December 2016
In December it was announced that the simplified Staff Appraisal process will be launched in March this year.
As advised, all appraisals will be carried out within the same 8 week period each year to align with the IPE process, with the exception of this year, where we will be running 2 appraisals, one in March for Senior leaders and one for all employees in October to align with IPE.
Dear colleagues
The University is undertaking a free campus-wide furniture, waste and e-waste collection to remove all unwanted, old or damaged items, from Wednesday 25 January to Wednesday 8th February 2017.
We ask that you take the time to check your work and storage areas for items that are no longer used or required, damaged or taking up space unnecessarily (these items are not only unsightly, but also create a safety hazard).
A simplified Staff Appraisal process is being implemented for all Academic and Professional & General employees across the University in 2017 which will replace the current PDA process and has been designed to align with the annual University planning process.
Key features of the simplified process:
-all employees required to complete an appraisal during a scheduled 8-week period each year.
- simplified online staff appraisal system
Dear Colleagues,
As you would expect, the UWA Contact Directory will need to undergo extensive changes in order to align with the new University structure that formally activates as of 1 January, 2017. These changes will need to be made live in the New Year and cannot be pre-programmed.
Your professional development is key to future proofing your teaching practice and actively engaging with your students in new successful models of learning and teaching. The Transforming Teaching for Learning (TTL) unit is fully flexible through UWA's LMS. The three modules that make up the unit can be taken in immediate succession or in order over a period of time with breaks.
Module 1 (4 weeks): introduces the past, the present and the future of learning.
Welcome to the final edition of UWA Forward for 2016.
It's been a big year; 48 editions, 48 staff profiles, 192 news stories and the release of a refreshed UWA Forward in mid-October.
We are always keen to hear your feedback and you'll see more polls next year on a variety of topics. Last week we asked you what you'd like to see more of in UWA Forward. Thanks to everyone who responded, results are below and we will be sure to incorporate this feedback next year.
A number of UWA staff are represented in the nominees for the 2017 40 under 40 awards. Get your vote in for the People's Choice Award, you have until January 13 to vote.
The UWA Kids Sports Holiday Program
The UWA Kids Sports Holiday Programs are fun and exciting, multi-sport day camps for children aged 5-13, running from 9-27 January.
Our Kids Sports Holiday Programs are run by an experienced team of enthusiastic and friendly leaders. With the focus on participation, and having a good time, this program is excellent for introducing kids to new sports in a friendly, non competitive environment, and for keeping the active and happy during the school holidays!
The University of Western Australia has joined the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network to help tackle some of the world's most pressing environmental, social and economic problems.
Improving treatment of viral infections in transplant recipients, determining whether testosterone slows biological ageing in men to improve health outcomes and developing a tool to diagnose and predict different types of diabetes are among 26 projects at The University of Western Australia to receive funding of more than $22 million from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).

Belay Specs were born out of a passion for climbing and dealing with the neck pain that comes with it. I started working on designs for Belay Specs when I was living in Lexington, KY, only an hour away from the Red River Gorge. Known world wide for its steep sandstone amphitheaters, climbs in the Red are pumpy and long. The long routes mean long belays which often get much longer when the climber is able to rest and recover on big jugs, kneebars or ledges. Giving an attentive belay can result in temporary and long term neck pain.
I saw belay glasses at the crags a few times and was amazed at how well they worked but I was put off by their cost. I had seen prismatic reading glasses in a movie and wondered if I could make them work for belaying if they were flipped upside down. My first attempt at making belay glasses involved a hacked apart frame and a thick aluminum L angle glued together to make a clumsy, Frankenstein-esque pair of glasses. While functional, the heavy, obtrusive frame made them feel like blinders and made it hard to see around the glasses for good rope management. These glasses only lasted a few weeks before breaking in an over-enthusiastic hug.
A new frame needed to be designed that was more durable, lighter weight and adjustable. While sitting at work, day dreaming about climbing, designing things in my head and measuring a drawing, I realized my stainless steel ruler would make for a great frame. Hours of cutting and many destroyed rulers later, a superior frame emerged that was lighter, more comfortable and allowed for great peripheral vision.
Using the belay glasses at crags in Kentucky and Utah resulted in lots of questions about what I was wearing and how they worked. People loved the comfort the glasses afforded them and asked where they could get a pair. After hearing this from many folks and finding meek job opportunities after moving to Utah, I decided to create a job for myself and share Belay Specs with the wider climbing community.
Belay Specs are made in Salt Lake City by climbers and are the only belay glasses made in the USA. Furthermore, we source nearly all our components domestically to support American businesses and the US economy.
