VACCA's Response to Victorian Government State Budget 2020/21
25 Nov 2020 4:16 pm AEST Date Time
Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency
We at VACCA work tirelessly to ensure Victoria is a fairer place for Aboriginal children and families. We commend the Victorian Government for their commitment towards and investment in the Aboriginal community in the 2020/21 State budget.
This budget acknowledges that when Government invests in Aboriginal communities and organisations to be empowered, make decisions and lead service delivery for their own communities, better outcomes for Aboriginal children, young people, families, women and men are achieved.
Victoria leads the way in supporting and strengthening self-determination to improve the lives of Aboriginal people across all spheres of life. VACCA will continue to work with Government to ensure the voice of Aboriginal children and families are reflected in the actions arising from this Budget.
Progressing Treaty
The $20.2 million commitment to support the ongoing journey to Treaty with the First People of this land is a significant step forward. This will support the First Peoples' Assembly of Victoria to continue progressing towards Treaty and ensure community voice is central to this process.
Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme
We are pleased to see that the Victorian Government has adopted our recommendation to invest in Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme. VACCA CEO Adjunct Professor Muriel Bamblett AO says, "A Stolen Generations Reparations Scheme is important in supporting the healing of survivors who continue to feel the profound impacts of being removed from family, culture and Country today".
VACCA is a leader in providing culturally appropriate family violence therapeutic work with all family members affected by family violence. Our CEO, Professor Muriel Bamblett says, "Our approach to family violence helps the whole family to heal, reconnect and keep children and women safe." The $238million commitment in the budget to continue implementing the Family Violence Royal Commission recommendations with a focus on multiagency information sharing and perpetrator accountability programs is welcomed.
VACCA will also continue working with Government to ensure Aboriginal adolescents and men who use violence in the home are provided with holistic, intensive services to support them address underlying issues leading to these behaviours, and to heal the family. Our intensive support approach supports and strengthens families to stay together, reunify and is linked to less family relocations and relieves pressure on crisis accommodation and refuges.
The funding for the two new dedicated Aboriginal Family Violence refuges with enhanced case management capabilities will be highly valued in the community. Through our Orana Gunyah program servicing Gippsland, Latrobe Valley, Baw Baw, South Gippsland and Bass Coast, we know that when access to an Aboriginal specific, culturally appropriate and wrap-around response is available Aboriginal women and children feel more confident, safer and supported to seek assistance and allows Aboriginal women to see a positive future for themselves and their children.
As we emerge from COVID-19, VACCA will continue working with the government to ensure all family violence interventions and services in Victoria are culturally safe for Aboriginal women and their children.
Aboriginal children and young people who grow up strong in culture and are supported by their kin and community thrive and have improved future life paths. Aboriginal community-control of child welfare services is critical to reducing the overrepresentation of Aboriginal children and young people in care. VACCA welcomes the $74.1 million to reform out-of-home care services ensuring Aboriginal family case management control is in the hands of ACCOs.
VACCA's Nugel program, has led the way in developing a new model of child protection practice which is premised on Aboriginal organisations working in partnership with Aboriginal families to achieve better outcomes for Aboriginal children and young people. Our CEO, Professor Muriel Bamblett reflects on the impact of Nugel that "our children will know who they are and where they belong. They will take pride in their cultural identity and will grow up strong and resilient".
VACCA is pleased that the Government has implemented our recommendations for additional leaving care supports and extended care, providing funding of $64.7 million over the next four years for the Home Stretch program as a part of the funding to reform out-of-home care services. This will provide young people in care with the necessary supports to empower them to transition to independence until their 21st birthday. Young people leaving care particularly need access to safe and secure housing to ensure they do not end up in the homelessness or youth justice system.
We acknowledge the Government's investment in social housing in the coming years and how valuable this will be to the Aboriginal community, especially young people and families. VACCA will continue working with Government to implement the Victorian Aboriginal Housing and Homelessness Framework (link) and to ensure that their investment in Aboriginal social housing supports young people leaving care to safe and secure accommodation.
The additional funding for the Better Futures program of $10.3 million will provide young people in care with tailored supports, including education and employment advice, and life-skills coaching helping them to prepare for life after care. The Aboriginal community values education. The commitment of a further $7.5 million or 2 years funding to support the Murrung Aboriginal Education Plan and the investment in tutors will go a long way to ensure that Aboriginal kids receive fair and equal access to education and help us close the education gap. We will continue advocating for dedicated funding for more support for Aboriginal children and families in their school transitions and school attendance so that they can come out of COVID stronger.
COVID-19 posed challenges and opportunities for our children and young people to maintain engaged in education. Some of our children thrived with the support of VACCA staff distributing education packs and resources and others struggled keeping engaged with their schooling. We welcome the State Government's $10 million plan to recruit 4,100 tutors and hope to work with Government to ensure Aboriginal children and young people receive culturally safe tutoring supports.
Supporting families who are under pressure or in crisis with the tools they need to support their children is essential for families to stay together and reduce the number of Aboriginal children in out of home care. We welcome the $90.2 million for Targeted Care Packages and will continue working with Government to ensure that ACCOs receive funding proportionate to the overrepresentation of Aboriginal children in care. All Aboriginal children, young people, their families and carers must receive tailored and individual supports to meet their specific needs.
A particular focus of VACCA's advocacy is the urgent need for additional resources to be dedicated to early help, prevention and early intervention. Culturally based services that support the social and emotional wellbeing and safety of children, young people and families can reduce the need for out-of-home care. VACCA welcomes funding of $85.8 million for intensive family restoration and preservation supporting Aboriginal children and families to stay together.
We commend the Government's investment in smaller two and three bedroom Residential Care units, but this is only part of the solution. VACCA has developed Aboriginal models of residential care that focus on healing, engagement and connection with family, community and culture and supporting children and young people's education and development. VACCA calls upon the State Government to partner with the Aboriginal community controlled organisations to develop and fund local Aboriginal residential care facilities and programs to meet the best interests of Aboriginal children in care so they are safe, connected to culture and their siblings.
We at VACCA strongly believe in providing culturally therapeutic, trauma-informed youth justice programs delivered by ACCOs which holistically support children and their families. Programs that connect Aboriginal children and young people to culture, family and community allow for healing, address the impacts of trauma and support positive social and emotional wellbeing as key to preventing offending behaviour and recidivism, and reduce overrepresentation of Aboriginal young people in the Youth Justice system.
Investment in more effective, culturally safe and trauma-informed alternatives to the current justice system for Aboriginal children and young people is needed and we welcome the $1.5 million in the first year, with recurrent funding for 4 years, for Aboriginal Community-led youth justice responses. Youth justice responses must be co-designed with the voice of Aboriginal children and young people as central to the process and ACCOs are well placed to lead this work.
Aboriginal children and young people belong in community, not in prison. We seek commitment from the State Government to raise the age of criminal responsibility, as part of the development of new Youth Justice legislation. The minimum age of criminal responsibility at 10 years is a key driver of the high rates of Aboriginal children coming into contact with Police and the justice system. By criminalising Aboriginal children, responsibility and resources are diverted into the justice system rather than being available for the cultural and wellbeing support required to appropriately respond to their needs.
Throughout the pandemic, Aboriginal communities and the Government have worked in close partnership, with the COVID-19 Aboriginal Community Taskforce delivering community-led support for Aboriginal people.
The ACCO sector knows best how to support Aboriginal children, young people and families and it is critical that they are adequately funded to provide direct support and assistance during the 'transition' into recovery. We are pleased that the State Government has invested $22.6 million for the Aboriginal community to lead COVID-19 recovery.
COVID-19 has placed increased pressure on the ACCCO system workforce capability and capacity which is already experiencing high demand due to Aboriginal population growth. "VACCA will be working to ensure that other announced measures, such as the investment to create 500 new jobs across mental health, family violence, health and child protection and the training pathways and internships are made available to Aboriginal people, particularly young people. We need to bring every available resource to the task of recovery" said Muriel Bamblett.
As the Aboriginal population in Victoria is growing rapidly and will increase by up to 48% by the year 2028, budget funding and investment must increase in line with population growth. This budget is a significant investment in Aboriginal communities and organisations and in putting people first.

