And Gingerbread Baby Cakes are this week's Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Julia recipe.
I didn't have baby sized cake pans.
Luckily though, the recipe says you can also use it to make a 10 inch sized gingerbread cake.
But I do have two x 6 inch cake pans and they worked perfectly!
So I guess I made… Gingerbread Adolescent Cakes???
The first cake I kept simple, just a dusting of sugar and served with sweetened whipped cream.
I think the twist of lemon added a whole new dimension of flavour to this cake.
I'm not a ginger lover, never have been.
However I've linked the smell of ginger in baked goods to Christmas.
So baking this cake, kick started the Christmas season for me!
Gingerbread seems to go hand in hand with cold weather and snowmen.
However I live in Australia, so this gingerbread cake was made in sweltering heat with lizards hanging out my bathroom window and the creek alongside our house in full tropical bloom!
Not being a ginger lover, I think I liked what this cake represented more than the cake itself!
However, if you are a ginger lover, try this recipe for yourself!
Karen, from Karen's Kitchen Stories is this week's Tuesdays with Dorie host and has the full recipe on her site.

Your cakes look beautiful! Love the idea of lemon icing. I know what you mean about the weather, too. Even now living in Arizona in the desert southwest of the US, it's sometimes difficult to wrap my head around the holidays when I'm running my errands in shorts and a t-shirt!
Your cakes really look divine. Beautiful photos!
How pretty! Love the icing idea.
We were in the mountains this weekend and it definitely felt like Christmas up there as we traipsed through the snow.
Glad you were a good sport and made the cake–even in the heat. It smelled wonderful but was a little to molasses tasting for my group.
Awww, your cake is so pretty! I reckon lemon icing was the way to go too.
Your cakes look absolutely beautiful. Great job. Adolescent cakes….too funny….were they tempermental? heehee.
Love the idea of the lemon icing. Yum. I can eat gingerbread any time of year, even in the sweltering heat. Unfortunately, this particular gingerbread wasn't my fave.
That is one picture perfect cake! The drizzled icing looks lovely.
Wow, that iced gingerbread cake looks terrific! And I totally understand what you mean about this cake representing the Christmas season even if the weather doesn't feel that way. It's been in the 80's (F) where I live, so it's nice to have this seasonal reminder! Lovely job!
Such very pretty and elegant presentations of your Gingerbread Cakes! The lemon icing looks and sounds like a fabulous idea – I am sure that the lemon flavor pairs very well with the spicy Gingerbread Cake!
Love the look of the cake, especially with the gold.
Gorgeous presentation. Wish I had your weather. Great job!
Your cakes look beautiful; no one would ever guess that they were baked in sweltering heat. The lemon glaze is a great idea.
I thought of lemon glaze but I only had one lemon. Next time. Great pictures!
Great pictures. The size seems to be perfect for these cakes. I like the lemon glaze idea.
Your cakes look so festive and beautiful. Perhaps serving them with ice cream would make it more tolerable in the heat. Great post.
These look delicious and the lemon icing is inspired!
those look super festive, even if it's hot outside. i think that lizard has his eye on the lemon glazed cake!
Your cakes are so pretty. I like the idea of a glaze. I too was not so fond of the flavor and I actually love ginger. Think it must have been the coffee, cocoa, and really strong molasses flavor.
Looks so beautiful!!! I love your icing!!!
I agree with you, just for ginger lover and strong flavors!!!!
Your cakes look simply beautiful!! I would have a really hard time doing Christmas in sweltering heat! Glad I live in a place where it gets really cold in December!
Your cakes are so beautiful!

Q: Adding type for useRef on ScrollView react-native Looking to create a ref to a ScrollView component like so: const ref = useRef<ScrollView>(null); (or something to this effect) essentially I need access to the flashScrollIndicators method like this:
<ScrollView
  ref={ref}
  onContentSizeChange={() => ref?.current?.flashScrollIndicators()}>
  {children}
</ScrollView>

The code does work in my app however typescripts definitions for ScrollView doesn't seem to include flashScrollIndicators?
I'm getting Property 'flashScrollIndicators' does not exist on type 'ScrollView'.ts(2339) looking through the types I can see SectionList and Flatlist so unsure if this is an bug with the definitions or just me not using it properly.

A: Since the flashscrollindicators does exist on ScrollView in documentation (and works in app) https://reactnative.dev/docs/scrollview#flashscrollindicators I assume this is bug in type definition.
I think the cleanest solution is to define your own ScrollViewRef using intersection.
import { ScrollView } from 'react-native';

export type ScrollViewRef = ScrollView & {
    flashScrollIndicators: () => void;
};

then use this type to define the ref
const scrollViewRef = React.useRef<ScrollViewRef | null>(null);

A: After some research, I couldn't find any official documentation or blog post with the correct solution but declaring the ref using ScrollView itself worked for me. So you can do something like:
const scrollViewRef = React.useRef<ScrollView>(null);

And then autocomplete will take care of the rest, hope it helps!

"I'm the star," Eric said, scratching his head and facing the inquiring man.
"I'm the star," Eric repeated, patiently.
Realizing that Eric's patience was gone, the interested Pastor walked away, still wondering what part Eric was playing in our annual Christmas play.
Sunday evening, The Special Gathering of Melbourne had our annual play and cantata. "A Florida Christmas" is a playful enactment of the Christmas events of 2000 years ago. One song brings tears to those of us who have learned the music. Nevertheless, most of the music and the play is joyfully planned to be fun.
While the song that introduces the wise men was sung, Eric's part was to carry the star guiding the wise men to the Savior. As he had reported to the inquiring pastor, Eric was the star.
After the performance, Pastor Inman came to me laughing about his mistake.
Linda G. Howard is the best-selling and award-winning author of four books, including MOTHERS ARE PEOPLE, TOO and THE SECRET LIFE OF A HOUSEWIFE. Currently, she serves as area director of The Special Gathering, a ministry within the mentally challenged community.

