Improving Intellectual Property Arrangements
Joint media release with the Minister for Communications and the Arts, Senator the Hon Mitch Fifield.
The Turnbull Government is improving Australia's intellectual property (IP) arrangements by ensuring they provide the flexibility needed for our 21st century economy.
The Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Senator Arthur Sinodinos, and Minister for Communications, Senator Mitch Fifield, said the proposed Australian Government changes responded to a recent Productivity Commission review of IP.
The Government will engage with industry and stakeholders through consultation to determine how best to implement the reforms.
As recommended by the Productivity Commission, IP policy will be monitored by a new IP Policy Group. A key priority will be to align Australian inventive step law with international best practice to ensure that the necessary protections are available to deserving inventions. The Government has also accepted the Productivity Commission's recommendation to phase out the Innovation Patent System.
The Government supports recommendations aimed at facilitating fairer access for Australians to copyright material, including orphan works and ensuring technological protection measures do not restrict legitimate contractual rights. The Government is mindful in this process of the position of rights holders and of the economic value generated by copyright material.
It is important copyright reform is considered in a holistic context rather than focused on individual issues. We will continue to work closely with stakeholders over the next 12 months to develop effective options for copyright reform.
The Government is also considering the merits of a number of other recommendations and will work on these further.
Ministers Sinodinos and Fifield said that Australia's IP system is well regarded and consistently ranks in the top tiers of international comparisons, and that these reform measures will ensure that Australia remains competitive in domestic and global marketplaces.
The Government's response to the Productivity Commission review, including the planned consultation process, is available at https://www.industry.gov.au/innovation/Intellectual-Property/Pages/default.aspx

They met when her and her girl friend started taking guitar lessons and this really cute instructor walked into the class and caught Lisa's eye. After a little while of lessons her friend couldn't afford lessons any longer so Lisa spoke with Nick about paying for her friend's lessons so they can continue, and that's when Nick realized that Lisa is not only gorgeous but she has a really kind heart and he wanted to get to know her better. They both have 2 boys each who, when all together get along so great, almost like their love and family was meant to be blended together.

The cabinet that houses my older pots & pans reminds me of a Hollywood prison holding cell. I've got a Paris Hilton (shallow old saucepan), a Charlie Sheen (cracked pot) and a few Lohans (these are just scratched, stained and darn near used up).
Ugh. Jokes falling flat today.
Happily, the sad state of my older cookware opened the (cabinet) door for a new star to shine. My cast iron pan is my favorite. It's the well-aged Estevez to my cracked-out Sheen. It's never disappointed me.
So I'm now the proud adoptive parent of two illegitimate mini cast-irons. What else can I do but embrace the situation and make adorable mini-frittatas?
There are a few accepted ways to make frittatas. You can flip, bake or broil them after allowing the eggs to set partially on the stovetop. As I'm about as hapless as Henrietta Lowell, I prefer the ease of popping it under the broiler for a few minutes.
Coat your oven-safe (illegitimate cast iron baby) pan(s) with plenty of butter, coconut oil, lard or ghee and saute your choice of veggies and meat (the "innards") over medium to medium-high heat.
While the innards cook, beat a few eggs (anywhere from 2 to 12 depending on the size of your pan), adding 1/2 tablespoon of cream for every 2-3 eggs. When the meat & veggies are cooked, pour the egg mix over them.
When most of the egg is set, but the top is still uncooked, pop the cast iron under the broiler to complete. It should only take a few minutes.
Use a potholder. Use a potholder. Use a potholder. Otherwise…ow.
Is this the broiler? Or is this heaven?
And now, my obscure-movie-reference-loving friend, you've got a frittata. Serve with salsa & avocado on top, or make a fun eggish sandwich out of it. It's also delicious cold!
What kind of cast iron skillets do you like? Are they pre-seasoned? I keep bidding on vintage Griswold ones on ebay (because they are already seasoned), but so far, no luck with actually winning one. I'm trying to make the switch to cast iron, but am a little worried about whether my eggs will stick. Yours look fantastic!!
I also covet the vintage Griswolds! But wedding gift certificates led me to Williams-Sonoma and the Lodge brand, which is pre-seasoned (although I find it's still necessary to scrub and re-season). I have absolutely no problem with eggs, but the procedure has changed a bit from my nonstick days…I heat up lots of coconut oil, pour the eggs in (if scrambled) and allow them to set briefly over the oil. You really do need to use tons of oil. Then I just fold them over themselves as they cook, and they never seem to stick!
I looooove my cast iron! My mother, who lives really really far away from me, has a large collection. I WANT them!! Do you want to know a really great place to pick up cast iron? Marshall's. I go every few weeks and they have what they call "seconds", but I cannot tell the difference and they work beautifully. As for sticking, I have only had my latest one for about 12 recipes, and if you just scrub with hot water after cooking and use fat when cooking, the seasoning really comes along. I also rub a little (teaspoon?) coconut oil on my pan after cleaning and either cook it in the oven at 350F for a half hour, or if I'm lazy I just throw it on the gas burner on low for a bit.
I NEVER would have thought to look at Marshall's! What an awesome tip!
Your photos are mouth watering! I wish I weren't allergic to eggs… I love the one of the pan in the oven. Cool pic!
Hello. One of your family members referred me to your blog, and I look forward to getting better acquainted with it. Just signed up for updates. We have some health issues going on in our family right now (gluten intolerance; allergies to dairy) and are looking to learn more.
Warren, thanks for reading. My "Smarter People" tab would probably be of great help to you.

