The Board of Education is vitally interested in maintaining effective communications with parents, members of the community, vendors, and others who have dealings with the District. The Board realizes that although advances in technology provide the possibility of enhancing communications some innovations can also inhibit effective contact between the public and District personnel.
The board directs that incoming calls during regular school hours to each school main office number be answered by a District staff member or volunteer and not by a computer-generated voice.
If, under certain rare circumstances it is not possible for a staff member or volunteer to be available to answer a telephone call to a school main office number, a computer message may be substituted provided the message instructs the caller on how to access a District employee who can take some type of action in response to the caller's need.
Telephone calls to extension numbers within the District may be answered by voice mail provided the caller is provided the alternative of dialing 0 and talking to a staff member or volunteer.
Under no circumstances, during normal school office hours, is the telephone system to operate in such a way that a caller is unable to talk directly to someone who can be of assistance to the caller.


On Tuesday, 18 October, you might have noticed that you received an email from the AAS asking you to participate in a short survey on behalf of the AAS Education Task Force. If you did, thank you! If you didn't, I'm reaching out to you today with an additional plea to ask that you please participate in the survey.
This survey represents an earnest effort by the AAS to get meaningful data on the kinds of education/outreach/mentoring activities, training, and support that members of the astronomical community (not only members of the AAS) are receiving at all levels. The data will be used, totally anonymously, by the AAS Education Task Force — and may lead to invigorated AAS support and funding of education-related activities.
So, please take the time (about 10 minutes) to fill out the survey. Also, take a few minutes to spread the word to your astro-friends and colleagues in your departments and through any other methods you see fit.
AAS members and nonmembers alike are welcome to participate. The survey is only open for about a week, so why not participate now?


The disaster at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in 2011 has prompted world leaders to slow or even suspend reliance on that source of energy. That's left an open field for China to become one of the world's top producers of nuclear power.
As the traditional leaders in nuclear power have stagnated since the accident, in the same period China has added 10 new reactors capable of more than 10 gigawatts of generating capacity, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
China now relies on nuclear power for a little more than 2 percent of its power generation. But its goal is to generate 15 percent of its power from cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels by 2020, and 20 percent by 2030. The alternatives include not only wind, solar and hydropower, but also nuclear generation.
To help achieve this, "China plans to increase nuclear capacity to 58 gigawatts (GW) and to have 30 GW of capacity under construction by 2020," the EIA says. Today its capacity is 23 gigawatts, and by the end of this year, China should surpass both Russia and South Korea in nuclear generating capacity.
That would make China number four among the world's leading generators of nuclear power, behind the United States, Japan and France (although Japan's reactors are turned off for now). And if Beijing completes construction of plants capable of an added 35 gigawatts of nuclear generating capacity, it will become the leading generator of nuclear power in 2020, when the plants are expected to go on-line. That would bump Japan back to third place.
Also by 2020, China plans to have finished building nuclear power plants providing a further 30 gigawatts of power, according to a report updated July 28 by the World Nuclear Association. In fact, China's on a spree of sorts in building nuclear reactors. Of the 64 such facilities now under construction worldwide, the group says, 25 of them are in China.
Today, every nuclear power plant in China is situated along its east coast and in the country's southern regions, where demand for electricity is highest. But since the disaster at the coastal Fukushima plant, which was caused by a tsunami, Beijing is showing increased interest in building inland reactors.
In November 2014, China's State Council published its "Energy Development Strategy Action Plan, 2014-2020," under which it hopes to reduce the country's reliance on coal, in part by taxing its use, and to increase the use of cleaner energy sources.
This plan calls for a "timely launch" of new nuclear plants on the country's east coast, but also calls for research into the feasibility of building them inland as well to prevent an accident similar to what befell Fukushima.
China and the United States, which together produce about 45 percent of the world's total emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels, have issued a joint promise to reduce greenhouse gas production over the next 15 years. And it appears that China may beat that deadline, not only because of changes in government policy, but also due to economic factors beyond its direct control.
Besides taxing and limiting coal use last year, the Chinese government is testing carbon-trading systems in five cities and two provinces. It's expected to impose a nationwide carbon-trading system next year.
What wasn't planned, but could help China meet its clean-energy goals, is that the country's economic growth has been slowing lately, leading directly to lower demand for energy, whether generated by fossil fuels or cleaner alternatives.

Small Parties In UP Flaunt "Decisive" Vote Banks For Lok Sabha Polls
Om Prakash Rajbhar is weighing its options and has its doors open for a tie-up with the BJP, Congress
Lucknow:
With a triangular contest on the cards in Uttar Pradesh between the BJP, the Congress and the SP-BSP-RLD, small parties are striving to stay relevant in the battle of political giants by claiming that in tight contests their dedicated vote bank would be "decisive".
