EOI - Additional State Funded General Practice Respiratory Clinics (GPRC)
Information for the Victorian Department of Health funded General Practice Respiratory Clinics
Ongoing COVID-19 cases in Victoria has highlighted the critical role of primary care in reducing demand on hospitals, including presentations to emergency departments (EDs) for respiratory-type symptoms. The Victorian Government and Victorian Primary Health Networks are collaborating to support more Victorians to access respiratory assessments and COVID-19 testing and care close to where they live.
Eight additional GP respiratory clinics (GPRCs) will be rapidly set up across metropolitan Melbourne to support people of all ages with respiratory symptoms to access a comprehensive respiratory assessment (including COVID-19 testing and other pathogen testing) and receive immediate support in management of their illness. Services will be available to those with or without a Medicare card, at no cost to the patient, with the fit for purpose facility open after hours.
Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (EMPHN) is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from accredited general practices in the priority local government areas of The City of Whitehorse and The Shire of Yarra Ranges (LGAs) to rapidly establish four GP respiratory clinics that have assessment, testing and initial treatment support capabilities. Accredited general practices may express their interest in participating in the program as per the guidelines below.
This EOI is intended to identify individual general practices capable of participating in this program with rollout to commence in May 2022 for a period of 6 months. An EOI must be completed for each individual practice location using EMPHN's procurement platform by visiting at www.eprocure.com.au/emphn.

All eyes are on Nagesh Kukunoor as the much-awaited film Dhanak is set to release next month. This time around, before they watch the film, children can now read the movie. Duckbill Books is publishing Dhanak 's novelisation on June 10, a week before the film releases. The book is written by one of India's beloved children's books writers, Anushka Ravishankar, one of the founders of Duckbill.
Dhanak 's trailer already looks promising, and it has been garnering attention internationally. The story is about a pair of siblings who live in Rajasthan with their uncle and aunt. Pari is determined that Chotu will get his eyesight back before his ninth birthday, but that's barely a couple of months away. Things look up when Pari sees a poster with Shah Rukh Khan urging people to donate their eyes. She starts writing letters to the actor, asking him to help Chotu. When Shah Rukh Khan comes to Rajasthan for a shoot, Pari and Chotu set off on a road trip, determined to meet the actor and get Chotu's eyesight back. En route they encounter all sorts of people: some helpful, others kind, some horrid, and others mysterious. The book also includes eight pages of colour photographs and interviews with Hetal Gada and Krrish Chabria, the actors who play the siblings.
The story is all about moments: the banter between the siblings over Salman and Shah Rukh Khan, Chotu's incessant demand for food, and the warmth and solidity of their relationship. Rajasthan is an intense, vibrant backdrop, its characters flitting in and out in all shades of grey and myriad colours. Unlikely friendships, the kindness of strangers, and preserving against all odds are themes woven into the plot.
At some point, you forget that this is a novelisation of a movie; it's easy to get lost in the story.
But then Ravishankar has written memorable children's books such as Tiger on a Tree , Catch that Crocodile! , To Market! To Market! , and Moin and the Monster . Her mathematics degree has been put to good use in Captain Coconut & The Case of the Missing Bananas .
According to the Duckbill founders, Dhanak is the first Indian novelisation of a children's film. In the past, K.A. Abbas has novelised Bobby and Mera Naam Joker , but there aren't that many examples. And none for children's films.

New No More Heroes Pics: Travis Touchdown in "The 30ish Year Old Virgin"
As always, I have No More Heroes on the mind. For those that don't know, the game is being produced, written, and directed by Suda 51, friend to Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikimi, and Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai. These are the four most creative guys in gaming, and it's no suprise that they hang out and make games together.
Out of the four, Suda is by far the weirdest, and also the least commercially successful. I think that may change with No More Heroes. The game is looking to combine all the best elements of sandbox games and brawlers, but with a visual style that's "balls to the walls" classy.
No More Heroes may just do for the 40 Year Old Virgin what GTA: Vice City did for 80's mafia movies fans and GTA:San Andreas did for wanna-be 90's gangster rap.
Looks like character customization is in, just like GTA.
Has this sort of parady/tribute to the mordern day bacholor nerd ever been so overt and promenant in a video game before? Not to my knowledge.
This is truly post modern shit we're talking here. Travis Touchdown is the kind of guy who would actually play No More Heroes. In this game, he's truly living the dream.
Do you think Mario would ever play a Mario game, Master Cheif a Halo game, or Snake a Metal Gear Solid game? They'd all be to busy doing hero stuff. But not Travis. He's a fucking nerd, just like the rest of us.
And it's about time. It takes a lot of guts to proudly display to the world that you are a hopeless geek in the way that Travis does. He's not ashamed to own a kitten instead of a rotwieler. He likes girls...
...but he clearly doesn't feel a need to comprimise his tastes to get them in the sack.
That, my friends, takes true substance of character. That takes real balls.
I know Suda 51 wasn't planning for this game to have much of a message, but like it or not, it's sending one to me already, and it's not even out yet.
Fast forward to 5:45min for special Tay Zonday cameo, and up to 5:05min for the message that I speak of.

