What is Organic?
Organic farming uses the earth's natural resources for sustainability. It emphasises appropriate land management and aims to ecologically achieve the balance between animal life, the natural environment and food crops. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, herbicides, genetically modified foods, growth promoters or hormones.
Recent reports and studies have shown an increase in food-related allergies, with many people now experiencing allergic reactions to peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk, eggs, soy, fish and shellfish. Food allergies involve our body's immune system, and because 70% of our immune system is found in the digestive tract, the foods that we eat and the chemicals they contain can have a significant impact on our health. When the digestive tract and immune system aren't functioning well we become vulnerable to a host of disorders, including allergies.

Body Composition and Hydration Assessments
Modern medicine has definitely abandoned body weight as the prime metric for nutritional health. First it was replaced by BMI (the body mass index), still a very useful indicator, but body composition now clearly has become the "golden standard".
Bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a fast, reliable, affordable and non evasive technique to measure body composition. Its accuracy and dependability have been scientifically proven and clinically demonstrated time and time again. It uses the fact that tissue types differ in electric conductivity. Bones and fat, for instance are bad conductors. Skeletal muscles on the other hand, due to their water and electrolyte content, have much lower impedance. BIA makes it possible to precisely determine the distribution of the individual components, e.g. fluids ("water"), muscle mass and fatty substance in the body.
Is a state-of-the-art fully digital, phase sensitive, 4 channel impedance measuring device. Each channel applies a 50 Hz AC to precisely measure resistive and capacitive impedance as well as phase angle (PA).
By means of its 4 capturing interfaces it can simultaneously record the values for the body as a whole, the trunk, the arms and the legs. This helps pinpoint peripheral fluid retention and enables a more precise anatomical assessment.
Eight electrodes are attached to the test person's hands and feet. The resulting measurements (resistive and capacitive impedance) as well as anthropometric data are manually entered on or automatically transferred to a computer, where they are duly interpreted by the software. The results are available for immediate consultation.

- Fat-free mass
- Body cell mass

The company specializes in manufacture and saleы of children′s hats and caps under the name "Chobi". The company was founded by Gulnara Bildanovа in 2006.
The idea came to Gulnara by no accident: being a mother of two children, she could not find for her daughters both beautiful and practical hats — and you cannot do without them in our climate, to tell the truth. This was the first impulse to launch of "Chobi", whose products are to be warm, comfortable, stylish, and practical — that is, to combine and create the dream of every mother. These dreams are brought to life by the energetic owner of the company; she is taking part in all stages of choice of colours and yarns, up to development of models and accessories, not to mention constant control of production. Which, by the way, has been our own, Russian, since the day when the first cap was released in 2009?

For when your acts of violence need corporate sponsorship…
Art is entirely subjective, so we're not going to comment on the artistic merit of a Nike swoosh turned into a shank. But we will comment on the effectiveness of these weapons as actual weapons, and maybe the in/appropriateness of pairing them with the slogan "Just Do It":
Stick's Take: It looks like the Nike swoosh is only sharpened on the inside edge. It will definitely kill you, but it's less than ideal. The shape may be good for some binding or catching or grappling of some sort.
TheMightyMcClaw's Take: Yeah, that is not something I'd want to fight.
Setsu Uzume's Take: Nike is the goddess of victory, and she would be disappointed. It has neither the stability of a jutte, nor the style of a broken beer bottle. Try a sharpie marker. It has the same leverage capabilities, passes security, and won't poke a hole in your pocket.
Gezere's Take: This is on point. rimshot. The best of the lot–will get the job done, if the job is shanking someone.
You wanna get your ass McKicked?
Stick's Take: These strike me (pun intended?–ed) as possibly problematic; the separation in the arches makes me think there is a fair shot of hitting with only one of the two, and that doing so could twist or torque the hand and wrist badly. If you're hitting something big though, it's probably not an issue.
TheMightyMcClaw's Take: Probably about as effective as its normal-weapon counterpart.
Setsu Uzume's Take: Unwieldy. The distribution of force from your punch through the contact points are unpredictable. Definitely more likely to hurt yourself than your target.
Gezere's Take: Too big and I don't think it would be effective after one hit. He may just damage the user's wrist.
Stick's Take: the crowbar is dumb, but mostly because crowbars are dumb weapons (unless you're Gordon Freeman–ed). He should have made something like a Chinese hook sword or African throwing knife/axe thing.
TheMightyMcClaw's Take: Again, about as effective as its normal-weapon counterpart.
Setsu Uzume's Take: The crossbar kills this design. It's too close to make the most of the hook, and the hook itself provides a buffer against using the tip of the bar like the spike on a halberd. Can't even really use it as a crowbar. If a weapon evolved from a tool, it should still be a functional tool; but that's just me.
Gezere's Take: Same as the Nike shiv, but for bashing.
Stick's Take: The star seems too light and spindly without a good plane to it, not enough of a frisbee shape, so it will just tumble. Also, it probably doesn't have enough weight to penetrate very deeply.
TheMightyMcClaw's Take: is probably about as useless as a regular shuriken.
Setsu Uzume's Take: Too flimsy to fly. Throw rocks instead.
Gezere's Take: These look to small to throw well enough to do any real damage. Shurikens weren't really that deadly anyway.