The NISHAD Party, Apna Dal(S), Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP), and the Peace Party are busy preparing their strategies for the Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh where a possibility of a triangular contest involving the BJP has opened up after the Congress was kept out of the Samajwadi Party-Bahujan Samaj Party- Rashtriya Lok Dal alliance.
With political giants ready to battle it out in the Lok Sabha polls against each other in the electorally crucial state of Uttar Pradesh, the small parties are hankering for political space and claiming that their dedicated vote bank could be the decisive difference between winning and losing.
Sanjay Nishad, the president of the NISHAD (Nirbal Indian Shoshit Hamara Aam Dal) party, said his outfit is part of the SP-BSP-RLD grand alliance and has been promised two seats from the Samajwadi Party's quota.
"On one seat the candidate will be ours and the symbol will be of the SP and on the other the symbol will be ours and the candidate theirs. Praveen Nishad will contest from Gorakhpur and defeat the BJP like he did in the bye election," Mr Nishad told PTI.
"Our base vote is the vote of fishermen. Our party's vote will be the decisive winning vote for the alliance," he asserted.
Another small party, Apna Dal (Sonelal), whose leader Anupriya Patel is a union minister in the NDA government, on Friday finalised a seat-sharing agreement with the BJP and will contest on two Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh.
"On about 12-15 seats directly and overall on 30 seats, our traditional Kurmi vote is the deciding factor. So even though in the alliance we have got only two seats, we will transfer votes on many other seats," Apna Dal (S) spokesperson Arvind Sharma told PTI.
The BJP had benefited massively in eastern Uttar Pradesh in 2014 due to Apna Dal (S) transferring the Kurmi vote in the general elections, he claimed.
"In the election, wherever there is a tight contest, the chunk of vote we bring to the table will be decisive and crucial," Mr Sharma asserted, adding the Kurmi vote is there in all parts of the state and will help the BJP in a big way.
Another BJP ally, the SBSP, whose president Om Prakash Rajbhar is also a minister in the Yogi government, is still weighing its options and has its doors open for a tie-up with the BJP, the Congress and the grand alliance.
"Our party has an influence on almost 50 seats," SBSP general secretary Arvind Rajbhar claimed.
Asked if his party will go with the BJP, he said, "It depends on the BJP. Can't say until we get any assurance on the seat sharing. We have already conveyed that we want five seats."
The Congress, the SP-BSP-RLD alliance, and the BJP know that "our vote bank would be decisive" on a number of seats, Mr Rajbhar said.
With the poll dynamics changing, the Peace Party also finds itself mulling over its options. The party, who till a few months ago had said it was firmly part of the SP-BSP grand alliance, is now looking at various possibilities.
"Both the Congress and the SP-BSP-RLD combine have to decide whether they want to go with us or not. They seem to be wasting our time, but we are ready for the polls," Peace Party president Mohammed Ayub said.
"We contested on about 50 out of the 80 seats last time and would contest at least 50 seats this time as well if we fight on our own," he said.
Sanjay K Pandey, professor, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), and a political commentator, said the contest will be very keen with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra entering the political arena.
Her presence will enthuse the traditional Congress voters and therefore make the contest triangular and keener than before, he said. "In such a scenario, the dedicated vote bank of the small parties is going to be very important," he said.
The BSP had made it clear on Tuesday that it would not have any electoral tie-up with the Congress in any state for the polls, ending all speculation over the possibility of an alliance with the grand old party in Uttar Pradesh.
The Congress has already declared 35 candidates in the state till now and aligned with smaller parties — Mahan Dal and Apna Dal (Krishna Patel faction).
The SP and the BSP had forged an alliance on 80 Lok Sabha seats in the state. As per the deal, the SP will contest 37 Lok Sabha seats in UP and the BSP 38, leaving three for the Ajit Singh-led Rashtriya Lok Dal and two for Sonia Gandhi (Rae Bareli) and Rahul Gandhi (Amethi).
The seven-phase Lok Sabha elections begin on April 11.

Kings use power play to get past Oilers 6-3
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kevin Fiala had two power-play goals and two assists, Adrian Kempe also scored two power-play goals and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Edmonton Oilers 6-3 on Monday night.
Alex Iafallo and Viktor Arvidsson also scored as Los Angeles improved to 9-2-1 since Dec. 15. Pheonix Copley had 28 saves as he improved to 11-2-0 in 13 starts — all since Dec. 6.
The Kings converted on four of their first six power-play chances and improved to 2-0-0 against the Oilers this season. It was the first time Los Angeles scored four power-play goals in a game since April 5, 2012.
Fiala had his sixth game with at least three points this season and second consecutive. It was the first time in Kings history two players scored multiple power-play goals in a game.
"His engine is really good, he can play lots of minutes, he's dangerous and he can play up and down the lineup," Kings head coach Todd McLellan said of Fiala. "His game transfers with him wherever he goes. He can play with big players, small players, quick, crafty players, straight-line players. It's rare to find a player like that."
