Water and light are two elements that can affect a growing orchid's success. Learn more in this free educational video series.
What we are going to do is we are going to try and look at how we might adapt to what nature has in store. And we are going to adapt by trying to use a method of growing the plants which allow us to control moisture level, which allow us to control the way roots get their oxygen because it is always an issue with roots when they grow. We are going to look at the special containers that we might have to use and we are also to use and look at some things like where would you grow orchids if you were growing them at home. What special characteristics would you need. What special equipment do you need? Do you need a green house? Can you use other methods rather than a green house and as it is, if you go to an orchid society you will find out that 98 percent of the growers in the orchid society don't use a green house. They use their window sill.

From the No. 1 bestselling author of THE MISSING AND THE DEAD comes the short novel: 22 DEAD LITTLE BODIES, plus two short stories: STRAMASH and DI STEEL'S BAD HEIR DAY, and a novella: THE 45% HANGOVER, all featuring his most popular characters - DS Logan McRae and DCI Roberta Steel. They say 'small is beautiful', but as Stuart MacBride demonstrates in these four tales, it can also be dark, violent, disturbing, and sometimes really quite rude.

Q: Adding JVM system properties to running JVM? I have a running Java program which I would like to control at the command line by changing a custom system property which I'm listening for changes to inside the application, thereby not requiring a restart of the application for the changes to take affect.
I understand that it's possible to change some of the default JVM properties using jinfo but it doesn't seem to work for custom properties which I set at compile time using the -D flag.
For example, if I start a JAR using the following command line arguments:
java -Dfoo=1 -jar my_jar.jar

attempting to call the following fails:
jinfo -flag foo=2 'pid'

Is there something I'm missing or is this simply not possible?

A:

*

*This utility is unsupported and might not be available in future releases of the JDK. Official Doc

*Not all of the available parameters can be changed. Reference

IMO, Recommended way is to have some event-listener or service call to change the flags of running application.
I had used some system properties using jinfo so not sure if custom flags can be changed during jar execution. Try some custom boolean flag using command jinfo -flag +<customBooleanFlag> <PID> to check if its working.

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
by Seraphroy
‹ Part #3 Part #5 › Return to LP Index
Part 4: Blackout
Welcome back. When we left off, the Mayor let us know he knows where the bandits make base. It happens to be fairly close by. How the villagers still live, we'll never know.
:Take what ya want! Steal what ya want! Kill who ya want!
Beast's Law: GWAR HAR HAR
:That's probably where they scavenged their weapons and vehicles.
: They lack the discipline of a comptent army unit, but not the fighting skill.
: Agreed. And we know there are former soldiers and mercenaries among their number.
: Let's put them down before they do any more harm to the survivors.
: Good. Still no sign of the enemy?
: No, sir. But this dust prevents us from seeing much of anything. Of course, it keeps us hidden too, so I guess it's not all bad!
:All units, move out!
New CO, New Theme. Of course, Lin's recon knowledge plays no part here, but still. Good song.
: Scount unit Bravo reporting. Visibility is poor, and we've lost visual contact with the enemy.
: Understood, Bravo. Get somewhere safe. We're on our way.
: Watch the woods, sir. I think the raiders are hiding there.
Time to begin. Well, almost. As is clear, we're in a fog dust of war map. Vision is reduced, ruins, woods and, later, mist over water conceal anything on that spot until you have a unit adjacent to it. Each unit has their own vision range. Recons are the best, as their name implies. There are ways to modify what you can see, and in fact, we have a new unit dedicated to exactly that.
The Flare does what it's name implies. It launches a flare to pierce fog of war, revealing everything in a small range around the spot you targetted, including woods and ruins. Beyond that, they're a treaded recon with less mobility, only having a machine gun to use against targets. Don't let them see combat too often. Let's give it's ability a shot.
Hitting the largest concentration of woodlands I can, and also revealing if there's anything near my artillery. Here goes nothing.
Well, shit. At least we know that area is safe. On the top screen there's an information box with how many units the Beast has. He's got five units hiding out there, most of them likely in woods, as our scout unit reported. I then move the infantry and one mech into the mountain ranges, which increase their individual vision ranges by three, making them on par with recons. Next, I move the other mech towards where Bravo is, and introduce a new change to the way IntSys decided to handle fog of war in this game.
By moving him two spaces forward, we get to see everything along the path the mech took to get there. This effect lasts until the end of the turn, as does the flare shot. Gone are the days of endlessly moving a recon until you run into an enemy, as you can now motor them down a road and have full vision on all sides. Now, let's get Bravo back to the main force.
Or not. Bravo just walked into an Ambush, which occurs when you hit a tile occupied by the enemy while you can't see them. Movement ends, and you can't take another action with that unit. Bravo is now stranded, I hope he'll be fine.
At the start of his turn, The Beast has a few words for us.
: No one attacks The Beast in his own home! No one! Swarm, roaches! Show no mercy!
Welp. Sorry Bravo. Could have seen this coming if I used the flare properly. Rest in peace, brave men...
: I'm trying to raise them on the radio... Bravo, do you read? Over.
: Scout unit Bravo reporting! We're taking heavy fire! We can't
continue the mission! We have to retreat!
: Understood. Double-time it back to base, soldier.
: Roger that, sir!
: Pay attention, Will. Remember that soldiers are a precious resource. We know there is risk in war, and some casualties are inevitable. But it's our duty to get as many of them home as possible.
What? No. No. That infantry unit just got gunned down by TWO recon forces. They're DEAD. This is WAR. They do not escape. They were surrounded, for God's sake! IntSys, if you're going to make a post apocalyptic war game where life is at an all time low, and we're killing the Beast's men left and right, at least reciprocate it. I blundered, make it so I pay the consequences and lose some damn men for it.
Anyway, the Beast, fresh off his kill attack to force a retreat decides to go on the offensive, using the mech that was south of Bravo to batter down my recon on the road to 2 HP, and using the Bike from the east to attack the mech I moved forward on the road. In this game, the enemy doesn't cheat, and uses vision the way a player does as well. Those units happened to be in range of the recons that attacked Bravo unit.
I decide to get some better positioning. As I said earlier, Enemy AI can't see you in fog of war maps if you hide in woods. Hopefully they'll come searching.
Eh... yes and no. We've lost sight of the recons since our recon fled the scene, but the enemy mech is in range of the artillery. Since half our units are vehicles, it gets nailed first.
Then I move the flare to where the cursor is pointing to, and use it and the infantry beside the artillery to attack the Beast's bike. It sadly lives with 1 HP. Our tank and bike move closer to the action. Only one of these will actually get used next turn.
Our turn again. The enemy mech suicided on our flare (AI logic fails nicely sometimes), the recon that took out Bravo is harassing our infantry, and the flare got rocked by the other recon. We begin by targetting the full health recon with our artillery.
As shown, we use our mech to destroy the recon, leaving the Beast with two units. Our flare takes out the 1 HP bike, and our tank rolls up and blasts the other recon.
:The world is over! Why do these do-gooders care what we do?! I'm The Beast! No one says no to me! Not even a bunch of soldier boys! I'll be back, losers! And I'm gonnakill every last one of ya!
: I never miss a thing.
Speed took a hit. Still an S rank. If you're more daring with your units, you can finish a turn earlier for the full 100. Also not having the distraction of Bravo unit if you let him get out safely.
Oh good, it's YOU again.
: I don't think they'll bother you again.
: Thank you, Captain Brenner! I think my village can sleep soundly tonight.
: I'm glad. Now let's talk about your side of the bargain. We drove them off. Now you need to provide Will and the other civilians with shelter.
: I didn't agree to that.
: ...What are you doing? We saved your village. You promised to take in the civilians.
: I said nothing of the sort, Captain.
: Isn't that right, people? That's what I said! Your mayor is a man of his word!
: Yeah! That's right! That's what he said!
Oh for fuck's sake. The only consolidation I have here now is beating down The Beast again. And that's getting tiring now.
: I don't believe this!
: Captain, please! Control yourself! Even you can see that this "bargain" of yours affects my entire village. I may be the mayor, but I do not rule by fiat. We are civilized men, after all. We will come to a decision in due course. Until then...you must be patient.
: Why, you double-crossing--
: You have only yourself to blame for your anger, Captain.
Spoken like a true politician.
: I see.
: Will you threaten us now? Will you let your guns take the place of your honor? Perhaps we should have taken our chances with the savages!
: ...No, Mayor. I won't threaten you. I won't do anything to unnerve these people that you pretend to care for.
: Wh-what? How dare you!
: I remember you. I remember how you were. Scared. Alone. On the verge of death. Do you remember your words to me when my men gave you food and shelter? "I will save others as you have saved me, Brenner." "I will construct a village where all can live in peace and rebuild their lives." Do you remember that? Or did I misunderstand your words again?
: Who are you to say such? You're a killer! A soldier! A relic of the past! I give these people peace. I give them hope. You give nothing but horror and death!
: Captain Brenner!
: ...Will?
: Sir, I know you have our best interests at heart, but it's OK. Look, I know it might be safer here in this village, but I don't want to stay.
I wonder how much of this is Will actually liking Brenner, and how much of it is him hating the Mayor. I'd stick with the military over that ass anyway.
: Out of the question, Will. It's too dangerous. People who truck with us don't live very long. You're young. Your life is ahead of you.
: Please, Captain. Please. Let me stay. Let me fight with you.
: Honestly, I don't seem to have much choice. And I admire your courage... All right. Lin! Will! Prepare to move out! ...Good luck, Mayor. I think you'll need it.
Brenner gets one last shot off at the Mayor before leaving, but we're not done with Character Development yet.
: Hey. How's she doing?
: Oh, Will! Thanks for coming again today! She's going to be very pleased.
: I hope so. Sometimes, I... I just don't know if she even gets it.
: She looks forward to your visits, Will. When you're here, she is bright and cheerful. Otherwise, she seems a bit...sad.
: Really?
: Really. But don't worry about it. We'll take care of her. She's going
to be OK.
: Um... Hi. How's it going today? I... brought you something! I hope you like it.
: A flower?
: Yeah. Well, it's not a real flower. It's plastic. You can't find many real flowers anymore. I found it while I was on a recon mission a few miles over.
: It's... It's beautiful. What do you call it?
: Huh? Oh, I don't know. I'm not much of a flower... scientist...guy. Let me ask Lin.
: No, I wait! I remember... This is a Cattleya isabella. It's a natural hybrid of the orchid family. Cattleya... Yes, that's it! That will be myname.
All right, we have a name for this person. Meet Cattleya!
: Uh...Cattelya? Wow, that's...that's uh... That's kind of hard to say, actually. How about we call you Isabella? That's really pretty. It fits you better.
: I'm so happy!
All right, we have a name for this person. Meet Cattleya Isabella!
: Yeah? Oh, good! I think it suits you.
: Thank you, Will!
: Lieutenant! Um...what are you doing here?
: I've been here. The whole time. Juuuust keeping an eye on you.
Creepy. God damn Lin, reconnaissance and intelligence isn't supposed to be disturbing.
NEXT TIME!
We actually get to make units like in other Advance Wars games!


