Meet our Tiger family
Three Sumatran Tiger cubs were born at Taronga Zoo Sydney on Thursday 17 January 2019. With only 350 Sumatran Tigers left in the wild, these cubs are incredibly important, representing nearly 1% of the total wild population of tigers.
Our three cubs are settling into Tiger Trek with their mother, Kartika. Their father, Clarence, uncle Kembali and grandmother Jumilah make up the rest of our tiger family at Taronga Zoo Sydney.
What to expect
Just like any other youngsters, the cubs are likely to have bursts of energy and play actively together, before resting close to mum, wherever she might be at the time. As a result, Kartika and her cubs may be in areas of the exhibit that are hard to see, especially as they all get comfortable in her new environment.
If you're unsure of whether you'll be able to see the cubs when you visit, our Tiger Trek team members can give you an idea of how visible the cubs are at the time, before you choose to enter.
About Tiger Trek
Tiger Trek is an Indonesian-themed immersive experience, providing an amazing opportunity for you to get up-close with these magnificent, critically endangered Sumatran Tigers and learn how simple shopping choices can help to preserve their precious, natural habitat.
During your Tiger Trek experience, you will board your flight to Sumatra and be transported to the beautiful forests of Way Kambas National Park to see the magnificent Sumatran Tiger. Explore the village, and discover how we all have a role to play in saving this species from extinction by choosing Certified Sustainable Palm Oil.
The Tiger Trek experience is the natural expansion of Taronga's efforts to help save the Sumatran Tiger.
How you can act
We all know the importance of using environmentally-sustainable products, and palm oil is no different. If it's grown sustainably, palm oil can help protect valuable species like the Sumatran Tiger, and the forests they live in.
We celebrate companies that use Certified Sustainable Palm Oil in their products. The more companies transform their supply chain, the more Australians can enjoy their favourite treat free from deforestation.

Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) took his first Paris-Roubaix victory as he out-sprinted surprise package Silvan Dillier (Ag2r La Mondiale) in a two-up sprint in Roubaix's famous velodrome.
That win came a week after Niki Terpstra (Quick-Step Floors) took a superb solo victory in the Tour of Flanders ahead of Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segrafredo) while defending champion Philippe Gilbert made sure that there were two Quick-Step Floors riders on the podium.

For many people, Paris-Roubaix marks the end of the best period of racing of the year, leaving a void that can only with these five suggestions on how to fill your time.
1. Get out on your bike
If, like me, you watched Paris-Roubaix from start to finish on Sunday – all six glorious hours of it – you may not have had time for that overdue century ride.
With the clocks having sprung forward and the coverage of the cobbled Classics behind us, there are even more hours to actually ride a bike rather than just watch other people doing it (at speeds you can only dream of).
Perhaps now is the time to explore new routes, increase your monthly mileage or simply get some miles in on your best bike.
2. Watch the upcoming Ardennes Classics
The cobbled Classics aren't the only races this spring, although it probably feels that way when you remember that urban climbs through industrial areas of Liège really don't quite have the romanticism of the Paterberg or Trouée d'Arenberg.
Never mind, the triptych of the Ardennes Classics is about the kick-off starting with the Amstel Gold Race on Sunday April 15.
This is swiftly followed by Flèche Wallonne on Wednesday April 18 and Liège-Bastogne-Liège on Sunday April 22.
Philippe Gilbert won all three races in his stellar 2011 season, and no one has achieved this feat in the four years since. Could someone take the hat trick 2018?
3. Think ahead to next year's cobbled Classics
Ok, we're thinking a bit further ahead here, but next year's cobbled Classics already look like an exciting prospect.
Twelve months ago we might have been tipping Greg Van Avermaet to continue his cobbles domination, but this year's action shows that the racing could be more open than ever in 2019.
The six cobbled WorldTour races this year produced four different winners, with only Niki Terpstra and Peter Sagan able to take any repeat victories.
Fingers crossed for plenty more open racing in 2019 and the emergence of more contenders for cobbled victories.
4. Relive the action
With plenty of highlights to watch, you could just deny the fact that the best part of the professional season is over and relive it all on a daily basis.
Perhaps not a healthy approach in the long run, but split up between riding your own bike and dreaming of a British 1-2 on the podiums of Flanders and Roubaix next year, this should see you out until the Giro d'Italia starts. A small consolation, I know.
5. Plan your next training camp
If you've been inspired to get out on your bike by the professional action this spring, but have found your fitness wanting from too many afternoons spent sat in front of Eurosport rather than doing any pedalling yourself, then maybe it's time to kickstart your season's training with a nice, sunny training camp.
The good news is that we've got a few tips on how to make the most of your training camp experience, all the way from choosing a location to your individual days on the bike.

Malaga, the provincial capital and the biggest city on the Costa del Sol, is roughly 8 kilometres from its international airport.
Every day in Malaga, you can experience the buzz of city life combined with the sea breeze and beach life. The last decade has seen a dramatic change as the city has transformed its image from that of an industrial city to become a flourishing cultural centre. The city offers a wide range of activities and experiences. The port, the beach and the historical city centre have been redeveloped over the years and now offer a diversity of culture and commerce, as well as wonderful Andalusian cuisine.
The wide range of experiences includes activities such as golf, hiking in the mountains, skiing and many aquatic activities, for example sailing all year round.
There is a subtropical Mediterranean climate so the city enjoys sunshine all year and has some of the warmest winters in Europe, with a daytime temperature that rarely falls below 15 degrees.

