Xtra Mile Events is a professional sports events management company, which organises a range of high quality triathlons, duathlons, runs, swims, and cycle events. By the end of 2014 we expect approximately 50,000 people to have taken part in our events since we started in 2007.
We organise endurance events for the public across Wales, the North West and Yorkshire. We also have a range of race services including hire of events equipment and electronic race timing. Additionally, we organise bespoke corporate sports events for companies, groups and charities. So if you are looking for something slightly different as a morale boosting exercise, a way to bring like-minded people together, a profile raiser, or just a bit of fun, we would love to discuss your needs and put a package together for you.
Racing takes everything you've got -- intellectually, emotionally, physically -- and then you have to find about ten per cent more and use that too.
Janet Guthrie, Professional Race Car Driver
At Xtra Mile Events we see all sorts of fantastic people crossing our finish lines, from those who have not done anything sporty since their last PE lesson, to professionals in the sport. No matter what their level of fitness, most competitors have something in common because they are the type of people who meet a challenge by putting their all into it, and then giving it that bit more – that extra 10%. From the time they set their goals and select an event, during their training, and finally in the effort they put into their performance on the day to get themselves all the way over the finish line, they are personally going their 'Xtra Mile'.
One of the most important principles of success is developing the habit of going the extra mile.
Napoleon Hill, American speaker & author
At Xtra Mile Events we strive to go the 'Xtra Mile' in all aspects of our business: from the information on our website, to support during your training, to excellent organisation, providing well-run, fun, friendly, exciting events with a brilliant atmosphere, fantastic goody bags, promotions to reward our many loyal customers, and more besides.
It's never crowded along the extra mile.
Wayne Dyer, American Speaker & Author
It is an elite group of people who decide to go the 'xtra mile' in what they do. Sign up for an Xtra Mile Event, and see how we go about doing things differently. Join our community on Facebook, and get a flavour for what we are up to!
The difference between tri and triumph is a little umph.
Xtra Mile Events is essentially a family business, headed up by wife and husband, Gemma Herbertson and Simon Hill, and supported by a top team of experienced staff located in our office in South Manchester. The staff, plus a large base of fantastic marshals on race days, are all responsible for helping the company to put on some great events, and for putting in that little 'umph' which keeps people coming back to our events and recommending them to their friends and colleagues.

Alive! In me...
The poem talks about your life after the death of a friend...
I lost a friend when I was a kid, and going through an old magazine I saw him in a group photograph. Memories blotted out everything and I didn't know what to do with those thoughts and emotions, so I just penned this down as a tribute.
May his soul rest in peace!
The journey to the other realm is short,
and the transition - swift.
You closed your eyes once, forever,
and alone I was left.
Here in this world which is now silent and still,
I breathe that which is not life anymore.
With you I lost that which nurtured me,
your absence shook my entire being, and my core.
Come back to me, come back here,
no more does life seem inviting.
Gardens remind me of the walks we had together in solitude,
but useless now are my tears and my longings.
Longing that you were still here,
so that we could be together, and be free.
But see, I'm still learning how to move on,
though I know now, anytime, any moment, you're alive in me.
I try to grow without you,
I try to accept the reality.
It cuts like a knife not to have you besides me,
but still, I live on, to keep you alive in me.
Look-how bad it feels to face others,
and not have you grasping my fingers.
Who is going to soothe my nerves now?
Alive in me, your presence is felt, but the loneliness is a curse.
I've found affection, I've found hope,
but even now do I miss your companionship.
My friend, how do you feel up there-amongst the clouds and angels,do you think of me?
Your ever smiling face haunts my sleep.
I've decided to cherish your memory forever,
till eternity shall it sustain me.
May you rest in peace, in tranquil silence,
you shall never cease being,
For you were, are, and shall remain- Alive! in me

Purchased on a Sunday Iolo Techologies software "Drive Scrubber" and attempt to install the program. The CD has a 3 part 'Activation Code' and the menu for activation has two entries labeled "ID" and "Serial Number". Entered the 3 part Activation Code in the 3 part Serial Number line and put my initials in the ID line. It comes back that it is invalid. Recheck that entered the Activation Code correctly and I had. Still no luck. Check packaging for more code or instructions or contact info etc. Not much luck. Try their web site: www.iolo.com and there is no contact info or menu's for contact. Try another website listed in the material for customer service and locate a telephone number for technical support. I am informed that I have to call on Monday to get the ID and serial number. Of course, there is no information in the packaging material about this. I take the software back to BEST BUY and they refuse to refund my money. Tell me that I have to contact the software company.