Crop Insurance in Oakdale, CA
Protecting the Livelihood of California Farmers with Crops
Our philosophy of "Protecting What Matters Most" is especially true for today's farmer. Your crop is your family's livelihood and our dedicated crop insurance staff will work with you to develop a risk management plan that will provide peace of mind for you and your family. Crop insurance helps provide a cost effective backstop so farmers can meet their financial obligations in good years and bad.
Crop Insurance Overview
Farming in the Central Valley provides plenty of challenges and risks. Drought, frost, freeze, and extreme heat can impact the yields of your crops and the revenue generated from them. Crop insurance can help reduce the financial impact of lower yields, low prices, and/or a combination of both.
Depending on the crop(s) that you farm there are several plans of crop insurance available to you:
- Whole Farm Revenue Protection (NEW) - Whole Farm Revenue Protection is a new crop insurance plan that provides a risk management safety net for all commodities on the farm under one policy. It was especially designed for multiple commodity and specialty crop farms and protects against a loss of farm revenue the farm earns or expects to earn. Farms with two or more qualifying commodities can also receive up to an 80% subsidy on their premiums making this a very affordable form of crop insurance.
- Actual Production History (APH) - The APH plan of insurance is the oldest Federal Crop Insurance plan available. It provides the producer protection against a loss of production due to nearly all unavoidable, natural occurring events. This plan of insurance guarantees the producer a yield based on their production history, which is why it is called the APH plan.
- Actual Revenue History (ARH) - The Actual Revenue History is based upon the insured's revenue history for the crop insured. The guarantee is calculated based upon the insured's production and revenue history. A loss occurs when the revenue to count for the current year falls below the insured's guaranteed revenue. This plan is available for Cherry growers.
Crop Insurance and Your Lender
From the lending perspective, crop insurance provides a guarantee of a minimum income for a lender to rely on to repay loans should a farmer lose a crop. This insurance guarantee makes it much easier for producers to obtain the financing they need to farm. This is similar to the guarantee any car owner would have on their car loan if they got into an accident. Crop insurance is a safety net for some of the events that cannot be controlled.
To gain further understanding of our crop insurance program, please contact an agent at your convenience. If you're interested in planting a policy, feel free to request a quote.

Probing the mysteries of cracks and stressesPublished on October 1st, 2012 | By: email@example.com
Analysis of molecular-level fracture and stress mechanisms could have broad implications for understanding materials' behavior.
(MIT News) Diving into a pool from a few feet up allows you to enter the water smoothly and painlessly, but jumping from a bridge can lead to a fatal impact. The water is the same in each case, so why is the effect of hitting its surface so different?
This seemingly basic question is at the heart of complex research by a team in MIT's Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering that studied how materials react to stresses, including impacts. The findings could ultimately help explain phenomena as varied as the breakdown of concrete under sudden stress and the effects of corrosion on various metal surfaces.
Using a combination of computer modeling and experimental tests, the researchers studied one specific type of stress—in a defect called a screw dislocation—in one kind of material, an iron crystal lattice. But the underlying explanation, the researchers say, may have broad implications for many kinds of stresses in many different materials.
The research, carried out by doctoral student Yue Fan, associate professor Bilge Yildiz, and professor emeritus Sidney Yip, is being published this week in the journal Physical Review Letters.
Essentially, the team analyzed how the strength of a material can increase quite abruptly as the rate of strain applied to the material increases. This transition in the rate at which a material cracks or bends, called a flow-stress upturn, has been observed experimentally for many years, but its underlying mechanism has never been fully explained, the researchers say.
"The formulation is not specific to this particular defect," Yildiz explains. Rather, she and her colleagues have figured out what they believe is a set of general principles. "We have proven that it works in this system," she says.
"There are implications that go beyond dislocations, beyond even crystals," Yip adds. But before extending the work — something the team is working on now—the researchers had to prove the principle by applying it to a specific case, in this case the screw dislocation in iron. While other researchers have analyzed behaviors associated with particular kinds of defects in specific materials, with these new general principles, "all of a sudden we have an explanation for their data that does not require such specific assumptions," Yip says.
Flow-stress upturn "is an important phenomenon in materials," Fan says, explaining how they bend and crack in a process called plastic deformation. "It's common in all metals," he says, as well as in many other materials.
But the way that deformation varies, depending on the forces being applied, Fan says, is similar to the way the surface of water in a pool can part gently when a diver hits the surface at a certain rate of speed, but doesn't have time to part and behaves like a solid when the impact is too rapid, as in a jump from a great height.
The key is something called "strain localization," Yip says—that is, the way an impact or other stress is confined to a small initial location, and how rapidly the applied forces can then spread beyond that point. To understand that fully, he says, the team had to analyze how the atoms and molecules move to produce this behavior.
The team found that, in addition to the rate at which the strain is applied, the effect depends critically—and in a highly predictable way—on the temperature of the material. "People think they're independent," Fan says, but it turns out the effects of strain rate and temperature are strongly related.
The effects are quite dramatic, Yildiz says: The rate of change taking place within the material can suddenly change by orders of magnitude, transforming a slow erosion into a sudden catastrophic fracture. The analysis could potentially help predict the breakdown of structures as varied as concrete buildings, metal pressure vessels in powerplants, and the structural components of airplane bodies, but further work will be needed to show how these basic principles can be applied to these different materials.
"I don't want to say it's going to be the exact same phenomenon" in such different cases, Yildiz says, but the underlying principles of coupled environmental factors "could explain significant differences" in the way these materials behave under stress.
"We believe this behavior is universal" among different materials, Yip says, "but we haven't proven that yet. It's the beginning of a long journey."
Ting Zhu, a professor of physics at Georgia Institute of Technology, says the MIT team's work provides "a new perspective for a longstanding puzzle on the so-called upturn behavior of flow stress. The work represents a new paradigm that synergistically integrates the theoretical modeling with atomistic calculations, thereby enabling a parameter-free explanation of the puzzle." Zhu, who was not connected with this research, adds that, "Their approach should be generally applicable to a wide range of the flow-stress problems for both crystalline and glassy solids."
The work was supported by the Department of Energy's Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors and its Division of Materials Sciences and Engineering.

