Objective To evaluate the prospective association of long-term intake of vegetables and fruits with late-life subjective cognitive function (SCF).
Methods Among 27,842 men with a mean age of 51 years in 1986, we used multinomial logistic regression to examine the relation of vegetable and fruit consumption to future SCF. Average dietary intake was calculated from 5 repeated food frequency questionnaires collected every 4 years until 2002. SCF score was assessed twice (2008 and 2012) using a 6-item questionnaire; validity was supported by strong associations with APO ε4 genotype. We categorized the average of the 2 scores as good, moderate, and poor SCF.
Results Higher intakes of total vegetables, total fruits, and fruit juice were each significantly associated with lower odds of moderate or poor SCF after controlling for major nondietary factors and total energy intake. The association with total fruit intake was weaker after further adjusting for major dietary factors. In this model, the multivariate odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for vegetable intake (top vs bottom quintile) were 0.83 (0.76–0.92), p trend <0.001 for moderate SCF and 0.66 (0.55–0.80), p trend <0.001 for poor SCF. For orange juice, compared to <1 serving/mo of intake, daily consumption was associated with a substantially lower odds of poor SCF (0.53 [0.43–0.67], p trend <0.001). Higher consumption of vegetables and fruits 18 to 22 years before SCF assessment was associated with lower odds of poor SCF independent of more proximal intake.
Conclusion Our findings support a long-term beneficial role of vegetable, fruit, and orange juice consumption on SCF.

Former School Board Trustees Henry Johnson and Glenn Nelson are calling for the current board to honor former Superintendent Scott Westerman.
Ann Arbor Public Schools officials plan to honor Dr. Scott Westerman's lifelong dedication to public education and Ann Arbor schools by naming the pre-school after him. Westerman worked directly for the district from 1960 to 1971, serving as Superintendent from 1967 to 1971. He then spent 20 years at Eastern Michigan University, including more than a decade as Dean of the College of Education.
This work included developing a curriculum to better reflect the diversity of the student population and increasing the racial and ethnic diversity of the staff of Ann Arbor Public Schools. Westerman also pushed to create new partnerships with other organizations with parallel interests to realize a more effective combination of talents, facilities, and personnel in serving the needs of those youth whose needs are very special.
When current School Board Trustee Patricia Manley was a teacher at Huron High School she witnessed these efforts. Manley says Westerman played a key role in dealing with difficulties, mostly related to racial issues. "He was so instrumental in coming in and working with Dr. Mial and leading our staff into a place where we could work congenially with the students and the parents to resolve the issues, he was just wonderful," she says.
The push for renaming the pre-school as the Ann Arbor Public Schools Dr. W. Scott Westerman, Jr. Preschool and Family Center is being spearheaded by former Trustee Glenn Nelson. He says this recognition is for Westerman's role as a premier educator focusing on the dignity and uniqueness of each individual. Nelson says it's also honoring someone who provides the model for what it means to be a good citizen and professional.
Nelson highlights how caring, inclusive, and respectful Westerman is to everyone. "He listens carefully, he believes everyone has the capacity to provide insight and to learn," Nelson says.
Some of this work in recent years includes serving on the Superintendent's Blue Ribbon Advisory Committee, advocating for bond and millage campaigns, and overseeing the Marcine (Marcy) Westerman Endowment for Art and Music Teachers in the Ann Arbor Public Schools, and an endowment fund for the Ann Arbor District Library.
The School Board will officially vote on renaming the preschool at their meeting June 24. Letters of recommendation to honor Westerman can still be submitted to Board Assistant Amy Osinski. They will be presented to Westerman at the School Board meeting.
Naming the pre-school and family center after Dr. Westerman is a well deserved honor, long delayed…looking forward to a unanimous vote on the 24th!….
Dr.Westerman is an outstanding educator, administrator and human being. It has been my pleasure to learn from him during our time at a local health/exercise facility. I am a Pioneer (73) classmate of his son, I see where my classmate gets his integrity and compassion from, which is no slight to his late mother. I hope to attend the school board meeting to witness the acknowledgement so well deserved!


The Panel 1 Tests segment is expected to expand at 10.8% CAGR over the forecast period and be valued at more than US$ 850 Mn by 2024 end. This segment was estimated to account for more than 50% revenue share of the global non-invasive prenatal testing market by 2016 end. Panel 1 Tests segment is projected to create absolute $ opportunity of more than US$ 40 Mn in 2017 over 2016. Revenue from this segment in the global non-invasive prenatal testing market is expected to grow 2.3x by 2024 end as compared to that in 2016.
The Panel 2 Tests segment is expected to record absolute $ opportunity of close to US$ 19 Mn in 2017 over 2016. The Panel 2 Tests segment is estimated to register 9.7% CAGR over the forecast period. This segment is expected to lose a little more than 90 BPS in its market share by 2024 end.
The Panel 3 Tests segment revenue in the global non-invasive prenatal testing market is expected to grow 1.9x by 2024 end as compared to that in 2016. The Panel 3 Tests segment is anticipated to expand at 8.6% CAGR over the forecast period and be valued at more than US$ 200 Mn by 2024 end. This segment is expected to lose more than 180 BPS in its market share by 2024 end.
Leading market players in the global non-invasive prenatal testing market are introducing innovative tests to differentiate themselves from one another in a competitive market. According to a review article published in the British Medical Journal in 2016, the sensitivity of tests for Down Syndrome was 99.3%, 97.4% for Edwards and 97.4% for Patau Syndrome. The specificity of all three tests was 99.9%. Use of emerging technology platforms such as next-generation massively parallel sequencing has incentivized vendors to develop more sensitive tests for better results. This particular factor is fueling the growth of the test segment of the global non-invasive prenatal testing market.
Several laboratories and companies have signed distribution agreements with test providers to be able to offer advanced products and services to patients, which is creating a positive impact on the test segment of the global non-invasive prenatal testing market. Several public health agencies of major countries around the globe have either started to, or are expected to offer these tests directly. This is further driving the adoption and revenue growth of the test segment as awareness of these procedures is expected to increase amongst the global population. Increasing awareness regarding non-invasive prenatal testing across geographies is expected to boost the revenue growth of the test type segment over the forecast period. For instance, obstetricians are increasingly recommending patients to undergo non-invasive tests as an alternative to invasive methods and for initial diagnostic screening in the first trimester of pregnancy.
The Panel 1 Tests segment dominated the North America non-invasive prenatal testing market in terms of revenue in 2015 and the trend is projected to grow throughout the forecast period. Panel 1 Tests segment is the most attractive segment in the North America non-invasive prenatal testing market, with a market attractiveness index of 1.6 over the forecast period. Focus on improving technology and alliances and partnerships among key market players across North America is a major factor fueling the growth of the test type segment. In Latin America, government initiative and established healthcare infrastructure and partnerships are creating a positive impact on the overall test type segment. The high adoption rate of non-invasive prenatal tests is a major factor driving market growth in the APAC region particularly in countries like China, Australia and New Zealand. Advanced maternal age and high-risk pregnancies in China are estimated to be three times as compared to the U.S., and this factor is creating lucrative opportunities for the introduction of non-invasive prenatal tests in the Asia Pacific region.


