About the Book
Book Title: Toby's Troubles
Author: Carole Brown
Genre: Romantic Mystery, Cozy Mystery
Release date: July 1, 2018
Everyone loves Toby Gibson. A co-owner of Undiscovered Treasures, a unique shop of antiques, collectables and junk, Toby is friendly, generous to a fault, the director of the local plays in Appleton and supports his church's youth functions. But the minute his sister, Caroline and her new husband, take off for their honeymoon, a "ghost" begins to haunt the shop—or maybe it's just an intruder. If so, Toby has no idea for what he is looking. To add to his troubles, he suspects Amy, not only is bidding for the property he's wanted forever, but is in love with him. And he's not interested.
Amy Sanderson who owns the only flower shop in Appleton—Bloomin' Life—is drawn into capturing Toby's "ghost" when her own business is damaged by a destructive intruder. Having loved Toby from childhood, she's more than willing to join forces with him. But she has no interest in being his best friend or like a sister to him. And if she has to resort to schemes of outbidding him at his frequent auction attendences to get his attention, then so be it. She can be just as stubborn as the man who's determined to ignore her love.
In between the break-ins, destruction of property, thefts and personal competitions against each other, Amy and Toby work together to find the thief who seems so determined to find a valuable item, he'll stop at nothing.

My Perspective
Another fun mystery by Carole Brown! I found Toby and Amy's relationship to be quirky and funny. When Amy was trying to outbid him at the auction, and then purchased a few things that left his head scratching, I couldn't wait to figure out the why behind it all. I think I was almost more interested in this part of the story at first, then the mystery of the "ghost". Carole always provides us with some humor in her stories, along with excitement and suspense. She is one of those authors who provides clues throughout the story that you don't always see at first, but once you reach the end and think back on the story, you can see it all come together.
On top of the mystery, was this wanting-to-happen romance between Toby and Amy, or lack there of. Up front you automatically think they are either together, or will get together very soon into the story line. But then as you read, you start to question their feeling towards one another. The way Ms. Brown presents their thoughts is so conflicting – in a good way. This is actually one time I wasn't sure the couple would get together. Once I determined that in my mind, I started reading the story more for the mystery and less for the romance, and found that I actually enjoyed it more this way.
Carole Brown's cozy mysteries are always fun to read. The setting is quaint, the mystery is fun, and I can easily picture myself at Undiscovered Treasures right beside Toby throughout it all. I look forward to future cozies by Ms. Brown. I received a complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a favorable review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Antique Shops, A Thief, the Community Theater, and Love
Toby's Troubles, Book Four from the Appleton, West Virginia Romantic Mysteries series
I knew when I wrote this book who Toby was. But capturing Toby's personality and presenting it in the right way, was a challenge for me. Readers can see his teasing, fun-loving character when he labels the person who's breaking into his shop as a ghost. But Toby is also serious, smart and successful. The side of him who has had plenty of girl friends, but who's never gotten serious with any of them, is prominent too. But I didn't want him to seem frivolous and uncaring, because he isn't that. With a focus on his interests, love has never—as of yet—been a primary concern, so when Amy Sanderson strolls into his life, she turns out to be his confidant in the time of his troubles. The question is: can she not only have a place in his life as a best friend, but also capture his heart?
Let's talk about:
Antique Shops
Who doesn't love a place filled with valuable items, interesting history, and hard-to-find items? Undiscovered Treasures—a shop of antiques, collectibles and junk—could be described as the town gathering place. Everyone loves browsing there. Deciding on such a place for the business of brother and sister, Toby and Caroline Gibson, was a fun choice. From grandfather clocks to unique shaped vases, it's a shop where treasure hunters could just find what they're looking for.
A Thief:
There are way too many new people visiting Appleton, West Virginia, so how is someone like Toby suppose to guess what the thief is after? The thief definitely knows what he's looking for, just not where. He's tall, thin and a fast runner, especially when escaping across a rooftop. But then, maybe it's not a new person in town. Maybe the thief is Toby's part time help, who has a mystery all of his own. It makes things interesting, and a bit terrifying for everyone.
The Community Theater:
One of Toby's loves is directing and overseeing the community theater. Caroline Gibson writes some of the plays, the actors are usually taken from the West Virginia area, and all proceeds go to charities. But when their main actors, of the current play, elope and leave the play desolate, someone has to step in to fill the gaps. Toby struggles with decisions he doesn't want to make.
Toby is smart, funny, and a resourseful man. He's also busy with his community theater activities and his business. Known as the one man in town who's not interested, at the current time, in getting married, his reputation of loving and leaving is in danger of being wrecked by one small woman. Can she sabotage his well-laid plans and help him realize it's now or never? Could it be the time when real love is captured by two people, even when one of them seems doomed to ignore what God's put in their hearts?
I love creating characters. Developing them into real people with real desires, moods, troubles

