By Professor Suresh Cuganesan, Professor in Organisational Control and Performance
Post GFC many organizational leaders are focused on short-term performance gains, extracting costs out of their business and optimizing growth opportunities within their existing business models – trying to extract more value out of their existing customer base and product and service portfolios. These are important to do and need to be done properly. However, in many cases this is not enough. One of the crucial lessons that has emerged from the past few years of extreme economic uncertainty is that business leadership models of the past need rethinking.
Today's business leaders need to be able to adapt to changing conditions, especially when those changes are going to continue at the pace we have recently seen. This means leaders need to be able to formulate and execute strategy, but also need to be able to adapt and evolve their business model choices. That is why the concept of strategic agility is rapidly becoming critical for sustaining high-performance in dynamic operating environments.
Technology can often be a game-changer. We see this across a number of industries and it is now having impacts a lot closer to home, in universities. The appearance of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and their rapid uptake is causing significant consternation amongst senior executives at universities around the world – how do we operate in a world where high quality educational content is freely available? What should our value proposition be? And how do we optimise use of our physical infrastructure in this technology enabled world?
Changing customer and market preferences (just think of businesses in BRW's Fast100 list that tap into sustainability imperatives) and new competitive dynamics (Big Pharma versus generics and continued growth of information aggregators) represent major forces for change. These are the reason that the University of Sydney Business School is passionate about teaching tomorrow's business leaders the importance of strategic agility.
Having the ability to adapt, often at extremely short notice, can mean the difference between success and failure. Understanding the fundamentals of rapidly implementing strategic responses to market movements, and the effective use of information, are both vital to achieving the flexibility that the modern business landscape demands.
The Strategies for Growth unit in our MBA program delves deeply into the importance of the strategic lifecycle, from formulation to critical analysis, to execution and delivery of value, and blends this with forward-looking agile thinking. To deliver this, we team up with leading industry figures to enable us to open doors for our MBA participants to put theory into practice with hands-on, real-world situations.

POLICE used a Taser on a 55-year-old man in western Sydney just hours after the State Coroner handed down critical findings on police abuse of the weapon.
The man was allegedly involved in a fight with another man in Lakemba on Wednesday night, before becoming aggressive when police tried to arrest him.
He took up a fighting stance, clenched his fists and told officers: ''I'm a fighter, come on,'' the Assistant Commissioner, Frank Mennilli, said.
The man then threw a junior officer through a glass shop window on Haldon Street and picked up two other officers and threw them to the ground.
Capsicum spray failed to subdue him so a senior sergeant fired his Taser. Even after being stunned, he tried to remove one of the Taser probes and have another go at police, Mr Mennilli said.
The man was sedated at a hospital and will be reviewed under the Mental Health Act.
''Police have a very difficult job … but they're not punching bags for thugs, they're not a punching bag for anyone,'' Mr Mennilli said.
The Police Commissioner, Andrew Scipione, said the incident showed that Tasers can save lives.

Powdery Mildew of Apple
The first sign of powdery mildew in spring is a 3- to 4-day delay in the opening of infected buds. Leaves and blossoms of these buds soon become covered with a white to light-gray powder--the spores of the powdery mildew fungus. Flowers do not develop normally, are likely to be greenish white, and produce no fruit. On leaves of new shoot growth, symptoms of powdery mildew appear as felt-like, white patches on the margins and lower surfaces. Infected leaves curl upward and soon become covered with a powdery coating of spores. New infections of succulent leaves and growing shoots reduce the size of the entire shoot. By midsummer, leaves and shoots can turn brown.
Disease Cycle
The fungus overwinters as mycelium (the body of the fungus) inside infected buds. As these buds open in spring, all of their parts become covered with a powdery coating of spores. The spores are easily windblown and infect new leaves, fruit, and shoots. Fruit infection takes place during and shortly after the blossom period. Leaf and shoot infection can continue as long as shoot growth continues. Buds can become infected as they begin to form, until they are matured for overwintering. Infections occur at temperatures of 65 to 80°F when relative humidity is high. Mildew-susceptible varieties include Cortland, Idared, Jonathan, Monroe, and Rome Beauty.
Disease Management
Protective mildew sprays should begin at the tight cluster bud stage. Where the disease is severe, mildew fungicides should be continued until new shoots stop growing, or around the fourth cover spray. Choose varieties that are resistant to powdery mildew. Some scab-resistant apple varieties are resistant to this disease (see Table 4.1).

