Some of our ongoing Locum Doctors share their reasons for why you should give Locum work a go.
Locum Doctors play a vital role across Australia, from respite for General Practitioners in remote practices to emergency relief at all levels of the hospital system. Doing locum work appeals to thousands of Doctors each year looking to fill gaps between jobs, gain more career flexibility or practice medicine in a wider, more challenging range of medical fields.
For Paediatrician and Clinical Director Dr Andrew Gardiner, it’s the autonomy and choice of work that appeals to him most: “The variety of locum placements Wavelength has to offer never ceases to amaze me. It’s a wonderful way to see some amazing parts of Australia and to learn from the variety of clinical practice you encounter,” he says.
Are you ready for a Locum adventure? Here are our Top 5 Reasons why we think you should give Locum work a go.
1. Take control of your career.
Your work life really does become your own as a locum Doctor. You can schedule your own holidays, plan work around family and earn what you need, including working extra hours to pay for a one-off cost, such as a holiday or a car. But when it comes to taking control of your career, there’s nothing better than a locum to experience a new location or work environment.
Melbourne Psychiatrist Dr James Whan had a successful private practice and was well respected by both his colleagues and patients. Then about a year ago, he felt like a new challenge and decided to explore his locum options with Wavelength.
“I wasn’t that serious about locum work to start with. But when job offers in tropical locations started turning up in my inbox, the Melbourne winter started to feel very long,” he says.
His first locum was in Albany WA, followed by Margaret River, then Cairns and Tasmania. Locum work has given James a great way to transition his career without having to make any permanent decisions. He has since decided to wind up his private practice and focus on Locum work for a year or two.
It’s the choice and variety of locum work that also appeals to many of Wavelength’s Doctors, including Emergency CMO and Registrar Dr Ferdinand Kotzyba. As a seasoned locum with almost 20 Wavelength locum placements under his belt, he loves the freedom of making his own roster, seeing different places and meeting different people.
“Every time I go somewhere for locum work, it’s a new challenge and it keeps me fresh and energised. I love taking control of my own career – and it’s a lot of fun too,” he explains.
2. Practice Indigenous health in some of our most remote communities.
Wavelength sends doctors all over Australia, but perhaps the most unique experience we offer is the chance to practice Indigenous health in some of our most remote communities.
Many of our doctors find the experience so rewarding they become regular Wavelength locums, such as Hobart-based Dr Amin Sadruddin.
“Outback locum work really is the antithesis of General Practice in cities. My days are always interesting, challenging and satisfying. Working in Indigenous health is a great use of my medical education and I often have to go back to first principles,” he says.
Aside from the clinical challenge, Dr Sadruddin feels privileged working in places he would not have normally visited as a tourist – and he gets paid.
3. Your job satisfaction will soar.
The reason hospitals or practices hire locum Doctors is because they have a desperate need. You’re providing an invaluable service and it’s a responsibility that should not be taken lightly.
For the past 12 months, Dr Farid Razzaghi has been one of Wavelength’s star remote locum GPs. When he first considered locum work, he was practising part time as a GP and part time in a city-based Emergency Department.
“I had always wanted to work in a location where I could combine both my primary care and emergency skills. And rural Queensland does not disappoint. My recent locum work in Doomadgee, Richmond and Julia Creek also appealed to my sense of adventure,” he explains.
For Farid, working as a locum Doctor has been challenging, but ultimately rewarding.
“There’s a great feeling of satisfaction when you manage to assist a patient with limited resources and everyone is happy with the outcome. You feel like a real Doctor using basic skills to deal with some complicated cases,” he says.
4. Achieve real flexibility and work life balance.
For many Doctors, locum work is a great way to achieve real career flexibility when they need it, at different times of life. A locum work schedule offers a flexible and manageable income stream. For Wavelength locum Dr Irandi Jayatilleke, a Breast, Endocrine and General Surgeon, this was the case during her maternity leave period.
“Wavelength was an amazing help organising locum work for me throughout my maternity leave. My recruitment consultant liaised with hospitals to make sure they supported me as a breastfeeding working mother and helped coordinate family friendly accommodation,” she says.
Similarly, semi-retired Physician Dr David Henderson has chosen hospital-based locums for the flexibility to work when he wants, doing work that suits his experience and that he enjoys.
“I’ve done nearly 50 locums in both regional and remote locations and have found the whole experience extremely rewarding. Most hospitals that need locum Doctors are minimally staffed and really need the help we provide,” he says.
He also enjoys the chance to have new experiences, and the opportunity to make a real difference to both communities and in sharing his skills with trainee Doctors.
When did you last treat a patient from first presentation to discharge? Have your ER and minor op skills wasted away in your urban practice? Locum work reconnects you with the front-line medical skills you used to enjoy when you started your career.
Since her maternity leave period, Dr Irandi Jayatilleke has had the chance to practice a diverse range of skills as a rural, sometimes remote, locum General Surgeon, maintaining skills she would not have used as a subspecialist Surgeon in metropolitan private practice.
“Working in Royal Darwin Hospital covering acute General Surgery has been my most rewarding locum experience. This role kept my skills up and gave me an insight into working with Indigenous communities. I really enjoy my visits there and find the work very satisfying,” she says.
Curious about trying a locum? Talk to us. Our experienced team of Locum recruitment consultants provide personalised service to find the perfect vacancy to suit your needs.
Specialists, GPs, Registrars, CMOs and Junior Doctors can locum for a few shifts, a weekend, or even a month. We work with your schedule.
Register with Wavelength to hear about the Locum roles we currently have on offer. You’ll be surprised at the variety.

Smrtguard-like app for the Incredible?
So for those of you coming from BlackBerry, you might know of Smrtguard - a fantastic app that lets you remote backup, remote wipe, audio ping, remote listen, and track your phone. It's a very handy security device in case you ever misplace your phone. Unfortunately, the Android Smrtguard app doesn't really work, at least not on the Incredible.
Does anyone know of a service or app that will provide that functionality?
Or u could use smartguard for android.
Seems pretty nice. Thinking about adding it to my phone just not sure yet.

Considering the fact that With the Grain of the Universe, Hauerwas’s Gifford lectures, was the first proper monograph written by Hauerwas since The Peaceable Kingdom (1983) it is hard not to feel a bit disappointed by the book. This could have been the book where Hauerwas finally presented his complete vision of the Church, the one where we finally see how his ”catholicism” fits together with his appreciation of Yoder, how all this comes together in a liturgically formed, radically political community.
of doing theology in which theological speech makes possible a world and a time that grant none of the assumptions of James and Niebuhr.
Now, Hauerwas’s reading of each of these three are interesting in themselves, and James does work very well as one that sets the scene for ”religion” in the 20th century. Hauerwas has of course treated Niebuhr several times before, so that part does perhaps not offer that much ”new” stuff. I have trouble with the chapters on Barth. Not becuase I find fault with Hauerwas’s reading of Barth, but Barth seems so uncomfortable in the role Hauerwas asings to him. Barth, is, as Hauerwas himself puts it, the hero of the story, since he provides the full treatment of God Hauerwas feels is necessary to be able to do theology, natural or otherwise (The Gifford lectures are supposed to deal with natural theology, so we see Hauerwas’s dilemma). Barth is the ”intellectual witness” that ultimately replaces argument as the principal form of talk about God. The problem is that Barth is the weakest where I find Hauerwas needs him the most, i.e. in the ecclesiology so to make the argument work Hauerwas has to use several tactics at the same time (develop Barth’s ”implicit” ecclesiology, develop what isn’t there, and discuss problems in Barth’s thought.) The paradoxical situation ends up being that although Barth is the hero, Hauerwas ends up being quite critical of him.
So, to be frank, what we get is a discussion on ”witness” that IMO goes in the wrong direction. Rather than using Barth as an example, together with Yoder and John Paul II, the more Hauerwasian mode would have been to point to concrete Church practice, and perhaps giving people like Dorothy Day more than a paragraph. Yes, what these people provide is ”intellectual witness”, but is not one of the problems of the Church in modernity, paradoxically and over-belief (as James would put it) in the intellectual as the primary mode of witness?
I suspect that the problem stems from Hauerwas’s approach to use previous Gifford lecturers to tell a story about 20th century theology – and idea he stole from MacIntyre. It might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but did not yield the best possible result, especially since Niebuhr has been treated elsewhere. Don’t get me wrong, I learned a lot from the book. It just feels a bit like a wasted opportunity.

