UniSA Ventures secures IP protection and subsequently works with inventors to identify appropriate commercial partners to take on the IP by way of license or assignment and further develop the innovation with the aim of delivering new products and services to market. In some instances a new spinout company may be formed with rights to develop and commercialise the IP assets. In this scenario, UniSA Ventures would normally support the new venture with seed capital and corporate governance resources.

2015 Local Government Associations Roads and Works conference
28 August 2015
Unity College (High School Campus)
Murray Bridge SA
Thank you very much, Dave [Burgess] and good morning ladies and gentlemen, before I start I would like to particularly acknowledge:
- My colleague the Member for Barker—Tony Pasin MP;
- The SA LGA President—Mayor Dave Burgess;
- The Mayor of The Rural City of Murray Bridge—Brenton Lewis;
- And of course, all the other Mayors, Council Chairs and Council staff here this morning.
It is a great pleasure to be here today to talk to you about our Government's commitment to local communities in South Australia—and their role in delivering a strong and prosperous local economy, with strong jobs growth, and better opportunities.
As part of this Government's commitment to driving economic growth we have delivered in our first year, the three biggest and most comprehensive Free Trade Agreements in our nation's history.
To ensure we make the most of the opportunities from the FTAs and enable South Australian producers to effectively engage in these new markets, we are getting on with the job of delivering an infrastructure package that is improving road and freight rail links in every state and territory—projects in all our biggest cities and smallest of local communities.
SA Local Govt issues—FAGs & Supp. Funding
Creating a stronger Australia requires a laser-like focus on the future, and partnerships between governments are integral to getting there. Our Government is proud to be delivering the vital infrastructure communities need in partnership with state and local government, especially through a number of new programmes designed to deliver the big national rail and highway projects and last mile connections.
Before I talk about the Government's continued investment in local government, I'd first like to address some issues I know are of concern to South Australian local government.
The Financial Assistance Grant temporary indexation pause is unpopular—we knew it would be and it was not a decision we took lightly.
When we were elected almost two years ago we inherited $123 billion in projected future deficits. We have got that down by about $40 billion… it's what we were elected to do and it was the responsible thing to do… but it did not make it any easier.
Despite our Budget repair job, Councils will still receive $9.45 billion in Financial Assistance Grants across the forward estimates.
This year South Australian councils alone will receive $152 million—and to make the burden easier for Councils we paid more than half the money early, mostly before the end of last financial year, so you can earn extra interest on the advance payment.
Staying with federal assistance, I'd like to clarify the issues surrounding the Supplementary Local Road Funding Programme paid only to South Australian Councils.
I acknowledge that South Australians consider their proportion of the Identified Local Road Grant national pool is inequitable—even though this was the proportion that was agreed by the South Australian government at a Special Premiers conference in 1990.
When the Howard Government commenced the SA Supplementary Programme in 2004-05 to bolster South Australia's share, the federal government's underlying cash surplus was $13.6 billion.
Upon our election, the federal government had a $48.5 billion cash deficit.
What's more, the previous Federal Government had not provided funding in the forward estimates to continue the programme beyond the election year; so new money would have to have been found and offset by cuts to other programmes to reinstate the programme.
After six years of the Labor's waste and mismanagement the Government is simply not in a financial position to continue to supplement South Australia for a decision the state made 25 years ago.
Having said that, if local governments around Australia are able to agree on a revised formulae for the interstate distribution of road funding to Councils that gives South Australia a better share—I will support it and the federal government will agree.
I accept I am giving you a very tough challenge. I was appalled that the States have not been prepared to countenance any adjustment to the GST distribution formulae to address the unjust and embarrassing disadvantage that has developed over the years for Western Australia.
Since South Australia and other states showed little sympathy for Western Australia, it would not be surprising if other states resisted any reform to the distribution of local government road funding also.
But, the good news is South Australian councils are winners from this Government's commitment to building the infrastructure of the 21st Century.
We are providing $171 million in additional funding to South Australian local roads through the Roads to Recovery and Blackspots programmes and other regional road projects—that puts into perspective the $18 million a year at stake for South Australian councils though the Supplementary Local Roads Programme.
We understand the importance of our partnerships with local governments—you are essential for providing the quality local roads we need and that's why we are investing in record amounts.
Roads to Recovery
The Government is delivering a record $3.2 billion Roads to Recovery programme—that is an increase of 286 per cent for 2015/16 and 330 per cent in 2016/17.
South Australian Councils will receive over $288 million from 2014/15 to 2018/19—$130 million more than previously committed.
This year, the Rural City of Murray Bridge will receive $968,000 in Roads to Recovery funding—that's a 286 per cent increase in funding this year alone. Next year it will go up again to $1.1 million—a 330 per cent investment in your local roads to grow our economy and strengthen communities.
Not only has this Government increased funding by $1.45 billion, we have ensured this programme is here to stay by removing the sunset clause in the legislation.
Roads to Recovery is now permanent—something Labor failed to do when in office and voted against in the House of Representatives.
This investment in, and commitment to, the Roads to Recovery programme demonstrates the value this Government puts in our partnership with local government.
I want to encourage Local Government to make good use of this money for local roads and streets. We want you to use it promptly. We are providing the investment in part to help stimulate the economy and to provide construction jobs at a time when the mining expansion boom has slowed.
There has never been a better time to build roads. Tendering is keen and we expect to see real action. If you do not claim your entitlement promptly I will never be able to persuade the Treasurer again that Local Government should be given the opportunity to participate in economic stimulus and infrastructure investment.
Bridges Renewal Programme
As you know, bridges connect communities and industries, and drive economic growth—that's why this Government has committed $300 million in the new Bridges Renewal Programme.
In February, three South Australian projects received funding under Round One of the programme.
As you would know, Round Two closes on Monday. We have decided that this round will be reserved specifically for Local Government bridges. The round will provide funding of up to $100 million exclusively to local councils to enhance the productivity of bridges serving local communities, and allow access by higher productivity vehicles.
We have been working with councils to ensure their projects have the best possible chance of success by streamlining the application form and providing more guidance in the application process, and better feedback directly to Councils and at forums such as this.
The Black Spot Programme
The Government has committed an extra $200 million to the Black Spot Programme—bringing total funding for the programme to $500 million over the five years to 2019.
$41 million to 2019 has been provided to overcome accident Black Spots in South Australia.
In 2015-16, 37 South Australian Black Spots will be addressed with funding totaling $16.6—an increase of $10.6 million from 2014-15.
In addition to expanding the Black Spots Programme, we have made it easier for Councils to access the funding by broadening the eligibility criteria for the Programme for the next two years.
When it comes to road safety, prevention is certainly better than cure.
That's why we have amended the criteria for Black Spots funding to allow more investment in the proactive treatment of unsafe roads. Consultative Panels will able to allocate up to 40 per cent of funding to sites on the basis of a road safety audit—rather than have to wait for accidents to happen.
