Zoology with Marine Zoology
Zoology with Marine Zoology provides students with a thorough grounding in general zoology, based on an exploration of the diversity of animal form and function, and an examination of their behaviour, evolution, ecology, development and morphology. In addition, students acquire a specialised knowledge of the conservation, physiology and behaviour of marine invertebrates, through a series of modules available across the college of Natural Sciences. Our aim is to provide you with sound zoological training and equip you with skills necessary for a career in the field of zoology and marine science. The provision of a diversity of laboratory and field zoology experience, especially in relation to marine organisms and their habitats, is an important component of the course, as is the acquisition of transferable skills (data analysis, group work, presentational and writing skills, IT skills). The School is unusual in boasting its own Zoology Museum with a large collection of vertebrate and invertebrate specimens and an extensive marine aquarium. Our location on the northern coast of the Snowdonia National Park and close proximity to miles of sandy beaches, makes it an ideal place to study Zoology with Marine Zoology.

1996 - Of course, this was all marketing hype, as the system, released in Japan on June 23. Thousands line up to be the first to experience the world's first true 64-bit home video game system. More than 500,000 systems are sold the first day even though it was actually a bit disappointing from a performance standpoint. Nintendo also stubbornly retained the old and expensive cartridge format, despite the CD-ROM drives in the machines of its competitors. This would prove to be a crucial miscalculation, as the CD-ROM format allowed the PlayStation and Saturn to do things that the poor old N64 just couldn't manage. It also raised costs dramatically, cutting down on the system's third party developer support. Nevertheless, the N64 sold respectably around the world, but it was definitely in a distant second to Sony's PlayStation. For the first time since the video game revival, Nintendo was not in first place.
In early September, Nintendo introduces the Game Boy pocket, a sleeker, 30-percent smaller version of the world's most popular hand-held video game system. On September 29, Nintendo 64 launches in North America. The entire initial shipment of more than 350,000 units is sold out in three days. Super Mario 64 is proclaimed by many as "the greatest video game of all time!" For the Super NES we saw the release of the third game in the continuing Donkey Kong series, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble.
1998 -Nintendo introduces Game Boy Color and innovative devices Game Boy Camera and Printer, bringing new life to the longest running hit in the history of interactive entertainment. Pokémon, a breakthrough game concept for Game Boy, was introduced to the world and generated a nationwide craze to collect 'em all! With the release of Banjo-Kazooie for Nintendo 64, new characters were added to the ever-growing list of popular Nintendo characters. The most anticipated video game ever, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo 64 was released, setting new standards and breaking records for pre-sell for any video game to date.
n64 roms can now be played on Apple iPhone N64 emulator.
zelda 64 has to be zipped in order to fit on the memory card.

Bucks Pocket State Park
Buck's Pocket State Park is located on Sand Mountain in the northeast Alabama, east of Guntersville Lake and 2 miles north of the Grove Oak community. This secluded 2,000 acre park is in a natural pocket of the Appalachian Mountain chain on Sauty Creek, a tributary of Lake Guntersville. The park straddles DeKalb, Jackson, and Marshall counties. The park was opened in 1971. The name is said to come from a legend which states that a group of Cherokee hunters cornered a buck deer on a high ledge, where the frightened animal leapt off the ledge into the deep rock pocket below. Another tale says that the area was once a gathering place for buck deer that roamed the area by the hundreds.
The park's picnic area has a canyon rim natural vista into the pocket below. The park has an improved campground as well as 20 miles of hiking trails and 6 miles of equestrians trails. Buck's Pocket teems with wildlife, a variety of birds and waterfowl, wildflowers, thick hardwood forests, dramatic vertical bluffs, and clear creeks. Spring wildflowers and autumn leaves are also major attractions of the park.

In 1964 A-dec's founders created a working philosophy to promote a sense of community and a commitment to support schools and dental professionals who help the margins of society. While some may recognize this as a case of doing the right thing, we view our dental equipment donation program much simpler than that. We give because we want to.
Because of the number of donation requests, A-dec has established eligibility requirements based on the greatest need among qualified candidates.
Are you eligible to receive a donation?
North American and international requests are considered. Also note that a large portion of the available equipment has been used in the United States and is configured to U.S. electrical standards.
Equipment is available periodically and may not necessarily meet any specific need or schedule.
Recipients are required to sign a donation agreement before taking possession of the equipment.
Is your organization a non-profit with a current year IRS tax exemption?
Do you offer free services to your patients?
Are the service providers for your organization qualified dental professionals?
Is your facility open for service at least 40 hours a week, 50 weeks per year?
To begin the process, please provide the following information, in writing, to the A-dec Donation Committee.
Non-Profit Status — Organizations must maintain a non-profit status. Please indicate how your agency is funded, and include the following: financial statement, budget documentation, your most recent Form 990 filing, and a copy of your IRS tax exempt form.
Number of Patients — Indicate the number and type (children, homeless, elderly, etc.) of patients served and information about whether any of the patients are charged for service.
Personnel Using the Equipment — Enclose a list of personnel who will use this equipment (dentists, hygienists, dental students, etc.), including the number of volunteer hours provided by dental professionals during the past 12 months. Also indicate whether any of the dental personnel are reimbursed for the services they perform.
Equipment Usage — We would like the donated equipment to be utilized on a year around basis. Please indicate the hours of the day, and the days of the week, that the equipment will be used. Include the type of equipment you are requesting and the voltage requirements, as well as the type and age of equipment currently being used.
In addition, include any brochures or organization-pertinent information. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call 800.547.1883.

