Lunch Club LA has been all over Los Angeles. We've gone to Sherman Oaks, Santa Monica, Westwood - even Silverlake! - but it was about time to head to DTLA, Downtown Los Angeles. We decided upon Bäco Mercat for this week's lunchtime adventure by recommendation of our CMO, Austin LaRoche. Recognized in magazines like GQ, bon appetit, and Food & Wine, Bäco Mercat was well worth the trip!
Bäco Mercat is known for their signature flatbread sandwich called the "baco," which is a thick pita-type bread, a play on the Spanish type of pizza called, "coca." Most of the table ordered the baco sandwiches and the rest decided on pizza. The baco soaked up the juices from the meats and sauces so not a drop of delicious flavor went to waste.
We also made some new friends today at Lunch Club LA. Our new buddy Pankaj introduced the table to the fascinating world of intellectual property law and trademark law, while our friends from Hoopla Promo, Brian and Chris, gave us a rundown on the new promotional items on trend this summer. Our pals Shehan and Gary from the world of Finance both enjoyed their first trip to Lunch Club, and our IT expert Aramis came to his second outing with us.
While we've had some great lunch clubs recently, our visit to Bäco Mercat really shined strong. The staff was very accommodating to our large group and made sure we were well taken care of.

Hello hello!
I am back with my promised hehee here is my take for the face paint of Mortal Kombat "SCORPION"
This face paint is super easy and yes, if you are looking or gathering looks for the upcoming halloween here is one of them :*
All you need are:
-face paint
-eyshadow but mostly face paint.
Lets begin!
1. Lets do the eyebrow and the eye look first! Make the eyebrow bold and shaped by using a black face paint *or you could use the eyebrow pencil, I recommend Viva eyebrow pencil in black*
Then with a yellow eyeshadow, apply it all over the eyelids. Just a plain yellow eyeshadow!
Next, take a gel or liquid eyeliner and create a visible and bold wing eyeliner.
2. Once the brow and eyes are done, lets paint the head band.
Take a black face paint and paint it over the fore head, yes paint it in black and make sure it is equally black. Once the black paint is dry, take a white face paint and do long and short strokes of lines to give the illusion of clothe.
3. Moving on to the mask, this is a more complicated part so lets be patience.
The a pencil eyeliner or a black face paint, whichever you prefer, then draw the outline of the mask like shown in the picture. Fill it with yellow paint.
Once it is dry, create 2 lines below the nostril until your chin.
4. Take a gold eyeshadow or face paint but I am using a gold eyeshadow in this tutorial, colored the sides of your nostril, down the cupid's bow towards the bottom of your chin.
Then with a black face paint, draw a triangle in the middle of the nose.
5. Take a white face paint and create another frames inside the mask. Then colored it in with gold and black eyeshadow to give dimension of metal and rust.
6. On the side, with a white face paint, draw a square edge line.
Use the gold eyeshadow slightly above the white eyeliner.
Then with the same eyeshadow, fill in the space within the white line to create a dent. Apply a dark eyeshadow on the edge along the white line to give dimension.
7. Do the same on the opposite side! and you are done :)

Deerfield Beach — Two weeks ago Janaina Reis, 17, preened for a camera in a local beauty contest, a confident hand on her hip, flaunting a two-piece outfit in the green and gold of her native Brazil.
On Sunday the Pompano Beach teenager's parents were planning a funeral. Her new boyfriend sat behind bars, charged with premeditated murder after detectives say he fired at Reis' head in broad daylight as she sat at a picnic table.
And the tight-knit Brazilian community in north Broward County struggled with how such a bright young life could be snuffed out completely in a single moment.
The boyfriend, Juan Rafael Arrieta-Rolon, 22, lives in the gated Water's Edge condominium complex where Reis died, about a mile north of Sample Road in southern Deerfield Beach. He was in custody as soon as deputies responded to the scene at 5 p.m. Saturday and eventually confessed to the crime, said Broward Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright.
"He offered no explanation," Coleman-Wright said Sunday. "He walked up to her, grabbed the gun from his waistband and pulled the trigger."
Reis had been sitting at the picnic table near the pool at the entrance of Water's Edge with her friend Fernanda Gomez. When deputies arrived, both Arrieta-Rolon and Gomez said they heard gunshots and then saw Reis bleeding.
Back at Sheriff's Office headquarters, investigators separated Gomez from Arrieta-Rolon. Her story changed.
Gomez identified Arrieta-Rolon as the killer.
"She said she was scared of him," Coleman-Wright said.
Arrieta-Rolon is being held without bail. He is a Puerto Rican native who moved to Florida about six months ago, Coleman-Wright said. He lived in Water's Edge with his uncle and occasionally stayed with friends in a building near the back of the complex.
The uncle drove away from the condominium on a motorcycle Sunday afternoon and could not be reached for comment. Arrieta-Rolon's friends, who declined to identify themselves, questioned the charges.

Red Cardinal Flower – Lobelia Cardinalis
The Many Attributes Of The Red Cardinal Flower
Red cardinal flowers, also known as Lobelia cardinalis, thrive in warm weather and moist, fertile soils. Cardinal flowers have numerous positive attributes and are an excellent planting for summer gardens and landscapes. Here are few of the plant's noteworthy features:
Colorful Blooms
Cardinal flowers' red blooms are vibrant. They pair well with other primary colors like blue and green. Choose moisture-loving companion plants like ferns or yellow coreopsis. Since cardinal flowers are lush and dense, they form colorful beds that are certain to delight.
Sweet Nectar
Hummingbirds are drawn to cardinal flowers' red blooms and stay for the flowers' sweet nectar. Swallow-tailed butterflies also make an appearance. Fortunately, deer do not appreciate cardinal flowers and stay away. For those interested in attracting bees and other pollinators, this brilliant flower will welcome many visitors to your garden.
Easy Planting and Maintenance
Cardinal flowers spread by seed and by offsets. After a few seasons, you will have a full bed of cardinal flowers. To speed the process, shake a few flower stalks over moist soils to spread seed. Keep leaf litter and other yard debris clear of the growing area to prevent damage to offsets. When healthy, offsets clump together to create stands of towering cardinal flowers.
The plants reach between two and four feet in height. They bloom from mid-summer until early autumn. They prefer shade but can withstand full sun if they receive plenty of water. Gardeners and landscapers choose this plant when creating textured height and accents along foundations. In these locations, cardinal flowers can enjoy both shade and water run-off.
Multiple Garden Uses
Cardinal flower growers have found success by planting the flowers in water gardens, shade gardens, wildlife gardens and near irrigation spouts. Cardinal flowers can be placed in containers, but they will need frequent watering. However, they make an eye-catching specimen on balconies and patios.
The red cardinal flower is a beautiful plant for butterfly and hummingbird gardens. The Red cardinal flower will grow great in very moist soil and an extremely wet area. The Red cardinal plant will produce vibrant red flowers which will attract the hummingbirds. This plant will also attract butterflies to its red blossoms. The flowers that are provided by this plant will last for several weeks, usually in July and on into September.