When you have so much in common with someone, why not crush on them and then ask for their hand in marriage? That sounded like a good plan to Andy! Both are driven professionally as up-and-coming doctors taking their talents to New York. These list checkers make time for friends and family and even plenty of romance along the way. I think even Andy was caught off guard at the overflow of love and emotion this day can bring, as he wiped away tears to see his flawless bride for the first time. Janelle and I freaking adore these two as friends and by the wedding A-Team they built! From the event details of the talented Aria staff, to Arts and Flowers with their impressive blooms, to Twirl event design's brilliance coupled with Janelle Vick or White Confetti to pull all the strings together, you could not ask for more. And with the fabulous Alex as his wife, neither could Andy.


My iMac (OSX 10.8.4) won't open Word (or a dozen of my other programs) with the lordly remark that "Powerpoint" material is no longer recognized. Apart from cursing Apple's arrogance toward its "customers." is there a workaround, or do I just lose everything and play Solitaire?
I do not use a Mac, but I would first try a Repair or a Reinstall and see if that works.
Sounds more like a system problem then a strictly Office problem.
You have a dozen apps that all give you a PowerPoint related error?
If that's true, then it sounds like you have a file association problem and your Mac thinks that all of the apps are PowerPoint files.
I'm not sure how you set file associations on a Mac, but I imagine it's something that you can find via Google.


"Going forward, I see the US continuing to play a role in India's transformation, and see India and the US joining hands to make the world a better place for our two nations and the rest of the world," Indian Ambassador to the US Arun K Singh said.
WASHINGTON: The US would continue to play an important role in India's transformation in the decades to come and going forward the two countries will join hands in addressing global challenges, the Indian Ambassador to the US said today.
"Going forward, I see the US continuing to play a role in India's transformation, and see India and the US joining hands to make the world a better place for our two nations and the rest of the world," Indian Ambassador to the US Arun K Singh told a Washington audience.
"As the Indian Prime Minister, has said, 'We should not confine ourselves to thinking what India and the US can do for each other but what we can do together for the world'," Singh said.
"We should take that as our common challenge for the future, as we step into the second decade of the historic and transformative civil nuclear cooperation initiative," said the top Indian diplomat.
Singh was speaking at an event organised jointly by the Confederation of Indian Industry and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a US-based think-tank, on the 10th anniversary of India-US civil nuclear deal.
Giving a brief overview of the progress in India-US relationship, Singh said the experience of the past ten years has taught that deeper dialogue and effort at empathetic understanding is the best way to overcome challenges.
"Autonomy of decision-making and differences, we believe, are not inconsistent with our strategic partnership," he said.
"Our relationship with the US has transformed rapidly in the last ten years to become a full-spectrum relationship, covering virtually all fields of human endeavour," Singh said, adding that it is now embedded in the larger vision of a global strategic partnership that has stood the test of a decade of transitions, turbulence and challenges in an interdependent world.
"The level of political comfort in doing things together is unprecedented. On the ground, habits of cooperation have formed among our departments and institutions. There is greater awareness of each other among our people," Singh said.
Defence, he noted, is one of the areas where the transformation in the last decade has been evident.
"In 2005, our countries concluded their first Defence Cooperation Framework and it was upgraded and renewed last month," he said.
"We have added the Defence Technology and Trade Initiative to foster collaboration in transformative defence technology, co-production and co-development. Last year, we began a new and futuristic knowledge partnership in defence studies," Singh said.