2 Responses to Probing the mysteries of cracks and stresses
I'm not convinced that this is a "new" understanding. I don't see anything here that I haven't learned in the last 2 years of graduate school. Perhaps the researchers intended to suggest only that they have demonstrated the cause of stress upturn, because the theory discussed including the relationship with temperature has been discussed for some time.
It wonder if this new understanding of failure mechanism can be applied to landslides and possibly fault lines within the earth.
Should be…

Interweave Yarn Fest Sneak Peek: Get to Know Miriam Felton
We are gearing up for Interweave Yarn Fest 2017, and are picking the brains of some of our instructors about their craft. In this installment, Miriam Felton gives us a little sneak peek into her passion.
You can meet Miriam at Interweave Yarn Fest – check out her instructor profile and the classes she will be teaching here!
Are there any current fiber arts trends you are obsessed with?
Cross Crafting (mixing crafts like knitting, crochet, sewing, etc…), short rows, and mixing yarn bases.
What can students learn from your workshops that they can't learn anywhere else?
My emphasis is on understanding how the yarn and needles interact to make the stitches. Not just how to do the technique, but why it works the way it does.
What will students gain short and long term from taking your workshops?
Short term, learn some new techniques. Long term, deepen your knowledge of knitting and become fearless in the face of any technique.
Out of all the fiber arts creations you've made, which one is your favorite and why is it your favorite?
My favorites are the ones that challenged me the most. Like the matching turned hems on the Chromaticity Cowl.
Do you remember the first fiber arts piece you made?
I'm sure it was a doll dress when I was a small girl.
How long have you been a fiber arts fanatic and what sparked your passion for the craft?
I've been sewing since I was 2 or 3, I added crochet in when I was 8, then cross stitch, and eventually knitting.
What is your favorite tool, accessory or yarn in your studio right now- the go-to product that you most frequently turn to?
I love triangular stitch markers. They pop right up when you get to them and are easy to transfer from one needle to the next.
If there is another instructor at IYF whose workshop you'd like to take, who's would it be and why?
I would love to take Inkle Weaving with Myra Chang Thompson, or Bohus Knitting with Courtney Kelley
What's the best piece of advice you ever got from a fellow crafter?
Cat Bordhi told me that you don't have to pull the end through your final stitch on a bind-off. You just have to lift that final stitch up after you cut the yarn and it fastens off just fine without that little dog-ear.
What are you most excited about for Yarn Fest 2017?
I'm excited to teach Cross-Craftual. I'm very passionate about mixing crafts and I can't wait to share that with everyone else.
More Learning Inspiration from Miriam and Interweave!

Chicago has had its real estate recession like many other areas in the country. One Chicago homeowner had a nice surprise when she listed her house. The home, located in the Edgebrook suburb of Chicago had a showing a couple of hours after the listing became active. There were more showings to follow closely. In twelve days, a sales contract was written up.
The owner, of course, was very happy with all the activity. She wasn't prepared to be ready to move out within sixty days though. It barely gave her time to pack and find temporary housing.
This was a higher-priced property that had two bidders. One of them accepted a counter offer from her and the sale was made. Those working in the real estate industry in Illinois include Eve Bremen, manager of the Coldwell Banker branch. Her opinion is that it's a matter of supply and demand. New construction has seen fewer than average starts. It is natural that existing homes are dwindling in numbers. Of course, there are the foreclosed homes. They may be in less than move-in condition in many cases though.
One realtor, with Baird & Warner, located in another Chicago suburb, had half a dozen homes that had multiple offers from potential buyers. That was in the last two months. Offers are still being written for less than the listing price. Offers may be written faster and higher when people know they have competition that may also make an offer on the home they want.
Multiple offers were made on a 1,450 square-foot home. It had three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and was listed for close to a half million dollars. She had remodeled bathrooms, kitchen put in stainless steel appliances and granite counters and a kitchen island, and added a wet bar to his rec room on the lower level, which made it an attractive home in move-in condition. Realtors suggest buyers avoid a bidding war by not bidding exceptionally low. Multiple housing market bids will tend to make buyers realize there is competition on many homes for sale in the real estate market.

STOCKTON - John Haberman came to bat twice with his team an out away from a loss.
STOCKTON - John Haberman came to bat twice with his team an out away from a loss.
He delivered both times.
A freshman from St. Mary's, Haberman had a pair of two-out singles for the Pacific baseball team against San Jose State Sunday at Klein Family Field. The first drove in a run to send the game to extra innings and the other scored two runs in walk-off fashion for a 3-2 win in 11 innings.
The Tigers (16-7) secured their first series sweep of the season as they topped the Spartans (9-13) in San Jose the previous two days.
"I'm just speechless," Haberman said. "That was just an unbelievable game."
Pacific was an out away from losing 1-0 in the ninth inning, when singles by Dustin Torchio and Matt Fuson put Haberman at the plate. With the count at 2-1, he singled to right field.
The Spartans went ahead 2-1 in the 11th inning on a sacrifice fly, before an error at second base gave the Tigers an extra at bat in the bottom half. That batter was Haberman, and with the bases loaded, he again singled to right.
The runner from third base scored easily, and Torchio was waved home from second base. The throw from right field was on time, but catcher Bryson Rahier had trouble scooping the ball out of the dirt and Torchio scored to end the game.
Haberman entered the game with a team-best .521 batting average, but started 0 for 3.
"I had some trouble in the beginning because I was being too aggressive," Haberman said. "I waited for a good pitch, and it happened."
Meanwhile, both teams combined for 10 double plays, with five on each side. The double plays tied an NCAA record set on April 4, 1989, as Georgetown (six) and George Mason (four) were the last two teams to combine for 10double plays.
San Jose State starter Sean Martin threw 98 pitches in 10 innings and Pacific's Hunter Carnevale threw 111 pitches in nine innings. Neither was the pitcher of record. Robbie Richardson got the win and John Austin the loss.
Carnevale gave up one earned run on nine hits with five strikeouts and two walks.
Martin allowed 12 hits and one earned run with two strikeouts and no walks.
"It was one of those games where you have to keep grinding," Carnevale said. "You have to trust that your team will pick you up and they did today."

