Before a child is ready to start 'big school' they need to have developed the foundational skills necessary for Prep so that they don't struggle with the demands or pace of learning at school.
This group is for children beginning Prep the following year who need extra assistance to ensure that they are ready to thrive, flourish and enjoy school.
The group will be run by a speech pathologist and an occupational therapist and will target the following:
Pencil grip
pencil control and finger strength
attention and listening skills
Big muscle strength and coordination
and hand eye coordination (this is important for learning to write!)
Self care
and organisational skills
expressing their ideas
understanding language
(following instructions, concepts etc)
Social skills
phonological awareness
pre-literacy skills
The program is tailored to support each child's needs through discussion with families, pre-school teachers, and other health professionals involved.
Parents will be provided with a summary report at the end of the group and suggestions/activities to continue their progress after the program has finished.
The Prepare for Prep groups are run for 3 half days – 9am till 1pm in the January school holidays.
Children will bring their own lunch and participate in a 'lunchtime at school' with social support.
We are fortunate to be able to run our group sessions within schools and early learning centres.
Carryover of social skills teaching is more easily achieved if 'worked on' with the child's peers as they can then replicate the game/session throughout the week. It also teaches other children on how to engage in the right way for your child.
The groups focus on building the foundations for social interactions and play skills needed in everyday life. Skills such as turntaking, eye contact, reading facial expressions and body language, functional play, problem solving, responding to instructions, initiating and maintain interactions, building peer relationships – the list goes on and on!. The program is tailored to the needs of your child.
The groups can be ongoing over the year or for a targeted time, for example a term.
Below is one of our popular school groups –
LEGO Therapy is a social development program for children with social communication difficulties or kids who need to work on their social skills.
It is based on Collaborative Play Therapy because children work together to create LEGO models. It facilitates joint attention, shared goals, social communication and co-operation.
LEGO Therapy works on social skills such as:
- Turn taking
- Eye-contact
- Negotiation
- Patience
- Team work
- Awareness of self and others
- Listener awareness
- Appropriateness
How it works
Sessions will last around 45 minutes (depending on the children in the group). There should be 3 children with an adult to facilitate (if possible the group should be mixed ability to include 1 typically developing peer to be a role model to the others).
Small LEGO kits are used (kits available from stores such as KMART for around $5). For the later stages larger boxes of mixed LEGO are needed. The children will work together to follow the instructions and build the models.
Each child will be given a clearly defined 'LEGO job' and they must stick to this job role rather than overstepping into each other's role throughout the sessions. Jobs are changed at set times throughout the session e.g. use the timer or specify how many instructions in the instruction booklet.
LEGO Therapy is great because it is a positive strategy to use as it focuses on what children can do rather then what they can't do very well i.e. you're coming to the group because you are good at LEGO and/or building things not because you 'need help with your social skills'
LEGO Therapy Jobs
- Engineer: Looks at instructions, and tell the supplier which pieces to get. Then tells the builder what to do with the pieces.
- Supplier: Listens to the Engineer and finds the pieces, checking back with the engineer if they are right. Then passes them to the builder.
- Builder: Listens to the Engineer about what to do with the pieces and builds the model, again checking back with the engineer that what they are doing is right.
Therapist's role
Your therapist may recommend that they initially work 1:1 with your child to introduce the concept and will bring in other children once the child is able to understand and stick to their job role without prompts.
During the group sessions the therapist will need to initially set up the group and structure the session. They will need to prompt children to stick to their roles and the group rules.
However, after a few sessions the therapist will start to step back and will eventually remain mostly silent. This is to allow the children in the group to work together and resolve problems on their own (or with minimal prompts e.g. "We just had a problem, what was the problem? Not "you shouldn't snatch, give it back")
LEGO Therapy Levels
Level 1: Building with an adult using simple LEGO kits
Level 2: Building with one or two peers with an adult as facilitator, using LEGO kits
Level 3: Freestyle building with peers with an adult to monitor
At Joy Therapy we want to make sure that our families can access therapy in a relaxed and cost effective way. We are lucky that we are able to service our children at their daycare or kinders. Sometimes we have several children at the one centre that can work together, therefore reducing the cost for families.
The children will focus on their individual speech sounds that they need to develop and parents will be provided with follow up material each week to practise.

From the physicians point of view, it has always been free. What appears to
be changing is the access point. Nevertheless, the obstacles between the
question(s) that is/are the catalyst for the search and the "found"
information remain the same; how does one go about 1) composing the search
and 2) knowing where to look. In my frame of reference (managing) the
dilemma is almost identical; what is the right question and how should it be
Historically, composing the right question(s) and performing the task part
of the search , including knowing where to look, has always been bound
together. Rather than thinking in terms of "competing with free", consider
thinking in terms of positioning your knowledge and experience as a resource
(to others) for composing effective searches.
I do a fair amount of searches on the internet for customers. I am not
convinced that I do a highly effective job (even though each one is better
than the last), although my customers seem to think so. In all honesty,
thought, they may not have anything to compare my results to. I'd be
curious to see what would happen if the next time I received a search
request, I handed it over to a skilled, experienced librarian and we
"competed" for the best results in the "free" information environment. I
suspect that the librarian would do a lot better. The difference (between
the librarian's results and my results) is, in my opinion, where the value
(and the justification for existence) is to be found in the future.
If this general idea is expanded to include the management of information
throughout the entire organization, the effect that a librarian's skill and
knowledge could have on managers and the quality of their decisions could be
staggering. Despite our protestations to the contrary, and all the hype we
spew about experience, we (managers) know little or nothing about collecting
data, converting it to information, and using it as a basis for formulating
responses (decisions) to strategic and operational issues in health care
organizations. I see many rich opportunities for the skills librarians
have, although not necessarily in the same venues in which they have
traditionally been found.