To further expand eligibility for the program, the minimum Benefit Cost Ratio for proposals has been reduced from 2:1 to 1:1—a very significant shift.
The Government has also guaranteed that at least 50 per cent of funding provided over the next two years will be dedicated to fixing roads in regional Australia.
The closing date for 2016-17 nominations in South Australia is 31 October 2015—and I encourage you to nominate black spots for funding.
Heavy Vehicles Safety and Productivity Programme
The Government has committed an additional $200 million for projects under its expanded Heavy Vehicle Safety & Productivity Programme.
The Programme aims to improve productivity and safety outcomes for heavy vehicle operations across Australia, through funding infrastructure projects to ensure more local motorists and freight companies get to make the heavy vehicle sector safer.
Truck drivers and other heavy vehicle operators in South Australia will benefit from $7 million in new road and industry upgrades under Round 4 of the Programme.
This includes $2.46 million to the Rural City of Murray Bridge to improve road surfaces and upgrade five intersections to meet B-Double standards.
The project will address 'whole of journey' and 'last mile' issues. The new B-Double route avoids traffic and pedestrian conflict points, aligns with State strategies and industry needs and improves the efficiency of north-south freight movement.
I expect Round 5 will open later this year and I, again, encourage councils to apply.
National Heavy Vehicle Regulator
More generally, heavy vehicle regulation is an area where local governments and the Australian Government need to work better together.
As you know, local councils have legal obligations as road managers under the Heavy Vehicle National Law, especially relating to heavy vehicle access to their road networks—including deciding which heavy vehicles may use their road network and the conditions under which they will operate.
When the National Law took effect in February last year, it seems most councils were taken by surprise—it is fair to say outcomes fell short of expectations.
Many transport, agricultural and construction companies were not able to get timely road access or permits because local councils had never given thought to the policy issues involved or what parts of their road network were suitable for over width or over weight vehicles.
This was particularly evident in relation to over-mass vehicles, and special purpose vehicles like agricultural machinery and mobile cranes.
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator has since been undertaking an educational campaign to ensure local councils understand their role and obligation as road managers.
Equally, local councils need to be aware of the whole of government policy agreed by transport Ministers in November 2014 regarding the mapping of key freight routes initiative, to maximize the flexibility available to heavy vehicle operators to improve road access for heavy vehicles which will bring significant productivity benefits to the Nation.
I encourage local councils to work collaboratively with the NHVR to drive economic growth in our regions and urban centres.
National Stronger Regions Fund
Our commitment to regional South Australia is, again, highlighted through significant funding under our new National Stronger Regions Fund and our Community Development Grants programme.
Round One of the National Stronger Regions Fund is delivering $16.5 million to projects in South Australia to stimulate economic growth and address areas of disadvantage.
Not far from here, at Tailem Bend, we are supporting the development of the SA Motorsport Park project, creating jobs during its construction and into the future.
Applications under Round Two of the Fund have closed and are currently under consideration, and new funding will be available to support many important projects over the years to come.
We have also provided 20 Community Development Grants in South Australia with a total value of $31.6 million, which support projects ranging from sporting facility upgrades to tourism ventures and town centre redevelopments.
Under this year's Federal Budget, we announced our new Stronger Communities Programme, which is providing $45 million over two years to fund small capital projects in local communities.
Funding of $150,000 a year for two years to every federal electorate in Australia commencing in 2015-16 will be available to support projects that deliver social and economic benefits in local communities.
Applicants can apply for funding of between $5,000 and $20,000, matched by cash or in-kind funding.
The Stronger Communities Programme will hopefully fill gaps that can be left by other programmes, by focusing on small grants for projects that boost the vibrancy and livability of communities—so councils and other local sporting, community and service organisations can receive support for projects that will help your community and region to grow and flourish.
Water Infrastructure
This Government believes in regional Australia—when our regions are strong, then so is our nation.
In addition to our significant investment in regional and urban infrastructure, the Government has set up a new National Water Infrastructure Development Fund with $500 million available for water infrastructure projects.
$50 million has been allocated to support the planning and investigation necessary to assess and plan viable projects for investment, and $450 million is available to construct water infrastructure in partnership with other government or industry.
The Government is determined to end dam phobia and get water conservation and storage projects underway.
There is a long and growing list of suggested sites and projects that could benefit from funding right across the country—I urge you to come to us with your shovel ready projects so we can get on with the job of delivering the vital water infrastructure our regions—and your agricultural producers—desperately need.
Major SA Transport Infrastructure Projects
The Government has made an unprecedented nation-wide commitment of over $50 billion to infrastructure investment, with a focus on major transport projects. The recent announcement of our Northern Australia package brought our commitments to investment in productive infrastructure, to nearly $57 billion.
In 2015-16 alone we are providing over $478 million for major transport infrastructure projects in South Australia, and $2.1 billion will be invested here in the five years to 2018-19.
Our highest priority in urban South Australian infrastructure is to finally deliver the North-South Road Corridor through Adelaide—that's action after the talk that started back in the 1960s.
The North-South project will progressively deliver major travel time savings over the next decade, especially during peak periods—and substantially boost the productivity of Adelaide's transport network.
The Australian Government has committed $944 million to the priority Darlington and Torrens Road to River Torrens upgrades.
The Darlington upgrade project, which will begin later this year, will support about 370 jobs a year during its construction—and the Torrens project, which commenced this month, will support 480 jobs a year during construction.
Indigenous Transport Infrastructure Projects
Creating real opportunities and progress for all Australians wherever they live—including Indigenous Australians—is a high priority for this Government.
We are supporting remote Indigenous South Australians through the $85 million we are providing to improve roads in the APY Lands which will greatly improve safety, service access outcomes and employment opportunities for APY Lands communities.
The development of road infrastructure and transport networks creates particular challenges for local governments.
For rural councils their networks are usually characterized by long distances and low traffic counts. In cities the networks require higher standards, and therefore higher costs.
Over $13.6 billion in Commonwealth funding is on the table for Australian Councils, most of which can be used for local roads including:
- $9.45 billion in untied Financial Assistance Grants;
- A record $3.2 billion Roads to Recovery programme;
- Up to $100 million under Round Two of the Government's new $300 million Bridges Renewal Programme;
- $500 million for the Black Spot Programme, which includes an additional $100 million in both 2015-16 and 2016-17; and the
- $200 million Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program.
Together with Councils, our investment continues to boost the South Australian economy, create thousands of jobs, increase capacity on our freight routes, reduce congestion and improve safety for all road users—be they urban, rural or remote.
I appreciate the opportunity to be with you this morning and outline the Australian Government's commitment to the work you do for your local communities.
Thank you.

