Current and Past Ambassadors
Current Walk Ambassadors
Joshua Egleston
Joshua is now eight and a half years old and a boy very much like other boys. He loves to run, eat pancakes, wrestly, has an amazing sense of humour and loves to laugh with his little sister Taylor. He is happiest when his tablet is charged and in his hands! He uses his tablet to watch snippets of videos and music and loves to share them with us, often giving us a dance of echoing the words.
Although Josh has not had an easy life to date, you would never know from his spirit. He is truly the happiest kid you will meet. The kid has a smile that lights up a room and he has a spark of mischief in his eye that endears him to anyone who meets him. When Josh turned one, he was flagged for not meeting his developmental milestones. After a long bout of testing with genetics and several professionals, he was diagnosed at nearly three years old as having a genetic deletion (his ninth chromosome) and autism spectrum disorder. In February of 2015, we were devastated when Josh was diagnosed as having generalized epilepsy as well.
Josh has endured numerous EEGs, MRIs, blood tests, medications etc. in his eight years of life. Yet Josh does not show it. He lives in the moment and takes joy in the smallest pieces of life. He is our greatest teacher. As parents, he is teaching us the importance of advocacy, patience and trusting the process.
Although Josh does have some words, he would be described as non-verbal. However, those who know Josh know that he communicates in a different way with determination and patience. Josh has a magnetic personality and anyone who meets him is immediately struck by his warmth, loving spirit and amazing eyes. Josh is an amazing person and has a lot to teach those of us not on the spectrum. His charming personality endears him to people quickly and we are often struck by how much impact this little boy has on anyone who comes into his life.
Bryson Box
From the moment our son was born I knew there was something different about him. After his first birthday, I found the courage to tell my husband that we had to recognize the need to seek support for our Bryson. It was very difficult to speak aloud about Bryson's differences; he was not talking, did not eat, had a high pain tolerance and would throw a tantrum with the best of them. It was frustrating to not know how we could help our son communicate. Bryson was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism at the age of 2.5 years old. When the diagnosing Doctor confirmed Autism my husband and I were relieved and ready to take on this challenge. We were determined to make sure our son was able to embrace the special gift that he held and we were committed to make sure that we would apply the strategies and tools to to ensure Bryson could be the best Bryson he is destined to be.
This has been accomplished…Bryson is the most caring, compassionate fun loving 8 year old boy one would meet. He loves life and all that is in it. Bryson has a strong relationship with his older sister and cousin's they make sure that he is protected and exposed to all around him. They are truly his security he is very reluctant to embark on anything without his team. We have been blessed with having the best supportive team around us. He has recognized that they play a large role in his development. He loves being around each one of them.
Bryson is now is grade 3, he has been able to keep up with the curriculum. He has worked very hard to be at the required reading and math levels. All the while enjoying his peers who adore him. His teacher just shared with us that they had read a story about a child with Autism. Bryson asked his teacher if he could share something to his peers…he got up and shared that he has Autism just like the boy in the story. What a triumph. He understands that his difference makes him special which in turn has become his strength.
Bryson enjoys many extra curricular activities such as; soccer, baseball, robotics, swimming and not to mention playing video games with his cousins. He loves to be engaged and strives to be helpful to those in need. It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child but we are here to confirm that without this village our son would not be able succeed in this life. Without the tools and strategies that we have put into place, we could not provide our son the platform to flourish. He truly is our gift…Bryson leaves his footprint of kindness and loves every step of his life.
Team, "For the Love of Bryson" is honoured to walk with this year's Autism Speaks Walk Ambassador Bryson Box.
Giancarlo & Rosalia
Meet five-year-old Rosalia and her big brother Giancarlo, who is seven. Giancarlo loves being the star of his own videos, playing with his Thomas and Friends trains, and eating chocolate brownies. Rosalia loves purple and pink, playing Barbie, and being in control. They are each other's favorite people and, in addition to being the ambassadors for the 2019 Montreal Walk, they are the honorary members for Team GiaGia - a name we came up with in 2016 when we first participated in the walk and both kids were unable to pronounce Giancarlo's full name. As a team, we are honored to give a voice to other families who, like ours, are both ordinary and extraordinary in spite of and because of Autism.
Team GiaGia is about more than a yearly walk we do to support Autism Speaks Canada. Team GiaGia is about all the members of our family living with Autism Spectrum Disorder every day. It is about a mother and father trying their best to balance the individual needs of both of their children, and not always succeeding. It is about a younger sibling who is fighting for attention but is also wise beyond her years because of the lessons she learned from her brother's special needs. Team GiaGia is also about accepting that it takes a village - grandparents who fill in the gaps when mother and father are struggling; therapists and special educators who come into our home and our hearts. It is about the joy in tiny victories and the courage to face struggles together, as a team.
Giancarlo is our friendly giant - a big boy with an even bigger heart. He feels everything intensely: anger and frustration, but also joy and love, and there is no one he loves more than his little sister Rosalia. It hasn't always been easy for Rosalia to share the spotlight with Giancarlo. She doesn't always understand why she is expected to do certain things independently while her big brother gets help and attention for the same tasks. She sometimes feels anxious and overwhelmed by her brother's extreme feelings because sometimes he loses control over them. But at just 5 years old, she has already become an advocate for her brother, often explaining to friends that her brother plays and expresses himself differently but should still be included. Rosalia has also taken on a caretaker role, trying to soothe her older brother after a meltdown or "translating" his needs to others. Despite their special bond, Rosalia also makes sure that we recognize her as an individual, independent of the fact that she is a special needs sibling.
Giancarlo is also more than just his special needs. Yes, his Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, and Hyperactivity disorder tend to take a lot of space, but so does his boisterous laughter and big personality. In fact, when working with his team of educators to find solutions to his challenges, we must not only consider medication, behavioral and environmental factors but also that he is a seven-year-old boy who likes to have fun and can be a little mischievous at times, just like most seven-year-olds are! All of those factors came into play as Giancarlo recently overcame a huge hurdle at school and was finally able to integrate after several months of refusing to enter a classroom.
And then there is our village. The foundation that holds us up and keeps us glued together. Of course, mom and dad do what they can to help their kids be the best they can be, but at the heart of our close-knit family are Giancarlo and Rosalia's grandparents, who provide much-needed respite and daily support, and are team GiaGia's biggest fans! Together, we are proud to be the ambassadors for the 2019 walk, to raise awareness and funds for the mission of Autism Speaks Canada – to increase understanding, acceptance and inclusion of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, advance innovative research, and make connections to lifelong services and supports for the autism community.
Leo Groulx
Leo is 9-years-old and lives in Carleton Place. He was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder when he was 2.
Leo played soccer for a season and has taken swim lessons. He has also taken jiu-jitsu classes and runs cross-country at school. But he found his true passion was in the dramatic arts. He loves taking drama class and piano lessons and his family enjoys watching him perform in his recitals.
His favourite hobbies include playing video games, watching YouTube, listening to music, jumping, and playing with his twin brother, Eli. Leo has a dog named Jack, whom he loves very much.
Leo says the most challenging things about having autism for him are: haircuts, food and other items that smell really bad, and managing his emotions.
Leo says the best things about having autism for him are: people always trying their best to get along with him, and being asked to be the ambassador for the Ottawa Autism Speaks walk.
Leo previously participated in an Autism Speaks walk in Montreal, and this will be his third year participating in the Ottawa walk. He says he is "nerve-cited" to be the ambassador of the walk - a word he uses to describe when he is nervous and excited.
Leo's smile and laugh are contagious. He is a bright, funny and charming boy, and the Groulx family, and Team Ottawa Senators, are incredibly grateful for our Leo.
Reid Yablonski
A puzzle piece has many symbols in life and we found our missing piece in March of 2015, when our son Reid, who is intelligent, outgoing, energetic, full of joy and love, was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (with a Language Impairment) at the age of 4 and a half years old. Currently Reid is 8 years old and is in a grade 3. He is our social butterfly, who is always happy to interact with his peers in and out of school and anyone else that passes by him in our small community.
Reid is very active in participating in many physical sport activities such as gymnastics, soccer, building skating skills in the Canskate program, swimming lessons, biking and most recently cross country running and hockey. He always plays hard and tries his best, but most importantly, he is always working on being the best teammate to his friends.
When Reid isn't taking part in sports he enjoys playing on his ipad with apps that focus on word searches, spelling grids, watching youtube videos on trains around the world, and building a procedurally generated world of trains and tracks. Reid's passions are also building with lego, playing with model type trains, helicopters, planes, and cars. Anything that has a motor in it he is quite attracted too. If he isn't playing with these types of transportation, he loves watching them or riding in them. This past fall Reid went on his first helicopter ride in Canmore. Reid also has quite an interest with navigation and road signs. He can tell you which direction we are going and how many kilometers each place takes. He is our family's GPS system.
Our journey with Reid's diagnosis has had many ups and downs, but there is always a positive lesson to learn and a moment to celebrate. As Team Reid's shirts say, "The sky determines our limits". We believe in this philosophy everyday. Educating others about Autism is one thing but without the support we have had from our family, friends, community, various intervention programs, recreational group activities, day care, and the hard working staff at Wadena Elementary guiding Reid's growth and development, he wouldn't be where he is today. We are so VERY PROUD of who Reid is and what he will become and achieve. Team Reid is ecstatic to have Reid be Saskatoon's Honorary Ambassador for Autism Speaks Canada Walk of 2019. We have been active participants in this walk for almost 6 years and every year it is such a comforting experience to be with people who are walking and support the shoes we are in.
Rylan Caldwell
Rylan is a 7 year old boy with bright eyes and a contagious smile. He lives with his Mom, Dad and big sister Delaney (who he adores). At 2 ½ we noticed Rylan knew his alphabet and a lot of words but was not able to string them together into thoughts or sentences. He started speech and language therapy which then led to his diagnoses of Autism at age 4. He attends an afterschool ABA program and, combined with the fantastic support he gets at his school from his teachers and EA, he has made tremendous strides in language development and social skills. Rylan loves Thomas the Train, drawing, colouring and writing his own stories. He is passionate about animals, listing The Lion King as his favourite movie, and is hoping to be a zookeeper when he grows up. Rylan is proud and excited to be this year's Toronto Walk Ambassador and can't wait to see you all at the Walk on June 2nd at Nathan Phillips Square!
Pepper-Anne Habert
Hello Friends!
We are team Pepper-Steppers and this is our daughter, Pepper-Anne!
We are proud that Pepper-Anne is an ambassador for the Autism Speaks Walk this year in Vancouver. We hope you will walk with us to support our autism community.
Pepper-Anne was diagnosed when she was less than three years old with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Her neurodiversity has brought her challenges but it has opened many doors for her and the family in terms of finding an amazing, supportive, caring, and loving community. She has met many friends who are like her and accept her unconditionally. I have met many caring parents, as well as therapists, who go above and beyond for our kids. Some therapists have become best friends!
Every journey with autism is unique, yet they share commonalities. Our evolution in thinking about neurodiversity is our own unique experience, but we can share our insight with others and be an advocate for all kids with ASD. Wherever you are in your journey, we can stand with you, listen and give you the supports that are in our power to give.
Pepper-Anne is thriving both in school and in her social activities. She sings enthusiastically in the Mayday Club Youth Choir for Neurodiversity and she is an active member of Girls Club, a group for neurodiverse girls to make friends and connections. All the therapies she received over the last years have helped her grow from a girl who had a hard time relating to others to a vibrant, tenacious spirit who loves to connect with people.
I support Autism Speaks for many reasons. The monies raised have directly impacted my daughter in services she has received over the years (for example, in one of her social groups and the Pacific Autism Family Network, among many). I also believe that the more we understand the biology of autism through research, the better we can help the children who need supports to reach their full potential.
Thinking back over our many years of Autism Speaks walks, I have so many fond memories. Rain or shine, there were smiles and happy times. A couple times a year Pepper-Anne will randomly ask to go to an Autism Speaks walk! Once a year, we walk with pride not only for her but for all the people we know and have yet to meet with ASD.
Will you join us?
Evan Ammendolia
Evan Ammendolia is a fun loving 9 year old boy! He loves to play video games, jump on trampolines, swim, play with balloons and has quite the collection of fans! He has a 10 year old sister named Isabelle who is very caring and supportive and also a Black Labrador named Cesar! Evan was diagnosed when he was 3 years old (just months before he started JK). He didn't speak much, in fact his Dr. had wondered if he was a selective mute at first! We definitely had our challenges when he was first diagnosed, not only did Evan not speak very much but he was also a runner. We had locks on all our doors and someone was always monitoring him when he was outdoors as he would like to take off and explore! Evan had an amazing first year of school with an incredible Educational Assistant! She helped him in so many ways and really helped to change his life for the better! Evan loved his ABC's, he can even recite the alphabet backwards! As Evan has gotten older, new challenges arrive - he has struggled at school due to sensory issues and needs but we have been very lucky overall when it comes to his teachers and support staff trying to find ways to help Evan to be successful. We are constantly changing the way that staff work with Evan and he responds well to many of the suggestions that are attempted. Like anyone else he does have his bad days and unfortunately for Evan his highs and lows are more obvious. That being said, Evan has accomplished a number of wonderful experiences in his life! He has been to Disney world twice and loved it! The staff there are just incredible at helping children with all forms of disabilities experience things in the most magical way possible! Evan also enjoys Great Wolf lodge, Skyzone, Go Bananas, swimming and playing the piano! Evan has accessed some of the services available to him, including Sensitive Santa at the Cambridge Center every Christmas! They make the whole experience of visiting with Santa a truly magical one, for siblings too! We can't imagine taking the kids to see Santa any other time! Evan has been through the kids ability ABA program three times now and is on the waitlist to participate again. We've learnt many wonderful strategies through the programs offered and use several of them to this day! Another program that Evan was involved in was the support worker through the city for his extra-curricular activities! He had some fabulous people work with him including a very caring young girl who helped him with several of his swimming classes and even some of his summer camps! We've participated in the Autism Walk since 2015 and we have had a great time every year, including the year it rained! We just jumped in the puddles while we walked! Evan is very excited to be this year's walk ambassador and we look forward to walking with you all this June!
Emily is 9 years old and lives with her big sister Julia, mom and dad, cats, dog, and fish.
She takes French Immersion at Princess Elizabeth Public School, and loves riding her favourite horse, Tarz at Greyden Farms in Erin where she takes horse back riding lessons. She also loves swimming and playing card games. In the past, Emily played lacrosse for the Northman U9 team, and enjoyed her time as a Brownie with the 5th Orangeville Unit.
Emily was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder after turning 5 years old, and thankfully our family found support within the Orangeville community.
Not all our days are good ones, but we're happy we have each other.

