Australia will need to expand its aged care workforce to 1 million by 2050, but with rates on par with retail and hospitality workers, is the pay attractive?
Speaking in Melbourne on Friday, Aged Care Minister Ken Wyatt said the current aged care workforce will need to nearly triple from 366,000 to 1 million by 2050 in order to meet the future needs of Australia's ageing population.
In an address to the Committee for Economic Development of Australia he said, "I urge younger and older Australians to consider a future in aged care.
"The possibilities are numerous and expanding – from nursing, allied health, horticulture and administration, to robotics and IT – and the list goes on. But just as important are the rewards.
"I see the ageing sector providing not only a positive career, but also a privilege. To provide quality care to our elders can deliver enormous satisfaction."
Mr Wyatt noted that as of last year, the aged care workforce, headed by Professor John Pollaers, will focus on ensuring a strong supply or qualified, productive and professional staff to the aged care sector.
However, as it stands, and according to the latest aged care award, full-time aged care workers earn between $19.44 an hour for level one employees and $23.62 an hour for level seven employees, who are the highest in the table.
Weekly pay rates range between $738.80 and $897.40. Pay does increase with overtime, for shifts in which employees have not had at least 10 hours between shifts, and late night, afternoon or weekend shifts.
A level one employee has less than three months experience and works under routine or direct supervision. An employee in this category requires no previous training and could be a laundry hand, assistant gardener or food services assistant.
Jumping forward to level four employees (full-time hourly rate: $21.29), for personal care workers in this category a relevant certificate III qualification is required.
Level seven workers require developed administrative and problem solving skills and may require an advanced certificate or associate diploma level of qualification, among others.
In the hospitality industry, level one workers earn $18.81 an hour, while level six workers earn $23.23.
In the retail industry, level one employees earn $20.08, level seven workers are on par with aged care workers at $23.62 and level eight employees earn $24.57 an hour.
To Mr Wyatt, actively involving younger generations in the aged care workforce will be "key to the integration and transformation required" by Australia's growing needs.
He continued, relating the stories of two young aged care trainees, one of whom was living in a violent relationship, and the other living on the streets of Kings Cross.
"At his graduation [the young man from Kings Cross] said, 'I can't wait to wake up each day to go to work to see the 35 smiling faces, who share their stories with me'."
Continuing, Mr Wyatt said the young woman also happily accepted the opportunity for aged care experience, and removed herself from the violent relationship.
"Both graduated with flying colours. She went on to win two major HESTA awards for her work, and said it was the best decision she had ever made," the minister said.

I have been deeply impressed over the last few weeks by the quality and commitment of police officers in the North. This has not been true in all cases, and indeed on a couple of occasions the police failed to attend the meetings of the Divisional Secretariat Reconciliation Committees to which they had been invited. But on at least one occasion it turned out that the Divisional Secretary had not ensured that the invitation had been delivered, having entrusted the job to a Grama Niladhari who had far more important things to think about.
The police turned up promptly however the moment they were called, and it turned out too that, despite a poorly manned post, just one in Dharmapuram for the whole of the Kandaweli Division, they had dealt promptly with complaints, using the services of the larger station at Kilinochchi. Problems arose only because there was inadequate liaison between local officials and the police, and for this purpose it seemed best to maintain daily contact, with regular meetings once a week to discuss protection issues.
After all, according to their list of duties, Grama Niladharis are the first point of contact for the public when protection issues arise, and in the old days it is possible that the prestige of the postholders allowed them to settle many disputes without recourse to higher authority. In today's world however, much less obsequious to what should be moral authority, there is need of reinforcements, and the Grama Niladhari and the police should liaise closely, with the involvement also of the other protection mechanisms put in place by the state, Probation and Social Service Officers, Counsellors, and those concerned with Development of Women and Children.
In some areas this has proceeded apace. The Inspector acting for the officer in charge of the Nanattan Division, knew the area and its problems well, though the post could be helped by having more Tamil speaking officers. It would also make sense for the area it looks after to be coterminous with the Division, instead of its more populated area being the responsibility of Mannar, which already has a massive area to look after.
In Mannar itself our meeting was attended by three very smart young officers, one Tamil and two Sinhala, one male and two female, all bilingual. They had a very good grasp of issues, and could produce statistics when required, which helped with what turned out to be an erroneous assertion about rape. The young lady who made the assertion, who was in fact concerned and intelligent and drew attention to very real problems, defended her claim on the grounds that it had appeared in the newspapers, and citizens had after all to rely on papers for news. Fortunately the Divisional Secretary had the facts of the case at her fingertips, and was able to respond clearly, though I also hope that the Press Complaints Commission will take action to prevent such abuses of trust, which I fear the massive competition our dailies are engaged in renders almost endemic.
The result of our discussions was I hope a determination for much closer coordination. This has been one of the principal thrusts the Task Force I convene to ensure implementation of the National Human Rights Action Plan has made, since it was clear from our initial consultations that sometimes nothing happens because too many agencies are involved and they do not talk to each other.
Thus it was heartening that a couple of weeks back the Ministry of Rehabiliation and Prison Reforms brought together a group that needs to work together to reduce the numbers in remand and thus the propensity to ignore rights and entrench abuse. They were also going to have another meeting last week to go into the excellent suggestions in this regard made by the ICRC which the Minister of Justice shared with me. Government must decide which of these should be implemented, but even to make decisions coordination is required, and I had hoped too that the ICRC would be invited to the meeting to put forward proposals – with I hope offers of assistance for those government wished to advance – since clearly comprehensive discussion is required so that government can then develop its own roadmap with a fair idea of what can be done, as well as what should be done.
Unfortunately the meeting had to be postponed, and I hope it does not fall prey to the usual forgetfulness that overtakes us when action is required. I am the more worried about this since I shall have to be away with only brief intervals back home over the next month, and it would be a pity if the momentum we have generated splutters to a halt. To keep things going we need a stronger office and, though the young ladies who work in the Ministry of Plantation Industries have been superbly supportive, they will have over the next few weeks to concentrate on our Report for the Universal Periodic Review, and the consultations with Civil Society as well as government agencies working to promote Rights.
Most important of these last is the Police, and their ready involvement in consultations has been heartening. At the meeting on education they put forward very clearly the reasons for difficulties in recruiting Tamil speaking personnel to serve in areas which need them urgently. These have to do with deficiencies in basic education in those areas, and I hope therefore that the suggestions we have made about catch up mechanisms specifically for such purposes will be adopted. All this however requires coordination, for which more sustainable instruments than a Task Force are essential.