BlackBerry Priv Android Handset Keeps Focus on Security-Minded Buyers
BlackBerry Priv Android Handset Keeps Focus on Security-Minded Buyers
The BlackBerry Priv security- and privacy-focused smartphone is notable in several respects. For one, it's BlackBerry's first fully Android-based phone.
This Is an Android-Based Smartphone
The obvious difference between the Priv and every other smartphone BlackBerry has released to this point is that it's running on Google's Android. While BlackBerry opted against Marshmallow, the latest Android version, the company promises that the Lollipop installation will be fully patched at launch to keep users safe.
The Priv Has a Large Curved Display
The BlackBerry Priv comes with a curved screen that looks similar, but not identical, to Samsung's Galaxy Edge line. Perhaps more importantly, the device's screen is nice and big at 5.4 inches. It features a 2,560 by 1,440 resolution. While the display is neither the biggest on the market nor the best-looking, it's certainly on par with other high-end devices that feature nice screens.
It's All About Security and Privacy
The BlackBerry Priv is named for privacy. To deliver on that, BlackBerry says that it has built out a new platform, called DTEK that will help users know when they're being spied upon. DTEK is essentially a warning system built into an app to help users determine which apps are accessing their private data. In addition to DTEK, users will find Android for Work integration, sandboxing and embedded crypto keys at every layer to secure the handset. The BlackBerry Priv should be a standout when it comes to privacy and security.
Full Access to Google Play Apps
While BlackBerry has offered access to Android apps through Amazon's Appstore in BlackBerry 10, the company has changed gears a bit with the Priv. The latest handset from BlackBerry comes will full support for Google's Play Apps marketplace, giving users all of the apps they would expect to find in a mobile marketplace. It's a smart move on BlackBerry's part, considering Google Play is so big and popular.
An Eye on the Power Under the Hood
From a power perspective, the BlackBerry Priv holds its own. The device runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor and has 3GB of RAM. BlackBerry says that the processor, which has a 1.8GHz clock speed, will easily handle most applications, and there's no reason to suggest it won't. Indeed, for enterprise-focused apps that require more power, the Priv should perform just fine.
A Surprisingly Strong Camera
BlackBerry made a surprising move by spending a little extra on a nicer camera in the Priv. The handset has an 18-megapixel rear-facing camera with a special Schneider-Kreuznach lens. The front-facing camera comes in at 5 megapixels, putting it ahead of several top competitors. The rear-facing camera, however, is the feature that will impress those who like to snap photos with a cell phone.
There's a Touch-Screen
It's odd in a world where touch-screens abound, but BlackBerry still has a hard time explaining that its products do in fact come with a touch-screen. But just to be clear, the BlackBerry Priv does have a touch display and allows for full multi-touch gestures. As BlackBerry's own marketing materials show, BlackBerry is both "touch and type."
A Slide-Out Keyboard to Complement the Touch-Screen
True to its history, BlackBerry isn't yet ready to give up on physical keys. Tucked behind the touch-screen in the BlackBerry Priv is a slide-out physical keyboard. The keyboard is the familiar QWERTY version that BlackBerry has long offered. Enterprise customers who like the idea of a physical keyboard will like the Priv.
Battery Life Is Top Notch
BlackBerry has done a fine job of delivering top-notch battery life in the Priv. The smartphone comes with a massive 3,410mAh battery. That should be sufficient for just about every need and last all day long with constant talk time. Independent figures won't be known until the battery is properly benchmarked, but according to BlackBerry, the device can last up to 22.5 hours of "mixed usage."
The Price Is About What Customers Expect
The BlackBerry Priv's high-end features and its focus on enterprise security means one thing: It's not cheap. Customers interested in buying the smartphone can preorder it now for $699. It's also worth noting that the handset is not compatible right now with Verizon or Sprint, so only those customers on AT&T and T-Mobile will be able to get their hands on the smartphone when it starts shipping on Nov. 6.

