Meet Tina from Germany
We recently met Tina at the June Study Melbourne meetup to the Melbourne International Jazz Festival. She now shares her experiences of living and studying in Melbourne, Victoria.
"REAL AUSTRALIANS SAY WELCOME" is not just announced by posters all over the city, but it's also exactly what I experienced during my time here in Melbourne. Being an international student in Melbourne for a whole year, I discovered that I enjoyed it most when I was welcomed and considered as a part of their local community.
Organisations like Study Melbourne enable exactly this, they offer events and tours to connect us with locals and other international students and to show and introduce us their beautiful country and their culture.
A few weeks ago they invited us to a concert during the Melbourne International Jazz Festival. I have never been to a Jazz concert and I wouldn't have thought about it if they hadn't organised the event. It was such a different experience to the things I normally do, back in Germany but also here in Melbourne, and I think that especially those extraordinary experiences are the ones that broaden your horizon and make your time abroad so special.
Besides the activities I took part in with Study abroad, I joined university clubs like the surf club and wakeboard club with locals and people from all over the world. I also participated in trips and tours offered by my university and I lived together with amazing Australians. We explored places like Wilsons Promontory, the Great Ocean road and also the countryside of Victoria. Being involved in those activities and groups made it possible for me to discover Melbourne and its surroundings and also adopt an essence of the laid-back lifestyle and Australian culture. I must highlight that it is an understatement if I say I love Australian humour.
Especially with the day of my flight back to Germany getting closer and closer, I am looking back on a year of diverse and wonderful experiences. I have to say that I fell in love with Australia and its people during my travels around the country and my time in Melbourne. What I'm taking home with me is not just heaps of 'bad' puns and Aussie Slang, but more so all the memories of amazing people who made me feel so welcome here and who accompanied me on my adventures Down Under.
Cheers Melbourne and see you again soon!

The minimum amount of money an iPad can cost you is $499. But if you don't bother about the high-end features iPad provides and you just want to browse the net, then forking out $499 is not a good idea. Well, you can get a touch tablet 'PC' for less than $50. India's HRD ministry has unveiled a prototype.
HRD Minister Mr. Kapil Sibal has unveiled a prototype of a touch tablet that costs only $35 and can be used to browse webpages, word processing, and even video conferencing. The technicalities of the device are unknown but it doesn't use hard-disk. Instead it uses memory cards — much like mobile phones. It runs on a battery but it is solar power option too.
The reponse from the private sector has been lukewarm since the profitability of the device is being questioned.

It was another gorgeous Fall day with lots of sunshine. Early in the morning I arrived at the acreage. First things first: letting the cats out. It was still chilly from the night but they didn't mind that. Dizzy ran around, happy and playful. Taz, as usual, took a dive in the sand and rolled and rolled and rolled. After she was done, she did her 'round' and checked out everything in the yard. Of course Scruffy was doing the same, barking loud to let all animals know she was there. The horses were grazing but they kept an eye on the yard.
I cleaned up in the cabin and then I got to work. I cut to size and put up one sheet of osb to the wall and could then finish the floor of the bathroom. Then I measured a couple of wall pieces where the bedroom / bathroom wall would come. Time just flew by and before I knew it was around noon and Paul arrived. H e brought me a cappuccino and potato wedges. Mmmmm! That was a nice surprise!
Together we put up some osb sheets and then we start with the wall that divides bedroom and bathroom. We put a two by four on the floor that goes parallel with the two by four on the ceiling. Then we cut two by sixes that would fit right between those two and while I held the two by sixes straight, Paul screwed them in. We worked hard for a few hours and then called it a day. I was very tired, and my feet hurt from standing all day. But we had so much work done! Wonderful!
Paul went home and I cleaned up the cabin. I'm collecting a lot of sawdust in a bucket, that I can reuse for composting. I fed the cats and then I gave the horses some treats and a handful of minerals. It was a very good day and again a lot accomplished. On my way home I saw a young fox on the road. I slowed down and it stopped to look at the truck. It was scared but also very curious! So it would walk a bit, then stop to look at the truck, then walk again. I could snap a quick picture with my phone so it isn't the best quality. Normally by the time I have my camera, wildlife runs off but the phone was right beside me so I gave it a try. Very slowly I passed and then the fox ran into the woods at the side of the road. Now that was a nice end of the day!