The Dungeon Seeker – Volume 4 Chapter 4 Part 1
Chapter 4 – Fourth Examination 2 ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ (Part 1)
「Honestly……I got careless. I was looking down too much……」
When Junpei returned to the previous bush, Ami disappeared.
No, more specifically, a part of her clothes and the baggage was left there.
Junpei started to search around together with a click of his tongue.
However, at the same time, *Jiwari……*, a dull pain runs in his head.
The power that Junpei is using, is a super power called sixth sense that should originally be not a part of a human's body.
But he is forcefully using that using his monstrous evasion efficiency, and creates the effect of a high-performance radar.
There was no way that fatigue would not accumulate in this brain if he uses it many times in a short span of time.
While having that faint pain and discomfort, Junpei searches in the surrounding information.
Several footsteps that exist around the place. The faint traces that cannot be noticed with the naked eye enters his head as information.
「I see. We were being followed too……」
While holding the knife from his waist, Junpei called out towards his back.
「Hey, the two of you there?」
*GasaGasa*, the leaves and branches shook.
The ones who came out of the bush was a thin young man with missing teeth, and a middle-aged man with long hair and untrimmed beard holding a sword in one hand while grinning.
「He〜, Nii-chan……you noticed us huh……on top of that……you defeated Boris too」
The man with missing teeth shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "This is out of expectation……".
「Hey, Danna? Since he defeated Boris, that means he's quite skilled right? I hate that you know……?」
Junpei picked up Ami's clothes that were thrown away and stomped towards them.
「……what the heck happened? The torn……no, the clothes that were forcefully taken off……it's dropped here though」
"Honestly, I did not think at all that I would get beaten by small fries outside the labyrinth. There's no doubt that that carelessness led to this situation", Junpei thought.
Junpei really felt that is used to surviving through desperate straits, but worst than a beginner when it comes to protecting another person.
Towards Junpei who was worked up, the man with an untrimmed beard said jokingly.
「Ahh, the reason why the clothes were torn……well, I thought of having a taste of her, but this guy stopped me」
「Danna, don't blame me for that……」
While making a wry laugh, the man with missing teeth said.
「Well you know, she smelled like cherries……」
「Cherries?」
「Yes, that's right. If you took away her virgin before we offer her to John-san, if things go worst……we'll get killed」
「There's no problem as long as we don't get caught」
The man with missing teeth says while making an indecent smile.
「No, no, no! He'll know since there will be blood coming out!」
「Haha! That's true! Hahahaha! I mean, I don't mean that. There's also women who don't bleed」
「Eh? Really?」
「Well, there's those who bleed and those who don't. Though, it's something like a gamble」
「Either way, I don't want to play a gamble like that!」
To their vulgar conversation, Junpei felt slight nausea.
ーーreally……all of these guys, they can't be saved. Well, thanks to that……I can do many things, so you can say that it's convenient since it is.
「And then, why were you waiting for me here?」
「Thinking about it carefully, John-san also likes men after all. We noticed that after attacking that woman after you and Boris disappeared. That looking closely, you also have a decently cute face」
「I see……so you're were planning on catching me, and offer me to that John whatever……no, you were planning on using me as a tool to kiss his ass」
And there, the man with untrimmed beard shook his head.
「Well, it's not like I'm planning on fighting you」
「Boris-san, he's the most skilled among us following John-san」
「We thought that, Boris-san would bring you back after kicking your ass. But since you came saying that you defeated him……well, we might be at an advantage 2v1, but……we don't want to bet it」
「By the way, how many were you originally? Since there are two who remained here……there should be at least one who took Ami away right?」
「Yeah, well, there are three of us. We sneaked towards that girl and made her breathe in sleeping grass……well, it was an easy job」
「That is strange……」
「Ami's job is Thief. And……it's not like she's dumb. Wouldn't it be hard for the three of you, to sneak onto her without letting her notice?」
"Ahh, about that huh……", *Pon*, the man puts a fist to his palm.
「My job, it's a bit rare you know」
「Rare?」
「It's the special job Ninja. Adding to that, well, I'm a bit light-fingered. I even fell to the underground guild, and I am here. Well, the abilities that Thieves who work to steal and Ninjas who work as assassins are somewhat……no, they're quite different. When if comes to surprise attacks, just a Thief wouldn't be able to notice me」
「Ninja……huh」
Junpei nodded with satisfaction.
「Ninja, if I'm correct, it has skills that increase agility right?」
「You're asking something strange……are you talking about【Idaten】? It's the skill that Ninjas have in the first place. It's the most basic, and effective skill……increasing the evasion status by 75%」
「I see. Multiplying bonus huh……that's great」
Junpei nodded with a face full of smiles.
He cannot be blamed. His evasion efficiency that is currently already 4300 will be increased by another 75%.
He cracked his knuckles, showed to fingers in front of the two. and declared.
「Two seconds. I'll take care of you in two seconds」