Our Dermatologist are specialists in Womens Dermatology which includes dermatoses involving the mucosal surfaces ie genital and mouth. There are many Dermatoses that occur in women specifically. In particular pregnancy rashes can be a source of anxiety for all.
Many of these condition present with itch and irritation in the early stages.
A thorough examination by your Dermatologist and further investigations (biopsy) may be able to make the diagnosis early.
Early diagnosis is important as some of these conditions will lead to permanent scarring and functional problems as well as increased risk of cancer if not treated. Early treatment may prevent these issues.
A number of Dermatological conditions occur in pregnancy.
Periorificial Dermatitis : acne like eruption around the mouth and eyes.
Polymorphic eruption of pregnancy : an itchy rash occuring towards the end of pregnancy.
Pemphigoid Gestationis : a serious blistering condition that can occur in pregnancy.
Cholestasis of pregnancy : an itchy condition arising in pregnancy due without rash.
Atopic Eruption of Pregnancy : an eczema like eruption that occurs in pregnancy.
Dr Laura Wheller and Dr Melissa Carroll both have a special interest in the management of Vulval Dermatoses.

Occupational Safety Subject of Pulitzer Prize
Pulitzer Prizes are awarded annually for excellence in public interest journalism, but seldom are they given for reporting on occupational safety and health. This year is different.
Reporter Alexandra Berzon and the Las Vegas Sun won the Pulitzer for exposing the high fatality rate among construction workers on the Las Vegas Strip. The paper's exposés led to improved conditions at work, Congressional hearings and a review of state oversight.
Beginning with Pace is the new peril on March 30, 2008, the paper ran 11 major pieces by Berzon on work conditions and death on the world-famous casino boulevard. The last story – Evidence of change: Six months, no fatalities – on December 28th, noted that although 12 workers died in the 18 months before a union walkout in June, none were killed in the ensuing six months. The story summarized a variety of factors that reversed the tide.
Berzon's series also won the 2008 Story of the Year, News Feature of the Year and First Amendment awards from the Nevada Press Association.
The only other Pulitzer awarded in the last 60 years for reporting on occupational safety and health was given in 2004 to David Barstow and Lowell Bergman of the New York Times. Ironically, their story was in the news again last week. They won for a three-part series that exposed the rampant abuse of workplace safety and environmental regulations at McWane, Inc., a cast iron pipe manufacturer with facilities in Texas, Alabama and New Jersey. Last week, four McWane executives were sentenced to jail for criminal violations of environmental law (see story, this issue of LIFELINES ONLINE).