Steelers to Roll with backups Toussaint and Todman
Fitzgerald Toussaint stood at his locker Thursday afternoon, a black hoodie pulled tight over his head. Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin saw the young running back basking in the glow of the TV lights and jokingly wondered aloud why a player who spent most of the year on the practice squad was getting so much attention.
It's one way Tomlin is trying to relieve the pressure on his unlikely starter. Not that Toussaint needs it. The 25-year-old understands he's doesn't have the resume of injured stars Le'Veon Bell or DeAngelo Williams. So what? Toussaint remains confident he'll be effective on Saturday night when the Steelers play Cincinnati in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
"I can be a very electrifying and a very disciplined guy," Toussaint said.
If the Steelers want to extend their season past this weekend, it would help if Toussaint is a little bit of both. With Bell rehabbing a busted right knee and Williams still in a walking boot dealing with a bum right foot, Pittsburgh will turn to Toussaint and journeyman Jordan Todman to carry the bulk of the load against the AFC North champion Bengals.
It's not ideal – Todman and Toussaint combined for 64 yards rushing this season, or 1,399 less than Bell and Williams – but Pittsburgh feels confident enough in the duo that the Steelers declined to sign a warm body off the street as they did a year ago when Bell hyperextended his left knee in the regular season finale. Pittsburgh brought in well-traveled Ben Tate, who ran for 19 yards and fumbled in a loss to Baltimore.
Not this time.
"We had a guy that hadn't been here and didn't understand protection," offensive coordinator Todd Haley said. "It forced us into a little bit of a corner on some of the things we were able to do on game day. I think everybody feels a lot better that way in the sense that we have guys that understand protections, understand the runs (and) understand the language that we're using."
Even if they aren't household names. Pittsburgh signed Todman on Sept. 6 after Todman was one of the final cuts in Carolina and added Toussaint to the practice squad a day later. Neither figured to be part of the Steelers' plans. That changed when Bell's right knee folded awkwardly under him against Cincinnati on Nov. 1 and Williams' right foot got crunched last week in Cleveland.
Enter Toussaint, two years removed from his days as a feature back at Michigan. He finished with 12 carries for a modest 24 yards against the Browns, though he did add a 2-point conversion and proved willing to put his 5-foot-10, 200-pound frame in front of a blitzing linebacker.
Blocking may be Toussaint's most important job as Pittsburgh figures to rely heavily on one of the league's best group of receivers while trying to win its first playoff game in five years. The fact Toussaint and Todman have been around for four months means they haven't had to spend the week cramming. The only thing that's changed for them this week is who they're standing next to in the huddle, trading backup Landry Jones for Ben Roethlisberger.
"We don't have to reinvent anything," Roethlisberger said.
And hope to do it a little better than they did last January against the Ravens, when Pittsburgh's longest run came on a 16-yard "sprint" by Roethlisberger. The inability to do much on the ground or keep Roethlisberger from absorbing five sacks had as much to do with the 30-17 loss as Joe Flacco's two touchdown passes.
Looking back, right tackle Marcus Gilbert allows losing Bell so abruptly – and with little behind him after the team cut LeGarrette Blount – took more of a mental toll than the Steelers initially let on.
"Not having Bell in there kind of hurt the guys and we didn't come as prepared as we should have," Gilbert said.
As a result, Baltimore rolled. Toussaint stood on the Ravens sideline and watched the mild upset unfold as a reserve. He remembers the mentality Baltimore brought to Heinz Field. It's one he feels would serve the Steelers just as well this weekend.
"Just go out there and play hard and play physical and just go hunt," Toussaint said. "That's our motto in here: just go hunt."

UnNews:Editorial: I don't mean to be rude, but please don't do that to my daughter
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
10 March 2013
CLEVELAND, OHIO - Hi, I'm not trying to seem like a prude here, but I would really appreciate if you stopped everything you have been doing with my daughter. Look, I get it. You are a chef at one of these fun, hip Japanese Steakhouses. It is your job to somehow cook a gourmet meal while also being the night's entertainment. You started off so well, but, ah, what can I say? You're starting to make me a little uncomfortable. No offense.
So, look, I've been to one of these places before. I kind of know most of the tricks they teach you in whatever hibachi grill school that you all must have attended at some time. It is my daughter's first time at one of these places, however, and I don't want her to get the wrong idea. When you started out with the giant ball of fire she seemed so surprised and enthralled. When you made the volcano with that onion, it was great. Adding the spices to the top of the fire to make little sparks was also a nice touch. The egg roll was fine, and the way you are able to crack the egg on the edge of your large metal spatula is skillful in a way that I and many others could never hope to achieve. It was following this, however, where I feel that you began to veer off the rails somewhat.
To start, I just want to say that I thought it was as funny as everyone at the table did when you brought out the water squirter that looked like a little boy, and started to squirt everyone with it. Classic Comedy! But, if I can be honest with you for just a moment, I was a little disquieted when you began spraying my daughter in the face with it over and over for about 20 seconds, all the while giggling to yourself and smiling very creepily in her direction. But hey, I'm not one to question the different customs of people from other cultures. I decided I was being a little overprotective of my darling girl, and try to give you the benefit of the doubt. Still, telling her to "Smile at me, God dammit," when you were done made me decide to keep my eye on you. And I don't want you to think this is a race issue or anything like that. Your actions were just giving me cause for concern. So, you could understand my continued wariness when you began flipping shrimp into a few of the customer's mouths, and again singled my daughter out. I don't want to upset you, but the way you continued to flip shrimp, chicken and vegetables into her mouth and at her face, all the while yelling at her to "Open wider," made me question what you were really doing. When you took out your camera-phone while her mouth was as open as it could get and snapped a photo "for later" I thought you might have crossed a line there a little bit.
What really was the straw that broke the camel's back, however, was when you used the baby octopus that another guest had ordered and tried to get my daughter to flick one of its tentacles with her tongue. At this point you had definitely worn out any pretense that you were simply trying to entertain the table. When you kept insisting that she do it, even with my constant protests against it, I noticed the rest of the table had gone from chuckling nervously to outright disgusted looks. I don't really know how to say this, so I'll just put it out there; I'm internet savvy enough to know what a tentacle monster is, and that Japanese hentai seems to be chock full of it. I'm not trying to say that just because you are Japanese, you must be into hentai and tentacle porn, but you have to see that you are inviting the stereotype.
Oh, and sorry for having to lay into you like this. I might be overreacting here and being a bit overprotective of my little girl, but I've tried not to upset you in any way. You're a great chef. My fried rice, filet mignon and grilled shrimp have all been delectable. However, I'm a little worried that people are starting to judge you out there, and that's the last thing I want to see. So, I'm willing to start fresh if you are! I did overhear you suggest a dessert for my daughter try out. If this "bukkake fountain" is anything like a chocolate fountain count us in!

The right to feed off equality
The next issue of the series "Supporting the Struggles for the Right to Food and Nutrition" looks into how the appalling discrimination women face in rural and urban areas is leading them to being amongst the world's hungriest and how it is impacting food systems.
Despite being right-holders of all internationally recognized human rights and producing 50% of world food, women face discrimination in all areas of life and are most affected by hunger and malnutrition. While women find themselves without equal access to education, health, employment and other economic opportunities, as well as to land and natural resources in the rural areas, their right to food and nutrition is far from being fulfilled and their role in food production unacknowledged and underestimated.
Increasing overall dispossession of the world commons has significantly affected women's interaction with the few productive resources upon which they have gained access and control; such as seeds, water and land. In hostile environments, this has been accompanied by sexual attacks and other forms of gender-based violence perpetrated either by public authorities and/or private security officials.
How should States and their laws tackle discrimination of women beyond and walk the walk? Are traditionally-assigned roles to women and men preventing the way to sustainable and gender-transformative food systems?