Planning a wedding can be a daunting task and it's easy to become overwhelmed as your wedding day approaches. I got engaged in November 2015 and had just 9 months to plan the wedding of my dreams. The beginning of the planning process I was full steam ahead making planners, filling my Pinterest boards with ideas, and setting up vendor meetings. The adrenaline and excitement kept me going for the first few months, but as the big day approached, and all the main events had been scheduled I felt my motivation dragging.
At this point my wedding was like a brand new model home. It was gorgeous, had all the necessities, and was even styled in the colors, fabrics, and furniture that matched my style, but it was missing life. It was missing the personal touches that make a home, or in my case wedding, Alisha's wedding – not just anyone's.
Did I need to really add more? The answer is YES! With the help of many ice coffees I got back to work adding details that helped make my wedding more personal, and I'm so happy I did. We had numerous wedding guests tell us our wedding was "magical" and "the best wedding they had ever been to"! I believe it was the personal touches that really helped the day feel intimate and extra special. Want to know how to make your wedding the best day ever? Let me share.
Tip 1 – Create a wedding website
Along with your Save the Dates and Invites, a wedding website is the first thing your guests will see that sets the tone for your wedding. For our wedding, my husband (who is super techy) built our wedding website from scratch as his way of contributing to the wedding planning. We tied in graphics from our invites, as well as the colors, to give our guests a sneak peek of the style of our wedding!
Not a coder? Don't worry! Nowadays, sites like theknot.com and weddingwire.com offer free website templates that make it easy for anyone to create a site. Personalize your site by adding photos, sharing your engagement story, and introducing your wedding party! Don't forget to share the website URL on your invites!
Tip 2 – Ask for song requests in advance
When my guests RSVP'd on our website, we included an option to add a song requests. This was a fun suggestion my DJ made, and a great way for guests to feel a part of the wedding. It was so fun to hear their song requests get played, and my guests really enjoyed it!
Tip 3 – Find your signature design
Choose a design and stick to it. Our save the dates, invites, thank you cards, envelopes, place cards, and table numbers were all from the same design theme. Even our wedding website incorporated parts of the design! By repeating this one design, I created a recognizable image that my guests associated with my wedding.
Tip 4 – Prepare hotel welcome bags & cards
It's expensive to throw a wedding, but it can also be expensive to attend a wedding. If your guests are staying in your hotel room block, they most likely traveled a great distance. Our wedding was held just outside of Seattle, but since I grew up in Connecticut, a large portion of our guests were from out of state. With the cost of flights, hotels, rental cars, and gifts it really was amazing that my friends and family were willing to spend that much to come celebrate at our wedding. To show our gratitude we prepared hotel room gifts and handwritten cards as a way to immediately say thank you!
In our bags we included champagne, my favorite candy (M&M's and gummy bears), makeup wipes, Tylenol, Advil, water bottles, handwritten cards, and champagne flutes. To add a personal touch, I decorated the champagne bottles with labels saying "Eat, Drink, and be Married"!
Tip 5 – Create a wedding hashtag
Shortly after getting engaged, I came up with a hashtag my friends and I could use to document all the wedding related activities leading up to the big day, as well as the event! When deciding on a hashtag, the first thing I did was brainstorm a few ideas and then checked to see if they were already in use. The key is to create a new, unique hashtag that is specific to your event so you will be able to find the photos later on. An easy way to do this is to include a date or location as part of the hashtag. Once determined, use signs to share the hashtag with your wedding guests!
Tip 6 – Design a snapchat filter
Surprise your snapchatting guests by creating your own custom snapchat filter for your wedding day. For a fee, snapchat will let you design a filter that will appear during the time and location you specify. And don't worry if you're not a graphic designer – Snapchat offers a variety of customizable templates that makes creating a filter simple for everyone!
Tip 7 – Get ready in matching robes
Surprise your bridal party with cute matching robes or button up shirts to wear while getting ready. For my wedding, I wore a light pink robe and gifted my girls matching robes in hot pink. These were great for hair and makeup because we could easily change into our dresses without worrying about ruining our newly done "dos"! Also, who doesn't love a great getting ready in robes pic?
Tip 8 – Decorate hangers for your bridal party
Hangers are a cheap and easy gift to make for your bridal party! They are a great addition to the obligatory "hanging dresses" picture, and are a fun way to present getting ready robes to your girls. I'm a sucker for any arts and crafts project, so I made my own, but you can also find lots of great options to purchase on Etsy.
Tip 9 – Write your own vows
If you choose to follow even just one of these tips, choose to write your own vows! I get it, it's scary standing in front of 100+ of your closest friends and family (and in my case an additional 50+ unknown hotel guests), announcing your personal feelings over loud speakers, but it's so worth it!
My husband Steven (an introvert) was hesitant at first by the idea and doubted his ability as a writer. We found it helpful to draft our vows far in advance, send them to our officiant for feedback, and slowly edit them to our liking as the day approached. Since we were keeping our vows a secret, we also had my maid of honor look over our final drafts to make sure they flowed and were similar in length.
To make it extra special, we chose to read our vows for the first time at our first look. I loved reading them in advance to each other because if I had waited until the ceremony, I wouldn't have been able to process what he was saying, nor get through my own without crying every other word! When it all comes down to it, our wedding day was about my husband and I, and my vows were a way to express in my own words what marriage meant to me.
Tip 10 – Get to know your officiant
Our officiant Jeff, is a lifelong family friend who knew my parents very well, but only got a glimpse of me through our yearly Christmas cards (we lived on separate coasts). Shortly after our engagement, Steven and I met with Jeff for pre-marital counseling, which eventually led us to asking him to officiate our wedding.
While counseling helped us all get to know each other better, I also wrote out "Our Engagement Story" and "How we met" so Jeff had even more information that he could use for the ceremony. On our wedding day, it was so special to have someone we knew marrying us and sharing stories on a deeper level to our guests. He was able to express traits he saw in both Steven and I, creating a very personal ceremony.
Tip 11 – Set up a video booth
Similar to a photo booth, a video booth is essentially an area for guests to record video messages for the bride and groom. It's a great way for guests to personally congratulate you both and makes for a hilarious addition to your wedding video. I had only one videographer at my wedding, so after all the important events were recorded and some dancing captured, he set up his camera outside the reception room and had the DJ announce to my guests to come record a video! If you have two videographers you can set the booth up all night if needed, but otherwise dancing is the perfect time for your videographer to step away (because unless you are a professional dancer, the dance floor video can get repetitive).
Tip 12 – Choreograph your first dance
When I told my husband I wanted to choreograph our first dance, he thought I was insane. Hear me out – first dances are often an overlooked opportunity to impress your guests and create a great memory with your spouse. In fact, my first dance was my favorite part of my wedding and I'm by no means a dancer!
When I say choreograph, I don't mean go out a hire an instructor for dance classes. YouTube is a fantastic resource and filled with so many examples of first dances. I was able to find multiple choreographed dances to our song, Michael Buble's "Everything," and pick and chose parts that I liked. I even went so far as to create a step by step tutorial of our dance including pictures and moves directly alongside the lyrics of the song.
Steven is not one for attention and was dreading our first dance, but we both found having a planned dance made the whole thing a lot more enjoyable than awkwardly swaying back and fourth for 4 mins. Not only was it fun to add our own twist to the first dance, but it was even more exciting to see the reaction on our guests faces as we surprised them with our moves (and even a lift)!
Tip 13 – Take a group photo
A group photo is a fun way to document everyone who came out to celebrate your big day! For our wedding, we had our officiant inform our guests at the end of the ceremony that we wanted everyone to get together for a quick group photo in the lawn area behind them. This was the perfect time because our guests were all in one place and no alcohol had been served.
Along with the photo, have your guests sign a picture frame instead of a traditional guest book. Once you get your wedding photos back, hang the group photo inside the frame as your own personal wedding memorabilia!
Tip 14 – Be creative with your cake topper
Find a phrase or figurines that express something meaningful in your relationship. For my husband and I, it's lobsters. In particular, the phrase "you're my lobster," from the Friends episode where Phoebe believes that lobsters mate for life. This saying has played a large role throughout our relationship (and even influenced this blog name) so we chose to have a cake topper expressing this!
Tip 15 – Create a custom wedding sign
I love the look of wooden signs! They are a great way to welcome your guests to your wedding and can be used multiple ways. We chose to include our names and date of the wedding on our sign, but you could also put your favorite quote, bible verse, or a simply "welcome" on the sign. After the wedding, you can reuse the sign as décor in your home! Learn how my husband and I made our wedding sign here.

