See You at the Crossroads
A divers unearths a black and gold cube. The news is telling of the find and that it will be displayed in the city's museum. It's identified as the Antikythera Device and Jay thinks that it's just the thing to trap Cronus with. The only problem is that cube is a fake, the real thing would have been taken by Cronus had it been real.
Jay and Odie are working on a traping device with Hephaestus. They decide to test the trap on Herry. Placing a box of fried chicken on a stool Herry walks in and immediately goes for it. He offers some to Hephaestus, but he refuses and gets out just in time as Herry picks up the box and the trap snaps shut arond him. Jay is preoccupied looking up on the Antikythera Device and Odie teases Herry though the bars. It's not until Herry lifts Odie by the scruff of his shirt through the bars that he pushes the button to let him go. Herry walks out, box of chicken in hand.
Jay goes to Hera for answers to the Antikythera Device who tells him that the Antikythera Device is the key to the worlds destruction. She tells him that it was designed by the people of the lost City of Atlantis to contol the sea and weather creating tidal waves and hurricanes which could mean the death of everyone. The Gods keep the real Antikythera Device in safe keeping, so that the wrong hands can't get to it.
Jay tells her that they could use it to trap Cronus and be rid of him forever. Hera tells him that if he fails it could mean disaster. He reassures her that he won't fail.
Hera then presses a switch on the wall enabling some stairs to pop up revealing hidden shelves. Hera lifts the real Antikythera Device from it's place and hands it reluctantly over to Jay.
The entire group are in disguise at the museum, having rplaced the fake Antikythera Device with the real one and the trap set about on the floor ready to spring. Jay and Atlanta are dressed as elderly people, Herry and overweight bulider, Theresa a pregnant mother and Archie and Niel wearing spiffy suits and Archie even wears a bowler hat.
Cronus walks in and Jays ready to jump in. Until another Cronus walks in. And another. And another. Cronus has made hallucinations of himself that are going about the museum interrogating the public and throwing about priceless artifacts. The team run about frantically jumping for Cronus and falling right through the mirage. The real cronus throws his stick at the Antikythera Device letting it crash to the floor and the trap snap shut with no Cronus inside. As he walks out he makes a reference to Atlas, one who was forced to hold the sky up and with ease just walks out leaving Jay in a mess.
Determined to get the Antikythera Device back Jay goes to Atlas and asks him questions. He tells Jay that the Antikythera Device is only part of the huge machine that is used to control the sea. It's found where it was made: Atlantis. Odie, Theresa and Jay search endlessly for Atlantis's whereabouts in the library with no results. Finally Odie finds some coordinates on a picture of the Antikythera Device. Then Atlas walks in and tells them that he could have told them where it was, it's where he was born after all. That could have been useful earlier. Jay rings the rest of the team who have rounded up a submarine. Jay asks if they were caught stealing it but luckily no one was around.
They head into the sea and ten games of monopoly later they see Atlantis up ahead. And Cronus is already there, in the water with no equipment or gear whatsoever. It seems he can do anything, including breathing underwater. Jay sees him heading toward a strange statue with a spot the perfect fit for the Antikythera Device. He sends out Atlanta, Herry and Archie to stop him. But Archie's scared of water. Oh well Niel will have to go. Archie doesn't look to happy about it.
They go out into the water on the water version of a moped. Very cool. They try to destroy the statue but to no avail. It's indestructable. Cronus, having been cast aside makes a cut in his finger producing a whirl of blood, which turns into a giant eel. Everyone ducks for cover and Cronus pops the Antikythera Device into the grove on the statue and instantly a blue neon light protrudes from the ground alluminating a path. Jay realises this must lead the way to the real machine. The statue just showed the way. The team finally hit a stroke of luck. Their submarine would reach it much faster than Cronus's feet would. The four left in the submarine race along the path way for the machine while the other three stay to face the giant eel. The submarine reaches a crack in the wall it won't fit through. With that Jay and Theresa zip up and head out. They find the machine and put a bomb in place of the Antikythera Device. Then Cronus shows up knocking Jay and the bomb out of the way placing the Antikythera Device in. Jay battles Cronus as Theresa attempts to replace the bomb. The others show up, giant eel at their tail and Theresa manages to get the bomb into the machine. Everyone runs for the safety of the water as Cronus is engulfed by his own eel and the bomb goes off destroying the machine and the Antikythera Device. At least they won't have to worry about that anymore. As they go back home having been victorious they wonder if Cronus is really gone.
Archie: (In a submarine) Where's the weapons on this thing?
Odie: There aren't any weapons. It's just a research vessel.
Archie: No wonder no one cared if we took it!
Atlanta: I'm all over it! Come on, guys, time for a swim. Let's turn that thing off.
Archie: (shakes head in protest)
Atlanta: Oh, right. The world's only non-swimming hero.
The gang was seen playing Monopoly
n the scene at the Museum of History, Neil is disguised as Starsky from the 1970's American TV series Starsky and Hutch.
* The red eel could not have been seen at that depth because red light dosn't have a strong enough frequency to go that far under the water.
* The Atlas that was from Atlantis was not the same Atlas that held up the sky. The latter was supposed to have been turned to stone by Perseus, at least in some versions of the myth. The Atlas that was from Atlantis however, was a son of Poseidon, and he was also mortal
* The astrolabe is supposed to be an ancient Greek device, yet it's apparently usually on display in the ancient Eqypt wing of the museum.

