Assessing fitness-to-practice of overseas-trained health practitioners by Australian registration & accreditation bodies
Assessment and evaluation of admissions, knowledge, skills and attitudes
Assessment of fitness-to-practice of health professionals trained overseas and who wish to practice in Australia is undertaken by a range of organisations. These organisations conduct assessments using a range of methods. However there is very little published about how these organisations conduct their assessments. The purpose of the current paper is to investigate the methods of assessment used by these organisations and the issues associated with conducting these assessments.
A series of semi-structured interviews was undertaken with a variety of organisations who undertake assessments of overseas-trained health professionals who wish to practice in Australia. Content analysis of the interviews was used to identify themes and patterns.
Four themes were generated from the content analysis of the interviews: (1) assessing; (2) process; (3) examiners; and (4) cost-efficiency. The themes were interconnected and each theme also had a number of sub-themes.
The organisations who participated in the present study used a range of assessment methods to assess overseas trained health professionals. These organisations also highlighted a number of issues, particularly related to examiners and process issues, pre- and post-assessment. Organisations demonstrated an appreciation for ongoing review of their assessment processes and incorporating evidence from the literature to inform their processes and assessment development.
Assessment of fitness-to-practice in a jurisdiction is commonplace where a person trained in one country wishes to practice in another. These assessments take many forms and are designed to assess the competency or the capability of the practitioner. The overarching role of the assessment is to protect the public from practitioners who are not competent
In Australia, the assessment of overseas trained health professionals who wish to practice in Australia (and in some cases New Zealand) rests with the health professional accreditation bodies or professional associations. In the case of the professional accreditation bodies, this role is assigned by regulators under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Act (2009)
The assessments undertaken by these bodies varies depending on the competencies and capabilities set out for that profession, with the methods of assessment chosen to ensure that a range of these competencies and capabilities are assessed
Whilst very little has been published on the methods of assessment
Pharmacists seeking to practice in Ontario, Canada undertake a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) that assesses the candidates learning through both formal and informal education
The OSCE format is used widely in fitness-to-practice assessments. Austin et al.
This suggests that assessment of English language proficiency should form part of the assessment process, and organisations should not rely solely on standardised English-language tests. In addition to English-language assessment, Archer
The aim of the current paper is to identify the methods of assessment used by those bodies that undertake the assessment of overseas trained health professionals in Australia, and to identify the issues surrounding these assessments and how these issues are managed.
Study design
Semi-structured interviews were used to explore how Australian health professional assessment bodies assess overseas-trained practitioners. An interview schedule (Table
The study was approved by the Victoria University Faculty of Health, Engineering and Science Human Research Ethics Committee.
Thirteen (N=13) professional bodies who assess fitness-to-practice of overseas trained health professionals were approached to participate in interviews exploring current practices in the assessment of overseas-trained health professionals wishing to practice in Australia.
The interviews were conducted by a researcher (VS) experienced in conducting interviews for research.
Data collection
All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Notes were taken during interviews to include any relevant non-verbal cues and to assist with data transcription (e.g., when the quality of the recording was compromised by background noise). Participants were sent a copy of their transcribed interviews and were asked to make any necessary changes (e.g., if the researcher had misheard a statement) and/or add any additional comments.
Data analysis
Utilising NVivo (QSR International, Victoria, Australia) a primarily directed approach to content analysis was used to select and focus data from transcriptions and notes
Eleven (N=11) organisations agreed to participate (Table

Assessing (Theme 1)
Professional bodies used a variety of assessment strategies to assess whether an overseas-trained practitioner was eligible to be registered to practice in Australia (Figure

Although a traditional unstructured
Risk management was a primary concern for most organisations, particularly for those professions where the potential risk to patients was high. Issues and solutions were identified from a variety of aspects including minimising risk to the community from practising health professionals, decreasing the risk of harm to those participating in examinations, reducing harm to the candidate by placing them in a situation they are ill-equipped to handle, considering the candidate's potential impact on colleagues and the risk of candidate's appealing or engaging in legal action because of the assessment outcome:
The assessment of cultural competency was increasingly important for most professional bodies and was seen as a complex issue to assess:
The main focus identified in the area of cultural competency was the ability of candidates to treat patients from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, including indigenous Australians and/or patients of different ages. Cultural competency was sometimes assessed in written and clinical examinations by presenting scenarios that included cultural aspects. In examinations where real patients were included, most organisations screened the patients and did not include those with language difficulties that required an interpreter.
Another issue raised in terms of cultural competency was the possibility of culturally-influenced responses. Caution was advised when developing assessments so that candidates from different cultures are not mis-cued. Concern was also expressed about the inability of candidates to gain employment without an understanding of the Australian workplace culture (e.g., allied health support staff), particularly if competing against Australian candidates for positions.
Assessing a
For some professional bodies communication was seen as '…stuff that is not easy for us to assess'. One concern was that written assessments (e.g., portfolios, MCQs) or simulation-style assessments did not allow observation of candidates' communication skills in areas such as relationship-building with the client. One strategy to overcome this in portfolio assessment was to ask the candidates to submit a video of a treatment session or consultation. Another solution identified was a change to workplace assessment.
Knowledge of the
One solution suggested was a consensus between the states or a national standard. Although some organisations did not directly assess knowledge of the Australian health system they provided information on the system to candidates through publications or guest speakers. Another recommendation for candidates was to spend some time observing in an Australian clinical setting. This was seen as a very effective learning experience for candidates who were struggling in the area.
Processing (Theme 2)
For each organisation the assessment of overseas-trained professionals was a process that was continually being reviewed with the aim of increasing its efficiency and effectiveness (Figure

