People in rural and remote areas are already paying for health care they can't access and Medicare co-payments will do nothing to improve the situation for them.
It would be counter-productive in health terms and unfair in 'Australian terms' to erect any additional barriers in the health sector to primary care in country or city. There is evidence from around the world that the more access people have to primary care, the healthier they are as individuals, communities and even whole societies.
Primary care is provided in many of the more remote areas by nurses, Aboriginal Health Workers, allied health professionals, the RFDS and others - in circumstances where there is often no local GP. The health funding changes that will work in such areas are those that recognise, increase and enhance the wonderful work undertaken by those other professionals - not fiddling with GP co-payments.
Out-of-pocket health care costs are already higher in rural and remote areas and many people make extraordinary efforts to access a GP, including paying transport costs, and the last thing they need is another barrier to access. Lack of continuity of care is also an issue.
In aggregate, people in rural and remote areas have about $2.1 billion less access to primary care every year than people in the major cities. This disparity is despite the fact that they have poorer health, lower socio-economic status and lower life expectancy than people living in Australia's major cities.
Co-payments for emergency department treatments and extra costs for private health insurance would simply exacerbate these rural access deficits. Compared with those who live in major cities, country people by necessity have to rely on public hospitals by an amount estimated at $800 million a year more because they have limited access to primary care services.
The uptake of private health insurance (particularly full cover) decreases with remoteness because incomes are lower and few private facilities exist. A greater role for private health insurance would therefore be impractical in rural and remote areas.
People in more remote areas are already paying the same rates of taxation for much less access to publicly-funded health care. Regardless of the financial situation, rural people should never have to pay more for less.
Note: evidence about the Medicare deficit and the overall primary care deficit is available here.

Police: Woman used dead grandmother's checks
Henderson Police Department officers were dispatched to a possible shoplifting at the Circle K convenience store located at 3113 U.S 41-North at 3:42 a.m. Wednesday morning and ended up arresting an Evansville woman on charges of fraudulently using checks from her deceased grandmother.
According to a police news release, Brandi M. Phillips, 33, of the 7000 block of Spry Road in Evasniville, had made several transactions using checks that did not belong to her.
The checks belonged to her grandparents and her grandmother is deceased, according to police, and Phillips did not have permission from her grandfather to use the checks.
Phillips was also served with a summons for 13 counts of theft by deception (cold checks) under $500. She was arrested on five counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument-second degree because she signed her deceased grandmother's name on five separate checks at Circle K.
Phillips was lodged at the Henderson County Detention Center and there was no bond listed as of 10 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Maculan, Family Winemakers in Breganze
For three generations the Maculan family has been selecting and vinifying the best grapes in Breganze, an enchanting village, set like a small jewel at the foot of the Alps in the Veneto region. The high plains of Asiago offer natural protection and create an extremely mild climate that favors the cultivation of vines and olives. It isn't a coincidence that in the 500s, the Venetian nobility already preferred to spend their summers in this area, sojourning in the splendid villas perfectly designed by the great architect, Andrea Palladio.
The Maculan Farm consists of 15 hectares of estate owned vineyards in the commune of Breganze. 24 additional hectares are leased within the DOC zone of Breganze. Maculan also works with other growers, managing production of up to 50 hectares in the DOC zone of Breganze.

Our projects
Among the projects of greatest social significance, AO Medintorg is pleased to mention its activities related to medicinal and nutritive support to patients with rare (orphan) diseases. One of these diseases is phenylketonuria, also known as the Felling disease. Phenylketonuria mainly affects the nervous system and is manifest as psychomotor retardation, progressive dementia, motor and muscular tone disorder. The disease is caused by a failure of vital ferment phenylalanine that ensures normal development of the central nervous system. In Russia today, none of the forms of phenylketonuria is treated with medications. The only therapy that can forestall grave symptoms of the disease is a phenylalanine-free diet. Since 2007, AO Medintorg has closely cooperated with international and Russian makers of therapeutic nutrition. Thanks to its two-way relationship with the Science Centers of Child Health of the Russian Academy of Sciences, National Institute of Pediatrics and Child Surgery, Russian Medical Academy's Institute of Nutrition, regional Medical Genetic Services, and experts in healthcare agencies, AO Medintorg participates in development and active marketing of new products in Russia and the former Soviet Union.
We are also guided by the opinions of our patients whose registry we have kept for years. Only close interaction with parents of children and adolescent patients can help us understand their true needs and allow us to make timely adjustments to the amino acid mix and expand the product range.
Today, free access to clinical nutrition is legislated as the statutory right of children under 14 years of age. AO Medintorg is actively involved in national and regional auctions that award contracts to supply clinical nutrition for Russian Federal Regions, and in tenders held throughout the former Soviet Union.
With a network of its pharmacies, close relations with distributors and web-retailers both in Moscow and in Russian regions, AO Medintorg sells amino acid mixes, clinical nutrition and medications for children and adults who suffer from rare diseases and need products of special formulation.

