Elective caesarians versus vaginal delivery and guidelines for home births were among the fascinating legal issues covered at the Obstetrics Malpractice Conference held recently in Melbourne, writes senior associate Belinda Epstein.
The annual Obstetric Malpractice Conference is attended by obstetricians, midwives, peak body representatives, insurers and lawyers and it’s an excellent opportunity to dissect and keep abreast of legislation, case law and medical case studies from a variety of professional perspectives. Here are some of the highlights for me from this year’s conference.
Professor Michael Permezel, President of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, talked about the latest statistics regarding outcomes of elective caesarean section versus vaginal delivery.
In particular, Dr Permezel focused on the Morcambe Bay report from the United Kingdom, which investigated the deaths of one mother and 11 babies in a particular hospital between 2004 and 2013. The report found midwives at the hospital were extremely cavalier and work in the maternity unit was seriously dysfunctional with poor levels of clinical competence, extremely poor working relationships and a determination among midwives to pursue normal childbirth “at any cost”.
Somewhat controversially, perhaps, Dr Permezel also espoused the view that allowing a woman to go beyond 40 weeks of pregnancy at 40 years of age or above is “straight out negligence”.
There were fascinating talks on transfer guidelines for home births, as well as the concepts behind information, advice and warnings for women wanting to undergo home birthing in the various jurisdictions in Australia. The conference heard from both a midwifery perspective (Professor Caroline Homer, Professor of Midwifery, University of Technology Sydney and President, Australian College of Midwives) and legal perspective (Bill Madden, medical lawyer, and Associate Professor Tina Coburn, Queensland University of Technology Faculty of Law).
Home birth is still a relatively unpopular form of birth in Australia. However, as Professor Homer noted, it is not going to go away and is very important that the medical profession and public health system continue to develop clear, helpful guidelines. This is especially the case in relation to informed decision making.
Interestingly, only two days after the conference, the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (Occupational Division) handed down its decision in the case of an interim disciplinary proceeding against a midwife following two home births in New South Wales (HCCC v Sheldrick). The decision relates to the neonatal deaths of two babies delivered by the midwife on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. In both cases, women were transferred to hospital late in their labour and delivered stillborn babies due to birth complications. Previous conditions had been imposed on Ms Sheldrick’s registration and she had not in fact practiced as a midwife since August 2014. Findings of both unprofessional conduct and professional misconduct were established against Ms Sheldrick, with a further hearing to be held regarding the protective orders to be made by the Tribunal.
There was an alarming discussion by Associate Professor Ted Weaver (University of Queensland) regarding risk assessment in obstetrics and training in neonatal resuscitation. He pointed out that while only approximately five per cent of births will progress to be difficult, it is hard to know which five per cent this will be. In other words, it is difficult to anticipate before a baby is born that it may need resuscitation. Dr Weaver expressed the view that a neonatal paediatrician should be readily accessible for all births.
The conference heard a fascinating update from Dr Stephen Cole, obstetrician and gynaecologist at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne. Dr Cole is a specialist in maternal foetal medicine and spoke about the fascinating recent and continuing developments in the area of foetal medicine, particularly in the area of foetal surgery.
Dr Cole emphasised the need in these complex cases to balance the risks to the mother with the risks to the baby.
There was a panel discussion on domestic violence and child protection notifications in respect of a woman and her unborn child. Dr Kathleen Baird, Director of Midwifery and Nursing Education, and Louise Everett, Clinical Midwifery Consultant, spoke together about the extremely tangled moral, ethical and legal issues surrounding a caregiver’s duty of care to an unborn or newborn child. It was noted there are no mandatory reporting requirements regarding an unborn child. However there are guidelines that differ between jurisdictions.
The delicate issue of performance management of clinicians, as well as the practice of clinicians investigating complaints and clinical failings of peers, were tackled by Dr Nicola Yuen, Director of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Bendigo Health in Victoria. She noted that in many instances, clinicians are not trained to do these things and therefore the systems often fail. Dr Yuen told the conference that in order to bring about improvements in this area it is necessary to: change the hospital culture, engage in robust clinical governance and learn from mistakes. To achieve this, the barriers to reporting need to be removed, for instance training and personality issues.
Multi-disciplinary conferences like the Obstetrics Malpractice event are highly beneficial for health law practitioners and all the attendees I spoke to felt that the issues discussed had enlightened and enriched their professional working lives. I was certainly no exception.

Agailjhara upazila unit Awami League had set 10:00am yesterday as the deadline for stamping 70 percent ballots in favour of the party-backed chairman candidate in the upazila polls.
The party men executed the plan in almost all the 38 polling centers in the upazila, forcing both the BNP-backed and AL rebel chairman aspirants to boycott the polls.
Party insiders said AL strongman Abul Hasanat Abdullah, cousin of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, masterminded the plan to ensure victory for party favourite Golam Mortuja Khan in the election.
There was hardly any voter in most of the polling centres after 10:00am. However, there were supporters of Mortuja Khan in the centres.
Very few villagers were seen on the streets of different villages in the upazila, where more than 55 percent voters are Hindus.
Sensing that the Hindus might vote for AL-rebel Jatindranath Mistry, the ruling party men intimidated the religious minorities in many areas, complained locals.
Former general secretary of the upazila unit AL Jatindranath has been expelled from the party for contesting the polls against party decision.
“By 10:00am, we completed stamping 70 percent ballot papers,” said an AL activist at Ratnapur union, preferring not to be named. “I stamped more than 200 ballot papers, but could not cast my ballot,” he added.
The Daily Star found his claim to be true as Abul Hossain, presiding officer at Gaila High School, around 11:30am said over 3,100 votes (69 percent) were cast by then out of the total 4,579 votes at his centre. No voters were present at the polling station at that time.
Visiting nine polling centres in the upazila, this newspaper witnessed random stamping of ballot papers in favour of Mortuja Khan and AL-backed woman vice-chairman hopeful Malina Rani Roy.
The centres are Datterabad Govt Primary School, Beluhar Govt Primary School, Mollahpara High School, Ratnapur Govt Primary School, Madhya Shihipasha Govt Primary School, Sheral Bahumukhi High School, Gaila High School, Paisha High School and Choygram High School and College.
Law enforcers, presiding and polling officers were seen helping the AL men stamp the ballot papers. When journalists entered into the centres, they signalled at the AL men to leave the polling booths.
“Journalists are in our room. You [AL men] should go now,” polling officer Rezaul Karim told the AL men at a polling booth at Madhya Shihipasha Govt Primary School.
Freedom fighter Faruk Hossain was guiding AL men to stamp ballot papers at Beluhar Govt Primary School under Ratnapur Union of the upazila. Enquired about his act, he said he was rigging votes “slightly” as he liked Abul Hasanat Abdullah, also the local lawmaker.
Asked about the large-scale vote rigging by the AL men, Nazrul Islam, a sub-inspector of police, said they had nothing to do except for helping the ruling party men. Most of the presiding officers echoed the views of the cop.
Meanwhile, BNP-backed chairman candidate SM Afzal Hossain and AL-rebel Jatindranath Mistry boycotted the polls within an hour of opening the voting and demanded the upazila returning officer postpone the polls and hold a fresh election later freely and fairly.
The upazila unit BNP called a half-day hartal for today in the upazila protesting vote rigging by ruling party men, Afzal told reporters at a press conference at Agailjhara Press Club around 11:00am.
Asked about the allegations of irregularities, AL-backed candidate Mortuja Khan said his two rivals resorted to a propaganda campaign against him sensing his victory. He claimed that yesterday's polls were free and fair.
Senior Judicial Magistrate Mustafizur Rahman said they fined nine people for trying to rig the polls.
Despite repeated attempts, The Daily Star could not reach Abul Hasanat Abdullah over the phone for his comment.

