Hard News: On the Clark candidacy, in reply to linger,
Colour fool descriptions
I’m loving your start on this palette!
There could be a whole NZ Hue’s Hue in it…stool life…
I believe Julia Morison has already employed the wonderful and ‘reddily’ available ‘faecal madder’In many ways M(o)useings is a continuation of Morison’s Kabalistic and Alchemical interests in the 1980s and ‘90s. The Alchemist dedicates themselves to the philosophical transmutation of base materials into gold. Her 1985 work Hermes used both excrement and gold, Te Papa has her Vademecum of 1986, Auckland Art Gallery has her Ten of 1997, and Christchurch Art Gallery holds within its collection her 1998 Excrement/Gold – an abstract diptych half gold leaf and half sealed dog faeces – God and Dog, the Sacred and Profane. In 2000 Julaine Stephenson parodied this work in the High Street Liftspace with her Harpic/Brasso. The Kabala connection suggests the shit is simultaneously the clay from which both Adam and Golem are made, and the baseness that is left behind once the mystical idea has been digested. Excrement is one of the sacred Sephirothic elements of the Kabala frequently used by Julia in earlier works along with lead, ash, clay, blood, mercuric salts, silver, gold and the ethereal represented by acrylic.

Speaker: Are we seeing the end of MSM,…, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
…they even opened comments on an ongoing court trial story
They’ve taken the comments off that story now – perhaps the comment I sent questioning their wisdom gave them pause for thought?

Speaker: Are we seeing the end of MSM,…, in reply to Alfie,
Whatever became of the concept of taking pride in your work?
Heck they even opened comments on an ongoing court trial story - that's just asking for trouble - I'd have thought cooler heads would have considered that sub judice - or does that only apply to Jury hearings?

Just as I thought would happen, Martin van Beynen got to write The Press editorial on the David Bain 'pay out' - at least he had the good grace to put his name to his ongoing relitigation of this case and demands that Bain prove his own innocence.
Ending with the chilling dismissal of responsibility on the part of the 'justice system' and a final dig into the ribs of van Beynen's hobby horse!If Bain is innocent that is extremely unfortunate. But if he is guilty, he has this week been rewarded for a heinous crime.

Trees a crowd...
While tropical forests continued to decline, a remarkable change is happening: tree cover on agricultural land has increased across the globe, capturing nearly 0.75 Gigatonnes carbon dioxide every year. A new study titled "Global Tree Cover and Biomass Carbon on Agricultural Land: The contribution of agroforestry to global and national carbon budgets" provides insights into the patterns of this tremendous change at global, regional and national scales

I'm guessing Dr Carl Ungerer mistook the 5 Eyes alliance for the ANZUS alliance which has, you know, 5 letters (but only 3 countries) ...
