  Endlessly inventive storytelling: Terry Pratchett. Photograph: Eamonn Mccabe/The Guardian
  
  Snuff has pleasant and innocent connotations – as an
  old-fashioned stimulant to be kept in elegant boxes and snorted
  gracefully in society. It also means arbitrary and unpleasant deaths, as
  in snuff movies. Terry Pratchett's new novel turns on the connection between the two. Commander Vimes,
  the Duke of Ankh, is persuaded, or forced, to go on a holiday to the
  immense country mansion of his wife, Lady Sybil. Here he uncovers a
  smuggling ring run by the local aristocrats, who are indeed the law
  itself, as they are also the local magistrates. They are sending hard
  drugs – slab and slide, which destroy the lives of young urban trolls –
  to the cities by barge and boat. They also trade in living beings:
  goblins, who are not classified as people. There are easy parallels to
  be drawn with venal aspects of our own society: abuses of privilege,
  fiddling of expenses, blind eyes turned. Vimes is his usual streetwise
  and dogged self, rapidly learning how to make best use of the habits of
  country pubs and improve the standards of village policing. Things move
  along nicely, culminating in a breathtaking chase on a string of barges
  being flung about on a river in spate called Old Treachery.
  
  
  1. 
     
     
  
  Pratchett has written several stories set on the Discworld in
  which ill-treated, unconsidered species are described and explained and
  admitted to society. In Feet of Clay, and Making Money, Miss Adora Belle Dearheart runs the Golem Trust, and golems develop from being clay automatons to beings with thoughts and language. In Unseen Academicals Mr Nutt is an orc,
  a creature capable of great violence, who has become an erudite and
  resourceful hero. In the early books, Captain Vimes was capable of easy
  "speciesism" at the expense of the dwarves and trolls, gargoyles and
  zombies who make up the Watch. Pratchett himself for several books
  appeared to be hostile to vampires – but then he has a natural tendency
  to imagine creatures intricately and charitably, so he gives us Mr Otto
  von Chriek, a photographer who has taken the "black ribbon" vow of
  teetotalism and has to be reconstituted with drops of blood every time
  he explodes himself with his camera flash.
  Elsewhere Vimes is persecuted by a green imp inside a "dis-organiser", a gift from his wife, and by a meticulous accountant called AE Pessimal,
  sent by the Patrician to order his papers. Both of these initially
  irritating beings are redeemed by the narrator: the imp turns out to be
  really helpful, and the accountant performs heroic actions in a battle.
  In Snuff
  it is the goblins who are the centre of attention: they are a dim,
  feeble collection of creatures who smell very bad and live in a mess in
  dark holes, stealing chickens and other things. They are not classified
  as human, or sentient beings, and so can be bought, sold and enslaved.
  Predictably and agreeably, Vimes takes up the cudgel on their behalf,
  rescuing them from captivity. In this he is aided by a children's book
  writer called Felicity Beedle, author of Melvin and the Enormous Boil, Daphne and the Nose Pickers and Gaston's Enormous Problem. Miss Beedle is the Adora Belle Dearheart of Snuff; she teaches the goblins to read and discovers an immense musical talent among them.
  There
  is a great deal of interest in bodily fluids, excretions and excrement
  in this book. Lady Sibyl explains to Vimes that Miss Beedle gets
  children to read by writing about what they are interested in. Vimes
  complains that they are "reading about poo and dead ducklings", and
  Sibyl replies calmly that this is what children of a certain age care
  about. In fact young Sam, their son, is showing signs of precocious
  scientific skill by making a collection of various kinds of poo. The
  goblins follow the religion of "Unggue",
  which exhorts them to collect various bodily excretions – snot, ear
  wax, toenail clippings – for which they make exquisitely designed
  containers, "unggue pots" of various materials and shapes. One of
  Pratchett's major gifts as a writer is the energy with which he always
  tells you more than you expect – his description of the pots is clear
  and complicated.
  One advantage of a continuing world full of
  people and creatures is that they can develop in a leisurely way. The
  character who does that in Snuff is Willikins, the Vimes's
  butler, who when he first appeared was stiff and very formal, trying to
  shave Vimes, who forbade him. In Jingo, one of the best of the series, he joins Lord Rust's
  army to fight the Klatchians in the desert, and bites off an enemy
  nose. In this book he turns out to have the same streetwise background
  as his employer, and a collection of hidden and unusual weapons. He can
  deal with the villain in ways his employer, inhibited by professional
  rules, cannot.
  The villain in this book is a murderer of men and
  goblins called Stratford, a person whose lack of conscience is a form of
  stupidity, as with many other Pratchettian villains. (My favourite of
  these is the appalling Mr Pin in The Truth,
  who has an unerring eye for artistic masterpieces and snorts any
  substance – such as scouring powder – he can find.) The real villain in Snuff is Lord Rust's son, the smuggler and slavemaker, who is arrogant and again stupid.
  Pratchett
  is a master storyteller. He is endlessly inventive, even when telling a
  routine kind of tale. He gives you more information and more story than
  you need, just because he can, and this is completely satisfying. He is
  a master of complex jokes, good bad jokes, good dreadful jokes and a
  kind of insidious wisdom about human nature (and other forms of alien
  nature). I think his mad footnotes are there because he can't stop his
  mind whirring, and our whirring minds go with him. I read his books at a
  gallop and then reread them every time I am ill or exhausted.

Diggers treading a trigger wire

Australian and Afghan National Army soldiers frequently go on patrols together.

AUSTRALIAN Diggers in Afghanistan are appalled and angered when they
hear their main role in Afghanistan dismissed as just "training the
Afghan army".

The dangers faced daily by the instructors out mentoring the Afghan
National Army were brutally highlighted yesterday when it emerged that
28-year-old Jared MacKinney had been killed in an intense three-hour
battle with Taliban insurgents during a joint patrol with Afghan troops
in the Deh Rawud green zone, west of the Australian base at Tarin Kowt.

He was the fourth Australian killed in Afghanistan in less than a
fortnight. But, more significantly, he was the eighth member of an
Australian training and mentoring team killed in action since they
Australian Defence Force began helping to train the Afghan army.

For those troops the war has become even more dangerous in recent months
as the Dutch troops who had the primary coalition role in Oruzgan pulled
out in August, to be replaced by a largely American force.

The Dutch withdrawal coincided with the Americans' make-or-break
surge against the Taliban, with a big troop build-up designed to clear
the insurgents out of the huge areas they control.

Raspal Khosa, an Afghan specialist from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute,
says the increased fighting is a consequence of US President Barack
Obama's revised "force uplift" strategy being put into effect by General David Petraeus.

Strong coalition contingents were sent into Kandahar and Helmand provinces in
particular, and Australians have takenpart in some fighting there.

The US strategy calls for the capture of what the generals call "key
terrain districts" and some of those lie in Oruzgan province,
Australia's main operational area.
These areas, 121 of them, have been picked because control there gives a marked advantage to whichever side has them.

