The inaugural Save our Soils: Australian Soil Snapshot 2020 commissioned by Soil Science Australia, released today on World Soil Day, suggests protection of Australia's most valuable natural asset, now worth $1 trillion per year, will demand co-ordinated education, data-sharing, research, policy and on-farm application to achieve sustainable land management on a national scale. "Soil is the living skin of the earth, supporting our food production, economy and health, yet our valuable soils are under increasing attack," said Associate Professor Mosley, President, Soil Science Australia. "Erosion from wind and water is the most obvious risk to soil. Everyone understands dust storms, but these can rip a trailer load of fertile topsoil per hour per hectare from an average farm which is terrifying. "What does that mean for future harvests? What does it mean for that farming family? With 10% loss of crop yield forecast by 2050 our ability to sustain livelihoods and our food and fibre production is threatened," he said. Furthermore, with only around 10% of Australia suitable for crops or improved pasture, the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events are decreasing that parcel every year. "Longer and harsher droughts are sucking the life out of soils and battering too many regional communities as well," said Associate Professor Mosley. "Our farmers are looking for new answers but there is still a disconnect with the soil science." The fallout from poor soil management can be felt for generations yet sustainable agricultural practices can dramatically reduce soil damage and improve productivity. The report highlighted other soil issues like urban encroachment onto valuable agricultural land, acidification, salinisation and contamination as common threats that are increasing across Australia. "On one level, we understand how to fix these problems, but this will require investment and everyone working together on this urgent national priority," said Associate Professor Mosley. "We need to strike the right balance between growth and land care, and we must reframe our approach to soil management through an integrated strategy that brings soil scientists, researchers, policymakers and farmers together." Associate Professor Mosley said despite the challenges most landowners wanted to improve their soils. "Information and education is everything. Australia has some of the oldest, poorest soils on earth, but we also have some of the most innovative and resilient farmers and communities who really care about their land. We can sustain our economy, environment and feed the planet if we save our soils. "We need soil security in Australia, it's not just about water. A world without soils would be a world without life," he said. "It all begins and ends beneath our feet." Quotes from Dr Michael Crawford Chief Executive Officer Soil CRC "Soil research is the key to finding solutions to our underperforming soils in agriculture. The Soil CRC provides the opportunity for effective collaboration between industry and science as well as a pathway to adoption of new soil management technologies by farmers. "Through its soil research and innovation program, the Soil CRC is developing new solutions that will unlock the potential of Australia's agricultural sector. "Australian agriculture is facing increasing challenges of longer, more frequent droughts and a hotter, drier climate. Good soil management is one way to help address these challenges." "Climate change and drought are reinforcing the value of soil stewardship. Better soil management can help farms become more resilient in drought by improving water-retention capacity. It can also reduce soil erosion, fertiliser usage and chemical run-offs from farms into the environment. Better soil stores more carbon dioxide, in turn mitigating the effects of climate change and global warming." "By bridging a gap between soil scientists and farmers, we will ensure that soil performance is increased not just in the short term, but in the long term." Soil Science Australia is the national peak body for soils, soil science and soil scientists.

A packed house of country music fans, rodeo and extreme sports enthusiasts were thrilled when Rodeo 4 Life's Grand Entry opened to Queens' We Are The Champions with a star-studded line-up of 25 elite Australian bull riding champions, Rodeo Queen of Australia, Bonnie McLean, country singer Victoria McGee and host John Jarratt, amid a spectacular light show that set the tone of what was to come.Every bull riding champion lives for this extreme sport, its high energy and unpredictability with success dependent on the bull they draw and what happens on the night, Rodeo 4 Life was no exception with the energy fast and furious.Round 1 of the bull riding competition had the audience on the edge of their seats when the thrill-seeking cowboys burst from the chutes drawing on their experience and sharpened skills to stay mounted on John "Happy" Gill and Sons and Matt Besant's mightiest bulls as they exploded from the chutes to a roaring crowd with Australia's legends of rodeo, Glen Morgan and Tyler Pendagast calling the shots. Rodeo Clown Big Al Wilson kept the mood upbeat and the audience laughing while Rodeo Protection clowns Gene McDonald and Rodney-Ray (Rude) Mancell risked life and limb to protect the fallen cowboys from possible disaster.When it came to the concert; the power and spectacle didn't let up when Travis Collins and his band rocked the crowd performing some of his greatest hits for over an hour while the audience cheered and lit up WIN Entertainment Centre with phone torches to much loved music and songs. Then came Round 2 of the rodeo and the competition for the grand prize was fierce as the bull riders challenged themselves against the bulls in the ride of their lives to help save the lives of others in need of organ transplants.With scores close, Troy Wilkinson, 29, from Upper Horton and Marrickville who is ranked 114th in the world, won the inaugural 2019 Rodeo 4 Life Championship title with a combined total score of 169 riding Vertical Exit and Earthbound adding to his string of credits including the highest individual bull riding score in Australia with a record of 93 and the titles of 2015 APRA Bull Riding Champion, 2017 PBR Australia Champion and 2017 PBR World Finals Qualifier.Commenting on his win, Wilkinson said, "The riders always give it their best. We go into every rodeo competing not with each other, but competing with the bulls hoping that all elements come together to achieve the highest score." "With Rodeo 4 Life, I got lucky. This event has taken rodeo bull riding to an incredible new level," said Wilkinson. "Holding Australia's richest bull ride rodeo in an indoor arena, located right on the beach, and combining it with a light show and a full-length concert starring one of Australia's best country music singers, Travis Collins made it an exhilarating experience for riders and the audience. "The house was pumped, the atmosphere incredible, and because it was for charity, it was even more special," he said. Cowboy Toby Collins, 27, from Maldon VIC was the only other rider to successfully score in both rounds and earned a combined score of 160 riding White Ice and Vertical Exit and walked away with $7,500 while Cliff Richardson, 28, from Gresford NSW, earned the highest individual ride score of 92 on superstar bull High Flying Akubra.The evening of extreme sport was not without its thrills and spills when Jono Couling, 26, from Singleton, was thrown in Round Two having a dramatic run in with B.F.G. which left audiences shocked. Couling said, "It's a dangerous sport and that sort of thing is part and parcel of being a bull rider. It happens from time to time. I don't feel too bad, there's nothing majorly wrong with me just a cracked shoulder blade and some scrapes. I've had worse injuries and I'm looking forward to my next rodeo at Christmas."Producer Doug Vickers OAM was delighted with the outcomes saying, "Rodeo 4 Life had 4 primary objectives; to raise wide-spread awareness of the life-saving work of the RPA Transplant Institute and funds to support their vital research; to increase awareness of the importance of organ donation; and, to create an arena spectacular that would thrill and entertain our audience." "Through combining a full-length country music concert with the extreme sport of rodeo bull riding, Rodeo 4 Life achieved all of this and so much more," he said. "Travis Collins gave an incredible performance and every one of our bull riding champions rode their hearts out to give the audience a show they'll never forget while helping give others a chance at life," said Mr Vickers. "Congratulations to all, especially Troy Wilkinson who took out the grand prize and the 2019 Rodeo 4 Life title. Together we achieved what we set out to do including generating widespread awareness of organ transplantation and more than $100,000 for the RPA Transplant Institute as a result of Rodeo 4 Life. With exciting plans are now underway to make next year's Rodeo 4 Life bigger and better, in 2020 we'll give the audience an even more spectacular show," Mr Vickers said. Thanks to the funds raised from Rodeo 4 Life, the RPATI will be able to continue with the development of a world first organ perfusion system that will be able to extend organ viability from the current length of just a few hours to become viable for several days. This will allow more organs to be made available for transplant and a greater number of Australian lives to be saved.-ENDS- RODEO 4 LIFE LINKSRodeo 4 Life Website: https://rodeo4life.com.au/Rodeo 4 Life Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rodeo4lifeau/Organ Donor Register: https://donatelife.gov.au/ RODEO 4 LIFE MEDIA CENTRE – DOWNLOADSPhotographs of Rodeo 4 Life the arena spectacular can be downloaded here: http://bit.ly/RFL-Media or rodeo4life.com.au/media - PHOTO CREDIT: FRENCH'S PHOTOGRAPHY RODEO BULL RIDING RESULTSCOverall WinnerTroy Wilkinson: - Riding Vertical Exit & Earthbound- Score 169- Prize: $9,500 (total: Round 1 + $2k) Round One1.

