An incredible few days away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Sue and John were very hospitable whilst allowing for maximum privacy in the cabin. The cabin itself is stunning, well built and includes all the amenities you could think of during your stay. That amazing view somehow improves throughout the say often ending with an orange sunset as you sit by the fire and enjoy a glass of champagne. The pictures don't capture the true tranquility of the location, it's hard to believe this is less than an hour from the CBD. It is an excellent spot for a romantic weekend, a mid-week break or even a week long cognitive retreat. The fresh fruit, homemade preserves and freshly baked bread were delicious. There are numerous bush walks in the area - and a ferry arrives at the wharf every day if you choose to explore more of Pittwater. We enjoyed swimming off the dock and in the turquoise mangrove waters after a short bushwalk. If you're thinking about booking with Sue and John just do it, you won't regret it!Adam2016-11-05T00:00:00Z
这家浪漫的私人小屋就像一本电影。它的画面完美的位置,时尚的内饰,使我们的周末度假比我们所能想象的精彩主机。从我们赶到渡口的那一刻,苏珊在那里迎接我们,并告诉我们一切,我们需要了解的舱和包围。自然光线填充,船舱看起来像一本杂志特色。软床俯瞰什么只能被描述为,你会发现苏格兰岛最好的意见之一。 机舱内有所有其中2需要;用水壶,砧板,餐具和碗碟的小厨房。有一个烧烤外完美烹饪任何肉类,以及两个电子炉板。我们发现当地的风景迷人。游泳和太阳烘烤的私人码头是一个真正的亮点,但当地的丛林散步也持一种自然的魅力。而我们的审查将是不完整不提精彩的野生动物! 随着主机,苏珊和约翰简直完美。细心,体贴,周到,友好,最重要的是兴趣去了解那些谁前来分享他们的天堂片。我的伙伴,我不能一直快乐住在这里,而且一定会再来。Alice2017-01-15T00:00:00Z
蘇珊和約翰是偉大的主機,樂於助人,熱情。熱情的服務。蘇珊不僅提供了波光粼粼的到來,但早餐食品可愛的收集和調味品的數組所以沒有必要收拾廚房的水槽! 住宿很舒服,它具有一水之隔和一個綠葉前景廣闊景緻。木材甲板的慷慨私人領域,芳草如茵的草坪和石板鋪就的露台。一切都如在審查描述。完美的週末客場和強烈推薦。Candice2016-10-29T00:00:00Z
It was a great pleasure meeting both Susan and John. We had such good time during our seven-night stay. Interacting with the ubiquitous wildlife was such a treat! In the cabin, there is a copy A Life on Pittwater which served us well. Summing up our trip in one word is simply, tranquility. We are already planning our next opportunity to unwind on the bay. Warmest regards and thanks again to our thoughtful hosts. P.S. Susan's fruit preserves are delicious!Tom2017-01-06T00:00:00Z
This place is beautiful! I could go back every weekend! So peaceful, no sound but the birds, the wind, the waves lapping the shore and the occasional boat. Wallabies and lorikeets came visit us several times a day. And the view from the cabin is amazing too, just like in the photos. We spent hours just gazing out the porch, napping and swimming off the jetty. Susan and John were very welcoming and made our stay even better. The goodies in the fridge were a real treat too!Joana2016-12-25T00:00:00Z
Where to start? This place is a fantasy. A boat ride across the bay and you find yourself tucked away in a little slice of heaven. Picture postcard views across Pittwater and a back garden that may as well be a nature reserve. Susan and her husband were wonderful hosts. The fridge had all the essentials, plus some luxuries, and we were offered a loaf of (delicious) home baked bread at the start of our stay. They were also on hand to help us with anything we needed. The only neighbours who came to bother us were the wallabies and lorrikeets who stopped by, which was lovely. You csn feed tgem right out of your hand. A bargain at twice the price, and we'd love to come again.Alex2016-12-23T00:00:00Z

great spot - better than we expected - super charming - great location - magical - Fiona was a gracious host...thank youBJ2014-11-28T00:00:00Z
Beautiful spot, would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing getaway. Fiona was a great host, very responsive and provided some good local spots to check out.angus2016-03-08T00:00:00Z
We absolutely loved the our stay in the cottage. The location was stunning, and we felt a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. The cottage itself was very cosy, and being able to light the fire at night was so fantastic. The bathroom was teeny tiny, but functional. We had incredible weather, so we were able to enjoy being out on the jetty and relaxing in the bean bags. I would go back in a heartbeat!Andrea2016-05-09T00:00:00Z
山寨本的位置是一流的,我们很幸运的天气。从山寨机的看法是值得爬上楼梯灌木。该设施是足够的,不要指望褶边和furbelows - 你需要将一切。强烈建议将香茅蜡烛和/或mozzie蜡烛。我5'9",和我的伙伴是6'2",我们发现双大床有点太一个真正舒适的睡眠小。醒来的鸟儿的鸣唱和远处的嗡嗡声横跨海湾船马达嗡嗡的太阳透过树木上升偷看是真正的田园风光。大幅下跌关码头到纯净的水域是紧张而令人耳目一新。我们看到的恒星和卫星,我们依偎在太阳落山后的码头 - 那么幸运与晴朗的天空和天气。这是一个从教堂点一个五分钟的红粉佳人用水乘坐出租车到兰利码头。菲奥娜是一个伟大的主持人,在任何时候都有效的沟通。Olivia2016-04-17T00:00:00Z
Perfect day!Arthur2015-04-25T00:00:00Z
Fiona was extremely easy to deal with, got in contact early and made sure we had everything we needed. It's such a beautiful little cottage, incredibly private as the main house wasn't being used, and it's amazing that it's just 45 mins from the city. A perfect little get away. We'd gladly come again.Elliott & Miriam 2014-12-08T00:00:00Z