Famed attorney Johnnie Cochran Jr. died Tuesday of a brain tumor at 67, according to his law partner Randy McMurray.
Cochran is best known for being part of the "dream team" of lawyers who successfully defended O.J. Simpson in his 1995 double-murder trial.
It was Cochran who famously told the jury after Simpson tried on a bloody glove allegedly worn by the killer, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit."
Simpson was acquitted of killing Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
Hearing of Cochran's death, Simpson told CNN: "I loved him as a good Christian man. I look at Johnnie as a great Christian. I knew him as that. He was a great guy."
Last year Cochran was hospitalized for tests and evaluation of a previously diagnosed neurological condition. At the time, his family requested that the nature of the condition, which was described as not life-threatening, remain private.
In addition to Simpson, Cochran's celebrity clients have included Michael Jackson and Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. Of the rapper, whom he successfully defended on weapons charges, Cochran told PEOPLE in 2001: "He's more like a son to me."
Reached by PEOPLE, Combs said of his former attorney: "Johnnie Cochran was one of the most beautiful people I've ever met. Not only was he one of the world's greatest lawyers…he was such a man of integrity and loyalty, he's going to be truly missed."
Cochran gained early attention as an advocate for victims of police abuse. He represented the family of college football star Ron Settles, who was arrested in 1981 and found dead in his jail cell. Cochran proved Settles died as a result of a police chokehold.
He also represented Black Panther Party leader and Vietnam War veteran Geronimo Pratt on a murder charge in 1972. He lost the case, but the verdict against Pratt was reversed nearly 30 years later.
Cochran also worked on the case of Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant brutalized by New York City police, and helped win him an $8.75 million settlement.
The Loyola University School of Law graduate was Deputy City Attorney for Los Angeles in the 1980s and later founded the private firm of Cochran, Atkins & Evans.
Defense attorney Mark Geragos, who briefly shared duties as Jackson's co-counsel with Cochran, described his colleague as "a gentleman."
"Practicing law in L.A. won't be the same without Johnnie. We're all going to miss him."

The Originals sneak peek: "Bloodletting"
In the next episode of The Originals, all signs point to Tyler's entrance into the show. Will he help Hayley or is he the one who turned her over to Marcel?
The Originals is heating up fast! Now that all the backstory has been established, and we know the truth about the war in New Orleans, things on the show are getting good! Next week looks even better.
According the The CW, in the next episode titled "Bloodletting," Klaus (Joseph Morgan) gets an "unexpected visitor." The network also tell us, "When someone from Hayley's past makes a startling revelation, she grows concerned for herself and the baby."
The Vampire Diaries' Trevino to bring answers to The Originals >>
Then Klaus is seen in the promo at a campsite saying to someone, "Let's end this." We're thinking all signs point to Tyler's arrival.
Maybe Marcel is working with Tyler, and that's how Marcel knew where to find the originals last episode.
Elijah will admit he cares for Hayley
In the promo clip, we see Elijah and Klaus talking as they race to find Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) before Marcel does something rash.
Klaus confront Elijah saying, "So you do care about her?"
And by the look in Elijah's eye, we know there's no hope for him denying it. We absolutely love everything about the Elijah/Hayley relationship!
The Vampire Diaries' best and worst couples >>
Marcel offers Rebekah an ultimatum
Despite Marcel's rejection of Rebekah's offer that the two runaway together, their sexual tension will continue to heat up the small screen this week.
According to The CW, "Marcel makes Rebekah (Claire Holt) an enticing offer that leaves her torn."
We're guessing it has something to do with the two of them starting a relationship, if the originals call a truce in the fight for New Orleans. After all, now that Hayley's connection with Sophie is broken, it isn't in the originals' best interest to continue working to take down Marcel. Klaus' only motivation now is just the desire for power.
The next episode of The Originals airs Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

Your looking for an apartment is the business we perfected in 1959. Yes, we are the oldest service in the United States assisting renters as a professional apartment locator.
We differ from moving companies that offer apartment information and on-line web services in several important ways.
1. We are people helping people, not computers listing information. Your presentation is your vacancy list- your list is based on phone calls, visiting communities, updating resources and our professional experience and opinion.
2. On-line listing services expect you to do all the driving around and calling. They expect you do all the work. They are not a true search of vacancies.

People wanting real assistance respect those that are professionals. That is all we ask for. When we do the work, we ask for your loyalty and support by informing the apartment communities that we are the reason you are visiting and leasing at their community.

Rag & Bone has launched their first campaign to coincide with the opening of their new store in London. What is a sure way to make your campaign stand out amongst the rest? That's right, get Kate Moss! That is just what designers, David Neville and Marcus Wainwright did. For their first campaign, Kate was shot on the streets of London by Criag McDean.
I cannot see any other better combination than this one. I think all the spectrum's about it are just right on. What are your thoughts on the first Rag & Bone campaign?

As hell rained down on innocent concertgoers in Las Vegas, trained law enforcement officers were almost positive the gun blasts coming from the gunman's perch at the hotel had to be automatic fire. As it turns out, they were mostly wrong.
Federal agents now have determined that twelve of the AR-15 rifles found in Stephen Paddock's hotel room were modified, upgraded to mimic a fully-automatic weapon by a device that anyone can buy, over the internet or at a sporting goods store.
As a result, the country on Wednesday seemed fascinated by the device called the "bump stock" or the "Slide Fire."
The feds say it's what Paddock used to mimic a machine gun and killed 59 and injured more than 500 people.
It's a totally legal, modification device you can put on your AR-15. Instead of having to rapidly pull the trigger, with the "bump stock," you can just hold the trigger and the recoil action turns your totally legal semi-automatic into a fully automatic.
How easy is it to buy one? WFAA found one at a Cabella's Sporting Goods store in Fort Worth for $300.
They can be found online for around $100. We were in and out of the store with our own "Slide Fire" in about 12 minutes.
Shooting instructor Travis Bond of DFW Shooters Academy agreed to install and test it for us. Despite Bond's significant experience and knowledge of weapons, trying to decipher the instructions and navigate the pieces proved challenging to him.
We then traveled to the shooting range to test the firing speed of the newly converted AR-15. Bond had never fired a "bump stock" before. Even before we got started, he shared his thoughts.
"I think basically the "bump stock" is more of a toy," said Bond. "I think it's like Tannerite or some of those other weapon-related novelties. If used properly, they are safe."
But safety is compromised if the device does not work correctly. After several attempts to get the "Slide Fire" to work, the trigger alone worked and the weapon fired, but our $300 product appeared to malfunction. So Bond pulled out his own semi-automatic, AR-15 to prove a point.
He began rapid firing the weapon as designed. So many rounds came out, the barrel of the gun started smoking.
"It's not quite as fast but what more do you need than that?" Bond asked.
His final analysis? With or without the "bump stock" or "Slide Fire," a gun in the wrong hands can spell tragedy.
"Statistically would there have been a difference if Paddock had used a semi-automatic?" asked Bond. "I don't know and I don't have any way of knowing. But I can tell you this, the damage would have been significant either way."
Some conservative Congressmen, including two Texans, Sen. John Cornyn and Rep. Bill Flores, were actually discussing the prospect of banning the "bump stock" style modification device.
California Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation on Wednesday to ban the weapon modification devices.

