The University recognises that in order to meet its operational requirements, it may be necessary to transfer a staff member from one position to another within the University.
A transfer is the administrative relocation of a staff member from one position within the University to another position within the University. Notwithstanding any other policy or provisions, the University may transfer a staff member into another position at their current classification level, fraction and duration.
A transfer may be for a defined period or it may be an ongoing arrangement that does not have an end date, except for those staff who are employed on a fixed-term contract of employment. University proposals and requests for transfers will be considered in line with the operational requirements of the University and will occur after consultation has occurred between the staff member and relevant University officers.
This policy outlines the arrangements to be undertaken to transfer a staff member to another position within the University, either at the direction of the University or the request of a staff member.
4.1 This policy applies to all continuing and fixed term staff of the University whose employment is covered by the provisions of the Australian Catholic University Staff Enterprise Agreement 2017 - 2021 (the Agreement).

4.4 Transfers will take place into positions which are classified at the same HEW or MSAL classification level, unless requested by the staff member and agreed by the University.
4.5 A staff member who transfers to another position will retain all of her or his accrued leave entitlements.
4.6 A Professional Staff member who has accrued flexible hours must have a zero balance as at the date of the transfer.

4.9.4 If, following consultation with the affected staff member, a decision is made to proceed with the recommendation, the staff member’s current nominated supervisor will provide a written outline of the rationale for the proposed transfer, details of the consultations with the staff member, and a recommendation that the transfer be approved.
4.9.5 A copy of the Proposal will also be provided to the affected staff member who will be invited to submit any comments to the nominated supervisor concerning the proposal, within 5 working days of receiving a copy.
4.9.6 The Proposal and the staff member’s written comments will be considered by the delegated officer prior to deciding whether to approve the recommendation for transfer.

4.9.8 If the delegated officer does not approve the recommendation for the transfer, they will advise the nominated supervisor and the staff member concerned of this decision.
4.10.1 A staff member may initiate a voluntary request to be transferred to another position and/or organisational unit within the University. The University will consider the request in light of the operational requirements of the relevant units concerned. If a suitable vacancy is available, the University will use its best endeavours to facilitate the requested transfer. However, the University is not obliged to facilitate a staff member’s request for a transfer where no suitable vacancy is available.
4.10.2 All staff initiated requests for transfer must be submitted in writing to the staff member’s current nominated supervisor for consideration.

I believe freedom is another face of happiness; if you’re not free to live the life you’ve dreamed and express your authenticity, you’ll likely be unhappy. Being yourself should be the most simple act, yet for many it’s an utter challenge. When your job, children and dirty dishes all need attention, it seems there’s little time for you, and freedom can feel far away. Also, much of society asks you to be something other than who you are, and tells you that to be yourself isn’t enough.
Finding freedom is a true gift, it means your basic needs are met — you have a safe place to sleep and food on your table — and you have the luxury of following your dreams and expressing who you are.
I see freedom in two ways: freedom from and freedom to. Neither one is better than the other, they’re just different points on the road to happiness. I’ve separated the following tips into these two categories, but the reality is we often move back and forth between them. Likewise, these suggestions can be applied at any time no matter where you are on your journey.
‘Freedom from’ is often the first step on the spiritual path, as getting out of pain is one of the greatest motivators. It includes alleviating things like anxiety, pain, fear and suffering.
Below are a few tools in the ‘freedom from’ category to help you release your past and move forward into happiness and freedom.
Healing requires the courage and patience to feel all the hurt, anger, sadness and grief you’ve endured. By honoring, not ignoring or downplaying, those feelings, you move through them. Through healing, you learn more about yourself and your own needs, rather than pleasing others, seeking approval or simply trying to survive.
When every last tear has been cried there will be space in your heart for what you’ve always dreamed. This will feel much more like freedom and will point you towards happiness.
When you have nothing to lose, as Janis Joplin once sang, it’s much easier to feel free. If you aren’t bound to anything, then no chains will enslave you. I have several friends who’ve taken this to an extreme and can’t have an intimate relationship to save their lives, that’s not what I’m talking about.
You’ve got to let go of attachment: attachment to outcomes, attachment to people and to possessions. People will come and go. Emotions will rise and fall. The best thing you can do is accept the moment for what it is. You may not like what’s happening in it or maybe you will. Either way there is a freedom in accepting what’s beyond your control.
Non-clinging, as the yogis call it, isn’t a one-time action, it’s something you must do repeatedly. Keep up your mindfulness practices and do your best to live in the now.
Letting go of attachment and control are two good practices to be open to the moment and create a sense of spacious freedom. But, if we’re too open it’s easy to become a door mat. You need to develop healthy boundaries. Say yes to the moment, then explore the best way to align yourself in it. Sometimes, the best alignment is to say, “No.” Its much easier, even if it’s uncomfortable in the moment‚ to say “No” up front. When you say “Yes” and don’t mean it you suffer the consequences of re-negging on your commitment or being miserable because you didn’t say “no” when you meant it.
What you think becomes what you speak. What you speak becomes what you create. Every thought, word and action becomes the fabric of reality, so watch what you think and say. This tip definitely works for both ‘freedom from’ and ‘freedom to,’ so I suggest to use it often.
One easy way to alter your reality is to stop complaining. Complaining is a form of resistance to what’s happening in the moment. Much of what happens in the moment is beyond your control and can’t be changed, like the weather. Complaining is a waste of energy and puts you in a negative sate of mind.
‘Freedom to’ is about expansion and boundlessness. Instead of being motivated to get out of suffering, you’re motivated to live happily and to expand into sharing your life and your gifts with others. With the past behind you, your authenticity and confidence grow stronger and you begin to make choices that come from a deep alignment with who you are.
Sometimes you may find yourself back in ‘freedom from’ mode, perhaps when an old hot-button gets triggered, but, generally, you stop living out of a contracted, survival mode and take a giant step into a life of happiness. These tools help in the ongoing process of living mindfully and making smart choices to that end, or should I say beginning!
Pleasure is instant gratification. It’s doing something without thought of repercussion, like eating the whole cake instead of a slice. I recently ate at least 8 small, but rich, pieces of dessert at a party. I knew better, but it tasted so damn good. That was a dead giveaway, that I was choosing pleasure over happiness; I knew better. I was up half the night feeling sick to my stomach afterwards and I was definitely not happy.
An example of choosing happiness over pleasure would be resisting the urge to buy a coffee now to save that $5 for your child’s college fund. You know it’s the right thing to do. Happiness and self-expression come naturally when you listen to that.
My biggest problem here is clutter. I know I’m not the only one. I get lazy and don’t feel like cleaning up. But that mess just waits for me and it sits in the back of my mind. It adds to the ‘to do’ list and definitely keeps me from feeling free.
More stuff usually equals more responsibility. More to clean, more to organize, more to pay for, more to worry about keeping safe. Often, buying stuff and keeping stuff (or not putting it away, in my case) is a way to pad yourself from feeling uncomfortable. If you aren’t happy with yourself, do you really think buying more things will make you happy?
I’m not suggesting you become a renunciate. But I do know that as a spiritual warrior, what matters to you is being with the people you love, not accumulating more things. Just check yourself the next time you go shopping. Do you really need that shirt in both colors?
Periodically take the time to point your ship towards your personal north star. You may be a goal setter. If, like me, you’re not, you can, instead, imagine what you’d feel like or what it would look like to live with the utter freedom to express your self and live the dreams that only you have.
Making a record of your vision/goals is really good way to clarify them and see if you are on track. I like creating a dream journal rather than a dream board. I use a hard back, large sized sketch book and glue my images into it in different sections, like, relationship, career, wellness, travel, etc. Leave lots of empty pages between sections so you can grow your vision over time. Check back with your journal now and then and see if you need to make slight adjustments to go in the direction of your dreams. Write, “Thank you” on things that have already happened and add more images and words to refine your vision.
Without boundaries you can’t really feel that free. If you can just do whatever you want all the time then there’s nothing to differentiate your moments of freedom. If you were perpetually on vacation, for instance, then a vacation might just be a change of scenery, not the sense of freedom that comes from a vacation from work. Set goals and structure to your work, then stick to them.
A boundary can also be a perceived limitation. It’s something you have to push up against, both to know yourself better and to truly grow. If you don’t try things that challenge you, there is no chance for growth. The successes that come from overcoming obstacles and perceived boundaries leave us feeling a radical sense of joy and freedom.

