Michigan Sports Bettors Are Flocking To Casey Mize's Longshot AL Cy Young Odds
Written By Drew Ellis on April 22, 2021
It hasn't been a great week for the Detroit Tigers. But that's not stopping Michigan sports bettors from being enthusiastic about the potential of young star Casey Mize.
The Tigers snapped a five-game losing streak on Wednesday night, but their bleak record of 7-11 entering Thursday already has fans looking ahead.
However, the former No. 1 pick is opening some eyes at the betting window.
Mize getting nearly half of one sportsbook's AL Cy Young wagers
Clearly, Tigers fans are feeling good about Mize for the 2021 MLB season.
The latest numbers from BetMGM Sportsbook show Mize running away from the 2021 AL Cy Young field with the most tickets wagered to be the winner.
Mize is getting 47% of the bets for the category, yet his moves aren't budging from the +5000 mark BetMGM is listing.
Gerrit Cole of the New York Yankees is the favorite at +300. Cleveland Indians starter Shane Bieber is next at +350. Tyler Glasnow of the Tampa Bay Rays has odds of +600.
Cole is getting the second-highest percentage of the tickets at 16.3%.
While Mize has nearly half of the wagers, he is getting just 6.8% of the handle. That ratio indicates that most of the bets are small amounts, likely from the fan base trying to cash in on the long odds.
Cole has just 16% of the tickets, but he is accounting for a whopping 80.3% of the handle.
Cole remains the biggest liability for sportsbooks, but Mize is the second-largest liability in the Cy Young race.
Regular season better than spring for Casey Mize
Given the rough spring training Mize had, his regular season has provided a lot more optimism.
Thus far, Mize has made three starts and has a 1-1 record with a 3.38 ERA.
During spring training, Mize had an awful 7.23 ERA and 1.77 WHIP over 18.2 innings of work. He did strike out 27 batters, but also walked 11.
To start the regular season, Mize went four innings in his debut against the Minnesota Twins, allowing just one earned run on five hits with four strikeouts and two walks.
His April 12 start against the Houston Astros was his best outing. Mize threw seven scoreless innings, allowing four hits while walking just two with five strikeouts for his lone win thus far.
Last Saturday, Mize suffered his first loss. He gave up five runs over five innings on seven hits. The Oakland Athletics homered three times on Mize, and he struck out just four.
Strikeouts are going to be Mize's strength, but just 13 through three games is not even registering in the top 50 of MLB.
Uphill climb toward Cy Young Award
Sportsbooks probably aren't shaking in their boots at the prospect of Mize taking home the AL Cy Young.
Other front-runners have far stronger numbers out of the gate and are on teams better assembled for postseason success in 2021.
As the current favorite, Cole has a 2-1 record, with a 1.82 ERA and 39 strikeouts to just three walks. All are stronger than Mize, and Cole already has name recognition to rely on.
Bieber, the 2020 AL Cy Young winner, is off to a 2-1 start as well. He has a league-best 48 strikeouts in 29.1 innings, along with a 2.45 ERA.
Glasnow, another favorite, has an ERA of 0.73 through four starts. He has 36 strikeouts to just seven walks.
With Mize being so young, and on a team that doesn't look to be a contender, his numbers will have to be off the charts to make that Cy Young dent.
Wins aren't likely going to tally up, either, with Detroit ranking 26th in baseball in terms of run production.
Outside of the COVID-shortened 2020 season, the last nine AL Cy Young winners have had at least 18 wins. Twelve of the past 13 winners have had an ERA below 3.00.
The Tigers organization also isn't likely to be too risky with Mize this season in terms of pushing him deep into the pitch count. They also won't take any risks when it comes to minor injuries.
The stars really need to align for this bet to payoff and do a big number on sportsbooks.
Mize makes his next start Friday against the AL Central-leading Kansas City Royals.

A1GP: Jarvis was major loser in Team GBR collapse
By LJ Hutchins
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
The collapse of A1GP's Team GBR in April left driver Oliver Jarvis owed nearly £170,000 according to figures filed with Companies House outlining the state of its finances.
The records, filed in April and May, show administrators working towards liquidating the company after a bid to work out a voluntary arrangement with its creditors did not come to fruition and its franchise agreement was terminated.
Oliver Jarvis won glory in A1GP - but not a lot of money so far
They demonstrate that former director Tony Clements estimates that he and his partners put more than £8 million into keeping the team afloat, covering annual running costs of £2.5 million that included a £1.25 million fee for the A1 team franchise.
They say: "Mr Clements states during 2008, given the downturn in the world economy, the team began to run short of funds. Sponsorship monies had not been able to be sourced for the 2008/09 season and the shareholders had insufficient funds to continue to subsidise the team.
"In light of the shortfall in funding new investors were approached but no deal was finalised which could secure the future of the team. Therefore CMP Partners LLP were consulted with a view to placing the company into administration."
The company running the team, A1GP (UK) Limited, was found to have assets of at most £34,000, comprising items such as IT equipment and tools – and liabilities in excess of £7 million, including substantial sums owed to Tony Clements and his partners.
The administrators note that they "have requested information regarding the assets detailed in the court application and have been informed that they are currently in South Africa, although they may have subsequently been moved to Portugal."
A statement from Clements explains that the original aim was for himself and his partners to advise on financial planning and overseeing the company while British Formula One and motorcycle champion John Surtees acted as team principal.
But Surtees left the team in August 2007, to concentrate on his other business interests, including the racing career of his son Henry. Katie Clements, daughter of Tony, took over the role and held it until the termination of the team's franchise.
The creditors' list, which is publicly available from the Companies House website, shows the following:
Tony Clements is revealed to be owed more than £3 million from the company after investing his own money in keeping it afloat, while daughter Katie, former team principal and also a director, is owed £100,000. Tony Clements had also put more than £12,000 of series costs on his own credit card and was owed nearly £21,000 in expenses.
Considerable sums of money were owed to various companies connected to the A1GP brand – including £52,715.15 to A1GP Hospitality-Sterling and £149,392.78 to A1 Grand Prix Hospitality Ltd, £10,000 to the Dubai-based A1 Grand Prix, and £221,545.19 to A1 Grand Prix Operations Ltd, a UK limited company which is currently being wound up by the High Court after an application by a creditor.
Driver Oliver Jarvis was owed £37,871.14 in prize money plus a further £129,009 for unspecified reasons and £1,200.57 in expenses.
Oliver Turvey was owed £429 and Robbie Kerr £1,883.47. However rookie James Winslow, 2006 driver Darren Manning and 2009 drivers Danny Watts and Dan Clarke do not feature in the creditors' list.
By far the biggest creditors' claims outside of Tony Clements' have been made by Wade Cherwayko and Tunde Folawiyo, founders of the team alongside Clements in 2004. Cherwayko, who is the A1 Team Canada seatholder, is an oil tycoon with a keen interest in motorsport and is claiming £2,121,622.49 personally as well as £4,333.79 for the Canadian team. Folawiyo, a Nigerian businessman with interests in oil, gas, shipping, agriculture, property and engineering, is claiming £899,621.18.
A number of British motorsports and related companies feature on the creditors' list, including Arden International Motorsport Limited (£2,748.17), sports management company Eden Rock Sports Limited (£14,100), Trident Racing Supplies (£1,117.85) and The Motorsport Industry Association (£1,404.13). Substantial sums were also owed to travel and marketing companies.
The failed company left behind a tax bill of more than £3,000.