Inside a dark dim cave.
The bare rock that had a faint green moss was being lighted by a candle.
Feeling that her lower half was being tampered, Ami woke up.
ーーthis place……is……?
"I should be inside the forest just a moment before……", Ami thought.
"No……", Ami used her sleepy head and think.
ーーI was, they sneaked on me from behind, I didn't notice at all.
I was forced to smell a strong sleeping drug……and……
And there, Ami quickly opened her eyes and raised her body.
「…………ahccha……this is the worst」
A situation where she is only wearing her bra and shorts.
And, a huge naked man licking Ami's feetーーJohn Burg.
「Y-Y-Yo, You wake……? You wake!! Hehehe……hehe!……」
Is something funny, John started to laugh out loud.
His spit scattered and his drool fell to the groundーー"Did he just use some drug……", Ami narrowed her eyebrows.
However, it is not the time for that.
After all, without a doubt, her chastity is in danger.
「Haha! Hahaha! Ayayayay ask……I-I-I-I want t-to ask!!」
「Ask?」
「Hehe! Hehehe!!……heeehe!! You, good, too……but」
While scattering his spit, John asked Ami with a loud voice
「You, t-that man with you……he-he-hehe, he! He, where? Where is he?」
「E-Exam, a-always……five days! BORING! SO BORING! T-Tha, That'ss w-why……I! AY! That m-man……h-he has a c-cute face! T-That's why, the-the-DA!……two……you two……I-I will……t-take care……you two……sooo, soooooo, much……………kufufu……ufufu……」
It is not at the level of physiological repugnance. It was abominable.
It was so detestable that goose bumps quickly spread in Ami's skin.
「W-W-Where? W-Where is he? Y-Yo-You, YOU were t-together?」
Ami checked the surroundings with the corner of her eyes.
Although there rock was bare, it looks like it was not an ordinary cave. Although it is unknown what the cave was used for, there is a wooden door that seems to be the entrance/exit.
Ami is only at a three-meter distance away from the door.
Quickly finishing confirming that, she looked at John's crotchーー
「I won't say it even if I die!」
ーーand released a kick.
The kick was a critical hit……and because it clearly hit the balls, Ami made a guts pose in her mind.
"HYAN!", John made a girlish high-pitched tone, and fell to the ground.
Ami left him like that and started running to the door with her fastest speed.
ーーafter getting the first hit, it will be the stage of Thieves.
There was no way that the escape would not succeed because she focused on escaping on top of a successful surprise attack.
Ami sprinted towards the door with her first movement having a godly speed, and held the door knob.
As far as her skill confirmed early, there was no lock.
Ami pushed and pulled the door knobーーbut it would not open.
「……is there someone outside……closing it?」
With Ami's words, a laughing voice could be heard from outside.
「Well, well, I was asked by John-san to be the gate guard you know? I'm sorry but, you can't escape the cage」
「ーーtsk!!」
Ami could not help but click her tongue. She tried to break the door with a slam but she clearly loses to the gate guard in power.
"What should I do……", she looked around inside the room again. However, there was no other exit.
And while that happened, John stood up while pressing his crotch.
「Y-Yo-YOU……Y-Y-YOU!! Y-Y-YOU……bitch……」
What came to John's mind was not anger but rather, happiness.
「Uu! Uu!……Ushishi……hya!……usshi!……t-t-this……this is!………fuu!……fuhhi! FUHYA!! YOU'RE……YOU'RE SO CUTE!! FUHIHI!!!」
*Hita, Hita*, while making eerie footsteps, John approached Ami.
And that thing in his crotch started to standーー
Ami held her mouth from disgust. Her stomach fluid went up to her throat that she might vomit anytime but she desperately held it back.
Seeing that, John asked feeling strange.
「We……WEIRD! WEIRD GIRL! Fuhihi! I-I-It's not like……it's a b-big deal!……why, vomit? Ne〜, ne〜? Why vomit? A-A-After all……i-it's not like, y-you're……vir……kufufu……virgin……」
Seeing Ami with a pale face, "Is it that……", John made an indecent smile.
「Y-Y-You……d-don't……t-tell……me……you……vir……kufufu……virgin? Kishishi……」
Instantly, the thing in John's crotch became larger once again.
Its size could be as large as a baby's arm.
At least, it has a size and shape that was enough to stir up Ami's fear who, having no sexual experience.
John grabbed both of Ami's shoulders.
「S-Stop……stop please……」
Not minding her plead at all, John forcefully pushed Ami to the ground.
「Ushi……ushishishi……!」
Once again, John started to lick Ami's toe.
Does he have a fetish for feet, he places her toe in his mouth and thoroughly licked it.
While desperately holding back her disgust and nausea, Ami calmly analyzes the situation once again.
Inside the cage, there is only Ami and the beast.
The difference between their status are clear. On top of that, they are under a lawless situation where everything would be forgiven other than murder.
And, Ami has participated in such exam aware of that.
ーーI'm completely screwed.
John's sticky tongue went up, from her toes to the top of her foot, it went up to her shit, and came to her thigh.
And there, John took off his tongue from Ami's skin for once, and approached her face.
「Ushi……ushishi……」
From how he was wetting his lips, it looks like he was planning on kissing her.
However, there was a matter that made her shiver more than his disgusting face.
John who is excited has a rough breathing. Adding to that, he is breathing with his mouth as well.
There is only a 20cm distance between the two's faces, and inevitably, John's breath directly goes to Ami's nose.
And his smellーーit was too foul smelling.
It was likeーーsubstances from rotting organs were extracted, and after boiling it for three days and there nights, it was left outside for weeks during a rainy seasonーーit smelled like that
Because of the situation and that despair-like breath, Ami was finally about to be crushed by grief.
ーーbut, in this kind of world, while doing work of thieves……having my body clean by itself, might have been a miracle. Even when I got caught once, I was only confined and tortured too……
She looked at the ceiling with those feelings of resignation.
"It'll end while I'm counting the stains in the ceiling……", she had read a similar line in a manga or something. "Come to think of it, that was a line during the bridal night of a political marriage……", Ami thought while having tears in the corner of her eyes.
John's lips were already there. If John moves his head just a little bit, it will be the auspicious first kiss.
And after that, it will probably be a one-sided heated deep kiss.
John's bad breath, it is already no different with feces.
"Really……", Ami thought. "What kind of joke is this……", she added.
But at that timeーー
ーーthe explosive sound of the door being destroyed echoed.
An instant later, a "person" came flying.
That small man, he is probably John's subordinate who obstructed Ami from escaping from the other side of the door.
*Dosun*, together with that sound, he crashed into the back wall.
Surprised, John raised his body.
But in the next instant, John received a kick on his face and was blown away backwards while his nose blood scattered.
「Eh? Eh? EH?!」
In Ami's confused eyes, another peculiar scene occurred.
Beside Junpei who entered slowly from the door, one man was standing.
That man was wearing a collar that seems to be for dogs, and had his leash held by his master, Junpei.
From how he was pressing some of his bruises on his face, even Ami understood that that was the result of him getting beaten up instead.
「Stop right thereーーyou fucking bastard. I hate guys like you the most」
Junpei took off his cloak and threw it to Ami.
「It looks like I was barely on time. Sorry for being late」
And towards John, Junpei said while raising his middle finger.
「Get out……I'll play with you」

