Strategic advocacy and law reform
Strategic advocacy and law reform
We are committed to working on the justice system as well as within it.
As an organisation, we are obliged under the Legal Aid Act 1978 to seek innovative means of providing legal assistance to reduce the need for individual legal services. We are also required to provide the community with improved access to justice and legal remedies. One way of achieving this is by pursuing improvements in law and policy that result in better outcomes for our clients and the community more broadly. Strategic advocacy aims to address the root causes of legal problems and provide holistic remedies, rather than simply addressing them in isolation on an individual basis.
Our advocacy work is informed by our broad practice in family, youth, criminal, civil and administrative law. The breadth of our work means we are uniquely placed to identify opportunities for reform within the justice system.
Our work in this area includes:
- running test cases to clarify points of law or challenging the way laws are applied in practice
- making submissions to inquiries and reviews
- advocating directly to government, the courts and private sectors to improve policies and processes
- collaborating with other organisations on law reform initiatives.
Examples of our strategic advocacy work
Some recent examples of our strategic advocacy work include:
- A landmark Supreme Court tenants' rights case which established that low income renters have the right to expect that their housing is fit for occupation even where it is rented out at a low rate.
- Our comprehensive submission to the Access to Justice Review, which highlighted among other things the urgency of eliminating barriers to access to justice for people in regional and outer-metropolitan areas .
- Our collaboration with Mental Health Australia and Beyond Blue on a groundbreaking test case about discriminatory practices by insurers against people with mental illness.
- Our active participation in the Family Violence Royal Commission, which contributed to securing commitments from the State government to expand specialist family violence courts across the state.
Strategic advocacy priorities
Our current strategic advocacy priorities, based on the issues faced by our clients are:
Access to justice for people with mental illness and disability
We aim to ensure that people with disability or mental health problems aren't disadvantaged when exercising their legal rights.
Find out more about Access to justice for people with mental illness and disability.
Appropriate interventions for children and young people
We are committed to ensuring that the special needs of vulnerable children and young people are recognised and reflected in the justice system.
Find out more about Appropriate interventions for children and young people.
Consistent access to diversionary and support services state-wide
We are dedicated to ensuring that all people, wherever they live in Victoria, have access to appropriate diversionary and support services impacting on their legal problems.
More effective responses to gender inequality including sex discrimination and family violence
We are committed to contributing to system wide change that promotes gender equality and assists in reducing the incidence of sex discrimination and family violence.
Find out more about More effective responses to gender inequality including sex discrimination and family violence.

To find out what other policy issues we are working on, see our other justice and law reform activities.

Upper thigh pain during pregnancy
We have many nerves, tendons, muscles and ligaments in our body. These nerves, tendons, muscles and ligaments commonly run through our abdomen or pelvis and down through our legs. During pregnancy the uterus/baby can put pressure on various nerves, tendons, muscles or ligaments. The pressure can causes pain, sometimes the pain is sharp and sometimes it is a dull ache. Frequent position changes and exercise can help reduce these pains.
Comment deleted
Oh man, that one is rough. And they say is so casually "Oh it's round ligament pain, just take it easy..."
No, I can't it hurts! LOL
No, I can't it hurts! LOL

Shot blasting concrete is using a machine which delivers a combination of high-pressure sand and water to remove paint, grime, graffiti, and other materials. Shot blasting a concrete floor requires a little finesse and some practice. Once an operator gets the hang of using the machine, cleaning or stripping concrete floors with a shot blaster becomes much simpler. Caution should be used when operating a shot blaster to avoid bodily injury and damage to the flooring.
Things You'll Need
- Duct tape
- Eye protection
- Ear plugs
- Dust mask
- Gloves
- Heavy boots
Stretch duct tape around the sand-suction hose. This will prevent clogging by suspending the hose away from spray-gun lance. If you do not tape the hose up, water can get into the sand-suction hose and clog up the sand.
Put on heavy boots, eye protection, gloves, ear plugs, and a dust mask. Place the induction probe in the sand reservoir. Close off the reservoir with duct tape. Connect the water supply to the machine and turn the water on. Depress the shot blaster's trigger to bleed any air out of the line. Then, turn the machine on.
Adjust the pressure setting on the shot blaster according to the concrete floor's needs. Start with a low setting and test clean an area of the concrete floor to see if the machine quickly and adequately takes up the paint, grease, or whatever it is you are trying to remove. Increase the pressure setting incrementally until the machine's performance is satisfactory.
Walk in a linear motion across the concrete floor. Starting at the furthest corner in the room and going toward the entryway. Walk slowly and observe the floor as you shot blast. You may have to make several passes over the concrete floor to completely clean it.

Microsoft appears to be working on a file storage system that it can provide to its users. They are calling it "Live Drive" to coincide with the release of multiple Windows Live services. They have hopes to get users to put all of their data on to these servers, even your most personal files. They say that your documents will be secure and that you not have anything to worry about (hmmm…).
This could be Microsoft's way to try and get ahead of Google who accidentally released a publication saying that they are working on a GDrive storage system that will possibly give users unlimited storage space and unlimited bandwidth. Google has not made any guarantees to the information in this publication (they said it was 'accidentally' placed on the web). I guess we will see who can get the file storage done first!

Does anyone here own a bakery and want to share how they got there? im in Highschool right now and im signing up for classes next year (i will be a junior) my goal is to go to a really good pastry school and open a bakery as soon as i can. I might work in a bakery for a few years while im figuring things out. but right now im just curious about which classes would be best for me to reach my goal. Is there any classes that you wish you would have taken that would have helped you?
I would take some business/accounting classes just for the business side of the bakery.
Art classes might help jump start your creativity with designs- get a good sense of color/design schemes. There's always artwork that I look at and want to recreate it in cake
Good luck with your bakery goal!
Im sorry I can't help you with your classes, but your little frisbee saying at the bottom of your post absolutely cracked me up! Hilarious!
I have had two high school students "go through the ropes" at my store. One came to me when she was 14 and said "I want to go to culinary school. I will do anything you need just to get a chance to hang around you guys." I liked her attitude and determination and told her I had an opening for a dishwasher. She could do dishes, and the sooner she got done, then she could "play in sugar with the big dogs." Two years later, she had worked her way out of washing dishes. She is now a junior in college, and asks to come back every summer and Christmas break. She is a very good decorator. When she gets to pastry scholl, she will already be a SUGAR EXPERT!
Tkae some basic classes and PRACTICE. She if you can find someone to mentor you. Good luck!

