Home Hacks
What to do if Your Ceiling Leaks
Here is what you need to do to deal with ceiling leaks!
By : Theresa Ong
20 June 2018
Nondescript and hidden, floor traps are usually the last thing on a homeowner's mind when it comes to house cleaning. However, just like other household fixtures and items, floor traps need regular care and maintenance. Leaving your floor traps unattended for a long period of time may leave a thorn in your side.
For those who are finally thinking of giving some TLC to your floor traps, here are 4 tips to help you get started:
1. Do not pour dirty liquid down the floor trap
It may seem convenient, or even common-sensical, to dispose of dirty liquids, including cooking oil, down the floor trap. But this is a huge no-no! Grease and/ or solid matter from the liquids may choke the floor trap, which in turn will cause an overflow of water. Now that would be a real messy situation for a minute of convenience.
2. Always close the floor grating
Keep the floor grating closed to prevent particles, such as hair and other solid materials, from choking the floor trap.
If you wish to remove the foreign particles that are causing the choke, try using a drain snake or plunger. But if you need professional help, call a plumber in this case. Do make sure he's a licensed contractor!
3. Seal up the floor trap when not in use for extended period
If you are going on a long holiday, remember to seal your floor trap covers temporarily. Sealing your floor traps will prevent them from being trapped with foreign particles, and it will also help to eliminate potential foul smell. You would not want to return to a stinking home after your trip!
4. Clean the bathroom and kitchen regularly
A clean and sparkling home is a happy home for all. To keep your bathroom and kitchen in tip-top condition, clean them daily with diluted household bleach: 1 tablespoon of bleach mixed with about 6 cups of water. For those who are up for an organic 'cleanse', you can also DIY your own bio enzyme cleaner from kitchen waste.

GLASVEGAS will finally escape their self-imposed lockdown and play three shows in April to try out the new songs that have them so excited.
The band have been shut away in their Glasgow studio for almost three months, writing and recording their third album.
While there is still a way to go, guitarist Rab Allan believes there is something special about this record - and wants to play it live to find out.
He said: "We have been locked in the studio. I don't think we have left here for about three weeks.
"We just want to get out of here and play again. We have all missed playing more than anything else.
"It was the same before we toured the second album. You forget how much you miss it.
"Confidence is high and we're feeling good. We know we have a few good songs ready.
"Once James writes two or three more, we are looking at a special album."
Rab was reluctant to reveal too many details but admitted one song in particular might just be the best his cousin James, below, has written.
He said: "There is one song I think is better than Daddy's Gone.
"I have let some people hear it, like my girlfriend's dad, who is a real man's man - and he started crying."
The band have their own ideas about when they want to have the album ready for release but, with plenty of record label interest, a 2012 release seems a certainty.
"We have certain deadlines in our head. It's going well so far though.
"James has probably 25 or 30 ideas.
We are just working through them and learning to play them live.
"James used to do it all on his own but we are now recording as a band.
"It's nice doing it all ourselves."
The band say they may give fans a preview of the new sound on YouTube and Facebook before the gigs, which see them play London's Garage on April 3, Liverpool's Academy on April 4 and the Classic Grand, Glasgow, on April 5.

Florida's new coach will be an old friend.
Dan Mullen has signed a deal to the 27th coach of the Florida Gators. UF athletic director Scott Stricklin imported Mullen from Mississippi State, where he worked with him since he had a hand in his hiring in December of 2008 and was his direct boss since 2010.
Mullen is expected to make $7 million a year, plus bonuses should he reach certain benchmarks like winning the SEC, reaching the CFP and winning the national championship. Part of his deal is expected to include a large budget for him to hire assistants.
Florida's pursuit began with former Oregon coach Chip Kelly, and actually had agreed to a deal with him. But Kelly backed out and went to UCLA. Florida then redirected and met with representatives of Central Florida coach Scott Frost, but that fell through as well. So the search then zeroed in on Mullen, the Gators' offensive coordinator from 2005-08 under then-coach Urban Meyer.
Though perhaps not the grand slam home run that Chip Kelly would have been, Mullen checks off more boxes than anyone else in this coaching cycle. His four years at Florida and nine more at Mississippi State mean he's more than familiar with the workings of the SEC. Those aforementioned four years at Florida- during which he coached Tim Tebow to a pair of national championships and a Heisman Trophy- mean he's more than familiar with the particular school in the SEC that he's now set to coach. And they also mean he's familiar with recruiting the state of Florida.
On top of that, Mullen is an offensive guru, having been handed the keys to Urban Meyer's offense and wrung a Heisman winner and two national championships out of it in four years. He proved at Mississippi State that he could win even without the likes of Tebow, winning more than the MSU fan base could have ever dreamed of with Chris Relf, Dak Prescott and Nick Fitzgerald at the controls. His development of those three guys at a lower tier school is more than enough evidence that he can have success at a top tier school like Florida.
I believe the best way to describe Mullen is as a blue chip stock. He's not the biggest fish in the sea, but with the help of a school like Florida he could someday be. The ceiling of Mullen may not be quite as sky-high as somebody like Scott Frost, but the floor is much, much higher. This is the ultimate safe pick, the Apple or Google of stocks. Not much of a risk, and there's a low range of probability- say, 80-90%- that he'll be successful. It's not the sexiest hire, but he should perform.
And after the colossal flops from Jeremy Foley in hiring Will Muschamp and Jim McElwain, that's just the tonic the doctor ordered for this sick and depleted program.
Welcome, coach.