Supreme Court Committee Issues Advice About Judicial Service on Civil Liberties Program Advisory Panel
A state Supreme Court committee this month posted a summary of oral advice given to an appellate justice about serving on the advisory panel of a civil liberties program for the California State Library.
By Merrill Balassone
In a summary of the advice, the California Supreme Court Committee on Judicial Ethics Opinions concluded the judicial officer may accept appointment by the Governor to serve on the advisory panel for the California State Library. The panel will develop grants and educational programs about the internment of Japanese-American citizens as well as other civil rights violations perpetrated on the basis of race, national origin, immigration status, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
"When we looked at this panel, it was clear that the justice's service would be an activity involving the law and the administration of justice, and in fact, the panel's goals fit with those required of judges under the Code of Judicial Ethics, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of national origin or other diverse distinctions," said committee member Judge Kenneth So of the San Diego Superior Court.
The 12-member committee includes appellate justices, trial court judges and commissioners appointed by the California Supreme Court. Their advice reflects the views of the committee and not of the state Supreme Court.
The committee concluded that the appointment and service was permissible by examining rules permitting and encouraging extrajudicial activities involving the law, the legal system, and the administration of justice, including service as a nonlegal advisor to governmental and civic organizations. (Cal. Code Jud. Ethics, canons 4B, 4C(1), 4C(3)(a) & (b).) The committee also cautioned that service on this advisory panel was permissible so long as the justice determines on a continuing basis that service is otherwise consistent with the obligations of judicial office.
About the Committee on Judicial Ethics Opinions (CJEO)
The Committee on Judicial Ethics Opinions is an advisory committee that issues written opinions and gives advice on judicial ethics topics of interest to judicial officers, candidates for judicial office, and members of the public. The committee is appointed and authorized by the California Supreme Court, but its work is independent of the court, the Judicial Council, and all other entities. CJEO summarizes its oral advice and posts summaries on its website for the benefit of the bench and the public. The conclusions expressed in CJEO Oral Advice Summaries are those of the committee and do not necessarily reflect the views of the California Supreme Court or any other entity. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 9.80(b); CJEO rule 1(a)).)

Water Technology Initiative, initiated in August 2007 aims to promote R&D activities aimed at providing safe drinking water at affordable cost and in adequate quantity using appropriate Science and Technology interventions evolved through indigenous efforts. Since quality is the main consideration of safe drinking water, processes which imply nano-material and filtration technologies have been focused. The initiative also includes the pilot testing of credible number of products and referencing of selected technologies to the social context of the application region.
Department has developed necessary knowledge network for evolving customized technological solutions for water challenges suited to specific social context. Recognising the immense value of the expertise developed , continued need for scientific and technological inputs and insight gained during the course of implementation of R&D activities for addressing water challenges during the course of implementation of Technology Mission : Winning, Augmentation and Renovation of Water, the department proposes to continue the initiative with vigour to develop synergies with national and global R&D institutions, state governments, central ministries and other stakeholders. The activities of WAR for Water are now integrated with Water Technology Initiative. The implementation approach is a mix of the Mission implemented by DST and initiative mounted by DST.
This pro-active India – centric 'solution science' endeavour aims to strengthen the R&D capacity and capability to develop the technological solutions for existing and emerging water challenges facing the country.
This demand oriented user centric initiative includes development research in laboratories as well as application research in field. The scope of initiative covers the entire value chain of R&D right from water oriented basic and applied research, pre competitive technology development , technology based classification & assessment of technology options, pilot-demonstration of technology leads from laboratories and academic institutions assessment of available technology options to evolve a basket of technology options and mounting of technically, socially, environmentally and eventually affordable convergent solutions based on evolving,novel as well as known technologies suited to socio-economic context .
It also envisages to nurture enabling activities such as human and institutional capacity building such as fellowships for researchers, training of water managers to enable identify and select most appropriate technology option, promoting centers of excellence for water research and nurturing nascent water technologies for last mile connectivity etc.
The thrust areas for initiative dynamically evolve based on need for technology based solution from the users, requirement of R&D inputs by stakeholders, assessment of S&T requirements to enable achieve technology prowess in water sector etc. The thrust areas specific to call for proposals are articulated in call document uploaded on DST website periodically.
Proposals under WTI will be entertained only against specific call.The priorities and commitments of the Water Technology Initiative for every year are articulated in the " Call for Proposals, which would appear on DST website in the month of April. The criteria for evaluation and evaluation procedure will be part of call document Interested applicants may apply against the call. However, next phase of projects supported earlier which are essential for logical conclusion of the project can be considered beyond the call domain.

Towards the beginning of this year, UGK legend Bun B revealed plans for a new studio album, titled Return of the Trill. The LP was announced during a February installment of Bun B's #TrillMealz cooking series and continues to be supported by high-profile singles such as "Recognize" with T.I. and Big K.R.I.T. Now, with August coming to an end, Bun B's first studio album in five years is here and available for streaming.
Return of the Trill is the follow-up to 2013's Trill OG: The Epilogue, and gives listeners 14 new tracks to bump. The project features collaborations with Lil Wayne, Run the Jewels, 2 Chainz, Yo Gotti, Leon Bridges and the late Pimp C. Sitting down with the Sway's Universe crew earlier this week, Bun B broke down the mission behind RotT, explaining that he created the project with the intention of reminding listeners of what "trill" really means.

