Kingdom Fathers
Focus on the Family, "The Involved Father"
Fathers parent differently.
Fathering expert Dr. Kyle Pruett explains that fathers have a distinct style of communication and interaction with children. By eight weeks of age, infants can tell the difference between their mother's and father's interaction with them.
Fathers play differently.
Fathers tickle more, they wrestle, and they throw their children in the air (while mother says . . . "Not so high!"). Fathers chase their children and rough-house with them. Girls and boys both learn a healthy balance between timidity and aggression.
Fathers build confidence.
Go to any playground and listen to the parents. Who is encouraging kids to swing or climb just a little higher, ride their bike just a little faster, throw just a little harder? Who is encouraging kids to be careful? Mothers protect and dads encourage kids to push the limits.
Either of these parenting styles by themselves can be unhealthy. One can tend toward encouraging risk without consideration of consequences. The other tends to avoid risk, which can fail to build independence and confidence.
Fathers communicate differently.
A major study showed that when speaking to children, mothers and fathers are different. Mothers will simplify their words and speak on the child's level. Men are not as inclined to modify their language for the child. The mother's way facilitates immediate communication; the father's way challenges the child to expand her vocabulary and linguistic skills — an important building block of academic success.
Fathers discipline differently.
Educational psychologist Carol Gilligan tells us that fathers stress justice, fairness and duty (based on rules), while mothers stress sympathy, care and help (based on relationships). Fathers tend to observe and enforce rules systematically and sternly, teaching children the consequences of right and wrong. Mothers tend toward grace and sympathy, providing a sense of hopefulness. Again, either of these disciplinary approaches by themselves is not good, but together, they create a healthy, proper balance.
Fathers prepare children for the real world.
Involved dads help children see that attitudes and behaviors have consequences. For instance, fathers are more likely than mothers to tell their children that if they are not nice to others, kids will not want to play with them.
Malachi 4:1-6 NASU "1 For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze," says the Lord of hosts, "so that it will leave them neither root nor branch." 2 "But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. 3 "You will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing," says the Lord of hosts. 4 "Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel. 5 "Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. 6 "He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse."
Luke 1:17 NAS "It is he (John the Baptist) who will go as a forerunner before Him (The Messiah, Jesus) in the spirit and power of Elijah, TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS BACK TO THE CHILDREN, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
Pediatric Associates Magazine: "Children look to their fathers to lay down the rules and enforce them. They also look to their fathers to provide a feeling of security, both physical and emotional."

In reviewing the action this week between Iraqi forces and Shiite militia, it's instructive to compare press accounts of this conflict to reports from the 2006 Hezbollah-Israel conflict in Lebanon, as posted or discussed on this website. Some examples:
"Hizballah has proven to be a far more effective fighting machine than Israel anticipated, and the Israelis find themselves in a difficult situation: Continued military operations in Lebanon risk escalation and further destabilization, while a quick withdrawal would hand Hizballah a significant victory." Daveed Gartenstein-Ross ("DGR"), July 18, 2006. "Nasrallah admitted that it took five months of preparation to plan this operation." Olivier Guitta, July 19. 2006. "A senior Iraqi military adviser has said the crackdown is taking longer than expected, partly because militia fighters have superior weapons." Washington Post, posted March 28. 2008. "It's likely that Israel will begin a major ground engagement within the next two weeks designed to obliterate Hizballah's infrastructure and neutralize as much of its military wing as possible." DGR, July 18, 2006. "A source in the police command in Basra said he expected British and U.S. ground units to join the fight in coming days. Shiite fighters gave similar predictions." Washington Post, March 28. 2008.
There are still unknowns in the current situation. We don't yet know if Shiite militia possess the range of armaments, the training and discipline displayed by Hezbollah units in 2006, or the same degree of integration with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard that Olivier Guitta and Bill Roggio reported here (see Olivier's July 19, 2006 post and Bill's July 21, 2006 posts, during the period when our efforts were combined on this website). But it shouldn't surprise us if we find that the Shiite militias have prepared for the same type of warfare engaged in by their Hezbollah cousins in 2006, using Iranian arms, IRGC advisers and trainers, and similar tactics.
The obvious difference between Lebanon 2006 and Iraq 2008 is the direct action in Iraq by the U.S. military, who are now far more efficient in counterinsurgency and urban warfare than the Israelis were entering the 2006 conflict. Did the Shiite militia desire such a reaction? Is that why they shelled the Green Zone so early in the conflict with the Iraqi army, to draw the Americans in and inject more uncertainty over Iraq into the 2008 election cycle? Perhaps, perhaps not - perhaps it was a strategic miscalculation which will lead to the eventual defeat of the Shiite militias. But the Shiite militia leaders have already achieved one strategic goal: they showed Pentagon planners and American voters that the Iraqi army is nowhere ready to secure Iraq, much as Hezbollah exposed the weaknesses in Israeli armed forces. We can also expect that unless the American military completely wipes out the Shiite militia (an unlikely outcome given the tactics of the militia), the Shiites will take another page from Hezbollah leaders and claim victory, thus raising the morale of their followers and their reputation on "the Arab street." And that would mean another strategic victory for their Iranian backers.

Today we visited one of the most charming girls and her name is Kameya. She has not only beautiful name, but the wonderful body as well. The babe has almost finished her yoga exercises. She was tired and a little bit sweaty, but still was full of energy and enthusiasm. It was a real pleasure to hug her and caress. This was only the beginning. Kameya relaxed after the lovely foreplay and started to fill frisky. It took her less then a few minutes to leave her clothes on the floor and undress her partner. She was taking his dick in the mouth as if it meant to be there and her pretty pink kitty became really wet. As soon as the guy got inside her, she was moaning and willing to have her butt fucked.

