The ash tree is the most common tree in the Kent Downs but in 2012, ash dieback (caused by the fungal pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) was discovered in the U.K., and the disease has rapidly spread. Ash dieback is untreatable and could see the demise of up to 98% of these trees over the next decade.
The Ash Project is a cultural response to ash dieback, asking how we might mark and celebrate ash trees. In 2018, The Ash Project is working in partnership with Whitstable Biennale to present a series of artists' walks. Curator Rose Thompson has devised four walks in collaboration with artists, encouraging different ways of looking at and exploring the landscape in Kent.
All of the walks are free and open to all to attend, but as spaces are limited, we recommend booking in advance – please follow the links below to book on each individual walk. Please note, each walk is at least two hours long and takes place through uneven countryside terrain.
For any queries, please email info@whitstablebiennale.com.

Breaking News: Heathrow Airport Re-Opened After Fire Aboard Boeing 787 "Dreamliner" Aircraft
A Boeing 787 "Dreamliner" aircraft operated by Ethiopian Airlines sits on the tarmac at Heathrow Airport near London after being sprayed with flame-retardant foam by firefighters. This photograph was extracted from a video by Sky News. To view the video and news report, please click on the photograph.
A fire was reported in the interior of a Boeing 787 "Dreamliner" aircraft operated by Ethiopian Airlines, forcing the temporary closing of Heathrow Airport near London.
The aircraft was parked in a remote area of the airport at the time when the fire started, which has since been extinguished. No passengers were aboard the aircraft at the time, and no casualties have been reported.
Both runways had been closed to commercial air traffic at Heathrow Airport, but the airport is now open again as of moments ago. Delays of up to seven hours are being reported for some flights; while other flights have reportedly been canceled.
Personnel from Boeing — the manufacturer of the "Dreamliner" — are reportedly at Heathrow Airport to investigate what exactly happened. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, although evidence of the fire can reportedly be seen externally in front of the tail fin.
Although the Civil Aviation Authority has no plans at this time to investigate this incident, it could potentially be a major setback for the aircraft, whose entire fleet was grounded worldwide back in January by the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States and its counterpart governmental organizations in other countries due to reported fires and other issues which plagued the "Dreamliner." Some airlines had voluntarily stopped operating their fleet of Boeing 787 aircraft before the grounding became mandatory. The grounding of the aircraft had since been lifted three months ago after the Federal Aviation Administration had approved a plan submitted by Boeing detailing how the problems were to be resolved in order for the aircraft to be deemed safe for commercial operations once again.
Meanwhile — in an apparently unrelated issue — a Boeing 787 "Dreamliner" aircraft operating as Thompson Airlines flight 126 traveling from England to Sanford, Florida in the United States has reportedly returned to Manchester Airport as the result of experiencing a technical issue during its flight. Upon its return, passengers had exited the aircraft, which is currently being inspected and investigated by engineers.
As asked back in December of 2012: should you avoid flying as a passenger on Boeing 787 aircraft in the future?

West Virginia Football
West Virginia Vs. Rutgers: Mountaineers Try To Bounce Back On The Road
West Virginia looks to recover from last week's loss on the road in New Jersey against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
By Aaron Hawley Oct 29, 2011, 9:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: West Virginia Vs. Rutgers: Mountaineers Try To Bounce Back On The Road
Who: Rutgers Scarlet Knights
When: 3:30pm, Saturday October 29th
Where: High Point Solutions Stadium, Piscataway, NJ
What to Watch For When The 'Eers Have the Ball: Whether quarterback Geno Smith is on his back or standing upright. Last week's loss to the blitz-heavy Syracuse Orange has given all Mountaineer opponents a look at WVU's glaring weakness: the offensive line. West Virginia looked completely overmatched last week and once Geno became more concerned with getting hit than making plays, the 'Eers were sunk. WVU was forced to run many of their late game plays from the diamond formation, which stacked protection in the backfield but limited Smith's targets downfield. The result was Geno trying to force plays that weren't there, often to disastrous results. West Virginia's offensive success today will ride on whether or not the Mountaineers can protect Smith long enough for him to find the open receiver. Geno has to avoid panicking and not force throws that aren't there for the 'Eers to succeed. Rutgers has a top ten defense, so it could be rough road ahead.
What to Watch For When The Scarlet Knights Have the Ball: Whether the Mountaineers can stuff the run and pressure the pass. WVU's defensive front hasn't managed to get the best of anyone so far this year and the end result is plenty of pocket time for passers and wide open holes for runners. Whenever the Mountaineers are stuck in third and short situations, the opposition has had success picking up the first down. WVU will have to make sure that wide receiver Mohamed Sanu stays in front of them or else they could find themselves playing from behind.
The Mountaineers Will Roll If: The offensive line can protect Geno Smith and move the chains on third down. Conversely, the defense will need to pressure the quarterback and get off the field on third down.
The Mountaineers Will Have Trouble If: The offensive line can't pick up the blitz and the defensive line can't get a push. The Mountaineers were beaten soundly in the trenches last weekend, a trend that could be disastrous for WVU if it continues.
Thing That Makes My Blood Boil: If the Mountaineers lose, and WVU fans continue to bend over backwards to find anybody to blame not named Dana Holgorsen. Last weekend's loss found the Orange rolling up forty plus points on the defense, but the anemic offense can be blamed for at least fifteen of those points. West Virginia struggled mightily to pick up first downs and the end result was a defense that was completely gassed by the fourth quarter. Amazingly though, despite absolute ugliness on offense, no one seems to think it was much of an issue and the calls for defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel's removal got a little louder. Personally, I think that's nuts. All units need play off of each other, and the defense will look tougher if the offense can put together a drive.

i tried to clean project it's not about it, is it about the plugins or the missing filesor libs?
i've keep getting this error:

Error:org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.DefaultTaskInputs$TaskInputUnionFileCollection cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.internal.file.collections.DefaultConfigurableFileCollection
Possible causes for this unexpected error include:
*
*Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
  Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
*The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem.
  Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)
*Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

Please help...

