Sunday afternoons, before the highways. Light rain and thin, ribbed leeches arching uselessly on black rubber. Pond water burps in boots, and mosquito bites swell between knuckles and behind ears. Damp air, rich with the scent of red dirt and spiced from invisible, descending walls of wood smoke from family fires. Stoop again, and gulp another half-pint of murky water into a jar.
Walk back to a house and press against the outer wall of the chimney. Blink through wet hair at grey-eyed trophies, wriggling and warping behind glass. Feel heat through bricks, rousing shoulders. The steam that smells like a synthesis of eucalyptus mud from a roof gutter, and the lifeless density of wet air from a sunken cellar.
Sunday afternoons spent dipping for tadpoles. Fond reflections, and as true to as the chair upon which I sit. I've written of these memories several times, each effort spaced in years, and every visit recalled through a varied lens.
In my fifth year of primary school, among the Andrews and Alisons, the Benjamins and Belindas, I began to shift my attention, toward writing.
I first began writing exteriors, in the year of the bicentenary. Lunch orders came in brown bags from the local milk bar, and Batman stickers peeled easily off juice boxes. School projects were crudely etched on A2 card, and fourth-graders printed their coerced depictions of an Australian settlement on blue, red, and white paper.
Topical questions manipulating a European voyage to Australia, and subsequent colonisation of the land at the bottom of the globe. We were instructed to summarise our subject findings. Pint-sized plagiarists in the making. Cutting and pasting heavily lathered slices of lined paper, pock-marked with distorted information. Ink from biro scratchings bled like berry juice over congealed welts of Clag.
My assignment was to be something different. I recounted stories from this land's prehistory that I'd read in the school's library. In particular, a picture story book called The Quinkins published in the late 70s. While attempting to keep the source authentic, My retellings moved eyebrows inward and tugged at the seams of this classroom's educational architecture. My account of an invasion was printed in bold capitals that bent and swayed like saplings in a literary wind, leaning in all directions, and girt by a sun setting from a sky, into earth.
The classroom was soon wallpapered in a patchwork display; a mosaic of Union Jacks and warped, grey lead renditions of the Captain, James Cook. In a corner, stretched tightly over the power point, one could just make out the red, yellow and black of an Aboriginal flag. Segregated.
In 1988 I began writing practical adventures; frog hunting expeditions, boundless narratives wrapped in the foliage of tree top. These were scrawled, mis-spelt, and captured on the watermarked pages of my Dad's high school exercise books.
Frequent places or moments from childhood, attempt to capture mud on a forearm or a scratch on the cheek, or the texture of bark from the tea tree. I will always pull at and chew on memories, as everyone does. Hopefully, one day I can find pure happiness again; writing about the way I wish things still were.

I've read that very first letter that reignited my grandparents' courtship so many times that what was once an obscurity is now committed to memory! There are many intriguing things the letter reveals, but here are a few I find especially fascinating and why.
She visited San Francisco but didn't see the Golden Gate Bridge.
My grandmother, Mary, never spoke about the trip she made to California the summer of 1929 nor the sights she would have seen on that train trip. In the letter she says she spent time in Long Beach, a suburb of Los Angeles. My grandparents would live in another suburb of Los Angeles during the 1950s. I imagine Mary in her bathing cap and swimsuit, enjoying the chilly waters of the Pacific Ocean, then wrapping herself up in the beach coat that she mentions. A railroad ferry likely transported them from the port of Long Beach to San Francisco. She would not have seen the landmark Golden Gate Bridge, though, because construction did not even begin until January 1933. She might have visited Nob Hill, Lincoln Park, the Palace of Fine Arts and probably Whitney's Playland Amusement Park. If she did, I hope she had It's-It Ice Cream Sandwich, vanilla ice cream between two oatmeal cookies and covered in dark chocolate.
The other boy's name was Willis.
His name was Willis. No last name. Just Willis. I had not ever wondered about that "other boy" that Mary was engaged to before Jim. I was always content and pleased to know that the story of Mary and Jim had a happy ending. But now, I must confess that I am more than a little curious about Willis. Where was he from? How did they meet? Was he really ten years older than her? She shares that he was in the care of the state institution, which I know is the hospital in Fulton for persons with mental illness. It was the first such public institution west of the Mississippi and was visited by Dorthea Dix who famously advocated for care of the mentally ill. What was Willis' ailment? I read that at that time the hospital treated a wide range of illnesses such as indigestion, tuberculosis, epilepsy, anxiety and "disappointed love." Did the broken engagement lead to him receiving treatment for the melancholy of disappointed love? Or was it something else? What ever became of Willis? Was his name brought up in future conversations between Mary and Jim as sometimes old boyfriends and girlfriends are prone to? However it ended for Willis, I hope it was happy.
She wore cold cream with her hair pinned back.
When I was a little girl, I loved the smell of Pond's Cold Cream in Mary's dressing room. I can almost smell its cool, rose water scent when I envision her bundled up in her pullman car berth. Her skin was always like porcelain. She never wore make up. She would "fix her face," which meant powdering her nose with face powder. I also remember bobby pins…dishes of bobby pins in her dressing room, bobby pins in the bottom of her purse, bobby pins in desk drawers and bobby pins at the ready to keep my hair out of my eyes.
She thought she was an "old maid."
I have to chuckle that Mary considered herself a spinster figure like the one on the deck of cards. When this letter was written, in August 1929, Mary would have been 21 years old. I find this both funny humorous and funny ironic. It is funny humorous because the minimum age to marry without parental consent in that era had just been raised to age 16 from age 12 or 14 in some states. Twenty-one was an old maid! Many of her friends were probably already setting up housekeeping and having children. Women pursued higher education but the ideal vocation was marriage and homemaking rather than a career. It is funny ironic because her daughter, my mother, married the first time at age 19. My mother was quick to tell me not to get married so young, and also that Mary would tell her the same thing… and often.
There are salt beds out West.
Fifth grade US geography did not cover the fact for me that in the Northwest corner of Utah are something called the Bonneville Salt Flats. The area is actually part of the Great Salt Lake Desert. Miles and miles of land flat enough to race cars. It is known for its land speed records. If you are old enough to remember, the Pontiac Bonneville took its name from these famous salt beds. We actually had a Pontiac Bonneville but it never broke any land speed records.
She had a way with words.
Somewhere in the middle of the letter, Mary expresses her feelings toward Jim in the most endearing way. Mixed in with the sentences describing her trip, anecdotes about cold cream and season tickets to football games and the weather not to mention the news of her change in relationship status, she pours out her heart:
I am writing you this because even though I am sure you are not worried as to what I might do, you have always been so true and have understood me so well. I just wanted to tell you that. I have never known a boy that had higher ideals than you and in my mind you are surely placed the highest.
Reading this I suddenly understand what my grandmother loved about my grandfather and it makes me love them all the more.