Wow… I was scared for a second that Ami was going to end up as broken as Noriko…
Aaaaaand with that jumpei has 9 of his 10 skill slots occupied, I wonder what kind of skill jumpei can get from this guy who looks more like a zombie
wshall1902 says:
err… no. With this, he still has two slots left before he has to start throwing some away with Trash Box.
1)All Status Ailments Resistance
2)Butcher (Super-Class)
3)Monster Tame (Beginner Class)
4)Mimicry (Super-Class)
5)Acceleration (Special)
6)Rise of the Herculean (Heroic-Class) / +650 Attack Power
7)Explosive Strong Body (Master-Class) / +350 Attack Power and Defense Power
8)Idaten (Job) / +75% Evasion Efficiency
9)Throwing (Master-Class)
Max limit of skills (not counting appraisal eyes and trash box): 10
I think you counted wrong
yep. you've got all those that were on the chart – but the chart listed two that weren't yet his.
Total of 10 – yes.
He only has:
He does not have any of the others on the list as of this page. Idaten, Throwing and one other are NOT his yet.
So he has 3 slots left, using only 7 total.
sry. He did get Idaten from the ninja. so he has 8 of the total 10 at this time…
The total skill slots were given to us back in chapter one. That's where the 10 total comes from.
Trash Box and Appraisal Eyes don't count toward the total number of skill slots.
One thing we don't know is whether or not once he gets his new job class (his current job is Jobless with the Skill Hunter Title-type thing), if any skills he gets from his new job will require skill slots or be separate. He may have other skills still Sealed, such as Trash Box was.
Confusing thingy (@DanPamfiloiu) says:
With this chapter nobody should mistake Ami as Noriko
Taylor Allen says:
Hell Ami looks even better than Noriko imho
to clear up the confusion:
– Noriko? just picture the Undead King for her.
– Ami? just picture cute innocent side-kick.

Kuroh143 says:
KILL JOHN NOW!!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS CHAPTER BUT IT'S A CLIFFHANGER……
chaosezel says:
Thanks for the update.
And somehow,
"「Stop right thereーーyou fucking bastard. I have guys like you the most」"
wouldn't you mean 'have' -> 'hate' here?
Mzku says:
you're most likely correct, but if you think about all the ppl he's met in the story, it could very well be "have" as well lol or at least "have met"
Possibly own since they're supposed to be "powerful" and since he sees Junpei as strong but perception is in one's on position.
If you're right, maybe the better line(in my opinion) would be like this :
"「Stop right thereーーyou fucking bastard. I hunt guys like you the most」"
or something like this.
crywolf641 says:
Hmmm well this wont take long?
Somehow, I can see this turning into the prison scene from Wil Smith's movie – Hancock.
One ends up with a neck-brace…
One has trouble sitting down…
Ekachai Homjan says:
speed + 75% is overkill now gotta be fun
Bagoes Shusuke Amagai says:
With poker face and at least john get torture, bdsm, and get violent
Thank's for the chapter… you really fast.. i love it
macktheknife123 says:
Thanks for the chapter. I am at the point that I do not care for any of those so called human individuals with special skills. I hope Junpei starts skill hunting more after this to all the human hero's and the starts throwing a lot of them away.

You do it because it pisses other people off. And people who are pissed generally don't think straight and do stupid things. Like try to attack and rape the God of Death.

Coulomb-Blockade ist das Verschwinden der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit eines Strompfades über ein Nanoobjekt, weil dieses wegen seiner kleinen elektrischen Kapazität zur Umgebung keine elektrische Ladung abgeben oder aufnehmen kann. Der Effekt ist nach Charles Augustin de Coulomb (1736–1806) benannt, wurde aber erst viel später vorhergesagt und beobachtet.

Das Nanoobjekt kann ein kleines leitfähiges Partikel, eine leitfähige Insel auf einem Isolator oder auch ein sogenannter Quantenpunkt sein. Es ist zwischen zwei Leitern (manchmal in Analogie zum Feldeffekttransistor als "Source" und "Drain" bezeichnet) angeordnet. Das Nanoobjekt muss über zwei ausreichend hohe elektrische Widerstände kontaktiert werden, das geschieht in der Praxis durch den quantenmechanischen Tunneleffekt. Das heißt, dass ein kleiner Spalt zwischen dem Nanoobjekt und den Stromleitungen besteht; dieser kann auch mit einem Isolator gefüllt sein. Die Elektronen überwinden den Spalt durch Tunneln.

Tritt ein Elektron auf das Nanoobjekt über, so ändert sich die Spannung des Objekts um , wobei  die Elementarladung und  die elektrische Kapazität zwischen dem Objekt und der Umgebung (inklusive der beiden Leiter) ist. Bei einem ausreichend kleinen Objekt kann diese Kapazität so klein sein, dass die zur Spannungserhöhung benötigte Energie größer wäre, als die Elektronenenergie, die durch thermische Anregung und die angelegte Spannung zur Verfügung steht. In diesem Fall kann das Elektron die Energie nicht aufbringen, um auf das Nanoobjekt zu gelangen, und der Stromfluss ist blockiert.

Um den Effekt zu beobachten, muss also die Kapazität zwischen dem Nanoobjekt und der Umgebung sehr klein sein und die Temperatur niedrig genug, dass thermische Anregungen nicht ausreichen, damit ein Elektron das Nanoobjekt "aufladen" kann. Beispielsweise hat eine Metallinsel von 100 Nanometer mal 100 Nanometer Größe, die durch heutige Lithografie-Technik leicht hergestellt werden kann, auf einer Oxidschicht der Dicke 1 Nanometer und Dielektrizitätszahl  eine Kapazität von 10−15 Farad. Um für dieses Objekt Coulomb-Blockade beobachten zu können, sind Temperaturen von unter 1 Kelvin notwendig; die angelegte Spannung darf nur im Mikrovolt-Bereich liegen. Bei noch viel kleineren Objekten kann aber auch bei Raumtemperatur eine Coulomb-Blockade beobachtet werden.

Das Phänomen der Coulomb-Blockade ist Grundlage für den Einzelelektronentransistor.

Q: WPF - bottom controls gets cut in grid rows I've created a form using WPF, all the layout is built using grid and stack panels. It worked well in version 1.0.1, in version 1.0.2 I added a new row with a combobox. Surprisingly it resulted in bottom controls in rows 2, 3 and 4 getting cut (partially obscured) - but only when I run the app, during editing it looks fine. I wonder what is the problem?