On Oct. 8, ETSU's HEROES hosted their annual drag show and costume contest known as the Goth Prom.
The show started with professional drag queens performing theatrics such as dance numbers, songs, and scenes from various movies.
Early in the night, the crowd was greeted with Jack Sparrow, Tiffany and Chucky, and a dance performance to the song "Blood" by In This Moment.
The night was full of laughter and creepy costumes, spectacular drag king and queens performing.
The winner of the costume contest was a doll.
More drag performances ensued: Anna Tomical with a Hannibal Lecter skit, complete with fake blood, and a dance by Evan Masters where his shirt came off to reveal glowing lights around his torso.
A spinning, flashing baton twirling performance by Miss Cherry Popped (Ben Schaller, president of HEROES, said he was lucky enough to get to perform with the local drag queens) was a real treat.
Not trans identified, Schaller was still excited to perform at the Goth Prom.
"I just had the pleasure of helping in the organization of the largest HEROES event in a few years," Schaller said.
Being transgender, trans identified, or just trans can be difficult.
Many are introverted so it's often hard for them to open up to their families, friends, and the public.
A major part of HEROES is to educate, hence the name: Helping to Educate Regarding Orientation, Equality, and the Spectrum.
"We are ETSU's Queer/Straight Alliance," said Schaller.
This month, HEROES will be hosting various talks explaining in more detail what asexuality, intersex, bisexual/pansexual, and trans identified individuals really are.
O'Hara said gender expression on campus gives her hope.
HEROES meets on Monday at 7 p.m., Roger Stout, Room 120.
Anyone who is willing or wants to help make the ETSU campus "a friendlier climate for LGBTQIA+ folk" is welcome to attend.

Landing Forms: Why We're Building a New Paradigm to Combine Landing Pages with Forms
22 August 2018 / paperform
Let's be honest: creating traditional landing pages can be an enormous pain in the ass.
Building lengthier forms that don't look like they were created in Microsoft Paint on a Windows 95 computer isn't particularly easy either (looking at you, Google Forms).
The simple fact is, landing pages and forms are, traditionally, not easy to create, difficult to match to company branding, and not always easy for customers to navigate.
And even though it seems like there should be overlap between the two, you usually have to use different products to create landing pages and forms.
This is perplexing.
There are times when you want a landing page to function more as a form, and vice versa. Why not have a single product that brings the two together instead of trying using clunky landing page builders and creating forms that look like something straight out of MySpace?
But we're getting ahead of ourselves a bit. Before we explain just how Paperform works, let's take a stroll down the dark alley of landing page and form builders.
Problems With Landing Page Builders
There's no shortage of landing page builders out there. There's Unbounce and Instapage and LeadPages and Hubspot and Thrive Leads and dozens of others. It's a buffet of sorts.
But just like eating at a buffet leaves you queasy, unsatisfied, and questioning the general direction of your life, using landing page builders is often an unpleasant experience. There are a number of reasons for this.
Landing Pages Only Do One Thing
Landing pages are designed to get people to perform a single action, whether that's entering their email address, clicking on an offer, or sending money to a deported Saudi Arabian prince who wants to share his fortune (hint: never do this).
In light of this, trying to create landing pages that can do more than a single function is usually pretty difficult.
In fact, this is why many people end up using complex combinations of landing pages, form builders, payment gateways, and integration software like Zapier to make everything work together. The reductionist simplicity of landing page builders forces them to build elaborate, overly complex, digital Rube Goldberg machines.
Clunky Back-End Editors
Most landing page builders feature drag-and-drop editors which, in theory, let you easily place whatever objects you want on your landing page. Except that they often don't work very well.
You try to drop a Call-To-Action button at the bottom of the page and, for some inexplicable reason, it ends up in the right sidebar. You try to add a photo of yourself and it ends up getting squished to the point where it looks like you've contracted a strange, flesh-eating disease. Or you try to add in a header after you've laid out most of the page, and suddenly all the other page elements are different colors or sizes.
They're Time Consuming
No matter how many templates landing page builders offer, there's no escaping the fact that they're still really time consuming to use. You have to endlessly fiddle around with colors to ensure they match your brand, replace all the bland stock photos, change the copy from promoting a networking event for cowboys to your actual offer, and add and remove elements you don't need.
While this in and of itself may not be a huge issue, when you combine this with the clumsiness of the back-end editors, you can spend hours trying to create the simplest of landing pages. You've got better things to spend your time on.
They Often Require Technical Knowledge
Depending on the complexity of what you're trying to accomplish, you often need a degree of technical knowledge when setting up landing pages. You have to figure out how to integrate the page with your email provider, the best way to connect your website and the landing page, how to get the information from the landing page service into spreadsheets, etc.
You also may need to know HTML to fully customize the design and layout of the page.
Unless you have significant experience setting up landing pages, trying to make it all work can be incredibly intimidating and extremely frustrating. Instead of working on what matters, you end up spending hours trying to sort out the technical details of getting everything connected and designed properly.
Problems With Form Builders
Now that we've demonstrated why getting a colonoscopy is often preferable to using landing page software, let's move on to the problems of traditional form builders.
The Forms Look Terrible
Most form builders produce forms that look like they just got back from a hard night of drinking. They don't match your branding, can be difficult for users to complete, and don't usually offer the customization you need.
The end results are:
Your brand reputation is hurt because of the sheer ugliness of the forms
The form completion rate is low because it's confusing and not easy to fill in
You have to follow up with people because you couldn't collect all the information you needed
The Forms Feel Unsecure
As you probably know, information security is a pretty big deal these days. With data breaches and user privacy violations constantly making headlines, people want to be sure that information entered into a form is secure and won't be used for nefarious purposes.
Forms that look bad don't match your company branding, are difficult to complete, and feel anything but secure. They make the user feel like he's handing his wallet to a guy on the street selling watches from the trunk of his car.
You want your website visitors to feel confident that any information they enter is both private and secure, and most form builders make it difficult to create this feel.
The Forms Are Not Interactive
Most form creation tools are only about collecting information. You enter your name, email address, blood type, name of your first born son, account numbers of your offshore bank accounts, and DNA type, and then...nothing.
You get sent to a generic, "Thanks for filling out the form, don't call us, we'll call you," web page. We've all had this experience, and we walk away hoping that somebody, somewhere received the information and will respond appropriately.
The bottom line is that when there are no interactive elements in a form, the user is left feeling:
Unsure of whether the information they submitted even matters to the company
Unsure of whether they properly filled in all the fields
Unsure whether the company will get back to them in a timely manner
Obviously, not the best look for a company.
Introducing The Landing Form: An All-In-One Solution
Can we all agree that things shouldn't be this difficult? We are on the verge of driverless cars, drones delivering Amazon packages, and voice recognition devices that do everything but cook gourmet meals for us. It shouldn't be so challenging to create landing pages, forms, or any combination of the two.
That's why we've worked tirelessly to create what we like to call "Landing Forms". From the beginning, our goal has been to create a software that brings together the best of both landing pages and forms, whilst also shedding all the off-putting things we mentioned above.
Hence, Paperform.
Instead of navigating clunky back-end editors, you can create landing forms like you would a document: by simply inserting text, questions, buttons, polls, and other media WHEREVER you want.
Instead of using drag-and-drop editors, which, as we mentioned, can be a glitchy nightmare, our form builder is free text (like a document). This makes it so much faster to create a page that meets your exact specifications. It also means you get a clear visual of what you're creating without having to select "preview" constantly... again, much faster.
Instead of sending people away from your website to complete forms, you can embed forms directly into any page of your website (yes, even as a pop-up) or even embed them to things like Medium articles; imagine writing a kick-ass post and including a payment option for your customer IN the article itself.
Additionally, Paperform makes it really simple to create a form or landing page with a strong company narrative. You can easily tell your company story through text, video, images, branded colors, and a number of other ways.
We wanted to make it dead-simple to tell your story, your way, using media that matches your brand. It shouldn't take a degree in computer science to design a landing page that matches your brand.
We've also focused heavily on making it simple to create truly beautiful forms that are a pleasure (if we can use that word) to interact with. It shouldn't take you hours to create forms that don't make your customers want to set their computers on fire. You should be able to easily build a form that fits your company aesthetic while also being easy for people to complete.
Are you a photographer who wants to set up photo sessions, take payments, as well as display a gallery of your favorite photos all on the same page? Not a problem.
Are you a real estate agent who wants to generate leads by gathering property information? You can do that too.
Or maybe you're an eCommerce seller who wants to sell products and also include video reviews of those products on the same page. That's easy with Paperform.
Are you starting to get the picture?
We simply believe that things shouldn't be so hard. Creating beautiful forms, landing pages, and combinations of the two shouldn't be a time-consuming, infinitely frustrating process.
You should be able to do it quickly so that you can get back to focusing on actually running your business.
So stop doing things the old-fashioned way. Stop trying to work with clunky landing page editors and form builders that make you want get out of business altogether and join a convent.
It's time for a new paradigm, where landing pages and form builders are on the same team. Paperform is proud to lead the way.