The U.S. Women's National Team will be staying in Atlanta a little longer than they planned to.
The U.S.'s friendly vs. Russia at the Georgia Dome scheduled for Wednesday has been postponed to Thursday night at 730pm due to the inclement weather that is hitting the area. In addition, the open training session scheduled for Tuesday has been cancelled.
U.S. Soccer said the decision to push the game back a day came with the fans' in mind, as Atlanta is expected to be in the midst of a snowstorm on Wednesday. The federation added that fans unable to attend the friendly on Thursday night could receive a full refund from the original point of purchase by Feb. 23 at the latest.
"After thorough discussions, we decided the best course of action was to delay the match considering the challenges our fans would likely encounter due to the snow and icy conditions," said U.S. Soccer director of communications Neil Buethe. "Our goal is to always provide the best experience for the fans and postponing the match for 24 hours will provide the 14,000-plus individuals who already purchased tickets with the best opportunity to attend the match"
The Americans defeated Russia in the first of a two-game set this past Saturday, picking up an impressive 7-0 victory at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton, Fla.
What do you think of the USWNT's friendly vs. Russia being postponed a day? Smart move? Thankful now more than ever that MLS doesn't play in the winter months?
Share your thoughts below.
The Imperative Voice
"challenges our fans would likely encounter due to the snow and icy conditions"
With chances of snow/rain this week best to give those southerners a couple days to get to the stadium.
I imagine the Russian team is rolling their eyes
Andy in Atlanta
actually… Atlanta is about to be hit with an ice storm… freezing rain is expected to dump so much on Atlanta that they expect a coating of over an inch thick on everything by noon tomorrow… so thanks for the smart ass comments… I grew up in the midwest… I know all about bad weather but I don't care who you are… you don't drive on sheets of ice…
we beat them 7-0
why not just include the USWNT into the professional women's league? It would $$$$$$$ you know it. they practically demolish all the opponents and lots of people enjoy the "USA VS" image
when will they schedule friendlies outside the USA? I know more money is to be made here but in places like France or Germany or Scandinavia, the games would still net a profit. probably 10,000 fans out to see.
They brought out 16k to their match in Germany and about 8k to their Netherlands match. Tough to work their schedule with the UEFA World Cup Qualifying which has been going on for most of the last year. They will be at the Algarve again this year (which draws about 500 fans a match).
World Cup Art
You don't mind the delay if you're hoping for another 7-0.
It should be postponed forever. It is simply a waste of time and space.
What a joke. To those who care, that is.
Jesus Quintana
Laughable, man. Minor league psych-out stuff. We would've kicked their butts Wednesday. We'll kick their butts Thursday instead.
Yea, lets play soccer in winter…..Genius! Sepp Blatter, take note between bribes.

Social Networking for Civil Society

Get Involved
You are probably familiar with social media services like Facebook, Twitter, and many others. What they have in common is that they enable individuals to stay in contact through virtual networks. Users can also post content such as text, images, videos, or they share a link to other websites. Lastly, users can interact with content or links by re-sharing them or by adding their opinion - for example by clicking "like". A post or message can in a short time reach many other users. The amount of data increases quickly, and so it is up to these services how to save their users from drowning in a flood of information.
The most important task of social media is therefore - similar to search engines - to act as a filter: They identify relevant content and suppress 'noise'. We all know from our emails that automatically separating relevant from irrelevant messages is not straightforward and it becomes increasingly difficult the more messages we receive. At Facebook, for instance, this filtering (known as EdgeRank) considers four main criteria:1)
You may have noticed that all mentioned criteria function like positive (i.e. amplifying) feedback loops that disproportionally prefer and promote a small amount of items, while risking to miss out many relevant ones. 2)
This capacity to predict what might become the favourites of the crowd and to amplify them to an avalanche makes these types of social media particularly powerful tools to mobilize masses. They have therefore prominently figured during the events known as Arab Spring. Here it was crucial to spread news and announcements in short time to many people without being dependent on communication channels that could be controlled or blocked by the authorities; neither could the activists risking to lose their core messages in the noise of daily communication.
The Arab Spring has inspired many thoughts about possible applications of social media for Burmese activism. Different than in many Arab urban centres, however, the technical infrastructure in Burma is still comparably underdeveloped. While since 2012 the connectivity and prices for Internet usage - in cybercafés, via modem or mobile - facilitate access by more people, the aforementioned types of social media that are able to create avalanches of tiny information pieces lost their purpose in a society where change is effected by - partly controlled - evolution, rather than revolution. Instead of mobilizing masses, online networks are now required to connect people and to share information for sustainable cooperation.
Past reforms in Burma have undoubtedly created a general feeling of increased freedom. There is, however, probably not a single activist who is not fully aware about the fragility, reversibility and superficiality of these changes. It is clear that there is still a long way to go from a visible facelift to tangible changes in all parts of the country and for all people. Police forces and the Burmese army still control the power with largely unreformed mindsets, politicians often show only limited sympathy for bottom-up democracy, judges don't always observe equality before the law, and the developing economy continues to favour crony businesses. Citizens will need to understand their rights and how to claim them, they will need access to relevant information, the possibility to connect with like-minded people, and to form communities of interest.
The accelerated technical development in Burma will make it necessary that networks
The need to connect activists and to enable them to exchange relevant information still prevails, but a network that is able to find relevant content for individual users requires now a new set of criteria for filtering:
Different from the approach used on Facebook and Twitter, information does not "degrade" in the course of time. A document that is one month old has therefore the same chances to be found as one that is one week old. Similarly, a less popular item can still be considered relevant for particular people. The proposed solution would furthermore have to respond to the following specific requirements:
We decided to name the proposed software solution mycitizen.net, with the double meaning of "my" as indicating a personal network for citizens and a project that is being developed for the particular case of Myanmar 3). The output will be developed for Burma, but also available at a later time for other countries and communities. Mycitzen.net, therefore, stands both for
This twin-constellation of development and deployment will allow us to test and assure the applicability.
While the platform seeks to support activism and other typical forms of civic engagement, it actually doesn't prefer any particular activity. A typical application of the platform could be exemplified by these user cases:

Johnny Depp Rocks Out at an Iggy and the Stooges Show
Johnny Depp hit the town in LA last night to see the Iggy and the Stooges concert at the Hollywood Palladium. He had a night out on the town with friends, but has been spending most of his time recently with partner Vanessa Paradis and their school-age kids Jack and Lily-Rose. Johnny has a break from working a movie right now, but he just wrapped up a global press tour for The Rum Diary. He may have had press to do for Hugo if his cameo in Martin Scorsese's 3D kids film worked out. Johnny was slated for a role in Hugo, but since the timing of the shoot coincided with his work on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, he had to pass.

Okay, so you're moving and you've got kids. You've picked out your new house, which turns out to be in a new location. You tell your kids the good news, they decide the important things like, who gets what room and then they ask, "where's my new school?".
When it comes to schooling, there are a few options to decide on before determining the which school your kids can go to based on your new home's location. Do you send your kids to public school or a separate school? Do you send your kids to an english language school or a school that offers french immersion? And of course you also want to consider if you need your kids to be bused to school or if they can walk to their new school.
Luckily we all have access to ample information about school via the Tri-Board website. Keep in mind that the information on this site could change, so it's always advisable to double check with the schools themselves to be sure.
This website not only provides ongoing busing information regarding bus cancellations and so forth, but you can also secure detailed information about school districts and bus availability based on your new address. On the homepage, click on the link that says "School and Transportation Eligibility by Address". Here is where you can enter your new address and find out which schools apply for your children based on your needs and their grade.
This website is a useful too to reference during your house hunt as well. If you are particular about a school, a quick reference when you find a house could go a long way. Never assume your location is feeding kids to a certain school – things change, school capacity changes, bus routes change and when it comes to schooling its best not to make an assumption.
If you have any opinions on you local school that other parents would like to know, please add a comment!

"Our issue in speaking with companions is that we have a hallucination of knowledge," said study co-creator Nicholas Epley. "Drawing near to somebody seems to make the deception of seeing more than real understanding."
Correspondence is the genuine work of administration; you basically can't turn into an awesome pioneer until you are an extraordinary communicator. Awesome communicators make an association that is genuine, passionate, and individual. The eight systems that take after will conquer the correspondence inclination that tends to keep us down. Apply these techniques and watch your relational abilities achieve new statures.
1.Speak to bunches as people
As a pioneer, you frequently need to address gatherings of individuals. Whether a little group meeting or an all inclusive social affair, you have to build up a level of closeness in your methodology that makes every person in the room feels as though you're talking straightforwardly to him or her. The trap is to converse with the gathering as though you were conversing with a solitary individual. Be candidly certified and radiate the same sentiments, vitality, and consideration you would one-on-one.
2.Talk so individuals will tune in
Extraordinary communicators read their group of onlookers deliberately to guarantee they aren't squandering their breath on a message that individuals aren't prepared to listen. Talking so individuals will listen implies you alter your message on the fly to stay with your group of onlookers. Rambling on to guarantee you've said what you needed to say does not have the same impact on individuals as connecting with them in an important discourse in which there is a trade of thoughts. Fight the temptation to effectively express your idea no matter what. At the point when you're talking prompts individuals asking great inquiries, you know you're destined for success.
3.Listen so individuals will talk
A standout amongst the most appalling allurements for a pioneer is to regard correspondence as a restricted road. When you convey, you should give individuals sufficient chance to talk their psyches. On the off chance that you find that you're regularly having the last word in discussions, then this is likely something you have to chip away at.
Listening isn't just about listening to words; it's likewise about listening to the tone, rate, and volume of the voice. What is being said? Anything not being said? What are the concealed messages? When somebody is conversing with you, quit everything else and listen completely until the other individual has got done with talking. When you are on a telephone call, don't sort an email. Basic practices like this will help you stay right now and get on the signals the other individual sends.
4.Connect sincerely
Maya Angelou said all that needed to be said: "Individuals will overlook what you said and did, yet they will always remember how you affected them." As a pioneer, your correspondence is feeble if individuals don't associate with it on an enthusiastic level. This is hard for some pioneers to pull off in light of the fact that they feel they have to extend a specific persona. Release that. To associate with your kin inwardly, you should be straightforward. Be human. Demonstrate to them what drives you, what you think about, what makes you get up in the morning. Express these sentiments straightforwardly, and you'll manufacture a passionate association.
5.Read non-verbal communication
Your power makes it hard for individuals to say what's truly on their brains. Along these lines, you should get to be proficient at comprehension implicit messages. The best abundance of data lies in individuals' non-verbal communication. Intentionally watch non-verbal communication amid gatherings and easygoing discussion. When you tune into non-verbal communication, the messages will turn out to be noisy and clear. Give careful consideration and you'll reveal actualities and sentiments that individuals are unwilling to express straightforwardly.
6.Prepare your goal
A little planning goes far toward saying what you needed to say and having a discussion accomplish its proposed sway. Try not to set up a discourse; build up a comprehension of what the center of a discussion should be and how you will perform this. Your correspondence will be more powerful and on moment that you set up your purpose early.
7.Skip the language
The business world is loaded with language and analogies that are safe when individuals can identify with them. Issue is, most pioneers abuse language and distance their subordinates and clients with their "business speak." Use it sparingly in the event that you need to associate with your kin.
8.Practise dynamic tuning in
Dynamic listening is a straightforward strategy that guarantees individuals feel listened, a crucial part of good correspondence. To practice dynamic tuning in:
• Spend additional time listening than you do talking.
• Do not answer questions with inquiries.