Call the Quitline 13 7848 or visit the Quit website if you want to quit smoking or want to help someone else to quit.
Learn more about how the heart works.
Smoking also increases the stiffness of the blood vessels making it harder for them to expand and contract as needed and more likely to split. These changes to the arteries can cause a heart attack, stroke or angina.
Discover what happens during a heart attack.
Smokers not only have more heart attacks, strokes and angina than non-smokers, but also at a much younger age.
Four times more likely to die of heart disease (i.e. heart attack and stroke) and three times more likely to die from sudden cardiac death.
Second-hand smoke can cause heart disease in non-smokers. Breathing in second-hand smoke damages your arteries. Platelets in your blood can get sticky and may form clots, just like in a person who smokes.
If you already have heart disease, you are at greater risk from exposure to second-hand smoke than people who don't.
If you are a smoker and are ready to quit, thinking about quitting, or want to help someone else to quit, talk to your doctor or health practitioner about giving up smoking.
Or call the Quitline on 13 7848 or visit the Quit website.
Many people slip up after they quit and start smoking again.
Don't see this as a failure. Instead, think about what made you smoke again. How can you deal with this situation next time?
What worked and what didn't work? Learn from this and try quitting again. You become better at quitting each time you try.
Learn more about heart attack recovery, including information on what happened to your heart, heart attack treatment and how you can recover sooner.
One year after quitting, your risk of a heart attack or stroke is reduced by half. In 5 to 15 years, your risk of stroke and coronary heart disease returns to that of someone who has never smoked.
Use the quit smoking action plan designed to help heart attack survivors.
We do not support the use of e-cigarettes. Research on their safety indicates there are risks for heart health and the effectiveness of e-cigarettes in helping people to quit smoking has not been proven.
Having a plan makes quitting easier. Use this action plan designed for heart attack survivors to help you.


Steve commenced employment as a Trainee Chartered Surveyor with Maynard & Co. In 1975 he attended Bristol Polytechnic (now The University of West England) and was awarded a Bachelor of Science Degree in Valuation and Estate Management enabling him to qualify as a Chartered Surveyor with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
Steve further qualified, thereafter, as a Fellow of the former Incorporated Society of Valuers and Auctioneers, and Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 1998. His most recent qualification is as an RICS Registered Valuer.
Steve's career progression continued from Maynard & Co. when this company was acquired by Prudential Property Services, for whom he became an Area Director for Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and East Staffordshire before deciding to leave the 'corporate world' and opened a Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agency in Derby in 1989 as Harpur Gadsby, who then merged to become Gadsby Orridge, and more latterly as Gadsby Nichols.
Therefore, needless to say, Steve has had an intimate knowledge of the Derby Residential Market for over thirty-five years and nowadays specialises in Residential Estate Agency, Land and New Homes, and Valuation.
The Residential Estate Agency department has been retained by a considerable number of local Solicitors for professional valuations, sales, and probate etc., and prides itself on a considerable amount of repeat business from former clients.
Steve Gadsby has also been retained, over many years, by a considerable number of local and national Developers for marketing and valuation advice on a number of residential developments in the area.


I miss being able to find the list of forums to see what are current topics/recent posts. The home page seems more static and less dynamic since it looks the same. Am I missing something?

On a more serious note, Brooks wrote: "What strikes me about the anachronistic attitudes of evangelicals and their Republican puppets to abortion, contraception, family planning, female economic empowerment and feminism in general, is just how unambiguously male these attitudes are.
"An entire political party in one of the most advanced and educated countries on earth has become a caricature of the most basal evolved insecurities about masculinity. They seem terrified of losing control over the means of reproduction and petrified of cuckoldry," he said.


In an exciting new collaboration, Edward's Boys have taken part in a BBC Four documentary on the shocking true story of children kidnapped from the streets of Elizabethan London to perform on the stage.
The documentary sheds light on the gripping tale of a child abducted from the streets of Elizabethan London, and how his father fought to get him back. Presented by acclaimed children's author and academic, Katherine Rundell, this intriguing tale is set behind the scenes in the golden age of Shakespeare, and provides a glimpse into the lives of children long before they were thought to have rights.
The snatching of Thomas Clifton had been organised by a theatrical impresario who intended to put him on the stage as part of a company of child actors who were enormously popular with the Elizabethan theatre-going public. He wasn't the only boy lifted from the streets for this purpose; a whole host of others suffered a similar ordeal. It was a practice known as impressment – forced recruitment into public service – which meant that a child could be legally taken without his parents' or his own consent.
The programme was filmed on location in London, including at Shakespeare's Globe and the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, and in locations closer to the home of Edward's Boys – namely KES's Guild Hall.
Edward's Boys appear in several scenes and perform excerpts from their recent work, as well as providing thoughtful contributions which draw on their own unique experience as boys' company actors. Although Perry Mills's recruiting methods differ somewhat from the forced abduction on which the documentary is based, Edward's Boys provide a rare insight into the life of fledgling adolescent actors performing in often incendiary, politically charged plays.
Abducted – Elizabeth I's Child Actors will be aired on Monday 6th of August at 9pm on BBC Four.
With thanks to Wingspan Productions.

Rio de Oro (z hiszpańskiego: Złota Rzeka) – region geograficzny, część Sahary Zachodniej pomiędzy 23 i 24 równoleżnikiem o powierzchni około 184 tysięcy km². W latach 1969–1975 jedna z dwóch prowincji składających się na hiszpańską kolonię Sahara Hiszpańska (druga to Sakija al-Hamra).

