Are You Ready for Mobile Content Marketing?
How are you reaching Customers in Mobile Marketing?
Online eCommerce and shopping has become the norm. The process to buy online has also been simplified. With marketing being built around content for maximum affect, you have to start merging the gap between marketing and purchasing.
Technology is making it easier to buy quickly and with less friction. Friction breaks down to steps taken completing a transaction. More steps and the conversion rate to final sale drops after each step. Now companies are making one & two click purchases easy within their advertising.
Your content marketing has to consider the one click buy now. Pinterest is a perfect example. Most of the purchase process is done within Pinterest and little to no interaction with the businesses actual online store.
What does your marketing look like now to drive purchases and first buys directly from other channels? You have to remember the first buys are the hardest sells, after that they know and like your product. So this mind-set is a good starting point. When thinking about marketing, pay attention to factors you use in attracting those first time buyers. Incorporate them into the one/two click purchase social advertising for maximum impact with repeat buyers.
Remember to keep your 'sales' chatter to an even balance. Social Media still isn't about direct selling, but more creating the brand awareness and lifestyle around your company customers will embrace. When the hard sell comes out in advertising, you are not going to have the results you wanted.
Start working towards a strategy with long term planning for everything coming in marketing!
Are you being Effective on Facebook?
Facebook has evolved over the years. And again another algorithm update changes the way marketers can be effective in getting content to their fans. As marketers and marketing managers, it's important to have a strong foundation to be successful in the long term as Facebook continues to update the algorithm.
Any Facebook strategy now requires some sort of monetary budget to supplement quality content. The options vary based on your exact outcome, but the goal is to drive more potential clients to your page, to see you post, and ultimately off Facebook and to your website. It's setting up these ad channels and watching them to adjust in real time that helps grow your reach and engagement.
The recent update put a damper on the like option. Likes help your social proof, however they aren't as boost worthy towards the algorithm as they once were. Social proof refers to the ripple effect your fans have by liking and engaging your post, thereby giving outsiders to your company reassurance your information is valuable enough to follow as well.
You want to focus on content, strategy, and long term campaigns to be effective. You can't go into Facebook without a game plan. It will show and your analytics will also show that fact. Curating quality content that fans will be more likely to share themselves. Think about what the end goal is of someone seeing your Facebook page and status updates.
What social and digital marketing tools does your business use?
Digital Marketing may seem like it has no personal connection to your customers, but in reality, it's one of the best ways to keep a personal connection with them. Selling to someone once doesn't mean they will remember you the next time. You have to engage them and make them feel like a valuable customer over and over.
How often do you check your email in a day? How many of those newsletters do you open even if you don't like 'junk mail'? Email Marketing is still a powerful tool in your marketing efforts. It gives you the ability to share exact information you want the reader to see and offer a direct ways for them to said information. Just remember to add their name into the email.
For some companies, it's easier to get an answer on social media vs. sitting on the phone. As we check our emails multiple times a day, we are on social media multiple times a day. So if they start asking questions or acknowledging your presence on social media, you want to make sure and engage with them. In sales, you have to make multiple attempts to hook someone, commenting on social media counts as multiple attempts in one action.
Generating content online about your brand and industry is key to staying top of mind for customers and search. This starts to form an online community of readers who value your insight. This can be taken further by creating a special area for super fans that might include free samples or asking for direct feedback on new items before you release to the public.
With numerous ways to engage online, it gives you the ability to connect personally without having to knock on doors. Just make sure you have a game plan before diving in.
Do you have an effective way to manage all your clients?
Social media is meant to enhance the customer experience, not replace. Social media is another expense in your business, but it shouldn't come at a cost to other services. Especially when it comes to your customers!
Your customer service and experience is still the number one reason that continues to grow your business. Taking care of them builds a peer review system that elevates your business. Social media comes in to enhance this experience.
Chances are there are various ways in which you communicate with your clients. As you add new channels for this purpose, you can't ignore the ones you already have in place. Pick communication channels based on what you can handle in your business and where your customers are.
It's important to know about new marketing opportunities for your business, but don't take on more than you can handle. Over extending yourself unfortunately has a negative effect on customer experience. Don't assume that by having social media, you can ignore customer request from other sources they are use to.
Make sure you balance your team and budget. It's about overall success, not chasing what is new or what everyone else is doing. As you grow, ensure that everyone on your team knows what expectations are moving forward. Keep track of how your growth will enhance your experience with your customer as well as their experience with your business.
Let us work with you on an audience analysis so you know where to be marketing!
Are you being effective in what you say online?
Noticed I didn't say hire. Each business is unique, which is the best part about building a digital marketing strategy for your company. If you aren't familiar with the in's and out's of digital marketing or social media, then you should think about bringing someone in to set up a strategy your business can flourish with.
A long term plan is critical for your business success. Just as you wrote out a business plan, a marketing strategy is key. If you aren't integrating all aspects of your business with your marketing, you can be missing out on additional revenue. As consultants, we come in and build that strategy plan as well as help you implement and understand.
While in fact you can spend the time researching, building out the plan, implementing yourself; why? Your time is valuable and most suited on what you're great at! Leave other details to professionals as well. Social Media & Digital Marketing doesn't have to be time consuming. There are plenty of tricks you can utilize yourself to be effective in your marketing message and campaigns. We make sure you have and know those tools.
It changes constantly, and by bringing in someone to work with your company for a couple months, they know what you need. They know the foundation of each platform as well as up to date information. Having the foundation to any social media platforms allows you to adapt effectively and build upon while remaining relevant.
Customers and consumers are increasingly savvy shoppers and loyal to brands they like. Give them plenty of reasons to show off how much they love your product or service!
Are You Standing Out on Social Media?
The entrepreneurial bug bit and you want to start a business. I'll be the first one to tell you "awesome" and then start asking you questions. I've learned a thing or two along the way myself, so I know I am relatable to that initial excitement.
With modern technology, it's easy to build a website, set up social media accounts and then say 'OK, I'm ready to make money and for everyone to see what I have to offer'. Hopefully you realize it take a bit more effort. You're going to spend lots of time organizing, writing plans, and finding your ideal client.
What I find most often though, setting up a social media and digital marketing strategy is also part of the long term doesn't happen. This is where a disconnect happens as your business starts to grow, but you don't have a plan to keep your social media moving forward. So often it gets left behind and by not being active on a public platform is worse.
Your business has one key component allowing it to stand out from anyone else…YOU! Social media is more than advertising and sales, it's the personal touch people value. This allows you to resonate and connect with your audience. The personal touch allows for a chance to tailor your marketing message around your story and relate it to your customer needs. Having that list of ideal clients is key to formulating a successful social media and digital marketing strategy.
Before jumping into that new business venture, let's chat about how The Fresh Idea Group can lend a hand making that part of the process much easier.