They contain a population as well as economic and transport corridors. One
of these is Deh Rawud where this week's bitter fighting took place.

"The Taliban is obviously counterattacking to challenge this strategy,"
Khosa says. The insurgents have changed tactics and dramatically
increased the numbers of improvised bombs, which are responsible for the
largest number of military and civilian casualties in Afghanistan.

The Taliban aim is to influence what Khosa calls "the external centre of
gravity": public opinion in the West and the coalition's political will
to continue the fight.
The continuing deaths and the apparent lack of progress do have an effect.
Newspoll has marked dwindling public support for the war in Afghanistan after
many years of conflict and mounting casualties.

The proportion of Australians supporting the commitment of troops has
dropped since the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks, when two-thirds supported sending troops; in March last year,
nearly two-thirds were opposed.

The war has not been an election issue because it has the support of the main parties,
and Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott both favour Australia's continued involvement in the
war effort.

The Coalition was fairly gung-ho on the war for a time and pushed for Australia
to take over the lead role in Oruzgan when the Dutch pulled out. But since
the latest wave of casualties began -- and following briefings from ADF chief
Angus Houston -- Abbott has softened the rhetoric and adopted the view that
the size of the commitment is "about right".

The Dutch withdrawal has left a specific vacuum not easily filled by the Americans,
with their more aggressive operational style.
Debate about the Dutch departure concentrated largely on who would replace
the logistics they brought to Oruzgan: the command structure, medical facilities,
helicopters and fast jets that provide air support, and the long-range artillery that
can hit Taliban targets in the mountains around the joint coalition base at Tarin Kowt.
But the issue is more complex.

The Dutch proved adept at building relationships with the tribal people
scattered through Oruzgan's mountain valleys and Australia's troops have
benefited from that rapport.

For a long time Australians working with forces from The Netherlands
were inclined to complain about their lack of aggression and to suggest
that "Dutch" stood for "Don't Understand The Concept Here"
when it came to counter-insurgency warfare, or even that
Dutch troops were more inclined to hand out flowers than bullets.

But the Dutch have, as far as it can be done,
built up a deep relationship with the locals
that has helped them navigate the
treacherous complexities of tribal rivalries.

After years of stalemate and a growing alarm that the NATO-led forces could lose
in Afghanistan, the thinking of top American commanders has swung to a position
much more closely aligned with that of the Dutch and a general realisation that
they can't kill their way to victory.

Australia has two main roles in Afghanistan. Its special forces contingent is one
of the most active in Afghanistan, hitting insurgent targets far from the coalition base
at Tarin Kowt and spending weeks at a time far "outside the wire".

Their operations are cloaked in secrecy and generally only become public
when something goes horribly wrong.

That happened in June, when three of Australia's most experienced special forces
soldiers were killed and seven wounded in a helicopter crash high in the mountains
where they headed out in pitch darkness on a raid against the Taliban.

The losses were the worst suffered by the Australian Army on operations since Vietnam,
and came just a fortnight after two Australian Army engineers, sappers Darren Smith
and Jacob Moerland, were killed by a roadside bomb.

To illustrate the intensity of the secret special forces operations, those soldiers were
veterans on their third tour of duty in Afghanistan and were involved a week before in
a successful attack on a Taliban stronghold that senior officers said tore the heart out of
a major insurgent group. The Australians were among 15 coalition troops aboard
the NATO helicopter.

The pilot, an American, was also killed and another crew member badly hurt when
the aircraft crashed at 3.39am Afghanistan time. Houston,
himself a decorated helicopter pilot, says flying conditions at the
time were extremely difficult, with a combination of very rugged
terrain, high altitude, high temperatures and heavily laden aircraft.

In Afghanistan, the Australian mentors operate often from rudimentary
stone forts called forward operating bases and patrol bases built in valleys that lie
in what was the Taliban heartland in Oruzgan.

Small groups of heavily armed Australians live, train and fight with the
Afghan troops they mentor, undertaking frequent joint patrols to keep
any insurgents in the area on the move, to uncover weapons caches and to
try to reassure the locals that they can confidently turn away the Taliban.

Coalition commanders say
the Afghan troops are brave and loyal but lack the discipline of
Western armies. They are not big on planning and are inclined to rush
forward to join in any contact and to blaze away over one another's
heads.

Operations in areas such as Deh Rawud and the Baluchi
Valley, green ribbons of fertile ground winding through the jagged brown
mountains of southern Afghanistan, are
dangerous and the Australian troops are exposed.

These valleys have long been used as infiltration routes by Taliban insurgents moving
from the highlands down to Tarin Kowt, and the troops are there to block them.

In winter the area is bitterly cold and the mountains white with snow. In
the summer -- fighting season -- it is rocky, dusty and hot.

Special forces, Special Air Service troops and commandos carry out lengthy patrols
farther afield, hunting down insurgent leaders and bomb-making factories.

The Diggers also act on intelligence gathered from local villagers, special forces patrols
and manned and unmanned aircraft to track down insurgents moving through the valley
who might place the lethal bombs known as improvised explosive devices or set up ambushes.

Hugh White, a former deputy secretary in the Defence Department who is now a professor
at the Australian National University, has consistently questioned Australia's military
involvement.
White says it's important to note that we don't actually know why Australia is losing more men.
He says one possibility may be simply bad luck, as in the helicopter crash.
"Another possibility is that the Taliban are stepping up their operations," White says.

He makes the point that we know very little about what's happening on the
ground in Afghanistan because the ADF releases very little information.

"The Taliban seem to be pushing the Australians harder," he says. "Maybe
they think that with the Dutch gone, if they push harder we may be more
willing to go, too.
"A third possibility is that the Australians are taking on more risky operations.

"I think there is an element of that, too. We are taking on a more active mentoring role
with the Afghan National Army. Our guys are going out more with the ANA on joint patrols
in contested country, which is inherently risky.
"With the best will in the world, it's not as safe operating out there with the ANA as
it would be with [fellow Australians]."

White suggests the high number of casualties recently are the consequence of a
combination of bad luck and the increased tempo of operations by both sides.

"At least one of those three factors is under our control and it does seem [important]
to ask whether the extra costs in lives [apparently] being imposed on us by this more
active campaigning strategy is justified by the results we're getting.

"If you believe what the government and opposition are saying, that we're in
Afghanistan to secure a stable future for Afghanistan and reduce the
threat of terrorism, then you might reach one conclusion about how
worthwhile these operations are and whether they are worth the cost.

"But I don't believe anyone in government really thinks that. I think it is
universally accepted in government that we're not going to succeed in
Afghanistan. That we're just hanging on until the Americans go.

"And if that's right then hanging on until the Americans go should be done
at the lowest possible risk to Australian lives, in which case there's
an argument that we should stop doing the more risky operations.

"A lot of people would say that was defeatist, but if we're not seriously
expecting to get a result. -- if we're not seriously expecting that . . .
when we start pulling out [in a few years] the situation will have
improved much -- we've got to be very careful about whether it's worth
our while undertaking more risky operations that are costing us lives
and not changing the strategic outcome."

