All-new Extras
Want more value, choice and control with your extras cover? Well, we've redesigned our extras to give you just that.
A simple guide to extras insurance and how it works.
Extras insurance, also known as general treatment cover or ancillary cover, helps cover the cost of everyday health care services that Medicare doesn't generally pay a benefit towards. These are things like a visit to the dentist, optometrist or physio.
If you're a high income earner, having extras insurance will not help you avoid the Medicare Levy Surcharge. You will only be exempt from the Medicare Levy Surcharge if you have an appropriate level of hospital insurance.
Medicare generally doesn't pay benefits for extras services. That means without extras insurance, if you went to an extras provider like a dentist, you'd have to pay the full cost of that treatment out of your own pocket.
Extras insurance policies generally fall into three levels of cover: basic, medium and top. Each level of cover includes a different number of services. The higher the level of cover, the more services you can claim on. Depending on your level of cover and the policy you choose, you may have to pay an out-of-pocket when you receive treatment.
If you're buying extras insurance for the first time or you're upgrading your policy, you may need to serve a waiting period. A waiting period is a set amount of time during which you can't claim benefits. All health funds have waiting periods. They exist to stop people from joining, claiming and leaving without contributing premiums to the health fund.
The services covered and the amount you can claim depend on your level of cover and the type of extras insurance policy you select. Common extras services include:
There are some situations where Medicare will provide a benefit for an out-of-hospital service that health insurance doesn't cover. For example, a visit to a doctor outside of hospital, like a GP, will never be covered by health insurance, no matter what fund you're with – that's covered by Medicare.
Common situations where Medicare provides a benefit where health insurance doesn't include:

Last year, students enrolled in LBS' Master of Business Information Management and Systems (MBIMS) designed a digital twin inspection tool as part of the subject Business Intelligence Project Analysis and Design (BUS5BPD) in semester 2, 2018. The project was for Deloitte, and the app had to be compatible with Apple technology. This project continued during semester 1, 2019 for the subject Business Intelligence Project Implementation (BUS5BPI).
The project was again for the Australian Marine and Ship Services, a fictitious company. However, instead of creating a digital twin inspection tool, the scope was changed to creating a 5-modular-inspection tool app using Xcode/Cocoapods with connection to SAP Cloud Platform. Xcode is an integrated development environment for macOS containing a suite of software development tools while CocoaPods allows developers to easily integrate 3rd party frameworks into their projects. The 5 modules were:
- Data Download/Upload
- Data Entry and Image Capturing
- Bar Code/Geographic Location
- Inspector's Dashboard
- Supervisor's Dashboard
Red vs Blue Team
The students split into teams (red vs blue) and started a competition to build the mobile Ship Inspection tool. There was a total of five red teams competing against five blue teams and each team developed each module.
The teams had to start with the Requirements Analysis of the 5-modular-inspection tool app and compile inter-dependencies of the modules to one another. Then, they designed each module which later was be integrated in one app and installed in an iPad Mini.
Lectures, seminars and workshops
The subject was coordinated and delivered by Dr Petrus Usmanij and Naren Shanbhaq from La Trobe Business School. Although most lab sessions and lectures were held at LTU Melbourne Campus, some of the seminars were delivered at the Deloitte Training Centre (550 Bourke Street, Melbourne). Deloitte also delivered a Design Thinking Workshop. Furthermore, the teams were trained and mentored by Senior Consultants from SAP, Apple and Deloitte, particularly in the coding for the development of each module. All project documents such as the planning document and blueprint were reviewed by LBS staff and Deloitte consultants.
The results
Very few students had coding experience, but both teams put together a well-designed app. The red team successfully connected the 5-modular-inspection tool app to the SAP Cloud Platform, while the blue team used another alternative cloud platform namely Firebase in their development. Ultimately, the teams presented their work during an evening hosted by Deloitte at their office in Melbourne. After the presentations and Q&A sessions, the red team was selected as the top team based on app creation and cloud connectivity, and was awarded prizes by Deloitte.
"We are very proud that this partnership has provided so much value to La Trobe and its students and look forward to continuing this initiative."Jesse Millar, Manager at Deloitte