Making every pair in house allows us to ensure high quality and the flexibility to work with customers to customize their Specs. It also allows us to quickly respond to warranty issues and repairs since we have all the necessary equipment readily available.
I've tried a number of a different belay glasses (...) and I like the Belay Specs the best.

$100K for Southern California Scooter Passenger in Hit-and-Run Car Accident
GREAT settlement for scooter passenger in car vs. scooter accident...
Despite driver doing a hit-and-run, insurance coverage issues and dealing with the DMV, our team really helped a Southern California scooter passenger with her accident claim.
A yoga-loving interior designer was riding as a scooter passenger on the back of her friend's Vespa in San Diego, California. It was a sunny summer evening, and the young woman and her friend were trailing a few friends riding on scooters ahead of them. The group of scooters proceeded left on a busy San Diego city street, with the last scooter carrying the young interior designer on the back. Sadly, a woman driving a forthcoming car on the busy street failed to slow down after the Vespa turned in front of her, and rear-ended the back of the Vespa a high rate of speed. The impact resulted in the young woman and her friend being thrown from the Vespa, and onto the busy street. The driver of the car did not get out of her vehicle and drove off immediately after the car vs. scooter accident. The young woman was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, as she suffered multiple fractures to her body.
Overwhelmed and in Need of Help – Not to Worry
As one could imagine, this young woman was overwhelmed with her physical recovery and medical treatment alone. As a scooter passenger, she had not control over the accident, and even afterwards, she needed to gain control over her case. The added stress of losing income from being out of work, medical bills piling up, and tracking down insurance coverage on the vehicle that hit her became far too much for her to handle. Thus, she sought help from an experienced motorcycle accident attorney to assist her with her case. She found and retained California personal injury attorney Sally Morin to assist with her case. The Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers team immediately took everything off this young woman's plate so that she could focus on her physical recovery.
We Are Experts at Determining Which Insurance Coverage Applies
The nature of the accident made this woman's personal injury case more complex than a typical auto v. motorcycle accident claim. Due to the fact that she was a passenger in the accident, there were various potential avenues of recovery to explore—including the hit-and run driver's insurance and assets, her friend's motorcycle insurance, and her own insurance coverage. The Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers team thus scrutinized each option in order to find their client sufficient coverage for the medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering she endured as a result of the accident.
The team first worked on tracking down insurance coverage on the hit-and-run vehicle. Thankfully, there was a witness to the accident who was able to provide a description of the hit-and-run vehicle and the driver of the vehicle. A thorough investigation was performed by the San Diego Police Department, and they were able to track down the driver of the car and the license plate number. Unfortunately, it was discovered that the vehicle was uninsured and the driver was insolvent. The team thus turned to her friend's motorcycle insurance as well as their client's own vehicle insurance as possible avenues of recovery. However, unexpectedly, the police report found the young woman's friend to be mostly at fault for the accident. This ended up presenting additional challenges for the Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers team in the young woman's personal injury case.
Why Having Underinsured Motorist Coverage is Key
Although an uphill battle, the Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers team tackled each challenge thrown their way. First, her friend had minimum coverage on his Vespa, and thus only $15,000 of funds she could recover from his insurance policy. Although the woman wisely equipped herself with $100,000 of Underinsured/Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect her in this very scenario, her insurance carrier ended up denying her claim. Her carrier's denial ultimately left her with her friend's policy limit funds of up to $15,000—which would not cover even a fraction of this woman's damages. Despite her carrier's decision denying the claim, Sally Morin and her team of attorneys were determined to appeal this decision and figure out a work-around for a UIM or UM claim to stick. Having uninsured motorist coverage on your own car or other vehicle can even help you if your are a injured in an accident as a scooter passenger.
A dispute over liability was the first hurdle that Sally Morin had to overcome. Since the police report found her friend to be at fault for the accident, the woman's carrier decided that her friend was liable the accident. Thus, in order for her Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage to apply to her as a scooter passenger, she would need to first recover her friend's liability insurance coverage policy limits. However, her friend's insurance carrier placed the hit-and-run driver at fault for the accident, despite the finding in the police report. As a result, her friend's insurance denied a liability claim, and instead offered her the policy limits under her friend's Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage. Her insurance carrier therefore denied the UIM claim because there was no "liability" funds to recover, and her insurance policy prohibited UM/UIM funds from stacking on top of each other.
