We had a great Saturday at Kelvedon over the weekend, with a great spectator and participant turnout to our Tassal Sponsor Day. A huge thanks to Holly-Lace Ayton for organising the fun, games, and music, and a huge thanks to Sean Riley from Tassal for coming along to represent one of the Club's major sponsors.
The day started out on a high, with our Men's Championship 1 team absolutely demolishing their Olympia Warriors opponents. Henry Ralph scored 7 goals alone, Toby Dove contributed a hat trick, David Abbott and Jonas Rutherford bagging a brace each, and Matt Chapman, Alex Clarke, and Liam Ransome all snagging a goal to add up a whopping 17-0. The Men's Championship team followed suit, with another dominating win over their Olympia counterparts (7-0).
Unfortunately our WSL Pirates were not able to celebrate their game with the club song afterwards, copping a hard loss to the Northern travellers (2-8). After conceding two early goals, our Pirates held fast through the majority of the first half and a promising goal from Caity Riley boosted the mood for a short while. Daisy Parsell's goal early in the second half also provided a burst of optimism, however Jazmin White from the Devonport Strikers proved to be too speedy and deadly this time around.
Alexander Edward's first half penalty wasn't enough to win the Men's Championship 3 match against Kingborough on Sunday, with the Lions taking back the game 1-3. Our Women's Championship 1 team were also unlucky in their match against South Hobart, conceding a couple in the first half but fighting strong to keep the remainder of the game goalless (0-2).
Our senior teams now all have a break this weekend as the Lakoseljac Cup and Women's Statewide Cup Finals are both being played on Monday. We hope all our players, supporters and volunteers enjoy their weekend off, and look forward to being back in action again soon. In the meantime, be sure to head to Kelvedon next Wednesday night to catch our U18's in their home game against South Hobart Blue.
6pm: U18s: Taroona FC Black vs South Hobart Blue, Kelvedon

Students hurry from class to class carrying big loads of books in their backpacks, lunch boxes full of food, and an extra jacket. In each class there is the continuous struggle to focus on what the teacher is saying while not thinking about how hot or cold they are (which depends on the classroom).
When Mother Nature calls, students rush to the bathroom where they usually have the option of one to two working bathroom stalls. After students are done, they wash their hands with water only, and are then forced to air dry, since most of the time there is no soap and the hand dryers aren't working. When the bell rings, they run outside and see the big, shiny sun that they didn't even know came out that day due to the lack of windows in each room.
At the high school, there is little consensus about what should happen with the school. But a majority of students agree that the school is falling apart and that something needs to be changed.
A problem that a lot of students agree on is the temperature fluctuation from room to room throughout the school.
Temperature regulation isn't the only problem with the air conditioning, it is also leaking, which has become a safety concern for the students. During the first week of school, Mr. Miller, a math teacher, was moved to a different room because the safety of his room and the adjacent bathrooms was questionable.
Mr. Miller's class has yet to return to their room, and this scare has disrupted the students. Mike Ryan, a junior, said that if the school got fixed he "wouldn't have to worry about getting crushed by" air conditioning vents.
This problem is also happening other places around the school. Leaks from the ceiling have caused the floor in the gym to erode, and over time it has been replaced on numerous occasions.
Another problem with the school is its safety. A school resource officer patrols the school, but if there ever were an extreme emergency, the school would have a problem. Within the history, English, and math pod, there are three unprotected, accessible doors, and sometimes they're unlocked.
Still with all the problems the school has, not everyone believes there should be a new school.
The students at the high school are anticipating the outcome once voters leave their booth on November 6. Some are praying that our school doesn't fall apart before then. But most are going to have to trust in the adults to make the choice they think is most fitting.


I find it peculiar that you are not celebrating the fact that this so-called "holocaust" never happened? You must be a jew hater yourself! Perhaps it is a wish of yours — that jews and other people were done away with in the most unimaginable scenarios which defies even the truly perverted person's mind.