You've shared every article, worn your hoodie daily, attended rallies, donated multiple times to the Trayvon Martin Foundation and are left waiting... empty, angry and confused. I know the feeling.
In the days following my initial flurry of tweets about the verdict, I sat back, quietly reading some of the most beautiful, meaningful writing I have ever seen. Trayvon essays from teens, mothers, celebrities, journalists, pundits and even remarks from the President of the United States. Most moved me to tears. Many ended with a link to a petition. All left me, a former professional activist, feeling helpless.
As someone who was once asked to leave an event for saying to a politician "Fine, but what can we do about it?" over and over again until he answered, I am hardwired to search for practical action steps for everyday people. Without them, this critical dialogue about race that is now a "National Conversation" will be drowned out by hopelessness, futility and tomorrow's news.
I know and work with dozens of brilliant leaders who are developing a coherent national advocacy strategy and polished, well-produced campaigns to share with the world. But that takes time -- and right now, it doesn't feel like we have any to waste.
So in the meantime, here are some steps to help us all contribute to the movement beyond the moment:
Many people concerned about justice have an authentic, deeply personal narrative around race. Trayvon's murder has allowed us the space to share it. We have verbally rehashed both the facts of the case and our own painful experiences every second of every day on every social media platform and in every conversation, in hopes that the very articulation of these injustices will move a nation. This collective story telling is not only cathartic, but is a very powerful tool for change.
Unfortunately, that's not enough. To have lasting impact, we must follow our stories with a message. As a communications trainer, I often ask my students one simple question after they passionately tell me about an issue or cause: So what? That is now the world's question to us. It's time to get specific with our answer.
Begin to form your own key message around racial and criminal justice. Don't just talk about Trayvon -- begin to learn about racial profiling, gun violence, and other issues related to this moment. Do you have a specific perspective on jury selection? On gun laws? On the media and race? What would your 3 talking points be on any one of these issues? What one or two pieces of data could you use to back up your opinion?
If you need help figuring out what to say and how to say it, check out OpportunityAgenda.org as a start. They have some really well researched advice on racial messages. In the age of social media, having a conversation about race isn't enough. Lets make it a productive one.
Trayvon's story became national, but at the core, he was a boy from Sanford, Florida. There are thousands of stories in cities all over America that mirror his. What are they where you live? Get familiar. Learn the names of other victims, police chiefs, prosecutors, governors, and laws. Then find out who is doing the work of justice there and jump in!
Take the time to connect with your local activist, volunteer and outreach groups, online or off. We don't have to wait for a President, a Pundit or a Preacher to give marching orders for the country. Reach out in your neighborhood and get started making your own community a safer place for our children in any way that you can. Doing so will be one of the most immediately fulfilling and significant actions of your life.
I have never believed that national organizations are the only way -- or even the best way -- to make an impact, especially in today's tech-driven world. But as someone who has worked with and for many of them, I can tell you the critical role they play. Right now people are hard at work at those organizations -- many of whom you will never see on TV -- talking to legislators, writing sample talking points, filing suits, drafting sample legislation, taking care of the complicated, not-so-pretty details and creating the tools you need to work smart, not just hard. Get on the email lists of organizations like ColorofChange.org, NAACP, Team Impact and the League of Young Voters to stay informed and connected.
Many of us are compulsive get-involvers. If there's a hungry child, an unfair law, a sexist policy, an endangered natural resource or anything else that makes the world a worse place to live, we're on it, ready to give our time, attention and resources. But let's face it. We only have so much time for so many issues and there may not be any more major milestones around the Zimmerman ruling for a long while. No more BET special programming, no more Jay-Z and Beyonce tributes at concerts, and no more Anderson Cooper townhalls -- Where will this issue be then? And more importantly, where will you be?
For some, it cannot and will not be the #1 priority after this month. And that is ok. Let's not guilt every human being we know for not wearing a hoodie for the rest of their lives. We have to be honest about the emotional and time commitment that it takes to hold the banner for a real life movement and the number of movements we hold dear. But for others, this may be a turning point to commit to the issues of racial and criminal justice for the long haul and join the thousands of others that already have. Only you can answer the question of "Am I committed?". But now is certainly the time to ask.
Taking these four small steps will help move us out of a painful, endless Groundhog Day of outrage for Trayvon and into a mindset of longterm action for equality and justice for all.

Skip to comments.A day in the life of President Bush (10/1/06): photos & news
Posted on 10/01/2006 2:32:57 PM PDT by Wolfstar
PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: With the First Lady involved in events related to the National Book Festival this weekend, the President spent Saturday at Camp David where he enjoys the more challenging mountain bike riding trails. Yesterday, an article by Laura Bush (her preferred way of being addressed) appeared in the Opinion Journal of The Wall Street Journal. In it, the First Lady discusses the books that inspired her to champion literacy. Here's a link to the article, and following is the list of the books that inspired her, in the order she ranks them:

Thanks, mystery-ak for bring this sad news to my attention so I could post it on today's Dose.
To the Dose community: Jonny will substitute for me the next two or three weekends while I move. I couldn't be more grateful to have Jonny on deck to help out in this situation. He's a great Dose host. :)
You guys are fast. Great choice of photo, Wolfstar.
Anyone who can look like that while watching Bob Woodward get honored for his latest book deserves our respect.
The President walking across the South Lawn accompanied by...could it be our birthday boy, Barney, in the center of the photo?
Looking fit and handsome, Dubya waves to...well, Yahoo says its reporters, but I'd prefer to think it's supporters. ;-)
Good afternoon. How are you?
So Dubya, kind as ever, pats the boy's head.
The Medal of Honor flag was created by an Act of Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush Oct. 23, 2002. Each service was charged with presenting the flag to its recipients in an appropriate ceremonial manner. The flag can only be presented to a Medal of Honor recipient or a recipient's primary next of kin by a top-ranking member of the armed forces. The Medal of Honor is our country's highest military honor, awarded for acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty. (AP Photo/U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Chad J. McNeeley)
In celebration of Barney's 6th birthday, here are a few of my favorite photos of our little Scottish friend. :)
Thinking of certain Dimocrat body parts, Barney nudges a golf ball on the Oval Office Rug.
Always guarding his Boss' back, Barney looks out the window of the Oval Office.
He also helps the President greet visitors to the Oval Office.
I think we have a three-way tie! I hope so!
Barney laughs uproariously at the thought of Ted Kennedy ever visiting the WH again on his watch.
Waiting for The Boss to pitch a horseshoe.
He's even offered to drive the truck home.

