Queensland is renowned for its coal and mineral resources. In addition to these natural resources, Queensland has developed superior mining technology and skilled personnel making it a world leader in mining resources and the industrial biotechnology that utilises these resources23. The industry has "a worldwide reputation for providing solutions to the global mining industry using technologies such as robotics, satellite imaging, and 3D visualisation"145.

"Biotechnology has many potential applications in the mining industry including metal leaching, metal recovery, impurity removal and product upgrading, treatment of acid rock drainage and other uses for environmental control"146. Biomining "has developed into a successful and expanding area of biotechnology"147.

However, with demands for countries to reduce their carbon emissions and investigate more sustainable energy sources, the industry is looking at research and development to establish new low emission coal technology108.

Queensland researchers are currently "developing new clean coal power generation technologies" using industrial biotechnology applications145 with the hope that they will "increase the productivity of the minerals industry and reduce its environmental footprint, both in Australia and globally"148. The University of Queensland’s Sustainable Minerals Institute is one organisation committed to addressing the issue of sustainable development of the mining industry across a range of areas including "mining, mineral processing, water, communities, risk and environment"149.

Lyme Disease in Australia

2017 Christmas Raffle WINNER!!

Congratulations Helen Duley (QLD) - Ticket #166!  Drawn 4pm WA time on December 24th.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported our raffle.  We're deeply appreciative of your support for Australian Lyme patients.

LDAA Analysis of Dr Wills' Thesis

In November 2017, the LDAA ensured the 1995 thesis of Dr Michelle Wills became publicly available. Now, the LDAA has analysed the thesis, to present you with the key information.

LDAA Statement to Government response

The Department’s response is grossly inadequate and completely ignores the responsibility of the Government in its role to protect the health of all Australians. This is a failure of leadership and must be remediated as a matter of urgency.
LDAA statement to Government response

NHMRC News Update

The NHMRC Advisory Committee for Research into Debilitating Symptom Complexes Attributed to Ticks now has a webpage portal to follow the progress.

Lyme Natural Launch - Amina Eastham-Hillier ND

One of our favourite ND's, Amina Eastham-Hillier, has recently launched a new book entitled Lyme Natural: A Handbook for Naturopaths, General Practitioners and Patients.

The book covers a variety of topics from Lyme disease to Mould Illness, with a particular focus on natural protocols.

Grab a copy of Amina's book now - it is well worth the read!

Thermomix WINNER!!

Congratulations Peter Murdoch!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported our raffle.  We're deeply appreciative of your support for Australian Lyme patients.

Murdoch Pilot Study update

We'd like to thank all the 60 or more 'early adopters' who have already completed their forms and had their samples sent in to the research project.  We acknowledge that there's a bit of effort involved and we're appreciative of the contribution to the cause.

The early submitters have assisted in the clarification of procedures and the Murdoch team have updated their website.    The requirements for taking part in the pilot study remain unchanged - that is that patients must have a known tick bite and a positive result from any lab for any tick borne disease.  You are still able to send your samples if you don't remember a tick bite, but those samples will not be included in the pilot and will be securely stored for future testing.

Unfortunately, volunteers from some states are restricted from participating due to limited availability of blood transportation from some states. The current list for participating labs is:
Laverty Pathology (NSW), QML Pathology (QLD), Dorevitch Pathology (VIC), Western Diagnostic Pathology (WA)

We've been made aware that some doctors could not or would not draw the blood themselves. For patients that have to get the laboratory to take their blood, they may be invoiced. If this causes any financial distress, please contact the Lyme Disease Association of Australia for assistance via email on with: a) your details b) a photo of the invoice from the lab c) photo of your Murdoch project application – we will pay the laboratory invoice directly on your behalf and confirm with you.

We have been told that some doctors are concerned about signing the forms and being linked to this project. We respect their choice, we advise you to be persistent in finding a GP.  This is simply a project addressing research urgently prioritised by the Chief Medical Officer since July 2014 and there is updated information for doctors on the Murdoch University website to support them in being fully informed.

We welcome you to participate in the study, we recommend reading the updated information about the pilot study, information for doctors and for patients.

Remember, if you do not meet the criteria for the pilot study you may still volunteer, but your sample will be stored for possible future studies which are subject to funding and/or other conditions.

Murdoch are accepting financial donations for their tick research - you can give here (select "personal donation, then research tick borne disease" from the drop down box)

Good News – Raffle extended!

We are happy to announce that you still have a chance to win your very own Thermomix.  New draw date is July 18th.

May Lyme Project 2017 welcomes two key partners!

The LDAA is excited and grateful to announce that the Country Women's Association of Australia (CWAA) has chosen to partner with the LDAA for The May Lyme Project 2017.

 "Lyme disease is a real concern to our national membership and our full executive team endorsed the 'Bite of Lyme' campaign for change.  We are looking forward to combining our efforts with the LDAA to raise awareness and funds to improve outcomes for current and future Australian Lyme patients." said National president, Dorothy Coombe.

We are also proud and excited to let you know that the LDAA will partner with the US-based, LymeDiseaseChallenge group.  Like us, they are grass-roots and patient-lead – a global partnership for real action both with and for Lyme patients.  We may have similar or the same or completely different 'bugs', but many of the challenges in regards to recognition, early diagnosis and effective treatment are identical.  It's time for change.