Douce Quiétude on the heights of Saint Raphaël
The 5-star campsite Douce Quiétude lies ten minutes from the city centre of Saint Raphaël, on the heights of this well-known seaside resort of the Côte d'Azur, on the border of the Var and the Alpes Maritimes. Member of the Les Castels chain, this luxury campsite counts among one of the most beautiful campsites of the French Riviera...
A luxury campsite in the Var
At the foot of the Esterel massif, and less than 10 minutes from the beaches of Agay, in the heart of the Valescure pine forest, the 10.5 acres of this 5-star campsite in the Var welcomes a total of 261 mobile homes, 72 pitches 'Grand Comfort' and 6 pitches 'Premium '.
All pitches have a surface area ranging from 80 to 100 m². Flowered and shaded by tall pines that separate the pitches, they all have an electric supply, a TV outlet, and a water and sewage connection. The six 'Premium' pitches also have a private bathroom, a barbecue, garden furniture, a pergola and a parasol...
As for the many and varied mobile homes, they are extremely suitable for a holiday. The comfort of these rentals is disproportionate to the comfort of the campsite, especially if we talk about the most luxurious ones. The "Riviera Luxe" mobile homes of this establishment feature a surface of 40 m². These accommodations are the most high-end rentals of Douce Quiétude featuring two bedrooms of which one is equipped with a double bed of 160 x 200 cm, a living and a fully equipped kitchenette (including dishwasher), two bathrooms, two toilets, flat screen TV, air conditioning in every room, WiFi connection, a 'Nespresso' coffee machine, stereo and, the summit of luxury, a bubble bath.
At the foot of the Esterel massif
Although it takes 8 minutes to reach the beaches of the Côte d'Azur, Douce Quiétude is an ideal resort for a sunny holiday by the water. Indeed, this five star campsite in Saint Raphaël has a beautiful water park, bordered by a restaurant and the nightclub of the establishment. It features a semi-Olympic pool, a heated swimming pool of 20 metres with a giant water slide of 56 metres as well as a paddling pool and a whirlpool. A heated water complex that can be covered provides an extra asset to the high-end facilities of this campsite. It features a small pool for children, and a fun water playground, also for the toddlers. We note also that there's a shuttle bus running from the campsite to the beach and back, every 40 minutes...
Douce Quiétude also has a wellness centre offering guests a a wide range of massages and facials treatments, as well as a hairdresser's salon. Furthermore, there's a fitness centre available for the campers, where they can practice a lot of physical activities.
Among the other infrastructures and services, there's a library, awakening sessions for the less than four years old, a playground, a kids and teens club, a multi sports ground, archery stands, a mini golf course, a tennis court, a jeu-de-boules court, etc.
Close to the Côte d'Azur
Douce Quiétude, settled on the heights of the beach resort of Saint Raphaël, well known on the Côte d'Azur for its beauty and dynamism, offers its guests the opportunity to discover one of the most beautiful regions of France. The French Riviera and its coastline is certainly the most powerful argument. Fréjus, Sainte Maxime, St. Tropez, Ramatuelle, etc. All these seaside cities and villages participate in the reputation of the French Riviera.
This exceptional campsite, located on the border of the Var and the Alpes Maritimes, and close to Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Antibes and Menton, offers its guests the opportunity to visit these legendary places in the South-East of France. Here, they can shop and stroll along the marinas, where the most beautiful and luxurious yachts of the jet set are present during the summer season.
But the PACA region also hides many other treasures in its hinterland. The Provence is well known for its charming villages, its markets and its beautiful landscapes. The best way to discover this all is to leave the campsite on foot, on a horseback or by mountain bike and to make a trip in the heart of the Esterel massif to observe green nature, listen to the sweet sound of cicadas and breathe the scents of lavender, thyme and rosemary.

