The Power of Om
August 29, 2007
All over the world many people have either heard or chanted "Om." Sometimes Om is chanted with great reverence and meaning by spiritual mystics; other times one will hear Om being chanted in jest, as a popular mocking of metaphysics. And perhaps most often it is chanted by rote in a yoga class, for instance, without much thought or knowledge behind the sound. However the Om vibration is one of the oldest and most sacred sounds in the world, meant to move energy and create dynamic change within the person chanting and the environment at large. Let us take a look at this sound vibration and all its fascinating implications.
Aum or Om is considered to be the planet's oldest and most important Sanskrit mantra–one that forms a basis for all other prayers and chants of worship in the Hindu tradition. "Om" is actually more aptly spelled "Aum," for the vibration actually contains three distinct sounds. The three sounds within Om are delineated by the "A" meaning the beginning of all; the "U" representing the middle of all; and the "M" representing the end. Om represents the ultimate of all things and of all sounds. The "A' is produced with the mouth open; the "U" with the mouth slightly closed; and the "M" with the mouth complete closed. Thus, A, U, M also represent a trinity energy, an image we find throughout Hindu teachings, representing the energies of creating, sustenance and destruction. All things, projects, people, and animals go through a beginning, a middle and an end stage. A flower is born, it is sustained for some time, and then it dies out. The day is new in the morning, awake by midday, and then sleeping by evening. In ayurvedic medicine it is recommended, in fact, that we honor this cycle, by waking early, doing our main activities by day, and then winding down as the sun sets. In essence we are, therefore, all following the pattern of the AUM all the time, whether we know it or not. And our grandest journey with Om involves our birth, life and death cycles, energies we must all pass through.
Aum or Om is considered to be the primordial sound of creation and it is thought that all language emanates from this initial sound vibration. All Sanskri mantras (sacred sound prayers) in India begin with Om, and a meditating yogi may attest to the power of Om in even a short matter of time. Chanting Om is said to activate the entire nervous system, all of our chakras, as well as our subtle and physical bodies. After some time of working with Om, it is quite common to "hear" Om all around us–in nature, in inanimate objects, in people when they speak. Even the sound of a lawnmower or the traffic outside may start to resemble Om when one becomes attuned to its frequency. We even attest that our temple cats seem to be chanting Om sometimes for the sound of their meows resembles Om so aptly!
The symbol of Om in Sanskrit is delineated by several lines–the upper curve (which looks like the top of a "3") represents our waking state and the letter "A;" the lower part (the bottom of the "3") corresponds to our dream state and the "U" sound; and the right curve extending from this 3-figure depicts our deep, dreamless state, while relating to the "M." The final part of the Aum in Sanskrit looks like a crescent moon and represents "maya" or the veil of illusion that we all must go pass in order to reach enlightenment. This veil of illusion has to do with the physical, material world and the energies we must transcend here. Finally at the top of the Aum we find a small dot called a "bindu" in Sanskrit which epitomizes enlightenment. The essence of Om says that beyond waking, dreaming and dreamless sleep lies an all-pervading consciousness that illuminates all life everywhere. Om asks us to remember that we exist beyond time and space, rather as eternally as spiritual beings simply having a temporary physical existence. Although we may fall under the illusion that we live only while awake, while sleeping, and while dreaming, we actually live beyond these energies, for our consciousness pervades all states of beingness and travels with us through many lifetimes.
Tapping into the Om vibration is fairly easy but reaping its benefits requires time and patience. One may listen to a recording of Om, chant the Om, or even gaze in meditation at the Sanskrit symbol of Om. Over time, the Om will become pervasive, enveloping the aspirant in a warm and gentle knowingness, a calmness of being, an unmistakable light. It is said in the vedic texts that one who works with Om develops a sweet voice, a kind nature, and a pleasing disposition. The energy of Om ultimately reminds us of our innerconnected-ness to life everywhere, making us more compassionate, loving beings. If only more of us chanted Om, what a healthier world this would be.

Pirelli Cookbook Launch Celebrates its "Miles and Meals"
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Gino Angelini interprets recipes from Pirelli cookbook for dinner (Photo courtesy of European Car)[/caption] The launch of the Pirelli cookbook marked a bunch of firsts for me. Though always pleasant to see Hadley of Grubstreet LA and Eddie of Deep End Dining, it was the first time I had been at a media event with Maxim, European Car and a few other related publications. Cars and food, they do go together, right? Or more specifically, tires and food? [caption id="" align="alignright" width="240"] A Ferrari, which we did not have for dinner[/caption] The cookbook details recipes made for the Pirelli team by Chef Fabrizio Tanfani as they travel all over the world in the Pirelli Motorhome. Just as the same drivers, mechanics and technicians drive and calibrate Pirelli's equipment throughout their travels, the entire team's meals and diets are just as controlled. The Pirelli cookbook introduction begins, "Preparing a dish and manufacturing a tyre have a lot in common." So it may be a stretch, but you don't exactly turn down a private dinner catered by Gino Angelini on a Saturday night at a residence in Bel Air. Turns out that the place with a superb view (which sits next door to Gordon Ramsay's own house) belonged to Claus Ettensberger of CEC - Claus Ettensberger Corporation, that is. European car geeks - something I could've called myself in a former life - know CEC alongside and as the importer of aftermarket brands like AC Schnitzer, Oettinger, Caractre, Lorinser, etc. We have all wanted rims, turbo kits, pulleys, body kits, sway bars, full on tuning kits from the CEC showroom in Century City. But here I was, invited as food media, and it was a crazy feeling having my former and current worlds colliding. (The Maxims piled a few feet high on the top of my ex-boyfriend-from-college's toilet tank, not excepted…eeesh.) [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="240"] Tyrrhenian-style Octopus Salad[/caption] While we were also celebrating the return of Pirelli to Formula 1 as their sole tire provider, the spotlight of the night was actually on Gino Angelini, Los Angeles' longtime beacon of quality Italian food thanks to the exceptional reputation of his Angelini Osteria on Beverly Boulevard. The dishes he interpreted come from the Pirelli cookbook, but as one vice president of Pirelli's marketing division said, "We don't like to censor the artist" - clearly alluding to the notorious Pirelli Calendar. And so the parallel was drawn. Standouts as interpreted by Gino included the Tyrrhenian-style Octopus Salad, the recipe of which was inspired by Pirelli's Formula 1 Airtel/Indian Grand Prix stop in New Delhi, India - with the challenge being cooking Italian food with fresh, Indian ingredients. Gino's rendition was stellar, with super tender octopus - cooked with the kind of skill that blows the minds of droves who have long before dismissed octopus as chewy. The char flavor was just perfect, further brightened by greens and tomatoes. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="240"] Swordfish Escalope[/caption] The cookbook's Bucatini All'Amatriciana recipe inspired by the Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix was reinterpreted by Gino, using bombolotti pasta instead. As always, Gino's pasta was perfect - flavorful and al dente to the bite. But the Swordfish Escalope with Buffalo Burrata, Grape Tomatoes and Basil from the Grand Prix of Europe was truly was the shining entree of the night. The texture and flavor were perfect in all directions, with burrata lending a creaminess and the tomatoes acidity to the dish. I want this again. The Tirimisu, which is probably prepared all over the world but is said to be inspired by the Gulf Air Bahrain Gran Prix, was boozy and just creamy (thanks to eggs and marscapone) and sweet enough like a proper slice should be. But the kicker was getting to hear how Gino got in trouble with the cops after speeding and was subsequently left to the devices of his limited English. Also be sure to check out his new, 8,000 square-foot restaurant, a collaboration with conglomerate IDG, to come later this fall on Sunset Blvd at the former Hamburger Hamlet. If you've been to Angelini Osteria, this volume should prove to be a challenge - but with Chef Gino's skill, I'm sure we're all expecting some pretty big results. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Table Setting for Pirelli, CEC family and media[/caption] All food and wine were hosted.