PRINTS & Wall Art POA
There's a lot to think about when planning a wedding. My goal is to make the photography bit as simple as possible for you. Scouting out the venue, reviewing timings, planning group photos and any special requests, we'll talk it all through and come up for a top notch plan A (and plan B just in case) I want you to be confident in me so you can relax and get lost in the whirlwind of your big day.
It's probably the first time you've organised an event quite like this so you probably have loads of questions (not all of them related to photography). Do have a read of the FAQs below but if you still want some more info or some advice at any stage of your wedding planning please do get in touch and ask.
What does all day coverage mean?
Coverage starts a few hours before the ceremony with the bride's preparations and continues all day until the evening reception, a little while after the first dance. Standard 'All Day' packages include up to 9 hours of photography. (Additional hours are charged at £150 per hour) This means your schedule doesn't need to be squeezed, and all the key parts of your day are covered. You'll receive a set of images which tell the story of your day, from the morning quiet to the evening party.
Do we need a second photographer?
The majority of my weddings are covered by one photographer and that's just fine. I'm a multi-skilled bag carrier, mum calmer, people herder, group arranger and photographer. If you are having a large wedding party, have complicated logistics, or you'd just like more alternative angles and coverage of the groom prep then you can add a second photographer to your package. I always work with other professional photographers, so if you pay this extra you won't get a student or wannabe amateur along, you get someone with the experience, skill and equipment to deliver results.
where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in Portsmouth and photograph weddings across the South, including Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex, Dorset, Wiltshire and London. I will work anywhere in the UK but if your venue is more than 60 miles away I may ask you to cover the extra mileage and maybe for overnight accommodation for long journeys. I also offer an excellent value package for weddings abroad.
Do you have back up?
Yes, I'm part of a network of professional photographers so have plenty of people to call if accident or illness prevented me from attending your wedding. I also always carry at least 2 sets of equipment on the day, have a strict back up routine for image files and am fully insured.
HOw do we book?
If you've made it this far you're hopefully quite interested so next step would be to get in touch and I can check my availability for your wedding date and we can carry on the conversation about your wedding day. When you're ready, I can send you a simple booking form and contract. All bookings are completed online, with payment of a £400 deposit to secure your date.
how do we pay?
A £400 deposit will secure your date and the remaining balance is payable 1 month before your wedding. Most couples choose to pay by bank transfer, but cheque and cash are also ok, and credit card payment can be made via paypal (subject to a small fee)
can we meet before the wedding?
It's lovely to get to know each other a bit before the day, and we'll try and plan some time to catch up and go through the finer details like timings and locations in person. Sometimes that's not always possible so we can chat on the phone, and I'm always available on email if you have any queries between booking and the day. I've been shooting weddings for over 10 years, so have visited many wedding venues in Hampshire and surrounds. Don't worry if your venue isn't one of those- it's actually rather inspiring to go somewhere new- and I'll try and visit in my own time to spot the good locations.
I would love to hear from you and if you do have any questions at all, please get in touch

text: Street photography was probably the one assignment I had the most trouble with. Even though the other assignments required me to talk to people and ask them information for my pictures and captions, just 'blending in' seemed to be just as, if not more, difficult, than going right up to people. However, I'm finding that, even though it was one of the hardest for me, once I got into it, it was the most enjoyable.

The Curse of Oak Island takes audiences deeper into the findings and theories of a myriad of historical artefacts and buried treasures that the Oak Island claims to be home to. It was a featured article that piqued the attention of the Lagina brothers and attracted them to the infamous island. Prometheus Entertainment is the production house that roped in the Lagina duo for the reality show after seeing their interest and dedication towards the island and its many mysteries. Kevin Burns, a widely popular name in the television industry is the executive producer of the show.
The show that started airing on History Canada from January 5, 2014, has completed s6 seasons so far, and it definitely looks like there is a lot more to come. Jake Beed handles the camera department for the series and features in the episodes once in a while. A major part is played by Robert Clotworthy, who does a great job of narrating every other episode in the series.
Each episode of the show gives viewers a deep insight into the different existing spots on the island as well as allows them access to several excavations that have been carried out on the island so far. A stone with an inscription on it saying 'forty feet below, two million pounds lie buried' has been recorded to be one of the biggest discoveries. Exquisite brooches from the famous Victorian era along with precious coins and other valuable materials have also been uncovered.
The Curse of Oak Island Cast: Who's in it?
In the various seasons of the Curse of Oak Island, we see the Lagina brothers, Marty and Rick, along with a number of local people who often guide them throughout their discovery and particular missions. Robert Clotworthy who is the narrator acts like a guiding light through all the discoveries for the viewers. He does an impeccable job of narration in every episode. Clatworthy is famous for his voice acting and has contributed his voice to nearly 100 films and TV programs along with video games. Gary Drayton, a man who knows his way around hunting treasure as well as Matty Blake, can be seen in a couple of episodes.
The Lagina's have been a part of the series from the very first season on History Canada. Rick, 67, and Marty, 63, have always been interested in treasure hunting. Rick's words have always been optimistic in regards to his treasure hunting, as he says, "It's important to persevere and to move forward to solve this."
Dan and Dave Blankenship, the major owners as well as permanent residents of the Oak Island, are a father-son duo who provide assistance to the Lagina brothers. "You know what they say in Nova Scotia… it ain't easy" as Dan Blankenship quotes.
The Curse of Oak Island Plot: What is it about?
In the 1700s, rumours spread like wildfire about the hidden treasure of William Kidd aka Captain Kidd, a sailor who was executed for piracy. The treasure was supposedly hidden on the Oak Island by the tarnished sailor, who quoted "where none but the Satan and myself can find it". In the late 1800s, people started excavation on a bigger scale and found out many other valuables such as manuscripts and stone inscriptions.
Brothers Marty and Rick Lagina were fascinated by the island, and all that hides underneath its surface after coming across an article in the Reader's Digest magazine from a January 1965 copy. The article features the Restalls family who were then conducting an investigative search on 'Money Pit' one of the famous spots on the island. Nolan's Cross and Smith's Cove are two other spots that are particularly famous among treasure hunters.
The Lagina brothers constant interest has led to the successful running of this series which with each episode embarks deeper into the island to uncover its mysteries. Oak Island is only one of the many small islands in Canada, spread across 140 acres. The island is privately owned by multiple parties including the Lagina brothers but its treasure hunter is Dan Blankenship who owns the major part of the island along with the newly formed Michigan group.
Marty and Rick employ their efforts to delve deeper into the history of the island, throw light on recent findings, theories, and provide insight into the previous investigations that have been conducted in the said areas with the help of conversations with independent researchers. Borehole 10-x, Nolan's Cross, the "Swamp" are some of the areas explored.
The Curse of Oak Island Season 7 Release Date: When will it premiere?
'The Curse of Oak Island' season 7 is all set to premiere on November 5, 2019. Time to get excited!
The Curse of Oak Island Trailer
Here's the trailer from one of the previous seasons of 'The Curse of Oak Island'. Head over to History to catch all the past episodes.

