Cats eating more fish that their owners

January 7, 2011 by Reporter Leave a Comment

“In many cases they are eating better quality fish than their owners”. Leading this fishy business is the US, where more than 1.1 million tonnes of small forage fish, including sardines, herrings and anchovies, go into cat food.

Each cat in Australia eats 13.7 kilograms of fish a year, while humans on average consume about 11 kilograms of fish and seafood each.

“Good fish is being wasted because of some pet owners’ hedonistic needs when feeding their pets.”  GOURMET meals dished up to pampered pets could be threatening world fish supplies, Victorian scientists have warned. 2,48 million tonnes of “forage” fish ie sardines, herrings and anchovies, are being consumed by the world’s cat population via the cat food industry, each year.That means about 13.7 kg per putty cat, purr year. Note, that is, only if you have an Aussie cat, not all global cats are so lucky (or included in the study).

canned Cat Food

“Australian pet cats are eating better than their owners,” Friggin felines are messing with our fish supplies and denying third world countries. A recent report draws attention to the cat food industry’s use of forage fish, which includes sardines and herrings and is considered a limited biological resource.researchers have discovered that cats eat 2 and a half tons of real fish each year and not only that, it’s the good stuff. In other words cats are eating fish that could be consumed by humans when they could be eating the guts, heads and the rest of the offal.

Tony Abbott does it again

July 17, 2010 by Reporter 3 Comments

Tony  makes  his speech debut for coming 2010 elections in style

Tony Abbott today made a bloody terrific speech . which  will definetly sway  many a voter to the other side  and i m not kidding.

Steve Dickson MP

I have been a labor supporter  for some time now .. but really got disillusioned by how the whole rudd gillard  fight for chair affair was put forward in front of the whole world. Today listening to Tony abbotts speech  made me want to switch sides for the first time.

Here is what tony abbot said in his speech today:

A change of government would “end the spin and incompetence which he said had marred the Rudd-Gillard government and which had worsened over the three weeks since Ms Gillard ousted Mr Rudd as prime minister.

Mr Abbott said it was hard to trust Ms Gillard.

“Why should people trust a new prime minister who said she’d fix the messes her own government created,” he said.

“She failed to do so and is now rushing to the polls before she has established her credentials to govern.”

Mr Abbott asked why should people trust Ms Gillard when even her Mr Rudd could not.

Latest News

“Why should people trust a government that can’t say who would be the foreign minister, who would be the defence minister and who would be the finance minister if the government is re-elected,” he said.

“And why should people trust a prime minister who can’t guarantee that she would serve a full term because she can’t be sure that the factions would let her.”

Family and friends raised the alarm when she failed to make it home, or to work the next day as a Supreme Court registrar. The car was found a week after she disappeared,  in Kershaw Street, Subiaco.

Hall of fame or shame with “racist comments” tarnishing the sporting industry

June 19, 2010 by Reporter 2 Comments

The hall of fame is soon turning to the hall of shame  with sports stars  doing the unthinkable . Potty mouths were never so much in fashion before  and  the media  and junta  and definitely not taking any of it  and throwing heaps of soap at them.

Here is a headline from Media :

Robert DiPierdomenico  “dipper” Racist comment

AFL legend ‘Dipper’ stood down in new racism storm –

Robert DiPierdomenico has been stood down indefinitely from his role as an AFL ambassador for Auskick following a racist comment he made at a public function last week. He described fellow Brownlow medallist Gavin Wanganeen as "not too bad for an Abo".

Ref : http://resources3.news.com.au/Dipper-5640643.jpg

Richmond player Mal Brown Racist comment

The revelation comes as former Richmond player Mal Brown yesterday defended his reference to Aboriginal players as "cannibals" at a Melbourne luncheon this week.

 

Ref:http://www.oscarswarv.com.au/football/Mal_Brown.jpg

Brown yesterday apologised for his comments. Mel brown  gave a  poor impression of an apology which did not look like a real apology  which was shown on television.

$94 billion has been wiped from the stock market

May 25, 2010 by Reporter Leave a Comment

$94 billion has still been wiped from  the stock market value over the past week duue to various factors like the greece  problems , australian internal new reform issues and  the wall street market performances.