Table saw accidents is on the increase in the country. Not less than sixty five thousand people are victims of it yearly. The effect on the victim can be severe and in some cases, it can lead to amputation. Even the cost of medication can be high as it can cost as much as one hundred and thirty thousand dollars or more. This is just the cost of treatment, when one adds the pain of the injury the effects become unbearable. The problem is avoidable if one takes precautionary measures while using the product. Always use the guard; it is there to protect you from table danger.
A Brief Story about the Table Saw Accidents
The story is the same in other places. There is the report on how SawStop affects their lives negatively. There is no doubt that table saw injuries are on the increase, but that does not mean that you stop using table saws. It is indispensable to a woodworker. You cannot carry out any meaningful woodwork operations if you do not use this instrument. Improvement in technology introduces this woodworking instrument. Before its introduction, woodworkers were using different instruments. There is no doubt that its emergence facilitates woodcutting. This means that there is no going back on this technology. Woodworkers should be thinking of the best way to use this tool to reduce accidents.
Various models of table saws are on the market including the hybrid brand. Some are even mechanized and manufacturers put in place safety measures to reduce the frequency of accidents. If you want to remain safe using this instrument, you must always consider the safety rules. You must stick to the basic rules to reduce danger of table saws. There could be various rules, but you must stick to the most basic. Here are some safety measures you can consider when you want to use a table saw to reduce accident occurrence.
How to Reduce the Table Saw Tools
Sharp blade is the best option when you are working with this kind of tool. This is because friction pressure will not be much. Furthermore, it is safe to use safety glass, as well as a face shield. This can minimize injury. Such product should have a safety guard, and it is necessary to ensure that it is always in place.
Most importantly, you must learn how to use the tool. It is not advisable to use your hands to push the wood while working with that blade.
One major cause of a table saw accident is kickback. To avoid it, stay on one side as you use the saw to avoid kickback accident. If you no longer use it, there is no sense in plugging it. When it is no longer in use, you have to unplug it.
Using a table saw is no different from using a hair clipper. If you use clippers, you must be careful with how you use it to avoid the accident. When you are making your choice, look for an efficient electric hair clipper. If you do not use the guard when you are cutting your hair, it could lead to injury.
Final Words about Table Saw Accidents
Hairstylists purchase the best clippers that can serve their purpose very well. Furthermore, for the safety of its users, it is good to maintain and clean it after use. This can help to reduce injury associated with this kind of product. Only use it when it is sharp.
If you take precautionary measures, it can prevent an accident from happening. If you take precautionary measure, it can prevent a table saw accident. Some accident cause has to do with operator error. Ensure that you know how best to use it. You will be safe using it if you observe the safety rules and be extra careful when you are using it to avoid the accident.

