1 9 July 2015 Disability Employment Taskforce PO Box 7576 Canberra Business Centre ACT 2610 Submitted online via DSS Engage National Disability Employment Framework Introduction The Federation of Ethnic Communities Councils of Australia (FECCA) is the peak, national body representing Australians from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. We work to promote fairness and responsiveness to our constituency in the delivery and design of government policies and programs. At the heart of FECCA s work is promoting multiculturalism, embodied in equitable policies and non-discriminatory practices for all Australians, regardless of their cultural, linguistic, ethnic, racial or religious backgrounds. Towards this end, FECCA strives to ensure that the needs and aspirations of various cohorts of Australia s culturally and linguistically diverse population are heard by policy and decisions makers, as well as the broader public. FECCA continues to work with organisations that advocate for people with disabilities from CALD backgrounds, including the National Ethnic Disability Alliance (NEDA). According to the Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers, 4.2 million or 18.5% of Australians live with disability. 1 Australians with disabilities earn significantly less than the average wage and are under-represented in the workforce. The average weekly income for a working age person with a disability is $344, which is nearly half that of a person without a disability. 2 1 Australian Bureau of Statistics, Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers (2012). 2 Senate Community Affairs References Committee, Bridging our growing divide: Inequality in Australia (December 2014), 117.
2 More than 1 million people with disabilities are from CALD backgrounds. 3 In other words, CALD people constitute close to one fourth of the total number of people with disabilities living in Australia. These individuals are often subjected to two fold discrimination based on their disability as well as their CALD background. These intersecting disadvantages inhibit them from effectively and productively engaging in the Australian workforce. Considering these factors, FECCA appreciates the Australian Government s initiative to implement the National Disability Employment Framework focusing on improving employment outcomes for people with disability. Workforce participation of people with disability Lack of specific data on workforce participation of people with disability from CALD backgrounds renders the understanding of the issues faced by this cohort more difficult. Given the substantial number of people from CALD backgrounds with disability in Australia, it is imperative that government employment strategies implement systemic data collection methods which capture the participation of CALD people with disability in current recruitment processes and contributions made to the Australian economy. Such data would be an invaluable resource to encourage employers to recruit more people with disability from CALD backgrounds. A lack of available employment opportunities for CALD people with disability who have tertiary qualifications is a key barrier to entering the workforce. FECCA s community consultations have revealed that employers are hesitant to employ CALD people with disability due to lack of understanding of their capabilities and needs in the workplace. In certain instances, these issues are aggravated by difficulties in getting overseas qualifications recognised in Australia. FECCA received feedback from community consultations that the Employment Services Assessment (ESAt)/ Job Capacity Assessment (JCA) (utilised by Government employment services to determine the capacity of a person with a disability to work), in certain instances, is restrictive or not reflective of the actual working capacity of a person with a disability. 4 The number of hours a person can work in a week may increase as that person learns and becomes familiar with their job role. Thus, reviewing these assessments more frequently to assess the capacity to work would benefit the person with a disability as well as the employer/employment service provider in the long run. 3 National Ethnic Disability Alliance, Disability Employment Services (DES) Consumer Engagement Project (June 2014), 4, accessed at: 4 See further about the assessments at: Conducting an Employment Services Assessment (ESAt)/Job Capacity Assessment (JCA), 2
3 Employment Services Another key barrier is reluctance on the part of mainstream employment service providers to find middle management or management level job placements for people with disability. Through community consultations, FECCA has found that mainstream employment service providers tend to direct people with disability to disability specific employment providers, who often place people with disability in low skill and low paid jobs that do not reflect their level of education or skills. Disability Employment Services (DES) CALD people with disability face additional barriers in obtaining sustainable and meaningful employment. The feedback received by NEDA from service providers revealed that barriers for CALD people in accessing DES employment services included inadequate information on services provided by DES for CALD people and difficulties in reaching out to people with disabilities from CALD backgrounds who do not access or are not aware of DES programs and services. Despite these barriers, NEDA highlighted that CALD people with disabilities who participated in DES services had better outcomes and reached their milestones at a greater rate than that of Anglo Participants. 5 FECCA recommends that the new employment framework pay special attention to increase engagement of people from this particular cohort. JobAccess JobAccess is an initiative of the Australian Government to support the employment of people with disability. It provides vital services such as information and assistance with regard to workplace modifications or adjustments and ongoing support to find and retain jobs. However, the information about this service is limited to English and there are no translated materials available on the website. The JobAccess website does not provide clear indications as to how translation or interpretation services can be accessed. It is encouraging to see the website provide ample information for both people with disabilities and employers including information on working with people with disabilities, National Disability Recruitment Coordinator (NDRC), making complaints about disability employment services, and other issues. There is also information about using simple English and interpreter services when working with individuals who use English as a second language, which is commendable. However, apart from a number of ad hoc references to the importance of using simple English and interpreters, the website does not provide sufficient information about CALD specific services. Online service and information provision is limited to those who have access to and are literate in using computers and the internet to find such information. This would preclude a number of individuals from accessing and obtaining these services, which would result in narrowing the paths to employment. FECCA highlights the importance of utilising other forms of communication, including ethnic media and direct engagement with ethnic communities. 5 Ibid p5. 3
