For the majority of students enrolled in classes, ACCEPTED financial aid will automatically be credited to student bills 10 days prior to the start of classes – each semester. Exceptions include the following:
Registration fees are typically due prior to when financial aid can be released; as a result, your financial aid will show as "Pending Financial Aid" and will defer payment of your fees until your aid can be released. Your pending financial aid is the amount of aid CSULB expects to credit to your student account; it is displayed on MyCSULB (and your bill) so that you can see how much aid is anticipated and how much you will need to pay toward your account balance.
In order to have your financial aid released (or disbursed for payment of university – related charges), there are a few steps you need to take:
All funds are released to Student Financial Services – and applied toward any outstanding university-related charges (including any installment plans). The primary (or first) possible date funds can be released (grants, loans, and CSULB scholarship aid) is 10 days prior to the first day of classes – each semester.
|First Possible Release of Funds
(Grant, Loan, CSULB Scholarship Aid)
|Fall 2016
|August 12, 2016
|Spring 2017
|January 13, 2017
After the above dates, financial aid is released on a nightly basis throughout each semester.
Federal Work-study, Perkins Loans, Private loans, and Scholarship aid from non-CSULB sources follow a different schedule:
|Award Type
|Disbursement Requirements
|Federal Work-Study
|Award amount must be "earned." Disbursement depends upon hours worked, and follows the CSULB payroll calendar
|Perkins Loan
|Release of funds occurs after the end of the add/drop period (or "Census") – each semester (typically during the 6th week of classes).
|Non-CSULB Scholarships
|Release of funds is dependent upon the when the scholarship funds are received from the funding agency. Once funds have been received at CSULB, they will be prepared for release (will not occur prior to the "primary" release date each semester)
|Private Loans
|Release of funds is dependent upon the when the loan funds are received at CSULB from the lender. Once funds have been received at CSULB, they will be prepared for release (will not occur prior to the "primary" release date each semester).
Release of your financial aid funds is contingent on your financial aid file status AND your enrollment. If your file is not complete in time for the first possible release of funds – we will release your awards once your file has been completed (and reviewed), all items on your To-Do list have been cleared, and you have registered for your classes (half-time status is required for financial aid to disburse).
The following are examples of reasons your financial aid funds may not be disbursed as scheduled:
Once your financial aid has been applied toward any outstanding charges (including installment plans), any remaining portion will be issued as a Financial Aid Disbursement (refund). CSULB financial aid disbursements are issued via direct deposit through the university's eRefund process. Review the eRefund Guide for instructions on signing up for eRefund.NOTE: It takes up to 3 business days from the date your financial aid is released to Student Financial Services for the remaining money (your financial aid disbursement) to show in your bank account.

Amino's cost estimates are estimates of the total amount that you and your health insurance company might pay for a procedure—this is what we call the "network rate". Our cost estimates can help you prepare for the financial impact of medical care and help you make more confident decisions about where to get treated.
To give you an overview of Dr. Higgins's practice experience, we show you the most common reasons for his patients' visits in the past two years.
We determine patients' reasons for visit using the medical billing codes that appear on the electronic health insurance claims from their interactions with Dr. Higgins. Because there are tens of thousands of unique medical billing codes used to describe different types of health care interactions, Amino groups billing codes that describe similar health conditions or procedures into a single category that we display on our website with a user-friendly name (e.g. "diabetes", "asthma", "knee replacement").
We count each distinct patient only once for any given reason for visit, but the same patient may be counted toward multiple reasons for visit if Dr. Higgins treated that patient for multiple reasons.
Not all of Dr. Higgins's patients' reasons for visit are reported here. We display only the most common reasons that patients visited Dr. Higgins. We also choose not to report some reasons for visit, such as symptoms that aren't associated with a specific medical diagnosis. For this reason, our experience analysis for Dr. Higgins is not a comprehensive view of every type of patient he may have treated in the past two years.
Dr. Higgins sees patients and can be reached at the following locations.
Dr. Higgins is able to admit and treat patients at the following hospitals.

