A sledgehammer is a tool with a large, flat head attached to a lever (or handle). The head is typically made of metal. The sledgehammer can apply more force than other hammers, due to its large size. Along with the mallet, it shares the ability to distribute force over a wide area. This is in contrast to other types of hammer, which concentrate force in a relatively small area.
The word sledgehammer is derived from the Anglo Saxon "Slægan", which, in its first sense, means "to strike violently". The English words "slag", "slay", and "slog" are cognate.[1][2]
The handle can range from 50 centimetres (1 ft 8 in) to a full 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) long, depending on the mass of the head.[3] The head mass is usually 1 to 3 kilograms (2.2 to 6.6 lb). Modern heavy duty sledgehammers come with 10 to 20 pounds (4.5 to 9.1 kg) heads. Sledgehammers usually require two hands and a swinging motion involving the entire torso, in contrast to smaller hammers used for driving in nails. The combination of a long swinging range, and heavy head, increase the force of the resulting impact.
Sledgehammers are often used in destruction work, for breaking through drywall or masonry walls. Sledgehammers are seldom used in modern mining operations, particularly hand steel. Sledgehammers are also used when substantial force is necessary to dislodge a trapped object (often in farm or oil field work), or for fracturing concrete. Another common use is for driving fence posts into the ground. Sledgehammers are used by police forces in raids on property to gain entry by force, commonly through doors. They were and still are commonly used by blacksmiths to shape heavy sections of iron. The British SAS counter terrorist team used sledge hammers to gain access to rooms during the 1980 Iranian Embassy Siege. However, today they use a tool called a "dynamic hammer".
Sledgehammers are increasingly being used as inexpensive exercise equipment; since all major upper body muscle groups need to put forth a significant amount of force when swinging a sledgehammer, it can easily be used to work muscles to failure as in resistance training. A tire is often used as the hammer's target as its elasticity reduces the shock to the user's joints when used for this purpose.[citation needed]
Another iconic use of sledgehammers is for driving railroad spikes into wooden sleepers during rail construction. When the two ends of the Union Pacific railroad were joined at Promontory, Utah, Leland Stanford hammered a golden spike into a tie with a silver hammer. Sledges used to drive spikes for rails had a curved head that came down to a "beak" that was only about 1 inch across. The shape meant that drivers needed to be accurate, and spot where the spike hit was often not much larger than a dime. Anything larger would hit the plate or the tie. They look awkward to use, but practice makes it easier, like hitting a baseball. The curved head kept the handle away from the rail, as the spikes were driven with the rail between the spike and the driver. (If you consider the angle, you will see it has to be that way. The spike is driven in at an angle aimed at rail, so the head would catch the rail.)
In China[edit]
A common sledgehammer design in China uses an extremely long handle that is very flexible. This may be made of fiberglass, special tubing (see image), ash or strips of bamboo stacked together and bound, which functions like a leaf spring. The advantages of this design are the increased velocity with which the operator can strike the target, and reduced jarring.
Post maul[edit]
Post mauls are similar to sledgehammers in shape, but are meant to drive wooden fence posts or tree stakes into the earth. They have broad, flat circular faces that are significantly larger in diameter than the body of the head (where the handle attaches). Sledgehammers usually have octagonal faces that are the same diameter or slightly smaller than the body of the head.

JURIST Columnist Paul Johnson, Anniversary Reader at the University of York, argues that the effect of an on-going human rights debate in the British Isles and the European Court of Human Rights may have a detrimental effect on the same-sex marriage debate in the UK...
The government's proposed legislation means that the law will allow some religious organizations, such as the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), Unitarians and liberal Judaism, to "opt-in" to same-sex marriage but the Church of England and the Church in Wales will be legally prohibited from conducting same-sex marriage. These measures have been included because of concerns about legal challenges that might be brought against churches by those who wish to solemnize same-sex marriage on religious premises.
