1. Contiguity Effects.
Ideas that need to be associated should be presented contiguously in space and time in the multimedia learning environment. For example, the verbal label for a picture needs to be placed spatially near the picture on the display, not on the other side of the screen. An explanation of an event should be given when the event is depicted rather than many minutes, hours, or days later.
Design the learning materials and lesson plans so that elements and ideas that need to be related are presented near each other in space and time.
2. Perceptual-motor Grounding.
Whenever a concept is first introduced, it is important to ground it in a concrete perceptual-motor experience. The learner will ideally visualize a picture of the concept, will be able to manipulate its parts and aspects, and will observe how it functions over time. The teacher and learner will also gain a common ground (shared knowledge) of the learning material. Perceptual-motor experience is particularly important when there is a need for precision, such as getting directions to find a spatial location. For example, a course in statistics is not grounded in perceptual-motor experience when the teacher presents symbols and formulae that have no meaning to the student and cannot be visualized.
Teachers should ground new concepts in perceptual-motor experiences when concepts are first introduced and when the content needs to be tracked with a high level of precision. This practice facilitates comprehension, learning, and later use of the information.
3. Dual Code and Multimedia Effects.
Information is encoded and remembered better when it is delivered in multiple modes (verbal and pictorial), sensory modalities (auditory and visual), or media (computers and lectures) than when delivered in only a singe mode, modality, or medium. Dual codes provide richer and more varied representations that allow more memory retrieval routes. However, the amount of information should not overwhelm the learner because attention is split or cognitive capacities are overloaded.
Design the learning materials so that information gets delivered in multiple modes, modalities, and media, but do not overwhelm the learner with too much to learn or too much to attend to, two primary causes of cognitive overload.
4. Testing Effect.
There are direct and indirect effects of taking frequent tests. One indirect benefit is that frequent testing keeps students constantly engaged in the material. Although students will learn from testing without receiving feedback, there is less forgetting if students receive informative feedback about their performance. Multiple tests slow forgetting better than a single test. Formative assessment refers to the use of testing results to guide teachers in making decisions about what to teach. Learners also benefit if they use test results as a guide for their own learning.
Use frequent testing to enhance learning and memory. This practice will encourage learners to study continuously throughout the semester. Use testing results to guide teaching and learning.
5. Spaced Effects.
Spaced schedules of testing (like spaced schedules of studying) produce better long-term retention than a single test. When a single test is administered immediately after learning, students obtain high scores, but long-term retention is reduced with a single immediate test relative to spaced testing. When a test is given immediately after learning has occurred, learners still have the newly-learned information in a primary memory system and therefore obtain high test scores. Both teachers and learners often misjudge their high scores on a test given immediately after learning as evidence of good retention, when, in fact, long-term retention suffers with this practice.
Teachers should give frequent tests so that the high scores on tests that are immediately given after learning can be maintained over time. If a single test is given soon after learning, both teachers and students fall prey to the "illusion of competence" or belief that the learners have information available in long-term memory, when in fact they do not.
6. Exam Expectations.
Students benefit more from repeated testing when they expect a final exam that will include additional information than when they do not expect a final exam. It seems that learners will keep material more accessible in memory when they expect to need it later than when they do not.
Teachers should create the expectation that there will be a final or comprehensive examination that will be administered at some future date. Learners will use knowledge of future testing to keep information in memory in a way that allows it to be recalled in the future.
7. Generation Effect.
Learning is enhanced when learners produce answers compared to having them recognize answers. Free recall or essay tests which require the test taker to generate answers with minimal cues produce better learning than multiple choice tests in which the learner only needs to be able to recognize correct answers. In fact, free recall tests produce as much learning as restudying the material.
When possible, teachers should give recall tests and provide other opportunities for learners to recall information with minimal cues. (We do not know the conditions under which learners will gain comparable benefits from well written multiple choice or other recognition tests.)
8. Organization Effects.
Outlining, integrating, and synthesizing information produces better learning than rereading materials or other more passive strategies. Students frequently report that when they study they reread materials they already read once. Strategies that require learners to be actively engaged with the material to-be-learned produce better long-term retention than the passive act of reading. Learners should develop their own mini-testing situations as they review, such as stating the information in their own words (without viewing the text) and synthesizing information from multiple sources, such as from class and textbooks.
Provide learners with meaningful strategies for retaining information when they study. These strategies should require effort because there is a long-term retention advantage for effortful processing (assuming that the effort is within a reasonable level).
9. Coherence Effect.
The learner needs to get a coherent, well connected representation of the main ideas to be learned. It is important to remove distracting, irrelevant material, even when the added information is artistically appealing. Seductive details that do not address the main points to be conveyed run the risk of consuming the learner's attention and effort at the expense of their missing the main points.
Design the learning materials so that the main points are prominent and that removes distracting, irrelevant materials.
10. Stories and Example Cases.
Stories and other forms of narrative are easier to read, comprehend, and remember than other types of learning materials. For many millennia, the primary way of passing wisdom down from generation to generation was through stories. Stories have concrete characters, objects, locations, plot, themes, emotions, and actions that bear some similarity to everyday experiences. Many stories also convey a point or moral that can be generalized to many situations. Example cases in a story-like format are persuasive, easy to comprehend, and very memorable.
Teachers and learning environments should capture the important content in stories and example cases, which are comparatively easy to comprehend and remember.
11. Multiple Examples.
An understanding of an abstract concept improves with multiple and varied examples.
Provide learners with examples of concepts, especially examples that are selected from different academic disciplines (e.g., correlations in historical events and medicine) and different domains of knowledge (applied and abstract).
12. Feedback Effects.
Students benefit from feedback on their performance in a learning task, but the timing of the feedback depends on the task.
Provide feedback to learners according to schedules that allow them to recognize correct responses without the aid of feedback.
13. Negative Suggestion Effects.
Just as people learn correct information with frequent testing, they also can learn wrong information this way. For example, when incorrect alternatives on multiple choice tests are presented, the wrong answers can be learned instead of the correct answers. This effect is also found on short answer essay questions when students do not know the answers and use their general knowledge about the field to construct a response that seems reasonable to them. In this situation, learners recall their incorrect, but logically consistent response as being correct. These effects can be reduced when learners receive feedback immediately after taking a test which allows them to revise their memory and understanding without delay.
Provide immediate feedback after testing to correct errors and overcome negative suggestions created by recalling incorrect responses. Teachers should provide feedback about correct responses as soon as the testing is completed. It is easier to achieve this goal when multiple short tests are given than when fewer, longer tests are given.
14. Desirable Difficulties.
Learning is enhanced when learners have to organize the information themselves or exert additional effort during acquisition or retrieval than in conditions in which the information to be learned or retrieved does not require effort. One possible explanation for this effect is that learners create multiple retrieval paths which make the information more accessible at retrieval. These practices slow initial learning, but promote long-term recall.
