I was born a premature baby, weighing less than 3 pounds. Doctors did not believe I would make it through the night. I did survive. I have had a grateful heart my whole life. I have always believed that happiness is a choice. While in college, I began working at a restaurant in Tacoma, Washington, which I eventually bought. I worked in that restaurant for 27 years. My years in the restaurant business gave me the opportunity to meet so many amazing people. After I sold my restaurant, I went to work as a receptionist so that I could continue to work with people. Working with people is one of my passions. It was at this time that I began learning Reiki. It all started because I am an avid animal lover. I had a beloved dog that was ill. Someone suggested I learn Reiki. That started me on my Reiki path. Reiki is my love and passion; therefore, I made giving and teaching Reiki my career.
Sharing information and/or Reiki energy with others fills my heart with joy. My accomplishments include Reiki training (with various teachers) in Tacoma and Seattle, Washington, Sedona, Arizona and in Peru. I am a Usui and Karuna Master/Teacher. I have had training in Shamanism and Serenity Vibration Healing as well. I was awarded "Best of Tacoma 2013" in the wellness category.

text: Digital Emerging Android Apps: Earth and Legend, Let's Golf! 3 HD and GTA 3 By Kathleen De Vere|December 23, 2011 Share By Kathleen De Vere|December 23, 2011 Share In the week before Christmas the Android charts showed plenty of variety — as long as you weren't looking at the top grossing list. While new games and apps did well on the free and paid charts, the top grossing list looked very similar to how it did last week, with Droidhen once again beating Gameview for the top earning spot.This Week's Top Grossing Android Apps [Update] Tap Fish – Gameview's Tap Fish may have been knocked from the top of the Android charts by Droidhen's Defender, but the aquarium sim isn't going anywhere, and has remained firmly ensconced in the #2 spot since November. While the game has attracted some heat for its free-to-play model, it hasn't detracted from the game's popularity or profitability, as it makes more than $1 million a month through in-app purchases.[Update] Paradise Island – Game Insight's Paradise Island is the #11 top grossing game on Android this week. The free-to-play city building game was last updated on December 15th with a winter update, meaning players can now stage winter events, add holiday decor to their islands, and somewhat paradoxically, see snowmen wandering their tropical resorts. [Update] Texas Poker – For much of the fall it was a three horse race at the top of the Android charts for most popular poker game. KamaGames' Texas Poker has slipped a little bit in the rankings, falling to the #13 spot behind its competition, #4 ranked Zynga Poker and #3 ranked Live Holdem Poker Pro. While the game is losing a bit of traction, installs have been trending upwards in the last 30 days so it could be poised to make a comeback. The game was last updated on the 21st to improve how the graphics display on the Kindle Fire. [Update] Words With Friends Free – While most of Zynga's mobile strength is growing on both iOS and Android right now, and the company's most popular mobile app, Words With Friend Free continues to gain strength on Android this week, rising to the #31 position and seeing downloads pick up speed in the last month. According the game's Android page, the game has seen more than 10 million cumulative downloads. Earth and Legend – The top grossing charts get a little new blood this week in the form of Dvide Arts Incorporated's paid 3D RPG Earth and Legend. On sale for $2.99 as part of a holiday promotion, the game has now seen more than 10,000 installs and sits in the #43 spot on the charts. The game features both single and multiplayer modes and like most fantasy RPGS, allows players to choose from three character classes.This Week's Top Free Android AppsFacebook for Android – As we reported earlier, utilities, not games tend to be the most popular Android apps, something that's easy to confirm with Facebook's official Android app taking the #1 spot this week. The application, which has more than 100,000,000 installs, was just updated on December 15th to overall and improve the functionality of the app. Easy Battery Saver – Independent developer Easy Dev Team cracks the free charts this week with their #17 ranked app Easy Battery Saver. A new app that's been very popular in the past month, the utility is a power manager that helps users conserve their batteries by automatically adjusting their phone's phone's network settings, screen time out and brightness. Easy Batter Saver boasts that it can increase battery life by more than 50%.Night Vision Camera – Fingersoft grabs the #20 spot on the Android charts this week with Night Vision Camera, a handy photography app that allows users to take pictures in the dark with night vision like results. While results will vary based on how effective a device's camera is, the reviews for the app are better than average with most users reporting better results than they had expected.Continue Reading Pages: 1 2 Share http://adweek.it/2kHVokf copy Adweek Adweek

Here today we have an author who would like to take his chances to create a change … Anupam Pravakar ; author of Chance
What is your major field of interests?
- Major Field of interests? (with a smile). The truth about me is that whatever I do, do only if I am interested. I do from heart. And as a writer I try to write which not only entertain the readers but equip them with noble thoughts.
What made you to choose this plot as your first novel?
- Nowadays we are somewhere cut-out of what we actually are. We complete our studies and start growing ourselves with our career leaving our society, as we have no any responsibility for it. But, when we find any evil and hatred thing are happened, we just comment irrelevant like 'yha na kucch bhi nhi badalnewala…etc'. And a day, after reading headlines in the newspaper,when I was breaking out my temper, someone said to me to not only show your anger but take actions. And this nice plot came as a result. Thanks to that person (Ms. Rajani Kumari) for given me this lucky 'CHANCE'. (Thanks dear)
What do you think- books like these will change our society?
- Truly saying – stories cannot change society. It totally depends upon us that what and how we react. Because, a story or a book can just make anyone in senses, give him / her ideas. Now it is up to us what do we want – 'be a story or a hero?' In a scene from the novel "Samar went to the rally", what would have been your approach in real life if it would have been you? Describing the scene, Samar has an important work, but instead of this, he goes to rally. As he says, 'what will our future be; if today, our country is doomed?' Sometimes I too fill very bad that what will be happen to our country. My approach would be same as Samar's .
I too participated in 'Lokpal Bill Andolan' and recently, I passed a day in jail during 'against CSAT movement' by UPSC students. So I am aware of these all activities.
Who is your favourite character in the novel and why?
- No doubt, Samar takes all the credit in the story. But as per me it's Subhanshree who makes him a hero. She is a snappy and sweet girl. She makes Samar aware about his responsibilities towards society. And, the most important thing when she meets Samar after so long gap, she has no any complains to him (that is really like 8th wonder of world.)…(Smiles)
What was the main motive behind writing "Chance"?
- 'CHANCE'…..(with smile). This is a word for which world is looking. Everyone needs a chance. But the sad thing is that only lucky ones may get it. I scribbled this with my dreams of better India. As our country too is looking for a chance, a chance – to be again ' sone ki chidiya'.
How was your journey from starting of this book to getting it published?
- There is so much I didn't know and am still figuring out. To write a book and get it publish, a long journey!. I had completed my manuscript two years ago; sent it to many of 'branded' publications but oh! their rules-regulations, their priorities, their time-lags, totally out of assumptions. But in whole, it was a happy journey and I thanks to Blue Rose Publishers to present my story to the world.
What are your upcoming ventures?
- Ya, I have started to write again. It is a bit of departure from CHANCE and quite different in style but I'm keeping it a closely guarded secret for now…….
As a writer, what do you think your commitment to society is?
- Well! I think a writer has an influence on society. For me, society is my first priority. Because human are social animals and to be a social in real, you have to do more than being available on social sites.
What would you advice to budding writers, any special message to readers?
- Life is all about taking right chance in a right way and make it a right choice. It's an enthralling game of chance and choice. One is a man of manifold choices but there's only a chance to make his choice—a right choice. So shun your fear of what would happen next. Let's take a chance. For writers I just want to say- do write from heart, write to not only entertain but also write to endow humanity. And for readers- be a hero, not a story, your chance is coming.