ACT Public Libraries, Canberra, Keeping warm, kids in Canberra, libraries, museums, Visit Canberra, winter entertainment, winter hideouts
Even with its blue sunny skies, let's be clear – Canberra's winters can get pretty nippy. On days of grey skies and drizzles when you have little ones in tow, even if they do belong to someone else, it pays to have a couple of indoor (read: warm) venues to turn to for relief. When the energy level starts to spike, the cooped up craziness hits fever pitch, and small, squealing small people become possessed banshees, it's time to make an escape.
That's why it's amazing to live in a city of museums and libraries. Cast aside any notions you might harbour about museums just dangling skeletons from ceilings and housing dusty things in glass boxes. They are marvellous places which think about kids and provide educational, interesting and warm spaces, and usually for free. Winning, Canberra.
Here are five of my favourites.
PlayUp is a hidden treasure at the Australian Museum of Democracy, and is all about getting the kids involved. There's room after room of activities and entertainment: chalk boards, craft tables, foam blocks, shelves of books to be read in colourful beanbags, puppet shows to be created, and culinary delights to be cooked in the kaleidescope cubby. The changing exhibitions are based on the United Nations' Convention on the rights of the child, so the kids are absorbing important stuff without even knowing it. Currently showing is a shelter theme, which in practical kid-terms means they get to let their imagination run wild and play house with the finest of play items. It also means they trash their house instead of yours, and everyone is happy.
Grab a coffee on the way in or out at the Terrace Cafe (but don't take it into PlayUp – they don't like that because it gets messy), or if they kids are older take part in one of the Museum's other tours and events or play dress ups next door to the Play Up room. Who doesn't love donning a cape and crown every now and then?
Cost: Free after $2 adult or $1 child entry (over 5 years) to Old Parliament House.
The National Gallery has a changing playroom, based on current exhibitions, where kids are encouraged to take part, explore with their hands and get creative. The current one based on the work of contemporary Indigenous artist, Reko Rennie, is an explosion of colour and pattern (often a traditional diamond) and is on until 3 December. There's shapes and stamps and drawing on ipads, and you can even inadvertently take a photo of yourself to include in said artwork and somehow have it arrive on your email. That was a surprise.
I'm a bit sad I missed the first one based on the Versailles exhibition as I would have fancied being a queen for the day, but that's what you get when you snooze.
Watch their Kids and Families webpage for other kids' events, especially during school holidays.
Cost: Free, all ages, kids must be accompanied so don't even think about dumping them and going to have a calm look around the gallery by yourself. Open 10-5pm.
It's perhaps a strange concept taking small children to a place which remembers our sullied war history, past and present, and honours those who took part. Part of me wants to protect them from the horrid reality, another wants to cultivate their respect and eventual understanding and compassion. But the War Memorial takes its social responsibility very seriously and the telling is done with care and concern for the young.
The memorial has special activities during school holidays, and a changing program of other kid-centric stuff happening. Take for example, the special 30-minute Story Time for preschool kids (big brothers and sisters welcome) on Fridays at 10.30 am, on from 7 July to 25 August where storytellers bring tales to life with puppets. Or check out the Discovery Zone where kids get to climb in a helicopter or wander through a submarine, or be cast back to the days of family life during the world wars. Still getting my head around the war concept though and taking care not to make the whole thing a big adventure, so be open to follow up discussions.
Grab a coffee on your way out at Poppy's cafe on the grounds.
Underneath that soaring orange arch at the edge of Lake Burley Griffin lurks our very own national museum dedicated to telling stories through objects and words. There are many interesting items to wander through, though holding the attention of the very young is more difficult. For the older kids 5 to 13 years, the dedicated and aptly named kids' space, Kspace, offers an interactive screen-based journey back to a time past, all while in the guise of your own bespoke time-travelling robot. Best for small groups (for teams) but you can fly solo if you want. It was a bit ambitious for Miss 3 who was happier to roam (run) around the outside Garden of Dreams, but that defeats the purpose of finding indoor spaces on winter days, doesn't it?
Like all good Canberra museums, the NMA pays special attention to school holiday times with lots of interesting stuff on offer. Check out their events page for what' coming up.
Cost: Free, open 9am to 5pm daily
It seems no one tells you to shush any more at libraries. Not only do they want you to visit and borrow books, they want you to have fun and participate, especially if you're a kid. Libraries have a whole range of cool stuff like Giggle and Wiggle – songs, stories, games and fun for 0-2 year olds, Story Times for 3 to 5 year olds, and a plethora of activities during the school holidays.
And even if a rainy day doesn't coincide with an event, you can also pop in anytime for an outing or bit of reading time. Or you can browse the books, DVDs and music and let the little ones pick out some things to take home for later moments of craziness, perhaps just before dinner time.
And, you guessed it – it's all free! Perhaps with the exception of some school holiday activities, and not accounting for library overdue fines if your little one revels in hiding CDs down air vents or similar.
So Canberrans, cast aside those fears of rainy days aside. You are saved.
Whoever said public institutions were boring?

Crash or Freeze when using Selections
seafreak62 posted a topic in Affinity on iPad QuestionsAll, While using Selections the I run into multiple problems which occur after initial selection. 1. Trying to drag around the canvas to refine the selection by using the any of the Selections tools and the "marching ants line" disappears and the program will either crash or act like no selection was made. Sometimes panning around the canvas will bring things back but it is hit-or-miss. 2. After refining selection to mask, New Layer with mask or New Layer the a haze appears on the mask layer. This looks like a blur has been applied with streaks all over the canvas. 3.Cannot make selection without first creating a New Pixel Later. The Selections acts as if there is no information to select until the pixel layer is created and then the layer to make selections out of is chosen. Again another hit-or-miss issue. 4. After trying to add an adjustment layer to a mask, Photo will crash and when I re-open the program the adjustment has been applied in a checker board pattern on the mask and I am unable to undo without again crashing. At this point I have to start the workflow over for any meaningful recovery. The Selections problems make this program so unstable that I cannot use it for any work on the go. I do use the desktop version on MacOS but the point of having it on my iPad is to have the flexibility to create anywhere.

How a Layoff Affects an Organization
The layoff of one individual in a company may appear minor, but it often causes a ripple effect in an organization where employees work together to achieve a common goal. A layoff introduces a missing link in the team, which affects the organization in several ways. The company faces a greater challenge when layoffs occur en masse.
Direct Costs
One of the things a business owner considers when he needs to save money at a company is laying off staff in anticipation of saving money on payroll and benefits. However, the company often ends up incurring costs as a result of the layoff that minimize the savings. For example, the company may have to issue severance pay to outgoing employees, pay overtime wages to remaining employees and use placement services for temporary help.
Increased Turnover
Business owners who execute layoffs in their companies frequently see additional employees resign from their jobs. Layoffs can disillusion top-ranking employees who then opt to leave the company. Watching a colleague leave involuntarily could cause an employee to consider job offers from other companies seriously or to actively seek new job opportunities.
Decreased Customer Loyalty
Laying off employees can have a significant negative effect on customer retention. Every customer is an asset to any company, and the employer must find ways to retain each of them. When a company lays off its employees it sends out a message to customers that it is undergoing some sort of crisis. Fewer employees could mean delays in the delivery of goods and services, further alienating customers.
Emotional Distress
The person who is laid off suffers the most distress, but remaining employees suffer emotionally as well. Because the layoff disrupts the status quo, employees have to pick up extra responsibilities and form new work relationships, which can cause stress. The productivity level of employees who work in fear is likely to go down. The situation is even more damaging to the company when the person who has lost his job stays around until the date of termination of his contract.