Capitol High has hired another former quarterback as its head football coach.
Damieon Mills, who played for the Lions from 1991-95, was hired earlier this week as the school began plans for the reformation of its football program.
"I couldn't turn this job down, and that's the bottom line," Mills said. "Capitol is home. The chance to try and help restore the school and the program to what it was when I played is something I take seriously.
"I know it won't be easy. But I'm excited about being back in Baton Rouge. I'm already working to get in touch with the kids we have enrolled."
The 34-year-old Mills succeeds another former Capitol quarterback, Chadwick Germany, who was hired as an assistant coach at Southern University earlier this month.
The hiring of Mills was announced during a Wednesday meeting during which the school's new principal, Onetha Albert, announced the school will go back to its original name, Capitol High, instead of Capitol High Academy and will be one school for boys and girls instead of separate schools.
An enrollment of 160 is projected for the school, which will be run by the state-run Recovery School District. The Lions will again be a Class 2A school and will be part of District 7-2A though its current enrollment is comparable to a 1A school.
Mills spent last season as head coach at Class 1A South Plaquemines. He led the Hurricanes to the Class 1A semifinals and a 10-4 record in the fall and left the school in January.
Mills returned to the Fort Pierce, Fla., area where he previously served as offensive coordinator at Westwood High. He was coordinating youth football camps before being picked for the Capitol job.
Mills played quarterback for longtime Capitol coach Roman Bates and then went on to a California junior college. After taking two years off from school, he spent two seasons as a wide receiver-quarterback at West Virginia Tech.
In 2002, Mills started his coaching career at West Virginia Tech as a wide receivers coach. He was briefly head basketball coach at Buras High in 2005 before Hurricane Katrina.
Mills was out of coaching until the fall of 2006, when he returned to West Virginia Tech as offensive coordinator-associate head coach. He moved to Westwood High in Fort Pierce in 2008.
"This is going to be a challenge," Mills said. "I'm willing to do whatever I can to make Capitol like it was when coach Bates was here."
Stewart, who coached Mills in basketball from 1991-95, noted, "We feel good about getting Damieon for this job. He is a connection to this school and the program, which is something we need."

Crazy Craze Study
Now that DS Supps Craze has been pulled from the market (or at least mostly pulled) some new research has been published regarding it's contents. Patrick Arnold first reported it contained some form of methamphetamine calling it N-ethyl-a-ethyl-phenethylamine (or N,alpha-diethylbenzeneethanamine and N-ethyl-1-phenyl-2-butylamine and N,alpha-DEPEA). The controversy has developed over time which eventually led to a USA Today expose on the owner of DS Supps Matt Cahill and his shady history. DS Supps continues to claim innocence, even after considerable evidence suggested otherwise. Then hit news that the positive drug tests were a result of N-ethyl-a-ethyl-phenethylamine or "ETH" found in DS Supps Craze. Last I checked DS Supps was still claiming Craze contains no illegal or banned substances not listed on the label. Let's look at the newest DS Supps Crazy study.
University of Mississippi Craze Study
This month, the University of Mississippi published a new Craze study [1]. The study results were concluded as follows:
- Of all the products analyzed, only Craze powder and Detonate capsules contained ETH
- All products analyzed were negative for NDP.
- Craze, Detonate and Assault contain some levels of PEA.
- The presence of ETH in some performance-enhancing dietary supplements, not identified on the label, could explain the positive drug tests for ETH that resulted in the banning of some athletes from international competition.
To add they found that in four of the five tested lots of Craze they found ETH in the range of 4.27 mg's to 8.5 mg's per gram of Craze powder. Notably batch number 1206418 (expiry date of 06/15 purchased from supplementwarehouse.com) contained no detectable amounts of ETH. The batches containing ETH included:
- 1211372 – Expiry 11/15 purchased from Sports Nutrition Superstore
- 1305127 – Expiry 5/16 purchased from Health Designs International
- 1211369 – Expiry 11/15 purchased from Tiger Fitness
- 1204134 – Expiry 04/15
Notably the study was funded by long time Cahill nemesis and competitor Ron Kramer of Thermolife.
DS Supps Craze Study – Paid for by DS Supps
Let's now fast forward to a study published December 26th from The Center for Applied Health Sciences which is a for profit group of scientists hired by DS Supps to complete a Craze study on safety. The study was summarized in the abstract as follows (MPP = Craze):
"MPP supplementation for 6 weeks did not improve dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) measured of body composition or objective assessments of exercise performance. Overall, MPP use and administration was well tolerated. Self-reported scores for energy and concentration were significantly greater. Over a six week training and supplementation period, MP was not associated with improvements in performance or body composition."
Cool story bro, right? Basically it acted much like any amphetamine would, or a good cup of coffee. Except for the fact that it was compared to an isocaloric drink that contained the same amount of caffeine, So Dendrobium actually made for better energy and concentration.
The good part of this study was where they tested two Craze lots to determine if the ingredients in Craze actually matched the label claims. There was an acute study in men, as well as a chronic (6 weeks) study. The batch numbers used were as follows:
- 1208079 – Expiry 08/15
- 1202485 – Expiry unknown
The authors stated the found no detection of any amphetamines or controlled substances, and in addition no detection of N-α-diethylphenylethylamine.
The first thing you will note is that neither batch was a batch that was also tested in the University of Mississippi Crazy study (how convenient). And we know from that same study that there are some batches that do not contain ETH and possibly no N,alpha-DEPEA. Also notable is that the two batches for this study were provided to the researchers by DS Supps. So unfortunately, unlike the University of Mississippi study a proper chain of command was not followed. The bias is clear here, and even though employees of DS Supps did not perform the study, they impacted the results as soon as they donated the product. This essentially means the DS Supps Craze study is bullshit. It's similar to the heat Patrick Arnold faced when he initially tested Craze, and just like then, a poor chain of command cannot be ignored.