Have you ever thought of how hilarious we adults are when it comes to babies and kids? For this week's Five on Friday, I give you five things parents do to their children that would be creepy if done to adults:
1. Taking a long, deep whiff of baby's head with their eyes closed
We all love the smell of a baby's head. But picture yourself doing that to the person in front of you at Starbucks? "Excuse me sir, but your shampoo is just…delicious. Mmmmm…."
2. Sneaking in to the child's room at night and whispering 'I love you' in their ear, then staring at them while grinning for a bit
We have all done this. I still do it and probably will continue until my sons move out. Which may or may not be the reason why they would move. However, picture yourself waking up at three in the morning with someone staring at you, a streak of moonlight resting gently across their eyes…
3. Telling the baby, "I just want to eat your face" (see also toes, cheeks)
I dare you to try this to a stranger. Actually I don't, because you would probably get arrested.
4. Putting their nose up to baby's bum for the purpose of smelling for poop
This would make a terrific party game at your next holiday bash! Admittedly, sometimes this needs to be done for the greater good; often when there are a bunch of diaper-clad little humans in a large group. There will always come the time when the Dreaded Aroma makes an appearance and each parent will have to bend down and take a whiff at their baby's behinds to see if they won this cruel lottery.
5. Rejoicing when they poop on the toilet, then doling out rewards thereafter
Yay! You did, babe! Your 342,938th poo poo on the potty! Let's go for ice cream!
Did I miss any? I'm sure there are many more…

This Monday I was invited by the lovely Wimborne WI to demonstrate how to make 'Handbags and Manbags' and 'Origami Easter baskets'! Was such a lovely time. Here are their wonderful creations!
Some very creative bags. My favourite part of any workshop is watching all that creativity evolve.
Here are a few baskets I made in preparation for the workshop.
Just so you know ... The cream eggs didn't survive the journey! (actually they never made it to that day!)
These little baskets are so easy and fun! I have made a few kits for people to buy so they can make their own. Kits contains enough papers and cut flowers to make 2 bags! Oh and instructions of course!
Well another workshop booked for next week, hopefully this will go just as well.
Thank you Wimborne WI for a lovely afternoon.

You'll be hosted by River Dancers and their expert team of river guides. They've been guiding people down this magical stretch of river for more than twenty years, and they love bringing the perfect combination of safety and adventure, sprinkled with a touch of the sacred. They'll make all the meals, set up camp (including privacy screened port-a-potty facilities), and guide you safely through extraordinary places accessible only by raft. This river trip will be alcohol-free.
Where It Happens
Cascading out of the mountains of southern Oregon, the Klamath River runs free for over 200 miles through the Siskiyou mountains of northern California. Beginning near the historic mining town of Happy Camp, California, the Lower Klamath offers a perfect combination of gentle pools, whitewater, wildlife, and fabulous mountain scenery.
The nearest airport is Medford, Oregon, which is about 2.5 hours' drive from Happy Camp. Approximate drive times from major cities include: Portland, 5 hours; San Francisco, 6 hours; and Sacramento, 5 hours. We may be able to help you coordinate carpooling.

The Bloomington (IN) Herald-Times featured an article yesterday about greening older homes. It's great to see that the same historic preservationists that have kept so many of our treasured older buildings from being destroyed are now incorporating energy efficient practices into their work.
Since its inception in 1993 publicity around the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has largely focused on new construction, in an attempt to stop shoddy and energy-wasting building practices before they begin. But the USGBC hasn't totally ignored the greening of existing homes.
The USGBC recently joined forces with the American Society of Interior Designers' (ASID) Foundation to create REGREEN, which provides best
practice guidelines and targeted educational resources for sustainable
residential improvement projects. On the REGREEN website you'll find terrific resources and case studies to help guide renovation efforts, including a Deep Energy Retrofit Case Study.
Many older homes can be made energy-efficient and, if the house is not completely ruined, this is always preferable to tearing down an existing home and replacing it with a new one. Preservationists might want to have a look at the deep green renovation of a 1915 Craftsman bungalow recently completed by the founder of USGBC, David Gottfried, whose home is rated LEED Platinum.
In the same spirit, LEED for Homes awards additional rating points for building a new house where another house once stood, and building it near essential services to minimize driving.
The building of our own green home was greatly enhanced because we chose to work with a seasoned contractor with a long history of restoring older homes, the Golden Hands Construction company, owned by Chris Sturbaum. In short, preservationists and green builders/renovators are on the same team, and are beginning to work together. That's good news for all of us.

The NFL is reportedly investigating whether the New Orleans Saints stashed linebacker Todd Davis in their practice facility while the Denver Broncos were making a waiver claim on him.
Update: The NFL has cleared the Saints of any wrongdoing. Here's the full release from the league, per ProFootballTalk.com:
"The Saints have been in compliance with league rules with regard to this situation."
The Saints lost to the Bengals on Saturday, 27-10.
The NFL is investigating whether the New Orleans Saints stashed rookie linebacker Todd Davis in their practice facility on Thursday to thwart a waiver claim by the Denver Broncos, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday.
According to Schefter, the Saints waived Davis this week but planned to sign him back to their practice squad, which he has bounced on and off from throughout the season. The Saints allegedly kept Davis in team meetings at their training facility throughout the day on Thursday, the same day the Broncos claimed him. The Broncos wanted to fly Davis out to Denver so he could practice on Friday, but were unable to reach him while he was in meetings with the Saints.
Davis reportedly did meet with the Broncos on Saturday, but the NFL had already begun investigating the Saints, per Schefter's report. A Saints official denied any impropriety on Sunday morning. According to Schefter, the Saints could face a "stiff" fine if the NFL finds evidence of any wrongdoing.
• Picks: Can Sanchez lead Eagles past Packers?
Davis signed with the Saints in June after going undrafted in May's draft out of Sacramento State. He recorded three tackles for the Saints this season, playing mainly on special teams.
New Orleans (4-5) hosts the Cincinnati Bengals (5-3-1) Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.