I met this guy over the internet, we seemed compatible, he a top, me not,
both needing discretion. The problem was hosting. He offered using the
house of a friend of his. I didn't think it through, and was taken for a
loop when we got to the place, and the homeowner was home. I was so jacked
up, and everyone had already seen my face, so I just went with the flow,
but I wasn't prepared for a third, even if he wasn't in the room. I
followed my date to the 'spare' room, kind of nodding, mostly keeping my
head down all the way there.
We went into the room, and it was obvious to my date that I was
uncomfortable at best. I told him I didn't think his buddy would be home,
and felt well, vulnerable. He basically acted as if I was some naive
kid, and I confess to falling for it!. He insisted that it was cool, the
guy wasn't a pervert or anything, that he felt the same way the first time he
had been there. He said the guy was way cool, and basically got off on
helping others to get off. He kept running his hands all over me,
caressing, and slowly undressing me. After I had lost my shirt and shorts,
and was down to a tiny g-string, he led me over to the bed. I kept thinking
that I should stop this somehow, but I surely didn't want to, and didn't!
We were locked in a tight embrace, kissing and shoving our bodies into each
other. One of his hands worked it's way to the back of my head, and slowly
started to pull back on my hair. I should have been alarmed, but instead,
it turned me on even more. He slowly exerted the necessary force to put my
head into his crotch, ordering me to take his dick out, and into my mouth.
I did as I was told, I helped him out of his pants, and then started to
lick and suck all over the front of his tight boxer briefs, all the while
his hand had me firmly by the back of the head. He was shoving my face into
him with more and more force. 'Open wide boy' he said as almost in one
motion he used his free hand to yank his drawers down, and shoved his
mostly hard cock deep into my mouth. It soon became the advertized 8', and
it was all I could do to get him into my mouth. I did a lot of gagging, but
I was off in wonderland. I had no problem with him doing whatever he wanted
to my mouth- and he definitely took advantage of that! He kept the one hand
firmly in charge of my head, but his free hand started to explore my
ass. He pushed the tiny amount of materiel covering my ass aside, and then
went to work 'loosening me up.' First one finger, then two. He soon had
several fingers penetrating me at once, lubing and opening my ass, gently
but quickly.
The assault continued on my face. I was starting to get the hang of it, I
think. I managed to get him deeper and deeper, and didn't gag as much. I
got to feeling his balls slapping into my chin as his cock buried itself
into my throat. Suddenly, both his hands left me, his cock still pounding
in and out. I didn't understand the sounds I was hearing until he pulled
himself free of my mouth, and slid a condom onto the beautiful cock I'd
been worshiping.
He shoved me around, putting my ass up high where my mouth had been, and
shove my face down into the mattress. He ripped my 'G-string' down and off,
and shoved my legs apart. He rubbed some lube on his cock, and my ass, then
slowly inserted himself into me. He was gentle at first, slowly moving in
and out. He let me just about get used to it before he picked up the
pace. Faster and harder he went, and what little control I might have had,
I lost. He began to slam into me with reckless abandon. He didn't care what
I wanted, he was FUCKING me. And man was I loving it! It seemed like an
eternity that passed in a second. He soon began to tense up, and I soon
felt him cumming inside of me. WOW! He had me seeing stars, I was in
He collapsed on top of me, and turned us slightly on our sides, hugging me
close to him, and he began to stroke my cock. I felt his semi hard cock
peacefully resting up against my ass cheeks, and his free arm pulled me
tight across my chest into him. He started to move his hand faster and
faster. I was already excited to say the least, and in what seemed like
seconds I gasped out loud that I was cumming. He told me to fire away, he
wanted to see me shoot a ton, let it all out. Once again I was seeing
stars, and I began to shoot a deep, hard, heavy load all over the place. It
was a different kind of orgasm, it was as if it was coming from deeper
inside me, and I was completely spent when he was done with me. I didn't
realize it, but I passed out, and that's when things got interesting!
I awoke naked on the bed, covered with only a sheet. There was a note of
all things next to the bed. My friend had told me that his time was
limited, and I guess my passing out had run out the clock. The note
confirmed my suspicions, telling me he had an amazing time, yadda,
yadda. He left me a number so that we could meet up again, and maybe make
it a longer session next time. Then came the twist. The ps told me to stay
as long as I liked, to feel free to shower if I wanted and lock up when I
left. He said the host may or may not be in, but not to worry- he was gay
and way cool. He said the guys name was steve, and that he let people hook
up there all the time. I had totally forgotten about the host in all the
excitement, and now that I was more ah with it, I was suddenly nervous. I
decided that I had to get cleaned up- I certainly couldn't go out like
this. Why get dressed just to go into the shower, but I didn't know where
one was. I just went for it, got off the bed, and went to the door totally
nude. I slowly opened it, and stuck my head out. I looked around, finding
the bathroom thankfully across the hall from the room I was in. I didn't
hear a thing, so I went across the hallway and into the bathroom. There on
the toilet seat was a towel with another note. This one was from steve,
telling me to please use the towels and supplies and enjoy a shower. The
note told me he was running some errands, and may or may not be back before
he got back. He also added an interesting ps- he said he thought I was hot,
and he would love to play with me himself, leaving me his number should I
miss him. Maybe I should have been freaked, but I was actually tingly, not
used to being propositioned, and kinda liking it!
I turned on the shower and stepped inside. Nice and hot, I took the time to
scrub off every inch. I tried to get myself as clean as possible, and was
loving the hot water pounding into me. I finished up, climbed out and dried
myself off, wrapping the towel around my waist. As I started to make my way
to the door, I heard noises coming from the other room- oh boy, steve was
back! I was really nervous now, after the note and all, and was questioning
not bringing my clothes with me. I couldn't wait forever in there, so I
worked up the nerve to open the door. I tried to sneak across to the
bedroom, but got caught in the middle of the hallway. He called out to me,
inviting me into the living room where he was seated on an easy chair. I
told him I should dress quickly first, but he insisted there was no need. I
couldn't think of any other option, so I cinched the towel around my waist,
and stepped into the room, leaning forward and shaking his hand. He ushered
me to a seat on the couch, and offered me a drink, not taking no for an
answer. Handing me a tall scotch on the rocks, he told me to relax, make
myself at home. He sat on the couch as well with his drink in hand, but not
too close as to be too obvious. I thanked him for the use of the room, and
he began to chuckle. He told me not to worry, it was a spare room, and he
liked it when people were enjoying themselves. He told me he gets excited
thinking about what is going on in there. 'Sounded like you were having a
good time,' and I blushed. 'seriously, wish I had a camera running for that
one, sounded better than some of the folks I pay to film...' and the secret
was out. He told me he sometimes sets up cameras in the room and makes
amateur movies on the side. He told me he made lots of easy money, and got
to have fun doing it. I was in a bit of shock, and told him I was camera
shy. I politely declined his movie advances, but he was persistent. I
decided to change up the subject a bit. I told him I wouldn't let him film
me, but I was interested in finding some 'other' way to pay him back for
the use of his room. He chuckled again, lit a joint, passed it to me, and
after several good puffs and passes, he suggested that I remove the
towel. I took a huge drag, then stood as I handed it back to him. As he
slowly hit the joint, I slowly loosened the towel, and let it fall to the
floor. As I stepped out of the towel, I moved toward him without realizing
it. As he handed it back to me, he looked into my eyes and reached for me,
rubbing and stroking me until I was soon hard as a rock. I once again
passed it back to him, and as he took it, he released me and asked me to
sit next to him on the couch. As I did, he pulled me into a tight embrace,
and started kissing me. His hands moved all over my body, but I soon felt
them gravitating to my ass. 'Greg said you were an awesome cock-sucker- I'd
like to see for myself....' I leaned forward, and helped him pull down his
pants and underwear. I took him into my mouth and began to suck away. He
wasn't as big as Greg, about 7 inches and not as thick, so it was easier to
get into a motion. Meanwhile, this position also caused my ass to be
exposed up in the air, a fact he quickly exploited. I don't know where the
lube came from, but as I was sucking him deep and hard, first one, then
two, then three fingers started to go deep and hard into my ass. It was
almost more than I could take, but I didn't stop. Suddenly, my face was
shoved down and onto the ground, and I was flipped over. My ass was up on
the couch, my head was on the ground, being shoved into my chest, legs open
and out. He had a condom on, and he shove down and into me from above. He
was pile driving me into the ground, and I was in ecstasy! I soon felt him
quiver and explode deep within me, and he pounded away until he was done. I
don't even remember him pulling me back upright and onto the couch. He
handed me my drink, and fired up the smoke. 'Man you were awesome!' I could
only nod and after a bit I got to thanking him. He just kept on with how
much money I could make, etc. I told him I didn't want any movies, but if
he thought I was good enough, he could be my pimp! I made the remark in
jest, but he jumped in on it. He told me he could easily set stuff up. We
worked out some details, just sitting there naked on his couch, I just
became a filthy whore, and didn't really mind.....