Decisions about a candidate's eligibility to participate in the assessment process were based on a number of criteria. Satisfactory completion of
Another strategy used was to recognise equivalent
Professional bodies required candidates to complete
Several professional bodies conducted their written examination at both on-shore and off-shore locations (Theme 2.1.2). Factors taken into consideration in adopting this strategy were convenience for candidates (i.e., not having to travel to Australia) and cost to the organisation. Several professional bodies that were unable to conduct stand-alone testing sessions due to candidate numbers linked with other Australian professional bodies to run combined sessions. The examinations were conducted through experienced and reliable overseas venues:
There was some variation in what
One organisation noted that cultural expectations need to be considered in communicating results:
Even so, using graduating students was seen as desirable as often the passing score for the examination was based on the graduating Australian student level.
Professional bodies were asked to identify the main strengths (Table
Examining (Theme 3)
Commonly the minimum standard (Theme 3.1.1, Figure

Sub-themes identified within the Examining theme
Sub-themes identified within the Examining theme.
In specific assessments systems, standards were generally set according to professional standards. One strategy to set criteria in clinical assessment was to use a panel of experts to make decisions. Several professional bodies required candidates to gain a least 75% for their clinical examination with some parts of the assessments being hurdle requirements.
Strategies (Theme 3.1.2) used in marking candidates in clinical examinations included using rubrics with checklists and/or rating scales when assessing candidates. Checklists were used for assessors to note whether or not participants had performed certain components or achieved defined performance indicators. For those that used checklists there was a certain amount of assessor discretion allowed in terms of marking areas that were not included due to the circumstances of the examination.
Assessor judgement was also used when rating. Candidates were marked according to the standard of their performance but an overall pass or fail decision was made at the completion of the clinical assessment. It was noted that this strategy was not based on any statistical grounds and may be reviewed.
Assessors from an education background are seen as advantageous not just because of their skills but also because they have experience with entry-level practitioners.
Cost-efficiency (Theme 4)
The cost of examinations (Figure
Figure 4
Sub-themes identified within the Cost-efficiency theme
Sub-themes identified within the Cost-efficiency theme.
The cost of assessment of overseas-trained practitioners was a significant part of the annual budget for most professional bodies. Although candidate fees contributed to the costs, in most organisations the profession subsidised the costs; the institution running the examinations was 'extremely kind to us and don't actually charge us, you know, the full amount' and/or many professionals voluntarily gave their time. Fees were set at a level that made the examination feasible but not too expensive for candidates.
It was also important for examinations to be efficient in use of other resources. For large candidate numbers, written examinations using MCQs met this criterion. For most professional bodies, however, clinical assessment was resource intensive. A major human resource consideration was the administrative staff that worked to organise examinations and disseminate information to candidates. Organisations considering the introduction of examinations were concerned about the resources required to do this.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the methods of assessment of overseas-trained health professionals who wish to practice in Australia. The main themes identified in the analysis of responses from the interviews of Australian assessment bodies were
Under the theme
The assessment methods employed by these organisations ranged from short-answer questions and MCQs (testing basic science and theoretical knowledge)
Not surprisingly, risk management was a primary concern for most organisations, where different types of risk and associated risk mitigation strategies were discussed. Risks were identified in a number of areas including minimisation of harm to the community and decreasing the risk of harm to patients (or standardised patients) during the examination process. Ensuring that candidates were equipped to cope with workplace based assessments and the environment in which these assessments are conducted was a further concern.
When designing assessments, the bodies identified a number of areas that presented challenges. These included the assessment of cultural competence, communication, knowledge of the Australian health system and after-care/follow-up of the patient. Both cultural competence
Post-assessment issues including candidate feedback and appeals were also canvassed. Most organisations provided feedback to candidates who failed an element(s) of the assessment process and this assisted in clarifying areas in which the candidate needs to improve and also minimise appeals, ensuring the process is fair and transparent
Within the theme
Most organisations spent large amounts of time and money on their examiners, in terms of training, recruitment and payments to assess. Examiners were typically selected based on clinical experience as well as experience in education
The range of practices reported under the theme
Most of the organisations who participated in the current study have invested large amounts of time and resources, both financial and administrative, into the development and ongoing review of their assessment processes. Whilst many organisations are utilising assessment methods they have employed for a number of years, there was recognition that 'newer' assessment types such as the portfolio may be useful in the overall assessment process. The assessment methods were often chosen based on the resources available to that organisation (i.e. MCQ for medicine). Most processes include multiple assessment methods, with these methods blueprinted to assess a range of competencies and capabilities for that profession. Overall, the organisations interviewed provided an impression of the use of the literature to inform their assessment processes and the use of robust, defensible assessments of overseas-trained health professionals who wish to practice in Australia.

Thanks for your question.
Could you provide some context, what do you need to provide in writing?
Kind regards,
In some circumstances, litigation and company notice of general meetings, notice by email is permitted by Law (unless opted out by a party).
In the case of a Club, which I assume to be a members or social club, I do not believe there is a law implying service be email. I should have thought it best to serve notice in writing in the normal way (ie. by post if that is what is done) and then pass a further rule at the AGM that service of notice for meetings in the future shall be permitted to be by email and ask those persons who wish to be so served to provide their email addresses.
As it's a AGM I would think have thought that quite a few people's noses will be put out of joint if service by email is used and has not been the commonly used method in the past. Better to play this one with a straight bat then create potential disharmony which could take up more of your time than the amount of time saved in serving by email.