Despite worldwide emphasis on enabling high-ability students to realise their potential, not enough is known about drivers that seed success in educational outcomes and well-being. High-ability Aboriginal students who underachieve are under-identified and under-represented in selective settings.
Capitalising on interdisciplinary theory and research, state-of-the-art statistics, and a powerful multi-method design, this project aims to explicate psychosocial determinants of high-ability Aboriginal students' educational outcomes and well-being and to test the efficacy of novel research-derived interventions.
This study aims to advance knowledge, policy, and practice and enhance the provision of education to high-ability Aboriginal students, ensuring they realise their full potential.

text: Moderator joeywa 5,183 Posted August 6, 2014 Moderator Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I received a message from one of our HS members to put up a smoking BBQ thread on HS. His request was as follows: Would you consider starting a thread on Hornsport that explained step by step how you smoke & prepare different meat cuts. Please be very elementary in your explanations. Also please give a list of the minimum equipment- smoker type, thermometers, rubs, temps, time, etc. I love bbq but have NO cooking skills. Now that I have the time, I would like to become somewhat proficient at it. Seems fairly basic, but in actuality, it's quite a complex request. Let's start at the end, as you have said a mouthful. You say you now have time and you want to become proficient at smoking? That is a great combination of desire and time on your hands, both of which you will need. In order to become proficient, you absolutely must practice. It is like anything else. That's not to say that you can't throw on a brisket and have it turn out just fine the very first time. You most certainly can. The trick is getting that 10th, 40th, 100th brisket to be as good or better than the one(s) that you smoked before it. Some improvements are only going to be noticeable to you, other improvements will be very apparent to everyone else. Keep in mind: YOU WILL SCREW SOMETHING UP.....AT LEAST ONCE. Don't worry about it-it happens to all of us. Now that we have established that you're going to screw it up, let's get down to business. I would encourage all of our HS BBQ Pitmasters to chime in on this thread. Give us some of your expertise. I think this could be a great thread for all of our HS members, from novice to pro. I'm no expert. I'm proficient. I've ruined my share of smoked items over the years. It happens. I've also learned quite a bit over the years. I'll share with you whatever I can. Let's call this PART 1. (I'm going to have to take this in steps, as I want to make sure I don't miss anything. I'll update it with additional sections as we move forward.) Minimum Equipment: Pits: There are all kinds of BBQ pits, from electric to propane to wood burning. Pits built out of brick and mortar, to light steel to heavy-gauge steel. Pits shaped like planes or trains, uprights, horizontal, cabinets, bullets, kegs, etc. Heck, you can even smoke something using indirect heat on a basic Weber kettle if you have to. It's not all that difficult, and you don't need to spend several thousand dollars for a pit if you don't have it. First step, determine your needs. Are you going to go out and spend $5,000-10,000 on a custom-built top-of-the-line pit so you can smoke a brisket on the Fourth of July, then let it sit idle for the rest of the year? Or are you needing something that can be durable for multiple smokes just about every week? That's a wide range, so figure out how much you'll use it, how much you need to cook at once, and what your real needs are. Price: Once you determine how often you're going to use it, you will need to figure out a price range. Pits range anywhere from under $100 to as much as you want to spend, and then some. What is your budget? Type: Do you have restrictions where you live? Do you have limitations on how much time you want to spend tending a pit? Do you want "Set it and forget it," or are you more of a traditionalist that wants to tend to your stick-burner? Maybe you're in between. Let's take a look at the options. (Again, if anyone would like to chime in here with their own personal experience, please feel free; don't be shy.) Electric: There are several types of electric pits. Pellet Smokers: Traeger is a pellet smoker, driven by an electric auger system that feeds pellets to an element that produces smoke. Traeger is not the only company that makes pellet smokers, but they are currently one of the most popular. Makes a very good product, very little attention is needed to this type of pit. Set it and forget it. I have some friends that have these, and the finished product is good. It does not have the same smoke flavor as an offset stick burning pit. The meat is still smokey, just not what I personally prefer. Wood chips/chunk smokers: Cookshack is the leader in this one. More expensive than most, but in my opinion, as close as you can get to an offset for flavor. This operates with an electric heating element that sits underneath a mini wood box, heating the wood box so the wood smolders, creating the smoke. Puck Smokers: Bradley makes an electric cabinet smoker that uses bisquettes, or pucks, of wood, heated to smoldering by an element. North Texas Horn has used these in the past and has been pleased with them. I have never used one, so I don't have much to pass along on this. Wood sliver/fine chip smokers: Both Little Chief and Masterbuilt fall into this category. Little Chief is used predominantly in the northern parts of the country for fish smoking, mainly due to the fact that they don't get too hot and are simple to use. Masterbuilt is an electric pit that, similar to Bradley is usually a cabinet. LHR has used these for years. They are fairly inexpensive and they do a good job. They take some attention, as you'll have to replace the wood chips from time to time during a smoke, as the capacity for wood is not all that great. Flavor wise, again, not the same as an offset burning logs, but it is suitable if cost & ease of use are your top criteria. Propane: Most are popular with hunters and fishermen, as well as campers. These run off a standard propane bottle, and are available at places like Cabella's, Bass Pro, Academy, etc. I have not used one of these, so as far as quality of smoke produced, someone else will need to chime in. Most of the majors have entries in this category, Brinkmann, Bradley, Camp Chef, etc. Charcoal Smokers: These are typically in a bullet design, under the names of Brinkmann, Weber, Char-broil, Smokey Mountain. Work by using charcoal as your main heat