We have a small volunteer team ready to help patients, their families and communities make a difference in May.  It's SUPER simple, take a photo on your own, an a group or at an event, then share and donate – Give$10forLyme#BiteOfLymeAU #LymeDiseaseChallenge

Chemotherapy - Bleomycin

procarbazine molecule
Procarbazine molecule

Brand Name: Blenoxane

Bleomycin is a chemotherapy drug that is administered for the treatment of several types of cancer, including squamous cell carcinomas, testicular cancer, head and neck cancers, and lymphomas. It works as an antineoplastic drug, meaning that it is a tumor antibiotic and is toxic to fast growing cells.

This drug is usually used in the treatment of Hodgkin’s Disease, though it is also used in Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphomas. It is commonly used in conjunction with other chemotherapy drugs in the following regimens:

Drug Administration

There are many different methods for administering bleomycin. The drug may be given through an IV drip, through injection into the muscle, or through a chest tube into the pleural cavity – the cavity that holds the lungs. The type of administration depends on the type of cancer, the location of tumors, and the symptoms that a patient experiences prior to treatment.

Side Effects

Common side effects include fever and chills, alopecia (hair loss), skin reactions (stretch marks, skin peeling, redness), and thickening of the nails.

Less common side effects include nausea, mouth sores, and weight loss due to low appetite.

The most serious side effect of bleomycin is lung damage, though this effect is rare. Doctors should test and monitor patient lung health during and after treatment. Other rare conditions include the development of Raynaud’s phenomenon (discoloration of the fingers and toes) or allergic reaction.

Talk to your doctor if you experience these or any other symptoms while undergoing chemotherapy.

Blessthefall – 40 Days lyrics

Let's start at one
And count the days
Let's hope to God that time flies like they say
Cause this instance can't distance my heart from yours tonight
But I'm lying awake now and I'm holding your picture
It's so cold here without you

And I need you now, cause it's killing me
And I wish somehow, you were here with me
When I fall asleep I feel you with me
Till I fall asleep and you are with me

Could this be more
I've been up all night riding subway lines
Now we're sleeping on your floor

Can we make this a lifetime, you're all I want right now
Life keeps telling me I need to go
But what if I wanna stay
Cause I'm lost here without you

I found a love I never have before, you changed me
And I will wait however long it takes, you changed me
You say the words that I've been thinking
I'll never let you go

(Next stop is Davisville, Davisville station)

Drag-on — Life Is Short lyrics

(This is real life shit ya see)

All I do is speak the truth so don't judge me by my lies

I weigh about a buck 40 don't judge me by my size

Our glocks is like Micheal J. Fox it's family tie

A lot of questions just ain't answered problems ain't resolved
'cause it'll make a family cry, why

Like if Drag really a gang member, or just involved

Y'all can be the boss of the bosses I'll be the cause of the causes

I rob from the rich and give to the less fortunate

Well I buy thousand whips and in your raps I floss this shit

I buy thousand kicks and give to the young orphanage

When I was young I was a soft kid 'till I snapp

And they couln't get me off a kid 'cause he sold my mom's crack

In fact, I caught a case beyond that I couldn't face my moms

Crack addiction 'cause I was way beyond that but I face facts

I got busted over the left side of my face my face back

But I had to fix that

[Chorus: X2]

Life Is short, time flies

It ain't our fault, blames aside

It ain't the licks, it ain't the eyes

It's just the way we live or die

[Verse 2:]

My blood I had to taste that my wound I had to heal that
In order to feel that a real life shit and still rap 'cause,

My rhymes still here so I done fried a few punks

My mom still here but she'll die in a few months

That's real life cancer and doctors ain't got the answer

I hope yall fellin this 'cause I ain't supposed to be tellin y'all this shit
Like I ain't supposed to be sellin yall this shit but this is real life

Like I ain't supposed to be cryin over this shit but I still mind

Shit just don't feel right but I'm gonna hold on till the hole in my 44 long

I'm gonna hit the gym and get my swole on

Sometimes my head gone and I don't give my pops props 'cause he was dead wrong
Pops was up

You know what, I don't give a fuck the only thing I'm happy that you did
Was bust me out your nuts

[Chorus: X2]

[Verse 3:]

But nigga this is real life it makes me clutch my glock real tight

So these last few months my moms could live right, in new clothes
It makes me wanna fight but I get it off when I write

They said she might lose her sight fuck it she saw me blow

I reminisce sometimes I pull out old 40 year olds

It gets me stressed so I could smoke up like 40 of those

Sometimes I feel like walkin with a mean bout
Bustin till I see cops snowin till I see slot

Throw on a pair of flip flops take steps to the roof of the ledge

Till my feet stop but I need not, I got a life ahead of me

I got a wife in back of me, at least I gotta see my seed drop

Probation got me on a detox, so when I die, bury me next to the weed crops

So when I'm in heaven I can give weed to Pac and smoke trees with Big tell
Alliyah we miss ya and Pun we have fun wit ya

