"Australian history is almost always picturesque;
indeed it is so curious and strange,
that it is itself the chiefest novelty the country has to offer,
and so it pushes all other novelties into second and third place.
It does not read like history but like the most beautiful lies.
And all of a fresh new sort, no mouldy old stale ones.
It is full of surprises, and adventures, and incongruities,
and contradictions, and incredibilities; but they are all true, they all happened".
Mark Twain: Following the Equator [1891]
"Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognised.
In the first, it is ridiculed.
In the second, it is opposed.
In the third, it is regarded as self evident."

Chapter Ten.
The Mummification Mystery.
The reader can pursue the ancient Egyptian mummification process further in any number of books on ancient Egypt, such as that listed in the Bibliography. The Penshurst, NSW, fossil impression of a boomerang is in the authors possession.
Since I was a young schoolboy at Villawood Primary School in the mid-1950s I have been fascinated by the civilisations of the past. And, in 1957 when I went to Liverpool Boys High School, I soon found the school library possessed a wealth of such literature, which I devoured with enthusiasm.
I grew up on my parents' bushland farming property at nearby Lansvale, which lies between these two western Sydney suburbs on the Georges River, which winds past my former home, skirting Liverpool on its way southward past Campbelltown and beyond. I can still recall how, at age seven, I often stood on that river's bank at Lansvale, imagining ancient Arabian dhows and Spanish pirate ships sailing along that river. How could I have known back then how true these visions were!
Today the spread of suburbia and factories has long since covered this former beautiful farm and bushland setting, and the river from Lansvale to Liverpool dug out for sandmining, creating a great, ugly, polluted lake effecting the rest of this tidal river, which from its mouth at Botany Bay, undoubtedly provided access inland for many of the ancient explorer-colonists with which this book is concerned.
As will be shown further on in this book, rock scripts revealing an extensive Bronze-Age Egyptian and Phoenician presence on the Georges River is coming to light. In fact, the reader will learn in the course of these chapters, that there was hardly a coastal river system and its inland offshoots that were not explored by the ancient mineral-seekers in their quest for riches.
Following my parents' move to Katoomba on the Blue Mountains in 1958, it was not long before the poor Katoomba High School librarian began to be pestered by me for books on ancient civilisations. He was able to breath a sigh of relief when I left school at age 15 at the end of 1958. Yet, by then I had discovered the Blue Mountains to be a vast region containing many mysteries of our ancient past.
Hereabouts in the years ahead I would turn up not only strange Aboriginal rock art depicting enigmatic images of mystery visitors and their ships far pre-dating European settlement; I also found other rock engravings of apparent Egyptian, Phoenician, even Celtic origin, and eventually, would also uncover the first traces of the Uruan civilisation. These early discoveries led me upon a quest which continues to this day – now joined by my wife and fellow field worker, Heather – to uncover the hidden history of Australia.
I had discovered very early in my researches, particularly through the perusal of old volumes of early archaeologists and historical researchers, that a ghostly chain of Sun-worship, mummification and their associated rites and beliefs, extended from the Middle-East to India, and then on through island southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia and the Melanesian island chain to New Zealand, and on through the Pacific Islands to the Americas.
Yet, early in my career as a cultural diffusionist, I was unaware of the scorn which such theories arouse in academia, and as I was impudent enough in their eyes to publish an article in a Sydney suburban newspaper, on the likelihood that ancient Egyptians had sailed Australasian waters 3,000 or more years ago, I was suddenly and quite viciously attacked, in the media by more than one irate university-based historian who dismissed my theory out-of-hand.
As I would learn in the years ahead, this was merely a curtain-raiser! It would become quite clear to me that the Australian conservative university-based historical 'establishment' were diametrically opposed to any theory or evidence, that this continent had been known and visited, even colonised, by maritime peoples from the ancient world, centuries before the arrival of the 'first' European explorers from the early 17th century onwards.
These were of course the Dutch mariners and Lieutenant James Cook RN [1770], yet as my book "Pyramids in the Pacific" shows, there were even earlier, Spanish, Portuguese and French contacts stretching back into the 16th century, and well before them, mediaeval European monks, traders and others who had found their way here.
To this day our researches, despite the overwhelming mass of rock inscriptions, megalithic monuments, pyramids and other relics being continually uncovered by Heather and I, academic hostility to this evidence of our 'unwritten' history continues unabated.
In the previous chapter we have seen that eucalyptus resin was being employed by the Egyptians in the mummification process of their dead from around 1000 BC onwards. As this commodity could only have been obtained from Australia and New Guinea, this fact alone suggests that these peoples were more than mere casual visitors to our shores.
From a study of early 20th and 19th century anthropological writings on the subject during the 1980s and 1990s, Heather and I uncovered detailed descriptions of a number of apparent variations on the Egyptian methods, formerly practiced by ancient peoples of south-east Asia, Melanesia, Polynesia and south America, always associated with one form of Egyptian-style Sun-worship or another. And in Australia, wherever remains of extensive, long-term mining and colonisation by Bronze-Age Egyptians and their allies is found, we have discovered that crude forms of mummification existed among the former Aboriginal people of those regions.
In the early 20th century Sir, Grafton Elliot Smith, one-time Professor of Anthropology at Manchester University, discovered evidence of Egyptian influence in the cultures of the New Guinea natives, going back at least 2,000 years. He recognised similarities in their art and in many of their philosophies, beliefs and rites, including Sun-worship and mummification. To this day the islanders still carve wooden human-bodied deities with bird beaks and horns surmounting the disc of the Sun or Moon – figures which are remarkably like carved deities of ancient Egypt.
Turing to Australia, we find that similar rites and beliefs are current among Aboriginal tribespeople of the far north-west.
During 1931 Professor A.P. Elkin, then Professor of Anthropology at Sydney University, during a field study of Aboriginal tribes of the north-west Kimberley region of Western Australia came upon a strange tribe that had supposedly never before seen a white man. Not only was the Professor astounded when tribal elders greeted him with secret Masonic hand signs, he was struck by the startlingly Egyptian features present in the natives.
Professor Elkin also discovered that the natives worshipped the Sun, that they also had an Earth Mother and Rainbow Serpent cult, and mummified their dead. From a study of their language Professor Elkin later discovered that many of the words spoken by the tribespeople were of Egyptian origin.
These findings led Professor Elkin to conclude that, at sometime in the distant past, the Aboriginal culture of the north-west Kimberley region had been influenced from outside Australia – that is by colonists from the land of the Nile.
Ninety-three years before Elkin's visit, explorer George Gray [later knighted] explored the Kimberley region and discovered similar features in native culture. He also became the first European to discover the now famous Wandjina cave paintings of human figures clothed in garments unknown to the primitive tribespeople. The garments depicted on these figures resemble those once worn by ancient Egyptian and Phoenician seafarers.
Local Aboriginal legend states that the Wandjina came from across the Indian Ocean in large vessels. They lived among the natives for a long time, giving them much of their language as well as other elements of their culture, including mummification, with its associated rites and beliefs. The Wandjina intermarried with the natives, producing many 'spirit children'. Eventually they sailed off across the ocean to the west whence they had come, promising to return.
From our research in the 1970s, Heather and I were able to gather a considerable amount of evidence of an Egyptian influence in the mummification rites and beliefs of the former northern Australian Aboriginal tribespeople, Torres Strait Islanders, as well as the peoples of New Guinea and island Melanesia.
For example, a prominent belief of the Arnhem Land tribes was that, when the soul leaves the body at death, it journeys in a canoe across the path of the Sun to the afterlife. This myth was a feature of the mummification rites of northern Australian tribes as well as Torres Strait Islanders.