source, with wood chunks tossed in to create the smoke around the meat. The up side is they're pretty reasonably priced, so if you're on a budget, this may be the way to go. Down side is that it can be difficult to maintain heat for longer smokes. Most have a door to access the charcoal/wood tray to add more, although these can be small and a bit challenging if you're working with hot coals. The flavor profile on the smoked meat is pretty good. Ceramic/Porcelin Wood Smokers/Grills: I'm referring to two in this section; Big Green Egg and Kamodo Keg. Both are fantastic grills. Smoking is done with indirect heat. Both produce very good results. Maintaining temperature is tricky the first few times you use these. Once you get that down, they are pretty easy to use and one of these may be my next purchase, mainly for the grilling benefits. Offset Stick Burners: OK, now we're in my wheelhouse. I admit, I'm extremely partial to the traditional offset, heavy steel constructed smoker pit. There are a plethora of manufacturers out there, and prices are all over the place. I got my start with an old New Braunfels Smoker. It lasted me 10 years in the PacNW. I replaced it with my current pit, and Old Country BBQ All American. Academy carries this item. A HornSports member, chorn, is one of the owners of Old Country. They make an extremely functional mid-range pit. They also manufacture pits for those on a limited budget as well as some really killer high end products. Others are Gator Pit, Klose, Pits and Spits and Lyfe Tyme, to name a few. All are solid. In my opinion, there is really no comparison to a product smoked in an offset using logs. Unless you have the time, money and expertise to build a brick and mortar pit like is used at Coopers, Smitty's, Black's, etc., I am a believer in the offset steel pit. Feel free to ask me any questions about these, and I'll answer as best as I can. Thermometers: Thermometers are a key piece to your smoking process. There are many types; from digital to analog, wireless to wired. I've used most over the course of time. Wireless: Probably the most convenient. You plug a probe into the meat, plug the other end into a sending unit, and have another unit that tells you the temp of the meat from a distance. Battery operated. The best brand of these I've found is the Maverick. Bluetooth: If you have an Apple device, I recommend the iGrill. Wired unit that accomodates two probes, that talks via bluetooth to your iPhone/iPad. I use this quite often. What I really like is you can purchase an ambient temp probe that can sit in your smoke chamber, and then set a range of temps. If the temp in the pit goes below or above your range, your phone/iPad alerts you. Manual: There is absolutely nothing wrong with the old standby of an analog or digital meat thermometer. I keep two out in the Man Pit. Just in case and also for quick temp readings if I don't want to mess with the iGrill. So there you have it; Part 1. In Part 2, we will discuss wood, rubs and cuts of meat. Bear with me, as I have a lot of travel coming up for work in the next couple of weeks. I'll get to it, I promise. For now, hopefully this will foster some good discussion and input from others. Questions are good, and there are no stupid questions. If I don't know the answer, I'll try to find it for you. pringlelake, SFlonghorngirl and alonghorn72 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At any point between now (as I type this at 6:15 p.m. Sunday evening) and this time tomorrow (6:15 p.m. Monday evening), the Peoria Chiefs will announce their roster for the 2011 season.
The Cubs have already let Daytona announce their roster for the high-A Florida State League and there are plenty of ex-Chiefs on it. While Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa have not yet announced their roster, it would be tough to have a player fall from playing on one of those teams for most of spring training to starting the season in Peoria. It's not out of the realm of possibility, but not likely (with one exception, which I'll get to shortly). Knowing that, it's possible to start narrowing down the options of the players who might be Chiefs.
Catchers: At least two of the following three (if not all of them) from Sergio Burruel, Micah Gibbs and Luis Flores.
Infielders: Richard Jones will likely be one first baseman. Eliott Soto, Pierre LaPage and Arismendy Alcantara are in the mix for the middle infield. Anthonly Giansanti could be the utility infielder/outfielder after playing some at third this spring as well as the outfield. Brandon May or Wilson Contreras will probably factor in at third.
Outfielders: D.J. Fitzgerald might be returning for what would be part of his third season with the Chiefs. Rubi Silva will likely split centerfield duties with Matt Szczur, who has reportedly been hampered with a leg injury and could begin the season on the DL or back at extended. The exception from the Tennessee-to-Peoria theorem is outfielder Smaily Borges, a Cuban defector, who will likely be this season's Mario Mercedes in that he's an older player that can help the transition of some of the Latin American players, notably Silva and pitcher Juan Yasser Serrano. They too are Cuban defectors.
Pitchers: This is where it gets difficult to really measure who might be on Peoria's roster since some former Chiefs who might have been expected to move up have not. There's also the matter of whether there will be any piggyback tandems, which blurs the line between the rotation and bullpen. Here's who might be Peoria's pitchers:
Austin Kirk went four innings in Sunday's spring training finale, so he'll could be the No. 2 starter in the rotation since Friday would be his fifth day. Erik Jokisch, Bryce Shafer, Serrano and Marcus Hatley all threw on Sunday as well. With the team expected to break camp and be off for three days before Thursday's opener it's highly probable that those four are on the roster.
Robinson Lopez, picked up as part of the Derrek Lee trade, will possibly fill one spot in the rotation. Lefty Jeffry Antigua could start the season in Peoria's rotation after starting 17 games here last year. First-round pick Hayden Simpson is still a possibility as well. Cameron Greathouse went 4-2 witha 2.44 ERA last year between Boise and Mesa and could still be in the mix to be part of the rotation.
Four former Chief relievers are possibilities for the bullpen again: Yohan Gonzalez, Larry Suarez, Manolin DeLeon and Justin Bristow. Charles Thomas (a former third baseman) and Casey Harman both threw in a game earlier this week.
Those are 15 pitchers for 12 or 13 spots on the roster. And of course there may be some that have been overlooked and will bump some of the names above.
Now all that's left is the waiting.