Kailer Yamamoto, Ryan McLeod and Connor McDavid scored for the Oilers in the opener of a four-game road trip after Edmonton dropped three of four at home. The Oilers were 0 for 6 on their power-play chances.
"It's not a recipe for success against that team," McLellan said of giving Edmonton six power-play chances. "Rarely are they going to be shut out in that type of situation. So we were fortunate to come through in that situation. I thought our penalty killers did a really good job."
Stuart Skinner gave up three goals on 24 shots before he was replaced early in the second period by former Kings goalie Jack Campbell.
The matchup was the first between the teams at Los Angeles since Game 6 of a first-round playoff series last season. Edmonton advanced in seven games.
One game after recording a hat trick Saturday at Vegas, Fiala made it five goals in four periods when he scored twice in a span of 1:51 on separate first-period power plays. The goals gave him 15 on the season.
Yamamoto got one for Edmonton when he scored with 2:58 remaining in the first period when he deflected a shot by Darnell Nurse off the shaft of his stick for his fourth.
Kempe scored his second goal of the second period for a 4-1 lead at 11:38 on a blistering shot from the right circle that Campbell actually snagged with his glove. On replay review, the puck was ruled to have crossed the goal line while in the webbing of the glove.
The man-advantage success gave the Kings 24 power-play goals at home this season. The teams combined for 13 penalties.
"They were calling the game tight and I think our (penalty kill) needs to definitely be better," Yamamoto said. "I thought 5-on-5 we generated some offense but that's the way she goes."
McLeod scored for Edmonton at 16:36 of the second period, his fourth.
Iafallo scored his seventh of the season for the Kings at 7:44 of the third, while McDavid scored less than two minutes later for his NHL-leading 34th. Arvidsson scored into an empty net with 1:42 left.
MILESTONE MAKER
Anze Kopitar's first-period assist for the Kings on Fiala's first goal of the night helped him to reach a pair of milestones. Not only did Kopitar record his 1,100th career point (376 goals, 724 assists), he also reached 600 career points at home (199 goals, 401 assists).
Kopitar has the sixth most home points among active players, behind Patrick Kane (637), Evgeni Malkin (659), Alex Ovechkin (656) and Sidney Crosby (570).
Kopitar has played 1,254 games over 17 seasons, all with the Kings and is third in Los Angeles history in home points behind Luc Robitaille (669) and Marcel Dionne (700).
Oilers: At Anaheim on Wednesday night.
Kings: Host San Jose on Wednesday night.

The Home Care Package Program provides packages of care and services to meet higher level needs and helps you live independently in your home. The Home Care Packages Program allows you to tailor a coordinated range of care and services to help you meet your care needs and achieve your goals.
For example, you might need help with home maintenance, such as changing light bulbs. You might also need minor aids and equipment, like a walking frame, to help you get around your home safely and easily. Or you might need help with tasks like dressing or preparing meals. As you get older, you may also need some level of nursing care to stay in your own home.
GWC Community Services also provides a variety of different Social Support and Centre Based Respite Groups for the frail aged, Greek speaking and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) background, as well as people with dementia. The program is coordinated by highly trained staff and includes transport to and from the centres. All participants can expect to be treated with dignity and respect. They will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities, enjoy meeting new people, and also have a meal in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.

Easiest ways to find locally-grown produce
(Pixabay)
By | May 14, 2018 at 8:57 PM EDT - Updated August 10 at 2:22 PM
CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Finding fresh, local produce doesn't have to mean a trip to the grocery store. From CSA programs to produce delivery, we'll tell you how it works, and what it costs.
It isn't hard to find fresh produce these days - but fresh, local, organic produce? Something called a CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture program, makes that easy to do at a number of Tri-State farms.
Turner Farm in Indian Hill has been around since the 1800's and an organic farm since the early 1990's. Workers here still use some of the methods used by Ohio farmers more than a century ago, like horse-drawn plows and planters.
Cathy Mattingly is a CSA member at the farm and said having access to just-harvested, organic produce changed the way she eats and lives.
"I used to be this person who was like, 'I'm only going to the grocery once a month, and I'm going to get frozen', and I would get all this stuff because I hated going to the grocery, and sort of I've gotten back into the pattern of what am I going to have tonight and tomorrow night," she said.
Here's how Turner Farm's CSA program works: You pay for either a full share, or a half share of produce. The full share, enough veggies and fruit for the average family of four, costs $850, and the half, which feeds two, costs $425. That works out to about $38 a week for the full share, over the 22-week summer growing season from May to October. You choose and pack your fresh produce every week. In May, that box will likely contain salad greens, radishes, and herbs. By August, it's corn, watermelon, cucumbers, tomatoes and much more.
And all of the produce at Turner Farm is organic.
