IOC Chair, Carl Lomas,
Qualifications are key to our sector, both for compliance and future workforce, from driver front line to management. The IOC have been working closely with FE colleges, Universities, LEPs and BIS
IOC has two key qualification routes, management & delivery. For management, IOC is working with Derby University & London Met University to develop the first ever undergraduate degree dedicated to our sector. For delivery teams IOC are looking at the apprenticeship replacement qualifications with work on an apprenticeship trailblazer for same day and home delivery couriers. The 'Courier Trailblazer' was a phase three application and evolved into 'Trailblazer Express Delivery', the standard submitted to BIS for Nov 26th 2015, a framework for delivery is in development. Employer support came from APC to Yodel, nationals from UK Mail to SMEs such as Swift in Liverpool and Rush in London. Awarding bodies supporting are Pearson Edexcell and City & Guilds. IOC attends the AELP (association of education and learning provider) sector meetings.
The sector is unique with extensive compliance training and testing, from hazardous goods handling to licence. Driver shortage issues are log jammed around test centres with 12 week diaries for tests (2015). The LEP 2016 European funding may be the next solution to needs around support for the next generation of workforce. The schools message for the next generation is key, taking the message of our sector as a career path. IOC have worked very closely with FE, from West Thames College GTA at Heathrow to Buxton & Leek with their Skillbase driver training centre in the homeland of Sec of State for transport Patrick Mcloughlin.
Copies of sector-relevant standards and qualification documents, including those authored by IoC and other external bodies can be found in the IoC Standards Archive.
IoC is also active in the Education & Training Foundation's Two-Way Street leadership exchange programme - for more details go here

September 1st news - Menzies Distribution deal to acquire Gnewt Cargo.
London-based Gnewt operated by IoC fellow Sam Clarke runs more than a hundred electric vehicles in the City of London from arches in SE1.
Gnewt, which was founded in 2008, provides final-mile delivery services in central London for retailers, e-tailers and parcel carriers such as Hermes and TNT.
Last year, it made over 3 million deliveries in London using the UK's largest all-electric fleet of commercial vehicles.
A pre-peak commitment to client with 45% more parcel capacity on the Hermes network. Rugby looks set to raise the bar once more as e-retail takes further High Street numbers to home delivery.
Hermes UK boss, Carole Woodhead,
This is the largest parcel hub of its kind in the UK. We are extremely proud to officially open our Midlands super hub.
DHL is investing more than twenty million on three new sites - two are opening in November at Aberdeen and Milton Keynes, but the first is in October at Enfield.
Peter Fuller comments,
This investment in key sites is part of our strategic growth plan for the business. We've recently been awarded some major new contracts and we have ambitious targets to continue on this trajectory. To be successful we need to invest in the most effective infrastructure and equipment for our people to increase parcel handling capacity.
Trailblazer employer group chairs teamed up for Lindsay McCurdy's national levy conference at Coventry. Much talk of deadlines and availability of end-point assessments.
Carl Lomas, 'Express level 2 delivery operative still awaits final editorial clearance, the news may be any day.'
All-in logistics theme, passenger transport, waste management and education from Jo North.
The conference was driven by providers and delivered a wealth of information for employers; how to match employer size to provider size, scale up and work with the digital accounts from levy payments.
Bob Holt CEO DX hands over to Ron Series mid August.
In the same week, DX and John Menzies have terminated talks on merger. 'It was not possible to agree suitable terms for the deal.'
DX shareholder Gatemore, Liad Meidar,
Bob Holt's stewardship of the company throughout a challenging period and believe that the board arrived at the right conclusion with the Menzies transaction. We strongly believe that with leading positions in document exchange, secure delivery and IDW freight, DX is well positioned to thrive as a stand-alone basis.

In Reply to: Re: Some Thoughts posted by Wendel Swan on July 26, 1999 at 07:43:54:
: Dear Sophia,
: Thank you for the comments. I am quite certain that this rug is not Kurdish.
: Unfortunately, when faced with a plethora of weavings without "Schurrmann-esque" labels, we often revert to suggesting Kurdish. Because the Kurds wove so many different designs and with such diverse structures, "Kurdish" often becomes, erroneously, an attribution by default.
: Similarly, "Shahsavan" is often applied by default to geometric weaving (including pile rugs) with animals or human figures. Ebay, for example, currently abounds with Shahsavan attributions, some of which are blatantly incorrect.
: I have very carefully avoided an attribution because I believe that, in the end, none can be certain. While this rug has some attributes of what I believe are Shahsavan, some aspects (particularly the border) give me pause.
: In the spirit of shameless self-promotion, I will say that I am speaking at ICOC in Italy on the topic of Shahsavan pile weaving and that the images in this Salon will be a part of my paper. Therefore, constructive criticism is most welcome.
: Wendel
Dear Sophia and Wendel:
Though there are some extremely old Kurdish rugs with cotton wefts and wool warps, I agree with Wendel that this rug is not Kurdish. The selvedge Sophia descibes is probably not original
and not what I associate with Kurds. Cotton warps and wefts are not associated with traditional kurdish weavings in my experience. Cotton is more common in Shahsavan weavings including the designs found in the subject rug when worked in flatweaves, for example the mafrash side panel and other examples like it.
Kind regards, Michael

who are being investigated over the alleged cocaine smuggling. That's not acceptable for us. Conwell's criminal contact is Michael Hurley, who's on the run from police and alleged to be one of the Mr Bigs behind the multimillion-dollar smuggling ring that imported drugs by corrupting Qantas baggage handlers. Their corrupt links said to go back more than 20 years. As a senior Qantas manager, he was well aware of the intensive Crime Commission operation at the airport to catch the cocaine smugglers. Ten News has learned Conwell was being bribed by Hurley to tip him off about the investigation into drug trafficking at the airport and to point the out which passengers arriving from overseas were on the Customs watch list as suspected drug couriers.

