Round up #274: Americans' fear, hardware sales
The ILMK Round ups are short pieces which may or may not be expanded later.
Hardware sales
There are a lot of sales lately on hardware from Amazon.
Kindle Fire HDX 7″, HDX Display, Wi-Fi, 16 GB – Includes Special Offers (Previous Generation – 3rd) (at AmazonSmile: benefit a non-profit of your choice by shopping*)
$179…$20 off
This the model I use every day…and I like it well enough that I'm not looking to upgrade to this year's models (although I'm hoping to get to review them for you).
In fact, I'm watching the World Series right now on mine, using the free
FOX Sports GO (at AmazonSmile*)
app. It looks great, by the way!
I saw some interesting reviews of the app…some may have been written for an earlier version, since it works fine for my Fire HDX. I also saw someone saying that it would kill cable…nope. I had to sign into our cable provider before it would let me watch.
I can also mirror it to my TV, using my Fire TV.
Right now, there is a sale on a bundle of the Fire HDX and the Fire TV:
Amazon Fire TV & Kindle Fire HDX 7″ Wi-Fi 16GB with Special Offers (at AmazonSmile*)
If you think of the FHDX as $179, that makes the Fire TV $80…$20 off. That's $40 off both!
I like my Fire TV a lot, too…this might be a case of you keeping both (they go together very well, thanks to the mirroring), or giving one or both as gifts at the holidays.
That deal is so good they are limiting it to one to a customer…while it lasts.
Amazon Fire Phone, 32GB (AT&T) (at AmazonSmile*)
which isn't my favorite Amazon device at this point…but it does work as my phone, it's available for as little as…free (with a plan).
Meanwhile, you can get a refurb (refurbished) Kindle Fire HDX 8.9″ with 4G…for as little as $159!
To use the 4G (which is like a cellphone connection…it's another way to connect to the internet, in addition to the wi-fi it can also do), you'll need to pay for a dataplan…but$159 for an 8.9″ device is a really good deal.
This is the model that has an HDMI out, so you can show what's on your tablet on your TV using a cable (if your TV has an HDMI in…most modern TVs will). That's a plus, in just needing a cable. However, some apps will detect the HDMI cable and refuse to play…the Xfinity app used to do that for me.
The refurbs have the same warranty as new ones.
New 10.1″ NOOK tablet
You think 8.9″ is big?
Barnes & Noble and Samsung have just announced a 10.1″ tablet:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK 10.1
It's $299.99 (with a $50 rebate), and comes with $200 of NOOK content (they pick, not surprisingly).
Yep, they are still in the game…
A charter for readers' rights
I have to say, this
strikes me as truly bizarre.
Certainly, it's reasonable to write an article setting out what you think should be the rights of readers…I was expecting something to balance what the authors have recently been saying, and what the publishers and retailers say.
This one just has some very odd points.
Before I do that, let me say…the title actually says "reader's rights", and maybe that's appropriate. Maybe it isn't supposed to be plural, but just this writer's personal pet peeves. 😉
Second, the photo that they have of a Kindle is the original, 2007 model. Perhaps Proctor would be a bit less anti-Kindle if the current models were compared to paper?
Maybe not…
I'll just mention the first complaint: movie tie-in editions. Yep, Proctor doesn't like it that you can buy a copy of a book with pictures of the actors from the movie on the cover.
I think, perhaps, Jason Proctor doesn't realize how much movies affect sales of books, and how much they can turn movie watchers into readers. This strikes me as a kind of literati snobbery…if you aren't a "pure reader", don't be a reader at all.
I'd rather encourage everybody to read…and if a movie is a gateway to reading, great! I suspect it wouldn't have been too hard to find an edition of the book without the movie cover, if you wanted to do that.
You can add your own comments as they build this list at
I might do that, but I'd want to do it in a positive way. Of course, one of mine might be:
1. The right to read any edition of any book, even one with a movie tie-in cover, without having anyone look down on me and try to discourage me from reading 😉
British perspective on USA and book banning
I don't want to suggest that there is only one British perspective on…well, anything. 🙂 Just like there wouldn't be only one American perspective on anything.
However, it does say something when a person from outside your group is stating that they are looking at you in that way…as an outsider.
The Guardian article by Mary O'Hara
The article looks at books being challenged in America (challenged in libraries, school curricula, that sort of thing) for being "anti-capitalist".
I'm not sure that it's a widespread problem, but it happens…remember that this isn't censorship by the government, but individuals and groups requesting that books be withheld from readers.
I think the article reasonably makes its point: I believe that some people don't want people reading books which go against "American values".
I think that attitude is a non-productive one. As I've said many times on the blog before, I want people to be exposed to ideas which are the opposite of mine. I don't want those ideas to slink around freely in the shadows: I want to shine the full light of day on them, and let people see them for what they are.
In the past, industry groups have imposed these sorts of rules on themselves. The old Comics Code Authority included a provision that "…Policemen, judges, government officials, and respected institutions shall never be presented in such a way as to create disrespect for established authority."
In the USA, we've never applied a standard like that to books. Certainly, Huck Finn wouldn't have passed a restriction like that, just to name one.
According to this article, this is being applied to non-fiction in addition to fiction.
People often ask on the Amazon Kindle forums how they can tell which books are "R rated", or something like that.
The answer is simple: none of them.
The movie industry has its own rating system.
The music industry has its own rating system.
The videogame industry has its own rating system.
The book publishing industry does not…and I don't think it is likely to establish one.
However, just because the publishers aren't getting together to label books, that doesn't mean that private groups aren't doing it.
Those groups may also go after schools and libraries.
I'm not quite sure if the article is suggesting that this is an American flaw…that it is something which wouldn't happen in the UK.
We have always had different standards. American movies have tended to be more lenient with violence and stricter with sexual content than European movies (and TV).
The Boris Karloff Frankenstein was given an "H certificate" in England…rating it too horrific for those under 16 years of age (this wasn't universally ((no pun intended)) enforced).
I must say I found it an interesting perspective, and I think you may as well.
What do you think? Are Americans (not the government) more likely to try to block counter-culture material than Britons? The article really focuses on how the block can be against portraying poverty…do we only want our children to read through rose-colored glasses? Does a 10.1 inch tablet interest you…and will the NOOK brand still be around a year from now? Should Amazon bring out a tablet that large? What about an EBR (E-Book Reader) that size? What would you put on a list of "readers' rights"? Feel free to tell me and my readers what you think by commenting on this post.