Seattle, Wash. – Forensic scientists from around the world flocked here in mid-February for a professional association meeting that was as intriguing as a Sherlock Holmes mystery and as riveting as an episode of CSI – the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS). I tagged along with my colleagues from the National Institute of Standards and Technology to help spread the word about what NIST does in forensic science.
With more than 900 scientific presentations and thousands of attendees, one person can only experience small slices of the weeklong gathering. I focused my time on the exhibit hall, poster sessions and presentations by NIST scientists. Curious about what they said? Read on for my day-by-day summary.
Tuesday, Feb. 18: Today marked a milestone for the NIST Forensic Science Program. Six of the team members gave a panel presentation on how NIST will bring about 20 independent scientific working groups under a new NIST-administered organization. NIST is in the process of establishing the Organization for Scientific Area Committees, or OSAC, a result of an agreement last year with the Department of Justice. The DOJ recently held the first meeting of the National Commission on Forensic Science. Both the commission and OSAC will work to set standards, guidelines and best practices for forensic science. However, the commission is expected to focus on policy issues while the OSAC is practice-focused. As a result, the criminal justice community and the broader public will be able to place greater confidence in crime lab analyses.
NIST staff members Mark Stolorow, Rich Cavanagh, Susan Ballou, Barbara Guttman, John Butler and John Paul Jones II were ready with scores of PowerPoint slides on their vision for OSAC. The presentation was also webcast, though not without technical glitches. Fortunately, it was recorded and is now available for viewing online.
The two-hour presentation included about 75 minutes of speaker presentations (see a pdf of the presentation slides) with 45 minutes reserved for questions. During the question and answer session, concerns were expressed about the exclusion of digital evidence from OSAC. Overall, the audience expressed appreciation for the amount of thought that NIST has put into the OSAC plan. If you want to follow developments with OSAC, visit www.nist.gov/forensics/osac.cfm.
Taking a break from booth duty, I walked over to the poster session where dozens of scientists were stationed along rows of bulletin boards, ready to explain various research projects. Posters full of graphics and text helped tell their stories, but the opportunity to ask the scientists questions in person is, in my opinion, one the best parts of AAFS. The variety of topics covered here is remarkable too, ranging from the effects of weather on human remains to the ability to detect tiny amounts of hand lotion from a crime scene.
I spoke with Brittania Bintz, a forensic research scientist at Western Carolina University, about work she does in collaboration with NIST to establish a threshold of detection for next generation DNA sequencing instruments. Work like this is important so that crime labs will have all the information they need to accurately interpret results from these instruments. You can see more about her work on the Western Carolina University website.
Today also offered a proud moment for Mark Stolorow, Director of the NIST Law Enforcement Standards Office. During the Criminalistics Section business meeting, he was presented with the AAFS Mary E. Cowan Outstanding Service Award. This award was also acknowledged before the full AAFS membership at its annual business meeting.
Thursday, Feb. 20: I devoted today entirely to attending scientific talks. With a highlighted copy of my list of NIST presentations, I arrived early enough at the convention center to buy a coffee (yes, Seattle's reputation for coffee is well earned).website. See the presentation slides (pdf).
