Title: Writing Dark Stories
Author: Rayne Hall
Category: Non-Fiction/How-To
My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My Review:
Rayne Hall was one of the first writers I followed on Twitter and one of the first to engage with me in a meaningful way. She always replied to any tweets, was quick to reciprocate when I promoted her books, and always ready with an answer if I was stuck (on tweeting or writing!)
Thanks to this positive interaction I decided to see what Rayne's books were all about. She writes horror and fantasy (a huge tick in the box for me), she also has a black cat (we're practically soul sisters!), but it was her Writer's Craft Series that hooked me in. Over the years I have added every new release to my growing collection and find them to be a valuable resource. Continue reading "#BookReview Writing Dark Stories by @RayneHall #HowTo #wwwBlogs"

Arthur Brown imo is the best linebacker. I had him ahead of Mosley to. He's the one guy I want out of anyone.
What good pass rushers has Fisher faced in his career? That's the issue with him
Minter broke out this year and showed that he could shed blockers and tackle anything near him. He's what you want in the middle from a physical standpoint. Hard to tell if he's mentally up to the position. The adjustments aren't even close to the same level in college. He did end up as the clear leader of that defense this year so that's another quality you're looking for at MLB. I'd be happy to draft him especially in the 3rd or lower.
I think doubling up on linebackers is something that they should definitely consider. There are some good one's in this draft.
I am also hoping that they switch to more of a 4-3 front...That would assist the pass rush a lot and would assist with covering the middle of the field.

Gonna regear.....what else should I do while its apart?
I found some gears nip on craigslist cheap so I had to buy them. I got frt. and rear Superior 4.56's for my d30 and 35 with the bearing and instal kits for $200 I found a guy to install them at a good price too. I see all the horror stories about the d35's but Im gonna run it anyway cause thats what I have. I dont mind spending a few bucks to beef it up with axles or a locker but I dont know what to get. Lmk what you think would be the best route for the money. I have about 800 I could spend on it if need be. thanks
I personally think Chromoly axle shafts are a good thing to have.
If you have the money and you are going to be in there it wouldn't hurt to throw a locker up front and some chromoly axles in the rear. My front lockright was 280 and my alloy USA axles where 250. Throw a true track in the rear for 400. And be done.

Use API Keys in API Gateway without Usage Plans Enabled
Since the API Gateway usage plans feature was launched on August 11, 2016, usage plans will be enabled for you in a region where you start using API Gateway the first time. In this case, you must use a usage plan to associate an API key with an API stage, skip any further discussions of this topic, and follow the instructions in Use API Gateway Usage Plans.
If you created an API Gateway API before then and have not enabled usage plans in the region since then, you can follow the instructions given in this section to associate an API key with an API stage to identify API callers, to restrict API access to those users with matching API keys, and to curtail abusive uses with different API keys.
To use an API key without enabling usage plans, you need to perform the following tasks:
Create an API key.
Enabled it on specific API methods.
Deploy the API to a stage.
Associate the key with the API stage.
Distribute the key to your customers and ask them to supply it in calls to the enabled API methods.
API keys are not meant as a security mechanism for controlling access to an API. To enable secure access control, use IAM permissions, custom authorizers or a Amazon Cognito User Pool.
You must not have API Gateway usage plans enabled.
You must have an API available in API Gateway. Follow the instructions in Creating an API.
You must have deployed the API in API Gateway at least once. Follow the instructions in Deploying an API.
Use an API Key when Usage Plans Are Not Enabled
The following instructions apply only if usage plans are not enabled for your account in the chosen region. To associate an API key with an API stage in a usage plan, follow the instructions in Use API Gateway Usage Plans.
To use the API Gateway console to enable an API key without usage plans, follow these instructions:
Sign in to the API Gateway console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/apigateway.

Choose a method under a resource of your choosing.
Choose the Method Request box
If API Key Required is set to false, choose the pencil icon next to it. Choose true from the drop-down list and then choose the check-mark icon to save the setting.
Note that the steps above configure the API Gateway to enforce using API key on the method. Otherwise, the API key created following the instructions below will not be used for any of such calls.
Deploy or redeploy the API for the requirement to take effect.
Create an API key:
In the API Gateway main navigation pane, choose API Keys.
Choose Create API Key from the Actions drop-down menu.
For Name, type a name for the API key entry.
Choose either the Auto Generate option for API Gateway to generate the key or the Custom option for you specify the key value manually. A key value is an alphanumeric string of a size between 30 and 128 characters long.
Optionally, type a description for the API key in the Description text box.
Choose Save. Make a note of the key displayed in API key. Callers of the enabled method must specify the key value in the
Choose Show next to API key to view the newly created API key. Your customers must provide this key as the
x-api-keyheader value when they call this method.
The generated API key is enabled by default, allowing the API caller to access the API, provided that the supplied API key matches the one configured. To prevent the apps with the specified API key from accessing the API, choose Edit, deselect the Enabled option, and then choose Save.
Associate an API key with an API stage
Under API Stage Association, choose the name of the API from the Select API drop-down list.
Choose the name of a stage of the chosen API from the Select stage drop-down list.
Choose Add to save the setting.
The console UI elements shown above are not available if usage plans have been enabled for your account and region.

x-api-keyheader to call the key-required method. For example, if the API key of
hzYAVO9Sg98nsNh81M84O2kyXVy6K1xwHD8is required on the
GET /method in the
teststage of an API (
yd4f8dz2vf), the caller must submit the following request to invoke the method.Copy

