How To Prune A Standard Rose
This video aimed mainly at the novice rose grower shows how to get the most out of your roses by encouraging them to put out a second flush of flowers later on in summer. This can be achieved by regular deadheading and a little light pruning plus an application of rose fertiliser. The video shows you how to take off the dead flowers in order to stop the rose wasting energy producing seed and instead putting its energy into producing new shoots. Taking off some of the stem as well helps maintain a sturdy compact plant.
The video demonstrates on a standard rose but the principle is the same for any shrub rose.

James Hardie EasyLap and Steller Concepts Building With Bowens
Bowen, The Builders Choice EasyLap™ Panel: Steller Concepts Case Study
One of Australia’s leading providers of cladding, James Hardie, recently released a new and innovative fibre cement product called EasyLap™. Bowens conducted a case study with commercial builder Steller Concepts to examine using EasyLap™ on a large project.
Steller Concepts recently completed a multi story residential development at 51-53 Buckley Street, Noble Park comprising of 62 apartment and 4 commercial shops with a fast 9 month build time.
John Nousais, Site Manger at Steller Concepts says that one of the key factors to the speed of the build was the fact that only two trades were required for the EasyLap™ install. As a roller-applied acrylic texture paint finish is applied directly to the product only carpenters and painters are needed, eliminating the need for a plasterer.
The dedicated cutting stations also assisted John SURNAME to ensure the building was completely clad in just 6 weeks. The carpenter crews quickly and easily cut the EasyLap™ to size onsite using regular circular saws.
Andrew Healey, Special Projects Manager at Jamie Hardie says that the exposed vertical shiplap design of EasyLap™ also helped speed up the install. EasyLap™ is fixed direct to frame and then a bead of polly urethane sealant is applied before the next sheet is installed over the shiplap and fixed off.
The additional benefit of the shiplap design is the visible, yet subtle, vertical express joint. This unique design element allows for large painted expanses to be broken up to achieve a modern contemporary look.
EasyLap™ is highly durable because it is made of 8.5mm fibre cement and has good paint adhesion qualities. In addition to the external cladding at the Buckly Street construction, EasyLap™ was also used extensively for internal walkways. As EasyLap™ has a high impact resistant quality it is ideal for high traffic zones. Also, rather than leave the columns in the internal corridors with an exposed edge, Andrew Healey explains that they used a “strong aluminium box corner which has a high impact resistance and ensured the corner details would hold up to high traffic”.
Andrew Healey explains that one of the key factors in why Steller Concepts chose EasyLap™ was “because of the amount of articulation in the architects design, Steller Concepts needed a product that was going to be simple and fast to install”.
In addition Steller Concepts needed a solution so that with just one product could be used but still achieve an interesting look. Steller Concepts used EasyLap™ for the majority of the build with three different paint colours, hence eliminating the need to constantly change cladding products to achieve variation.
Another reason that Steller Concept achieved a 9 month build time was the reliability of product deliveries. Shannon Hill, Construction Manager at Steller Concepts says that “if I don’t have my deliveries on time then obviously I’ve got a heap of guys standing around scratching and looking for stuff to do”.
John Nousias explains there wasn’t any downtime due to the EasyLap™ being delivered by Bowens when it was required, even it was on the same day as ordering it.
Bowens account manager at Hallam branch, Phil Miller explains that “it was imperative that Steller Concept had the material onsite the same day because they had to keep the job going” By supping” EasyLap™ the same day as it was ordered Bowens was able to ensure the speed of construction was not slowed down by lack of product on site. Phil ads that “there are no other timber suppliers in Victoria that can actually deliver what builders need on the same day”
EasyLap™ is Australian made and comes with a 10 year warranty. Standard sizes are 900mm x 3000mm, 1200mm x 2440mm and 1200mm x 3000mm and is 8.5mm thick and weighs just 12.46 kg/m.
EasyLap™ is a versatile internal and external cladding solution that not only speeds up construction but is highly durable and has an contemporary modern look. EasyLap™ is available at all Bowens branches. Contact your local branch or Account Manager to find how EasyLap™ can be used on your next project.
Bowens, the Builders Choice, is a Victorian family based company that has served the building and construction sector since 1894. Bowens has 13 branches throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria including Melbourne's largest under cover timber yard at Port Melbourne.