As a nurse and teacher, Karen Castoro keeps Binghamton healthy
By Tiffany Moustakas - February 10, 2015
Duncan McInnes/Pipe Dream Staff Photographer
When Karen Castoro gets ready every morning, she's preparing for two jobs: nurse practitioner and aerobics instructor.
Castoro decided on her first career choice as a nurse practitioner at a young age. Despite not having any family members in the medical field, she always said she wanted to be a nurse.
"In first grade, we had a little drawing we were supposed to do [called] 'When I grow up I want to be' and I wrote 'a nurse,' and I drew a picture of a nurse," Castoro said. "My mom actually framed it and I've got it in my office."
Originally from Carmel, New York, her family moved to Endicott when her father got a job at IBM. From then on, Castoro attended high school there and was part of the cheerleading, swimming and track teams. Although she actively participated in sports, Castoro noticed she gained some weight her junior year.
"With all of the sports, I never really challenged my body," she said. "I wasn't really that into exercise as much as I was into team sports and being with my friends."
All of that changed when she took a fitness class taught by a Binghamton University student. By the end of the class, the student was graduating and offered Castoro the teaching position. Without hesitation, she got her aerobics certification and took over the class shortly after graduating high school.
And she's been doing it since. Castoro ended up enrolling as a student at BU for both her undergraduate and graduate degrees in nursing. Throughout her time as a student, she continued teaching and taking fitness classes, eventually turning it into another career.
By the time she completed both degrees, she was pregnant with her first child and was working in pediatrics. Then she was offered a position in gynecology at OB-GYN Associates in Johnson City and Endicott.
Today, Castoro works all over Binghamton with flexible hours to accommodate her four children, who range from 3 to 15 years old. Aside from OB-GYN Associates, she teaches fitness classes at Court Jester Athletic Club in Johnson City. During the school year, Castoro teaches Wellness thru Aerobics and Contemporary Health Issues at Binghamton University, where she's gained something of a following among students. In those two classes, she helps students evaluate how to stay healthy and fit in this day and age.
Castoro sees a connection between medicine and holistic wellness.
"I think that both of my careers are intertwined," she said. "I think that I'm doing a lot of teaching with my patients and I teach them a lot about nutrition and fitness, and that's exactly what I'm doing with my college students."
Her biggest tip for students, and sometimes for patients, is that they try different methods of exercise, "Whether it's an intramural sport, running around campus [or] trying out a spinning class," Castoro said, "because you need to have that exercise in your life, that fitness in your life and you're not going to do it if you don't like it. So by trying different things, you'll be able to find something that you really enjoy doing."
"She has motivated me to see the positive outlook on life and to better myself in all aspects of wellness, from physical wellness, to mental wellness, spiritual wellness and so on," said Nicole Lebowitz, a senior majoring in psychology who took Castoro's class last semester. "The lessons I learned in Karen's class will stick with me after I graduate, and her enthusiastic attitude about life and wellness motivates me to find the same balance and well-being in my life."
Looking ahead to her future, Castoro hopes to get her doctorate as a nurse practitioner with a focus on doing research in exercise, fitness and nutrition. But for now, she'll stick with what she has.
"Right now, I love both of my careers," she said. "But my children are really my top priority and they're keeping me extremely busy."

Stephz – Eclipse
By Ellie Mullins
Here at We Rave You, we love to support up-and-coming talents who don't fit a mould but instead love experimenting with different styles and sounds, and young talent Stephz is certainly one of them. He has a unique love for the energetic style of hardstyle (with a massive inspiration being Headhunterz) whilst also connecting with big room which makes him an excitingly unpredictable talent.
His newest single 'Eclipse' showcases his diverse talents extremely well. Also sourcing inspiration from Headhunterz for this track, he was inspired to embrace his full potential in this and it shines through really well.
The beautiful vocals combined with the powerful melodies that shine through make 'Eclipse' one of the best tracks to come out of Stephz' career so far and he is still only just beginning. Having strong sources of motivations for it, this was destined to be a banger from the start and deserves to be played out at all the huge festivals. Expect to add this one to all of your playlists and dance until your hearts content!
The fireball of talent has massive plans for 2020 – including rejuvenating the big room era – and now is the perfect time to get behind his music and his career!

Tony Finau made headlines at the Masters Par-3 Contest after dislocating his left ankle while celebrating a hole-in-one. It appeared that Finau had derailed his first visit to Augusta National before it even began.
As luck would have it, Finau received positive results from an MRI prior to his tee time on Thursday and was cleared to play in the Masters. Expectations were low for a competitor walking around with what was classified as a high ankle sprain.
However, Finau went out and turned heads by posting a four-under 68 in his opening round. He hung around with respectable play Friday and Saturday before closing out his first Masters with a bang. Finau shot six under on Sunday, putting him at seven under for the tournament, good enough for a T-10 finish.
At the conclusion of play, Finau shared a photo of his injured ankle.
That doesn't look pleasant, to say the least. To finish your first Masters at seven under is impressive enough on two good ankles, but seeing this photo makes what Finau accomplished absolutely remarkable.
His T-10 finish secured him a spot in the 2019 Masters. No celebrating next year, Tony.


