text: Film 23 November 2016 Made in Prague: the psychological torment of Czech cinema is easy to admire but hard to recommend Psychosis, hysteria and abuse characterises these works that look back at the former Soviet and Socialist republics. Still from We Are Never Alone/Forum 2016 CZE/FRA 2016 by: Petr Vaclav Karel Roden, Lenka Vlasáková Sign UpGet the New Statesman's Morning Call email. Sign-up The Made in Prague film festival celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. The programme, which you can investigate here, runs until 5 December but I would draw your attention immediately to Petr Václav's curious and unsettling film We Are Never Alone. The screening is presented in conjunction with The New Social, a London-based collective which, it says here, "takes a sweeping look across Russia and former Soviet and Socialist republics to uncover how new social, political and cultural identities are being played out on film in the post-socialist era." The answer, if Vaclav's film is any indication, is: bleakly. In an unnamed Czech town, several hard-luck cases are reaching the end of their tether. There's a twitchy prison guard (Miroslav Hanus) who is paranoid that some of his former wards are out to kill him. He looks like a picture of sanity next to his hypochondriac neighbour (Karel Roden) who spends half his time wailing to the skies over his impending mortality and the other half painstakingly contorting his body in the search for incriminating new moles and blemishes. He is married to an understandably downcast checkout assistant (Lenka Vlasakova) who develops an obsession with an uncouth pimp (Zdenek Godla) in an unlikely but intriguing storyline that seems to have strayed in from a Bertrand Blier movie. Through this emotionally and physically desolate landscape wanders the young offspring of this sorry bunch – their raw, blank faces bearing witness to the suffering and psychosis around them as the picture veers back and forth between dry monochrome and lurid colour for no apparent reason. What saves We Are Never Alone from being oppressively grim is Václav's unusual, offbeat eye for framing and tone. Scenes here that could have been straightforwardly dour acquire a mordant wit that places some crucial distance between the characters' experiences and our perspective on them. It isn't that we are invited to feel superior – more that Václav finds room for a dab of the absurdist humour that is synonymous with the Czech new wave directors of the late 1960s, such as Jiří Menzel and Miloš Forman. Sometimes all it takes is a wordless, incredulous reaction shot from one of the children, inserted as a counterpoint to the hysteria of the adults, to offset the despair. Those nippers aren't slow to realise what's going on around them. The sons of the prison guard and the hypochondriac even incorporate their parents' foibles into their rough-and-tumble games. "Your dad thinks he's dying!" cries one lad in a sing-song voice. "Your dad doesn't know he's ill in the head!" the other one calls back. What larks. The picture needs those moments of respite, especially as it edges toward a sense of apocalypse that is all too timely. In one scene, a character announces his ambitions to run for president, and sets out a manifesto that consists of "sending those who don't belong here back where they came from" and railing against "journalists and lying economic experts babbling on TV". That uncomfortable scraping noise you can hear is a film getting too close to the bone. I, Olga is an even more gruelling experience, if that were possible. Olga Hepnarová (Michalina Olszanska) is a 22-year-old woman who deliberately drove a van at pedestrians on a Prague pavement in 1973, killing eight people. At her trial, she insisted on her own execution, arguing that the crime would have more gravity if she were put to death. She got her wish: she was the last woman to be hanged in Czechoslovakia. The writer-directors Tomas Weinreb and Petr Kazda have shot I, Olga in crisp black-and-white (no escape routes into colour here) but its psychological content occupies more of a grey area. Though Olga's emotional hardships at the hands of a cold, insensitive mother and abusive father – not to mention the violent bullying she suffers from her peers – are shown in detail, the film rightly stops short of conclusive explanation. It's an existential horror film, shot and performed with care and compassion. Easy to admire but hard to recommend. The Made in Prague film festival runs in London until 5 December 2016. We Are Never Alone screens on 30 November 2016. I, Olga is in cinemas now and available to watch on MUBI.com. › Donald Trump is the most Special Snowflake of them all Ryan Gilbey is the New Statesman's film critic.

Daley (Niall Toibin) is Barry's advisary. All other elements of the cast were tools in the two men's combat. These various schemes and subtle villainies make all the ploys and simple back stabbery of Melrose Place or Dynasty look like child's play. Dana Wynter plays Daley's English heiress wife.
"Bracken was a farmer who was living by himself and cheating on about six women," Gabriel Byrne explains. "He was a real lovable liar; there's a kind of sneaking respect for a character like that in Ireland. He's up to every roguish thing with a wink and a smile. So there's lots of shots of me looking meaningful in flocks of sheep."
Niall Toibin was once described as the greatest chipper of the ball in Ireland. "The reason was that in the television series, Bracken, there was a scene I had with Gabriel Byrne who comes to interview my character, Ned Daley, the baddie. So Daley's out on his lawn, chipping a series of golf-balls. Throughout the whole interview, Daley never looks up and just continuously chips away. By sheer luck, every single ball I hit went bop, like clockwork and everyone of them took the same trajectory. Looking at it, I was playing like a pro. We got it in one take which was quite an achievement." Directed by Noel O'Briain.moreless

