Cargo regulations
We implement the IMO agreed international minimum requirements in Australia for all safety-related aspects of the handling and transport of cargoes and dangerous goods.
International maritime solid bulk cargoes (IMSBC) code 2018 edition
The 2018 edition of the IMSBC code is available from IMO publications. Check their publications catalogue for details.
Individual schedule for iron ore in 2016 edition
An erratum issued by the IMO includes the correct individual iron ore schedule, as amended by the 03-15 amendments.
If you have a hard copy of the 2016 IMSBC code please print the erratum and insert into your copy. If you purchased the e-reader file, you can access the erratum using the internet update or check for content update function on the IMO bookshelf.
The IMSBC code and erratum remain the responsibility of the IMO.
Verified gross mass of containers
The shipper is responsible for verifying the gross mass (VGM) of a container and stating this VGM on the maritime shipping documents. The shipper can use either:
- Method 1—weighing the fully laden (packed) container
- Method 2—weighing the cargo, and adding the weight of the empty container (tare).
Weighing equipment used must meet standards of accuracy prescribed in the applicable legislation.
All containers being shipped from Australia must have a declared VGM on the maritime shipping documents.
Containers without a VGM on the maritime shipping documents cannot be loaded.
Dangerous goods training for shore-side personnel
Shore-side personnel must receive general and function-specific training if they are engaged in the shipping activities of dangerous goods.
The activities include:
- packing dangerous goods in packages
- marking, labelling or placarding dangerous goods
- loading or unloading cargo transport units
- preparing transport documents for dangerous goods.
See chapter 1.3 of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code and section 21 of Marine Order 41 for details:
We recommend that all other shore-based staff engaged in the shipment of dangerous goods are trained to the standards specified in the IMDG code. We have 'accepted' a range of courses that may be used to comply with this requirement:
- Courses for cargoes and dangerous goods industry specific training packages
- Cargoes and dangerous goods electronic training
- Cargoes and dangerous goods non-electronic training face-to-face training packages
We publish the Dangerous, harmful and hazardous cargoes handbook third edition, which is both a training aid and a practical guide to compliance. It can be purchased from us for A$20 plus GST and postage, or for orders of 100 or more A$15 plus GST and postage.

These are the three main ingredients for all of the toppings: Baker's Sweetened Coconut, pecans, and Kraft Jet-Puffed Mini Marshmallows. Mixing different combinations of these up with other yumminess makes the toppings irresistible.
You can find the Baker's Coconut and Kraft Jet Puffed Marshmallows, along with all of the other ingredients for this dish, at Walmart. The coconut and marshmallows are on the same aisle, with the baking ingredients.
My mom and grandpa both boiled their sweet potatoes, however, I've found it much easier to bake the sweet potatoes instead. It makes them really easy to remove from their skins and mash. Complete recipe and directions below.
Topping nirvana: pecans, crushed corn flakes, brown sugar, and butter; coconut, brown sugar, pecans, and a pinch of salt; and of course, the original mini marshmallows.
- 4 pounds of sweet potatoes
- 1 stick salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 bag Kraft Jet-Puffed Mini Marshmallows
- 2 cups cornflakes cereal, crushed
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups Baker's Sweetened Coconut
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- pinch of salt
I'm dying with the cuteness of making these into mini casseroles.
Who wouldn't want their own personal dish?
What is your favorite topping for sweet potato casserole?
I may now be a coconut topping girl...it was really yummy and different!

Justin sent me this over the weekend, thought I'd show it off. Basically a rough preview for page 30. As I was uploading this I realized the book's only ["only"] 45 pages long, so we're coming into the home stretch. This actually got me back to looking at the script, and the itch to make changes hit pretty hard. But there really is a place you have to put your foot down and say "This is finished."
On Justin's end though, I'm really pleased. I love the dynamic way he sets up a page, even when people are just standing around talking [which happens a lot in my work], so now that he's getting to some of the action, I feel like he really gets to show off. It's also a lot of fun for me, getting to see Tana Cash chucking people through windows, one-handing shotguns, and doing her bad-ass, Brock Samson-style shit.
Talked to Kyle, he said he enjoyed my script [re: SMAF], but hadn't heard from any of the other people involved in the project. The whole Brainwrap crew runs things sort of committee style, and there are several new things they have prepped and ready to go, so it might be a little bit longer before I have any news on that front.
Also finished the first draft of my big freelance project Sunday night. Just waiting to hear back from the client now about whatever changes they'll want, and until then, without a new book to review, I guess my time's my own again.

Reminds me of Aaron Sorkin talking about David Fincher for Social Network. Fincher has some bold eye for visual style, while "I write people talking in rooms."
God I'm flattered by the Sorkin comparison. Even just as memory cue.
"My time's my own again." Dear God, what happened to our lives?
Hah. I don't know, Ian. Honestly, keeping my time my own has always been one of my major goals, so I guess I feel some accomplishment in getting back there.
I like to think we'll get there someday.

The Tuttz illustrated book is underway...
Rob and I have been working on the breakdowns and character development for the Tuttz illustrated book. I'll be busy roughing out the initial designs for what most of the cast will look like as Rob continues to develop the story and dialogue. We try to meet up every two weeks to keep things going and will have more updates soon. Here's a shot of the rough Tuttz manual and hopefully there will some real cover art coming down the pike.