ABSTRACT Abad, CCC, Prado, ML, Ugrinowitsch, C, Tricoli, V, and Barroso, R. Combination of general and specific warm-ups improves leg-press one repetition maximum compared with specific warm-up in trained individuals. J Strength Cond Res 25(8): 2242–2245, 2011—Accurate assessment of muscular strength is critical for exercise prescription and functional evaluation. The warm-up protocol may affect the precision of the 1 repetition maximum (1RM) test. Testing guidelines recommend performing both general and specific warm-ups before strength tests. The general warm-up intends to raise muscle temperature, whereas the specific warm-up aims to increase neuromuscular activation. Although there is scientific evidence for performing the specific warm-up, the effects of general warm-up on strength tests are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the combination of a general with a specific warm-up (G + SWU) protocol would improve leg press 1RM values compared with a specific warm-up (SWU) protocol. Thirteen participants were tested for leg-press 1RM under 2 warm-up conditions. In the first condition, participants performed the SWU only, which was composed of 1 set of 8 repetitions at approximately 50% of the estimated 1RM followed by another set of 3 repetitions at 70% of the estimated 1RM. In the second condition (G + SWU), participants performed the 1RM test after a 20-minute general warm-up on a stationary bicycle at 60% of HRmax and the same specific warm-up as in the SWU. Values of 1RM in SWU and in G + SWU were compared by a paired t-test, and significance level was set at p < 0.05. Strength values were on average 8.4% (p = 0.002) higher in the G + SWU compared with the SWU. These results suggest that the G + SWU induced temperature-dependent neuromuscular adjustments that in-creased muscle force production capacity. Therefore, these results support the recommendations of the testing guidelines to perform a moderate intensity general warm-up in addition to the specific warm-up before maximum strength assessments.Syftet var alltså att undersöka huruvida en generell uppvärmning i kombination med en grenspecifik uppvärmning ökar 1RM i benpress mer än enbart en grenspecifik uppvärmning. Den generella uppvärmningen bestod av 20 minuters cykling på en intensitet av 60% av maxpulsen.
ABSTRACT Barroso, R, Silva-Batista, C, Tricoli, V, Roschel, H, and Ugri-nowitsch, C. The effects of different intensities and durations of the general warm-up on leg press 1RM. J Strength Cond Res 27(4): 1009–1013, 2013—The precision of maximum strength assessments (1 repetition maximum; 1RM) is important to eval-uate the functional capacity and to prescribe and monitor the training load. Several factors can affect the precision of 1RM tests, including the warm-up procedure. General and specific warm-up routines are recommended to enhance performance. The effects of a specific warm-up have already been acknowledged in improving performance. However, the effects of a gen-eral warm-up (GWU) are unclear but seem to depend on its ability to increase muscle temperature while avoiding fatigue. Furthermore, temperature elevation is dependent on both the duration and the intensity of the activity, which may eventually affect 1RM performance. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different intensities and durations of GWU on 1RM performance. Sixteen strength-trained men were tested for 1RM leg press after 4 GWU conditions after specific warm-up: short duration and low intensity (SDLI; i.e., 5 minutes at 40% VO2max), long duration and low intensity (LDLI; i.e., 15 minutes at 40% VO2max), short duration and moderate intensity (SDMI; i.e., 5 minutes at 70% VO2max), long duration and moderate intensity (LDMI; i.e., 15 minutes at 70% VO2max), and the control (CTRL) no-GWU condition. Leg press 1RM values were higher (on average 3%) when subjects performed LDLI (367.8 ± 70.1 kg; p = 0.01), compared with the other 4 conditions. After the LDMI condition, 1RM values were lower (on average -4%) than in the other 4 conditions (345.6 ± 70.5 kg; p = 0.01). There were no differences between SDMI, SDLI, and CTRL (359.4 ± 69.2 kg, 359.1 ± 69.3 kg, and 359.4 ± 70.4 kg, respectively; p = 0.99). According to our results, long-duration low-intensity general warm-up seems be appropriately to improve 1RM performance in strength-trained individuals.
ABSTRACT Effect of different warm-up procedures on the performance of resistance training exercises. Ribeiro AS1, Romanzini M, Schoenfeld BJ, Souza MF, Avelar A, Cyrino ES.Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka hur olika uppvärmningar påverkar prestationsförmågan under ett styrketräningspass med övningarna bänkpress, knäböj och skivstångscurl. Övningarna utfördes till failure i fyra set på 80% av 1RM och skulle genomföras i nämnd ordning. Uppvärmningarna som jämfördes var:
Warm-up has been shown to mediate numerous acute physiological alterations that have been purported to confer beneficial effects on performance. This study investigated the acute effects of different warm-up procedures on resistance training performance. Employing a randomized, counterbalanced crossover design, 15 men performed 3 exercises (4 sets of bench press, squat, and arm curl at 80% of 1RM) to failure in 4 conditions (control, specific, aerobic, and combined). Outcome measures included the sum of repetitions and a fatigue index measuring the decline between sets. There was no significant difference for the sum of repetitions or for fatigue index among conditions for the 3 exercises. Performance in the resistance training exercises was not influenced by warm-up.