That Time When The Pope Wanted All his Jewish Subjects to Wear Sisit
In some provinces a difference in dress distinguishes the Jews or Saracens from the Christians, but in certain others such a confusion has grown up that they cannot be distinguished by any difference. Thus it happens at times that through error Christians have relations with the women of Jews or Saracens, and Jews and Saracens with Christian women. Therefore, that they may not, under pretext of error of this sort, excuse themselves in the future for the excesses of such prohibited intercourse, we decree that such Jews and Saracens of both sexes in every Christian province and at all times shall be marked off in the eyes of the public from other peoples through the character of their dress. Particularly, since it may be read in the writings of Moses [Numbers 15:37–41], that this very law has been enjoined upon them.<<
From: H. J. Schroeder, Disciplinary Decrees of the General Councils: Text, Translation and Commentary (St. Louis: B. Herder, 1937)
Numbers 15
37 The Lord said to Moses, 38 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. 39 You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes. 40 Then you will remember to obey all my commands and will be consecrated to your God. 41 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord your God.'"

Long term global staff agreement procedure
Part of the RMIT University strategy is to be global. This encompasses attitude, action, presence, and may include working at global locations.
RMIT University recognises that in order to meet this vision and be a truly global competitive education institution having a policy and procedure for international work is crucial.
The intent of this procedure is to outline the terms and conditions to be considered and applied where staff are engaged to undertake a global agreement for a fixed term period of more than six months and up to three years.
The Long term global staff agreement procedure helps ensure that:
- All parties of the long term global agreement are clear about their roles and responsibilities
- Personal and commercial risk is minimised
- Staff are suitably prepared
- Staff are provided with support to assist them in their host location; and
- Costs are considered in all cases.
This procedure is to be utilised by all RMIT University staff in Australia, where a staff member is, or plans to, undertake work internationally on behalf of RMIT University and its controlled entities for a fixed term period of more than six months and up to three years.
The terms and conditions included in this procedure are a guide only, and do not constitute a contractual entitlement for the staff member. Specific terms and conditions will be considered and communicated to the staff member for each long term global agreement.
This procedure does not apply if:
- There are specific arrangements already in place (e.g. fellowships) which are governed by the terms and conditions of their funding.
- An RMIT University staff member in Australia is undertaking work outside Australia during periods of leave such as research leave (academic staff), leave without pay or sabbatical leave (Vocational Education and Training staff).
- An RMIT University staff member in Australia proactively applies for an offshore position with another RMIT University entity or an RMIT University partner.
- Staff members are recruited in the location where the international work is to be undertaken.
- Staff members are employed by an institution other than RMIT University as part of a partnership agreement with RMIT University.
Procedure steps and actions
1. Long term global agreement
For the duration of the global agreement, the staff member remains an employee of RMIT University in Australia. The staff member is assigned to the host location for a fixed term period of more than six months and up to three years.
The employment arrangement for continuing staff with RMIT University in Australia remains in place for the duration of the global agreement, however, the staff member will be on leave without pay from their position with RMIT University in Australia. For fixed term and casual staff the long term global agreement will replace the existing employment arrangement.
Prior to commencement Human Resources need to be contacted to put in place an appropriate employment arrangement for the long term global agreement detailing all employment terms applicable for the relevant period.
The global agreement cannot commence until the official offer or transfer paperwork has been signed by the staff member, the host manager, the home line manager (where required), and the applicable delegated authority.
2. Pre-arrangement
Hiring process
Recruitment, selection and direct appointment processes will be managed in accordance with RMIT University's Recruitment and Induction policy.
Budget / costing approvals
A budget, setting out costing for the global agreement will need to be prepared and approved by the college/portfolio/school prior to the global agreement commencing. Human Resources should be contacted to assist with the projected cost of the relevant employment arrangement.
Arrangements for expenditure of monies associated with the global agreement should be set up in accordance with RMIT University's Financial Policies and Procedures. As part of these arrangements a nominated person should be authorised to approve financial transactions associated with the global agreement.
Tax implications of the global agreement for RMIT University should also be assessed before the global agreement commences. The cost of obtaining any required advice will be charged to the applicable RMIT University entity or college/portfolio/school and sourced by Human Resources.
Employment Arrangement
Before leaving Australia, the staff member will be provided with an employment arrangement clearly outlining the terms and conditions of the global agreement. This may include, but is not limited to, the following:
The fixed term employment arrangement will be confirmed in writing and subject to the staff member meeting and complying with the necessary immigration, visa and work permit requirements.
Where required, the staff member will receive a formal orientation and job briefing (with a position description). The Staff Member will also be given information on relevant policies, procedures, and the agreement conditions applicable. The host manager will provide the staff member with information about the host location, safety and emergency procedures and contacts in the host location.
Human Resources will coordinate cultural awareness preparation, including information about the culture and traditions of the host location if applicable. This will assist the staff member in preparing for the global agreement and in raising awareness of the behaviours expected in the host location.
Dependent accompanying family members may also be provided with the appropriate briefings if applicable.
Passports, Visas and Permits
RMIT University will provide assistance to the staff member in obtaining any visa / work rights in the host location as required. RMIT University requires staff members to fully comply with all immigration laws in their respective home and host locations. Work outside of Australia on behalf of RMIT University must not be undertaken by a staff member without obtaining the necessary travel documents and liaising with Human Resources to ensure their visa and contract terms are coordinated in advance.
It is the staff member's responsibility to ensure they (and any accompanying family members) have a passport that is valid for at least 12 months after their expected return date to Australia, and that they have a sufficient number of free pages in their passport. All costs associated with obtaining and / or renewing passports for the purposes of complying with this will be the individual staff member's responsibility.
RMIT University will meet the cost of any visas, work and / or residence permits and other such documents required for the staff member for the purpose of the global agreement. The staff member will be responsible for completing the appropriate forms and providing relevant and accurate information to the required parties. Please note Visa/Work Permit options may limit the time in which the staff member can be located in the host location and therefore the length of the arrangement.
3. Remuneration
RMIT University aims to ensure that a staff member is not financially disadvantaged as a result of undertaking a global agreement. The staff member's remuneration package will be determined based on a number of factors.
Payment of Salary
Human Resources will advise the staff member of how their salary will be paid. Payment will be made via the RMIT University Australia payroll where possible. Payment via a foreign payroll in the host location, and in the relevant foreign currency, may be required in order to meet legislative requirements in the host location.
Australian superannuation contributions may be maintained as per current home location entitlements. Please note that the potential tax benefits that can arise through superannuation salary sacrificing arrangements will not necessarily apply in the host location. As such, any superannuation salary sacrificing arrangements will cease from the commencement of a global agreement.
Staff members may require personal financial advice to discuss any individual financial implications that may arise where superannuation is maintained in Australia for the duration of their global agreement. Please note that each staff member's circumstances may vary and staff should seek their own advice.
Incremental salary progression
Incremental progression of the staff member's salary with RMIT University in Australia will apply in line with the RMIT Professional and Academic Staff Enterprise Agreement.
Cost of Living
A cost of living allowance (COLA) may be provided if the cost of living is deemed to be higher in the host location than in Australia. Human Resources will review the host and home location differences and determine if a COLA is applicable and if so the relevant amount of the allowance.
4. Taxation
Tax is an important issue to consider for all global agreements, and employer and employee tax obligations should be clarified before the appointment is finalised. The tax implications may affect the duration of the global agreement and structure of the remuneration package. The staff member should not be disadvantaged from a tax perspective as a result of undertaking a global agreement.
Taxation Briefing
For global agreements that are for a fixed term duration of more than six months, it is common that the staff member may have a tax obligation in the host location. The staff member will be provided with independent expert tax advice by RMIT University's preferred tax provider on any taxation implications that may arise in Australia (pre departure consultation) and the host location (post arrival consultation).
Tax return assistance in Australia and the host country may also be provided by RMIT University's approved tax provider if required.
5. Health & safety and insurance
Health & Safety