Teachers should present the to-be-remembered information in formats that require effortful processing. For example, information presented in class should not follow in the same order as information in a related chapter so learners will be to integrate the two sources of information. Learners will remember information better when it requires effortful processing than information that is easy to learn.
15. Manageable Cognitive Load.
Multimedia learning environments should be compatible with what we know about how people learn. A common error in the design of multimedia learning materials is to "clutter" the learning environment with extraneous information that increases the cognitive load for learners who are in the process of discovery what is important and what is decorative and distracting. The demands on working memory can exceed capacity when there is auditory input that does not match written text and there is visual animation and other movement to monitor at the same time, especially early in learning. The coherence principle calls for the removal of extraneous materials. The spatial contiguity principle refers to the need to keep printed text next to the visual display that it describes.
Keep multimedia learning materials free of clutter with text information and auditory input physically near the matching visual display and near in time to match animations or other movement.
16. Segmentation Principle.
Information presented in text is necessarily linear because of the constraints of language. When multimedia materials are designed, it is possible to present information simultaneously in multiple modes—auditory, motor, visual, being the most common. The general principle of introducing new concepts in manageable segments becomes even more critical when there are multiple sensory systems involved.
Plan the order and amount of new information that is to be presented in discrete units so as not to overwhelm new learners with too much new information at once.
17. Explanation Effects.
Explanations consist of causal analyses of events, logical justifications of claims, and functional rationales for actions. Explanations provide coherence to the material and justify why information is relevant and important. Students may be prompted to give self-explanations of the material through think aloud protocols or questioning tasks that elicit explanations that connect the material to what they already know. Self-explanations and the activity of studying good explanations facilitate deeper comprehension, learning, memory, and transfer.
Teachers and learning environments should deliver good explanations of ideas and elicit self-explanations from the learner. These explanations promote deeper learning of complex mechanisms, causal and functional analyses, links between claims and evidence, and logical reasoning.
18. Deep Questions.
Deep explanations of material and reasoning are elicited by questions such as why, how, what-if-and what-if not, as opposed to shallow questions that require the learner to simply fill in missing words, such as who, what, where, and when. Training students to ask deep questions facilitates comprehension of material from text and classroom lectures. The learner gets into the mindset of having deeper standards of comprehension and the resulting representations are more elaborate.
Good questions promote deeper comprehension of the material. Teachers and students need to be trained on good question asking skills because most questions that get asked are shallow questions. Deeper questions lead to improved comprehension and learning at deeper levels of mastery.
19. Cognitive Disequilibrium.
Cognitive disequilibrium stimulates inquiry, curiosity, thinking, and deep questions, which in turn lead to deeper learning. Cognitive disequilibrium occurs when there are obstacles to goals, contradictions, conflicts, anomalous events, breakdown scenarios, salient gaps in knowledge, uncertainty, equally attractive alternatives, and other types of impasses. When these impasses occur, the learner needs to engage in reasoning, thought, problem solving, and planning in route to restoring cognitive equilibrium. There is a higher incidence of deep questions, thought, reasoning, and study efforts when learners undergo cognitive disequilibrium.
Learning environments and teachers should provide challenges that put the learner in cognitive disequilibrium if the learning objective is to promote deep learning of the material. These experiences can present confusion or frustration to some students, so there needs to be forms of scaffolding that help them get through the impasse.
20. Cognitive Flexibility.
Cognitive flexibility increases when there are multiple viewpoints, perspectives, and points of view about a phenomenon. It also increases when there multiple layers of knowledge that interconnect facts, rules, skills, procedures, plans, and deep conceptual principles. The cognitive complexity and multiple viewpoints are helpful when learners face tasks that have unique complexities that cannot be anticipated proactively. For example, mathematics has the layers of facts (2 + 3 = 5), algebraic procedures, and deep mathematical concepts that need to be linked and coordinated. Cognitive flexibility is achieved by trying to solve a large variety of problems and by training that links these different layers.
Teachers and learning environments promote cognitive flexibility by having students work on problems that vary in content and complexity. In addition to multiple varied cases, there needs to be training that points out connections between the layers of facts, procedural knowledge, functional explanations, and deep principles.
21. Goldilocks Principle.
Assignments should not be too hard or two easy, but at the right level of difficulty for the student's level of skill or prior knowledge. The definition of the zone of proximal development (ZPD) is a bit more technical: the difference in learning that occurs with versus without a learning scaffold (e.g., tutor, teacher, text, and computer). Researchers have identified a number of zones that reflect how much learning, memory, mastery, or satisfaction occurs along a continuum of task difficulty and that is sensitive to individual differences among learners. When the material is too easy for the learner, the student is not challenged and may get bored. When it is too difficult, the student acquires very little and gets frustrated or tunes out.
Learning environments and teachers should tailor the materials to characteristics of the learner, making sure that the material is not too difficult, or not to difficult, but just right.
22. Imperfect Metacognition.
Both adults and children have very limited knowledge of how their mind works and how to learn, so they need explicit training on cognitive processes and optimal learning strategies. Metacognition is a person's knowledge or judgments of memory, learning, planning, problem solving, and decision processes. Students' metacognition can be mislead by folk wisdom of a culture about cognition and their making incorrect analyses of there personal mental experiences. The vast majority of adults are not good at planning, selecting, monitoring, and evaluating their strategies of self-regulated learning. Most students have trouble discovering important principles on their own, without guidance and scaffolding by teachers. Occasionally the learning materials have precisely the right characteristics and affordances to stimulate discovery by the student, but that is rare and difficult to engineer. As a consequence, there needs to be explicit training and practice before students acquire adequate metacognition, self-regulated learning, and discovery learning.
Teachers and learning environments need to train students on characteristics of metacognition and strategies of self-regulated learning and discovery learning. These capacities and skills do not come naturally to most adults. Without such instructional mediation, students lack the ability to effectively read for particular purposes, search through hypertext/hypermedia, select actions in interactive simulation environments, and design systems that satisfy multiple constraints.
23. Discovery Learning.
Most students have trouble discovering important principles on their own, without careful guidance, scaffolding, or materials with well-crafted affordances.
When designing learning materials, teachers need to provide guides and explicit instruction in the principles that are to be learned.
24. Self-regulated Learning.
Most students need training in how to self-regulate their own learning and other cognitive processes.
Provide learners with frequent assessments so they can become aware of what they do not know because it is difficult to assess ones own understanding or learning without an external assessment.
25. Anchored Learning.
Anchored learning occurs when students work in teams for several hours or days trying to solve a challenging practical problem that matters to the student. The activity is linked to background knowledge of the learner on a topic that is interesting. The problem is challenging, so the learner needs to engage in problem solving and recruit multiple levels of knowledge and skills. These activities are coherently organized around solving the practical problem. Examples of anchored learning are problem-based curricula in medical schools where students work on genuine medical cases and communities of practice where students try to solve problems of pollution in their city.
Anchored learning weaves together many principles of learning in a coherent activity that engages teams of students for many hours and days. It provides a context for learning that motivates many students and stimulates problem solving and organized social interactions.