Officers say the man locked himself in a bathroom and then gave them a fake name. Then police canine Otto went in.
A Redding resident found a stranger in his home Thursday night, and the 32-year-old man police later arrested wouldn't come out until police canine Otto went in, officers said.
Sgt. Brian Cole said the unidentified resident got home to the Premier RV Resorts about 7:45 p.m. and found Brandon Philip Frisbie, 32, of Redding, inside.
Frisbie locked himself in the bathroom, pulling the door shut so responding officers couldn't get to him, Cole said.
Officers eventually pried the door open and sent Otto in.
Cole said Frisbie lied about his name at first, but they eventually figured out who he was and realized he had a felony warrant out for his arrest.
After being treated at Shasta Regional Medical Center, Frisbie was arrested on suspicion of burglary, resisting arrest, the felony warrant and violating the terms of his post-release community supervision, Cole said.

It is the goal of Thousand Hills Realty to provide you with a well maintained property at the beginning of your lease, as well as work with you to maintain the property throughout your lease term. The best way to accomplish this is for us to work together to keep your home in tip top shape. Filling out the move-in inspection sheet that you are given when you signed your lease is one sure way to guarantee that we are aware of any issues that existed upon move in. From there we can create a work order and send someone out to fix these issues. If you have been living in your home for a while and something has gone wrong since you turned into your move-in sheet, you should report it immediately. Did you know that you can turn in a maintenance request online?
1) Am I responsible for any maintenance while leasing a property?
As the tenant, keeping the property you have leased neat and tidy lands in your list of responsibilities. It is your obligation to keep your property sanitary and in safe conditions. This includes keeping trash picked up, keeping plumbing fixtures clean, and being sure that you’re using all facilities and systems properly, such as using electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, air conditioning, elevator, and other systems as they were intended.
2) Will I be charged for any maintenance requests that I send in?
Maintenance required due to abuse or misuse will be your responsibility to pay. Items of this nature include, but are not limited to- items found in garbage disposals or other plumbing fixtures that do not belong there; calls reporting appliances not working properly, however they are working property and tenant is not using them properly, damage due to fire or flood caused by tenant neglect. You are not, however, held responsible for any costs associated with normal wear and tear.
3) Is there any upkeep that I as the tenant need to be doing?
Small upkeep such as changing light bulbs when they burn out or changing batteries in your smoke detector, generally fall into the hands of the tenant.
Touch up paint is also the duty of the tenant. The exception to this rule is if something was scuffed when you moved in. You will not be charged for these type of things as long as you listed it on your move-in inspection sheet. It is important to use the same paint color and sheen. If not, you may do more harm than good.
Keeping the carpets clean is also your responsibility. Any stains that you may create while living in your property should be cleaned immediately. It is also required upon moving out that the carpets be professionally cleaned.
4) What maintenance will Thousand Hills cover?
Thousand Hills Realty will facilitate all major maintenance issues. Among this list are all of the applianc es that came with your property, unless otherwise notated in your lease. Assuming that the appliance didn’t stop working due to misuse or abuse, or damage that could have otherwise been prevented. We will also take care of plumbing, air conditioning, and heating problems. If you have any maintenance issues at all, you should report them to our office via our website or by calling our office at (417) 337-8081.
Furnace filters will be changed on a quarterly basis during your mechanical unit inspection, if it is necessary. You will receive a schedule for these inspections in your move-in packet. You can read more on Quarterly Mechanical Unit Inspections on our website. Changing the filter the other eight months of the year is your responsibility. Typically, filters are inexpensive, and there are multiple benefits to keeping a clear filter in your HVAC unit, and most filter should be changed at least every 30 days.
5) Who takes care of the lawn maintenance?
When you sign your lease you should ask your property manager who is responsible for lawn care. Lawn care should also be outlined in your leasing agreement. Generally if you live in an apartment or condominium lawn care is the responsibility of the condo association. Tenants in a single family home customarily have the responsibility of lawn maintenance.
6) What about pest control?
Currently, pest control is provided once a month from March through October in most apartments and condominiums. You are provided with a schedule of pest control in your move-in packet as well. This service is free of charge to you unless you refuse entry or deny the provider to service the property. Infestation caused by you, most commonly flea infestations from pets, are your responsibility to treat. While we try to provide pest control services to all tenants when the need arises, this service is not guaranteed.
7) What if I have an emergency?
NOTE: Service is limited to the items listed above. We kindly request that you refrain from contacting our maintenance personnel unless it is absolutely necessary. Please also be advised that charges may apply if required repairs are due to resident negligence.
For after-hours maintenance service, please call (417) 337-0337.
While this is not an all-inclusive list, we hope to find this information helpful. We try to handle al maintenance items in a timely manner, however, some things are out of our control. Appliance repair and replacement can sometimes be time consuming, as are atypical maintenance items that may require multiple trips for diagnosis.
Should you have any other maintenance questions, you are more than welcome to call our office at (417) 337-8081. You can also check out our Tenant Hub for more information and access to convenient tenant features.