Natural Power has advised NTR on the 200MW acquisition of operational and pre-construction onshore wind projects in Sweden and Finland that has been added to the NTR Renewable Energy Income Fund II. Total capital invested by NTR in the portfolio is expected to be in excess of €180 million. NTR acquired the portfolio projects, called Vindin, from a consortium of Swedish industrial companies.
Natural Power attended all sites individually and provided pre-construction yield analysis alongside turbine inspections for the operational projects. The detailed due diligence review included turbine service agreements, asset management agreements, grid connection agreements (including grid concession), power purchase agreements, turbine technology, project permits, EIA, and forecasted operational expenditure. Natural Power also advised on an outline construction programme and assessment of development risks for the pre-construction project.
Marc Lamphiere, Country Director of Natural Power Ireland, said: "During the course of the past few years, we have been increasingly active in supporting clients across the Nordic region by providing pre-construction, construction and advisory services. We are delighted to bring our technical advisory experience to bear in supporting the Vindin portfolio acquisition on behalf of NTR, and in supporting its first entry into the region. We have now supported NTR in six countries as it continues to grow its European footprint. The Vindin assets represent a high-quality addition to the existing portfolio."
Giles Dearden, Director of Due Diligence at Natural Power, said: "We are delighted for NTR on the success of its acquisition. In the last 18 months, Natural Power has carried out more than 3GW of transaction advisory and energy yield analysis across the Nordic's often accommodating complex route to market contracts, volume hedging analysis, weather risk and some of the largest wind turbines deployed in Europe."
"Sweden and Finland represent exciting new geographies for the fund, each having ambitious renewable energy targets and a stable economic outlook;" said Manus O'Donnell, Chief Investment Officer of NTR. "This portfolio of projects provides an attractive mix across the development life-cycle, in line with our fund's strategy to complement projects in development with those already up and running."
The portfolio comprises three operational projects totalling 94MW and one advanced stage development cluster totalling a potential 108 MW capacity in southern Sweden. The three operational projects, Trattberget (69MW) located in the Örnsköldsvik municipality in northern Sweden; Skutskär (10MW) based at the Swedish town's port in Medora Bay; and Svalskulla (15MW), located in the Ostrobothnia region of Finland, came into operation at various dates between 2009 and 2014. NTR expects to bring the development project cluster, Norra-Vedbo, into operation in 2021.
NTR will put in place long-term power price contracts for the Swedish projects, for which there is considerable demand, given the scale of the portfolio. Svalskulla, the 15MW project located in Finland, benefits from the Feed-In-Tariff programme supported by the Finnish Government. The projects will be financed with project finance debt.back to news