Diccionario de la Lengua Tarasca o de Michoacan/Aqui comienza el vocabulario en la lengua castellana y michoacana
Author: Gilberti, Maturino (1498?-1585) inscribed by editor
Publisher: Tipografia de la Oficina Impresora de Estampillas
Place: Mexico
518 pages with facsimiles and wood cuts. Folio. (13" x 9 1/4") bound in half leather with marbled boards with gilt lettering to spine. Compiled and re-impression under the direction of Antonio Penafiel. Inscribed by Penafiel. First published in 1559. Second edition limited to 200 copies of which this is number 5.
When the Franciscans arrived in Michoacan in 1525, they found a new challenge, the language of the natives of the region, whom they came to call Tarascans was different from other native languages of New Spain. Maturino Gilberti, a Franciscan friar whose skills in the Tarascan language exceeded those of their peers. When his works were printed it was the first attempt of a systematic analysis of the language, and his vocabulary is still the best known Tarascan dictionary. Prior to his arrival in the new world, very little is know, it is thought that he may have been born in 1498. but it could have been in 1507 or 8 in the city of Poitiers, France. He studied arts and theology at the University of Toulouse and came to New Spain in 1531, shortly after his ordination. Fray Alonso de la Rea, Michoacan's Franciscan chronicler of the seventeenth century, says Gilberti went directly to Michoacan. He quickly learned the language and was held in high admiration by the natives. It seems that his first publication was a Christian doctrine that came out in 1553. In 1556 we find Fray Gilberti in Tzintzuntzan, were Quiroga established the episcopal see and where indigenous Tzintzuntzans and other subjected Indians were forced in building the cathedral. Gilberti stood against Bishop Quiroga and the enslavement of the indigenous to build and pay for the cathedral. In the summer of 1558 Gilberti proposed several books to be printed in Mexico. He Had obtained approval for them by James Daciano, guardian (superior of the convent)of the Franciscans in Tzintzuntzan, in July. He must have acted quickly, because on August 10 received letters from Archbishop Alonso, and the Franciscan provincial authorizing the publication of his books. Within the same twelve month period the Viceroy Luis de Velasco gave his written approval. In accordance with such approvals he would published four books in Mexico during the course of less than one year. All were published at the press of Juan Pablo. It seems that Gilberti had thought that his grammar (Arte) and dictionary (vocabulary) were two parts of the same work. This is probably the reason why the dictionary does not have the usual written approvals, because the dictionary is mentioned in the letters to the principle of grammar. Gilberti died in Tzintzuntzan 1585.
Inscribed on half title, spine, hinges, edges and corners rubbed, corners bumped. Internally very good in good binding.


Naomi Parker Fraley, a California woman who posed for the famous "Rosie the Riveter" poster died Saturday, her family confirmed Monday. Fraley, who was 96 at the time of her death, posed for the picture while working at an Alameda, California factory in 1942. The famous picture, which showed Fraley flexing her arm with the caption "We can do it!" became an iconic feminist image. But for decades, Fraley was not identified as the model in the picture, and scholars mistakenly concluded that a different female factory worker had posed for the portrait. Fraley was only widely recognized as the real "Rosie the Riveter" in 2016, after scholar James J. Kimble published an article revealing the findings of a six-year investigation into Rosie's identity.