It all boils down to a simple question, White says: "Are we really serious about getting
a result, or are we going through the motions to hold up our end as a good ally?
"I think it's that latter, and if that's the case then we should be doing everything we can
to make sure that we are going through the motions at the cheapest possible price in lives."
White remains deeply sceptical about the whole strategy.

"The idea that you somehow fundamentally change the Afghan political landscape with
a couple of hundred soldiers and a couple of hundred aid workers . . . Societies are much harder to shift than that.

"The more Australians die, the more seriously the people responsible -- and
that is the ministers -- the more they have to interrogate their own
judgment about what we're trying to do and whether it's worth it, and
whether it's going to work.

"If it's not going to work, if three or five years from now we're going
to leave Afghanistan pretty much as it is today -- and I'll bet my boots we will --
then we'll want to ask ourselves why there are 21 dead Australians.

"In this situation people focus on those who have already died.

"And they often say we can't stop now because that would betray the people who've already died," White adds.

"What you've really got to focus on is
the people who haven't yet died but who will.

"There are people who are now walking around in uniform
who will die before we leave, and you've got to ask yourself
on what basis are we allowing that to happen."

A ROGUE Afghan soldier has opened fire and killed three Australian
army trainers and wounded six others in the volatile south of
Afghanistan, NATO and a local commander have confirmed.

An Afghan National Army (ANA) officer was also shot and wounded.
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is yet to comment on the incident.
The shooting occurred during morning parade at 8.30am (3pm AEDT) at
Shah Wali Kot in Kandahar province, the ABC reported.

The alliance force says two Australian diggers were killed and the third
later died of his injuries after ''an individual wearing an Afghan
National Army uniform apparently turned his weapon on Afghan and
coalition forces''.

It said the shooter was also killed in the incident, but gave no further details.

General Abdul Hameed, commander of 205 Atal corps in the south, said an Afghan
soldier with three years' experience had carried out the shooting.

''At around 8.30 this morning (3pm AEDT), an ANA soldier named Darwish who
had been serving as an ANA soldier for the past three years opened fire on a group
of Australian military officers, killing three of them and injuring six others as well as
one ANA officer,'' said Hameed.

''The attacker was also gunned down by ISAF soldiers.''
It's not the first time an ANA soldier has killed an Australian soldier.

In May this year, 25-year-old Lance Corporal Andrew Gordon Jones was shot dead
by a rogue ANA soldier at the Patrol Base Marshal in the Chora Valley.

Fears of infiltration within the Afghan army ranks have risen as Western backers fund
and
train a huge expansion of the fledgling national force ahead of the
withdrawal of all foreign combat forces scheduled for 2014.

The announcement came as a suicide car bomber in the capital Kabul struck a US-run
NATO bus travelling through the southwest of the city, killing at least 17 people, including 13 US soldiers.

The death of the three diggers overnight is the
single worst incident involving Australians since June last year when
three members of the Sydney-based 2nd Commando Regiment
died in a helicopter crash in Kandahar province.

A total of 32 Australian soldiers have now been killed
in a decade of involvement in Afghanistan.

Australian 50 Cent Coins : 1988 First Fleet Bicentenary 50c
October 4, 2010
1988 First Fleet Bicentenary 50c

In 1988 Australia celebrated 200 years since the arrival of the First
Fleet. Captain Arthur Phillip led the party of 11 ships to the
founding of Sydney and the colonisation of New South Wales. Arriving
between 18-20th January 1788 1,487 men, women, children and convicts
landed to establish the first European colony in Australia.

There were many events around the country planned for the Bicentenary
in 1988 including a 50 cent coin released into circulation by the Royal
Australian Mint. This dodecagonal (12 sided) 31.51mm copper (75%)
nickel (25%) coin weighed in at 15.55 grams with a plain edge. The
reverse depicts an uncharted map of New Holland (Australia), the stars
of the southern cross and a ship of the First Fleet. This coin is often
nicknamed the "Tall Ships" coin when found in change. It was designed
by Michael Tracey. The standard obverse for 1988 was the Raphael Maklouf portrait
of Queen Elizabeth II, the last year this portrait was used.

8,998,800 of these coins were released into circulation in 1988.
They also feature in the Masterpieces in Silver issues of 1988 and 1989
in sterling silver proof, the 1989 issue being a 1989 dated 50c. Mint
and Proof year sets for 1988 also feature this Tall ships coin.

A one dollar was also released for the Bicentenary in 1988.

Australian Dollar Coins - 1988 First Fleet Bicentenary
November 4, 2009
1988 First Fleet Bicentenary One Dollar by Stuart Devlin
1988 brought many celebrations and issues marking 200 years since the
First Fleet landed in Port Jackson, Sydney. These ships brought the
first immigrants to start the new colony of New South Wales. The First
Fleet consisted of 11 ships bringing approximately 1487 people from
Great Britain to establish Australia's first European colony. On the
26th January 1788 Fleet leader Captain Arthur Phillip planted the
British flag on Australian shore and claimed the land for the British
Empire. This day continues to be celebrated as a national holiday
Australia Day.

This one dollar issue that entered circulation reminds us of the
original Aboriginal inhabitants of our nation. The reverse depicts
aboriginal artwork- a stylised kangaroo on a backdrop of a seven pointed
(federation) star modeled by designer Stuart Devlin.
When we receive one of these in our change, we are reminded of the
native Koori people that were displaced by European settlement. This
standard 25mm, 9 gram, aluminium bronze dollar features the obverse
effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Raphael Maklouf . 20,400,000 of these
coins entered circulation. 3,500 coins were also struck in aluminium
bronze proof. This dollar was also restruck later for inclusion in the 5
coin uncirculated set 1988-1992. A sterling silver proof version was
also included in the masterpieces in silver set issued in 1990.

Pilots ponder legal action over 'insane' Qantas grounding

From:AAP

11:46AM

THE Australian International Pilots Association (AIPA) is looking
into taking legal action against Qantas, describing the decision to
ground the fleet as "insane" and possibly in breach of the Fair Work Act.

Speaking outside the Qantas domestic terminal at Sydney Airport,
AIPA vice-president Captain Richard Woodward said the union had its
legal team looking into the legal options.

"We think that Alan (Joyce) may have been in breach of the Fair Work Act by his actions,"
he said.

"He has locked out the short-haul pilots,
they are not in this dispute -
their award is not up for negotiation
until next year."

Mr Woodward said
the short-haul operations of Qantas
was the most profitable arm of the airline.

"It's an insane reaction," he said.

Qantas pilots never had any intention of going on strike
and claims to the contrary were simply untrue, Mr Woodward said.

"All we were thinking about doing was
not ringing in before heading into work," he said.

"We are very conservative people,
we know that Qantas passengers hold us intrust ...
they trust us to get them there safely
and we always intended on doing that."

AIPA said it was seeking a new clause in the enterprise bargaining agreement
with Qantas that would ensure that all of the airline's flights
were operated by pilots from the flying kangaroo
as opposed to being outsourced.

