The purpose of the Psychology Lab is to help all students who are enrolled in a psychology course succeed. The Psychology Lab is mainly staffed by Supplemental Instructors who are psychology majors and have completed Introduction to Psychology (PSY 1113). In addition to Supplemental Instructors, faculty who teach Introduction to Psychology also maintain lab hours during the semester. During select times, professors are available for one-on-one tutoring and guidance. Any professor can guide any student who is taking the class, be it their own student or not, or be it an on-campus or online student.
In addition to Supplemental Instructors and professors, the lab has paper and pencil practice quizzes for each chapter that are similar to what students will find on their unit exams. The purpose of practice quizzes is to help students determine whether or not they have mastered the required learning objectives and receive help if needed.
Beyond practice quizzes, the lab also has 20 computers for student use. Students are encouraged to use these computers to log into the college's online learning platform, Moodle, or to complete any assignments required for class in Connect. If needed, students can ask for guidance from the lab staff or a professor. The computers also have helpful web links for both Introduction to Psychology and Developmental Psychology.
If a student finds that he or she does not have their textbook, the lab has a few copies that can be used within the lab. The lab also has copies of the accompanying Study Guide for Introductory Psychology.
Hours for the lab vary from semester to semester. Hours will be posted at the Psychology Lab door, on this webpage, or can be obtained from your professor. The Psychology Lab is located in rooms 1H6 and 1H6A of the Social Sciences Center.
For more information regarding the Psychology Lab, please contact Professor Yuthika Kim at yukim@occc.edu (405-682-1611 ext 7715) or the Social Sciences Division at 405-682-7573.

U.S.,Cuba Continue Air Disaster Investigations
Publicado el 6 junio, 2018 • 7:00 por Redacción Digital
Investigations into the causes of the May 18 air disaster in Havana are continuing in Cuba and the United States, where the two black boxes of the Boeing 737-200 were moved.
Cuban experts traveled to U.S. territory with the boxes that recorded the voices and data of the aircraft of the Mexican airline Damojh rented by Cubana de Aviacion, said on Monday the island's Minister of Transport, Adel Yzquierdo, in a session of Parliament.
Yzquierdo reiterated the investigations related to the May 18 tragedy may take months to complete, when the plane crashed shortly after taking off from Jose Marti International Airport, with 113 passengers and crew on board (102 Cubans and 11 foreigners).
As pointed out here, along with experts from Cuba, specialists from the United States and Mexico, the country where the Boeing 737-200 was manufactured and the headquarters of the company that operated it, respectively, participate in the research.
According to the president of the Cuban Institute of Civil Aeronautics (IACC), Armando Daniel, the preservation of the disaster site – a farmland – was key to gathering evidence, which is subjected to laboratory analysis.
Daniel, who is in charge of the investigations, said the objective of the investigations is 'prevention of future events, and not to determine the guilty parties'.
Investigations are also being conducted in Mexico into the Damojh Company, whose operations were suspended by the Ministry of Communications and Transport.
Yesterday, in the Caribbean nation's Parliament, the specialist in legal medicine, Jorge Gonzalez, highlighted the excelent response to the accident, of which three Cuban women survived, but only one – 19-year-old Mailen Diaz – remains in critical condition.
Gonzalez acknowledged the work of the island's health system, its quick reaction and the identification in just eight days of the 110 human remains that arrived at the Institute of Legal Medicine a few hours after the accident.
In a plenary session, Cuban parliamentarians dedicated a minute of silence on Saturday to the victims of the air tragedy, one of the largest in the world this year. (Taken from Prensa Latina)

Такмичење у стрељаштву у дисциплини ваздушна пушка 10 метара у мушкој конкуренцији на Летњим олимпијским играма 2016. у Рио де Жанеиру одржано је 8. августа на стрелишту Националне олимпијске стрељане.

Учествовала је укупно 50 стрелаца из 33 земље, а такмичење се одвијало у два дела. У квалификацијама пуцало се у 6 серија по десет метака, а пласман у финале остварило је 8 најбољих из квалификација. У финалу се гађало још 20 пута, а сваки погодак вредновао се од 0,1 до 10,9 бодова. Након осам серија стрелац са најлошијим резултатом напушта такмичење, потом следе по две серије након којих најслабији напушта такмичење, и тако до коначног двобоја два најбоља такмичара.

