Q: How to add mobile browser zooming functionality to flutter? I'm building a mobile webpage in Flutter, and I realized something small that's been kind of bugging me. If you make anything in html, even just a body tag with text, on mobile, you can always pinch your fingers and the whole webpage will zoom out (or zoom in). This feature doesn't seem to work in my flutter websites. It makes the website feel kind of unresponsive in my opinion, and I prefer the zooming. I tried adding in an InteractiveViewer, but this had a couple problems; it wouldn't zoom out, and the panning was very weird, only working when both fingers were on screen. Is there a better solution?
Thanks!

Margaret Kean
Reference - 192 Pages - 1 B/W Illustrations
Series: Routledge Guides to Literature
Select Format: Paperback Hardback Quantity:

Designed for students new to Milton's complex, lengthy work, this sourcebook:
* outlines the often unfamiliar contexts of seventeenth-century England which are so crucial to Paradise Lost
* completes the contextual study with a chronology and reprinted documents from the period
* examines and reprints a broad range of responses to the poem, from early reactions to recent criticism
* reprints the most frequently studied passages of the poem, along with extensive commentary and annotation of unfamiliar or significant terms used in Milton's work
* provides cross-references between the textual, contextual and critical sections of the sourcebook, to show how all the materials can be called upon in an individual reader's encounter with the text
* suggests further reading for those facing the huge array of critical work on the poem.
With an emphasis on enjoying as well as understanding what can be a somewhat daunting work, this sourcebook will be a welcome resource for anyone new to Paradise Lost.

Cairo ICT sees surge in visitors this year
This year's Cairo ICT saw a 36 percent increase in visitors from the previous year.
Nokia Egypt | 02.06.2011
This year's Cairo ICT saw a 36 percent increase in visitors from the previous year, Osama Kamal, managing director of Trade Fairs International, said Saturday at the closing of the 15th annual trade fair and forum.
At the event, Cisco CEO John Chambers announced that the company plans to invest $10 million in Egypt.
Mohammed Ragab, El Araby group sales manager, said, "We appreciate the timing of the exhibition. Seeing these big companies participating in Cairo ICT is really refreshing after the slowdown in the industry after the revolution. We had a drop in the number of sales but we are expecting [them] to increase soon."
Jean Pierre Labry, managing director of R&M Middle East and Africa, a Swiss cabling specialist taking part in the exhibition for the eighth time, said, "Cairo ICT is generally a go-to market event where we meet clients from important markets of the region such as the Middle East and North Africa, as well as Egypt, which continues to be a key market for R&M."
One of the sessions discussed the importance of prioritizing small and medium enterprises, and supporting them by providing packaged services.
The closing session named "A promise for Tomorrow" featured Magued Osman, minister of information and communication technology, along with Amr Talaat, IBM country general manager, Tarek El Saadany, CEO of Egypt Post, Taha Khalifa, genral manager of Intel, Ayman Abdel Lateef, Microsoft general manager, and Ahmed Kabeel, CEO of OMS.
Tarek El Saadany said, "The Egypt Post presence at Cairo ICT highlights the importance of IT in our framework, we must have a basic strong IT infrastructure for our work."
IBM's Amr Talaat Said, "We want to stand by the Egyptian economy, which is why we started our 2020 initiative to represent our vision to have a strong economy by then. Nine years is [enough] time to revive our economy."
Meanwhile, Intel's Taha Khalifa said the increase in visitors signified a bright future for the ICT sector marked by a surge in internet users.
Ayman Abdel Lateef of Microsoft said, "The whole world is now focusing on Egypt, confident of the infinite capabilities of the youth."
Attendees highlighted the importance of the ICT sector in boosting the overall economy.
Minister Magued Osman said, "This forum is being held under exceptional circumstances in Egypt, making it an adventurous move.

Vitamin D and memory: Can being short-term memory deficient influence your decisions?
Those with trouble remembering what vitamin D supplements cost should take note: A new study, in a crop of ongoing research, argues that people who had trouble remembering what the product cost and yet…
Those with trouble remembering what vitamin D supplements cost should take note: A new study, in a crop of ongoing research, argues that people who had trouble remembering what the product cost and yet could correctly answer questions about the history of their family generally were less likely to die in the study period than people with otherwise comparable scores.
Researchers cannot yet conclude that the reason is that people who always had trouble remembering the cost of a supplement were more likely to die of breast cancer or prostate cancer or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease than people with better scores on the color-coding test. But there was a correlation, and researchers did not find any such correlations for anything else except cell signaling in the brain.
"They say that common sense should guide our decisions, and we can rely on common sense to help guide our decisions," said lead researcher Douglas Wilson, a psychologist at the University of Utah. "With vitamin D we know that this common sense has been influenced by a confluence of factors, and that leads us to ask how common sense is affected."
For Wilson and colleagues, those factors included recent sun exposure, someone's body mass index, their body's sensitivity to vitamin D, their baseline vitamin D deficiency, their calcium intake and how many times they walked during the 12 months preceding taking the survey. They also considered how often participants were advised to drink vitamin D-rich fortified beverages.
Study participants were studied from 2003 through 2010. The researchers counted the number of subjects who died, as well as the number who did not die and also the number who died more than two years after the survey ended. They then compared the people with answers that were less than optimal — such as participants' inability to remember the specific price of a product compared with that of an equivalent amount purchased in another person or in other similar products.
"The important thing to recognize is not just that a vitamin D score is less than optimal," Wilson said. "The important thing to recognize is that people with low vitamin D scores have a variety of other confounding factors that may lead to their vitamin D scores also being low."
The researchers also found that people with more favorable scores for memory problems seemed to have better absorption of vitamin D from the food and other sources that they studied and had higher levels of vitamin D in their bloodstreams.
Vitamin D is essential for several body functions, and it has a variety of helpful properties. It is particularly important for bone health. But while many study participants had a good sense of whether they were deficient in vitamin D and were aiming to get more of it from food or supplements, some of those who did not got adequate amounts of the vitamin from food and others from supplements, leading to excessive vitamin D exposure in their bloodstreams.
Wilson said that potentially supplementationary doses of vitamin D should vary in terms of the relative strength of a person's immune system as well as how long their bodies spent exposed to the sun.
A health food store close to her home in Minnesota uses low doses of vitamin D supplements to track that the stores have sold enough of them. But Wilson said the best thing people can do is simply spend more time outdoors.
The study will be published in an upcoming issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Prepare for Omicron surge, WHO warns Asia-Pacific nations

