Reporting fraud
The Comcare Scheme provides rehabilitation and workers' compensation for Australian Government employees and for employees of organisations who self-insure under the scheme. Comcare is responsible for making determinations regarding compensation under the scheme for Australian Government employees.

A lot of nutrients and minerals are important for the body to function properly. Every single nutrient or mineral we know should be included in our diets in some manner. One of the important minerals our body needs is Zinc. Zinc is often overlooked when we seek different kinds of minerals in a particular food. Although overlooked, zinc is extremely important for the body to perform various functions including synthesizing proteins and DNA. It is also required to help your body heal and also aids the production of various hormones, specially testosterone. Zinc can help your body fight infections and is a mineral that can affect our perceptions of taste.
Since the body cannot store zinc, you need to regularly intake this mineral for your body. Vegetarians might need to consume more amounts since the body absorbs less zinc from plant based products when compared to meat based food products. In this article, we are going to mention few foods that you could consume on a regular basis in order to provide your body with sufficient amounts of Zinc.
1. Oysters:
Oysters are rich sources of zinc and are delicious. This sea food is not only rich in zinc but it also contains good amounts of proteins and omega-3 fatty acids. There are many ways you could consume them and are a favorite dish of many. Although nutritious and tasty, be careful while you eat them because oysters are a common cause of food poisoning.
2. Dark Chocolate:
If you love chocolate, you are going to love this news. Dark chocolate, in addition to having many other benefits, is also a good source of Zinc. One hundred grams of unsweetened dark chocolate has up to 9.6mg of zinc. You could have plain dark chocolate or you could add it to your desserts.
3. Pumpkin Seeds:
There are very few dishes that have good amounts of zinc in them. For all the vegans out there, pumpkin seeds are an easy and effective source of zinc. These seeds not only contain good amounts of zinc but are also known to prevent prostate cancer. They can also boost the immune system. While consuming them, make sure to eat them raw as roasting the seeds could reduce the amounts of zinc.
4. Beef:
Beef and many other kinds of meat are good sources of zinc. There are also many dishes you could make using meat. Beef, pork, lamb, chicken and turkey are all good sources of zinc. Avoid frying them and eat them boiled instead in order to reap more benefits. Although meat is a good source of zinc, they are also high in fats and cholesterol. Make sure to keep these facts in mind before including them in your diet.
5. Sesame Seeds:
Sesame seeds are rich in a number of minerals, including zinc. A 100 gram serving of these seeds can provide you with about 10mg of zinc. These seeds give good amounts of zinc to the body, but try having them raw instead of roasting them in any way. Proving heat to these seeds might result in them losing few amounts of zinc.
6. Cashews:
Cashews are a good source of zinc and also contain many other nutrients. Nuts, generally, are known to contain good amounts of zinc. 100 grams serving of cashews can contain about 5.6 mg of zinc. You could add these in a lot of dishes. They also add a lot of taste and flavor to otherwise bland tasting foods. They contain cholesterol and hence, make sure you plan your diet accordingly.
7. Fortified Breakfast Cereals:
Many breakfast cereals now come with a good amounts of different minerals including zinc. Make sure you go for a brand that doesn't add too many calories or sugar in your cereals and stick to the healthiest options. Also, look for cereals with high contents of Iron and Vitamin D. This could add Zinc to your diet on a daily basis without adding too many calories.
8. Chickpeas:
Chickpeas are abundant in a lot of minerals and other nutrients including zinc. It also contains resistant starch, along with proteins and fiber. Chickpeas are also a good source of healthy fats and do a good job at reducing cholesterol and regulate the blood sugar levels. There are many Mediterranean recipes you could make with chickpeas and get a dose of zinc in your diet.
9. Swiss Cheese:
Swiss cheese is one of the tastiest and easiest ways of getting enough zinc in your diet. Among all the different kinds of cheese, Swiss cheese contains the least amounts of sodium making it pretty safe for regular consumption. It is also low in calories, unlike other dairy products and are also high in proteins and calcium. You could just add this cheese in different dishes to make them tastier and it also adds good amounts of zinc in your diet.

In the absence of reliable phone service, facilities cannot be called ahead of time to arrange transfer, and patients must be driven from site to site, often lying in the bed of a pickup truck exposed to sun and rain, in hopes of being accepted somewhere. Due to poor roads and chaotic traffic, this process can often take 4-5 hours.

China's e-commerce explosion
China now has 564 million internet users according to CNNIC, China's official web registry regulator. 420 million are surfing the web via mobile devices. A staggering number considering that the total number of internet users in the whole of EU was 368 million in June 2012.
242 million are active e-commerce shoppers. The infographics illustrate the explosive growth seen during the last years (source: e-commercefacts.com)
A large part of e-commerce sales are fashion related. And despite the explosive domestic growth in China, several of the larger e-commerce players are extending the battleground to the rest of the globe.
"The English-language website (en.360buy.com) of Jingdong Mall, China's largest B2C e-commerce company, went online in October 2012. Supporting delivery to 35 countries, it offers nearly 400,000 products to overseas customers in North America, Western Europe and Australia."(source: e-commercefacts.com)
For the rest of the world, these are exciting times of even closer collaboration, stretching even further around the globe than ever before.
At StyleShoots we are proud to be part of China's e-commerce growth. Our partner Catwalk88 has just opened the doors to a gorgeous showroom in the Shenzhen. Long known as the tech capital of China, it is quickly emerging as the main economic growth motor of China.
"It has so much money they've even built a new Eiffel Tower in a theme park called Window of the World." (source: theregister.co.uk)
If you happen to be in Shenzhen, or are having an e-commerce site of your own, you should pay Catwalk88 a visit.

