Guide Dogs SA [1] is one of seventy South Australian charities to receive a share of more than $300,000 in Beyond Bank's annual Community Rewards.
The money is made available through a unique savings account that allows people to nominate a community group to receive an annual donation.
It's a really innovative way to fundraise that doesn't cost you anything but makes a real difference to the bottom line of not for profit organisations.
In the 13 years since the account's inception, we've distributed close to $2 million across its national network.
We received this "thank you" message from our great friends at Guide Dogs SA:
Guide Dogs SA is touched by the generosity of the community and Beyond Bank in contributing $8,593 through the Community Awards accounts.
Guide Dogs SA through its services provides independence, safety and inclusion to people living with disability.
It costs more than $30,000 to raise and train a Guide Dog, and the organisation relies on the generosity of the community for support.
Through the Community Rewards Accounts, South Australians and Beyond Bank are ensuring we build a caring community – it's one of the reasons we choose to live and work in South Australia.
We care for each other.
So, think about opening a Community Reward Account [2], choose your favourite charity or community group and start saving. It's a great way to contribute to your community and really is the other way to bank.

With Spider-Man: Homecoming coming in July of 2017, people are speculating over who will be joining the crew. One of these people in question is actor Michael Keaton. Although, it's not a firm confirmation, Jon Watts, the Filmmaker, has given us hope! With a fist pump and mouthing the word yes on his twitter feed.
— Jon Watts (@jnwtts) May 20, 2016
We know Michael Keaton is no armature when it comes to Superhero movies as he has starred in both Batman and Birdman and did a brilliant job. Here's hoping he makes an awesome appearance in Spider-Man and that Watts gives us a solid confirmation! Let us know what you think in the comments.

Even before the first batch of Cola Bear-y cakes had finished cooking, I was having visions about a cherry-cola version. Probably because I had a big bag of Haribo sour cherries pleading at me not to be eaten for breakfast.
These are using the same recipe as the Cola Bear-y cakes, except using the cherry soda stream syrup for the buttercream instead. I was also lucky enough to stumble across some cherry cola flavoured popping candy (at which point any one would be convinced it was my destiny to bake these cakes!) to sprinkle on the top before using the aforementioned sour cherry sweets as toppers.
This time I used a wilton 1M nozzle for the frosting. The syrup naturally colours the frosting the light brown, and I painted a strip of red gel food colouring in the piping bag to get the cherry stripe running through it.
And I added a straw again, just so Big Bear wouldn't eat them. All the more for me!!

A 36 year-old man was air lifted to St George's Hospital in Tooting after police were called to a stabbing incident at a flat in Heathside Crescent on Friday.
At around 11am on 26 August, officers found a 16 year-old male with cuts to his hand and a 36 year-old with stab wounds to his abdomen at the Woking address.
The police said it appears that some form of altercation had taken place between the two parties, resulting in their injuries. The teenager was taking to St Peter's Hospital in Chertsey. Officers are not looking for anyone else in relation to this incident but they are appealing to anyone who witnessed it or who may have information in connection to it to come forward.
Call 101 ref P16193609 or use the online reporting system at https://report.police.uk and enter the ref in the 'Additional information' section. Or Crime-stoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
It is not the first time there as been trouble at the Thames Valley Housing Association apartment, where there are seven flats, four with children living in the building.
According to residents and neighbours living nearby, for the past two years they have seen trouble and the constant comings and goings of different people to the flat, where, they say, hard drugs are being taken.
A mum who has lived at the premises for about a year with her son, told the News & Mail: "This is the last straw. We were just coming in on Friday morning when this bloke was coming out, and my three-year-old-boy saw blood gushing out of his stomach.
"He shouldn't have to see something like that, especially where he lives and in broad daylight!
"About half a dozen police cars, ambulances and forensics turned up. We all had to be evacuated for a couple of hours while they were going in and out of the flat.
"These are really decent apartments but these people shouldn't be allowed to live here. No one should be subject to this sort of behaviour in their everyday lives. It's not safe.
"I'm too scared to leave my window open and I've had to cut the wires to my door buzzer to stop the junkies trying to get in. I'm too frightened to go anywhere when it's dark and my little boy is too scared to sleep on his own.
"I am not the only resident to have complained to Thames Valley on numerous occasions but it just falls on deaf ears and nothing's been done about it."