Human Rights, Chiapas, Spring 1993
Published: January 7, 1994
In May -- more than seven months before the New Year's rebellion that has taken scores of lives in Chiapas, in southwestern Mexico -- a team of observers from Minnesota Advocates for Human Rights visited Chiapas to investigate reports that soldiers and police officers had beaten, tortured and illegally detained civilians. What follows are excerpts from the team's report, prepared by Eric Rosenthal and published to little notice in August 1993. ANDREW REDING, director of the North America project of the World Policy Institute
In Chiapas, on March 28-29, 1993, following the disappearance and presumed killing of two soldiers, approximately 400 soldiers and a handful of police arbitrarily detained, searched and beat civilians in two Tzotzil [ Indian ] villages. Police tortured a number of those detained. On April 25, about 200 police returned to the same village, searched and looted homes, and again interrogated and tortured villagers.
On May 8, some 400 police in at least 47 vehicles returned to the village, only to find it had been deserted. When the Minnesota team visited the village of San Isidro on May 25, it was still entirely deserted.
A third incident occurred while the Minnesota team was in Chiapas. On May 24, 500 to 1,000 soldiers detained the entire Tzeltal population of Patate Viejo for two hours while they conducted house-to-house searches.
The military and police entered the village of Mitziton late on the night of March 28-29 and detained four residents. Minnesota Advocates interviewed two of the four detainees, Rafael Heredia Lopez, age 39, and Julio Perez Diaz, 16. Both Heredia Lopez and Perez Diaz said they were awakened by knocks on their doors late on the night of March 28. They said that non-uniformed individuals entered their homes and dragged them outside. The men did not have arrest or search warrants, nor did they show identification of any kind.
Heredia Lopez said six non-uniformed men made him lie face down on the floor as they searched his home, strewing his possessions around and breaking ceramic pots. They found and took his .22-caliber rifle, then dragged him outside by the hair before he had a chance to dress. Once outside, he saw that 30 to 40 heavily armed soldiers had surrounded his home.
Julio Perez Diaz said men in plain clothes entered, searched and ransacked his home, confiscating a handsaw. They kicked him in the back and dragged him outside. There men in plain clothes held him down while a soldier interrogated him about the killing and about what he knew about San Isidro, demanding to know "what crimes I had committed."
Both Heredia Lopez and Perez Diaz said they were taken in a white pickup truck, along with two other villagers, to the Rancho Nuevo military base. There they were subjected to further interrogation under bright lights that prevented them from identifying their interrogators. Julio believed they were soldiers. After a brief stop at the military base, the men were taken to the police station in San Cristobal. Both men reported being held incommunicado for 12 hours and without food for about 24 hours.
Heredia Lopez said he was alternately accused of killing the soldiers and questioned about who committed the murder. He told them he knew nothing of the murders, nor had he ever been to the village of San Isidro, six hours away by foot. The police told Heredia Lopez that "Andres" (a man he did not know) had told them he was the murderer. When Heredia Lopez refused to confess, the police made him lie in a large tire with his hands tied behind his back. They tipped his head back, forced open his mouth with a piece of wood and poured water into his mouth, until he felt he would drown. They then placed the barrel of a rifle to the side of his head and told him to make a declaration.
After about 30 minutes' interrogation, Heredia Lopez was taken to La Merced, an abandoned prison in San Cristobal, along with three other men from San Isidro. They were met there by six or seven armed men in plain clothes who said they were going to kill him. Heredia Lopez pleaded with them to get it over with quickly. Instead, they continued to interrogate him about the killing. When he failed to provide them with useful information, one man raised a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. The gun was not loaded.
Heredia Lopez was held in a cell at La Merced for two to three hours, then returned to the prosecutor's office. Both Perez Diaz and Heredia Lopez were held on Monday night, March 29, and released on Tuesday, March 30. Minnesota Advocates interviewed Shilon and Mariano de la Cruz Lopez, also a resident of San Isidro, who were present when some 200 police returned to San Isidro on April 25. Most were security police in blue uniform, but they were accompanied by men in plain clothes claiming to be judicial police. Neither Shilon nor de la Cruz saw the police present any official identification, let alone search or arrest warrants.
Shilon and de la Cruz told similar stories of being detained by police and tortured. Each was kicked and beaten with guns while being interrogated about the killing. They were then taken to the hill behind the basketball court in the center of town.While flat on their backs, they had theirs mouths forced open, cloths placed over their heads, and 20-liter containers of water poured over their faces. De la Cruz said the water filled his nose and mouth, and he believed he would die. He was then pulled up, interrogated again, and the process repeated. Both men said they were submitted to this treatment three times. Shilon's 17-year-old son Luis was also tortured.

Beyonce to Tabloids: "No Wedding Pics for You!"
For all the wheeling and dealing that Beyonce's been doing lately, there's one offer she's not about to entertain: selling photos of her wedding to Jay-Z to the tabloids.
The weighty, worldly chanteuse admits that no amount of money would persuade her to shill pics of her top-secret nuptials to Jay-Z, which took place on April 4 in the Tribeca area of New York, the Associated Press reports.
"Now, they offer crazy money that's just ridiculous," the possible future Wonder Woman says. "But in the end, absolutely not. It's so not worth it. If anything, if you wanna put something out, then put it out, not for (money).
"We worked really hard at keeping [the wedding] private," the wiggy warbler adds. "I've always been this way, and he's always been this way, so that's why we complement each other. We always knew that it would be private and quiet, for all the right reasons."
If there's one thing Beyonce knows, it's that sometimes you have to keep things closely guarded.
And if the singer refuses to relent? Perhaps the tabloids can approach her alter-ego, Sasha Fierce, about striking a deal for the pics. That chick seems like she's open to just about anything.