Study To Explore Aust Horse Transportation Issues
A new study into horse transportation issues and practices in Australia has been announced. Barbara Paladino is a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Veterinary Science at the University of Sydney. As part of her PhD on the topic of equine transportation, she and her supervisors (Dr Gary Muscatello, Dr Pietro Celi, Prof Sharanne Raidal and Prof Leo Jeffcott) are distributing a survey to collect data on horse transportation practices and transport-related illnesses in Australia. Most of the existing research on equine transportation has only been conducted in countries outside of Australia, and Paladino says she believes that the problems arising in Australia could be different to those in Europe. Australian horse owners, trainers, breeders and organizations are invited to complete an online 10 minute survey if they have transported horses within the past two years. "We are particularly interested in any diseases that have occurred to your horses in order to document and investigate underlying potential reasons behind these events," commented Paladino. "The aim of the study is to gather data to identify transportation risk factors, and therefore potentially make horse transportation safer and less stressful. To achieve this, we need the 'real world' input of Australian equine industry members." The survey can be accessed here:

Rigging and Anatomy
Understanding anatomy is essential when you are rigging a character. Everything from where you place the joints in the character to how you weight them should all take anatomy into consideration.
Sometimes in the CG world this can be a challenging process. More often than not there is no real life counterpart to the character that you are working on. So how should it move? One of the fun things about being a Creature TD is bringing the character to life and figuring all of that out. After reading this, you should have a general idea of the process.
Once your character is modeled, the outside anatomical structure is fairly obvious. It's really just a matter of getting in there and making it move. One of the first things you do when rigging a character is make your joints. Proper joint placement is essential. You need to figure out the underlying skeleton of the character you're working with. How does it move? What kind of joint would that be, a hinge, or a ball joint? Where should the joint go? These are all questions you should ask yourself when figuring out how to place your joints.
[an error occurred while processing this directive]
You can find a good amount of reference in human and animal anatomy books. Of course, for humans, there's no better reference than yourself. Stand in front of a mirror and move around. Watch your skin as it slides over the muscle and fat. You'd be surprised just how many parts are moving in order for you to do a simple task such as raising your hand in the air.
You also want to make sure you're placing enough joints in the character for the particular part you wish to have move. For example, I have seen quite a few rigs with only one joint for the shoulder. A closer look at the human anatomy will reveal that just one joint is not nearly sufficient enough. There's the bone that runs along the outer edge from your collar to your shoulder, the clavicle, and then there's the scapula, a large bone in your mid back that runs upward to connect to your shoulder. These two are then weaved together with muscles and tendons that also incorporate the ball joint in your arm. So, just by looking at that, it should immediately become apparent that just one joint will not give you all the movement you need.
This brings me to another good point. When you're making that many joints, you still only need one control for all of them. They should essentially be automated so that when an animator raises the shoulder control the entire system follows accordingly. Things can begin to get tricky as you try to figure out how to connect everything together, so try to plan out how it will all work before you actually make it.
This is just one of many examples of what studying anatomy will reveal when you start rigging a character. The goal is to be accurate, but also to be practical so that an animator can quickly pose the character.
Keep in mind too of how your character was modeled when you're placing joints. Is there a bend in the arm? Is the back hunched over? Are the knees bent or straight? You should make your joints according to how the model was built. Accommodate any slight differences, such as bent knees, by drawing the joint chain at an angle as opposed to straight down.
It might be a good exercise to help you learn too. In fact, if you're interested in becoming a TD, knowing anatomy will help you in many ways, and it's a big plus on your resume.
You are now ready to finish your rig. Add in your IK handles, your controls, constraints, and anything else you might need to make it move. In my opinion, it is good practice to have a complete working rig before you ever begin skinning. You don't want to start weighting only to find out that something didn't work like you had planned, or that maybe the joints aren't where they're supposed to be. Any changes should be done beforehand.
Once your rig is complete, now is a good time to test it. Spend some time playing with the controls and make sure things are moving like you expect them to. If you find problems, fix them, and move on. Keep in mind the anatomy of the character you're working on. Does the character move like you want? Is there anything else you think you should add? If you can, try looking at video footage of a similar character moving around. If it's a fantasy creature, try to find animals with similar movements and watch footage of them in action. If you have access to local zoo, go visit and take your camera with you. Try to capture the movements of the animals and use them as reference.

Irresponsible Parents And College
When should parents be truthful with their children? Is that even up for question? It sure is, especially when it comes to college expectations.
Here's my latest fingernails-across-the-chalkboard story.
I met with parents and their daughter to discuss college. The daughter told me that she was applying Early Decision to an Ivy League college. When I asked how she justified her choice, I got this thoughtless answer: "I thought it was the right thing to do." When pressed for something more substantial, she said that everyone was really supporting her choice and that she could get in.
To make matters worse, her grades and test scores were less than what the school required. It was clear I was watching a reality show based on a fantasy. This student didn't have a snowball's chance of getting into her dream school. Even if she had the proper credentials, there was still a 94% chance of getting rejected.
To this student, reality was just a zit.
I turned my attention to the parents, and slowly the meeting started going downhill. I asked them both how they were going to pay for college. The mother, who has been out of work for two years, said that she was hoping to get a job that would pay for her daughter's education. If by chance the Ivy League school accepted this student, a school which was charging $60,000 a year, the father then disclosed that he only had enough money saved to pay for the first year.
I asked what he was hoping for. Yep...that his wife would find a job and that his daughter would go to her dream school.
I asked the daughter, "Did your father tell you that he only had enough money to pay for just one year of college?" She was never told.
In front of his daughter, I said to the father, "So you didn't tell your daughter she would have to drop out of college after the first year, you went along with all her teachers and friends telling her she could get into a Ivy League school, and you're hoping your wife finds a job to pay for her education."
"That about sums it up," he responded.
My sons once told me I was good at summing things up.
I asked the father, "Why are you being irresponsible? Your daughter was never told you couldn't afford what she wanted, that she won't be accepted at this college, that her mother might not find a job to pay for college. I don't get it."
The look on everyone's face was a stark admission (pun intended) of no planning, no realistic goals, and not enough money. In other words, this family was living in the world of delusion and in the classic fear of the unknown. This 17-year-old girl was, to say the least, misguided.
And this story is all too common.
If you don't have a plan, you have no direction. With no direction, there's no destination. With no destination, there is only fantasy, hope, and crossed fingers. Is this any foundation upon which to build our children's lives? Incredibly, I still have a good head of hair.
What's the takeaway? Too many parents aren't being honest with their kids. A teenager's dreams and hard work could easily turn to dust because a parent is irresponsible. I witnessed it up close, and it wasn't pretty. Before I left the conversation, the student was in tears.