"Go west" was not only a Village People song, but used to also be the mantra for European companies who wanted to make it big. Maybe the mantra should be "Go east" instead?

Sexy and Stylish Retro Style Bras That Lift and Add Extra Volume to Your Bust
The balconette bra is a retro cut bra, sometimes known as a shelf bra. Its a sweet little bra with pin up attitude with wide set straps and low cups to reveal more chest, shoulder and cleavage. These days they usually come with a bit of padding to boost your girls and give you a modern-retro look under your T shirts and sweaters, but a more natural look than a push up bra will give. The balconette bras will also hide better under most necklines than a traditional push up, supporting well but hiding the straps when you wear your favourite Rockabilly dress.
Later, well show you how to properly fit yourself for US or UK sizing (yes, theres a difference. Prepare to have your mind blown!) but first lets look at the best balconette bras available for you!
Best Balconette Bras
|Our Rating
|Rosme Womens Balconette Bra Collection "Grand"
|Rosme Womens Balconette Bra with Detachable Straps Collection "Anette"
|Curvy Kate Women's Smoothie T-Shirt Bra
|Cleo Women's Juna Balconnet Bra
|Panache Women's Tango Underwired Balconnet Bra
|Cleo Women's Maddie Molded Balconnet T-Shirt Bra
|Prima Donna Divine Lace Bra
|Betsey Johnson Women's Starlet Lace Balconette Bra
|Rosme Womens Balconette Bra Collection "Annija"
Rosme Women's "Grand" Balconette Bra
So, see what we mean about the wider straps? Theyll hide under just about anything, and the low cups give you extra options with your necklines. The Rosme Balconette Grand Bra collection is a simple but sweet bra option. Its well made, with an underwire for firm support, and the thicker straps mean more comfort for you when holding everything in place! The lacy top makes this one of those bras that are cute enough to dress up, but simple enough to wear under everything. The lacy detail on the top, and the scoop from straps to cup suggest Im so fancy, while providing you with the comfort you need for all day wear. We love that this bra comes in white, black and beige, so you can have a couple to rotate through, but also that it is available online in a bazillion different sizes.
Rosme Womens Balconette Bra with Detachable Straps Collection "Anette"
Heres another one by Rosme named Anette, and as the title suggests the bonus with this balconette bra is is that it has detachable straps. Theres a flowery lace pattern on the front of this one, with just a bit of the lace peeking over the shelf. The lace however doesnt extend around the back, so no worries over itch! The straps are thin traditional style, and adjustable, if you DO decide to wear the bra with them. But they slip off easily to wear with strapless dresses, off the shoulder blouses or even t-shirts with a bit of attitude. The cups are slightly padded, so go ahead and wear this one under your everyday T-shirts.
Looking for that push up, without the push up bra? Take a look at our reviews of the best natural breast enhancement treatments.
Rosme offers the Anette in five different color choices, so you can even match your bra to your party dress! A brown or blue balconette bra is a nice break from the everyday beige or white. Rosme again offers this bra in sizes from 32D all the way up 4D. (Its nice they have a 32, 34 and 36 DDD option on this one.)
Curvy Kate Women's Smoothie Balconette Bra
Curvy Kate has a fantastic reputation for making cute bras that do the job. The Smoothie Balconette Bra is offered by this brand. Although some think this balconette has more plunge in the cleavage, the Smoothie offers up just the right amount. The smooth material on the cups are amazing under blouses and snug t-shirts, there are no seams to show! But, remember, this isnt a traditional full-coverage T-shirt bra, so the balconette is going to show the world some bounce, without revealing the details (wink-wink!). With names like Wild Black, Wild Blush, and Wild Violet, in a subtle two tone leopard print, you know Curvy Kate is catering to ladies with sass. This bra specifically states hand wash only. You like your bras to last, so we recommend hand washing all your bras anyway. Curvy Kate offers a mind blowing range of sizes, too, ladies, which makes it easier to get exactly what you want in the exact right size.
Cleo Women's Juna Balconnet Bra
The Cleo Juna balconnette bra is a very good every day, I dont want to think too hard about this bra. Throw it on, and it does its job of making you look casually fabulous for the entire day. The cups are lightly padded, so they arent adding anything that isnt there already. This is an underwire cup, and the cup is a 2-part cup, so the Juna bra has excellent support. It comes in Black and Nude, which is pretty straight forward. What makes this bra hit the top 9, is the range of sizes. Cleos Juna bra is available in 28D, all the way to 28H (It can be a real challenge for ladies with small ribcages and large breasts to get a good fit!) It also offers sizes up to 38H. Although its a straightforward bra, and can be considered casual, this bra is a no-brainer for us. Adding several bras to your wardrobe makes them last longer, and when you find a fit like this, It makes sense to buy several.
Panache Women's Tango II Balconette Bra
Helloooo, Panache! The Womens Tango 2 Balconette Bra is manufactured for those of us who have more to stuff in and hold up. Women with larger breasts have to have a bra that is going to work hard and play hard, while keeping everything just where its supposed to be, comfortably. So, although a balconette bra generally has a cup that cuts straight across the front, the Tango 2 has a little extra cup to hold everything in place, while staying true to the balconette style, although Panache does accommodate smaller torso sizes with this one (from a 28 inch) This one makes a comfortable fit for up to a 44FF. So sturdy. Seriously. As much as its difficult to find small sizes, it can be so much more difficult to get a good fit in plus sizes. Ladies, there are seven different colour choices with this one. Yes, SEVEN! Thats one for every day of the week. They add extra clips for support in sizes GG and larger, too. Theres embroidery on the front, and the added bonus is they sell coordinating brief or thong with the matching color and embroidery. Theyve been manufacturing this bra for ten years. Why dont you have one yet???
Cleo By Panache Women's Maddie Molded Balconnet T-Shirt Bra