He said the only industrial action Qantas pilots had been taking was inflight
announcements about the industrial dispute as well as the donning of red
ties that carried the message "Qantas flight, Qantas pilots".

ASSISTANT Treasurer Bill Shorten says Qantas' decision to ground its
fleet was a "radical overreaction" to the standoff between the airline
and unions.

"You don't lock out your passengers to square off with your employees,"
Mr Shorten said.

"If the unions had locked out the passengers,
I would have been equally outraged,

"But in this case it is the Qantas management that has done, in my opinion,
the premature and wrong thing when plenty could have been done in a
sensible nature."

Czech President Klaus
refuses to pass security check
in Australian parliament.Czech President Klaus refuses to pass security check in Australian parliament
Posted by EIP-News
Posted on Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

Czech President Vaclav Klaus, on a trip to Australia,
today refused to pass through a security check at the
entrance to the Australian parliament, server abc.net.au has reported,
citing a witness from among local journalists.

Australian TV channel ABC1, which has its studio in the parliament
building, wanted to make an interview with Klaus, who, however,
refused to go through a security detector.

The programme producer Michelle Ainsworth, who had waited for him
behind the detector in order to usher him to the studio, informed him
that all visitors are supposed to undergo the check.

Klaus, nevertheless, insisted on not doing so.

Ainsworth consulted a parliament security guard
who confirmed that everybody must pass through the check.

In reaction to this, Klaus said he would not go through and returned
to his hotel. To make an interview with him, the ABC1 may visit him in
the hotel, he said.

He left without saying good-bye, said Ainsworth.

According to the server theaustralian.com.au, ABC1
could not make the interview outside its studio for technical reasons.

Klaus, 70, has been on a trip to Australia since last week with a
series of lectures on climate change, the theory he resolutely
denies.(ČTK-Czech Press Agency).

le sabrage wrote:Genesis-Bereshith: In the Beginning
26And Elohim said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the earth.”

27And Elohim created the man in His image, in the image of Elohim He created him – male and female He created them.

28And Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said to them, “Bear fruit and increase, and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over all creatures moving on the earth.”

29And Elohim said, “See, I have given you every plant that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed, to you it is for food.

30“And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to every creeping creature on the earth, in which there is life, every green plant is for food.” And it came to be so. 31And Elohim saw all that He had made, and see, it was very good.

Tzelem Elokim=Humankind as Image of YHWH/God

1: Has Intelligence

2: Has Freewill

3: Has component of Spiritual Being-A Soul

4: HaShem/YHWH Rules the Universe and Spirit World, Humans have dominion over the Lower World.

5: Has the faculty of Judgement

6: Has an inherent Holiness and Dignity

As created in the image of God, humans are endowed with "three intrinsic dignities": infinite value, equality, and uniqueness.

The first means that human life cannot be weighed, measured, or compared in terms of, that is, subordinated to, any other value. In the Kantian Parlance humans are always a goal or end in themselves and never a means to something else.

The second term implies that no person or group is privileged over another. In fact, Idolatry results when a person or group absolutizes itself or its message.

The third idea reinforces the dignity of every human by insisting that each person is irreplaceable and has a special role to play in the redemption of the world.

The Jewish religion is founded on the divine assurance and human belief that the world will be perfected." Judaism engages with and seeks to overcome these realities of history through its notion of covenant. The covenant is that dynamic which God inaugurated in history, that partnership between God and the Jewish people, to achieve the dignities for which all humans were created. Jews are those teachers, models, and co-workers-having both a divine and human partners - whom God designated to help all persons and even nature achieve redemption. For Greenberg, the messianic dream of perfection will not be realized by divine fiat, but by "improving this world, one step at a time."

These understandings of God, humans, and the world are expressed through the Torah and lived-out by the Jewish people through the Holy days and the Halakhah. In this view, Torah is that divine teaching which stands as "the constitution of the ongoing relationship of God and the Jewish people."

This expanded view/articulation of higher values help us to search for YHWHs presence in the secular Realms of Life, some peeps call this: 'Holy Secularism'.

The Covenant is essentially a Divine, Loving, Pedagogic process. As Humans become more competent, YHWH invites them to take up a more active role in the Task of Tikkun Olam/World to Come, as Co-Creators.

The lay people of YHWH/God play a more influential role in discerning Yahwehs purpose and in carrying out His Divine Mandates.

Later, ensuing Historical events reshape understandings of earlier Teachings.

Summarized

We=ALL Living things-creatures-sustained and Nurtured by Yahweh-will fill the World with Life.

* We will reshape the Historical Reality, the Flesh & Blood world we inhabit, to sustain that Life at the highest possible level.

* Life will multiply and triumph Quantitatively over all its enemies; including Entropy, Death, and Disorder.

* Life will equally triumph Qualitatively.

* All of Lifes’ capacities/potentials will be developed fully and realized.

* When Life blossoms to its fullest capacity that treats all Life, especially Human Life-the most developed form-and sustains it with the highest and fullest respect that it deserves, then Life will be in harmony with existence and deeply related to Yahweh, its Source and Sustainer(Natural Laws)

* This is the Jews Story, and by default; the Christians/Xns.

* Telling the Story of Creation is the Jews 'Witness'. The present evidentiary Facts contradict the Narrative fairly substantialy.

* Yet, This Story of Creation is shared by Jews and Christians

* This Story leads Humans to see existence as best they can, from a Cosmic Perspective-Sub Specie Aeternitatis.

* From that Vantage Point there are Three Grand Movements in the unfolding Pattern of the Cosmos

1: The World is moving from Chaos to Order. From the Big Bang, with no Laws of Nature to the regularity of the Life sustaining Laws of Nature.

2: The World is moving from Non-Life to Life. From a State in which no life existed to the emergence of Life. From one cell, untold replications, life has grown Quantitatively, and developed Qualitatively. It has luxuriated and spread into a vast range of forms over and through a variety of sustaining conditions/environments.

* The declaration that Life is growing, moving from non-life to life is counter-intuitive.
Death & Entropy refute that contention.

The 'Key' is YHWH/God-The Hidden, Infinite Source of Life with limitless Goodness, Love and Power that sustains Life and Nurtures every possible Form of Life into Being.

* YHWH, the Divine Source evokes the Third Grand Movement of the Cosmos

3: Life is growing ever more to resemble its Ground: YHWH

Life moves from being less to becoming more and more like Yahweh. The highest form of Life, the Human Being, represents the High Point reached thus far.

In Human Form, life so resembles its Maker that it is called; Biblically; 'The Image of God'

* This emergence of "The Image of God" is the Turning Point in Cosmic History according to Jews & Christians.

Up to that point Life has been sworn to 'Be Fruitful & Multiply' (maximizing reproductive success) through a built-in control Programme-A 'Selfish Gene'- that drives the process.

* The 'Image of God' Consciousness is so much like YHWHs that Humans are able to 'grasp' this overall pattern of which we, ourselves are part, and to join voluntarily in its realization.

