IP Australia is looking to implement a content management system for its websites and potentially Intranet by March 2011, in an attempt to improve communication and information flow to clients.
A Web Content Management Solution (WCMS) will be tested from an as-yet-unnamed contractor in November this year, with plans to transition the system live by March next year for at least the main IP Australia site.
The agency, which is run by the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, runs 13 websites, 30 online services and has 800,000 unique browsers annually.
According to IP Australia documents, the content management system would comply with the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), version 2.0, as stipulated in the Government 2.0 Taskforce recommendations. The agency has also identified the possibility of joining a federated login solution such as that already available at australia.gov.au using a Single Sign On authentication.
Web 2.0 tools may also be on the agenda, which the agency wishing for the WCMS to provide online forum, event management, wiki and blogging modules for future use.
"It would be an advantage to have a blogging module that was tightly integrated with the solution to allow sharing of user log-in details, workflow and search capabilities," agency documents read. "The blogging module should contain a number of standard features such as commenting, categorisation, tagging and trackbacks."
The WCMS would operate in the agency's existing infrastructure which is geared towards Java-based servers on the Unix Sun Solaris 10 operating system and using network-attached storage from NetApp. The agency also hosts a virtualised servers providing access to Solaris and Windows Server 2008 operating environments.
The agency currently lacks IPv6 compatibility, but envisions compliance by 2012. It is also looking to utilise HTML5 technologies when they become ratified and available in the future.

The first State of the Union Address by President Donald J. Trump
On January 30, 2018, President Donald J. Trump delivered his first State of the Union Address. He outlined the record-setting accomplishments of his first year and cast an inspiring vision for building a safe, strong, and proud America.
We have analyzed the transcript using IntenCheck Text Analysis software. https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/30/politics/2018-state-of-the-union-transcript/index.html
The IntenCheck analyzes across 26 different categories split into 7 groups. The groups correspond to the Tone and Communicative Style analysis.
Tone Analysis
Attitude group of categories showed us that the State of Union speech is Positive [100], Strong [100] and Active [98].
When looking at the examples that President Trump provided during the State of the Union address, the Intencheck analysis showed that the dominating Emotions are Sadness [99] and Fear [98].
Insincerity [0] category showed that the speech was very precise and objective, where no indication of vagueness present.
Communicative Analysis
Communication Style analysis showed that President Trump was speaking very logically, where Rational [100] perception was dominating. There is very little indication of Visual [0] or Audial [0] channels of information present.
The major accent of the speech within the Timeline and Motivation groups of categories was towards the Future [100] plans and direction of the movement is Toward [50] something.
To illustrate his point during the State of the Union address, Trump spoke a lot about particular people – Perceptual Position III [100] (They) as well as using unifying rhetoric such as "We"and "Us" Perceptual Position IV [100].
By using the IntenCheck text analysis engine, it is now possible to obtain the emotional picture of the whole speech in just a few clicks. The results allow us to obtain an overview of the tone and attitude of the text, have a better understanding when interpreting the transcript, and see how it is perceived.

Questions and Answers About Telecommunication and Flexible Work
Last week, we asked all our readers to ask us a question, and we got some great feedback! As promised, we are answering all those questions on our blog today. For a list of more than 40 frequently asked questions about flexes and flexible workings, see this article: Questions and Answers: Telecommunication Jobs, Flexjobs, and Flexible Work.
Questions and Answers about Telecommunication and Flexible Work:
What is the best way to present yourself to someone who is running as a person who wants a part-time short-term job assignment that is not responsive at the time of reviewers (completed within a month)?
In your profile on FlexSubsubs, you have an opportunity to tell the employers who see your profile exactly what you are looking for. here are some tips:
- In the title of your profile: Write something like a professional asking for ongoing part-time projects.
- In your job description: Check only "part-time," "temporary" and "sometimes".
- A resume in Build: Summary Objective section is a great place to explain what you are looking for. You can say something like, "Professional writers with 5 years of editing experience are running, part-time, temporary and sometimes demanding assignments. Excellent writing and editing skills, working 15-20 hours per week on flexible projects Ability. "
How do you apply for a working condition for Flexboys?
Visitors and your company are looking for the first time! I saw that you did not have any CPA / finance people listed in your team members. Thank you for your replies about telecommunications.
We are glad you are interested! We rent for a year based on our needs, and of course, we list our jobs in our normal job search database. Last week, we posted open positions for a member of the online job researcher and customer service team. See our open jobs here Once filling the job, it will be removed from the database. So continue investigating our jobs database for potential year-round openings.
What advice do you give to a person with little experience but yet wants telecommunications?
- If you have less work experience, then there are telecommunication jobs for you! We recently compiled a list of 10 telecommunications and flexible jobs that do not require a degree. Although jobs are not available mostly in this post, but this can help you to know what is there. Then you can search the databases of our jobs for current jobs which are similar to them. The entry level is another good place to see the category of jobs.
- If you have a little telecommunication experience, then it is important that you show the employer how ready you are to work from home. Set up a home office with general technology like video, computer, telephone, printer, headset and video camera for video conferencing. Be sure to note your FlexJobs account set up in your job search profile on your home office.
- Also, understand the essential skills of people working from home. Skill like communication (written and oral), initiative, self-direction, freedom, focus, organization, and ability to stay alone for hours at a time is very important. Take this quiz to see if you have what to do in telecommunications.
Yesterday, I had to face an unusual situation. I contacted an employer for whom I telecommunications. My question to them – How do the phone numbers to call the interested employers, how they verify their employment with them? Instead of giving me the number of human resources (which is none of their website), I was informed that they would have to go to a specific verification website! I went to the website that I could verify the information myself and search any potential employer who is not already affiliated with this website, to find out if I have worked in this company! I think it can be a deterrent to rent – is not it? And what can I do to avoid this situation? Ask them not to contact them?
I have to accept, this is a situation I have not heard before. Is the website a big, renowned recruitment-related website? If so, most employers are probably familiar with it and it will not stop you from renting. What you can do is that potential employers should know that your current employer only confirms employment through this website, and you apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you can, give another reference to those who can talk about your work in this company so that they have an alternative source.
Do you have a situation that anybody can apply from Canada? Or is this America based only?
the answer is yes! People from Canada, Europe, and even Australia, find jobs through FlexSubsubs. By saying this, most of our jobs are based in America, but we have jobs well in Canada and abroad, and we are always looking for more. Trying out our site and finding job listings
I work a full time job and a flex job in my spare time. What would you advise to transition to full-time flex conditions? Is this also possible?
Yes, this is absolutely possible. We have full-time flexible jobs listed in our database. First of all you can do that your full time employer will be willing to give you a flexible job or not. Here are six tips to convince your boss to allow Flexwork.
The next thing to consider is whether your part-time flexible job has an opportunity to do full-time work. Do they have additional projects or work for you? Is there something like that which means that he has to get it but you did not have the time, which you could take?
And of course, the third option is to find a new full time flexible job, which you can do in our flexible jobs database. When you choose your job category, be sure to choose "only full-time jobs" from the drop-down list at the top of job listings pages.
Any suggestions / suggestions / best practices for reducing issues related to time zone differences between an office and a teleworker?
I have been working from home for three years and I am still stuck in the time zone gap almost every week! First of all, the view of your computer or desk should have a time zone map so that you can see it quickly and often. The second thing is that when you are trying to set up the meetings, what time are you talking about the area? The third tip will try to work from your company's time zone. Therefore, if you are telecommunication in Dallas and your office is located in New York, try to talk in the Eastern Time Zone at all times so that it can be easier for the largest number of people.
What does telecommunications mean?
A telecommunications job, often called teleworking, is the place where you make your trip for a home-based job. Instead of a traditional journey, you are telecommunications with telephone and computer. Most telecommunications jobs are done from home offices, but they can be part-time or full-time telecommunications jobs, which means that the company wants you to be in the office for meetings or sometimes face time. Read this blog post to differentiate between remote blogs, telecommunications jobs, virtual jobs, and home-based jobs.
I have a lot of experience in a wide range of posts, but there is a problem getting the exact experience of every individual telecommunications job posted on your site. How do I remove that challenge? I have 3 college degrees, including MBA. Will not I have some education options for the experience?
This is a common issue among job seekers, and the fact is that the qualifications are completely for every employer. I recommend that in addition to listing your comprehensive education, you write about some of the work done while earning those degrees on your resume. Especially with MBA, which is an intense degree that requires a good deal of hands-on deal, this can help employers see your education as an experience. Include classroom projects, large research papers, company visits, committee or club membership and work etc.