Marcus is a master of changing culture. Every healthcare institution needs to hear his message.
Marcus is awesome on every level. His message resonated deeply with our emergency nurses and we are still applying his concepts.
Our leaders rated Marcus’ presentation a 4.95 out of 5.0!
Marcus was ‘phenomenal’, ‘hit the nail on the head’ and ‘so inspiring’ - just to quote a few members of our 1,000-person leadership audience. Not only did he deliver an incredible message through his story, but Marcus did an amazing job at intertwining the theme of our event throughout his presentation. Thank you, Marcus, for making this our best event yet!
We had the privilege of bringing Marcus to our facilities two times in the last three years. His presentations are highly rated by our staff and we look forward to having him back in the near future!
Marcus recently spoke to our group of over 300 healthcare leaders, and I can honestly say that he was the perfect choice for our meeting. Marcus was able to create a deep connection with all of the attendees through his expert storytelling, use of humor in just the right places, and sharing his deeply personal experiences in a way that moved everyone. Everyone walked away informed, motivated and empowered be part of the I’m Here Movement.
Without a doubt, Marcus is one of the best speakers in the area of healthcare that I have ever heard. I recommend him to anyone looking for a speaker who can inspire new healthcare professionals, seasoned health professionals, or anyone facing adversity (and that would be all of us!).
Marcus’ keynote is the most profound and inspiring healthcare presentation I have ever witnessed. He gave us practical tools and tactics that we can use every day to advance the patient experience. Marcus is a master story-teller who drives to the core why we entered the healthcare profession in the first place – to improve the lives of the patients and families we serve through healing and meaningful connections. Your staff will remember his message for a lifetime.
The audience listened intently to Marcus’ brave, honest and powerful words. He didn’t just hold our attention. He made us grateful that we could get to know the person at the other end of the stethoscope.
Healthcare is tough. Really tough. Of course, healthcare professionals always want to provide top notch service; but bureaucracy, policies, time pressures and the physical, emotional and spiritual demands of the job can leave employees feeling empty. Marcus gets it. The demands are high – and the stakes are higher. It can make the best care giver wonder if it’s worth it. How do we provide excellent care when compassion fatigue creeps in? How do we survive the rigors of healthcare without losing humanity? This is exactly what Marcus brings to the table. With the personal and academic background of an expert, an understanding of the REAL humor of healthcare and the heart of a storyteller that leaves an audience reaching for tissues, Marcus ties it all into an absolutely unforgettable presentation. Audiences are inspired, engaged and reminded of their “why” in this sacred work.
Marcus’ experience as a survivor of massive trauma, author, academic background and engaging teaching style, uniquely combine to make him one of the nation’s premier healthcare thought leaders.
Work overload. Constantly changing policies. Increasing bureaucratic regulations. These are just a few of the obstacles health care providers face every day — challenges that limit the ability to provide excellent patient care. Marcus’ insights will give health care providers new and essential strategies to rediscover the magic and compassion between caregiver and patient.

IN what could be a first in the local showbiz industry, the crème de la crème of Zimbabwean music has pledged to fight for distressed promoter Josh Hozheri to stay afloat.
Hozheri, who runs Pamuzinda Ice & Fire got a baptism of fire, literally, when part of his joint was burnt down in a fire incident a fortnight ago.
He lost thousands worth of stock during the raging inferno. However, top artistes Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi, Alick Macheso, Jah Prayzah and Suluman “Sulu” Chimbetu have all agreed to “douse the fire” that almost saw Hozheri joining the growing list of “former music promoters”.
Mtukudzi and Suluman join forces this Friday in what could be the first step to Hozheri’s recovery.
Commenting on the high profile gig and its significance, Sam Mataure, Mtukudzi’s manager, said Pamuzinda had proved to be one of the most important venues on the live show circuit since Hozheri took it over a few years ago and there was no way they could let it die.
“We are not just chipping in at the right time to see Josh through this trying period, but we are doing it for the venue as well, we need it to stay open and vibrant. This venue takes care of many families and I believe we should do everything in our power,” said Mataure.
Mataure, who also doubles as a drummer for Tuku’s band – the Black Spirits – said the gig would be the band’s first public show in 2016, making it a very important outing for the superstar.
“Promoters and artistes all work together behind the scenes. We have lent him a helping hand since the day we learnt that part of the venue had been destroyed by fire and this show will be just a continuation. The stage is intact, so the show goes on,” said Mataure.
Another top artiste, Sulu, who will be part of this Friday’s show, said Hozheri’s misfortune is his misfortune as well. Speaking through his spokesperson Joe Nyamungoma, popularly known as Joe Local, the Orchestra Dendera Kings leader said Hozheri had not asked for help as they knew what needed to be done as soon as they heard the sad news.
“Mudhara Josh ndewedu, ndiye akatipinza muguta guru saka tomira naye (Big Josh is our friend, he is the one who got us to perform in the capital, so we will stand by him). If it were not for his now defunct Jazz 105 where we grew our brand and got to play for a different upmarket crowd, we would probably have taken longer to break through. We urge all music lovers to come and support this gig, not just for the stellar line-up of ourselves, Tuku and Soul Jah Love, but for the industry, for the venue and for the love of music,” said Sulu.
The promoter himself, Hozheri, praised the artistes for not abandoning him in his time of need.
“While this show will see Tuku and Sulu taking part, supported by Zim dancehall star Soul Jah Love, other top artistes have also pledged to support. I have Jah Prayzah coming here to perform on February 12 and Alick Macheso doing likewise on February 26.
“Their acts of kindness and love have given me a reason to believe in our industry, to believe that we have a role as promoters and that we are appreciated by the people we work with, and the people that we organise these shows for,” said Hozheri.
Hozheri, who used to run Jazz 105, a venue that was popular with music lovers, imbibers as well as artistes, said renovations at Pamuzinda were ongoing.
“We are still rebuilding and these gigs will help in a big way as part of the revenue will go towards the renovations. I want to thank mudhara Tuku and the rest of these top artistes that have literally stampeded to ensure we keep this venue open,” said Hozheri, who is also known as Big Josh.
Sungura king Alick Macheso, who closed 2015 in style with a well-attended gig at the venue, said he had been relieved when he learnt that Hozheri was putting up a fight to keep the venue alive. His public relations manager, Tich Makahamadze, who spoke on the maestro’s behalf, said Pamuzinda is important as it takes care of a very big constituency.
“Every area, be it a suburb, town or growth point has a venue that big artistes such as Macheso, Sulu, Tuku and the likes enjoy performing at as they attract big crowds and at times the venues are strategically located. Pamuzinda is one of those venues and when things are not going well, as artistes we get worried.

