What is the song 'beds are burning' by midnight oil about?
"Beds Are Burning" is a political song about giving native Australian lands back to the Pintupi, who were among the very last people to come in from the desert. These 'last contact' people began moving from the Gibson Desert to settlements and missions in the 1930s. More were forcibly moved during the 1950s and 1960s to the Papunya settlement. In 1981 they left to return to their own country and established the Kintore community which is nestled in the picturesque Kintore Ranges, surrounded by Mulga and Spinifex country. It is a community with a population of about 400. Kintore and the town of Yuendumu are mentioned by name in the lyrics, as are vehicles produced by Holden.[citation needed] It's believed by some that the line, "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?", may also be a reference to his[who?] mother's death in a house fire years earlier.
Midnight Oil performed the song in front of a world audience of millions at the closing ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Then Prime Minister John Howard had triggered controversy that year with his refusal to embrace symbolic reconciliation and apologise to Indigenous Australians and members of the stolen generations. But he had also claimed that the reconciliation-themed "Beds Are Burning" was his favorite Midnight Oil song. The band played it dressed in black, with the word "Sorry" printed conspicuously all over their clothes, as a popular apology to indigenous people and to highlight the issue to Howard, who was in the audience as the ranking Olympic host.
How do you sleep while your beds your burning?
If my bed were burning, I would immediately evacuate the room and call emergency services for assistance. It's important to prioritize safety in the event of a fire and take quick action to protect yourself and others. Remember to have a fire escape plan in place and practice it regularly.
What should mattress height be?
The thicker the mattress the better. Greater mattress height indicates more padding. However, midlevel mattresses can still be very comfortable and a good deal with a little less. Boxsprings also come in regular and more-narrow sizes. The narrower size is for those who wish to reduce the overall height of the bed.

Where do you find a heated blanket to plug into a cigarette lighter in a car?
J.C. Whitney has them. (Who else?) As an option, look for a device called an inverter. It converts 12 volt car power into something like 115 volt AC sorta like what's comin' outa your wall outlet. Plugs into your lighter socket. Commonly available. Just be sure to look at some electric blankets and check the wattage they use so you can get an inverter the right size. The wise person would pre-shop for an inverter online. But the Shack has some as do all the big electronics chains. Ask some questions of your technical helper. Be smart and be safe. The life you save might be your own. Read through both the inverter and the blanket owner's publications completely and with a clear head. This unusual application should be fine, but you are the one ultimately responsible for being up to speed on the proper usage and care of your products. Best of luck.

Could be wrong though :)
I have long slender fingers, but really short (petite) nail beds & have the same difficult nail growth issues as you. I can say that I've bitten my nails somewhat in the past. However, there have been times I've managed to grow my nails 1/2 inch long in the past, & it still looks like they haven't grown at all! They're just so small & brittle. They've been that way since my birth. I'm 30 now, & there's not much I've been able to do to change it or make the nails stronger. I've tried everything. I've always hated the feeling of lack of femininity it gives me having these short nails. But it is what it is. It seems I'll have to continue to get acrylic (fake nails) applied whenever I want to splurge on getting fancy now & then. It seems to be a permanent thing for me. Just want to let you know that you're not alone!
I would like to know the answer, but I wanted to assure you that you are not alone. this is happening on my thumbnail and once the split reaches the top of my nail, I don't know what will happen. the only thing I know is to see a dermatologist. Please tell me if yoiu find information. Good luck. Carole
How do you put slats on a bed if they are curved?
Many of the bed frames we sell come with curved, sprung slats that reach half way across the frame (or all the way in the case of a single). These are fitted at either end into plastic cups with spurs on them, then tapped into purebred holes along the edge and down a central support rail. Another way this can be done is by aligning the slats in the frame whilst it is loosely assembled, and then tightening the frame, securing the slats tightly in place. The slats are always placed with the bow along the top. Hope this helps.

sloping layers of sedimentary rock build up; for example, wind can pile up sand as hill or ridges aka dune As mineral grains of diverse color and composition are blown across the dune, discernible layering can develop, inclined at an angle parallel to the slope of the dune. Such angled layers also develop in sand bars and stream deltas. Geologists refer to this as "cross-bedding" because it cuts across the direction of ordinary horizontal bedding. Sets of cross-beds often develop. For example, at any given point in a stream, periods of deposition may alternate with periods of erosion as the velocity of the wind or water changes. A set of cross-beds in a bar will be truncated by erosion, then covered by another set of cross-beds when deposition resumes.