Our Personal Injury Team Pivoted to Help this Client go from $15k to $100k
The attorneys at Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers thus changed gears and shifted their focus on a plan B—pursue an Uninsured Motorist claim under her policy. They thought if they could get their client's insurance carrier to reverse their finding on liability, and place the hit-and-run driver at fault for the car vs. scooter accident, then the woman's Uninsured Motorist insurance coverage would apply to her as a scooter passenger and a claim would finally stick. Although it was difficult battle due to the decision in the police report, Sally Morin and her team of personal injury attorneys often encounter liability disputes in their motorcycle accident cases, and are thus very experienced at hammering down liability in their clients' favor. They were ultimately successful, and the insurance carrier reversed their liability finding and placed the hit-and-run driver at fault for the accident. However, the work did not end there—and the team hit their next road block in pursuit of the $100,000 of UM funds. The woman's insurance carrier demanded official documentation that the vehicle was uninsured in order for the UM claim to adhere.
Everyone LOVES Dealing with the DMV
Insert eye roll here. Ugh! The DMV! The Sally Morin law team thus worked diligently on getting official documentation from the California DMV verifying the hit-and-run vehicle was uninsured at the time of the accident. After months of work to get this documentation from the DMV, the DMV finally sent an official Certificate confirming that the vehicle was in fact uninsured. Their hard work finally paid off. Sally and her team were able to recover the entire UM policy limit funds of $100,000 to compensate the woman for the damages she suffered in the scooter accident.
Fantastic Result for a Fantastic Client

Weekend Contest 'What Is RIM Launching Autumn 2006?'
This Weekend's Contest is entitled 'What is RIM Launching Autumn 2006?' The reason for the contest is because in yesterday's conference call with investors, co-CEO Jim Balsillie said "Oh boy, autumn of 2006 is going to be special," referring to new products and services that RIM is planning on launching. This is a very strange move for RIM, especially seeing how RIM has historically been tight-lipped when talking about new products.
So what can this new product or service be that is making RIM's CEO all giddy like a little boy. Leaked pictures of the Cingular 7130c were leaked last week but that can't be it because it's not an entirely new device. A preview of BES 5.0 will be presented at RIM's trade show Wireless Enterprise Symposium 2006 in May, and when a new version of BES comes out then a new handheld OS is always close behind. But can RIM be that excited for a new OS? Probably not, but what if the new OS was bundled with an entirely new device, say the new consumer Blackberry that has been in the works.
Our guess is that we will finally see the consumer Blackberry this autumn. The reason for our guess is the Samsung T719, the new Samsung device with Suretype first revealed a few days ago at CTIA. Just like the automotive industry where collaboration between competing companies is nothing new, collaboration between RIM and Samsung makes sense. Samsung gets the SureType technology and probably some expertise in developing for the enterprise market. Whereas RIM gets technical expertise from Samsung in developing consumer devices.
But our guess is as good as yours. Post your own thoughts on what RIM is planning to drop autumn and you can win 1 of 3 copies of WGarage: Reverse Lookup, the program that allows you to see who called.

Sprouts, like any fresh live food, could carry harmful bacteria. Nothing grown in nature is sterile. Although we feel the risk of organic seed being contaminated with Salmonella or E.coli is very small, we do take it very seriously!
We sample each lot and probe every bag as it arrives in our warehouse. These samples then go directly to an independent lab for Salmonella and E. Coli tests. We keep seeds quarantined until the they are cleared.
We adhere to strict best manufacturing practices that insure the seed stays clean until it reaches you
Organic certification assures that seeds have been grown and handled in a manner that helps minimize possible sources of contamination. Manure used on organic fields, for example, must be composted for a long period. Composting has been shown to reduce or eliminate pathogens in manure. Organic farmers are also required to use rodent and bird proof storage for seeds destined for consumption.
Make sure that any seeds you buy have been handled as a food crop and not a farm planting seed crop. Seeds that have been in contact with animals or animal waste could be contaminated with Salmonella or E. Coli which could lead to food poisoning.
Wash your hands and sterilize any equipment or utensils before handling your seeds and sprouts.
Refrigerate finished sprouts in air-tight containers.
If you collect your own garden seeds, make sure to dry them and store them in a clean and rodent-free environment.
If you have any other questions please get in touch and remember:
"In a given year, getting hit by lightning (1.29 people per million) is more likely than contracting E. Coli (1.1 people per million) from meat, poultry, shellfish, milk, eggs and produce combined. Since produce represents the smallest risk of these foods (41 outbreaks in 5 years) and since sprouts represent an even smaller risk than produce (12 in 40 years), the benefits of eating sprouts dramatically, statistically and historically outweigh the contamination risks."

If we're being honest, Ringwood isn't a place we've dedicated much attention to in the past. While there are some great neighbourhood restaurants that way, it's often considered a suburb on the fringe.
Things are changing, though. In fact, developers have bet $665 million on it.