Kayleigh & James celebrated their wedding at St Nicholas' Church in Laindon, Essex – then it was on to Sir Henry's in Aveley, South Ockenden for the reception.
The theme – 'Life is just Maltesers & Kisses' – was perfectly apt for the day, lots of kisses and lots of chocolate.
Kayleigh looked stunning in a dress from Serena Bridal, don't worry James, you and the boys looked gorgeous too in suits from Barleylands 'Well Suited'. The lovely flowers were from Designs by Laura and the fab cake came from Choccywoccydodah!
Huge thanks go out to Terry, David and Kevin from Sir Henry's for making the day such a success. Perfect venue and perfect day!

Change the default input field placeholders in the WordPress admin
WordPress will have some default placeholders for input fields, like the title text input, which defaults to 'Enter title here'.

IT also looks a little better to have these fields customised sometimes, usually when dealing with custom posts. This is something very.. Read More

Get the featured image of the posts index page in WordPress
It is common to need a way to get the featured image / title or fields from the blog listing page as by default WordPress passes through all of the posts to this template, meaning functions like the_title() no longer work as in other templates, as the loop is different. This function targets specifically the blog listing page, but does so dynamically to avoid hard-coding by ID.
How to Defer Loading of Javascript
When a webpage loads a JavaScript file (inside a typical <script> tag), it must download the script, parse it and execute it wherever it sits within the HTML before continuing to render the rest of the HTML page. So the more <script> tags, the longer a page will take to load. The higher up a page that the scripts are included means a smaller amount of the page UI will be loaded.. Read More
How to create a simple sitemap page in WordPress
A sitemap page is a staple and an SEO essential for any site with a good amount of varied content. There are a lot of plugins out there that come with pages and pages of individual options customisations, usually missing the one or two things you actually want, and overcomplicating the whole process. It is very simple to build a basic sitemap page using a couple of basic queries and loops that are probably already used throughout the rest of the site.