text: Beat Seasonal Allergies with Air Purification Posted June 24, 2015 We're already in the middle of what allergy sufferers consider to be the worst time of year – pollen season. No matter at what point in the year your allergies trouble you the most, everyone wants to relieve the irritation that allergies bring with them every year. That's where air purification comes in to help. We've already talked about the benefits that air filtration can offer, so why not learn more about one more tool that can get you back to breathing a little easier. No home is completely protected from indoor air quality issues, and your home certainly isn't free from permitting the outdoor air into your home when pollen, dust and ragweed fill the spring, summer and fall air. The goal is to make you more comfortable by minimizing or completely eliminating those irritants from reducing your indoor air quality. And that's something that all allergy sufferers have in common. There are several things that you can do to limit tracking allergens inside your home too. Take off your shoes before you come inside after working outside After doing yardwork20, head inside and take a quick shower to rinse off any allergens that may be on your clothes or body If you have any pets that go outside, make sure you are brushing and bathing them regularly so that they don't transport in allergens Among homeowners, there can be some puzzlement as to the difference between air filtration and air purification. Simply put, air filters are a part of air purification systems like the PureAir™ system, but do not clear the air of as many particles as an air purifier does. This is largely due to the fact that the PureAir™ system is made up of a three-part system which includes a traditional air filter, UVA light and a metal insert that is coated with a light-activated catalyst. In the end, what really matters is confronting those aggressive allergies and making your home an oasis of relief when the outdoor air is working to make it difficult to bear. Having a comfortable home that you relax in is important and something that all homeowners aim for when getting a home. After all, who wants to come home after a long day and feel miserable? That's also where the experts at Olde Towne Heating & Air in Mount Pleasant can offer their expertise to help. They have the industry knowledge and expertise to talk through the problems you're having with you and determine the best course of action to help find. Why not handle your home's indoor air quality before it starts irritating your allergies? It's easy to make a big difference in the air you're breathing, so give Olde Towne Heating & Air a call at 843-485-0967 and we can determine how an air purification system can benefit you.

innovationXchange is DFAT's development innovation hub.
A celebration of Australia delivered in a country or region of strategic significance.
Ensuring Australia continues to build soft power and exercise influence effectively.
To help Australians avoid difficulties overseas, we maintain travel advisories for more than 170 destinations.
The Australian Passport Office and its agents are committed to providing a secure, efficient and responsive passport service for Australia.
These Guidelines provide information about the 2017 round of the New Colombo Plan (NCP) Mobility Program, including eligibility and the process for assessing and allocating funding to grant applications.
These Guidelines should be read in conjunction with the Advice to Applicants available on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website at www.dfat.gov.au/people-to-people/new-colombo-plan. These Guidelines commence on 12 January 2016.
The New Colombo Plan is a signature initiative of the Australian Government which aims to lift knowledge of the Indo-Pacific in Australia by supporting Australian undergraduates to study and undertake Internships in the region.
The Australian Government made an initial commitment of $100 million of funding for the New Colombo Plan. Funding for the program is now ongoing. It involves a prestigious scholarship program for study of up to one year and Internships or Mentorships, and a flexible mobility grant program for both short and longer term study, Internships, Mentorships, practicums, clinical placements and research.
The New Colombo Plan is intended to be transformational, deepening Australia's relationships in the region, both at the individual level and through expanding university, business and other stakeholder links.
The New Colombo Plan aims to:
In the 2017 round the New Colombo Plan Mobility Program's strategic objectives are to:
Funding for the total New Colombo Plan budget from 2016-17 is outlined below.
The New Colombo Plan Mobility Program provides funding to Australian Universities (the Applicants and Funding Recipients) which in turn provide grants to Australian undergraduate students to enable their participation in Mobility Projects in the Indo-Pacific region. The purpose of this funding is to meet the strategic objectives of the New Colombo Plan set out at Section 1.3.
Under the 2017 round, approximately $20 million in funding is available to support Single-term Mobility Projects and the first year of Multi-year Mobility Projects through Student Grants and a contribution to Applicants' administration costs. Funding for the second and third years of any successful Multi-year Mobility Projects will be additional to this and determined based on applications received and the outcomes of selection processes.
The Program will prioritise funding of Mobility Projects that meet all or a majority of objectives set out at Section 1.3. This includes Mobility Projects that: support new and/or increased student mobility and new and strengthened partnerships; facilitate longer-term study, language study, and Internships; and promote diversity in Host Locations.