Meticulously selecting the best skin care and make-up products from around the world by a tireless team, Hermo presents exactly what women need at an affordable price.
History of Hermo Malaysia
Founded in 2012, Hermo was actually started by two men with no knowledge about makeup or beauty products whatsoever! Co-founders PS Chong and Ian Chua saw the potential of online retail in Malaysia and other Southeast Asian nations, especially in the beauty segment. The time spent on acquiring specific products and getting ready by their female friends and family members caught their attention early on and they realized that this segment was only going to balloon in the future.
While there were websites offering cosmetics and other products at various discounts, the low prices often came at the cost of poor quality or being a cheap replica. They then decided to enter the beauty segment and create an affordable online presence where users could buy beauty and skin-related products which were of a higher quality than what was available locally and in-demand. Even though this business venture didn t receive much appreciation from their family members initially, they persevered and now Hermo is the leading online beauty presence in Asia.
Another aspect that spurred the popularity of Hermo is the ever-present deals and sales. The founders believe that no one can ever have enough products, especially with styles and trends constantly changing. Customers can take advantage of various promo codes, vouchers, coupons and promotions during the sales to purchase their favourite products at a huge discount. Some of the leading sales in the year include the 11.11 Singles Day Sale, Black Friday, New Year Sale and the innovative 12.12 Beauty Takeover Sale.

How to Create Export Invoices
To create an Export invoice, follow the below steps:
- Select the option of 'Sales Invoices' on your dashboard
- Now, you will get the option to create different kinds of sales documents
- If you want to make a bill for any goods, then click on 'New Export Invoice'
But first, let us understand these fields:
- For Invoice No, write the serial number of the bill
- If you have not set the serial number of bills, then click on Set Sequence
- Then, choose the GSTIN for which you want to make the bill and set a prefix such as EXP or series start such as 001 and then save. Or, if you have set prefixes earlier, these will appear automatically
- Set the invoice date
- Select the Export type carefully
Let's understand each option under Export Type
Deemed Exports– Those transactions in which goods supplied do not leave the country, and payment for such supplies is received either in Indian rupees or in free foreign exchange. For example- supply of goods by a DTA (Domestic Tariff Area) to EOU (Export Oriented Unit) is within India still deemed as an export of goods or services
Export under Bond/ LUT– Supply goods or services, or both, under bond or Letter of Undertaking, without payment of IGST, and then claim a refund of unutilized ITC on purchases of inputs used for supplying the exported goods or services
Export with IGST– Any exporter or United Nations or Embassy or other agencies/bodies who supply goods or services, or both, paying the IGST, can claim the refund of such IGST paid on the supplied goods or services, or both.
SEZ– Since the supply of goods or services to SEZ is treated as zero-rated supply, hence no IGST will be paid. Enter GSTIN of the receiver, country of supply will be India, the currency will be INR.
- Under Due Date, write the date when you will collect payment against the sale but filling this detail is not mandatory
- For Reference Number, add any information relevant to you such as Order number etc
- Mention the number, date of shipping bill issued by customs authorities for clearances. It is to be noted that even if the details are not available you may create an export bill, however you must mention the details before applying for claim of refund of taxes paid
- Enter the code of the shipping port. For example AEAU for Abu Dhabi
- Enter Customer name, if not saved earlier create a new contact
- Shipping address will be the address where the goods have been shipped
- Country of Supply will be the country where goods have been supplied and delivered
- Set the Conversion rate, this rate will be mentioned on the bill of export or export manifest issued by the custom authorities
- Enter the item details, create a new item if needed
- As you can see the total value of the bill will be available ,in terms of INR and Foreign Currency
- After you have filled all the fields, click on save
- After saving the invoice, you will find an option to print the bill, click and fill details of your business address and the invoice is now ready to be printed

Terrorism and the Rule of Law: Perspectives from Israel and the United States
The mounting threat of terrorism poses legal challenges to democratic societies. How can they effectively interrogate and detain suspected terrorists, while still protecting basic human rights? Experts from Israel and the United States discussed the challenges of providing an adequate legal framework for contending with the new threat posed by international terrorism in the 21st century and options for future progress.
Terrorism and the Rule of Law: Perspectives from Israel and the United States
The persistent threat of terrorism continues to pose challenges for lawmakers and government officials in democracies all over the world. The relationship between personal freedoms and counterterrorism measures also raises numerous ethical and legal questions. An expert panel addressed these topics at a Wilson Center on the Hill event on November 12 entitled "Terrorism and the Rule of Law: Perspectives from Israel and the United States." Speaking on Capitol Hill, Sonya Michel, Director ofUnited States Studies, introduced a distinguished group of speakers who are part of the International Task Force on Terrorism, Democracy and the Law.
Ulrich Sieber, director of the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law , began the discussion by stating that reactions to terrorism can have unintended consequences that suppress personal freedoms. In this way, he warned, the reaction to terrorism in democracies can ultimately undermine their core values. In his view, "It is "most important to balance security and liberty."
Mordechai Kremnitzer, vice president of research at the Israel Democracy Institute, continued by outlining three obligatory requisites to defeating terrorism: international cooperation, learning from successes and failures, and a proper balance between efficiency and rule of law/democracy. The task force was focusing on detention and the use of force. Should reaching a consensus on those issues be impossible, he assured the audience, at least a dialogue will be fostered.
Matthew Waxman, associate professor at Columbia Law School and former U.S. government official, drew on his own experience in dealing with questions of security. He noted that American lawmakers have something to gain from looking abroad on these issues, not for the sake of borrowing specific statutes, but to see more generally what lessons other countries have learned when it comes to detention. Waxman echoed Sieber's interest in "common values" that democracies have an interest in protecting, and he urged a "harmonization" of legal approaches to detention. When it comes to detention, he said, agreement on legal standards would facilitate cooperation in military support, intelligence sharing and other efforts.
Waxman then addressed some of the challenges associated with using "law of war" provisions in connection with detention of terrorism suspects. Traditional law of war, he said, is difficult to adapt to a conflict without boundaries or clearly identified combatants, such as the struggle against terrorism.
The use of secret evidence to incriminate terrorists poses many challenges to democratic legal structures, according to Kent Roach, professor of law at the University of Toronto. Discussing the use of secret evidence today and its implications on just trials, he focused on the Canadian and British systems, which rely on "special advocates" in cases with secret evidence. Under this model, specially trained and cleared advocates are made available to review secret evidence. The program has proven mostly successful in Canada, Roach noted, but it has garnered some criticism in the UK because advocates are not allowed to communicate with detainees after seeing secret evidence.
Amos Guiora, professor of law at the University of Utah College of Law, provided a defense for what he regarded as one of the most important questions today: "When is intelligence information actionable?" To answer this question, four things must be considered: the proven reliability of the informant, the plausibility/timeliness of the information, relevance, and corroborability. "In order for detention to be grounded in reality,," he maintained, "we have to be sure that the intelligence that would serve as the basis of it meets this four-part test."
Questions from the audience addressed the suppression of personal freedoms and the extent to which there even needs to be a "war" on terrorism. Seiber expressed concern about "false positives" that can lead to wrongful detention, while Waxman described the difficulties in defining so-called enemies. The best way to prevent and combat terrorism, the panelists agreed, was through an approach grounded in the rule of law.