25 principios de aprendizaje
Desde una reciente revisión sobre rendimiento académico, llego a un documento en el que se recogen 25 principios conocidos en psicología del aprendizaje, con sus implicaciones para la enseñanza. Copiopego el documento, extrayendo las referencias que apoyan cada punto. Espero que les aporte alguna idea para su docencia. Y, sí, hay puntos evidentes, pero recuerden que lo que resulta claro cuando se lee no tiene por qué ser lo que aplicamos después.

What is your speaking fee?
I use different fees in different countries. See above for the rates. I will waive the fee if you organize a Work Together Anywhere workshop (online, in person, or hybrid) with 8 or more attendees (€495/person).
Do you charge travel expenses?
My travel expenses are included in my speaking fee.
Do you want us to book your hotel or flights?
No, but thank you for offering. My travel schedule is usually very complicated (a simple return ticket is a rare event for me) and I prefer to book everything myself.
What if we can't pay your speaking fee?
If you are unable to pay the fee, I am happy to send you some free remote working resources that you can promote to your participants. Simply email me for the options.
Can we order your books to sell at our event?
Yes, you may order my books directly through me. Simply send me an email.
Will you help us promote our event?
Absolutely! I add all public events to my speaking calendar and I promote them on my newsletter and via social media.
Will you make your slides available after the talk?
I am happy to. Just let me know where to send them.
Can we film your talk?
Yes, please! And send me the link too. But please note: My talks engage the audience and I move around a lot – so you need to be prepared to film that.
Please use our computer…
I insist that I use my own computer for my presentation. My slides are professionally designed with special fonts, graphics and videos – and optimized for my laptop. When I use other computers, something ALWAYS goes wrong. I have connectors for every system.
Can you send your presentation before the event?
I always change presentations the day or night before an event. Any presentation that I send earlier will not be up-to-date anymore when I go on stage. Last but not least, I know my presentations work fine on my computer. Other computers usually don't have the correct fonts, the correct software, etc. As the creator of my presentations, I am the only one who can see if all slides look exactly as they should.
About speakers gifts…
I love and appreciate them, of course. However, I travel very light (think backpack). Giving me something that is heavy, delicate, or can't go through security at the airport will usually (sadly) end up being given away. Though I have made a number of random people on the street happy with big bouquets of flowers.

Wellington, June 22 NZPA - Parliament's security is likely to be tightened after the scuffle on Friday when Chinese vice-president Xi Jinping arrived.
Green Party co-leader Russel Norman was pushed by Chinese officials who tried to put an umbrella over him to hide a Tibetan flag he was waving.
It was pulled from his hands, although he managed to retrieve it and accuse the Chinese of trying to suppress freedom of speech in New Zealand.
Prime Minister John Key apologised to the delegation for the incident, and last night told NZPA the issue had nothing to do with freedom of speech.
He said he apologised for the failure to provide proper security for the vice-president.
"It's my intention, when I return to New Zealand, to take the matter up with Diplomatic Protection, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and with the Speaker's office because I think it's unacceptable that a dignitary of that level can't enter the building without their integrity being compromised," he said.
"In my view we will need to go and review our procedures and protocols."
Mr Key said a balance had to be found so visiting leaders could enter and leave the building without their "close space and their integrity" being challenged.
Dr Norman yesterday accused Mr Key of making a "degrading" apology and called on him to stand up for democracy and free speech.
Mr Key said he would always fight to protect those rights for all New Zealanders.
He said the Chinese Falun Gong movement had protested continuously outside the vice-president's hotel in Auckland.