CycloPath GRAVESEND - Did you know???? - Which Way Would You Ride?
In the Cyclopark at Gravesend there is a good horse-box park (P on the map) but from it you can only reach the 2 mile long Bridleway beside the A2. It is not far to the horse routes round Jeskyns Farm and Shorne Woods and the Darnley Trail, but as yet there is no connection.
I need lots of horse riders to go (on foot or by bicycle) and see which connection you would use, and let me know – then I can put pressure on KCC.
1. Bridges over A2 and CTRL. Would you ride or lead your horse this way? It is a footpath at the moment, then a quiet lane (Church Road) to Jeskyns
2. Footways beside the road. You cannot get a horse out of the east end of the Cyclopark at the moment, but if you could, would you (if allowed) use the footway/cycleway round the roundabouts over the A2, then the verges beside Henhurst Road to Jeskyns?
If we cannot get these connections, and use them, the box park is wasted and it might be hard to persuade the authorities that we need box parks in other places. For full Map click CycloPathMap.pdf

TREC Training at Anchor Farm: Trec Training at Anchor Farm Aylesford April 2014
Once again the Training Day was blessed with sunny weather although we had had some anxious days wondering if the ground would be dry enough for the parking. More than 30 riders from complete beginners to experienced treccies practiced on a variety of obstacles. The Bridge as usual scared the riders more than the horses. One pair teetered at the top of the steep "Ride Down" slope but finally came down safely, and a few had trouble with the Maypole.
The biggest problems were with the Rein Back and the Side Pass where some riders expected their mount to understand totally new instructions in a few moments! – if a horse has not been asked to go sideways before you should not expect him to do it for 4 meters with a pole between his front and hind legs! One step sideways is brilliant and more will soon come, but a confused frightened horse learns nothing. Similarly with the Rein Back (between 2 rails 0.8m apart) – one or two good steps are great, rushing back treading all over the poles gains nothing!
We always find that riders can do more than they expect, and so everyone goes away having achieved something, and most have big smiles too. This was the last training Day at Anchor Farm. Look out for new venues next spring.

** Check for more events on the "Events Page" ** Do you want to read the minutes of our last meeting click here **
These are days organised by British Dressage where riders interested in what dressage has to offer can come and have a lesson with a recognised trainer to get some help with competition riding or just work on developing their partnership with their horse.
They are very low key and there is no previous experience necessary. The aim is to introduce riders to what dressage can offer them.

In the nineties, jobs that once employed men and supported families finally vanished altogether. It's impossible for a service economy to create as much value per hour as a manufacturing one. Not only was the wealth-generating capacity of the American economy crippled by off-shoring manufacturing, but more importantly, the value of the men that worked those jobs evaporated with the jobs themselves.

2005 X5 OEM Expansion Tank Parts
I am going to take a stab at changing out the expansion tank on my 2005 X5 3.0. Is the OEM expansion tank really that much better? Is there an aftermarket brand made by the same manufacturer? Do I need to change the thermostat on the tank also as good measure? Any help?
I've replaced mine with a Behr expansion tank and had good results. It's at least as reliable as the BMW OEM tank, and costs less as well. Some people will advise sticking with OEM, but since the OEM parts don't last very long anyway, what's the point? LOL
My advice, if you're going to replace the expansion tank, now would be a good time to replace most of the soft parts of the system as well. Hoses, belts, and possibly the coolant level sensor as well. I broke mine the first time I replaced my expansion tank and ended up driving around for a couple of weeks with a low coolant light until my new sensor came in.
ECS Tuning sells some pretty good kits that are pre-assembled with various levels of parts. Or they sell individual pieces if the kits don't meet your needs, wants, or budget constraints.
Hope this helps!
Thansk! this was a Great Help!
What about the thermostat, isnt there one built in the tank? Does iot need replaced?
The thermostat that I think you're referring to is the automatic transmission thermostat. I had forgotten about that, until you reminded me about it again. Sorry about that. Yes, that's something that gets broken fairly frequently when removing and replacing the expansion tank. If you're careful, you can get away without replacing it, but don't be surprised if you break it.
Check out this kit: http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E53-X5-...Kit/ES2158107/
It's a Level 2 kit, assembled with aftermarket parts, and replaces most of the troublesome parts.
Add in this part: http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E53-X5-...ion/ES2091406/
That's the Automatic transmission thermostat. Not a genuine BMW part but, again, it's budget-conscious.
All of this will cost right around $400 including shipping, and your car will give you major brownie points for taking care of it so well. Plus, you'll get some BMW Merit Badges and gain valuable knowledge. Best of luck!

