Steen Barnes is a local surfer and photographer that I know from the Illawarra RedBubble group and he wrote a journal entry about the planned security fence around the area between the Port Kembla Coal Terminal and Ollies beach.
From Steen's Red Bubble journal entry :
"Alot of my surfing pictures, are taken locally here…..so i need some help if at all possible please read and check website to help, proudly all the photo’s on the site are my own
The latest expansion to the Port of Port Kembla comes at a huge expense tothe local community whom will be locked out of the foreshore area on the northern side of the harbour forever. A range of recreational users including surfers, fisherman, swimmers, walkers, photographers, dogwalkers, and cyclists has been enjoying access to this area for over 30 years. The surf break is known to many as “Oilies”. On 1 November 2008 the current proposal will see security gates erected outside the Sydney Water Wollongong Sewerage Treatment Plant on Port Kembla Road, Wollongong locking out all non-business related traffic to the Port and also the foreshore area. The proposed closure is based on dubious security grounds and has involved no public consultation. Whilst there is recognition of the Ports need for security and the important role that the Port plays in economic terms for the Illawarra and the broader national economy, opportunities exist to secure the facility whilst still permitting the community access to the foreshore area.
The proposed closure is contrary to the State Government Policy of maintaining community access to foreshore areas and when the gates go in this part of the foreshore will be lost to the community forever.
This area has thousands of users whom will be displaced and an IRIS survey conducted on behalf of the Port Kembla Coal Terminal found that on an average summer weekend there are 165 vehicle trips per day to the foreshore in this area and this is without any promotion.
The State Governments policy on urban consolidation will see increased residential densities throughout the Illawarra with a particular emphasis on more multistorey residential developments going in around the Wollongong City centre. This increase in population density will place more pressure on the finite resources of the foreshore areas. The community needs more foreshore area for recreation not less.The latest State and Local Government initiative with the Blue Mile needs to be extended to go the extra mile and secure foreshore access for the community in perpetuity. It is also incumbent upon industry to be good neighbours and respond to the needs of the community rather than being solely motivated by self-interest.
A simple long term solution exists to ensure that this foreshore area is retained in public ownership with free access to all.
What needs to happen is that the Port boundary (a line on a piece of paper) needs to be changed to exclude the foreshore area in this locality and the publically owned private road needs to be dedicated back to Council as a public road. The proposed security gates could moved further south along Port Kembla Road ensuring security to the Port is maintained but not at the expense of public access to the foreshore.
The land in question is already in public ownership as it is owned by the State Government whom control the Port Kembla Port Authority. Come on community – now is the time to put pressure on our State politicians to show some leadership and get community access to the foreshore area secured for generations.
We feel that this matter needs to be brought to the attention of the wider community before this important community asset is lost forever.

"This is a local surfspot here in Wollongong. The gong’s premier surfers breed in this area. Its highly industrial, but has some perfect waves to offer an already limited coastline. The state Governement has decided to take this foreshore area away from the public forever. Fisherman, bikeriders, photographers, surfers etc are about to be badly done by. We need help from the wider world community. We have a website www.saveoilies.org there is a petition there that i would love everybody who reads this to sign. it only takes a minute to save a future. So if you can support us please visit
and sign our petition..
thanks soooo much"