Contact the human resources department of the health care organization to which you are interested in applying. Ask if the organization offers a formalized program for new graduates that extends beyond the traditional orientation and precepted experience. If the organization offers a program, obtain information about the structure, length, and requirements for participation.
Because this is a federally funded program, organizations interested in bringing this program on site should contact the WNRP project office.
Organizations that offer the WNRP have reported a significant increase in new graduate nurse retention rates after implementation of the program. Organizational stakeholders have noted improvements in new graduates' critical thinking, enhanced performance, increased involvement in the organization and earlier assumption of leadership roles. New graduates have reported decreased sense of isolation, increased confidence in clinical decision-making, expanded clinical knowledge, and enhanced ability to access and use appropriate resources.
Driven by the key components of the preceptor role, the workshops provide preceptors with the tools they can use in real-time practice. Using a highly interactive format that includes simulation learning, preceptors have the opportunity to perform these newly learned skills and obtain feedback, thus increasing their ability to translate them to the clinical unit.

Who The Heck is Justin Schultz?
Jeff Angus
March 15 2012 09:53AM
If you have somehow managed to avoid hearing Justin Schultz's name in recent days, don't expect it to continue. The top defenseman in the entire NCAA (and currently property of the Anaheim Ducks) is weighing his options for next season. Why is this news to Canucks fans? Well, Schultz played a year of junior hockey (in the BCHL) after being drafted, and there is a loophole in the current NHL CBA that allows him to become an unrestricted free agent this summer (with a limit on how much he could earn on his first professional contract).
Read past the jump for more!
As Chuck Schwartz (who we spoke to recently about Joseph Labate), explained on "Bucky's 5th Quarter" earlier this week:
"The NHL CBA has a loophole that says if you officially withdraw from school (simply has to tell [Wisconsin] he's leaving) and it's the fourth summer after you've been drafted, you can choose to become a free agent."
Why should this news have Canucks fans excited? For one, Schultz is a dynamic defenseman who has the potential to be a game-changing force in the NHL. He's one of the best prospects in hockey. Two, he is from Kelowna and has BCHL roots - so he's a "local kid". And finally, the Canucks pulled a similar move two summers ago, signing college free agent Bill Sweatt to an entry-level deal, after he spurned both Chicago and Toronto. It is obviously not a route they're shy about pursuing.
And they really should pursue Schultz if he becomes available. The Canucks aren't necessarily "in need" of more puck-moving defenseman, but Schultz is clearly a few levels above promising youngster Kevin Connauton in terms of current ability and all-around upside. Schultz also possesses more two-way upside than Gragnani, and more offensive upside than Chris Tanev. While Alex Edler has a dangerous, hard shot from the point and is a phenomenal passer, he probably isn't a "true power play quarterback" (although he's on pace for more than 50 points – I may be getting a tad picky with my definition). Justin Schultz, however, is.
Schultz may want to sign somewhere with the potential to play right away, and that could happen in Vancouver, despite the team's blueline depth. For one thing, Head Coach Alain Vigneault has stuck to his word of playing the players who earn their ice time, though I know a few reading this may disagree with that statement. For another, Justin Schultz seems like a player who is ready to handle a top-four role in the NHL next season.
For one thing, he's played the last three seasons for Mike Eaves and the Wisconsin Badgers. The Badgers have had their fair share of young defensemen successfully make the leap to pro hockey in recent years, in fact, they've become something of an assembly line. So I asked Chuck Schwartz, how Schultz compares with his former teammates (and current NHLers) Jake Gardiner, Ryan McDonagh, and Brendan Smith?
"While Gardiner, McDonagh, Smith, and Schultz are all excellent defensemen, they all have different traits. Schultz is most like Gardiner, in that they are excellent puck movers with elite skating ability. Both Gardiner and Schultz can jump up in the play, and are both outstanding with the puck on their sticks.
Smith and Schultz both posses outstanding skills with the puck, but Smith has a harder shot from the point, where as Schultz has more of a quick, accurate shot. Smith is more likely to shoot off the pass, where as Schultz is likely to quarterback a power play, and set things up.