A: If you work on Android Studio 3.0. Change "2.0.0" to "3.0.0" in your project gradle :
buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
    }
}

In your gradle-wrapper.properties :
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

In your app gradle : "compile" become "implementation" :
dependencies {
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.0'
}

You should read that :

https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-plugin-3-0-0-migration.html

A: Android plugin 3.0.0 requires Gradle version 4.1 or higher. If you're opening an existing project using Android Studio 3.0 or later, follow the prompts to automatically update an existing project to the compatible version of Gradle.
To update Gradle manually, edit the URL in gradle-wrapper.properties to the following: distributionUrl=\https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip
And include the maven repo and change the plugin version in your project-level build.gradle file as follows:
buildscript {

        repositories {
            ...
            // You need to add the following repository to download the
            // new plugin.
            google()
        }

        dependencies {
            classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
        }
    }

Russia Mourns Victims of Subway Bombings
Incidents » Terrorism
Moscow is mourning the victims of the terrorist acts in the metro on March 30. The bombings on two central stations – Lubyanka and Park Kultury – killed 39 people. Over 70 people have been hospitalized, five remain in critical condition.
Flags have flown at half mast in Moscow, all entertaining events and programs on TV channels and radio stations have been canceled.
Muscovites and guests of Moscow continue bringing flowers to the two stations in memory of the victims of the bombings.
Medics say that some of those, who refused from hospitalization yesterday, will ask for medical help during the next several days.
The first explosion took place at Lubyanka at 07:57 a.m. The second one occurred at 08.37 at Park Kultury.
Alexander Bortnikov, the Director of the Federal Security Bureau, said that the acts were most likely organized by a terrorist group from the Northern Caucasus.
President Dmitry Medvedev stated that the organizers of the explosions would be found and eliminated.
Employees of the Moscow metro put up a special desk in the center of the Lubyanka station on which people can lay their flowers.
Metro passengers using Lubyanka today can still see vestiges of yesterday's tragedy: fragments of broken glass on the railway tracks, marble walls damaged with the explosion and large black spots on the ceiling of the station.
Passengers lay tulips and carnations near the edge of the platform. Someone left a small Orthodox icon in memory of the victims.
The explosion at the Park Kultury station was less powerful, and the station itself suffered minor damage. People started bringing flowers to the station on Monday night. Many brought candles, although it is not allowed to light them for safety reasons.
Many of those, who had to use the metro soon after the stations were reopened yesterday, said that there were a few people traveling in the trains. The passenger traffic on the Red Line of the metro became usual already in the evening when people were returning home from work.

This page aims to help you remove .Suspended Ransomware for free. Our instructions also cover how any .Suspended file can be recovered.
Blocking the victims' access to their most valuable files is what a very dangerous type of malware, called .Suspended is known to do. This type of malware is a typical Ransomware, which demands from its victims a ransom payment if they want to regain their access to the locked data on their PC's. Otherwise, the malware threatens to keep everything blocked forever with the help of a secret encryption. If your system has been attacked and a scary ransom message has been placed on your screen, you probably are desperately looking for a solution on how to remove this virus and save your data. Fortunately, you are lucky to have found our article because here, we will do our best to offer you some helpful solutions, which may help you deal with .Suspended Ransomware. You should know, though, that Ransomware is a terrible threat, which is extremely difficult to deal with and even some of the reputed security professionals may sometimes find it challenging to remove such infection and restore the files, captured by its encryption. That's why we recommend you to carefully familiarize yourself with the specifics of the Ransomware and use the help of the professional .Suspended removal tool on this page and the manual Removal Guide to eliminate the infection.
The best way to protect your computer from infections like .Suspended and their nasty consequences is to ensure such malware never enters your system. For this, you should try to avoid all the possible sources of Ransomware, which could, unfortunately, be numerous.
Emails from unknown senders and messages that appear as spam are some of the most probable transmitters. Curious/tempting attachments, installers, and files, which may come via email or social engineering pop-ups, may also result in an encounter with a malware transmitter. Different sketchy links, ads, pop-ups, and notifications that come out of the blue are also not to be trusted. Stay alert for other threats such as Trojans, because contamination with them may also deliver a Ransomware like .Suspended on your PC. Ensure your system is updated regularly and run frequent scans with your antivirus for optimal protection.
Once a full scan is done, it will detect a list of targeted files and encrypt them one by one with a very complex algorithm.
It will threaten you and harass you in various ways in order to make you carry out the ransom payment sooner.
The whole idea behind all these actions is blackmailing/money extortion. The criminals rely on surprise and frustration in order to make their victims pay the ransom as fast as possible. In exchange, they promise to send a decryption key, which they claim will be able to bring the affected files back to normal. However, is paying ransom to some cyber criminals a good solution? Let's see.
What should you do if .Suspended Ransomware has encrypted your files?
Fear and frustration are never good advisors when you have to deal with Ransomware. Many reputed security experts, including our "How to remove" team, strongly advise all the victims of .Suspended to avoid making impulsive decisions and paying ransom to the criminals. Such course of action not only makes the hackers richer but it will in no way can guarantee the successful recovery of the encrypted files. That's why paying right away is the worst trap you may fall in. Trying to remain calm and exploring other alternatives, however, may help you come up with better solutions. Indeed, if we have to be completely honest with you, there is no single and a 100% efficient method to deal with the Ransomware infection. Your files may remain encrypted even if you manage to remove .Suspended and for this reason, it is really difficult to advise you on what exactly to do.
However, if you eliminate the malware, you will surely do a favor to your system, which can never be safe while a nasty file-encrypting virus is still active in it. The instructions in the Removal Guide below may be of great help when it comes to detecting and removing .Suspended. You can also use the professional .Suspended removal tool for a more in-deep scan. There are also some free file-restoration solutions included that might potentially help you. Bear in mind though, that no guarantee can be given for the future of your data. You just need to explore the available options and see for yourself what works best.