Contrast this with the manufactured rage of our politicians over the existence of Aussie Farms' Farm Transparency Map, a resource that does nothing more than compile publicly available information. The Aussie Farms map indicates where farms are located in an effort, as the site says, "to force transparency on an industry dependent on secrecy". Each year in Australia, hundreds of millions of animals are confined, tormented, and slaughtered out of public view – behind high walls or in massive compounds. Tens of thousands of chickens are kept inside sheds in an atmosphere so toxic that humans entering the premises report having trouble breathing, sows are confined to stalls barely large enough for them to take a single step forward or backwards, and sheep are punched and cut with clippers by shearers paid to work quickly, not carefully. Any attempt to expose the egregious abuses occurring in these places is met with hand-wringing and rage as well as threats of criminal penalties. Yet a licence and a mobile phone are all that are required for anyone who wants to satiate their bloodlust by taking an expedition into a state forest. A common theme binds both scenarios: whether it's disingenuous angst over a map listing businesses or obsequious facilitation of barbaric slaughter, animals always lose out. Let's allow room in the conversation for consideration of their right to live. Sincerely, Paula Hough Vice President & Deputy General Counsel, Asia-Pacific PETA Australia PO Box 20308, World Square, Sydney NSW 2002 email@example.com Australia's number one trace mineral competition is back to assist farmers in improving animal growth and fertility. 2019-12-01T19:30:00Z australias-number-one-trace-mineral-competition-is-back-to-assist-farmers-in-improving-animal-growth-and-fertility It has certainly been a challenging year for most livestock producers across the country. The on-going impact of poor to desperate seasons across Australia has focused many cattle and sheep producers on the nutritional challenges and one leading animal health company is determined to assist. Virbac Australia are now inviting sheep, beef and dairy producers to enter the Multimin Performance Ready Challenge, a 12-month program focused on the effective use of trace mineral injections for cattle and sheep. As part of the Challenge up to seventy-five producers will receive discounted Multimin product in exchange for sharing their experiences and results with using Multimin and one lucky competing individual or team will win the ultimate prize of an overseas study tour. Valued at more than $21,000, the prize will offer professional development tailored to the winner and their enterprise. "Last year's challenge received an incredible amount of support and engagement from the public and livestock experts all over Australia. Challengers saw better conception rates, tighter calving intervals, improved immune function, reduced disease, and better general health," said Dr Jerry Liu, Nutritionist and Livestock Nutrition Marketing Manager, Virbac Australia. For previous Multimin Challenge winner Renee Murfett, the Multimin Challenge was a great opportunity to see the significant impact of trace mineral supplementation on her dairy calves immunity and health. As part of her prize, Virbac Australia is sending Renee to the World Ag Expo in the USA in February where she will learn more about best-practice dairy farming. "We want to work with sheep, beef and dairy producers from across Australia to see how they too can improve fertility, animal health and ultimately herd performance with the use of Multimin and encourage all to enter," says Dr Liu. "We know that during high demand periods such as joining, weaning and birthing, animals have elevated requirements for trace minerals. And consequently, with less feed available than normal in many areas of Australia, stock are not receiving many nutrients, including trace minerals." "Large parts of the country are certainly struggling and keeping a positive mentality can be difficult for producers during these unfavorable times. The industry data we are seeing is indicative of this with producers purchasing less drenches and vaccines which is one sign that stock numbers have declined. There are far fewer animals to treat this year versus last year the last few weeks of bushfires doesn't help. "Our national interest is to re-build Australia's livestock numbers and improving the immunity and fertility in our animals will be a major contributor to this. During these tough times, improved health and productivity is going to pay off and we want to assist producers as much as we can to do this," Dr Liu said. Angus producer Nick Boshammer from NBGenetics in Chinchilla, QLD has recently had a positive result with Multimin and looks forward to entering the Multimin Performance Ready Challenge to further advance his herd and gain access to industry experts. "I used Multimin pre-joining in October this year and saw a 100% response rate in my fixed time AI program. I want to get as many AI pregnancies as I can which means getting stock in calf as early as possible. It's about increasing my animals' trace minerals levels during this high demand period to give them every opportunity to cycle early on. "We need all the help we can get in these tough conditions, so I'll be entering the Multimin Challenge this year and encouraging my friends to enter as well. I think there is a big opportunity for Multimin to be used in early weaned calves. I will Multimin every one of my weaned calves this month to give them a rapid top-up of essential minerals for future performance and fertility," Mr Boshammer said. As part of the program, producers will have the support and expertise of some of Australia's most experienced animal experts to hone their operations. Experts include: Dr Paula Gonzalez-Rivas, Technical Services Manager for Nutrition at Virbac Australia Dr Matthew Ball, Veterinarian and Senior Technical Services Manager - Cattle at Virbac Australia and owner of Beacon Veterinary Dr George Cox, Technical Services Manager - Sheep at Virbac Australia Dr Colin Trengove, Veterinarian and Managing Director, Pro-Ag Consulting Dr Enoch Bergman, Owner Veterinarian, Swans Veterinary Services Dr Graham Lean, Principal Consultant at Agrivet Business Consulting As well as the overseas trip, the overall winner will also take home a 12-month supply of Multimin. The second and third runners-up will receive a six month supply of Multimin. Entries for the Multimin Performance Ready Challenge are open from 1 December 2019 with only seventy-five challengers selected.