Victoria Depression Counselling
Depression can be debilitating. Because it can often appear to others as inertia, laziness, sadness, or boredom it is often misunderstood.
Strosahl & Robinson (2008) tell us that the myths about depression are:
1. Depression is abnormal
2. Depression is an inevitable response to life stress
3. Depression is about experiencing emotions (like feeling bad)
4. Depression is a biological illness
5. Medication is the best treatment for depression
6. Depression is something you have
Strosahl & Robinson give some very good explanations about how these ARE myths in their Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Depression. Caron has walked alongside people experiencing depression using some of the techniques in this valuable workbook. She also highly recommends it to anyone wishing to pursue the self-help avenue. If you would like to talk to someone about your feelings of being depressed, Caron would be willing to listen, and help you get back on track to living a life of fulfillment. Call now to ask how Caron can help you – and receive a free copy of this wonderful workbook - 250-885-1610.
Allie (last name unknown) has done an amazing blog post on depression. One of Caron's clients shared it with her. Take a look - do some of the things Allie describes sound familiar?

Sophia Walker posted a message to Facebook as encouragement to her fellow Fringe performers. We liked it, and with her permission are re-publishing it here.
This is what we love, guys. This is our passion. This is why, when we wake up at four in the morning fucking terrified in a cold sweat about money or bills or affording food, we stay working in the arts.
It's August 1st, so the fear is real.
Fringers... a few people have kindly, misguidedly, asked my advice, they didn't set me on fire for what I said, indeed they ordered me to repost some version of it here: The Fringe, other than financially, isn't make or break (most especially the Free Fringe). There is too much noise, too many shows, too much choice to fail in a big way. If it goes horribly, no one will come. That's it. And there won't be word of mouth, so word won't spread. Which is great! And it means it's not like a bad show, or more accurately an unpopular show, matters worth a damn as of September 1st. It doesn't.
There is no failing, here (once you ignore the pesky money). There's only experiments that don't go quite how you want, and you learning how to think on your feet and deal with that. The Fringe is massive, and that's the beauty: with something this big, the only thing you can do is succeed.
If your show is great, you will get buzz and noise and press and bums on seats and all of that lovely stuff. Either do brilliantly, or play to small rooms. There is no bad option here! No worst-case scenario. We go to the Fringe to do what we love (if you don't love what you do, umm, the Fringe will prove... challenging), and we get to do it in a pretty pure form: you, your voice, your words, a dark room/possibly cupboard, and some seats. That's it. It's brilliant.
This is what we love, guys. This is our passion. This is why, when we wake up at four in the morning fucking terrified in a cold sweat about money or bills or affording food, we stay working in the arts.
For the next month, forget the pressure. Forget meeting some standard, forget comparing how well you're doing to everyone else, just use this three weeks to fall back in love with what you do. That's all that matters. Remind yourself why you do this. Strip it back to a room, a voice, an audience and just relish.
The Fringe is an amazing experience, we're fortunate to have it. So really throw yourself into it. And not the bullshit part, not the luvvies running around crying cause they dropped a flyer or the people propping up the bar telling everyone who isn't listening how amazing they are and that this year is their big break.
Throw yourself in to the show, to the craft, to 55 minutes in a room with strangers. Throw yourself into how much fun this is going to be. Cause it will. We love this, and we're about to do it daily for three weeks. Fuck yeah. So yeah... drop your ego now, you definitely don't need it and if you bring it, it just makes Fringe life harder (trust me, my ego is massive. Do you have any idea how tiring it was dragging that thing up and down the Royal Mile all day last year?); get regular hugs from your fellow Fringers, we are all in this together and we do genuinely support each other (at least in PBH. And if you need a friendly hug, come find a PBHer, we're a lovely lot).
Know there is no failure (just keep ignoring that pesky money thing); if possible, enjoy it. You love this or you wouldn't be doing it. So... love it.
Sophia appears in Cult Friction at the Electric Circus, 10th-28th August (not Sunday or Monday) 5:30pm (55m).

Many times we do not realize the issues sitting from afar of a country. In Afghanistan there is the threat of Taliban – which is pretty serious – but then where Taliban is not there.. there is corruption. Corruption that is institutionalized by Hamid Karzai and his coterie and also the Western powers, US included.
Here is an excellent case study of Dr. Mohammed Atash, the former president of Ariana, Afghanistan's largest commercial airline – and how he was subjected to hell by Karzai, the politically connected managers, and the Western Companies.. to a position that he ran away from Afghanistan back to the US.
Let's start off with how a representative of an American company pounded him….
For one thing, global gas prices had nearly doubled between May 2005 and May 2006, and Ariana found itself paying $1,000 per ton of jet fuel. The cost of simply powering the aircraft was complicated by another source of corruption: the American-owned fuel company Tryco, which held a monopoly on providing Ariana's supply. Atash says a representative from Tryco one day walked into his office and tried to bribe him into maintaining that monopoly. When Atash refused, the Tryco employee threatened him: "You think you know people. Now you will see who I know."
Karzai's double speak – one for public consumption and another for "real – also affected the way Atash could run the airlines which he was trying to turn around despite very very trying situation!
Not only was Atash targeted but all those who wanted to do good by the company they wanted to serve.. including Captain Assad Sharza, Ariana's Vice President of International Affairs. Sharza is a Western educated pilot imprisoned in 1990s by Taliban and the when he came back despite his work he was made to go through hell when his payments were rejected. By the time he was ready to go back he was broke!
By the end of his stay in Kabul, which the new administration talked him into as his wife lay dying back in New York, Sharza found himself having to pay $45,000 of his own money in incidental expenses. "It is such a corrupt country," he said, stifling a laugh. "From Karzai, all the way down."
The lesson one draws from this case study is very important: Throwing money at any problem by the US does NOT solve any problem! Unless you understand the issues on the ground, no matter how much money you throw at any issue, nothing will be solved! In fact if anything.. things will only get worse!
I hope to see that change under Obama.. but I am not sure I am seeing any signs of that as yet.

The reason for the timing is so it works with your cycle. You are supposed to start it the Sunday after your period starts. A lot of girls miss that last word. So you're only off by 2 days. It will be fine. Just remember to use a condom the first week. You are going to want to set a repeating alarm to change your patch.