First African American officer promoted to captain
Little Rock, Arkansas – In a first for the police department, the North Little Rock Police Department promoted an African American officer to the rank of Captain.
The North Little Rock Justice Center served as the location for Officer Ron Messer's promotion ceremony.
Captain is the highest attainable level behind Chief and Assistant Chief of Police, and Messer holds the distinction of being the first African American officer to be elevated to that rank within the NLRPD.
"Well I'm feeling great to know that I'm a part of something bigger than myself. It's a great opportunity for me and for people like me to be able to see that they can do whatever they set their minds to," he said.
"I've worked with him for a very long time, and I'm very proud of him and I'm very confident in his abilities," said NLRPD Police Chief Patrick Thessing. "And to have him onboard as command staff, it's pretty awesome. I'm excited."
In 1997, Messer started working for the NLRPD. He has spent his 25 years of service in the patrol, narcotics, and school resource officer divisions.
The celebratory promotion ceremony was attended by a large portion of Captain Messer's family, who expressed their pride in him.
"Being the first African American to be promoted to captain is just the cherry on top," Annette Ireland, Messer's sister, said. "He's a hard worker and he's so deserving. He's committed and passionate about his work, his commitment to the citizens of North Little Rock. And we're extremely proud."
Only one more remarkable accomplishment has to be decided: will Messer run for police chief?
"I was seeing retirement in a few years, but I may have to reevaluate that. I think I may stick around for a while," Messer said.
Jhailen Rathey, another African American officer, received his promotion to Sergeant during the ceremony.

1.Against an infodemic: Good health communication is key to public health
The Covid pandemic has underscored that effective communication is at the heart of winning any public health challenge. For example, almost as important as the decision to increase the Covishield dosing gap to 12-16 weeks is the work of reassuring citizens that this is protective and so were the four-weekly jabs, and afterwards everyone has to stay masked up. Authorities aren't just fighting Covid-related morbidities, there is also an infodemic cutting both ways: Awareness and misinformation.
Social media is awash with treatment protocols based on prescriptions from doctors to their patients. These aren't universal or sanction for self-medication. Yet countless cases of patients self-administering steroids prematurely have surfaced. Fake remedies flooding WhatsApp are just as insidious. Even the US is struggling with effective communication: The latest CDC guidelines to drop masking for those fully vaccinated come barely two weeks after advising against it in crowded spaces. Health communication was instrumental in frustrating HIV-AIDS spread. But to date Covid is being considered just another "fever" by many rural Indians struggling against it. Bridging this unacceptable information divide is essential.
With rampant infections, Indians need more clear and persuasive guidance. Confusion among doctors on convalescent plasma has pushed families of patients to hellish exhaustion. Doctors' forums like IMA could have averted this mess. Convincing a large society to undertake collective preventive measures requires sustained public interventions. The daily press briefings by Union health ministry and ICMR officials, which helped disseminate key information at the pandemic's start in March-April 2020, must restart. Science is constantly learning and updating itself as it tracks the fast-evolving virus and authorities are grappling with unprecedented uncertainties in this process. But bringing citizens and all stakeholders aboard their decisions is crucial for achieving the desired health outcomes.
2.Women say no: To family virtues of the Chinese nation
Beneath China's rise in recent decades lies a potential time-bomb for Beijing itself: A falling birth rate. The country's population is currently growing at its slowest pace since the 1960s. So, from ruthlessly controlling births Chinese leaders today are fretting over a greying workforce. And as with the old so with the new, the brunt of population policies is borne by Chinese women. Only, unlike in the past, many of them are ignoring the communist party diktats.
Buoyed by their economic empowerment but in a society with a serious gender skew, many Chinese women are defying traditional notions of marriage or repudiating the institution altogether. Even notions of the family are changing with affluent Chinese single women choosing to have IVF pregnancies abroad – not the kind of births the state encourages.
In the 1960s Mao Zedong proclaimed that women hold up half the sky. Then followed the disastrous one-child policy.These days President Xi Jinping says that women should take care of the elderly, educate the children, and uphold "family virtues of the Chinese nation". This 180-degree turn illustrates how deep-rooted patriarchal mores continue to undermine women's autonomy. That Chinese authorities have also cracked down on feminist groups in recent years further shows their discomfort with women's economic progress when it doesn't serve patriarchal political objectives. But for all societies today, the future lies in reforming gender roles rather than seeking a return to atavistic pasts. Today's women just won't accept that.
3.Review the Char Dham project
From the very start, the Char Dham project has bypassed several legal requirements (including the mandatory environmental impact assessment); there have been several flip-flops by the ministries involved, and warnings by several green activists, scientists and geologists have gone unheeded. The Himalayas are a fragile region. The government must rethink and consider all perspectives before pushing though the 900-km all-weather project in the name of national security.
A spate of cloudburst-type events and heavy rainfall in Uttarakhand since May 3 — the latest one happened on May 11 in Tehri Garhwal district — once again highlights the vulnerability of the region and the dangers of continuing with the Char Dham project. The cloudburst events have caused extensive damage to the route. And environmen-talists and geologists have warned that any further hill-cutting in the pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons to widen the existing highway will aggravate risks of landslides and other disasters. More rain is expected over the western Himalayan region. Scientists have also warned that the series of cloudbursts may have happened because March, April and May have been warmer than normal, a plausible impact of the climate crisis.
Yet, the Centre seems to be in a hurry to work on the road-widening project, citing "national security" as a compelling reason, even though the road has been motorable since 1962 and only three of the five roads are "feeder roads" to the border and not border roads. Hearing the road-widening case, the Supreme Court (SC) in September, 2020, directed that the width of the road be 5.5 metres, based on the 2018 notification issued by the ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH) and the minority report of a 26-member High Powered Committee. The ministry of defence filed a separate application in November, 2020, asking the court to review its order and allow it to increase the road width to seven metres. Later, MoRTH partially amended its notification for three feeder routes of the project, and allowed the road width to be 10 metres. The case is due to be heard next week by SC's vacation bench. Environmentalists have demanded that the "intricate and complex" case should be heard by a regular bench and not a vacation bench since there's no urgency in the matter.