New Delhi, Dec 3 : The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Friday warned that countries in the Asia-Pacific region need to strengthen healthcare services and focus on vaccinating their people, as the Omicron variant spreads globally and enters new regions. In a virtual briefing, Takeshi Kasai, WHO regional director for the western Pacific, said that it is clear that this pandemic is far from over. "I know that people are worried about Omicron. I understand. My message to you today is that we can adapt the way we manage this virus to better cope w/ future surges and reduce their health, social and economic impact," he said. "We can adapt, so that #COVID19 has less impact on our lives in 2022, and we can start to regain - and hopefully retain - a sense of normality," he added. Omicron cases have now been reported in India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea, and new cases are being documented with each passing hour. "People should not only rely on border measures. What is most important is to prepare for these variants with potential high transmissibility. So far the information available suggests we don't have to change our approach," he said during the virtual media briefing. South Korea on Friday decided to tighten anti-virus measures from next week amid a surging number of Covid-19 cases and an emerging worry about the potentially more transmissible Omicron variant. In India, after detection of the first two cases of Omicron infection in Bengaluru, the Karnataka Health department is now worried over 10 South African nationals, who have gone untraceable in Bengaluru. A total of 10 persons suspected to be infected with Omicron Covid variant have been admitted to Delhi's Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital (LNJP). The new super-mutant Omicron variant of Covid-19 can increase risk of reinfection by three times as compared to other variants of concern such as Beta and Delta, according to a preliminary study by South African researchers. /IANS

There are two separate definitions for a property boundary. The first of these is the one that is seen on a digital or paper document. It is called the legal boundary. Legal boundaries are lines drawn onto a map to illustrate the location of the boundary. They are inserted both by Ordnance Survey and by the Land Registry. The Land Registry insert a red line within the black OS Boundary line to show the approximate position of the legal boundary. They notionally identify the boundary as accurately as they can, but it is rarely precise enough when it comes to measuring feet and inches. The other definition is known as the physical boundary. This is what you see when you step out of your house and look at it. The physical boundary may consist of a wall, a hedgerow, a fence or, river, or some other means of separating the property boundaries.
• Obtain a Boundary Search. A boundary Search will provide you with the most important documents available for identifying the legal boundary.
• Collect together any other property documents you may have. This might include pre-registration deeds (the old deeds that your solicitors never required and sent to you after the purchase of your house). You might discover other pertinent documents amongst them such as the original builders plans, planning and building regulation documents, estate agents particulars and the like.
• After reading through the above documents and understanding where the legal boundary is, you should go outside and look at the boundary, taking photographs, measurements and drawings, if you think it necessary.
• You should then discuss the boundary location with your neighbour, having all the relevant information fresh in your memory. If your neighbour assumes a contrary position you can show him your documents to support your point of view.
• If each of you agree, you may wish to enter into an Informal Boundary Agreement. No property exchanges hands and subseuqent purchasaers from you will not be bound by it, but it is clear evidence and persuasive for any court to consider. An Informal Boundary Agreement can be noted in each Title Register.
A Boundary Search provides the documents of Title for the properties on each side of the boundary or boundaries, i.e. the Title Registers and Title Plans. Also included are the digital Conveyancing Deeds and Deed Plans for each property that have been scanned by the Land Registry. The Land Registry have always, since 1925, followed the General Boundary Rule, which is that they show boundary positions on the Title Plans in a general way only, i.e. they are not precisely located and although accurate for most purposes, their accuracy fails when considering long, thin strips of disputed land each side of the boundary which may only be centimetres wide. This rule now forms part of the Land Registry Act 2002, section 60.
Accordingly, the Title Plan is probably the least useful of the available documents but is provided as a general guide and also because it illustrates the legal boundary. Generally, there are no statements or drawings stating the boundary positions, and you must therefore read the Title Registers carefully to see what they say. They often contain recognisable or implied clues, and there may be references to other documents.
In particular there may be reference to one or more Conveyancing Deeds in the Registers, with a note at the foot of one or more paragraphs in the Registers, to say that a Conveyancing Deed has been copied by the Land Registry. Whenever a note like this is present that Deed and any Deed Plan attached to it will be available, and will form part of the Boundary Search you have purchased. These should always be read, even though their language is difficult to read (older Deeds may be handwritten, words abbreviated and punctuation omitted).
Of these Deeds the most useful to you will be the earliest Conveyance, as this is the one most likely to have referred to boundary positions, and often this Deed will contain an illustrative plan, which may have been professionally drawn or may consist of a rough sketch but containing measurements and dimensions. Although measurements on Deed Plans may lack accuracy or be proven to be incorrect, they will certainly form persuasive authority for a court to consider, particularly where there is no other source to refute it. A court dealing with a boundary dispute will commence its investigation by looking at this conveyance and any plan attached. If the position of the boundaries can be clearly established from the conveyance and conveyance plan there will be no need to consider any further evidence, unless there is a claim that the conveyance is incorrect. If it can be established that the conveyance is incorrect the court will then look at extrinsic evidence.
Neighbours and witnesses may also provide extrinsic evidence, e.g. where they were aware of the use of a boundary at an earlier date, perhaps during an earlier ownership, that is different from what it is now.