Deadline: 23 February 2020
Send your EoI to Jennifer Orr (firstname.lastname@example.com)
THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR ROMANTIC STUDIES is pleased to invite Expressions of Interest for the 2023 International Biennial Conference. The last two BARS conferences (York 2017 and Nottingham 2019) were very successful, and we will be co-hosting a large conference with the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism at Edge Hill University in Summer 2021.
Since 2015, attendance at BARS conferences has grown to around 250 and delegate feedback has been very positive. We are very much looking forward to working with institutions in continuing to build on and to diversify the successful BARS model. Please consult the programmes for Cardiff, York and Nottingham as guides for your proposal.
A decision will be made by the BARS Executive at its next meeting in March 2020 and the successful applicants will be invited to submit a report for the following Executive meeting, which will be held electronically in July 2020. The successful applicants will also be expected to make a presentation at the next conference, Edge Hill 2021.
Host institutions are expected to take account of the following in preparing their Expressions of Interest:
Venue location, capacity and accessibility
We expect numbers could range between 250 to 275 delegates: please bear this figure in mind when bidding. You will need a plenary lecture hall large enough to accommodate these numbers, plus a sufficient number of breakout rooms and catering facilities (BARS conferences can normally have around ten parallel sessions). For North American colleagues in particular, the distance from a major airport and transport links will be an important factor, so please bear this in mind.
We expect organizers to offer a range of accommodation from traditional student-type lodgings through to hotel-level facilities. Sufficient cheaper accommodation to allow postgraduate participation is desirable: such accommodation should be within reasonable walking distance of the conference venue or the organizers should make suitable travel arrangements to take delegates to and from the venue.
The venue is expected to meet the usual requirements for facilities in academic meetings, including Wi-Fi and PowerPoint/projection facilities in all rooms. It is desirable that the meeting rooms are in reasonably close proximity to each other and that there is a communal meeting area or foyer, preferably with refreshment facilities so that delegates can socialize and browse publisher stands.
In order to comply with BARS's commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, conference organizers should ensure that the venue, accommodation and transportation are fully accessible.
Conference theme
This should be of sufficient scope and significance to allow the Association's members to take part. Recent themes have been 'Romantic Imprints', 'Romantic Improvement', 'Romantic Facts and Fantasies' and 'New Romantics'. The full list of previous conferences can be found on the BARS website.
The conference has typically run from Thursday to Sunday in the second half of July, with the conference commencing on the afternoon of the first day and finishing on Sunday afternoon. However, this is a flexible schedule and proposers are encouraged to deviate from this model, for instance proposing a Monday-to-Thursday event (indeed, BARS 2021 will be running from Tuesday to Friday).
The BARS Executive normally meet on the evening before the conference begins: organizers will need to arrange a suitable venue for this (two-hour) meeting. The meeting typically concludes with a short tour of the conference venue for the Executive members in attendance. In fixing on a date, it is especially important organizers should check which conferences are already scheduled for what is often a busy time in the calendar and liaise with conference and society chairs in order to avoid clashes wherever possible and facilitate attendance at all events. Conferences which run during summers and are likely to be attended by BARS delegates include those hosted by the British Association for Victorian Studies, the International Conference on Romanticism, the International Gothic Association, the International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies and the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism.
The CFP is usually circulated by October of the preceding year (2022) and the outcome of the refereeing process confirming speakers is usually made by the middle of January.
Vetting of papers
It is usual for members of the BARS Executive to serve on the panel which referees the proposals for panel papers, though the local organizers have the final right of veto. (It is desirable that papers are refereed not only for the integrity of the event, but also to help delegates secure financial support from funding bodies and institutions.)
The programme usually takes the form of parallel sessions consisting of panels where delegates deliver 20-minute papers. BARS welcomes convened and themed panels that reflect cutting-edge projects and collaborative research, and other formats such as roundtables and workshops. In addition, there are usually four or five plenary lectures, one of which is designated the Stephen Copley Lecture and another the Marilyn Butler lecture in memory of BARS's founding members and much-loved scholars. Plenaries are chosen by the local organizing committee, though BARS expects this to reflect a gender balance and a mixture of national and international scholars. In the arrangements of the panel sessions and the timing of the plenary lectures the organizers are asked to consider seriously the responsibility of offering all speakers a reasonable size of audience (it is now standard practice to end the conference on the final day with a keynote). BARS expects panels to incorporate postgraduate and early career researchers opportunities alongside more established academics. The programme should also include specific sessions targeted at professional development for ECRs.
Reception, Book Prize, Banquet, PGR/ECR reception
The BARS conference includes a reception (normally on the first night), a slot for the BARS First Book Prize awards (this can be done at the reception or can be separate), and a banquet on the third night. It has increasingly been the case that informal meals are offered on the second night, although this depends on local factors such as whether the conference venue is campus-based or near a well-provisioned civic centre. Payment for the banquet is optional and can be purchased during registration. There should also be an evening slot for a reception aimed specifically at postgraduate and early career researchers: this typically takes the form of informal drinks and/or dinner, and often runs on the second night but should not be scheduled against the Banquet, in case PGRs/ECRs wish to attend.
Refreshments and lunches
BARS expects the conference registration fee to include refreshments (before the first sessions each day and regular 30-minute coffee breaks), buffet food for the reception, and lunches on Days 2 to 4 (one of these can be a brown bag lunch on the excursion day). Please build this into your costs.
Conference excursion
It is usual to arrange an excursion or choice of excursions with laid-on transport within the schedule, to take place usually on the Saturday (i.e. Day 3) afternoon, and to a 'Romantic' venue with general relevance to the conference e.g. a museum, estate, birthplace, gallery. We are keen to explore offering the excursion on another day (e.g. the final day of the conference, or before the main activity of the conference commences), for reasons of inclusivity. The excursion is always an optional extra in terms of costings and can be purchased during registration.