Crude's Deep Drill
Posted by Mike Finnegan on Oct 19th 2018
What was on the mind of "issues movie man" Stanley Kramer when he took on a rambunctious period frontier tale of oil wildcatting with the somewhat familiar and reliably intriguing premise of a sturdy, no-nonsense woman standing up to the crushing forces of rapaciously greedy interests arrayed against her? As one might suspect, much more, according to veteran biographer Donald Spoto in his 1978 career survey Stanley Kramer: Film Maker.The author first gives Kramer his say: "We wanted it authentic. The film's title was Oklahoma Crude [1973], a story of wildcatters in the oil industry in Oklahoma, 1913. It was a rough place at a rough time, and if it was rough for men, it was even rougher for women. In recreating that gritty, inhospitable place and time, Oklahoma Crude put our representatives of what we used to condescendingly describe in pre-women's lib days as the 'weaker sex' through an endurance test of sorts. But the women of our cast and crew made it almost seem like a woman's picture – in more ways than one!"
With captivating Bonnie and Clyde (1967) icon Faye Dunaway cast as Lena Doyle, the spirited loner defending her property from corporate interlopers, joined by two recent Academy Award® winners, George C. Scott (Patton) as a rascally itinerant yet slyly opportunistic hobo and John Mills (Ryan's Daughter) as Lena's loving if often irresponsible dad Cleon, the stage was set for intriguing gender politics as well as big business bashing. Spoto observes that "Although the film is rigorously faithful to place and period, Oklahoma Crude really seems to be about the unfreezing of a woman's soul, not primarily about oilmen and women. If Dunaway is comparable to Barbara Stanwyck in Forty Guns [1957], or to Marlene Dietrich in Rancho Notorious [1952], or to Joan Crawford in the more consciously psychological Johnny Guitar [1954], she's more modern and therefore less easy for some to accept in this period piece. But her beauty, her almost glassy cheeks and intelligent, high forehead suggest a woman with more aspects to her personality than a kaleidoscope's patterns. Oklahoma Crude may lack some of the entertaining polish of a picture like Boom Town [1940], which had Claudette Colbert, Spencer Tracy and Clark Gable in interestingly analogous roles. But it has all the energy and a lot more wonderful photography [in glorious widescreen Panavision courtesy of three-time Oscar® winner Robert Surtees], which seems to be nature's corrective, here, to their seamy life. Newsweek saw a similarity to the classic Western Shane [1953], and this may not be farfetched: Scott, an enigmatic drifter, is hired by Cleon to be a kind of down-at-the-heels Shane, in order to rid them all of the fear of Jack Palance (who in fact played the villain in Shane!).Here, he's grimmer and slicker and viler than ever. Shane has more provocative mystery, but Oklahoma Crude is more adventurous."
As for any hint of a conventional romance, Spoto observes: "The neat twist in these character studies is that Scott's moral torpor and Dunaway's emotional stasis are complementary – and soon they realize, in a memorable eating scene, that they're doomed apart, even if they haven't all that much together." It would prove atypical as a popular entertainment, a Western, a romance and an action opus; Spoto adds: "British, French and Russian cineastes seemed more enthusiastic about the final results than critics at home, and the Eighth Moscow Film Festival gave it first prize in 1973. Kramer was cited 'for his humanist contribution to the development of the world cinema, and for his new film, which shows how two persons win a moral victory over the despotism of business and force,'" concluding that "the characters, their hauntingly antique setting and the natural splendor of the terrain for their violence and perfidy encourage the mind to wander off in all sorts of reflective directions once the movie is over. No more could be asked of any filmmaker." Send a Little Love My Way bids the Golden Globe Best Song nominee performed by storied singer/actress Anne Murray and penned by score composer Henry Mancini and lyricist Hal David. Love and a whole lot more comprise the well-oiled filmmaking craft and complexity of thought that went into the making of Oklahoma Crude, coming in November 20 on Twilight Time hi-def Blu-ray. Preorders open November 7.