- For other uses, see Gaetano.
The Gaetano Region was an outlying region of the Orion Colonies.
During the New Days of Orion history, a period of colonial expansion, great wealth and cultural blooming, a growing strength in the outer regions coincided with a weakening centralized government at Botchok, the homeworld. Many Colonies grew tired of paying taxes to Rigel and getting little back in exchange, and so minor disputes over tariffs and trade agreements escalated into full-scale corporate warfare. Some Colonies formally broke off relations with Botchok and declared their independence
The first of these were the Colonies of the Gaetano Region, which declared their independence in May 879 CE (reference stardate −12/7905). This triggered a war with the Botchok Planetary Congress (BPC). The BPC hired additional ships from the Anor, Guilpin and Sark Regions, but a lack of funds forced an end to combat. No formal peace was ever made, and taxes arriving at Botchok trickled to a halt.
Before 867 CE (stardate −12/67), all fifteen of the outermost regions had effectively seceded from the BPC, beginning the break-up of the Orion Colonies. (FASA RPG modules: The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge, The Orions: Book of Deep Knowledge)

There's Now A Tote Bag That Looks Just Like An Office Binder Clip, For Extreme Office Nerds
Date Published: 09/30/2019 3:31 PM
The clip bag is a purse or hand bag that looks just like a black metal binder clip from your office. Designed by Seattle based designer Peter Bristol, the clip bag is made from wool felt and aluminum tubing and is perfect for any office hermit or paper clip loving individual (I'm sure there's some sort of paper clip fan club out there somewhere).
Unfortunately the clip bag is just a concept for now but the website states that potential manufacturing of the clip bag is a potential for the future, so stay tuned, and be sure to check out more pictures at the designer's website. "The binder icon functions so well as a bag you can almost take it seriously".

Arguably one of the most popular Nepali models, Niti Shah, has entered Miss Nepal pageant this year. The 21-year-old made it through the audition this week in Kathmandu.
Shah who had entered the modelling industry in 2012 at the age of 16 is currently one of the most sought after models in Kathmandu. She first appeared on the cover of Teenz magazine, followed by Navyata; and has graced the covers of various such fashion and lifestyle magazines so far.
The journalism student at St. Xavier's took to her Facebook handle to announce her participation in the pageant on Wednesday.
All the contestants will go through various orientations and training over the next few weeks before the grand finale that is scheduled to take place on June 2nd at Hotel Annapurna in Kathmandu. Unlike previous years, the pageant will have four title winners from this year as a new title, Miss Nepal Asia Pacific for third runner up, has been added; and the title winner would be representing Nepal at Asia Pacific international pageant. Other three titles — Miss Nepal World for winner, Miss Nepal Earth for first runner up, and Miss Nepal International for second runner up — remain the same.

Grappling with dramas both epic and personal, from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to the "unspeakable misgivings of contentment," Eveningland captures with crystalline poeticism and perfect authenticity of place the ways in which ordinary life astounds us with its complexity. A teenaged girl with a taste for violence holds a burglar hostage in her house on New Year's Eve; a middle aged couple examines the intricacies of their marriage as they prepare to throw a party; and a real estate mogul in the throes of grief buys up all the property on an island only to be accused of madness by his daughters. These stories, told with economy and precision, infused with humor and pathos, excavate brilliantly the latent desires and motivations that drive life forward.
Eveningland is a luminous collection from "a writer of the first rank."
My take: 2 looks
I really, really wanted to like this book. An entire book of short stories from my home state was so compelling that I downloaded it immediately. The first story was engaging and I was enjoying it ... until the end. Then the second, third, fourth ... I began to see a pattern. The stories proved to be compelling and drew me in, but the endings of almost all of the stories in this collection were so abrupt as to be disappointing. There was so much more to be investigated, more story to be told, additional nuances to be explored. To be left flat at the end of each story left me feeling that the author had reached his word quota and had to end the story suddenly.
This one is not recommended. However, if you are looking for an excellent book of short stories, I recommend "The Paper Menagerie" by Ken Liu.
Many thanks to NetGalley for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

A New High for a Jodi Picoult Fangirl
Let me start from the beginning.
I have been traveling to the Bentley headquarters office in Exton, Pennsylvania quite often lately. Exton is about 35 miles outside Philadelphia, so there are a lot of opportunities in that area that I would not normally experience in Arab, Alabama.
Jodi Picoult making an appearance to sign copies of her latest book is one of them. A book that I had just read because I got an Advance Reader's Copy (ARC) in the summer. And where was Ms. Picoult going to sign these books? Not B&N in Center City Philly. Not in some hoity-toity private home on the Main Line. No! She was going to be in MY HOTEL in Exton!!
Unfortunately, I am in meetings all day, every day. There is no way I could sneak out; and, I even dangled a little bone in front of my boss, giving him the opportunity to say, "Yes, Carmen! Sneak out at some point and take advantage of this one-in-a-lifetime opportunity." No go.
I had talked about the event with the hotel staff since I arrived, and they knew how star-struck, fangirl I was. When I returned to the hotel after dinner on the evening of the event, there was a personalized signed copy, waiting for me with my name on a sticky note on the cover.
And I return to the beginning:
Marchon is the front desk manager, and he was the one responsible for getting this signed copy for me. And he refused to let me pay him for the book.
I don't know what else to say other than I am now a fangirl of both Jodi Picoult AND Marshon at Hilton Garden Inn in Exton, Pennsylvania. Oh, and Eeeeeek!