67's complete their unexpected demise with loss in Guelph
Updated: May 12, 2019 10:22 PM EDT
Brady Tkachuk says brother Matthew 'has the thickest skin I've ever seen'
Leafs need a win before break
TRAIKOS: Late-bloomer Dominik Kubalik has Calder Trophy potential
GUELPH — They shuffled down the hallway from the visitors dressing room at The Sleeman Centre near dinner time on Sunday, wearing their cowboy hats, playoff face paint smeared by sweat and tears and with eyes that were still red, seeking friends and family members waiting to console them in the main lobby.
It wasn't supposed to end this way for the Ottawa 67's. Even after the OHL final started to slip away from them, there was going to be a Game 7 back at TD Place, and still, quite likely, a trip to Halifax.
After establishing themselves as the best regular-season team in franchise history, then winning their first 14 games in the playoffs, these 67's were surely going to make it to the Memorial Cup for the sixth time. And who would dare bet against them winning their third?
All their hopes and dreams came to a swift and crushing end in Guelph, however. Despite owning a 2-0 lead in the series and a 2-0 lead in the final game, they couldn't seal the deal. Ultimately, the Storm eliminated the 67's in Game 6 by a thorough and convincing 8-3 final.
"It's tough to think about right now … I think it's going to be even worse later on," said Sasha Chmelevski, one of Ottawa's goal-scorers on this day. "But I'm very proud of the group we have. What we accomplished throughout the year. It's a very resilient, unselfish group.
"We're brothers for life."
The 67's actually lost their fourth consecutive game late in the second period, when they allowed three goals in a 74-second span. The Storm outburst broke open a 2-2 game and, even after Chmelevski scored on a 5-on-3 just before the last intermission, the 67's never really threatened in the third.
"I think we played the first 30 minutes really well," said 67's coach Andre Tourigny. "I think they had a real good pushback at some point in the middle of the second period. From there we had a tough time handling their 1-on-1 battles. They were holding on to pucks."
The 67's were outshot 39-26 on the day, and goalie Cedrick Andree was sharp while being tested 12 times in the first period, while Noel Hoefenmayer (on a wrist shot from outside the blue line) and Kody Clark (off a rebound on a power play) were giving them an early cushion.
A pivotal point occurred near the end of that opening 20-minute segment, when they were victimized by a bad call. Linesmen waved off what should have been an icing call against the Storm and ,with the play in the Ottawa end, 67's centre Mitchell Hoelscher took a slashing penalty.
Guelph's first goal, with Hoelscher in the box, was scored by Dmitri Samorukov, at the 51-second mark of the second.
"That's a momentum shifter there," Tourigny, who loudly and passionately expressed his dissatisfaction, said of the lineman's gaffe. "Tough calls will happen in a game, but that one for me was an easy one. For sure, I'm sour but you don't lose a series on one call. But that was not a good one."
Still up 2-1, the 67's had a couple of chances to swing the tide back in their favour. The first, when their top sniper, Tye Felhaber, slid a shot through the crease from just outside the blue paint.
"It just kind of bounced up on me and I missed it," said Felhaber. "It was a tough one."
A little later, Lucas Chiodo made a nice defensive zone play to start a 2-on-1 with Kyle Maksimovich. When Chiodo's shot was stopped, the rebound came out to Maksimovich, who hit the post with the open side.
"We had two grade-A scoring chances and I think that was the turning point in the game," said Tourigny. "From there, they score on theirs and the wave was a little bit too big at some point. We could not come back. We tried in the third period but it was too little, too late.
"I'm really proud about our effort. Our effort was there, our structure was there. Just at some point, it's a matter of execution, winning those little battles. They did a really good job. That's the name of the game."
If they can take any solace in losing the series after being up 2-0, the 67's can at least know this was the norm for Guelph. After sweeping the Kitchener Rangers in the opening round, the Storm fell behind 2-0 in each of the next three series.
Each time, they showed character to come back.
"It's indescribable," captain Isaac Ratcliffe said on the ice after doing a lap with the championship trophy. "Every memory from the past four years just hit me right now. Just the way these fans have stuck by our side for the last four years, the resiliency of this group … we're so excited to get this done right on home ice."
Ratcliffe, whose two goals and two assists all came in the second period, noted the Storm wasn't fazed by its 2-0 first-period deficit.
"We stayed strong, we stayed humble and we just wanted to stay with it," he said. "We've been there before and we did it again."
Echoing that confidence was Montreal Canadiens prospect Nick Suzuki, who had a goal and two assists.
"We just came back into the room and had a chat," he said of the first intermission. "We knew we were in it. We just needed to keep working.
"We had a tough start, but we had tough starts in most of the other series. We just battled back. This team never stops working."
While Chmelevski insisted the 67's never looked ahead further than the next game, it was only natural for them to feel confident about their chances of going to the Memorial Cup.
"We won 15 in a row, we were hot and we were feeling good about ourselves," said Felhaber.
"But we were always humble and we always stayed in the process. We just ran into a really good Guelph team and in playoffs, anything can happen.
"It's tough. We're such a close group and we had such a great season, but it to just come short is tough. You've got to look back on this season and be proud of it."

The majority of the Qantas Airbus A380 fleet will be grounded as demand falls
Qantas Group makes swingeing cuts to services as demand for travel craters
Qantas Group has announced further cuts to its international flying, reducing capacity by almost a quarter for the next six months.
The latest cuts follow the spread of the coronavirus into Europe and North America over the past fortnight, as well as its continued spread through Asia.
The spread has resulted in a sudden and significant drop in forward travel demand.
These additional changes will bring the total international capacity reduction for Qantas and Jetstar from five per cent to 23 per cent versus the same time last year and extend these cuts until mid-September 2020.
The biggest reductions remain focussed on Asia - now down 31 per cent compared with the same period last year.
Capacity reductions to the United States (down 19 per cent), the UK (down 17 per cent) and Trans-Tasman (down ten per cent) will also be made in line with forward booking trends.
Announcing the changes, Qantas Group chief executive, Alan Joyce, said: "In the past fortnight we've seen a sharp drop in bookings on our international network as the global coronavirus spread continues.
"We expect lower demand to continue for the next several months, so rather than taking a piecemeal approach we're cutting capacity out to mid-September.
"This improves our ability to reduce costs as well as giving more certainty to the market, customers and our people.
"We retain the flexibility to cut further or to put capacity back in as this situation develops."
Rather than exit routes altogether, Qantas will use smaller aircraft and reduce the frequency of flights to maintain overall connectivity.
This approach results in eight of the airline's largest aircraft, the Airbus A380, grounded until mid-September.
A further two A380s are undergoing scheduled heavy maintenance and cabin upgrades, leaving two of its A380s flying.
In response to strong customer demand for the direct Perth-London service, the existing Sydney-Singapore-London return service will be temporarily re-routed to become a Sydney-Perth-London service from April 20th.
The start of Qantas' new Brisbane-Chicago route will be delayed from April 15th to mid-September.
Jetstar will make significant cuts to its international network, including suspending flights to Bangkok and reducing flights from Australia to Vietnam and Japan by almost half.
Jetstar's daily Gold Coast to Seoul flight was suspended last week.
Domestically, Qantas and Jetstar capacity reductions will be increased from three per cent to five per cent through to mid-September 2020, in line with broader economic conditions.
In total, this is the equivalent of grounding 38 Qantas and Jetstar aircraft across the international and domestic network.
Given the reduced flying across the Qantas Group fleet, maintenance work will be brought forward where possible to make best use of this time.
Financial Impact
Qantas said it was taking decisive action to mitigate the significant adverse impact of coronavirus on demand, including longer range capacity cuts that improve the business' ability to reduce costs.
However, given the dynamic and uncertain nature of this situation, it is not possible to provide meaningful guidance at this time on the size of that impact on group earnings for the remainder of financial 2020.
In line with its financial framework the group is in a strong position, with low debt levels and a long debt maturity profile, $1.9 billion in cash plus a further $1 billion in undrawn facilities and $4.9 billion in unencumbered assets.
To help maintain this position in the face of current uncertainty, the board has decided to cancel the off-market buyback announced in February, which will preserve $150 million in cash.
The interim dividend of 13.5 cents per share will still be paid on April 9th.