SOUNDTRACK: BAUHAUS-"Bela Lugosi's Dead" (1979).
This was Bauhaus' first single–a nine minute ode to being undead. It's considered the foundation of Goth music.
"Bela Lugosi's Dead" starts with noises and feedback–echoing guitar scratches and atmospherics.
After about a minute and a half the simple three note bass line begins–slow and menacing.
Another minute later the vocals begin–Peter Murphy's low voice reciting the lyrics.
White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead
The guitars are primarily high notes as the chords change and for a brief moment in the chorus, the three-note melody goes up in stead of down.
The remainder of the lyrics:
The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead
Around five-minutes the song quiets down to just drums and echoing scratched guitars. Around seven minutes, Murphy starts wailing "Bela's undead." The last minute or so returns to the beginning with echoed guitars sounds and scratches.
Lo-fi creepiness.

Just in time for Halloween, from the people who brought me The Short Story Advent Calendar and The Ghost Box. comes Ghost Box II.
This is once again a nifty little box (with a magnetic opening and a ribbon) which contains 11 stories for Halloween. It is lovingly described thusly:
The Ghost Box returns, like a mummy or a batman, to once again make your pupils dilate and the hair on your arms stand straight up—it's another collection of individually bound scary stories, edited and introduced by comedian and spooky specialist Patton Oswalt.
There is no explicit "order" to these books; however, Patton Oswalt will be reviewing a book a day on his Facebook page.
Much respect to Oswalt, but I will not be following his order. So there. (more…)

Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic organisms (like bacteria) that are long living on Earth (about 3.5 billion years). These tiny creatures have adapted to several kinds of habitats and climates showing a huge adaptive irradiance. Their huge plasticity makes them a successful organism, able to colonize the most different habitats and climates. They can be found both in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, from poles to deserts and from lakes to the seas over the world. Another remarkable characteristic of cyanobacteria is the capacity of producing several bioactive compounds, such as toxins and allelochemicals, which makes them even stronger competitors. It is been a consensus among scientists that eutrophication (the nutrient enrichment of aquatic ecosystems) and global warming have favored these organism even more and enhancing their capacity of dominating aquatic ecosystems. Cyanobacterial blooms have been considered a serious problem in lakes and reservoirs worldwide, threatening wild life, cattle and humans as well.
This book is intended to scientists, students and public in general interested in the Ecology, Toxicology and Management of cyanobacteria. It is a collection of review chapters, original research and case studies, which are ordinated in such a way to make readers not only to gain more knowledge about this topic but to enjoy reading. The book covers a series of up-to-date topics in cyabobacterial research, such as the role of cyanotoxins in species interactions, toxicology and ecotoxicology, risk assessment and management of toxic cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins. We hope this book will help also managers and decision-makers in environmental issues related to this very recent and serious problem in the history of the humanity. (Imprint: Nova)

The Real Food Festival is a celebration of food. Held at the Sunshine Coast on 13 – 14 September, it showcases local producers, manufacturers, retailers and restaurants and offers a unique opportunity to talk, taste and buy.
As well as an action-packed program which includes a cook-off between local Mayor (Mark Jamieson) and Environment Minister and Member for Glasshouse (Andrew Powell), the paddock to plate exhibitions and a heap of talks and demonstrations, Gardening Australia's Costa Georgiadis has just been added to the bill.
Costa is a landscape architect who has an all-consuming passion for plants and people – he knows how to bring out the best in both of them, and takes great pleasure in bringing them together. He is also a gardening enthusiast who is passionate about sourcing local ingredients to use in cooking. And he'll share the limelight with students from Montville and Conondale State Schools who are involved in Stephanie Alexander's Kitchen Garden program. That program aims to encourage kids to learn how to grow and cook their own fruit and vegetables.
Festival Director Julie Shelton said that having Costa on board was very exciting.
"The kids from two of our local State Schools are thrilled that Costa will be helping them out during the festival," she said. "Among other things, Costa will be helping the kids recycle used coffee cups from the festival and plant lettuce seedlings in them to take home and grow," Julie said.
Costa believes in embracing and celebrating mother nature's cycles and seasons and nurturing her balance, beauty and bounty organically. His holistic approach is all about gardening the soil and the soul.
Julie said Costa has an infectious character and passion for growing your own food so it will be great to see him working alongside the kids involved in the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program – which has the aim of making pleasurable food education accessible to every Australian primary school.
The Real Food Festival will be held at the Maleny Showgrounds, 13 Stanley River Road, Maleny on 13 & 14 September from 9am to 4pm daily and will showcase an abundance of good foods from more than 90 Sunshine Coast producers, manufacturers and restaurants. Entry is $20 for a daily adult pass and children under 16 are free.
Get all the details at realfoodfestivals.com.au.

Gambling company Paddy Power Betfair advanced 1.2% to £69.95 as it slightly upgraded its annual guidance, after a strong sales performance in its new US business in the third quarter offset weakness in UK retail and Australia.
British Airways-owner International Consolidated Airlines dipped 0.5% to 615p amid the market weakness and despite bumping up its long-term earnings outlook for 2019-to-2023 to €7.2bn a year, up from previous guidance of €6.5bn.

