1 EVENT PLANNING CHECKLIST The following checklist is based on a six- week timeframe. Take more time for planning if you have it, or condense the timeline if you have less than six weeks. Just be sure to check all the items! 6 Weeks Out Identify potential planning committee members and hold your first meeting. Compile a list of possible partners, including community groups, non- profits, businesses, local leaders, religious entities, health organizations and news outlets. Partners are often helpful in providing funding, a location, and/or in- kind contributions, and can play an important role in helping publicize the event. Begin researching event locations. Visit each location and meet with location representatives to discuss core event components. Be sure to ask your partners if they have any suggestions, and check out where past community events have been held. Decide on a spokesperson from your planning committee to communicate with news outlets. It is less complicated the media if they can build a relationship with one person on your committee. Once the spokesperson is identified make sure he or she is trained on the event and issue and knows how to answer frequently asked questions correctly. Identify speakers for your event (if speeches will be given). Speakers might include community leaders, health experts, and doctors or patients who can speak about the disease. One or more members of your planning committee might also deliver remarks at the event, either as a master of ceremonies or as a speaker. Create a contact list (or lists!) to stay in touch with committee members, partners and other supporters.
2 5 Weeks Out Develop a schedule for regular (e.g., weekly or bi- weekly) meetings or conference calls. Decide on a place, date and time for your event. Choose a location and time that allows for maximum attendance by members of the community and the press. Remember to do a walk- through and make sure you have access to electricity, extension cords and other necessities. If your planned venue is outdoors, secure an alternate location, a tent or a rain date in case of inclement weather. Establish subcommittees to manage portions of the planning, such as: o Site logistics Supervise the set- up and clean- up, equipment rental, volunteer management and floor plan. o Partner/fundraising outreach Solicit help from other groups and organizations, as well as individuals. o Media and promotion Pitch to the press, create media lists, write media materials and provide media training for spokespersons. o Crowd- building Advertise the event to the community, local organizations, businesses and the media to increase attendance and recruit volunteers for the day of the event. o Evaluation Evaluate the effectiveness of the event, share your success with WorldPneumoniaDay.org and write down lessons learned for future events. Draft an event budget that reflects estimated costs, including equipment rentals (tables, chairs, staging, microphones, speakers) food/drink, venue rental fee, etc. Based on budget, discuss fundraising needs and tactics. 4 Weeks Out Contact partner groups. Tell them about the importance of pneumonia and the event itself. Ask whether they can help by providing a speaker, telling other people about the event, or offering funding or in- kind contributions. 2
3 Seek quotes (and contracts) from any vendors for rental equipment, such as audio- visual systems or transportation needs. Invite speakers (if applicable for your event) via mail, telephone, and in- person. Continue sub- committee work to plan event. If helpful, create venue maps and detailed timelines. Begin design of event materials, including banners, directional signs and handouts Send a calendar listing to relevant newspapers, TV news shows and websites that list community events. Create an e- mail listserv to update all interested participants. Provide weekly updates (or even more frequent s) to generate interest and enthusiasm. 3 Weeks Out Register your event at Continue outreach to partner organizations, volunteers, the media and speakers. Secure vendor contracts Recruit volunteers to help with planning ahead of time, set- up before the event and break- down after the event. Promote the event with your friends, colleagues, community members and other contacts through s, fliers, posters, and (pre- approved) announcements at public and religious meetings to post throughout the community. Begin to develop press materials, including why pneumonia is important and why local organizations are getting involved. 3
4 2 Weeks Out Send official confirmation information and logistics to all participants (partner organizations, volunteers, the media, speakers) with suggested arrival time, set- up instructions, contact information, power availability and parking. Keep in mind that speakers and volunteers should have an earlier arrival time than media and guests to ensure the event can start on time. Reach out to volunteers to thank them and confirm their assignments and arrival times. Assign working group members and volunteers specific duties before, during and after the event. Tasks may include: o Set- up/tear- down o Volunteer coordination o Parking/security o Participant check- in and assistance o Attendee check- in o Information booth staffing o Follow- up care information o Photograph the event and participants Continue to crowd build and ask every partner organization to do the same. A good way to do this is to share a template invitation that partners can easily send to their members. Conduct a final walk- through of the site with the venue representative. Confirm event set up, rental needs and timing both when you ll be able to access the space, and when you ll need to vacate it. Finalize designed materials Create a "day of event" checklist with a minute- by- minute timeline. Create a sign- in sheet to record the names, organizations and contact information of attendees for the event. Buy film or disposable cameras to document the event, or hire a professional photographer. Week of Event 4
5 Four Days Prior to Event Continue outreach to media and offer pre- event media interviews with speakers. Consider assigning planning committee members to do interviews on various local radio stations during morning and evening drive times to promote the event. Send committee members and volunteers throughout the community to promote the event and encourage attendance. Send background materials on the event (including FAQs, event logistics and any relevant news articles) to speakers and volunteers. Be sure to schedule an in- person or phone briefing with each speaker to ensure they are ready for the event. Print out helpful World Pneumonia Day resources to distribute at the event. Ensure that each volunteer is confirmed and trained for their position. If necessary, hold a volunteer orientation one evening to go over the logistics of the event and their role in it. Day before Event Place reminder calls to all media contacts. Host final planning committee meeting to run through last- minute details. Be sure to provide cell phone numbers to speakers, partners and other key attendees if they should have difficulty finding the event the next day. Morning of Event Check in with media contacts to confirm attendance. Meet with volunteers to make final assignments and answer any questions or concerns they may have. If your budget allows, provide them a light breakfast such as muffins, donuts, juice and coffee. Set up equipment, directional signs, and have staff on hand to greet speakers, the media, partners and other key attendees. 5
6 Place sign- in sheets near the entrance. Have volunteers staff the table to ensure all attendees sign in. Distribute World Pneumonia Day materials to attendees, by handing them out or placing them on chairs. Gather all speakers together before the event to answer questions and introduce participants. Take photos! Following the Event Send thank- you notes to everyone who attended, participated or supported the event. Watch the news coverage and keep a record with clippings and print outs. Tell us about your event at and send us photos and news clips if possible! Keep contact information on hand for future events. 6