McDonagh is the least like Schultz in terms of playing style. McDonagh is a physical rock of a defenseman that is turning onto one of the NHL's more effective stay at home blue-liners. Schultz is still growing defensively, but his offensive upside is considerably higher than McDonagh's."
Let's check out some numbers. In the table below are Justin Schultz's NHL Equivalency numbers (NHLE), or league translation numbers. Here's the method for translating production between hockey leagues, but it's based on math done originally by Gabriel Desjardins of Behind the Net. Basically every NCAA point is worth .41 points in the NHL and the numbers in the table below are prorated over an 82 game pace:
|Justin Schultz NHLE
That certainly looks like the production of an "NHL ready" prospect to me. To get a better picture of Schultz's overall game I once again consulted Chuck Schwartz and asked him about Schultz's NHL readiness. The review he gave was glowing:
"No question that Schultz is NHL ready right now. In my opinion he's unquestionably the top blue-liner playing college hockey right now. Remember that Schultz was a first -team All-American last season, and was widely considered to have a better season than Gardiner, who has had a pretty nice rookie season in Toronto. He's ready to make the move."
For a second opinion, we got at Corey Pronman, an NHL Draft and Hockey Prospects writer for ESPN and Hockey Prospectus. In the past, Pronman has described Schultz as a "filthy good" defenseman who "doesn't belong in College" and has a "high-end" ability to "make plays at both ends and control the game." In particular we asked Pronman if Schultz was ready, not just to play in the NHL, but to play top-4 minutes on a team that values puck-possession like the Canucks do. Here's what he told us:
"It is always hard to tell because it's such a huge jump from the NCAA to the NHL. I lean towards saying yes, but with a decent amount of uncertainty. He's a possession defender though without a doubt between his tremendous hockey sense and skill level so Vancouver would love him."
Schultz isn't another Matt Gilroy or Tyler Bozak – both quality hockey players who were somewhat overhyped as undrafted free-agents out of college. Schultz was an NHL draft pick and he has been widely regarded as an elite prospect for the past few years. In Vancouver, we are really only hearing about him now largely because he plays at Wisconsin, and the Ducks prospect group doesn't receive a whole lot of league wide coverage.
Obviously all of this speculation and excitement will be a let down if Schultz decides to sign an entry-level contract with Anaheim before the end of the season. But is that likely to happen, or will Schultz choose to become an unrestricted free-agent? Turning once again to Chuck Schwartz, who covers the team as closely as anybody, it looks as if all signs are pointing to Schultz hitting the open market:
Well, from what I've been told it's not a question of 'if' he's going to choose the UFA route, but simply a matter of what team he'll sign with. I was not told what teams would be considered, but you have to think that Vancouver would have to be a favorite given their proximity to his home town of Kelowna.
Many people are speculating about Toronto given his connections to Brian Burke and Gardiner. It wouldn't totally surprise me, but Toronto is fairly deep on the blue-line, and I'm assuming wherever he lands, it will be a spot where he has a guaranteed spot on the NHL roster.
If Schultz becomes an unrestricted free-agent on July 1st, expect Gillis and the Canucks (and 29 other GMs) to pursue Schultz aggressively. After all, it's not every day that one finds a twenty-two year old, NHL ready defenseman, with 1A upside on the open market.
Schultz wants to get paid. For him to be able to get the money, he needs to stick to the NHL roster with no chance of being sent down, that includes being a healthy scratch.
the way AV runs the team, that won't happen to a rookie, who hasn't proven anything to him.

Nor should it.
So, if I'm reading this right, the guess as to why he isn't yet in the NHL is because he has been putting off signing an ELC with Anaheim? Or is there a chance that Anaheim has been putting it off?
Great article!
@antro - I would think it's because he doesn't want to play with the Ducks, and if he knows he's good enough to get resigned elsewhere, why not try for a better team.
This article is good and all... but has there actually been any interest by the Canucks on Schultz?