Future of Eye Unit services at WRH; outsourcing of Cataract operations
Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Health the level of services that will be provided by the eye unit at Waterford Regional Hospital into the future in the context of the rearrangement of hospital services.
Reply from Minister James Reilly: Last May, I published the Government's plan to reorganise public hospitals into more efficient and accountable Hospital Groups which will harness the benefits of increased independence and greater control at local level. The establishment of acute hospitals into a small number of groups, each with its own governance and management, will, I believe, provide an optimum configuration for hospital services to deliver high-quality, safe patient care in a cost effective manner. The Deputy will be aware that the establishment of hospital groups was committed to in 'Future Health: A Strategic Framework for Reform' and is a key building block in delivering on the Programme for Government commitment to fundamentally reform our health service.
Hospital Groups will be required, within one year, to develop a strategic plan which will outline how they will provide more efficient and effective patient services; how they will reorganise these services to provide optimal care to the populations they serve; and how they will achieve maximum integration and synergy with other Groups and health services, particularly primary care and community based services. The role of individual hospitals within each group will be considered in detail in the context of this strategic plan.
Waterford Regional Hospital is part of the South/South West Group along with Cork University Hospital/CUMH; Mercy University Hospital; South Tipperary General Hospital; South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital; Kerry General Hospital, Bantry General Hospital; Mallow General Hospital, and Lourdes Orthopaedic Hospital, Kilcreene. It will therefore be a matter for the South/South West Group to determine where services, including ophthalmology, will be located within the Group, taking into account the health needs of the population as well as Government policy.
Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Health the position regarding the reported transfer of up to 1,200 cataract operations awaited by patients on the Waterford Regional Hospital list to private hospitals; the average cost to the Health Service Executive of outsourcing such surgery per patient; if there was any consultation with the salaried consultants at WRH who are both contracted and keen to carry out these procedures; and if he is concerned that this effectively represents a double payment by the State.
Reply from Minister James Reilly: In relation to the specific query raised by the Deputy, as this is a service matter it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.

These days, integrated speakers are common in both laptops and computer monitors. But regardless of how expensive a laptop or monitor is, an internal speaker rarely sounds good.
A set of desktop speakers is better because they aren't confined by the space limitations of a laptop or monitor. This extra space allows them to include amplifier components, which are crucial for producing a high-quality sound. But good desktop speakers aren't cheap!
In this article, you'll find several desktop speaker recommendations for getting the most bang for your buck, with a lean toward prioritizing sound quality over cost savings.
The Audioengine A5+ is the priciest option on this list, and it certainly earns its tag.
Would you expect a larger range of frequencies when paying this much? Sure. But it delivers such an incredible level of quality that it doesn't quite matter—the bass serves a richness that doesn't drown out everything else, and the treble is distinct without being obnoxious.
It comes with a 3.5mm stereo cable, an RCA cable, and a power cord (it can also be powered using USB if you wish). The included remote control is a nice bonus. The Audioengine A5+ will serve you well in all things, including gaming and multimedia.
The Edifier R2000DB is a strong runner-up to the Audioengine A5+—only slightly worse in most respects, but drastically more affordable. In fact, unless you're an audiophile of the strictest kind, you may not even notice the differences in day-to-day playback.
It produces a clean and full sound across its entire frequency range but is especially pleasant in the middle, making it a good choice as an all-around versatile option. The Bluetooth and optical connections are nifty as well.
Logitech is one of the most consistent product manufacturers of all time, and the Logitech Z623 is yet another notch in a belt full of affordable high-quality products for regular home users. With one RCA and two 3.5mm jacks, you can listen on up to three devices.
Though the Z623 is meant to be a mid-range speaker for all-around use, the 7-inch bass driver can really pump up the bass when necessary. You won't find a better value at this price.
Two alternate models also exist: one with a Bluetooth adapter and one with an optical input. Unfortunately, you can't get the Z623 with 3.5mm, RCA, Bluetooth, and optical inputs.
Released way back in 2000, the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 was one of the first desktop speakers to be THX certified, meaning it can deliver a sound quality that's on par with home entertainment theater systems. This is a top-notch choice for fans who love streaming TV shows and movies.
Though the frequency range is a bit narrow, the sound reproduction is very good all throughout. Don't let the fact that it's almost two decades old turn you away. It's still a solid pick.
If you want top-shelf quality with plug-and-play usability, then look to the Bose Companion 2 Series III. At just over 4 pounds, it's easily the most portable option on this list. Of course, that's only possible because it lacks a subwoofer, but don't let that turn you off.
For such compact speakers, the sound of the Bose Companion 2 Series III impresses, particularly in the rich bass frequencies. Though the sound quality falls off a bit in the higher trebles, it's still far more bearable than most computer speaker sets.
It's one of the best computer speakers under $ 100.
The KRK RP5 G3 boasts an incredible range, particularly in the upper frequencies, yet stays crystal clear and without distortion across most of that range. It has three rear knobs: a high-frequency adjuster (which existed on the RP5 G2), a low-frequency adjuster (which is a new and welcome feature), and a volume adjuster.
While you can use these speakers with a computer, the RP5 series is best known for its audio mixing fidelity, making it a top choice for DJs and musicians. You can rest assured knowing that you'll get great sound quality with these.
One thing to notice about the Mackie CR4BT is that 70Hz is its lowest bass response and the bass driver is only 4 inches—both unseen in other speakers around this price. But somehow it sounds pretty good.
Points in favor of the Mackie CR4BT: excellent bass and treble, a wide variety of common input types, and lightweight construction. Its main drawbacks? Subpar mids and enough distortion that true audiophiles might pick up on.
If the price of the Mackie CR4BT is a bit too much, consider grabbing the Mackie CR3 instead. It has an even tighter frequency range starting at 80Hz and lacks Bluetooth connectivity, but is a little less than half the price and sounds nearly as good.
Which Desktop Speakers Will You Get?
You've got a lot of options, and you can't go wrong with any of them. And yes, good-quality speakers are just as important for Mac sound quality as they are for Windows. While the integrated speaker in an iMac isn't bad, for example, it still pales in comparison to an external speaker.
If you're replacing older speakers, don't let them collect dust in a closet. Check out our article on ways to repurpose old desktop speakers and get some more value out of them!