VERNON, CALIFORNIA – February 16, 2015 – AmeriPride Services, a leading textile rental services and supply company in North America, today announced plans to replace 20 percent of the fleet at its Vernon branch with electric delivery trucks equipped with a Motiv Power Systems All-Electric Powertrain. Motiv delivered the first of ten zero-emission step vans last month as a part of AmeriPride's continuing mission to reduce its carbon footprint and be the industry leader in environmental sustainability.
AmeriPride is committed to the environment and the communities where we live and work," said Bill Evans, President and CEO of AmeriPride. "As one of the biggest operators in our industry, we are setting the standard for clean operations and continue to make improvements to our delivery operations and invest resources to test and help advance new green technologies. "
The company's new delivery vehicles feature up to 20 percent gradability, 80 miles of range and a 50 percent battery charge within 2.5 hours. Installed by Morgan Olson on a Ford F59 Chassis, the walk-in step vans are the first Motiv-powered vehicles installed on a previously-used body.
"The F59 chassis from Ford is incredibly versatile and we're excited to demonstrate an all-electric option with these AmeriPride trucks," said Jim Castelaz, founder and CEO of Motiv Power Systems. "It provides a good example to the regional delivery services community that there are real things a company can do to improve regional air quality and reduce fuel costs."
In addition to the F59 chassis, Motiv has upfit packages available for the Ford E450 and Crane Carrier COE2 Class 8 chassis. Configurations include all the components required to transform a chassis to zero-emission all-electric drive and are professionally installed to OEM standards at the time of the vehicle's manufacture.
AmeriPride chose the Vernon market for this pilot based on route density and infrastructure, financial incentives and the region's poor air quality. The purchase of the ten all-electric walk-in vans was made possible through a grant from the California Energy Commission and area business leaders and government officials have been invited to an open house at AmeriPride's Vernon location on February 18th to observe the new vehicle up close or even take a ride.
"We are extremely excited to pilot the new electric delivery trucks at our facility," said Annette Casemero, GM of the Vernon branch. "Our first truck has been running daily routes since it was delivered in November and has been running great, with zero service incidents or calls needed. Adding electric vehicles to our fleet complements our expanding alternative fuel program and we look forward to adding additional electric vehicles to our fleet in the coming year."
Other initiatives the company is implementing at Vernon and other branches include propane, compressed natural gas and hybrid vehicles; trailer skirting and double-decker semi trailers; fuel efficient sedans for the service team and the installation of telematics technology and route optimization software to reduce mileage and increase efficiency. More details on AmeriPride's efforts can be found in the company's Corporate Responsibility Report that outlines many key initiatives it is sponsoring across the company.
AmeriPride has received recognition for its sustainability efforts, including TRSA's 'Clean Green' Award, Heavy Duty Trucking's 'Top 50 Green Fleets' Award, Fleet Technology Expo's 'Top Tier Light and Medium Duty Efficient Fleet' Award, and 'Sacramento Sustainable Business of the Year' for Transportation and Air Quality by the Business and Environmental Resource Center (BERC), as well as recognition from Sacramento Area Sustainable Business, the City and County of Sacramento, the California State Senate and the US Congress. In addition, the Vernon facility received recognition from L.A. County for full compliance with wastewater discharge requirements and zero violations, and has remained in full compliance for more than five consecutive years.
The Motiv All-Electric Powertrain was named one of Popular Science's Best of What's New technologies and has been successfully used in school buses, shuttle buses, delivery trucks, maintenance trucks and North America's only all-electric refuse truck in the City of Chicago.
About Motiv Power Systems
Founded in 2009 and based in Foster City, CA, Motiv Power Systems designs and builds flexible and scalable All-Electric Powertrains for commercial medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses. Motiv partners with existing truck builders who manufacture electric versions of their traditional fossil-fueled vehicles on their current assembly lines using the Motiv All-Electric Powertrain. Common vehicle types from these builders include work, delivery and refuse trucks, as well as school and shuttle buses. The Motiv All-Electric Powertrain is installed at the time of vehicle manufacture, similar to a natural gas or propane upfit.