ARM has shared part of the Always connected PC roadmap that is currently only executed by Qualcomm Snapdragon, and also showed some expected performance projections of the 7nm and 5nm parts.
Currently the Snapdragon 850 that just became available with Samsung Galaxy Book 2 launched yesterday and Lenovo Yoga C630 machines are powered by Kryo cores based on Cortex A75. Based on SpecIntl 2K6 ARM/Snapdragon is expecting to catch up with Core i5 7300 performance in this single thread benchmark with the next generation, and probably exceed it. We do know that Intel has had the Core i5 8200 series out since January and recently announced Whiskey Lake.
The next Snapdragon to launch is expected to be based on Cortex A76 7nm cores and slightly exceed performance of Core i5 7300. Intel definitely has faster processors than that but the fact that Qualcomm and ARM can get to compete in the upper mainstream of the market sounds impressive.
ARM said that it is expected that Deimos the 2nd generation 7nm Core expected to launch in 2019 will be significantly faster compared to the first-generation Cortex A76 core and even showed the projected performance of Hercules 5nm core expected in 2020.
ARM said that the performance between Cortex A73 (Snapdragon 835) and Hercules 5nm core shows an increase of 2.5 times. This is a huge leap, considering that the Cortex A73 core launched in 2106 and massively available in 2017 was enough to give a decent Windows 10 always connected experience with always on.
ARM will get more competitive and put some pressure on Intel going forward but bear in mind that Intel plans to do volume production of the new architecture in 10nm schedule for volume in holiday 2019.
The value proposition of multiday battery life, always connected feature with integrated modem and always on is something that will arrive first for ARM/Snapdragon customers.

Community bankers have begun taking steps to not be held back so frequently by their traditional tech vendors' schedules.
“If it works, don’t fix it” is a luxury community bankers can no longer afford.
Now, not only fixing it, but adding to it and hooking into other providers’ tech grows increasingly critical.
“Anybody who doesn’t believe that is kidding themselves,” says James Beckwith, president and CEO at $972.8 million-assets Five Star Bank in Rocklin, Calif.
The attractiveness of tech-based marketplace lending, for example, is only going to increase, Beckwith says. Also, payments innovations, going on inside and outside banking, can’t be ignored by consumer or business bankers.
Community bankers frequently complain that they are at the mercy of their core tech providers. They can advance only when these vendors say so.
The good news: Community bankers have been taking steps to counter such competitive challenges on the tech side.
At $835 million-assets Bank Midwest, Spirit Lake, Iowa, Mary Kay Bates, president and CEO, says her institution saw the advances being made in P2P payments and more.
The first step: working with a vendor, INV Fintech, an incubator and accelerator that has a connection with Fiserv.
“We know that we can’t wait around for a big bank to ask Fiserv for what they want,” says Rowland. INV Fintech develops applications meeting current customer demand that work with the bank’s Fiserv platform.
The second step, still in development: partnering with Hyphen Funding to produce Lead Bank’s own answer to marketplace lending. Rowland hopes to use this capability to counter the threat of Kabbage and others.
Beckwith, also believing that marketplace lending must be taken seriously, has begun working with SmartBiz, a fintech that works with banks to set up such lending, rather than competing with banks. He believes that it is only a matter of time before marketplace players enter CRE lending.
This is a companion to the main story, "Rethinking community banks' future"

Central banks control the flow of money in and out of the economy and look to stimulate or mitigate economic growth when necessary. With quantitative easing, central banks create new money and use it to buy assets and securities held by the banks.
Buying up assets and securities owned by the banks is meant to boost investment in the economy in a similar way to cutting interest rates. With more money on hand, banks should be more willing to lend to entrepreneurs looking to build a new business or established conglomerates seeking to expand their operations. Those new businesses should in turn hire new workers, who spend their salaries on new mortgages, flat-screen TVs or other goods. That, in theory, kicks the economy back into the black.
Why would Canada need it?
We may have slipped into a recession, which is defined as two quarters of negative economic growth. Despite a falling loonie, Canada is still importing more than it exports. For an economy based on selling energy, goods and services to the rest of the world, that’s a bad sign. The economy appears to need a shot in the arm, and some experts say quantitative easing is the right prescription.
Has it been implemented elsewhere?
Yes. It is a relatively new monetary policy tool following the 2008 financial crisis. The central banks of the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and the European Union have all used variations of the policy.
Are there drawbacks to quantitative easing?
Oliver is not alone in dismissing it and the policy is not without its detractors. Some are concerned that funnelling money to banks doesn’t necessarily lead to more lending. Others fear that when central banks begin selling off the assets they have collected, interest rates will rise and choke off whatever recovery may be underway. Quantitative easing also encourages inflation by putting more money in the system, which can be harmful to an economy recovering from recession.