CSU's Phillips, Meyer Awarded NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CSURams.com) – Colorado State cross country and track & field athletes Chloe Phillips and Christian Meyer were each awarded $7,500 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. CSU made the announcement Friday.
Phillips and Meyer are two of up to 174 former student-athletes to receive the honor. Phillips is in graduate school at CSU in occupational therapy, while Meyer will attend Vanderbilt this fall joining a six year program that will lead to a Ph.D. in physics and bio-magnetic sciences.
After earning her undergrad at Mississippi State, Phillips transferred to CSU to begin grad school and use up her final year of eligibility in cross country and track & field. In just one year with the Rams, Phillips amassed two academic all-Mountain West nods, as well as an MW Scholar-Athlete honor. The Flagstaff, Ariz., native achieved a cumulative 3.667 grade-point average while at CSU, the highest on the team among seniors.
"Competing in the NCAA has been an incredible opportunity for these past five years, but beyond that has been a blessing in helping me achieve and afford higher education to accomplish my dreams beyond the track," said Phillips. "I have had the privilege of competing at CSU for one year while gaining my masters in occupational therapy. This year with the Rams has come to an end far too quickly, as I have been overwhelmed by the support, warmth, and encouragement that I have received from day one by my coaches, teammates, and athletic staff. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Ram family and will forever cherish my year with them. The consistency, dedication, and relentlessness that my coaches have fostered are helping me to make this transition from being a student-athlete to successfully achieving my goals as an occupational therapist. While I no longer have to show up to the track each week with my game face on, ready to pour my heart into an interval session, I carry that game face with m e as I desire to move forward into this next chapter pouring my heart into different things: my patients and research within the field of occupational therapy. College athletics has proven to be a far greater and fuller adventure than I ever could have bargained for. It has given me more than just the potential and work ethic to compete as an athlete, college athletics have helped teach me to bring your best to every endeavor that you invest in. It has given me more than just the support of people to cheer me on during a race, college athletics have provided me with relationships and support systems that I will hang onto for much longer. I can't express my appreciation for the Rams enough and the way they have supported me in my running, my graduate studies, and simply in life."
This award is in addition to the $2,500 scholarship Meyer won earlier this month for earning the Men's Mountain West Scholar-Athlete of the Year. He became the fifth track & field athlete to win CSU's Merrill-Gheen Award in the past eight years this month. Throughout his collegiate career, the Albuquerque, N.M., native maintained an outstanding cumulative GPA of 3.845. In the 2013-14 academic year Meyer was a two-time academic all-conference recipient as well as a Mountain West Scholar-Athlete. This past year he held the highest GPA amongst his senior classmates on both the cross country and track & field squads.
"This award has been cause for great celebration, but also humble reflection on the myriad of people who have helped me achieve it," commented Meyer. "The longer I contemplate the more grateful I become as this award is repurposed, not as an award for individual merit, but one for the effort of a community. This award then is for the Colorado State family, of whom I am blessed to be a member, for the guidance and persistence that acted as conduits of God's amazing grace into my life."
NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Program
The NCAA awards up to 174 postgraduate scholarships annually, 87 for men and 87 for women. The scholarships are awarded to student-athletes who excel academically and athletically and who are at least in their final year of intercollegiate athletics competition.
The one-time grants of $7,500 each are awarded for fall sports, winter sports and spring sports. Each sports season (fall, winter and spring), there are 29 scholarships available for men and 29 scholarships available for women. The scholarships are one-time, non-renewable grants.

Palutena's Will
Pit gazed over the small pool in the middle of the Sky Palace. With nothing better to do with his time he watched the battles going on across the world. A fox and a boy clad in green, two regal women next to a short man in red. It was intertaining watching their lives unfold in the reflecting pool.
Being the captain of the Guardians of light, you would think Pit would be busy. But the sky has been quiet, nothing threatened Palutena or the Sky Palace.
"Pit." A light suddenly rose from the room, and it became filled with the sweet sound of Palutena's voice. "You must desend to the planet in need. You have been watching the beginings of a war, between good and evil. It threatens not only me, but many others."
Pit felt a shiver run though his body, he was waiting for an assignment for years. He had his chance. "Goddess of Light, what shall I use for a weapon? Shall I use the..."
"Yes the Bow of Light." Palutena handed him the bow, trimmed with gold. Pit grabbed it and the familiar three rings appeared around his wrist.
"I will not fail you my Godess." Pit bowed and made his way towards the open doors on the other side of the room. Palutena faded and then dissapeared leaving nothing but darkness.
Pit pulled apart the bow into two swords, smiling he jumped from the door, spead his wings and began to glide along the clouds. He used the swords like rudders, cutting though the clouds and steering as he brushed up against the fluffy masses.
"For Palutena!" Pit screamed as he dived towards the ground below, leaving the Sky Palace behind.

In pure clock time I work about fifty hours a week. Fourty hour weeks I think are overrated. I wouldn't complain if my manager made me leave two hours earlier each day, mind you, but I think a particular number of hours at work is much less important than the amount of time a person is being productive.
A few years ago I was very frustrated because I never seemed to get done everything I thought I should have gotten done in a week, so I started keeping track of my time. I purposely stayed very low tech and just used a text file with very simple formatting:

When I first started keeping track of my time my scheme was even simpler: just the start time and a description of what I did. This helped me understand how I spent my week, but it was still hard to get a big picture of what exactly I did. For example:
- How much time did I spend on tasks I needed to get done?
- How much time did I spend helping other people on my team?
- How much time did I spend in meetings — and what types of meetings?
So I started recording a category between the time and the description. That helped with the big picture, but I also need to update my schedule with how much time I spent on each task. So I added a task title between the category and the description. To make it easy to parse this information out of my time log, I set off the category and task title with special characters, giving me this general layout:
<start time> – <category> – |<task title>| description
I have a small C# console app that parses the log and analyzes the data (slightly edited for clarity and to avoid mentioning things I shouldn't, so the numbers may not quite add up):