The Family Fang by Kevin Wilson
Mr. and Mrs. Fang called it art.
Their children called it mischief.
Performance artists Caleb and Camille Fang dedicated themselves to making great art. But when an artist's work lies in subverting normality, it can be difficult to raise well-adjusted children. Just ask Buster and Annie Fang. For as long as they can remember, they starred (unwillingly) in their parents' madcap pieces. But now that they are grown up, the chaos of their childhood has made it difficult to cope with life outside the fishbowl of their parents' strange world.
When the lives they've built come crashing down, brother and sister have nowhere to go but home, where they discover that Caleb and Camille are planning one last performance -– their magnum opus -– whether the kids agree to participate or not. Soon, ambition breeds conflict, bringing the Fangs to face the difficult decision about what's ultimately more important: their family or their art.
My take: 3 looks
I am not sure at all how I feel about this book. Well, I should be clear and say the "story" ... the "subject matter" ... the "outcome". The book was well-written. It has to be well-written to elicit this much emotion from the reader.
Caleb and Camille Fang are completely committed to their art, so much so that when they have two children, they are called "A" and "B", for Annie and Buster. Unfortunately for the two children, the art in this case is performance art.
Now, I didn't know much about performance art other than the examples of an artist eating his own feces, and an artist being crucified to the back of a Volkswagen. In the book, the art is best when it is forced on an unsuspecting public, making them a part of the piece, enhancing it with their reactions.
When Annie moves away to begin her own career, and then Buster does the same, the Fangs must make due with an abbreviated team, and it's just not the same.
The main slant of this book is the relationships between family members, expectations of parents for their children, and the long term effects of making children a part of an adult world. In the end, I was hurt and hopeful, sad and angry.
It's a short book, opened my eyes to the intricacies of performance art and its purpose, spurred me to research a few real-life artists, and made me think of the story long after I read the last page. Recommended.

Will her dog, who starts out as a problem, end up as solution?
Stay tuned to see whether or not I am chosen for any or all!

EXTRA police will be on patrol in Lowerhouses tonight - the end of a curfew.
The 9pm curfew order across Lowerhouses and Ashenhurst - set up to curb yobbish behaviour - ends tonight.
And to coincide with the end of the three-month operation, police patrols will be stepped up, to reinforce the message that trouble-making will not be tolerated.
Officers were called on to the estate in June by law- abiding householders living in fear of gangs of youths roaming the streets.
The police's powers of curfew and dispersal meant they could move on nuis- ance teenagers after 9pm if they looked intent on vandalism, abuse or intimidation.
If they refused, the suspects could be arrested.
Insp Dave Barnett said the past three months had been very successful.
He added that police would continue to carry on working with many other groups to make the area safer.
"Many agencies have come on board, such as Kirklees Neighbourhood Housing, neighbourhood wardens, schools and tenants' and residents' associations."
But he added:
"Just because the curfew expires doesn't mean parents can be let kids out."

Title : Jesus in the Talmud
Year : 2007
Link download : Schafer_Peter_-_Jesus_in_the_Talmud.zip
Introduction. This book is about the perception of Jesus of Nazareth, the founder of Christianity, in the Talmud, the foundation document of rabbinic Judaism in Late Antiquity. What do these two—Jesus and the Talmud— have in common? The obvious answer is: not much. There is, on the one hand, the collection of writings called the New Testament, undisputedly our major source for Jesus' life, teaching, and death, most of it written in the second half of the first century C.E.1 And there is "the" Talmud, on the other, the most influential literary product of rabbinic Judaism, developed over several centuries in its two versions in Palestine and in Babylonia (the first, the Palestinian or Jerusalem Talmud, was edited in fifthcentury Palestine, and the second, the Babylonian Talmud, reached its final form in the early seventh century in Babylonia). Both documents, the New Testament and the Talmud, could not be more different in form and content: the one, written in Greek, is concerned about the mission of this Jesus of Nazareth, who, regarded as the Messiah and the Son of God, was rejected in this claim by most of his fellow Jews, put to death by the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, and resurrected on the third day after his crucifixion and taken up into heaven; the other, written mostly in Aramaic, is a huge collection of mainly legal discussions that deal with the intricacies of a daily life conducted according to the rabbinic interpretations of Jewish law. Moreover, and here things become much more complicated, with the juxtaposition of "Jesus" and the "Talmud" bordering on an oxymoron, both stand in a highly charged and antagonistic relationship with each other. The Jewish sect triggered by Jesus in Palestine would eventually evolve into a religion of its own, a religion to boot that would claim to have superseded its mother religion and position itself as the new covenant against the old and outdated covenant of the people of Israel by birth. And at precisely the time when Christianity rose from modest beginnings to its first triumphs, the Talmud (or rather the two Talmudim) would become the defining document of those who refused to accept the new covenant, who so obstinately insisted on the fact that nothing had changed and that the old covenant was still valid. Yet strangely enough, the figure of Jesus does appear in the Talmud, as does his mother Mary—not in a coherent narrative, but scattered throughout the rabbinic literature in general and the Talmud in particular2 and often dealt with in passing, in conjunction with another subject pursued as the major theme. In fact, Jesus is mentioned in the Talmud so sparingly that in relation to the huge quantity of literary production culminating in the Talmud, the Jesus passages can be compared to the proverbial drop in the yam ha-talmud ("the ocean of the Talmud"). The earliest coherent narrative about Jesus' life from a Jewish viewpoint that we possess is the (in)famous polemical tract Toledot Yeshu ("History of Jesus"), which, however, took shape in Western Europe in the early Middle Ages, well beyond the period of our concern here (although, to be sure, some earlier versions may go back to Late Antiquity). ...