"We don't apply chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers," Crop Production Manager Abby Lundrigan said.
She said a CSA can save you money, and help expand your plate.
"We grow stuff like Kohlrabi, that a lot of our clients have never heard of, or things that aren't widely available in grocery stores," Lundrigan said.
Another option is a delivery service like Green Bean Delivery. Green Bean sources its produce from farms in the Midwest and elsewhere, and some, but not all of it, is certified organic. You build your box, with a minimum order of $20. You'll also pay a $4.99 delivery fee if that box is between $20-$34.99 worth of food, and $2.99 if it's between $35 and $64.99. Green Bean waives the fee on boxes over $65. Green Bean leaves the food packed in chilled, insulated bins right on your doorstep.
So how does this compare with grocery prices? Well, it depends what you buy, and how you eat it. Pull your receipts for the last month or so, and see your average weekly produce spending. Then, look at what a CSA or produce delivery service would cost. Some farms do allow you to work there for a certain number of hours to reduce the cost of your CSA share.
The trick is making sure you use up all of that fresh produce, so none of it goes to waste. A recent study found the average American wastes nearly a pound of food every day, with fruit and vegetables being the likeliest to end up in the trash.

To ensure a fair and coordinated approach by chapters to organisational matters, Wikimedia Australia supports the creation of a Chapters Council that will operate as a unifying body representing Wikimedia chapters. Wikimedia Australia believes that a unified voice for the chapters will mutually benefit all parties, and will address some of the many structural and administrative challenges that our movement faces.
When the Wikimedia chapters' deliberations on the Chapters Council's structure and function approaches a conclusion, Wikimedia Australia will be in a better position to discuss and announce our position regarding joining a newly created Chapters Council. In the interim, to assist in the creation and development of a federated body of chapters and thereby ensuring optimum success in this endeavour, Wikimedia Australia will consider making contributions in the form of financial and/or other resources, ultimately to be defined, towards the furtherance of this goal and if requested by any interim council or competent authority within the newly created Chapters Council.
Wikimedia Australia will continue to keep themselves informed of the drafting process, and to this end contribute and coordinate along with other chapters to effect a successful outcome. For the purpose of matters relating to the formation of the Chapters Council, including the drafting of a Chapters Council Charter, Wikimedia Australia's delegation to the Wikimedia Conference 2012 in Berlin, namely Craig Franklin and Anne Frazer, are authorised to speak on behalf of the chapter's management committee.

The NAB, small business and the wilful ignorance of judges
By Evan Jones | 16 June 2013, 11:59am | comments
The National Australia Bank claim to be the bank of small business — but they are anything but, explains Australia's leading exposer of bad banks, Associate Professor Evan Jones.
THE NATIONAL AUSTRALIA BANK is currently engaged in a blanket advertising campaign. Even for the NAB, at the front line of advertising/public relations expenditure, the current campaign is over the top.
Thus the Sydney Daily Telegraph, 2 April, front page:
'Every morning millions of small business owners rise to face a new day. Some follow family footsteps, some follow their dreams, some don't follow at all, they lead.'
And a full back page:
'The reasons you started your own business are very personal. At NAB, we work with thousands of small businesses every day. So we learn from all kinds of businesses and we'd like to share that knowledge with you.'
The punchline:
'Small business we see you'.
The NAB doesn't learn from 'all kinds of businesses' — except to extend its reach of predation and to refine its techniques of default and foreclosure. In-house expertise? The NAB perennially forces customers to hire external 'consultants' – at customer expense – who will perennially add to the customer's problems (at bank direction?) with the bank.
The Land, 4 April:
'We see that agribusinesses need long-term support to take advantage of new opportunities and that's why we continue to lend more to Australian agribusiness than any other bank. And we're more than just bankers, we're locals who are dedicated to supporting, understanding and growing your agribusiness here and overseas.'
The Sydney Morning Herald, 12 April, full page 7:
'At NAB, we work closely with businesses to help them grow and bring their ideas to life. That's why, over the last 3 years, we have consistently lent more to small businesses than any other bank.'
But any crude loan quantum does not represent the NAB's contribution to the SME community. How much is predatory lending? How much of this quantum will be the subject of predatory defaults? No-one is counting.
The Sydney Morning Herald, 23 April, pages 1, 3 and 5. On page 5:
'We see Australian business. You see commitment. Australian business needs long-term commitment to succeed. That's why NAB supports our customers through the ups and the downs. And we prove it every day, by lending more to businesses than any other bank.'
Australian business necessarily needs 'long-term commitment to succeed'. But the claim that 'NAB supports our customers through the ups and downs' is flatly contradicted by the myriad stories related to me over the years (and to my collaborator, since the late 1980s) by small business and family farmer victims of the NAB. At least twenty-five years of bank thuggery from the NAB.