This white paper on levies in Florida is reprinted with permission from Hiday & Ricke, PA. The original appears here in the News Section of their website. The author is Robert Hiday, CEO. We appreciate their willingness to allow us to share this valuable information with our readers.
Florida has long been known as a “debtors haven” because it is one of a handful of states that provide extensive protections (above and beyond federal law) to those who are being pursued for past due obligations. People who collect debts in Florida have limited tools with which to work, and debts often go uncollected as a result. Because we are restricted by these laws, it is important to exploit every tool available while remaining in full compliance. Attorneys who specialize in debt collection know every angle that can be pursued. One of those, usually the “last resort,” is a levy, also sometimes referred to as an execution.
Chapter 56 of the Florida statutes empowers judgment creditors to seize nonexempt assets from judgment debtors. It seems very unusual, but if you have a judgment in Florida — for any type of debt — you can utilize this “nuclear option” to collect the debt.
Creditor has a credit card balance due from debtor, who ignores the situation.
Creditor sues debtor and eventually obtains a judgment against him.
Regardless, debtor refuses to pay and Creditor is unable to find debtor’s employment or bank account.
Creditor does learn that debtor owns a late model car/truck/boat/plane that has no liens on the title.
Creditor levies upon the item, it is sold by the sheriff at auction and creditor receives the net proceeds of that sale toward satisfaction of the debt.
Before anything can be done, a valid and properly worded judgment must be in place. The underlying debt is irrelevant — it can even be for a non-debt matter, such as a car accident, etc. The creditor has the state issue a JLC (Judgment Lien Certificate) and gets the clerk to issue a Writ of Attachment. The details of the levied item are then carefully studied. Clear paperwork proving the ownership and lien status must be acquired.
It is wise to call the sheriff in the county where the property is located to learn how large a deposit they will charge to do the levy. The sheriff has statutory authority here and can arbitrarily charge a deposit amount they feel is appropriate. The deposit is used to pay for the Sheriff’s out-of-pocket expenses, and is reimbursed to the creditor if sufficient proceeds are garnered from the sale. The creditor then sends all of the above documents to that sheriff, along with a deposit check and approved ‘levy instruction’ form. From there it becomes a waiting game.
It is entirely up to the sheriff to pick the item up. Some sheriffs’ departments work quickly to pick up the item and others do not, so the time can vary from a few days to over a month. If the sheriff finds the item locked up (e.g., behind a fence or in a closed garage) or cannot be easily taken, they will contract the creditor to see if they want to get a “break order” issued, authorizing the sheriff to forcibly enter the locked area that has the vehicle and take it.
If the sheriff is successful in picking up the vehicle, they store it and place an ad in the local newspaper advertising the sale, usually about 5 to 6 weeks away. At any time in the process, the creditor and debtor can settle and the item can be returned to the debtor. If no settlement is reached, the sale is held and the item is given to the highest bidder who must have cash on hand at the sale. If the “winner” is not the creditor, that person pays the sheriff, and later the sheriff sends the net funds to the creditor, including full reimbursement for the cost deposit mentioned above.
In some cases there are no solid bids and the plaintiff (creditor) takes possession of the vehicle and markets it on their own. Regardless the outcome of that sale, the debtor is entitled to a credit for the sale amount of the item (even though the purchase was a credit bid by the creditor). It is our policy to give the debtor credit for the highest of either the sale amount of the sheriff’s sale, or the sale that we conduct on behalf of the creditor. Our firm handles this sale process so the client does not have to get involved in marketing the vehicle (unless the client prefers to do this).
Generally speaking, levies are a “last-ditch” effort to effect recovery in situations where the judgment debtor is completely uncooperative but has assets worth further pursuit. They are not always successful because the true condition of the vehicle cannot be known until it has been picked up and evaluated. The process usually involves a large cash outlay for the sheriff’s deposit, but often results in substantial recoveries in cases that would otherwise be uncollectible. We strongly believe in levies as a “last resort” remedy and routinely make solid recoveries, even in “uncollectible” situations. In the past few months, we recovered $17,000.00 in one levy and $14,600.00 in another. At any given time we have multiple levies underway.
Most creditors fail to realize what can be done with a judgment in Florida, and often give up once the matter has gone to court. Some avoid court altogether. In our view, this is a mistake, especially when you consider the fact that Florida judgments are valid for 20 years. We recommend that you remain open-minded when it comes to post-judgment opportunities. It is essential that you retain experienced counsel that have expertise in handling multiple levies in the past. If you are serious about making debt recoveries in Florida, levies are one method that can significantly boost your bottom line.

The Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area covers 7,000 hectares (17,000 acres) of provincial land, or an area that averages 20 km (12.4) miles long by 3.4 km (2.1 miles) wide. It consists of one lake (1,500 ha or 3,700 acres) and 17 marshes plus a major river and adjoining mountain slopes. The marshes form a valuable link in a chain of wetlands stretching from the Arctic Ocean to California.
The CVWMA is located south of Kootenay Lake and extends south to the Canada/US Border and is nestled between the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges. The area encompasses a substantial part of the Kootenay River floodplain and consists of dyked marshland, lakes, sloughs, agricultural fields and adjacent river terraces. The CVWMA is located within a very dry warm variant of the Interior Cedar-Hemlock biogeoclimatic subzone and experiences very hot and dry summers and mild winters with light snowfall. These climatic conditions combined with the wetland and riparian habitat make the Creston Valley a critical breeding, staging and wintering area for a broad diversity of wildlife species.
The CVWMA is currently comprised of approximately equal portions of open water, wetland habitats (including permanent and seasonal wetlands) and upland habitats (grasslands, shrublands and forest). With the exception of the forest habitat types, the habitat types (permanent and seasonal wetland, lake and open water, rivers and wide channels, upland grass areas, upland shrub) were either extremely rare or non existent in the Creston Valley prior to the creation of the CVWMA and the subsequent construction of dykes and water control structures.

My work is a combination of intuitive responses to the world around me, an ongoing dialogue with contemporary and historical painting, and an enthusiastic immersion in the material process of making objects. My natural openness and curiosity has kept me alert to a range of potential approaches to art-making and my creative process is positive – I’m interested in creating something new, something generous and giving, and something that sustains me in the studio.
I come from a history of modernist painting rooted in abstract expressionism and colour-field painting. That past informs my work and acts as a springboard, but there is a friction between that past and working in today’s contemporary art world that generates a spark that pushes the work forward. Past perceived rules and self-imposed constraints fall away and increasingly I embrace an open, playful and searching studio practice.
Jonathan Forrest is an abstract painter who divides his studio time between Vancouver Island and small town Saskatchewan. Forrest studied at the University of Saskatchewan, receiving his BFA in 1983 and his MFA in 1991. Over the past 20 years Jonathan has both participated in and coordinated several artists' workshops including the popular Emma Lake Artists' Workshop in rural Saskatchewan. His work has been exhibited in commercial art galleries across Canada, as well as in public galleries such as the Mendel Art Gallery, Saskatoon, The Edmonton Art Gallery and The Dunlop Art Gallery, Regina. Jonathan’s paintings are in numerous collections across Canada including the Canada Council / Art Bank, Canpotex International, Dunlop Art Gallery, Edmonton Art Gallery, The Glenbow Museum, Mendel Art Gallery, Moose Jaw Art Museum, Mackenzie Art Gallery, Norcen, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan Arts Board, Stantec, Suncorp Valuations, University of Lethbridge, University of Saskatchewan, Westburne Industries, and Wood Gundy.