Six months jail tonight for a Sydney man convicted of horrendous cruelty to animals. The dogs he kept were so hungry and malnourished, they turned on each other. This is the man responsible for a horrific case of animal neglect. Adam Sirghon's rented home resembled a zoo - chickens, ducks, goats and 14 dogs running wild in the back yard. Today, he's faced court on 29 charges of animal cruelty. A court's heard how it was a case of survival of the fittest for the canines, forced to fight each other for the few bones and off-cuts tossed over the fence. Their drinking water was putrid. There was virtually no shelter. These photos show a young female boxer receiving treatment. It was mauled so badly by the dog pack, it couldn't stand up. According to the magistrate: Another was the victim of repeated dogfights, 50 bite marks over its body. Four of the pets were put down. Sirghon says the dogs belonged to his estranged de facto. But the magistrate said the dogs were so hungry they ripped apart a kitten which had wandered into the back yard. All that was left of the animal was a leg and part of its tail. There are obligations on a person in charge of an animal, they don't necessarily have to be the owner. Sirghon's been jailed for at least six months and fined more than $27,000. They were dumped in his back yard. They were dumped and he is a Samaritan. Sirghon has lodged an immediate appeal. Shaun Fewings, Ten News. The family bought the high-performance Mercedes A horrifying ordeal for a Sydney family as armed thieves carjacked their $200,000 luxury Mercedes. The masked duo threatening to shoot the driver if he refused to hand over the keys. The family bought the high-performance Mercedes just six months ago. But today, this is all that's left of Simon's luxury car after what police say was a carefully planned sting. Two balaclava-clad men slipped under the garage door as Simon parked the Mercedes around 11:00 last night. One man, armed with a hammer, set upon the car. He threatened to shoot Simon, while the other man raced into the house, forcing the family to lie on the ground, threatening two women with a truncheon. Well, you just don't know. They're crazy people. You don't know what they're going to do. The thieves became anxious when the garage door would not open. And the guy with me became very agitated and shouted at me, "When things go wrong, that's when people get hurt!" The thieves were only interested in the car, taking nothing else from the house except their mobile phones to stop them calling police. While police believe this car may eventually be sold overseas, it's most likely still in Sydney now, so they're appealing for anyone who spots this particularly rare type of Mercedes to report it to police. The stolen silver Mercedes has registration plates ARL-24E. Police fear carjackings are becoming more common as thieves look for a way to get around improved anti-theft devices where cars are virtually dead when the engine is switched off. Evan Batten, Ten News. Still to come - Bob Carr reopens the nuclear power debate. Also tonight - new superbug cases. Why some bacteria in Sydney hospitals could soon be untreatable. And league pin-up boy Sonny Bill's white-hot new look. We'll have that story later this newshour.
This program is captioned live. A man accused of the bag-snatching incident that led to last year's Redfern riots has been found not guilty by a jury. Police had been out hunting for the attacker, when they spotted teenager TJ Hickey fleeing the area. This is the security camera vision police viewed shortly before the notorious TJ Hickey chase began. A vicious bag snatching incident at Redfern on Valentine's Day last year. The victim, Lee Lew, injured when she was dragged onto the road trying to defend herself. Patrols were alerted and a search for the culprit began. That's when teenager TJ sped past on his bike and police followed, checking if he was their man. It ended in tragedy when TJ's bike crashed, flipping the boy onto a metal fence and killing him. His death triggering the country's worst race riots in recent history, with locals convinced police had chased TJ without reason. Within months, police arrested Christopher Carr and charged him with two counts of robbery and one of malicious wounding. But today, after less than four hours deliberation, a jury acquitted him. The Crown had based their case on the security tape, but the defence pointed out the jury would have to be convinced beyond reasonable doubt that the man in that vision was Mr Carr. And in the end they weren't. Mr Carr's family delighted by the result. What do you think about it? I can't make a comment on that. Mr Carr remains in custody with other charges pending, including one relating to another bag snatching incident. Amber Muir, Ten News. A second Sydney hospital has quarantined five patients, who've contracted yet another superbug. It comes just 24 hours after 6 patients were isolated with a potentially deadly bacteria at Royal North Shore. Hygiene standards at yet another major Sydney hospital have been stepped up after a bacterial outbreak forced another five patients to be quarantined and the entire intensive care department to be screened. Three of them were in the intensive care unit at the same time. That automatically tells us we need to check if all our infection control procedures are working well. Called MRAB, the bug is different to the one discovered at Royal North Shore Hospital, but poor hygiene by hospital staff is likely to have spread both. Patients should not experience any symptoms but, in extremely rare case, the antibiotic-resistant bacteria has caused death. It attacks only the very sick. The important thing to remember so that if people are using normal toilet facilities and practising normal hygiene procedures like washing hands, this should not be transmitted. What's concerning doctors is that, on a worldwide scale, superbugs resistant to antibiotics are developing at a rapid rate.
While at the moment most are still treatable, experts warn we're not far off the day when we see a superbug that will not respond to any of our antibiotics. Some doctors want regular screening amid criticism these outbreaks don't have to be reported to health authorities. But the Department denies hospital hygiene is slipping, claiming our infection rates are similar to other countries. If anything, I think post-SARS and concern about influenza, people are much more aware than they were of the importance of hospital control and hand-washing, et cetera. Jacinta Hocking, Ten News. Nuclear energy is back on the agenda, with the Premier describing its demise as premature. Bob Carr wants a debate on its benefits because of the environmental damage caused by coal power. The second nuclear reactor ever built in Australia is nearing completion at Lucas Heights. Costing $330 million, it will be used for research, not power - Australia has in fact never had a nuclear power plant. But the Premier says that might change. The winding back of nuclear power looks premature given the fact that coal-based electricity is melting the polar ice caps and causing enormous environmental grief across the planet. He wants the issue debated before committing either way but says other energy sources, like wind and solar, aren't yet viable. His federal colleagues don't support the concept but Australia's top nuclear science body does. We believe that nuclear power is one of these technologies that needs to be looked at as part of the whole mix of energy supply. There's no plans to build any nuclear power reactors just yet. The Premier wants comprehensive studies into their safety and also the disposal of nuclear waste. Opponents say it would be a ticking time bomb, another Chernobyl waiting to happen. Our Premier would be showing much better leadership if he got on with solving the problem of creating energy through wind and solar power. You could have a wind farm across all of outback NSW - it'd kill every kookaburra, but it wouldn't provide the base-load power we need. Dan Nolan, Ten News. Why do you bother coming in Why do you bother coming in ? I haven't had much to do for around a month now apart from saying fine and sunny and 20 degrees. They still pay me the big bucks and I've seen how little Ron Wilson does so it's a fair deal. What a brilliant day today. Unfortunately we're running out of water. No rainfall on the radar at the moment for the next seven days. In fact, the forecast is fine and sunny and 20 degrees for the next week. Skywatch - that was fine and sunny and 20 degrees. I sound like a broken record but I'm here to tell it as it is. Currently, 17 degrees. Pollution low everywhere. The 7-day forecast, I can use one other word - fog on Saturday. That's it. See you again in around about 10. Next in the 5:00 News - why sending text messages at the wheel is as dangerous as drink-driving. And saving the whales - the race to rescue dozens of the stranded sea creatures.
