What are the roles and responsibilities of members of Senate?
Members of Academic Senate, particularly elected members, have a crucial role in explaining Senate and its work to other members of the academic community – and in encouraging colleagues to bring forward relevant matters for discussion at Senate committees. Too, all members of Senate are encouraged to bring to committees their own experience and expertise – as well as the views of the particular group or electorate that they represent (such as the student body or the Senior Executive or a School or Faculty). Nevertheless, as a member of a Senate committee, all members' decision-making and inputs into the committee must reflect the interests of the University as a whole. Beyond this, members' responsibilities are to be aware of the committee's purpose and functions, to be ethical and diligent, and to contribute actively and critically to the committee's discussions and work. Importantly, members should also be the communication point between the committee and the member's School, Faculty, Division or other area regarding the discussions, decisions, policies and other developments in the committee. All this applies as much to Faculty and School committees as it does to University committees and Academic Senate itself.
to comply with the law and University Rules, policies and procedures.
Elected, nominated or appointed members of Academic Senate or one of its committees are encouraged to bring to that committee their own experience and expertise and the views of the particular group or electorate (such as the student body or a School or Faculty) that they represent. However, as a member of the committee, their decision and input into the committee must reflect the interests of the university as a whole. Once they assume membership of the Academic Senate or committee they are subject to the overriding duty to serve the interests of the Academic Senate or committee (Bennetts v Board of Fire Commissioners of New South Wales (1967) 87 W.N. (Pt1) (NSW) 307 at 311 refers).
ensure that a meeting runs smoothly, with discussion and decisions focused on the agenda and decisions to be made in relation to it, and in relation to the terms of reference of the committee and the relevant policy framework.
to work with the Presiding Officer to oversee induction of new members to the committee.
The secretary is not a ‘note-taker’. They will minute decisions rather than discussion, unless some elements of the discussion are required to contextualise the decision. Their role is also advisory, and they will have knowledge of policy relating to the decisions being made, as well as of the procedure for the operation of the meeting.
How can I put an item on the agenda of the Academic Senate?
There are various ways of putting items on the Senate agenda. Probably the best way is first to discuss your issue with colleagues (including your Senate representative and, if needed, the Manager, Academic Senate) and then write a brief paper. There is a template to help you construct your paper on the Academic Senate website. Your paper should, first, explain what your issue is (one or two sentences), then give some background to the issue (a few paragraphs), then raise discussion points (one or two paragraphs) and, finally, make recommendations for policy, if appropriate (as dot points). Once written the paper is probably best 'escalated' through Senate's committee structure (e.g. from School Board to Faculty Board on to the Academic Senate). This will ensure that the issue you are concerned about is fully debated in a collegial way. Alternatively, if it is urgent for example, the issue could be tabled directly at Academic Senate.
The Executive Officer, Academic Senate will receive items for the agenda up to 14 days prior to the next meeting. The agenda is then published on Yammer for members and on the Academic Senate website.
Debate should be focused on the decision to be made, within the context of the policy framework surrounding it and the draft resolution (if included with the agenda) that has been prepared by the secretary and Chair. Draft resolutions may be rejected and/or amended by the committee in the course of the meeting using the rules surrounding motions (see the Rule for the Conduct of Meetings of Academic Committees).
Academic Senate is scheduled to meet five times per year. Meetings are conducted on a rotational basis at the Bathurst (2 meetings per year), Albury-Wodonga (1 meeting per year) and Wagga Wagga (2 meetings per year) campuses. It always meets face-to-face, not by videoconference.
The travel and accommodation expenses of the Presiding Officer, Deputy Presiding Officer and student members of Academic Senate are paid for from the Academic Senate budget.
The Executive Officer, Academic Senate liaises with the student members of Academic Senate about their travel and accommodation requirements before each meeting and makes any necessary bookings for them.
The travel and accommodation expenses of all other members of Academic Senate are paid for from the relevant primary cost centre budget.
Apologies are accepted up to the day of the meeting by email or phone 84746 to the Executive Officer, Academic Senate.
See the Group Guidelines and Committee Guidelines for general considerations around successful committee and group work.
In most universities, collegiality is considered a key driver of committee work. However there is not always a clear understanding of what collegiality means. In the context of academic governance, it means more than a broad range of people having a say in decisions. Collegiality is also the basic underlying model of all academic work, and is closely aligned with the idea of peer-review. In academic governance collegiality is about applying the collective oversight of the ‘academy’ to key university decisions. It is only in this way that the academic quality of a decision can be assessed; quality is by definition a decision of the entire academy, both within an institution and between institutions, nationally and internationally.
As detailed in the Committee Guidelines, committees function best when they have detailed and considered options put before them, where possible containing input from the stakeholders to the final decision. Committees function best when they are the pointy-end of distributed discussion and decision processes; their role becomes to make final decisions, based on options gathered from the distributed process. At CSU the Academic Senate includes many sub-committees, including those that operate within the Faculty, such as Faculty Boards, School Boards, Faculty Courses Committees and Faculty Assessment Committees. This distributed network of committees allows every member of academic staff the opportunity to consider and advise on decisions. All of these committees collectively are ‘the Senate’ of the University.
The efficiency and effectiveness of committees is paramount, to prevent a waste of staff time and effort. Governance committees operate using a formal framework, including some formal meeting procedures, and this formality is not ceremonial but rather a mechanism to ensure that workable decisions can be made, in the shortest time possible, while respecting the need to allow all members to make a contribution, irrespective of their position within the University. In governance committees, all votes have the same value. Committees should also be reviewed periodically, to ensure they are fulfilling their terms of reference and to make changes as required to adapt to changing circumstances.
Committees act within a policy framework. The outcome of the governance decisions of the committees is often captured in the policies of the University, and so members will be asked to consider questions from within the framework of these policies. The policies act as the ongoing collective memory of the institution, in governance matters. Committees are not general discussion forums, they have specific governance functions to achieve.
Members of committees have important responsibilities in the communication of their decisions and roles, to other members of the University.
Universities were originally governed exclusively by academic boards, and these have been supplemented over time with corporate governance requirements. Today corporate governance is the model used to govern most universities, but with an associated requirement that academic activity and quality continue to be governed via some form of academic governance arrangement. The reason for this is mostly the nature of the work of universities themselves, which is intrinsically collegial in character as a result of the peer review that is at the heart of academic knowledge production and assurance.
There is no way to bypass the requirement for peer review in assessing both the quality and veracity of academic knowledge, and therefore it must be evident in some way in a university’s governance arrangements. The relationship between corporate and academic governance is often described as working best when there is a productive tension between them. This is because on many academic issues there will be a collective academic view that will not necessarily be unified, and there will be economic and other factors that a university must take into account as an ongoing concern. Balancing all of these requirements is the task of governance, a university without sound corporate governance could not continue to function, but without academic governance it will cease being a university. The two complement each other.
the role of the committee secretary, and use of agendas, minutes and action sheets.
leave of absence for members.
Governance Services in the Office of Governance and Corporate Affairs (OGCA) will organise the setting up and ongoing running of official University governance committees. Some of these committees will be serviced by staff outside the OGCA, such as School Boards. The OGCA will advise such staff of the requirements.
All Australian universities are required to have academic governance arrangements in place, as part of their authority to operate, from government. Currently (2017) all universities centre these arrangements around an Academic Board or Academic Senate, normally a sub-committee of the university’s governing board.
The Governance (Academic Senate) Rule 2006, No 6.
In addition the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2015 contains academic governance requirements that all Higher Education Providers must meet. The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency has legislated responsibility for regulating the application of the Standards in universities, as well as registering universities more generally across a range of requirements, to allow them to operate.