If you have worked with me in the past and are comfortable writing a review, please do!
Hiring Kevin far exceeded my expectations. I'm not from San Diego – but coordinating and communicating with him in advance of my time there was very easy. He answered all of my questions and also offered excellent ideas. While working with him on the shoot I not only had fun but appreciated his qualifications and skill. I'm not a professional model – so the direction he gave me was necessary and excellent. I was totally comfortable. The photos I received less than a week after shooting are absolutely incredible. I couldn't be happier. Thanks Kevin…I hope to work with you again!
Kevin, you were fun and nice to work with. I felt very comfortable, and respected. I appreciate you taking time to work with me.
Kevin was one of the most chill and creative people I've worked with. Photos turned out amazing and his photography direction is so great! Cannot wait to work with him again in the future!
My wife and I hired Randy (and Kevin!) to create a video memory of our little Chandler's first birthday party. They worked with us to determine the look, feel, and sound for the video, showing us many examples and talked us through various shots and scenes to capture. The passion for the craft, attention to detail, and professionalism are second to none. Our video is exceptional and we will treasure it for years to come. The variety of shots and creativity really made some special memories and the talking scenes captured with friends and family really touched our hearts. Randy and Kevin also provided great still photography and drone shots for the ultimate all-in-one package. My wife and I received numerous comments from party attendees over how great the camera crew was, and I won't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
Randy and Kevin are not only super-nice guys with ample photography skills, they're also great with kids and have unending patience. Just look at the photos they produced; the results speak for themselves! Highly recommended for anyone in the San Diego area in need of fairly priced, highly professional photography with a personal touch and quick turnaround. Thanks again fellas!
Kevin has always been artistic and has had a camera in his hands since he was young. I don't know what he was thinking, always taking photos. I wish he'd put that thing down and take out the trash.

A Christmas Eve Kidnapping – Podcast #130
Author: Steve Silverman
Categories: Crime & Punishment, Holidays & Celebrations, Podcast
When the citizens of Centerville, Indiana, a small town located approximately 60 miles (97 km) east of Indianapolis, awoke on Friday, December 24, 1937, they assumed that it would be a fairly typical Christmas Eve. A light rain fell from the sky as the work week was brought to a close and children eagerly awaited the arrival of Santa and the gifts that he would bring.
One of those children was John Bryan, Jr., who had just turned 4 two-weeks earlier on December 13th. His mother, Ova, desired to give her only child the perfect Christmas and needed to run a few errands to complete the planned celebration. This included stopping at the local bank where her husband worked as a cashier. As Mrs. Bryan had done numerous times before, she left young Johnny in the care of their babysitter, 17-year-old high school student Norma Schroy.

Not long after Mrs. Bryan had left for the bank, two men pulled up in a car to the Bryan home around 2:30 P. M. and, upon entering, forced Norma to call Mrs. Bryan. Norma told her that she had taken ill and that Mrs. Bryan needed to come home quickly. Sensing that something was urgently wrong, Mrs. Bryan headed back home immediately.
As Mrs. Bryan made her way home, one of the two men told Johnny that they needed to go for a ride to pick out a Christmas tree. Johnny was too young to be scared, but Norma strongly protested the removal of the child. All three got into the car and drove away.
When Mrs. Bryan finally arrived at the house, the other man informed her that her son had been kidnapped. The only way that she could assure young Johnny's safe return was for her to call the bank and tell her husband that he had to pay $3,800 (approximately $67,000 today) immediately. This was money that Mrs. Bryan knew that the young couple did not have, so she called the bank and made the wise decision to talk to the president of the bank, Mark Stevens, first. Stevens informed Mr. Bryan who, along with several other men, got in their cars and raced off to his home.
Enter the story Julian Dunbar, a local grocer. He was one of those people who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. As the kidnapper who stayed behind anxiously awaited the arrival of the ransom money, the grocer stopped at the home to make a delivery and was mistaken by the kidnapper for Mr. Bryan.

Just as the real Mr. Bryan and the other men pulled within one-hundred yards (approximately 90 m) of the home, the kidnapper could be seen forcing the grocer Dunbar and Mrs. Bryan into the front seat of the Bryan family car, which had been parked along the curb. With the bandit standing on the exterior running board of the car, he forced Dunbar behind the steering wheel and demanded that he floor it and get them out of there. Suddenly, bullets began to fly. Mr. Bryan and another man opened fire on the bandit, who returned fire before ducking into the back seat of the car. As the two hostages and their captor sped away, two cars followed in pursuit. Local mechanic "Buzz" Lamberson and Mr. Bryan were in one vehicle and Marshall Charles Daugherty was in the other. At times the cars reached speeds in excess of 90 mph (145 km/h).
Upon reaching Cambridge City, which lies about 10 miles (approximately 16 km) west of Centerville, their captor forced Dunbar to turn into a side street. Through the vehicle's rear window, the car containing Mr. Bryan and Buzz Lamberson could be seen speeding right on by along the National Road. After giving them the slip, the bandit forced his prisoner to drive to New Lisbon, which lies about seven miles (11 km) to the northwest of Cambridge City. He ordered Dunbar to stop the car while he reloaded his gun. The kidnapper, still believing that the grocer was Mr. Bryan stated that since the "job had been bungled," his only option was to kill his two hostages before turning the gun upon himself. Dunbar desperately tried to talk him out of it. In part, Dunbar stated, "I am just a citizen who walked into this thing. I am not this woman's husband." After a bit of hesitation, he ordered them out of the car and the two ran off as fast as they could. About a half-hour after the gunfight had broken out, Mrs. Bryan called her husband to let him know that she was okay.
Dunbar described his captor as being about 5' 8" (173 cm) tall, 150 pounds (60 kg) in weight, was swarthy in complexion, and was left-handed. Most distinctively, he had a scar than ran from his left cheekbone down to the tip of his chin.
Mrs. Bryan and the grocer were now safe, but her son and his babysitter were still missing. It was every parent's worst nightmare. Mrs. Bryan was placed under the care of a physician and ordered to bed.
Around 5:30 that evening, Norma and the boy showed up unharmed on the doorstep of a farmhouse in Greens Forks, approximately 9 miles (14.5 km) northeast of the crime scene. Wilber Thomas and his wife knew nothing of the kidnapping, but after learning the details, he drove the two back to the Bryan home.
Norma told authorities that their kidnapper had panicked after his partner failed to show up at the previously designated meetup point. Assuming that the other bandit had been arrested, he made the decision to release his prisoners prior to speeding off. Miss Schroy stated, "After we were let out of the car, I walked with Johnny, sometimes carrying him, almost a mile to get help. I don't think that the kidnapper intended to take me but I got in with Johnny anyhow."
She described her captor as having red hair, thick lips, and bloodshot eyes. He had talked freely with Norma during the entire ride and offered up some of his clothing to protect both Johnny and her from the cold. She also added that the car was a green 1929 or 1930 Ford Model A coach that had red wire wheels and two bare wires hanging from the arm used to raise and lower the windshield. Norma added, "The license number was Ohio TH 423 or 432, I am not sure which." Unfortunately, a search of all registered vehicles showed that there was no vehicle registered with those plate numbers.
This image of Norma Schroy appeared on page 1 of the December 24, 1937 issue of the Palladium Item.
At 10:30 on Christmas morning, the sheriff's department received a call from a nearby farmer who said that he had found an abandoned car sitting in one of his fields. It was the Bryans' automobile. Investigators dusted for fingerprints, but since the victims had previously stated that the bandits wore gloves, not useful prints were found. Yet, there were four bullet holes in the car. One of the bullets had narrowly missed grocer Julian Dunbar's head while another struck a piece of metal in the front of the car and fell into Mrs. Bryan's lap.
Police had Norma and Dunbar look through hundreds of crime photos, but none were a match. Prosecutor John Britten made it clear that when these two thugs were caught they would be facing either life imprisonment or the death penalty for their actions.
Eleven days after the kidnapping, on January 4, 1938, three state policemen were driving from their Rushville barracks toward Muncie when they passed a car. One of the officers said, "Say, look at those wheels." To which one of the other men replied, "That certainly looks like the kidnap car. Let's look a little closer."
They pulled the car over and noticed that the car had a fresh coat of black paint covering its original green color. The vehicle's driver, thirty-year-old William Chester "Red" Marcum of Newcastle, denied any involvement in the crime, but was clearly nervous. The officers decided to take him in for further questioning. As they pulled up to the curbside in Centerville, Norma Schroy was asked to come out and take a look at the prisoner. "That's him," she exclaimed.
Confronted with Miss Schroy's positive identification, Marcum admitted to his role in the abduction. He also named fifty-two-year-old Harry C. Walter, a father of five children, as his accomplice. Police drove to Walter's home in Muncie and arrested him there.
The two men were then taken to Indianapolis for formal booking. While posing for their mugshots, Walter turned to Marcum and said, "Give 'em that big smile of yours, Bill." To which Marcum replied, "I don't feel much like smiling."
Both men were unemployed and came up with the kidnapping scheme to raise some much-needed cash "to live on." Centerville was chosen because it was considered to be a "prosperous farm town." The Bryans were specifically targeted because the father was the cashier of a bank.