Kanpur: Despite the shadow of the match-fixing scandal, the fourth Pepsi Cup Series One-day International cricket match between India and Zimbabwe at the Green Park Stadium here on December 11 is likely to be a profit earner.Expressing optimism at a press conference here on Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) Secretary Jyoti Bajpai said the scandal was unlikely to affect attendance at the stadium.It was evident from the Test matches and couple of One-dayers already played between India and Zimbabwe that the issue would not affect cricket's prospects. Welcoming the Board of Control for Cricket in India's decision of punishing tainted players former skipper Mohammad Azharuddin, Ajay Sharma, Manoj Prabhakar and Ajay Jadeja; the UPCA secretary, who also holds the post of joint secretary in the Board, said the BCCI's action would help wash away the blot the game had sustained as a result of the scandal. On the economic prospects of the match, Bajpai said the UPCA had been earning profits from Test matches and One-dayers held here during the past about eight years. The Association earned a net profit of about Rs 22 lakh in the last match, an international Test Engagement, played here last year. UNI

This item has been shown times.
Abraham Lincoln George Washington Vtg Pressed Wood Fiber Cut-out Wall Plaques:
Up for consideration is this vintage pair of very detailed high relief, compressed wood fiber, cut-out wall plaques of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. There are no maker mark or anything else to identify. As stated above in the Used Item section, hanging holes on both are damaged, there is some flaking to paint on both men, mostly Washington and there are nicks to the wood, noting that takes away from these wonderful vintage plaquesoftwo of the most famous Presidents in US History. They are oval in shape, each measuring 6-1/8" long, across center 4-1/2" wide and 1/4" at thickest. Please see all photos as they are part of the description.
*******Ido not meanto offend anyone, however, this has to be my policy, NO offerS ACCEPTED BY ANYONE WITHTwenty-five (25) or less in response rating, UNLESS PAYMENT IS MADE UPON sale ENDING or "Buy It Now", tired of no pays, sorry but more with25 or less inresponse have not paid or responded to my emails, then those that have. For all others, payment is due within 7 days of sale ending UNLESS you are offerding on other items I have for sale within a 7 day period to save on shipping if it is possible to combine items for shipping. PLEASE email to let me know should this be the case.
I am happy to COMBINE shipping when possible!
I do not charge a handling fee nor do I charge for boxes and packing material, the cost of shipping is AS CLOSE AS I CAN ESTIMATE WHAT THE ONCE PACKAGED WEIGHT is, I may be off on the actual cost for the weight, HOWEVER, please do not get upset if the actual cost is a little less since I do NOT charge for handling, boxes or packing material and have a 24 mile round trip to the post office to mail it out to you as well as being charged by Paypal for their service of collecting the funds for us sellers AND TAKING FUNDS OUT FOR NOT ONLY LISTING FEES, FINAL VALUATION FEES ( a percentage of the final selling price), they also TAKE MONEY FROM SELLERS FROM THE MAIL COST which is also a percentage. I do accept returns depending on the circumstances, buyers remorse is not one of them. It is the buyers responsibility to ASK and PAY for insurance because if you don't and it arrives broken I will not refund, that is the reason for insuring so the insurance covers your loss. I have a very high rating in my response and pack things very well, however, I have NO control over how it is handled once it leaves my possession. I have noticed lately that folks are giving me less than a 5* rating on the shipping cost and most of these I had to pay over and above what I was paid to mail it out, so please check what it cost to actually send before giving me less than 5*****, same with item description, everyone has been giving me response in text that says item as described, or how happy they are with it....I don't get it, possibly they are rating 1-5 on Item Description someone else's transaction? Please besure your leaving response for the correct sellerand if there is any problem whatsoever, PLEASE CONTACT ME, I strive to achieve a 5* rating on every transaction!

Yasaf - this is a nice combination of report and widget. I wish I were in a position to really use this. As it is, I am a lone IT Pro at a CPA firm so I can't fully use it. I did install and look at.

ls good working fine
one question, what is the dead ticket clasification, where is this being pulled from?
Dead ticket is a ticket that matches the following
- Open more than 21 days, and
- No updates made on the ticket for 7 days or more.
It is internal classification that matches our organization and it is pulled from the database using sql query.
I'm glad you like it.
Thanks for all the feedbacks so far.

Lawrie Dalman Consulting is an IT service provider.
Great idea Yasaf,
We've already downloaded both the report and plug-in and it seems to work well, it is certainly light and quick and sits in the Dashboard well with out pie graph of total tickets by Customer.
We are currently testing a slight mod to your work, to group the opens in the Management Overview by 'c_customer' which for us would be slightly more useful for a management overview.
We also have a status field on our tickets for tickets held up for one reason or another, in our environment we will probably also change the 'Dead Ticket' definition to Suspended tickets.
We might also do a little work to impliment a notification in the management overview when suspended tickets come due to be restarted.
Overall such a great concept, we really like it.
Thanks Yasaf.
Edit: Works beautifully to show open tickets per client and was very easy to test.
Really great work Yasaf.

Great add-on! Thanks Yasaf. Would love to also be able to report on dead tickets per user.
So next to the status column also have a dead ticket column. would this be hard to add to this plugin?

Tricia Saunders has long been considered the country's preeminent female wrestler.
And there is now an award named after her that's reemphasizes the Ahwatukee Foothills resident's place in the sport.
For the first time, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame & Museum honored female high school wrestlers with the inaugural Tricia Saunders High School Excellence Award.
The Saunders Award exactly mirrors the criteria of the Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award, which has been given annually since 1996.
Originally created in honor of Schultz, an Olympic and World champion, the High School Excellence Award is based on excellence in wrestling, scholastic achievement, citizenship and community service.
State winners for both the Schultz and Saunders Awards have been selected in each of the states that sponsor high school state championships.
Saunders was the first U.S. woman to win a World championship, winning four, and the first to be inducted as a Distinguished Member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
With 11 U.S. national titles, she never lost to an American opponent. She is considered to be the greatest women's wrestler in American history.
"From the time she was in elementary school wrestling at a very high level against male competition, Tricia Saunders has been a role model for female wrestlers," said Lee Roy Smith, Executive Director of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. "It is more than fitting that the High School Excellence Award for girls be named in her honor."
The initial winners are:
California - Marina Doi, Kingsburg High School
Hawaii - Shannon Pa'aaina, Mid-Pacific Institute
Oregon - Kiera Gabaldon, North Salem High School
Tennessee - Lyssa Maki, Northeast High School
Texas - Taylor Alva, Cypress Woods High School
Washington - Kiaya Van Scoyoc, Lakes High School

Welcome to KreationS!