Last week, Eastland Shopping Centre re-opened with a major revamp following two years of construction. No longer a daggy suburban complex, the new Eastland brings serious high-end retailers and cult food outlets that have previously been reserved for inner-city dwellers.
For better or worse, this new shopping centre is a big change for this area of Melbourne. Here are our picks of what to check out when you stick your nose in.
Alpha60 has been one of Melbourne's favourite independent labels for more than 10 years. Now the minimalist brand that plays with texture, asymmetry and androgyny has a home in the city's outer east.
"It's a good introduction to new people who may never have found us," says Alex Cleary, one half of the brother-sister duo behind the brand. With showrooms in London and Paris, it's a bold move to head out into the suburbs, but Cleary is confident.
"Our customers used to live [in the] inner-city, but house prices are sending people further afield," he says. He also adds that the representation of Australian designers at Eastland was a selling point.
The Australian beauty retailer dips its toes into the new Eastland with not one but two outlets, right opposite each other – a Mecca Cosmetica and its sister store, Mecca Maxima. The boutiques are stocked with brands such as NARS, YSL and Urban Decay for all the goodies you need.
Among the monochromatic hues of other Australian designers, the rainbow colours of Gorman are hard to miss. Never a label to shy away from personality, the whimsical collections from Victorian owner and designer Lisa Gorman are pioneering sustainable Australian fashion, and are a welcome addition to the leafy outer suburbs.
Where would luxury fashion be without a Scandinavian addition to the pack? Finnish label Marrimekko brings its timeless, colourful prints to the new centre with its fourth Australian store.
Affordable, high-quality basics are abundant at Eastland. The Japanese retailer brings its iconic puffy down jackets and cashmere sweaters to the east; and was one of the first brands to announce its partnership with the new centre.
Jimmy Grants Deluxe
George Calombaris' interpretation of a traditional Athenian souvlaki bar can be found at Eastland in the form of its first "deluxe" restaurant. It features an expanded menu of grainy salads and fancy cocktails to add to the staple souvlakis (read: the ones filled with chips).
"While our first Jimmy Grants outposts have been more central to the city, it's always been our idea to bring Jimmy to the people," says Lauren Calleja, a spokesperson for Calombaris. Jimmy Grants is also expanding to Williamstown early next year.
Brioche by Philip
This bakery is your stop in the centre for high-quality sourdough, croissants and baguettes. Owner Phillip Chiang was French-trained in Tokyo, bringing an interesting Asian influence to his baked goods.
Hunter & Barrel Bar
This restaurant bar is a new venture from the people behind The Meat & Wine Co. "I love what Eastland is doing for the outer suburbs," says project manager Steve Scott. "We loved the idea of bringing a CBD experience to the suburbs."
You'll find a range of wines, craft beers and barrel-aged cocktails served with sharing platters, hearty stews and pies. It's already been hugely popular since the centre's opening last week.
Paco's Tacos
It's a scientific fact that there aren't many things better than Mexican street food. Here to trump Eastland's previous offerings of bland, inauthentic chain restaurants is Paco's Tacos, straight from Melbourne's CBD. It's fairly inexpensive and there are plenty of options for everyone – with gluten-free and vegetarian tacos as well as nachos, barbeque corn and churros. This is the very definition of the dream – now without pesky travel time into the city.
The steadily expanding burger chain has found a new audience in the outer east with its fourth permanent outlet. It seats 100 diners, and features a new exclusive house brew from Holgate Brewery.
Eastland Shopping Centre is now open at 171 – 175 Maroondah Highway, Ringwood.

ARC Hospitality Wheels and Deals
- By
- Jun 05, 2015
American Realty Capital Hospitality Trust plans to boost its portfolio again, this time adding five hotels in Texas, Tennessee and Ohio from affiliates of Wheelock Street Capital, L.L.C., for $92.5 million.
ARC Hospitality said it had entered into an agreement with affiliates of Wheelock Real Estate Fund, L.P., sponsored by the Greenwich, Conn.-based real estate private equity firm, for the purchase of the five select-service hotels with a total of 565 rooms. Once the deal closes in the fourth quarter, it would give the New York-based REIT a portfolio with 127 hotels totaling 15,487 rooms in 32 states. The acquisition will enhance ARC Hospitality's positioning as one of the largest owners of select-service hotels by enterprise value in the North American lodging REIT sector, according to a news release.
The REIT plans to acquire the fee simple interests in the Courtyard Austin Round Rock in Austin; the Courtyard College State in College Station, Texas; the Courtyard Nashville in Opryland in Nashville; the Fairfield Inn & Suites Nashville at Opryland in Nashville; and the Springhill Suites Cincinnati North/Forest Park in Cincinnati.