Location is absolutely superb. You never tire looking at the view! The house is perfectly set up with absolutely everything you need plus more. Comfortable beds, great thick bath towels, large kitchen & in a lovely area. The perfect place to swim, relax & enjoy.Hel2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
Great house, right on the water with privacy from neighbours. The house is well equiped and lovely to spend time at. We really enjoyed being right on the water, fishing off the wharf, eating at the cottage point kiosk for casual food and the cottage point inn for more upscale. We rented a boat for the three days from the cottage point kiosk which enabled us to explore the area by boatStephen2016-04-18T00:00:00Z

Fabulous absolute waterfront location in stunning Cottage point. Getting there is part of the adventure, navigating the steep terrain to reach the old style cottage. Comfortable and well equipped (except for towels- remember to BYO). Kitchen is fully functional and you will want to stay in and enjoy the view. Bonus having kayaks available to explore the calm waters and peaceful River life.Angelita2016-05-23T00:00:00Z
A beautiful spot to get away from it all. Gorgeous little place, well stocked, and comfortable. Had a great swim off the jetty and loved waking up to the sounds of the water lapping. Thank you for a lovely stay.Denise2017-01-21T00:00:00Z
Very friendly and helpful host . House was well supplied and maintained. Sensationioal views from a beautiful home! Highly recommend . JakeJake2015-06-23T00:00:00Z
This was our second stay at this fantastic property. Stunning location right on the waterfront. The place is so well equipped it felt like our second home. Loved borrowing the kayaks to explore the tranquil national park surrounds.Angelita2016-11-12T00:00:00Z
Had an absolutely marvellous stay at Homelea! The standup paddleboards and kayaks were fantastic. The location is two doors down from Cottage Point Inn and the Kiosk. Would highly recommend Homelea to anyone and I look forward to staying there again!Rachael2016-08-28T00:00:00Z
Our long weekend at Homelea was the perfect getaway and a tincture for all the stresses of Sydney. The accommodation is well resourced and perfectly positioned. There is opportunity to do lots, or (as we preferred!) lots of nothing. Very comfortable whether inside at night, indulging the sunset on the verandah or a morning kayak. Clean but not clinical, welcoming and very hard to leave. Thank you very much for allowing is to share this beautiful part of the world!Jason2015-10-06T00:00:00Z
A jewel in Ku-ring-gai! Only 45 minutes from the CBD, Homelea is a must for anyone looking to getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. When we arrived I was absolutely mesmerised by the view and birdsong. Such a calming place with plenty to do! Thank you Homelea for a wonderful stay!Rachel2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

Ahhh where to start. Upon entering the house we were taken by the stunning vista, what a magnificent spot! I could feel my stress levels reducing sitting on the pool deck looking over the tranquil Cottage Point and the moored boats in the bay. The house is a work of art having been featured on "Grand Designs". To say it is spacious is an understatement. Whilst only my wife and I stayed for a short break, it could easily accomodate a large family providing the kids with the downstairs floor equiped with their own lounge room and bathrooms. A kayak (there are several provided),around the secluded bays before breakfast was the perfect way to start the day, followed by a spot of fishing from the wharf and lazing around the infinity pool gazing across the bay. Catherine was very friendly and accomodating when it came to arranging pick up and drop off of the keys. We didn't want to leave and can't wait till our next stay.Phil2017-01-06T00:00:00Z
We had a great experience and few days spent at Myoora in Cottage Point. Catherine is lovely and very accomodating. The house is beautiful with a great view and amenities.Hannah2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