The blooming of flowers all over Taipei City celebrates the arrival of spring. The weather is getting warmer, and it's time for flower season! Starting with the Yangmingshan Flower Festival (陽明山花季), and followed by the Taipei City Azalea Festival (台北杜鵑花季) and Zhuzihu Calla Lily Festival (竹子湖海芋季), everyone can enjoy the colorful sea of flowers that greets springtime.
The Key to Predicting Azalea Blossoms
Azaleas are no strangers to Taipeiers, they can be found all along downtown streets and in the many parks. They are Taipei's official city flower, and have enjoyed a long relationship with this city. But as familiar as the azalea may seem, there are things about it that you and I might not be aware of.
According to Yu-Sen Chang (張育森), professor of the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, National Taiwan University (台灣大學園藝暨景觀學系), there are five kinds of azaleas in Taiwan: Taiwan's native azalea, which grows at mid to high altitudes; the Belgian Azalea, which has multiple petals, just like roses; the colorful Satsuki Azalea; the Kurume Azalea, which has smaller flowers and leaves; and the Hirado Azalea, which is common to Taipei. These varieties have their own shapes and growth features, but are all fun to see, and worthy of your attention.
How does one predict when a particular blossom will arrive? Chang lets us in on why "5.8mm" is the key. "The azalea blossoms in March, but buds form around the end of summer or the beginning of fall the previous year. When the outside temperature drops to create perfect conditions, the flower starts to bloom in response." Chang has studied azaleas for a long time and knows that when a bud reaches 5.8 mm in width, the temperature on that day can help predict when blossoms are likely to appear. This year, fluorescence should begin in early March, but it might be late due to all the cold snaps we've experienced this year. So – when the weather gets warmer, the blossoms will arrive, and we can all enjoy a colorful azalea feast!

A Floral Rendering in Watercolor Displays the Charms of Spring
The theme of the 2018 Taipei City Azalea Festival is: "Spring, Happiness, Love" – an invocation to the Goddess of Spring to bring good news and much happiness and love to this city. With that in mind, the world famous graphic designer, Qing-Yang Xiao (蕭青陽) was invited to design the festival's main visual effects.
Different from the coldly-toned designs of years past, Xiao employed watercolor to render flowers in a romantic vision of spring. Xiao hopes the beauty of his flowers will gain people's admiration, and make them feel like painting blossoms themselves. His text is formed by scripts decorated like wrapping paper patterns, suggesting that beautiful azaleas are wrapping up the city and decorating Taipei.
Discussing the inspiration he gets from azaleas, Xiao hums a song from his childhood: "In gentle March days, azaleas bloom on the hills and along the creeks, how beautiful...." Xiao has noticed that many elders still like to sing this song, and choose azalea stickers to send to their family and friends. This ably shows that the azalea is pleasing and familiar to elders – close to people's hearts and part of their daily blessings. In spring time, the azalea is just the perfect thing to share with people you love. Xiao's creation process in the run-up to this festival made him more interested in azaleas. "During the actual painting, I had many questions and wanted to learn more about this flower. And when I did learn more, I found even more beauty in it."

Flowers, Music, Picnicking – Enjoy a Happy Time!
Chu Pin-ze (朱品澤), Chief of the City Tourism Division of the Department of Information and Tourism (觀光傳播局城市旅遊科), says that by making the Azalea Festival more "localized, international and industrial," he hopes that increased numbers of people will come to enjoy the fun of the blossoms. This floral extravaganza starts on March 14th and features such events as speeches and tours hosted by Daan and Zhongzheng District Offices; the "Azalea Classical Music Festival" (杜鵑花古典音樂祭), held at Taipei Zongshan Hall (台北市中山堂) and Daan Park (大安森林公園); the "Happiness Carnival" (幸福嘉年華) market near Grace Baptist Church (懷恩堂) on Xinsheng South Road (新生南路); and the "Picnic Concert" (千人野餐音樂會) at Daan Park. These events are sure to deliver what the pretty little azalea symbolizes: "Happiness and Love" to our city.
In addition to participating in these events, you can also wander around and drink in the sea of azaleas at many spots, including the NTU campus, Daan Park, and along flowery downtown streets. You can take buses running along Zhonghua, Ren'ai, Xinyi and Xinsheng South Roads (中華路、仁愛路、信義路、新生南路) to view the gorgeous azaleas in the south part of town. In addition, the Festival has worked with the commercial districts of Gongguan (公館) and Shida (師大) to host the "Spend 100, Win a Flight Ticket!" shopping event. Why not combine blossom viewing, shopping and dining delights to create a wonderful spring adventure for you and your family!
In March, you can see graceful azaleas in Taipei, and find cherry blossoms and calla lilies in Shilin and on Yangmingshan. On warm spring days, go outdoors and enjoy the beautiful springtime!

Conjoint Statement by eurammon and the IIAR
Committed to natural refrigerants for the sake of sustainable, energy-efficient refrigeration and air-conditioning technology
Joint statement by eurammon, the European initiative for natural refrigerants, and the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR)
Given the global efforts being made to protect the climate, interest is increasingly focused on natural refrigerants, which have been used successfully in refrigeration technology for more than 100 years. eurammon, the European initiative for natural refrigerants, and the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR) bring leading global players from the refrigeration sector together with individuals and institutions in the field of natural refrigerants. Mutual cooperation and memberships have resulted in global networking with international associations and institutions. As centres of excellence for the use of natural refrigerants, the organisations are strengthened by the strong personal commitment of their members. Together, they develop innovative, future-viable solutions for refrigeration technology and forge ahead with respective implementation.
eurammon and the IIAR are committed to promoting worldwide acceptance and increased use of ammonia, carbon dioxide and other natural refrigerants. They assume social responsibility on behalf of an ecological industrial policy, support sustainable refrigeration technology management and the use of energy-efficient systems. Natural refrigerants have no ozone depletion potential and either no (ammonia) or only a negligible global warming potential. Their use also pays off in financial terms. The refrigerants are low-priced and readily available in large quantities. Their high efficiency has a positive impact on the operating costs of the systems in which they are used. This includes low-cost disposal of natural refrigerants at the end of a machine's service life.
eurammon and the IIAR pursue extensive know-how transfer regarding the properties and possible applications for natural refrigerants. As information platforms, they support users, consulting firms and manufacturers as well as representatives from business and politics, providing extensive information material, training courses and advice.
Solutions with natural refrigerants have proven to be environment-friendly, economical and efficient. Among other applications, they are used for refrigeration and air-conditioning in buildings, in the food industry, in sport and leisure facilities, in the chemical-pharmaceutical industry and in the automotive sector.