They can't officially show interest to a player who has his rights owned by another club.
Charles Swartz slightly discounts the possibility of Schultz signing with Toronto as "Toronto is fairly deep on the blue-line, and I'm assuming wherever he lands, it will be a spot where he has a guaranteed spot on the NHL roster." Doesn't the same apply to Vancouver and, given the potential of the Canucks' development programme, is Mike Gillis the type of GM to offer a "guaranteed" NHL roster spot to a rookie? As you point out, the mantra has always been that the players who perform get to play (I did notice your unspoken caveat above) so I can imagine that GMMG would try to sell him on the idea that he will have a great chance to "compete" for a roster spot in his rookie year. Never-the-less, an interesting speculation on a very interesting player. I will be watching with interest to see where it all falls out.
he can't sign his ELC because he's still in college and that would make him ineligible to keep playing in NCAA due to their rules.
How, exactly, do you know that he "wants to be paid?" Just as easily he wants to choose where he plays - fit, team, location, etc.
i don't but the majority of young players who have never played in the pro hockey in their entire life want money right away. it's a guess but a very good guess. if he wanted to play in a particular location, why would he have choose wisconsin? he could have still went to school while playing the in WHL.
bottom line he wants to play in the show and stick, like the majority of other college poached FA's
You had me until you quoted Corey Pronman. Guy's not a scout.

"If he wanted to play in a particular location, why would heave chosen Wisconsin?" Have you ever thought that Wisconsin could be that particular location? It's a good school with an excellent hockey coach and solid system.
In fact, if he wanted money, he would've already left school for a pro contract. If he thinks he is as good as he is, then he would be already up playing in the NHL. I don't think it's about the money.
did you even read what i wrote? he could have done it in the WHL which also has good coaches/systems and also good schools around certain cities. there are also better hockey school/schools in general then wisconsin, IMO and i'm sure many people would agree.
and for money, waiting = more money when you're dealing with ELC's, especially when you're not a top 5 draft pick.

Skip to comments.Senate probes clash over CIA reports on Iraq arms (Iraqi official who told U.S. that Iraq had WMD)
Posted on 09/16/2006 3:30:59 PM PDT by ikez78
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. Senate panel has begun an inquiry to determine what a top official in Saddam Hussein's government told the CIA about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction in late 2002 as the Bush administration made its case for war. ADVERTISEMENT
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence said in a September 8 report that it launched the investigation after the CIA's former chief of European clandestine operations appeared on the CBS' "60 Minutes" news magazine in April. The official, Tyler Drumheller, told CBS that the Iraqi government source had said Iraq had no active unconventional weapons program.
Drumheller's disclosure contradicted spy agency documents quoting the same Iraqi source as saying Saddam did have such programs, according to an addendum to the Senate report written by three Republican senators including chairman Pat Roberts of Kansas.
"We have differing interpretations, and I think mine's right," Drumheller, who has already testified on the matter before the committee, told Reuters on Friday. Drumheller is preparing to publish a book about his 26-year career that will include material on Iraq and the U.S. war on terrorism.
The Iraqi official, identified by CBS as former Foreign Minister Naji Sabri, also told the CIA that Iraq considered al Qaeda a longtime enemy and had "no past, current or anticipated future contact" with Osama bin Laden, the senators said.
The CIA did not pass that along to policymakers, the senators said. Nor was it disseminated to intelligence analysts. That was because CIA officials concluded the Iraqi official's comments on al Qaeda were nothing new, the senators said.
The CIA gained access to the source in Saddam's inner circle in September 2002, as President George W. Bush warned Americans that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction posed an imminent threat and that Saddam had ties to the al Qaeda network responsible for the September 11 attacks.
The United States invaded Iraq six months later. But U.S. troops have found no such weapons there. The Senate report, echoing earlier findings by the September 11 commission, also concludes that Saddam Hussein had no relationship with al Qaeda.
Drumheller's televised comments lent support to allegations that the administration focused on intelligence which backed its case for war with Iraq while ignoring contradictory reports.