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, yes if the chat mode is working properly.
Hi Dr. Rossi.
I noticed on another site that you read tarot, am I correct?
I mean I was about to be connected to you for that.
Okay so I'd like to get a reading on a situation I have.
I do use the tarot and I-ching to look at what energies are influencing a person's life
I have been seeing a married man for about 4 years. I am very much in love with him. He tells me he loves me.
He has just moved out of his house within the last 3 weeks, and has gotten separated.
The thing is he says he needs for me to give him space so that he can figure out his life.
He's split up w/ his wife? Where is he living now?
I am having a hard time not feeling rejected. he has been not just my lover, but also my best friend, and I miss him very much.
he is living with a friend of his, in a town an hour away from where his house is.
He lives 3 hours away from me
What does he mean by space? No contact for a while, no sexual intimacy, etc?
No contact for a while, I guess.
Like he needs to clear his head.
What about a specific time line? Did he clarify this w/ you?
I last saw him in February. He is a professional baseball scout and travels all the time.
He said he would be in touch once a week for sure to let me know how things are going.
Is he keeping his word?
Other than that, no time line, just that he doesn't know which way is up, and is in a very bad place.
keeping his word to be in touch? Yes. We talked yesterday, he said he loves me and always will, but just needs space.
Do you know if there is contact w/ his wife after they separated?
I do not know.
But he does talk to you at least once a week?
I know he has told her he is not in love with her anymore, and does not want to be in the marriage.
How does he sound to you when the two of you speak?
He is a little depressed...his father cheated on his mother long long ago and then married the "other woman" - I think he thinks he is letting a lot of people down.
Any children?
And also stressed.
No children. I am divorced and have two children.
You wanted to see what energy the Tarot would pick up on to gain clarity into the situation?
I just want a chance to be with him.
All right. Give me a moment to deal and read the spread. I can post to the info under this thread. You can still reply even when I get out of the chat mode. Is the chat screen jumpy on your end?
so you want to close this now? and you will alert me when your thoughts are ready?
Ok. I will get out of the chat and you'd get a notice in the email that said I'm out of it. Once done w/ the reading, I will post it to you. Give me about 10 min.
ok. thank you
This is based on the horse shoe spread and addresses what may be influencing the situation.
At the moment- 9 of Pentacles: this may relate to a concern of his about tangible/financial obligations that he has towards his wife. This card generally would imply that she may be asking him for many things for her own profit/benefit. The card could also relate to his concerns of his own livelihood hence forth.
His fears 10 of Wands: fear of too many responsibilities (feeling as though he's bitting more than he can chew). But, these are temporary.
Outside influences Six of Cups:the past and unresolved issues/memories are influencing his emotional self. Yet, there are also some positive memories that he can learn from and apply in his own life at the moment. This would apply to letting go of fear of what others are thinking. It is his life to live. He would benefit from thinking out of the box and not see things in all black and white.
Near Future Knight of Pentacles: Successful outcome for him of his dealings in regard to finances/property (anything tangible) The need to take a practical approach in managing his resources.
Possible outcome Seven of Swords: In order for him to move forward, he would have to incorporate the energy of both his emotions and his logical mind. By using diplomacy when dealing with others, he can push through. This card also cautions that he would not want to over think things but also listen to the advice of others whom he's close to. Page of wands: He can move on and pursue the relationship with you as the wands suite of the tarot indicates growth and onward movement. The relationship in a sense will provide a new beginning for him (opportunity) to grow as an individual.
Since he had asked you about some time, you'd want him to specify how much time does he need and if he expects you to do something meanwhile i.e. determine for sure that you want to proceed w/ the relationship, any concerns of yours about possible relocation, putting your own social/work affairs in order before the next step, etc. If he says, he only wants you to wait, let him know that you'd like to have a time frame in mind. Besides talking on the phone, see if he'd consider talking on skype via web cam.
Yes, the relationship can solidify after some time (after he takes care of what it is he needs the "space" to do). Perhaps he had asked for this "space" in order not to overwhelm you in some way.
I though that he had asked for space and for you to wait for him meanwhile. The cards indicated that he's preoccupied w/ things at the moment. As he sorts through his affairs, he can become more involved in the relationship that the two of you had started few years back. Now that he's separated from his wife, the need for secrecy won't have to be there anymore.
It shows that he's ready for a new beginning. After he figures these "burdens" of his, he can have a normal communication/relationship.
The cards won't show specifics as to when the two of you will see one another. It showed that the outcome of this can be positive (as soon as he figures his business/financial dealings. From what you're saying, he is working on this now) That was the predominant energy that showed up. The Ten of Wands card indicated that and, if you see the image, it shows someone carrying a large load.
When two individuals love one another, the children should not be a factor that would prevent them from being together and making a life together.
He may have asked for "space" sensing that you too are stressed out at the moment.
The Star for you indicates that you have some creative ideas in place that can help you get out of this financial funk. There may be options that you've not yet considered and these relate to some sort of creative energy that you've used in the past whether it is selling artistic things like jewelry, children's or womens clothes, etc. any kind of venture that you would not need an investment to start like selling on half.com or ebay.
Seven of Pentacles- This situation is less dire than it seems on the surface. Your worries can affect those around you (most likely him as he's in a similar situation) You'd want to be proactive- consider all different options; perhaps write a list today after a brief meditation which, will allow you some clarity over this.
Possible outcome in regard to the relationship - The Magician: positive outcome is possible through mutual effort after he has sorted his issues and you've addressed your own individually. This implies that you would have to remain optimistic and positive because each of you feeds off of the other person's mood/energy. Try not to project your anxiety or fears onto him (sometimes it's done without you being fully aware)
Mistakes do occur in relationships. These issues can be worked through. The tarot shows the present energies and on his part that he's preoccupied w/ his finances and how to structure his life hence forth. There was an indication that things can progress in positive way for both of you.
If he is talking to you and had confirmed his love for you, he's most likely not obsessing about what you've said.
Hi Julie,
You've opened few other threads and this morning I posted back to you on one of them this -
this is what came up in today's spread -
Presently- Moon: a sense of confusion as a result of having to face his past actions and their outcome. Feeling as though he's in a dark place and not knowing how to pull through. Having doubts about his ability to make a firm decision to do what should be done. In order to make progress, it would be essential for him to face his fears and doubts. After he sheds this anxiety, can he make a move forward.
Desires/wishes -Ten of Cups: The desire for genuine happiness, peace and harmony is there. It shows that it is possible to have a positive and fulfilling relationship w/ you.
The Unexpected development- Ace of pentacles: Still a long way to go before finalizing his financial obligations. Concerns about material circumstances are becoming more clear and defined.
Immediate possible development- Two of Swords: His inclination at this time to hide from others (you) and his emotions. He is afraid of change and because of this, he believes that he's stuck. Still feels at a cross road only because of his indecision.
Possible Outcome-Queen of swords: on your part the need to exercise patience and strength at this moment. Meaning- addressing the anxiety level that you're feeling as a result of his distance. It also is a card that suggest that you stay assertive in letting him know what you want.
It is as though he's afraid to allow himself to be happy with you because he feels guilty and concerned about his family- as though he's punishing himself. But life has ups and downs. He had decided to move out and to leave his wife. It is a decision he has to live and also face his obligation to you.
The cards portray the energies that influence the current situation. How each person handles their part in it, is what would lead to the outcome. What keeps coming up is that he must put in order his monetary concerns, deal w. indecisiveness rather than hide from his emotions and from you. There is an indication that the relationship can have a future once he is truthful with himself and you. One other issue may be a pending divorce (he may not have yet pursued this, and is something that would definitely be affecting how he is doing now and his interaction with you) .
If you had not heard from him this week, you may send him a text just to say "hope you're well" or, "hope things are well on your end."