4 Job Services Australia (JSA) and JobActive The uncertainty around JobActive model and the transition from JSA to JobActive is another deterrent for those who seek employment. Under the JSA model, there were CALD-specific disability employment providers such as Access Community Services Limited, in Queensland. There is little clarity among CALD community members about this transition process and the new JobActive service providers. The new JobActive website provides information with regard to JobAccess, DES and Disability Employment Fund. However, there is no clear reference to CALD-specific disability employment service providers. Similar to other websites such as JobAccess, there is no clear reference on accessing interpretation or translation services. CALD-specific service providers can have a better understanding of the specific barriers that individuals from a CALD background face and be more responsive to the needs of those clients, and as a result will be more successful in finding appropriate opportunities. Funding CALD-specific employment services and providing information about these services would be a positive step to enhancing the employment outcomes for people with disability from CALD backgrounds. Support for employers There are numerous misconceptions about the cost implications and efficiency of employees with a disability which may discourage employers from recruiting people with disability. Workplace diversity can be used to understand and connect with ethnic-specific market segments or expand the business beyond the traditional markets and customers. Employers and organisations will further benefit from developing and maintaining a positive public image through offering services to CALD people disabilities. There are numerous financial incentives to recruit people with disability offered by the government, namely, the Wage Subsidy Scheme, Disabled Australian Apprenticeship Wage Support and Supported Wage System. However, research reveals that financial subsidies have little impact on an employer s decision to employ a person with a disability. Factors such as ability to perform the assigned tasks and low risk of absenteeism are more important determinants for employers rather than financial incentives. 6 Therefore, FECCA believes that it is important to educate employers about the benefits of recruiting people with disabilities as the best path to increase labour force participation. It is also important to promote the benefits of cultural diversity in the workplace. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) NDIS participant plans are tailor-made to suit the requirements of each individual. NDIS participants have the flexibility to study towards obtaining qualifications in the fields of 6 J Graffam, K Smith, A Shinkfield, U Polzin, 'Employer benefits and costs of employing a person with a disability', (2002) 17 Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation 251, p257. 4
5 interest at their own pace and lead more independent lives. CALD people with disability who are eligible participants of NDIS can focus on improving language and communications skills, and also learn and engage in cultural activities which are important aspects of a cohesive society. The NDIS, still in the trial stage, has already changed many lives in terms of providing individuals with opportunities to pursue careers of their choice. For example, Briahna Grant-Griffin has a successful rag doll business in Canberra. As part of her NDIS package, Briahna was able to purchase a push-button sawing machine. The business makes her an active member in the community and is assisting her to become more independent. 7 Eligibility for the NDIS is limited to those who hold Australian citizenship, permanent residency or hold a protected special category visa, excluding CALD people with disabilities who have a different visa status. In addition to this limitation, the NDIS will support 460,000 individuals, approximately 11% of the 4.2 million people with disability in Australia. Thus, it is vital for government agencies to identify and promote programs to assist people with disability who are not eligible to participate in the NDIS. Improving employment outcomes for people with disability Increasing employment options for people with disability is an avenue that can enhance workforce participation. Given the significant developments in information technology, working from home is an option that is cost effective and convenient for employers as well as employees. People with disabilities, especially those with mobility issues, can greatly benefit from being provided with the opportunity to work from home. This in turn will be beneficial for the employer with regard to the optimum utilisation of company resources. Job sharing amongst people with disabilities is another practical solution. Employers recruiting several individuals to carry out the work of one full-time employee during specified days or times of the week will provide more job opportunities for people with disability who are capable of working a limited number of hours a week. Special considerations in relation to CALD people The policy behind the recent developments with regard to disability employment is to encourage people with disability to move from the Disability Support Pension (DSP) to employment. 8 Given this policy, there may be an emphasis for employment service providers on finding job placements for people already receiving DSP. There is a 10 year qualifying 7 See further: NDIS helps Briahna Grant-Griffin set up rag doll business with push-button sewing machine 8 See further https://www.dss.gov.au/about-the-department/publications-articles/corporatepublications/budget-and-additional-estimates-statements/ budget/budget-fact-sheet-workingage-payments 5