There's been a lot of talk in the wine blogosphere lately about the nature of wine writing and how it's changing. De vinographia or "on wine writing" has always been a category on this blog and I often post on the subject of wine writing and wine writers.
Yesterday and today, I've thought a lot about what must be the saddest form of wine writing. A few days ago, agents of the Italian Treasury Department prepared and read a statement in which they announced the findings of their investigation of winemakers in Tuscany who allegedly — and evidently — released wines "not in conformity" with appellation regulations. Italian officials called the investigation "Operazione Mixed Wine" [sic], an infelicitous title, in my opinion, evoking American Dragnet-era criminal mystery, film noir, and crime-stopping television.
Back in September of last year, I created the above "I heart Brunello" logo, which Spume aptly dubbed "Bumper Sticker Brunello." Hearting a wine is a form of wine writing, as is populating a fact sheet (technical), writing a tasting note (sensorial), rhapsodizing about a wine (panegyrical), negatively criticizing a wine (elegaical), rendering a tasting score (algebraic), or composing appellation regulations (taxonomic) or writing an indictment of a winemaker for adulteration (juridical)…
When I posted yesterday at VinoWire on the news that emerged not only from Montalcino but also from Chianti Classico, I couldn't help but think to myself that this must be the saddest form of wine writing.
We all read the news today, o boy, and the truth that emerged was there right before us the whole time: in vino veritas, Tracie B and I mused this morning sitting in her living room with our laptops and cups of coffee, as is our habit on Sunday mornings. The truth was in the wine the whole time.
It was always with a heavy heart that my friend and partner in VinoWire, Franco Ziliani, has reported the story on his excellent blog VinoalVino, beginning on Good Friday, March 21, 2008, with a post on rumors from Montalcino.
Today, I'm sure that Franco's heart is as heavy as mine. I heart Brunello: now more than ever, Brunello needs our support and love.

Today is my birthday! Also, it's snowing!
I turn 24 today. To celebrate, you can take 24% off of my patterns. Just use the coupon code "birthdaybirthday" at checkout. If you knit quickly, there's plenty of time to whip up some shark mittens before Christmas! Promotion ends midnight EST Monday 12/9 (which is Joe's birthday).
Today is my birthday! I'm 22! And my boyfriend's birthday is tomorrow. He'll be 25. To celebrate, take 23% off all pattern sales with the coupon code BIRTHDAYTIMES. Take advantage of it because the shark mittens pattern has been selling like hotcakes!
Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with a more interesting post. With pictures, even! I finished some shark mittens but then I mailed them before I could snap a photo. : ( I've been really busy with work (I've been subbing for third grade with minimal sub plans so I'm sorta playing it by ear).
So the LYS in Fredericksburg, Knitter's Cottage, is going out of business. I'm only very vaguely disappointed because it was kind of a high-end, over-priced, snooty kind of place and I mostly buy yarns and things online anyway. They've had things 20% off for a week or so, and I stopped in on Friday to check things out and see what I could find that would fit in my cheap-ass college student lack-of-budget. And score I did.
That's a half-pound cone of Brown Sheep Cotton Fine in "obscure teal" (I know; it's bizarre) with which I plan to knit some sort of tank combined with two skeins I have in "Emperor's Robe" (a blue-purpleish color that may or may not match but at least has a less bizarre name and even if it doesn't match, I'll have enough of the teal for a tank). That's also a POUND of Nature-Spun fingering weight wool. I mean, yes, it's that lurid hot (burning hot-hot-owie-hot) pink, but seeing as I'm fairly competent around a dye pot (read: I can pour kool aid or Dylon dye into a bucket of hot water) I'll be able to turn it into a more pleasing magenta or possibly mauve. I intend to make Thermal with about half of it, and then I will have half a cone of fingering weight wool in my stash. Which will be AWESOME.
I also scored this magazine for $3:
I don't crochet nearly as much as I knit, but I did learn it first and I'm pretty decent at it. I know all the stitches and can follow a pattern, at least (though I can't really read a chart/diagram properly). There are several cute cardigan pictures in it, but I mostly bought the mag on my DEEP DEEP desire to knit this:
Cute, right? Probably I'd do it in a solid color (probably still in some kind of sock yarn though–probably Knit Picks cause it's HELLA CHEAP) but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the tall buttoned waistband and the flowy skirt bit. LOVE. So that's happening for summer.
Also, I'm living in a university-owned apartment next year with my friends Sarah and Michelle. I'm considering convincing them to let me hang these in the kitchen or possibly balcony window:
What shocked me most about this, by the way (as if there's more than one thing) is that the suggested yarn is a Red Heart acrylic (I mean, not SuperSaver; they're not crazy, but still). I didn't think Interweave liked to suggest anything but $45/skein fairy fart yarn. WHO'DATHUNK.
(Also: my teal cardigan is done and blocking but I need the weather to warm up before pictures happen, so on Wednesday you get more spinning efforts.)