An application to reintroduce the Eurasian lynx to Kielder Forest in Northumberland is to be submitted soon.
In April 2015, the Lynx UK Trust, a team of international wildlife and conservation experts, asked the general public for their opinion on bringing back the deer-hunting lynx after a 1,300-year absence to help balance out deer overpopulation and its damaging effects on forestry and agricultural crops.
Later that year, a national stakeholder consultation was launched on the possible reintroduction, with Northumberland listed as one of five trial reintroduction sites.
Now, the Trust has said that it will submit an application for a five-year trial reintroduction in the Kielder Forest region within the next two months, which could see six lynx released by the end of this year. The bid will go to Natural England, which is the statutory body that would decide on the application.
In a statement on its Facebook page, the Trust said: 'In many other countries, Eurasian lynx reintroduction has proven exceptionally low-conflict and wonderfully beneficial for the local communities that live alongside them, and we do sincerely hope that these cats, which thrived here for millions of years, do have the opportunity to prove they can still fit into both our ecology, and alongside local communities like those across the Kielder region.'
It also refers to the consultation that has taken place since the first public meeting in Kielder 11 months ago and thanks all those who have responded and submitted comments.
However, while some are enthusiastic about the proposed reintroduction, others, including many in the farming community, are not with the NFU branding the idea 'expensive with a high risk of failure'.
When the plans were first announced, NFU countryside adviser Claire Robinson said: "Any species introduction, particularly if it has not been in this country for hundreds of years, can have a massive impact on the many benefits that the countryside delivers. The environment has changed drastically and we do not know how lynx would behave in the current environment.
"But the biggest concern we have would be the impact on farm animals with lynx preying on lambs, poultry and outdoor piglets – those animals are farmers' livelihoods.
"In our view any re-introduction of lynx would be expensive with a high risk of failure – we believe efforts, and finances, would be better focused on retaining current biodiversity.
"The NFU will respond in full to any official consultation from Natural England. We will continue to raise these very serious concerns with Natural England as the licensing body."

This past weekend, my family came down to visit! Shara had a scrapbook overnighter up in ogden area so my mom and I kept her kids at my house while she went. We had a blast! This picture is of the morning after Shara left, the two babies were getting a little fussy so my mom got both of them and put them on the couch together. They loved it! It was adorable!
Today I took Talan to the park because it was a nice day and I wanted to get out of the house for a bit. I called my friend Candace and asked if she would like to meet us there. We had so much fun! We walked on the path around the park for a while, then I wanted to see how Talan would like the grass. He LOVED it! I thought he might freak out and hate it, but no, he liked the feel of it. He sat on it and just kicked his legs in excitement. Hilarious!

Many people tend to kill insects with bare hands without anticipating that some of them can be a serious threat to their health.
A new insect which spreads a disfiguring skin condition has recently become the focus of attention. The "killer insect" has been spotted for the first time in India.
If you want to kill an insect that is unfamiliar to you and you do not know what it can do, do not kill it with bare hands because some of them can be a big threat.
So you might ask yourself ''why is it known as killer-insect?'' Well because if you touch it or even try to kill it with bare hands it can transmit a deadly virus that will spread throughout the whole body in just minutes.
In case you see this insect, kill it with some object because if you do it with your bare hands , it will spread a deadly viral infection which will circulate through your entire body in a matter of minutes.
The consequences of this virus are hardly treatable, so please be cautious when you try to kill a insect do it with some object .
The safest option is to not get 'into fight' with this insect just go walk away from it.

Here is a short article about my time spent with a young man from Chicago with an intellectual Disability. After reading this, please go to the bottom of the page, click the link and help support our Kickstarter campaign. Thank You
By Daniel Hayes
Through His Eyes
This is a story about a young man named Daniel Smrokoski, a young man with an intellectual disability. Founder of http://www.specialchronicles.com, Daniel has overcome many obstacles in his life. As a Special Olympics athlete and a Journalist, his desire to come to Los Angeles for the Special Olympics World Games was a trip of a lifetime for this young man from Chicago, and with limited resources, it was a trip that almost didn't happen. Along came the Knights Of Columbus of the High Desert, and with their support, airfare and travel expenses were provided to help make Daniel's dream a reality. Over the course of 7 days, Daniel was able to interview many athletes from all around the globe, as well as the people who put the Special Olympics World Games together.
He was able to meet his friend for the first time in person, Tim Shriver, as well as Tim Shriver Jr, with whom Daniel was able to get an exclusive interview. One of the major events that Daniel was able to cover as a Journalist with full press credentials, was the opening ceremonies that took place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. What an amazing night it was, and honestly, from this writer's point of view, a night of pure inspiration. Watching Daniel as he walked around at field level, interacting with all of the reporters and photographers from ESPN and other major networks, he was truly at home in his element.
This story is one that I hope can help bridge the gap in how people without any disabilities see others with either an intellectual and or a physical disability and realize that everyone is
different in some way, but, despite these differences, we can all strive for our own dreams and aspirations, and help each other to achieve them. Daniel had an incredible time while out here in Los Angeles, but the real news is how much he inspired so many others. I encourage you to check out his website, www.specialchronicles.com, and maybe even subscribe to his podcast which he has been doing for over 7 years now, you won't be disappointed. So in the meantime, here are a few photos of Daniel at work, and while you browse through them, remember Daniel's Tagline : " GIVING RESPECT AND VOICE TO PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS"

Train With A Purpose
1. Train with weights
- Train on a consistent year round basis.
- You must work on bar speed and mac force.
- Chose fundamental core exercises like the squat, clean, deadlift and bench press.
- Train supplemental/ assistance exercises hard [4 - 6 sets, 8 - 15 reps; super-setting is always effective].
- Train with tremendous intensity.
2. Speed Train
- Speed train consistently on a daily basis.
- Work on the 6 fundamentals of speed training: specific power, over speed, flexibility, acceleration, technique and stride.
- Incorporate plyometric at least twice per week.
- Train hard, but smart.
- Do all drills full speed, "you can't get fast by training slow".
3. Eat a high protein diet
- Muscles grow because of a net increase in whole-body protein which is the difference between protein breakdown and protein buildup.
- Timing of protein intake is very important; scientific evidence suggests we need more protein at specific intervals.
- Research shows we need extra protein within 30 minutes after a workout when muscle synthesis might be at its highest.
- You need more protein at bedtime to keep cortisol [a powerful hormone that breaks down muscle tissue] levels in check, growth hormone levels high and to provide enough amino acids through the eight hour fast we commonly call 'sleep'.
- Minimum consume 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of body weight. Be consistent. Consume protein every few hours throughout the day. Start first thing in the morning and continue until the late night.
- NOTE: use high powered multi-vitamin, vitamin C and vitamin E to aid in repair and recovery.
4. Eat Frequently
- Eat between 4 - 7 spaced meals per day
- Breakfast: "Gotta have it!"
- Research has shown by eating smaller, more frequent meals, you will increase energy levels and control your appetite.
5. Use complex carbs (glycogen) and/or creatine for muscle gains
- Complex Carbs (glycogen) and Creatine will help you gain mass.
- Complex Carbs (glycogen) and Creatine will help with strength endurance.
- Creatine is a 'cell-volumizer' which means it allows the muscles to hold more intracellular fluid and may promote protein synthesis and inhibit protein breakdown.
6. Seek the proper pain
- Proper Intensity is very important aspect of transforming your physique.
- If you don't damage muscle fibers in the proper way during your workouts, you won't create a stimulus for new muscle growth.
- It's during the extra rep that "Mr. Pain" will introduce himself.
- Make "Mr. Pain" your ally not your enemy.
- Seek pain during your workouts; get comfortable with pain, enduring pain builds mental toughness, mental toughness develops attitude, attitude breeds confidence, and confidence brings success.
- There's an old saying "Do as many reps as you can and then do 3 more".
7. Be consistent and take methodical approach to training
- Follow closely to your program.
- You must expose the muscle to a greater and greater workload within a structured plan, so they're forced to adapt by becoming stronger.
- Chart your progression.
- Make a positive gain each day, in all aspects.
- Train with enthusiasm.
8. Gorge your body with protein and carbs after your training session, depending on your goals
- Have a high protein, carb drink right after your training, 'the window of opportunity'.
- A post workout drink will lower cortisol levels, increase glycogen levels and supply muscle with the protein they need to recover from damage you've incurred.
9. Change your training routine often
- BTE Methods is a workout program where you don't do the same routine you did the previous weeks. Workouts change daily, weekly, in various exercises, sets, and routines so that you keep the body guessing, making it more difficult to reach a plateau.
- Use variety in your workouts.
- Rotate special core and supplemental exercises.
10. Rest
- Minimum of eight hours of sleep a night.
- Power nap 30 minutes a day.
- Sleep to recoup, repair and grow.