🎬 Mortal Engines Trailer #1 ( 2018 ) Film Trailer | Movie Trailers
Mortal Engines is an upcoming post-apocalyptic adventure film directed by Christian Rivers and with the screenplay written by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens and Peter Jackson. It is based on the novel of the same name by Philip Reeve. An American-New Zealand co-production, the film is set in a post-apocalyptic steampunk world where entire cities have been mounted on wheels and motorised, and prey on one another. It stars Hugo Weaving, Hera Hilmar, Robert Sheehan, Jihae, Ronan Raftery, Leila George, Patrick Malahide and Stephen Lang.
The film is scheduled to be released in theatres on December 14, 2018.
Tom is a twenty-something Londoner who has only ever lived inside his travelling hometown, and his feet have never touched grass, mud or land. His first taste of the outside comes quite abruptly: Tom gets in the way of the masked Hester's attempt to kill Thaddeus Valentine, a powerful man she blames for her mother's murder, and both Hester and Tom end up thrown out of the moving "traction" city and on their own.
– Hera Hilmar as Hester Shaw, a disfigured, fugitive assassin with a personal vendetta against Thaddeus.
– Robert Sheehan as Tom Natsworthy, a low-class apprentice historian of London thrown out of the city and forced to ally himself with Hester and the resistance.
– Hugo Weaving as Thaddeus Valentine, Head of the Guild of Historians and the father of Katherine Valentine.
– Jihae as Anna Fang, a pilot and leader of the Anti-Traction League, a resistance group banding against the moving cities devouring Earth's resources.
– Ronan Raftery as Bevis Pod, an apprentice engineer whom Katherine befriends.
– Leila George as Katherine Valentine, daughter of Thaddeus Valentine and one of London's elite.
– Patrick Malahide as Magnus Crome, the Mayor of London.
– Stephen Lang as Shrike, the last of an undead battalion of soldiers known as Stalkers, who were war casualties reanimated with machine parts. He raised Hester and now works for Crome.
– Additionally, Colin Salmon and Regé-Jean Page portray Chudleigh Pomeroy, Tom's historian boss, and Captain Khora, respectively. Leifur Sigurdarson portrays Nils Lindstrom, an aviator; Mark Hadlow portrays Orme Wreyland, villainous leader of a small town called Speedwell; Sophie Cox portrays Clytie Potts; Aaron Jackson portrays Gench; Stephen Ure portrays Pewsey; Kee Chan portrays Governor Kwan; and Mark Mitchinson portrays Vambrace.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has supported Donald Trump's comment attacking Mayor Sadiq Khan, despite the US president endorsing the racist term "Londonistan".
Mr Hunt refused to criticise President Trump for quoting a post by far-right commentator Katie Hopkins, which had called the capital city "Khan's Londonistan".
The Tory leadership contender told a Westminster hustings: "President Trump has his own style and I wouldn't use those words myself.
"But the sentiment is enormous disappointment that we have a mayor of London who has completely failed to tackle knife crime and spent more time on politics than the actual business of making Londoners safer.
"And in that, I 150 per cent agree with the president."
However, two of Mr Hunt's leadership rivals did criticise the President Trump's Twitter activity.
Home secretary Sajid Javid told Mr Trump to "stick to domestic politics", describing his behaviour as "unbecoming of the leader of such a great state".
Environment secretary, Michael Gove, said: "It's always a mistake to retweet anything that Katie Hopkins tweets."
The international development secretary, Rory Stewart, while avoiding criticising Mr Trump in the hustings, later tweeted that he "100 per cent" disagreed with the "Londonistan" description.
And Dominic Raab hit out, saying: "I disagree with lots of things Sadiq Khan says but I'm proud to have a Muslim mayor of London and a Muslim home secretary. I've lived in London and I'm proud that it's a melting point."
On Saturday 16 June, President Trump continued his feud with Mayor Sadiq Khan, tweeting: "LONDON needs a new mayor ASAP. Khan is a disaster – will only get worse!"
He also retweeted Ms Hopkins' original post, which called the capital "Stab-City" and "Khan's Londonistan" alongside two screenshots of online stories detailing the violence.
Mayor Khan said: "It's for Donald Trump to explain his tweets, not for me, but it's remarkable that you've got the president of the USA amplifying the tweets of a far-right activist, amplifying a racist tweet.
"That's one of my concerns about Donald Trump – he's now seen as a poster boy for racists around the world, whether you're a racist in this country, whether you're a racist in Hungary, a racist in Italy, or a racist in France."
As you're here…
5Pillars have one humble request from you…
Thousands of Muslims around the world visit our website for news every day. Due to the unfortunate reality of covering Muslim-related news in a heightened Islamophobic environment, our advertising and fundraising revenues have decreased significantly.
5Pillars is editorially and financially independent, with no sectarian or political allegiance to any particular group or movement. Our journalism has been exclusively grassroots focussed and our sole purpose is to defend Islam and Muslims in the media.
This makes us unique in comparison to other online Muslim media outlets who are neither independently regulated by a reputable body nor are they managed by qualified journalists.
Our journalism takes time, money and effort to deliver. But we do it because we believe we have a duty to Allah (swt).
You may not agree or like everything we publish. However, which other Muslim news site that is run by experienced journalists will take on the responsibility of being a shield for Islam and Muslims in the media?
If you follow 5Pillars, and you understand its importance in today's climate, then please support us for as little as £5 a month, it only takes a minute to make a donation. Jazakallah khayran.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:"The best deeds are those done regularly, even if they are small." [Ibn Mājah]