Cream Of The Crop
Silver-Plated Tableware
Trendy silver-plated tableware from local firms shines in global markets, testifying to Hong Kong's sterling success as a quality supplier
Nothing beats the luxurious appeal of silver-plated items in the tableware market, which ensures their popularity even in tough times. Helping to retain the shine of this long-standing sector, Hong Kong suppliers are continuing to roll out new styles that meet changing demands.
A sterling example is Ocean King Enterprises Co Ltd, which introduces some 20 new styles of silver-plated tableware each year and offers a total of more than 200 designs in this category.
The firm's range includes candleholders, tea sets, serving trays, napkin rings, shakers, relish dishes, jam sets, bowls, bakers and warmers.
"Currently, our most popular products are trays, candleholders and warmers," says Marketing Manager Mango Lam. "Also among our new products is a highly decorative matching range of serving dishes and napkin rings."
Most of the firm's business is its own designs, while about 20% is OEM. "The average price of our products is US$13-15 per piece FOB Hong Kong," advises Mr Lam, adding that Ocean King hopes to maintain buyer interest in 2009 by launching more new items.
"Europe is our biggest market, and other important outlets include Turkey, Singapore and Malaysia," he says, noting that the trend in Europe is for simple, plain designs while buyers in the US and Asia generally favour fancier, more decorative items.
Offering a wide array of products is also a key strategy at Petek Co Ltd, a gifts, tableware and houseware manufacturer that supplies more than 2,000 items in silver-, gold- or pewter-plating.
Silver-plated tableware comprises more than 50% of the company's output, which consists of 80% own-designs and 20% OEM items.
"Tabletop-serving pieces such as cake and salad servers, candelabras and warmers are some of our most popular items," says Managing Director Peter Kwok. "Our best-selling products are three- and five-light candelabras that we offer in 200-300 styles and two ranges - modern contemporary and antique."
Apt adaptations
Petek will concentrate on more basic, plain models for 2009 in response to changes in global markets. "We are adjusting to the current economic climate by offering low- to medium-range products with designs that can be sold year-round rather than for special occasions such as Christmas," Mr Kwok advises.
With its silver-plated collection unit-priced from US$1-20 FOB China, the supplier sells mostly to North America, which accounts for approximately 50% of business. Europe is its other major market.
"Our customers are long-term clients such as importers and famous brands," Mr Kwok imparts.
He believes that silver-plated ware will continue to prove popular with buyers worldwide. "There is always a demand for silver-plated items as they make very attractive tableware and classy gifts and have been popular in the market for a long time," he remarks.
This view is shared by Trempest Ltd, another major industry player. "The silver-plated tableware business is very stable," insists Operations Manager Thomas Lam. "These items always have value in the market as they offer a more elegant look."
The company's product portfolio comprises more than 1,000 silver-plated tableware items. "We offer a full range, from small items to chafing dishes and food warmers, as over the years we have built up a lot of tooling expertise," explains Mr Lam. "Currently, our most popular silver-plated items are serving pieces, napkin rings and champagne flutes."
The flutes are among the manufacturer's latest creations. They come with silver-plated stems and bases, and are usually sold in pairs. "We offer more than 30 champagne flute designs," Mr Lam says.
Some 70% of Trempest's business is its own designs, with the remainder OEM. The enterprise exports worldwide, with Europe and the US its leading markets, followed by the Middle East.
Optimistic outlook
"I believe there will continue to be strong demand for our silver-plated tabletop items as they combine decoration with functionality thanks to elegant designs and quality workmanship," says Mr Lam.
Dainty silver-plated tabletop products are also available from Woo Fung Metal Mfy.
"Cake knives and cake servers are our customers' most popular choices in the silver-plated tableware category, while champagne glasses and napkin rings are also in demand," says Marketing Assistant Jonathan Ng. "Fancy, ornate designs are popular."
Many of the company's items are used as gifts, and as such they can be ordered together with gift box packaging. "The UK is our biggest market for tableware, followed by the US," says Mr Ng, adding that the firm's tableware sells for US$3-7 per piece FOB Hong Kong or China.
Offering a touch of class and elegance at such affordable prices, silver-plated tableware from Hong Kong is likely to continue to dazzle with a polished performance for years to come.

A Hyperbaric Safety Program Is a High-Priority Best Practice
A properly organized and functioning safety program is the core of patient and staff confidence, of reduced injuries, and of reduced liability for the HBO staff and for the hosting hospital. This takes education, training, and time to develop. This is an essential requirement of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 99) and of the UHMS Accreditation program.
Essential Elements of a Safety Program
- CHAMBER CONTENTS CONTROL – An evaluation process for what is allowed or not allowed inside the chamber. A formal list documenting these items and how this decision was made also needs to be kept on file.
- PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE – Preventative maintenance, service and repairs for the chamber and supporting equipment. Records need to be kept of service, repairs, and events relating to this equipment.
- AIR QUALITY MONITORING – Compressed air quality monitoring and analysis need to be documented.
- MEDICAL GAS QUALITY MONITORING – Documentation of medical gas purity levels and annual inspection reports should be kept on file.
- CHAMBER TESTING – Chamber testing and systems testing results need to be documented and kept on file.
- STAFF EDUCATION AND TRAINING – A staff education and training program should include competency validations, practice drills, and continuing education requirements. Documentation of satisfactory performance and timely completion of these requirements should be maintained.
- QUALITY IMPROVEMENT – A quality improvement program should include processes for discussion and analysis of events, development of appropriate filters, and documentation of performance of the process.
- POLICIES AND PROCEDURES STANDARDIZATION – Policies and procedures need to be true to your actual practice. This is not only for safety but also for liability protection.

As you enjoy your holidays, we hope these playing snowmen inspire you to get outside. Granted, snowmen may be a bit less phased by the cold than us warm-blooded humans, but with the right attire and mindset, you too can race down slides, practice handstands, chuck snowballs, climb trees, hang from tree branches, and play sports.
Wishing you very happy holidays and a wonderful New Year -- from all of us at KaBOOM!.

