Not only super villains are caught up by the police. Alain Robert a.k.a Spiderman once more get the attention when he attempt to climb the 57-storey Lumiere building on Bathurst Street, Sydney. He took only 20minutes to reached the top, he is sure a professional. Guess what, people were cheering when he reached the top of the skyscrapers, well, i will be cheering too, haha, moral support is important.







nice performance
by the cheering team


But the sad story of it, our super hero was taken into police custody (not to have some champagne) a short time later, as usual. Personally, he sure has a great achievement. He has previously climbed the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the Eiffel Tower and the New York Times building.

police patrol ready
to take Spiderman away

Robert climbed all the buildings not because it is his hobby or just for fun, there is a reason for his act and that is to draw attention to the problem of global warming, such a cool guy. But what's the relation between Spiderman-ing and global warming? maybe he can speak louder up there, hoho.








picture taken when Robert nearly
reached the top of Lumiere building


My last word to Robert, you are the best at what you do, thumbs up. Next time try not to be caught up, ahaks and consider to use your spider web, i think you can reach the top faster with that, ahaks.

bunch of guys stomping the chickens

Stomp the yard! well, that's a different kind of story. how about stomp the chickens? ever heard of that? this is what happening in Queensland. can u believe it? i don't know what they are up to, but for sure the chickens are dead. A walker found the bodies of the pity seven baby chickens with one baby turkey while on his morning walk at Jensen, north of Townsville.

chicks ..whoops, wrong picture

who would do these kind of things? well, who knows, an investigation is under way. but i think they will never caught the person unless the pet-food store have a security camera. ya, the chicks are stolen from a pet-food store. "We came in to feed the baby chickens and they were all gone," Ms Clifford, employee of Len's Feed Shed told AAP


maybe this was Ms Clifford's expression
when she found out that her chicks are gone

A MELBOURNE man has pleaded guilty to murdering his wife in front of their young son after an argument about Facebook.

Ron Felicite fatally stabbed his wife Marie multiple times in the neck in the kitchen of the couple's Narre Warren home in August last year.

Their four-year-old son was in the house and is believed to have witnessed the killing, the Victorian Supreme Court heard today.

The previous day, Felicite had argued with his wife about her relationship with a man named Dino, whom she had met on the internet.

The court heard Ms Felicite called police to their home during the argument, but it was determined the situation did not require police action.

Later that day, the couple attended counselling where Ms Felicite said she had feelings for the man she met on the internet and no longer loved Felicite as a husband.

Prior to the stabbing, Felicite confronted his wife about her communication on Facebook with her cousin about Dino.

Today, Felicite, 28, pleaded guilty to murdering his wife.

His pre-sentence hearing continues on Monday.

Watching television is one of the famous and common daily routines of all time. Many of us spend our time mostly with television. Statistics have shown that the time spent on selected free time activities of full-time workers in year 2000 to 20001 are mostly on television viewing (UK Time Use Survey 2000). There are few effects of television viewing and the effects can be either advantages of disadvantages to the viewer. Considering the effects of the television viewing, I strongly believe that it brings more negative effects than positive effects as it affects the development of thinking process, a time-wasting activity and leads to unhealthy lifestyle.

First and foremost, the side effect of television viewing is that it affects the development of thinking process especially to children (Sharif 1999). This is because, the viewing of unsuitable programs for long periods can influence their idea of life and behavior as pictured by the television programs. This is a bad thing as they are at a stage where their attitudes, beliefs and ideas about the world are in progress (Sharif 1999). Furthermore, children may also become desensitized to violence depicted on television and imitating some poor behavior shown by characters in television show (Sharif 1999). As a result, these passive activities of television viewing could also restrict the development of imaginative skills which are important in developing problem-solving and organizational ability (Leigh 2001).

Besides that, another negative effect of television viewing is that it makes us difficult to concentrate on other activities such as homework or exercise (Leigh 2001). This time-wasting activity eats up the period that we have reserved for useful activities (Rutherford 2002). Based on an annual averages survey conducted in year 2003 of average hours per day spent in leisure and sports activities for the total population by selected characteristics, it is shown that most of the hours per day are wasted on television (American Time Use Survey 2003). In addition, it is also said that students who are heavy viewers are among the lowest achievers in academic (Leigh 2001).

Lastly, excessive viewing of television will also lead to unhealthy lifestyle. For instance, children are not physically active when they only spend prolonged period in front of the television (Sharif 1999). The situation become even worse when the sedentary activity indulged in with snacks which can cause obesity and related diseases (Rutherford 2002). Moreover, communication among family members will also be difficult when some families eat their meals while watching television (Rutherford 2002).

