Never question my wife on issues of early American / British history... she'll win.
I've also been playing around with how my SB-400 flash works with my new 50mm.
At the end of our Forces topic the children wrote everything they remembered on post-it-notes and posted them on the board.

When we view compensation in service sectors vs. manufacturing, we see that what really makes a difference in the rate of wage growth is the "factor intensity" of the work. In both manufacturing and services, when knowledge is the most important input, pay has risen fastest. Pay for workers rose more slowly when the skill levels required were lower or where the most important factor was capital investment.
The Tree of Knowledge
The little town of Barcaldine (bar–call-din) is pretty much smack in the middle of Queensland and about two days drive from Brisbane. It is in the heart of sheep country which has had a lot to do with its social history. It is known by some as “The Big Left Turn”. The spot where the Matilda Highway heading north finally makes a left turn to the west and becomes the Landsborough Highway.
Barcaldine was also at the heart of a major development in the fabric of the Australian society. It was the location for many gatherings of shearers in the 1880’s where for the first time Australian workers began to organise themselves in response to action by the squatters (landowners) to lower pay rates for shearers. Eventually the Australian Workers Union was formed and with it the momentum for the creation of a political arm, the Australian Labour Party.
Much of this discussion took place under a Paperbark tree on the edge of Barcaldine. This tree became known as The Tree of Knowledge. The tree held a special significance and given its age (about 200 years) much effort was put into ensuring its survival. In 2006 it was deliberately poisoned. The decision was made to preserve the tree. It was removed and essentially embalmed. It was then replaced at its original location and enclosed in an open box structure. Inside the structure the foliage of the tree is made up of timber beams suspended from wire ropes. These beams are recycled communication transmission poles from South Australia. The whole thing is a striking monument and comes alive at night from some clever lighting effects. It is also something of a wind chime and a reasonable breeze will have these 5,000 odd 6 metre long 100x100mm beams gently bumping together to produce some deeper harmonious notes and if one is there late at night when the street is quiet and one listens really hard enough, then one can hear very faintly the strident voices of those long gone shearers as they made their case for a fair go for all Australians

For those who have gotten wind of current defamation and untruthful claims against *ES* and our pose store in copying poses from a rival pose store we filed a DMCA giving us the right to show all evidence of our creations upload dates etc etc filing a DMCA (which is a proper legal channel for any content theft..not just copyright =p covered under the act of the DMCA) in showing just the opposite..that the accusers have copied poses from *ES*.
The reason Linden Lab has this process is to hold providers liable for creations unique to individuals and items they create in SL. Just like skins or clothes which are not copyrighted in most cases.
The Blog below is written by an SL member who understands what DMCA's are. It further explains the DMCA process and issues we have gone through in our name being defamed. We urge you to read. Should anyone have questions you may feel free to IM us in-world or drop us a flickrmail.

Agencia de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea, Agence des Droits Fondamentaux de l'Union Européenne, Agenzia dell'Unione Europea per i Diritti Fondamentali
The Agentur der Europäischen Union für Grundrechte (FRA, english European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights), based in Vienna, is an expert commission established of the European Union (EU) that is to oversee the protection of fundamental rights in Europe. Legal basis for the Agency is the EU Council Regulation 168/2007 of 15 February 2007. Its predecessor organization was the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC).
Unlike as with the EUMC, who had only to supervise the occurrence of racism and xenophobia, links the mandate of the FRA on the fundamental rights in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Due to the Multiannual Framework 2007-2012 given by the EU Council Decision 2008/203/EC of 28 February 2008, the Agency is dedicated to the following themes:
Racism, xenophobia and related intolerance;
Discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation and against persons belonging to minorities and any combination of these grounds (multiple discrimination);
Compensation of victims;
Children's rights including protection of children;
Asylum, immigration and integration of migrants;
Visa and border control;
Participation of EU citizens in the democratic functioning of the EU;
Information society and especially respect for privacy and protection of personal data;
Access to efficient and independent justice.
The Agency shall provide scientific studies that inform the EU institutions, Member States, candidate countries and potential candidates for EU membership and the public about possible irregularities and possible solutions. Furthermore, the agency advises the EU institutions in the European legislation. Individual complaints against violations of fundamental rights does not handle the FRA, however; this is the task of the European Court of Human Rights.
Organization
The Agency has the following organs:
Board of Directors
Executive Committee
Scientific Committee
Director
The Board of Directors is the planning and monitoring body of the Agency. Its members include personalities with experience in the management of organizations in the public or private sector and knowledge in the field of fundamental rights. It shall be composed of one designated by each Member State independent person, an appointed by the Council of Europe independent person and two representatives of the European Commission.
The Executive Committee prepares the decisions of the Management Board and assists and advises the Director. It consists of the Chairman and the Deputy Chairman of the Management Board, two other members of the Management Board as well as a representative of the European Commission in the Board. The person appointed by the Council of Europe in the Management Board may attend the meetings of the Executive Committee.
The Scientific Committee guarantees the scientific quality of the FRA. It is composed of eleven independent and in fundamental rights highly qualified people. The Board of Directors shall appoint the members following a transparent call for applications and selection procedure.
The FRA is headed by a Director who is responsible for the carrying out of the tasks of the Agency and for personnel matters. Following a public tender and a selection process in which the EU institutions were involved, the Board of Directors decided on 7 March 2008 to appoint Morten Kjærum from Denmark as the first Director of the Agency. He took up his post on 1 June 2008..
In addition, the FRA has a Fundamental Rights Platform over which it cooperates with selected civil society organizations. Criticism
The human rights organization Amnesty International (AI) criticized at the beginning the opened on 1 March 2007 EU Fundamental Rights Agency. AI Europe Bureau Chief Dick Oosting particularly critized the excessively limited mandate of the agency, because "the EU countries do not want to be interfered when it comes to human rights policy". Other voices saw in the creation of the Agency a duplication of tasks that were already done by the Council of Europe or the OSCE. However, the specific areas of responsibility of these organizations overlap only marginally, and representatives of organizations welcomed that now could be even more efficient proceeded against discrimination together. For this, an agreement on cooperation between the FRA with the Council of Europe was concluded in August 2008.

The exhibition Uncertain States of America has been prepared as a survey of recent developments in American contemporary art by three of Europe’s leading curators: Daniel Birnbaum, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Gunnar B. Kvaran. First shown at The Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in Oslo (October 2005), this project comprises a remarkably succinct compilation of recent evolutions in painting, sculptures, video and other artistic forms used by the new generation of American artists. Uncertain States of America offers an expanded look at a series of major installations by an emerging generation of artists (most of them were born after 1970). Their source material derives not only from today’s media-saturated world, free-form use of new materials, techniques and procedures which permeate each other and are juxtaposed, but also a canny knowledge of new art-historical references and an ability to respond in a complex and sophisticated way with a various extent of personal commitment as well as a certain distance in an age of political and social dissonances. Uncertain States of America is the result of an extensive, two-year, research project by the curators, who conducted more than 500 studio visits throughout the United States, compiling over 2000 files on young American artists. Their selections reflect an astute, yet contentious, assessment of the current state of American art and culture. “The exhibition is not entirely American—influences come from everywhere,” state the curators. “In a period where the official political culture of the United States is viewed with great skepticism on the other side of the Atlantic, it seems important to remind ourselves of the complexity and at the same time the variety of the American artistic scene. The ‘Uncertain States of America’ are not only uncertain, they are many.”