Man says he was selling drugs to pay for a needed surgery because of lack of health insurance
01/04/2019 Jason Steen
40-year-old William Howse, III, says he was forced to sell drugs, in order to pay for a needed surgery, because of a lack of medical insurance. He was arrested after a traffic stop, which revealed marijuana, cocaine, and ecstasy in his vehicle. He is held in lieu of a $114,000 bond.

When asked if he had anything on him, Howse lifted his hands in the air, revealing a handgun tucked into his pants.
William Howse III (MNPD)
During a search of the vehicle, police found a backpack in the rear of the vehicle, which contained 5.4 grams of cocaine, 121.7 grams of marijuana, and 66.5 ecstasy pills, all of which were divided into their own bags. Howse disclosed to officers he was selling drugs in order to pay for a needed medical surgery.
William Ira Howse, III, is currently held in lieu of a $114,000 bond, charged with felon in possession of a handgun, possession w/intent SCH I, possession of firearm w/intent during felony, possession of cocaine, over .5 grams, and possession w/intent of marijuana 14.175 – 4535 grams.

Comics as an Educational Tool
Miomir Dejanović, Educator, Vranje, Serbia
Miomir Dejanović draws comics, illustrations and employs them as teaching aids. Winner of the Development and Popularisation of Balkan Comics Award for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, consecutively, he is declared as one of the best educators in Serbia. He has also won 'Best teacher in the former Yugoslavia'. His rich work biography can be found in the Lexicon of creators in education that mark Serbian education. With his versatility and special approach to teaching, teacher Miomir Dejanović attracted the attention of the general public. In turn, many newspapers dealing with upbringing and education wrote about his work with students, and several television reports were made about him. He was featured on the website of the President of the Republic of Serbia, in 'Best of Serbia' category.
How long have you been in the teaching profession?
I have been hanging around with students as a teacher for twenty-five years, and that has enabled me to learn a lot about children from children. Of course, I also try to have children learn as much as possible from me too. I believe that I manage to be the kind of teacher I would like to have if I were a student – a teacher who is ready to rise to the level of a child and live in the same world with children. The job of a teacher unites most of my interests, it allows me to flourish. I like to write, draw educational comics and illustrations, to make short educational films, but also to pass on my interests to young people. Fortunately, what is interesting to me is in most cases interesting to the students as well. It is nice to work and talk with children because they raise topics that are much more interesting and cheerful than the topics that adults deal with.
How did you come up with the idea to introduce comics in teaching as an alternative model of learning and adopting materials?
As a child, I was fascinated by comics. I started as an avid reader, but of course, over time, I wanted to draw something myself. My boyhood dream was for my comics to be published somewhere. That dream came true later, so almost everything I've drawn so far (both in terms of comics and in terms of illustrations) has been published in newspapers and magazines, so that children and adults alike can read those comics to my and – I hope – their satisfaction.
As soon as I became a teacher, I thought about how to pass on my love for comics to students and how to apply comics in teaching. It is known that children have a strong desire to create and it would be a great pity if this desire to express themselves through drawings is not used in a modern school. Curricula have been set, but the way in which I will approach their realization is not, so I choose the way—it depends on how I will bring the contents closer to the students. I like to convey important messages to children through comics and play because it is close to them and significantly increases their participation in the teaching process. Students remember the classes in which they participate, they enjoy them.
The comic in the classroom resembles a game, fun, but in fact, it enables the learning contents offered to be learned faster and remembered longer through a combination of text and drawings, in an effective and efficient way. We make comics with students in classes of native language, art culture, in classes of free activities, within comic workshops, on different topics: ecology, children's rights, according to fairy tales, fables, based on texts by well-known children's writers, or grammatical content that students learn much easier through comics than when they are taught in the classical, old-fashioned way.
Communicating information in the traditional way (oral presentation by teachers) is too uniform and dull for students. However, if we offer the same information through comics, children will adopt it much easier and keep it in their memory longer.
Comics enrich children in a fun way because precious life messages are unobtrusively conveyed through comics.
The use of comics and comic material in the school process also encourages creativity in students – over time, they illustrate and draw comics themselves based on what they have read. In this way, they enrich and refresh the teaching, because they create original teaching aids, which the teacher can use efficiently in his future work.
When I was declared one of the best educators in Serbia, I used the monetary part of the award to print a collection of children's and my own educational comics, entitled ''Let me draw it out for you!''. In this way, I found myself in the same book as my students. In the introductory part if this collection, I wrote about the wide range of possibilities of using comics and comic material in the teaching process and supported it with appropriate examples, followed by student and my coloured comics. The book also contains student comics what won first places at national and international art competitions, and some of them were exhibited at the 20th Balkan Festival of Young Comic Authors, among the works from authors from around the world. The collection ''Let me draw it out for you!'' was created in teaching, but it is also intended for teaching, so I believe that it will serve as useful literature and as a teaching tool in working with future generations of students. In the desire for the book of educational comics to reach as many readers as possible, I gave copies to students, colleagues in Vranje and Serbia, the city library, libraries of schools, kindergartens.
I do not want to enrich myself, but the readers! Of course, comics are not almighty, but the effects of its application in teaching are undoubtedly great. It can be used in almost all subjects, and it has numerous and diverse effects on children. It does not require large investments, nor expensive technical devices in interpretation, but only the good will and talent of the cartoonist (talent is not crucial either, because it is possible to use other people's suitable achievements). That is why we should try to get the comic out of the shadow of more expensive, but certainly not more powerful teaching aids as soon as possible.
What do you think about the digitalization of the education system?
Although I constantly follow modern trends and achieve notable results in the field of digitalization, I am still in favour of the moderate use of technology in teaching.
Modern technology, as a mediator between students and teachers, will never succeed in replacing the warmth of human contact and the beauty of the interaction of children and teachers in the classroom.
I think that the most important thing in teaching is the idea. An idea from the head of a creative teacher can overcome and outlive all technological wonders. My students and I give great contribution to the successes and promotion of our school and we are showing everyone that for top achievements, expensive teaching technology is not needed, only enough people with an idea, who use pencil and paper to create something valuable out of nothing.
What are your plans for the future?
Creativity is the highest range of knowledge and that is why I will constantly encourage my students to create in the future, in order to experience the beauty of creation. Of course, I will motivate them by personal example. Without creative and versatile teachers, there are no versatile and creative students. A mentor is very important for every student, someone who encourages him and strengthens his will to persevere. In the beginning, I provide more significant help to students in their work—I lead them and 'hold their hand', but over time, they become independent and then I let them 'walk alone'. Schools are full of talented students, you just need to discover them and work patiently to nurture and hone their talents.
So far, my students have won numerous first places in national and international competitions with comics, which I consider to be my success and recognition for successful mentoring work.
I tell children to work persistently and with love because only through love we do sublime deeds. In my opinion, art is everything that man creates out of love, and not out of greed. Money loses value over time anyway, and human deeds last!