* Similarly, the Human 'Image of YHWH/God has a capacity to Love ALL their fellow creatures and every aspect of the Universe, as well as the Maker of it all and the Beauty of the Plan.

* Once Humans understand and embrace this understanding, they will lovingly identify with and willingly participate in the process of Perfection.

* YHWH has invited us, as Humans, The 'Image of God', to enter into a Covenantal Partnership, committed to Love, to join fully in perfecting the Universe.

Tikkun Olam

* The People of Israel joyfully acknowledge that YHWHs first Covenant, the Noahide Covenant, never superseded, is made with ALL Humanity, not exclusively with Jews and/or Christians alone.

* It is made with ALL Sentient Beings.

* ALL Beings are called to recognize and participate in Natures Patterns.

* To accept Limits.

* To Direct their choices and actions in favour of Life.

* To join in working for Order against Chaos.

* We are ALL CHOSEN to become part of the movement from Non-Life to Life.

* We are commanded to increase Life and make it grow ever more like its Maker.


* The purpose of the Religious way of life is to create the nurturing ambience of memory and experience, of relationships and actions that sustain Human growth and turns it towards Yahweh.

* Being in the 'Image of God/YHWH brings with it more God like capacities. It bestows intrinsic Dignity, a climatic extension of that respect to which all of life is entitled.

* The People of Israel hold these Truths to be self-evident: That ALL Humans are created in 'The Image of YHWH/God; and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, among which are:

* Infinite Value

* Equality

* Uniqueness.

These are Birthrights of every Son & Daughter of Yahweh

The Sinai Event was the ultimate Social Engineering event.

The Torah is the first, and oldest Religious Book written in an Alephbet/ Alphabet........this alters the hegemony of the Brain to being left hemispherical centric=Abstract, linear and sequential. the ground for Theoretical Science....


THE UNIVERSAL DESIRE FOR CLOSENESS TO God...AND THE SECRET OF THE SABBATH by Rabbi Chaim Richman

The following teaching from the riches of the Oral Tradition is about a level of understanding the Sabbath which is relevant to Jews and non-Jews alike. It is based on a teaching by Rabbi Chaim ben Atar (1746-1793), known as "the holy Light of Life," based on the title of his most famous work.

I. The World Intuitively Pines for G-d
Man - The Centerpiece of Creation
The created world can be divided into four basic categories: the inanimate, plant, animal, and 'speaking' life - man. Man, the highest level of creation, is the only creature endowed with the capability of speech, and this is what singles him out as a completely separate category - he has the greatest potential to develop a relationship with his Creator. He is the center of creation and its purpose and crowning achievement. For this reason, he was created last, and introduced into the Garden... to enable him to enter into a complete world, ready for him, furnished and equipped in advance to house its illustrious occupant.

Every Level of Creation Possesses a Soul
Man is followed by the members of the animal kingdom. Next in line comes the plant kingdom, and finally, inanimate creation - the lowest level of creation, as exemplified by stone. Even stone, the Torah teaches, possesses some degree of life-force, however weak. For it is impossible for something which the Holy One has created to be incapable of recognizing Him. Therefore, commensurate to that degree of life-force, awareness of the Divine could be said to exist within it...

Desire for Closeness to G-d... The Prime Mover
And so the soul, the essence, of every creature, each according to its level of understanding, has some inkling of the greatness of the Creator, and actually carries on a relationship with Him. This soul is constantly driven with endless passion to come closer to the source of all life, the Great and Perfect Light of the L-rd... how much more so should this be true among the higher, more spiritual elements of creation who understand to some extent what it means to 'cling' to the light of the living G-d.

All of Creation is United in the Desire for Closeness to G-d
Herein lies one of the greatest secrets of creation...

All life on earth... and even the actual physical elements that comprise the planet itself - the entire world as one, including every level of creation, from the lowest level of the inanimate - stones and earth, to the highest and most intelligent life-form, man himself; an endless pageant which spans every creature, plant and animal - all are constantly and inexorably united by an all-consuming, burning desire for G-d. This is the vital force which drives the world; this desire is the power which fuels the universe... it reverberates within the entire life-force, and the whole globe, like a man beating with one heart, knows on the deepest level with absolute clarity that there is nothing as sweet, desirable, and sustaining as 'Dveykut' - the ability to 'cling' close to the light of the Creator. This is the purpose of life itself, and on the deepest collective intuitive level, all are aware that nothing else is worth living for. This longing is itself the vital life-force of everything, and the entire world draws from it at once. In other words, this longing for G-d is what fuels the world to go on.

Because G-d is the Creator of all existence, He maintains an intimate link with each and every creature, regardless of its spiritual capacity. Obviously not all of creation is equal in spiritual sensitivity. Regardless of this, that link of intimate knowledge still exists, according to its degree of conciousness and development.

Three Revolutionary Innovations in Human History took place at Mount Sinai.

1: Abstract Ethical Monotheism

2: Universal Codified Law

3: An Alephbet 1,800 BCE

Abstract Ethical Monotheism rather than Polytheism, Rule of Law for All rather than the Divine Rights of Kings or Queens and an Aleph/Bet, less than thirty characters that replaced Iconographs/Ideograms and Hieroglyphs, enhancing Literacy amongst the masses.

The abstraction of all three innovations were mutually reinforcing.

YHWH/God proclaimed that there exists a Codex of morality that stands above Human intercourse.

The 10 Commandments applied universally to everyone. no King, Pharoah, or Potentate was above the Law.

Refutes the rubric that 'Might makes Right'.

YHWH/God expected all His Chosen People TO READ what He inspired to be written.

The Pentateuch is the oldest Religious Book written in an Alephbet-Alphabet. Prior books were written in Cuneiform, Hieroglyphs etc......

YHWH forbade anyone from visualizing Him. No Images. No Idolatry.

He sanctioned only the written word.

This promulgates equality and openness.

An overarching Theme of the Pentateuch, and ensuing Books of the Bible is: Justice for all.

A distinguishing feature of the Pentateuch from other belief systems of the Time is its dominating Theme of: Righteousness,

Living a pious life and obeying written law was/is more important than winning Battles, honouring the King, or sacrificing to a local god.

Justice for all was a unique community standard in an era when the dominant principle was a raised and clenched fist.

Unlike other ANE Sagas, the Exodus begins with the people shackled slaves.

Unlike other ANE Sagas, Yahweh 'Chose' the people rather than the people choosing their god.
This rediscovery allows each to uncover and affirm each others’ role in the Divine Plan. The Kingdom of Yahweh is advanced and comes closer.

'You are my witnesses says YHWH/God' Isaiah 43:10
The People of Israel are YHWHs Servants, 'Chosen' to witness to the loving Creator and the Divine Plan for Humanity and the Cosmos.

The People of Israel = not just the Israelis, or Jews, but to all who affirm that Yahweh has made a valid Covenant with Abraham and his descendants and all who take up the task of World Redemption so that the covenant can be fulfilled.

For that is the purpose of making the covenant.