REVENGE PORN: Schoolgirls, local women targeted
SCHOOLGIRLS and other unsuspecting Fraser Coast women are being targeted online through a malicious "revenge porn" site.
The Chronicle can expose the site, which purports to have hundreds of explicit images of locals, after a five-month investigation.
The disturbing site Aussie Sluts, where intimate and/or explicit self images and video footage are posted and distributed, has become a haven for predators here and around the globe.
The pictures are commonly uploaded to the site by jilted ex-partners and hackers.
In an alarming trend, images of school students and local young women from the Maryborough and Hervey Bay regions are frequently requested and, in some cases, delivered.
Warning as jilted lovers and hackers target local women, girls
Girls from one particular high school, which will be kept anonymous in the interest of protecting it's students, are requested by name.
Dutch police are understood to have seized the website in the last 48 hours however the content was last night still available online.
Maryborough police were first made aware of the site's contents in December and are continuing to investigate whether teenagers and other residents have been compromised.
One formal complaint was made to police and has since been dealt with.
On the forum, users list specifications for the kind of image they are after.
The girl's first name and last initial or full last name are posted alongside their images.
One thread, titled "Maryborough sluts lots of them" had 199 posts and 150 images.
A responder posted "Great job guys! Keep me coming!"
On April 1, a user commented under a photo that he was going to go into a popular Maryborough pub on the weekend and would "smash a schooner over the ugly sluts face".
Earlier this year, another user asked for pictures of "any bay girls" while someone going under the name "Hervey Bay Anon" posted "let's start a new thread and share the goods".
The website was taken down in 2014 and 2015 but in both years, the content reappeared as a torrent and was archived allowing anyone to continue to access images.
Images are posted onto the site's message board which is commonly divided up categorically by countries and states with headings titled "sluts by state".
Shutting down these international hosts is particularly difficult.
Prosecuting anonymous offenders is also problematic but police still want victims to come forward.
Detective Senior Sergeant David Briese from the Maryborough Crime Investigation Branch confirmed officers were investigating local cases of 'revenge porn' being posted on websites.
"We take cyber bullying, online harassment and instances of revenge porn very seriously," he said.
"Anything of that nature which is reported is investigated.
"We are aware of this website and we are conducting investigations surrounding the matter."
How many people visit the site?
AN INVESTIGATION by News Regional revealed the website attracts 21.6 thousand daily visitors with a daily unique visitor count of 21,550.
According to the company's IT specialists, the site is believed to reach 646,500 monthly unique visitors with 5.41 pages seen per visit and daily page-views reaching 116,586.
America had the highest number of overseas users, accounting for 22 per cent, while Australia was responsible for 12.6 per cent.
The investigation also revealed the original source of the website, was likely a host in Europe.
On April 25 Dutch police seized the domain anon-ib which the Chronicle understands was the culprit.
In August 2016, it was revealed students from 71 Australian schools were targeted by the pornography ring.
Pressure to take sexual "selfies" revealed in shock report
A SHOCK number of people are falling victim to non-consensual "selfie" sharing.
In 2016, 4274 people participated in a survey conducted by RMIT University titled Australians' Experiences of Image-Based Abuse.
Of the participants, 56 per cent (2,406) were female and 44 per cent (1,868) were male and ranged in age from 16 to 49.
A survey summary found 23 per cent of respondents had experienced at least one form of image-based abuse which could be photos or videos where a person was nude, engaged in a sex act or showering or bathing.
The survey suggested men and young adults were more likely to voluntarily share a nude or sexual image of themselves with 47 per cent of participants admitting to sending a person a sexual image of themselves at least once.
However, pressured and/or unwanted sexual self-images were common with 30 percent of respondents saying they complied when they didn't want to.
Perpetrators of abuse were more likely to be male and known to the victim with 54 per cent of victims reporting the perpetrator was male, 33 per cent of perpetrators female and 13 per cent were either unknown or in a mixed group of both male and female perpetrators.
About 20 per cent of respondents said they had someone take a nude or sexual photo or video of them without permission and 11 per cent had images or videos distributed to others without consent.
Currently, Queensland has no criminal or civil penalties specifically for image-based abuse.
Prevention is the key, says expert
RATHER than waiting for new laws to be introduced, one University of Sunshine Coast law expert believes the focus should be on the dangers of explicit image sharing.
Criminology and Justice Lecturer Dr. Nadine McKillop (pictured) said despite the many advantages that came with development of the digital world, there were also new opportunities for exploitative behaviour, such as revenge porn.
"One of the key things we're concerned about is that 'digital natives', the young people who have grown up with technology and social media since birth, now use this technology as a routine method for courting and negotiating intimate relationships," she said.
"The difference from then and now is there's a platform of permanency when it comes to image-sharing.
"If you post a photo which you've taken of yourself, or someone else posts on your behalf, it could be used by others for different intentions, and without your consent."
Dr McKillop said it was difficult for victims to feel closure as these images were not easily removed from cyber space.
"A lot of the time, the people who maliciously upload photos aren't thinking beyond the immediate purpose (for example, revenge) and aren't likely to be considering that the photos could be used for exploitation purposes or something else."
"It is very difficult to remove things like this from the internet and kids haven't necessarily worked out that - in some cases - the consequences can be devastating.
"This is compounded by lack of knowledge by young people that posting sexual images of people under-age, even if they're in a relationship with them, could constitute an offence"
"We need to work with young people and discuss with them whether they should be taking photos and the boundaries around the trust and safe, consenting behaviours in a relationship," she said.
"Once (the picture) is in someone else's hands, you have no control over how that image is used and once it's on the internet, you have even less control."
Victim speaks out.. teacher's trust broken
THE Chronicle has spoken with a victim whose photos were posted to the site buy someone she trusted.
When Coast teacher Tammy* met with a man on popular dating app Tinder last year, little did she know nude photos would be taken and video footage captured of her during sexual activity.
"I trust too many, too often, so yes, I believed he was trustworthy as he had made the impression to be a friend," she said.
The pair met locally where they engaged in sexual activity in which time, she noticed he had his phone which she "whacked out of his hand".
Thinking the man was "mucking around", she didn't pursue it further.
It wasn't until she was contacted by a number of other girls, who said her name was attached to revealing images online, that she realised she had been betrayed.
"The images clearly show his room so I am now aware that he had actually recorded my images/video without consent," she said.
"I was in total disbelief. In no way did I think anyone I had been in contact with would share such images online."
A close friend of Tammy went onto the forum to see the images for herself and in the process, discovered school-aged girls were being targeted.
After discovering her images, Tammy immediately went to local police to report the breach of privacy.
While there are no laws which specifically target the person who betrayed her trust, Tammy hopes that will soon change.
In the meantime, she will continue to help protect other women, particularly vulnerable teens, from suffering as she has.
"Just do not send your private images to anyone," she said.
"If you do, remember that your permission to one does not mean that you approve for anyone else to utilise your images.
"To be sexy you don't need to show nudity," she said.
"You can be fully clothed and be gorgeous but once those images are online, you'll never get them back."
Push to follow southern states in image law reform
WHILE most states have yet to specifically introduce "selfie" laws, NSW and Victoria are leading the charge.
In 2017, the New South Wales Government introduced the Crimes Amendment (Intimate Images) Bill 2017.
The Bill addresses the government's commitment to reforms which address the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, also known as "revenge porn" or "image-based abuse".
"Non-consensual sharing of intimate images is a serious invasion and violation of a person's privacy," the Bill read.
"It can have severe impacts on the victim, causing the victim shame, embarrassment and humiliation.
"It can also have adverse consequences for the victim's reputation, family, friends and employment."
Parliamentary inquiries in both NSW and at the Commonwealth expressed concerns regarding the effects and lack of "effective criminal law response to date".
The Bill introduced new offences in a bid to deter and punish those who share non-consensual images and ensures victims are protected under the criminal law.
Offenders of sharing non-consensual intimate images, defined as still or moving images, can attract fines of up to $11,000.
In Victoria, there are the offences 'distributing an intimate image without consent' and 'threatening to distribute an intimate image without consent'.
Anyone who finds they are a victim of image-based abuse can report it to the eSafety Commissioner by calling 1800880176.