The first week has wrapped up on Kendall and Dad staying home together. I have learned a few things so far, some of them were surprising, funny, disgusting, frustrating, and heart breaking. Since you are reading this I have survived this week and more importantly so did Kendall. Here are some of the lessons I have learned so far.
1. Kendall is the BOSS. She runs the house and she runs Daddy.
2. Baby clothes have buttons that are not designed for Dads to use.
4. Dealing with a BLOWN OUT DIAPER is much easier with 2 people.
5. If Kendall is wearing a purple onesie or sleeper, she will get poop on it.
6. If Kendall is crying because she wants to eat, the dogs are barking to go outside.
7. When you bring Kendall to the store, old women will stop you and talk for a minimum of 7 1/2 minutes.
8. If I get a good nights sleep, Kendall sleeps all day. If I get crappy sleep, Kendall plays all day.
9. Everything I do from the hours of All Day- All Day involves singing and baby voices.
11. If the outfit is cute, Kendall will Puke.
12. No matter how tired, how frusterated, or cranky I may be, all it takes is for Kendall to grab my finger, grin at me or make a coo and it all goes away.
13. It is going to be really hard to ever go back to work and leave her.

After over 30 years, Soundview Health Center is gone
By David Cruz
The Soundview Health Center has officially closed, and you can thank this man.
Goodbye Pedro, hello new health care provider.
Pedro Espada's Soundview Health Center is now in new hands.
Staffers for The Institute for Family Health are already erasing any trace of the once thriving center at 731 White Plains Road, now named the Stevenson Family Health Center after neighboring Stevenson Commons.
A spokeswoman with the Manhattan-based healthcare group said no board members of the Soundview clinic will sit on the institute's board, though staffers can re-apply for their old jobs once the clinic is up and running.
But even as they file paperwork with federal and state agencies, the Institute moved in the last week of June after Soundview gave up its lease, and began $2 million in renovation work.
The Institute will also be managed by a familiar face – Dr. Neil Calman, a founding member of the Soundview Health Center.
"I'm thrilled to be coming back to Soundview, where 30 years ago as a young physician, I learned to practice community medicine," said Dr. Calman.
He said his group has possession of the building and is renovating it while "we're working very closely with the state Health Department in meeting the requirements. I don't think there's any chance it's not going to get approved.
Rachel Fasciani, Soundview's spokeswoman called Dr. Calman's involvement a positive move.
"He understands the needs of the community and we believe the institute's takeover is in the best interest of the patients," she said.
Dr. Calman left the clinic in 1984 to help found The Institute for Family Health, which has five clinics in predominanatly low-income Bronx areas.
This is not the first time the Institute has stepped in to take over struggling health facilities. In 2010, it opened a Family Health Center in Harlem after North General Hospital shut down. But it's also in the expansion business, adding a new wing to its Walton Family Health Center on 177th Street and Walton Avenue in the Bronx. It recently opened a new Department of Family Medicine in Mount Sinai School.
The Soundview Health Center was a staple in the neighborhood for over 30 years, servicing 20,000 patients yearly. It's troubles began when state investigators discovered Espada stole nearly $500,000 from the clinic to fund a lavish lifestyle that included vacations, birthday parties and expensive sushi.
The clinic slowly deteriorated over the last three months after the state Department of Health cut off Medicaid reimbursements.
Espada, awaiting a second trial for federal tax evasion, has maintained the state has a "political vendetta" against him for leading a coup against state government in 2009.
Between the application process and renovations, it is unclear when the doors to the center will open.
Bill Schwarz, state Department of Health spokesman said the agency would not put a time stamp on the opening since finalizing approval or disapproval of an application vary. "Once the review is complete we'll inform the necessary parties," he said.
Patient records, abandoned by Soundview, will be integrated into the institute's patient database, said Dr. Calman. Dental and mental health care services will be added later.

Seymour Rexite (January 18, 1914 – October 14, 2002), originally Shayele Rechtzeit, was a Polish American singer and actor. He was a significant figure in Yiddish theatre in the United States, and with his wife Miriam Kressyn he performed on the radio over four decades, performing pop standards in Yiddish. He also served as the last president of the Hebrew Actors' Union.

Born in Piotrków Trybunalski, Congress Poland, and a child prodigy, Rexite immigrated to the United States in 1920, along with his father, a cantor, and his older brother Jack Rechtzeit, an actor and songwriter. Several years later, immigration quotas prevented Rexite's mother and other siblings from emigrating from Poland, so Rexite sang a song, which his brother Jack had composed, before President Calvin Coolidge which so moved that he granted them entry visas.

At age 13, he took over the lead in the Yiddish musical The Rabbi's Melody when 30-year-old Ludwig Satz left to play in Potash and Perlmutter on Broadway. Unlike Satz, who had been a grown man playing a teenage boy, he was the actual age of the character. He later starred in The Song of the Ghetto at a theatre on Second Avenue in the Yiddish Theater District opposite the famous soprano Isa Kremer. He first appeared on the radio, singing in Yiddish, in 1927. In the 1930s he flirted with crossover success, performing with The Dorsey Brothers in late-night shows at Billy Rose's Casino de Paree, but decided to focus on the Yiddish-language side of his career.

He married Miriam Kressyn, another star of the Yiddish stage, in 1943. The two had a long-running radio program on WEVD radio, performing Yiddish translations of pop music standards (largely their own translations of everything from Irving Berlin to Man of La Mancha) as well as songs written in his native language.

Kressyn died at age 86 in 1996; they had no children. Rexite died in 2002 in New York City. The couple is buried under the family name Rechtzeit in Block 67 of Mount Hebron Cemetery.