How regularly do you schedule hair cuts? How long have you gone between cuts? I'm up to week 10 now and there's a lot of hair happening. There's been some wild days and there's been some flat days. But now I've started to like the outgrown/overgrown look. I've also started to wonder if I should always leave a longer gap between cuts. Perhaps we all get our hair cut too often. Maybe a six-weekly trim is too much.
This big gap between cuts is not my choosing. I usually go in every five or, at the very most, six weeks. But my lovely hairdresser has had a lovely baby and she's got her hands full at the moment. I'm holding out, hoping that this will change (optimistically choosing to forget what the early days of new motherhood are like). I don't want to commit to a new stylist when there's a chance she may call. I don't want a new stylist. And I am prepared to wait (to a point). I'm learning to deal with hair volume and shape never before seen.
The key, the secret, is product. I'm adjusting the product with the length and behaviour of my now mid-length mane. I've learnt that changing products as the hair changes works a treat. I've never tried this before - I've never had to. I started the fresh cut (a lot shorter than usual as birth was imminent) with my usual lighter styling products - KMS California Hairplay texture blast for when hair was wet, then a light spray of Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray when dry. As length and heaviness increased, the products became more serious - Redken Body Full Instant Bodifier Mousse or L'Oreal Curl Corset Mousse, which give the hair some lift. Moulding paste was not unknown. Now that my hair is, er, really fuller, I'm on to the heavy-duty stuff - Kevin Murphy Body Builder Mousse, in the tall pink can, when hair is wet and, when dry, two products sold for men's hair - Goldwell Style Sign Matte Cream Paste, which gives great lift at the roots, and the new Redken Liquid Pomade Loose Ends, which gives a more natural style and sheen. Sebastain Professional Shaper Fierce has provided some much-needed muscle. I've also enlisted some Redken Forceful Super Strength Finish Spray at strategic points and times of the day. Think spray glue.
If all this sounds like a lot of product, it is. But combined, they're probably equal in price to a hair cut (well, maybe) and, except for the cupboard clutter, they're serving me well. My hair looks pretty good and I'm getting some different styles with it depending on its mood. I'm doing what my star cutter is always advising - working with it, using the right product at the right time. And it's fun. It's also easier than dealing with newly cut hair because, with all the products at my disposal, I can get a second day out if it. It actually looks better on the second day and I've saved 20 minutes.
How long do you leave between cuts? Does your hairstyle demand regular attention? What can you get away with? And how do you deal with it when it's getting just that bit unkempt?

I have been sponsoring a child through Children's Impact Network for seven years. I am impressed with the work they are doing, the love and support they give to the children and the staff's dedication to improve the lives of everyone they can.
The Bolivia Life Center is a fantastic opportunity to both financially support orphans off the streets of Bolivia as well as get the opportunity to get to know the boys. My oldest daughter worked a host one summer and she was so touched by the experience that she wrote about it on her medical school application. My youngest daughter has participated on 2 one week teams and is behind excited to go back and host this summer (2013). The BLC has become her passion. As a family, we have financially supported one boy. We write him letters and send him pictures 2x a year. We have been supporting him for 4 years.
Children's Impact Network rescues disposable children - yes you read correctly - children who are sold or abandoned for various reasons in 3rd world countries. These children find a loving, caring place to care for their every need. Most of these children were living in the streets used by pimps and drug dealers for despicable things. Staff at CIN devote their lives to loving and caring for these children. I have visited the Bolivia Life Center 4 times. I sponsor 3 children there and have had the opportunity to meet and know them as their Madrina. At CIN they receive, not just the basics of food and clothing, but also get tutoring, health care, clean living conditions, nutritional meals, religious training and the opportunity to learn trades they can carry on into adulthood. They are also given support after high school at the Life House. They can even go to college!
Previous Stories
I have been to the Bolivia Life Center 3 times in the last 4 years and contribute to them financially as well. Because I have been there and have seen for myself the amazing life being provided to the children at the orphanage, it has become a deep passion in my heart. These children receive their basic daily needs such as food, clothing and an education, but they also receive religious education, a work ethic, and lots of love from those who work and visit them. The children are so amazing - they love and give to those of us who visit far more than anything we give to them. This place will steal your heart as it did mine!
Review from Guidestar
Children's Impact Network has helped to make such a huge impact on my life. God has blessed this ministry so much and I am changed a little more each time I go on a missions trip with them. I have grown such a love for this ministry and what is taking place there. God has used this ministry to help so many people. God's love and presence is all over the orphanage in Bolivia, and the different projects taking place all over the world. It's such a selfless ministry, which I love so much about it. The heart of this ministry is to share God's love to people who have nothing. Their main goal is to look after the orphans and the widows of this world. They truly do make an impact one life at a time, and I have been so blessed to be a small part of it. Another thing I love about the ministry is that they are so great with all age groups. Whether it is adults, youth groups or families, everyone has a great experience. I highly recommend Children's Impact Network to anyone looking for a life changing experience, lots of fun, and a true encounter with the presence of God. It definitely would be a trip that you would not regret.
I had the privilege of knowing the founders of CIN as a young adult and my life and ministry were impacted by them. So, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that when they say they are impacting children's lives with food, clothing, medical care, education and more importantly, LOVE, that's exactly what they are doing. When I have the chance to give I do it joyfully and excitedly because I get to participate on the impact they are having on the children now and on future generations. Awesome!
We were introduced to CIN by our son and daughter in law who were involved through their church. We went on a mission trip to The Life Center in Bolivia several years ago and have been hooked ever since. The most helpless and defenseless groups of people worldwide are children. It was an incredible blessing to witness and be involved in an organization that reaches out to children in need, giving them an opportunity that they likely would not otherwise have. One of the most impactful moments for me while in Bolivia was seeing the widespread poverty and desolation. There are thousands of street children that have no home or family. I remember thinking, how can you make a difference in such deeply impoverished and oppressed conditions? And then it occurred to me, "one child at a time". We have since sponsored two boys and are so thankful to be able to do so. Being a part of CIN helps keep us grounded in the reality of what really matters the most, loving others.
I cannot say enough good things about this organization. I've gone to Bolivia and Honduras with Children's Impact Network and I'm going back to Honduras this summer. We all know that it takes great leadership to run a great organization. Well, John and Maritza Hernandez are two of the best. They do an incredible job of moving mountains with a small staff. So, a large portion of the money raised goes right to the needy. The entire Hernandez family gets involved in the lives of the people they serve, the lives of the staff, and the lives of the volunteers. They don't just want your money so they can achieve their agenda. They want to partner with you to make the world a better place. Always open to new ideas, always looking for opportunities, CIN is an incredible organization.
Children's Impact Network impacts the lives of many children that would otherwise never be helped in their lives. CIN has for many years slowly grown into a strong, stable organization that has the best interests of those they serve at the forefront of their entire mission. John Hernandez, his family and the entire staff have always done things the right way. In it's infancy, CIN crawled before they walked and then walked before they ran. They are now a world class organization and one that I am proud to say that I can give to and know that my donation will be put to work in a meaningful way.
Children's Impact Network is an organization that truly lives up to its name by impacting countless children's lives around the world. It goes above and beyond what is expected in its care for the orphanes living in its life centers in Bolivia and Honduras, and does not stop there but impacts the lives of children in the surrounding villages too. Not just in financial ways but in showing them love and care also. As a volunteer I was changed by my experience serving others along with CIN and this organization will always be dear to my heart and I plan to stay involved with them. Their cause is one that is special to me, but I also love CiN because they do everything with 110% of who they are and I have the upmost respect for them.
Have you ever wanted to make an impact in this world but don't know where to go? Have you ever wished you could work with a non-profit who have founders that feel like they are part of your family and where you feel safe traveling to a new part of the world all on your own. Well, Children's Impact Network is the organization where this happened to me. 10 years ago I was looking to make a difference in the lives of children and by the grace of God I found Children's Impact Network on the internet. Little did I know I was not their to change the children's lives but the children were truly going to change my life for ever. I have been volunteering with Children's Impact network over the past ten years and been blessed to visit once to twice a year to the Bolivia Life Center. I have had the opportunity to see the volunteers and financial donations improve the lives of the boys at the Bolivia Life Center. I have seen how love and faith give the children hope and dreams for their future. I have have seen God use these children who were living on the streets with no hope now have hope and work towards their their dreams. You too can donate your time or financial donations to impact children who have made a permanent place in my heart. Go make your impact with Children's Impact Network.