David Pannick QC, a practising barrister at Blackstone Chambers in the Temple, a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, and a crossbench peer in the House of Lords wrote in the Times on July 18 2013. He said here:
"The recently passed Defamation Act 2013 will introduce much-needed reform of an area of the law that has become an anachronistic, obscure and unjustifiable fetter on freedom of speech. It comes into force later this year. But not in Northern Ireland. The reluctance of Northern Ireland politicians to adopt the 2013 Act will, as a libel lawyer would say, lower them in the estimation of right-thinking people.
The coalition agreement promised a review of the law of defamation. The Government published a draft Bill, which was the subject of public consultation and pre-legislative scrutiny. This led to all-party agreement on the necessary reforms.
The Act will allow a libel claim to be brought only if the claimant can show "serious harm" to his or her reputation. The defences of truth, honest opinion and publication on a matter of public interest are clarified.The application of libel law to the operators of websites is addressed. Peer-reviewed statements in scientific or academic journals are given greater legal protection.
Limits are also placed on libel tourism, that is the ability of people not domiciled in the United Kingdom or another member state of the EU to bring legal proceedings in our courts. And the Act removes the presumption in favour of jury trial for libel claims.
All of these necessary, valuable and essentially uncontroversial reforms will help to secure a much fairer balance between freedom of expression and the protection of reputation.
Shakespeare's Iago complained that "he that filches from me my good name /Robs me of that which not enriches him /And makes me poor indeed". Modern-day Iagos will now find it much more difficult to make themselves very rich indeed from awards of compensation or to abuse the law of libel to deter criticisms that are justified or in the public interest.David Pannick QC then looked at the specific actions taken by Sammy Wilson, the Minister with portfolio responsible for this devolved matter:
But these welcome reforms are not being adopted in Northern Ireland. Defamation, like other civil law issues, is a devolved area. So the law on this topic is a matter for the Northern Ireland Executive and Assembly. The Westminster Parliament remains sovereign, but will not normally enact primary legislation on devolved matters except with the agreement of the Assembly in the form of a "legislative consent motion".
Because of concern about the absence of such a motion, the Minister of State for Justice, Lord McNally, wrote a detailed letter to the Northern Ireland Minister, Sammy Wilson, in May explaining the purpose and effect of the new Act.
Mr Wilson replied on June 26:
"I have no plans to review the law on defamation in Northern Ireland." Martin McGuinness, the Deputy First Minister, told the Assembly last month that the question has "never appeared on the agenda of any Executive meeting".David Pannick QC then looked at the debates in the House of Lords:
In a debate on this subject in the House of Lords on June 27, led by Lord Lexden, the damaging consequences of such inaction were spelt out.
So the Northern Ireland public will not enjoy the same rights to free speech, courts will continue to apply antiquated legal rules and, as Lord Lester of Herne Hill emphasised, the United Kingdom Government will be answerable in Strasbourg for breaches of human rights principles that the 2013 Act was designed to rectify.
Lord Black of Brentwood explained that publishers and other media companies will be reluctant to set up business in Northern Ireland, and will face the difficulty of either sanitising content for Northern Ireland publication or adopting a lowest common denominator approach to publications because of the risk of legal action there.
Lord Bew added that academics at Queen's University Belfast will not enjoy the same legal protection of their academic freedom as will be guaranteed in England and Wales.David Pannick QC then drew some conclusions and asked some open questions:
There may, of course, be some justification for the reluctance of Northern Ireland politicians to bring the law of libel into the 21st century and to adopt the legal principles that have been widely welcomed in England and Wales.
Perhaps there is something unique about free speech and reputation in Northern Ireland that demands the retention of laws that purport to address communications but were developed before the internet, blogs and tweets, and in many respects even before (in the words of the Ira Gershwin lyric) "they told Marconi, wireless was a phoney".
It is impossible to say why Northern Ireland is to be kept in the dark ages of libel law, since the Northern Ireland Executive is so reluctant to address the issue.
But what can be said with some confidence is that libel lawyers often quote the biblical statement that "a good name smells sweeter than the finest ointment", and a very unpleasant odour can be detected in the law in Northern Ireland.'