The basics………..Hello. My name is Shawn Morales. Owner/operator of Crosswinds Striper Guide Service. I am a licensed full-time fishing guide. I specialize in Striped Bass (stripers), White Bass (sand bass), and catfish. I am 35 years old and have been guiding full time for 6 years now. I am happily married to my beautiful wife Lindsey and we have 2 children together. My son Peyton is 11 yrs old. My daughter Ashlin is 7. Lindsey and I have been married 12 years.
How i got started……. As cliche as this sounds. I have been fishing since I was a young child. I have ALWAYS had an obsession with the sport of fishing. I would ride my bicycle a half mile down the dirt road as a child to set lines out. Catch the school bus at the pond. And have the school bus drop me off at the pond to run my lines. This passion grew as I did. The local ponds turned into the local lakes. The local lakes turned into Oklahoma's premier fishing waters. I started guiding part time striper fishing trips at Lake Texoma. Fishing on weekends and days off. It got to a point where I was never home. My family was and always will be the most important thing in my life. I had to find balance between doing what I love and being with the ones I love. So I thought it out and presented my business plan to Lindsey. The plan was to quit my job of 11 years and be a full-time Lake Texoma striper guide for a living. (try presenting that one to momma). I'll never forget the words she said while laying in bed at 1:30 AM. "Shawn. You're my husband and I love you. I trust you and I will follow you to the end of the Earth." The very next day. I put in my 2 weeks notice. They asked me if I would give 3 weeks. I did.
Now I can not say that it has been a downhill run. Starting a business. Especially a business in the fishing world during a down hill economy was very tough. I started guiding at Lake Konawa to supplement as well. It is close to home and provides a great day of fishing just about any day of the year. Konawa took off like I would have never imagined. It went from fishing mainly Texoma with a few Konawa trips. To the exact opposite. Finally it got to the point where I pulled completely off of Texoma and just guided at Konawa. Konawa was stocked with Hybrid Striped Bass in 2004 and has not had a supplemental stocking since. Most trips we would pull lots of white bass with a few nice hybrids mixed in. Then the hybrids got fewer and farther between. I found myself really missing the pull of the hybrid and so did a lot of my fishing clients. I did my research and pulled the Falcon to Sooner Lake in 2010. I spent two years chasing Hybrid Stripers and Stripers at Sooner during the spring, fall, and winter. But during the summer months. I would find myself right back at Lake Texoma. My summers would be spent on the big water with clients as a Lake Texoma striper guide.