This was a collaborative #g2root effort, primarily involving scotty2, tmzt, IntuitiveNipple but also many others!
Ok, so the usual disclaimers go here:
I am not responsible for your bricked phone or the ignorance that may or may not have caused it based on the fact that you CHOSE to follow these steps. Read through the forums and LEARN before you attempt to flash any device. You have been warned.
This method only works for those devices who have already received their OTA update!!!
Now that that is out of the way here we go:
First make sure you have visionary installed!
Root.rar (all files plus a script to make things a little easier. )
md5sum: 46361b0cc8652d88688c0ab66d44950b
1. Download the root.rar file and unzip it to /sdcard on your device.
2. Run VISIONary to gain temp root.
Now I am going to run two different sets of instructions (you'll understand why in a minute):
Terminal Emulator Method
3a. Start terminal emulator up on your device.(I prefer this method b/c you can see the output.)
a. type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.
b. Type "cd /sdcard/root" + enter.
c. Type "sh root.sh" + enter.
d. Follow the on screen prompts.
File Explorer Method
3b. Start up root explorer, sufbs, or some other type of file browser with root privileges.
a. Navigate to /sdcard/root on your device.
b. Click on root.sh and allow it to run. Some file browsers ask you if you want to or not.
c. Now wait about 18 to 20 seconds and restart your device into the bootloader to check if S=off is displayed.
4. Start the device back up.
5. Run visionary again and reboot again. This will make root stick.
You can now uninstall visionary and enjoy permaroot.
Alternative Root Process
First, uninstall visionary and superuser and restart your device to wipe out temp root.
Second, download MT4G Modperm.zip and unzip its contents to your sdk tools directory.
MT4G Modperm.zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?eaw0q0zjc7rrrwh
MD5Sum: 3ea4a7a6ddee711d12f7350ce60fae33
Windows Users:
1a. Using Explorer navigate to the root of your sdk. Hold shift and right mouse click on the tools folder. Select "Open command window here".
2a. Type "adbbat" + enter. Wait till the batch file finishes.
Linux Users:
1b. Using file browser of your choice (or terminal) navigate to the tools folder of your sdk and double click on adbbat.sh (type sh adbbat.sh if you are using terminal). Credit for adbbat.sh goes to slhpss.
2. Disconnect your phone from the PC.
3. Open terminal emulator on the phone and type "/data/local/rage" + enter. Wait for "Forked XXXXXXXX children" to appear and then close the terminal.
4. Start terminal back up. It should force close.
5. Start terminal back up, again. This time it should stay open and you should have a "#" prompt instead of a "$" prompt. Then type "/data/local/temp.sh.
6. When the script finishes run /data/local/rage again and sit tight. The phone should start acting weird and do a soft reboot. Then right after everything loads it should do a hard reboot. After the hard reboot reboot and check S.(If it doesn't do the two reboots just reboot into hboot yourself after rage finishes with the "forked xxxxxxxx children" message.
7. Enjoy root!
If you still have problems getting su to work after this uninstall visionary, shutdown, pull battery, and restart. Should work after that. Props to PolishDude for figuring that one out.
If you have tried EVERYTHING and still cannot get it to work for through the process and wait 30 minutes to an hour. The driver might have a cache delay write and you may need to give it some time to allow the sync command to work. This has worked for one other person (mfouco). BTW, this was figured out by coachmai. Props man!
If su doesn't stick, flash again! You can't overroot it!
Process for turning S back on
Download this file and unzip it to /sdcard on your device.
md5sum: aad4e64126cf8d92d7e8b5abb48fdadd
Terminal Emulator Method
1. Open up terminal editor on your device.(I prefer this method b/c you can see the output.)
a. Type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.
b. Type "cd /sdcard/unroot" + enter.
c. Type "sh unroot.sh" + enter.
d. Follow the onscreen prompts.
File Explorer Method
2. Open root explorer, sufbs, or some other file browser with root access.
a. Navigate to /sdcard/unroot.
b. Click on unroot.sh and allow it to run. Some file browsers ask permission before they execute scripts.
c. Wait 18 to 20 seconds and reboot your phone into the bootloader to check if S=on.
You now have S=ON again.
Since we opened up the nand to writes you should still retain persistent root privileges.
Hope this makes it all easier for you.
Cheers --grankin01
For everyone that is have trouble writing to the protected areas of the system after following the rooting procedures.
Reboot into Clockwork recovery and choose the mounts and storage option. From there choose mount system (or whichever protected directory you want access to) and click the trackpad. When unmount system shows you have rw access to the /system directory and all of its subs.

The mayor announced that the Municipal Library has adhered to the Spanish Organization for the Children and Youth Book
The Department of Culture through the Municipal Library of Campos del Río, organized on April 2 a series of activities to commemorate the International Children's Book Day.
The day in which around 120 people participated, including children and relatives, began with the literary career "Hare and a MONAda recibé" that ran through different streets of the municipality.
On the afternoon of last Monday the Park of the Station concentrated the attention of children who were visited by the character of Hans Christian Andersen, who was a Danish writer and poet, famous for the publication of his stories for children, including titles popular as The Ugly Duckling, The Little Mermaid or The Snow Queen, among others that were adapted to the big screen by Disney.
In the visit, Andersen told the youngest of his beginnings and invited them to enjoy a career full of literary surprises where participants formed groups and started the march where they had to pass different tests while they were on the course with different reading messages until the arrival at the goal located in the Plaza de la Iglesia next to the Municipal Library where they were received by the Blasa goat, a children's mascot of Campos del Río.
The activities had the collaboration of the monitors of the Youth Employment and Training Program "Dinamización Campos del Río II" of Youth Guarantee, and continued throughout the afternoon with a high influx of children, fathers and mothers, who together with the monitors, they participated in an Andersen storytelling salad where fun was the star of the day with the interpretation and staging with puppets and dance of children's titles;
The Nightingale, The Red Shoes, Thumbelina, La Cerrillera and La Reina de las Nieves.
To conclude the commemoration of this day, all attendees were given a gift for their participation with a snack that included an Easter Monkey following the traditional tradition of Easter Monday.
The mayor and councilor of Culture of Campos del Río, María José Pérez Cerón, congratulated the staff of the Municipal Library and the monitors for the success of the activities and thanked the parents for their collaboration, participation and involvement in them, since " this day aims to promote the habit of reading among the smallest and from this council will continue to organize focused actions for children with the aim of promoting their training through recreational activities adapted to their age.
Finally, the mayor announced that "the Municipal Library has recently joined the Spanish Organization for the Children and Youth Book, wanting to enhance reading among children who are protagonists of the present and future of our people."

During her two years of service with the U.S. Army's Special Forces Group 10, Dutch Shepherd Taba specialized in explosives detection, patrol and tracking. She was particularly skilled at locating roadside bombs and took part in many dangerous raids, saving countless lives. Now in retirement, Taba lives with a former K-9 police dog handler and his family. Although recovering from a recent surgery that required a rear leg amputation, the canine warrior was on hand to receive the American Humane Lois Pope K-9 Medal of Courage.
Taba, shown above, was one of four military dogs recognized this week in Washington, D.C., with the nation's highest honor for canine service to the United States.
"These remarkable dogs have given us their best. They have put their own lives on the line to protect us, to defend us, and to save us," said philanthropist and veterans advocate Lois Pope.
"Working side-by-side with the men and women of our Armed Forces while putting their own lives on the line for our country, these dogs have taken loyalty to a whole new level through their service and, by doing so, have saved countless thousands of lives. Today is the perfect time to properly recognize their valiant sacrifices and contributions to our nation at the highest levels."
Here are the other medal winners.

Specialized Search Dog Jag first teamed up with Army Sergeant Dennis Dow more than a decade ago, when Jag first learned to detect explosive devices and other potential threats. The duo deployed to Afghanistan and Germany and on their very first mission, Jag found a hidden cache of deadly artillery rounds. After thousands of searches and hundreds of missions, Jag and Dow are now retired and the pair volunteer together at their local fire department, helping provide comfort in tragic situations.