Q: Can a thread ever throw more than one ThreadAbortException? Im not sure this is the correct forum for this type of question, but Im currently trying to find a bug I cant reproduce in a web service using a memory dump and I think I have a specific question I need help with, that I think someone might have some input on.
Analyzing a memory dump using WinDbg I find aprox 75000 ThreadAbortExceptions in memory, and they all originate from here:
at System.Threading.WaitHandle.WaitOne(Int64 timeout  Boolean exitContext)
at MyNameSpace.CustomThreadPool.Run()

They are all created in a very short period of time, when the application is trying to unload its appdomain (IIS is closing down).
What I cant figure out right now is how its possible to raise so many ThreadAbortExceptions? If a thread quits, is there any way it may raise more than one? If anyone can give any hint as to why so many exceptions of this type can exist? From what I can see there's about 20 threads max is this process, and the threadpool itself has only one(!) thread when this occurs.
The CustomThreadPool class comes from this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163851.aspx
public sealed class CustomThreadPool : IDisposable
{
    private Semaphore _workWaiting;
    private Queue<WaitQueueItem> _queue;
    private List<Thread> _threads;

    public CustomThreadPool(int numThreads)
    {
        if (numThreads <= 0)
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("numThreads");

        _threads = new List<Thread>(numThreads);
        _queue = new Queue<WaitQueueItem>();
        _workWaiting = new Semaphore(0, int.MaxValue);

        for (int i = 0; i < numThreads; i++)
        {
            Thread t = new Thread(Run);
            t.IsBackground = true;
            _threads.Add(t);
            t.Start;
        }
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        if (_threads != null)
        {
            _threads.ForEach(delegate(Thread t) { t.Interrupt(); });
            _threads = null;
        }
    }

    public void QueueUserWorkItem(WaitCallback callback, object state)
    {
        if (_threads == null)
            throw new ObjectDisposedException(GetType().Name);
        if (callback == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("callback");

        WaitQueueItem item = new WaitQueueItem();
        item.Callback = callback;
        item.State = state;
        item.Context = ExecutionContext.Capture();

        lock(_queue) _queue.Enqueue(item);
        _workWaiting.Release();
    }

    private void Run()
    {
        try
        {
            while (true)
            {
                _workWaiting.WaitOne();
                WaitQueueItem item;
                lock(_queue) item = _queue.Dequeue();
                ExecutionContext.Run(item.Context,
                    new ContextCallback(item.Callback), item.State);
            }
        }
        catch(ThreadInterruptedException){}
    }

    private class WaitQueueItem
    {
        public WaitCallback Callback;
        public object State;
        public ExecutionContext Context;
    }
}

A: It's possible to catch and then reset a ThreadAbortException using Thread.ResetAbort. So a single thread could actually have many such exceptions thrown on it.
For example, if you call Response.Redirect(url, true) in ASP.NET, it will abort the current thread and then cancel the abort higher up.
I'm not sure this quite explains your situation, but it's worth looking at. Alternatively, is something trying to recreate the thread pool when it "crashes" due to the app domain being unloaded?
EDIT: To respond to your comment: as per the AppDomain.Unload documentation:

The threads in domain are terminated
  using the Abort method, which throws a
  ThreadAbortException in the thread.
  Although the thread should terminate
  promptly, it can continue executing
  for an unpredictable amount of time in
  a finally clause.

Basically the threads are being aborted precisely because your appdomain is being unloaded.

A: Doing a Response.Redirect("~/Somewhere.aspx") sometimes causes a ThreadAbortException if the current (default) thread hasn't finished execution yet.
You can prevent this by using the overloaded redirect method.
Response.Redirect("~/Somewhere.aspx", false);

Like many companies, manufacturers often begin workforce development initiatives in the spring, hoping to reach graduating seniors in either high school or college with an interest in engineering, welding, machining, or technical work. If this sounds like your current talent acquisition strategy, there are some other factors you may want to consider. Making recruitment a continuous part of your marketing strategy, rather than an annual event, will yield better results in both quantity and quality.
The primary reason why you should be working to build your talent pipeline continuously is because both graduating and prospective students are making critical decisions about their futures much earlier, not just before they graduate. Driven, career-minded students are making decisions about their future as early as sophomore year of high school, and regularly take standardized tests that indicate where their aptitudes lie. Students deciding between a four-year college program and an apprenticeship, or a Master's degree and a few years working in the field will want to know what you have to offer them. By making recruitment a perpetual component of your overall marketing strategy, not only will you connect with more potential candidates, you will be able to inspire much younger students still learning about their passions and show them what the world of manufacturing has to offer.
It's entirely possible that your business isn't able to build the talent pipeline it needs because prime candidates don't even know that you exist during the time when they'd be the most receptive to your recruitment efforts. Recruitment is just another form of targeted marketing, and all marketing ventures sink or swim based on timing.
Many manufacturers don't view recruitment as an arm of marketing, but we disagree. Instead of marketing your products or services, you are marketing a lifestyle, a work atmosphere, and your company culture. And when looking at the student demographic, it's often just as important to market to the parents as it is the students. To do this effectively, students need to see the manufacturing jobs you have to offer as realistic alternatives to traditional higher education tracks.
With the heavy burden of national student debt, innovative training strategies in technical fields are becoming increasingly attractive to America's youth as they plan their futures. If you are able to provide in-house training or some form of certification that allows for continued upward mobility, then make those growth opportunities central to your messaging.
That's a lot to convey, and it can't be done in an interaction that only lasts a few minutes at a job fair. In order to reach new recruits, meet them where they're at. Younger generations spend more of their time online than any other, which makes a digital marketing strategy essential to reaching the most eligible young candidates. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is to dedicate some website space to describing your company culture and some of the benefits your company provides, particularly in additional training opportunities. Some additional methods for leveraging the internet in your recruitment strategy could involve social media advertising, video marketing, content marketing, career-centric podcasts, and online classes or programs geared towards educating high school and college students about manufacturing technology.
Recruitment is a lot more than career fairs and job postings. For more information on how to make the most of your talent acquisition efforts, get in touch with one of our marketing experts via the Contact page.