All Progressives Congress (APC), Anambra State chapter, yesterday disagreed with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the status of the party in the pending Anambra Central Senatorial rerun election.
The party insisted that it must field a candidate in the election.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu had on Monday declared that APC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were not eligible to field candidates when the rerun election eventually takes place.
Reacting to INEC's pronouncement, APC, through its state Publicity Secretary, Mr. Okelo Madukaife said: "We agree with the chairman and share his hope that issues in Anambra Central can be resolved but vehemently disagree that APC will not field a candidate in the election.
"It is our fear that the chairman of INEC may have been misquoted. But, if for any reason you have correctly quoted him, we affirm that whenever the Anambra Senatorial election is held, in whatever mode it is held, and by whatever final interpretation the legal foundations are erected, APC will not only field a candidate, but will go ahead to win and return the zone and Anambra State to the ruling caucus of the Senate.
Meanwhile, the crisis rocking Ebonyi State chapter of the APC has reached crescendo with members accusing the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu as mastermind of the crisis in the state.
Chairman of the party, Ben Nwobasi said the National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun had allegedly violated the court order restraining him from dissolving any of the ward, local government or state executive of the party elected during the 2014 congresses in the state.
He said despite the order by Ebonyi State High Court in Abakaliki on November 6, 2014, Chief Odigie-Oyegun had allegedly transmitted power to his deputy, Pastor Eze Nwachukwu as acting state chairman pending the amicable resolution of the crisis.
Nwobasi alleged that the sudden claim of the headship of the party between him (Nwobasi) and his deputy, Pastor Nwachukwu was the handiwork of Onu and his cohorts. He said the ploy was aimed at locking the party in perpetual crisis to undermine the efforts of party leaders in reviving the party in the state.
The chairman, therefore, warned the national chairman of the grave consequences of violating the order which was pending in court. However South-East zone of the APC has inaugurated disciplinary and fund raising/finance committees to ensure the party has a firm grip on the region.
The disciplinary committee is headed by a former member of the Federal House of Representatives from Imo State, Uche Onyeagocha, while the fund raising/finance committee is headed by one-time governorship aspirant, Chief Gbazueagu Nweke Gbazueagu.
Other members of the committees include former speaker and acting governor of Abia State, Stanley Ohajuruka; former minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Nwaogu; the Managing Director of Peace Mass Transit Company, Dr Sam Onyishi, among others.
Swearing in members of the two committees, the party said it would no longer condone any form of indiscipline and misconduct amongst its members.
According to the party, the disciplinary committee had the mandate to maintain discipline in all the five states chapters of the party in the zone, as well as recommend punitive measures against erring members.

February marks the month-long celebration of African American history and culture, known as Black History Month, and though perhaps overlooked, the city of Boston has played quite a significant role in this rich history. As one of the oldest cities in the nation and a traditional hub of American culture--as well as social and political change--Boston has seen its share of major milestones in the African American narrative. From Crispus Attucks' death in the Boston Massacre, to the fiery speeches of escaped-slave-turned-preacher (and leader of the Abolitionist Movement), Frederick Douglass, African American communities throughout the history of Boston have long been a significant part of this city. In more recent times, the city has even been home to a few diverse but iconic figures, from controversial civil rights activist Malcolm X (who once worked as a busboy at the Parker House Hotel), to famous entertainers like disco star Donna Summer and highly influential R&B supergroup, New Edition.
For a closer look at the roots of this fascinating part of Boston's history, check out the Black Heritage Trail. It begins, similarly to the Freedom Trail, in the Beacon Hill neighborhood--but will give you a very unique perspective on the story of our nation. --the trail includes sites like the famous monument dedicated to the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. This elegant bronze work of art, sculpted over 14 years by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, was named the Robert Gould Shaw Memorial--a memorial to the fallen white colonel of that regiment, but also meant to honor the lives and bravery of very first all African American regiment to fight in the Civil War. The regiment is remembered most notably for the valiant yet tragic campaign at Fort Wagner, near Charleston, South Carolina, where hundreds of men (including Col. Shaw) lost their lives. This Beacon Hill monument, and the story of these brave men behind, were featured in 1989's Oscar-winning film, Glory.
Also featured on the trail are refuge sites on Harriet Tubman's Underground Railroad(a network of sanctuary homes through which African Americans would be rescued from the shackles of captivity in the south), as well as homes of some of Boston's Black Brahmins, a name for some of the educated class of African American socialites that took shape in Boston, towards the end of the 19th century (a lesser-known tier of Bostonian society that was central in Contending Forces, a serial novel by African-American novelist and M.I.T. stenographer, Pauline Hopkins).
Another site central to Boston's African American legacy is the Boston Massacre site, which sits in front of the Old State House. It was here that Crispus Attucks, a man of African and Wampanoag descent who'd fled slavery and made his home in Boston, gave his life as the (probable) first casualty during an outbreak of violence between colonists and British soldiers--an act which many saw as the acceleration of the revolutionary fight for American Independence.
In short, an investigation into Boston's African American history and its sites is well worth your time, if you're looking for a more in depth look at an important part of our nation's story. Though the city has seen times of strife, including the ugly days of the busing riots during attempts to integrate Boston's public schools, it has more often been at the vanguard of social progress, from the revolution they gave us independence, to movements such as Abolition and Civil Rights. We are proud to say that Boston's history is a history that African Americans have always been a part of.