Universe@Home is a research project that uses volunteers to do research in physics and astronomy. You can participate by downloading and running free program on your computer.
We live in times which are marked by the fastest scientific development in the history. Our knowledge grows faster than ever before. We explore the structures of the Universe, nuclei of stars and evolution of galaxies. Using the strength of our minds we crack problems that are not tangible and cannot be examined in laboratory. The technology came as an aid in this struggle. The computers help us to calculate complicated problems and to model extraordinary objects. Therefore the need for computational power is growing exponentially in the scientists' community.
In a different situation are millions of people around the world. The computers industry is evolving extremely quickly and personal computers are available for constantly decreasing prises. Simultaneously, these machines must be strong enough to fulfil the growing needs of users who want to play the newest games and use resources-demanding programs. However, most of the time such computers spend in the idle state when they are used for simple web-browsing or document-writing. The most of computational power stays unused.
As a remedy to both these issues have came the BOINC platform. The innovative infrastructure, which, from one side, serves as the source of huge computational power, and from the other side, gives people the possibility to become involved in huge contemporary science projects utilising their limited resources. BOINC stands for Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing. This system was used for the first time in year 1999 and afterwards dozens of other projects have came into existence. In 2014 the time came for adopting this idea in polish astronomy projects and, at first, the fundamental problems of the stellar evolution will be solved.
BOINC in scientific modelling plays a role of a middleware. Scientists prepare a project which needs a huge computational power and, at the same time, can be divided in small parts that may be run parallelly. A server is prepared and the BOINC infrastructure installed on it. From that moment everyone connected to the Internet can download the special client program. It monitors their computers and if only machine processor is becomes idle, it downloads the data and calculates. There is no hindrance for the user as the computation is reined up every time the computer is needed for something else.
Universe@home project utilises the BOINC platform to perform simulations of evolution of numerous stars. In this way we are able to reproduce the evolution of such stellar populations as whole galaxies consisting of billions of stars. The vast picture that is obtained let the scientists compare the results with all the attainable observational data. Such a massive comparison is far more superior to one made on single system. Investigations made on the whole stellar populations gave us not only the information about their evolution but also about the multiplicity and statistics. This methodology is called population synthesis.
The users who downloaded the client program and chose this project to support, will get a small number of systems. They will calculate the whole evolution of this systems, beginning with the ignition of helium synthesis and ending on the formation of compact object. Then they will return the result to the server. Combining this pieces together a reasonable number will be collected and the analysis will be performed by scientists. Finally, results will be published and will become publicly available. With the development of the project more and more subprojects are going to be available, as the number of different problems, which may be explored in this way, is uncountable. Users will be presented with the possibility to choose which one they want to support at the moment. Every subproject will be described on the project webpage and the users will be informed about the partial results.
The head of the team is prof. Krzysztof Belczyński. He works in the Astronomical Observatory University of Warsaw and cooperates with several research groups worldwide. He is the author of about 200 science papers and he supervised a few students who are currently independent scientists. Professor is the first author and coordinator of the development of the StarTrack population synthesis code which is used for the needs of Universe@home project. The code performs the complex evolution of stars and is kept up-to-date with contemporary development in this field of science. StarTrack was used in dozens of projects and basing on its results hundreds of research papers were published. It is one of the best and widely distinguishable population synthesis codes in the astronomical community.
Below we present a few of problems currently studied by astronomers, which can be approached with the use of Universe@home project.
ULXs are the point-like sources of a very strong X-ray radiation. Observations show that they are off-nuclear, i.e., they are not a typical stars. ULXs should be distinguished from Active Galactic Nuclei, which are their far heavier cousins residing in the centres of galaxies. We know already nearly 500 ULXs but we still lack the knowledge about their nature. Two most probable explanations are the hypothetical intermediate mass black holes, and typical compact objects but with extremely high mass accretion rates. Recent observations point to the latter. Compact objects like neutron stars and black holes are ubiquitous in the Universe. If they are the engines in ULXs, the fuel is the accreted matter. Scientists thought that such a high accretion rates are unphysical, however, new models show something opposite. The quest is to check them and compare with observational data.
This peculiar type of signal was predicted nearly a century ago by Albert Einstein as a consequence of the General Theory of Relativity. Any double compact object (e.g., two black holes or two neutrons stars) should emit such a radiation, which will be visible in gravitational waves observatories. Primary problem is the lack of observations. Their existence is clearly visible in equations but up-to-date there were no signal detection. Our simulations are able to provide a highly realistic estimates of potential observations. When new instruments are becoming operational, it is important to know the predictions. The observational program will be different if we expect one observation daily, then one a year. The StarTrack code, possessing a developed models of compact object formation, is a best tool for making such a calculation and supplying observers with valuable hints.
This type of supernova explosion is extremely important for the cosmic distance scale. Thanks to them we were able to estimate the expansion of the Universe and calculate the distances to remote galaxies. Although we know that this explosions are connected with mass accretion onto white dwarf, we still endeavour to learn the explosion mechanism and the evolutionary routes leading to them. Our code, as performing the complex evolution of every binary, is perfect for answering the problem of evolutionary processes leading to supernovae Ia. What is more, we will be able to provide a lot of information about the formation rates, types of donors, and much more. We will be able to test several model proposed by the researchers' community and even quantify the influence of this type of supernova on the chemical evolution of the Universe.
The Universe@home is the first project using BOINC infrastructure developed and run in the polish higher education institution. The advanced parallel computing methods are being used for solving contemporary scientific conundrums. This is a great step forward as the method proves to be efficient in multitude of other similar projects abroad.
There is no better way of learning than through experience. Currently, a daily life is left far behind the science achievements, schools rarely teach about current problems in science and we have less and less time for reading. Therefore, it is of high importance to find a way to stay in touch with the development. Univserse@home reconnects people, who don't have time or will to conduct any research, to development in our understanding of the nature. Research is worthless for the society if it is not spread among people. It is very important in contemporary world to renew the presence of development and science in our surroundings.
All results of the project will be publicly available. On our webpage we will post all the information about currently running simulations, published results and technical details. Finally, it is planned to provide a huge data base which will serve as a great research tool for other scientist. We will store all the acquired data about the evolution of stars and stellar systems, thus, profits will expand out of the initial range of problems. What is more, the data base will be open to public and will become a great learning and teaching tool. A work done by volunteers will return to them in such a form.
Although Univserse@home is the first project of its kind in Poland, we believe that it will show the path for other heavily numerical science projects. Currently it is unimaginable to carry out any research without the use of computers. Complicated simulations, data analysis and controlling of huge detectors - in all these fields strong computers are needed. Not once, however, costs of such machines were far beyond the budget. The volunteer computing comes as a remedy here.

Selfless – the act of being concerned more with the needs and wishes of others than with one's own. Selfless people do not need any recognition, they have an inherent and insatiable need to make a difference in the lives of others. While it is easy to define, putting it into practice is a different story, but for McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) Foundation volunteer Rosa Shields, this has been her way of life for over two decades.
At 23 years old, life threw her a curveball. Rosa was diagnosed with acute kidney failure, which was discovered after she and husband tried unsuccessfully to start a family for over a year. "Both of my kidneys were virtually the size of peanuts and were functioning at only 20% of their capacity. My whole world came crashing down on me in an instant," she recalls.
Rosa's healthcare journey is nothing short of miraculous – she was given the gift of life not once, but twice. After dialysis was no longer effective, a transplant became her only option. With luck on her side, a match was found within two months to the day that her name was placed on the waiting list. Rosa underwent a successful transplant, which she lived with for nine years until she experienced kidney failure again. To make matters even worse, she had contracted Hepatitis C, most likely through a tainted blood transfusion, and she now needed a liver transplant as well. The catch: both organs needed to be a match and from the same donor.
"When I got the news, there were so many emotions running through me – shock, disbelief, and fear," she says. Rosa started hemodialysis treatments and struggled to keep a positive attitude. "I treated my trips to the Royal Victoria Hospital at the MUHC as if I was going to work. I would get dressed up and put a bit of makeup on. I was living my life and I told myself that I wasn't going to die in a dialysis chair," she says.
After two years, Rosa got the good news that a match had been found. Rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night, it was only as she was waiting to go into the operating room, that she received a crushing blow: both organs were not a perfect match. "It was the worst day of my life," she says. With her body getting weaker, time was quickly running out, and Rosa was eventually given one more month to live. She accepted her fate. "I was so lucky to have been able to live as long as I had because quite frankly, I should have been dead. I was ok with dying," she says. Then, four months after the false match, she got the call, and this time, it was for real. Although her immune system was compromised, Rosa's doctors at the MUHC insisted that she would pull through this risky and complex double transplant – and she did.
Since the day of her last surgery, Rosa has vowed to do everything in her power to support other patients who are in need of a transplant. For the past 19 years, she has organized the annual Celebration of Life fundraising event at the Le Crystal reception hall. This year's edition will be held on Friday, October 12 and will mark the initiative's emerald anniversary. What started as a small get together between transplant patients has now grown into so much more. "Celebration of Life is not your typical fundraising event, it is truly patient-focused. Doctors, nurses and patients all mingle and sit together, and there is a wonderful sense of community that is fostered," Rosa explains.
At each edition, Rosa ensures that a member of the transplant community in Montreal is recognized for their efforts. "Over the years, we have honoured surgeons, nurses, technicians, organizations, and live donors," she explains. This year, the event will be honouring the work of Transplant Quebec.
Since its inception, Celebration of Life has raised over $1 million dollars, which has gone directly towards improving patient care within the transplant unit at the MUHC. From purchasing new equipment to funding research and supporting patient education initiatives, the impact that Rosa continues to make is impressive. "Not a day goes by that I don't think of my donor family. If I know that someone needs something, I will go into debt to make sure that the person has it," she says.
Although there will be a few more bells and whistles at this year's edition as part of its 20th Anniversary, what will remain the same is the passion and dedication that Rosa puts into making the event a tremendous success year after year. "I was fortunate to be given the gift of life and I have been blessed to be able to give back as much as I have. I believe so much in the cause," she says.