Od 1979 część terytorium jest okupowana przez Maroko.

Nazwa pochodzi od istniejącej tam niegdyś rzeki, obecnie wyschniętej doliny Wadi az-Zahab (), przebiegającej częściowo również na terytorium Mauretanii. Nazwę tę nadali rzece w XV wieku Portugalczycy (jako Rio do Ouro), którzy wymieniali tu swoje towary na złoto pochodzące z Mali i uważali, że można ten kruszec znaleźć w tym regionie. W rzeczywistości jednak złoto odnaleziono znacznie dalej na południe – dopiero w okolicach dzisiejszego Akdżawadżatu w Mauretanii oraz na ziemiach ludu Wangara na południe od Nigru.

Region zamieszkują głównie muzułmanie, działa niepodległościowy Front Polisario.

Ranked: How Much Do the Real Housewives Make per Season?
Posted by Amber Dowling June 12, 2019
They bring the drama, angst, and all-around entertainment, but what the Real Housewives actually make salary-wise really varies. Here we've rounded out some of the top earners across all of the franchises.
10. Erika Girardi, $500K per season
A $500,000 per season salary is certainly nothing to shake a finger at, but for RHOBH star Erika Jayne, it sounds like it may be necessary in terms of maintaining her cushy lifestyle. She recently confirmed that she spends roughly $40,000 per month on hair, makeup and clothing, which helps explain why she always looks so good.
RELATED: Erika Jayne's early red carpet looks.
9. Ramona Singer, $500 000 per season
The longtime RHONY cast member has seen many successful pursuits over her career thanks to her own jewelry line, skin care products, and branded wine. However when it comes to the series it's been reported that she pulls in a cool $500,000 per season. Not too shabby.
8. Vicki Gunvalson, $750K per season
When you've been at something for a while, odds are you're raking in some pretty good cash for it, right? That statement is accurate when it comes to original Housewives Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge, who reportedly made a respective $750,000 and $600,000 per season in 2017. So how do those salaries stack up against newer cast member Kelly Dodd? Wildly. Dodd supposedly only made $150,000 for her second season on the show.

7. Denise Richards, $1 million per season
How do you attract a famous celebrity with big hair to the RHOBH? With an equally big salary, of course. Reports place Denise at making $1 million per season during her four-season contract with the series, which seems like a nice little payday for the newlywed.
RELATED: All of Denise Richards' famous exes.
6. Lisa Vanderpump,$1 million per season
The RHOBH original cast member may be the most successful in her other pursuits thanks to her spinoff series and myriad of restaurants. So perhaps it was inherent negotiation skills that landed her a reported $1 million per season contract, considering her costars supposedly make much less than that. Lisa Rinna is said to have made $450,000 for her first season, while Kim Richards reportedly only made $100,000 per season (before taxes!) when she was on the series. As for her sister, Kyle Richards? She fares a little better at a reported $270,000 per season.
5. Teresa Guidice, $1 million per season
The table-flipping RHONJ star has become synonymous with her series, which means we're not surprised by her reported $1 million per season salary. (Here's hoping she's learned to pay taxes on it.) Meanwhile, her co-stars aren't exactly slumming it—Teresa's sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, supposedly makes $750,000 per season, as does Jacqueline Laurita.
RELATED: Teresa and Joe Giudice Legal Updates.
4. Luann de Lesseps, $1 million per season
There's nothing quite like a good old-fashioned salary feud, which RHONY has seen its fair share of. When Bethenny returned with a higher payday, her co-stars—including longtime rival Luann—reportedly went on strike until their salaries were also increased. Now it's believed that the former Countess is raking in close to $1 million per season.
RELATED: Luann de Lesseps Update: Everything We Know About Her Arrest and Trial.
3. Bethenny Frankel, $1.5 million per season
In the first season of RHONY, Bethenny revealed she only pulled in $7,250 for the entire season, which is certainly not enough to live off of. Good thing she worked a clause into her contract that stipulated she got to keep 100 per cent of any side businesses—aka Skinnygirl Cocktails—that she launched while on the show. We'd say she got quite the raise then, when in 2016 it was reported that she made $1.5 million per season for doing the series.
2. Kandi Burruss, $2.2 million per season
The most recent, dramatic season of RHOA apparently really pleased the powers that be, because many of the women reportedly received raises. That includes Kandi, whose salary is said to have jumped from $2 million to $2.2 million per season. Meanwhile, her co-star Porsha Williams saw her salary increase from $800,000 to $1.25 million. That's slightly less than Cynthia Bailey's $1.75 million payday, but more than the $250,000 that newest cast members Eva Marcille and Shamari DeVoe supposedly pulled in.
1. Nene Leakes, $2.75 million per season
Remember when Ryan Murphy became obsessed with NeNe and cast her in some of his TV shows, like Glee and The New Normal? That newfound fame helped her negotiate the first $1 million salary of all the Housewives when she returned to RHOA in season six. Now it's been reported that she's doubled that, and is pulling in as much as $2.75 million per season. Yowza.

Foreign Safe Asset Demand and the Dollar Exchange Rate, Journal of Finance
We develop a theory that links foreign investors' demand for the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds to the value of the dollar in spot markets. An increase in the convenience yield that foreign investors derive from holding U.S. Treasury?s induces an immediate appreciation of the US dollar and, going forward, lowers the expected return to a foreign investor from owning Treasury bonds. Under our theory, we show that the foreign convenience yield can be measured by the 'Treasury basis,' defined as the wedge between the yield on foreign government bonds and the currency-hedged yield on U.S. Treasury bonds. We measure the convenience yield using data from a cross-country panel going back to 1988 and the US/UK cross going back to 1970. In both datasets, regression evidence strongly supports the theory. Our results help to resolve the exchange rate disconnect puzzle: The Treasury basis variation accounts for up to 41% of the quarterly variation in the dollar. Our results also provide support for recent theories which ascribe a special role to the U.S. as a provider of world safe assets.

Paint colors remain an issue. Original colors are no longer made; original samples, if found, have faded.
Finding and matching early Lancia paint colors is quite difficult. There is information on what colors were used, but typically Max Meyer numbers are given. I know of no conversion chart for them to current paints.
Lechler (Europe) made a major committment in the early 1990's to convert vintage paint colors to current numbers, and they maintain a pretty current listing. Their list from early 1990 is on this blog, dated 5.2/06.
Unfortunately, Lechler is not represented in the US, and thus for the American, this is of little help (except for the friendly European, who sent paint swatches to me – thanks again!).
Glasurit and PPG are much more common in the US. In 1990, Glasurit paint chip books had a section on Lancia and listed paint codes back to 1968, thus of use to US Lanciste. The first page (of eleven) is shown above – but rather than rely on scans for colors, one should use the name and number and have the paint made up – and see if you like it.
There is a catch tho – some of the paints have slightly different formulas for different years! There are multiple listings for: blu Lancia, amaranto, beige mirabello and rosso corsa. Still, one can work from this number list and make pretty good progress.
Thanks to Ed Levin (Fulvia, Los Angeles) for this information.