Once a task has been created, it can be made to recur based on a recurring pattern. Each person that has been 'Shared' into the task will also see the recurring task should it be selected as 'Is Private'.
Set up a Recurring Task
Open the task dialogue and click on the recurring control as shown in the image below.
The recurring pattern dialogue opens as shown below;
Initially, the start and end dates will have the same date as the task. Ideally, the task you are about to recur will be the first one in the series although it is not essential. Recur pattern start dates can be set for dates in the past, present or future.
Start / End Dates
The start and end dates represent the period of time that a recurring task will repeat. The start date can usually remain the same as the task date. The end date is the last date a recurring task will be created.
Max Occur
If you were to put a start date of 1st January and an end date of 31st December but set the Max Occur to 6, only the first 6 recurring tasks would be created. All potential tasks between those dates will be ignored after the first 6 had been created.
Set Infinity
Setting this flag allows the task to recur continuously. The Max Occur option is no longer active when the 'Set Infinity' flag is set. Also, the End date will be greyed out and inactive.
Week / Month / Year
Selecting one of these radio buttons allows various patterns based on that particular period. Using the above example set to 'Week' we have options to say every 'x' weeks and on which day(s)
E.G. setting 'Recur every' to the value 2 and setting the Monday and Wednesday flags will create a new task every 2 weeks on Mondays and Wednesdays.
The month option allows a similar function. The task can be made to recur on the same date each month or by setting the 'of every' value to 3, then a new task would be created on the same date every 3 months.
Example of the Month Option
The below image shows the month option with 'Set Infinity' selected.
Example of the Year Option
Once the dialogue for recurring pattern has been saved, the task will then recur based on the pattern selected.
Within the Task dialogue, the recur option will then show a red tick next to the control to indicate that this task has a recur feature selected.

Q: When someone uses threats to compel someone else to do something, how do you describe it? When someone uses threats to compel someone else to do something, how do you describe it?
Specifically, what preposition should I use, should I use an article in the expression under the threat of death/eviction etc.? It sounds okay to me, I see nothing wrong with it, but Google News results don't seem reassuring.

A: The legal term is "extortion", or the related verb "extort"
If the threat is to reveal a secret, the term is blackmail.

The gangster extorted $1000 by threatening to set fire to the property.
Jim was blackmailed by an ex-employee, who threatened to reveal the company's history of tax evasion.

Both extortion and blackmail are crimes.
"Under the treat of death" is okay, but consider:

He fled the country under the treat of death.
He fled the country after receiving death-threats.

In most cases, a bad credit history may be beyond the control of a borrower, for instance late payments. However, this does not mean that the borrower is always going to default on their loan repayments. Search causes of a bad credit history do not damper the borrower of repayment capacity and some lenders have recognized this factor, thus introducing a loan product by the name unsecured loans bad credit for such borrowers. In the case of unsecured loans credit bad not ask the borrower calendar Thu, to avail to asset as security against the loan being offered. The lenders rely on the borrower's search profiles, evaluated through the information as their employment history, income level, final payment on any previous loans, recommendations and so forth to give out the required loan amounts.


Concession options at the upcoming Milwaukee Bucks arena are taking shape, and the venue will be putting a significant emphasis on local fare.
With the beginning of the 2018-19 NBA season drawing closer, the Bucks are making plans for the offerings at their new downtown Milwaukee arena. That includes its food and beverages options, as the new Bucks arena concessions will serve a broad menu that places a heavy emphasis on local offerings.
The Bucks didn't seek a financial commitment from any of the local companies, said Justin Green, vice president for hospitality.
The new Bucks arena will make its NBA debut this fall, and will be the only new venue to open in the league for the 2018-19 season. It is being constructed as part of a larger downtown development project, which will eventually include an entertainment district opening in 2019.

Washington Case Update: Insurer Held to Fend for Itself with Regard to Defense of its Insured
From the Desk of Kyle Riley: When a third party pays for the representation of another party, there are ethical issues as to which party the attorney owes a duty. The Washington Supreme Court recently held that an attorney, hired by an insurer to represent a lender-insured, only had a duty to the insured unless the title company could establish it was an intended beneficiary of the legal representation.
The Court rejected the argument that the title company was the intended beneficiary of the representation simply because there was no conflict of interests between the title company and the lender. Moreover, the Court held that the engagement letter did not create a duty to the title company, even though it stated that the attorney would keep it informed of the progress in the case.
Claims Pointer: Insurers and their attorneys should be aware that an attorney representing the insured generally does not have a duty to an insurer unless the insurer is an intended beneficiary of the agreement. Thus, it is best for an insurer to obtain separate counsel to represent its interests in a claim, even when no conflicts in the representation exist. In the world of insurance defense, it's every man for himself.
Stewart Title Guar. Co. v Sterling Savings Bank, et al., NO. 87087-0 (Oct. 3, 2013).
Stewart Title Guaranty Company ("Stewart Title") hired Witherspoon, Kelley, Davenport & Toole, PS ("Witherspoon") to defend Sterling Savings Bank ("Sterling") from a claim regarding a lien priority on real property asserted by a construction company. The claim resolved in the construction company's favor; and Stewart Title sued Witherspoon for legal malpractice. Stewart Title claimed that Witherspoon had improperly failed to raise an equitable subrogation defense. Witherspoon responded that (1) it only owed a duty to its client, Sterling and (2) the defense would not have been successful anyway.
The trial court dismissed the malpractice action against Witherspoon by determining that the equitable subrogation defense would not have succeeded. However, the trial court rejected the argument that Witherspoon did not owe a duty to Stewart Title. The parties appealed.
The Supreme Court of Washington affirmed the trial court's ruling. Its reasoning, however, was different. The Supreme Court found that the trial court should have dismissed the case against Witherspoon based on a lack of duty to the third party-payor, Stewart Title. It held that (1) alignment of interests is insufficient to support a duty of care to a non-client and (2) a contractual duty to inform a non-client does not support a duty of care to such person.
In coming to its holding, the Court explained that of the factors considered when holding an attorney liable for malpractice to a third party, the most important consideration is the extent to which the representation was intended to benefit the third party.
The Court rejected the argument that as long as there was no conflict of interest, Stewart Title was an intended beneficiary. This rule would allow any third-party payor to become an intended beneficiary of a legal services contract, which would violate the Washington Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys.
Finally, the Court rejected the argument that Witherspoon's engagement letter, which stated that it would keep Stewart Title informed as to the progression of the case, somehow created a separate duty to Stewart Title. The Court noted that while an attorney hired to represent a client by a third party may generally have a duty to inform the third party, within the bounds of attorney-client privilege, the duty does not give rise to a broad duty of care that would support a malpractice claim, unless it can be shown that the representation was expressly intended to benefit the third party itself.
The Court decided the case on the issue of Witherspoon's lack of duty to Stewart Title. The Court declined to reach the issue of whether equitable subrogation would have proven to be a viable defense in the case.