Low-Level Waste Disposal Licensing
Under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, NRC can relinquish authority for regulation of radioactive materials to the States upon request by them and a demonstration that the State has a regulatory program that is adequate and compatible with NRC's. NRC exercised this option for low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities. NRC Agreement States license all operating low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities in the United States, currently three facilities. Licensees may apply to an Agreement State for periodic renewal of a license.
For additional information on Licensed facilities, see the following:
Roles of the NRC and Agreement States
In order for an Agreement State to license a low-level waste disposal facility, the State regulations for low-level waste disposal must be compatible with NRC's regulations in 10 CFR Part 61. NRC also conducts periodic reviews of Agreement State programs, as part of NRC's Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program, to determine if they continue to be adequate and compatible with NRC's. If requested, NRC provides assistance to the Agreement States on low-level radioactive waste disposal issues.
If NRC were to receive a license application from a non-Agreement State for a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility, NRC would review the application in accordance with the procedural and technical requirements in 10 CFR Part 61.

A History of Visual Voicemail:
January 2007 – Steve Jobs demonstrates Visual Voicemail on the iPhone.
11 July 2008 - iPhone 3G released in Australia.
26 May 2009 – Vodafone Australia activates Visual Voicemail on the iPhone
22 March 2011 – Telstra partially activates Visual Voicemail and charges a premium.
22 July 2011 – I switch from Vodafone to Telstra, but no Visual Voicemail.
I am so happy to be with Telstra. I've been with Vodafone for over 15 years but since the company had an implosion, I've been glad to escape from them. Now happily on the Telstra network I can: Make phone calls; Receive phone calls, Use data successfully.
The Telstra network works infinitely better than Vodafone's network, no matter how much advertising Vodafone undertakes to tell me they are fixing their network.
The one problem I have with Telstra however is their attitude to iPhone Visual Voicemail. Today I have visited the premier Telstra store in the Sydney CBD where the two Telstra employees initially pretended that they don't know what Visual Voicemail is. The best they were able to help me was to give me a free-call number to Telstra support. Calling this number led to a ten minute wait while the Telstra employee unsuccessfully tried to activate Visual Voicemail after initially pretending that it didn't exist.
A short time later I was in the Chatswood CBD
and visited the Telstra store in the Westfield shopping centre. The Telstra representative initially pretended not to know what Visual Voicemail was and wanted to set me up with video telephone calls. After he accessed all three computers at the counter, he also suggested I ring another number. As I was talking to him, he used his iPhone 4.
I called the number and after 7 minutes of waiting and again explaining what Visual Voicemail is, they asked me to reset my phone, which dropped the call. I called back and educated yet another Telstra employee (this one took 14 minutes) but they were still unable to provide Visual Voicemail on my iPhone.
I find Telstra's attitude to Visual Voicemail odd, having been announced five years ago, yet of six Telstra employees I spoke to today, none had heard of Visual Voicemail (or maybe they have been instructed by management to pretend that they don't know what it is?)
Finally I made another two calls, this time to Telstra's iPhone support section. Again I educated them on what Visual Voicemail is and after waiting on hold for over 15 minutes, they said that Visual Voicemail is "not applicable to my phone".
Um… hello? I've been using Visual Voicemail for the last two years. Every time a call drops out or can't make it through on the lousy Vodafone network, customers can leave a message for me and I can easily see the message in the list, play it whenever I like, pause it, and call the person back. So, don't insult me saying that it is "not applicable" to my phone.
The end resolution was that if I had a 12 month contract with Telstra, then I could pay an extra fee of $5 per month to have Visual Voicemail (however you must not call it that – you must refer to it by the Telstra branded trademark they invented), however if you are a customer who chooses to have a month by month contract with Telstra, then you cannot have any apple pie.
I am dumbfounded that all Telstra employees I encountered have their heads in the sand regarding Visual Voicemail and that Telstra only implemented Visual Voicemail at all this year. Is it because easy access to my voicemail messages would take away voicemail revenue? Or is it because of some secret fee that Telstra would have to pay to Apple? Is it a serious case of Not Invented Here? Or is it just corporate apathy? Why does Telstra have such an attitude against the most innovative voice messaging system of the last 20 years?
So, when you switch from the Vodafone or Optus networks to Telstra to enjoy things like making and receiving phone calls successfully, be ready to go back to the stone age of "press 1, press 2, press 3" voicemail and paying a fee every time you access it.
My suggestion is to divert your busy and unanswered calls to a VoIP service such as PennyTel. For a few cents, you can have voicemail messages recorded and then emailed to you as an audio attachment. The email subject line includes the caller ID of the person who left the message. If you use Push email on your iPhone you can get the notification almost immediately and at basically no cost other than using a tiny bit of your data plan.
But, Telstra, I do love your network.

Gibson Group won an international design competition for the development of an NZ$30 million visitor interpretation centre on the site of an important discovery of Neanderthal remains in St-Césaire, France.
Gibson International Ltd was responsible for all the interactive, immersive and educative exhibitions.
The basis of our concept was to focus on the personal story of the life and evolutionary context of the young female Neanderthal found buried there, and to do this by a controlled visit combining immersive group experiences with innovative interactive multi-media experiences to explore and interpret the archaeological artefacts.
While popularist in their expression, the exhibitions had to also be scientifically accurate and educative, and we worked closely with professors Yves Coppens (College de France) and Bernard Vandermeersh (University of Bordeau).
The whole centre has been designed to ensure that the complex world of scientists is made accessible to all. Children and adults will have a personalised experience through a 'smart' entry ticket. This personalised ticket will gather information on the visitor according to their nationality, age group, gender etc and customise their interactive experiences accordingly.