Deer Run Ranch is a gorgeous property ideal for hunting and cattle/horse grazing. The 852 acre ranch includes Brazos River frontage just a few miles southwest of Hempstead with rolling improved pastures and fertile alluvial bottomlands with fantastic hardwood forests including hundreds of pecan trees. It also has exceptional surface waters with several nice stocked ponds and a huge 60 + acre oxbow lake in addition to the 1.5 miles of Brazos River frontage. It is a wonderful mix of grasslands dotted with huge oaks, and thick forests teeming with game. All of this less than an hour from Houston.
The ranch is located on State Highway 159 approximately 3 miles southwest of downtown Hempstead. The ranch has over 4,500 of paved highway frontage and is just under an hour from downtown Houston. Besides easy access to restaurants and shops in Hempstead, it is also only close by to the charming towns of Chappell Hill and Bellville.
This large Brazos Valley ranch has a wonderful diversity of terrain. Portions of the property are classic bottomland along the Brazos River and Lewisville creek which runs through the middle of the ranch and includes huge oaks, pecans, elms, cottonwoods and sycamores towering over rich alluvial soils with mixed pasture and heavier brush. There is also a large open pasture (over 100 acres) in the middle of the bottomland forests that is currently used for hay grazing, but has been used for row crops in the past and portions would make fantastic food plots for deer or for dove hunting. This part of the ranch is full of Whitetail deer, hogs, dove and duck along with the local predators.
The other portion of the ranch has significant relief as the property rises above the creek and river bottoms. Oaks dominate this portion of the ranch with sandy soils and beautiful vistas overlooking the countryside. The high country has improved pastures and with sandy loam soils is ideal for running cattle or using as horse pastures. The Deer Run Ranch is an ideal property for the avid hunter, outdoorsman or cattle and equine usages.
The ranch is well fenced with multiple pastures for rotating cattle and the exterior fences are in good condition. There are very nice roads throughout much of the ranch, including a beautiful waterfall creek low water crossing over Lewisville Creek, reminiscent of the hill country backing up water in the creek to make a small lake.
Water is a major attraction to this ranch, which includes 1.5 miles of the Brazos River, several nice stocked ponds and Perry Lake, a 60+ acre oxbow lake. There are several areas where the river is accessible and the oxbow lake is a very unique feature which is easily accessible and makes for great waterfowl hunting during duck season and good fishing most of the year. Groundwater on the ranch is shallow and plentiful. Lewisville creek which runs through the property almost is always running and has rocky bottoms in parts with huge trees lining it.
There is also an opportunity to purchase an additional 300 + acres in the bottomland which is contiguous to Deer Run ranch and includes heavy forests and agricultural fields with over 2 additional miles of Brazos River frontage.

Hey there!! Hope you had an AMAZING holiday!! We enjoyed ours greatly and now I’m ready to move into the New Year. I’ve had a few lingering projects that I’ve mentioned here and there, I wanted to get those wrapped up and posted for y’all here on the blog. One of those was the sliding door in my laundry/craft room. I haven’t shown much of the laundry side of the room but I’m hoping to fix that over the next week. Here’s a refresher of what the craft room opposite the laundry looks like.
The entrance to this room is right off of our kitchen. It had a couple of louvered doors on it that we really didn’t like. They looked bad but they also made the door opening super narrow so that every time I tried to carry a laundry basket out I’d bang it into the doors. Not cool. No form. No function.
How pretty is that wood?!?! And can we talk about how I hung it once I got it lookin’ all fine?
First I pre-drilled holes into the top of my would-be sliding door. (I didn’t want to split my wood after all of the hard work I put into stripping the paint off of it!) Then I screwed the eye hooks into the top of the door. You will definitely need a partner in crime for this project. Four hands will certainly be better than two.
Next, pre-drill and attach your two casters onto the bottom of the door. Stand your door up and slide your long plumbing conduit through the eye hooks on top of your door. Hold your door and conduit in place to get a feel for where you want it to hang. Keep in mind, most of the weight of the door is being supported by the casters on the floor. The eye hooks and pipe are just a guide for the door to slide on.
Mark where your flanges will go. Luckily for me, I had a space where I could hang my pipe from wall to wall. If you aren’t that lucky you can buy a curved joint to add to your pipe to hang it on the wall above your door opening.
Put your sliding door to the side and screw one floor flange into place. Bring your door and pipe back over and screw one end into the flange. Get your other flange and screw onto the opposite end of the pipe. Have your helper hold the door in place while the other flange is attached to the wall and you’re done!!
It’s absolutely perfect Leigh Anne! LOOOOOOOVE it!
It looks so amazing, Leigh Anne! I love that you kept it natural because that wood is gorgeous! The story behind it is so inspiring and makes this project all the more special. Love projects like that! Awesome job, friend.
Your door looks awesome and your craft room does too! Oh my gosh what an inspiring space to work in!
Thanks Katie, I’m loving it!!
How easily does it slide?
There’s a hole from a knob that used to be in it. We never put a pull there, just used the hole. It doesn’t lock but we didn’t need it to either.
Cool! Thanks for the reply/answer . . . ‘Twas a good job.
What a labor of love! It’s beautiful!
Thanks for stopping by Lori. And thanks for the compliment!!
Fighting your way out of depression is no joke. I love that this beautiful door represents you victory! Thanks so much for sharing your struggle and such an awesome tutorial!
I love so many things about this post! First of all, I love the design and it looks great. (And I’m salivating over your craft space!) But I also really love the story that goes behind it. What a beautiful outcome from a tough time, and I can really relate! Thanks for sharing.
Just gorgeous! Congrats on a beautiful addition to a great space!!
So so gorgeous. And now that I know the wonderful story of the process, It’s even more beautiful. That’s what makes blogging so special, doesn’t it? Everything means more when we know the story and the struggles behind the pretty pictures. I hope that you are feeling stronger. Have a blessed day!
I totally going to do this. The basement door is off of our kitchen, and it’s doorless right now. Ugh! This is the perfect solution. I’m new to your blog and loving it.
Amazing, genius, liberating from any impediments to diy.
I really do not know how to thank you for this, it seems like the miracle solution.