I went to a Brandon Sanderson signing! How cool is that? The guy wrote the now-finished Steelheart trilogy, Mistborn series, and The Way of Kings! I felt bad for him as he read an excerpt from his book—the guy was somewhat sick.—but he still did an incredible job. He signed some books for me and talked to me about a future in writing. It's been so cool to meet with so many successful authors and gain inspiration to work harder for my dream.

Frequently asked questions
The APA can only provide general advice about advertising. You should refer to the national law and the AHPRA guidelines and seek independent legal advice.
Return to top of page
Advertising health services is regulated either by AHPRA, or The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). You may be able to make a complaint to either or both regulators, depending on circumstances.
The ACCC legislation means it is illegal for a business to make false and misleading claims. This applies to their advertising, and any information provided by their staff. It also applies to any statements made by businesses in the media or online.
Similarly, under the National Law a person must not advertise a regulated health service, or a business that provides a regulated health service, in a way that is false, misleading or deceptive or is likely to be misleading or deceptive. For example, although the word 'physio' is not protected, the National Law states that 'a title, word or description [must not] induce a reasonable person to believe this person is a physiotherapist.'
The national law and AHPRA's advertising guidelines establish how and what registered practitioners may advertise.
Advertising in any medium must not mislead, offer inducements such as a gift or discount (unless the relevant terms and conditions are also included), use testimonials, and/or create unreasonable expectations of beneficial treatment, or encourage the indiscriminate or unnecessary use of a service.
The APA can contact a member to remind them of their obligations. You can also notify AHPRA , or the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) if you are in NSW or the Office of the Health Ombudsman (OHO) if you are in Queensland to discuss whether it is a matter they should investigate.
Registration on Whitecoat does not breach the law regarding testimonials, and Whitecoat has frequently consulted with a range of industry bodies and stakeholders, including the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) to seek their guidance around customer reviews. We are confident that because Whitecoat operates as a forum for patients to exchange their views about their overall service experience, health practitioners will not be considered to be engaging in advertising contrary to the law. Whitecoat seeks feedback from customers in an objective, contemporaneous manner, and as the individual provider does not seek the review this is not a breach of the law. The objective questions are based on customer experience and are not clinical in nature, and all comments are moderated to ensure compliance with all laws, including clinical feedback. All Whitecoat reviews are also moderated to ensure that they remain anonymous and ethical.
Find out more about Whitecoat.
Read the latest Whitecoat media release.
Only registered physiotherapists may use the title 'physiotherapist' or 'physical therapist'. No advertising may cause a reasonable person to infer that someone is a physiotherapist if they are not.
Please refer to the answer given in the Complaints and Notifications section: "Someone is using a title they are not entitled to use – use and protection of title."

I've combined another couple of challenges today - the Play Date colour challenge and another of the CPS Anniversary sketches. Here's the inspiration:
And here's what I came up with:
I used some SU papers (Beau Chateau) for the layers along with the gorgeous Elementary Elegance Sale-a-Bration stamp set. The flowers are from Growing Green (stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with So Saffron and More Mustard ink). I added some Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon, a Very Vanilla button and some pearls to finish things off.
Thanks for stopping by!

Today's lesson on Energy and World Change discusses the importance of shifting from our current unsustainable fossil fuel-based energy intensive economy to an environmentally sound and sustainable Clean and Green approach. This is extremely impertinent
Drivers of global energy change:
-Rising energy consumption & economic development
(China currently uses 25% of oil compared to US, but China's population if 4x that of US. This percentage will definitely increase in future.)
-The need for sustainability (renewable energy sources)
-New technologies and approaches (increasing energy efficiency/pollution prevention) increasingly adapted to minimize impact on environment
-Energy Security: being more energy efficient
-Energy as a source of income for country (E.g. Nigeria, Middle East)
-Energy for the poor: biomass stoves/solar refrigerators (may not be long term solution)
-Global Carbon Market: Dominated by fossil fuel market
-Energy & transportation technology
-Biotechnology and energy
Potential sources of energy:
Above ground
- sun-huge potential for energy. with photovoltaics that already exists in the industry, it is very efficient to make use of solar energy
- wind
- water
- biomass
- waves
Below ground
- coal
- oil
- gas
- geo-thermal-invest in clean energy (China is ahead in market, followed by Brazil)
What i found interesting in the lesson was that photovoltaics is a very viable solution for renewable energy. It generates electricity from solar energy by converting energy from the sun directly to electricity. Over the years, photovoltaics has evolved and has become more efficient. Then again, this efficiency differs across countries. It really depends on the geographical location of countries and conditions it faces. For example, in Singapore where it is hot throughout, it would be efficient to use photovoltaics. However, for other countries that do not face very hot weather throughout and are unexposed to the sun all year round, it would be rather inefficient for them. Having said that, photovoltaics is definitely the way to go for future energy. It is extremely clean and does not produce any harmful gases into our atmosphere. Moreover, it is a good replacement to the usual convention of burning fossil fuels, which is going to run out very soon at the rate we are using them.
Key takeaway points would be that good leadership is beneficial for sustainable development. At times, decisions that benefit the community may not be well-received with the public, hence this is when leaders step in and intervene in the situation. Currently, China is investing a lot into new and clean technologies to benefit the country. Given the quote, "technology is easy, people are hard", it may be difficult to convince and change people's mindsets. For these green technologies to exist in the market, governments have to push for for this technology forward with new investments and researches. Initially, people may be reluctant to accept new forms of technologies due to the costs involved or no benefit received, however, if the government can come up with incentives education campaigns or for individuals or subsidies to companies to change to green technology, we could really see green technology going far.
Government intervention is definitely very important if we want to overcome the problem of non-renewable sources(fossil fuels). The government has to ensure there is sustainability in the country by dealing with the problem of our infinite wants and needs and put green technology into place soon to support growth in the industry.
I would rate today's lesson an 8/10 for the interesting insights!