HCG 3.0 Keto Assisted Protocol
is the exclusive keto protocol which combines hCG and keto. This protocol pushes the boundaries of the traditional Simeons original hCG protocol.
You are not dreaming Hcg and keto have married to become 3.0 Keto assisted weight loss protocol. This protocol uses your age, weight and height to find personal macros designed specifically for you. This protocol also uses calorie cycling and intermittent fasting to accelerate weight loss results. What kind of results can you expect? The average person looses 17 lbs in 23 days. Any food is fine as long as you keep away from gluten, grains, starch and sugar. Some may be able to have berries. This will forever change the way you think about the hCG diet.
To make this diet and maintenance even more enjoyable, enjoyable I have created some amazing recipes. They range from savory and sweet breads, savory and sweet scones to bacon cinnamon rolls, biscotti, shortcake, burger and sandwich buns and lemon curd shortbread. The beauty of these recipes is they are are very low carb and low calorie. Some are higher fat, some higher protein and all are amazing recipes. Check out my recipe bundless to find out more about them and check out my Facebook group to find out more about how the diet works and how you can receive exclusive one on one coaching.

Oh, and why don't you have a listen to the album whilst you give this a read?
Thanks for taking the time to speak with Dash 'n' Verve. We're really excited about the release of your debut full length album 'Who Am I' and to get some insight into the process, experiences and journey that led to its creation.
A debut album is a milestone for any artist so congratulations. How do you feel now that it's finally release day?
To be very honest, I feel relieved. Putting out a record is such an insane process. I'm in a lucky position to have amazing partners on board who make sure that everything runs smoothly and accordingly to our plans. From the very beginning, I had a clear vision of how I wanted this album to turn out – from the production to the artwork and the visuals. I've been working on this for pretty much two years. This record means the world to me and I'm very excited to finally set it free.
We're nearly 18 months on from the release of your debut solo EP 'Free'. Is your new album a continuation of some of the stories you told on that EP or did you set out to take on a completely new set of subjects?
I would say that the themes are quite similar, but what's changed is the angle. The EP was more about all the memories and feelings that I internalised for a long time. That's why, sonically speaking, it's edgier and darker. My full length sets new values for me and hopefully, for those who will listen to my music too. Values such as consciousness, intellect, carefulness and fair judgment.
You share a lot about your own personal experiences and vulnerabilities on this album. On the track 'To You' in particular you expose with complete honesty the emotions and hopes associated with a situation most of us can associate with. Was it challenging being that open in the lyrical content of the songs or was it a cathartic process setting those thoughts free?
Whenever I'm writing a song, I try to not hold back. After all, it's a song – words wrapped in melodies, what can go wrong? Appearing vulnerable and honest is a choice. We live in a world where people try to pose as if they have mastered life, in some weird, TV soap kind of way. You go on social media – everybody is super tall, mega rich, they have their own companies that they run while on holiday at some picturesque sandy beach. And while you can tell that most of it is faked, you still bite it and try to live up to some made up standards and expectations. As opposed to that, what I'm trying to do is get inspiration from simply being human and learning to treasure imperfection. Not in a spiritual, "love thyself" kind of way, but in the sense of agreeing that if we were flawless, we'd be robots and that would be boring. Perhaps my record isn't perfect – however, I think it is perfectly emotional. If you think of it that way, singing out loud, voicing my thoughts and worries can be very cathartic, indeed.
Whilst the songs come across as very personal, we were definitely able to relate to a number of the topics you tackle on the album. Did inspiration for some of these tracks come from observations of other people (either in person or in the media) and the situations they find themselves in?
Both. For 'Who Am I' is about somebody waking up at a refugee camp, as weird as it may sound. The last thing they remember is that they were injured. They don't remember anything else. All they know is that they woke up in a room. They were surrounded by strangers – nobody spoke their language and so they were very frustrated and confused. When reading about the refugee "crisis" and the "camps" (what terrible wording, really), these were exactly the thoughts that came up to my mind. Existentialism, questions. "Who am I?" "Where am I?" People nevertheless, however, seen as second class citizens by some. Words can't express my sadness and anger for and addressed to all those who still preach that we're different from each other. In the safety of our western world, we haven't experienced the sorrow of war for quite some decades. We assume it to be terrible; we care about it for a moment and then we forget. That's also the reason why 'Who Am I' sounds so distant and strange – almost from a different planet. At least, that was what I was aiming for.
But, it's not all gloomy and dark. For example, 'To You' is about finding love. It's about finding that one person that you can imagine spending the rest of your life with. That's a song that is inspired by and dedicated to my husband. It's very personal and at the same time not, because I believe that many people had similar experiences to me, when it comes to relationships. Real love (whatever that is – each and every one of us has different definitions for it) in contrast to flaky romance – that's what 'To You' is about.
On 'Millennial Girl' you start by talking about wanting to distance yourself "…from attachments, [that] have only brought you tears and pain, yet no advancement" before you tell us in the chorus that "[you] buy people's stuff you see online".
The thoughts and actions you describe there are quite contradictory but an accurate reflection of the way many people feel and act in today's Western society. Are there any aspects of the society you have grown up in and you see around you that you believe are main triggers for people experiencing this kind of confusion?
I love to say that I'm making sarcastic pop and 'Millennial Girl' is a pure piece of it. My generation tried to think out of the box. Not everything that we came up with was successful and that's the reason why everybody hates us. We even hate ourselves, to be honest. Yet, we've been quite creative and pacifistic – we never started wars like others did. The millennials are likely to be part of a "community", know what they're eating and wearing and who to vote for. Do they go to vote? – that's a different question. Because they could argue for days about the futility of the capitalistic democracy most countries practice, with their focusing on money rather than investing in their own people.