Since beginning its operations in 2010, Snapdeal has emerged as one of the India's leading online marketplaces for buyers and sellers. This online portal offers a good catalogue of products from various regional, national and international brands to countless shoppers across India. By offering good deals on diverse products including, mobile phones, fashion apparel, laptops, gadgets and appliances, home and kitchen and even automotive and health products, the portal has gained trust and loyalty of numerous buyers in the country.
What makes Snapdeal the right choice for Sellers?
- Snapdeal has more than 20 million members which means that it is the preferred choice for one out of every six internet users in India.
- The portal takes care of the shopping needs of clients in more than 4000 cities and towns across the country.
- Sellers need not do marketing of the products they list. Snapdeal, just like Flipkart, Amazon or other marketplaces, takes care of the marketing and sellers need to pay a commission based on sales made.
In view of the above facts it would not be wrong to state that Snapdeal has established itself as one of the leading e-commerce marketplaces. It has successfully reached out to a huge section of target audiences in a cost-effective and timely manner.
Type of Products
Snapdeal claims to offer more than 4 million products under 500+ categories, which include men's and women's apparel, baby products, mobile and laptop devices, electronic appliances and gadgets, home furnishing, games toys and kids products , footwear, recharges and bill payments and many more.
The portal constantly provides great deals in the form of exclusive discounts and offers on various products under each category. Quite recently, it has also introduced the SmartFeed feature that enables customers to shop for the products of their choice in three simple steps.
How to become a seller on Snapdeal?
The process of becoming a seller on Snapdeal is extremely easy. The sellers need to first register with the website and fulfill the requisite formalities once the website has approved the registration.
Listed below are the various steps that the users need to follow to become a seller with India's largest e-commerce website.
- Visit www.sellers.Snapdeal.com and fill the small registration form online.
- Once the sellers submit the form the information they provide will be verified by the website.
- After receiving a confirmation from the portal, the sellers need to submit the requisite documents as listed below.
- Pan Card for the business
- TIN Number for the business
- Bank Account Number for the business
- Any other document sought by the website
- Once all the documents have been verified and approved, the sellers will be required to sign a Snapdeal Partnership Agreement.
The sellers are now all set to list their products on the website.
After registering, you will get a control panel for listing your product. It is suggested that you check similar items on the website for pricing and best suited category while listing your product. This will give you a fair idea of what would be the best suited price. There are no charges for listing a product on the website.
Snapdeal provides an excel file which generates a new sheet for every category that you list your products in. This sheet will have some common fields like SKU code, Name, Description, Price and will also have some fields which are specific for the category that you sell in.
Fulfillment and Shipping
At Snapdeal, it is compulsory to use their logistics partner for shipping.
You can either follow the SOI model where Snapdeal will store your products for you and ship it on your behalf.
The other model is commonly known as the Dropship model: The seller needs to keep product packed and the logistics partner will pick it from their door and deliver it to the customer. If you want Snapdeal to pack your product then you will have to pay 3/- per order. The exact price for shipping of the product is not clearly disclosed publicly but it is approximately 40/- for ½ kg shipment. The portal has also provided a shipment tracking and management tool SafeShip to its seller for convenient shipping management.
Salient Features of Return Policy:
Snapdeal has a well-defined policy in place to cater to the needs of the customers who might feel satisfied with their purchase. The salient features of this policy are as follows.
- The customers can notify the portal about their desire to return a product within 48 hours of receiving the package.
- The portal generally provides a pickup service to receive the product to be returned. In case such service is not available the customers can arrange for the product to be dispatched using a reputed courier service and the charges for the same will be fully reimbursed.
- The portal shall reimburse the entire value of the product as paid by the customers and the processing time for same will depend on the mode of payment chosen by the customers at the time of making the purchase.
- Snapdeal holds the right to verify the authenticity of any complaints of defect or damage in a product that the customers choose to return and reject any such complaints if found baseless.
You can read more details on the seller return policy here.
In case of a damaged product, please see detailed compensation policy here.
Although Snapdeal does not charge the sellers for listing their products on the portal it does collect a commission fee on every sale made through the website. Similar to product shipping charges, commission rates are not allowed to be disclosed in public. However, the usual charge lies between 4% and 20% per sale. Pricing policy depends on the performance of product on the portal.
Given the fact that the portal not only promotes the products of the sellers but helps them to reach out to a wider range of their target audiences in a more effective and inexpensive manner, the commission charged for each sale appears genuine.
Transfer of Funds:
For successful order, payment is received by the seller within 3 weeks of the dispatch date. The funds are deposited after deducting the necessary commission for the sale so as to keep the accounts clear.
For getting further details about the registration process for becoming a Seller with Snapdeal, or the method of listing products and reimbursement policy, visit this link.

After a two hours flight from Montreal to Minneapolis, a layover of nearly four hours, followed by another flight which lasted close to twelve hours, we safely landed landed at Narita airport in Tokyo's suburban. Alas, a few more hours were required to reach the Sakura Hotel, located near the Ikebukuro station "downtown" Tokyo. Despite the long trip, we would not have let the exhaustion get the best part of our first evening in this metropolitan japanese city.
Then, after changing our sets of clothes and refreshing ourselves, we went to meet Annick and Jules (both in charge of the mission) who had been in nipponese territory since a few days prior to our arrival. To celebrate our reunion, we went to eat okonomiyakis "what you like/want", a japanese specialty found in a nearby restaurant. Often compared to pizza or omelette, this japanese meal is composed of a variety of assorted ingredients mixed to a paste which is cooked by yourself on a cooking plate in the middle of the table. We can see Ka Hei, preparing his on the picture below.
Following these events, a few braves went to explore the district prior to finally get some well deserved rest in horizontal position for the first time in nearly 36 hours. Our visit led us to observe how popular video games and karaoke are in Japan.
The next day in the morning, some of the matinal people could enjoy a typical japanese breakfast, prior to our official meeting, which had for goals to put some light on some required logistics, a few team rules and japanese manners.
Once the meeting was over, we all headed to the Sunshine Center where we saw a lot of people cosplaying, wearing some outstanding costumes. Afterwards, we visited the Pokemon center!
Next, we convened we would split the group, but then we realised a few hours later we went for the same attraction, the Shinjuku Gyoen Park. To our pleasure, many cherry trees and fruit trees were still flowering.
Finally, in the end of the evening, we went to the other extremity of the Yamanote line (the green one in the middle), and we gained awareness of Tokyo's enormity. Even with 45 minutes in transit aboard trains, the city never seemed to lose its density and vitality. We are now better able to understand how it is possible to accomodate as many people in such a dense area.
We will stay in touch!

