The bedrooms were used-to prepare or produce food, that sensation of your kitchen. So it can be said the kitchen is one room that's typically unpleasant and filthy since the 7 Drawer Desk is just a spot to make and fit anything carelessly because of the effects of the hurry of cooking for many meals were burned and so forth.
So it is currently plenty of kitchens which may have an interesting product using a selection of furniture for cooking utensils on the regular basis in order or storing items never to break apart. Maybe for a few people the simplest way to prepare the kitchenware in the home is to add land or a hook to maintain some cooking products that may be strung.
Design your kitchen in to a minimalist home, utilize your creative aspect to create a minimalist kitchen within your house, because the minimalist kitchen is just a kitchen that's designed with a kitchen set as well as a large amount of kitchen cupboards that you can employ to place a cooking tools. So that you no longer must create a hook or hook in your home for a minimalist kitchen is complete.
Undoubtedly you'll experience cozy cooking, in case your 7 Drawer Desk seems clean and neat. With a cozy home, cooking is fun, because the flavor of food is dependent upon the mood of individuals that are preparing as well as the effect would be the maximum that the recipes may taste better.

Patterns of diagnosis and management for men diagnosed with prostate cancer in Queensland, Australia, have not yet been systematically documented and so assumptions of equity are untested. This longitudinal study investigates the association between prostate cancer diagnostic and treatment outcomes and key area-level characteristics and individual-level demographic, clinical and psychosocial factors.
A total of 1064 men diagnosed with prostate cancer between February 2005 and July 2007 were recruited through hospital-based urology outpatient clinics and private practices in the centres of Brisbane, Townsville and Mackay (82% of those referred). Additional clinical and diagnostic information for all 6609 men diagnosed with prostate cancer in Queensland during the study period was obtained via the population-based Queensland Cancer Registry.
Respondent data are collected using telephone and self-administered questionnaires at pre-treatment and at 2 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months and 60 months post-treatment. Assessments include demographics, medical history, patterns of care, disease and treatment characteristics together with outcomes associated with prostate cancer, as well as information about quality of life and psychological adjustment. Complementary detailed treatment information is abstracted from participants' medical records held in hospitals and private treatment facilities and collated with health service utilisation data obtained from Medicare Australia. Information about the characteristics of geographical areas is being obtained from data custodians such as the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Geo-coding and spatial technology will be used to calculate road travel distances from patients' residences to treatment centres. Analyses will be conducted using standard statistical methods along with multilevel regression models including individual and area-level components.
Information about the diagnostic and treatment patterns of men diagnosed with prostate cancer is crucial for rational planning and development of health delivery and supportive care services to ensure equitable access to health services, regardless of geographical location and individual characteristics.
Internationally, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed among men worldwide (12% of all cancers) and the 6th most common cause of cancer-related deaths . Prostate cancer is particularly prevalent in developed countries such as the United States, Scandinavian countries, Canada and Australia, with about a six-fold difference between high-incidence and low-incidence countries. Among Australian males in 2010, prostate cancer is expected to have the second highest cancer-related disease burden, measured by disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), behind lung cancer .
Based on autopsy studies, substantial proportions of men have histological prostate cancer that doesn't cause symptoms or death [4, 5]. Since the introduction of PSA testing, increasing numbers of these indolent prostate cancers are now being diagnosed . As such, many of the prostate cancers being diagnosed will have little impact on a man's health even in the absence of treatment  and that treatment may in fact be harmful as it may carry significant side effects with no potential benefit. However many prostate cancers do have the potential to metastasise and cause death. Worldwide, there were nearly 260,000 deaths caused by prostate cancer in 2008, with 53% of these being in developed regions. We have shown previously that a diagnosis of prostate cancer has greater implications for men diagnosed at a young age, with these men being more likely to die prematurely. Unfortunately it is not currently possible to differentiate the indolent cancers from those that have the potential to metastasise before biopsy, thus making the important decision of whether to be screened and subsequent treatment decisions potentially complex and distressing.
For localised prostate cancer, potentially curative treatment options include surgery through radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy (external beam and brachytherapy). While these surgical or radiation treatments may increase the chance of cure, they are associated with a significant risk of impotence, and less commonly urinary incontinence and bowel problems. The prevalence and type of side-effects vary for different treatment types. Another treatment option is active surveillance, in which treatment is initially deferred, then initiated if the disease progresses. This differs from "watchful waiting" in which medical treatment is reserved until symptoms become evident, thus potentially missing the opportunity for cure. In contrast close observation maintains the likelihood of cure by intervening before symptoms present.
The contrasting initial results recently published from two large-scale prostate cancer screening trials in the United States  and Europe  highlight the complexity of issues surrounding the provision of diagnostic and treatment services for prostate cancer. In the presence of already high PSA testing, the United States study suggested that organised PSA population screening programs are likely to result in over-diagnosis and over-treatment with little reduction in mortality. Conversely, in Europe where the prevalence of asymptomatic detection is low, there is greater potential for screening programs to reduce the number of advanced prostate cancers and deaths from prostate cancer. A sub-study conducted in Göteborg, Sweden, a country with a low prevalence of PSA testing (3%) found that using an intention to treat analysis PSA testing almost halved the risk of death from prostate cancer. A major difference between this study and its two larger international predecessors is its more appropriate duration of follow-up viz. 14 years.
Internationally, there is substantial evidence that socio-demographic factors, such as age, ethnicity, location of residence and income are associated with prostate cancer outcomes extending from the likelihood of a man having a PSA test to differences in prostate cancer management [2, 14–18]. In Australia  there has been a statistically significant and increasing excess of prostate cancer mortality among men in regional and rural areas compared with those living in capital cities. This mortality excess was accompanied by lower rates of radical prostatectomy and PSA testing in rural and regional Australia, and was in spite of lower incidence rates of prostate cancer.
At present, the patterns of care for men in Queensland, Australia, are not documented in any systematic way. For example, for men diagnosed with prostate cancer, we currently do not know which medical treatments they receive, what factors are associated with different choices, nor the morbidity and mortality risks associated with these different treatments in their settings. Since this information is needed for the planning and development of health delivery and supportive care services and to ensure equitable access to health services, this longitudinal study of men diagnosed with prostate cancer in Queensland was undertaken.
Identify inequalities in diagnostic and treatment pathways, with a view to translating that information into health policy and practice decision-making.
This is a descriptive, longitudinal epidemiological study, in which is embedded a randomised controlled trial of a decision support intervention for men with localised prostate cancer. The descriptive epidemiology component is a secondary outcome of the randomised controlled trial  and has been registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (registration number ACTRN12607000233426).