Jurors hear closing arguments in 2014 drive by murder trial
By BY Jonah Owen Lamb • October 29, 2015 12:00 am
Defendant Justin Howard looks on as Judge Samuel Feng goes over evidence with his defense and prosecutors Wednesday. (Mike Koozmin/S.F. Examiner)
A San Francisco jury must decide if a Richmond man is guilty of murder for the killing of a 25-year-old man in the Mission.
Justin Howard, 26, originally of San Francisco, stands charged with murder and a firearm enhancement for allegedly killing 25-year-old Dominic Anderson on June 13, 2014.
Closing arguments were made Wednesday in Judge Samuel Feng's Superior Courtroom by Assistant District Attorney John Rowland and Deputy Public Defender Vilaska Nguyen.
The prosecution's argument centered on a ream of cell tower and surveillance evidence showing Howard's car and cell phone moving from his home to the scene of the shooting that morning.
"The defendant shot and killed Dominic Anderson," said Rowland, pointing out the circumstantial evidence presented in the case.
He also attacked Howard's credibility, calling the defendant's alibi an "elaborate hoax" which cannot be trusted, stating that he lied repeatedly and changed his story about where he was that day because he was "trying to fool the police because he doesn't want to go to jail."
But the defense argued the burden of proof falls on the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt Howard killed Anderson.
"He wasn't there," said Nguyen about the shooting, no matter how Rowland tried to discredit Howard's statements on the stand. "He can't shift the burden and put everything on Justin's words," added Nguyen about Rowland's claims that Howard cannot be trusted.
THE SHOOTING
Both sides disagreed upon the meaning of the evidence in the case, but are less at odds when it comes to the events of the case.
On June 13 around 9:30 a.m., Anderson was dropping his friend off for an appointment at Walden House on 15th Street in the Mission. As she went inside, he waited in a white
convertible Chrysler.
About a half hour before, someone drove Howard's purple Lexus over the Bay Bridge, according to video surveillance. Moments later the car owned by the mother of Howard's children passed through the toll plaza.
Cell phone towers also picked up the number associated with Howard's cell phone moving into the The City and then the Mission. Surveillance cameras then recorded some of that purple Lexus' progress through the Mission.
As Anderson sat in the convertible, the Lexus rolled by. Surveillance footage played in court showed the car back up as the driver fired a .40 caliber automatic pistol multiple times at Anderson, who died from the wounds. The Lexus then sped away and one witness said he saw a bald black man in his 20s driving the car.
Cell towers tracked the car's progress as it headed into East Oakland. Police later found the car, but it had been torched.
Later that day, Howard called police to report that his car had been stolen. He told a dispatcher he'd parked his car in front of Highland Hospital in Oakland the previous night. He had to stop driving, he said, because of an arm injury. He had to come by the hospital for treatment during the early the morning hours of the same day the shooting happened.
But Howard soon changed his story, saying that he'd lent his car and his cell phone to his cousin, Paris Anderson, who was shot dead in November 2014.
Howard was arrested in a predawn raid in Richmond on July 18.
The jury is expected to have a verdict within a week.

What is inclusive education?
Inclusive education is about everyone learning, growing and flourishing – together – in all our diversity. Inclusive education recognises the right of every child and young person – without exception – to be included in general education settings. It involves adapting the environment and teaching approaches to ensure genuine and valued full participation of all children and young people. It embraces human diversity and welcomes all as equal members of an educational community.
See our Fact Sheet What is Inclusive Education?
What is the current state of play for students with disability?
Every year CYDA completes a National Education Survey to advocate to government about inclusive education.
The results from the 2019 CYDA National Education Survey are available in our report Time for change: The state of play for inclusion of students with disability.
CYDA conducted the survey between August and September 2019. It provided important information on the school experiences of children and young people with disability, with 505 people taking part, including young people, families and caregivers.
In our 2020 report Not even remotely fair: Experiences of students with disability during COVID-19, we explore the experiences of students with disability in relation to the educational changes made necessary by the COVID-19 pandemic. Research evidence from before the pandemic suggests that despite a number of policy commitments and initiatives at local and national levels, we have seen only limited progress in moving towards inclusive education and that children and young people with disability often fare poorly in the education system. This is despite the fact that all of the evidence suggests that inclusive education is not just better for children and young people with disability, but can have significant positive impacts for the whole classroom.
Although the shift to remote learning and the associated impacts of the pandemic have raised some new issues, several respondents indicated that the issues faced are more longstanding. Over the longer term the only way to prevent these issues arising in future waves of the pandemic or during other emergencies is to genuinely implement inclusive education practices.
Can CYDA help us with individual advocacy at our school?
Individual advocacy involves helping to resolve individual issues that children and young people with disability and their families are facing in their education. Many people contact CYDA seeking individual advocacy.
CYDA is not funded to provide individual advocacy, however, there are many organisations that can help with individual circumstances. See our Get help section to find an organisation that can assist.
It is vital that young people and families continue to contact CYDA and tell us about their experiences. This insight and knowledge informs us about change that is occurring and identifies areas where systemic changes are required. You can contact us if you need a referral, assistance or just want to tell us what is happening for children and young people with disability in their education.
What are the benefits of inclusive education?
Research evidence overwhelmingly supports inclusive education. As well as positive outcomes for social justice and a sense of community and belonging, there are benefits for learning outcomes and for the social, behavioural and physical development of children and young people who do and do not experience disability.
Our Fact Sheet What are the benefits of inclusive education? outlines the benefits for all students, students with disability, teachers and educators, and families and the broader community.
What is ableism in education?
Barriers to inclusive education prevent children and young people with disability from learning and participating fully, with far-reaching and lifelong implications. Major barriers include negative attitudes and stigma around 'difference' and 'disability', inadequate education and professional development for teachers and specialist support staff, and systemic barriers, such as inadequate funding and support from education authorities. Underpinning these barriers is ongoing ableism.
See our Fact Sheet Addressing ableism in education for more information.
Why is a transformation needed to create inclusive education in Australia?
In our Fact Sheet Transformation to inclusive education: the next steps, we outline the steps needed to realise inclusive education in Australia.
Leadership is required to bring about the substantial change needed to ensure every child and young person can fully and genuinely participate and have the contribution they make recognised.
Do you provide individual advocacy?
Individual advocacy involves assistance to resolve issues of specific relevance to a child or young person with disability and their family. Many people contact CYDA seeking individual advocacy. CYDA does not provide individual advocacy. Individuals and families can contact one of the disability advocacy organisations listed listed in the get help by state or territory section for individual advocacy.
It is vital that young people and families continue to contact CYDA and tell us about their experiences. This insight and knowledge informs us about change that is occurring and identifies areas where systemic changes are required. You can contact us to provide us with information about your experiences.
How do I get help or make a complaint?
In the get help by state and territory section you will find the organisations and phone numbers where you can make a complaint, as well as advocacy organisations who can help you with individual advocacy.
What will you do if I contact you needing assistance?
Although CYDA does not provide individual advocacy, you can contact us and we can make a warm referral to the right organisation to assist you or can direct you to other advocacy organisations that may be able to help address the issue you raised.
What else can CYDA do for me?
CYDA provides systemic advocacy to achieve better outcomes for children and young people with disability. Systemic advocacy seeks to influence and change a 'system' such as legislation, government policy and community attitudes. Through systemic advocacy, CYDA aims to create change and a more informed understanding of the experiences and challenges of children and young people with disability.
An imperative part of the work of CYDA is to raise awareness of issues impacting on children and young people with disability and their families. It is not possible to achieve effective policy and practice for children and young people with disability unless governments and the community are informed of the lived experience of disability.
You can have your say through getting involved in CYDA's activities.
What is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities?
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is an international human rights treaty to promote and protect the rights and freedoms of all people with disability. Australia signed this Convention in 2008.
Article 5 of the CRPD covers equality and non-discrimination, with obligations for signatories to the Convention including:
State Parties recognise that all persons are equal before and under the law and are entitled without any discrimination to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law.
State Parties shall prohibit all discrimination on the basis of disability and guarantee to persons with disabilities equal and effective legal protection against discrimination on all grounds.
In order to promote equality and eliminate discrimination, State Parties shall take all appropriate steps to ensure that reasonable accommodation is provided.
Specific measures which are necessary to accelerate or achieve de facto equality of persons with disabilities shall not be considered discrimination under the terms of the present Convention.
Reference: United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
What laws are there in Australia to prevent discrimination?
The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) is Australia's main source of legal protection of people with disability. The legislation is based on Australia's obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
All states and territories also have anti-discrimination legislation to prevent discrimination against people with disability:
Australian Capital Territory – Discrimination Act 1991
New South Wales – Anti-Discrimination Act 1977
Northern Territory – Anti-Discrimination Act 1996
Queensland – Anti-Discrimination Act 1991
South Australia – Equal Opportunity Act 1984
Tasmania – Anti-Discrimination Act 1998
Victoria – Equal Opportunity Act 2010
Western Australia – Equal Opportunity Act 1984.
Reference: Australian Human Rights Commission, A quick guide to Australian discrimination laws.
How do I know if I have been discriminated against because of my disability?
A person with disability may experience discrimination when they are treated less favourably than a person without disability in the same circumstances or situation.
Direct discrimination occurs when a person is discriminated against because of their disability. For example, not allowing a child to enrol in the local school because of their disability.
Indirect discrimination can occur if a person denies or proposes not to make reasonable adjustments for a person with disability. For example, not having reasonable adjustments at work or school to perform or learn on the same basis as peers without disability.
Indirect discrimination can also occur when a person with disability is not able to comply with a requirement or condition, or when the requirement or condition has or is likely to have the effect of disadvantaging a person with disability. For example, when a traffic light without sound to cross disadvantages a vision-impaired pedestrian, or there is difficulty in accessing a public building that does not have a ramp for wheelchair users.
Reference: Disability Discrimination Act 1992, Part 1, 5 and 6, direct and indirect disability discrimination.
In what areas am I protected from discrimination?
The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 protects a person with disability in the following areas:
employment – getting a job, the terms and conditions of a job, training, promotion and dismissal
education – enrolling or studying in a course at a private or public school, college or university
accommodation and land – renting or buying a house or unit
getting or using services – such as banking and insurance services, services provided by government departments, transport or telecommunication services, professional services like those provided by lawyers, doctors or tradespeople, services provided by restaurants, shops or entertainment venues
sport – to participate in a sporting activity
clubs and incorporated associations – to be accepted as a member
accessing public places or premises – such as parks, government offices, restaurants, hotels or shopping centres.
Reference: Disability Discrimination Act 1992, Part two, Prohibition of disability discrimination.
When is discrimination not against the law?
Discrimination may not be against the law in some situations, such as when a situation imposes an unjustifiable hardship on another person. For example, declining the employment of a person with hearing impairment in a call centre responsible for taking phone calls. As taking phone calls is an inherent requirement of the job, the person cannot perform the job requirements.
State anti-discrimination legislation also has exceptions where discrimination is not against the law in specific circumstances.
Reference: Disability Discrimination Act 1992, Part one, 11 and Part two, 21A and 21B.
Where can I make a complaint about discrimination?
You can make a complaint about disability discrimination to the Australian Human Rights Commission, no matter where you live in Australia.
You can also get help from state and territory anti-discrimination bodies and make complaints to them.
How much does it cost to make a complaint about discrimination?
It does not cost anything to make a complaint about discrimination.
What topics is the Royal Commission interested in hearing about?
The scope of the Disability Royal Commission is broad. The Commissioners have been asked to consider the violence, abuse and neglect of people with disability, and their exploitation, across all settings and contexts, including schools, workplaces, homes and hospitals.
The Commission's definitions of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation are set out on its website, and the full Terms of Reference are also available on the website (in the Letters Patent).
Who does the Royal Commission want to hear from?
The Disability Royal Commission wants to hear from all Australians about their experiences of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability.
More information about engaging with the Royal Commission is available from its website.
How do I share my story with the Royal Commission?
There are lots of ways to share your story, or your child's story, with the Royal Commission.
You can make a submission – in writing, by email, by telephone, or by voice or video recording. You can make as many submissions as you would like.
You can also apply for a private session with a Commissioner, where you can share your story directly.
Various free supports are available to help you in preparing your submission. For more information about making a submission, contact CYDA or the Royal Commission directly.
What supports are available to help me?
There are free, independent support services available to help you or your family interact with the Royal Commission, or support you through any emotional challenges you are experiencing that are related to violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation.