Swimsuit designer Yodit Eklund grew up all over Africa—and now spends about 80 percent of her time traveling there for work—so she's always been a cheerleader for the continent's under-the-radar beaches. But she also worries about them. "There is more and more pollution, because people don't value the beaches in Africa," she says. "You would never see that in Santa Barbara or even Costa Rica, because so much tourism comes in." Her solution: Design teeny bikinis (and other beachwear), produce them locally, and use the clothing as a way to promote the incredible shores—which she's done since 2009 when she launched swimwear company Bantu. "I thought maybe if I could expose the beaches to people, we could preserve the environment. It's really about making people aware that there are amazing beaches." With that in mind, we had her take us on a tour of her favorite places to surf in Africa…
Dakar, Senegal: "I think it's one of the most underrated surf spots. The real surfers go there—I don't think a lot of the average surfers go there. It's really safe, it has amazing food, there's great music, and there's a great scene. It's also super accessible; it's not far from the U.S. It's a shame that more people don't go."
NGor, Senegal: "NGor is a little tiny island off the coast of Dakar. That's where the NGor break is—it's a famous ride—and it's where [cult surf film] The Endless Summer is shot. There's no electricity on the island, so there are a couple of hostels where you can camp out. You get there by boat, and there are tons of little boats that go over there; you'll see business people who are selling bananas and necklaces, so you can hop on a boat with them and get over to NGor, which is about ten minutes on from Dakar. You really don't have that many people who go out there. You look at some beaches with hundreds of people, but the max you'll have out there is 20 people in the water."
Muizenberg Beach, Cape Town, South Africa: "Cape Town is nice. Anyone can go there—it's great for beginning surfers. The water's cold, though, and there are sharks. There's a beach called Muizenberg, which is where the townships are, and there's a big sense of community. We've done work with the kids from the townships, where we take them out to teach them how to surf. The guy who takes them out to surf is named Cass Collier—he was one of the first big-wave surfers of color, but it was during apartheid, so he never got much recognition."
Essaouira, Morocco: "Morocco is more accessible to Europe. There's waves all year round. For me, it's not real Africa, in a way, but there is great surf in Morocco. A lot of people from Casablanca have beach houses there. Then you have a lot of Europeans who come out and surf there from Spain and Norway and Portugal. Essaouira is French-speaking, so if you don't speak French it can be complicated, but it's a great wave and a beginning surfer can go here to learn."
**Assini, Cote d'Ivoire: **"It's one of my favorite beaches in the world. Basically on one side, you have a lagoon, and the other you have ocean; you drive through rainforest and then you get to a lagoon and you take a boat to the other side, and you have the ocean. There are some great waves. It's a little bit more rough; a beginning surfer would not be able to surf there. There are a couple of different scenes. You have Rastafarians, but then there's also a very St. Tropez-esque crowd. There's an area called Assini Mafia, it's where all the rich people from the capital come to have their beach houses and chalets. One side is very natural and low-scale, you have a lot of fishing villages, but you have another part of it that is glitzy."

SEN Department goes trekking to Khilanmarg
On 26th of June DPS Srinagar's SEN department went for a trekking to Khilanmarg. For the first time our students from SEN department went on a trekking program. The trek consisted of 24 students from vocational, Senior Functional and junior functional categories. The students were accompanied by seven teachers, one medical assistant and trek in charge Mr Tajinder.
The team left the school at 6.30am in the morning. The idea behind the trek was to make the SEN students aware about nature and feel the connection with it. All the students were filled with great enthusiasm and zeal. During the trek the team visited IISM Gulmarg. The trek was conducted in Khilanmarg. Khilanmarg, is a small valley about 6 kilometers (3.7 mi) away from the Gulmarg. The meadow, carpeted with flowers in the spring, is the site for Gulmarg's winter ski runs and offers a view of the surrounding peaks and over the Kashmir Valley. It's a 600 meters (2,000 ft) ascent from Gulmarg to Khilanmarg. The students enjoyed the trek and the serenity of the nature as well.

Benefits of Networked Lighting Control
Financial & Energy Savings
This may be the most readily understood benefit of control systems. But few people understand the many ways that lighting control systems benefit energy consumption and the bottom line. Here are just three key areas of significant savings.
First, average employees will spend one third of their work time outside of their offices. If the office isn't equipped with lighting controls that sense an absence, the company will be paying 33% more than necessary to light those offices. And other common areas like restrooms, hallways and conference rooms experience an even higher degree of waste.
Second, many buildings don't take advantage of daylight harvesting — the practice of automatically adjusting internal artificial light based on the amount of natural light coming in from outside. Throughout the United States most areas have between 150 and 225 partly cloudy to sunny days per year. Utilizing natural light to illuminate a room with windows can decrease artificial light usage by 60%.
Finally, light fixtures in a room result in added heat load in the room. Reducing the number of light fixtures that need to be on at a given time likewise reduces the heat. According to the International Facility Management Association, three watts of saved lighting energy equates to an additional one watt of saved cooling load.
Convenience & Comfort
Classrooms, conference rooms and meeting spaces can often serve multiple purposes over the course of a day. Having a solution that allows users to simply choose the lighting that best meets their needs allows meetings to proceed quickly, comfortably, and with the right ambience.
According to research completed at Carnegie Mellon University, "daylighting appears to improve productivity and absenteeism by at least 20 percent." Quite simply, smart lighting controls help create more productive employees.
Safety & Security
Lighting for parking lots and exterior security lighting can amount to a larger percentage of a building's power consumption — making it ripe for potential savings. But beyond that, employing accurate time clocks, light level detection, and dusk to dawn controls can help building users feel more secure and reduce instances of crime — including theft and property damage.

I just lost a game to a cheater... he is banned for 30 days.
hA just kidding..., sorry I just wasted 10 seconds of your life.
If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.