Biennial General Meeting
The conference organizers are required to find a central time (at least one hour, which can be the lunch hour) within the schedule to host the BARS BGM. Key aspects of the BGM are: presentation of reports from the Executive to Membership; election of the new BARS Executive for 2023–2025; presentations on the PGR/ECR conference in 2024 and BARS 2025.
Organizers are asked to keep costs as low as possible without compromising the quality of the event. Please provide as much information as you can about the predicted registration fee, including a day rate and discounted rates for PGRs, ECRs, retired and unwaged, as well as whether you propose to include discounted 'early bird' rates. In order to maximize inclusion, day rates must feature as part of the package offered to delegates.
BARS is willing to provide an appropriate level of support to its international conference; any profits are expected to be shared 50/50 with BARS.
The selection committee strongly encourages proposers to include indicative budgets with projected income and costings, in order to confirm the event's viability and affordability for delegates.
Organizers will maintain contact with the BARS Executive throughout the planning process. This is usually managed by the co-option of a local organizer onto the BARS Executive for a period of two or more years. A delegation from BARS will also make a site visit in 2021 or 2022 to check through logistics, run through the programme and offer general advice. The BARS Executive will also approve the final programme.

Regular Consumption Of Fish May Fend Off Asthma9 months ago
Posted on Jul 03, 2019, 9 p.m.
Millions of people from around the world experience having their breathing hampered by asthma. A study from James Cook University indicates the answer may be found under the sea.
As published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health after testing 642 people eating more fish was found to significantly reduce the risk of developing asthma according to the researchers.
"Around 334 million people worldwide have asthma, and about a quarter of a million people die from it every year. Asthma incidence has nearly doubled in the past 30 years and about half of asthma patients do not get any benefit from the drugs available to treat it. So there's a growing interest in non-drug treatment options." explains Andreas Lopata in a press release.
People are eating more easy fast food and less fresh food, and this is a global concern. Fish consumption was focussed on in this study because the team believes the rise in global asthma rate is linked to people eating less fish while consuming more vegetable oil, specifically more n-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid and less n-3 PUFA found in fish and other marine vegetables.
Based on their results certain types of n-3 PUFA from marine oils were found to significantly reduce the risk of developing asthma like symptoms by up to 62%; and increased consumption of n-6 was associated with a 67% higher risk of developing asthma.
Results support other studies suggesting the inflammatory role of n-6 in the development of asthma, and provides more evidence that n-3 has protective properties, according to Professor Lopata, who adds that more research is required on what effects specific types of n-3 have and how beneficial roles may be optimised, as well as on minimising the negative effects of n-6.
"Even if you factor in contaminants such as mercury found in some fish populations, the benefits of fish and seafood intake far more outweighs the potential risks," said Professor Lopata.

Seoul, South Korea, 30th March 2001
Me and my wife and my less than 1 year old baby fly to Seoul on 29th March 2001, the reason was because my father in law was sick and stayed in hospital. My father in law has passed away after 1 month we arrived in Seoul.
Sometime between June to July 2001 (forgot the exact date) I got my first official job as a software developer in Ahnlab.

"Celestial Bank" is a short comedy sketch about the dangers of avarice and status/wealth.
Keywords: Money, mammon, greed, wealth, status, humility
Bible Reference: James 4:3
Cast: 3 adult males, 1 adult female; any ages from early twenties on
1 Offstage VOICE, male or female
Police Officer
ATM Voice
Set: Bare stage
Special effects: Offstage "VOICE" as required for ATM
Props: Large appliance box big enough for a small adult or older child to fit inside unseen, with a small "drawer" that can slide in and out. Box should be painted/labeled to resemble an ATM, with the words "CELESTIAL BANK – THE BANK WITH A SOUL."
Costumes: Normal street clothes for Dave, Jim, and Susan. Some sort of police uniform (badge, gun. etc.) for Police Officer.
Lighting: Standard
Sound: Standard
Special instructions:
See "Props" above. Actor inside box can also provide ATM "voice", but it would need to be amplified.
Time: 10 minutes
The scene is a street corner. A free-standing ATM machine bears the logo "CELESTIAL BANK – THE BANK WITH A SOUL". A man, DAVE, happily approaches the ATM and swipes his card. He is GREETED by an overly-cloying ATM VOICE.
ATM VOICE: Good morning, sir, and welcome to Celestial Bank. We're the bank with a soul. How can I help you today?
DAVE: Uh, yeah, I just need to get some cash.
ATM Voice: Certainly, sir. I see from your card your name is Dave. How much would you like. Dave?
DAVE: Oh, I guess $100 should do it.
ATM Voice (after a brief pause):
Hmm, that's interesting.
DAVE: What's interesting?
ATM VOICE: According to our records, we just gave you $100 yesterday.
DAVE (startled): So what?
ATM VOICE: What happened to that money, Dave?
DAVE (more startled):
Excuse me?
ATM VOICE: You seem to be going through a great deal of money these days, Dave. $1000 over the last week alone. Where did it all go?
DAVE: I don't know, lots of stuff. Things are really expensive these days.
ATM VOICE: I don't think you're being completely honest, Dave.
Dave looks around with a growing look of puzzlement.
DAVE: I'm sorry, what did you say?
ATM VOICE: I said you haven't been completely honest about your spending habits, Dave. You've been playing the ponies, haven't you?
DAVE (flabbergasted):
How…how did you know that?
ATM VOICE: We have an ATM at the race track, Dave. And one at Chez Pierre, that expensive French restaurant downtown. You took your secretary to lunch there this week. Twice. Does your wife know about that?