Around 25 per cent of total funding available under the 2017 round may be directed towards Multi-year Mobility Projects undertaken between 1 January 2017 and 30 June 2020, in accordance with the timeline at Section 4.1. The remainder of the funding will be directed to Single-term Mobility Projects (undertaken between 1 January 2017 and 30 June 2018).
The Program will prioritise funding of Mobility Projects that entail significant private sector in-kind support or financial sponsorship, beyond the provision of Internships or Mentorships (see Section 2.5). It will also prioritise funding of Mobility Projects that have a longer duration of study.
Successful Applicants (Funding Recipients) will be awarded funding to be used for Mobility Projects in Host Locations.
Mobility Projects can include one or more of the following:
Short-term Grants enable Students to participate in Mobility Projects that:
A Short-term Grant provides between $1,000 and $3,000 per Student.
Semester Grants enable Students to participate in Mobility Projects that:
A Semester Grant provides between $3,000 and $7,000 per Student.
Internship Grants are available for semester-based Mobility Projects that include an Internship component in addition to semester-based study. Additional course credit can be applied at the discretion of the Home Institution, but is not required.
An Internship Grant will provide $1,000 per Student (which is in addition to a Semester Grant).
Students receiving a Short-term Grant are ineligible for Internship Grants. Where an Internship is the sole component of a semester-based Mobility Project, the Mobility Project is ineligible for an Internship Grant.
The table below indicates the relevant Study Period for each type of New Colombo Plan mobility grant.
Except as outlined below, Funding Recipients must use Student Grant funding for the sole purpose of providing grants directly to Students.
Where a Funding Recipient wishes to use the funding provided for Student Grants to make group arrangements on behalf of Students (and thereby not pay a component of the funding directly to Students), the Funding Recipient must:
Funding Recipients do not need to provide the Department of Education and Training with copies of Student consent but should retain a record.
Funding Recipients cannot use the funding provided for Student Grants for their administrative costs (see Section 2.6). Funding Recipients should also inform Students of other funding options available, e.g. OS-HELP[2].
Students must receive their grant amount prior to their departure.
In the 2017 round, around 25 per cent of funding is available for Multi-year Mobility Projects that meet an additional selection criterion and are approved to run for up to two additional years beyond the Single-term Mobility Project Completion Date of 30 June 2018 (i.e. between 1 January 2017 and 30 June 2020). Applicants cannot submit the same project proposal for Single term and Multi-Year Funding.
Multi-year Mobility Projects allow the same project to be offered over multiple years to different cohorts of students. Multi-Year Funding is only available to Mobility Projects that support Applicants to deliver a long-term and sustainable increase in student mobility to the region. Applicants must demonstrate how Multi-Year Funding will enable them to scale-up and sustain mobility, and strengthen their partnerships e.g. Applicants could seek an increased number of Student Grants for each year of the Mobility Project's duration or could demonstrate that the fields of study or program types have expanded. The required timeline for Multi-year Mobility Projects is available at Section 4.1.
Under the funding agreements for any Multi-year Mobility Projects, funding beyond 30 June 2018 will be contingent on the Funding Recipients submitting completion reports on an annual basis and the Australian Government approving continued funding following a review of these completion reports (see Section 6.5).
In the event that 25 per cent of total funding available under the 2017 round cannot be directed to Multi-year Mobility Projects, either because of a lack of demand or because applications are deemed unsuitable or are not competitive, available funding will be directed towards Single-term Mobility Projects.
Applicants can also nominate to have the first term of funding under a Multi-Year Mobility Project considered as a Single-term Mobility project application, should there be insufficient funding available to fund the project as Multi-Year Mobility Project.
Private Sector Organisations in Australia and other parts of the Indo-Pacific region can make an important contribution to the number and quality of student mobility experiences under the New Colombo Plan by offering Internships and Mentorships, and hosting briefings and site visits for Students.
Under the 2017 round, the New Colombo Plan is encouraging collaboration between universities and the private sector through the development of Mobility Projects that entail in-kind and/or financial Private Sector Sponsorship.
In-kind sponsorship is the provision of a good or service free of charge by a private sector sponsor for use in the Mobility Project that otherwise would have required payment of a fee or charge. Financial sponsorship is a cash contribution to a Mobility Project offered by a private sector sponsor. Applicant and Host Institution contributions are not considered Private Sector Sponsorship.
Mobility Projects that incorporate Private Sector Sponsorship beyond the provision of Internships, Mentorships and briefings will be given preference in the selection process (see Selection Criterion 7).
As an example of in-kind sponsorship, a Private Sector Organisation may wish to provide in-country accommodation for mobility Students or in-house training and development such as language and cultural courses. Such in-kind contributions from a Private Sector Organisation extend the reach of New Colombo Plan Mobility Projects for both Home Universities and Students. As an example of financial sponsorship, a Private Sector Organisation may wish to fund the cost of an additional Study Period to enable Students to have a longer period in-country, or they may wish to match proposed Government funding to enable increased Student participation.
Universities are encouraged to use the New Colombo Plan Internship and Mentorship Network portal to identify Private Sector Organisations that are willing to consider collaborating to establish innovative Mobility Projects.
The Applicant may apply for administration funding for each Mobility Project, calculated at 10 per cent of total Student Grants sought for that project. Administration funding can be used for administration purposes associated with Mobility Project management, including but not limited to:
The Applicant must apply for any administration funding as part of the Mobility Project application.
Administration funding cannot be provided to Students.
Applications for funding will be accepted from all Australian Universities (defined as a higher education provider under the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 in a provider category that permits the use of the word "university") and consortia of Australian Universities.
A Consortium must nominate one Australian University as the lead Applicant and the Consortium must submit the application in the lead Applicant's name. That Australian University will be accountable for meeting the legal and reporting requirements on behalf of the Consortium. The Australian Government encourages consortia applications, particularly where they enable Australian Universities to support student mobility to the region that would have otherwise not occurred.
Applicants must not apply for funding for the same Mobility Project(s) through individual and consortia applications.