Virbac's Target Sheep initiative is aimed at optimising the health and performance of livestock at three key stages of the production cycle; pre-joining, pre-lambing and marking/weaning. The roadshow focused on how to increase productivity by managing worm resistance with an effective drench program. The Target Sheep events bring together industry experts, veterinarians and producers to improve on-farm productivity and profitability through leading animal health management practices and industry benchmarks. Key speakers at this weeks events included Veterinary Parasitology Consultant, Dr Tim Elliott and Virbac Australia Area Sales Manager's, Emily Fowler, Matthew Grylls and Rod Evans. Tim's presentation educated producers about worm biology and their life cycle, with tips on pasture management and drench strategies to reduce the risk of internal parasites specific to the region. "A summer drench at this time of year needs to be a very effective drench to ensure a successful reduction in worm burden," said Tim. "Weaned lambs are highly susceptible to worms, but effective drenching helps to increase weaner growth rates. For all these reasons, this first summer drench is of vital importance, so farmers can remove the worm burden in individual livestock, reduce pasture contamination from worms and allow for healthier weaners over summer." During the Yass event, Emily Fowler encouraged attendees to join Virbac's Target Sheep program which allows producers to formulate sheep managing strategies specific to their region. "With resistance to treatment becoming an increasing problem, the summer drench farmers choose can make a huge difference in the success of any worm control program. For these reasons, farmers must choose a potent and persistent solution that protects stock against infection and boosts sheep wellbeing and productivity, for healthier, more profitable farms. The Target Sheep program is a practical forum with open discussions and engagement from independent experts. The group aims to tackle relative important issues throughout the sheep production cycle." Around 20 local sheep producers attended the Boorowa event, and Brad Smith from Neringah Farm described his local event as a very informative day. "I find it concerning that there will be no new drench actives being released in the near future and therefore appreciated Dr Tim Elliot's emphasis on the importance of drench selection and conducting regular worm egg counts." With summer storms becoming a common occurrence in the Boorowa region, Emily Fowler explained now is not the time to be complacent in worm management programs. "Summer storm events are breeding pools for barbers pole worm and liver fluke. We encouraged all attendees to continue monitoring their sheep and carry out regular worm egg tests as well as be aware of the resistance levels on their farm as no two farms are the same. Hopefully this has been a useful discussion for our local producers, and it's given them some useful information to now go out and act on." Virbac will be hosting further Target Sheep events throughout Australia in the coming months.

Although Ivory Coat is the number one grain free brand in the pet speciality channel, the company recognise that dogs love variety when it comes to meal time. By launching Ivory Coat Wholegrain dog food, with dry and chilled options, the brand is able to guarantee that no matter the reason, there is an Ivory Coat product that will appeal to your pet. Consumers treat their dogs like part of the family and gain fulfilment from seeing them thrive. However, they also recognise that dogs will be dogs and embrace their natural animal instincts. With this in mind, The Idea Shed team created a series of animal-centric visuals celebrating dogs exhibiting this natural animal behaviour and combined it with tailored messaging to ensure it was contextually relevant to the specific touchpoint. The campaign delivers impact with the disruptive 'butt-sniff' visual and dual headline. Not only does the image give a point of difference when compared to category norms, it brings to life the key benefit of supporting good gut health in a simple and visual way, making it an easy get for the consumer. In addition to this, against the back drop of increased humanisation of animals, The Idea Shed's creative is deliberately animal-centric and delivers its core message with clever wit and personality. Real Pet Food Company's Channel Marketing Manager, Jacqueline Nalder said: "Our pets have individual needs, just like us. We recognise there is no "one size fits all" food, which is why we have launched our wholegrain range for dogs, with varieties across both dry and now chilled options. It's an easy way to look after your dog's overall gut health and offers an alternative to our grain free range, for those dogs without food sensitivities or allergies." Shopper Marketing Manager, Cheryl Griffin added: "We have worked with The Idea Shed to seamlessly bring this campaign to life across OOH, instore and digital. We love that the campaign is packed full of personality and that good gut health is brought to life through the lens of those behaviours animals exhibit naturally." Also commenting on the campaign John Volckman, Co-Founder/Partner of The Idea Shed said: "While saying hello is relatively straight forward for humans, the butt-sniff is the dog's handshake. Taking this insight, we had fun developing a campaign which shines the light on dogs being dogs. Our team has enjoyed bringing this campaign to life across the full path to purchase, identifying scenarios that show healthy dogs doing what they do best – being dogs. It was also great that the team at Real Pet Food utilised our full scope of services to bring this Ivory Coat campaign to market. They are such a passionate group and we are enjoying working with them across a number of campaigns which we are excited to see hit the market in the new year."