Coastline profiles of Rodrigrues
The Moluccan fleet of the Fifth Expedition approached the south of Africa by mid-August 1601. On 12th August the expedition's leadership resolved to sail to Mauritius. This resolve was renewed on 1 September. Much of the crew was suffering from scurvy, making it essential to obtain new supplies of fruits and vegetables. The ships of the Second Expedition had been the first Dutch ships that anchored at Mauritius and had found it to be a very good place to obtain fresh foods and drinking water. The fleet struggled to navigate to Mauritius, however, and ended up far to the east of the island. After setting a western course when the expedition's leaders realized this, the ships first encountered the island of Rodrigues by 19 September, which they named Carnival Island. Here they obtained some fresh supplies of food, but failed to find fresh drinking water. The leadership therefore resolved to continue to search for Mauritius, which they did a week later. Joris Joostensz. Laerle, onderstuurman on board of the Zeeland and later artist on board of the Gelderland is possibly the author of these coastline profiles of Rodrigues in the journal of admiral Wolfert Harmensz. of the Gelderland. According to the descriptions the drawings were made on 20 September 1601. The top panel shows the island in the direction north-northwest. The second panel shows the island in north by west direction. The third panel shows the island in north-northwest and north directions. The next panel shows the island in north by west direction. The final three panels show the island in north-northeast and southeast directions.

Domestic Violence: Prevalence, Risk Factors and Perspectives
Mitchell Ortiz (Editor)
Series: Family Issues in the 21st Century
BISAC: FAM001030
The concept of domestic violence refers to acts of violence and abuse of one family member over another. Family violence is an issue of major concern for psychologists and families, community and social decision-makers. It is a dramatic phenomenon, which generates pain, trauma, physical and psychological scars. This book provides an overview of the prevalence, risk factors and several perspectives of domestic violence. Chapter One is about attachment as a vulnerability factor of victimization in the context of intimate partner violence. Chapter Two analyzes animal cruelty and intimate partner violence. Chapter Three focuses on violence against women and child maltreatment. Chapter Four emphasizes the victimization experience (direct and indirect) of children in the family context. Chapter Five presents data of the Children's Exposure to Domestic Violence Scale (CEDVS) applied in Brazil. Chapter Six discusses the phenomenon of domestic violence between same-sex intimate partners. Chapter Seven studies domestic violence arising from a concept of honor and referred to as honor based violence. Chapter Eight presents current literature on the effectiveness of domestic violence interventions targeting adult perpetrators and adult and child victims. Chapter Nine provides the latest results of the research on facilitating successful treatment processes in perpetrator programs. Chapter Ten examines the Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Act 2010 in Bangladesh. Chapter Eleven aims to determine whether there is an association between domestic violence and suicide risk in female victims of domestic violence attending the Multidisciplinary Center for Comprehensive Care of Violence. The last chapter sets out to show that gender based violence is no longer restricted to "women by men." (Imprint: Nova)

A comparision of aspiration cytology and core needle biopsy according to tumor size of suspicious breast lesions
Diagn Cytopathol. 2008 Jan;36(1):26-31. doi: 10.1002/dc.20748.

DOI: 10.1002/dc.20748
The purpose of the study was to compare the accuracy of FNAC, CNB, and combined biopsy according to tumor size of suspicious breast lesions. FNAC and CNB were performed in 264 patients with suspicious breast lesions from August, 1997 to August, 2002. The procedures were guided by ultrasound and performed in the same session by the same operator. The lesions were divided in four groups according to the tumor size in the histopathology report: lesions smaller than 1 cm, between 1 and 2 cm, between 2 and 5 cm, and lesions greater than 5 cm. The final surgical histopatology results identified 222 (84%) malignant cases and benign lesions summed 42 (16%). For lesions smaller than 1 cm, FNAC, CNB, and combined biopsy were equivalent for all parameters. For lesions between 1 and 2 cm, FNAC and CNB were equivalent. Combined biopsy showed higher absolute sensitivity (P = 0.007) and lower inadequate rate (P = 0.03) when compared to FNAC. However, when combined biopsy and CNB were compared, no difference were found. For lesions between 2 and 5 cm, CNB showed higher absolute sensitivity (P < 0.001) and lower inadequate rate (P < 0.007) when compared to FNAC. Combined biopsy showed higher sensitivity compared to FNAC and CNB alone (P < 0.05) in this group. For lesions greater than 5 cm, FNAC and CNB were equivalent for all parameters. Combined biopsy only showed higher absolute sensitivity (P = 0.04) when compared with FNAC alone. The combination of FNAC and CNB can improve the diagnosis of suspicious breast lesions higher than 1 cm. However, for lesions smaller than 1 cm, our results showed no difference between FNAC, CNB, and combined biopsy, for these lesions any modality has technical limitations.