The Tennessean newspaper reported that ARC Hospitality recently acquired a 126-key Hyatt Place Hotel in Cool Springs, Tenn., for $19.9 million from a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs. The newspaper noted that ARC Hospitality also owns the Hampton Inn and Suites Nashville in Franklin, Tenn., and several other Tennessee hotels.
The REIT closed on its biggest deal – and the largest ever by a non-traded REIT industry – in February when it acquired the Equity Inns Lodging Portfolio of 116 hotels in 31 states from affiliates of the Whitehall Real Estate Funds sponsored by Goldman Sachs for $1.8 billion.
The company stated it planned on securing debt financing for the Wheelock acquisition.
The select-service hotels are all branded by Marriott International and located near corporate headquarters, colleges or universities, hospitals, tourist attractions, retail centers, convention centers or airports, the company said.
"We are delighted to acquire this outstanding portfolio of premium Marriott-branded hotels, which we believe are located in some of the nation's top-performing lodging markets and are proximate to a diverse base of powerful demand generators," Jonathan Mehlman, ARC Hospitality CEO, said in the release. "We believe the Wheelock Portfolio, if acquired, will further our position of leadership in the select-service lodging REIT sector as well as our platform's ability to drive shareholder value."
CFO Edward Hoganson called the portfolio "an excellent addition to what we believe is a best-in-class portfolio of select-service lodging properties."
He stated in the release that the acquisition, which is expected to be an off-market deal, would offer strong in-place cash flow and other value enhancement opportunities.
"We look forward to continuing to cultivate a strategic relationship with the highly talented Wheelock team, as well as working cohesively with Marriott International, through the closing of this transaction," Hoganson added in the prepared statement.
Since it was founded in 2008 by Rick Kleeman and Jonathan Paul, Wheelock has raised four funds. The latest closed in April 2014 with $625 million in capital commitments. The firm manages $1.4 billion of equity capital and has invested in a broad range of U.S. real estate assets including hospitality, retail, residential land and homebuilding, office, multi-family, including student housing, and mixed-use projects for institutional and high net-worth individual investors.

Have a nicer day
Ok, I must agree, that writing on this blog every day on one hand is great, because I can share my thoughts with you, my loyal readers, but on the other, there are days I would like rather to play online browser games instead of doing this. I am sorry, but I hope you will understand, that there are days when simply nothing is happening (like in boring skill game, which does not check any of your skills). Do you know what am I talking about? Sure you do! You also have days, when you come home, your partner ask you "How was your day?" and you do not know what to say. People, it is more than common that we just go out, drive to work, spend there eight hours and drive back, so why do we always torture others with those silly questions? And the best is, that we treat short answer (which really describes boring day) like a withdrawn. We should be more tolerant to those, whose day was just tiring and boring. My day today looks exactly like that. It is nine, I sit here form seven already bored and tired, so please give me a break and do not expect I will write something funny or so. I simply do not have energy. Ok, I am finishing and start playing online browser games. Have a nice day – nicer than me.Read More
Everything is changing
It is so great outside! Winter is gone and there are people wearing short sleeve everywhere. I must say that I am astonished by how everything is changing all over me – just like in some online browser game. One day I have to wear warm parka, another I am in my favourite t-shirt, enjoying the sun! I like high temperatures, but do it really must come so quickly – I am afraid of hypothermia. Ok, I know, I am grumpy today, but I just have lost in my personal best skill game – it moved me to thoughts, that everything is variable, and there are no sure things and I hate when world is changing fast. I have lost, playing online browser game with twelve years old kid from Egypt – isn't that unusual? It is not nowadays, but few years ago it would be like oriental. And this is about everything – traditions are changing, food also, music as well – I, man from small, provincial village, can not stand it! I like things to be constant, like my past results in skill games. You have probably noticed that I have some kind of spring depression (of course I have nothing against warm months), but think for a while – do you like that world is going forward so fast? No? I thought so! So – to sum up – enjoy the sun and don't be depressed, but do not support fast life and take care of tradition!Read More
Spring time
It was a great weekend! You know – first time after few months, when we had temperature above ten degrees, all the beer gardens were opened first from Autumn – just idyllic picture, I must say. I have finally left online browser games and went for a walk, on Saturday, and on Sunday. I had a few beers in nice atmosphere with my friends, and, what is the best, outside. We even had this idea of barbecue, but it turned out it is to cold in the evening. Generally my point is, that people change after winter – I remember that just a week ago we were playing skill games, drinking hot wine, and being afraid of going outside! I do not know anybody who like such life – warm months are definitely the most popular in my Country. So, we will now spent more time outside, but it does not mean I will play online browser games less. This is my hobby and I will not leave it just because I can spent more time outdoor. No! I will simply play at night, because playing skill games is my way to relax myself! Because I am now at work I came up with another idea – I can play online browser games here. My boss did not notice that during the winter, so he will not notice it now – he is to busy not being happy about the change of the seasons. Ok, so you now know what to do during this beautiful aura – how to reconcile online browser games and weather. My mission is accomplish, so I will finally do something more job-able. I hate Mondays!Read More