Extension Officer at the Banana Board, Henry Graham (right), accepts an application from Seven Rivers farmer, Karen Kellier (3rd right), for participation in the Banana Export Expansion Programme (BEEP) in St James, while other applicants wait their turn. Occasion was an investment forum held recently, at the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) offices in Montego Bay, where farmers and investors were provided with details about BEEP.
The Government of Jamaica is pumping $250 million into a project aimed at revitalising banana production for the export market.
The Banana Export Expansion Programme (BEEP), details of which were provided at an investment forum in Montego Bay recently, is targeted at new and existing farmers in the traditional banana-growing parishes of Portland, St. Mary and St. James.
Funding is being provided under the European Union (EU)-supported Jamaica Banana Accompanying Measures (JBAMS). The Banana Board is the implementing agency.
The $250 million investment by Government will go towards land divestment in priority agro parks, off farm irrigation infrastructure, and farm road improvement. Some $76.5 million will be distributed through JBAMs for material input supplies, Global Good Agricultural Practices (Global GAP) infrastructure, and Fairtrade Labelling Organizations (FLO) certification.
Farmers will receive support from JBAMS in the areas of training, certification, and technology transfer in both production and post harvest management. They will be required to provide 60 per cent of their production cost, while the remaining 30 per cent will be provided through the BEEP.
Farmers in St. James will benefit under the initiative, through several agro parks that are to be set up at Seven Rivers and Sunderland in the parish.
The parks, the first of which will be established in Seven Rivers, will function as incubators to ensure the expansion of production within global standards, and the development of the industry, while preserving its competitiveness for both the domestic and export markets.
At the Montego Bay investment forum, held at the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) offices, the farmers and potential investors were provided with details about the project, including the registration process, cost of production, and market opportunities.
“It is still a work in progress and our forum with you is not only to give you information but also to get back some information from you so that the programme, when we implement it, is the best programme,” said Banana Board General Manager, Janet Conie.
The major components of BEEP include: upgrading of the tissue culture laboratory; facilitating ongoing exports of a single small container of banana; providing financial support through a revolving loan for material inputs required for production of the first crop; providing Global GAP infrastructure for strategic grouping of farmers: storeroom toilet, welfare facility; and facilitating Global GAP and FLO Certifications to ensure market access and premium prices.
The programme will also seek to address disaster mitigation; prevent Moco and Black Sigatoka diseases; and improve access of farmers to the Catastrophe Fund.
A series of natural disasters in the recent past have severely curtailed Jamaica’s banana production and as a result, the banana export market.
Strong efforts to revitalise the export market, due to high international demand for Jamaican bananas, have resulted in new markets in Canada and Grand Cayman, and a scaled back resumption of exportation to the United Kingdom, which was suspended in 2008.

In this new Oxford University study, women with diabetes were found to have a higher risk of having a heart attack compared with men who had diabetes.
"These findings highlight the importance of raising awareness around the risk of heart attack women face, and ensuring that women as well as men have access to guideline-based treatments for diabetes and high BP, and to resources to help them stop smoking", Millett said.
"Overall, more men experience heart attacks than women".
The researchers found the "excess risk" of having a heart attack among women who smoked more than 20 cigarettes compared to women who never smoked was twice as great as that for men.
Overall, men are at greater risk of heart attack than women, but several studies have suggested that certain risk factors have more of an impact on the risk in women than in men. While the increase in risk posed by factors such as smoking and high blood pressure lessened in both sexes as they grew older, the additional excess risk experienced by women was found to persist with ageing.
THURSDAY, Nov. 8, 2018 (HealthDay News) - Smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure: all bad for the heart, but perhaps worse for women's hearts than men's, new research shows.
And women with type I diabetes faced an nearly three times higher relative risk, while for those with type II diabetes it was 47 per cent greater.
The authors believe that theirs is the first study to analyse both absolute and relative differences in heart attack risk between the sexes across a range of risk factors in a general population, but they emphasise that it is an observational study, so no firm conclusions can be drawn about cause and effect.
According to the researchers, the exact reason why these women with the specific three risk factors were at greater risk than men was not known. For example, type 2 diabetes, which is usually linked to poor diet and lifestyle factors, may have a different impact on the female heart to the male one.
Researchers have warned that heart disease is "still under the radar of most women" and called for equal access to treatments.
In an accompanying editorial with the article, experts have said that men may be more at risk of heart attacks but women are more likely to die from heart attacks than men in UK.
"It's a complicated, long-term thing to work out, probably caused by a combination of factors - both biological and social", she said.
The Oxford University team said that unless British women begin to improve their lifestyles, their rate of heart attacks would begin to move towards that of men.
Eating 30 per cent or more of a day's calories after 6 p.m. was associated with a 23 % higher risk of developing high blood pressure and a 19 % higher risk of becoming pre-diabetic. In some cases, there may not be any chest pain at all, especially in women, the elderly and people with diabetes. She said that the major focus was on breast cancer in women now. "This is an important reminder that heart disease does not discriminate, so we must shift perceptions that it only affects men".