The central focus given to these "protective" measures in the government response is evidence of a larger malaise about human rights in the UK. Whatever else the government's response tells us be it about the relationship between church and state and how it is mediated by an incumbent government; or the tensions between religious and LGBT rights it illuminates a deeper problem in the UK. It is another example of a difficult relationship between the UK and human rights in general and, more specifically, with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) [PDF]. The government's response reiterates an entrenched view held by many in British society that an individual or group can, at any moment, bring a human rights complaint in order to assert their preference upon the majority of others. It panders to the worst fears of many people that human rights aid minority groups in gaining access to "special" social, cultural and political rights that the vast majority of right-minded people are against. It is because of these fears that the issue of same-sex marriage in churches has created the same outbreak of "rightsphobia" as the issue of votes for prisoners. In both cases, it has repeatedly been claimed that human rights are being used to force a change in moral principles that are deeply engrained in British culture. This is what has encouraged 72 MPs to sign a parliamentary motion calling for the repeal of the Human Rights Act 1998 the instrument that incorporates the ECHR into UK domestic law. And it is what underpins the widespread discontent with the Human Rights Act 1998 that is detailed in a new report by the Commission on a Bill of Rights [PDF] that has been considering the role of the ECHR in English law.
Underpinning this fear is a cultural imagination about an institution, far away in Strasbourg, filled with black-robed tyrants who are always, it is said, on the side of litigants. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has taken on the role in the UK of being the organization that represents the preeminent threat to "our" law and "our" way of life. Britain's history of being instrumental in drafting the ECHR and being the first country to ratify it is all but forgotten, and the ECtHR appears as just another Euro organization we could (and should) do without. Hence the "quadruple lock," to prevent gay and lesbian Britons (and the morally dubious clergy who support them) from running off to Strasbourg and getting those "foreign" judges to support them in their cause to "force" churches to marry them.
As absurd as such an argument is and it is made absurd by the jurisprudence of the ECtHR which has now twice clearly established that the ECHR provides absolutely no right to same-sex couples to marry the government's announcement perpetuates it. Instead of taking a proportionate course of action and allowing the Church of England and Church in Wales to make its own decisions about who it will and will not marry (as it does now), the government has accepted the unfounded argument that churches are at "risk." The Church of England has advanced this argument [PDF] and, as I stated in my earlier article, it should be regarded as a highly dubious and cynical strategy to resist the introduction of same-sex marriage. But ill-informed commentators in favor of gay rights have also made the argument that churches are at risk from litigation. On December 10, 2012, for example, the BBC aired an interview [video] with Professor Eric Anderson in which he stated that churches would suffer legal challenges under human rights legislation. Such claims are unhelpful and inaccurate.
On the basis of a growing moral panic about human rights in the UK, the government has announced deeply problematic legislation. Whilst they will extend marriage to same-sex couples in England and Wales, they will also amend the Equality Act 2010 to establish a form of legal discrimination in marriage based on sexual orientation. They will also write legislation to make same-sex marriage in a Church of England or Church in Wales church "illegal." The UK government will, therefore, follow a number of other states, such as those African states like Nigeria, that are regularly held up in the UK as the embodiment of homophobia, and introduce legislation designed to prohibit same-sex marriage in a particular context.
On December 12, the Scottish government followed England and Wales and published its response to its own consultation on same-sex marriage. The response includes a draft of the proposed Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Bill that would, if enacted, extend marriage rights to same-sex partners. Unlike in England and Wales, the Scottish government is not proposing any formal prohibition on the religious solemnization of same-sex marriage and all faith groups in Scotland will be able to "opt in" if they wish. However, in a similar way to England and Wales, the Scottish government proposes extensive "protections" for religious groups. These include:
Over the next year there will be widespread debate about same-sex marriage in the UK. Various individuals and groups will express their differing moral positions on marriage, religion and sexual orientation. This is welcome in a democracy. But if this takes place under the current veil of dread about human rights then this debate will be compromised. It is to be hoped that over the next year the debate will take account of the history of human rights on homosexuality and be informed by a sober look at exactly what the ECtHR has "forced" the UK to do. It simply isn't the case that the UK has been at the mercy of the ECtHR on sexual orientation issues. In those cases brought against the UK that were successful for example: the criminalization of male homosexual acts in Northern Ireland and the prohibition on same-sex sexual acts in the armed forces there was widespread support for legal change across the UK and throughout the states of the Council of Europe. This mirrors the situation in respect of same-sex marriage where, as the Government response to the consultation shows, there is wide support across all constituencies for freedom in this important social institution. Over the next year, as the legislation passes through Parliament, it is hoped that debate will not be mired in the unfounded worry about human rights and ECtHR.

THURSDAY, Dec. 2 (HealthDay News) -- As 2010 winds down, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced its next set of 10-year goals for improving the nation's health, including making dents in rates of obesity, smoking and deaths from cancer and heart disease.