The first table totals the time I spent on each task this week. The next table is the average time per category per day since I started recording data this way, and the last table is the average time per category per day for the last five days. (Hmm…much less than usual this particular week. I took an afternoon or two off that week, I think. I don't do anything special to handle time off.)
Now I have data I can act on, rather than vague feelings that I'm not getting enough done. Now I know, for example, that some weeks I get less than two hours a day done on "me" tasks, but other weeks I manage to put in five-and-a-half hours on those tasks each day. I know that I spend an average of an hour-and-a-half on email and other admin tasks each day (e.g., checking email, 1:1s with management) and another two-and-a-half hours in recurring meetings and other tasks of semi-fixed length.
Meetings. Yes, I spend lots of time in meetings. I knew when I took this position that part of the job was synching up with other teams in my product group and across Microsoft — in other words, in meetings. My regularly scheduled meetings include:
- Test all-hands meeting
- Dev all-hands meeting
- Product group all-hands meeting (mostly demos and dessert — definitely an important one <g/>)
- Test design review
- Dev design review
- Feature team synch meeting
- Test leads synch meeting
- Dev/Test synch meeting
- Technical 1:1s with my team
- 1:1 with my boss
- Skip-level 1:1 with my boss's boss
- Test Symposium on testing techniques
- Division working group on testing methodologies
- Synch meetings with test leads on teams we have dependencies on
With this data in hand I could start to understand where my time was really going and what I needed to change in order to make it go where I wanted it to go. My goal is to regularly spend twenty-five hours each week on me tasks (the StoryDoing category and Do tasks in the tables above), which number I chose because it seems to be the average amount of work various pundits say an average developer gets done in an average week. (And because two hours a day clearly wasn't sufficient. <g/>)
Looking through my log, I could see that I spent a lot of time in meetings (which I well knew) but also that the meetings tended to be spread out throughout the day. Looking at what I did in between meetings, I saw that I didn't often get real work done in that interval. I also realized that I didn't really need to go to all of these meetings all the time. So I moved what meetings I could into blocks of back-to-back meetings, and I converted other meetings into conversations via other means (an email or a short phone call is often sufficient) or just plain skipped them (many of them some of the time but none of them all of the time). The most important change, however, was becoming very disciplined about actually doing work in that 'tween-meeting time.
Of course, before you can get something done you need to know what it is you are to be doing. Even just five minutes is sufficient to make a bit of progress on a spec or user scenario or test case, but only if you don't spend the first four minutes deciding what to work on. I've tried a plethora of different methods for keeping track of and ordering my tasks: a list that I update and copy to a new yellow stickie each week, appointments in Outlook, a list on the front page of my OneNote notebook, and stories akin to what agilists and Extreme Programmers use, just to name a few. I've tried prioritizing and doing the most important task first, timeboxing, living by fire drill, and various other organizational methods. None of this worked very well.
My current process is a variant of that propounded by Mark Forster in his book Help Yourself Get Everything Done and Still Have Time to Play:

This list of tasks comprises more or less everything I need to do in a week. For each task I've defined the length of time I'll spend on that task. No task is longer than ninety minutes, so some tasks appear in the list multiple times. The arrows on the right mark tasks I haven't done yet. When I get through everything, I put all the arrows back and start again from the top. Everything gets visited at least a little, and the most important tasks get visited a lot.
This system completely relies on me having the discipline to stop working on a task when its time is up. I wrote a tiny WinForms app to do the countdown for me: countdowns from 5, 10, 20, 45, and 90 minutes are just a button-press away, double-clicking the form pauses/resumes the countdown when I'm interrupted, and it makes a nasty noise when time runs out.
It's taken me awhile, but I'm becoming comfortable with this system. It's working, too: the last several weeks I've been Doing about twenty hours a week. That's less than the twenty-five hours that's my goal, but I'm getting there. It's great to go home actually feeling I've accomplished something!

Or less than a month ago.
I'm refining my bear stew weekly now, and if I prepare it just like beef stew, but add lots of liquid and let it simmer for 3 hours before making the gravy and tossing in the potatos, onions and carrots, the meat comes out nice and tender.
If you're not going to eat it, don't hunt or fish for it, IMO.
@lerxstLocale: Northeast
I can't fathom why anyone who hikes in brown bear habitat doesn't carry some kind of defensive weapon. I wouldn't go hiking with anything smaller than .45 ACP. It may not stop the bear but it has enough ballistic muscle to make it reconsider it's position. Certainly beats having your back used as tartare.
@hknewmanLocale: Western US
Eventual extra gear takes us out of the UL or even lightwt categories, though habitat must be considered. We haven't lost any Alaskans yet, so nylon crusted UL HIKER in a salty sweat sauce doesnt seem to be on the menu so far.
We can always play it safe, but besides a firearm for bear defense, add a climbing helmet -worn in case a fatal widowmaker falls on you while hiking (no joke, it's happened), flares, 200 ft' of climbing rope, a SPOT and an ACR transceiver, full FAK with splints, Sawyer bite kit (extract snake and insect venoms), and calf high, leather combat boots, an Arcteryx Bora 65 to pack it all, and we will be all set for the wilderness. A few miles into the wilderness anyways.