Elaine Halterman on Apr 27, 2015
Just what I was looking for!
Jennifer Yaciw on Apr 5, 2015
Very nicely done! Excellent customer service!
Craft Obsession turned Craft Business
What started out as a scrapbook for a family member turned into handmade cards. From there we attended our first craft show that included lots paper crafts - greeting cards, paper mache letters and a few other items - hairbows, magnets, keychains! In the beginning we were known as Greetings by Sarah. Kaitlin was a huge help with the preparation of our first craft show. After the show we knew we wanted to team up to continue creating items.
We started trying new things and eventually had to change our name to better portray our items. KreationS was born. We have since focused on paper crafting and beading.
We tend to go through phases - sometimes we can't get enough of paper crafting and other times it is all about the beads! So you never know what we will create but you can count on us to try new things.
We sometimes spend more time looking at all the beautiful supplies available to us to create all the things we love than we do actually making them. Our craft "dungeon" as Sarah's husband likes to refer to the basement, is full of inspiration.
No matter what the day, our crafting has become a way to relax from our busy lives. We are happy that Etsy allows us to share what we love to do with others.

The World's First True Android PC
Powered by Remix OS, Remix Mini allows you to work and play with the entire Android app ecosystem while taking full advantage of intuitive PC features such as a taskbar, multiple window multi-tasking, mouse and keyboard support,
and so much more.
Size matters
But not in the traditional PC sense. While everyone else is spending top dollar for the latest and greatest hardware specs just to check their email and watch Youtube videos, we realized that there's SO much more to creating a great PC. Through its carefully engineered optimization of hardware and software, Remix Mini is able to undeniably live up to its motto: less can be more.
64-bits of effortless.
Remix Mini is powered by the latest 64-bit chipset and delivers up to 20-30% better performance than its 32-bit counterparts. At the core of what makes this so special is actually what Remix Mini doesn't need you to do. You will never have to worry about whether you're installing the right bit version ever again. With Android, it all just works.
Less energy, more efficiency.
The typical desktop computer clocks in at anywhere between 65 to 250 watts. Remix Mini gives you the same power of desktop computing at a mere 10 watts. By simply leveraging already existing power efficiencies found in mobile CPU architectures, Remix Mini is able to save you so much more in power without sacrificing anything in performance.
The power of touch.
Remix Mini features a capacitive touch power button unlike any PC of its kind. Rather than awkwardly feeling around the back panel for that elusive power button, just gently tap the top of your Mini. Within seconds you'll be able to start doing what you need to do.
Stay connected. In every way.
Even at its small size, Remix Mini comes equipped with everything you need in order to stay connected: WiFi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, and USB.
All of these options gives Remix Mini an unprecedented level of versatility in a variety of scenarios.
Your Mini. Your choice.
To whom much is given, much is expected. Remix Mini comes in two versions. Both run Remix OS smoothly, but vary depending on how you plan on using your Mini.As a home media center, the 1G RAM + 8 GB storage gives you more than what you need to stream and download that blockbuster movie you've been dying to see. Now, if you're looking for something with a bit more kick and productivity in mind, we highly recommend the 2G RAM + 16GB storage version. No matter what you decide, the choice will quite literally be in your hands.
Remix OS. Android re-engineered for PC.At the core of Remix Mini is our custom engineered version of Android Lollipop - Remix OS. Our state of the art operating system is the cornerstone to all of our hardware. With its multitude of productivity oriented features combined with over 1.6 million apps, Remix OS seamlessly merges functionality, ease of use, and beauty in amazing ways to give you an unforgettable Android experience.

Business executive turned fashion designer Amy Smilovic founded her women's clothing line Tibi in 1997 after moving to Hong Kong with her husband. The descendant of several artists, Smilovic applied her keen eye for color and innovative prints to designing a small collection of dresses inspired by her worldwide travels, and soon found a hit on her hands. Named after Smilovic's grandmother, Tibi now offers a full collection of high-end clothing as well as shoes, accessories, and swimwear. From seahorse-print string bikinis to solid-color one-piece bathing suits, Tibi's swimwear collection caters to women whose personal style embraces vibrant colors and surprising details. Smilovic's influences range from the beaches of Bali to the forests of New Zealand, and her experiences in those far-flung locales translate into a collection rich with feminine silhouettes that play with volume and texture. Tibi is now one of the hottest contemporary lines in the U.S., with a devoted following that includes celebrities like Michelle Williams, Heidi Klum, and Reese Witherspoon.
The last days of summer will feel that much sweeter with this array of lush separates and bold bikinis from perennial Gilt favorite Tibi—so why not indulge? There are equally lovely fall pieces in this roundup, too—like beaded and embroidered tops and dresses, silk halters, and gauzy shirtdresses.

Question about Dryers
Model no. 110.69812990
no heat
changed the element (3403585), thermo cut off (3399848), 250 thermostat (3399693), and thermal fuse (3392519).
Posted by donnaparker0 on
dryer runs but no heat kemmore11096060100
Many times it is not a problem with the dryer itself. Just as in automotive and housing, when no one thing can be pinned down, look for the simplest and least expensive fix first. This would include a look at the wall plug and the power cable.. Ensure the power is off first, then unplug the unit from the wall. Check first the 220 power recepticle, then inspect the cable and all connections for signs of blackening or burnouts. Repair/replace all blackened or burned wires and cables as needed. Often times, even a dirty connection will not allow electricity to flow.