CEREMONY QUESTIONS: There are various degrees of difficulty with outdoor ceremonies. The most difficult would be if
you are far from an electrical source, far from vehicle access, with no shelter from sun or rain. I can handle anything, given
the time to prepare, so please send details well in advance.
1. Is the ceremony in the SAME location as the reception, so I can use the same sound system?
2. Can you do the ceremony without a microphone (small room), with only 1 mic (share with readers, move to pick up vows)
or is there a multi-microphone set up required (readers, musicians, singers)?
3. If ceremony location AWAY from reception, how far away is it? Are golf carts provided for DJ gear?
4. If ceremony location AWAY from reception, will electricity be available within 200 feet? Would you like to rent my
ultra-quiet gas-powered generator?
5. Will protection from sun and rain be available at the ceremony site for the DJ gear?
6. Best microphone placement: Could I use my standard single microphone on a 4' high stand, turned up loud enough to
pick up both the officiant and the bride and groom for the vows? See video below the planning questions to see a ceremony
where the vows are picked up equally with the officiant's voice from a microphone on a low stand, out of sight.
Ideas for Prelude:
____"Play Vitamin String Quartet Versions of Pop Songs" See list of my favorites below
____"Play Piano Guys Versions of Pop songs"
____"Play Classical Music, such as Vivaldi Four Seasons"
____"Play Country Love Songs" ___"Play Christian Pop"
____"Play Colbie Caillat, Norah Jones, and Ingrid Michaelson soft pop love songs"
Sometimes there is a song for the Seating of Parents:
____"Better Together" by Jack Johnson
____"You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban
____"What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong
Will you have me start a certain track at the moment the seating of parents and grandparents would begin and
have it continue through the wedding party and/or bride.....?
Sometimes the groom enters to 30-40 seconds of special music. Ideas: "Thunderstruck" (string quartet
version), "Imperial March" from Star Wars, and "Walk Thru" by Rich Homie Quan
Wedding Party Processional Ideas:
____"Stand By Me" by Florence and the Machine
____"Bittersweet Symphony" by Aranbee Pop Symphony Orchestra
____"Pachelbel Canon in D" (Do you like full orchestra, classical guitar, celtic...or?)
____"Somewhere Only We Know" by Simply Three
____A segment from Vivaldi's Four Seasons
Bride's Processional:
____"Yours" (Russell Dickerson instrumental acoustic guitar version by Bridesmaids Quartet)
____"You Are The Reason" by Calum Scott
____"How Long Will I Love You" (Cairn String Quartet Version of the Ellie Goulding song)
____"At Last" by Etta James, skipping the first 15 seconds
____"Butterfly Waltz" Brian Crain
____"A Thousand Years" Piano Guys
____"Fanfare and Trumpet Voluntary" Canadian Brass
____"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" Classical Full Orchestra
____"Marry You" Bruno Mars
____"Marry You" Violin Instrumental
____"Marry Me" Train
____"Never Stop (wedding version)" SafetySuit
____"I Get to Love You" by Ruelle
Mid-Ceremony Music for Mixing Sand, Lighting Candles, etc.:
___"Grow Old With You" Guitar Instrumental version of the Adam Sandler tune.
___"Grow Old With Me" Vocal version by Mary-Chapin Carpenter
___"Here We Stand" by T Carter Music (two versions: acoustic guitar or full band?)
___"This is it" (Instrumental or vocal?)
____"(This Will Be) An Everlasting Love" by Natalie Cole cued up to the refrain
____"Wedding March" by Mendelssohn
____"Signed Sealed Delivered" Stevie Wonder, could be cued up to the 2nd refrain
____"All You Need Is Love" Beatles cued up 8 seconds into it
____"Now That We Found Love" Heavy D and the Boyz
____"Crazy in Love" by Beyonce
____"Best Day of My Life" by American Authors cued up to the refrain :38 seconds into it
____"You Send Me" by Aretha Franklin cued up 15 seconds into it
____"...I love you BABY..." Last 45 seconds of "Can't Take My Eyes off of You" by Frankie Valli
____"Forever and Ever Amen" by Randy Travis
TIPS: Have the seating of parents/grandparents start at the actual ceremony start time, following a 10-15 minute
prelude. After the seating, the groom and officiant walk up together to the front, and the groom turns and faces the
guests. That would be my cue to start the "Wedding Party Processional" which could include the bride using the
same song, but if not, I will need to watch for either a flower girl or count the wedding party members to know when
to start the Bride's Processional. What will be my cue to start the Bride's Processional?
My favorite prelude list:
(All instrumentals performed by Vitamin String Quartet and similar artists)
1. Just Like Heaven (from the Cure)

A few days ago, I was doing some cleaning around my Boulevard 88 condo and noticed a box that I brought with me when I first moved into the condo. I never unpacked the box, which was odd, because I thought I had unpacked everything. As I opened the box, I saw that it was a collection of all of my items from high school. My old year book, some pictures with my friends, and even my class ring were in it. I spent the whole day just looking in the year book and remembering all of the things that I did back then. It was like taking a trip back in time.
Looking at all of the old items that I found in the box convinced me that I should try to contact some of the people that went to my high school. There were lots of phone numbers and email addresses written in the yearbook, so I had some kind of idea as how to track down all of these people. Some of them were even friends with me already on my Facebook account, so if I needed some help finding the rest, I could just ask my friends online and they would help me figure it out.
I spent even more time contacting people than I did looking at all of the things that were in the box. I had a fun time talking to people from my past and catching up with their lives. One person went on to become an astronaut and spent a year in space. Another became a lawyer and had a part in a high profile trial. Another one became a school teacher at our old high school and is teaching alongside a few of the teachers that taught us so many years ago.