I'm most excited about the Liz Earle products. I've been eyeing hot cloth cleansers for quite some time now, and just look at the way they packaged it - super cute! I'm least excited about the POP Beauty Aqua Lacquer because its not the type of gloss I would normally gravitate to. Overall I'm not disappointed, but I'm not as thrilled as I was hoping to be. I will be posting full reviews for some of these in the near future. Keep an eye out!

Supercar maker McLaren denies acquisition talks with Apple : The Britain automobile company McLaren has denied the rumor about Apple doing any sort of investment in their company. The official of "Mclaren" has told media to wing that." we would like to confirm one thing that McLaren is not in talk with Apple for any investment business."
Although, according to one of the leading daily of Britain, three unnamed person claimed that Apple is looking to looking at a potential takeover of McLaren or giant teach company is looking to invest a huge amount in McLaren, which is estimated to be around 1.5 billion (1.7 billion euros, USD 1.9 billion).
Also, Apple has not cleared these rumors as their spokesperson told media wing that " Apple would not like to comment on such speculations."
According to the experts, Apple is looking to come into the automobile sector to challenge the Us luxury carmaker, Tesla. As per reports, shares of Apple were got down by 0.77 percent since Tesla's opening in New York, standing at USD 112.70.
Jasper Lawler, a market analyst at CMC Markets in London, provide some light on Apple's strategy. He informed media wing " Apple would like to own McLaren to give a substantial competition to Tesla by stepping their foot into the automobile industry. And, if Apple will succeed in their plan, then Tesla will have to rework on their market strategy to deal with the new competitor."
Earlier this year, Apple hinted to enter the automobile industry and according to The New York Times, Apple ist Apple was reexamining its methodology, retiring parts of its Titan self-driving autos venture. The companies like Alphabet and Uber are putting their every shot to bring the self-driving car on the roads.
Even, Uber has already tested self-driving taxis last week in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, if Apple will succeed to get the investment in McLaren will get them recognition at the world level in the automobile industry as McLaren is running a successful Formula One team.

Squaring the circle – the Single Market without free movement?
Can the UK after Brexit retain membership of the European Single Market without free movement (FoM)?
Short answer: No.
Long answer?: – read on…
The UK government white paper of February 2017 setting out its Brexit aims and objectives managed somehow to be simultaneously both clear and opaque:
"The Government will prioritise securing the freest and most frictionless trade possible in goods and services between the UK and the EU.
Ensuring free trade with European markets – We will forge a new strategic partnership with the EU, including a wide reaching, bold and ambitious free trade agreement, and will seek a mutually beneficial new customs agreement with the EU. We will not be seeking membership of the Single Market, but will pursue instead a new strategic partnership with the EU, including an ambitious and comprehensive Free Trade Agreement and a new customs agreement. We do not seek to adopt a model already enjoyed by other countries. The UK already has zero tariffs on goods and a common regulatory framework with the EU Single Market.
This position is unprecedented in previous trade negotiations. Unlike other trade negotiations, this is not about bringing two divergent systems together. It is about finding the best way for the benefit of the common systems and frameworks, that currently enable UK and EU businesses to trade with and operate in each others' markets, to continue when we leave the EU through a new comprehensive, bold and ambitious free trade agreement.
That agreement may take in elements of current Single Market arrangements in certain areas as it makes no sense to start again from scratch when the UK and the remaining
Member States have adhered to the same rules for so many years. Such an arrangement would be on a fully reciprocal basis and in our mutual interests."[1]
The simplest way of securing "the freest and most frictionless trade possible in goods and services between the UK and the EU" would be to remain a member of the EEA (European Economic Area) which all EU members are part of. In a very real sense it is the EEA which is the 'European Single Market'.
It is important to the UK's economic future that we either retain EEA membership or duplicate it somehow – we describe why here[2]: http://efta4uk.eu/defying-gravity/
The simplest way of retaining EEA membership would be to not issue notification that we are leaving (as we should if we wanted to leave, as per Article 127 of the EEA Agreement) and then apply to rejoin the EFTA (European Free Trade Association) as technically the EEA agreement is really only applicable to EFTA or EU member states. Below, we reproduce the relevant Article in its entirety.
There are many criticisms of the EFTA/EEA model – about 70% of which are based on falsehoods and misunderstandings. In some ways the EFTA/EEA 'Norway' model is better than EU membership (For example Norway represents itself at the WTO, EU member states do not) in other ways it is worse – e.g. EFTA states do not have MEPs or their own European Commissioners to shape EU legislation.
[For more information about the 'Norway Model' we would urge you to read[3] Dr Richard North's enlightening report[4] of the same name.]
In any case, it is impossible to say objectively whether EEA membership coupled with EU membership or EEA membership coupled with EFTA membership is superior. The Americans have a saying "your mileage may vary" which means that on such matters you can only use your own subjective experiences and opinions as a guide to how 'good' something is.
In our last blog Brussels open to UK rejoining EFTA we attempted to address some of the criticisms of the Norway model.
The blog was generally well received; indeed Mr Thordur Oskarsson, Ambassador of Iceland (itself an EFTA/EEA country) to the UK stated we had made some "Excellent points".[5]
If the UK was allowed to rejoin EFTA and retain EEA membership it would solve many of the UK's problems relating to international trade going forward, which we also described in our last blog.[6]
Gordian knot(s)
While many countries around the world enjoy good trading relationships with the countries of the EEA via free trade agreements, the European Union (EU) will not allow countries to enjoy privileged Single Market membership (i.e. deeper integration which removes most non-tariff barriers) without three key things:
- Contributions/grants to poorer states on the European continent. (see the points we made in previous blog about the EEA/Norway grants[7])
- Oversight to ensure that participating states are 'playing fair' – the EFTA states accept the ruling of the EFTA Court when disputes arise concerning the EEA agreement; the Swiss have a complicated system of dispute settlement that the EU is loath to replicate.
- Free movement of persons (also known as Freedom of Movement or FoM)
There are solutions to each of these issues if cool heads prevail. The first two are relatively easy:
- The EEA grants are effectively a form of targeted foreign aid, which helps our neighbours on the European continent. The UK already spends billions per annum on foreign aid and International Development, so we can see no reason why a UK contribution to the EEA grants could not come from this pre-existing pot, at no extra cost to the UK taxpayer. The UK would still likely make a substantial saving compared to EU membership costs (we will discuss this in a blog next week).
- Agree to the EFTA court, send a British judge there to help resolve disputes and send a UK member to take part in the EFTA Surveillance Authority College.[8]
Freedom of Movement
The Swiss got a Free Trade agreement with the EEC in 1972 that did not include freedom of movement, voluntarily signing up to a free movement agreement decades later, so there is a precedent for trade without FoM.
However, it is doubtful that the modern EU would agree to anything more than a basic goods FTA without a specific FoM agreement with the UK. And it goes without saying (although we will) that we need more than that.
It is important to note that both sides want to 'save face' in these discussions, presenting their citizens with a good deal. There is no reason however, why a mutually beneficial arrangement cannot be struck.
FoM is where it gets really tricky, but it doesn't really have to be insurmountable since there are useful precedents.
Firstly, the UK will not be suddenly obligated to join the borderless Schengen Area.
Secondly, UK nationals will want to visit, live, study and work in the EU after Brexit and EU nationals will wish to live, study and work here.
Thirdly, the UK will (clearly) no longer be a EU member state.
Fourthly, freedom of movement has never been absolute in the EEA.
The EEA Agreement allows members to block citizens from the EU or other EFTA states from residing in their countries:
"On grounds of public policy, public security or public health" – Article 28 EEA Agreement[9]
We suggest then; that the EU and UK agree a new compromise, combining elements of the agreements signed with the EU by Switzerland, Norway and Liechtenstein.
Swiss rules for EU nationals mean that:
"Nationals of the EU/EFTA member states do not require a work permit. Within 14 days upon arrival in Switzerland and before commencing work for the new employers, they have to register with the local authorities and apply for a residence permit.
[EU Nationals] must register with the local authority (commune of residence) within 14 days of entering Switzerland.
No residence permit is required for a stay of less than three months, e.g. as a tourist, if you do not work in Switzerland. But if you plan to stay for more than three months you will require a permit. Cantonal law lays down which authority is responsible. The permit is valid for the whole of Switzerland, but you must notify the communal authority of any change in where you live.
A residence permit will be issued if you have enough financial resources for yourself and your family members to ensure that you will not have to claim welfare in Switzerland; you have health and accident insurance for as long as you are to stay. You are not entitled to welfare payments in Switzerland while you are looking for a job."