We are not gods
I must say, that we are far away from God. I have in mind that we create things, like online browser game, but he created much more! He created world, animals and finally us, with all the love, hate and stuff like this. We wont be able to create characters with so complex personality, but we can influence ours, like by playing skill games online. Do you know this feeling when you play something and you emotions just go higher and higher? This adrenaline shot, this sense of competition. I just love it! I love playing online browser games to make myself feeling alive (I know, this sounds weird, but playing online browser games makes me fill it, really!). So, back to the core, I agree that God is one and only (does not matter how we call him), and we should not try to imitate him. Creating intelligent programmes, machines is very dangerous, and we should stop doing such things. Haven't you watched terminator? I am afraid that it could become real some day. That is why we should stay at this level of development – drugs, technology and online browser games – that is all, we do not anything else. We have to be more pious. There are even religious skill games, so you can, you really have such possibility!Read More
Senior player
Online browser games? What is it? – This is my grandmothers question she once asked me. In fact it was about a year ago, she was then seventy-five years old. Can you imagine? No, I am not upset that she did not know what it is, I am impressed by her curiosity! She asked because she heard my conversation with parents, who claim that I play too much skill games. After her question, their stopped focusing on me – we were all to shocked. I explained, even showed what online browser games are, and she even made some scores. She enjoyed it so much, that after some days she started attending computer and Internet using course for seniors at local University. She is now playing skill games better than me (not amazing, I have to work and she is retired) and she says that she has met a lot of new friends on the course. She enjoyed it so much, that now she is at the university more often than real students. I thing it is good that some old people like to develop themselves even in Autumn of their lives. I am also thankful for those people teaching them, because now I have shared language with my Grannie, even though still can not communicate with my parents.I want to be such senior (if i will be alive around my seventies).Read More

C'mon Jack Harris, how hard is it to put your phone on vibrate?
The NDP MP for St. John's East looked a tad embarrassed when a shrill 'brrrrrrrriiinng' interrupted him during question period on Wednesday.
Unsurprisingly, the flub elicited a chorus of boos from his fellow members of Parliament and a shocked look from NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau, seated behind him. Maybe next time Harris will remember that "the use of cellular phones is not allowed in the Chamber," according to House of Commons Procedure and Practice.
Defence Minister Peter Mack quipped back, "I think that was the honourable member's truth calling, but he's not answering." Harris had been asking a question on information related to the suicide of Corporal Stuart Langridge.
But hey, everyone has made this mistake once, right? At least he learned his -- brrrrrrrriiinng. That's right, Harris's cellphone interrupted his speech not once, but twice. Um, Jack, are you going to get that? Maybe he's screening what @pdmcleod described as possibly the "best CPC crank call ever."

As federal officials work to clear a permitting path for offshore wind farms, experts at the Board of Public Utilities are hashing out rules for subsidies that will help developers who are eager to begin work for the emerging industry.
Both sides say they are close to consensus.
Earlier this year, the Obama administration announced plans to fast-track wind projects near several states, including New Jersey, and to spend $50 million to speed up development of wind farms. Now the state is designing subsidies to help pay for the projects and providing their lenders with at least some guaranteed income.
The payments were the subject of a meeting in Trenton yesterday where offshore wind executives, power industry representatives and the state Division of the Rate Counsel, which advocates for consumers, haggled over rules that will be sent on to the BPU for approval.
Wind developers are pushing for several provisions, including one that would allow them to change personnel, ownership or financing arrangements with a quick, 30-day approval process from the BPU. Stephanie Brand, the head of rate counsel, is against that idea.
"I'm open to you having the ability to seek changes,'' Brand said, "but I don't think I could sign off if the board doesn't have time to consider them.''
BPU staff agreed that time frame seemed tight.
The wind companies again pushed for greater freedom, pointing out that if they suddenly lose a key engineer, their project could be held up.
"If you come to us and say, 'Our chief engineer, his wife got a new job in Washington state, and they're gone,' by that point, you're far down the line and it's in our interests as well (to respond quickly)," said BPU staffer Jake Gertsman. "Once you get a board order and a federal lease, we're with you on this."
