Euthanasia law takes effect in Australia's Victoria state

The legislation came into effect 18 months after it was passed by the state parliament in November 2017. Experts think the Victorian model may become a template for other Australian states if the introduction is seen as successful. “This is about giving people who are suffering intolerably from an incurable disease a voluntary, compassionate choice over the manner of their death,” Jenny Mikakos, the state’s health minister, said in a statement.

I read from Reuters that Euthanasia law is taking effect in Victoria. Voluntary euthanasia is legal in the Victoria state of Australia. The law started to take effect 18 months after the state parliament passed it in November 2017. Many experts think that the Victorian model can become a template to follow by other states if it is found to be successful. To be eligible for voluntary euthanasia, under Voluntary Assisted Dying Act, someone must be 18 years or older and has an advanced disease causing him/her to suffer and just results to death in the next coming six to twelve months due to neurodegenerative diseases. Also, has been living in Victoria for at least 12 months, an Australian citizen or a permanent resident.

Yarra River in Victoria, Australia

Yarra River in Victoria, Australia has so much more to offer. I tried out walking behind the river, and it was an enjoyable walk. It was a lovely day seeing the river. Mind you, there are plenty of restaurants near the river. I had a fantastic service experience in Cliveden Bar and Dining, I also enjoyed the Grill’d. I even tried out eating at the Ponyfish Island café and Pure South Dining. Guess what? Every food I tasted was excellent. It’s one of the reasons why the Yarra River attracts many tourists. I’d love to be back in Yarra River again to enjoy the fantastic experience of tranquillity and peacefulness.

29.01.

Tag 23 Melbourne

Neuseland rückt näher; am Morgen erledigen wir neben dem Frühstück ein wenig Vorbereitungsarbeit

Dann hat Uschi einen Termin mit Simona, Garbine und Stan bzw. Rafa und Dominic. Ich erkunde wieder ein Stück Melbourne und der beste Art um eine Stadt zu entdecken ist zu Fuß.

Am Beginn steht der MCG-Melbourne Cricket Ground. In dem ofiziell 100.024 Zuseher fassenden Stadion wird neben Cricket auch Australian Football gespielt.

Streetart in Hosier Street - täglich ändernde Kunst

Southgate Promenade - höherpreisige Geschäfts- und Ausgehmeile und Riverside

Ein Marketinggeniestreich - man beachte das Tagesangebot links unten

Zum Kennenlernen einer Stadt gehört auch innehalten; hinsetzen ein kaltes Getränk bestellen und das Flair aufnehmen - Ponyfish Island, eine kleine Bar auf dem Pylon der Brücke

Die Sonne steht tief und ich suche mir einen Platz im Liegestuhl am Federation Square wo mir die Großbildleinwand zeigen wird, ob ich sp��ter am Abend eine zufriedene Frau wiedertreffen werde.

So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be. #alhumdulilah (at Ponyfish Island)

These Fish Use Bioluminescence For Schooling In The Dark

These Fish Use Bioluminescence For Schooling In The Dark

The bioluminescent ‘flashlight fish’ (Anomalops katoptron) is equipped with a specialized light organ under each eye. These organs are home to light-releasing bacteria which give off a ‘blink’ of light at the discretion of the flashlight fish.

The flashlight fish uses organs housing light-emitting bacteria for bioluminescence. While the bacteria themselves are always producing light, the flashlight fish is able to rotate pocket housing the bacteria to creating a ‘blinking’ effect at the fish’s discretion. The ‘blinks’ can be as slow as 9 blinks per minute to up to 90 blinks per minute.

David Gruber, PLOS One

The flashlight fish is not alone in using bacteria as light factories. Similar organs housing bioluminescent bacteria are found in deep sea anglerfishes and ponyfishes, too. In fact, a 2016 study reports bioluminescent capabilities have evolved at least 27 separate times among fishes alone.

A new discovery sets these flashlight fish apart from many other bioluminescent fishes: the flashlight fish uses its light-flashing bacteria for schooling in the dark. Schooling, or synchronized swimming, requires fish be able to spot one another for coordinated group movement. Accordingly, most fish schools disband when light levels are low – but this is not the case for the flashlight fish.

According to a new study led by researchers at the American Museum of Natural History and the University of Rhode Island, flashlight fish use their bioluminescent ‘blinkers’ to coordinate nighttime schooling.

“It was simply astonishing,” says Dr. John Sparks, Research Associate at the Museum and Professor of biology at Baruch College. “We observed thousands of flashlight fish using synchronized bioluminescent flashes to coordinate their movement and facilitate schooling behavior in complete darkness, a behavior and function that had not previously been reported for bioluminescence.”

During the day, nocturnal flashlight fish rest in shallow caves. But come nightfall, the flashlight fish descend to depths of up to 1200 feet and form groups. Using a submarine and SCUBA divers equipped with low-light cameras, researchers collected footage of flashlight fish off of the Solomon Islands.

The footage collection was no small feat. “Everything had to come together to get these data–the new camera system, the weather, the divers, and, of course, the fish,” explains Dr. Brennan Phillips, Assistant Professor of ocean engineering at the University of Rhode Island and a coauthor of the study. “It was one of the hardest challenges I have faced as a marine roboticist.”

The hard work came with great reward. One of the schools captured was made up of over 1000 fish - the largest aggregation of flashlight fish ever recorded.

Using the extensive footage of flashlight fish grouping behaviors, researchers generated a model that confirmed the fish aggregations exhibited true fish ‘schooling’ behavior, as opposed to less organized groupings known as ‘shoaling’.

Interestingly, the footage showed that not all members of the school actually use their blinkers, perhaps to make the group less visible to potential predators. In fact, the researcher’s modeling analysis concluded that less than 5% of the flashlight fish need to be blinking to maintain the structure of the school.

“Our finding reveals a completely novel function for bioluminescence in the ocean, and shows that fishes are able to school using only the natural light they emit, without the need to rely on ambient light,” explains Sparks.

Describing his flashlight fish encounters as “truly extraordinary,” Phillips hopes his team’s research will inspire more studies of the novel flashlight fish in the future.