Chinese travelers are returning to Singapore, but a full recovery is not expected this year
Posted by UsTechCrunch | Jan 18, 2023 | BUSINESS, Chinese, travelers | 0 |
Singapore is welcoming them back, but a full return of Chinese tourists isn't likely in 2023, Singapore Tourism Board executives said at a press conference Tuesday.
Singapore Tourism Board's CEO Keith Tan cited limited flight capacity and the speed of China's border reopening as some of the reasons a full recovery from Chinese tourists isn't expected this year.
Tan told CNBC that travel recovery from China is unlikely to exceed 60% of pre-Covid levels by year-end.
"We are hoping to get, for the whole year 2023, between 30% to 60% of where we were compared to the whole year 2019," he said. "In our most ambitious and aggressive scenarios, we hope that things will be almost back to normal by the end of 2023."
Currently, the number of flights from Singapore to China is only 10% of what it was pre-Covid. Unlike other countries in Asia, Singapore has not imposed new Covid-related restrictions on travelers from China.
Singapore's tourism industry is expected to recover to pre-pandemic levels by 2024, according to its tourism board.
Competition from Hong KongTan said he welcomes competition from Hong Kong in terms of MICE — meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions.
Hong Kong "will throw a lot of resources to secure and anchor a whole range of events," he said.
"I welcome that competition. I think it is good, and I'm glad that Hong Kong is back in business … but that also means that we have to work harder at securing a good set of events and investments for Singapore."
Juliana Kua, assistant CEO of Singapore Tourism Board, added that there is "a strong pipeline of MICE events coming up to attract Chinese corporate travelers."
Kua said that a trend observed among Chinese travelers is small group bookings with customized itineraries, rather than off-the-shelf packaged tours. The Singapore Tourism Board is targeting these travelers, she said.
Singapore's international visitor arrivals reached 6.3 million in 2022, which is 33% of 2019 levels, according to Singapore Tourism Board's statistics. About 1.1 million visitors came from Indonesia, the highest number of arrivals from any country.
Preliminary estimates for tourism receipts are between $13.8 billion and $14.3 billion Singapore dollars ($10.4 billion and $10.8 billion), which is around half of 2019's tourism revenue.

by Madeline Hill | Sep 12, 2012 | General QDRO Info
There are various taxation issues to consider before obtaining a QDRO to divide retirement benefits pursuant to a marital dissolution or divorce.
TYPICAL QDRO TAXATION
Generally, under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), an employee benefit plan or retirement plan makes direct payments to each party his or her share of benefits. Each party is taxed on the benefits paid to him or her (as long as the parties are spouses or former spouses). The plan will report distribution information to the IRS and issue the appropriate tax forms to the parties. As mentioned above, only a spouse or former spouse can be treated as a "distributee" for income tax purposes. See IRC §402(e)(1)(A).
However, if an employee (instead of the plan) is making payments to a former spouse (because there is no QDRO or because the former spouse has exercised Gillmore rights), then the plan will report all distributions as income to the employee, and the employee spouse will likely be taxed on all distributions and will not be able to take a tax deduction for payments made to a former spouse, unless the payments to the former spouse qualify for spousal support tax treatment.
TAX ON EARLY DISTRIBUTION – 10% PREMATURE WITHDRAWAL PENALTY
If an employee takes an early distribution, i.e. before age 59 ½, the distribution is taxed as ordinary income to the employee and there is an additional 10% tax penalty levied on the amount distributed. See IRC §72(t)(1). Payments under a QDRO made to an Alternate Payee are exempt from the additional 10% penalty on early distribution pursuant to IRC §72(t)(2)(c).
TAX TREATMENT OF ROLLOVERS
Most defined contribution plan distributions to alternate payees can be rolled into an IRA or other eligible retirement plan without any income tax or withholding consequences at the time of rollover, as long as the rollover is a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer.
If a direct rollover does not occur, the alternate payee receives the funds and rolls them over within 60 days of receipt, then the amount rolled over will not be taxes as income but 20% will be automatically withheld by the IRS. The IRS will only refund the 20% withheld after the alternate payee files a tax return for that year; further if the alternate payee does not replace the 20% withheld when making the deposit in into the IRA or other plan (i.e. only 80% of the original distribution is redeposited), then the IRS will consider the 20% withheld to be a distribution to the alternate payee and he/she will be taxed on that distribution. As you can see, it is critical to ensure that a direct rollover occur in order to avoid penalties and taxation issues.
WHAT IF THE ALTERNATE PAYEE IS NOT THE EMPLOYEE'S SPOUSE OR FORMER SPOUSE?
A child or other dependent of a participant may be an alternate payee under a QDRO, such as a QDRO for child support, but a distribution to an individual who is not the spouse or former spouse of the retirement plan participant will be taxable to the employee-participant only, not to the alternate payee.
TAXATION ISSUES FOR REGISTERED DOMESTIC PARTNERS' QDROS
The federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) does not recognize domestic partners as spouses (or former spouses) for federal tax purposes. As described in the previous paragraph, this means that the employee/plan participant will have to pay taxes on any distributions paid to a registered domestic partner. In order to address this inequity, parties in the dissolution of a domestic partnership may agree to award all retirement benefits to the employee partner and to offset such award with other community property being awarded to the non-employee partner.