Lacking standards
– by Lea Diehl
In brief
© picture-alliance/Hu Qingming/Imaginechina/dpa
Many questions concerning social standards remain unanswered at the young AIIB.
Considering its economic strength, China is underrepresented in the established international financial institutions (IFIs), where the tone is set by the United States, EU member countries and Japan. The creation of the AIIB was a response to that – as well as an attempt to boost Beijing's international influence.
The AIIB's mission is to promote social and economic development, especially in Asia. It grants and facilitates long-term loans that would not be available without it. The bank seeks to strengthen regional cooperation, supporting public as well as private investments.
The AIIB's founding members include European nations. Germany is the biggest European shareholder and holds 4.1 % of the voting rights. Therefore, environmental and human-rights organisations believe that Germany has a special responsibility.
Urgewald is one such organisation. In its view, the AIIB needs to adopt and observe appropriate social and environmental standards, but it is failing on both fronts. In the critics' eyes, one example is a Indonesian slum upgrading project in the context of which the human rights of women and indigenous people were violated. The project is co-financed by the AIIB and the World Bank.
For a long time, environmental and human-rights organisations have been complaining about established IFIs only applying inadequate environmental and social standards. Now they accuse the AIIB of failing to meet even those standards.
The AIIB cooperates with established IFIs on many projects. Nevertheless, it is their competitor, says Arntraud Hartmann, a member of a standards-monitoring committee at the Asian Development Bank (ADB). She warns that in the long run the desire to attract clients will result in the lowering of standards at all multilateral banks.
In regard to energy projects, for example, the AIIB's guidelines are less strict than those of the World Bank. The AIIB rules out neither coal projects nor nuclear power, but AIIB President Jin Liqun says the bank's work is "lean, clean and green".
According to a Hawaiian critic, the AIIB pays little attention in its day-to-day operations to the grand principles it claims to be committed to. Her point is that the bank lacks transparency and reliable control mechanisms.
This view was shared by experts attending an urgewald meeting to discuss the AIIB in Berlin last month. Many demanded that AIIB involve both its shareholders and civil society in project planning and evaluation processes. A first step – it was suggested – would be to provide earlier and fuller information on projects and complaint mechanisms.
Questionable cooperation partner
Members of the German Bundestag, however, hope to have a positive influence on the AIIB.
Social Democrat Manfred Zöllmer sees German participation as an opportunity to exert pressure on Beijing to adopt appropriate standards in the future. However, he admits that it will take time. "The AIIB needs to observe standards that are not the norm in China and that the Chinese are not familiar with," says Zöllmer, who is a member of the Bundestag's finance committee.
How much influence Germany will really have on the environmental and human-rights situation in the target regions is debatable, says Thomas Gambke, who belongs to the Green party. He argues that the AIIB's European shareholders must cooperate to gain more influence.
Philip Murman of the Christian Democrats says the AIIB might facilitate investments beyond what the Asian Development Bank is doing. In his eyes, for example, there is a great need to invest in rural health care and education.
"The AIIB will try to improve matters," promises AIIB press spokesman Yuanjiang Sun, pointing out that the AIIB is still in its infancy and plans to work on standards and strategies.

Childhood Disorders
Autism and Children
Abnormal Psychology
Professor Bruce Cameron
July 22, 2007
Abstract: Autism is a brain development disorder that is found in children usually before the age of three. Autism affects children and their "social interactions, impaired communication, and restricted and repetitive behavior." (www.wikipedia.org) The number of children that have been diagnosed with autism is dramatically increasing. Boys are four times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with autism. Signs of autism include visual impairments such as lack of eye contact, speech impairments and limited speech, and restrictive interests and repetitive behavior. Treatment for children with autism includes therapy including behavior therapy, medications, and special education programs.
It has recently made headlines with its startling new statistics. Currently three to six out of every 1,000 children will be diagnosed with Autism. Boys are four times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with autism. (www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/autism) This startling statistic has been increasing dramatically since the 1980's. (see graph on page 7) Some protest this is because of more efficient diagnosis and public awareness. Others contend that it is because of vaccines that are given. There is still a lot of information that is still unknown about Autism.
Autism affects the development of the brain. It is developed during infancy or childhood. Most commonly it affects they way children will mature, including their social networks, speech, and motor skills.
Autism is a pervasive disorder; it has four other disorders that are included in its spectrum. The other four include: Aspergers Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, and Pervasive Development Disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS). Autism and Aspergers Syndrome are the most common among the five. The most significant difference between the two is that children...

Not unlike it's infamous 1988 predecessor, "Film The Police" is an urgent call to arms... a call to the young people of the nation to right common injustices. Essentially, it's an anti-violent protest song against often overlooked senseless instances of police-citizen brutality. In recent years, police brutality has become a far-reaching worldwide problem; One which has remained null in the United States, until this recent ring of "Occupy [insert city]" protests. Since many Millennials (1980-2000) were far too young to recall the dramatic events surrounding the release of N.W.A.'s "Fuck The Police," they [we] have now developed an updated message to match the current state of the nation: "Film The Police." It's a quite simple concept... if you see police brutality taking place, keep your distance, whip out your cell phone, and document that shit! The time is now to take action and MAKE HISTORY, my friends!
["Film The Police"] features a reconstruction of Dr. Dre's original beat, brilliantly reanimated by UK producer, Buddy Peace. Label CEO, Sage Francis, opens the song by picking up the gavel where Dr. Dre left it 23 years ago, introducing a blistering, true-to-style flip of Ice Cube's original verse by SFR cornerstone, B. Dolan. Toki Wright (Rhymesayers) follows up by stepping into the shoes of MC Ren, penning the people's struggle against cops as a case of "Goliath vs. a bigger giant." Finally, Jasiri X rounds out the track by filling in for Eazy-E, reminding us that police brutality disproportionately affects poor people of color.
With the Occupy Movement bringing various forms of injustice to the forefront of people's consciousness, "Film The Police" is a reminder that cops have been a continued and increasingly militarized presence in public streets. Thanks to the widespread use of smartphones and video cameras, along with the popularity of social networks such as Twitter and Facebook, the power of the media has been put back into the people's hands as they document the injustices perpetrated by those who have sworn to serve and protect them.