Most millennials are freelancers or self-employed – the exact groups of people that the current political systems beat up maniacally. We were brought up to become great thinkers and make our dreams come true. Yet nobody told us that, to make that happen, we'll never be able to afford our own house or to retire. I guess all I'm trying to say is that my generation has been fundamentally failed and unfortunately, there's not much to do for that. Recent studies have proven that one in five millennials suffers from depression and anxieties. That's a pretty high number, but nobody cares. And that's exactly where the frustration begins. It's deeply rooted and well masked with moustaches, big glasses, and funny haircuts. As if we're trying to hide from what's chasing us, but always in good humour.
You have created a fantastic range of soundscapes with some great details on the album (we love the toy box sound that emerges in the chorus of 'A Letter From Urban Street' and the "digital fly" that buzzes around 'ForgetRegret'). Are there any interesting sources for these sounds?
Thank you so much for your kind words. To be honest, all sounds are a result of an impatient twiddling of knobs while sitting on my chair or in bed (where I often write my songs). I wish that I had a better answer to this question, I really do.
You recorded and co-produced this album with George Priniotakis at Artracks Studio, Athens. How long did the whole process take from hitting record for the first time to settling on the final mix?
I'm pretty sure that it took roundabout two months. And that's because the production of 'Who Am I' took place amidst the holiday season and holidays are sacred in Greece. George is the quickest and greatest producer in the world for me.
Was there significance for you being in your hometown to record and produce this album given that it was written in Berlin whilst thinking of Athens?
Absolutely. Artracks was the studio where everything started for me. I've been in and out of Artracks for a little less than a decade. I always say that George knows my voice better than my own mother. It was really important for me to go back and record my debut at a studio that I consider my second home, in a city where I'm surrounded by family and friends.
Do you have plans to tour this album and if so do you have a vision for what the live arrangement will look like?
There are no plans for live shows at the moment. And that's by choice. I feel that I need to clear that up because whenever I mention that I won't tour this year, people feel sorry for me for not getting booked – so yeah, that's not the case. I guess abstaining from touring is one of those silly revolutions of mine, that's harming myself more than those I'm revolting against. I'm willing to take the risk though, mostly for the sake of my mental health and peace. You see, I'm 27 years old. I started my professional career in music when I was 19-20. I've reached a point where I simply deny to play live shows that will only pay me with beer, cold catering and / or exposure.
Live entertainment and touring promote a lifestyle that's eating up most of the artists out there. I don't know if you're aware of the study that was initiated and ran by the University of Westminster where they proved that (of the people they talked to) 70% of the British music industry (including artists, producers, music professionals etc) suffer from depression, addictions, and all sorts anxieties. As a person whose mental illness got also triggered by my experiences within the industry, I choose to find different ways to connect with the people who would come to my shows than supporting a sickening system.
Despite some of the challenging subject matters you wrestle with on the album, you manage to maintain an air of positivity and hope that all will be ok. Where do you find hope day to day and what can we all do to share this hope with you?
The people around me give me hope and all those who dig a little deeper. It's so very important to not fall for the nonchalance of ignorance. I'm always happy to discuss with people that I may disagree with – I want to understand, I don't want to oppose. When I meet people who are of the same openness, my heart grows a bit bigger. We can all learn so much from each other when focusing on what brings us closer than on our differences.
We absolutely love the sonics on the title track 'Who Am I', and the visuals in Oirot Buntot's video capture the complexity and confusion of the song's subject perfectly. Can you tell us about the development of the concept for the video and how your collaboration with the director worked?
Oirot Buntot's video is a dream! It was initially filmed for another song and I'm so grateful to that other band for deciding to go for other visuals. I explained to you that the song itself is about disorientation and feeling that you "don't belong". Oirot Buntot's script fitted like a glove.
A girl wakes up in a creepy place, gets freaked out by all those weird figures, accepts her fate and becomes one of them. I was so happy to work with Oirot – we're so like-minded and he's so amazingly talented. And imagine that 'Who Am I' is just his first video. We edited it to fit the song and we changed the colours a bit, but it was by far the most relaxed video release I ever had. All because of Oirot's professionalism and positivity. I love that guy!
You've released both "Free' and 'Who Am I' on your own EraseRestart label. Did you always have ambitions of being your own label boss?
Not really. I have to admit that before deciding to go solo, I was pretty spoiled. I was used to always having other people around who were taking care of the boring, business stuff. I decided to set up my own label as part of an effort to have as much control as possible when it comes to my work. It felt more like a necessity than an ambition.
Can you tell us about some of the challenges you have faced in running your own label?
I terribly underestimated the workload and the responsibilities that come with running your own label. Also, people tend to ignore my newsletters because they're "not familiar with the label and the artist". What is more, I'm not really connected with people – I don't have friends within the industry. I lead a pretty quiet life away from parties and concerts where the music professionals tend to gather and socialise. Not being one of them has made it harder for me, I think. I don't mean to complain though. Everybody seems to be struggling and I totally understand why some artists sign with bigger labels. Although, unfortunately, a signing isn't a guarantee of success.
Obviously there must also be up sides of not having anyone else to report to and please. What have the biggest benefits of flying solo been for you?
Having control over my work has been the greatest thing. It's very empowering and fulfilling knowing that my husband and I have worked every single bit of each release. It's been a very educational process and I wouldn't change a single bit. I advise all artists to take matters into their own hands – nobody can represent you better than your own self. Plus, financially speaking and after the first years of investment, it'll pay off for you.
Now the question we've been itching to ask you all interview. Has making this album helped you get any closer to finding answers to the questions you had been asking yourself?
I think so. At least up to the point that I accepted that I am an ever-changing being who can't and won't be just one thing. We're always running after titles, why do we do that?
This is a pop record that is different, an ode to the humanly deep need for security and love. It's an album about fears, hopes, memories, dreams – and love. Inspired by Berlin, her Greek roots and personal struggles.
'Who Am I' is out today on Sarah P.'s own EraseRestart record label. Grab yourself a copy and maybe you'll be able to find your own answers to those big questions in the sounds of her songs.