This is the display bezel for the 15" unibody Anti-Glare model of the SD slot mid 2009 range.
This product includes the necessary double sided tape to adhere it to the lid panel.
The anti-glare display assembly (661-5095) was a built to order item, so is not often seen. This bezel fits around the Matte LCD panel for this range.

A Victory Lap… For Patients.
We got the official news from our Accreditation and Recognition services division last week. In April, the 10,000th medical practice earned NCQA Recognition as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). The total number of PCMH sites now stands at 10,098.
Now, that might seem like an opportunity for a few around NCQA's Washington offices to do a victory lap. I assure you, they did.
But the real winners are patients.
That's why so many practices pursue this recognition. It's in the best interest of patients.
Clinicians improve their patients' access to care through expanded hours and electronic communication.
Patients form long-term partnerships with clinicians, not a series of sporadic, hurried visits.
Clinicians work as a team to coordinate care, especially for prevention and chronic conditions.
Medical homes coordinate other clinicians' care and community resources, as needed.
Patients participate in decisions about their care to get better results.
NCQA's PCMH recognition program started with 214 clinicians at 28 practices in 2008. There are now 48,617 recognized clinicians in 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
In the past two years, NCQA extended PCMH principles beyond primary care. In 2013, we added the Patient-Centered Specialty Practice (PCSP) recognition program. In just the past few weeks, we opened our Patient-Centered Connected Care™ program to providers such as retail clinics, worksite clinics, and school-based clinics.
You could see why some in our offices would do a victory lap. But it is patients—and their providers—scoring the wins here. We're just happy to celebrate along with them.

Q: Are there group plans that will cover my wife who is 12 weeks pregnant under my business?
A: Yes, when a small business group insurance plan starts, all full time employees and their dependents are immediately eligible for coverage regardless of pre-existing medical conditions or whether they previously had insurance. Group insurance plans are "guaranteed issue" which means that coverage cannot be denied to a business that meets the eligibility standards. This means that small group insurance is the likely solution if you wife needs coverage now.
1. Takeover coverage for pre-existing medical conditions like this pregnancy typically depends partly on prior insurance under federal HIPAA law. In addition, some pregnancy expenses are pro-rated over the term of the pregnancy. Others are mandated as immediately available under all circumstances. If your wife did not have prior insurance coverage, it may take some work to understand what is immediately covered under the new insurance plan. (These problems are avoided by maintaining continuous insurance coverage).
2. Businesses where the only employees are a husband and wife are treated under individual insurance laws and not small group insurance laws in some states.
3. Each insurance company may establish its own standards for an eligible business. Some require a certain length of time in business, a business license or evidence of a previous wage tax return as evidence of eligibility.
4. Employees have to work 30 hours per week to be eligible for group health insurance in many states. This is verified through a wage tax report.
5. Supplemental group health insurance plans at MedSave.com like Core Health Insurance, Basic Health Insurance and Value Benefit Plans are immediately available in your situation, but you should resolve the primary coverage issue first. MedSave.com does not handle small business group major medical policies because these do not fall into the category of low cost health insurance. In fact, these are among the highest priced health insurance plans. Individual major medical insurance plans are not available during a pregnancy.