Any further ideas here ?

A: You had a previous run apt-get interrupted and the package database is in inconsistent state. "apt-get -f install" will fix that and will finish whatever it was doing when it was interrupted. Then you will be able to install other packages, including openssl.


Once in a blue moon I spend an afternoon with John Melskens, one of Amsterdam's finest street photographers. We don't go that far into the city and we don't spend more than one or two hours, but we always come back with something interesting.
These results I usually post on my street photography site hvdk.com as a complete series. Yesterday we went out with a different goal in mind. I was going to make a short film of him at work.
It was fun, but after filming for about an hour I wanted to take some photographs too. I took three and there was one I liked so I am posting it here instead of on hvdk.com where I tend to post larger series. Soon I will be posting the video after the editing is done in this same category, that is of course if the final product is any good.

Innovative health model gives teens a safe place to seek care
24 September 2022 | Ian Bushnell

Mental health issues, contraception, gender concerns, mystery rashes. It's a wide range of health matters from a diverse group of young people but with a common theme – the need for a safe space to seek help.
Since day one, term one this year, Teen Clinic at the YWCA Canberra Mura Lanyon Youth and Community Centre has been helping young people who might otherwise not see a doctor receive the treatment or counselling they need.
The nurse-run clinic is based on the successful Teen Clinic model in Bega and operated by Directions Health Services, with funding support from Canberra Foundations Collaborative, a partnership of Hands Across Canberra which administers the Chief Minister's Charitable Fund, the Snow Foundation, and the John James Foundation.
It is making a difference for young people still feeling the effects of the pandemic restrictions and those who feel isolated from mainstream services.
Like 17-year-old Annie who was referred by a friend because she was engaging in sexually risky behaviour. The clinic was able to connect her to a GP, provide contraception, counselling and screening for STIs.
Or 16-year-old Emily, referred by a school counsellor for anxiety, depression and gender dysphoria, is now seeing a psychologist.

Fifteen-year-old Leanne was brought in by her youth worker. She had been self-harming, vaping daily and downing excessive energy drinks. After establishing rapport, nurses were able to speak with her father, with Leanne's consent, and refer her to a local GP and the Teen Clinic psychologist.
Advanced practice nurse Sandy Lendrum says the key is being accessible, a place less intimidating than a doctor's surgery or hospital where teenagers don't need to be accompanied by a parent or have a Medicare card.
"Just being located somewhere where there are young people anyway, being in walking distance of public transport and being drop-in, confidential, no Medicare needed, a free service to talk about anything," Sandy says.
It takes a village to raise a child, says Sandy, and Teen Clinic works with local GPs and pharmacies, businesses, schools and their nurses, social workers and teachers.
Sandy sees the full gamut of conditions, although sexual and mental health figure prominently, especially the latter as a result of COVID-19.
The clinic has its own psychologist but clients can be referred to other services such as headspace, although Sandy says the model is to work collaboratively and not fragment the care being offered.
Sandy says the clinic serves teens who may not be in the high-risk category and as a result often go unnoticed.
"We just see this kind of middle that sits underneath there, and then when they stick their head up, they're very unwell," she says. "But we're trying to target that group of kids, the missing middle where they're anxious, school avoiders, depressed, a bit of self-harm.
"And then they're not being catered for at all because there's no services really, for them."
Teen Clinic advanced practice nurses Sandy Lendrum and Meghan Campbell, with Directions Health CEO Bronwyn Hendry.
Sandy says the clinic also provides reliable information, so kids are not taking their cue from social media.
But she has a word of warning for parents. Their involvement may only work with the consent of their children, especially if the children don't believe they have a problem.
"We love to have parents come along, no problem at all, and we also would encourage kids to speak with their parents or their significant adults in their life," she says.
"So parents are definitely very welcome. There are cases however, where having the parents around isn't helpful."
Only a couple of cases of family violence have presented and that falls into the mandatory reporting category.
But Sandy says having the backing of Directions Health, which has a lot of experience and knowledge, has been important. She also praises the role of schools and teachers in that space.
"They just do the most amazing stuff for kids, well beyond teaching them," she says. "They really do have a great rapport with kids, which is what you need, and they are able to help them."

Sandys says Canberra's community-embedded Teen Clinic model is something she'd like to see more of across the city.
"I feel like it does point to these accessible user-friendly models that are within walking distance to colleges and schools," she says.
"It's so simple, and cheap to run because you're using community resources."
Directions Health director, service delivery, Stephanie Stephens also would like to see Teen Clinic become a permanent fixture and spread its wings.
"We've currently got term funding. But we'd very much like for it to be a mainstay, but we'd also like to have a teen clinic elsewhere as well," she says.
"We certainly have put in for some funding. And we've had some fixed funding come through but that only goes part of the way. We're still in need of additional ongoing funding for the program."
Collaborative member and Snow Foundation CEO, Georgina Byron, says the focus on youth services was vital at this time of uncertainty and change.
"It's so important that we have a true understanding of how the sector is doing, we need to know what worker burnout, and other factors, are having on the availability of youth services in the region," she said.
"This is in addition to the development of new services, created with young people in mind, as we recover from COVID and begin to understand its true impact."
Ms Byron said the physical and mental health of young people had taken a serious knock from three years of the pandemic.
"The uncertainty for young people associated with changes to just about every aspect of our lives must be taken seriously," she said.
"We must find ways to provide young Canberrans with safe, caring, low or no cost, available health-based environments, where they feel it's OK to share their physical and mental health worries and needs."
Anyone experiencing distress can seek immediate advice and support through Lifeline (13 11 14), Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800), or the digital mental health gateway, Head to Health.
If you are concerned about suicide, living with someone considering suicide, or bereaved by suicide, the Suicide Call Back Service is available at 1300 659 467.