Susan Kirtley is associate professor of English and the director of PSU's Comics Studies program. This article originally appeared in the Mail Tribune.
Let's pretend - just for a minute, this won't take long - that someone adapted Susan Kirtley's professional life for a comic book.
In the first panel, the Medford native is huddled over a comic book on the Jefferson Elementary School playground. She isn't yet an associate professor of English and director of rhetoric and composition at Portland State University, she's just a kid with her nose buried in a book, carried away by the words and pictures that combine to tell a story.
In the second panel, some kid enters, makes a nasty comment or three about girls not reading comic books and walks off, laughing.
Now, real quick, skip to the end, past her graduation from South Medford High School in 1991 and her college years. On the final page, a smiling Kirtley, now a PSU professor, holds up an award.
"And so," the final text box reads. "Kirtley's love of comics paid off with an Eisner Award (one of the highest honors in the comics industry) for her book about comics artist Lynda Barry. 'Do what you love' is sage advice, it seems."
The end? Hardly. Issue No. 2 of Kirtley's journey is even better, the story of how she created a comic book studies program at Portland State. Approved in January 2015, the certificate program has already landed students jobs and internships in the industry, several with heavy hitters such as Dark Horse Comics and Oni Press.
"It's really exciting for me to see the students having a job in the field that they love," Kirtley says in a telephone interview.
Per Kirtley, the program rose from a "wonderful, perfect storm."
In 2013, she had just won the Eisner Award - think comics Oscar - for Best Educational Academic Work for her book "Lynda Barry: Girlhood Through The Looking Glass," which examined the life and works of the book's namesake, who wrote several illustrated novels and created the weekly comic strip "Ernie Pook's Comeek."
Following the win, Kirtley realized PSU was an ideal spot for a comic book studies program. Dark Horse Comics and Oni Press reside in Oregon, and Image Comics, publisher of popular titles such as "Spawn," "The Walking Dead" and "Saga," will soon call the state home. Writers and artists such as Brian Michael Bendis (Marvel's "Ultimate Spider-Man") and David Walker (DC's "Cyborg") also live in Portland.
"There are only a few comics programs in colleges," Kirtley says. "Most of them either focus on comics creation exclusively, or on scholarly perspective. I thought it would be great to do both."
Kirtley went to PSU faculty with a proposal, they got on board, and the program was born. It's a mixed bag of theory and application, Kirtley says; plenty of reading, but plenty of hands-on stuff, too. Authors, illustrators and other industry professionals make regular appearances in classes.
Many students had been hungering for such an environment, Kirtley adds. She gets that. As a lifelong comics fan, she never got to discuss the medium she loved in a structured way.
"I read comics, but I didn't have the opportunity to share it with people or study it in school," she says. "To have the opportunity to study them and talk about them and work in an environment supportive of that ... the students have been incredibly receptive."
Current class offerings include comics history, writing comics, introduction to book publishing, typography, layout and production, mixed media, and the philosophy of art, according to the program website, www.pdx.edu/comics-studies/program.
Looking ahead, issue No. 3 of Kirtley's story arc includes two new book projects. One is about female-created newspaper comic strips from about 1970 to 2010, and the other is a collaboration with a Stanford professor and a Los Angeles K-12 teacher about using comics as teaching tools. Like any successful comic book story, Kirtley's still has a lot of momentum.
"That girl on the playground at Jefferson could never have imagined a career trajectory like this. I'm so very lucky," she says. "I tell the kids, 'If you have a passion for something, don't give it up because someone tells you it's nerdy or silly. It's the best thing.' "

I am no fan of either. I think they're both talentless hacks. But I do happen to think that Kim Kardashian has one of the prettiest faces ( granted she has a fat as, which black men like). But asthetically Kanye West is not very handsome to me and not very overall desirable. So why do beautiful women like Beyonce and K Kardashian go for these ugly rappers. I mean if I was a beautiful woman like them with money and power I would be fucking very fine muscle bound stud I could get my hands on, rich or poor. I don't know, as a gay man it just seems like a waste to waste such potentially hot, great sex with these ugly guys. What do you guys think?