If Orland Park trustees vote yes on a plan more than tripling the mayor's salary to $150,000 a year, it will lead to a big spike in Mayor Dan McLaughlin's future pension, a Daily Southtown analysis found.
Village officials are considering whether to raise the mayor's annual salary from $40,000 to $150,000 and expand the office's responsibilities, a move the village casts as a cost-saving measure in lieu of hiring two other administrators. The measure could be approved at Monday's Village Board meeting.
But if the deal goes through, McLaughlin's pension would soar.
As a member of the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, McLaughlin stands to receive 1 2/3 percent of his final rate of earnings for each year of service credit through his 15th year in the fund. After 15 years of service credit, McLaughlin would receive 2 percent for each year of service credit from years 16 through 40, with the formula reaching its maximum of 75 percent at 40 years of service credit.
McLaughlin currently has 31 years and 6 months of service credit in IMRF, according to the pension fund. If he wins re-election next spring and serves out the full term, he'll have 36 years of service to his name. That means McLaughlin would stand to receive 67 percent of his final rate of earnings.
An IMRF pension is decided by an average of the highest consecutive 48 months out of the last 120 months of what the pension fund calls final rate of earning — essentially their reported wages — multiplied by the percentage acquired through the previously-described calculation. Typically, the highest 48 months are the final four years before retirement.
Since McLaughlin currently makes $40,000 a year in salary as mayor, plus $3,000 annually as liquor commissioner, his highest 48 months would come during his next term in office, under the new pay scale. The Daily Southtown's analysis assumes he wins re-election and does not continue as mayor beyond 2021.
At that point, McLaughlin's initial pension would be more than $100,000 per year. The pension would grow by 3 percent simple interest each year, and after 20 years, McLaughlin would collect about $160,000 per year, a Daily Southtown analysis found.
By contrast, McLaughlin would start out with roughly a $30,000 per year pension if he retired at that point and kept his current salary.
Should McLaughlin retire at the end of his next term and receive his pension for 10 more years, he'd realize more than $1.1 million in that time frame under the pension calculated using the proposed salary.
That's compared to roughly $340,000 under the current salary.
After 20 years, he would have collected about $2.6 million in pension payments, from the higher salary, compared with roughly $770,000 as calculated under the current salary.
The village notes that each village employee contributes to his or her pension, while Orland Park also contributes to the IMRF. Based on the higher salary, the village says its contribution toward the mayor's pension would be $19,000 per year, with those payments ending once the mayor retires.
The village won't, at McLaughlin's request, provide an additional stipend to him to obtain health insurance. Also, the village points out, the mayor wouldn't be eligible, like other village employees, for step or cost-of-living increases to the higher salary.
In response to the Daily Southtown's initial report about McLaughlin's proposed salary hike, some residents and taxpayers questioned the impact it would have on the mayor's pension and said they felt it would be excessive.
The village countered that the alternative to paying the mayor a full-time wage — hiring another assistant village manager and economic development director — would be far more costly from a salary and pension contribution standpoint.
The village calculated that hiring the two positions would, over four years, cost Orland Park a bit more than $1.2 million in salary and benefits, as well as pension contributions totaling $120,000 over that period, versus about $77,000 in retirement payments for the mayor's position at the higher salary over the course of the coming term.
Job 'more demanding'
Along with serving as mayor, McLaughlin is executive director of the Builders Association, a trade group for the commercial construction industry in the Chicago area. He would quit that position if the mayor's duties are expanded and has told the group's board of directors about the very real possibility it will need to find a new executive director.
Any change to the mayor's salary would have to be approved at least 180 days before the start of the next term, which would be in May. McLaughlin, who turns 63 in January, served as a village trustee from 1983 to 1991, was first elected mayor in 1993 and plans to seek another term in April.
The mayor's job has become "more and more demanding," and "a lot more time could be spent (focused on the village) if I had the time," the mayor said in an interview with the Daily Southtown.
"I enjoy working for the village, I enjoy getting things done," he said.
Pegging the new salary at $150,000 — $153,000 including his pay as liquor commissioner — wasn't based on any sort of analysis of what mayors in comparable-size towns, but involved tossing out some numbers in talks with trustees, McLaughlin said.
"What would the CEO of a $150 million corporation make?" he asked rhetorically, referring to the size of the village's annual budget.
While declining to say what his salary with the Builders Association is, contending that making it public might impair the hiring of his replacement, McLaughlin said he would take a "substantial pay cut" in leaving that position, which he's held for a little more than three years. Before that, McLaughlin was executive director of the Plumbing Contractors Association of Chicago from 1991 until 2013, and executive director of the Plumbing Council of Chicagoland from 2008 to 2013.
In the wake of the well-publicized plan to expand the mayor's duties and boost the job's salary, McLaughlin said there has been no outcry over the proposal. Of the nearly 2,400 residents who participated in a recent telephone town hall meeting held by the village, four questions related to the move were received from residents, but none critical of the idea, according to Joe La Margo, assistant village manager.
"I'm hearing positive" feedback, the mayor said. "People are telling me it's overdue."
Latest Daily Southtown
Expanding the mayor's responsibilities won't mean doing away with the position of village manager. For now, Police Chief Tim McCarthy is standing in as village manager while a search is under way to fill the position, and the village hopes to have a short list of candidates in hand by sometime in November.
"They're running the village," he said of the manager's position, which frees up time for the mayor to "meet the people who want to meet me, or meeting the people I want to meet" to bring development to the village.

for lady_t_220 who asked for ...something seedy. The kind of hot that's all sorts of dirty!wrong and kind of makes you need a shower after thinking about it, but damned if you don't end up thinking about it anyway. And for her it must always be Hugh Jackman. :)
200 words
Not Mine.
This was all kinds of wrong. All kinds.
From posting the ad to giving out the hotel location and room number, to dimming the lights and stripping off his clothes. Leaving the door unlocked.
It was all kinds of bad. It made his cock impossibly hard, his face flushed, hot. His palms wet, his normally calm pulse race through his body.
He could find a discreet escort service. He could simply jerk off and watch porn, he was here under an alias. It wasn't like anyone could track 'Monster Truck Fuckfest' back to Hugh Jackman.
But he'd miss the set up. Cruising Craigslist. The careful, deliberate wording. The wait, the now that was killing him. Making him shiver and sweat as if he'd never done this before. As if no one would show. As if the wrong person would.
Heavy steps came down the hallway. Hugh's lips curled into a smile he couldn't control as the doorknob turned. Open and shut, click of the bolt.
Hugh stared at the carpet, sitting on the edge of the bed. Legs spread wide, hands on his thighs. Shudder running through him at the familiar voice.
His voice.
"Why aren't you on your knees?"

What is fiction? It permeates contemporary life: via novels we read, stories we tell, box-sets we watch, and as philosophers, thought experiments we use. Many think it should be characterised in terms of a relation to the imagination. In this essay, I'll consider prominent expressions of this view, as well as rejections of it. Before this, I'll introduce two methodological approaches that it's helpful to distinguish.