Norway has an untested Emergency brake which could be unilaterally used to restrict EU immigration under article 112-113 of the EEA (European Economic Area) Agreement.
Liechtenstein has (citing its small size) negotiated a quota system controlling the number of workers allowed to enter the country from other EEA countries.
Liechtenstein is a member of EFTA and the European Economic Area (EEA) – it participates in the four freedoms of the Single Market, but it has been permitted opt-outs over immigration. As Vicky Ford, a Conservative MEP has said:
"If you look at a country like Liechtenstein, in the EEA, they have access to free movement of goods within the single market [but they] have an absolute cap on the number of people given residency a year – and it is only 90 people. The ability to put an upper break is a concept that has been adopted by EEA members and they have been given access to the single market."[11]
Critics will argue that Liechtenstein has only been given its special status because of its small size – which is true. But the precedent of a special status nevertheless exists.
Dr Richard North believes the UK could negotiate a similar arrangement.[12]
As Stephen Booth from the Open Europe think-tank has stated, the UK could make an argument for a similar opt-out, based on our particular factors such as population density:[13]
As well as population density, another reason for Liechtenstein's opt out was that the EEA Council that acknowledged "the vital interest of Liechtenstein to maintain its own national identity."[14]
Since the UK has in recent years experienced unprecedented mass immigration (indeed the BBC have reported that "8.3m people were born abroad – 13% of the UK population")[15] surely the UK could claim that greater migration controls were necessary in the interest of maintaining the UK's own 'National Identity'.
In addition to the above factors, there are partially overlapping but distinct legal differences[16] between EEA freedom of movement and EU freedom of movement, since the former is based around free movement of workers/labour whereas the latter has greater emphasis around the principle of free movement of people/citizens.
This is made clear in the EEA Agreement where it states:
"Freedom of movement for workers shall be secured among EC Member States and EFTA States."
The UK negotiating team should cite all these precedents to make a combined proposal.
The UK should allow EU citizens to enter the UK (after adequate vetting) on condition that Her Majesty's Government had an emergency brake which it could use when necessary; could prevent benefit tourism, could set an overall migrant number 'ceiling' and require that visitors had sufficient means and adequate health and accident insurance – they would of course expect for UK citizens to be able to visit, work and study in EU countries if they met similar criteria.
This could be something that all sides could find equitable.
It is important to reiterate that these combined elements are all based on existing precedent. These changes could be added to the EEA agreement (which is amended pretty regularly) when it is amended to reflect the UK's non-EU status.
In summary then, we believe it is impossible to be members of the Single Market without FoM. But we believe it is entirely possible to slightly clarify and adjust the rules around FoM into something that everyone could accept, and benefit from in the years ahead.

CARLSBAD —A series of commercial buildings, Armstrong Woodworks, Whitlock Surf & Rental, and a few other businesses currently standing on State Street will soon be replaced by nearly 50 modern townhouses in the heart of Carlsbad Village.
The structures along 2531 to 2601 State Street will be demolished to make way for 47 two- and three-story townhouses. Set to sit on a 1.89-acre plot, the narrow homes boast of contemporary facades and rooftop decks.
The majority of the units will be live/work units, which allow offices with walk-in clientele. With its downtown Carlsbad location, the project was intended to appeal to the city's efforts to encourage residents to utilize more public transportation and walk to local amenities by supporting new houses near public transportation and commercial areas.
The city's planning commission approved the Intracorp, Inc., plans for the homes in May with a 4-2 split vote.
Commissioners Victoria Scully and Velyn Anderson opposed the plans due to concerns about limited parking and restrictions on the homes work/live uses.
The city currently permits artistic businesses, including graphic designers, to operate out of residences.
The commissioners argued that a wider range of live/work businesses should be allowed, such as the businesses of attorneys, architects, and accountants.
When the project was brought before council, Jan Jansson, who owns an office north of the property, objected to the plans. He stated that traffic along State Street is already a mess and that the Village is too small to handle such a project.
City Council unanimously voted in support of the proposed homes.
"I think this is going to replace some old dated buildings that I was not exactly proud to see there," said Councilmember Keith Blackburn.
Mayor Matt Hall expressed that the project makes good use of the Village's limited available space.
"The ability to walk to the coaster station, walk to the downtown… I think it fits perfectly from the goals we've had for the Village," said councilmember Lorraine Wood. "It's the kind of development that will truly bring vibrancy to the Village."