This project was awarded funding by the (Australia) National Health and Medical Research Council (ID: 442301) and a Cancer Council Queensland Research Grant. Cancer Council Queensland provided additional funding for the maintenance of the GIS software.
The full study, including documentation of the patterns of diagnosis and treatment, has been approved by the Queensland University of Technology Human Research Ethics Committee, in addition to the ethics committees of ten public hospitals in Queensland. The collection of Medicare data has been approved by Medicare Australia and access to data from the Queensland Cancer Registry was approved by Queensland Health.
Men diagnosed with prostate cancer in Queensland (Australia) between February 2005 and July 2007 (inclusive) are eligible for this study. As the second largest area of the Australian states and territories, Queensland has the third highest population of any state (4.4 million in 2009) and is the most decentralised . Recruitment is centred on the two major tertiary treatment centres for prostate cancer in Queensland; the greater Brisbane and Townsville areas.
Participants were ascertained through urology outpatient clinics in the Greenslopes Private, Royal Brisbane, Mater Adults, Princess Alexandra, Ipswich, QEII, Redlands, and Redcliffe Hospitals in Brisbane (and surrounds) and through the Townsville General Hospital and Mackay Base Hospital. Private patients were ascertained through the private practices of Urologists in Brisbane (and surrounds), Townsville and Mackay.
All men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer in Queensland between 1st February 2005 and 31st July 2007 were potentially eligible for the study. Urologists referred eligible men to the study if they were newly diagnosed with prostate cancer irrespective of stage of disease. The following exclusion criteria were used: previous diagnosis of prostate cancer; inability to read, write and speak English; history of dementia, head injury or psychiatric illness; and no regular access to a telephone.
In all, 1291 men were referred to the study, with 1064 men (82.4% of referrals) eligible and agreeing to participate. Figure 1 shows the flowchart of ineligible/excluded men, completeness of data collection and attrition from the study between recruitment and 12 months post-treatment.
Flowchart of recruitment, participation, data collection and attrition from study.
Clinical and diagnostic information for all men diagnosed with prostate cancer in Queensland during the study period (February 2005 to July 2007), whether or not they are in the study cohort, was accessed via the Queensland Cancer Registry. This population-based data will enable a comparison of demographic, geographical, clinical and diagnostic information between the study cohort and men diagnosed with prostate cancer who did not take part in the study (n = 5545).
Data collection for the study cohort is via telephone and self-administered questionnaires and occurs at pre-treatment and 2 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months and 60 months post-treatment. These assessments include demographic information, medical history, self-reported diagnostic and treatment information together with outcomes associated with prostate cancer, including information about quality of life and psychological adjustment. The quality of life and psychological measures used in this study are well-established and validated and have been described previously.
the demographic information collected at baseline includes date of birth, marital status, ethnicity, education level, income, current employment status and health insurance.
includes family history of cancer, family history of prostate cancer, body mass index (BMI), other chronic conditions and co-morbidities and smoking status.
This self-reported information includes PSA level, Gleason score, previous screening history, the diagnostic examinations performed together with the date and location of each examination, the reasons leading to the initial diagnosis, reasons for delaying the diagnosis, the type of treatment undertaken and the date and location of each type of treatment and the public or private status of the treating facility. Detailed self-report diagnostic and treatment information is collected on all participants up to 6 months after primary treatment commenced. We will continue to collect basic information on disease progression and subsequent treatments up to 60 months following primary treatment.
For the study cohort, detailed treatment information is being abstracted from participants' medical records held in hospitals and private treatment facilities. This includes details of diagnosis and post-treatment PSA levels, TNM Staging, diagnostic examinations performed and the dates and locations of these examinations, the types of treatment and the treating doctors and their facilities. Any information pertaining to further treatments such as radiation therapy, androgen deprivation therapy and other medications is being collected as relevant. Detailed information from medical records is collected from diagnosis to 12 months after primary treatment was started.
Study participants are being asked to sign an additional consent form to facilitate access to their medical records through Medicare Australia. Data relating to health service utilisation including general practitioner and specialist services, prescription drug use (from the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme), diagnostic and imaging tests and procedures is being obtained. Information requested from Medicare Australia will cover a 7 year period starting from the 1st January 2005 for each study participant.
For the entire population cohort, information is obtained from the Queensland Cancer Registry (QCR) regarding the clinical details recorded for each prostate cancer diagnosis. These details include the Gleason score, the tumour volume, number of positive cores, the extent of invasion (including extraprostatic extension, seminal vesicle invasion and vascular invasion), and, when radical prostatectomy is performed and a lymhadenectomy is also undertaken, the number of positive lymph nodes. When available and relevant, details are obtained from multiple pathology reports sourced within the Queensland Cancer Registry including transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP), prostatectomy, lymph node dissection and bone biopsy pathology reports.
Information will also be gathered from the QCR on date of diagnosis, place of usual residence at diagnosis, age group at diagnosis, gender, country of birth, marital status, occupation and Indigenous status. Although there is evidence of some under-identification, the Indigenous identifier in Queensland is considered to have good coverage .
The smallest geographical entity used for this analysis is Collection Districts (CDs) which cover Queensland without gaps or overlap. There were 7567 populated CDs in Queensland in 2006, with a median population of 497 (range: 3 to 2372). These CDs can then be collapsed to form Statistical Local Areas (SLA) using a deterministic (m:1) match between the CDs and the SLAs.
These SLAs are often based on local government administrative areas, with the local governments being responsible for local and regional service provision and infrastructure. In 2006 there were 478 SLAs in Queensland with a median population of 5810 (range: 7 to 77523). The SLA is also used as the standard geographical area definition by most relevant data providers, in particular the Queensland Cancer Registry and Australian Bureau of Statistics. The use of geo-coding enables us to match all area-level information to the 2006 Australian Standard Geographic Classification definition, thus removing any impact of changes in these geographic boundaries over time.
Remoteness of residence when diagnosed with breast cancer was categorized using the ARIA+ classification , which categorizes remoteness into Major City, Inner Regional, Outer Regional, Remote and Very Remote areas. The ARIA+ classification is a purely geographic measure that considers road distance measurements from localities, and is a measure of accessibility and remoteness.
Area-level socioeconomic disadvantage is measured using the Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage (IRSD) calculated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics . The IRSD provides a general measure of disadvantage, and considers factors such as low income, low educational attainment, high unemployment, jobs in relatively unskilled occupations.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics conducts a population Census every 5 years, with the latest available data currently available for 2006. Information is available down to CD level, and then can be aggregated up to SLA level. Variables include occupation, household income, number of vehicles per occupied private dwelling, marital status, Indigenous status, labour force status and highest educational qualification.