SouthworldCulture May 2017Balanites Aegyptiaca. A multi-purpose tree.
Balanites aegyptiaca is commonly known as desert date or Egyptian balsam. It is a small to medium-sized dry-land shrub or tree belonging to the Zygophyllaceae plant family. In traditional medicine it is used to treat and manage wide ranges of diseases.
This is plant is multi-branched, growing up to l0m in height with a spherical crown, in one or several distinct masses. The trunk is short and often branching from near the base and the bark is dark brown to grey. The branches have long, straight green or yellow thorns/spines arranged in spirals. The dark green compound-leaves grow out of the base of the spines and are made up of two leaflets which are variable in size and shape, obovate, asymmetric, bright green, leathery, with fine hairs when young. Flowers in fascicles in the leaf axils are inconspicuous and hermaphroditic. The fruit is a drupe and rather long, green and tormentose when young, turning yellow and glabrous when mature with a stone-like seed.
Balanites aegyptiaca is native to most African countries, stretching from arid and semi-arid regions to sub-humid savanna. It is intolerant to shady areas and prefers open woodland or savannah instead for natural regeneration. It is a lowland species, growing up to 1,000m altitude in areas with mean annual temperature of 200C to 300C and mean annual rainfall of 250mm to 400 mm.
As a multi-purpose tree, Balanites aegyptiaca provides food, medicines, cosmetics, fodder, fuelwood and pesticides to the populace. The tree is highly valued for subsistence living in the arid and semi-arid areas where other options are few. There is a long history of use of this plant in traditional medicine to treat and manage wide ranges of diseases. All parts of the plant – stem bark, roots, fruits, seeds, seed oil, and leaves – are widely used in folk medicine.
The stem bark of Balanites aegyptiaca decoction or infusion is used to relieve spasms of smooth muscle and to treat diabetic conditions. The bark latex is administered through intranasal route to treat epilepsy and orally to treat chest pain, joint pain, sore throat, and toothache. In addition, the mixture of bark latex and bark decoction is used in treatment of yellow fever as well as malaria. The freshly cut stem branch is used as a toothbrush to cure bleeding gum and manage toothache. Furthermore, the bark infusion is used in the treatment of syphilis, round worm infections, sterility, and mental disease. In some circumstances, the bark decoction is used as an abortifacient and as an antidote for arrow-poison in West Africa.
The leaf infusion is used as an antiseptic to clean wounds and quicken their healing. A mixture of dried leaves powder of Balanites aegyptiaca and Ricinus communis in water is administered as a contraceptive in some African communities.
The root infusion is used as an emetic in East Africa and just like the stem bark, the root decoction is also administered for the treatment of malaria across many communities. Furthermore, the root infusion is used in treatment of abdominal pain, syphilis, edema, heart burn, stomach ache, and as a purgative. In some communities, the root bark is crushed and mixed with cold water, filtered and administered as a contraceptive. The mixture of root and stem decoction together with other herbs is used to treat snake bites.
For asthmatic conditions, a given quantity of the seed powder is taken with a glass of water for a specified period of time to manage it. The seed powder is also used widely in East Africa as an antihelmintic, expectorant, antibacterial, antifungal, and as a febrifuge. The seed oil is used to treat tumors and wounds. The seed oil is also used as a laxative, and as a treatment of hemorrhoid, stomachaches, jaundice, yellow fever, syphilis, skin disorders, and epilepsy.
The fleshy fruit pulp of Balanites aegyptiaca is mixed with porridge and eaten by nursing mothers in addition to the seed oil to improve lactation. The edible mesocarp is often used to treat whooping cough, leucoderma, and other skin diseases. The fruit juice is taken orally as a treatment of jaundice, dysentery, and as hypoglycemic to increase the body blood sugar level.
Furthermore, the Balanites aegyptiaca fruit is used to treat liver diseases and also as a purgative. The fruit is sucked by school children as a confectionary in some countries. The kernel oil and fruit pulp is used for deworming, especially in children. In addition, the fruits are dried and mashed in millet porridge and eaten to treat and manage diabetic conditions. The raw fruit is used to treat liver and spleen disorders.
The tree is considered valuable in arid regions because it produces fruit even in dry seasons and the fruits can be fermented for alcoholic beverages in addition to other uses. The oil extracted from the kernel is rich in saturated fatty acids and can be used as cooking oil. The seed cake remaining after the oil has been extracted is commonly used as animal fodder. The yellow, single-seeded fruit is edible, but bitter. Many parts of the plant are used as famine foods in Africa; the leaves are eaten raw or cooked as a vegetable in the dry season. The oily seed is boiled to make it less bitter and eaten mixed with sorghum, and the flowers can also be eaten. The plant is also used as firewood, building materials, life fences, and for poisoning fish by fishermen. These numerous above-named attributes of Balanites aegyptiaca make it one of the most popular plants across the African continent and especially in the areas where they grow.

Denver Bicycle Accident Attorney | No Recovery, No Fee!
On the spectrum of injury accidents, bicycle accidents often seem to be taken lightly. Many don’t understand the risks of riding a bicycle, much less the extent that an injury can have on your life. Personal injury Attorney Todd Bovo regularly competes in the Triple Bypass and is also a four-time IronMan. It’s safe to say he knows just how bad a bicycle accident can really be and how much compensation a cycling accident victim truly deserves.

Keep on reading below to learn more about how we can help!
Begin your journey to just compensation by contacting Bovo Law, LLC today! We operate on a contingency fee basis, so you don't pay unless we win.
The most important question in any accident case is who is liable for the accident that caused the victim to be injured. Bicycle accidents are some of the most difficult cases to establish liability since there are different rules governing cyclists and automobiles. In fact, some of the rules that cyclists adhere to put them in danger rather than protecting them.
It is not uncommon for negligent drivers and their insurance companies to attempt to hold the injured cyclists at fault for the bicycle accident. Many drivers view cyclists as a nuisance and do not even know the specific road regulations that cyclists follow in order to maintain public safety. At Bovo Law, LLC, our firm believes that bicyclists in Denver deserve the same equal rights on the road as motorists. We are very familiar with Denver's bicycle laws and will devote our resources to building a case against the driver who hurt you.
Call our experienced bicycle accident lawyers at (720) 262-2495 to schedule a free consultation for your case!
While there are some regulations that cyclists share with vehicle drivers, there are also many regulations that are specific to cyclists. Cyclists must abide by these regulations. In fact, failure to do so can negatively impact a bicycle accident case.
It’s important for cyclists to be aware of bike-specific regulations, especially concerning the sharing of roadways. Our Denver bike accident lawyers can effectively investigate the circumstances surrounding your accident and fight for just compensation from the liable parties. We provide each of our clients with the individual attention that their case needs in order to achieve results. Due to our thorough approach to case preparation, we’ve established a track record of success!

BEIJING, Oct 19 (Reuters) – A Shenzhen-based commodity exchange controlled by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing unexpectedly began spot trading on Friday, giving the HKEX much-coveted access to mainland China's market.
The launch of Qianhai Mercantile Exchange (QME), located just 50 kilometres (30 miles) from Hong Kong, brings to an end a long wait for HKEX and its chairman Charles Li, who bought the London Metal Exchange (LME) in 2012 for access to the world's biggest metals consumer.
Li had said in May that HKEX needed "a lot of patience" to develop its business in mainland China, with his pursuit of LME warehousing in the country failing to make headway.
The QME said the first product to trade on the exchange on Friday was alumina, the substance used to make aluminium, rather than a metal itself.
Alumina prices have soared this year amid U.S. sanctions on United Company Rusal, outages at Norsk Hydro's Alunorte refinery in Brazil and a strike at Alcoa's operations in Western Australia.
The first spot transaction saw 3,000 tonnes of alumina change hands between Chalco Trade, a unit of state-run Aluminum Corp of China, and Xiamen Xiangyu, at a price of 3,030 yuan ($437.23) a tonne, the QME said in a statement.
The LME is expected to launch its own cash-settled alumina futures contract early next year. HKEX rival the Shanghai Futures Exchange (ShFE) said last month it would release a draft alumina futures contract by the end of this year or early next year.
"The mainland China alumina industry has always called for changes to existing trading and pricing models, and there is an urgent need to establish an open and transparent spot trading mechanism to provide market participants with a credible price benchmark," it added.
The QME, which will trade from 0900-1545 (0100-0745 GMT) from Monday to Friday, without the midday break used by the ShFE, said it will waive fees until the end of the year to encourage more online transactions.