In the back row (left to right) is Lieutenant Ray Hinkle, Ernest Richardson, William Pickering, and Fred Fosler, all of the Indiana State Police. If was Officers Richardson, Pickering and Fosler who arrested the two men. Image from the January 5, 1938 issue of the Indianapolis News on page 4.
In his confession, Harry Walter stated, "This was not considered as purely a kidnapping case because we knew Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were not financially able to pay any ransom, using the boy as a weapon we intended forcing Bryan through his wife to make the payment to us at a specified place, we asked for $3,800 cash of the bank's money."
He added, "I ordered Mrs. Bryan and Dunbar in the car and started a wild chase. Someone behind a tree shot at me and I shot four times at a truck. Then we began driving with Dunbar at the wheel. We drove through the country and I think into Cambridge City. Someone kept trailing us, but did not get close, anyway I was out of ammunition, just had one shell left, which I intended using on myself. Then I let them get out in the country and abandoned the car. I walked the railroad tracks into New Castle where I stayed at the home of 'Red' Marcum all night. The next morning 'Red' Marcum took me home to Muncie, the morning of December 25, 1937."
When questioned by police, Marcum was far more detailed in his explanation as to how the whole thing went down.
Q – Now just start in and tell what happened.
A – I don't know when it happened, about 2:30 P. M., I guess.
Q – What day was it?
A – About Dec. 24, 1937.
Q – Who was with you?
A – Harry Walter.
Q – Did you go to the house together?
A – Yes.
This type of mundane questioning went on for a while, so here are a few of the highlights:
Q – What kind of car?
A – A green model A Ford coach.
Q – Is that your car?
Q – What kind of license plate did you have on the car?
A – Ohio, 1937, license number 423 TH.
Keep in mind that Norma had told police that the plates were either Ohio TH 423 or 432, so she simply had the numbers and letters switched. It was learned that these plates had been stolen off of a car in New Castle and Marcum removed them before he returned home the day of the crime.
The questioning continued:
Q – When did you case it?
A – About a week and a half before. We had been there about three times.
In fact, several days prior to the crime the kidnappers had stopped a young boy on his way to school and asked him, "Where does the banker live?" He replied, "Over there" and pointed to the Bryan home.
Marcum told the authorities, "Walter had been there the day before, and knocked on the door and said he was taking a church census and the girl had been alone in the house."
After snatching the Bryan boy and Norma, Marcum drove about four miles (6.4 km) to a side road to await the arrival of Walter with the ransom. He was totally unaware of the kidnapping of Mrs. Bryan and Dunbar, the shootout and chase that followed, and the eventual release of the two. After about two hours of waiting, he concluded that Walter must have been arrested.
Q – What did you do then?
A – I drove about three or four miles north and let the nurse and kid out.
Q – What did you tell them?
A – I told the nurse there was a paved road about a mile up the road and that she could get a ride.
After the two signed their confessions, they were transported to Richmond around 2:30 A.M. Along the way, Deputy Sheriff Ora Wilson asked Walter what his family thought about the case and he replied, "I'd rather not talk about my family – I'll never see them again anyway." During booking at the jail, all of their personal belongings were taken. Marcum had 50-cents on him and Walter $1.39. It was at that moment that Walter stated, "That will buy all of the tobacco I'll ever need." Fearing that he was contemplating suicide, police took his belt, suspenders, and shoelaces away prior to locking Walter in his second-floor cell.
Later that morning, Sheriff Arthur Quigley asked turnkey Paul Andrews to bring the kidnappers to Prosecutor John Britten's office for further questioning. Just as the pair emerged from their cells, Walter charged toward the balcony railing, screamed, "To hell with the sheriff" and threw himself to the cement floor some fifteen feet (4.6 meters) below. As Walter lay bloody and unconscious on the floor below, Marcum stated, "I never thought he'd do that. I've known him for a long time – he was a good worker, too. I suppose he done it for his family – thought that might help them – but it won't do them no good." With his wife and one of his daughters at his bedside at Reid Memorial Hospital, 52-year-old Harry C. Walter passed away four hours later. He was buried in the Mooreland Cemetary in Mooreland, Indiana.
William Chester Marcum. Image appeared on page 5 of the January 8, 1938 publication of the Palladium Item.
This left Marcum to face the kidnapping charges alone. He declined a jury trial and appeared before Judge G. H. Hoelscher on January 8th, four days after his arrest. The Judge stated, "Number 13062 – State of Indiana versus Harry Walter and William Chester Marcum – kidnapping for ransom." Prosecutor Britten then said, "This is a charge of kidnapping for ransom – I will read it to you." After reading the lengthy charged, Marcum was asked to enter his plea. He replied, "Guilty." After some further questioning, the judge handed down his sentence. "William Marcum, I now sentence you to the Indiana State prison for the remainder of your natural life."
Prior to the trial, Marcum had stated "I'm glad to have it over. Maybe in twenty years I'll be back home and start over again." He wouldn't have to wait that long. On May 26, 1949, Indiana Governor Henry F. Schricker commuted Marcum's sentence from simply life imprisonment to "from time served to life." The rationale for the change was that Marcum had never harmed anyone. He was released a short time later and placed on parole until 1956.
Sadly, none of the principals of this story are still with us. Willaim Chester Marcum passed away at the age of 67 in April of 1970. Little Johnny Bryan became a Centerville attorney and, just coincidentally, had his law office in the same building that once housed the bank that his father worked in. He passed away on September 11, 1998. He was 64-years of age.
As for Norma Schroy, the babysitter, she would marry Howard E. Bailey and together they raised a son. When interviewed about the kidnapping in 1967, Norma commented that she thought that she had seen her kidnapper on a city bus in Richmond after he had been paroled. "I looked at him and he looked at me but neither one said a word. I don't know if he knew me or not, but I knew him." When she passed away on November 3, 2016, at the age of 97, she was a great-great-grandmother.
Useless? Useful? I'll leave that for you to decide.