No support was given for my previous question: Form getting stuck on 'Please Wait'Asked by FairbanksArts on October 14, 2016 at 12:30 PM
Hello, I am a paying Jotform customer using the service for my business and I submitted a request for support over a week ago - got a response that 'developers would look into it' and then never heard back... I really need to get this issue resolved. Please see my original post:Wordpress.com oEmbed plugin when used with PayPal returns an error when submitting the form Asked by FairbanksArts on October 07, 2016 at 12:39 PM
A form on my business website is malfunctioning once users press 'submit button' - you are confronted with 'Please Wait' and the form never redirects to Paypal. I have tried taking the form down and re-embedding it a few times with no luck yet. Here is the URL: https://fairbanksarts.org/limited-edition/
please wait stuck and href Form downEdit
The Response - and I have not had any assistance from Jotform since then to resolve the issue. PLEASE ASSIST.JotForm SupportAnswered by david on October 07, 2016 at 03:00 PM
The form itself appears to be working without issue. I believe the submit issue is being caused by the oEmbed plugin embedded form.
I will forward this to our developers to have a look. I would normally recommend replacing your current embed code with your form iFrame code, however, since you are using Wordpress.com, the plugin would me the only method.
We will let you know via this thread as soon as we have any updates.
JotForm Support
I believe I updated your other thread here:
This is still being looked in to and the ticket has been assigned to a developer. We will let you know via that thread as soon as there are any updates. Providing a direct link to the form rather than embedding it in the page will allow for the form to function properly in the mean time.