Dave is thoroughly confused and more than a little embarrassed.
DAVE: Look, I really don't see how that's any of your business. Can't I just have my money? I'm kind of in a hurry.
ATM VOICE: Say, that's a very nice watch you're wearing, Dave. Is that a Rolex?
DAVE: Uh, yes. Yes, it is.
ATM VOICE: May I see it?

The Sinclair Method
Did You Know

The Sinclair Method
Are you drinking too much?
Do you know you need help but feel the 12-step approach is not the right one for you?
The Sinclair Method is used to treat alcoholism and uncontrollable drinking. It is an alternative to the 12-step approach and it is a non-abstinence approach.
The Sinclair Method is a pharmacological extinction process. It uses a medication called Naltrexone. Naltrexone is taken
one hour prior to drinking. It blocks the body's response to alcohol, enabling you to drink less and eventually it extinguishes the need for alcohol. Research shows The Sinclair Method has a 78% long term success rate (compared to abstinence success rate of approximately 15%).
The Sinclair Method does not require therapy. However, the medication blocks the physiological effects of alcohol, not
the psychological problems that contribute to drinking too much, nor the psychological damage created by
excessive drinking. Dr. Raquepaw has found that people tend to have more overall success and psychological well-being using the method in conjunction with therapy.
Dr. Raquepaw conducts therapy used in conjunction with The Sinclair Method. She does not prescribe. However, she will work with you in helping you find a prescribing physician that fits your needs.
If The Sinclair Method might be the right approach for you, call today 713-909-4841.

One could argue that they just don't make toys like they used to. The 1990s brought with it a whole new attitude toward playing. Some awesome fads and crazes came about, some pretty pointless gadgets made its way into the decade, but overall it was a great decade for kids to be kids. Disagree? Take a look at these 25 toys from the 1990s that will induce a serious sense of nostalgia.
1: Tamagatchi
You wanted a pet, right? Well you got a Tamagatchi instead. Close enough. The needy digital pet gave kids a sense of responsibility. And who doesn't like cleaning up pixelated poop?
2: Beanie Babies
Ah, beloved Beanie Babies. "Be careful with those tags! Those Beanie Babies are going to be worth money someday." Just wondering, has anyone gotten rich off of their Princess Diana TY yet?
3: Tickle Me Elmo
This is one of those toys parents wished they had never purchased. Elmo giggled when you tickled him and when you tickled him more, he laughed more. What wasn't so "tickling" was the frantic search to purchase one of these hard-to-find toys when it seemed like they were sold out everywhere.
4: Furby
Furby was a step up from a Tamagatchi in a way. I'd say kids got about an hour of play in before adults wanted to yank its batteries out because of repetitive noises. Luckily, most kids got to teach it some bad words first.
5: Talkboy
Even Kevin McCallister had one. You know you wanted one, too. The portable variable-speed cassette player and recorder was originally conceived as a non-working prop for the 1992 movie Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. One week prior to Black Friday, a fully working retail version, based on specifications provided by the movie studio, was available at Toys "R" Us, the same day the movie hit theaters.
6: Fashion Plates
Fashion Plates may have gotten started in the 80s, but girls of the 90s that dreamed of being fashion designers were still dying to play with them. Place a piece of paper over one of the cut out stencil plates and rub it with a crayon to become an instant designer.
7: Lisa Frank Everything
Lisa Frank was definitely a craze in the 90s. Lisa Frank's colors were captivating and girls everywhere wanted stickers, folders, erasers, pencils and more that were covered in majestic unicorns and bears.
8: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Ninja Turtles are somewhat timeless. The kids are still playing with them today. The 1990s brought with it so many TMNT action figures it's hard to keep accurate count.
9: Polly Pocket
Do you remember the days you used to step on tiny people that dotted your living room floor? If you had kids in the 90s you sure remember finding those teeny Polly shoes all over your house. And then the question. Can I just throw this away?
10: American Girl Dolls
Here's another classic still relevant today, but back in the 90s American Girl dolls were fresh. It all started with the original three girls and their historical books: Kirsten Larson, Samantha Parkington, and Molly McIntre. American Girl was born and still thrives.
11: Pretty Pretty Princess
Young girls were captivated by this fun dress-up game which allowed you to collect princess jewelry with every spin of the wheel.
12: Super Soakers
Water guns are water guns, but Super Soakers took it to a whole other level. I'm sure everyone (except maybe innocent bystanders of water warfare) appreciated a giant barrel of water that would allow for longer periods of shooting.
13: Troll Dolls
Troll Dolls originated in Denmark in the 1950s, but made a huge comeback in the 90s when "Norfin Trolls" and a variety of boy-targeted trolls hit the market. With cartoon tie-ins, these plastic dolls with combed-up furry hair in various colors were super popular in the early 1990s.
14: Baby Sinclair
Surely you remember "Not the Mama", "I'm the Baby", "Gotta love me", "I'm gonna bite you now" and a few other phrases that came from this baby dinosaur when you pulled the string!
15: Super Nintendo
Sure, you can get a Super Nintendo Classic Mini version these days, but back in the 1990s, the original was the thing to have. Spending hours playing Super Mario World was the best. Good times.
16: Puppy Surprise
A pregnant plush dog birthed out a bunch of tiny plush puppies and kids went crazy over it. The fun was in not knowing how many puppies might be born!
17: Pokemon Cards
Yes, the kids are still going crazy over Pokemon cards, but the 90s is where it all began. Maybe you purchased countless booster packs to build the best deck for battle or filled an entire binder with the original 151 cards. Do you still have them?
18: POGs
Did anyone actually know what to do with these? Actually, POGs got their start as a popular schoolyard game in Hawaii. Cardboard bottle caps from the popular POG brand were put into stacks and then hit with metal bottle caps. It's amazing how a simple game like this spread like wildfire in the 90s.