Bat Bites, The Batman Who Laughs, from DC Collectibles' Dark Nights Metal statue set.
Today is officially Batman Day, an 80th Anniversary event that has fandom fixated on the Caped Crusader. While the moving target choice of date is as enigmatic as the Dark Knight himself any excuse to celebrate DC Comics' venerable octogenarian is OK with me.
As a youngster I was well aware of Batman but more an Action Comics fan – Superman, Supergirl (and Krypto). Like many other "baby boomers," my initial connection to Batman and Robin came with the ABC network's 1966 television series. In fact, my family's first color TV arrived in tandem with the first run of the Adam West and Burt Ward portrayals. Overnight our house became a local destination. I have a fine remembrance of my living room filled with friends eager to see the Biff, Bang, Pow action in full chromatic regalia.
Frank Miller's Dark Knight, DCC Designer Series.
Stronger than Mirth…
By the early 1970's the comical irreverence of the television series was reversed by Neil Adams' graceful but "scary" rendition and later Frank Miller would reinvent Batman as the burly Dark Knight. The metamorphoses on the printed page, on the silver screen, TV, and via a wealth of merchandise, keep growing and it's impressive that the character can continue transforming and still retain its strength.
DC must be commended for their willingness to reimagine their heroes and heroines in so many ways. I surmise some glee in the ability to totally mangle time honored icons. The styles range from the subtly sexy calendar girls of the still expanding Bombshells and Covergirls series to this year's Mexican Wrestling mash-up, the Lucha Explosiva! action figures.

My current favorite Batman mutations are found in Gregg Capullo's Dark Nights: Metal series, especially The Batman Who Laughs. They are represented here by photos of DC Collectibles' complete statue set as seen at the 2019 New York International Toy Fair. The Batman Who Laughs Deluxe Statue featuring three chained Robin minions is scheduled for December 2019 release.

Mazda, at its home Motor Show, revealed two concepts: the KAI compact and the futuristic Vision Coupe concept.
The Mazda KAI Concept is a compact hatchback that heralds a new generation of inspired vehicles from the award-winning Japanese carmaker. It made its world premiere at the top Asian staging exhibition, the Tokyo Motor show . It was the second appearance for the Mazda Vision Coupe, a design concept that debut at a pre-show event called Mazda Design Night, prior to the main event.
Featuring the next-generation SKYACTIV-X petrol engine, SKYACTIV-Vehicle Architecture and a more mature expression of the KODO design language, the KAI Concept embodies the technology, engineering and styling concepts that will define the coming generation of Mazdas. Refinements in all areas of dynamic performance have produced a considerably quieter, more comfortable ride and enhanced performance. The KAI concept features muscular, solid proportions in a form brought to life by a delicate flow of reflections over the sides of the body.
The Mazda Vision Coupe concept is a next-generation design vision model that showcases the "new elegance". The name of the car, "COUPE", gives a hint of where this special "Mazda elegance" originally came from.
Exterior-wise, the Vision Coupe carries the KODO – Soul of Motion theme to the core. The silhouette of the car embodies a minimalist Japanese aesthetic, achieving a simple "one-motion" form that conveys a sense of speed.
From the Mazda badge on the front to the badge on the back, a single powerful axis runs right through the four-door coupe, evoking the look and feel of supple steel, with all the car's movements centering on this central vector. The result is a form that is extraordinarily simple yet full of a sense of latent speed, known as the "one motion form".
The interior applies the concept of ma (literally "space") from traditional Japanese architecture, combining three-dimensional depth with a strong longitudinal axis to produce a relaxed space while maintaining the feeling of motion. Furthermore, the interior of the Vision Coupe, just like its exterior, has a satisfyingly deep and three-dimensional feel; its lines run smoothly from front to back, exuding a sense of speed.
Structural forms such as the center console, door trim and instrument panel intersect with one another without touching, creating a sense of ma inside the car. The spaces that are created encourage the flow of air throughout the car, and the three dimensional framework makes occupants feel safely ensconced without any sense of confinement. Major highlights include a see-through screen, which functions as a display only at those times when it is required.
Other Mazda exhibits at its home Motor show comprise of the New Mazda CX-8, a three-row SUV going on sale in Japan later this year, as well as the 2018 Mazda MX-5 and 2018 Mazda MX-5 RF. The latter offer a number of enhancements such as a higher quality ride, more peaceful cabin and a wider choice of body colors.