Details about occupation were collapsed into "Blue Collar" (including tradespersons, plant and machine operators and drivers, and labourers and related workers), "White collar" (including clerks, salespersons and personal service workers), "Professional" (including managers and administrators, professionals and para-professional), "Not in workforce" (including retired, students, unemployed and home duties), "Unknown" (no information available). Similar occupation categories have been used previously .
All address details for study respondents, diagnosing and treating doctors and treatment facilities are geo-coded using commercial software designed to clean and convert street address information into spatial (latitude and longitude) coordinates. When full street address information for a patient, doctor or treating facilities is not available, the centroid of the SLA will be used instead.
Distances between patients, diagnostic centres, treatment facilities and other medical centres will be calculated directly from the geo-coded latitude and longitude points. Many studies assessing distance to treatment have calculated straight line distances [25–31], however this method may under-estimate travel times , illustrating the importance of using accurate road distance and travel time information [25, 27]. These road distances and times will be calculated using commercial GIS software, combined with street network analysis and display tools: and custom GIS applications to enable calculation of the closest road travel distance between one location (such as patient's residence) and multiple locations (such as various treatment facilities).
Diagnostic pathway: a description of events and time line from first noticing symptoms or presenting to a medical practitioner to the definitive diagnosis. This includes the diagnostic interval, defined as the time between the initial doctor's consultation for reasons that led to the prostate cancer diagnosis, and the date of definitive diagnosis.
Treatment pathway: a description of events and time line from the definitive diagnosis to 6 months post the commencement of primary treatment. This includes the treatment interval, which is the time between the definitive diagnosis and the commencement of primary treatment for the prostate cancer.
Treatment details: a description of the type, duration and frequency of all treatments received by the participant between diagnosis and 6 months after the commencement of primary treatment. Primary treatment is considered the first most invasive treatment undergone by the participant and is generally radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy (either external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy). For participants who chose watchful waiting or active surveillance, date of treatment is considered as the date the treatment decision is made.
Statistical analyses for this study will reflect the sampling design, the data collection process, and the research objectives as stated previously. Due to the typically highly skewed distributions of time to diagnosis or treatment, standard methods for transforming the time intervals such as the geometric mean or comparing median times, will be used in the analyses. Crude and adjusted logistic and multinomial regression analyses of dichotomous and ordinal outcomes respectively, will be used to assess the contribution that independent factors have on men's choice of treatment. We will also investigate the representativeness of the study cohort compared to the rest of the men diagnosed with prostate cancer by comparing the distributions of those clinical and demographic variables collected from the Queensland Cancer Registry.
Previous studies looking at patterns of diagnosis and treatment have focussed on the individual-level data, or ecological studies. In order to appropriately investigate whether the observed patterns are due to the characteristics of the cancer patients themselves, or the characteristics of the geographical areas in which the individuals live, it is important to be able to quantify the variation between areas in terms of their diagnostic and treatment profiles. Thus using a multilevel analytical design we can then determine whether the observed variation is due to the clustering of individuals (i.e. a composition effect) or the environmental characteristics of the areas (i.e. a context effect).
We have previously described the advantages of incorporating a multilevel perspective . We will use multilevel models to assess whether geographic remoteness and area-level disadvantage were associated with prostate cancer outcomes after controlling for individual-level socio-demographic characteristics. These models will be fitted using MLwiN version 2.15 (University of Bristol, United Kingdom).
There will be three stages in the model building process. The first is the null model that including individuals (level 1) nested in SLAs (level 2), there are no individual- or area-level variables in the fixed part of this model. If there is a significant SLA-level random term (indicated using Wald chi-square) then this is evidence supporting significant between-SLA variation in the prostate cancer outcome. Second, the null model will be extended by including individual-level factors (patient characteristics, disease stage, co-morbidity, and access to health care and treatment services) as fixed effects. This will inform us as to how much of the area-variation in prostate cancer outcomes is due to these individual-level (compositional) factors, and also assess the contribution of each individual-level factor. Thirdly, the area-level measures such as geographic remoteness and area socioeconomic disadvantage will be included in the model as fixed effects, to quantify how much of the area-variation in prostate cancer outcomes is due to these factors (independent of individual-level factors). Subsequent models will also consider the cross-level interactions between the individual-level and area-level factors.
Cohort sample sizes were initially determined in order to calculate differences in binomial proportions between two equally-sized subgroups. Assuming pooled variance, two-sided Z-test at 5% significance level, subgroup sample sizes of n = 500 men achieve 80% power to detect at least an absolute difference between the subgroup proportions of 9%.
Power calculations for the variation between and within area units (using Optimum Design software) are based solely on the approximate number of clusters (statistical local areas) and records per cluster. The study cohort covers 270 area units (SLAs), with between 1 and 66 (mean 3.9, median = 2) respondents in each unit. Assuming 270 clusters with an average of 4 records per cluster and a baseline proportion of 50%, this gives 80% power at 0.05% significance to detect a difference in proportions between two subgroups of 11%.
Prostate cancer is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality among Western populations, including Australia, and carries with it substantial individual and public health burden. Currently, little is known about the diagnostic and treatment patterns of men diagnosed with prostate cancer in this setting and the extent to which men who are diagnosed with this cancer have equitable access to different treatment options and follow up care. This lack of knowledge means that health services policy and planning strategies to manage this illness are to a large extent unguided by evidence. The present study will address this knowledge and evidence gap by investigating the diagnostic and treatment patterns of men diagnosed with prostate cancer in Queensland; assessing the extent to which these patterns systematically vary; and the area level and individual factors that contribute to any variation. We propose that this will provide a basis for advocacy for improvements in prostate cancer care and men's health in general.

SPOILER ALERT: Before you read this post, roast yourself a nice pig, pour yourself a bottle of wine (I suggest a fruity grenache with the pork), cork the bottle extremely tightly and watch last night’s Lost.
We can spend all day talking about the mythology and background revealed on “Ab Aeterno,” an intense episode of Lost–and I’m sure we will–but let’s say this first: fancy story aside, last night showed us a fine hour of acting, plain and simple.
I’ve seen Nestor Carbonell in a variety of roles on TV (from Bat Manuel in The Tick to the CBS soap Cane), and it’s not like he’s been a slouch as Richard on Lost. But until this season, he’s had to play Richard on a single, subdued, sustained note of enigmatic cool. In “Ab Aeterno,” he almost literally made Richard into another character, showing us the decent, desperate, heartbroken man who would be transformed over 140 years as Jacob’s ambassador on the Island.
It may have seemed like a lot of time spent to some viewers, but clearly Cuse and Lindelof thought they needed to show, not just tell, the circumstances that brought Richard to his current pass. And Carbonell sold it, embodied Ricardo’s horror as he lived through a Victorian-horror melodrama. Which is important, because they had to place us in the mindset of someone who believes, literally not figuratively, that he is actually in hell.