'Christmas in May' is the unofficial catchphrase of this year's Federal Budget (given a Federal election is on the horizon), but officially it's being referred to by the Government as a 'Plan for a Stronger Economy'.
The 2018-19 Federal Budget, delivered on 8 May 2018 by Treasurer Scott Morrison, saw many proposed measures announced. These proposed measures carry on with the main principles that underpinned last year's Federal Budget, e.g. stronger growth, guaranteeing the essentials and living within our means.
Below is an overview of some of the main proposed measures that may be relevant to you and your personal finances.
The Government has restated its commitment to returning the budget to surplus. Based on forward estimates and the medium term, the budget is forecasted for a: $14.5 billion deficit in 2018-19; $2.2 billion surplus in 2019-20; $11 billion surplus in 2020-21; $16.6 billion surplus in 2021-22. Importantly, the budget surplus is set to occur a year earlier than previously promised.
•	≤$37,000, a benefit of up to $200.
•	Between $37,000 and $48,000, the value of the offset will increase at a rate of 3 cents per dollar to the maximum benefit of $530.
•	From $48,000 to $90,000, the maximum benefit of $530.
•	From $90,001 to $125,333, the offset will phase out at a rate of 1.5 cents per dollar.
•	The top threshold of the 19% tax bracket will be increased to $41,000 (currently $37,000).
•	The Low Income Tax Offset will be increased from $445 to $645 (and withdrawn at a rate of 6.5 cents per dollar between incomes of $37,000 and $41,000, and at a rate of 1.5 cents per dollar between incomes of $41,000 and $66,667).
•	The top threshold of the 32.5% tax bracket will be further increased to $120,000 (from the proposed $90,000 in 2018-19).
•	The 37% tax bracket will be removed.
•	The top threshold of the 32.5% tax bracket will be further increased to $200,000, which will mean that the top marginal tax rate of 45% will be paid by those taxpayers that exceed this amount.
*This will be received as a lump sum on assessment after an individual lodges their tax return. Furthermore, this is in addition to the existing Low Income Tax Offset.
•	The Medicare levy rate will not be increasing from 2% to 2.5% of taxable income from 1 July 2019; however, this will not impact the funding of the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
•	From the 2017-18 income year, the Medicare levy low-income thresholds will increase for singles (from $21,655 to $21,980), families* (from $36,541 to $37,089), and seniors and pensioners [from $34,244 to $34,758 (single) and from $47,670 to $48,385 (family)].
*For each dependent child or student, the threshold increases by a further $3,406, (previously $3,356).
From 1 May 2018, supplementary amounts (e.g. pension supplement and rent assistance) of Veteran Payments paid to a veteran, and full payments (inclusive of the supplementary component) made to the spouse/partner of a veteran who dies, will be exempt from income tax.
From 1 July 2019, expenses associated with holding vacant land will cease to be deductible if the land is not being used to carry on a business.
The $20,000 instant asset write-off will be extended by a further 12 months to 30 June 2019 for businesses with aggregated annual turnover less than $10 million.
From 1 July 2019, there will be a limit imposed of $10,000 for cash payments made to businesses for goods and services; they can only be paid electronically or via cheque. However, transactions with financial institutions or consumer to consumer non-business transactions will not be subject to this cash limit.
From 1 July 2019, anti-avoidance measures will be extended to family trusts engaging in 'round robin' arrangements whereby the trusts act as beneficiaries of each other and the distribution is ultimately returned to the original trustee tax free.
Applying to payments made from 1 July 2019, Managed Investment Trusts (MITs) and Attribution MITs will no longer be able to apply the 50% capital gains discount at the trust level; ensuring that income is taxed in the hands of investors, as if they had invested directly.
•	Insurance within superannuation will be offered on an opt-in basis for members that have low balances (<$6,000), are under the age of 25 years and/or have accounts that have not received a contribution in 13 months and are inactive.
•	A 3% annual cap on passive fees charged by superannuation funds on accounts that have low balances (<$6,000).
•	A ban on exit fees on all superannuation accounts.
•	Inactive superannuation accounts that have low balances (<$6,000) will be required to be transferred to the ATO, and the ATO will be given greater capacity to proactively reunite Australians (and their active account) with their lost and inactive superannuation.
From 1 July 2019, there will be an exemption from the work test for voluntary contributions to superannuation, for people aged 65-74 with superannuation balances below $300,000, in the first year that they do not meet the work test requirements. However, existing annual concessional (and, the carry forward rules) and non-concessional contribution cap limits will continue to apply to the contributions permitted by the exemption.
From 1 July 2019, the maximum number of allowable members in new and existing self-managed superannuation funds and small APRA funds will increase from four to six.
From 1 July 2019, the annual audit requirement for self-managed superannuation funds will be changed to a three-yearly for those with a history of good record-keeping and compliance.
From 1 July 2018, individuals who earn over $263,157 and have multiple employers will be allowed to nominate that their wages from certain employers are not subject to the superannuation guarantee (SG). Due to this, employees who use this measure could negotiate to receive additional income, which is taxed at marginal tax rates.
•	The transition to retirement income stream rules relating to the death of a member.
•	Addressing double taxation in respect of deferred annuities purchased by a superannuation fund or retirement savings account.
To support employees aged 45-70 to remain in the workforce, the Government will provide funding to establish the Skills Checkpoint for Older Workers Program. This will mean, starting from 1 September 2018, 5,000 employees each year would be entitled to receive customised career advice on transitioning into new roles, or their pathways to a new career, including referrals to relevant training options.
The Government will provide funding to support mature age Australians, aged 45 years and over, to adapt to the transitioning economy and develop the skills needed to remain in work. This includes targeted funding, for example, to those considering early retirement or who are retrenched to look at alternatives to remain in employment.
•	The Pension Work Bonus will increase from $250 to $300 per fortnight to allow pensioners (and self-employed retirees) to earn up to $7,800 each year without affecting their pension.
•	The Government will introduce a 'retirement income covenant' requiring superannuation trustees to formulate a retirement income strategy for their members and offer 'Comprehensive Income Products for Retirement' (CPIRs), which provide an income for life, regardless how long the member lives.
•	Pension means test concessions will be introduced to encourage the development and take-up of pooled lifetime retirement income products that help retirees manage longevity risk. Only 60% of the assets and income from a qualifying income stream would be assessable, reducing to 30% from age 84 or a minimum of 5 years.
•	The Pension Loans Scheme will be expanded to everyone over Age Pension age, allowing homeowners to borrow a fortnightly amount that tops up their Age Pension to 150% of the Age Pension rate (increased from 100%). The loan is paid fortnightly, is tax-free and currently attracts compound interest of 5.25% on the outstanding balance.
•	The Government will deliver an additional 14,000 new high level home care packages over four years from 2018-19. Furthermore, 13,500 residential aged care places and 775 short-term restorative care places in the 2018-19 Aged Care Approvals Round will be released.
•	From 1 July 2018, the Residential Care and Home Care programs will be combined.
Whilst there were many other proposed measures in the 2018-19 Federal Budget, we have focused predominantly on the ones that may relate to you and your personal finances. Other measures not mentioned include, for example, the infrastructure spend on road and rail projects (i.e. Melbourne Airport Rail Link, Bruce Highway, Perth Metronet, and Western Sydney Airport), funding for schools, public hospitals, and regulators, to name a few.