Hiakai. Adjective. Origin~Māori. 1. Hungry 2. Having a desire, need, craving for food.
Hiakai began in 2016 as a pop up series devoted to the exploration and development of Māori cooking techniques and ingredients. Māori were great innovators of food and land, developing their own style of earth cookery (hāngi) and successfully adapting plants and vegetables brought with them from Hawaiki to the much colder environment of Aotearoa (New Zealand). Over several centuries, these methods have been passed down, refined and still feed the hiakai people of Aotearoa today.
Since launching in 2016, Hiakai has established itself as a leading innovator in the New Zealand food scene. The sophisticated boundary-pushing menus created by Chef Monique Fiso are challenging the status quo of Māori food in New Zealand, while playing a leading role in keeping Māori food culture alive.
Hiakai has now opened as a bricks-and-mortar restaurant in Te Whanganui a Tara, the capital of Aotearoa, and was recently named as one of TIME Magazine's 100 Greatest Place of 2019

International Opening Games
MLB had most of its teams open the 2011 season on a Thursday (March 31) or Friday (April 1) rather than the traditional Monday, in order to prevent the World Series from extending into November.[18] Similarly, most teams opened the 2012 season on Thursday (April 5) or Friday (April 6). However, the 2013 season saw most teams once more opening on Monday (April 1), the 2014 season also opened on Monday (March 31), and the 2015 season is also slated to open up on Monday (April 6).
Recent Opening Days
Hall of Famer Tom Seaver has started the most Opening Day games in Major League history, starting the Opener 16 times for the New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds, and Chicago White Sox.[17]
On rare occasions, predominantly in the early 20th century, a team would open its home season with a doubleheader. The first of these came when the Boston Americans hosted the Philadelphia Athletics for two games on April 20, 1903, with Boston winning the first game, 9–4, and Philadelphia taking the second game, 10–7.[15] The most recent Opening Day doubleheader in the major leagues came on April 7, 1971, with the Chicago White Sox defeating the host Oakland Athletics in both games (6–5 and 12–4, respectively).[16]
The longest Opening Day game in major league history was played on April 5, 2012 between the Cleveland Indians and Toronto Blue Jays. The game, played at Cleveland's Progressive Field, ended with the Blue Jays beating the Indians, 7–4, in 16 innings.[14] The previous record for longest Opening Day game was on April 19, 1960, again at Cleveland. That game, lasting 15 innings, also saw the Indians in a losing effort, 4–2, versus the Detroit Tigers. The Philadelphia Athletics and Washington Senators also played a 15-inning season opener on April 13, 1926, with Washington winning, 1–0, at home.
The St. Louis Cardinals were the first major league team to open their home season with a night game, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 4–2 at Sportsman's Park on April 18, 1950.[13]
On April 4, 2005, Chicago Cubs' Tuffy Rhodes in 1994.[12]
In 14 season openers for the Washington Senators Walter Johnson pitched a record nine shutouts. Two of his more famous starts include a 3–0 victory over the Philadelphia A's in 1910 and a 1–0 marathon victory while battling the A's Eddie Rommel for 15 innings.
On April 4, 1974, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves ignited the Opening Day crowd at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium with his 714th career home run, tying Babe Ruth on Major League Baseball's all-time list. Aaron finished his career with 755 home runs.
Ted Williams was a .449 hitter in openers, with three home runs and fourteen runs batted in during fourteen such games and at least one hit in each game.[11]
Twelve United States presidents have thrown the first ball of the season. On April 14, 1910, baseball enthusiast William Howard Taft attended the home opener in Washington D.C., becoming the first U.S. President to throw out the first pitch to start a season.[9] Harry S. Truman threw first pitches with both his right and left arm in 1950.[1] On April 4, 1994, Bill Clinton inaugurated the Cleveland Indians' new ballpark, Jacobs Field, with the first pitch.[10]
In 1940, Cleveland Indians pitcher Bob Feller threw a no-hitter to open the season against the Chicago White Sox. It remains the only no-hitter in Opening Day history. [8]
In 1907, the New York Giants forfeited their game at the Polo Grounds to the Philadelphia Phillies, 9–0, after rowdy fans made and threw snowballs. Without police available to restore order, umpire Bill Klem awarded the game to the Phillies.[7]
Memorable moments
In 2014, Ozzie Smith, with the support of Anheuser-Busch, began a campaign using the We the People site on WhiteHouse.gov to petition the United States government to make Opening Day an official national holiday.[5][6]
Prior to Opening Day, the teams' managers have to decide the starting pitchers for the game, an assignment typically given to the ace of each team's staff.[3] For a pitcher to start on Opening Day is considered an honor.[4]
Hall of Fame pitcher Early Wynn, who played for the Washington Senators, Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox, once said: "An opener is not like any other game. There's that little extra excitement, a faster beating of the heart. You have that anxiety to get off to a good start, for yourself and for the team. You know that when you win the first one, you can't lose 'em all."[1]
Opening Day is a state of mind as well, with countless baseball fans known to recognize this unofficial holiday as a good reason to call in sick at work or be truant from school (as most teams typically play their home opener in the afternoon) and go out to the ballpark for the first of 162 regular season games. Teams' home openers serve as the only regular season games during the year in which the entire rosters of both teams as well as coaches and clubhouse staff are introduced to the crowd prior to the games (for the rest of the year, ballparks only introduce the starting lineups). Some teams, among them the New York Mets, have had their broadcasters as the master of pre-game ceremonies for their home openers, which also typically feature appearances by retired players, local celebrities or media personalities, politicians, and other dignitaries.
For generations, Opening Day has arrived amid pageantry. In Cincinnati, Ohio, home of the sport's first professional team, an annual parade marks an official "city holiday" with young and old alike taking the day off to cheer on the Reds. For decades, the first pitch of every major league season officially took place in Cincinnati. The Reds remain the only major league team to always open the season with a home game (save for 1966, when they started the season at Chicago after rain washed out the opening series in Cincinnati, and 1990, when due to a lockout affecting the schedule they opened the season at Houston).[2] The past decade has brought the introduction of a game televised by ESPN the night before "Opening Day", as well as the staging of season-opening series in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Japan, and Australia. While these are technically "opening games", Major League Baseball still reserves the title "Opening Day" for the first day in which multiple games are played.

For teams that open the regular season on the road, the first home game of the season is commonly regarded as Opening Day to the fans in that city.
Opening Day festivities extend throughout the sport of baseball, to hundreds of minor league baseball franchises as well as to college, high school, youth league fields and in areas far beyond North America. Since Major League Baseball generally starts their season first among professional leagues, their Opening Day is the one most commonly recognized by the general public. Most of the minor leagues start a few days later, but within the same week; the short season Class A and Rookie leagues are exceptions, since they begin play in June. (College, high school and youth baseball seasons vary widely depending on location and weather conditions.) Opening Day ignores the exhibition games played during spring training in the month leading up to Opening Day.