It was a great turn out on Tuesday night- despite the wet weather and the Census Epic Fail. About 150 guests turned up to greet Saving Jazz as she enters the world!
My thanks to Catherine Kolomyjec and her team at Sacred Heart for all their work. Peter Bothe ( and Trevor Lynch) for so graciously allowing Sacred Heart to host it. Justin Whitt for an amazing job as the official launcher. Bianca, Zoe, Anthony for their contributions on the night. All of my students who had an input and interest in the development of the novel. Fremantle Press, in particular Cate – for her ongoing support and Naama for her meticulous editing and appreciation of who Jazz is.
And Jasmine Lovely is officially here…
Justin Whitt
Kris Williams and Norman Jorgensen
The book launch is nearly upon us and the reviews are starting to come out… so far, so good…
Writing WA: Love to Read Local
In Saving Jazz, the lives of Jasmine Lovely and her friends are destroyed after a sexual assault at a party goes viral. The narrative takes us beyond the immediate aftermath of the assault and shows its long-term consequences, as well as the complicated moral landscape Jazz finds herself traversing. The novel deals with gender relations, the power of the internet, and personal responsibility in a comprehensive and compelling way; this is a book that will keep you up all night and keep you thinking for weeks afterwards. Saving Jazz is McCaffrey's most powerful book yet, and it deserves to be widely read and discussed.
Here it is, my latest novel, and to date, my favourite yet. The novel is written as a blog, from the point of view of Jasmine…
Post 1: In the beginning
My name is Jasmine Lovely, Jazz usually (unlessI'm in trouble), and I'm a rapist. In fact, I'm guilty
of more than just rape but, as my lawyer says, in the interests of judicial fairness, we can't be prejudicial. It's hard enough to admit to rape. As a girl, it's exceptionally hard. People look at you blankly. Not that it's something I admit to in company, like I just did to you. I don't normally preface my introductions with that abrupt statement, and I'm not part of a self-help group, where you hold your hand up, state your name, then your addiction, affliction, crime.
But this is the truth. I'm sixteen now, but twelve months ago that is what I did, I raped a girl. Her name was Annie Townshend. I could sound all David Copperfield and say, 'To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday,' but I'm not recording this as an act of prosperity. In fact, I'm really just creating this blog to address everything. This platform is where things began, so I guess this is where I set the record straight.
The novel is Jazz looking back on an event that went viral, one that shaped her existence…
This is what Fragments of Life had to say about it…
Jazzmine was a flawed and lovable character. At the beginning of her blog posts, I was able to see a Jazzmine who was determined to fit in well with her peers, at her school and in her community. She tried to be as pleasing as she could be, with her pretty face, her pleasing personality and her high grades. She ran with the popular crowd. She partied hard like the rest of the Greenheads. However, unlike her meaner friends, Jazz actually had a heart. She was really bothered by the way boys viewed girls, like they were objects. She was also bothered by the slut-shaming going on in her school, as manifested in social media platforms Facebook and Snapchat.
Jazzmine's involvement in the Greenhead party, the night that changed everything, would be an integral albeit painful part of her life. I liked her growth and transformation throughout the book. After the whole thing blew up, Jazzmine's parents kept her isolated in their home. Jazz felt the distance between her and her parents, as if they couldn't quite look at her. She also lost her two closest friends, Annie, the victim, and Jack, her longtime best friend. She felt alone in all of the chaos and the roller coaster of emotions. I liked how Jazz took the long but difficult road after the incident. She tried to fix her life and get back on track, even if the road itself was already crumbling to dust. Through it all, she has matured and could then look at the world from a different perspective.
I liked how friendship was discussed and dissected in Saving Jazz, especially between Jazz and Jack and between Jazz and Annie. Jazz and Jack have been friends for years, since the first day of Jazzmine at her new school. Jack has been with her through the good times and the bad times. He held her hand during her first period. He defended her when someone picked on her. Jack was a constant in her life, always there by her side. As Jack and Jazz grew up, things started to change. I really loved how the author dissected Jazz and Jack's friendship through all the things they have been through.
Frank was one of the reasons why I liked this book so much. He was a cheerful, charming and handsome barista. He was the love interest. Although he was just found in small scenes, I found his presence in the book to be overwhelmingly inspiring. He worked at Chicco, the best coffee shop in the area. As a coffee lover myself, who has spent hours and hours in cafes, I enjoyed the sections with Frank and Jazz in the coffee shop. It was a breather from all the heavy emotional, guilt-stricken plot. The author balanced out the good and the bad with enough charm and humor.
In the end, I gave Saving Jazz 4.5 cupids because I was beginning to forget some of the small details of the book a few days after reading the novel. Saving Jazz is a gritty, suspenseful contemporary that delves into the side of humanity that is linked and almost always submerged in the waters of social media. Although I knew what was supposed to happen, as Jazzmine took us back to the past with her blog posts, the author managed to keep me sitting at the edge of my seat, with goosebumps on my arms and my heart accelerating. It was a quick read that had me immersed and lost into Jazzmine's world. The writing was hypnotic and the plot was fluid. There was never a dull moment. I felt like I was riding an almost never ending roller coaster of emotions, zooming through the feeling of being betrayed, guilt, love, loss and the sense of being broken. I highly recommend it to readers of contemporary (particularly Australian contemporary), readers who are looking for pop culture references and a more modern take on realistic stories, and readers who are looking for books that tackle relationships.
It's time for me to tend to this rather neglected blogsite and dust away the cobwebs and up date the latest happenings. Where to begin?
Saw out the end of '08 down south in the most magnificient part of WA the Margaret River Region. It is a debauched writer's heaven what with winery after winery! And also one of the longest water ski areas in the West too. I did plenty of skiing and also tried to master the wakeboard too! But though the holiday home I have presents as a writer's haven up until the 11th of January no writing was done!
Panicking– I promised my publisher the latest book in January, I had no choice but to push through the writer's block and turn those 28 000 words into a 56 000 word manuscript! Is it good? Time will tell- but for now it's a draft- albeit a rather rough one. Which is good because on the 27th I returned to teaching– taking on a much bigger load than ever before!
So– I'm hoping that '09 will see me juggling all those balls very nicely! Teaching, writing/editing and being a contributing member of society– did I forget family? My eldest daughter has sailed into Year 8 and my youngest into Year 3– so there's another ball to throw up into the mix!
This week has been inundated with radio interviews on 'sexting'– most ABC stations have asked me to talk about this phenomenon as well as the cyber bullying one too!
Upcoming Appearances
On March 3rd I appear at the Centre for Youth Literature in Melbourne with the likes of John Marsden– my 12 year old daughter is coming to, excited to meet a 'real' Australian writer!
On March 5th I'll be at WA's Night of Stars– with my great friends at Westbooks!
From March14th – 21st I will be soaking up the sunny rays of Queensland at the Somerset Festival for Literature– attending both the Librarian and Writer's components of their festival. And then after that there are more appearances on the cards.
Oh– and here is the 'book trailer' for the American release of in ecstasy— I thought it was pretty cool. Tell me what you think. Now if only the North Americans like it– there could be an overseas tour in the pipeline!