Andriesa Verloop Profile
From being a doubtful novice to truly living the Pilates lifestyle, Andriesa Verloop is the best example of how Pilates changes people's worlds.
"I spent many years in management positions within corporate concerns," she remembers. "These environments are very stressful, fast-paced and pressurised and it started taking a toll on my body.
"I started getting sick all the time and developed neck and backpain. I also saw co-workers struggling with similar issues and other diseases, which was mostly stress-related."
Pilates was mentioned to her as a possible solution and she signed up with a private studio. However, she was still doubtful of the exercise method. After meeting several other clients with various ailments, but great success stories, Andriesa decided to give this method at least three months to see whether it would yield positive results.
"Needless to say, I felt the change after about four weeks of regularly practising Pilates," she explains. "I was amazed by how wrong I had been doing my exercise previously, both from a body alignment point of view, as well as the type of exercise that I was engaging in.
"Before I focussed on loading my body and joints rather than unloading. With pilates I became more graceful in terms of the way I moved. I gained strength and flexibility that I never thought would be possible. After about 12 weeks I was pain free."
Andriesa had always loved exercise and was a competitive athlete and dancer since she was a child. Growing up she spent a lot of time in the gym and participated in - from running and golfing - to strength training and sweaty spin classes. But Pilates is the one movement discipline that tied them all together. She had found her passion.
"I enjoy how Pilates challenges your mind and body. There is always more to be learnt in every workout - the way you move, breathe or align yourself," she says. "It also makes you more self-aware. When doing Pilates at first, you become very aware of your posture and breathing. It spills over into your daily life whether you drive, sit, walk, move or participate in sport."
Andriesa qualified as a Comprehensive Pilates Instructor in the classical pilates style over 13 years ago and has worked with several physiotherapists & chiropractors since then. She has done numerous courses ranging from Anatomy and Movement; to Clinical Pilates and Rehabilitation, and various other fitness and pilates related courses for different population groups during her more than 13-year journey of managing a successful pilates & yoga studio. "To teach or train came to me naturally – having held managerial and training positions within various corporate concerns," she says. "Pilates changed my life and I have seen how it changed the lives of the clients whom I have trained. So, I thought: 'Well, why not spread the good work?'. "Joseph Pilates dreamed of having his method recognised and shared with others. The more I thought about the idea of teaching, the more I became excited about changing the lives of others by continuing to hold the torch of Joseph Pilates."
Andriesa has had to employ pilates trainers in her studio, so she was very much aware of the fact that there was a huge need for good qualified pilates trainers/instructors and she decided to use her knowledge, experience and passion, to provide a comprehensive pilates training programme to potential pilates instructors.
Andriesa also realised that by teaching people wishing to change their careers to become great Pilates teachers, she would also help them change their lives and impact positively on them, their families and the people they in turn teach.
So, the next phase was set. Pilates Dynamics Studio implemented the Pilates education programmes, with international and professional affiliations and recognition. Pilates Dynamics not only train potential instructors and giving South Africa well-trained and knowledgeable Pilates Instructors, but also to the rest of the world. Pilates Dynamics also offer various short courses for qualified pilates instructors with a need for further learning and development.
As an added benefit, Andriesa started travelling to conferences and workshops across the world.
"Being exposed to several different styles and communities, my Pilates knowledge has grown tremendously. I also network with instructors and studios all over the world."

I woke up last night almost every time I moved despite the Sleepytime tea and the pain medication. Was still interested in trying to get to the office, until I had a coughing jag while I was taking a shower. I swear it feels like my lungs are trying to come out through that gap in that 7th rib.
Called the boss, gave her the story and begged off from work the next couple of days whilst my meds hopefully work their magic. She made the right sympathetic noises and told me to take care.
See padiwack? Common sense wins after all!
But what a great way to start 2008! Not!

Zardari gets 24 hours to 'bring down political temperature'
ISLAMABAD - Under a new deal 'backed by Washington, London and the army establishment', Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has been given 24 hours to act on the lawyers' stir for overturning the controversial measures of former ruler Pervez Musharraf, a media report said Friday.
Zardari was Friday 'reportedly asked to go by the army and the Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani if he does not accept a new deal hatched by them in consultation with foreign powers', a Pakistan News website said.
'The new political deal, backed by Washington, London and the army establishment, has quietly been conveyed to Gilani to bring down the political temperature in Pakistan,' it quoted sources as saying.
As part of the deal, the sources added, Gilani has been asked to 'immediately convince' Zardari to 'demonstrate the flexibility required' to break the deadlock before the lawyers' Long March reaches Islamabad.
'The ball is now firmly in the court of Zardari, who has to take a decision swiftly on endorsing the agreement brokered by powerful international actors,' the report said.
Thousands of lawyers Thursday simultaneously began their Long March from Sindh, Balochistan and Punjab and will converge here March 16 for a sit-in before parliament to demand the reinstatement of the Supreme Court and high court judges Musharraf had sacked after imposing an emergency in November 2007.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has also joined the stir to protest a court decision barring Sharif and his brother Shahbaz Sharif from contesting elections.
The decision led to the fall of Shahbaz Sharif's PML-N led government in Punjab and the imposition of Governor's Rule in the province.
Pakistan Army chief Gen. Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani, the report said, met Gilani in Islamabad Wednesday and during the 90 minute meeting, asked him to set the deal in motion.
According to the report, if Zardari does not accept the new deal, the president's office 'will be completely marginalised, Zardari will be removed', Gilani will 'take over' as power 'will be restored' to the prime minister's office.
This apart, the PML-N will join the federal cabinet and deposed Supreme Court chief justice Iftikar Mohammad Chaudhary will be reappointed, the report added.
It, however, was silent on Zardari's future if he is removed from office.
A Pakistan News, according to a positing on its website, 'is managed by a team of professional news editors, sub editors and independent reporters'.

Sam Trego, President and Executive Producer of San Diego-based Imagination Entertainment, shares his take on the hottest acts and the ongoing importance of event entertainment.
What acts are the hottest for events? What we are finding that the music and theatrics of Broadway is starting to get hot again. Of course it doesn't hurt that the Tony's are now officially "hipper" than the Academy Awards, but there is new life in the concept of bringing Broadway into an event that we've not seen in five years. Hipster Broadway, anyone? Broadway is cool again! With "Jersey Boys" coming to the big screen, and every parent's child belting out "Let it Go," we are finding big demand for big Broadway performances, be it in your living room or in your ballroom.