The Modern Superhero in Film and Television
Popular Genre and American Culture
Jeffrey A. Brown
Published December 12, 2019 by Routledge
190 Pages 27 B/W Illustrations
The Modern Superhero in Film and Television: Popular Genre and American Culture
Hollywood's live-action superhero films currently dominate the worldwide box-office, with the characters enjoying more notoriety through their feature film and television depictions than they have ever before. This book argues that this immense popularity reveals deep cultural concerns about politics, gender, ethnicity, patriotism and consumerism after the events of 9/11. Superheroes have long been agents of hegemony, fighting for abstract ideals of justice while overall perpetuating the American status quo. Yet at the same time, the book explores how the genre has also been utilized to question and critique these dominant cultural assumptions.
Introduction: The Live Action Superhero Genre
1. Hollywood Superheroes: Commercial Economy, Spectacle and the Universe
2. Supermen and Wonder Women: Gender Ideals and Live-Action Superheroes
3. Superheroes Rewriting 9/11 and Remasculinizing America
4. America, Nostalgia and Exceptionalism
5. Diversity and Marginalization
6. Spoofs, Parody and Camp
Conclusion: Superhero Fatigue?
Jeffrey A. Brown is a professor in the Department of Popular Culture at Bowling Green State University, USA. He is the author of Black Superheroes: Milestone Comics and Their Fans, Dangerous Curves: Action Heroines, Gender, Fetishism, and Popular Culture, and Beyond Bombshells: The New Action Heroine in Popular Culture.
"Brown's careful analysis and self-reflexivity make this an engaging read for those passionate not only about comic books, but also comic book movies. The Modern Superhero in Film and Television is essential for anyone interested in learning more about the modern superhero in mainstream filmic culture." --Danielle Alexis Orozco, The Ohio State University

A Java ArrayList is a general-purpose resizeable array. It provides most of the facilities generally expected of arrays in other languages. These include: accessing elements using an index, adding, removing and updating elements, dynamic re-sizing, iterating over the elements, etc. Most of these operations have been specially tweaked for general purpose usage.
LinkedList supports fast insertion and removal at intermediate indices.
Vector is similar to an ArrayList but is synchronized and is suitable in place of an ArrayList for multi-threaded applications.
Stack supports operations for mimicking a last-in-first-out list. It extends the Vector and hence is synchronized.
These special classes are outside the scope of this article. However, you will learn how to set up and use a general-purpose Java ArrayList.
Creating an ArrayList is simple. An empty ArrayList can be created by using the no-arguments constructor. Here we create an empty arraylist for holding strings.
If you happen to know how many items your array list will contain, you can specify the initial capacity. This initial capacity is just a hint for memory allocation — the arraylist is not restricted to holding the specified number of items. If you know and specify the initial capacity, you might get a slight improvement in performance.
To find how many items are there in the arraylist, use the method size().
You can add items from any collection in the Java Collections Hierarchy too. An ArrayList is a specific type called List. Here is a way to construct a List from a bunch of items (using Arrays.asList()) and add it to an ArrayList.
Of course, you can specify an index as the first argument here to add the items starting at that index.
Once the items have been added to the arraylist, how do we access them again?
If you know the item's index, you can use the get() method to retrieve the element at that index.
What if you don't know the index of the item? You can use indexOf() to check if the item is present in the array and retrieve the item using the returned index.
What if the item is not present in the arraylist? The indexOf() method returns -1 when the item is not found.
Of course, the most common usage of an ArrayList is iterating over the elements. This can be accomplished in a number of ways. We show a couple of simple ones here.
Here is the simplest way of iterating over an arraylist and extracting the items for some kind of processing.
Once items are added, we need a way to replace unwanted items. That can be done by using the set() method with an index.
Let us now see how we can remove items from an arraylist. If you know the index of the item (perhaps you used indexOf() described above), you can use the remove() method with the index. It returns the removed element.
You can also specify the element to remove the first occurrence of the element in the list. The method returns true if the element was found and removed.
How are you using the ArrayList in your projects and what special issues have you faced? Please let us know in the comments below.

Project-GC is a website aiming to provide dynamic statistics for all geocachers in the world. Besides statistics there are several map tools which might be helpful. The goal is to make the best third-party geocaching site available.
Geocaching Toolbox. All the geocaching tools a geocacher needs in one box! Coordinate notation changes, conversions to different coordinate systems, distance calculations, midpoint and intersection calculations can be found here. All results will be shown on the map as a reference, you can either save them as .gpx or send them directly to your GPS device. With Geocaching Live support it is also possible to import coordinates of geocaches and waypoints from Geocaching.com directly into the different tools and update your personal cache note with the result.
And there is more: word value, caesar cipher, vigenère cipher, morse code and lots more!
The Geocaching Association of Great Britain (GAGB). The Association was established in 2003 to provide a national geocaching organisation and serve as a point of contact for geocachers, landowners, the media and others with an interest in geocaching. They maintain a database containing details of landowner consents and/or restrictions on the placement of caches, in respect of many parts of the UK and the Isle of Man; provide a GAGB members' forum; maintain codes of conduct and geocaching guidance; liaise with landowners as necessary; offer help and support to geocachers generally and provide a national organisation for enquiries about geocaching from the public, the media and others.

Popular singer Balam joined LRB, one of the most popular bands in the country, on Friday when the band celebrated its twenty-eight-year journey in the entertainment industry. However, this year, the celebration was done in mourning mode without the band's initiator and lead vocalist Ayub Bachchu (AB) who died October 18 last year.
As it is true that no other musicians can fill up the void which was created due to the death of legendary guitarist-songwriter-composer-singer in the country's music industry, yet the band LRB (Love Runs Blind) wants to keep the legacy of AB to continue.
Following the appointment of Balam, the band announced his name in a celebration programme which took place in a restaurant in the capital.
In 1991, AB left Souls after his stint in the band for 10 long years and formed LRB with the eagerness to create something revolutionary. The band performed over 2,500 gigs at home (500+ open air & 2000+ indoor) and abroad, according to its website.