10 Great Travel Jackets That Are Easy to Pack
The struggle is real when it comes to packing a jacket in your suitcase. Unless you wear it on the plane (which makes you feel even more cramped than normal), your travel jacket usually takes up a good chunk of your carry-on bag. Don't sacrifice warmth for space. These 10 travel jackets are portable, stylish, warm, and ultra-packable.
The North Face Thermoball Full Zip Jacket
The North Face Thermoball is everything I look for in a travel jacket: warm, eco-friendly, water-repellent, and super compressible. The Thermoball insulation technology mimics goose down in that it traps heat within small air pockets to retain warmth. It's also incredibly lightweight, clocking in at just 10 ounces.
Travel Insulated Stretch Jacket
Packable jackets are usually on the shorter side, which is why I was amazed at how compactly this long Insulated Stretch Jacket squished down into its included stuff sack. This jacket is water-repellent, and it has a removable hood to make it even more versatile. It won't make you look like a shapeless lump, either, thanks to the chevron front, back filling pattern, and princess seams.
Scottevest Trench Coat
This is the one travel jacket I'd recommend wearing on the plane—because it can double as a carry-on bag thanks to its 18 hidden pockets. The wrinkle-resistant SCOTTeVEST trench coat has spots to hold your cords and keep them tangle-free, plus a weight management system to keep your back and neck from getting sore.
Craghoppers Nat Geo 250 Jacket
Craghoppers' Nat Geo 250 Jacket was designed with National Geographic readers (and journalists) in mind, so it will last through pretty much anything. I've put the AquaDry outer layer through some severe weather and it has always kept me dry. The interior lining is soft without being bulky, so this jacket can fold down pretty small. It's perfect for travelers thanks to the six pockets (including one that's RFID-blocking) and a removable hood.
Eddie Bauer Women's Astoria Hooded Down Parka
For seriously cold destinations, you'll want Eddie Bauer's Astoria Hooded Down Parka, which is rated for temperatures as low as -30 degrees Fahrenheit. The 650-fill premium down is responsible for this warmth, but it's also very lightweight, which makes it easier to pack. It repels water to keep you dry, and has extra touches like fleece-lined zipper pockets that keep your hands warm, adjustable cuffs, and a snap-off hood (with a detachable faux-fur trim for different looks).
Canada Goose Blakely Parka
Canada Goose jackets are super popular in cold weather cities. Every winter, I see more and more people wearing the iconic logo. The Blakely Parka makes me understand why these coats are so ubiquitous—it will keep you warm in temperatures as low as 5 degrees Fahrenheit, but it's also lightweight, breathable, and portable, so you'll be comfortable even while being active.
The front zipper has a protective wind guard underneath, and the hood has a stretch binding to keep it secure—both of which ensure your warmth. The Blakely has interior backpack straps that allow the jacket to be carried hands-free over the shoulder.
Helly Hansen Express Jacket
Sometimes ski jackets are unnecessarily bulky. Not Helly Hansen's Express Jacket, which has ultra lightweight and slim PrimaLoft Black Insulation throughout the sleeves and body which provides warmth without weighing you down. (Meanwhile, a venting system keeps you cool when you're heating up on the slopes). The Express Jacket is really designed with skiers and snowboarders in mind—think wrist gaiters, pockets for your ski pass, phone, and goggles, a detachable helmet-compatible hood, a snap-away powder skirt, and a built-in RECCO rescue reflector.
Craghoppers Compresslite
Craghoppers' Compresslite Jacket is my go-to hiking jacket. It's kept me warm in serious wind gusts above tree line (it's windproof, water-resistant, and insulates just as well as down). It's super lightweight, so it doesn't take up too much space in my pack, plus it's roomy and flexible for when you're doing some serious physical activity. It's also very affordable for its performance level.
Eddie Bauer Women's Girl On The Go Insulated Trench Coat
Stay dry no matter what the weather with Eddie Bauer's Girl on the Go Trench Coat. The StormRepel outer layer means water (or spills) bead up rather than soak in. When you're back home, you can just toss this machine-washable travel jacket in the laundry. Zippered pockets keep your stuff secure, and the two-way front zipper lets you open the jacket from the top or bottom.
Columbia Switchback Jacket
The Columbia Switchback is the perfect jacket to pack when you're not sure if you're going to need a jacket. It will keep you dry if it rains and warm if it gets chilly, plus it folds down into its own pocket and takes up less space than a book.

Following the unceremonious exit of Darren Lehmann, Cricket Australia have said that the name of the new national coach will be announced in the coming weeks. In the aftermath of the ball-tampering fiasco, Lehmann decided to step down after sustained pressure from the country's cricket board, the government and the media. The CA Board met and discussed the process through which a new coach, as well as the captain and deputy of the men's ODI team, will be named prior to the team's tour to England in early June. Board chairman David Peever said recommendations for preferred candidates for the leadership positions will be ratified before being publicly announced.
"The Board has asked management to provide recommendations regarding candidates for the men's head coach, ODI captain, and ODI vice-captain," Peever said in a statement.
"The Board is anticipating receiving these recommendations in the coming weeks, with a view to making appointments ahead of the ODI tour to the UK.
"Once these appointments have been endorsed and finalised, announcements can then be made."
Wicketkeeper Tim Paine has been confirmed as Test captain for the immediate future, however, his involvement in the five ODI and one T20I England campaign remains unclear.
Former Test players Justin Langer, Jason Gillespie and Ricky Ponting have all been linked as potential candidates to replace Lehmann.
The 12-month suspensions of former captain Steve Smith and his deputy David Warner in the wake of the ball-tampering scandal in Cape Town last month, coupled with the resignation of Lehmann as coach, has prompted the need for the radical leadership revamp in Australian cricket.
It also led CA to commission an independent review into cultural, organisational and governance issues in cricket following the Cape Town incident.

Mockery of policing; OTV scribe looted at gun point in rush hour
Bhubaneswar: In an another instance of deterioration in law and order situation in Bhubaneswar, a youth scribe of a reputed regional news channel was robbed of his valuables including bike and mobile phone by two armed robbers at gun-point near the Honda showroom at Hanspal at around 6.30 pm today here.
Talking to the media, the loot victim and scribe of the news channel Odisha TV, Bikram Keshari Jena said the two looters riding a red CBZ bike intercepted him near the Honda showroom while returning home from Pahal on his YAMAHA R15 bike. When Jena stopped his bike, one of the two looters came close to him and asked to handover the valuables and leave his bike at gunpoint.
Seeing some resistance from the OTV scribe, another looter driving the red bike directed his associate to kill him with his gun following which Jena handed over his bike, gold chain, ring, wallet and mobile.
After looting all the valuables from the OTV scribe, the two looters fled the spot.
Somehow Jena managed to reach the Balianta police station to lodge a complaint.
Also read: Armed miscreants loot Rs13L, 1kg gold from UCO bank
The recent loot incidents including the robbery from the OTV scribe raise serious doubts about the effectiveness of the Twin City Police Commissionerate, which was established by the Odisha government in 2007 primarily to maintain better law and order situation in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack.
Notably, the Commissionerate Police is yet to nab the mastermind of the UCO Bank dacoity which occurred in broad daylight in Bapuji Nagar located at one of the prime areas of Bhubaneswar on September 28. Though the cops have managed to get some lead in the case in which Rs 13 lakh and one kg gold was looted from the UCO Bank locker and arrested two persons from outside the State, the main accused is still at large.