This program is captioned live. Time for a check with Vic Lorusso on the Mix traffic helicopter. Things are very crowded around the airport. What's going on? Unfortunately the M5 east was closed for an hour this afternoon after a major accident in the tunnel. You can see the runways . Absolutely jamp packed going to the south-west. The delays go back Paris Moore Park into the CBD. If you're heading for the south-west, avoid the airport and M5. A desperate race is on to save up to 150 whales stranded off WA's south-west coast. Volunteers took to the water after the false killer whales beached themselves early this morning. Despite the massive effort, rough seas and a receding tide have hampered rescue attempts. They're large animals, they're weighty, they're difficult to move around, so we're needing more machinery and stuff to deal with those. Fears are held for the condition of the whales, with many now ill and distressed. At least one has died. Rescuers are preparing for a bitter cold night. There will be a fresh attempt to push the whales out to sea tomorrow. Calls for tougher penalties for drivers who SMS at the wheel. They follow staggering research that shows text driving is as dangerous as drink-driving. It's something we've suspected for some time - SMS messaging and driving just don't mix. Now, research on a Monash University simulator proves it. 20 inexperienced drivers, aged from 18 to 21, are put through their SMS paces in the first experiment of its type in the world, and fail dismally. The fact is that it's illegal and the results of this research show that it's very, very dangerous. The report found drivers who SMS: The Monash research declared SMS driving to be just as dangerous as low-range drink-driving. Clearly the penalties have to be the same - loss of licence. Current penalties include fines and loss of demerit points. The drivers involved in the test admitted their performance had been impaired but they were prepared to take that risk. It's partly about a penalty and it's partly about educating them about the dangers of what they're doing. But mobile phones aren't the only driving distraction - researchers point to billboards, car navigation aids and DVDs. Paul Mullins, Ten News. A mass protest in the State's north-west today. Gunnedah residents angered by Government plans which they claim could make the place a permanent ghost town. It wasn't business as usual in the State's north-west. There was silence in Gunnedah's streets, local shop owners walking out of their stores en masse. And the town's 60-year-old mill also came to a grinding halt. 2,500 residents together in a David and Goliath battle against the State Government over its latest forest rezoning. Today Gunnedah again, together with our friends from neighbouring communities, comes together to highlight to the Government that enough is enough. APPLAUSE The plan would see up to 100 jobs axed. The reality too much for some. Our turnover last year was $650,000. We spent over $78,000 on raw material from Gunnedah and other areas. Despite the desperate plea, Premier Carr shows no sign of backing down. We're restructuring an industry to save the western woodlands and all the species which exist there. Ebbeny Faranda, Ten News. Still to come - the new discount deal that could save you plenty at the petrol pump. Also tonight - sliding away. The natural disaster that's left hundreds of millionaires homeless. And the love affair that's still going strong after 80 years. What's the secret of our long, happy married life? They'll share it, later this news hour.
This program is captioned live. Time for another check of the weather. Tim Bailey, Ron was saying he doesn't think you do too much, but I think you do plenty, you brighten up our days. Send that to the boss, thank you very much. Another endless blue sky that looks like it will continue for another fort night. It's incredible how dry things are. 20 degrees tomorrow and no rain at all. We do have some fog around Saturday morning as temperatures drop down a bit. Can you believe the snow season starts one week from today? They're
not even making as much snow as they can because they haven't got the water. The drought is putting its stamp on everything. I'll see you at 5:55. Multimillion-dollar homes have been destroyed in a devastating landslide at California's Laguna Beach. More than a thousand residents have had to flee with many more houses still at risk. The landslide turned millionaire's row into a disaster zone. Residents reported hearing popping sounds just before the hillside let go. Many had just woken when they had to run for their lives. And we could hear this house collapsing behind us, sinking in, and I guess the driveway moved 200 feet as we were running down it but we didn't have a choice. We had to get out. It was crackin' and crunchin' and I walked outside and I knew right away. I had my wife run our kids down the hill in their underwear. As they ran to safety, their houses crashed down behind them. 18 multimillion-dollar homes were destroyed. Some made it to the bottom intact, others split in two. A God-awful cracking noise and I couldn't get any water or electricity so I stepped out on the roof and I just watched this house implode. With up to 20 mansions still teetering on collapse and the hillside continuing to move, authorities have evacuated 350 surrounding houses, leaving 1,000 people homeless tonight. It's not the first time disaster has hit the area. Almost 10 years ago, heavy rain triggered another slide which killed two people and damaged 300 homes. Incredibly, everyone escaped with only frayed nerves and minor injuries. I got out safe. That's all I care about right now. Geologists have moved on site as rescue crews carry out a final sweep to make sure no-one is trapped. It's dangerous up there. There are men and women working up there as the ground and moving. Anxious home owners just want to return to recover what's left. In Laguna Beach, California, Leisa Goddard-Roles, Ten News. The Australian share market continued its rebound today.