I put in a new heating & cooling system last winter; do I need to schedule regular maintenance?
Yes!! Even though your system is new, it still needs to have annual maintenance performed. This will help keep the warranty in effect. Most all equipment manufacturers state in the terms of their warranty that a qualified technician must perform annual maintenance. Also, keeping your system maintained will give you assurance that it is operating at peak efficiency and safety.

So here's a dump of plate-wearers. Isabeau you've already seen here, but she appears here again in the little "diorama" I made because reasons. I came up with a little story idea for these guys, in that the paladins all wear red cloaks/capes/what-have-you and white armor. The anti-paladin was once a member of their same order, but kept his cloak as a sort of middle finger to his old friends. It's a sore spot between them all. Almaran is a bit pale as I was using the Fair Skin paints on him and have decided I'll likely stick to Rosy Skin as the absolute "fairest" I'm going to paint someone who is not undead. He looks sickly, at least in person. Also I didn't see the mold line on his face before I was painting him so he has a kind of Two Face thing going on that he shamefully hides behind his shield. I've actually painted all 3 of the paladins before. My other Almaran is floating around here somewhere. My Duke and Isabeau though are kind of laughably bad, particularly contrasted with their newer, shinier versions, at least to me. We're our own hardest critics, right? Anyway, enjoy!

Y&R's Scott Is A Grandmother!
THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS star Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) and her husband, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL producer Ed Scott, are first-time grandparents… times two! The couple's daughter, Jennifer, gave birth to twins earlier today.
"We've got babies!" the proud grandmother tweeted. James Rawlings Christenson was born at 7:59 a.m., weighing 6 lbs., 3 oz., and his sister, Charlotte Scott Christenson, entered the world at 8:00 a.m., weighing 6 lbs., 2 oz. The babies are the first for Jennifer Scott Christenson — a Y&R and B&B associate director who began her career as a production associate at her mom's soap — and husband John. Congratulations to the entire family!
UPDATE: "I am in love!" Scott tells Soaps In Depth. "James is a handsome low key guy, just chillin'. Charlotte is stunningly beautiful and knows it! Very alert beyond her hours. They had to take her out of my arms but I'll be back soon to get another fix. Fixed for life! We are all so very happy and blessed. Also grateful to so many friends and fans around the world for their kind wishes."

Jon Pack in an American photographer based in New York City. Pack is known as a photojournalist and street photographer, and for his work as an on-location still photographer for film and television productions.

Career
While watching the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Pack became interested the afterlife of the venues constructed for the Olympic Games. He told CNN, "All the coverage was talking about how much money was being spent on the Olympics in Beijing. It was so surprising that instead of talking about the athletes or the sports, they were talking so much about the facilities and amount of money." Pack began traveling to host cities to photograph former Olympic venues in Autumn, 2008. "I want to see what hosting the Olympics does to a city," Pack said in an interview with The Atlantic. "Both the good and the bad: how it instills a sense of national pride, how it can help a city find incredible new ways to use its own space, how it can be completely overshadowed by events like war or economic collapse, and how it can create modern day ruins in the midst of places that are otherwise bustling."

In 2012, Pack began collaborating with filmmaker Gary Hustwit and announced The Olympic City, a documentary photography project that would look at former host cities of the Olympic Games and how the events had impacted those cities. The first phase of the project looked at 13 cities, the resulting photographs were published in a hardcover book in 2013. The photos were also shown at museums and galleries including Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York, the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, and the Brooklyn Museum of Art 2016 exhibit "Who Shot Sports?". Hustwit and Pack have stated that this is an ongoing project and that they are continuing to photograph additional cities around the world.

On November 13, 2015, Pack was in Paris during the terrorist attacks, and took photos of the aftermath.

In 2020, Pack collaborated with writer Mathias Svalina on The Depression, a book of poetry and photographs described as "a surreal and shifting deep-dive into clinical depression".

Pack has been active as a still photographer for film and television, shooting on-location photos for film including While We're Young, directed by Noah Baumbach, Hearts Beat Loud, directed by Brett Haley, and the television series Search Party and Broad City.