With four other NIST speakers giving talks in moderated sessions this morning, I kept an eye on the clock and caught bits of most of them. NIST's Melissa Taylor spoke about how juries perceive statistical information used to qualify evidence. She also gave an update on the Expert Working Group on Human Factors in Handwriting Analysis. John Paul Jones II spoke on the Future State of Handwriting Examinations (pdf) with recommendations on how to integrate the latest measurement science and statistics into handwriting examinations. At the same time, James Yen was speaking on NIST work for the National Ballistic Imaging Comparison Project (pdf).
After a short lunch break and another pass through the poster session, I listened to a moderated session on digital and multimedia sciences. NIST's digital forensics program had a large presence in the digital and multimedia sciences session with five talks detailing various aspects of NIST's work in this area. Rick Ayers presented NIST's work in testing forensic tools for extracting data from mobile devices, such as phones and tablets. James Lyle spoke about a new set of reference materials for testing file carving tools – tools used to recover partial and/or deleted files. Doug White spoke about NIST's National Software Reference Library and its associated projects, including digital preservation and how approximate matching can be used to find similar files. John Tebbutt described a novel approach to cataloging and characterizing software artifacts on computer systems. Alex Nelson went on to describe how specific changes in the structure of the Windows(R) Registry – without reference to the content – indicate the presence of software on a computer, even if the software has since been uninstalled. You can view Doug and John's presentation slides here. Jim and Rick's presentation slides are here.
Capping the NIST talks today was Mike Coble's presentation on inter-laboratory studies for DNA interpretation. Such studies attempt to determine how forensic scientists interpret and attribute DNA analyses when samples from a crime scene contain DNA from two or more people. See his slides (pdf).
Whew! It was a busy day. Time to go pack for my trip back to the East Coast.
- Robert Thompson led off an early morning moderated session on firearms and toolmarks. That's the forensic specialty that matches bullets and bullet casings to a specific gun. He gave two presentations: "Automatic Identification of Bullet Signatures Based on Consecutive Matching Striae Criteria" (pdf) and "Tests Using the Congruent Matching Cell Method for Optical Image Correlations of Cartridge Cases Fired From Consecutively Manufactured Pistol Slides" (pdf).
- Ted Vorburger followed with a talk on "Reference Bullets and Cartridge Cases for Automated Ballistics Inspection Systems"(pdf).
- Alan Zheng spoke on "Topography Comparisons of Tool Marks Generated by Ten Consecutively Manufactured Chisels and Drift Punches" (pdf).
- And Brian Renegar gave a talk on "An Improved Vacuum Casting Method for the Replication of Reference Bullets" (pdf).
In another early jurisprudence moderated session, John Butler gave a talk on "DNA Mixture Interpretation: History, Challenges, Statistical Approaches, and Solutions."
Shannan Williams spoke on "Automated Identification Technologies: Improving the Management of Forensic Evidence" (pdf) in a general moderated session.
Joshua Hadler from NIST's Boulder lab, gave a talk of high interest to the aviation community, "Output Characterization of Handheld Lasers Used in Criminal Aircraft Illumination."
Saturday, Feb. 22: Meeting attendees who remained in Seattle for Saturday morning sessions, were rewarded to hear Mark Stolorow give an overview of NIST activities in the forensic sciences (pdf) and Martin Herman talk on "Strategic Research Directions in Forensic Science at the NIST Information Technology Laboratory" (pdf).
This wrap up should give you a sense of how much NIST research is relevant to the many specialties within forensic science disciplines. A year from now, AAFS will be in sunny Orlando. NIST scientists will certainly be there too.