Over four years after warning human resource professionals that agreements between competitors to fix wages or restrict solicitation of each other's employees (known as "no-poach" agreements) could result in criminal prosecution under antitrust laws, the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division (DOJ) recently issued its first indictment for a no-poach agreement. This indictment comes on the heels of the DOJ's first indictment for wage-fixing, obtained in December.
The DOJ's 2016 Guidance for Human Resources Professionals delivered a stern reminder of the antitrust risks associated with anti-competitive agreements affecting labor markets, specifically wage-fixing and no-poach agreements between competitors that are not reasonably necessary to a broader legitimate collaboration (so-called "naked" agreements to restrain competition). The DOJ warned that it intended to proceed criminally against employers that entered into agreements of this type, explaining that "[t]hese types of agreements eliminate competition in the same irredeemable way as agreements to fix product prices or allocate customers, which have traditionally been criminally investigated and prosecuted as hardcore cartel conduct." The agency, however, recognized that non-solicitation and other agreements impacting employees may be appropriate when necessary to a larger collaboration between employers, such as a joint venture for shared facilities.
The Guidance arose from a series of antitrust cases against Silicon Valley tech giants. In 2010, the DOJ sued Adobe, Apple, Google, Intel and Pixar over alleged agreements not to "cold call" each other's highly skilled employees. This, according to the DOJ, unlawfully restrained competition in the labor market. The parties entered into a settlement with the DOJ in 2011 that enjoined them from entering into agreements not to solicit, cold call, recruit or otherwise compete for employees absent specified legitimate justifications. That same year, employees of these and other companies brought a class action lawsuit on behalf of more than 64,000 employees, alleging that the companies had conspired to depress wages by refraining from poaching one another's highly skilled employees, resulting in civil settlements in the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Despite the strong warning to employers in 2016, years passed without the DOJ bringing criminal charges based on wage-fixing or no-poach agreements. That changed on Dec. 9, 2020, when the DOJ initiated its first wage-fixing prosecution and then again on Jan. 5, 2021, when it obtained its first indictment based on a no-poach agreement.
The December wage-fixing indictment was obtained against the president of a therapist staffing company, which contracted with individual physical therapists to provide in-home physical therapy (PT) services to home health agencies. The defendant allegedly conspired with other, unidentified PT staffing companies to obtain non-public rates paid to PTs. The conspiring companies allegedly used that information to enter into agreements to decrease the contracted rates they paid to PTs, and "implemented rate decreases in accordance with the agreement reached." The indictment cites a number of text messages in which the defendant invited other therapist staffing companies to "collectively" lower therapists' wages.
The January indictment alleges that outpatient medical facility Surgical Care Affiliates and its successor Scai (collectively, SCA) entered into "gentlemen's agreements" with at least two different companies not to poach each other's senior-level employees. The indictment cites numerous emails between human resource representatives and executives of SCA and the other two companies (identified only as Company A and Company B) specifically acknowledging the agreement and discussing several candidates who should not be approached or recruited because of the agreement.
That indictment alleges that the no-poach agreement was effectuated and enforced in several ways. SCA contacted recruiting agencies and instructed them not to solicit or contact senior-level employees of Companies A and B. SCA and the other companies also "monitored compliance ... by requiring senior-level employees ... who applied to the other company to notify their current employer that they were seeking other employment in order for their applications to be considered." Finally, the companies agreed to, and did, alert each other when one of their employees applied for or inquired about employment at the other.
The conduct alleged in the recent indictments involve flagrant agreements to fix wages and not solicit competitors' employees. In both cases, the DOJ obtained communications acknowledging the agreement and illustrating that the conspirators were abiding by it. Hence, the indictments confirm federal antitrust enforcers' willingness, in the right case, to pursue criminal charges for anti-competitive agreements impacting labor markets.
While it remains to be seen whether these indictments are outliers — the result of particularly egregious conduct — employers should take seriously both the criminal and civil consequences of agreements that limit competition for employees, fix wages or otherwise unreasonably restrain competition in labor markets. Companies also should consult with antitrust and employment counsel before reaching agreements with competitors that may impact wages, benefits, hiring, retention or working conditions of employees.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

When we talk about 'going into all the world…' people often respond with, 'wow you have sacrificed so much.'
I always feel embarrassed. Awkward even. How can I respond to that?
When I think of the 'sacrifice' made by the call it isn't the same as others probably think. Most people think of comforts or family. Maybe a stable job and steady income. That isn't the biggest sacrifice. When you find yourself crushed and on your knees, pouring out everything to God. When you have no strength for any other prayer but 'Thy will be done'—that is when you realise the actually the sacrifice is our own will.
Our will…My will…What I want… What I think is best.
Is that perhaps the biggest sacrifice?
I can leave all my possessions behind, I can follow Him to the ends of the earth but when it comes to it, to that moment when we need to fully submit and surrender when nothing else makes sense…yeah that's the difference between my will and thy will.
I have found myself at this place many times, just as I am sure you have too. But last year it hit me in a much bigger and deeper way than ever before. We lived in a place that many on the outside would have seen as sacrifice enough, just to be there. Not with regards to home comforts – oh we had water and electricity (most of the time). But in other ways with regards to our freedom. However all that changed within a few hours and suddenly we were praying and crying out to the One who led us to that place to allow us to stay. That we could be in our home, with our friends around us and be in a place so familiar that it was our home.
Door after door was slammed in our faces as we reapplied for paperwork that though hard to do, had always been accepted before. Each roadblock that had opened before our eyes previously, like the Red Sea parting, this time around remained closed and impossible to walk through.
As we sought His face, and as we were confused and overcome with so many sad emotions, we realised 'not my will, but yours be done' and so our prayer changed to ones that could only be prayed on our knees, looking upwards, with hands open and eyes streaming with tears. Not My will, but thy will be done Lord, thy will.'
Whatever season we are in, whether it is in the leaving our homes to go abroad for the first time, sending loved ones out to the ends of the earth, or some other part of our faith walk, the sacrifice isn't in the things, it is in our will. But ultimately I would rather say Thy Will Be Done, because truly He knows what He is doing far better than we ever will. If I need to walk through seas, or stand at road blocks, I would rather do it walking in His will, than me going off course on my own.
Sarah and her family are a unique blend of cultures, calling anywhere home that they find themselves. Her door is always open and the kettle always on for a cup of tea. She loves seeing the mountains from her home and meandering through the markets that go on for miles.