Xns and Muslims are recognized as Abrahams children when they purge themselves of Supersessionist claims and hatred of Jews.

To be True to its Witness, the People of Israel tell 3 Stories to the World, the rest of Humanity, in the presence of Yahweh and in the presence of their fellow Humans.

1: They tell the Story of Creation, the Divine Vision of an intended perfect World. Jew & Xn stake their existence that this World will come to be.

2: The Story of the Covenant, the process operating between a Divine-Human partnership whereby our imperfect World will be brought back to that state of Perfection.

3: The Story of Redemption-sometimes called: 'The End of Days'-'The Messiah Story'-which is the culmination and realization of the process.

At the end, Holistic perfection will be achieved.
Peace between Humans.

Between Humans and all the rest of Life, between all Life and Nature itself, and between all of the above and Yahweh.

Three Stories add up to one comprehensive Story: The Triumph of Life

Before Monotheism there had never been Religious Warfare.

The Polytheistic Cultures were live and let live about other culture Deities and often borrowed and share aspects.

The Polytheistic Deities were usually Local Deities, not Universe/Worldwide.

Polytheist had National gods, Local gods, family gods and personal gods, even their pet animals had gods.

Abstract Ethical Monotheism was a Major Advance along the road to Enlightenment, but came at a high cost.

Abstract Ethical Monotheism encouraged people to think in new ways. An Abstract Ethical Monotheistic Creator Being not tied to a concrete Image/Picture is a very Abstract Concept..

Abstraction is a crucial component of Logical Reasoning and its use can liberate people from superstition.

Devotion to an Abstract Deity has a Heavy price.

If everyone agrees there is only one, true, Living Creator Being, and different groups conceive of it in different ways, then whose perception of that Deity is the correct one?

Examine each groups’ values and praxis.

Different perceptions have inspired some groups to wage war and engage in forced conversions.

This never occurred in Polytheistic Cultures.

They had many wars but for the usual mundane reasons, Land, Treasure, Women, Power over others for the sake of Power alone, but they never waged Religious War.

One effect of an Alphabetic based Abstract Ethical Monotheism is the brain is using a new abstract, linear, sequential, and reductionist means of communication which moves people who learn it and use it into a Left Brain, Masculine Mode, rather than the usual Pictographic, Feminine Right Brain Mode.

The Aleph/Alphabet subliminally coaxes users to be intolerant of other Iconic Systems of Beliefs.

This is illuminated in the Ten Commandments.

As stated before, Judaism is the first religion to be based upon universal literacy, the written word.

When Moses came down from his meet and greet with YHWH on the mountain, the multitude had fashioned an Idol/Golden Calf, this so upset Moses he dropped the two stone Tablets upon which YHWH/God had written the ten commandments.


Allegorically: In the first confrontation between Image and Written Word, both were destroyed.

As the story goes, Moses returned to the Mountain Top and Yahweh provided him with another set.

The 10 Commandments; The first four Commandments are for the Recognition and service/Worship of YHWH/God, the remaining six focus on our fellow humans, loving and serving them.

The Commandment to Honour Both Father and Mother elevates and recognizes the importance and status of Women in the Family Group.

Love your neighbour is not one of the Ten but appears in the Torah/Instruction, Leviticus 19:18.

The last six commandments are not unusual, and found in other Codices of Laws, The First four Commandments are Unique.

Each one of the first four commandments encourages Alphabetic Literacy by rejecting the Right Brains way of 'knowing'.

One effect of a new, abstract, linear, sequential and reductionist means of communication moves people who learn it into a Left Brain, Masculine Mode.

Social Engineering.

The Ethics they embody are more sophisticated than other contemporary Ancient Near East Cultures.

The First Commandment:

20:2 I am Yahweh thy Elohim, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

20:3 Thou shall have no other elohim before me.

In one fell swoop demoted all other elohim/gods & goddesses to nothings.

Nothing personal, it was business.

The Meta-Message of the First Commandment is that Yahweh is the Master of the Universe, He is self-existent, and all other elohim/gods & goddesses are created beings, subservient to Him.

Psalm 82

82:1 Yahweh stands in the congregation of El; he judges among the elohim.

82:2 How long will you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

82:6 I have said, You are elohim; and all of you are children of the most High.

82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

82:8 Arise, O Yahweh, judge the earth: for thou shall inherit all nations.

All of Yahwehs’ Titles are masculine.

The First Commandment is a radical break with the Hebrews past environment. Moses and the Hebrews had left Egypt which was Polytheistic, alot of gods and goddesses worship.

Yahweh declares there is no worship of other gods or goddesses.

Perhaps the most radical sentence ever written.

The Second Commandment:

20:4 Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I; Yahweh thy Elohim am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

No Graven Images, Icons or Idols, Statues.

Learning to think without Images is indispensable to Alphabetic Literacy. The Power formerly rendered to Images/Pictures is now transferred to the written word.

Make no Graven Images is a ban/restraint on Right Brain Pattern Recognition.

The Third Commandment:

20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of Yahweh thy Elohim in vain; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Do not use Yahwehs Name vainly, with Malintent. Again; Left Brain.

Yahwehs first instruction to adam isto Name all the critters. Through Naming, Adam attains dominion over all the Earth. Naming confers meaning and order, moving Life from Chaos to Order.

To Name is to know, to know is to control. Order out of Chaos.

The Fourth Commandment:

20:8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

20:10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

20:11 For in six days made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Seven Days are not a Natural Break Point in any of Earths Major Natural Rhythmic Cycles-Lunar-Solar, except the Quarter Moon.

This facilitates the learning of Arithmetic.

Leviticus 25:3-10 is about the Jubilee Years, the 50th,

No other Ancient Near East culture at that time had instructed the general population to compute complex time periods, this had formerly been the domain of the Priestly Castes.

The Time Commandment lays the foundation for the concept of Justice, a well developed sense of Linear Time is necessary to conceive of Punishment delayed and Rewards postponed.

Non-Literate Cultures are not as pre-occupied with the notion/concept of Justice as the Literate, because they do not conceive of time only as linear.

Non-Literate Societies tend to think of death as a passage to another World, not as a Day in Court.

Alphabets stretch out the sense of Time and make possible the awareness of the possibility of a retribution Time in the distant future.

A Judgement Day only occurs in Literate Cultures.

Alphabet Literate Cultures became aware of writing History in a Linear, Chronological sequencing of Events.

The fourth Commandments Mechanical/Sociological ramifications is instructing people to be aware of Passing Time.

This was the advent of the seven day week, and a day off every week.

A day off for ALL Humans, Free and Bond, and ALL Beasts of Burden one day a week and the Farmland to lay fallow every seven years to rejuvinate the enzymes in the ground.

This led to Sundials, waterclocks, Pendulums, Escape Mechanisms, Cogs, Gears, Calenders.

Time is a key function of the Left Brain.

Each of the First Four Commandments trains people in the ability to: Think Abstractly, linearly and sequentially.

Collectively, they produce a Mindset that enhances the use and facility of Alphabetic Literacy.