19: Creepy Crawlers
In 1996 this game was reintroduced to children everywhere. That decade Toymax sold over five million big-baking ovens and more than 60 million bottles of the Plasti-Goop used to create them. Don't ask what was in it. You don't want to know.
20: Water Snakes
Here's a useless classic. A tube full of water that kids were thrilled to get their hands on.
21: Don't Wake Daddy
This was a fun one. Players had to move around the board and risk waking Dad up. Daddy was sleeping in his spring-loaded bed, so if you did something that might cause him to stir, you would have to press the snooze button on his alarm clock. Chances are he would wake up abruptly and you'd get sent back to bed.
22: Baby All Gone
The lifelike baby doll ate all of her cherries from a jar and drank formula from her bottle. The food just "disappeared" right before kids' eyes.
23: Skip It
Who doesn't enjoy locking their ankle into a plastic hoop and skipping. Don't forget the counter that kept track of each skip you took!
24: Doodle Bear
A stuffed animal you could draw on, and then throw in the washing machine to draw on again. Fun times.
25: Hit Clips
Maybe you disagree, but why would anyone want to listen to just a few seconds of a song? Apparently the kids did, and they loved it.
Feeling old yet? How many of these toys did you have as a kid? Which were your favorites? Let's reminisce together.

consensus on proposed MC11 decision on pesticide residues
Published in SUNS #8571 dated 9 November 2017
Geneva, 8 Nov (Kanaga Raja) - A proposed decision by Kenya, Uganda
and the United States on pesticide maximum residue levels (MRLs) sought
to be tabled before ministers at the upcoming WTO's eleventh ministerial
conference (MC11) in Buenos Aires has failed to garner consensus.
This became evident at a formal meeting of the Committee on Sanitary
and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) on 2-3 November.
The proponents have circulated the latest revision of their proposal
(G/SPS/W/292/Rev.2) which contains a set of five recommendations that
stem from a workshop on pesticide MRLs held by the SPS Committee last
year, as well as a proposed Ministerial Decision that the proponents
have invited the SPS Committee to endorse for transmission to MC11.
The proposal was earlier discussed at an informal meeting of the SPS
Committee on 1 November.
According to trade officials, the five recommendations mooted by the
proponents in their proposal include:
1. Increasing the capacity and efficiency of Codex Alimentarius in
setting international standards on pesticide MRLs;
2. Improving transparency and predictability in Members' setting of
national MRLs;
3. Sharing information on international and regional efforts to harmonize,
streamline, and improve MRL setting processes;
4. Enabling greater access to lower-risk pesticides and pesticides
for minor-use crops, particularly in developing countries; and
5. Discussing the role of the SPS Committee in increasing coordination
and harmonization.
The proposed Ministerial Decision annexed to the proposal (G/SPS/W/292/Rev.2)
"The Ministerial Conference decides as follows:
"We recognize the work undertaken by the SPS Committee to examine
pesticide-related issues that have an adverse impact on international
trade in food and agricultural products, and to achieve consensus
on collaborative actions to reduce that impact on trade, particularly
on the agricultural exports of developing countries. We affirm the
central importance of risk analysis to assess, manage and communicate
[risks of concern] [risks] associated with pesticide use in order
to protect public health while enabling the safe use of pesticides
and facilitating trade in food and agricultural products. We endorse
the consensus reached in the SPS Committee on voluntary actions by
Members to increase the capacity and efficiency of Codex in setting
international standards on pesticide maximum residue levels (MRLs);
to improve transparency and predictability in Members' setting of
national MRLs; to achieve greater [harmonization] [alignment] across
national and regional MRLs; and, to enable greater access to alternative
pesticides and pesticides for minor-use crops, particularly in developing
countries. We acknowledge the productive work of the Standards and
Trade Development Facility (STDF) in building knowledge and capacity
for developing countries in the area of pesticide MRLs. We encourage
the SPS Committee to monitor the effectiveness of the voluntary actions
and the STDF work in addressing trade concerns related to food and
agricultural products and to consider further collaborative, consensus
actions as appropriate."
In a separate Job/CTG/11 document submitted to the Council for Trade
in Goods, the three proponents said that agricultural producers report
growing concern over the impact on their exports of missing and misaligned
maximum residue levels (MRLs) for pesticides in markets around the
Since 2014, Members of the Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary
Measures (SPS) have discussed these concerns and heard from experts
from the Codex Alimentarius (Codex), the World Health Organization,
the Food and Agriculture Organization, regulatory authorities of Members,
producer groups and other industry experts on collaborative work underway
in other fora to reduce the impact of missing and misaligned MRLs
on exports of food and agricultural products, particularly for developing
According to the proponents, despite extensive recent improvements,
additional efforts to address current capacity limitations in Codex
are needed to develop the array of MRLs needed to support global trade.
In addition, the data packages necessary to evaluate safety are expensive
to develop, and in some cases (such as for pesticides that have gone
off patent, or for minor-uses and specialty crops) there is little
economic incentive to develop these data packages.
Additional work is needed to address these issues, including greater
support for the collaborative work on data generation and submission,
as well as support for creative initiatives underway in, inter alia,
the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the East African
Community (EAC).
In addition, work in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) on common dossiers and standard methodologies for
calculating national MRLs can help to address unnecessary variations
in MRLs across major markets, they said.
The proponents said that they are seeking agreement of the SPS Committee
on these actions at its meeting on 2-3 November 2017, and endorsement
of a Ministerial Decision for MC-11.
Ministerial recognition of the recommendations would elevate them
from their current technical and regulatory context and provide significant
momentum towards resolution, they maintained.
According to trade officials, the Chair of the SPS Committee, Mr.