News in brief
Storm toll rises to 22
MANILA, Dec 30: At least 22 people died from a storm that swept through the central Philippine islands at the weekend, authorities said on Sunday, with rescue operations under way in flood-inundated communities. The death toll rose from four a day after the storm brought heavy rain to the Bicol and Eastern Visayas regions, causing massive flooding and landslides, the government's office of civil defence said. Many of the deaths were due to landslides and drowning, it added, saying floods had yet to recede even as the weather disturbance known locally as "Usman" weakened into a low pressure area. -AFP


text: The levitation melting has a potentially wide range of applications, especially in the processing of reactive metals whose contact with the crucible material causes their contamination and damage to the crucible itself. Despite its advantages, levitation melting, already proposed in the 1920s, has not yet found significant use in industrial conditions. This is due to the nature of the electromagnetic field used in previously developed devices. The disappearance of this field in the system axis causes overcoming, in the case of larger charges, surface tension forces and metal leakage from the device. The article contains a comparative analysis of a conventional solution and a newly developed levitation melting device, whose completely different design eliminates the previous weight limit of the charge.JO - Archives of Metallurgy and Materials L1 - http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111330/PDF/AMM-2019-2-33-Panic.pdf L2 - http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111330 PY - 2019 IS - No 2 EP - 632 KW - levitation melting KW - reactive metals KW - numerical modelling A1 - Golak, S.

Straight cuts can be performed with a normal manual cutter. However we would advise sanding the cut edges with a 60-100 grit Sanding block.
Alternatively, you can use a wet cutter or angle grinder, but it is important that you have a diamond blade, specially designed for cutting glass.
Walls And Floors
These mosaics can be used in bathrooms but we would not usually recommend usage in areas of direct water contact. Providing the tiles will only get minor splashing, they should be fine. The hole will need patching up as securely as possible and be fully waterproof, then the mosaics would require fixing and grouting with Kerapoxy:
Walls And Floors
This tiles can be fitted in bathroom when fixed with an Epoxy adhesive and grout.
However we cannot recommend them for use on the floor as they are glass.
Walls and Floors
The adhesive and grout required to fit these tiles is epoxy which is impervious to normal moisture and humidity. So providing they are fitted correctly with the right adhesive, they will be fine on normal bathroom walls.
Walls and Floors
If the mirror tiles are fixed and fully grouted in Epoxy, they are fine for areas that are likely to get wet from time to time or areas with high humidity. They should not be immersed in water and they should not be used in shower cubicles.
Epoxy Adhesive and Grout can be found here:

Patrick Macnee ...Written by McGovern in WRITERS & ARTISTS on 3 September 2015 à 21:58
... has just died (June 26, 2015): he was 93 but he will remain as the typically English dandy.
He was world famous as John Steed, Her Majesty's intelligence agent in the serial "The Avengers" (French : "Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir")
Why English? – because of his bowler hat and sharp suit, because of his character's temper (a real smart, cool gentleman, with his British composure (Fr.: flegme britannique), and a good sense of humour, also a lover of beautiful ladies, including Emma Peel (actress Diana Rigg), Tara King (played by Linda Thorson); Macnee was pre-deceased by his three wives (the actress Katherine Woodville was the second).
A lot of things you wouldn't expect from Patrick Macnee :
-He first went to Eton College before joining a London drama school.
-He served in the Royal Navy in the Second World War. "Macnee caught bronchitis just before D-Day; while he was recuperating in hospital, his boat and crew were lost in action" (Wikipedia).
-his character never used a gun, but was skilful with an umbrella
-he featured in an Oasis music video for their 1996 song "Don't Look Back In Anger", appearing as the band's driver.
-He was in the 1985 James Bond film "A View To A Kill" with Roger Moore, acting as Bond's ally, the horse trainer Sir Godfrey Tibbett.
-He is one of a very small number of actors to have portrayed both Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson on screen.
-He openly criticized the private sale, purchase and use of guns
-He died in California, where he'd been living for over 40 years (he became a US citizen in 1959).

HOUSTON – Right now, despite all the high-tech advances, the gold standard for transporting a donated organ to a recipient is a simple a cooler.
While that's the best we had currently have, trials are being conducted on a new machine designed specifically for livers. It works like a human body until the donated liver gets to its recipient.
Randy Smith spends time at church reading and talking to God. He said one time in particular God answered him.
"Two days after the first hospital told me I was terminal and I was praying and reading my Bible, the Holy Spirit came over me and told me I wasn't going to die," Smith said.
Smith was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and went to Houston Methodist Hospital for a second opinion. There he found Dr. Ashish Saharia had something other doctors did not know about.
While Methodist treated his cancer, Smith was put on the liver transplant list. He got a call that a match was found but the health of the organ was questionable.
"The liver that we got for him was a fatty liver, and otherwise we would have been a little hesitant using it but because we were able to put it in the machine and test that it was actually a good liver, we were able to put it in," Saharia said. "It's almost like testing it on a machine before you put it in a human being so, so what's really fascinating about this is you can actually test whether or not it's going to work. Especially the livers that you don't know or you (are) worried that they won't work and if you can test whether the liver can work in a person, this is an ideal situation for them."
Saharia used the TransMedics OCS liver technology, which mimics the human body and tests whether or not the liver is going to work.
"They take your liver and instead of putting it in ice and a big ice chest, they put it in a machine that keeps it 98.6 degrees, runs blood throughout the whole time," Smith said while explaining what he knew about the device. "They have monitors checking your enzyme levels and the different things in your liver, analyze the liver for fat content and keep it like it's inside a human body."
As one of the first hospitals in the United States to try this machine on human organs, Smith had to agree to be a guinea pig. Since he said he promised to have faith in whatever came his way, he said he agreed to be the first person in Texas to receive a liver transplant that went from the donor and through the machine before it was given to him.
Now, two years later, Smith is cancer-free with a healthy liver.
"Everything looks perfect, no signs of any potential cancer or anything," he said.
Saharia said the next step is to prove to government health officials that the machine is better than the current standard (a cooler) and after this clinical trial, prove the machine could "clean up" questionable organs and give doctors certainty they will work before they ever go into the patient.