Rottin Razkals — Lik A Shot lyrics

[Supreme C]
Lick off a shot, I like drama hot
A strain on my brain make me kill your blood clot
So when you 'treat, make sure you got a shield
Cos on the real-to-real I make your body stand still
Watch your back, I get dim like the night
In and out of sight to hit that ass up right
Straight from the jungle where I call the zoo
A major breakthrough, Jersey comin through
A straight line I walk, from I'll Town to Newark
Back and forth to pack stacks and vaults
Troopin (troopin) just like the soldier
Even if yer stiff like a boulder
You'll still get run over
Raise the stakes, all the winner takes
Lyrics to beats like shakes to earthquakes
I puff lye's, doing double I, till I die
An' everybody get high

Ill to Cruddy Click
Will leave you flattened it's so simple
Playin' little fags out like a game of Nintendo
Nobody can see this B.G., that's hard to deal with
Punks knuckle up and they better.........

[Road Dawgs]
Will he get busy, is he ready for the booth?
This tracks makes me wanna grab my gat
And lick off a shot through the roof
I'm straight blasted, everybody's askin'
Can it be the 6'3" G runnin rampant
Bangin in your ear drum
When I've finished niggas'll know what's here from
Them other fools frontin, now somebody gotta wear one

I'm quick enough to hit em high with the Double I
I'm lettin you know right now I'm not to try to die
Load up the clip for clicks who wanna start beef
To be raised in the hood, you've gotta have heart, chief
Headache is the name
Catchin wreck is the game
When I'm battle MC's I go tear em out the picture frame

[Road Dawgs]
Who wanna try to ???? big booty, niggas, what's happenin?
From ???? to 1-18 Dionna Warwick can't keep us gangstas from rappin
This is the Road Dawgs
Rollin' wid the Double I crew, we got it locked
From the westside of Inglewood to Bangkok
I drop slang, let my nutz hang
Bustas can't handle us, from here to Los Angeles
Niggas hoo-bang

[Black of Zoo Crew]
Yo, this Black, I'm representin the motherfuckin Zoo Crew
I got my man Sup C in the motherfuckin' house
I got my man Headache in the motherfuckin' house
I got Dueja, I got my motherfuckin people
The Road Dawgs, Rottin Razkals, and the Cruddy Click
And yo, my man K-Boogie on this track
And now we gonna do it like this
If you pussies can't give us our props
Don't come to Jersey and do no shows thinkin that they're sold out, nigga

It's like that y'all, and we don't stop
It's like that y'all, lick of a motherfuckin shot

Left to right, right to left I fight to death
Mentally mad, I'm insane, but I'm the best
Cos I flip shit, get niggas lifted
And then I creep to the naughty play ground
Way down in jungle deep
To smell the indo comin' from the steps
As I walk down the block, niggaz throwin up the set
Double I, for life, if you slip, you're get dealt with quick
My brotha Gutter shakled up behind the steel strips

[Cruddy Click]
Cruddy quality is heavy duty
You never knew me, pull no stu-dy
To hide the 30 to life, my ??? roll on niggas who try and do me
I send the them 60 miles south, klicklow like ????
Not even a scout can find your whereabouts
You motherfuckers can lobby together, that makes it better
For the annihilation, occasion, erasion, invasion
And I must seriously doubt if you can find a passage out
You ego maniac, ???? get blowed out
When I showed out
Ill Town''s how I stand for mind
Get props to Alpine, rip rhymes
Designed with Cruddy types of obstacles
It's not impossible
Your niggaz is unstoppable

[Diesel - Rottin Razkals]
Hold your horses
The lyrical force is about to toss this
Standin in the column with no draws or losses

[Fam - Rottin Razkals]
I come to make a mess
And put a disorder on anything in order
Sorta slaughter your recorder in the way you oughta

Prepare for the worst
Once my verse hits the earth
Competition's in fear, I could make a star burst

Wish it weren't trouble
We get it on the Double (I)
Necks get ripped in a rumble
You stumble, fumble, then crumble

Frustration influencin my attitude and mood
Not in the mood to hear it
So kid, don't step near it

We ain't gotta prove naythin
Zip up your lip, cool with the basin
Recognize and realize
Open your eyes, look who you're facin
I've been BEAT UP

The microphone is taken
You must have been mistaken
If your thought I was fakin
Swinger, ain't perpertratin

So if you wanna be down
Just step up, step up
And if your pockets are too heavy
You can give it up, yeah

Lyrics is my life, and the rhythm got me livin
Cross the I once and it ain't no forgivin (forgivin)

Obverse/reverse. Architect Bohdan Lachert

exhibition runs till 2nd of April, 2018

The exhibition presents the works of Bohdan Lachert - one of the most outstanding Polish avant-garde architects, co-creator of the Praesens modernist group, Józef Szanajca’s partner in the architectural studio “Lachert & Szanajca” - the best known duo in the history of modern architecture of the interwar period.

The exhibition was prepared by the Museum of Architecture in Wroclaw in connection with the 30th anniversary of Bohdan Lachert’s death (1900-1987) and the announcement of 2017 as the Year of Avant-Garde.