As of the 2010 census, the population was 718,451.[3] Redwood City is the county seat,[4] and the third most populated city following Daly City and San Mateo. San Mateo County is included in the San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley, CA MSA (metropolitan statistical area), Silicon Valley, and is part of the San Francisco Bay Area, the nine counties bordering San Francisco Bay. It covers most of the San Francisco Peninsula. San Francisco International Airport is located in the northeastern area of the county and is approximately 7 miles south of the city and county limits of San Francisco. The county's built-up areas are mostly suburban, and are home to several corporate campuses.
San Mateo County was formed in 1856 upon the division of San Francisco County, one of the state's 18 original counties established at California statehood in 1850. Until 1856, San Francisco's city limits extended west to Divisadero Street and Castro Street, and south to 20th Street. In 1856, the California state government divided the county. A straight line was then drawn across the tip of the San Francisco Peninsula just north of San Bruno Mountain. Everything south of the line became the new San Mateo County while everything north of the line became the new consolidated City and County of San Francisco.[5] San Mateo County was officially organized on April 18, 1857 under a bill introduced by Senator T.G. Phelps. The 1857 bill defined the southern boundary of San Mateo County as following the south branch of San Francisquito Creek to its source in the Santa Cruz Mountains and thence due west to the Pacific Ocean, and named Redwood City as the county seat.[6] San Mateo County then annexed part of northern Santa Cruz County in March 1868, including Pescadero and Pigeon Point.[7][6]
Although the formation bill named Redwood City the county seat, a May 1856 election marked by "unblushing frauds perpetuated on an unorganized and wholly unprotected community by thugs and ballot stuffers from San Francisco" named Belmont the county seat.[8] The election results were declared illegal and the county government was moved to Redwood City, with land being donated from the original Pulgas Grant for the county government on February 27, 1858.[8] Redwood City's status as county seat was upheld in two successive elections in May 1861 and December 9, 1873, defeating San Mateo and Belmont.[8] Another election in May 1874 named San Mateo the county seat, but the state supreme court overturned that election on February 24, 1875, and the county seat has remained at Redwood City ever since.[8]
San Mateo County bears the Spanish name for Saint Matthew. As a place name, San Mateo appears as early as 1776 in the diaries of Anza and Font.[9] Several local geographic features were also designated San Mateo on early maps including variously: a settlement, an arroyo, a headland jutting into the Pacific (Point Montara), and a large land holding (Rancho San Mateo). Until about 1850, the name appeared as San Matheo.
Japanese Americans in San Mateo
The Japanese first arrived in San Mateo County and were part of a group guided by Ambassador Tomomi Iwakura back in 1872.[10] There were a number of all-male Japanese students who came to San Mateo to learn English and many other helpful skills to bring back to Japan.[11] These students were also some of the first Japanese to join American students in the Belmont School for Boys. These students had to work for their housing and food before classes and in the evenings.[11] Many of the first Japanese immigrants were able to find jobs as gardeners and landscapers In San Mateo. Most of them had a good educational background from their homelands, but their lack of knowledge of the English language made it difficult for them to find other jobs in the beginning.[12]
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 741 square miles (1,920 km2), of which 448 square miles (1,160 km2) is land and 293 square miles (760 km2) (40%) is water.[13] It is the third-smallest county in California by land area. A number of bayside watercourses drain the eastern part of the county including San Bruno Creek and Colma Creek. Streams draining the western county include Frenchmans Creek, Pilarcitos Creek, Naples Creek, Arroyo de en Medio, and Denniston Creek. These streams originate along the northern spur of the Santa Cruz Mountains that run through the county. The northern and eastern parts of the county are very heavy densely populated with largely urban and suburban areas, with many of its cities as edge-cities for the Bay Area, while the deep south and the west-central parts of the county are less densely populated with more rural environment and coastal beaches areas.