For many people, their perception is their reality. But when it comes to leadership and advancement in the workplace, a recent study illustrates how people working in the same office -- even sitting next to each other -- can have two highly divergent views. This is especially true when it comes to ideas about the gains that women have made in the working world.
LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Company recently released their annual Women in the Workplace study. Researchers surveyed 12 million people employed by 222 companies about their HR practices, as well as 70,000 employees about their experiences at work dealing with topics such as career, gender, opportunity and work-life balance.
Female workers are 18 percent less likely to be promoted than their male counterparts, according to the report. However, in addition to the disparity in compensation and promotion between men and women, there is also a sizable perception gap between the genders, the researchers found.
The numbers tell the story: Thirty-seven percent of women surveyed agreed with the statement, “My gender has played a role in missing out on a raise, promotion or chance to get ahead,” while only eight percent of men said the same. Fifty-seven percent of women agreed that they “have equal opportunity for growth as [their] peers,” while 62 percent of men reported the same.
Forty-nine percent of women (vs. 63 percent of men) said, “my company is doing what it takes to improve gender diversity.” And while 58 percent of women reported that gender diversity is an important priority, only 47 percent of men agreed.
Even women’s perceptions contrast sharply with reality. When considering companies where only one in 10 high-level leaders is female, roughly 50 percent of men said they thought women were well represented in leadership. Yet a mere one-third of female respondents said they found women to be well represented when presented with this same one-in-10 ratio.
If perceptions differ so starkly when it comes to what must be done to create an equitable workplace, think about what other divides might exist between you and your co-workers or employees. You might have opposing views on the direction in which your company is going, who your customer is or what product will make the most impact.
As you grow your business and hire new members to your team, make sure that you are in constant communication about top priorities and values -- and work to get everyone on the same page to move forward.

You hear a lot about how to prevent elders from falling, but what about the rest of their safety needs? Especially when they have memory loss. Much has been written about memory care for elders provided in continuing care facilities, but very little has been written about how to provide successful memory care in the home. All of the elements in the above article need to be created in the home by an adult child, home care agency and caregiver or Geriatric Care Manager.
The idea is that an elder’s memory loss will usually advance to the point where they are no longer safe to remain in their home. But, we know that most elders heal and live better in their own homes, especially when they suffer from memory loss. And that with a caregiver’s assistance, elders go on to lead happier, healthier lives at home. Home care is less expensive than facility care as well.
Below are some tips for how to keep an elder with memory loss safe at home.
It is important to never talk down to an elder. And to always ask them what they would like, regarding their care or what they would like for lunch. This gives an elder a say in all aspects of their care and eases the confusion and agitation of elders with memory loss who fear loss of control.
Speak slowly to elders with memory loss. Their brains are working slower, as well as their hearing and other functions. It takes longer to process less information than those without memory loss. Only discuss one subject at a time and limit the agenda for the conversation to prevent overwhelm. Introduce one subject at a time to prevent overwhelm. Avoid jumping around in conversation.
Ask the elder how they are doing. This creates the right flow for any conversation. Even if they say, “What do you care? I say, “But I do care and I understand if you don’t want to talk about it or talk at all.” Silence. Then, they talk about what they want to: “So, what’s new with you these days?” It is good for their social skills and for their brain, not to mention their hearts that are lonely and often feel no one really cares.
Be silent when you cannot think of anything to say. Be silent when you think an elder needs you to be. This creates trust with an elder and much needed silence, especially after talking when their brain needs to process information. If you keep talking, turn on the TV, or move to another task quickly, they will lose a lot of what was just discussed.
Write things down for elders with memory loss. Create a task list for the entire care team to use: elder, caregiver, family member. Provide them with a copy of it and assign tasks you know they can handle/prefer to handle. Ask them if you can call them on a set date to check in about the tasks and invite them to do the same with you as desired. Provide summary dictations of these meetings to elders as desired and summaries of doctor’s appointments provided by their offices at an appointment. It becomes a living medical and social record that helps combat their fear of being taken advantage of and they can refer to it as needed. This is a huge stress relief when you have memory loss. They color code them, apply their own notes to them. It becomes their memory.
Calendaring is where’s it’s at for elders. Calendar everything on a master calendar in the elder’s home that includes caregiver schedule, doctor’s appointments, visiting clinicians. Ask the caregiver to notify you if there are any changes to the schedule to prevent issues. Plan transportation around. When an elder insists on managing their calendar even though they are not capable of such, calendar with them in person to ensure accuracy. Or work with a competent caregiver to help them manage it at home with the elder.
It’s important to safety proof an elder in their home with a life alert pendant, home safety assessment, cell phone/charger if they or a caregiver are able to operate it for outings. It’s important to safety proof an elder’s form of transportation. What may be a stressful breakdown or flat tire for an elder without memory loss, becomes a mental breakdown for an elder with memory loss. Assess whether the elder is wandering. Make sure all emergency contacts are up to date and that contacts have copies of medical documents on hand to make urgent medical decisions.
Program phone numbers into cordless phones and cells, maintain a good address book for the elder, post an emergency contact sheet on the fridge. Make sure phone bases are working, stock extra batteries for cordless phones. Keep a calendar, pens, notepad by the phone to capture phone calls. Make sure mail is sorted correctly and that bills are paid on time to help with household maintenance.
A well-stocked fridge and pantry, good supply of Ensures, and excellent meal planning make all the difference for elders. A caregiver’s assistance with grocery shopping, home cooked meals, and eating with an elder all greatly assist an elder with memory loss in a host of ways. The benefits range from increased interest in food and intake, to necessary weight gain, to the many social benefits of eating with another.
Refrain from telling an elder with memory loss you know how they feel or must feel. You do not, unless you have had memory loss and not even then. Instead, you can say something like, “I am sorry you are suffering with memory loss. It must be so frustrating to not remember things. I know you said you are embarrassed by it and I want you to know you should not feel embarrassed around me.” Then, they will tell you about it.
It is no easy task to keep an elder safe at home. There are many types of safety that an elder requires but the sad truth is that most elders do not have the support they need, and also, most adult children do not have the training they need to keep their parents safe. If you continue to consult with articles like these, search online and locally, and consult a Geriatric Care Manager for an assessment of your elder, you will acquire the skills and tips you need to keep them safe.
The most powerful thing you can do for your parents is to encourage them to always call you, pick up the phone when they call and visit them in their home often enough to keep them safe. If you live at a distance, you can still do this with the assistance of great elder care providers. It is doable and manageable. And it’s important enough to give it your best shot. Your parents will always thank you for keeping them safe. And you will be able to sleep at night.