Mother Nature held off her thundershowers just in time for 125 eager and fresh-faced college students to claim their award for four years of hard work: A Brevard College diploma.
“The most significant recognition we bestow today is the Brevard College diploma itself -for it signifies a level of education that the vast majority of people in this world, and even in this country, will never have the opportunity to reach,” said Brevard President David Joyce in his welcome to the graduates.
By 10 a.m ., the Betty Neale Academic Quadrangle was filled with the sounds of brass horns piping “Pomp and Circumstance” while a sea of black regalia greeted beaming parents awaiting the college’s 163rd Commencement Ceremony.
With 1,500 chairs filled, graduates’ family and friends made their own seats in the grass and perched on the steps of nearby buildings.
“We come here this morning to salute the outstanding achievements of the graduating Class of 2016, a class that has clearly made its mark on our college in so many important ways,” Joyce said.
This year’s graduating class took the college’s motto – “Learn in order to Serve” – to heart and provided the community with over 13,000 hours of community service in their four-year span.
“To put into different terms, these volunteers saved the county and surrounding areas over $99,000!” Joyce told the crowd.
Transylvania and nearby counties can claim 27 of these newly minted graduates, while the rest traveled from 16 states and five foreign countries (Canada, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand) to make Brevard their home.
During their tenure at Brevard, these students published a children’s book, led a History club that won Club of the Year, spearheaded a campaign to bring sustainably and locally sourced food to the cafeteria, organized a festival honoring Earth Day, put on documentaries addressing girls’ education and gender identity, snagged second place in a regional Rock Climbingcompetition and entertained packed houses on the black box and Porter Center stages.
One female volleyball player became Brevard’s only NCAA-era player with 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs in a career, while one male athlete etched his name all over Brevard’s NCAA-era record book in basketball with 252 assists and 170 steals – the most by a player in a career at Brevard College.
The direct, hands-on experiences and focused reflection these graduates received has led to jobs in the police force, at the local hospital, and two positions with Teach for America.
Brevard College has 730 students and employs 49 full-time faculty and 106 full-time staff.
While most colleges invite a prominent guest speaker to graduation ceremonies, BC stays true to its mission to engage its students in the process and encourage personal growth by choosing two outstanding seniors to speak at commencement.
Jamie Hrobak, a right-handed softball pitcher from Mill Spring, N.C ., and a candidate for teacher licensure, told her peers to have courage in pursuing their dreams.
Hrobak’s speech was followed by an address by Stepheny Hine, a history major and Institute for Women in Leadership graduate from Chapel Hill, N.C.– and one of the two students chosen by Teach for America.
Hine’s fervor was palpable as she told her peers they must make themselves uncomfortable in order to grow. And, she said, if BChas taught them anything, it is that change begins from within.
Hine, who completed her coursework in three years with a cumulative GPA of 3.918, was this year’s recipient of the coveted C. Edward and Brona N. Roy Good Citizenship Award, presented to the graduate who exhibits moral character, citizenship, leadership and a positive influence on campus.
During her time at Brevard, Hine volunteered with local nonprofits Bread of Life and Sharing House, mentored sixth-grade girls atBrevard Middle School, fundraised for suicide prevention and was an organizer for the college’s Sexual Assault Awareness campaign. She logged more than 500 hours of service to BC and the Brevard community.
“Through her leadership and passion, she has become what Brevard College hopes for all students, a citizen of the world who has the willingness to use her voice and stand for what she is passionate about,” said Scott Sheffield, dean of faculty.
Brevard local Natalya Vestal Gryson received the 2016 Presidential Award for Scholarship, given annually to the graduating senior with the highest academic rank. Gryson finished her coursework with a cumulative GPA of 3.968.
Three graduates were recognized with the Presidential Award for Distinction, awarded to graduates who show outstanding leadership, service and academic achievement: Savannah Calvert, a psychology major from Gilbert, S.C .; Emily Crowley, an environmental studies major from Greer, S.C .; and Nicholas Jowsey, an integrated studies major from Auckland, New Zealand.
After the awards came a poignant moment when Sheffield presented an honorary diploma to the family of former student Richard Leill, who passed away on July 8, just after completing his junior year at Brevard.
Leill was a member of the men’s tennis team pursuing a degree in integrated studies with concentrations in communications and political science and a minor in psychology.
“We have placed an empty chair among the graduates with a cap and gown to honor Richie as forever a part of the Brevard College family,” Sheffield said.
And then one by one, 125 seniors crossed the stage and the first of many rites of passage in their lives.
Student Government President Steve Olson’s parents traveled from Chicago, Ill ., to be present for their son’s big day.
Olson, an environmental studies major, took part in the college’s source-to-sea river expedition, Voice of the Rivers, and a summer geology study in Iceland.
Caren Ellisor and her husband, James, drove from Concord, N.C ., to watch their daughter Jamie, a teacher licensure graduate who recently took a position working at BC in the admissions department, walk across the stage.
She has thrived at Brevard due to the size of the campus, Ellisor said.
No longer “Guarded Well by Mountains,” as the traditionalBrevard College hymn goes, the graduates were released out into the world to embrace new lives and new adventures.

As we grow older, we all experience unique changes. These changes may include the loss of a spouse, family members, or friends. We may experience physical decline, loss of mobility, or independence. These changes can often become overwhelming, leading to more serious emotional health issues. Too many times emotional health of seniors is overlooked and its impact on physical healing and independence. The Medical Center at Scottsville recognizes the unique needs of senior adults and the importance of their overall well being.
The outpatient option allows seniors to receive an intensive level of treatment without the high cost or inconvenience of hospitalization. Senior Perspectives is available for older adults living within a 30 mile radius of Allen County. Transportation (handicap accessible) is coordinated by Senior Perspective's staff.

We jointly administer the research and development (R&D) tax concession and R&D tax incentive with AusIndustry.
Before 1 July 2011, the R&D tax concession allowed companies to claim a tax deduction in their income tax return of up to 125% (and in some cases up to 175%) of eligible expenditure on R&D activities.
The R&D tax concession continues to apply and be administered for income years starting before 1 July 2011. As a result, R&D expenditure incurred, and the use of depreciating assets in an income year starting before 1 July 2011, must continue to be claimed under the R&D tax concession.
The former R&D tax concession provisions were contained in Division 3A of Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Sections 73A to 73Z). They were repealed by Tax Laws Amendment (Research and Development) Act 2011.
a 38.5% non-refundable tax offset for all other eligible R&D entities. Unused offset amounts may be able to be carried forward for use in future income years.
The rate of the R&D tax offset is reduced to the company tax rate (currently 30%) for that portion of an entity’s notional R&D deductions that exceeds $100 million for an income year. This change applies to assessments for income years starting on or after 1 July 2014 and before 1 July 2024.

