Student to write an insider's view on teenagers' issues
Raquel Barolli, 17, is one of five guest reporters in the community project You Write The News.FIONA BROOM December 3, 2012 5:36pm
Raquel Barolli has all the personality traits needed to pursue a career in journalism.
''I really like English and I always love talking,'' the 17-year-old said.
Raquel has always been interested in the news.
She's also passionate about teen issues.
So the Shepparton High School student jumped at the chance to be a journalist for a day in The News' You Write The News competition.
''It's just something I love, I've always been interested in it,'' she said.
She saw it as an opportunity to highlight issues important to her and her friends and put forward the perspective of the town's youth.
''Teenage youth is not catered for, like, there's not enough transport,'' Raquel said.
''Yesterday I spent $25 on a taxi because I was going to see a friend.''
Raquel said there also needed to be more youth music events that catered to all tastes in tunes.
She said about three quarters of her year level went to a recent music festival in Melbourne because it catered for a wide music audience.
The avid Backstreet Boys fan said more events would also give teens something to do during their holidays, aside from summer homework in preparation for Year 12.
She said recent attention on teen parties in the region scared others off holding them.
''People feel they can't have parties. People don't know what to do,'' she said.
''I want to be a journalist for a day to gain experience for a career in journalism/TV presenting, but also get a view across about youths that doesn't involve attention seeking and drama, but is genuine.''

CORRECTED-UPDATE 1-Hyundai Motor and union reach tentative wage deal
(In fourth paragraph corrects to add reference to one-off payments and make clear these are equivalent to five times basic wages)
* Agrees on bonus and other payments of $7,800
* Stoppages led to production losses of over 50,000 vehicles
* Workers to vote on agreement on Monday
SEOUL, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor Co has reached a tentative wage deal with its South Korean labour union, a union spokesman said on Thursday.
Should the union's members approve the deal in a vote on Monday, Hyundai, which along with affiliate Kia Motors ranks as the world's fifth-biggest carmaker, should avoid further production losses.
Hyundai had suffered a series of stoppages since Aug. 20 that prevented it making 50,191 vehicles worth 1.02 trillion Korean won, though it has usually recouped lost production with overtime and weekend work.
The latest deal included bonuses and various incentives totalling 8.5 million Korean won ($7,800), plus one-off payments equivalent to five times the monthly base wage and a 5.14 percent rise in basic salaries, a union spokesman said.
The company rejected the union's demand for a 56.25 gram gold medal - worth about $2,400 at today's prices - and a bonus of two months' salary for those with at least 40 years of continuous service, as well as 10 million won for each worker whose children opt not to attend college, the spokesman said.
Instead, those who retire after more than 40 years of service will receive 6 million won, he said.
"Hyundai's labour union showed a mature attitude during talks, retracting unreasonable demands given public criticism and concerns," the company said in a statement.
Hyundai's domestic sales slumped 20 percent in August from the previous month and its exports slipped 9 percent, although year-on-year sales went up because of longer walkouts a year earlier.
The union representing Hyundai's South Korean workers has staged strikes almost every year in its 26-year history, except for a three-year hiatus from 2009 to 2011.
Moon Yong-moon, the hardline union chief who last year led the strike at Hyundai for the first time in four years, will see his term expire this month. He said in a statement last week he would not run for reelection. ($1 = 1094.5500 Korean won) (Reporting by Hyunjoo Jin; Editing by David Holmes)

Read: 5 types of kidney stonesOne in seven of the patients experienced complications that required hospitalization or emergency care within 30 days of treatment the study found. The average cost of treating complications was $30 000 per patient.Methods of treatmentThe study looked at three methods of treatment, including shock-wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy.In shock-wave lithotripsy, a machine known as a lithotripter is used to crush the kidney stone, according to the US National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Ureteroscopy involves using a long, tube-like instrument to find or break up the stone. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy uses a wire-thin viewing instrument to locate and remove the stone. All three procedures require anaesthesia, according to the NIDDK. In the new study, rates of complications were 12% for patients who had shock-wave lithotripsy and 15% for those who underwent ureteroscopy. The average cost of treating complications after nephrolithotomy was $47 000, compared with $32 000 for complications after shock-wave lithotripsy.Substantial costsPatients treated at hospitals that performed large numbers of kidney stone procedures were much less likely to have complications, according to the study published in the journal Surgery."Our findings provide a good starting point to understand why these complications are happening and how they can be prevented, because the costs to patients who suffer complications and to the health care system are substantial," lead author Dr Charles Scales Jr, an assistant professor of surgery at Duke University, said in a university news release.Further research is needed to learn why the three kidney stone treatments had different complication rates and costs, the study authors noted."From the patient perspective, an unplanned emergency department visit or hospital admission after a low-risk ambulatory procedure is a significant event," Scales said. "Kidney stones are excruciatingly painful and primarily affect people who are of working age. These patients face not only the cost of treatment, but also the financial difficulties from time off work due to pain and treatment."Read more:Kidney stones increasing in women14 FAQ on diet and kidney stonesMore kids getting kidney stones Copyright © 2014 HealthDay.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.Reporters Without Borders calls on the authorities to render justice in the murder of Erick MartÃnez Ã&${esc.hash}129;vila, a 32-year-old opposition journalist and gay rights activist whose body was found at the side of the road between Tegucigalpa and Olancho on 7 May, two days after his family reported him missing. Local officials said he appeared to have been strangled. A spokesman for Kukulcán, an organization that defends lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights, MartÃnez had recently registered as a would-be candidate to be a parliamentary representative of the opposition party, Libre, which is to hold primaries in November. Libre is the political wing of the National People's Resistance Front, which former President Manuel Zelaya created after he was ousted in a June 2009 coup. "Because of his activities and his commitment, MartÃnez was a marked man for the enemies of human rights and pluralism in Honduras, where 27 journalists have been killed in the past decade, 20 of them since the coup," Reporters Without Borders said. "His case recalls the December 2009 murder of fellow journalist and gay rights activist Walter Tróchez, which is still unpunished. "Who will conduct the investigation into MartÃnez's murder? When will it start? Will Honduran society carry out a much-needed debate about the causes he defended? His murder constitutes an attack not only on journalism but on all those who are involved in defending fundamental freedoms in Honduras. "Recalling the requests we made when the Organization of American States readmitted Honduras in June 2011, we continue to support the principle of an international commission of enquiry to shed light on the most serious human rights violations that have taken place in recent years, including this one." Reporters Without Borders has just learned that HRN radio journalist and coordinator Alfredo Villatoro was kidnapped by gunmen while on his way to work this morning in Tegucigalpa. A search has been launched and we hope that he is found safe and sound quickly.