A long time ago, right after I finished my postdoctoral training, I took a job with a large pharmaceutical company to see what earning a decent salary felt like. One day after I'd been there for several months we had our first crash program where we all were supposed to drop whatever we had been working on and turn our efforts to solving a big problem related to developing a new product. Not to be technical, our organic chemists had developed 25 steps of a complex synthesis of a new antibiotic. They were stuck on the 26th step, so they turfed the problem to someone else, the group of biochemists and bacteriologists I was in. My job was buying a bunch of enzymes from Enzymes R-Us (to be honest, the company was named Sigma, but doesn't Enzymes R-Us have a certain ring to it?), and testing all of the enzymes at random to see if any of them could make that elusive 26th step happen.
A week or so later the enzymes arrived and it was time for me to do something to earn my paycheck. The day before I ran my first experiment in this crash program, I stuck my head into my older and wiser colleague's office. He had been helping me adjust to life in the real world, rather than the ivory towers of academia, by giving me advice on what was expected of scientists in this setting. I asked something that translated into: "Should I just go through the motions, or should I do things very carefully, like I was doing a real experiment?"
"Do it carefully and do it right," he advised. "Later on when nothing has worked for anybody and they still can't do that 26th step they'll be looking for someone else to blame. You don't want it to end up being you."
In this particular case, doing it right meant that each experiment had several controls run with it. For each enzyme tested there would be a tube with everything added including the enzyme and the stuff that had to be changed in the 26th step, everything added except the enzyme, and two more tubes just like them that were boiled in water to inactivate the enzyme before running the reaction. After the reaction was over all of the tubes were put on ice to stop any reactions occurring, and a sample was analyzed overnight so we'd have an answer the next morning.
The net morning I got in at my usual time, a bit earlier than the rest, and casually checked the analytical results. Wait a minute! Something had to be wrong! I had a 20-25% yield of the desired product in all of the tubes. It didn't matter if I boiled the enzyme first; it didn't even matter if I left the enzyme out altogether. Just mixing the stuff together in a tube and leaving it overnight seemed to be enough. All of a sudden, doing it carefully and doing it right was going to pay some unexpected dividends. As people trickled in the word spread, and I got my nickname that would remain attached for the rest of the year I spent at the drug company, "Lucky".
For the techies who read this, the 26th step that eluded the organic chemist's expertise was a simple reaction called hydrolysis, adding the parts of water to the larger molecule. The magic ingredient I added to all of the tubes was plain water, which was easy to show the next day. The chemists had never tried water for this reaction, it turned out, because theoretically it would prefer to cause an undesirable side reaction and they believed too much in the theory to test it. I ended up with a US patent and several international patents, now expired, and a paper published in a prestigious chemistry journal to make the new antibiotic using water as a reagent to cause a hydrolysis reaction. Weird!
What's the point? The old cliche that says "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right" is indeed still alive and well. Keep saying it over and over when you try to decide whether the manuscript you've worked on over and over until you're sick of it deserves one more round of editing. It usually does.

Strength, Endurance, Flexibility: These are the 3 pillars of fitness and together they form the foundation of one’s fitness level. To be considered physically fit, or healthy, you must demonstrate ability in all three areas. In other words, exercise needs to incorporate cardio, strength training and stretching. Being physically active is important for many reasons. It provides an outlet for stress and helps to reduce stress reactions. It calms the mind, improves mood and builds confidence. Exercise maintains our physical health and thereby reduces injury, chronic health problems and mortality. Physical fitness prevents disease, improves survival and contributes to wellbeing. It is an integral part of health and plays an important role in detox.
Being physically active improves circulation and increases the removal of waste products. During a detox, you are clearing out stored toxins and thus increasing your waste production. This waste is collected by the body and filtered in a number of ways. The lymphatic system is one of those ways and it works with the circulatory system to clean our blood and lymph. The lymphatic system is a collection of our lymph, organs like our thymus, tonsils and lymph nodes and the vessels that connect these organs and move lymph through them. Lymph is essentially a mix of nutrients, old blood cells, blood plasma and waste from our cells. It gets moved through the lymphatic system mostly by the movement of the muscles and joints around it. We must move our bodies to clean them. We need strength to use the muscles, endurance to keep them moving and flexibility to encourage the flow of lymph. Exercise that incorporates all 3 pillars of fitness is a great way to improve your fitness and help your body detoxify.
Within your personal limits, check yourself against the following list of activities. See what you can do and use them to create fitness goals. Everyone has their own limits and goals. It is important to pay attention to your personal needs. If you have any health conditions or concerns about these or other activities and your health, consult your physician before attempting.