Noel Gallagher is not a visionary. He's not a poet or a confessor, an innovator or an experimenter. What he is is a craftsman, and a very good one at that. For more than two decades as the architect behind Oasis and in front of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, he's diligently worked his songs, seeming never to lean on anything as unreliable as a flash of inspiration. Saturday at the Opera House, he and the band that bears his name were there to do a job, and they did it handily.
Gallagher opened by holding steady on one repeated note and a "Hey-ey-ey!" chant until it slowly divebombed into the psychedelia-in-stasis of "Fort Knox." It aimed to overwhelm and it succeeded, something Gallagher would return to time after time. The shuddering, shimmering "It's a Beautiful World" was kept aloft in part by a recurring bobble in Russell Pritchard's bass, while the buzzy, air-cushioned New Wave drive of "She Taught Me How to Fly" was effortless and gorgeously melodic, with a weightless momentum.
The flip side was that the band sometimes fused into a unified roar, with few extraneous details poking through. An icy piano occasionally rose above the melancholy of "Riverman," and Gem Archer's pealing, economical guitar solo stepped forward from the snarling skiffle of "The Importance of Being Idle." But there were also duds like the one-chord "Be Careful What You Wish For" and a small handful of songs — including "In the Heat of the Moment" and "Black & White Sunshine" — built from the same bones as Oasis's "Supersonic."
The rest had enough color and vigor to make up for such lulls. The trippy, Pink Floydian verses of "Little by Little" blossomed into a joyous chorus with an ecstatic vocal melody. "Half the World Away" was transformed into a country-rock clop, with a three-piece horn section adding a drunken reverie that, tethered to a Britpop bounce, made "Dream On" sound like "Muswell Hillbillies"-era Kinks cranked to 11.
As reputationally mandated, Gallagher was his typically punchy self, albeit with a good-natured spin that kept the crowd on his side even when he took unprovoked shots at Tom Brady's recent Super Bowl loss and slagged anew a fan who had handed him a demo CD the last time he played Boston. But that's part of the package, alongside the arched eyebrow with which he sang "Holy Mountain" and the casual Beatles and Hollies nicks in that song and "Ballad of the Mighty I." And where his old band's go-to Fab Four cover was "I Am the Walrus," Gallagher closed with an appropriately rollicking "All You Need Is Love," tossing in a Rutles quote at the end, one Beatles-inspired act tipping its hat to another.

Kavanaugh faces rough confirmation battle
What happened
Senate Democrats this week launched what will be a fierce partisan battle to block the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, the U.S. Court of Appeals judge selected by President Trump to succeed longtime swing vote Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky hailed Kavanaugh, a favorite of the Republican legal establishment and a former law clerk of Kennedy's, as "one of the most thoughtful jurists" in the country, citing his "intellect, experience, and exemplary judicial temperament." But Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) spoke for many Democrats in promising to "oppose Judge Kavanaugh's nomination with everything I have," adding, "the stakes are simply too high for anything less." Kavanaugh's views on abortion rights, access to health care, voting rights, and presidential immunity, informed by his experience working for independent counsel Ken Starr's investigation of President Bill Clinton, will be a major issue throughout his Senate confirmation hearings.
After his experience in the Starr investigation and later working as a staff secretary to President George W. Bush, Kavanaugh wrote a law review article saying Congress should pass legislation that would prevent presidents from being distracted by civil litigation, criminal investigation, or possible prosecution while in office. He said he'd realized in working for Bush that investigations "take the president's focus away from his or her responsibilities to the people," and should be deferred until the president leaves office. Democrats seized on that article to charge that Trump selected Kavanaugh because he's likely to rule in the president's favor if Trump refuses to respond to a subpoena by special counsel Robert Mueller or shuts down the investigation. "Not only did Mr. Kavanaugh say that a president should not be subpoenaed, he said a president shouldn't be investigated," Schumer said.
Kavanaugh is seen as an "originalist" jurist in the mold of Justice Clarence Thomas and former Justice Antonin Scalia. In his rulings, Kavanaugh, an observant Catholic, has been a staunch defender of religious liberty, and has frequently challenged the Environmental Protection Agency over regulations imposed on industry. He notably dissented in a 2011 decision upholding Washington, D.C.'s ban on semiautomatic, assault-style rifles, arguing that the prohibition was unconstitutional. The GOP's 51-49 majority makes Kavanaugh's confirmation likely, particularly if red state Democrats feel political pressure to vote for him.
What the editorials said
In supporting Trump, the Republican Party made a deal with the devil—"the Supreme Court for your soul," said the Chicago Sun-Times. Mainstream conservatives overlooked every "reprehensible thing" about Trump in hopes he'd fill court vacancies with justices like Scalia. By nominating a "tried-and-true conservative" like Kavanaugh after already putting Neil Gorsuch on the court, Trump has made good on his campaign promise. By replacing Kennedy's unpredictable moderate views with doctrinaire conservatism, said The Washington Post, Kavanaugh "could drastically shift the court's tenuous ideological balance." But senators of both parties should press Kavanaugh to clarify his views on executive privilege, and "extract an ironclad commitment" that he "will act as a check on the president."
What the Left most fears losing is the court "as its preferred legislature," said The Wall Street Journal. But Kavanaugh has demonstrated "judicial modesty" by deferring to presidential authority "regardless of the White House occupant," and "will help restore the Supreme Court to its proper, more modest role in American politics and society."
What the columnists said
Literally any nominee would have been portrayed by the Left as a "science-fiction villain," said Emily Jashinsky in the Washington Examiner. Before the nomination was even announced, the Women's March prematurely sent out a boilerplate press release claiming "XX" would be a "death sentence for thousands of women," inadvertently exposing modern feminism's "hollow and reflexive" fearmongering.
"It's hard to imagine" Kavanaugh's "expansive view of presidential power" didn't appeal to President Trump, said Caroline Frederickson and Norman Eisen in The New York Times. The nominee's past writings suggest he agrees with Trump's lawyers' "bizarre argument" that a president cannot legally obstruct justice by shutting down an investigation over which he has authority. Trump wants to make the Mueller "witch hunt" go away, said Dahlia Lithwick in Slate.com, so he chose "the guy who had the most to say about imperial presidents." Trump's base of evangelicals wanted him to pick religious conservative Amy Coney Barrett, but he ignored them. That's why his decision to select Kavanaugh "makes him look guilty."
With "little wiggle room" in a narrowly divided Senate, the confirmation vote will come down to a few key players, said Josh Voorhees, also in Slate.com. Among them: pro-choice Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska; Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, a iconoclastic libertarian who has voiced concerns that Kavanaugh is "too deferential to the executive branch," particularly in matters of surveillance; and red state Democrats such as Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, and Doug Jones of Alabama. "Kavanaugh's fate will rest" with these senators.
What next?
Still fuming over the stonewalling of Obama's Supreme Court pick Merrick Garland, Democrats are itching for a fight, said Ronald Klain in The Washington Post. If Trump expects Kavanaugh to be confirmed as easily as Gorsuch, "he is sadly mistaken." Democrats are demanding access to millions of pages of documents, notes and emails and other records that passed through Kavanaugh's office while he worked for Starr and for the Bush White House. The overwhelming volume of records would likely delay the start of confirmation hearings until after Congress' August recess, said Josh Gerstein in Politico.com. Tommy Vietor, a former spokesman for President Obama, said "there may be actual revelations" from Kavanaugh's documents, and as public records, "Democrats and the media should demand that they be posted online."