Marvel's Runaways and Cloak and Dagger to Get Crossover Episode
The episode will air during Runaways Season 3.
byJordan Sirani
Posted Aug. 2, 2019, 3:17 a.m.
Marvel's Runaways and Marvel's Cloak and Dagger will get a crossover episode during the former's third season later this year.
All 10 episodes of Runaways Season 3 will be released December 13 on Hulu. Details on the crossover have not been revealed, though more information will be released closer to Season 3, according to Marvel.
The casts of Runaways and Cloak and Dagger (via Marvel)
Cloak and Dagger executive producer Joe Pokaski previously shared his excitement for a potential crossover with IGN. "I think there's so much fun to be had and that'd be great," said Pokaski, "but there's also the realities of this multi-million dollar industry that sometimes you can't play as much as you want to."
Runaways Season 3 will see the kids "frantically search for their captured friends" and "go head to head with an unstoppable enemy who has targeted Leslie," according to Marvel. Cloak and Dagger, meanwhile, wrapped its second season on Freeform in May, with its titular characters headed to New Orleans.

Measuring Progress: Is Life Getting Better?
Edited by R Eckersley
This book is the most wide-ranging exploration of national progress yet undertaken, spanning social, economic and environmental perspectives. It brings together some of Australia's leading researchers to consider indicators of national performance, what they tell us about the quality and sustainability of life in Australia, and how these measures can be improved. It also includes commentaries by senior bureaucrats, academics and community representatives.
At one level, the debate is about the adequacy of Gross Domestic Product, as the dominant indicator of a nation's performance, relative to both the past and other nations. However, the debate also reaches far beyond this question to challenge conventional thinking about progress and the relationships between economic activity, quality of life, health and well-being, and ecological sustainability.
By Richard Eckersley
Progress and its Measurement
Perspectives on Progress: Economic Growth, Quality of Life and Ecological Sustainability
This paper explores the concept of progress, of how we make life better. It looks especially at the relationships between economic growth, quality of life and ecological sustainability.
The paper draws on three streams of research and analysis: (1) public perceptions of life satisfaction, quality of life and the future; (2) the nature of progress and the development of new measures of progress; and (3) the 'story' of Australia as revealed by six indicators that describe aspects of economic, social and environmental change over the past 100–150 years.
In Australia and other developed nations, we have defined progress in mainly material terms and measured it in terms of a rising per capita GDP (Gross Domestic Product). The equation of more with better — of standard of living with quality of life — is coming under critical scrutiny in the research literature, but remains largely unquestioned in mainstream public and political debate. At best, the issue is dealt with in a fragmented fashion. The fundamental assumptions about the relationships between economic growth, quality of life and ecological sustainability are rarely highlighted or explored.
The rationale for economic growth seems flawed in several important respects: (1) it reflects too narrow a view of human well-being, and fails to explain why, after 50 years of rapid growth, so many people today appear to believe life is getting worse; (2) it overestimates the extent to which past improvements in material well-being are attributable to growth; and (3) it underestimates the gulf between the magnitude of the environmental challenges we face and the scale of our responses to them.
There is evidence that the developed world has passed a threshold, a point beyond which economic growth (as currently defined and derived) ceases to improve quality of life. New indicators that adjust GDP for social and environmental factors suggest the trends in GDP and national well-being, once moving together, are now diverging. Sustainable development offers an alternative to conventional growth as a path of progress, but exactly what it means and how it can be achieved remain unclear.
The crux of the debate about progress is the direction of change. Will we improve the quality and sustainability of life by continuing on our present path of progress — increasing average wealth to give the average consumer greater choice? Or do we need to find a new path that leads in a different direction, towards new personal and social goals? Both expert analysis and public opinion suggest the need to canvass more openly the possibility and feasibility of new directions.
Citizenship and Progress
By Mike Salvaris
This paper examines some key problems — political, social and methodological — in systems to measure national progress. They include:
• the democratic legitimacy of such systems;
• the meaning and adequacy of the concept of 'progress' adopted;
• the standards against which progress is claimed; and
• the neglect of important measures of social, civic and environmental well-being traditionally considered vague or controversial.
The paper traces the historic development of ideas about progress, their use to further particular political interests and the way state-based statistical systems often reflect these influences. It argues that the present time is an especially appropriate time for Australia to develop a new system of indicators or 'social audit' reflecting broader answers to the question: what kind of society should Australia be? Such a system would integrate economic, social and environmental notions of 'progress' and its development could be linked to other social change processes such as constitutional reform and the renewal of citizenship.
Finally, it examines briefly the National Citizenship Project, a collaborative project between universities and the community, aimed to develop a new national system of indicators and benchmarks of citizenship and well-being.
The Science and Politics of New Measures of Progress: A United States Perspective
By Ted Halstead
This paper provides a general overview of the conceptual, political and practical issues involved in developing new indicators of national well-being, summarises recent US governmental and non-governmental attempts to broaden measures of national progress, and discusses how the successes and failures of the US indicator experience can help guide Australia's initiatives in this arena. Topics covered include: (1) why indicators matter and the growing interest in incorporating social and environmental capital in national accounts; (2) the history and shortcomings of the GDP, including how critiques of the GDP are beginning to transcend the conventional political spectrum; (3) the central options in developing new measures of national well-being (e.g. aggregated versus disaggregated indicators, monetised versus non-monetized indicators); (4) a discussion of the Genuine Progress Indicator, its strengths and weaknesses as a measure of well-being, and the political strategy used in promoting it in the US; (5) a review of the recent successes and failures of US governmental efforts to broaden measures of national well-being, including a discussion of current threats to the nation's data-gathering apparatus; (6) an overview of the growing community indicator movement in the US; and (7) how better indicators can lead to better policies, and the type of policies that would follow from more accurate valuation of social and natural capital.
Measuring Changes in Economic Welfare: The Genuine Progress Indicator for Australia
By Clive Hamilton
Economic growth, measured by growth of GDP, is the principal objective of economic policy. Yet most economists would agree that it is a poor indicator of changes in national well-being. One of the shortcomings of GDP as a measure of well-being is that it does not reflect the economic or ecological sustainability of activity. Growth can be maintained for a time while stocks of physical, natural and social capital are run down. The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) has been constructed for several countries as an attempt to create a better numerical measure of changes in sustainable social well-being. It adjusts personal consumption for, among other things, changes in income distribution, the value of household work, the costs of unemployment and various social and environmental costs. The results of the Australian index are presented.
Measures of Economic Activity and Welfare: The Uses and Abuses of GDP
By Steve Dowrick and John Quiggin
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has never been intended by economists to measure the welfare of a society. Rather it is a useful measure of fluctuations and trends in certain types of economic activity — most, but far from all, of which have the potential to enhance welfare. One bonus of the GDP measure is its apparently consistent quantification over time and across countries. The uncritical use of such measures for inter-temporal or inter-country comparisons can, however, be very misleading. The paper discusses application of this measure to assess Australia's economic progress over the last half decade.
Although a range of alternative measures of economic activity have been proposed, it may be preferable to amend only gradually our definition of GDP whilst explicitly recognising many other aspects of human and social welfare in the wider context of social indicators. Adding together a variety of indicators with arbitrary weighting and scaling can lead to endless disagreement over the implicit valuation of the individual components. We briefly introduce methods of applying economic principles to this problem. The principle of 'opportunity cost' can be applied to social outcomes which in turn allows the principle of 'revealed preference' to be applied as a measure of progress or regress. These principles can be applied to take account of differences across countries in life expectancy, producing an economically meaningful alternative to the Human Development Index. This measure reflects the actual costs of choices faced by individuals and policy-makers.
A Framework for the Presentation of Indicators of National Progress
By Dennis Trewin
Few, if any, economists worldwide would disagree with the notion that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is not sufficient in itself for analysing national progress. This widespread belief has led to a move towards developing alternative indicators. These are often a composite of a number of different indicators. Indeed, several composite indicators have been developed over time, with the Genuine Progress Indicator having received a lot of prominence recently.
Whilst such measures may be effective in capturing headlines, they are difficult to interpret accurately. This paper argues that a preferred approach is to develop a set of indicators, linked by an underpinning statistical framework. Several possible frameworks exist, including those used in some other countries. This paper examines some of these frameworks and alternative measures and concludes that the 1993 System of National Accounts (SNA93), with its satellite accounts and social-accounting matrices, provides the most suitable framework.
Summary indicators can be derived from this framework. As well as providing the underlying logic for the set of selected indicators, the framework can also supply the more detailed data to support further analysis.
Well-being and Quality of Life
Measuring Progress in Population Health and Well-being
By Colin Mathers and Bob Douglas