moving stills (experiment 1)
I've started experimenting with HD video using my recently purchased Olympus E-P1. I'm focusing on creating "moving stills", i.e. short (20-60s) videos which follow the aesthetics of my still photos but do also include some minimal element of movement. There are no camera movements, no cuts, no storylines. More from the same series at Flickr:

SUMMARY
=======
Clement Richard Attlee, 1st Earl Attlee, (3 January 1883 –8 October 1967), was a British statesman of the Labour Party who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1945 to 1951 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1935 to 1955. In 1940, Attlee took Labour into the wartime coalition government and served under Winston Churchill, becoming, in 1942, the first person to hold the office of Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He went on to lead the Labour Party to an unexpected landslide victory at the 1945 general election; forming the first Labour majority government, and a mandate to implement its postwar reforms. The 12 per cent national swing from the Conservatives to Labour was unprecedented at that time and remains the largest ever achieved by any party at a general election in British electoral history. He was re-elected with a narrow majority at the 1950 general election. In the following year, Attlee called a snap general election, hoping to increase his parliamentary majority. However, he was narrowly defeated by the Conservatives under the leadership of Winston Churchill, despite winning the most votes of any political party in any general election in British political history until the Conservative Party's fourth consecutive victory in 1992. Attlee remains the longest-ever serving Leader of the Labour Party.
First elected to the House of Commons in 1922 as the MP for Limehouse, Attlee rose quickly to become a junior minister in the first Labour minority government led by Ramsay MacDonald in 1924, and then joined the Cabinet during MacDonald's second ministry of 1929–1931. One of only a handful of Labour frontbenchers to retain his seat in the landslide defeat of 1931, he became the party's Deputy Leader. After the resignation of George Lansbury in 1935, he was elected as Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition in the subsequent leadership election. At first advocating pacificism and opposing rearmament, he later reversed his position; by 1938, he became a strong critic of Neville Chamberlain's attempts to appease Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. In 1939, he sponsored a Jewish mother and her two children, helping them to leave Nazi Germany and move to the UK, where he and his family housed the oldest son for a time. He took Labour into the Churchill war ministry in 1940. Initially serving as Lord Privy Seal, he was appointed as Deputy Prime Minister in 1942. Attlee and Churchill worked together very smoothly, with Attlee working backstage to handle much of the detail and organisational work in Parliament, as Churchill took centre stage with his attention on diplomacy, military policy, and broader issues. With victory in Europe in May 1945, the coalition government was dissolved. Attlee led Labour to win a huge majority in the ensuing 1945 general election two months later.
The government he led built the post-war consensus, based upon the assumption that full employment would be maintained by Keynesian policies and that a greatly enlarged system of social services would be created – aspirations that had been outlined in the 1942 Beveridge Report. Within this context, his government undertook the nationalisation of public utilities and major industries, as well as the creation of the National Health Service. Attlee himself had little interest in economic matters but this settlement was broadly accepted by all parties for three decades. Foreign policy was the special domain of Ernest Bevin, but Attlee took special interest in India. He supervised the process by which India was partitioned into India and Pakistan in 1947. He also arranged the independence of Burma (Myanmar), and Ceylon (Sri Lanka). His government ended the British Mandates of Palestine and Jordan. From 1947 onwards, he and Bevin pushed the United States to take a more vigorous role in the emerging Cold War against Soviet Communism. When the budgetary ...