In San Francisco at the DNA Lounge, Fishnet Follies is presenting, COMIC STRIP! in conjunction with The Ball of Justice, which is presented by Swing Goth.
I know Mynx d'Meanor and her Fishnet Follies presented previous versions of COMIC STRIP! in San Diego at the same times as Comic-Cons. But this year they've teamed up with Swing Goth for what is sure to be the must-see event of Friday night in the City.
Your favorite Bay Area burlesque performers, such as Bunny Pistol, Kiss Me Kate, Casey Castille, Lady Satan, Flame Cynders (Fishnet Follies co-producer) and Mynx herself, will be in costume as some of your favorite comics characters. The burlesque show will be at approximately 11pm.
Before and after, there will be live music from Grammy-nominated surf rockers Los Straitjackets and futuristic sci-fi band The Phenomenauts! Plus there will be music from DJs Melting Girl (Death Guild and 1984), Skip (New Wave City), Shatter (Bondage-a-Go-Go), and MzSamantha (Clockwork). Early in the evening, there will be dance lessons provided by Swing Goth!
Judging by the response to the Ball of Justice Facebook event page, this looks like it'll be a very popular show. It's unique, and it sounds very fun! Mynx and Flame have worked very hard on Fishnet Follies' second show in the Bay Area, and Brian Gardner of Swing Goth has done a terrific job putting together the bands, DJs, and handling everything else!

... Inscribed on a Balinese river stone, I simply had to buy it!
I must admit I felt like a tourist, a groupie, hm ... a child of the universe ... as we crossed over from Pennsylvania into New Jersey's Frenchtown, in search for Two Buttons, the store of Jose and Liz. As in Elizabeth Gilbert author of Eat, Pray, Love, and Felipe, her Brazilian lover (now husband, Jose Nunes).
After an easy drive from our Mount Airy home in Philadelphia, along the banks of the Delaware River, on a glorious ending-of-summer-day, at the edge of Frenchtown, New Jersey, we discovered the sprawling warehouse, Two Buttons:
We wandered in and found ourselves transported to a "world of wonders." As described on their web-page, the store is full of "beautiful objects from hidden corners of the world." And as we walked through, we found the rooms opening and extending further and further, each filled with more and more beautiful objects.
We bought a number of different items:
I started with a much needed boundary statue: "Boundaries and Boundary-markers are very important in Indonesian life and culture. Often used to literally mark land boundaries, these statues are also used to protect ones emotional boundaries as well. Carved out of lava rock from the island of Sulawasi, these wonderful individually unique statues help to support and protect your boundaries. Haven't we all had times when our boundaries needed a little support?"
And proceeded to some bracelets and a japa mala:
I even found a beautifully carved wooden hand to hold my rings when I sleep or garden!
But then, life partner became serious. He found ...
... a large wooden elephant for our library ...
... an iguana carved from teak to hide between some plants on our sun porch ...
... and a large picture of the Buddha's face for one section of the living room.
We were so excited, and paid for our purchases while Winston kindly helped to load them into the car - but as we were exiting, we noticed a tall, serene Buddha standing by the front door. Life partner said, "Wouldn't that look good by our front door?" I gasped with joy and almost clapped my hands together like a small child. "Yes of course," I said breathlessly. So back we went and bought that too!
That meant moving things around in the car to help the statue fit in comfortably, and we set off into Frenchtown to find a place for lunch. The day was bright and clear, sun shining brilliantly and people were out and about - a feeling of end of summer panic in the air. Time for the last few moments of fun before school starts again, and with that, fall's routine hum-drum of work, work, work settles in again. Ah, the cycle of life!
Just as we were walking through the town searching for the right eating spot, I gasped out loud,"Oh dear, I forgot to take a photograph of the huge, white Buddha at the entrance to the store!" Life partner comforted me at once, "After lunch we'll go back on our way and I'll take a picture of you standing by the Buddha." "No need for tourist pictures," I replied with a laugh, "It was bad enough that I bought a river stone with Attraversiamo inscribed on it! How embarrassing is that! Don't tell anyone I did that, for goodness sake. Have I become an Eat, Pray, Love groupie?"
And so, after lunch we wandered back to Two Buttons. I was excited to see it again. I ran out to take a picture of the Buddha at the entrance to the store:
As I was returning to the car, Life partner noticed two tall urns standing in the sun. Whitish-yellow, delicately carved, standing on two pedestals. We drew in closely to look at them. I was thinking of the urn for our dining room. Although not pale green or porcelain, this looked much like the shape of the vase I had dreamed about recently. We were commenting to each other in amazement at how inexpensive the urns were, when a man about our age came out to tell us they were from Vietnam, made of marble, and were inexpensive probably because they might have been broken and repaired at some stage. After agreeing that we could buy just one, he worked laboriously to tip up the urn and pour out all the rain water that had gathered inside over the past days or weeks. It looked extremely heavy, and I worried about him straining his back.
As we talked together I started to realise that this man was, in fact, Jose Nunes, Elizabeth Gilbert's husband. I smiled and laughed, exclaiming, "Ah, so you are Javier Bardem!" Jose smiled in return and said something about Javier being a "very jazzed-up version" of him! As we entered the store through the back in order to purchase the marble urn, Jose said that Liz was inside if we wanted to meet her. I was thrilled. "I wonder if she wouldn't mind signing a copy of my book?" I asked a little sheepishly, since I had put my copy in the car before we left home ... you know, just in case. "Of course!" Jose replied kindly. Come on in!
Before we knew it, we were right back inside, amidst the beauty and wonder of Buddhas and trinkets, scarves, and beads, statues and carvings - on and on and on. Did I just hear Jose call out to Liz, "Darling ... " as he summoned her to meet us? And there she was, extending her hand, smiling and greeting us emanating a relaxed and contented energy. She was quite happy to sign my book ...
... and as she did, Jose poured us little paper cups of wine. I had a chance to relate to Liz that I had finished reading the book only two days prior to this trip, since I saw the movie first, and then read the book. I thanked her because the section written about India and the ashram seemed to have brought me back to yoga again in a deeper more fulfilling way. Winston and Jose loaded the precious, marble urn into our car, after once again we adjusted all our items to make room for the third and last purchase.
And off we went - back home. Only one more stop for ice-cream on the way, but I really could not wait to put everything in their places ... but, especially, the urn.
... and so ...
... as everything was put into place ...
... life partner and I toasted each other with a glass of wine, and allowed all the beauty and joy of Two Buttons to bless our new home. Somehow, I feel, we will be back there again ... and again ...