During the past 100 years of Beaver football, there have been many great defenses to wear the Orange and Black...the 1933 Iron Men, the 1942 Rose Bowl champions, the Giant Killers of 1967, the defense that stopped the Huskies 21-20 in 1985...the list is long and distinguished.
But which was the greatest of all?
According to the OSU Football Media Guide prepared by OSU's Sports Information Department, the greatest defensive performance of all time at Oregon State was turned in at the beginning of the last century.
From 1906-1908, the defensive units of coach F.S. Norcross yielded but four points in 72 quarters! Let's do the math on this together. That's about 18 games in which the total points scored against the Beavers was less than that of a single touchdown.
This remarkable achievement was highlighted by the 1907 season in which the Beavers finished the campaign undefeated, untied and without giving up a single point...the almost mythical "pristine" season. This remains the only perfect season in OSU football history.
The only points scored against Oregon Agricultural College, the name of the school at the time, came in the last game of the 1906 season against Willamette University in Salem.
With 17 minutes gone in the first half, WU's Curtis Coleman kicked a drop kick from OAC's 23-yard line and scored a field goal, worth four-points under turn-of-the-century football rules. Coleman was the son of WU President John H. Coleman.
Afterwards, even in defeat, the entire student body from Corvallis marched lock-arm and lock-step down the streets of downtown Salem singing Oregon State fight songs.
Fred Stevenson Norcross had arrived in Corvallis in the late summer of 1906 to coach the football team, OAC's third-choice in a job hunt that had begun in April of that year.
It proved to be one of the best hires in Oregon State history.
Norcross won 14 games over a three-year period, losing only four games and tying three.
His 1907 squad won the championship of the Western United States.
He was a graduate of the University of Michigan and had played quarterback for Fielding Yost's "Point-a-Minute" squads of the early 1900s.