The Santa Cruz Mountains cross through San Mateo County. In comparison to the rest of the county, the area is quite rural and forested.
San Mateo County straddles the San Francisco Peninsula, with the Santa Cruz Mountains running its entire length. The county encompasses a variety of habitats, including estuarine, marine, oak woodland, redwood forest, coastal scrub and oak savannah. There are numerous species of wildlife present, especially along the San Francisco Bay estuarine shoreline, San Bruno Mountain, Fitzgerald Marine Reserve and the forests on the Montara Mountain block. Several creeks discharge to the San Francisco Bay, including San Mateo Creek and Laurel Creek, and several coastal streams discharge to the Pacific Ocean, such as Frenchmans Creek and San Vicente Creek.
Año Nuevo State Marine Conservation Area and Greyhound Rock State Marine Conservation Area are two adjoining marine protected areas off the coast of San Mateo County. Like underwater parks, these marine protected areas help conserve ocean wildlife and marine ecosystems.
The county is home to several endangered species including the San Francisco garter snake and the San Bruno elfin butterfly, both of which are endemic to San Mateo County. The endangered Ridgway's Rail is also found on the shores of San Francisco Bay, in the cities of Belmont and San Mateo. The endangered wildflower Hickman's potentilla is found near the Pacific Ocean on the lower slopes of Montara Mountain. The endangered wildflowers White-rayed pentachaeta, Pentachaeta bellidiflora, San Mateo Woolly Sunflower, Eriophyllum latilobum, Marin Dwarf Flax, Hesperolinon congestum and the San Mateo Thornmint, Acanthomintha duttonii, are found in the vicinity of the Crystal Springs Reservoir.
In May 2014, a California condor was spotted near Pescadero, a coastal community south of San Francisco[14]—it was the first California condor spotted in San Mateo County since 1904.[14] The condor, tagged with the number "597", and also known as "Lupine", is one of 439 condors living in the wild or captivity in California, Baja California and Arizona.[14][15] The three-year-old female flew more than 100 miles (160 km) north from Pinnacles National Park, in San Benito County, on May 30, and landed on a private, forested property near Pescadero, on the San Mateo County Coast, where it was photographed by a motion-activated wildlife camera.[14] Harold Heath, Professor Emeritus, of Stanford University was responsible for the 1904 sighting, 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the University campus.[14][16]
Pumas (Puma concolor), also known as cougars or mountain lions, roam the county.[17]
Tule elk (Cervus canadensis nannodes) were native to San Mateo County and among the "favored foods" of the Ohlone people based on ethnohistoric and archeological evidence there.[18] The discovery of two elk specimens made news in 1962, one a royal elk (royal elk bulls have six tines per antler) from a peat bog excavated in Pacifica's historic Laguna Alta, and now in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology collection.[19][20] These may date from the time of Spanish settlement.[21] Laguna Alta lay just south of the Interstate 280 and Skyline Boulevard intersection, east of Mussel Rock.[22] The California Academy of Sciences also has an elk skull fragment collected one mile inland from the mouth of Purisima Creek in 1951.[23] Additional coastal elk remains dating from the Middle and Late Periods in Northern California were found in at least five more late Holocene archeological sites in San Mateo County: SMA-115 (Montara State Beach site), SMA-118 (Bean Hollow State Beach site), SMA-244 (Butano Ridge site), SMA-97 (Año Nuevo Creek site) and SMA-218 (Año Nuevo State Reserve site).[24] On the eastern side of the San Francisco Peninsula, elk remains were also unearthed at multiple archaeological sites along San Francisquito Creek.[25][26]