A modern cosmetic industry is obsessed with adding organic components to their products. Aloe vera is one of the most popular natural ingredients in almost any type of self-care products, from creams to deodorants. But are there really any benefits of using this plant? And are there any aloe vera side effects we are not being told about? Let's find that out.
Download the Jiji app to buy anything you want for the best price!
Most of the cosmetic products aloe vera is added to are skincare products. So, what are the benefits of aloe vera in this department? There are actually quite a lot of uses of aloe vera in different forms for different skin problems.
the plant is full of antioxidants and antibacterial substances. It is also somewhat helpful in healing damaged places on your skin, like burns, cuts or even ulcers. Of course, these health benefits of aloe vera should be used as an additional mean, as there is the more helpful conventional medicine you could use.
There is also evidence of another aloe vera gel benefits for the skin. The substance has been noticed to reduce the aging of the skin, as it stimulated collagen production, which can prevent wrinkles and even get rid of some. However, there is no solid scientific proof of this and it may work only in some specific cases.
You can also use aloe vera for skin whitening. There is even a way to make your own natural skin-lightening remedy out of this plant – just grind it into the paste. Some even say that such a method was a result of Kleopatra's beauty.
Another one of the uses of aloe vera is to prevent the hair loss. The plant contains enzymes that repair dead cells of the skin on your head. Other benefits of aloe vera for hair is that it contains a lot of nutrients, which will make your hair gloss much more and will prevent your hair from damaging. There are lots of masks that contain aloe vera, and even aloe vera gel.
Aloe can be used not only to help you to improve yourself from the outside, but also from the inside. Remedies made out of this plant can be used for weight loss, they usually contain a lot of vitamins, including A, B, C and E. And aloe vera benefits for weight loss are not the most impressive ones – in some cases, it lowered the blood sugar and helped with constipation. But there are risks of consuming this plant orally – it can result in diarrhea, dehydration and, in some of the worst cases, kidney and liver failure. Just check your dose with your physician – be safe.

'Children of Men' Wins Scripter Award
BY Hugh McHarg
Clive Owen and Clare-Hope Ashitey star in the Universal Pictures drama.
Photo/Double Negative
The author of "Children of Men" and the screenwriters of the film based on the book have won the 19th annual USC Libraries Scripter Award.
British writer P.D. James published the book, her 12th, in 1992. Screenwriters Alfonso Cuaron, Timothy J. Sexton, David Arata, Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby adapted the screenplay for the 2006 film, directed by Cuaron.
The Scripter is awarded annually by the USC Libraries to honor writers for the best achievement in adaptation among English-language films released during the previous year and based on a book, novella or short story.
The selection committee, led by screenwriter, novelist and USC School of Cinematic Arts Writing Division Chair Howard A. Rodman, chose "Children of Men" from a field of 45 eligible films released in 2006. The other four finalists competing in the last round of voting were "The Devil Wears Prada," "The Illusionist," "The Last King of Scotland" and "Notes on a Scandal." Rodman announced the winners on behalf of the selection committee and the Friends of the USC Libraries, which sponsors the award.
"This year's five nominated films were, all of them, heartfelt and elegantly wrought," Rodman said. "In that heady company, 'Children of Men' was first among equals. Messrs. Cuaron, Sexton, Arata, Fergus and Ostby took P.D. James' bracingly dystopic novel and crafted from it a film at once brave, subtle, shocking. This is writing and screenwriting of the highest order."
"Children of Men" depicts humanity's coming to terms with its impending extinction due to universal infertility. Set in near-future Great Britain, anarchy has overtaken once-ordered societies, leaving little hope for a dwindling population consumed with violence and factionalism. Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Clare-Hope Ashitey star as humanity's last chance for survival.
Author James, 86, so far has published 19 books in her long career as a writer, member of the British Civil Service and magistrate. Other credits for the screenwriters include "Y tu mamá tambien" (Cuaron); "Live From Baghdad" (Sexton); "Spy Game" (Arata); and the upcoming "Iron Man" (Fergus and Ostby).
Universal Pictures distributes "Children of Men," and Vintage published a reprint paperback edition of the book in May 2006.
The black-tie Scripter gala honoring the winning collaboration will be held on Sunday, Feb. 18, in USC's Doheny Memorial Library. Henry Winkler will make his third appearance as emcee, with Hal Kanter returning as grand emcee for the seventh time.


Rub entire roast with oil and sprinkle salt and pepper. If available, insert an oven proof meat thermometer into the middle of the roast, avoiding the bone. If an oven proof meat thermometer is not available, check meat temperature during the last 15 minutes of cooking with an instant read thermometer to check for doneness.
"Can't wait to try this. We are going to have it on New Year's Day. It is nice that the recipe includes the cooking times for the different levels of doneness."
"My husband made this for us this last weekend. It was simple enough for him and it turned out delicious! I will let him make this anytime!"
"I love simple recipes that turn out so great! Sometimes the more you do to a roast like this the more it takes away from its true flavor."
"It is great when a recipe keeps things simple. Like "bam" said, with a good cut of meat you don't need to add much. Sometimes simple is better!"
"This was so simple and perfect for Sunday dinner. I followed the suggestions from a member and rubbed it with mustard and sea salt overnight. It was delicious and had a thin crust all around it."
"I made this for our anniversary supper. It is a simple recipe but with such a good cut of meat you don't need to add much. The roast turned out fantastic."
"Looks like I can even handle this. Is there a bone in the ribeye roast?"
"PREP SUGGESTION FROM A MEMBER: Rubbing the meat with French mustard and only rubbing the fat with oil and sprinkling on sea salt is an alternative that we use in our family and is sooooo good. We leave it with the rub on for a minimum overnight and we always take the meat to room temperature before cooking, firing up the oven to the highest temperature it can go to and putting the meat in for 20 mins to kick off and then reduce to the required heat will ensure that the flavours of the mustard, salt & oil are all sealed in."
"Hard for me to believe this is a recipe, but it is a good recipe for a beginner, basic. I agree with GabriELLA, use coarse salt. I will have to experiment with some rubs on this one."
"Great basic recipe. The canola oil was different for me, but it was very good. I also used coarse salt, just like I do on prime rib."
"These were the perfect directions for a good roast. I liked the picture so much that I ended up making the slow cooker new potatoes recipe that is in your slow cooker tips - side dish section. You should put that slow cooker new potatoes recipe in your recipes, they turned out really good too."