Gire Orthodontics – Individualized Care by Experienced Specialists
A bright, beautiful smile is often the first physical feature we notice in others. At Gire Orthodontics, we strive to give you a healthy, beautiful smile that you will be proud to show off. You deserve an orthodontist who puts patients first. Dr. Robert Gire and Dr. Kashif Ismail provide exceptional, individualized care to every patient, while working hard to build strong, trusting relationships.
- Patients are our number one priority. We learn the name of every patient, as well as their parents. Each patient becomes a member of our family, and we treat them as such. We take the mystery and anxiety out of orthodontic care by taking the time to explain the treatment from beginning to end with every patient we treat.
- We are the ONLY board certified orthodontists in La Habra and South Chino Hills. Board certification is important, because it shows a commitment to excellence in orthodontics, but less than 25% of all practicing orthodontists are board certified. Don't trust your smile to anyone other than a board certified orthodontist.
- We offer a variety of options, allowing patients to choose the treatment they feel comfortable with. Our patients are a part of the decision process because we leave the ultimate choice up to them. We discuss all available options, including Invisalign®, Damon® System, ICE brackets, and even traditional braces. Our orthodontists have tremendous experience and will recommend the treatment they believe will have the best outcome to meet your needs.
- We stay up-to-date on the latest technology, procedures and equipment available. Digital X-rays cut down on radiation exposure, and, along with digital photographs, allow us to make better, more accurate diagnoses much quicker.
- We are the ONLY office in both La Habra and Chino Hills that offers safe, accelerated treatment options. Orthodontic care doesn't have to take forever, and we have the tools to get you that board certified smile faster than ever before!
- Orthodontics should be affordable. Everyone deserves the best smile possible, and we never want anyone to be turned away from a new smile because of the cost of treatment. We work with your insurance company to ensure your benefits are being maximized, and we provide affordable rates to fit anyone's budget.
- Orthodontics can be fun! We want everyone who comes to our office to be excited about their next visit and to have fun when they are here, so we run special contests throughout the year.
- Both of our offices are open weekdays, weekends, and evenings. That means we can offer convenient appointment times that fit into your schedule. And, if an immediate need should arise, we encourage patients to come in.

Lately I've had some inquiries from potential new 8 Ball Express host locations in different parts of town that want to join 8BX. I've also stopped into a few taverns, bars and pool halls that don't currently host teams to let them know about 8 Ball Express and have had some good responses. :)
If you are interested in playing/visiting somewhere new or with/against some new people, just give me a shout and I can arrange to talk with them or drop off some info.

If you haven't used pensioner online services before, or if you've forgotten your details, it only takes a few minutes to register for an account or reset your password.
Remember, if this is your first year receiving a pension your member number will have changed, and you will now need to log in to pensioner services online. Make sure your member number is followed by the two letters of your scheme. E.g. 71234567PS for PSS, or N11111DF for DFRDB
We've also published a payday calendar to help you keep track of your pension paydays.
On what days will my pension be paid?