Anyway. Moving on.
I'm deeply moved by design, aesthetics, all things sensory; I'll swoon over a great piece of art, furniture, architecture, music, film or a meal.
I often feel like I was born fifty years too late and not solely 'cuz of the sad advent of pantyhose; I get sentimental when I see a man tip his hat to a lady in a '40s film...just how I'm made. So, yeah, vintage...retro...mid-century modern ('45-'75) is my Happy Place...though I also know how to meld my deal with a lady who likes other stylish stuff with good genes. You can trust this professional. ; )
I'm a style-savvy smarty-pants, an uptown/downtown progressive with just a smidge of traditional for flava...a first amendment hawk who's sad about much of popular culture. A lifelong PBS/NPR junkie. I'm often aggravated/embarrassed by D. C./Madison Avenue/Hollywood but believe our society has goodness and higher purpose at its core: We're not Rome *quite* yet. Some heroes? Bobby Kennedy, Fred Rogers, Jimmy Carter, Bill Moyers, Bono, Robert Reich, Joseph Stiglitz, Paul Krugman, Kurt Vonnegut, Jon Stewart, Samantha Bee, Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes and Stephen Colbert.
I'm aware of new style trends but rarely subscribe: give me Astaire/Cooper/Grant /Brando classics any time (think Banana Republic). Exquisite/pricey things are fine but I also revel in a great vintage find; for me, aesthetic value beats a fancy pedigree. I love both cooking at home and dining out - usually healthy, never boring and hope for a wellness mentality in my mate. I live to learn, am also a teacher and long for that two-way dynamic with my sweetie. I'll make you laugh 'til the cows come home. Romantic to the core, I need the same from my beloved.
I enjoy the adventure of the marketplace, the arts fine/not-so-fine, exploring architecture and design, thrifting and yard sales, lectures, film including classics/foreign, travel, daily work-outs, reading and current events. Unlike your typical Jewish boy, I'm handy and look pretty studly in a tool belt. I may wanna see what YOU look like in it some time, though. ; ) I've had a few careers - among them interior designer, newspaper restaurant critic, art director - all verbiage and visuals stuff. Recently moved from Los Angeles back home to build an apparel/lifestyle brand and sure could use a muse. All told, I'm a sharp, fun, big-hearted lug whose fondest wish is to meld sublimely with one stylish, witty, substantive gal.
We have a Tracy/Hepburn vibe. Ok, it's trite but still, what a model! As for you? Be sweeTart...saucy...sassy...plucky yet unafraid to show some vulnerability. A coequal style/substance package. In re style, I hope you dig the modern and/or classic over glitzy, frou-frou or saccharine. A great shoe collection & regular pedicure - and manicure - gets my attention, I must say. Hey, I worship at the altar of She that is Woman and I do so head to toe: details matter.
In re substance, read a newspaper, be kind to animals & know that BOTH Beatles & Stones can rock. Healthy/-ish and active lifestyle preferred. Empathy, conversational skills, manners, wisdom, a dose of kink, HUMOR. Have a compelling viewpoint. Let's shoot for mutual adoration, accommodation and respect. Cuddle and watch classic films with me? Bonus points if you never use the word "party" as a verb. And please fully embody that mysterious and divine force which is Femininity. It keeps we men on our toes, acts as cosmic counterbalance to male idiocy and brutality and ideally smells really nice. I'm determined to find, pamper & treasure my Queen. Maybe she's You.
My Ideal Relationship: COMMUNICATION. I want to 'get' her, know what she's thinking or about to say and feel safe in telling her anything. Common politics as they bespeak mutual values. Shared hobbies/activities are glue which can make time pass with more fun and joy. Long talks. Travel. Power sharing (in and out of the bedroom) is huge for forging respect, intimacy and heat. Fighting fair. And as a Style Guy, I crave beauty and fine (which is not necessarily always *high-cost*) living with my beloved in a hip, livable home filled with art, food, family and friends.
Just kidding. But do yourself a favor and look for the song "Just Be Thankful" by William DeVaughn on YouTube. True soul genius.
I design and manufacture a vintage-inspired high-end greeting card line sold in better boutiques, museum stores, etc. I also sell vintage furniture and furnishings on eBay; check out my store (inthehouse2014) there. Also, I hope soon to be launching an imprinted apparel brand with a big social give-back mission which I'd like eventually to morph into a full-spectrum lifestyle label, a la Anthropologie.
Verbiage and visuals is who I am.
Throwing together something in the kitchen lickety-split.
Doing American regional and foreign accents; I also have a healthy barnyard animal repertoire. Hey, we could put on a show. ; )
Talking politics and current events (but also history, science, all sorts of Real World Stuff) with someone who enjoys same. That said, I can also go on and on about the dorky or esoteric. Just kick or kiss me to make it stop.
Blanket fort and flashlight play. Mebbe even s'mores if you're a good camper.
Building and fixing junk. Making something great out of next to nothing. I may even earn a forehead star from you.
Giving head rubs...hand rubs...back rubs...foot rubs...pretty much any kinda rubbin's.
I think I'm empathetic and a good listener.
I'm pretty sure I usually smell nice.

