Hope for a better World

!"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive." - Thomas Jefferson

Long live Wikileak; long live Julian Assange;

Wikileak is an organization which challenges the corrupt behavior of Governments. As governments are “democratically elected by the people, the people have the right to know what sort of games they are playing. Politicans are not above the law. It is our right to know.

We all know politics is a dirty, hidden game. A big, bad bruise.

Politics has always been the rotten part in people’s history. Its war cry has not changed, deceive, rob, lie and terrify.

Luckily we have today the Internet and Wikileak which the rotten bunch in high offices do not like because their evil doings are exposed.

There are a few, perhaps a handful of gracious, honest and candid Politicians in the world. The majority are a despicable bunch of …..

A huge car park has been converted to a wonderful park; where people can take a picnic, swim safely and go for walks.

The Mercedes Benz enthusiasts came together for a chat and a picnic. I liked this number plate, the car belongs to a young Japanese fellow.

It was cloudy, but not to hot which was good. Quite windy, even the apartment buildings swayed!

Going home.

The first step is to soak the beans the night before you want to cook them.

Here are all the ingredients you need.

Olive oil, I use cold pressed virgin olive oil.

Onions and garlic.

Tomato paste and fresh tomatoes, I use organic tomato paste and I use frozen tomatoes from my garden. Herbs from the garden, like basil, laurel leaves and thyme. A little curry and salt and pepper.

First you make a sofritto from 1 onion, a few garlic knobs and the herbs. Do not fry it, just gently

sautee or sweat until a little softened then add 1 teaspoon curry, let it sweat for an other minute or two.

Add fresh or frozen tomatoes, tomato paste and cannelini beans. Add 1 cup of water and

stir, let the beans simmer until the beans are nice and soft. (Add more water if necessary. It has to be nice and creamy.

The finished product is delicious, can be reheated or frozen. Enjoy!

A Challenge;

A challenge is a general term referring to things that are imbued with a sense of difficulty and victory.

A demanding or stimulating situation;

From day one we human beings are challenged by life until our death. The word "challenge" is not a simple word but it is ambiguous in a certain sense.

Word History:

Middle English borrowed chalenge from Old French. French chalenge came from Latin calumnia "trickery, false accusation", a noun based on the verb calvi "to deceive". So a challenge was originally a false accusation.

The sense of confrontation carried on but the general meaning of this word moved from a negative to a positive sense somewhere along the way between Latin and English. http://www.alphadictionary.com/goodword/

This Impatient plant has found itself a challenge growing from a crevice where the seed has lodged itself. It battles other challenges like being eaten by voracious grasshopper who likes its tender green leaves

The goldfish in the pond face every day the challenge to escape being a meal to a silver gray heron. I have made them hide away places to give the challenged fish a chance to escape.

Are you facing any challenges at the moment?

Airport Charleville;

Qantas scheduled its first fare paying passenger service from Charleville to Cloncurry, via Longreach and Winton, back in 1922.

Charleville is in the heart of Queensland's 'mulga country'. It is the largest town in the south west of the Outback region and was gazetted in 1868 and later named by the Government surveyor of the day, Mr WA Tully, after a town in Ireland where he had lived.

In March 1888, rail transport reached Charleville. This railway gave Charleville a direct link with the state capital, Brisbane.

Cobb and Co, the famous coach company, based their largest coach making factory in Australia in the township of Charleville in 1890. The factory was moved to Charleville because the wood used in coaches made in factories closer to the coast would split and crack in the dry, dusty conditions of Western Queensland.

The mulga country of Queensland's outback is rich in history, flora and fauna. The stars almost touch the end of your nose at the Cosmos Centre and Observatory where clear nights and a low horizon combine to give visitors a great night time experience. Kangaroos, emus, birds of prey and a wondrous variety of Australian native wildlife can be seen whilst travelling this area.