Kaley and Christian, where do I EVEN begin with these two beautiful Floridians? 😉
Kaley and I first met when we were in our friends wedding(s) together last year in North Carolina! We are both a little out of the box (aka: loud and independent) LOL, so we immediately became friends! After our favorite twins were married in NC, Kaley went back to Florida and we kept in touch! I still remember sitting on the floor wrapping Christmas presents. With glitter on my hands and ribbon all around me, Kaley called and told me that Christian had proposed and she was going to be Mrs. Keen! EEP!
Heading to Florida to photograph these two on their wedding day was such a privilege. Their day was full of so much joy, laughter, fun, and happiness – which is a direct reflection of who they are as people. Together they make each other better and bring out their absolute best. I am so excited for Kaley and Christian as they begin their forever <3 Here's to the new Mr. and Mrs. Keen!!

Sterling silver is also an alloyed kind of silver, and this can be very durable. Quite a few different metals have been blended with the silver to make it even more durable. This type is called sterling silver and has become tremendously popular with girls in the current times. Cubic zirconia stones are all great options for diamonds.

You will find rings fitted together with cubic zirconia, earrings and pendants equipped with cubic zirconia; also it is also possible to get bracelets fitted using cubic zirconia. The rings are broadly utilized in weddings and other similar events. Though the CZ sterling silver bracelets UL are packed with trend quotient, in addition, there are other benefits because of these jewelery items are popular.
The price of jewelery is a lot under a bit studded with diamonds. On the other hand, the jewelery lasts for a life no matter the fact it is affordable.

While the psychological value cannot be when you can always save cash by purchasing the jewelery, which isn't costly, and even when it has stolen or has ruined someway you won't have a huge reduction.

Machinefabriek Explores the Domain of Voices
On With Voices, Machinefabriek collaborates with an array of highly reputed artists/vocalists, using his ambient techniques to accommodate their presence in his music.
With Voices
Western Vinyl
18 January 2019
Rutger Zuydervelt, the man behind the Machinefabriek moniker, has been traversing the far edges of ambient, drone, and noise domains, producing minimalistic works of electro-acoustic experimentation. Since 2004, these sound design explorations have resulted in a rich discography, and Zuydervelt's return now in With Voices, sees him further expand on this path, but with a slight twist. On his new album, Zuydervelt once more implements his sound crafting techniques to produce his trademark soundscapes. However, this time around these are used to surround vocal performances from an array of esteemed guests, which include Peter Broderick, Marissa Nadler, Richard Youngs, Chantal Acda, Terrence Hannum, Wei-Yun Chen, Zero Years Kid, and Marianne Oldenburg.
There is a subtlety in the core of Zuydervelt's work, and that is apparent in his ambient craftsmanship. The start of "I" sees this vision settle in, with Machinefabriek taking on a serene and yet electrifying form, reminiscent of Ben Frost's tactics. Similar is the subtle approach undertaken in "VI", where the minimalistic touch of Zuydervelt sees electronics and audio effects being left aside, and only the synth strings allowed to mold this ambient realm. This approach provides the resulting atmosphere with an organic touch, making it appear as a living organism that evolves through the various mutations Zuydervelt introduces.
The ambient approach provides a fertile ground for introspection, and Zuydervelt expands on his ritualistic setting to bring forth the more towering manifestations of Machinefabriek. That is the case with the appearance of Peter Broderick in "III", which sees the soundscapes morphing around the spoken word component of the track. The last part of "V" also implements a similar approach, which further exposes the ceremonial-like motif of With Voices.
Still, there is room for experimentation towards a different direction within this work, and it becomes apparent when the heavier editing process comes into view. "II" sees the vocal delivery of Chantal Acda being manipulated to great extent, creating a cut-up motif in impressive fashion. The result is a hazy sonic landscape, granting a further layer of abstraction to this work. "V" takes this mode a step further and produces an almost incoherent exploration of samples and sound design techniques. Still, Zuydervelt reaches the zenith of this approach with "VII", using once more this cut-up technique, merging vocal deliveries and field recordings into an amalgamation of harsh sounds.
Despite this tendency towards the stripped down ambient progression and the heavy editing/processing of vocals, With Voices also provides a counterpart to this endless experimentation. The melodic aspect of this work is powerfully pronounced, making a subtle first appearance in the opening track, when the mood tilts towards the serene. The presence of Marianne Oldenburg takes this a step further, as she unleashes an impressive and beautiful delivery in "IV". Still, even more impressive is the conclusion of the record, where the great Marissa Nadler makes an appearance. Here, Machinefabriek take an even more minimal approach, allowing more space for Nadler's delivery, which results in an ethereal final act that concludes With Voices.
With Voices is a very nice addition to the rich discography of Machinefabriek, one that sees the approach of Zuydervelt alter in order to incorporate these new elements to his project. The result is a strong record with a very nice balance between experimentation and lyricism.

Miyazaki-Inspired Lynn and the Spirits of Inao Canceled After Accusations of Not Paying Interns
A while ago, we covered the opening of a Kickstarter project for a charming platformed named Lynn and the Spirits of Inao, developed by French indie developer Bloomylight Studio, and inspired by anime and by the art and mythology of Studio Ghibli's movies.
Over the past few days, the studio received many accusations online by several developers who mentioned having worked on the game as interns, alleging that the work they did was unpaid. In France, where the studio is located, it's illegal not to pay interns when the internship lasts more than two months.
Faced by growing negativity, Bloomylight Studio posted an update today on its Kickstarter page, announcing the cancellation of the project.
"First of all, thank you to all of the backers who supported Lynn and the Spirits of Inao.
After being deeply affected by the various stories from the past few days, and conscious of the mistakes from the past which are now harming the game, we have taken the difficult decision to end the adventure here. In the face of the violent declarations made to us and the threats uttered against members of the team, we now have to end this project that was born in 2011. It is regrettable that a handful of individuals were able to destroy the work of so many people and that they spent so much energy to cause a relentlessness of incredible violence against our team.
We would like to thank all the people who contributed to the game and got involved in the project. These last five years spent working hard on Lynn and the Spirits of Inao were an unforgettable experience motivated by the passion to create a game of quality and to offer a new experience.
Thank you for your understanding.
Bloomylight Studio."
Before its cancellation, Lynn and the Spirits of Inao received €37,056 in pledges from 1,695 backers. That said, the campaign was not completed successffully, so no one will actually be charged for his pledge.