In 2006, Erik Benjamins spent six months in Florence, Italy as an American student abroad. Eight years later, he returned for six weeks to teach, walk, watch, think, eat, and learn. Butts of Florence is a collection of writing and photographs taken during this six-week stay. Formal black and white photographs of the butts of various Florentine sculptures punctuate writing that adopts the forms of diaristic entries, appropriated letter writing, travel guide tips, restaurant reviews, and poetic prose. Together, text and image build the arc of a hungry, critical, introspective, romantic, and grateful visitor.

The Jean Monnet Programme: teaching European Union studies at universities world-wide (01/11/2011)
- The Jean Monnet Action (this is key activity 1 of the Jean Monnet Programme) is designed to increase knowledge about European integration by promoting teaching, research and debate on the history, politics, economics and law of the European Union and the EU's relations with other areas of the world. Since 2007, the Jean Monnet Programme is integrated in the broader Lifelong Learning Programme.
- The Jean Monnet Action is aimed exclusively at higher education institutions (university-level institutions). Such establishments must be formally recognised in their country of origin as higher education institution and have a proper legal status before they can participate.
- Since 2001, the Jean Monnet Action operates on a world-wide basis. The network is currently active in 72 countries on the five continents. Universities from all countries in the world are eligible and encouraged to apply for Jean Monnet projects.
- The selection of Jean Monnet projects works via an annual call for proposals. The call is managed, on behalf of the European Commission by the "Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency". The 2012 call has a submission deadline on 15 February 2012 (for projects that can start at the earliest in September 2012).
- Via the call for proposals, higher education institutions can apply for support for the following sub-actions (applicants should read the full text of the call for proposals to understand the full set of requirements attached to each of the sub-actions):
- Jean Monnet Modules are short courses on European integration (including the EU's relations with other parts of the world) of minimum 40 teaching hours per academic year. Modules may be pluridisciplinary in approach (max grant over 3 years: 21.000€).
- Jean Monnet Chairs are teaching posts with a specialisation in European integration studies. Jean Monnet Chairholders teach a minimum of 90 hours per academic year in the field of European integration studies (max grant over 3 years: 45.000€).
"Ad personam" Jean Monnet Chairs constitute awards reserved for (i) Jean Monnet Chairs who deliver evidence of a high-level international teaching and publication record (that was achieved, at least in part, outside their country of residence) and/or (ii) professors with a distinguished background as former high-level practitioners in the field of European integration (max grant over 3 years: 45.000€).
Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence are a clearly labelled pluridisciplinary structures pooling scientific, human and documentary resources for European integration studies and research within one or more universities. Each Centre must work under the direction of a Jean Monnet Chair (max grant over 3 years: 75.000€).
- Support for associations of professors and researchers specializing in European integration addresses associations whose explicit purpose is to contribute to the study of the European integration process and whose aim is to enhance the visibility of regional or national scientific and physical resources in this domain (max grant over 3 years: 24.000€).
Support for information and research activities are, in fact, grants for the organisation of conferences, seminars, and roundtables on European integration (max grant over 1 year: 40.000€).
Jean Monnet Multilateral Research Groups are partnerships between at least three Jean Monnet Chairs from three different countries leading to the creation of an integrated academic network with a joint research plan and pluridisciplinary synergies in the field of European integration studies (max grant over 2 years: 80.000€).
- The Jean Monnet selection is centralised in Brussels to ensure full coherence in the application of the award criteria to applications from any country. Applications are submitted directly by the applying institution to the "Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency" on the standard application forms. They do not transit via government departments, permanent representations or other formal channels.
- The selection is based on a rigorous peer review system: independent academic experts (university professors) perform an assessment of the quality of each application in light of the published award criteria. Political or geographic considerations play no role in the selection.
- Applications are assessed on the basis of four "award criteria":
- Quality of the Applicants: Excellence of the academic profile (CVs) in the specific field of European integration studies.
- Quality of the methodology and the work programme: Quality and detail of the planned teaching, research and/or debating activities (with particular attention to the academic added value, the multidisciplinary synergies and the openness to civil society).
- Impact and relevance of the results: Likely impact of the activities on education and/or training at the European and/or world level, with specific attention for activities outside the EU.
- Innovative Character: Degree of innovation of the project: creation of new teaching, research and/or debating activities (as appropriate); application by higher education institutions / associations in countries not yet covered by the Jean Monnet Action or higher education institutions/ associations not yet supported by Jean Monnet funding or involving academics not yet in receipt of Jean Monnet funding for the same type of activity.
- In addition to the co-financing, selection during the Jean Monnet call for proposals brings academicprestige and recognition, networking opportunities within the Jean Monnet community, and the possibility to participate in Jean Monnet reflection activities (conferences and seminars).
- The Commission does not impose any restrictions on the academic freedom of recipients of Jean Monnet professorships. The Jean Monnet network is valuable and academically prestigious precisely because it constitutes a reservoir of independent and critical analysis on European Union questions.
The detailed information and application forms regarding the Jean Monnet call for proposals are available on the website of the "Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency" (EACEA): http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/llp/funding/2012/call_jean_monnet_action_ka1_2012_en.php

These lines are those than naturally occur between the nose and lips. Over time the nasolabial crease becomes deeper and heavier as a result of repeated and increased use of the muscles around this area, a loss of muscle volume, cheek fat and elasticity in the overlying skin. In some cases individuals find the depth of these folds undesirable, dermal fillers are the treatment of choice for these facial lines.
Treatment For Smokers / Lip Lines
Anti-Ageing Injections
A combination of treatments can assist in treating smokers lines. A judicious use of BTX in around the area can reduce the amount of muscular activity around the lips which has the effect of softening these lines…
Dermal Fillers Injections
Alternatively if the lines are deeper a fine dermal filler (Hyaluronic Acid) can be injected to fill in these lines. A combination of both of these treatments can be effective as the BTX treatment can help increase the longevity and effectiveness of the dermal filler.