Tempe, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians named Ryan Lindley the starting quarterback for Sundays critical game against the Seattle Seahawks. Lindley replaced Drew Stanton in last Thursday nights game against St. Louis, completing 4-of-10 passes for 30 yards. Stanton was injured while being sacked in the 12-6 win over the Rams and is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks with reportedly two partially torn knee ligaments. Lindley has started four games in his NFL career, all with the Cardinals during the 2012 season. Arians also said there would be a package of plays for rookie quarterback Logan Thomas.

INTRODUCTION: The efficacy of statin treatment in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients remains controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate whether statins modulate renal function in patients with CKD. METHODS: Data from Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of randomized controlled trials for years 1966-December 2012 were searched for appropriate studies. RESULTS: Twenty trials with 6452 CKD subjects randomized to receive either statin or placebo were included. Statin therapy significantly influenced high sensitivity C-reactive protein levels in patients on or off dialysis [-0.28 mg/dl, 95%CI: -0.93 to -0.37; p<0.05 and -0.46 mg/dl, 95%CI: -0.87 to -0.05; p=0.03], respectively], urinary protein (-0.77 g/24 h, 95%CI: -1.24 to -0.29, p<0.02; this effect persisted for treatment ≤12 months), and serum creatinine but only for long-term therapy (3 years) (-0.65 mg/dl, 95%CI: -1.00 to -0.30; p=0.0003). The summary for standardized effect size of mean differences of glomerular filtration rate was 0.29 ml/min/1.73 m(2) (95%CI: 0.01 to 0.58; p=0.04), and depended on treatment duration - a significant increase was observed for between 1 and 3 years of statin therapy (0.50 ml/min/1.73 m(2), 95%CI: 0.40 to 0.60; p<0.0001), with no significant increase for both ≤1 and >3 years of the therapy. CONCLUSION: Statins might exert significant renoprotective effects in CKD patients; however, benefit may depend on the duration of treatment. This is an issue that warrants more definitive investigation. More studies are necessary in dialysis patients to credibly evaluate the renal effects of statin therapy.

CNBC Titans: Barry Diller premieres Thursday, August 18 at 10 p.m.


Lately, there has been a rash of retail establishments that have refused to serve on duty police officer customers. The news agencies and social media reporting of these incidents often has caused a public relations issue with the retail establishment corporate office who are placed in a position to protect their brand, by terminating what is reported as a rogue employee acting on their own, and putting out a press release that everyone is welcome and that their company does not tolerate discrimination in any form. Are these recent incidents just a few rogue employees, or is something bigger in play, such as societies change of attitude and respect towards authority and symbols of our government?
Many local, state, and federal law enforcement officers believe that society attitudes towards police has shifted with deadly consequences. The words that they have used to describe this shift is a "War on Cops". Do the statistical numbers of duty related officer deaths justify this assumption and claim that society has started a "War on Cops"?
These numbers represent our law enforcement officers who have died protecting our communities for each year for the last decade. The reported deaths come from many different categories such as assaults, vehicle accidents, firearms related, etc.; however, the left column are the total number of officers who have died in the line of duty within that given year. The right column shows duty deaths caused by gunfire for the last decade.
The Washington Post indicated that Ambush killings of police officers has hit a 10-year high. The statistical data used in the Post report comes from the FBI. The FBI tracks feloniously officer attacks and deaths, and the Officer Down Memorial Page tracks all categories of duty deaths whether feloniously, accidental, or health related.
The perception as to why officers feel there is a "War on Cops" is that the number of duty deaths caused by gunfire and police ambushes has increased in 2016. Given the statistical number of gunfire deaths and reported increase in police ambushes there is justification for concern by the law enforcement community. There should not be just concern from law enforcement. American society should be outraged that our officers are being targeted for retaliation because they are responsible for law and order, and the most visible sign of our government within the community.
Our communities are safer when we support our officers. No matter how one feels about current police community relationships, violence that targets our officers is unacceptable. We cannot build trust and respect when officers are being targeted simply because they wear a law enforcement uniform.

Females of D. auratus are always less shy than males! I reckon this is because they have to feed much more for egg production.