We came to Cottage Point for my Dad's 60th birthday with 2 families. Fiona's house is beautiful, and the setting next to the water is breathtaking. It's an extremely peaceful part of the world and an easy drive from Sydney. Fiona is a great host and was easy to communicate with. I would recommend the house to anyone.Ant2015-08-24T00:00:00Z
Great property right on the water. A perfect escape, you won't want to be anywhere else. Great for a large group, we all really enjoyed ourselves, sitting out on the balconies. The provision of a small boat was such a great addition which we made use of to travel across the water to the local cafe/ shop. So close to Sydney it is amazing to find such a tranquil and secluded area, you feel you are very far out of Sydney. Marlon was great to deal with. He responded promptly to all our questions and was friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend to groups looking for a quiet, relaxing weekend. Tomas.Tomas2013-06-17T00:00:00Z
We spent a really nice weekend in this beautiful house. Really relaxing to be in this national park! The view from this house is just amasing… Thanks MarlonAlex & Dina2013-07-15T00:00:00Z
Amazing view and excellent living area for a group. We enjoyed our stay. Fiona was great to deal with as well.Julz2015-12-29T00:00:00Z
Wonderful home. Wonderful host. We were a mixed group of friends who were seeking a relaxing weekend out of the city and we all had a superb time. Could not recommend more highly.Piers2015-10-06T00:00:00Z
Fiona was fantastic to deal with, very responsive, great arrival instructions, she was very flexible with check in and out times. The house is in a stunning location with a gorgeous view, directly on the water, short walk to the Inn and Kiosk, we couldn't have asked for better. Fishing was made easy and the balcony was used a lot, worked very well for a cooler weather getaway. The drive way is pretty steep and exiting up the hill can be tricky, caution of spinning wheels. We enjoyed the inclinator especially with kids, it did get jammed due to brush turkeys passing twigs over the cables. Fiona was quick to respond and one of her neighbours helped fix within the hour. The dingy's engine was not functional and therefore we were not able to use it during our stay which was disappointing. There were a few cleanliness disappointments such as very dusty rooms and some rubbish/clutter left behind in the rooms particularly, cupboards. This is the lowest standard we've experienced for cleanliness with holiday rentals especially when a $200 cleaning fee was charged. Our overall experience was pleasant. We're delighted to have discovered Cottage Point as a getaway destination.Ingrid2016-05-23T00:00:00Z
The house was amazing. Once you took the inclinator down and saw the magic of cottage point, it opened up to the serenity.Veronica2016-01-25T00:00:00Z
Lovely place to stay, awesome views and plenty of space in the house. Little bit of a mission to get down to the house because of where it is situated but the inclinator makes it easy enough and adds to the charm. Loved being able to fish off the door step. The only issue we had was the WI-FI signal, although it showed being strong, it was difficult to get signal during the day. Phone signal is also hard to receive from the house itself, but I guess you're not going there to be harassed by phone calls. Overall, all the guests loved the place and I would recommend to anyone.Jason2016-02-01T00:00:00Z

During the enquiry and booking process Jeremy was always quick to respond and accurate with his information. He was very accommodating with our check-in and check-out times, which suited us fine! The home is as described and a beautiful, comfortable place to spend time in. We would have loved to stay longer! Jeremy explained the house and surrounds to us and tried his best to make us comfortable and to ensure that we enjoy our stay. Three of the neighbours also came around when they saw us having a good time in the tranquil garden and also offered help if needed. A very friendly area indeed! We took our own boat, so it was great to have the jetty at the end of the lawn and to discover the waterways, cafes, etc. It is a great spot to go walking and enjoying the neighbourhood. I would suggest though that you drive and leave the car somewhere, as the walk from the house to the closest cafe and flat, easy walking area is not easy; as the road is narrow and winding and there is no pedestrian walk way. The wifi was good and fast. The entertainment room downstairs looked comfortable with the big tv and netflix, but we just did not have the time to enjoy that too! We loved the comfortable home, the views and the area, and would not mind going back soon.Adri2016-04-26T00:00:00Z
While the pictures are stunning, the views and the calm are even better... Fishing off the jetty or paddling up the creek vied for favourite pastimes, and waking up to see 5 kookaburras sitting on a branch outside the bedroom window was a great way to start the day. A beautiful slice of paradise, with a great cafe at Church Point we only discovered on our last night. The house, of course, has everything you could want, and despite 6 of us staying we each had our own space whenever we needed it!R2016-04-01T00:00:00Z
The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.Jessica2017-04-11T00:00:00Z
This is really a wonderful house in a secluded quiet location with National Park and creeks and waterways right on the doorstep. The design decor and amenities in the house are all top notch. There is a fabulous kitchen and living area and Foxtel and Netflix. The only minor point to be aware of is that the Telstra mobile coverage is weak/absent which is an issue if you need to make calls or phone messages.Andrew2017-02-10T00:00:00Z
The house was nice and beautiful and clean. It had fantastic View of the water front . Was very family friendly the kids loved it .Alan2016-06-14T00:00:00Z
This is the perfect place for a weekend escape that money cannot buy. The waterfront view, sandstone stylish decoration, full entertaining equipment and more importantly, the host Jeremy all together are providing a flawless treatment for family with kids. We will come back for another weekend as we could not have enough of Kayaking due to weather. Thank you so much Jeremy!Morgan2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
Jeremy and his family were amazing hosts! The communication prior to our stay was excellent. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and they took the time to explain the various features of the property. Their casual & easy-going nature made us feel comfortable in their house straight away. We had no issues during our stay - the property itself is stunning! Highly recommended. We will be telling all our friends about this place.Scott2016-01-11T00:00:00Z
Jeremy was very helpful and accommodating. Very flexible with check in / check out time, offering us a late check out with no extra cost. The location is perfect and the house is very nice. Perfect place to stay.Jack2016-02-29T00:00:00Z