Over the weekend we headed out to Rydal to see what the action was like at the Chocolate Foot's Single Track Mind series and we were impressed. We wanted to see what other MTB event companies were doing and shoot at some new trails. Rydal is a tiny country town with only a dozen houses maybe and a exhibition oval on top of the hill. The trails here are quite new, being only two years old and the members of the Central Tablelands MTB Club are very enthusiastic about what they have achieved there. Rightly so, the 9km circuit used for the day is single-track nirvana, not only is it in some beautiful gum tree forests, which will never be logged, but there is never more than 20metres of straight trail.
As for shooting, we were very fortunate to have some thick cloud cover for most of the day providing very soft and even light eliminating the harsh shadows and requiring loads of flash to balance out. Because of the large number of trees and shin high grass in places getting low with a long 200mm lens made for some great shots. A few dead tree roots were built up to give the more adventurous or experienced rider something to fly off but many showed off for the camera and had some fun.
The course runs along top of a ridge-line in a large loop from the grounds where everyone had set up camps and fires obviously coming out the night before and enjoying the cool fresh air that only the outdoors can provide. Joe and Fiona of Chocolate Foot put on a great race and had plenty of praise for this course. As usual, the MTB community are a tight knit group who love the sport and the outdoors, if you haven't attended one of their events or simply the Rydal event check it out, you wont be disappointed.

LOWER MERION TWP., Pa. (WPVI) --An early morning crash on City Avenue in Lower Merion sent two people to the hospital, including an infant.
Police say it was around 1:30 a.m. when a Mercedes C Class slammed into a Ford Escape on City Avenue, near Merion Avenue in Lower Merion Township.
The impact sent the Ford spinning around, and caused it to catch on fire.
A 6-month-old child was rushed to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Another person was taken to Lankenau Hospital.
So far, there is no word on who caused the crash or if any charges will be filed.

A Bug's Life
1 comment:
I saw A Bug's Life when it first came out in the theater and didn't like it that much. I hardly remembered anything about it, unlike other early Pixar movies I also saw in theaters like Toy Story and Monsters Inc. I actually never saw Bug's Life again until just a couple of years ago (when I was unemployed and had a lot of free time). I liked it better than I did as a kid, but not as much as other Pixar films. The story wasn't anything special to me as I've seen the whole ongoing misunderstanding, liar revealed, and average everyman proving himself stories many times before. But what I did really enjoy about it is the fact that the characters are bugs and all the unique ways the setting is designed to convey that, like how the bug city is made of human trash items and how they use thimbles as cups and how a cute little bird can seem so vicious...stuff like that is a lot of fun. So yeah, not my favorite, but still a decent movie.ReplyDelete

That's what I'll do.
I'll create a new language that's a glorious hodge podge, or potpourri if you'll allow for it, of the two languages I flutter back and forth from to study. I've studied Chinese and Thai since I was little but haven't seemed to master either language. Just when I get to a point of good standing it's time to move back to the other language.
During my younger years, (approximately years 3-10) we lived in Chinese-speaking countries. Well, there was Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong, but that is an entirely different blog post. From ages 10-17 we lived in Thailand. I took Thai in high school and one year of Spanish.
In college, I took two years of Chinese. My junior year of college, I studied abroad at Tsinghua University in Beijing for eight months. Now, I am back in Thailand studying Thai.
Sadly, now I fear my Chinese is fading. It almost has to be pushed to the back of my mind because in language class my sentences are coming out half Thai and half Chinese. Sometimes it takes a confused look from my teacher to realize I must have used a Chinese word in my sentence. Thai and Chinese are both tonal languages. Thai has five tones and Chinese has four tones. The second tone is said differently in Thai than it is in Chinese. This has caused a few problems.
I'm not complaining–but I've realized that in studying one language I inevitably forget the other language. What's the remedy? Since pushing a magic button for fluency in languages isn't feasible quite yet, (maybe it will be in 2012 if the Mayans aren't right in their predictions) my only other solution is to propose the creation of a new language. This new language would be a combination of Thai and Chinese. I'm thinking of possible names, Thaichinese, is one choice, but I do feel that is slightly predictable. Here's another Chithai. Thainese?
Thoughts? I am open to suggestions.
สวัสดีค่ะ , 再见 Sawatdii kah, Zai jian!