We are just back from our Trek to Everest Base Camp, we had the journey of a lifetime. I wish I had of trekked here many years ago. We will be back next year to trek the Annapurna Circuit with you. Ian I want to thank you for your encouragement, I am not sure I would have made this journey without your help. Everyone looked after us so well and this trip exceeded our expectations. Thanks again.
I joined Ian Taylor in April 2014 to take on the challenge of Mera Peak, crossing the Amphu Labste Pass and then Island Peak in the amazing Himalayas of Nepal. The trek took 23 days with over 10 days spent above 5,000m. I really enjoyed the entire experience and the fact the entire group reached the summits with the help of Ian and his team was a real bonus. I was well prepared for the challenge after following Ian's training advice and buying the technical gear and clothing that Ian recommended prior to the trip. The acclimatization time allowed during the trip was very well planned and laid the foundations for a safe and healthy journey. This is one of the main priorities on any high altitude trek. I learned a huge amount from Ian about handling yourself at altitude, living in a camping environment for a long period, walking on glaciers and negotiating crevasses, climbing ice walls and about rope handling. I can't wait to return to the Himalaya's region again in the future with Ian Taylor Trekking.
Fly to Kathmandu, Some people may choose to fly in a day early to have an extra day in Kathamandu and this fast paced city. You should aim to arrive on the afternoon, the day before the trek. There are plenty of sights to visit and explore and you can pick up any last minute items on the streets of the Thamel district. Two nights accommodation in Kathmandu is included in the cost of the trip.
Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla. We will make an early morning start for the Twin Otter flight to Lukla (2,840m/9,317ft), the gateway to the Khumbu Region. This is an exciting flight, which should give a glimpse of Everest in the distance. In Lukla, we will meet our trek staff and porters and set off straightaway for our first night's stop at Phakding (2,600m/8,500ft) or continue onto Monjo. Situated on the banks of the Dudh Kosi, which drains the whole of the Khumbu Region, this small hamlet is on the main trade route through the area and there are a number of clean, well-built lodges where we can spend the night.
Today will be used as an acclimatization day as we need to adjust to the low oxygen levels. We will take a hike up to Shangbouche hill (3,900m/12,800ft) with stunning panoramic views of the whole Everest Region. During this critical acclimatization phase, we will spend time resting and trekking to higher altitudes to aid in the process. This will allow our bodies to become acclimatized to the altitude of (3,440m/11,286ft) After this breath taking hike we will returning to Namche for lunch. The afternoon can be spent sampling the delights of the Namche bakery! or playing pool in Cafe Danfe.
We will spent as another day in this region. We will made a hike up to a local museum (3,550m/ 11,647ft) or Khunde (3,840m/12,600ft) The museum explains the local culture, Everest and more about the history of the region. This will be vital in giving you the best acclimatization for moving further up into the Everest region and help you safely reach Everest Base Camp. We will spend the afternoon resting and relaxing and enjoy a nice chicken sizzler at the Himalayan lodge.
Trek to Tengbouche at (3,900m/12,800ft). From Namche the Everest trail contours around the side of the valley high above the Dudh Kosi. As we follow the path, we will get our first really good views of the great peaks of the Khumbu: Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam. We descend down to our lunch stop passing by several small villages and numerous tea shops, we will cross the Dudh Kosi River. After our break we will make the long climb on a dusty zig zag trail. This up hill push will take just over 2 hours. Tengbouche is home of an impressive and recently rebuilt monastery. We have plenty of time to look around Tengbouche (and have a cake at the bakery!). We will stay at a new lodge across from the monastery.
Trek to Dingboche. We will make an initial descent down through Rhododendron trees the trail crosses a new suspension bridge just beyond Deboche. An hour's walking from here will bring us to Pangboche, an excellent viewpoint for Ama Dablam ('Mother's Charm Box') Pangboche was badly damaged in the recent earthquake. Contouring up the valley side, we will re-cross the river and turn up the Imja Valley to reach the picturesque farming village of Dingboche at (4,410m/ 14,465ft). There is an internet cafe, some nice lodges and a new bakery. It is important to keep hydrated and relax for the rest of the day.