Urbania, Italy
Chiesa dei Morti (Church of the Dead)
Eighteen mummies have stood guard behind the altar of this tiny church since 1833.
Chiesa dei Morti, or the Church of the Dead, is a tiny church - and the main attraction - in Urbania, a lively medieval town located in central Italy.
As soon as visitors enter through the Baroque doorway of the church, they are brought into the chapel, known as the mummy cemetery, a macabre display that has kept people coming back for generations. In the cemetery, eighteen mummies are standing in individual glass cases that have been on display behind the altar since 1833. Naturally mummified by the presence of a special mold that sucked all of the moisture out of the bodies, these individuals are famous both in and outside the community.
A tour guide will be able to tell you how each of the mummies passed away. One, which suffered from Down's syndrome, died of heart failure; another died while in labor; one was murdered.
The Brotherhood of Good Death, a group founded more than 400 years ago in 1567, is responsible for the mummy display. The originals goals of the brothers were to provide free burial for the dead and keep a record of the deaths.

Did you ever finish a jar of pickles and then feel kinda guilty for pouring the leftover pickle juice down your drain? We had the same issue until we went to go make a fresh batch of pickled daikon and realized that instead of taking the trouble to buy and mix together vinegar, sugar and the other ingredients, we could just reuse the pickling liquid left from our favorite jar of dills. Follow our easy DIY instructions to reuse your own pickled radish, garlic or just make another batch of pickles!
– leftover pickle juice in a jar
– veggies you want to pickle (daikon, other radish or garlic work great)
Wash your veggies thoroughly and chop them up.
Pop your chopped up veggies in your leftover pickle juice and allow them to brine for a few days, then enjoy. That's pretty much it!
Note: Typically, pickling entails sterilizing your jars and boiling them to start the pickling process. If you're planning on storing your pickled veggies for a long time, you should definitely follow an actual canning recipe, but if you're going to eat them soon after you make them using the method above, you really don't need to as long as you practice common sense (wash your veggies thoroughly before adding to the brine).

Examples of SLED in Orania
Orania practices permaculture, a science-cum-lifestyle that aims to generate more energy than it consumes, that does not destroy the basis on which it is built, and is self-sufficient in the production of local food needs. This involves a synergistic relationship in which the combined effect of each component supports the whole in such a manner that it exceeds the sum of the individual effects (Strydom 2007a:4). This means that each element in the system must have multiple purposes. For example, a windbreak must also serve as a firebreak, produce food and attract favorable insects. In the permaculture system all aspects are considered and specifically planned for, after careful observation of nature.
An application of permaculture in Orania is the light-weight chicken pens that are placed near a source of food and where the earth needs to be prepared for cultivation. The chicken pens do not have flooring, give sufficient protection against the elements and have nests for eggs and provision for food and water. This approach stems from a holistic view of fouls – a view that considers their behavior, needs and products carefully. The chicken pens are part of the system and contribute to the preparation of the earth where vegetables can be planted. The pens (kiepkoepels) stand at one station for about two weeks. The chickens clear the area of plants, loosen the ground, fertilize it and work organic materials into the soil. While this provides for the needs of the fowls, it also supplies eggs and meat for human consumption (Strydom 2007a:4). Orania also boasts a state-of-the-art dairy, which recycles the water it uses for organic farming. Water used to clean the dairy is taken to reservoirs and later used by farmers to irrigate their crops (Kotze 2003:168).
New hardworking and willing helpers, including fowls, geese, bees, dragon-flies, frogs, wasps, owls and bats are employed in Orania for various purposes. A familiar sight is the bat hotels. The relative placement of bat hotels is important and contributes significantly to control unfavorable insects. For this reason flats for owls are also built to control mice and rats in the area (Strydom 2007a:5).
To fulfill the need for labour, a system of labour banking has been employed. Groups of 10 to 14 workers pool their labour to help each other in Orania. A member who has worked for someone else receives a credit, while the account of the member who received the work is debited. This is not a physical account, but rather a record of what time is owed to other members. The members are usually friends and no supervision is required, because they are all motivated. Members see each other on a regular basis for weekly meetings that rotate. They share in each other's joys or sorrows, which is another example of a synergy that benefits all the members in a group (Strydom 2007a:5).
The ability to dream, think, innovate and plan ahead, based on thorough research and study, is a prerequisite for a pioneering community. This was exactly the route which was followed to obtain an environmentally friendly waste disposal system in Orania. The sustainable recycle bank is an example of this kind of success story: it originated from a dream and hard work over a period of three years (Strydom 2007b:6). The recovery bank not only had a positive effect on the environment, but also created new opportunities for entrepreneurs in Orania. A unique waste dispenser was developed that provides for five different categories of waste, namely metal, glass, plastic, paper and non-renewable products. Wine and cold drink glasses are made from empty bottles by Lorette Naude, an entrepreneur who saw the opportunity to be creative (Strydom 2007b:8). Orania is also close to breaking even in financing the waste disposal cost from the income received for the waste products. In addition, compostable products have to be handled by each household on their property. This confirms that SLED is a long-term solution to development (Newbey 1999:71).
On 9 August 2008 Orania reconfirmed that a responsible and caring community is a living and developing community. Strydom (2008:2) believes that everyone is aware of the debate and problems around global warming. It is not carbon dioxide (CO2) that is the problem, but the fact that humans with their lavish lifestyle are responsible for the levels of CO2. CO2 emissions are threatening our survival and take between 30 and 40 years to be absorbed into the atmosphere. If all carbon emissions had been stopped in 1972, the levels of carbon emissions would by now have been on the decrease. If the whole world was far-sighted and could now switch over from a dirty to a clean economy, global warming will still continue, but the CO2 levels should start to decrease in 2040. The average temperature on earth will still increase by one percent, but only in 2100 (Strydom 2008:2).
Residents are encouraged to produce and consume local products, to use each other's services and to buy locally. The community accepts and thrives on challenges to support itself and to become as self-sufficient as possible (Orania Movement 2004b). The most rational economic activity any community can perform is to satisfy local needs with local resources (De Klerk 2005). For success the community requires as much control as possible over its resources and finances. A local money system can contribute significantly to growing economic independence, plugging the leaks and achieving business retention, attraction and expansion (IRB and NBI 1998:7).
The next section shows that Orania is a community of pioneers and innovators. Community members do not wait for handouts, but work hard to achieve their dreams through their own initiative, labour, planning and financing.