To CommSec now, and Donohue D'Souza. And our share market's still finding plenty of support. It was a cracker, Ron. The market supported by increased optimism and confidence. The rally on wall Street helped. Investors not spooked by the 5% rise in crude oil prices. The interesting thing is the share market turned around so fast. I have one bone to pick with you, oil prices up again? Motorists, just when they thought they were in the clear, oil prices are hounting us. In the last few days, oil prices up $7.50. Petrol will rise by 1 cent, to be prepared about pay 7.5 cents. We could have to pay more at the pump. If only I could remember to use the fuel vouchers, I'd be alright. Small retailers are joining independent service station operators to take on the major retail chains. They've launched their own discount scheme in a fight for survival. As a stand-alone operator, Jim Nezeritis believes his business would be doomed. However, he's become one of the first independents in Victoria to sign up to a national discount fuel scheme designed to counter the docket discounts offered by the major retail chains. Money's going only one way - to Coles, Safeways - and nothing for us. If it keeps going, I'll be out of business within 12 months. A survey by the Australian Automobile Association has found the use of discount shopping dockets has increased from 50% to 70% in two years. Under the Beepp scheme, small retailers set their own targets for customers to earn dollar vouchers which can be spent on fuel or other goods at independent service stations. The aim of the program is to give a bit of business back to the shopping strips and to draw the customers back into the independent businesses. The biggest player in the discount fuel game, Coles Myer, believes it still has the upper hand - 700 retail outlets and 600 service stations nationwide giving it strength in numbers. While some independent service stations persist with their own discount offers, over 500 businesses in Australia have paid several hundred dollars each to join forces. I need it to work and I believe it will work and I think this is my last chance for me to survive. Cameron Baud, Ten News. Sport with Tim Wester. Some good news for rugby league fans. Yes, Jessica, Braith Anasta has decided not to defect to union. And Sonny Bill Williams as you've never seen him before - why he's changed his look. And Australia's biggest sporting airlift - the incredible logistics of moving the V8s to China .
This program is captioned live. After a month of speculation Bulldogs five-eight Braith Anasta has decided to stay in rugby league. The fear of switching and not making it in union was a key factor. A family meeting last night relieved Braith Anasta of a month's worth of stress and indecision because the Bulldogs star realised he has unfulfilled ambitions in league. I had lot more to offer to rugby league and probably haven't achieved as much as I would have liked to. If I had gone to union. I probably wouldn't have been happy with what I've done in the game. I've worked hard to get where I have in league. Anasta was close to switching codes but he admits a fear of failure was also a concern. I'm just starting to get over that expectation thing in league, and to step straight back into that in union was a bit of a factor too. He now will focus on league long term but Anasta is adamant he didn't use union to milk more money. Despite the speculation, Braith Anasta might throw himself onto the open market after June 30 and find out about interest from Canberra Souths and the Roosters. There's now every likelihood he'll remain with the Bulldogs. Anasta will begin immediate talks with the Bulldogs, who have already offered him $300,000 per season. Bulldogs will always be my first preference and I'll give them all the respect I can. I really respect them as a club. They'll always have the first and final say for me. Anasta's Bulldogs team-mate - if you can recognise him with the mohawk - and Bulldogs pup Sonny Bill Williams featuring in a $3 million advertising campaign. While he'll enjoy a massive profile with his image plastered across 50 billboards and 5,000 bus stops nationwide, he's braced to be the butt of many jokes from his team-mates. Tony Peters, Ten News. Queensland fullback Chris Latham was in shock after he took out the Australian Super 12 Player of the Year award last night. The Reds' custodian won the award for a record fourth time despite a disastrous season for Queensland. Latham edged out Brumbies star George Smith by one vote. I'm just very honoured. I mean, George Smith puts in week in, week out and I definitely would have and I definitely would have backed him in even from the start. I am just very surprised and probably a little bit lost for words so, yeah, very happy. Sorry. Waratahs winger Peter Hewat celebrated a fine debut season with the Rookie of the Year and People's Choice awards, while Ewen McKenzie was named Coach of the Year. The selectors' axe has swung at the Sydney Swans - four players dropped for Saturday's match against Carlton in Melbourne. Paul Bevan has been left out for the first time in his 34-game career along with Adam Schnieder, Matthew Nicks and Jason Saddington. The Swans have brought back sharpshooter Nick Davis after a hamstring injury and have named midfielder Nick Malceski for his first game. It's amazing. I've been at the club and last year I had an injury and put me out all year. It's a relief. Veteran defender Andrew Schauble makes his return, along with recruit David Spriggs. Veteran boxing trainer Johnny Lewis says world champion Kostya Tszyu is hungrier than ever and ready to punish England's Ricky Hatton when they fight on Sunday. The British media had their first glimpse of the Aussie great and he put on a show. Flanked by half a dozen bodyguards, Kostya Tszyu looked more like a Russian politician than an adopted Aussie boxer. But he was determined the 80-strong media scrum didn't mistake him for something else. Guys, you mistaken me. I'm not a movie star. I'm an athlete. Tszyu faces one of his biggest challenges in English hero Ricky Hatton. And he's mentally prepared for the sights and sounds of fighting at 2am in front of a mad Hatton crowd. I'm coming into the ring in a tunnel, a tunnel that is blocking every noise. It doesn't matter what's happening around, really doesn't matter. In the ring, three of us only. Apart from their desire to win the fight, Tszyu said he an Hatton are also bound by pressure and the result could be decided by who handles it best. It's pressure for everybody. Pressure on me because I'm world champion defending fight against a great, undefeated fighter. Pressure on Ricky Hatton in front of his fans and first big world title fight. After a golden reign stretching back to 1991, the pragmatic pugilist made it clear he realises he is getting to the wrong end of his career, but Kostya made it clear Hatton shouldn't delight in that. Every single athlete, good athlete, has to finish his finish line. I think my finish line is in front of me. I can't see it. Maybe it's one