Perfect for a get away from the hustle and bustle of Sydney life. So close yet feels so far away, John and Rowena are the perfect air bnb hosts welcoming, helpful and a joy to share a conversation with. Kayaking, walking, stunning views, peace and tranquility everything you could ask for a easy get away. Thanks so much for your hospitality and breakfast was sensational. Anna and JezzaAnna2017-04-02T00:00:00Z
Couldn't imagine a more enjoyable place and family to stay with. Starting with the location which is right next to a beautiful bay that you can only reach with a boat, surrounded with huge eucalyptus trees. Behind it stretches the national park Ku Ring Gai which is perfect for hikes and has amazing vistas to view the whole bay. During the time I had a chance to sail and kayak and eat delicious home made food. Thank you again for the wonderful stay and for being extremely friendly and helpful.Vedran2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
Rowena and John are exemplary hosts. Their home is very special, situated on the shore of Morning Bay and on the edge of the National Park, with access only by boat. You are surrounded by wildlife from Soldier Crabs and fish to Wallabies, Lyre Birds and Kookaburras. Swimming, Kayaking and walking to beautiful lookout points in the National Park are all excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed Rowena's cooking and have a recipe to take home.Catherine2017-02-14T00:00:00Z
What an awesome piece of paradise! Great views, great company, and great lifestyle. For a magical time away from the bustling city, this little gem is the ultimate destination for relaxation and rejuvenation.Joe2017-03-26T00:00:00Z
Rowena's place provided us with exactly what we were after which was a private space in the beautiful natural environment of Pittwater on the water. The access is by water only which appealed to us immensely. Their son Xavier was exactly on time to collect us from the Taylors Point wharf at Clareville. The trip across the water only took about 10 minutes and the suggestion by Rowena of bringing a spray jacket proved 100% as it was a very strong wind and choppy sea - exhilarating! Everything was very thoughtfully done to ensure our comfort and great experience. The bushland setting of their house provided us with some great walks up to a magnificent lookout and along to the cute Morning Bay ferry wharf with beach. We loved having dinner with Rowena and husband John on the deck and this optional extra at a very reasonable price is highly recommended. Breakfast which is included was also delicious. The cottage is very cosy and everything is provided including tea and coffee making and fruit and even a box marked 'emergency supplies' if you have forgotten toothpaste. Being on our own ensured privacy but the main house is very close and Rowena has the perfect mix of attending to your needs but giving you maximum privacy and not being in your face. In summary we had the experience of waterfront living in a beautiful protected bay of Pittwater at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.Lou2016-11-05T00:00:00Z
The guest was made to feel very welcome by John and Rowena, who were very friendly hosts, right down to the wonderful full English breakfast. Thank you. A memorable stay in a very beautiful bush setting in PittwaterNicole2016-10-08T00:00:00Z
Rowena and Jonny were so friendly and easy-going. It was fun being picked up in a boat to travel to their home in Morning Bay. Great location, we did a hike with a beautiful view and went kayaking. The home cooked dinner and breakfast with a view was fantastic. We hope to come back again! Thank you.Lauren2016-10-22T00:00:00Z
From the moment we saw this airbnb we knew it was going to be special! It was the perfect escape for a couple wanting to relax and switch off away from the city. The cabin is surrounded by nature, water, stunning views and complete stillness, we couldn't have asked for a better getaway. Rowena and husband John were amazing hosts and Rowena is an incredible cook. They thought of everything from snacks on arrival to full 3 course dinner, marshmallows by the fire and breakfast the next day. They were perfectly involved enough to help and advise us but kept a good distance for maximum privacy. The cabin was very cute and is located behind the house which overlooks the water. Very comfortable beds and actually the best night sleep we've had in a while! Rowena had printed us out a map for us to hike to the top of the hill behind the house with beautiful views over the city. They were also kind enough to loan us their kayaks which were great fun paddling across to the small sandy beaches close by. For such a secluded spot there was plenty to do. The cafe at Church Point is also very cute and a great spot to stop on the way back. It was such a great experience from the location to the people, we highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a relaxing weekend around nature. They are such a welcoming family and we would definitely go back if they aren't booked out. This is airbnb's best kept secret! Thanks so much Rowena and John.aisling2016-10-01T00:00:00Z

The property was perfect for our stay -- just a five minute drive to the Great North Walk from Cowan to Brooklyn. Very quiet and peaceful atmosphere with lots of stars in the sky. Absolutely unbeatable value. Judi supplied a lovely breakfast assortment and even dropped by with fresh muffins for us. She was very friendly and easy to communicate with in the lead up to the trip. The place was definitely spacious enough for the three of us. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a nice breakfast, and the bathroom was spacious too. We didn't find the mattresses to be very comfortable, but that's the only thing we would change. Thanks for a great stay -- hope we'll be back for a longer trip!Katie2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