Feelings, positive or negative, are there for a reason, and if we do not tend to them, we are denying an important part of our mental wellbeing. It does not mean that we need to sit on our negative emotions forever, but it means that only by accepting them and working through them can we move on FROM them.
I see individual clients, couples, and families. My work is highly influenced by Satir's Transformational Systemic Therapy Model and Leslie Greenberg's and Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy Model. I believe people have the ability to cope with the problems they face, but sometimes they have no access to these resources. I also believe that safe connections are necessary for change to happen.
Being a therapist is more than a career for me - it is a passion, it is my calling, and it is what gives meaning to my life. This is my second career, and everyday I am grateful for the course that my life took to get me here.

It's National Poetry Month, and one of my theories is that a good poem can lift an author past any tedious touch of "writer's block" to a fresh outlook. Even for mysteries.
Floridian David Kirby makes this very clear in his new book via Hanging Loose Press, A WILDERNESS OF MONKEYS. In long-lined swinging stanzas the narrative almost scoots past the presence of meter and line -- and then, swinging back the other way, Kirby's merriment restores the form and its rhythm, with a gurgle of delight.
them say "you missed a patch over there" and not tip you.
Think it's easy to pull this off for almost 90 pages? It's not easy at all. But it's wonderful, and funny, and fun, and thoughtful. I'm so glad this book arrived in the mail. It was a great surprise. And it's available now.
Vermont's a funny place. You can see the most amazing creations made from barn board or blue and green Mason jars or sprays of pussywillows dominating a room or a landscape. But you can't necessarily get the TV stations that show the "DIY Network" -- you have to DIY, that is, Do It Yourself, yourself.
Which makes it a little bit wild and wonderful that Joanne Palmisano's new book, SALVAGE SECRETS DESIGN AND DECOR, found its way here to Vermont for a review. Crammed with tips like the importance of the depth of a salvaged sink, or how to refinish metal cabinets -- "Easy! Take it to your local car refinisher, and have them sandblast it and repaint it. Unique and ready to go -- just pull up a truck" -- Palmisano sets this cheerful "make it into something fresh" attitude into style that fits as well in an urban upscale home as it does in a chic country cottage. A star of the television DIY network, she's less well known here among the Green Mountains, where her roots are. And she deserves a lot more local attention.
This sleek and colorful book packs 302 pages (you'd never guess it from the comfortable feel in your hand) with finished projects, inspiration, and highly personal adaptations. I'm especially impressed with the bathrooms Palmisano shows, which are true sanctuaries (one is even decorated with old church crosses). But the kitchens and dining areas are wonderful meetingplaces, and the bedrooms are cozy and funky. I did wonder how the lovely golden lighting in so many of these set pieces will adapt to the push into compact fluorescent lighting. If I ever meet this Vermonter-turned-national phenom of reclaiming and recycling, I'll hope for a long conversation on the topic.
Meanwhile, I plan to re-read and re-gaze at least a few more times; Susan Teare's photos are crisp, large, and lush, and Palmisano's friendly and down-to-earth approach to savoring design and decor makes for great reading.
Oh no, this isn't a mystery book -- I'm sure you caught that! -- but even though I told the very nice publisher's rep not to send a review copy because it wouldn't fit with our mysteries focus, one arrived in the mailbox a week later. And you know how it is in Vermont ... we hate to waste things. Palmisano captures that philosophy with exuberance and skill (and a great "Resources" section); what a shame it would be if I didn't put her new book to use right here!
Available in May, and by pre-order now, through independent bookstores and online. Here's Palmisano's website: http://joannepalmisano.com. Have fun visiting, and I hope you'll pick up a copy of her book, as well as tuning in (if your TV can reach it) to her DIY shows and her designs on This Old House. In a couple of years, I might wear out my copy of the book, and if I do, I'll create a project to showcase it. Yes, it's worth holding onto this one, reclaiming it with fresh eyes and appreciation every season.
But just in case you DON'T yet have some of these books on your shelf: THE CAIRO AFFAIR is an excellent place to start. Like Charles McCarry's excellent (and sometimes little known) espionage title The Secret Lovers, this title is meant to read two ways. It's first a political snafu in Cairo, Egypt, and Steinhauer's lively and quick-paced novel takes us into the heart of the Arab Spring: Libyan terrorists, religious conflicts, power struggles. Why should any of it be connected to the sudden shooting, in public, of Sophie Kohl's American diplomat husband in Hungary?
Well, our sins have long roots. And chopping off the stems doesn't stop the roots from traveling onward and sending up more shoots, right? Sophie's just been confronted by her husband Emmett and, with little fuss, admitted to an affair in their last posting, in Egypt. (Second meaning of the title.) She sees no direct connection to the murder that's just happened in front of her, but then again, she's got to start somewhere, responding to what's happened.
She wasn't going to do anything that she'd done before in her life. Emmett had been too good and too strong, and she would try to at least be something better than she had been.
She returned to bed and picked up her cell phone, again turning it on. It was three thirty in the morning, and there were twenty-eight missed calls. Mother, father, friends, unknown numbers, and, twice, Stan Bertolli. Dependable Stan. She pressed the green button to call her old lover in Cairo.
Steinhauer packs in some stunning twists, as well as suspense and enough different views of the roles of the United States in northern Africa that the Arab Spring takes on fresh aspects and layered depth. The book spins to a highly satisfying conclusion. Of course, I ended up with many more questions about the state of the world, lingering, sticking with me, and then pushing me to the Sunday newspaper with fresh eyes and rekindled curiosity.
Kimberly Pauley shouldn't need much reassurance -- her track record (mostly for teens) already shines and sings. But her author website (http://www.kimberlypauley.com) has the feel of someone still hesitant to trust the fates.
She should probably just relax and enjoy what she's earned. ASK ME is a tight, intriguing, and totally teen-ready mystery with just the right amount of paranormal and a balanced blend of not belonging and suddenly finding a first boyfriend. Or two.
Right from the start, it's clear Aria has a "gift." Her grandparents, who gave up their comfy retirement home in order to find a more rural place to raise her after her mom deserted her, know she has this "prophecy" ability. It's no surprise: So did her grandmother when she was a girl (in that case, the gift ended at puberty, though). And Aria's grandfather is still hopeful that this newest truth-speaker in the family will find a way to persuade the unruly prophetic streak to come up with something to help the household finances ... say, the winning animal at the races.
But prophecy, for this line of "Sibyls," isn't one of those things you get to just push the button on. And in Aria's case, things are dire. Because any time someone asks a question, no matter what, she has to answer it. So she's learned to wear headphones and listen to music to keep from hearing others, and when she does hear their questions -- and people ask a stunning amount of questions every day -- she tries to mumble the answers. Being compelled to reveal truthful answers has already brought her way too much trouble (like, answering where a straying husband is, or what a boy sees in another girl, ouch!) As Aria comments about her lack of friends at school, "Who wants a friend who only speaks the truth?"
So it's a complete and surprising accident when one of the most popular girls in school asks a question that Aria can't help answering, a reply to Jade's despair: "Some things can only be confided to the earth." Not that Aria knows what that's supposed to mean (prophecies are often metaphorical or weird). But Jade seems to get it, and for a moment, school isn't such a desperate place.
Until Jade is found missing, then dead, and Aria -- of course -- can't help replying if people ask her about the death. Soon the police and then Jade's two boyfriends are after Aria, and at least one of them may have a dangerous motive for calling her and inviting her into something she barely grasps.
Go ahead, buy a copy for the "young adult" in your life. (It's from Soho Teen, sibling to Soho Crime.) Just make sure you have enough time to read it yourself, before you give it away.
A murder from 1997 -- solved but not really cleared away -- is going to dog Detective Inspector Alex Morrow's current effort to keep a mobbed-up murderer jailed in Glasgow. But she doesn't know it yet, as RED ROADS opens with her court testimony and an unlikely stirring of friendship with Anton Atholl, defense attorney for the notorious Michael Brown. In fact, it's Alex who's sweating and nervous in court this time, but she pulls herself together and does a competent job of testimony.
Back at her boss's office, a shocking discovery threatens to completely derail the case, though. The incarcerated defendant's fingerprints have just been identified -- at a current crime scene. Word of this could do much more than let Michael Brown off his current charges; it could derail all the past convictions related to him, as well as to the prints lab.
Mina ramps up the tension and emotion by exposing the reader, in chapters sandwiched between Alex's experience, to what took place when a 16-year-old sexually abused girl went to prison back in 1997 for a knifing murder -- on the same night that another such murder took place. It will be a long reach within the book's tense timeline until DI Alex Morrow realizes that there are people from the old case, tangentially involved with the new one.
This is the fourth Alex Morrow investigation (although it appears the publisher has "issues" around title number three and isn't mentioning it; go to the author website for the full listing, http://www.denisemina.com/writing). If you're already hooked on Mina's Glasgow noir, this one may be a hair gentler in terms of gore than others -- but emotionally it packs multiple punches and captures the double-binds of poverty and deprivation that feed back into cruelty. And if you haven't yet sampled Mina's other titles (which also include other investigators), this is actually a really good place to start, rich with imagery and layers of connection. I was sorry to turn the last page.
Agatha Christie was right -- small-town life is a perfect stage for murder mysteries. And Liz Mugavero, in her second "Pawsitively Organic Mystery," gives us an amateur sleuth who's driven to solve crime when it affects that people she cares about. Kristan "Stan" Connor is curious, ambitious, honest, and will do just about anything for her friends and neighbors in the little Connecticut town of Frog Ledge.
Owner of a relatively new business providing homemade, organic pet foods (often helpful in clearing up allergies and intestinal ailments of the dogs and cats whose owners will try them), Stan's quickly expanding her services in the community. As A BISCUIT, A CASKET opens, Stan's just arriving with the chow for a very cute costumed pet birthday party, to be held at a local dairy farm that's also diversifying. In fact, in addition to the pet party, there's a Halloween-themed tour of the farm's clever "corn maze" to delight adventurous locals and tourists.
But Stan never has a chance to serve her doggie delights that evening, because shrieks and chaos erupt when one of the married owners of the farm is found dead in the maze, a corn-chopping tool thrust into him in skilled and murderous fashion. As the only person in the crowd with experience of what ought to happen at a crime scene (see Mugavero's first in the series, Kneading to Die), Stan takes action to keep the crowd back and dials 911. The major drawback to that action the the local police investigator already knows Stan and isn't too impressed with this recent resident of the town -- "Stan pulled her phone out of her pocket. Noticed her hand was shaking. Great. Another call to Trooper Pasquale about a dead body."
Stan's determination to be a good neighbor leads her to agree to help the newly widowed farm owner to look into why Hal Hoffman's been killed and who's done it. Good thing she has a newly hired baking assistant for her pet treats already ordered, but there's still a lot she has to handle on her own. And with the abrupt arrival of her not-very-happy mother to pay a visit, a potential boyfriend who keeps running into her during the wrong moments, and possible underworld connections to the murdered farmer, the pressure never lets up.
There are plenty of bouncing dogs and well-grooomed cats in here, as well as cows (and their manure) -- but most of all the book draws its charm from Mugavero's well-created sleuth, who's smart enough to ask the right questions, again and again, until the answers start to line up. I enjoyed all the twists, and just enough scary moments to keep the plot lively without too much gore. This is a delightful "amateur sleuth" traditional mystery, crafted by an author who understands the classic mystery apparatus, and deftly weaves it into a small town that Dame Agatha would have enjoyed very much, I'm sure! Hurrah for Stan Connor and this growing series. Sign me up for the next book!