Central law on cow slaughter is in consonance with Constitution: Rakesh Sinha
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi [India] Apr. 10 (ANI): Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat's demand for a nation-wide ban on cow slaughter is in consonance with the Constitution, said RSS ideologue Rakesh Sinha on Monday. Talking to ANI, Sinha said, "Mohan Bhagwat's suggestion for a law to ban cow slaughter across India is in consonance with the Directive Principles of State Policy of the Indian Constitution. Moreover, it is both cultural and civilizational imperative." Demanding that narrow politics should not come in the way of formulation of a central law against cow slaughter, Sinha said Bhagwat's statement also moralises the debate at a higher plank that is cultural, social, national, and civilizational. Sinha said that RSS chief's condemnation of those who indulge in violence "is indicative that there is no moral, legal, or ideological space for people who use violence in the name of cow protection". Bhagwat had condemned the violence in the name of cow protection, but strongly demanded a law to ban cow slaughter across India. Violence in the name of cow protection has often pushed the Centre on the backfoot. Recently, a Muslim, Pehlu Khan, was killed by cow vigilantes in Alwar, Rajasthan. The opposition parties have censured the Modi government and alleged that it has been overlooking violence in the name of protecting cows. The 'violent' cow vigilantism shot into prominence with the death of Mohammad Akhlaq in Dadri, Uttar Pradesh, in September 2015. Akhlaq was lynched to death by a mob, which suspected he had slaughtered a cow. (ANI)

|Jane Bronzing Powder in Give and Real Techniques Contour brush
Happy July, but let me talk about my June Favorites! Let's start with a quick rundown:
1. Jane Cosmetics Bronzing Powder in Give
2. Real Techniques Contour Brush (comes in Core Collection set)
3. Jane Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Olive Branch (shimmer)
4. Smashbox Studio Skin 15 Hour Wear Hydrating Foundation in 2.1 Light Beige
5. JustFab Terryn in Black/White
6. JustFab Newportt in Nude (that's with two t's, Newport is a wedge)
*JustFab Invite link
It's so rare to find a good drugstore bronzer that is TALC-FREE, but Jane Cosmetics offers this in four colors. I picked this up in the shade Give, which is a matte, warm brown that's perfect for summer. It also contains boron nitride, which gives it a smooth feel, and silica for absorbing oil. (UPDATE: I added pics of Jane Dream bronzer below, which I now prefer over Give.)
I love applying this with the Real Techniques Contour brush, my number two favorite of the month, which comes in a set. If you've used Real Techniques brushes before, you'll know the quality is very good; the bristles are super soft and the materials in the handle also meet a high standard. The brush is tapered and small enough to give a nice line in the hollow of your cheek. I really recommend it! I like to hold it at an upward angle so it blends out your contour line nicely.

If the true measure of a band's abilities is how well they play live, you could say it is doubly a measure of their talents how well they can play acoustically in someone's back yard on a muggy July day, with planes flying overhead and bugs threatening to choke them. Prairie Empire rose to that challenge at a recent Backyard Brunch Sessions, where they gave the audience the added bonus of new material recorded after their just-released eponymous debut album. Though weary from closing out their recent tour, lead singer Brittain Ashford and her band (or at least, part of it) were in high spirits and strong form, further honed from their time on the road. Both "Like Birds" and the brand-new "Muir Woods" gave those of us just getting acquainted with the new record even-newer material to delve into, while album tracks like "Give" have never sounded better. For a more electrified take on the band, check out our June 10th recording from Mercury Lounge, but if you are into the acoustic style, it's also worth taking a look at the band's recent Daytrotter session.
hi and lo recorded this set with a combination of Schoeps and MBHO microphones. Other than a few unavoidable blasts of wind and planes flying overhead, the sound is excellent!
Thanks to the BBS sponsors for this show, Grady's Cold Brew and Kings County Distillery Moonshine.

A really useful new feature of Google Analytics is the ability to create Custom Reports. In the "old" days I would find myself consistently choosing different options, filters, etc to get the report just right. With Custom Reports it is very easy to create, save and execute a special report whenever you need it. With local search it is especially important to know where your customers (not just potential customers) are coming from. Assuming you have conversion Goals set up in Google Analytics (if you don't, you need to go do that now and come back) it is very simple to make a Custom Report breaking down your Goal conversions by city/state.
To do this click on 'Custom Reporting' on the left hand side. Then click 'Create Custom Report' on the custom report page. Drag 'Total Goal Completions' from under Goals on the blue menu on the left to the first metric box in the center. Drag 'Region' from under Visitors on the green menu on the left to the Dimension box. Drag 'City' to the first sub-dimension box. You should now have a screen that looks like this one:
Don't forget to give your report a meaningful name before you save. After you save the report, it will be easily accessible on the left hand side of the screen under 'Custom Reporting' no matter where you are in Google Analytics. If you click on a state it will show you Goal conversions by city on the next drill down screen. That's all it takes!
seOverview: Local Edition
If your local business is not ranking well in Google's local 'ten-pack' when someone is searching for the products or services you offer in your area, you may be missing out on hundreds of customers or more each month. Yahoo Local and other local directories are also very important sites on which to have presence. Now you can get custom recommendations about your local search optimization with brick-n-mortar business services help YOUR local businesses achieve maximum presence in the local search results.

Still leaking, USS Texas to close for repairs next week
The USS Texas continued to take water Friday, but officials said the influx has decreased from about 850 gallons per minute to about 100 and repairs may begin as early as Monday.
Ship manager Andy Smith said the ship will remain open to visitors this weekend, but will close Monday as repairs are set to begin. The ship likely will remain closed through next Friday.
The 100-year-old battleship, which participated in both world wars, developed a leak last weekend that quickly flooded bilge areas beneath the engine room. Smith theorized the leak or leaks resulted from rusting of the hull.
The Texas underwent major repairs in 1988, and in 2007, Texas voters approved a $25 million bond issue to dry-berth the ship. State and federal advocates for the battleship recently determined that the sum may not be sufficient for the project.
Smith said Friday that salvage and dive teams will inspect the damaged hull on Saturday and devise a plan for repair.
Dealing with the leak has been complicated by flooding of oil tanks inside the ship.
About 6,500 gallons of oily water were removed from the lower engine room through the use of absorbent mats and skimming; an additional 50,000 gallons were pumped from tanks below the starboard engine. The last phase of the cleanup will entail degreasing and pressure washing those areas, Smith said.
Beginning Monday, oil cleanup will be limited to daytime operations so as not to interfere with salvage and dive teams.
The Texas, awarded the state in 1946 as the nation's first memorial battleship, has been on display at the San Jacinto Battlefield State Historic Site at La Porte since 1948.