Humans are evil enough. Let's just leave it at that.
A corporate troubleshoot named Lee Weathers (Kate Mara) is sent in to check out a new scientific experiment named Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy). Though Morgan may look, act and talk like a real human girl, the reality is that she's just a scientific specimen that was created to create some sort of super-being, in hopes of greater specimens to be made in the future. However, almost seemingly out of nowhere, Morgan stabs a fellow doctor (Jennifer Jason Leigh) in the eye, leaving everyone involved with the raising of Morgan to wonder just what the hell happened, where did it all go wrong, and how can it be fixed. That's why Weathers is here, to not only check out what went wrong, but also, how far gone just Morgan is, to the point of where it's time to destroy her and move on to the next science experiment that may make the world a better place. But being able to think for herself know more than ever and growing more special powers, Morgan isn't so happy about this and starts to act out in more dangerous, overly violent ways, leaving her creators to reconsider their creation.
Morgan feels like the kind of movie that was written in the 80's, left sitting on a shelf somewhere, collecting up all sorts of dust and spiders, until someone decided that they had officially run out of ideas from the 70's and had to get on with the next decade, so of course, it was the next option. Of course, I don't mean this as a particularly bad thing – Morgan is the kind of movie that has a retro-feel and vibe, yet, never gets to become "corny", or nostalgic". It's still modern enough to take place in the year 2016, yet at the same time, also feels like the kind of corny sci-fi film that's been made since the dawn of time.
Staring.
Which is to say that it's entertaining, yes, but that's about it.
And normally, I'd be perfectly fine with this. While a lot of people have been comparing this to Ex Machina, they've been forgetting that this movie doesn't entirely float on that movie's same radar; Machina is obviously way better, but it's also far more serious, dark, disturbing and further more, in-touch with certain issues about technology taking over the rest of society. Morgan seems like the kind of movie that may have had something interesting to say about this, but really, is a whole lot more concerned with killing people and watching as one character, after another, bites the dust in awesomely gory and intense ways.
Once again, is there anything wrong with that? Probably not. That's why, for a good portion of Morgan or so, it's at least an interesting watch, because of the sense of terror, doom and tension in the air that's there for a reason, but never gets going right away. We know that Morgan is bad and will eventually snap, but watching these characters, getting to know them, their location and most importantly, settling into these quarters, is still compelling to watch, if only because it takes its time to do small things that most blockbusters of this nature wouldn't dare bother with. Of course, this isn't saying that Morgan is a smart, or even well-written movie, but for a short while, it's the kind of sci-fi movie that takes it time, doesn't rush itself, and pays attention to certain things that probably matter in a movie like this and in order for it to work.
Then again, about halfway through, the movie does get crazy and, eventually, become something of an uninteresting bore.
Still staring.
Director Luke Scott seems like he had the perfect idea for setting this character and this plot up, but when push came to shove and it was eventually the time to start moving, he kind of lost his head. He gets way too bogged down in killing characters and doing so in gruesome ways, rather than actually trying to keep the momentum and intensity building up and up, until it eventually becomes almost too much for even the audience to handle. Most of this definitely comes from the fact that he doesn't really develop any of the characters, but it also has to do with it seeming like a rushed job on the final-half, where things continuously happen, but there's no real fun, joy, excitement, or connection to any of it.
Granted, this may be a case of me expecting more from a product than there probably needs to be, but hey, so be it. Morgan has a great cast and it seems like everyone came ready to play, but their material is so thin and so weak that after awhile, it's not hard to want to see everyone die. Mara is probably the most interesting character of the bunch, but after a short while, her character becomes so hilariously unenthused, that it can almost seem like a parody. Same goes for the fellow scientists who sit there, love and support Morgan, and who also can't seem to pull the trigger on it when the time comes around. These are the kinds of scientists that it's hard to believe in actually existing – the ones who love their experiments more than life itself and are more than willing to sacrifice the goodwill of the rest of society for it – but without them, who knows how many sci-fi movies we'd have around?
Especially ones like Morgan?
Consensus: Initially tense and interesting, the well-cast Morgan soon turns into a conventional sci-fi thriller that just gets rid of characters as a chore and doesn't quite know how to end next.
Well, not anymore. Maybe. Can't quite see past the Pete Wentz emo-cut.

Yeah it was pretty bad. I didn't even think the set-up was interesting. I fell asleep twice which is a bad sign for your thriller movie. And a lot of things don't make sense like why does Morgan know how to drive, why does she know martial arts etc.