This page includes information on general Frequently Asked Questions only.
One-off legal advice and Duty lawyer services are free of charge.
If you need ongoing legal representation you will need to apply for a grant of legal assistance. If you are successful in your grant of legal application you will need to pay a contribution fee. The standard contribution fee is $120. If you are experiencing severe financial hardship this contribution fee can be waived. The contribution fee can also be waived for certain legal problems such as family violence.
For more information on applying for a grant of legal assistance, see Applying for Legal Aid.
Is personal information kept confidential?
We keep your personal information confidential, and we keep the legal advice you get from us confidential. We may only disclose your personal information with your consent, or if we are required to do so by law.
I've been told you cannot represent me because there is a 'conflict of interest'. What does this mean?
A 'conflict of interest' is an ethical dilemma. For example, it would be a conflict of interest, and unethical, for a law firm to represent both sides in a case. Law firms owe a duty of loyalty to their clients to act in each client's best interests. This duty cannot be carried out if a law firm represents more than one party in a dispute. It would mean that the lawyers representing each of the parties could access information about the other party, and use that information against the other party. This would be a breach of the duty of loyalty, and unjust.
When someone makes an appointment to see us we check to see if they, or the other party in a dispute, have seen us previously. Where both parties to a dispute apply for a grant of legal assistance and both are eligible, a Legal Aid ACT lawyer may represent one party, and the other party will be referred to a private lawyer whose fees are be paid by Legal Aid ACT. In this way rights and interests of both parties are protected.
If the other party is assisted by Legal Aid ACT does this mean I can't get legal aid?
If you need an interpreter, let us know when you contact us. When we give you legal information or legal advice, we can arrange an interpreter for free.
If you are going to court and need an interpreter, ask your legal aid lawyer to arrange one. In many cases this will also be free.
What if I have a hearing or speech problem?
If you have a hearing or speech problem you can access our services via the National Relay Service.
What can I expect from Legal Aid ACT?
You can expect our staff to observe the highest standards of ethical and professional behaviour. Our lawyers, and private lawyers paid by us, are required to comply with their professional and legal obligations as legal practitioners.
We provide a respectful, courteous service and listen to your concerns. We will give you with information about the services we offer. We provide a safe environment for you. We respect your privacy and you can have access to your personal information.
We will be impartial and open with you in assessing your enquiry or case, and provide a realistic assessment of it. We will give you accurate information within a reasonable time. You will be advised on the progress of your case or enquiry.
When your legal matter is completed, we will inform you in writing about anything you need to do and what is likely to happen.
I've been referred to a private lawyer - does this mean I can't apply for legal aid?
If you are referred to a private lawyer it may be because Legal Aid ACT has a conflict of interest, or because we do not have the capacity to take on more cases at that time. In either situation, if you are eligible for a grant of assistance, we will provide a lawyer to represent you and pay that lawyer's costs.
Who is eligible for legal aid?
Anyone may apply for a grant of legal assistance, but to be eligible you must satisfy three tests. First you must satisfy an income and assets test. This means that your income and assets must be below prescribed limits. Second, your case must satisfy a merit or reasonableness test. This test involves an assessment of whether it is reasonable in the circumstances to grant assistance, including whether your case is likely to succeed. Finally, your case must come within the guidelines on the types of cases that Legal Aid ACT can assist. For more information on the eligibility tests see Funding Cases.
I live in NSW and there is no Legal Aid office where I live - where do I apply?
If you live in NSW and you want help with a NSW matter please contact Legal Aid NSW.
If it is a matter in an ACT court or tribunal please contact us.


It is the dream of many people to walk out of work and embark on a new career as a professional poker player. Although this is a difficult career to get into, it's not impossible. With the right amount of dedication and practice, it's actually a lot more feasible to become a professional poker player than ever before. However, although the ubiquity of potential ways to gamble means that you will never struggle to find a game, the fact is that only 10 percent of poker players are considered to be long-term earners. Overestimating your skill level and failing to recognize your own limitations is the biggest failing of those attempting to become pros, but these three tips might make the difference to your dream of being the next long-earning high roller.
Your first task should always be to work out how good you are. You might win every hand when you're playing with your friends in a friendly home tournament, but playing against professionals is a very different matter. You need to objectively assess your skill level before you start considering handing in your notice at work! The best way to do this is by practising in a more professional environment. It could mean playing for money in a real-world casino or playing online. With so many online casinos, and some even allow you to play and collect winnings in the form of Bitcoins, including Games Bitcoin, you aren't going to struggle to find a venue. Play against professionals, and you'll have a much better awareness of just how good you are.
If you're thinking of exploring poker as a career option, then you should always make an effort to keep a reliable record book of your progress. Professional poker playing is a job, and you will want to keep a record of your winnings and losses so that you have much greater control over what you can risk and what you can't. Having a record of your take will help you to decide if you can afford to become a professional. If your earnings never outweigh your losses, then your annual wage is not going to be good enough to play cards for a living. Your record book will help you make a more realistic decision.
If you're losing, then it's time to walk away from the table. That's the mark of difference between the professional and the amateur. Players who borrow at the table in the hope of recouping some of their losses are decidedly amateur. Knowing when to walk away, even after a losing streak, is the mark of someone who has control over their game, and these players are far more likely to make the transition to professional poker players. It's also worth noting that professionals also know when to walk away even when they're winning. If you don't yet know when those times are, the chances are that you need more time practising at the tables.
Becoming a professional at anything will take hours of practice. Take the time to learn the nuances of every game, and your dreams of being at the high table with a bankroll you can afford to risk will become much more likely.