General information
Scotland Island lies in Pittwater, not far from the mainland suburbs of Church Point and Bayview on the south. Across Pittwater to the West lies Kuring-gai Chase National Park and the Western Foreshore communities.
The island is one kilometre in diametre and .5 square kilometres in area or 52.5 square hectares, and is 120 metres above sea level at its highest point. The Spotted Gum (Eucalyptus maculata) forest, an Ecologically Endangered Community, covers most of the island.
Elizabeth Park, at the apex of the island, is a 6.8 hectare bushland reserve. Catherine Park, near Tennis Wharf, features a children's playground, a barbecue and several picnic tables.
There are four ferry stops on the island: Bells, Carols, Eastern, and Tennis. Cargo Wharf provides access for barge deliveries of vehicles and other heavy goods.
There are no shops or public toilets on the island. The public buildings are the Kindy, the Community Hall and the Fire Brigade.
There are an increasing number of vehicles on the island, but walking is the time-honoured method of transport.
Geology of the island
According to 'Scotland Island' in Wikipedia,
Around 18,000 years ago Scotland Island was a hill in a river valley. Following the last ice age, sea levels rose, flooding the valley, forming Pittwater and creating the island. There are many small beaches, consisting mainly of mud, mangroves and rocks. There are no rivers or cliffs, but some small caves towards the top of the island. The top of the island is sandstone and the lower part consists of shale.

Holi Phagwa also known as the Festival of Colors is celebrated every March in Suriname. It marks the victory of good over evil. It is a celebration where people (friends or strangers alike) smeared each other with different colors as a sign of love and belongingness.
In other Hindu tradition, it is a day for leaving the past and conflicts behind. It also signifies the coming of the new season, Spring and people symbolized it as a start of a new beginning.
Wear a white shirt. An old white t-shirt is the best choice. The powder colors are much more visible in white and you won't regret it if it gets stained. Avoid wearing dark-colored clothes because it is traditionally a sign of unhappiness and Holi is all about fun and joy.

Whats in my garden
5 comments:
Looks like your gardening has been very productive this year. The bean chutney sounds great, definitely your gain there!ReplyDelete
Had some beans tonight from a friend's garden, yummy. We don't grow any ourselves but your haul looks great well doneReplyDelete
I can't seem to find a good place to make a veggie garden, so I only grow herbs in pots. I really LOVE your greenhouse. The beans look fabulous, and the beautiful tomatoes, do too.ReplyDelete
A friend brought me a basket of her veggies on Monday. Nothing like veggies grown with love straight from the garden. Your greenhouse looks great. BarbxxReplyDelete
A very productive garden-we haven't grown any beans this year the first for a long time-we have a good crop of tomatoes and beetroot though and eggs from the chickens tooReplyDelete