How can your region, country, or city solve the problems plaguing your people? Do you look to the politicians, bureaucrats, or corporate leaders? Where can you find professional problem solvers?
Rather than looking up the hierarchies, you need to look outside of them. Seek out the entrepreneurs, hackers, and startup teams. You see, these are the professional problem solvers who can save your people and unlock your economy's innovative potential. Harnessing these business creators' abilities can make or break your regional development, so how do you work with business creators to solve your region's most pressing problems?
The answer is a four-step process: discovering, training, prioritizing, and empowering.
Where do you find professional problem solvers? Usually, they are absorbed in launching their own ventures, so they are often too busy to engage with your agenda. This is why you need to catch them early, discovering them within your region's educational system.
Although they may not be the best students on paper, problem solvers are not too difficult to spot. According to Harvard Business Review, serial entrepreneurs tend to possess higher than average levels of five traits: persuasion, leadership, personal accountability, goal orientation, and interpersonal skills. From the computer science to the public policy departments in your region's universities, you can identify the problem solvers by their dedication to devising novel solutions to their assignments. Extracurricular pursuits, such as launching side hustles or attending hackathons, can also provide tell-tale signs of problem solving potential.
If you want your region to flourish, you must take people with problem solving instincts and cultivate a class of professional problem solvers. Problem solvers will not always be familiar with startups and their development phases. They may not be inclined to engage with startups because they have their hearts set on corporate or government work. It is your job to teach them otherwise, educating and engaging them in startup culture.
This is an area where Startup Commons can help. Our Growth Academy Training Curriculum provides illuminating content to expose people to the exciting world of startups. Growth Academy is designed to provide a roadmap for potential startup teams and support providers to grow successful startups. Additionally, Startup Commons provides a wide array of free content and resources that you can use to train business creators.
Once you have cultivated a class of professional problem solvers, you need to focus them on your region's most pressing problems. The best way to do this is through challenges.
Professional problem solvers love to test their limits with difficult problems. By framing a problem as a nearly impossible challenge, you can engage the best people to design solutions. Hosting hackathons or offering cash prizes are ways to do this on a small scale. On a larger scale you can design accelerator and investment programs that are focused on specific problem sectors, such as water scarcity or food insecurity.
As an example of a challenge, Startup Commons is providing an app challenge where ecosystem developers can submit problems for application developers to solve. The solutions will be featured in Startup Commons' Ecosystem OS Application Marketplace.
After successfully completing training and prioritization, you must empower your professional problem solvers to bring their solutions to life. This often requires substantial resources and robust support systems, which is where startup ecosystems come into play.
Startups need a whole host of factors to succeed, ranging from talent to capital. Ideally, your region will begin attracting these necessities once you cultivate a class of professional problem solvers and establish a startup culture, as well as a business-friendly regulatory environment. Nevertheless, empowering professional problem solvers can be a difficult task.
Luckily, the Startup Commons team are internationally renowned experts in startup ecosystem development. Please contact us if you reach the empowerment phase and are interested in workshops, training, or consulting.
Startup Commons is here to help your region thrive, and we hope that you found the lessons in this blog post valuable.
Related to this, few weeks back at Global Entrepreneurship Congress, Istanbul, we did a speech about "Digital Side of Startup Ecosystem Development". The presentation materials of this speech, include many valuable learnings and insights that can help to contribute to projects under this area.
In our recent blog post "Entrepreneurship Education: Educating to jobs vs. Educating job creators." we wrote extensively about our views related to this topic in general, as well as concrete initiatives that we are currently working on.
Naturally the points covered in this post, would also be big positive contributors for Special Interest Area 2: Barriers to entrepreneurship as well.
In both of these topics, if the related solutions we have described would already be broadly available, those would bring enormous help also in enabling Causal research (specific area 4), especially to tackle the known challenges Causal Research Studies related to Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs). As well, as contributing to all sample topics regards to questions about "how do we measure...?".
The fourth area itself, causal research, is naturally connected to all three other areas in many other ways as well.
Below, we also want to contribute to the creation of causal research studies in the entrepreneurship space in general as well.
Kauffman "is interested in multi-site causal research the tests specific interventions designed to overcome barriers to entrepreneurship." This research should be focused on the United States and utilize randomized controlled trials (RCTs) across multiple sites.
Having identified that Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) can have limited generalizability, which limits their usefulness in informing program and/or policy design. As such, the Foundation is interested in projects that exploit rigorous causal research across multiple ecosystems which, by nature of being systems, comprise many moving parts.
We will use this post to explore general RCT design, so that you can more effectively propose experiments to Kauffman.
Aiming to reduce bias, randomized controlled trials randomly place study participants in a treatment or control group. Using a case example, the treatment group would receive an intervention designed to overcome barriers to entrepreneurship. The control group would receive a placebo intervention, meaning that they would receive a false intervention that would be designed to not accomplish anything. Randomization should be done after participants have been screened and selected for the experiment, but before the intervention is administered.
Based on research by Anthony J. Viera, MD, MPH and Shrikant I. Bangdiwala, PhD, RCTs are most effective when conducted in a single-blind or double-blind manner, also known as masking. In a single-blind experiment, the research participants do not know whether or not they are being given the treatment. This means, neither the research participants nor the experimenters know who is receiving the treatment in a double-blind experiment. Both of these methods can be used to eliminate bias.
Related to Kauffman Knowledge Challenge, as an example model for conducting randomized controlled trials across multiple sites is described as using entrepreneurs in one region as the control group and entrepreneurs in another region as the treatment group. But as already identified, this may give limited results. Since there will always be many differentiating factors between any two regions (i.e. different cultures, demographics, financial opportunities, industries, etc.), confounding, a situation where an experimenter cannot reasonably eliminate alternative explanations for an observation, can easily occur.
We agree that better results could be achieved where treatment and control group are located in the same region. And in addition, it make sense to replicate the study across multiple regions.
Another issue to take note of is the Hawthorne Effect, also known as the observer effect. When entrepreneurs know that they are being observed, they are likely to behave differently than they otherwise would. This limits the applicability of RCTs. Two ways to mitigate the Hawthorne Effect are; a) performing discrete observations and b) making the period of study as long as possible.
It it good to be aware of RCTs known limitations in and development of economics and entrepreneurship policy. If they are not conducted properly and applied too readily, they can potentially have even adverse effects on policy design.
By being aware of these challenges of RCTs, we hope that you can be better equipped to design proposals for the Kauffman Knowledge Challenge as well.
If you would like to leverage any of our materials in your white paper, additional ideas on experimental design or utilize or expertise, tools, resources etc. in your actual project if materialize, please reach out to Conor Flynn, our Operations Manager who is based in the United States. He is happy to help you to mitigate bias and confounding so that you can provide stronger data for informing future policy decisions and entrepreneurship interventions.