Level Two restrictions will be enforced in the Greater Sydney, Blue Mountains and Illawarra regions from 10 December. Fines may be slapped on those using hoses and sprinklers. People have been asked to restrict the length of their showers. But, while we are staying dirty and our gardens dying, there is no mention of the production of meat, dairy and eggs. Enormous amounts of water are used in irrigating the crops that farmed animals eat, providing millions of animals with drinking water, and washing away the polluting filth of factory farms, trucks and slaughterhouses. All for products that are cruel to animals, harmful to human health, and detrimental to the environment. An average of 4,500 litres of water is required to produce just one steak, and the production of a single hamburger requires the same amount of water as taking around 30 showers. The government would be better off ensuring that food vendors in government buildings remove animal products from their menus. This would set a positive example for the rest of the state. Any water conservation measures must include a long, hard look at animal agriculture industries. Mimi Bekhechi Campaigns Strategist People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA Australia) PO Box 20308 World Square Sydney, NSW, 2002 (08) 8556-5828 Draft 'Design Build Practitioners Bill' does not extend compliance far enough, says AIPM 2019-11-25T01:15:52Z draft-design-build-practitioners-bill-does-not-extend-compliance-far-enough-says-aipm Draft 'Design Build Practitioners Bill' does not extend compliance far enough, says AIPM 25th November 2019. Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) has submitted its responses to the draft legislation of the Design and Building Practitioners Bill 2019 and 'Building Stronger Foundations' Discussion Paper. In its submission to the NSW Government's Better Regulation Division, AIPM acknowledged that the legislation is a major step forward in ensuring compliant building work, considering the systematic failures within current building codes and conduct within the building and construction industry. AIPM believes the aims of the Bill are admirable and in line with community expectations. The obligations of building practitioners are well-defined; however, the Bill currently limits its focus on designers and constructors and ignores broader project management and certifier compliance. Obligations remain limited, and not extended across the full process of building work. 'We need to ensure the Bill has adequate countermeasures that would actively discourage short cuts that are currently being taken in the building industry', says Ms Elizabeth Foley, CEO at AIPM. The draft legislation currently defines practitioner as a 'design practitioner, principal design practitioner or building practitioner'. There would be various other practitioners involved in a typical building including project managers and certifiers, yet currently excluded in this definition, and therefore the compliance process, who need to ensure work is completed in accordance with a concept design and with building codes and standards. 'There needs to be a commitment to compliance providing adequate coverage of the full design process, and this can't be achieved by the current definition of "practitioner" in the Bill', Ms Foley said. AIPM also believes education is a key issue within management and leadership in construction, causing the gap in accountability across building work processes, and compliance with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) 'performance requirements'. 'We have university graduates coming straight out of classrooms and given tasks they are not experienced in, with no practical building knowledge and more importantly they do not have the skills or confidence to communicate with trades people and builders alike', Ms Foley said. The draft Bill is hosted on the NSW Govt website, which can be accessed at here. A full version of AIPMs response to the draft Bill can be accessed here. Elizabeth Foley, CEO of AIPM is available for comment on request.

Dogs lost to heat 2019-11-19T11:25:32Z dogs-lost-to-heat The Editor Dear Editor, As the weather heats up (and it's not even summer yet!) we need to remember our canine companions, who often suffer more than we do during high temperatures. Most people know now not to leave dogs in hot cars, in which the temperature on a warm day can rise to forty degrees in five minutes. Yet still police and motorist organisations are rescuing hundreds of dogs every year from this agonising fate. People are often unaware that parking in the shade and with your windows down doesn't make much difference to the temperature inside your car. A less-known danger is faced by dogs who are tied up in yards without access to shade and water. A dog in Brisbane was found dead last week from heat stress after being tethered to a fencepost in the sun. Dogs should be kept inside in the cool but, if they must be left outside, The RSPCA have appealed to people to secure their gardens rather than use tethers, ensure there is always an area of shade as the sun shifts around the garden, and always to have two to three containers of water available, in case one gets knocked over. If you see an animal in distress, please call the police or the RSPCA.

NSW and ACT Guiding Community merges with NT to create A Place To Grow Together 2019-11-18T03:48:23Z nsw-and-act-guiding-community-merges-with-nt-to-create-a-place-to-grow-together The NSW & ACT Girl Guides community will merge with Girl Guides NT to form Girl Guides NSW, ACT and NT from January 2020 creating a 7,800 strong member organisation. The merger offers a chance to expand learnings and foster collaboration between the state and territories. Girl Guides in NT will have access to greater resources and opportunities through this partnership, with all the administrative and operational benefits of a larger Association. More opportunities will be available to assist with the geographical challenges faced in the NT. The partnership will also allow Guides in the NT to participate in creative initiatives run by Girl Guides NSW & ACT such as GirlMade which supports girls to express themselves creatively. The NT community hope to share their unique experiences and perspectives with the NSW & ACT members, to further support the growth and empowerment of the next generation of Australian women. Letitia Baldwin, NT Regional Manager, Girl Guides NT, is looking forward to this new step in NT Guiding history, believing it will bring great benefit to the girls and Leaders. "I have a brilliant team of Leaders and we will work well with the NSW and ACT teams. It is important to have fresh ideas and the chance to network, especially for our adult members so they can share that with the girls. I want to make this community as big and beautiful as it can be. "I think the opportunities are going to be endless; NSW & ACT have an exciting range of things for girls to do and now we will be able to leverage this and get the girls involved in so many more activities. "It is great to know we're not alone; we are a part of a large network. I am looking forward to NT standing proud and showing off what we can do," said Ms Baldwin. Eboney Prentice, Leader Darwin District, Girl Guides NT, has been a member of the Guiding community for 30 years; having had many unique experiences with Guiding including travelling the world, she is now sharing the Guiding experience with her daughter. "Guiding focuses on the community, it encourages girls to think about more than just themselves, to learn from others and give back to the world around them. The joining of our communities will support this Guiding mission and enhance the girls experience," said Ms Prentice. Sarah Neill, State Commissioner, Girl Guides NSW & ACT, travelled to NT earlier this year and met the Guiding community; she is thrilled to be partnering with them. "I am looking forward to working closely with Letitia and her team who have such a deep passion for Guiding. The girls as always are at the centre of what we do and we know this partnership will enhance their Guiding experience with increased support," said Mrs Neill. -ENDS- Notes to editor: Girl Guides NSW, ACT & NT are devoted to the growth and development of girls. They provide a place where girls can learn, build their skills and connect with like-minded peers. The benefits also extend to the Leaders and volunteers who play a vital role in supporting the girls. Guides work to serve their community and help those in need offering help where they can.