The Melbourne Sydney jaunt was excellent fun! In particular the Penguin teacher evening- where I got to meet a lot of teachers and librarians who use Destroying Avalon in schools and who were interested in the new book in ecstasy; also the Classnet interview and the segment for Channel 31- where I was interviewed by some great kids; the Radio National interview with Richard Aedy was a lot of laughs and then I flew back to Melbourne to speak to Michael Carr-Gregg's cyber-psychologists- they were a terrific bunch!
The second week (of the school holidays) was spent down south holidaying with friends (read- drinking, eating, water-skiing and singstar!!) We returned back to Perth only to start the new school term the next day!! I feel like a need a holiday!
So what's coming up then…. This Thursday I'm participating in the launch of the MS Readathon at St Stephen's School Carramar. Following that I'm back in Sydney on the 19th and 20th of May for a presentation at the Children's Bookshop in Beecroft and then a few school visits. When I return to Perth on the 21st May, that evening, I have the Rosalie Writer's Festival where I'm presenting to parents Destroying Avalon.
Did I say I need to get to work on the third book? Oh, that old thing… yeah… right I might be able to write again! Soon- I promise!
I am so sorry. I am really terrible at this job! Call me commitment-phobic- I knew when I emabarked upon being a blogger I'd never hold a candle to those true devout bloggers- Matilda and Justine Larabalestier come to mind immediately. It's official! I am crap at this!
So I'll bring you up to date on the latest in this world- cause if you're reading this, then you're prolly interested! Friday night (4th April 2008) saw the launch of my new book 'in ecstasy'. A grand time was had by all- except me, who basically sat at table and signed over 80 copies of aforementioned book. All my friends had turned up, as well as industry and teaching/librarian type people. But could I enjoy their company? No! I had to sit at the table and relish in my JK Rowlings moment. Ahh- but to have just one in a lifetime is a pleasure indeed!
The launch was a success. With engaging words from Dr Bill Saunders who was a real treat to have on the night! And my deepest gratitude to Joscelyn Leatt-Hyatt and her husband Geoff (or Greg, or Andrew- jokes!!)
Saturday the 12th I fly to Melbourne to promote 'in ecstasy' on radio, in print and hopefully on TV, I'm also doing some State library gigs and other PD stuff for teachers. Then I fly to Sydney- for more of the same and back to Melbourne to workshop with the much admired Dr Michael Carr-Gregg- Australia's Dr Phil!
Then, later in May (19th) I'm back in Sydney workshopping 'Destroying Avalon' and 'in ecstasy' to a lirariarian workshop!~ It's mad I tell you!
Someday I'll get back to writing. Someday- soon- I promise Cate (she's my publisher!!)
I have an advance copy of in ecstasy and like all proud parents I think it is the most beautiful book in the world! That's not to say I love it more than Destroying Avalon– just differently!! It has turned out really well- and the cover (thanks Tracey) is receiving lots of compliments. Like I say 'I always judge a book by its cover!! It's reminiscent of The Collector (an old favourite), smacks of Silence of the Lambs and has been compared to A Cage of Butterflies and Papillion– all great comparisons to my mind.
Review copies have been sent out and the feedback has, so far, been encouraging. Which is very reassuring when facing 'second book syndrome'!!! April is the launch date- and there are plenty of things happening around that time!
I have been invited back to the All Saints' Literature Festival in Bullcreek WA, where I will discuss Destroying Avalon and in ecstasy, and writing for young adults, yada yada yada…. Those dates are 2nd April- 4th April 2008. I've also been invited to be part of a panel on the evening of the 3rd April, organised by the ETA and Kris Williams (co-ordinator of the All Saints Festival) to discuss writing for the classroom and the influences of school etc… its a PD with teachers as the target audience (more on that when details come to hand).
My publisher (with Penguin Books) is hoping to put together an east coast tour, (Melbourne and Sydney) to coincide with the release of in ecstasy– but more about that when details are confirmed!
The MS Readathon is booked in for the 1st May- I've agreed to read a passage from my books to a school (not sure which one yet) as part of its launch.
And later in May there is the Rosalie Writer's Festival- I've agreed to attend a parent workship to discuss both Destroying Avalon and in ecstasty.
This is only the beginning- let's get the party started!
For those of you interested in teaching Destroying Avalon and have not found anything useful in my teaching package I'd like to direct you to Penguin's Puffin Website:
Click on Teachers- then go to Teachers' Notes
Then go to Units for the Secondary Classroom, pull down the menu and click on Destroying Avalon.
That's the link (kinda long and scary looking isn't it!!) But what you will end up with is a different angle for teaching Destroying Avalon. This focuses more on the text as a tool for combating bullying than as a 'literary analysis' of text- so I guess it depends on your aim.
But there you go two to choose from!
Teaching packages galore!
What could be better????
Annie Thomson the producer of the ABC's Street Stories radio documentary into cyber bullying We Are Watching You just won a bronze world medal at the New York Festival Awards.
As the medal implies- it is a world wide award and in my opinion much deserved. Personally I think she should have received the gold- but hey, bronze is very impressive too!
To listen to her recording I hope the hyper link at the top of my blog still works. Otherwise visit ABC radio's website for details. In the production Annie interviews an author of a fiction novel about cyber bullying (okay- yes it's me), a teacher (not me), a parent of a victim, a victim and 2 bullies- caught by their school! It is a fantastic resource- for anyone teaching cyber bullying, for parent forums and general awareness into the issue.