Enter: Nyko Zoom. Launching on August 23 for $30, Nyko's clip-on lens claims to enable Kinect games within 40% less space, essentially fooling the sensor into thinking you're way over there when you're RIGHT HERE. Joystiq's got quite a few cramped gaming caves between its writers, so we'll be testing the Zoom's big talk as soon as we get our hands on some hardware.
It's weird to think that amongst all the silly Kinect bits and bobs (including those that physically bob), we might finally find some use in the one that turns the camera into Mr. Magoo, cosplaying as Sam Fisher.

- Interceptor Spectrum Blue for Large Dogs (22-45kg)
Pet Store
Product Description
Interceptor Spectrum Blue for Large Dogs (22-45kg) is a monthly heartworm and intestinal wormer for dogs delivered in the form of delicious treat.
Many dogs are difficult to medicate when it comes to parasite control but Interceptor Spectrum is very easy to use and 94% of dogs will take it straight from the hand. The chew actually uses real chicken and really, what dog doesn't like chicken. Unlike the popular top-spot medications Revolution and Advocate, Interceptor Spectrum will also kill tapeworm and can be used in puppies from 2 weeks of age. Interceptor Spectrum is safe to use during breeding and lactation, making it an excellent choice for dogs at any stage. Interceptor Spectrum has been safety tested to 10 x the normal dose, so if you do lose track of when you last gave a tablet, but you sure it has been within the last 6 months, just give the dose when you remember. If your dog has not been receiving heartworm preventatives for more than 6 months, you should get a heartworm test from your Vet before using Interceptor Spectrum, as the die-off of large numbers of microfilariae (the immature heartworms that live in the bloodstream of your dog) can cause a shock-like reaction. If it has been more than 3 months, but less than 6 months since you last gave a heartworm preventative, it is safe to use Interceptor Spectrum, however, you should get a heartworm test anyway as there is a chance your dog has contracted heartworm during that break in treatment. You must also continue using Interceptor Spectrum for it to be effective. Heartworm is a disease that is difficult to treat, but very easy to prevent. The prevalence varies depending on whether there are large numbers of untreated dogs nearby. It is spread by mosquitoes, so even dogs that are predominantly indoors can get heartworm disease. Due to the use of heartworm preventatives this fatal disease is rarely seen nowadays, however due to our warm climate and the prevalence of many different types of biting insects, it would not take much for a heartworm outbreak to occur and spread like wildfire. Intestinal worms are usually transmitted through faeces and dogs usually pick them by walking or sniffing around where other dogs have been. Any dog is at risk of intestinal parasites, even those pampered pooches that rarely set foot on the ground. Interceptor Spectrum is extremely safe (it has been safety tested at 10x the normal dose) and can be used in puppies from 2 weeks of age. Puppies should be wormed every 2 weeks from 2 weeks of age until 12 weeks, then monthly for life.
Why Should I Choose Interceptor Spectrum for Large Dogs?
- Interceptor Spectrum can be used from 2 weeks of age
- Around 94% of dogs will take Interceptor Spectrum like a treat
- Interceptor Spectrum treats all intestinal worms and heartworm if given monthly
- Interceptor Spectrum given monthly and combined with a flea treatment covers all the main parasites you need to worry about for your dog
When Should I Use Something Else?
- Interceptor does not treat fleas or ticks and needs to be combined with another product like Advantix or Frontline Plus to provide complete parasite protection for your pet
- If it has been more than 6 months since you used a heartworm treatment in your dog, you should first visit your Vet for a heartworm test first
What else do I need?
Interceptor Spectrum only treats heartworm and intestinal worms. You will also need a flea treatment such as Frontline, Comfortis or Advantix and if you are in a tick area you should use fortnightly Frontline or Advantix and tick search your dog daily to ensure they remain in tip top shape.

Hi All, These days we're testing the basic HTMLs generated using PlanExporter tool. <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4587>So, I would really happy to attach Graphical Query Plans for JIRA issues which may possibly helpful to understand where's the problem. If you know any issues that generates wrong results please reply to this thread, with the link to the JIRA. It would be nice if you have sql commands to setup the environment needed to that issue. Please note that issues with exceptions/assert failure can't import to a Graphical Query Plan, since as for those queries, there's no statistics captured by Xplain tables.