The Trump administration's attempt to broaden the market for short-term health plans is drawing wide interest among carriers looking to boost sales in the individual market. But health plans that go this route do so at the industry's peril, failing to recognize the potential long-term damage that short-term, limited duration insurance, or STLDI, plans will create for the industry.
That's exactly what they should be: a temporary solution to fill in coverage gaps in a pinch. But the proposed rule would change their coverage from the short-term, three months of coverage, to the long term: 12 months of coverage. The rule also would make the process to renew and reapply more convenient for current policyholders. In effect, insurers could offer STLDI plans as year-round plans.
These plans are and should remain stopgaps. But as long-term solutions, they are fake insurance—no more a substitute for real coverage than Neil Patrick Harris is a substitute for a real doctor.
The more they are offered to consumers, the greater the likelihood the insurance industry will face blowback as STLDI enrollees discover needs that will overwhelm their meager benefits. How soon we forget that dysfunction in the health insurance market was the impetus behind passage of the Affordable Care Act. Before 2009, one of the policy drivers of health reform was people winding up in bankruptcy because the health plan they thought would be there for them was wholly inadequate: it prompted calls for reform from both sides of the aisle.
Just as before, the danger for insurers if short-term plans proliferate is that consumers will begin to question the value of the underlying product when their coverage needs go beyond the low limits of short-term plans.
It's fair to argue that the ACA has been less successful in addressing market dysfunctions than its authors had hoped. But turning back the clock won't improve things. People who switch to 12-month STLDI plans expose themselves to higher out-of-pocket costs, greater financial hardships, and reduced access to services. At the same time, the risk pools in the marketplaces for ACA-compliant plans would be degraded. The Trump administration itself states that in the proposed regulation. Let's take them at their word on that.
Insurers gearing up to sell these plans to boost short-term profits should also consider the long-term consequences for the entire industry. Once the public is reintroduced to denials of care on the basis of pre-existing conditions, coverage limits and fine print, their response will be vehement—and wholly understandable. Insurers who offer the newly construed short-term plans will be providing the tools of their own demise to some future Congress.
As anything other than a stopgap, STLDIs are a mirage. The industry should be smart enough to not rush headlong into this expanded niche solely for short-term, limited-duration financial gain. It's an invitation to an inevitable case of seller's remorse.

Djokovic may be prevented from playing in Indian Wells and Miami by the authorities in the USA
By: Ashley
What happened 12 months ago in Australia, the man from Belgrade will never forget
Serbian tennis ace Novak Djokovic will be forced to miss the tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami if he does not get vaccinated against covid-19, as the authorities in the United States announced that non-citizens will have to have a vaccination certificate to enter the country.
From the middle of the statement of the US Transportation Security Administration, the information can be extracted that foreign air travelers must be fully vaccinated against covid-19 if they want to enter the United States, the order is in effect until April 10.
The Indian Wells tournament runs from March 6 to 19, while the Miami Open runs from March 20 to April 2. Djokovic thus risks missing two important hard-court tournaments.
The nine-time Australian Open winner is currently preparing to start the new season in Adelaide after his three-year ban from traveling to the country was lifted.
The man from Belgrade with permanent residence in Monte Carlo has such a great opportunity to win the opening grand slam of the season for the tenth time on January 29. But some bitter aftertaste still remains.
Although he recently said he would rather miss the Grand Slams than receive the covid-19 vaccine, he stressed last week that he will never forget how he felt when he was kicked out of Australia.
"What happened a year ago was not easy to digest for a while, but I had to move on," the popular Nole said on his return to Australia last week.

RALEIGH, N.C. – April 11, 2019.
FMI Corporation, the leading provider of management consulting and investment banking services to engineering and construction, infrastructure and the built environment, is pleased to announce the release of its "2019 M&A Trends for Engineering and Construction" report. The publication provides an overview of key trends driving merger and acquisition activity in today's North American engineering and construction market. This year's study results indicate that M&A activity will remain strong but is likely to return to more regular levels in 2019 and beyond.
Alex Miller, a managing director with FMI Capital Advisors, Inc. and author of the report, states, "In 2018, we saw a record level of M&A activity in the E&C sector and a 25 percent increase over 2017 activity. In 2019, we expect M&A activity to remain strong but likely to return to historic levels. The key drivers of acquisition activity remain, including demographic succession needs and the desire for buyers to grow and diversify their business, expand service and capabilities, and address the shortage of qualified labor in the industry.
Nearly 60% of all respondents indicated that acquisitions were a part of their current strategy.
Over 75% of all survey respondents believe that industry valuations have risen over the past 24 months, primarily due to the increased market activity and improved performance of target companies.
61% of survey respondents said that one of their competitors had been acquired in the past three years.
66% of all respondents said that one of their competitors had made an acquisition in the past three years.
46% of respondents have contemplated acquiring a technological solution or commercializing an in-house technology solution.