US STOCKS-Dow, S&P 500 end at 5-yr highs on early earnings beats
* Weak outlook weighs on Intel
* Morgan Stanley up after results
* U.S. Republicans weigh short-term debt limit increase
* Dow up 0.4 pct; S&P up 0.3 pct; Nasdaq down 0.04 pct
By Caroline Valetkevitch
NEW YORK, Jan 18 (Reuters) - The Dow and S&P 500 closed at five-year highs on Friday as the market registered a third straight week of gains on a solid start to the quarterly earnings season.
Morgan Stanley was the latest Wall Street bank to report strong results. Its better-than-expected earnings followed similar report cards from Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase earlier in the week.
Shares of Morgan Stanley shot up 7.9 percent to $22.38. It reported a fourth-quarter profit after a year-earlier loss, helped by higher revenue at the bank's institutional securities business.
But Friday's rise was held back by shares of Intel Corp , which slumped 6.3 percent to $21.25 a day after it forecast quarterly revenue below analysts' estimates and announced plans for increased capital spending amid slow demand for personal computers. Continued...

Report: Huddersfield Town 1-2 City
Mark Perrow reports from John Smith's Stadium
Two first-half goals and a penalty save earned City a vital victory on the road to leapfrog their hosts in torrential rain in West Yorkshire.
Jonathan Kodjia helped in Marlon Pack's devilish free kick to score goal number nine of his debut season in English football to put the visitors in front inside seven minutes.
But within four minutes City owed a debt of gratitude to goalkeeper Frank Fielding for guessing right – to his left – to deny Huddersfield's Emyr Huws from the spot.
It was Aden Flint who reacted quickest to clear the loose ball, before the defender showed his effectiveness at the other end to head home Luke Freeman's free kick.
The home team continued to probe with patient football, but it was the more direct approach from Harry Bunn that handed them a lifeline with six minutes to go, as the substitute finally found a way past Fielding with a thunderous 30-yard drive, but City held on for maximum points.
Steve Cotterill made four changes to his side beaten at home by Blackburn Rovers last time out.
Two of which were enforced, with Nathan Baker and Derrick Williams suspended and injured respectively, meaning a new-look left side with Liam Moore and Joe Bryan filling the void.
Elsewhere, Pack returned from his ban to replace Bobby Reid in midfield, while Aaron Wilbraham was recalled to partner Kodjia up front.
As is often the case, City started brightly. Luke Freeman stung the palms of goalkeeper Jed Steer before
glanced home Pack's inswinging free kick with a deft header.
Steve Cotterill's men finally had the opening goal that has eluded them in recent weeks, but within four minutes Huddersfield were presented with the perfect chance to cancel out City's lead.
Huws embarked on a positive surge from midfield that carried him deep into visiting territory before slipping the ball to his left for Nahki Wells, who got his body in front of Luke Ayling and duly went to ground when contact arrived from the retreating defender.
Referee Jeremy Simpson wasted no time in pointing to the spot to signal the fourth penalty City have conceded in five matches.
But Fielding duly doubled his tally of spot-kick saves for the season by diving low to his left to keep out Huws' penalty before the Welshman was bravely kept out on the rebound by the anticipating Flint, who threw himself in the way to preserve City's clean sheet.
The big defender would have to receive extended treatment whilst his team-mates were forced to stem the flow of Huddersfield attacks a man light.
Town had enjoyed plenty of possession but City still carried a threat going forward. Wilbraham turned well on the edge of the box and forced a save from Steer on his left foot before he was crowded out in attempting to meet Elliott Bennett's chipped cross.
But it would be another set-piece goal that offered Cotterill's side some breathing space on 29 minutes.
Again it was a free kick awarded on the City left – slightly more central than the last but still outside shooting territory.
This time Freeman was the provider, drilling a flatter delivery towards the back post where
pulled away to score with an excellent header back across Steer's dive.
Suddenly you could see the confidence coursing through the City players. Korey Smith, typically busy in midfield, spread the ball wide to Bennett, whose low centre ran just beyond the stretching Kodjia and went unconverted by Wilbraham behind him – possibly unsighted by his strike partner's attempt to score.
Fielding was having to be alert at the other end, not helped by a greasy surface as the rain continued to teem down, with the City number one saving smartly from Joe Lolley and Wells on a couple of occasions including a fierce drive that was creeping inside the near post.
Huddersfield were prepared to take risks and left gaps as a result. Freeman was enjoying himself in midfield and found the advancing Bryan, who crept into the box and went for goal on his right foot with a shot that landed kindly into the path of Kodjia, who could only prod the ball into the arms of Steer.
Bennett was again proving a problem for City's opponents down the opposite flank and delivered another teasing cross this time met by Moore at the far post, but the defender sent his shot high over the bar from eight yards.
City resumed their efforts to put the game to bed after the interval. Again Freeman combined with Bryan, as this time the Bristolian's cross was kept out by a combination of the back-pedalling Steer and his crossbar.
But the Terriers were always likely to make a game of it and Ben Chilwell should really have hit the target with a free shot from 12 yards that he dragged fractionally wide.
Fielding adopted an unorthodox approach to deal with another stinging effort from Wells, this time punching the wet ball back into play where Sean Scannell could only fire high and wide on the stretch.
Then Lolley stepped inside and drilled a low shot that for once had Fielding beaten but clipped the keeper's right-hand post on its way wide.
Huddersfield's commitment to playing out from the back nearly backfired when Steer gave the ball straight to Freeman 35 yards from goal, the midfielder rushed the chance and sent his first-time lob sailing over the top.
Just when it looked like the hosts might have run out of ideas,
chanced his arm from distance to score with a bolt from the blue, before Fielding made a priceless stop from another replacement, Kyle Dempsey, as Town's late pursuit of a share of the spoils proved in vain.