Some of our brown recycling bins are splitting and becoming unusable. If your brown bin has split we will deliver a replacement free of charge and collect your damaged bin.
Please leave your damaged brown bin empty and ensure that it is visible from the front of your property. You do not need to leave your damaged bin directly at the kerbside for it to be replaced.
Report a split brown bin
If your damaged bin is not left out empty for us to collect, we will be unable to deliver your new bin and you will need to rearrange your delivery.
We aim to deliver your replacement bin in 10 working days but please allow up to 20 working days at times of high demand.
We carry out deliveries from 7.00am to 5.00pm on weekdays and may complete deliveries on weekends at times of high demand.
We are unable to allocate a specific time or date for the delivery of your replacement bin.
While you are waiting for your replacement bin you can still use the recycling service. We will accept recycling in alternative containers such as your old recycling box or a hessian/jute bag. Please do not use carrier bags or black bin bags.
You can also collect a supply of clear sacks for your recycling - these are available from your nearest Solihull Connect walk in centre, local library and the Bickenhill Household Waste Recycling Centre.
Due to a fault our brown recycling bins are prone to splitting. They can split at the sides, front or back. The splits are not caused due to the bins being mishandled by the collection crews.
We don't know why there has been an increase in the number of bins splitting however plastic is affected by cold weather and last winter we experienced very low temperatures.
We aim to deliver your replacement brown bin in 10 working days however please allow up to 20 working days at times of high demand.
We have never provided customers with a delivery date for their bins but understand that it is not ideal to have to leave your bins outside your property until we can collect it, however if you have a front drive or garden we can collect your damaged bin from there as a long as it is clearly visible from the roadside.
We ask that you leave your damaged bins empty for collection. This is because full bins can be difficult for the delivery driver to lift onto the collection vehicle. It also means that we can carry fewer bins in our vehicles as it prevents the bins from being stacked, reducing efficiency in deliveries and collections.
If you have a front garden or drive we will collect your damaged bin from there - to help the delivery crews the bin will need to be visible from the roadside and accessible (i.e. not left behind a parked car).
If you cannot physically empty your bin and there is no one else in your household who can do this for you - you need to let us know and we may be able to make special arrangements to collect your bin. If you do not tell us and you leave your bin full it may lead to a delay in being able to collect your bin and complete your delivery.
Delivery slots are allocated by postcode but also take into account when a request was received. Your neighbour may have requested their bin several weeks ago - we deal with the oldest requests first. We'll deliver to the same street wherever possible to reduce the need to travel back to the same road on numerous occasions but due to the time intervals between bin requests this is not always possible.
Badly damaged bins have developed large splits or holes that are getting caught on the vehicle lifting mechanism are very difficult to dislodge. We have been trying to dislodge the bins but this is an unsafe practice that cannot continue.
If a bin is badly split and considered likely to get stuck our crews have been asked to log the bin as damaged and regrettably leave it as it cannot be emptied safely.
We will leave a sticker on your bin if we can't empty it - you can order a replacement bin by filling in our online form.
Clear sacks for recycling can be collected from your nearest Solihull Connect walk in centre, local library and Bickenhill Household Waste Recycling Centre.
No, if your brown bin is split you can order a replacement using our online form.
We'll collect recycling in containers such as woven shopping bags, plastic boxes or clear sacks. You can collect a supply of clear sacks from your nearest Solihull Connect walk in centre or your local library and Bickenhill Household Waste Recycling Centre, we are also looking into whether we can provide clear sacks at other locations. You can also purchase clear sacks from some supermarkets.
We are using all of our available delivery resources to deliver replacement bins and we need to prioritise the replacement of these. If we deliver clear sacks it would take up a delivery slot that we could use to deliver a replacement bin.
Unfortunately no - you cannot use your green or black bin for recycling as this would cause confusion for the crews (even if the bin is labelled as containing recycling) as they would not expect recycling to be presented in another bin. Also there is always the risk of refuse or garden waste being included in the bins which could contaminate the load of recycling or vice versa (garden waste being contaminated with recycling).
Unfortunately a builders bag is too large for the crews to manage - the old white woven sacks that we used to provide had a capacity of 60 litres. The crews can handle bags of this size but anything larger is difficult for them to handle due to the bulk and volume that it can hold.
We don't know if all of our brown bins will split. They are under warranty and the manufacturer has to replace all damaged bins.
No, we are unable to issue a refund or rebate of your Council Tax due to issues with the brown bins and collections. While the waste and recycling service is funded by Council Tax, it is not the only service that the Council Tax funds and Council Tax payments are not service specific.
The damaged bins are collected from our depot and taken to a reprocessing company where they are broken down into their separate parts and are sent for recycling.
No, thanks to your commitment to recycling - we have not seen a reduction in our recycling rates as a result of the problem with the brown bins.