Margaret River's pioneer spirit
Peter ForrestalNews Corp Australia
IT IS 40 years since UWA agronomist Dr John Gladstones had a milestone letter published in which he outlined why he believed that Busselton or Margaret River was suitable for viticulture.
And now one of the region's pioneers, Dr Tom Cullity, has been recognised for his outstanding contribution by being awarded the prestigious Jack Mann Medal.
In establishing Vasse Felix in 1967 as the Margaret River region's first vineyard and winery, Cullity was the driving force who pioneered the development of viticulture in what has become one of Australia's greatest wine areas.
He credits Dr Bert Adderley with increasing his interest in wine by giving him a book on German wines, which influenced him to visit the wineries of the Rhine on a trip to Europe in 1961.
Cullity remembers tasting a 1959 Schloss Johannisberg in the cellars and the "whole room filled with flowers". When he followed this up with a visit to Bordeaux, he thought "This is living".
His first venture into growing vines came in 1964 when he planted half an acre of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz on his brother-in-law, Frank Wilson's farm, at Burekup, northeast of Bunbury.
When his brother drew his attention to Dr Gladstones' paper in 1966, Tom Cullity became interested in going further south because he remembered a shiraz from grapes grown at Boyanup by Duces (made by Jack Mann), and was able to call on the personal friendship of Bill Jamieson and Mann for advice.
Cullity was given enormous support by locals such as the Cullens, the Junipers, the Minchins and "a widening circle of people who were prepared to tolerate a relatively eccentric idea".
He spent a year digging holes around the district searching for an ideal site for Vasse Felix.
Helped by Kevin Cullen, he purchased 11ha at Wilyabrup over three years at an average price of $150 a hectare. In the early days, the medico would visit his vineyard once a fortnight, leaving Perth at 3am on Saturday and returning at midnight on Sunday.
Cullity was a lover of wine who was driven by a determination to produce world-class wine – views shared by the other early pioneers such as the Pannells, the Cullens and the Hohnens. It was this focus that helped shape the Margaret River wine region.
At Vasse Felix, Cullity made many great wines – such as the gold-medal 1972 riesling and the stunningly good 1979 cabernet sauvignon – the quality of which is credited with luring others south.
As Wine Press Club president Tony Devitt said when he presented him with the Jack Mann Award: "Tom Cullity was concerned about the quality and integrity of the region's wine and vigorously pursued excellence."

Frisson Folly…
Posted on October 2, 2010 by Kym Hamer
I finished a rather cracking read during my commuting odyssey this week – Boyd Morrison's The Noah's Ark Quest. It was full of all my favourite things in an unputdownable read – history, adventure, subterfuge and a will-they-or-won't-they-make-it race against time. Excellent material for absorbing oneself completely in a world divorced from the sopping brollies and damp humanity on the train this week.
And then it was spoiled.
Not completely but the brilliance of the ride was tarnished slightly by that most insidious of plot spoilers.
Romance, or for want of a better word, Chemistry…between the protagonists.
I'm not against a bit of frisson in my reading material. In fact far from it. But I like my frisson to be relevant to the plot whether it be those all time frisson classics, Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice or a bit of chick-lit by the likes of Sophie Kinsella or Tasmina Perry. And when I choose to read books like these, I'm choosing the chemistry, romance, and lust that they promise.
It seems to me that modern adventuring tales follow a 'formula' which features a 'ruggedly handsome' fella and a strong/intelligent (sometimes both) and 'beautiful' woman who spend most of the story either pretending there's no chemistry or avoiding acting on the it (as it would not be wise to distract themselves from the mission at hand). Only to fall prey to each others charms after some near death incident…
Bo-o-o-o-oring. Bored bored bored bored bored! Leave my action-packed thrillers alone guys! If I want the rollercoaster excitement of Space Mountain, I don't want to be treated to an It's a Small World boat ride in the middle!
So I deducted half a star from my 5-star rating on WeRead for The Noah's Ark Quest…
Rant over…for now.
ps…only 17 sleeps to go on the Lil Chicky Birthday Countdown…

Funny you mention this. I just got done watching a BBC 5-part mini-series of Edith Wharton's The Buccaneers, which I ordered from Netflix. It was made over 10 years ago (1995), when I was living in Tokyo. (I'm still catching up!)
In any event, I loved the first three episodes (on Disc One). But the last two, which I just got done watching on Disc Two, were a let-down–didn't hold my attention.
Why? The ending, which has the protagonist running off to South Africa with the love of her life, simply didn't ring true to Wharton. Though herself divorced in real life, Wharton suggests in her books that few women are free enough to write their own scripts and in any case there's usually a high price to pay. (Wharton is of course a member of the pre-WWI group of Americans who expatriated to Paris in search of personal fulfillment in ways not possible in America.)
I did some investigation, and it turns out I'm not the only one who felt this way about the series. (Thanks to the Web, it's possible to reconstruct how the chattering classes responded.) Here's what a writer in The Current had to say:
The Buccaneers, with a "ride into the sunset" ending that contrasts sharply with the desperation, despair and resignation of Wharton's other novels, readily appears to be a victim of "Americanization" and the tidy, cheerful Hollywood endings that Europeans mock.
In addition, the production came along at a time when the BBC was under rising pressure to support more of its costs through program sales overseas.
To be fair, Wharton never finished the book, which left open the possibility of giving it a happier ending than those found in her earlier works. (That said, I don't think it justifies giving it the elements of homosexuality and marital rape that weren't in the book.)
Now, being partial to fiction that was written by women around a hundred years ago, I don't know anything about Boyd Morrison, but dare I suggest that he (like so many of our contemporary writers) is anticipating that his work may someday be adapted for the big screen–so is already writing in the ending that Hollywood will insist on anyway?!