What Is A Ten Unit?
Few people can say that they have never enjoyed any of the many martial arts movies that have been produced. Even for the Western world, like America, imported martial artists such as Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee have wowed audiences with their strength, stamina, and intense grace. From the popular "Enter The Dragon" to the comedic action-adventure "Rush Hour," martial arts movies, or those that feature martial arts, have etched themselves into movie history.
Indeed, martial arts movies have infiltrated their styles into regular western entertainment. Martial arts and the involved skills have helped popularize television shows such as "Alias," and have made stars out of Jet Li, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Stephen Seagal, and other action stars. Indeed, now more than ever the skills learned in martial arts is almost a necessity for many up and coming actors and actresses, and self defense videos and martial arts supplies have flown off the shelves in Los Angeles.
The first two names to know about martial artists on the screen are, of course, Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. Lee, a fully trained karate and kung fu student, created the Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute, which was one of the first schools to teach western white people the secrets and practices of Chinese martial arts. He became famous in America for his roles in "Fists of Fury" and "Enter The Dragon."
Jackie Chan has been described as the Charlie Chaplin of martial artists, melding comedy and the danger of looking a little foolish with amazing stunts performed without safety wires. His movies, along with the recent "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," have once again proven that martial arts movies are here to stay. Hollywood will not let this genre go, even for a second!

Frank Gore has had a rough go of it so far in 2017. Defenses know Jacoby Brissett can’t hurt them, so they’ve keyed in on Gore. He’s currently facing the prospect of his yards per carry dipping below 3.5 for the first time in his career. Turning 34 will do that to a man. The NFL’s #8 all-time leading rusher (who will make it to #7 on Sunday) will face his old team for the first time since he left them amid the Great San Francisco Collapse of 2014. While Gore isn’t the same player, is he in for a big fantasy football day in Indianapolis on Sunday?
First, let’s look at Gore this season. A quick tape study shows us he isn’t the same player he’s always been, he’s mostly just lost his agility, which was never a big part of his game. He still pushes the pile, he can still go through defenders and is still slippery and powerful and There are just holes that Frank Gore could bounce into in years past that his legs can no longer get him through. There’s no shame in that. The good news is that he’s still a good running back, just not transcendent. Most of his YPC issues stem from the line completely failing him and opposing defenses not respecting Jacoby Brissett. So this at least tells us that Frank Gore still somewhat has it.
What about the 49ers? They allow the seventh-most points to running backs this season. Granted, giving Todd Gurley 500 all-purpose yards and 25 touchdowns will boost you up the ranks. Gurley aside, they’ve given double-digit fantasy point days to running backs in every other game this year. They’re still very bad, but no longer historically terrible against running backs. They’ve allowed running backs to basically do whatever they want against them.
Frank Gore takes on his former team this weekend and does it on the precipice of an all-time milestone. While we can’t let narrative run wild, it’s not hard to squint and see Gore balling out. The 49ers are terrible at defending running backs, and he spent the vast majority of his Hall of Fame career there, so he’s likely to have some extra juice. Gore isn’t Gore, but he still has a lot of the traits that got him his 13,256 rushing yards, and he should get at least sixty more and a score on Sunday. He’s a backend RB2 but given a lot of the uncertainty that flared up, he’s a good floor player to plug in this week.

The Evangelical Lutheran Synod was originally formed as the Norwegian Synod (1853). They joined the Synodical Conference in 1872 and enjoyed fellowship with the Wisconsin Synod and Missouri Synod. The present Evangelical Lutheran Synod began in 1917 when a merger of Norwegian Lutheran Churches caused many to compromise the pure teaching of God’s Word.
Since 1927 the ELS has operated Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, MN. In 1946 it established its won theological seminary at Bethany. It carries on an active home mission program and has 133 congregations in the United States and missionaries serving in Peru, Chile, the Ukraine and Czech Republic.
Today the ELS is in fellowship with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod and a member of the Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference (CELC).
Scriptural Evangelical Lutheran Church was formed in 1969 when members of a neighboring LC-MS congregation who sought to be faithful to God’s Word formed the congregation. The first service was held at Vandeven Hall in Cape Girardeau on March 9, 1969. On July 6, 1969 Rev. William Tabor was installed as the first resident pastor. The church moved to its present location onJune 18, 1970 using the newly constructed basement for services. The sanctuary was dedicated on June 18, 1978. The church cemetery was purchased in 1971 and the large cross was erected in 1972.

Over the last three Saturdays, I’ve been able to start my One Walks with Jesus again. They’re great, a lot of listening and praying. Just me and Jesus along with whatever books, sermons, songs or Words He leads me to.
This Saturday I finished listening to The God Impulse by Jack Alexander, narrated by Paul Michael on my Audible app. Give it ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and strongly recommend it.
Then started listening to Alienated America by Timothy P. Carney, narrated by Charles Constant on my Audible app.
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

Nicholas Wong accepts the Lambda Literary Award for his collection of gay poetry, “Crevasse,” published by Kaya Press. Photo: Lambda Literary | Flickr.
Kate Clinton, writer, activist, and comedian, had the pleasure of announcing the winners of the 28th Annual Lambda Literary Awards at NY University Skirball Center for the Performing Arts on June 6th. There were over 500 guests at the event celebrating the creativity and great work being done by LGBT authors.
It was Clinton’s fifth year as master of ceremonies for this gala. She was joined on stage by Tavi Gevinson, a Broadway actress and editor, who introduced New Yorker Writer and author of “White Girls,” Hilton Als. He was awarded the Trustee Award for Excellence in Literature. “Powerful feelings rise up in me as I stand before you. Other people are my art,” he said.
Poet Eileen Myles won the Lambda Pioneer Award and was introduced by Native poet Natalie Diaz. “It amazes that it has taken this long for the country and arts to recognize what I have known all along. That Eileen is amazing. She mad a space four us,” said Diaz.
Nicholas Wong author of “Crevasse” and Carl Phillips, author of “Reconnaissance,” were winners in the gay poetry category. Wong encouraged attendees to start reading Asian poets.
After thoughtful, serious, and full consideration, Lambda Literary has rescinded the nomination of Galileo’s Middle Finger: Heretics, Activists, and the Search for Justice in Science from the LGBT Nonfiction category of the 2016 Lammys.
Lambda Literary will strive to improve the nomination process and work to maintain the highest standards in the awards nominations, recognizing literature that contributes to the preservation and affirmation of LGBTQ culture, and which honors LGBTQ lives.