Post subject: Wayne Swan announces parental leave will go ahead in 2011
The federal government will commit to paid parental leave from January 2011 for those earning less that $150,000 a year, federal Treasurer Wayne Swan says.
Mr Swan, who will hand down his second budget on Tuesday, said the scheme will pay the federal minimum wage for 18 weeks and will be funded by the government, not business.
The Productivity Commission estimates the scheme will cost $450m a year.
"This is a very significant reform," Mr Swan told the Nine Network.
"The scheme must be introduced in a measured and responsible way, particularly taking into account a global recession."
He said the early years of a child's life were important for prospects in later life, while the quality of family life was impacted by the quality of work life.
"We have got to get that balance between work and family right, and paid parental leave is an essential reform," he said.
"We are one of only two countries in the western world that doesn't have paid parental leave."
He said the scheme would be of particular benefit to low and middle income earners.
"Where the primary carer's income is over $150,000 they won't be eligible," he said.
"We are very mindful that this significant reform must be progressed in a measured and responsible way."
Independent senator Nick Xenophon told Sky News the scheme was long overdue, and should go ahead immediately, despite its effect on an already difficult budget.
"I think it's a question of can we afford not to do it right now," he said.
"When you consider the social benefit in giving mums paid maternity leave, I think ... it's a good thing to do right now, irrespective of the fact that things are relatively tough."
While he was pleased there was now a start date proposed for the reform, Senator Xenophon said he could push for it to be brought forward.
"January 2011, it's a good start, but let's see whether it can be pushed forward a little," he said.
Senator Xenophon said he also remained concerned that single parents could miss out on planned pension increases.
"It doesn't make sense to me for the government to be giving long overdue increases to senior citizens in terms of pensions, but that sole parents, single mums in particular, will miss out," he said.
"Last time I checked, they still have to pay just as much as everybody else at the checkout for the basic essentials of life and I think there's an anomaly there."
The Opposition criticised the announcement, saying announcing a federal paid parental leave scheme so far in advance may stop employers introducing their own measures in the interim.
"My fear about this being stretched out to 2011 is that the employers that want to continue, or do implement maternity schemes, will just simply pull up stumps," treasury spokesman Joe Hockey told ABC Television.
"Because now they know that the Rudd government with taxpayers money is going to step into the breach, they don't need to do anything."
He said BHP announced a "very generous" scheme last week.
"Who is going to pay for this at the end of the day, and this says everything about their budget," he said.
"On the one hand they're handing out cheques for $900 ... and on the other hand they are saying it is going to be a tough budget.
"On the one hand they say we have got to have sustainable budgets into the future, now they are putting promises on the never never."
NSW Commissioner for Children Gillian Calvert welcomed the scheme, saying it would give parents time to care for babies at an important stage of their life.
"Research shows the continuous interaction between baby and parents in the baby's first 12 months of life shapes the brain wiring - affecting how a child regulates emotions, communicates, solves problems, thinks logically and reacts to the world," she said.
She said the scheme would also help the workforce retain the skills and labour of female workers.

Is your lawn getting thin, turning brown, or developing spots?
Is your lawn getting thin, turning brown, or developing spots? Over time, most soils become compacted or hard and your turf has trouble filling in those thin and browning spots. Drought disease and insects can also take their toll. If any of this sounds familiar, aeration and overseeding might be just what you need.
All lawns regardless of their condition can benefit from some level of renovation every year or so. One of the best means of rejuvenating turf is to combine the power of professional aeration with overseeding.
Learn More
Following aeration with overseeding is a great way to thicken up a thin lawn or add a hardier, more drought-resistant grass variety to your property. Good seed-to-soil contact is essential for seeding success, and the new grass seed will have an easier time growing in the holes left behind by aeration. Keep in mind that if your lawn has been seeded, the soil should be kept moist with light, frequent sprinklings until the new grass is well established.