Mahindra Marazzo's official twitter handle recently released a short video/teaser cut out of an advert. The video was captioned 'Get an exclusive preview of the Mahindra Marazzo' teaser TV ad. Smooth as a shark. Silent as a shark. Coming soon on 3rd Sept'18.'
Get an exclusive preview of the Mahindra Marazzo teaser TV ad. Smooth as a shark. Silent as a shark. Coming soon on 3rd Sept'18. https://t.co/0aJ2DB1ePC pic.twitter.com/HsQlqXlLNz
— Mahindra Marazzo (@MahindraMarazzo) August 25, 2018
The video clip which is just 10 seconds long shows a shark rising through water and moving towards a metropolitan city. The next scene shows the Marazzo front grille with water dripping all over it. The video then ends with Marazzo name being displayed along with the launch date of 3rd September. The background score seems to instill suspense into the clip.
This is actually a teaser of an upcoming advertisement of the Mahindra Marazzo MPV. As the company says that the Marazzo is inspired by a shark, the advert follows the same theme. This twitter handle is updated regularly and some time back gave us a peek into the interiors of the car. The company is working really hard to get this one right.
The grille design is the same as what we have been seeing for some time now. It features a U-shaped center piece with the Mahindra logo on top. The centre piece is flanked by several flattened D-shaped pieces, which are tilted at an angle. All the grille pieces are covered in chrome, giving them a premium finish. This one is very different from any other Mahindra grille we have seen in the past. This strengthens the fact that this car is being made from the ground up.
Talking about the car, the Marazzo is the most premium MUV by Mahindra yet. Its also the largest car in terms of footprint by Mahindra till now. It will get a 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel engine good for 130 hp and 300-Nm torque that is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. Airbags, ABS with EBD and rear parking sensors will be standard across the full range. The car will be made available in both 7-seater and 8-seater configurations. There's no official word on the pricing yet but expect it to start just below Rs. 10 lakh mark.

Hawke's Bay have earned the right to challenge new holders Nelson for the Hawke Cup, the symbol of minor cricket supremacy in New Zealand, in a fortnight.
The Pay Excellence-sponsored Bay men's senior representative cricket team claimed a first-innings victory over second-placed Manawatu at Fitzherbert Park, Palmerston North, at the weekend to lift the Furlong Cup for the zone 2 qualifiers.
"It is obviously happy to be back challenging again so we're pretty excited," said captain Jacob Smith who was in the losing challenge against Marlborough as a 19-year-old, winning it from North Otago in 2016 before losing it in their first defence to the Bay of Plenty a fortnight later.
Smith considered himself lucky to be in a bumper summer era when quality cricketers provided the platform to savour the excitement reserved for a selected few around the country.
Zone 3 qualifiers Nelson beat zone 4 holders Southland to etch their name on the Hawke Cup for the first time in 22 years under the leadership of Central Districts Stags first-class captain Greg Hay on Sunday.
It was the 34-year-old opening batsman's first success in three attempts as he forged a valuable first-innings partnership of 297 runs with young Thomas Zohrab (122) who scored his maiden century.
Southland (zone 4) were the holders since taking the cup off Counties-Manukau (zone 1) in the final challenge of the summer of 2017-18.
Nelson will host the Bay in their first defence at Saxton Oval from March 1.
The Bay, under the tutelage of Dave Castle in his first season, stunned Manawatū for just 41 runs on Saturday, with ex-CD and Heretaunga Building Society Cornwall CC seamer Liam Dudding taking 7-16 while You Travel Taradale CC seamer Ben Stoyanoff chipped in with 3-17.
"We were lucky because we won the toss and it had probably rained the day before so it was a toss to win, to be honest, but Dudding and Stoyanoff did the job," said Smith, also the Cornwall premier men's team skipper.
CD Plunket Shield batsman Bradley Schmulian then scored an unbeaten 154 for a total of 325-9 declared before the hosts were 182-7 when both captains shook hands. The Bay scored 56 points from their five-match campaign with Manawatū second with 39.
Smith said when they started asking for middle and leg about an hour later the wicket was still tricky.
"Schmulian went out there and made it look fairly easy with Bayley [Wiggins] and the others," he said.
The Bay men last won the Hawke Cup under coach Colin Schaw, of Central Hawke's Bay, against North Otago in the 2015-16 season but lost it in their first defence to Bay of Plenty.
Smith said the Bay often played Nelson in the three-day Chapple Cup interdistrict tournament, the symbol of white-ball supremacy among regions in the CD region.
"We know a lot of their players so it's probably be a little less foreign territory than going to Southland, which could have been the case," he said, also mindful the Nelson weather would more likely guarantee three playing days.
Saxton Oval isn't a familiar venue to all, bar the players with Stags experience.
"I haven't played them [Nelson] once in my whole career there," Smith said of the red-ball format.
He wasn't sure if CD coach Heinrich Malan would release Schmulian for the challenge although Nelson would lose Hay with the defending champions Stags facing the Canterbury Kings on Thursday in Rangiora, near Christchurch, when the four-day Plunket Shield campaign resumes.
Malan said they were travelling today back from Hamilton after winning the Super Smash T20 crown on Sunday so no decision would be made on the CD playing squad until they gather tomorrow.
"We haven't set out our structure as yet," he said, confirming anyone not selected would be able to play for the Bay or Nelson.
Manawatu 41 and 182-7 lost to Pay Excellence Hawke's Bay 325-9 declared by first innings.
Horowhenua-Kapiti 273 and 126 lost outright to Taranaki 415.
Wairarapa 279 lost by first innings to Whanganui 385-8.
Hawke's Bay will challenge new Hawke Cup holders Nelson in a fortnight.
Final standings: Hawke's Bay 56pts, Manawatu 39, Horowhenua-Kapiti 38, Taranaki 37, Whanganui 34, Wairarapa 29.