Marcial Espinola Ramirez of Paraguay, said that he had heard broad
support for both the recommendations and the proposed ministerial
decision. A few members supported the recommendations but voiced concerns
about a ministerial decision; and one member felt the proposed decision
does not fully address the spectrum of issues related with MRLs, and
thus considered it premature to recommend the proposal to a higher
Senegal, Argentina, Canada, Nigeria, Madagascar, Turkey, Uruguay,
Colombia, Costa Rica, Belize, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Ukraine, Peru,
and Liberia expressed support for both the recommendations and the
draft ministerial decision.
According to trade officials, India pointed out that its own proposal
on pesticide MRLs (G/SPS/W/284, 2 April 2015) remains unaddressed.
Therefore, India said, it would be premature to recommend the joint
proposal in its current form to the Council for Trade in Goods (CTG)
for consideration.
[According to India, the main purpose of its paper is to put in context
the persistent problem faced by exporters from developing countries
with application of limits of detection (LoD) of pesticide residues
in importing countries. It has been observed by India that LoD is
being resorted to frequently in respect of substances where international
standards as established by the Codex in fact exist, the Indian paper
[This practice of having the MRL at LoD level in respect of pesticides
not registered/not in use in the importing country, is increasing
among Members and is highly disruptive to international trade, the
paper pointed out. It cited several examples in this regard.
[India had recommended that the systemic issues for imports arising
from use of LoD needs further consideration within the SPS Committee.
It needs to be considered whether certain guidelines can be recommended
before importing countries resort to any default LoD levels, with
a view to minimizing the adverse impact on trade, it said.]
According to trade officials, Russia also said that it is concerned
that the draft decision for MC11 has come at a late stage and members
still have disagreements on the recommendations.
China said that the proposal has scientific and representative basis.
It expressed hope that its suggested changes to the text would be
taken on board. It also informed members that Beijing was still considering
the proposed ministerial decision.
According to trade officials, the United States said that it is "unfortunate"
that the SPS Committee had lost an opportunity for an MC11 decision.
The issue of MRLs disproportionally affect farmers and growers in
developing countries and LDCs, the US maintained.
Therefore, it said, the lost opportunity for a decision on this matter
is disappointing for these, as well as for policymakers in developing
countries who worked so hard to advance trade opportunities.
The US went on to address the concerns voiced by the opponents of
a decision on this issue at MC11, saying that although a first draft
of the ministerial decision was only circulated on 3 October, the
issue has been discussed in the SPS Committee for over a year.
According to the US, the Committee has a mandate to deal with matters
concerning food safety, animal and plant health standards.
According to trade officials, the US signalled that it would no longer
pursue a ministerial decision on this issue by MC11. Kenya and Uganda
however did not indicate their plans, trade officials added.
The Chair of the SPS Committee said that he is open to continuing
the discussions. According to trade officials, he called on members
to continue to discuss with their capitals and with each other.
Apart from this issue, the SPS Committee also discussed several specific
trade concerns that have been raised by members including on the EU's
residue requirements on the use of three pesticides; the EU's maximum
level for cadmium in foodstuffs; the EU's proposed criteria to identify
endocrine disruptors; on India's fumigation requirements; and the
EU's salmonella limits in poultry meat.
According to trade officials, under an agenda item on monitoring of
international standards, Argentina and the US voiced concerns over
the ongoing delays in the EU over the renewal of the authorization
for glyphosate, a herbicide widely used in weed control.
This concern was also echoed by Canada and New Zealand.
[Glyphosate is the main ingredient in Monsanto's herbicide Roundup
that is to be used along with its genetically modified crop seeds;
and some recent studies have suggested a cancer risk linked to the
use of Roundup. SUNS]
Last month, EU member states had failed to agree on whether to renew
the license for glyphosate for a further 10 years.
The US maintained that members' actions to restrict the use of glyphosate
appear to lack scientific justification.
It said the scientific body setting international standards - the
joint FAO/WHO meeting on pesticide residues (JMPR) - concluded that
glyphosate does not pose a risk to consumers or pose public health
According to trade officials, the EU said there had been intensive
internal discussions on the possible renewal of the glyphosate license.
The EU said it is committed to finding a solution that ensures a high
level of protection for human health and the environment and that
is based on sound science.

Terrorism Panic – a Welcome Excuse?
Just before the opening of the Olympic Games in Beijing, two terrorist attacks shook China, killing a total of more than 20 people, mainly police officers. The Chinese authorities accused Muslim extremists of carrying out the bombings. Since then, the world has started taking notice of an ethnic group previously only familiar to specialists: the Uighurs. Albrecht Metzger has the details
The Uighurs are Muslims, speak a Turkic language and are also culturally distinct from the majority of the Han Chinese. But researchers or journalists wanting to find out more about them soon run up against difficulties. The subject of religious minorities in China is a controversial one, particularly when it comes to the Uighurs.
The Hamburg-based ethnologist Patricia v. Hahn knows all about this problem. Two years ago, she planned to write a PhD on the Muslim minority in the Northwest of China, but had to abandon the project as her research proved so difficult from the very outset.
"I wanted to contact an interview partner via email. I was aware that I ought to avoid words like terrorism or separatism," she explains. "So I only asked him what the Uighurs' relations with the Chinese were like." A comparatively harmless question – but she never received an answer.
It was not until she asked her contact person about personal issues that she got a response again. "The other email may well have been intercepted by the Chinese authorities," Patricia v. Hahn suspects.
Panic over Uighur separatism
The Chinese panic over Uighur separatism is related to the geographical location of Xinjiang, the area where the Uighurs are settled. Xinjiang borders on Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to the West, and Pakistan and Afghanistan to the South – all countries with partly strong Islamic movements that might potentially join forces with the Uighurs, or so the Chinese fear.