This blog post has been written by Headteacher, Leigh Wolmarans of Lings Primary School. Leigh explains how powerful PE and sport really is when taught correctly.
Many years ago I remember sitting at a very dull conference with many other Headteachers that were finding it equally as dull. It was the same message being driven home with a jackhammer – improve results, improve schools, improve attendance, tackle under achievement – like this is not what we were doing from the trenches on a daily basis!
I was sitting in this conference as the Headteacher of a school that had just become ‘Outstanding’. A school that had almost defied all the odds and broken the mould by breaking every fallacy there is about education. Castle Primary School in Northampton had 75% English as an additional language, 60% of the children had a range of special needs, 45% were on free school meals and it was based in one of the highest social deprivation areas in Northamptonshire. As a school we ignored all these ‘hurdles to learning’ and taught in a creative way that put Sports and the Arts at the centre of our curriculum. When we achieved our ‘Outstanding’ status, the first ever Northampton Primary School to do so, no one knew how we had done it or what the journey had entailed. Our staff knew, our parents knew and our children definitely knew. The tool that started the transformation was – come closer and I will whisper it but don’t tell anyone – sport!
Jump back to that meeting and a lady, who will remain nameless, stood up and said that competitive sport and sport itself in school was having a negative impact on some children’s lives. It was teaching them to fail at a young age and it was putting certain children on pedestals. She went on to make some very generalised statements about the dangers of a sporting culture in schools and it was obvious that she had suffered at the hands of some abysmal sports teaching as a child. Those that know me will tell you that keeping my mouth shut when I hear something that is contrary to my belief and obviously incorrect, is very, very, very difficult. I felt my inner voice trying to jump out and say something. I kept it at bay for a while but it must have found the skeleton key somewhere and it escaped! Before I knew what I was doing I stood up and said, “I am sorry but you are totally wrong”! I think it may have been at this point that some of the delegates woke up, everyone likes a bit of confrontation. The lady looked down at me from her podium and asked me to explain. That was dangerous because those same people that would tell you about my mouth will also tell you that this combined with my passion can result in a very large South African becoming VERY intense VERY quickly.
I went on to tell her that I was born and grew up in Zimbabwe and South Africa where the importance of sport is recognised, nurtured and maintained. I explained that one of the only reasons I ever attended school was the fact that I had to if I was ever going to make the rugby team! I went on to tell her that many of the children that I taught on a daily basis, yes I am a teaching Headteacher and will always will be, were in the same position as I was when I was their age. I continued to explain the impact that sport had at Castle Primary School and how our recent ‘Outstanding’ status was down to the ethos and vision that sport had given the school. I concluded that we could take any failing school and just by starting off with changing the ethos of sport, we could start the revolution and turn the school into a successful place that met the needs of every learner. My closing statement went along the lines of: “We show a piece of literacy and numeracy on a daily basis and tell the children how amazing they are but when they are good at sport we then decide that we cannot tell them because others may feel inferior. It may be the only thing they are excellent at but because you don’t agree with competition we will not celebrate their success”. I sat back and waited for the applause!
I felt like I was on fire and that everyone would be ‘with me’ and rally against what the woman was saying. I was shocked back in to reality when I looked around the room and saw many faces looking at me in disbelief. They were siding with the sport hating lady on stage! This couldn’t be. We had seen the power of sport first hand in our school. I suddenly became professionally aware that not everyone thought the same way as we did, in my naïve brain I felt that everyone held our passion for the transformational power of sport. I left the conference that afternoon deflated and a little bit insecure, perhaps we were wrong, perhaps it wasn’t sport that had started the revolution and it was only in my imagination.
Fast forward to September 2011 and I had just left Castle Primary School to take on the final remaining special measures school in Northampton, a school that had been in special measures for nearly a year and a half. Lings Primary School is based in the Eastern Districts of Northampton and its spreadsheet was similar to that of Castle Primary School. The only notable difference was the fact that there were not as many English as a second language speakers but the free school meals percentage was over 50%. There was also a history of low performance and in July the school had made the dreaded 200 list of worst performing schools nationally based on their very low Key Stage 2 results. There was also a high proportion of low performing white British boys, a trend that we had managed to buck at Castle Primary School. I knew a few things about the school and these things made me very confident for the future. They had great staff who all wanted the school to improve and they were a positive group that had a belief in what the school could do. There were a few members of staff that were passionate about sport and a HLTA that was a force of nature in this department. I also knew that there were some incredibly talented children in the school that just needed this talent to be nurtured, developed, challenged and set free. I remembered my discussion with the anti-sport lady a few years before and decided to put our theory in to practice!
We started by building up an ethos and vision for sport, this has to be the starting point and it needed to be focused on a solid base of behaviour and discipline. Our children needed to understand the importance of what it meant to be a Lings Primary pupil before we did anything else. They needed to have a clear idea of what our purpose was and what we embodied. I was lucky that a boy called Lennon gave me our motto/catchphrase on the first day. He said, “Mr Wolmarans, we are here to set a standard”. I took that statement on my first day and plastered it all over the school, including on a brilliant piece of art as you walk in to the reception area. We made sure that everyone spoke in the language of growth mindset and that it was all about ‘Setting the standard’ in everything we did. Learning and teaching is the key to EVERYTHING so we set about making sure that everyone knew what our non-negotiables in teaching were and how we were going to achieve these. This meant that I went straight in to class and had a two and a half day teaching commitment, teaching sport across the school. This was the starting point as I could get to know every child and would get a chance to see if this ‘sport theory’ actually worked. We also set up as many opportunities as we could. This meant a great structure of after school clubs that were run by staff and quality professionals. I was lucky that I had met many amazing coaches and sportsmen and women in my time at Northampton and all I did was call them and say – HELP!
We also started to tap in to the brilliant clubs, organisations and structures we have in Northampton. As a Saints fan I was on the phone in an instant as I knew that the Saints Study Centre and the activities that they run have a real impact. We also tapped in to the phenomenal work they do with their coaches in schools and programmes they run to highlight the importance of sport. We did the same with the Steelbacks and the Cobblers as it is vital to build strong links with all community clubs. We worked closely with Northamptonshire Sport and Back of the Net to tap in to the high standard of training, coaching and development they offered. We also made sure that we got rid of the ‘transport argument’ quickly by getting a mini bus and training people on how to drive it. We made sure that the children were constantly out and about and were involved in as many competitions, festivals and opportunities as possible. Our answer to any invite was and is always YES! And so the revolution began. It gained momentum, snowballed and turned in to a movement.
What happened was truly remarkable and is the main reason that I am writing this piece. By March 2012 the school had thrown off the shackles of special measures and had become good in every category. We built up a brilliant relationship with an amazing company called Create Development and became a pilot school for their programme real PE, which had a huge impact on our school, we will be one of their ‘beacon’ schools in September 2015. We have built up strong links with so many clubs that it is impossible to name them all. We have a partnership with Northamptonshire Sport that has meant we have brilliant coaches in our school on a weekly basis. Our school became Town Sports School of the Year for two years running and then became County Sports School of the Year in 2014. Lings has gained national recognition for the work that we do with our Change for Life scheme, Virgin Active scheme and the work we do on real PE. The work we do with the School Sports Partnership has had an incredible impact on the standard of what we do and the level of pupil leadership that is evident in our school. We take part in over 95% of all town competitions and work closely with the Northampton Town School Sports Federation and take part in every festival, competition and learn to play session available.
The impact in other areas has been transformational. We have invested in dance and our Strictly Squad have won the town Strictly Tournament and all squads are now through to the regional finals. Our staff now dance on a weekly basis and have taken their medals in Ballroom and Latin. Our results have shot up and we are now above national expectations in every area with many of our children outperforming children in similar contexts. We are jumping over the hurdles of white British boy achievement, pupil premium attainment and achievement and under performance.
And the icing on the cake. This week we have nine different teams through to the Level 3 games ranging from Year 1 to Year 6. This is made more impressive by the fact that it is in seven different sports and no team is the same. This is even made greater by the fact that we are a one-form entry primary school in the Eastern districts. This goes in to the stratosphere when you know that this has never been done before and means that over a third of the school will be representing the town in July at the Sainsbury Level 3 Games.
On Thursday I sat down with Anne Davies, the passionate HLTA I spoke about, and we were at a loss for words. Her son, who also helps out at Lings, sat with us and we tried to put in to words how we got to where we are. It is based on participation first and excellence second. It is making sure that EVERY child gets the opportunities and no one ever feels left out. It is about challenging every child, no matter what their level, and making them realise that it is about developing an attitude to sport and physical development. It is also about seeing that they should love their bodies and what they can do with them and that they should use this ‘machine’ in creative ways. It is about making them comfortable in the skin they are in and giving them a growth mindset to face any challenge that will come their way. It is about ethos, motivation, passion and belief and it is about setting the standard in EVERYTHING we do.
So my original theory of you can change a school by starting with sport seems to have been proved, you have all the evidence to suggest that this hypothesis is true. But I now disagree with this original theory and have adapted it slightly. My theory is now as follows: You need to start by developing a growth mindset on life that is built on a concrete base of morals, discipline and respect. You then need to use the power of Sport, the Arts and creativity to develop all learning equally so that our children become the individuals that we need in our society. So that they can one day enjoy teaching their children the importance of education.
Pick your weapon of change. Ours was sport. What’s yours?