"Sadiq Khan refuses to respond Donald Trump Jr's criticism of him, saying he has 'better things to do' in wake of London attack"
He has better things to do?
Gee, I wonder what those could possibly be?
Getting a manicure or a pedicure?
As a regular reader of British news, I simply cannot think of one significant act or initiative by this man.
There is no sense of mission or purpose coming from his regular press exposure, other than the mission of advancing his career to the next level despite achieving nothing at his current level.
And he does manage to get plenty of press, despite having nothing to say.
My guess is that all the exposure relates to his early-displayed disloyalty to the leader of his party, a disloyalty rendering him attractive to a press dedicated to bringing back the ethical stench of Tony Blair.
The very fact that Mayor Khan is even engaged at all over a comment from afar from Donald Trump Jr, a man holding absolutely no official position, pretty much tells you what a petty, silly person you are stuck with as mayor.
Khan is in the full-time business of giving interviews and preening himself for public appearances.
The hollow man, par excellence.

Hello guys welcome back again and today I am again back with an awesome topic and hope you guys will like it . Today in the article I am going to explain you about floating point math. If you are reading this article from the PC it will be more helpful for you all guys . So what will be your answer being a computer science students if someone asked you what will be 0.1+0.2 ??? You guys may say it suddenly that it quite easy it's answer is 0.3 but as you are computer student the answer is wrong but I am not saying that it is wrong with your daily life applied mathematics. So this is call floating point math or floating point arithmetic .
How/Why does this happened ?
As we know that you computer or any devices understood and work in binary and binary is base 2 . And the number system we human used to use is decimal number system in most of the time. And you may also know that the decimal point we enter in computer is converted to binary system so that our computer understood it and give us the output of our input. Computers can only naturally stores integers , so they need some way of representing decimal numbers and this representation arrives with some degree of inaccuracy or unreliable. That is why 0.1+0.2 is not equals to 0.3.
If you are thinking it's difficult to understood about this than please drink a glass of cold water and make yourself cool first because it's very easy if you give your best focus while reading this. We have a base 10 system and it can only express fractions that uses a prime factor of the base (10). And the prime factor of the base(10) are 2 and 5. For ex :- 1/2 , 1/4 , 1/8 and 1/10 can be expressed clearly because the denominators all use the prime factor of 10 . But 1/3 , 1/6 and 1/9 , this all are repeating decimals because their denominators use a prime factor of 3 or 7. And we have already talk something about the binary or base 10 the prime factor is only 2. So you guys maybe clarify that we can express fraction clearly which contain 2 as a prime factor . In the binary number system or base 10 , 1/2 , 1/4 , 1/8 would all be expressed cleanly as decimal whereas 1/5 or 1/10 would be repeating decimals in the base 2 or binary system in which the computer is operating in . When you do math on these repeating decimals, you end up with leftovers which carry over when you convert the computer's base 2 (binary) number into a more human readable base 10 number. So this all happened while converting the decimal to binary .

I have really enjoyed your blog. Why, oh why, didn't I seek out rug hooking opportunities while visiting our daughter during the years she lived in Springfield??? Just never thought of it! I have certainly learned my lesson and now that she has moved to Nashville, TN I am always on the lookout for hooking opps. :) Thanks for sharing such wonderful inspiration. Val Ewan, Bonsall, CA

Dulcy, I love the pictures you've posted of the hookin. It surely looks like a great time was had by all and I'm hoping that, if Tammy elects to turn this into an annual event, I can come next year. The scenery alone would be worth the trip but I'd love to meet you, Vicki and Sheri and all of the ladies from the Springfield group.

Hi Dulcy...I've been so bad, I just went to my mailbox today and what a surprise...I love the notebook!!! I'm going antiquing today, so it will be perfect to record my treasures in. I love the little ribbon for a bookmark, how cool is that!
Us artists never stop creating, we have our faves, but can never stop with just one medium and thank goodness for that, otherwise such creative gifts would never be available...again thank you so much and I'm so sorry I'm so late getting back to you.
Yippee...a new toy!!!

A pro-independence blog by James Kelly - voted one of Scotland's top 10 political websites.

ITV speaking power to truth
As a clownish postscript to the interview, Smith triumphantly announced on Twitter that the UK government had since "reiterated" that it would not allow an independence referendum to take place, and then added "back to you, First Minister". Which was as much as to say: "No, no, you weren't listening the first time, it really is hopeless. Ready to give up now?"
Given that he was essentially trolling the SNP leadership, it perhaps wasn't surprising that Smith attracted a fair bit of ire from SNP and Yes supporters, and unfortunately some of it took the form of personal abuse. He was perfectly within his rights to complain about that, but the manner in which he did so simply cast further doubt over whether he is living up to his duty of impartiality as a broadcast journalist...
"A selection of the joy sent my way since interviewing Nicola Sturgeon.
These so-called 'cybernats' (a useless, reductive term I don't like) are no worse than other fragile individuals. The problem of people not liking their views being reasonably challenged is just endemic now."
That's about as cynical a dog-whistle as you'll ever see. He might as well have put on a Francis Urquhart voice, and said: "You may think that there's such a thing as a 'Cybernat' problem, and you may feel that these screenshots bear that out, but I'm afraid that I could not possibly agree with you". It was astonishing to see that one or two people were naive enough to take his protestations that he "doesn't like" the word Cybernat at face value. Can any of us imagine him reacting to unionist abuse with the words "these so-called CyberBrits" or "these so-called Yoons"? Nope, thought not.
Basically he's inviting us to make a straight choice between taking the side of abusive people on the internet, or accepting that his interview style was an example of fearless journalism that was legitimately challenging the views of a political leader. Well, in much the same way that I reacted to George W Bush telling us that we were either with him or we were with the terrorists, I'm going to opt out of that moronic false choice. I have no truck with personal abuse of journalists and politicians, and I wish people on all sides would stop doing it. But that doesn't mean I'm daft enough to believe that Smith was nobly speaking truth to power. He was actually doing the polar opposite of that, and attempting to shut down Nicola Sturgeon's views by telling her that "power says no".
Speaking power to truth has long been the preference of the UK broadcast media. Can you recall a single interviewer in the run-up to the indyref shouting over the answers of David Cameron or Gordon Brown or Alistair Darling, and demanding to know "but does 'permanent' mean that the Scottish Parliament's existing powers can never be removed?" or "how can the Scottish people be expected to vote for a plan that you won't actually devise until the referendum is over?" or "what recourse will the Scottish people have if this turns out to be the baloney it appears?" or "on what date will you resign if none of this ever sees the light of day?"
Of course you can't. It was all "oooh, how interesting, do tell us more, and why not call it Devo Max?"