What Was Published in 1968? Frederick Exley's "A Fan's Notes" & John Brunner's "Stand on Zanzibar"
The internet is sometimes Dadaistic. Take the 1968 Club. Sponsored by Kaggsy's Bookish Ramblings, this whimsical group of readers is spending a week ( Oct. 30-Nov. 5) reading and posting about books published in 1968.
The task sounds simple–until you discover that none of your favorite writers published that year. Turns out Margaret Drabble, Peter Handke, Kawabata, Lynne Reid Banks, A. S. Byatt, Clifford D. Simak, Kingsley Amis, Doris Lessing, Marguerite Duras, Merle Miller, Richard Yates, and Sue Kaufman published books in 1967 or 1969, but not in 1968. I looked up so many writers that it became a joke!
So what's a girl to do? I am re-posting bits from my blog about two neglected 1968 classics, Frederick Exley's A Fan's Notes and John Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar. Enjoy!
First up, Exley. In Frederick Exley's A Fan's Notes, a fictional memoir published in 1968, the hero, also called Frederick Exley, cannot hold a job. Exley, an alcoholic, is in and out of mental hospitals, sponges off his parents, or lives at a bachelor friend's apartment where flamboyant, sad characters drop in all day, including an Italian who sometimes believes he is a hit man.
A Fan's Notes should have been Top of the List for our Mental Health Christmas. One year my cousin became manic from a steroid prescribed for an ear infection (a side effect). At the hospital she was not herself: she wore a bra over her sweater, sang Van Morrison's "Days Like This" at the top of her lungs, and demanded that we bring presents for her "new friends." And so we rather lamely distributed McDonald's milkshakes and old books in the common room.
If only we'd had A Fan's Notes.
Exley wittily delineates and skewers the customs and hypocrisy of the American middle class in a brilliant narrative akin to Richard Yates's Revolutionary Road and Sue Kaufman's Diary of a Mad Housewife. Depressed Exley turns down advertising jobs before he gets them, teaches off and on at a high school, and drives from Glacial Falls to Watertown every weekend to get drunk and watch Giants games.
He is amazed by the limitations of the English department chairman and teachers. One teacher informs Exley that he should not talk at meetings because "talking took time."
This is a great American novel, by a writer whose work is out of fashion.
You can read the rest of my post about it here!
Next up, John Brunner. I love John Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar (1968), a post-modern science fiction classic. Set in 2010, it is a brilliant book, the story of a future dominated by a giant too-smart computer, geneticists' control of reproduction, and miserable citizens who hate their work. Women don't always have permanent homes: "shiggies" stay with men who pick them up, sometimes for a night, sometimes longer. "Dicties" (addicts) wander the streets, and "muckers" kill people at random.
The narrative is broken up by quotations from radical sociologist Chad Mulligan (who is rather like Marshall McLuhan) and TV blurbs from news and rumors on Scanalyzer.
Here is one of the definitions from Chad Mulligan's book, The Hipcrime Vocab:
Hipcrime: you committed one when you opened this book. Keep it up. It's our only hope.
Here is an excerpt from Brunner's futuristic New York Times editorial:
Like living creatures, automobiles expired when their environment became saturated with their own excreta. We ourselves are living creatures. We don't want the same to happen to us. That's why we have genetic legislation.
The novel follows two main threads: Norman, an African-American executive in New York, is wretched and lonely. But eventually he is chosen to rule Benini, an African country whose president, Obami (I am not kidding!), is dying and wants to hand this small, peaceful country over to someone who can unite it with the West.
Donald's fate is much worse. He is a spy paid to read obscure journals and books to spot trends. Finally he is activated to be a killing machine and assassinate an Asian geneticist who has threatened the Western world by scientific discoveries.
I'm not going to write about this at length: it is a very complicated book. But if you like science fiction, you will be impressed by Brunner's writing. Some of it is very like our present.
Here is TIME'S COVER FOR 1968, not a very happy time in history. And Exley's and Brunner's books reflect that.

Post-Apocalyptically Hot & John Brunner's The Sheep Look Up
It is post-apocalyptically hot outside. Miles and miles of eerie, empty streets. The humidity frizzes our hair as we ride our bikes: we all suddenly have 1972 perms. Wear your good clothes: Sweated-up L. L. Bean gets more respect than J. C. Penney. Stop frequently for water.
Here are some temperatures to consider: 103 in Phoenix, AZ; 95 in Little Rock, AR; 97 in Dallas, TX; 91 in Washington, D.C.; 90 in Omaha, NE; 91 in Des Moines, IA; 90 in New York, NY. (Put them in a column and it's a poem.)
We had a heat wave in June; now the heat is back. Who is responsible for climate change? What a long list: industrialists, politicians, power companies, etc., going back to the 19th century. We have all had the information about pollution and global warming since the '60s, and yet we are all fossil fuel junkies. The car and truck emissions cause one-fifth of all U.S. emissions, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. And I don't know about you, but I have my air conditioner on.
A few good things: the air is actually cleaner (though not very clean) since the Clean Air Act in 1973. (There is a long way to go, but the EPA measures air emissions and at least there's no lead in the air now!) And Science magazine reported last week that the Antarctic hole in the ozone layer has begun to heal. The scientists say it's because of the Montreal protocol, an international agreement in 1987 that phased out the industrial production of ozone-destroying chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
I recently read John Brunner's The Sheep Look Up , a 1972 dystopian classic. In this terrifying post-modern literary SF novel, pollution has rendered the U.S. practically a wasteland. The poisoned air blows into Canada and sometimes across the ocean to Europe (sound familiar?); everyone is sick; antibiotics no longer work; fleas and rat infestations in houses and apartment house can no longer be controlled because they are immune to poison; the acid rain in NY is so bad that you need to wear plastic outside; the water is poisoned (there are frequent "no-drink water" days); intelligence levels are dropping (lead in the air and water); a virus causes spontaneous abortion; the oceans are so polluted that people vacation in Colorado rather than California; and big businesses are profiting by selling air filters, water filters, etc.
There is a huge cast of characters, but at the center of the novel is Austin Train, a radical environmentalist who has gone undercover. The novel is not ABOUT him, but all the characters (journalists, nurses, policemen, factory workers, drop-outs, housewives, rich industrialists) react to his ideas. Most of them are distorted by his followers, known as Trainites. And there are dozens of men who call themselves Austin Train. Many of them urge violence.
The narrative is broken up into fascinating short segments: traditional narratives, radio broadcasts, news, announcements, poems, etc. One segment is called "Signs of the Times. The signs are arranged in rectangles on the page, making it look like a flow chart, but I can't duplicate that here. Anyway, here are the signs:
THE BEACH NOT SAFE FOR SWIMMING
NOT DRINKING WATER
UNFIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION
Now Wash Your Hands (Penalty for noncompliance $50)
FILTERMASK DISPENSER (Use product only once – maximum 1 hour)
OXYGEN (25 cents)
Some of the most horrifying incidents in The Sheep Look Up revolve around hunger. An industry that manufactures food for international relief ships a poisoned batch to a country in Africa experiencing famine: people who eat it go crazy and kill each other. The same thing happens in the Honduras. There are cover-ups. But no one really knows what happened. And then a "worm" imported from South America kills most of the food being grown in the U.S.
Austin Train knows there's no hope for the U.S., but there might be for the planet.
Let us hope there's hope for all of us!
A very gloomy book, but it does show us what the future could hold. A little too long, but a great novel! You really don't need any more dystopian novels after you've read this.

John Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar & What Do We Want?
I've been reading science fiction.
After the Today Book Club fiasco (If you recall, I couldn't read The Bone Season), I wanted to read something good.
I just finished John Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar (1968), a post-modern science fiction classic. Set in 2010, it is a brilliant book, the story of a future dominated by a giant too-smart computer, geneticists' control of reproduction, and miserable citizens who hate their work. Women don't always have permanent homes: "shiggies" stay with men who pick them up, sometimes for a night, sometimes longer. "Dicties" (addicts) wander the streets, and "muckers" kill people at random.
IN WHICH WE DECIDE WHAT WE WANT AND WHEN WE WANT IT.
What do we want? Peace!
When do we want it? Now!
I was listening to Woodstock when my friend Janet dropped in. Pure nostalgia: Arlo Guthrie, Jefferson Airplane. I was too young for Woodstock, but did you see Ang Lee's movie, Taking Woodstock, about the making of the rock festival?
I was still in my pajamas. Do you have days like that? I had showered, but then jumped into a pair of FRESH pajamas.
It's the weekend.
Husband outside, doing husband things. Woman inside, reading.
There might have been cat hair on my pajamas.
DID my hair stick up as I suspected?
HAD I shaved my legs this month?
"Come in," I said sleepily. "Have breakfast."
She helped herself to tea while I changed into something less comfortable (jeans). I made faces in the mirror.
"Well–l-l," I said.
I had been doing the dishes in shifts: glasses last night, dishes this morning. Janet was laughing at me. "No bowls? How can I eat cereal?"
"I'll wash you a bowl."
She doesn't clean much either. She works, goes to the opera, and has a poetry group. She is going to the Poetry Sucks! event at The Southern Festival of Books next month.
She begged me to attend Poetry Sucks! with her. Her boyfriend, whom she broke up with after the cross-state bike ride in July, was supposed to go.
"Please. You'll love it," she said.
I can't go to Poetry Sucks! I went to the Southern Festival of Books one year and I loved it, but you don't want to go to an event like that with Janet. Within two hours she will have taken up with a man. This has happened many, many times. There you are, in a bar alone. And you go back to the hotel and God knows where she is.
"Janet, no."
"I might read at Open Mic."
"No, really, I'm chaste now," she said abruptly. "I'm even menopausal. And I've stopped dyeing my hair."
Hm. A few gray hairs. That WAS new for Janet. She has been dyeing her hair since I've known her. But frankly what does that mean? Gray hair, menopause. It's all the same. You do not lose your sex.
"Well, how about your poetry group?" I said vaguely.
"No, they're worried about the same thing you're worried about."
I got the blueberries out for the cereal and sat down. "Granola, anyone?"
I want a peaceful weekend.

My father passed approximately three years ago and my mother passed a few months before him. I am the executor of his small estate. All taxes have been paid and the estate is closed and all funds have been disbursed according to their wishes. How long must I keep all the documents supporting what I did and how long must I keep their financial records i.e. W2's, tax returns and sale of their home to move into a retirement center? Thank You a confused son.
Given what you've written, the most significant challenge to the assets they once owned would come from a state Medicaid program — IF they used Medicaid to finance their "retirement center" move. States can "look back" from 5-7 years, depending on the state, to ask for repayment of benefits.
Other than that, and since the estate has been closed and is not being challenged, either by beneficiaries or the IRS, there is no particular reason to keep this documentation. But you really asked the wrong person. I am a saver of all documentation regarding taxes and finances! So if you have room in your basement, let it linger a while longer!