So are they in hell? (That, and Purgatory, were among the first theories fans spun about Lost.) Are they actually in danger, as Ghost Isabella says, of going to hell? No, but Ricardo has come to what he thinks of as hell, and to a place that someone of his era and mindset will naturally interpret as hell. Unlike, say, Hurley, a religious, penitent man living on the Canary Islands in 1867 has not read sci-fi or seen a monster movie in his life. If he ends up in a place where he sees horrors, where the dead come to life (and are seemingly killed again), and a thing made of smoke snatches men up to their death—well, that’s hell, case closed. Someone of another era will give it a different name.
It’s not hell–right?–but it is, “Ab Aeterno” told us more explicitly than ever, a metaphysical playing ground, where two forces are battling it out through human subjects, not unlike gods in Greek mythology. So what game are Jacob and Smokey/The Man in Black playing? We got the rough outline at the end of season 5–and fans have inferred or theorized most of the rest–but it was still a bit stunning to hear Jacob say it to Ricardo directly.
To wit: Smokey is imprisoned on the Island. He is a malevolent force–call him evil, call him hatred, call him the devil if you want–who, if released, would spread over the world like, well, black smoke. (Or wine. I like the idea of a Wine Monster.) Jacob brings people to the Island, where–whatever they have done in the past–they have a chance to choose good over evil. (He is, metaphorically, the producer of Lost.) Jacob believes people can choose good. Smokey believes (as he said in the season 5 finale) that they always go bad in the end. Smokey tries to manipulate and tempt them toward that end; Jacob believes they must choose of their own free will.
So far, so God-and-Devily. But what is “right and wrong” in the endgame of Lost, anyway? I’m glad, if this is the case, that the arc of the series is the characters’ redemption, and that they have agency to choose for themselves. Still, is their goodness going to be defined by which side they pick in this Island-god showdown? Why exactly, is it “good” to pick the jackass deity who strands innocent people in an Island hellhole over the jackass deity who deceives and or kills them once they get there? It’s better, maybe, but I’m not sure Jacob’s role in all this seems so holy. You crashed me on this terrifying rock so you could “prove [Smokey] wrong?” Have a freaking debate society and leave me out of it!
In any event, from “Ab Aeterno,” the notion of the Losties finally saying pox-on-both-your-houses and rejecting the whole cosmic game seems less likely. Though I still see signs that Smokey and Jacob may be more alike than they let on: it was certainly interesting to see that, when Smokey tried to enlist Ricardo to kill Jacob, he gave him the knife and the same speech that Dogen (not Jacob, but his servant) gave Sayid to get him to kill Smokey.
Those are all big-picture questions that (I will be a broken record here) are impossible to judge until the season and series are over. As an episode, “Ab Aeterno” again proved Lost’s ability to find the humanity in, and build a connection with, its most seemingly enigmatic characters. Hell of a job.
* Is it just me, or did Titus Welliver get direction to deliver his lines like Terry O’Quinn—or, specifically, as O’Quinn-as-Smokey-as-Locke? Whether intentional or coincidental, Welliver’s phrasing and manner made clear he and O’Quinn were playing the same character in different bodies. Nice work.
* So if Smokey gets off The Island, the world will become plagued with evil, hatred and malevolence. As opposed to…?
* And about Jacob: did he strike anyone else in the 1867 part of this story as more tough and hard-assed than we’ve seen him in the Island’s present? A bit of an Old Testament Jacob?
* I’ve been reading elsewhere about the parallels between the plot on the Island and Stephen King’s novels, especially The Stand, which at this point I am glad I haven’t read. But when the Man in Black took out the magic weapon and told Ricardo to kill his enemy, was I the only one reminded of HBO’s Carnivàle, and the murderous eternal war among the avatars?
* When Ricardo saw Isabella in the hold of The Black Rock, the inference was that this was actually Smokey appearing as Isabella to manipulate him. Presumably Smokey had access to Ricardo’s memories after examining and flash-photographing him, yes? I could look this up but I’m not going to: is this the first time we’ve seen Smokey manifest as a person who (unlike Locke, Yemi or Christian) had not physically been on the Island, even as a corpse?
* That CGI butterfly that fluttered into the Black Rock’s hold–I assume it’s significant, and I have no explanation for it. (My one theory, that the Island is actually Pandora from Avatar, is probably not too likely.) Speaking of CGI, credit to Lost for showing some scenes set on the ocean that did not look like a low-budget video game.
* OK, this may be immature, but was anyone else wondering if Hurley and Richard were going to share a kiss, a la Ghost, when Ricardo was visited by the shade of Isabella? It would have blown the moment, I suppose, but still.
* More seriously, when Isabella told Richard he’d suffered enough, were you thinking he was going to die? More to the point, were you, like me, hoping he would die, as a mercy to him? It’s a tribute to the show that it can cause a reaction like this to a character we’ve long known as one of the bad guys–or so, at least, we thought.

How to install Deep Tech Tronica - Sample Tools by Cr2 2 to my MAC OS X 10.11.6?
Hello, today I bought on your site "Deep Tech Tronica - Sample Tools by Cr2 2" and I can not understand how to install this package of sounds. which folder do I need to install? what is the name of the folder in which I need to move the contents of the package "Deep Tech Tronica - Sample Tools by Cr2 2"? Thank you for understanding!
The Deep Tech Tronica sounds package from Sample Tools by CR2 is mostly an audio samples library, except for the Sylenth 1 presets ( I come to that later ) meaning that the loops and individual sounds are audio files in WAV format to load as Audio into your DAW or within your preferred native sampler / plugin.
Therefore, you do not need to "install" anything for those audio files, just place the full folder on your hard drive where you want. Ideally, you would like to build your sound library on another hard drive than your system drive and preferably using a fast SSD drive, this could even be an external drive ( in case you would like to have a kind of portable sound library or if you can't add an extra internal hard drive in your computer ).
Then it's a matter of pointing the file browser from your DAW to that location in order to access your audio samples more friendly within your DAW of choice. In Logic X you have a file browser, in Ableton Live you can directly add a folder to your preferred location.
Now I can see on the store description that this pack contains also Sylenth 1 Presets, I can't tell if you're on a Mac or a PC but here are the default path that I know off under MacOS .
You have to make the difference with Sylenth SoundBanks ( full bank containing several presets ) which have a .FXB extension, and Sylenth Presets themselves which have a .FXP extension.
Note that by default ( depending of your MacOS Version ) the user Library is not always a "visible" folder , if it's hidden by default you can access it quickly by entering the Finder's "Go" menu and holding down the Option key.