«If left untreated, osteoporosis makes your bones as fragile as porcelain»: this is the claim of ‘The BoneTour 4 Sicily’, a campaign promoted by FIRMO — Italian Foundation for Research on Bone Diseases with Amgen and Echolight — that will take place from 11 to 23 May in the squares of 9 cities of Sicily. It is estimated that in Sicily over 560,000 women are at risk of fragility fractures, as consequence of untreated osteoporosis. Fragility fractures and the risk of possible re-fractures can be avoided with adequate prevention and timely drug treatment.
The initiative will see events of one to two days in the squares of the main Sicilian cities, where will be placed a gazebo and a camper that will involve the population in different activities: information and prevention, thanks to the distribution of educational material and the presence of medical specialists and nutritionists who will answer citizens’ questions; screening, by completing a questionnaire and with the free risk assessment of fracture through the measurement of bone mineral density by specialized personnel. On board the camper will be used our innovative EchoS device, the first system, for the early diagnosis of osteoporosis through a simple radiation-free examination, quick and accurate and without the use of ionizing radiation at the reference sites: lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck.
After the success of the last editions that have involved many Italian capitals over the years, this year’s campaign is entirely dedicated to Sicily. «Our goal is to reach the greatest number of people and concentrate the campaign in a region allows us to be more capillaries — says Maria Luisa Brandi, President of FIRMO and Director of SOD of Diseases of Mineral Metabolism and Bone University Hospital Careggi of Florence — we want to increase Sicilian awareness of the risk of fracture associated with bone fragility. Healthy eating, physical activity and timely treatment can help to significantly improve the prognosis and safeguard bone health. Today innovative drugs are available, such as denosumab, which, in addition to being effective, have the advantage of being able to be administered subcutaneously twice a year, even at home, with obvious benefits in terms of adherence to therapy and quality of life of patients » .
«A fracture is a traumatic event that involves a significant reduction in the quality of life of people, if we then speak of fractures of the femur or the column these have a strong impact on life expectancy — says Michele D’Arienzo, Director of the Clinic Orthopedics and Traumatology, University of Palermo — being often associated with pain, disability and death; in particular, 80% of people fractured in the femur within the first year of the fracture have disability, 40% do not walk around anymore and about 20% die. Added to this is the very high risk of subsequent fractures «.
Prevention of osteoporosis serves to preserve bone strength. Pharmacological treatments may be associated with interventions on nutrition and physical activity. Anti-reabsorptive drugs are available today, which slow down bone resorption, and anabolic drugs that increase bone formation.
«In Sicily, over 19,000 fractures of fragility occur every year — explains Giulia Letizia Mauro, Director of the UOC for Rehabilitation, Department of Neurosensory and Motory Surgery, A.O.U.P. Paolo Giaccone di Palermo — Innovative therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, determine a significant reduction in the risk of fracture at vertebral, non-vertebral and femoral levels. These therapies, thanks to a simple method of administration, improve the persistence of treatment, which is the real problem of chronic diseases such as osteoporosis. The lack of adherence to therapy, with a percentage of neglect that is close to 50%, is one of the reasons why many women, even if treated, are fractured «.

When we fostered I made sure an empty case was given to the child to use to pack as all too often they came to us with black bin liners, such a disgrace!
Kudos to this young man!
Beautiful. One question, does anyone know if foster parents provide bags/clothing for their foster child?
I wish we had a few here in my country. Sigh.

Happy weekend and happy birthday to Jon!
I love reading your updates on Ford...and your updates on Lucy. I have a 15 month old, Ellie, so it is so nice reading about other mommy bloggers! I was wondering what Ipad games you use with Ford? Ellie is obsessed with our Ipad but I haven't found anything she actually likes playing yet.
He is so adorable! My little guy will be 2 tomorrow and I can no longer get him to stay still for photos!
This is just the cutest thing and makes me so excited for the things we still have ahead of us!

As much as I miss the greens and whites of northern Wisconsin, I’ve long been in love with the purple orange sunsets of the Arizona desert.
This song owes much to The Sons of the Pioneers, especially by way of Michael Nesmith’s album Tropical Campfires and the songs Moon Over the Rio Grande and Twilight on the Trail.
Sheriff Ed Tom Bell in “No Country for Old Men” spends a lot of time talking about what’s wrong with the world, and making a lot of sense.
Please note: I’m apolitical. I see a lot wrong with the whole world, not just one country, and the ‘country’ McCarthy referred to in Bell’s monologues was the region he lived in, not a geopolitical entity. I’d hate for anyone to think I had a bone to pick with any particular person, place or thing. But if you read Cormac McCarthy, stuff like this is bound to leak back out eventually.
I intentionally sang it in too low a key to get the sound I wanted.

The return of violent white-supremacist rallies to the city is a special threat to its African American community, but not a new one.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—For the black community, life goes on. On Monday morning, painted-over swastikas and anti-fascist signs still decorated corners on the main streets. News vans still zipped around town, and stragglers still ventured to visit the statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in Emancipation Park and the street corner a few blocks away, where 32-year-old Heather Heyer was struck and killed by a car allegedly driven by white-nationalist James Fields. But when I walked into the Cherry Avenue Barber Shop, nobody was talking about the return of the Klan or the violence that had just rocked the city and the country.
“Yo, did you watch Power?” One patron, who only identified himself as Brandon, was busy leading a dialogue about the Starz television show, the latest episode of which was released just hours after President Trump’s first ill-conceived comments on Heyer’s death. The conversation turned, as barbershop conversations often do, on the show and on bits of culture. What the hell is Tasha doing? Why is Tariq always in the wrong place at the wrong time?
Cooke’s comments sparked the barely contained discussion about the Ku Klux Klan that seemed to wait behind every topic of everyday banter. What I encountered in Charlottesville wasn’t fear, but familiarity. Black Charlottesville has dealt with racism, has been born and raised under statues of Lee and Jefferson, and has fought the Klan. And it has lived with—and lives with—white supremacy.
Just a short drive down the road, people shuffled in and out of the Brown’s convenience store. Four old-school gas pumps dominate the parking lot outside, and customers can get a free piece of fried chicken if they fill up their tanks. During the day, members of the Brown family operate the establishment, and fry baskets of the chicken made by the same family recipe that’s been around for generations. When it’s fresh, the chicken is golden-brown, hot, and delicious, and stains the paper bags in which it is passed out.
Since the dawn of the Second Klan in the early 1900s, the hate group has had a presence in Charlottesville, and donated to the University of Virginia in 1921. In the 1950s, during and after the 1954 Brown v. Board Supreme Court decision, Charlottesville was a hotbed for “massive resistance” campaigns by white citizens against integration, which inevitably attracted the attention of white-supremacist leaders. According to Michael James’s book The Conspiracy of the Good, after Brown outlawed segregation in public schools, white Charlottesville dragged its feet. Sarah Patton Boyle, a white civil-rights activist in the area, wrote articles trying to persuade white citizens to accept the ruling.
In the summer of 1956, Washington, D.C., White Citizens’ Council and Ku Klux Klan leader Frederick John Kasper, along with Alabama Klan leader Asa Carter—who later co-wrote Alabama Governor George Wallace’s infamous 1963 “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever” line—led rallies of white supremacists in McIntire Park. The whites-only park was named after benefactor Paul Goodloe McIntire, who also donated the park and the Lee statue at the center of last weekend’s violence. Those Klan rallies ended with Klan members burning crosses in Boyle’s yard. Eventually white people simply closed all of the schools in Charlottesville instead of suffering integration, and created their own private school system. One of those schools was named after Robert E. Lee.
Although their resistance eventually waned, and Charlottesville schools were integrated, white supremacy would still exert its will against black people in the area. By the 1960s, the virtually all-black district of Vinegar Hill found itself in the crosshairs of a Charlottesville “urban renewal” program, which sought to redevelop increasingly valuable land between the University of Virginia and downtown. Wielding a new ordinance allowing the city to take control of and demolish unsanitary homes, the city council proposed and Charlottesville citizens voted in 1964 to bulldoze the entire neighborhood, and provide public housing for the residents elsewhere.
Black Vinegar Hill residents had no power to stop the demolition, because—just a year before the Voting Rights Act—they were mostly disenfranchised by a poll tax. A plaque near the place Vinegar Hill used to stand, which now hosts coffee shops and trendy restaurants, notes simply that “many of the residents were denied a say in their own future.” That plaque stands just blocks away from where Heather Heyer was killed Saturday.
It’s this white-supremacist legacy—which many living members of the community experienced firsthand—that animates much of the black response to the resurgence of violent rallies in the area.
To McDowell’s point, even Charlottesville has much deeper racial problems than removing a statue can fix. The same process of displacement that destroyed Vinegar Hill is still uprooting black communities in town. The proportion of black residents in Charlottesville is steadily declining, as is the percentage of black students enrolled at UVA. Black families make up barely any of the households in the city making over $60,000 a year, and according to McDowell, few black employees of the university can afford to live in town, and many live outside the city in lower-income neighborhoods developing on highway corridors.
Even for those who manage to live in the city, black people make up 70 percent of all warrantless “stop and frisk” pat downs from police, despite making up less than 20 percent of the population. And despite living in an especially protected enclave, black students at UVA are not immune to that brutality, a fact illustrated in blood in 2015 when Martese Johnson was beaten by officers outside of a city liquor store.
We must remember that the Ku Klux Klan, Alt-Right, and all other radical right revolutionaries are mere spawns and remnants of larger institutions that have made it their business to discriminate against difference.
For activists in the area, that connection between the sensational violence of the Klan and other hate groups, and the daily discrimination that black people in Charlottesville face, is one that precious few leaders are willing to make.