"The reason for Healthy People is to try to move the nation to better health," said Carter Blakey, the Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary at HHS' Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.
"The Healthy People objectives are to some extent a road map for public health, cataloging the places we can and should go over the span of a decade," added Dr. David L. Katz, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine.
According to HHS, about 19 percent of the Healthy People 2010 goals were met and progress was made on another 52 percent. However, in some areas, such as obesity, things have gotten worse since 2000.
But the Healthy People goals are also, to some degree, aspirational, Katz noted. "Achieving these objectives is dependent both on developing new tools, new programs and new methods, and on turning what we already know into what we routinely do," he explained.
"Heart disease, for example, is widely considered to be all but eradicable with full application of what we know about just three factors: tobacco use, diet and physical activity," Katz said.
"To date, we have failed to achieve fully the aspirations of Healthy People," he said. "Whether or not 2020 proves different will depend to a lesser degree on the creation of new ways to get there, and to a larger degree on the will to follow paths already open to us."
But Blakey stressed that when goals aren't met there are a lot of factors that are in play. Not meeting a goal is not seen as a failure, but as an area where more work is needed.
With that in mind, some of the new goals for 2020 are:
To achieve these and other goals, programs that promote healthy lifestyles and new state regulations will be needed, such as more smoke-free laws, improved children's school lunches and other programs to fight obesity and reduce the number of new cases of diabetes.
The 2020 goals cover almost 600 areas of health, from food poisoning to getting more people insured, to reducing the use of cancer-causing tanning beds and reducing children's exposure to allergens.
Many of the 2020 goals are modest, unlike the loftier goals of other year's programs.
"That's a result of a public advisory committee looked at lessons learned from Healthy People 2010," Blakey said. "The goals for Healthy People 2010 were particularly ambitious and really shot for the stars. The committee wondered whether it was effective to set overly ambitious goals that we knew we couldn't achieve. The committee recommended that for Healthy People 2020 we set goals that were realistic and achievable."
If a similar process was used for 2010 goals they would have achieved 50 percent of them, Blakey said.
For example, in 2000 almost 25 percent of the population was obese and the 2010 goal was to cut that 15 percent. But in 2010, the obesity rate has risen to 34 percent, so the new goal is to cut that by only 10 percent.
Also in the past decade, the number of cases of diabetes has been increasing and the number of smokers remains at about 20 percent.
On the plus side, Americans are living longer and deaths from heart disease and cancer are dropping. However, much of this appears to be due to better treatment, not to healthier living.
Healthy People 2020 goals include such areas as:
As part of the 2020 goals the government has tried to make it more meaningful to individuals, Blakey explained. The hope is people will become familiar with some of the goals that relate to them and see what they can do themselves to achieve these goals in their own lives, she said.

text: MUSKOKA – When Ian Crowley turned 50 he had an epiphany that changed how he viewed life and where his was going. After spending the first 50 years of his life living in the city and working with major corporations, he needed to find balance. Enter Muskoka. "If we all want to live to 100, I just lived 50 in the city, and if I'm to get what I'm suppose to get from this world and learn what I'm suppose to learn and meet the people I'm suppose to meet, it's fair enough that I should spend the last half in the country," he said. While Crowley was born in Montreal and has lived in Toronto and Ottawa, Muskoka still feels like home. He's been cottaging on Lake of Bays with his family since he was 10 years old. "It's not where I grew up, but it is," he said. With that slight change from being a cottager to a resident, he now views the community differently. "Coming up here as a weekend citiot warrior, all I tended to see was the traffic on the way up, the trees and the lake, focusing on the boats and in the cottage and food and the traffic on the way back. It was the party and nature. Living here, for the last year, I find my attitude has changed 100 per cent," he said. "I don't see the traffic, I see the lakes and the boats more as a chore, and I see the people and the community first … I don't treat this place like partyland anymore, I treat it like my home." As a conductor and composer living on a busy intersection in Toronto with the constant hum of traffic on the Don Valley Parkway, streetcars, and nearby subways it was impossible to record any music. He chose to call Muskoka home for the silence. "Now I can record at any hour, all I really have to do is unplug the fridge and I get utter quiet except for maybe the odd owl," said Crowley. Music has been a part of his life since he was 6. "I was yanked out of my Grade 2 class by a bunch of priests and dragged down a hall to the gymnasium where the piano was … it was about a six to seven minute examination and then I was invited to write exams in Grade 3 and I was chosen out of 400 kids to make up the next year of 30 choir boys at St Michaels Choir School. So that was my initiation into music," he said. He continued with piano lessons throughout his school years and joined the senior band while in high school. Crowley took a brief detour in university when he decided to study political science thinking he wanted to become a lawyer. "Hated it, quit, went back (to school), got a degree in music," he said. And yet he began working for Proctor and Gamble upon graduation with his passion still waiting on the sideline. "Even though I was in music they were looking for winners and leaders and in my high school years I had paddled for the Mississauga Canoe Club and I had managed to win some Canadian championships and international medals," he said. "Once they had learned of this they thought I was a sure winner and one hell of a competitive guy so they hired me right away." During his years with the company he learned to sell through a persuasive formula and not take no from anybody. "From then on I started selling more of my art and my music and my abilities to influence people and win friends to at least organize into choirs," he said. "I took all my skills together, I'd learned how to sing and I learned how to sell and I thought, I'm happiest teaching other people how to sing." Crowley became a choir conductor and founded New Choir, "Toronto's biggest rock choir." He led 10 seasons as the musical director and nine as the conductor. "It grew exponentially and it was a huge success to the point where we were giving away thousands of dollars a year to community projects," he said. "Even though I'd lived in Toronto 25 years and had my own network of friends, the friends and people I met through New Choir changed my life. They made me want to be good, they made me want to do more volunteer stuff because they showed me a different type of people I normally wouldn't have met." Having moved to Muskoka with no friends, no one to sing with and no sense of community Crowley thought the best way to gain all these was by starting a choir here. "The secret to happiness is to keep on meeting people who remind you of yourself in happier times," said Crowley. He said it's up to residents to build community. "Most people think community building is the government's job and they sit around until the government offers either swimming lessons or builds a community hall or makes some sort of community outreach action," said Crowley. "I believe it's up to the private citizens to build their own communities based around collective interests. Building a community around people with collective interests will build a much tighter knit community, will be self-fulfilling and self-propelling and won't need government handouts and in my experience raise more money than they possibly need to run their organization and end up giving to the community." The Muskoka Rock Choir has about 16 members and Crowley is hoping to build it to 50 members. The current age range is 25 to 80 years of age. "I hope to create a musical community for people who have never sang before," he said. Thanks to Mary Spring for recommending Crowley. If you have someone in the community you would like to recommend for Muskoka Mosaic contact Mandi Hargrave at 705-789-5541 ext. 285 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The schedule for ApacheCon has been published, and it looks like it will be a great conference for PHP developers.
I will be giving a 3 hour PHP security tutorial on Sunday. If you missed the one I gave at OSCON, you're in luck, because I plan to work hard to make this one even better. I'll also make some enhancements to the PHP Security Workbook and provide that as the handout.
In addition to the tutorial, I'm giving a 60 minute talk with mod_perl core developer Geoff Young about testing PHP with Perl (two great tastes that taste great together). Geoff is a fantastic speaker, and this talk should be very fun and entertaining. Mixed in with the inevitable banter between us, we hope to provide some practical and useful information that you can apply directly to your PHP development.
Among the other interesting talks are a 3 hour tutorial about scalable Internet architectures by Theo Schlossnagle, a 60 minute talk on PHP 5 by Andi Gutmans, and Adam Trachtenberg's popular talk, Why PHP 5 Sucks! Why PHP 5 Rocks!.
I usually spend most of my time at conferences in the halls and social gathering places, but I think I'll be attending quite a few talks this year. It's good to see such a nice lineup of talks. I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Hope to see you in Vegas.

Everyone asks but nobody has. Not anymore. We have that elusive 3BR right across the street from PS 321, and right down the block from one of the best burger and pizza joints in the Slope.This apartment is quite shiny, since it was just recently renovated. New appliances including a dishwasher and microwave, new cabinetry, new bathroom, recessed lighting and hardwood floors.
You get a large living room (9'9" x 17') with exposed brick that looks right into your new eat-in-kitchen. The dining area is about 8'6" x 9'9" and has a small island for extra counter space or grabbing a quick bit to eat.
Each of the 3 bedrooms has its own closet and ceiling fan. Dimensions are about 10'6" x 9'6", 6'4" x 9'10" and 7'11" x 10'.