S30.1 of the 2004 Code of Banking Practice reads:
'We will ensure that our advertising and promotional literature drawing attention to a banking service is not deceptive or misleading.'
Symptomatic of the bank's attitude to the Code in general — laughable.
The public doesn't know the extent of the NAB's (or other banks') nefarious activities because the print media is too busy raking in the revenue from bank advertising. The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) is too busy telling bank victim complainants to go away, so the media has an excuse for ignoring the issue.
Small business and farmer bank victims are forced into the courts, typically with minimal to zero resources. For a crude indication of the extent of bank litigation, go to the Australasian Legal Information Institute website, type 'bank' into the search box, and order the listings 'By Date'. In some litigation the borrower will ultimately be at fault, but the bulk of bank litigation is a result of bank staff incompetence and/or corruption.
Let us reconsider the foreclosed farming siblings Chris and Claire Priestley. Their story is summarised in my January 2013 'Business as usual at the NAB and grab'.
There, I highlighted that the Priestleys had lost several applications to file an Amended Defence against foreclosure of their farm aggregation of 8,800 hectares — the early defences being nugatory thanks to a curiously unhelpful solicitor and the Priestleys damned thereafter. Garling J, in the NSW Supreme Court, decided for the NAB on 10 December 2012, following a 5 December hearing. The bank had been given possession in a previous judgement on 28 September and possession was set down for the next day — the 11th. Christmas intervened.
The Code of Banking Practice
In their court appearances, the Priestleys had increasingly highlighted the NAB's failure to adhere to the banking sector's Code of Banking Practice, whose commitments are encased in the bank's contracts with the Priestleys (outlined in my first article).
The Priestleys had applied before Garling J to stay the impending eviction based on belatedly acquired information that the NAB and the other signatory banks had constructed a secret apparatus to hobble the workings of the Code of Banking Practice (of which more below). Their argument for a stay on the eviction and a new defence based on their allegations about the contracts entered into in October 2004, now seen as misleading and deceptive, was rejected.
Following the whitewash 1991 Martin Report into the banking sector, the Labor Government let the banks off the hook with the gift of self-regulation. Hence the Australian Banking Industry Ombudsman scheme (created in 1989, now the FOS), and the Code of Banking Practice.
The banks' self-interest soon came to the fore. It was reflected in the Australian Bankers' Association intention, under pressure from members, to hobble the Ombudsman scheme in its infancy. This was July 1992. The Ombudsman had shown independence in forcing compensation from NAB and ANZ over their involvement in a scam.
The then terms of reference for the Ombudsman were that judgement should be based on what is 'fair in all the circumstances'. The hawks' preference was for 'general principles of good banking practice'. Ah yes, business as usual. A follow-up banking inquiry (the Elliott Committee) recommended that the upper monetary limit for the sums involved in complaints be raised from $100,000 to $200,000, and that small business be included in the scheme. The Labor Government rejected the recommendations.
It was noted by Tim Blue in the Sydney Morning Herald (19 September 1992):
'Banks have been reluctant to agree to either move on the grounds bigger sums involve business capable of looking after themselves.'
To allow small business into any scheme that involved fair play and potential compensation was anathema. Why kill the goose with the golden egg? And so it has remained in the latter day Financial Ombudsman Service — expanded in scale but still steadfast in the service of stonewalling accountability for the banks' propensity for incompetence and predation.
Ditto the Code. In promoting the second Banking Report, the Committee Chairman Paul Elliott noted (5 November 1992):
'An extension of the code to cover small business and rural customers also will be essential in rectifying damaged relationships in these areas.'
It didn't happen. It was also intended that the Code would have an independent monitor. Ditto.
What did happen is that the Code, being developed by the federal Treasury and the Trade Practices Commission, was handed over to the banks themselves — in particular to the 'hard-heads', the NAB's Don Argus and the CBA's David Murray (Treasurer Keating's choice to run the privatised CBA). The handover was courtesy of then Treasurer John Dawkins. In return for taking control of the Code, the banks 'conceded' to allow coverage of bank loan guarantors – in practice perennially the borrowers themselves – and the contractual enforceability of the Code. The takeover explains why a Code, now sanitised, did not see the light of day until 1996.
This early history of the Ombudsman scheme and the Code of Banking Practice exposes the major banks' collective ethos. The Labor Government acquiesced to the banks' formal commitments to meaningful self-regulation. The banks committed themselves immediately to ensuring that neither the Ombudsman scheme nor the Code would function effectively. In particular, a bank's contractual obligation under the Code has never been enforced. The banking sector henceforth became essentially unregulated (save for the weak reed of 'prudential' regulation of banks' capital adequacy), and so it remains to this day.