This piece of work was one that Miss Austen never got to finish. She died before being able to complete this. So it is a hard rough draft for sure and only about 60 pages (depending on what edition you read).
Even though this was never finished it is a must read, especially if you are an Austen fan. It is interesting to see a work in progress by an accomplished author like her. There is not a lot of plot here. It just seemed like possible scenes and possible dialogue. There is some character building that began but there was still some work to do.
I do want to read some "completed" versions by other authors...just for curiosity-sake.I do feel like this would be fun to explore. I wish that Miss Austen was able to complete this, because I do feel like this might have been a really popular one. It sure was good in just the little she left us.
Now that I have all her works read, I am not sure where to go now. LOL. Maybe I can do some re-reading and write reviews for those that do not have my "official" review on here. We shall see...I do have lots to read. On the other hand...I am addicted to her works.....soooo we shall see.
Again, this is a rough draft, but worth the read just to see what might've been. I'll give this a 3.
B, I thought I had too, but I realized I didn't recall a single thing.
Melliane, it's not her most popular for sure.
Ana, yes! Interesting indeed. I do wish she would've finished this.

Howling Latina has a good post up on the five guys who Senators Warner and Webb have jointly nominated for appointment to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. The list has some men on it for whom I have great respect. But, I have to ask ... at a time when nearly 50% of all law students are women, and when there are a significant number of well-respected partners in law firms and women serving as state court judges, the Senators couldn't find a single qualified woman to nominate?
Sorry, guys, but 52% of the population deserves meaningful representation on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, and it's time for Virgina to join Maryland, South Carolina and North Carolina as states in the circuit that have a woman among their representatives on this important federal bench.
The bar associations need to do a better job of identifying qualified women (and minorities) for the Senators to consider, and the Senators need to agree that they won't send up a list of nominees for any judicial appointment that isn't inclusive of qualified women and minorities.
There was a time when you could defend the decision to nominate only men for an opening on a federal court bench saying there weren't enough women with the requisite experience at the bar to qualify, but that time has long since past.
Our Senators need to do better and women in Virginia, and, particularly women attorneys in Virginia, should expect more.
Who said this and why?
See if you can identify who said this, when and why.
The salutary purpose of the statute is clear. The Legislature had seen the baneful effects of permitting foreigners, who had taken residence in this country, to rear and educate their children in the language of their native land. The result of that condition was found to be inimical to our own safety. To allow the children of foreigners, who had emigrated here, to be taught from early childhood the language of the country of their parents was to rear them with that language as their mother tongue. It was to educate them so that they must always think in that language, and, as a consequence, naturally inculcate in them the ideas and sentiments foreign to the best interests of this country. The statute, therefore, was intended not only to require that the education of all children be conducted in the English language, but that, until they had grown into that language and until it had become a part of them, they should not in the schools be taught any other language. The obvious purpose of this statute was that the English language should be and become the mother tongue of all children reared in this state.
The answer will appear later in the comments.
The amendment Senator Jim Webb (D Virginia) is offering to the comprehensive immigration bill that will be debated in the Senate next week is not a positive one unless you favor the status quo that encourages scofflaws and worse.
Senator Webb's amendment (#1313) cuts the heart out of one of the key components of the bill -- getting the millions of undocumented people now in the US out of the shadows and on the path to earned legalization and citizenship.
"People who say 'no amnesty' or that we are not going to do anything with the individuals who are here are basically looking at a fairy tale….The people who actually have put down long roots in these communities, we need to find a process to bring them properly into society and into the work force."
Senator Webb's amendment will deny millions of hard working immigrants and their families now in the United States any hope of earned legalization.
Senator Webb's amendment would only allow people to have the chance to earn legalization if they have been in the United States for four years prior to the date the bill is passed and are employed.
Even the people who can meet this standard would be denied the opportunity to become legal unless they can prove to the Director of the Department of Homeland Security that they have "sufficient community ties" to be allowed to walk the path to earned legalization and citizenship.
and have paid taxes (also, if this means income taxes, difficult to accomplish as an individual if you can't get a bank account).
Senator Webb's amendment will leave millions of people now in the United States without documentation or the lawful right to remain in our country.
With Senator Webb's amendment, the Senate compromise would be neither comprehensive nor a reform.
The millions who would remain undocumented under Webb's proposal would continue to live in the shadows, creating opportunities for economic and criminal exploitation, requiring billions to be spent on law enforcement to identify them and remove them, and continuing to feed the political frenzy that increasingly surrounds this issue at the state and local level.
Senator Webb's amendment would also divide families, allowing some members to get on a path to citizenship and leaving others behind.
It would leave state and local officials dealing with the millions not allowed to even enter the process toward legalization.
Senator Webb's amendment would create a bureaucracy that is neither workable nor likely to be funded to meet the demand.
Senator Webb’s amendment would require the Department of Homeland Security to make millions of individualized decisions before people are admitted to the legalization process. The bill as introduced requires a criminal background check and payment of a fine before a Z visa is issued and adds requirements as the person progresses along an 8 year path to full legalization (learning English, getting a job, etc).
The effect of Senator Webb’s amendment would be to make the decades long backlogs now familiar to anyone trying to adjust status or seek permission to immigrate look speedy.
Senator Webb says that his amendment would introduce "fairness" into the "broken immigration system." The immigration system is broken, but his amendment is anything but "fair." A system, like our present system, that isn’t either efficient or effective is not fair.
Senator Webb has indicated that his amendment was motivated, in part, by a desire to protect American workers.
Leaving millions of hard working immigrants in the shadows where they can be further exploited will do nothing to protect American workers.
Only when we have a system that works with our economy and makes legal immigrant workers the rule rather than the exception will we have a system that protects American workers.
Webb's amendment will do nothing to remove the incentives for economic and criminal exploitation that currently exist and will ensure that we continue to have a system where immigrant workers are vulnerable to unscrupulous employers who work them in unsafe conditions and too often fail to pay wages that they have earned.
Senator Webb's amendment is not good for Virginia or for the United States, and it should be defeated.
Note: Full disclosure ... I am working as the Virginia coordinator for the Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform which sees the proposed Senate bill as the first step in a long process that we hope will produce a final bill for the President's signature that reunites families, ensures national security, protects workers, and provides a path to citizenship for immigrants who uphold and embrace American values of hard work, family, patriotism, and faith. If you want to know more about the bill and the Coalition or make your views known, you can find more information at www.cirnow.org.
Take a look at the winning videos in the annual CPAN video documentary contest for middle and high school students. Topics range from gay marriage to global warming to intelligent design to a woman president and immigration.
The winning video documentary, "Jupiter or Bust," was done by high school students in Jupiter, Florida, and documents the town's constructive response to the growing number of Guatemalan immigrants now living in Jupiter. Watch the video and the interview with the poised high school student who made the film and share it with your children. The teen's mature, measured, thoughtful, and sympathetic portrayal of the immigrant community in his town is a lesson for all of us.
You'll see none of the raw, negative, and largely uninformed, emotion infecting much of the debate on immigration today. Just three teenagers telling a story about a town's decision to address a problem in their community (laborers lining a main street looking for jobs) without acrimony or political flame throwing.
I hope we can let the younger generation be our teachers here as they have been on other issues like seatbelt usage and smoking.