We had an overnight stop at Leah's place. Leah is very friendly host and greeted us personally at the door. Her house is really beautiful and very clean. Wonderful view from the window. We did enjoy the stay and would have stayed longer, if we had more time. Thanks.Fabian2016-04-01T00:00:00Z
Kookaburra Retreat is a great place to relax. It's very quiet, tidy and spacious. Leah and Paul have been very flexible and let us stay a little bit longer to enjoy a late Sunday breaky.Nic2016-10-22T00:00:00Z
Beautifully appointed accommodation, very comfortable for two couples. Quiet with lovely bush views, nice to wake up to the kookaburras each morning. Good location, whether visiting family or heading to bobbin head or berowra waters. Local shops nearby (Coles) so you have access to everything you need. We had a great stay here!Sandra2016-12-11T00:00:00Z
Leah and Paul's place is extremely clean and tidy. All the furniture seems new and very well decorated internally. Externally the 'retreat' feeling is lacking a bit due to being situated in a suburban area. There is also no air conditioning so some may not like that in the hot summer days.Andrew2016-12-31T00:00:00Z
Leah & Paul's place is a heavenly sanctuary on the outskirts of Sydney. We went to a trail running event at bobbin head & had a great night sleep before & after on our two night stay. It was a perfect home away from home for us. Leah (perhaps & Paul) have decorated the space to make it feel homely but not overdone. Lots of extra touches such as a picnic rug, cushions & picnic basket available for guests to use. Plans of eating out faded due to sheer exhaustion so we opted for takeaway pizza from Joe's on the highway which really hit the spot. Would have been really nice to stay longer. Maybe there will be a next time.Sonya & Graeme2017-04-08T00:00:00Z
We absolutely loved Kookaburra Retreat. It was everything we had hoped for as a comfortable place to come back to after many hours of walking the Great North Walk. I didn't actually meet Leah and Paul during our stay but everything was smooth from booking to check out. The house was very clean, the beds comfortable and the kitchen was also well equipped. I would definitely recommend staying at Kookaburra Retreat, especially if you're looking for a place where you can simply relax.Louisa2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
Leah & Paul have setup a fantastic place to stay, very spacious and comfortable. Great communication and easy arrival. Highly recommended! Love to stay again.Rodney2016-09-20T00:00:00Z
We had a last minute request and thank you for accommodating us so late. The home was big and very comfortable with everything we needed and the view of the national park from the upstairs balcony was beautiful, nothing but valleys and trees. We felt very secluded.Marta2017-01-04T00:00:00Z

EDDs have a crucial role to play in helping students become more employable.
This page outlines the key aspects of the role, gives helpful resources and
lists in one place all the main documents you will need.
The Employability Development Director (EDD) is a senior position on a par
with other departmental director roles. It has three overarching aims:
The EDD provides academic leadership for employability by using your
understanding of the discipline and department to inform developments and
implement initiatives working in partnership with the professional employability
experts from the E&CC. This leadership implies acting as an advocate for
employability with colleagues, and conveying to students the department's
You can read the sort of activities that typically form part of the role in
the University role descriptor in the table below.
As EDD you will work closely with a range of E&CC staff from your Faculty
Employability Team (FET) on Career Development Learning and Work Based / Work
Related Learning, shaping these activities and, depending upon the local
arrangements, also being involved to a varying extent in design and delivery.
For this relationship to work really well as envisaged by the University, it
needs to be based upon a joint partnership.
Your Senior Faculty Employability Manager (SFEM) leads and manages the E&CC
team for your Faculty. They will be the main contact point for you.
As part of the Annual Planning cycle your SFEM (working with other people in
their team) will meet with you and your HoD to review progress over the past
year and plan for the future. These plans will be captured in a set of documents
– the Departmental Employability Action Plan - written by the SFEM containing
what your department and the E&CC have agreed.
As an EDD you are not alone; there is a whole E&CC team supporting you. There
are also many other EDDs across the University. Each year we run three
networking sessions so you can meet and share ideas, concerns and learn from
each other. In addition we hold an annual Employability Conference which is a
great opportunity to find out about the latest developments in employability
nationally and engage in depth with the issues and debates. It is recommended
you make as many of these events as possible.
Your department will also have a Study Abroad Officer (SAO). This is an
academic administrative role similar to being an EDD. SAOs act as the main link
between your department and Essex Abroad which is the team within the E&CC that
leads on student international mobility. The SAO is crucial in supporting
students studying for a degree at Essex in in making good Year Aboard choices.
As an E&CC we are committed to a partnership approach which we have set out
in our Vision Statement.
"Across and beyond the University we will take a partnership approach,
fostering a sense that employability is a responsibility shared with a wide
range of stakeholders, and though we exercise leadership as the Professional
Services leads, it is not our sole preserve. We will be known for a
collaborative and open style, a readiness to experiment and take risks and,
without comprising effectiveness, find pragmatic, differentiated solutions which
both challenge and gel with the local culture."
To help you in your role we have collated the key documents you need in the
table below. Your SFEM will be happy to talk though any aspect of your role and
how we work with departments.

Fantasy Dumpster Diving with PFF QBR
Pat Thorman uses PFF's QBR metric to find potentially useful quarterbacks for deep and 2-QB fantasy leagues.
Fantasy Dumpster Diving with PFF QBR
PFF's Quarterback Rating (PFF QBR) takes into account dropped passes, throw-aways, and spikes. It also factors in the work done by pass catchers once the ball is in their hands. It paints a more isolated picture of quarterback performance than what's offered by traditional NFL Quarterback Rating (QBR). Comparing how passers rank in each metric can jump-start a search for inefficiencies of perception.