Practices use hybrid systems to split income
Distribution plan promotes vitality, growth, unity and specialization
By Sandra Lee Breisch
Its a classic group practice concern: how to divide the income to keep everyone happy and practice profits growing.
Its a complex question made even more so by the growing pressures of managed care, capitation and contracts with utilization-based withholds that require orthopaedic surgeons work smarternot just harder, to get by.
As a result, many practices are moving away from the traditional productivity-based income distribution plans, which "often promote damaging internal competition within the group and may even promote over-utilization toward hybrid arrangements that reward doctors," according to Robert J. Cimasi, president of Health Capital Consultants, St. Louis.
"The movement toward hybrid income distribution systems recognizes the importance of maintaining the vitality, growth and unity of the practice," says Cimasi "These are critical attributes to cultivate if the group is to work together to improve care and control utilization and costs."
Another reason for moving away from the straight productivity distribution model to a hybrid model is "to promote specialization among group members, which can lead to higher efficiency and overall profits for the group," says Bruce A. Johnson, a Denver lawyer and health care consultant, who advises many private and academic orthopaedic practices on compensation matters. "Basically, the goal is what every doctor says about their compensation plan: they want it to be fair, keep the group together by promoting strategic goals and promote productivity," stresses Johnson.
To achieve these goals, Cimasi sees a trend toward incorporating some of the following methodologies in income distribution plans:
Even though a lot of groups try to look at RVUs for income distribution, "cash is king," says Johnson. "Youve got to look at who brings in the money so you measure production and work based upon collections," he says. "The group will typically then assign an overhead factor to those collections or theyll simply divide all the money available after payment of expenses based upon a combination of equal share and production."
Generally, there are three ways to distribute practice income, says James B. Albertson, director of Integration Services, at ProSTAT Resource Group, a health care business consulting company in Panama City, Fla. "One would be splitting income up equally among physicians," he explains. "On the other extreme it would be splitting up profit, based upon production. And the middle of the road is more detailed: take the overhead and distribute some of the overhead to specific doctors before they split up the profit. But in the third scenario, one physician might say, I want an assistant, and another might say, I dont need that assistant, So, the physician who wants the assistant might be charged [that salary] before he or she takes out the profit."
Although there are a lot of ways to compensate, it really boils down to achieving fairness and equity among the partners and keeping peace among the group.
"For instance, there should be recognition for physicians who tend to boost the image of the practicebeing a team doctor, the researcher in the group or the community leaderwhich benefits all the partners, not necessarily the individuals doing the work," says Albertson. "Since were all (continued on p. 14) under managed care, maybe a doctor who spends a lot of time negotiating contracts and working with payers should be compensated beyond their normal compensation models for doing all of these duties."
According to Cimasi, the golden rule is that the income distribution plan and compensation scenario for an orthopaedic practice should strive to do three things:
Further, Cimasi says doctors should invest in marketing and development of product lines and ancillary services. "For instance, if orthopaedists are not specializing in sports medicine or any of the other patient-driven subspecialties, they may be too reliant on insurance-driven services," he says. "Investing in their own surgery center allows the group to achieve ancillary revenues. Further, updating office facilities to become more cost-effective saves overhead. In many ways, orthopaedists invest now or pay forever in terms of inefficient office facilities."
Before determining what income distribution system works well for your group, factor in market conditions, notes Cimasi. "Also, keep in mind that going from one extreme to another may not work," he says. "Each income distribution method has its own downside as well as incentive. A productivity-based system may encourage greater utilization, while capitation requires lower utilization. A hybrid approach allows the group to combine the appropriate incentives to create an income distribution system that is responsive to market conditions, encourages cooperative behavior where it is needed and rewards hard workalways."

Joy as daring rescue saves boys and football coach from Thai cave
The rescue operation ended an 18-day ordeal that claimed the life of an experienced volunteer diver.
A daring rescue mission in the treacherous confines of a flooded cave in Thailand has saved 12 boys and their football coach, who were trapped deep within the labyrinth.
The rescue operation ended an 18-day ordeal that claimed the life of an experienced volunteer diver and riveted people around the world.
Cheers erupted at a local government office where dozens of volunteers and journalists were awaiting news of whether the intricate and high-risk rescue mission had succeeded, as helicopters taking the boys to hospital roared overhead.
People on the street cheered and clapped when ambulances ferrying them on the last leg of their journey from the cave arrived at a hospital in Chiang Rai city.
Amporn Sriwichai, an aunt of the rescued coach, Ekkapol Chantawong, said she was happy and excited.
"If I see him, I just want to hug him and tell him that I missed him very much," she said.
Thailand's navy Seals, who were central to the rescue effort, said on their Facebook page that the remaining four boys and their 25-year-old coach were all brought out safely on Tuesday.
Several hours later, a medic and three Seal divers who had stayed for days with the boys in their tiny refuge in the cave also came out.
Eight of the boys were rescued by a team of 18 Thai and international divers on Sunday and Monday.
The leader of the operation, Chiang Rai acting governor Narongsak Osatanakorn, said: "We did something nobody thought possible."
Seven divers in the rescue team were from the UK, including Rick Stanton and John Volanthen, who were the first to reach the group last week.
"We are not sure if this is a miracle, a science, or what. All the thirteen Wild Boars are now out of the cave," the Seals said, referring to the name of the boys' football team.
"Everyone is safe."
It's really a miracle. It's hope and faith that has brought us this success Payap Maiming, volunteer
Payap Maiming, 40, who helped provide food and necessities to rescue workers and journalists, said a "miracle" had happened.
"I'm happy for Thais all over the country, for the people of Mae Sai, and actually just everyone in the world because every news channel has presented this story and this is what we have been waiting for," she said.
"It's really a miracle. It's hope and faith that has brought us this success."
The plight of the boys and their coach has captivated Thailand and much of the world – from the heartbreaking news that they were missing to the first flickering video of the huddle of anxious yet smiling boys when they were found 10 days later by the British divers.
One of the boys appeared to be wearing a red replica England football shirt.
They were trapped in the Tham Luan Nang Non cave on June 23, when they were exploring it after football practice and it became flooded by monsoon rains.
Each of the boys, aged 11 to 16 and with no diving experience, was guided out by a pair of divers in three days of intricate and high-stakes operations.
The route, in some places just a crawl space, had oxygen canisters positioned at regular intervals to refresh each team's air supply.
Highlighting the dangers, a former Thai navy Seal died on Friday while replenishing the canisters.
Cave diving experts had warned it was potentially too risky to dive the youngsters out.
But Thai officials, acutely aware that the boys could be trapped for months by monsoon rains that would swell waters in the cave system, seized a window of opportunity provided by relatively mild weather.
A massive water pumping effort also made the winding cave more navigable.
The confidence of the diving team, and expertise specific to the cave, grew after its first successful mission.
Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, speaking before the final rescue was completed, said the boys were given an anti-anxiety medication to help with their perilous removal from the cave.
Asked at a press conference if the boys had been sedated, Mr Prayuth said: "Who would chloroform them? If they're chloroformed, how could they come out? It's called anxiolytic, something to make them not excited, not stressed."
Mr Prayuth said the Tham Luan Nang Non cave would be closed for some time to make it safe for visitors.
The eight boys brought out by divers on Sunday and Monday were doing well and were in good spirits, a senior health official said.
They were given a treat on Tuesday: bread with chocolate spread that they had requested.
If this place had a roof, the morale has gone straight through it John Tangkitcharoenthawon, local village chairman
Jedsada Chokdumrongsuk, permanent secretary at the Public Health Ministry, said the first four boys rescued were able to eat normal food, though they could not yet take the spicy dishes favoured by many Thais.
Two of the boys possibly have a lung infection but all eight are generally "healthy and smiling", he said.
"The kids are footballers so they have high immune systems," Mr Jedsada said.
"Everyone is in high spirits and are happy to get out. But we will have a psychiatrist to evaluate them."
It could be at least seven days before they can be released from hospital, Mr Jedsada told a news conference.
Family members have seen at least some of the boys from behind a glass isolation barrier.
On behalf of the United States, congratulations to the Thai Navy SEALs and all on the successful rescue of the 12 boys and their coach from the treacherous cave in Thailand. Such a beautiful moment - all freed, great job!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 10, 2018
Mr Jedsada said they were uncertain what type of infections the boys could face "because we have never experienced this kind of issue from a deep cave".
If medical tests show no dangers, after another two days parents will be able to enter the isolation area dressed in sterilised clothing and staying two metres away from the boys, said Tosthep Bunthong, a public health official.
John Tangkitcharoenthawon, a local village chairman who was working as a volunteer translator for the tourist police, was bursting with happiness at the successful rescue.
"If this place had a roof, the morale has gone straight through it," he said.
US President Donald Trump joined those paying tribute to the rescuers.
"On behalf of the United States, congratulations to the Thai Navy SEALs and all on the successful rescue of the 12 boys and their coach from the treacherous cave in Thailand," he tweeted.
He added: "Such a beautiful moment – all freed, great job!"