The clinical trials toolkit contains useful information and resources for conducting a clinical trial in Australia.
The Clinical Trials Environment
Overarching Legislation and Guidance
Clinical trials involving the use of unapproved therapeutic goods (i.e. drugs, medical devices and biologicals) are subject to a number of national laws and regulations, including:
The Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (Cth)(TG Act)
The Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990 (Cth)
The TG Act and regulations establish two schemes for clinical trials involving therapeutic goods that have not received marketing approval for supply in Australia (i.e. they are 'unapproved'), these are:
The Clinical Trials Notification (CTN) scheme, and
The Clinical Trials Approval(CTA) scheme
Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is the body responsible for administering the CTN and CTA schemes. Clinical trials involving the use of approved therapeutic goods outside their marketing authorisation (i.e. 'off-label') also need to go through either the CTN or CTA scheme.
Information on these schemes can be found at:
TGA's Clinical Trial website (includes contact details for further information)
The Australian Clinical Trial Handbook
Australian Clinical Trials - Useful Links for Industry and Sponsors
Not all clinical trials need to be conducted under the CTN or CTA schemes. For example clinical trials involving new surgical techniques, or trials involving the use of approved drugs and medical devices within their marketing authorisation, may not require a CTN or CTA application. The decision whether a clinical trial should proceed via the CTN or CTA scheme is initially for the sponsor and, ultimately, for the reviewing Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC).
A clinical trial conducted under the CTN or CTA scheme requires approval by a HREC (also known in the US as an Institutional Review Board) that is constituted and operating in accordance with the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (National Statement) and which has notified its existence to the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). Further information on the National Statement and registered HRECs is set out below.
The conduct of clinical trials is also governed by further national laws and guidelines, which are discussed below.
Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (CPMP/ICH/135/95)
The ICH Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (CPMP/ICH/135/95) is an internationally accepted standard for the designing, conducting, recording and reporting of clinical trials.
The TGA has adopted CPMP/ICH/135/95 in principle but has recognised that some elements are, by necessity, overridden by the National Statement (and, therefore, not adopted) and that others require explanation in terms of 'local regulatory requirements'. To the extent that there is a perceived inconsistency between the National Statement and the Guideline for Good Clinical Practice, the TGA recommends that the National Statement take precedence.
For more information see:
ICH Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) (Annotated by the TGA)
The National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007)
The National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 2007 (updated 2018) (National Statement) consists of a series of guidelines made in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council Act 1992. It is intended for use by:
any researcher conducting research with human participants
any member of an ethical review body reviewing that research
those involved in research governance and
potential research participants.
The National Statement is developed jointly by NHMRC, the Australian Research Council (ARC) and Universities Australia (UA).
Conformance to the National Statement is a prerequisite for receipt of NHMRC or ARC funding.
The National Statement requires that all clinical trials (whether they fall under the CTN or CTA schemes or not) be approved by a properly constituted HREC.
National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 2007 (updated 2018)
For information on HRECs and the TG Act:
Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Human Research
The Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research, 2018 (the Code) guides institutions and researchers in responsible research practices and promotes research integrity. It assists institutions in developing their own employee codes of conduct and procedures for the investigation of allegations of research misconduct by providing a comprehensive framework of acceptable academic standards.
The Code is supported by a series of guides, including the Guide to Managing and Investigating Potential Breaches of the Code.
Institutions and other entities wishing to be eligible to receive NHMRC or ARC funding must abide by the Code and report research misconduct to NHMRC and ARC.
The Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research, 2018
The Guide to Managing and Investigating Potential Breaches of the Code
Clinical trials involve the collection, use or disclosure of personal and 'sensitive information' (sometimes all three) or access to personal or sensitive information held by third parties (such as Medicare, a General Practitioner's surgery, or a public hospital). 'Sensitive information' includes medical information as well as information about an individual's racial or ethnic origin or sexual orientation or practices, among other characteristics.
Clinical trials that require access to personal or sensitive information held by the Commonwealth are subject to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). If the sponsor conducting the clinical trial, or the site at which the trial is being conducted, is a Commonwealth agency, medium-large company, a private university or the Australian National University, all activities related to the collection, use or disclosure of personal and sensitive information may be subject to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Even if the national Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) does not apply to your clinical trial, most States and Territories have their own privacy laws and law protecting medical records.
If your organisation or clinical trial is subject to the national Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) then the reviewing HREC must consider and abide by a series of guidelines developed by NHMRC relating to the use and disclosure of information in medical research. Your trial must also abide by the Australian Privacy Principles.
Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)
A list of State and Territory privacy laws

Feasibility and Research Governance
Early and thorough planning is essential to timely and efficient clinical trial commencement. Through the development of its national Good Practice Process for Site Assessment and Authorisation Phases of Clinical Trial Research Governance (Good Practice Process), NHMRC demonstrated that significant improvements in clinical trial start up times can be achieved when sponsors, investigators and clinical trial sites communicate effectively and if a proper feasibility assessment is undertaken prior to the submission of documents for ethics and site assessment and authorisation.
Many Australian States and Territories have adopted standard Clinical Trials Research Agreements. Use of these Agreements is a de facto standard in many jurisdictions and is compulsory in others.

Developing a Protocol
Australia's leading public funder for health and medical research (NHMRC) supports the use of the SPIRIT Statement and Checklist in the development of protocols.
SPIRIT Statement and Checklist
How to apply for ethics approval
Human research in Australia must be conducted in an ethical and responsible manner. Ethics approval and oversight is provided by Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) which are often (but not always) located at the site(s) where the clinical trial will take place.
A clinical trials conducted under the CTN or CTA scheme requires approval by a HREC that is constituted and operating in accordance with the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 2007, updated (National Statement) and which has notified its existence to NHMRC.
The National Statement requires that all clinical trials (whether they fall under the CTN or CTA schemes or not) be approved by a properly constituted HREC. Conformance to the National Statement is a prerequisite for receipt of NHMRC funding.
NHMRC has developed a national Human Research Ethics Application (HREA) for use by sponsors and researchers conducting any form of human research, including clinical trials. While the HREA is a national form, its acceptance by HRECs may be influenced by the governing rules and policy of the HREC's host institution, or by a state and territory government.
Before you start to complete an HREA, make sure you ask the ethics office to which you plan to submit it whether they are able to accept the HREA. They may advise you to use another form.
If you are conducting a clinical trial at multiple centres (i.e. at two or more sites, each of which requires separate approval) you may need to submit your ethics application to multiple HRECs. However, under the National Statement, institutions are encouraged to reduce duplicate ethics review and accept the ethics approval of another institution.
Some States and Territories operate their own National Mutual Acceptance scheme for multi-centre human research taking place in public hospitals (see below).

The National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 2007 (updated 2018)
Finding an Ethics Committee
NHMRC maintains a list of HRECs that have notified NHMRC of their existence. These HRECs have declared that they are constituted and operate in accordance with the National Statement.
NHMRC has also 'certified' the ethical review process of a number of institutions under its National Certification Scheme of Institutional Processes related to the Ethical Review of Multi-centre research (National Certification Scheme). The National Certification Scheme is a voluntary scheme intended to provide assurance that the policies, processes and procedures of an institution and its HREC comply with an agreed set of national criteria for the conduct of an ethics review of multi-centre human research.
Under the National Approach to Single Ethical Review, institutions are encouraged to accept the ethics review of a NHMRC-certified HREC. Many (but not all) certified institutions are also recognised under the National Mutual Acceptance (NMA) scheme, a system for single ethics review operating in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria.
Before you complete your ethics application you should consider which jurisdictions and institutions will need to approve your application, and ask them whether they will accept a single ethics approval under either the National Approach to Single Ethical Review or the NMA scheme.