Christmas morning for dads is all about opening and putting together the toys that Santa brought the kiddies. Dads need an assortment of tools to get the toys out of there packages (which have to be made by Homeland Security).
As you can see from the picture, I have a tool that does it all. It has a screwdriver, knife and a claw like cutter that can bust through the metal clips, wires and whatever else Santa's Elves throws at us dads.

The noted ``grave dancer`` of the `90s, Chicago financier Sam Zell, came to Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday for the grand opening of First Union Center.
The new 21-story office tower in the heart of Fort Lauderdale`s central business district at Broward Boulevard and Southeast Third Avenue is somewhat of an anomaly in the Zell portfolio of $5 billion worth of distressed properties.
Zell normally swoops down and buys up properties for 50 percent or less of replacement cost when the building owner is in a financial squeeze. But in the case of First Union, the developer, Jacksonville-based Regency Group, went to Zell early in 1988 to finance the $27 million construction of the Class-A office building. Regency Group remains a limited partner.
Another anomaly on Tuesday was that Zell, known for his irreverent behavior and distaste for corporate clothes, showed up in suit and tie for the grand opening party of the downtown Fort Lauderdale office tower.
``Maybe he`s changing his image. He never wears a tie. He`s usually in denim jeans,`` said Edward M. Eriksen, vice president and regional manager for First Office Management in West Palm Beach, a division of the real estate empire headed by Zell.
Zell is a self-acknowledged grave dancer because he sees opportunities in picking up pieces of deals that ran aground for someone else. His real estate ventures are known as vulture funds because his fortune is made on the misfortune of others.
He is chairman of Chicago-based Equity Financial and Management and oversees the two real estate funds in partnership with Merrill Lynch called the Zell/Merrill Lynch Real Estate Opportunity Partners.
In Florida, the funds have seven shopping centers, 11 apartment complexes. and seven office buildings, including First Union and One Clearlake Center in West Palm Beach.

American Flags around Atqasuk.
100% Made in America!
Just how did the American flag grow into just what it is today?
Folding up the American flag.
The American flag is a strong icon of American identification and nationwide pride. Also called Old Glory, the U.S. flag has a vivid background and also has undergone numerous modifications starting from the very first official flag of 1777.
Today the U.S. flag includes thirteen horizontal stripes, seven red rotating with 6 white stripes. The stripes stand for the original 13 colonies; the stars represent the 50 states of the country. The colors of the flag are symbolic also: red symbolizes hardiness as well as valiance, white signifies pureness and virtue as well as blue stands for vigilance, determination and also justice. The factor the Continental Congress initially picked the red, white, and also blue shades was not made clear in the resolution adopting the flag. Chroniclers believe it was probably a shade choice based upon the British Union Jack, which had previously flown over the colonies.
In time, some have associated slightly different meanings to the three shades, as an example, the shade red symbolizing the bloodshed spilled to preserve our freedoms, however the essence of the initial significance has been fairly consistent from 1782.
How did the American flag turn into what it is today?
It is so much greater than the 3 colors or a "design". Think of the areas around the world that the American flag has flown, consider the change it has actually gone through throughout the years on American land. It is really humbling to consider all that was offered as well as given up to make sure that the American flag could fly easily across this nation.
The flag that started with only 13 stars expanded to 50 with the addition of other states to the Union. The variety of stars on the flag progressively rose to its existing number today wherein a brand-new star would be added to the blue field on the 4th of July after the date of each new state's admission.
The variety of rotating horizontal red as well as white stripes has stayed at thirteen except from 1795 to 1818 when fifteen stripes showed up on the flag to note the admission of Kentucky and Vermont to the Union. In 1818, it was agreed that including a stripe to the flag for each and every brand-new state would certainly not happen as it will certainly make the flag look crowded as well as it would make the flag unwieldy. It was agreed then that the flag would certainly go back to containing only thirteen stripes to stand for the original colonies.
The American flag is a symbol not just of strength, valiance, purity, innocence, vigilance, determination and justice; it is a sign of freedom. Liberty that has actually been combatted so hard for over the years. Liberty that has cost this country and the households within so much, but it is still a sign to those desiring they had the liberty that the country has.
Folding the American flag.
Conventional flag etiquette suggests that prior to an American flag is stored or raised, its handlers must twice fold it in half lengthwise; then (from the other end opposite heaven field) make a triangular fold, remaining to fold it in a triangular patter up until the other end is reached. This makes a triangular "pillow" of the flag with just heaven starred field showing outside, and it takes thirteen folds to generate: two lengthwise folds as well as eleven triangular ones.
The flag isn't really folded up in this manner due to the fact that each of the folds has a special symbolic significance; the flag is folded this way due to the fact that it provides a sensible ritualistic touch that differentiates folding a flag from folding an average object such as a bedsheet, and because it results an aesthetically pleasing, easy-to-handle shape. This thirteen-fold treatment was a typical method long prior to the production of a ritualistic assignation of "meaning" to each of the steps.
An elaborate flag folding event incorporating these meanings has from then on been devised for unique celebrations such as Memorial Day as well as Veterans Day. These associations are "genuine" in the sense that they imply something to the people who take part in the ceremony, however they are not the reason that a flag is folded up in the conventional thirteen-step fashion.
This is America and its icon is the American Flag. This respectable sign has been targetted at, burned, spew upon and stepped on, and yet she rises again and again. Even though several Americans near Alaska state proudly fly the flag outside their homes and businesses on a daily basis, it is fitting that we, as a country, have actually alloted one certain day yearly to honor our flag and to keep in mind that it stands for the ideals and also values that we should aim to support. May God honor America as well as those that defend her.