Brand said she was more concerned about changes to ownership and financing than professional staff changes for wind projects, and pointed out that while wind investors are putting money at risk, so are New Jersey's ratepayers, who will fund the projects some way or another.
"We are lenders, and we're a little skittish ourselves," Brand said. "I think the skittish lenders will have some assurances, and the skittish ratepayers will have some assurances."
A Rockland Electric representative urged the BPU to keep the ability to revoke subsidy payments if wind developers fail to meet promises. The developers objected.
"The principle is okay, but there has to be flexibility, because as we all know, none of the time frames we thought would be there three, four years ago have come to pass," said Rob Gibbs, vice president of PSEG's joint wind venture, Garden State Offshore Energy.
The Retail Energy Supply Association, which represents electricity suppliers, asked the BPU to agree to provide price schedules years in advance. "We need some assurance of what the price will be and that it will be provided to us," said Gabrielle Figueroa, an attorney for the organization.
As the meeting ended, Gertsman said he thought they were close to rules that could satisfy both sides.
"You're right, I think we are close," said Erich Stephens, vice president of OffshoreMW, a company planning to put turbines 14 miles off the coast of Brigantine, a proposal backed with financing from the Blackstone Group.
After a final meeting of stakeholders on Nov. 15, the rules will be decided by the commissioners of the BPU.

Few bargains in biotech acquisitions
September 2008
When I was a kid, one of my favorite TV shows was The Beverly Hillbillies, the story of a dirt-poor family from Appalachia whose property just happened to be seeping oil. In an early episode, the none-too-wordly Jed and Granny were hosting "Cousin Pearl," who asks about the amount of money the oil company was offering for the oil rights, thinking they may have been hoodwinked by the slick Mr. Brewster. When Jed says, "325, but they are paying in a funny kind of dollar," Pearl's eyebrows raise, expecting the worst. " A funny kind of dollar?" she asks.
"Yes," declares Jed, proud that he has something of value and giving the impression the even $325 is a lot of money for hill folk such as he. "Granny, what kind of dollars did Mr. Brewster say he was paying us?"
"Million dollars," says Granny.
I'm reminded of this often these days, as the M&A bubblings in the biotech markets have turned into what could be seen as a raging boil. And the funny dollars out there these days don't begin with an "m" rather a "b".
But a funny thing happened on the way to the biotech bargain basement the big companies had been picking over, the pharmas and biotechs on display like so many shirts on a clearance rack at Nordstrom's: the acquisition targets started saying, "No, we don't want your funny billion dollars, we're worth more."
Now far be it for me to say that simply because a company is willing to step up to the plate with more than a billion dollars, company executives should drop to their knees and thank God. After all, these CEOs and boards of directors do have a fiduciary responsibility to get every last dollar out of any deal from a potential suitor.
Rather, what seems to be perhaps not funny, but shifting, is the amount these targets are willing to push (and perhaps how brazen some acquirers are being by offering short money).
In a market that saw roughly $60 billion in acquisitions in America and another $34 billion in Europe in 2007, according to Windhover Information, there are some notable offers on the table as I write this where companies have turned up their noses, as if asked to eat week-old leftovers.
Most notable is the current $44 billion offer made by Roche for superstar biotech Genetechpromptly rejectedand the recent attempt by Bristol-Myers Squibb to snatch up the 83 percent of ImClone shares it doesn't already own for $4.5 billion. ImClone, too, said, "no thanks."
While many see these rebuffs as ploys to extract more cash, there is another force at work here. It used to be that big pharma scanned the playing field for the smaller, emerging biotechs, whose pipeline or discovery platform showed promise for future drugs years down the road. The cost of failure in these cases was much smaller and the dollars paid were likewise small and adjusted for risk. The point is, big pharma companies were at least more willing to take those risks in the past.
Now, as pharma companies have been stung by huge multi-billion dollar settlements for adverse effects of blockbuster drugs, the M&A focus has shifted from biotechs of promise (and risk) to those bigger biotechs that have been able to pull themselves through and develop and market their own drugs, some to the tune of billions a year in revenue. In other words: safe bets with not just a pipeline of drug candidates, but also a solid pipeline of greenbacks.
There is one problem here, though. The safer the big pharmas try to be with their acquisitions of biotechs, the more wary these same biotechs become of them. The standard thinking in this regard is the employees and managers of successful biotechseven big onesfear being gobbled up by the big marketing machineI mean big pharmawill sound the death knell for the innovation they are accustomed to. This, despite the argument that some of these biotechs have become the mirror image of those they disdain.
While it would be hard to classify pharma companies as desperate, it's not hard to imagine there are some dry mouths in boardrooms where they need to find something to do to fill their drying wells. As more and more biotechs say no to their pharma suitors, those funny billion dollars will be getting bigger for each and every approved drug a biotech has in its stable.