Hello, November!
Wednesday, November 01, 2017
I tore the October page of our calendar this morning and realized we're down to the last two months of the year. Gosh time flies so fast, too fast even. I wanted to panic as I think of the things I need to do, but instead I breathed deeply, looked at these mini Christmas trees and tried to keep my calm.
We started repainting and renovating the rooms at home. I think the smaller room just needs one final coat of paint and we can already install the new drop light we bought as well as the curtains. This room used to be our stock room when my siblings and I were all overseas. I'll transfer all my stuff next week and have this as my own room, and my mom's whenever she's here in Manila. I still dream of getting a new place but I guess this will have to wait.
Some random stuff:
We had our Halloween celebration last week at work and this was our floor's decor.
Bridesmaid Duties. Cooking and baking 101 with my good friend and bride-to-be Joy. We made chicken adobo, Bicol express and plain cheesecake with blueberry topping :)
Currently reading this devo from my bff, and just finished "When Breath Becomes Air". It tore my heart into pieces. (...and that bottle of Cerave saves my skin from flaking especially in the office where the AC is freezing!)

New opportunities for pupils start today
Published on 31/10/16
Pupils at Cobholm Primary will have even more opportunities to develop their skills and to try new experiences thanks to our new extended day.
From today we have a slightly longer school day for older pupils, which enables us to give additional support to our pupils in key areas like reading, writing, and mathematics, as well as offering enrichment activities that mean our pupils can try out new experiences.
For children in Key Stage 1, the school day ends at 3.15pm.
For children in Key Stage 2, the school days ends at 3.45pm, including a prep session after normal lessons.
We also run optional enrichment sessions between 3.45pm and 4.45pm.
For families with children in both Key Stage 1 and 2 we can look after younger children until 4.45pm so that parents can have a single collection time for going home.

My poor brain is suffering from this stay-at-home-mom business. Don't get me wrong, I love it. I love cuddling Amelia and feeding her, and cleaning her, and washing her, and putting her to sleep, and planning my day around her feeds and un-planning my day because of her feeds… It's just that I was so used to being analytical for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week – and now the most challenging thing is to balance her on one shoulder while I get the chicken out of the freezer.
So I got a new hobby by accident. I nitpick. Not on purpose mind you, just per chance. I just phoned Nestlé now because of the info on their smarties box (didn't know Nestlé made smarties, so now I also learned something). On the box is this little clipart of a supposed Aussie with some facts on Australia. The box says that the capital of Australia is Sydney. So I phone them and a nice lady answer, I tell her the capital of Australia is Canberra. She tells me that they are aware of the misleading factoid (not her actual words 😉 ); so she takes my details to acknowledge my call. Bugger. I wanted a year's free supply of smarties. Maybe next time.
The other thing I saw is a bit more serious. On Friday past (10 October '08) I was channel hopping. Takalani Sesami was on SABC2 (that' the South African version of Sesame Street). There was a scene that took place in a Dr's office. On the wall behind the puppets was en eye chart with white on black text. The first 2 lines read O and MG, then WTF, then STFU. I couldn't believe my eyes – yes, the cliché rings true – I blinked and blinked, but kept on seeing those familiar abbreviations.
I emailed a complaint to the BCCSA on Monday. I had a response within half an hour – am impressed. The email read that they would take it up with the SABC and would forward me any progress that they make. I haven't heard anything yet, but the website says they handle everything within 30 days… or something along those lines.
On a lighter note, Huggies sent me free samples. I phoned them up and said that I was interested in buying Huggies nappies from now on, but would like to try before I buy – I find the Pampers nappies a bit 'hard'. So they sent me 3 Huggies Gold #2 nappies and a sample 8 pack of wipes. I LOOOOVE the wipes. Thing is that I don't understand why wipes (and toilet paper and kitchen towel) need pictures and embossing on them. All I'm going to do is wipe my baby's dirty bottom and throw it away. I can buy a great product for a lot less just because it's plain. Still, I got some excellent freebies 😀
Will keep you posted on the other two follow ups.