Manny Juncos was raised in South Central Los Angeles, an area that he remembers more for gangs and poverty than anything else.
But his mother promoted the value of education, and the gang life wasn't for him, so Juncos concentrated on school, graduating first from Loyola High and then the University of Southern California.
After an initial period spent working for public accounting firms, Juncos entered the movie business and went to work as the lead accountant for a company that produces IMAX films.
To those interested in working in the world of accounting, Juncos advises that you need to be detail-oriented and always looking for efficient ways to produce correct results for clients and customers. This is because companies such as PCL are always growing, and you will be continuously offered new challenges and opportunities.
In 1997, Juncos, by then a CPA, answered a newspaper ad for a company called PCL. Since then he has been a project accountant and an accountant at the district level. He is now a district accounting manager.


CROP also found widespread support (55 per cent) for leaving the crucifix in the National Assembly, another of Legault's promises. Twenty-eight per cent wanted to see it removed.
Alain Giguère, CROP's president, said the results indicated unprecedentedly high levels of support for banning religious symbols.
"I think we can conclude that the average Quebecer really wants to remove religion from the public sphere, especially for people who hold positions of authority," Giguère said.
"The numbers are high but they are the product of a public discussion that has lasted since Bouchard-Taylor," he said, referring to the public commission into reasonable accommodation that wrapped up in 2008.
One of the commission's key recommendations was that civil servants in positions of authority shouldn't be allowed to wear visible religious symbols. That, however, did not include teachers.
CROP's findings are based on an internet panel of 1,000 people. They were asked which government professions should be subject to a ban on religious symbols. The questionnaire did not specify which symbols would be at issue.
When data science firm Vox Pop Labs recently asked Quebecers more detailed questions by about the specific religious symbols they object to, and in which professions, the answers varied widely.
Vox Pop, which operates Vote Compass for CBC and Radio-Canada, surveyed 4,000 people about identity issues in the month after the election.
Respondents were shown images of various types of religious clothing and symbols and asked to choose different situations where they should be banned.
The results suggested high levels of support — 87 per cent — for preventing police officers and judges from wearing the burka, a full body covering with only a mesh screen for the eyes.
But that number dropped to around 65 per cent for the turban and kippa.
The Vox Pop findings also suggested Quebecers are, in fact, divided about what religious symbols teachers should be allowed to wear in the classroom.
The kippa was opposed by 49 per cent, the turban by 51 per cent, the hijab by 52 per cent and a large cross by 53 per cent.
Vox Pop summarized its findings by noting a majority of survey participants — 55 per cent — backed the so-called Bouchard-Taylor consensus.
The research firm, though, also concluded that there is little support — only 41 per cent — for extending those limits to teachers, which the CAQ is proposing to do.
Moreover, the Vox Pop findings found higher levels of support for removing the crucifix from the National Assembly than CROP.
They recorded 50 per cent of respondents saying they opposed its presence in the legislature, compared to 45 per cent who were OK with it there.
A Mainstreet poll published two weeks ago, meanwhile, found 42 per cent support for removing the crucifix, compared to the 50 per cent who preferred that it remain.
The National Assembly will begin a two-week session on Tuesday that will be the first opportunity for the CAQ to advance its legislative agenda since it was elected in October with a decisive majority.
Legault said recently his government will likely wait until next year to table legislation on religious symbols.

Over two-thirds of the largest academy trusts have schools that use some form of isolation for their pupils – including for children aged just five and six.
44 free school projects were cancelled before they even opened between 2013-14 and 2016-17, at a cost to the taxpayer of £8.7 million. They include two London primaries that were proposed by a trust founded by the health minister Lord James O'Shaughnessy.

An advice note setting out significant developments relating to the Government's academies agenda has been published on the NEU (NUT Section) website .
Along with a mounting body of evidence undermining the case for academy status, these developments provide further arguments for resisting forced academisation. Please read and share with local reps.
Some crucial developments are reported in the latest edition of Privatisation Update including news on three key anti-academy campaigns. Government has made a major U-turn on 'coasting' schools and academisation and three schools have already reversed their decision to form a MAT citing this development. Also covered are two important recent reports: one finding that academies in MATs have fewer freedoms and a second showing that the free schools programme has failed to deliver on its promises.
The seven "anti-democratic essentials" of the academies model are set out in Warwick Mansell's latest blog. Read and share this clear and comprehensive analysis of the ways in which academies keep parents, pupils, and school staff "on the outside".
The Governing Body of Avenue Primary School has confirmed that, at its meeting last Thursday, it took a decision NOT to move forward with plans to convert the school to academy status.
"Staff and parents will be delighted to hear that, after a campaign that included nineteen days of strike action to oppose academy transfer, members of the National Education Union can now end their strikes, knowing that Avenue Primary is going to remain a community school.
The NEU would like to thank Avenue Governors for reaching this decision and all in the school community who took part in the vibrant campaign to oppose Avenue becoming an academy.
The lively rallies on the school gates on strike days, always supported by dozens of local parents, left Governors in no doubt that the campaign showed no signs of weakening. The determination and unity across the school community shown at Avenue School over the last six months of action will be an inspiration to other campaigns organising to stop academisation in their schools.
Unity was forged around the demand for a binding ballot of staff and parents to decide on academy transfer. The NEU offered to halt its strikes if such a ballot was agreed and proposed that meetings were held, and information circulated in community languages, so that parents could fully participate in deciding on the future of their school. Those demands should now be taken up by parents & staff of other schools to ensure genuine consultation over academisation.
Governors at Avenue must have known that the mounting evidence exposing academisation would mean a genuine debate could only reach one conclusion – to oppose transfer – and simply decided to withdraw their plans altogether. The energy and unity shown by both staff and parents in the campaign can now help Avenue School to further support children's education. If there is any future attempt to revisit academisation, then the opposition will be even stronger!
The National Education Union made clear that we opposed academisation at Avenue because it would damage education and transfer the School to an unaccountable Multi Academy Trust. As a community school, parents will continue to be able to call on an elected Council for support.
The Avenue campaign helped convince Newham councillors when they voted in February to oppose academisation and to support the call for staff and parental ballots. The NEU looks forward to working with Newham's newly elected Mayor, Rokhsana Fiaz, in developing plans to support Newham schools, including through developing partnership arrangements that avoid the unnecessary educational risk and fragmentation that academisation inflicts on local schooling.
Warwick Mansell's latest blog offers a brilliant summary of the main reasons to resist the expansion of the academy programme. In it he sets out the seven fundamental problems inherent in trying to force a public education system to function like a market. Please read and share widely.
On Thursday 19/04/2018, polling by the Sutton Trust revealed that academy heads are sceptical about academy freedoms. I described this as yet another devastating blow to the Government's academy programme. The polling confirms that schools in England are being starved of cash and that academy status does not bring the benefits that Government claims. You can read our full statement here.