The Royal Commission releases regular issues papers on various topics – these include suggested deadlines but they are not compulsory. You can still provide a submission after the suggested date.
How will my privacy be protected?
The Royal Commission will not make individual submissions public on its website, at hearings or through other activities of the Commission unless consent is provided by the person making the submission. You can make confidential submissions if you wish.
Before making a confidential submission, or for any other questions about confidentiality, please contact Your Story Disability Legal Support for free, independent legal advice.
When will the Royal Commission end?
The Royal Commission runs until 2022. The Commissioners have been asked to provide their final report to the Commonwealth Government by 29 April 2022.
What is the Royal Commission's interest in education and learning?
Education and learning is a key area of inquiry for the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability (the Royal Commission). The right to education is not only a right of every child and young person with disability, but it is also critical to achieving social transformation for people with disability through empowerment, inclusion and the unlocking of human potential.
The Australian Coalition for Inclusive Education has developed a fact sheet to assist people looking to engage with the Royal Commission on the topic of education and learning.

Where is the latest information about the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) website is regularly updated with new information. Visit the NDIS website.
You can also contact the NDIS directly by phone or contact Early Childhood Early Intervention providers, Local Area Coordinators, or NDIS through the NDIS directory.
What is the duration of an NDIS plan?
The NDIS plan length can vary depending on the participant circumstances. For children and young participants is common to have a twelve month NDIS plan due to the likely changes of support needs as the child grows.
For participants with support needs that are unlikely to change, you can request a plan duration of up to three years. If the participant's circumstances change they can request a plan review.
Longer plan durations of up to 3 years
How long does it take to have an NDIS plan approved for children aged 0 - 6 years?
The pathway for children aged 0-6 is called the Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) pathway. To reduce the waiting periods for children aged between 0 - 6 years who have been found eligible for the NDIS and have been waiting more than 50 days, the NDIS has introduced a six months interim plan with a value of $10,000 for participants who are not categorised as complex. At the end of this plan a full NDIS plan will replace this interim plan with no gaps in between plans.
If the child is transferring from an existing program outside of the NDIS, the interim six months plan will support the current funding levels. If the current funding of the existing program is less than $10,000, the child will still receive the $10,000 standardised interim plan for up to six months.
Reference: Children to get faster access to NDIS supports
How can I prepare for a planning meeting?
An NDIS planning meeting is an opportunity to discuss how the NDIS participant is progressing with their goals, what is working well and what needs to be changed or added. Being prepared for your planning meeting or plan review will assist in helping develop the new plan for the child or young person. You can have a friend, family member or advocate with you in the meeting to support you. Here are some tips on what you can bring/prepare:
Reports or assessments from therapies or allied health providers to show how the participant is progressing and working to achieve their goals. This may be good for the continuity of goals or the creation of new ones. It is often best to request reports in advance at least six weeks before your plan review meeting.
Any information about a new diagnosis or disability changes
Your thoughts on the current goals and whether you need to add new ones. The goals can be short term or long term. It is good to have broad goals to allow you to use supports more flexibly.
If possible, quotes or a list of costs of what you are currently using or need e.g. continence products.
Think about new activities or skills you would like to gain e.g. learn how to cook to improve your independence skills
A calendar of your current routine or daily activities and supports needed that are disability-related.
A Carer statement, which is the document where you can describe all the caring responsibilities and support you already have or may need to support the participant, family situation. This could include a parent with disability or family with multiple children with disability, the impact of participant disability on the carer and their family, and whether you require training for the carer role.
Whether your current plan management is working, for example agency or plan managed or or self-management