”Your skin is your biggest organ and works like a big mouth. It eats everything you put on it. The good as well as the bad.” This is the philosophy behind the Copenhagen-born, Trice Angie Christiansen, who is the founder of the 100 % natural and vegan beauty brand, RAAW By Trice. Your body is extremely sensitive to external influences, like pollution and bacteria. But also sensitive to what your skin is in direct contact with, like creams, oils, and cleansing products. That is why it is very important only to apply good ingredients, that will not damage, or in worst case, which Trice felt on her own skin, give your skin an allergic reaction.
Acne and eczema in the face was what Trice suffered from for many years. After countless attempts to get rid of her skin problem with almost every product on the market, she was almost about to give up. One evening she applies a skincare product hoping it will work. But the opposite happens. Instead of smooth and moisturized skin, she is met with red splotches, purple eye area and super dry skin, when she goes to look in the mirror. This episode becomes the kick-off for Trice’s mission to start her own skincare brand, where she will only use good, natural ingredients and keep all kinds of harmful chemicals, artificial colours or unnatural preservatives far away.
The natural ingredients have an extreme healing power and calming effect on the skin, Trice discovers. She begins to study herbal medicine and learns about all the different qualities of the plants. She learns, among other things, that rosehip seeds are filled with lots of good fatty acids and vitamin A, which are remarkable for treatment of dry and sun damaged skin. In the beginning, Trice experiments with oils from plants and seeds and mixes it together in small jam jars. The raw materials show their wonderful assets, when she applies them onto her skin. And it gives her an idea for the name: RAAW.
Winner of Danish Beauty Award is an award many of the products from RAAW By Trice have won throughout the years. The winner from 2017 is the nourishing facial oil Blue Beauty Drops, which are especially effective for acne prone skin. The oil calms and moisturizes the skin and absorbs quickly, so you will not experience a heavy layer of grease on your face. The drops are a faithful member of Trice’s own skincare routine. In 2018 it was the popular eau de parfume, Blackened Santal Eau De Parfum, that won the award for the niche perfume of the year. The EDP, which is unisex, is a favourite by the model, Christel Winter, who always gets complimented when she wears it. The perfume is also 100 % natural and made from natural oils and organic alcohol.
Is nature enough? Yes! Maybe you are wondering, whether the ingredients you find in nature are enough to cure skin problems like acne, dryness, and sun blemishes. But it all comes down to this: the body is a part of nature, and it is not made to be treated with artificial chemicals. If you want skincare products that works effectively and is not harmful to you, your skin, or the environment, then the products from RAAW By Trice are the ones you should try.

Dabney; daughters, Samantha Groves (Jimmy) and Heather Dabney; her wonderful grandchildren, J.J. Groves, Sydney Groves and Lucas Dabney; brothers and sisters, Steve Blake (Sandy), Greg Blake (Diane), Mary Blake, Chris Blake, Barbie Gallimore (Warren), Joe Blake, Donna Blake; and many beloved nieces, nephews and their children.

Owen Funeral Home, 12 Collins Dr., Cartersville, GA, is honored to serve the family of Cheryl Blake Dabney.
Momma that’s who she was! She was honest, hard working, loving, giving, supportive, god fearing Wife, Nana, and Momma! She had a smile that could brighten any room and a laugh so contagious you couldn’t help but laugh with her.
She was the light of my life. She made me the woman I am today. Which I can only hope to be half the woman she was.
It doesn't seem real. Why is death so hard for those left behind? Because we are no longer able to hug them, have conversations with them, and experience life with them. Their death leaves a void in our lives. However, with the promise of eternal salvation we have hope of reuniting with them; in the presence of our Lord.
Cheryl shared many stories of becoming my older sister at the age of 18. I was her Barbie Doll. She helped my mom care for her 6 younger siblings. She did it without question.
After losing our mother way too early Cheryl became the matriarch of the family. She was the central link between all of us. Family meant everything to her. She was the peacemaker. She had a sweet, calming voice. I will carry that voice in my mind and heart forever.
During visits to Atlanta I loved spending nights in her home. Cheryl gave me my first driving lesson as a teen. During our adult years our relationship blossomed. Through the years she listened and encouraged me during countless phone calls. We lived apart for almost 40 years, but our relationship remained strong. In 2011, along with Mary, we took a 3 day “Sisters Trip” to Savannah. We laughed, we shared, we explored, and wonderful memories were made.
Cheryl deeply loved her husband. She raised and greatly loved her 2 daughters. She was their rock. She cherished her 3 grandchildren. She provided countless hours of advice and consolation for us all.
I am grateful I was able to spend more time with Cheryl recently. It was heartbreaking that dementia was robbing her of her short term memory. She became angry she couldn't remember. Feeling helpless, we gave her all we could muster - our love and support.
I will cherish every hug, endearment and blessing of a sister like her. One day I will again hold the hand of my sister in Heaven. I so look forward to that day. I love you, Cheryl.
I loved my mom more than anything. She was my rock, my inspiration and my resource for everything. Even when she didn't know she found out for you. She taught me how to be kind, loving, forgiving, to be a woman, a sister, a good daughter and most of all how to be a mom. I hope you got the pleasure of knowing my mom. She was amazing and would light up a room when she walked in. She loved babies and puppies and they all loved her back. Her family was the most important as well as doing good for the community. She had an amazing talent at making everything all better or at least more positive. She loved her friends and would come home and download her daily gossip into my dad and me. The stories were so great from work my sister and I went to work with her. She always routed for the underdog. I hope to live on in her image.
Our condolences to David (my former patient) and Steve Blake (our former neighbor) on Cheryl's passing. I recall her clearly as delightful, humorous, loving and concerned about family as well and well-informed and inquisitive. She will be missed. Our sympathies to all her family and friends.
We are at a loss for adequate words to express our sadness for you. Your mother always had a smile on her face and we know heaven just received one of the most caring and kind angels. You are a reflection of your mom in the way you treat people with respect and empathy. Not to mention the way you make each person feel loved. We are so sorry for your loss. As you taught us many years ago, which we know you learned from Cheryl - "Think good thoughts", for she would want you to.
Cheryl and I had a good friendship. I enjoyed working with her.
When she had a job to do you couldn’t stop her she was driven.
Cheryl loved her family,Samantha and Heather, David and all of her brothers and sisters.

Czech Skeptics' Club Sisyfos is a Czech skeptical nonprofit organization devoted to promoting public awareness of philosophical skepticism, science, and critical thinking.
In their rules, they refuse to interfere with religious, moral and political issues.
Sisyfos (like many many other organizations) offers a lot of money (3,373,333 Czech koruna or US$160,671) to a person who can prove to have paranormal abilities.
Erratic Boulder is an anti-award given to people for "misleading the Czech public and the development of a muddy way of thinking."
Erratic Boulder was given to people such as the creator of psychotronics Zdeněk Rejdák, Czech minister Antonín Baudyš or Erich von Däniken. It was also given to some organizations in category cooperatives, such as three major television stations in the Czech Republic (Prima, Nova and it was also given to national Czech Television 3 times), Homeopathic medical association, Flat-earthers (the boulder that was given for them was especially flat) and also to Ministry of Industry and Trade for financing project FI-IMPULS by 29 million Czech koruna (US$1.3 million) that was researching a thing that cannot exist (in state documents called “Passive detection and localization of human behind obstacle“).