Also take note that you can put your 3thrd party Sylenth SoundBanks or Presets anywhere on your HDD and access them through Sylenth 1 interface in your Daw, using the Load Presets or Load Bank from Sylenth's menu , but having them in the default location might be more comfortable.
Hope that can help, hopefully if you're on a Mac it will. Under Windows I can't tell you the Sylenth Presets folder location, but you can probably load Sylenth from your DAW, hit the menu and choose load Preset or load Bank and you will see where your browser will be pointing by default, it should be ok if standard install of Sylenth.

The State of Montana has had a long-standing disagreement with the federal government after the EPA shifted how it read and enforced a rule called the ‘Waters of the U.S.’ or WOTUS. Montana Attorney General’s offices spokesman John Barnes explains.
Montana and many other states filed lawsuits and ended up winning their case against the EPA which offered a new reading of WOTUS yesterday. According to Barnes, the new rule is much improved over the 2015 rule.

‘We are the world, we are the children, we are the ones to make a brighter day so let’s start giving’, is a jingle we have all grown up hearing. However, seldom do we all know how to bring this into practice. Engrossed in handling our own lives, we miss out on being able to contribute to the world in general, to make it a better place for today and tomorrow. Fortunatepeople.com is one such initiative taken up by ShaktyaveshaAvtaarPrabhu in promoting world peace through the perfect wishing wand, the Hare Krishna Mahamantra.
SrilaPrabhupada would often quote that the Hare Krishna Mahamantra is the only mantra that can grant us peace within and without. It is this mantra, which helps us connect with the Lord within us, who then reveals himself to us depending on our sincerity and surrender. So why not begin chanting the mantra with utmost dedication and encourage others to do so too?
In today’s new media dominant society, Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter and many more channels have become integral part of our lives. SrilaPrabhupada encouraged us to use everything in Krishna’s service, and what greater service can we render than encouraging people to chant the Mahamantra? Probably none.
The fortunatepeople.com website is where every visitor is encouraged to upload a video of theirs chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra.
This video will be uploaded on the website and counted for the 50k chants campaign. The aim of the initiative is to introduce people to Krishna Consciousness, encourage them to chant the mantra for peace and happiness, thereby sowing a seed of devotional service within their hearts.
With World Holy Name Week approaching in not less than a month, we should gear up and put in our share of contribution towards spreading the Holy Name worldwide and serving SrilaPrabhupada and Sri CaitanyaMahaprabhu in a way they would be most pleased.

From this humble beginning a story of Kiwi ingenuity emerged, with Liteweight Caravans growing to become an iconic New Zealand brand, which for over four decades led the country, and sometimes the world, in technical design and innovation. Liteweight produced more caravans than any other caravan manufacturer in New Zealand and, today more than 25 years after the factory closed, the majority of its caravans are still in use.
This is a story as much about people as it is of caravans, and the person at the heart of the story is Tek Jessen, Liteweight’s founder.

This is the story of how an acclaimed avant-garde artist quietly faded from view before being rediscovered aged 72, after decades without attention or interest from the art world or market.
The market is playing catch up, particularly for the earlier works. Just last week at Tefaf New York Spring, Lisson Gallery sold Untitled (Black Ceramic), two fired clay tiles from 1983, for $450,000 while at Frieze New York, Kayne Griffin Corcoran sold two works from the “White Light Band” series: one from the early 1990s (84” x 56”) for $400,000 and a smaller work (36” x 36”) from the late 1980s for $200,000.
Corse has been fixated with imbuing art with light since she was a student in the 1960s, a quest that has caused her to study quantum physics as well as pioneer new forms and media in art-making. Regardless, she has never been the subject of a major solo show—until now.
“It is kind of confounding that we were not aware of her work,” says Jessica Morgan, the director of Dia, which recently acquired four major paintings by Corse that will go on show as part of a long-term installation of her work at Dia: Beacon this month.
Morgan first came across Corse’s work in a 2011 exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego that was part of the California-county wide exhibition, Pacific Standard Time, entitled “Phenomenal: California Light, Space, Surface”.
While Corse’s work has, for decades, been in the permanent collections of museums including the Guggenheim, LACMA and the Menil Collection she nonetheless was a peripheral figure. “She was not only overlooked in America but completely unknown in Europe,” says Alex Logsdail, executive director of Lisson Gallery, which is currently showing new and old work by Corse in London (until 23 June).
The microsphere works are what Corse is best known for—paintings in which she embeds glass microspheres, a reflective material used in road markings, in order to give the work a light and life of its own. There will be a “jewel of a room” in the Whitney exhibition, focusing on the first “White Light” paintings Corse made in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The exhibition will then take two paths, tracking Corse’s move from painting “White Light” works in grids towards the “Inner Band” works she began making in the 1990s — a band which illuminates or recedes, depending on the viewer’s vantage point.
It will also focus on her use of black, which has become an important part of her work—finding ways to deal with color without always using black paint, such as the “Black Earth” series—rocks that she cast in clay to create surface ripples that reflect light, before firing. “There is an expansiveness and open-mindedness to her practice that I hope we can suggest in the show,” Conaty says.
Corse barely features in auction records. Since 1999 there have only been 40 works sold at auction, selling on average for a mere $771. On the private market, works range in price from $100,000 to above $500,000 for larger, earlier paintings, dealers say. “I’d say prices have gone up an average of 50% over the past eight years,” says David Maupin, co-founder of Lehmann Maupin.
Demand is principally focused on earlier works, and prices are dependent on size and condition—especially for the monochromatic works which tend to show wear more than busier, brighter works. “There were a number of decades in which the work wasn’t really selling for big numbers or to a huge mailing list, so now there’s a demand for work in great condition,” says Bill Griffin, director of Kayne Griffin Corcoran—which began representing Corse after the artist James Turrell insisted on the importance of her work. “Artists can point you in the direction of other great artists, and James has always championed her work,” Griffin says.
“It is confounding that we were not aware of Mary’s work,” Morgan says. “But, alas, that is the case with many artists—especially women.” Corse’s career stalled for several reasons. “Access to her work was limited for a number of reasons,” Griffin says. “She was working out West at a time when few people were paying attention; there was a gender bias; she has lived for a long time in Topanga Canyon—really in the wilderness.” Equally, Corse was adjacent to several major movements but not really part of any: she has plowed her own furrow.
Poor career management was another major factor. She was part of the Richard Bellamy stable in New York for a period of time, a dealer known both for his eye and for his finances (“I think he wanted his artists to suffer,” Corse told ARTnews in an interview last year).
More tumult came when Corse filed a motion for the return of works of art she made before 1980 from Ace Gallery, which had in 2013 filed a complicated bankruptcy case, as reported in the New York Times.