5/5 Excellent cover
30 June 2017
Reviewed By: Esther, Recommend:
I had only had the cover for a month or so when my siamese kitten developed a cough. This required multiple investigations and referral to a specialist centre. The cost of this has all been covered without argument by vetsmedicover. This has made a stressful period a little less so. I have used a number of insurance companies over the years for pet insurance and it is only when you get to claim that they are put to the test. I will be using vetsmedicover for my other pets in the future. Thanks.

5/5 Worth it.
15 March 2017
Reviewed By: Charlotte Hill, Recommend:
I have had VetsMediCover for my 2 cats for some years now and choose to have a high level of cover. Although many would consider this expensive I believe it is worth it as you never know what is round the corner. The premiums are quite competitive and with pet insurance never go for the cheapest, it will open a whole world of disappointment. As a retired vet nurse I know only too well how much treatment can cost whether it's an emergency or a chronic disease. I have only had to claim once when one of my cats had to have extractions and treatment due to an underlying dental condition. It was easy to sort out with VetsMediCover and renewing my policy every year is very easy.

I have been very impressed with VetsMedicover. My dog has a chronic condition (Addison's disease) that has meant both emergency hospitalisation twice this year plus expensive medication for life.

Tommy was diagnosed with osteoarthritis, after X-rays and samples of blood and cartilage were taken, a few months after I took out pet insurance with Vets Medi Cover. They have kept me informed by email and agreed to pay the full claim. In addition they told me to contact them if he needed any further treatment. I found them helpful and professional and would recommend them.

5/5 Pleased we took Cover
3 September 2016
Reviewed By: B Reynolds, Recommend:
Our rottweiler was hitting the older dog mark and it was difficult trying to get an insurance that we thought would be good value and give good cover. Read the reviews on vetsmedi and insured with them. Then we had bad luck with our otherwise very healthy dog, as he went and did his cruciate ligament in after only a few months cover with vetsmedi. Need not have worried as from beginning to end of our claim and our dogs operation it went very smoothly and no stress. Pleased and will reinsure with them again.

5/5 Good Experience
29 June 2016
Reviewed By: Claudia , Recommend:
My experience with this pet insurance has been excellent, from customer care to claims handling. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family. They contribute towards dental treatment, which is inevitable at some time in our pet's life, they also help with existing conditions if not treated over the last 2 years, which is also something most insurances don't cover. I would always recommend to choose a lifetime cover for your own peaces of mind.

2/5 Staggering and indefensible price increase
27 June 2016
Reviewed By: Jon, Recommend:
My experience at the beginning was good, and at the end of the first year the premium went up c. 4.5% which seemed fair. However then I started to regret signing up with them, the premium increased by nearly 22% for a lesser level of cover (so like-for-like it would have been significantly more than this); and I have now just had the renewal premium through and the increase on last year is 30%!! This gives an increase over just three years of over 65%, and for a lesser policy than the original...scandalous. And before anyone asks we have made no claims.

1/5 Service good priced our of using them
1 February 2016
Reviewed By: Smoyes, Recommend:
I went with this company due to the reviews, but that was 3 years ago and since then they have put the price up every year, and not by a small amount, it started as about £25 but it is now £97 this year, and on top of that, I have to pay 20% for her condition which was diagnosed after I took out their insurance as well as them putting a ceiling of £3000 in total for the rest of her life for that condition and this is despite her only being 4, and they had the audacity to make it sound like they were doing me a big favour by doing all this, based on all of this there is no reason for me to stay with them, as it would be more affordable if I put the money away, although what I intend to do is find an alternative insurance that will cover her for everything except her existing condition. Please be warned I am not the only person they have done this to, they do this to all their customers

Completely agree with you, they have gradually increased my dogs insurance over the past few years, its increased from around £25.00 to £56.00 and I have only claimed once in the past 2 years and like you had to pay 20% of the cost....daylight robbery!!
comment by: Joanna Gordon, 30 March 2017
I went with this company 4 years ago after being impressed by their reviews. However, I have also had the experience of them putting up prices by a considerable amount each year in spite of the fact that I have made no claims. In light of this I have decided to search for an alternative policy which will be more affordable.
comment by: Susan, 29 June 2016
Lifetime cover isn't quite that. Everytime they change underwriters, which has been about 4 times in the last 5 years they recharge you an excess fee for continuing cover, I have paid 3 excess fees on the same condition - plus the premiums just shoot up. Mine went up 300% in 2 years despite claiming less than I had payed in premiums. Wish I could move. will never use them for my other pets.
comment by: Graeme, 10 June 2016
I agree with this review and how can Vets Medicover blame the previous underwiters. the new underwriters are just as bad. My dogs insurance is now £139 for a 5 year old dog and she no longer has lifetime cover. a ceiling of £3000 for each condition we have claimed for is now on this policy. I also rang Vets Medicover today who were most unhelpful and unsympathetic.