Civil Dispute Applications - Guide to Applicants
The ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008 (the ACAT Act) gives power to ACAT to hear and determine civil disputes for $25,000 or less. Before February 2009 civil disputes for $10,000 or less were heard by the Small Claims Court or Magistrates Court. Sections 15 to 22 of the ACAT Act are the relevant sections.
From 15 December 2016, the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal will have increased jurisdiction to hear civil disputes, for claims of $25,000 or less.
The procedure for civil dispute applications is contained in the ACAT Act and the ACT Civil & Administrative Tribunal Directions 2010. The Directions are available at www.acat.act.gov.au.
Civil disputes $25,000 and under
A civil dispute application cannot be made to ACAT for an amount greater than $25,000, unless section 20 of the ACAT Act (Abandoning excess to come within jurisdiction) or section 21 (Jurisdiction by agreement – amounts over $25,000) allows the application to be made.
Abandoning excess to come within jurisdiction (ACAT Act, section 20)
A person may make a civil dispute application to the ACAT by limiting a claim to $25,000 and abandoning any excess.
Jurisdiction by agreement – amounts over $25,000 (ACAT Act, section 21)
The ACAT may hear civil dispute applications for more than $25,000 if:
- a civil dispute application could be made to ACAT but for the $25,000 limit; and
- the parties agree to the application being decided by the tribunal; and
- ACAT is satisfied that the parties understand that the amount of the claim in excess of $25,000 is not being abandoned.
Material cause of action to arise in the ACT
Either the respondent must be resident in the A.C.T. or a material part of the cause of action must have arisen in the A.C.T. For example:
- if the cause of action arose in the A.C.T. but the respondent is resident interstate, ACAT has jurisdiction
- if the cause of action arose in NSW and the respondent is resident in the A.C.T., ACAT has jurisdiction
- if the respondent is resident in NSW and the cause of action arose in NSW, then ACAT does not have jurisdiction.
Types of Civil Dispute Applications
Applications or Appeals to the ACT Civil & Administrative Tribunal may incur a filing fee. For details of applicable fees please refer to our schedule of fees on the ACAT web site.
There are nine types of civil dispute which may be heard by the ACAT.
Contract application
- An application to determine disputes in relation to contracts
Damages application
- An application to recover damages caused by negligence or tort, except nuisanceor trespass.
Debt application
- An application to recover a debt.
- You can also recover interest owing on the debt.
Goods application
- An application dealing with the provision of goods or services.
- You can make a goods application for the recovery of the value of goods or services, for the recovery of goods, for the provision of services or for damages caused by the detention of goods.
Nuisance application
- An application to deal with interference of use of enjoyment of land.
Example: an overflow from a neighbour's burst sewerage pipe onto your land
- You can apply for particular orders to deal with the interference.
Example: an order requiring the neighbour to repair the burst pipe
- You can also apply for monetary damages.
Example: compensation for the cost of cleaning up the overflow
Trespass application
- An application to deal with an unauthorised entry onto property.
- If a person remains on your land after being told to leave the person is also trespassing.
- You can seek monetary damages and/or an order to stop the trespass.
Example: an order requiring a squatter to leave your land
- Example: compensation for damage caused by the squatter
Debt declaration application
- A 'debt declaration' is an order of the ACAT declaring the amount, or a maximum amount, you owe to someone else.
- It could also be an order of the ACAT declaring you are not indebted to the other person at all.
An application stated to be a Civil Dispute Application in an authorising law
Before Making an Application
Before starting an application you should send the other party a letter of demand saying what the dispute is about, what you want and asking for a response within a certain time to try to resolve the issues. You can state in your letter of demand that if no response is received within a certain period of time an application may be made to the ACAT. A letter of demand provides formal notice to the other party of your intention and an opportunity to try and sort things out. The dispute may be resolved without the need to start proceedings in the ACAT.
Completing Your Civil Dispute Application
There is one application form for a civil dispute.
Please complete all relevant details. If you are filling out the form in your own handwriting we suggested that you use CAPITAL letters to ensure that what you write can be easily read. A description of how to complete the application is set out below.
It is the Applicant's responsibility to pursue a matter. ACAT only issues documents in response to, or on the application of, a party to proceedings.
Applicant's details, applicant's representatives details (if any) and respondent's details
On the first page of the application form you need to complete the details of the parties to the application. The Applicant is the person who is making the application; the Respondent is the party that the proceedings are against.
It is extremely important that these details are correct and that each party is described properly. Throughout the course of proceedings the parties will be referred to as they are shown on the front page of the application form. If the details are incorrect (for instance if you do not describe the respondent properly) or do not provide an address for finding the respondent, delays may result. Any order made against a party that is not properly described may be difficult to enforce.
Applicant's Details
- If the applicant is an individual, details of the person's full name and address must be completed in the appropriate space.
- If the applicant is an individual trading as a business name, the full details of all proprietors and the full business name must be given eg. John Smith & Mary Smith trading as ABC.

Where the Applicant is a Corporation, the application is to be signed by an individual appointed as a representative by a sworn affidavit with supporting documentation. An example affidavit is available from the ACAT website or ACAT registry.
If you are not represented by a legal practitioner, another person can sign the application on your behalf only when you have authorised that person to do so by Power of Attorney. See notes in previous paragraph "Representation by Another Person - Power of Attorney"
To ensure that ACAT can process your application promptly the capacity of the person signing the document must be indicated where the Applicant is not an individual. For example:
Mr John Smith
Legal Practitioner for the Applicant
Mr John Smith
Business Proprietor/Partner
Mr John Smith
Mr John Smith
for the Applicant authorised
by Power of Attorney dated / /
Registration No. .......... of 201x
If the identity of the person signing an application on the Applicant's behalf is unclear the document may be rejected and returned for clarification. This may result in delays.
Type of application
Please indicate the type of application you are making. You should outline what you are claiming from the Respondent, including details of the amount of money you are claiming.
Debt Declaration
A Debt Declaration application cannot be lodged, unless the respondent has served you with a letter of demand. A copy of the letter of demand must be attached to the Debt Declaration application.
Debt Application
Some examples of a debt application are as follows:
For goods sold:
For goods sold and delivered by the Applicant to the Respondent as per invoice/statement/account number dated / / .
For work and labour:
For work and labour performed [and materials supplied] by the claimant for the defendant as per invoice/statement/account number dated / / .