The Sedona Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau Budget, Explained
By President & CEO Jennifer Wesselhoff
With Council approval of a $2.17 million Tourism Bureau budget, people are curious about how the Chamber & Visitor's Bureau budget works. I'm happy to explain!
Visitors, Not Sedona Residents, pay for the Tourism Budget
The Tourism Bureau is a division of the Chamber of Commerce. Its budget comes from the City bed tax, which is paid by guests staying at lodging facilities in the city.
• As a Sedona resident, you do NOT pay this tax unless you stay at a hotel within the city limits.
• The bed tax – and the Tourism Bureau budget – is designed to be paid by Sedona's visitors, not residents.
• The Tourism Bureau receives 55 percent of the bed tax.
• Forty-five percent goes to the City's General Fund, helping pay for services such as law enforcement and keeping our taxes lower.
Member Businesses, Not Sedona Residents, pay for the Chamber of Commerce budget
The Chamber of Commerce function is funded entirely by fees paid by local businesses and organizations that belong to the Chamber.
There is no tax money involved in the Chamber functions, and Chamber employees are not public employees.
As you can see, the Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau are two distinct functions with different funding sources, neither of which are paid for by a tax on Sedona residents.
Chamber & Tourism Bureau Manages Tourism at the Direction of Many
The Chamber is the official Destination Management & Marketing Organization for the Sedona area, accredited through Destinations International. Destination Marketing Organizations are typically funded through bed taxes.
• Since the Sedona Chamber began more than 65 years ago, we have managed Sedona's tourism, attracting visitors during off-peak seasons and mid week.
• We get input from businesses, organizations, affinity groups, non-profits, land managers and residents as we develop our Destination Services Plan each year
• The City Council reviews and approves the final tourism budget as well as the annual Destination Services and Marketing Plan.
This Year, the Tourism Bureau Declined a Budget increase
• Due to a rise in bed tax revenue, the Tourism Bureau's FY19 allocation was scheduled to increase by $268,900.
• We agreed to use this increase to help pay for Sedona in Motion transportation improvements instead of additional tourism programs.
The Budget Reflects New Priorities of Preservation, Quality of Life, Stewardship
For the last three years, priorities have shifted as the community addresses traffic and other challenges to our quality of life.
• Like many Sedonans, we recognize a need to preserve Sedona's unique character while keeping the economy stable.
• This year's budget features reinvestment and sustainable approaches that prioritize our priceless natural and cultural heritage.
• Working together, we will create a Sedona offering residents and visitors alike better-managed traffic, a well-preserved environment, and a more memorable experience.
These charts offer a breakdown of the FY19 Tourism Bureau budget. You can read the complete budget memo here.
You can learn more about how our budget works by joining Chamber Board members and me for an open 'Coffee Chat' Monday morning at 9 a.m. at our Chamber Administrative Office, 45 Sunset Drive, beginning July 9. And be sure to opt-in to our Tuesday morning Local e-News!

lol you never met men in denial? How about the whole internet tough guy thing? Or guys believing they're in shape and they go climbing on ladders, shoveling snow, getting out of their chairs, and dropping dead from sudden heart attacks?"
lol please
They don't have to. They can hide behind the "men are stupid" privilege.
It's their life and nobody assigned me their daddy dom "do this stuff my way" person and tbh, let 'em. What's freedom about anyway?
I don't think so. Jazz isn't the only out there. Most don't have TV shows or extensive support networks. I know personally a friend doing well with support. I hear others stories that are having an awful time of it.
For olders, knew a friend of the family (my mom grew up with her when she was he) and only came out in her mid 60s. Ended getting surgery – now in her 70s and was happy ever since.
Gender dysphoria is a crappy condition to have. I wouldn't want it. They don't either but luckily there's at least SOMEthing they can do now.