The staff member and their dependent accompanying family members should undertake a medical briefing and health check before departure to the host location. This is to determine the staff member's medical fitness for the global agreement, to allow time for any medically recommended vaccinations to be completed and to provide relevant and necessary information concerning health / medical conditions in the host location.
A staff member with a pre-existing medical condition will require medical clearance to travel and work internationally, a letter from the staff member's GP will need to be provided to Human Resources. Any medical treatment required for an existing condition should be completed prior to the commencement of the long term global agreement.
At completion of the global agreement, the staff member and their accompanying family members are encouraged to undergo a return health check.
RMIT University will reimburse the cost of all health checks and necessary vaccinations for the staff member and their accompanying family members of up to $500 per person for both pre and post agreement expenses upon submission of relevant receipts.
Overseas travel and health insurance
RMIT University will provide expatriate health insurance cover for an employee and their accompanying family members, when travelling with them, for long term global agreements (greater than 6 months). The cover will be maintained via RMIT University's preferred supplier, the cost of which will be charged to the applicable RMIT entity or school/department.
The staff member will be provided with an application form and information pack.
If the staff member or accompanying family members require emergency assistance whilst the staff member is engaged on a global agreement, they should contact International SOS RMIT University's provider of 24 hour advice and assistance for medical, security or other emergencies.
Work Cover Insurance
Work cover insurance requirements will be reviewed on a case by case basis to ensure adequate coverage for the staff member.
6. Travel
Travel to and from the overseas location
RMIT University will pay for all travel costs to and from the overseas location in accordance with RMIT University's Travel policy.
7. Household effects and additional support
Household Effects
Reasonable and essential household and / or personal effects at an agreed quantity may be transported from the staff members home address to the host location, and back to the home address upon the staff member's repatriation at RMIT University's expense.
Items of unusual size, weight or nature such as motor vehicles, boats and pianos are specifically excluded. RMIT University will not pay for any costs incurred in relocating pets.
Guidelines for volume of household removal
Where a staff member is eligible to have essential household and / or personal effects transported at RMIT University's expense to their host location, they will be eligible for the effects to be transported by either ship or airfreight.
Guidelines for each option are provided below:
Volume of removal (Ship)
Airfreight weight
200 – 300kg
20m3 + 5m3 per dependant
Competitive quotes for a door-to-door transportation service and insurance will be obtained through RMIT University's preferred removals management supplier.
Removal Insurance will cover all household items except jewellery. Items of particular value (e.g. collectables, wine, antiques, etc) may need to be insured separately and will need to be brought to the attention of the removals management supplier during the quotation process. Any additional cost of insuring such valuable items will be borne by the staff member. Also, where the goods exceed the approved volume, the additional cost will be borne by the staff member and payment will need to be made directly to the removal management supplier. RMIT University will not cover the transport cost of pets or vehicles.
Please note that goods should not be shipped until any required visa / work permit documentation and employment arrangement has been obtained.
Customs and Duties
RMIT University will pay customs and other duties applying to effects which are transported as part of the global agreement. This will cover such costs incurred both at the start and end of the global agreement, and does not normally include items purchased whilst on the global agreement.
Relocation Allowance
A one-off relocation allowance may be paid to the staff member to compensate them for miscellaneous expenses that will be incurred in moving to the host location and not otherwise provided for elsewhere in this procedure.
Payment will be made to the staff member before their global agreement commences in accordance with the following amounts:
Storage of Goods
RMIT University may reimburse reasonable storage expenses for personal belongings remaining in Australia (exclusions may apply).
8. Accommodation
Temporary Accommodation
If permanent accommodation has not been secured prior to the staff member's global agreement commencing, RMIT University Australia will pay for the cost of temporary accommodation for a period of two weeks or until permanent housing is secured whichever is earlier.
Such temporary accommodation will be of a standard deemed reasonable and which would be expected in Australia under similar circumstances. RMIT University will also assist the staff member to find suitable housing in the host location if required.
Permanent Accommodation
An ongoing contribution to the cost of permanent accommodation in the host location may be provided to the staff member up to an agreed amount. The staff member is responsible for securing bonds, complying with the terms applicable to the accommodation (or other appropriate terms and conditions), including ensuring that the accommodation is left in a high standard of cleanliness, upon vacating the accommodation.
It is the staff member's responsibility to make necessary arrangements for any property held in the home location during the agreement and arrange suitable accommodation at the end of the agreement.
9. Vehicle / Transport
The need for a vehicle for the long term global agreement will be assessed on a case by case basis. In some locations it is not necessary, practical or safe to provide a motor vehicle.
RMIT University will therefore take into consideration a number of options such as:
If the staff member decides to purchase a car in their host location it will be at their own individual cost and responsibility.
10. Leave
Public holidays
A staff member on a global agreement will be entitled to take any public holidays applicable in their host location.
Leave Entitlement
A staff member on a global agreement will be entitled to the annual leave entitlements of the host location.
The global agreement will count as continuous service for long service and sick leave purposes at RMIT University in Australia. It will be expected that annual leave accrued during the global agreement period will be taken during the global agreement period.
Sick Leave
Accrual of sick leave entitlements will be in line with the staff member's host location policy.
Settling in / out leave
Staff members will be provided with paid leave to:
(i) Move out of their home accommodation and settle into their host location; and
(ii) Return to RMIT University in Australia at the end of the global agreement (if applicable).
The duration of the settling in / out leave will normally be up two days but may be extended based on specific requirements of the staff member and the global agreement.
Emergency / compassionate leave
In the event of a serious illness or death of an immediate family member (including the spouse's immediate family), or other serious emergency situation, RMIT University will provide the staff member with three days of compassionate leave and return tickets to Australia (including accompanying family members). Depending on the circumstances this may be negotiated.
Home visit
For long term global agreements of a period of more than 12 months, the University will cover the cost of an economy return ticket to Australia once every 12 months for the staff member and their dependant accompanying family members. For the duration of the home visit staff members should use annual leave and no additional leave days will be provided. Where possible the home leave should be combined with a business trip to Australia.
Security / Language training / Cross-cultural training / Orientation
Depending on the host location, length of the global agreement and subject to approval by RMIT University, orientation, security briefings, language training and cross-cultural training may be provided in Australia prior to departure to the host location. Please contact Human Resources to assist with arrangements. An orientation briefing may also be provided upon arrival in the host location.
The extent of security / language training / cross-cultural training / orientation provided will dependent on the staff member's familiarity with the host location.
Depending on the length of the global agreement, and subject to negotiation with RMIT University, an orientation visit may be approved for the staff member and any dependant accompanying family members.
11. Arrangement extensions
In the event that an extension to a long term global agreement is being considered a discussion with Human Resources is required to review any tax or visa implications or restrictions. Once approved by the delegated authority an addendum to the employment arrangement will be issued to the staff member outlining any revised or additional terms and conditions.
12. Termination conditions
A global agreement may need to be terminated early due to factors outside either the staff member, or RMIT University's, control. In this case, if the staff member returns to Australia, all efforts will be made to place the staff member in an appropriate position in line with the classification and role undertaken prior to the commencement long term global agreement.
Termination of contract by staff member
If the global agreement is terminated at the request of the staff member, the staff member may be liable to repay the relocation costs in accordance with the staff member's employment arrangement. This will be in line with the following scale, which is based on a three year contract:
In the event a staff member's resignation, the University retains the right to not pay for the staff member and their accompanying family members return to Australia.
Early termination of Global Agreement
In the event of termination (excluding serious misconduct) of the long term global agreement by RMIT University, RMIT University will relocate the staff member and their accompanying family members back to Australia in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined in the staff member's employment arrangement.
A global agreement may need to be terminated early due to factors outside either the staff member or RMIT University's control (e.g. civil unrest or a natural disaster). In this case, if the staff member returns to Australia, all efforts will be made to place the staff member in an appropriate position.
13. Repatriation
RMIT University will provide the following on completion, or early termination of the fixed term employment arrangement:

Booming Rental Income
- If the homeownership rate is at a 20-year low then the renting rate must be at a 20-year high. One consequence of this trend is a significant rise in rental income across the country. The total rental income of everyone combined has more than tripled in the past seven years.
- The total rental income grew by a whopping 240 percent from 2007 to today. This gain arose from more renter households and rising rents. By contrast, the overall salaries and wages of everyone combined grew by 17 percent – due largely to more job creation and from some wage boost. The comparison clearly implies a much better time for landlords as opposed to wage earners.
- Looking at other income categories, unemployment insurance payments have sharply fallen. More jobs have also meant fewer people on the public dole. Farm income has been shaved by a third in the past year as crop prices have fallen. Alert: agricultural land prices could be vulnerable to a meaningful correction if farm income continues to fall.
- Most REALTORS® are not forking over higher rents. That's because 86 percent of members are homeowners. Because real estate is their life, 46 percent of REALTORS® also own rental properties. Some REALTORS® specialize principally in property management, and among those who do they managed 49 properties on average in 2012. The three most commonly reported tasks of property managers were selecting tenants, taking tenant applications, and collecting rent.
- The continuing fall in the homeownership rate is not good for the country on many levels. However, for business people, they have to follow the money and the rental income is where the action is. An owner of a rental property, if history is a guide, can expect rents to have doubled in 20 years while mortgage payments (if financed at fixed rate) to have not risen at all.
Over the last five years, not only have landlords seen their mortgage payments stabilize, they've actually been able to reduce them quite a bit. Thank you, low interest rates. It is helpful that Fannie Mae has returned to allowing the maximum of 10 mortgage properties. Other providers will allow even more.
As an investor in real estate, you must look at the prospective property like those buying a commercial property. Do the numbers work? There are still some pricing real estate areas in the country where rents are quite a bit lower than the mortgage, taxes and insurance. You will be underwater as an investor in these areas for many years, shelling out more than you're taking in.
Have a savvy mortgage lender help you breakdown the numbers to determine if your area is right to make this investment. Yes, lower your risk by buying in areas you know best.