But in the Senate report, which compares prewar Iraq intelligence with postwar findings, the Republican senators said a CIA operations cable and an intelligence report to high-level policymakers both contradict Drumheller.
"The committee has not completed its inquiry," Roberts said in an additional views addendum co-authored with Sen. Orrin Hatch (news, bio, voting record) of Utah and Sen. Saxby Chambliss (news, bio, voting record) of Georgia. All three are staunch White House allies.
"All of the information about this case so far indicates that the information from this source was that Iraq did have WMD programs," they wrote.
Drumheller said Saddam had no fissile material for bomb-making and that chemical munitions posed little danger because they had been dispersed in small numbers to political leaders across the country.
"There was no prospect of an immediate attack from any kind of weapon like this," he said.
The Iraqi official had told the CIA the only weapons program not fully active was a biological weapons program he described as amateur, the senators said in the report.
FReepers know better than this. And we have the links to prove it :)
The Senate report is a bunch of BS.
What a bunch of crapola this whole article is!!!
Bush NEVER, EVER said there was an imminent threat by Saddam..AND it tries to say that Bush linked Saddam to 9/11.
Enough said.
Oh, yeah..I forgot..you are right, the Senate Report is as bad as Reuters.
BTW...we have a thread today, with an article written by Stephen Hayes...HE and Brandon Miniter are 10 times more knowledgable than the writer of this article..
AND the Senate Intel Committee that has set out to FRAME Pres. Bush from the start.
Can you post a link to the Hayes article. I'd like to readit and I'm sure others will also. Thanks!
So the dems are basing their argument on one guys interpretation instead of all the documents?
I'm tired of arguments about the wisdom of invading Iraq. It happened, it's over, and there are more pressing matters in front of us now.
Never believe a guy who's trying to sell his book.
Here is the one today by Hitchens:
I may have thought Hayes was today...I will search for it and post in a bit.
Here is the Stephen Hayes article:
BOTH of them are very good, this one and the Hitchens one.
pop...WE ALL ARE!!!
BUT, that is the only thing the DEMS and MSM seem to think they can "pin" on Bush..
Plamegate fell apart..
Thanks for the link.
"President George W. Bush warned Americans that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction posed an imminent threat and that Saddam had ties to the al Qaeda network responsible for the September 11 attacks."
Absolute RUBBISH, absolutely UNTRUE!!
The Bush Administration and the President's lawyers should write a letter to Reuters demanding they retract or correct the statement that the President said the threat was imminent which he did not. After all, as with the Path to 9-11, the Clinton people expressed a concern, and the media agreed, that inaccurate statements shouldn't be attributed to "real" people. I'm sure we can expect to read Reuters and all other media outlets correct the record in the interest of the public. Read as sarcasm..big time!
The left's whitewashing, dis-information campaigns will continue. All we can do is attempt to share info to counter their claims. As for the Senate. What can one say. They could not even include a lot of important things in the original 9/11 report due to their ineptness, and willingness to create a document that whitewashed and protected the Clintoons from embarresment. Able Danger anyone.
Look through this list of free republic articles on Saddam, Several of which include references to his WMD programs.
The most interesting are the ones pertaining to his detonation of a low yield nuclear device and his use of political prisoners to clean up the debris after and then be entombed. Check the Gwynne Roberts article.
Sure, why not! It's not like the Senate has anything better to do. /sarc
Not true.
I am sure, with Reuter's propensity for posting FAKE pictures, they just don't mind posting FAKE NEWS!
H@ll the European CIA told the US he had WMD..the question is who wasn't deceived?
Just gotta keep digging. Undermining the U.S is a msm and liberal occupation.
Okay, I just got home and haven't read the whole thread so forgive me if someone else already posted this, but this guy is a liar and it was proven in the Senate Intelligence Report recently released:
In a "60 Minutes" interview on April 23, Tyler Drumheller, a former chief of the CIA's Europe division, made a sensational charge.
He claimed that President Bush and his White House ignored intelligence before the invasion of Iraq indicating that Saddam Hussein had no had weapons of mass destruction.