World War III began on the quiet streets of Marrakech, Morocco. Now, if you’ve been there, or read about it, or seen any of the plethora of movies that were filmed there, you would know that the streets of Marrakech are the opposite of quiet. In fact, it is a destination that psychiatrists should send anxiety victims: they would either adapt and realize that back home isn’t so bad, or die. Adapt or die. The basic Darwinian principle. Anyway, back to the World War, the war to end all wars…wait that’s what Wilson said of the first world war, and though a great president and scholar, he was grossly mistaken.
At this particular time, Rue el Gza was unusually quiet. The donkeys pulling their rickshaws, the men playing checkers with bottle caps, the children learning the art of thievery, none were there. The bread vendors spilling onto the already overcrowded street were shut down. The bicycles and barely running motorbikes were parked. Quiet. Eerily quiet, like waking up near Niagara and hearing nothing. Something is wrong, terribly wrong. Then, she saw why. The pretty blonde that had called this street home for the last three weeks, three long weeks, now knew why the buzzing and bustle and rumble of Rue el Gza was gone.
As she walked up the hill from her hammam, a final present to herself on the last day she would call this place home, and perhaps the best experience she had in all her time here, she saw them. All of them. The street was blocked. She was but 150 meters from home, yet 1400 years away. 1400 years of Islam stood, or rather sat, between Susan and her home. She just wanted to get to her riad, gather her belonging and go. That’s all. She was tired. Tired of this place. Tired of always having to say “no” to “friendly help” because it was anything but friendly. Tired of always being on guard. She just wanted to go, to leave this place forever. But fate had other plans. She could not pass. Rue el Gza was closed, or at least this stretch, because there were 2,700 Muslims sitting in prayer. Of all the places in the city, today, this group chose this stretch of road.
On her approach, she was stopped by several children who insisted she take a left down a smaller road. “It is this way, you can go this way, go around.” They all said. These children should be in school. The same children that beg for money every day. Susan ignores them and brushes them off as always. You have to. You learn that you have to. She keeps walking. Then a man stops her. He claims to be Muslim with dark sunglasses, greasy hair, olive skin worn down by the sand and the heat. He is in his thirties and could use a hammam or two. He tells her she cannot pass. She must go around, this way. The same way that the children said. But how does she know? He could be lying. Everyone else in this town lies. They all say, “The square is this way,” when in fact it is not. They just lead you a different route and demand money. Why should she believe this guy? Because nearly 3000 other people are praying? No. She shouldn’t. I wouldn’t. She tells the man that she is going through. He insists that she can’t. He was never nice about it, but now he is rude. He raises his voice and says that Islam is the greatest religion in the world and she cannot pass at this time. She must go around or wait until the prayer is over. She says, “Ok, I will wait,” and turns around. She retreats 50 meters or so, out of the reach of the swindling children and the brash man. She waits quietly, disturbing no one. Waiting. Waiting on a prayer to end. Waiting to leave this dreadful place.
Just like the assassination of an Archduke of Austria started the first world war, the wicked smile and wit of an American girl in Morocco started the last.

FILM at the Erie Art Museum has, in the past three years, made itself a strong presence in Erie's downtown art scene. Curated by award-winning filmmaker John C. Lyons of the Film Society of Northwestern Pennsylvania, the series has drawn audiences of nearly 75 people a week, hitting the maximum occupancy of 200 on more than a few occasions. They've brought a Special Preview Screening, an East Coast premiere, eight Pennsylvania premieres, and 18 live Q&As to the region.
If you haven't been to a showing yet, now is your chance.
Kicking off their third season, FILM at the Erie Art Museum will include "…four French films, two hard-hitting sports documentaries, two panel discussions, one filmmaker Q&A, and a number of Oscar nominees, including Whiplash, which will be followed by a live performance by jazz band, The Monk's Brew," according to Lyons. The series will also reach 100 screenings with the film Pierrot le Fou on March 11.
With affordable ticket prices (only $5!) and ample, comfortable seating, there're a lot of good reasons to attend. There are also food and drink options available, and some of the events include free samples of the area's culinary talent. The series isn't limited to cinephiles, either; anyone that enjoys movies and film is encouraged to attend. So head down to the Erie Art Museum this season to catch some great flicks.

August 2017 Visa Bulletin: EB-3 Continues to Advance, But EB-2 Retrogresses - Steel, Doebley & Glassman, P.C.
The State Department has released the August 2017 Visa Bulletin listing the priority dates eligible for “Application Final Action,” i.e. when an I-485 adjustment of status (AOS) application may be approved or an immigrant visa (IV) issued, and the priority dates eligible for “Filing Applications,” i.e. when an AOS or IV application may be filed.
As of August 1, 2017, most of the “Final Action Dates” in the family-based categories will remain stagnant, although the family-based second category for spouses and children of Lawful Permanent Residents (F2A) will advance from one to four weeks for all countries. In addition, for nationals of Mexico and the Philippines the “Final Action Dates” in each category will advance from two to six weeks.
As predicted last month, the EB-2 “Final Action Date” for all countries (except China and India) will retrogress significantly to April 1, 2015, and will remain backlogged for the rest of the fiscal year. The department expects this category to become current again when the new fiscal year begins in October 2017.
On the bright side, there will be continued forward movement in the employment-based “Final Action Dates” in the EB-3 category, highlighted by a one year advance for nationals of the Philippines. The EB-3 date for “worldwide” and Mexico will become “current” in August and EB-3 India will advance three months. However, the EB-3 date for Chinese nationals in the “other workers” sub-category (for positions requiring less than two years of experience) will retrogress to nearly three years to January 1, 2014.
With regard to the “Dates for Filing,” there will be no movement in the family-based categories. In the employment-based categories, EB-3 India will advance three months and EB-3 Philippines will advance seven months.
As a reminder, the “Dates for Filing Applications” are valid only for consular processing immigrant visa applications. USCIS makes a separate determination whether to allow the filing of AOS applications under the “Dates for Filing” chart or the “Final Action Dates” chart in the visa bulletin. USCIS has determined that the “Final Action Dates” chart must be used for both family-based and employment-based adjustment of status filings in August 2017.

What you see above is the view that greets you after you walk through the clubhouse at Sherwood Country Club. This is the green view of No. 18.
Seeing Torrey Pines for the first time and seeing Sherwood rank as my most memorable California golf course first impressions. At Sherwood, you can’t help but just stand there, take in the scene and then begin to contemplate what it’ll be like walking down that 18th fairway. And then when you do it, it completely delivers on the experience.
No. 18 could well decide the tournament on Sunday as Tiger takes a two-shot lead into the final day of the final World Challenge at Sherwood, where Woods will seek a sixth title.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching this event on TV the past three days and found especially entertaining the travails the field had at the par-3 No. 15 on Saturday (11 balls in the hazard, making it the course’s toughest hole).
No. 18 doesn’t seem to trouble the pros too much, despite a tight tee shot. Tiger in particular has been content to fly a 3-wood to 160-170 yards or so and play from there.
But the second shot is what makes this hole so memorable. What golfer wouldn’t want to be looking at this for a second shot? Isn’t this the challenge we all live for?
It’s about as pretty as it gets, but daunting as well. The day I played, my drive found the right rough of the fairway. I had a clear shot at the green, but I was very leery of the water. The last thing I wanted was to execute the drive and then rinse my approach. So I clubbed up and hit a fabulous 4-iron that carried to the back of the green. It was a club more than I needed, but I was dry.
That approach shot replays in my head every time I see the 18 green on TV. Yes, it was one of those shots.
From the replays, I expect the pin position to be in front today, as it was the day we played. That left me a super slick downhill that I mishit and then I lipped out my par putt. Oh, well. Being on in regulation was one satisfying feeling and rates among my better golf accomplishments for the year.
But enough about me. Let’s give credit here to the designer, Jack Nicklaus, and his fabulous creation. Check out sherwoodcountryclub.com’s hole description to gain a little more appreciation for No. 18.
Nicklaus calls the 444-yard par-4 eighteenth hole the finest finishing hole he has ever created. The tee shot is blind and must be played down the left side allowing the left-to-right slope to take the ball to the middle of the fairway. A mid-to-long iron approach awaits.
The second shot must be played to a multi-level green that presents an extremely visually intimidating shot. The green is protected in front with a rock-filled pond that flows into a waterfall on the right and is connected to another waterfall and stream on the left leaving very little room for error short of the green. There is also a bunker on the left that will catch balls that are missed slightly left. The back right portion of the green is protected by the waterfall, a deep pot-bunker, and a deep grass-bunker. Most shots left short of this green find the water, but balls over the green face a chip or pitch from the deep rough to a green sloping away from the player, taking the shot right back toward the bunker and water.
This is truly a classic finishing hole that ranks as one of the finest in the world.
I’ve hardly played everywhere in the golf world, but I don’t know of a finishing hole I’ve played that rates above it.
So take a minute to appreciate No. 18 today and lament that we might not see it on TV again. It’s a masterpiece to play and a wonder to watch and a hole that can’t help but make you love this great game just a little more.