London, Apr 18 (IANS): Manchester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 in a wild Champions League quarterfinal second leg that left the sides knotted 4-4 on aggregate with the visitors bound for the semi-finals thanks to their three away goals.
While the mentality of both teams in that contest appeared to be dominated by fear of losing, Wednesday night's clash at the Etihad was a wide-open affair, as the two squads combined for four goals in the first 11 minutes to set a new Champions League record, reports Efe news.
And yet again, the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) loomed large in determining the outcome, upholding a Spurs goal and disallowing a City marker that would have seen the hosts go through to the semis.
The opening 20 minutes featured a display of what Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp likes to call "heavy metal football," with frantic end-to-end action.
City, needing to score, levelled the tie in the 4th minute thanks to Raheem Sterling, who exploited the inattention of Spurs defender Kieran Trippier to deliver a perfect strike.
Three minutes later, City back-liner Aymeric Laporte failed to cut off a Dele Alli pass and set up an easy goal for Son Heung-min.
The South Korean star got a second goal in the 10th minute, again as the result of a lapse by Laporte.
Now behind 3-1 on aggregate, City needed just seconds to claw back a goal, as Danny Rose left Bernardo Silva unmarked and the Portuguese international scored off a deflection.
The goal lifted City and a seemingly innocuous free kick led to a second goal for Sterling, who tapped in a Kevin de Bruyne cross in the 21st minute to level the overall score at 3-3.
The home side pulled ahead in the 59th minute with a goal by Sergio "Kun" Agüero, who took a pass from De Bruyne and smashed the ball past Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris.
City led 4-3 and needed only to keep a clean sheet for the final 30 minutes to claim a berth in the semi-finals.
But in the 73rd minute, Fernando Llorente, who came into the match as a substitute for the injured Moussa Sissoko, managed to knock a Trippier cross into the City net.
City claimed hand ball and the referee took an extended look at the VAR replay before concluding there were no grounds to disallow the goal.
But with 17 minutes left in regulation plus stoppage-time to come, City could feel confident of getting another goal.
Three minutes into stoppage time, the goal came on a strike by Sterling and the Etihad erupted, only to fall silent moments later when the goal was disallowed after VAR detected that Agüero was offside.

For many women, weight loss, pregnancy, childbirth, and the natural aging process can take its toll on the vaginal area. The internal tissue can become loose, and there may be a decrease in overall sensitivity. This can lead to certain medical conditions, such as incontinence, or less sexual pleasure due to vaginal dryness, lax skin, and other conditions. Boise, ID plastic surgeon Dr. Dean E. Sorensen offers the O-Shot vaginal rejuvenation therapy for women desiring both overall sexual wellness and to feel like themselves again. The O-Shot is a nonsurgical in-office injectable treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood to stimulate growth and sensitivity in your upper vagina and clitoris. Many of our patients have enjoyed a renewed sense of being after the O-Shot as it allows them to feel feminine while restoring sexual function. To learn more about the O-Shot, please contact our Boise, ID office to schedule your consultation.
"I recently had an extensive procedure done with Dr Sorenson and another physician. I could not be happier with the result. I was quite nervous about the whole thing, being a septo and rhinoplasty,..."- K.S. / Yahoo / Mar 03, 2020
"I always have the best experience here!"- V.A. / Facebook / Jan 08, 2020
"I had breast augmentation surgery and I am very pleased with the results. Dr. Sorensen spent time with me explaining the procedure and I appreciated the follow up visit before the surgery to make..."- R.S. / Yahoo / Oct 27, 2019
"I had implant removal procedure 10 months ago. I had evaluations with several other doctors. Their evaluations felt sterile and impersonal. Dr Sorensen and his team explained every step of the process and were always available for questions. I was very impressed with the courtesy, professionalism, efficiency and the overall quality of providers and nurses who work with Dr Sorensen and the rest of the surgical team. Since then, I have been seeing Dr Sorensen's aesthetician Katie for micro-needling. I had very severe adult acne with scarring. I have always had beautiful skin up until about 3 years ago. I had my third mico-needling treatment today. My skin is so much better now. It is finally acne free with only a few areas of redness to my t zone, and I am confident that these will be gone in a few weeks. It is so nice to be able to go without makeup and feel good about my skin once again. It was not expensive and well worth it. I am so grateful to Dr Sorensen and his team. They're a fabulous and amazing group of people. I highly recommended the services that Dr Sorensen and his team provide."- A.F. / Google / Jan 13, 2019
"Katie does a fabulous job on all my waxing needs - at a fair price. She is always accommodating to my schedule. If you need a great esthetician please give her a try.."- E.R. / Google / May 31, 2019
O-Shot Procedure Technique
The O-Shot helps treat some sexual dysfunction in women and improve orgasms. It has been shown to help women with various aspects of sexual dysfunction and certain conditions by using PRP to stimulate the growth of new cells, which simultaneously increases sensitivity. You may benefit from the O-Shot if you have:
- Decreased sex drive (libido)
- Ongoing vaginal dryness
- Trouble reaching or having orgasms
- Limited arousal from clitoral stimulation
- Skin laxity or loose vaginal muscles
- Pain during sex
- Pain from episiotomy scars
- Certain forms of urinary incontinence
About the O-Shot
The O-Shot is performed safely in our Boise, ID plastic surgery center. The treatment starts with one of our medical assistants withdrawing a small amount of blood from your arm. The second step of the procedure is to create the PRP serum. This is accomplished through a separation process with a centrifuge to isolate the growth factors needed for the injection. This newly formed serum is placed into a fine syringe where it will then be injected into the upper vaginal area and clitoris. Depending on your concerns and goals, Dr. Sorensen may combine another nonsurgical vaginal treatment, such as FemTouch, with the O-Shot for optimal results.
What to Expect with O-Shot®
After your O-Shot, you should be able to leave our office and resume normal activities. We advise patients to hold off on sexual intercourse or vigorous exercise so that you have time to heal. You may have some mild swelling and sensitivity for the first few days, which should subside naturally. It generally takes a few weeks to see improvements as your vaginal tissue begins to heal and regenerate itself. You should see full results in about three months with increased libido and sensitivity. Typically, results last for 1 – 3 years. We will discuss this with you during your visit and also discuss the potential for any follow-up treatments that may be needed.
Plan Your Procedure
O-Shot Ideal Candidates
If you are experiencing sexual discomfort, sexual dysfunction, or other conditions, such as incontinence, we invite you to call our Boise, ID office and learn more about the nonsurgical options available to you. The O-Shot is an effective way to restore your sexual health and wellbeing with a simple injection that takes just minutes. Learn more about how the O-Shot can benefit you by scheduling your appointment today.