Combining a specific sugar molecule with two drugs can causes cancer cells of various types to kill themselves, according to a study published online in Cancer Research.
The sugar—a modified glucose molecule called 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG)—is readily taken up by cancer cells, which need sugar for growth and replication. But it cannot be broken down like other sugars, effectively starving the cancer cells. This frees up an important apoptosis protein, called Bak, for action. Priming cells with 2-DG before exposing them to the drugs ABT-263/737 that target Bak killed a wide variety of cancer cells in culture, including leukemia, hepatocarcinoma, lung, breast and cervical cancers. In vivo animal studies confirmed that the combination effectively targeted tumors and induced apoptosis. Importantly, sugar-hungry brain cells are unaffected because the drugs cannot cross the body's blood-brain barrier.
"We are now trying to initiate a clinical trial for the combination," co-author Ryuji Yamaguchi, senior researcher at Kyushu University Medical School in Fukuoka, Japan, said in the release. "Since both 2-DG and ABT-263 (Navitoclax) are already in Phase II clinical trials (for other treatments), we know something about the safety of these agents. Once we take precautionary measures, the 2-DG-ABT combination therapy may prove an effective alternative to some existing cancer therapies. We may have found a simple, partial solution to a very complex disease."

OMAHA, Neb. -- The kid from San Diego fired a complete-game, two-hit shutout with the national championship at stake. His Oregon State teammates lifted him on their shoulders as he held the trophy over his head.
And there stood Kevin Abel on the biggest stage in this sport -- an actual stage constructed between home plate and the pitcher's mound in the minutes after he caught Arkansas' Luke Bonfield looking to set off the celebratory dog pile. Reporters peppered Abel with questions. Teammates offered hugs.
Abel caught a glimpse of his parents, Carrie and Rick. They embraced, sharing a private moment amid the most public of all spots, still standing on the infield stage in the aftermath of the Beavers' 5-0 win over the Razorbacks.
"The only word I can come up with for this game is extraordinary," Carrie Abel said. "You want your kids to reach their fullest potential. This is unheard of, as a freshman, to come in and do this, when eight weeks ago he couldn't find the strike zone."
Abel climbed the mound Thursday night at TD Ameritrade Park and delivered one of the most memorable pitching efforts in CWS history. It came less than 24 hours after he threw in relief as Oregon State pulled off a stunning comeback to deny Arkansas a championship, and four days after he worked seven sparkling innings to push the Beavers into the finals through the loser's bracket.
The true freshman right-hander won four games in Omaha, a CWS record and a saving grace for Oregon State, which got nothing close to a quality start from top starters Luke Heimlich and Bryce Fehmel in six appearances here.
"I have no idea," Abel said when asked if he could comprehend the accomplishment.
Pat Casey had an idea.
"It was pretty special," said the 24th-year Oregon State coach, now a three-time national champion. "I mean, Kevin was halfway through the year, [and] we were pulling our hair, trying to get him in the zone because his stuff was so good."
Early in April at Arizona, Abel gave up three runs without surrendering a hit over two innings in relief.
"We just kept telling him how good he could be," Casey said.
Abel got it going, really, in regional play this month with eight innings of shutout work against LSU, the program that knocked the Beavers out of Omaha a year ago.
"I believed in him," said catcher Adley Rutschman, whose play at the CWS was so dominant that he was named the Most Outstanding Player over even Abel. "I know everyone else believed in him. I knew he could do it. It's all mental. It's all mental for him.
"He stepped up to the plate and became such a guy for us."
Abel threw four innings on June 18 against Washington in relief of Fehmel. He gave up one hit and one run, and earned the win, Oregon State's first in Omaha this year. After the three-hit, one-run effort against Mississippi State on Saturday, he entered to start the eighth inning Wednesday night in relief of Brandon Eisert and held the Hogs.
In the top of the ninth, Cadyn Grenier and Trevor Larnach put the Beavers on top.
"I stole [Eisert's] win," Abel said. "He deserved that one."
Kevin Abel tosses nine scoreless innings, retiring the last 20 Arkansas batters faced, as Oregon State wins its third CWS title.
No one else deserved credit for Thursday, though. Not even Rutschman, who collected three hits to raise his CWS batting average to .567 with a record 17 hits in the 13-day tournament.
When it ended with Abel's 10th strikeout, Rutschman raced to the mound and tackled him, football style. The star catcher, after all, played football for the Beavers in 2016 -- he's a place-kicker -- and needed to protect his pitcher from the incoming mass of bodies.
"He took most of it, that's for sure," Abel said of Rutschman. "Yeah, my ribs hurt -- a lot. But I loved it. I couldn't ask for a better group of guys to pile on top of me."
Abel said he went to bed Wednesday with hopes that he could start the winner-take-all finale. He learned of the assignment Thursday. And though Casey said he didn't expect to get more than five innings out of any pitcher in the last game of the season, Abel never thought about leaving.
He ran on adrenaline in the middle innings, he said, but retired the final 20 batters after allowing three of four Razorbacks to reach in the third inning.
"It was stress-free all day," Oregon State pitching coach Nate Yeskie said. "He had to wiggle a little bit in the third. But other than that, it was like watching a throwback performance, where guys pitch on four days rest in the big leagues.
"I'm sure, somewhere, guys like Ferguson Jenkins or Goose Gossage are saying, 'That a way kid.'"
They were saying it Thursday night in Omaha, San Diego, Corvallis, Oregon and everywhere in between.
"I've never done anything like that," Abel said.
In the CWS, perhaps no one has.

Nice combination of go-fast stuff. ES Motors does a great job with this kit. One of my buddy's runs it in the UK and his car is probably faster than mine in the triple digit speeds.
Is it done yet? Look forward to your feedback and race results.
i was thinking of a way to mount the methanol tank, pump and few extra power port and voltage meter to monitor the battery . plus a power socket for whatever need.... and a port to plug the battery maintainer .
Nice to see the new do88 intercooler kit put to good use!
I didn't have much time available to me.
cut and removed the turbo inlet pipes.
Great progress. I am totally digging your garage. Those stock inlet hoses are def small and can be a pain to remove even after cutting. With the do88s, i found it easier to do a pull/push method a bit at a time until they were seated properly. My passenger side one i had to cut a bit (compressor side) to make it fit, drivers side no cutting was needed. Also be careful with the vacuum lines that route down on both driver and passenger. Keep up the great work!
stock ones once cut were a piece of cake to take out.
the do88 ones are not yet to be fitted . .. I'll wash the engine now.
what vacuum lines are you referring to? on top of the DV?
No problem at all, we are all here to help one another. Correct, the vacuum lines that feed the DVs.
I've removed thr plenum , and vacuum lines are running abive it , so I've gathered them both at the middle of the engine. area are wide clear now for inlet tubes to be inserted .
3. fitted the do88 turbo inlet pipes! they were a pain in the back to fit. the only way I was able to do it is to lower the engine around 2 inches by unbolting the rear engine mounts AND spray the hoses with lots of silicone spray lube .
4. I've tried to fit the IPD plenum and failed ! got tired. if anyone has a DIY of fitting the plenum please shoot it.