FRANCE: PSA announces new cost-cutting measures
PSA Peugeot Citroen has announced a series of new cost-cutting measures that will see its annual capital expenditure budget reduced to EUR2.5bn ($3.2bn) from about EUR3bn.
The move is designed to counter declining market share in Europe and a reduction in profit margins.
Immediate steps are being taken to generate EUR125m of savings in the second half of 2006, including a hiring freeze. At its plants in France and Spain, PSA is reducing the number of temporary employees and fixed-term contracts by nor replacing departing employees, this combined with the closure of the Ryton (UK) plant means that the workforce in the group's European plants will have been reduced by 10,000 people in one year.
The decision not to build a second production unit at the Trnava plant will lead to a EUR200m reduction in the previously announced EUR350m capital spending programme.
Lastly, the development of synergies between neighbouring plants producing vehicles on the same platform is already underway between Mulhouse and Sochaux and will be extended to Poissy and Aulnay.
A plan to make the automobile development process more efficient has also been launched, with the goal of reducing R&D costs by 15% for vehicles just entering the development process. However the total R&D budget will stay the same over the next three years, enabling PSA to develop more new models more quickly.
The group will also renew core-range models in Europe more frequently to keep the average age low and extend its vehicle line-up to new market segments. In addition to renewing existing product ranges, by 2009 PSA Peugeot Citroën will introduce six new body styles in segments in which it currently has no models.
Outside Europe, an assertive product strategy based on a wide range of models tailored to local customer expectations has been launched. Between 2006 and 2009, 11 model launches are planned for China and six for the Mercosur (South America) countries.
With the signature of a memorandum of understanding to study a possible cooperation with Proton in Malaysia and the search for local production capacity in Russia, the company said it is seeking to establish a presence in new growth markets while limiting its investments.

GastroEsophageal Reflux occurs when the stomach contents back up into the esophagus or the mouth. This is a normal healthy process that occurs in people of all ages, most times it's brief and it causes no problems. However, someone with GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) may experience the following often painful symptoms: heartburn, pain with swallowing, persistent sore throat, non-burning chest pain, chronic sinusitis, chronic phlegm or vomiting.
Food is taken from the mouth to the stomach via the esophagus. The esophagus is a tube made of muscle and tissue that expand and contract to move food to the stomach. Between the stomach and esophagus is the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The LES expands to allow food into the stomach, and then contracts to prevent acid from re-entering the esophagus. Normal reflux becomes GERD when it causes bothersome symptoms. This can vary from person to person; there is no definitive test to identify if you have GERD. You need to seek help immediately if any of the following symptoms manifest: difficulty swallowing, food feels 'stuck', unexplained weight loss, chest pain, choking or spitting up bloodc.
Treatment for GERD can widely vary depending on reported symptoms. Often times medication is recommended without a thorough evaluation of lifestyle or diet. A common medication prescribed is a class of drugs called a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), a common over-the-counter PPI is Prilosec or generically named omeprazole. The long term effects of Prilosec are not ideal. There is a higher incidence rate of certain stomach cancers, and it can also lead to risk of atrophy of the stomach lining because of the long-term suppression of acid secretion by stomach cells. A PPI may provide short term benefits, but ultimately it is masking the pain, rather than treating the problem.
Weight loss — For those that are overweight the number one factor increasing your likelihood of experiencing GERD is the extra weight you are carrying. Weight loss will also reduce your chances of heart diseases and diabetes.
Quit Smoking — The LES is affected by the stimulant in cigarettes, nicotine.
Reduce Caffeine — Stimulants in general reduce the pressure in the LES increasing GERD symptoms.
Avoid large and late meals — Lying down with a full stomach may increase your chance of symptoms. Smaller meals keep the stomach from becoming engorged.
Raise the head of your bed 8 inches, using pillows or props.
Chew gum — Chewing gum can increase saliva production which can help clear stomach acid in the esophagus.
There are lots of treatments to soothe the symptoms of GERD while healing the tissues. This is an area to be addressed with your Naturopathic Physician, who can help wean you off of PPI or other prescription drugs.

It's only my second product from Laura Mercier (with a 3rd currently on its way to me - Indiscretion Highlighter anyone??) and I am already in love with everything I own - it is such a shame my nearest counter in over 4 hours away *cries* so I can't just go on a swatching mission whenever I like!!
The Flawless Contouring Palette is limited edition (LE) and as soon as I saw pictures popping up on social media, I knew I had to have it!! I called up my nearest LM counter (Brisbane, Queen St Mall) and spoke with the counter manager Mary, she was so lovely and said she would call when they arrived in store! Little did she know the stock would arrive earlier than the original release date, and she called me the very next day!! She shipped it out free of charge and it arrived 2 days later!!
This is my first "real" contouring kit - the Australis one I have doesn't count because I think its terrible (my own opinion - you may love it) and I firmly believe in the saying "You get what you pay for!"
This contour palette retails for $69.00AUD and I believe it is very well priced! You receive a lot of product, as you only need a very small amount to get your desired effect. Contour #1 has 0.17oz (4.8grams) and the rest of the pans have 0.1oz (2.8grams). Thats a total of 16grams of product and works out to be around $4.30 per gram.
The palette contains 3 neutral coloured contour shades (Contour #1, Contour #2 Medium, Contour #3 Deep) and 2 highlighter shades (Highlight #1 & Highlight #2). It has a nice sized mirror, and also comes with three handy pull out guides (contouring, highlighting & quick fixes) and a message from Laura Mercier which are stored behind the mirror!
The shades themselves are incredibly creamy, and pigmented! You can apply it lightly for a less defined look or go in and deepen it with a different shade of contour or a more heavy hand. The contour shades are easily blended into the skin, as they warm up with your body temperature.
The range of contouring shades in this palette are some of the better I have seen. I believe it caters to all skin tones, with the three different shades. Contour #1 is the lightest (and largest pan size) of the palette, its definitely suited the to majority of skin tones (the palest of pale skin tones would have to use a very light hand). Contour #2 is slightly darker, and would be great for that dramatic contour for going out at night or photography. Contour #3 is quite dark, and will probably the one that gets the least use from me, however its always good to keep your options open - especially for my professional kit.
The highlighting shades are a little different from other contour palettes, as they are both shimmery colours. The yellow "banana" shade (highlight #1) is one that you wouldn't use to brighten up the under-eye area but more of a top of the cheek bone, brow bone highlight. Highlight #2 is more of a bronzy-coppery shades that would work well on darker skin tones to highlight, or on paler ones to bronze or even as a blush! I actually think it would make a great cream eyeshadow!!
My tools of choice for using this kit are your fingers or the Sigma F70 concealer brush for precise placement of product, the Real Techniques Contour Brush* (from the Core Collection) for buffing and blending in the product and a Beauty Blender Pro for making sure that the product is completely blended into the skin.
My tools of choice for cream contouring!!
Overall I think this product is great! Its amazing quality, blends easily and is great value for money! I have taken a liking to Laura Mercier products and will definitely be picking up more in the future!!
What are your favourite Laura Mercier products? What should I pick up next? Let me know in the comments below!!
Also, would you like to see a tutorial on how I contour with this palette??
I love Laura Mercier tinted moisturizers, I would love to try this palette out, it looks incredible!
The Tinted Moisturisers are next on my LM wish list!! It keeps growing every week!!
I am hesitant to try cream contouring because I find it impossible to get creams to stick to my dry skin! The packaging is almost too good to pass up on though haha.
Oh thats a shame, I only have the one powder contour kit and its the not so good Australis one.. I definitely need a try a better one!!!
The only thing I own from Laura Mercier is the hydrating primer but I don't love it. It's more of a moisturiser on me and doesn't really make my foundation last longer. This palette does look amazing though! It's so nice that they shipped it out to you free of charge! I love good customer service like that.
Yes you definitely need some LM in your life!!! Do they have a counter in T'ville?