Another one by Cleo. The Maddie style bra is similar to the Juna in that its a balconnette, but this one is manufactured specifically to be a T-shirt bra. No centre seams in the cups of this one! The smooth fabric does have a stripe in it, but that wont show through your T. With this bra, Cleo also caters to a wide array of sizes, so if the Juno seemed a little plain-jane for you, the Maddie could be what you are looking for. The bonus of the Maddie style, is that its available in Red (and of course nude and black.) A bra with a cut like this, in the color red, is ready for all sorts of adventure! The Maddie offers a little more cup in its balconette, but still leaves the chest open with wide straps, to fit under any type of collar or neckline
Prima Donna Divine Lace Bra
Ok. So, you knew I was going to throw in something a little cheeky in here, right? I mean, come on, the balconette is a flattering cut, no matter what your size, you wanna show it off a little. Here is the Prima Donna Divine Lace Bra, a seamless lace bra with an array of royal colors.Its got just enough peek-a-boo lace to be a tease, and the lace in general is just so playful. The cups are foam padded, and the lace travels up the straps for some extra super sweet teasing. Still a well made bra, but ladies, this bra is either a designated date night piece, or for you have to hide under your blouse as your I feel sassy today secret. This one is offered in US sizing, which doesnt offer as much.
Betsey Johnson Women's Starlet Lace Balconette Bra
If you are going for that all-out pin up look, Betsey Johnson delivers! The Starlet Lace Balconette is going to complete that sassy look, and make your swing dresses or your 50s style sweaters look just right! The Starlet Lace makes me want to clip your bangs like Bettie Page, and strike a pose. The cups are lightly lined, but not padded, so its all up to you to fill em! The Starlet Lace has more of a sweetheart neckline, which is true to the retro look. The lace is soft, and the straps adjustable. And ladies, TEN COLOUR CHOICES. Whaaat? With names like Emerald City and Blue Radiance, the Womens Starlet Lace is going to match your every playful mood with a perfect fit.
Rosme Womens Annija Balconette Bra
Yes, one more for Rosme. They make the list again, because of their broad range of size offerings, and their true-to-form balconette style. The Annija bra sounds to like I need ya! and this is how youll feel when you strap this bra on. If youve measured correctly, you wont spill out of this bra, and its going to put your back at ease if you have a larger chest. By the way, the Annija is perfect for women who have more to carry up front. Its comfortable for all day wear, well made cups, underwire and generous straps to support you from day to night. As will all the Rosme bras, youre looking at UK sizing (which really is more true-to-size, youll discover.) So be sure to measure yourself before buying!
Balconette Bras Buying Guide
Most women are wearing the wrong bra size, and dont even know it. Those who might know it, dont know where to start! We buy the same size over and over again out of habit. To help you find your correct bra size, youll need a soft measuring tape and a mirror.
- Measure your body all the way around just underneath your breasts. Make sure the measuring tape is snug and horizontal. Make sure your arms are down, and write down the number in inches. Thats your band size! If you land at an odd number, you will try bands that are one up or down. (If you are 33 inches around, you could be 32 or 34 band size.)
- To measure for the cup size, youll need to bend over so that your torso is parallel to the ground. Measure around your torso, so that the tape measure comes from around your back, circling your body to come together around all of the breast tissue. The tape measure should have the right level of tightness that will prevent it from moving easily but it should not press on the breast tissue. Take down this measurement.
- Calculate your cup size. Do this by taking your cup measurement and then subtracting the band measurement you took above from it. The difference will be your cup size. Proceed with choosing the suitable balconette bra size as follows using the cup size measurement you have taken:-
Less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) = AA
1 inch (2.5 cm) = A
2 inches (5 cm) = B
3 inches (7.5 cm) = C
4 inches (10 cm) = D
5 inches (12.5 cm) = DD
6 inches (15 cm) = DDD or E in UK size designation.
7 inches (18 cm) = DDDD or F in UK size designation.
8 inches (20.5 cm) = G/H or FF in UK size designation.
9 inches (23 cm) = I/J or G in UK size designation.
10 inches (25.5 cm) = J or GG in UK size designation
The UK cup sizing is used by most of the bra brands in the market. Shoppers in the US will see different cup size specifications but these have UK equivalents. If you are unsure about the size designation, you can read the product description or simply make inquiries so as to get the right fit.
- Dont freak out when you find out you should have been wearing a 34DD, instead of that 38B youve been in all your life. Now, call all your friends to brag about your new size, and show them how to measure themselves properly!
How do I care for my new balconette bras?
There are a few key things you can do to make your balconette bras last longer.
- Youll have noticed that most of these balconette bras stated that you should hand wash your bra only, and we stand by that. Get yourself some gentle detergent for lingerie, and a plastic tub. (one of those rectangle or square ones you might use to clean dishes in) You can put one or a few into the tub with a small amount of the lingerie detergent and cold water, as long as they are complimentary colours. Dont put your black bra in the tub with a beige or white one. The dye will almost always run! Let your balconette bras soak for about 15 minutes, taking some time to gently swish then around, making sure that the clips are attached, so they dont accidentally catch on any lace. After that soak and swish, you can rinse your bras out in cold water by letting them soak another 15 minutes, or gently running water over them for a few minutes. The best way to dry them is to lay them flat on a towel or a sweater dryer.
- Have at least 3 good balconette bras to rotate through, but preferably 6 or 7. Wearing the same bra everyday stretches the bra out faster, and you should never wear the same bra two days in a row. 3 to 7 bras will get you through a year comfortably, until its time to recheck your size (We recommend you check your sizing once a year, as our sizes change from time to time.)
- Store your balconette bras nicely! Dont leave them mangled on the floor, hanging off the door knob, or folded up. The best way to store your bra is in its own drawer, stacked open and in a row with the rest of your bras. It helps it to keep its shape, so you dont have to worry about the padding bunching up or losing shape.
Is it for EU, UK or US Size Standards?
Size is a major issue when purchasing balconette bras. We have gone out of our way to clearly illustrate how you can determine the size of your bust and choose the most suitable bras that will give you the perfect fit.