Boston, MA, USA and Geneva, Switzerland. 4 April 2001.
Software vendors from around the world will come together to demonstrate ebXML at the XML DevCon conference in New York City on 10 April 2001. BEA Systems, Bowstreet, Commerce One, Contivo, Documentum, Fujitsu, IBM, Killdara, Netfish/Iona, Schemantix, Sun Microsystems, TIE and XML Global will together simulate a global, electronic business trading network using publicly available ebXML specifications for Messaging, Trading Partner Agreements and Registry Repository. UN/CEFACT and OASIS, sponsors of ebXML, point to this demonstration as proof of the stability of the ebXML specifications, all of which are now in the quality review process for final ratification in May 2001.
"XML DevCon will be a great opportunity for anyone involved in electronic commerce to witness ebXML in action," stated Klaus-Dieter Naujok of Netfish Technologies, chair of ebXML and member of the UN/CEFACT Steering Group. "These 13 vendors represent the thousands of participants from companies and organizations worldwide who have put so much effort into developing the ebXML specifications."
"As we near completion of our 18-month initiative, we're seeing a tremendous response from the community for ebXML-compliant products," said Bill Smith of Sun Microsystems, member of the ebXML executive committee and a president of the OASIS Board of Directors. "ebXML vendors appreciate that the demand is there, and this demonstration is an important milestone on the road to delivery."
Attendees of XML DevCon will take a step-by-step tour of how ebXML can be used to dynamically formulate trading partnerships through a registry service and exchange electronic business transactions with a consistent XML-based messaging infrastructure. The ebXML demonstration in New York will feature actual payloads from the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG)--although ebXML can be used to exchange any type of business transactions.
In addition to the 13 vendors participating in the XML One conference, Interwoven and Cisco provided software for the ebXML demonstration. NTT Communications, Savvion, Sterling Commerce, Viquity and XMLSolutions also were instrumental in the proof-of-concept development.
ebXML (www.ebXML.org) is an International Initiative established by UN/CEFACT and OASIS in late 1999 with a mandate to undertake an 18-month program of work to research and identify the technical basis upon which the global implementation of XML (Extensible Markup Language) can be standardized. The goal of ebXML is to facilitate open trade between organizations regardless of size by enabling XML to be used in a consistent manner to exchange electronic business data.
UN/CEFACT (www.uncefact.org) is the United Nations body whose mandate covers worldwide policy and technical development in the area of trade facilitation and electronic business. Headquartered in Geneva, it has developed and promoted many tools for the facilitation of global business processes including UN/EDIFACT, the international EDI standard. Its current work programme includes such topics as Simpl-edi and Object Oriented EDI and it strongly supports the development and implementation of open, interoperable global standards and specifications for electronic business.
OASIS (http://www.oasis-open.org) is the international, not-for-profit consortium that advances electronic business by promoting open, collaborative development of interoperability specifications.

I have lived in Harford County most of my life. From childhood to adulthood I have had numerous pets. Each and every one of them has been seen at Hickory Veterinary Hospital. the staff treats my fur babies as their own; each one knows my bulldogs by name. Sometimes animals get nervous going to the doctor, mine act as if they are going to visit friends. All of the doctors have seen my dogs, but Dr.Silcox has spent the most time with them. He ans the staff are highly recommended – Tank and Reagan agree!!
Recently transferred to Hickory Vets very glad we did. Everyone we have had contact with are caring animal lovers. This is expressed in communication with my wife and I and how our pet is treated. Dr Silcox and the staff are great. My wife and I have have utmost confidence in the care our German Shepherd is receiving.
Hickory has been consistently excellent over the years. Caring, compassionate and thorough. It’s a great family-vet. And, if your pet is diagnosed with cancer, Dr. McNesby is amazing. She will talk you through it so you understand the options. And of course she can’t guarantee the outcome but she does everything within her power to make the experience as easy as possible for your pet. You might be surprised to see how good your pet feels, while treatments are going on. Mine actually wags when we arrive!!
I’ve been taking my English Bulldogs to Hickory Vet for 6 years now. I want everyone to know they are by far the most attentive, knowledgeable, caring staff that I’ve every dealt with. There kennel is also great, mostly young girls that offer walks and baths and just are just animal lovers. Its great to go away knowing my dog is in the best hands. One of my dogs had cancer and Dr. McNesby gave her such great care and extended her life with quality years. This is a place I highly recommend to others.
Just had my first appointment with Dr. McNesby and both she and the vet tech, Jenna that accompanied her were amazing! The appointment was for our cat and this was a night and day difference for him. They were fantastic with him, while providing a very thorough exam and rabies vaccination. Very comforting bedside manner putting both you and your pet at ease. All in the comfort of your home.
The value, quality and convenience of service cannot be beat. Hands down we have found our new vet!!!!

Eight years into this parenting gig and suddenly I’m keenly aware of how experiences outside our home have an impact on our kids, and how truly important the influence of family and the Church is.
Sure, we’ve struggled with parenting challenges – going from one kiddo to three in an instant (if you’re the parent of multiples, you know nine months in utero is no preparation at all). Sleepless nights, tandem infant feedings while a toddler demands attention, and the run-of-the-mill things every parent deals with. We all face trials of one kind or another.
Yet what I realize now: We have only scratched the surface. (Cue the “Are you serious?!” faces of the more experienced).
This past month my boys, 5 and 8, each had an issue in school – in part a result of influences by classmates and what they are exposed to in their own homes, but mostly poor choices on the part of my own children. Minor offenses with minor consequences. Life lessons that will help strengthen their still honest character.
Because the incidents happened close together, within a few weeks, I became concerned as only a neurotic parent can (read: obsessing in the middle of the night) about the outside world’s influence. Is this the top of a slippery slope leading to inappropriate song lyrics and video games with violent themes? It keeps a momma up at night.
During subsequent chats with the third-grader, I challenged him to surround himself with people, things and activities that make him better. That lift him up. Make him, ultimately, a better follower of Jesus – because if I can spin a life lesson into a message about Jesus, this girl is doing it. If something pulls us away from God, no matter how fun it may be, it’s not worth it.
The words came out as we sat at a red light, and as I glanced in the rearview (he was still listening!), 40 years of memories flashed through my mind. This is parenting, isn’t it – trying to guide your children onto the right path, so they don’t make the same mistakes you did? Helping them navigate the secular world so they stay out of trouble and grow up into stellar men and women?
The fact that I am talking about “the secular world” makes me laugh. I have never been that mom (although there’s nothing wrong with that!). But it’s a fact of life: The things my children are exposed to and gravitate toward, on the bus, in class, in the lunchroom… it’s all shaping their hearts and minds, and their very souls. Too dramatic? I think not.
Despite my anxiety, I know the influence of family and our Church will win out in the end. Faith, and the foundation we have been building since Day 1 of each child’s life, will keep them grounded and able to come out on the other side of these challenges. They are great kids.
At a recent Catholic women’s conference, I talked with a lovely woman, a grandmother who reminded me of my own mom. We discussed the importance of keeping faith alive in everyday life. It’s not about attending Christmas or Easter Mass (although clearly that’s important). It’s about Sunday Mass every week, and Faith Formation classes, and weaving conversations about faith into regular living. It’s the visual of Rosaries and crosses in our house. And a tiny bottle of Holy Water on our prayer table. She believes it was the normalcy of Catholicism in her own home that built a foundation her children are now passing on to her grandchildren.
Without a strong religious foundation, you have nothing solid to come back to. It isn’t just a matter of childhood; as adults we need to keep strengthening our foundation, to reinforce our faith in order to get closer to God. Wherever we are at the moment, God will meet us. It becomes part of a spiritual makeup you cannot undo. It’s a beautiful constant that makes itself available when you need strength to face the hard things. And we all will.
So our family will navigate the world together and I’ll keep working in our Catholic faith. It’s one of the most effective weapons we have. And when one kid groans, “Mom, why does it always have to be religious,” I know I’m doing something right. It also has a different effect sometimes. As we talked about gifts before Christmas, one of the twins said he knew what to put on mommy’s list. “You like religious stuff,” he said with such love and complete acceptance. Yeah, peanut, I do. And I’m glad you know it.
Do not fear; I am with you; do not be anxious; I am your God.
Karin Gaffney Christensen lives in Upstate New York with her husband, their three children, and a White German Shepherd. A cradle Catholic, Karin has been re-energized by her faith in her roles as wife, mother, and catechist for her parish’s second-graders. Despite the chaos often present in her busy life, she is determined to keep God front and center, and to help her family continue to grow in the Catholic faith.