Sketches of the Fair Sex, in All Parts of the World | Audiobook with subtitles
Sketches Of The Fair Sex ANONYMOUS ( - )
Sketches of the fair sex, in all parts of the world. To which are added rules for determining the precise figure, the degree of beauty, the habits, and the age of women, notwithstanding the aids and disguise of dress.

SUMMARY
=======
Newcastle upon Tyne (locally (listen)), commonly known as Newcastle, is a city in Tyne and Wear, North East England, 103 miles (166 km) south of Edinburgh and 277 miles (446 km) north of London on the northern bank of the River Tyne, 8.5 mi (13.7 km) from the North Sea. Newcastle is the most populous city in the North East, and forms the core of the Tyneside conurbation, the eighth most populous urban area in the United Kingdom. Newcastle is a member of the English Core Cities Group and is a member of the Eurocities network of European cities.Newcastle was part of the county of Northumberland until 1400, when it became a county of itself, a status it retained until becoming part of Tyne and Wear in 1974. The regional nickname and dialect for people from Newcastle and the surrounding area is Geordie. Newcastle also houses Newcastle University, a member of the Russell Group, as well as Northumbria University.
The city developed around the Roman settlement Pons Aelius and was named after the castle built in 1080 by Robert Curthose, William the Conqueror's eldest son. The city grew as an important centre for the wool trade in the 14th century, and later became a major coal mining area. The port developed in the 16th century and, along with the shipyards lower down the River Tyne, was amongst the world's largest shipbuilding and ship-repairing centres.
Newcastle's economy includes corporate headquarters, learning, digital technology, retail, tourism and cultural centres, from which the city contributes £13 billion towards the United Kingdom's GVA. Among its icons are Newcastle United football club and the Tyne Bridge. Since 1981 the city has hosted the Great North Run, a half marathon which attracts over 57,000 runners each year.

SUMMARY
=======
The history of antisemitism, defined as hostile actions or discrimination against Jews as a religious or ethnic group, goes back many centuries, with antisemitism being called the longest hatred. Jerome Chanes identifies six stages in the historical development of antisemitism:
Pre-Christian anti-Judaism in ancient Greece and Rome which was primarily ethnic in nature
Christian antisemitism in antiquity and the Middle Ages which was religious in nature and has extended into modern times
Traditional Muslim antisemitism which was—at least in its classical form—nuanced, in that Jews were a protected class
Political, social and economic antisemitism of Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment Europe which laid the groundwork for racial antisemitism
Racial antisemitism that arose in the 19th century and culminated in Nazism
Contemporary antisemitism which has been labeled by some as the new antisemitismChanes suggests that these six stages could be merged into three categories: ancient antisemitism, which was primarily ethnic in nature; Christian antisemitism, which was religious; and the racial antisemitism of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.In practice, it is difficult to differentiate antisemitism from the general ill-treatment of nations by other nations before the Roman period, but since the adoption of Christianity in Europe, antisemitism has undoubtedly been present. The Islamic world has also seen the Jews historically as outsiders. The coming of the scientific and industrial revolution in 19th-century Europe bred a new manifestation of antisemitism, based as much upon race as upon religion, culminating in the horrors of the Nazi extermination camps of World War II. The formation of the state of Israel in 1948 has created new antisemitic tensions in the Middle East.

SUMMARY
=======
The Australian labour movement has its origins in the early 19th century and includes both trade unions and political activity. At its broadest, the movement encompasses an industrial wing (Australian unions) and a political wing (Australian Labor Party). Trade unions in Australia may be organised (i.e., formed) on the basis of craft unionism, general unionism, or industrial unionism. Almost all unions in Australia are affiliated with the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), many of which have undergone a significant process of amalgamations, especially in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The leadership and membership of unions hold and have at other times held a wide range of political views, including communist, socialist and right-wing views.
According to ABS figures, in August 2013, there were 1.7 million members of trade unions in relation to their main job (17% of all employees). A further 4% did not know whether they were trade union members or not, while 1% were trade union members not in conjunction with their main job. Of those who were a trade union member in relation to their main job, over two thirds (68%) had been members for five years or more. Trade union membership has steadily declined over recent years, with 2013 being the lowest proportion in the history of the ABS series. According to ACTU figures, the number of members of trade unions in 1983 was 2,376,900 but by 2002 it was 1,833,700, and declining.
The Australian Labor Party at both a federal and state/colony level pre-dates, among others, both the British Labour Party and the New Zealand Labour Party in party formation, government, and policy implementation. In particular, the 1910 federal election represented a number of firsts: it was Australia's first elected federal majority government; Australia's first elected Senate majority; the world's first Labour Party majority government at a national level; after the 1904 Chris Watson minority government the world's second Labour Party government at a national level; and the first time it controlled both houses of a bicameral legislature.