Dhu they or don't they? A study of sound production by three fish species of commercial and recreational importance in Western Australia
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
Source Title
Source Conference
Over 800 species of fish produce sound, for a variety of reasons including distress, spawning and agonistic behaviour. An increasing number of sparids have been shown to be soniferous, but while studies of glaucosomatids (pearl perches) have shown the presence of likely 'sonic' muscles confirmed reports of sound production in the wild has been elusive. In Western Australia, a project examined whether West Australian dhufish (Glaucosoma hebraicum), snapper (Pagrus auratus) and black bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri) produce sound. Recordings of dhufish, an iconic fish in Western Australia, have provided proof of sound production and some acoustic characteristics of dhufish sounds are presented. For black bream, while sounds were recorded at a known spawning location at a time of spawning, black bream could not be confirmed as the source. No confirmed evidence of sound production was found for snapper, either during spawning or upon capture. It is possible that in data-limited situations for fisheries, monitoring of sound-producing fishes using passive acoustic techniques could elucidate additional information about ecology, reproductive behaviour and relative abundance.

The Great Barrier Reef: News media, policy and the politics of protection
Foxwell-Norton, K and Konkes, C, The Great Barrier Reef: News media, policy and the politics of protection, International Communication Gazette, 81, (3) pp. 211-234. ISSN 1748-0485 (2019) [Refereed Article]

Since the 1970s, the Reef has been a site where Australian environmental policy has flourished, mirroring global environmental policy seeking to balance human activity through ecologically sustainable development. The article examines the parallel and intersecting processes of modern environmental policy and news media practice in the context of the Reef to unveil how Australias news media are communicating critical moments in the protection of the Reef. Through two key conservation moments the 1981 World Heritage Listing and the 2012 threat to place the Reef on the List of World Heritage in Danger the article examines the role of news media in different geographic contexts, highlighting the complex politics of protection from early conservation campaigns to the contemporary era of protecting the Reef in the context of global environmental crisis. We identify how ecologically sustainable development discourses can be used to communicate positions that challenge and discredit policy initiatives aimed at protecting natural environments.

THE DISTURBING FOOTAGE seen throughout the world of George Floyd laying face down on the pavement with a white police officer kneeling on his knee has sparked a global outrage. Unfortunately, police brutality and racial profiling perpetrated against African-Americans and minorities alike isn't a new phenomenon, however, with the usage of cellphone cameras we can now record in real time the abuse of power taking place on a regular basis in underserved communities, where black men are 50xs more likely to be shot and killed by police than their white counterparts.
Although they have made three new arrests in the case, many say that reaching a guilty verdict for Mr. Floyd isn't going to be a slam dunk. History has shown that police officers are often found "Not Guilty" by jury; in spite of having strong evidence to convict. Just look at the Rodney King case played out in Los Angeles, where several police officers were seen brutally beating him, but later to be acquitted of all charges. Sadly, we have witnessed time and time again police officers being let off the hook with very little or no accountability when in fact no one should be above the law!! But the enormous rally cry for juctice in the George Floyd's case appear to have gained unparallel momentum around the world as black and white protesters band together in staggering numbers. It is imperative that we stand together in order to have peace together.
If you're one to take offense to the notion that Black Lives Matter, then you need to take the time to educate yourself about racial disparities. In God's eyes, ALL LIVES MATTER, because all lives were created by the same Creator and therefore have equal value and inalienable rights. Nonetheless, if you're a white person, whether you know it or not, you have benefited from white privilege in some way, shape or form. Blacks, on the other hand, have been discriminated against since our forefathers who were brought across the Atlantic ocean to America on slave ships to be the burden bearers of this country. No life should be placed above another, however, due to the four hundred plus years of Blacks being marginized by their white slave masters and victimized under the notion of White Supremacy, there's quite naturally a greater urgency to reinforce our black value here on this planet Earth. Since slavery was so-called abolished on the books, it doesn't mean that it has been utterly eradicated in the hearts and minds of the people in power who continue to implement laws and policies that invidiously target minority groups through legislation.
Lest we forget that it was just as early as fifty years ago when Blacks were discriminated against by Whites blatantly in public. At that time you couldn't use the public restroom or water fountain without noticing the big, bold signs that read above it: WHITES ONLY and COLORED HERE! as if we were infected with the bubonic plague! It's been an ongoing struggle to have equal rights and opportunities in this country to this very day. Prior to the victory of Brown v. Board of Education, we had to fight to even be integrated in the same publicly-funded schools with white students to obtain a basic education while being harassed, criticized, spit on and physically attacked by white students as well as local policemen who arrived to enforce discriminatory laws against us.
The psychological damage caused by 400 years of slavery is merely inconceivable. The effects itself can range anywhere from self-hate to low self-esteem after buying into the hype and lies that were perpetuated on a large scale. Even today, most Blacks suffer from what I call "The Tarzan Effect" after being exposed for so long to a jungle-like environment that tends to reinforce animalistic behavior and savagery. At some point, your subconscious accepts it, as you begin acting the part without even knowing you're playing the part. This further explain why most young black males are far more likely to be assigned to a prison cell by age 23; oppose to a college dormitory in room 23! Think about that. Due to mass discrimination we have to fight five times as hard to be recognized and respected as U.S. citizens by establishing certain organizations such as: the Civil Rights Movement, the National Association for the Advancement of Color People (NAACP), Affirmative Action, and today the Black Lives Matter Movement to push against inequality, and injustice, as we march and shout through the streets "No Justice! No Peace." repeatedly.
How can we live in the so-called greatest country on Earth, yet we're faced with antiquated viruses known simply as racism, oppression, and racial profiling each and every day on this soil? What is it about having Black skin that makes us a target? Why are Black men often times looked upon as a threat; or otherwise, prompt a sense of fear in our white counterparts, particularly in those of whom have sworn to Serve And Protect us? Although for many, this is an uncomfortable topic, but we must all ask ourselves these fundamental questions, if we as Americans, are to rid America of these racial biases and discover practical solutions that can implement fundamental change for a better America. At the end of the day, we're all human beings who deserves human decency, equal protection, and socioeconomic opportunity.
In the words of MLK: "An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere!" So, let's all stand collectively to change racial laws and policies that continue to promote racism, bigotry, and of course hate!