Bohdan Lachert – an architect and architectural theorist, graduate of the Faculty of Architecture at the Warsaw University of Technology. For more than a decade, he was professionally associated with Józef Szanajca within the framework of the “Lachert & Szanajca” studio that operated in the years 1926-1939 and was well known in terms of its modern way of organization. Bohdan Lachert was a co-founder of the Association of Polish Architects and the Praesens group of modernists that led the artistic search of Polish avant-garde. He worked primarily in Warsaw, but was also involved in the realization of such important modernist undertakings of the Second Polish Republic as the construction of Gdynia and the presentation of Poland abroad. He received the Grand Prix and was awarded the title of Officer of the French Legion of Honor (1939) for the Polish Pavilion, designed for the Paris exhibition “Art and Technology in Contemporary Life” (1937) together with Józef Szanajca. During the occupation, he taught architecture in underground classes and participated in the preparation of theoretical studies of Warsaw’s reconstruction within the framework of the “Conspiracy Five”. Shortly after the war, he was appointed by the Chief Commission for Investigating German Crimes in Poland as an expert to assess the destruction of the capital. He was a director of the Faculty of Architecture and Engineering at the Capital Rebuilding Office and a promoter of experimental construction from concrete rubble (including the PKO building at 124 Marszałkowska Street). Lachert was also the author of the concept of construction Muranów Południowy residential estate on the ruins of the Warsaw ghetto, which was modified and realized by the “Muranów” studio working under his direction after the introduction of socialist realism.

Bohdan Lachert was associated with the Faculty of Architecture at the Warsaw University of Technology as a Dean (1950-1954), Head of the Department of Industrial Architecture Design (1945-1960), Associate Professor (1948) and Full Professor (1966). He promoted nearly 100 theses. In 1984, he was honored with the prestigious SARP Award for his “long-standing, continuous creative activity, creation of dozens of works, buildings and complexes of outstanding spatial and functional values, which constitute an important and lasting contribution to the development of Polish architectural thought, and thus to the development of Polish culture.” In addition, his accolades include Officer’s Cross of Polonia Restituta and the honorary award of the municipality of Warsaw. He was the author of the thesis Considerations of some features of architectural creativity (published only in fragments), illustrated with op-art graphics depicting the process of creating architecture. He died on 8th January 1987, and was buried at the Powązki Military Cemetery in Warsaw.

The exhibition is an attempt at the widest-possible presentation of Bohdan Lachert’s multi-faceted artistic accomplishments. The use of previously unknown designs, concepts and studies allows to present not only his achievements from the interwar period, but also postwar works, which - with the exception of the Muranów Południowy estate - are much less known. Throughout his life, including the period after Szanajca’s death in 1939 and the changing working conditions after the end of the war, Lachert remained faithful to the avant-garde assumptions of the artistic duo. Looking at his works without the usual division into pre- and postwar periods shows the artist consistently realizing the ideas of modernism.

The titular obverse of Bohdan Lachert’s work is his home, developed in 1928 at 9 Katowicka Street in Warsaw. The reverse is the study atrial home, designed after the war and never completed.

Bohadan Lachert’s home in Saska Kepa was one of the first avant-garde buildings in Warsaw. As part of the experiment, it was built of cellolite (foam concrete), the freshly-patented lightweight cellular concrete. It constituted the author’s interpretation of the five principles of modern Le Corbusier architecture and is still referred to in modernist architecture. The interior color, developed nearly two decades before Władysław Strzemiński’s famous Neoplastic Room (1948) and complemented by colorful Lachert’s designer furniture, was part of the artistic dialogue of the international avant-garde. The building formulated one of the spatial codes of modernist architecture, which can be compared with those designed by Walter Gropius at the same time with the Houses for the Bauhaus Teachers in Dessau or the home of Barbara and Stanisław Brukalski in Warsaw.

The narrative of the exhibition is built of architectural designs and drawings, which have never been exposed or reproduced in the literature of the subject, archival photographs, mock-ups, sculptures, prototypes and patents of furniture, book covers, as well as Bohdan Lachert’s texts, interviews with the architect and his loved ones, as well as film material. The presentation thus underlines the multifaceted nature of Bohdan Lachert’s work and illuminates the unknown themes of his artistic activity, allowing for broadening the understanding of the role of the architect in the twentieth century.

The presented exhibits come mainly from the collection of the Museum of Architecture in Wroclaw, where most of the architect’s archives are located, as well as from the collection of the National Library, the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Warsaw University of Technology, the Archives of Modern Records, the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland, the Museum of the Warsaw University of Technology, the National Digital Archive, the Jewish Historical Institute, the Dutch House Foundation, the Okolska Association and private collections.

What’s the Allure of Body Jewelry?

More articles by »
Written by: admin
Tags: ,

Like any trend in fashion or style, there will always be people who ask “why?” in regard to tongue rings, nose rings, and other body jewelry.  From a non-pierced person’s point of view, the questions include, “Why would you want to stick a sharp needle through your face or mouth?” “What is the point?” and of course, “Do you really need another hole in your head?”

People who have decided to adorn themselves with body jewelry, however, respond with “Why not?” Tongue rings and nose rings are just two more ways for a person to express himself or herself.  The idea of body jewelry is similar to the idea of tradition earlobe piercings:   people want to be able to decorate themselves.  Society has come to accept belly button rings and it’s only a short time before the rest of the body jewelry follows suit.