Seeing Things
That human beings have seen odd things, since time immemorial, is evidenced by their noting (recording) their observations, sometimes, even providing proof" of their observations by drawing or painting what they saw or think they saw.
There are countless examples in the lore that has accumulated within the "literature" of ufology. (I needn't remind you of that literature, I hope.)
But what about the examples of odd things seen and notated in the psychiatric and psychological literature, and lately in the annals of neurology?
Even the pastiche of journalistic examples is large, although too dispersed to be helpful to those wishing to cite the reportage.
My point is that we have, at our disposal, a quantity of records that indicate a lot of people have seen and reported observations of things that are outside the normal reality.
Skeptics, such as Zoam Chomsky, Gilles Fernandez, Robert Sheaffer, and Tim Printy, scoff at the tales of odd sightings that people have related to others.
And while some of those sightings may well be hallucinatory or neurological glitches, all cannot surely be set aside as malfunctions of sight or brain.
Or tales told by idiots.
As Sean Carroll, a theoretical physicist at Cal Tech, writes in his book The Big Picture [Dutton/Penguin Random House, NY, 2016], " … an eliminativist will say 'and therefore they are illusions,' while the poetic naturalist says, 'but they are no less real for all of that.'" [Page 20]
(I shall have much more to say about physicist Carroll's book upcoming. He differentiates the Big Bang from the Big Bang Model, the former, the Big Bang, an enigma to science, the Model explaining what happened after the Big Bang.)
I looked through Aubeck/Vallee's Wonders in the Sky for sightings similar or like that noted in my January 14th posting about the event reported by Micah Hanks, involving a military man, Steven, who, with others, were encompassed by a huge, black something-or-other that encompassed the island he and others were on, but faded from view when sunrise occurred.
The incident appears to be unique. While here were a few early recorded sightings with similar meteorological attributes, I found none that had the intensity recalled by Steven from his 1988 sighting.
Then there are sightings and weird episodes listed by Albert Rosales in his new 1900-1929 Humanoid Encounters book, many remembered rather than appearing originally in their time-frame.
The Rosales' accounts have to be digested with the memory caveats intrinsic to recalled events, but the tales intrigue, whether bungled or confabulated because of their distance from the time they allegedly occurred to the time of their (re)telling, but not discounted out-of-hand.
(You know I believe that people report what they see rather accurately, even taking into account the vicissitudes of observational malfunction, the core of their observations intact pretty much.)
Odd things occur outside the normal scheme of things – ghosts, obtuse entities, UFOs, et al. – and we have to accept them as actual or part and parcel of what is known as the paranormal environment.
The world is fraught with odd incidents and oblique happenings, observations, and queer events. It always has been, as indicated by religious texts, mythical tales, and recorded history.
People see things….normal people, not just psychotics.
To discount their recollections and reportage is not scientific, or sensible.

Countries in region unable to handle flow, exerting more control of borders. Religious minorities at risk; Children disproportionately impacted. Syrians fleeing to Europe and beyond
WASHINGTON - March 6, 2015 -The Syrian refugee crisis ��now totaling nearly 4 million refugees� has reached a �tipping point,� in which countries in the region are no longer able to handle the flow of refugees across their borders, warned U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) officials who recently traveled to the Middle East.
�Without more international support, we will find Syrians fleeing extremists being turned away and forced back to danger,� said Anastasia Brown, interim executive director for USCCB�s Migration and Refugee Services (MRS). �The global community, led by Europe and the United States, needs to increase its support in order to prevent a humanitarian crisis.�
A delegation of USCCB officials which visited the region in late 2014, released their report March 6. Entitled �Refuge and Hope in the Time of ISIS: The Urgent need for Protection, Humanitarian Support, and Durable Solutions in Turkey, Bulgaria, and Greece,� the report looks at the plight of Syrians in the three countries, a growing trek for Syrians attempting to reach Europe.
The report highlights the gaps Syrians face as they attempt to find protection, with many traveling through Greece and Bulgaria on their way to Europe. According to the United Nations, many more are taking dangerous sea journeys in boats to reach the continent. At the same time, countries bordering Syria and Iraq are showing signs of strain and imposing new policies at their borders. In recent months, Jordan has exerted more control over its northern border, denying entry to some refugees from ISIS-controlled areas, while Lebanon has instituted a visa policy for Syrians seeking to enter their country. While Turkey has kept its border open, refugee interviews are being scheduled for 2022. �It was apparent from our trip that the protection space in the region for Syrians is shrinking,� said Matt Wilch, refugee policy advisor for MRS/USCCB. �People are becoming more desperate and are attempting dangerous journeys to Europe and beyond.� Of special note is the impact the crisis is having on children, who number as many as 2 million�half the total of Syrian refugees. Among those are unaccompanied children who, according to the delegation, have a special claim on protection. �The number of unaccompanied children and other vulnerable children from Syria and elsewhere is rising, yet there are few protection mechanisms in place to identify and rescue them from harm,� said Nathalie Lummert, director of Special Programs for MRS/USCCB. �What we are seeing is an exodus of the next generation in Syria, with little hope for their future.� The delegation also expressed grave concern for the plight of religious minorities, who are targets of extremists in the region. Assyrian and Chaldean Christians, along with Yazidis, are at risk of their lives. �Without a dramatic response to this unprecedented humanitarian challenge, we will continue to see ongoing suffering and even death in this population, especially among the most vulnerable,� Brown said. The delegation�s report lists several recommendations to address the crisis, including increased refugee assistance and resettlement. The full report is available at www.usccb.org/about/migration-policy/upload/Refuge-and-Hope-in-the-Time-of-ISIS.pdf