Now, three galleries now share representation of Corse—Lehmann Maupin since 2011; Kayne Griffin Corcoran since 2016; and Lisson Gallery since November last year. This is bringing her more opportunities not only to sell work but to show it—including projects she conceived decades ago such as The Cold Room, which she first imagined in the late 1960s but only installed last year at Kayne Griffin Corcoran. It is a light box suspended in a room in which the temperature is just above freezing: human senses are heightened in the cold, and Corse wanted to test the effect of that on the viewer’s perception.

Previous marijuana tax-revenue estimates were far too low, states a new report by the nonpartisan Grand Canyon Institute.
Arizona would raise about $72 million in revenue annually beginning in 2019 if voters make recreational marijuana legal in Arizona with an anticipated ballot initiative in 2016, says the report, published on the group's website.
Backers of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol announced August 19 that their planned ballot measure would raise at least $40 million a year for Arizona schools. The campaign, sponsored in part by the Marijuana Policy Project, claims to have gathered about 65,000 signatures already toward a citizens' initiative expected to appear on the ballot in November 2016.
The institute "finds that the revenue projections were conservative as proponents claimed," the GCI report states.
If the program were in effect now, sales of marijuana products would produce about $64 million in revenue annually, it says.
Backers of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol hold a prop check made out to the state for $40 million at an August 19 press conference.
"If the initiative were to make the ballot and be passed by voters," the report goes on, "the GCI expects 2019 to be the first year with a full rollout of retailers and at that point, due to inflation and population growth, the expected totals would be $72 million: with almost $29 million each to K-12 education and helping fund all-day Kindergarten, plus $14 million to the Dept. of Health Services."
The report begins by stating that the GCI, which has a 12-member board of directors made up of local leaders on both sides of the political aisle, neither supports nor opposes marijuana legalization.
"Our estimate was done conservatively so, if anything, it understates [total] revenue a bit — enough to give some wiggle room for administrative costs," Dave Wells, GCI research director and author of the report, tells New Times.
The Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol's proposal would create a Department of Marijuana Licenses and Control to oversee commercial marijuana operations, and the department would be financed through a number of fees called for in the proposal, Wells says.
In December, New Times revealed that the state Joint Legislative Budget Committee had prepared a report showing that a Democratic lawmaker's proposed initiative to legalize marijuana in Arizona probably would raise $48 million.
The GCI report is more in depth, looking at inflation, population growth, tourism, and other factors.

CONAKRY (Reuters) – Guinea President Alpha Conde named mining executive Mamady Youla as prime minister yesterday as part of a strategy to revive the West African nation’s ailing economy, the government announced.
Guinea is a major producer of bauxite, an aluminium ore, but growth has been hamstrung by a slump in metals prices and a two-year Ebola epidemic that killed more than 2,500 people and has driven away some investors.
Conde was re-elected to a second five-year term in a landslide victory in October, pledging to get Guineans back to work.
“The nomination of Mamady Youla, a senior Guinean executive in the private sector and administration, confirms President Alpha Conde’s new push to support job creation and training … and reinforce Guinean businesses,” a government statement said.
From 2004 until his appointment as prime minister, Youla served as managing director of Guinea Alumina Corporation. GAC, which possesses a bauxite concession in Guinea’s Boke region, is a subsidiary of Emirates Global Aluminium, owned by Abu Dhabi investment fund Mubadala and Investment Corporation of Dubai.
Prime Minister Mohamed Said Fofana and his government resigned on Wednesday, following a tradition in which presidents typically change their cabinets following election.
The government statement said Youla was expected to name new ministers in the coming days.

Cherries are not only yummy, but they are good for you as well. They contain fiber, natural sugars and many vitamins the body needs for good circulation and general overall health. They have been used in traditional eastern medicine for many year to fight inflammation in the body, particularly that which is associated to the painful condition gout. Gout is when there is too much uric acid in the system and it settles in a joint, usually the big toe or knee, but can affect any. Compounds in cherries help to reduce uric acid in the body.
Traditional folk medicine has made use of cherries to rid the body of inflammation, such as occurs with arthritis and gout.
Cherries’ long purported efficacy in reducing inflammation and pain is due largely to the fruit’s cyanidine content.
Beta-amyloid plaques, a known precursor of Alzheimer’s disease, are mitigated by the phenolic compounds found in cherries.

Text of Tony Abbott’s speech to the Young Liberal convention.
One of the most dramatic incidents in Russell Crowe’s recent film, Master and Commander – the Far Side of the World, involves a choice between saving a life and saving the ship. Crowe hacks away the wreckage of a fallen mast to which one of his sailors is clinging because the alternative to losing a man overboard is losing the entire ship. There’s no sense in the film that Crowe was choosing his life over the sailor’s. Rather, he was making the bitter but necessary decision to put the lives of the ship’s company ahead of the lives of any of its crew.
The tension between a leader’s simultaneous but different responsibilities to corporate and individual interests is further explored when the Commander’s friend requires medical treatment only possible on land just as the frigate’s quarry is at last in sight. This time, there is no unavoidable, either/or choice, so Crowe temporarily abandons the pursuit to save his friend. Again, there’s no sense that Crowe has put his friend before his country. Rather, he has an instinctive yet conscientious appreciation of the circumstances in which an individual’s interests should come first.
The film is a fine exploration of the complexities of command. It’s been widely and justly reviewed as cinema at its best. The film illustrates how traits which might be heroic virtue in an individual can be self-indulgent moral posturing in a leader. The Commander is not just an effective and successful leader but a good and honourable one too. No doubt journalists, academics and activists attended the film and barracked for Crowe in similar proportion to the rest of the population. But if Crowe had played an Australian prime minister handling contemporary challenges in much the same way, it’s all-but-certain the moral guardians would have damned him for having blood on his hands, sacrificing another to save himself and looking after his influential mate rather than everyone else.
If it’s possible to appreciate the strong moral case for Russell Crowe’s Captain Jack Aubrey, why not the moral case for the Howard Government? If it’s possible to accept that, in the stern circumstances of Napoleonic era naval warfare, a captain had to be firm to be fair, why not also accept that, in dealing with rogue states, terrorism, and challenges to the long-term survival of the nation, compassion is a fine thing for individuals but a most uncertain guide for governments? There is a moral case to be made for the policies of the Howard Government such as Work for the Dole, the war in Iraq, the mandatory detention of illegal boat people along with much else which is supposed to indicate its heartlessness. But it’s a much harder and more complex argument than that which holds that the proper role of government is to play the Good Samaritan on an epic scale.
To some, the moral quality of a government which has stood up for Australian values, stood by Australia’s friends and delivered more jobs, higher pay and lower taxes to the Australian people is self-evident. Political conservatives, in particular, have a tendency to think that facts like these speak for themselves; that rhetoric is redundant. On the other hand, in the absence of argument and reassurance, a sceptical public could conclude that the good the Government has done happened by accident or conspiracy – especially given the ferocious public muggings which seem to be the inescapable fate of all conservative leaders.