Q: Android: Run my app with very long SVG files? I have an SVG file with 27162 lines, some with a huge number of columns. So when I run it, this exception is shown:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.iamrichifeelamerican/global.controllers.ActivityHandlingFragments}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #370: Binary XML file line #370: Error inflating class ImageView

[...]
       Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid pathData. Failure occurred at position 2 of path: STRING_TOO_LARGE

Is there any way to exceed this limit?
Imagine a project in which you have to use a huge SVG (and an SVG'd be actually required): how the firm would deal with this problem?

A: "Invalid pathData" means that your SVG contains a <path> element that has a path description (d attribute) that the VectorDrawable conversion code didn't understand.
To  work around this, you will have to find the problematic path element and tweak it so that it converts properly.
Unfortunately AndroidStudio is not very informative when it fails like this. So you will have to find the problematic <path> by trial and error.  Ie. narrow down the search by removing some of the <path> elements until you find it.

A: I know this is an old topic.
But in cases for further readers that had the same problem, I just applied the following solution : Simplying vector drawable for android

Romney not intending to make another presidential run
CNN Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger
Washington (CNN) – A prime seat at the Super Bowl. A flattering documentary. A funny turn on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." No doubt about it: Mitt Romney has been back in the spotlight recently. But does it all add up to him making a third run for the Republican presidential nomination?
No, according to multiple sources close to the 2012 Republican presidential nominee.
While the ex-candidate is clearly enjoying all the good karma - which comes amid a bad month for Chris Christie —sources close to Romney say the nascent draft-Mitt idea, such as it is, is organic and not coming from him or his wife, Ann, or anyone close to them.

Wells Fargo helps back Brookfield's City tower buy
REC staff
Canada's Brookfield Office Properties has financed the acquisition of 99 Bishopsgate in the City, with senior debt from US bank Wells Fargo, Aareal Bank and Santander.
Brookfield acquired the 26- floor tower from Hammerson last month as part of a London office portfolio bought for £518m. The club is lending £130m, which is thought to equate to around a 55% loan-to-value ratio.
About 100,000 sq ft of the 340,000 sq ft, multi-let tower is vacant after Deutsche Bank left late last year, so letting it will be Brookfield's immediate priority.
Martin Jepson, UK head of Brookfield Office Properties, said: "The minute you bring risk into a deal it is not an easy climate to finance."
Wells Fargo returned to London lending at the start of this year, focusing on deals with North American sponsors it already knows.
It jointly refinanced 123 Buckingham Palace Road in Victoria and 10 Dolphin Square, SW1 for US private equity fund manager Westbrook Partners, the first with MetLife, and was part of a club that financed Black-stone's purchase of a London & Stamford UK logistics portfolio.
At the end of September Brookfield completed the purchase and financing for 99 Bishopsgate, the 830,000 sq ft Principal Place development site and two smaller assets. Next year it will pay £189m for Hammerson's 50% share of 125 Old Broad Street EC2 and Leadenhall Court EC3.
Visiting London last month, Dennis Friedrich, new chief executive at Brookfield Office Properties, called the City leasing market "flat" but not "horrible". Brookfield has yet to prelet its 948,600 sq ft proposed 100 Bishopsgate development.