Tired of heading to the computer room every time you want to look something up? A wireless network can offer a solution. Even if you're not fluent in tech-speak, setting up a network is easy. If your computer isn't already outfitted with wireless capabilities (most newer models are), there's an easy fix: desktops need a USB wireless adapter; laptops need a wireless card. If your desktop is already using all of its available USB ports, you can buy a hub that plugs into the computer, leaving open ports on the hub that are still connected.
Once you begin to set up the network, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it's best to purchase a wireless router versus a wireless access point. Access points let one user access a single network, while routers allow for more than one computer to access the same network using one IP address that is provided to connected computers. Another key difference between a router and an access point is that routers include firewall technology for better network security.
When choosing a router, pay attention to the letter after the speed (it'll be "a," "b," "g," or "n," in order alphabetically from oldest to newest). Though "n" is the newest choice, the better choice may be "g" if you don't have the latest computer model. If not fully compatible, you might experience a lag in service.
If you live in a large home rather than an apartment, you may want to purchase a signal booster. It will increase the strength of the base station, improving wireless connections throughout the home. If you choose to go without a signal booster, choose a central location for the router, such as the living room or den, where you would most likely use your computer.
Be sure to secure your network with passwords and network names that are difficult to guess. If possible, enable settings to WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) encryption versus WEP (Wired Equivalency Privacy), which offers better protection from would-be hackers.
Want to build a new staircase or add a porch to your home? In addition to researching costs, be sure to find out if your new project adheres to local building codes.
Your contractor should know associated building codes for specific projects, but if you want to do your own additional research, there are a few ways to find up-to-date codes. The best way to find them — collectively called International Building Codes (IBC) — is to head to the reference section of your local library. Or you can find an explanation of codes on the building section of your local county and state government websites. You should be able to find codes within these department websites.
The International Code Council (iccsafe.org) is dedicated to developing a single set of comprehensive and coordinated national model construction codes, and also can offer insight on building codes. Common queries might include how large a building can be in a specific area or mandatory fire prevention additions. These codes are available in print form, but the codes are updated frequently, so it's best to go to the website for the most recent versions of codes.
Whether you're looking for more prep space, a bar area or more storage options, an island is a great kitchen addition. But if you haven't found a ready-made option at the store that suits your needs, you can build one yourself. It's easier than you might think, as long as you keep these tips in mind.
First, make sure your kitchen is large enough to accommodate an island. Experts recommend leaving between four feet to 54 inches around all sides of the island to allow for easy opening of the cabinet doors. You can go as low as three feet, but it'll be a tight squeeze. Use tape on the floor to measure where the island would be to determine if the space is right.
To form a kitchen island, buy packaged cabinets at local home goods stores and then attach them to one another. These cabinets can come preassembled, or you can do it yourself. When screwing the cabinets together, put spacers in between the cabinets and be sure that all exterior surfaces are flush before fastening the units together. Take care when buying cabinet hardware to ensure it matches or complements the rest of your kitchen.
Preassembled cabinets will need a backing to make the cabinets appear as one cohesive unit. Beadboard is a good option for this, and ranges in price from $20 to $40 per bolt depending on the material. Beadboard is easily affixed to the backs of the cabinets with glue and nails, but will give the kitchen island a professional look.
Lastly, be choosy in selecting countertops. If you'll be preparing food, make sure that the finish and material is conducive to the task at hand — for example, a polyurethane top would not be the best option for chopping veggies, since it's not always food safe. Instead, choose a stone such as granite or marble or even ceramic tiles for a decorative touch that can withstand utensils scraping the surface.
HOME SEARCH Did you know you could search for homes on our website? Simply click on the "Property Quick Search" button at the top of the page. You can search by zip code, price range, area, MLS #, etc.
REMEMBER, if you are considering buying a home, either new construction or resale, we can help you as your Buyers Agent. As your agents, we will protect and defend your interest and advise you throughout the entire process. The agents that sit in the model homes represent the builder/seller, they do not represent you. And, the builder pays the commission! There's no cost to you! Give us a call to find out how we can work for you!