A Student participating in a Mobility Project must meet the following eligibility requirements:
At least 70 per cent of Students participating in any given Mobility Project must be aged 18 to 28 inclusive at the commencement of their Mobility Project. Up to 30 per cent of Students may be over the age of 28. Students under the age of 18 cannot participate in any Mobility Project.
For example, if a Mobility Project has 15 Students, 30 per cent of Students may be over the age of 28 this would equal 4.5 students, the University can only have 4 students over the age of 28 travel with this project, the 4.5 students cannot be increased or rounded up to 5 students.
Universities cannot provide the same Student with more than one New Colombo Plan Short-term Grant and/or more than one New Colombo Plan Semester Grant (with or without an Internship Grant) during their undergraduate studies.
Universities are strongly encouraged to actively support the participation of a diverse range of Students in Mobility Projects including those with a disability, that identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, from disadvantaged[4] or low socio-economic (SES)[5] backgrounds. This includes the provision of support services to members of these groups in an appropriate and culturally sensitive manner.
Mobility Projects must:
In some cases it may be appropriate for a Student in receipt of a Student Grant to undertake a component of their Mobility Project in a secondary, eligible Host Location where it cannot be delivered in the primary Host Location. For example:
Mobility Projects may be conducted in the following 38 eligible Indo-Pacific Host Locations: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, China, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kiribati, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nauru, Nepal, Niue, Pakistan, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Vietnam.
Mobility Projects must not involve travel to a Host Location or region within a Host Location for which the Australian Government's Smartraveller travel advice recommends 'Do not travel' (see www.smartraveller.gov.au). Host Locations for which the Smartraveller travel advice recommends 'Reconsider your need to travel' are eligible for New Colombo Plan funding but Applicants should think seriously about the need to send Students to travel to that Host Location or region before deciding whether to apply.
Applicants must consider the risks of travel to all Host Locations and regions carefully before deciding whether to apply, and ensure strategies and services are in place to support Student welfare and safety (see Section 7.2 and 7.3).
When a Mobility Project involves enrolled study in the Host Location, such as semester-based study, it should be undertaken at a local Host Institution.
Study is eligible at Offshore Campuses of Australian Universities, if the Home University provides confirmation that the following conditions are met:
Host Institutions should not be Offshore Campuses of a third country, unless from a New Colombo Plan Host Location.
The table below summarises key dates for the 2017 round.
Project Schedules and invoices due 4 weeks after offers are made.
Mobility Project information must be current in ISEO at all times.
Student details must be entered on ISEO at least 3 weeks before Students depart Australia (see Section 5).
Completion reports due.
1 January 2017 –
30 June 2018
Funding Recipients must submit a completion report for the first term of funding before the second term of funding will be provided.
Note the Australian Government requires up to 4 weeks for reviewing and accepting completion reports and approving additional funding. Funding Recipients should factor this into their timeframes.
1 July 2018 –
30 June 2019
Confirmed Student details must be entered on ISEO at least 3 weeks before Students depart Australia (see Section 5).
Completion reports due for Multi-year Mobility Projects.
Funding Recipients must submit a completion report for their second term of funding before the third term of funding will be provided.
Note the Australian Government requires up to 4 weeks for reviewing completion reports and approving additional funding. Funding Recipients should factor this into their timeframes
1 July 2019 –
30 June 2020
Final completion reports due.
Applications must be lodged in ISEO (International Student Exchange Online) by 11.59 PM AEST, 3 June 2016. Refer to Section 5 for more information on ISEO.
Any applications received after the closing date will be deemed ineligible and not considered for funding.
Applicants will be required to enter the following details for each Short-term or Semester Mobility Project application:
a) Host Location, field of study, years of funding sought (Single-term or Multi-year), whether the Mobility Project is a new or existing project, whether the Mobility Project is also being submitted for other locations in the 2017 round, the length of study and whether the application is a Consortium application
b) a title and description of the proposed Mobility Project (including whether the project involves travel to a secondary Host Location and whether the project can be scaled up or down), Mobility Project type, qualification level, indicative travel dates and Project Partner(s)
c) confirm that the Mobility Project will be credit-bearing or a mandatory course requirement
d) if a Project Partner is an Offshore Campus of an Australian University, confirm that the conditions at Section 3.5 have been met
e) provide a contact point for the Mobility Project from the Home University (the academic or mobility officer leading the Mobility Project)
f) respond to the seven selection criteria and where relevant, additional selection criteria for Internship Grants and Multi-year Funding
g) provide a financial breakdown of the funding sought consisting of the proposed student numbers, the value of each Student Grant sought and whether administrative funding is sought, as well as evidence of any Private Sector Organisation support (e.g. a letter or other formal documentation) and the indicative dollar figure for any Private Sector Organisation and/or internal contributions to the Mobility Project
h) provide declarations including:
Applicants must rank separately their semester and short-term Mobility Project applications in order of institutional priority. University rankings will be considered in the selection process (see Section 4.4).
Applicants should be aware that ISEO will automatically rank all applications based on the order they are entered into the system. Applicants must then review and, if required, manually edit these rankings. Applications can be ranked at any time after they are created, and rankings may be changed at any time up until the round closes.
An application guide including detailed instructions on using the ISEO system will be made available through ISEO and on request prior to the opening of the round.
Applications will be assessed against the following selection criteria. Applicants should respond to all criteria. Note:
To what extent will the Mobility Project:
a. increase student knowledge of the Indo-Pacific and Host location?
b. increase student mobility to the Indo-Pacific and the Host location?
Applicants should describe how the proposed Mobility Project will increase student knowledge of the Indo-Pacific region and the Host Location and increase student mobility to the region and the Host location.
Responses should include examples of how this will occur. For example increasing knowledge of the Indo-Pacific region may take place through direct learning, cultural training, engagement with local social and cultural institutions or direct engagement with local community, business or academic networks. Increasing student mobility may occur by increasing the number of students able to participate, expanding study program types or fields of study, or providing opportunities for student groups that would not otherwise have the opportunity to undertake a mobility experience.
Will the Mobility Project:
a) support new and/or strengthened partnerships in the Indo-Pacific region?
b) be sustainable over time?