This is a collection of common issues faced by users and ways to debug them.

Depending on the deployment setup, the issue could be either with heapster, cadvisor, kubernetes, or the monitoring backend.

### Heapster Core

#### Common Problems

* Some distros (including Debian) ship with memory accounting disabled by default. To enable memory and swap accounting on the nodes, follow [these instructions](https://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/#memory-and-swap-accounting).

#### Validate

Heapster exports a '/validate' endpoint that will provide some information about its current state.

#### Extra Logging

If the '/validate' endpoint does not provide enough information, additional logging can be enabled by setting an extra flag. This requires restarting heapster though.
Add `--vmodule=*=4` flag to heapster. When using the docker image or when running in kubernetes, pass an extra environment variable `FLAGS="--vmodule=*=4`.
If you are running heapster on kubernetes, the environment variable needs to be added to the `env` section in [heapster-controller.json](../deploy/kube-config/standalone/heapster-controller.json).

### InfluxDB & Grafana

Ensure Influxdb is up and reachable. Heapster attempts to create a database by default, which will fail eventually after a fixed number of retries.
If the Grafana queries are stuck or slow, it is due to InfluxDB being unresponsive. Consider providing InfluxDB more compute resources (CPU and Memory).
The default database on Influxdb is 'k8s'.
A `list series` query on 'k8s' database should list all the series being pushed by heapster. If you do not see any series, take a look at heapster logs.

Although faced with a situation in which law enforcement officials were reluctant to use force against their own neighbors, Gov. Wendell Anderson declined to intervene. But when the fall of 1976 turned to winter, a new governor took office: a former Iron Range dentist named Rudy Perpich.
Undated — Perpich was a fervent populist, the son of a Croatian immigrant miner.
"Rudy had an enormous faith in his ability to deal with people directly," his policy aide, Ronnie Brooks, remembers. "He thought of himself as representative of the People, with a capital P, not of the bureaucracy or the bigwigs or the business people, and so he had I think a great hope and belief that he could get people together and solve the problems."
Barely more than a week after he took office, Perpich disappeared from the Governor's Mansion, without telling Brooks or any of his staff.
"We went off the to the National Governors' Association. He said he'd meet us there, and then instead... he went out to the country," said Brooks.
Perpich drove an unmarked car to west central Minnesota and drove from farm to farm, stopping to ask directions of startled citizens. No one in state government knew where he was until he returned to the Capitol a day and a half later.
Over the next year, he slipped away from the Governor's Mansion and visited farmers in central Minnesota several more times.
An editorial cartoon in the Minneapolis Tribune showed a farmer in overalls standing by a wood stove, peering through a window.
The caption read, "Quick Martha, hide! Here comes the governor again!"
Among the farmers who received surprise visits were Virgil and Jane Fuchs. "We were out doing chores, and there was strange car sitting by the house, and I walked in the house and here Gov. Perpich was sitting in the chair, at the location you're sitting now and our parish priest was sitting next to him," Virgil recalled recently.
"Our parish priest had said he was coming out and he had someone with him, but he wouldn't tell me who he was. And I didn't know it was Gov. Perpich until they were standing at the door," Jane said.
As the Fuchs remember it, Perpich sympathized with their plight. He told them "You guys really got stuck in this case," they say.
But as Jane Fuchs put it in an interview a few months later, "We've got his sympathy, but we want justice now."