Dr. Lee trained at the most highly sought-after cornea fellowship in the country and is an experienced cornea surgeon. The past decade has been a period of exciting progress in the field of cornea transplantation, and Dr. Lee offers all types of cornea transplants, both partial and full.
The cornea is the window in the front of the eye, and the healthy cornea is clear and about half a millimeter thick. The cornea provides about two-thirds of the focusing power of the eye, so a healthy cornea is critical to your vision. Dr. Lee has performed hundreds of transplants and will perform a thorough assessment to recommend the type that is best for you.
Full Thickness Transplant (Penetrating Keratoplasty)
The cornea became the first tissue to be transplanted successfully into a human in 1905. For about 100 years, full-thickness cornea replacement was the dominant surgery, in which the entire central part of the cornea is removed and a full thickness replacement from a donor is sewn into place. This surgery, also known as penetrating keratoplasty, is still the best option for many corneal conditions.
Partial Thickness Transplant (Endothelial Keratoplasty or DALK)
More recently, the trend has been to replace the diseased part of the cornea, called partial thickness or lamellar transplantation. The most common layer to be replaced is the endothelium, the innermost layer of the cornea. A healthy endothelium prevents the cornea from swelling, which leads to cloudy vision. However, your body cannot grow more endothelial cells. Certain inborn conditions can accelerate cell loss, as can a history of eye surgery.
Other times, the front layers of the cornea need to be replaced, but the endothelium is healthy. A different partial thickness transplant, called a deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), may be an option in these cases.
Complex surgery
Thanks to his advanced training in cornea, cataract, and glaucoma surgery, Dr. Lee has extensive experience in dealing with complex surgical problems involving the front part of the eye. When he was at the University of Washington, other eye surgeons throughout the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Hawaii sent him their most complex cases. He now brings this background to the Bay Area.