Coincidentally the small business lobby had a rare (if ultimately symbolic) success. With the Howard Government elected in 1996 with help from small business, the Government established a Parliamentary Inquiry into corporate predation against small business. The excellent 1997 report, Finding a Balance, assertively outlined corporate predation across a range of sectors including banking — i.e. nothing had changed since the 1991 Martin Report. The 1997 report led to the introduction of a historically significant 'business against business' unconscionable conduct section, s51AC, into the Trade Practices Act in 1998. The section was replicated as s12CC in the ASIC Act in 2001. Yet not a single case has ever been brought against a bank under these sections.
Thus comes time for the refashioning of the Code of Banking Practice in late 2003. Small business (presumably including the family farmer – a Code brochure cover has a farmer in a cowboy hat) is belatedly included in the Code's coverage, and a Code Compliance Monitoring Committee to be established. Red alert for the banks, but no worries.
The banks first created the Code Compliance Monitoring Committee Association, for which a Constitution was written in February 2004. Then the CCMC was created, and the new Code promulgated in May 2004. The Constitution constrained both the CCMC and the operation of the Code. The CCMC's capacity for compliance monitoring was inhibited in utero. CCMC members themselves expressed dissatisfaction to the 2008 McClelland Review of the structure, claiming lack of independence, constraints on their actions, and being kept in the dark by the FOS through which it operated. The integrity of the revised Code itself was inhibited in utero. All utterly predictable.
In the context of Garling J listening to the Priestleys' complaints about the bank's non-compliance with the Code, before ignoring the implications, Garling notes:
'As well, the Priestleys argued that the terms of the Constitution by which the Code Compliance Monitoring Committee Association operated, meant that contrary to the Code, a copy of which the Priestleys were given by the NAB during 2010, the NAB did not have to investigate all complaints and hence had failed properly to investigate their complaints and submit their complaints to the monitoring regime of the Code Compliance Committee.'
What was supposed to be given to the Priestleys? The Code was readily available, the Priestleys had it, and the NAB would not be drawing attention to it at precisely the time when its non-compliance was in full bore. As for the Constitution, it is a secret document dictating the activities of a secret body, whose object was to scuttle the formal intent of the Code. The Priestleys obtained a copy that had fallen off the back of a truck.
The judiciary in general will not touch the elephant in the room which is the monumental duplicity that is the Code of Banking Practice. The legal profession and the judiciary prefer to have no idea of the Code, its significance or its politics, save for Mallesons (NAB's premier law firm) which wrote the CCMCA's Constitution in order to emasculate its impact.
It was Garling J's task to tick the boxes on the Priestley possession and get the hell out of there asap. Thus:
[The Priestleys] did not make it apparent how a failure of the NAB, assuming one was established, to comply with these contractual provisions, could amount to a defence of the NAB's claim for possession of the land.
… the matters which the Priestleys now seek to raise do not, in the form in which they are advanced, constitute an arguable defence against the NAB's legal claim for, and its entitlement to, orders for possession of the farming properties. At their highest, it is possible that they may a basis for a claim for damages, although the evidence presently before the Court does not suggest that any such claim is likely to be successful. …
It follows that I am not persuaded that the Priestleys have an arguable defence to the NAB's claim. In light of the fact that this is their seventh attempt to formulate a defence, even making all proper allowance for the fact that they are not legally represented, I am not satisfied that it is in the interests of justice to make the orders sought by them.
The brief exchange in the 5 December hearing goes to the heart of the matter:
His Honour [Garling J]: … There seems to be little doubt that you and Mr Priestley borrowed some money from the bank. Claire Priestley: Yes, we did.
His Honour: There seems to be little doubt that the payments are not up‑to‑date. CP: Yes.
His Honour: Ordinarily that would mean that the bank could take their security. CP: Yes.
His Honour: And that is the order they have got. CP: Yes, I appreciate that.
His Honour: So why is it that you say in this case the bank should be stopped from getting the benefit of their security?
That exchange captures the essence of bank litigation and the rest is white noise. Such is the beauty and simplicity of the Common Law. A contract is a contract is a contract.
The Priestleys did attempt a 'yes, but'. The Priestleys had contracted the initial loan with NAB in late 2004, with the (written) promise of long-term support. The Code of Banking Practice was part of the contract. The mortgaged properties were in drought and remained so (as elsewhere) for the next five years.
Priestley aggregation reservoir, February 2012; since January 2010 a not-infrequent inundation.
Davidson Cameron's advertisement for the aggregation went into The Land on 16 May. It is desultory, especially in terms of pictorial representation of water infrastructure and of the current good feed for livestock. More, the advertisement unusually plays down the property with the disclaimer
'Interested parties please note that the irrigation infrastructure and development may require maintenance.'
(The advertisement is now accessible on the web.)
Sale of the property is by tender (i.e. secretive) and tenders close 14 June, a ridiculously short period for potential purchasers to obtain contracts, formalise funding and make submissions.