All Civil Dispute Applications
All applications must show the following:
- the date the dispute arose, a brief description of what happened. In the case of motor vehicle accident claims, the date and place of the accident, the motor vehicle registration number, etc, must be included;
- details of any amount claimed;
- the fee for commencing proceedings;
- the amount of any search or hearing fees
- details of interest claimed and whether it is claimed because of a contractual agreement to pay interest or claimed under the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Directions 2009, direction 67 (Court Procedures Rules 2006 rule 3740). A statement outlining how the interest has been calculated is to be shown.
Completing the 'STATEMENT OF INTEREST CLAIMED' form
Interest can be claimed from the date the cause of action arose, up until the date of an order in proceedings if there is an agreement to pay interest between the parties or alternatively under the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Directions 2010 (No 1), Direction 31 (formally the Court Procedures Rules 2006, rule 3740).
Lodging the Application - COPIES OF FORMS
When you lodge a civil dispute application with ACAT the following documents are required:
One original set of documents for ACAT and copies for each party to the application plus a copy that will be returned to you. The document set should include:
- Civil Dispute Application form outlining cause of action (use the form from the website applicable to your dispute)
- 'Statement of Interest Claimed' form (if applicable)
- 'Statement of Charges and Out-of-pocket expenses' form (if applicable)
ACAT Officers will check the documents to make sure they are complete and they comply with procedural requirements.
Once the documents are lodged and the prescribed fee is paid the ACAT will allocate a case number to the application. A Deputy Registrar will issue the documents by signing and sealing all copies.
Application Fees
The correct lodgement fee must be inlucded with your application. More information is available from the ACAT Schedule of Fees.
Service of the Originating Application
A civil dispute application may be served by one of the following ways:
- ACAT can serve your application by pre-paid post; or
- you may serve your application personally on the Respondent.
If you only know the work address for the Respondent it will be necessary you to serve the Civil Dispute Application on the Respondent personally. You should therefore make an attempt to find a suitable address for service.
Postal Service
ACAT will, by default, send the application to the Respondent by prepaid post, unless you indicate that you want to serve the application by another approved method. Please refer to section 33 of the ACAT Directions.
Personal Service
A civil dispute application may be served by personal service if you think the claim might not reach the Respondent by mail. When ACAT issues the application the following copies will be returned to you:
- one copy for your own records
- a copy to serve on the respondent
- a copy which is required to be returned to the ACAT, once service is effected on the respondent, with a Affidavit of Service completed (see below).
The civil dispute application may be left with someone at the Respondent's place of residence or business as long as the person is apparently over the age of 16 years of age (try to get the person's name if you leave the documentation with someone other than the Respondent).
When personal service of the civil dispute application has been made the person who served the documents must complete an Affidavit of Service and have it sworn by a Justice of the Peace within 72 hours. Justices of the Peace are available at the ACAT registry.
The completed Affidavit of Service must be filed with ACAT.
For Personal Service on a Company - The civil dispute application may be left at the Registered Office address or served upon a director.
For Civil Dispute Applications served interstate (including Queanbeyan), Form 4 under the Service and Execution of Process Act 1992 (SEPA) must also be served with the Civil Dispute Application. This form is available from the ACAT Registry.
Procedures Following the Issue of a Civil Dispute Application
A 'Response' form will be sent to the respondent with a copy of the civil dispute application by ACAT staff. The response is to be completed by the respondent to indicate either that the application is disputed or that liability is admitted.
Time Limit for Responding
If the application has been served personally on the Respondent, the Respondent has 21 days to file the response with ACAT.
If ACAT has served an application on the Respondent by post, an additional 4 days is added to the time limit requiring a response
personal service
- 21 days to respond
postal A.C.T
- 25 days to respond
postal interstate
- 25 days to respond
A Response could be made by either of the following methods:
- by lodging a Response which will indicate whether the civil dispute application is disputed in its entirety or whether there is admission of liability in whole or in part.
- alternatively, payment in full of the amount can be made directly to the Applicant. ACAT should be given notice of the payment.
Please note that ACAT will accept a Response outside the time limits specified above if the Applicant has not filed an Application for Default Judgment.
The Respondent may contact the Applicant direct to attempt to reach an agreement or the amount claimed. If the parties reach an agreement, the ACAT must be notified in writing of the terms of that agreement. This may be done in two ways:
- By letter or email from both parties; or
- By completing the 'Application for Interim or Other Orders' Form (available from the ACAT website and ACAT registry)
Where the Applicant advises ACAT in writing that an agreement has been reached, ACAT will make a note of the outcome. If the other party defaults on the terms of the agreement, the Applicant will need to apply for Default Judgment in relation to any amount outstanding or for orders in respect of the civil dispute application.
Where both parties reach an agreement, the terms of the agreement can be formally entered into ACAT records by filing an Application for Interim or Other Orders. Where that is done ACAT will enter a Consent Judgment or consent order in the terms of the Application. A Consent Judgment and Order is an enforceable order of the ACAT. If the terms of the Consent Judgment or Order are not complied the Applicant may take enforcement action on any amount that remains outstanding.
If a Consent Judgment or Order has not been entered by ACAT, enforcement action cannot be taken by the Applicant against the Respondent until a Default Judgment application is filed and ACAT has entered final judgment.
A. Procedure where Response not filed or Payment/Arrangement not made (Default Judgment)
If a Response has not been filed, or a payment/arrangement has not been made, the applicant may apply for Default Judgment by filing the 'Application for Default Judgment' form. Fresh Statement of Out-of-Pocket Expenses to the Application for Default Judgment, together with original copies of the receipts for the payment of those expenses must be attached.
There are three parts to an 'Application for Default Judgment' form
- for a specified amount stated in the claim;
- for debt declaration matters; and
- for amount not stated in claim – damages to be assessed
A specified amount is referred to as a 'liquidated debt', for example a straight forward debt which is easy to calculate.
An unspecified amount is referred to as an 'unliquidated' amount, for example in a Damages Application where the amount of damages relates to the cost of repairs to a motor vehicle as a result of an accident. The amount of the damage to the motor vehicle needs to be assessed by ACAT.
When the application for Default Judgment is filed a Deputy Registrar will check for completeness. If everything is in order ACAT will enter a judgment for the applicant against the respondent.
Types of Judgment entered by Default
Two types of judgment can be entered by Default depending on the type of matter outlined in the civil dispute application:
- Default Judgment: For a liquidated or specified amount and Debt Declaration proceedings; and
- Interim order: For an unliquidated amount or unspecified amount. An Interim Order is also applied for where the type of matter requires orders to be made by the ACAT.
Procedure on the entry of a Default Judgment
A copy of the judgment entered by the ACAT will be forwarded to the applicant. It should be kept.
By Section 71 of the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008 a money order or non-money order made by ACAT is taken to have been filed in the Magistrates Court for enforcement on the day the order is made. Enforcement action must be taken in the Magistrates Court not ACAT. Information about enforcement may be obtained from the Magistrates Court Registry on (02) 6207 1709.
Procedure on the entry of an Interim Order
A copy of the Interim Order entered by the ACAT will be forwarded to the applicant. It should be kept.
The application will be listed for hearing before a Registrar or a Member for the purpose of assessment. Both parties will be advised in writing of the date and time scheduled for the assessment. The Notice of Hearing for the assessment, will in most cases, be attached to the Interim Order. You must appear on the date specified in the notice. If the Applicant does not appear on the date and time specified, the application may be dismissed.
Procedure on date set for Assessment
An assessment is required in cases where ACAT needs further information about the particulars and the amount claimed in the application. Documents to support the amount claimed need to be provided to the Registrar or Member who conducts the assessment.
Where you are claiming for the cost of repairs as a result of damage you should obtain two quotations from separate organisations so that ACAT can be satisfied that the amount claimed is fair and reasonable. This may apply to roof repairs, damage to house interior or rectification of work previously done.
Motor Vehicle Repairs
Where the application relates to repairs to a motor vehicle as a result of an accident you should obtain two quotations from separate automotive organisations so that ACAT can be satisfied that the amount claimed is fair and reasonable.
If your vehicle is a total loss and a repairer assesses that the cost of repairs will exceed the market value of the vehicle, you should provide ACAT with a Loss Assessor's report. The report will need to detail the following:
- The qualifications of the Loss Assessor.
- The type, age and registration number of the motor vehicle
- An assessment that the damage to the vehicle is as a result of the accident
- A statement that the cost of repairs exceeds the market value of the vehicle
- A statement that indicates the amount of the market value given the vehicle's age and condition and how that figure is calculated.
- A statement that indicates the amount that may be realised for salvage.
On the date of the Assessment, the Registrar or Member will consider the documentation provided by the Applicant and make a final judgement or order. Information about enforcement of orders may be obtained from the Magistrates Court.
If the documents at the time of the assessment are incomplete or inadequate ACAT will adjourn the matter to another date.
Judgment/Order made in the absence of a party to proceedings
The ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Directions 2010 (No1) state that where a party to proceedings in the ACAT is absent when an order or judgment is made (an ex-parte order), that party must be sent a copy of the order/judgment and receive advice of the options available to them. This occurs regardless of whether the absent party is the Applicant or the Respondent. The party who was absent at the time of the making of an order or judgment against them, may apply to ACAT to have the order or judgment cancelled (set aside).
For example, if the Applicant does not appear before the ACAT on the date and time specified for an Assessment, the Registrar may make an order that their application be dismissed. To have the proceedings restored the Applicant must file an 'Application for Interim or Other Orders' form asking for their application to be restored.
Similarly a respondent may make an application to ACAT to set aside a default judgment. Where an order is set aside the application will be given a date for a conference.
You should note that it is not a given that a default judgement will be set aside. It is a matter for decision by ACAT based on the reasons why the judgement was entered in the first places, and upon what circumstances.
How long is a Judgment valid for?
A final judgment of the ACAT may be enforced for:
- 6 years from the date of judgment or
- More than 6 years from the date of judgment, subject to the Magistrate Court's leave.
B. Procedure where Response Filed
If the respondent files a response the applicant will be sent a copy of the Response Form together with the 'Admission of Acceptance of Liability' form (if applicable).
The Response may indicate one of the following:
- that the Respondent admits liability in whole and makes a proposal as to how an amount owed is to be paid.
- that the Respondent admits liability in part but also contests part of the application. The Respondent may indicate a proposal as to how the amount admitted to is to be paid and make payments direct to the applicant.
- that the Respondent contests the application in full and provides details of the dispute. A Respondent may also lodge a counter claim.
In a counter claim the respondent says that he/she/it has a claim against the applicant. A counter claim must include details of the respondent's claim.
The applicant is entitled to respond to the counter claim in writing and dispute any of the matters set out in the respondent's counter claim.
The counter claim is the respondent's action against the applicant. Therefore, in one case before the ACAT there may be an action by the applicant against the respondent and an action by the respondent against the applicant.
Admission of Liability in Whole or in Part
Where the Respondent does (a) or (b) above, the ACAT will send the applicant copies of any documents lodged by the respondent together with an 'Acceptance of Admission of Liability' form. The applicant must make a decision as to whether to accept or not accept the amount and the terms submitted by the respondent in partial or in full satisfaction of their application. The applicant must complete and file with ACAT the 'Acceptance of Admission of Liability' form indicating in the space provided acceptance or non-acceptance. The time limit for filing the form is 21 days.
When a completed 'Acceptance of Admission of Liability' form is reviewed ACAT follows certain procedures. You should discuss what happens in these circumstances with an ACAT officer.
If the applicant does not accept the amount in full satisfaction of the application and/or the respondent files a response (as in (c) above), the Registrar will hold of a Preliminary Conference between the parties to consider the matters in dispute.
The ACAT will usually list a case for a conference. You should attend the tribunal on the date notified. You can bring a representative or friend if you like. The aim of the conference is to try and resolve the matter by consent without the need to proceed to a hearing.
You should attend the conference with knowledge of your matter, and with a view to resolving the dispute at the conference.
If the parties cannot come to an agreement, directions for hearing (ie, things the parties will need to do to prepare for the hearing) will be made, and the matter listed for a hearing.
When a date for a hearing is fixed written confirmation of the place, time and date of the hearing will be sent to you. At the hearing you will be given the opportunity to call any witnesses on whose evidence you wish to rely and to present any documents that are relevant to your case.
You will be given the opportunity to ask question of any witness called by the other party and to make a submission to the tribunal. If you wish you may also be represented at the hearing by a lawyer.
Ordinarily it is necessary for all parties to attend the hearing on the day but if you or your witness are unable to attend a provision can be made for a person to participate or give evidence by telephone. If you do have difficulty attending the ACAT registry must be advised at least two weeks before the hearing.
Hearings are ordinarily conducted in public and will be recorded. If any party required a record of the proceedings details of the cost and arrangements for purchase of the transcript or recording can be made through the registry.
Applicant – the person making a Civil Dispute Application.
Respondent – the person against whom a Civil Dispute Application is made.