User-centrism is flawed
- posted August 6, 2018
If you want some Monday morning inspiration, I suggest you watch this video.
It is a 1997 meeting where Steve Jobs is addressing the Apple team after his return to Apple. He explains the new product, distribution and marketing strategy to the team. And towards the end he highlights what we, as UI/UX professionals, have been forgetting all along.
Core values.
We get so bogged down by the user that we forget to look at the core values of the product we are designing. In fact there are people who recommend looking at behavioural traits, or personality traits to build their archetype personas. This is wrong.
Carl Jung defined it as:
"Persona is a mask of the collective psyche"
It is a mask. Do not get attached to it.
In this video Steve Jobs articulates Apple's core value. That people with passion can change the world. And Apple is about enabling those people who dare to think different.
That definition changed how Apple thought about design. And defining the core values before we start will also change the way we think about design,
I've working on a process along these lines. If you have any questions or ideas do feel free to reach get in touch.

Ibstock is another one of those former mining towns near to the National Forest that specialises in working class pubs with salt of the earth people.
It's a proper blue collar kind of place and the pubs reflect that but in an era of gastro (pubs that is not enteritis) it's a welcome throwback to find pubs where locals come out in force and wear their colours with pride.
There weren't any Leicester City shirts when I walked into 151- The Whimsey Inn LE67 6LH but a big St George's Cross flag (you might see it in Russia this summer) adorned one of the walls and I've not seen that for quite some while.
It's a boozer that, from the outside, looks like two semi-detached houses knocked through and joined together, so I was intrigued to see it inside.
As I entered the atmosphere changed from loud banter to dentists' waiting room and it was almost as if I was being tested to see what beer I chose…
However, a pint of Pedigree (Marston's) at £3.25 does the trick in these parts and there were plenty of 'nods' and 'alright's' as it became clear that my Brummie tones were only here for the beer.
Actually, that's being a bit harsh as everyone was friendly enough and was happy to direct me to the toilet when requested and one of the punters even held the door open for me when I left.
I really like places like this as, once you are in the door and minding your own business/accepted into the fold, then the locals are usually absolute diamonds.
It was noticeable of the people I saw leave no one was heading to their cars, which is a sure fire sign that this is a good local boozer serving its community and the mix of father and son, Hi-viz jacket, middle aged couple, old boys, very friendly bloke who moved from his bar blocker position, were all in a very small area meaning they were all eavesdropping each other and the banter was increasing.
The Leicester City flag leaves you in no doubt that this is a pub where they like to party like Jamie Vardy and the electronic scoreboard with the dartboard as well as a pool table in the backroom ensure there are some lively times in here I would imagine.
As it was, at around 6pm on a Thursday, there were enough people in to make an atmosphere and there was plenty of thoroughfare of people popping in on their way home from work to show that this place is ticking along nicely.
Ibstock is having a huge amount of housing stock built on the edge of town so the potential is there and this place was clean, tidy and has clearly been spruced up in the not too distant past and definitely had plenty of TLC showered on it.
There were TV screens up, Central News was playing and it reminded me why I watch the news less and less in the current era.
F****** Brexit! Whichever way you voted, and it was a monumental decision, it is now boring the pants off me. I felt like putting my foot through the TV screen as yet another 'economic expert' made a gloomy prediction about the future whilst the likes of Nick Clegg join the House of Lords rendering any views from the public irrelevant as they will generally block what they want anyway…
A rare bit of politics there folks but not to worry normal service is resumed as I'll soon be talking about eighties music, sport and Bass!
On reflection, I thought putting my foot through the TV screen wasn't the best move to ensure I stayed ingratiated with the locals of The Whimsey so I just read the local CAMRA mag instead (The Half Pint – very good it is too)
I'd like to come to this place on a Friday night as I reckon it would be a hive of activity and whilst I probably won't show up at noon on Sunday to watch Blues play at Villa I reckon Leicester home games on the box are a riotous occasion.
An excellent local boozer demonstrating how nearly every local in the East Midlands has at least one ale on and drinking it is a sure fire way to break down any barriers as Pedi is the unofficial language of the East Midlands.