6 period for permanent residents to be eligible for the DSP, which means a considerable proportion of permanent residents as well as temporary residents do not receive this payment. The emphasis on shifting those receiving DSP to employment may adversely affect CALD people with disability who are not eligible to receive DSP. Employment services should consider contextual factors such as the cultural, language and religious backgrounds of jobseekers. Coming to contact with certain products, including animal products, working around alcohol or having to wear a uniform that cannot be altered to satisfy certain religious practices such as covering the head may go against certain religions or religious practices. The employment service providers should pay attention to these factors when placing people with disabilities from CALD backgrounds in employment. It is imperative that education programs about employment of people with disability target family members and carers of people with disability. Family members, often parents, assume the role of caring for CALD people with disabilities. These carers may have misconceptions about employment of people with disability and allowing those individuals to be more independent as they believe that it is their responsibility to protect and provide for the children with disabilities. The inability to obtain employment due to language barriers is another hindrance that people with disability from CALD backgrounds face. Thus, job placements with ongoing training and language assistance could assist to increase workforce participation of CALD people with disabilities. On-the-job training will not only enhance productivity but also result in capacity building of a person with disability. It is also important for the employment framework to focus on and increase the number of CALD specific mentors and role models to encourage people from CALD backgrounds to be employed. Witnessing people from similar backgrounds excel in employment or receiving moral support from individuals they can relate to will be effective mediums of improving employment outcomes for people with disability from CALD backgrounds. Recommendations Promote employment options such as working from home and job sharing to employers to increase the participation of people with disabilities in the workforce and to create more opportunities for these jobseekers. Ensure that people with disability are provided with employment opportunities in management and middle management level jobs without restricting them to low-paid and low-skilled jobs. This can be achieved by educating employers about the benefits of having a diverse workplace, and educating employment service providers about the varied capabilities of people with disabilities. Adopt measures to gather specific and accurate data as to the number of people with disability from CALD backgrounds, workforce participation and economic contribution. 6
7 Implement targeted communication strategies for JobAccess and DES to reach ethnic communities, including utilising ethnic media and meeting directly with community members to discuss the services. Promote cultural competency for employment service providers, including a requirement to consider a client s cultural and religious background when finding employment opportunities. Implement programs for people with disability, their family members and carers to educate them about their rights in the workplace, complaints mechanisms, new developments in the employment sector including recruiting practices and employment flexibility. Encourage employers to provide more on-the-job learning opportunities where people with disability from CALD backgrounds can learn about working environments, confidently interact with others and enhance capacity building. Facilitate mentoring programs and provide one-on-one training or interaction with role models from similar backgrounds to encourage more people from CALD backgrounds to engage in the workforce. 7

Forget the doom and gloom of yesterday's Comprehensive Spending Review. How about a bit of good news? This is Get Online Week – a week aimed at encouraging individuals and businesses to get started on the internet.
There are potentially enormous benefits to be derived from getting your business online. Consumers are spending an increasing amount of time and money on the internet, and you may be missing out on a significant revenue stream if you are not visible on the web.
So how can you get started with your first business website?
1. Choose a great domain name
Your domain name is one of the most important aspects of your web presence. Ideally, your domain should reflect your brand or the nature of your company. If you already have a strong brand, you should try to make sure that this is included in your domain name. Similarly, remember that your domain name is one of the key factors used by search engines to determine whether or not your site is relevant to a search query. So, if you are a plumber operating in the Bradford area, you should consider getting this information into the address.
2. Get the right hosting
In order to get your website online you will need to buy a hosting package. There are thousands of hosting businesses all offering deals. Seemingly minor differences between packages can have a significant impact on your website's performance. So, as well as looking at the amount of storage space and bandwidth on offer, consider factors like where the servers are based. If the majority of your clients and customers are based in the UK, consider spending a bit more to have servers located in the UK as well; this will generally yield faster loading times.
3. Show what you sell…
Make clear to first time viewers exactly what it is that you do and what you are offering. Most visitors will have neither the time nor the inclination to go trawling through your website to work out whether or not you can help them. They want the relevant information quickly – so make sure it is clearly visible on the initial few pages that a visitor will come across.
4. …but remember it's not all about transactions
That said, it is worth remembering that not all websites are transactional – and even those that are will not necessarily immediately yield sales. For example, if you are selling high-ticket items relatively few customers will make impulse purchases. Instead, they might well go away, visit a few other sites, then return if they want to buy.
5. Give your customer options
Consumers appreciate options; they do not want to be dictated to. This should be reflected in your website. To begin with, make sure that consumers have a range of options when it comes to contact methods. Some will prefer to email, others want to phone. Make sure that they can do both. If yours is a transactional website, make sure that a range of payment options are on offer. You can accept credit and debit card payments easily using services like Paypal.
6. Learn to optimise
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a key factor that could dictate whether or not your website is a success. SEO is a set of techniques designed to improve your site's performance in search engine rankings. You will 'optimise' your site to perform well for specific keywords; these might include your brand name, a product name, or phrases relating to the services you offer. You might achieve this through writing relevant, valuable content, building links from other sites, submitting articles to directories, or any number of other techniques. Click here for more information on SEO.