On the CBS-TV show, and in subsequent media interviews that appeared throughout the world, Drumheller said that the White House was excited about the fact that the CIA was getting information straight from Naji Sabri, the then Iraqi foreign minister. But when the White House found out this source was reliably saying that Saddam had no WMD, Bush and his White House weren't interested.
"He [Sabri] told us that they had no active weapons of mass destruction program," Drumheller told correspondent Ed Bradley in a segment called "A Spy Speaks Out."
"So in the fall of 2002, before going to war, we had it on good authority from a source within Saddam's inner circle that he didn't have an active program for weapons of mass destruction?" Bradley asked.
"Yes," Drumheller said, proclaiming himself outraged.
According to Drumheller, Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice brushed aside the CIA report on what Sabri had to say because "the policy was set. The war in Iraq was coming, and they were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy, to justify the policy."
Drumheller saw "how the Bush administration time and time again welcomed intelligence that fit the president's determination to go to war and turned a blind eye to intelligence that did not," Ed Bradley said in the introduction to the "60 Minutes" piece.
Now it appears Drumheller's claim was untrue, according to the findings of a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence investigation. Rather than undercutting the Bush administration's rationale for invading Iraq, Sabri's account shows how well-founded the intelligence on Saddam's weapons program appeared to be.
Ironically, just as Drumheller claimed that Bush ignored the truth about Iraq, the media have ignored the documentation in the Senate report demolishing Drumheller's claim.
An addenda to the Senate report on postwar findings about Iraq's WMD program says all the operational documents relating to Sabri indicate he told the CIA just the opposite of what Drumheller claimed. The Senate report refers to Sabri as a source with direct access to Saddam Hussein and his inner circle but does not name him.
"Both the operations cable and the intelligence report prepared for high-level policy-makers [based on interrogation of the source] said that while Saddam Hussein did not have a nuclear weapon, he was aggressively and covertly developing such a weapon,'" the Senate report said.
The documents said "Iraq was producing and stockpiling chemical weapons," according to the addendum, signed by Sens. Pat Roberts, RKan., Orrin G. Hatch, RUtah, and Saxby Chambliss, RGa. Iraq's weapon of last resort was mobile launched chemical weapons, which would be fired at enemy forces and Israel, the CIA documents said.
Moreover, there is "not a single document relating to this case which indicates that the source said Iraq had no WMD programs," the addenda said. "On the contrary, all of the information about this case so far indicates that the information from this source was that Iraq did have WMD programs."
What the source said was consistent with the CIA's October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate, the report said. The report added: "The committee is still exploring why the former chief/EUR's public remarks differ so markedly from the documentation."
At least 134 stories and TV shows have referred to Drumheller's claims and his criticism of the CIA and Bush administration in general. One of the stories ran as the second lead of the June 25, 2006 Washington Post.
"Warnings on WMD Fabricator' Were Ignored, Ex-CIA Aide Says," the headline over the Post story said. According to the story, Drumheller was dumbfounded when he saw a classified version of the speech Secretary of State Colin Powell was about to give to the United Nations citing Iraq's biological weapons factories on wheels.
Drumheller claimed he had warned George Tenet, the director of Central Intelligence, in a phone call, and John McLaughlin, the deputy director, in a personal meeting that the source for that claim, code-named "Curveball," was a fabricator.
Not until the 32nd paragraph of the Post story did the reader learn that both Tenet and McLaughlin said they had no recollection of warnings Drumheller allegedly gave them. Both men said they would have taken immediate action if he had.
While two former CIA officials said they recalled Drumheller telling them at the time about warnings he allegedly gave McLaughlin, no meeting with Drumheller appeared on McLaughlin's official calendar, according to the report of the Commission on Intelligence Capabilities of the U.S. Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction, known as the Silverman-Robb commission.
Carroll & Graf is publishing Drumheller's book, "On the Brink: How the White House Has Compromised American Intelligence," written with Elaine Monaghan, on Sept. 28, according to the Amazon listing. The publisher's Web site lists the publication date as this winter.