Justice Ain found Prodigy more like a book publisher than a bookstore largely because it used to pre-screen all user messages for offensive language, a practice it revised two years ago. The ruling-and Prodigy's argument that as a "bookstore" it is not responsible for the content on its service-miss the point entirely.
Prodigy is neither bookstore nor book publisher. It's a new medium conducting business in an amorphous place called cyberspace. New benchmarks and new rules must take into account the unique features and capabilities of the online medium. And whatever system that's arrived at should encourage corporate responsibility and self-regulation-not penalize it.
The New York ruling, and calls for tough federal laws against on-line pornography trafficking, raise legitimate issues. But the solution is not to force online services to flee from any attempt at supervising their bulletin boards-or to stop offering them altogether. This would make cyberspace even wilder than it is today, or deprive businesses and consumers of one of the true benefits of emerging communications technologies.
So Prodigy is to be tried in part because it once tried to keep obscene and racist messages off its service. The New York courts can still turn back from this path, and they should. Meanwhile, Congress and other legislatures should learn from this that creative new policymaking is called for. As the Prodigy libel case shows, laws and policies developed over the years for other media can be poor fits here.

Can a Black Engagement Ring Look Feminine?
I will admit that, although I do not consider myself a 'girly-girl', I do appreciate feminine touches to things, especially jewellery. F complains of this sometimes contradictory characteristic of mine and claims he never knows whether to buy me flowers or a trowel.
So he was not all that surprised when I showed great interest in the idea of a black engagement ring. However, he was surprised that I was drawn to them for their femininity.
The Wondrous World of Black
We have both discovered that black rings come in many guises. Some are created with dramatic looking black diamonds or exotic black pearls and we have also seen some featuring a deep black shaded onyx. Others are made from black metals with soft smoky finishes such as oxidized silver or black rhodium silver.
Each ring is always strikingly unique and carries an aura of mystery and sophistication.
I think my interest in the black engagement ring was originally piqued by one of our designers, Ornella Iannuzi. Ornella crafts stunning black rings from a variety of metals and pairs them with delicate pearls in a magnificent ode to the natural world, which is one of her primary inspirations. F quickly agreed, after seeing Ornella's work, that every one of her designs were ultra-feminine and exquisitely beautiful.
The Finer Details
I have always been drawn to engagement rings that have delicate and ornate details added to them, such as intricate carvings and metalwork techniques. I have also found that these details are beautifully enhanced when set in a black precious metal. This, to me, is the feminine look that can be superiorly achieved with a black ring band. The details simply stand out more and enhance the overall look of the ring wonderfully.
Complementary Partnership of Colour
I have found that the most feminine looking black engagement rings play off the contrast of colours between the metal and the stone. Vibrantly coloured gemstones take on a whole new life when set against the rich black colour of oxidized silver. And, like with most black accessories, the look is extremely flattering on my hand. Even F had to admit that the black engagement ring sporting a vivid pink sapphire centre stone that I tried on the other day was, without a doubt, exquisitely feminine.
Initially I had assumed that a black engagement ring would possibly be too bold and slightly masculine looking. However, after seeing how this colour can be manipulated and forged into the most feminine and elegant of rings, I am sure that even my supressed 'girly' side would be thrilled to receive one of these.

Our wonderful customers are the reason we are in business. Below are some comments from our families and consumers.
"In March of 2007 our son's name came up on the HCS list. Needless to say we were thrilled. He had been on the waiting list for almost 10 years! With this good news we were also in a dilemma. We knew we had to pick a provider but WHOM? By the nature of my job I was familiar with some of the names. Through some investigation we decided to go with DRACO. That was a very wise decision on our part. Shortly after we went with DRACO we decided to become our son's foster parents (through the HCS program). DRACO made that process very easy. We have been very satisfied with the staff and if we ever have a concern or question they are very accommodating and are willing to do what ever needs to be done to satisfy us. Because of the experience we have had so far with DRACO, my husband and I would feel very comfortable in recommending them to any other parents looking for a provider." — C.S. – Mother and Foster Care Provider; Special Education Parent Liason
"Draco's success as a company lies in the strength of their employees and the structure of their character. I have embraced the Draco concept of providing excellent care through training and a strong support team. I've gained precious insight on how to give exceptional care to my two foster sons." — S.B. – Draco Foster Care Provider
"Home." — M.P. – Consumer
"I love living here!" — Jim C.A. – Consumer
"I interviewed multiple providers prior to choosing Draco. I was impressed with their professionalism, supportive nature and knowledge of the service system – all this while maintaining a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. We love you guys!" — K.W. – Mother and Foster Provider
"Draco has been extremely good to us. Alterations made to our home has made my son's life much better. He now has access to his backyard which he hasn't been able to do easily for the last 20 years." — S.H. – Mother and Foster Provider

On 25 May 2016, the EU agreed new rules on medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
The Netherlands presidency of the Council and representatives of the European Parliament reached a political agreement. It is still subject to approval by the Council's Permanent Representatives Committee and of the Parliament's ENVI committee.
The agreed two draft regulations are expected to achieve a twofold aim: making sure that medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices are safe while allowing patients to benefit from innovative health care solutions in a timely manner.