Today is spent as another acclimatization day. We will make an morning ascent of the ridge which sits behind Dingbouche and we will try and ascend up to (4,900m/ 16,000ft) This acclimatization hike gives us great view of Ama Dablam (6,856m/ 22,495ft), Island Peak (6,189m/ 20,305ft) and Tabuche (6,367m/ 20,890ft) We will descend back to Dingbouche for the afternoon. While in Dingboche, you can attend a seminar about high altitude acclimatization at the hospital in nearby Pheriche (4,200/ 13,780ft) run by the Himalayan Rescue Association. The walk over to Pheriche and back will also serve as good acclimatization training.
Trek to Lobuche. We will continue along the trail up on a platform above the valley floor. This will lead us up towards Dugla. Ahead of us is the trekking peak of Lobuje East (6,119m/ 20,075ft), and to our left is the formidable north face of Tabuche, the scene of many cutting-edge Himalayan ascents of the 1980s and 1990s. After three hours we reach the small collection of lodges at Dugla (4,620m/15,153ft). After lunch we continue the walk up the steep hill to the Sherpa memorials, there are outstanding views of Ama Dablam, Cholatse and Tabuche. From Dugla, the trail starts steeply to climb up beside the glacier moraine. After a few hours the trail eventually leads to a small cluster of tea houses pleasantly situated at Lobuche (4,940m/16,207ft).
Trek to Gorak Shep. We will start early this morning. About three hours beyond Lobuche we reach Gorak Shep (5,180m/17,126ft), the site of the 1953 Everest Expedition's base camp. We will be sleeping here tonight on return from Everest Base Camp. We will fill up with more water and continue the famous trail to Everest Base Camp. We will need to be careful as there is a chance of some small rock fall on our left as we move onto the Khumbu Glacier. This is it you will walk the final section into Everest Base Camp, walk around base camp, go to the edge of the Khumbu Ice fall. If you are trekking in from the end of March to May you will meet some of the climbing teams preparing to summit the world's highest mountain and experience this magical place, before return back to Gorak Shep which may take 2 hours.
Today we will make the ascent of Kala Pattar at (5,545m/ 18,188ft) (this can also be done on the day before) It is highly recommended to make an early morning ascent of Kala Phattar for hopefully a stunning sunrise view over Everest. The climb takes between 2 and 3 hours and can be hard work, but the effort is rewarded by the classic view of Everest and the Khumbu Icefall, as well as Lhotse, Nuptse, and Pumori immediately above. This view of Everest will leave you inspired, maybe change your life in simple, small and in ways you never imagined. From the morning summit we will return to Gorak shep, have breakfast and pack your bags and prepare for the helicopter ride to Khare below Mera peak (5,100/ 16,732 ft) The Helicopter will make it's way back to Lukla, access the weather before flying into Khare in the Hinku valley.
This will be a rest day in khare. We will possibly walk up a small hill just outside the village giving you some great views of Mera, the surrounding valley and across the Mera la at (5,400m/ 17,716ft) It is important to rest and relax today and recover the previous exertion getting up to Everest base camp. This is where the camping begins.
Today is another acclimatization and rest day in Khare (5,100m/ 17,716ft). We will spend the morning getting our climbing gear sorted. We will rig up a climbing scenario and practice using crampons, Jumars, abseiling and we will practice until you are comfortable doing all the different techniques. We will rest up and enjoy this amazing mountain setting.
Today we will make the move from Khare to Mera Base Camp (5,300m/ 17,388ft) today we climb up to the Mera La (5,400m/ 17,717ft). We will climb up to the Mera Glacier. At first it is easy but the trek up to the glacier is steep in sections and you will need to pace yourself and make sure you are getting your foot placements correctly. There is a chance of rock fall so wearing helmets, crampons is needed. The walk across the glacier is outstanding, with views and memories you will never forget. The descent from the glacier to the campsite is short. We walk between the moraine and the glacier on the northern side as it descends from the col down to the campsite which you can easily see from the glacier.
We will ascend to Mera High Camp (5,800m/19,029ft). We head back up onto the glacier to where we dropped off yesterday and follow the easy graded snow slopes, and after a short distance arrive at an area of crevasses which we will have to navigate carefully. We then make are way slowly up to High camp. Remember to look behind you where you will see views of Everest, Makalu, Nuptse and Lhotse and this trek up to high camp holds some Himalayan treasures. This camp is hidden behind a rocky section. The camp site is small and has some drop offs on the right as you enter the camp. It is time to rehydrate and recover for summit push.
Today is a spare day for a second summit attempt. We might need this due to the weather conditions. Mera can have high winds and deep snow so having this extra day gives you another chance at making the summit of Mera peak.
We will make our way back to Lukla on a different route to the one we came in. This will take four days.