Traditional mortality indicators such as life expectancy and infant-mortality rates have been used for over 100 years to monitor the health of populations. However, they are no longer adequate for low-mortality populations of developed countries, where the non-fatal consequences of disease and injury for health and well-being are of similar importance to premature or preventable mortality. Future progress in population health must increasingly relate to improving quality of life rather than quantity of life. Two major types of population-health indicator have been developed that combine mortality and quality-of-life information into a single indicator: the health expectancy and the disability-adjusted life year. We review these and use them to address the question of whether Australians are becoming healthier as they live longer.
The world health community has repeatedly endorsed a definition of health which goes beyond the absence of illness and disease and incorporates the concepts of physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being. While there are well-validated indicators of disease, the measurement of the impact of disease and of physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being as positive constructs has been left almost untouched. Furthermore, as the population-environment issues bite, the sustainability of current levels of population health have not adequately been measured or predicted.
It has become urgent to inject indicators of well-being and sustainability into the way health/positive-care systems are organised and structured. We briefly review some of the available indicators and measurement instruments for positive well-being and identify priorities for further work.
Measuring Social Capital As Part of Progress and Well-being
By Eva Cox
Present measures of well-being tend to be economic, or what might be termed socio-economic. With respect to social capital, few of the existing measures of attitude and process can be used to assess how people feel and therefore predict how they may act. The 'objective' measures we have are very limited as they assume that people feel good when financial journalists do. The correlation between good economic data and social well-being is assumed to exist, to be significant and adequate for assessing where we are and may go. We measure the easily measurable and these figures may be grossly misleading. We need to examine what types of measures would round out one dimensional static snapshots. Levels of what may be called civic and social trust may be better predictors than school retention rates or household disposable income of how people feel and therefore the health of the social systems.
Who Enjoys Life and Why: Measuring Subjective Well-being
By Alex Wearing and Bruce Headey
In seeking measures of national progress, we present a brief overview of what is involved in measuring what one might call 'subjective well-being', its components, and the factors it relates to. We then present a very straightforward measure of national well-being, 'happy life expectancy', which is the average level of subjective well-being of a nation's citizens, multiplied by the number of years they can expect to live. This measure is shown to be substantially correlated with a range of other important social and economic indicators.
Incomes, Standards of Living and Quality of Life: Preliminary Findings from the Middle Australia Project
By Michael Pusey
How do Middle Australians understand economic reform? What is the evidence for and against the official 'economic rationalist' view that ordinary people will barely notice what has happened to incomes over time? Preliminary data from the Middle Australia Project suggest that shifts in income do have some impact on subjective well-being and that economic insecurities about incomes and job prospects are strong. We find that Middle Australians have a remarkably clear view of what has happened to household incomes over time and that they know who have been the winners and losers from economic reform. Our respondents seem aware that Middle Australia is under pressure, that quality of life is negatively affected by economic reform and that we are experiencing some 'hollowing out' of the broad middle class. These findings are commensurate with further data showing a weakening confidence in our institutions and an unwillingness to let government off the hook. Middle Australians blame government most for the social impacts of economic restructuring and they reject the view that governments can do little to moderate economic reform.
Work, Poverty and Income
Progress in the Workplace
By Sue Richardson
Paid employment is a major part of most people's lives. It is by far the largest source of income for most people (about two thirds of national income is in the form of wages and salaries). It largely determines social status and is a major means by which people see themselves as having a productive and contributing relationship with life. Men have typically spent about a third of their waking hours for two thirds of their lifetimes in paid employment. The proportion of a lifetime spent in employment is falling for men and rising for women. Thus the time spent at work consumes a substantial part of a typical person's life, and the quality of the work environment — physical and social — impacts directly and substantially on the quality of life. The labour market in Australia (and elsewhere) is experiencing considerable change. Inequality in the distribution of hours of work and of earnings is rising. So too is long-term unemployment and the proportion of the workforce which is employed part time and casually. Union membership is falling and the role of industrial tribunals is diminishing, leaving more of the employment relation to the determined at the workplace. Is this progress? The paper will explore ways whereby we can answer this question.
The Role of Indicators of Income Poverty in the Measurement of National Progress
By Peter Saunders
Poverty research in Australia has become bogged down in an esoteric debate over the poverty line and the poverty statistics. By focusing almost exclusively on the merits and limitations of the Henderson poverty line, this debate has become detached from the main issues relating to the causes and consequences of poverty in Australia in the 1990s. As a consequence, its credibility has been undermined and its impact on policy marginal, at best. There is a need to re-shape this debate so that it leads more naturally into consideration of the broader issues surrounding the meaning of poverty. At the same time, the development of income adequacy benchmarks is an important task if goals are to be established to guide the formulation of policies on incomes in the social security and other fields. This paper will illustrate how the current poverty measurement debate can begin to be reformulated by combining data on household incomes and expenditures in order to provide new insights on what poverty means in terms of restricting the choices of the poor. This will be followed by a brief discussion of the potential role of new methods for establishing income adequacy benchmarks (such as budget standards), drawing on research currently in progress at the Social Policy Research Centre.
Indicators of Income Inequality
By Ann Harding
Changes in income levels and in income inequality are widely used indicators of whether or not life in Australia is improving. There are numerous studies in Australia of recent trends in income inequality (Saunders 1993; Nevile 1995; Harding 1996). Such studies sometimes reach divergent conclusions about trends in income inequality, due to different methodologies and data. This paper examines some of the key decisions that have to be made before measuring income inequality. These decisions may appear technical and obscure, but they have a major impact upon the results. It also presents recent estimates of trends in income inequality in Australia, during the period from 1982 to 1993–1994.
Incorporating Non-cash Income and Expenditure in the Measurement of Inequality and Poverty
By David Johnson
This paper extends the metric of analysis for measuring poverty and inequality beyond disposable income to include the value of non-cash benefits, to make allowance for the flow of services from the principal household asset, the housing stock, and to compare these income-based measures with measures based on expenditure. The results are derived from analysis of the unit records of the 1993–94 Household Expenditure Survey (ABS 1996). Conventional measures of the income distribution, quintile shares and summary measures such as the Gini index and the entropy index are calculated. A simplified set of equivalence scales roughly based on the Henderson scales is used to measure poverty rates and poverty gaps and a new index is employed which incorporates a weighting for the extent of deprivation. Measures of poverty for income and for expenditures are obtained by maintaining the threshold level of a reference family at a constant share of mean household income. The results of the comparisons are used to discuss the meaning of the measures of poverty and inequality and to highlight both strengths and weaknesses of the idea of their use as social indicators.
The Natural Environment
The Titanic or the Ark? Indicators of National Progress Towards Environmental Sustainability
By Valerie Brown
Measuring national progress towards ecologically sustainable development requires facing two ways: inward to the particular goals for each locality, and outward to global conventions and agreements. National accountability for the global and local effects of Australian environmental policies needs to include recognition of the twin effects of the globalisation of finance, industry and information and the responding strengthening of civil society. Another issue is the difficulty of relating the monitoring of the bio-physical and the socio-economic environments, when these are examined through two different systems of knowledge. This paper reviews the capacity of Australian monitoring processes to meet these challenges. Measuring national progress will require indicators capable of assessing progress towards meeting the shared community vision of each individual locality; establishing strategic alliances between government agencies and the civil society; reducing the ecological footprint of both urban and rural areas; interpreting the cumulative social, economic and environmental effects of change; and establishing coherent decision-making between local, regional and national scales.
Reporting on the State of Our Environment
By Ian Lowe
The National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development identified regular reporting on the state of the environment as a vital step toward the achievement of sustainable development. The first independent national State of the Environment report, Australia: State of the Environment 1996, was completed and released in 1996. It established the principles for regular reporting, to which successive Commonwealth governments have given support. Work is proceeding on development of a set of environmental indicators to monitor progress between full-scale reports. The development of an integrated system is hampered by the unavailability of much important data and variations in approach between different governments. The State of the Environment report identified structural problems as a significant impediment to environmental management.
Introduction to Environmental Indicators
By Tony Fleming
Following publication of Australia: State of the Environment 1996, Environment Australia initiated a program to develop environmental indicators for future state of the environment reporting. These indicators are being designed to monitor and report on major trends in Australia's environment and to contribute towards measuring progress towards ecological sustainability. In the first phase, expert indicator coordinators have been engaged to produce: a set of scientifically credible indicators for use in the next report, expected in 2001; advice on appropriate monitoring strategies and availability of data; and proposals for future research. Related projects, carried out in collaboration with the Australian Local Government Association and the states, are identifying indicators which can be used in state, local and community reporting and integrated into a consistent national reporting approach.