This is a great space in a quiet building in the best part of Park Slope. Practically equal distance to every train that runs through these parts.

Wrestle Scoop:
Alberto Del Rio
- It's believed WWE is getting at least $100,000 per week for the new Main Event TV show on the Ion Network. This figure is believed because they were getting that much for Superstars before it left regular TV. They are also getting paid between $60,000 and $75,000 per week for Saturday Morning Slam and around $175,000 for the new third hour of RAW each week.
- We noted earlier that Alberto Del Rio's entire family was at the recent WWE NXT live event where he teamed with his brother Memo Montenegro and Ricardo Rodriguez. The Herald reports that Del Rio and his wife are expecting a girl, their second child.
Del Rio's family that was present for the tag match included his mother, his wife, their two-year old son, Memo's girlfriend plus family friend and indy wrestler Pablo Marquez. His wife recorded the match to show to their father, Dos Caras. Del Rio's mother traveled all the way from Mexico to watch the match.

French electronic act M83 have been selected to score "Oblivion," and as fans of the band already know, their music has been widescreen-ready from minute one. Fronted by Anthony Gonzalez, M83 have built a steady fanbase and critical acclaim with their unique and powerful larger-than-life compositions that swell both the heart and ears all at once. Breaking out with Before The Dawn Heals Us, M83 have delivered six albums that have seen their sound continue to evolve, with 2011's Hurry Up, We're Dreaming marking their highest charting record to date.
Moving recently to Los Angeles to more actively pursue soundtrack work, for Gonzalez, the opportunity to score a movie is the fulfillment of a longtime dream, and he's ready to take on the challenge. "I've wanted to do soundtracks for so long, and starting with such an ambitious project, especially in the sci-fi category, means a lot to me," he told The Playlist, adding that the experience he's gained up until this point in his career has prepared him for the immense task ahead of him. "I'm not afraid to do my first soundtrack on a big Hollywood movie, with a big budget and a lot of pressure...I like challenges and it excites me more than frightens me. I can't wait to hear my music played by amazing musicians, and an orchestra and brass and maybe choirs. It's a chance to create something big and I'm ready for it."
"I'm always trying to push myself and I try to do it with my studio albums, and now this is a new adventure, so I'm going to push myself even harder, and try to surprise people and move people with my music," Gonzalez said, adding: "My vision is really to have a combination of very electronic moments, very M83, and sometimes merge into something more soundtrack-y, but my kind of soundtracks."
Joseph Kosinski first started working on "Oblivion" well before "Tron: Legacy," and notes that even then, M83 was part of his process. "I was listening to his music back in 2005 when I first wrote this story, so he was part of this from the very beginning in my mind, kind of creatively. And about two years ago, when I started putting together a shortlist of people I'd love to talk to for this project, I sat down with him and we talked about it," he said. "And it was very clear he had a passion for film and I knew just from his electronic music that he had the potential to create something epic."
"The story has a small cast of characters, it was designed as kind of a character-driven story, but at the same time it takes place in a vast world. So I need a score that is both emotional, but at the same time can feel big and have a lot of space in it. And his music has that. It's emotional, it's triumphant, it just has a spirit and a life to it," Kosinski added. "It can feel very intimate but it also can feel just huge when it has to. His music is able to capture all those different feelings and qualities simultaneously."
The film will shoot on location in Iceland and in the United States, and will be lensed in stunning digital 4K, utilizing Sony's F65 cameras, which Kosinski told us "is kind of like shooting 65mm digitally." Based on an original story by Kosinski, with a script from writers William Monahan, Karl Gajdusek and Michael Arndt, "Oblivion" stars Tom Cruise, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Melissa Leo. The official synopsis for the film is below -- look for it in theaters via Universal Pictures on April 26, 2013.
Tom Cruise stars in Oblivion, an original and groundbreaking cinematic event from the director of TRON: Legacy and the producer of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. On a spectacular future Earth that has evolved beyond recognition, one man's confrontation with the past will lead him on a journey of redemption and discovery as he battles to save mankind.
Jack Harper (Cruise) is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack's mission is nearly complete.
Living and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands.

M83 is my favorite artist. So its safe to say Oblivion is firmly on my radar. His album; Before The Dawn Heals Us, pretty much already is a film soundtrack!