Policy on Quality Teaching and Learning
For a complete printer friendly version of this document please [click here]
Understanding Quality Teaching
Effective Teaching
Understanding Quality Learning
Support for Teaching and Learning
Australian Catholic University shares with universities worldwide a commitment to high-quality teaching and learning, research and community engagement. It is aware that a key factor in its reputation as a higher education institution is its ability to excel in teaching and learning and to produce quality graduates. As part of its Mission the University declares its commitment to the centrality of teaching and learning. This Policy document articulates the broad principles underlying teaching and learning in the Catholic tradition at Australian Catholic University. These are that:
- teaching and learning attends to spiritual, moral, values and ethical perspectives - a key dimension within the University's curriculum. This includes attention to equity, developing awareness of multicultural and Indigenous issues, and sensitivity to social justice;
- academic staff and students are empowered to engage in teaching and learning which:
. meets professional accreditation needs;
. is critical, well informed, up-to-date with knowledge and research in the substantive disciplines, and innovative; and
. makes appropriate use of information and communications technologies;
- course and unit documentation, learning experiences and resources are systematically developed and used to support quality teaching and learning practice; and
- teaching and learning processes and outcomes are monitored and evaluated to maintain the focus on excellence, relevance and quality.
These principles provide the foundation for the University's Teaching and Learning Plan. The Plan formally commits the University to the maintenance and ongoing development of quality teaching and learning.
Staff are expected to abide by the University's Code of Ethics in Teaching, which articulates the principles of scholarly competence and engagement. It also provides the framework for scholarly respect for students, colleagues and the University, to shape relationships and interactions in which academic staff and students engage in teaching and learning.
Responsibility for monitoring the quality of teaching and learning resides in the Faculties. Within the framework of the University's Teaching and Learning Plan, each Faculty has a derivative Teaching and Learning Plan, which is updated annually and in which the procedures for ensuring quality in teaching and learning are described in detail, with the enhancement of learning the primary outcome of quality teaching.
Understanding Quality Teaching
In one sense, effective teaching is very easy to identify: it is what leads to effective learning. It is not as easy, however, to specify what particular approaches and techniques will produce this desired result. The literature on effective teaching in higher education stresses that there is no straightforward formula, no single way of helping people to learn. Students testify that they have learned well in a variety of contexts, from a variety of teaching styles, ranging from the charismatic brilliant lecturer to the non-interventionist, supportive facilitator.
It is possible, however, to articulate broad, general principles as a guide to staff and students. In recent years, a great deal of work has gone into the formulation of such principles at a national level and very useful sets of guidelines have been published, after consultation with interested groups in higher education. These include the AVCC's Universities and their Students: Principles for the Provision of Education by Australian Universities (2005) and the DETYA document Benchmarking: A manual for Australian universities (McKinnon, Walker and Davis, 2000, Chapter 6).
In order to maximise the potential of the learning experience for all students at Australian Catholic University, members of the Faculties responsible for course delivery are encouraged to achieve the following characteristics of effective teaching.
Effective Teaching
- is conducted in the context of, and with reference to, the goals and objectives of the University, and its Faculties and Schools;
- is focused on learning outcomes for students, in the form of knowledge, understanding and skills and aims to develop the attitudes and values of mature adult learners;
- proceeds from an understanding of students' knowledge, capabilities and backgrounds;
- is coherent in the integration of objectives with teaching procedures and assessment;
- ensures the clear communication to students of expectations, requirements and ways in which they can achieve their potential;
- engages students as active participants in the learning process, while acknowledging that all learning must involve a complex interplay of active and receptive processes, the constructing of meaning for oneself, and learning with and from others;
- encourages questioning and criticism of accepted views and theories;
- is based on an awareness of the limited and provisional nature of knowledge in all fields;
- is linked with the latest research and scholarship in ways that allow students to see how understanding evolves, and is subject to challenge and revision;
- attempts to excite students about innovative developments in their discipline areas;
- promotes the development of co-operative learning among students and lecturers;
- provides opportunity for improved information literacy;
- makes use of a wide range of teaching strategies, including the use of various information and communication technologies;
- encourages students to develop independent learning skills by providing appropriate tasks to develop analytical and critical thinking skills;
- respects students' views and responses;
- is grounded in a concern for the welfare and progress of individual students;
- assists students to form broad conceptual understandings of areas of knowledge;
- encompasses an inclusive curriculum, being open to a range of perspectives from groups of different cultural backgrounds, and is committed to facilitating learning climates which are supportive of all students;
- is sensitive to the particular needs of students with disabilities;
- encourages awareness of Mission focus including ethical dimensions of issues and problems;
- takes into account feedback from students about their learning and the perceived effectiveness of teaching strategies, obtained regularly through a range of formal and informal evaluations;
- draws on and contributes to engagement with the community.
The University's Institute for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning focuses on supporting lecturers in many of the areas listed above. It also responds to expressions of need identified by academic staff either formally through the Academic Staff Performance and Review Planning Program or informally as a result of individual staff requests.
Understanding Quality Learning
While the learning promoted by all universities is focused primarily in the areas of knowledge and understanding, and cognitive skills, Australian Catholic University focuses particularly on learning leading to the holistic development of its students and staff. Effective teaching can enhance many aspects of learning, including physical, aesthetic, intellectual and personal dimensions. However, an individual's beliefs, dispositions, attitudes and values all influence personal learning and effective personal learning depends upon an open-minded response from the learner.
To stress the importance of promoting holistic learning, a "Learning Paradigm" is embedded in the University's Strategic Plan:
- What value the Learning Paradigm adds to the style and substance of this University's existence is central to its raison d'etre. The University should provide the right kind of learning experiences, be they academic, spiritual, ethical or other; and the University fundamentally should be at the service of its students as it attempts to assist each of them, "its entire diversified and dispersed student body", as part of their "personal, spiritual and moral development" so that they will become "valued in employment and in the life of the community at large". The Learning Paradigm reflects this self-understanding of the role and purpose of the University as it aims to discern methods and approaches that best suit the needs of the students. (Australian Catholic University Strategic Plan Working Paper No. 2 - The Learning Paradigm)< DD>
In the implementation of the Learning Paradigm, the University promotes and facilitates learning that:
- is autonomous and self-motivated;
- is characterised by the individual taking satisfaction in the mastering of content and skills;
- realises the development of a sense of the academic disciplines;
- proceeds from the learner striving to grasp the "meaning" of what is being learnt, both for the wellbeing of the individual and the community;
- can be fostered by cooperation and respectful interaction with others;
- has a lifelong orientation for the enhancement of the individual and society;
- is open to educational contributions through the use of the Internet and of various information and communication technologies;
- is critical, looking beneath the surface level of information for the meaning and significance of what is being studied;
- includes the development of an historical perspective of knowledge;
- seeks awareness of any pertinent spiritual, moral, ethical and justice issues related to the material being studied;
- values individuality and personal interests, moderated by a sense of responsibility and commitment to the ideals of community.
Support for Teaching and Learning
Effective teaching and learning at Australian Catholic University is encouraged by a range of strategies, which have been endorsed by Academic Board for the support of quality teaching and learning. These strategies include the establishment of dedicated units and organisational structures, policies and procedures, programs and professional learning opportunities, and grants and reward schemes. Examples of these are:
- Academic Skills Unit