As i have said before, with Donald Trump in the White House this is a great time to be a journalist or a comedian and with the salacious revelations about his affairs with porn stars and playboy bunnies continuing to tumble out, it's a golden era.
With all the previous allegations against him from women he sexually assaulted, the two front at centre at the moment are porn actress Stormy Daniels and Playboy Model Karen McDougal and they both have a rather disturbing similarity to tell about Trump and his daughter Ivanka.
The small handed racist is alleged to have compared both woman he reportedly had sex with to his daughter, telling Ms Daniels: 'Wow, you are special. You remind me of my daughter' and Ms McDougal that she was: 'beautiful like Ivanka'.
Comparing people that he was actively attempting to have sex with to his daughter is creepy in the extreme but it isn't the first time he has made eyebrow raising comments about her.
When asked about Ivanka in a 2015 interview, Mr Trump said: 'If I weren't happily married and, ya know, her father...' and previously replied to a question about how he would react if Ivanka posed for Playboy magazine with: 'I don't think Ivanka would do that, although she does have a very nice figure. I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her'.
When asked what he and his daughter both consider their favourite things, Trump answered: 'I was going to say sex, but I can relate to golf and real estate'.
In another interview he said: 'You know who's one of the great beauties of the world, Ivanka. My daughter, Ivanka. She's 6 feet tall, she's got the best body'.
Not sure what to make of it all, the man is obviously a moronic sexual deviant and creepy in the extreme but this thing with his daughter is just beyond weird.

This course provides historical and advanced theoretical understandings of motivation and behaviour and their degree of relevance in diverse ecological settings. The course is premised on the belief that the most important issue underlying a culturally inclusive society is a willingness of people to be more aware, knowledgeable, and accepting of difference. The course is designed for students who wish to engage in promoting analyses and rigorous critique of socio- psychological theories and to apply strategies that emanate from those theories. Issues relating to Maori and indigenous ways of knowing and practising will be explored.
The structure and content are purpose-designed for postgraduate students who wish to engage in promoting analyses and rigorous critique of socio-psychological theories and to apply strategies that emanate from those theories - in a variety of contexts. Issues relating to Māori and Indigenous ways of knowing and practising will be explored, discussed, and reported on. A chief aim of the course is to select a range of co-existing concepts that vary together, and to shape them into resources that will have application for educationalists and social scientists. It is therefore designed to respond to the interests of early childhood centre and classroom practitioners, educational leaders, resource teachers, special education consultants, psychologists, social workers, counsellors, and other professionals interested in providing inclusive and vibrant learning and social environments in the milieu that make up today's changing communities.
On completing this course students will be able to:1. Analyse and describe key issues in motivational theory in New Zealand and internationally;2. Position practices, policies and contentions of culturally diverse imperatives that co-exist within and alongside a range of theoretical exemplars;3. Apply critical thinking to culturally responsive practices;4. Critically analyse and compare key motivational theorists and theoretical frameworks;5. Critique evidence-based research that is noted for informing practice;6. Evaluate and defend the meanings of practice-based evidence, particularly as it applies to cultural settings;7. Present academically sound information in a convincingly and appropriately argued manner; and,8. Plan future research and/or policy development in the respective socio-psychological fields.

Dave Allen talks about his fight with David Price, his future plans and the Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz Jr rematch
You know you will always get good value from an interview with popular Doncaster heavyweight Dave Allen. Our man Foz was reassured of this last night at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.
Not only did Allen have plenty to say about his anticipated July 20 clash with 'on the slide' David Price, he also chipped in on Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz 2 and a potential future fight between himself and Alexander Povetkin. As stated, good value.

Well the political scene is really heating up – in fact the local bloggers are really blogging. This is remarkable in itself. So before things get out-of-hand, I want to mention the second biggest event that occurs in Newburyport. The biggest event is Yankee Homecoming. And no, the second biggest event is not Christmas.
No one spends big bucks promoting it and yet huge bucks are spent.
The Daily News radar year-after-year hardly ever detects it.
And yet, a recent newcomer from Lowell was just telling me all in a flush that he was finally close enough to experience something that's he's known for years.
It's epicenter is not Downtown. It is Marlboro Street. One year, and it is still talked about to this day, a full-size Star Wars Rebel X-wing star fighter was on display and other incredible 'happenings' have occurred every year since.
Huge happenings go on that make the typical tailgate party pale. The street becomes so packed it's hard to walk down it and police are present every year to try to keep some kind of order. (But they're hardly necessary – the mood is so merry and the 'Wow' factor is high.)
And the parties and the incredibly elaborate decorated houses and spooky themes radiate out from there across the City and make you think you're in Salem at the midnight hour. But this is Newburyport.
For those who have just found out who are outside of the City what you've been missing all these years, I feel sorry for you.
But now you know.
Which is why at the last city council it became such a hot debate on changing the meeting from Monday night to the next night. Those councilors in the know will be stewing in their seats while the festivities rage.
You can never tell. They might not get a quorum due to sudden 'sicknesses' and 'scheduling conflicts'!
-P. Preservationist
PS. It may surprise those who live here that Newburyport is considered one of the most haunted places in all of New England. We often forget that we have 'Old Hill Burying Ground' – which looks like a classic scary cemetery and Oak Hill Cemetery. (I pride myself in not being superstitious and afraid of the dark but you will NEVER see me alone in either place after dark.( Unless I have Ghlee Woodworth with me running one of her night tours!) We also have 2,750 historical homes and an ancient seaport with the ghosts of pirates, privateers, shipwreck victims, smugglers, rum-runners and ruffians.) More than enough historic 'ghosts' to go around.