There was a whole series of really crappy interviews with Nicola Sturgeon on Friday, during which the journalists - who aren't themselves unintelligent individuals - affected astonishingly obtuse stupidity. The Channel 4 guy - Ciaran Jenkins - kept insisting that Scotland would HAVE to adopt the Euro, only to reveal in subsequent questions and a quote from Bulgaria(?) that he was fully aware of the subtleties of agreeing to aspire to the Euro, but never signing up for it. And so on relentlessly for the whole day. When the Yes 49% poll came out the next morning I could fondly imagine Nicola sticking the Vs to the telly whenever any these sticky gits-for-a-day appeared. And don't get me started on that Sir John Curtice - who I've just noticed always ends his obfuscating little perorations on why Scottish Independence will be difficult/tricky/well-nigh impossible, with a little smirk. (Bit of a giveaway, John)ReplyDelete
Oh, and thanks (not) for the reminder of that Jackie Bird's contibution to Better Together. That was a feckin' disgrace...

It is what you Nat si do best, so why not!Delete
It's better to point out their bias, unconscious or otherwise, than hurl abuse. If we want to win we need to convince folk that voted no - not scream at themDelete
A pity Nicola hadn't told him, if he cant hold a civilised conversation he can leave.Delete
Comments of the following nature are a two edged sword. While it it is sensible to simply point out the errors in style or content of commentators/reporters, as insults are unlikely to convert anyone and may in fact put off potential independence supporters, drawing attention to this fact encourages abusive trolls passiing themselves off as independence supporters. It's an unfortunate Catch 22 situation that leads me to wonder how many abusive 'independence supporters' are in fact anti-independence.Delete

Refusing a Section 30 is the worst mistake the English/British government could ever make. It will cost them the union.ReplyDelete
The damage it is causing will be irreparable. It's utterly destroying the union for many unionists who genuinely believed it was their / Scotland's free choice.
The British/English government is punching unionists in the face and taking their right to vote away from them. We 'nats' expected this would happen; many unionists did not. It is them who will feel utterly betrayed, and by the very people they had trusted in 2014.
And unless Lab + the Libs come out and totally condemn the Tories, the Scots electorate will seem them as entirely complicit in subjugating Scotland against the will of the people.Replies
You should be happy if the above scenario happens.Delete

I still think that (as my mother used to say) it will all end in tears. Many of us believe that the UK government will at some point have to give sway to another referendum but I am not so sure. History doesn't really back this up. The words of David Mundell yesterday show an attitude that is foreign to those of us on the social justice side of the fence. We really do have to countenance the continuing refusal of a UK government to grant independence through whatever route we end up taking. Presently we are talking about timing and process but at the end of the day it is what happens after we have exhausted process and are faced with refusal. I do not believe it is impossible that we will be faced with a Catalonia style situation where some of our politicians have to face up to the possibility of breaking the UK law to respect the democratic will of the people of Scotland and facing the consequences of such an act. Look at the history of the UK most countries have had to wrest their freedom from them. They are happy to ignore international law when they want to Iraq or the Chagos Islands for example, and have been 'imprisoning' people illegally for years from the Tolpuddle Martyrs, to John MacLean to internment, opting out of part of the European Convention on Human Rights to detain people. When you look into it just even a couple of google searches will show you that the UK is not the kind auntie it broadcaster makes it out to be - its ruthless when it serves its interests. I am beginning to think that we missed our chance in 2014 and that it is going to get ugly in due course.ReplyDeleteReplies

For sure. We can't rule out English/British jackboots on Scottish streets beating up old ladies for trying to vote. That is the natural continuation of a Section 30 refusal, and what an English/British government would need to do if Scotland went ahead and held a free and fair iref2 yielding a result not to the former's liking. It's that or the UK ends.Delete
Remember, UDI is 100% successful every time...
...unless the jackboots are sent in to 'take back control'.
And on a permanent basis, because once you are keeping control by force rather than democracy, then you'll never be left alone. It will mass protests on the streets, strikes... and if that doesn't work....very likely dirks in the night, bombs at the roadside etc until the subjugated natives finally kick you out. History shows us this is as sure as night follows day. You cannot peacefully rule a country if the locals don't want you there.
It is a really, really stupid and dangerous move to refuse a Section 30. It will kill unionism in Scotland, and pursuing such a path can lead only to dark days.
I see the Catalan pro-indy parties have just beat records in the Spanish union elections. So much for Spain arresting loads of their politicians and imposing direct rule etc. As expected, all that achieved was to turn Catalan unionists into independence supporters.
When Spain rolled back devo (like Westminster is doing for brexit), indy support shot up, leading to catalan ref1. The continued refusal of a Section 30 + recent crackdown is now fully destroying catalan unionism.

Supporting Scotland being in the UK is a very, very different position to back stripping the rights of its people to freely choose that. These two positions could not be further apart.ReplyDelete
No true Scottish unionist could ever support the refusal of a Section 30 requested by a Holyrood parliamentary majority. If they back a Section 30 refusal, they are not Scottish unionist nor a democrat.
If you don't want another independence referendum, then you need to win Holyrood elections on that ticket. To refuse a Section 30 is to try and overrule the result of a democratic election because you didn't win. To refuse requests as a rule going forward is to cancel future elections because you can't win them.
If elected politicians cannot implement key policies because they are overruled by the unelected (the UK government is wholly unelected in terms of Scottish self determination), then elections are rendered meaningless.
And what next? Devolution is already being dispensed with via the brexit bill; a massive power grab by England. Refusal of a Section 30 would be even worse as it's an attempt to prevent Scots voting to leave the UK in response to such a power grab.
Sorry folks, but a Section 30 refusal would be fascism beginning in the UK. It doesn't matter if the Scottish government might find a legal route around it in some way; the fact it has been attempted by the UK government is sufficient to make it fascist / dictatorial.
And where is the 'democrat' Corbyn? Where is the outrage from Labour and the Lib Dems demanding the 2016 result be respected? Holyrood was their baby, and it is being stripped of all democratic meaning before their eyes.
Dark times for UK democracy are approaching. Scotland must leave, and as soon as possible.
- Scottish skierApril 29, 2019 at 4:11 PM
If Holyrood results can be overruled like this, why not UK election results?ReplyDelete
If a Section 30 is refused, as night follows day, so in time a UK government will say 'now is not the time' for a general election they suspect they'll lose. After all, if they've done it once and nobody put up a fight, then they'll try it again. 'A national emergency / emergency powers' is normally used to justify this move.
More likely it will be the next Scottish election that's cancelled / neutered if it looks like pro-indy parties may win it. Spain's been trying this; it's the natural next step after refusing a referendum request. Doing so just leads to a surge in support for said referendum, so you need to neuter the parliament.
That or we see a bill passed by English MPs to ban Holyrood being able to legislate for referendums, so effectively ending elections in Scotland. 'You can vote for whatever you want as long as its unionism'.
Anyway, bye bye 'Mother of parliaments / cradle of democracy'. Not that anyone outside of England ever thought that.