Father's Day
Handog Kay Itay
The Grand Tribute to Fathers
"Handog kay Itay (Father's Day Tribute) aims at promoting the crusade for
ideal family living and parental respect , and to enhance a meaningful
observance of Mother's Day, Father's Day, Family Week, Grandparents Day
and other family related events worldwide. Father's Day perfectly complements
Mother's Day as the grand tribute to the other half of parenthood"
Founder, Ideal Parents & Family Foundation (IPFF)
Asian Mother's Day & Father's Day Council
FATHER'S DAY is actually more than a 10-decade old celebration, which originated from the United States as initiated by American civic leader Joan Dodd.
It is a secular celebration to complement Mother's Day in commemorating fatherhood and parenting by males, and to honor and commemorate fathers and forefathers. Father's Day is celebrated on various dates mostly in European countries, and unknown to Asian countries, including the Philippines.
IN THE PHILIPPINES AND OTHER ASIAN COUNTRIES, FATHER'S DAY was unknown until a group headed by civic leader- journalist JONATHAN "JAKE" NAVEA of the National Mother's Day & Father's Day Council and the Ideal Parents & Family Foundation (IPFF) popularized Father's Day every third Sunday of June in 1980.
The celebration was an offshoot of Mother's Day, which Navea earlier popularized in response to a public clamor to stage "a grand tribute to the other half of parenthood," as well as to honor the memory of his late father, ENRIQUE O. NAVEA, a retired public servant, and all other ideal fathers worldwide.
The defunct Daily Express published the first Father's Day newspaper supplement in 1980. Later, Philippine Star, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manila Bulletin and other leading national publications have been publishing Special Supplements to date. The Handog kay Itay Father's Day Yearbook has become a consistent publication of the foundation to commemorate the celebration.
Navea founded the HANDOG KAY ITAY (Grand Tribute to Fathers), now acknowledged as "Asia's pioneer and biggest Father's Day event" as the major highlight of Father's Day featuring the ANNUAL HUWARANG AMA & CELEBRITY FATHERS AWARDS.
Outstanding Fathers from Asia and other countries are also honored thru the ASIAN FATHER-ACHEIRVER AWARD and the IDEAL FATHER GLOBE AWARD during the event.
The celebration gained popularity when National Bookstore and Hallmark published Father's Day greeting cards, together with Shoemart and other noted business establishments which supported the celebration thru festive commercial activities.
Father's Day further gained significant booster when a noted composer-educator LOURDES "BING" PIMENTEL , wife of respected statesman Senator Aquilino Pimentel, Jr., donated pic3"ITAY," a Father's Day musical composition dedicated to fathers, in the early 90's, interpreted by no less than the undisputed entertainment superstar Nora Aunor.
The composition complemented "INAY," a similar Pimentel's composition commemorating Mother's Day .
Navea later initiated Family Week Celebration held every last week of September, Grandparents Day held every first Sunday of September, Consumers Month Celebration and other family and consumer-related events, and eventually lobbied for their respective official proclamations.
HANDOG KAY ITAY aims to enhance a meaningful observance of Father's Day, Mother's Day, Family Week, Grandparents Day and other family-related events. The project also further envisions to promote ideal family living and parental respect in Asia-Pacific and other parts of the world, as well as motivate individuals to be achievers in their chosen fields thus contributing to their respective nation-building.
The event also features popular entertainers and personalities making the event entertaining and commemorative. It usually ushers with a SPECIAL FATHER'S DAY MASS & ST. LORENZO RUIZ FLORAL OFFERING. ESSAY-WRITING CONTEST, FATHER & CHILD EXHIBITS and other commemorative events are also being undertaken.
In 1988, after the world-famous EDSA People's Power Revolution, Navea, in his strong desire to stamp national significance to both Mother's Day and Father's Day celebrations, painstakingly lobbied for a Presidential Proclamation resulting in the historical signing of PROCLAMATION NO. 266 by former President CORAZON C. AQUINO "declaring Mother's Day every second Sunday of May and Father's Day every third Sunday of June as official national celebrations in the Philippines."
The proclamation superseded the Proclamation issued by the latePhilippine Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon and the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos, which formerly declared both Mother's Day and Father's Day to be celebrated on the first Monday of December. The proclamation was not, however, devoid of a string of arguments lodged by a veteran women's group leading to a special Senate Hearing presided by the late Senator Raul Roco, who eventually became a staunch supporter of Navea in his Mother's Day and Father's Day universal crusade.
Navea later initiated Family Week Celebration held every last week of September, Grandparents Day held every first Sunday of September, Consumers Month Celebration and other family and consumer-related events, and eventually lobbied for their respective official proclamations.
Today, Father's Day is undoubtedly one of the popular celebrations and a big family event, next to Mother's Day. It is an occasion to honor fathers typically involving gift-giving to fathers and undertaking family-oriented activities.
The HUWARANG AMA AWARD (Outstanding Fathers of the Year, formerly GINTONG AMA Awards) is conferred on EXEMPLARY FATHER-ACHIEVERS at least 50 years old who have made significant accomplishments in Business & Entrepreneurship, Education, Humanitarian & Civic, Medicine & Allied Sciences, Sports, Medicine & Allied Sciences, Home & Family and other major professional fields and at the same time manifested ideal parenthood.
- HALIGI NG TAHANAN Award - is conferred on OUTSTANDING FATHER at least 50 years old who was able to raise an ideal family of ten or more children.
- AMA NG BAYAN Award – is conferred on OUTSTANDING FATHER-ACHIEVER who has excelled in public service and at the same time manifested the ideal parenthood.

- SPECIAL POSTHUMOUS FATHER'S DAY AWARD - is conferred on deceased EXEMPLARY FATHER-ACHIEVERS who made significant achievements either in home and family and/or in his chosen field(s) during his life-time
Voluntary corporate and individual sponsorship & donations are earmarked to finance the preparation and promotion of the event, particularly the printing of the Annual FATHER'S DAY Yearbook. Proceeds are all earmarked for the IPFF Youth Scholarship & Livelihood Program, as well as the Senior Citizens and Home for the Aged Program.
The EMCOR Learning Center (ESLC) in Laguna and the JAYCEES Talent Center in Quezon City are among the civic ventures of IPFF to provide scholarship to less- fortunate gifted and talented youths and children. The foundation also envisions to construct the GOLDEN HOPE HOME FOR THE ELDERLY to take care of the senior citizens to be productive individuals despite their age.
The Ideal Parents & Family Foundation (IPFF) later jointly ventured in AVP/ TVC Productions, Web Design & Hosting, PR & Advertising , Special Events and corporate assistance service thru MEDIAPOWER SERVICES, the private marketing and corporate group of IPFF and NATIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS FOUNDATION, the business proceeds of which benefit the crusade of the foundation and its beneficiaries.

A New Story
of Business
The Challenge
Engage current students and potential candidates.
The Darden School of Business partnered with Still Life Projects to create a highly-engaging film that would inspire current students and alumni, as well as attract prospective students.
As one of America's top business schools, Darden's main mission is a simple one: to help young people develop into global leaders and entrepreneurs of the future. At the same time, it is revolutionizing the way business is approached and perceived.
We needed to showcase both the age-old traditions of the business school experience while building an excitement about Darden's futuristic approach.
The Insight
Business can be a force for good in the world.
Our Role
Concept Creation, Storyboards, Scripting, Production, Set Design, Editing, Motion Design, Original Score, Color Grading, Audio Mix, Mastering
The Solution
Take a snapshot of the Darden experience, and show how it develops and inspires responsible leaders.
In multiple meetings with the Darden School of Business faculty and administrators, Still Life Projects culled the message Darden wanted to share: that the school was not only creating global and responsible leaders but also teaching those leaders to change the very narrative of doing business.
We selected a student whose story was representative of Darden's student body: passionate, determined and visionary; and a professor who, as a philosopher, embodies the transformational nature of the program, which is engineered to convey knowledge, build practical skills and enhance attributes of character.
Over a two-day multi-camera shoot, our team captured the first person accounts of both student and professor, and from each unique perspective, we wove together the story of Darden's School of Business.