7. Consider PPC
Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising is another important way of driving traffic to your website. The most common form of PPC advertising is the 'sponsored listings' that appear at the top of Google results pages. You can 'bid' to appear in this list. PPC can be a great way of boosting traffic while you are waiting for your optimisation efforts to take effect, or if you are running a special marketing campaign. Click here for more information on PPC.
8. Read your emails
You should have a customer service email address prominently displayed throughout your website. In addition, though, it is vital that you monitor the emails you receive. It is vital that you reply to enquiries promptly if you are to stand any chance of closing a sale. Many of the major retailers now pledge to reply to correspondence within four hours. Try to emulate this wherever possible.
9. Test, test, test
Finally, it is vital that you test your website before unleashing it on the world. Consumers simply will not put up with clunky or misbehaving websites; they will go elsewhere very quickly. It is therefore imperative that you spend time making sure that there are no dead links, that every page behaves as it should, and that the site is compatible with the major browsers.
Building a great website is a learning process. Your site will be tweaked and overhauled over time, and you might end up with something completely different to whatever it was that you first envisioned. But, by getting online today, you can help to build a profitable and well-connected future for your business.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Todd Herremans is a realist. The Eagles' 10th –year right guard out of tiny Saginaw Valley State is someone who won't throw sunshine in places it doesn't belong and one of those areas is reflecting on his 2013 season.
Herremans, one of the Eagles' respected elder statesmen, stopped an inquisitor short when they described his 2013 season as a "great year," correcting them and specifying that he had "a healthy year." Otherwise, he wasn't too pleased with 2013.
It's little surprising coming from Herremans, who's been an Eagles' stalwart and the one of the most versatile offensive linemen in team history, playing every position on the offensive line except center.
But he demanded more from himself in 2013, and it gnaws at him that he didn't play up to the level he expects. His aim is to make up for that this season, which carries with it a lot of promise.
"I don't feel like I played very well early [in 2013], I had some lumps in the beginning of the year," Herremans said. "I just have to get comfortable playing at [right] guard and I still don't think I'm there. I know I can play better than I am now. I remember when I was playing left guard for so many years I felt really good. I felt that I was one of the top guards in the league.
"I feel that I can back to that. It's still a process. It's not a left-right thing, because I've always been able to bounce from side-to-side. I think that's been one of my strong points is that they can plug me in anywhere and it's a reason why I think I've been around for so long. I'm kind of like a Band-Aid sometimes."
Herremans said he envisions returning to form as one of the top guards in the NFL. That comes with working more on his balance and suring-up his pass protection. He's walking around at 315 pounds and he's pleased with that weight, which set him back last year when he came in a little heavier than he would have liked, and consequently, he didn't move as well.
"Plus I think when [former offensive line coach] Howard [Mudd] was here, and I was playing tackle, he had our tackles basically running out and jump-setting everything," Herremans said. "Then when I was moved back inside at guard, it took me a while to shift my weight back and hold my weight inside. I feel like the training camp is going in a right direction. I feel more comfortable inside without question than I did this time last year. There is a bigger thing here, too, because as a team we're all heading in the right direction. We had a really good training camp."
Herreman will be faced with another challenge in being paired with right tackle Allen Barbre, who will be replacing Lane Johnson while he serves his league suspension.
"Working with someone new has been the trend for the last three or four years, I played next to Danny [Watkins], next to Lane and now Al," Herremans said. "Al knows his stuff and he's making his calls. Right now it's a matter of him and I working together, rather than playing one-on-one. It's still a process and there's some things there that we can tighten up and we've been working it. It can only get better."

Frustrated with govt inaction, Karnataka Lokayukta quits
Justice N Santosh Hegde was apparently miffed over the state govt's failure to empower him.
Zeenews Bureau
Bangalore: Miffed over the state government's failure to empower him, Karnataka Lokayukta Justice N Santosh Hegde, who was probing the mining mafia of Bellary's powerful Reddy brothers, resigned from his post on Wednesday.
"I don`t want to be useless sitting in a position. It is not enough if I catch people. I need powers to bring cases to logical conclusion," Hegde told a news conference shortly
after resigning from the post he occupied four years ago.
"I have suffered mentally. There are several instances to show how the government has ignored or deliberately overruled or shown indifference to the institution," he added.
Justice Hegde met state Governor H R Bhardwaj in the evening and submitted his resignation to him. The resignation would be effective August 31.
"Under the Lokayukta Act, when a person is not occupying the post, that post becomes defunct and not vacant. Since the post of Upa Lokayukta remained vacant in the last six months, I will be there till August 31," Hegde said.
In a scathing attack on the government of Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, Hegde said there were instances of officials suspended over corruption charges being reinstated and posted in the same position.
"This is a slap on my face, on the institution," he said.