In addition, less traditional forms of body jewelry such as tongue rings, nose rings and eyebrow rings, are sometimes used as an outlet for rebellion against one’s parents or against a conformist society.  The purpose is to essentially say, “Hey, it’s my body, I can poke holes wherever I want.”   It’s true, they can, but are they ignoring repercussions they may face when trying to get a job or try to appear professional?

The beauty of body jewelry is that most often, when a person decides that the body jewelry is no longer a desirable form of self-expression, he or she can simply remove the nose ring or tongue ring, and the tiny hole will eventually close up. Body jewelry is a semi-permanent way for people to show their style, rebel, or simply decorate the body.

THE family of a man left paralysed after being hit by a drink-driver is to sue for compensation.

Donald Gate-Eastley is unable to move and has to be fed through a tube in his nose after Paul Denny, 19, ploughed into him. .

Denny, of Mitcheson Gardens, Salford, had no driving experience and had taken his father's car.

Donald's brother, Michael, said the family had decided to sue so they could absolve Donald of any blame for the accident and pay for treatment as he begins the long road to rehabilitation.

Donald, a mature student, was left in a coma for three weeks and regained consciousness in June, but the future extent of his recovery is unclear.

Michael said: "We wanted to make sure that everyone would know that Donald was in no way responsible for the accident. Donald is probably going to need to be looked after for the rest of his life and we therefore also need the money so we are able to care for him properly."

Michael added he had no animosity towards Denny and said he had written to him to explain how the family felt about what had happened.

"As far as we are concerned, Paul Denny is now a part of history," he told the M.E.N.

"And you cannot change history - you can only influence the future. There is no room for vengeance or retribution in our family.

"Watching him bragging about it in court was very disturbing."

Denny was jailed last week for only nine months for the offence and as he was being led away, he smirked and said "Nice one, judge" and gave the thumbs up to his family and friends in the public gallery.

Michael said his brother was a kind and loving man.

He said: "He was a wonderful uncle to my three daughters before the accident and they love him dearly. We are hoping to move him to London so he is closer to us. He was kind and gentle.

"He wanted to alleviate the suffering of others and was taking a course at Salford University in complementary medicine and acupuncture so he could extend his healing work."

Because Denny did not have insurance, the family have to sue through the Motor Insurance Bureau, a government body which handles such claims.

Carol Jackson, a solicitor at Manchester law firm Pannone and Partners who is handling the claim, said that about 15 per cent of drivers in Manchester did not have insurance.

"People do not realise that the chances of being in an accident with an uninsured driver is quite high," she said.

"There are very, very strict requirements on cases which involve the Motor Insurance Bureau, and the requirement to prove the other driver did not have insurance lies with you."

If someone is involved in an accident, they must get the name, address and insurance details of the other drivers.

If it later turns out the other driver did not have insurance and these questions were not asked, the Motor Insurance Bureau may not pay out.

IAN Black (Whittaker), winner of the Rose Bowl in last year's contest, is out of this year's Rochdale Observer golf tournament.

He won a preliminary round match but then lost 4 and 3 on his home course to Pike Fold's Lewis Pickford in a first round tie.

Darrell Kernick (Whittaker) a past winner of the competition, crashed five and four to Dan Moss at Pike Fold, but other previous winners Lee Rogers (Rochdale), Bob Ward (Manchester), Julien Robinson (Blackley), Michael Nuttall (North Manchester), and Clive Turner (Bacup) will all be in the line-up for round two.

Several matches in the early rounds needed extra holes to decide the outcome.

The longest saw Glyn Sinkinson (Blackley) beat Alan Leigh (Whittaker) at the 22nd, but Sinkinson went out in round one.

It can be seen from the round two draw that some results from round one have not been received by the Observer sports desk.

Could the winners of those "outstanding" matches please ring 01706 354321, ext 323, as soon as possible.

Results in round two can be phoned to that number, posted to the Sports Desk, Rochdale Observer, Drake Street, Rochdale, OL16 1PH, or sent by e-mail to obsport@gmwn.co.uk.

Matches in round two must be completed by 16 July and all results submitted by that date.

THE draw for round two of the Observer knockout is:

78 Ian Kenyon (Springfield) v 90 Mark Hughes (Blackley)

85 Jonathon Thomas (Whittaker) v 122 Nick Simpson (Castle Hawk)

50 Bryn Tootell (Tunshill) v 20 Mike Murphy (Blackley) or 143 Derek Fenwick (Springfield)

Rugby Union

FORMER Scotland international Andy Craig has joined Sedgley Park - after snubbing a one-year contract extension with French side Brive.

Craig, an ex-Orrell, Glasgow Warriors and Leeds Tykes centre, was capped 23 times by Scotland.

He played in the 2003 World Cup and has rugby league experience with Wigan, Swinton Lions and Halifax.

Craig said: "My wife Anna and I are hoping to start a family pretty soon so returning home fits in with our plans. It was a tough decision but the right one.

"I've probably three seasons left in me at National One level so this was the right time to go part-time.