Tsukiji Outer Market is a must after visiting the Tsukiji Fish Market proper. The Outer Market shops specialise in everything from Japanese handmade knives and kitchen supplies to cooking ingredients and products from towns and regions across Japan.
Tsukiji Outer Market is a must for food lovers and cooks, both professional chefs and home cooks alike, after visiting the Tsukiji Fish Market proper. After exploring Tsukiji Fish Market*, where we tasted the most sublime tuna of our lives, our guide for the day, Tokyo food and sake expert, Etsuko Nakamura, takes us across the road to explore the Outer Market.
"For me, this is just as interesting, if not more interesting in some ways, than visiting the fish market, and definitely more interesting than the tuna auction!" Etsuko tells us as she leads us on a tour of what turns out to be a paradise for food lovers and cooks, professional chefs and home cooks alike.
At Tsukiji Outer Market specialist shops sell everything from Japanese handmade knives and kitchen supplies to Japanese ingredients and products from across Japan and each shop specialises in a particular product or type of produce. For example, four or five shops only sell Tamago-Yaki or Japanese omelette, in different versions, from sweet to salty, plain, with seaweed or vegetables.
There are shops that are tofu specialists selling every conceivable form of tofu — they even sell tofu ice-cream! Countless shops sell nori (seaweed) and nothing else — the seaweed with wasabi that they were giving away samples of on the day we visited was pretty wild!
Etsuko takes us to a shop specialising in unagi or dried fish in all its many shapes and forms, which she reveals is seasonal. July is the month to buy it at Tsukiji Outer Market and there's a particular day when there is so much unagi that the smell is enough to get people down here.
"It's so popular in Japan because it's healthy with loads of vitamin B and is a great energy source," Etsuko says.
Many of the shops at Tsukiji Outer Market focus on just one or two specialty products from a particular region or town. One shop stocks only the finest quality beef from Yoshizawa, another trades in seafood and the colossal summer rock oysters from Ivakaki that we've been enjoying while we've been in Tokyo. They're so tempting some visitors bought them on the spot and downed them at the stand!
Other shops at Tsukiji Outer Market specialise in bonito flakes (katsuobushi), used to make dashi — the stock that forms the base of many soups and sauces in Japanese cooking. The customers were all regulars getting their supplies of katsuobushi to make stock for their restaurants.
At a shop specialising in products from the region of Kanogazawa on the coast, Etsuko points out some tarako or spiced cod roe from Kyusho, which she tells us you can eat by itself with rice or can cook and serve with noodles or even pasta.
Just when we see the connection between tarako and the Italian bottarga which we loved cooking with in Sardinia, we spot some bottarga displayed on a stand beside the tarako.
"Here it's called karasumi, and we slice it thinly and serve it with sake — it's the best pairing possible!" Etsuko says, her face lighting up. Sake is her specialty.
One of the final shops that Etsuko takes us into is one that initially appears to specialise in frozen food, but which Etsuko reveals is the place at Tsukiji Outer Market for Tokyo's fine dining chefs to come to buy the pre-prepared bits and pieces, ingredients and garnishes that are used to create the intricate dishes that make up the multi-course meals that comprise a kaiseki feast.
"Kaseki was the meal that originally accompanied tea ceremony," Etsuko reveals. "So the dishes were simple, and pure, but elegant. Now the dishes are so much more elaborate." These are the places the Michelin guide loves.
We ask Etsuko for recommendations for spots to eat at Tsukiji Outer Market because we've found the sheer number of places overwhelming and it's hard to know which guidebooks to trust.
Etsuko's response is similar when we ask her for tips for the best sushi spots at Tsukiji Outer Market after we see tourists crammed into a sushi joint that is in all the guidebooks. She screws up her nose at the particular spot we mention, telling us it's no better than any other sushi joint.
Etsuko also reveals that the whole sushi breakfast thing is something only tourists do. You'll see far more rubber boots at the local noodle joints and sandwich shops at the market than in the sushi restaurants — for a variety of reasons.
As we discovered, the main difference at the top end is the reputation of the chef and the chef's presentation of the sushi. As if to prove her own point, when we ask Etsuko where we can take her for lunch, she leads us out of the Tsukiji Outer Market to the perimetre where there are a row of simple no-frills eateries, and takes us to a simple teishoku (set menu) place.
It's a sultry day, it's not yet noon and the outside tables, even those in the sunshine, are packed with local workers, as are the tables inside. We bag a table in the shade as soon as one is free, and while we're downing icy cold beers, long lines begin to form out front.
Each day there are different specials — today it's sea urchin (which Lara and Etsuko opt for) and a local fish (which I choose) — and each set menu comes with vegetables, sauces, pickles, miso and rice for the equivalent of US$9 or UK£6 per person, along with some of the cheapest beers we've bought in Tokyo.
There are no English menus, staff don't speak English (but it would be easy enough to point if Etsuko wasn't with us), and thankfully, there aren't any tourists lining up.
*Note: Tsukiji Fish Market has now closed. Click through for details on the Tsukiji Fish Market closure and opening of the new Toyosu Fish Market.
If you'd like to hire Etsuko for a wander around Tsukiji fish markets or a sake related tour contact her via her blog Tokyofoodcast or her Sake Tours site.
love your blog and photos….just fabulous..great concept and flawless excecution..very diffrent from all the other blogs out there..
question for terence, there's a remarkable "pop" and clarity in so many of your photos. I realize you may be using some off camera flash or high end lenses on some of them. Or is it a special "sauce" during post processing..
Clarity and pop is *exactly* what I'm after, so thank you – you've made my day! Off-camera flash? No, unless it's a portrait like the one at midnight for Tokyo. High end lenses? Absolutely. Shallow depth of field helps separate the subject from the background and gives you much sharper pictures. I also mainly use prime lenses.
Post processing is quick and dirty. I do try to make the set of photos have a similar 'tone' for sure, but no real special herbs or spices. I do picture the set as a 'package' and try to select photos that will work together as much as possible as well. I am also trying to give each destination a particular feel as well, so I hope that comes through!

