- Abortion in Australia
Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory have legislation in place that provides a statutory explanation of when an abortion is not unlawful. However, many abortion laws are not only subject to interpretation, but are outdated, such as the abortion laws in the Northern Territory which come from the Medical Services Act 1982.
Machiavelli
- Therefore
Therefore it is unnecessary for a prince to have all the good qualities I have enumerated, but is very necessary to appear to have them. And I shall dare to say this also, that to have them and always observe them is injurious, and that to appear to have them is useful; to appear merciful, faithful, humane, religious, upright, and to be so, but with a mind so framed that should you require not to be so, you may be able and know how to change to the opposite.

- Father and Child
Father, we pick our last fruits of the temporal. Eighty years old, you take this late walk for my sake. Who can be what you were? Link your dry hand in mine, my stick-thin comforter. Far distant suburbs shine with great simplicities.

- Weimaraner
The Weimaraner gets its name from the German court of Weimar, where the dog was very popular. Dogs of similar appearance, albeit more houndlike, appear in paintings from the early 1600s by Van Dyck. The dog has proved effective for hunt, point and retrieve duties. Originally it was used to hunt boar and deer, but today it usually accompanies hunters looking for smaller game. The most commonly seen version of this dog is the shorthaired variety, although there is a longhaired form.

- Curly-Coated Retriever
The breed arose as the result of crossings between water spaniels, various sorts of retrievers and, possibly, pointers. The tight, curly coat was probably enhanced by adding poodle stock to the breeding programme. The breed reached the peak of its popularity in the latter half of the 19th century, when many were taken to Australia and New Zealand to be used for hunting birds. The unique coat is well adapted for work in the water and soon dries.

- Belgian Shepherd Dog
The Belgian Shepherd Dog has a history stretching back to the Middle Ages, but in the 1890s the breed was differentiated into three separate coat types and four coat-colour patterns. The basic body shape of each of these types remains the same, however. Each of the four types of Belgian Shepherd is named after a region in Belgium. These are the Groenendael; the Tervueren; the Malinois and the Laekenois. All of these dogs are sheepdogs and guards, but they are increasingly seen as pet dogs, too.

- Welsh Terrier
The Welsh Terrier was originally used for hunting badgers, foxes and otters. Its devotees say that it resembles a smaller version of the Airedale Terrier (which it certainly looks like colour-wise), although it is more likely that it shares a common ancestry with the Lakeland Terrier.

- How.
Humans are diabolical creatures. We crush breathing, whispering forests. We pollute trickling streams, and rivers. We expand our urban boundaries into the lives of those unwilling. Yet, we can create artwork, to portray all we've destroyed. How can we create an image to preserve when we contaminate and infect the real thing? Is a mash of paints, processed trees, and raw artistic talent enough to replace the bounding plains that we were thrust upon to live our silly, materialistic lives?
Lynx.
- Intrinsic value.
How can you measure the worth of a person against an animal? Most people would save the life of a person before any passing-by creature, or fluffy little pet, any day. How can we say that we are doing the most we can for our environment, when we throw the rights of our neighbouring beasts out the window, watching them shatter against the concrete pavement.
Revenge - Emily Thorne
- Absolution
Absolution is the most powerful form of forgiveness. It's a full pardon from suspicion and accountability. It's a liberation of a stolen future. A future my father never lived to see. Absolution is a mercy the people who killed him will never know.

- Usui is an otaku.
I'm a high level otaku who loves maids more than anything. All my favourite books have to do with maids, and all the cafes I visit have maids. Of course, I collect figures as well. I play maid games, get excited, say stuff like, 'moe! moe!' and even crossdress as a maid myself. Later.