Small ships sailing in southeastern Alaska ply shallower waters and slip quietly into remote coves and harbors that big ships simply can't access. They call at off-the-beaten-path ports. They often get up-close to wildlife and marine life. Simply put, they sail "into the wild."
Here are Travel Agent's top "Into the Wild" experiences during our recent seven-night "Alaska's Glacier Bay and Island Adventure" itinerary on Alaskan Dream Cruises' 74-passenger Chichagof Dream.
Sea Lions & Whales
Throughout our cruise, we spotted multiple Stellar Sea Lions along our itinerary route. Mostly, they were sprawled over rocks adjacent to shorelines or on rocky isles. The males can reach up to 1,300 pounds, yet they scoot around on small flippers.
It was a thrill to observe this male sea lion group (shown in the photo below) sprawled over a rocky outcropping of South Marble Island within Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. (Photo by Susan J. Young; all rights reserved)
As with Africa's lions, Stellar Sea Lions have shoulders and necks that are disproportionately larger than the rest of their bodies. Each summer they gather in massive groups or in rookeries.
During our May cruise, we also spotted both humpback whales and orcas (in one case, an entire pod of orcas).
Whenever whales, sea otters, bears, mountain goats or seals were spotted by the ship's naturalists or bridge crew members, they announced the sightings over the ship's PA system and provided guidance as to where guests should look.
At times, the ship detoured a bit from its course or maneuvered closer to the wildlife to give guests the best views.
That said, some cruisers also saw wildlife "within civilization" -- not simply in the wild. For example, bald eagles were prolific in Sitka and could be spotted perched on utility poles, tall trees or dock pilings.
Also, on a shuttle bus ride through downtown Petersburg, passengers spotted a Sitka black-tailed deer adjacent to a home; it was just one block from the main commercial street.
Exclusive Orca Point Lodge Evening
Allen Marine, owner of Alaskan Dream Cruises, also owns and operates both whale-watching tour boats and Orca Point Lodge on Cold Island.
The lodge is a popular daytime stop as part of a whale watching shore excursion (for big-ship passengers boarding in Juneau). However, for all Alaskan Dream Cruises' voyages, the company also sets up an exclusive, upgraded evening event at the remote lodge.
As Chichagof Dream anchored off Cold Island, we boarded a transfer ferry boat and were shuttled to a pier at the lodge. Upon arrival, we visited a covered structure with several marine-life touch tanks. Cruisers who so desired could touch sea stars, sea anemones or a hermit crab.
Guests then enjoyed drinks and savored the pristine wilderness views from either the inside dining room or the lodge's outside deck. Some cruisers walked the beach, picking up rocks. Others eye-balled the Alaska products, crafts, gifts and souvenirs in the lodge's gift shop.
What's special? Besides the stunning views, we dined on prime rib, flame-grilled salmon and Alaskan king crab with drawn butter. Plus, the event offered guests many other Alaska specialties, salads, soup and many yummy desserts.
Crew members started a bonfire in front of the lodge and served "smores" to guests. Or, cruisers could roast their own marshmellows over the fire.
As the sun set, our group re-boarded the shuttle boat to return to Chichagof Dream, visible just a few hundred feet away. For many cruisers, this special evening event was one of the highlights of the cruise.
Kayaks & Motorized Water Craft
Chichagof Dream carries its own fleet of colorful kayaks that can accommodate one or two guests. The ship also has two nimble "DIBs," or Demaree Inflatable Boats.
Operated by skilled crew members, the DIBs -- rigid-bottom inflatables -- will transport guests close to shorelines (beaches, sheer rock faces and forested areas) as well as glaciers in Alaska's fjords.
On our specific cruise, these DIBs were deployed within Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, in remote Saginaw Bay on northern Kuiu Island, within Tracy Arm, and elsewhere along Chichagof Dream's route. Often, they made wet landings with guests hopping out for hiking or beach walks.
Kayaking was set up by the crew in select locations along the route, such as within Saginaw Bay. Timing was based on sea conditions.
To make it easy and safe for loading/unloading of kayaks, Chichagof Dream has custom-built kayak launchers. In the photo below, kayaks are shown in the water, as viewed looking down from an upper deck. (Photo by Susan J. Young; all rights reserved.)
Our cruise on Chichagof Dream attracted a broad mix of passengers -- from Millennials to mature travelers in their 80s and 90s. Most guests were in their 40s-70s. Many were fit, others not.
Naturalists encouraged potential kayakers about the fun and ease of the experience, and were most willing to assist novices. Some guests on our cruise headed out kayaking for the first time.
Others knew how to kayak, but hadn't done it for many years. Several guests were passionate, experienced kayakers in search of their next adventure.
Important to note? All kayaking and DIBs outings were strictly voluntary. The crew wasn't pushy if a guest didn't choose to go. Simply put, it was the guest's choice. Some travelers stayed onboard and just watched.
Kake & Tlingit Culture
An absolute delight? It can be described in one word: "Kake"
Situated on Alaska's Kupreanof Island, Kake is a small enclave of about 500 residents. About 70 percent of those are of native Tlingit descent.
Yes, the island has seen more prosperous times in the past -- when timber and seafood manufacturing were in high gear -- but the island residents' spirit remains strong.
As guests walked off our ship, they could see the abandoned Keku Cannery, with various buildings constructed between 1912 and 1940 for the Pacific salmon canning industry.
Fortunately, it's recently been designated as the Kake Cannery National Historic Landmark. The Tlingit community and the U.S. National Park Service are working to rehabilitate it and turn it into a hub for arts, culture and nature-based tourism, while retaining the old cannery's historic features.
Adjacent to the cannery, we boarded a school bus and headed out to see a master totem pole carver demonstrating his carving instruments. Then it was on (by bus or by hiking) to a seaside spot that's home to a 132-foot totem pole, described by locals as the world's tallest.
Commissioned by the City of Kake and carved from one cedar tree in Haines, AK, it was displayed at the 1970 World's Fair in Osaka, Japan. It was installed in Kake in 1971, and over time has faded, weathered with time and storms, and is now secured by cables.
Our Tlingit guide explained that the design incorporates symbols from Tlingit clans, as well as Tsimshian and Haida tribes. At its base, the totem pole depicts a strong man ripping a sea lion in half; frogs, salmon and orca images grace the pole, and an eagle is perched on top.
The highlight of our Kake tour, though, was a cultural/dance performance put on by local Tlingit residents at the Kake Community Hall & Gymnasium.
Outside a Tlingit elder who is a former U.S. marine and Korean War veteran, proudly greeted us in his colorful tribal regalia and displayed military-related memorabilia.
Inside, we sat on the gym's tiered benches, while dozens of residents – toddlers to elders – danced into the gymnasium in their family's tribal -- and very colorful -- red, blue and green regalia. (Photo above by Susan J Young; all rights reserved).
Chanting and moving to the rhythm of a hand-held drum, they presented several dances before beckoning cruise visitors to join them on the dance floor. Many cruisers did, and it was a joyful celebration of immersion into a different culture.
Hiking Into the Wild
Throughout our southeastern Alaska itinerary, Chichagof Dream sailed in "waters less traveled" -- often without views of any other vessels, villages or towns.
So, if travelers love to get out and explore – walking through a temperate rainforest with a skilled guide, checking out the flora, birds and potential wildlife along the way, this kind of cruise is a great option.
Hikes, which were guided by the ship's onboard naturalists or a Tlingit guide, were set up almost every day, depending on weather. In fact, hiking was "built into" many destination experiences.
In an "educated guess," I'd say about 80-85 percent of guests headed out on every hiking option offered.
In Petersburg, a shuttle bus picked up passengers from our the ship and dropped them at the trail head for Hungry Point Trail, a quiet trail that bisects the town muskeg and offers mountain views. At times, black-tailed deer can be spotted along this trail.
When the hike concluded, the shuttle bus picked passengers up and either dropped them in downtown Petersburg or back at the ship.
During a call at Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve at Bartlett Cove, Gustavus, AK, cruisers went ashore and also hiked on either a long trail or a shorter one, depending on their interests and physical condition.
When they returned, two separate groups spoke enthusiastically and humorously about their big wildlife sightings -- in one case a red squirrel, and in another case, a porcupine sauntering along the trail.
On another day, after a visit to Marjorie Glacier, the ship headed for Reid Glacier, where the DIBs took guests close to the glacier and then headed for an adjacent beach, where guests stepped ashore for a beach walk.
Could be improved? I felt much more detail in advance was needed for guests about hike specifics or other options for the day ahead. The information provided in the nightly turn-down sheet about the next day's activities was too vague.
For example, it would be good to know if a morning hike is a quarter mile, two miles or even longer in distance, or whether the hike involves uphill climbing. It would also be helpful to know in advance that a shuttle bus will run back to the ship continuously between 3 to 5 p.m. from a certain spot.
People on vacation like to know what to expect. Fortunately, Alaskan Dream Cruises told Travel Agent that it is indeed working to add more detail in guests' written communications such as the information sheet (about the next day's activities) placed on guest beds during the nightly turn-down service.
Bears, Bears, Bears
Certainly, most cruisers say that spotting a bear in the wild is a "bucket list" travel experience. In Alaska, the chances are good.
Onboard Chichagof Dream, an enrichment lecturer gave a presentation on bears in Alaska, so guests knew what to expect. Did you know that black bears can actually be brown, reddish, black or even a silver-like color? It's true.
As the small ship sailed through Tracy Arm Fjord, we spotted a black bear (with brown coloring) close to the water, along a sheer rock face. It was tearing apart barnacles for the tasty, salty treat inside.
What's nifty about a small ship is that it can get close to such scenes -- much closer than bigger ships with a deeper draft.
We were instructed about the importance of being silent when wildlife were spotted. Thus, we didn't disturb the bear and could snap photos, observe its behavior and soak in the "eco-moment."
As the ship sailed on farther into Tracy Arm, there was another alert. Guests on our cruise were ecstatic as four more black bears were sighted, also picking through barnacles along the water. This group included a mother bear and three older cubs, both brown and black in coloring.
On previous cruises -- both big ship and small ship alike -- I've spotted bears in Glacier Bay, on a trail atop Juneau and along a mountain road outside Skagway. So guests have a decent chance of perhaps seeing a bear in the wild.
Still, if for any reason cruisers don't see wild bears but are spending a pre- or post-cruise stay in Sitka, there's a good option. They can simply head to the Fortress of the Bear, an orphaned bear rescue operation outside town.
It's a nonprofit attraction that's home to some gorgeous bears that visitors can safely view from above. See photo below (Photo by Susan J. Young. All rights reserved).
Parting Thoughts
Travel Agent sailed on Chichagof Dream's seven-night voyage from Juneau to Sitka. It visited Glacier Bay, Frederick Sound, Tracy Arm, Saginaw Bay, Petersburg and Kake.
For a look at the ship itself for onboard dining, accommodations, public spaces and enrichment acties, check out our recent story.
Other Alaskan Dream Cruises' itineraries are operated on this and other ships in the fleet. Some voyages call at the same ports as listed above, while others sail into such destinations as Metlakatla/Misty Fjords, Skagway, Thorne Bay/Kasaan and Wrangell.
Small ship Alaska cruises give passengers a chance to hike, go kayaking, spot wildlife and marine life, and just soak in the 49th state's scenic beauty.
These voyages also deliver an authentic land experience -- with guests learning first-hand about Alaskan culture, lifestyle, heritage and the great outdoors from native Tlingits.
Simply put, for travelers with an explorer mindset, a small-ship cruise provides an easy, comfortable way to journey "into the wild."