This week's buzz features Jesus in hell and a rap battle between the Mythbusters and the Ghostbusters.
Ghostbusters vs. Mythbusters
Epic Rap Battles of History kicked off their fourth season with this matchup. (WARNING: there's some strong language in this video.)
Brother Guy Wins the Carl Sagan Medal
Brother Guy Consolmagno, a Vatican astronomer, just won a big award. The Detroit Free Press reported the details:
Consolmagno, 62, a member of the Catholic Jesuit order of priests and brothers, is being recognized for his witty, wise and engaging explanations of the heavens. He has authored or co-authored several books, such as "Would You Baptize an Extraterrestrial?" and "Turn Left at Orion," has lectured around the world and even has an asteroid named after him.
The American Astronomical Society Division for Planetary Sciences annually honors individuals whose work has made scientific learning understandable and accessible to the public. The medal is named after astronomer Carl Sagan, who explained the heavens via the popular 1980s public TV series "Cosmos."
Brother Guy is a great, entertaining voice of reason in the science and religion debate. For more on his views, check out an interview he did with HuffPost a few months ago.
What Was Jesus Doing in Hell?
The Apostles' Creed says that Jesus "descended into hell" after his death and before his resurrection.
What in the world does that mean? Did Jesus actually go to hell, or is this just a metaphor for something? Richard Ostling—"The Religion Guy"—responded to these questions. Check out what he said about this strange doctrine.
Darwin & God
Dr. Ronald Numbers, a historian who has written much about science and religion, gave a lecture about Darwin and God.
Adam and Eve: "Fall, or Folly?"
Chaplain Mike, over at Internet Monk, wrote a great four-part series on Adam and Eve: part 1, 2, 3, and 4. He looked at how Adam and Eve's story resembles a wisdom story, and he drew some helpful conclusions:
This story was intended first for Israel, who throughout their history followed the same patterns set by Adam and Eve and then by their children Cain and Abel and were likewise sent off into exile from God's good land.
But one effect of reading this as a wisdom story is that it tends to universalize its message. Jew and Gentile alike, we recognize ourselves in the stories of Adam and Eve and their children. As one of our commenters said in yesterday's thread: Adam is everyman. And Eve is everywoman. These stories reveal the universal human susceptibility to temptation. We all show ourselves to be simpletons, in need of divine wisdom.
Chaplain Mike tackled other questions, such as whether humanity fell from a state of perfection and how Paul viewed Adam and Eve.
What do you think of his points?

Great update! The "Jesus in Hell" question is one I've often thought of, and Ostling's summary of the views is accessible and informative.
Thanks, Darin! Yeah, I really appreciated his summary of the different views.

NICE issues guidelines on neurological conditions
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has today published a guideline on recognising and referring people with suspected neurological conditions.
Research shows that some patients with neurological conditions had to see their GPs five or more times before specialist referral.
The new guideline offers, for the first time, comprehensive information on neurological conditions in general to help non-specialist healthcare professionals to identify people who should be offered referral for specialist assessment and care.
The guideline makes recommendations about which symptoms and signs should prompt a referral for further neurological assessment. It also covers some examinations, assessment tools and investigative tests non-specialists could use to help them decide whether a person with a suspected neurological condition should have further investigation or be referred to a specialist.
People with suspected neurological conditions often go to their GP with symptoms that are difficult to diagnose, which in turn can make identifying neurological conditions hard. A recent survey by the Neurological Alliance found that nearly a third of respondents had to see their GP five or more times about the health problems caused by their condition before being referred to a neurological specialist. It also found that around 40% of respondents waited more than a year from when they first noticed their symptoms to seeing a specialist.
Suspected neurological conditions account for about one in 10 GP consultations, and around 10% of emergency medical admissions (excluding stroke) and result in disability for one in 50 of the UK population.
The guideline aims to make a difference to anyone who might have a neurological condition by making sure:
GPs can recognise when symptoms could have a neurological cause
GPs and doctors in emergency departments know when to refer people to a specialist straight away and when to do more tests first
people who most need to see a specialist can see one sooner
people are not referred to a specialist if they don't need to be.
Dr Paul Chrisp, director of the Centre for Guidelines at NICE, said: "People with suspected neurological conditions often need referral to a specialist to be diagnosed. However, we know that some people with neurological conditions are initially misdiagnosed or have a delayed referral to a specialist, and some referrals are unnecessary. These issues with referral can come from non-specialists not recognising neurological conditions.
"This new guideline should help improve outcomes for people with suspected neurological conditions by providing, for the first time, a comprehensive assessment of the key signs and symptoms across the range of possible neurological conditions that should trigger referral to a specialist."
Richard Grunewald, chair of the guideline committee, added: "A non-specialist cannot be expected to keep up with the rapid changes in knowledge and practice in clinical neurology. This new guideline will help non-specialists recognise patients with neurological symptoms, such as dizziness and sleep disturbance, to prompt their referral to specialist assessment and care."

MODERNISM IN METRO-LAND
Metro-Land and Modernism
The Architects
All Change!
We are pleased to share our updated website. The site has been freshened up, with a new theme and design, as well as some deeper changes. We have used new fonts throughout, with bolder type for the links and titles. We have also added notes and photos to existing pages, as well as adding over 30 new buildings to the site. We will continue to update the existing pages with photos and additional information over the coming months.
The deeper change comes in the organisation of the site. Previously buildings were arranged into either Interwar or Postwar categories, depending one when they were built, and then into categories of Building Types. This organization came from the early days of the site, when there were fewer buildings. As the site has grown and spread beyond its original North West London home, the amount of buildings has grown dramatically, leading to a somewhat baggy site.
Image from London Transport Museum Shop
To streamline the site and make easier to use, we have made some organizational changes. The Central London sections were moved to a new site Modernist London a couple of months ago. Now instead of the Interwar/Postwar Building Type organization, the site is organised geographically. All buildings are now listed according to the borough or county they are in, and the boroughs/counties have been grouped into North London, West London, East London, South London and Counties.
Hopefully this reorganization will make it easier for visitors to find buildings in a location they want to explore (the By Borough page was previously the most popular). Of course this geographical emphasis also reflects our forthcoming Guide to Modernism to Metro-Land (published 2020) which will feature modernist buildings from 9 London Boroughs and 2 counties. South London is a new area for the site, and so some of the Southern boroughs have only a few buildings in them, but we will look to expand them soon.
Hopefully you will like the new changes and find them useful. If you have any comments or anything else you'd like to bring to our attention you can leave it in the comment section of the blog or email abbottjoshua@hotmail.com. Enjoy!