As a conclusion, watching television has many side effects and has to be avoided. These side effects affect the development of thinking process, a time-wasting activity and leads to unhealthy lifestyle. The blame is frequently directed to television and should be avoided so that we can have a healthier lifestyle without wasting our time. Therefore, I firmly believe that television viewing brings more negative effects than positive effects to us.

UNCERTAINTY about the Eurozone debt crisis and the possible flow through to the Australian economy lowered consumers expectations for inflation, a survey says.

The median expected inflation rate fell to 3.6 per cent in May, from 4.1 per cent the previous month, the Melbourne Institute Survey of Consumer Inflationary Expectations showed.

"The fall in inflation expectations probably reflects respondents' concerns that the unfolding of events in Europe might affect the domestic economy," Melbourne Institute research fellow Michael Chua said in a statement.

"Indeed, as shown in the latest Westpac-Melbourne Institute Consumer Sentiment Survey, the component indices reflecting economic conditions in next 12 months and next five years point to more respondents becoming less optimistic about future economic conditions."

Financial markets have weakened recently over concerns about the level of public debt in several Eurozone nations, including Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy.

Yesterday, a Westpac-Melbourne Institute survey showed consumer confidence dropped seven per cent in May following the most recent rate rise by the Reserve Bank.

The central bank lifted the cash interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 4.5 per cent on May 4, its sixth such move since October last year.

"We expect that the most important factor causing such a large fall in the headline index was the rate hike," Westpac chief economist Bill Evans said.

The proportion of consumers expecting inflation to be within the Reserve Bank's 2 to 3 per cent band rose to 16.2 per cent in May, from 15.9 per cent in April, which was below the 12-month average of 16.9 per cent.

The central bank uses monetary policy, or interest rates, to keep inflation within its target band over the economic cycle.

Australia's headline inflation rate rose 0.9 per cent in the March quarter for an annual rate of 2.9 per cent, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics.

A NANDO'S commercial featuring a topless, pole-dancing mum who serves a chicken dinner to her children is the most complained about Australian commercial of the decade.

The advertisement drew more than 350 complaints to the Advertising Standards Bureau when it first aired in 2007, more than any other commercial since 1998.

Close behind were the Mentos Ice chewing gum commercial in which a man's nipples extend after eating a mint, the Advanced Medical Institute's billboards and a confronting anti-smoking campaign featuring a woman's rotting mouth.

The Nando's commercial, which shows a stripper in a nightclub wiggling her bottom in the face of a male patron before she sits down to dinner with her family at a Nando's restaurant, was one of many commercials complained about for portraying sex, nudity or gender discrimination.

Despite the wave of condemnation the ASB dismissed all complaints against the ads.

A SYDNEY man is battling for his life in hospital today after eating a slug for a dare.

The 21-year-old contracted rat lungworm disease - a rare form of meningitis - after the stunt, the ABC reported.

Rat lungworm disease is caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis, a parasitic worm that is carried in the pulmonary arteries of rats. Larvae are excreted in the rat's droppings, which are often eaten by slugs and snails.

The disease can cause fatal swelling of the brain and spinal cord.

However, Dr Jeremy McAnulty from New South Wales Health said most people recovered.

The disease can also be spread via raw vegetables and fruit that is not washed properly.

Anger at end to free night parking in Melbourne's CDB

FREE night-time parking in Melbourne's CBD will be a luxury of the past under a revenue-raising plan that has angered motorists and traders.

Diners, revellers, shoppers and sports fans will soon pay $4 to park in metered spaces between 7.30pm and midnight.

The new charge, announced in the City of Melbourne's draft budget yesterday, will raise an extra $1.9 million, pushing the annual parking fee grab to more than $38 million.

Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said that motorists should "factor in" the fee to their expenses, adding that proceeds would pay for safety initiatives.

He noted the $4 charge - applied to 3000 metered spots across the CBD - remained a much cheaper option than the city's 30,000 private parking spaces.

But business owners warned the fees could work against the council's ambitions to shift the focus from alcohol-based evening entertainment.

Restaurant and Catering Australia chief executive John Hart said similar initiatives interstate had backfired.

"We have certainly seen that in areas where night-time parking (fees) have been introduced, it has proved to be a disincentive (to diners)," he said.

"People who drive in and drive home are not going to be the ones drinking to excess. They just want to enjoy a good meal," he said. "You don't want to provide disincentives for these people."