Delizioso! Nothing like homemade pasta! Grandma DiDi and the cub took on the task of making homemade whole wheat pasta and boy was it worth it! All the while, the cub learned about the time and energy it takes to prepare and cook noodles.
The cub was feeling brave today and decided to work with the food processor. In goes the flour.
Then the eggs and a little water!
The cub watches while Grandma DiDi mixes the dough. The cub stands back, but isn't as intimidated this time around.
Grandma DiDi rolls out the dough.
Now it's the cubs turn to pat the dough and shape it so it can rest for an hour.
The cub delicately wraps the dough with plastic wrap.
Time to feed the dough through the Kitchenaid pasta attachment.
After a few passes, the dough stretches out nice and long! Almost time to feed through the noodle press. The cub enjoys her duty of helping hold the dough with her hands.
The cub got to pick between fettuccini and spaghetti… she chose Fettuccini and was eager to help feed it thought the roller.
All done and the cub wants me to see her finished work!
And we had enough dough to make spaghetti!
Lunch is served! Our version of Caccio e pepe! We added oil, butter, salt, pepper, parmesan and peas! Make your own creation and share it with us!
Combine in bowl or food processor the flour, eggs and salt. Run machine until it forms ball of dough and it doesn't stick to fingers or blade. Add water, teaspoon at a time, until this occurs (took more water with the whole wheat flour than with all-purpose). When dough has formed, pat into flat disk and dust with some extra flour. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest at room temp for one hour.
Using a kitchenaid mixer with correct attachments: After dough has rested for an hour, cut dough into about 6 equal pieces (keep the rest covered). Press one piece of dough down with the heel of your palm until it flattens, then run it through the pasta machine on level one. I needed to do level 1 several times with the whole wheat pasta, folding over once or twice to get the consistency correct. Run dough sheets through every level (up to6 or 7) at least once or twice until you have achieved desired consistency. Towards the end, sheets become very long and it's necessary to gently carry them on the backs of your hands. If dough becomes sticky dust with a little flour.
You can use the flat sheets for lasagna – no pre cooking needed. We changed the attachment and fed the sheets through to make fettuccini and spaghetti.
Cook noodles in boiling, salted water for about 3 minutes and serve with your favorite sauce/toppings.
All pasta should be cooked right away or refrigerated in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
Staying creative with meals can be a challenge, allowing us to easily fall into the same routine – I'm very guilty of this! This wrap is easy and uses items you probably already have in your refrigerator.
The cub loves sour foods, i.e., lemon, vinegar, etc. So when thinking of something that would fit her palate, we decided to make a sweet and sour tasting wrap! The perfect balance in flavor and nutrition.
The cub began by helping Grandma DiDi cut up the strawberries.
Next up, Grandma DiDi made the ricotta spread. She used regular ricotta cheese and added honey .
The cub loves lemon, so we zested a lemon and added it to the ricotta spread to create a light balance that was slightly sweet with the zesty brightness of the citrus.
The cub must try it to make sure it's just right! She approves!
Grandma DiDi grabs a lavash wrap and spreads the ricotta on one side.
Next, the cub layers spinach leaves on the ricotta.
Strawberries go really well with a balsamic dressing so we added that to give it a bit more flavor. The cub helps drip it on the strawberries. It's almost time to eat!
Such fun watching it roll up. Some of the ingredients fell out the side and the cub helped push them back in as Grandma DiDi rolled it up.
Dig in! A perfectly balanced snack or lunch that is sure to satisfy your sweet and sour cravings!
Cut the lavash in half, crosswise.
Mix the ricotta cheese with honey and lemon zest and set aside. Wash the strawberries and slice.
Make dressing by mixing vinegar, oil and salt and pepper.
To assemble, spread half of the ricotta on top half of the lavash as well as the one inch portion on other end to create a glue when you roll it into a wrap.
Cover the ricotta with a thin layer of spinach.
Cover the spinach with a thin layer of strawberries.
Drizzle with as much balsamic dressing as you would like and roll up.
Cut in half at an angle or into two inch rings.
Remaining dressing can be used for dipping on the side.
Easter is upon us, and before you run out to the store to grab everything you need for the celebrations, consider jazzing up your deviled egg recipe by adding some bunny faces to them.
After the eggs had been hard-boiled and cooled, the cub got right into rolling and peeling them. It took a few tries until she understood how to roll them under her palm. On this particular day she woke up feeling like a princess, so, of course, she needed to dress the part.
Grandma DiDi then demonstrated how to cut them in half. With a little bit of help, the cub did an excellent job.
Grandma DiDi showed the cub how to pop the yolk out of the egg white. The cub watched intently.
Now it's the cubs turn. This took patience and practice.
One for you, one for me. The cub is always tasting the food we make.
Now for the additions to the deviled egg mix. The Cub and her knife skills went to work. Chopping the celery to add to the mix was easy.
This Cinderella princess is right at ease stirring up a batch of deviled eggs.
Pausing to smell the ingredients is a MUST. The cub helps us chop some dill for the deviled egg mix and I think we will also use some for whiskers.
Next up the cub chopped up some olives for the deviled egg bunny decorations. We think we will use them for eyes and maybe a nose!
We let the cub design her own, but for our finished product, Grandma DiDi took over the assembly of the bunnies.
We hope you enjoy the day with friends and family!
Bring eggs to a gentle boil for about 10 minutes then let them sit in the hot water for about another 5, covered. Cool them completely in an ice bath for 10 minutes.
Peel eggs and slice them lengthwise in half.
Remove yolks and place in a medium size bowl. Smash well with a fork.
Add yogurt, mayonnaise and mustard to the egg yolks and blend well. Add more or less depending on the consistency you prefer.
Fill the egg white halves with prepared yolk mixture using a small spoon or pastry bag.
Decorate the eggs with eyes, nose, whiskers and a smile using your choice of toppings.
Anyone else on an endless cycle of colds with their little ones this season? The cub has had her fair share of sickness. A balanced, healthy diet can help boost your immune system, so we are doing all we can to help the cub during this season.
For centuries soup has been regarded as a cold fighting food. To back up this theory, we dive into the nutritional benefits of each ingredient.
The cub learns about thyme and how to strip it. Grandma DiDi models and the cub follows along.
The cub always smell new ingredients she uses. It activates more than one sense in the cub helping her to fully understand it.
Thyme: The flowers, leaves, and oil of thyme have been used to treat bedwetting, diarrhea, stomach ache, arthritis, colic, sore throat, cough, including whooping-cough, bronchitis, flatulence, and as a diuretic, to increase urination.
Next up, the cub chops the zucchini. If you have been following along, you will notice the cub has improved on her knife skills. We're so proud!
Zucchini: Already being an outstanding source of manganese and vitamin C, zucchini is also contains vitamin A, magnesium, folate, potassium, copper, and phosphorus.
The cub moves onto chopping the bell peppers. Check out those knife skills!
Along with smelling our ingredients, we eat them, too, to make sure they are delicious.
Bell peppers: are rich in many vitamins and antioxidants, especially vitamin C and various carotenoids.
Grandma DiDi helped chop the rest of ingredients with a quick kiss to show love and appreciation for one another.
Onion: An onion contains fiber and folic acid, and B vitamin that helps the body make healthy new cells.
Carrots: Most of the benefits of carrots can be attributed to their beta-carotene and fiber content. These root vegetables are also a good source of antioxidants, vitamin A, C, K, and B8, as well as pantothenic acid, folate, potassium, iron, copper, and manganese.
Potato: Potatoes offer the body fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin C and iron, and are an excellent source of potassium.
Celery: The benefits of celery begin with it being an excellent source of antioxidants and beneficial enzymes, in addition to vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, folate and vitamin B6.