Boris Johnson says claims he approved animal airlift out of Afghanistan for Pen Farthing are 'total rhubarb' as more leaked emails undermine govt's account
Leaked messages appear to show that the prime minister's top parliamentary aide, Trudy Harrison, told Virgin Atlantic her efforts to secure a plane to evacuate animals from Kabul were backed by the government and that permissions would be "fast-tracked".
Rob Powell
Political correspondent @robpowellnews
Friday 28 January 2022 03:50, UK
PM denies Kabul animal airlift claim
Boris Johnson has dismissed claims he approved the airlift of animals out of Afghanistan, saying they are "total rhubarb", as Sky News obtained more emails which call into question the government's account.
But speaking during a visit to Wales on Thursday, Mr Johnson said: "I can tell you that the military always prioritised human beings and that was quite right."
Nandy: 'PM's story is not credible'
Fresh questions about the government's account began to be raised on Wednesday after the emergence of new whistleblower emails which were released by the Foreign Affairs Select Committee.
The committee, which is conducting an inquiry into the government's handling of the Afghanistan crisis, disclosed communications which suggest the PM did personally authorise rescue efforts for pets and animals.
On 25 August 2021, an official working for Foreign Office minister Lord Goldsmith sent an email to the Foreign Office "special cases" team regarding the possible evacuation of an unnamed animal charity.
In it, the official writes: "Equivalent charity Nowzad, run by an ex-Royal Marine, has received a lot of publicity and the PM has just authorised their staff and animals to be evacuated, [animal charity - name redacted] are hoping to be treated in the same capacity."

Trudy Harrison
This appears to support claims made last year in written evidence by whistleblower Raphael Marshall, a desk officer at the Foreign Office, that the department "received an instruction from the prime minister" to use "considerable capacity" to help animals leave the country that were being cared for by Nowzad, run by Paul "Pen" Farthing.

New emails raise further questions
Correspondence obtained by Sky News between managers at the airline states Ms Harrison said that the transport secretary would "provide whatever assistance is needed" to get the animals out and that her efforts had the backing of the government.
There is no further suggestion that the transport secretary had given Ms Harrison any such assurances.
'UK prioritised people for evacuations'
She was requesting help from Virgin to find a plane to make the trip, a plan which eventually fell through.
In a separate email the process of fast-tracking permission for the flight to leave Afghanistan was also discussed after Ms Harrison reportedly said she could guarantee it.
The emails cast doubt on Ms Harrison's claim that she had been acting "as a constituency MP at all times".
On Wednesday, Sky News reported that Ms Harrison also contacted a private charter company to arrange a flight saying that her "boss was keen".
Downing Street has said the prime minister had "no role" in authorising the evacuation.
In a series of emails between staff and senior managers at Virgin Atlantic, Ms Harrison's promises to remove obstacles with the help of various government ministers are outlined in detail.
In one email, sent on 23 August between a senior manager at the company who had been approached directly by Ms Harrison and a second Virgin Atlantic boss the senior manager states: "My local MP, Trudy Harrison, is PPS to the PM and has sought my advice this evening on the mechanics of transportation of a Mr Farthing and his Afghanistan based rescue dogs and cats plus other evacuees from Kabul imminently.
"She has said relevant permissions would be fast-tracked in government."
Emails: PM Ok'd animal evacuation
In a second email, the same senior manager then emails the chief executive of Virgin the day after, stating that Ms Harrison has full government backing for her intervention.
The exchange reads: "My local MP Trudy Harrison (who is Boris Johnson's PPS and works at No 10) has enquired of me yesterday evening whether we can provide transportation for Mr Pen Farthing and his rescue animals and others from Kabul... She has said the transportation secretary will provide whatever assistance is required.
"This being a government-backed situation and clearly incredibly sensitive I trust it's in order to bring it to your attention in case you wish to deal with it personally yourself."
Ms Harrison told Sky News she was acting as a constituency MP. None of her constituents were directly involved in the evacuation.
The aide to the prime minister also emailed the Virgin CEO Shai Weiss directly on the 24 August, a day before she approached the charter company for help to find an alternative plane.
Ms Harrison says "we are keen to engage in early preparedness as this is a more complex and particularly high profile operation".
She also states that specific flight codes would be needed from UK defence and that "we very much hope [they] will be forthcoming, subject to an effective process prioritising those in most urgent need".
Sky News understands the funding for the charter flight Ms Harrison tried to arrange on the 25 August was being provided by a US philanthropist and campaigner.
Animals that were being cared for in Afghanistan by the Nowzad charity, run by Paul "Pen" Farthing, were eventually airlifted on a plane provided by a separate Polish charter company and staff escaped by a land-route.
Ms Harrison told Sky News: "I was assisting Pen Farthing and Nowzad as a constituency MP in response to many Copeland constituents' requests to assist.
"I was contacted directly by over 40 constituents last summer asking for my support for the charity's staff and animals.
"As part of my efforts to help them, I reached out to a pilot in my constituency for some advice."
Asked about claims Mr Johnson approved the airlift of animals out of Afghanistan, Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle told Sky News: "I'm an animal lover but I also love people as well, there's a story to come out but its not for me to judge."