What is the difference between push-up and demi balconette bras?
Demi blaconette bras will lift your breasts and also enhance it along your bust line so as to give you a more natural look. Demi bras are quite comfortable to wear on a daily basis. A push-up balconette bra, on the other hand, has demi cups as well as padding on the sides and the bottom of the cup. The padding inside the cup will push the breast upwards and inwards and it will create a fuller look with more cleavage. Push up bras will give you that edgy and dramatic look that is best flaunted during those special occasions.

College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Women's Studies Department
The Women's Studies program is administered by the Center for Women's Studies and Gender Research. This interdisciplinary forum for graduate studies offers both a Thesis and a Non-Thesis M.A., as well as a two certificates. The Center also offers a regular colloquium series, frequently sponsors speakers, and distributes a newsletter each fall and spring.
Master of Arts (thesis and non-thesis): The Center offers the Master of Arts (M.A.) thesis degree option, which requires the completion and defense of a thesis (30 credit hours), and the Master of Arts non-thesis degree option, which requires completion and defense of a project or paper (30 credit hours). All Master's students take a core curriculum of 9 graduate credits (3 courses). For the thesis M.A., the remaining 21 hours consist of 15 credits of approved electives and 6 thesis credits. For the non-thesis M.A., 21 credits of approved electives are required.
Required courses for all MA students (9 credits):
15 approved credits at 5000-level or higher
6 credits of WST 6971: Research for Master's Thesis
(3 of which must be taken in the final graduating term)
Total for MA thesis: 30 credits
21 approved credits at 5000-level of higher;
at least 6 of these credits must be classes in WST.
Total for MA non-thesis: 30 credits
BA/ MA Program: UF offers a number of Bachelor's/Master's programs for superior students. The university created combined degree programs to provide academically talented students an opportunity to complete both a bachelor's and a master's degree in a shorter period of time. The program allows you to double-count graduate courses toward both degrees, thus reducing the time it would normally take to graduate by a semester or more. The combined-degree program reduces the cost of both degrees and enhances your marketability for career advancement.
Concurrent degree -MA in Women's Studies and an MA in Mass Communications (MAMC) with specialization in Journalism: When appropriate, the Center for Women's Studies and Gender Research will work with individual students to develop a collaborative degree program with the College of Journalism and Communication. At the University of Florida, students may apply to complete Master's degrees in two different programs or two Master's degrees in the same program concurrently. Those interested should discuss the proposed study with the office of Graduate Student Records (392-4643, 106 Grinter) before applying. Written approval is needed from each academic unit and the Graduate School Dean. The student must be officially admitted to both programs through regular procedures. No more than 9 credits from the first program may be applied toward the second.
M.A./J.D. Joint Degree: The faculties of the Levin College of Law and Women's Studies in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have approved a joint degree program culminating in both a J.D. degree, awarded by the College of Law, and an M.A. degree (thesis or non-thesis), awarded by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Under this joint degree program, a student can obtain both degrees in approximately one year less than it would take to obtain both degrees if pursued consecutively. A student must satisfy the curriculum requirements for each degree before either degree is awarded.At least 12 credits must be taken in each program. The graduate program in Women's Studies will accept 12 credits of appropriate professional courses toward the M.A. degree. The 12 credits selected from the professional curriculum must be approved by the Graduate Coordinator upon the recommendation of the student's graduate supervisory committee. Reciprocally, the law school will accept 12 credits of appropriate Women's Studies courses toward the satisfaction of the J.D. degree. Admission to the second program is required no later than the end of the third consecutive semester after beginning one degree of the joint degree program. A summer term is counted as a single semester.
Certificates (M.A. or Ph.D. level): Two graduate certificates in Women's Studies for master's and doctoral students are offered in conjunction with degree programs in other academic units. The Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies and the Graduate Certificate in Gender and Development require specific sets of course work, designed to give students a thorough grounding in the discipline. The Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies offers students a general overview of the field. The Graduate Certificate in Gender and Development allows students to focus on issues related to gender, economic development, and globalization.
Graduate courses in women's studies are also available from the following academic units or programs:

Recognition of the excellence in their work as not missing during Mr. Mosel and Mr. Mann's respective careers. Tad Mosel was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for his play from James Agee's novel All the Way Home. He was nominated for the primetime Emmy nomination in 1977 for The Adams Chronicles. His Writers Guild of America nomination in 1968 was for Up the Down Staircase. Delbert Mann won the Best Director Oscar in 1956 for Marty. He was nominated for the Golden Globe for Separate Tables and was nominated for three Primetime Emmys between 1954 to 1979. The Cannes Film Festival recognized him with two wins and three nominations and the Directors Guild of America with three wins and six nominations.
Dear Heart is also an incredible showcase for familiar faced character actors including the two Gladys Kravitzes, Alice Pearce and Sandra Gould, Ruth McDevitt, Mary Wickes, Neva Patterson, Patsy Garrett, Barbara Luddy, Maxine Stuart, Pauline Meyers and Richard Deacon, Billy Benedict, Hal Smith, Ken Lynch and Ralph Manza. It's almost distracting!
The lilting title song by Henry Mancini with lyrics by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans was nominated for the Oscar. The winner that season was the Sherman Brothers' Chim Chim Cher-ee from Mary Poppins. Andy Williams hit recording reached #2 on Billboard, Jack Jones topped at #4 and Mancini's own recording at #14. Here's Andy's popular record:

PITTSBURG — The Kansas Attorney General's office says it executed a search warrant at a southeast Kansas hospital that closed last month.
The Pittsburg Sun reports the search warrant was executed in February at Oswego Community College, about a week after the hospital and two other medical facilities in Labette County closed.
C.J. Grover, spokesman attorney general Derek Schmidt, confirmed the search warrant but declined to comment further.
On Tuesday, the Horton Community Hospital in Brown County also closed. Grover said the attorney general's office also is investigating that hospital.
The hospitals were once run by EmpowerHMS, which has had several hospitals close across the country.

The Downside of an Increasingly Realtime Web is Less Truth
One downside of an increasingly realtime web, which is described from a technology perspective by Scott Gerber in How 5G will change the way we use the web, is it seems to me to be the ease and speed with which misinformation and lies can be easily spread. Two quotes come to mind:
"There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip"
"A Lie Can Travel Halfway Around the World While the Truth Is Putting On Its Shoes"
What's the defense especially when authority figures themselves spread lies and half-truths?
Ordinarily my answer would be to go first to those I trust. That's why so many advertisers attempt to influence word-of-mouth. In the world of politics, though, the first statement out of the gate has the advantage. Even when a lie is corrected the harm has been done especially in situations where a decision or assessment has to be made based on the current state of one's knowledge or beliefs. I am always skeptical, for example, about anything I read on Twitter and try to think twice about resharing or any other action based on the information presented.
In the short term, the only solution I see is to make available more information about the information being shared, not less. Basic questions like "Who said that," "When was it said," and "What was the basis for making that statement" should be asked by everyone.
The lack of such "information lifecycle data" is one of the reasons that Twitter is increasingly problematic as a discussion forum and seems more suited to propaganda and misinformation, as I noted in This Twitter Cloud Lacks a Silver Lining.
I don't think the solution to "fake news" is censorship. I'd rather see more realtime insight into the provenance of sources as information makes its way through the lifecycle to my eyeballs. If that slows things down a bit, that may just be the price we have to pay for living in a real, not fake, world.

text: I pressed my lips together as my daughter ran down the asphalt hill to her classroom. I wanted to yell, Be Careful! You're wearing your Christmas Tights! But I stopped myself. I don't want her to live too safely. She knows the risk of falling and blowing out the hundredth pair of tights this year, but she also know that running down that hill makes her feel strong and fast. I want her to be exhilarated, to feel the wind in her hair. She learned a move last week from one of her girlfriends at school, where she snaps her fingers up high above her head and throws her hips left to right, left to right. I've even seen her do this move at a full run across the playground. I tried the New Move last night in the kitchen (the neighbors get quite a show through that window--more on that later), but my performance was found lacking. I guess I need more practice. So if you see me out on the streets, doing an injustice on that move like I'm your mom, just know I'm feeling the risk but trying to live running downhill, too.

PLANS to close more post offices could lead to the collapse of suburban shopping parades, Birmingham City Council has warned.
A resolution opposing any further post office closure and urging Ministers to abandon their rationalisation plans was passed by the full council.
Deputy council leader Paul Tilsley said 55 post offices had closed in Birmingham since 1999, and a further 10 were in danger.
Coun Tilsley (Lib Dem, Sheldon) added: "I despair at the Government attitude on this issue. The axe is cutting deeper."
He said many small shopping centres were in danger of closing down without the "bedrock" of the local post office to draw in shoppers.
Post Office bosses will work out the latest closure programme early next year, mapping the location of the remaining Birmingham post offices against a new criteria.
This will involve making sure that 95 per cent of the urban population continues to live within one mile of a post office - a rule described as completely arbitrary by Coun Tilsley.
Labour councillors said that new ways of conducting business, including the growth on telephone and internet banking, meant that many post offices were no longer well-used and some further closures would be necessary.
Nationally, four million fewer people a week were using their local post office than was the case two years ago.
Ian Ward, deputy leader of the council Labour group, insisted "some restructuring" was necessary to put the network on a firm, sustainable footing.
Post offices across the country were losing £4 million a week. The Government had "some justification" in proposing that up to 2,500 post offices out of the current total of 14,000 would need to close, he added.#
The Birmingham Mail has campaigned to keep Post Offices across the city open.