From August 27 through September 7, the EUMASLI 3 cohort gathered in Helsinki for a final two-week block seminar.
Many of the teachers contributed to a one week module on research methods, culminating in an academic “speed dating” event. Discussions help students to develop their research questions for pilot study projects that will be presented in Antwerp on November 22/23, 2018.
Liisa Halkosaari, Jens Heßmann, Jemina Napier, Rachel Rosenstock, Graham Turner, Svenja Wurm, and special guest Myriam Vermeerbergen gave valuable pointers to help students shape their research ideas and develop their projects.
The second half of the block was spent learning about and practicing interpreting between English and International Sign. A boat trip and a picnic at the pet cemetery (yes, you read that right!) rounded out the week.

Wow, a pack of cigarettes at Walmart is $8.00. That's a carton for $80.00. I can assure you I'm not interested, but you could buy a bag of weed for $80.00. If this doesn't encourage someone to quit the sticks, what will?
I'm just glad I quit 7 years ago.
This is horrible, what is happening to the price of cigeretts. What are these people thinking.
Seriously, if the price keeps going up more people are going to quit. Who is going to replace that lost revenue generated through cigerette taxation?
Asterix, you ask who is going to replace that revenue that would be lost if people quit smoking. You said you and me. It won't be me because I feel they will start taxing that $80.00 a bag stuff. Sounds far fetched? I don't think so because back in the twenties they had prohibition on booze. People were bootlegging it and selling it illegally. So they made it legal and taxed the stuff. Now there's prohibition on pot, but lots of people are smoking it and selling it on the black market illegally. Bootlegging it. It is a multi-billion dollar business. Bingo, they'll eventually make it legal and tax the stuff. I believe history has a way of repeating it self.
I have a feeling that this is just a sample of things to come. Between duffus doyle, obama and the rest of the tax and spend democrats we will be seeing a lot of tax increases on everything that they can think of. After all, the banks and the big corporations need the money.
Do all of you feel a lot better now that obama appoligized to the world for us being such bad people and all the terrible things we have done.
Do you sometimes feel this way ?
My son asked me yesterday if i was gonna quit smoking now that the price went up.. I told him "no" now I am mad... I lost a lot of family members at a young age and none of them died from smoking related illnesses.. I am so sick of people thinking that smoking is the only thing that can wreck your health.. No one lives for ever and I tell you one thing.. not many people live to be even 75 with out some major health problem.. and most health problems are not smoke related.
Raising the price of things sky high will stop some people from smoking but.. hey.. I haven't been able to even afford to go out to eat a nice T-bone for a long time either.. just another pleasure someone is trying to take away from me.
Ahhhhh the freedom of the good U.S.A.
Only the wealthy are free to do as they please.
How high the tax is not near as interesting as the hypocrisy of it.
The biggest proponents of the tobacco tax are the same people that claim to be the champions of the poor people. How ironic is it that it is a well-documented fact that the tobacco tax hits these very same poor people the hardest.
I have always been against the tobacco taxes for that reason. I am much more in favor of outlawing tobacco all together. But then again you would be just adding it to controlled substance list and people would ignore the laws and use it anyway.
I quit smoking 35 years ago after years of a 2 1/2-pack habit a day. And I was very, very lucky because I just did not find it all that hard to do. I was motivated in part by the price having gone to 50 cents a pack, or there about. At $8 a pack I think I would find it ever easier!
I was to Arkansas last month and the increases have hit both Arkansas and Missouri as well so it is not just Wisconsin. I saw a sign while passing a Walmart that advertised them at about $60 a carton in MO.

I have joined today to start my new quest.. to once again own and play in a gt. i had a p12 gt with high miles but sweet engine.
I broke mine and had to sell it as scrap, it still hurts. the gearbox blew while 'playing' with a m3 mind u it did have an idiot driver in it, you know the ones who can hit the throttle in a straight line but when it comes to cornering and keeping the line....... he was crap.... he did leave laughing as i wimpered....... as gear oil slowly oozed from my baby.
that was 2 years ago, i havent had the dosh to go find another gt in the condition i want it.
is the p11 or p12 the better to drive, ie tuck in and hold!!
what mods should i steer clear of if its not me whos fitted them?
any tips on sorting a stronger gear box, i understand they can be weak, ha ha.
where is a good place to look for sweet ones as they are becoming rare now..other than ebay!!
many thanks all and hope to be driving a gt soon............ i do need help cause i am stuck with a volvo.................!!
I have read on here lots of posts most seem to say saloon is better, but also more rare.
yea read for sale posts am still looking.
any idea how many of these are out there, i mean was it only 400 made again?
any heads up on where these are up for grabs would really be app.
Grim - you wind up! I think you already have a queue of people for the Ginger (incl me!).
thedukes055 - good luck with the search. Can you see the cars for sale section - not sure whether you can or can not see it if you are not a paying member.
search the normal places autotrader ,piston heads, ect. wouldnt worry about mileage to much as cars of this vintage need jugdeing on there own merit rather than mileage ect.

i have been looking at those will keep looking.
ok thats one to far but am just gonna wait.