Saling menghormati itu lebih terpuji

The Big Three incumbent wireless providers are cashing in by muscling out new entrants with prohibitively high rates to use their infrastructure, the Competition Bureau charged Monday.
Patrick Hughes, senior economist with the independent enforcement agency, said the outsized returns the incumbent carriers are making from their wireless divisions are evidence that the market is distorted. If new entrants that rely on the incumbents' towers and networks have to pay exorbitant costs to use that infrastructure, that cost will get passed on to consumers, he said.
"We ask why the incumbents are doing this. What's the incentive? The incentive to us are the margins in the retail market," Mr. Hughes said. "This… is not in the public interest."
The Competition Bureau was the first to present at a week-long hearing in Gatineau, Que., examining whether the wireless wholesale market is sufficiently competitive. If the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission decides it is not, it will consider whether it should step in with regulations.
CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais challenged the Competition Bureau to back up its assertion the incumbents are behaving anti-competitively. "You really present no evidence of such behaviour," he said.
The incumbent wireless providers – Rogers Communications Inc., BCE Inc. and Telus Corp. – have spent billions of dollars to build infrastructure to deliver wireless services across the country. The CRTC does not currently regulate wholesale wireless rates, but the government issued an interim rule last spring that caps the amount carriers can charge competitors for access to their networks at the average rate they charge their own retail customers.
Upstart carriers argue that if the commission regulated the rates the incumbent carriers can charge them to roam on their networks and share their towers, more wireless providers could compete and consumers would be better off. In particular, Quebecor Inc. has said wholesale roaming rates, or what one carrier charges another to use its network, are a key issue that the company will take into consideration before deciding whether to invest the money to become a fourth national wireless carrier.
In his opening remarks, CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais said the commission has not yet made up its mind about whether or not the wireless wholesale market is sufficiently competitive, let alone about what regulations would best remedy the situation if it is not.
"We have not come to any predetermined views," Mr. Blais said. "Competition in the wireless industry benefits Canadian society in many ways, including by providing access to high-quality networks, innovative services and reasonable prices."
Cogeco Cable Inc, Globalive Wireless Management Corp. (operating as Wind), and Data & Audio-Visual Enterprises Wireless Inc. (operating as Mobilicity) are also scheduled to present Monday.

heroes whose actions embody ethical knowledge. Many of the stories
can be called "epic" -- literature set in an heroic

among them, a social organization with a dominant military class,
honor and prestige as primary values, the near equal importance
of words and deeds in defending those values, and, most importantly,
a distributed system of ethics, in which members of different

Landing pages are key to capturing leads online - and important data about your leads. They were created to attract traffic and convert traffic in specific ways. However, some landing pages become bloated when incorporate all of the techniques and tactics recommended. So, what are the absolute must-have elements when it comes to landing pages? Here are several things that no self-respecting landing page would be caught trolling the Internet without.
1. Follow That Attractive Headline With a Persuasive Subhead
You hear a lot about attention-grabbing headlines, and no doubt, that is important. What you hear less about is how a persuasive subhead pulls the reader into the page once the headline has grabbed them and shaken them up a bit. Today's readers are used to shock and awe, give them a tug to solidify their full attention.
2. Present a Pain Point, Along With a Pain Reliever
Where does it hurt, and how can the offer make it better? In the age of inbound marketing and content marketing, landing pages offer gated, quality content the provides the lead insight into ways to make their life easier. Every landing page should clearly illustrate the pain point and identify exactly how the offer or piece of content will remedy that pain. Make it clear and make it easy. Leads don't convert for subtle and "hidden" information.
3. Design the Lead Form Based on the Offer
Are you tired of arguing with everyone else in the marketing department about what the right length for your forms should be? Stop fighting and develop a form that gives you exactly what you need for this particular campaign.
The common answer is that shorter forms convert at a higher rate. However, a rule-of-thumb is to ask for as much information as you are providing. Meaning, if you are providing a very high-quality research report or free trial to a software service, the lead form can ask a few more questions that the initial name, email and "how did you hear about us?" You are providing something of higher value, so they can provide something they find valuable too - their title, HQ state and use of software.
4. No Distractions!
What's the bottom line here? You want them to fill out the form they landed on, not click around further and waste their time trying to decide. Give them one option so they won't be distracted.

The eldest daughter of United States President Donald Trump as well as his adviser Ivanka Trump is in India to attend the 8th Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) 2017 in Hyderabad.
In her inaugural address, Ivanka specifically mentioned three women entrepreneurs in the audience who represented "the vision, the ambition, the grit of every entrepreneur" of the summit.
"You are saving lives, creating jobs and bringing hope to our communities. You are transforming our societies one business and one customer at a time. You prove to the world that we have the power to rise above the challenges of our day and to pioneer our pathways forward, and to leave our mark on this moment in history," said Ivanka.
One of three entrepreneurs is an Assamese businesswoman named Rajlakshmi Borthakur who is based in Bengaluru. Borthakur is the CEO and founder of TerraBlue XT.
"When her son began having seizures at young age, [Borthakur] decided to create her own solution to better monitor his help. She invented a smart glove that predicts, manages and detects different diseases and disorders using artificial intelligence. Now her company TerraBlue aims to make specialty healthcare accessible even in remote places of India," Ivanka said of Borthakur.
Through TerraBlue XT's telemedicine platform, epileptic patients and their families can avail treatment and counselling via teleconference with prominent neurosurgeons and experts from different parts of the country.
The audience at Hyderabad's International Convention Centre applauded Borthakur when Ivanka asked her to stand.
Ivanka said that despite the soaring rate of female entrepreneurs, women still face steep obstacles to starting, owning, and growing their businesses.
"Rajlakshmi your courage and determination is truly remarkable," applauded Ivanka in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the audience.
I felt great that she (Ivanka Trump) took my name among so many entrepreneurs. I am thankful to her for giving me & my company the publicity: Rajalakshmi Borthakur, entrepreneur #GlobalEntrepreneurshipSummit- IndiaTodayFLASH (@IndiaTodayFLASH) November 28, 2017
Another woman entrepreneur who Ivanka felicitated in her address was Dara Dotz from San Francisco.
"Dara has spent a decade serving under-served communities around the world. She witnessed first-hand that many times people need very simple items - a bucket for carrying water, splint to treat an injury, a part to fix a generator," said Ivanka.
Dara is the co-founder of Field Ready which provide life-saving supplies through 3-D printer and responds to disasters all over the world.
"Through her innovative solutions, Dara is saving lives and bringing hope to thousands of communities," said Ivanka.
Reyhan Camalova is from Azerbaijan, and her name drew the maximum applause during Ivanka's speech.
"You won't believe this, but Reyan is just 15. But that has not stopped her from founding a company that harvests energy from rain water. Reyan has a powerful motto - Light up one house at a time. Reyan, each home you light up is illuminating the world. We are inspired by your brilliance and hard work," said Ivanka.
The eldest daughter of the America's first family was effusive about the attendees of the summit. "In the City of Pearls, the greatest treasure is you - entrepreneurs, innovaters and social workers," she said.