Venus Williams celebrates her victory against Ukraine's Kateryna Kozlova during their first round women's singles match at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia, on Jan. 16, 2017.
Venus Williams went onto Rod Laver Arena right after Shelby Rogers' upset win over fourth-seeded Simona Halep, a result which sent the former French Open finalist out in the first round of the Australian Open again.
Back-to-back first-round exits at the season's first major was not how Williams planned to mark her 73rd Grand Slam tournament.
"It's never easy playing the first round — you're just trying to find the rhythm," Williams said. "She played amazing. It's very satisfying to get through a match against an opponent who is on fire."
Playing just her second main draw match ever at the Australian Open, the No. 52-ranked Rogers broke the 2014 French Open finalist's serve four times. It was the second year in a row that Halep lost in the first round at Melbourne Park, and the fourth time overall.
"The biggest thing I took away from that was just that I can compete with the top players in the world and I'm good enough," Rogers said. "So I have definitely carried that away from the French Open and just been enjoying it a little bit. There has been a lot of positive feedback, which has been nice."
Halep, a two-time quarterfinalist in Australia, said she'd been hampered by pain in her left knee that was compounded by the pressure of the match.
"Definitely (Rogers) played well. I think she played very high standard," Halep said. "She was aggressive, and she hit very strong."
Australian teenager Destanee Aiava's milestone match ended in a 6-3, 7-6 (4) loss to German qualifier Mona Barthel. The 16-year-old Melbourne high school student became the first player born in this millennium to play a main draw match at a major.
Two other seeded players lost early women's matches, with Varvara Lepchenko beating No. 19 Kiki Bertens 7-5, 7-6 (5) and former No. 1-ranked Jelena Jankovic beating No. 26 Laura Siegemund 6-1, 1-6, 6-4.
On the men's side, fifth-seeded Kei Nishikori needed 3 hours, 34 minutes to beat Andrey Kuznetsov 7-5, 1-6, 6-4, 7-6 (6), 6-2.

Festival features quirky feast of drama, dance and weirdness
Offbeat festival in Oxford features drama, dance and weirdness
With more than 60 shows covering a huge range over two weeks, Oxford's Offbeat Festival is one of the most dynamic theatre events of the year. Anywhere.
The city's quirky version of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which starts today, will see dozens of productions staged at the Oxford Playhouse, Old Fire Station, the Ashmolean and elsewhere. All shows are new and most have never been seen in the city before.
Shows include drama, comedy, dance and spoken word.
They range from a dance and puppetry performance in Gloucester Green to a live poetry jukebox show at the Playhouse.
Possibly among the strangest are a PhoDOGraphy workshop, where you can watch your dog take selfies in the OFS gallery, and We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat, a comic reenactment of movie classic Jaws, which takes place in a small tent holding just 10 people.
There is also RawTransport, a show that takes audience members on a journey through virtual reality headsets.
Offbeat producer Hannah Tookey said: "I'm thrilled to have joined the Offbeat team as producer this year, after having first encountered the festival when I brought a spoken word show here in 2016.
"Working with the brilliant teams at Arts at the Old Fire Station and Oxford Playhouse is a real privilege and this is going to be a very unique two weeks in the city.
"There's such a huge range of work in Offbeat, all of which has never been seen in Oxford before, with all shows either free or affordable."
She added: "One of the most exciting elements of the festival are the outdoor and 'elsewhere' shows – performances that aren't taking place in a traditional theatre setting."
She said a highlight would be the Supported Artists programme, which provides a platform for new artists and performers: "We've selected six artists and companies with exceptional ideas and potential to develop their work to the highest standard possible in the lead up to, and during, the festival.
"This programme is about nurturing some of the most exciting emerging artists and offering them a launch pad for a new show that we hope will have a long life beyond its start in Oxford. We've also brought in experienced directors to help them with the making of their shows, lighting designers to add extra 'oomph' to the performances."

She added: "I could rave about every show in this festival. There's a huge range and I guarantee there'll be something you'll enjoy."

BREAKTHROUGH 2020 PHILIPPINES EXPAT ADVISOR
American Expat in the Philippines
Pump Boat Preacher Has Captive Audience
Author: The Kano Published Date: 02/12/2017
In the almost eight years I've lived in the Philippines, I've made hundreds of trip from Guimaras, our island province home, to nearby Iloilo City. Since Iloilo has many more shopping options than our island home, my asawa and I have found it necessary to make the 12-15 minute trip around two to four times a month. But I've never experienced what I did one junket: "Pump Boat Preacher Has Captive Audience."
BACKSLIDER GOES TO CATHOLIC CHURCH
Because I attended an Assembly of God and an Independent Pentecostal Church for over 15 years, I'm well-versed on the Scriptures and Gospel Preachers. I still hold onto my core beliefs from those years though my wife and I now attend a local mass at the Trappist Monastery in Guimaras.
Many Pentecostals might consider me a "backslider" for attending a Catholic Church. The Church is considered a cult among some Christian circles.
Since I'm well aware that Jesus teaches his followers to go out and preach the Gospel, Good News, I usually have no problem with someone doing just that.
But when you stand up in a pump boat and start addressing passengers who can't flee and risk drowning if they do, I have an issue with that.
So when a young Filipina in her late 20's or early 30's did just and then passed around an envelope after her "sermon", I had something to say.
THE KANO SPEAKS OUT
"I don't want your envelope," I loudly proclaimed. "You preach to a group of people on a pump boat that can't leave and pass around an envelope. Jesus never did that. People were free to leave if they didn't want to listen to His message."
"You don't have to give anything, sir," the young woman explained.
"That's not the problem. What church do you go to?" I asked.
"An independent Pentecostal church, sir," came the reply.
"Which one? Where at?" I pressed.
She refused to answer and walked away.
ASAWA GIVES ME A POKE
Of course, I embarrassed my poor wife…again. She poked me in the ribs in an attempt to shut me up. But I saw other passengers on the pump boat nodding in agreement to what I said.
Look, again, I have no problem with someone expressing their religious beliefs. Just don't do it on the pump boat ride from Iloilo to Guimaras if I'm a passenger. And don't pass around your envelope.

Factors Associated with HIV/AIDS Diagnostic Disclosure to HIV Infected Children Receiving HAART: A Multi-Center Study in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Diagnostic disclosure of HIV/AIDS to a child is becoming an increasingly common issue in clinical practice. Nevertheless, some parents and health care professionals are reluctant to inform children about their HIV infection status. The objective of this study was to identify the proportion of children who have knowledge of their serostatus and factors associated with disclosure in HIV-infected children receiving HAART in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in five hospitals in Addis Ababa from February 18, 2008–April 28, 2008. The study populations were parents/caretakers and children living with HIV/AIDS who were receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) in selected hospitals in Addis Ababa. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were carried out using SPSS 12.0.1 statistical software.
A total of 390 children/caretaker pairs were included in the study. Two hundred forty three children (62.3%) were between 6–9 years of age. HIV/AIDS status was known by 68 (17.4%) children, 93 (29%) caretakers reported knowing the child's serostatus two years prior to our survey, 180 (46.2%) respondents said that the child should be told about his/her HIV/AIDS status when he/she is older than 14 years of age. Children less than 9 years of age and those living with educated caregivers are less likely to know their results than their counterparts. Children referred from hospital's in-patient ward before attending the HIV clinic and private clinic were more likely to know their results than those from community clinic.
The proportion of disclosure of HIV/AIDS diagnosis to HIV-infected children is low. Strengthening referral linkage and health education tailored to educated caregivers are recommended to increase the rate of disclosure.