PDF printable version of Better Access to Mental Health Care - Questions and Answers (PDF 931 KB)
Better Access to Psychiatrists, Psychologists and GPs through the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS)Q: How will this initiative work?
A: The initiative will provide patients with a mental disorder with better access to psychiatrists, psychologists, GPs and other allied mental health workers by introducing a range of new Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) items.
Revised MBS arrangements for psychiatrists will place more emphasis on patients seeing a psychiatrist for an initial visit more quickly, and then being directed to the most clinically appropriate service. Options include ongoing treatment by a psychiatrist, a GP-managed Mental Health Care Plan, referral to a clinical psychologist or other allied mental health professional, or some combination of these.
New MBS items will be available for services provided by clinical psychologists and other allied mental health professionals to patients being managed under a GP Mental Health Care Plan. Access to MBS items for GPs with appropriate training to deliver focussed psychological strategies will continue to be available.
Q: How will it improve and increase access to appropriate mental health care?
A: The MBS items and new referral pathways to clinical psychologists and other allied mental health service providers will help GPs and psychiatrists to provide more and better targeted mental health care for patients. The initiative will improve access to other professionals, in particular to appropriately trained psychologists.
This initiative also includes a significant component for providing more accessible training in mental health care for primary care providers.
Q: How will the new Medicare items support psychiatrists to provide specialised services for those with more complex care needs?
A: Directly referring patients to MBS-funded clinical psychologists and other allied mental health workers increases access to a wider range of psychological services, allowing psychiatrists to focus on patients with more acute and complex care needs.
Under a separate new initiative due for introduction in July 2007, specialist mental health nurses will provide care for patients with a severe mental disorder. This will also help private psychiatrists and GPs to focus on patients with more complex care needs.
Q: How many people with a mental disorder are expected to draw on this initiative?
A: It is expected that by 2010-11, an additional 35,000 patients with severe mental illness will be able to have access to psychiatric care as a result of this initiative. Over the first five years of the initiative almost 960,000 clinical psychology services are expected to be provided and almost 170,000 GP Mental Health Care plans developed.
Q: Will the extended Medicare safety net apply to these Items?
A: Yes. Any co-payments paid by patients for these new items will contribute towards their safety net eligibility.
Q: How does this initiative relate to the current Better Outcomes in Mental Health Care (BOIMHC) Program?
A: The increased range of referral pathways complements the range of initiatives funded under the Better Outcomes in Mental Health Care Program (BOIMHC). Access by appropriately trained GPs to MBS items for the delivery of Focussed Psychological Strategies will continue.
The 3 Step Mental Health Process items (or PIP incentive payment 'trigger' items) will run in parallel to the new GP Mental Health Care items from 1 November 2006 to 30 April 2007. The 3 Step Mental Health Process incentive payment and associated MBS trigger items will be withdrawn from 1 May 2007.
The GP Psych Support Service will also continue to provide a network for GPs to seek patient management advice from a psychiatrist within 24 hours. Divisions of General Practice will continue to operate their Access to Allied Psychological Services projects to 2008-09.
The new MBS items for clinical psychologists and other allied health professionals will be implemented in consultation with key stakeholders, including GP representative groups and the Australian Psychological Society, to ensure alignment with the BOIMHC program.
Q: Have there been any changes to the (BOIMHC) Program?
A: The Australian Government will continue to honour its commitment to supporting the key components of BOIMHC, including education and training for GPs, appropriate remuneration of GPs for delivery of Focussed Psychological Strategies, support from psychiatrists, and access to allied health services.
In particular, the Access to Allied Psychological Services (ATAPS) component will continue through Divisions of General Practice to offer an alternative referral pathway for GPs, and the GP Psych Support component will continue to provide advice to GPs on the management of patients. Consultation will take place with professional groups and Divisions about adapting education, training and infrastructure associated with BOIMHC to support the Better Access initiative.
Q: How will the COAG Mental Health 'Better Access' Initiative affect the role of Divisions of General Practice?
A: Divisions of General Practice will continue to manage the ATAPS component of BOIMHC and this has been reflected in the recent renewal of funding agreements to June 2009. It is likely the introduction of the new MBS items for psychology and allied health services may, over the medium term, reduce demand for allied health services through ATAPS, although the impact is likely to vary from Division to Division.
The Department of Health and Ageing will consult with the Australian Divisions of General Practice and Divisions to provide guidance during the implementation of the new initiative.
GP Mental Health Care Medicare itemsQ: What are the new GP Mental Health Care items?
A: From 1 November 2006 new GP Mental Health Care items will be available on the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS).
The new items provide a structured framework for GPs to undertake early intervention, assessment and management of patients with mental disorders, as well as providing new referral pathways to clinical psychologist and allied mental health service providers. These items are based on a similar model of care - assess, plan and review - as the Better Outcomes in Mental Health Care 3 Step Mental Health Process.
Q: What is a GP Mental Health Care Plan?
A: GPs will be able to develop care plans for treatment and continuing management of patients where this is appropriate. A GP Mental Health Care Plan will involve the GP assessing the patient, identifying needs, setting and agreeing management goals, identifying any action to be taken by the patient, selecting appropriate treatment options and arrangements for ongoing management of the patient, and documenting this in the plan. GPs will be able to provide ongoing patient management through new review and consultation items.
Q: What is a mental disorder for the purposes of the mental health care items?
A: Mental disorder is a term used to describe a range of clinically diagnosable disorders that significantly interfere with an individual's cognitive, emotional or social abilities. This includes patients with mental disorders arising from:
- Chronic psychotic disorders
- Acute psychotic disorders
- Schizophrenia
- Bipolar disorder
- Phobic disorders
- Generalised anxiety disorder
- Adjustment disorder
- Unexplained somatic complaints
- Depression
- Sexual disorders
- Conduct disorder
- Bereavement disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Eating disorders
- Panic disorder
- Alcohol use disorders
- Drug use disorders
- Mixed anxiety and depression
- Dissociative (conversion) disorder
- Neurasthenia
- Sleep problems
- Hyperkinetic (attention deficit) disorder
- Enuresis (non-organic)
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Mental disorder, not otherwise specified
Dementia, delirium, tobacco use disorder and mental retardation are not regarded as mental disorders for the purposes of the GP Mental Health Care items.
A: Although it is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended that GPs providing mental health care using the new GP Mental Health Care items have completed appropriate mental health training (in addition to normal medical training), such as training recognised through the General Practice Mental Health Standards Collaboration.
There is funding available through the Better Access initiative to support education and training.
Q: When can a GP refer a patient for other services?
A: Patients may be referred for treatment and services under normal GP referral arrangements at any time.
Referrals for Medicare rebateable Psychological Therapies or Focussed Psychological Strategies should be provided, as required, in two groups of up to six sessions, with the need for the second group of sessions to be reviewed by the GP after the initial six sessions. This can be done using a GP Mental Health Care Review, a GP Mental Health Care Consultation or a standard consultation item.
In addition, eligible patients will also be able to receive up to 12 group therapy services in a calendar year where such services are possible and seen as appropriate by the provider. This maximum of 12 group services may be made up of psychological therapy services, FPS - allied mental health services, or a mix of both.
Q: How do the new GP Mental Health Care items relate to the 3 Step Mental Health Process?
A: The 3 Step Mental Health Process (incentive payment 'trigger') items, through the Practice Incentives Program (PIP), will run in parallel to the new GP Mental Health Care items from 1 November 2006 to 30 April 2007.
The 3 Step Mental Health Process incentive payment and associated MBS trigger items will be withdrawn from 1 May 2007.
From 1 November 2006, it is anticipated that patients with a mental disorder will be managed under the new GP Mental Health Care items (items 2710, 2712 and 2713). The 3 Step Mental Health Process items cannot be used in addition to the new GP Mental Health Care Plan and Review items for treatment of the same patient.