How UK-S'pore digital trade deal will help businesses, consumers
Singapore and the United Kingdom substantially concluded negotiations on the UK-Singapore Digital Economy Agreement (UKSDEA) yesterday.
The agreement covers key areas of the digital economy, such as data, as well as a wide range of emerging and innovative areas such as artificial intelligence, fintech, digital identities and legal technology, according to a statement jointly issued by Singapore's Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Communications and Information and the Infocomm Media Development Authority.
Here is a look at some of the key features of the agreement and how they will help businesses and consumers.
ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS
The agreement promotes rules for the development of software that allows two applications to talk to each other and facilitates the adoption of internationally accepted standards to promote interoperability between e-payment systems.
PAPERLESS TRADING
The agreement allows the acceptance of electronic versions of trade documents, facilitates cross-border digitalisation of supply chains and promotes interoperability of electronic documents such as bills of lading and invoices.
This will enable faster and cheaper transactions and reduce costs for businesses.
CROSS-BORDER DATA FLOWS
Businesses in the two countries will be allowed to transfer information, including that which is generated or held by financial institutions, more seamlessly across borders with the assurance that they meet the requisite regulations.
PROHIBIT DATA LOCALISATION
This essentially means that both countries will allow businesses to choose where their data is stored.
This refers to protecting information by transforming it into a secure format. Neither country will require the transfer of, or access to, technologies used in cryptography by a company as a condition of market access.
ONLINE CONSUMER PROTECTION
Adopt or maintain laws and regulations that guard against fraudulent, misleading or deceptive conduct that causes harm to consumers engaged in online commercial activities.
SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES COOPERATION
Singapore and the UK will seek to cooperate in promoting jobs and growth for SMEs, and encourage their participation in e-commerce platforms that will help link them with international suppliers, buyers and potential business partners.