Understandably, Australians prefer people whose virtue is uncomplicated. Doctors and nurses, for instance, whose life-saving work is unambiguously good, typically rate over 80 per cent in polls judging the ethics and honesty of different occupations. Policeman and judges, whose work is no less necessary in a functioning society but who often have to make the best of a bad lot, typically rank about 60 per cent for ethics and honesty. In a society where “Jack’s as good as his master”, scepticism about politicians is understandable but an ethics and honesty rating of just 17 per cent suggests that most people haven’t thought through the “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” nature of the political process.
Of course, more than any other occupation, politicians have a strong vested interest in running each other down. What’s more, in journalists, they have their own natural reputational predators. Not for nothing have journalists been dubbed the “fourth estate”. Even so, the Howard Government attracts far more than the usual political vitriol. To most of its critics, the Howard Government is not just mistaken but morally illegitimate.
In his role as the Sydney Morning Herald’s chief political correspondent, Geoff Kitney would not write a column that he did not believe was professionally detached and politically impartial. He is no David Marr or Anne Summers. Nevertheless, his judgment of the Howard Government (in his January 10 column) is that it has “legitimised” attacks on multiculturalism, black welfare and dole bludgers, “sidelined” the community interest, equity and minority rights and made Australia “more selfish and less tolerant”. He obviously thinks this view is self-evident because counter arguments about national unity, the side-effects of the welfare system, and the importance of a strong civic culture are simply ignored.
Kitney’s conclusion that the thrice-elected Australian Prime Minister is a mean man leading a mean people is actually quite mild by commentariat standards. The former Lord Mayor of Brisbane described the Prime Minister as the “Goebbels of Australia” (quoted by Gerard Henderson in the SMH of December 30). The writer Craig McGregor (in the SMH of December 22) ranked Howard as one of our ten most important people, but only because “whatever you think of him…he brings out the worst in Australians”.
In his farewell column for the Herald (SMH 16/1/04), Kitney returned to the theme: “To those who hate (Howard)”, he said, “it’s the dishonest way they believe he has achieved (his success), more than anything else, that incites their fury…It’s demonstrably true” he declared “that Howard and his Government have, on a number of documented occasions, parted company with the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth…Even viewed generously, there is clear evidence of an elasticity with the truth. Viewed from the moral high ground it’s blatant, systematic dishonesty without apology”.
To anyone who has ever sought to have a correction published in a newspaper, this must seem an extraordinary burst of self-righteousness. Interestingly, politicians’ ethics and honesty rating has improved since the time of the Keating Government (which attracted nothing like the journalistic bile) from 9 to 17 per cent. As newspaper journalists’ ethics and honesty rating has increased from 8 to just 12 per cent over the same period, it’s tempting to dismiss Kitney’s indignation as a bad case of the pot calling the kettle black – tempting but mistaken because there’s a pathological side to much of the anti-Howard rage.
To Kitney’s ilk, if any proof of the Government’s dishonesty is needed, there’s always “children overboard”. But government ministers didn’t make up the claim that boat people had thrown their children into the water. It was based on official advice at the time. When doubts emerged about that advice, it was not unreasonable to seek official clarification and, in the meantime, to maintain the status quo. To many people, the distinction between throwing children into the sea and scuttling the ship on which the children were travelling seemed trivial, revealing more about the moralising of the media than the integrity of the Government.
Politicians shouldn’t tell lies. But some information (about private conversations and private lives, national security and Cabinet discussions, for instance) is necessarily confidential no matter how much journalists (and possibly their readers) might like to know. Governments shouldn’t break promises but if circumstances change in ways that make keeping a commitment wrong, a full explanation should be given to the electorate. In a perfect world, governments would not make promises which are overtaken by events – but no-one inhabits that world except Kitney’s sanctimonious moral guardians.
To his credit, Kitney briefly considers the paradox of a systematically dishonest government led by a prime minister with a strong reputation for trustworthiness – before concluding that ordinary voters don’t mind being misled in a good cause. Perhaps the gulf Kitney senses is that between professional fault-finders and those for whom good intentions and good outcomes are more important than a good story.
Moral courage is not doing what’s right when everyone else agrees. Moral courage is doing what’s right when people who should know better declare you’re wrong. By this test, the Howard Government has repeatedly demonstrated that it’s worthy of the Australian people’s trust. To those accustomed to pass political judgment, tax reform was impossible, the incorporation of East Timor in Indonesia irreversible, Work for the Dole immoral and the flow of refugee boats unstoppable – and many haven’t forgiven the Government for showing them up. It’s hard for any eight-year-old government to seem original but, in this Government’s case, the resentment of the moral guardians whose orthodoxies have been debunked and whose values have been usurped poses as big a threat to its re-election as the it’s time factor.
Everything that the politically correct establishment most dislikes about the Howard Government – its reluctance to see equivalent right and wrong on all sides, its preference for action over dialogue alone, and its readiness to support traditional allies – was present in the decision to wage war against Saddam Hussein.
Sending troops into battle is by far the weightiest decision that a government can make. As the critics constantly point out, war means that innocent people die. Unfortunately, any peace which leaves tyrants in charge also means that innocent people die. Pacifism is an honourable course of action for an individual prepared to suffer the consequences of turning the other cheek. But requiring collective non-resistance is complicity in evil. It’s an odd moral universe where the accidental killing of Iraqis by soldiers of the Western alliance is worse than the deliberate killing of Iraqis by Saddam Hussein or where it’s immoral to risk hundreds of Western lives to save hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives – unless, of course, it’s only the West’s actions which matter and only Western lives which count.
By any standards, Saddam Hussein ran an evil regime. He had invaded his neighbours, used poison gas on his own people, funded terrorists and harboured Abu Nidal. As the secret burial grounds now reveal, he is the world’s biggest mass murderer since Pol Pot (and who complained when the Vietnamese army removed him?).
Weapons of mass destruction were never the only justification for Australia’s participation in the Iraq war. Even so, if they had all been destroyed, as the critics now allege, why couldn’t Saddam explain the fate of the poison gas stores the UN had discovered as recently as 1998? As Kevin Rudd declared to the Zionist Association of Victoria 15 months ago, “Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction. That is a matter of empirical fact” – and there’s no reason to think that the Iraqi desert has yet yielded up all its secrets. Again, it’s an odd moral universe where a government is condemned for “going to war on a lie” when noone (including the critics) thought it was a lie at the time.