Billions wiped from Australian  stockmarket

It fell 6.6 per cent for the week on fears that Europe’s debt crisis will hit global markets and affect growth of the world economy. It has been the market’s worst week since the height of the financial crisis in 2008.

 

However, the booming Australian resources industry has come under attack from politicians who are threatening to impose huge new taxes. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has proposed a ’super tax’ on resource profits in order to pay for rising health care costs for an aging population.

Billion  stockmarket billionaire

The tax which, would be equal to 40% of resource gathering firms’ profits, is proposed to begin in July 2012 and would raise an estimated $8 billion a year from 2013-14, which is about 0.7 per cent of national income.

The tax has not become law yet and is strongly opposed by many conservative politicians. The new tax would “eventually choke the goose that’s laid the golden egg for Australia,” said conservative Tony Abbott. “Australia’s future depends on the bulk carriers traveling to Asia.”

ref: http://etfdb.com/2010/will-resource-tax-sink-australia-etf/

Abbott announced that after rescinding the resource rent tax, a future Liberal government would not be able to match Labor’s planned reduction of the corporate tax rate from 30 to 28 percent. The decision indicated the opposition’s determination to win the backing of the mining companies, even at the expense of other sections of big business, which have long demanded corporate tax rate cuts to bolster Australian capitalism’s international competitiveness. The Australian resource sector is currently booming, driven by record commodity prices caused by China’s industrial expansion. Much of the rest of the “two track” economy, however, especially manufacturing, is in recession or near-recession.

Trove the Literary google search of australia – Search engines

April 30, 2010 by Reporter 4 Comments

Trove the search engine  that got resources from combined artistic resources of over 1000 libraries, museums, and other cultural institution from Australia  if proving a big contender for searches in this field  in contrast to other popular search engines. Trove – a National Library of Australia (NLA) initiative whose creators are calling it the Google of cultural heritage institutions have five dedicated software engineers continuously working on it.

About Trove -Trove is a new discovery experience focused on Australia and Australians. It supplements what search engines provide with reliable information from Australia’s memory institutions.

If you are researching in the fields of the social sciences, literature, local or family history, newspaper articles and magazine resources,  or need inspiration for your school assignment, then this is the tool for you.

Three years in the making, Trove is an offshoot of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program, a massive effort that has digitised and made available online 17 million historical articles from Australian newspapers between 1831 and 1954 since it began in March 2007. That program is set to catalogue 40 million more articles by next year. In the same way that Google harvest’s Web sites,  Trove set up harvesting across cultural heritage institutions and national resources and libraries

Trove, developed by many of the same staff, manages metadata on over 90 million historically significant items including pictures, unpublished manuscripts, books, oral histories, music, videos, research papers, diaries, letters, maps, archived Web sites and newspapers from 1803 to 1954.  Trove  search engine isn’t archiving the content itself, but manages metadata about indexed content. Thanks to a complex array of back-end connections with participating institutions – as well as with online databases like Amazon, Flicker, Google Books, and the Australian National Bibliographic Database – new content added to those institutions’ collections is automatically referenced in Trove.

For example if researching images relating to Edmund Barton, our first Prime Minister, results will include descriptions such as people, book, manuscript, map and newspaper articles. A researcher searching for information on Nellie Melba will be presented with a range of results including biographies, pictures, music, newspapers, books etc. The service works best in Internet Explorer 7+, Firefox 3+ or Safari 4+, at a screen resolution of 1024×768 or higher.

We did a search  for “Australian Digger” which came up with 42,968 results for newspapers , 1,734 results for picture and photos

and 2,397 results fo books journals and magazine articles.

Trove  search engine australian digger  australian busines times

We also did a search for “bogan” – Check out the results here

bogan search on trove search engine

Libraries and archives have been mapping and digitizing letter, maps, diaries, newspapers and so on for a long time, and we know that public information-seeking happens a lot for literary purposes. Many people just want to see what they can get online  – and Trove provides access to unique Australian resources on the deep Web that you wouldn’t find elsewhere.

So looking for something you cant find  on Google, jump into this treasure trove of information 🙂