Australian Government's Protecting Your Super package
Why do I currently pay an exit fee ?
CSC currently charges exit fees because processing a member request to exit the fund incurs administration costs.
Charging an exit fee was a fair way to ensure the remaining members in the fund didn't bear the cost of those members choosing to exit the fund (by way of higher Administration costs).
There are a few different reasons why the Government has decided to ban regulated superannuation funds from charging exit fees. These include making it easier for people to switch funds and the fact that some other superannuation funds have used exit fees as a disincentive to leave their fund by charging higher than reasonable fees. We anticipate that this change will affect most exit fees currently charged by CSC. Once we know more about how this change will impact your fees, we will communicate that to you.
Note: While PYSP changes impact some defined benefit schemes, CSC's defined benefit schemes (such as CSS, PSS, and MilitarySuper) are not impacted because they do not charge exit or administration fees.
CSC currently only charges exit fees on a cost recovery basis (i.e. we do not make any profit from exit fees). We will communicate with you in relation to any changes to our fees as a result of this new change.
Why haven't you removed exit fees before now?
As a trusted and transparent Superannuation provider, CSC only charges exit fees to members on a cost recovery basis.
CSC does not make a profit from exit fees or retain any of these amounts for our benefit as we are a Not-for-profit / profit-for-members organisation.
Currently, the exit fees charged to members reflect long term commercial arrangements that CSC entered into with our service providers several years ago. This was done originally to allow CSC to maintain the current administration fees charged to members without passing on regular fee increases to exit fees charged to CSC.
However, through this legislation change we will be working through what these arrangements means for you, us and our service providers.
Once we know more on this, we will communicate that to you.
What does a 3% cap on fees mean for me?
This change is only likely affect you if you have an account balance of $6,000 or less at the end of a financial year (for example 30 June 2019).
Although the details of the cap are yet to be determined and the cap will not apply to all fees that members pay, CSC will be required to ensure that members of its regulated superannuation schemes who have an account balance less than $6,000 at the end of a financial year do not pay more than 3% of their account balance for certain fees and costs (generally administration and Investment related fees) for that financial year.
CSC is working with our service providers to implement this change as soon as practicable and with as little impact to all Customers as possible.
Note: While PYSP changes impact some defined benefit schemes, CSC's defined benefit schemes (such as CSS, PSS, and MilitarySuper) are not impacted because they do not charge exit or administration fees.
I have a preserved account, what will this mean for me / do I have an 'Inactive low-balance account' which will be transferred to the ATO?
If your account balance is over $6,000 and/or you have taken any active steps in relation to your account in the past 16 months (including making contributions, investment switches or beneficiary nomination changes) it is likely you do not have an 'inactive low-balance account'
There are only limited circumstances where an account will be transferred to the ATO as a result of this change. In general, the account has to satisfy all of the following requirements:
- You and your employer have not made any contributions to your account for 16 months
- The balance of your account is less than $6,000
- Your account does not support, or relate to, a defined benefit
- There is no insurance attached to your account
- You have made no investment option switch for 16 months
- You have made no beneficiary nomination change for 16 months
- You have not nominated in writing that you do not want to be an inactive member; and
- You do not owe any money to your super fund.
It is unlikely that you would meet all of these criteria, however, if you do happen to meet these criteria then your account will be transferred to the ATO as unclaimed money. The ATO will then seek to reunite you with any amounts and consolidate to the active account that they have on record (generally within 28 days). We will contact you if there is a risk that this is likely to occur so that you have the opportunity to opt to remain a member if this is what you want to do.
Note: Defined benefit schemes (such as CSS, PSS, and MilitarySuper) are exempt from being transferred to the ATO as 'Inactive Low-Balance' accounts.
I have an inactive account but I don't want my insurance to lapse, what do I need to do to retain it?
You don't have to do anything now. We will communicate with all impacted PSSap customers and let you know how you can ensure you retain your lifePLUS cover.
Note: These insurance changes do not apply to certain accounts, including defined benefit accounts (such as PSS, MilitarySuper, and CSS), and accounts of ADF Super members.
Logging in to online services
I am having trouble logging into my account, has something changed?
When you log into your account, make sure that your scheme is selected and showing correctly in the top navigation bar.
Your login page may have two login options—one for members, and one for pensioners—so make sure you're clicking the right button.
If you are in receipt of a pension, make sure your membership number is followed by the two letters of your scheme. For example; 71234567PS for PSS pensioners, or N11111DF for DFRDB pensioners.
What do I do if I can't remember my AGS number, or my Service number?
Your AGS number can be found on your last payslip, annual super statement or payment split notice (if you are an associate member through a family law settlement). Your Service number is your service prefix (A, N, R) followed by your PM Key.
If you have a MyGov account, your member/account number may also be listed in your ATO record. You can find these details under 'fund information' in the Super menu.
How can I create an account for online services?
Go to, the Login page and click 'register now' under the 'first time user' heading.
You will need to have your AGS, Service Number, or Pension Reference number handy. Your AGS number can be found on your last payslip, annual super statement, or payment split notice (if you are an associate member through a family law settlement). Your Service number is your service prefix ('A' for Army, 'N' for Navy, or 'R' for air-force) followed by your PM Key.
I can't access my online services account from my work computer, is something wrong?
Some government networks may have security firewalls in place which prevent access to our online services. If you are experiencing difficulty logging on to your account using your work computer, please try again from a personal device.
Joining a super fund managed by CSC
Do I have to work for the government to join a superannuation fund managed by CSC?
Because CSC looks after super funds designed specifically for Australian Government and Defence Force employees, you do have to be, or have been, an Australian Government employee or member of the Australian Defence Force to join a CSC scheme.
If I'm leaving the public service or defence force, can I stay with my CSC fund?
If you're a PSSap or ADF Super customer with an active or preserved account, you may be eligible to continue contributing to your fund when you leave the public service or ADF. See our changing jobs page for more information.
Why aren't defined benefit schemes open to new members?
Defined benefit schemes (like CSS, PSS, and MillitarySuper) are great if you intend to stay with the same employer, such as the ADF or APS, for a long time. They were designed at a time where people stayed with one employer for the majority of their career.
Nowadays, the average person will work 17 jobs over five different careers! And so, with the changing nature of the Australian workforce, defined benefit schemes were deemed no longer fit for purpose and new schemes were opened to better suit the modern workforce.
The current type of superannuation accounts (aka 'accumulation schemes') are designed to be flexible and can move with you if you change your employment arrangement.
Forms and factsheets
How do I return a completed form?
All of our forms should have lodgement advice on them—usually on the back page. If you come across a form that does not have instructions on how to submit, you can email it to firstname.lastname@example.com
What is the difference between a form and a factsheet?
A form is the way we gather information from you, a factsheet is the way we get information to you. You can find forms and factsheets under the 'advice and resources menu'. If you're after a factsheet, make sure you click the 'factsheets' tab on the 'factsheets and publications' page.
You will need to select your scheme from the drop down menu of scheme options to see forms and factsheets that are relevant to you.