What does the NDIS fund and what do education systems fund?
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) has information on the NDIS and education and what the NDIS funds and what the education systems funds. The NDIS funds disability-related supports for the student. Education systems fund schools, teachers, curriculum support, aids and equipment to make curriculums accessible, and a range of other educational supports.
Visit NDIS and education page for more information.
I am not happy with my child NDIS plan, what should I do?
You can request an internal review of your child NDIS plan. You must request this review within the three months of the notification of the decision. There are different forms to request an internal review:
Visit one of the NDIA offices
Written request to NDIA to GPO Box 700, Canberra ACT 2601
You can complete an application for a review of a decision however is not mandatory. It is advisable to collect evidence of how the decision was wrong or is affecting your child to support your request. The NDIA will review your request and will confirm, vary or substitute the original decision.
If you are still unsatisfied with the outcome of the internal review you can apply for an external review with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). You can represent yourself or may want assistance with your review, visit the NDIS Appeals Supports.

Can someone apply to the National Redress Scheme more than once?
No. An individual can only make one application for redress under the Redress Scheme, even if there was more than one instance of abuse. This is why it is important to speak with people who can assist you with your application. Please call or email us for more information, or contact knowmore, the free legal advisory service.
Can someone under 18 apply for the National Redress Scheme?
An individual can submit an application as long as they will turn 18 before 30 June 2028.

After you turn 18, the National Redress Scheme team will contact you again to ask if you want to proceed with your application or withdraw it. If you choose to proceed, your application will then be assessed. Offers may differ from the preliminary assessment as individual circumstances may change.
Individuals must be 18 years or older to accept an offer of redress.
I'm not sure if I'd like to apply, or if I'm eligible. Where can I find out more?
It is normal to feel nervous, confused or distressed about the idea of applying to the National Redress Scheme. There is information on the Scheme's website for people who are thinking about applying, or you can contact us for some preliminary information and a referral.
The application process has been designed with the intention to not cause further distress, but there still might be times when this process may be difficult. Free, confidential support services are available to help you before, during and after applying.
How do I know if an organisation has joined the National Redress Scheme?
For you to access redress, the institution or organisation responsible for the abuse must have joined the National Redress Scheme. The list of institutions that have joined the Scheme, or intend to join, is updated regularly. For more information please visit the Redress Scheme website.
How can I get some legal advice about my options about the National Redress Scheme?
knowmore is an independent service giving free legal advice to survivors of abuse by providing them with information about the justice and redress options that may be available to them.

If you do not agree with the outcome you can request a review. You need to apply for a review within six months of the date of the letter explaining the outcome. For more information please visit the Redress Scheme website.
Will my redress payments impact my income support payments?
Are redress payments counted as income by Centrelink?
Redress payments are not counted as income for the purpose of any pension or benefit under the Social Security Act 1991, the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986, and the income tax assessment act. This includes pensions and benefits such as the Age Pension, JobSeeker, Disability Support Pension and Family Tax Benefit.
This means a redress payment will not be counted as income for the purposes of calculating a Centrelink pension or benefit. However, the redress payment may be counted as an asset (see below for more information).
For people who already receive a Centrelink pension or benefit, this means they do not have to report the redress payment as income to Centrelink.
Are redress payments counted as assets by Centrelink?
A redress payment may be counted as an asset for the purpose of calculating a person's pension or benefit. This is because the balance of a person's bank account is considered an asset.
A redress payment may also be included as a liquid asset for the 'liquid assets test waiting period' for people claiming Jobseeker, Youth Allowance or Austudy.
The liquid assets test waiting period is the amount of time a person has to wait before receiving one of the above payments if they have funds that are readily available to them. The period can vary from one week to 13 weeks, depending on the amount of the person's assets and their personal situation.
In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the Government has allowed a temporary exemption from the liquid assets test waiting period for six months from 25 March 2020. This means people applying for a Centrelink pension or benefit will no longer have to wait to receive their payment, even if they have liquid assets such as a redress payment.
Are redress payments taxed?
No personal income tax is not deducted from redress payments. This means people who receive a redress payment will not need to declare it to the Australian Taxation Office as taxable income.
What happens if a redress payment is gifted?
If a person gives all or part of their redress payment to another person, then the amount given could be taxable income. It could, if that recipient is on a Centrelink payment, pension or benefit, also be considered as income and also an asset for Centrelink payments, pensions or benefits.
How do I get my documents certified?
The NRS need copies of your identification so they can assist you with things like requesting your records. To do this, they need copies that show your name, signature and a photo of you, if possible). A 'certified copy' is a copy of an original document. A qualified person must authorise (or stamp) the copy to prove it is a true copy of the original.
Below are links for each state and territory that explain how to do that:
West Australia


son of James Bensley of "Killarney" in O'Connell St, Parramatta. He joined the forces 18 Sept 1916 and arrived in France early in 1917. On the 26 September 1917 he was wounded in action for the second time, on this occasion it was gun shot wounds to his left arm and right leg. After a long period of convalescence in England he was finally discharged as medically unfit 11 April 1919.