the Xmas season coming closer I wish to share my favorite recipe
for Smoked Venison. It's another recipe which has been in our family
for hundreds of years It's easier to make than smoked ham and it
melts in your mouth. Venison is a great tasting, healthy meat and
has a whole host of benefits for you.
Healthy naturally lean meat Tasty wonderful flavors
Venison is a very lean and healthy meat but still has great
flavour. It has rapidly been gaining popularity over the last few
years with people viewing it as an alternative to red meat pork
and chicken.
Venison is good for you and your heart - providing a welcome
alternative for people on a variety of diets, such as low fat, low
calorie and low carbohydrate. It offers twice as much iron content
as beef or lamb, as well as being a valuable source of essential
Omega 3 acids.
Historians suggest that venison has been consumed as a food longer
than other meats, including beef, chicken and pork, that are more
popular today. While venison and other wild game have roamed the
lands for millennia, the practice of domesticating venison for food
seems to have begun in ancient times, during the Stone Age. While
the ancient Greeks seemed to be the first civilization that printed
a guide to hunting, the ancient Romans lauded the pleasures of hunting
and consuming wild game. Today, venison is enjoyed by many cultures
who still rely upon hunting to gather their food. In addition, for
a variety of reasons including maintaining the natural population
of the animals, farm raised venison is becoming more popular. Today,
New Zealand and the United States are the leading countries specializing
in the domestication of venison.
How to Select and Store
There are a few clues you can look for that will help you choose
fresher quality venison. Look for younger venison, which will have
darker, more finely grained flesh and whiter fat, since it will
offer the most flavorful taste. Always examine the sell-by date,
if there is one, on the label and choose the venison with the latest
date. Venison is generally available fresh and frozen.
Since venison, like other meats, is highly perishable, it should
always be kept at cold temperatures, either refrigerated or frozen.
Refrigerate the venison in the original store packaging, if it is
still intact and secure, as this will reduce the amount of handling
involved. Venison roasts, steaks and chops will keep in the refrigerator
for two to three days.
If you have more venison than you can use within this period of
time, you can freeze it. Cling wrap individual pieces of venison
carefully so that it is as tightly packaged as possible. It should
keep frozen for between three and six months.
Tips for Preparing Venison:
As with other meats, be careful when handling raw venison that it
does not come in contact with other foods, especially those that
will be served uncooked. Wash the cutting board, utensils and even
your hands very well with hot soapy water after handling the meat.
If your recipe requires marinating, you should always do so in the
refrigerator as the meat is very sensitive to heat which can increase
the chances of spoilage. When defrosting a frozen venison, do so
in the refrigerator and not at room temperature, placing it on a
plate to capture any liquid drippings.
Free Recipe of Venison Jerky or Biltong
Venison jerky is delicious and easy to make. Cut 2 pounds 1kg venison
steaks into ¼ inch thick slices, marinate for 12 hours in
1 table spoon of salt
1 table spoon cracked coriander seeds
1 table spoon of cracked pepper
½ tea spoon cayenne pepper
3 garlic gloves minced
1 onion finely sliced
1/3 cup of teriyaki sauce
1/3 cup of Worcestershire sauce
Dry meat with a paper towel prior to place on aerated roasting rack
and smoke at 150°F 65C for 6 hours.

At the 8th annual Trialogue CSI conference held in Johannesburg on 5 and 6 May 2015, two NGOs ¬and two social workers presented on how they banded together to beat a bureaucratic barrier to child protection in the Ugu district of KwaZulu-Natal.
When it comes to policy, South Africa's legal provisions make for some of the most progressive social service delivery solutions in the world. "The problem is that there's a wall between policy and practice," says Sonja Giese of Innovation Edge – part of a R90 million donor partnership called Ilifa Labantwana, which supports Early Childhood Development (ECD) in South Africa. This so-called wall leaves the target beneficiaries of these policies, like marginalised children, playing a figurative game of piggy in the middle when they should be playing in registered ECD centres that meet the norms and standards.
"The Department of Social Development (DSD) is where Home Affairs was 10 years ago – in need of a turnaround strategy," says Brian Liggett of the Network Action Group, a non-profit organisation that's bolstering Community Based Organisations. "We know we need systems that work because systems inefficiency in the development space compounds marginalisation."
The Chilean philosopher Humberto Maturana said, "You can never direct a living system, you can only disturb it." So Brian and Sonja set out to solve the conundrum of how to disturb the DSD's ECD centre registration system in the right direction.
There are 40 000 ECD centres in South Africa with associated legal and safety regulation requirements, but in order to be regulated you have to be registered. At present 1 500 ECD centres are registered per annum. That figure needs to be 15 000 to adequately address need.
In the Ugu district, where Brian and Sonja piloted their system enhancement, there are 6 573 children in registered ECD centres, yet 88 000 children need to be in registered centres. The average time-period for registration pre-intervention was 2-3 years, but post intervention it's now 2-3 months.
Unblocking the ECD centre registration flow
A national audit indicated that 230 ECD sites existed in the area, but NAG was certain there was close to 400. Step one was to find those sites and pin them on the map. A tracker was needed and obtained in a woman named Zola.
"Zola was like a San tracker with a nose for ECD centres. Sometimes she'd walk up and down one road for two hours before finding an almost invisible site. This is obviously dangerous for children and highlights the relevance of registering ECD centres to children protection."
The second step was to set up working groups called Jamborees comprising social workers, environmental health officers and ECD centre owners. Regular Jamboree meetings were held to impart information and kick-start processes. The necessary forms and norms were handed out and explained at Jamborees.
The third step was to interrogate the registration process and a number of bottlenecks were uncovered, such as ECD centres having to register as NPOs before applying for ECD registration causing lengthy delays, and environmental health inspectors and social workers visiting and reporting on sites at different times. This has since been streamlined so these processes can take place concurrently.
The fourth, final and most crucial step was to analyse workflow. Brian and Sonja looked to technology for solutions, "But we couldn't just bring in technology without a platform in place for maintenance and sustainability."
The solution presented itself in the form of factory workflow boards, discovered while researching practices in the private sector. "An online system is nice, but you will never replace this board," said the factory owner who advised Brian and Sonja. Social workers Nonkhonzo Mathenjwa and Nompilo Mbatha of the Umzumbe service office agree. They call the boards their 'therapy' boards because at any given time they can see where the registration process is being stalled and it shifts the blame from them.
The boards comprise columns representing each step in the registration process. Applicants' details are written on cards and moved along the board as they progress. "The boards are simple and cheap and can be applied to any system, anywhere. Ilifa Labantawana is rolling this system out to 28 offices, before moving to assist the North West and hopefully other provinces," says Sonja.
Are there any limitation and challenges to the system? A lot hinges on pinning the whereabouts of a district's unregistered ECD sites. A knowledgeable tracker like Zola is not always available and even with a tracker transport, roads, and lack of mobile communication systems pose a problem. Success also hinges on collaboration between government, NGOs and the private sector, which is often challenged by frequent staff changes within government.
"Remember that this is a system, nested within a system, within a system," says Sonja. It's critical to look at all the levels and to implement boards at each cluster or district to improve flow for overall success."