Shifter Skinz" are for motorcycle riders. They protect the left shoe or boot from making a black mark. Often at times the motorcycle gear shifter will cut into a pair of footwear within one week of riding, ruining the footwear very quickly. As during one full day of riding a motorcyclist can up shift the gear shifter about 5000 times . Shifter Skinz are a great product and this is why there are 9 patents on it and over 3 million "Shifter Skinz" sold per year.

An organization called Alliance for Gun Responsibility has collected 360,000 signatures to get Initiative 1639, a firearms safety proposal on the November ballot. This initiative advertises that it will raise the legal age to purchase semi-automatic weapons in Washington State to 21. It would also require gun owners to secure any firearms kept in their homes. This initiative is financially backed by some residents of Washington State like Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, and venture capitalist Nick Hanauer.
Gun rights supporters had asked the Washngton State Supreme Court to invalidate the petitions because the petition does not include all of the changes 1639 would make in Washington state gun laws. Alan Gotlieb, Executive Vice President and founder of the Second Amendment Foundation stated that "The microscopic maze of fine print used by the initiative disguised the actual language of the measure on the back of the petitions, which violates state law." But on Tuesday July 3rd, a Washington state Supreme Court commissioner dismissed the effort to keep it off of the ballot.
The denial isn't likely to dissuade the efforts of the SAF to keep this off of the ballot. Alan Gotlieb wrote in an email, "We are filing a motion to reconsider as I write this."
If the initiative makes it on to the November ballot, both sides will most likely spend large amounts of money to convince the citizens of Washington to vote their way. It is unknown at this time if any group like the NRA will back the campaign to try to defeat 1639. In 2014 and 2016 voters approved several safety measures like expanding background checks.

It's being proposed as prostitution with the safety and convenience of an Uber. A historic airport in Berlin is the proposed site of "Verichtungsboxen" — or publicly available prostitution booths where sex workers can meet clients at what's considered a relatively safe and regulated venue.
The mayor of Berlin's central Mitte district is leading the initiative to turn the city's former Tempelhof airport, which was famous for being a Nazi airfield in WWII and afterwards site of the Berlin airlift during the Cold War, into a "drive-in" prostitution site.
According to CNN, the plans will include "drive-in booths, where customers can meet sex workers in their own vehicles."
Since going out of service in 2008, Tempelhof has since been turned into a sprawling public park and recreation area, but previously claimed the title of the world's oldest operating commercial airport.
The Green party mayor leading the initiative, Stephan von Dassel, says he wants to not only clean up Berlin's streets, but provide a safer environment for sex workers, ultimately in a bid to improve the lives of "residents and sex workers" alike.
"Residents and businesses have been calling for a ban on street prostitution for many years," he said in a statement.
He further described as the Berlin Senate refusing to take any regulatory action "because it fears a deterioration of the overall situation."
Tempelhof airport has often been referenced as "Hitler's Airport" but has since 2008 been a popular public park and recreation area.
Dassel also noted that providing Kurfürstenstrasse at the well-known and popular city site would hopefully prevent men "seeking sexual services at such a low price". One of the problems, he explained, is that sex workers increasingly had to operate as a "bulk business in order to earn a basic income."
Germany legalized street prostitution in the early 2000's, and especially over the last decade has seen the sex industry boom, with prostitutes enjoying "worker's rights" the same as if they were in transportation or the food industry. Berlin has long been known as having among the world's most liberal prostitution laws.
But similar to the situation the The Netherlands recently, there's been a slow public backlash given the simultaneous sex worker health crisis, influx of drugs, pimps, human trafficking, and rampant unreported abuse of women.
One classic line of Mitte district's mayor quoted by CNN is as follows:
The visibility of pimps is having a "negative impact on the safety of residents," he says.
The drive-in sex booths idea has actually been implemented on a limited bases in places like Cologne, Zurich, and in The Netherlands.
In practice they ideally include security features like cameras outside the booths and alarm buttons that a sex worker can push if they are under threat.
But one significant roadblock the plan may run into is the fact that as a centrally located public park, where families can often be seen rollerblading or picnicking or having an early evening stroll, is that families may react angrily at the idea that Tempelhof could be partially transformed into a drive-in sex service.
This would of course, simply take the pimps and prostitutes off the streets and bring them to the recreation and "play" area of the landmark airport.

Iris is a perennial plant with about 260 to 300 species, named after Irida, the Geek goddess, Iris has as many colors as there are in a rainbow, which explains why it is named after Irida - that name means rainbow. Iris Pallida and Iris Florentina (symbol of Florence, Italy) are often used in aromatherapy and medicine. The fleur-de-lys is based on the iris.
It is the root of the plant, the rhizome, that is used in perfumery, and that process of extraction is very time consuming, taking up to five years to get the essence. This explains why orris butter is very expensive. Because of the extraction from the roots, the iris note in fragrance is rooty smelling and very earthy on its own.
Two of the most famous iris perfumes from history are Guerlain Apres L'Ondee (iris and violets) and Jacques Fath Iris Gris (discontinued for many years and featured iris and peach).
The power houses of iris perfumes that are full-on rooty goodness are Serge Lutens Iris Silver Mist, Xerjoff Irisss, and Hermes Hiris. If you find those much too earthy and strange, a few iris perfumes that are rendered more classically beautiful through adding other notes are Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile, Parfums DelRae Mythique, and Frederic Malle Iris Poudre.
Good examples of iris perfumes that are soliflores are Chanel 28 La Pausa and Prada Infusion d'Iris.
Woody iris perfumes are The Different Company Bois d'Iris, Ormonde Jayne Orris Noir, and Van Cleef & Arpels Bois d'Iris.
Some other interesting iris perfumes are Cartier L'Heure Promise (iris and sandalwood), Parfum d'Empire Equistrius (chocolate, rice and iris) and By Kilian Flower of Immortality (iris and peach).
If you're on a budget, make sure to try out Hermes Hiris (linked above), Christian Dior Dior Homme (yeah, it says Homme, but it is definitely unisex) and Prada Infusion d'Iris (both a men's and women's version)