Automobiles are one of the most popular forms of transportation in the world. They carry people and goods alike, and they are a great way to travel for pleasure. The automobile industry has transformed the landscape of the United States, and continues to make a major impact on the lives of its citizens.
While the term "automobile" is used to describe many different types of vehicles, it is often ambiguous. Motorcycles are not considered automobiles, and they are not necessarily car-like. A motorcycle has three wheels, while an automobile has four.
Automakers also create new designs, and the industry is undergoing massive change. For example, Honda's global production network will be expanded in order to improve supply chain efficiency. It will also reduce the number of trim variations for its global models, and introduce more common parts. Moreover, electrified vehicles will dilute margins in its core business segment. However, Honda management believes that margins will increase over time, especially in the light and medium motorcycle categories.
Modern automobiles are a highly technological system, incorporating thousands of components. This is made possible through research and development by automakers. These manufacturers also employ scientists to further improve the vehicle's performance, emissions, safety, and body and chassis.
During the mid-Victorian era, bicycle builders Ernest Michaux and Sylvester Howard Roper developed a self-propelled contraption that was similar to the modern automobile. But in 1884, Edward Butler constructed the first commercially-produced three-wheeler, which had a horizontal single-cylinder gasoline engine.
Throughout the twentieth century, automakers were forced to conform to higher standards in order to protect consumers. In addition, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was given authority to enforce safety standards and recall defective vehicles. By the 1980s, the U.S. auto industry was facing major financial difficulties. To help them, the government bailed out Chrysler Corporation and provided loans to Ford and General Motors.
As a result of the government's actions, automakers were able to recover ground lost to foreign competitors. Today, one-quarter of all passenger cars in the world are produced in the U.S. and the Big Three have 90 percent of the market.
After the 1970s, when oil shortages triggered a price spike in gasoline, U.S. citizens began to turn to imported autos. Japanese automakers quickly gained a reputation for higher quality. Due to the quota system that the U.S. and Japan had negotiated, the prices of Japanese cars were raised.
However, as the demand for automobiles grew, the market became increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few companies. The industry shifted from the domestic to the global market. At the same time, the automobile was becoming the primary family transportation. With the rise in per capita income, demand for automobiles in the U.S. rose dramatically.
By the 1990s, the American auto industry was losing ground to the Japanese and European automakers. That trend continued in the early 2000s, when the auto industry was facing a tumultuous decade. However, in the past few years, the auto industry has recovered.

On the geological structure of the isolated northern Tien Shan region of the Caledonian orogeny, Southern Tien Shan - the Hercynian folding and is located between the Mid-Tien Shan - Caledonian-Hercynian orogeny.
Northern Tien Shan region has a broad development of pre-Paleozoic and Lower Paleozoic igneous and sedimentary-volcanic formations. Archean-Proterozoic crystalline basement form large blisters and have a capacity of up to 5-14 km. In the early Paleozoic (Cambrian-Ordovician)-region is a complex geosynclinal system comprises a series of grooves and ridges. For the Northern Tien Shan Caledonides by linear (sublatitudinal) the type of fold and many flaws. Caledonian folded structures are separated by deep faults. Strongly represented penetration of Caledonian age - basic and ultrabasic (stage on deflections), plagiogranite-granodiorite-monzonite (phase formation rannekaledonskih buoyancy) and granitoid (orogenic type). In the northern Tien Shan are known deposits and numerous occurrences of non-ferrous and rare metals. Most of them are associated with the Jungpaläozoikum magmatism, although manifestations of an ancient Caledonian and metallogeny (copper, tin, molybdenum, etc.).

"There's no end": Carrie Bickmore on grief and moving forward.
"I don't think there is ever any end point." Carrie Bickmore on the grief of losing her first husband.
There wasn't a dry eye in the house when Carrie Bickmore made her now-famous acceptance speech at the 2015 Logies.
The Project host used her win to raise awareness of brain cancer, the cruel disease that took her first husband Greg Lange.
Six years after his death, Bickmore says the sense of loss hasn't gone anywhere.
"I often read headlines about my new life and how I have moved forward and it amuses me, because anyone who has suffered grief will tell you it is not like that," she told The Weekly Review.
Bickmore says she has now found a way to accept the past as part of her present.
"My past will always be with me, it shaped who I am today and I wouldn't want a world where Greg wasn't part of it. I look at my son and I see Greg," she said.
The pair were married in 2005, before having son Oliver in 2007. In February last year, Bickmore gave birth to daughter Evie with partner and former The Project producer Chris Walker.
The 35 year old also opened up about how her headline-making Logies speech that led the founding of Carries Beanies 4 Brain Cancer almost didn't happen.
It was only when a friend asked if she had a speech ready as she was the favourite to win that Bickmore realised she should probably prepare something.
"So I sat there for an hour and I am, like, what am I going to talk about that is actually going to resonate with people? The brain cancer journey of Greg and I has shaped so much of my life. This [the Logie nomination] was about celebrating my work life, but my working life sat side by side a really challenging personal life," she said.
Only immediate family and one close friend were privy to the plan.
"I just kept it to myself really and to be honest I didn't know if I would have the strength to do it. Even as they made the announcement all I could think was 'Do I take the beanie or not, do I take the beanie or not'," she said.
Carrie's Beanies 4 Brain Cancer is aiming to raise $1,000,000 for brain cancer research through the sale of its beanies. So far it has raised $458,000.

But with these preventive measures, you can avoid costly repairs.
As temperatures dip, how you do household tasks — and the kinds you do — have to change in ways you probably don't realize. "Doing basic chores the right way can save you thousands of dollars down the road," says Brian Peppel, co-founder of HandyGuys.com. Here are the mistakes you're likely making and the solutions to avoid coughing up dough for a pro later.
Mistake 1: Not keeping pipes warm.
If no water flows from your faucet on a frosty morning, you may have a frozen pipe. "It often occurs if there's a pipe that's on an exterior wall in the kitchen, against an unheated crawlspace or exposed to cold air through cracks and holes," says Jodi Marks, licensed contractor and author of Fix It in a Flash. Expanding ice causes the pipes to split and leak when the ice melts.
Solution: During long cold snaps, open those cabinets a crack to let warmer indoor air reach the pipes. Or slip foam insulation sleeves, found at home stores, over pipes that you can access. If a pipe is frozen, open the faucet and direct a hairdryer toward the icy section. Heat until there's a steady flow of water, says Marks.
Mistake 2: Letting gutter downspouts empty right next to the house.
"Water that dumps near your foundation can seep into your basement or crawlspace," says Peppel. And that can cause structural damage to the house. Signs your house already has this problem: a musty smell in your basement, a white powdery substance on basement walls (from minerals leaching out of the concrete as the water comes through), and damp carpet or drywall in a finished basement.
Solution: Clean gutters and downspouts in the fall so water flows where it's supposed to. Add a length of downspout or a splash block so that water from your gutters is directed at least four to six feet away from your foundation. Also, rake mulch so that it slopes down and away from the house and foundation instead of letting it direct water toward the house.
Mistake 3: Letting window wells fill with snow.
Properly constructed window wells allow for drainage away from the house. But if your window well has leaves, debris, or snow, melting snow can leak through the window into your home, says Peppel.
Solution: Clean your window wells out each fall, and shovel out snow so it doesn't pile up. Or invest in an inexpensive plastic window well cover that keeps leaves, snow, and even animals out of the space year-round, suggests Peppel.
Mistake 4: Not shutting off outside faucets.
The faucets you use to water plants or wash your car can freeze if you don't shut the water to them. By spring, you may have leaks because the pressure from expanding ice can crack the pipes, says Marks.
Solution: Look for the water shutoff valve, usually a brass, lever-style handle located in your basement or crawlspace near the faucet. Turn it until it doesn't move, about 90 degrees. Open the faucet outside until remaining water drips out. Some faucets have an indoor drain (capped by a small cover); let water out of there, too. To further protect against freezing, place plastic or foam faucet covers on outdoor faucets, says Marks.
Mistake 5: Burning unseasoned wood in your fireplace.
Wood that hasn't been properly seasoned or dried will smoke heavily when you try to light it. "Moisture cools the fire so that more gases condense in your fireplace," says John Crouch, director of public affairs with the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association. That extra creosote buildup can cause chimney fires.
Solution: Burn only wood that's completely dry and not freshly cut; you should see lots of cracks at the ends of split lots. While seasoned hardwoods such as oak or apple burn best, it's fine to burn soft woods such as pine or fir if they're completely dry. Or use fabricated woodwax firelogs.
Mistake 6: Using harsh de-icing products on your driveway and walks.
"Some de-icing chemicals can attack the cement paste which bonds concrete together," says Patrick Reardon, executive director of the Portland Cement Association, Northeast Region. "You'll see flaking as the concrete disintegrates."
Solution: "Ideally, don't use de-icers on concrete and masonry," says Reardon. "Sprinkling sand is adequate most of the time." Look for play sand or traction sand, which contains more grit, at home stores. It's also gentler on pet's paws and plants. Every few years, use a concrete sealer to extend the lifespan of your drive and walks. If you absolutely must de-ice, choose the least damaging products: sodium chloride (rock salt) or calcium chloride. And use sparingly, advises Reardon.
Mistake 7: Using a metal snow shovel.
"Even one with a metal edge can deposit tiny metal filings on the surface of your drive or walks," says Reardon. Over time, these metal pieces can rust and mar the appearance of the concrete. Stamped concrete (which has an embossed pattern on the surface) or colored concrete (which is designed to look like brickwork or stone) also scratches easily when using metal or metal-edged shovels.
Solution: Use a plastic snow shovel to prevent dinging and scratching your drive and walks. On stamped or colored concrete, use sand, not chemical de-icers, for traction. If you hire someone to plow, ask if they could use a rubber-tipped blade instead of metal.