Nollywood actor, Saint Obi is reportedly working as a media consultant for President Goodluck Jonathan.
He is currently planning "ingenious" strategies for the president's re-election in 2015, Daily Times NG reports.
"Despite the security challenges in the country, which will certainly end very soon, no Nigerian President had performed better than President Goodluck Jonathan in terms of first 3 years as President. This is a fact, not the falsehood circulated by 2015 power seeking propagandists…" he reportedly said.
Obi is rumoured to have recently purchased a bullet proof 2014 G65 AGM Mercedes Benz worth N46million. Many are said to have questioned his ability to buy such an extravagant vehicle, seeing as he hasn't acted in movies in a long time, reports state. Some attribute his alleged new found wealth to his new position.

A week before Russia's Daldykan river was turned red by a leak from a metals plant, the UN issued a warning as chilling as it was overlooked: 323 million people are at risk from life-threatening diseases caused by the pollution of rivers and lakes.
Cholera, typhoid and other deadly pathogens are increasing in more than half of the rivers in Africa, Asia and Latin America, according to a UN environment programme (Unep) report. Salinity levels have also risen in nearly a third of waterways.
Asia has been worst hit, with up to 50% of all rivers now affected by severe pathogen pollution caused by a cocktail of untreated waste water disposal, agricultural pesticides run-off and industrial pollution.
In a telling footnote to the Russian Norilsk disaster, Nasa released satellite images on 15 September showing that far from being a one-off, the Daldykan river had turned red on multiple occasions in the past 20 years.
"There is often no incentive for companies and players high up in a river basin not to pollute," says Paul Reig, an associate for the World Resources Institute. "The impacts are often not noticed until they are carried to water users downstream, especially when there are no regulatory requirements and no implementation or monitoring of water quality downstream to track it back."
Global water demand from the manufacturing industry is projected to increase 400% by 2050, adding to pressure on river networks.
Reig argues that increased regulatory action is vital to tackle the 80% of waste water worldwide that is returned to rivers untreated. Incentives to recycle waste water are also needed to stimulate market demand for clean water technologies, he says.
But farming and raw sewage discharges also share responsibility for the 2m tonnes of untreated waste water that gushes into the world's water supplies daily.
While industry, particularly in the developed world, is constrained by laws such as the EU's water framework waste directive, pesticides and fertilisers can easily slide into water bodies unnoticed.
"The regulation of pollutants in agriculture is much less stringent, compared to industry and municipal waste water," says Dietrich Borchardt, the lead author of the latest Unep report.
Borchardt points to the clean up of the river Rhine, which was one of the most heavily polluted rivers in the world, as well as effective waste water strategies by companies such as BASF and Bayer as examples of what can be done.
Regulation is pushing businesses across sectors to reduce their water footprint and environmental impact. The Japanese car company Toyota produces cars in China to a higher environmental standard than at home, he argues. And "no mining company is killing thousands of people in accidents. They would lose their licence and existence if they did. It is in their very basic interest not to," Borchardt says.
There is also a strong public interest involved. An estimated 3.4 million people die each year from diseases associated with water-borne pathogens, nearly half of them children under five.
In the scheme of things, that awful statistic belies another: around 1.2 billion of the world's people face water scarcity.
With water sources dwindling – Unesco predicts a 40% shortfall in supplies by 2030 – the global population spiralling towards 9 billion and water demand projected to increase exponentially, water management is becoming a vital issue for the 21st century.
Novel nature-based solutions that are cheaper and more effective than hi-tech approaches are gaining interest.
"These can involve leaving rivers intact from channelling, construction work or irrigation that disturbs their natural attenuation capacities," Borchardt said. "A natural environment can degrade pollutants. Other solutions, especially in agriculture, can involve the preservation and construction of wetlands which are particularly efficient at removing nutrients from water."
Paludiculture – which can be as simple as as planting water reeds to absorb excess nutrients from water bodies – is a win-win for environmentalists, maintaining a robust carbon sink and threatened peatlands in countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.
Tackling waste water discharges at source is seen as a crucial first step, to avoid the devastating environmental damage that spillages can cause and the sky-rocketing costs of clean-up operations.
Reig said the "best interventions" to prevent water contamination were legal tools: "The drivers of untreated waste water discharges are poor governance of resources and water quality standards that are often non-existent (in the developing world) and not enforced, if they are there."
Unep, though, puts greater emphasis on increased monitoring of water balances – knowing how much water there is, where is comes from and where pollutants travel from and to – to counter the scarcity of basic information about the inputs and outputs for waste water discharges into vulnerable water resources.
Borchardt said industry should be seen as a potential ally in the prevention of river pollution. "Business is a part of the solution and must be, because their products will find it more and more difficult to be sold on a huge global scale when there is a huge environmental bill attached," he said.