HIV/AIDS is increasingly affecting the health and welfare of children and undermining hard-won gains in child survival in some highly affected countries [1]. Recent estimates from the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) suggest that, globally, about 2.5 million children younger than 15 years of age are infected with HIV; 90% of whom live in sub-Saharan Africa [2]. As highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) becomes increasingly available in low-resource settings, children affected by this disease are living longer [3], experience a less symptomatic early course of the disease and survive to older ages [4], with improved quality of life [3]. Given this scenario, the question of disclosure of HIV status to infected children is becoming increasingly important. Knowledge of HIV status may affect compliance with antiretroviral therapies and influence children's participation in healthcare decision-making [3]. The American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines on disclosure of HIV illness states that all adolescents should know their HIV status, while disclosure should be considered for school-age children [5]. In Ethiopia, it is recommended that adolescents 14 years of age old and older should know their HIV status [6].
Caregivers and healthcare workers are presented with an array of challenges around disclosure, including deciding on what is in the child's best interest and when, why and how information about his/her HIV status should be shared with him/her [7]. Disclosure of a child's HIV/AIDS is becoming an increasingly common clinical issue. Nevertheless, some parents and health care professionals are reluctant to inform the affected children about it. Data from several sites in other countries indicates that between 25% and 90% of school-age children with HIV infection/AIDS have not been told that they are infected [8]–[10].
Consequently, preparing family members for the emotional impact of disclosure is a major task facing providers. Also, disclosure takes on new significance, both within and outside the family, as sexuality becomes a dominant developmental issue during adolescence [11]. In the context of HAART, disclosure may have an important impact on disease progression and clinical management [12]. However, in one study, interviewed caregivers reported low disclosure rates (9%) [13] and healthcare providers reported low levels of direct involvement in disclosure to HIV-infected children (18%) [14]. Despite the importance of HIV disclosure, there has been limited research addressing pediatric HIV/AIDS disclosure, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
Clinical setting and Sample
In Ethiopia, the health system is arranged as a four-tier system, which includes: facility, district, city (region/zone/sub) and federal which should be appropriately linked, equitably distributed and managed in a decentralized, participatory and efficient manner. The Government of Ethiopia launched fee-based antiretroviral treatment in 2003 and free HAART in 2005. As of July 2010, about 97,000 adults and 4,800 children are accessing HAART services in the country. Guidelines from the Ethiopian National Pediatric HIV/AIDS Care and Treatment Guideline recommend HAART initiation in infants <12 months of age, as well as for all infants under 12 months of age with confirmed HIV infection, irrespective of clinical or immunological stage. For children 12 months of age or older, the World Health Organization (WHO) Paediatric Clinical Stage 4 disease (irrespective of CD4), WHO Paediatric Clinical Stage 3 disease (irrespective of CD4), WHO Paediatric Clinical Stage 2 disease and CD4 value at or below threshold. WHO Paediatric Clinical Stage 1 disease and CD4 value at or below threshold, and HIV antibody positive infants <18 months of age where virologic testing is not available to confirm HIV infection should be considered for HAART if they have clinically diagnosed severe HIV disease.
The study was carried out in selected antiretroviral therapy units of 5 tertiary level general hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (Black Lion, Saint Peter, Yekatit 12, Zewditu, and ALERT) which serve as the major referral and reference hospitals in Ethiopia. According to the report obtained from registration records, at the time of the study, about 1,624 children were registered for HAART in the selected hospitals.
Of 1624 patients on HAART, 390 (100%) scheduled to present for care or pharmacy pick-ups between February 18 and April 18, 2008 fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were offered to participate. In this study most of the patients/caregivers use bus or taxi to attend the clinics.
The study design was a facility based cross-sectional study. This study was nested as part of a large Multicenter Pediatrics Cross-Sectional study that is published elsewhere [15].
Children who fulfilled the following criteria were included in the study: 1) Receiving continuous antiretroviral therapy for the past 12 weeks before the study in the selected hospitals; and 2) caregivers who had been previously counseled on the importance of drug adherence and on how to recognize common adverse drug reactions associated with antiretroviral drugs.
The study and survey instrument were approved by the Institutional Ethical Review Committee of Jimma University and Research Ethics Committee of Addis Ababa Health Bureau. Official letters of co-operation from the above organization and Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) were given to respective hospitals. Only caregivers gave written consent for participation in the study. Data were collected by five trained HIV counselors, who were trained on how to interview caregivers with sensitivity, empathy and without expressing judgment. Interviews were carried out privately in a separate room in the Hospital where participants were recruited. In order to ensure participants' confidentiality, no names or personal identifiers were included in the written questionnaires. Identification of an informant was only possible through numerical codes.
The outcome for this study was disclosure of HIV/AIDS serostatus to the participating children. Data was collected by structured questionnaire that had not been previously validated, which was originally developed in English and later translated to Amharic and retranslated back to English by a different person to check for consistency. The content of the questionnaire included: socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics, medication related factors, health care delivery system related factors, which included access to care, quality of services, and diagnosis related items, referral and treatment, medication administration. Three days intensive training was given for all supervisors and data collectors. Data entry and analyses was carried out using SPSS version 12.0.1 statistical packages. One trained data clerk entered and cleaned the data. Stepwise logistic regression was done to identify factors associated with disclosure. Variables that showed statistical significance below or equal to p≤0.05 where retained for the final model.
Socio-demographic and economic characteristics
Out of 390 children ages 1–14 (mean = 8.52, standard deviation [SD] = 2.97] years), 243 (62.3%) children were between 6–9 years of age, 215 (55.1%) were girls and 297 (76.2%) caregivers reported being Ethiopian Orthodox Christian. Of the 390 (100%) caregivers, 176 (45.1%) had primary school education; 174 (44.6%) caregivers were married. Two hundred and seventy seven (71.7%) caregivers mentioned that no one had helped the child financially for their treatment needs, while 6.4% biological fathers and 6.4% local Non-governmental Organizations (NGO's) were reported as being responsible for offering financial support to some of the children. The baseline socio-demographic and economic characteristics are presented in Table 1.
Table 1. Disclosure status of children on HAART in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2008, by demographic and social characteristics.
HIV infection, diagnosis, and treatment
Out of the 390 respondents, 210 (53.8%) had someone else living with HIV in their home. One hundred seventy seven of the individuals (84.3%) were taking HAART during the survey period, of which 59 (33.3%) were receiving HAART services in the same facility as the child and 27 (15.25%) had the same day appointment as the child. When asked about the time of the child's diagnosis, 320 (82.1%) caregivers knew it, 114 (29%) caregivers said that they had known about the child's HIV serostatus 2 years prior to the survey. Almost half, 191 (49%) children were referred for HIV screening from the hospital's in-patient ward and 131 (33.6%) from the community clinic.
Nutritional support including Ready-to-use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) provision was provided to 260 (66.7%) children from the hospital. Out of our total sample, 343 (88%) caregivers knew when the child had started HAART. From the 390 (100%) children/caretakers surveyed, 186 (54.4%) had started treatment 2 years before the survey was implemented. Of the children who were taking medication other than ARVs, cotrimoxazole, anti-Tuberculosis medication, as well as multi-vitamins were the most frequently used with 360 (92.3%), 68 (17.8%) and 20 (5%) children taking them, respectively.
Social Support, Disclosure and Perceived Stigma and Discrimination
Three hundred and twenty-two (82.6%) of the children who participated in the study did not know their HIV serostatus. For none disclosures, 104 (32.3%) caregivers reported that their children were told that they had Tuberculosis (TB) and that their children assumed they were being taken to the health facility for TB appointments. Ninety-four (24.1%) of the caregivers had been attending a support group for caregivers of children with HIV and 89 (94.7%) attended a community organization for social support.
When caregivers were asked about the age at which the child should know about his/her serostatus, 180 (46.2%) respondents said that the child should be told about his/her HIV status when he/she was older than 14 years of age, while 54 (13.8%) pointed out that disclosure should be made at the age of 14. When caregivers were asked about who should have the responsibility of disclosing HIV serostatus to the child, 193 (60%) believed that the doctor should be responsible. A total of 270 (69.2%) respondents reported that they knew other children with HIV in the community (Table 2).
Table 2. Patterns of disclosure characteristics of caregivers and children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia [N = 390], April 2008.
A total of 78 (20%) children reported being discriminated by their neighbors. Out of the 78 (20%) children that reported discrimination, 10 (13%) were from the HIV disclosed group and 68 (87%) were from the HIV non-disclosed group. One hundred and ninety-five (50%) of the caregivers reported as children or families affected by HIV/AIDS, including orphans are sometimes verbally mistreated.
HIV/AIDS disclosure predictors
After controlling for the effects of other variables in the multivariate logistic regression analysis, four characteristics were associated with disclosure of HIV status to children. Comparing children in the 10–14 years age group to children in the 0–5 age group and to those in the 6–9 years of age group, we observed that the last two groups are statistically significant less likely to be informed of their HIV status [(aOR = 0.11; 95% CI = 0.03–0.34 and (aOR = 0.19 ; 95% CI = 0.10–0.37, respectively)]. Perceived awareness of a child of caregiver's illness was also found to be associated with disclosure status. Children who were perceived to know their caregivers health problem were statistically significant more likely to be informed about their HIV status than their counterparts (aOR = 2.20; 95% CI: 1.14–4.28). Educational status of the caregivers was also statistically significant associated with disclosure. Children with caregivers that have education at or above primary level are statistically significant less likely to be informed of their result than those with illiterate caregivers (aOR = 0.28; 95% CI: 0.13–0 .54, aOR = 0.33; 95% CI: 0 .13–0.84 and aOR = 0.32; 95% CI: 0.12–0.86 comparing caregiver with no education vs. primary education, secondary education and diploma and above, respectively). Level of referral for HIV screening was associated with disclosure. Compared to children referred from community clinic, those children referred from hospitals (aOR = 2.87; 95% CI: 1.26–6.51) and private practitioners/NGOs (aOR = 3.88; 95% CI: 1.57–9.58) were more likely to be informed about their HIV test results (Table 3).
Table 3. Final Logistic Regression Model for Predictors of Disclosure of HIV/AIDS diagnosis to HIV-infected children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, April, 2008.
In this study only 68 (17.4%) children knew their serostatus. This is lower than the 33% reported in a study conducted in Uganda [16] but comparable with other studies conducted in Europe [17], [18]. Generally, the prevalence of disclosure varies widely across studies and settings, from less than 50% to about 75% of children and youths [19], [20]. The lower prevalence of disclosure in our study might be due to fear of stigma and discrimination by the family members that are not aware or/and caregiver's perceived lack of emotional preparedness of the children and if the child is told he/she will reveal to others leading to stigma and discrimination to the family.
In our study, most caregivers prefer to delay disclosure up to older ages (above 14), this being consistent with previous findings [21], [22]. In addition, it has been documented that parents view children over the age of 12 as emotionally mature for disclosure of HIV status [22]–[26]. In many studies, older children was found to be a determinant factor for the children's' knowledge about their HIV status. Bor et.al reported 100% disclosure in children 16 years of age and older [27] and likewise; Cohen et.al reported that 95% of children older than 10 years of age were aware of their HIV status in Massachusetts [28]. Similar findings were also documented elsewhere [15], [16]. This could be due to the caregivers' belief that at early age, the child is lacking the emotional and cognitive maturity needed to understand the disease and implications [19], [24], [29], [30]. The perception that adolescence is the optimal period for disclosure may relate to the idea that at this life stage, children are now able to cope with this type of information and address any concerns that they may have as they become sexually active (e.g. HIV transmission) [22]. In our analysis we included children less than 3 years old to explore the disclosure status for all pediatric age groups. Their inclusion might reduce the disclosure rate; however they do not represent a significant proportion of the participants so we do not expect that the relationship is significantly affected due to their inclusion.
The relationship between HIV disclosure and educational level has been documented elsewhere [31], [32]. Wiener et al. [30] found that more children who knew their HIV status came from families with a higher socio-economic status and as education is a proxy indicator of higher social economic status. In our study, illiterate caregivers were more likely to disclose the child's HIV status than caregivers with a higher educational level. Again, those caregivers who didn't pay for their child's medication before HAART intake were 62% less likely to disclose the child's serostatus. Similar findings were reported by Wiener et al. in which more children who knew their HIV status came from families with a higher socio-economic status [30] but opposite to the study found in Thailand, as more children whose caregivers reported having financial problems knew their diagnosis than those whose care givers did not report to have any financial problems [26]. In the Ethiopian context, affluent families might want to keep their family's status quo by avoiding disclosure.
In practical terms, it is difficult for caregivers to handle the psychological adjustments of their HIV infected children. If the child is aware of the health problem of his/her caretaker, disclosure is more likely to occur. A mother's disclosure of any chronic or life-threatening illness to her child is often accompanied by some level of hesitation and/or anxiety regarding the child's reaction [33], [34]. Similarly, mothers with HIV/AIDS might be particularly worried about their children learning of their illness given the stigma associated with the disease, as well as the methods of transmission [21], [35], [36]. In some cases, caretakers feel relieved of the burden of keeping the secret, and less anxious about medical visits and the possibility of accidental disclosure [9], [37]. Once the caregiver's senses that the child has known the caregivers health problem, it might be easier to disclose the HIV status [38]. According to Murphy et al. [39] children's' knowledge of maternal HIV/AIDS status is associated with an increase in child psychosocial adjustment, including enhanced self-esteem among children who know of their mother's HIV infection.
The strength of our study is the large sample size, which represents an important amount of caregivers and their children receiving HAART in Ethiopia in multiple treatment sites, which represent the major HAART reference hospitals in Addis Ababa. Some of the limitations that we identified were the following: first, our sample is limited to urban settings, which might curb any extrapolation of our finding to other settings in Ethiopia. We could not outline whether the differences in disclosure status are associated with cultural factors or other characteristics that were not included in this study. In addition, we acknowledge the possibility of potential selection bias in our study; we investigated only HIV disclosure among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs) under HAART, but HAART may have a confounding impact on disclosure. Finally, the selection of continuous therapy for 12 weeks and previous counseling on adherence and adverse drug reactions-may bias the results of the study.
In conclusion, the rate of disclosure of pediatric HIV positive status was low in children in Addis Ababa. Given that there is no published research found in the country, this finding will provide evidence regarding pediatric HIV serostatus disclosure. To increase disclosure rate, it is important to target children from higher socioeconomic classes and educated caregivers, children referred from community clinics and younger children. In addition, encouraging disclosure of caregivers' health problems might facilitate disclosure. Intensified information education and communication to de-stigmatize the disease might have far reaching impact. Caregivers and health providers should have a co-responsibility to decide on the proper time to disclose. Finally, as more information is known regarding HIV infection in children and young adults who will become sexually active and who might potentially engage in high risk behavior for HIV infection and other sexually transmitted diseases as well as blood borne diseases (Hepatitis C Virus), we need to be aware that current and future guidelines that consider HIV disclosure need to be flexible, so new information can be included with the ultimate goal of improving the life of children living with HIV and of their caregivers.
We are also very grateful to extend our gratitude to the study participants and data collectors.