Medicine of the
"The safe exploration of one's own potential, healing trauma and (re)discovering one's essence..."
An Ayahuasca ceremony can be seen as a shamanistic initiation into altered states of consciousness. With The Sacred Voyage methodology, you will learn how to conduct healing work in the physical and emotional layers of your own body. In contrast to the so-called "tripping out" (of your body).
The Rebirth of the Soul
guided by Lars Faber
Want to participate in an Ayahuasca ceremony?
Ayahuasca ceremonies and healing weekends with The Sacred Voyage
We have been successfully working with various compositions of the healing thea Ayahuasca for more than thirteen years.
What can you expect?
Ayahuasca is one of the oldest known healing methods. The first reference to the use of the transformational thea takes us back in time more than five thousand years. The effects of the drink can be incredibly intense - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Users often experience an energetic cleansing and working through and resolving of traumatic experiences. People also often discover their own place in the world. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no incidents anywhere in the world working with Ayahuasca during its long history. Therefore, working with Ayahuasca is very safe, if done under the right circumstances (Faber, 2006).
Set and setting
The right mindset (expectation, intention, motivation, state of mind) and setting (circumstances in which Ayahuasca is drunk, guidance, ritual, music, and so on) largely determine the outcome of your experience. The Sacred Voyage provides a safe setting for your journey inwards. You can read extensively about set and setting in the free-to-download book, The Sacred Voyage. We ask you to read this book in preparation of a weekend and/or ceremony with us.
Research effects Ayahuasca
As the result of an (unpublished) study in our practice in 2008, we know that 75 percent of people drinking Ayahuasca in the setting of The Sacred Voyage consider it transformational. On top of this, the majority of people report positive and lasting effects. In this study, the role of the preparation was considered highly important by the participants, as well as the role of the guidance provided by The Sacred Voyage (8.9) and music (9.0).
For whom?
An Ayahuasca ceremony is particularly effective for people who have already undergone a degree of personal development of their lives. People who are prepared to come face to face with both their light and shadow sides. Experience with, among other things, bodywork, meditation, mindfulness, focusing and other techniques in which attention is directed towards the inner processes for a long period is almost a condition to truly benefit from the Ayahuasca experience. In our practice's approach and methodology, we additionally emphasise being able to focus on physical sensations, combined with shamanistic techniques. Additionally, it is desirable for you to "carry" your own process, and to be friendly and respect towards your own feelings and those of others.
An open mind, the capacity to keep your attention on your inner world for a prolonged period, a loving attitude towards yourself and others, and the need for a deep experience with the potential to transform are a few of the characteristics that people participating in our sessions share.
Guidance during your Sacred Voyage
We work with a team of experienced guides who have earned their stripes in therapeutic settings and are able to offer loving support.
Our care for you doesn't end after a weekend or retreat. We remain available for you if you have questions concerning aspects that have opened up after a weekend or retreat. And if you want to explore matters more deeply or are confronted with areas that you feel unable to deal with, we also offer individual coaching sessions. For this, we have two coaches from our team - Joannie van Rijswijk and Nienke Kanngiesser - available who can guide you in this.
More about Ayahuasca
Prepare for the ceremony with the free e-book, The Sacred Voyage
The book, The Sacred Voyage, is about rediscovering your own essence, but also how to deal with entheogenic substances in an inspired and beneficial manner. You can download The Sacred Voyage book for free.
Ken Wilber about Ayahuasca
About Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca has been traditionally used for healing and divination in shamanistic traditions. Shamans explain that Ayahuasca has the potential to help you (re)discover your essence; a process which is transformational for both your body and your mind. Over the years, we have been able to guide thousands of people in this special search for their essence, which many believe goes much further than the more common forms of therapy in the West.
For our healing weekends and retreats, we use a combination of Syrian Rue (Peganum Harmala) and Mimosa Hostilis. This variant of Ayahuasca is also called Jurema or Anahuasca. Over the years, in working with thousands of participants, we have experienced and discovered that this composition generates the best results for our work and participants within the setting of The Sacred Voyage. Within our shamanistic setting (Shamanic Warrior) and during the Magical Self Three-Day Retreat, we use Banesteriopsis Caapi and Mimosa, Caapi and Chachruna or Caapi and Chaliponga.
Contraindications for the use of Ayahuasca
The use of Ayahuasca cannot be combined with various forms of medication. Medicines such as antidepressants, beta blockers and blood-pressure reducers are contraindications, because Ayahuasca contains a MAO inhibitor that does not combine with these medicines. When in doubt, we always ask you to consult your attending physician. Psychiatric indications, such as borderline, schizophrenia and (a disposition towards) psychosis are also contraindications. People being treated (not of their own initiative) by a psychologist or psychiatrist must first discuss their desire to participate in an Ayahuasca ceremony with their attending psychologist or psychiatrist and provide a written statement of advice prior to participating in a ceremony.
Medical indications, such as heart disease and high blood pressure, are contraindications for the use of Ayahuasca.
Pregnancy and lactation are also contraindications for the use of Ayahuasca.