AT 11 A.M. ON NOVEMBER 6, 2005, SHAWN HEINRICHS and his ski partner were approached at the Berthoud Pass parking lot by a panicked stranger, who announced that his friend Sam Teetzen had been caught in an avalanche. Heinrichs and his partner, both regulars at Berthoud, began their search; others followed suit. After nearly an hour of hiking, skinning, and probing, the unofficial search crew located Teetzen. Heinrichs, who helped dig, performed CPR on Teetzen. He wrote about his experience in an account that circulated on the Internet last fall. Below is an excerpt.
AIR WAS FIRST PRIORITY. His face was blue, his mouth was open, and his eyes were bloodshot with a sad blank stare. He looked very dead. We all started calling to Sammy to hang in there.
CPR WAS SAMMY'S ONLY CHANCE. Each person took turns supporting the head, doing chest compressions, and blowing air. Supporting the head to keep his passage open was very tiring. Doing chest compressions was like doing push-ups at 11,000 feet.
AS THE CPR PROGRESSED, air got into his stomach. Ribs were cracking. When we administered mouth-to-mouth, a terrible smell would come from the stomach. It was hard not to throw up.
SAMMY WAS NOW BLEEDING FROM HIS NOSE. My partner Elias duct-taped Sammy's nose shut. The tape covered his eyes as well.
MOUNTAIN RESCUE FINALLY MADE their way up the ravine. Over an hour had passed since we began our search, probably more than two hours since Sammy had been buried. The process can only go so fast.
AT 12:52 THE MEDIC PRONOUNCED Sammy dead. There was little talking. We gathered our gear while Sammy was lying on his back, eyes wide-open and lifeless. I put my fingers on his eyelids and closed his eyes.
• Never enter the backcountry without ALL the proper equipment. Sammy owned a beacon - it was in his bag in the car.
• Always carry a sufficient medical kit in the backcountry, including a CPR mask.
• You won't muster superhuman strength and speed. You are at 11,000 feet with little oxygen. You are burdened by gear. You are guessing each step. You are battling thoughts of hope and hopelessness.
• I don't ever want to be in this situation again in my life.