A new study from the Brookings Center On Children and Families argues birth control saves taxpayers millions of dollars per year by reducing unplanned pregnancies.
Brookings pulled data from sources like the National Survey of Family Growth and National Vital Statistics System to crunch the costs and savings of three pregnancy prevention methods: medicaid family planning, mass media campaigns and evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs.
Its conclusion: better access to Medicaid family planning would help taxpayers—especially women—the most.
Granted, more Medicaid family planning funding would cost $235 million per year, but it could help taxpayers pocket an estimated $1.32 billion per year.
A mass media campaign and evidence-based teen pregnancy intervention, meanwhile, could help taxpayers save around $431 million and $356 million per year, respectively.
Nearly half of all US pregnancies are unplanned, with single, poor and teenage women taking on the majority of the burden, said the report.

I’m still working on the Journal 52 prompts for 2015 and while I’m not completely “caught up” I have kept going, which is really the point, right? This is from Week 1: Pathways. I had fun with watercolor paint on this. My favorite part is the texture from the gesso that makes the bark of the tree. I’d like to say that I planned that, but NOPE!
This is from Week 12: Inspiration Board. I could wax poetic about my love for coffee (and I will make MANY more pages about my love for the bean…) but this was just fun to make. I actually worked on this while having coffee in a local coffee shop (OOOH!). This was colored with watercolor pains and I used pieces of an old calendar and candy wrappers on it. Makes me want a fresh cup!
Week 7: Valentines. While I can feel conflicted about the subject, that never stops me from getting my “mushy” on. Hearts are just fun shapes to work with. And have no doubt, I am wildly, completely, overwhelmingly in love with someone…I’m just too cool for Hallmark sentiment. Looking forward to making more pages this weekend.
A new Journal 52 prompt comes out every Friday.
This entry was posted in Art Journal and tagged Journal 52, watercolor paint.
Yes, I am doing this now too. Perhaps more than last year, perhaps not.
Black, white & red. Watercolor, acrylic, scrapbook paper, and sakura gel pens.
Cheap Artist Loft butterfly stencils, Folkart stencil cream paints & a Hampton art dye marker to KEEP WRITING!
As long as it’s fun, I’ll keep doing it. I have enough pressure in my life….
Here is another page in progress. ..
It’s about my BEST FRIEND. Yesterday was her birthday. She’s 23…I swear!
When IS a page finished?
So, I thought that my marker for a “finished” art journal page was when I put a date on it. And while that sounds nice and definitive, now I’m not sure if it’s true.
Am I done with this page? Dunno, but I sure don’t know what else to do with it.
Am I overthinking things again?
Ed. Now that I’ve looked at these pages on this blog, I see where I can go with the 2 page spread (with the faces) and the third page (nest and eggs). Isn’t it funny that I can aswer my own question if I give myself a little time?
Just told Facebook that this little blog exists. I wonder if that will make a difference in inspiring me to put more art up here?
I worked on this, the inside back cover, more after this photo was taken, but this is the gist of it.
Gonna take some more pics later today (after I do some NECESSARY housework) & will get to working on my other journals to let this one rest…WOOT!

Irvin J. Wurz, age 84, of Redfield, went to his Heavenly Home Saturday, March 6, 2010 at Avera-McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls. His funeral service was at 10:30 AM Wednesday at Bethesda Church with the Rev. Phil Plett officiating. Burial was in the Ebenezer Cemetery, rural Doland.
Irvin Joseph Wurz was born August 29, 1925, at Doland, South Dakota to Joseph and Elizabeth (Pullman) Wurz. He attended the Albright School in Harrison Township and worked on the family farm.
Irvin entered the U.S. Army in December 1944 and served in the Philippines. He was discharged in 1946. He returned to the Doland area where he farmed until his retirement in 1980. Irvin moved to Doland in 1985 and lived in Aberdeen and Casa Grande, Arizona before moving to Redfield in May 2007.
Irvin enjoyed farming, raising cattle, and his favorite pastimes included watching Minnesota Twins and Arizona Diamondbacks baseball games, fishing, having coffee and visiting with his coffee buddies and playing with his nephew’s dogs.
He is survived by two nieces, Mary Jo (A.R. “Skip”) Williams of Frankfort, Sandra (Cliff) Vitters of Milbank, South Dakota; one nephew, Lon (Denise) Wurz of Waddell, Arizona; one sister-in-law, Bonita Wurz of Redfield; and one brother-in-law, Erwin Wipf of Doland.
Irvin was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Harold and his sister Marian.

This week, the headliner was Thanksgiving. With the holiday on Thursday, and most birders (including myself) spending time with family, there was a drop off in sightings from previous weeks. Starting off where last week ended, the Gray Kingbird was seen again on Monday at Magotha Road in Northampton County, Virginia Beach’s neighbor to the north. Several folks included Rexanne Bruno, Giles, Jason Strickland, and Jim Marcum all added their names to the list of observers who managed to see this rarity while it was in town. Monday proved to be the final day for sightings though, and it hasn’t been observed since. As far as Virginia Beach observations go, things were really quiet while I was out of town, which is a swing from this same week last year when the Crested Caracara off Hungarian Road was causing a considerable amount of chaos in the birding community. On Wednesday, both Bob Ake & Rebecca Walawender observed a Razorbill flying along the beach at Back Bay NWR, being the first of the season sighted in the county. This one was mixed in a flock of Black Scoters according to Bob’s post on the Virginia Birding Listserver, so I’ll have to scan these flock as I encounter them moving forward. I’ve yet to see one in Virginia Beach, though they’re sighted commonly in winter offshore, and from the beaches by those with powerful scopes. The CVWO Seawatch at Rudee Inlet turned up the season’s first Common Eider on Thursday morning when Tracy Tate had one inside the inlet during the first hour of the 3-hour watch. Royal Terns continue to be sighted, and 25 Nov is their late date according to the Gold Book. They seem to be staying longer each year, though they definitely still depart the area before the new year begins, arriving back again in mid-March typically. A few Peregrine Falcons were seen, and Nelson’s Sparrows are still being found at Pleasure House Point. I’ve noticed a number of eBirders that seem to be annoyed by Black Skimmers flagging as rarities, and this should be fixed very soon, so hopefully it’ll quiet some folks down since the birds can be found year-round at Pleasure House Point. Interestingly, a few Palm Warblers were seen this week, and though they are said to winter here, I don’t think I’ve seen one this time of year. I primarily spot them during the transient months when their numbers are inflated by passers-by.
A very beautiful Palm Warbler, one of the more common warblers of the southeastern US in wintertime!
Since it was a holiday week, on Wednesday evening, Ruth & I drove down to visit her sister & nephew in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, arriving just after midnight following a long post-work drive down the I-95 corridor. On Thanksgiving morning, as I’ve done the past few years, I headed out for a long hike so I could feast without feeling too guilty. The past two years we have visited South Carolina, and each visit, I’ve knocked a bit more off of the Swamp Fox Trail that winds its way through the nearby Francis Marion National Forest. Interesting, Francis Marion is the fellow who Mel Gibson’s character in The Patriot was based off of, and he was commonly referred to as The Swamp Fox, hence the trail’s name. I don’t typically see a huge volume of birds along the trail, but I do enjoy the workout, so I headed out for what would become about an 8.5 mile walk around 7 AM. Throughout the walk, I kept my eyes up and used my binoculars as much as I could, using my camera only as a backup, something I’m working more and more towards since the best birders tend to be the ones who take the least miscellaneous photographs, and only use the camera when something documentation-worthy pops up. Heading up Route 17 towards Awendaw, then northwest on Steed Creek Road, I made it to the starting point on Halfway Creek Road. The forest here looks primed for Red-cockaded Woodpeckers, as it is inundated with Jackpine stands and is managed by the US Forest Service. While I did see some Northern Flickers, Red-bellied & Pileated Woodpeckers, and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, I never did come across the more endangered Red-cockadeds, so they remain a bird I’ve yet to see in my life. The forest was actually very quiet in the morning, and the air was still. While it was very peaceful, I did miss the thrill of seeing lots of birds like I do in areas I know well back home in Virginia Beach. However, I did find a few neat species along the way. The highlight for me was probably the pair of Blue-headed Vireos seen in the treetops. Surprising a group of 15 or so Wood Ducks on a small rainwater pond along the trail was also a great sighting! Of course, these birds all took off before I could even raise my camera, but I did see them clearly. Nearby, what I believe was a Red-shouldered Hawk could be seen in the trees as well. On the way back to my sister-in-law’s house, I stopped by the Pitt Street Causeway, a birding hotspot in the area, but the high tide was in and birds were scarce.