Neither Drumheller nor a Carroll & Graf spokesperson responded to messages seeking comment.
So far, no media outlet has run the Senate committee's addendum demolishing Drumheller's claim that Bush and his White House did not want to hear the truth about whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
Thanks for the ping, ikez78. See #24.
"Never believe a guy who's trying to sell his book."
What about the Iraqi General who said Iraq moved their WMD to Syria? He was selling a book. Do we believe him?
Of course they are...the 1 person's opinion matches what they want to be the truth, all the documents proves they're wrong. So of course the dems will take the delusion over the facts...they're dems.

More donors arrived on the day and their good deeds will soon be announced!
Ama Wheelies desperately needs a quad friendly vehicle. Lack of proper transport is hampering our progress. Through our golf day we hoped to create awareness for our cause and hoped someone would step forward and help with purchase of a Quad friendly vehical. Awareness was of utmost importance though and Ama Wheelies are proud to announce that even though we never got a quad friendly vehical, many people became aware of the Ama Wheelies project thru the golf day and march thru town. A special word of thanks to all the helpers on the day who worked hard to make this rally and golf day a success.
All in all over R120 000.00 was raised in what can be called the most successful fund raiser Ama Wheelies has ever hosted. Most of the R120 000 donated came in the form of much needed farming equipment and computers for our training center, with very little coming in as cash. The equipment donated will go along way in making sure the wheelchair farmers of Thaba Chweu are successful and for these great donations we thank you.
To the following twitter buddies who helped us spread the word on Twitter a HUGE thank you, without your help we would not have seen such a great uptake online. Thank you @LizaSutherland @beanbagboy @jodenecoza @Aphrael78 @StuffSmart @hmathys007 @wesmor01 @JohnGore @joaoluisc @gaynor_kast @ExMi @beebee_nile @shesthegeek @MoniqueTheron @_Cybelle_ @Simonbotes @ProphecyZA @PaulJohnston @FirestarZA @Vodacom @uyspj @picknpay @shebeegee @Gnat_J @Nitefenix @NokiaRSA
On the golf day we had well wishers from as far as Spain sending in messages of support via our twitter channel. This is very encouraging and we thank everyone who showed support. We look forward to our next golf day and hope to have your continued support as our project grows.

To Court Millennials, Hotels Are Rolling Out the Yoga Mat
February 27, 2017,
Anthrax is an infectious disease due to a bacterium called Bacillus anthracis . Infection in humans most often involves the skin, gastrointestinal tract, or lungs.
Woolsorter's disease; Ragpicker's disease; Cutaneous anthrax; Gastrointestinal anthrax
Anthrax commonly affects hoofed animals such as sheep, cattle, and goats. Humans who come into contact with infected animals can get sick with anthrax as well.
There are three main routes of anthrax infection:
Cutaneous anthrax occurs when anthrax spores touch a cut or scrape on the skin.
Inhalation anthrax develops when anthrax spores enter the lungs through the respiratory tract. It is most commonly contracted when workers breathe in airborne anthrax spores during processes such as tanning hides and processing wool.
Breathing in spores means a person has been exposed to anthrax, but it does not mean the person will have symptoms.
Gastrointestinal anthrax occurs when someone eats anthrax-tainted meat.
Anthrax may be used as a biological weapon or for bioterrorism.
Symptoms of anthrax differ depending on the type of anthrax.
Symptoms of cutaneous anthrax start 1 to 7 days after exposure:
Symptoms of inhalation anthrax:
Symptoms of gastrointestinal anthrax usually occur within 1 week and may include:
The tests to diagnose anthrax depend on the type of disease that is suspected.
A culture of the skin, and sometimes a biopsy, are done on the skin sores. The sample is looked at under a microscope to identify the anthrax bacterium.
Tests may include:
Fluid or blood samples may be sent to a special laboratory for more testing, including PCR, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry.
Antibiotics are usually used to treat anthrax. Antibiotics that may be prescribed include penicillin, doxycycline, and ciprofloxacin.