Earl Woods Jr., the half-brother of Tiger Woods, was arrested Friday for a bomb threat he allegedly made in Phoenix, Arizona.
Woods, who is employed by the Department of Economic Security, is alleged to have called the front desk at approximately 8:30 a.m. claiming a bomb would blow up inside the building.
The front desk notified security about the bomb threat and over 100 employees inside the building were then evacuated. According to authorities, when police arrived at the building, Woods voluntarily said he had made the bomb threat call but said it had only been a joke and did not think anyone would take it seriously.
The 58-year old Woods was arrested by police on suspicion of attempting to intimidate, threaten, harass and terrify others. Law enforcement claims that Woods was cooperating fully and extremely apologetic for making the bomb threat.
According to reports, Woods and Tiger his half brother are not close. Tiger however is close to Cheyenne Woods, Earl's daughter who is a professional LPGA golfer. Tiger has not spoken for some time to his older brother Earl.
In an interview in April 2012 on ESPN.com, Earl said Tiger had not spoken to any half-sibling since Earl Woods Sr., his father had died in 2006.
Earl has been affected by Tiger's absence in the family. He blames the 14-time major champions for not taking cared of Kevin, another brother, who has multiple sclerosis and is in a wheel chair.
In the interview, he said he would like to slap tiger to wake him up. He said he wanted to tell his brother not to come knocking on his door if he ever needed a bone marrow transplant.
Despite the two not having a close relationship, Earl did not hesitate to make comments while Tiger was going through his personal problems in 2010.
The older Woods has experience when it comes to Tiger making headlines, but on Friday, the headlines were about him. Now, the story will likely not go away as soon as Earl Wood Jr. would like just because his brother is Tiger.
It is still unknown what punishment Wood Jr. might face but he should face a judge for the first time on Monday.

A marvelous new Broadway play is going to bring new attention to magazine fact-checking. But I'm afraid it will add to the confusion about the unique form of political journalism that has the same name.
"The Lifespan of a Fact," which opens Thursday, stars Daniel Radcliffe as an intern who quibbles with the tiniest details in an article about a Las Vegas suicide. When he challenges the headstrong writer (Bobby Cannavale), the play, adapted from a 2012 book, becomes a thoughtful exploration of the differences between facts and truth.
I saw the play during previews last week and found it funny and fascinating. But it also brought some familiar pangs because it is sure to rekindle the long-running confusion about the two types of fact-checking — the kind Radcliffe's character practices and the journalism that I've been deeply involved with since I started PolitiFact 11 years ago.
The confusion is understandable because both have the same name. This has prompted years of wisecracks that often go something like this:
(Spoken with an air of snark) "There's a new thing called 'fact-checking'? I thought that's what journalists were always supposed to do!" Snicker, snicker.
So this is a good moment to set the record straight.
Editorial fact-checking: This is what Radcliffe does in the play and what many staffers do at the New Yorker and other publications: They go line by line through articles before publication and make sure they're accurate.
Of course, the author should also have done this before before the article was submitted. In my advanced reporting class at Duke University, I hand out red Flair pens at the start of the semester and require students turn in marked-up drafts indicating they have checked every name, number and sentence.
At some publications, teams of fact-checkers also do this shortly before publication. These fact-checkers typically require that writers provide notes and research materials to back up every line. When there is a dispute, the editor steps in to referee, as Cherry Jones's character does in the play.
Fact-checking statements by politicians and others: This is a unique form of journalism in which reporters research claims by politicians and political groups and assess how accurate the claims are. It's also been expanded to include claims by people in the media and statements about climate and science. Fact-checkers now have a code of principles that sets standards for nonpartisanship and transparency.
It is a relatively new phenomenon in journalism. It didn't start in the United States until the early 1990s, thanks to prodding after the 1988 campaign by Washington Post political writer David Broder. He said journalists needed to hold politicians accountable for their claims in campaign ads, so most of the fact-checking in the 1990s focused on ads and was branded with names like "ad watch" and "spot check."
Political fact-checking didn't really hit the mainstream until the 2008 presidential election, when there were enough outlets doing it (most notably FactCheck.org, PolitiFact, and The Washington Post) and the internet had matured enough to provide a large audience.
But 10 years later, lots of people still confuse the two types of fact-checking, including a fair number of people who work in journalism. If you hear someone do that, tell them that all journalists should fact-check, but that all fact-checking isn't fact-checking.
Hmm. Better yet, send them a copy of this article.

When one of his guards was killed, he accepted the Doctor's theory. The scientists about the Express discovered that it was targeting the weak, and the Doctor informed Quell that his mental issues made him the next target after Professor Moorhouse.
When the Foretold came for him, he fired upon it, claiming he would be a poor soldier not to do so, even though he was aware that the gesture would not harm the Foretold. Quell remained impressively calm as the Foretold approached, describing it and it's actions as clearly as he could in the time he had, up until his final second. As it moved to kill him, he thanked the Doctor for "waking him up" and considered his demise a good death as he would die facing the enemy, like a soldier. (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express)