α,ω-Aliphatic Diamines as Molecular Linkers for Engineering Ag Nanoparticle Clusters: Tuning of the Interparticle Distance and Sensing Application

The controlled tuning of interparticle distance at the nanoscale level is a major challenge for nanofabrication of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active clusters and their application to molecular sensing. In fact, the geometrical properties of the narrow gaps between nanoparticles play a key role in determining the local field enhancement (and therefore, the SERS enhancement factor) and the spatial enhancement distribution in the gap region. Besides, very short interparticle distances may block the access of the analyte to the hot zone. In this paper, we report the synthesis of silver colloid NP clusters with interparticle distances fine tuned in the ≤2 nm range, by exploiting the chemical properties of linear α,ω-aliphatic diamines as molecular linkers with varying chain length. The bifunctional diamines also form intermolecular cavities within their self-assembled monolayers, suitable to host molecular analytes for nanosensing applications, as evidenced by SERS detection of organochlorine insecticides at the trace level. In this regard, the extension of the aliphatic chain played a crucial role in determining the SAM conformation and thus the final sensitivity of the functionalized SERS substrate.

A study of Aboriginal children who are able to count without
using words has sparked a new theory about humans having a natural
ability when it comes to numbers.
A study of 45 indigenous children from two Aboriginal communities lacking in words and gestures for numbers found the youngsters could count just as well as their English-speaking peers.
Academics from the University College London (UCL) and University of Melbourne believe their findings demonstrate that humans have an "innate mechanism" for counting.
Study author Professor Brian Butterworth, of UCL's Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, said the findings contrasted with theories suggesting children needed to know counting words to develop concepts of numbers.
"Evidence from children in numerate societies, but also from Amazonian adults whose language does not contain counting words, has been used to support this claim," he said.
"However, our study of Aboriginal children suggests that we have an innate system for recognising and representing numerosities, the number of objects in a set, and that the lack of a number vocabulary should not prevent us from doing numerical tasks that do not require number words."
The children aged four to seven, who took part in the study were from one community on the edge of the Tanami Desert, about 400km north-west of Alice Springs, and another on Groote Eylandt in the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Their results were compared with a group of English-speaking indigenous children in Melbourne.
While both Aboriginal communities had words for one, two, few and many, the researchers were unable to ask questions asking them to identify how many objects they were presented with.
Instead, the indigenous children were asked to put out counters matching the number of sounds made by banging two sticks together.
Professor Butterworth said the Aboriginal children from the two remote communities performed "as well or better" than the English-speaking children in a range of tasks.
"Thus, basic numerical concepts do indeed appear to depend on an innate mechanism," he said.
"This may help explain why children in numerate cultures with developmental dyscalculia find it so difficult to learn arithmetic.
"Although they have plenty of formal and informal opportunities to learn to count with words and do arithmetic, the innate mechanism on which skilled arithmetic is based may have developed atypically."
The findings have been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Lacrosse Tournament Draws Thousands To Bucks County This Weekend
Get Breaking News First
Sports Fan Insider
By Brad Segall
NORRISTOWN, Pa. (CBS) – A hotel room in Bucks County may be tough to come by this weekend. A youth lacrosse tournament will bring nearly 8,000 people into the region providing a significant economic shot in the arm.
Now in its seventh year, the Patriot Games will feature more than three thousand athletes between ages 8-18 from 11 states across the country. They'll travel here with their families and friends with nearly two dozen hotels from Bensalem to Quakertown providing lodging.
Visit Bucks County executive director Jerry Lepping says they'll pump hundreds of thousands of dollars into the local economy and there's a residual effect.
"What we see is a lot of these people are coming here for the first time and just the exposure you just can't put a price on that because they come here and they say oh I wish we had more time."
They find that people will come back later in the year to spend a long weekend and do some sightseeing. Tournament organizers say they like coming back to Bucks County because of its amenities and proximity to major highways. The tournament is free and open to the public.