So another week has passed. I must warn you, there was a theme for me this week. And that theme was Doctor Who. All week I was humming with excitement for the series premiere that aired last night. Of course, I had to work. But I had something to get me through the work day- thinking of the Doctor waiting for me at home. I won't say anything about the episode, just in case some of you are fans and haven't seen it yet. But it was most definitely worth the wait.
1. Last Sunday's outfit
2. A beautiful piece of rusty gold
3. This is the type of old pickup I'd love to have
4. Taking Smudger for a walk
5. A TARDIS watercolour that I made whilst painting with my nephew
6. Vincent Van Gogh's "The Pandorica Opens" from Doctor Who
7. Wednesday's outfit
8. Mum playing with her food
9. 1950's frock. Thinking of wearing it to Celtic Thunder
10. One of my favourite episodes: "The Doctor's Wife"
11. The Doctor listening to Muse
12. Mmm...two Doctors
13. Promo photo for the new series
14. My baby sleeping
15. A gorgeous TARDS graphic I found online
16. Doctor Who nails! I really started getting in the mood
17. Sonic screwdriver and a Dalek
18. Bow tie, Don't Blink, sonic screwdriver, Dalek
19. I wear fezzes now, fezzes are cool
20. Doctor vs. Dalek showdown
21. I can't wait for the Weeping Angels to return
22. Epic X-Men vandalism
23. August's Blue Moon
24. I definitely geeked out when I went to the loo at the Museum of Science in Boston and saw this
25. This was right next to Bad Wolf. Imagine my excitement...
26. Getting excited for last night's episode
27. Lazy day in my TARDIS blue jeans
So this is another side of me that you get to see. Those who are mates of mine or read my personal Facebook know that I have a geeky streak. One of the things I geek out about is Doctor Who (as if you couldn't tell by now). What sort of things do you geek out about?

|athletes at CrossFit Central East Regionals 2010
With new clients, we always insist in MCI (no, not the old phone company):
That is, we want newbies to first learn how to do something, then be able to do it consistently and correctly, and then finally add the intensity piece with weight and/or speed. In order to achieve this, many folks have to scale down workouts by using less weight or less reps. This allows them to focus on form and keep intensity high. For instance, if we are doing "Angie," (100 pull ups, 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 air squats, for time) I am not going to have brand new clients do this as prescribed. Rather, I'm going to scale it to their ability. I can do this by scaling the degree of the stimulus, or by scaling the reps. By putting the athlete on rings and doing ring rows, I am providing a lesser degree of difficulty for pull ups. I could also have them do half or even a quarter the amount of reps as prescribed. Scaling helps maintain a degree of intensity that varies from workout to workout.
But what if you or a client need to scale UP? I don't mean less scaling
But what if you or a client need to scale UP? I don't mean less scaling
down in order to achieve the prescribed workout, I mean someone who
wants to go above and beyond the Rx. In this two part series, I'll
discuss situations in which you may want to do this, how to actually
scale up, and throw in some other considerations.
|Kristin T. at Barbells For Boobs – Helen Meets Grace event
First, there need to be TWO PREREQUISITES, for someone looking to scale up and both have to do with experience:
1. Form is Locked In – this speaks for itself, but I'm not going to have Mr. Reverse Curl do 185#
power cleans if he can't properly demonstrate a power clean at light
weight. He needs to show me good form before he can scale up, let alone
do a prescribed weight.
power cleans if he can't properly demonstrate a power clean at light
weight. He needs to show me good form before he can scale up, let alone
do a prescribed weight.
2. Familiarity with the Workout – the athlete needs to have experience with a workout and/or movement to know if they should be scaling up or not. Here's an example: If you tell a former strongman that he's going to do "Grace" (30 clean and jerks at 135# for men, 95# for women), they'll probably scoff at you and want to load up that bar with 225. But anyone familiar with Grace knows that she's a nasty one, and even the strongest of people can be destroyed by her. I need to know that someone understands the workout and what is expected.
|Joe M. at Iron Cross Athletics Grand Opening
Ok, so if someone meets those two prerequisites, then here are situations where we might scale up.
1. Progress Has Plateaued – If Mrs. Fran has been CrossFitting for a few years and her Fran time is staying around the same sub 3-minute time, I'm going to have her scale the weight up from 65# to 75# or 85#. This will slow her down for sure, but it will also make her regular Fran time faster when she picks up that 65#.
2. You Want to Get Stronger – This makes sense, especially when you look at it on a strength day. If I asked you to find a max backsquat, you keep progressively loading weight until you hit a max. The same idea can be applied to metcons. Even though a workout might call for 55# kettlebell swings, if you want to be able to swing a 70 pounder, you just have to start swinging a 70 pounder! It might be tough at first, but that's the point. You will adapt and overcome.
3. You Want to be More Competitive – If you are consistently finishing workouts ahead of the class, you might not feel as motivated to give it your all unless there is some close competition. We call this being the "firebreather" or being "rabbit." If you are always being chased, who can you chase?
These are the three main situations in which a CrossFitter might want to scale up. In part II, I'll discuss some ways to do just that.
-Are there other prerequisites in which you'd want to consider scaling up?
-How about other situations that someone would want to scale up a workout?