In the 1999-2000 ABS Annual Report a special article was presented on Servicing Regional Data Requirements. The article described the increasing demand for statistical information on regional issues and set out a number of ABS initiatives to service these needs. These initiatives included:
creating more frequent regional indicators
providing new measures relevant to regional analysis. At that time there was particular emphasis on developing measures of income distribution in regions
providing statistical databases to allow for the measurement of the differential impacts and outcomes of government policies in regions
increasing access to regional statistics through publications, profiles and other services.
This article provides an update of the various initiatives in regional statistics including the provision of new statistics, new services to increase access to regional statistics and advances in statistical geography to assist regional analysis. This article also discusses the development of an Information Development Plan for regional and rural statistics which is aimed at better understanding and prioritising the requirements for regional data, identifying new sources of regional information, and developing partnerships with other data suppliers to be able to meet the identified needs.
Policy context
Regional issues continue to be high on the policy agenda for all levels of government. However the policy issues confronting, and in turn the information needs of, the different levels of government vary considerably.
At the national level the Australian Government's policy for regional Australia is articulated in its 2001 statement Stronger Regions: A Stronger Australia. The emphasis of the policy is on creating partnerships between government and communities which foster the development of self-reliant regions. This policy framework is built around four goals:
Strengthening regional economic and social opportunities
Sustaining our productive natural resources and environment
Delivering better regional services
Adjusting to economic, technological and government-induced change.
The policy framework encompasses management of the social and economic impact of structural change on communities; managing the social issues faced by regional communities and building their skills to cope with these; the improvement of business and investment to facilitate local economic growth and employment while being mindful of sustaining the environment; and the efficient and equitable delivery of regional services. A major policy theme underlying these goals is that of building community capacity and self-reliance.
Social objectives, particularly addressing socioeconomic disadvantage, feature strongly in the policy statement. The Australian Government's stated aim is that all Australians, regardless of where they live, have an opportunity to share in the social and economic benefits and opportunities that our societies create.
Regional issues are an important policy driver at state, territory and local government levels as well. These levels of government carry a major responsibility for regional economic and infrastructure development. Planning for regions is set in the larger context of state and territory development, and regional policy statements at this level therefore tend to be dominated by economic development imperatives, although social objectives are also prominent. Another particular focus for state, territory and local government is ensuring equity of access to services such as education, health, child care, sanitation and cultural facilities for regional communities.
Major information needs for regional policy
While the policy issues confronting the different levels of government are diverse, the major data requirements can be grouped within a number of broad themes derived from the policy concerns:
Economic indicators of the changing economic performance of regions over time. Data would include industry and business performance data, and employment/unemployment data etc.
Wellbeing indicators of social outcomes within regional communities. Data would include employment/unemployment, health, and household income data etc.
Target groups indicators of disadvantage for particular population groups such as Indigenous, youth, aged, single parents
Social capital indicators of community social interaction
Environment natural resource management and environmental degradation
In addition to these themes there are a number of specific information needs required by the different levels of government. In terms of equitable access to services, the issue of demand for, and access to, services in regions is important for local and state and territory governments, while equitable access to information communications technology for regional Australians is a particular focus for the Australian Government.
Information needs are not necessarily discrete but are often concerned with understanding the connections and interactions between the various themes. In general, the response of the ABS has been to improve data quality and availability at a broad level so that the data are capable of supporting and informing a number of inter-related information needs.
Recent ABS initiatives in regional statistics
Rural and Regional Statistics Information Development Plan
The ABS has commenced work on an Information Development Plan (IDP) for rural and regional statistics. An IDP is a framework that scopes the field of statistics in a given subject area no matter what their source, and which seeks to formally identify priorities for statistical development, and agree on roles in undertaking this development. The development of the Rural and Regional Statistics IDP involves consideration of the following questions:
What is the extent and nature of current data demand?
What is the extent and nature of current data supply?
What are the resultant statistical data gaps and development priorities?
Who should take responsibility for specific priorities?
In making recommendations for future statistical development, the IDP will incorporate an assessment of the overall feasibility of addressing specific information requirements and will take into account the priorities for new information identified from consultations held with stakeholder groups across Australia.
As a first step in the development of an IDP, the ABS has, in close consultation with the key stakeholders across the three tiers of government, produced a Rural and Regional Information Model. This describes the various ways in which a region may be defined and discusses in detail the nature and extent of current data demand and supply.
A strong degree of collaboration among data providers is a key factor in the development and subsequent implementation of the full IDP. While the ABS has, and will continue to have, a major role in the provision of regional data, it is recognised that other data providers have an important role to play, and indeed in some cases may be best placed to lead statistical development in a particular area. It is planned therefore that the recommendations made in the IDP will be developed and implemented collaboratively across agencies involved in the research and dissemination of regional data.
Providing new information on regions
In order to meet the significant data needs which have been identified, a number of projects have been undertaken to make new data sources available. While the majority of information collected by the ABS has traditionally been from surveys and censuses, for regional analysis the greatest improvements in the range of information available has come from administrative sources. These are the large datasets maintained by government departments as a function of carrying out their administrative responsibilities.
Obtaining information on the economic performance of regions is challenging as sources of industry data at regional level are scarce. By using Australian Taxation Office (ATO) business income tax data however, experimental estimates of business activity for regions (such as statistical divisions) have been produced. Standard tables include information such as the number of small businesses, expenses and profits, and a number of other business expense ratios. These regional business estimates have been welcomed by researchers as they inform to some degree, the state of business activity in regions. It is hoped to improve and continue this series using ATO Business Activity Statement data in future.
ABS regional employment estimates provide state and territory government agencies with important information on regional activity. The greatest needs of these agencies are for data to monitor the level of regional economic activity, to assist regional development, and the creation and monitoring of employment policies and programs. A criticism of current employment estimates however, has been that the regional information available from the Labour Force Survey has not been of sufficient quality to sustain meaningful regional analyses. Recognising this concern the ABS has introduced regional benchmarking as a way of improving the survey estimates.
With regard to providing information on regional wellbeing, and in particular understanding levels and sources of income in regions, the ABS has produced a range of statistics based on aggregated individual tax data sourced from the ATO. Estimates of income for wage and salary earners for different occupation groups at the statistical local area level have been published. This valuable series, which is now part of regular ABS output, provides a new measure of variations in wage and salaries and occupations across regions and over time. The ABS is currently developing regional estimates of total income using government cash benefits data sourced from the Department of Family and Community Services to add to the ATO information.
Social capital is a concept which can be measured in a variety of ways, particularly at the regional level. The ABS recently produced Information Paper: Measuring Social Capital - An Australian Framework and Indicators (cat. no. 1378.0) which will assist considerably in formalising and standardising measures of social capital. This is a growing area of research in regional studies, believed to be a critical element in the ability of regional communities to overcome challenges and a significant contributor to regional resilience.
To statistically support local regional policy at the state and territory government level, each ABS regional office maintains a unit dedicated to identifying, improving and disseminating the range of small area data relevant to their respective state or territory. The main focus of these units has been on the exploitation of the administrative holdings of government agencies. To date these projects have enabled the ABS to access a considerable range of administrative data much of which is now in the public domain through ABS outputs. These new data sources are made available through publications such as regional profiles and other products.