Now, T/Mon users will enjoy a whole new kind of network visibility with the new T/Mon Graphical User Interface (GUI). This powerful new interface in included as a part of the advanced T/Mon monitoring platform.
Support for multiple map layers- allowing operators to drill down to the device level to view specific alarm information.
Two seats standard, with the ability to add many more- ensuring you always have enough visibility, T/Mon GFX includes two operator seats standard, and more seats are available.
Starting July 2007, all new T/Mon packages quoted will include T/Mon GFX. As part of its continuing commitment to total client support, DPS Telecom will include these copies of T/Mon GFX to clients who invest in the T/Mon NOC monitoring platform.
With a Gold Plan, T/Mon users receive all major software updates, keeping their system running with the most advanced monitoring software programs. Gold Plan clients also receive free seats at DPS Factory Training, priority tech support, and more.
Existing T/Mon clients with a Gold Plan maintenance agreement will receive two user seats of T/Mon GFX. For clients who have already purchased more than 2 seats of T/GrafX, an earlier version of T/Mon GUI, all of their seats will be upgraded to T/Mon GFX.
T/Mon GFX is the next evolution of the T/Mon interface. It allows operators to view alarms visually on layered geographic maps. This multiple layer support enables operators to drill down from regions, to cities, to sites, to photographs of their equipment racks. This provides visualization of alarms right down to the network devices themselves, rapidly accelerating repair operations. In addition to .BMP format images, T/Mon GFX now supports .JPEG and .GIF files, enabling you to import a wide variety of maps for your site.
The GFX's capabilities extend far beyond providing graphical alarm status updates. More T/Mon screen functionality has been pushed into T/Mon GFX. The GUI can even be used to view T/Mon statistics on individual devices, tracking the frequency of polls or device alarms occuring in a given period, and more. Users can even view the protocol communication taking place between the T/Mon and NetGuardians or other connected remotes. This can be particularly useful for troubleshooting your network monitoring equipment.
The T/Mon GUI is more intuitive than ever, supporting more common windows controls. DPS engineers were also to greatly magnify the processing time, enabling GFX to keep speed with the rapid processor found in the T/Mon unit. T/Mon GFX includes built-in support for two simultaneous users with the option to add many more, allowing multiple operators to update alarm points within the system. This new version processes alarms nearly 20 times faster that it's predecessor, ensuring that you always have the most current alarms and maps in at your T/Mon GFX workstation.
GFX automatically updates its alarm database from T/Mon, ensuring total synchronization between T/Mon and a number of GFX workstations.
The login database for GFX is also stored directly within T/Mon, greatly reducing the chance of unauthorized access. It is now very easy to remove user profiles from the T/GFX program, allowing you to remove former employees from GFX simply by removing them from the main T/Mon user database.
T/Mon GFX runs on any standard Windows workstation, but all core monitoring operations are handled by the ultra-reliable T/Mon platform. When this reliability is combined with enhanced security, T/Mon users can be sure that their mission-critical alarm monitoring will perform when it's needed most.
The T/Mon monitoring platform provides you with the monitoring capabilities you absolutely must have to maximize your network uptime, and protect your revenue-generating equipment. Learn how to protect your network with the T/Mon monitoring platform, now packed with T/Mon GFX to provide you the best possible network visibility.

Effect of labour induction on rates of stillbirth and cesarean section in post-term pregnancies. Academic Article
BACKGROUND: Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials suggest that elective induction of labour at 41 weeks' gestation, compared with expectant management with selective labour induction, is associated with fewer perinatal deaths and no increase in the cesarean section rate. The authors studied the changes over time in the rates of labour induction in post-term pregnancies in Canada and examined the effects on the rates of stillbirth and cesarean section. METHODS: Changes in the proportion of total births at 41 weeks' and at 42 or more weeks' gestation, and in the rate of stillbirths at 41 or more weeks' (versus 40 weeks') gestation in Canada between 1980 and 1995 were determined using data from Statistics Canada. Changes in the rates of labour induction and cesarean section were determined using data from hospital and provincial sources. RESULTS: There was a marked increase in the proportion of births at 41 weeks' gestation (from 11.9% in 1980 to 16.3% in 1995) and a marked decrease in the proportion at 42 or more weeks (from 7.1% in 1980 to 2.9% in 1995). The rate of stillbirths among deliveries at 41 or more weeks' gestation decreased significantly, from 2.8 per 1000 total births in 1980 to 0.9 per 1000 total births in 1995 (p < 0.001). The stillbirth rate also decreased significantly among births at 40 weeks' gestation, from 1.8 per 1000 total births in 1980 to 1.1 per 1000 total births in 1995 (p < 0.001). The magnitude of the decrease in the stillbirth rate at 41 or more weeks' gestation was greater than that at 40 weeks' gestation (p < 0.001). All hospital and provincial sources of data indicated that the rate of labour induction increased significantly between 1980 and 1995 among women delivering at 41 or more weeks' gestation. The associated changes in rates of cesarean section were variable. INTERPRETATION: Between 1980 and 1995 clinical practice for the management of post-term pregnancy changed in Canada. The increased rate of labour induction at 41 or more weeks' gestation may have contributed to the decreased stillbirth rate but it had no convincing influence either way on the cesarean section rate.