TEAMSTERS UNION ENDORSES COLONEL DOUG APPLEGATE (ret) FOR CONGRESS/
"The Teamsters and Marine Colonel Doug Applegate sound the alarm to wealth disparity and attacks on middle class working families," said Teamsters Union Local 952 Secretary Treasurer Patrick D. Kelly.
Orange, CA – Today, Teamsters endorse Doug Applegate for Congress at a joint press conference at the Local 952 Union Hall in Orange. Local 952 is one of hundreds of Teamster locals across America. The Teamsters are one of the largest and most diverse unions in America with over 1.4 million members who work in various trades and industries.
Patrick D. Kelly, the Teamsters Union Local 952 Secretary Treasurer, said, "Colonel Applegate will be a transformational Congress person who will fight to protect mortgage interest deductions and California state and local tax deductions instead of giving America more tent cities like we have right here on the Santa Ana river bank."
"Washington needs leaders who will represent all men and women; stand up against income disparity; and deliver affordable housing, healthcare, higher education, apprenticeships and jobs," said Doug Applegate.
Doug Applegate will again challenge controversial incumbent Rep. Darrell Issa to represent the 49th District in the June 2018 primary. The Colonel in his first political contest fought to overcome the narrowest vote gap (1,621) in the 2016 Congressional election cycle. His race was the very last one finally called on December 8th, 2016.
Momentum for the Applegate campaign continues to grow. Some notable endorsements include California State Senator Toni Atkins, VoteVets, National Nurses United, former Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, Assemblymember Tom Daly, CA State American Postal Workers Union, CA State Association of Letter Carriers, IBEW Locals 47 & 441, Ironworkers 433, Plasters Union Local 200, and Teamsters Joint Council 42.
Douglas Applegate is a Colonel USMCR (retired). Use of his military rank, job titles, and photographs in uniform does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Marine Corps, the Department of the Navy, or the Department of Defense.

Twin County residents remember the day that changed everything
Seventeen years later, Twin County residents have not forgotten.
Today, people across the country will come together in remembrance of the 17th anniversary of 9/11.
On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 terrorists part of the Islamist extremist organization Al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes — two of which were flown into the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center, a third into the Pentagon and the last into a field in Pennsylvania, according to 911memorial.org.
At about 8:46 a.m., American Airlines flight 11 struck floors 93 to 99 of the North Tower. Around 9:03 a.m., United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into floors 77 to 85 of the South Tower.
About an hour later at 10:05 a.m., the South Tower collapsed, followed by the North Tower, just before 10:30 a.m., according to 911memorial.org.
Also at 9:43 a.m. that day, American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon and the fourth hijacked flight, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed in a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania around 10:10 a.m.
The day's attacks killed a total of 2,996 people and injured 6,000 others. Local law enforcement, fire departments and people across the country will attend services today to remember those who lost their lives in the historic tragedy.
Seventeen years later, many Twin County residents continue to remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news.
Clark Rollend, of Stuyvesant, remembers being at work when he found out about the attack.
"I looked out the doorway for the truck deliveries and saw an airplane on the river flying really low, and I thought 'That's not right, we gotta call somebody,'" Rollend said.
He was later called into the break room where he saw television news coverage of the airplanes crashing into the towers.
"I was mad as hell," he said. "It's something I'll never forget."
Joe Frisbee, of Coxsackie, was working from home when his wife called him and told him to turn on the TV, he said.
"At first, I thought it was an accident," Frisbee said. "But when I saw the second plane, I realized it was no accident. I thought it was an all-out war."
The 9/11 terrorist attacks have had a tremendous impact on the nation, both positive and negative, Frisbee said.
"It rallied people patriotically in the short-term, but in the long-term, it made people more fearful of foreigners and immigrants," he said. "A lot of people have forgotten or don't take it seriously."
Ian Crimmins, of Greene County, was a law student at the University of Buffalo when he saw the towers collapse on TV.
"People are more afraid to be friendly — whether that's right or wrong," he said.
Crimmins takes some quiet time on 9/11 to think about the emotional impact it has had on him and the United States.
Judith Rosenburg, from California, was visiting Warren Street in Hudson on Tuesday. Rosenburg's mother woke her up to tell her of the historic 9/11 attacks, she recalled.
"Then we all went to work or school," she added.
An avid traveler, Rosenburg has seen the changes resulting from 9/11 first-hand, she said.
"It changed everything," Rosenburg said. "...It changed the airport experience. It set off these wars that affect a whole generation."
Columbia County will have two memorial services Tuesday. A Remembrance Ceremony will take place at 12:30 p.m. at Columbia-Greene Community College, and Columbia County's 9/11 memorial ceremony will take place at 6 p.m. at Volunteer Park, off State Farm Road, Valatie at 6 p.m.
In Greene County, the annual memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. at the Greene County 911 Dispatch Center, 25 Volunteer Drive, Cairo.
"New Yorkers have always banded together to support the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks and we will never let them be forgotten," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement Monday.
Cuomo also expressed his support for the renewal and expansion of the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund, which compensates for injuries, deaths and health problems caused by the attack.
"In New York, we will always stand with the victims of the attacks and I will work with the New York delegation to lead the effort in ensuring that everyone receives the fair and ample compensation they deserve," Cuomo said.

Oh how seductive are Autumn mornings. Full of golden light, rayed so jaw-droopingly beautifully through the leaves. Plants in autumn reach up lovingly to the sun, after months of shrinking away from the heat of summer. Long tendrils holding flowers wave in the breezes and welcome your passing smile — they nod knowingly in that gentle breeze. Chives and spring onions are flowering. Geraniums as red as lipstick. Mint and lemon verbena. Bog sage. Curry leaf. Earlier, my Lemongrass flowered — the first time ever!
How fitting then to find a recipe of matching gentleness, a warm salad of wine poached baby veggies, needing nothing else but the magnificent flavours of plants, leaves, wine and the very best of oils. Yes, Ottolenghi, you understand Autumn.
Are you after other a la Greque dishes? Try Slow Braised Fennel with Chilli, Garlic and Orange, Zucchini a la Grecque, and Parsley Braised with Olive Oil and Tomatoes. Also try Sweet and Sour Leeks with Burrata.