Bush medicine
Bush medicine also called traditional medicine is the sum of the total knowledge, skills and practices based on the theories, beliefs and experiences indigenous to different cultures, whether explicable or not, used in the [1] maintenance of health as well as ion the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness. Bush medicine is also connected to the holistic worldview in such a way that the interplay between the physical, emotional, social and spiritual aspects is crucial in attaining wellbeing.[2]
Generally, bush medicine is made from plant materials, such as bark, leaves and seeds, although animal products were used as well.[3]
A major component of traditional medicine is herbal medicine, which is the use of natural plant substances to treat or prevent illness[4]
Aboriginal remedies varied between clans in different parts of the country. There was no single set of Aboriginal medicines and remedies, just as there was no one Aboriginal language.[3]
The modern world and indigenous culture have differing approaches for health. Whilst conventional medicine deals with direct causes of illness and science-based views of health, the aboriginal view on health as defined by the National Aboriginal Health Strategy considers "not just the physical well being of the individual, but the social, emotional and cultural well-being of the whole community. This is the whole-of-life view and it also includes the cyclical concept of life-death-life".[5]
A variety of bush medicine techniques were and are still being used. In Western Australia and the Northern Territory, eucalypt kino was drunk for influenza, colds and coughs.[6]
Mitchell Park, situated near Sydney Basin in NSW, had many plants that were used as remedies for Aboriginal people.[7] Nine species of eucalyptus present in the park could act as remedies. The red gum exudate, known as kino, are known to be rich in astringent tannins.[8] Additionally, this park also contained native pants that were actually used by early European settlers. The nectar-laden liquid from banksia flowers was used as a cough syrup, and from the native grapes (Cissus hypoglauca) a throat gargle was made.[8]
In Warrabri, the Northern territory, for instance, the cure for earache is squeezing the fatty part of a witchetty grub into the sore ear.[9] While in Uluru, the cure is squeezing rabbit urine into the ear.[10]
In general, there are two types of accepted causes of illness in aboriginal tribes - natural, and supernatural. Natural causes would be treated with natural remedies, and supernatural illnesses could only be treated with a spiritual cure. It was believed that evil spirits caused any illness without an obvious explanation and these would be treated by the tribe's medicine man who would specialize in spiritual cures. They mainly use bush animal dung or plants in their medicine.
Aboriginal people believe that their healers, their 'medicine men', have special powers which are bestowed upon them by their spiritual ancestors to heal. They have the roles of both a general practitioner and a psychiatrist, healing both the body and mind.[11]
A practitioner of bush medicine is called a "ngangkari". They cure illnesses through healing rituals that may involve sorcery. An example of such ritual would be singing, massaging and sucking to remove a foreign object that has entered the body, and invoking the power of the war god Ancestor Ngurunderi to heal the wounds of soldiers caused by spears and clubs. Aside from physical healing, ngangkaris also act as mental health practitioners, as they try to resolve conflicts within the community and offer advice as well. With every sickness, in addition to giving a diagnosis and advice on suitable remedies, the duty of the ngangkari is also to assess the impact of the sickness to the community.[12]
Many Aboriginal people choose to be treated by bush medicine instead of, or as well as, Western treatments for a number of reasons. These include: some Aboriginal people feel uncomfortable and out of place in a sterilised, Western clinic, Aboriginal bush medicine incorporates physical, spiritual and emotional healing - Western medicine does not, and they believe that by using these treatments they are being drawn closer to their ancestors.[13]
Traditions in southern and eastern Australia have largely been lost, but efforts are being made by anthropologists to record traditions from Aborigines in central and north-western Australia.[3] In the Northern territory, however, it is still relatively well-preserved. Ngangkeres are said to be present in health clinics to perform rituals and give medical advice when necessary.[12] Moreover, in 1994 it is reported that 22% of all Aborigines had practiced bush medicine in the past 6 months from the time the survey was taken.[14]
Decline of Bush Medicine
The use of bush medicine and natural remedies in Australia is on the decline. This is due to the loss of information. In Aboriginal culture they do not pass on information through writing, but through singing and dancing rituals, which are becoming far rarer. Without these rituals, the tens of thousands of years of knowledge that the Aboriginal elders hold is being lost, leading to a lack of people knowing the medicinal purposes of the flora and fauna.[15]
Examples of herbs
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) tincure 20ml- for anti inflammatory activity and to improve local circulation at affected joints[16] Another example is emu bush leaves, which were used by Northern Territory Aboriginal tribes to sterilise sores and cuts. The leaves are now being considered by Australian scientists as a viable steriliser for implants.[17]