We Are Open
At Williamstown Chiropractic Health Group we are committed to helping you optimism your health which means the safety and health of our community, our patients and our team is always our primary focus.
We've been closely monitoring the ever-evolving Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in real time and wanted to give you an update on our approach.
What are we doing to keep our team and patients safe?
We're closely following the advice of the Australia's Chief Medical Officer, as well as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and have commenced the following precautionary measures:
Continuing to uphold our clinical and sanitation standards which include:
- Significant changes to our waiting room area and how we make appointments so as to minimise any additional time in areas not essential
- Removal of all contact risks. Sorry kids no toys anymore and no magazines for adults.
- Disinfectant and wipe down of treatment surfaces before after each consultation
- Minimum of twice daily cleaning of treatment equipment and rooms
- Thorough daily cleaning of all high touch areas with disinfectant, including reception surfaces, door handles, and treatment areas
- Triaging of patients and clear communication for high risk patients
- All out team have completed the Australian Government Covid19 Training and are keeping up to date with best practice to keep us and you as safe and healthy as possible.
- Making hand sanitizer available for you to use on our front desk and in our treatment rooms. There is ample soap and hand-towels in the bathrooms which we recommended you use when you arrive and before you leave.
Should you continue to attend your adjustments?
We will remain open and we will continue to see patients, if you have not travelled and not had contact with Covid-19, current advice is that you are safe to continue your appointments, person to person transmission is not yet posing an issue in Victoria.
We recommend you reschedule your appointment and let us know if you:
- Have recently travelled overseas – you must self-isolate for 14 days as per government advice.
- Have had contact with a suspected or confirmed case of Covid-19 – please do not attend your appointment and self-isolate for 14 days as per government advice.
- If you are feeling unwell, please contact us for advice about whether you should attend your appointment. If you have a fever, cough, excessive runny nose or shortness of breath, then you will be advised to not attend your appointment and we will waive your cancellation fee.
What can you do to keep yourself safe?
- Wash your hands with soapy water for at least 20 seconds
- Dry your hands with paper towel
- Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose with unwashed hands
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or cough or sneeze into your elbow
- Monitor Victorian Government updates on: https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/victorian-public-coronavirus-disease-covid-19
- Australian Government updates on: https://www.health.gov.au/news/health-alerts/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-health-alert/what-you-need-to-know-about-coronavirus-covid-19
What should you do if you feel unwell?
If you suspect that you or a family member has COVID-19 you should call (not visit) your GP or ring the national COVID-19 Information Hotline on 1800 020 080.
Some final advice
Our clinic doesn't see acutely ill patients, hence we are a lower risk environment as the majority of our patients are healthy and are not within the at risk groups. While we are a health care practice, the cases we see are not within a concern group for spread of disease. We are continuing to take every measure to ensure the best clinical and sanitation standards in this time.
As the COVID- 19 virus becomes increasingly more prevalent in news outlets, our advice would be to follow the advice of professional health advice and updates rather than subscribing to, what can sometimes be, misinformation spread through word of mouth and non verified news sources. Continue to monitor updates from the Victorian Government as what we are seeing in Victoria are different to that in other parts of the world.
We encourage you to keep in touch even if you are self isolating. We are still 100% committed to helping you achieve your health goals and our extensive experience and knowledge base can be useful even if you can't attend in person. If there is anything we can do help please let us know, our team is prepared and ready to assist in anyway.
We will continue to keep you informed during this uncertain time and will contact you personally if there are any important changes you need to be aware of.
We look forward to seeing you at your next adjustment!

Manatt Health recently welcomed its incoming class of 2019—an outstanding group of individuals with diverse educational and professional backgrounds including law, public health, business, finance, and public policy.
Welcoming new colleagues and integrating them into our growing interdisciplinary business is a satisfying reminder of who we are and where we have come from, as well as what we need to do to continue to provide truly differentiated services to our clients.
Some 15 years ago we created Manatt Health. The idea sprang from listening carefully to the needs of our clients and realizing their legal challenges often could not be fully resolved without a deeper understanding of their underlying missions, business needs, and strategic priorities.
This imperative has become ever more pronounced as new digital technologies and breakthroughs in life sciences change what it means to provide health care, industry consolidation and competition fuel unprecedented market volatility, and ever-evolving federal and state legal and regulatory requirements are reshaping the way our country pays for and delivers health care services.
Today, Manatt Health consists of about 160 professionals, half lawyers and half consultants with expertise in strategy, business, policy, communications, and IT. We have clients in more than 30 states, across a diverse set of stakeholders in the health care eco-system.
Rejecting the Status Quo
What defines our work is a focus on helping our clients anticipate, respond to, and in some cases catalyze change. For many of our clients, maintaining the status quo is a prescription for failure. Survival requires reinvention of their business models, formation of new partnerships, and sometimes aggressively defending innovations and business approaches they have pioneered from encroachment by a new and diverse set of competitors.
Survival also often requires that our clients redefine their relationships with their customers, their employees, their regulators, and the communities they serve.
Our own reinvention as a health care practice is a direct reflection of our clients' rejection of the status quo. Health care is a highly regulated industry, and top tier legal representation is core to our identity and value as a firm. But our clients were (and are) seeking something more than traditional law firms offer—more market intelligence, more business savvy, a deeper understanding of their operational imperatives, stronger connections to state and federal policy making, and new ways to convey information, drive decision making, and move leadership teams through change.
Our interdisciplinary team problem solves and manages complex change processes more effectively for our clients. The professionals we recruit need to possess a diverse set of skills, a strong sense of mission, and a common passion to improve the health care system, whether it be by enhancing access to coverage and services, empowering consumers, or creating more efficient ways to deliver care.
When we ask people why they choose to join Manatt Health the most frequent answer is our mission and deep sense of shared purpose. To attract and retain this top talent, we have transformed our culture. Our law and consulting professionals are peers, each having skill sets that, when successfully melded together, produce more value for our clients than the sum of their parts.
Legal, Consulting Services Knitted Together
For us, our legal work is not an appendage sewn onto a Frankenstein-style corporate behemoth; nor is our consulting practice tucked under or subservient to our legal work. Instead, our legal and consulting services have been knitted together in a way that makes each indispensable to the other in serving our clients.
And significantly, our governance, staffing models, compensation structures and other aspects of the way we provide client services have evolved to reflect our commitment to a multi-disciplinary professional services business model.
Reinventing our health care practice was not an easy task. With it came overcoming some large obstacles, including lawyers fearing their value could be diluted, customer confusion, often caused by turf issues or siloed purchasing practices, and general market resistance, based on both perceptions as to the role of a law firm and the fact that an integrated law and consulting model is a new approach.
These obstacles haven't completely disappeared, but we now are confident that our vision, combined with hard fought victories on how to best implement it, is working for our clients, and for our growing team. The work is more meaningful, our clients are more engaged, and through partnering with our clients we are helping to shape, rather than simply react, to the rapid change around us.
In fact, the enthusiastic client response to our new interdisciplinary model of doing business has inspired Manatt to expand our integrated professional services approach in other highly regulated industries—finance, digital technology, real estate—where we have deep subject matter expertise and important client relationships.
While each industry is unique we believe an integrated professional services model holds great promise for the future as long as we continue to anchor that model in listening carefully to our clients and giving them what they need.