"Spiritual Perspectives on Illness and Health" by Emma Bragdon
Most people who are ill at some point ask themselves, "Why me?" Every mother of a disabled child wonders, "Why did my innocent child get this infirmity?" What natural questions. What profound questions.
Ask a priest for an answer and you might hear a response like this: "God wills it. It is your job to accept the problem and not question God's will."
Spiritists (Brazil's Spiritualists) give a different answer. While recognizing Jesus Christ as a model human being, they also believe in reincarnation and karma. They believe that we continue to grow lifetime after lifetime-even between lifetimes-to become increasingly more loving and wise. Spiritists also believe in cause and effect, i.e. everything one does has an effect. If you treat the world with kindness, kindness will be returned to you. If you create problems, more problems will come to you. Taken from the Bible this universal law is "What ye shall sow, ye shall reap." Eastern philosophies refer to this law as "Karma".
On December 12, 2005, my group and I spent an evening with Tania Appel. She is a medium at John of God's sanctuary. She has been a volunteer at the Casa de Dom Inácio since 1991. Her father is a physician and her mother is a medium.
What Causes Illness
I left our discussion with the following answers to the question, "What causes illness?"
- An Agreement. Some people who are ill have been able to remember a time they chose to be ill-for a certain purpose. This choice often occurs before this lifetime begins-when a soul is deciding what lessons are important to learn in the proceeding lifetime.
A visitor at the Casa, Leigh, very ill for 15 years, puts it this way:
"I CHOSE to experience illness in this lifetime for several reasons. To learn to increase my compassion for others, to feel what being ill was all about, to learn the value of beauty and life unseen by most, to learn that I can heal. That last was the lesson/gift given me in Abadiania. The gift to me has been my communication with the spirit world, and my facilitating others to do the same. Many do all these things without illness, I'm not sure I would have. I maintain, and always have, that I have been more gifted by this illness than hurt. I also believe there are those who did come just to experience illness, just as there are those who came to experience starvation, being very wealthy, etc."
A mother dealing with a child who was born with serious medical problems who visited the Casa is inspired by the Kabbalist perspective: that parents should assume responsibility for a child's infirmity, not to take blame for it, but to recognize that the child may have chosen the illness as a gift to encourage the parents to grow.
- Karmic debts from this lifetime or another lifetime. If one has been cruel to others in the past, one may be disabled, even "brought to one's knees" in this lifetime.
An illness will teach patience, surrender, acceptance, humility, and compassion for others. Those who are incapacitated are more likely to meditate on profound questions, such as, "What is the meaning of life? How can I give my life more meaning?" In quiet moments one is more likely to find connection to the love of God, spiritual guidance, and one's guardian angels. In quiet moments one is more likely to do the work of forgiveness. Some will recall the negative behavior of past lives, and forgive themselves and others for the hurtful behavior that transpired. Thus, one can rectify oneself for past karma and begin to live life in a different way.
Judging others for having karmic debts is, however, neither wise nor kind. Why anyone suffers from illness is a complex issue. Only an intelligence more expanded than the ordinary human mind knows the true reasons why anyone is ill-and it is best that finding answers to the question "Why me?" be left to the conversation between the ill person and their God, or spiritual guidance.
Leigh, writes: "Having blame (for being ill) placed on me by some, never helped. We all have Karmic debt, myself absolutely included - yet, many of us who are ill are tired of hearing we have 'dis-ease', and Karmic Debt - that we are sick mainly because we were 'bad' in a past life. For Pete's sake! Each person is doing the best he or she can to be happy and live a good life. Dishing out guilt and shame does not help a sick person become well."
- Lack of willingness to do one's work. Each of us has chosen to perform a certain mission in our lifetime. Examples: to lovingly parent two children, to be a community leader, to grow vegetables so others may eat. If one never takes the time to innerly ask, "What is my mission in life?", one may never come close to completing the contract. With the seclusion and quiet and rest of illness, one asks, "What is my life really about? What is important for me to do before I pass on?"
I have heard many stories of terminally ill people, who left their beds and went on to a healthy, happy life after realizing what each really needed to do and to be, and who he or she needed to be with.
Tania's mother was almost limited to a wheelchair before reaching the Casa due to congenital rheumatoid arthritis. She learned patience and perseverance. She had studied spiritual literature for thirty years, always a positive, giving person. Late in life she was totally healed at the Casa, making it easier for her to be of service to others. According to the entities, such remarkable healing was facilitated by her dedication to her work and study.
- Self-centered behavior. If the purpose of living lifetimes is to ultimately make us more loving and wise-then self-absorption and egotism obstruct fulfilling that purpose. The more we reach out to actively assist others, the more aligned we become with the true purpose of life.
This does not mean that you need to be punishing towards yourself, and not take care of yourself. Instead, it means treat yourself and others with respect, as a sacred being learning lessons in the school of life. Empathize with others' difficulties and others' joys. Live as if others feel the same depths of pain as you have felt-and open your heart to help those being challenged, when you are able. We are truly all spiritual brothers and sisters. Our ideal is to live in loving brotherhood.
- Negative attitudes (e.g. anger, bitterness, resentfulness, envy, sense of being a victim). It is human to feel some negative feelings when one is diagnosed with illness and given a prognosis of an abbreviated lifetime. However, each of us has a choice: Do I descend into being absorbed into these negative attitudes-proving over and over that I have a right to be angry and feel cheated? Or, do I pull myself together and make every moment as rich, as funny, and as delightful as possible? Do I close down into self-pity, isolation and crustiness, or do I stay open to loving connection?
The medical statistics are readily available: Negative emotions and attitudes depress the function of the immune system, in other words, they support and enable disease states. Metaphysicians and clairvoyants also agree that negative thought-forms darken the energy body (aura) and seed physical disease.
What Causes Healing
Once we realize that the cause of illness lies in the spirit and soul, we realize what we need to do to progress the soul-which is essential in eventually healing the body:
- Choose to be kind, positive and life affirming in both attitude and behavior. Take joy in life-but not at others' expense. Choose to help others, as you are able. Live in the truth that we are all loving brothers and sisters in spirit. Do this and dark thought-forms will have no place to reside in your energy field. Your heart will be full, you will radiate light, your thinking will become clearer, your immune system stronger.
- Become more disciplined. Changing your attitudes and habits of reacting and behaving towards others is not always an easy task--especially if you have made a habit of being selfish and automatically reacting with negative responses to life.
Spiritists study "The Gospel According to Spiritism" by Allan Kardec to reinforce learning positive ways of being in the world. This book is divided into chapters that provide commentaries on various parables in the New Testament of the Bible. The commentaries were given by highly evolved Spirits, channeled through mediums, and compiled by Kardec (an academic and scientist), who also writes some commentary. Discussing this inspired book with others assists us to think and act rationally as we integrate the true purpose of life into our daily ways of being in the world.
- Harness your mediumship. Each person has special sensitivities, or gifts. It is up to each one of us to learn how to harness these gifts to benefit others. Each individual needs to first become aware what his or her gifts are, and then find a way to cultivate them.
Spiritist Centers in Brazil are known for giving free food and spiritual healing to all in need. They also provide free classes to make it easier for people to study "The Gospel According to Spiritism" and to train themselves to improve as mediums.
Most importantly, if you feel you have received the gift of mediumship from God, give it, in turn, freely to others: pray for them, assist them to clear the darkness from their energy field, assist them to forgive themselves and others for past cruel behavior.
In sum, it is easy to see why the Casa de Dom Inácio is such a powerful healing center. People are spending 3-6 hours a day in current, Wednesday through Friday. This creates more discipline in life as well as bringing us into more direct communion with our spiritual guidance. Sitting still, we come to directly know and understand what gives life meaning and we recall why we are alive today. John of God is a model of an individual who is performing a strenuous mission. Those gifted with healing mediumship have a place to practice their gifts, and learn how to improve their skills and deepen their understanding.
Take part in this way of life and you naturally become increasingly more loving and more positive-as well as more whole.

MIDTOWN: Backstage pass to 'Wicked' at the Fox Theatre | News
ATLANTA -- The Broadway show Wicked tells the untold story of the witches of Oz, beginning long before Dorothy descended.
And before the theatre-goers descended on the Fox, 11Alive was invited behind the Emerald Curtain for an exclusive look at this smash hit musical.
Wicked is on stage at Atlanta's Fox Theatre through October 9.
Performances are Tuesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 6:30 p.m., with matinees Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. Tickets start at $36.
While you can't defy gravity like the Wicked Witch, you might be able to defy high ticket prices.
A limited number of day-of-performance tickets are available at a discounted rate of $25. Each day, 2½ hours prior to show time, people who present themselves at the Fox Theatre box office will have their names placed in a lottery drum and then, 30 minutes later, names will be drawn for a limited number of orchestra seats at $25 each, cash only. This lottery is available only in-person at the box office, with a limit of two tickets per person.
Wicked runs for two hours and 45 minutes.