My name is Anthony Malino, and I have always liked men. I knew from a very early age that I was gay and would live the gay lifestyle. I had no problem with that, though a lot of people did. Still, I lived my life to the fullest and did not plan to do otherwise. I am about 5'5 a little short, but I make up for it in other ways. I have black spiky hair with my short bangs colored very light blonde. I have several piercings; my tongue, eyebrows, my bottom lip pierced in the snake bite fashion, and my ears each have six piercings, including the barbell that extends from top to bottom lobe. I am sure you all are wondering, so I will tell you anyways. My tight fitting pants that seem to be painted on my slender body, hides my cock. A 9.5 incher that is rather thick. Where it hides when I wear skinny jeans, I will never know. Anyways, enough about me. This encounter is based on some true events, when I met my first boyfriend from freshman year of college in Denver, Colorado.
It was the typical wait from DFW airport in Dallas, Texas to Denver International Airport in Denver, Colorado. Meaning there was the typical layover wait, overpriced food and drinks, boring people and nothing to do but work on the book I was writing on my laptop. I was enthralled in the world of Tommy, the Vampire Hunter when I heard someone call out to me.
'Excuse me; do you know if this is the terminal for the flight to Denver?'
As I looked up, I was entranced at once. There stood a modern day Emo Adonis! He was wearing some tight fitting, worn out jeans that hugged his beautiful shaped and slender body. The neon pink shirt he wore was so tight, you could count that he had a six pack. His hair was a dirty blonde and was cut in a punkish style, with bangs that swept his face. He was an Emo's dream come true!
'Uh, ya it is actually,' I replied. 'The plane has been delayed for a while. They are waiting for the replacement pilot to arrive; the first one's son was taken to the hospital for appendicitis.'
'Bad luck on him,' he exclaimed. 'So are you going to Johnson & Wales University too?'
'Why yes I am actually,' I stated. 'I am going to study to receive the Masters in Culinary Arts, and you?'
'The same, my name is Matt by the way.' He extended his hand to shake.
'Mine is Anthony, it's nice to meet you.'
At that time, they called us aboard and we noticed that our seats were right next to each other. Man, I hope I don't pop a boner and freak him out. I want to actually get to know him and maybe find him being with me. We will have to wait and see.
After the flight, we were all given our room assignments, and guess what? None other than Matt and some creepy looking guy ended up being in the three student suite. We each had our own private room, but shared a living area and kitchenette. I was ecstatic! There is clearly some type of attraction between us; could this be my college love?
'Hey Anthony, I was wondering if you wanted to go for a drink?'
'Uh, ya,' I replied. 'That sounds like fun actually.'
'Awesome, I was thinking maybe we can do it in my room? I really think that you are a pretty cool person, and would like to really know you. No is not a suitable answer, just be ready and at my room at seven.'
With that, he walked up to me, and kissed me deeply on my lips. As we parted, he gave me a wink and left. I have no idea what just happened, but damn am I happy. Oh my god, now I have to figure out what I was going to wear. Ugh, I hate these types of decisions!
As seven rolled around, I was ready and went into his room. I decided to wear my favorite outfit that is not only sexy as hell, but the most Emo outfit that I had ion my wardrobe. My pants were black with Hot Pink stitching that seemed painted on. My shirt was a vintage style cover art of a Hawthorne Heights album. I decided to wear my favorite Converse, Hot Pink and black. See a pattern/ my favorite color? My hair was straightened and newly colored; Black, with hot pink, white, and purple highlights. It's amazing what a hair stylist can do in two hours time! As I walked up to his door, I could hear Decembers by Hawthorne Heights! My all time favorite song in the whole world! Gah, I think I am in love already! I knocked on the door and when he answered I tried not to swoon! He was wearing some very tight white Tripp pants, traditional black and whit converse, and a To Write Love On Her Arms Dee-on. His hair had been re-colored, and not just the boring blonde, but black and white striped. I was in love all over again.
'Hey lovey, are you ready to have a drink? You ate I hope?'
'Ya, I ate, thanks for asking; and yes, a drink sounds amazing.'
'Ok, well what is your favorite drink, and I can probably make it for you. I took a bartending course this summer, and remember a lot,' he explained while nervously giggling.
'I would love a Slipper Nipple with extra sugar on the rim, orange garnish not lime,' I replied instantly. I can't believe I said that.
'Wow that is actually how I make mine, too weird! Coming up Mon ami,' he said in a fluent French accent.
'Mon deui, parle-vous francais?' I replied.
'Actually just what I learned from reading The Anita Blake series by...'
'Laurell K. Hamilton,' I interrupted with.
'Yes, how did you know? Are you a fan too?'
I did not wait for another answer; I had to have him now and then. I went up to him, and just ravaged his lovely mouth. We kissed deeply for what seemed forever before we parted and ventured to the bedroom. As we stopped kissing, he pulled me to his bed, and began to nibble on my neck. My neck is my most sensitive area on my body and turns me on so bad. We were getting so damn hot, that the next thing I knew, we were totally naked and making out. I was on top and knew I just had to suck his cock. As I mad my way down on him, I saw that he had a huge cock, about 10 inches and was uncut. Both of which I love the most! I began to swirl my tongue around his head and his foreskin, and he was moaning uncontrollably. He was moaning and moving so much, that I had to pull back or he would choke me. He then pulled me up, and traded positions. As he went to suck my cock, I had a feeling I was going to be in ecstasy. He began to nibble on my head and I started to moan in pleasure. He then started to take me to the hilt, and it was amazing! I knew that I was going to end up cumming, so I had tried to tell him but it was too late.
'Oh my god, that was amazing.' I said.
'I am glad that you liked it, but trust me that there will be a lot more to come.' He replied.
'I was hoping you would say that.' I said.
As we laid and rested, I knew that I had to have his tight nice ass. We started to make out, and I was good and ready to fuck the shit out of his ass. I was about to take his ass, when the door opened. I saw the creepy guy standing there in a black cloak. As I was about to protest, he waved his arm, and we were both immobilized. He just smiled and his words in his British accent chilled my blood.
'Look it here at the lovely two Chavs. I will take much delight in ravishing your bodies. Let's have some fun shall we?'
Well, guys that is part one! Stay tuned for part two to this great story series as well as more! Will Anthony and his new Beau be able to have their relationship, and be happy? Why is the creepy guy a witch, and looking at them like meat? Why am I asking rhetorical questions? Just kidding on the last one! Hope you liked it and will post the second installment as soon as I can finish it out!

- Predicting the elliptic curve congruential generator
- Authors: László Mérai
Pages: 193 - 203
Abstract: Abstract Let p be a prime and let \(\mathbf {E}\) be an elliptic curve defined over the finite field \(\mathbb {F}_p\) of p elements. For a point \(G\in \mathbf {E}(\mathbb {F}_p)\) the elliptic curve congruential generator (with respect to the first coordinate) is a sequence \((x_n)\) defined by the relation \(x_n=x(W_n)=x(W_{n-1}\oplus G)=x(nG\oplus W_0)\) , \(n=1,2,\ldots \) , where \(\oplus \) denotes the group operation in \(\mathbf {E}\) and \(W_0\) is an initial point. In this paper, we show that if some consecutive elements of the sequence \((x_n)\) are given as integers, then one can compute in polynomial time an elliptic curve congruential generator (where the curve possibly defined over the rationals or over a residue ring) such that the generated sequence is identical to \((x_n)\) in the revealed segment. It turns out that in practice, all the secret parameters, and thus the whole sequence \((x_n)\) , can be computed from eight consecutive elements, even if the prime and the elliptic curve are private.

- On the dynamics of endomorphisms of finite groups
- Authors: Alexander Bors
Pages: 205 - 214
Abstract: Abstract Aiming at a better understanding of finite groups as finite dynamical systems, we show that by a version of Fitting's Lemma for groups, each state space of an endomorphism of a finite group is a graph tensor product of a finite directed 1-tree whose cycle is a loop with a disjoint union of cycles, generalizing results of Hernández-Toledo on linear finite dynamical systems, and we fully characterize the possible forms of state spaces of nilpotent endomorphisms via their "ramification behavior". Finally, as an application, we will count the isomorphism types of state spaces of endomorphisms of finite cyclic groups in general, extending results of Hernández-Toledo on primary cyclic groups of odd order.