The Higher Ed Growth team joined top customer engagement professionals for CallMiner's Listen 2016 earlier this month. Our company has attended for years and this event stood out in many ways.
For one, it was bigger. With 40 percent more attendees, customer engagement is clearly building momentum. It's a reflection of the industry and a growing need for automation, robust analytics engines and a deeper understanding of end users.
More and more are seeing the benefits of automating reporting and scorecards. And Listen 2016 was an opportunity to share those benefits and the steps taken for validating and calibrating deployments with one another. Everyone had their own individual journey to contribute — a Eureka moment, of sorts — but there seemed to be a common foundation: building.
Building the Right Team
Companies rolling out speech and interaction analytics for the first time can enjoy many immediate advantages, but will also need to consider the changes to long-standing company roles, team member responsibilities and overall dynamics. From agents to leadership, these new tools impact every layer of the organization. It's critical to build the right team and provide proper on-boarding.
Here are some of the changes to consider: Calls will no longer need to be manually reviewed, which saves time and allows for resources to be focused in other areas. Reports now reveal agent and lead sentiment, which offers contact leaders another layer of understanding and provides opportunity for additional communications training. Engagement knowledge also allows businesses to better forecast and mitigate issues before they arise, which means processes may need to shift accordingly. All of these efforts add up to increased performance and positive outcomes.
Building Scores
Eureka Version 10 was rolled out during the event and has given CallMiner'shttps://callminer.com/learning-center/video-library/callminer-semantic-building-blocks/Semantic Building Blocks tool new utility and additional functionality. Anecdotally speaking, we've been using the new version in our higher education marketing technologies since September and have seen a significant improvement to customer experience, school matching and enrollment rates. Prior to Eureka 10, we were at an 86 percent student-to-school match success rate. Now, we're at 95 percent. It's become easier to create and locate specific categories that we want to build, and ensure our scorecards are flagging correctly.
Building Collaboration
Featuring several round-table discussion formats, Listen 2016 seemed to focus on collaboration more than ever before. The sessions ranged from compliance best practices to real-time monitoring. We certainly got a lot out of the discussions, and the implementation conversations seemed especially helpful for first-time users. Most, if not all, walked away with answers to individual implementation questions — knowledge that could be put to use right away after the event.
Listen 2016 captured everything that CallMiner and its tools do so well: provide new ways to harness and understand data. Optimize processes. Solve problems. Without a doubt, analytics professionals and attendees not only gained new techniques, but a new perspective on their customers — and businesses.

High School Musical reunion to feature Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu
Zac Efron is the only major cast member not attending the Wildcats' special one-off gathering but has promised a "special surprise" instead
Our favourite Wildcats graduated five (yes, five!) long years ago but they're busy plotting a special one-off reunion…
Organised by Monique Coleman, who played nerdy Taylor McKessie in the hit Disney trilogy, the young cast members will come together once again for a High School Musical party to raise money for Coleman's foundation, GimmeMo'.
Vanessa Hudgens (who played Gabriella Montez), Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay Evans), Corbin Bleu (Chad Danforth) and Lucas Grabeel (Ryan Evans) are all confirmed to be attending, along with the trilogy's director, Kenny Ortega.
The High School Musical franchise first began in 2006 with the Disney Channel's hit movie which followed the students at Albuquerque's fictional East High School and spawned two sequels. The trilogy concluded in October 2008 with High School Musical 3 and made stars of its young, musical cast, many of whom have since pursued careers in the movie industry.
The reunion is a one-off, private bash, but the good news is Coleman is hosting a competition for one fan to be flown to LA and attend. The bad news is it doesn't look like lead actor Zac Efron will be joining his former castmates due to a busy work schedule. However the 26-year-old, who played popular Troy Bolton, has promised a "special surprise" for the winner of Coleman's competition.
In the meantime, the graduates of Albuquerque's East High School have been busily hyping up their reunion on Twitter…
Can't believe it's been 5 years since HSM 3! Come join the party :). Visit http://t.co/p4V8P9XDhP to find out how. #hsmreunion
— Vanessa Hudgens (@VanessaHudgens) October 24, 2013
Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay) also tweeted about it…
Wanna come party with us?! Visit http://t.co/GpbfccDwMs to find out how #hsmreunion #5yrsHSM3
— Ashley Tisdale (@ashleytisdale) October 24, 2013
Monique Coleman (Taylor) also spoke out…