Former Supreme Court judge Hegde, like former Karnataka Lokayukta Justice M N Venkatachaliah, had been demanding greater authority from the state government, including suo moto power to probe corrupt officials.
Successive governments in Karnataka have been speaking of empowering the Lokayukta, but no such development has taken place in view of the unified opposition from state bureaucrats and politicians.
Justice Hegde was also frustrated with the state government's attitude of delaying "necessary action" against officials caught on corruption charges the Lokayukta.
Justice Hegde's team, which was probing the activities of Bellary's powerful Reddy brothers' mining mafia, had also prepared a report on illegal mining in the state. The Lokayukta however felt that the state government was not acting in the right direction towards the report.
Justice Hegde said he did not target any lobby but he did take action against illegal mining. Later, while speaking to a news channel, the former SC judge said illegal mining was on in Karnataka on a huge scale.
The Lokayukta said he could have continued in the post enjoying the perks like car with red beacon but he was only following his father`s advice that "don`t stay in a place where you are made to feel you are unwanted".
Hegde asserted that he will not change his mind even if pressure is brought on him. "This is not a spur of the moment decision, not an emotional one, though I have suffered mentally.
Hegde denied that he was resigning because of a news report telecast by a Kannada TV channel that it was due to a contempt notice against him.
"I have not received any contempt notice. The news telecast by the channel is far from truth. I can file a defamation suit against it. It is an option which I will decide," he said.
During his tenure, Justice Hegde carried out over 100 successful raids and nabbed many officers having disproportionate assets.
His office had even caught two-time BJP legislator Y Sampangi for allegedly taking a Rs 5 lakh bribe to settle a land dispute in January 2009.
The Lokayukta was snubbed when a seven-member special House panel let off Sampangi in March 2010. The panel, which included four BJP legislators, concluded that "in the absence of sufficient evidences to prove the guilt as registered by the police, it is difficult to say that the member of the House has misused his office or conducted himself in an improper manner".
Justice Hegde had once said that "consecutive governments have not taken the issue of corruption seriously. Amendments are in fact made to dilute law (as in Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988)."
Hegde was appointed as Karnataka Lokayukta on August 3, 2006 for a term of five years and still had 14 months left in his tenure. He was given a public service award from Transparency International for his work.

Tradition a Major Theme in World of Outlaws 2006 Schedule Norman, OK -- Jan. 6, 2005 -- The World of Outlaws Sprint Series' 29-year tradition of bringing the best collection of winged sprint car drivers from coast-to-coast will continue once...
Tradition a Major Theme in World of Outlaws 2006 Schedule
Norman, OK -- Jan. 6, 2005 -- The World of Outlaws Sprint Series' 29-year tradition of bringing the best collection of winged sprint car drivers from coast-to-coast will continue once again in 2006 at many of the great dirt racing facilities in the United States.
The Outlaws will sanction prestigious events at some of the most historic dirt tracks in the country, including Williams Grove Speedway, Eldora Speedway, Knoxville Raceway and Silver Dollar Speedway. The teams also will be chasing a share of nearly $6 million in purses, points fund and other awards at events near many of the country's major markets, from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Columbus to Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Kansas City as well as Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Seattle.
In addition, on May 24 the series will return for first time since 2003 to the Dirt Track at Lowe's Motor Speedway, in Concord, NC, just north of Charlotte.
Also returning to the schedule after at least a year without seeing the World of Outlaws compete are tracks rich in Outlaws tradition, such as the Terre Haute Action Track in Terre Haute, Ind.; Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash.; Wayne County Speedway in Orville, Ohio; Limaland Motorsports Park in Lima, Ohio; Black Hills Speedway in Rapid City, S.D.; Butler Motor Speedway in Quincy, Mich.; and Orange County Fair Speedway in Middletown, N.Y.
The World of Outlaws also will make its series debut in 2006 at several venues, including United Sports Arizona Race Park in Tucson, Ariz.; US 36 Raceway in Osborn, Mo., only an hour north of Kansas City; and Wilmot Speedway in Wilmot, Wis.
The traditional "Month of Money" begins with the Kings Royal weekend July 14-15 at Eldora Speedway followed by the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup on July 18 at Lernerville Speedway and the Summer Nationals on July 20-22 at Williams Grove Speedway. The Outlaws teams also will compete August 9-12 in the 46th Annual Knoxville Nationals Presented by Midwest Ford Dealers, which has a purse in excess of $800,000.
The stretch run includes two of the biggest events of the season, with the $50,000-to-win Gold Cup Race of Champions on Sept. 7-9 at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., and the $50,000-to-win Williams Grove National Open on Sept. 29-30 at Williams Grove Speedway.
"Shane Carson and I have worked hard to assemble a schedule that will hopefully allow fans across the country to attend a World of Outlaws race without having to spend large amounts of money on travel to our events," said DIRT Vice President and CFO Brian Carter. "At the same time, we realize our teams earn their livings by racing night in and night out so we tried to find an appropriate balance that still allows the teams to compete in most of the major markets in the country without sacrificing events at many tracks that have supported the World of Outlaws for a long time.