Australia's Oldest Online Pet Supply Retailer Turns 20! 2019-11-08T00:02:58Z australia-s-oldest-online-pet-supply-retailer-turns-20 The year was 1999. The world was worried about Y2K, eBay had just launched in Australia and brothers Mark and Steven Perissinotto were preparing to launch Australia's first online pet supplies business. Now twenty years and over 2.5 million orders later, VetShop Australia will celebrate over 100 dog years of business on the 17th of November. Like many great businesses, Steven says it all started over the table at a big family lunch. "We came up with the idea over lunch and were able to launch VetShopAustralia three months later," Mr.Perissinotto said. The brothers saw the huge opportunity the internet provided, and started the business part-time out of the back of veterinarian Mark's Nambour clinic. "We were working fifty hours a week at our original jobs and then putting in another twenty or so hours to only be getting ten orders per day," Mark Perissinotto said. "Success didn't come to us overnight, running your own business is always ninety percent perspiration, ten percent inspiration" said Steven. The breakthrough came in 2001 when, recognising high levels of interest from US buyers, the international website changed its currency to USD and sales instantly grew around 10-12% month-on-month between 2001-2006. This success enabled Mark to leave his veterinary practice in 2005 and saw Steven leave law in 2007 to allow them to concentrate on the business full time. In 2009, the business moved from Image Flat to a larger premises at Forest Glen where it remains today, shipping orders to over 1 million customers in over 70 countries. Over the years, the business has picked up a number of awards including a Telstra Business People's Choice Award in 2011, Power Retail Top 100 Retailer in 2017 and the Top 150 in 2018. Both Mark and Steven have also been nominated for a variety of awards. Mark was a finalist in the EY Entrepreneur of the Year awards in 2015 and Steven was recently named as one of the Top 50 People in E-Commerce by Internet Retailing. VetShop Australia has also been the sponsor of the Surfing Dog Championships, held as part of the Noosa Festival of Surfing, since 2012. About VetShopAustralia VetShopAustralia is an online pet retailer that has been proudly serving Australian pet owners since 1999. With its head office and distribution centre located in Forest Glen, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, VetShop Australia stock a huge range of over 1000 pet-related products; including international brand name animal health products such as NexGard, Bravecto, Revolution, Advocate, Hills and Royal Canin.

The project investigated the use of grid soil mapping to measure a variety of surface soil chemical properties, and also explored the relationships between different soil characteristics observed in the grid mapped data. Over a 12-month period in 2018, Precision Agriculture tested and mapped approximately 100,000 hectares of agricultural land across New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania. Principal Scientist with Precision Agriculture, Dr Kirsten Barlow, said results from 289 paddocks – almost 10,000 grid soil samples -where multiple soil properties were measured, were used in this project. "The grid soil sampling divides each paddock into small grids, generally a two-hectare grid, although this varies across industries," Dr Barlow said. "We collected 0-10cm soil cores within each grid on a diagonal transect that zig-zagged through the paddock, with the samples then sent to a commercial, accredited laboratory for analysis. "The soil tests varied notably between and within each paddock." Soil pH – the acidity or alkalinity of the soil – generally had the lowest variation, while Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), which influences the ability of the soil to supply plant nutrients (calcium, magnesium and potassium) and Exchangeable Sodium Percentage (ESP) had the greatest variability within a paddock. The investigation into the relationships between the different soil tests also revealed wide variations. While some soil characteristics such as pH and CEC were well correlated in some paddocks, for most other characteristics up to 75% of paddocks had no consistent trends between the soil test data. Dr Barlow said soil acidity and sodicity are common constraints limiting crop performance, which can be addressed through variable rate applications of lime and gypsum, while nutrients such as phosphorus can be more strategically targeted through variable rate fertiliser applications. "Grid soil mapping provides a comprehensive measure of the variation in soil properties across the paddock," Dr Barlow said. "Where multiple soil properties are measured, separate, more targeted, variable rate strategies can be developed for each soil constraint to ameliorate individual soil properties." Further details on the results of the study can be found at: https://precisionagriculture.com.au/grid-soil-mapping-defines-the-variability-in-multiple-soil-properties/

Yup, looking for something bigger than the Can Am 12 gallon trunk I have now without having a large steel box that requires mounting with nuts/bolts. This 23 gallon trunk from Mutazu may be a bargain at $199 shipped. With the raised edge and seal on the lid should keep dirt/moisture out, plus uses the LinQ adapters to mount. Of course the rear view mirror will become even more useless than it is now...
Anybody have this one that can comment on quality?