AMA Kit Setup Flow
This page describes a sample setup flow for a third party accessory device that implements the AMA Kit.
This page will help you implement the setup flow for your accessory and to understand the setup process that your device users will go through as they pair their AMA-enabled accessory with the Alexa app:
- Instructions for implementing the settings required to initiate the AMA Kit setup flow
- Description of the responsibilities of the OEM companion app
- Overview of the process for setting up an AMA-enabled accessory
- Walkthrough of a sample setup flow that a user goes through when connecting a new AMA-enabled accessory to Alexa, including callouts for the few things that need to be implemented by the device manufacturer.
Initiate the AMA Kit setup flow
To initiate the AMA Kit setup flow, set
needs_setup=true for the accessory. Although the Alexa app stores device information to indicate whether to start the setup flow during the next connection, the accessory itself should store the
needs_setup=true value. Storing this value with the accessory allows the accessory itself to specify whether it needs any portion of the setup flow executed, instead of relying on the Alexa app, which might not have the most current information. The accessory only returns
needs_setup=true if the accessory has never been set up before and thereafter returns
needs_setup=false. In this instance, the app on the phone determines if the accessory needs setup by checking the value of the
needs_setup parameter in
To start a setup flow, the Alexa app should send a message to the accessory to indicate that the app has started setup. The accessory should then respond with a success message. These messages are customizable for your accessory and should be flexible for your implementation. The default behavior is for the app to send a
start_setup message immediately followed by a
complete_setup message.
Responsibilities of the OEM Companion app
As an OEM device manufacturer, you only need to provide a few deep links through your app to help your users set up their AMA-enabled devices:
- Alexa app installation deep link: A deep link launched within your app's setup flow to prompt first-time Alexa users to download and install the Amazon Alexa app from the appropriate app store, if they have not already done so.
Alexa Devices deep link: A deep link to the Alexa Devices screen, which will help users add the new AMA-enabled device to their list of recognized Alexa devices in the Alexa app. Use the following formats to configure your deep links:
- iOS: alexa://?fragment=v2/accessory-settings/gateway
- Android: https://alexa.amazon.com/?fragment=v2/accessory-settings/gateway
Overview of the AMA Kit setup flow.
The AMA Kit requires a third party device to execute a setup flow when a user is setting up a new device for the first time. The setup flow includes the following high-level tasks:
- Download and install the Alexa app (if the user has not already installed it).
- The Alexa app discovers and pairs with the AMA Bluetooth device.
- Complete the Alexa setup.
Step 1: Download and install the Alexa app (if needed)
This process walks through a representative sample set of steps for first-time users of the Alexa app who are setting up their new AMA devices. For this scenario, the user is prompted to download and install the Amazon Alexa app from a deep link within the OEM companion app.
Note that before the Alexa setup process starts, the OEM companion app should complete the following tasks:
- Use Bluetooth to pair the OEM companion app with the AMA device.
- Perform any firmware updates to the AMA device.
Use the following flow to have the OEM companion app prompt the user to download and install the Alexa app:
On their phone, the user opens the companion app provided by the OEM.
The OEM companion app searches for the Alexa app, which for this use case, would not be installed on the user's phone.
The OEM companion app uses a deep link to prompt the user to install the Alexa app from the appropriate app store.
The user installs the Alexa app. When the user opens the Alexa app for the first time, they will be prompted to sign into their Amazon account.
In the OEM companion app, prompt the user to configure the Action button for the AMA-enabled device so that Alexa is set as the voice assistant for that device.
Once the voice assistant is set to Alexa, within the OEM companion app, provide a deep link to the Alexa app Devices screen, as described in Responsibilities of the OEM Companion app
Prompt the user to click the link to the Alexa Devices page to set up the device in the Alexa app.
Step 2: The Alexa app discovers and pairs with the AMA Bluetooth device.
With the Alexa app installed and opened to the Devices page, the user selects a device to set up, and the Alexa app "discovers" the AMA-enabled device.
The device discovery process has the following steps:
The user taps the + sign in the upper-right corner to add a new device:
The Alexa app displays the Add … menu:
The user chooses Add Device.
The Alexa app displays a list of device types:
From the menu of available device types, the user chooses the device type, such as Headphones.
The Alexa App displays a list detected devices:
The user taps the device that they want to set up.
The Alexa app prompts the user to begin setup on their device:
If necessary, the Alexa app prompts the user to grant the app Permissions for Location and/or Microphone.
Step 3: Complete Alexa Setup
This use case describes the process flow for a user who has downloaded the Alexa app and successfully paired their AMA device with the Alexa app.
If the user is new to the Alexa app, the app prompts the user for a few pieces of personal information to complete the configuration.
The Alexa app notifies the user that setup is complete. The user can now start using Alexa with their AMA device.

I've been working on several new projects this weekend. My jewelry making is often a lot of trial and error. A LOT of trial and error.
This weekend's trial and errors are definitely that. I haven't yet mastered what I'm wanting to make, but… they're coming along.
I'm working on making a bird's nest pendant. I wake up every morning to chirping birds and thought… hmmm, I wanna make a bird something. So… I tried…
… a nest. I almost like it. *shrug* Not bad for a first try.
Another thing I've been trying tirelessly to figure out is how to make a Tree of Life Bracelet. This one is vera frustrating…
Tiny tree is tiny. Iz cute. I'm not in love with the bracelet. Not sure if I need smaller lapis beads, or… *shrugs* dunno. It's coming along, but it's not quite there yet.
I did manage to play with some resin, turns out you can use it as glue 😀 I used it to affix an I Ching dragon coin to a jade donut…
I like that one. 🙂
I'm also working on some hoop earrings, cabochon Tree of Life earrings and, and, and… a few other things.
Always so many projects in the works over here.