Applicants must demonstrate how the proposed Mobility Project establishes or strengthens people-to-people and institutional relationships with the region, through the engagement of Students, universities, businesses and other stakeholders and how the relationships provide a strategic opportunity for enhanced engagement.
Responses should also outline how the partnership/s will continue and be maintained in the future, including current or planned partnership agreements. Responses should also outline any other steps being taken to ensure that the project will continue to operate in the future.
Will the Mobility Project promote the New Colombo Plan in Australia and the Host location?
Applicants must demonstrate how the proposed Mobility Project will be promoted in Australia and in the Host Location to build awareness of the New Colombo Plan, its objectives, and the benefits of study and Internships in the Indo-Pacific. Examples include:
Will the Mobility Project support semester-based study opportunities in the Indo-Pacific?
Applicants must advise whether their Mobility Project involves semester-based study. This criterion requires a yes/no response.
This selection criterion will be assessed as either "met" or "not met".
Will in-country language training be provided to students in the Host Location? Yes/no
Applicants must advise whether their Mobility Project will incorporate a language training component in the Host Location.
If yes, Applicants will need to indicate the name of the provider and the name of the course (if known).
Will the Mobility Project involve an Internship component?
Applicants must advise whether their Mobility Project will incorporate an Internship component in the Host Location. See the definition of Internship under Section 15.
Note: Applicants should answer 'Yes' to this question if:
Is the Mobility Project supported by Private Sector Sponsorship?
Applicants must advise whether their Mobility Project will involve private sector in-kind and/or financial sponsorship (see Section 15). Where Applicants have Private Sector Sponsorship, evidence in the form of a letter, email or contract from the Private Sector Organisation must be provided at the time of application by uploading into ISEO.
For more information see Section 2.5 of the guidelines.
The following criterion is only applicable if the Applicant is applying for the additional $1,000 (per Student) Internship Grant as part of a semester-based Mobility Project (see Section 2.2.3). This is an eligibility criterion that will be assessed as either "eligible" or "ineligible", and does not form part of the scoring process outlined in Section 4.3.
Will the Semester-based Mobility Project incorporate an Internship component? (maximum 100 words)
Applicants must describe the proposed Internship component, including information on the potential Internship host, the proposed benefits to the participants from the Internship, the proposed duration of the Internship, confirmation that the university has considered visa requirements (if applicable), and any other relevant information.
The following criterion is only applicable if the Applicant is applying for a Multi-year Mobility Project (see Section 2.4). This is an eligibility criterion that will be assessed as either "eligible" or "ineligible", and does not form part of the scoring process outlined in Section 4.3.
How will Multi-Year Funding support the Applicant to deliver a long-term and sustainable increase in student mobility to the region that could not be facilitated by a Single-term Mobility Project? (maximum 100 words)
Applicants must describe how Multi-Year Funding will support their institutional strategy to increase and sustain student mobility to the Indo-Pacific region, including how the Multi-Year Funding will assist the Applicant to:
Mobility Projects will be selected for funding through a competitive, merit-based assessment and selection process conducted jointly by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Department of Education and Training. Funding is provided to eligible Applicants to support Mobility Projects that best represent value with public money in line with the New Colombo Plan strategic objectives.
Applications will be assessed using the following process:
Applications will then be selected for funding, to the limit of available funding, using the following process:
The Australian Government reserves the right to offer partial funding to selected applications.
A final list of Mobility Projects recommended for funding will be provided to the Program Delegates for final approval.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Minister for Tourism and International Education will be advised of the outcome prior to funding offers being made.
The above process will be used to determine a merit list of unfunded applications. This merit list may be used should additional funds become available.
The Department of Education and Training will advise International Liaison Officers (ILOs) of the outcomes of successful Application(s) with a letter of offer through ISEO. Applicants must accept or decline offers through ISEO before the date specified in the letter.
Once an offer has been made it is final and the Australian Government will not enter into negotiations about the nature of a funding offer.
After an offer is accepted, applications to vary a Mobility Project will only be considered under limited circumstances. For further information Applicants should refer to Section 6.3, or the Student Mobility variations document on ISEO.
Where a Mobility Project cannot go ahead and cannot be varied, the Australian Government will withdraw a funding offer or request that Program Funding be returned.
Applicants will apply for funding and accept or decline funding offers through ISEO.
Applicants can nominate multiple people to have access to ISEO; however the nominated ILO is the only person who can submit an Application in ISEO.
Once funding has been offered, a Funding Recipient will use ISEO to input Student details, vary Mobility Projects where necessary, and acquit Mobility Projects.
Funding Recipients must ensure the following information is always current in ISEO:
Where this information has changed from the application stage, the Funding Recipient must submit a project variation in ISEO. Funding Recipients must ensure that all details are confirmed in ISEO at least three weeks before the Mobility Project commences.
Funding Recipients must enter the following information into the Student Details Report within ISEO at least three weeks before the Mobility Project commences:
Student Details including:
Travel Details including:
Funding Recipients must indicate that all Students have consented to their information being shared with the Australian Government and other bodies in Australia and overseas (see Section 9).
This information is essential for the administration and implementation of the New Colombo Plan, including for promotion and performance monitoring, and the inclusion of Students in the Australian Government Alumni Network and the New Colombo Plan alumni network and other related functions and events held in Australia and overseas. Where information is not provided, universities and students may miss out on these opportunities.
Funding Recipients will be required to enter into Deed for Student Mobility Programmes (Deed). If a Funding Recipient does not currently have a Deed under which this funding may be provided, then a Deed will need to be entered into.
Funding Recipients will also be required to enter into an agreement for each Mobility Project. In order to conclude an agreement for a Mobility Project, a Project Schedule (as defined in the Deed) will need to be agreed between the parties (according to the terms of the Deed).
The agreement for a Mobility Project will contain an obligation that both parties must comply with these Guidelines, which may be amended by the Australian Government from time to time. To the extent of any inconsistency between the agreement and the Guidelines, the agreement will prevail.
If a Mobility Project commences before the Project Schedule is executed, the Australian Government will not be liable for any expenditure incurred before the date of execution.