Најбољи резултат у квалификацијама и у финалу остварио је репрезентативац Италије Николо Кампријани који је освојио златну медаљу, сребро је припало Украјинцу Сергеју Кулишу, док је бронзану медаљу освојио Рус Владимир Маслеников.

У квалификацијама су учестовала и два српска стрелца, али ниједан од њих није успео да се квалификује за финале. Милутин Стефановић је био 12. са погођена 624,3 круга, док је Миленко Себић заузео 33. позицију са погођених 620 кругова.

It is important to note that infected people can spread the infection even if they have no symptoms. Symptoms of COVID-19 can include cough, shortness of breath, fever, chills, tiredness and loss of smell or taste. Some people infected with the virus have no symptoms at all, while others have symptoms that range from mild to severe.

I usually create my service using a user account:

Note the space after obj= and password=.
Note that is was not working with a Local System account because of a Windows Credential issue, as illustrated in JENKINS-34082.

I uninstalled "git" in windows slave machine and the install without using "Windows credential manager".

The OP WeDucer comments:

Works: The installed credential manager prevented Local System Account from clone.

Schwilly Family Musicians Classroom
Musicpreneur Wisdom
Musicpreneur Apprentice Program
Take Ownership of Your Career, Connect with Your True Superfans, & Make a Greater Impact With Your Music
Join The MAP
What if you had a horde of raving superfans, made more money than you spend on music, and were able to do it without dealing with "gatekeepers" or giving up any of your artistic integrity?
Every musician's dream, right?
Does any of this sound familiar?...
Most expensive hobby ever. You're throwing all your money into producing music that nobody ever hears while your family keeps asking "when are you gonna get a REAL job?".
The social media hamster wheel. You spend all your time implementing social media strategies that get you nowhere, while you'd rather be making music.
Unsure how to find your fans. Causing you to doubt your ability as a musician. Even if you don't become a megastar, you'd be ecstatic to connect with a community of fans who appreciate your contribution to the sonic landscape and will support your creative efforts.
Losing your motivation. Starting to believe the naysayers who say that "nobody buys music anymore" and "it's harder than ever to make it in music".
Frustrated by information overload. You're sick of wasting time sifting through recycled strategies that worked for "that one musician that one time". You want to learn actual principles that are universal and timeless so that you can adapt to changes as they come.
Sick of punching a clock to make someone else rich. You spend all your waking hours draining your creative energy for people who don't appreciate you, wishing that music was your day job instead
Did any (or all) of that make the hair stand up on the back of your neck?
Great! You've come to the right place!
"I have purchased Rick Barker's twitter program and had some decent success with it. The only problem is it's hard and complicated to keep track of the people you follow, and there is no true relationship that ends in people becoming fans.
With Carlos's programs you build relationships and relationships are what makes fans.
It's so simple you think it shouldn't make a difference in your fan base...that is until you follow his program. Then.....BOOM! people start talking to you and have conversations.
You start seeing your email list shoot up and your Twitter count keeps going up and your unfollows are minimal.
I had about 1,500 follows on Twitter and no one joined my email list with Ricks twitter program. Within 1 Month with Carlos I have had 1-3 people join my email list every day!
I have tried Ricks program, Dave Kusek's program, and a few others.
Carlos is the only one that has a system that walks you through how and why it works. It's not enough to just do something and it works, but it important to know the why it works.
That's worth more to you than anything else, and that's why Carlos's plan works. He teaches you the why and how to use that to grow your true fans.
It's hard to find someone, like Carlos, that cares and isn't just out to get my money. He understands that relationships build fans and fans spend money on what they feel connected to."
-Daniel Browning (Uncut Stones)
"It had been YEARS (decades?)since I honestly believed The Music Industry was ever going to become a source of income.