A July 2013 Wall Street Journal article identified the Facebook initial public offering (IPO) as the cause of a change in the U.S.' national economic statistics, as San Mateo County—the home of the company—became the top wage-earning county in the country after the fourth quarter of 2012. The article revealed that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the average weekly wage in the county was $3,240, which is 107% higher than the previous year: "That's the equivalent of $168,000 a year, and more than 50% higher than the next highest county, New York County (better known as Manhattan), which came in at $2,107 a week, or roughly $110,000 a year."[79]

The Kids Heart Research DNA Bank is a collection of DNA samples from individuals who have been treated for congenital heart disease at The Children's Hospital at Westmead. These samples are a critical resource to support our genetic research.
Identifying the cause of congenital heart disease
To date there is still no known cause for the majority of congenital heart diseases. Our research aims to establish links between changes in genes known to be involved in heart development and heart disease. To do this research we need to analyse DNA from large numbers of patients. Together with other research groups in Australia and around the world we are trying to identify the causes of congenital heart disease to improve our understanding of this condition and to develop better treatments.
The Kids Heart Research DNA Bank
We began collecting DNA samples from patients with 'holes in the heart' (ASDs and VSDs) in 2003. This was part of a small study looking into the genetic mechanisms involved in causing holes in the heart. In 2007, we set up the Kids Heart Research DNA Bank. We expanded our collection to include samples from patients with any type of CHD, and broadened our research aims to cover CHD in general.
How is a sample collected?
A small sample of blood is collected from patients during surgery or catheterisation at The Children's Hospital at Westmead. The amount of blood varies from 2 ml (½ teaspoon) to 9 ml (2 teaspoons), depending on the age of the patient. The DNA is extracted from the white blood cells in the blood sample, processed and stored in the DNA Bank.
Anyone affected by any type of structural heart defect and having treatment at The Children's Hospital at Westmead can participate. Participants are usually recruited during their stay at the hospital. We also collect samples from parents of affected children (known as trios) as well as controls (individuals with no history, past or present, of CHD). Both groups, particularly the controls, are important for comparative research, and are essential to any study. Samples from parents and controls can be collected at The Children's Hospital at Westmead by appointment. We have also set up a contract with Symbion Laverty Pathology so participants can have their blood samples collected at their nearest Symbion Laverty Collection Centre.
DNA samples: access and security
All identifying information for stored samples of DNA is removed. Samples are given a unique computer-generated number which corresponds to the DNA Bank database. This database is confidential and secure and only accessible to the manager of the DNA Bank and the Genetic Counsellor. In this way samples are de-identified but are potentially re-identifiable using the numbered code. The information stored in the database, as well as the DNA, can only be used by The Children's Hospital at Westmead and their approved collaborators and colleagues working in research related to CHD. All studies and sample storage are approved by the Ethics Committee of The Children's Hospital and comply with the Privacy and Personal Information Act and the Health Information Act.
Managing the DNA Bank
The DNA Bank is managed by a governance group of professionals:
Professor David Winlaw (Head, Kids Heart Research and Cardiac Surgery, Sydney Children's Hospitals Network)
Associate Professor Gary Sholler (Senior Network Paediatric and Fetal Cardiologist, Sydney Children's Hospitals Network)
Professor Richard Harvey (Developmental Biologist, Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, Sydney)
Dr Meredith Wilson (Clinical Geneticist, The Children's Hospital at Westmead)
Professor Bernadette Tobin (Ethicist, Plunkett Centre for Ethics, St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney)
Dr Gillian Blue (Genetic Counsellor, Heart Centre for Children and Kids Heart Research)
The governance group is responsible for protecting the interests and privacy of those participating, and for ensuring that the valuable resource of the DNA Bank is put to best use from a research perspective. The group reports to the Ethics Committee of The Children's Hospital at Westmead or if advice is sought. The day-to-day issues and running of the DNA Bank are dealt with by the genetic counsellor, Dr Gillian Blue, with oversight by Professor David Winlaw.
How much blood will be required?
We will need:
2mls (½ teaspoon) of blood from children aged newborn to 2 years
5mls (1 teaspoon) from children up to 12 years old
9mls (2 teaspoons) from older children and adults.
Are there any risks to me or my child in this procedure?
There are no known risks in giving this volume of blood. In the case of your child, the blood is taken at the time of surgery when your child is anesthetised.
Can I take my DNA out of the bank?
Yes, you can request the sample to be removed from storage at any time. If you send us a written request, the sample and all records will be permanently destroyed.
Can I or my child be cloned from the DNA sample stored?
It is not possible to clone individuals from DNA alone. Furthermore, scientific and government regulation prevents human cloning.
Is there a benefit for me and my child?
Although there is no immediate personal gain from being involved, you will be helping research to identify the causes of CHD. This is likely to help develop better treatments and preventative measures.
What if you find something important in the genes?
When you agree to be involved, you can choose to be informed of discoveries relevant to you, your child or their potential offspring. If you choose to be notified, this information will be passed to your cardiologist who will discuss it with you, or arrange for this to be done in an appropriate way.
DNA Bank Studies and Collaborations
The samples stored in the DNA Bank have been used in numerous studies aimed at identifying genetic mechanisms involved in heart development and changes associated with congenital heart disease.
Current Studies and Collaborations
Whole genome sequencing studies in CHD
We are currently collaborating with Prof Sally Dunwoodie from the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute on a study in which we are performing whole genome sequencing (WGS) on children with CHD. WGS allows us to analyse an individual's entire genetic make-up which means we are able to discover new genes that could cause CHD. Additional consent needs to be obtained from participants in order for them to be included in this study.
Exome sequencing for novel gene discovery in CHD