Junk food is being blamed for causing many undesirable problems to children. It is referred to any food that is low nutritional value such as instant noodles, potato chips and chocolate bars. Takeaway foods, pre-packaging meals and sugary snack food are also included as junk food (Tran 2005). Statistic shows that most of the foods consumed at home by 12-14 years old Australian Children consist a lot of fat and sugar more than recommended intake (Australian Nutrition Journal 2004).In response to the unwanted problems caused by the consumption of junk food, I strongly believe that the sale of junk food should be banned.

The first reason why junk food should be banned is because it causes behavioral problems in children (Caputo 2005). Most of them contain chemical additives to enhance flavor and colour and to increase shelf life. Furthermore, junk food has a lot of flavor as it is typically high in fat, salt, or sugar and commonly containing synthetic flavor enhancer (Smith 2005). These additives have been shown to cause the behavioral problems such as hyperactivity and pour concentration. Based on a research, it is proven that junk foods are often loaded with chemical additives which can trigger behavioral problems (Caputo 2005).

Secondly, junk food is to be said as the major contributor to litter problems. The fast food packaging causes litter problems which is a safety and health hazard, increases cleaning costs and reflects bad image to our communities (Smith 2005). Cans, crisp packets, cartons and plastic container are among of them and are everywhere (Green 2005). By reducing the sale of junk foods, litter problem in schools can be redressed (Smith 2005) as many junk foods are sold in school canteen. As a result of the reduction, the school grounds man doesn’t have to spend so long cleaning and has more time to spend on maintenance projects that benefit the school (Green 2005).

Lastly, junk foods need to be banned because they are unhealthy and junk food does not contain any nutritional value (Health Foundation 2005). The nutritional value of food eaten by Australian children has been falling progressively over the past 30 years and this can be linked directly to the increased availability and consumption of junk food (Tran 2005). Examples of the junk food that is low in nutritional value are biscuits, cookies, chips, confectionery, hamburgers, instant noodles and soft drinks (Health Foundation 2005). These unhealthy diets can cause further problems to children that are contributing to youth weight gain and childhood obesity (Tran 2005).

As a conclusion, the consumption of junk foods by children has many side effects and has to be reduced. These unhealthy diets causes’ health and behavioral problems to children as well as causes litter problems to community. The blame is frequently directed at junk food. Therefore, the sale of junk food should be banned.

Anyone thinking of swimming or surfing at Melbourne beach?? well, think twice.

Topic: What are the potential effects of global warming in terms of climate change and how can they be arrested?

Global warming is a serious ecological issue that has many negative effects upon our environment. Based on the film An Inconvenient Truth (2007), global warming is the rising of average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere due to greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect consists of gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor insulating the Earth’s surface and helping it maintain warm temperatures. However since there is so much carbon dioxide filling the air, the Earth atmosphere absorbs almost all of the suns emission causing the temperature to increase and consequently causes global warming. There are various of consequences that have been arised in terms of climate change due to global warming.

The increases of carbon dioxide level each year is one of the factors that cause global warming. When there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the greenhouse effect will be worsening causes the global temperature to rise. As the result, permafrost thawing, the glaciers and ice sheets around the world are melting everyday and this make the sea level rises. Arctic and Antarctica, the two regions of the world experience faster impacts from global warming. According to Chris Woodford (2006), currently, the world's sea levels are rising at 3cm (just over 1 inch) per decade.

Another affect of global warming is the increase in the ocean temperatures. When the oceans get warmer, stronger storms like hurricanes, typhoon and tornadoes will be formed because as the water temperature rises, the wind velocity and the moisture content also increases. Hurricane Jeanne, Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Katrina were among of them that killed a lot people and caused billions of dollars worth of damage (An Inconvenient Truth 2007). The rising temperatures will also lead to frequent heat waves. Same effect goes to the sea level, as oceans are heated, ocean’s water molecule will expand and this makes the sea level rise as the water takes up more volume. Holli Riebeek (2007) mentioned that this could leave low-lying nations awash in seawater.

Besides that, another effect of global warming is it causes more precipitation, often coming in big storms. Increasing temperatures tend to increase evaporation which leads to more precipitation. As average global temperatures have risen, average global precipitation has also increased. The evaporation off the oceans puts all the moisture up in the atmosphere and when storm conditions trigger the downpour, more of it falls down and may cause flood. It was stated in Mumbai, India on July 2005, 37 inches of rain in 24 hours the largest downpour that any city in India has ever received have caused a huge flood that killed almost 1000 people (An Inconvenient Truth 2007).