"I wanted to go to whichever club I chose with plenty of juice left in me and so the change from full-time to part-time hasn't really bothered me.

"I'd been thinking about it for a while anyway, so I was used to the idea."

Sedgley's squad has been further boosted by the arrival of some exciting prospects from Sale Sharks.

Chris Briers has joined from Orrell having spent several years as a Jet with Sale.

Fellow ex-Sale players Jason Duffy and Adam Newton have also moved to Sedgley.

Exclusive: Major MMA Star Eyeing Pro Wrestling

Nick Paglino

No, it’s not Brock Lesnar.

But a major, charismatic MMA star currently signed with Strikeforce is considering announcing his retirement, and getting into the sports entertainment business.

"I’ve always been a fan, and now it’s WWE. TNA does not appeal to me right now, even though I will watch them on TV," the fighter told us exclusively.

More on this developing story, including who the fighter is, once WZ has confirmed further details.

Explain how the new farming ideas of the Agricultural revolution were spread around the country

Extracts from this document...

Millie Popovic History Exam Question 1. a. Explain how the new farming ideas of the Agricultural revolution were spread around the country. (4) Many farmers of this time were experimenting, with different techniques of farming, and many wrote books of specific topics that they had trialled. One of these men was called Jethro Tull. He had invented the horse hoe and wrote a book called "Horse Hoeing Husbandry". His invention was not very successful until after his death, as it tended to break very easily. Many Farmers of this time however, were not educated, and could not read or write, so therefore did not know about his ideas and methods. Another for of spreading ideas was through model farms. These were working farms that tested new ideas, and other farmers and members of the public could come and see how they worked. This meant that people could go and take back ideas to try on there own farms. ...read more.

Many people went on tours of the county too, to talk to the poor people, that could not read the magazines or books, and who couldn't go to see the model farms. Between 1793 and 1820 Young went and spoke in person to people, and he was very good at persuading people. 1. b. Explain why it was necessary to produce more food by the end of the 18th century? (6) With the industrial revolution, more people were moving to the bigger towns`` in search of work. In between 1750-1900 there was a huge change in the population distribution, e.g. in 1750 75% of people lived and worked in rural society but by 1900, that was 25% and vice versa. This meant there were fewer farmers and more people who needed to buy food. In the boom years when labourers had more money, parents had had more babies. Because the average person's diet was improving, more of these babies had survived, and so those babies were now young men and women, just at the time when work was hard to find. ...read more.

1. c. The effects of introducing Enclosure were good. Do you agree? Explain your answer. (10) I think that the effects of enclosure were good in the long run, but the effects short term were not good for the poor especially. Because of the layout of the Open Field System, it was very hard to try out new ideas. This meant that there was not much room for development, but with enclosure, farmers could try new methods like the Threashing Machine, invented by Andrew Mickle in 1786. Land owners and large tenant farmers did well out of enclosure, for example they could try selective breading which would give them fatter and healthier animals. Selective breeding was developed by Robert Bakewell (1725-1793), and the Colling brothers. They were from County Durham and adopted Robert Bakewell's ideas and developed another breed called Shortham cattle. As a result of these changes, food production increased and this made the larger farmers very rich. However it was also good for the growing population as they would get fed and the new industrial towns would grow. ...read more.

Russia's dilemma - Is Russia going to sign the Kyoto treaty?

Extracts from this document...

RUSSIA'S DILEMMA: IS RUSSIA GOING TO SIGN THE KYOTO TREATY? Global warming is a scientifically recognized process of the Earth's ozone and atmospheric decay that was first put on the political agenda by the UN(United Nations) with the adoption of the UNFCCC(UN Framework Convention on Climate Change) in 1992 and it came into force in 1994.1 The main reason behind the global warming is the unregulated and irresponsible use of fossil energy, which results in the release of climatic gases and eventually a rise in the global temperature. Unfortunately, an increase in the global temperature leads to the rising of the sea level, changes in precipitation and wind patterns, loss of biological diversity and a decrease in the quality of life, especially in the poorer parts of the world. The challenges involved with solving climate issues is first and foremost connected to use of fossil energy, and can generally be solved by increasing production of renewable energy and efforts made towards increased energy efficiency. If we continue to use fossil energy as we do today, we will experience a quadrupling of the world's greenhouse gas emissions in the course of the next 125 years, as the result of energy consumption and increase in population.2 The Kyoto Protocol, adopted at a December 1997 conference in Kyoto, Japan, obliges all signatory countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by a yearly average of 5.2 percent in order to reach a goal by 2012 where participating countries are producing fewer greenhouse gases than they were in 1990. However, only developed countries are covered by the protocol because developed nations are responsible for the lions' share of greenhouse gas emissions that lead to the global warming and risk the Earth's environmental balance. ...read more.