Litigation arising from employee misconduct prices employers billions of dollars yearly. You recognize why you don't get a lot of people like me from Australia on your web site? As a result of I am representating them ALL. They are TOO DAMN SICK to BLOG. I've been prepared to talk to the media for a very long time. I have emailed the media right here in Melbourne for 2 years, no one seems fascinated. But as I mentioned in some posts final night time I do have a name, telephone number of the producer on the ABC radio who is aware of about me, MRF and the disease. Oh please go forward and google my title and surname for the ones who know me, I've already accomplished that right now – LIES you are all LIARS – just come and ask US ALL.
Not read the feedback (too many and cannot be arsed) but from feedback right here I take it people are being hypocritical about it and saying it is okay because it is WordPress. I find that very funny to be trustworthy, and shows how stupid some people are. Ppy, nobody denies you are sick. No one thinks all of your symptoms are the results of delusions. The debate here is whether there is a distinct illness shared by a lot of people who claim to have Morgellons, and whether fibers are linked to any disease.
Safety is a key business idea that's outlined by Merriam-Webster as the situation of being safe from present process or inflicting hurt, harm, or lossâ€. 21 Accidents value companies billions of dollars annually. 22 Studies have proven how company acceptance and implementation of complete safety and well being management methods reduces incidents, insurance coverage prices and employees' compensation claims. 23 New technologies, like wearable security devices 24 and out there online security coaching, continue to be developed to encourage employers to invest in protection past the " canary within the coalmine " and reduce the cost to companies of defending their employees.
Researchers collected data for posts to focused Fb pages made June 18-July 2, 2014, a two-week window along with only a few days earlier than and after the 5-day purpose time of June 23-27, when the content materials analysis portion of the research was performed. Microsoft 365 Enterprise brings together features from across Microsoft's choices in a solution designed for small and medium-sized companies.

Hey Texastar – seems like you may have a beef with me. Should you do please take it to emails so the professional people right here can continue with the subject of this tread. my email handle is: [email protected] – electronic mail any beef you could have with me – will reply if I want too. We help make the transition to accepting chip-enabled playing cards (additionally called EMV ) as seamless as attainable while businesses throughout the US prepare for the fraud liability shift with the EMV-compliant terminals. First let me pause for a second to say, once more, that I feel persons are really sick. They have actual symptoms, they may have a wide range of problems, they want therapies. What is under debate right here is that if people all have the identical illness, and if Morgellons†is a new disease.

VANCOUVER, Wash. — A man who police say confessed to the brutal murder of his own grandmother in Washougal appeared in court Tuesday morning.
A Clark County judge set bail for Benjamin Walker, 27, at $1 million. According to a probable cause affidavit, Walker brutally killed his grandmother, 78-year-old Joan Walker, first choking her in bed as she was sleeping then, when he wasn't sure if she was dead, coming back with a kitchen knife and cutting her throat.
Police said Benjamin Walker even described part of the attack by making a cutting motion on his own throat as part of a confession he gave them Monday.
Benjamin Walker wore a suicide smock in court Tuesday, and his court-appointed attorney told FOX 12 his client was remorseful over the death of his grandmother.
"Well, he's remorseful, he's sad," attorney Jeff Sowder said. "If you take the probable cause statement at face value, he turned himself in."
According to court documents, Benjamin Walker killed his grandmother Monday morning before apparently walking to the Washougal Police Department to make his confession.
When police officers went to the house on H Street where he lived with his parents and his grandmother, they found the body of Joan Walker. Benjamin Walker's parents were also in the home at the time and didn't even know that Joan Walker was dead, according to court documents.
Court documents report that Benjamin Walker drank a six pack of beer Monday morning before he killed his grandmother.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Benjamin Walker told officers he was mad at his grandmother over requests for him to turn off the lights in her home and her complaints that he used too much water when he showered.
The affidavit also notes that Benjamin Walker had some scratches near his mouth and on his chin, which police believe are from his grandmother when she tried to fight back.
Prosecutors called the killing premeditated, while Benjamin Walker's attorney said he may ask for his client's confession to be suppressed. He also asked a judge to order that the grandmother's body not be buried or cremated until he could have his own pathologist look at the body.
The judge agreed with that request, until at least 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, when both sides will be back in court to argue that motion.

Last week on Fossil Friday, I suggested that the fossil in question might come from a grazer that once pranced across what is now Nevada. What was it? Well, it came from the antilocapridae family.
From the University of Texas:
"The family is endemic to North America, with one living species (Antilocapra americana). However, its fossil record is relatively rich from the Miocene until the end of the Pleistocene when several genera became extinct.
Although sometimes placed in the Bovidae, current practice by most is to keep the Pronghorn in its own family. They share with the bovids the possession of non-deciduous horn cores of bone that are covered by the keratinous horn in life; they differ from all bovids, however, in that the horn sheath is deciduous and branched. The living Pronghorn is exquisitely adapted for cursorial life, including highly successful respiratory and circulatory systems that allows long-distant rapid locomotion. The Pronghorn is considered to be North America's fastest terrestrial mammal. The morphological characters of the extinct Pleistocene forms show osteological adaptations mostly similar to those of the Pronghorn. Molars are highly hypsodont in our representatives, although the modern Pronghorn is not primarily a grazer."
Thanks to those who played this week. Stay tuned for more fossil fun this Friday!

In the November of 1621, Edward Winslow, the former Governor of the Plymouth Colony, penned, in what would become the classic early American account, Mourt's Relation: "Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling (an archaic term for bird and game hunting), that so we might after a special manner rejoice together, after we had gathered the fruits of our labor."
With these humble words, Winslow gave us the first, firsthand account of Thanksgiving, a day of reverence for and celebration of a beautiful and brutal North America and its seemingly endless bounty. These pioneers were simply thankful to be alive and that first feast represents the first breakthrough in our collective and ongoing attempts to better understand our homeland.
As a national holiday, Thanksgiving got off to a rough start. Proclamations meant to establish an annual day of thanks from presidents Washington through Madison (though curiously not Jefferson) fell on deaf ears. It wasn't until Lincoln, courtesy of an aggressive letter writing campaign by New Hampshire writer Sarah Hale, that Thanksgiving became a national holiday albeit amidst America's most divisive period, the Civil War.
And since Lincoln, the history of Thanksgiving has continued much along the same lines as America's: dates have been shifted, faces have changed, traditions have been added, traditions have been lost. Yet also like America, the spirit of Thanksgiving has remained the same, a spirit epitomized by the handsome abundance of the Pilgrim's original menu: fish, ducks, geese, turkey, beans, squash, maize, pumpkin, berries, lobster, mussels, clams and what historians believe to be the true star of that first feast—venison. Looking at it now, it was a table of America surrounded by Americans. In this respect, little has changed since 1621. Hunters still walk the woods, they still return with a harvest to thankful relations and Americans rejoice what is truly worthy of thanks: food, family and harmony.
In honor of this, Guns.com would like to wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving.