We hear a lot about bullying, these days. When the subject is brought up many shrug and say, "I survived. It taught me to stand up for myself in a cruel world." Or, "Get over it!" It's not that easy for everyone.
When I was 4 years old, I was the go-getter. I was the kid who convinced the neighbor kids to form a line, walk into my family's apartment, and walk back out, with one toy each to play with. I was the little girl who walked up to store clerks and asked directions when my daddy couldn't find something. Everyone was my friend. We could share a ride together at Disneyland, and I would be convinced we were friends by the end. It didn't matter if you were child or adult. I loved people. I loved being a leader.
Then, school happened. In school I learned a few important things. I figured they were important, because I heard them a lot. I was ugly. I was stupid. I was ugly. Ugly. Ugly. Why is the main statement always about how we look? Ugly. I have pictures of myself from my childhood. I was adorable. But, I couldn't see that. My brain had been programmed by being picked on so much to believe every negative about me.
My clothes were horrible, because they came from KMart. My music was stupid, because it wasn't popular. People threatened to slice my throat, I got four stitches from being hit on the head with a rock, I was spit on, my fundraiser candy bars stolen, and laughed at. I was once told, "Do you ever think of yourself as so ugly that maybe you should kill yourself?"
I tried to ignore it, but it only escalated. Telling teachers made it worse. Why didn't I stand up for myself and just punch someone out? Why? Because, it starts slowly at first. People who start off acting like a friend can turn into a bully and it messes with all reason. After days, months, years of it, I began to think everyone was right. I was ugly. I was stupid. I was weak. If I did fight back, it wouldn't matter. Not to mention, if I did fight back I would get in trouble, too. That is still the most stupid rule ever.
Once I was out of high school I wasn't bullied anymore. Except by one person. Me. I took all those years of bullying and turned it inward. That little girl who used to be a leader? She was gone. I became unsure of everything. When I saw people I used to go to school with, I avoided them. Even those that may have been my friends. I couldn't remember who was friend and who wasn't. I was embarrassed to talk to people, because I felt judged. People took this as shyness. I would burst into tears just trying to figure out what to order on a deli menu, because I was sure I would mess up.
The only good that came out of all of it is this blog. Meaning, I can now relate to what others are going through, because of it. Instead of being proud of survival or thinking kids need to learn to live in a cruel world, wouldn't it be better if kids could learn to be better to each other?
If you're being bullied, know you aren't alone. Beat Bullying has a great program, that I want to see promoted more across Europe and the U.S. If you are a bully and think it's fun or no big deal: just for a moment, think of the worst moment of your life. When were you the saddest? Now, imagine reliving that feeling every single day.
Scars take time to heal. Sometimes, they never go away.
Do you have a topic you want discussed on Being Artemis: Teen? Want to be a guest blogger? Drop a line. Always happy to hear from you.

I was at a center recently, speaking with the teacher about her classroom. In discussing ways to help her with her program, we started talking about the various personalities of the children in her group. "Victor is a little rowdy," she said. "But, I had his older brother, so I know how to handle it." It was an innocent comment, and I didn't bat an eye, but it did give me pause later as I reflected on my day. How often do we make assumptions about children based on our experiences with their older siblings?
Growing up, I was the oldest child. I never had to overcome preconceptions teachers had developed from an older sibling. I don't know if my brother and sister did—the subject hasn't come up—but I can imagine there were some teachers who had certain expectations of them because I had been their student. My brother and sister and I do have similarities. We are resilient, stubborn and hard workers. We also have vast differences. My brother is very analytical. My sister and I are not. My sister is much more adventurous than my brother and I. I am an open book, and my brother and sister are more private.
It's important as child care providers to understand and appreciate the unique and individual characteristics of each child, even within the same family. Sure, there may be some similarities—they are raised in the same house—and it's very possible that the child the teacher was talking about did respond well to the same strategies used with his older brother. But, it may not work that way with every set of siblings in your care.
All of my experience working with siblings has been when they were in my classroom together, so I can't say whether I would have made assumptions or not. I do know that while they were in my care together, I recognized how diverse their personalities were, and many times had to use varying strategies with them when it came to expectations, behavior management and even the activities they enjoyed. I know it can be hard sometimes to put aside what you think you know about a child because of their sibling, but I challenge you to see the child as a fresh face in your program and learn what will work for him or her specifically. It may save you some difficulty in the long run!
Have you had any experience with siblings in your program that were polar opposites, or even that were like carbon copies? I'd love to hear about them in the comments!

DENVER, Colo. (March 3, 2010) -- According to Furniture Row Racing driver Regan Smith, the gloating is over and the chemistry remains intact for the hard-charging Denver-based NASCAR Sprint Cup team.
Smith, an avid hockey fan, is still feeling the sting of Team USA's loss to Canada in Sunday's gold medal final. But for the two teammates he is close to during a race weekend -- Ryan Coniam (crew chief) and Cole Pearn (engineer) -- the feeling is 180 degrees opposite.
Coniam and Pearn, also avid hockey fans, are native Canadians, who have been reveling in Team Canada's 3-2 sudden death win, much to the chagrin of Smith.
"I didn't see the game, but from all accounts it was exciting to watch, except for the wrong team winning," said Smith. "My two Canadian teammates gloated a little, and took a few jabs at me. Of course, it was all in fun, and we know there's more important issues to discuss."
The primary issue at hand for Smith and the No. 78 Furniture Row team is to continue its improvement in Sunday's Kobalt Tools 500 Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway (AMS).
After three Cup events, Smith is 25th in driver points, despite being collected in an early accident in the season-opening Daytona 500 and finishing 39th. He rebounded with finishes of 19th in California and 21st in Las Vegas.
"This is a greatly improved race team compared to what it was at this time last year," said Smith as he was leaving Las Vegas Motor Speedway Sunday.
The next test for Smith will be at Atlanta's ultra-fast and aerodynamic-sensitive track. The 1.54-mile surface has not been that kind to Smith, who did not qualify in the Furniture Row Chevy in last September's race at AMS.
"It's not that I don't like the Atlanta track, I just haven't spent that much time there," offered Smith. "I need to develop a better feel for the place."
Smith, 26, has competed six times at Atlanta Motor Speedway -- two each in Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series. His Cup finishes were 38th and 31st in 2008. His Nationwide finishes were 21st in 2006 and 23rd in 2007. His placements in the two truck races were 29th in 2005 and 18th in 2007.

Promise brings a fresh perspective to Christian music, as four critically acclaimed soloists come together to forge seamless harmonies with inspiring lyrics.
The group is comprised of Keyla Vazquez, soprano, Izzie Moyano, alto, Kelvin Clavelo, tenor, and Denar Almonte, tenor/director. The members spent years honing their musical craft with one of Christian music's most beloved and tenured vocal groups, the Heritage Singers.
"Promise is the birth of something new and exciting," says Denar Almonte. "We are able to draw upon an amazing legacy, and yet move forward with an original sound." Their first album, "Un Nuevo Dia," showcases their soaring vocals and ultra-tight blend, as each track hits home with an unequivocal, uplifting message.