corner away, maybe two corners, maybe three corners. I don't know. Daniel Lane, Ten News. Australian pace duo Glenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie have moved a step closer to calling themselves Test all-rounders. Now both the one-time batting bunnies can boast a bat sponsorship. The pair providing areguably the highlight of last summer when they made debut half-centuries against the Kiwis. We don't have a lot to hang our hats on with the bat so we've been milking it for all its worth. The team photo out of the way, the players had their final pre-Ashes training session this morning before flying out on Saturday. The V8s have begun their biggest international journey. At a cost of more than $2 million, 32 race cars and 50 tonnes of gear are set to wing their way to China for Round 5 of the series next weekend. The V8 travelling circus is packing up and on the move - direct from Avalon, bound for Shanghai. Everything else we have done to this point has been for Formula One, MotoGP, Champ Cars, World Superbikes - all overseas operations. This is an all-Australian operation, so we're proud of that. It's a logistical nightmare for the 19 race teams. Their cars squeezed together on bunk beds, their gear jammed into 2.5-tonne containers filled to the top with as many spare engines, gear boxes and wheels as possible. It's a bit tricky, making use of all the available space, but with a bit of prior planning and just having everything organised and whatnot, it's come together quite easily. The Chinese touch isn't a subtle one. Liveries have changed across the board, a Buick is in the field. There's no Betta Electrical stores in China so Lowndesey's paint scheme is all new and driver names will feature in both languages. I'm very fluent in Chinese, Tim. Looking good for going over there, not a drama in the world. I should be able to get along with the locals very sweetly. The first of two Boeing 747s leaves tomorrow night. Tim Hodges, Ten News. Later on Sports Tonight with Leigh Diffey we talk to Wallaby Mat Rogers and will have the women's singles semifin als at the French Open. Back to Vic Lorusso on the Mix traffic helicopter. How's it looking? It's really heavy for traffic getting out of the city and heading towards the south-west the M5 east was closed. Now we're showing you the M5 at Bankstown. This is the traffic still trying to get home after being stuck in the tunnel. The tunnel has reopened but it's going to be a very long drive home in towards Campbelltown. The only way to avoid that would be to go by the Hume Highway . Elsewhere, the M2 has struggled after a smash at the tolls. Tim Bailey's weather after the break.

The award was for coverage of the Redfern riots and the story of TJ Hickey, the boy whose death sparked the clash between police and locals. It was put together by reporter Amber Muir. Onto the weather. Tim Bailey, speak ecof television magic, I know you'll sproi us some. You'll turn the words fine and sunny into four minutes of television? That's my mission. Congratulations, Amber Muir, great job, pleasure to work with you. CNN awards don't come along every day of the week. I love doing the weather at Darling Harbour. There are people everywhere, a few of them get in front of the camera and you never know who you might recognise, who you might not recognise. This is a true story. This is the Porter family who came into Darling Harbour tonight for a 32nd wedding anniversary. Congratulations. That's 120 power bills. You're taking her out for dinner. I'll probably get a good deal for it. Nick off, you have other things on your mind. Weatherwise - your weather photographs are knocking us over each and every day. Keep them rolling in at firstname.lastname@example.com. email@example.com and we will put each of every one of your photographs on the television because they're too good just for
your families. Weatherwise - fine and sunny and 20 degrees. Satellite - cloud is thickening over WA as a trough approaches causing showers on the west coast. None for us. Tomorrow a high over NSW will generate a cold morning and a dry, mild and sunny day. Predicted precipitation - and a dry, mild and sunny day. Predicted precipitation - pathetic. Isolated showers along the northern coast lines, not much in it. Saturday, warm sunny weather across the mainland. Next week, fine and sunny conditions. That's us live from Darling Harbour. See you again tomorrow night. Finally, it's a story that warms the heart - a wedding anniversary to beat them all. A couple in Britain still together, in love and going strong after tying the knot a record-breaking 80 years ago. It's a love story that has really stood the test of time. 105-year-old Percy and his bride, 100-year-old Florence, have been husband and wife - for better or worse - since 1925. I don't think there's any secrets about you. Hey? What? Is there? No, no. What's the secret of our long, happy, married life? Young Florence was a Sunday school teacher when she met Percy in the choir early last century, and they've been singing from the same page ever since. Otherwise, we've been very happy, haven't we dear? Yes. If only you'd wake up. Today, there was an arthritic knees-up after the Guinness people confirmed the record, and then the kids dropped in to the house they've been calling the family home for 77 years. Well, we've always been a family, we've been a happy family. They've hardly ever been apart. So I think the one props the other up all the time. So what is the secret to a diamond-pearl anniversary? Love, I suppose. But it seems Percy has a different idea. The answer is to always say "yes, dear." And, if Percy and Florence have any say, there'll be many more "yes, dears" to come. Patrick Burns, Ten News. That's the 5:00 News. I'm Ron Wilson. Goodnight. And I'm Jessica Rowe. Supertext Captions by the Australian Caption Centre. www.auscap.com.au

Kenya Army Spokesman Colonel Joseph Owouth says he is alive, safe and busy discharging his duties at DOD amid claims that his family does not know of his whereabouts.
In a phone interview, Owouth has said he is on duty and has not been suspended as alleged by Kisumu NASA leaders.
Led by Kisumu Senator Anyang Nyong'o, the leaders claimed that Owuoth had not been heard from since Monday, adding that the family is distressed.
"Yes, am at work. What is happening? ……nonsense nonsense …I am doing fine. Tell them I am at work, everything is fine …there is nothing wrong," an angry Owouth said.
"I have not even been to Kisumu, there is nothing to worry about my safety," he added.
Nyong'o, who is the Kisumu Gubernatorial candidate claimed at a press conference in Kisumu Tuesday morning that Owouth was ordered to take compulsory leave on Friday and he called his family and relayed the same information he them.
"His sister Elizabeth Akinyi, who was then in Koru talked to him and he relayed to her exactly the instructions he had received from his employer," said Nyong'o.
According to Nyong'o, he boarded public transport in Nairobi to his rural home, as he had been ordered not to stay in Nairobi.