The UK government are attempting to end democracy. And that is what matters when it comes to votes. Whether they succeed or not is a different matter.
As far as the electorate is concerned, such UK government actions don't suddenly stop being fascist because the Scottish government might find a way to get around them.

Highly Advanced Watch: Garmin Fenix 5X
The Garmin Fenix 5X is part of a line of highly advanced multisport GPS smartwatches. It comes complete with full-color TOPO U.S. mapping for safer and easier planning of running and biking routes. Those who run, cycle, swim, golf, or hike are all provided with a long list of tracking programs. Even basic gym workouts are enhanced with trackers of their own, and all workouts can be saved for up to a week.
An Elevate heart rate monitor is pre-installed to monitor the buyer's heart rate, steps taken, and even their sleep quality. Buyers are also glad to know that it's compatible with Bluetooth Smart and WiFi, allowing them to stay connected. Other apps can also be activated for easy connectivity even while off-the-grid.
-Highly durable
-Extremely versatile
-Long-lasting battery life
-Reasonably comfortable
-Multiple tracking and safety features
-Fully-functioning GPS and maps
-Compatible with Smart Devices
-Extremely expensive
-Too bulky for some buyers
-Can have inconsistant accuracy
-Difficult to set up
It also works for training and more basic gym sessions, as it comes with activity profiles for cardio, elliptical, strength training, stair stepping, indoor rowing, floor climbing, and yoga. Even basic day-to-day activities are enhanced thanks to its step counter and other features that track calories burned, floors climbed, and distance traveled. It also comes with a built-in sleep monitor for those who are trying to get more restful nights, as well as a move bar to encourage more physical activity throughout the day.
Basic Features
Buyers seem to be particularly impressed with its GPS, as it's able to fully track their route and display by the end of their run. Its connectivity to any iPhone or Android enables social media notifications, text response, and the ability to control music stored onto the phone.
Advanced Features
Elevate wrist heart rate technology fully monitors every aspect of the person's heart rate, along with the amount of steps they've taken and the overall quality of their sleep. Training status is there to fully evaluate the buyer's most recent workout history and alert them to overexertion. The anaerobic training effect shows where improvement has been made, and training load is able to measure a week's worth of exercise volume for comparison to the buyer's most recent activity.
Finally, LiveTrack and Group LiveTrack are included to allow the runner's contact to keep tabs on their activities and give them greater peace of mind.
However, across all online listings, there are quite a few reviewers who claim that this watch doesn't provide totally accurate information. They've noticed this primarily in its GPS as well as its sleep-monitoring features, while others state that its heart rate monitor gives questionable readings during different activities.
With that said, there are a fair number of reviewers who claim that they've had trouble with connecting this watch to their mobile device or getting it to stay connected throughout the day. Although it's unclear whether or not this is because they're using the wrong smartphone or have never owned a smartwatch before, the fact that so many seem to struggle is a bit alarming for some buyers.
Garmin Explore is an incredible app for hikers and trail runners, as it's created to further enhance their off-grid activities. Even when they're out-of-reach from cellular service or WiFi, they can still view their stored maps, edit their routes, and the ability to contact an emergency response team if need be.
Buyers also have the opportunity to customize their watch face with help from the Face It app, which allows them to select a stored photo from their mobile device for continuous display.
However, its overall design is noticeably bulkier than an average sports watch and could get in the way during more rugged activities. Those with smaller wrists say that they've had to swap this model out for one that's similar just to find their ideal fit. Furthermore, a few buyers who purchased a watch with a metal band claim that it digs into their wrist after some time.
The only downside is that it's a lot bulkier than a typical sports watch, especially when it comes to its case, which makes it awkward and uncomfortable for many buyers to use every day. Even though it's only available in slate grey and black, the fact that buyers only purchase it for function indicates that they don't mind the limited color options.
The domed sapphire crystal that makes up its lens ensures that almost nothing can scratch and damage it. This part is held further into place by a stainless steel bezel and rear cover along with a fiber-reinforced polymer case.
While its band's metal option is truly able to hold up to aggressive usage, the silicone version also proves to be surprisingly sturdy. And the fact that it's water resistant in depths of up to 100 meters makes absolute sense considering its impressive swimming features.
Its display resolution is listed as 240 x 240 pixels, which leaves it on the lower end of the spectrum yet still higher than the average smartwatch. It's also sunlight-visible and transflective, allowing it to be clearly seen in different types of lighting environments for a safer workout.
Considering its comfort-level and ability to be adjusted easily, most buyers have chosen their watches with a silicone band. Although the metallic version is much more durable, especially during rugged activities, many buyers find this one too clunky and difficult to wear. And the fact that it can't be adjusted makes it a poor choice for those with smaller wrist sizes.
It should be mentioned that online listings don't mention how long its band is or that size range that it can best fit.
Several reviewers have complained that this watch is too bulky for their liking and gets in the way while they're training or even participating in competitions.
There is also no indication of how long its wristband is, although it's safe to assume that both its silicone and metal versions are the exact same length. The one major difference is that the silicone band can be easily adjusted while the metal one cannot. Therefore, only one version is able to properly fit a wider range of buyers.
Ease of Use
Furthermore, they have claimed that they received little to no help when contacting the brand's customer service department for assistance.
Power Source
They can easily plug it into either their laptop or connect it to a wall outlet to charge it up, although there's no online information that describes how long its charging time is. As usual, its cable can also be used with a portable charger when the buyer in on the go.
Once it's been fully charged, it can last up to 12 days on regular Smartwatch Mode and up to 20 hours on GPS mode.
Although some stores do carry it for less, most of their price points are still within the $300 to $500 range. As a result, several buyers put off from even considering the thought of making a purchase.
To be fair, however, this particular model is only buyers who would utilize all of its main features from its maps and GPS to its sensors and tracking devices. For example, those who trail run frequently or partake in multiple activities such as swimming, cycling, and golfing would definitely get their money's worth.
Key Features
-Domed sapphire crystal lens
-240 x 240 pixel resolution
-Bluetooth, ANT+, and WiFi connectivity
-GPS, full-color TOPO U.S. mapping
-Elevate heart rate monitor
-Garmin Connect for customized workouts
-Water resistant in up to 100 meters
-12 days of battery life in Smartwatch Mode
-20 hours of battery life in GPS mode
-Tracking programs for multiple activities
Bottom Line
Buyers are also able to efficiently track their heart rate, steps, sleep quality, and overall workout progress throughout the week. And its connectivity allows them to alert their contacts of their whereabouts even when they're off the grid.
There are a few troubling downsides to this particular model, such as its extremely expensive price tag and supposedly inconsistent levels of accuracy. Still, those who live a very active lifestyle could definitely make this their ideal everyday watch.

