Pokies are OK
Werribee Shire Council supports the introduction of poker machines into Victoria, in the hope that it will be beneficial to the finances of clubs.
Council made the decission in response to a questianaire from the Board of Inquiry into Poker Machines.
The questions asked were related to population, number of hotels, licenced clubs, etc, and if council had passed any resolutions in relation to poker machines.
Councilors were asked to submit personal views as well as a resolution of combined council.
Shire secretary, Mr John Kerr, told council that it could make comments on the terms of reference of inquiry, which were in relation to the likely social and economic affects on the introduction of poker machines.
Cr Ted Dowling felt the issue was most important in its effect on local clubs.
He said that everyone recognised the beneficial affect which poker machines had wrought on clubs in New South Wales, staging functions which were completely out of the reach of Victorian clubs.
As to the affects on individuals, Cr Dowling said he felt that each individual had control of own destiny in relation to the gambling aspect.
He said that clubs would have a greater scope for control than hotels because membership fee and the machines would not be freely available to the public.
Cr Dowling said he anticipated a cry about the affects of poker machines on homes, but he felt it was no greater than from any other form of gambling.
Cr Don Myers said he had nothing against women, but he felt they could get caught up in the continual quest for a jackpot.
He went on to say that he had heard there had been a fall-off in patronage in New South Wales.
"Anyway you can't win", he said "the Government will get 15-20% first," he pointed out.
"We have enough forms of gambling, already" Cr Myers claimed.
Crs Dowling and Menegazzo then moved that Council support the introduction of poker machines into Victoria.
Cr Julian Menegazzo said he lived in New South Wales for a number of years and people knew they could not win, however they put $5 or so in for a bit of fun.
He felt that Tattslotto was a bigger problem than poker machines.
Cr Menegazzo said he had seen people put hundreds of dollars into Tattslotto chasing the million-dollar prize.
Cr Glenn Clark said he opposed poker machines.
"Sure, there is good food and entertainment, and fun for those who have $5 to put into the machines, but I have seen the harm done to families by the machines," he said.
He felt the terms of reference had been framed in such a way as to justify the introduction of poker machines.
Cr Clark felt that the decision was one that councils should have to make. He did not feel qualified to speak on behalf of the 5000 people in South-West Riding, on that subject.
Cr Kevin Skehan said that he was certain that some people would be adversely affected by the introduction of poker machines, initially.
He pointed out that the same debate had raged about the introduction of 10 o'clock closing "when the doom and gloom meschants had forecast that we'd all be drunk every night".
"I support the proposal." he said, "it's essential to the development of the club industry and to tourism."
Cr Skehan said that busloads of Victorians went away for weekends to take in poker machines, which were not the prime reason, but merely the catalyst.
"What annoys me," Cr Skehan said, "is the sheer hypocrisy of it all. Poker machines are no different from people queing up at agencies for Tic Tac Toe or Instant Tatts".
"Many clubs and public places already had coin-in-the-slot machines which paid dividends in goods.
"It's ludicrous that in this countrywe have two sets of laws for areas separated by only 150 yards of water", Cr Skehan said.
Cr Hudson supported the poker machines, but only on a restricted basis - not in hotels. He added that clubs would be able to provide more community facilities thus lightening the load on local councils.
Cr John Gibbons said he felt there were more direct benefits from poker machines than from most other forms of gambling. "There is job creation in the machine manufacture, people have more social contact and clubs themselves employ more staff." he pointed out.
Cr Bruce Comben opposed poker machines saying that one only had to visit a club to see the affects on people. "And the club industry in New South Wales had more money than the government", he added.
Cr Ted Dowling said councillors could not sit up as moralists, but that individually they had a right to express their views. He felt they would be an advantage to Victoria. "football clubs have had to run two bob rafles for too long," he concluded.
Cr Pat Goodwin said she opposed poker machines because of the hardship she had seen caused to families.
The motion was carried 5-4 with Cr Southwick abstaining.

This week's theme: Technical, mechanical, or machinery
I was rather lacking in inspiration earlier in the week, partly because I was thinking large scale. The obvious solution only came to me later and here is the old Singer Sewing machine (hand operated) that used to belong to my mother-in-law.
I looked up on the Internet about it recently and it dates from the 1930s and was made in Clydebank in Scotland.