For Retired Professional and Business Men. Although Hemel Hempstead is a "New Town", the area has a past that goes back a long way. Originally covered in forest, the land was gradually cleared, and there is some evidence that New Stone Age, Iron Age and Bronze Age man lived in the area, although not all at the same time. The origin of the word Hemel probably came from "Haemele" which was the name of this district in the eighth century most likely named after the person that owned it.
In the book the History of Hemel Hempstead, by the Hemel Hempstead local history and records society it says, "Hemel Hempstead itself first enters the written records in the eighth century when lands in the district of Hamele Haemele is probably a personal name were granted by Offa, King of Essex, to the Bishop of London in A.
The word Hempstead probably originated from "hamstede" which means homestead. The Romans The importance of the area in the Roman times hinged on the fact that it was near to the city of Verulamium St. Raw materials were traded and in return pottery, wine and cloth were purchased from the city merchants.
Roman villas have been excavated at Boxmoor, and in Gadebridge, remains of a large villa with a bathing pool were found. The Saxons There is little solid evidence of the Saxon occupation of the area, but some documents of the time refer to Hemel Hempstead as "Hamele". In land rights were granted, by decree of the king of Essex to the Bishop of London. The Normans Most of the information of this time comes from the "Domesday book" which was a survey carried out for William the Conqueror on his new lands in It informs us that Hemel Hempstead: Mary's church was begun in about , situated in Gadebridge park, it's regarded as one of the most complete Norman churches in Hertfordshire.
The base of the central tower dates from the 12th century. The top of the 70ft. It was a surprisingly grand church for the small size of the community, that not only held church services but would host feasts, festivals and dancing. The basic structure is much the same now as it was when first built, but It has been added to and the interior changed over the generations. The walled gardens shown in the photo are beautiful and peaceful any time of the year. The entrance is in Gadebridge park.
The Tudor Connection Until Tudor times Hemel was still a small agricultural hamlet. In King Henry VIII of the six wives fame , granted a charter to make Hemel a market town. It is said that when he visited Hemel Hempstead with Anne Boleyn he stayed at the Bury in Gadebridge park, all that remains is the charter tower next to the church see photo right.
This was the beginning of the town's population growth. Elizabeth I also had connections with Boxmoor, late in her reign she gave the lands around Boxmoor some acres to Robert Earl of Leicester, who conveyed the land to the Boxmoor Trust so holding the land for the use of the local inhabitants. Local residents are still entitled to grazing rights on the moor to this day.
When repairs were being made to some cottages in Piccotts End, Medieval wall paintings of unusual quality were discovered behind several layers of wallpaper dating back to the late 15th century.
Hemel's not so distant past In another charter was granted, the charter of incorporation was granted by queen Victoria which made Hemel Hempstead a municipal borough allowing the town to elect a mayor, bailiff and alderman. After the second world war, the population of London was expanding rapidly, so as part of the post war programme in , Hemel Hempstead became a "New Town" to house the overspill from the capital.
Now Hemel Hempstead is a thriving town of 80, people, the most famous landmark probably being the "magic" roundabout, which infact is a series of small roundabouts around one big one. The Magic Roundabout It used to be called the Plough or Moor End roundabout but the "Magic" roundabout, or the funny roundabout, as it tends to be called now, was built to cope with the increased congestion that came as Hemel grew.
On the first day of operation in June , traffic came to a standstill and backed up to Berkhamsted. Drivers eventually got used to it although you still see the odd trilby hatted motorist causing chaos and looking totally lost on the roundabout. The High Street The "old" High Street was the centre of Hemel Hempstead before it became a "new town", it contained the parish church, market place, Town Hall and believe it or not, no less than 24 pubs no points for guessing what was the favourite pastime of the era most of the pubs have now closed and have become shops or restaurants.
The street is one of the borough's conservation areas and for the most part keeps its old world looks, winding uphill with buildings varying in age from the 16th century up to the present day.
The Watergardens An important feature of the new town plan was the construction of a watergarden in the town centre. The original idea was to build a new Civic Centre in the middle of a lake. The River Gade leaves the Watergardens and flows through the centre of the plough roundabout to Two Waters and the River Bulbourne. The Nicky Line The Nicky Line ran from Hemel Hempstead to Harpenden, and was a branch line of the Midland Railway.
Opened in , and approximately eight and a half miles long, it had two main stations in Hemel Hempstead and Redbourn. Originally it was built to link the straw plait trade in Hemel Hempstead to the hat trade of Luton. Over the years the number of passengers and commercial traffic declined, due to the fact that the straw plait trade had long died out and new industries were using road transport.
The last passenger train ran on 19 June In the line was sold to the Hemelite Company, who used it to transport ash from power stations to Cupid Green for the manufacture of building blocks.
By all traffic had ceased and the railway line was completely closed down. The line used to run as far as Boxmoor across a viaduct demolished in over the Marlowes. Why was it known locally as the Nicky Line?
Several theories are put forward, from - it was named after the knickerbockers worn by the navvies who built the line to - it was taken from the parish of St. The Nicky line is now a cycle way and footpath. In Hemel Hempstead it can be joined at various points, running from Midland Road through Keen's Field, Queensway in Adeyfield, Highfield, the Industrial Estate to Woodhall Farm.

Cooter wants emphasis on students, not politicsBy Thomas Wilson
star staff
email@example.com Matt Cooter says he wants to eliminate the politics of power that he feels have tainted the Elizabethton Board of Education's decision in recent years.
"I am a little frustrated with how the process is managed now," Cooter told the Star during a candidate profile interview. "I think some of the decisions made are politically motivated."
Cooter, 504-C West I St., is seeking one of three at large seats to the city School Board in the Nov. 2 city election.
Cooter was born and raised in Elizabethton, graduating from Elizabethton High School in 1985. He went on to graduate from East Tennessee State University with a bachelor's degree in business administration. His daughter is a fourth-grade student at East Side Elementary School.
Cooter works as a sales representative for SSC, a company that sells supplies to school systems in Tennessee, Virginia and the Carolinas. He said his job of the last 15 years has taken him to school systems in four states where he listens to school board members and system administrators about their financial plans.