Also, Vladimir Putin's climate change and economic advisor, Illarinov, points out that the United States and Australia opted out of the protocol after claiming that compliance would be too costly. Illarinov argues compliance with Kyoto would be even less affordable for Russia whose economy is only a fraction of the US or Australian economies.13 Other argument that the Russian government makes is that with the United States rejecting the treaty and China and India being kept out of the protocol, there would be no significant buyers for Russia's 'hot air' other than Japan, Canada and maybe few countries in Europe.14 Russian officials argue that they wouldn't be able to make billion dollars of profit as calculated and Kyoto treaty's costs will be more than its profits for Russia. Another reason why Russian government hesitates to ratify the Kyoto treaty is the Russian government officers' fear that signing the protocol would put constraints on Russia's economic and industrial growth and damage Russia's international competitiveness. Especially, Illarionov argues that even though currently Russia's emissions are lower than the 1990 goal, they are, with economic and industrial growth and Putin's plan to double gross domestic product in 10 years, again beginning to rise, which would leave Russia with an even smaller margin to trade in Kyoto emissions credits.15 Russians even consider the likelihood of stronger Kyoto emissions curbs later, which can eventually turn Russia into a buyer rather than a seller of emissions credits. In a study released last year by Alexander Nakhutin, Russia's chief greenhouse gas emissions forecaster, it is found that Russian greenhouse gas emissions have ballooned as much as 13% annually. If Nakhutin's projects are correct- and he is one of only a very few researchers with access to the best Russian industrial data, Russian carbon emissions will be 6% greater than they were in 1990, or %30 higher than originally envisioned. ...read more.

Recently, also a conspiracy theory has been created in media that the US administration attempts to lobby Moscow to take a particular stand on the Kyoto Protocol and pressure Russia to delay its decision. It is more interesting that former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former US President George Bush Sr. made a visit to Kremlin to discuss about the Kyoto Protocol and other energy resources. Experts point out that the Washington administration argues about the fundamental flaw of Kyoto Protocol. So if the Kyoto Protocol comes into force, this argument loses a lot of strength and it would be a foreign policy disaster for the Bush administration.26 This is why it sounds pretty logical that the US administration may want to put pressure on Russia to delay its decision. In conclusion, Russia has been going through a tough transition period from totalitarianism to democracy and it is still in the progress of building an effective environmental regime. Limited resources, personnel shortages, and perceived conflicts between environmental and economic goals are few of the several reasons that explain why this progress has a slow pace. However, even more intractable obstacles include lack of training or experience in self-government, corruption, poorly functioning legal systems, and a basic lack of trust in government.27 In this kind of an atmosphere, having consensus and alliances necessary to make environmental decisions as well as developing effective environmental laws is a big challenge. This is why Russia has been still struggling to come to a firm decision about ratifying the Kyoto protocol since 1997 and it unfortunately seems like this reluctance will continue at least for a while... . ...read more.

Creating a computer system for a video rental shop

Extracts from this document...

sis Introduction ABZ World is a video rental shop, located in Stoke Newington town centre. It is a relatively small shop and has 300 members, who live in and around Stoke Newington. The shop is owned and managed by Abdullah Elgayar. He set up the business two years ago and has two other staff working in the shop on a part time basis. Abdullah currently has a filing system that occupies a great deal of space and is very time consuming to analyse. He gives his members cards and has to manually record which video members are hiring. The old paper filing system is very inefficient in notifying when members are overdue with bringing the videos back. This in turn means other customers are unsatisfied when the video they want isn't in stock and so Abdullah loses out on revenue. His shop has not got much space and the filing system is taking 1/4 of the shop floor, more spaces are needed for videos and the shop at the moment is looking crap and tight costumes feel isolated and do not get to look around and look at covers of videos as the shop can get cramp, card board standing posters have been scraped this makes advertisement of movies hard. Costumers will not know when the new videos have arrived this make business in his shop go down. More and more children are coming to the shop and Abdullah says "I have very little movies for young children if I don't sort it out they will go someplace else. He is also opening another Abz World in wood green centre about 15 miles away and he would like to link up both shops. Abdullah possesses greater than average IT skills and is keen to introduce a computer-based system for the rentals of his videos. If we make both shops have a computerized system Abdullah will be able to link both shops and have plenty of space for videos and advertisements and costumers can return videos in both shops. ...read more.

Evaluation of possible software solutions I have decided to recommend the use of Access to the clients as being most suitable because it seems to offer more facilities and features, which will help me in designing a program for the, clients. Access is more usable than both Excel and Pascal and the end users will find the system easier to use as the system will save time by cutting out repetitive tasks and will give them quick access to the information they need. A system designed is Access should give a very user-friendly interface and will function in the way the client's want in to. Access is a quick database and is quick to open files and change to new pages. Access will really provide a solution to the client's needs, as it is a diverse program, which can be used in many different ways. Another very good thing about Access is that it will be very easy to upgrade, introduce new functions and make modifications as and when they are necessary. Comparison of Possible Solutions A number of possible solutions could be considered: * Use of Excel Spreadsheet * Use of Access Database Excel is a spreadsheet of considerable power including database facility. However the relationships required would be difficult to implement in the time scale available. The final solution might also be difficult for the end user to understand and maintain. Access has all the capabilities required and is the preferred option for the end user. I have experience of using Access and some Visual Basic knowledge that can be used for enhanced customisation. Using Access it will be possible to: * Create and edit tables * Create and edit relationships * Create forms and reports based on tables * Create customised input screens and using Visual Basic facilitate searches and validation procedures * Create queries to find specific data * Create a menu driven system * Implement security provision. ...read more.