Water Reed, sometimes known as Norfolk Reed, is the longest lasting of all thatching materials. Distinguishable through its sharp features and single coat, water reed should last a minimum of 40-50 years, with some examples lasting up to 100 years, with the roof having a new ridge every 10-15 years.
When thatching using water reed, all existing material is removed down to the rafters. At this stage, the roof structure is assessed, with repairs to the timbers carried out where required. This is the perfect opportunity to install loft insulation and spray all existing timbers in dry rot and woodworm treatment, services which we offer. As a minimum, a breathable membrane is used to enclose the roof space, with battens then installed. Fire protection products can also be installed, something we can discuss and advise on as required, with our detailed knowledge of fire protection products.
The water reed is then applied, thatched 14-16” thick, fixed by thatching crooks holding steel rod, these are driven into the rafters.
Once all the water reed is applied, the ridge is installed, with a block/raised ridge used. As standard, all our work is fully wire netted, using 19 gauge, heavy-duty netting, not larger gauge or cheaper options.

Bail Bond Company Lynchburg: What Happens In A Bail Hearing?
What Can You Expect At A Lynchburg Bail Hearing?
Prior to having to show up for your court date, it can be nice to know a little bit more about to expect. These are, of course, things like what the purpose of the hearing is, who will or can be present, what sorts of issues that are going to be addressed and what you are expected to do as the defendant. Having a better idea of the different elements of a bail hearing can not only assist you to get a better outcome but it can also just help to ease some of the anxieties that come with having to sit before a judge. As bail bondsmen in Lynchburg, we don’t have to do much besides wait for your hearing to occur to offer our services. However, getting to jail is just the first step for you as the defendant. Continue reading below to uncover a few things you should know before you head to your bail hearing.
A bail hearing is a process of the court during which a judge will decide whether or not the defendant should be allowed to post bail and be released from jail leading up to his/her day in court, as well as during said trial.
What is the Purpose of a Bail Hearing?
The entire purpose of this hearing is to inquire whether or not the defendant is likely to try and skip town before their trial takes place. This hearing also is where the judge will decide what amount of money (if any) the defendant must pay in order to be released on bail.
Who is Present at a Bail Hearing?
For the most part, since the judge is presiding over the decision, there typically is no reason at all to have a jury present. The defendant will be present, as well as the defense attorney (if already issued). Additionally, spectators are also welcome in most hearings.
What Determines the Outcome of a Bail Hearing?
It is your responsibility as the defendant, and the responsibility of your attorney to give enough evidence regarding the factors listed above. The most proof you have that you are not a flight-risk, the better the chances are that you will be allowed out on bail.
In the case that you are granted bail in your hearing, we would suggest that you contact us as Affordable Bail Bonding immediately. Our team of professional and discreet bondsmen know how to get you out of jail fast once the bail amount has been set and that is precisely what we will do. Call us today to learn more about how we can help you or a someone you love after they have been locked up.

I am a rising junior majoring in Policy Analysis and Management at Cornell University. I plan to pursue my PhD in economics. I am particularly interested in behavioral economics, and hope to perform experimental research on topics such as time preference and bounded rationality. I grew up on a horse farm in upstate New York, so when I’m not in the research lab I love being outside, whether that means riding horses, riding bikes, or hiking!
Seats at Boston charter schools are assigned by lottery. These lotteries are administered independently by each charter school, and before fall 2016 each charter school had its own lottery application. On November 1, 2016, the Boston Charter School Alliance launched an online common application that allows families to apply to several charter schools at once. To investigate the effect of this policy change on the behavior of families applying to charter schools, we need to know: 1) how many students applied to charter schools before and after the policy change 2) how many charter schools each student applied to before and after the policy change. Furthermore, we want to know the demographic characteristics of these applicants to identify different effects of the policy across groups. This project uses probabilistic record linkage to match the past three years of Boston charter school applicants (2015-2017) with their State Assigned Student Identifier (SASID), a unique identifier tied to demographic information and testing outcomes. This research can be used to help policy analysts examine the benefits and costs of altering the charter school application process in Boston and many other cities across the nation.

Thayer's Note: Stevenson's "translation" of Ptolemy, to which this page belongs, is abysmally bad. It should not be used for any serious purpose. For details and correctives, see my Ptolemy homepage.
Considering that in outlying areas Ptolemy seems to have got most of his information from seafarers, it's interesting to note that most of the towns on his map are inland. Sure enough, this corresponds to reality: the coasts of Ireland are desolate, and the kingdoms that shared the island thru the Middle Ages had inland capitals. Two towns are in fact marked Regia = king's town; one is Dunum — Celtic for hillfort.
The Erdini inhabit the coast next to the Vennicni, and between these are the Magnatae; then the Autini; and the Gangani; below whom are the Vellabori.
Next to this is the Robogdium promontory.
On the side next to the Robogdi dwell the Darini, below whom are the Volunti; then the Eblani; then the Cauci; below whom are the Manapi; then the Coriondi who dwell above the Brigantes.
a1 a2 The Stephenson edition lists this promontory twice at slightly different latitudes: 57°45 and 57°40. Not knowing the source of the error, I did the reasonable thing and gave the peninsula a bit of width. . . . Still, that's no way to run an atlas.
b Here, the 1932 edition has 13*59 15°, clearly a modern error for 13*— 59°15, i.e., probably 13*00 59°15.