Credit Default Swaps (CDS) are financial derivatives that earned the notoriety of being characterized Financial Weapons of Mass Destruction in the aftermath of the 2007-8 financial crisis, which originated in the US. CDS is a kind of insurance against credit default. It was issued by insurers like AIG and other market participants, and bought by investment banks like Goldman Sachs, to protect their investment in subprime and other securities. Speculators too can buy the contract without holding the underlying security. When the financial crisis reached its climax, AIG nearly went down the Lehman Brothers route to bankruptcy thanks to its CDS exposure. It avoided Lehman's wretched fate with the US government's rescue, but it was a close call. At its peak, the total outstanding CDS contracts in the market was estimated at more than 60 trillion dollars, bearing no correlation to the underlying value of the securities it sought to protect. An implosion in the CDS market, given its size, could have sounded the death knell of the financial markets, hence the tag Financial Weapons of Mass Destruction for these swap contracts.
Since the winding down of the crisis days, CDS no longer attracts the same level of attention, though the market for the swaps continues to be active.
Basel Committee Standards
Prior to the crisis, the Basel Committee for Banking Supervision had published two accords for capital adequacy, the Basel I standards in 1988 and Basel II in 2004. Basel 1 was a simplistic approach. It painted all counterparties in a particular category with the same brush by assigning a uniform risk weightage. Emphasis was on credit risk. Basel II accord proposed a more risk sensitive approach towards capital adequacy measurement. It also introduced capital standards for operational risk and incorporated the market risk measures brought in, post the Basel I accord. The Basel II accord was an abysmal failure in addressing the systemic, liquidity, leverage and pro cyclical issues in the banking sector, which led to and exacerbated the financial crisis.
The Basel III Accord
The Basel Committee, learning from these lessons, introduced several measures including a leverage ratio that sought to constrain excess leverage in the banking system, and global liquidity standards, along with a framework to promote the conservation of capital and the build-up of adequate buffers above the minimum that can be drawn down in periods of stress.
A critical lesson learnt from the crisis was the need for an additional capital layer that can absorb losses on a going concern basis.
The earlier Basel accords had elements of such capital but they could not act as an effective layer for absorbing losses for the simple reason that they were structured to do that only on a "gone concern" basis i.e. in a liquidation scenario. Depositors would have to stand in a queue and wait for liquidation of the assets of their bank to recover their investments. Such a "forced sale" usually results in lesser valuation of assets and takes time.
AT1 Bonds a.k.a Perpetuals
Basel III accord therefore introduced a new instrument, the Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bond, to protect depositors of a bank on a "going concern" basis. The essential element of this instrument is the imposition of losses on its holders without the bank being liquidated, if the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1) ratio falls below a threshold level. The bonds are also known as perpetuals as they do not have a specific redemption date. To qualify as an AT1 bond, 14 criteria are specified by the Basel Committee, the following being noteworthy apart from the perpetual nature:
AT1 bonds are quasi equity instruments that seek to protect depositors through the loss absorption mechanism and discretion on coupons, while leaving investors in the bonds in high risk circumstances.
Why would an investor go for AT1 Bonds?
The answer can be summarized in a single word: yield.
Scenario in today's yield starved world:
|US government 10 year Treasury
|2.054 %
|German 10 year Bunds
|Japanese 10 year Bonds
|-0.015% (negative)
|UK 10 year Gilts
(as on 8th September 2017)
In comparison, AT1 bonds stand out, with bonds of top rated global banks offering around 5%.
Indian PSU banks yield to maturity on rupee perpetuals ranges between 8 pct and 12.5 pct. The investors in AT1 bonds are primarily institutional. Regulators generally discourage the small retail investor from this segment. It is the expectation that wholesale investors with "superior" credit risk and market risk assessment skills are better equipped to invest in such bonds.
Another perplexing factor in AT1 bonds: why would someone invest in a bond that does not ever repay its principal? The call option comes to the rescue here. Despite issuers being explicitly prohibited under the Basel standards from creating an expectation with investors that the call will be exercised, the markets expect banks to call the bonds at the end of 5 years and usually well capitalized banks oblige. Voila! A perpetual bond is now a very attractive short term instrument with a mouthwatering yield.
Are AT1 Bonds serving the purpose?
Earlier this year, Banco Popular of Spain faced mounting losses and a run on the bank by its depositors. In a deal orchestrated by the European Commission, the larger Spanish bank Santander, took over Banco Popular, while imposing a write-down on AT1 bond holders for nearly 2 billion Euros. In the rescue of the Italian bank Montei Dei Paschi, 4.5 billion euros were converted into ordinary shares, though retail investors were spared.
The recent instances broadly prove that AT1 bonds are working as intended, though some central banks question if the write-downs happened at the European banks only when the banks were on the verge of becoming a "gone concern".
The experience with weak public sector banks in India offers a study in contrast. The Indian government's apparent willingness to support its subsidiary banks through additional capital to prevent an AT1 bond write-down, is perhaps a reflection of its worries of a contagion risk to the banking system and its own credibility in the traditional role of a promoter.
Moral hazard
The regulator now requires banks to provide for 50% of outstanding secured loans as soon as a defaulter is referred to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, and 100% if the defaulter goes into liquidation. PSU banks in India, with large problem loan exposures being referred to the NCLT for resolution, would therefore require significant amounts of additional capital in the near future to meet the standards for CET 1 ratio as per the Basel III accord. This ideally should happen through the write-down of AT1 bonds, unless the government continues to step in with its own capital infusion. Apart from fiscal constraints that the government faces, such large scale bail out of institutional holders who have been enjoying high returns on account of the risky nature of AT1 bonds, will entail a moral hazard. It also goes against the very raison d'etre of the AT1 bonds which entails holders absorbing losses. The US government bailout of Wall Street Banks during the financial crisis attracted scathing criticism that it was tantamount to private profits and socialized losses. In a developing country like India, a tax payer led bailout of institutional investors in AT1 bonds, may not be politically palatable.
The concerns around protection of the principal portion of the AT1 bonds apart, the risk of nonpayment of coupon remains. Basel standards allow coupon (interest) payment only from distributable reserves. Further loan loss provisioning by weak PSU banks could lead to reserves being wiped out and trigger a default on coupon payments. Capital infusion by the government can potentially bailout the principal portion of AT1 bonds but cannot support banks without reserves in meeting coupon payment obligations.
The next Financial WMD's?
A final word on the potential of AT1 bonds to wreak havoc in the global financial system from a systemic perspective. An AT1 bond write-down for institutional holders could very well trigger a run on the bank by retail depositors who may fear that they may be next in the line to take a hit. As long as the problem is localized as observed recently in Spain and Italy, there is no risk to the broader banking system. But en masse write offs of AT1 bonds at multiple banks in the event of a scenario like the last financial crisis is a real possibility. If depositors stampede to the exits, the inter connected banking system would again be at risk as witnessed during the dark days of 2007-8.
Governments, regulators and financial market participants can perhaps take comfort from the recent statement of Janet Yellen, the Chairperson of the Board of Governors of the US Federal reserve, that she does not foresee another financial crisis in our lifetime. Let's hope that she is right! Readers may however take note that she did appear to back track on her remarks in a subsequent testimony to the US Senate.