Home / Blog / CRA revocation letter to the Corban Foundation on forgivable loan program
CRA revocation letter to the Corban Foundation on forgivable loan program
Published October 31, 2013 by Mark Blumberg
Here is an interesting series of letters from CRA to the Corban Foundation in the 1990s relating its revocation as a registered charity. It deals with the meaning of a gift, and various programs to provide tuition assistance to those attending Christian schools. It provides CRA's views on the legal arguments and cases.
Here are some excerpts from the CRA letter although the whole letter is worth reading:
"Based on the audit findings, it appears that the primary purpose of Corban's charitable
gifts coupons program is, in fact, to circumvent the restrictions placed under the
Department's Information Circular 75-23 on the portion of a parent's payment for
tuition that may be receipted as a charitable donation to a private religious school.
This intention also appears to be evident from the promotional brochures and
newsletters for this program outlined in Appendix B. We also found a letter from
Dick L. Kranendonk on Corban Foundation letterhead which contains the following
explanation of the charitable gift coupons program:
"These coupons can be used to pay for the religious education costs of
children attending religious schools. Typically, OACS member religious
schools have a religious cost-per-pupil of between 40% and 50% of total
fees paid to the school. For parents with more than one child in a
religious school, this program can result in making full payments to the
school by means of these coupons. The result is that 100% of donations
made to Corban are acknowledged with official charitable donation
receipts which can be used to claim your charitable donation tax credit
when filing your income tax return."
Grant Programs ·- ~ ·
Based on the audit evidence, it appears that, typically, someone seeking financial
assistance through any of the grant programs offered by the Corban Foundation is
aware that he or she must make, or arrange for someone else to make, a contribution
to Corban to cover the amount of the grant to be received from the Foundation. The
Foundation retains 10% of the amount contributed and returns the rest back as a grant
to the contributor or to the grant recipient being sponsored by that contributor. The
prospective grant recipient is aware that 90% of the funds directed to Corban as a ·
result of his or her fund-raising efforts will be allocated by Corban to the approved
grant payout. This sequence of transactions clearly indicates that the contributor
makes a contribution with the expectation that a particular individual, usually the
contributor himself or a dependent family member, will receive a pre-determined
grant amount.
In its first five months of operation, Corban awarded $329,269 in Debt Reduction
grants. Of this total, $322,344 were grants linked to corresponding "donations".
During this same period, Corban awarded a total of $78,913 in Education grants. All
of these grants were tied to corresponding "donations". Our audit analysis of
receipted donations for Corban's 1993 and 1994 years shows that a direct link can be
made between "donations" received and grants paid out the same day, or within one
or two days, in 279 cases totalling $2,001,931 in receipted donations. In most of
these cases, the grant amount is exactly 90% of the "donation" made to the
The attempt made in Corban Foundation publications to break the link between gifts
made to the Foundation and grants to designated individuals by stating that gifts made
to the foundation are unrestricted in nature is, in our view, contradicted by the
overwhelming number of cases where a direct connection can be made.
For example, we discovered that most of those who have received education grants
from the Foundation are minor children of donors to the Foundation. A scenario has
a payment being made by a parent at the same time that a grant cheque for exactly
90% of this payment is paid out to the child. The grant cheque is endorsed by both
the child and the parent. Essentially, in return for a 10% commission, the
Foundation's education grant and student assistance programs appear to be a vehicle
for parents to convert non-deductible education expenses into deductible charitable
donations. The criteria used to determine eligibility for these forms of financial
assistance do not take into account the income or assets of an applicant's parents,
even when the applicant is a dependent child.
Following is one example of an education grant transaction examined during our
audit.
A taxpayer's child made an application for an education grant to attend an
educational institution. Five months later, the child signed a grant agreement.
The same day, the taxpayer (parent) transferred $9,000 from his line of credit
to his personal chequing account and wrote a certified cheque to Corban
Foundation for $10,000. The Foundation deposited the cheque on the same day
and later issued an official receipt for income tax purposes to the taxpayer for a
$10,000 donation. Again the same day, the Foundation wrote a cheque to the
taxpayer's child for $9,000. The cheque, which was endorsed by the child and
the taxpayer, was then deposited to the taxpayer's account on the same
day. This amount was then used to pay down the taxpayer's line of credit.
These transactions indicate that no gift was made to Corban. It appears that the
taxpayer financed a payment to Corban from his line of credit solely to obtain a tax
receipt, with the full knowledge that he would be able to repay 90% to his line of
credit immediately and that the 10% shortfall would be more than offset by the
charitable tax credit.
They also indicate that Corban used its authority as a registered charity to issue
official donation receipts to provide the taxpayer with a better tax advantage than
permitted under the Income Tax Act provisions governing the deductibility and
transfer to a supporting person of tuition payments and related education expenses
(see s.118.5(1), s.118.6(1)&(2), and s.118.9(1)&(2)).
Similarly, in most instances when a debt assistance grant has been given, the person
receiving the grant has made a concurrent contribution to Corban or is related to
someone who has made a contribution to Corban which coincides in timing and
amount with the grant paid out. As with the education grants, it appears that these
are arrangements where the donor anticipates consideration in the form of a debt
assistance grant being provided, either to themselves or to a relative, in return for a
payment to the charity acknowledged with an official donation receipt for tax
purposes. Since the contributor in these situations is almost always the same person
receiving the grant, or is an immediate family member, it appears that there is, in
effect, a circular flow of funds with the Foundation interposed simply to provide a tax
benefit. Except for the 10% surcharge, no property is actually transferred for the
benefit of the charity. …"