About Michaela...
*Waves* My name is Michaela and I live near the capital of the United States of America.
If you don't mind (and it doesn't cost you extra), it would be great if the postcard could be sent written, but in an envelope since the USPS machines have been very unkind recently.
Want to send me a specific postcard? That's just peachy! If you do, some of my likes include:
☆Cards from my favorites (https://www.postcrossing.com/user/ChaelaMonstah/gallery/favourites) 💖
☆ Meet-Up Postcards.
☆Lali - My collection: https://picasaweb.google.com/113653509843268548999/MyLaliPostcardsNotForSwap
☆Halloween (please no vintage style postcards).
☆Lantern Press.
☆Maxi cards.
☆Copper, Wooden, Magnetic Postcards.
☆Movies - I prefer mainstream Hollywood movies.
☆Johnny Depp. Yes, this should be under movies but he is just too amazing to be listed in a sub-category.
☆Food, sweets, coffee, cappuccinos, etc.
☆Cupcakes (is a food but, like Johnny Depp, deserves special attention).
☆ TV Shows like Sherlock, Supernatural, Lost, Dexter, BTVS, Xena, Once Upon A Time, Sleepy Hollow, Reign.
☆Fluffy animals and bears.
☆Dogs - especially American Eskimo, Pomeranian, Schipperke, or Samoyed dogs.
☆Night views (especially cities at night).
☆World of Warcraft.
☆NHL (The Washington Capitals are my favorite team).
☆ I am not a fan of AD (unless movie), vintage, folded or art cards. Please send those types of cards to people that prefer/collect them.
☆ Decorated cards always make me smile. Feel free to use stickers, washi tape, or doodle on the card you send me.
Although I absolutely love postcards dealing with the above list, I definitely understand if you don't have those postcard types available. Pretty touristy cards are wonderful additions to my postcard collection. It means the world to me when you actually write something about yourself on whatever card you choose to send. The writing is what differentiates a postcard from just another photo.
Don't know what to write? How about telling me...
~What your favorite horror movie is?
~Favorite actor/actress?
~Favorite video game?
~Cupcakes or cookies?
~One place you want to visit?
~Would you rather live in space or underwater?
~A quote you live by?
~Work: Love it or hate it?
~The worst movie you ever saw?
~If you could have a superpower, what superpower would you want?

In Summary
- A Fifa statement said that the punishment "took into account the fact that Manchester City FC accepted its responsibility."
- The are also being investigated by both the Premier League and the Football Association in England and by Uefa, the governing body of European football
- FA rules state that young players cannot be represented by an agent until the year they turn 16
Manchester City have been found guilty by Fifa of breaking the rules on international transfer and registration of players aged under 18, world football's governing body announced on Tuesday.
The Premier League club could have faced a transfer ban, but instead Fifa's Disciplinary Committee fined City Sh39 million (339,000 euros).
A Fifa statement said that the punishment "took into account the fact that Manchester City FC accepted its responsibility."
Last year, Fifa cleared Manchester City of any wrongdoing over their 2016 signing of Benjamin Garre from Velez Sarsfield just after the Argentinian midfielder's 16th birthday.
Also in 2018, two players from the Right to Dream football academy in Ghana, Sierra Leonean George Davies and Ghanaian Dominic Oduro, told Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten that they signed for City and played in youth matches before they turned 18. Both spent two years at the club. Davies last played for Riga FC and Oduro now plays for the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the United States.