What is a missionary?
What is a missionary? Silly question. We all know what a missionary is, don't we? We have missionary prayer meetings. We get missionary newsletters. We read missionary biographies. A missionary is, well… a missionary. And yet, nobody seems to be able to tell me just what we mean when we call a person a missionary.
Once it was simple. People were sent from countries where there were churches to places where there were no churches. They went there to preach the gospel, to make disciples, to baptise, to plant churches. That's what a missionary was. A person sent from one place to another place to plant a church.
But missionaries like that are a very small minority today. Most of the people who are labelled missionaries today work in places where there are already established gospel churches. They may attend those churches or they may not. In any case, very few of them are themselves involved in church planting. It seems that nowadays the term can be used for any Christian who leaves their home, moves elsewhere and does any kind of work! Providing that the work is motivated by Christian concern, that person can be viewed as a missionary. So an engineer goes out to work somewhere in Africa, helping villagers dig wells, install irrigation systems, build safer homes. He attaches himself to a church in the area where he's working but he still keeps his membership in the church in the UK from which he came – and they talk of him as their missionary. A girl is sent from Liverpool to Sweden to work among students there. There are plenty of evangelical churches in Stockholm but she doesn't attend any of them. She's supported by her home church so she can spend all her time witnessing to students and that leaves no time for involvement in a local church. Her home church talks of her as a missionary. A nurse moves from London to Japan to work as a nurse in a secular hospital there. She gets along to a church in Tokyo when she can, witnesses to patients and staff in the hospital, writes prayer letters back to her home church about her work. And they talk about her as a missionary.
"Missionaries" in the modern sense may be pastors or evangelists working with established churches in the area to which they've moved. They may teach in Bible-colleges or be involved in radio work. They may run radio stations or dental clinics. They may be involved in translation work or run Christian schools. Or for that matter they may work in completely secular jobs. Providing they take opportunities to witness to unbelievers, they are still labelled missionaries. It's all a bit confusing.
But does it really matter? If the work they are doing is honourable and useful; if it advances God's kingdom, does it matter what we call the workers?
Well yes, I think it does. Why? Well because this loose use of the word "missionary" is bound to cause confusion.
Back in the days when missionaries were church-planters in places where there were no churches, it was necessary and right that missionaries should keep their membership in their home churches. There was no gospel church for them to join in the place where they were working, so they carried on belonging to the church back home. They were under the oversight of the home church and they looked to it not just for financial support but for pastoral care, advice, direction. It wasn't ideal, but belonging to a church hundreds of miles away was better than belonging to no church at all. And it was always understood that once they had planted a church in the place where they were living, they would either move on, or they would become members of the new church. They would no longer be under the oversight of a church far away, but under the oversight of the church where they were actually living.
It was never envisaged that we might have "missionaries" working in places where there are established churches, perhaps even attending or leading those churches, but still under the oversight of a home church far away. But that's the situation that's now taken for granted for countless "missionaries".
I've seen the confusion again and again. I've taken conferences in many places across the world – places where there are strong evangelical churches. I've met "missionaries" at those conferences – evangelists, literature workers, medics, all sorts. And I've asked them which of the churches in the town they belong to. And they look puzzled. And then they say, "Well none really. I drop in on this one or that one from time to time but I'm here as a missionary – my membership is back home in Southampton/Seattle/Sydney…." The fact that they carry the label "missionary" apparently exempts them from all the New Testament commands which say that they need to belong to a local church, love its members, attend its meetings, join it in prayer, be under its oversight, follow its guidance… They are there, supposedly with the authority of a church hundreds of miles away, but virtually ignoring the existence of the churches which God has actually established where they are.
It doesn't have to be overseas. I know Christian "missionaries" here in Manchester, commissioned by churches elsewhere in the UK and sent here to "do the work of the kingdom". They see no need to become members of any church here; they don't feel they need to consult pastors here before starting work on our doorsteps; they simply pursue their own agenda, claiming the authority of their home church. Well, I'll be honest – we view them as nothing but a distraction.
That, I suppose, is the worst scenario – the situation where "missionaries" work in areas where there are established, sound gospel churches but don't attend any of them – because their "membership" is somewhere far away.
Thankfully, most "reformed" churches recognise that that is not acceptable. If they send out "missionaries" they encourage them to be involved in churches in the places where they are going to live. But even then, there may still be confusion. Why? Because having sent out missionaries to work with a church in another place, they still expect the missionary to retain membership with themselves, and be under their oversight. So the missionary has to live with a constant dilemma. "Am I under the oversight of the leaders of the church here? Am I to be like all the other folk in the church, committed to this church, answerable to it, or does my commitment to this church always come second to a church many miles away?" Again the "missionary" isn't allowed just to be a church-member like any other church member, obeying the commands of Scripture and devoting himself to the church he attends.
You can even have the baffling situation where a man is pastor of a church in Africa or Indonesia and yet say that he's a member of a church in England! He may have a team of strong elders around him and yet the leaders of the church in England expect him to submit to their own direction and be answerable to them!
Where this happens, it creates intolerable tensions. What is the point of this "missionary pastor" holding an office-bearers' meeting in the church he leads, if at the end of the meeting he has to say, "Of course, whatever we've decided, I won't be able to follow it through, unless my elders back in X, Y or Z approve…"? What has happened to the doctrine of the independence of the local church?
Sadly we have seen promising situations torn apart by such folly. I think of one church in the Middle East, led by three gifted "missionary" workers and a local pastor. The four were recognised as elders. But at least one of the missionaries soon found that his home church thought that they should still have direct oversight of "their" missionary. From thousands of miles away they wanted to tell him how he must order his family; how he should go about his evangelistic work, how he should use his time. Any decisions he made in concert with his three fellow-elders were subject to the approval of the leaders of his "home church" in a different continent. It is not surprising that the whole situation broke up in disarray.
Part of the problem of course is money. Many Christian workers, sent out from the Western world, are dependent on financial support from the churches that sent them. And because of that, the churches that send them think that these workers should continue to be answerable to them, even if they are settled in stable, well-taught, gospel churches in the places where they are working. "He who pays the piper calls the tune"! (It may be proverbial, but hardly biblical thinking).
We need to think clearly about all these issues. I've been forced to think about them a lot recently. Various folk from different churches have come to me asking for advice about different situations. And who knows, one day, we may send one or more of our members overseas to serve the Lord. And then we'll need to understand clearly what our responsibilities are.
Maybe we'll send members to a place where there's no gospel church. Well then, we'll be commissioning them to go, make disciples, baptise them, teach them to observe everything the Lord Jesus has commanded – including the duties of church life. We'll send them out as our missionaries. And while they are in that situation, we will take full responsibility before God for them. It will be our duty not just to support them financially but spiritually, emotionally, and in every other way. We will have to work out just how practically we can pastor them and oversee their work from across the world. Then, as they gather disciples, we will have to give them guidance on how to bring those folk together as a church and train up leaders. But once the church has been established and leaders have been put in place, we will then have to say, "you are no longer our missionaries". You are our beloved brothers and sisters but you are now members of that church under the oversight of your fellow-leaders." We may continue to support them financially, but they will no longer be answerable to us.
Or on the other hand, we may send workers to places where there are existing gospel churches – churches which we recognise as true churches with which we can have fellowship. Perhaps a young man in our congregation is an experienced mechanic. He knows that a church in Uganda needs mechanics to service the motorbikes on which their evangelists go out to the villages around. He's willing to go – and of course if he does, he'll be involved in all the evangelistic work of that church as well. We contact the church there and ask if they would welcome his service. When they say yes, then we say farewell to him. We commend him to that situation. But he does not go as our "missionary". He simply goes as someone transferring his membership from one church to another. We will pray for him, we will be thrilled to think that he is playing his part in the growth of God's kingdom, we will continue to treasure him as a far away brother, maybe we will help him financially. But he is not "ours" now. He belongs to the church in Kampala, or wherever it may be.
To send workers anywhere in the world on any terms is an exciting thing for any church. To be part of the work of planting churches where there are none is thrilling. To be asked to give away beloved members to strengthen existing churches is a wonderful privilege too. Let's pray that we'll have both joys as the years go by. And let's be sure that we're ready to handle our responsibilities in a way that's Biblical and God-honouring. The apostle John commended one church for the way that it handled its responsibilities to missionaries – even those they had not sent out themselves. "You are faithful in what you doing for the brothers… You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans. We ought therefore to show hospitality to such men so that we may work together for the truth…" (3 John 1:5-8). When brothers go out for the sake of the Name, how vital it is that everything should be done in a manner worthy of God!