With respect to environmental issues, the ABS is currently examining the feasibility of producing regional information on natural resource management in the agricultural sector through the use of area based or land parcel surveying. This approach, if adopted, would allow for information to be produced for particular regions such as water catchments. Recently the ABS conducted a land management and salinity survey and a survey of water use by farmers as part of its agriculture statistics program. Results of the salinity survey were released for priority regions identified by the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality. Results of the survey of water use are yet to be published, however it is anticipated that they will be available at the statistical division level.
National Regional Profile - Making Regional Data Available and Accessible
The production of regional profiles for the states and territories was one of the first strategies used by the ABS to make regional indicator data available more frequently, using both ABS and non-ABS data sources. While these outputs have the flexibility to provide a reasonable statistical picture of specified regions, and remain in high demand, they are not developed in a consistent way across the whole country, and are somewhat different in the data items available from region to region. They do not enable a national comparison of regions on a consistent basis; an important requirement for many analyses of policy and program outcomes.
To facilitate such comparisons, and make small area data more accessible, the ABS released the National Regional Profile (cat. no. 1379.0.55.001) in 2004. The National Regional Profile (NRP) is an online suite of regional indicators available on the ABS web site. The profile provides data for a single year for standard Australian geographical regions, down to the statistical local area level.
In its initial deployment, the NRP contains regional indicators that are readily available for the whole of Australia such as population and other demographic variables, some headline economic indicators and, where possible, a selection of social and environmental data items. The intention is to update these indicators on an annual basis, continuing to include both ABS data and selected data sourced from external agencies.
Users of the NRP are able to select regions of interest using a pick-list or an interactive 'drill-down' map facility on the web site. For each area selected a fixed format report is provided comprising the available regional indicators. The NRP is now able to facilitate the consistent quantitative measurement, evaluation and comparison of the performance of regions.
It is anticipated that over time the NRP will be further enhanced and expanded with growth in the suite of indicators available. Future development of the NRP may also involve:
the inclusion of time-series data allowing users to monitor changes in particular variables over time
the incorporation of selected state and territory specific data (such as administrative data available only for selected jurisdictions)
functionality to allow users to build their own regional profiles (from a pick-list of indicators and areas).
In addition to the NRP, regional data from the Census of Population and Housing has also been made more accessible. Basic Community Profiles (BCPs) from the 2001 census were made available (free of charge) via the ABS web site for the first time. For the 2006 census it is planned to enhance this service to allow clients to more easily specify the data and the geography of interest, and to enable clients to transfer data to their own Geographical Information Systems (GIS). In the interim, access to the NRP and BCPs is now available from the same web page.
Together, the new BCP and NRP facilities are able to provide a comprehensive set of social and economic indicators for standard geographical regions.
Developments in statistical geography
To enable regional analysis it is essential to have appropriate area classifications that align with user needs. In this regard the ABS has made significant progress on a number of fronts.
Remoteness Classification
In 2001 the ABS introduced a new structure in its Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) - the Remoteness Structure. The Remoteness Structure is based on the Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA) developed by the then Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care and the National Centre for Social Applications of GIS. ARIA measures the remoteness of a point based on the physical road distance to the nearest Urban Centre (ASGC 1996) in each of a number of classes. The Remoteness Structure includes all Collection Districts (CDs), and therefore in aggregate, covers the whole of Australia.
The purpose of the Remoteness Structure is to classify CDs which share common characteristics of remoteness into broad geographical areas called Remoteness Areas. There are six Remoteness Areas in the structure:
Major Cities of Australia
Inner Regional Australia
Outer Regional Australia
Remote Australia
Very Remote Australia
The Remoteness Structure is now used for the production of standard ABS statistical output from population censuses and some ABS surveys. For the purposes of regional analysis, the Remoteness Structure has provided an additional framework on which to study regional characteristics. It is most suited to the analyses of changing patterns in the development and performance of broad regions across Australia.
Maximum geographical flexibility in the analysis of statistical data can be achieved with the use of geocoded data, that is, data linked to specific point locations on the earth's surface by latitude and longitude. Geocoding data offers users the means to define custom geographic regions on the basis of a spatial framework, which in contrast to frameworks based on administrative boundaries, will not be subject to change over time.
The power of geocoding lies in the fact that once a statistical unit has been allocated a latitude and longitude it can be coded to any geographic classification but, at the same time, remain independent of standard classifications. Records from surveys and censuses can be coded in this way, but in addition, records from administrative systems can also be geocoded. This greatly increases the value of administrative data for regional analysis as it allows the unambiguous allocation of records to areas.
In support of agencies and researchers wishing to take advantage of geocoding, Public Sector Mapping Agencies Australia Ltd released the Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF) in the first quarter of 2004. G-NAF uses the resources of a number of purpose-built address datasets to build a definitive address list for Australia that spatially codes these addresses. In addition, most of the major custodians of administrative data will be licensed users of G-NAF.
While geocoding provides significant flexibility in regional analysis, this flexibility has implications for the protection of individual or business confidentiality. For this reason the ABS will not use geocoding as the principal means of disseminating regional data. Instead, a new spatial unit known as the Mesh Block will be the basis of ABS dissemination of small area data, principally from the Census of Population and Housing, using G-NAF infrastructure as an enabling technology.
Mesh Blocks
The application of flexible geography to enhance regional analysis will be significantly improved by the introduction of Mesh Blocks at the 2006 census. The ABS released Information Paper: Mesh Blocks (cat. no. 1209.0) in March 2004 seeking public comment on the Mesh Block initiative. The paper proposes that Mesh Blocks, about one-fifth the size of the current CD, will become the basic building block of all statistical, political and administrative geography in Australia. To maintain confidentiality, significant limits will exist on the availability of data for individual Mesh Blocks. Mesh Blocks can, however, be aggregated within the limits imposed by confidentiality to form customised regions best suited to the needs of the individual user or analysis. The ABS will support Mesh Blocks with a comprehensive geographical coding infrastructure based on the G-NAF.
The critical success factor for Mesh Blocks is the extent to which they are embraced not only by users of statistics, but also by those responsible for administrative and operational boundaries within their own jurisdictions. If Mesh Blocks are widely adopted within administrative systems, the potential utility of administrative data holdings to inform regional analysis is greatly enhanced. While Mesh Blocks will inevitably require some compromise and will not be perfect for all applications, the design features must make them as suitable as possible for the maximum range of applications.
Standard outputs from the 2006 census will be based on the current geography, that is CDs, but after the 2006 census, experimental data will be available based on Mesh Blocks. For the 2011 census, Mesh Blocks will become the standard building block of the ASGC and CDs will be replaced by a new output unit, similar in size to a CD, but designed specifically for data output. Only very basic census data, such as number of dwellings and population counts, would be published at the Mesh Block level, but the full range of census data will be available for combinations of Mesh Blocks. It is likely that statistics from other collections which are closely linked to location, such as the Agriculture Census, could also be aggregated to Mesh Blocks.
In the meantime the ASGC continues to be maintained and enhanced. A key issue at present is the current trend towards local government amalgamations in some states, which has the potential to cause a break in the statistical time series, particularly where such changes involve the splitting of existing local government areas. In such cases it is often not possible to accurately allocate historical data to the respective parts of a local government area.
Since the last special article on regional statistics in the 1999-2000 Annual Report there has been, as evidenced above, a number of significant advances in increasing the volume, and improving the availability of regional information.
The ABS views the finalisation of the Information Development Plan as being a key element in providing the framework for further developing the range and quality of regional statistics. Integral to the Information Development Plan will be the identification of new sources of regional information. By its nature regional statistics are data intensive, and increasingly administrative data of government agencies at all levels, as opposed to ABS data collections, will be the source of regional information. In that context the role of the ABS will be to develop partnerships with, and assist, other data suppliers to make their information available. The ABS developments in respect of area classifications, geocoding, and Mesh Blocks, and their adoption by other data suppliers, will be the key to ensuring a consistent and flexible approach to the coding and presentation of regional information. Similarly, the ABS views the National Regional Profile as an excellent vehicle for the delivery of regional information, from any source, in a consistent and readily accessible means.