So, would it scare you to learn that I've seen lots of these flicks ten, twenty times -- some even thirty or fifty? Don't be scared. When I find something I like, I really want to get to know it better. Here, try the popcorn.
MORE WATCHIN': I'm an obnoxious TV snob in some ways. But I'll indulge you in terms of watching your show...while rubbing your feet and leafing through my magazine, paying semi-attention to Mama's stories. ("But wait," you say. "You only have two hands." "Never you mind that," I reply.) Some faves (current and in rerun) would be Son of Zorn, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Larry Sanders Show, Mad Men, Mr. Selfridge, Reno 911, Portlandia, Felt, Maron, American Pickers, the original Bob Newhart Show, Million Dollar Listing, Downton Abbey, Flipping Out, Strangers With Candy, Archer, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, Family Guy, Cosmos, The Andy Griffith Show (yes, sometimes corny, but often sweet), The Cleveland Show, Key & Peele, Robot Chicken & various Adult Swim shows, SCTV, The Nightly Show, The Daily Show, Davey & Goliath (yes, I know -- random), Space Ghost Coast to Coast, plus maybe the greatest thing ever when it's really good -- Mystery Science Theater 3000. Oh...and may our genius David Letterman R.I.P.
Anyway, who am I kidding? It's pretty much MSNBC politics 24/7 interrupted by vintage flicks on TCM.
I'm dying to see what Stephen Colbert does with the Letterman slot; S.C. has such an amazing mind, voice and writing team so this could be something really special. But I'm shedding copious tears for the demise of the Colbert "character"...one of the great artistic achievements of contemporary culture.
LISTENIN': Steely Dan, Beatles (George, since you asked), Neil Young, Dire Straits, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Who, Dave Matthews, Rolling Stones, Allman Brothers, REM, Clapton, The Doors, U2, Roxy Music's Avalon (Best. Make-out. Record. Ever.) Smashing Pumpkins, Fleet Foxes, Nirvana, Ella Fitzgerald, Jeff Buckley, Simon & Garfunkel, CSN, Pink Floyd, Joni Mitchell, Little Feat, Miles Davis, James Taylor, early Elton John, Letters To Cleo, Ray Charles, Elvis Costello, Dylan, John McLaughlin, Cat Stevens, Devo, Linda Ronstadt, Al Green, Grateful Dead, Pearl Jam, K. D. Lang, John Hiatt, Cream, Tori Amos, Sinatra, Hendrix, Santana, The Clarks, John Coltrane, Darlene Love yearly on Letterman singing "Christmas Baby Please Come Home", Pretenders, early Dionne Warwick, Ten Thousand Maniacs, Nat King Cole, Van Morrison, Aimee Mann, Ray Charles, Traffic, Throwing Muses, Patsy Cline, Chet Baker, Todd Rundgren, Roy Orbison, Laura Nyro, John Meyer, Brian Wilson's seminal Pet Sounds. Baroque horn/harpsichord stuff such as Bach...newer 20th century classical like Copland and Ives...Third World evocative stuff like Russian and Middle Eastern soundscapes -- melodies that transport you.
I'm also a drummer but have no drums at present. Your-thigh-in-the-car may get an occasional gentle thwap. What? You never fancied yourself a sex cymbal?
EATIN': I was once the restaurant critic for In Pittsburgh Newsweekly (City Paper's predecessor) and also have a culinary management degree obtained later in life so I guess I know my way around the chow somewhat. I'm also comfy in the kitchen and adore makin' bacon with my Honey. Dining out is fun too, of course, but I probably cook dinner 4-5 nights a week. Tag-teaming such could be neat or I'm happy to shoulder that load for the team. Ethnic cuisines rock my world most of all, followed by standard American fare of all sorts and then nouvelle, hifalutin stylings -- in that order. Fortunate to have lived in Manhattan, Los Angeles and Seattle so have tasted one helluva lotta cultures. Faves? Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Middle Eastern/Greek/Turkish, Persian, Ethiopian, Sushi, North African, Afghani, Korean, Italian of course (eggplant parm = swoon). I love seafood as well as sushi. While I do usually try to eat healthfully, classic American road food and regional fare on occasion is fun such as BBQ, Neapolitan (crazy for wood- and coal-fired ovens) pizza, cheese steaks, excellent dogs and burgers, great deli fare, fried seafood or a lobster roll and on and on. I could watch "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" any time (Yay, food porn!) though Guy is kind of a putz. Great eating experiences do not have to be fancy-shmancy, by any means, but quality ingredients and deft preparation are key. I *do* also have something of a sweet tooth but we ain't goin' there just now. Okay, fine: mocha ANYTHING. And blissful blueberries.
Burt's Bees lip balm from October thru April. And still I pick at the lips. Please. Make me stop. Withhold kisses. Whatever it takes.
Sriracha. If you don't know what this is, we may be ill-fated.
Dr. Bronner's liquid Castille soap; eucalyptus is my go-to but another scent is negotiable (perhaps almond) if eucalyptus squicks you out.
Filtered or bottled water, please. Chlorine and PCB's? Ummmm...mebbe not.
Lotsa daily veggies and fruits. I build my meals around them. Not that I don't enjoy the tasty creatures as well.
The perfect down/feather-blend pillow. Daddy needs his sleep.
Lucky Number Seven: Neutral colors. (Yes, I cheated; obviously I'm a rebel who lives on the edge.)
I wish I could be as heroic and selfless as many great people I've encountered in the world. I'm workin' on it.
Well. Sex. Sure. But much more than 'sex' even, romance and, the fates willing, Love in my life. I have much to offer and hope to experience the sublime with my She.
Lots more stuff. We need junk to talk about on the first date. And our 501st date.
That's *not* what I meant. Well. Mostly, anyway.
You're naughty.
...you prize the inherent value in people/places/things over their pedigree.
...you know how, where and when to be either charmingly Screw-da-Man irreverent or old-school courteous, both being equally important skills depending on the setting. You don't suffer fools gladly or bow to sacred cows.
...you delight in wondrous things.
...you're dying to experience my barnyard animal repertoire up close and personal.
Good luck to you in your search for happiness and fulfillment!