Tomatoes: Are a good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), Vitamin K, Thiamin, Niacin, Calcium, Magnesium and Manganese, and a very good source of Vitamin C, Iron, Potassium and Copper.
Once again, the cub tests out how celery leaves taste. Eat your antioxidants, little one!
We added all the yummy ingredients to a pot to cook. Can you smell the aroma? Delicious!
Grandma DiDi made her own vegetable broth and added it to the soup. You can also use store-bought. The cub watches with curiosity.
Time to add our noodles. We decided to use Eden Organic Pasta Vegetable Noodles for our soup. Bonus points for adding a learning component to the soup!
In they go from the loving arms of Grandma DiDi.
The final product that's filled with so much goodness. Add fresh lemon for added Vitamin C – a proven way to help boost your immune system and a brightened flavor in whatever you're eating!
Add whatever veggies you want, spinach, Swiss chard, turnips, parsnips, etc.
Put oil in large dutch oven pot or pan.
Add onion, celery, and carrots and saute until softened (about 5 – 10 min) over medium heat.
Add peppers, zucchini and potatoes with thyme and cook another 5 minutes.
Pour in tomatoes and broth and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add noodles and cook about 10 minutes (or per package direction of noodles).
Note: I have found that packaged vegetable broths taste terrible. So as I cook I throw all leftover trimmings of veggies I have (carrot ends, stems of parsley, and other herbs, etc) into a plastic bag and put them in the freezer. I add to them and then put them in a pot with water and some fresh garlic, onion, peppercorns, bay leaves etc) and simmer for a while then strain. Freeze and use when needed.
Also noodles in broth will continue to soak up the water/broth until there is no more liquid. It's best to eat soup with pasta first couple days. You can freeze, but the noodles don't always hold up well structurally, although they still taste wonderful.
We are big fans of lazycatkitchen.com and her plant-based recipes! Grandma DiDi made these a while back for a baby shower and they were a hit. Light, delicious and healthy. So when trying to think of a healthy lunch option for the cub, these popped up! The cub is a big fan of sushi and we always like introducing new ideas to her.
To truly make sticky quinoa for the sushi, we dissolved miso in water to add to the quinoa while it cooked. The cub helps stir it up and watches it dissolve.
She ate them all! She loves anything pickled. Remember the pickled veggies we made a few weeks ago. Obsessed! I'm not upset about it as it is great for her overall gut health and making them ourselves cuts down on the salt!
Back to work! Cutting more veggies. Almost ready to make the sushi.
Grandma DiDi took the quinoa off the stove so it can cool before it goes on the nori. If we add it too soon, it would ruin the nori. While we wait, the cub helps get the rolling station set up. Such a great helper.
Quinoa is all cool. Grandma DiDi spreads it in an even layer on the nori while the cub eats more carrots.
Add whatever combination of veggies you would like. We did raw beets and cucumber with pickled carrots and some avocado. We also tried another one that included raw beet kraut.
The cub is very interested in the rolling. "Grandma, you're doing it", yells the cub.
"SUSHI"!!! Grandma DiDi shows the cub how to cut it into bite-sized rolls. Almost time to eat!
So simple, yet so wholesome and delicious. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce and you have an excellent lunch.
Rinse your quinoa. Dissolve miso paste in ½ cup of water. Place rinsed quinoa in a pot with a see-through lid. Add dissolved miso paste and an extra 1 and ¾ cup of water to the pot. Put the lid on and bring quinoa to the boil. Once it starts boiling, turn the heat right down to simmer. Simmer (with a lid on) until all of the water has been absorbed. Once quinoa absorbs all the water (tilt the pot slightly to check if there is any water left in it), turn the heat off and leave the pot (DO NOT LIFT THE LID) on a hot hob for about 5-10 mins so that quinoa finishes cooking in its own steam. Make sure you cool it down completely before making sushi rolls or else nori sheets will become soggy.
Time to roll your sushi – Wrap your sushi mat (bamboo mat or folded kitchen towel) in a large piece of saran wrap. Put the mat down, put a nori sheet on top of the mat, shiny side down. Grab some quinoa with a spoon and spread it evenly on the nori sheet leaving a 1 cm margin at the very top, for sealing. As well as spreading the quinoa evenly, keep on pressing it into the mat with the back of a spoon.
Using the mat, slowly start rolling the nori, squeezing it tightly with both hands as you roll. Go back every now and then to make sure everything is tightly bonded.
Once you get to the end, dip your finger in water and brush the water on the margin to seal the roll. Finish rolling and set the roll aside.
Cut them into 1 cm slices with a sharp knife. Serve with a side of tamari (or soy sauce) and wasabi if desired.
We're back! Excuse our short break… we've been dreaming up new recipes that we can't wait to share!
I don't know about you, but Trader Joe's (TJ's) is life changing for us. They just know how to make life easier! Although I would love to make homemade pizza dough, TJ's has pre-made bags of dough in the refrigerator section. Everything in this recipe is from Trader Joe's so enjoy some one-stop shopping.
We used TJ's whole wheat pizza dough. They also have plain and garlic herb. We started by washing our hands, getting them extra dry and then covering them with flour. This, of course, was the cubs favorite part.
Kneading the dough is important, and turns out, lots of fun!
Good Job, Cub! That looks like its ready to roll out.
Another fun tool to use – a rolling pin! The cub took this step very seriously.
Pat, pat, pat… it's ready for sauce!
We grabbed a bag of pre-washed spinach leaves at TJ's and thought it would be a great idea to chop it up and add it to the sauce. Hidden veggies is my thing.
The cub spreads on the sauce perfectly.
Now for the cheese! We used a few different kinds of shredded cheese from TJ's. We had a little extra dough so we rolled it out, sprinkled them with cheese and added them to the oven as well. The Cub enjoyed dipping them into the sauce or 'dip dip' as the cub would say.
Yummy! For added flavor, we added Everything But the Bagel seasoning to the breadsticks. If you haven't tried Everything but the Bagel seasoning at TJ's, go buy some now! It can be added to anything.
We cut dough into two equal parts for easy handling.
Flour your work surface with 1 – 2 tbsp flour. Knead dough until it is workable. Roll or manipulate into shape of choice.
Chop 1 cup of spinach and mix into sauce. Spread the sauce onto the dough in an even layer.
Add additional toppings of your choice.
Bake in the over for 12- 15 minutes or the crust is golden brown.
Better known as Pear, Pomegranate and Roasted Butternut Squash salad with Maple Sesame Vinaigrette from the spiralizer inspired blog Inspiralized.com. If you were to say the full name to your toddler, they may have a confused look on their face. So we toddlerized the title to simply, Ribbon Salad!
Getting kids to eat veggies has to be fun! Using tools, like a spiralizer changes the way a child thinks about eating. It's different, creative and fun!
Grandma DiDi peeled and spiralized the butternut squash. After tossing it with oil, salt and pepper, she popped it in the oven to roast.
While the butternut squash roasted, we made the maple sesame vinaigrette. Once again, the cub is mesmerized by the garlic press.
Measuring out ingredients always makes the cub feel part of the process. At two-years-old, she's very independent and loves to do things by herself.
Stir, stir and look cute.
With the dressing complete, Grandma DiDi shows the cub how to make ribbons out of an asian pear. The texture of an Asian pear is firmer than a regular pear so it holds up to the spiralizer.
The cub is so proud of the finished product! So is Grandma.
Time to give it a try!
We added all the ingredients to the bowl which has the dressing at the bottom.
In goes the pomegranate seeds and arugula.
Toss and get ready to enjoy!
To add to the experience and FUN, the cub ate her salad with chopsticks. Never underestimate how creativity in the kitchen can influence your child to eat.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the butternut squash noodles. Coat lightly with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper and roast for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through but still al dente.
While the squash cooks, combine all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette.
Spiralize the pear and add to a large mixing bowl with the arugula and walnuts. Once butternut squash is done, add it to the large bowl, toss with vinaigrette thoroughly.