This Technology welded the small group into a cohesive and coherent Nation/Culture.

What occurred at/in Sinai was unique, the Authority of the Written Word superseded the authority of the Image.

Reiterating the Revolutionary Innovations that occurred at Mount Sinai:

1: Abstract Ethical Monotheism emerged,

2:Universal Codified Laws establishing Moral Ethics

3: The Alephbet-Proto Alphabet emerged. The Hebrews reduced thosands of Images/Hieroglyphs/Petroglyphs/Ideograms/Pictograms into two dozen Characters, enabling Universal Literacy

For the first time ever, Religion demanded the follower be Literate. It is Commanded the Fathers obtain Scrolls of the Torah and teach them to their children.

Moses Commanded; Thou shall read the Law before all Israel Deut-31:10,11

The Reading of the Torah remains the most sacred obligation of every Jew.

Yahweh was concerned, unlike other gods, about the actions of everyone of His people.

Yahweh actually cares.

If someone was cheating/exploiting widows and orphans, mistreating strangers and slaves.etc.......YHWH knew and became wrathful.

The polytheistic gods did not.

Yahweh in His written Laws provided preventive Medicine, unknown to Egypt and Mesopotamia.

He explicitly spelled out in excruciating detail and minutia exactly what He expected from each and every Israelite.

Each Israelite established a personal relationship with Yahweh.

All of Yahwehs Laws were written down and everybody knew them.

It was an absolute Judaic condition that every male was literate.

Ignorance of the Law was no defence.

The Hebrews were the first culture to universally embrace Alphabetic writing, the Torah is the first/oldest Religious Book written in an Alphabet.

The 10 Commandments were transmitted in a written Alephbetic form; Paleo-Hebrew.

Abstract letters/grammatical sequence/uniconsonantal phenomes.

The Alephbet/Alphabet introduced and enabled the possibility of Universal Literacy

So once upon a time in the Sinai Desert a radical new communication technology emerged that would forever change cultural perceptions and that the first people to utilize it would introduce fundamental principles and features underpinning Western Civilisation.

Historical Data: Proto-Sinaitic Alephbet=precursor of the Alphabet.

Discovered by Sir William Flinders Petrie, very early 20th century. Dated to: 1,800 BCE

Egyptian Coptic 2,000 years later/after

Tell el Armana Cache Phoenician 1,450 BCE letters from Canaanite Leaders to Akhenaton were scribed in Cuneiform

Akkadian Cuneiform in usage after Sumerian Conquest.

An amazing vortex of Science and History occurred in the Sinai that the worlds’ oldest alphabet was found where the Hebrew Nation had their seminal experience.

Yet another Unique Concept brought forth at Mount Sinai is the Concept of Free Will.

Throughout the Ancient Near East, Babylon, Egypt etc......humans 'believed their fate, destiny was in the hands of the gods.

The Sinaitic Covenant convinced the Israelites that every decision was theirs to make: Choose Life or Choose Death.

The choice between Right and Wrong was upon the individual. This beget the concept of Guilt, 'Guilty Conscious'; an internal Quality Control.

Moral Relativists may consider this an ambiguous area, but is it really?


Bottom Line of what occurred at Sinai, those many years ago, the Power that once had been given to pictures was transferred to written words.

The Power of the Right Brain was Transferred to the Left Brain.

The Alephbet/Alphabet is the Bibles Eminence Grise-The unsuspected power.



Superorganisms/memes compete, as one Entelechy rises, others fall.

Of all the Ancient Near East Superorganisms/Memes, only the Jews have survivied.

Alphabetic Literacy profoundly reconfigured the relationship between the Hebrews and their Deity and between the Hebrews and their neighbours. The other ANE cultures.

The Jews have an unshakable faith.

The Religious beliefs of the Sumerians, Babylonians, Hittites, Hyskos, Hurrians, Cretans, Mittani, Assyrians, Persians, Canaanites, Ugarites, Akkadians, Egyptians, Greeks, Phoenicians, Philistines, and Roman Belief Systems have diminished greatly and most have disappeared.
The Hebrew Faith has withstood the Viscitudes of times, surviving catastrophes that should have extinguished them.

Twenty police injured in nuke protest

AP
GERMAN police say
20 policemen were injured
during clashes with protesters
ahead of the arrival of
a shipment of nuclear waste.

true lilly wrote:Nuclear waste train heads into Germany
From:AFP
November 25, 2011 9:45PM
Last Updated: November 26, 2011

THE last train carrying reprocessed nuclear waste back from France
to Germany crossed the border today after being delayed by
demonstrations and steamed towards more trouble.

The train, carrying 11 wagonloads of vitrified radioactive material,
left a siding in the station of Remilly, just outside the town of Metz
and around 30km from the German border, at 7pm (AEDT).

Several hundred French riot police had protected the train overnight, and
around 60 German officers and a French "RAID" team - a SWAT-style
special weapons squad - were on board as it resumed its journey.

The train had left a yard operated by the French nuclear giant Areva in
Valognes, in Normandy, on Wednesday, due to travel more than 1100km
across France and through Germany to the waste dump in Gorleben.

But violent anti-nuclear protests delayed its journey, and authorities
halted it overnight while trying to keep demonstrators guessing about
its eventual route across the border and back into Germany.

Today, it finally crossed the frontier in the border town of Forbach, just south of Saarbrucken, and entered Germany.

Last November a similar controversial shipment took 91 hours to arrive at
its final destination - a day longer than planned - and it was dogged
the length of the route by French and then German protesters.

Around 50,000 activists turned out in Germany to try to disrupt the train
during that transfer, and protest organisers expect 20,000 to demonstrate
against the convoy as it nears the central town of Gorlebenlater on Friday.

Some 19,000 German officers have been deployed, and tear gas and water canon
were fired when clashes erupted overnight when a few hundred protesters tried
to block the line around 20km outside Gorleben.

Spooked by Japan's Fukushima disaster, Germany has decided to phase out its
use
of nuclear power, and thus bring to an end the controversial practice
of sending radioactive waste overland to France for reprocessing.

Anti-nuclear activists want France to follow suit and shut its reactors, an idea
firmly dismissed by President Nicolas Sarkozy, whose government believes
French industry is reliant on cheap nuclear-generated electricity.

There has long been widespread public opposition in Germany to nuclear power,
which environmentalists believe presents an unacceptable radioactive threat
to public health and the environment.

In March, the Japanese nuclear plant at Fukushima Daiichi was hit by an earthquake
and a tsunami, triggering a meltdown and massive radiation leak - and increasing
worldwide concerns over nuclear power.

Chancellor Angela Merkel's government agreed to halt German reactors by 2022,
forcing energy suppliers to close plants and levying a tax on fuel.

In the meantime, Germany will no longer send nuclear waste for
reprocessing in France, but will instead stockpile it until a way is
found to make it safe.

France produces 75 per cent of its electricity needs in nuclear plants - a
higher proportion than any other country - and its electricity bills are around
25 per cent cheaper than in its neighbours, a boon to industry.