Geheimschreiber
Although the ENIGMA remains the best know German cryptographic machine of World War II, in the early 1940's the German military introduced several new cryptographic teletypewriters known under the name Geheimschreiber - sometimes translated as "private secretary", sometimes as "secret writer".
These machines offered on-line encryption and decryption, that is plain test could be typed directly into the machine, automatically converted to encrypted text, and sent directly to the transmitter. In addtion to security, these "secret writers" provided the Germans with the ability to encrypt large volumes of test at high speed.
Learning that the Germans had named an early version of these machines SWORDFISH, the British and Americans bestowed nicknames associated with fish on the machines and the communications links in which they were used. The two most famous are TUNNY and STURGEON.
Just as they developed the Bombe to assist decryption of ENIGMA , the British developed data processing to attack the fish family of machine ciphers. (I must add: This was a whale of a job!) This led to the construction of the COLOSSUS which British historian F. H. Hinsley is "justly claimed as a pioneer programmable electronic digital computer."
The 40 (SZ40) when first encountered in 1940 was nicknamed TUNNY by the British - after a fish better known to Americans as TUNA.
The Schlüsselzusatz SZ40, manufactured by the German firm Lorenz, was used by the German Army for high-level communications, generally between Army groups. It provided on-line encryption and decryption and was capable of handling large volumes f traffic at high speed. The TUNNY depended on wheels for encryption and decryption but unlike ENIGMA it did nut substitute letters but insted encrypted elements of the electrically generated Baudot code used in normal telegraphic transmissions.

As Karl Addison’s art and vision evolves—from blank slate, to paper, to mural, to installation, to unoccupied public space—our understanding and comprehension of the world around us begins to unfold as well. We may not notice his input, infiltrating our subconscious—our everyday—but it’s there. A beautiful woman’s face composed of negative space watching peacefully over a cemetery in Wedding, a fragile old Jewish woman towering over a decommissioned factory in Berlin, an urban zoo of imagined creatures deposited all over the globe, an abandoned room filled with 4,500 fat babies…Addison’s art and commentary on history and culture are everywhere, becoming part of the collective unconscious.
Through his travels to Italy, Israel, Japan, throughout the US, and his current residence in Berlin, Addison’s overarching theme of people and the spaces they occupy and interact with has taken shape. By focusing on pieces, which work to become part of public space rather than interrupt it, his intent to create regenerative art through murals and other mediums is being actualized. He has achieved this both independently and collaboratively with other contemporary artists and painters, most notably James Boullough. Addison’s recent and current collaborative projects also highlight his more narrowed focus of interconnectedness, “connecting humanity around the world with different cultures from different places,” he wants us to value tiny lines, details, to appreciate a world view and hopefully, start extolling minute details of our own.
It takes an extraordinary person, one with talent, courage, and patience, to express himself the way Addison does. To project his voice and vision for the world to see—to rip it out of a sketch book or a blank page in his mind—and produce it. To take it beyond the two-dimensional and spray paint, wheat paste, bomb, the side of a building with an illimitable piece of art. To exhibit in public space—on walls, on clothing, in art galleries—what a beautiful fucking thing. Art—“a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind” leaving the watching to the watched.

Pótoprens, Haiti.
Flows of people, pigs, goats, like an exodus of unorganized ants of different colonies who have all lost their queen. Everyone here is a juggler. Juggling with all that is left. Balancing enormous heavy burdens on the heads, screaming "dlo, dlo, dlo!!" "Water, water, water!" Barking, singing in Kreole & cacophonic un-understandable sounds at first. Sweat, dust, lots of dust, heat, smells of damped trash, cleaned clothes hanging on barbwire, on trees or roofs to dry.
Cité Soleil.
Chaos into chaos. Naked children running, beautiful, smiling, suspicious & clever. "Blanc! Hey you! Chocolate?" The first words they address you if you're white. Being white here means not being Haitian. You can be Mauritanian - you will still be white. UN soldiers. Minustah. Logbase. Armed Militaries, armed gangs. The armed gangs enhance their "activity" of extortion especially in September - October. They have to find money to send their kids to school. Most of them with wearing their blue "Unicef" bag -part of the "Go-to-school" kit. But they still need the money for shoes and uniforms. Jealousy. Treachery. Haiti, Republic ONG - the NGO Republic. It's hard being thrown a tiny piece of bread and having to share it among so many people. It drives humanity crazy.
The effort of building some artisan labs in such a place. Project started, project financed, funds now finished. Structure, built. Machines, given. Training, given. Structures, robbed, often. Machines, half are already broken. Artists: amazing. Creative, brave. All they want is to earn their living by working, not being part of the gangs. But living and working in a place ruled by them, you can't pretend they're not there. They'll never let you forget they are. Not easy, not at all. Materials, often unavailable, or very expensive. Everything is imported. The challenge: for these labs to produce enough to sustain themselves. Producing, selling, to the rich “Blancs” who can afford it. We're doing it, every day, with a bit of luck, a lot of effort.
But working here, going every day down from Petionville, the "wealthy" neighborhood, to Cité Soleil, one of the poorest slums of the continent, and dealing with all this... It's sometimes just too much. You can't process everything in one Blanc's heart; sometimes it seems too spongy not to drown. It makes you scream from the inside, a long silent scream, before you can breathe in again and start putting the pieces of this scattered puzzle back together.

it wasn't working right so we openned it up to have a go at fixing it and it turned out to only need some dust cleared out from one of the supports. Now it has been milling for the last 24 hours.