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:
Basket \Bas"ket\, noun [Of unknown origin. The modern Celtic words seem to be from the English.]
1. A vessel made of osiers or other twigs, cane, rushes, splints, or other flexible material, interwoven. "Rude baskets . . . woven of the flexile willow." --Dyer.
2. The contents of a basket; as much as a basket contains; as, a basket of peaches.
3. (Arch.) The bell or vase of the Corinthian capital. [Improperly so used.] --Gwilt.
4. The two back seats facing one another on the outside of a stagecoach. [Eng.] --Goldsmith.
5. A container shaped like a basket[1], even if made of solid material rather than woven; -- the top is often, but not always, open and without a lid. [PJC]
6. a vessel suspended below a balloon, designed to carry people or measuring instruments for scientific research.
Note: The earliest balloons designed to carry people often had small vessels of woven flexible vegetable materials to hold the passengers, which resembled large baskets[1], from which the name was derived. [PJC]
7. (Basketball) A goal[3] consisting of a short cylindrical net suspended from a circular rim, which itself is attached at about ten feet above floor level to a backboard, placed at the end of a basketball court. In professional basketball, two such baskets are used, one at each end of the court, and each team may score only by passing the ball though its own basket. In informal games, only one such basket is often used. [PJC]
8. (Basketball) An instance of scoring points by throwing the basketball through the basket; as, he threw four baskets in the first quarter; -- the ball must pass through the basket from above in order to score points. [PJC]
{Basket fish} (Zool.), an ophiuran of the genus {Astrophyton}, having the arms much branched. See {Astrophyton}.
{Basket hilt}, a hilt with a covering wrought like basketwork to protect the hand. --Hudibras. Hence,
{Basket-hilted}, adjective
{Basket work}, work consisting of plaited osiers or twigs.
{Basket worm} (Zool.), a lepidopterous insect of the genus {Thyridopteryx} and allied genera, esp. {Thyridopteryx ephemer[ae]formis}. The larva makes and carries about a bag or basket-like case of silk and twigs, which it afterwards hangs up to shelter the pupa and wingless adult females.
{collection basket}, a small basket[1] mounted on the end of a pole, used in churches to collect donations from those attending a church service; -- the long pole allows the collector to hold the basket in front of those at the end of the pew, while the collector remains in the aisle.
{waste basket}, a basket[4] used to hold waste matter, such as discarded paper, commonly shaped like a truncated cone, with the wide end open and at the top. Vessels of other shapes, such as oblong containers, are also called waste baskets. [1913 Webster +PJC]

The year in review and what's ahead in 2020
It's hard to believe we are nearing the end of 2019 and as usual, it was an interesting and challenging year in the construction business. For the most part, it was another good year for the industry due to the continued favorable economic environment. Whether you are a contractor, dealer, distributor, or service provider to the construction industry, the prolonged economic expansion has had an impact on your business. This expansion however presented many businesses with opportunities as well as challenges.
The strong economy has resulted in the shortage of skilled labor presenting challenges to all businesses. This topic was covered by Peter Gregory in the Q2 issue of Construction Quarterly. Please take a look at the insight he provided, if you haven't already.
The US economy has grown for 125 consecutive months following the Great Recession which ended in June of 2009. This marks the longest economic expansion in US History. Despite this, the current economic expansion has been slower than previous periods of economic growth. Through this expansionary period, the economy has grown at an average rate of 2.3% per year, dating back to 2009. In comparison, the economy grew at an average rate of 3.6% per year during the 1990s. Some economists believe that the lower productivity growth rates in the US are partially the result of a combination of a lack of skilled workers (due to the low unemployment rate) and an aging population. The lower growth rate has sparked discussions of whether slower economic growth may be the new normal. This may also be part of the reason for the length of the economic expansion.
Despite expansion continuing late into 2019, the growth rate is slowing and there are signs the expansion could be coming to an end.
Following are some items causing concern or pointing to a recession:
- Global economic uncertainty caused in part by the US/China trade war.
- International growth rates in major developing economies are slowing (i.e., China)
- A slowdown in manufacturing output and a downturn in business confidence as noted in Caterpillar's recent press release dated 10/23/2019.
- The inverted yield curve (short-term rates being as high, or higher, than long-term rates)
- Fear or worry that a recession is near because history suggests we might be due for one.
There are also several signs pointing to a continued expansion:
- American households are still spending, and have healthy balance sheets (i.e. spending not funded through increased borrowing).
- The labor market is strong, with low layoffs and stronger wage growth fueling household income.
- The Fed has been easing its monetary policy (The US Central Bank cut interest rates this past Wednesday, October 30th, the third straight rate cut – despite the Stock Market (S&P 500 and DOW) at all-time highs.
- The global economy should rebound if trade tensions ease.
Economists often say that recessions aren't caused by old age. They are caused by policy mistakes. Both domestic and global economic developments play an important role in driving activity and financial markets in the US. US multinationals account for a large share of US output and labor productivity growth, and their presence in financial markets is large. Also, in an indirect manner, even smaller domestic businesses positively affected by strong economic conditions throughout the world.
Because of its size and interconnectedness, developments in the US economy have the most significant effect on US based businesses and those around the world. The US has the world's single largest economy, accounting for 20+% of global GDP (at market exchange rates), and more than a third of the stock market capitalization. The US is the most important export destination for one-fifth of countries around the world. The US dollar is the most widely used currency in global trade and financial transactions, and changes in US monetary policy and investor sentiment play a major role in driving global financing conditions (Source: World Bank 2016).
At the same time, the global economy is important for the US as well. Affiliates of US multinationals operating abroad, and affiliates of foreign companies located in the US account for a large share of US output, employment, cross-border trade and financial flows, and stock market capitalization.
The following table provides detail on the top 10 world economies and their GDP growth.
None of us know exactly what to expect of the economy in 2020 and beyond but my belief is that we should be prepared for continued minimal or declining growth rates and possibly an economic contraction/recession in late 2020. Either way it is a given that the global and domestic economic conditions will continue to have an impact on your business in the future.