On Friday morning, I went out early to a little park in the area called Shem Creek Park. Elevated boardwalks here travel through the tidal saltmarsh and often times afford good wildlife viewing. As with the past couple of years, this site didn’t disappoint, and I quickly started racking up some good species. A Seaside Sparrow and Saltmarsh Sparrow were seen in close to one another in the higher portions of the marsh. The high tide was in here, so many species like Clapper Rail weren’t seen since they tend to be seen out in the open more when the mudflats are exposed and they come out of the reeds to hunt. Common Loons and Horned Grebes were seen on the creek itself, as were Hooded Mergansers. A good size flock of Scaup flew by overhead, but the real highlights were a group of Palm Warblers that came out into the open when I rigorously pished them out. Among them were a number of Yellow-rumped Warblers, the classic winter warbler of the southeastern United States. Other species like Ring-billed, Laughing, and Herring Gulls were also observed, and Double-crested Comorants were seen in the main river offshore in healthy numbers. Brown Pelicans could be seen further out as well. The park provides a really nice view out over the main bay looking towards the city of Charleston and Ft. Sumpter. Two years ago, Ruth & I had a heck of a surprise when a Bottlenose Dolphin put on a show just a few feet off where we were standing. No such luck this time, perhaps they prefer the low tide situation when the fish are funneled into a smaller volume of water. The Horned Grebes were enjoyable finds, diving and popping up pretty close to the boardwalk, much closer than I see them up on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel at least. After walking out and back, I headed home and we spent the rest of the day in the city.
One of the most unique among birds, this is the only bird that can break into a live Oyster shell, the American Oystercatcher!
On Saturday, my nephew got dropped off by his father and spent the day with the three of us. I had done some research on other potential wildlife outings in the area before I arrived, finding one that sounded to be a neat excursion. The Bull’s Island ferry. Leaving from Awendaw, this private ferry takes passengers out to Bull’s island, one of the barrier islands just off the coast a few miles. In between it and the mainland lies the saltmarsh, and the ferry ought to provide some great views of birds there. So the four of us took the 12:30 PM ferry to the island, hiked around for a few hours, and then headed back on the last ferry of the day at 4 PM. En route to the island, we saw a good number of American Oystercatchers, a personal favorite of mine. Horned Grebes, Buffleheads, and Hooded Mergansers were also seen. Surprisingly the Buffleheads flagged as a rarity on eBird, which had me scratching my head a bit since I saw about 40 of them throughout the afternoon. Several Bottlenose Dolphins were seen in the labyrinth of tidal creeks that flowed through the salt marsh, and the boat slowed each time we encountered them. Among the low tide mudflats, Willets, Dunlins, Dowitchers, and Black-bellied Plovers were seen. When we arrived at the island, it had taken about 45 minutes in total to navigate the shallow waters of the saltmarsh. Before we were able to step off the ferry, I noticed a large bird soaring over the island through my binoculars. With a massive bill, and outstretched white and black wings, the bird was recognizable even in shadows as a Wood Stork, a bird I’d never officially seen before, though I wonder if I had seen some in Florida when I was 17 years old when my family visited. Similar to an ibis, but much stronger looking, Wood Storks can be common along the coastline in the southeast though they don’t go much further north up the coast than this area, so I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. As it turned out, this was the only one I’d see on the day, so I’m glad I was the one that spotted it.
One of the rather large American Alligators that was pulled up on the banks of the freshwater marshes on Bull's Island in South Carolina!
After stepping off the boat and onto the island, we walked a little ways down a gravel roadway toward an open field that had a few buildings, including a bathroom. On the way, I pished a few times to get some warblers to come screaming in so Christopher could see them. Palm Warblers, Yellow-rumps, and even some Ruby-crowned Kinglets were the main species that came towards us when I’d make the pishing sounds, they seemed aggravated by it. Given the limited time on the island, we took the Turkey Walk Trail counter-clockwise, wandering through some pretty thick palmetto forest. Along the way, we saw some Eastern Phoebes, but it wasn’t until we crossed the Summerhouse Road and split between two large freshwater impoundments that the wildlife really began to show up. As we got to the first pond, birds scattered off the water and I wasn’t able to see them clearly enough, but figuring them to be Coots or Gallinules. While I was looking around for the birds, Ruth spotted a 7-8 foot long American Alligator on a mudflat out in the pond not far away. We figured we were lucky to see this one, and thought perhaps no one else from the ferry had seen any yet. From there, we walked down a side trail towards an observation platform, but the high water had overtopped the trail and we couldn’t make it to the end. There was no way I was walking through any water here after seeing the gator. When we got back to the Turkey Walk Trail, we continued on, and suddenly American Alligators started running off the trail into the waterways on both sides. There was at least 15-20 of them along the banks, and several more already swimming out in the water. One large gator held firm up on the bank, facing us, so we didn’t want to continue in our direction. Fortunately, some other people were approaching along the trail from the opposite side, and so we backed off, knowing that as they neared, the gator would run forward to escape. Once they’d cleared us a path, we kept walking, though while waiting, I did get some photographs of my very first Common Gallinules, of which there was probably 20-30 moving through the thick marsh vegetation!
My second new life bird of the trip, this is a female Common Gallinule, not showing quite as vibrant coloring as the males, but still a beautiful species!
Along the walk between the ponds, I took a lot of photographs of the gators, and it was amazing to see how well some of them could blend in with the freshwater marsh. Even some of the ones that had pulled themselves onto the bank were tough to see. From this trail, we ended up meeting back up with the Beach Road, after a half mile walk through more palmetto forest, where the mosquitoes were actually pretty bad, keeping us walking at a good pace to avoid them. At the Beach Road, we headed south and met the ocean, where we looked for shells, and Sand Dollars for a little while. Ruth found one that was still alive so we put it back in the water, and Heather finally found one that was almost complete, though Christopher accidentally broke it later in the walk, so it didn’t make it home in one piece. From the beach, it was roughly 1.5 miles back to the ferry, so we started off the walk, finding more alligators on this side of the pond, and many more Common Gallinules as well, bringing the number up to at least 30 of them seen on the day, not bad for a life bird. I tried pishing a few more times, bringing in some White-throated Sparrows, but almost exclusively Yellow-rumped Warblers. One Northern Mockingbird was added near the meadow with the bathrooms. A group of 17 White Ibis was seen out over the tidal marsh just before we reached the ferry, and while awaiting its arrival, I got some nice photographs of a brilliantly colored Savannah Sparrow in the grass while everyone else was oblivious. When we hopped back on the ferry, we had flybys of Buffleheads, and several Snowy & Great Egrets. Even on the trip back, we did good with the birds though the angle of the sun was making it hard to capture most in photos unless they were in the perfect spot. American Oystercatchers were again the highlight, but Willets, Dowitchers, and Plovers were seen as well. Only one dolphin was encountered on the return trip, and it was a brief sighting, though dolphins are tough to photograph, and most shots end up just being of the water’s surface. When we reached the dock, there was some Short-billed Dowitchers feeding alongside in the exposed mudflats, and a Great Blue Heron was also seen, adding to the wading bird count for the day. Next year, I might do the earlier ferry at 9 AM, and explore more of the island, as it seemed like quite a place for wildlife, and the further out I can get away from the casual visitors, the more I’m likely to see.
One of the birds many folks refer to as "little brown jobs". Clearly, when one gets a good look or photo, there is much more than just brown to these sparrows!