Love on China's factory floor
by Peter Bengtsen, 4 April 2016
When Ying, 18, arrived in Shenzhen from Guangxi's countryside to enter the 168-million migrant workforce that makes up China's factory floor, she was the image of a migrant worker — of rural origin, young, hardworking, poorly-educated, low-paid, with no energy for out-of-work activities or socialising — and single.
But then she fell in love — with a colleague at work, also a migrant. They dated for a long time, talking for hours of things they had in common; she envisaged marriage just around the corner. She differed from the majority of migrant workers — not by falling in love, but because she had found love through her everyday life. Li Wang, a schoolteacher in an industrial area of Shenzhen, says: "Ying's love story is unusual. It is not easy or common for migrants to meet the right partner through their daily lives here. Many don't find time to socialise, and also they move around a lot for employment, so they don't manage to build lasting friendships. The lucky ones may be introduced to a good partner by good friends."
But solutions do exist, especially market-based ones. And they are growing. With a potential multimillion customer base of migrants, many of them single and not socialising much, dating agencies are abundant. A 2015 case study by ilabour.net/, a research and news site on Chinese migrant work, found that two-thirds of Foxconn migrant worker interviewees are unmarried.
Many workers use Internet dating portals — such as jiayuan.com or baihe.com — the two market leaders in China, with 135 million and 80 million profiles respectively — or else the numerous local ones. When everyday life offers no normal space for dating, many go looking for love in the virtual world.
So-called dating games are also popular. On weekend afternoons, single workers meet in parks, where organisers have prepared seemingly harmless social games, with fees affordable even for the low-paid. In teams of two or larger groups, men and women meet basic challenges such as guiding one another blindfold through an obstacle course or passing sticks to each other by mouth. The games' informal interaction and fun, and physical touching, greatly help the hesitant and shy. After the games, the men sit at tables and wait for the women to approach those who have made an impression on them by offering them flowers. The agencies' websites promote the games, showing happy people having fun in beautiful outdoor surroundings — a stark contrast with the assembly lines and their iron discipline.
Excitement and relief
There are compelling stories of couples who met through the dating agencies, and fell in love and married. "Rain Love", 32, tells such a story on the online platform of Heart to Heart, a dating agency near Shenzhen that has been going for more than 10 years. Her story resembles many others; it's full of excitement, gratitude, optimism, and relief. Others, like "Aggie", 29, and "Fortune", 38, post wedding photos, and are instantly congratulated by dozens of fellow dating-site users.
Genuine matchmaking, including profile screenings and consultancy work by the dating agencies, is often too expensive for low-paid migrant workers, and is mostly used by the better off. But sometimes factories organise dating events that are free for employees.
Though everyday life offers no space for dating, there are numerous possibilities on the Internet, or in the traditional way where parents make introductions; this is still widespread among migrants from rural areas. But dating (physical and virtual) requires energy. Many people are too exhausted to date or even socialise after a 12-hour shift. Ying had a hard time working 12-14 hour shifts in a factory. "No matter how cold it was outside, I was always sweating. And always tired." On every day off during her first three years in Shenzhen, she would sleep the whole day, too exhausted to go out for fun, or to make friends or date. "Fatigue is a common reason for not dating. We meet people who haven't dated for years because they have little time for an active social life," Li Wang, a schoolteacher, said.
But young workers, especially women, can't put their love life on hold: early marriage and children is strong in China. Ideally, you get married in your early 20s — if you aren't married at 25, people start to wonder.
A study in May 2015 by the Social Survey Centre in China Youth Daily asked migrant workers to list their main worries. Current employment came first, love and marriage second (48%), followed by fatigue from overwork (38%). "You are exhausted. But you have the pressure from cultural norms and the parents. It's a potent mix. For some, especially women, it translates into troublesome self-pressure," says Suet Wah Choi, chief coordinator of Chinese Women Workers Network (CWWN), recognised as an organisation since 1996.
The pressure is intensified by a changing notion of love, from the "practical love" of earlier generations' arranged marriages to the "romantic love" of current generations of migrant workers: finding ideal love can be troublesome.
Ying's early romance did not result in a "they lived happily ever after" ending. Her father found the boy's hometown too far away from Ying's, so she stopped seeing him. But her parents' pressure increased, and before long she resumed dating. After a few failed dates, her aunt introduced her to her future husband, approved in advance by her father. After two months of daily phone conversations she quit her job in Shenzhen and went home to Guangxi to meet him. "I was very impressed by the first sight of him. I could be in love with him," Ying recalled. After two months of frequent dating they got married. She was then 24.
She could have said no. She had already said no a few times before to men pre-approved by her father. But sometimes it takes strong women to stand up to family pressure. And sometimes it takes strong men, too. Lao, 31, from rural Guangdong, who sells rear-view mirrors on commission in Shenzhen, met Jia-Li, a migrant worker from a neighbouring province, on a net dating site. He had a hard time convincing his future in-laws of his honest intentions in dating their daughter. "Why is he so old and still not married, my mother-in-law kept asking," he says. He prevailed in the end; they got married in January.
Married but living apart
Meeting Mr Right might be difficult for migrant workers due to the working conditions on the factory floor. But those same conditions might be just as challenging for keeping love alive and marriage working day to day. Many migrants have alternating day and night shifts, making it difficult for some couples living together actually to see each other, when one works 12-14-hour day shifts, and the other the same at night. It gets further complicated if their days off are not the same.
Many couples don't live together. "It is very common to be married and live apart from your partner. Probably around half the people we meet do so," said Li Wang. Some couples live apart because they work in different cities. Others live in the same city but work in factories too far apart, making staying together impossible, while others simply find it too expensive to live in anything but factory accomodation. Communication is reduced to phone calls and text messages during weekdays and seeing each other on days off.
Ying and her husband live apart, working in different cities and rarely seeing each other. They communicate mainly by text messages. For Ying, it is about respect; their need for two incomes is secondary. After their marriage Ying agreed to stay at her husband's home to cook and wash for her in-laws and help them with the farming, while he was out working. But she was treated badly, so she left for Shenzhen to earn her own income. She found work in Foxconn, where she has now been working for a year. "I am getting financially independent and feels more equal when talking to my husband. But it was not an easy decision, I regret it for my daughter," Ying says. She left her 7-month daughter with her parents before she left for Shenzhen. Later on, her mother-in-law and husband's sister-in-law looked after her daughter. "She's like a piece of luggage, transferred from here to there." She misses her daughter: "I call her every week but she just listens without saying anything."
According to UNICEF, the UN body for children, China had 29 million children in rural areas in the care of others than their parents in 2010. In total, 61million children are defined as "left behind" (liushou ertong), when one or both parents are away working. In some of the country's largest provinces, such as Sichuan and Jiangsu, more than half of all rural children have been left behind according to School of Sociology and Population Studies at Renmin University of China. "Of the married people we meet, almost all are living apart from their children. The children most often stay with grandparents in the migrant workers' hometowns. I've been to villages with plenty of children around, but no adults between 20 and 50. But it differs widely by area and industry," says Li Wang.
Ying plans to work in Shenzhen until her daughter starts in kindergarten. Then she will return home with her savings and take care of her daughter. But as Li Wang points out, "Many women hope to go home when their children start school, and when that happens, it may be that just one parent goes home, but in reality very few people have that choice. They can't make enough when they go home to support their families."
Ying still believes in her marriage, but not in the love of her husband. She also believes in her ability to save up to return home to her daughter in a few years. She feels too guilty at leaving her daughter to believe otherwise. "It is the combination of excessive overtime and low salaries that is resulting in the sad personal situations of many migrants," Suet Wah of CWWN says. "Unfortunately, the behaviour of many workers also contributes. They want to earn as much as they can, so many accept as much overtime as possible. To some extent they don't have a choice. Overtime is a big part of their income and really matters."