The One With The CF Dinner and The Workplace
Greetings to all humans! Yes this site is not dead, it IS still pretty much alive… but just that I've not been doing a very good job in keeping it 'alive'… anyways… some overdue things to be mentioned here.
The uni's CF Reunion Dinner at Bukit Jalil Resort. Was basically a overdressed dinner meeting with friends you couldn't care less to dress up to meet. But it was good nonetheless, some CF old timers was there, and we were entertained with various performances and the not-so-good-not-so-bad food. And of course, I went with her:
The only nice picture of me and her without looking odd. You look great on that night, ya know?
Yeah, so I worked at Nielsen for the whole of November month as a dumb and numb brainless zombie data entry worker… of course, working under my wacky mum and with her as well. Kinda miss the place somehow…
The awesome Chee Cheong Fun I ate almost every morning.
When not working she pouts her lips and does weird poses like this pose.
Wacky wacky mummy. She stole the hairband btw…
Alrighty, that's the lil update for now… and oh yeah, last but not least…:
A MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL! May the year 2009 be a fantabulously rockin' year for you guys!

Your network editor has reposted this from H-Announce. The byline reflects the original authorship.
Latino fatherhood and paternal figures are ever present in literature, film, and television, yet there is a lack of scholarly attention on their representation. Research has largely focused on Latina/Chicana motherhood and maternal figures. The purpose of this edited collection, titled "Latino Fatherhood: Papá in Popular Narrative," is to address this major gap in Latinx cultural studies by investigating how Latino fatherhood is defined, represented, and challenged in literature, film, and television. Proposals dedicated to Latinx cultural productions as well as Hollywood and media treatments of Latino fatherhood are both welcomed. The deadline for proposals is June 1st, 2018, with completed manuscripts due October 1st, 2018. Final revisions will be due January 15th, 2019. The final word count for completed chapters is 5,000-6,000 words. A scholarly press has expressed interest in this project.
Please submit proposals of no more than 300 words to email@example.com. Please include a recent cv with your submission.
If you have questions about the project, contact Monica Montelongo Flores at email@example.com.

Nobody likes the idea of head lice. However felt confident, there are numerous techniques and products designed to handle break outs. Here are a few of the most frequently used and prescribed lice abetment products.
Over-the-Counter (OTC) Head Lice Products
The initial step lots of parents take is to use a shampoo such as Rid or Nix. Both of these consist of chemicals called pyrethrins, which disrupt the lice biochemistry and toxin the lice. Product instructions direct users to apply the Rid shampoo to dry hair and leave on for 10 minutes, while they ought to use Nix to newly shampooed hair. Some products also include gels and cream rinses that help comb the lice from the hair after treatment.
Rid consists of piperonyl butoxide (4%) and pyrethrum extract. Piperonyl butoxide serves as a provider for the pyrethrum extract, which is an insecticide. You need to know that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies piperonyl butoxide as a possible human cancer-causing representative, however pyrethrum seems safe for periodic human use.
Nix includes permethrin, which remains in the same chemical class as pyrethrum extract. The EPA currently does not consider permethrin to be an issue at the levels used in Nix. Nix is suggested by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The active components in Rid and Nix are likewise used in a variety of other head lice treatments under numerous brand names.
A 2014 research study discovered that many head lice in North America have a gene anomaly that renders them resistant to non-prescription medications consisting of pyrethrins. Prescription medications, such as those explained in the following area, may be needed for eliminating head lice.
Prescription Medicines for Head Lice
When other products do not work or when lice infestations come back consistently, you may turn to your doctor for prescription medications that can help. These include:
- Malathion (Ovide): This medicine needs to be used only by individuals over the age of 6. Malathion is flammable, so make sure you do not use a hair clothes dryer or any source of heat while the item is on your hair. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers must NOT use this product unless under treatment.
- Lindane (Kwell) can be prescribed as a cream, cream, or shampoo. People who weigh less than 110 pounds must not use it; neither need to pregnant or breastfeeding mothers or people who are HIV-positive. There are a number of possible side effects including skin rashes and seizures.
- Ulesfia is a brand-new product that has actually just recently begun the marketplace. This prescription product includes benzyl alcohol to eliminate lice. The benzyl alcohol generally suffocates the lice instead of poisoning them. It can be used in children over 6 months of age, however serious side effects, consisting of seizures, coma, and death have taken place in premature and small children.
- Another recently authorized prescription medication is Sklice cream. It consists of ivermectin,1 a substance that eliminates lice and is originated from bacteria. This one-time cream is used to dry hair, left in for 10 minutes, then washed out with water only. It can be used on children 6 months and older however is not advised for pregnant or breastfeeding women other than while under the care of a certified expert. Typical side effects include: eye soreness or discomfort, eye irritation, dandruff, dry skin, burning sensation of the skin.
Besides the fears that a few of these chemicals may cause cancer in people, another worry about both OTC and prescription products is that lice show a growing resistance to the insecticides in these products.Researchers have been studying other natural products as treatments for head lice.
- Hair-Clean-1-2-3 ® includes coconut oil, anise oil, and ylang oil, and has been displayed in one research study to be just as efficient as products like Rid and Nix.
- Products consisting of tea tree oil and lavender oil have been discovered to be just as efficient in eliminating head lice as the pyrethrin-containing products– with no exposure to possibly cancer-causing chemicals.
- Other products with a bit less research backing them include the necessary oils of neem, eucalyptus, cloves, and/or peppermint.Results from research studies up until now appear to indicate that all of these are as efficient as Rid and Nix, with much better safety profiles. In some research studies, the oils were left on over night, while others treated for just 10 to 15 minutes.