In the case of underperformance against the requirements of an agreement for a Mobility Project, the Australian Government may take remedial action including:
A request for variation to a funding agreement will only be considered if it:
Funding Recipients considering a variation to the funding agreement should first consider the information provided in the New Colombo Plan Mobility Program Variations Guide available on ISEO.
Variation requests that the Australian Government considers to be a new project proposal will not be approved.
All Mobility Projects are required to be acquitted through the submission of a completion report in ISEO by the relevant acquittal date. A completion report for each Mobility Project must include:
Funding Recipients may also provide any feedback they have received formally or informally about the Mobility Project, including from participants.
Once the completion report has been accepted by the Department of Education and Training, Funding Recipients are required to submit a statutory declaration to the Department of Education and Training indicating that all funding has been spent in accordance with the funding agreement, and, if applicable, any unspent funds have been refunded to the Department of Education and Training.
A Funding Recipient may request an extension of the Completion Date at the discretion of the Department of Education and Training.
Multi-year Mobility Projects must submit a separate completion report for each term of funding offered, including a statutory declaration. The Department of Education and Training will not make payments for the second or third term of a Mobility Project until the completion report and student details from the previous term have been received.
Where a Funding Recipient does not use at least 80 per cent of the total Student Grant funding offered in a particular year and a variation is not approved, the Australian Government reserves the right to withhold funding in the following year, offset the unspent amount against the following year funding allocation or request a refund.
Where a Funding Recipient has used 80 per cent or more of the total Student Grant funding offered in a particular year, the Funding Recipient may be given the opportunity to rollover the remaining unspent funding (20 per cent) into the following year of the Multi-year project rather than returning the unspent funding to the Department. A variation will be required.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Department of Education and Training administer the New Colombo Plan Mobility Program together.

FUDGE (this is Tammy's favorite fudge recipes)
16 oz chocolate (We like the organic dark chocolate in the bulk bin at Central Market – it has less sugar. Be sure to check the ingredients in your chocolate!)
1 cup canned coconut milk (Canned coconut milk is very thick and works better than cartons of coconut milk in this recipes. Or, if you have access to raw cream, you could use that. We like to order it from Green PolkaDot Box, because they have the BEST prices! And shopping online is SO convenient and saves gas and time.)
2 T honey (We use <1 T, and add about 10 drops of Stevita Stevia. You could just use stevia, and omit the honey.)
1 tsp flavoring (We use homemade vanilla. Vanilla makes the fudge taste sweeter. If you use other flavorings, be sure to read the ingredients and choose one without excito-toxins in it. "Flavoring" is usually an excitotoxin.)
1 cup raw nuts – your choice – pecans, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts…. beware: cashews and pistachios are higher in starch
Melt chocolate and coconut milk together over very low heat (it's not necessary to use a double boiler, but you DO have to use low heat and stir often). Stir often, because the chocolate will retain it's shape until it is stirred, so it could burn before you notice. Remove from heat. Stir in sweetener, flavoring, and nuts. Transfer to a pan (approximately 8×8, depending on how thick or thin you want it). Refrigerate till firm. These will get soft at room temperature, so it's best to store them in the frig.
DARK CHOCOLATE NO-BAKE COOKIES (I call it "fudge")
Adapted from a recipes by www.biteoflifeblog.com
1/4 cup dark chocolate (chips or any kind of plain dark chocolate bar; organic is better; get one with as little sugar as possible; I prefer the organic chocolate chips in the bulk bins at Central Market)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds (I soak mine overnight in whey water from BORGtammystewart.my90forlife.com then dehydrate them in the oven with the oven light on)
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
2 TBS almond butter (I get mine from http://www.greenpolkadotbox.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/9966/ )
1 banana, mashed
1 TBS cacao chips* (this is optional… it doesn't add flavor, but a nice crunch; I get these from GPDB, too)
1 TBS canned coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sea salt (this creates the salty sweet combo – yum)
1 TBS coconut palm sugar or honey (I tried both and like brown sugar the best)
BUT – if you're on the Cellular Healing Diet, you need to use stevia instead of sugar or honey. The banana is very sweet, so you won't need much.
How it's done:
1. In a small bowl, combine the seeds, pecans, and cacao chips.
2. In a small saucepan, combine all other ingredients (EXCEPT banana) and stir together over low heat just until melted, being careful not to burn the chocolate (if you smell it, it's probably burnt). Stir continuously until melted and combined. If you don't stir, the chocolate will never look melted, it will just burn. This mixture will be thick.
3. Remove from heat and add banana, mashing and stirring until the mixture is shiny and the lumps are gone.
4. Pour over seed mixture and stir together to create a "dough".
5. Spoon 8-10 cookies onto parchment paper and place in the freezer for 45 minutes or until firm.
6. I sprinkled shredded coconut over some of mine for a festive look.
NOTE: Keep frozen until just before serving. They melt pretty quickly. I leave mine out for 2-3 minutes before eating and they're perfect!
by Heather Hosilyk on Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 3:03pm
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups Brown Rice Cereal
In a saucepan, melt and stir the peanut butter and honey together. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Stir in Crispy Rice Cereal. Spread in a 9×9 inch pan and allow to cool.
For fun, you could add 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips as you're stirring in the cereal.
I love that this recipes is gluten free, easy, fast, healthier and crunchy! This is such a simple snack to throw together and take to parties.
The quantities here will make about 4-6 servings, so adjust appropriately if you don't want leftovers. To make this healthy chocolate dessert, first mix together in a bowl:
• 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt (choose either the 2% or the full fat — remember, don't be afraid of fats, as they help balance hormones and provide satiety which lowers appetite overall… Greek yogurt is MUCH higher in protein than normal style yogurt, and also tastes creamier!)
• 1 cup of ricotta cheese (I passed on the fat-free and chose the part skim… I also was able to find ricotta from grass-fed cows at Whole Foods)
• 1 scoop of chocolate protein — I like to use grass-fed raw cold processed
• 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 3 Tbsp raw cocao nibs — these pieces of 100% pure cocao add tremendous nutrition to the recipes and also a great crunchy chocolate taste (nibs are harder to find than cocoa powder, but can be found at most health food stores or specialty food stores)
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup almond slivers
• 2 Tbsp each of chia seeds and hemp seeds (optional, but adds TONS of nutrition and a nice nutty taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• a couple packets of natural stevia to sweeten
After mixing all of these ingredients thoroughly in a bowl, top off your individual servings with any kind of berries (raspberries and/or strawberries go excellent with this recipes!)