KSU announces Dr. Joe Moffett as the new Director of Faculty Development/QEP
Posted on November 20, 2016 in Campus News, Community, Faculty Spotlight, Other News Stories
Kentucky State University is excited to announce that Dr. Joe Moffett, Assistant Professor of English in the Division of Literature, Languages, and Philosophy, will become the Director of Faculty Development/Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) effective immediately.
One of the many plans the Pennsylvania native has in store for the University are monthly faculty brown-bag sessions, which will be held at noon on Tuesdays in Room 419 Hathaway Hall. The event will kick off on November 23 with Dr. Tierra Freeman. The workshops will allow faculty members to share the work they are doing in the classroom with students or their research projects, he said.
"I would also like to offer workshops on topics such as legal issues and financial aid for our faculty," he said. "I want to encourage more dialogue on campus and more of a sense of community among faculty."
The 45-minute sessions will allow faculty to discuss their projects with a Q&A session to follow. Dr. Moffett also wants to explore the possibility of organizing common reading and creating a support group for faculty members working on research articles.
Dr. Moffett is a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University. He received his Master's and a Ph.D. in English from West Virginia University. For the last two years, he has served as Chair of Academic Policies Committee in Faculty Senate. He is the author of three monographs (The Search for Origins in the Twentieth-Century Long Poem, West Virginia UP, 2007; Understanding Charles Wright, University of South Carolina UP, 2008; Mysticism in Postmodernist Long Poems, Lehigh UP, 2015) and his articles have appeared in a number of publications including Literature Interpretation Theory, The Journal of the Midwest Modern Language Association, The Southern Literary Journal, and ANQ.
Dr. Moffett has conducted peer reviews for The Explicator, Cengage, Palgrave / Macmillan, and Lehigh UP. He has also served as a guest editor for Genre: Forms of Discourse and Culture and for five years edited the Kentucky Philological Review, for which he was awarded a 2016 Distinguished Member Award from the Kentucky Philological Association.
Other awards include a Professional Achievement Award from the University of Maryland-University College, Teacher of the Year (Kentucky Wesleyan College), and research travel grants from Washington University in St. Louis.
Dr. Moffett also will work on the QEP, which is required by The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), the regional body for the accreditation of degree-granting higher education institutions in the Southern States.

Fun And Free Online Games For The Hardworking Individual
A lot has changed since the days of Solitaire and Minesweeper, yet many people still only play those slow, boring games. There is a whole world of free online games out on the Internet! One of the most popular sources of free online games, is MSN.com. MSN.com has over 50 free online games that you can play straight from your browser without any downloads. Now you have at your fingertips a variety of puzzle games, action games, word games, board games, trivia games, and even newer versions of old favorites like Solitaire! On situs judi onlin bri 24jam you get a wide variety of card games. You can enjoy these games online as you play them with you friends. You can even earn some money of these games if you are a really good player.
Maybe you're not in the mood for an action game, but you want something that makes you think while you play. The free online games you would be interested in are clue games, puzzle games, word games and trivia games. The most popular clue games are Inspector Parker and A Series of Unfortunate Events. Both of these games involve a board that features several characters and several weapons. You will be given a series of clues to help you figure out where the weapons and characters belong on the board.
Once you have figured that out, the game will show you which character has used which weapon to commit an act. These online games start out pretty easy but get harder as you move along the game. They will definitely keep you on your toes. Puzzle games like Zuma or Bejeweled are another type of game that requires a bit of strategy when you play. Puzzle games usually involved the player making choices about where to move an object or where to place an object in order to complete a puzzle and move on to the next level. It can take a few seconds or a few minutes, much like clue games. If clue and puzzle games are too involved, try a word or trivia game.
One of the most popular word games is also available as an online game…Scrabble. However, MSN has put a spin on this popular word game by making it more than just a board and tile game. In one version, you get a single rack and have to make as many words as possible from that rack. In another version, all of the scrabble letters appear jumbled on your screen and you have to connect them to make words and bring new tiles down. Like word games, MSN's online trivia games are another way to exercise your brain power.
MSN has a variety of trivia games that is constantly changing to different topics. In the month of November, they have Harvest trivia that asks you questions about the season as well as a very fun One Hit Wonder trivia that tests your musical prowess. For those fans of Jeopardy, take heart because MSN has a free online Jeopardy game in a multiple choice answer format where you'll never get the same category twice. There is even "Double Jeopardy" and a final round where you can risk all of your money to win the big prize!
When you're not at work or school and you have more time to play online games, MSN has a large selection of action games to keep you entertained. You can play a popular Baking action game like Diner Dash or Cake Mania. In these games, you play a character that has to save their restaurant by serving their customers and keeping them happy. You can upgrade your store, upgrade your characters and buy new appliances on your quest to make your store the best place to go. If baking doesn't suit you, you could play Granny in Paradise, an action game where you play Granny and you must rescue kittens from increasingly difficult levels.
With over 50 free online games, I can't list them all. The best way to find out what you might like is to go to MSN.com yourself and click on the games area. Each of the games will be listed, and if you select one, it will show you screen shots and directions so that you know how to play the game. With everything from Bejeweled to Cake Mania to even Jeopardy and Shape Solitaire, MSN.com is the free online gaming website for you.