Q: How do the new GP Mental Health Care items relate to the CDM items?
A: The Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Medicare items continue to be available for patients with chronic medical conditions, including patients needing multidisciplinary care. The CDM items have not changed.
The GP items in this initiative are based on a similar model of care - assess, plan and review - as the BOIMHC 3 Step Mental Health Process. The GP items are also based on a similar structure to the Chronic Disease Management items, except that GP referral to clinical psychologists and allied mental health services does not require team care arrangements. These referral pathways reflect the different needs of patients with a mental disorder.
Wherever possible, patients should have only one plan for primary-care management of their mental disorder. The creation of multiple plans should be avoided unless the patient clearly requires an additional plan to manage a separate medical condition.
Q: Is there a limit on the number of GP Mental Health Care Consultation items that can be claimed per year?
A: There is no limit or "cap" on the number of GP Mental Health Care Consultation items that can be claimed by a medical practitioner for services to eligible patients. This item is for an extended consultation with a patient where the primary treating problem is related to a mental disorder, including for patients being managed under a GP Mental Health Care Plan. The GP Mental Health Care Consultation item may be used for ongoing management of a patient with a mental disorder. However, it should not be used for the development of a GP Mental Health Care Plan and cannot be used at the same time as the GP Mental Health Care Plan or Review items.
Q: What information is available about the new GP Mental Health Care items?
A: More detailed information is available at www.health.gov.au or by calling Medicare Australia on 132 150 (for GPs) or 132 011 (for patients). New MBS items are subject to the normal MBS regulatory approval process.
Allied mental health professional Medicare itemsQ: What are the new Allied Mental Health Medicare items?
A: From 1 November 2006 new Allied Mental Health Medicare items will be available on the Medicare Benefits Schedule. Medicare rebates will be available for up to 12 individual allied mental health services per patient per calendar year, in two groups of six services with a review by the referring practitioner after the first six services.
Allied mental health services that can be provided under this initiative include Psychological Therapy services provided by eligible clinical psychologists and Focussed Psychological Strategies services provided by eligible psychologists, social workers and occupational therapists.
Q: Who can access services under this initiative?
A: A patient is eligible to claim Medicare rebates for these services where they are referred by a medical practitioner who is managing the patient under a GP Mental Health Care Plan, and/or a psychiatrist assessment and management plan, or on referral from a psychiatrist or paediatrician.
Q: What are the provider eligibility requirements to provide services under this initiative?
A: A clinical psychologist with eligibility for membership of the Australian Psychological Society's College of Clinical Psychologists, and registered with the Psychologists Registration Board in the state or territory in which they are practising (Clinical psychologists whose state/territory registration includes any limitation are not eligible to register with Medicare Australia to provide Psychological Therapy services under this initiative)
To be eligible to provide Focussed Psychological Strategies under this initiative, allied health professionals must meet specific eligibility requirements relevant to their discipline and be registered with Medicare Australia.
Q: Will publicly funded psychologists be able to access the new items?
A: Items 80000 - 80170 inclusive do not apply for services that are provided by any other Commonwealth- or state-funded programs. However, where an exemption under subsection 19(2) of the Health Insurance Act 1973 has been granted to an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services or State/Territory Government health clinic, these items can be claimed for services provided by eligible allied health professionals salaried by, or contracted to, the service as long as all requirements of the items are met, including registration with Medicare Australia. These services must be direct billed (that is, the Medicare rebate is accepted as full payment for services).
Q: What are Psychological Therapy services?
A: In addition to psycho-education, it is recommended that cognitive-behaviour therapy be provided in Psychological Therapy Services. However, other evidence-based therapies, such as interpersonal therapy, may be used if considered clinically relevant.
Q: What are Focussed Psychological Strategies services?
A: A range of acceptable strategies has been approved for use by allied health professionals using the Focussed Psychological Strategies (FPS) items. These are:
- Psycho-education (including motivational interviewing)
- Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (including behavioural interventions and cognitive interventions)
- Relaxation strategies (including progressive muscle relaxation and controlled breathing)
- Skills training (including problem-solving skills and training, anger management, social skills training, communications training, stress management, and parent management)
- Interpersonal Therapy (especially for depression)
Q: How many services can a patient receive under this initiative?
A: Eligible patients can generally receive up to 12 individual services in a calendar year in two groups of up to six services, although provision will exist for patients to receive additional services where exceptional circumstances arise (exceptional circumstances will be identified by the referring medical practitioner). This maximum of 12 services may be made up of Psychological Therapy services, FPS - allied mental health services, or a mix of both, including services provided through ATAPS. The patient's GP should assess the patient's need for additional services after the initial six services.
In addition, eligible patients will also be able to receive up to 12 group therapy services in a calendar year where such services are possible and seen as appropriate by the provider. This maximum of 12 group services may be made up of psychological therapy services, FPS allied mental health services, or a mix of both.
Q: Do referring practitioners require a specific form to refer patients on to eligible allied mental health professionals for treatment?
A: No. The referral may be a letter or note to an eligible allied mental health professional, signed and dated by the referring practitioner.
Q: What about out-of-pocket expenses and Medicare safety net provisions?
A: Charges in excess of the Medicare benefit for items under this initiative are the responsibility of the patient. However, such out-of-pocket costs will count toward the Medicare safety net for that patient.
Q: What about patients with private health insurance cover?
A: Patients need to decide if they will use Medicare or their private health insurance ancillary cover to pay for these services. Patients with such insurance can either: access rebates from Medicare under the allied mental health items by following the claiming process; or receive services from allied mental health professionals and claim where available on their insurer's ancillary benefits.
Patients cannot use their private health insurance ancillary cover to top up the Medicare rebates paid for these services. It is important for patients to check with their health fund which ancillary services are covered and what their out-of-pocket expenses are likely to be.
Q: How do I find out more information about this initiative?
A: More detailed information on the allied mental health professional Medicare items is available at www.health.gov.au. For information about eligibility and payment process telephone Medicare Australia on 132 150 (for providers) or 132 011 (for patients).
Mental Health Services in Rural and Remote AreasQ: When will the initiative be implemented?
A: Phase one of the Mental Health Services in Rural and Remote Areas initiative will begin on 1 November 2006.
Q: Where will the funding be provided?
A: Under phase one, funding will be provided to several organisations in rural and remote locations. These locations will be where there are significant gaps in mental health services but there is some existing infrastructure.
- Rural and remote locations across Australia will be targeted under this measure and could include areas such as the Northern Territory outside Darwin, Central and Northern South Australia, North-Western Western Australia, Cape York in Queensland, Western New South Wales, East Gippsland in Victoria and North-Western Tasmania.
Q: How will the Mental Health Services in Rural and Remote Areas initiative be implemented? Will funds be provided to Divisions of General Practice?
A: Funding will be provided to organisations that can deliver mental health services in identified rural and remote locations. These organisations could include, but are not limited to, Divisions of General Practice. Other potential organisations could include Aboriginal Medical Services and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Q: Does this initiative complement the Access to Allied Psychological Services (ATAPS) projects provided through Divisions of General Practice?
A: Mental Health Services in Rural and Remote Areas complements the services provided under the ATAPS component of the Better Outcomes in Mental Health Care Program. The organisations that will be providing these services may also include some of the Divisions presently delivering ATAPS projects.

