The 700 metre long TREASURES of the Tweed Mural was painted betweed 2010 and 2016 on the Commercial Road side of the Tweed River flood mitigation wall in Murwillumbah in far northern NSW.
Despite fears that vandals would graffiti those murals there has in fact been almost no vandalism.
The river side of the wall had been given over to local artists to paint to their hearts content and its believed that this has been a big reason for the respect for the Treasures of the Tweed Commercial Road side artworks.
In 2016 an organisation called Earth Learning, which operates in the Northern Rivers to promote environmental education, decided that funding for another mural would be sought with the artwork to be carried out during 2017-18. The new mural was to be known as the -
Artist Turiya Bruce was commissioned to work with the local environment group, community artists and volunteers in early 2017 to complete the new 150 metre long Ages of the Tweed Mural which was to focus on the Jurassic Period (250 million years ago) of geological history in the Tweed Valley.
In an interview in January 2017 with The Tweed Valley Weekly Earth Learning coordinator Adrienne Weber said
both the 'Treasures of the Tweed' and the 'Ages of the Tweed' murals show our unique lowland rainforests and Antarctic Beech mountain forests that long ago, covered most of Australia and can still be seen here today.
The murals takes us back in time to past eras when cassowaries, megafauna and giant birds roamed this land.
Back to 20-million years ago, when the Wollumbin / Mt Warning volcano was erupting with molten lava, to times past when Australian dinosaurs, horned turtles and platypus with pointed beaks and teeth lived nearby."
In an interview with the Echo Daily in November 2017 Adrienne Weber said -
"The mural was inspired by the words of William Guilfoyle, botanist and explorer who In 1869 travelled up the Tweed River and described it as:
“A deep rich valley clothed with magnificent trees . . . The background was Mount Warning. The view was altogether beautiful beyond description. The scenery here exceeded anything I have previously seen in Australia.”
‘Guilfoyle said “In all my travels I have never seen anything to equal the beauty of the vegetation. The banks of the river are clothed to the waters edge with an endless variety of the richest of evergreens, and the gay blossoms of climbing plants, entwining themselves around the larger trees, or hanging from the branches in gorgeous festoons alone would be the subject for the painter.'”
The Ages of the Tweed mural has been in progress for the last few years with the final vision being to create the Tweed River – Murwillumbah Riverbank Restoration Walk and Open-air Gallery. The idea is to represent all the plants and animals that existed in the original Wollumbin, (Mount Warning) area from Lismore to Mount Tamborine. Reference Echo Daily Nov 2017

‘Equal Temperance’ is a schizophonic composition for twenty-nine pianos. The composition provides the audience with an insight into the imagined sonification of the instruments regarding the environment they have been placed within. The project explores the differing tunings and acoustic environments of the pianos whilst additionally providing a creative documentation of the London soundscape.
The pianos used in this composition were part of the ‘Play me, I’m yours’ live art piece installed in London by Luke Jerram in July 2009. The material for the composition was recorded at each piano site over a ten-day period in collaboration with pianist, Keir Vine. Every location features in the composition and no external material was used.
‘Equal Temperance’ was diffused live over 8 speakers with Keir Vine performing on piano in the Queen Elizabeth Hall foyer, Southbank. This performance was part of the ‘Trouble Tune Tonic’ festival on July 31st 2009.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Pushing a ball will make it roll along the ground. Putting a pot of water over an open flame will lead to the water boiling. Telling a girl you will pay her $20 to eat pre-chewed peanut butter off your chest while rubbing Tabasco sauce on your feet will lead to a swift kick in the balls. At 404...late-night stabbings lead to shirtless wrestling and tickle bombs.
All it takes is one stabbing. Usually we all walk home from the bar in one big group and talk amongst ourselves about the night or other random drunk conversations like "How much would it take for you to sleep with Rosie O'Donnell?" It's all just an innocent trip home...until it happens. Someone inevitably will calmly walk beside someone and stab them with a shank prison-style (like Dan is to Nate). This causes the victim to fall down like he was really stabbed and all of a sudden you have a riot of stabbings and tickle bombs on your hands in the grassy area right near the 670 off ramp on Neil Ave.
Great times.

One of the most persistent barriers to women’s success at work and to economic growth, unequal pay, will be actively challenged by a new global partnership, the Equal Pay International Coalition (EPIC).
With the launch of EPIC, the International Labour Organization (ILO), UN Women and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) are bringing together a diverse set of actors at the global, regional and national levels to support governments, employers and workers and their organizations, and other stakeholders, to make equal pay between women and men for work of equal value a reality.