This document contains a list of the important parameters you can tell THERMOS, what they mean, and where you might get them.
1 Facts about buildings
These parameters are mostly used when creating a map (see here for more about creating maps). Some of them can be edited directly in the network editor as well.
1.1 Annual demand
The annual demand for heat in a building, in kWh.
Every building in a map has a value associated with it for annual demand The value is placed on the building when the map is created, either using a known user input, a benchmark estimate, or the THERMOS heat demand model.
You can edit this demand directly in a network problem by right clicking on a building and selecting
Edit buildings. The edit will not change the map, only that problem.
This value affects:
- the revenue for providing heat to the building
- the avoided emissions by providing heat to the building
- the cost of supplying heat into the network
1.2 Peak demand
The peak demand for heat in a building, in kW.
Every building in a map has a value associated with it for peak demand. The value is placed on the building when the map is created, either using a known user input, a user input peak-to-base ratio, or the THERMOS heat demand model.
You can edit the peak directly in a network problem by right clicking on a building and selecting
Edit buildings. The edit will not change the map, only that problem.
This value affects:
- the size (and hence cost) of pipes needed to supply the building
- the size (and hence cost) of the plant needed to supply the network
- the connection costs for the building
1.3 Building height
The average height of a building, in m.
This value is only used during heat demand estimation with the THERMOS heat demand model. If it is given, it will allow a better regression model to be selected. If building height is not supplied, it may still be extracted from LIDAR data on the server.
1.4 Floor area
The internal floor area of a building, in m2.
This value is only used during heat demand estimation with a benchmark. If a value is not given, it is estimated using the building height and a standard storey height. If the building height is not given, a single storey is assumed.
1.5 Benchmark terms
There are two benchmark terms used during heat demand estimation, a constant value and a per m2 value.
If either value is given, the heat demand is calculated as a linear function of floor area:
\[ \text{constant} + \text{floor area} \times \text{variable} \]
1.6 Peak to base ratio
A dimensionless value used during heat demand estimation, which relates the annual power consumption to the peak. If this value is supplied, the peak demand is set using the annual demand multiplied by this factor.
For example, if the annual demand were 30 MWh / yr, with a peak to base ratio of 10 the peak demand would be about 34 kW.
1.7 Heat price
The price at which heat is sold to buildings, which determines the revenue from including a building in a network by multiplication with the annual demand.
This is set in the network editor in two places: there is a value on each building, which can be edited by right clicking the building, and a default value in the options page which is used for any building that hasn't been so edited.
1.8 Connection cost
The capital cost of work within a building required to connect it to the network. This is separate from the costs of pipework.
The value is denominated in currency / kWp, so if you increase the peak demand for a building the connection cost will also increase.
This value is stored on each building, with an initial value provided in the map import page. It can also be edited for each building in the network editor, by right clicking on the building.
1.9 TODO Emissions factors
2 Facts about pipes
These parameters are used to determine the cost and heat losses for pipes, using the heat network calculation method.
2.1 Mechanical engineering costs
The mechanical engineering costs are a simplification reflecting the costs for pipework that are independent of the place where the pipe is being installed, including:
- The cost of buying the pipe from a manufacturer
- The cost of welding the pipe together on site
Mechanical costs for a flor and return pipe in a hole of length \(l\) metres and diameter \(d\) are computed using the equation:
\[ c_m = l * (A + (B \times d)^{1.3}) \]
\(l\) here is the length of the trench dug on the road, so \(2l\) metres of pipe will be installed for flow and return.
This equation is based on an empirical relationship in observed data. These values are set in the network editor in the options page, and apply to all the pipes in a particular network design.
Figure 1: Where to edit the mechanical cost parameters in the network editor.
Reasonable values are \(A = 50\) and \(B = 700\), but you may wish to produce your own figures for this. If this model is too complicated for the evidence you have available, you can set \(A\) and \(B\) to zero, and use just the civil costs.
2.2 Civil engineering costs
The civil engineering costs are a simplification reflecting the costs for pipework that depend on the place where the pipe is being installed, including:
- The cost of digging up the road surface
- The cost of suspending traffic
- The cost of suspending parking
Like the mechanical engineering costs, the civil costs are calculated using an equation
\[ c_c = l \times (A + (B \times d)^{1.1}) \]
Again, \(l\) here is the length of the trench dug on the road, so \(2l\) metres of pipe will be installed for flow and return.
The difference is that the \(A\) and \(B\) values can vary for each individual bit of road in the network, and the exponent is smaller. This reflects the empirical observation that civil engineering costs do not grow as rapidly with the diameter of pipe that has to be installed.
The \(A\) and \(B\) values can be set for all the roads in a map in the map creation wizard:
Figure 3: Where to set default civil cost parameters
If you are preparing your own GIS data, they can be set on the individual roads in a map using the field settings the map creation wizard. In the network editor, you can change the value on any individual road through the right click menu.
Figure 4: Editing civil costs on paths in a network problem
Sensible values for the civils parameters in the UK are
2.3 Flow, return, and ground temperatures
These parameters are all controllable in the options page of the network editor.
The flow and return temperature determine the amount of heat that can be transmitted by a pipe of a given diameter, using the equations described here. The ground temperature together with the average of the flow and return temperatures determines the heat losses associated with a pipe.
3 Heat supply
Heat supply parameters are all controlled by right clicking on a building:
Figure 6: Editing heat supply parameters
3.1 Maximum capacity
Supply maximum capacity limits the size of supply the model will ever construct in a location. Any network connected to this supply cannot require more than this power output at peak time.
3.2 Fixed cost
Supply fixed cost sets the capital cost that will be incurred if any supply is used from a location, no matter the amount.
This could reflect things like:
- The cost of purchasing land
- The administrative and engineering cost of setting up the plant
3.3 Capacity cost
The supply capacity cost sets the capital cost that will be incurred per unit capacity in a location. If the peak demand the supply has to meet is \(X\) kW, it costs \(X \times \text{capacity cost}\).
This reflects any capital cost that grows as the plant gets bigger.
3.4 Annual cost
The annual cost of a supply is a variable cost incurred each year , per unit capacity.
This reflects costs that come from maintaining the plant which grow as as the plant gets bigger. The annual cost is not tied to the amount of heat sold, just to the size of the peak demand.
3.5 Supply cost
The supply cost is the net cost of producing heat to put into the network. If the network were buying heat from a third party, this is the price they would pay for it. This should include the cost of primary fuel, pumping costs, any administrative costs that grow with the amount of heat sold and so on.
3.6 Emissions factors
Supply emissions factors are the emissions factors associated with producing a unit of heat to put into the network.