The Daihatsu Copen is most definitely a cute car. Say whatever about its quirky appearance, it still looks lovely. You may find its design way too polarizing for the mainstream market. Well, the distribution is quite limited, actually. It was first made in Japan, known as a Kei car. It was one of the Kei cars, which were made in response to the local regulations pertaining to city cars. It said much about its unique appearance.
Daihatsu Copen engine
It seems as though the car has received a lot of influence. As you can see, the hardtop convertible roof looks like something from the SLK roadster. The performance is probably not worth shouting about, but it is pretty good regardless. Under the hood, there you will find a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine. The engine appeared on one of the latest versions. The former one had a smaller package, which was 660cc turbo. Well, since it is intended for city driving, abundant power is not a necessity.
The car can run pretty fast, actually. It runs faster than what you ever thought of. Though it is pretty quick, the ride feels more relaxed, couple it to the nice gear change and you will get a reliable package. You can use it to drive through impossible gaps and it can still do that without hassle. The fact that it is designed mainly for city driving says a lot about its on-road manners. Take your family to buzz around town and you will arrive at home without a single dull moment.
Daihatsu Copen interior
It has some flaws, of course. We can not expect for the best in everything from an affordable car. The part that we find annoying is the motors. They are too noisy for many to handle. While it can run pretty fast, you can not spur it at high speeds as it tends to jiggles after hitting certain figures on the speedometer. Since the car is pretty small, do not expect for the roomiest space. It is more like a touch sober. You can not be too big to get in the car. To be honest, the car seems to only fit average-sized people. Not only does the interior feel cramped, but the advent of the large steering wheel just makes things worse.
It is one of those things that turn people off and reduce its appeal. However, if you are unbothered squeezing into the car, it can be a joyful ride. Yes, the cabin is pretty tight, but the cargo space is sufficient. The perk of having such a small car is that you do not need to worry about parking as it fits nearly all kinds of parking lots. There are people who like quirky cars. If you are one of those who find frivolous vehicles entertaining, then you just found your soulmate.
Daihatsu Copen pricing details
You have to check the car out. How much is the car? The company has re-launched the series and now you can take one for £ 10.995. The new series has undergone some refreshment. The engine is better for the series, replacing the old one which was smaller. The acceleration is expected, though. Since the power plant is restrained, it can only sprint from zero to 62 in 9.5 seconds.

Despite the name, this scent isn't all hard edges and spice. Designed by innovative perfumer Juliette Has a Gun, it's a seductive blend of rose, earthy patchouli, and rounded vanilla notes. Richer and deeper than conventional rose-based scents, Lady Vengeance will never be mistaken for sweet.
If you don't own Lady Vengeance you are missing out... on free dinners, free drinks, free admission to shows, getting out at the front of the line... This perfume has changed my life! Can a perfume really do that? Yes it can. If I had a dollar for every person who told me how amazing I smell I could buy a big bottle every week. Men and women beg me to tell them what I am wearing. It makes me feel so sexy, and confident. It needs about 20 minutes to get comfortable on the skin, then sit back and watch what happens. When anyone asks what I want for a gift this is what I tell them. Trust me, even if you don't love it, your dating life will!5

Perfect timing as usual, my dear bunso. Why oh why do your sick days fall at times I am or will be away at a significant length of time, or I am or will in a place that need long haul flights? Not that I want you to get sick at all…but more so when I cannot be with you.
Thank God you are better, and I can leave for a while with some peace of mind. We can put behind the last three days of our being in the ER and your consequent confinement. Never mind that we spent Daddy's birthday at the hospital. I will still be thinking of you and Ate for most of my waking hours anyway. You will understand, I hope, in the future, that all of leaving are for you and your sister. All of what I do are for you both.

If I had to choose one dish to be my "favourite", I'd struggle for a while and ultimately settle on Spaghetti Bolognese. It's my ultimate comfort food - especially when smothered in cheese - and surprisingly not all that difficult to make. When Lea and Perrins got in touch to ask if I'd like to blog about a delicious recipe including the infamous Worcestershire Sauce I jumped at the chance to share a little treat with you guys!
Ingredients (serves 4)
1 onion
1 carrot
1 stick of celery
2 cloves of garlic
5 chestnut mushrooms (I left these out this time!)
A handful of pancetta cubes
500g mince (beef, turkey & pork all work well)
1 tablespoon tomato puree
400g chopped tomatoes
200ml beef stock
1 glass red wine
4 tablespoons of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
350g spaghetti
A handful of parmesan
A handful of fresh basil (chopped)
I think that the best way to start off is chopping up all of your vegetables. Being prepared helps! This takes a little while - especially if you watch RuPaul's Drag Race whilst you do it like me - but once it's all done it makes everything a lot easier in the long run. So, dice your onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms and garlic and pop them aside for later.
Pop your pancetta in to a pan with a little oil and fry until browned. Then add your mince, again until browned. Once your meat is ready add your veg and stir well before coating with the tomato puree and cooking for a few minutes. After a few minutes add your glass of red wine and the beef stock, leave it to bubble for a wee while until it has reduced by around half. Once reduced add in your Lea & Perrins and the tin of chopped tomatoes - be sure to give it a good mix! Bring it up to the boil then reduce the heat and let it simmer for around 45 minutes. For this stage I popped the bolognese in to my slow cooker on a high setting for 45 minutes then left it on the lowest setting to keep it warm until I was ready to eat - this method is pretty torturous if you're in the house as it smells delicious. Once you're ready to eat boil your pasta until cooked. When it's ready pop it on to a plate and add your bolognese on the top. Finish off with a bit of basil & your parmesan (maybe a whole load of mozzarella too if you're like me) and devour. So good!
If, like me, you're only cooking for one or two people or just have a lot of leftovers then I have a couple of yummy meals that are perfect for leftover Bolognese. To start off with, I love a good ol' jacket potato (made in the oven obviously) and Bolognese is the perfect filling for those nights that you're craving something a bit more-ish. My absolute ultimate way to devour the leftovers is by making a creamy pasta bake with lashings of cheese. Caloriffic, but delicious. Basically, you need to mix up a serving of bolognese and single cream in a bowl with the pasta of your choice, load up with cheese and pop it in the oven covered in tin foil. It's such a treat, so creamy and just all round amazing-ness. Add a slice of garlic bread on the side and it's just heaven! I know what I'm having for tea tonight...
What's your favourite meal? I also love anything with tuna & cheese, best combination ever. You can find some more great recipes using Lea & Perrins on their website here.
The ingredients & recipe were kindly provided on behalf of Lea & Perrins.
This does not affect my opinions in any way, shape or form. I love bolognese. A lot.

In #PalmBeach: All Aboard Florida Project Throws up Roadblock
Okeechobee Boulevard closure in May will hurt travelers on and off the island.
In addition to having to navigate around numerous in-town construction projects — including replacement of some water mains; sidewalk and road work around Town Hall and Florida Public Utilities' replacement of 4 miles of gas lines — drivers also will have to deal with a complete closure of Okeechobee Boulevard at the Florida East Coast Railway tracks for four days next month.
Okeechobee is a major artery into Palm Beach, particularly with the Flagler Memorial Bridge down to two drive lanes while its replacement is being constructed.
Mayor Gail Coniglio said Saturday the closure will be a traffic catastrophe, but it is something over which the town has no control.