Time now, ladies and gentlemen, for The Real Story of Thanksgiving---->
On August 1, 1620, the Mayflower set sail. It carried a total of 102 passengers, including forty Pilgrims led by William Bradford. On the journey, Bradford set up an agreement, a contract, that established just and equal laws for all members of the new community, irrespective of their religious beliefs. Where did the revolutionary ideas expressed in the Mayflower Compact come from? From the Bible. The Pilgrims were a people completely steeped in the lessons of the Old and New Testaments. They looked to the ancient Israelites for their example. And, because of the biblical precedents set forth in Scripture, they never doubted that their experiment would work.
Now, you know the usual story of Thanksgiving: They landed. They had no clue where they were, no idea how to feed themselves. The Indians came out, showed 'em how to pop popcorn, fed 'em turkey, saved 'em basically -- and then white European settlers after that basically wiped out the Indian population. It's a horrible example. Not only is that not true, here is the part that's been omitted from what is still today taught as the traditional Thanksgiving story in many schools. "The original contract the Pilgrims had entered into with their merchant-sponsors in London called for everything they produced to go into a common store,' when they got here, 'and each member of the community was entitled to one common share. All of the land they cleared and the houses they built belong to the community as well.
"They were going to distribute it equally. All of the land they cleared and the houses they built belonged to the community as well. ... [William] Bradford, who had become the new governor of the colony, recognized that this form of collectivism was as costly and destructive to the Pilgrims as that first harsh winter, which had taken so many lives. He decided to take bold action. Bradford assigned a plot of land to each family to work and manage, thus turning loose the power of the marketplace. ... Long before Karl Marx was even born, the Pilgrims had discovered and experimented with what could only be described as socialism,' and it had failed" miserably because when every put things in the common store, some people didn't have to put things in for there to be, people that didn't produce anything were taking things out, and it caused resentment just as it does today. So Bradford had to change it.
"What Bradford and his community found was that the most creative and industrious people had no incentive to work any harder than anyone else, unless they could utilize the power of personal motivation! But while most of the rest of the world has been experimenting with socialism for well over a hundred years – trying to refine it, perfect it, and re-invent it – the Pilgrims decided early on to scrap it permanently. What Bradford wrote about this social experiment should be in every schoolchild's history lesson. If it were, we might prevent much needless suffering," that happens today and will happen "in the future. 'The experience that we had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years...that by taking away property, and bringing community into a common wealth, would make them happy and flourishing – as if they were wiser than God,' Bradford wrote.
"'For this community (so far as it was) was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children without [being paid] that was thought injustice.' ... The Pilgrims found that people could not be expected to do their best work without incentive. So what did Bradford's community try next? They unharnessed the power of good old free enterprise by invoking the undergirding capitalistic principle of private property. Every family was assigned its own plot of land to work and permitted to market its own crops and products. And what was the result?"
Here's what Bradford wrote, the governor of the Massachusetts colony. "'This had very good success,' wrote Bradford, 'for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.' Bradford doesn't sound like much of a Clintonite, does he?" or an Obamaite, if I can update it. "Is it possible that supply-side economics could have existed before the 1980s? ... Anyway, the pilgrims found "In no time, the Pilgrims found they had more food than they could eat themselves. ... So they set up trading posts and exchanged goods with the Indians. The profits allowed them to pay off their debts to the merchants in London. And the success and prosperity of the Plymouth settlement attracted more Europeans and began what came to be known as the 'Great Puritan Migration.'"
Very few people have heard this story or have had it taught to them -- and the "thanks" was to God for showing them the way. John Adams and George Washington wrote about their reminisces and their thoughts on the first Thanksgiving and the notion it was thanks to God. It was an entirely different story than is being taught in the schools. It's been muddied down, watered down all these years -- and now it's been hijacked by the multicultural community -- to the point that the story of Thanksgiving is the Pilgrims were a bunch of incompetents and were saved only by the goodness of the Indians, who then were wiped out. And that's what kids are being taught today -- 'cause, of course, you can't mention the Bible in school, and that's fundamental to the real story of Thanksgiving.