It's a classic New York tableau — tourists browsing a dingy downtown shop before one brave soul asks for "the other stuff." Seconds later, the party is whisked into a secret back room the size of a broom closet, where fake Gucci, Prada and Chanel bags hang from every surface, priced at a fraction of what their genuine counterparts sell for.
But try as she might, Mary McFinn, an Irish tourist, couldn't get herself invited anywhere. "We came to Canal Street because we heard it was cheaper," she said. She and her four 20-something friends had come to New York's Chinatown seeking the latest fake designer handbags. Instead she made do with a $50 no-name purse. "It's not like we haven't tried, though," she said, opening a black plastic bag to reveal a Louis Vuitton knockoff.
McFinn must have caught Canal Street on a bad day. Still reeling from a December New York Police Department raid of more than 30 vendors' counterfeit merchandise, Canal Street is not the mecca of fake bags it used to be. Many bag counterfeiters are finding a new home and charging a lot more than their curbside counterparts by migrating to the faceless world of Internet shopping.
A growing number of Web sites are charging hundreds of dollars for fake designer bags that would otherwise sell on the street in the low two digits. "It's getting worse by the day," complained Stephen Michael Gaffigan, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., attorney who practices intellectual-property law and has represented high-end designers from Louis Vuitton and Chanel to Marc Jacobs and Givenchy. In one case in the Northern District Court of California, Chanel and Louis Vuitton are suing the owners of 16 different Web sites accused of selling replica goods. When any of these the Web sites are visited, a legal notice pops up, saying the sites have been shut down and that the court has awarded the design firms more than $1 million in default damages.
But the judgments, if anything, are too small, Gaffigan says. "When defendants fail to show up in court, it's hard to tell how profitable their businesses are," he adds. "But historically, they often make well into the millions." According to the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition, a Washington-based nonprofit organization that combats intellectual-property fraud, the global trade in counterfeit goods has increased from $5.5 billion in 1982 to approximately $600 billion a year, as of the latest report. In the U.S., the sale of handbags made up around 8 percent of domestic counterfeit sales, or about $21 million in fake goods in 2009.
And unlike those engaged in the Canal Street bag trade, online purveyors of fake goods aren't discreet. Most Web sites proclaim outright that they're selling fake goods. On top1replica.com, for instance, visitors are greeted with a photo of Scarlett Johansson lifted from a 2007 Louis Vuitton magazine campaign, although the image has a caption that wasn't in the original ad: "Louis Vuitton: Offer the Best Replica Handbags." The Web site sells knockoffs of brands like Marc Jacobs, Hermès and Gucci at around $200 per item — but in the case of Gucci, for instance, the average bag can cost between $600 for a small clutch to $15,500 for a crocodile handbag. "They acknowledge that it's criminal behavior," Gaffigan said.
Rob Holmes, the president of IPCyberCrime.com, an investigative agency in Plano, Texas, that tracks down intellectual-property thieves, has another name for this phenomenon: the "replica margin." In legitimate businesses, higher price typically equates higher quality; consumers often apply the same logic to their fake-bag purchases, he said. During one investigation several years ago, he bought an $800 imitation designer bag on eBay then searched an independent replica Web site for the same bag and bought it for $100. When the bags arrived, he discovered that they both listed the same return address on the receipt — they had come from the same distributor in China.Why would anyone spend hundreds of dollars for bags that are clearly labeled as fakes? Renee Richardson Gosline, an assistant professor of marketing at MIT, spent 2 1/2 years studying the habits of buyers of fake bags by following curbside shoppers and attending "purse parties," social events often hosted in homes, where fake bags are sold to guests. "The word 'replica' is almost indicative of a piece of art," she said. "Think of a replica van Gogh … People display fakes in their house proudly." Consumers who want to buy designer brands like Gucci, for instance, are willing to pay more even for replicas because of their high aspiration to the brand, she said.
Holmes has been involved in online counterfeit investigations since the mid-1990s, when the Web sites were still just HTML shopping lists of phony products. These online businesses reach the whole world — though it takes just a few cooperating individuals to run them. "Most attorneys don't get it," he said. "They think these websites are like Walmart. They're not. It's just a dude sitting in his living room."
Counterfeiters often obscure their information through complex server hierarchies, he said, so by the time designer firms take action against these Web sites, the counterfeiters have already moved on to another domain name.
And while most of these faux bags are made in China and Hong Kong, many site owners are in the U.S. Holmes estimates that about 25 percent of the peddlers are in fact suburban housewives, a phenomenon he noticed in 2002.
Between 2006 and 2008, his company pursued a Beverly Hills, Calif., housewife making between $100,000 and $300,000 a month from counterfeit-bag sales, an operation so blatant that she advertised in publications like OK! magazine and Rolling Stone. Just last week, he said, she and her husband were sentenced to six months in jail.
On March 1 in the Eastern District of California, a 48-year-old San Jose mother, Lan Tuyet Nguyen, was sentenced to five months in prison and five months' home confinement and ordered to pay $30,000 in restitution for trafficking in counterfeit purses, wallets and scarves. According to Assistant U.S. Attorney David Gappa, Nguyen's counterfeiting operation was her family's primary source of income.
In Holmes' experience, there's an apt metaphor for these cases.
"Think of cocaine," he said. "You'd expect a dealer to try and match the description of a kid on a street corner in a hoodie. So for counterfeit bags, you go to the housewives, the same women who sell Avon and Tupperware."

The memories have all faded a bit.
Some of the finer details have already been lost to the ongoing war. The one engaging my brain, the one I am slowly losing.
The faintest smell once retrieved the sharpest colors. Today, even a photograph cannot convince me of my existence in that very moment.
I suppose that older memories need sometimes fall away so to make room for the day's latest renderings, however temporary they too may be. Not unlike the air my lungs release so that I can fully breathe in again, one more time.
Surely memories make life that much sweeter.
But today –
today is life itself.