Always the optimist, however, I wasn't hard to convince that there was a better way for disillusioned, underpaid, under-exposed musicians to create a career. I wasn't going to stop making music just because it was a thankless money pit, so when I found Carlos my mind was blown.
His way of going about creating a fanbase is a deft combination of deep knowledge and experience with the classic sales cycle, in-depth and specific knowledge of the latest technologies and exactly how to leverage them, and a seemingly intuitive grasp of human nature. Oh, and a fierce love of music!
He shows that you can start thinking and acting like an Entrepreneur, but still do it in a conscious, humanistic way. He gets you to see that you have to sell YOU to get fans. They will want to buy YOUR music because of YOU.
Cap'n Schwilly was an investment and I'd be hard pressed to think of anyone that has a better business ethic OR who is more fun to learn from."
-Tom Smith (The Merry Jaynz)
I want you to take a moment and imagine a world where you could...
Dramatically grow your audience, constantly draw in new folks who are excited about YOUR music and can't wait to hear for more.
Authentically connect with fans who will support your career for the duration. Fall asleep knowing that you're making a difference in people's lives.
Consistently grow your musical income without relying on anyone else to give you opportunities. Without needing anyone's permission to succeed.
Have all the resources you need to make the music YOU want to make.
Feel confident in your strategy. No more second guessing or spending hours on pointless research. You know that what you're doing is efficient and effective and you have the numbers to prove it!
Turn your music into your full-time career. You've achieved what most musicians aren't willing to do: build you own career by leveraging your new audience and potential.
"Using Carlos's plan has been the best thing I've ever done for my career and myself.
It definitely pushes you out of your comfort zone and, as we all know, comfort zones make you stagnant and don't push you forward!
The very best thing about this program is you can definitely move at your own pace. PLUS (and this is a BIG plus) there is a ton of support!
Just when you think you are "out there" by yourself, all the other members help you realize that you are not alone! Especially Carlos!
I love this program!"
-Alison Reynolds
I know EXACTLY how you feel!
I used to dream of the same thing... until I figured out how to turn it into reality!
I was frittering my life away in a ticky-tacky cubicle, making someone else rich while barely keeping myself afloat… financially AND creatively.
Then I declared my independence by taking ownership of my career AND my life, leaving my clock-punching days behind me.
I traveled the country connecting with every musician I could, learning about your struggles, and how I could help you overcome them.
I hit rock bottom and crawled my way back up, using my experience, education, and grit to help hundreds of musicians figure out how to take ownership of their own careers WITHOUT giving up any of their artistic integrity or being beholden to gatekeepers.
Then I designed a MAP (pun intended) to help musicians navigate the entrepreneurial waters on their way to forging their own destinies.
The Musicpreneur Apprentice Program is a month-to-month membership where I can hold your hand and walk you down the path toward your own success. It is the culmination of everything I have learned and experienced in the decade I've spend working directly with musicians toward the development of their careers.
If you've already put in the work of learning how to make music, then it doesn't make any sense to stop when it comes to the business side of your career.
So if you're ready to transfer some of that energy towards DOING THE WORK of building your business, I can show you how.

"I've been through a few other programs (at least 3) that I earnestly worked and got no results from. It made me question if I was really helping anyone with the music I wrote and recorded. Then a good friend recommended I try Carlos' program and a light when on.
I realized that I was going at it (building an audience) all wrong, because I was chasing a model that did not work anymore.
It wasn't until I started to work the Musicpreneur Apprentice Program that I began to see tangible results. I started to build an email list and sell downloads. I have achieved this from the "comfort" of my own home.
This is exactly what I needed to break out from a pattern of failure and begin to build a business that works around the music I love to produce."