low_on_ideas | June 28, 2012 2:54 PM
Is it just me or has the playlist become two publications? One is a blog that cheekily reports on film goings-on for an audience or in-the-know film lovers. That publication has reviews that honestly sum up films like Tron:Legacy with "Lacks Soul, Narratively Empty" and Robot & Frank as "Disappointing... Low On Ideas." While the second "The Playlist" publication breathlessly reports on the project of dubious quality that is the subject of this article or says Robot & Frank "warmed the hearts of many when it premiered at Sundance earlier this year" while reporting on the trailer.

The symbol for the element mercury.
The symbol for mercury. |
mercury (mûr'kyə-rē) Pronunciation Key
Symbol Hg A silvery-white, dense, poisonous metallic element that is a liquid at room temperature and is used in thermometers, barometers, batteries, and pesticides. Atomic number 80; atomic weight 200.59; melting point -38.87°C; boiling point 356.58°C; specific gravity 13.546 (at 20°C); valence 1, 2. See Periodic Table. Our Living Language : Like a few other elements, mercury has a chemical symbol, Hg, that bears no resemblance to its name. This is because Hg is an abbreviation of the Latin name of the element, which was hydrargium. This word in turn was taken over from Greek, where it literally meant "water-silver." With this name the Greeks were referring to the fact that mercury is a silvery liquid at room temperature, rather than a solid like other metals. Similarly, an older English name for this element is quicksilver, which means "living silver," referring to its ability to move like a living thing. (The word quick used to mean "alive," as in the Biblical phrase "the quick and the dead.") The name mercury refers to the fact that the element flows about quickly: the name comes from the Roman god Mercury, who was the swift-footed messenger of the gods. |

Chapter 10: Fees and Financial Assistance
10.1 Course Fees
Many of the courses offered in the Faculty of Arts currently receive funding from the Federal Government through the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST ). Research candidates are reminded to re-enrol on time each year in order that their place is not jeopardized.
Unavoidable incidental expenses associated with the pursuit of a graduate research degree can include the expenses:
- HECS (the cost of deferring payment on undergraduate HECS debt while undertaking a higher degree)
- International Student fees
- Textbooks (sometimes including readings sold by the School: material is generally on closed reserve in the library. However, some candidates prefer to purchase their own copies)
- Personal computer and software
- Photocopying
- Parking permits
- Fieldtrips
- Instruments, costumes, materials for creative work
- Word-processing and editing
- Language lessons (some research candidates take private lessons, whilst others enrol in single unit enrolment where a full-fee is charged)
- Thesis binding
10.1.1Research Training Scheme (Hecs Exemptions)
As at January 2006 all Australian citizens and Australian permanent resident research candidates in the Faculty of Arts receive either a Commonwealth supported RTS place or a Monash HECS Exempt place. The implication of this for the candidate is that they will not incur any debts for course fees during their Monash candidature.
10.1.2. International Candidate Fees
International candidates pay half of their annual course fee prior to the commencement of their program. Thereafter research candidates or agencies will be billed on a semester basis and are required to pay their fees in advance before each semester. Candidates will be forwarded a Fees Advice Statement wherein they are instructed to make a payment at any WESTPAC bank by a specified due date. Late fees will be charged if payment is not received as instructed.
10.1.3. Extension of Time to Pay Fees
Candidates experiencing financial hardship may apply for a short-term extension to assist payment of fees. However, this avenue is generally only available to re-enrolling research candidates. Application forms can be obtained from the fees branch office on any campus or from the campus student financial adviser. Only research candidates with genuine financial problems can apply and applications are made before the due date for payment shown on your enrolment and fees liability statement. One extension only is possible, and if research candidates fail to pay by the agreed extension date they will be charged for late payment of fees and may risk their enrolment being invalidated.
10.1.4. Eligibility for a Low Income Health Care Card
The MPA has advised that because
of recent changes to the threshold income limits, some Australian
resident postgraduates may be eligible to receive a Low Income Health
Care card. This card entitles the holder to a number of concessions
on items and services including medicines, public transport, water
rates, energy and electric bills, dental and ambulance.