Staff numbers up at five government departments, IfG analysis finds
Think tank says civil service cuts may be tailing off ahead of Brexit talks
Five government departments, including HM Revenue & Customs and the Cabinet Office, saw an increase in staff numbers in the last three months of 2016, according to an analysis by the Institute for Government.
In a review of the figures published on 15 March by the Office for National Statistics, the think tank highlighted that although the civil service is 19% smaller than in 2010, the pace of cuts may be tailing off as Whitehall prepares for Brexit negotiations. The headcount across the whole of government has been effectively unchanged for last nine months.
Civil service remains at smallest size on record
David Davis: Old hands believe civil service can manage Brexit
The civil service's big recruitment shake-up is welcome — but we need to be building leaders
Within Whitehall, IfG researcher Alice Lilly highlighted that five departments had seen an increase in numbers over the three-month period, while nine had seen a drop in employment levels.
The departments with an increase in headcount were the Cabinet Office, the Department for Education, HMRC, the Department for International Development and the Department for Transport.
The largest percentage increase was an 8.5% hike at the Cabinet Office, although this was explained by its numbers including new starters at the Department for Exiting the European Union under the ONS's methodology for the quarter,
HMRC, which is the second largest department in Whitehall behind the Department for Work and Pensions according to the IfG analysis, saw an increase in staff numbers of 1,490, 2.5% more.
This may be due to the department preparing for the additional workload caused by Brexit, Lilly indicated.
The inclusion of former Concentrix staff, brought in-house at HMRC following the termination of the ill-fated outsourced Tax Credits checking contract, is likely to have made a substantial contribution to the tax-collection agency's increased headcount.
However other departments likely to be heavily affected by leaving the EU continued to see decreases in their workforces. For example, the Home Office and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs both saw reductions in numbers.
"Many of Defra's responsibilities fall under EU law, meaning that its work will be especially impacted by Brexit – but the department is 34% smaller than in 2010," Lilly noted. "This is a fall second only to that of DCLG, which is now 44% smaller than 2010, having shed more than 1,000 (full time equivalent) staff."