The Myth of the Therapist as a Blank Screen: normativity masquerading as neutrality
Aaron Balick
Nov 17, 2021 • 8 min read
Let's put it succinctly: when the idea of therapist as a "blank screen" was invented, therapy was being practised for the most part by urban white bourgeoise psychoanalysts treating urban white bourgeoise patients. Within such a homogenous culture, one can imagine how the idea of the therapist being a mirror to the patient made sense. But as soon as you start to scratch the surface of that mirror, you run into trouble, even back then.
There are good theoretical reasons the blank screen was suggested. First of all, by removing the personality of the analyst from the encounter, unconscious processes like transference and projection could reveal themselves free from contamination. They could be witnessed, understood, and interpreted. The second reason was that a non-judgemental "neutral" space allowed the patient to free-associate without being swayed by the unconscious desire to either gratify the therapist or fear disappointing them. By refraining from sharing any moral, political, or cultural values, the theory was that the patient became freer to discover their own.
This dynamic was later referred to as a "one person psychology" model whereby the "one person" in the room is the patient. The therapist's person is meant to be effectively absent - which is further effected by their sitting behind the reclining patient in the classical manner. In essence, there is some wisdom here. It makes sense to preserve the patient's space by not filling it up with the therapist's expectations, desires, and ideas. But what works fine in theory doesn't really pan out that way in practice.
Values assert themselves whether we they are explicit or implicit:
Freud's brilliance in identifying unconscious processes like transference and projection continues to be useful today, but many of his cultural values remain firmly situated in the 19th century, for instance his attitude towards women (who made up the majority of his "hysterical" patients), as well as many implicit ideas about psychological health (for example the idea that masturbation caused "neurasthenia"). Since the technique of the blank screen post-dated Freud's famous case study of "Dora", his lack of neutrality in it clearly exemplifies these values.
Dora was a 14-year-old girl who arrived on Freud's couch with a variety of symptoms after suffering the sexual advances made towards her by an older man, known as Herr K. Not only was Herr K. a family friend of her parents, but Dora's father also happened to be having an affair with his wife. When Herr K. made his sexual advance to Dora by a secluded lake, she quite rightly rebuffed him with a slap and made her way off. Freud, rather than empathising with a young girl who'd been sexually assaulted by an older man, suggested that a more appropriate response would have been a corresponding sexual interest from her. This is a reading that was suspect even at the time, and has ever since earned him the scorn of feminists everywhere. To Dora's enduring credit she dismissed Freud almost as quickly as she did Herr k.
Freud had not yet developed the technique of the blank screen, so these events quite transparently belie the explicit values that he embodied at the time: values that would not disappear with neutrality, only become perniciously implicit.
Neutrality is never really neutral: it is rather a reproduction of normative cultural constructs prevalent at any given time.
Not that you'd guess it from this example, but Freud's lifelong attention on sexuality was intent uncovering how damaging Victorian-era sexual mores were on his patients. Freudian thought developed to liberalise and open sexual values rather that reproduce them as they were. Notwithstanding his positively anachronistic views on women, even for his time, many of his other views on sexuality were astonishingly progressive for his time. Sadly, these progressive views were not carried forward after his death in 1939.
From bad to worse:
Many of the psychoanalysts fleeing Nazi Europe found themselves in a United States that was even more prudish than the Europe they'd left. Eschewing most of Psychoanalysis's progressive views on sexuality created a new kind of medicalised sexual normativity as it developed into Ego Psychology which arguably focused on creating "good citizens" who'd be well adapted to their culture.
Departing from its subversive Freudian roots in the 1940s and 1950s, Ego Psychology was explicitly homophobic and heteronormative, holding up the monogamous married couple as the gold standard of a healthy psychological life. Whereas Freud held that heterosexuality needed as much explanation as homosexuality, and did not see the latter as pathological, homosexuality in the 1950s and 1960s was approached by the psychiatric establishment as a perversion that needed correction. Lesbians, gays, and bisexuals availing themselves to psychotherapy in those days, often against their will, were subjecting themselves to harmful practices that tried to analyse (or worse, electrocute) the gay out of them. Those blank screens and "neutral" medical environments were cauldrons of judgement and conventional expectation – harming rather than healing.
Richard Isay, one of the first openly gay psychoanalysts, kept his sexuality to himself throughout his entire training analysis in the 1970s as he knew well that the masquerade of neutrality was a trap – and that by availing himself to being truthful in his analysis he would risk his career.
After finally passing his candidacy and coming out in the 1980s, he wrote that for gay analysts to present themselves as a blank screen, particularly when working with other sexually minoritised individuals, would be tantamount to a violence of withholding. This is because "neutrality" assumes the underlying dominant power structures, which in this case is heterosexuality. In other words, if the analyst didn't come out as gay, the patient would assume they were straight. While there has been a lot of progress in this area since Isay's time, other contemporary dominant structures, like binary gender, continue to make therapeutic spaces unsafe for transgender and non-binary individuals.
For anyone who experiences themselves as different from conventional norms (and the vast majority of us do), being in a neutral therapeutic space is more likely to feel like oppression than care.
But therapists don't still do blank screen though, do they?
For the most part, no. In practice, though, most therapists do generally practice descendent of that in the form of neutrality in the interest of preserving therapeutic space for the client. In theory, this is fine – but, again, in practice it quickly gets problematic. Important personal aspects of the therapist's identity are plainly evident and easily disrupt the fantasy that any space can be neutral.
Objective qualities like the location and decoration of their offices, for example, or more pertinently, personal qualities like race, accent, class, gender, disability, or sexuality may be evident from the very first meeting. More subtle giveaways may be political or religious affiliations, spiritual beliefs, marital status, or attitudes towards drugs or sex, which may become evident over time often by disclosure or more subtly by omission – those things unsaid, unaddressed, or worse, subtly recoiled from.
The development of Relational Theory in the 1980s has done much to uncover and challenge the idea of neutrality and the "one person psychology" model through what we have come to understand as "intersubjective space", that is the co-constructed space between a therapist and client which becomes of primary interest. This development in theory is the result of integrating other disciplines like critical theory, post-structuralism, post-colonialism, feminism, and queer theory, to inform contemporary therapeutic process.
The aim of Relational Theory isn't to tell therapists how neutral or not to be in the consulting room, but rather to think more critically about how power might be deployed between therapist and client so they can understand it together for the benefit of the client.
Relational theory alerts us to how power is deployed implicitly – for example, between people from different classes, genders, races, or cultures. It does not offer a solution to dealing with difference so much as acknowledging that when we accept that neutrality is a myth the relational dynamics between therapist and client become the object of interest as they arise instead. This is truly a "two person psychology" approach – accepting both the psychology of the therapist and the client as a co-creation - but one in which the therapist still retains responsibility for the frame.
While it may feel more comfortable to think about what we have in common, Relational Theory gives us insights and models into how we manage and contain difference – from difference of opinion and personality style, to differences in skin colour, gender, class, neurodiversity, or disability.
Blank screen: white screen
The idea of the blank screen developed out of white practice in a largely white environment of Europe in the early 20th century. Even under those conditions it was unrealistic, but today it is wholly inappropriate. As we have discovered, whenever we assume some kind of neutrality we are reproducing normativity instead. If we have learned anything over the past decades it is that any institutional structure is imbued with the cultural values of its day lurking in the background. Even today, in 2021, the world of psychotherapy continues to be largely white and middle class (present company included), and attempting to call it "neutral" does nothing to neutralise those values.
Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour are woefully under-represented throughout the profession, many of whom report experiencing trauma at the oppressive way in which their trainings have been delivered. This creates a vicious cycle that continues to underserve these communities as well as staving off the creative, diverse, and inclusive developments in the theory and practice that's lost by their absence. And it's not just race. We must also confront issues of class, economic opportunity, neurodiversity, disability, sexuality, gender, age, religion, and ethnic and cultural diversity.
Part of the solution is ensuring that we find ways to encourage this diversity of life experience to safely participate in the field more widely as therapists and trainers, and make trainings safer (not neutral) so that this can happen. In the therapy room there is no simple guide to how we go about resolving these issues, but it's glaringly clear that pretending that we can be neutral isn't one of them.
That doesn't make it all about me:
Neutrality is oppressive because it is defensive, and its defensiveness is probably part of why it was invented. A therapist can hide behind it to keep themselves safe from exposure and vulnerability or from confronting an important interpersonal conflict that's happening in the room. But I'm afraid to say that its reverse is not at all the cure either. Bringing too much of the self into the room via self-disclosure can be equally defensive and oppressive. Nobody said this was going to be easy!
So the question for the therapist isn't what or how much they might say or do, the question is, "Is it in the service of my client?" A question that might be answered by, "Who benefits the most from this omission or disclosure?"
By eschewing neutrality, therapists drop defensiveness and make themselves more vulnerable and hence available to their clients. After all, therapists expect clients to be vulnerable with them – so it's only fair that there's some degree of reciprocity there, even if it's not equal: what Lewis Aron calls "asymmetrical mutuality".
For clients, the therapist's lack of defensiveness allows space for them to develop trust in another complex human being who is different from themselves - not an opaque or blank screen that feels at best forced, at worst, unsafe. The relationship becomes more honest and more human.
For therapists, authenticity doesn't mean letting go of that important job to do - being a therapist: neither a spouse nor a friend. It is here that those therapeutic boundaries remain crucial. But there is also an acknowledgement of the inherent shared humanity, sameness, and difference in therapist and client, and it's there – not some imagined neutrality – that the real work is done.