As part of our Field Studies requirements, we have to sketch the things we see during our travels and today we had to present our sketches to the class. As we toured Florence, Siena, and Rome, we stopped from time to time throughout each day to sketch the various buildings and works of art we were learning about. Because I had to compile them for class today, I decided to go ahead and put them up on Facebook. Here's the link to the album (which I will update with new sketches throughout the semester): Study Abroad Sketches (Remember, that you don't have to be a member of Facebook to view any of the albums I link to from my blog.)
Once, I get my photos processed and safely backed up on our external drive, I will post about the highs and lows of our trip...until then, enjoy the sketches and keep checking back!

Meet Ziggy.
This is 9 month old Ziggy. Ziggy is a Shih tzu and was born blind. I recently rescued him from the local shelter where I volunteer. I am a canine foster mom. Ziggy was my 28th foster puppy and the first one I ever adopted!
This little guy has a heart of gold and so much love to give. He was surrendered by his owner because they couldn't care for him any longer. For me it was a no brainier (and a Birthday gift) I hit the Internet for information and prepared for life as his seeing eye person.
So, what's his tagline? You decide. Don't just decide – compete! Submit your taglines for Ziggy in the comments below– if your tagline is chosen for Ziggy, you win a Fetching Tag.

Smart equals rich?
Not. This study, yet to be published in full, has made for good idle conversation these past few days. There'd been nothing to make clear who the study subjects were and what measures of "intelligence" were used. K. and I both speculated that military tests were involved. In this, we turn out to be correct. K. thought the tests would be the ones administered before the Viet Nam exemption lottery was introduced, when test results played a role in extending student deferments; I thought it would be the test that is described in this summary. Perhaps, in fact, they are the same test, the AFQT (Armed Forces Qualification Test). The author of this study is with Ohio State, one Jay Zagorsky. Here's another abstract of the method and conclusions. Here's information about free study to prepare for the AFQT. Some sections have been added and some dropped since the days of 'Nam and before. This and the old National Merit Scholarship (before the PSAT came into use for that purpose) do not at all resemble the SAT in any of its versions.

How Do I Invest?
It's simple to invest in BTCjam. Here are a few tips that investors should consider before getting started.
There are many loans available on the platform, with varying credit scores, and varying interest rates. Naturally, the loans with lower credit scores have higher interest rates.
Diversification is the Key
The key to investing on BTCjam is to diversify your portfolio by investing in many loans. Diversifying helps protect your portfolio from individual defaults. Additionally, diversifying across safer investments with lower interest rates, and riskier investments with higher rates can potentially provide a solid rate of return without the pitfalls of putting all your eggs into a single basket.
Opportunity to Communicate
If you are investing in individual loans, it is a good practice to maintain communication with the borrower.
When viewing a loan you don't have to be a silent witness, you can participate and ask your own questions before choosing to invest or even during the repayment period.
What is Net Annualized Return (NAR)?
Net Annualized Return (NAR) is an annualized measure of the rate of return on the principal invested over the life of an investment. It reflects the funds actually received each month.
You are able to see your Net Annualized Return (NAR) on the investments page. BTCjam's NAR rating also separates your investments into categories based upon whether the loans you invested in were Bitcoin loans or Coindesk linked loans. In addition to your NAR, you can track Amounts Received, and Amounts Invested on the Investments tab of the Dashboard.
See the Loan Details of Your Investments
At the bottom of the Investments tab you can see the current status of your loans. Amount Remaining, Loan Status and Initiation Date are all available for you in a simple and easy to use table view. Keep track of all your BTCjam loans with the Investments tab. If a loan is not fully funded or is deleted for any reason the investment amount will be returned to the investor in full.
What are the rates and fees associated with investing on BTCjam?On BTCjam we do not charge any fees for investors.