Recognising who your competitors areTo succeed in any business, you need to do your homework when it comes to recognising who your competitors are and how they work. As a new business, it is imperative that you have an understanding of who you are competing with. Competition in itself is big business in today's world so having knowledge about who else is looking to grab the attention of your customer's time and money is essential. Do as much research as you can to see if your competition is selling the same products or services or are selling substitutes. Every company, regardless of how long they have been in business, has strengths and weaknesses and you need to find out what they are as quickly as possible. Also, see where they stand in terms of market presence. All these pieces of information will help you better determine exactly where the competition is coming from. An analysis Your next step is to create your own competitive analysis. Such an analysis will vary, depending on your business type and your personal marketing situation and plans; however, most do have several common underlying factors. Find out what the general nature of your competition is and what draws consumers to choose them over similar businesses. What is it that makes people choose them? Do they offer stellar rates and service or are people drawn to them for their visual presence and reputation? Is your competition established in one part of the city, but not another? Do they operate locally or are they international? Does word of mouth go far in this type of business? These types of questions can easily be answered, depending on the business. Ecommerce, for example, rely heavily on updated products ranges in their catalogue, price and service along with positive published reviews. Do customers prefer particular online stores because they have more range, offer free delivery or offer a free returns policy? Many other types of businesses, such as professional services, for example, rely heavily on word of mouth for customers. Although online reviews do have some influence, local people tend to prefer positive referrals and references when it comes to things such as fair priced lawyers and skilled, knowledgeable doctors. You can also apply this thinking to other forms of businesses. What makes people choose a multi national coffee shop over a quaint, locally owned one? Why do some choose a iPhone over an Samsung phone or one internet service provider over another? Placing your potential business in these situations will help you when it comes to successfully marketing your brand and understanding the competition. Questions to ask yourself Take a moment to sit back and compare your product or service to those offered by your competitors. Why do you feel you rank against them and why? Your management team vs the competition. Find out who your competitions key management team are, where have they come from and experience they bring, what they seem to be doing differently now. Financial strength, does your competition have major investors that have the ability to scale their business to another level, if not could this be your differentiator if you have a superior product and service that will attract investors. Technology, do you or your competition have an advantage here such as patents that could raise a high barrier or particular suppliers that have partnered with you exclusively. Prices, do you offer more discounts or better services for less money? Perhaps you have a better selection of products than that of your competitors, thereby attracting more customers. Utilise all your creative skills and talent; you may think yourself devoid of such things, but we all have them. Decide what your best skills are and put them to the test when it comes to attracting new customers. Offering a service at a more economical rate is a skill and could very well be the one that hits your competition where they least expect it. Think of companies such as Dell, which offered great computers for prices well below their competitors or the hundreds of $1 shops you see in shopping centres. They too offer useful products for a fraction of the price of their competitors. Never underestimate the value of a good deal. This is the time to put all your great skills to use and understand where you are in the market. Once you have discovered what makes consumers choose your competitors, take the time to find out what makes them choose your products. Compare what you can and be the company that offers something different.