Home Vaishnava Saints The Lotus Face of the Lion Guru
The Lotus Face of the Lion Guru
By Publish -
Sometimes, when speaking on the conclusions of bhakti-vedanta, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada is said to have been pounding his fist against the table, raising his voice, and his face would flush red. Once, seeing the color come into his face, Srila Sridhara Maharaja thought to himself, "Now I understand; this is what the sastra means when it speaks of a lotus face."
Followers of the Gaudiya-Saraswat Sampradaya all over the world have come to know of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati as the simha-guru (lion-guru), the naisthiki brahmacari who swore off mangos for his entire life after a small childhood blunder of eating the bhoga of the deity; he who at times practiced caturmasya eating only havisya—unseasoned, unsalted rice and lentils eaten from the ground with hands behind the back; he who fearlessly and relentlessly challenged the distortions of the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, regardless of the opposition that came. These are but a few of the practices that make us revel in awe of that great soul. What perhaps is not highlighted enough is the fact that all of these things were born out of the tender heart that underpins all the actions of an uttama-bhakta.
Sometimes is a distinction is made between the overtly liberal and accommodating presentation of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura and the relatively more rigid methods of his son, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta. Such a distinction is understandable, but it is far from the full story. More than anyone else, Bhaktisiddhanta imbibed the essential teachings of Bhaktivinoda, as well as his desire to see Gaudiya Vaishnavism presented to the rest of the world, and to the intelligent members of society in particular. It was in keeping with these compassionate yearnings that Bhaktisiddhanta stood tall and, as Srila Sridhara Maharaja once put it, "declared totalitarian war on maya." Bhaktisiddhanta would sometimes say that "to wake up one sleeping soul, to make one conditioned soul aware of his real identity, one should be willing to give gallons of blood." This was his so-called warfare; he was willing to shed his own blood to serve the opposition; it was not an effort to shed the opposition's blood in order to conquer it. Sri Caitanya-caritamrta declares, "Bhaye visa jvala haya, bhitare ananda maya, krsna premara adbhuta carita: the wonderful characteristic of love of Krishna is such that although on the outside it may appear unpleasant, internally, one who possesses it is completely filled with spiritual ecstasy." It was this ecstasy and its natural longing to share itself that filled Bhaktisiddhanta's heart with compassion and flexibility.
Internal tenderness aside, when we look at the measures that Bhaktisiddhanta actually took in the context of his mission, we can rightly say that in some ways he was even more accommodating than Bhaktivinoda. While Bhaktivinoda made many broad and universal statements in his teachings, Bhaktisiddhanta gave form to his conceptions and in so doing led Gaudiya Vaishnavism into uncharted territory. His had to be a flexibility in practice. This is not to say that Bhaktivinoda's essential understanding did not translate into his life, it most certainly did, but in formally trying to bring Gaudiya Vaishnavism to the world, Bhaktisiddhanta's need for adjusting details around essential principles became magnified manifold. The ground-breaking measures he took in service to this truth are more a testament to his powerful character than any forceful mood he displayed while doing it. His tenacity was evident in his printing books and newspapers, engaging with British officials, sending his students to the Western world, erecting marble temples in big cities, dressing his sannyasis in priestly garb complete with leather shoes, and the list goes on. These are the actions of a bhakta unwaveringly rooted in siddhanta and unhesitatingly prepared to bend or break with tradition if he thought such an action could bring people closer to Mahaprabhu, for truly understanding the jewel that is the prema-bhakti marga, how could one be unwilling to stretch in order to share it? Furthermore, the bhakti required to appropriately adjust details of Gaudiya Vaishnavism is many times greater than the bhakti required to maintain the status quo, what to speak of berate others with it, a feat which is more often evidence of undeveloped devotion.
This suppleness is the example we see set by our acaryas, one of constant assessment and reassessment to determine how best to inject bhakti into the environment around them. It is a task which they take on tirelessly, although it is grueling and, in one sense, never met with completion. This is their affection, and those who have had the good fortune of close contact with their guru have seen the palpable nature of this affection on a personal level.
We can see that Prabhupada Bhaktisiddhanta was revolutionary, but just one generation later we find Prabhupada Bhaktivedanta establishing different guidelines that many of his contemporaries saw as a deviation from his own guru. It is undeniable that Srila Prabhupada's mission was different in many ways, yet his followers know him to be fully surrendered to the vision of the Bhaktivinoda parivara. What then must that vision be? It cannot be one that is bound to a certain style of dress, or specific mannerisms, or the perpetuation of every detail and quirk of a culture that is far from exclusively Vedic in the first place. It cannot even be adherence to what have been termed the "four regulative principles," for we find differences in those even between Bhaktisiddhanta and Srila Prabhupada and occasions where both of them were willing to break with these mandates. In all of these rules, from those as primary as our diet to those as peripheral as how one ties their sikha, the primary vision was that of enabling jivas to cultivate pure love for Rasaraja Sri Krishna.
As sadhakas and servants of the sankirtan of Mahaprabhu, we must strive to live according to the knowledge that following the guru-parampara means cultivating a compassionate heart filled with devotion unencumbered by ulterior motives. This is the entirety of our path and all else can be seen as relative to this. For most of us, it would be an improvement to simply be able to follow the external guidelines given to us by our predecessors, but nonetheless, we must bear in mind that the extent to which those behaviors constitute bhakti will be determined by the development of a corresponding internal element—something more than mere renunciation, the number of counter-beads moved, or our best calculated attempts to emulate the zeal of the lion-guru. In brief, this "more" is a softening of the heart. Bhakti is the supreme secret in part because it is supremely subtle. It involves merely changing our angle of vision and using our head to soften out heart. Our deepest lessons gleaned from our acaryas' lives will be those that keep this subtlety in mind and push us to move closer to them in our internal development, not only in the pitch of our roar.