ST. JOHN'S (June 23, 2016) – Action Car and Truck Accessories will be the windshield banner sponsor for the 15th annual Targa Newfoundland this September. Action has signed on to become one of the major sponsors of the event and to have its logo on all competitor vehicles windshields in the annual tarmac rally.
Established in 1980, Action Car and Truck Accessories is Canada's leading distributor and retailer of automotive aftermarket accessories. With 36 retail stores, a commercial fleet installation network and a wholesale division with
four major distribution centers and four regional warehouses, it has made Action able to offer a very large and diverse selection of car, truck, jeep, SUV and commercial accessories throughout Canada.
Action has been a part of Newfoundland and Labrador communities for over 30 years with locations in Corner Brook, Grand Falls-Windsor, Gander, Clarenville and St. John's which are directly involved in the Targa event.
"We are very excited to be a part of Targa Newfoundland," says Jason Coish, Regional Manager. "I can still remember the first event 15 years ago and I'm really looking forward to seeing the cars and drivers who come from all over the world to compete in this event."
Action Car and Truck Accessories will have two pickup trucks involved with the Targa this September. One, driven by Chief Technical Inspector and Action Team Leader Joe Dowden, the other, by Incident Response Commander Tom Norris. Both pickups will be fully equipped to deal with any technical issue or incident that may arise during the event.
"Targa is very pleased to have such a successful Canadian company come on board for our 15th year," stated Targa President Robert Giannou. "We are quite happy that Action Car and Truck Accessories has seen the potential in becoming involved with Targa in an official capacity. Action will get plenty of promotion with the windshield banner on all the competition vehicles and their pickup trucks on the course. And with Targa's national reach, it will provide their locations across Canada with increased visibility. "
Owned and operated by Newfoundland International Motorsports Limited, Targa Newfoundland is one of three internationally recognized Targa motorsports events in the world. The 2016 competition will start in St. John's on September 12th and concludes back in the capital on September 16th. The annual rally will cover more than 1,600 kilometers of the challenging, twisty roads of the central and eastern portion of Newfoundland, including over 440 kilometers of closed-road, flat-out Targa stages.

A sea of yellow under a sky of blue. Hope.
More than 200 people gathered in Memorial Park in central Tauranga on Saturday for the city's annual Hope Walk.
The event was about bringing greater awareness around the issue of suicide and about promoting its prevention.
Bronwyn Harris, 59, said she had been to all three Hope walks in Tauranga, the first of which was in 2017.
"I'm taking part because I've lost two loved ones to suicide – a sister and a husband," she told the Bay of Plenty Times.
Harris said a lot of people are affected by suicide in New Zealand and awareness is growing.
She said her focus was to get more men to talk about it.
"If they could only talk more."
The 3.8km walking route stretched from Memorial Park, alongside Tauranga Harbour, to Marine Park in Sulphur Point.
Almost all of the walkers – as well as a few of their dogs – were wearing yellow T-shirts and other clothing; there were yellow balloons, banners, and photos of loved ones being carried along.
Why yellow? It is the international colour for suicide awareness.
Before the group – which was made up of all ages, from the very young to those less nimble – set off, several people shared their stories over a loudspeaker.
Hope Walk organiser Riria Gibbons said that was all about giving people an opportunity to talk about their journey.
"And that's inspiring more whānau to build up the courage to share their journeys as well," she said.
"If you look around you're seeing little groups of whānau that are coming together for this cause. And that's really what it's about. It's about normalising these conversations about suicide."
Gibbons said it was "very beautiful" to see people stand up and talk, because people do find themselves tiptoeing around the subject and around those who have lost loved ones to suicide.
The Hope Walk was about bringing it out into the open, she said, to provide healing and to instil confidence.
And the event was not only for people with personal stories of loss and tragedy.
Friends Katie Corbett, 30, and Rebecca Dodd, 29, were there to show support.
"I just think it's a good cause, I haven't had anyone close to me commit suicide," Corbett said.
"As you get older you realise more about it as well. Like, my dad has got a lot of mental health issues and I didn't see that when I was younger and now I do and I just want to support it a bit more."
Dodd said: "Mental health is really important and that's something that we, at our age, understand … I guess things are getting harder as life goes on."
As Tauranga's third-annual Hope Walk set off, with the spring sunshine warming the sea of yellow against a chilly breeze, white doves were released ahead of them.
The birds of peace flew up, up towards the sky of blue.

Clone Summary table
The Clone Summary table lists the identified clones in rank order from the most frequently occurring to least frequent. Each row represents an individual clone. Select Clone Summary from the Views list to see the table.
For each clone, the identified variable and joining region are listed as well as the amino acid (CDR3 AA) and nucleotide (CDR3 NT) sequences of the CDR3 region. The variable gene mutation, the isotype (Oncomine™ BCR IGH‑LR Assay only), and the clonal lineage assignment (Lineage ID) are also listed.
Click the column heading cells to sort the table. Frequency = # of reads for the identified clone (Count) / total reported reads (sum of Count column).
For multi‑sample analyses the Clone Summary table lists the frequency of each clone that is identified in any of the samples. The table is sorted in descending order that is based on the frequency of the clones in the leftmost column for each sample in the analysis. Although you can compare across multiple repertoire analysis workflows (that is, BCR IGH‑SR versus BCR IGH‑LR), in some instances BCR IGH‑SR analysis results can include multiple variable gene assignments.
The following table lists and describes the information that is available in the Clone Summary table.
Column name
Lineage ID [1]
Lineage ID represents the rank order of the clonal lineage abundance. Calculated as the sum of the frequencies of all members of the clonal lineage. Lineage 1 corresponds to the most abundant lineage, followed by Lineage 2, until the least abundant lineage is reached.
The best matching IMGT variable gene of the rearrangement.
The best matching IMGT joining gene of the rearrangement.
The CDR3 amino acid sequence of the rearrangement, denoted using the IMGT definition of the CDR3 region.
The CDR3 nucleotide sequence of the rearrangement, denoted using the IMGT definition of the CDR3 region.
The fraction of bases within the variable gene that differ from the best-matching IMGT variable gene. In B cells, such mismatching bases are largely derived from somatic hypermutation.
The total number of reads mapping to the rearrangement after quality filtering.
The frequency of the rearrangement as a proportion of total reads passing quality filtering.
The frequency rank of the rearrangement.
The isotype identified for the clone[2].