The use of intelligent wheelchair and rehabilitation robots has increased rapidly in the recent years owing to a growing number of patients experiencing paralysis, quadriplegia, amputation, and geriatric conditions. In this paper, the design and development of a powerful voice control system is proposed. It includes three modes of operational voice-recognition algorithms. Two sophisticated voice-recognition modules are used to achieve this goal. The system supports speaker dependent (SD) and speaker independent (SI) voice processing. Two voice-recognition algorithms are used, dynamic time warping (DTW) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM), to ensure the maximum voice-recognition accuracy and reduce voice-recognition errors. The system is validated in different noise environments to verify the performance of the system with low and high noise and to evaluate the feasibility of using the system in these environments. Three popular languages (English, German, and Chinese) were used by the system to verify performance with different pronunciations.

Words by Naz Rahman
Raising a younger brother diagnosed with autism has shaped how I function day-to-day. Growing up in the South Asian community, we as a family quickly discovered how taboo the topic of disability truly is. It was heartbreaking to experience how differently family and friends treated my brother upon his diagnosis. It has taken years of patiently educating those around us to finally establish a safe circle of family friends who love and respect my brother for who he is.
With that same approach, I use my social media platform to raise awareness about autism to reach as many South Asian families who may also be on a similar journey. Our family of four living in Calgary is currently following social distancing orders. My brother, Ridwan, regularly attends a day program for adults with special needs called "Eric's House." Due to COVID-19, we have decided to keep Ridwan home until the situation is under control. While staying at home, Eric's House regularly does Instagram Lives where they do music sing-alongs, which Ridwan enjoys watching. Lives and Zoom calls have been excellent access from home tools for us to connect Ridwan to his friends and his various community services. For us, access from home enables everyone to connect from the comfort of their homes. Internet access is critical for this.
Our biggest challenge during this pandemic has been getting physical exercise for Ridwan. Like many, he spends several hours on his devices, watching cartoons to pass the time. Ridwan highly depends on interactive-social settings like bowling or swimming to engage him. We are trying to make the best of this situation by routinely going on walks in our community.
Although this pandemic has been challenging to reset how we operate daily, one positive aspect has been allowing us to spend a lot of time as a family during our holy month of Ramadan. We are cooking meals, praying and watching shows together regularly. This wouldn't have been possible with our usual busy schedules.
Naz Rahman is a beauty and lifestyle content creator based in Calgary, Alberta. She is an autism advocate and has been invited to speak at conferences on understanding autism. She was a prominent leader at Youth Central, running Islamic programs for young children, and was the youngest employee hired by the Ability Society. Her work and contributions have received several recognitions from the local community including Outstanding Youth Philanthropist in 2014. Follow her on Instagram at @miniinaaz.

At Marqueart we use a shopping cart system for handling orders, just like in a shopping store.
Each item that is available to be purchased will have an 'add to cart' button at the bottom of the description for the item. If there are options for the model, such as different colours, then select the option you require first by using the pull down menu just above the 'add to cart' button. Then click the 'add to cart' button.
This is designed to be similar to a store shopping cart system. You add the item to your cart and then go to the checkout. Clicking the 'add to cart' button will take you to the shopping cart where you can see the details of the model you are buying. The shopping cart will show all charges including any for postage and packing. (Click on select/modify shipping and select the area the goods are to be posted to and you will see total shipping charges).
You can print the contents of the shopping cart by clicking on 'Click here to SHOW Mail Form' and then the 'Print' button. If you click on the 'Del' square dustbin symbol for any item the item will be deleted. If you click on the 'clear cart' button the shopping cart will be emptied of all items. If you wish to choose further models click on the 'Continue Shopping' button to go back to our site.
You can see what is in your shopping basket from our site at any time by clicking any 'view cart' button.
When you have finished shopping you can choose to place the order immediately, paying by credit or debit card, or to post the order to us.
If you choose to pay by card on site your order will be handled using a secure server, which ensures security during the order process. To ensure that the payment system is completely secure we use the PayPal system. To pay by card click the 'Checkout' button on the shopping cart. This will take you to the secure PayPal site and you will see our email address at the top of the page.
PayPal is a system that allows anyone with an email address to send and receive online payments securely. PayPal makes sending money as easy as sending an email. You can instantly send money to anyone with an email address. Recipients are notified by email that they have received a payment.
PayPal uses SSL* technology to keep your information safe. In addition, when you send a payment using PayPal your credit card details are only used by PayPal and we do not receive sensitive financial information like your credit card or bank account number. This eliminates unnecessary worry about paying people you don't know well.
PayPal is available to people in over 190 countries and regions. You can make payments to PayPal in a large number of local currencies.
PayPal is far less time-consuming than writing and posting paper cheques, and unlike cheques, which can take days to clear, most PayPal transactions clear instantly. It is always free to send money, you receive your items faster, and it is secure and private.
For new buyers, in most countries, signing up for a PayPal account is optional. This means customers can complete their payments first, and then decide whether to save their information for future purchases.
Shipping information — Customers enter their name and postal address.
Billing information — Customers enter credit card information, email address and phone number. They also have the option to send a message to us.
Review of payment information — Customers review what they have entered to make sure it is correct. They can either edit the information or complete the checkout process.
If you wish you can save your customer information with PayPal at this stage — this allows you to shop more quickly and easily in the future. To create a PayPal account, all you need to do is choose a password and answer a few security questions.
You will receive a confirmation email from PayPal detailing your order and payment.
If you choose to post the order to us the simplest way is to fill in your address on the shopping cart form and print the form. Please make sure that you fill in your email address accurately as this will allow us to email you with acknowledgement of your order and tell you when the goods are being despatched. (We never supply your email address to any other party). Then simply post the form to us with your payment. We can accept payment by cheque (please make sure that it is made out as detailed on the shopping cart form), or by postal order. We also accept payment by bank transfer. If you wish to use a bank transfer please email with details of the models you want and ask us for details of our bank account which we will then send you by email, together with an order number which will allow us to trace the payment. We can only handle credit card payments through the PayPal system.
Marqueart acknowledges all orders and will advise on an expected despatch date as part of this acknowledgement.
Please note that the shopping cart function uses Java scripts to temporarily store details of your order and to display the shopping cart. These are all deleted when you leave the site. We respect your privacy and will do nothing to compromise it.
* SSL - (Secure Sockets Layer technology is the industry-standard method for protecting Web communications. The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication). This means that your computer is sure that it is connected to PayPal, and that the communication is coded so it cannot be read by another user.