I am trying to get Spiceworks working with wake on lan on my network. I got it working across a VLan but I cannot get it to wake a computer from the server that we have spiceworks on. The server is on a diffrent subnet, can get all the inventory data but cannot wake a computer if it says it is offline. I was wondering if it is possible that since out subnet is a 10.xxx.xxx.xxx if its possible that it may not be able to wake them up because it is sending that wake command on a 255.0.0.0 subnet mask when our mask is actually 255.255.255.0? If that is the case is there a way to specify the mask or if thats not the problem I'm up for any sugesstions.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
That would only be an issue if your mask was typed in incorrectly. Subnets are not naturally any particular size - which is why you must always supply a subnet manually. The idea that 10.x.x.x is a Class A is purely a sales thing (the way in which subnets in that number are sold.) Network gear does not recognize Classes of subnets so that is not an issue.

Health insurance tax: Find out how what you need to know about private health insurance and tax.
The Australian Tax Office (ATO) provides both incentives and penalties in relation to private hospital cover. The aim is to encourage more Australians to take out health insurance to relieve the pressure on the public system.
This guide looks at the carrots and sticks being employed, along with other ways to reduce the growing cost of private health.
What is the private health insurance rebate?
The Private Health Insurance Rebate is the biggest incentive for taking out health cover. At a maximum of 30%, it represents a sizeable saving on premiums and how much you get back is based on how much you earn. But is health insurance tax deductible?
Yes. You can receive your rebate in two ways:
- A tax rebate. Deduct the eligible percentage of your health insurance premiums from your tax return.
- Reduced premiums. Your health fund can apply the rebate to your premiums, which lowers the price you're charged.
The downside of the rebate is that it can be eroded by inflation. If your fund's annual premium increase is higher than the current CPI (and most are of late), then the rebate is reduced, meaning you won't get as much back.
The rebate levels applicable from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018 are:
< Age 65
Age 65-69
Age 70+
< Age 65
Age 65-69
Age 70+
Compare your health fund options today
Government incentives for health insurance
Private health insurance has several tax implications, both good and not-so-good for the average person. On the good side, there is a substantial tax incentive to help reduce the cost of premiums. This is known as the Private Health Insurance Rebate and it provides a tax rebate based on your age, your level of income and the number of dependants you have.
On the not-so-good side (depending on which side of the fence you are on), there are two main government initiatives designed to encourage everyone to take out private health cover (in particular hospital cover) and these are known as the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) and the Lifetime Health Cover (LHC) loading.
- Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS). The MLS is an additional tax on top of the normal 2% Medicare Levy, which those people earning over $90,000 (families $180,000) must pay if they do not have adequate hospital cover. It is designed to help reduce the burden on the public hospital system by encouraging those who can most afford it to take out private health cover.
- Lifetime Health Cover (LHC) loading. The LHC loading is also designed to encourage more people to take out private hospital cover and the earlier the better. It is a 2% loading that you must pay for every year over the age of 30 that you do not have adequate hospital cover. It encourages those who are younger to take out and maintain health cover from an early age to avoid paying the extra loading, which is capped at 70%.
Given these incentives and penalties, the way to save tax on health insurance is to get the largest rebate you are entitled to and avoid paying the extra loadings of the MLS and LHC if possible.
About the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS)
The MLS is an additional tax on top of the 2% Medicare Levy that everyone is required to pay. You are charged between 1% and 1.5% of your total annual income if you earn above a certain threshold, but only if you don't have adequate private hospital cover.
For instance, if you are an individual earning $90,000 a year and you don't have hospital cover, you'll pay an extra $900 tax (1% of your annual income). This increases to 1.25% if you earn more than $105,000 ($210,000 for families) and to 1.5% if you earn more than $140,000 ($280,000 for families).
Adequate hospital cover is defined as cover held with a registered health fund that covers some or all hospital fees and charges, with an excess payable by you of no more than $500 pa for singles and $1,000 pa for couples and families. As adequate hospital cover can usually be obtained for less than the 1% tax on a $90,000+ income, it makes sense for those liable for the MLS to take out cover and actually save money by doing so.

How can I save on my health insurance premiums?
As well as saving on tax, there are other more general ways to save on the cost of your health insurance premiums. These include:
- Joining or renewing your health cover before 31 March each year to postpone the annual CPI price increase and lock your cover in at the current price for the year.
- Reviewing your policy regularly to take advantage of special offers and switching to another fund if they are offering a better deal.
- Avoiding the MLS if you earn over a certain amount by taking out an adequate level of basic hospital cover.
- Joining a health fund before you turn 31 to ensure you get cover at the lowest possible rate (without the 2% a year LHC surcharge).
- Tailoring your policy to ensure that you only pay for extras you get the most value from (e.g. optical, dental, physio) and hospital cover that you will use (e.g. you may no longer need pregnancy or IVF cover).
- Paying your premiums in advance and by direct debit (many funds offer discounts for this).
- Increasing the excess that you pay towards hospital and extras cover (the higher the excess, the lower the premium), but making sure you can afford it if the money is required at short notice.
- Joining a restricted membership health fund if you are eligible such as an industry or super fund, where premiums are often lower and benefits higher for members.
- If you have dependants, switching to a fund that offers perks for families such as no hospital excess and gap-free extras cover for children.
Health insurance premium rate rise
As mentioned previously, funds increase their premium rates every year on 1 April. They do this, not to make higher profits, but to keep up with the ever increasing cost of medical treatment. The amount of the increase can vary considerably by fund (it can be as low as 3% or as high as 9%), but it generally averages out to around 5 or 6% pa.
While this rate rise is inevitable, given the inevitable rise in medical costs, there are ways to reduce the impact on your premiums. The short term way, as discussed previously, is to pay your premium before 1 April to lock in the old rate for another year. A more long term strategy is to shop around between funds to find one that provides the same cover you have now, but with a more affordable premium due to a lower rate rise.