You now have a great much healthier alternative to chocolate desserts… one that is high in protein, fiber, and tons of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants… but is also incredibly delicious!
This recipes is simple and easy to modify. Once you have made it, you won't believe how easy it is to make your own raw chocolates and fudge! What's more, the healthiest chocolate ever! The crowds will go wild!!
½ Cup Sunfood Cacao Powder (raw cocoa powder)
¼ Cup Raw Honey
¾ Cup Coconut Oil
Dash of Sea Salt
1. Melt Coconut Oil in a double boiler over low heat.
2. Once the Coconut Oil is completely melted, stir in Sunfood Cacao Powder, Raw Honey, and Sea Salt.
3. Mix thoroughly with a whisk until combined.
4. Pour the mixture onto wax paper, or spoon into ice cube trays or chocolate molds and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to set. Remove fudge from trays and enjoy!
– For a richer flavor, add 1 Tablespoon Sunfood Maca Powder in step 2.
– For a sweet touch, after pouring the chocolate into molds or onto wax paper, sprinkle with Sunfood Goldenberries or Sunfood Goji Berries.
– For added crunch, after pouring the chocolate into molds or onto wax paper, sprinkle with Sunfood Cacao Nibs.
– Tammy's note: when using coconut oil, this "fudge" has to be kept in the frig. Otherwise, it will get VERY soft, and the honey will separate.
This is my new favorite candy! I've made them twice. The 2nd time I actually invested about 5 extra minutes to sproud the sunflower and pumpkin seeds! I put them in a bowl and covered with plenty of water and left them on the counter overnight. The next morning I drained/rinsed them, spread them on my stone in a warm oven an hour or two till they were dry, then used them in this recipes.
You can get many of these ingredients at greenpolkadotbox.com (Please DO use that link, which is our affiliate link.) They have the BEST prices and you can get free shipping and you don't have to drive to the grocery store and walk up and down the aisles searching for what you want! It saves time, which is priceless!!
Coconut manna is super good. I spread it on "Mary's" crackers. The only ingredients is usually coconut. It's kind of like peanut butter, but it's coconut instead. It does NOT have a very strong coconut taste.
When I finish chilling these (the coconut oil makes them too soft if they aren't stored chilled), I store them in a jar in the frig.
Cacao Kapows are like a chocolate-coconut hug to the taste buds. These inviting little treats will cause you ask yourself, "How could something so good, be so healthy?" Enjoy!10/28/12 Cacao Kapows kitchen.nutiva.com/cacao-kapows/ 2/3

2-3 Tbsp raw pumpkin seeds (optional)
2-3 Tbsp raw sunflower seeds (optional)
Tbsp organic raisins (optional) (I used dried tart cherries)
1 tsp maca powder (optional) (I didn't use this)

I can't even write the word "swirl" without laughing. C'mon now, you know it sounds funny. The word is a bit funny, but it is a serious and timely subject. Basically, it is said to mean a black woman dating a white man. It has astounded me that there are books, websites, matchmakers, personal coaches, groups, clubs, and tons of social gatherings dedicated to helping get your swirl going.
According to the 2010 census out of the 4,267,000 married black women 168,000 are married to white men. That's 4.1 percent of married black women. Even more shocking is that out of 51.5 million white women only 398,000 are married to black men. That's .0075 percent of white women. It kind of makes you rethink the whole idea that black women aren't dating and marrying outside the proverbial color box.
Until recently, I never even heard of the term. I have to laugh because unbeknownst to me I was swirling and didn't even know it! My friends and I just called it interracial dating. That's what we called it the day the topic came up at lunch. The question was asked if anyone had dated outside their race. My lunch mates' responses of never dating outside their race didn't surprise me. However, my response that I've always dated outside my race and had just recently started dating black men caused silence to descend over the table. They were so quiet it seemed like I could hear their heartbeats. I admit I was prepared for this and the questions that followed, but I wasn't prepared for learning that my friends weren't comfortable with me stepping outside the box.
We had often discussed men we were attracted to from all races, but the dating issue never arose. They had assumed that I only dated my own race and I had assumed they were open to dating outside their race. The questions they threw at me made my head spin.
The only questioned I asked was "Why don't you explore the options of dating different races?"
The answers to my question were "Just never wanted to.", "Too much trouble.", "I don't believe in it." and "I don't know." I was a bit disappointed with the answers. I had thought they were a bit more open-minded. Swallowing my disappointment I proceeded to answer their questions.
Swirling, interracial dating, jungle fever or whatever label you decide to use isn't for everyone. However, being a black female I see it as an opportunity to increase my pool of eligible men. Some will be supportive and let you know. Others will disapprove and you'll have to grow thick skin. You may run into negativity, but remember any relationship is prone to this from others regardless of the race you decide to date. The only thing that matters is that you date someone who you have something in common with, share mutual respect, and makes you happy. It's your choice to swirl or not to swirl.
(This is one person's experience in the interracial dating world. All experiences are different.)

Domestic and Overseas Exhibitors Revel in Upbeat Las Vegas Market

- Photo: The 2019 Winter Las Vegas Market: Pent-up demand triggering robust sales.
With all talk of tariffs seemingly shunted to the sidelines, the sentiment at the Winter 2019 Las Vegas Market was notably on the positive side, with the 50,000 gathered furniture, home decor and gift buyers only too keen to open their wallets.
With its entrance wrapped in a giant portrait of the Scott Brothers – the Canadian-born real-estate reality TV stars – the Winter 2019 Las Vegas Market welcomed more than 50,000 furniture, home-decor and gift professionals. Typically, they were all looking to stock up after a busy holiday season and particularly bullish with regard to the prospects of the coming summer.