This morning we had our playgroup at Jessica and Miss Hadley Joy's house. Thank you ladies for being such great hostesses!!
Zachary and Joy looked like they were having fun!
Miss Aubrey was rockin' the athletic instructor look, I LOVE it!!!
Sweet Eli Priddle made his official playgroup debut this week!!
It was a beautiful day so the girls spent some time soaking up the sun or shade... its whatever.
By the time Eli was leaving he was struggling to keep his eyes open. I think his first playgroup wore him out. =)
Next week's playgroup will be at the zoo. Not sure if it will be Thursday or Friday, it will depend on the weather.

I had two new stories published in 2012, "Expectant Green" with John Kenny, a science fiction novella appearing in Jupiter 35 and "The R'lyeh Singularity" with Brian M. Sammons appearing in Cthulhu Unbound 3, from Permuted Press which was released as an e-book. This anthology I also co-edited Brian and featured Cthulhu Mythos novellas from Cody Goodfellow, D.L. Snell and Tim Curran, as well as our contribution. I've been informed the print version will be released in 2013.
On the reprint front, "Winds of Nzambi", a Cthulhu Mythos horror novella concerning the Portuguese slave trade in the Congo which I co-wrote with David Kernot, appeared in two 'Best of' collections, The Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horror 2011, edited by Liz Grzyb and Talie Helene, and Award Winning Australian Writing 2012. My other reprint was "The Swelling" which appeared in Innsmouth Magazine Collection Issues 1-4 making it one of my most reprinted stories.
My illustrations appeared on the cover of Jupiter 38: Pasithee and Jupiter 36: Spond. "The Masked Messenger" co-authored with John Goodrich that appeared in Andromeda Spaceways last year, received an honourable mention from Ellen Datlow in Best Horror of the Year Volume 4. Midnight Echo 6 which I co-edited last year received another honourable mention in the Australian Shadows Awards. I also interviewed Iain M. Banks for Albedo One Issue 41.
Anthologies that I have been editing this year are Undead & Unbound (horror) with Brian M. Sammons, Extreme Planets (science fiction) with David Kernot and Jeff Harris, and Cthulhu's Dark Cults II (Cthulhu Mythos). None are yet released. I'm also editing a sourcebook for the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game.
Publications coming out next year are all in anthologies and include "The Road to Afghanistan" (What Scares the Bogeyman?), "Romero 2.0" with Brian M. Sammons (Undead & Unbound) and "Playgrounds of Angolaland" (Eldritch Chrome).
That's it. Thanks especially to David Kernot, Brian M Sammons, Jeff Harris, Cody Goodfellow, Paul Drummond, Jeffrey Thomas, CJ Henderson, David Brin, Julie Czerneda, Glynn Own Barrass and the team at Albedo One for their support this year.

Australian Rugby
ARU approves third tier 'in principle'
ESPN Staff
October 23, 2013
Greg Growden offers common-sense solutions to save Australian rugby © ESPNscrum with Getty Images
The Australian Rugby Union (ARU) is believed to have agreed in principle to the establishment of a "Super B competition" and a national club competition, pending funding, The Australian reports.
ARU chief executive Bill Pulver proposed at the union board meeting on Tuesday a Super B competition from February to March, with games being played as Super Rugby curtain-raisers, and a national club competition played in September and October. Pulver has previously suggested that leading Brisbane and Sydney clubs - or the amalgamation of clubs - would be invited to take part in the proposed club competition alongside teams from Canberra, Melbourne and Perth. Some Sydney Shute Shield clubs are known to oppose the idea of a national competition, however.
ARU officials have identified the need for a "third tier" of competition to bridge the gap between club and Super Rugby, but they have never found an affordable model. The union now is seeking funding from broadcast and sponsorship partners to make the proposal a reality.
Pulver told ESPNscrum correspondent Greg Growden in an exclusive interview in May that the Super B concept was part of a strategy designed to develop "kids currently sitting in rugby academies in Brisbane and Sydney doing a lot of coaching and training, and actually putting them in a real-life developmental competition".
"The main objective is to accelerate elite development so we win more games at a Super Rugby level," Pulver told ESPNscrum, noting that Super Rugby coaches and chief executives all want greater depth of playing talent. "The secondary objective is to capture the hearts and minds of our rugby fans again with some exciting innovations, as well as filling the stadia again. The third objective is to find a component of the game, which can be packaged up for television."
Pulver told ESPNscrum the concept would allow Australia's Super Rugby franchises each to expand their playing roster to "45 or 50" players, as has been requested by team coaches and management.
Greg Growden's Manifesto to Save Australian Rugby: forget about all these airy-fairy third-tier competition ideas, we've got a much better idea … Thursday, October 24.