As part of her PhD, Dr Gillian Blue applied exome sequencing on select families from the DNA Bank with strong histories of CHD in an attempt to identify novel causal genes. Exome sequencing rapidly analyses the entire coding sequence of an individuals' genome thereby accelerating gene discovery. The study has yielded some interesting findings which are currently being prepared for publication.
Exome sequencing in patients with congenitally corrected TGA and HLH
In this study, we are collaborating with A/Prof Paul Grossfeld a Paediatric Cardiologist and Associate Professor at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). He is using exome sequencing to screen individuals affected by congenitally corrected TGA (ccTGA) and hypoplastic left heart (HLH) to identify new variants and genes that could be causing these heart conditions. As with the other genome/exome sequencing studies, additional consent was obtained in order for these participants to be included.
iPS cells to probe the molecular basis of congenital heart disease
We are collaborating with Prof Richard Harvey from the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute to investigate congenital heart disease at the molecular and cellular level using induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell technology. The study focuses on patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and their families and potential participants in this study are re-consented prior to inclusion.
Past and Completed Research
The CHD gene panel
As part of her PhD, Gillian Blue designed the first CHD gene panel using targeted next generation sequencing technology. This tool was used to screen 16 families in which multiple members were affected by CHD in order to identify the cause of the heart defects in the family. The CHD gene panel was able to identify the cause of CHD in 5 out of the 16 families (31%) and these findings were published in the esteemed Journal of the American College of Cardiology in December 2014 see publication list.
Wellcome Trust Genome-wide Association Study in congenital heart disease
This international collaboration used genome-wide technology to identify new genes involved in heart development. Our DNA Bank contributed 400 samples towards a total of 2000 samples analysed from the various research centres around the world. The study identified a region on chromosome 4p that was associated with an increased risk of developing atrial septal defects (ASDs). The findings of this study were published in the esteemed Journal, Nature Genetics in 2013 see publication list.
CHeartED
Congenital HEART and Environment/Epidemiological Database (CHeartED) is another international genome-wide association study which focussed specifically on the heart condition, Tetralogy of Fallot. Two regions on chromosomes 12q and 13q were found to be associated with Tetralogy of Fallot. The findings of this study were published in Human Molecular Genetics in 2013 see publication list.
Cardiovascular Research Network (CVRN)
The primary focus of the CVRN is on left-sided heart disease and we were involved in a number of sub-studies relating to genetic aspects thereof. We collaborated with Prof Diane Fatkin and Prof Richard Harvey from the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute to discover new genes involved in the development of hypoplastic left heart using exome sequencing. In We also collaborated with Prof Chris Semsarian at the Centenary Institute in Sydney, on a study of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). This study sought to perform a comprehensive clinical and genetic investigation of individuals and families with BAV to identify novel genes with the view to improve diagnostics and risk stratification in families.
Somatic mutations in patients with congenital heart disease
Research suggested that mutations present in the DNA of the actual diseased heart tissue (somatic mutations) could explain certain types of CHD. We conducted a study on a small group of samples from our DNA Bank to investigate this further and concluded that somatic mutations were not a causal factor in our cohort.
Collaborations with Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute
We have on-going collaborations with world-renowned developmental biologist, Professor Richard Harvey from the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute. Numerous genes known to be involved in heart development have been analysed using samples from the Kids Heart Research DNA Bank and several rare mutations were identified. A study on the gene GATA4 identified two novel mutations associated with cardiac septal defects and in another study, mutations identified in the gene, TBX20, were the first to link this gene to human disease and the work culminated in a high profile publication in the American Journal of Human Genetics.
GATA4 mutations as a cause for CHD
Mutations in GATA4 have been associated with both familial and sporadic forms of CHD in the past. We investigated the pathogenic role of GATA4 in CHD by screening 357 unrelated patients with various forms of CHD. We identified two novel and two known mutations in patients with septal defect and thereby added to the spectrum of mutations associated with CHD.
During research into the immune processes and B-cell development, researcher Dr Fabienne Mackay at the Garvan Institute, serendipitously discovered an association between mutations in the gene encoding CXCR7 and the development of a specific type of CHD in a mouse model. The DNA Bank contributed 300 samples to successfully confirm this association with human CHD.
The DNA Bank is a valuable resource and the only one of its kind relating to congenital heart disease (CHD) in Australia. It allows us to support both current and future research into the genetic causes of CHD and we encourage collaborations with groups both within Australia and overseas.
Access to DNA Bank samples
External researchers are able to access DNA Bank specimens for research related to the genetics of CHD. The intended study will be discussed by the Governance Group of the DNA Bank and if approved will await review by the Ethics Committee at The Children's Hospital at Westmead. External researchers will need to provide:
A letter requesting access to samples which briefly outlines the intended study and the number of samples required, and
A copy of the ethics approval letter from the premises where the research will be undertaken.
NOTE: Potential studies will not require a full ethics submission at The Children's Hospital at Westmead however we are required to notify the ethics committee of the intended participation of DNA Bank specimens and provide proof of ethics approval. Following approval of the study by the Ethics Committee at The Children's Hospital at Westmead, a material transfer agreement (MTA) will be drafted and the samples issued to the researcher. The DNA Bank is a precious resource which only becomes more valuable as it grows. Maintaining the collection requires considerable resources and a small fee per sample is requested of external researchers, to allow for cost recovery.
If you would like to participate in our research, or would like some more information on the DNA Bank, please contact DNA Bank Co-ordinator Dr Gillian Blue via our contact page or call her on (02) 9845 2345.