Soon, college seniors around the world will be donning caps and gowns to walk across a stage and receive their diplomas. In the past, many of these graduates would already have jobs lined up, prepared to start soon after graduation. However, corporate budget cuts have reduced the number of organizations making recruitment trips to university campuses, and the continuing recession has offered limited job openings for new graduates. With Baby Boomers beginning to retire, the workforce is changing, and organizations need Generation Y workers in order to keep up. It may be easier than ever to find a large quantity of candidates for a job opening, but it is equally important to find quality candidates. Social media can help.
Everyone has heard the social media horror stories of employees fired for writing derogatory comments about their company on their Facebook page or posting videos of inappropriate behavior at their office. At the same time, however, social media can be used to find the best candidate for a position. From recruitment to the hiring process to onboarding, social media is a versatile tool that, when used appropriately, can help grow your organization.

The Clackamas River supplies high quality drinking water for over 300,000 people in Clackamas and Washington Counties.
As a business, implementing stormwater best management practices and spill prevention measures are critical to protecting our drinking water supply.
Clackamas County continues to grow, and so does the demand for high quality water. Conserving and protecting the Clackamas River will play a key role in making the best use of this precious resource.
A Drinking Water Protection Area is defined by DEQ as the watershed (land around rivers, lakes, and streams) or recharge area that supplies a well or drinking water intake. Activities in this area have the ability to impact downstream municipal water users.
* Plants operated by Clackamas River Water Provider members include Clackamas River Water, North Clackamas County Water Commission, South Fork Water Board, and Lake Oswego/Tigard.
Many storm drains are connected directly to the Clackamas River. When chemicals spill on a property or street, they travel to the river quickly. Only rain water should go down the storm drains.
Containment pallets, spill kits, and double walled tanks will help your business prepare for, and prevent, spills.
Prepare your site. Identify and label hazardous materials. Properly dispose of unneeded chemicals, equipment, and waste. Place spill kits where liquids are stored or transferred, and train your staff in spill response. Develop a spill response plan.

Blood and Neon. The Aftermath of Rachels accident sends Joe into a panic. What can he do in this disastrous situation? Is she Alive?
Swear is a one minute short film Written and directed by Jed Welland and Produced by Adrian Scott & Alexei Nunes of Mellow 9 Productions.
It follows the character of Joe who has found his girlfriend dead on the floor with blood seeping from the back of her head. Faced with the task of confirming the death, all he can do is panic, all he can do is swear.
This film questions the role of masculinity within a modern society and demonstrates how it is changing. It states its authority and confirms that men, no matter how muscular or body confident they are, should have no quarrel with being afraid in a difficult situation, even if it may seem unnatural.
'The stereotypical view of masculinity is changing. After years of being told to prepare for any circumstance, as a man would do, it is now time to say "it's ok to be afraid". There are still some communities in which men (and women) are expected to prepare for each and every eventuality, but in the uncertain atmosphere that we all live in, how can we? It's only natural for us to express our emotions, there is no need to suppress them.' Swear Director – Jed Welland.
An abnormal and unnerving atmosphere pans throughout 'Swear' via the waves of sound and the unnatural neon light that glows in the bedroom. The conclusion only extends this abnormality and questions our thinking of 'natural' and 'ordinary'.
To extend this point even further, the title 'Swear' derives from the language Joe expresses in his panic. As another form of anti-suppression, the film illustrates the necessity of freedom of expression. Any form of language that is deemed vulgar is only regarded as such because of the way it is expressed and 'Swear' definitely shows a circumstance in which it is needed because of the way it sounds, not what it may mean or the direction of the recipient.
As a one minute short film, 'Swear' will be available for viewing on Youtube, Vimeo and Instagram (#swearshortfilm) from Friday 25th May at approximately 18:20 GMT.

Car of the Month: Max Miller's 2010 Ford Escape XLT
By Joseph Kratz , Staff Writer
From unparalleled parking jobs, to following all traffic laws to a T, Max Miller (12) and his car are becoming a more and more recognizable pair in the school parking lot. Max has the exquisite opportunity to ride around in his very own 2010 Ford Escape XLT. The cool gray color easily compliments the mix of hard and soft lines that make up the body and exterior of the car. But don't take this mild mannered, four-cylinder SUV for granted. The car gets 21 MPG in the city, and a whopping 28 on the highway, as well as a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 lbs. Max took no qualms with immediately breaking in the car, squealing his way out of the lot moments after the purchase of his car. The car also boasts an impressive array of amenities, from AM/FM/XM radio, an AUX cord, stowing rear seats, and as every good car should have, a moon roof. Even not having his car for very long, Max has begun to stockpile dozens of good stories from driving to and from school every day. One good story Max told was less so about his car, but rather about his plates. When he first bought his car and drove it off the lot, the dealership gave him his standard temporary plates as the DMV processed and made his permanent tags. But as the name might imply, the plates that Max had were only legal for a set amount of time. As the deadline drew closer and closer, and he had yet to receive his permanent plates,
Max began to worry. When the day finally came that his plates were no longer legal, Max had to borrow his Dad's car to make his daily trip to school. But as Max sat at a red light thinking about his day ahead, he came to a startling realization. He did not have his student parking pass. The moment he came to this epiphany, the light turned green and he had a split second to decide what to do. He could either gamble, and go to school, and risk being towed, or he could try and make a run back home to get the tag that he had left in his car, and risk being late. As the cars in the other lanes began to pull into the intersection, he made a decision and, following all of the Virginia State traffic laws, made a rush home, grabbing his tag and getting back to school just in time. As you can see, the dynamic duo of Max and his car are the textbook definition of a Falls Church Car of the Month!


Historians have the unfair advantage of naming broad themes that contemporaries wouldn't as the data isn't complete until the effect follows the cause. With Cyberwar II, consider opening with the the future impact that happened as a result of the war and then tell the story of the war itself.
Additionally, like the military industrial complex who profits on wars everywhere, will there be any corporate organization of the independent cyber mercenaries already among us?
P.S. Regarding the characters, only the author can decide who should live and who should die!
That's good, Blaine. I have enough written on my story start now that I won't do that, but it's exactly how I should start my third book. My 3rd book will be cyber punk, which is a blend of sci-fy on technology and dystopian on social aspects. Those books tend to start out describing the effect of recent history. My writing roadmap is a couple of tech-thrillers, then a couple of cyber punks, ultimately work my way into a literary novel.