To celebrate the launch of Tummyfish, my family and I attended a grand celebration with Nestlé Middle East and Motivate publishing at Wild Wadi in Dubai.
Tummyfish is the most genius app you can ever download for your little ones!
The aim of this new app is to get our children to drink more water. It is part of the United for Healthier Kids movement. Nestlé is all about nurturing healthier generations. Something that is VERY close to my heart!
Nestle is striving to teach our children healthy habits from a young age which will then be carried on throughout their life.
- More Movement: Being active is not only important for health, but for children to develop their motor skills, decision-making, attention and teamwork abilities. Regular physical activity is part of a healthy lifestyle where any amount and any type of exercise are better than none.
- More Water: Water is best for calorie-free hydration and controlling the body's temperature – and is especially important for children who are physically active or live in hot climates. Parents should encourage children to drink adequate amounts of water.
- More Fruits & Vegetables: Children should be encouraged to have a varied, nutrient-rich diet based on the different food groups. The United for Healthier Kids program emphasizes variety such as offering vegetables and fruits as snacks, in side dishes and incorporated into main meals.
- More Managed Portions: Helping children select the right amount of food, in the correct proportions, instills healthier eating habits. United for Healthier Kids communicates age-appropriate portions to parents.
What is Tummyfish? This cute yellow fish is a "virtual pet". It encourages our little ones to drink more water! The initiative behind Tummyfish is to influence our child's behavior in a positive way, encouraging them to drink their recommended daily amount of water.
Nestlé uses a storybook to tell the tale of a fish that finds a safe haven inside a child's tummy. The book goes hand-in-hand with a groundbreaking app. Once you have finished reading the book, you can bring your pet to life by downloading the app. The app allows your child to monitor their very own Tummyfish. The aim is to keep their new friend happy and healthy by consuming the recommended daily amount of water.
My favorite thing about Tummyfish is that it encourages children to replace sugary drinks with water instead! Ruby generally only drinks water with an odd glass of milk here and there so it's not a big issue with her. However…my son Nate loves apple juice! Since using the app though…his drink of choice is now water! How amazing is that!
Tummyfish, you guessed it…is a fish who swims in your child's belly. It gets happier when your child drinks plenty of water and sad and slow when it does not get enough water. It also becomes ill looking when your child drinks sugary drinks and juices. Nestlé wants water to be your child's number one beverage of choice to hydrate with.
The app gives you the option of setting timers on your phone to help remind you/your child to hydrate. I specifically chose morning, after school (during homework) and after eating dinner.
Did you know that water is essential for practically all of the body's functions? Dehydration throughout the day may negatively impact cognitive functions. Children may be at greater risk for dehydration than adults for several reasons, one of them being that children often do not voluntarily drink enough water during physical activity.
Here are some tips to help you stay on top of your children's water consumption habits:
- Know the right amount: 1600ml for 4-8 year old & 1900ml-2100ml for 9-13 year old. This is only a guideline, every child is unique and so are their body's requirements
- Monitor hydration: You can asses this through the color of their urine. Clear urine colour means your child is well hydrated. Darker urine colour, means less hydrated
- Be a role model: Encourage your kids to drink water regularly. Make sure to drink water in front of your children . Make drinking water fun by using funky straws and cups!
"Hydration is particularly important for children as they need more water during the day for many reasons among which are: their fast growth rate, higher water percentage of their body, and being generally more active than adults," said Dr. Carla Habib Mourad, Clinical and Community nutritionist and the Nutritional Behavior Change Expert for United for Healthier Kids. "Children usually don't ask for water as the first option when they are thirsty and parents need to make it available and fun for them to ask for."
Join the movement and download Tummyfish from the App Store or Google Play to witness this truly unique experience!

Former Army staff sergeant Clint Romesha, who was awarded the Medal of Honor at the White House on Monday, has declined the first lady's invitation to sit in her box on Tuesday night during the State of the Union address.
Clint Romesha told CNN he will watch the speech with friends from his former unit and his wife.
"I've done some soul searching," he said. "As much as a great honor it would be to be a guest of the first lady, it's also kind of hard to break away from the friends and the family and all the great guys here."
The White House released the full guest list for Michelle ObamaMichelle LeVaughn Robinson ObamaMichelle Obama releases her voting playlist Obama to young voters: Create 'a new normal in America' by voting for Biden Obama hits trail to help Biden, protect legacy MORE's box on Tuesday afternoon. Guests of the first lady are often pointed out by the president in his remarks.
They include a teacher from Sandy Hook Elementary School, military veterans, and a 102-year-old woman who waited three hours to vote:

Police Lt. Brian Murphy of Oak Creek, Wis., was the first to arrive at the scene during August's Sikh temple shooting. He took 15 bullets when he confronted the shooter.
Sergeant Carlos Evans lost both legs and his left hand in Afghanistan. He met the first lady at Walter Reed Medical Center and later toured the White House, where President Obama signed his prosthetic arm.
Desiline Victor of Miami is a 102-year-old woman who was told on Election Day that wait times were six hours. After she waited three hours, poll workers had her come back at a later time and she cast her ballot.
College student Alan Aleman, is an illegal immigrant who used the administration's Deferred Action for undocumented youth to go to school.
Also in the first lady's box are registered nurse Menchu de Luna Sanchez of New Jersey, who helped care for at-risk infants during Hurricane Sandy; iTriage founder Peter Hudson; Military Partners and Families Coalition founder Tracey Hepner; Gov.