I used to post on here at least once a week and now it's only about once a month or every few weeks. My life isn't even too busy, I just can't seem to remember to come on here and post.
I'm going to try to catch all of you up on the happenings of my life the past month.
If you remember I decided to make my blog about my weightloss journey and divorce. Yes, the big D word. Yikes!
I have just realized that alot of people and friends of mine are going through this and if I can at least help one person through this blog I will feel good.
For starters I will talk about month 4 after divorce.
- I haven't cried anymore which is a blessing. It used to be that when a song came up or someone asked where my husband was I would instantly start crying.
- I don't blame the female anymore which is another blessing. I never thought that day would come because I still have anger for the first female he was with 4.5 years ago and we weren't even married yet.
- J is still going through separation anxiety. He is fine until his Daddy goes a few days or weeks without calling and then he will start biting himself and we start from square one all over again. But I will say that he's alot less aggressive so it IS getting better!!! Poor guy :(
- The thought of being alone forever has almost fully left my mind. Alot of people laugh at that but when someone you loved walks out on you and your child you start to have doubts especially since most guys are looking for someone without a kid and someone that hasn't been married.
- I had an ah-ha moment lastnight! Love them! Lol. I was driving and a car passed me with a couple that had their arms around eachother, made me lose my breath for a moment and then I said out loud "Kaycee, God is preparing someone right now for you and your son and it will be more than you can imagine...it's worth the wait!" I love when God speaks to me through myself haha.
- I have had to change the term "My ex husband" into "J's Daddy" so that I always remember to do what's best for our son and so I don't put anger into whatever I'm saying. It actually helps alot and is helping me to learn to be civil with him no matter what he does to me. Be Christ-like.
- I got 2 babysitting jobs!!!! Two families found my info online and contacted me. My first set of income in 3 years besides Partylite!! I pick one child up from school and drop him off at home, and the other is an 8 month old that I just watch a few days a week! I love being around an infant again! Small jobs but at least it's a start and better than nothing! When your in a position where you were left with nothing and have to provide for you and your son, anything helps and I'm proud of myself.
Now on to the weightloss
Booooo!!! Hahaha it's been a struggle! I was on the biggest loser diet but then I went to dfw for a week and gained 4 lbs while there. That's terrible!!!! So I got back and jumped on the veggie/meat diet and lose quickly. I lost 3 lbs so far and have also decided to start the C25K program! Have any of you started that and if so what have your results been?!? I want to lose weight and also end up loving running! Today will be my 2nd day of starting! Once I lose a good amount I will jump back on the Biggest Loser diet to continue eating healthy meals. Now that I know I won't be having any more kids for awhile this is my time to be getting into shape and looking good for my future prince charming ;)

I have a car equipped with RMC, no green menu, no chance to get the control of the ambiente light from the console. However, the level can be adjusted using VCDS. Then the security code is needed to do the adaptation.
How can I get this code for my car? Or maybe somebody already found out how to get the control option to RMC console?

Spain-based food company Cerealto has closed the acquisition of Italian pasta maker Pastificio Mediterranea for an undisclosed price.
The acquisition, which was completed following an approval from Concordato de Alessandria, also includes Pastificio Mediterranea's pasta factory located in Silvano D'Orba in the Italian province of Alessandria.
Cerealto has also purchased the machinery and production lines of Pastificio Mediterranea under the deal.
Under a lease agreement, the Spanish company had been operating Pastificio Mediterranea since 2013 and had recently exercised its option to purchase the pasta maker.
Cerealto stated: "This event fits in with Cerealto's strategy of international expansion in southern Europe, which was supported by the recent purchases of the bread factory in Antequeta (Málaga, Spain), the pastries factory in Briviesca (Burgos, Spain) and the biscuits factory in Mem Martins (Sintra, Portugal)."
Under the acquisition terms, the Spanish multinational company will retain all the 63 co-workers at the factory besides ensuring the same working conditions and honour their existing length of service.
In compliance with its sustainability policy, Cerealto will give preference to Pastificio Mediterranea's local suppliers.
The Silvano D'Orba factory currently manufactures around 70 varieties of pastas like organic and wholemeal. The pastas are all prepared from different kinds of Italian semolina and also by using ingredients like kamut, spelt and chickpeas.
Cerealto also stated that there will be no change in its manufacturing plans for clients' brands and also in the distribution of its own brands Moccagatta and Pastificio Mediterranea.
The Spanish company currently supplies Italian-made pasta to its customers primarily in Italy, France, Austria, Mexico, the US along with certain countries in Asia and Africa.
In May, Cerealto had agreed to acquire two factories from Spain-based Grupo Siro to expand its business further in Southern Europe. While one factory produces sliced bread, the other one produces pastries.