In actual fact, there were several Uighurs in Afghanistan during the Taliban rule. The Chinese authorities have cited up to 1000 extremists allegedly trained by the Taliban, 300 of whom were picked up by the USA.
This figure is likely to be extremely exaggerated, however. "Many of the Uighurs in Afghanistan were probably just refugees," says Guido Steinberg, an expert on Islamic terrorism at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs in Berlin. "I don't consider the Chinese very credible on this matter."
Guido Steinberg is not the only German security expert not to trust the Chinese on this issue. Up to the 11 September 2001 attacks, there were few reports of Islamist extremists in Xinjiang. Although there were a number of attacks in the region during the 1990s, it is still unclear who carried them out.
So it was all the more surprising how freely the Chinese government joined in the "War on Terror" after 11 September. China was just as much at threat from Islamic extremism as the USA and Europe, the official explanation had it.
Terrorism panic – a welcome excuse?
That meant the Chinese could kill two birds with one stone: firstly, their relations with the USA improved instantly, having previously been extremely tense. Up to then, the Bush government had viewed its opponent in the battle for global influence as China, not the Islamic world.
And secondly, the Chinese security authorities were able to continue their harsh repression of the Uighurs without prompting major criticism. From this point of view, the Uighurs are in an even worse position than the Tibetans, who at least have a globally networked solidarity movement behind them. The Uighurs, on the other hand, were of no interest whatsoever until very recently.
But who are the Uighur Islamists? The United Nations bowed to pressure from the USA in 2002, putting the "East Turkistan Islamic Movement" (ETIM) on its list of terrorist organisations. The Chinese authorities accuse the group of working with Osama bin Laden. ETIM had hardly made an impression beforehand, and has not ventured into the public arena since.
Guido Steinberg from the German Institute for International and Security Affairs suspects that some Uighurs may have joined the "Islamic Jihad Union" (IJU). The IJU, mainly made up of Uzbeks, operates in the border territories between Afghanistan and Pakistan and is alleged to have encouraged German Muslims to launch a terrorist attack in Germany.
The court case against the members of the "Sauerland cell" arrested in Germany in August 2007 begins this coming autumn.
Regardless of these possible links, German security experts are hardly trembling in fear at Uighur extremists – despite the fact that the World Uighur Congress, one of the most important exile organisations from Xinjiang, is based in Munich.
The Chinese embassy in Berlin has been leaning on the German government to close the World Uighur Congress for years, claiming it is responsible for terrorist attacks in China.
To form their own opinion on the situation, the German Federal Criminal Police Office sent a delegation to Beijing to find out about the alleged terrorist activities of Uighurs living in Germany. The evidence was scant, however, and the World Uighur Congress has not been banned in Germany.
Major potential for violence
"My experience is that the Uighurs in exile want autonomy," says the ethnologist Patricia v. Hahn. "According to the 1955 constitution, the Uighurs even have the right to autonomy, just as they have the right to freedom of religion." These rights, however, are not granted.
There certainly is potential for violence, she adds. "I know from people who have been there that there is a more radical faction among the Uighurs, which might become a threat."
The recent attacks might have been carried out by such a faction, calling attention to the Uighurs' problems from around the world. But other scenarios are also possible. Might it even be the Chinese secret service behind the events?
China's secret service is currently generally mistrusted, a victim of its own murky information policy. But that may well not bother the authorities – the recent bombings are the perfect justification for their newly tightened security regime.

China's Muslim Minority
China's Battle Against the Uighurs
The way China is treating the Tibetan uprising has outraged the West. The suffering of the Uighurs, on the other hand, receives little attention. Beijing defends the suppression of the Muslim minority as fighting terrorism. Andreas Leixnering reports
The Islamic Jihad Union
Willing Terrorists from Germany
The Islamic Jihad Union, an offshoot of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, advocates the systematic internationalisation of "Holy War" and has aligned itself with the Taliban in Afghanistan and al-Qaida at international level. Guido Steinberg analyses this little-known terrorist group
Tibetan Conflict
Third Party: Muslims
One foreign freelance journalist has managed to enter the Tibetan crisis zone as a tourist. According to her observations, the protests are not just the result of major aggressions against Han Chinese on the part of Tibetans, but also of antipathy towards Muslims. By Nina Ritter

Victims and survivors of impaired driving have rights in the judicial system. MADD Canada can provide information about the justice system, victim and survivor rights and provide support to those making their way through the system. MADD Canada has developed A Victim's Guide to the Criminal Justice System to help victims and survivors understand how the justice system works, impaired driving laws and the role of victims and survivors in the system.
Canadian Victims Bill of Rights
In 2015, Parliament passed the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights which lays out what "rights" victims have in the criminal justice system. The following are some highlights of the principles found in the bill. Victims and survivors can:
- Request information about the criminal justice system and your role in it;
- Request information about the services and programs;
- File a complaint if you believe your rights were infringed upon or denied;
- Request information about the status and outcome of the investigation;
- Request information about the location/time of court proceedings as well as their progress and outcome;
- Request information about conditional release (i.e. parole) reviews and the timing and conditions of any release;
- Request testimonial aids when appearing as a witness in proceedings relating to the offence;
- Present a victim impact statement; and
- Have the court consider making a restitution order against the offender.
Most provinces and territories have similar legislation so victims and survivors should consult the legislation in their own province or territory. Victims and survivors may contact the Victim Services Manager in your region or the local Victim Services Volunteer in their area.
This video will provide some answers to frequently asked questions about the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights. The video also contains insights from victims and survivors who have been through the criminal justice system. If you have additional questions or require support, please contact MADD Canada's victim services.