Hello dear friends! I hope you've had a lovely weekend! Today I have a fun patterned birthday card to share with you for this week's Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. Today's challenge is a birthday theme. How fun!
I started by printing out my image from Wags and Whiskers on some fun chevron DSP from I Am Me. I paired it with some Birthday Basics DSP and some Basic Gray card stock. I colored in some fun accents in the image - the party hats, present and wee mouse, Squeak. I'm still torn on whether or not I should color in Ellie, the elephant. I think she might look okay, but my coloring skills aren't so fabulous and you know that once I start, there's no turning back... For now, I'm liking her chevron pattern. Then I embellished the card with some Pool Party Baker's Twine, some designer buttons, and the Chalk Talk stamp that I embossed in White on some Basic Gray card stock and die cut with the coordinating die. Hope you like it and are having a fabulous day!
Be sure to stop over at the Cupcake Inspirations Blog for some more fun birthday cards that our sweeties have designed. Then, won't you create a sweet birthday card and link up with us? We'd love to see what you create!
Nina, Love the chevrons and how you printed the elephant on it! This is so cute! Love the buttons that pull out the dots on the pattern paper!

Touring Athens Greece: Where Greek travels must begin
March 1, 2020 August 8, 2015 by Cori Solomon
Touring Athens Greece is a must for any traveler. Even on a Sunday, you can feel the bustle of energy in this city. There is an underlying aura that goes back to ancient times. One feels the cradle of civilization all around you, and it starts at the top of the hills overlooking Athens, the Acropolis and goes beyond to the sea where the tranquil beauty of the landscape brings you to present day.
The Acropolis
The magnificent massive columns adorn these hills and the skies above giving tribute to the gods. One can only imagine the labor that went into achieving the magnitude of these structures. The vigorous hike up to these relics evokes a sense of time and place.
Walking the grounds of the new Acropolis Museum one observes the recent excavations and marvels at what other treasures might lie beneath the nearby grounds to be discovered.
At the Acropolis
Below the Acropolis lies the colorful markets and plazas filled with restaurants and trinkets. Yes it is a bit touristy, but it is fun to sit outdoors over lunch enjoying the musings of humanity today; definitely juxtaposition to the relics that lurch above.
Touring Athens Greece By Car
Upon completion of a trek to the Acropolis, one can enjoy a tour of the city by Best Travel. From the watching of the hourly maturations of the guards in front of the government building to a short but strenuous hike up to one of the hilltop churches, St George on Lykavittos Hill that offers a spectacular view of the city, to the beauty of Vouliagmeni Lake and its surrounding coastal marinas of the Athenian Riviera, one gets a glimpse of the diversity of experiences Athens has to offer.
Like the views at the Acropolis, the panoramic vista from the top of Lykavittos Hill is different and more spectacular if you can handle the trek to the top. From the observation platform, the view reaches to the Piraeus and Saronic Gulf and includes the Acropolis, the Temple of Zeus, the Panathenaic Stadium, and the Parliament Building. There also is a café at the top where you can also enjoy these impressive panoramas.
The Acropolis from St George
Vouliagmeni
Vouliagmeni is a seaside village south of Athens that sits at the foot of the Hymettus Mountains. Nearby lies the natural phenomena, a small lake that maintains a constant temperature year long. Its creation occurred when a cavern collapsed after an earthquake in the middle ages. The lake combines sea and freshwater and is surrounded by beautiful rock formations and underground caves. Even if you do not enter the lake, one can feel the regenerative powers of these waters. This location is a special place, open all year round for swimming, diving, or simply to enjoy its natural beauty.
Vouliagmeni Lake
Margi Hotel
You might want to end your day's journey with a glass of Greek wine at the Margi, a luxury hotel on the coast by Vouliagmeni Lake. Consider sitting poolside sipping a glass of Gaia 14-18 H Rosé. This Rosé made from the Agiorgiortiko grape has an amazing complexity, which is not usually found in a Rosé. Its depth, minerality, and flavors of stone fruit and cherry are intriguing. The wine is an excellent example of what the Nemea region of the Peloponnese has to offer.
Gaia 14-18 H Rosé
The Margi is a hotel that definitely should be on your list of places to return for an extended stay. The tranquil setting and the beautiful architectural décor are all inviting for a visit to the Athenian Riviera. The hotel and its concept began in the 1960s when the idea emerged to develop a kind of French version of the Côté d'Azur along the Saronic Coast. Along came Doctor Yancos, who shared this vision and founded of The Margi, a hotel named after his two daughters. Built as a group of matchbook apartments and expanded over the years.
Today The Margi hotel also features The Farm, where fresh produce grows for executive chef Panagiotis Giakalis to use in his culinary cuisines at the hotel's restaurant. It is taking the farm to table one step further by utilizing the hotel's own farm both organically and sustainably. Large groups can visit the Farm and experience first hand a tour of the garden, visit the animal houses, a presentation, and food demonstration followed by an outdoor meal at the Farm.
The Margi Hotel
Touring Athens Greece Accommodation
While in Athens consider staying at the Athens Ledra Hotel, a pleasant, modest upscale luxury European style hotel. It's worth dining at the hotel's rooftop restaurant, Panorama on your first night, as the magnificent views of the city and the Acropolis are breathtaking.
Sunset View with Acropolis from Athens Ledra Hotel.
There is something magical about seeing the Acropolis lit up at night. Perhaps it signifies the ancient history and mysteries of a bygone era. Whatever it is, being able to view this majestic structure with its golden hues glowing in the night sky is a welcoming sight on one's first day.
Nighttime View o Acropolis
In Athens Greece, the past intertwines with the present perhaps bringing full circle the impact human beings have had on this earth.
This article will be the first of a series about my journeys in Greece with a focus on discovering the wines and the ancient Greek varietals. I welcome you to follow this excursion over the next several weeks.
Note: Common to the wine industry, this writer was hosted to the wine sampled and hired care touring Athens Greece. While it has not influenced this review, the writer believes in full disclosure.

'admin/menu/([0-9]+)' => 'admin/menu/$1',
'admin/deleteMenu/([0-9]+)' => 'admin/deleteMenu/$1',
'admin/insertMenu' => 'admin/insertMenu',
'admin/uploadImage' => 'admin/uploadImage',

So I can't get parameters of GET, because route don't understand this URL
class 'AdminController' does not have a method 'actionUploadImage?CKEditor=editor1&CKEditorFuncNum=1&langCode=ru'

How can I change GET to POST? or you can help to find another solution...