To map the function-related protein regions the ATPase activity and adhesive behavior of OppA mutants were analyzed. Mutations of the Walker BA motifs resulted in an inhibition of up to 8% of the OppA ATPase activity, whereas deletion of the N-terminal CS1 or the CS2 region, structural motifs that are conserved in bacterial OppA proteins, reduced ATPase activity to 60% and deletion of CS3, the third conserved region adjacent to the Walker B motif led to a reduction to 42% ATPase activity.
Interestingly, adhesion of the OppA mutants to immobilized HeLa cells demonstrated that two distal regions are mainly involved in adherence of OppA: the CS1 region, deletion of which led to 35% of the cytoadhesion, and the Walker BA with the adjacent upstream region CS3, deletion of which led to 25% of the cytoadhesion. The influence of the ATPase activity on the adherence of
These findings suggest that the OppA-mediated cytoadherence of
Adherence to host tissues is an essential and complex stage of bacterial colonization preceding the establishment of a bacterial infection. Therefore analysis of surface exposed proteins is a very important step in providing more information about the mechanisms of adhesion, colonization and invasion of host tissues as well as of the ability of the organism to evade the host immune system.
A large number of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria use fimbriae and pili for bacterial attachment
Based on the sequence characteristics of this ATPase domain, OppA belongs to the class of P-loop NTPases whose nucleotide binding fold is composed of a conserved Walker A motif (a so called P-loop) and a less conserved Walker B motif. These are both generally found in the cytoplasmic ATP-hydrolyzing domains of ABC-transporters as motors for transport
To date mammalian ecto-ATPases have been shown to be involved in several cell functions: 1. protection from the cytolytic effect of extra-cellular ATP
In the present work the relationship of the two OppA-functions, ATPase activity and cytoadherence, was analyzed. We show that the cytoadhesion of
Generation of recombinant OppA mutants modified in putative functional sites
To dissect which regions of the OppA polypeptide chain might determine adhesion and its ATPase activity, recombinant OppA mutants were constructed (Figure

The binding sites of mAb BG11 and mAb DC10 are depicted with antibody icons. CS1, a conserved region of bacterial OppA proteins, is shown in diagonal strips, and conserved regions of mycoplasmal OppA proteins are depicted by dotted areas (CS2) and vertical strips (CS3). The ATP-binding site consists of the C-terminal localized Walker A (grid) and Walker B (horizontal strips) motifs. The deletion mutants were sign with gaps between the OppA bulks. Modified regions of the Walker A mutants were described below the OppA bulks. B. SDS-PAGE of the recombinant OppA mutants and wild type proteins P50, P60/P80, OppAwt and the dephosphorylated OppAΔPi variant. The purified proteins were separated on a 9.5% SDS gel followed by Coomassie staining and the wild type OppA variants in addition by ProQ- staining demonstrating phosphorylations. SeeBlue Plus 2 Pre-Stained Standard from Invitrogen was used as molecular weight marker.
In the search for conserved sequence motifs in OppA proteins of different species, three regions with high homologies were detected: the region of AA179 - AA244, which is conserved in bacterial OppA proteins, thus named CS1 (
With regard to the ATPase activity of OppA we analyzed five mutants. In 2004 two OppA mutants, OppAK875R (here named OppAWA1) and OppAΔP-loop (OppAWA2) had already been characterized. They were modified to different extent within the Walker A region (AA869 - AA876) leading to a decreased ATPase activity to 15% (OppAWA1) and 6% (OppAWA2) in relation to the wild type
ATPase activity of the OppA mutants
First the kinetics of ATP hydrolysis of the different OppA mutants was analyzed by measuring the release of free phosphate (Figure

As shown in Figure
Next we examined the contribution of the other conserved regions on the catalytic function of OppA. Deletion of the CS2 region (AA365-372) led to an increased Km in the OppAΔCS2mutant (2.56 ± 0.43 mM ATP) (Figure
These data provide evidence that in addition to the Walker A and B motif the conserved regions CS3, CS1, and CS2 affect ATPase activity (in descending order) and suggest that these regions are involved in stabilizing the catalytic ATPase domain of OppA.

Adherence of OppA to HeLa cells in the presence of ATPase inhibitors. OppA (black bars) or P60/P80 as a control (white bars), (0.5 μg OppA/well and 0.3 μg P60/well) were preincubated with 200μM DIDS, suramin, ouabain or oligomycin for 20 min before analyzing in adhesion assay. ATPase activity (A) and adhesion efficiency (B) were measured and depicted in relation to the untreated OppA. OppA (0.5 μg protein) was preincubated with FSBA or MgATP for 20 min and then added to HeLa cells (C). Adherence of OppA to HeLa cells in dependence on supplement concentration was determined as described in Material and Methods. Data represent means of three independent experiments with triplicate samples in each experiment. Statistical analysis was performed by unpaired t-test and statistically significant results designated by *. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001.
OppA adherence depends mainly on ATP-hydrolysis
To ascertain whether binding of OppA depends not only on a conserved ATPase domain architecture but in fact on ATP hydrolysis, OppA binding to HeLa cells was characterized in the presence of DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-stilbene-disulfonic acid), an inhibitor of ecto- ATPases; suramin, an inhibitor of Ca2+-ATPases; oligomycin, an inhibitor of F1-ATPases; and ouabain, an inhibitor of Na+/K+-dependent ATPases.
OppA was neither able to hydrolyze ATP (Figure
To test the hypothesis that attachment of OppA is an energy-consuming step provided by ATPase hydrolysis we added FSBA (5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine), a non-hydrolyzing adenosine, to the adhesion assay. ATP hydrolysis as well as adhesion of OppA to HeLa cells were competitively reduced in a dose-dependent manner to approximately 30% showing that ATP hydrolysis is essential for adhesion of OppA (Figure