After the very encouraging successes and positive feedback which we received for the original Tec 66 Conference in 2013 I am pleased to be involved with the latest presentation in 2014.
The key high tech companies in the ‘1066 Country Vacuum Cluster’ are once again taking the opportunity to show off their latest developments and products to a wide variety of potential and new customers and staff at this latest meeting.
This year they will be supported by talks from leading scientific presenters from the worlds of Organic Electronics, Space Research, Vacuum Technology and Cryogenics.
This meeting is specifically designed to make the scientific community at large more aware of all the potential 1066 Country has in terms of niche organisations producing novel products for the most advanced applications of science covering nano- science to advanced communications using the high level skills of work forces built up in this area of the South East of England, more normally associated with fishing and farming, over the last thirty years.
Moreover the opportunities this brings for scientists and engineers seeking an area of outstanding beauty in which they can find rewarding work serving world markets and providing ideal facilities in which to live and bring up a family are unparalleled.
I welcome you all to an exciting and thought provoking weekend where you can learn about some of the latest advances in science and engineering and at the same time experience one of the most beautiful parts of England and sample the life enriching aspects of the surrounding seascapes and countryside with all the associated gastronomic delights and entertainment and leisure opportunities.
We look forward to seeing you on this years event.

Salesforce plays a large role in empowering digital transformation efforts at companies across the world. Businesses increasingly want access to their Salesforce data for analytics and other mission-critical processes within their OpenEdge applications, as well as the ability to make OpenEdge and other external data available to SFDC via OData REST APIs to get real-time information and avoid costly duplication. Enterprises often turn to homegrown solutions to make these connections. Creating these custom data connections to Salesforce isn’t easy—often taking months or even years. In this session, we’ll explore how you can leverage Progress’ DataDirect innovations to quickly and easily make these connections in real-time.
Enterprises today are rapidly adopting cloud storage and infrastructure, while still opting to retain sensitive business data inside their corporate firewall. Cloud ISVs often get requests to connect these database silos (big or relational) using technologies such as VPN or SSH tunneling. However, these approaches are difficult to manage and not engineered for accessing business data from the cloud. In this session, we’ll see how Progress Hybrid Data Pipeline (HDP) can offer an easier approach to connecting data.

I am in reflective mood. Over a recent wet weekend my husband and I tidied out our loft. (I know: not for us a glamorous mini-break in San Tropez.) And amongst the usual broken suitcases, comically out-of-date clothes and half tea-sets inherited from elderly relatives, I found some interesting documents. There were two wedding invitations from couples now long divorced. There was a clutch of cheque books and other paperwork from not just accounts closed, but banks defunct. And there were my very first school reports (“Susan expresses herself clearly in mature language, but struggles with her numbers” – almost literally the story of my life).
As I say, reflective mood. For things are changing in my work life too. This year, for the first time since 2006, I am not making my annual trip to Gibraltar. For twelve years I visited that fine isthmus, providing public AML training under the banner of their local compliance association, and drawing crowds – crowds, I tell you – of hundreds of delegates. But over the entire twelve years, this extravagant display of my wares did not lead to a single in-house booking for training, and so I have decided that it is a poor use of my time to keep up with Gibraltar AML developments and money laundering concerns simply to furnish ammo for three days of training a year. I am mulling the same situation in Jersey: I have about four loyal clients there, whom I visit once a year, but is it enough to warrant keeping the jurisdiction in my armoury?
And so to Guernsey. Guernsey has always been the mainstay of my AML training, with clients there regularly and reliably filling five weeks, and sometimes six, of my time each year with in-house training. And the jewel in my Guernsey crown is my advanced workshops for Guernsey MLROs, which I run twice a year. These are terrific days from my perspective, as it’s my highest-level training, exploring new topics and new ideas in great detail, and debating them with MLROs at the top of their game. For several years, I have filled both workshops to capacity: twenty-four MLROs on each. Until now. I am running a workshop at the end of this month, and numbers are significantly reduced – only thirteen signed up, despite the usual marketing efforts. And so I wonder: why? Guernsey is awaiting new Regulations, apparently due out in June and to be implemented in September – although that’s only hearsay. Are MLROs hanging fire for the new Regs (which would take up no more than an hour of an all-day workshop anyway), or is it something worse? Has the regulated sector run out of money for training? Or have I reached my sell-by date in Guernsey? Am I the AML training equivalent of a bittersweet, once-cherished but now superseded wedding invitation? Sob!
This entry was posted in AML, Training and tagged AML, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey, legislation, money laundering, publications, research, Susan Grossey, Thinking about Crime Limited, training, writing. Bookmark the permalink.
I do not receive any invites, so I would appreciate if you could add me to your mailing list for Guernsey.
sorry to hear that upon realistic(?) reflection and review the numbers are dwindling. As you say we have never really been on your A list as presumably the competition here has due to its immediacy if nothing else got there first and grabbed the available budget. On a more serious note I hearing that in Jersey there is and has been a distinct lack of enthusiasm by Compliance and AML people to take on ‘registered roles’. The increased criminalisation of the roles was being proffered as the most likely reason although the comment was added that those who really knew and understood AML & Compliance were closing in on retirement and simply were not prepared to accept the “hassle” and ‘worry’ attaching to such roles. If one is to believe what was being said there is a limited follow through looking to replace the ‘long in the tooth’ would be retirees!. Not a great position to be in but unless the salaries for such roles increase dramatically why should individuals take the risk that were it all to go horribly wrong their livelihood could be removed with all the follow through rehabilitation problems attaching to a criminal conviction and possible custodial sentence.
Goodness what a gloomy outlook……………….didn’t even notice that when chatting to said individual.
On a brighter I would have thought that EU 5 (EU 6 looming!?) should produce plenty for you to train on and about without leaving home(!!) particularly as the UK so spectacularly failed to properly implement EU3 and I understand that not such a great job has been done on EU4 either ( but you better placed to comment on that!).
I think you are right on two counts, CDWOS, but overly optimistic on the third. Yes, I am up against stiff competition in Jersey, with those “on the ground” having the home advantage. Yes, many of the died-in-the-wool AML-ers are approaching retirement, and youngsters are unwilling to take on huge legal responsibility without additional financial reward. But sadly, I can’t picture a huge up-tick in demand for AML training here in the UK, despite the spectres of EU Directives tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. Of course there should be, but I think regulated minds and budgets will be focused on post-Brexit survival, and not on AML. If you’re of a mind to, this is the prime time to become a financial criminal in the UK… But despite all of this, I will enjoy the coming Bank Holiday sunshine!
That is an interesting response from CDWOS. It shows an unintended (I guess) consequence of heavier compliance and AML regs. It shows the problem of strict liability.
While I am neither an MLRO or a CO (or whatever they are to be called in future), I am often heard opining that it will soon be the right time to retire from non-exec positions in regulated companies.
PS: I don’t do facebook or twitter or any other toxic stuff so I don’t know if my comment will get through.
Thank you for your comment, Richard (which did get through!), and welcome to the blog. Yes, it is a conundrum. On the one hand, we need people to take their responsibilities seriously and know that they will be held accountable for negligence, while on the other we don’t want them punished if they make best endeavours but are caught out by a wily scheme. Something for the courts to debate, I fear.
Do not fear we still want to see you in Jersey, I am afraid that JIBS are treading in your territory!
Oh dear Susan. I presume you’ve looked at nearer year end when people are panicking over getting their CPD points? I know that AI is threatening all our jobs but I don’t think they’ve made a robot yet that can deliver AML training.
In the past, Roy, the May date has worked brilliantly: not a busy year-end for anyone, outside school and public holidays, a light and optimistic time of year… And let me know if you do find out about the AML robot – I may be able to pass on a few tips!