The dimensions of the process of sale of the Priestley properties point naturally to the prospect that the aggregation will be sold under value, to a friendly party, and that this outcome is the NAB's clear intention. The properties are sandwiched between two agglomerations owned by the same family. This family has also recently made a successful offer for the property of the only mutual neighbours. The Priestley alluvial flood plain properties receive inundation from four water sources – the Macquarie and Barwon Rivers and the Marthaguy Creek and Castlereagh Rivers. Their water flow is not dissimilar to that of the famed Cubbie Station itself. The properties are thus a highly attractive asset to the neighbours, and a purchase under value would be manna from the god in heaven that is the National Australia Bank.
The NAB has been pulling this 'sale under value' stunt for so long that proceeding in this manner has become second nature. It's a racket – the practice is embedded in the corporate culture of the bank – and it is institutionalised theft against the borrower,
The resources devoted to this kind of customer takedown are significant. Ultimately, it may have been more profitable for the bank to treat such customers professionally for mutually beneficial outcomes. It appears that the entrenched deficiency in sectoral competence, administrative incompetence, sadism and corruption must be nurtured — regardless of the resulting effect on the bank's efficiency, balance sheet and reputation. Confront the irony when one next reads an advertisement from the National Australia Bank extolling its own virtues on small business / family farmer lending.
The revised 2013 Code of Banking Practice is 72 pages long. It is bureaucratic mumbo jumbo and it is meaningless. The operative Code of Banking Malpractice is zero pages, undocumented, and all those who matter (including the legal profession and the judiciary) subscribe to it. The Priestleys were valued customers under the former, lambs to the slaughter under the latter.

The Mysterious Connection Between Geophysics, Architecture and Biomedicine
How does location affect our health and how is it related with ancient monuments?
Lydia Giannoulopoulou, Lydia is the founder of Healing Architecture and currently a PhD candidate researching the effects of location and geology on health.
Temple of Aphaia, Aigina Island, Greece (photo by Author)
From the ancient past to the modern times, man has been experimenting with various architectural approaches, according to the era, the specific functions and his own level of consciousness.
Nowadays, in spite of all the technological evolution and tools in our hands, there are still so many unanswered questions regarding the use and purpose of ancient temples and megalithic monuments.
How where they built, why were they built at locations with specific properties and with the use of particular material? Why did the ancient people and later mystics and masons spend so much time, energy and resources to build these structures? Was it merely for divine worship or were there other functions more complex in nature?
In order to begin decoding the answers, let us analyze the layers of such a structure:
Earth location and ground properties
Geometry of building and material properties
Relationship to celestial bodies and astronomical events
The placement of these monuments has been proven by many studies not to be random, but extremely researched and located with precision. As far my research has shown, and also backed up by many others before me, monuments where always placed on what we call geophysical anomalies — places where the following take place: an intense change in the magnetic and/or gravity field, the change in radioactivity levels, a conductivity discontinuity of the ground material, the presence of fault and/or underground water. The aforementioned parameters morph these areas into stress zones.
Ultrasound measurements in Rollright Stones, UK (Robins, 1985)
Whenever there is a fluctuation in the above fields, it results in the generation of telluric DC electric currents, which are measurable. The concentration of natural geomagnetic and electric fluctuations is the most basic characteristic of ancient monuments and temples.
So indeed, temples were indeed located on power locations, a statement which is not just a theoretical belief, but now a scientific revelation.
Tesla writes "the earth is found to be alive with electrical vibrations". The Radcliffe tower he created, was an energy generator that would not function if it did not "grip the earth", as he wrote.
Were ancient temples transmitters of longitudinal standing electric waves?
Geomagnetic field intensity on the location of Balanced Rock (Burke,2005)
Sesh Heri, writes in the Handprint of Atlas: "The entire topography and geomorphology of land features are results of standing waves in the earth. The artificial monuments are built around significant naturally occurring geomorphologies"
Also, the induced currents can be conducted according to the grounds' material properties. Their strength will depend on the ground's conductivity; ground with higher mineral contact will usually have stronger currents.
Geomagnetic field intensity in Stonehenge (David, 1997)
Dr. Konstantin Meyl, with a background in electrical engineering and field physics explains, in his book Scalar waves, that earth radiation was the power supply for the temple. In order for the building to transmit this energy, it had to be built as a resonant cavity. In order to make it as efficient as possible, specific proportions and shapes- known as sacred geometry was incorporated.
Many historical monuments incorporate sacred geometry, like this mosque in Iran ( utaot.com)
Brian Desborough writes, in They Cast No Shadows : "sacred geometry was incorporated into the design of buildings that enabled them to function as resonant cavities. The incorporation of these geometries into ancient temples to function as "coupled harmonic oscillators."