The saying goes “you are what you eat,” but we don’t really think about what keeps our food healthy enough to be eaten. The focus seems to be on the quality of food we feed the animals we later plan on consuming. Recently, however, the concern seems to be shifting towards the medicine we are giving our food. According to a recent National Public Radio (NPR) article, many years ago the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found that many of the common antibiotics still fed to our animals pose a “high risk” to humans.
From 2001 to 2010, the FDA conducted a study on some 30 types of previously approved antibiotics for animals, such as chickens, cows, and pigs. Of the 30 antibiotics studied, 18 were found to be unsafe for human consumption because of the risk that they could introduce “antibiotic-resistant bacteria.” Since the conclusion of the study, the FDA has done little to nothing to stop the use of these antibiotics on animals, says the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the group who released the documents containing the FDA’s conclusions. According to the NRDC’s report, none of the 30 antibiotics tested would be approved as new drugs if they were introduced today under the 2003 FDA guidelines.
The problem with the antibiotics is that they are not being used to cure the animals of diseases but are instead being used so that the animals eat more and grow quicker. This abuse of the antibiotics creates bacteria that resist the antibiotics and can be transferred to humans who use similar antibiotics to fight disease. This creates a serious problem when there is a disease outbreak and known antibiotics cannot be used as the cure.
As of late, the FDA is beginning to “phase out” the use of the antibiotics as growth stimulants. The FDA has released rules, which prohibit the use of antibiotics for anything other than disease prevention. The new rules also require that a veterinarian monitor all antibiotic use. It is reassuring to see that steps are being taken to guarantee that the foods we consume are safe and healthy because anything labeled “high risk” probably should not be eaten.

No action is requested at this time. HSLDA will continue to monitor this bill and will send out an e-lert if the bill comes up for a hearing.
S. 1722 will increase federal spending and regulations over early education. This will give the federal government more control over schools and young children at the expense of parental and local control.
10/17/2011 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
While S. 1722 will only apply to early education programs in public schools, HSLDA is philosophically opposed to any program expanding the federal government’s control over education. HSLDA believes that the continuing growth of the federal government’s involvement in education is threatening local schools and parents who are trying to do what is best for their individual children. Nothing in the Constitution gives the federal government the power to manage the education of its citizens. Despite this, the federal government continues to expand its role in education at earlier and earlier ages, claiming that such interventions are necessary to achieve academic progress.
The success of homeschooling has demonstrated that the best educational achievement comes when parents can choose the best for their children without federal regulation and control.

A 15-year-old girl is body-slammed to the ground at Flinders Street station by an authorised officer of Metro Trains after she apparently tried to evade paying for a ticket. Her friend, who protested about the treatment, has her head shoved downwards by a second authorised officer, who tells a policeman attending the incident: "I don't care, the skank's not getting another chance to spit on me."
A year later, two youths at Springvale train station are repeatedly sprayed in the face with capsicum foam by Protective Services Officers after one of the youths tried to avoid paying a fare. One youth is charged with assault but, as ABC's 7.30 reported, a magistrate last month acquitted him after finding there was no evidence to support the allegation. Instead, the magistrate found some allegations and evidence presented to the court by one of the PSOs was false.
These aggressive responses by transport security officers have been shown, by the Victorian Ombudsman in the first instance and the magistrate in the second, to be indefensible. They were certainly grossly excessive given the risks posed, and they raise fundamental questions about the training of transport officers and the culture that permeates their ranks.
There is no doubt that officers who patrol the network, whether Metro's authorised officers or Protective Services Officers, face challenging circumstances in their duties. They are often faced with belligerent and occasionally physically hostile members of the public. But gratuitous force is neither an acceptable nor effective response. Indeed, as Ombudsman Deborah Glass says in her report published last week on the incident at Flinders Street, the use of excessive force serves to damage, not buttress, the public's confidence inthe transport system's officers.
Yet force remains "a continuing feature" of the relationship between transport officers and the public; Ms Glass notes Metro's authorised officers made 640 restraints on the Melbourne network last year, resulting in 11 reported injuries. The duty of authorised officers and PSOs is to reduce the threat to the travelling public and, in the case of authorised officers, to ensure the integrity of the ticketing system. There are a thousand ways to handle the myriad confrontations that might arise from petty ticket disputes but they should not involve violent take-downs unless there is a genuinely extreme and immediate threat to safety. Nor should transport officers resort to abhorrent and demeaning language in dealing with the public.
The focus, as the Ombudsman says, should be on defusing and de-escalating conflict. To that end, Ms Glass has made an important recommendation about which organisation should be responsible for training Metro's authorised officers. While Protective Services Officers come under the ambit of Victoria Police, authorised officers have until now been trained by the Department of Transport. The Ombudsman has recommended, and both the department and Public Transport Victoria have agreed, that PTV should conduct the training of authorised officers.
We suggest that, properly done, this may be a route to cultural change. At present, Metro's authorised officers resemble militaristic brigades that are itching to launch, puffed-up and pack-like, on minor transgressors. Their mere presence on trains and stations can serve to intimidate rather than reassure the public. But if PTV can train authorised officers to consider their primary duties as being the service, safety and comfort of customers, then the attitude that engenders anxiety and occasional confrontation with the public might end.

Hi there! A bunch of my friends belong to Kim’s Shoe Dazzle and love the shoes that are hand-picked for them. I can’t say, however, that I’ve tried it myself. I buy way to many shoes on my own, but from what I’ve seen in my friends’ closets, these shoes are definitely a steal.. especially for $40 bucks!