The Category
We here at Pop Modern, as you may have noticed, are big fans of science fiction. Whether it's a big budget summer blockbuster or two guys in their backyard with rubber masks and half-faded glowsticks, something about the genre is infectious. Science fiction dares us to dream, to think beyond the confines of our reality, and to see our world in a whole new light. That, and there are so many flashy gizmos. So, in honor of this beloved genre and all of its assorted baubles and whats-its, this week we've decided to bring you our favorite sci-fi gadgets.
The Choices
The Tricorder from Star Trek: Some of my favorite fictional gadgets are the ones based in concrete reality. The Star Trek series is known for a fairly serious tone and deep fiction, and the tricorder is an essential part of any starship team's equipment. It's essentially an all-in-one device, capable of foreign atmosphere analysis, cross-species communication, and even basic teleportation. Like The Force, tricorders are cooler when they aren't explained in the universe, and are just this magical, cell phone-esque piece of technology that comes in handy at all the right times.
The Holographic Touch Screen from Minority Report: Yet another gadget that we're mere years away from, the computers in Minority Report function only to make Tom Cruise look cool while he researches criminals, but it's actually a fascinating piece of tech. Slip on some gloves, enter a password, and you're interfacing with a high-tech computer. The practical implications are mind-blowing, but I mostly want a touch-based hologram computer so that I can finally live out my dream of lazily browsing the Internet with just my fingertips.
The Heart of Gold from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The ship from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was as improbable as the books themselves. The power source for the ship ran on infinite improbability, and as such, anything could happen while using it. Knowing exactly how improbable any event is allows it to happen, usually without too many permanent side effects. The ship really holds its own when it comes to technology and style, a combination of raw power with the smug, opulent feel to let you know that the ship will never need to use any of its power. Note: Hangs in the sky in much the same way as a brick doesn't.
The Web-Shooters from Spider-Man: This is another invention that my 8-year-old self would require. Though it would probably wrench my arm out of its socket, I would need to try to swing around the Cleveland skyline, fighting crimes with the aide of my web-shooters. Versatile and fun, the webs can be used in place of typical adhesives saving hundreds of dollars on crazy glue. Then again the cost of web-shooters would probably offset the savings, but you need to spend some money to keep happy.
The Portal Gun from Portal: The perfect blend of rad and utilitarian, Chell's Portal Gun from the acclaimed puzzle-shooter is a must-have addition to any arsenal of science-fiction gadgets. After all, not only are there endless uses for such a weapon in battle, espionage, and other strategic applications, it's also a drastic improvement to one's quality of life. The sky's the limit when it comes to portals, and any quotidian task would be rendered either significantly easier or just plain obsolete with a Portal Gun.
The Mr. Fusion from Back to the Future: I figured it would raise a few too many eyebrows if I put a time-travelling DeLorean into the "gadget" category, so I settled for another tribute to the classic science fiction series that would ultimately be far more useful in everyday life: The Mr. Fusion. Think about it, a thermos-sized reactor that can turn trash into green energy. That's monumental, that little gadget would change our lives as we know it. Sure, it's no time machine, maybe it's about time we focus on wacky gadget that would solve our problems, rather than lump physics-bending paradoxes on top of them.
The Thermal Detonator from Star Wars: For my last choice, I thought I'd cool off on the practicality spiel and go for something a bit more deadly. Unfortunately, James already went and grabbed the lightsaber, so I had to poke around the Star Wars universe for something just as deadly, though much less dignified. I'm talking about the thermal detonator, the hand grenade to end all hand grenades, the explosive that can make Boba Fett quiver in his boots and Jabba the Hutt quiver in his…well, he'll be quivering.
The Conclusion
Questioning why we chose what we did? Quibbles, queries, or any other issues with our selections? Quell your frustration by heading down to the comments and making yourself heard. Quaking, we're practically quaking in anticipation.

Together: Creating Family Traditions
This month, our theme is Think Green. Spring is just around the corner. Even though there is still snow on the ground in many parts of the country, here in the South our daffodils have already begun to bloom. You too, can enjoy a little bit of spring indoors. Use your green thumb to try planting some seeds in a terrarium or forcing some bulbs.
Did you know that the shamrock, or three-leafed clover, is a sacred plant in Ireland because it symbolizes the rebirth of spring? Check your local nurseries. Many will carry shamrocks on or around St. Patrick's Day, March 17th.
Speaking of St. Patrick's Day, children love fables of leprechauns. In Celtic folktales, ornery leprechauns were notorious for the tricks they used to protect their pots of gold. Here, we've included our own concoction, fit for any leprechaun.
Project: Forcing Spring Bulbs
Bring a bit of Nature indoors. You can force hyacinth, paper whites, crocus, and tulip bulbs to bloom by placing them in a shallow bowl filled with gravel.
1. Bury the bottom half of the bulb in the gravel.
2. Add just enough water to cover the stones.
3. Place the bowl in a cool dark place for three weeks.
4. When green shoots emerge, move the bowl to a sunny window. Soon fragrant blooms will appear.

NCI Drug Dictionary
The NCI Drug Dictionary contains technical definitions and synonyms for drugs/agents used to treat patients with cancer or conditions related to cancer. Each drug entry includes links to check for clinical trials listed in NCI's List of Cancer Clinical Trials.
- azithromycin
An azalide, derived from erythromycin, and a member of a subclass of macrolide antibiotics with bacteriocidal and bacteriostatic activities. Azithromycin reversibly binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of the 70S ribosome of sensitive microorganisms, thereby inhibiting the translocation step of protein synthesis, wherein a newly synthesized peptidyl tRNA molecule moves from the acceptor site on the ribosome to the peptidyl (donor) site, and consequently inhibiting RNA-dependent protein synthesis leading to cell growth inhibition and cell death. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)
US brand name: AzaSite
Code name: CP 62993
Chemical structure:
- (2R,3S,4R,5R,8R,10R,11R,12S,13S,14R)-13-[(2,6-Dideoxy-3-C-methyl-3-O-methyl-alpha-L-ribo-hexopyranosyl)oxy]-2-ethyl-3,4,10-trihydroxy-3,5,6,8,10,12,14-heptamethyl-11-[(3,4,6-trideoxy-3-(dimethylamino)-beta-D-xylo-hexopyranosyl]oxy]-1-oxa-6-azacyclopentade

PostSecret Wants You To Share Your Thoughts Out Loud
Some secrets are too big to keep quiet. For those occasions when writing down your innermost feelings isn't enough, PostSecret wants you to say them out loud.
That's the idea behind the blog's latest project, PostSecret: Out Loud, which asks anonymous volunteers to record their private thoughts online, over voicemail or through email. The blog will select its favorite audio secrets, which will be paired with visuals in future videos.
This video from PostSecret, made in conjunction with The Glossary, is the first look at Out Loud. It features real secrets read aloud at PostSecret events and paired with humorous but heartfelt animations.
The first video featuring user-submitted secrets is set to release in April.