Global warming not only causes more flooding but also more droughts. One of the reasons of this is because global warming not only causes more precipitation worldwide but it also relocates the precipitation. Focus of all is on the Africa side where unbelievable tragedies have been unfolded there. Darfur and Niger were among of those tragedies and one of the factors that have been compounding them is the lack of rainfall and the increasing drought. Another factor of it is because global warming creates more evaporation off the oceans to seed the clouds but the problem comes when it sucks moisture out of the soil causing soil evaporation increases dramatically with higher temperatures (An Inconvenient Truth 2007).

There are many ways to overcome the problems caused by global warming. To cut off the effect of global warming, we can start by cutting down the emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. All countries should take part in the international climate-change treaty called the Kyoto Protocol so that emissions of carbon dioxide can be redressed. While for individuals, we can use more efficient electricity appliances such as replacing the incandescent lamps in our home and use energy-saving fluorescent lamps instead to reduce the global warming pollution that would otherwise be put into the atmosphere (Woodford 2006). If we use other end-use efficiency, higher mileage cars, environmental-friendly cars, renewable energy and technology, and carbon capture and sequestration, more and more global warming pollution can be reduced.

In general, global warming should be viewed as a serious problem. Global leaders and individuals must be concerned and step forward to solve this problem before it’s getting worse. If we cannot mitigate the potential effects now, regardless of the cost, then all of the species survival including us will be directly threatened by the consequences of our actions. We need to find a way to raise our living standards without destroying our own habitat.

In general, global warming should be viewed as a serious problem. Global leaders and individuals must be concerned and step forward to solve this problem before it’s getting worse. If we cannot mitigate the potential effects now, regardless of the cost, then all of the species survival including us will be directly threatened by the consequences of our actions. We need to find a way to raise our living standards without destroying our own habitat.

Topic: What are the potential effects of global warming in terms of climate change and how can they be arrested?

Global warming is a serious ecological issue that has many negative effects upon our environment. It is the rising of average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere due to green house gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect consists of gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor insulating the Earth’s surface and helping it maintain warm temperatures. However since there is so much carbon dioxide filling the air, the Earth atmosphere absorbs almost all of the suns emission causing the temperature to increase and consequently global warming.

The increase of carbon dioxide level each year is one of the factors that cause global warming. As the result, permafrost thawing, the glaciers and ice sheets around the world are melting everyday and the rising temperatures will also lead to frequent heat waves. Arctic and Antarctica, the two regions of the world experience faster impacts from global warming. Scientist expected that within the next 50 to 70 years, the ice cap will be completely gone.

Another affect of global warming is the increase in the ocean temperatures. When the oceans get warmer, stronger storms like hurricanes, typhoon and tornadoes will be formed because when the water temperature increases, the wind velocity and the moisture content also increases. Not only that, as oceans are heated, ocean’s water molecule will expand and this makes the sea level rise as the water takes up more volume. This could leave low-lying nations awash in seawater.

Besides that, another effect of global warming is it causes more precipitation, often coming in big storms. The evaporation off the oceans puts all the moisture up in the atmosphere and when storm conditions trigger the downpour, more of it falls down and may cause flood. It was stated in Mumbai, India on July 2005, 37 inches of rain in 24 hours the largest downpour that any city in India has ever received have caused a huge flood that killed almost 1000 people.

Global warming not only causes more flooding but also more droughts. One of the reasons of this is because global warming not only causes more precipitation worldwide but it also relocates the precipitation. Focus of all is on the Africa side where unbelievable tragedies have been unfolded there. Darfur and Niger were among of those tragedies and one of the factors that have been compounding them is the lack of rainfall and the increasing drought. Another factor of it is because global warming creates more evaporation off the oceans to seed the clouds but the problem comes when it sucks moisture out of the soil causing soil evaporation increases dramatically with higher temperatures.

There are many ways to overcome the problems caused by global warming. Firstly, to cut off the effect of global warming, we can start by cutting down the emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Secondly, if we use more efficient electricity appliances such as energy-saving fluorescent lamps, we can reduce the global warming pollution that would otherwise be put into the atmosphere. If we use other end-use efficiency, higher mileage cars, environmental-friendly cars, renewable energy and technology, and carbon capture and sequestration, more and more global warming pollution can be reduced.

In general, global warming should be viewed as a serious problem. Global leaders and individuals must be concerned and step forward to solve this problem before it’s getting worse. If we cannot mitigate the potential effects now, regardless of the cost, then all of the species survival including us will be directly threatened by the consequences of our actions. We need to find a way to raise our living standards without destroying our own habitat. Albert Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