Friday the 13th: The Game
Developer: IllFonic
Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows
Once again, guest reviewer Neil Sheppard joins us!
You know those drunken video game discussions you have down the pub? The ones where you and your friends design the ultimate game in your heads and bemoan the fact that real video game designers could never compare to your genius?
Well, an indie publisher has Kickstarter-funded one of those dream game ideas into a reality: an online multiplayer where one person plays Jason Voorhees and the rest play a bunch of terrified camp counsellors. Somewhere along the way, Sean S Cunningham, director of the original movie, and the great Tom Savini himself heard the hype and arranged for the game to be an official part of the franchise. Hooray for armchair game design!
If you're lucky enough to have seven friends with similar proclivities to you, you can arrange a private match, if not, you'll be teamed up with strangers, and randomly assigned the role of Jason or a helpless victim. As Jason, you can detect roughly where the other players are, teleport to spots on the map or zip forward in first-person, Evil Dead-style. If you get close enough to the campers, you can grab them and perform your choice of gory kills, such as decapitations or Bane-style backbreakers. To be frank, the counsellors' chances are slim and, if the Jason for the match catches sight of you, you're probably gonna buy it.
Thankfully, the play area is littered with items you can use to stun Jason temporarily or repair cars, boats or phone lines to aid an escape. You can even resurrect a deceased player as a shotgun-toting Corey Feldman. Allegedly, this is part of a complex series of steps to actually kill Jason, but they're so elaborate, you'll almost certainly need Jason and all the other players' co-operation to do it.
Not that you'll know any of this starting the game, as there's no tutorial; all you get are basic text instructions. Since your chances of success are ridiculously slim, however, there's no need to take the game too seriously, which is probably for the best, as this is still very much a fan project and it shows. The game is buggy as hell and the controls don't always do exactly what you ask them to.
Still, it's all part of the fun seeing your character occasionally bug out, continuing to swim after returning to dry land or getting stuck on an invisible ledge out of Jason's reach. Likewise, if you're a good sport, trying to jump out a window to escape Jason's clutches and, instead, accidentally getting trapped opening a drawer and dying horribly, is hilarious (once you've stopped swearing).
Alas, however, the game has a much bigger problem: the players. The kind of gamers who are drawn to the idea of playing as Jason are not the sort of people who will go easy on newcomers. In the few weeks I've been playing the game, I've seen players collaborating with Jason to attack their fellow campers and a Jason repeatedly knock a player out of her boat, not killing her or letting her escape, over and over again until the time ran out.
In the first match I ever played, I was thrown in at the deep end as Jason. I struggled to figure out how to use the powers and couldn't even find the control to grab the other players, meaning I failed to kill anyone. I also didn't know how to mute the in-game chat, leading the other players to chant "Jason sucks" while dancing around me. I would describe the experience as 'mildly traumatic'.
Still, despite my PTSD, I find myself wanting to recommend the game. It's so intense, you'll need a stiff cuppa after every match and you could talk about strategies and gameplay mechanics for hours. There's so much potential here, particularly for the price (£31 right now), that it's an awful shame you'll occasionally struggle to find a match as there aren't enough players online.
If more people buy the game, then the developers will be able to fix the server issues and bugs, and there will be other people to play with than chav trolls. You won't be buying the game so much as investing in it.
Just… please add me when you do…

The Circle of Horses
Our program has three PATH Int'l certified riding instructors to work with our participants. Each instructor brings a different set of skills that enhances our lessons.
The uniqueness in this program is the use of horses. The horses give our participants a sense of self confidence when they lead a horse around the arena or when they sit up tall astride these magnificent animals. Not all horses qualify to be part of the program. The horse must be able to realize the rider's or walker's emotional and physical state. The horse needs to be calm and patient when the participant is learning the art of grooming or walking them around the arena.
Horses are "in the moment" and have the extraordinary ability to use their innate intuition and empathetic behavior to mirror whatever might be projected by the people around them. This has been hugely helpful from an instructional standpoint for nonverbal children or at risk youth who have had very poor communication and trust issues with people. Many of those individuals use nonverbal ways of protecting themselves from others around them.