[Limited Edition] Mars Caramel (Boots) [By @Cinabar]
5 comments:
It isn't a patch on the Milky Way version from the USA. The American one has loads of flavour whilst the UK one tastes like a cheap imitation of a Mars product.ReplyDelete
You really need to taste them side by side, the difference is very obvious to these taste buds.
Disappointing! Whats the point in removing the nougat and not replacing it with more caramel?!ReplyDelete
- random_tangentMonday, September 03, 2012 11:42:00 pm
Weird. When they brought Mars Caramel out here, it was the size of a full bar - honestly it was a bit TOO much sugar so maybe that's why they made it smaller in the UK.ReplyDelete
We've had the Mars Caramel in Canada for a few years now. It seems to be a permanent addition to the lineup; not a limited edition. It's a nice change once in a while.ReplyDelete
paulham - it is a bit disappointing. spectre is going to do a side by side test and report back.ReplyDelete
lot-o-choc - its such a shame, its only half a bar :-(
random_tangent - too much sugar? I'm not sure I follow! :-D


text: Darden's Tight-Knit EMBA Network"I explored part-time MBA programs and I explored evening MBA programs before looking into the Darden Executive MBA. One of the things that is most valuable about the Darden Executive MBA format is the intensive monthly weekend residencies and the week-long leadership residencies where we come on grounds and we invest a tremendous amount of time both with the faculty and with our classmates, and we build a strong network and we build a strong relationship and a community here at Darden, which is really the magic of Darden, and it's really a very special thing about the Executive MBA program here, and those things were not necessarily the focus of part-time or evening MBA formats. It also allowed me to focus my energies and instead of spending an evening here or an evening there, doing something part-time, when you come on-grounds, it's very focused, it's very full time and you put a lot of energy into it, and I think you get a lot more out of the process."— Rich Hanna (EMBA '15)

Hi everyone! First post of 2013! Where has the time gone?! I just realized my last post was December 8th! Time really does fly by! But, I guess I wasn't just lounging around for the past three weeks or so. I have been working really hard on putting my first thematic unit on TPT. I just finished and it feels oh so good!!! It is the best feeling to have a new resource on TPT. (I am sure everyone knows what I mean!) This is the prettier version of the unit I taught for my student teaching. My students LOVED my outer space unit I taught them. I went all out for it! I made an astronaut costume to show the students the parts of a space suit, I bought actual meteorites and let the students hold them, we set off rockets, and much more. Overall, it was a great experience! I think that is probably why I enjoyed making this resource so much. It brought back all the memories of student teaching. I sure miss those kiddos!!!
Anyways, as I said, my outer space unit is complete and it is a big one alright. It is a whopping 169 pages. Yup, that's right, 169 pages! It took me a long time, but it is one resource I am extremely proud of!!! Check it out!

Telecommunication regulator Ofcom today announced plans to cut the cost of calling a mobile phone from a landline, which could save UK consumers and businesses almost £800m a year from 2015.
By forcing mobile firms to slash the 'termination fees' they charge another operator for connecting a call, Ofcom hopes that customers will benefit from smaller bills and increased competition.
"Lower termination rates will enable cheaper calls to mobiles for the 32.7m UK homes and businesses with a landline. The proposals will also mean that both landline and mobile operators have more flexibility in designing competitive call packages, promoting competition for the benefit of consumers," said Ofcom.
At present, Vodafone, O2, Orange and T-Mobile charge 4.3p a minute for connecting a call from someone who is not on their network. The newest entrant to the market, 3, charges 4.6p. Under Ofcom's plans, this rate will fall to 2.5p across the industry in 2011-12, 1.5p in 2012-13, 0.9p in 2013-14 and 0.5p in 2014-15.
According to Ofcom, the volume of calls between fixed lines and mobiles in the UK comes to around 20bn minutes a year, generating termination charges of £860m annually at the current rate. Under Ofcom's charging plan, this will fall to just £100m by 2014-15. Ofcom said it expects fixed-line operators such as BT to pass the saving onto consumers.
Mobile phone users will probably not see any benefit, though. Because the mobile operators levy this wholesale charge on each other, the saving in lower connection costs is largely cancelled out by the lack of income from those same charges.
Morten Singleton, telecommunications analyst at Collins Stewart, warned that some mobile customers might even see their bills rise.
"As a receiver of calls the prepaid customers generated quite decent revenue (and profitability) from the mobile termination rates alone. With these rates finally coming down to a level more commensurate with the costs of providing the service, operators will have to reassess the profitability of their prepaid customer base," Singleton said.
Ofcom is now seeking views on its proposals. BT said it welcomed Ofcom's move, and pledged to "make sure its customers see the benefit". It also questioned whether consumers should have to wait four years to see the full benefit of Ofcom's changes.
"What is being proposed is just the elimination of excessive prices and the mobile operators have had plenty of notice that termination rates are likely to fall," said BT.
Shares in Vodafone dropped by 0.6% this morning, while BT rose almost 1%.
In a separate announcement, Ofcom said mobile operators should cut the time it takes a consumers to transfer their existing mobile phone number to a new provider, to just one working day. Currently this takes two days. Operators will also have just two hours to release the Porting Authorisation Code (Pac) that consumers need to switch provider and keep their old number.
"Our research shows that over 70% of consumers want to keep their mobile number when they switch providers," said Ofcom chief executive Ed Richards.
"Reducing the time it takes to transfer a mobile number to one working day, and enabling consumers to obtain a Pac quickly, means consumers will be able to switch provider more easily without the costs or inconvenience of changing their number."

Indigenous gallery headlines Stockman's Hall of Fame reopening
Media Release
02 October 2016
Joint release with:
David Littleproud
Federal Member for Maranoa
A new Indigenous heritage gallery will be a key feature of the upgraded Stockman's Hall of Fame Museum in Longreach, Queensland, which reopened to the public today.
Minister for Regional Development Fiona Nash said the Museum celebrates our nation's iconic shearers, smithies, pastoralists, and stockmen, and now indigenous Australians.
"The Stockman's Hall of Fame has always been a unique attraction for Longreach, and now it's even better," Minister Nash said.
"To have included an indigenous heritage gallery in the Hall of Fame really completes the offering for tourists, who will bring their dollars to Longreach and create jobs.
"I aim to help build the kinds of rural communities our children and grandchildren either want to stay in or come back to, and diverse rural economies help build those communities."
The $5 million upgrade delivered state-of-the-art interactive exhibition equipment, much-needed repairs, the new interactive Indigenous Heritage Display Gallery, and also supported the restoration of Dr Yaetes Cottage.
Federal Member for Maranoa David Littleproud said the Hall of Fame worked tirelessly to record about a 100 hours of audio and photographs of Indigenous stockmen and women, forever preserving their unique knowledge and contribution to outback history.
"This investment will not only enrich this iconic tourism hub but also preserve so much priceless information we, as a nation, just couldn't afford to lose. This information plays an important part of the outback's history and I congratulate the Hall of Fame for its commitment to the project," Mr Littleproud said.
The upgrade to the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame Museum was fully funded by the Australian Government