It has been a long thought for me to write this overall assessment of one Newton LeRoy Gingrich. That in fact he is not necessarily the strong conservative that he makes himself out to be.
There was another American president that tried that shtick.
His name.
Richard Milhous Nixon.
Any regular reader of this blog knows that I believe that while he destroyed his own presidency, he almost single-handily destroyed the Republican party as well. Of course we all know that it took one Ronald Reagan to reform and renew the party.
But what Mr. Nixon did was talk a conservative game. Yet it was Mr. Nixon that believed in socialist medicine. Oh, he would argue that it was not, but in the end it would have created the bureaucracy that all of Europe sees.
Mr. Nixon never actually did anything to scale back the so-called Great Society of his predecessor, Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson. In fact, to fight inflation, Mr. Nixon not once but twice imposed wage and price controls.
In other words, Mr. Nixon essentially conceded domestic policy to the other team.
And Mr. Nixon was always a brooding figure. Seemingly not all that much of a happy man. Yet, he always had a fighter's view of politics.
And that is Mr. Gingrich.
A fighter. In last night's CNN Republican debate, Mr. Gingrich got conservatives excited because he slammed CNN's moderator, John King, for bringing up ABC's interview with the former Mrs. Gingrich number two, Marianne.
Well, sorry but this is relevant.
This is Mr. Gingrich's third marriage. And he left his previous two wives while cavorting with the future wife. Wife number three, Calista, was who he wanted to share with wife number two.
Get all of that?
And Mr. Gingrich was carrying on that affair while pushing to impeach then President Bill Clinton.
An aside.
The impeachment was not about sex.
It was about the president of the United States lying under oath in a civil case. And he was caught. The fact that the lie was about a short-term affair is not what is important. What he lied about on that was in regards to a sexual-harassment suit brought against him by Paula Jones.
But knowing that Mr. Gingrich was shtooping Calista at the same time, what did that do the proceedings?
And if that does not bother you, how about this devastating piece in The American Spectator by Quin Hillyer? And Rick Santorum pointed out the grandiosity of Mr. Gingrich that Mr. Hillyer does in the piece. But this is the critical line of the piece:
Gingrich was great at rabble rousing. He was awful at actually managing things
I would alter it this way:
Gingrich is great at rabble rousing. He is awful at actually managing things.
And he has the Nixonian view of any disagreement as being an enemy.
We lived that before and it was a traumatic era in the United States.
This is the most critical election in my life. And to blow it because we like when Mr. Gingrich goes gonzo on the Leftywhore media. Or when he slams Mitt Romney for. . .making money. For once being a strong believer in Globaloney Warming to weaseling worse than anyone on stage. For once backing the individual mandate in national health care and now weaseling on that.
And yet Mitt Romney is called a flip-flopper.
And while it is not something that is good, optics and attitude matter.
A thrice-married, kind of short, a little chubby, white-haired White guy next to the youngish, handsome mixed-race success story with a very nice family. The first mentioned guy pretty mercurial a lot of the time. The latter guy with a smile.
Like it or not, people vote for someone who exudes a positive quality. Look at Mr. Reagan, both Mr. Bush's, Mr. Clinton.
At the end of the day, a vote for Newt Gingrich is a vote for Richard Nixon from the grave. And that is not a good vote for the United States.

I am AJ and I am 14 years old. I like public transport (buses, trains and trams), learning about the environment, and coming up with ways to stop bullying.
Autism is a different operating system and Autistic people process things differently. Autism helps me with my memory. I can remember things really well. I can remember all types of buses and where they go. I started getting into buses when I moved to Albury Wodonga. I am fascinated by buses and bus routes because the branding of buses is so unique. Dysons bus service in Wodonga allows me to visit their depot frequently and the drivers also know me very well. I've been helping my sister Cassie, who is 11, take the bus home. Cassie and I are the only ones in our family who catch buses.
What makes a good bus system is whether everyone can access the network. People don't catch buses when a system is not properly organised, including when buses are not frequent enough or when there is congestion. Currently, only three quarters of the people in Albury Wodonga can access the bus network. I want to see this level increase to include everyone. I have talked to Dysons' drivers about creating a new bus route. I even made them a map of what a new bus network could look like. The drivers were impressed. I am going to share it with the company once I finish the network map. I will show it to Martin's (bus company) as well. So far I have finished the first stage of the network and I am almost up to the second stage.
I've actually been in the newspaper, which got everyone in my community excited about my bus network. It could help build up the population of Albury Wodonga even more because of jobs created. I have lots of people cheering me on because I'm unique. My strengths include remembering stuff really well, friendliness, good manners and problem solving when it comes to stopping negative behaviour. Recently there was a severe bully who was nasty to multiple students, and I was one of his targets. I came up with a 5-step strategy to deal with future offenders, with repeat offenders starting from step 2 onwards.
When people say negative things about Autism, it can really hurt and offend someone. It's important to choose words carefully. Programs like I CAN Network were made to help people. I like being a part of the I CAN Network because I've met new people and have learnt new things. What I'd like to say to younger Autistic kids is: "You are not alone. You can do anything regardless of who you are and you can help make changes to our world." A world that embraces Autism would be like a pizza with a good mix of toppings (people fully included in the group). Everyone can be different, not just those with Autism, and that's a great thing!

Natural Hair News From Around the Web: 9 Things Some White People Don't Understand About Natural Hair
The Atlanta Black Star posted a compelling article, on what the author shares are the "9 things that white people don't understand about black, (women's) hair". What I loved about the article is the general perspective, (and corresponding pictures) shared on the following 9 focal points relating to a black woman's relationship with her hair:
- Black Women Do Not Have To Wash Their Hair Everyday
- Oil Is Actually Good For Black Hair
- Black Hair Can Shrink
- Not Every Black Woman That You See With Long Hair Has Extensions
- Black Hair Comes In a Variety of Textures
- A Black Women's Natural Hair Is Not Unprofessional or Unkempt
- Black Women Aren't Trying to Make a Rebellious Statement By Wearing Their Hair Natural
- Styling a Black Women's Hair Usually Takes a Lot of Time Natural or Not
- There Are Many Reasons Why Black Women Don't Change Their Hairstyle As Often As White Women Do
I'm not sure that I agree with all of the points. For example, I can't agree with number 9 as most black women I know love to change their hairstyles. I also think that the amount of time spent on one's hair is relative. I don't know too many black women who can wash style and "go" in 20 minutes but 45 – minutes to an hour to style one's hair may seem very fast if you are someone who spends two hours on your hair.