For details of eligibility criteria see:
An income test effective from 20 September 2006 is located at: www.centrelink.gov.au/internet/internet.nsf/payments/conc_cards_iat.htm
Please note that the MPA cannot provide advice on eligibility, and all inquiries and applications must be made directly to Centrelink. For contact details please see: http://www.centrelink.gov.au

Starbucks iPhone App Gets Passbook Compatibility
Although it was featured during Apple's media events earlier this year when demonstrating Passbook, the Starbucks app wasn't compatible with the new feature when iOS 6 was released last month. The Seattle-based coffee house chain tweeted that the update would come before the end of September but missed that deadline by a few days with the the update hitting the App Store last night. Version 2.4 of Starbucks adds Passbook and iOS 6 support and a few other changes and bug fixes, though it's oddly lacking optimization for the iPhone 5′s larger screen still.
When you use the updated Starbucks app, you can add your registered Starbucks gift or Gold card to Passbook through a new menu option in the My Cards tab. Once you complete this process, you'll see a virtual version of your card in Passbook complete with a code that the cashier can scan to complete your purchase and your card balance in the top right corner. If you designate favorite stores in the Starbucks app, these will be carried over to Passbook and you'll get a push notification when you get near one of these stores if you've turned on "Show On Lock Screen" on the back of the card in Passbook.
Click to enlarge
I went to a local Starbucks today to try it out (all in the name of work, I swear) and it worked flawlessly. I received an alert on my lock screen once I pulled into the parking lot telling me I was near one of my favorite Starbucks stores and the cashier had no problems scanning the code in Passbook. A few moments later, the balance in the top right corner of the Starbucks card in Passbook updated to show my updated balance, newly reduced thanks to my purchase of a grande Chai Tea Latte.
I have heard this isn't working well for everyone, with one unfortunate user seeing his reward status get bumped back to a lower level completely after using Passbook at a Starbucks. So keep an eye on your balance and reward level just in case.

4 Nice lookingPosted: 21/04/2011These headphones have got a good cable length, they look good, and sound great, but unfortunately they don't stay in your ears. It gets really irritating. Would have got 5 stars otherwise.
1 Cut my eyes outPosted: 16/03/2011This is quite possibly the worst game in the history of mankind. The controls are bad, the graphics are poor, the game play is poor, and the story is boring. Stay away.
Terminator: Salvation (Terminator 4) PlayStation3 9 New from £12.15 Free delivery Available used from £4.74
4 Not as bad as people make outPosted: 05/02/2011I bought this game after reading mixed reviews. Most of my friends told me to stay away, but I tried it anyway.I blasted through this game in about 7 or so hours, so if you're after longevity, this game isn't for you. Possibly the easiest PS3 game to Platinum ever.The game mechanics remind me of Fallout. Somewhat awkward and dysfunctional, but enjoyable.If you like Terminator you might like it. I'm not a Terminator fan myself but enjoyed the game. Worth about a tenner anyway.
4 Very enjoyablePosted: 26/01/2011After playing the likes of Dirt 2 and NFS:Hot Pursuit relentlessly, it was difficult to get used to the controls of this as they're slightly unconventional. Once you learn how to handle the braking, you're fine though. I initially didn't like the demo, but tried the game anyway as it's only 16 quid.Overall, the game is enjoyable with lots of different things to do. There's online, single rallies, time trials, multiplayer, and a career mode where you work your way up, earning money and sponsorships to get the better races and buy the faster cars. The trophies are fairly easy to obtain. I've got 30% after 2 hours of game play.The graphics of the game are up to standard, but I thought there would be more cars. I assume this is because they're sticking to the actual WRC cars. The menus are easy to navigate too.Well worth a buy for under 20 quid.
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) PlayStation3 13 New from £6.99 Free delivery Available used from £3.09
5 Great game!Posted: 03/01/2011I'm not usually a fan of the NFS games, but this one totally took me by surprise. I didn't like the demo, but gave the full game a go nonetheless as it was on offer. I'm totally addicted to it. You can race as either a cop or a racer. Doing challenges such as busting someone with spike strips and helicopters, or you can be the one evading it all. You level up as you do more races, which unlocks better cars and different race categories. Driving the Lamborghini Galliardo with nos is unreal.This game makes me want to revisit the rest of the series to see if I've changed my mind about them. It could be compared to games like Blur or Split Second, but this just blows them away.The graphics of this game are stunning on a high def television. The menu is easy to navigate, but the race menu could be clearer. This takes nothing away from the actual game though.The only thing which I don't like it that you have to buy some of the cars in the PSN store, but they're not 100% necessary. I've bought one race pack myself.The trophies on this game are fairly easy to obtain as you just get them as you level up, or by doing something for the first time.Overall, a massively enjoyable game.