some notes on the dish
Not a fan of mayonnaise, I left it out. I prefer the taste of the vegetables unconfused by other tastes. Some capers scattered over the cooked vegetables rather than in the mayonnaise is a great addition.
[Update: recently I have begun making my Mother's recipe for Mayonnaise without eggs. It is a mid 1900's classic, but I quite love it. To this mayo I add lemon juice, a little oil and finely chopped capers. It is gorgeous with this dish.]
A variation is to add some green peppercorns to the poaching liquid, and a couple of juniper berries. These compliment the flavours well. The juniper grounds the dish a little without overwhelming the flavours (use only a couple of berries). And the addition of green peppercorns is wonderful.
Be flexible with the vegetable mix used in the dish, but keep away from strong flavours. Hence the use of baby vegetables. In the recipe below is the fairly standard mix. However, the tiniest of Brussels Sprouts were added, very hesitantly as the flavours can be strong. Teeny tomatoes, halved, were also added right at then end of cooking. Gorgeous. And some halved, small green beans.
Serve this as a separate course, so the gentleness of the vegetables can present itself in all it's glory.
Gentle Autumn Vegetables a la Grecque | Baby Vegetables Poached in Oil and Wine
Preparation Time: 20 mins
Cooking Time: 2 hours
Serves: 4 — 6, depending on serving size
these are not exact measurements
200g baby carrots, scraped but leave 2 – 3 cm of the tops
100g baby fennel
1/2 or more bunch fine asparagus
100g baby zucchini
150g baby leeks
4 or 5 baby tomatoes
2 Tblspn chopped dill to serve
Poaching Liquor
600ml White wine, neither too sweet or too dry
200ml good, extra virgin olive oil, just over 2/3 cup
150ml lemon juice, about 1 average lemon
2 bay leaves
5 green peppercorns, whole (optional, but don't use black peppercorns or ground pepper)
2 celery sticks, cut into batons
1/2 onion, halved again
1 tspn salt
Wash the veggies but don't trim them too much. Leave ends, and some of the stalks/leaves. Cut them longways into halves or quarters, depending on size. Aim for similar sized pieces. Thin veggies like asparagus don't need to be cut.
Place the wine in a wide pan and boil for 2 or 3 minutes.
Add the other poaching liquor ingredients and simmer gently for a minute. Add the harder vegetables first, ie the carrots and fennel. After 3 or 4 minutes, add the other vegetables and continue to simmer for a further 3 – 4 minutes. In the last minute, add the halved tomatoes.
Now the vegetables should be cooked but still crunchy. Using tongs, lift the vegetables from the poaching liquor onto a deep plate. Spoon some liquor around the vegetables. (You can keep the remaining liquor in the fridge or freezer to use again.)
Garnish with some fronds of dill and some prepared capers.
I love to eat this as it is. If you would like an egg free dressing, make a dressing similar to this cream dressing on German Tomato Salad, adding garlic and more lemon juice.

Food Ethos
We love Aotearoa, it's the place we call home and we want to share all the flavours we love about our home with our guests. Our food menus are inspired by the land, sea, and people of Aotearoa. Tītī Bird, Red Matipo, Mamaku - items rarely seen on a restaurant menu are regular stars on ours. We place a special focus on researching and showcasing Māori and Polynesian ingredients in modern and innovative ways. This unique style has earned us an accolade or two which is nice, but to us, our guests and their dining experience is what matters the most and not the awards we may gather along the way.
"On one side the food was deeply satisfying and struck a chord with me like no other has; it was my soul food. Yet on the other, so intelligent and thought-provoking that it took a few days to mentally digest."
- Jonny Schwass

December. What a strange month. Where I come from, it is blistering hot and suffocatingly humid in December. If you don't slip on a shirt, slop on some SPF30+ sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek some shade, and slide on some sunnies (sunglasses), then you can pretty much say hello to skin cancer. Australia will do that to you. The sun is just one of a thousand things out to kill you Down Under. With that said, there is probably nothing I love more! The heat and the palm trees - they will forever have my heart. Here in the South of the States, December is much colder, but of course in both Australia and America, people go bananas for Christmas the moment the calendar flips over to December. Some things never change.
I found myself in a similar mindset - rushing through the first two weeks of the month just so I could reach the winter holidays sooner. Down with the assignments and goodbye to quality work, because speed was my best friend as I sought out the most efficient way to arrive at the first day of break. Nothing else seems to matter in December, nothing except for Christmas. And then that lazy week between the birth of Christ and the New Year. I felt like if I just sped through the first two weeks, I could relax and let my brain rest. I would no longer have to reason, judge, or think. I would no longer need to use my head at all.
Alas, how wrong I was. We hard for 11 months of the year, and somehow productivity becomes the enemy in that last, twelfth month. Don't be mistaken, I am not proclaiming that we work every single day of December. I am simply regretting my tendency to completely shut down all intelligent functions when I arrive at that long-awaited winter break. Who says that I need to mindlessly watch TV and fill my head with junk when I can sit by the fire and read a book? Who says that I need to point my head down and immerse myself in a smartphone screen when I can look up and the person in front of me and engage in a simple conversation? I can ask this question many times. The devil delights in my inattentiveness, he loves my passivity. I sit here tonight writing this, because I want to encourage whoever is reading to abandon that urge to drop everything important and become nothing but an eating and sleeping robot. I know all too well the dangers of putting my mind to sleep and acting on nothing but impulse and desire.
Perhaps this wouldn't be such a problem if all we desired was the Lord.