The roads in Henderson County are "extremely hazardous" according to Rocky Hyder, director for Henderson County Emergency Services.
The roads in Henderson County are "extremely hazardous" according to Rocky Hyder, director for Henderson County Emergency Services.
"We still have at least a few days of treacherous roads," Hyder added this morning.
The main roads - including Main Street, Four Seasons Boulevard, other roads downtown, Greenville and Spartanburg highways and North Main Street in the city limits, have been plowed and treated recently but are still covered in snow and slick.
Secondary roads haven't been touched and are only passable with four-wheel drive. Many of the roads only have one lane clear.
There are cars on the road but not many, and the majority of those vehicles are 4-wheel drive trucks and SUVs.
Most gas stations and some grocery stores are closed. Walmart, hardware stores and several pharmacies are open. The Post Office will deliver mail.
Just about everything was closed this morning downtown, but Black Bear Coffee was open for business on Main Street.
There were more signs of life on Four Seasons Boulevard near I-26.
Most of the boulevard was clear as well as streets in downtown Hendersonville.
Workers were scraping the mall parking lot out and people sat inside Denny's enjoying breakfast. Other businesses such as Hardee's, McDonald's and the Exxon gas station were also open. A line of cars slowly followed a grader and three salt trucks past Walmart heading toward downtown Hendersonville.
The interstate has been plowed and treated in both directions. The eastbound lane is still snow covered, but the westbound lane was in better shape and not completely covered.
Department of Transportation crews are still working to clear Interstate 26 early this morning, and then will start clearing primary roads.
With the area heading back into the deep freeze tonight, little improvement overall in road conditions is expected. It won't get into the 30s today, forecasters say, and lows overnight will fall into the mid teens.
"Stay in is the best advice," Hyder said.
All power has been restored to customers in Henderson, Transylvania and Polk counties.
"That's been a very nice aspect," Hyder added. "We're very fortunate. We haven't had any calls with the emergency shelter."
The emergency shelters are still on standby.
As of 12:30 p.m., the company reports about 45,782 outages in its North Carolina and South Carolina service territory.
The hardest hit areas are in the far western portions of North Carolina – Graham, Jackson, Macon and Swain counties. According to a release from the company, an additional 200 personnel is being deployed to those affected counties. Although the company is making progress in restoring power to these counties, restoration for some customers could be 11 p.m. Tuesday.
At 9:30 a.m. this morning, Walmart, Home Depot and Lowe's were all sold out of shovels. While shovels were hard to come by, Ace Hardware still had some, as well as sleds for $40.
The National Weather Service expects snow and sleet to continue today. Sleet should be expected mainly before 1 p.m., a mixture between 1 and 4 p.m., and mainly snow after 4 p.m. Less than half-an-inch of additional accumulation is expected.
The high will be around 26. The low tonight will be around 18 degrees, with a slight chance of snow before 1 a.m.
The Asheville Airport has canceled almost all flights coming in and going out due to the weather, said a spokesperson for the airport.
Hannah Flanagan's on Main Street opened their doors as well on Saturday.
"A lot of our regular customers live in the city," said Matt Johnes, owner of the Irish pub. "A lot of them live within walking distance."
Snow days create a unique environment in the eatery.
"It's definitely a special occasion. People make a special occasion out of it," Johnes added. "People have a lot of fun with it. It's fun for the staff. Fun for the customers."
There was a pretty good crowd in the restaurant considering the conditions of the roads. Johnes added Hannah's tries to open whenever they can to provide a place for their customers to go. Johnes said they stay open as long as they can, but it depends on the conditions of the roads. The consideration is for the employees to come in or get home.
However, the recent snowstorms have hurt business.
"That hurt us this year because Friday is always the busiest day of the week" for the Irish pub, Johnes explained. "We have a lot of dinner business that we lost both with this snowstorm and the one last year."
"We need snowstorms to go on a Monday or Tuesday," he added, with a laugh.
Black Bear Coffee on Main Street was the first business open on Main Street. By 11:30 a.m., about 20 of the "regulars" were in the coffee shop.
"I've been happy to see a lot of our regulars," said Nathan Morris, an employee with Black Bear.
The snow, of course, has cut out foot traffic into the shop. Morris said he's seen a few people driving around in four-wheel drive vehicles with chains. He walked to work this morning.
"Certainly not as busy as expected," Morris said. But the shop has been serving "plenty of mochas, hot chocolates and lattes" to warm the crowd.
Main Street has been plowed, Morris added, with a few spots cleared out. There is very little traffic.
The Mountain Inn and Suites in Flat Rock were a full capacity last night due to the weather, and general manager Chris Smith expects tonight to be the same.
"We're running strong, staying busy," he said.
The hotel was filled with both area residents, including people who live in Asheville but work in Hendersonville and didn't want to risk driving home last time. There were also a lot of out of town visitors. Smith said the hotel started Friday at 70 percent capacity before filling up by the night's end. Currently, they are at 50 percent capacity.
"We found people who came in last night are not even going to risk it today," Smith added.
While the storm provides a boon for the hotel, it's the employees that may get stuck at their workplace all weekend. Smith said he set aside rooms to house the employees including himself.
Denny's Restaurant of Four Seasons Boulevard was seeing a steady stream of traffic, though it wasn't a usual Saturday crowd.
According to the restaurant's manager, the parking lot was plowed and the restaurant is open. The one problem is employees calling off because they can't get out. Traffic is starting to pick up on the boulevard.
The service for Carrie Maybin scheduled for today has been canceled. Jackson Funeral Service will announce the rescheduled date.
Shuler Funeral Home asks for visitors to verify service information by calling 693-5220. The services may be canceled due to the weather.
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship has canceled all their services for tomorrow.
The National Weather Service frequently updates snow totals at: http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=GSP&product=PNS&format=CI&version=1&glossary=0
Snow began falling in Hendersonville at 2:30 p.m. Friday and continued overnight. By 1:30 a.m., areas such as Fletcher had 11 inches of snow and the snowflakes kept coming.
There were 76 power outages in Henderson County at 1:30 a.m., 132 in Transylvania County and 55 in Polk County.
Forecasters predicted the potent winter storm will bring up to 14 inches of snow by the time it ends tonight.
Road conditions are slick all over the county and rescuers were trying to get to the non-stop accidents Friday, most of which involved cars in ditches or stuck in the road with no injuries.
Conditions got drastically worse as motorists headed out of downtown Hendersonville, and cars were having trouble with some roads. Plows were out but it was still impossible to get up some steep roads.
Police responded to about 35 wrecks from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Most did not have any injuries.
Four Seasons Boulevard heading away from downtown was packed as soon flurries began to fall, as was Walmart and Ingles on 64 east. The first accident came over the scanner at 2:58 p.m. at River Road and School House Road in Etowah.
Up to 7 inches of snow had fallen in some parts of Henderson County by 7 p.m. Friday, and residents braced for about 10 inches through tonight.
Snow began falling in Hendersonville at 2:30 p.m. Friday. An unrelenting stream of accidents and cars into utility poles and ditches from 3 to 5 p.m. kept responders and tow truck drivers busy well into the evening as they slowly tapered off. Police responded to 35 wrecks from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in Henderson County.
Henderson County had 109 power outages at 7:15 p.m. No power outages had been reported by that time in Polk and Transylvania counties, and Duke Power crews and emergency shelters were on standby.
National Weather Service meteorologists said the average snowfall for Henderson County for Friday and Saturday should be around 8.5 inches.
Henderson and Transylvania county schools dismissed students early Friday to stay ahead of the snow. All school sports were canceled and several organizations postponed programs before the winter weather arrived. Blue Ridge Community College dismissed at 3 p.m.
Today, more snow and sleet is in the forecast with a high of only 25 degrees, said Blair Hollaway, Weather Service meteorologist. Tonight there is a slight chance of snow before 1 a.m. as the system moves east and out of the region. The low for this evening will be in the upper teens.
Conditions will greatly improve tomorrow, with highs in the mid 30s under sunny skies.
Road crews ensured plows were prepared for significant snowfall, said Hyder.
A shelter team was on standby at First Baptist Church, where equipment was staged and ready for any influx people.
Hyder said Emergency Services works with The American Red Cross when weather turns bad.
Duke Energy and Progress Energy were also prepared for the worst, Hyder said. N.C. Department of Transportation crews began clearing the major roads as the afternoon snowfall progressed.
Duke Energy is bracing for the storm as it crosses the state.
"We're hoping for the best and preparing for the worst," said Tom Williams, a company spokesperson.
Already, teams have been put into place with crews situating themselves locally.
"The crews are prepared to work -- as long as it's safe -- around the clock," he added.
In the past several days, Duke Energy has been in contact with other companies so they communicate about the needs in different areas. Duke Energy has called on crews from 18 states to help with the work.
The hope is that the weather forecast continues to predict snow and not freezing rain. Snow is less likely to cause power outages than freezing rain or ice, Williams said.
Customers can visit duke-energy.com for information or can call 1-800-POWERON to report a power outage or a limb down on a power line. Anyone who finds a downed power line should avoid it and call the power company.
Thursday and Friday, Department of Transportation crews were using a salt-brine solution on the roads to buy a little time as the snowstorm comes into the area.
"We went over equipment, made sure everything was working," said Steve Cannon with DOT.
The county is split up into six sections, each with a crew. Currently, the teams are on standby, waiting for the snow to get deep enough to start plowing the roads.
Hyder said road clearing crews face the same danger as the public when conditions worsen. Traveling is extremely dangerous during times like this.
As always, don't travel unless you need to, Hyder recommended. He also encourages everyone to get plenty of supplies like food, water and medical necessities in the case of a power outage.
Preparedness is a priority whether you are working to clear roads or keeping your family safe at home.
"At this point in time, we are ready as situations develop," Hyder said Friday afternoon. "We will monitor the situation carefully."
As Sunday approaches, Hyder said he hopes major roads will be cleared and the secondary roadways will get some attention for Monday's morning commute.