— Monique Coleman (@gimmemotalk) October 25, 2013
Thinking of entering the competition?
Take a look at the trailer for the cast's homecoming…

We're trying to have a family and I don't feel safe with you here. Martha:
Lucy? Lucy:
What? [louder] Lucy:
What? Martha:
You're gonna be a terrible mother.
What's wrong with you?Rating: 7/10 Greetings again from the darkness. This one has been on my radar since
the Sundance Festival and all the raves about Elizabeth Olsen's
performance. After attending a screening last evening, I find myself at
a loss to adequately describe not just her stunning turn, but also this
unusual film from writer/director Sean Durkin.On the surface, this sounds like just another movie peeking inside a
creepy cult that brainwashes, and psychologically and physically abuses
women, and is led by a charismatic (and creepy) religious style
figure-head. There are many similarities to the Manson-family story of
which much has been published, but Mr. Durkin takes the film in a much
different and very creative direction by concentrating on what happens
to Martha (Olsen) after she escapes the cult.In the Q&A, Durkin states he did much research and found the most
fascinating story to be that of a cult escapee and what she went
through during her first three weeks of freedom. Martha sneaks out
early one morning and places a panic call to her older sister, whom she
hasn't communicated with in two years. Settling in to the lake house
with big sis and new brother-in-law, it becomes quite obvious that
Martha doesn't know how to fit in society and has absolutely no
interest in discussing her recent past.The sister is played very well by Sarah Paulson, and her husband is
Hugh Dancy (so very good in Adam). This seemingly normal yuppie couple
is trying to do right by Martha, but the fits of paranoia, outbursts of
anger, and societal goofs are just too much for them.The genius of this film is in the story telling. The cinematic toggling
between today and moments of time at the cult farm house leads the
viewer right into the confused mind of Martha. We don't get much back
story but it's obvious she was "ripe" for cult world when she was
chosen. We see how Patrick, the quietly charismatic leader, sings her a
song and steals her heart ... she wants so much to belong. We also see
how she bonds with the other women at the farm house, and ends up in a
situation that seems to snap her out just enough so she finds the
strength to leave. The editing of scenes between these two worlds in
outstanding and serve to keep the viewer glued to the screen.Last year I raved about an independent film called Winter's Bone. I
chose it as one of the year's best and it ended with some industry
award recognition. I am not willing to say this film is quite at that
level, but I will say that the younger sister of the Olsen twins,
Elizabeth, delivers an incredible first feature film performance and
Sean Durkin deserves an audience for his first feature film as
writer/director. Another bond between the two indies is that John
Hawkes plays the cult leader Patrick, and Hawkes was a standout in
Winter's Bone.There will undoubtedly be some debate about whether this is cutting
edge independent filmmaking or just another snooty art-house
mind-messer. All I can say is, I hope the film grabs enough audience
for the debate to matter ... it deserves it.

Judge: North J
Where made: Perth
Native title exists in the entire determination area. Exclusive native title rights include:
- the rights of possession, occupation, use and enjoyment of the determination area as against the whole world. However, these rights and interests are subject to the laws of the State and Commonwealth, including the common law. The rights are also subject to the traditional laws and customs of the native title holders.
Native title is held by the Birriliburu People.
Non-native title rights and interests that exist in the determination area include:
- minerals as defined in the Mining Act 1904 (WA) (repealed) and the Mining Act 1978 (WA); or
- petroleum as defined in the Petroleum Act 1936 (WA) (repealed) and in the Petroleum and Geothermal Resources Energy Act 1967 (WA); or
- geothermal energy resources and geothermal energy as defined in the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources Act 1967 (WA);
- the nature and extent of native title rights and interests in relation to water in any watercourse, wetland or underground water source as defined in the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act 1914 (WA) at the date of this determination is the non-exclusive right to take, use and enjoy that water;
- rights and interests held by reason of the force and operation of the laws of the State or of the Commonwealth including the force and operation of the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act 1914 (WA) and the Aboriginal Communities Act 1979 (WA);
- the right of any person to use (subject to the laws of the State, in particular the Aboriginal Affairs Planning Authority Act 1972 (WA) and Regulations where applicable) any road in the determination area over which, as at the date of this Determination, the public has a right of way according to the common law;
- the interests of Lodestar Minerals Limited in exploration licences;
- the right of an employee or instrumentality of the State, Commonwealth or Local Government Authority to carry out the performance of statutory or common law duties where such access would be permitted over private land; and
- rights under the Titles (Validation) and Native Title (Effect of Past Acts) Act 1995 (WA) as at the date of this determination any existing public access to and enjoyment of, waterways, beds and banks of foreshores of waterways, stock routes or areas that were public places at the end of 31 December 1993 and the right of any person to use and enjoy subject to laws of the State and the Canning Stock Route.
In the case of conflict, the exercise of non-native title rights and interests will prevail over the non-exclusive native title.
The Mungarlu Ngurrarankatja Rirraunkaja RNTBC as the prescribed body corporate, is to perform functions required under the Native title Act 1993 (Cth) and to act as agent for the native title holders. The native title is held on trust for the native title holders.
|Detailed Information:
The claim is over 66,698 square kilometres of the lands and waters located in the Little Sandy Desert region in the Western Desert, north of Wiluna and west of Warburton in central Western Australia. There are four applications to this claim. The original claim of Birriliburu #1 covered an area of 66,698 kilometres. Two exploration licences applied to this area but were later surrendered and a consent determination was made in Birriliburu People v State of Western Australia [2008] FCA 944. The area of Brilliburu #1 overlapped with the area of Brilliburu #2. Brilliburu #3 was filed and covers an area outside Brilliburu #1 that involves a pastoral lease and a small area of the Canning Stock Route. Brilliburu #4 was then filed to cover the areas within Brilliburu #2 that were previously subject to exploration licences.
The court found the Brilliburu People have commercial rights within the native title determination area provided the right was consistent with the group's traditional laws and customs (National Native Title Tribunal 2017).
Details Judgement
Through mediation, agreement has been reached as to the terms of a determination of native title to provide recognition of the native title rights and interests held by the Birriliburu People in relation to the part of the land and waters covered by the Birriliburu Application's #2 and #4. The signed agreement was then filed in the Federal Court pursuant to s 87 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth). The Court was satisfied that a determination of native title was within the power of the court.