Sentencing and Victim Impact Statements
Sentencing for impaired driving, particularly for impaired driving cases that involve death or injury, can be complicated and complex. A number of factors can influence the sentence a judge gives an offender, including plea deals, whether the offender has previous convictions, the level of intoxication, etc. Sentences for impaired driving causing death or injury have become longer over the past 15 years; it used to be common for a conviction of impaired driving causing death to result in a sentence of 2 years or less and often it was a conditional sentence, meaning the offender could serve it at home instead of being imprisoned. However, many victims and survivors feel that sentences fall short of their expectations. MADD Canada's Sentencing Framework for Impaired Driving offers information on sentencing principles of the Canadian justice system and our recommended sentencing range.
Victims and survivors have the right to present a Victim Impact Statement before the judge decides on a sentence and the judge must consider it. Statements may be presented in writing or read aloud in court. The Crown or Victim Services should discuss this with victims and survivors and MADD Canada Victim Services Managers and Volunteers are available to provide information and support. Many MADD Canada Chapters support victims and survivors through the court process and may be available to attend court to offer support.
This video will provide some answers to frequently asked questions about Victim Impact Statements. The video also contains insights from victims and survivors who have presented Victim Impact Statements. If you have additional questions or require support, please contact MADD Canada's victim services.
Parole and Corrections
Most offenders do not serve their entire sentence in prison. Victims and survivors may receive information about the offender from the Correctional Service of Canada and the Parole Board of Canada. For example victims and survivors can find out what prison the offender is serving his/her sentence in, when the offender can apply for parole and victims and survivors may attend the hearing and present a Victim Impact Statement. Justice Canada offers financial assistance to attend hearings. Victims and survivors need to register to receive information.
MADD Canada Victim Services Managers and Volunteers are available to assist with the registration process and can provide information and support throughout the parole process. How to get more information about the justice system and how MADD Canada can support victims and survivors:

- Gloria Appleby, Atlantic Region (NS, NB, PE, NL) at 1-866-381-8310 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Glossary of Legal Terms
If you are involved in any legal proceeding, you will probably hear terms you are not familiar with. To assist you, MADD Canada has compiled a list of the definitions for common legal terms, which can help to understand legal problems and procedures. Please note, these definitions are short and should not be relied on to conduct your legal affairs.

WSVN — In the animal world you can call them the showoffs, strutting around, majestic, colorful. Peacocks are an eye-catcher.
Lizzy DeBolt: "'They're gorgeous,' that's what I thought at first."
Lizzy lives in Cooper City, home to a few wild roaming peacocks. You can find them in other cities in South Florida, like Fort Lauderdale and Coconut Grove. Nice to look at. Not always nice to live near.
Lizzy DeBolt: "Then they started terrorizing me, and they're like a nightmare now."
The peacocks, often called peafowl, have really damaged Lizzy's property.
Lizzy DeBolt: "It's a new scratch from this morning!"
The birds like to stand on Lizzy's car. When they look down and see their reflection, they start to attack it.
Lizzy DeBolt: "Oh man, and look at all these scratches. There's tons of scratches all over here. This is brand new!"
They get up on the roof … and go to work.
Lizzy DeBolt: "I had to get my roof replaced. They dig holes in it, and you can hear them running on the ceiling like big men, 'doom doom doom.'"
Lizzy had a nice screen over her pool. Had.
Lizzy DeBolt: "But then they have torn all my screens on the very top of my swimming pool only, and the neighbors' too."
They now like to walk around the pool and leave these souvenirs.
Lizzy DeBolt: "We used to swim before, but ever since the peacocks started pooping, for years now I haven't gone in that pool."
Lizzy says the damage is endless, and it's easy to know when the next attack is coming.
Lizzy DeBolt: "And they scream too. Sounds like someone is getting killed in the neighborhood."
The birds are wild. They don't belong to anybody, so Lizzy started making calls and asked if anything could be done to get rid of the peacocks.
Lizzy DeBolt: "They gave me a number, and every time I call this number, the lady tells me, 'There is nothing we can do about it.'"
Someone told her the birds were petrified of foxes, so…
Lizzy DeBolt: "We sprayed fox urine all the way around the place, and for two days it was OK. And then they came back again. Dude, I can't get rid of them."
One person suggested she poison them. Lizzy says she absolutely would never do that.
Lizzy DeBolt: "I love peacocks too, but not here."
Well, Howard, they are pretty, but also can be a pain, so can you do anything to get them out of your yard?
Howard Finkelstein: "The answer is yes, you can do a lot. They are considered non-native, meaning they are not protected. You can catch them and move them to a farm, but you cannot just dump them somewhere. You can contact an animal trapper and pay them to remove them, but you do not have to allow them to destroy your property or disrupt your life. You can get rid of them."
A trapper to remove all the peacocks could be expensive, so we called Cooper City and got some good news for Lizzy. We were told the city removed 20 peacocks a few years ago but couldn't catch three of them. The city manager told us if a property owner wants to get rid of the birds, they can catch them, and the city will pick up the birds and relocate them, or the homeowner can sign a waiver, and if the peacocks are on their property, the city will catch them and relocate them.
Lizzy DeBolt: "I will go and catch them myself."
Lizzy will now be able to get rid of the peacocks, meaning she can fix her screen, swim in her pool, and if she paints her car again, not have to worry about it getting scratched up each day.
Lizzy DeBolt: "I feel sorry for them, but not this. Sorry, it's costing me a fortune, it's costing me time."
Lizzy is now trying to trap the peacocks for the city. The birds are turning out to be smart. So far, they are not climbing in the coop. And in case you are wondering, when the birds are captured and handed over to a trapper, they are not hurt or killed, just sent to an animal preserve to live out their lives.
Colorful characters got you feeling trapped? Believe it's all for the birds? Contact us. We'll fly in and ruffle a few feathers for you.