If you missed our last support webinar, we have a copy of it right here for you! In our latest free information session, Melanie has shared with you the top 7 Keto Mistakes You Are Making.
If you've been following along, or thinking about trying, the keto lifestyle, this support webinar is for you!
Why I created Nutracelle
I'm a Mom of three who struggled with my weight for years, losing weight only to gain it all back again over and over. When my family doctor told me I had developed pre-diabetes, I knew I had to do something different. In 2009, I had weight loss surgery and lost over 100 pounds.
Even though my surgery gave me life and my confidence back, I knew I needed to replace the flour and sugar in my food and change my eating habits - or I would regain the weight.
As a mom of children with life-threatening nut-allergies, I quickly realized there were no safe protein powders that were made in a nut-free facility. Every protein we could find, even if they didn't have 'may contain nuts' on the label - was made on the same equipment that also processed nut-flavours or ingredients.

If you have teens, you can symphatize...they like what they like and are hard to crack to get them trying new things, so I thought! My teen daughter is first year resident away from home, needles to say sometimes I worry about the eating habits she results to. I convinced her to try the SALTED CARAMEL on her last visit at home, and showed her how EASY it is to make, literally add water, shake and go! She loves SALTED CARAMEL ICE CREAM nad belive me I was blown away when she made a remark that this tastes JUST like that. THANK YOU NUTRACELLE, it's one step at a time, but this was a HUGE ONE FOR US!!!
I love the salted Caramel in my coffee .
I mix my strawberry with almond and coconut milk, add a coulpe of extra berries to it and I sweat it tastes like a milk shake and it is actually good for you! The whole family is hooked on it! THe nutra bites are my "not so guily pleasure" treats, love them!
takes no time at all, simple ingredients, LOVE IT! made chocolate bread topped with nut butter and fresh berries. No left over - says a lot!
I've made the chicken wings now twice getting my book I just love it. The smoothies are are very delicious
All flavours are sooo good! Cafe Mocha is my Favourite by far though!
healthy and delecious lunch on the go!
I have been using Nutracelle for a few years now. It is by far the best protein I have ever tried! I love how nice and smoothly it mixes and that it tastes great in water.
I have been using Nutracelle products for about 3-4 years and haven't strayed to date. It is by far, without a doubt, the smoothest, most delicious tasting fulfilling protein on the market. We would run out and be lost without it. It is not only a daily part of our diet but in most cases part of our childrens diet. Couldn't be happier with our most resent order. The bites are so convenient and tasty!!!.
Just received my latest order of Vanilla Cream and Coffee Mocha. These two are the top of my favourites list. I ran out and had to order more. Thanks for the quick delivery and the great taste. 👍
I love love love this protein powder.. It mixes sooo well into everything I make. I use the natural a lot & put it in every meal I make
Vanilla Cream is one of my favorite flavours! Water and whipping cream and it tastes like a vanilla milkshake!!
There are few sugar free, gluten free, soy free.... and GREAT TASTING GUMMIE VITAMINS out there. I've got my family to try and everyone's loved them!
More Than Smoothies Cookbook digital download cook book - We tried the chocolate bread last night with the family topping it with some nut butter and raspberries, I guess that tere is no leftover a 5 satr review that speaks for itself! THANK YOU!
NUTRALEAN Prebiotic Protein Powder | Vanilla Cream
Really enjoying the easy to make recipes in the cookbook. Plenty of great ideas and uses with your Nutralean Powders
I'm loving using the Natural Nutralean in recipes and smoothies. These powders are amazing
I've never been a big fan of protein powders, most of them made me nauseous and I hated the taste. So I was a bit skeptical waiting in my Nutracelle order. I thought I'd try the salted caramel first and oh my goodness, I loved the taste and actually look forward to having it each morning. I'm already noticing after 2 weeks that my tummy flab is slowly going away!
I ordered Chocolate and Vanilla along eith the 2 flavours of Nutrabites and I'm addicted to it all.
ok, I have tried Strawberry and Chocolate dream, and don't get me wrong they were both really yummy, BUT the Salted Caramel is my ABSOLUTE FAVE! I do share it with my teenage son (sparingly) and my spouse, who both agree it is very decadent and satisfying! Just like a creamy dessert in a shake form. I do find it is very palatable, keeps us full for hours gentle on our gut and super easy to consume even on it's own just mixed with water. I am very greatful and fan for sure!
Already thinking about the Holidays and indulging and I was a bit frightened "to fall of the wagon" with all the temptations the season brings....These bites are perfect to curb that sudden urge to snack on something sinful :) they are perfect size and I fell great about munching on them, guilt free! I don't find them satiating, however as I said just perfect to satisfy my senses when the urge hits!
It took a while for me to choose my next flavour as I am a bit anxious of trying "new flavours" but I must say I am glad I did. So refreshing, easy to blend, add a couple of mushed berries to my shake some plant based milk and oh so yummy!!
I've been using nutracelle for about 4+ years now,( not consistently I must confess). I really like the chocolate and mocha espresso. I usually mix 1 scoop of each with 1cup if almond milk & ice & blend well with blender. It is satisfying & filling, (but does give a gassy feeling a few hours later). Symptoms settle once used for awhile😊.
Connie keeps me on track, I don't know what I would do without her! I gained almost 40 pounds back after losing over 125 pounds at my lowest and I was devastated. Connie not only helped me see where I was eating more than I realized, she created a meal plan that is super easy for me to stick to. And because she had weight loss surgery she really knows what works and what doesn't. I had tried a dietitician through my doctor, but they just kept telling me to exercise more and eat more meals and I was getting depressed. Connie showed me how to change my thinking and she keeps me accountable and motivated. She is always there and and I finally feel in control again. THANK YOU CONNIE!!!
I promised myself to include protein at every meal. Not as easy as it sounds! This protein powder tastes great and makes my protein intake easier. I use the coffee mocha with almond milk in my daily coffee. I use the vanilla cream in my smoothies. I have more flavours on the way to try and recently received the cookbook so I am looking forward to trying some new ways to use NutraLean.
All I can say is the Chocolate Dream is life, I've been eating the Keto way since June and it didn't take me long to find the monotony of eggs for breakfast every day frustrating. Then my sister gave me a bag of Chocolate Dream and I started to look forward to breakfast. When I joined the gym in August the trainer asked me what my favourite Keto meal was and I said my Chocolate Dream shake from nutracelle, he was quite surprised by my answer, but it's true sometimes the thought of my delicious shake is just the motivation I need to get out of bed in the morning. I love it.
Great taste, no fuss when it comes to my kids taking them. Thank you!
Dear Nutracelle Team, I can't begin to tell you how many protein powders, drinks, bars etc I have tried over the last couple of years, and none of them stayed in my life permanently...the taste, texture or versatility was always off, so I was left with barely used containers that I had spent quite a bit of money on and was left feeling guilty for not using them, but even that wasn't enough to make me stick to the plan. I have to be honest with you, my first purchase was the Salted Caramel protein powder through Amazon.ca. I came across it just by accident searching for a prebiotic protein powder and viola! I figured what the heck if I can't consume it for what ever reason I'll just use it up baking...WELL, I HAVE TO TELL YOU, I AM HOOKED!!! The taste, texture and what it does to my body, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH! My Teens LOVE it too which I am sooooo grateful for as well! My next purchase was the Chocolate dream with the same intention, if not f=great on it's own I'll just use it up in my baking or dessert recipes. I find the taste mild so I added some raw cacao powder and a touch of peppermint oil and oh yummmm! Thank you for all the care and research you out into your products, I am one satisfied, returning customer!!!
I bought the Vanilla Cream flavour of Nutralean protein powder and I love it! So creamy, not chalky like some other protein powders I've tried. I will definitely be buying more in other flavours.
Nutrabites Protein Balls
Easy to take, melt in your mouth, and taste very good.