Chef Warren Caterson will share dozens of tips, cooking hints, and humorous anecdotes about the joys and benefits of cooking with wine at the Safety Harbor Public Library on Thursday, November 1 at 6:30 pm.
In conjunction with the City's annual Wine Festival, Chef Caterson will explain how cooking with wine produces flavors not present in the original ingredients and answer such questions as: What is the best wine to cook with? Are there rules that apply to what wine one should serve with certain foods? Does the alcohol 'burn off' when I cook with wine? Does marinating meat in wine tenderize it? What are sulfites? And many more! A demonstration on how to prepare a healthy entrée that can be replicated in less than 15 minutes will also be presented.
Chef Caterson is the author of Table for Two – The Cookbook for Couples and Table for Two – Back for Seconds. He studied at the Southeast Institute of Culinary Arts and is a full-time writer and chef.
The Library is located at 101 2nd Street North, Safety Harbor. Call 724-1525 x 4112 for more information or visit www.SafetyHarborLibrary.com. Program is sponsored by the Friends of the Safety Harbor Library.

Music Review: Né So
– Spirituality & Health Magazine
reviewed by John Malkin
Né So
From the opening moments of this new album, the African rhythms and captivating voice of Rokia Traoré are powerful and alluring. On this, her sixth album, Traoré sings heartedly of patience, perseverance, and the human potential for living in harmony. The songs of Né So ("Home") were inspired by Traoré's experiences after returning in 2009 to live in her birth country, Mali, including encounters with life during wartime as a civil war boiled to the surface there in 2012. Indeed, Traoré's wavering vibrato vocals evoke the violence, poverty, and colonization that have torn apart the African continent for centuries. On "Ile'" ("You There") Traoré sings out clearly, "Insulting each other is proof of ignorance / Making war is proof of ignorance."
Né So is a beautifully lyrical album and simultaneously a flash of lightning in this current period of bubblegum pop, where sociopolitical commentary has been relegated to a back burner. The album's title song concerns the shattering result of current wars in the Middle East and Africa that is pushing men, women, and children from their homes to paddle, swim, and walk toward unknown borders: "Another five million, five hundred thousand people fled their homes..." Traoré speaks as the song begins.
"Strange Fruit" is perfectly suited to the cover single here, with its haunting reminder of the violent racism that the US has yet to reconcile. The last of the 11 songs, "Se' Dan" ("One World"), gives us Traoré in a duet with singer/songwriter Devendra Banhart, singing, "Honor yourself as a small part of a whole that is made from diversity." The album features Burkinabe drummer Moïse Ouattara and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones on bass guitar.

Q: solving system of ODEs in Mathematica I am using the DSolve to solve the following 2 ODEs
\begin{equation}
\begin{cases}
&\dot{y}(t)=z(t)-y(t)-\frac{c_1c_2y(t)}{-c_1c_2e^{-t}t+c_1(1-c_2)+c_3e^{-t}}\\
&\dot{z}(t)=-z(t)+\frac{c_1c_2y(t)}{-c_1c_2e^{-t}t+c_1(1-c_2)+c_3e^{-t}}
\end{cases}
\end{equation}
with initial value $z(0)=0$ and $y(0)\in(0,1)$.
Then I use the following code
system = {y'[t] == -y[t] + z[t] -
     c1*c2*y[t]/(c1*(1 - c2) - c1*c2*Exp[-t]*t + c3*Exp[-t]),
   z'[t] == -z[t] +
     c1*c2*y[t]/(c1*(1 - c2) - c1*c2*Exp[-t]*t + c3*Exp[-t]),
   z[0] == 0};

and
DSolve[system, {y[t], z[t]}, t]

However, Mathematica did nothing but beautify my input. So does this mean, Mathematica cannot solve this ODE in closed-form?

ONLINE: People's Climate March draws hundreds of Rochester activists
by Emmy Frank - Staff Writer
Mon, May 1st 2017 07:00 pm
On Saturday, April 29, hundreds of people took part in the Rochester, NY People's Climate March. The march comes a week after other climate marches in D.C. and across the nation.
As explained on their Facebook event page, the march was "part of a larger strategy to push back on an agenda of climate denial and fossil fuel expansion, and double-down at the local level fighting fossil fuels and lifting up real climate solutions."
Once Environmentally Conscious Organization for Society (ECOS) found out about the People's Climate March, they spread the word about it, providing free transportation to and from the march. Anyone who chose the environmentally friendly method of taking the bus with the club rather than driving their own cars got a free t-shirt, saying "We Can Make a World of Difference."
The movement kicked off at 10:30 a.m. at Rochester City Hall, with the actual march beginning at 11 a.m. Hundreds of people marched through the streets to Washington Square Park in a blocked-off, 0.7 mile route. It was well-organized and peaceful, with police officers on duty predominantly to monitor traffic.
In solidarity, people across all generations—the elderly, the youth and even little kids—marched through downtown Rochester. Many of the people who marched held up homemade signs. Some popular slogans for the signs were "Climate Change is Real," "There is no Planet B" and "I'm marching for my grandchildren." Many signs also mentioned President Trump in some way; while most sarcastically criticized the president, others took a more factual approach by addressing his current environmental policies.
Once the march ended, about half of the people who marched stayed in Washington Square Park to listen to a panel of speakers. Before the speeches began, the Rochester Raging Grannies sang a few songs. True to the name, a group of old women—feisty, well-dressed grandmothers wearing big hats adorned with political buttons—approached the stage. According to their website, raginggrannies.org, they describe themselves as "women of a certain age, singing out for social justice, a clean environment, and peace." Although from a musical perspective they were quite off-key and didn't harmonize well, the Raging Grannies were a crowd hit. Almost everyone in the park was singing along. One popular song had the lyrics, "Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my planet to me, to me!"
After the Raging Grannies' performance and some introductory remarks from the March's host, Mayor Lovely Warren approached the stage. She was energetic and enthusiastic. She succeeded in pumping up the crowd, whose energy had died down just a bit because of the slightly longer wait—she was late for her speech. She excitedly greeted Rochester and in a short but charged speech ensured the crowd that "Climate change is real," and that Rochester was doing something to fight it.
Warren explained that in addition to the measures the City of Rochester has already taken—like installing solar panels on major buildings—the City is currently creating a Community Climate Action Plan, a plan that will help Rochester continue to address climate change. More details of this plan can be found on the City of Rochester's website, www.cityofrochester.gov/climateactionplan.
After Mayor Warren's speech, many other people took to the stage. Even Brockport's very own professor from the Environmental Science department, Dr. James Haynes spoke.
Students from ECOS, including ECOS President Chris Plummer, stood on the stage with him, holding up a large graph showing climate change data. No other speaker supplied such a large visual. His academic background and solid facts seemed to get the attention of the crowd.
Although all of the speeches came from people of different backgrounds and perspectives, the overall message from each speaker was the same: climate change is real, and we need to do something about it. The speakers encouraged the people of Rochester to make changes in their daily lives to fight climate change and to become more politically involved. They encouraged everyone to bike more, install solar panels, invest in green energy and buy local food from local farmers. They encouraged people to start and continue the conversation about climate change with friends, family members, and people of the community. And they especially encouraged people to get involved politically, stressing the importance of calling up their representatives and asking them what they were doing to fight climate change.
Eli Steinberg, a senior Environmental Science major and a member of ECOS thought the march was an important way to show the Trump administration
"I'd say it's an important way to show the current administration we're still here," Steinberg explained. "But people need to take action independent of just marching, such as diverting from fossil fuels and staying politically active."
His thoughts reflected the opinions of all the speakers. Although each speaker thanked the crowd for being there, all of them stressed that marching just wasn't enough for big change.