Where can I find your ABN?
Easy! Just scroll down. CSC's ABN and all of our scheme ABNs are listed at the bottom of our webpages.
Where can I find information about CSC's ethical investments?
You can find information about CSC's ethical investments in our product disclosure statements. You can also read more in our Stewardship Factsheet.
We believe that the most successful companies are those that consider the long-term sustainability of their business, not just the short-term drivers of current profitability.
We don't automatically avoid companies associated with a negative theme (such as a high carbon footprint). Instead, we identify those companies at risk, work to understand the implications for their share price, and, where appropriate and practicable, support those companies to undertake activities that will reduce any undesirable outcome.
For example, we engage with companies identified as having large carbon footprints, and support them through a responsible transition of resources and processes towards reducing any undesirable climate consequences from the operation of their business.
General questions
Is having money in super really different from keeping money in the bank?
There are benefits and risks to having money in your super account, rather than in the bank.
One of the benefits of super is that tax rates on super are often lower than regular tax on income and normal investment earnings, and you pay no tax on investment earnings if you are taking your super benefit as a pension. See our Financial Fitness page for more info.
Another benefit of money in your super account is the power of compounding returns. Thanks to the power of compounding, super can be wealth building! As each year goes by, any earnings that your super makes are reinvested—essentially giving you the potential to earn investment returns on investment returns.
However, like any other investment, super is subject to the risk of investment loss. There are also restrictions on when and how you can access funds held in super, where there generally aren't those restrictions placed on the funds you hold in your bank account.
Find out more in our 'Super 101' video.
Before you make any big financial decisions, we recommend you seek professional advice from a licensed financial planner*.
How can I vary the tax I pay on my pension?
If you want CSC to withhold additional tax, you can email firstname.lastname@example.com and advise us of the additional amount to be deducted each fortnight, either as a percentage or as a dollar amount. Please make sure you include your name, pension reference number and date of birth in this email.
How can I consolidate my super?
There are different rules around consolidation for each of our schemes. To find out more about consolidating your super, see our 'consolidate other super' page and ensure you have selected your scheme from the drop-down menu.
Whether or not it is beneficial for you to consolidate your super depends on your personal objectives, financial situation and needs. Before making a decision you should consider the impact of consolidation on any existing insurance you hold through your existing funds, and you may want to seek professional advice from a licensed financial planner*.
How can I update my contact details?
You can update your contact details at any time using online services. Simply log in and update your details.
If you're currently a serving member of the ADF, your personal information, including your address, is regularly reported to us by the Department of Defence.
Where can I find the i-estimator tool?
For PSS, CSS, Military Super and DFRDB schemes, the i-estimator can be found in your member online services.
How can I make an appointment to see a financial planner?
Call us at 1300 277 777, or email us at email@example.com, and we'll ask you a few questions to pinpoint exactly what kind of advice you need, and schedule a face-to-face or telephone appointment with one of our authorised financial planners.
How do I let you know I've changed my name?
If your current employer is contributing super to your CSC super Fund, they should be able to update your name on their payroll system and send the update through to us. Check with your HR department to see if this is possible.
If your HR department can't update us with your change of name, or if your employer doesn't contribute to your CSC Fund, you will need to let us know directly by sending in a change of details form.
Note: For us to be able to change your name on our records, we need certified copies of your:
- marriage certificate with your new name; OR
- birth certificate if you have changed back to your maiden name; OR
- change of name certificate if you have changed your name by deed poll.
Your identity documents must prove your original name (as held on our system), as well as how you transitioned from that name to your new name. All documents must be certified as true and correct copies by an appropriate person, such as a lawyer or Justice of the Peace.
How can I transfer/rollover super into my PSSap account?
To transfer super from another fund into your PSSap account, you can complete the Transfer your super to PSSap form or consolidate super into PSSap with our Super Finder tool.
You need to be a contributing PSSap member to transfer super into PSSap.
What fees do I pay on my account?
What is a unit price?
When you invest in super, you're actually purchasing units in a given investment option. The unit prices go up and down each day, in much the same way that a share does, based on movements in the market value. As the unit price changes, so does the overall value of your investment. When you make a withdrawal, you sell a number of units in that investment option.
The unit prices we report show the value of the portfolio's underlying assets at the close of business one business day earlier. This gives us time to collate data from international markets (as Australia is ahead of other financial markets by up to 24 hours), and reflect it in our fund valuations.
How is a unit price calculated?
The unit price for an investment option reflects the total value of assets in that option (less fees not deducted directly from your account, expenses and taxes), divided by the number of all units issued in the investment option.
Generally, we take the available market value of assets in each investment option at the end of each business day, and use these values to calculate the unit price on the following business day—i.e. if we calculate the unit price for 1 September, it will be made available on 2 September (if it's a business day).
If an unforeseeable event, such as a trading suspension in relevant markets, means we can't calculate a unit price on schedule (i.e. on the next business day), we take all reasonable steps to recommence unit pricing as soon as possible.
What were the average investment earnings for the last financial year and/or other financial years?
You can find the average investment returns for your scheme on our page below.
A graph will then display the returns for the most recent quarter, previous financial year, as well as investment information for longer time horizons.
How does investment performance affect my benefit?
As a member PSSap, ADF Super, or CSCri, you have the choice of investing in one, or more, of four investment options—Cash, Income Focused, MySuper Balanced and Aggressive.
If you don't choose an investment option, your super will be invested in the default option, MySuper Balanced.
Why have there been negative investment returns throughout the year?
Share markets fluctuate up and down in the short term, and financial markets today are under stress as they are processing the economic consequences of a complex set of events.
Our approach aims to minimise losses when markets fall, but also capture most of the increases when markets are rising strongly. This is why we tend to outperform other funds in volatile and troubled market environments.
Over the long-term horizon for customers in our balanced option, we expect to deliver competitive returns with greater certainty of income sufficiency at retirement.
The table below outlines the minimum suggested timeframe for holding investment options and the risk of the option having a negative return (i.e. will lose value) in any 20 year period.
|Income focused
|Preserve capital, earn close to Bloomberg AusBond bank bill index before fees

1The purpose of the Standard Risk Measure (SRM) is to provide members with a descriptor to assist in comparing investment options (both within and across superannuation funds) utilising a simplified risk measure. The SRM is recommended by APRA, ASIC, ASFA and FSC.