Northlight Theatre
THE GIFT OF THE MAGI and 1001 ARABIAN NIGHTS
Actor's Repertory Theatre
at the Victory Gardens Theater
The passion for destruction is also a creative passion. --anarchist philosopher Mikhail Bakunin
The Northlight Theatre's new computerized light board failed on the opening night of Nothing Sacred, and wouldn't be fixed. So it was decided that the actors would carry on anyway, performing under work lights. A full moon in the forest, consequently, came out looking exactly like dawn in a clearing, which in turn looked exactly like a farmhouse interior at dinnertime. The beginning and end of every scene were punctuated by the loud click of an electric switch backstage, followed either by full lights or full blackout. No in-betweens. No neat effects. No suave illusions.
It was perfect.
Because Nothing Sacred, George F. Walker's play based on Ivan Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, is about a man who claims to hate illusions. His name's Bazarov, and he lives the nihilist ideal (if that's the word for it) of negation: attacking every accepted structure and received notion, from class privilege and the existence of God to fashionable dress and established mealtimes.
A disciplined and energetic subversive, Bazarov's got no patience for anything aesthetic, romantic, traditional, inscrutable, or ideal. He abhors the flabby, unscientific ambiguities of love and poetry. Like Bakunin, he wants to tear the conventional world apart--both as a revolutionary act and as an interesting perceptual exercise. "Principles mean nothing to me," he remarks early on. "I simply base my conduct on what is useful."
Northlight's computer breakdown could've been one of Bazarov's exercises. Throw out lighting designer Robert Christen's versions of midnight and dawn, undercut delicate moments with the snap of a circuit breaker--attack the poetic illusion of 11 lives intersecting on a Russian estate in the spring of 1859--and what's left?
The answer, interestingly enough, is plenty. Computer or no computer, Northlight's Nothing Sacred is a lovely, funny, bracing thing. This is due in part to the skill and wit of an extraordinarily smart cast--including Michael Cerveris, whose offhanded yet fierce Bazarov radiates intelligence from the bone; and Ray Chapman, who, as Arkady, plays an increasingly unexpected Candide to Bazarov's would-be Voltaire. And Ned Schmidtke, who makes a painfully serious fool, while James Deuter and Tom Aulino make hilariously silly ones. And including Martha Lavey-Greene, whose cool gamesmanship as a widow with a reputation takes on intriguing facets when confronted with new twists.
It's due also to David Petrarca's playful direction; to the gorgeously apt costumes by Virgil C. Johnson and the aptly spare set design by Michael Philippi: and, not least of all, to Walker's script, which--in joyful contrast to just about every recent work I can think of--poses thinking and talking as pleasurable activities: as pastimes and art forms and useful enterprises requiring a certain amount of mastery in their use. Thoughts, and the ability to express them, actually matter in this play.
But the success of Nothing Sacred despite technical troubles is ultimately a function of our capacity to fill in the blanks. To fantasize our own midnight and dawn. To replace the broken illusion with one of our own, Bazarov would hate that. It's precisely what he's against. Mankind, he believes, is enslaved by its ability to fool itself.
He's wrong, though. Or only half-right. And this show proves it finally--not with a broken light board, but by means of Walker's simple, ironic, exceedingly delicate mining of Bazarov's own contradictions. Because Bazarov turns out to be human. It's his goodwill as much as his analysis, his sense of the sacred as much as his insistence on the nothing, that brings about his one great revolutionary triumph. This is a sweet lesson, and it's true even when the computer's working.
The Actor's Repertory Theatre is putting on a very weird double bill, consisting of (1) a musical version of O. Henry's blecchy sentimental Christmas story, The Gift of the Magi, and (2) selections from the Thousand and One Nights of Scheherazade. They try to rationalize this combination by saying that both works are "tales of magic," but that's bullshit. What really connects these two pieces is the half-funny, half-serious, totally convinced, and completely overwrought style Actor's Repertory Theatre brings to them.
There's a bizarre, extravagant energy to both pieces that makes them feel more like two parts of a high-concept comedy revue than double bill. That energy makes a fascinating shambles out of Magi, which is done up as a musical with a triumphantly quirky--and sometimes really good--score by Faith Soloway. You end up sitting through it simply because you can't believe it. Dumbfounded and awed, you wonder how something so alarmingly stupid could be so compelling.
1001 Arabian Nights is just as cracked, but a good deal more purposeful. The magic-carpet atmosphere created by the subject matter absorbs and focuses director Eric Nightengale's excesses. Then, too, the performances are better: sharper, more professional, and better defined in their intentions. 1001 Arabian Nights actually works.
This is the first I've seen of Actor's Repertory Theatre. I hope they bring this level of bravado to everything they do. They'll be something if they can find a use for it.