I close my eyes, breathe in, breathe out, and smile. As soon as I picture the perfect beach, I begin to imagine the sound of the waves rolling into the scattered sand. My dream house is near the seaside for a reason, you see. Beaches have always had some sort of calming power over me, and I don't suppose that I'm the only one to experience this.Turquoise is the very colour of your perfect sea, and that is one of the many reasons of why I love turquoise so much.It is a colour preferred by many people who I know, and is usually described as a fresh, yet calming colour.
This beautiful colour well with purples, browns, and pinks in particular, however as shown in the pictures I have provided, it can go with almost any colour combination at all! Not to mention that it is an especially spring/summer-y colour that looks absolutely gorgeous in skirts, dresses, and pretty tops!
Well, it's always good to be original in your fashion style, and I would love to hear about how you all put your own twist on turquoise, so be sure to send me pictures to email@example.com (pictures will remain private unless you state otherwise in the email)QOTD: which colours do find the most in your wardrobe?

Power Without Responsibility is a classic introduction to the history, sociology, theory and politics of the media in Britain.
Hailed by the Times Higher as the 'seminal media text', and translated into Arabic, Chinese and other foreign languages, it is an essential guide for media students and critical media consumers alike.
The new edition has been substantially revised to bring it right up-to-date with developments in the media industry, new media technologies and changes in the political and academic debates surrounding the media. In this new edition, the authors consider:
Assessing the media at a time of profound change, the authors set out the democratic choices for media reform.