Home / Politics / Several decisions of Al-Sarraj for years have not yet seen the light.
Several decisions of Al-Sarraj for years have not yet seen the light.
September 2, 2020	Politics Leave a comment 54 Views
Since assuming power in the country after the signing of the Skhirat Agreement and naming him head the Presidential Council of , Fayez Al-Sarraj has issued many decisions in recent years, as some of them have not been destined to see the light to remain confined to the paper on which they were written on or in the drawers and devices of archive departments in the various ministries.
Among these decisions, which did not see the light, the General Electricity Company, for which Al-Sarraj chairs the general assembly, signed in December 2017 at the headquarters of the German Foreign Ministry in Berlin, in the presence of the President of the Presidential Council, Fayez Al-Sarraj, a contract to establish two electric power plants in Tripoli and Misurata, with Siemens.
The media office of Al-Sarraj added on its official page that the production capacity of the power plant to be established in Tripoli is about 690 megawatts, while the production capacity of the Misurata plant will reach about 640 megawatts.
In December 2018, Al-Sarraj issued Decree No. 1686 of 2018, allocating a sum of one billion dinars for the development of the south, according to what was published by Al-sarraj's media office on his official page.
The second article of the decision stipulates that the financial value mentioned in this decision shall be financed from the proceeds of the fees imposed on foreign exchange sales, but the decision remained on paper, and the allocated value has not yet been spent.
Decisions on Paper
In January 2018, Al-Sarraj and then Minister of Education Othman Abdul-Jalil attended the signing of an agreement to provide health insurance services to teachers, faculty members, and employees in the public and higher education sector.
The aforementioned agreement was signed between the Ministry and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Health Insurance Fund, as the decision aims to provide treatment and medical services for all education sector workers and their families, in all parts of the country.
In April 2019, Al-Sarraj announced the allocation of 100 million Libyan dinars to support some municipalities. To provide aid, and basic needs for the displaced and those affected in conflict areas, while many municipalities complained that no money was received by them in this regard.
In the same context, Al-Sarraj instructed Finance Minister Faraj Boumtari, last June, to make a financial settlement of 100 million dinars for the families of the victims of the "Volcano of Anger and Al-Bunyan Al-Marsous" operations and the February fighters, which has not happened until now.
Previous World Health Organization describes removing Corona restrictions completely as a "disaster".
Next Sirte and Al Jufra Operation Room: Haftar's militias violated the ceasefire again.
Human Rights Watch calls on the Libyan authorities to protect prisoners and displaced persons from the Coruna outbreak.
Will the countries supporting Haftar abandon him after the successive victories of the Libyan army.
Al-Araby Al-Jadeed: Haftar obstructs sending international observers to Libya and demands that his "forces" be installed in Sirte and Al-Jufra.
Haftar and his militias claim they are protecting the people… and shut off water at the time of the epidemic.
Fayez Al-Sarraj: The Libyan citizen is suffering due to political division and punishing those who communicate with the GNA is irresponsible

Disability Confident interview scheme
As part of our commitment to encouraging disabled people to apply to the Welsh Government we will offer an interview to disabled people who meet the minimum requirements for the post.
Welsh Government has adopted the social model definition of disability, which recognises that barriers in society act to disable people who have impairments or health conditions or who use British Sign Language. We are committed to removing barriers so that all (or potential new) staff can perform at their best. The Equality Act 2010 uses the medical model definition of disability ("a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term impact on a person's ability to carry out normal day to day activities").
We guarantee to interview anyone who is disabled, whose application meets the minimum criteria for the post. By 'minimum criteria' we mean that you must provide us with evidence in your application which demonstrates that you generally meet the level of competence for the role and any qualifications, skills or experience defined as essential.
If you have an impairment or health condition, or use British Sign Language and need to discuss reasonable adjustments for any part of this recruitment process, or wish to discuss how we will support you if you were to be successful, please contact the Corporate Shared Service Centre - sharedservicehelpdesk@gov.wales.
We are committed to the employment and career development of disabled people.
Our approach to equality
The Welsh Government published its strategic equality objectives in 2016 and these included the commitment
The Welsh Government will aim to be an exemplar in the equality, diversity and inclusion agenda by 2020.
In order to have a diverse workforce, Welsh Government welcomes applications from everyone regardless of age, marriage (including equal/same sex marriage) and civil partnership, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, disability, race, religion or belief or pregnancy/maternity.
We actively encourage applications from groups currently underrepresented in our workforce such as people from a Black or Minority Ethnic background and disabled people. We have adopted the Disability Confident Interview Scheme – full guidance of which is shown in more detail below.
This new Apprenticeship campaign aims to encourage more people to apply from all different backgrounds ensuring that Welsh Government builds on being representative of the communities we serve. There are numerous policies and practices in place which support colleagues and line managers to ensure Diversity and Inclusion is key in what we do and how we support staff. For this Apprenticeship Scheme we'll be adopting anonymised sift as well as ensuring our interview panels are made up with a diverse range of colleagues.
There are a number of staff diversity networks which have a healthy membership and allies schemes, these are forums where you can get advice and guidance, as well as enjoying network events and social activities. These are:
Disability Awareness and Support
Minority Ethnic Staff Network
PRISM (LGBT+)
In recent years we have been awarded Level 3 Leader Status for being a Disability Confident employer, we are currently 8th in the UK for Stonewall Workplace Index which supports Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender (LGBT) employee's, we have signed up to the Race at Work Charter and are included on the list of organisations that have been recognised as an inclusive employer for race. We have also been awarded Gold status by a:gender the inclusive support network for staff in Government Departments and Agencies, covering all aspects of gender reassignment, gender identity, gender expression and Intersex.
We pride ourselves as being an employer of choice, an organisation in which people want to work and are proud to work. For this reason, we have put the principles of human rights, equality, fairness, dignity and respect at the heart of our values.
Diversity - We measure it because it matters
We are committed to being an equal opportunities employer. We wish to ensure that all applicants are treated fairly and appointed solely on their suitability for the post irrespective of who you are or where you come from.
We are sensitive to the fact that some people would rather not complete diversity forms - maybe because they fear the information will be misused. However we assure you that all information provided is kept strictly confidential, used PURELY for statistical purposes and will not be used to influence recruitment decisions.
A copy of our diversity policy is available upon request.