- Microsoft Edge
Please note:
- It is recommended to save all datasets required into your H: Drive, which is easily accessed via the myAccess File Manager Application. Refer to the MyAccess File Manager – How to save and access your dataset guide and Downloading & uploading files to and from Moodle for further information.
- Be mindful of using 3G/4G as a connection tethering point as using myAccess may consume large amounts of data.
- Ensure your network connection is not being used for anything else such as streaming services or downloads.
The time it takes to access an application via the myAccess service is dependent on the type of Bandwidth and speed of the internet/Wi-Fi connection you are accessing to open the relevant application. Each user experience may slightly differ.
While you are able to download files, you will not be able to install any applications within the myAccess service.
For more information on how to access the service, go to the User Guides on how to install the Citrix Receiver or Citrix Workspace on this website.
If for some reason you have deleted the myAccess Citrix Receiver, simply login through myAccess again, navigate to the dropdown arrow on the top right and select 'Install Citrix Receiver' from the panel. You will find that if you do not have Citrix Receiver installed and are trying to access the applications, your browser will download an ica file that can't be opened.
On some 'other language' PCs, the Citrix Client detect function doesn't automatically detect whether the Citrix Receiver is installed. You will have to login through myAccess, navigate to the dropdown arrow on the top right and select 'Install Citrix Receiver'.
If for some reason there is an issue with the Citrix Receiver or you were not prompted to install the receiver from storefront, clear your cache and relaunch your browser.
If you are getting the prompt as shown below, tick the 'Remember my choice for URL:Citrix Receiver links' and click 'Open URL: Citrix Receiver'.
No, when accessing the same application on multiple devices, the application will only be active on the latest device that you open it on. However, when you return to the previous device where you had the application running, when you log back in, you will be returned to where you were logged off.
To make it easier to access your datasets from Moodle, we have created a Moodle Application in myAccess. Launch this application, locate your files and download the files to your H: Drive which starts with your zID.
For large datasets (20MB or above) it is recommended that you connect to the campus network to complete this procedure. Once you have saved your datasets to your H: Drive you will be able to access your datasets via myAccess remotely. For further information, please refer to the Downloading and Uploading Files to and from Moodle Guide and the myAccess File Manager - How to save and access your dataset.
When accessing the myAccess service via iOS iPad or an Android tablet, you may not see a timeout message.
After 1 hour of idle time, you will be disconnected. After this hour, you will lose your data if you attempt to access it after 4 hours in total. (Note: After 12 hours for Ansys, a user session is automatically logged off).
It is recommended to save your data to the H: Drive (starting with your zID) although you may also use C: (local drive) and/or external drive/s connected to your device.
Do not save your data to ANY other location, as your data will be lost when you logoff an application.
You can have multiple applications open on a device.
When trying to access your dataset within an application you will be provided with a number of options which include:
- H: (UNSW Home drive)
- C: (local drive)
- D: (locally available storage)
- External drive/s
We strongly recommend that you save your dataset to your H: (UNSW Home drive). As myAccess is on the same network connection as your H: Drive, when accessing your dataset, the speed of myAccess won't be dependent on the speed of your individual connection. Users have recorded significant increases in the speed of myAccess applications when using datasets saved to their H: drives. The other benefit of saving datasets to your H: drive is that if, for any reason, your myAccess session disconnects, you won't lose any data as long as you reconnect within 4 hours.
To make it easier for you to move files and folders to your H: Drive, we have published a File Manager application in myAccess. When you open the File Manager you will see your H: drive even if you haven't previously mapped it. Simply browse for your dataset and copy this to the H: drive.
If you need more storage, please contact the Service Desk here.
Please ensure that you provide your zID, name, contact details (email and phone) and application/s that you are using (also include the Faculty/School and the course that requires extra storage for the application/s).
Yes, you can save files. When you try to save your data, you will be presented with the following options:
- C: (local drive)
- H: (UNSW Home drive)
- D: (locally available storage) - Do Not Save Here!
- USB / external drive
It is recommended to save your files to your H: (UNSW Home drive). Do not save your data to the D: (locally available storage) as this will be cleared when you end your session. For those applications for which we are unable to set the default save location to your H drive, you will be prompted to manually select the H drive. This prompt will be in the form of a warning or error message that includes the file path 'c:\volatiledata\please_save_to_h_drive_only…'. For example:

Harpenden teen paints winning picture of elephant for local competition
PUBLISHED: 10:00 24 July 2018
This is Chloe Strange's well-deserved winning picture for the Harpenden Art Society competition.
Sixteen-year-old Chloe was named overall winner of the competition for her portrait of an elephant.
The competition was held by the art societies Harpenden Evening and Harpenden Area, who invited seven to 18-year-olds to submit paintings, photography, sculpture and textiles.
An exhibition was held at the end of June, which was attended by Deputy Mayor Brian Ellis. He presented 17 prizes for different categories and age groups, with 16 entries given 'highly commended' awards.
All winning and highly commended entries were featured in the exhibition, with a rolling display of photos of all the other entries.
The competition was run jointly by both societies to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Arts Society, which is a national charity supporting interest in the arts and helping to promote young artists.
Have you painted any scenes in and around Harpenden? We'd love to see them - email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Here is some possible good news for Android Gamers. id Software has released Rage, a First Person Shooter that has won 3 Game Critics awards at E3. Rage is currently available for the PC, Xbox360 and PS3.
At the recent QuakeCon conference id Software demonstrated Rage on the iPhone 4 during the keynote, It was also mentioned that it will run on the 3GS but looks best on the iPad. John Caramack announced that they are considering a port to Android but the final determination has not been made at this time. With the demonstration (see the video below) showing that the game runs at a steady 60FPS on the iPhone this shows that mobile devices including those running Android can certainly run this game and make it run well.
Its also worth noting that last year id Software served Google with a DMCA notice to remove the Android ports of Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein from the Android Market.

Radiation Oncology works with staff from the Hospital, the School of Medicine, and the Research Foundation of New York to deliver comprehensive, state-of-the-art cancer care with a focus on delivering highly targeted radiation that limits exposure to normal tissue. The Department's innovative approaches to treatment and its ongoing acquisition of advanced technology have made it a regional resource.
Physicians, physicists, medical dosimetrists, radiation therapists, nurses and nursing assistants, administrators, and clerical staff compose the Department. Members play a key role in Stony Brook's multidisciplinary cancer teams. Nutrition and social work services are also available.
Referring physicians and other oncologists involved in a patient's care are kept fully apprised of those plans and the patient's progress during and after radiation therapy. Patients and their family members actively participate in the collaborative approach to assessing needs and developing treatment plans.
Stony Brook has invested in state-of-the-art radiation technology, equipment, and systems. The most advanced treatment planning and information management software is used by the team to provide an integrated network for fast, efficient radiation planning and treatment that minimizes waiting times.
The goal of radiation therapy is to deliver a high dose of radiation to kill or sterilize cancer cells while at the same time sparing healthy tissue from damage. Several different radiation therapy techniques have been developed to accomplish this. Depending on the type of cancer to be treated, radiation therapy is administered either externally by clinical linear accelerators, or internally by brachytherapy implants for localized contact with the tumor. Internal radiation therapies include bronchial brachytherapy, MammoSite® brachytherapy, tandem and ovoid brachytherapy, vaginal cylinder brachytherapy, oral and intravenous radionuclide therapy, and radio-immunoglobulin therapy.