Govt holds talks with Manipur's Naga body
Hindustan Times
New Delhi, Nov 16: Nagaland Governor RN Ravi, the Chief Interlocutor in talks with Naga rebels, on Friday urged Nagas in neighbouring Manipur to enable a resolution of the insurgency by forging a consensus on the need for a settlement. Expressing his concern at a meeting with leaders of the United Naga Council (UNC) of Manipur, the apex body of Naga tribes of Manipur, in Kohima,Ravi said a resolution cannot be arrived at without taking the "sensitivities of all stakeholders" into account.
Integration of all Naga-inhabited areas is a key demand of the Nagas. The Centre has refused to bring all Naga-inhabited areas under one administrative area. Forming autonomous councils for Naga-inhabited areas is one possibility on which both New Delhi and the Nagas have agreed upon.
Manipur has expressed its discomfort over the proposal. Manipur has a large Naga population and Deputy Chief Minister Yumnam Joykumar Singh has already said autonomous councils for just Naga-inhabited areas will not be acceptable to his state.
Ravi reminded the UNC of the need to restore the "traditional harmonious relations" among the hill and the valley people of Manipur.
The Government of India and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah), the biggest Naga insurgent outfit, signed a framework agreement in 2015 in a bid to find a solution to the Naga issue. Talks have been underway between the Centre, NSCN-IM and seven other Naga outfits to conclude the peace effort.

Says PIIT Management – Students go on strike
The greenbacked monster rears its ugly head at MES' Pillai's Institute of Information Technology (PIIT), Panvel, Navi Mumbai, as a fee hike of Rs.22000/- is imposed on existing students. Ashish Shakya brings you the latest on the situation…
On 14th August, the college put up a notice informing students of the increase from Rs. 46000/- to Rs.67900/-. This amount, incidentally, is greater than the fees charged by A-Grade institutions such as TSEC, Bandra (Rs.55000/-) and K.J Somaiya, Vidyavihar (Rs. 49100/-). ( PIIT is ungraded as of now.)
The sick twist in the tale here is the imposition of this revised fee on existing students. People who'd been admitted under a lower fee structure were suddenly faced with the prospect of paying an additional Rs.22000/- per year. This, in spite of the fact, that the Shikshan Shulk Samiti (SSS) had prescribed this hike for the academic year 2006-07. (Ref. Circular No: SSS/FINAL FEE/2006/1113, dated 31st July, 2006)
The students, in a bid for justice, approached the college management on 17th August with a signature petition bearing 800 signatures. They were greeted with a mix of indifference ("This hike is by the government. What can we do?") and hostility ( "You can do whatever you want!"). It was time to strike.
Even as prospective freshers queued up for admission, their seniors gathered outside college by the hundreds, chanting slogans and refusing to attend classes till their concerns were addressed. It was then that Orkut, Google's behemoth networking site, made its presence felt in an unprecedented manner.
The students used Orkut to discuss future plans, and also vented their frustrations against the college, using language that..well..engineers are prone to using when they're pissed off. The management, unexpectedly tech-savvy, managed to get hold of the incriminating scraps and have allegedly printed them out, along with their profiles, and are using this information to target specific students.
"Some students are being threatened with low term work, while others are being offered high marks as an incentive to quit the strike", confides a student, on condition of anonymity.
"They're not allowing us to submit our concession forms, and even our exam forms", says another.
This was on Thursday, 24th August, after students had put their strike on a hold. They had been promised a meeting on Saturday, 26th August, subjected to their attending lectures on Thursday and Friday. That meeting, however, was cancelled by the management and letters were dispatched to students' homes, explaining how their ward's participation in the strike and refusal to pay the fees would "affect his/her term work" and "may lead to expulsion."
When this correspondent visited the college, the principal B.B Shrivastava refused to comment on the issue, saying that "We are not interested in your JAM magazine..". Further queries via fax did not elicit a reply, and phonecalls were met with a hurried "I'm in a meeting now *slam*".
One official, on condition of anonymity, said that there was no strike happening, professed ignorance about any meeting with the students and refuted claims of high-handed behaviour as alleged by the students.
The students, at the time of writing this article, were planning their future course of action – undoubtedly a difficult task if you take into consideration the mind-numbing pressure of academics. A similar fee hike occurred at SIES Graduate School of Technology, Nerul in 2003, which led to the filing of a case. The matter is still sub-judice, waiting for a hearing in the Supreme Court.
While PIIT can boast of one of the best infrastructures in Navi Mumbai, its blanket approach to fee hikes (and a 47% one at that) is questionable, if not utterly rapacious.
Watch this space for further developments.
JAM hopes that justice will prevail and wishes the students good luck. If you have had any such experiences in your academic life, or know of someone who has, write in to us at firstname.lastname@example.com