Over the years I've found the number one determining factor in how my skin looks that day has less to do with the products I'm using and pretty much everything to do with how close I am to that time of the month. We all know we should expect a pesky pimple or two a few days before the start of a period, but do you really think your menstrual cycle is letting your skin off the hook after that? After experiencing a few too many dry skin spells around ovulation time, I consulted with Dr. Tsippora Shainhouse, a board-certified dermatologist in Los Angeles and clinical instructor at the University of Southern California, to find out what changes we can expect during the various phases of our menstrual cycle and how to care for our skin during this time.
After Your Period And Though Ovulation
"As you might remember from those graphs in junior high health class, the average menstrual cycle last about 28 days, with ovulation at around day 14-15," Shainhouse says. "For the first half of the cycle, the estrogen is high to help prepare for a new egg to mature and prepare the uterine lining for possible implantation. Your skin looks its best when estrogen is high." Since you can count on this phase to give you the most glorious skin you'll have all month, Shainhouse says most women do not break out at this time and can continue their regular, gentle face washing and moisturizing routine.
From Ovulation Up Until A Few Days Before Your Period
Blame the hormone progesterone for your skin woes during this time. "During the second half of the cycle the progesterone rises, with the intent of maintaining the corpus luteum and keeping the uterine lining ready and primed for a potential embryo," Shainhouse says. "Progesterone increases sebum production, which gets released into the follicles and onto the skin. It can also make the skin and follicles a little swollen, which can make pores look great temporarily, but is actually holding in the sebum and oil, which makes for a great breeding ground for acne and inflammation-causing bacteria in the hair follicle."
During this time, it's especially important to keep the skin clean from outside bacteria, which means keeping your hands off of your face and wiping down your cell phone and work phone regularly, Shainhouse says. Additional skincare steps she advises taking include using a salicylic acid wash to help reduce oil on the skin, considering a benzoyl-peroxide based cream to kill bacteria, and incorporating a topical Retin-A cream at bedtime to help exfoliate and unclog your pores.
Right Before Your Period
Hold onto your hat–you're almost out of the woods. A few days before your period begins, your estrogen and progesterone levels drop significantly, which means there's less estrogen in your body to help combat the effects of testosterone." Testosterone encourages even more sebum production and can trigger inflammation," Shainhouse says. "These hormonal acne lesions are tough to manage and can be tougher to prevent."
Take extremely good care of your skin during this time by using a gentle wash. You should also consider a light acid toner to reduce extra sebum and oil; look for products that contain glycolic acid and salicylic acid. A topical retinoid cream continues to be effective, as are on-the-spot acne treatments, Shainhouse says.
"Deeper, tender cysts might require steroid injections by a dermatologist," Shainhouse says. "If you are one of the women who flares with significant acne just before you period, consider oral medications that will level your estrogen and reduce the effects of testosterone. Discuss starting an oral birth control pill or spironolactone, a pill that can block some of the testosterone in the body."

Adjusting to School When You're the New Kid
Moving to a new town can be tough on kids. Leaving behind friends and familiar places is hard enough; add in the anxiety of starting at a new school and it's a lot for any child to handle. But while change is challenging, it can also be positive. Here are some tips for helping your children blossom at their new school:
- Prepare your children. Make them part of the process of learning about their new school. Go to orientation together or arrange for a tour. Older children, especially, will appreciate the opportunity to get the lay of the land and figure out where their classes are before the first day. Show them where the bathrooms, gymnasium, auditorium and nurse's office are. If possible, have them introduced to their teachers. They will feel much more confident when they start if they are not feeling lost.
- Meet friends before school starts. Tweens and teens may have the opportunity to try out for and/or join sports teams or band during the summer. This is a fantastic way for them to meet others with common interests. For younger children, sign them up for day camps either at the school they will be attending (if offered) or at local rec centers. If your community has a pool or play area, you will likely meet people there that will be attending the same schools. Joining a community league sports team is also a great way to meet other kids that you'll likely see at school as well.
- Replicate or create first day of school traditions. If there are things you have always done to celebrate the first day of school, stick with them. That will give your kids a sense of familiarity and make the change of a new school less dramatic. If you haven't established any traditions for back to school, now is a good time to start. Whether you fix a special breakfast, or take them for a treat at the end of the day, that little extra bit of TLC is sure to make them feel better. 21 Back-to-School Traditions to Try This Year
- Practice driving to school. This might sound silly, but the last thing your children need on their first day at a new school is to be late. If you are driving them to school, choose a weekday to take a test run at the same time you will be driving during the school year. That way you will have a good idea of what time everyone needs to wake up and be ready to go. Keep in mind that there will likely be more traffic when school starts, so give yourself a little extra time. Make sure you know where to drop your children off and pick them up and what the procedures are for the car line. If you are stressed, your children will be too. If you know what you are doing, they will feel more confident. If your children are riding the bus to school, be sure to know where the bus stop is and what time you need to be there.
- Make sure your children get plenty of sleep. Anxiety can make it difficult to sleep well. Sleep deprivation in turn creates more anxiety. While you can't force your children to fall asleep, you can create an environment to aid them. Limit screen time and make sure all electronics are put away before bed time. Set a bed-time routine and stick to it. With all the changes taking place in their lives, children need the consistency of routine. 6 Tips for Getting Back to a School-Year Bedtime Routine
- Don't make it a big deal. Sometimes the bigger a deal you make something, the more nerve-racking it becomes. School is everyday business. Talk openly with your kids about it. Acknowledge that it's normal to be nervous, but emphasize, that you know they will be ok. Avoid creating such high expectations that anything less than a perfect experience will feel disappointing to them.

Newspaper launches might be rare nowadays, but yesterday saw The National's first issue as it attempts to give a pro-independence voice in the print media. It's not quite got the esteem and weight of the bigger papers that dominate print journalism yet, but as a start it's been more than promising.
It's now over two months since the referendum that encapsulated Scotland; but even though the result was a No vote by a margin of 55-45 percent, the Yes campaigners have not backed down in their pursuit of a fairer, more prosperous and, one day, independent Scotland. The mainstream media has been vociferously attacked for its' perceived failure both before and after the referendum to accurately portray the real strength of feeling and breadth of campaigning that invigorated the independence campaign. Only the Sunday Herald came out before the referendum in favour of independence, while other papers either abstained or actively wrote against it. Despite getting 45% of the vote in the referendum, those with a desire to see an independent Scotland didn't really have a newspaper that aligned with their views and what they'd like to read.
That's where The National comes in. As a paper, it takes a distinct journalistic style, somewhere between that of stable-mate and the only other openly pro-Yes newspaper the Sunday Herald and other compact 'broadsheets' such as The Independent's i paper, covering all the bases you would expect from a daily with a special emphasis on Scotland. At it's core is an editorial agenda that supports Scottish independence and looks at stories from that viewpoint. Yesterday's headline was on "charities' plea for welfare powers" to be devolved to Scotland. It also featured other referendum-related stories such as a poll that found increasing youth engagement in Scottish political campaigning and Labour darling Jim Murphy saying that people think of his party as the "No" party. These are the sort of stories that don't get too much column inches in the other papers, and to see them in a print newspaper is good. But The National is about more than just independence and Scottish politics; it has a rather interesting international section as well, with stories from countries around the world that aren't as well reported in the media such as the shooting of a Danish tourist in Saudi Arabia and reports that 90 year-old Robert Mugabe has seized even more power for himself in Zimbabwe so that he can unilaterally name his successor. The National seems to be a good paper all-round, striking up a good balance between its' editorial themes and more general news, and hopefully it can continue to be so day-in day-out.
The initial print-run for yesterday's paper was 50,000 – but with reports around the country of shortages (with rather tame marketing efforts also to blame), the run is being increased to 100,000 for the rest of this week's trial run. It is hoped that if all goes well for the paper that The National will become a feature of the newsstands across Scotland, and judging by today's response then its' chances are good. The Daily Record is only selling around 200,000 copies per day and broadsheets such as The National's sister paper The Herald are lower at around 40,000 copies per day – so even if The National falls away after its' post-launch boom then it will still manage to succeed.
However, The National has not been a success on all fronts. It has a website at thenational.scot but it's only a holding page at the moment, with no content apart from a brief statement of intent and the ability to buy a digital subscription. Although it's rather bold in the modern age to launch a physical newspaper, it's even bolder still to do so without much of a web presence either. The website will be up in due time, and there's not exactly a void of pro-independence news websites with the likes of Bella Caledonia and Wings over Scotland providing ample journalistic scrutiny of the Scottish political landscape, although to have something slightly more objective and broad will be better.
There's also the issue of the paper's relative brevity, with the first issue weighing it at only 32 pages. Considering the paper's price point is 50p, The National is in competition with the likes of The Sun (40p) and the Daily Record (55p) which both publish larger issues each day, so it's questionable whether the unique selling point of The National will be able to hold on to much of its' readership during the less politically engaged times which will eventually be ahead.
And finally, The National doesn't seem to be the vehicle to convert No voters to Yes voters for any potential future referendum. The paper is of good quality, but it's editorial slant might not be accepted by those with less positive views towards independence and therefore it may well just be preaching to the converted. The independence movement needs to reach out and cross the aisle to take a step forward, rather than build more internal connections within itself.
Scotland's media has seen a new player in town this week, and one that is showing that it will have the alternative voice that people demand. Whether it's success, and that of the sustained independence movement, can continue will take month and years to decide though, not just a week's worth of issues.