There is a lot of noise out there, and it's hard to decipher which resources work and which will waste your time. That's why the MAP library highlights an always evolving list of all the resources, tools, and books that we discuss throughout the program, during office hours and in the student lounge.
AudioTheme for Wordpress.
The biggest problem with Wordpress is that there are so many crappy themes out there. And anything decent costs money. Well, I found a set of premium themes that work great for musicians and are easy to use. And you can take your pick.
Custom Crowdfunding Template.
Avoid paying platform fees for your crowdfunding campaign by operating it directly on your own Wordpress website.
Booster Plus for WooCommerce.
Among other things, this plugin for your web store will allow fans to pay more than the asking price, which we have found they are apt to do when given that option.
Free Updates to the Course.
We are ALWAYS learning new things in the MAP. And for as long as you are a member you will always have access to the latest information. I will never hide new lessons behind an additional pay wall.
"The MAP is a step by step, actionable, and goal driven program that actually works if you are willing to learn, follow directions, and put in the time and effort.
And Carlos is one of the most approachable people, so you will never feel intimidated or made to be felt like you are lower than him, he's a super friendly community leader!"
- A.J. and Tara
When does the program start and finish?
The program starts now and never ends! It is completely self-paced - you decide when you start and when you finish. Although going through the modules could take you anywhere from 6 months to a year, we are ALWAYS learning new things and welcome you to journey with us for as long as you remain a member.
How long do I have access to the program?
For as long as you remain a member! How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you'll be offered a "Lifetime Membership" option!
What if I am unhappy with the program?
I would never want you to be unhappy! A 30-day, no questions asked, money-back guarantee is standard. But I want to make sure that you have PLENTY of time to do the work and experience the results. So my "Schwilly Promise" to you is that IF YOU PUT IN THE EFFORT and are still unsatisfied with your experience, you can have an extra 30 days to put the MAP to the test. Then if you're still not satisfied after 60 days of putting in the work, just show me your homework again and I will give you a full refund. I don't want a single penny from anyone whose career trajectory won't be enhanced by what I have to offer.
"The personal one-to-one, that Carlos checked out where I was coming from and supports combining my two artistic streams is already standing out compared with another online marketing course that really didn't interact or suit my needs.
The real difference, I think, is that it's not a case of believing in Carlos, but instead Carlos believes in us and knows in his heart that his system will benefit each and every one of us, irrespective of where we're starting or coming from"
-Elaine Nolan
Who is The MAP for?
Musicians who are ready to grow their career. If you want more fans, then this program will help you get there, no matter where you're starting from.
Musicians who are sick of throwing money away, and are willing to do the work... if they only knew what work matters most.
Musicians who want to lead their own tribe. You want to grow a following, yesterday. You're ready for strategies and principles that actually help you build a thriving community that will support your career.
Musicians who want to rapidly grow their email list. You're itching to grow your email list because you know it's an essential part of your business. One day, you'd love to release your album, without hearing crickets...but you know that you need an email list to do it.
Busy bees! You're busy with a job, family, and making music and you'd LOVE to develop a system that grew your audience without taking up all your time (so you could spend more time ACTUALLY making music).
"I've purchased other music success/marketing courses and coaching programs but they've gathered dust. This one is different.
Before I knew it, I was taking action and getting results. I think that's the difference. Actionable ideas that pay off right away.
In a matter of days, I was connecting directly with fans, existing and new, in ways I had not imagined or thought I would do anytime soon.
I hardly noticed I was going beyond my comfort zone because Carlos is so personable, helpful and brilliant that his challenges are actually more fun than anything.
I am not only happy, I am thinking he is not charging enough! Get in before he takes my advice!"
-John Kyle
Who is The MAP NOT for?
"Get Rich Quick" wannabees. This program isn't for people who think that buying a course will suddenly help them earn millions over night. You have to put in the work to see results..
Hobby Musicians who aren't interested in growing an audience. Are you a living room rockstar, but don't really care about growing your audience or email list? This program is specifically created to help you grow your tribe and traffic, so this is probably not the best fit for you.
Musicians looking for an "automated music selling machine". You can't just "set it and forget it" with your music career. If you're not interested in engaging with your audience, nothing I can teach you will be of any use.
Musicians who want someone else to build their career. If you're only goal is to "get discovered" by someone who will finance and build your career for you so that you'll never have to think about anything other than making music then I can't help you. This program is all about TAKING OWNERSHIP of your career. You can't leave it up to someone else because they are not as invested in it as you.
"I've taken two other music business courses from other so-called music industry experts, one of whom boasts his big star managerial experience and neither program provided as much value for my money nor provided me with anywhere near as much actual usable, effective information as Carlos Castillo's Musicpreneur Apprentice Program.
If you want to grow your music business effectively and successfully in today's current music business, then there's really no other choice but the MAP.
It works because it is fresh and doesn't keep teaching old techniques from a broken industry. And he won't sell you a program and then be unavailable to personally answer your questions.
He's a rare find in this industry full of sharks. Don't wait - join MAP today."
- John Tracy
Are You Ready To Stop Dabbling As a Musician?
If you're tired of banging your head against the wall, being overwhelmed by the information overload, being disappointed by broken promises of guaranteed "tactics" and "strategies" that only seem to work for other musicians, and hearing your loved ones ask "when are you gonna get a real job?"…
…and you're read to finally take ownership of your career, and do the work of connecting with YOUR community superfans…
…then join the program and get started on forging your own unique path to launching your music career.
I'd love to see you on our next live call!