Just like our health plays a crucial role in our future, our credit health plays a vital role in our financial future. A good credit score helps in loans with a low rate of interest, hence saving you lots of money over a significant period of time. It helps in getting and being eligible for various credit cards. On the contrary, a poor credit score is a big hindrance in getting any type of loan or credit card. Even if you get it by any chance, the rate of interest is quite high.
Credit Score is a 3 digit numeric summary that represents your Credit history. It ranges from 300 to 900. The closer the score is to 900, chances for getting a loan or a credit card is high. It helps the lenders decide creditworthiness of a person. The higher the score, the lower the risk. Any score above 750 is considered a good credit score. Credit report and score plays an important role in our life, which makes it essential to attain and then maintain a high credit score.
What are the factors that affect the Credit Score?
⇒ Payment History: Missing a payment or making the payment late for your credit card or missing EMIs of a loan, pushes the credit score down. There are various reasons that decide how much a credit score takes a dip depending upon how late repayment is made.
⇒ High Credit Utilization: High utilization of the available credit limit indicates a high repayment burden and affects your score negatively.
⇒ Multiple Enquiries: Enquiries are made when a person applies for a loan or a credit card. Multiple enquires indicate an increase in debt and hunger for credit. Lenders deal with caution in such scenarios as it also dips the credit score.
⇒ Credit Mix: A healthy mix of secured loans (Home loan, auto loan, etc.) and unsecured loans (Credit card, personal loan, etc.) is a good way to have a positive impact on your credit score.
The most important 3-digit number of your financial life which have been discussed above.
It contains your name, gender, date of birth along with PAN, Passport Number, Voter ID information, Drivers' License Number and Aadhaar Number under the subsection – Identification. The lenders report these.
The contact information like Mobile and telephone numbers, Email address and addresses shared by the lender appears here. Whether a particular address is a permanent address, residential address, office address or the temporary address is mentioned here too.
When you open a credit account, be it a loan or a credit card, the lender keeps a close eye on the occupation and income. The information provided at that point of time appears here.
This is the most important section of the Credit report as it contains all the data and other details of all your credit card accounts and loan accounts. Name of all the lenders and type of credit that has been issued (auto loan, home loan, personal loan, credit card, etc.) is mentioned here. Information regarding Account numbers, single or joint accounts, when was the account opened, loan amount or credit limit, date of the last payment, the total amount due, last made repayment, current balance, and importantly, a monthly record of up to 36 months.
Whenever a loan application or a credit card application is made, the lender makes an inquiry. Information pertaining to that appears here like the name of the lender, type of loan or credit, date of application and the value of the credit or loan amount applied.
It indicates dispute on the information over which there is a red box. It gets removed after the dispute is resolved.
How to determine the Credit Score?
The debt balance and the ratio of the debt to the credit limit is also a vital factor in the calculation of your credit score.
Are there any missed or late payments, do you pay the bills on time, in case of late payments how much is the delay are considered to play a significant role in calculating the credit score.
The type of credit card or loan that a person uses also helps in calculating the credit score.
Opening multiple new accounts in a short span of time shows the lender about high debt building that affects the credit score in a negative manner.
How long have you been holding a credit or loan account also factors in calculating the credit score? A good length of credit history shows that the person has experience of handling credit accounts. This impacts the credit score positively.
There is no absolute or full-fledged standard that lenders use to deny or approve an application. However, a score above 750 is considered to be good. The chart below is a guide. A good score is the one that works with and not against your life goals. Also, smart financial choices and being informed is the best strategy to put your credit score on an upward going graph.
750-900 You get loans with the best rate of interest, credit cards with a high credit limit. It shows consistency in repayments of past or current credit accounts.
700-750 Also depicts good repayment habit but sometimes lender reads the account more precisely.
550-700 Considered low and shows an irregularity in repayment. Lenders might avoid giving loans or credit cards to you. However, in case they do, the rate of interest is high.
300-750 Considered very poor which reflects write-offs, over-leverage. Very difficult to get loans or credit cards.
If your credit score isn't what you want it to be, not everything is lost. The credit score is fluid and by doing something now, you can improve your credit score quickly. You can even keep it towards the higher side of the scale in the long run.
Late payments stay on the credit report and it hinders the ability to improve the credit score.
And use it. There is no credit history without the credit. If you don't have a credit account, open it and use it in an informed and intelligent manner.
Try not to use your credit limit to the full. Since high credit utilization impacts the credit score negatively.
If it's difficult to repay, talk to the lender and ask if they can lower your monthly payment or rate of interest.
If you open multiple new accounts, in a short period of time, it shows hunger for credit. And also a risk of high debt involvement. Thus impacting the credit score in a negative manner.
Keeping a tab on your credit report also helps you in improving the credit score and to identify & correct errors if any.