Sunrise & Sunset with Twilight
We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
Toowoomba experiences some seasonal variation in the perceived humidity.
The muggier period of the year lasts for 3.7 months, from November 26 to March 18, during which time the comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable at least 6% of the time. The muggiest day of the year is February 6, with muggy conditions 24% of the time.
The least muggy day of the year is July 18, when muggy conditions are essentially unheard of.
Humidity Comfort Levels

Best Time of Year to Visit
To characterize how pleasant the weather is in Toowoomba throughout the year, we compute two travel scores.
The tourism score favors clear, rainless days with perceived temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Based on this score, the best time of year to visit Toowoomba for general outdoor tourist activities is from late November to late March, with a peak score in the last week of January.
Tourism Score
The beach/pool score favors clear, rainless days with perceived temperatures between 75°F and 90°F. Based on this score, the best time of year to visit Toowoomba for hot-weather activities is from early January to mid February, with a peak score in the third week of January.
Beach/Pool Score
For each hour between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM of each day in the analysis period (1980 to 2016), independent scores are computed for perceived temperature, cloud cover, and total precipitation. Those scores are combined into a single hourly composite score, which is then aggregated into days, averaged over all the years in the analysis period, and smoothed.
Our cloud cover score is 10 for fully clear skies, falling linearly to 9 for mostly clear skies, and to 1 for fully overcast skies.
Our precipitation score, which is based on the three-hour precipitation centered on the hour in question, is 10 for no precipitation, falling linearly to 9 for trace precipitation, and to 0 for 0.04 inches of precipitation or more.
Our tourism temperature score is 0 for perceived temperatures below 50°F, rising linearly to 9 for 65°F, to 10 for 75°F, falling linearly to 9 for 80°F, and to 1 for 90°F or hotter.
Our beach/pool temperature score is 0 for perceived temperatures below 65°F, rising linearly to 9 for 75°F, to 10 for 82°F, falling linearly to 9 for 90°F, and to 1 for 100°F or hotter.
Growing Season
Definitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere).
The growing season in Toowoomba typically lasts for 8.8 months (268 days), from around September 3 to around May 28, rarely starting before August 4 or after September 28, and rarely ending before April 30 or after June 27.
Time Spent in Various Temperature Bands and the Growing Season
frigid 15°F freezing 32°F very cold 45°F cold 55°F cool 65°F comfortable 75°F warm 85°F hot 95°F sweltering
Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. In this report, we use a base of 50°F and a cap of 86°F.
Based on growing degree days alone, the first spring blooms in Toowoomba should appear around July 29, only rarely appearing before July 24 or after August 4.
Growing Degree Days
Solar Energy
This section discusses the total daily incident shortwave solar energy reaching the surface of the ground over a wide area, taking full account of seasonal variations in the length of the day, the elevation of the Sun above the horizon, and absorption by clouds and other atmospheric constituents. Shortwave radiation includes visible light and ultraviolet radiation.
The average daily incident shortwave solar energy experiences significant seasonal variation over the course of the year.
The brighter period of the year lasts for 4.2 months, from October 15 to February 21, with an average daily incident shortwave energy per square meter above 6.8 kWh. The brightest day of the year is January 1, with an average of 7.7 kWh.
The darker period of the year lasts for 2.9 months, from May 5 to August 1, with an average daily incident shortwave energy per square meter below 4.3 kWh. The darkest day of the year is June 15, with an average of 3.4 kWh.

For the purposes of this report, the geographical coordinates of Toowoomba are -27.561 deg latitude, 151.954 deg longitude, and 2,064 ft elevation.
The topography within 2 miles of Toowoomba contains significant variations in elevation, with a maximum elevation change of 771 feet and an average elevation above sea level of 2,063 feet. Within 10 miles contains significant variations in elevation (1,965 feet). Within 50 miles contains very significant variations in elevation (4,186 feet).
The area within 2 miles of Toowoomba is covered by artificial surfaces (58%), trees (26%), and sparse vegetation (15%), within 10 miles by sparse vegetation (41%) and trees (32%), and within 50 miles by sparse vegetation (43%) and cropland (28%).
Data Sources
This report illustrates the typical weather in Toowoomba, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016.
Temperature and Dew Point
There are 2 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Toowoomba.
For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Toowoomba according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.
The estimated value at Toowoomba is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Toowoomba and a given station.
The stations contributing to this reconstruction are: Oakey Aerodrome (82%, 27 kilometers, northwest) and RAAF Base Amberley (18%, 75 kilometers, east).