Attachment theory describes several behavioural systems, the function of which is to regulate human attachment, fear, exploration, care-giving, peer-affiliation and sex. Attachment is defined as any form of behaviour that results in a person attaining and retaining proximity to a differentiated other. The primary caregiver is the source of the infants stress regulation and, therefore, sense of safety and security. Attachment theory emphasises the role of the parent as mediator, reflector and moderator of the childs mind and the childs reliance on the parent to respond to their affective states in ways that are contingent to their internal experience, a process often referred to as secure base/safe haven functioning. Within the close parent-child relationship neural networks dedicated to feelings of safety and danger, attachment and the core sense of self are sculpted and shaped. These networks are conceptualised as internal working models of attachment.
Characteristic patterns of interaction operating within the familys caregiving-attachment system give rise to secure, insecure and disorganized patterns of attachment. These discrete patterns have been categorized using the Strange Situation research procedure, which observes the young childs behaviour when separated and reunited with his or her primary caregiver. Attachment patterns are represented in the childs internal working models of self-other relationships. Secure attachment is promoted by the interactive regulation of affect, which facilitates the recognition, labelling and evaluation of emotional and intentional states in the self and in others, a capacity known as reflective function or mentalization. The recognition of affects as having dynamic, transactional properties is the key to understanding behaviour in oneself and in another. The child comes to recognize his or her mental states as meaningful self-states via a process of parental affect mirroring and marking. Secure children are able to use sophisticated cognitive strategies to integrate and resolve their fear of separation and loss.
When the parent is unavailable, inconsistent or unpredictable, the infant develops one of two organized insecure patterns of attachment: avoidant or ambivalent-resistant. These defensive strategies involve either the deactivation or hyper-activation of the attachment system. Deactivation is characterized by avoidance of the caregiver and by emotional detachment. In effect, the avoidant child immobilizes the attachment system by excluding thoughts and feelings that normally activate the system. Hyper-activation is manifested by an enmeshed ambivalent preoccupation with the caregiver and with negative emotions, particularly anger. However, in common with the avoidant child, the ambivalent child appears to cognitively disconnect feelings from the situation that elicited the distress. Disorganised-disoriented attachment is discussed below.
Attachment research, then, demonstrates that discrete patterns of secure, insecure, and disorganized attachment have as their precursor a specific pattern of caregiver-infant interaction and their own behavioural sequelae. Repeated patterns of interpersonal experience are encoded in implicit-procedural memory and conceptualized as self-other working models of attachment. These mental models consist of generalized beliefs and expectations about relationships between the self and key attachment figures, not the least of which concerns ones worthiness to receive love and care from others.
In sum, the care-giving environment generally, and the infant-caregiver attachment relationship particularly, initiate the child along one of an array of potential developmental pathways. Disturbance of attachment is the outcome of a series of deviations that take the child increasingly further from adaptive functioning. Child abuse and cumulative developmental trauma violate the childs sense of trust, identity and agency and have pernicious and seminal influences on the developing personality. In essence, internal working models of early attachment relationships provide the templates for psychopathology in later life, which may include violent, destructive and self-destructive forms of behaviour. In attachment theory, the main purpose of defence is the regulation of emotions. The primary mechanisms for achieving this are distance regulation and the defensive exclusion of thoughts and feelings associated with attachment trauma.
Early trauma in the form of abuse, loss, neglect and severe parent-child misattunement compromises brain-mediated functions such as attachment, empathy and affect regulation. From an attachment theory perspective, patterns of attachment are encoded and stored as generalized relational patterns in the systems of implicit memory. These are conceptualized as cognitive-affective internal working models which are seen as mediating how we think and feel about ourselves, others and the relationships we develop. Although open to change and modification in the light of new attachment experiences, whether positive or negative, these non-conscious procedural models, scripts or schemas within which early stress and trauma are retained, tend to persevere and guide, appraise and predict attachment-related thoughts, feelings and behaviours throughout the life cycle via the implicit memory system. Psychopathology is seen as deriving from an accumulation of maladaptive interactional patterns that result in character traits and personality types and disorders.
Disorganised attachment may occur when the childs parent is both the source of fear and the only protective figure to whom to turn to resolve stress and anxiety. In such instances, neither proximity seeking nor proximity avoiding is a solution to the activation of the childs attachment and fear behavioural systems. If the trauma remains unresolved and is carried into adulthood, it leaves the individual vulnerable to affect dysregulation in interpersonal conflict situations that induce fear, hate, shame and rage. In such cases, alcohol and illicit drugs are often resorted to as a maladaptive means of suppressing dreaded psychobiological states and restoring a semblance of affective equilibrium.
Findings show that disorganised attachment developed in infancy shifts to controlling behaviour in the older child and adult, reflecting an internalized mental model of the self as unlovable, unworthy of care and support, and fearful of rejection, betrayal and abandonment. Disorganised attachment is associated with a predisposition to relational violence, to dissociative states and conduct disorders in children and adolescents, and to personality disorders in adults. This state of mind constitutes a primary risk factor for the development of borderline, anti-social and sociopathic personality disorders. The rate of such disorders in forensic settings is particularly high. Clinically, dissociated traumatic experience is unsymbolized by thought and language, being encapsulated within the personality as a separate, non-reflective reality which is cut off from authentic human relatedness. The information contained in implicit memory may be retrieved by state-dependent moods and situations. Dissociated archaic internal working models are then activated, influencing and distorting expectations of current events and relationships outside of conscious awareness, particularly in situations involving intense interpersonal stress. In such situations, the self is felt to be endangered, thereby increasing the risk of an angry and potentially violent reaction.