Four Religions1960
This film is only available for a limited amount of time.
Time Left
Underscoring a basic unity of the four major world religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity), this National Film Board of Canada project deems each a "higher" religion, "something that inspires man to love, to seek the meaning and the purpose of life." Interspersed with a stimulating discussion between the host, filmmaker, series producer and National Film Board co-founder James Beveridge and the great historian Arnold Toynbee, the film touches on the commonalities and distinctions between (as well as the enduring significance of) these world religions, emphasizing, as Toynbee says, that whatever one's own religious beliefs, "each of us, for his own personal life, can't afford to neglect any of the others." In the context of the today's increasingly polarized worldviews and talk of clashing civilizations, this turns out to be a rather contemporary and progressive conversation. - Robert Avila

"…it is reasonable to assume that boxers fight one another
because the legitimate objects of their anger are not accessible
to them…You fight what's nearest, what's available,
what's ready to fight you…" (On Boxing, by Joyce Carol Oates)
Pain spills its coin into my strongbox.
I plunge gloved hands wrist deep,
the weight like shackles, like fucking.
I hit the ropes, and they hit back,
raising welts in blood-swollen furrows.
The bell, the hecklers, infuriate
like hurled gravel, abrade like road burn.
Tomorrow, I will feel everything more,
my body blooming bruises. I punch,
but don't hate who I hit, instead, hating
beyond him, everything that isn't me,
my hand raised, staggering but standing,
applause streaming like sweat, everyone
stinking: the watchers, contenders, backers,
even the bigshots, who don't give a damn.
Ganglia pull like stretched taffy, a blown seed head,
anemone-tongued, a color wheel metastasis, a labile
meadow moil, coolness bezeled in grey-sheathed
moon tone, all frozen as if the light had been flicked
mid-scandal, or the choreographer said, stop now, all
heeding, all caught up in the held breath of and?
(after Frantisek Muzika's paining "Framasphere," 1949)

The magazine in the grocery store checkout line had an article about how to use makeup to de-emphasize a big nose. Barbara glanced at it briefly and the idea crossed her mind, but she didn't have time for this. She had a cranky 4-year-old in tow and she wanted to hurry home. She paid for her items, put the change in the red Salvation Army kettle, and packed the little one in the minivan for the short trip home. After another perfect dinner they snuggled up on the sofa for some story time. As she tucked her little one into bed she was overwhelmed by the pure and innocent love , and the words in the magazine no longer mattered.
Barbara is available in-world.

Amway India, the country's largest Direct Selling FMCG company celebrated 209th birth anniversary of Louis Braille with its 15 NGO partners for ninth consecutive year by organizing myriad initiatives. In Gurugram, Amway inaugurated the refurbished computer training center for the visually impaired by upgrading equipment and accessories. This computer center was set up in 2010 as a part of Amway's National Project for the visually impaired under which Amway supports 15 computer centres across the country benefitting more than 1,000 visually impaired students every year.
As a part of the celebrations, a special cultural programme was organized which included group and solo dance performances, followed by Braille reading by the students of AICB. The event witnessed an active participation of Amway direct sellers and employees.
Mr. GS Cheema, Sr. Vice President – North & South, Amway India, said, "We have been working tirelessly towards the welfare of the visually impaired with a firm belief that education is the key to the future that create opportunities transcending physical limitations. We hope that our support will inspire the students of AICB Capt. Chandanlal Special School to excel in different aspects of life and showcase their talent in different forums."
"I wholeheartedly thank Amway India for revamping the Computer Training Centre for our students and celebrating the birth anniversary of Louis Braille by organizing cultural activities. It has been our endeavour to ensure that our young students are provided with multiple opportunities to succeed in life. With support of Amway, we have been able to offer these facilities to our students" commented Sh. JL Kaul, All India Confederation of the Blind.
Louis Braille invented the Braille system to enable visually impaired people to read and write. World Braille Day is celebrated annually on January 4, the birthday of Louis Braille, to recognize his contributions in helping visually impaired people to remain part of mainstream society by reading and writing as a normal person.

Most people reading this article have seen how to document a formula with the N function. Here is an example.
=SUM(A1:A3)+N("This formula sums the first 3 values in Column A")
The technique presented here uses a similar concept (the result is not affected by the additional formula).
However, instead of documenting the formula, it adds the ability to provide an audio result each time the formula is recalculated. I am sure that the use of this UDF will find wide usage throughout the Excel community.
Here is the VBA Function code for doing this. Make sure to add the Microsoft Speech Object Library (sapi.dll version) under Tools, Reference for this to work.
Function GiveVocalResult(Optional Person As String = "Him", Optional bVolatile As Boolean = False, _
Optional Rate As Long = 1, Optional Volume As Long = 60)
Dim Voc As SpeechLib.SpVoice
Set Voc = New SpVoice
Dim sAddress As String
Application.Volatile bVolatile
With Voc
If Person = "Him" Then
Set .voice = .GetVoices.Item(0) 'male
ElseIf Person = "Her" Then
Set .voice = .GetVoices.Item(1) 'female
End If
.Rate = Rate
.Volume = Volume
sAddress = Application.Caller.Address
rResult = Evaluate(Mid(Range(sAddress).Formula, 1, InStr(1, Range(sAddress).Formula, "&Give") – 1))
.Speak rResult
End With
End Function
After numerous attempts to create the desired UDF, I finally came up with a solution. It is based on these two line of VBA code.
sAddress = Application.Caller.Address
rResult = Evaluate(Mid(Range(sAddress).Formula, 1, InStr(1, Range(sAddress).Formula, "&Give") – 1))
Obtaining the address containing the formula proved to be the right path. The use of the caller address in the Evaluate function afforded the result of the "first" formula. There are two examples that illustrate the use of the GiveVocalResult UDF. Note that all of the arguments of the function are optional.
In the first example, shown in the following figure, a formula that looks for the second largest value in a range "reads" the result in a female voice.
In D1 =LARGE(A1:A10,2)&GiveVocalResult("Her")
When values are changed in the range A1:A10, the result of the formula is vocalized. The use of "Her" in the first function argument changed the default value of Him to Her.
In the second example, the value in cell C2 is set by using a data validation drop down list. When changed, the formula in D2 (=C2&GiveVocalResult()) reads the result in a male voice.
The last 3 arguments in the function are all set with default values. bVolatile is set to False, Rate is set to 1 (can vary between -10 to 10, and Volume is set to 60 (can vary from 0 to 100). Experiment with the settings and enjoy.
Because of what I consider to be a groundbreaking technique, please reference my web site when you use it.
The example file can be downloaded here.