Abstract: Abstract For a finitely generated automatic semigroup \(S=\langle A\rangle \) we define a semigroup \(L_S\) of languages concerning the automatic structure of S, and study the automaticity of \(L_S\) . Also we investigate the natural question "when S is isomorphic to \(L_S\) ?". Finally, we attempt to verify the equation \(L_S\cup L_T=L_{S\cup T}\) for two non-monoid semigroups \((S, *)\) and (T, o).

- Affine equivalence and non-linearity of permutations over $$\mathbb Z_n$$
Z n
- Authors: Yogesh Kumar; P. R. Mishra; N. Rajesh Pillai; R. K. Sharma
Pages: 257 - 279
Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we explore further the non-linearity and affine equivalence as proposed by Mishra et al. (Non-linearity and affine equivalence of permutations. 2014. http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/974.pdf). We propose an efficient algorithm in order to compute affine equivalent permutation(s) of a given permutation of length n, of complexity \(O(n^4)\) in worst case and \(O(n^2)\) in best case. Also in the affirmative in a special case \(n = p\) , prime, it is of complexity \(O(n^3)\) . We also propose an upper bound of non-linearity of permutation(s) whose length satisfies a special condition. Further, behaviour of non-linearity on direct sum and skew sum of permutation has been analysed. Also the distance of an affine permutation from the other affine permutations has also been studied. The cryptographic implication of this work is on permutation based stream ciphers like RC4 and its variants. In this paper, we have applied this study on RC4 cipher. The analysis shows that increasing the key size for RC4 does not mean that increase in the security or saturation after a limit but security may falls as key size increases.

- Iterated local transitivity model for signed social networks
- Authors: Deepa Sinha; Deepakshi Sharma
Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we generalize the iterated local transitivity (ILT) model for online social networks for signed networks. Signed networks focus on the type of relations (friendship or enmity) between the vertices (members of online social networks). The ILT model for signed networks provide an insight into how networks react to the addition of clone vertex. In this model, at each time step t and for already existing vertex x, a new vertex (clone) \(x'\) is added which joins to x and neighbors of x. The sign of new edge \(yx', \ y \in N[x]\) neighborhood of x is defined by calculating the number of positive and negative neighbors of x. We also discuss properties such as balance and clusterability, sign-compatibility and C-sign-compatibility.

- Choosing and generating parameters for pairing implementation on BN curves
- Authors: Sylvain Duquesne; Nadia El Mrabet; Safia Haloui; Franck Rondepierre
Abstract: Abstract Because pairings have many applications, many hardware and software pairing implementations can be found in the literature. However, the parameters generally used have been invalidated by the recent results on the discrete logarithm problem over pairing friendly elliptic curves (Kim and Barbulescu in CRYPTO 2016, volume 9814 of lecture notes in computer science, Springer, Berlin, pp 543–571, 2016). New parameters must be generated to insure enough security in pairing based protocols. More generally it could be useful to generate nice pairing parameters in many real-world applications (specific security level, resistance to specific attacks on a protocol, database of curves). The main purpose of this paper is to describe explicitly and exhaustively what should be done to generate the best possible parameters and to make the best choices depending on the implementation context (in terms of pairing algorithm, ways to build the tower field, \(\mathbb {F}_{p^{12}}\) arithmetic, groups involved and their generators, system of coordinates). We focus on low level implementations, assuming that \(\mathbb {F}_p\) additions have a significant cost compared to other \(\mathbb {F}_p\) operations. However, our results are still valid if \(\mathbb {F}_p\) additions can be neglected. We also explain why the best choice for the polynomials defining the tower field \(\mathbb {F}_{p^{12}}\) is only dependent on the value of the BN parameter u mod small integers (like 12 for instance) as a nice application of old elementary arithmetic results. This should allow a faster generation of this parameter. Moreover, we use this opportunity to give some new slight improvements on \(\mathbb {F}_{p^{12}}\) arithmetic (in a pairing context).

- Cryptanalysis of a key exchange protocol based on the ring $$E_p^{(m)}$$ E
p ( m )
- Authors: Yang Zhang
Abstract: Abstract An extension of Bergman's ring (Israel J Math 18:257–277, 1974) was introduced by Climent et al. (Appl Algebra Eng Commun Comput 23:347–361, 2014). For this ring called \(E_p^{(m)}\) , they established that only a negligible fraction of elements are invertible, and then proposed a key exchange protocol based on this property. Shortly afterwards, they constructed another key agreement protocol for multicast over this ring (WIT Trans Inf Commun Technol 45:13–24, 2013). In this paper, we introduce a polynomial-time attack to these two protocols without using invertible elements.

- Verifiability-based conversion from CPA to CCA-secure predicate encryption
- Authors: Mridul Nandi; Tapas Pandit
Abstract: Abstract Predicate encryption (PE), a generalization of attribute-based encryption (ABE), is a versatile tool for providing access control over data. The underlying predicate for a PE is parametrized by an index, called system parameter or simply system-index. A system-index, in general, consists of component(s) from \(\mathbb {N}\) . Yamada et al. in PKC 2011 proposed a verifiability-based conversion from CPA to CCA-secure ABE. This conversion was generalized by Yamada et al. in PKC 2012 from ABE to PE. In the later conversion, the authors considered the system-index to be a single component. In practice, there are many schemes, e.g., functional encryption for general relations and hierarchical-inner product (HIP) encryption schemes of Okamoto-Takashima in CRYPTO 2010, CANS 2011 and EUROCRYPT 2012, where system-indices consist of more than a single component. Therefore, for these schemes, the conversion of Yamada et al. (in PKC, 2012) is out of scope. In this paper, we revisit the CPA to CCA conversion for PE and propose a new conversion based on verifiability. The proposed conversion works irrespective of the number of components in the system-indices. It generalizes the existing conversion of Yamada et al. (in PKC, 2011) from ABE to PE. The PE schemes which are realized by the conversion of Yamada et al. (2011) are also realized by our conversion. Therefore, the conversion of ours has more scope than the conversion proposed in 2012. We show that all the aforementioned CPA-secure schemes for general relations and HIP relation are easily converted to the corresponding CCA-secure schemes by our conversion. Further, we show a generic conversion from CPA to CCA-secure functional encryption for regular languages which captures the existing PE schemes for regular languages.