5 PS3 compatible!Posted: 25/12/2010This comes ready and formatted as FAT32, which works perfectly with the PS3 to play movies off, my main reason for buying it. I use it with my laptop too to back it up. Usually you'll find that external hard drives are NTFS, but not this one.With my item, the plug I received happened to be an EU one, not a British one, meaning I had to buy an adapter. I assume this is just a mistake and not common with the rest of them though.The product itself is very sturdy and heavy. Not like other flimsy HDD's that I've had. The brushed grey finish is nice too.The on/off switch is a great feature. It's nice to choose when to use it, rather than it being running constantly when plugged into the PS3 like my other HDD.Overall, I'd highly recommend this item for any use whatsoever.
5 AmazingPosted: 23/12/2010I got these off here for 38.99, and what a bargain!Stunning sound on them, and they look great next to my black TV, stand, and PS3. They look similar to the old fat PS3 actually.I can only pick two faults with them: There is no display of the volume, bass and treble levels, so you have to do them by ear.And the speakers are plugged into the PS3 by the AV output, so if you have an old style TV without HDMI, you'll have to plug the speakers into the TVs headphones input. Luckily I've got HDMI.Fantastic product though. Can go really loud without sounding nasty too. Would highly recommend to those on a budget.
4 Good valuePosted: 16/12/2010Hollie: It clearly states that the item has a 3.5mm jack, which is a standard input for headphones.I've got these and they're pretty impressive, especially with songs which are particular bass-heavy. They vibrate if it's too loud. Quality.
5 9.9/10Posted: 29/11/2010Out of GT5, AC: Brotherhood, Fallout New Vegas, Fifa 11 etc, this may just pip them all to the #1 spot. As usual, CoD is fantastic. The story isn't the best in campaign mode, but it still surprises you with a twist at the end. As usual, the cut scenes are unbelievable graphics-wise.The multiplayer mode is as good as Modern Warfare 2, and equally as addictive. The ability to play 2 player online on one console is a great improvement. The maps are good too. The only bad thing about online is the servers, which are unreliable at times.Zombies mode is a huge improvement on World at War. They've improved what was wrong with it in the first place.Almost perfect. Bring on MW3!
5 StunningPosted: 29/11/2010Car porn at it's best. Everything is so shiny!I've played Gran Turismo since the very beginning on the first Playstation and this instalment doesn't disappoint. The layouts and menus are exactly the same and easy to navigate and the cars look and handle fantastic. Get the driving wheel out! You'll also find some familiar race tracks on here too. Very nostalgic. The best racing game of all time without a doubt.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"The design process was simple and quick. I received my proofs back in a day or so and my order was delivered 4 days ahead of schedule! (always a plus in my book). I am working on sending out my save the dates this week. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas, you made my experience simple and enjoyable."
"I absolutely love the way our Save The Dates turned out! We chose the Swell Stripes design because it was simple with a vintage typewriter feel- exactly what we were going for. The thickness of the paper is perfect, and I was so pleased to see our cards in my mailbox earlier than expected! I would absolutely recommend this product, and Wedding Paper Divas, to anyone."
"I didn't change any of the text. It fit my theme perfectly which is rustic French country. They turned out exactly how I wanted and I love that we could add a note to our guests. I think that sets the tone for our fun wedding to come!!"
"We were very happy with our save the dates. The only trouble we had was that a few of the post cards had water damage once they arrived to our guests mostly from getting snow on them during delivery. They were adorable though, we did a sepia toned photo with the orange stripes. Our colors are coral and orange and this was perfect."

Junior quarterback Will Grier, who threw for a national record 837 yards and had 10 TD passes in a 104-80 North Carolina state playoff win last month, will be a Florida Gator.
Chad Grier, Will's father and Davidson Day football coach, said Wednesday his son "feels so strong about it that he is ready to commit now so he can focus on his schoolwork, improving his game and helping his team prepare for a third consecutive state championship."
The 6-foot-3, 190-pound QB trimmed his choice to five schools before choosing the Gators over North Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina State and Oregon.
A 2012 AP All-State selection, Grier threw for 3,785 yards and 49 touchdowns with 12 interceptions this season. He also carried 97 times for 925 yards and 11 TDs.