Her mother used to tell her she had the most beautiful eyes. Royal blue with an amber halo. They were what made Maria unique. One-of-a-kind. Special.
So why shouldn't her genetically-engineered pet fish to have the same thing? Royal blue eyes with an amber halo, spliced from her DNA. Unique, one-of-a-kind, special. Like her.
But the technology that created this carefully handcrafted version of her doesn't exist for her alone. A lot of people want blue-eyed pet fish too.
In an age of consumerism and commodification, identity doesn't have the luxury of being unique. Maria is in for an eye-opening experience.

Biology Club
The Biology Club is open to all HPU students, regardless of their major. We do not charge dues. All that is required is a sincere desire to learn more about the field of biology and a drive to do some community service!
Every fall semester we spotlight Biology majors who were accepted into a summer research internship, and they give a presentation about their experience. The club also hosts guest speakers from a variety of biological backgrounds, such as current medical and graduate students, drug sales representatives, and researchers from neighboring institutions (e.g. Wake Forest University) conducting biological research. There are many ways to get involved on campus, but we feel that the Biology Club is one of the best!

Should have Kept the Subaru
Submitted by drink on
Look, it's not that I regret buying the Audi... wait. I regret buying the Audi, any time I'm not actually driving it, which has been less than two months in a year so far. But maybe those regrets will vanish as I continue to iron out problems. It's that I really miss my Impreza.

28 August 2018
Today was my final Running School session and I wasn't sure whether to be relieved or sad. The previous sessions had all been extremely tough, pushing me to my limits but there was something almost enjoyable, in a masochistic way, about being tested and getting through it. Maybe enjoyable isn't the right word and maybe the joy part when they were over was more about having survived. Either way, I set off this morning with mixed feelings. For once there was a good chance of getting wet along the way and I was actually wearing a thin raincoat. Continue reading Slip sliding to the final running school 28 August

Eat Salem Night at La Hacienda Real South
This slide show is from K and N.
Back from La Hacienda, had a nice dinner with really good friends from this blog. Thank you guys for coming. There were a few vests, several smiles and a packed waiting room. They told me Saturday night was going to be busy and they weren't kidding. The staff at La Hacienda set up a cozy table in the back for the ten of us. Thank you very much, the service was great. Pictured here, Mole Ranchero for $12.95.
Esta aqui! La Noche de Eat Salem Numero Cuatro!
7pm tonight at the South Commercial La Hacienda Real. To signify you are an Eat Salem reader, wear a vest, a sombrero or carnation boutonniere and if you see anyone else wearing one of those three items look them in the eye and smile. If they smile back you'll know they're one of us. Introduce yourself if you'd like. If you prefer to remain low key, just go and have a nice meal. Get pictures of your food and/or report back to this post after the meal. It's better then a movie. I was in there the other day to congratulate them and let them know what was happening. We made them a framed "Restaurant of the Year" certificate and gave them an Eat Salem hat. I believe there are now at least two of those hats floating around town. They said they expect Saturday night to be busy. Come out to dinner with us and find out why we voted La Hacienda Real, Eat Salem Restaurant of the Year 2008.
Update 2/02/08
Here is the info for Eat Salem Night at the South Salem La Hacienda, Saturday February 7th at 7p. Because this blog is mostly anonymous, and many of you want to remain that way, we usually have funny indicators to show other Eat Salem readers that you are there from the blog. Just show up around 7ish and have one person in your party wearing either a vest(any type will do), a carnation boutonniere, or a sombrero(it is a Mexican restaurant). If you see someone in the restaurant wearing one of these items, look them in the eye and smile. If they smile back, they're there from the Eat Salem blog and introduce yourself, or not. Invite as many people as you'd like. Maybe we'll get a crowd of people in the waiting area wearing fleece and smiling our butts off. This is the fourth Eat Salem Night since we've been doing this and it is a lot of fun. Last year at Apizza, the owner said that fifty people showed up at dinner time. And bring your camera too, take pictures of your food and send it in after you get home. I'm sure there will be more updates so stay tuned to this post throughout the week. By the way, if you want a good laugh, google image search the word "sombrero."
La Hacienda Real South
3690 Commercial St. SE
Feb 7, 7p
Posted 1/28/09
A date and time has been set for the next Eat Salem Night to celebrate La Hacienda Real being voted the "Restaurant of the Year."

I plan on coming. Do we need to do something to indicate with are with EatSalem? Do we need to make a reservation?

Stay tuned for more details.

Oh, I bet that place is going to be packed. It always is, though. I LOVE the bean and cabbage dip they serve when they hand you the menus. MMMMmmm... I could have just a big plate of that with a basket of chips for dinner. No, I'll trade the chips for homemade tortillas and keep the dip.
Er, maybe both. As long as I get lots of dip.
So it way your party that had the table of ten? Family and I got seated up front before you. I enjoy La Hacienda Real, but have noticed that their menu prices are notably higher than other similar Mexican eateries of similar quality. Frankly, I'm rather tired as hell with the Mex food scene in Salem. Most diners would be very surprised to learn that there really is regional cuisine in Mexico. Oh, for a real Oxacan restaurant for a change!
- KandN said...
Hey Ed, Were any of you wearing vests or carnations or sombreros? :>)
It was fun and I felt like I enjoyed a meal with family. Can't wait for the next one.
What was that about breakfast at WOM? :>D
I wonder where that marker went??
The best Mexican place in Salem!!!
Never disappointed and have yet to see "roaches" on the food unlike Los Dos Amigos on Lancaster.