Upper Arlington city officials took the first step Tuesday toward becoming one of the first Ohio communities to prohibit the sale of tobacco and nicotine products to anyone younger than 21.
Upper Arlington city officials took the first step Tuesday toward becoming one of the first Ohio communities to prohibit the sale of tobacco and nicotine products to anyone younger than 21.
Upper Arlington City Council heard the first reading May 26 of a proposed ordinance to establish 21 as the minimum age for buying tobacco and electronic cigarettes.
A final vote on the legislation isn't expected until June 8. All but two council members have expressed support for the measure since Dr. Rob Crane, a clinical associate professor of family medicine at the OSU Wexner Medical Center and president of the Preventing Tobacco Addiction Foundation, called for the age increase during a council conference session April 6.
On Tuesday, Crane and several members of the Columbus medical community, residents and Franklin County Public Health Medical Director Miller Sullivan called for the age increase.
"We strongly support these types of things," Sullivan said. "We know the decrease in smoking in this age group will help saves lives."
Upper Arlington City Councilman Erik Yassenoff said May 22 he still hadn't decided how he'll vote on the proposal, and said he preferred central Ohio communities to have uniformity in their laws involving sales of tobacco and nicotine.
Council Vice President Debbie Johnson questioned the timing of the proposal Tuesday and raised concerns about how it would affect local businesses.
"I also think this puts some of our businesses at a disadvantage because (shoppers) can go right across Kenny Road," Johnson said. "I also worry about enforcement and question how our police officers will enforce that."
Councilman Kip Greenhill, who championed getting the ordinance to council, responded by citing an American Journal of Health report that said increasing the minimum age for tobacco and nicotine sales would only reduce sales of those products by 2 percent.
"The economic impact - I hope we don't get hung up on that because the impact will be minimal and we're talking about a lethal product," he said.
Crane also said there have been no lawsuits as a result of 72 other U.S. communities raising the minimum sales age.
Under the proposal introduced to council, selling cigarettes, tobacco products, e-cigarettes and liquid nicotine would be prohibited to anyone 21 or younger.
Anyone found to have violated the law would face a maximum fine of $150 for a first offense within 12 months, a maximum fine of $250 for a second offense within a year and a maximum fine of $500 for a third and subsequent offenses within a 12-month period.
By making the offense an "unclassified misdemeanor," the fine amounts could increase without the potential of jail time, City Attorney Jeanine Hummer said, a proposal that was supported unanimously last week by the Upper Arlington Board of Health.

Self-Assessment: Children's Perspectives on Their Literacy Activities in the Classroom.
vanKraayenoord, Christina E.; Paris, Scott G.
A study investigated whether a teacher-pupil conference could serve as a vehicle for gathering data from children on the self-assessment of learning. The "Worksamples Interview" (a 10-item questionnaire that focuses on different dimensions of children's work) was used with 93 children in Years 4, 5, and 6 in one school in a large city in Australia. Children selected work samples from their own collections that represented particular features and provided explanations and self-evaluations. Results indicated that: (1) the children reflected on the features and provided both cognitive and affective evaluations; (2) a developmental trend was evident in many responses; and (3) although no difference was found on the Total Worksample Interview Score between good and poor readers, the Total Score did correlate with scores in tasks assessing strategic reading, attitudes toward school, and literacy habits outside school. Findings suggest that the Worksamples Interview taps metacognitive abilities related to strategic and motivated literacy learning. Findings also suggest that the Worksamples Interview holds promise as an assessment tool that teachers can use in conference settings with artifacts, performance assessments, and portfolios. (Three tables of data are included and the Worksamples Interview is attached. Contains 13 references.) (Author/RS)

Looking at the other posts...my idea of a limerick seems greatly removed from everyone else's! So.... here is my effort plus bonus verse and I'll just leave quietly by the back door. *Tries to tiptoe out quietly, but ankle gives out and I crash to the floor* Sorry folks!
There was a young lady called Jo
Who woke with sore joints and so,
She went to the Rheumy,
Whose outlook was gloomy,
Shook his head and said 'I just don't know"
Your shoulders are creaky,
Your ankles quite tweaky
Your knees, they buckle and twist
If you take my advice
And I won't say this twice,
You'll give this old 'Strictly' a miss!

Guys, I'm back!
It's so nice to be back to blogging and pursuing my passions. Let me say, this was a much needed blogging break for me. Life was so crazy and I felt like I was going through too many life changes at once. But more on that later…I can't wait to be back to sharing outfit inspiration with you!
Shooting this post was such a blast for me and it really shows my love for the boho trends out there today. I was so comfortable in these looks and I cannot wait to share them today! Flowy tunics are a huge trend right now, but sometimes it's hard to know how to style them because they can fall at awkward lengths. I'll be the first to admit that my go-to was always to throw on a pair of leggings or jeans and wah-lah. But, guys, there's so much more you can do! Today I'm sharing 2 other ways to wear and style a loose, boho tunic so you can rock whatever trend works for you!
Look One.
Most tunics are long enough where you could actually wear it as a dress (especially you short girls out there). Being a little taller, it's typically a toss up whether or not I can actually pull this one off without accidentally showing the world a little too much! 😉 This tunic from Apricot Lane Peoria, however, was just the perfect length! I like to say, that a general rule of thumb would be that if the tunic is at least finger tip length, then definitely rock is as a dress! I decided to style this with a pair of booties and not sandals because I believe that booties create an illusion that the dress is longer than it is.
Look two.
I feel we forget that wearing a tunic with shorts is a thing! And guys, it's so stinkin' cute! The trick to this is the infamous front tuck technique. I've seen this from bloggers everywhere and it really does change the way your basic tees, over-sized sweaters, and tunics look when styled. With this look, I took the front of the tunic and subtly tucked it directly behind the front button of my white shorts. I love the cascading look it gave the tunic and totally changed the way it looked. Especially for you tall girls, this is definitely a look for you to rock!
I had so much fun shooting this look and CANNOT WAIT to show you what else I have up my sleeve. Follow me on Instagram (@bloomboutiqueblog), Facebook (@BloomBoutiqueBlog), and Twitter (@bloom__boutique) to stay up to date on my latest posts and day to day fashion inspiration. Leave a comment below with what you think of this look!