Lakeland Born & Former Mulberry Youth Justin Forsett Retires From The NFL After 9 Years

Justin Forsett is calling it a career. The veteran running back announced his retirement on Wednesday after nine seasons in the NFL. According to an article on NFL.Com Forsett said "It's Time". He announced his retirement on a website called "Sports Spectrum".
Forsett was born in Lakeland, Florida. He moved to Arlington, Texas in his sophomore year of high school after living in Mulberry. He played college football at California and was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL Draft. Forsett also played for the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, and Denver Broncos.
"It's time. I'm officially announcing my retirement from the game I love. It's been an amazing ride and I'm grateful for every moment. My career has brought so many great people into my life, and I asked some of them to join me in saying goodbye.
Against all odds, critics, and naysayers, I accomplished something great. Scouts measured my height and said I was too short. They measured my 40-yard dash and said I was too slow. They looked at my build and said I wouldn't last. But they couldn't measure my heart, my faith, and my perseverance.
I am living proof that dreams come true and God answers prayers, and I thank God everyday for the opportunity to live out my dream."
"It wasn't until 2014 at age 29 that Forsett proved them all wrong. A 1,266-yard, eight-touchdown campaign served as a bright spot for the 10-6 Ravens. It was a career apex that Forsett can happily take into retirement, which he officially announced on Wednesday." – NFL.Com (Complete Article Here)
Justin credits all his success to his relationship with God.

Already ranked as one of the best and most affordable programs in Michigan by organizations such as College Affordability Guide and The Best Schools, Davenport's bachelor's in health services administration just got even more accessible and affordable.
Through a new completion opportunity, people who have an associate degree and are working as a licensed or credentialed health care professional can begin work on their bachelor's with 73 of the required 120 credits already earned. This head start is accomplished via 60 transfer credits for an associate degree and 13 advanced standing credits for current professional credentials or licensing, leaving just 17 courses to complete.
As a result, people who already have great clinical skills — i.e., medical assistants, radiology professionals, dental assistants, associate degree nurses and other certified health care professionals – can more easily advance their careers by gaining the specialized knowledge and skills required for management positions, reports Linda Sorensen, department chair and interim associate dean.
"If you meet the criteria, the number of credit hours you need to take is significantly reduced. So you can complete the degree by taking fewer classes, which translates to less cost as well," she says. What's more, it's possible to earn the degree entirely online if that's preferred to attending on-campus classes.
Data indicate strong job growth in health services administration, with even more to come. Employment of medical and health managers is projected to increase 20 percent between 2016-2026, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That makes this new completion program a timely response to a fast-growing employment trend, offering advantages to students as well as health care organizations with jobs to fill.

Calls for investors to join the "new momentum"
President Cyril Ramaphosa has called on investors to join in the new momentum and look south.
Addressing Brand South Africa's interactive breakfast session held on the side-lines of the World Economic Forum Africa in Cape Town on Wednesday, the President said South Africa is a fertile ground for new investment and the country is also addressing constraints to growth.
This session took place a day after Statistics South Africa announced that the country's economy grew by 3.1% in the second quarter of 2019 – between April and June.
"Investing in South Africa is not just about securing decent returns. It is also about staking a claim in the future of a great nation that has the means and the drive to become one of the world's most vibrant economies.
"An economy that is fertile ground for companies and businesses who are prepared to invest in human capital to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the 4th Industrial Revolution.
"I call on all investors present here today, particularly local investors, to be part of this new momentum," he said.
The session was held under the theme: Enhancing the ease of doing business in South Africa.
President Ramaphosa said in partnership with the private sector and NEDLAC, government is working to implement the agreements of last year's Jobs Summit.
On Monday, government held the first monthly meeting with leaders of business, labour and communities to tackle the country's employment crisis.
Over the next few months, the committee will address key constraints to greater investment and growth, such as the cost of doing business, security of electricity supply and policy uncertainty.
"Each meeting will focus on a particular sector of the economy where intervention is needed to prevent job losses and stimulate far greater job creation.
"This approach is informed by our determination that we can only address the challenges we confront through partnership.
"We will only be able to meet our targets if we have all sectors of society on board, including the private sector, which is the main source of job creation," he said.
Shortly after the President's address, businessman Andile Khumalo moderated a panel discussion which included Tourism Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane, ABSA chairwoman Wendy Lucas-Bull, JSE CFO Aarti Takoordeen and economist Thabi Leoka.
Ngubane-Kubayi said while she got insights about how some countries, like France for example, believed that South Africa was an expensive country to visit. She said government was making the country attractive to come to and cited the recent reforms in the VISA regulations.
Leoka said foreign, as well as domestic investors were selling bonds and equities.
While Leoka said to attract investment would mean SA needs to get its house in order and address domestic concerns, Lucas-Bull said there was a need to ensure that the country was able to deliver basic services by investing in human capital.
She said, for example, municipal officials that get caught with their hands in the cookie jar must be let go.
In response, the President said he was concerned about the net investment outflow of R53 billion.
He said government was hard at work to reposition South Africa as a preferred destination for investment and that he was glad that last year, South Africa was able to secure a commitment of up to $30 billion flowing in.
He was hopeful that this year's investment conference would yield the same results.
On the issue of corruption, the President said people who have done certain things need to stand up and be accountable.