Cairo, 2005
That's a security guard watching over crowds enjoying the Great Pyramids.
I traveled to Egypt by myself but as part of an escorted tour. One of our companions everywhere the bus went while in Cairo was a dapper fellow, who, briefly, opened his jacket to reveal the gun he was carrying underneath. That actually made us feel more, rather than less, secure.
Day 112/365
Week 14 Theme: Something Mexican (hey I was born in Mexico, so this counts)
* We all have a story to tell. Our life story. It is an even better story when the after is better than the before. That is my story. I grew up in a very secure home. My parents loved me and raised me in a nurturing home. I had a great sister and 2 older brothers to look up to. It wasn't perfect, but it was a safe and secure Christian home. My parents were even missionaries to Mexico. They weren't rich monetarily but they made up for it in their love for us kids.Yet even at an early age I knew that no matter how secure my home and family were, I was not secure. I knew that I was not worthy of a perfect and Holy God. Even my little egotistical actions and lies of a kid were enough to keep me from His presence. I also knew that He loved me so much that he sent Christ to come die for those sins. I just wasn't sure what I could do. So, I asked the best theologian I knew - my dad. He explained that it was as simple as asking God to forgive my sins and accept Him as my Savior. It was that simple. Simple enough for me to grasp it that day many years ago. That day God saved me and became my friend for eternity. I'd be lying if I said all has been great since then. I've had many years of anger toward God. But that had nothing to do with God, it was when my ideas of what He was supposed to do interfered with his plans for my life. It was also when I looked at others as my exclusive role models and ended up being disappointed by them. Christians aren't perfect, we have just accepted His forgiveness. I being one of the most imperfect, sinful people out there. Yet when I have let Him control my life and lead me, I have had incredible peace and security! No matter what happens to me, I know He is in control and has me by the hand leading and protecting me. In Him I am completely Secure!

Members of the Georgia State Defense Force (GSDF) inspect a Georgia Army National Guard MEDEVAC helicopter during a training exercise Nov. 3, 2012. The GSDF is at the Georgia Garrison Training Center in Hinesville, Ga., for this year’s AT where many of its approximately 650 volunteers have come together from across the state to develop their Mission Essential Task Lists (METLs) during a training scenario which features a downed aircraft, lost and injured persons, and potentially even illegal narcotics and weapons. The Georgia Army National Guard’s 78th Aviation Troop Command provided one of its MEDEVAC helicopters and a crew from Company C, 1-111th General Support Aviation Battalion, to help make the training as realistic as possible.

Macau Tower Convention & Entertainment Centre also known as Macau Tower, is a tower located in the Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. Macau used to be a Portuguese colony until 1999. The tower measures 338 m in height from ground level to the highest point. An observation deck with panoramic views, restaurants, theaters, shopping malls and the Skywalk X, a thrilling walking tour around the outer rim. It offers the best view of Macau and in recent years has been used for a variety of adventurous activities. At 233 meters, the Macau Tower's tethered "skyjump" and Bungee jump by AJ Hackett from the tower's outer rim, is the second highest commercial skyjump in the world, after Vegas' Stratosphere skyjump at 260 meters.
The tower is one of the members of the World Federation of Great Towers. Besides being used for observation and entertainment, the tower is also used for telecommunications and broadcasting.
On a visit to Auckland, New Zealand, Hong Kong casino billionaire Stanley Ho Hung-Sun was so impressed by the Sky Tower in Auckland that he commissioned a similar one to be built in Macau. The tower was designed by New Zealand engineering firm Beca Group and Gordon Moller of Craig Craig Moller architects for Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau. Construction work of the tower started in 1998, and the tower was officially opened on December 19, 2001.
On December 17, 2006, the father of contemporary bungee jumping, A J Hackett, and popular artist Edison Chen broke two Guinness World Records at the Macau Tower. A J Hackett, broke his own Guinness World Record of "The Highest Bungee Jump from a Building" achieved in 1987 from the Eiffel Tower. Edison Chen represented Macau Tower in the inaugural jump to bid for "The World's Highest Bungee Jump Facility".