A one-year volunteer (OYV) had to equip himself (rations quarters, uniforms, and
equipment). He had to pay also for a horse (if needed) or had to pay into the remount
fund. The cost was generally equal to the cost of one year at university and depended into which kind of unit a one-year volunteer decided to go. He could choose his regiment; however, infantry, Jäger, engineers, and foot artillery were expected to pay between 1750 and 2200 marks for their year. Field artillery and train units increased the cost to around 2300-2700 marks. But for cavalry and mounted field artillery, the costs soared to 3400 to 3600 marks a year.There is a misconception that one-year volunteers purchased most of the uniforms and equipment from commercial sources. In reality, most of the uniforms and equipment were either purchased or rented from the regiment.
The payback was.
The OYV only had to do one-year of active service before transferring to the reserve. This was in place of the 2-3 year active requirement.
The OYV could start military training at age 17 at the earliest. The normal soldier started at age 20.
The OYV, if he passed the prerequisite examinations, he could enter as an officer aspirant or NCO in the reserves. A reserve commission was an open door for a successful civilian life. Taking the test to become an officer was voluntary,
conducted at the end of the active- duty year, and the active company commander had to sponsor the volunteer
A rally and press conference was held on Tuesday afternoon April 10th at the Daley Center in downtown Chicago to call attention to the fact that the state of Illinois is one of fourteen states yet to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
The Equal Rights Amendment states that: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex". The E.R.A, would provide legal protection for women in various ways including gender-based violence, equal pay, and pregnancy discrimination.
70% of America's poor are women. This also affects the children who depend on them.
Women make up roughly half the workforce and constitute two-thirds of minimum wage workers.
Women earn 79 and 44% of what men make adjusted for their race. The latter figure applies more to blacks and Hispanics.
Women are twice as likely to retire in poverty as men.
Passing the E.R.A. would ensure that employers could not give women less pay for doing the same work as a man.

Frauenarbeit ist MehrWert
Der Equal Pay Day am 19. März 2016 markiert den Tag, an dem Frauen den Lohn bekommen haben, den sie bis Ende letzten Jahres verdient hätten, würden sie wie Männer bezahlt werden. DIE LINKE will Betriebe verpflichten, Entgeltdiskrimi-nierung zu beenden - bei Sanktionsandrohung.
Linke aus der Bundestags-fraktion und dem Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus beteiligten sich neben vielen Frauen und Männern aus Verbänden, Gewerkschaften und Parteien an einer Kundgebung zum Equal Pay Day. Die Fraktionsvorsitzende Sahra Wagenknecht sprach dazu und prangerte dabei die Sozialpolitik zum Nachteil vieler Frauen scharf an.
Der Sinn dahinter ist anscheinend, die Öffentlichkeit darauf zu sensibilisieren, dass Frauen in der Schweiz durchschnittlich 19 % weniger verdienen als Männer. (www.equalpayday.ch)
Morgen (am 8. März) ist zudem Tag der Frau und ich hör's schon, wie Frauen sich doch nicht so anstellen sollen, sie seien doch schliesslich per Gesetz gleichberechtigt. Und ohnehin seien selbst schuld daran, wenn sie weniger verdienen, was würden sie auch immer schlecht bezahlte Berufe wählen, in denen sie dann auch noch Teilzeit arbeiten und es fehle ihnen überhaupt nur an Ehrgeiz. Es ist zum Kotzen!
Natürlich wäre es schön, wenn solche Aktionstage nicht mehr nötig wären und wir den Geschlechterschwachsinn endlich hinter uns lassen könnten. Solange Menschen aber aufgrund ihres Geschlechts diskriminiert werden und Gleichheit nur für Gleiche gilt, haben solche Tage durchaus ihre Daseinsberechtigung.

The green and peaceful Isle of Man is the spectacular setting for the high-octane TT (Tourist Trophy) motorcycle race, unquestionably the most thrilling, most demanding and just plain terrifying motorcycle racing in the world, held from late May to early June (30 May-12 June 2015). It is the world's most dangerous motorcycle race, inspiring passion and controversy in equal measure. By the start of this race in 1907, around 250 riders had died on the 60 km (37¾ miles) TT course.
The TT Circuit
The TT inspires more passion and loyalty than any other motorcycling event. Compared to the short, sanitised circuits of MotoGP, this is tough racing on the real public roads, with dozens of sequences to remember. The blind corners and the steep mountain climbs of Snaefell require years of experience to ride well; handling a 200 kg superbike of 1,000 cc and above around them at average speeds (lap record) up to 131.850 mph is gruelling, not to mention nerve-shredding. Should your concentration slip, there are no gravel traps to break your fall. There are only trees, telegraph poles and jagged stone walls......... More
TT: Closer to the Edge is a documentary film about the Isle of Man TT races. The film examines what motivates the riders who race the TT and risk everything to become "King of the Mountain". Filmed in 3D, the film is a story about freedom of choice and the strength of human spirit. The film follows the leading riders in the 2010 race meeting, in particular Guy Martin and Ian Hutchinson.