Coconut is another food that’s brought controversy to the health and fitness world. Some advocate its plant-based buttery fat, even going so far as to proudly announce how much they slathered into their morning coffee, while others decry how eating its saturated fat is a one-way ticket to a heart attack.
Ubuntu Fitness likes to use the ancestral lifestyle as a template (for now, as science is constantly evolving) and our opinion is that when it comes to a healthful diet, many answers lie in genetics and how our environment influences our bodies.
Coconuts are ubiquitous in Southeast Asian diets, with India the third largest producer (behind Indonesia and the Philippines) at 7.6 million nuts annually (1). I was pretty surprised to learn before the 1940s, Americans relied heavily on coconut oil as a major source of fat in their diets (1), yet the increased popularity of seed oils (e.g. corn oil, canola oil) caused a shift in what the US relied on for fat.
It's rare to see high fat foods that are also rich sources of fiber.
As mentioned in the Avocado post, it is rare to see high fat foods that are also rich sources of fiber. One cup of coconut has 7 grams of fiber, whereas one cup chopped of the superfood broccoli has only 2.4 grams. The primary fat in coconuts is a medium chain triglyceride (MCT), which bypasses the liver during digestion and is thought to be unrelated to our bodies' cholesterol production (1).
In a study in healthy men, consumption of MCTs did not detrimentally affect liver function or liver fat accumulation, and affected cholesterol levels the same as unsaturated fat such as vegetables oils, however post prandial triglycerides and lipids do seem to increase (3).
I looked for any papers discussing coconut fat and health benefits, and was excited to find Dietary intake and the risk of coronary heart disease among the coconut-consuming Minangkabau in West Sumatra, Indonesia. It discusses the incidence of heart disease in a population that reportedly eats a high amount of coconut products and transitively eat a high amount of saturated fat.
According to Lipoeto et. al., the Minangkabau, known for their female power-dominant society, follow diets largely uninterrupted by Western civilization. The amount of fast food they consume was categorized as "nil" and amounts to 0.7 grams per day. That's exactly 1.3% of a standard hot dog.
Researchers took two groups of Minangkabau people – one with confirmed coronary heart disease (CHD) and the other without, and asked them to complete a survey of most commonly eaten foods over the past year.
The subjects completed a “food frequency questionnaire” to help researchers examine what foods they ate most commonly over the past year. They also took physical activity, stress levels, gender and smoking status into account. The researchers were specifically interested in the relation between saturated fat from coconut and their heart health.
The Case group ate more animal products on average, mainly meat and eggs, and therefore had higher intakes of protein, cholesterol and arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fat) from these foods. They ate significantly more sugar, tea, coffee, and fruit and consumed fewer amounts of soy products, rice and cereal.
Both groups consumed similar amounts of unsaturated fat and saturated fat from coconut, about 27 grams per day, which is the same as 129 grams of coconut milk or 31.5 grams of coconut oil. This suggests coconut was not the CHD culprit.
Most importantly, there was no association found between this population’s saturated fat consumption and CHD events. Especially since coconut-derived foods (milk, oil) are the primary saturated fat in their diets, it was concluded eating coconuts did not increase their risk.
As a side, but related finding, 22% of cases and 7% of controls use margarine - about 1.5 and 0.7 teaspoons per day, respectively.
To tie this in the beginning of this post, the researchers said there is no strong evidence linking high dietary fat and CHD risk, although most studies with these findings are done in populations with already high fat intake and that populations with low fat intakes (such as Caucasian) are of low CHD risk and have lower blood lipids (a.k.a. your risk will depend on your evolutionary history/genes). Historically, Caucasian populations have not eaten diets typical of Southeast Asian fare so it makes sense to see higher CHD risk when this population is studied under conditions encouraging them to eat more fat.
Going back to the final bullet point about margarine, the researchers mentioned there may be an association between introduction of Western foods and disease risk, and that one Japanese study found a positive correlation between fat-rich foods like butter, cheese, ham and sausage and mortality from degenerative diseases (2). My thoughts are that margarine, a Western invention, may have been one of many contributing factors to CHD in the case group.
So – if a certain population already eats a high fat diet, it would be sensible to imply they’re genetically able to handle high amounts of fat without putting themselves at risk for a nutrition-related disease.

Rita Stabile filed a wrongful death suit on April 9 in McLennan County District Court against Parson Barefoot Ski Ranch, alleging that her son’s death could have been prevented “had they exercised ordinary care in the operation of their water park,” The Houston Chronicle reported citing the civil suit.
Fabrizio Stabile, 29, visited the park on Sept. 8, 2018. He died several days later on Sept. 29 after contracting Naegleria fowleri.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, symptoms of the brain-eating disease include headaches, fever and nausea and begin to show around five days after contracting the infection. Victims of Naegleria fowleri face almost certain death five days after symptoms show. Diagnosis are usually made after death.
Only four people in the United States have survived the infection between 1962 and 2017, the CDC reports.
People can contract the disease when infected water enters the nose, allowing the amoeba to migrate to the brain.
Officials with the Waco-McLennan County Public Health District believe this is how Stabile became ill after testing done by the CDC in October 2018 found evidence of Naegleria fowleri at one of the for attractions at the park.
They also concluded that three other attractions had conditions favorable for its growth including the existence of organisms that indicated the presence of feces and low chlorine levels.
Stabile’s mother is seeking more than $1 million in damages and alleges that the park’s blue-green dyed waters “masked a pathogen soup” that allowed the amoeba to thrive.

Today, we had another video conference with the North Carolina Zoo. We love these guys. They are so awesome to have the experts video conference with us, to share their knowledge about the different classifications of creatures. We have already learned about Reptiles, Amphibians, Insects, and Mammals. Today, we learned about Birds.
~ there are different families of birds and some of them are raptors, song birds, water fowl, grebes, woodpeckers, etc.
We spent a lot of time learning about just raptors. Specifically, we learned about a Barred Owl and got to see Tara in our video conference.

Bible Study: Mark Chapter 8: Who’s the Chief?
Caesarea Philippi is in the northern part of Israel, and sits at the foothills of Mount Hermon along the Jordan River where a spring flowed from a cave so deep that it couldn’t be measured and came to be believed to be the Gates of Hell.

We see Jesus wanting to save souls. This happens not by physical healing, but by spiritual healing. We must regain control of our minds and get into alignment with our Creator.

What do you do when you believe your situation is beyond help? Do you summon Jesus?

Following Jesus may mean being exposed to severe perils, sometimes physical, and always spiritual in nature. So, we, too, must expect to encounter perilous conditions and fierce trials.

I’m engaged in this study of the biblical book of Mark. I’m reminded of so many simple truths. I’m also understanding more and more how Jesus came with such focus and determination.