"I know what to expect," said Cooter, who is making his first run at public office. "The thing I see is the need for leadership at the central office and at the (school) building level."
The Elizabethton City School district has seen a revolving door of administrators during the past four years. Three different superintendents have held office. An entire upper echelon administrative staff departed during the past 15 months following a messy and very public dispute between former superintendent Dr. Judy Blevins and EHS principal Edwin Alexander.
Cooter said the board's duty was to set policy, not have a hand in the school's day-to-day operations. He said the board needed to forge a better relationship with the Elizabethton City Council and provide more communication with teachers and the public.
"You have to give the teachers and the parents a platform to say what is on their minds," he said.
Cooter noted that city funding to the system had essentially remained unchanged in the past three years. He said the system's teachers were once among the best paid in the state, mirroring the system's statewide rank for academic success.
"In the past years, that has dwindled away," he said.
Elizabethton City Schools met all federal benchmarks for testing and attendance as set forth by the No Child Left Behind legislation giving more control and requiring increased accountability to individual school systems. Cooter said while standardized testing had some suspect attributes, the system's overall success on both Gateway exams and NCLB requirements cast light on the success of teachers and students.
"It is a tribute to our teachers," he said of the state and federal reporting results.
The board voted 3-2 changing existing policy to require all requests for professional leave by central office administrators to be approved by the full school board. The policy has remained intact for several months. Central office personnel are frequently required by the state to attend various programs and seminars if they are involved in administering special education or curriculum programs in a school system.
Cooter said he favored administrators attending conferences and the present oversight by the board. He also said a report to the board during a public board meeting about the nature of the trip would be nice.
"You are spending the taxpayers' money to go," Cooter said.
At their September meeting, school board members discussed altering the system's existing nepotism policy on hiring the family members of the superintendent or board members into the school system. The board tentatively scheduled a discussion of the policy at its Oct. 21 meeting.
Cooter said he would be reluctant to amend the nepotism policy.
"I don't really think it is a bad thing," he said. "It takes some of what could be interpreted as a political agenda out of the equation."
Cooter said he hoped the city's growing commercial base with new retail developments would add dollars to the city coffers, and mean additional funding to the school system. He also said overcrowding conditions at East Side Elementary needed the immediate attention of the board.
Cooter said his professional and personal involvement with public education fueled his desire to serve on the board.
"The board needs to work together as a team," Cooter said. "I do think the board needs to be a cohesive group, to be open minded, and listen to opinion."

The Liverpool Football Club Latest Football News for 2017 – 2018
- Mon, 20 Nov 2017 08:30:45 +0000: Premier League: 10 talking points from the weekend's action - Liverpool | The Guardian
Hugo Lloris's top-four focus for Spurs is telling, Callum Wilson is making up for lost time and can Paul Pogba yet be compared with Steven Gerrard?
After challenging for the title for the past couple of seasons, it was significant to hear Hugo Lloris contemplate looking over Tottenham Hotspur's shoulder more than in front of them at the end of a derby defeat. "Oh, before we think about [the leaders] Man City it's important to stay in the top four. This is the main target for our team," he said. "We heard from outside that Tottenham play for the title, blah, blah, blah. The most important thing is to stay consistent in the league." The difficulty imposing themselves on the most challenging away fixtures remains a sticking point. Having lost at Old Trafford and Arsenal in recent weeks, next month they visit the Premier League's pace setters at the Etihad Stadium. Spurs found it hard to penetrate Arsenal's defence, and when Mauricio Pochettino subbed off Harry Kane and Dele Alli neither could feel they had been at their most influential. "The spirit was good, we were in the fight and able to develop our game with the ball in the floor. But in the final third we need more aggression and movement," Lloris said. "Now we need to carry on. It's true that we wanted to do more against Manchester United and Arsenal. Unfortunately we couldn't do that so now it's important to have a run of victories because we need to keep our place at the top." Amy Lawrence

- Sat, 18 Nov 2017 18:15:38 +0000: Kenny Dalglish: 'As long as we're living we won't have closure on Hillsborough' - Liverpool | The Guardian
In a wide-ranging interview to coincide with the launch of a film about his life, Kenny Dalglish opens up about the tragedies of Hillsborough and Heysel but also the joys of football at Liverpool and Blackburn
"I wanted to do it and they wanted to come," Kenny Dalglish says simply on a quiet morning in Liverpool as he remembers how, in April 1989, he led his daughter Kelly and son, Paul, past a vast sea of flowers covering the ground at Anfield and headed up onto the Kop to honour the 96 people who had died that month at Hillsborough. "The kids had been at the game and so it was traumatic for them but it was also an unforgettable experience on the Kop."
Dalglish was then the 38-year-old manager of Liverpool. Kelly was 13 and Paul was 12. Liverpool had asked him to become their player-manager almost four years earlier, on 30 May 1985, the day after the Heysel Stadium disaster when 39 people lost their lives at the club's European Cup final against Juventus.

- Sat, 18 Nov 2017 17:11:57 +0000: Mohamed Salah hits double to help Liverpool cruise past Southampton - Liverpool | The Guardian
Mohamed Salah has become known as "The King of Egypt" around Melwood since securing his country's first World Cup appearance in 28 years. He has quickly established a regal presence at club level too. Liverpool's £36.9m summer signing struck another two goals as Southampton were comprehensively outclassed.
Salah followed up a two-goal display at West Ham United before the international break with two more to take his place as the Premier League's leading goalscorer. He was signed from Roma with speed and creativity in mind but he has exceeded expectations with 14 goals in 18 games in all competitions for his new, grateful club. Nine goals in his first 12 Premier League outings for Liverpool has also set a club record. And to think the former Chelsea winger's finishing was subject to legitimate criticism earlier in the season.

• 'Whatever people say, the NHS is not as bad as you think,' says manager
• Sadio Mané and Philippe Coutinho in contention to face Southampton
Jürgen Klopp has allayed concerns over his health and ordered Liverpool's players to keep him out of hospital by winning games.