Snorkeling is not a sport that is designated solely for adults, in fact, the sport really is one that is for a wide range of ages. Children are especially fascinated with most things water-related. They splash in the bath tub, jump in every puddle they see and you can never seem to get them to come out of the rain. Water is and will continue to be a part of their lives.
We want our children to be able to experience many things but we also want them to enjoy them in a safe manner. This article is written to help you do just that but it is with the idea they already have the basic understanding of water safety and are somewhat versed in the fundamentals of swimming. If they are not, enroll them in swimming classes otherwise the task of getting them familiarized with snorkeling may be too monumental of a task. When dealing with younger children, patience is needed.
Kids love to be a part of the decision making process so it is a good idea to involve them as much as possible. If you are planning a family vacation you might want to see if there is an internet site of your destination that may have video clips that you can watch as a family, find fun clips of your vacation spot on YouTube or read our Snorkeling Destinations to them.
Involve them in picking out their own kids gear and if you are purchasing online, have them with you. They will be proud that they had a part in choosing their equipment and they will be more likely to want to show it off and take better care of their gear.
It is important that the equipment that you purchased, be the correct size and not something that they will 'grow into'. There is a definite difference between adult and kids gear, the only exception would be if your child is wearing teen sized clothing or is in adult shoes for their fins.
When their snorkel gear arrives, get them involved in preparing and putting everything together, it will give your kids a sense of ownership with which comes responsibility.
If time allows before the vacation, taking them to a pool with the equipment is an excellent idea. We do advise you to have them learn how to use each piece of gear separately. (Parental supervision at all times is considered a requirement, not an option). Get them used to wearing a snorkeling vest first then progressively add the mask followed by the snorkel and finally the fins. This progression will increase their comfort level without overwhelming them. If the adult is a first time user, they, too, need to be familiar with their own gear before introducing the child to theirs.
Exposure protection should be considered a must for the child. Body heat is lost so fast in the water and kid's rarely admit to being cold when they are having fun in the water. A neoprene based shorty will help to slow down this heat loss. If the child begins shivering, it is time to get out of the water. This will also add a measure of protection against sunburn. If no shorties are available, have them wear a rash guard or t-shirt in addition to waterproof sun block. These will not slow the heat loss but they will help to protect them from harmful ultra violet rays.
If your destination is a beachfront property then depending on your arrival time and the child's disposition at the moment, make it a point to take a walk to the beach with your kids so they can see it. Let them point the cool stuff to you, a child's first look at the vastness of the ocean is a moment to remember. Take a walk into the water to a level that is comfortable for your child (holding on to their hand of course). They may not want to snorkel the very first day as the sheer size of the ocean is a lot for them to process.
Talk about some of the stuff that you both might see while you are in the water together. Fish Identification cards and books are a great way to introduce them to the wonders that they will see. Many of these cards are even able to be brought into the water with you. Reinforce the 'look but don't touch' rule of which all water lovers should abide. Fish and corals have a protective coating that if disturbed could expose them to bacteria or parasites.
When they are ready to go in the water, work together as "buddy" team. (A buddy team is 1 adult to 1 child, read What is a Buddy. ) Have them check to make sure that no hair is breaking the seal of your mask and you do the same for them. Check the straps on their snorkeling vest, are they snapped and tightened and your child can do the same for you. Blow into the inflator hose and lock it and visa versa. This let's them know that you are relying on them as much as they are relying on you.
When you enter the water, take your time and let them point out all the cool and neat stuff that they see. Each discovery is a memory in the making and will serve to build their confidence. Be aware of your kids at all times. When you are familiarizing the kids to snorkeling, you need to remember what it was like to be a kid again.
Spending quality time together is often a recommendation of psychologists, psychiatrists and family counselors, but often it is difficult to find a family oriented activity that everyone will enjoy. Snorkeling is a great sport for the entire family, it is a wonderful way to builds bonds and reinforce positive relationships between everyone.

These headphones are fantastic for listening to high-quality audio. They're balanced, even, and reproduce all frequencies admirably. Their only stumbling point is that they're too good at exposing the inadequacies of compressed MP3s and poor recordings.
AKG's K 272 HD headphones are a great choice if you want sound with a neutral, natural character. They're quite comfortable, block out a decent amount of background noise and sound great, despite exposing every flaw within music.
Models like the K 272 HD sit in a difficult part of the market — below high-end, amplifier-driven headphones like AKG's own K701, but leagues ahead of even the highest-quality models from more mainstream companies like Logitech and Creative (Creative's Aurvana X-Fi Noise-Cancelling Headphones headphones spring to mind).
This part of the market is hotly contested, confronting consumers with difficult choices. However, there are some decisions you can make that will narrow down the field. Generally headphones are offered in either a closed or open style, each with its own advantages. Open headphones have a wider, more expansive sound, but closed headphones block out background noise and offer a tighter fit.
The K 272 HD headphones are closed, and they sit over the ear. This circum-aural style keeps the drivers in close proximity to the listener's ears, delivering a more balanced, even sound.
With an exceedingly flat frequency response all the way from 16 to 26,000Hz, these headphones are versatile enough to suit any musical style. They can sometimes sound a little analytical and expose the flaws within music, but if you've got a high quality collection of music and a good source to play it from this isn't a problem.
Treble is exceedingly clear and flawless, but isn't pronounced over other frequencies. While listening to The Presets, cymbal crashes and electronic notes sounded measured and composed without being harsh or overly bright. One advantage of the analytical nature of these headphones is that listeners can pick out backing instruments and musical elements that would otherwise be muffled or veiled. We noticed this in Portishead's latest album, with sweet reverberating strings suddenly becoming clear and prominent.
Bass from the headphones is incredibly quick and tight, although it doesn't seem to extend as low as the 16Hz roll-off might suggest. There's no real resonance here, which can leave the headphones sounding slightly empty if you don't know what to expect. Bass has a kick but it doesn't linger very long, so if you're used to deep, slowly-decaying subwoofer bass you may be left a little wanting. You can, at least, remind yourself that this is a more realistic reproduction of music.
Mid-range is equally well-composed, with male vocals sounding spectacularly clean. One flaw — and it's not even a real flaw — is that these headphones are able to pick out every imperfection. If you're going to be listening to low-quality music or streaming internet radio, prepare to sit in agony; unless the source you're listening to is perfect you'll notice compression effects and distortion.
Instrument placement and soundstage is an area where we enjoyed the transparency of the K 272 HD headphones. We were able to pick out individual instruments in binaural orchestra recordings, giving the headphones a remarkably three-dimensional sound.
AKG's K 272 HD headphones are accompanied by the K 142 HD, K 172 HD, and K 242 HD models, each offering a different style and aesthetic — closed, open, over-ear and on-ear — for the listener.
If you want a set of headphones to listen to your ultra-high-quality audio collection on — music with a huge variety of instruments, requiring a perfectly balanced frequency range — you can count on these headphones. Don't sully them with anything less than the best, however. They'll show up every flaw in your compressed MP3s.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