Back in my days as the voice of �PawPaw Mac� with �Jon Rivers and the Morning Gang� on Dallas Christian radio KLTY, something would be said by the on-air crew that would bring to mind a particular joke or anecdote.
I would grab the phone, call the �hot-line,� and introduce that morning�s humor-offering with, � I heard y�all talkin� about �thus-n-such�. Weeell, believe it or not� reminds me of a story.� Similar moments still happen to me. Often. Like yesterday morning when I was enjoying some cane syrup on a piece of toast.
Many years ago while visiting my parents in Calvert, Mom was getting supper ready. Hot bread was on the menu. Out in the garage, settin� on a shelf just outside the kitchen door, was a small, silver can, which I recognized as one of those syrup cans that were common around our house when I was growin� up. My dad always enjoyed mixin� some sorghum or ribbon-cane syrup with butter and dippin� his bread in it. So did I. Still do.
Anyway, I picked that can up and noticed that there was enough weight to indicate there was at least a small amount of syrup inside. I took it in the house and set it down on the counter, thinkin� of how good it�d be on a hot roll.
Mom was putting the finishing touches on the meal, and others of us were getting the table ready. Suddenly there was a notable �POOM!�, followed immediately by the sound of a small metallic projectile bouncing off the cabinets and onto the floor.
I turned to see Dad standing there, a small spoon in his hand, and syrup running down both lenses in his glasses. There was also a streak of syrup across the ceiling, and running down the front of the refrigerator.
Turned out that small amount of syrup had fermented in that can. In doing so, the gasses created had caused a substantial amount of pressure. Dad was in the process of prying the lid off of that can with a spoon when the interior pressure took over - and blew the lid up to the cabinets and syrup to the ceiling, refrigerator and dad�s face.
I remember well Dad�s stunned look. But I remember even better what he said as he stood there.
Life�s an adventure. Some of my greatest joys are in remembering how others have lived it up!

Allen Ginsberg once said "We're born in bodies, and that in itself is a vulnerable situation." And a situation to be explored again and again, every day of life. All of our accomp-lishments, our responsibilities, our joys and sorrows, come back to living in this body, with whatever particular challenges it gives us.
Yoga is the most sacred way I know to honor, appreciate, and fully experience this body. It's possible to live in a body for many years and not be at home. The exploration of embodiment is one of the great adventures of life.
Yoga is unique among spiritual practices because it is based in the body, and unique among body practices because it incorporates an integration of our knowledge of reality into an ever-expanding consciousness.
The body, mind and spirit carry knowledge, wisdom and truth. The body, mind and spirit also carry terror, anxiety, and pain. With the intention to be present to one's own moment-to-moment experience of a bodily-based sense of self, we can hold ourselves to physical and psychological healing.
Caring curiosity, authentic interest and compassion are the ways to develop a yoga/movement practice that lowers depression and chronic pain and strengthens the immune system. Sensation is the language of the nervous system, so when we intentionally turn awareness toward bodily sensations, we enter a realm of repair for our hearts and souls.
One little assignment for the rest of your life: Consciously intend to notice sensations and feelings throughout your body with an attitude of wonder, curiosity and appreciation. This is a recipe for the renewal of vitality and aliveness.
Join Dana Smith and Kathryn Bouchard in this new all levels class that combines the gentle art of intentional, supportive touch with a stress releasing movement practice. Visit our website for a complete description.
Are you ready to take the next step in your yoga practice?

4) Don't expect to buy high quality Green Coffee products in Beaverdell BC for less than $50. If that could put you into an uncomfortable situation financially you should definitely look for another weight loss supplement.
Pure Green Coffee Supplements are the most ideal weight loss supplement in the current Beaverdell British Columbia market.
The green coffee max supplements that are sold to Beaverdell British Columbia customers are made from natural extract. The most effective product in the coffee beans is the naturally occurring Chlorogenic acid that works by slowing down the absorption of fat by the body after meals, or by triggering the body metabolism that metabolizes any extra fat consumed. Through its operations, there is minimal fat stored in the body.
Chlorogenic acid found in Green Coffee Bean Max sold to our Beaverdell British Columbia customers, stimulates the body's insulin production. Insulin reduces the blood sugar levels by pulling glucose into the cells using it for energy production hence increasing the body metabolism and energy levels. Chlorogenic acid curbs carbohydrate absorption in the body.
Apart from being an efficient Beaverdell BC weight loss supplement, this green coffee supplement also helps in cleansing the blood, lowering cravings, speeding up body metabolism and regulating the blood sugar. The effectiveness of the coffee beans is determined by the concentration and purity of Chlorogenic acid and the quantity of the green coffee supplement taken. Therefore, the green coffee supplement should be taken as directed in order to increase the quality of the weight loss results. Chlorogenic acid is present in this product in high concentrations hence the green coffee we sell in Beaverdell BC are more than effective for weight loss.
Green coffee beans protect Beaverdell users from several health diseases associated with blood sugar and cancer related illnesses hence it is highly recommended, but caution should be taken by the user to only purchase Quality green coffee Products in Beaverdell BC from reputable manufacturers.
Green coffee supplements are now one of the hottest weight loss supplements in Beaverdell British Columbia and all across Canada today. This amazing product has been featured in various TV shows and fitness magazines not only in Beaverdell BC but all over the world. Consequently, a lot of people in British Columbia have reported to have experienced various great health benefits from using it. But is it really effective? That all depends on the QUALITY!
Sure, a lot of supplements have been popping up in the British Columbia market and most of them cater to weight loss. The reason for that is a lot of people in Beaverdell BC want to lose weight but don't have enough time to go to the gym or get into a diet program. The sad thing is that a lot of the green coffee products found on local Beaverdell store shelves are low quality, mass produced made in China type products. Remember, you only get what you pay for. If your local Beaverdell health store is selling what appears to be the same type of product at a much reduced price, alarm bells should go off. How can you judge the effectiveness of coffee bean products by purchasing the lower end cheap stuff? If you want fast weightloss and the associated health benefits make sure you are buying high quality.

SAN MARCOS – The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has authorized Texas State University to offer an innovative new Master of Science degree program with a major in Integrated Agricultural Sciences.
The program will be the first in Texas to incorporate a multidisciplinary approach to help students develop technical and leadership skills necessary for solving complex food and agricultural issues.
The degree program was approved by the Texas State University System Board of Regents in May. The program, pending final review by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, is expected to begin enrolling students in fall 2018.
"Agriculture is getting more and more complex," explained Madan Dey, dean of the Department of Agriculture in the College of Applied Arts. "We need a multidisciplinary focus to solve complex issues. None of the graduate programs we have in the state of Texas offer that opportunity.
"Employers are finding that graduate students with specialized degree in agriculture are not appropriate for their needs," he said. "They need a multidisciplinary person who is able to address complex agricultural issues."
Texas State received significant input from public and private agricultural stakeholders while developing the degree proposal, Dey said. The result is a master of science program that combines and integrates research and education concerning land use strategies, crop and animal production, distribution, sales, economics, policy and the environment. Program graduates will have the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills necessary to analyze, optimize and implement complex agricultural systems. Through a rigorous interdisciplinary agriculture curriculum and exposure to real-world applications, students will develop technical and leadership skills demanded by the rapidly-evolving agricultural industry.
"We like to be ahead of the curve," Dey said. "This degree is the first of its kind in Texas. It is unique. We looked into all the providers of graduate agriculture education and did not find a single institute in the state of Texas that offered this kind of degree.
"We thought it appropriate to offer a program which would generate graduates who would be highly demanded by the job market," he said. "We are quite confident that graduate enrollment in our department will increase substantially."