Architect Dr. Ibrahim Karim proved with his work on Biogeometry the effect of shape and form on various issues. A significant case study was alleviating negative symptoms on residents' health from a mobile antenna placed inside an old church in Hemberg, Switzerland, by the use of specific geometries. As old churches were also placed in energy spots, and architecture of the building was designed to amplify that energy through its geometry and materials, it also amplified the energy emission of the antenna.
The shape and geometry of the molecules gives their properties. By joining the same types of atoms in different geometrical configurations we get different molecules- which shows the effect of geometry on energy and matter.
The focus of shape and material was to concentrate further the naturally occurring earth energy fluctuations.
The material could multiply further and conduct them; materials high in crystals (Silica), which is piezoelectric, was used in the structures for that reason.
The telluric electric currents are intensified at specific times and dates, due to the effect of celestial bodies such as the sun.
The geomagnetic field fluctuates according to the daily solar movement and solar winds. It also varies according to the lunar day and yearly solar orientation.
Computer simulation of the Earth's field in a period of normal polarity between reversals. (public domain )
Openings, geometry and orientations of ancient monuments were found also to be aligned with solar location at specific times and dates, and astronomical points or events.
The reason is that certain planetary patterns create fields when certain types of events can take place.
Specific celestial geometries where actually a way of intensifying the energy concentration of a structure, placed on a geophysical anomaly, as described above.
Engineer J H Nelson, while working for the RCA, produced 5 year experiments, that proved radio signal quality varied with planetary positions, and that there was a clear correlation between planetary angles and field variations.
Results vary over time, in accordance with the position of celestial bodies in relationship to the earth, and to the position on the earth and the season in which an experiment was performed.
Effect on people, animals and plants
It has been shown that low levels of stress in short exposure times can been extremely healing. Various electromagnetic therapies, low radiation treatments, hot-cold exposure, are all based on this principle. Short term low dose stress can increase the number of mitochondria per cell, whereas long term stress of the same source can be extremely damaging and induce chronic disease. The same principle has been used by John Burke and others after him, to pre-treat seeds with short term electromagnetic stress, and have as a result much stronger plants with higher yield.
Corn seeds placed shortly on a geophysical anomaly had 100% faster growth than controls, produced three times corn by weight (Burke, 2005)
The work of Dr. Dieter Aschoff, proved the effect of geo-physical anomalies on people, through the use of an electromagnetic blood test. He found that these anomalies caused the bloods field oscillation polarity to invert.
In a research experiment done on more than 800 people, called the Vienna report, group of 20 scientists including found significant results on people exposed on a geophysical anomaly. There were signification changes in serotonin, zinc and calcium levels, and also in immunoglobulins, such as IgA.
The earth field's fluctuations create electric fields not only in the earth, but in any material that can conduct electricity. Especially our brain is great electrical conductor, so these fluctuations can create DC electric fields in our brain, which can have intensely mental effects.
Dr. Persinger studied the effect of geomagnetic fluctuations on human biology, and noticed a significant change in brain activity, sleep and mood disturbances and other health effects.
Dr. Debertolis, in the archaeoacoustics field, found that there are specific frequencies that can be detected in ancient monuments (around mostly 90–120 Hz). His work with EEG on people while I these temples showed that there was intense activity in the frontal or occipital lobe. Also the work of Dr. Cook had the same findings regarding the frequencies found in ancient temples and their effect on the human brain.
The hypogeum in Malta is an ancient monument that produces specific sound frequencies ( malta.com)
Dr. Hacker also indicates that longitudinal scalar waves are the cause of symptoms on biology in different locations. In some of his experiments he made measurements showing the effect of geophysical anomalies and rise of A-amylase, a signal of stress.
Dr. Barbara Tombarkiewicz in her own research proved the effect of geomagnetic anomalies on cow's health. When they were moved the anomaly location they developed health problems above a normally expected ratio, and also showed lower levels zinc, copper and iron.
A secondary effect of telluric currents is that they attract airborne electrically charged particles of the opposite charge these can have a significant effect on biology. The effects of breathing air ions have been shown in details in studies by A. P. Krueger.
We could say that a temple is the sum/ fusion of earthly and heavenly energies — not just a spiritual theory, but a proven one scientifically- that could affect biology, plants and animals in various ways.
Lydia Giannoulopoulou is planning research to investigate the effect of geophysical anomalies on health and their relation to buildings, as well as the reason for situating ancient temples in locations with particular geophysical properties.

"It's not the camera; it's the culture," the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. said April 11 during his weekly Rainbow PUSH forum aired nationwide from Chicago. Emphasizing this distinction, Jackson uttered the phrase twice when discussing the murder of Walter Scott by North Charleston, South Carolina, police officer Michael Slager.
Politicians and police departments have turned toward the body camerato improve relations between police officers and the communities they serve and to lessen violence perpetrated by—and we hope against—police officers. But it will take more than body cameras, police dashboard cameras, and cameras installed in public places to make people feel safer. Increasing surveillance is not enough.