Stay Connected On A Road Trip
One of my favorite things to do is take a good old fashioned American road trip. Sure road trips are fun in other countries, but it just doesn't feel the same.
Over the past few years internet has become essential to my existence, meaning it is hard to stay disconnected for any length of time because of my business. Of course I do advocate pulling the plug every once in awhile. It can be freeing.
With technology improving, it has become easier to get internet access while on the road, but it still isn't always easy to get a connection. Here are a few of the tools I use when on the road.
Phone Tethering on a Road Trip
If you own a smartphone then there is a good chance that you can use the phone's internet access on other devices by tethering. Most of the major carriers have a tethering plan where you pay, however there are usually ways to get this for free.
Each carrier is different, but there are apps that you can download to enable tethering without having to pay. I recommend Googling for a solution, however be careful when tethering that you don't suck up all of your data. Make sure that you don't do a lot of video streaming or large file downloads since that will almost ensure you pass your data limit in record time.
Free Mobile Hotspot
Most of the major carriers also have mobile hotspots you can purchase and use with a monthly fee. I don't like paying for things I don't use all of the time, so that doesn't work for me.
Fortunately there is a company called FreedomPop which uses Sprint's 4G network and offers a hotspot service for free. They give 500MB of free data per month with no strings attached. (You can pay to have more data included with your plan.) This works perfectly for me since I only use it in an emergency.
Additionally since my phone is T-Mobile and FreedomPop uses the Sprint network, I can usually get a signal on one device when the other isn't working. Right now FreedomPop is offering their mobile hotspot device for free with free shipping.
Slickdeals has all of the details. I recommend reading the Slickdeals wiki carefully as they opt you in to a paid plan, however you can easily downgrade on their website to a free plan in about 30 seconds. In the end you pay $0 for the device and $0 for the service. Just the way I like it!
Free Wi-Fi
If the first two options don't work then you can always go to a business that has free wi-fi. Starbucks and Panera are two popular options, however my favorite go to place is McDonald's.
The main reason I like McDonald's is that they are usually located right off of highways, they all have free wi-fi and drinks are only $1. This means I don't have to spend a lot to get their wi-fi which is usually very fast. 90% of McDonalds restaurants around the country have recently been renovated as well, meaning that they are surprisingly comfortable.
These days there really is no reason that you have to stay offline for any long period of time. Hopefully these suggestions give you an idea of how you can break free of the office and enjoy the freedom that the road has to offer. Hitting the road no longer means you have to ignore work or your responsiblities at home!

Head on to Embassy House for some of the most attractively priced and well-situated residences for sale in downtown Sarasota. This condominium is located at 770 South Palm Avenue, right on the southern terminus of the classy Marina Row stretching over ½ a mile off Bayfront Drive.
Embassy House was built in 1974 but recent upgrades make it comparable with Sarasota residences of more recent vintage. This property was meticulously developed to take full advantage of its coveted bayside location. Constructed with a total of 17 floors, it remains as one of the 20 tallest buildings in Sarasota.
Given this, its high-rise condos are thus provided with the breathtaking waterfront panorama of Sarasota Bay, Ringling Bridge, the marina and Bayfront Park. The vista and ambiance provided by the condominium's neighboring Marie Selby Gardens are as mesmerizing as well.
Attractively Priced Condos
Embassy House is composed of sixty-eight condos. Many of these have been stylishly remodeled for a more contemporary character and visual appeal. Added charm is likewise provided by the recent Embassy House upgrades which include new flooring in the condominium's common areas.
The residences for sale at Embassy House range between 1,272 square feet and 2,568 square feet designed with two to three bedrooms. In 2016, their pricing hovered at the $600s and $700s, remarkably attractive considering this condominium's walkable bayfront location, exquisite features and superb amenities.
The facilities at Embassy House, which is a 24-hour secured building, include a fitness center and heated pool. Each residence in this property has an assigned garage parking spot, and open parking is available as well.
Rentals Are OK
Maintaining a residence as a vacation rental is allowed at Embassy House. Its residences are rentable for a minimum of three months four times a year.
Proximity to downtown Sarasota's delightful points of interest makes Embassy House ideal as a seasonal residence with income-generating potential as a vacation rental residence. This condominium is within walking distance to the city core teeming with venues for life and leisure activities.
One of these is the popular art walk held each first Friday of the month at Palm Avenue. The nearby Bayfront Park and Marina Jack are two other favored destinations by both locals and visitors alike. Downtown shops and boutiques are also plentiful around Embassy House which should be a hands-down favorite in searches of downtown residences for sale in Sarasota.
Sorry we are experiencing system issues. Please try again.