SUMMARY
=======
Manchester () is a city and metropolitan borough in Greater Manchester, England, with a population of 545,500 as of 2017. It lies within the United Kingdom's third-most populous metropolitan area, with a population of 3.2 million. It is fringed by the Cheshire Plain to the south, the Pennines to the north and east, and an arc of towns with which it forms a continuous conurbation. The local authority is Manchester City Council.
The recorded history of Manchester began with the civilian settlement associated with the Roman fort of Mamucium or Mancunium, which was established in about AD 79 on a sandstone bluff near the confluence of the rivers Medlock and Irwell. It was historically a part of Lancashire, although areas of Cheshire south of the River Mersey were incorporated in the 20th century. The first to be included, Wythenshawe, was added to the city in 1931. Throughout the Middle Ages Manchester remained a manorial township, but began to expand at an astonishing rate around the turn of the 19th century. Manchester's unplanned urbanisation was brought on by a boom in textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution, and resulted in it becoming the world's first industrialised city.Manchester achieved city status in 1853. The Manchester Ship Canal opened in 1894, creating the Port of Manchester and directly linking the city to the Irish Sea, 36 miles (58 km) to the west. Its fortune declined after the Second World War, owing to deindustrialisation, but the IRA bombing in 1996 led to extensive investment and regeneration.In 2014, the Globalisation and World Cities Research Network ranked Manchester as a beta world city, the highest-ranked British city apart from London. Manchester is the third-most visited city in the UK, after London and Edinburgh.
It is notable for its architecture, culture, musical exports, media links, scientific and engineering output, social impact, sports clubs and transport connections. Manchester Liverpool Road railway station was the world's first inter-city passenger railway station; scientists first split the atom, developed the stored-program computer and produced graphene in the city. Manchester hosted the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

SUMMARY
=======
England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. The Irish Sea lies northwest of England and the Celtic Sea lies to the southwest. England is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south. The country covers five-eighths of the island of Great Britain, which lies in the North Atlantic, and includes over 100 smaller islands, such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight.
The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but takes its name from the Angles, a Germanic tribe deriving its name from the Anglia peninsula, who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in the 10th century, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The English language, the Anglican Church, and English law – the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world – developed in England, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations. The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England, transforming its society into the world's first industrialised nation.England's terrain is chiefly low hills and plains, especially in central and southern England. However, there is upland and mountainous terrain in the north (for example, the Lake District and Pennines) and in the west (for example, Dartmoor and the Shropshire Hills). The capital is London, which has the largest metropolitan area in both the United Kingdom and the European Union. England's population of over 55 million comprises 84% of the population of the United Kingdom, largely concentrated around London, the South East, and conurbations in the Midlands, the North West, the North East, and Yorkshire, which each developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century.The Kingdom of England – which after 1535 included Wales – ceased being a separate sovereign state on 1 May 1707, when the Acts of Union put into effect the terms agreed in the Treaty of Union the previous year, resulting in a political union with the Kingdom of Scotland to create the Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1801, Great Britain was united with the Kingdom of Ireland (through another Act of Union) to become the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1922 the Irish Free State seceded from the United Kingdom, leading to the latter being renamed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