CLNZ/NZSA Writers' Award 2019 has been won by Christchurch writer Rebecca Macfie
Posted on 23 October 2019 Categories: Awards and Grants, News No comments yet
Rebecca Macfie has won the $25,000 Writers' Award for her biography of Helen Kelly – the first woman to lead the New Zealand labour movement.
"Helen Kelly modernised the union movement and took a special interest in improving worker health and safety. The biography is in the capable hands of an experienced journalist and author."
– Neville Peat, 2019 judge.
The 2019 Copyright Licensing New Zealand (CLNZ) and New Zealand Society of Authors (NZSA) $25,000 Writers' Award is one of the investments made through the CLNZ Cultural Fund and is open to writers of any genre of non-fiction, including writers of education material. The award enables the successful applicant to devote time to a specific writing project.
Rebecca Macfie has been a journalist for three decades, including eleven years as a senior writer for the New Zealand Listener, a job she left in March 2018 to research and write the biography of Helen Kelly.
"It is a huge honour to receive this award, and I am immensely grateful to CLNZ, NZSA and the judges. Financially, it is a big help, but more importantly it is a really heartening endorsement of the project itself," says Rebecca.
"This is the most challenging piece of work I have ever taken on, with a large amount of archival material, historical context and interviews to grapple with and weave into a readable and relevant story. This award is a great confidence booster for me, and affirms my belief that Helen Kelly's story is one that New Zealanders will want to read."
Rebecca has also written for the New Zealand Herald, Independent Business Weekly, National Business Review, Unlimited Magazine, and Safeguard Magazine. She is the author of Tragedy at Pike River Mine: How and why 29 men died, which was published by Awa Press in 2013. She lives in Christchurch.
The CLNZ/NZSA Writers' Award 2019 judging panel said that Rebecca's project stood out among a strong field of over 40 applications.
"Not only is its primary subject an important figure in modern New Zealand public life, whose memory is still fresh in people's minds, but her story amounts also to a crucial piece of contemporary social and political history. Rebecca is a writer and journalist with an admirable record already, and this project clearly deserves to be supported," said judge Finlay Macdonald.
Judge Rebecca Priestley agrees saying, "This is an extremely strong project by an established and acclaimed writer. It meets all the criteria for the award and was an easy first choice."
Congratulations to Shortlisted Authors, Dr Sarah Jane Barnett and Nick Bollinger
The judges also highlighted Dr Sarah-Jane Barnett's project Hidden Women: New Narratives of Middle Life and Nick Bollinger's Revolutions Per Minute: the Counterculture in New Zealand, 1960-75 as strong, creative projects with wide appeal. The judges hope to see all three projects published in the future.
CLNZ and the NZSA are delighted to assist New Zealand authors through the Writers' Award. Funding comes from CLNZ's Cultural Fund which derives revenue from CLNZ's licensing activity in New Zealand. The licensed copying of copyright material is helping to fund the creation of new work.
The 2019 judging panelists were Rebecca Priestley, Finlay Macdonald and Neville Peat.
NZSA was proud to administer the CLNZ/NZSA Writers' Award this year. CLNZ and NZSA would like to thank all the writers who took the time to apply.