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.
We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

KIRKUK, Iraq
The Turkmen community in northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk feel unsafe as reports emerge that members of the PKK terrorist organization were now freely roaming the streets, an Iraqi Turkmen politician told Anadolu Agency.
The Kirkuk province along with parts of the provinces of Nineveh, Saladin (northern Iraq) and Diyala (eastern Iraq) are disputed between Baghdad and the Kurdish Regional Government (
Iraqi Turkmen Front head Ershad Salihi said: "Members of the terrorist organization PKK have started going around the streets [of Kirkuk]. That leaves the Turkmen, who already lack security of their lives, even more worried.
Ankara offers cooperation to Baghdad to end PKK in Iraq
Salihi urged the central Iraqi government to ensure that the PKK terror group gets ousted from Kirkuk.
"The greatest risk for Kirkuk is the PKK. They harm the social peace of the city with their actions. We want the U.S. forces in Baghdad and Kirkuk to intervene."
Baghdad-based National Security Council on Sunday accused the KRG of crossing a line by putting PKK terrorists in Kirkuk, calling the move "a declaration of war".
Earlier Monday, the Iraqi army launched an operation to capture military bases and oil fields in Kirkuk.
The move comes after the Sept. 25 illegitimate referendum in northern Iraq that faced strong opposition from most regional and international actors -- including the U.S., Turkey, and Iran -- who warned that the poll would distract from Iraq's fight against terrorism and further destabilize the region.

Interesting findings for this year's Billionaires list.
1.) Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are back on top!
2.) Mark Zuckerberg becomes one of the top 20 billionaires for the first time
3.) Michael Jordan made it to the new billionaires list!!
and many more…
Check out this post by Kerry A. Dolan and Luisa Kroll on http://www.forbes.com/sites/kerryadolan/2015/03/02/inside-the-2015-forbes-billionaires-list-facts-and-figures/
Despite plunging oil prices and a weakened euro, the ranks of the world's wealthiest defied global economic turmoil and expanded yet again. For our 29th annual guide to the globe's richest, we found a record 1,826 billionaires with an aggregate net worth of $7.05 trillion, up from $6.4 trillion a year ago. The total includes 290 newcomers, 71 of whom hail from China. Youth are on the rise: A record 46 among the ranks are under age 40. One earthward note: The average net worth of list members came in at $3.86 billion, down $60 million from 2014.
Bill Gates is once again the richest person on the planet, a title he's held for 16 of the past 21 years. His fortune grew $3.2 billion since last year to $79.2 billion, despite a gift of $1.5 billion in Microsoft MSFT +1.12% shares to The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in November 2014. Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico comes in again at No. 2 while revered American investor Warren Buffett took back the No. 3 spot from Spain's Amancio Ortega (now No. 4); not even the largest IPO in history was enough to beat the Oracle of Omaha this year. Buffett was the list's biggest gainer, up $14.5 billion to $72.7 billion, thanks to Berkshire Hathaway's rising share price. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg moves up 5 spots to number 16, his first time ranked among the world's 20 richest. Ma and three other Chinese are among the the biggest gainers and appear among the 50 richest on the list.
Zuckerberg is also the leader in a youth revolution that has minted 46 billionaires under the age of 40. The youngest billionaire on the planet is Evan Spiegel, 24, co-founder of photo- messaging app Snapchat. California, driven by Silicon Valley tech companies, has spawned 23 new billionaires, including cofounders of car-hailing service Uber cofounders Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp, and their first employee Ryan Graves. Elizabeth Holmes, who runs blood-testing firm Theranos, debuts on the global list as the youngest self-made woman at age 31. The state now has 131 individuals with 10-figure net worths, more than any other country besides China and the U.S.
The year's biggest loser in dollar terms is Aliko Dangote of Nigeria, whose fortune dropped to $14.7 billion from $25 billion last year, propelled downward by a weaker Nigerian currency and shrinking demand for cement, his largest asset. He still retains the title of Africa's richest man. The country that was lost the most ground by far was Russia, which now has 88 billionaires down from 111, less than not just the U.S. and China but now also Germany and India.
One hundred thirty-eight people from the 2014 list dropped out of the ranks altogether including fashion designer Michael Kors, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Zulily's Mark Vadon and many Russians. Guatemala has a billionaire for the first time, and Iceland returns to the ranks after a five-year absence, the result of a comeback by Thor Bjorgolfsson, who's now the only billionaire in Iceland's history.
There's no doubt that entrepreneurship is thriving globally. Fully 1,191 members of the list are self-made billionaires, while just 230 inherited their wealth. Another 405 inherited at least a portion but are still working to increase their fortunes.
Our estimates show a snapshot of wealth on Feb. 13, when we locked in stock prices and exchange rates from around the world. If a stock market wasn't open on that day, we used the stock price from the previous trading day.