Flash Fiction–Short Short Story or Prose Poem?
I am still getting used to flash. Not merely as a genre, but as a concept. It takes some getting used to. Just listen to the name. Flash. Whoosh. Pow. Any artform that sounds like an audiographic ejaculate from a superheroic comic — well, that would make anyone nervous.
When mining the interior of a concept, one can work hands-on from the perspective of a practitioner or from the perspective of a philosopher who keeps his intellectual distance. I have approached flash's friction warmly, doggedly, and from both vantages.
There are clearly two schools. One derives from Kate Chopin's "Story of an Hour." It wants flash to be just like other great short fiction, only shorter. It wants character, story, tension, plot, development–the whole enchilada–but it wants it in an economical, Totino's (gross!) bite-sized delivery system of one thousand words or less.
The second school has a more ambiguous origin because any terse scene that could exist –and after some creative editing does–exist in a self-contained form could qualify, no matter how long the original poem from which it is excerpted. Sorry Holderlein and Rimbaud, the Greeks have you beat again.
This kind emerges with its one voluptuous constraint *!BREVITY!* on shimmering display within its Venusian conch shell, naked and afraid in a world of stanzaic order, covering itself with Poe's purloined rules like those conveniently placed fronds in portraits from Eden.
Extrapolating from Poe's arguments about the defining function of length in short fiction, we might reason that if the primary constraint defining flash is its dramatic curtailment, then a degree of aesthetic compensation may occur in such works, exerting itself on the language.
The logic goes like this: A short story about a break-up could have interesting characters or twists (it probably doesn't given the hackneyed subject matter, but for the sake of Hypothesis–and his Greek twin Hyperbole–let's just imagine that it could), but an incredibly short short story about a break-up would by the very fact of its brevity cause readers to expect something more in the language beyond content.
Whether that aesthetic surplus is intentionally put there in every word, every sentence, or not is beside the point. A very very short piece of writing naturally draws its reader's attention to the form of its construction. Advocates of this school champion flash for providing unique opportunities for the intersection of prose and poetry.
The emphasis on language (afforded by brevity) enables the flashes of this school to let go of many of the rules associated with conventional story telling. Rather than tell a story that relies on causal, chronological, or emotional coherence, these flashes are often more surreal. They are rather like prose poems without wearing any of the poet's official humbuggery–the badge, cone hat, and neon vest, for instance.
(In a perfect world, poets would go about so the rest of us could spot them easily, perhaps dressed like construction workers, lazing about in clusters along roads, smoking and chatting next to huge machines, brandishing clipboards in gloved hands and occasionally waving elaborate flags angrily at you as you drive by).
In any case, there are some who want storyier flashes and others who want the poemier kind. The key is that neither group of gatekeepers will admit which side they prefer their verbal cattle to enter. They can tell by the intonation of the bleating or by the particular wag of a curled tail what kind of hog you are and what kind of mutton you write.
That's their fun, I suppose, the deciphering and the corralling of pork, prose, and poem. The trick now is to figure it out yourself. Which pen is yours?
Recently, I've split the difference and embarked upon an entirely new kind of piece–the flash non-fiction. Three cheers for hybridity. Or should we think of it as a type of hybridity calculus, since flash non-fiction is like the tangent of a tangent?
I want to thank the editors of Shadowbox for giving my piece a shot. It's a poetic, storyish clipping from an actual event that happened to me.
The experience has left me humbly and gloriously confused anew, so much so that I am brought to this found poem, a mash-up in celebration of weird beginnings.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a screaming comes across the sky
"Let us go then, you and I." It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness. Someone must have slandered Josef K.,
for one morning, without having done anything truly wrong, he was arrested.
Hope is the thing with feathers. The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.
Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond. A story has no beginning or end;
arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead.

I have been a patient of Cincinnati Eye Institute for several years. My first experience with CEI was for cataract treatment, and I now receive ongoing care for issues with my retina. The care I have received from CEI is excellent. I am quite confident that my eye condition is being treated in the best possible way, and my confidence in Dr. Robert Foster is very high. Coupled with his professionalism and the concern he communicates to his patients, his medical knowledge and skill evoke my highest regard.
I was also recently treated for an eye emergency at CEI's Urgent Eye Clinic. I didn't know they offered emergency services, but when I had an issue with my vision on New Year's Eve, my primary care doctor sent me straight to CEI. I was treated that very same day, which was awesome.