Why Rove are busting the myths about apprenticeships!
Rove have been delivering apprenticeships for nearly a decade and we have learned a thing or two about the people who do them and the organisations who recruit them. There is cause to celebrate the many benefits that apprenticeships can bring to an organisation and we use the slogan 'Get in and Go Far' as we believe that an apprenticeship is a brilliant way to gain the skills and knowledge needed for a rewarding career.
Businesses don't like taking apprentices on.
Apprenticeship participation now stands at a record level – 899,400 funded apprentices participated on an apprenticeship in the 2015 to 2016 academic year.
Almost 9 out of every 10 apprenticeship employer hoping to achieve business benefits tell us that apprenticeships deliver – including 75% reporting that it has helped their business improve the quality of their product or service.
Apprenticeships are for people who want to work manual industries.
Not now. The diversity of apprenticeships has grown tremendously. The NHS Trusts we work with are a great example. In that single employer alone the job choices are as diverse as jobs can be from nursing assistants, cleaners, porters to business administrators and managers. Listen to these stats….
Apprenticeships are available in 1500 job roles, covering more than 170 industries, from advertising to youth work and from environmental engineering to legal.
More than 2,600 employers are involved in designing the new apprenticeships standards.
Apprenticeships are for those who didn't do well at school and can't do anything else. And they are only available to school leavers.
There have been 4,300 starts on new standards in occupations such as Software Developer and Aerospace Engineer.
After finishing, 7 in 10 apprentices (77%) stay with the same employer.
46% of apprentices had received a pay rise since completing their apprenticeship.
36% of higher apprentice's report getting a promotion after completing their apprenticeship.
Maybe in days gone by. Quality is at the heart of many organisations and since employers are more than ever involved in the design of the apprenticeship programmes and they are bespoke to their organisation quality is high and continues to be a real focus for us at Rove. Apprentices have spoken….
There are currently 100 higher and degree apprenticeships available, with more in development, including foundation degrees, HNDs and full honours degrees. These include job roles ranging from legal services to banking and engineering.
Individuals with an advanced apprenticeship earn between £77,000 and £117,000 more over their lifetime than similar individuals with Level 2 qualifications.
Those completing a higher (degree level) apprenticeship could see increased earnings of an estimated £150,000 over their lifetime.
Not bad statistics at all. We regularly get feedback from all our apprentices on programme and the numbers do add up.

LGUs join league promoting organic agriculture in PH
The League of Organic Agriculture Municipalities, Cities, and Provinces of the Philippines (LOAMCP Philippines) through its National President, Mayor Rommel Arnado of Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte, administered an oath-taking ceremony for its 27 new local government unit (LGU) members during the 12th General Assembly and Membership Orientation Program last December 6 at the Iloilo Grand Hotel, Iloilo City.
The new members from Luzon are the municipalities of Malasiqui, Pangasinan; Santo Domingo, Ilocos Sur; San Jacinto, Pangasinan; Mapandan, Pangasinan; Victoria, Tarlac; Cabugao, Ilocos Sur; San Ildefonso, Bulacan; and the city of Mabalacat, Pampanga.
From the Visayas islands, the new members are the municipalities of Janiuay, Iloilo; Oton, Iloilo; Siquijor, Siquijor; Tuburan, Cebu; Tubungan, Iloilo; Marbaza, Antique; and the cities of Kabankalan and Iloilo.
From Mindanao, the new members include Banaybanay, Davao Oriental; Salvador, Lanao del Norte; Isulan, Sultan Kudarat; Sibuco, Zamboanga del Norte; Tantangan, South Cotabato; Bonifacio, Misamis Occidental; Villanueva, Misamis Oriental; Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental; Molave, Zamboanga del Sur; Katipunan, Zamboanga del Norte; Gigaquit, Surigao del Norte; Placer, Surigao del Norte; and the cities of Cotabato, Bislig, and Oroquieta.
"For the new LGU members, LOAMCP Philippines is committed to provide information and training support as they venture into organic agriculture. We are doing our part to contribute to the global goals on food security and ending poverty," said Arnado.
LOAMCP Philippines is a non-profit, non-government organization composed of local chief executives of municipalities, cities and provinces aiming to promote sustainable organic agriculture development in the country. It organizes a regular general assembly to provide a forum for sharing of best practices and new learnings as well as latest trends and important developments and solutions on organic agriculture. To date, the League has 168 members and continues to invite more LCEs and LGUs.
It is being supported by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG). Earlier this year, DILG Secretary Eduardo Año issued a Memorandum Circular (MC 2019-70) directing city and municipal mayors to become a member of the League.
As stated in the DILG Memorandum, "All local chief executives are directed to become members of the LOAMCP. The participation and support of all LGUs to this endeavor are integral in pursuing sustainable organic agriculture in the country."
In yesterday's General Assembly, the League passed a resolution providing ex-officio membership in its Executive Board to the respective presidents of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines, the League of Cities of the Philippines, and the League of Provinces of the Philippines to ensure full support and coordination of its priority agenda.
The advocacy of LOAMCP Philippines focuses on promoting local development and implementation of an organic agriculture agenda and master plan from among its members. Additionally, it promotes the idea that organic farming is synonymous with good governance which primarily addresses food insecurity and hunger, poverty, insurgency, among other societal issues confronting local government leaders and policy makers.
In the forum, several local chief executives aired their concerns on the lack of measures and strategy from the national government to ensure LGUs are properly guided in the development and execution of its plans. The officers of LOAMCP stressed that the primary goal of the League is to bring a united front among local chief executives and LGUs in pushing the organic agriculture agenda and that information and training support may be made available. On the part of the national government, the Department of Agriculture and the National Organic Agriculture Board take the lead in ensuring support is provided to local government units.
More than a hundred local chief executives, city/municipal agriculturists, planning officers, and organic agriculture focal points from several LGUs in the Philippines attended the event and participated in the discussions. Guest speakers which included Undersecretary Epimaco Densing III (DILG), Assistant Secretary Roosque Calacat (DILG), Mr. Rene Famoso (Department of Agriculture Region 6), Undersecretary Orlando Ravanera (Cooperative Development Authority), Ms. Jennifer Chang (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements or IFOAM Organics), and Sundeep Kamath (Biodynamic Association of India) delivered discussions on multiple areas of organic agriculture, including the impact of rice tarrification on farmers and local on-the-ground government initiatives.
"We are very serious in promoting, advocating and executing our respective organic agriculture master plans in the local level. This is the only way to ensure food security and we believe this is our responsibility to make our constituents realize the need for conversion into organic farming," Arnado added.
"This is the path to sustainable development. We need to take action to sustain human life," he added./PR