I have just had exactly the same experience as you. I am extremely disappointed and will not be staying with Vets MediCove after this treatment.
comment by: Lily, 11 March 2016
So sorry you have been caught up in the mess that our previous underwriter caused. We have managed to obtain cover for the policies that they refused to cover. In two years if the pre-existing condition has healed, you will be back on the higher level of cover. Please if this does happen, come back to us. Price increases are never desirable but this is to be expected with all pet insurers in the event of claims. However, we sometimes also reduce our prices when the problem settles down. We (

5/5 A Human Voice
30 December 2015
Reviewed By: Barry Parnell, Recommend:
I first insured with VMC with our Wire Fox Terrier, Holly roughly 3 years ago. The process was simple, professional and affordable for their Diamond Cover giving me peace of mind should anything go wrong....and oh boy, did it go wrong within months of Holly's arrival. She developed chronic Atopic Dermatitis and for the past 2.5 years has attended Bristol Small Animal Hospital for numerous treatment. I am delighted to say her condition is under control but the worry and stress her suffering caused us was assisted greatly by the staff of VMC who dealt with each and every claim for her treatment promptly and without quibble,dealing directly with our local Vets and the animal hospital removing the need for us to have to worry about doing so and keeping track of the bills. I thought this was more than enough to recommend this company by but....19 months ago a Wire Fox Terrier Puppy came into our lives, I immediately insured him with VMC.... on 14th December 2015 he died in my arms from the most aggressive form of bone cancer a canine can contract...Bramley went from a perfect puppy to the Crematorium in just 4.5 weeks.....we are devastated! However once again VetsMediCover have been our rock in dealing with his emergency diagnosis, what little treatment was available and now his euthanasia and death benefits all mostly taken care of for us without us having to deal with the hospital and vet on top of our raw grief. VetsMediCover are a human voice at the end of the phone who genuinely appear to care about their customers and their pets. I cannot recommend the company, their customer service and their Diamond Policy highly enough....last weekend my dearest friend turned up at my home with an 8 week old Wire Fox Terrier puppy, to 'help' me through my grief. I'm not ready for him so soon after my precious boy BUT he's here and we will love him unconditionally....and above all insure him with VetsMediCover for his future life...welcome to your new home.

Their insured for life is a complete lie. Had my policy for 5years and up until now I have recommended this company. However, i have just had through my dogs renewal, policy premium more that doubled but even worse is they have limited the cover available for a pre-existing irritable bowel condition. I would never have taken the policy if i had known they would change the insurance conditions. At 9years old I have no chance of finding affordable cover for life for my dog. I am now telling friends and family to change companies. I have taken this up with the financial ombudsman.

Ditto this. About to leave them now. Have had 3 dogs with them, recommended them to everyone. Then just keep having policies pulled out due to underwriters leaving cover more expensive for less cover, with exclusions (how on earth can that happen on life policies?!). I originally went with this company as the story was the MD had started it after having bad pet insurance experience.....pity seems to have forgotten how bad that feels :( I think I will take your stance re the ombudsman Kerry.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think I was going to talk about 'man-on-dog' with a United States Senator -- it's sort of freaking me out."
That reaction came from an Associated Press reporter during a 2003 interview with Sen. Rick Santorum, right after Santorum explained that he didn't have any problem with people's orientations, just so long as they didn't act on them, say with a goat or a laid-back Shar-Pei.
With a knack for freaking out an ever-growing multitude of people over the ensuing three years, Santorum stumbled into the November 2006 election, according to the polling firm Rasmussen Reports, as the nation's "most vulnerable incumbent."
Ranking dead last in voter approval among his colleagues in the U.S. Senate at the time of the election, Santorum's drubbing at the polls by Bob Casey, 59 percent to 41 percent, was statistically the biggest win by a Democrat Senate candidate in Pennsylvania history.
In his new job, Rick Santorum is an employee of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Washington-based think tank. "Our mission is to explore how the Judeo-Christian tradition applies to public policy," explains the center's president, M. Edward Whelan.
More specifically, Santorum will create and run EPPC's new "America's Enemies" program. "It's a stark name," says Santorum, "but we wanted to be candid about the fact that America really does have enemies and to point out that the nature of these enemies is much more complex than what people realize."
Note that we're dumb -- again. Just as we were moral pigmies when it came to understanding the gathering man-on-dog storm, now we're foreign policy pygmies when it comes to recognizing that America "really does have enemies" and that "the nature of these enemies is much more complex" than we realize.
"I was left after the election with a very clear sense of two things," explains Santorum. "Number one, the more I looked into the threat that confronts us, the more concerned I was about the gravity of that threat. And, number two, the more convinced I was that the American people didn't understand it."
He's "convinced," in short, that we just don't get it, don't see the "gravity," don't "understand it," just as too many of us didn't understand his make-em-suffer prescription for helping the poor. "Making people struggle a little bit," he maintained, "is not necessarily the worst thing."
We were also too dumb to "understand it" when Santorum suggested that our time alone wasn't exactly none of the government's business. Asserting that "the right to privacy doesn't exist, in my opinion, in the United States Constitution," Santorum blamed the Supreme Court for our overly-libertarian notions about individual freedom and privacy: "It all comes from, I would argue, this right that was created, created in Griswold -- Griswold is the contraception case --- and abortion."
Griswold is the 1965 case in which the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution protected a right to privacy. The case involved an 1879 Connecticut statute that outlawed the use of "any drug, medicinal article or instrument for the purpose of preventing conception."
Start by giving married couples the right to use contraceptives, and the next thing you know it'll be man-on-dog, a full-blown barnyard free-for-all.
"What I'd like to do," explained Santorum, "is have these kinds of incredibly important moral issues be decided by the American public, not by nine unelected, unaccountable judges." Mob rule• No Constitution• No birth control if the majority of Americans become Quiverfulls?
The Quiverfull movement draws its inspiration from Psalm 127: "Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them."
In any case, John J. Miller, National Review's national political correspondent, reports on how Santorum views his new "America's Enemies" job: "One of his focal points will be religious liberty and how people of faith might confront radical Islam."
On the liberty part, Mr. Santorum might want to begin by studying what the Founding Fathers had to say -- for starters, this thought from Thomas Jefferson: "Reading, reflection and time have convinced me that the interests of society require the observation of those moral precepts only in which all religions agree." Or this, also from Jefferson: "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."