"Racing for nearly $6 million on the Outlaws tour plus another $800,000 at the Knoxville Nationals means these guys get to race for serious cash again in 2006.
"We hope to add a few more events to the schedule in the coming weeks, but we also realize it's important at this time to have a schedule out to the public to help teams acquire sponsorship and to allow the fans we've heard from make their plans to attend World of Outlaws events like they've done for so long."
The impressive lineup of drivers competing in the 2006 World of Outlaws Sprint Series Mean 15 includes 2005 top-10 racers Craig Dollansky, Donny Schatz, Daryn Pittman, Terry McCarl and Brooke Tatnell, along with returning Outlaws stars Jac Haudenschild, Randy Hannagan and Dion Hindi as well as the Woodring Racing team, which will include long-time sprint car star Kenny Jacobs sharing driving duties with rookie Becca Anderson.
Many of sprint car racing's newest stars also are featured in the 2006 Mean 15, including Jeremy Campbell, who comes to the Outlaws after a successful run with the All Star Circuit of Champions series; Brian Carlson, who is a respected long-time racer and former World of Outlaws competitor; Justin Henderson, who has starred as a weekly racer at historic Knoxville Raceway and Huset's Speedway; Chad Kemenah, who earned his first Outlaws victory in 2005 while also capturing his fourth consecutive All Star title; Jason Martin, who is only 23 but already has 57 wins in his career with several series; and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who at 18 already is a former 360 sprint car driver of the year with victories in the USCS and ASCS.

Valentines are so fun for me to make for my kiddos each year. I already shared these cute mustache valentines this year, but for my daughter's preschool class I knew a Disney valentine would be a hit! We are big Disney fans (as I'm sure you can tell by now), and I wanted to share these fun Mickey and Minnie Valentines with you!
The best thing about these printable valentines is you can use any treat with them. Heart shaped suckers like we did or you could really make them non-candy valentine as well with these fun Disney stamps, bubbles, or Mickey Mouse stickers.
You will need:
-Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse Valentine
-Glue gun (I love this one!) and hot glue sticks
-Washi Tap
1. Download and print the valentine on cardstock.
2. Glue or use washi tape to attach your gift to the printable. You can use either glue or washi tape- depending on what item you are giving with the valentine. We hot glued the suckers to the valentine since they are protected by the wrapper.
These Mickey and Minnie Mouse valentines are so fun for any Disney lovers!

Hypnosis, like meditation, has a dubious image. Many people over many years have made their living by overlaying this practical and useful technique with unwarranted mystical and magical rituals. In fact, it is a useful tool for achieving deep relaxation.
Self-hypnosis is when you hypnotize yourself. This is often more practical as a stress management tool than normal hypnosis, as you do not need to have a hypnotist present.
Relax your body. A good way of doing this is to close your eyes and imagine waves of relaxation running down your body from your scalp downwards, washing out stress. Let the waves run in time with your breathing, first washing down over your head, then your neck, then your torso, then arms, and finally your legs. Feel the muscles in your body relaxing as the waves of relaxation wash over them.
Very helpful self hypnosis for meditation.

I didn't get this chapter done on the day after the last one was published because I had a lot of coursework for school poured onto me. So sorry for making you wait. Anyway this is the Final Chapter for A New Age. Since it is the last chapter I am going to introduce a new OC thanks to Blitz Drago so consider it a Treat. Enjoy the last chapter of my First story.
Chapter 16: Spyros' Family.
It has been 4 months since the survivors of Warfang Came to DragonFang. Cyril has given up on convincing Frost of leaving Shadow but is not happy about it. Spyro has been preparing as Cynder only has 2 months to go before she needs to lay her Eggs. The guardians have been helping people get setup in the City so it is like Warfang now.
Spyro woke up with Cynder in his arms. He decided to stay like that until she woke up. His wish was granted for another 20 minutes. Cynder stirred" Morning handsome." Spyro blushed and licked her cheek" Morning gorgeous as you always are". Cynder blushed and Kissed Spyro. Spyro lost himself to the pleasure while he rubbed Cynders belly.
Cynder's belly has gotten very swollen and large so it is harder for her to get up or take off when they are going somewhere. Spyro has been exploring the city since Cynder has been relaxing. When the love birds parted lips Spyro said" How long is it until you need to lay our eggs." Spyro licked Cynder's cheek and Cynder stared into his eyes" 2 months but before that lets go to the guardians to see if they need help setting up." Spyro nodded and got up leading the way out of the room.
Meanwhile hundreds of miles away in the ruins of Warfang...