PRP injections
Each PRP injection will incur a fixed cost of $300. This is usually one joint/area.
If additional injections are required, this will incur a cost of an additional $300 per injection.
All PRP treatments are carried out in an operating theatre, are ultrasound guided and can be performed at time of consultation.

DVA Patients will have no out of pocket costs for the consultation. However as there is no medicare rebate available for the procedures DVA patients would need to pay the cost of the treatments. However there is a process for an application to be made to the DVA for treatment costs to be paid for by DVA on a case by case basis. Prior approval before the treatment must be sought in this case. Our clinic can submit this to the DVA only after the patient has had an initial consultation.

The city government says they are being pushed out for their own safety, after a recent deadly fire in a migrant settlement. But many migrants say the government is using the fire as an excuse to ramp up efforts to drive them out and ease pressures in a city whose population has already soared beyond 20 million people.
Beijing has set a goal of limiting its population to 23 million residents by 2020, while also making room to attract more higher-paid, university-educated professionals.
Despite such efforts, officials have so far failed to deter migrants from settling in the city, largely because Beijing still relies on them to be its cooks, couriers and cleaners.This is exactly the situation that the U.S. faces with undocumented immigrants. The economy is very reliant on them, and an increase in deportations would have very negative effects not just on the migrants themselves, but on local communities whose businesses would be suddenly shorn of needed workers. China, like the U.S., has to come to grips with the idea that you can't need undocumented immigrants and want to destroy their lives at the same time.

TSYS to Pay $2.4B for TransFirst, Building an Omnichannel Arsenal
The pressure on merchant acquirers to enable transactions in more channels for more merchant types is accelerating, and TSYS is turning to the M&A market to accelerate its digital diversification, announcing an agreement with Vista Equity Partners to acquire Vista portfolio company TransFirst for $2.35 billion in cash.
"Thirty percent of [TransFirst's] revenue is in the integrated payments space, and their e-commerce operation is bigger and more robust than ours," said M. Troy Woods, president and CEO of TSYS, adding e-commerce and integrated payments are the two fastest growing parts of the merchant acquiring business.
The purchase price of the TransFirst acquisition well exceeds the price of TSYS' 2013 purchase of prepaid card marketer NetSpend, a $1.4 billion acquisition that the processor described as "transformational" both for its scale and for being TSYS' first consumer-facing business.
TransFirst has more than 1,300 technology and referral partners in areas such as healthcare, integrated software vendors (ISVs), not-for-profit, referral banks, associations and e-commerce. The ability to offer integrated payments is considered a key element for merchant acquirers in the digital commerce age, and TSYS has also partnered with FPS plus to reach more health care merchants.
"[TransFirst] participate in some very attractive high growth markets," Woods said.
Traditional processors and acquirers are rapidly adding services to broaden their appeal to merchants, which are pressured to adopt EMV-chip card payments, new security technology and respond to mobile commerce's impact on shopping and transacting in different venues—a trend generally referred to as "omnichannel."
Card networks, traditional processors and terminal makers are all adding technology. Verifone, for example, has partnered with Microsoft and is piloting beacon technology to maintain its position in the terminal market. First Data, a more direct rival to TSYS, is also in the midst of a multi-year automation overhaul; just last week it update its mobile payments technology for the point of sale.
And TSYS has also been active. Last year it updated its chip card technology, and launched a data analytics tool to attract financial institutions.
TSYS' Board of Directors has approved the transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter pending regulatory approvals. Mark Pyke, TSYS' senior vice president and president of the TSYS merchant segment, will leave the company at the close of the transaction. John Slonsky, TransFirst's president and CEO, will assume Pyke's duties, according to a TSYS press release.
TransFirst has more than 235,000 small and medium sized businesses, which will extend TSYS' customer base to more than 654,000 merchant outlets, making it the U.S.'s sixth largest acquirer.
"It doubles our merchant business and doubles our revenue. We can pick up scale, which is what we wanted to do," Woods said. "And it puts us in a leadership position in merchant acquiring, in addition to our positions in processing and prepaid program management."
TSYS also reported earnings on Tuesday. For the year ending Dec. 31, the company reported earnings per share of $2.46, an increase of 25.5%; and income of $362.6 million, an increase of 31.8%. It projected full year 2016 earnings of $2.56 per share to $2.62 per share.

As prolific as Chris Tomlin is, it's no surprise that he's still putting out new music. I'm just getting around to listening to his newest cd (the past two weeks have been filled with midterms and papers here in seminary-land haha) but this is one of the singles from the cd that's been out for a while. Enjoy!
Endings and Beginnings
For a few months now I've been toying with the idea of reactivating my previous blog. It's been nine or so months since my last update there, which was itself an attempt to reactivate that blog after five months of dormancy. But thinking about it and thinking about it some more has only led to inaction rather than in action. I couldn't nail down all the reasons that I'm conflicted-desiring to write and create/curate but not actually doing anything about it. But last night, I think I finally made some progress.
The reason I haven't reactivated my old blog boils down to this: I currently find myself at the end of one particular season of life and at the beginning of another. The particulars are still in flux and I'll share them at a later point. But my previous blog is a specific product of the previous season of life that I was in. It's always been more worship/music focused and while that is still a part of who I am today…it isn't wholly representative. And that's my desire: a blog that is more holistic and that folds aspects of those previous seasons of life together with aspects of this upcoming one.
That's where this new blog comes in: a new blog for a new season. I'm not sure exactly how committed I am to the idea in general and this blog in particular, which is why I've gone with an option where I don't have to get my own domain BUT have the option to in the future. Goodbye Blogger. Hello WordPress.
So stay tuned. I'll still share thoughts on worship and new songs that I'm currently digging. However, current events, personal updates, theological musings, and more will join those thoughts. I'm excited for the journey and to share it in some small way too.