Book Reviews
I think that this is the first book written in English describing so authentic and precise the destruction of the Jews in the towns of Belorussia. Your mothers heroic struggle for her survival and to rescue you and your brother reveals also the struggle of all the Jews in the forest. You underscore in your book the heroic fight of the Jewish Partisans against Germans and their collaborators, which is very important. This book has to placed .... in all Holocaust museums over the world.
It is very important for now and for the coming generations to know the fate of the Jews in these dark years, WWII and your mother's memoirs will add to that knowledge. Her fight for survival and to rescue you and your brother is a unique saga.
C.W., Kfar Saba, Israel, Founder of the Zhetler Society (Survivors of the Town of Zhetel in Belorussia)
Received and read your book. It is great. Great combination of your mother's memoirs, your memories and (my cousin) Kalman's and Zhetel's partisan activities. It is both very touching and very informative. Once again, it is a wonderful tribute to your mother.
L.A., Kfar Saba, Israel
My husband and I have both read it. It is very affecting; your mother's language compels the reader to feel the cold and hunger, her pain and worry about her children, her sense of being abandoned because of the presence of you children, and the constant uncertainty, not knowing where to go to be safe, or to get some food for survival. It is incredible that you all did survive.
S.D., Palm Desert, CA
Thank you for sharing this important record..... That's why we need people like you to keep the memories alive, and to tell the truth.
B.W., Prescott, AZ
I could not I couldn't put the book down….read it in two sittings.
M.S., Prescott, AZ
George and I both think Harold's book should be a movie. Tell him we are quite taken with his experience.
B.C., Chino Valley, AZ.
Mazel tov to you both, I'm thrilled for you. I enjoyed the book myself and purchased a copy for my friend in L.A.
B.M., Prescott, AZ
I just finished reading My Children, My Heroes: Memoirs of a Holocaust Mother, and I wept throughout the book. What an emotional and heart wrenching story of survival against all odds. I especially cried as I viewed the chronolog of photograhs of you and your family. Hopefully your book will reach many people. Our generation is the last one of witnesses to the inhumanity of that period in history and we can't ever let it be forgotten.
D.C., San Diego, CA
This book is a remarkable journal that brings the reader into Sonia Minuskin's life. We share her day-to-day struggles for survival and all she endured. And then we gasp with wonder at the miracle that the entire family came out of the war alive.
We thank the author for documenting what happens when humanity loses its soul.
L. W., McLean, VA
A non-fiction, first-person narrative of the horrors experienced by Polish Jews during WWII. Through the eyes of a young Jewish mother of two young sons, (Shanke "Sonia" Minuskin and sons Henikel "Harold" and Kalmanke "Carl") whose lives are forever changed after the Nazi occupy their small village of Zhetel, she writes of her tortured experiences in a life-and-death struggle for survival. After what can only be described as a living hell, and realizing the only thing waiting her there was........ death, she takes her sons and seeks refuge in the nearby Belorussian forest. In addition, all non-Jewish Poles are rewarded with 600 [Deutsche] Mark for every Jew they hand over to the Nazi, and many Jews were ........... turned in for the money! Her husband, Shlamke "Sam" Minuskin, has joined a partisan resistance group, so she, for the most part, is alone, though she mingles with one group or another during her ordeal, ......... Odds are against her - especially since she has two small children! She is unwelcome company for most groups hiding in the woods, as there is fear her boys might give them away! One narrow escape after another - with no food, warmth, adequate shelter - through frigid winter months where survival was a miracle! After years in the forest, the author hears rumors about how the war is going and that the Germans are being defeated! A ray of hope finally becomes reality and the fugitives are able to return to their homes. ...... I learned about the book through a recent television interview in Prescott, AZ, where Harold is presently living. In the interview he described the heroic efforts of his mother to keep them alive, while many young children were left to die from starvation, disease and exposure to the cold Russian winters. A quick-read, and a reminder of the unbelievably horrific events that we should never forget!
I highly recommend this powerful story of survival.
Amazon.com customer book review.
This Book was an enlightening perspective into the life of a young woman bravely striving to save herself and her two small children in one of the most horrifying events of our history. I applaud the author, Harold Minuskin, for translating his mothers memoirs so well, keeping the emotions real. Well worth the time!

Saints will be sweating on two fronts as they move more or less to within 80 minutes of their 11th Old Trafford Grand Final.
Prop forward Alex Walmsley - two-try hero and man of the match in last night's 30-4 victory over Salford Red Devils at the AJ Bell Stadium - was placed on report for an alleged illegal tackle and also suffered from concussion.
Now he faces a anxious few days as he awaits the outcome of Tuesday's disciplinary committee hearing and the verdict on his "head test".
But he was still all smiles after Saints had notched their 16th victory - and most important to date - of the 2017 campaign.
Walmsley said: "Everyone was writing us off a few weeks ago but we always believed we could reach the play-offs.
"We are a tightly knit group and will always back ourselves."
Head coach Justin Holbrook added: "I always had belief in my players and now we're there. I'm very proud of the team - they're the ones that have worked really hard.
"It was a tough game, spiteful at times and a bit emotional. It was important we settled down in the second half and we finished it off well so I'm really pleased.
"I'll now watch with interest. Castleford and Leeds have two very different styles and whoever it is they're going to be hard to beat, but I'm confident in my team."
Salford will claim that their hopes of completing a better than expected season on a high were dashed when Ryan Lannon was shown a red card just before the interval for striking Theo Fages.
It helped St Helens, who were leading 12-4 at the time, quell their nerves and while they were far from their best against 12 men in the final 40 minutes, they rarely looked likely to lose the game
Only a victory for last year's champions Wigan Warriors by 90 points or more at Wakefield tomorrow (Saturday), coupled with a Hull win or draw at leaders Castleford tonight (Friday), can deny Holbrook's outfit a semi-finals spot.
If Hull lose at Cas , Saints will travel to Leeds Rhinos in the last four. A Hull win or draw means St Helens visit Cas.

Condensation heat transfer characteristics of AMTEC porous wick condenser
An axisymmetric two-dimensional mathematical model was established and the volume of fluid (VOF) method was adopted to numerically investigate the condensation heat transfer process of alkali metal in AMTEC porous wick condenser. The steady-state physical fields of working medium were obtained and the impacts of some relevant parameters including geometrical and operational parameters on condensation heat transfer characteristics were discussed. The results show that the thickness of the liquid sodium increases along the radial direction. The temperature distribution in liquid phase is approximately linear. The condensation rate at the phase-change interface decreases along the radial direction, and the cold end heat flux q increases initially and then decreases along the radial direction. The porous wick condenser has very limited self-adaptive ability once the mass flow rate Min exceeds some critical value. In addition, there is a corresponding Tw for a certain Min to ensure the stable phase-change interface. The performance of AMTEC can be enhanced by reducing the distance between artery and cell wall.