Tellingly, this upbeat sentiment seemed to characterise both domestic and international exhibitors. Typical of the latter was Kevin Castellani, Director of Communications for Man Wah, a Hong Kong-based furniture manufacturer. Clearly pleased with the reception his company had received at the event, he said: "We're definitely up in attendance. We registered 10.4% more companies on Saturday and 19% more on Sunday.
"We're ascribing this to both 2018's strong fourth-quarter trading and to the buoyancy of the first few weeks of 2019. As a result, there's a need out there for inventory. At the same time, I'm hearing a lot less concern about tariffs, while there appears to be a bit more certainty as to what the options might be going forward. Thankfully, there seems to be pent-up demand. On top of that, we came to market with a lot of introductions and we are now doing more goods and better-quality goods."
Colour Trends
Apart from its ample and ever-expanding exhibition space, of course, the event once again played host to a series of industry seminars and workshops. One of the most-well attended of these came courtesy of Tom Mirabile, Consumer Trend Forecaster for the International Housewares Association and one of the Pantone Color Institute's Contributing Editors. Charged with introducing the Institute's Colour of the Year, he said: "For 2019, it's Living Coral – an animated, life-affirming shade of orange with golden undertones.
"While it's an evocative colour – and great for bringing out emotions – it's also important not to lose track of the more general trends, such as the move towards softness and comfort, hence the return of rounded corners, shag rugs and overstuffed cushions, as well as the departure from the more sharp and the explicitly modern. As a result, mineral colours, which give the feel of items dug up from clay, while exhibiting sandy and flesh tones, as well as softer textures, are going to be popular. At the same time, pink and pumpkin shades are also going to be very much on trend."
Turning more to the apparel and gift sectors, Mirabile signalled a likely departure from earthy tones to more in favour of a space-travel theme, saying: "This will translate into iridescent and metallic colours, as well as high-tech materials, while also manifesting in oxidised finishes in metallics, fumed finishes and metallicised black, particularly in the case of kitchen appliances and products specifically designed with men in mind.
"In terms of trending combinations, it's going to be teal and wine as well as deep jewel – a palette that includes inky burgundies and purple-infused blues. In terms of furniture, it's going to be tonal reds – as in more than one red – while the classic black-and-white combo is moving more towards white and grey."
Gifts and Home
One of the fastest-growing segments at the Market continues to be Gifts and Home, which, this year, extended across 450,000 square feet of showrooms and temporary exhibits. This saw buyers able to shop for a beguilingly wide selection of products, ranging from high-concept designer items to more beach store-friendly material.
In this particular sector, one of the clear stand-out spaces belonged to Ameico, a Connecticut-based distributor specialising in global contemporary design. According to the staff on its stand, buyers were particularly intrigued by a number of somewhat quirky and relatively novel Japanese concepts, most notably house slippers.
While far from being a staple of most American homes, they certainly seemed to pique the interest of the 30-and-above demographic, with General Manager Jeannette Purdy saying: "This product did very well throughout the holiday season. We find that this particular generation appreciates deliberation in design and in their own lives."
It was the concept of adult play, however, that was helping to shift units for Areaware, a New York-based distributor. Intriguingly, it was another Japanese product – Cubebots – that was proving to be most in demand.
Apparently of particular appeal to nerdy 30-40-year-olds, these wooden toy robots can apparently lead users into segueing into Blockitecture, a more grown-up take on wooden construction toys that allow you to build whole table-top cities in a variety of architectural styles. Assessing the appeal of such diversions, Domestic Brand Manager Elisabeth Roeleveld said: "We're seeing a real trend towards sustainable toys that are thoughtfully designed and well made. We're also noticing larger orders for fidget toys and desk objects from quite an eclectic group of buyers."
The epithets "sustainable" and "well-made" could be equally applied to the felt toys and ornaments on offer from Silk Road Bazaar, a Los Angeles-based distributor of ethically sourced Eastern European products. Despite the Christmas holidays being some 10 months distant, buyers still flocked to pick up iconic images of Shakespeare, Einstein and Frida Kahlo (a famous 20th century Mexican portrait painter), all hand-crafted in colourful felt by Kyrgyzstan craftswomen.
Perhaps surprisingly, the most popular be-felted famous person was Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the 86-year-old Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, complete with her iconic wire glasses and a black robe. Explaining why the venerable lady judge was quite so much in demand, Andrew Kuschner, the Bazaar's Director General, said: "She's such an inspiration – we sold thousands of her last year."
Craftsmanship was also the key selling point over on the stand of the Minnesota-based Gather Table Company, where keen interior designers could be seen eyeing custom-made hardwood tables crafted to be passed down through the generations. Explaining the appeal of the company's high-end furniture, Founding Partner Taylor Feero said: "A dining table is pretty much the centrepiece of family life and the focal point for lots of memories. As such, you really don't want to just discard it – it should have a lasting and lingering presence."
Starting life as a garage-based cottage industry, the company has now established a distinct niche among high-end consumers. Despite the famously mobile nature of many American families, Feero still believes the company's tables are destined for a long life, especially as they are eminently suitable for re-staining and resurfacing in line with changing times and styles.
On the funky and less serious side of the spectrum, meanwhile, many retailers uncovered one of the true hits of the season – the iridescent see-through purses available from Florida-based Vere. Not only on trend and in line with the season's coming space theme, they are also said to be eminently suited for use at those concerts and events where only clear bags are permissible.
Expanding upon their appeal, Co-founder Janet Cao said: "As they're made out of thermoplastic polyurethane, they're biodegradable and non-toxic. Our customers also love the fact that they're stylish while also being good for the environment."
The 2019 Winter Las Vegas Market took place from 27-31 January at the Las Vegas World Market Center.

Monster High Party
This time I had a bit less to do than for the Princess party, but nevertheless it took from my a few night sleep.
I got a little panic attack when I realized, that I haven't got a black fabric to cover the table, so I actually used a Duvet cover with some Eastern symbols.
I made lots of banners that all the girls were ecstatic about. and once again used pink princess canopy.
To ensure that overly buttered popcorn doesn't make grease stains on my packets, I lined them with plastic wrap.
I was quite exhausted after this, but now I'm ready to do some other crafting...