Encryption Encryption is where data appears garbled unless you know how to decrypt the data. Other Security Recommendations I would suggest the user have various security measures for the system, these include: - * A security manager who can oversea and monitor all terminal activities. * Keyboards and monitors to be locked via a password when they are not being used or are left unattended. A screen layout for a user interface screen Screen layout design for open all data input forms Screen layout design for open all data output reports Screen lay out for all data input forms Member Form 1 Book Form Borrowing form Reserving form Specification of the query criteria including any sorting This query is designed for a report to be sent to the borrowers who did not return the borrowed videos in time and also show how many days these videos been delayed. Three tables will be used in this query: member table to get member details, borrowing table to get borrowing date and transaction table to get transaction ID and member ID. A calculated field will be generated called days: Date Diff("d"),{Date of borrowing},Now)) In the criteria row of the QBE >14 will be inserted, where 14 are the allowed time for borrowing. This query will calculate the number of delayed days A simple example of the use SQL When a user create a query , Access automatically convert his action to programming language called Structured Query Language (SQL) For example the table blow shows different video with different prices This SQL allows selecting all videos price more than �20 SELECT: video, cost FROM; Table1 WHERE. cost)>"20" video cost Computing 17 Access 97 45 Database design 35 Web design 18 The result after this query is applied will be all the books which cost more than �20: Access Database design Report layout designs Overdue books report Books out. Not ification report Test Plan The reason for the test plan is to see that the designed library database is able to function well with different operations 1-member record ...read more.

Star Wars ABC's - The Letter O

Star Wars ABC's continues this Tuesday with "O."

O is for Owen.

Whether you call him Owen Lars, Uncle Owen, or simply "Luke's psychologically abusive uncle," he's an important character in the Star Wars universe. While Obi-Wan watches the galaxy's new hope from a distance, Owen and his wife Beru are tasked with raising the boy.

Owen is the crotchety old guy you can never quite please; the man who wears a mask of disapproval no matter what you do. He is resentful and spiteful, but he has his reasons. He watched his stepbrother fall to the Dark Side (in a bit of prequel retroactive continuity, of course), something he wants to prevent from happening to young Luke. How continually berating his nephew and keeping him from doing anything even slightly stimulating in his life will protect him from the Dark Side is beyond me.

N is for Needa
M is for Mon Mothma
L is for Lightsaber
K is for Kenobi
J is for Jabba
I is for "I know"
H is for Hoth
G is for Galactic Empire
F is for Falcon
E is for Emperor
D is for Death Star
C is for Chewie
B is for Bespin
A is for Ackbar

Review - Frédérique Constant Ladies Automatic Love Heart Beat

by Marco 19 janvier, 2010 Voir les commentaires

(Cet article n'est pas disponible en Français)

In the past few years there has been an increase of mechanical, luxury ladies watches. An growing number of women appreciate the fine aspects of a Swiss mechanical movement as much as the fashion and jewellery aspects of watches. In order to distinguish a mechanical watch from quartz, companies have often placed an aperture on the dial to demonstrate parts of the mechanism underneath. Frédérique Constant is one of the several companies to have played with this feature by shaping the aperture or integrating it in the design of the dial. The Frédérique Constant Ladies Automatic Love Heart Beat for instance, uses the round window in place of the O in the word love that is inscribed on the watch's dial with diamonds.

In their press communication, Frédérique Constant actually refers to the word as "Love," due to the size of the first two letters on the watch dial. The L and O are capitalized in order to accommodate the opening at Twelve o'clock. Through this aperture, we are offered a glimpse at the automatic movement. Diamonds are hand set along the lines of the letters and balance really well with the iridescence of the dial's mother of pearl. More diamonds are used for the hour markers. A nice touch that many will appreciate is a tiny heart pattern displayed in the centre of the watch's face.

 Frédérique Constant Ladies Automatic Love Heart Beat

The quality of the diamonds is high. Although small, each diamond is a full cut round brilliant. The colour and clarity of the stones is not only very well matched, but the diamonds are impressively clear and display near colourless to colourless quality. While this quality is common in similar luxury products in higher price brackets, it is not the case for those in the same class as the FC Automatic Love Heart Beat.

Seen through the "Love" window is the heart of the automatic FC-310HG-2 calibre movement, its balance wheel. When in motion, the balance wheel oscillates at a frequency of 4 Hz, causing the seconds hand to tick eight times per second and evoking the famous sweep-seconds visual effect of self-winding watches. Upon close inspection, it is possible to see how the movement's bottom plate was cut out to allow for a view of the balance wheel and polished with a beautiful brushed perlage finish.

 Frédérique Constant Ladies Automatic Love Heart Beat

At first glance the Frédérique Constant Ladies Automatic Love Heart Beat is a beautifully decorated fashion accessory, but looking through the aperture on its dial it is evident that its beauty is not only skin deep. Diamonds, silk, and a sapphire cabochon on the crown are in perfect balance with the fine Swiss mechanical workmanship that lies within. For a woman that believes that fashion goes hand in hand with quality, value, and longevity, the Love Heart Beat is the perfect match.