Travis and I do not have TV (we have a TV, we just don't get TV), so it is a rare and special occasion when we get to watch The Food Network at his parent's house. I love cooking shows, and I have to admit, my guilty pleasure is "Cupcake Wars" which starts late on Sunday nights. When we were there a few weeks ago, however, we amused ourselves with watching several episodes of "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives", where the host travels around the country sampling fare from many different local establishments. As we watched the chef of one restaurant prepare a few of his staple favorites, I was drawn in. Not only did he make his own fresh ricotta cheese, he then proceeded to make these amazing looking pancakes. I thought to myself, I can do that. So it promptly went on my menu. Now, I googled the combination and came up with many recipes, but I decided to try tweaking a fairly simple one that I discovered, appropriately enough, on the Food Network website.
Travis and I don't get to cook together very often- that is usually a luxury we enjoy on his day off, cooking breakfast together. So it was a special treat to whip up these scrumptious pancakes with him, laughing, blasting Keith Green music and inhaling delicious aromas of berries, coffee and bacon.
The pancakes were absolutely fantastic! I am not much of a pancake girl myself, but these are not any old pancakes. Although the recipe is very little altered from a traditional pancake mix and water regimen, the minor additions make a major difference. I am certain you could get crazy with making your own pancake mix from scratch (which, incidentally, isn't that difficult), but if you have a giant bag of Krusteaz in your pantry that needs to be used up (like I do), why would you? Anyhow, complicated or no, these beautiful pancakes are a winner in my book. The addition of ricotta cheese to the batter made the cakes light and creamy, almost melting in your mouth. The tang of the beautiful berries (blueberries would work just as well here, if you don't have huckleberries handy) kept it from being overly sweet, and the honey syrup...oh, the honey syrup!
While Travis flipped the flapjacks, I worked on the syrup which was suggested by the Food Network to pour over our pancakes. I was slightly skeptical, and ended up reading the recipe wrong (in my defense, it is written in a confusing way!) and had to make the whole thing over. But the end result was well worth it. Something about the honey perfectly complimented the other flavors. This recipe is definitely a keeper and one that would be just as well suited to a quiet weekend breakfast as a special brunch for company.
Huckleberry-Ricotta Pancakes with Honey Syrup
(printable version)
(printable version)
originally by Giada De Laurentiis of the Food Network
serves about 4
For Pancakes:
1 2/3 cups water
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups pancake mix (Krusteaz recommended)
1 cup ricotta cheese
2/3 cup frozen huckleberries (or blueberries)
For Syrup:
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup honey
In small saucepan, dissolve sugar in 1/3 cup water over medium heat (about 5 min). Stir in honey and keep syrup warm.
Heat griddle to medium heat.
Stir 1 2/3 cups water and vanilla together in large bowl.
Add pancake mix and stir just until moistened but still lumpy.
Stir in ricotta, gently incorporating, but maintaining lumpy batter.
Fold huckleberries in gently.
Grease griddle lightly with butter or oil.
Working in batches, spoon 1/4 cup of batter onto griddle for each pancake.
Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with honey syrup.

SAS, which has been in a pretty dire financial situation, announced that is has secured loans from banks and its government owners after announcing a pretty drastic restructuring plan today. The short version:
- They are looking to sell regional airline Wideroe as well as its ground handling division.
- Corporate staff will take 17% paycuts; cabin staff will take 12% paycuts.
- 6,000 people (out of a staff of 15,000) will lose jobs.
- Changing the terms of their pension payouts.
These moves hope to save about $500 million.
The airline felt significant pain in Europe because of low fare competition. What's concerning, though, is that SAS needs to restructure their business – it would appear that they will simply continue doing what they do now, albeit with lower costs. That's not a recipe for long-term success. That said, it's a legitimate question to ask whether SAS needs to exist at all. Their intra-Europe product is barely differentiated from their low cost competitors, and their long-haul route network doesn't have nearly the reach of other European carriers near the region.
Finnair has positioned itself as an easy connecting point for service to Asia, and they've grown business to that region significantly over the years. Meanwhile, SAS only flies to 4 destinations in Asia.
SAS' CEO has said this restructuring is SAS's last chance – I fear it will be gone soon enough.

Stray Dog Runs Out On To The Field In The Middle Of A Soccer Game
October 10, 2018
Let's face it, all dogs want in life is to get a belly rub at the most inconvenient time. That includes in the middle of a soccer game.
On Sunday a stray dog made its way out on to the field during a match between FC Dila and Torpedo Kutaisi in Gori, Georgia.
The dog was eager for some attention and hung around for a good while. He rolled over for the goalkeeper just to get a belly rub. Check out the video below.