The Liverpool manager missed training on Wednesday when he visited a local hospital as a precautionary measure. "I have been twice in a British hospital now," said Klopp, who had an appendix operation in February 2016, "and whatever people say about it, the NHS is not as bad as you think!" The 50-year-old confirmed he was given the all-clear by doctors before being released on Wednesday night and allowed to take training at Melwood the following day.

Practical and Helpful Tips: Programs
The Most Vital Components of a Business Management Software
Business management software is key in streamlining all the activities which are carried out in business. The software interlinks all departments and necessary players to ensure the business runs smoothly. A business manager must ensure they select management software which incorporates all the departments in their business. Good business management software has the following features;
Consumer Organization
An effective business management software must be able to record and keep track of all the details of the customers of the business. Having the customer information stored in a central place will make it easy to retrieve it when required. Having the contacts in one place will also ensure that the business is organized. Having customer information stored will also help in taking ideas from what the customers want hence the business will remain operational and even gain more customers.
Controlling Appointments
Having more customers translates to more work and more people to impress. Business management software need to incorporate means by which the business allocates time to its clients appropriately to be able to take care of them. Managing a business' schedule by business management software thus ensures customers are effectively served without any problems of time. The ability to control and manage schedules should, therefore, be a great factor in any business management software.
Keeping Track of Finances
Proper finance management is key to the prosperity of any business. For easy assessment of financial records, a business management software can come in handy. A business management software can analyze the records and help in determining whether the business is making losses or profits. Business management software must therefore have the ability to keep and be able to draw sense from various financial records.
Invoice Control
Issuing invoices in paper form can be inefficient at times. Following up of such invoices is usually hectic. Giving out invoices through a business software is the best way of doing it. Through the software the invoices are better organized hence following them up is easy. The ability of the software to help in managing and organizing invoices is hence important.
A business software that will put together all those functions for a company will be the best software for a company to boost its growth and enhance the quality of products and services it delivers to its customers. The software should allow the business to make its service delivery faster and manage its resources effectively to be able to gain the most out of the customers

The United Nations was formed on 24th October 1945 in San Francisco. The body was formed after World War 2 in hope of averting another world war from happening again.
When the United Nations was formed, it was formed with a hope that it wouldn't repeat the same mistakes that the League of Nations did and hoped that the United Nations wouldn't be a failure like the League of Nations. It was clear that the League of Nations was an absolutely failed organization which had clearly failed to live up to its objectives of stopping another world war. The second World War happened precisely when the League of Nations existed.
The United Nations did learn from the mistakes of the League of Nations. If you compare its achievements from the beginning of its existence, you do find that there has been quite a lot of achievements.
Of course, many UN experts still believe that the UN has outlived its purpose. Many believe that when the UN was formed in the year 1945, the organization was pretty much ad hoc. The UN prospered as it could solve the problems at that time. However, the lack of reform and change coupled with the rigidity of the UN system made the UN a more useless organization by the day.
The UN's biggest failure happens to be the executive body, which is the Security Council. The UNSC has been dominated by 5 countries with the power to veto. These 5 countries, namely, the United States, China, Russia, France and the UK have literally bullied the entire UN. All resolutions are to be approved by the UNSC and if any one of these countries believes that it could affect them in anyway, then the resolution is thrashed. The resolution could be a great resolution, but it is thrashed because there are political objectives behind it. And even if the resolution is passed, everyone knows that national law always has more importance than international law. So you cannot impose a resolution on a member state however hard you try.
Besides, there are other problems of the UN that makes people more cynical about the UN. The UN has failed in its peacekeeping missions, the UN in no way has any control over issues concerning international security, the UN has done little to stop massacres, just like what happened in Rwanda in 1994. People have lost faith in the United Nations. It is time we accept this fact.
Image via Wikipedia
But when we are confronted by the question about the UN ceasing to exist, I think it is a big NO.
To begin with, the United Nations is one of the most effective inter-governmental organization there is. The United Nations is a place where all 192 countries do have a voice. It is where they can voice out their opinions regarding different issues. It is a platform where they can actually discuss issues and find out new ones to discuss about.
For many countries, the United Nations is a political advantage. They use the United Nations to shame other countries and portray them in poor light and point out any misgivings in that country. That way, everyone knows who is supporting who. Countries and their governments need this platform.
The United Nations is where you get legitimacy for some action which is required to protect a nation. This concept is called the responsibility to protect or R2P. Of course, this concept can be debated on end regarding what the UN really does, but nevertheless is a very important concept. For example, in order to protect the Kuwaitis, the coalition required the permission of the United Nations. Even in the recent case in Libya, the NATO had to wait for permission to engage. The Iraq war can be considered an exception, but even for the Iraq war, Colin Powell went to the UN and had requested permission to conduct the war in Iraq. That is another thing that he did not wait for the outcome and the US had already put boots in Iraqi soil. Article 42 of the United Nations charter provides legitimacy for the Responsibility to Protect.
Image via Wikipedia
The United Nations is where nations bring their bilateral disputes. IT could be something as big as the Kashmir issue between India and Pakistan or it could be as small as the dispute between UAE and Iran over AbuMusa island. This is where nations make their case. This is where the nations see who their true allies are and what their policy really is. This could break or make bilateral ties between countries.
Even though the world doesn't have faith in the General Assembly or other organs of the United Nations which make decisions regarding security of the world, the world has faith in the organs of the UN like the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), UNICEF, UNESCO, UNDP and other developmental bodies. There is little scope for bias and they target issues that really affect people. These bodies are quite effective and they target a vast amount of issues ranging from poverty to women and children's rights.
The resolutions passed in the United Nations is also a source of good legislation. Countries can study resolutions and adopt the good parts about it into their national laws. Since all resolutions are debated, discussed and then passed, there is very little need to work on it again. The resolution may be amended little and adopted for use with the national laws.
The UN is going nowhere. The UN is going to be here for a really long time to come. This is proved by the growing budget for the UN and its activities. The UN however, is in need for serious structural reforms that will make it more fit to play a big role in the 21st century.