Mason Noise WILL join The X Factor 2015 again it's been officially confirmed today.
In Sunday's six chair challenge we saw Mason originally impress the panel with a mash up of Earned It/The Fix/Sexy Back only for it to go BADLY wrong.
Before getting a seat Mason went on a bit of rant at the show and complained about only being on screen for 47 seconds for his original audition.
Rowing with X Factor boss Simon Cowell, Mason was branded an "absolute a**ehole" before he stormed off stage.
Following Tom Bleasby's decision to withdraw from The X Factor, The X Factor has today confirmed that Mason Noise has been invited to take the remaining sixth place at Nick's Judges Houses.
Speaking of his decision to invite Mason back, Grimmy said: "After Tom decided to leave the show, Mason was the person I wanted to bring back.
"Yes he was difficult at the 6 Chair Challenge, but people with an artistic temperament can be difficult. He's talented and in previous auditions excited us Judges. Sometimes a challenge is interesting."
Mason added: "I appreciate Nick inviting me back on the show. And even more so, I appreciate the fact he understands what I am trying to achieve... challenge accepted!"
Mason will now perform for Nick and his guest Judge at his Judge's House, along with the five other boys in the category – Ben Clark, Ché Chesterman, Josh Daniel, Seann Miley Moore and Simon Lynch.
The X Factor continues this Sunday night on ITV with the six chair challenge featuring the Groups and Overs.
Judges' houses will air on Saturday and Sunday night, October 24 and 25.

What you've said about wanting real-time water use data
Would you find value in knowing how much water you're using each day? How about receiving alerts within 24 hours of us detecting unusual water use that could indicate a leak? These options would be possible if current water meters are replaced with digital meters, which can provide water meter readings multiple times a day rather than the current method of one manual reading every three months.
Greater awareness of water use data could help us all to reduce our water use, which is important in the face of a rapidly growing population and a drier climate.
Our customers have differing opinions - here's what some of you have said:
Chris from Ferntree Gully:
When water usage increases dramatically from one bill to another the bill payer should be notified (i.e. if there is a leak). If digital meters are added, they are a cost of the infrastructure, not an added cost to the consumer… They could also help to discover leaks so say over two days the usage is high, the customer should get a text to say something might be wrong.
Bridie from Clayton said:
I would like to see more of a break-down of when we use our water. I can see how much we use over a three month period at the moment on our bill, but I would love to have finer detail than that to get a better idea about where we can reduce our water usage.
O from Aspendale:
Yes, I would (pay more) but not just to replace the paper bill, only for technology that adds to water saving.

It's good idea to have a digital meter installed to monitor the usage on the fly, achieve finer control from water company, spot any leakage (earlier and easier), and spot any sneaky water thieves. We can keep track of real time usage is one thing, also good for adjusting our usage pattern to achieve better water saving. Although I can foresee the extra cost on "installation" or "service charge" of the digital meter (may also need a network connection), but nothing is for everyone, so maybe you guys can provide an option to allow the people opt in for digital meter instead of for...

I am totally opposed to the unnecessary expense, waste and radiation hazard of this proposal
2 years ago
Yes, I would be pleased to have a digital meter installed IF it is used to alert water usage spikes. this would be especially useful if we are on vacation. I wonder what sort of time reaction time would be involved? In what time frame does a slow leak become evident?
What are the statistics on leaks and pipe bursts for residential/commercial/industrial premises?
Is the technology/hardware already available?
This could be beneficial for commercial/industrial premises where water usage could be expected within certain hours of the day ONLY - so alerts could be within less than 12/24hrs. But for re...

I would like further information. Tell me more about the technology. I would not support further technology like smart meters because of there electromagnetic radiation but i do like the concept of more up to date information on water usage for behavior change purposes. Also what is the cost? a broad estimate would be helpful. Thank you
2 years ago
No. Why can't you allocate from the existing revenues or financial resources. Or try to ct cost? Keep increasing rates is one of the factors that will kill local businesses due to higher cost of productions against imported goods. Also, Australian products will lost competion in Export markets internationally.

At the least, I'd like something like the energyeasy portal that United Energy provides to properties within their area. I can view our electricity use from home and study daily and weekly trends. It's powerful data to influence greater understanding, behaviour change, as well as enabling the analysis of new technologies.

Lynne from Drouin Is this going to cost us any money, we are in one of 3 units. When they were built they put one metre in and the bill is split 3 ways. Can that be changed at no cost to us?

Do NOT want any digital technology for water. The so-called smart meters are a dangerous and unnecessary hazard. I'm happy with my water meter thank you.

OFF INTO THE WILD WET YONDER How does this...
Beijing by Illegal Drone
- Aug 31, 2015 9:09 PM

- 0 Comments
One of the great things about being a foreigner, or a tourist, is that you can talk your way out of almost anything in another country (serious crimes excluded, obviously). In my 20+ years as an expat, I have talked or haggled my way out of almost everything—speeding tickets, drunken disorderliness, wrecked rental motorcycles, hotel policies, and practically everything in between. I've seen the inside of police cars and stations in almost every country I've traveled, and (for better or worse) it's something I consider a badge of pride.
Through these years of gallivanting and globetrotting, however, I have never had to talk my way out of filming something I wasn't supposed to, something deemed culturally or government sensitive. Not yet at least.
So stumbling across this video of Beijing by drone, I just had to share. Leave it to a "naïve" foreigner to pull something like this off—or almost.
The pilot is Trey Ratcliff from Stuck in Customs. Anyone into photography might know Trey from his great site and informative Youtube page.