Zygocactus, Christmas cactus, Schlumbergera: no matter what you call this cactus, the flowers are stunning. It always amazes me that such a plain plant produces such incredible flowers. These photos are of the first open flower this year on my plant.
This is my first post in a regular Wednesday feature when I'll look at flowers that are beautiful, unusual, strange or just catch my eye.

Nelson Mandela University (NMU) recently celebrated the inauguration of Professor Sibongile Muthwa as vice-chancellor and Dr. Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi as chancellor.
They join NMU chair of the council, former ambassador Nozipho January-Bardill.
"I am honoured to form part of this trio of women," said Fraser-Moleketi at the ceremony.
She said NMU was the only university to have three women at its helm, according to the NMU Facebook page.
Fraser-Moleketi added that she was "deeply humbled" by the confidence the council and university community had in her.
Her acceptance speech paid tribute to many prominent leaders, including the late Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and ANC veteran Zola Skweyiya, who she said were her former colleagues.
The university announced Fraser-Moleketi, a former minister for public service and administration, as its new chancellor last month, effective from April 1.
She was awarded an honorary doctorate at the institution last year for her contribution to leadership in social and economic transformation, with specific emphasis on the empowerment of women.
Muthwa assumed her position on January 1.
Between 2010 and 2017, she was the deputy vice-chancellor for institutional support at NMU. Before that, she served as director general of the Eastern Cape government.
In 2014, Muthwa was appointed as a commissioner of the financial and fiscal commission, and in July 2017 she was appointed as its deputy chairperson.

text: We consider the weak memory model of Total Store Ordering (TSO). In the classical definition of TSO, an unbounded buffer is inserted between each process and the shared memory. The buffers contains pending store operations of the processes. We introduce a new model where we replace the store buffers by load buffers. In contrast to the classical model, the buffers now contain load operations. We show that the models have equivalent behaviors in the sense that the processes reach identical sets of states when the input program is run under the two models.

Saleh's foreign policy as the leader of North Yemen was characterized by the principles of "positive neutrality" and Arab unity. Under Saleh, Yemen cultivated close ties with Saudi Arabia and other pro-West states in the region. He also purchased military equipment from the United States and expanded economic relations with the West. At the same time, Saleh also tried to maintain friendly relations with the then-Soviet Union (which broke apart in 1991). In October 1984, he renewed the treaty of Friendship and Cooperation that was originally signed in 1964 by San'a and Moscow.
Saleh has emerged as one of the staunchest supporters of Arab unity. After the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, he sent Yemeni volunteers to assist Palestinian fighters in Lebanon and provided the Palestine Liberation Organization with training facilities in Yemen. During the Iran-Iraq War, Yemeni volunteers were dispatched to fight alongside the Iraqis. In 1989, Yemen—along with Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan—formed the Arab Cooperation Council to facilitate the movement of capital and labor among member states. Yemen's refusal to publicly condemn the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait of August 1990 indicated the new Republic's foreign policy would continue to be guided by the principle of Arab unity. Indeed, when the UN Security Council voted in November 1990 to authorize the use of force to remove Iraqi troops from Kuwait, Yemen and Cuba were the only countries to vote against the resolution. U.S. foreign aid to Yemen, which then amounted to around US $70 million a year, was eliminated for a decade. In 1999, Yemen was one of nine Arab Parliaments that appealed to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to lift the sanctions on Iraq, which they claimed amounted to genocide.
In the summer of 2000, Yemen and Saudi Arabia signed an International Border Treaty settling a 50-year-old dispute over the location of the border between the two countries. Yemen settled its dispute with Eritrea over the Hanish Islands in 1998.
In early 2002, President Saleh cancelled a scheduled visit to Egypt when that country requested extradition of 22 Islamic militants, one of whom was a possible suspect in the 1996 attempted assassination of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarek. International observers feared that Yemen was providing safe haven for extremists connected with the terrorist organizations al-Qaeda and Islamic Jihad, a suspicion discounted by President Saleh as of early 2002. Saleh admitted, however, that tribal groups may harbor terrorists without government knowledge or support.
Yemen's connections to international terrorism are also linked to the 12 October 2000 suicide bombing against the USS Cole in Aden harbor, in which 17 Americans died and 37 were wounded. The United States held al-Qaeda responsible for the attack.
Yemen is also the ancestral homeland of Osama bin Laden, whose father was born in Yemen. Yemen's international standing as a nation friendly to the West was questioned in December 2002 when a North Korean ship laden with 15 Scud missiles, warheads, and chemicals headed for Yemen was apprehended by U.S. and Spanish naval vessels before being allowed to proceed on its way and deliver its shipment. The United States seized the ship in an effort to curb the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and missile delivery systems. Although highly critical of North Korea's role in arms dealing, the United States recognized the legality of the weapons sale to Yemen and did not want to jeopardize relations with a country it considered to be cooperating with its War on Terror.
Since 11 September 2001, Yemen has tightened security at its borders, improved visa procedures, and worked to develop its cooperation with the United States in the areas of intelligence gathering, law enforcement, and the military. In 2002, US $30 million was allocated to Yemen for security assistance. However, in April 2003, ten suspected terrorists disappeared from a high-security Yemeni prison. Two of the ten were suspects in the bombing of the USS Cole , and the other eight were alleged members of al-Qaeda. Tens of thousands of Yemenis protested the U.S.-led war against Iraq that began on 19 March 2003. The Yemeni government opposed the war in Iraq, but leaders tried to control the demonstrations, afraid the protests could turn against them.