Tyrone was walking around searching for any body's of the battle months ago and especially the purple dragon's one. He was walking around for ages and got tired of looking" They must have escaped before the Golems unleashed the shockwave. There isn't many body's here." He turned around and walked over to another Dragon the Same colour as him but a bit lighter" I'm afraid there isn't any sign of Spyro here love." The mysterious dragoness said" He must have retreated to somewhere else my love but just because we won doesn't mean I forgiven you about kissing Cynder."
Tyrone put his paw on her shoulder" Hey I didn't really love Cynder I was trying to get her to join the Side of my Fathers again so we could kill the one who killed my Father." The Dragoness pulled him into a kiss." Oh don't worry he will die we just need to train are children when they arrive in the Dark ways and then with them we can crush Spyro and his Children." Tyrone smiled" I know Jade we will not fail. We will finish what father started". Tyrone walked out of the plaza and back to the Burned lands where Malefor used to rein.
Back in DragonFang...
Spyro led Cynder to the guardian's chamber. Spyro heard talking on the other side of the door and listened to the conversation as he leant on the door." It is good to see you again after all these years. We thought you were killed in the war. I'm glad we were wrong." Unknown voice said" Yes I'm glad I lived to see you as well. I trust you have been taking care of my Son ever since I left him with you." Spyro got suspicious at that part" Yes he is well I'm sure he will want to meet you." Mysterious voice said" How is Cynder anyway. If I recall correctly Spyro saved her and was freed from Malefor and joined him at the temple with you". Spyro got very suspicious that the mysterious voice said she had a Son and knows a lot about Cynder" Well she knows quite a bit doesn't she." Spyro nodded to Cynder and then listened again" Oh yes I heard Ignitus died please tell me it isn't true." Terrador voice came up" No he's alive He has become the New Chronicler." Cyril's voice came up" Well I guess I should go round up the Young ones to meet you. Be back in a minute. Galaxia"
Spyro and Cynder panicked by this and used their cloaking abilities (Spyros' light and Cynders Shadow) so Cyril wouldn't see them as he disappeared around the corner. When he vanished they turned off their abilities and decided to go in. The Second they entered Terrador said" Spyro, Cynder. Didn't Cyril see you?" Spyro looked to him" No we saw him turn to the Corner opposite the way we came and went out of sight." Terrador laughed" Well Cyril has gone out for nothing. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he gets back." Terrador looked to an Ice Dragoness" Oh yes before I forget there is someone you should meet. Spyro, Cynder this is Galaxia, Elder". Spyro got a confused look on his face "What's an Elder?" Galaxia turned to him and answered his question" The Elder's are Dragons and Dragonesses who serve as mentors and advisors for the rest of the Dragon race. When Malefor became 100 years old I was 30 and he was 600 before you defeated him." Spyro now understood" Anyway glad to meet the purple dragon who saved us all from the Darkness and Evil over the lands and ah yes Cynder." Cynder shock her head as she thought she was going to say something about her past.
"It is good to see a hero who evolved from the Darkness and saved us as well. Look Cynder you may think all Dragons who hate you want you to be dead but I understand you were controlled by Malefor and I know it wasn't your fault." Cynder smiled to her" Thank you." Galaxia turned back to Spyro" now Spyro I have come here to tell you something in Private so can everyone else give us a minute in private please. Everyone except Spyro nodded and left the room and shut the door behind them." Now Spyro what I am about to tell you can either make you the happiest dragon ever or the most upset dragon ever." Spyro remained silent.
"Okay do you know your mentor Ignitus" Spyro nodded" Well you see he is my Mate. And this story will take place just a bit before the raid on the temple. We met at the academy when we were young. We trained with eachother everyday and he was always got nervous when he saw me. 1 year later he asked me to be his Mate and I said yes by the fact I wanted him too. 468 years later we attempted to have a first child but when I layed the Egg the Egg went pure black and shattered to pieces, that means a baby dragon dies from a stillbirth. Ignitus couldn't take it and wouldn't leave the room for a week. 100 years later we try again and we did get a baby but she only lasted a year because of a disease. Ignitus repeated the same thing as last time. Almost a year before the Raid on the temple Ignitus had been scanning through every book he could get his hands on about dangers to new-borns. And then he knew how it would work. So we tried again and we left it at the temple for safe keeping." Spyro shuck his head" Wow I'm sorry I guess it got destroyed and Ignitus almost snapped over it." Galaxia smiled" No Spyro in fact it was rescued during the Raid, not by me but Ignitus." Spyro got suspicious" What are you talking about." This Egg was sent down a River and when it hatched it was a purple Dragon who got adopted into A Dragon Family." Spyro went wide-eyed" Wait Are you saying you are my-my-m-my Mo-Mo." Spyro stopped.