Brandon Marshall scores record 4 TDs! named Pro Bowl MVP!
@SportsBata ..nuff said
#Hawaii #AlohaStadium Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall went off in the Pro Bowl, last night, for a record four TD's! Marshall was named the Pro Bowl MVP, and ended up with six catches for 176 yards, and four TDs! The AFC beat the NFC for the first time in a couple years with a Pro Bowl record 59 points, 59-41! Marshall caught a 74-yard TD pass, and later made a 47-yard TD circus catch off his foot over two defenders (2:05 minute mark)! Marshall also showed how to use every inch of the endzone on his fourth and final grab (2:30 minute mark) towards the end of the fourth quarter! NFL cheerleaders came from all over the US, and showed their stuff, Aloha, for Hawaii at Aloha Stadium. Check out the highlight video below!

To the football world, that is 22 personnel and it worked beautifully against the Rams. In addition to the play of the line, give tight ends Jason Witten, John Phillips and Martellus Bennett and fullback Tony Fiammetta credit for helping DeMarco Murray to his big day.

The definition of long term care (LTC) has been expanding to address the needs of the elderly and the future needs of the baby-boomer generation. Nursing homes (SNF), adult day care services, assisted living, Intermediate Care facilities, Home care, and Custodial care are a few examples of the types of care for the elderly. In a HCM Capstone course, student Amber Ehnstrom researched the different types of services, the costs, and how some of the programs can be paid for, including Medicaid and Medicare.