Read time: 3 Minutes
Autumn is a magical time, with the cosy dark nights, Halloween upon us and Christmas fast approaching. When we look back at our own childhood memories, most were made during these seasons and when we have kids of our own, there's nothing we want more than to create special memories that they can look back on fondly when they're older.
But when it comes to spending that all-important quality time together as a family, the season does bring limitations. Dark nights mean we can't stay out as long and Ireland's trusty autumn weather means we have to prepare for torrential downpours every time we leave the house.
So what can we do to overcome the season's challenges and spend quality family time together to make memories that you'll all cherish for a lifetime? Here are our top 10 ideas.
Ignore the pressure
When flicking through Instagram or Facebook, you'll see other mums and dads posting picture-perfect updates of their little ones having the time of their lives and it may see that you're not making enough fun for your own family.
This pressure can make it difficult to spend genuine quality time together, as you feel like you too should be uploading every moment. Although you might want to take some snaps of your kids enjoying themselves in the leaves or petting animals at an Autumn event, do it to document the moment rather than for having something to post on social media. Try to put the phones away to remove not only the distractions, but any feelings of comparison and inadequacy too.
Pumpkin carving
Pumpkin carving is a fun family activity to take part in during autumn. You can pick up pumpkins all through October and early November from most grocery stores and they'll be fairly inexpensive. You can download templates online to help you carve something extra impressive. It's a great activity for a couple of hours in the afternoon or evening.
Make Halloween costumes and decorations
If your little ones like to get creative, you can make your own costumes or Halloween decorations together. There are lots of tutorials online and it will be great way of feeling festive together and putting a personal touch on your celebrations.
Bake an apple pie or autumn inspired cake
Who doesn't love a nice apple pie on a cosy evening? It's the perfect Autumn inspired dessert and is incredibly easy to make. Getting your kids involved with the preparation; from picking the apples to doing the baking, will make them enjoy it even more.
Go for an autumn nature walk
It could be argued that Ireland is at its most beautiful in Autumn when the leaves have fallen and the landscapes are rich in colour. If the weather permits, take advantage and bring your family on a special autumn nature walk to somewhere rural or far out, like Glenveagh National Park which is absolutely breathtaking at this time of year.
Punchestown Winter Festival
Whether you're a family of horse racing enthusiasts or not, everyone at any age can enjoy the thrill of Punchestown Winter Festival. From November 18th to 19th, it's an opportunity to get dressed up, have a fun day out with the family and do something together that you maybe haven't done before. Tickets are €10-€15.
Have a movie night
Watching movies at home is a common occurrence for most families; whether you're sitting down to watch Harry Potter after Sunday dinner or sticking on Despicable Me for the 1,000th time to keep the kids quiet and get some peace. But to make a real event of it, you could hold a family movie night – perhaps something Autumn or Winter themed, or something scary, depending on the age of your children. Light some candles, get some treats in, curl up under blankets or even build a fort in the living room to make it more memorable.
Wexford fringe festival
The Wexford Fringe is an annual open-access arts festival which will run from Thursday, 19th October to Sunday, 5th November 2017. There are 300 events taking place over the 17 days and includes cabaret, comedy, circus, dance, film, theatre, puppetry, music, and visual art, many of which are free to attend. If you're in or close by to Wexford, it's well worth paying a visit. Visit Wexfordfringe.ie
Dublin Book Festival
As one of the country's largest book festivals, it celebrates Irish writers and Irish publishing, across a whole range of genres, from politics to literary fiction, business, illustration and children's literature, to poetry and Irish language events. The festival this year, will run from 2-9 November with an exciting schedule of events for older and younger readers alike. Most events will take place in Smock Alley Theatre, Temple Bar as well as in satellite venues around the city including: National Botanic Gardens, The Gutter Bookshop, Irish Writers Centre, Fighting Words, National Library of Ireland and RDS Library.
Wild Lights 2017 at Dublin Zoo
Opening on 3rd November to 7th January 2018, Wild Lights at Dublin Zoo is an incredible family event. You'll be able to embark on an enchanted trail and discover a dazzling array of beautifully coloured, giant lanterns inspired by wildlife; including orangutans, lions, tigers, giraffes, a 16ft porcelain elephant and a 30m long Chinese dragon. Tickets are on sale now and can be prebooked on Dublinzoo.ie.

Chalet Quietude
Stay on the Mountain at Chalet Quietude
Chalet Quietude is on a beautiful mountain at an altitude of 3400 ft. on 3 secluded acres. The view is ever-changing. During the early morning hours, you may catch some beautiful sights and will get a real sense of what the Smoky Mountains are all about. The chalet is at the end of the road, on a mountain ridge and the adjoining 400 acres is undeveloped which contributes to the privacy and quietude. Click on each photo to enlarge. Also, visit the photo album for many more photos.
Chalet Quietude is a cozy three bedroom cabin with 2 full baths. The enclosed loft has a king bed and a full bath (shower). The queen bedroom is on the main floor as is the bedroom with the bunk bed (twin over full bed). The full bath is also on the main floor. The chalet sleeps 6 comfortably. The king and 2 queen beds are luxurious European pillow-top mattresses and the bed sheets are not like anything you have ever slept on. So much so, that many guests have asked to purchase them – they are for sale (see "amenities for sale" page). We also provide great robes for you to wear while you are here.
The living room has a fireplace, very tastefully decorated and is open to the kitchen with just about every cooking amenity you need to complete a beautiful gourmet meal or something simple and yummy. The handy dining counter is also great to gather and have conversation while cooking.
Of course, we must mention the wonderful hot tub. It is positioned on its own deck and the ritual of getting ready for the hot tub is part of the fun. It is located away from the house so that you can sit in and enjoy nature. At night, gazing at the stars or the valley with the night lights is just about as good as it gets. You will know then, that "life is great". Chalet Quietude is located 12 miles from downtown Asheville and a little more than 11 miles from the Biltmore. Grocery stores are near by and getting to and from the chalet is very easy.
3 NIGHT Minimum Stay – exception Premium Dates
See the photo gallery for a good idea of the layout and the furnishings. You are sure to love Chalet Quietude. The name came to me as I stood on the deck and realized just how quiet it was there. You, too, will notice that.

After a particularly long-seeming day, I came home to get some more work done.
I decided against going to Navigators so that I could unwind a bit, and because I thought that I would, most likely, find myself asleep balled up on the corner somewhere before I made it to the ol' Tisch building. I got some reading done, some printing done, some communicating done....
And then I got a package slip. But I'm not expecting any packages....
I really love them! How thoughtful and cute! I didn't even remember that I didn't have red- amazing! You are amazing!!!
I love you so much, and I SO appreciate you getting that in the mail! OH GOSH, you're so great! You are really so sweet! I put a letter in the mail to your address yesterday, so hopefully you'll get that soon!
You sock my world!

Individual One-On-One Coaching
There were many requests from participants who could not make the group session timings due to their work schedules or business travel. They were also individuals from the world of show biz, beauty contestants or senior corporate executives who required privacy and anonymity.
To accommodate them Voice Bazaar started the one- on-one individual sessions on a more flexible timing schedule which was mutually convenient for them and Voice Coach Mr.Anil Mani. Naturally they were accommodated between his other classes and Voice Over recording sessions.