7th Annual Historic House Tour – Saturday, September 24 – Tickets Available Now!
Old houses tell wonderful stories, and the houses of Tredyffrin Township have many tales to tell. On Saturday, September 24, the Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust's 7th Annual Historic House Tour will open doors to Tredyffrin's past. The tour will spotlight Tredyffrin's neighborhoods by opening the doors to eight grand historic homes. Featured houses span 18th, 19th and 20th centuries and offer visitors an opportunity to experience Chester County history through original, restored and historically significant homes.
The Trust is delighted the Montessori Children's House of Valley Forge (MCHVF) www.mchvf.org will be the featured ticket pick-up point for this year's House Tour. One of the sponsors for the tour, MCHVF is one of the only schools located in a U.S. National Park; it officially opened the doors to its new school, located with Valley Forge National Historic Park last year. The school spent $3.8 million to renovate the 3.5-acre property known as Ivy Hollow Farm, circa 1750. The Ivy Hollow farmhouse has been converted into a beautiful parent meeting room and a residential apartment for a staff member and the barn has been transformed in the school building. Both the farmhouse and the barn will be available for visitors during the House Tour.
The houses on the House Tour are as diverse as their owners. Visitors will enjoy the 19th century summer home in Malvern of the Gretz beer brewing family. During Prohibition the family turned to dairy-farming but their basement is rumored to have been the local speakeasy. The House Tour includes a grand 1892 Queen Anne home with porte-cochere called 'La Carne'. This property illustrates adaptive reuse of a historic home; as it is now the law offices of a local firm. In Strafford, visitors will tour two houses, a 1908 stone home with Colonial and Federal Revival trends including the use of a full porch with columns and entablature plus massive paired gable-end chimneys and Foxmead, a 1911 colonial revival style stone house designed by the famous Philadelphia architect Charles Barton Keen.
Visitors will see two 'rubble stone' homes from the early 20th century in Berwyn. Walking distance of each other, the two showcase very different lifestyles of their owners. One house began its life as a twin. The owner purchased one twin in 1993 and when the other twin became available in 2008, purchased the other side. With great effort, the exteriors of the two sides blend to create the appearance of a large single-family home. Down the street, the rubble stone house, circa 1916 is now home to 'empty-nesters'. Rather than downsizing to an apartment, condominium or a senior community, the owners show visitors how a historic home can be the perfect choice for retirement-living.
Another not to be missed stop on the 7th Annual Historic House Tour is Cold Spring Farm, an 18th century English-style farmhouse in Malvern. A neglected property for decades, the owners had a clear vision of its potential. Working with the expertise of the design team from Period Architecture of West Chester, no detail was overlooked in the renovation and expansion of this property.
The historic homes and gardens will be open from 12 Noon to 5 PM on Saturday, September 24, rain or shine. Knowledgeable guides staff each home on the tour and house tour admission includes individual house history with map and parking details. Tickets are $35 and advance purchase is necessary, as there will be no tickets sold at the door.
Tickets are available online at www.tredyffrinhistory.org using your credit card or download an order form and mail with your check to Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust, PO Box 764, Devon, PA 193333-0764.
This year's House Tour would not be possible without the generosity of our many sponsors. Sponsors are listed on the Trust website and will be listed on Community Matters in an upcoming post. Your purchase of a House Tour ticket will support historic preservation in our community!