Furniture World News
Sherwin Williams announced that their latest Sherwin-Williamscolormix™ 2012 forecast, "proves that a color palette doesn't need to stray far from its roots to make a big design impact."
"Colors that are analogous, or adjacent on the color wheel, are a dominant trend," said Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams. "We discover a fresh array of combinations within color families ― be it fiery reds, watery blues, grassy greens or organic neutrals." Forget the expected tone-on-tone pairings. Sherwin-Williams color experts drew inspiration from fashion-forward color-washing and ombré dyeing techniques to experiment with color values and hues within color families to create four vibrant palettes. They also embraced the sustainable landscape ― which has become an enduring influence on all aspects of décor and design. "Just hone in on a color you love and the ideal, natural complement will be right nearby," Jordan said. The 40 hues highlighted in colormix 2012 stay close to home with earth-inspired, color family groupings: Reds, Blues, Greens and Neutrals. Reds Burn BrightlyRed is the color of love, fire and the earth's molten core, and it stirs raw emotions ranging from the deepest passion to the softest femininity. This saturated palette includes hues of brilliant flowers and glowing embers. It isn't a single red, but a deep gradation of fuchsias, red-oranges, violets and delicate pinks. "Thanks to the popularity of lacquered finishes and all things China, red has renewed dominance," Jordan said. "But the old taboos about mixing reds with oranges and purples don't apply. Our red palette is as bold and free-spirited as the color itself."
Blues Not Washed OutThis soothing palette celebrates a pair of functional and treasured blues: denim and water. It explores the darkest indigo to faded-jeans hues, some with violet undertones, as well as the calm, shimmery shades that reflect rivers, lakes and seas. "As we seek economic blue skies, we're rediscovering denim, the rugged fabric of the American worker," Jordan said. "Clean water is another essential commodity, from oceans to tap. Our serene blue palette pays homage to both of these treasured resources." Greens Firmly PlantedCasting aside the more innocent yellow-tinged greens of the past, this eclectic palette focuses on greens that are lush, moody and complex. It showcases the depths of the sea and forest; leafy motifs; rustic natural textures; and organic elements such as algae, moss and seaweed. "We're serious about going green, and our green palette honors our sustainable lifestyle," Jordan said. "This trend is observed everywhere, even in dense urban areas, where rooftop and kitchen gardens flourish." Neutrals Provide BalanceRaw materials continue to influence color trends, especially the more subtle hues. Picture a field of grain, pile of pebbles, weathered wood and earthen clay. Gold tones embody the sun and soft metallics — and warm up this understated yet refined palette. Textural elements, such as linen, unfired porcelain and mixed woods, provide subtle tonal variations. "Steely grays have given way to our neutral palette of warmer gray and natural tones that create a balanced look," Jordan said. Color ResourcesWhatever color family fits best, there are several ways for professionals to interact and find inspiration with color selection tools from Sherwin-Williams. Designers can easily match colors for projects with the ColorSnap® mobilephone application for Android, Blackberry and the iPhone. Available for download at swcolorsnap.com, this free color-matching app allows users to quickly and easily match hues with more than 1,500 Sherwin-Williams colors. Browse existing images or snap a new photo, scroll around to locate the exact hue to match and ColorSnap will display the closest Sherwin-Williams color and coordinating palette.
Users also can view the entire Sherwin-Williams color collection; adjust shades; get RGB and light reflectance number values; find the nearest Sherwin-Williams store and capture hues in "My Saved Colors" for future reference. At swcolor.com, design professionals can access downloadable palettes for use in color rendering software and order large-sized color swatches and fan decks. Sherwin-Williams also has an online Color Visualizer that allows designers and clients to upload interior or exterior images to explore and experiment with hundreds of Sherwin-Williams colors. And swstir.com provides inspiration and resources for professionals including conversations with design experts; articles and news on the latest design trends; and a link to the Sherwin-Williams Facebook page for designers and architects. In addition to interactive tools and inspiration, Sherwin-Williams offers off-line help withCOLOR To Go® paint samples and the Sher-Color™ Advanced Color Technology system for fast, accurate color matching.

Pracovníci RCPTM obdrželi Cenu Siemens
Werner von Siemens Excellence Award 2012 for the best doctoral thesis was attributed to two researchers of the Joint Laboratory of Optics – Karel Lemr (author of the thesis) and Jan Soubusta (his supervisor). The awarded work entitled Experimental quantum information processing with photon pairs summarizes the research performed by the quantum information group over the past four years. The common denominator of all the experiments described in the thesis is the use of photon pairs for quantum information processing tasks. In contrast to classical information processing known from contemporary electronics, quantum information processing promises significant gain in computing efficiency. The specific examples of experiments presented in the awarded thesis are for instance a quantum gate that should constitute a crucial building block of future quantum computers or a quantum cloning device used to test security of quantum cryptography. Such discoveries in this field of basic research are inevitable steps towards applied quantum information processing in practical devices like quantum computers or quantum cryptography tools.
Werner von Siemens excellence award is attributed each year to researchers in various categories including basic and applied research or pedagogical contribution. More details can be found on the Siemens Czech Republic web page (http://www.siemens.cz/cenasiemens).

The listening is comprised of four sections:
- the first section is on the understanding of wording through an image, photo or drawing that reflects scenes from daily life;
- the second section is on the understanding of minimal exchanges related to real life situations (greetings, propositions, phone calls, request for information, station announcements, weather, etc.);
- the third section is based on the understanding of micro-conversations (two or three exchanges);
- the fourth section is on the understanding of reports and radio broadcasts. The problem may relate to the number of questions on the one broadcast or even on the delivery of the broadcast or its surrounding noise.

Pacman Paid Extortion Hush Money?
Court documents allege that a 29-year-old man arrested for a Las Vegas strip club shooting extorted hush money from suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones.
Police said Arvin Kenti Edwards, of Renton, Washington, used go-betweens to reach Jones, who paid $15,000 over several installments to various people after the shooting.
Three people were shot, including a man who ended up paralyzed — after a melee at the Minxx strip club during the NBA All-Star Weekend in February 2007.
Edwards is in custody at the Yakima County Correctional Facility after being arrested Friday on attempted murder and battery charges. He is due in court Wednesday to face extradition.