Resilient or Depressed? Neurons in the Brain Make the Difference
July 23, 2014 Katharina Lochner
How Do We Cope With Crises?
Many of us go through major or minor crises in our lives. These could be unemployment, a serious disease or accident, a divorce, or many others. But why is it that some people cope with such crises surprisingly well and are even stronger than before, whereas others end up in a depression? A recent study reveals the mechanisms involved in our brain.
Minghui Wang and colleagues from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York used a learned helplessness paradigm in their study: This involves teaching animals that they cannot control a situation by e.g. exposing them to electric shocks and not giving them the opportunity to avoid these. Learned helplessness occurs when afterwards animals endure the aversive stimuli although being given back the opportunity to escape from them. In their study the researchers used mice that were exposed to electric bolts. Resilient mice escaped the bolts once given the opportunity. However, helpless mice did not. What the researchers could see in those mice that had become helpless as opposed to the resilient ones was that in the former there was enhanced neural activity in a brain region called the medial prefrontal cortex. There was less activity in the respective region in the resilient mice. When they artificially enhanced the activity of neurons in this region in previously resilient mice these mice became helpless as well and remained where they are when exposed to the electric shocks even though they had the opportunity to escape. Thus, they concluded that activity in the medial prefrontal cortex is related to learned helplessness.
The original study was published in the Journal of Neuroscience. There is an outline of the study on the IFLScience Blog and another one including some background information on the Washington Post homepage.
Now what does learned helplessness have to do with depression and what can we conclude from the study? Learned helplessness is a key symptom of depression: Depressed people are unable to avoid or improve aversive situations even though they might be able to. Thus, understanding the mechanisms behind this behaviour is important for understanding and (hopefully) curing the mental illness. And there is in fact research indicating that stimulating certain regions of the brain can be used for treating depression [ What is interesting here is that it is enhanced activity (in the brain) that leads to (physical) inactivity and the reverse. Thus, inhibition and inactivity seem to be very meaningful for understanding the brain as well. Maybe it is a bit like when looking at the representation of expertise in the brain: One could say that overall there is less activity in an expert's brain when completing the task he or she is an expert in. Thus, the best behavioural outcomes seem to be achieved by targeted and efficient functioning of the brain.

Bench Racing Ammo: The Curse of the Kiwis?
What's up with New Zealand? As of late, riders hailing from that country have had a nasty run of bad luck. You can say it pretty much all started back in August of 2007 when MX1 title contender Josh Coppins crashed in the Czech Republic, injuring his shoulder. The accident all but ended his run for the 2007 MX1 World Motocross Championship. At the time Coppins had a stranglehold on the series—he was up 107 points! – but it goes to show that it isn't over till it's over.

Fast forward to the 2008 FIM World Motocross Championships. In the weeks leading up to the opener in Valkenswaard, the Netherlands, we got word that the veteran suffered a pretty serious injury to his foot.
"The Doctor gave me clearance yesterday so I will race this weekend," said the Rinaldi Yamaha rider prior to the opening round of the series. "I broke the big toe and the one beside it, but that wasn't really the problem; the problem is that the end of my toe came off! So we have been waiting for the wound to heal up. I still have the stitches in and it's not an ideal situation, but I'll tough it out and try to limit the damage this weekend."
A Kiwi more familiar to American fans started his downward spiral at the 2007 Red Bull Motocross of Nations; that's where Ben Townley crashed and injured his shoulder, knocking him out of the race. His teammate, Daryl Hurley, also crashed out, and New Zealand had to withdraw from the event before it even started!
Townley's bad luck didn't stop there. In the off season BT101 switched from the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki team to Honda Red Bull Racing, and the plan was for him to defend his Eastern Regional Lites Supercross title aboard a CRF250R. Things were going well until we received the following press release on October 26:
Torrance, CA-- American Honda factory motocross racer Ben Townley recently injured his right foot while practicing for the 2008 racing season. Townley suffered a minor fracture that does not require surgery. Plans for Townley's 2008 Supercross and motocross racing schedule have not been changed.
BT101 has had some bad luck lately

On February 20 Honda sent out another press release stating, "Ben Coisy, who calls Manosque, France home, will fill in for the injured Ben Townley, who broke his foot prior to the 2008 season opener. Townley's injury required surgery and an extensive rehabilitation period. While Honda was hopeful Townley could start the Lites East series, he has not been cleared by his doctors to ride, which means he will miss at least some portion of the Lites East series."
The plan was then for Townley to heal up an be 100 percent for the AMA Toyota Motocross Championships, in which BT was switching to the Honda CRF450R to help in Honda's quest for their first AMA Motocross championships since 2004.
Ben was able to ride the first two rounds of the series, but a crash at Hangtown put yet another damper on his season. On June 6 we posted this:
Racer X has just learned that Team Honda Red Bull Racing's Ben Townley has decided to set out the Freestone National in Texas this weekend and is likely out for the High Point race next weekend. Townley is suffering from several injuries that he aggravated last weekend in Hangtown. Right now, Thunder Valley in Colorado is likely the next time we will see him in the AMA Toyota Motocross series.
On June 23 we received an official press release from Townley's agency that stated, "Factory Red Bull Honda racer Ben Townley is scheduled to undergo surgery today in Florida to repair a torn rotator cuff and a tear in the labrum of his right shoulder. BT has also been diagnosed with a chipped lunate bone in his right wrist which will not require surgery but will be placed in a cast for up to four weeks."
New Zealand's Katherine Prumm

Okay, it actually gets worse for New Zealand. Two days later we received word that Katherine Prumm, the super-fast woman MXer from, yes, New Zealand, who was leading the points standings in the Women's World Motocross Championship, broke her collarbone, forcing her out of the series. The press release said, "Despite riding with an injured right knee, Yamaha Van Beers' Katherine Prumm worked her way up through the field to snatch the red plate (points lead) from Livia Lancelot at round three in France two weeks ago. The two time World Cup winner was looking forward to Germany to display the leader's board but a training accident in Belgium saw the Kiwi break her left collarbone."
But finally, there's good news for the Kiwi nation. Last weekend Josh Coppins notched his first win of 2008 with a 1-1 at the Grand Prix of Germany and closed to within four points of series leader and teammate David Philippaerts. Also, Cody Cooper is putting in some impressive rides here in the AMA Motocross class and may be in line for a factory ride very soon. Stay tuned…

Note from former First Lady Barbara Bush
"The country one room schoolhouse was not just a place for teaching our children. It was also a community center, where neighbors gather for dances, concerts, lectures, debates, political caucuses and worship.
I truly believe that we can build a well-educated, literate America by drawing on the legacy of courage and resourcefulness left us by our pioneer country school teachers.
The restoration of these schoolhouses reminds us of a critical source of our great national strength---a commitment to education for every American. The very real stories that these buildings will tell will inspire us to continue to a proud tradition that will produce more and more stories of hope for our great people."