First of all I don't consider this story to be "experimental". By that I mean I don't think it's doing anything new or innovative. I would say instead that the story is metafictional, but people have been writing metafiction for a long time. Maybe thirty or forty years ago a few people could pretend that metafiction was new and innovative, but I don't figure it's particularly daring now.I recently read Michael Moorcock's retrospective New Worlds anthology, and though only a few of the pieces within it seemed to have survived well the passage of time, I think the book itself is vital and valuable because it shows that not only are certain types of "experiments" not new, but they aren't new to science fiction or fantasy, either. The New Worlds anthology actually made me sad, because I thought that it demonstrated truly experimental writing (writing that is frequently interesting but seldom fully successful, writing that opens up new paths that later writing could follow), but most of the experiments were not followed up on, were not encouraged by the SF field in general, and so a tremendous amount of possibilities were lost. (This is, of course, a broad generalization.)
I don't think most SF readers, or most readers of any sort, are as inherently conservative in their taste as they often make themselves out to be. There will always be people on the fringes, people who say the only good books are ones written by Robert Heinlein, and other people who say no story that has a linear plot can possibly be of value, but I'm betting most of us fall somewhere in between those positions, and that most of us are open to new ideas and techniques if we can find a way to reconcile them with our current knowledge and desires. This is why what Doug is doing is so valuable -- he's taking the time to explain where he's coming from, and showing that his intentions are not at all self-indulgent, but that, rather, he saw no other way to write the story than the one he chose. And that the way he's writing is nothing new. Through these efforts, he's helping to bridge a gap between those of us who are very much interested in the sort of thing he and writers like him are doing, and readers who find such work alienating at first. Perhaps some of those readers will be convinced to give the work a second chance, and will then discover its wonders.
After reading what Doug had to say, I thought of the opening of a film review by James Agee, a review of two movies by Jean Vigo published in 1947 in The Nation and reprinted in Agee on Film. Put Doug Lain's name and the title of the story in place of Vigo's and the names of his films, and this becomes a generally accurate description of what you'll get if you head over to Strange Horizons:
If you regard all experiment as affectation and all that bewilders you as a calculated personal affront, and if you ask of art chiefly that it be easy to take, you are advised not to waste your time seeing Jean Vigo's Zero de Conduit and L'Atalante; go back to sleep, lucky Pierre, between the baker's wife and the well-digger's daughter, if you can squeeze in among the reviewers who have written so contemptuously of Vigo's work. If you regard all experiment as ducky, and all bewilderment as an opportunity to sneer at those who confess their bewilderment, and if you ask of art only that it be outre, I can't silence your shrill hermetic cries, or prevent your rush to the Fifth Avenue Playhouse; I can only hope to God I don't meet you there. If, on the other hand, you are not automatically sent either into ecstasy or catalepsy by the mere mention of avant-gardism, if your eye is already sufficiently open so that you don't fiercely resent an artist who tries to open it somewhat wider, I very much hope that you will see these films. I can't at all guarantee that you will like them, far less that you will enjoy and admire them as much as I do, for they are far too specialized. I can only be reasonably sure that you will find them worth seeing.I don't think "A Coffee Cup/Alien Invasion Story" is as engrossing or rich as Doug's story from last year, "Music Lessons", but it's certainly worth reading, and if you let yourself feel the connections between the different strands and fragments, the ending can be quite effective.
Metafiction can be annoying for people not accustomed to it, because much of the time we take the techniques of writing for granted, and so a writer who makes a point of highlighting exactly what they are up to can feel like a magician who reveals every trick. Done well, though, metafictional techniques can strengthen, broaden, and enrich a story, allowing both the original pleasures of illusion along with pleasures of thought, analysis, and peculiar estrangement. (For more on the subject, see Dan Green's introduction to American metafiction at his weblog, and John Barth's consideration of the parallels between two of the 20th century's great metafictionists-who-were-more-than-metafictionists, Jorge Luis Borges and Italo Calvino.)

Quote Eppy: Maybe Victor and Sharon had a secret meeting and Victor offered to buy her house in order for JT and Vikki to buy it from him...or, he asked her to sell it outright to them and he would arrange the financing...must have been what happened. Anyway, it looks like they will be moving there...it's too costly for Y&R to build another home set so they will continue to use Sharon's house. Hey, Mary had a nice house, apparently she's out of the picture, they could move there!!
I hate the way that they are skimping on the sets. I get tired of seeing Crimson Lights and NE breakroom. >)