Inter, new assault for Bayern Munich's Muller in January
09 October at 12:15Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller is no longer considered essential to the Bundesliga giants, with Inter looking to sign the player in January, according to German tabloid Bild via Calciomercato.com.
The 30-year-old German striker is keen to leave the Bavarian club in January due to limited playing time and a new adventure, with Muller joining the club when he was only 11 years old and never playing for another team.
Inter approached Bayern in the summer to discuss a potential deal for him whilst negotiating the Ivan Perisic deal, but a move never materialised. However, given the gaps in the Nerazzurri squad and coach Antonio Conte's wishes to strengthen the team in January in order to fight Juventus for the league title, another attempt by the Nerazzurri is all but certain.
Muller has scored one goal and provided four assists in his ten appearances for the club so far this season.

Perfect Minibus Hire Bury Options to Make Your Trip Memorable
Getting around a large old style city such as Bury can tend to be uncomfortable, long and boring. This is primarily due to the heavy traffic, winding streets and the accompanying rowdy public travel system. The situation worsens especially after a long flight. Most people travel to other cities for business and in most of the cases, for vacation. With this in mind, there is a need to seek a reliable, comfortable and convenient means of transport.
For the business people, daily tasks at the workplace can be a hassle. There is inventory to look after, staff to relate with and targets to meet. Most people find relief in the various seminars and workshops elsewhere. The trips are hard to come by; therefore, it is important to squeeze as much fun as you can from them. Well, not to worry, Minibus Hire Bury Company is there to ensure that you get the best in terms of comfort, luxurious travel and convenient transfer. They bear in mind that the businessperson represents the company, so it does not pay to show up haggard and tired at the meeting with important clients. With this in mind, the company has specialized minibuses that allow for spacious legroom, headroom, comfortable seats and a nice configuration that allows for rest and comfort. The ride ends up looking like a vacation trip to a meeting.
The minibuses are also available for other occasions. The common clients include schools, colleges and churches. They seek the transfer of the members to other destinations for occasions such as seminars, sports, symposiums and boot camps. Hiring a minibus has a number of benefits in this aspect. For starters, it saves the management the hassles associates with owning a coach or minibus. This includes fuel, staff and maintenance crew. Secondly, it ensures safety. The drivers at Minibus Hire Bury undergo training in the transport of passengers from one point to the other. They undergo scrutiny before the actual hiring. In addition, they are well adept at dealing with passengers, regardless of language. Lastly, they are well adept at the local Bury routes and regulations; turning the trip into an exciting sightseeing fare.
Other than the two categories, there is a common service that minibus Bury service provides; the airport transfer shuttles. A longer winding route should never follow a long flight in a crowded public transport system. The public means turn out to be stressful episodes, with crowded buses, little legroom and unreliable schedules. This can turn out to be quite a task for business people seeking a quick rest before moving on to other meeting. Minibus hire Bury company offer reliable, convenient and on time transfer to and from the airport. They have invested in software, which tracks a flight's itinerary. This ensures that the shuttle will be there to get the client, regardless of the fact that the flight delayed or on time. The trained staff attends to the luggage as the client sinks into the comfortable seats ready for transfer to the hotel. With prior notice, the hire company actually books the hotel for the client in advance.

Clinical Education Specialist- Simulation Mastery
Children's Minnesota
Context: : The Radiology department leadership at Children's Minnesota requested the simulation department assist in addressing a potential safety concern. Audits conducted in the radiology department raised awareness regarding adherence to MRI timeout practices. A Simulation-Based Mastery Learning (SBML) curriculum was developed to improve adherence to MRI timeout best practices. MRI technologist performance of MRI timeout was assessed utilizing a standardized participant simulation and checklist. Challenges were embedded within the simulation to assess the participants' ability to speak up in the face of hierarchy. This was a novel application of SBML with MRI technologists and utilized Lewin's change model to assist with organizational change.
Description: : SBML was utilized as the conceptual framework.[1] After observation of current MRI timeout practice, a simulation scenario utilizing best practice standards for MRI safety was created. Each MRI technologist, on three campuses, was required to complete a standardized participant (SP) simulation. Three SPs played the parent, sedation nurse, and anesthesiologist. Content experts completed a modified Delphi process to develop an assessment tool based on national best practice standards. Minimum passing standard was set utilizing the patient safety method.[2] Standard questions were asked following the simulation to attain perceptions around current MRI timeouts.
Observation/Evaluation: : All MRI technologists met mastery in the first attempt, including embedded challenges for speaking up. Analysis of the responses to the post-simulation questions revealed four themes from each question. Themes for barriers to MRI timeout included: lack of knowledge, lack of engagement, environmental risk, and code blue risks. Themes for what is going well with MRI timeout included: repetitive, compliance, assertive MRI technologist, and process.
Discussion: : Considering we found that all MRI technologists met mastery in the first attempt, safety risk does not appear to come from their ability to adhere to a previously established process. The qualitative data indicates there are other factors that need to be taken into consideration to address patient safety related to MRI timeouts. Following Lewin's change theory[3], the SP simulation and subsequent questions completed our unfreezing component. During the unfreezing stage, buy-in was developed with the Radiology department and current safety data and risks were shared with staff. In order to include recommendations on possible changes, examination of current education on MRI safety was included in the unfreezing stage. The following stage of Lewin's change theory will be the change stage, which will include our recommendations to update the education plan for the staff outside of the radiology department and to adapt the employee MRI form to include a Code blue safety statement requiring a signed agreement. These recommendations will address many of the themes identified in the interview process.

A major catastrophe in the streets of College and Bay caused one woman to be seriously injured and the Toronto police sent two other women and a child to the hospital.
Toronto paramedics say three people taken to the hospital are pedestrians.
One other person was assessed on the spot, but was not taken to hospital, rescuers from Toronto added.
Pictures from the scene show a few people who look after someone on earth shortly after the catastrophe that took place around 15.20.
There are three damaged vehicles nearby.

Sergeant Brett Moore of Traffic Services said in a Twitter video that it looks like one driver "broke the light" by starting a chain of collisions. He said all drivers remained in place.
The police closed the intersection and the TTC service is being diverted. Authorities urge people to avoid this area during rush hour.
Investigators are looking for witnesses, although Moore said the incident was probably recorded on video. "There are cameras everywhere at the intersection," he said.