Milwaukee shoplifter caught on camera stealing hundreds of dollars worth of accessories

NOW: Milwaukee shoplifter caught on camera stealing hundreds of dollars worth of accessories
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A shoplifter took about $1,000 worth of dog accessories from a Milwaukee pet store, and they caught the thief on camera.
Surveillance video shows a woman taking high-end dog accessory brands like Gucci and Chanel from Lue-Lue's World, and stuffing them in her clothing. She walked into the store Thursday pretending to be a customer, while she lingered in the store.
The owners, Aminah and Wajdi Hamdan are frustrated.
"This is wrong, especially for someone trying to raise kids, that's like someone's mortgage payment," Co-Owner of Lue-Lue's World Aminah Hamdan said.
As Wajdi was leaving to pick their children up from school, Aminah was busy grooming dogs. Once Wajdi left, the video shows the shoplifter start taking items from the other side of the store. The owners say the woman was in the store recently and believed she knew when Wajdi left to pick their kids up every day.
The owners didn't notice anything was missing until they closed.
"I find all these empty hangers, and I'm like what is this, seriously?," Aminah said.
She hopes the woman will come forward.
"What you did was extremely wrong," Aminah said.
The owners are hoping sharing their surveillance video could help prevent other small businesses from getting hit.
"She looked very comfortable with it as if she's done this multiple times before," Aminah said. "I think it's time to stop her," Wajdi continued.
The owners have already added more security cameras, plan to have two people in the store at all times, and will be more alert.
Milwaukee Police are still looking for the suspect.

Today in the construction filed, much-advanced technology is used to ease the working process both for the contractors and clients. By combining standard concrete formwork with the Plastic Concrete Formwork, make a white, sanitary, easy-to-clean and completed wall with less time.
Today, the BOFU's latest and innovative concrete forms products are used in construction work by many contractors. Even, most advanced plastic forming products are manufactured that can be used many times without degrading. In result, the house can both withstand natural disasters and give warm protection and dampness resistance.
The whole technique for construction of a building is relying on the way of the concrete. Whatever structures you use that should be stronger. Apart from traditional formwork methodology, probably the most current formworks include metal and BOFU Plastic Forms are normally utilized by the contractors.
When it comes to the slab construction, especially, the ribbed concrete slab made by Plastic Concrete Forms is used in different types of building projects. This formwork system slab is light-weight, environmentally friendly as compared to the traditional slabs.
The plastic concrete formwork system is self-supporting.
It offers more prominent efficiency by arranging of consumable materials between ribbings.
This formwork system does not require any cleansers and discharging specialists due to its unique quality. Concrete cannot stick to plastic, so, there is no problem with washing it towards the end of the work.
The lumps are effortlessly dismantled as a result of their light weight.
They can be secured in little space and don't experience the ill effects of dampness.
The one of an interesting outline of the chunks gives a couple of alternatives to using, for instance, cables, wires, lighting, air and conditioning frameworks.
Slabs can be left in sight or put with standard cladding.
It can be reused and utilize more than a hundred times.

Boulder's 10-cent grocery bag fee edges forward…
Boulder's 10-cent grocery bag fee edges forward with near-unanimous support
Jeremy Papasso / Daily Camera file photo
Chris Koury puts groceries in a paper bag for a customer while working the cash register at Alfalfa's Market on Broadway in May. The City Council this week will begin considering a 20-cent fee on the use of paper and plastic grocery bags.
By Erica Meltzer |
The Boulder City Council appears likely to impose a 10-cent fee on all disposable grocery bags — paper or plastic — starting in July 2013.
The council voted 7-1 Thursday night to approve an ordinance establishing the fee, which is half as much as the city staff originally suggested. Councilman George Karakehian voted "no," and Councilman Tim Plass was absent.
However, council members had to change the reference in the ordinance to the amount of the fee that retailers will get to keep to cover their costs.
The ordinance said retailers could keep 20 percent of the fee. However, that percentage was meant to refer to 4 cents out of the previously proposed 20-cent fee. The council had to change that to 40 percent because the fee is now just 10 cents.
That change means the ordinance will have to come back for a fourth reading Nov. 15.
Karakehian made a last effort to persuade his colleagues to reconsider the fee and change it to a ban on just plastic bags. He said a ban would be simpler and less expensive to administer than the fee. The city plans to use money from the fee in part to buy reusable bags and give them to low-income residents.
Councilwomen Suzanne Jones said she also was open to a ban. It is possible for the City Council to change the ordinance again if a majority of members agree. That would require a fifth reading.
Students from the Net Zero clubs at Fairview High School and Summit Middle School, who initially put the issue on the city's agenda by pushing for a ban, said they support the fee now, though they want the city to revisit its policy in a few years and consider a ban on plastic.
Boulder resident Fred Rubin said the City Council should let voters decide the question as a ballot measure.
"We are highly educated people in the city of Boulder," he said. "We do not need you to substitute your judgment for our own."
The fee would apply to all paper and plastic bags at food retailers, including grocery stores, convenience stores and Target. Gas station stores would be exempt if food sales account for less than 2 percent of their business.

You know, life happens and things like blogging get put on hold. Every extra moment I have is given to reviewing my story before I hand it out to my "beta group." Not to mention being mom-teacher means an attempt to end the school year with sons-students who are as ready to for it to end as I. To top it all off, we've had a bit of a virus running through the household; so everything lately has been shot to bits.
Then, I found out through another blog I follow (a very smart literary agent's blog) that blogger might not be the best platform for blogging (something about SEO issues). I guess that got me a little down and I have started messing with another platform. Do I switch? Do I have time to figure out another blogging site? I guess I'll have to. Grrr.
I promise I'm not shirking my responsibilities to blog…I'm just a bit overwhelmed is all. I'll be back with something witty to say or something fascinating I've learned and less stream-of-consciousness than this post. In the meantime, my apologies.