This is my second stay in the hotel. I stayed here on the night of the 10th May 2013. The staff were friendly, and I was booked in promptly. Rooms quite nice, gym quite small and poorly laid out, nice pool. I ate in the restaurant and thought it was a bit overpriced. I also felt the hotel was a bit over priced as it is a similar standard room wise to Premier Inn. My main reason for staying in the hotel was I was on a course at the venue, and didn't want to be tired for it. At 6am the fire alarm went off waking the entire hotel up, whilst I accept faults happen, I understand it went off two days earlier, and the fault hasn't been fixed. I e mailed the hotel to complain, and gave them a week to reply, however up to press my e mail hasn't even been acknowledged so I have to say not impressed with their customer service.

Azurite is a soft, deep blue copper mineral produced by weathering of copper ore deposits. It is also known as Chessylite after the type locality at Chessy-les-Mines near Lyon, France. Azurite crystals are monoclinic, and when large enough to be seen they appear as dark blue prismatic crystals. Azurite specimens are typically massive to nodular, and are often stalactite in form. Specimens tend to lighten in color over time due to weathering of the specimen surface into malachite. Azurite was distinguished from (the much more expensive) purified natural ultramarine blue by heating (as described by Cennino D'Andrea Cennini). Ultramarine withstands heat, whereas azurite turns black (copper oxide). Gentle heating of azurite produces a deep blue pigment used in Japanese painting techniques.
Azurite is used occasionally as beads and as jewelry, and also as an ornamental stone. Heating destroys azurite easily, so all mounting of azurite specimens must be done at room temperature.
The most occurrence of Azurite is Australia, Chile, France, Mexico, Morocco, Namibia, the southwestern USA, and Zaire.