California Online Poker Guide 2017
California is among the more progressive states when it comes to real money gambling laws in the U.S.
The golden state has legal pari-mutuel betting, a state lottery offering huge prizes, and a large number of Native American casinos on tribal land that offer real cash gaming to residents and visitors to the state. Real money card games are also permitted, providing the card rooms obtain a license and adhere to state regulations [1].
California is also among a group of states that are actively considering legalizing real money online gambling. Certain key influencers in CA are pushing hard to get a bill through that would see the state become the fourth to legalize online gambling, following in the wake of Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware.
Get to grips with all this below:
- Online poker options in CA
- California's online gambling laws
- How to make your first poker deposit
- Recent CA online poker developments
What's on
this page?
Online Gambling Law in California
As things stand right now, California is yet to legalize online gambling for real cash. That being said, we can't find any evidence to suggest those who access online casinos from the state might be prosecuted for doing so.
We would always suggest consulting with a legal expert before proceeding, but with California engaged in serious debate as whether to make online real cash gambling fully legal, the state is clearly a long way from having an aggressive stance against those who participate.
We can find no specific reference to online gambling in California law, but it's certainly worth bearing in mind that only licensed establishments in the state are allowed to offer real money gambling. With no licenses being granted to online casinos, it is therefore illegal for the sites in question to offer real money play.
Can Players from California Play Online Poker?
Real money online poker is readily available to California residents, and there are a huge number of sites available for those in the state who want to play. Approved deposit and withdrawal methods will differ from site to site, but CA players should find it relatively easy to get set up and start playing.
Is playing online poker legal in California? Strictly speaking no, as the state is yet to license a single website to offer real money poker online.
Are you likely to be prosecuted for playing online poker from California? The anecdotal evidence would strongly suggest not, though as ever we would advise you consult with a legal professional to clarify the situation and gain a more detailed understanding.
Recent Developments
There are currently two bills in progress that seek to legalize online poker in California [2].
The most recent, AB 167, was introduced by Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer. It outlines a million license fee for providers and a four-year license term for companies that are approved to operate real money online poker in California. Each approved site would be allowed to have poker for real cash available on two separate websites.
AB 167 does not include a "bad actor" clause, which would have ruled out licenses for any establishment that has previously been found foul of acting against the law.
Such is the hope for the bill being passed that PokerStars have already agreed partnerships with several big card rooms and the Morongo Band of Mission Indians [3]. They are now in place to serve as the real money online poker provider for a number of huge operations.
There remains some strong opposition to a real money online poker bill in California, however, with the fight set to continue in 2017 .
The Facts
As things stand, California has several options when it comes to regulated real money gambling, as follows:
- Pari-mutuel betting at racetracks
- Card games at license card rooms
- Charitable betting
- Playing the California state lottery
Legalized online gambling is very much up for discussion and could well follow in the very near future for the state of California.
The History of Gambling in California
Gambling in California exploded around the time of the Gold Rush [3]. San Francisco became a huge gambling hot spot and punters flocked to the west coast to gamble at both licensed and unlicensed premises in the golden state.
A crackdown followed, but real cash gambling returned with a vengeance following the great depression in California. Licenses were handed out and once again crowds flocked to CA to indulge in whatever form of real money gambling they could come upon.
The tide then turned once again and where we are now is somewhere in the political middle in California. Regulated legal gambling for real cash is available to CA residents, but there are no commercial casinos other than those on tribal land.
Regulated Gambling Options in California
Regulated legal gambling in California amounts to pari-mutuel betting on horses and dogs, playing the state lottery or visiting one of the many Tribal-owned casinos in the state to play for real cash.
The Future of Regulated Online Gambling in California
We should expect California to continue the discussion on legalizing online gambling in 2017 and beyond. If a bill gets passed to legalize real money online poker, CA could well expand the conversation to other areas.
The Bottom Line
California is not a bad place to be if you're in the market for real cash gambling. There are already good regulated options available and the current political climate suggests more will be added in due course.
When it comes to online gambling, there is yet to be a law passed that makes it fully legal in the state. That being said, there is little or no evidence to suggest a CA resident partaking in real money online gambling will be prosecuted.
Always consult a legal professional for qualified advice.

I don't like most books about leadership technique. Never have.
Whether it's the 21 Laws of This or That, or 5 Steps to a Whatever, I find these kinds of books to be mechanical, corporate, and not much use.
However, knowing that this is a personal blind spot, I still try to read at least one book about leadership each year. Over the years I've read – believe it or not – some good ones. So, here's a list of five good books about leadership for people who don't like books about leadership (in no particular order)… Continue reading

The Best Way To Find The Perfect Cutting Knife For Your Own Use Or Family
Every person ought to have at least one razor-sharp knife. The majority of people will need to have multiple. No matter if you just make use of your knives in the kitchen or even for camping, chances are you'll require a couple. If you're shopping for cutting knives, quality is definitely much more significant than amount. It's crucial to actually start by using a trusted maker when you need a good quality blade.
The very best businesses understand their clientele and make an effort to generate the most beneficial goods for the task. Working with a highly skilled manufacturer will ensure you select the best goods. As an example, when buying a household knife, you must begin with what you intend to cut. A few cutlery are particularly intended for slicing fresh vegetables and some are best for preparing meat.
kershaw are created in a range of designs thus buyers can get all of their chopping utensils from the same business. This may cause the searching procedure a great deal easier and makes it possible for everybody that must have a completely new cutting knife to look right to exactly where they are aware they will obtain the very best quality product as well as fantastic customer care.
Regardless of whether you happen to be shopping for you or perhaps for a family member, working with Benchmade, a business that has the business knowledge and experience to pair each and every client with the right products will ensure you receive exactly whatever you require.