May 12, 2014 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterA female driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries after a one-vehicle rollover April 27 that closed an intersection on the Wind River Indian Reservation.
The Riverton Volunteer Fire Department responded to the crash, which was reported at about 10:35 p.m. April 27 at the intersection of Rendezvous and 17 Mile roads. RVFD chief Mike Hutchison said the driver was northbound on Rendezvous Road when for unknown reasons her vehicle left the roadway and rolled, coming to rest on its side.
According to reports, the driver was partially ejected, but she also was partially pinned under the vehicle.
"She basically got thrown partway out the driver's window, and when the vehicle finally stopped rolling it was kind of partway on top of her," Hutchison said.
Officials at the scene said the woman's legs and upper body were touching the ground, but her waist was stuck inside of the vehicle.
"Her seatbelt was around her midsection," Hutchison explained. "When she got thrown out it kind of caught her."
The driver's side door had come to rest above the woman, he continued, but the vehicle was dented and so did not crush her.
"If it still had been in the original position, it would have had her smashed," Hutchison said. "But as it rolled, it pushed that metal out of the way and just kind of left space for her, basically. ... She wasn't completely under the vehicle."
Regardless, responders had to stabilize the car and lift it slightly to remove the woman from the scene. Hutchison guessed she was in her 30s, and he thinks her car was totaled in the crash.
The vehicle blocked one lane, Hutchison said, and officials closed the intersection for at least an hour while the scene was cleared.

The resulting image is one of the most celebrated pictures of the glamorous and vivacious Diana at the peak of her fame.

A peak close to the summit of this mountain bears the name of Spidean Moirich, or "Martha's peak."
It is to gain the peak the climber strives, not to possess it.

About FDA
This Week In FDA History - May 29, 1911
Several early 20th-century epilepsy "remedies." The maker of Dr. Lindley's Epilepsy Remedy, top left, pleaded guilty to misbranding in violation of the Pure Food and Drugs Act, just days before the U.S. v. Johnson ruling.
|May 29, 1911:
In U.S. v. Johnson, the Supreme Court ruled that the 1906 Pure Food and Drugs Act does not prohibit false therapeutic claims but only false and misleading statements about the ingredients or identity of a drug.
FDA in 2006
In 1912, Congress issued corrective legislation. The Sherley Amendment brought therapeutic claims within the jurisdiction of the Pure Food and Drugs Act but required the agency to prove those claims to be false and fraudulent before they would be judged as illegal. The 1962 Kefauver-Harris Amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) required drug manufacturers to prove to the FDA that their products were both safe and effective prior to marketing. They also gave the FDA control over prescription drug advertising. In addition, the FD&C Act prohibits marketers of dietary supplements to make false claims, and a dietary supplement that is promoted to treat, prevent, or cure a disease or condition is considered an unapproved, and therefore illegal, new drug.