This information is to assist in understanding the process and requirements that apply when the Australian Government lists terrorist organisations under Division 102 of the Commonwealth Criminal Code Act 1995. The protocol complements the Australian Government's pamphlet on Australia's counter-terrorism laws available on the publications page.
There are two ways that an organisation may be found to be a terrorist organisation under the Criminal Code:
The courts can only consider whether an organisation is a terrorist organisation during a prosecution for a terrorist organisation offence. It is not the role of the courts to consider this as a stand-alone matter. The listing process enables the government to identify terrorist organisations as a separate matter to any offences.
The listing process provides a mechanism for the Australian Government to identify terrorist organisations and put the organisation and members of the public on notice that the organisation is a terrorist organisation under Australian law.
Notification is important to help people avoid engaging in activities such as becoming a member of or providing support or money to a terrorist organisation.
Under Division 102 of the Criminal Code, it is an offence to do things such as direct the activities of, be a member of, recruit for, provide training to, receive training from or participate in training with, provide funds to or receive funds from or provide support to, a terrorist organisation. It is also an offence to associate with a member of a listed terrorist organisation in certain circumstances where such association intentionally provides support to that organisation.
A listing can also provide the basis for establishing the fact that an organisation is a terrorist organisation in a criminal proceeding.
Before listing an organisation, the Attorney-General must be satisfied on reasonable grounds that the organisation:
For more information on the legislative test and the terrorist organisation offences, refer to the Australia's counter-terrorism laws brochure, available on the Publications page.
The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) and the Attorney-General's Department have lead roles in providing support to the Attorney-General in relation to the listing of terrorist organisations, as outlined below. Other Australian Government agencies, including the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, and the Australian Federal Police, have more limited roles and are consulted about listing decisions at appropriate times in accordance with their portfolio responsibilities.
The Attorney-General must be satisfied on reasonable grounds that an organisation meets the legislative test for listing. In making his decision, the Attorney-General considers advice provided by ASIO.
In considering the possible listing of an organisation, ASIO will evaluate the organisation against the legislative requirements for listing in subsection 102.1(2) of the Criminal Code.
ASIO will consider whether there is information indicating that the organisation:
There are a large number of organisations that could be considered for possible listing. To guide and prioritise the selection of organisations for consideration, ASIO may also have regard to a range of other factors, often referred to as the non-legislative factors. The key non-legislative factors are:
Depending on available information, some factors may carry more weight than others in selecting organisations for consideration. For example, information indicating links to Australia or threats to Australian interests may tend to prioritise consideration of listing a particular group as a terrorist organisation. However, a lack of information with respect to one or more factors will not preclude an organisation from being considered for listing.
ASIO provides advice to the Attorney-General in the form of a Statement of Reasons that outlines the organisation's involvement in terrorism. The Statement of Reasons will outline why, in ASIO's view, the organisation meets the legislative test for listing.
The Statement of Reasons may also include information that relates to any of the non-legislative factors outlined above. The inclusion of information relevant to the non-legislative factors is not required for the Attorney-General to be satisfied whether or not the organisation meets the legislative test for listing. However, it may provide useful contextual information about the organisation for the Attorney-General and for the general public.
Whenever possible, the Statement of Reasons will be prepared as a stand-alone document, based on unclassified information about an organisation, which is corroborated by classified information. This enables the Statement of Reasons to be made available to the public, and provides transparency as to the basis on which the Attorney-General's decision is made.
If there is insufficient unclassified information about an organisation, ASIO may provide a classified briefing to the Attorney-General.
The role of the Attorney-General's Department is to facilitate the listing process. The department scrutinises the draft Statement of Reasons before it is provided to the Attorney-General, and obtains advice from the Australian Government Solicitor as to whether the Statement of Reasons contains sufficient information for the Attorney-General to be satisfied on reasonable grounds that the organisation meets the legislative criteria for listing.
The department also assists in ensuring the requirements to brief the Leader of the Opposition and consult with states and territories are met.
Where the Attorney-General decides that an organisation meets the legislative criteria for listing and the necessary consultation requirements have been met, the Governor-General may make regulations to list the organisation. The department assists in preparing the formal documentation required for the listing.
After a regulation has been made listing an organisation as a terrorist organisation, the Attorney-General may make a declaration to include the name of a new alias or remove the name of an alias, if the Attorney‑General is satisfied that the alias is the same name as the principal name of the organisation listed by the regulation. The ability for the Attorney-General to add or remove an alias does not allow the amendment of the title of the organisation listed by the regulation.
Once a regulation has been made, the department liaises with the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security, which has a role in reviewing the listing (including a declaration to add or remove an alias) and providing advice to Parliament, as to whether the listing regulation or the declaration should be disallowed.
Consistent with ASIO's functions under the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979, ASIO monitors the relevance to security of all listed terrorist organisations.
If circumstances arise which cause ASIO to form a view that a listed terrorist organisation no longer meets the legislative requirements for listing, ASIO will advise the Attorney-General. If the Attorney-General ceases to be satisfied that an organisation meets the legislative criteria to remain listed, the Attorney-General must make a written declaration to this effect. The regulation listing that organisation will cease to have effect when that declaration is made.
Where the Attorney-General receives advice from ASIO that a listed terrorist organisation is referred to by another name (an alias), or no longer uses a name listed as an alias in the regulation, the Attorney‑General may add the alias to, or remove the former name from the regulation.
A regulations listing a terrorist organisation ceases to have effect three years after it commences. This ensures that there is regular review and re-evaluation as to whether the organisation continues to meet the legislative criteria for listing.
Before a listing expires, ASIO will evaluate the organisation against the legislative requirements. If it considers the organisation continues to meet the legislative criteria, ASIO will prepare a new Statement of Reasons for the Attorney-General's consideration.
ASIO's Statement of Reasons for an organisation being considered for re-listing will provide information, as far as possible, indicating the organisation's involvement in the doing, preparing, planning, assisting, fostering or advocating of terrorism since the time it was last listed. This will enable the Attorney-General to assess whether the organisation continues to meet the legislative criteria for listing.
Any person or organisation is entitled to make a de-listing application to the Attorney-General. If a de-listing application is made on the grounds that there is no basis for the Attorney-General to be satisfied that the organisation satisfies the legislative criteria, the Attorney-General is required to consider the de-listing application.
If the Attorney-General receives a de-listing application, he may request advice from ASIO. The advice provided by ASIO in relation to a de-listing application may take any form and is not required to be in the form of a Statement of Reasons.
When an organisation is listed or re-listed, it is the Attorney-General's practice to issue a media release advising of this fact. The media release will include the Statement of Reasons for the decision.
Similarly, where an organisation is not re-listed or is de-listed, the Attorney-General will issue a media release advising of this fact, and will outline the reasons why the organisation has not been re-listed or has been de-listed in general terms.
A decision to de-list or not re-list an organisation will not prevent the organisation from being re-listed in future, should circumstances change and the Attorney-General be satisfied that the organisation does meet the legislative criteria.
After an organisation has been listed, the PJCIS may review the listing, and report comments and recommendations to Parliament before the end of the Parliamentary disallowance period. Should the PJCIS consider that there are insufficient grounds for an organisation to be listed or have other concerns with the listing, the PJCIS may recommend that Parliament disallow a listing regulation so that it ceases to have effect. The PJCIS may also review the addition of an alias or the removal of a former name.
Review by the PJCIS provides openness, transparency and accountability in the listing process. The PJCIS has expertise in reviewing security and intelligence matters and is well‑placed to consider listing decisions, including where classified information may need to be examined.
Review by the PJCIS also provides an avenue for members of the public to raise any concerns and provide information to the PJCIS with respect to the listing of particular terrorist organisations. The manner in which inquiries are undertaken and advertised is a matter for the PJCIS.
Further information about the PJCIS is available on the Parliament of Australia website.
Judicial review of the legality of a decision to list an organisation is available in the courts under the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977, section 75(v) of the Constitution and section 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903. The general principles of administrative law require that the Minister's decision be made on the basis of logically probative evidence. The decision must also be a proper exercise of power, not flawed by irrelevant considerations, improper purpose or exercised in bad faith.
The IGIS is an independent statutory office holder who monitors and reviews the legality and propriety of the activities of Australia's intelligence and security agencies, including ASIO.
The IGIS has own motion inquiry powers and can also conduct inquiries in response to complaints from any person or requests from ministers. Should the IGIS decide to conduct an inquiry into ASIO's role in the terrorist listing of any particular organisation, the IGIS would consider whether ASIO had followed appropriate processes when considering the organisation for listing and when providing advice to the Attorney-General.
More information is available on the IGIS website.
The list of terrorist organisations and the current Statements of Reasons for each organisation are available on the Australian National Security website. The National Security website provides an up-to-date list of the relevant names and aliases of a listed terrorist organisation.
Listed terrorist organisations are also set out in individual regulations relevant to that organisation, available on the ComLaw website.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs is responsible for a separate list of 'terrorist entities' under the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945. This is a different process to the Criminal Code listing process, and relates to Australia's anti‑terrorism financing obligations under the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373 (2001). Information on this separate process is available on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website.
The Australian Government has also produced a pamphlet on Australia's counter-terrorism laws. This pamphlet is available on the Publications page of the Australian National Security website in English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Indonesian, Malaysian, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese. To request a hard copy, submit an enquiry via the Attorney-General's Department's Contact Us page.

Upper eyelid correction
We are all getting older and with the years the upper eyelids can hang. The excess skin that develops affects your vision, but can also make you look older and more tired than you actually are. If you suffer from this, we can perform an eyelid correction. This is a surgical procedure that can be combined with a correction of the lower eyelid. An upper eyelid correction is usually performed under local anesthesia. You can return home shortly after the procedure.
During a personal consultation with the surgeon, we look at the upper eyelids, the eye sockets and the position of the eyebrows. The aim of the treatment is to remove the excess skin so that you receive good vision again and look less tired. This allows you to take a fresh look back into the world.