Which begs the question: when will big pharma stop looking outward to simply acquire someone else's marketable drug and turn their attention back inward, to their own flagging discovery operations? A place, I might add, where it should have looked all along. DDN

DJ Profile
This is Dada Land. Get ready to arrive beautiful and leave ugly. There are no rules but the rules of Dada. Don't look back in the past. Always go forward. And whatever you do: don't trust usWith a sense of humor as big as their bass drops, Swedish duo Dada Life separated themselves from the EDM competition as they rose to fame during the 2010-2011 season. Stockholm-based DJs/producers Olle Corneer and Stefan Engblom came together in 2006, combining pop-leaning electro sounds (the "Life" bit) with absurd slogans — "Bass don't cry," "Never bring your...brain to a rave" — and an over-the-top attitude that reflected the avant-garde art movement of the 1910s and '20s ("Dada").
Their single "The Great Fashonista Swindle" (2006, Pickadoll) parodied the Sex Pistols with its artwork, "The Great Smorgasbord" (2006, Southern Fried) introduced their love of processed meat, while "Do the Dada" (2007, Alphabet City) introduced their love of being self-referential, but all of them would fill the floor wherever slick electro was welcomed. They went official in 2009 with their debut album Just Do the Dada, released by the Hussle label and featuring track titles like "Don't Snort the Yellow Snow" and "So You Wanna Be a Prankster?" A tour followed introducing Europe to their kinetic live show where inflatables flew through the crowd, while booking agents were forced to "Do the Dada" themselves, as the duo's tour rider stated that the backstage area must be filled with champagne and bananas, or the venue was punished with a tech-house set, all tracks being 188 BPM or below.
The year 2010 saw them touring with Tiësto, remixing everyone from Kylie Minogue to Chickenfoot, and collaborating with Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike, and Tara McDonald for the hit, "Tomorrow (Give In to the Night)." In 2011 they headlined the Electric Daisy Festival in Los Angeles — augmenting their set with a live marching band — dropped the hit "Kick Out the Epic Motherf*&cker" single on their own So Much Dada label, and released their computer audio plug-in, the Sausage Fattener, allowing fellow laptop producers access to "sausage fat" bass. Their new logo, two bananas forming a crest around a champagne bottle, debuted on their 2011 single "White Noise/Red Meat" and was featured on their sophomore album, 2012?s The Rules of Dada.

Like the rest of the world, we are closely following the development of the Covid-19 pandemic and its consequences with horror. Our national authority guidelines and decisions change almost daily, and we know as little as everyone else about when the epidemic may be over and life can begin to return to normal.
In recent weeks, we have been working diligently to investigate the possibilities of postponing the festival.
Since there are so many people involved (artists, crew, employees, suppliers, partners, authorities, etc.) and there are so many different issues to look through, we ask for your patience and understanding that we need a little more time.
We also ask for understanding that we will not be able to communicate any details about this until we have made absolutely sure what is possible and what is not. No later than mid-April, we will give you detailed information about this year''s festival, why and what is going to happen moving forward.

What is Atmospheric Pressure?
What Is Pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is also called barometric pressure because barometers are used to measure it. Atmospheric pressure, barometric pressure, and air pressure all refer to the same thing: the weight of the atmosphere at any location, generated by the downward force of gravity. Pressure decreases with increasing elevation because there is less air above you.
How Is It Measured?
Electronic pressure sensors used in AcuRite products and most home weather stations measure pressure changes through device that includes a quartz membrane secured over an evacuated chamber. As this flexes with changes in pressure, it measures the strain due to an applied force over an area. The output of voltage fluctuations are then converted to digital to be used on home weather displays or your online apps and weather dashboards.
Why Do I Care?
Atmospheric pressure changes occur with large-scale high and low pressure systems moving across the Earth. High pressure generally implies clear skies and uneventful weather while low pressure generally implies clouds, precipitation, and active weather. Most home weather stations can help you understand what weather is on the way by tracking the pressure trend.
One pressure measurement alone doesn't help meteorologists understand the weather, but if we have multiple readings of increasing or decreasing pressure values, then we can have some idea of the forecast. Increasing pressure tells us higher pressure is coming and skies will clear up, while decreasing pressure signals a low pressure system is on its way bringing clouds and possibly rain.
The warm and cold fronts accompanying these high and low pressure systems are what trigger rain and severe weather events. You may recognize this image from the National Weather Service, similar to weather maps often shown by your local TV meteorologist. You will see precipitation along and ahead of the fronts associated with low pressure, while generally uneventful weather accompanies high pressure systems.