Bacterial OppA proteins usually function solely as substrate-binding domains of oligopeptide permeases. Oligopeptide importers (OppABCDF) belong to the class of ATP-binding-cassette- (ABC-) transporters with two pore-forming domains (OppBC) and two cytoplasmic ATPases (OppDF)

About Heather
Large range of parks nearby include St James Park, Leyton Jubilee, Low Hall Sports Park, and Epping Forest. Willing to travel.
I've lived with dogs almost my entire life, until I moved to London - we've had two Labradors and one King Charles at my family home. I miss being around dogs terribly and would have a great time taking care of yours. I live in Walthamstow, in a semi-detached house with a large enclosed yard out the back with high fencing, and a large sitting room. Dog walks on the weekends are my ideal booking, and I'm happy to base any activity like a day care service out of the owner's home if they would prefer.
- Property type: House
- Resident dogs: 0
- Other Pets: None

Klaine - Mates or Dates?
It all started that day when I went to spy on the Warblers. I was totally lost on the stairs, and just grabbed the arm of the first person I saw. And it was him. The guy of my dreams. Luck was on my side that day.
"Excuse me? Can I ask you a question? I'm new here." I had asked, after a moment of being awestruck by the beautiful boy who stood in front of me.
"My name's Blaine." The black-haired, hazel eyed boy had answered.
"Kurt." I replied, taking the hand you offered. Such a gentleman. "Uh, so what exactly is going on?" I asked.
"The Warblers! Every now and then they throw an impromptu performance in the senior commons. Tends to shut the school down for a while." Blaine had replied with a grin.
"So.. The glee club here is kind of.. cool?" I questioned, baffled.
"The Warblers are like rock stars." He had said matter-of-fact-ly. "Come on. I know a shortcut!" And then he had grabbed my hand, like it was nothing, and led me through the school. I was blown off my feet. He was so... So.. charming.
"Ooh.. I stick out like a sore thumb.." I groaned as we entered the commons.
"Well, next time don't forget your jacket, new kid, you'll fit right in. Now if you'll excuse me." Blaine had said, smoothing the lapel of my coat and patting my arm. Then he had walked off, and much to my dismay, begun singing. Teenage dream, by Katy Perry. And all the while, staring, seemingly, at me. I felt myself falling hard for him. I didn't even know if he was gay or straight or what yet. But I didn't care. He was beautiful. Later, in the coffee shop, I felt my heart soar when he admitted, totally casual, that he was gay, to me, a guy he hardly knew. I felt as if I knew him already. Like we were destined to be together. Soul mates. I poured my heart out to him, and he listened. He supported me. He was amazing.
He had me at: "My name is Blaine."

You can do a 4k 360 livestream from anywhere with the ALLie Home camera and newly-announced ALLie Go battery pack. Hit the jump for details. Plus: a discount code for $100 off and free shipping for the ALLie Home!
A few months ago, I posted that ALLie is interested in expanding the use of the ALLie Home to outdoors, and may be working on a standalone camera. It turns out that they are actually releasing a battery pack to enable the ALLie Home to be used outdoors.
The ALLie Go battery pack simply attaches to the bottom of the ALLie Home to provide up to 2 hours of usage. With the ALLie Go battery pack, it is possible to livestream anywhere (you'll need a Wi-Fi connection such as through your phone) up to ALLie Home's 4k resolution (4096 x 2048 @ 20fps).
Here are some sample outdoor livestreams from ALLie:
The battery pack will be available mid-October for $59.95 and is compatible with all ALLie models.
If you're interested in an ALLie Home camera, try this code to get $100 off and free shipping: DaylightOnly. The code is only for a limited time and I don't know when it will expire. Please note it's for the version of ALLie that doesn't have night vision.

Wearing CorduroyHi Billy,
I'm a fan of corduroy, but am not sure how to pull it off. Does its thickness matter? Is it too casual for suiting?
Thank you,
Ben G.
My favorite jeans are corduroy, that I have had for years. They are fairly normal Levi's-type wale cord that I've worn down almost flat and patched them. I wear them year-round. A cord suit I also love, but for fall and winter only. For the suit, I prefer a normal to pinwale so you don't look like a sofa.
Stylish Winter BootsHi Billy,
I live on the East Coast, where we were dumped with a ton of snow! I need a pair of serious winter boots that can go the distance but will look good with a suit. Any suggestions?
Anthony R.
I'm trudging in downtown New York snow right now in high-laced cordovan boots with lug soles. They're handmade, so you get the feel and look of a nice handmade boot, but it's not totally "outdoorsy," so it looks good with a suit or great with jeans. We make several of our boots to perform this way.