We want to go fishing but we're up here in Kenai!!
— It seems like I hear that almost every week at least a couple times.
So we get a lot of requests from our friends up north on the Kenai Peninsula to take them fishing. Well, we don't venture that far north, so you'll have to hire a Kenai Peninsula fishing guide to take you out on the waters.
Thankfully, it's very easy for us to recommend the best fishing guide in that area, Jason Lesmeister. He own's and operates, Jason's Guide Service, and fishes the entire Kenai Peninsula, River, and Lake areas including Cooper Landing. He has been operating for 20+ years and knows the waters better than anyone out there.
If you're down here in Kodiak, use Safari Boat Excursions (that's us), but if you're up around Kenai, use Jason's Guide Service. Contact him with the information below.

Wiara Lecha Poznań or Drużyna Wiary Lecha abbreviated to DWL, is a sports club from Poznań founded by Lech Poznań supporters in 2011 and ran by the former official Lech Poznań supporter group Wiara Lecha. Only active supporters can play in the team and they have to have made a contribution to the supporter scene in order to be admitted to the squad. It has association football, basketball, rugby union and futsal teams.

Foundation and club culture
Many Lech Poznań supporters felt that heavy handed policing, frequent games behind closed doors, and the rising pressure on supporter groups and amount of responsibility pinned on them, and restrictions regarding tifos and pyrotechnics has made supporting Lech, one of the country's top teams less enjoyable. In order to reclaim some of the spontaneity and be able to participate in the ultras scene more freely a  "fans football club, for the fans, by the fans" was set up in 2011, however unlike many other supporter owned clubs (e.g.: F.C. United of Manchester, GKS Górnik 1979 Łęczna, TMRF Widzew) the club was not set up in protest of the club itself.

In December 2013, "Wiara Lecha" ceased being the official supporter association of the Lech Poznań football club, due to the increasing stigmatisation and criminalisation of fans by the authorities and the media. A new association Stowarzyszenie Kibiców Lecha Poznań was formed which took over the role as being the main supporter group of Lech Poznań, replacing Stowarzyszenie Wiara Lecha. However, Wiara Lecha, instead of dissolving, fully committed to running the new fan-owned football club.

The condition to become a player is that one has to be an active supporter and they have to have made a contribution to Lech's supporter scene. Despite their lowly ranking in the football pyramid, for important matches up to 800 fans can be present, often presenting choreographies during matches.

Etymology
The name comes from the former name of Lech Poznań supporter group Wiara Lecha, with the word Wiara meaning "faith" in standard Polish language and "people" in local slang. Kibolski Klub Sportowy means "Fans Sports Club", kibol being a slang term for supporter. The abbreviation KKS is also present in the name of Lech Poznań (where K stands for Kolejowy''; 'railway').

Player and staff admission policy
All those involved in the club have to be active Lech Poznań supporters with a season ticket and attend at least 4 away matches every season.

Association football

Playing history
Before joining the league pyramid structure, the Lech fans played in various 5-a-side, 7-a-side, summer, indoor and outdoor amateur tournaments. The club's inaugural 2012/2013 season and first ever league match was a 3–1 win over SKS 13 Poznań, in B-klasa, the eighth tier of Polish football. Whilst in the division, matches against Odlew Poznań were of particular interest, dubbed the "Poznań derby", as the only two teams with a media presence but also mostly due to the opposition of Gazeta Wyborcza and the media in general by the Lech fans, although Odlew was quick to denounce its ties to the newspaper; Odlew so far has lost ever derby game against Wiara Lecha. The team was widely tipped to gain immediate promotion to the A-klasa, which was fulfilled after coming second in the division, only behind KS Gniezno. The players and fans celebrated the promotion by presenting a tifo display against SKS 13 Poznań on 23 June 2013

The team has quickly established itself in the A-klasa, although they were favourites to gain a second successive promotion in the 2013/2014 season, needing to win against Concordia Murowana Goślina with the final clash between the two happening with 2 league games to spare. The match which was played inside Lech's stadium in front of a few thousand strong crowd was narrowly lost, which allowed Concordia to leapfrog Wiara Lecha in the table and as they did not drop any points it was Concordia who won the league and was promoted. The club continued aiming for promotion, which they finally achieved in June 2015 in a match against Clescevia Kleszczewo, with the last game of the season, a 4–0 win over Orkan Jarosławiec celebrated at Lech's stadium in front of 500 fans.