Inhalational anthrax is treated with a combination of antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin plus another medicine, which are given by IV (intravenously). Antibiotics are usually taken for 60 days by people who have been exposed to anthrax, because it can take spores that long to germinate.
Cutaneous (skin) anthrax is treated with antibiotics taken by mouth, usually for 7 to 10 days. Doxycycline and ciproflaxin are most often used.
When treated with antibiotics, cutaneous anthrax is likely to get better. However, up to 20% of people who do not get treatment may die if anthrax spreads to the blood.
People with second-stage inhalation anthrax have a poor outlook, even with antibiotic therapy. Up to 90% of cases in the second stage are fatal.
Gastrointestinal anthrax infection can spread to the bloodstream, and may result in death.
Call your health care provider if you have been exposed to anthrax, or if you develop symptoms of any type of anthrax.
There are two main ways to prevent anthrax.
For people who have been exposed to anthrax (but have no symptoms of the disease), doctors may prescribe preventive antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin, penicillin, or doxycycline, depending on the strain of anthrax.
An anthrax vaccine is available to military personnel and some members of the general public. It is given in a series of five doses over 18 months.
There is no known way to spread cutaneous anthrax from person to person. People who live with someone who has cutaneous anthrax do not need antibiotics unless they have also been exposed to the same source of anthrax.

Painting Forever: Tony Tuckson
A National Gallery of Australia Travelling Exhibition
4 Nov 2000 – 4 Feb 2001
Curator: Tim Fisher
Painting Forever: Tony Tuckson will display in depth the most beautiful and representative paintings and drawings by Australia's greatest abstract expressionist artist Tony Tuckson. This is the first major survey exhibition of Tuckson's work since 1976 and offers a unique opportunity to both discover and reassess one of Australia's most important twentieth century artists.
The exhibition charts the progression of Tuckson as an artist, from prominent student of naturalist watercolours and post war murals to pre-eminent abstract expressionist. The exhibition explores one of the defining features of 20th century art-the journey towards abstraction. His life's work is a journey of emotional, intellectual and aesthetic discovery. Painting Forever seeks to balance Tuckson's most radical, extreme and beautiful late paintings and drawings with early paintings and contextual material to reveal how he became and remained an abstract expressionist artist.
Tuckson's paintings were usually produced alongside numerous drawings and painted works on paper (including sketchbooks). The exhibition uses this pattern of production as the formal structure of the display. The earliest oil paintings, drawings and watercolours are selectively displayed in a dense 'domestic' hang – including art school studies, unframed serial drawings, unstretched experimental oil paintings, family studies, nudes and early nightclub scenes. This domestic hang reiterates both the subject matter of family, service comrades and friends, and the situation in which the works were made.
From this point forward the exhibition alternates groups of ever more abstracted paintings with the best works from Tuckson's drawn oeuvre. Early 1950s tentative abstraction – led by the radical gouache drawings on newspaper are interspersed with the last of the formal oil paintings. Expressive 'divisionist' paintings on composition board open up into a powerful group of the scratchy, delicate masterpieces of the early 1960s. These in turn lead to a great group of red, black and white paintings, including some of his most extreme and compelling gouache-collage drawings.
The exhibition concludes with a whole gallery space devoted to the 1970s 'veil' paintings and attenuated charcoal drawings. This display contains some of Tuckson's greatest and most expressive works of art, including the late diptych's and previously un-exhibited drawings. The exhibition will closes with the great autobiographical masterpieces Grey 1973 and White sketch 1973. It is hoped that the artists many self-portraits (both drawn and painted) will provide the binding motif for visitors to the exhibition.
Painting Forever: Tony Tuckson seeks to establish a new audience for this wonderful artist as well as nurturing existing fans. It will appeal to younger viewers, through making a virtue of Tuckson's most radical and expressive works, and by providing a very clear and straightforward contextual insight into the artist and his work.
The national tour of Painting Forever:Tony Tuckson exhibition will commence in late February 2001 following the display in Canberra.