German protesters are angry that Merkel's announced nuclear phase-out will
take another decade, and that there is still no permanent storage site for the waste generated in the country's reactors.

Deserts comprise 1.3 million square miles or about 44% of the land area of Australia.

Australia’s Desert Country

One third of Australia’s land is desert. Australia has 10 deserts of which the largest is the Great Victoria Desert, covering just under 5 percent of the country. Ironically, the Great Victoria Desert is not located in Victoria but is in Western Australia and South Australia. The Great Victoria Desert covers 348,750 square kilometres which makes it around one and a half times bigger than the UK or slightly smaller than Montana.

How Big is Australia?
Australia is the word’s smallest continent
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deserts_of_Australia

And if it isn't Desert Wasteland and flooded it's quaking, yes Suze, Australia is amongst the most unstable of Landmasses being part of the Ring of Fire.

Do you know any truths/facts? It doesn't seem so....hmmmmmmmmmmmm........



Australia’s first recorded earthquake after white settlement occurred at Port Jackson, New South Wales in June, 1788 and lasted for about 3 seconds.

Other earthquakes recorded in early Australian history were:

■Hobart in 1827
■South Australia 1837
■Melbourne in 1841
■Perth in 1849.
The first recorded deaths in Australia caused by earthquakes occurred in 1902, at Warooka, South Australia. Two people died of shock after a Richter magnitude 6.0 earthquake.


A train line damaged by an earthquake
In 1917, one miner died and 5 were injured in an underground rock fall triggered by an earthquake in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.

In the last 80 years, there have been 17 earthquakes in Australia registering 6.0 or more on the Richter Scale. This is a rate of about one earthquake every five years, compared to the world average of about 140 per year.

Although the larger Australian earthquakes have caused significant damage, they are much smaller in strength than the world's most-damaging earthquakes. Until Newcastle's December 1989 earthquake, the damage caused by earthquakes in Australia had been comparatively low.

Quakes that Shook the Nation
Here is a list of some of the major earthquakes to have occured in Australia in recent times:

1 March 1954, Adelaide, South Australia
Adelaide was awakened by a loud rumbling sound. This was followed by shaking, severe enough to crack walls and loosen plaster and chimneys from many houses. Although minor compared to many overseas quakes, the Adelaide earthquake was (at magnitude 5.4) severe enough to cause damage estimated at $350 million (1997 values). No serious injuries were reported.

October 1968, Meckering, Western Australia
One of the more serious Australian earthquakes in fairly recent years occurred at the small town of Meckering. Residents reported seeing ground waves as well as experiencing difficulty when driving as the 6.9 Richter magnitude earthquake struck. Old buildings collapsed, railway lines were buckled and pipelines fractured, and a 37 kilometres long fault scarp (up to 2.5 metres high) was caused. Sixteen injuries were reported and the total cost of damage estimated $50 million.

22 January 1988, Tennant Creek, Northern Territory
Significant earthquakes of magnitudes 6.3, 6.4 and 6.8 occurred near Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory. These resulted in large, long ground ruptures and a 35 kilometre fault (up to 2 metre displacement) which warped underground gas pipelines, but caused only minor damage to the hospital and some homes in the town.

28 December 1989, Newcastle, New South Wales
At 10.27am, Newcastle, Australia's sixth largest city, was partially devastated by a moderate earthquake measuring 5.6 on the Richter Scale. The Newcastle earthquake, the first lethal one in Australia, claimed 13 lives.

The devastation to buildings and other structures was extensive, which was unusual for a relatively-small magnitude earthquake. This was due mainly to an underlying, thin layer of alluvium, which appeared to magnify ground motion (shaking). The epicentre was located 15km West Southwest of the city centre, near Boolaroo.

August 1994, Ellalong, New South Wales
A damaging earthquake again affected the Hunter region of NSW, this time in the Ellalong-Cessnock area. Measuring 5.4 on the Richter Scale, it became our third most-damaging. Several homes, hotels and other buildings suffered seriously and up to 1,000 homes were partly damaged. Infrastructure, commercial and industrial losses also occurred. Insurance payouts were $38 million and total damage costs exceeded $150 million (1997 values).

The End of a Myth

A map showing the Earth's tectonic plates and
earthquake zones.
(see the text on the left for more information)
Despite Australia's seemingly low-risk situation in the middle of one of Earth's larger tectonic plates, we have had many earthquakes larger than that of Newcastle. The map to the right shows that Australia is in the middle of the Australian-Indian Plate.

The Australian Geological Survey Organisation in Canberra estimates that on average, the Australian region experiences an earthquake of at least this size, or larger, every 13-15 months.

Most of these earthquakes have been in low populated areas, so for many years people thought Australia could not be affected by this natural disaster. The Newcastle experience dispelled this myth!

Australian Geology
Due to Australia's geological position, we are prone to what seismologists call 'intra-plate' earthquakes.

These are different to the more familiar plate-margin earthquakes, common in areas like California in the USA and in Japan.

Soooo............if Australia isn't a Desert Wasteland, flooded or being jarred and quaked it is likely that the inhabitants are going to be Bar-B-Qued by Volcanoes, yes Suze-aka 'tru lilly/vera susa' Australia has many Volcanoes and Fault Lines which shatters your deception that Australia is a fertile and stable environment.

Is there a risk of a volcanic eruption in Australia ?

http://home.iprimus.com.au/foo7/volcmap.html


Mount Gambier ( Eastern South Australia ) Australia's youngest volcano.
A volcano filled with water. Erupted 4,500 years ago
"...volcanic activity must be considered a serious environmental hazard and risk for the Australian mainland. " Source: The risk of volcanic eruption in mainland Australia - E. B. Joyce.............................The Western Victorian Volcanic Plains are the third largest in the world and exceeded only by the Deccan in western India, and the Snake River Plateau in the United States ( Idaho-Nebraska ).

The Victorian Volcanic Plains are located in Western Victoria and covers over 2.3 million ha (10.36% of the State).
It stretches from Portland in the west to Craigieburn in the east and from Clunes in the north to Colac in the south.........................................“ There are around 400 volcanoes stretching from the Western District of Victoria into the Western Uplands around Ballarat and to the north of Melbourne around Kyneton and Kilmore, in some parts of the Eastern Uplands such as to the north of Benambra, and across to the South Australian border near Mt Gambier.
A volcanic eruption in the Western Uplands could potentially see lava flows and ash falls impacting on Melbourne.

There is also similar volcano risk present in various provinces in Far North Queensland, stretching from south-west of Townsville to near Cairns and up to Cooktown in the Far North. There are more than 380 volcanoes in total across this part of Queensland.
A future eruption in any of these regions would be unlikely to come from an existing volcano (as the volcanoes there are generally considered to be 'once only’ erupters).
Rather, future eruptions would occur at new sites nearby.
The geological record shows that new volcanoes in these areas have erupted perhaps every 2000 years in the past 40,000 years—and given there has not been a major eruption there for the past 5000 years, a significant eruption seems well overdue. " (3)