I am putting snipets from other pages here that i want to say but were not really appropriate in the other catagories.
I like to have a beer or so when, when im working at the puter writting or doing graphics, or working on a web site, or doing my crafts, or out in the garden, or when I come in from work, it soothes the little pains and helps me realx. I am not really sure why most wemon simply cant tolerate that. I have seen situations where a guy gets mean, and I fully understand how he probably should simply not drink around others-especially those who depend on him for stability and love if he happens to be one of those people. I on the other hand am not at all mean when I drink, in fact I become very mellow. It is hard for two people to get along sober sometimes, and if they cant share in all things, I dont see much hope for the relationship in any set of circumstances. So I tend to look for a Lady who can enjoy sipping a beer or a drink as much as I. One does not have to become falling down drunk to be able to enjoy and benifit from the esthetic, and medicianl purposes provided my alcohol in moderation. The x, and a couple of ladies I have been seriously involved with on a long term-live in type thing just couldn't be at peace with my indulgence though. I'd get home, and we'ed talk, if we didnt have plans for the evening I would want to sit and catch up on the news and weather, maybe watch a show...you know just kick back in my little coner of the world and unwind. The x would usually wait till the third or so when i was finally rested and starting to enjoy my life to begin commenting on all my bad points. I enjoy a bottle of Canadian every 6 months or so. Seems lately (the last 7-8 years or so I have to go get a couple of teeth pulled more often than when i was younger and thats usually when I get a bottle. I will tell the dentist I want codine, and they usually give it to me...is that really bad? I mean wanting some pain relief when they rip a couple of teeth out of your head? I really dont see pain as a character building phenomina so I usually have to insist on the codine. Well to make a long story short, as soon as I get home and my gums stop bleeding i will down a pill and pour a drink. I do this till i am quite sure i need to sleep. I sleep like a baby and when I wake up I dont even notice any discomfort from the missing teeth...cept the holes feel funny. I wouldnt suggest this to everyone as I have a pretty strong constitution and have a good sense of when enough is enough. I am sure there is a dentists, or pharmacist, or doctor reading this somewhere who thinks I am crazy, but I try and stay away from those guys anyway.
I love fish, but honestly feel so strange eating it these days (have you seen what they are dumping in the oceans? Im not talking about the American Industries-who have their own drastic measures. I am talking about Nations like Mexico, China, India, etc etc.) Take the earth quake in Turkey. What was it? 25,000 some odd folks perished and the bottom line was the buildings collapsed due to poor construction techniques (well out right fraudulent techniques-too much sand in the mortar, and salty sand to boot). Turkey has very good, well thought out building codes, but as the money began to change hands that wasnt the priority (following the building codes). It seems that was the case when hurricane Andrew hit florida too, but the point is when it comes to enforcing a code, or feeding your kids which will a building inspector choose? Will they consider the long term quality of life, or the short term emergency of life? I think the majority will choose the long term, and still find ways to feed their families, it is those who don't.

Script printed on the PragerU website:
How many times have you heard someone say they want to make a better world? It is a noble sentiment, but very hard to achieve, right? Well, actually, it's quite easy. All we have to do is increase just one human trait.
This trait is so powerful that it alone can make people happier without working on their happiness, and make them better – and by "better," I mean more generous, more honest, more kind, more everything good – without a single lesson in morality. Continue reading

Having a payroll department for your small business is very expensive. Depending upon the size of your business, you may be required to have one or two full-time people who are responsible for administering your payroll. This can be expensive because you have to pay them a salary and benefits. Often, there are different payroll companies out there that can help your business cut its payroll costs in half.
They say that your business should focus all of its resources on what it specializes in. This is very good advice when it comes to any type of infrastructure service for your business. Your payroll, if you have a diverse workforce, can be very time consuming. It can take a full workweek to process parts of your payroll. If you do not want to pay a person's salary or have a division within your company that processes the payroll, you can outsource it to a third party company. One of the many neat things about having a company do this service is that you simply submit a payroll report for a pay period. The payroll company will withhold the appropriate amount of taxes for each employee so that your business does not have to spend time making these calculations.
Another thing that outsourcing payroll does for your company is limit your liability. Often, a business forgets to remove an employee from a payroll. This can result in the company losing money through inappropriate dispersal of payments to an employee that no longer is working for the company. Another thing that the payroll service company can do is making sure that the company is adequately compensating each employee. Sometimes, mistakes can result if too many hands are involved in the payroll pot. At a payroll company, one person will often supervise a company's payroll and disbursements.
One of the most important things that an external payroll service can do for your company is to make it so that your company does not need to invest in payroll infrastructure. Often, the payroll company that you hire will have software that allows you to submit your payroll reports online. You merely input each employee's timesheets into the online form and the service will take stock of each employee's payment in your company Payroll software is very expensive and needs to be upgraded on an annual basis. Your payroll company will have its own software, thus eliminating the need for your company to pay for its own infrastructure. Also, a payroll outsourcing company can help your business with its benefits.
If your company has a benefits package for each employee, the payroll company can withhold this money from your employee's paychecks. It can then arrange for this money to be sent to a benefits provider. Your company will benefit from these many different features of a payroll outsourcing service. A payroll service can help you ascertain what types of options are a good match and fit for your business. If your business can benefit from a payroll outsourcing company, they will happily enroll you and begin processing your payments to employees in the next period.
When processing your payroll, a payment outsourcing service can be a great benefit to your business. If you are looking to outsource your overhead, this is a good way to save money for your business. Furthermore, a payroll-outsourcing firm will help you with the liability associated with processing your payroll. If something looks suspicious on a payroll report, your payroll outsourcing service will help you find the underlying cause. They can also safeguard against fraudulent activity committed against your employees. Having a good payroll-outsourcing firm will help your company save time and money.