Flavored with vanilla and cinnamon and sweetened with honey, these honey rolls are one of my childhood favorite treats. Brush them with honey and sprinkle chopped nuts of top for a little crunch.
Like most of you, I grew up watching my mom and grandma cooking and baking for our family. I wish I could say I learned from them, but that's would be a lie. I didn't start cooking until my early 30's but I do have lots of memories helping them in the kitchen.
My mom would mostly let us decorate the cakes, not much else, later on she asked us on several occasions to chop vegetables, but my grandma, oh, she would have us by her side the entire time. Give me this, do that. You better learn now, soon you'll marry and you need to take care of your household!
She meant well, but I was a lost cause. The only thing I really loved was to shape rolls when she was making bread, especially at holidays or special occasions.
And today is a special day for me – I'm celebrating my grandma's life!
She doesn't look like much, but she was an incredible person! I don't think I've ever known someone with a bigger heart than hers! Family came first no matter what and I don't remember her ever complaining about working so hard for us.
I think I was in middle school when my dad took me to the side to let me know grandma is not feeling well and needs to be taken to the hospital. Weeks later she came home with just one kidney. Several other surgeries followed in the next couple of years, but she was undefeated.
She continued to run the household and put each and every one of us before her needs.
Unfortunately, her big heart stopped few days ago and I miss her more than ever.
My grandma loved making bread. And, for the last couple of days, I've been baking like crazy. All sorts of bread. And shaped rolls. And made them pretty just like she liked them.
These nutty honey rolls are made during Romanian spring holidays, but my grandma made them year round. They were one of our favorites.
Unlike other rolls, these rolls are flavored with vanilla and cinnamon and use honey as a sweetener.
For this recipe, I used a honeydew honey which has a darker color and a very strong fruity flavor, but you can use whatever good-quality honey you have on hand.
The dough for these nutty honey rolls is very rich and it takes a little longer to rise. If you're in a hurry, I would suggest using Red Star Platinum yeast (you can read about it here) and skip the yeast proofing step. Mix the yeast with the other ingredients and make the dough. Let rise, shape and bake the rolls.
Although the Platinum yeast has been a favorite for years now, for this recipe I still prefer active dry yeast. It gives plenty of time for the flavors to develop while the dough is rising.
In a small bowl add 1 cup of flour. Make a well in the middle and pour in the half a cup of lukewarm milk. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar over the milk and the active dry yeast. Give the yeast a gentle stir and leave it for 5-10 minutes until bubbles appear at the surface and it slightly increases in volume.
Meanwhile, add the remaining flour, melted butter, honey, egg, salt, vanilla extract and cinnamon to a mixing bowl.
Pour over the proofed yeast with the 1 cup of flour.
Fit your mixer with the dough hook. Start kneading the dough, slowly adding the remaining 1/3 cup milk until you have a soft elastic, dough that cleans itself for the sides of the bowl.
If needed add more milk.
Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and place it in an oiled bowl. Cover with a clean tea towel and let it rest until doubled in volume. The dough, being enriched with butter, egg and honey, will take a little longer to double in size. DO not panic. Mine took a little over 2 hours.
Once doubled in volume, remove it from the bowl and divide it into 10 pieces.
Roll each piece into a rope and shape it into an 8 or an infinite sign. You can also braid it or shape it into a coil.
Place the shaped rolls onto two baking sheets. Cover with a tea towel again and ret rest for another hour.
Heat the oven to 350F. Just before baking, brush the rolls with the beaten egg. Bake the rolls, one sheet at a time for 16-18 minutes until golden.
Remove from the oven and let slightly cool.
While still warm, brush the rolls with honey and sprinkle chopped nuts over them.
disclosure – this post is sponsored by red star yeast. although i've been compensated to develop the recipe and write this post, the opinions expressed here are all mine. thank you for supporting brands i love.
These rolls look absolutely stunning and sound delicious. Baking brings back very strong memories of my Grandma. She taught me so much about baking. Teaching me to make bread if I was angry and pastry if I was calm, how to make jam and what to look for when it sets. I'm glad you are celebrating your Grandmother in your baking. Often they've taught us far more than we realise. Sammie.
Hi! I saw the name of your blog somewhere and thought you might be Romanian, I have never heard of a non-Romanian Roxana :) . I am sorry about your grandmother, it sounds like she was a great person and she really looks so much like a Romanian grandma.
Bless your Grandma's heart! She sounds like an amazing woman you were lucky to have close to you. Especially if she made tasty treats like this! Hugs lady!
I love how detailed the instructions are..I am not into baking a lot but this is something I just have to try..also a bit emboldened by your nice instructions..otherwise, I have really struggled with yeast. Thanks Roxana!
Sorry to hear about your grandmother! She sounds amazing, and like an amazing baker if she made these gorgeous rolls! I have got to try these out - they look amazing.
I am so sorry for your lost. I give credit to my grandmother for giving me the love a cooking and baking. I have so many memories of being in the kitchen with her.

Afternoon of a Nymph is an episode of the British Armchair Theatre series made by the ITV franchise holder ABC Weekend TV and first broadcast by the ITV network on 30 September 1962. It was written by Robert Muller and features Janet Munro and Ian Hendry in the lead roles. It was directed by Philip Saville and produced by Sydney Newman.

The second of Muller's seven plays for Armchair Theatre, Mark Duguid writes: "Although it lacks the cynical bite of, say, Alexander Mackendrick's The Sweet Smell of Success (US, 1957), Muller's script convincingly evokes the sordid shallows of showbiz." A contemporary reviewer, Maurice Wiggins in The Sunday Times described the play negatively as being "a pretentious affair".

Hendry and Munro married in 1963.