Call for evidence for APPG inquiry on key populations and women and girls in middle-income and transitioning countries
The All-Party Parliamentary Group on HIV & AIDS recognises that a high proportion of people living with HIV live in middle-income countries (MICs) and the vast majority are projected to do so by 2020, coinciding with the UNAIDS 90-90-90 target deadline. In many middle-income countries, key populations and women and girls are disproportionately affected by HIV and AIDS, yet the Group has heard concerns from civil society that key populations and women and girls are being left behind by services as donor governments withdraw from middle-income countries. In the context of changing aid relationships between donor governments and MICs, the APPG is interested in how DFID and other UK Government departments are working with, and influencing, other stakeholders (Global Fund, private sector, other governments and philanthropic foundations) to ensure that all those most at risk have access to appropriate services to ensure countries are equipped to meet the UNAIDS 90-90-90 target.
1. What are the major barriers to access to services for key populations and women and girls in middle-income countries? Are there particular countries where these barriers are most acute? Is it possible to characterise these countries? How is DFID helping key populations to overcome these barriers?
2. What are the differences between the following types of countries in terms of the donor support available for their HIV and AIDS responses?:
a) Lower-income vs lower-middle income countries
b) Lower-middle-income countries and upper-middle income countries
3. What is the value of continued UK leadership in multilateral organisations?
4. In 2016, the UK Government recently announced a £1.1bn commitment to the Global Fund to fight HIV and AIDS, TB and malaria. What other forms of investment and support would best complement this investment? What aspects fall outside the remit of the Global Fund, particularly for key populations and women & girls?
5. DFID's 'Leave No One Behind' approach mentions women and girls and LGBT groups. How can the UK Government implement the 'Leave No One Behind' approach and SDG 10 in relation to key populations in middle-income and transitioning countries?
6. What has been the impact of withdrawal of bilateral and multilateral aid in middle-income countries? How did donors ensure that gains made through their investment were sustained? Where possible, please highlight both examples of best practice and challenges either from the UK Government or other donors.
7. What steps could be taken by the UK Government to ensure that as UK aid relationships change, key populations and women and girls continue to have access to HIV treatment and services? How can measures be put in place to achieve the highest standard of accessibility and services while ensuring public funds are most effectively spent?
8. How effective has the process of integrating HIV and AIDS into other programmes (such as SRHR and health-systems strengthening) been? What are the criteria for when HIV should be integrated and when it should not be integrated?
9. How has the UK Government planned for and implemented withdrawal of bilateral and multilateral aid in middle-income and/or transitioning countries to sustain the gains made? What documents are used to inform/guide this process?
10. How will Brexit impact on the UK's obligations and participation under EU joint action programmes and existing programming for HIV and AIDS both in the immediate EU neighbourhood and globally?
11. Given the US is a key player in overall global ODA spend, how should the UK Government use its influence to ensure continued engagement of senior ODA donors?
12. What role can be played by Government departments other than DFID to ensure that key populations and women and girls in middle-income countries continue to have access to HIV services?
13. Please share any other relevant information.

WASHINGTON — Amid discord over how to solve the nation's fiscal problems, key senators Sunday held out hope that a deal can be struck before Thursday's deadline to raise the debt ceiling, after which the federal government, already hobbled by a shutdown, could risk a default.
"I do believe we're going to see a resolution this week," said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), one of the leaders of a bipartisan Senate group that has tried to negotiate a solution to the shutdown of government agencies and the need to lift the debt limit.
"We're going to keep working and offer our ideas to the leadership," she said on CNN's "State of the Union"
A plan by Collins would have raised the federal debt limit through Jan. 31, funded federal agencies through March and made minor changes to President Obama's healthcare law. Senate Democratic leaders have not accepted Collins' proposal although Senate aides say some elements of it could figure in a final deal.

What is the Holistic Dog site?
Holistic Dog is a community of like-minded folks who are interested in natural, non-chemical treatments of their pets' ailments, and keep them in good health.
"The Holistic Dog" e-mail list on Yahoo dates back to January 4, 2001, following a post on the Sibernet-L list about the miraculously successful treatment of tumors with flaxseed oil and cottage cheese.
The Holistic Dog list offers advice on how-to's and what-not's with a membership of about 600+, many longterm members who have an incredible amount of experience and knowledge about the common ailments, and even the not-so-common diseases. With the advent of Facebook the members have migrated to our Facebook page, which was established May 7, 2012.
The content of this site came together thanks to reader contributions and partial research of my own. If you have used herbs or supplements or other natural measures to treat one of your animal's conditions that you don't find on this site, please feel free to join the list or our Facebook page and share your experience.
Holistic Dog supports Chewy.com as retailer for dog food and dog accessories. Chewy.com actively supports shelter dogs and the people who help them, as I have learned just recently. (Read more)

You should take protein and creatine as your key supplements or a Weight Gainer product if you want to gain maximum mass. Take a whey protein shake 2 to 3 times per day with one serving being just before your Halo immediately after training and take creatine monohydrate powder or a creatine tablet (like Creakic or Creadex). Start off taking 4 servings per day for the first 5 days and thereafter take 1 to 2 servings per day (2 on training days and 1 on non-training days). To gain mass at the fastest rate, you can either do the Nitro/Cell stack (Nitro 3 times per day and Cell-Tech twice on training days and once on non-training days - always take one serving of Nitro immediately, followed by Cell-Tech right after training) OR you can use a weight gainer like Mutant Mass (along with powdered creatine) or Mass-Tech or Muscle Fuel Anabolic (which already contain creatine). If your diet is good (high in calories and protein), go with the Nitro/Cell stack, if your diet isn't so good, go with one of the mass gainers - start off with 2 to 3 scoops twice daily and increase until you are gaining the desired amount of weight per week (1/2 to 2 kilos).
I've has USN muscle fuel anabolic a couple of times now after switching from the hyperbolic mass. I much prefer this shake because it makes me less bloated and gives me the same amount of protein as opposed to hyperbolic. I find that it's much easier to have a 2/3 of these without feeling too bloated or sick, whereas with hyperbolic mass I found myself not wanting to eat food . I use it mid-morning between breakfast and lunch as a snack, and then lost workout or as a mid afternoon snack if I can't get to the gym, I find that it digests really easily and I can eat all my other meals throughout the day as well so overall it's a fantastic shake and it puts size on well.

Jury awards $9M in penalty phase of Vioxx trial
The punitive phase of the latest Vioxx liability trial ended with a jury awarding $9 million to a man who had a heart attack while taking the drug. The New Jersey jury found that Merck misled the FDA about the painkiller's heart risks. The penalty adds to the $4.5 million in compensatory damages the jury awarded to plaintiff John McDarby in the first phase of the case, bringing the total to $13.5 million. Last week the jury determined McDarby's heart attack was caused by Vioxx and that Merck did not properly warn of Vioxx's cardiovascular risks. It also found that Merck violated the state's consumer fraud law. The second phase focused on whether Merck withheld information about Vioxx's safety risks, or misrepresented it, and what, if any, punitive damages the drug firm should pay. In a statement, Merck said it will appeal the punitive and compensatory verdicts. The two plaintiffs in the trial were the first to have allegedly taken Vioxx for longer than 18 months. The jury rejected the claim of the other plaintiff, Thomas Cona, that Vioxx caused his heart attack. It did not consider punitive damages for Cona. Merck has lost two trials and won two.