Collateral: A Novel (edition 2012)

Work details
Collateral: A Novel by Ellen Hopkins
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This novel is written in verse, which makes it an incredibly easy read, but also adds a rhythm to the story. This is a novel that will not be easy to put down. Ellen Hopkins wastes no time connecting you to the characters and getting down to the meat of the story.
A review copy of Collateral was kindly provided to me by Atria Books.
'Each returning soldier is an in-the-flesh memoir of war. Their chapters might vary, but similar imagery fills the pages, and the theme of every book is the same - profound change. The big question became, could I live with that kind of change?'
Alternating between the past and present, Collateral tells the story of Ashley and a marine named Cole. How they met. How they fell in love. How Ashley was transformed by Cole's deployment and how she struggled to make it through by using pills and alcohol to quiet her constant fears. Collateral was a deeply moving story that tells the tale of the one left behind in time of war, and how life can be when you love a soldier.
Collateral is a realistic story in every sense because the war depicted within the pages is the exact war we're all living with today. Just as dark, gritty, and emotional as her other works with just enough hint at reality to make you wonder just how fictional it really is. Collateral does showcase the 'worst-case scenario' of loving a soldier, but that certainly makes it no less tangible. My heart ached for Ashley, her pain being so evident. I loved the snippets of Cole's poetry, being able to see his outlook on his life in contrast with Ashley's. Ellen Hopkins is truly an amazing writer and I'm so thankful for her stories. She uses no different words than any normal person but the way she uses them ends up turning them into something truly profound.
'Alone in this untamed
empty place, I free
a relentless volley
of words. They
against the pages, a torrent
of what was, what is,
what yet may come.
And when at last the spirits
I find echoed
in their retreat, stories
I dare not give voice to -
nightmares set adrift
in my paper harbor.'
I received this book as a Goodreads giveaway. I found I did not really enjoy the book even though the story line was ok. I just did not like the jumping back and forth between past and present(my personal preference).
Review Originally Post HERE
I have been a fan of Ellen Hopkins since first reading her free-verse novel Crank. The series about her daughter's drug addiction captured me and still haunts me to this day. I drifted away from Ellen's writing once her novels became mostly about teen issues and jumped back on board as a fan with her first adult novel Triangles. Collateral even though I enjoyed it falls short of her normal gripping heart wrenching tales.
Ellen is a master in tragedy and I always know I can shed a few tears during her novels, so when I learned her latest novel was about a young girl and her love for a soldier I could not wait to grab my box of tissue and leap into this story. Unfortunately I just couldn't fall completely in love with this novel, or get completely lost it in either.
Ashley is a people pleasing college student who falls in love with a soldier she meets in a bar. A majority of the relationship these two lovers are in separate countries from one another, and you kind of don't really get to meet Cole accept for in flashback scenes in the book. With each flashback scene I started to hate Cole more and more. You as the reader witness Cole's demise to anger the life of being a soldier has brought him through the "rewind" scenes. Now all of this works for me I get it but where it went wrong for me was the plot, it was pretty much nonexistent.
It is more like just reading the life of this girl who's entire life revolves around the life of her soldier. I get that this is what the story is about but I kept waiting for something to happen. While something does happen it isn't exactly worth the buildup of a 500 page book. This is why this book gets 3 out of 5 from me because while I enjoyed the story it could have been stronger and not so drawn out.
In the story Ashley has a friend named Darian, I felt like Darian's story was far more powerful than Ashley's story and had the plot this book was lacking. Only problem; Darian is just a side character with a side story. I am keeping my fingers crossed Darian's story will be her next novel.
Now like I said before I did still enjoy the story and I enjoyed Ashley as a character but I just wanted more something. It took me a pretty long time to finish this book and the only reason I made it to the end is because normally Hopkin's has powerful endings, this novel's ending followed the same pattern as the rest of the book, it just was. You do get a bump but nothing close to the catastrophic endings I am used to as an Ellen Hopkins reader. Normally I finish her books and walk away tearful hungry for more, this time I was just happy for an ending.
Collateral is the first book I've read by Ellen Hopkins and I approached it with hopeful optimism - mostly because I had heard that it was written in free verse style and, after having immersed myself in poetry this year, I thought it would be fun to try something like this.
At first the story really worked for me. It was the same story told a hundred times over - girl meets boy, boy is charming/cute/wonderful/strong/respectful/perfect, boy is in the military and is taken away from girl, etc... All of this told through free-verse that was simple and easy to read. The story in its most condensed form.
Then things got a little weird for me. You see, the boy in this case is a poet and the love interest takes his poetry to her professor and has her professor read it, and the professor proclaims about the talent of the boy (essentially indicating that he is talented and wasted in the military). All of those things are fine on their own except for one: the complimenting of the poetry.
This is where things really started to rub me the wrong way. If you are an author who writes in free-style poetry a story and then, in a round-about way, compliments your own poetry, it just makes me go "ick" a little bit. Because, honestly, the book would have been just fine had Cole not been a poet - sure there would have been tweaks needed here or there, but writing poetry and then writing in another poem how wonderful your previous poem was... yeah, it just didn't work for me.
And, sadly, that spoiled the rest of the book. It's funny how little things like that can color the way a reader interacts with a story but, as time has proven in my case, one of my biggest pet peeves is the patting of oneself on the pack through fictional characters.
p.s. The rhyming poems really didn't work for me. Please stick to the free-verse, Ms. Hopkins.