For me October has always meant pumpkins, cozy sweaters, and crisp air. It's a time to gear up for the chilly months ahead and relish in the cooler weather after all of the slow summer afternoons and before the deep freeze of winter sets in. However, this year I'm somewhere a little different: I'm in sunny Queensland, Australia. Halloween isn't such a big thing here like it is for us in Canada. Though while it's not as common for kids to go trick or treating or for everyone to get dressed up in costumes I still felt the need to do something festive for the spooky holiday.
It didn't take long to realize that something with frozen bananas would be perfect a hot spring day. Plus, bananas are grown right here in Queensland which is pretty cool since I've always been used to buying bananas from somewhere far away. This recipe is more of an assembly process than anything and requires only a few ingredients to transform your everyday banana into a Chocolate Coated Mummy. Since these mummies are essentially just frozen bananas they can be made well in advance of your Halloween festivities, which means more time for carving pumpkins or getting your costumes all ready to go on the day of!
To make the Chocolate Coated Mummies you will need:
200g of 70% dark chocolate
100g of milk chocolate
100g of white chocolate
5 teaspoons of coconut oil
6 bananas, halved
Skewers or popsicle sticks
Peel and halve the bananas and insert a skewer or popsicle stick in the bottom of each one. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour.
Break up the milk and dark chocolate into pieces and place in a bowl with 3 teaspons of coconut oil. Heat the chocolate at 30 second increments in the microwave stirring at each break. After about 60-90 seconds most of the chocolate should be melted. Give it a good stir, often times the residual heat from the bowl can help the melt the last solid pieces of chocolate. If more time in the microwave is needed to melt the final pieces heat it for 10 seconds at a time to ensure you don't overheat the chocolate.
Follow the same procedure for the white chocolate adding the remaining two teaspoons of coconut oil.
Dip the frozen bananas in the melted chocolate to coat it evenly, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Then with a spoon drizzle the white chocolate across each banana. Return the bananas to the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up the chocolate.
To make the eyes you can use:
- Ziploc bag (fill and snip a corner of the bag to make a small hole)
- Parchment paper piping bag (pastry chefs call this a cornet)
- A steady hand and a spoon
Make two small round eyes on each banana with the white chocolate. Once the white chocolate is set dip a skewer into the dark chocolate mixture to make the dark pupils. Put the bananas back into the freezer to set the eyes in place, where they can remain until you're ready to eat them!
What are you doing for Halloween this year?
Enjoy & until next time,
Meaghan X Splendid Spoonfuls

It encompasses both intra- and interpersonal processes. National Scientific Council on the Developing Child2 Infants experience, express, and perceive emotions before they fully understand them. In learning to recognize, label, manage, and communicate their emotions and to perceive and attempt to understand the emotions of others, children build skills that connect them with family, peers, teachers, and the community. These growing capacities help young children to become competent in negotiating increasingly complex social interactions, to participate effectively in relationships and group activities, and to reap the benefits of social support crucial to healthy human development and functioning.
How to Write a Summary of an Article? Emotional Functioning And Social Competence This article is more of a research paper and review on previous studies than new experimental findings.
This paper tries to make a connection between emotional functioning and social competence popularity of a child.
Peers of the children were chosen as the source of competence evaluations. This research was based on six different emotional functions and abilities. Understanding of emotions seems very closely correlated to peer social status of a child. Emotion regulation also seems to play a key role in the social competence of a child.
Most children realize that they are in charge of their emotions and that emotions can be altered. Children who are able to display more self-control will be perceived as a more desirable play partners.
The concept of emotional display rules is similar to emotion regulation. Emotional display rules are the rules that are followed so as to keep the peace and balance in a social setting. Certain emotions are not appropriate for some situations. It is difficult to quantitatively assess how well a child uses emotional display rules, but it follows logically that a child who is well liked by his peers will be able to properly display or mask his emotions in a given situation.
Both teachers and peers describe popular children as more cooperative and helpful than the average child, and rejected children as less helpful. However, there was no direct evidence for concluding that social status can be predicted from sympathetic responding.
Mood states of a child can also be a factor in whether that child is a desirable playmate or not. Children who routinely display positive moods are better liked by their peers. Moody children tend to be disliked by their peers. However, it is difficult to determine cause and effect of this.
We do not always know, as with many other psychological studies, what the cause is and what the effect is. This seems to be the case with the mood states of the children.
However, in all the other cases, the cause seems to be the emotional functionality of the child and the effect is popularity. So should we teach our children to be more emotionally stable and functional? We can make our society more utopian by making sure that our children are emotionally functional and that all the children are accepted by each other.
As those children grow to be adults, they can be more cooperative and productive, making a overall better society.Child Development Tracker: Social and Emotional Growth PBS Parents () Provides information by age group on the social and emotional growth of children.
The Child Development Tracker also provides tips to facilitate normal social-emotional progress in children, ages 1–9.
Building on existing research that shows links between social emotional development and outcomes in adulthood, this study helps make a stronger case for recognizing children's social competence as an essential building block in any Culture of Health.
social competence; social relationships E motional competencies are thought to be important numerous programs of social and emotional learning in school and work settings. Nonetheless, research on EI is Lopes et al.
/ EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND SOCIAL INTERACTION The overall goal of this study was to determine if executive function (EF) skills play a role in the social competence of preschool-aged children born preterm.
Sociodemographic factors, such as socioeconomic status and age, may also affect the development of both social competence and EF. Social and emotional learning (SEL) enhances students' capacity to integrate skills, attitudes, and behaviors to deal effectively and ethically with daily tasks and challenges.
Like many similar frameworks, CASEL's integrated framework promotes intrapersonal, interpersonal, and cognitive competence.