Cebollitas Asadas (Grilled Green Onions)
Once when vacationing in Mexico I ordered a chicken dish that came in a lovely lava bowl with fabulous green onions cascading over the side. I've yet to be able to duplicate them. This recipe we borrowed seems to come closest. They are so good with everything.
These Cebollitas Asadas (Grilled Green Onions) are soft, fragrant, sweet, and caramelized with a salty, buttery, and tangy flavor that is absolutely to die for. They are a Latin staple when it comes to grilling! Try this simple recipe and find your new favorite cookout side.
With summer in full swing you simply have to make cebollitas asadas. When grilled, these green spring onions take on a flavor that compliments any grilled dish, especially carne asada, tampiqueña steak, or fajitas.
With just five ingredients, they're foolproof. They also take about 12 minutes on the grill to get that lovely, soft texture, meaning they are a great pair for cooking with chicken, steak, or pork. Everything cooks in the same time!
Once they are made, add them whole to tacos or burritos, or serve them as a side for a perfectly cooked piece of fish, chicken, or steak. They also hold up well, making them a great simple side to bring to your next summer potluck.
Preheat grill. Place onions on a large sheet of foil with butter and drizzle of soy sauce (or Maggi) and fresh lime juice. Seal onions securely in the foil. To do this, lay the onions in the middle of the foil sheet, and fold in each side of the foil. Do the same with the remaining two sides. Wrap the foil around the onions like a present.
Grill onions or scallions on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over the grill, 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove from foil and place directly on the grill (across the rungs) and grill on medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until softened and lightly charred.
TIP: No grill? This recipe can also be made in the broiler about 3 inches from heat for 10 to 12 minutes. After the initial cook time, open the foil and continue to broil for 1 to 2 minutes more until your desired level of char is achieved.
Transfer onions or scallions to a platter and sprinkle with salt and garnish with more lime juice, if desired.
What kind of onions do I need to buy to make cebollitas asadas?
I prefer to use hearty spring onions that can be purchased at a farmers market or from a Latin grocery store. They are much bigger and more flavorful, but are not easily accessible at all stores. If you can't find them, regular scallions work just as well.

Friday, December 24 – Africa
Students at a local ministry's school recently commented on how much the instruction has helped them and their families; their Muslim parents are also impressed at the subject knowledge and life training they are receiving. This is one way the ministry is gaining platforms to share about eternal life in Christ. Workers are also reaching people with the gospel through digital media, phone conversations and film screenings, along with home visits and Bible studies. Donations are sought for the tools and means to form biblically grounded disciples of Christ. Pray that church plants would grow in their missionary vision.

Meet Adam Read: Curator of playlists at Deezer UK
Share This Article:
Adam Read, UK & Ireland Music Editor for streaming service Deezer, has the dream job.
A recent graduate, Adam started his career path with all signs pointing to a job in a bank, but a few years later, has landed at international streaming service Deezer. We fired the all-important questions Adam's way and asked for some hot tips on getting paid to make playlists.
Adam Read, UK & Ireland Music Editor at DeezerTNS: What university did you go to, and what did you study? Adam: I studied Economics & Finance at the University of Surrey, so I started away from the music space. However, I've always been hugely passionate about the music industry and spent a lot of time presenting for the student radio station. TNS: What drew you to a career in music? What inspired your passion for music?
A: Growing up, my friends' music tastes were all so different, from grime to indie & alternative, to dance - we used to create playlists on our MP3 players and share them with each other, so even back then I was curating music! My time at student radio definitely increased my passion and I learnt how to craft a show's musical output. A year later, I volunteered to be the station's Head Of Music, so I had to teach myself how to use music scheduling software. Controlling a station's musical output and playlists, helping to introduce people to their new favourite songs and artists - it gave me a massive buzz and from then I knew
A: After graduation, I wanted to combine my degree with my love of music so I joined the business team at an independent label and gained valuable experience. Six months later, a friend recommended a role with MTV as Junior Music Editor. I got the job and stayed there for four years - it was an incredible experience to curate playlists for the channels I watched as a kid. On the side, I also worked as a producer on BBC Music Introducing In Kent. It was fantastic to be able to hear artists at the earliest stages of their careers and provide that initial stepping stone. I've been with Deezer for just over six months and it's been great to get involved in the most exciting part of the music industry - streaming! TNS: Tell us a bit about your day to day as UK & Ireland Music Editor. What does your role entail?

A: One of the most important lessons I learnt when I was at university, was that it's equally important to learn what you do NOT want to do, as much as what you do want to. I did a placement year at a large global bank as part of my degree, and despite it being very interesting to see what I learnt at university applied to the real world, I realised it wasn't the right career for me. Don't be scared of trying different career paths, as it will help you narrow down what you really want to do.