During the winter break of the 2015–2016 season, a new manager Jarosław Wróblewski was hired, with the aim to reach the fifth national tier in time for the 2017–2018 season. This was after it was announced that the club parted ways with Dariusz Kustoń, the club's first ever manager, in December 2015. The regional league structure however was changed in 2017, with the club finding themselves in an inter-district division rather than a district league, and the clubs aims changed.

In late September 2018, the club beat Meblorz Swarzędz in the regional Polish Cup 1–0 away at the local Municipal Stadium in Swarzędz in front of c.600 fans of both teams; both sets of fans presented tifos and the match was described as a true celebration of football fandom.

By 2019 the club has aimed to consolidate its position within the new inter-district league before mounting a challenge to be promoted up to the fifth national tier, which would be a significant organisational step-up as well as a sporting one.

Futsal
Before joining the association football league pyramid structure, the Lech fans played in various 5-a-side, 7-a-side, summer, indoor and outdoor amateur tournaments. They have continued to participate in those as a futsal team. The club participated in various charity tournaments under the name Blue White Poznań, winning the 2010 Mariusz Heintze Charity Tournament  and runner-up in the 2010 Prezydent Cup. In 2018 they reached the Greater Poland Regional Polish Cup finals group stage.

Basketball
In September 2019 a new basketball section was created in order to restore the past basketball glories of Lech Poznań. They won their first match in round three of the local third division, the lowest league in the pyramid.

Rugby
The club has founded a rugby union section in 2020 on the basis of NKR Chaos Poznań, an amateur club founded by Lech supporters in 2001. The new section debuted in a rugby sevens Polish Cup tournament in June 2020.

"Fair play to Munster... I'm proud of our boys too. Not one of them gave up."
Johnny Sexton had regained his composure by full-time, at Thomond Park, and spoke gracefully about the Munster team that had handed Leinster only their third defeat of the season.
Johann van Graan's men tore into the Guinness PRO14 champions from the get-go and were full value for their 26-17 victory. Leinster did well to stay in the contest with 14 men (13 when Tadhg Furlong was in the sin-bin) until a late Keith Earls intercept try sealed a home win.
Following the game, Sexton admitted that the two yellow cards, James Lowe's sending off and the concession of other penalties cost his side.
"It doesn't take a scientist to work out that it was discipline that probably cost us the game," he told eir Sport.
"It's a tough enough game with 15 men, let alone 13 and 14. But look, all the things that happened (for yellow and red cards) were probably accidents and nothing intentional, but it is something we'll have to learn from."
The post-match press briefing found Sexton in stoic form. He had no quibbles with the cards issued by referee Frank Murphy and only questioned why he was penalised for retaliation - on Fineen Wycherley - when Munster avoided sanction for a similar incident.
We did get to ask Sexton about his two notable coming(s) together with former Leinster teammate Joey Carbery.
Here is how that conversation with Sexton went.
SPORTSJOE: "There were two issues with yourself and Joey Carbery during the game. There was a little bit of afters and you threw him to the ground. Probably no issue there, but there was another one when you were in a ruck and it looked like maybe there was a bit of a knee as you were getting into. Carbery reacted to it. That is getting shared a lot, at the moment. Can you remember that (incident) at all?"
SPORTSJOE: "There other one was, as I said, at the sideline where Conor (Murray) and James Lowe got involved - Jean Kleyn as well. You threw Carbery to the ground as well. Is that something that happens in the game as well, nothing to make a big deal of? Can you remember if anything was said at the time?
SEXTON: "Yeah, nothing said. No. It's just something that happens in rugby matches.
The Leinster captain was switched for Ciaran Frawley after 60 minutes and briefly looked to ask the young outhalf if it was, in fact, him that was being replaced.
"No, it was always the plan," Sexton said and Leinster head coach Leo Cullen confirmed that 'we wanted to get Ciaran the exposure to that game and that was why we made the change after 60 minutes'.
Sexton did have a bag of ice placed on his right calf after he was taken off but Cullen did not list him as an injury concern in his briefing. Munster openside Chris Cloete, meanwhile, remained at the ground after he was stretchered off and van Graan said he still had a 'stiff neck' after he was forcibly cleared from a ruck by Tadhg Furlong.

The car came to a halt when it collided with a rock about 100m down, but there was still a long way to go.
While making their way back down a snow-covered Sani Pass on Sunday, a Ballito couple faced a horrifying experience when they lost control of their vehicle on the icy road, reports the North Coast Courier.
Nathan and Bridget Renald escaped with minor injuries after their SUV slid over the edge, coming to a stop as it collided with a rock 100m down.
The pass is notorious for humbling even the finest 4x4s.
The Audi came to a halt when it hit a large rock. It did not appear to be equipped with the right tyres for the pass.
According to Dylan Meyrick from IPSS Medical Rescue, the couple were about 3km from the summit when the incident occurred.
"IPSS Rescue members were on the pass and witnessed the incident," said Meyrick.
According to Mountain Passes South Africa, Sani Pass is the "mother of all South African mountain passes".
The site explains that the 1950s-built pass's position between KwaZulu-Natal and Lesotho makes it a challenging drive in 4×4 vehicles with "all the drama, scenery, bad weather and treacherous conditions expected of a pass with a summit altitude of 2876m above sea level".
"That equates to 9,400 feet and at 10,000 feet aircraft need pressurised cabins!