The Supreme Court issued an important ruling earlier today in a case that affirmed FERC Order 745, which "calls for demand response to be compensated like other generators in wholesale energy markets." The 6-2 verdict in favor of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) was, among other things, a major victory for U.S. providers of energy conservation services (e.g., EnerNOC, whose "jumped as much as 84 percent in New York trading"). It is simultaneously a major defeat for big power producers such as "NRG Energy Inc., FirstEnergy Corp., Talen Energy Corp., Calpine Corp., Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. and American Electric Power Co."
For some excellent background on this case, see David Roberts' 2014 post, "Radical judge kneecaps clean electricity under cover of boringness." As Roberts explained at the time, the consequences for FERC Order 745 losing at the Supreme Court could have been severe.
But this ruling could be a serious stumbling block. In a brief before the court, the Maryland Public Service Commission said: "To separate demand response from market participation will increase prices, confuse operations, and make planning unnecessarily complex." Wellinghoff calls the ruling "devastating." An analysis by GTM research found that it could cost the demand-response industry $4.4 billion in revenue over the next 10 years...
Customers will suffer too. An analysis by Navigant found that if all demand-response resources were removed, prices in the PJM capacity market (which covers several east-coast states) would jump three-fold, resulting in substantially higher prices for consumers.
Given all that, today's ruling was a big deal -- and a big victory for the cleantech industry, the environment and consumers. According to the Natural Resource Defense Council:
The Supreme Court's decision is great news for consumers and the environment. It gives consumers more opportunity to save, and even make, money through smarter electricity use. Also, because demand response is flexible and fast-acting, it enables the affordable integration of more wind and solar power into the electricity transmission grid.
Demand response is a critical tool for bringing energy markets into the 21st century by recognizing the value in avoiding carbon emissions and other pollution while maintaining a clean, affordable and reliable electric system.
Today's ruling gives clean energy a huge boost and keeps America moving forward toward our critical goal of slashing climate-warming emissions while maintaining a clean, affordable, and reliable electric system.
Or, as former FERC Chair John Wellinghoff explains over at Greentech Media, the Supreme Court's decision is "going to make consumers an equal participant in the market in a way they never were before. That was the intention of Order 745, and that has been vindicated." Wellinghoff adds that this ruling "is not just a win for large-scale demand response...but also for resources at the edge of the grid like solar and energy storage," as consumers will now be able to "fully play in wholesale markets like a generator."
To put it yet another way, Climate Progress quotes a Sierra Club expert that demand response not only helps reduce wasteful energy consumption and pollution, but "is helpful for integrating wind and solar into the grid, it's "critical for implementing things like the Clean Power Plan and renewable energy standards in a way that keeps electricity prices stable and affordable." In sum, as the headline at Climate Progress puts it, "Supreme Court Rules In Favor Of Renewable Energy and Cheap Electricity." Not a bad day at the Supreme Court for the cleantech industry, in other words.

Magolu Khat is a truly huge vacationer goal in Jorhat. Lord Rajeshwar Sinha had manufactured the Magolus or the Manipuris in the wake of wedding a Manipuri princess. The ruler had hitched Kuranganayani, the Manipuri princess at Manaimaji town. The Magolu Khat is situated around 6 km far from the Jorhat downtown area. The site remains as an image of what a ruler could improve the situation his significant other.
Despite the fact that the place lies in ruins today, the emanation and the recollections haven't decreased yet. The site may not be great in the quintessential way, but rather it is delightful in its own rights. Since Magolu Khat is only 6 km from the Jorhat downtown area, it is anything but difficult to achieve this traveler goal.

On the Road with Chic Chat Cards
Chic Chat was on the ROAD again a few weeks ago at the BMW Ultimate Driver's Experience and we had such a great time!! Above we've got a few of the highlights from the event with our correspondent, Cortney. The event was amazing and there's no better way to show our fun than through video and Chic Chat cards.
Talking to real women about their real lives is so important to us here at Chic Chat, so we started off the evening pulling women to the side for real talk. We took out some of the best cards for women to answer and we adored their candid responses. Ladies opened up about their past struggles with men, they told us juicy secrets about their private lives and much much more! The best part was our Founder & CEO, Cathleen Trigg-Jones, stopping by to answer a few Chic Chat cards as well.
Oprah Winfrey said it best when she stated, "living in the moment means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future. It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift." One of the reasons why Chic Chat cards are so magical, is their ability to reach every woman at a basic, most understanding level. Every woman has problems, every woman goes through hardship, but not every story is the same. Chic Chat cards give each woman a chance to open up in a comfortable way that many other games don't allow. Chic Chat cards were designed to give women the feeling of a girls night in, and that was clearly evident with the women that stopped to talk with us. Women were laughing, spilling secrets and sipping wine…just like you'd do at your girlfriend's house on a Friday night!
When the night came to a close they literally had to kick us out! They didn't, but seriously, women couldn't stop talking about the fun they had with the Chic Chat cards. Make sure you head over to ChicChat.com to buy your own set of Chic Chat cards. You never know where we'll be next, so make sure you save your best outfit and your biggest smile for us! We can't wait until the next event. Stay tuned!

Clash of Civilizations, or War of World-views?
(Neil's Note: I was preparing an essay in response to the recent atrocities in Paris, when I realized that almost 10 years ago – in April 2006, to be precise – I had written a screed on the subject of Islamic terrorism. So I got it out, and decided that despite its age, it might be of interest to the denizens of this forum; if only to give a sense of how far the issue is stuck in a mental morass of plus ça change.)