Here's one half of the polishes:
And here's the other half:
Let's take a closer look at them, shall we.
First three up are Dance Legends. Lots of glitter, yay!
|Dance Legend: 917, Aztec 8 and 920
Two more Dance Legends. I love the brand so I was happy to see five of them in this swap! These two are colour shifters - the left one is textured, and the right one is a flakie!
|Dance Legend: Sahara Crystal 15, and 529
Then there's a couple of brands I also recognize, Pupa and Jeanmishel. Pretty shimmers both of them:
|Pupa 726 and JeanMishel (name is in Russian :) )
Here's a pretty couple too, Eva and Bell. Eva is pink hologlitter and Bell is a blue/purple glittertopper:
|Eva 085 and Bell Glam Night sparkle 03
Then there's a brand I've been wanting to try for a while: El Corazón. This is a pretty pink with black "dots" that look like tiny poppy seeds. And Seventeen - a beautiful duochrome called 539
|El Corazón Dotty Girl and Seventeen 539
Divage is a brand I've received from Anastasia before. They're so pretty, so I welcome another member of that family. It's a blue/red/purple/golden duochrome. Aurelia is new to me, but wow! She's absolutely gorgeous. I love the colour shift in her!
|Divage Special effects 4908 and Aurelia 405
Holo and glitter is always welcome. Dona Mirella is a silver holographic glitter. I can't see the name of the Max Factor, but it's black with silver shimmer.
|Dona Mirelle 010 (I think) and Max Factor unnamed
The last polish of them all is very special to me already. It's a multicoloured glitter leaning green. And the best of it is that it's a frankenglitter made especially for me. I'm thrilled! ♥
|Handcream, nail wraps and maybe lipbalm
Anastasia also sent me a necklace with a cute pendant.
There was also candy, but I didn't get to photograph that, sorry!
That's my great Russian swap. Thank you so much, Anastasia for making this a great one! ♥

Latoya Nugent, M.Sc., PGDip., B.A. | Human Rights and Development Practitioner | Digital Media Strategist
Latoya Nugent is an ideator, programme development specialist, digital media strategist, youth engagement strategist and human rights activist. She has dedicated her life to engaging women and young people in conversations about their fundamental human rights. She has expanded the rights conversation to include important and critical issues such as women's financial literacy, economic independence and social justice.
Latoya's work as an ideator and programme development specialist has led her to reach across the political and socio-economic divide to engage power brokers and the disenfranchised, towards solutions and strategies that are sustainable and relevant for national development and personal growth. In this respect, her work within the women's movement and with youth at the margins bear testimony to that commitment to brokering partnerships and bridging divides.
Her work has led her to be described as a creative problem-solver. Her tool-box of engagement strategies are grounded in the Freirean philosophy of transformational talk. She locates her work in the tradition of Caribbean revolutionaries such as Walter Rodney and Andaiye, and in her own complex way positions feminist capitalist ideology as a vehicle for social justice. She displays a willingness to speak truth to power and to be unapologetic in her insistence that justice, fairness and equality must be the core principles upon which human rights are guaranteed. Latoya believes in the value of intergenerational dialogue and her work with WE-Change is grounded in the value of women validating women across generational divides.
Latoya strategically uses and masters technology and social media as tools to amplify the voices of the most vulnerable and marginalized, and has been shifting the power imbalance to ensure that those whose voices have been stifled and silenced, now speak with certainty and conviction in the social media space. She is truly a global citizen who understands the complex nature of national identity politics and its inherent inadequacies in securing justice for all citizens.
She is a sought-after presenter, facilitator and speaker on a wide range of penetrating and critical issues. She is sincere and convincing, and has certainly mastered the art of communication through use of appropriate language and messaging technique.
Latoya is authentic and unapologetic. She uses every opportunity to proudly declare her sexual identity and she has made it clear that she intends to access all the rights and privileges of citizenship as a black Jamaican feminist lesbian.


text: Hey again guys! I'm about to move into another tank (55g) and thought I'd try something a little different then what I have now. I was wondering, would a decent size pleco (4-6inches im guessing) eat fish smaller than itself or are they fine with pretty much anything? I've seen a lot of really big ones, 10"+, in tanks with reasonably large fish but none with the smaller types. Wondering about blue gourami's, rainbow shark, small clown loaches and maybe some bristlenose plecos. I've always wanted one as they look so cool