The Melbourne School of Government (MSoG) works closely with policy makers and has a strong interest in leading research translation and engagement.
MSoG is undertaking a two-year research project to identify the role and potential of research translation through the research lifecycle-from funds-seeking to impact measurement. This research into the values, motivations, management and measurement of research translation at the university will contribute to a growing field of scholarship on knowledge transfer and aims to transform the work of academics within the university, in line with strategic aims.
The project has practical, strategic and scholarly contributions. Effective research translation strategies are significant in the impact agenda. The Australian Government has declared that Universities need to demonstrate their value through innovation and impact beyond the academy. In order to demonstrate our impact as researchers it is vital that we translate that research into action, policy or general knowledge. This research aims to understand how this is done currently and to identify 'best practise' and trial an MSoG lab format for trans-disciplinary research. The research contributes to a nascent but growing field of scholarship and will contribute in-depth case studies and theories of research translation.
The Research Translation program aims to understand the drivers (both structural and personal) of good research translation. There are myriad ways that we can use research to inform practise and policy and many of these are highly context dependent. This blog follows our journey through this process and includes guest posts that illustrate the nature of the challenge ahead of us.
In this blog I discuss some of initial findings from a two year study of drivers and barriers to research translation. Noting that many researchers feel that social action as an outcome of research is undervalued by universities, I explore how personal drivers are in tension with organisational drivers in a competitive research environment.
In this entry, Martin Bortz discusses the importance of stories and narratives in translating research for policymakers and practitioners.
Research quality and research translation: Never the twain shall meet?
Today's blogger is Martin Bortz, who is a research fellow at the Melbourne School of Government. Martin works in our research translation team, and is completing a PhD in the role of consultants in public policy. He also convenes the knowledge translation network at Melbourne University.
Guest Post: Kirsty Jones "Why does research for social impact need a Knowledge Translation plan?"
Today we hear from Dr Kirsty Jones. Dr Jones is currently a research fellow with the Melbourne School of Government with a long history in research translation. Through her work she looks at developing relationships between different stakeholders, including researchers, policymakers, service providers and communities. Today she is looking the notion of engaged research, and how research translation can support these kinds of projects.
Guest post: Joanna Hanley "Whose knowledge counts?"
Today's guest post is from Joanna Hanley. Joanna has been part of the Research Translation team for a while and this week we have taken advantage of her insider knowledge of humanitarian systems and legal and policy frameworks to talk about the tensions of expertise in translation to policy.
Guest Post: Erika Feller "Making Research Realistic"
Erika Feller is currently a Vice-Chancellors Fellow at the Melbourne School of Government. Erika's experience in moving from the position of Assistant Commissioner for Protection at the UNHCR into a university environment gives her a unique understanding of the use and demands for research in a very applied field, as well as a glimpse of what drives university research. So of course we asked her to discuss all of this over lunch with the K* Network.
We are very excited to have our first guest blogger, and to introduce to you Kate Raynor from the Transforming Housing action research network. Kate will pop up again in a coming post that will have links to videos from the Public Interactive Learning Labs so you will be able to see her talking specifically about housing issues. In the meantime Kate has taken up the challenge to put together a report that stems from a fabulous workshop with guest Judith Innes whose work in planning and participatory action research is inspirational across disciplines. Here is Kate, talking about collaborative processes.
Public Interactive Learning Labs – What did we learn about engaging the public with current research?
The concept of the PiLLs was to look at topics that were of general political interest (remembering that last year we had a federal election) in a way that would help us to understand the issues beyond the media headlines. We chose our topics and we worked with researchers and educational designers to create a series of four free public events.
Welcome to the MSoG Research Translation Blog! This is our first blog and we are really excited to be able to share some of the fabulous research, courses, links and insights that we are finding through our research and programs. We also hope that you will join in the sharing and contribute to the blog with news, opinion, research and controversy.
The MSoG Labs are a participatory action research program designed to develop an appropriate form of research translation for transdisciplinary problems. A small group of researchers and policy practitioners form the core of the action research group. All participants are invited to undertake professional development in transdisciplinary collaboration and group model building. They then join transdisciplinary teams working on research synthesis projects within MSoG. Participants are surveyed or interviewed before and after participation to determine the effectiveness of the pilot programs.
A primary (external) stakeholder and question are identified as the beginning of the process.
Some stakeholders will be known already. Others will be identified through special interest groups, geographic or demographic communities affected by a policy. Researchers whose expertise is relevant will also be identified. Representatives of all stakeholder groups identified will be invited to the MSoG Policy Workshop 1.
This step may consist of multiple stakeholders working together or separately to discover or co-create the knowledge that was identified at Step 2(5) as being both important to a solution and actionable within an appropriate timeframe.
If you are interested in the MSoG labs either as a research participant or as an external stakeholder with a question that you would like looked at, we would be very happy to be contacted by emailing Kate Neely.
The MSoG research translation program is about actions as well as theory. We have opportunities for researchers to engage across the university and with organisations outside of the university. Whether you want to present your research, to get to understand government through a secondment or to provide input on current policy questions, one of these opportunities is likely to suit you.
We all want to see our research being used to create a better world. The K* Network is an informal network of staff from across the University who are interested in sharing information on theory and practise in translating research throughout the whole of the research cycle. Sign up here to receive occasional newsletters and notifications of relevant events and workshops.
Wondering why it's called K*? The terminology that is used interchangeably for research translation includes knowledge exchange, knowledge mobilisation, knowledge translation etc… K* is a shorthand for all these terms.
The MindHive platform facilitates the crowdsourcing of ideas for use in policy and strategy solutions. It is a network of expert contributors from universities, industry, NGOs and government.
Use your expertise and experience to engage with the broader community of experts on important issues in policy and strategy development, and make a difference to the way organisations solve these challenges. You'll also get feedback on your contributions, and on the progress of the policy/strategy. Contributing your expertise will grow the influence and impact of your ideas.
You can setup a MindHive logon anytime you like. Please visit the MindHive website.
We connect with other programs that include government secondments and research fellowships, as well as opportunities to present your research outcomes to interested organisations or the public.
If you are a University of Melbourne Researcher or HDR Student, and you would like to participate in any of these programs please send us an email to Kate Neely with a 1-2 paragraph outline of your research, what stage you are at and what you would like to do.

Monday Bar är en svensk musikevenemangsorganisatör inom elektronisk dansmusik. Nattklubben Monday Bar grundades 1992 i Stockholm av discjockeyn Jonny Johansson (DJ Johnny Boy), som spelade den då ganska okända musikstilen house. Sedan 1994 driver han Monday Bar tillsammans med Staffan Riedelberg. De arrangerar nattklubbar med olika sorters elektronisk dansmusik, ursprungligen främst house och techno, sedermera även trance, goa/psytrance, hardstyle och hardcore techno. Klubbarna har arrangerats på bland annat Sloppys (Fleminggatan), Downtown, Daily News Café, Göta Källare, Kolingsborg, Münchenbryggeriet och Slakthuset.

Sedan 2002 arrangerar Monday Bar temakryssningar på Östersjön upp till fyra gånger per år. Kryssningsfartygen abonneras från Tallink och Silja Line, där de är de mest framgångsrika specialkryssningarna. Ombord spelar såväl världsartister som mindre kända discjockeyer och nykomlingar. Kryssningarna hamnade 2005 på DJ Magazines lista över de 50 coolaste festerna i världen.

Erroneous to say ".. the vaccine was proven effective for curtailing the spread of Covid 19 in the United States.." ABSOLUTELY WRONG!

Yeah, just skip that part at 1:45. Couldn't even watch the parts with them forcefully shoving this stuff in the children, knowing it'll kill them in the coming near future. I had to wince and look away; it was that heart-breaking.
Couldn't help but laugh out loud at the 'government-approved' material, implying a level of censorship consistent with a dictatorship.
The politician they quoted around 6:40 failed to call taking your marching orders from a foreign source what it is: TREASON. This is mainly why our entire political system is useless. No one calls a spade a spade, anymore. I have yet to see Bernier refer to any of these political hacks as traitors, either. Why is that?
Overall, the video is little more than a hackjob to promote Musk as something he's not. He's a little twat that has been fed the federal funding spoon for too long and none of his claimed ventures have ever generated anything resembling an actual profit. Between, that and the number of pieces of information they got wrong (including the title of the video), I question the value of this video.
Well, now is a good time to invest in VPNs and proxys to ensure you still have a means to access the truth, which is anything our dictatorship is not saying. This is going to pass and it's going to be worse than anything we've been told because they know they are badly losing the information war. Global is on the literal verge of shutdown and depends exclusively on taxpayer funds to stay in business. CBC can't function without taxpayer funds either. Nobody like a wokester and nobody likes a lair and they are paying the price for it. (Well, really we're paying the price for it since us, the unrepresented, are being forced to cover this madness).
Now, keep in mind, this year the WEF has already told their colonials they want pedophilia normalized, so watch that get shoved down our throats, too.