- A pseudorandom number generator based on worst-case lattice problems
- Authors: Pierre-Louis Cayrel; Mohammed Meziani; Ousmane Ndiaye; Richard Lindner; Rosemberg Silva
Abstract: Abstract In this paper we construct a pseudorandom number generator using only worst-case hardness assumptions for standard lattice problems. With a common technique, we can then build a stream cipher by combining the generated pseudorandom sequence with the plaintext. Moreover, as an option to gain efficiency both in terms of speed and memory, we suggest the use of ideal lattices in the construction. Currently, there is no known attack that could exploit this choice. Our implementation for Graphics Processing Units leverages from the parallelism inherent in lattice schemes and reaches performances comparable to the fastest known constructions that enjoy security proofs.

- Weight enumerators of a class of linear codes
- Authors: Jaehyun Ahn; Dongseok Ka
Abstract: Abstract Recently, linear codes constructed from defining sets have been studied widely and they have many applications. For an odd prime p, let \(q=p^{m}\) for a positive integer m and \(\mathrm {Tr}_{m}\) the trace function from \(\mathbb {F}_{q}\) onto \(\mathbb {F}_{p}\) . In this paper, for a positive integer t, let \(D\subset \mathbb {F}^{t}_{q}\) and \(D=\{(x_{1},x_{2}) \in (\mathbb {F}_{q}^{*})^{2} : \mathrm {Tr}_{m}(x_{1}+x_{2})=0\}\) , we define a p-ary linear code \(\mathcal {C}_{D}\) by $$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {C}_{D}=\left\{ \mathbf {c}(a_{1},a_{2}) : (a_{1},a_{2})\in \mathbb {F}^{2}_{q}\right\} , \end{aligned}$$ where $$\begin{aligned} \mathbf {c}(a_{1},a_{2})=\left( \mathrm {Tr}_{m}\left( a_{1}x^{2}_{1}+a_{2}x^{2}_{2}\right) \right) _{(x_{1},x_{2})\in D}. \end{aligned}$$ We compute the weight enumerators of the punctured codes \(\mathcal {C}_{D}\) .

- The l -th power Diffie–Hellman problem and the l -th root
Diffie–Hellman problem
- Authors: Dongyoung Roh; I-Yeol Kim; Sang Geun Hahn
Abstract: Abstract There are many variants of the computational Diffie–Hellman problem that are necessary to provide security of many cryptographic schemes. Two of them are the square Diffie–Hellman problem and the square root Diffie–Hellman problem. Recently, the first and third authors proved that these two problems are polynomial-time equivalent under a certain condition (Roh and Hahn in Des Codes Cryptogr 62(2):179–187, 2011). In this paper, we generalize this result. We introduce the l-th power Diffie–Hellman problem and the l-th root Diffie–Hellman problem and show that these two problems are polynomial-time equivalent for \(l = O (\log p)\) under a condition similar to that of Roh and Hahn (2011), where p is the order of the underlying group.

- Mirror theory and cryptography
- Authors: Jacques Patarin
Abstract: Abstract "Mirror Theory" is the theory that evaluates the number of solutions of affine systems of equalities \(({=})\) and non equalities ( \(\ne \) ) in finite groups. It is deeply related to the security and attacks of many generic cryptographic secret key schemes, for example random Feistel schemes (balanced or unbalanced), Misty schemes, Xor of two pseudo-random bijections to generate a pseudo-random function etc. In this paper we will assume that the groups are abelian. Most of time in cryptography the group is \(((\mathbb {Z}/2\mathbb {Z})^n, \oplus )\) and we will concentrate this paper on these cases. We will present here general definitions, some theorems, and many examples and computer simulations.

- New binary linear codes from quasi-cyclic codes and an augmentation
- Authors: Nuh Aydin; Nicholas Connolly; John Murphree
Abstract: Abstract Explicit construction of linear codes with best possible parameters is one of the major problems in coding theory. Among all alphabets of interest, the binary alphabet is the most important one. In this work we use a comprehensive search strategy to find new binary linear codes in the well-known and intensively studied class of quasi-cyclic (QC) codes. We also introduce a generalization of an augmentation algorithm to obtain further new codes from those QC codes. Also applying the standard methods of obtaining new codes from existing codes, such as puncturing, extending and shortening, we have found a total of 62 new binary linear codes.

- A class of primitive BCH codes and their weight distribution
- Authors: Haode Yan
Abstract: Abstract BCH codes, as a special subclass of cyclic codes, are in most cases among the best cyclic codes. Recently, several classes of BCH codes with length \(n=q^m-1\) and designed distances \(\delta =(q-1)q^{m-1}-1-q^{\lfloor (m-1)/2\rfloor }\) and \(\delta =(q-1)q^{m-1}-1-q^{\lfloor (m+1)/2\rfloor }\) were widely studied, where \(m\ge 4\) is an integer. In this paper, we consider the case \(m=3\) . The weight distribution of a class of primitive BCH codes with designed distance \(q^3-q^2-q-2\) is determined, which solves an open problem put forward in Ding et al. (Finite Fields Appl 45:237–263, 2017).

Cinnamon Chocolate Cake
Recipe by CoffeeB
What makes this recipe different from the normal chocolate cake is the cola added. Do not use diet.
Top Review by HokiesMom
CB - this is a very rich tasting dessert for sure! The cola allows the cake to remain very moist. The only thing that was a bit quirky were the marshmallows - they seemed to remain at the top of the cake and left it almost too moist in that area (maybe it was due to the pan I used?). I did make this in a bundt pan instead of the 9x13 and just sprinkled with powdered sugar as I am trying to save a few calories for the family on desserts. I bet that frosting is divine though! Overall the taste GREAT and nicely chocolatey!! Made for Holiday Tag.