What is topsoil and why is it so important? The top few inches of soil sitting on the ground is called the topsoil. This the soil in which all of your plants and flowers will grow. Unlike the subsoil and rock found in the layers below, topsoil is rich in the minerals your plants need in order to survive and thrive. This organic layer can become thinner over time due to wind, erosion and other factors. When that happens in might be necessary to add some additional topsoil around your vegetation and trees to ensure they have all the vital nutrients they need to grow.
Mulch is popular among gardening enthusiasts for several reasons. Mulch does an excellent job of protecting the root systems of your plants from excessive heat or frost damage. It also helps soil hold on to moisture, which reduces the need for excess watering. In addition, mulch is very useful for combating the growth of weeds as it acts as a light barrier, preventing weeds from sprouting. Many people do not know that using mulch will also add valuable nutritional elements to the soil underneath.
There are some cosmetic benefits to using mulch that also make it very popular. Purposefully using mulch in certain areas of your landscaping can add some interest to the look of your yard. Mulch comes in a variety of sizes, texture and colors, so you can find something that appeals to your unique aesthetic. Mulch is incredibly simple to install. Most people typically install their mulch by hand or with the help of a hand-held blower. The only caution you need to take when using mulch is that you want to be careful not to let it build up directly under shrubs or around tree trunks. This may allow pests like mold to thrive. Once installed, mulch commonly does not have to be replaced for 2-3 years.
Decorative wood chips are a type of mulch, but they are commonly larger pieces and heavier. Decorative wood chips offer a slightly different look than mulch, so some homeowners choose them simply as an cosmetic preference. However, there are some more practical benefits to selecting wood chips over lighter varieties of mulch. If you live in an area that is prone to windy weather, wood chips will be less susceptible to blowing away. The great thing about wood chips and all other mulch varieties is that they are simple to remove when if you decide you'd like to try something new in your landscape. Plus, they are completely compostable, making them an environmentally safe choice.
Don't trust your yard to cheap landscape supplies. The trusted professionals at Cal Blend Soils Materials are dedicated to providing customers with quality products at fair prices in West Hollywood. We deliver to West Hollywood and can help make your project a reality. We are standing by to help you find the right landscape products to make your next job a success.

Jack “Jungle Boy” Perry is back in action in the wrestling ring, weeks after the death of father Luke Perry.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Jack, 21, shared a video documenting his return, along with a sweet message to fans.
“I’m not sure I’ll ever be ready, but I’m back. Thanks for all the love and support. @gamechangerwrestling #jjsb3#wrestlemaniaweekend2019,” the wrestler captioned a clip from the event, which he won.
Luke died last month following a massive stroke at the age of 52. The “Beverly Hills, 90210” star was surrounded by family, including Jack, daughter Sophie, ex-wife Minnie Sharp and fiancée Wendy Madison Bauer.
In the wake of Luke’s passing, Jack dropped out of Bar Wrestling’s March 13 show in Los Angeles.
As for Jack’s sister, Sophie, 18, she recently announced her return to Africa.
“First few days back in Malawi have been very emotional but it feels right to come back, to finish what I started, to do the most with whatever time we have left,” Perry shared Sunday on social media.
“I recently learned that may not be as much time as we think. It was quick and scary to leave home again so soon, but there’s a job to be done, and someone to make proud. Also excuse my ‘post 30 hours o travel’ face,” she continued.

This DIY Subfloor ventilation kit is designed to ventilate a subfloor space of up to 60m3.
1x 6m of 100mm duct – this can be easily cut to suit your system. If more duct is required please see ‘accessories’ below.
1x Flex & Plug (The fan is then plugged into the timer) Flex & plug is wired to high speed. Customers purchasing additional speed controller accessory are advised that the lead and plug will need to be removed so the fan can be hard wired to the switch.
These components were selected because they are suitable for DIY installation. Using this kit in conjunction with accessories which need hardwiring will require installation by an electrician.
Some buildings have very little subfloor ventilation. Inadequate underfloor ventilation can lead to an accumulation of moisture in the subfloor. This in turn can cause structural and health problems for the home and it’s occupants.
The most common reason for inadequate under floor ventilation is that there not enough vents, or they are too small for the size and layout of building. Building extensions, building location and soil type can all contribute to problems in the subfloor.
This underfloor kit is specifically designed to service areas of up to 60 cubic meters.
This subfloor kit comes with a VKM 100mm inline fan – this is a 70w motor. Based on daily usage (4 hours per day) this fan will cost approximately $35 annually (or 69 cents per week).
Please note: These calculations are based on a rate of 35 cents per 1000w per hour, based on current peak time rates. Actual cost will vary depending on your individual rates and usage amount.
Centrifugal – These fans perform very well over long duct runs. This means that it will retain its capacity much more than any other type of fan.
Fanco – The fan is covered by a 2 year replacement warranty – conditions apply. See www.fanco.com.au for details.
Please be aware that this kit comes with a fan with a 'lead and plug'. For this reason returns for change of mind reasons cannot be accepted.

We’re Hiring a Market Manager!
The Sustainability Studies Program is thrilled to announce that the fall series of Lobo Growers’ Markets will again take place this coming semester.
We are hiring a student market manager to plan and run the weekly event, and will be accepting applications from now until mid-August. The position is for 10 hrs/week for the first 8 weeks of the fall semester. See more details on the online job posting.
The Lobo Growers’ Market was originally developed as a UNM student project and was held for the first time in the Fall of 2007. Students brought numerous growers and value-added producers on campus to promote local farming and small business – and ultimately, to educate campus members about sustainable agriculture and healthy food choices. The market has subsequently been held more than 15 times. We offer one Earth Day-inspired growers’ market event in the spring semester, and six markets in the fall when local produce is at its best.
Join us on Cornell Mall every Wednesday from 10am to 2pm, starting August 28th through October 2nd. EAT SMART, BUY LOCAL, BE LOBO!
The yellow star shows the market location. Join us Wednesdays from 10am-2pm on the Cornell Mall. There will be ten vendors in the grassy triangle just west of Johnson Gym.