'Curran and Seaton are indispensible navigators through a media ocean whose sea state is ever more turbulent.'
Peter Hennessy, Attlee Professor of Contemporary British History, Queen Mary, University of London.
'More essential than Essential Law, more elemental than The Elements of Journalism, Power Without Responsibility is an essential work for understanding a trade and an industry under pressure'

For the 5th grade parents and caregivers who missed the information session, this a brief recap of the session. This was a casual meeting with parents asking questions.
Welcome to RAUC by Julie Craven - Principal, Shimika Bonds - Guidance Counselor and Erin Mears - Guidance Counselor.
Welcome to Julie. She is the newly appointment Head of School for the Rindge Avenue Upper School. Previously, she was a teacher at the King Open School and is currently a history coach for the district.
School day structure: Every student starts their day in Advisory, from 8:55 - 9:05AM. Advisory follows the Developmental Design Curriculum, which is a progression of Response Classroom. There are approximately 15 students in Advisory with a teacher, could be a core or specialist teacher. Games and team challenges are vehicles used to get to know each other. Similar to Baldwin, the building is open at 8AM and at 8:40AM, students head to their Advisory classroom.
It is a 5-day schedule. Core classes are 55 minutes (English, Social Studies, Math, and Science). Specialist classes are 45 minutes.
Cohort size: It is targeted to be 88. The current 6th grade at RAUC has 87 students.
Grade/Team Structure: Each grade has a team leader. The team leader is not the contact person, however, they set up the parent conferences. Conferences occur twice a year with 5 teachers meeting with you (4 core teachers and the language teacher * ). In 6th grade, math is co-taught meaning a math teacher and a full-time special educator, dedicated to the math classroom.
* During the first seven weeks of 6th grade, the space in the schedule for foreign language is used as an Intro to Middle School class. This meets three times a week. The focus is on organization skills.
Agenda books are given to the students and students are taught how to keep their work organized. Classes reserve time to review the homework assignment. After 7 weeks, foreign language instruction begins. Students will choose between French and Spanish. They will then continue with this throughout their years at RAUC. Google classroom is used for homework. Classes are heterogeneous.
Class Location: The four core classes for 6th grade are all together in the same area (next door and across the hall). Specialist classes are in different areas of the school. There is no formal passing time, however, specialist teachers escort students back to 6th wing.
Lockers: All students have a locker with a provided lock. The 6th grade lockers are all outside those 4 classrooms.
School Supplies: Students will be required to have some school supplies. It was recommended to wait on purchasing those supplies as some are provided. Items may include binders or notebooks. One item students should have is a pencil case.
Time Management at Home: Help them make lists and then ask them to determine what is the most important or pressing item, talk to them about prioritizing their list.
Support Staff: There are two guidance counselors and one adjustment counselor. One guidance counselor is assigned to 6th grade students, one for 7th grade students. Those two counselors then split the 8th grade.
Middle school is a time for your child to start pressing the boundaries. The job of the middle school faculty to is determine those boundaries and to stand firm to keep students safe and secure.
Role of the guidance counselor academic, behavioral, and social emotional support work with teaching staff to identify at-risk students consultation with outside agencies and after school programs part of the student support team 504 case managers attendance tracking lunch groups peer mediation / conflict resolution communicate with families weekend backpack program

A mockup of a mini-game in my Villain Survival Guide game under development.
Thanks! :)
Thank you! Ah, yes perhaps the the outer line should be darker than the inner line. I'll fix that when I get the chance. :)
This looks great, but watch out for the banding. Especially between the black border and blue cloud thing.
Wow, nice!

Holocaust. Volume 1 contains four plays, all written by survivors. Volume 2 contains six
The Free Zone / The
Workroom by Jean-Claude Grumberg. English translations of two French plays by a
Holocaust survivor, based on his own experiences during and after the war. The Free
Zone tells with humor and warmth the story of a Jewish family seeking refuge in the
unoccupied half of France during WWII. In The Workroom brings to life the

the age of 19.
Voices edited by
Janet Rubin, Research Associate of the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Museum. This anthology pulls together several complete scripts as well
as segments of scripts about the Holocaust. These scripts provide unique opportunities for

I Never Saw Another Butterfly: A
Play by Hana
15,000 children under the age of 15 passed through Terezin from 1942 to 1944; less than
100 survived. Their daily misery, courage, hopes and fears were recorded in poems and
pictures. Their voices survive today.
Judgment at Nuremberg: A Play
by Abby Mann
Abby Mann's riveting drama Judgment at Nuremberg brought some
of the worst Nazi atrocities to public attention and is one of the 20th century's most
important records of the Holocaust. Originally written as a 1957 television play, later
made into an Academy Award winning 1961 film, and available now for the first time in
print (using the text of Mann's recent Broadway adaptation), Judgment at Nuremberg
is as potent and relevant as ever. To this day the Nuremberg trials stand as a model for
international criminal tribunals, due in large measure to the spotlight thrown on them by
Mann's dramatic interpretation of the historic events.
Anne Frank and Me - a
play for young people that shows the lie of Holocaust deniers.
The Diary of Anne Frank (play
and related readings)
The Man in the Glass Booth
by Robert Shaw, set in 1964, the Israeli Mossad kidnaps Jewish businessman Arthur Goldman
from his New York City apartment and brings him to Israel to be tried for war crimes.

Poland's Sobibor death camp. A tale of survival.
A Shayna Maidel by Barbara Lebow - about the
reuniting of two sisters separated by the Holocaust.
Plays of the Holocaust: An
International Anthology
Playing for Time by
Arthur Miller, about the Jewish prisoners of the Auschwitz orchestra.
Theatrical Performance
During the Holocaust collects for the first time critical essays, memoirs, and
primary source materials relating to the history of Jewish drama, cabaret, music, and
opera under the Third Reich.
Staging the Holocaust
: The Shoah in Drama and Performance
by Claude Schumacher (editor). Scholarly analysis of Holocaust
theatrical productions in Israel, America, Poland, France, Italy and Germany. The
collected essays trace the development of the realistic/documentary stagings of the
1950s-1970s to today's avant-garde shows. This is the first book that deals with Holocaust
plays "in performance," and provides many previously unpublished drawings and
documents, as well as an important descriptive bibliography
Spectacular Suffering : Theatre,
Fascism and the Holocaust - this intelligent textbook explores the struggle
to represent--in the theatre, on film and in museums--the unrepresentable landscape of the
Holocaust and urges scholars from a variety of disciplines to re-think how we remember
historical instances of suffering and atrocity.