The Government is often accused of being poll-driven. For good reasons, there is no such thing as a popular war. The Government sent Australian forces into action in the teeth of public opinion and without a final Security Council resolution because it would have been morally contemptible to leave the struggle for freedom to others. Serious governments don’t shirk their responsibilities. By shouldering previously inconceivable burdens in East Timor, Afghanistan, the Solomon Islands and now PNG as well as Iraq, the Government has demonstrated (unlike the contemporary Labor Party) that it takes to heart Ben Chifley’s “light on the hill” injunction to work for the betterment of mankind not just here but wherever we can lend a helping hand.
People don’t demand miracles from governments but they do expect them to be “fair dinkum” about solving urgent problems. For years, governments had been trying to stem the flow of illegal boat people into Australia. The former Labor Government introduced mandatory detention but it didn’t work because it wasn’t rigorously applied.
As one of the few countries in the world with a formal refugee resettlement programme, Australia is entitled to pose the question: why should those illegally trying the back door take the places of those who apply to come in the correct way? If arriving in Australia and claiming refugee status all-but-guarantees permanent residency, boat people will continue to come. The Government’s policies are not about stopping refugees entering Australia but stopping people-smugglers putting lives at risk in unseaworthy boats. Indeed, the surest way to prevent dreadful tragedies at sea (such as that which befell the occupants of SIEV X) is to remove the incentive for people smuggling.
Invariably, boat people have moving stories – but so do nearly all the world’s “poor, huddled masses, yearning to be free” and how many of them can Australia realistically take? The problem for critics of the existing policy is that they demand an end to mandatory detention and want temporary protection visa holders allowed in permanently but won’t admit that this amounts to a declaration that if you can get here you can stay here – something an independent country can never accept.
Provided they are fed, housed, clothed, protected and dealt with as swiftly as an appeals process will allow, there is nothing inherently immoral in the mandatory detention of illegal entrants. People in Australian detention centres are safe from the violence and persecution they may have been subject to in their homelands. They receive the best possible health care even when they inflict harm on themselves. Even while in detention, their children are educated, usually at normal Australian schools. The Government has implemented alternative detention options for women and children but there are limits to how far this can be taken without breaking up families or effectively abandoning the detention of illegal arrivals. The Australian Government is no more to blame for the plight of people in immigration detention centres than it is for the plight of anyone else facing the consequences of failing to obey the law.
Of course, people living in the Middle East (especially as members of minority groups) can hardly be blamed for wanting to migrate to countries which are prosperous and safe. But the ultimate difference between Australia and the countries from which boat people flee is the rule of law – to which unauthorised arrivals are a constant challenge. Australian law does not give everyone who arrives here the right to stay here and it’s inconceivable that it ever will. Due process has to be followed. Asylum seekers have to demonstrate that they have a well founded fear of persecution or, after normal channels have been exhausted, that it would be inhumane not to let them stay. It’s human nature to prefer the strictures of the law when they apply to someone else. Still, a government which respects due process is being responsible rather than heartless.
The same tendency to will the end but not the means – to want the result but to shrink from what’s necessary to make it happen – characterises most criticism of the Government’s Work for the Dole programme. Everyone thinks unemployment is too high but many commentators support policies which would actually make it worse. For most unemployed people, lack of training is not the problem because training is nearly always available (albeit at a price). Lack of jobs is not always the key problem either, because new jobs are mostly filled by people who are already employed. Unemployment becomes intractable when, for all sorts of reasons (among them, the cost of getting to work, anti-social hours, interference with other commitments and comparatively low returns), working can seem more trouble than it’s worth.
The only way to tackle structural unemployment is to make work more attractive than the alternative. The Howard Government has increased wages and increased the returns from working but it has also expected unemployed people to take their obligations seriously. Work for the Dole embodies the view that government’s duties to the unemployed haven’t displaced unemployed people’s obligations to the community. Even the “victims” of a market economy retain significant capacity to help themselves. The Labor Party initially attacked Work for the Dole as “almost evil” and still wants to “reform” it out of existence but it has been overwhelmingly popular with everyone who understands that paying people to do nothing is not the best way to get them back to work.
It’s to Australian society’s credit that people agonise over armed conflict (even in a just cause) and fret over the side-effects of policies (even when they plainly work). Still, not everything which troubles people’s consciences is intrinsically wrong and much that is right has fearsome cost. It’s not really surprising that, in rich and comfortable societies, moral vanity should be more common than moral commitment but the “not in my name” brigade don’t understand that avoiding hard choices is a luxury governments don’t have.
There’s little point arguing with people theologically convinced that the Howard Government is evil but it’s still important to challenge their critique lest more fair-minded people conclude that the Government is effective but dishonourable. De Tocqueville once commented that America is great because America is good and that, if America ever ceased being good, it would also cease being great. Although there’s not the same self-conscious high-mindedness in Australia’s political culture, we much prefer our leaders to be decent human beings rather than political fixers.
The Prime Minister once said that he wanted the Government to under promise and over deliver. This is entirely in keeping with the character of the Australian electorate but not its political class. Awareness of the limitations of government and the imperfectability of man, consciousness of the shades of grey which are part and parcel of the human condition, respect for values and institutions which have stood the test of time, a sense of the importance of family and cultural bonds, a belief in the value of ritual and tradition, but above all else conviction of the responsibilities that everyone has to others (however flawed our understandings might be): these are the instincts which drive the Howard Government but not, by and large, the people who pass judgment on public life.
Inevitably, the people who talk about politics are more interested in this month’s promise than last year’s performance. A new Labor leader is much better copy than a government now eight years old. But it’s the Government’s participation in the “culture wars” which has most put out its habitual critics. Especially in an election year, the moral case for the Howard Government ought to be made, not because it never makes mistakes or never has an unworthy thought, but because the best government since Bob Menzies’ deserves a fair trial.
Success is not its own justification but does weigh in the balance of moral judgment. The end does not justify the means but there is a moral quality to success in a good cause. Moralists will continue to question how the fall of Saddam, the liberation of East Timor, effective border protection and the sustained reduction in unemployment have been brought about – but they can’t deny the moral seriousness of the government which helped to make them happen.

A woman's 2 ovaries are located on each side of the uterus, just below the opening of the fallopian tubes (tubes that extend from the uterus to near the ovaries).
The ovaries contain the egg cells needed for reproduction. They also make estrogen and progesterone. These affect many of the female characteristics and reproductive functions. Estrogens also play an important role in bone health and strength. The levels of estrogen and progesterone are controlled by certain hormones made by the pituitary gland.
The 2 testes are oval-shaped organs that hang suspended in a pouch of skin (scrotum) outside the male body.
The testes are the site of sperm production. They also make testosterone and other hormones. These affect many of the male characteristics and support sperm production. Testosterone also plays an important role in bone health and strength.