We’ve been taking time to feature various job opportunities for quadriplegics. This month, we will focus on motivational speaking. Many motivational speakers have a back story they refer to when addressing a crowd. Persons with quadriplegia definitely have a story to tell, which is why motivational speaking is one of the more popular jobs for quadriplegics.
A prime example is Chris Skinner, who we wrote about in a previous post. He uses his story to not only prevent others from making the same mistakes he did, but to also show that despite tragic events, you can go on to lead a normal and productive life.
Motivational speaking can command a very lucrative salary, along with additional benefits including travel and meals. Plus, you also get to meet and share your story with a lot of interesting people. Advances in adaptive equipment for quadriplegics, assistive technology for quadriplegics and communication devices for quadriplegics have all helped to make motivational speaking one of the more fun and viable jobs for quadriplegics.
Grid 3 software is an especially helpful tool when it comes to motivational speaking. Not only does it operate with various inputs, but it allows users to conduct research on the Internet, compose a speech and control their environment. It’s augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) features are pretty impressive as well. Accessibility Services, Inc. powers all of our environmental control units (ECU) – including the autonoME, which is an integrated ECU/speech generating device – with Grid 3 software.
If you are considering a career in motivational speaking, give us a call. We will make sure you have everything you need – from environmental control to AAC and more – to help fuel your success in this exciting career.

I stepped on a plane the other day to head to head to the Jayco Bay Series and realised the season has already begun. The down time, the offy, the pre-season and all the prep for the 2006 was complete or on its way there. Time had once again flown by. Since I last wrote in mid-November, way too long ago, Chrissy is over, the New Year has begun and I am another year older.
A lot of weekends stand out over the Christmas period, but one in particular was the trip to Shepparton in Victoria to go to Brett Lancaster and Ally Collins' wedding. The country folk really know how to throw on a shindig.
Thanks to the Tour of Queensland (mind you, I love that race) not being on, my season finished earlier and therefore started earlier. I got the chance to wind into training a little easier this year, rather than jumping straight into it, mixing km's with the gym and strength training. I started training two weeks earlier, I got a full eight weeks of gym in and got a quality two weeks of miles in over Christmas and therefore had a bit better form at the Bay Series. I had one race at Heffron Park late December to see how bad the form was, but was shocked to see it wasn't too bad. I even dusted the four years worth of cobwebs off my track bike and threw the leg over for a race.
After racing the Bay Series eight times, struggling to finish and never scoring a point (which required finishing in the top ten), I thought this year I might finish a few. Never in my mind did I think I'd be launching off the front riding like a man possessed. After the first crit I laughed, after the second I denied it, and after the third I just had to agree; I actually was travelling well in January, which I has never happened.
In Williamstown I was eighth, and a shocked result. I was attacking the whole race but just missed the winning move. Also, after nearly dropping it on the second last corner, I cornered the last corner like a hubbard, asking myself the question: "What's goin' on?", but realised after the finish I punctured my back wheel on the last lap, so that result could've been slightly better.
At Portarlington I went in motivated and confident I could win. I made the winning break and with a bit more hesitation from the boys when I attacked on the second last lap, who knows it could've paid off, but I was fifth.
In the Aussie Champs in Geelong it was a great win for Richard England while the leftovers in the bunch sprinted for fourth. I was eighth again and was asking questions like, "Why was I coming around the last corner of a crit on Robbie's wheel, what's goin on?" I don't usually get involved in bunch kicks and am actually already rolling in at the back after doing a lead out, this was totally new to me. To make things funnier I had now gained the lead in the sprint classification. Willo, the sprinter??
Day four and I had mates calling me up telling me there was a printing error on Cyclingnews.com, something about Willo in the sprint jersey, haha. The crit was around the Botanic Gardens in Geelong and is quite a hard circuit. Robbie got away with Will Walker and the bunch raced for third over the final few laps. I was starting to get marked a bit but was also happy to see the sprint points get taken by the others so I could keep the jersey. Once again, there was about 20 finishers to show how hard this year's crits were. I was 11th, outta the points.
The last day was around Melbourne Docklands and I was geed to keep the green jersey, but after 10mins I was on the ground after getting my rear derailleur caught in my back wheel, putting me in the barriers while my bike was in tatters. I couldn't get back out there. I had to watch the race go on, thinking I was going to lose the jersey. Luckily a break got away and took the last two sprints after Will Walker got second in the first sprint to move within one point.
So I came out of the Bay crits with the green jersey, three top tens, tenth overall, a broken bike, some skin off - but more importantly, confidence in the form for the nationals. I arrived in Adelaide today and am staying with my old sparring partner Russ for the next week.