Galaxia moved to him" Yes Spyro I am your mother and Ignitus is your Father." Spyro was so wide eyed and couldn't imagine that his mother was still alive and His Father was Ignitus. Spyro ran up to Galaxia and hugged her as Tears came from his eyes" I can't believe my mother is right here in front of me." Galaxia nuzzled him" Spyro it is Okay I am here now. I know I was never there but I had to guide the dragons to Safety so I am sorry I couldn't be there." Spyro parted from the hug and said" I don't know why you wasn't with me but I am happy you are here and what's best you will get to tell stories to my children when they arrive." Galaxia went wide eyed" You mean your" Spyro smiled" Yes me and Cynder are mates and we will be parents soon." Galaxia smiled and nuzzled Spyro" You are Sure My boy" Now I think we should let everyone back in. Spyro nodded and went to the door.
Spyro opened it and the Guardians and Cynder, Frost and Shadow came into the room and gathered round the room."Well Galaxia I'm sure it went well. Terrador finished as Galaxia nodded" Cynder walked up to her" While you were talking Terrador told me the whole thing and are you really Spyros' mother." Galaxia nodded" Yes Cynder I am and I will look forward to seeing my Grandchildren asleep next to you and Spyro when they arrive." Cynder blushed and nuzzled Spyro for telling her about the children. "Well pleased to meet you. I am Shadow and this is my Mate frost." Cyril glared at Shadow when he said that and Frost noticed this." Yes nice to meet you Galaxia I'm sure you will be staying I hope." Galaxia looked to Frost" Yes I will be staying to be a Mentor to the young ones of this City as I can see I will be of more use here as there are more Dragons here." Frost nuzzled Shadow as they left the room while Cyril didn't turn his Glare away from Shadow.
"Cyn I think we should go back to the room or go to the lake." Cynder nuzzled him and said" Let's go to the room." Spyro nodded and led her to the room. When they left Galaxia turned to the guardians" Wow I am so proud of Spyro that he is going to be a Father already.
At Spyros' room 10 minutes later...
"I am so happy I have a mother at last but I wish Ignitus... I mean dad was here as well so I could hug him as well." Cynder rubbed up against him as they were on the Balcony at night." I know and I am happy are children will be have a grandmother." Spyro smiled at Cynder and licked her cheek." Thanks Cyn and best of all we only have 2 months left to wait. Cynder laughed as she had to correct him" 3 actually because they will take a month to hatch after I have layed them." Spyro got embarrassed" You should know this Spyro but I won't tell anyone if you give me a kiss." Spyro was happy to oblige. The couple locked lips as they were on the balcony. When they parted they looked to the Sky in the Night. The pair had their eyes fixed to the Sky as they loved the look of the Night. Today is a Day they will not want to forget ever.
Well that's that. Thank you for reading as this Story is now finished. I have already started to plan the Sequel but it will take time. In the Meantime if you have any questions please send it to me in a PM.
Thank you for Reading and Please Review. I would like you to include in your Reviews a rating out of ten of what you think of the story.
Until the Sequel is released. PEACE.

Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) released the following statement today after the Supreme Court ruled the Affordable Care Act constitutional:
"The decision today is a victory for the American people and the health and future of our nation. With this ruling, the Supreme Court confirmed that the reforms in the Affordable Care Act will move forward and provide millions of Americans with the fundamental human right of health care.
"The Affordable Care Act will now take its rightful place with Social Security and Medicare as powerful examples of what this country can do to improve the lives of every American.
"As the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus when Congress crafted the Affordable Health Care Act, I am particularly pleased that our work to ensure the strongest possible health care law and provisions to reduce and eliminate health care disparities will move forward.
"Now we can and must stand prepared to fight back any Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and deny health care and patient protections to millions of Americans. We cannot turn back now but build upon this victory and continue our march toward affordable, quality health care for all."

|Rocket-Powered Surfboard
|Invented by
|Gary the Gadget Guy
|Damaged by
The Rocket-Powered Surfboard is one of Gary's many inventions. It was a surfboard with two small rockets on it. It was tested by the penguin who created a freeze ray. It appeared in The Inventor's Apprentice. Two different things could happen to the board, depending on your decision. One way, with heat proof shields, it goes greatly, the other, with light shields, the board gets destroyed catastrophically.
- Another rocket-powered surfboard is the X-Treme Jetpack Surf Hopperz, an invention by X-Treme Penguin.

gretaleonard Nathan makes me see the world in new and different ways. I love all of his works of art.
redtreeme Vibrant, cool, evocative. Splendid book.
javahead46 I have long been a fan of Nathan's images as the appear in FB. It is wonderful to see so many old favorites within the book. I love the choices he made in the juxtaposition of images and the repetitions throughout the book. I have used his work as a morning meditation to meet the day with new eyes.
violettmoss Nathan Griffith's photography is beautiful, funny and nearly always surprising. The everyday is wonderfully unexpected in Nathan's world, and I look forward to new installments of "what i saw" to expand my own visual landscape. A truly worthwhile collection for the coffee table!