The operative net-centric principles hear are entity primacy (named to contrast it with the primacy of the collective, which most people tend to assume in government/corporate/academic contexts), explicitness, reciprocity/symmetry, dynamism, open world , and relationship management, with a dash of pragmatism. I think we are talking about a multiplicity of ontologies rather than a single over-arching but super flexible/extensible ontology. Regardless, I believe any entity expecting to interact with another on a symmetrical/reciprocal basis needs to be explicit about the ontology (ies) it is using in its external interactions. Anything not exposed externally is the entity's business alone. Relationship management allows restricted exposure of ontologies/specializations to only certain parties or classes of parties (also the basis of all concepts of cyber security and privacy). Dynamism prevents entities from assuming that yesterday's ontology is the same as today's – verify that it is and make adjustments accordingly if it is not. And today's relationships with other entities may not be the same as yesterday's, so check to make sure and adjust otherwise. Open world means that your definition isn't the only one and new definitions or extensions/specializations may appear at any time, and from just about any entities you might have occasion to encounter on the network. And pragmatism says you can only do so much of this, based on what is fueling or motivating you to interact with others, as well as technical and resource limitations associated with initiating and conducting interactions with others.

Yes, Rich. I was only trying to point out that using the term "semantic baggage" actually encourages the thought that the answer is simply to get some smart people with no semantic baggage to run the world.
My belief is that, while there are tons of smart people, there are NO people who are free of semantic baggage. We have all generated our individual conceptualizations based on our individual experiences, self interests, and realistic constraints.
Instead, I think ALL people should run the world because there are NO smart people cleaned of all semantic baggage.
That is why I believe that so called progressive and conservative approaches are both inherently wrong; they do not take into account the other points of view; the don't leave room for choice making as described by Milton Friedman.
In describing their regulatees as "actors" or "users" or some other classification name, they do not consider individuals as empowered, self regulating creatures capable of their own individual pursuits of happiness. Instead, the small groups that construct and impose social constraints on ALL people of certain "classes" (citizens, employees, patients, consumers, taxpayers, immigrants, drivers, insurance companies …).
The belief that a small group can dictate and enforce a complex ontology on ALL players is what is wrong here. Reality is so much more complex than any one of us, or any group of us, can possibly describe and write rules for.
Your earlier point, that failures are needed to expand rules which are inadequate, is right on the mark that way. It seems to me that there ought to be a way to organize ontologies so that each individual can elaborate or compress the concepts and rules. That makes concepts and rules more like suggestions than singularities of meaning. Each person will conceptualize his own view of reality, so the most appropriate thing to do with ontologies is to allow for individual customization and choices among what portions of the ontology make sense to that each individual.
My point was similar to the situation I have run into repeatedly in the area of interoperability – it's an easy problem to solve: simply put me or my company or my government in charge and we'll specify the standard/definition that everyone else (i.e., those with semantic baggage) should follow/use/comply with. My experience has been that people don't like to think that they have semantic baggage, and have difficulty accepting the legitimacy of alternative views and purposes for a choice of meaning or representation of some term or concept.
I agree completely.
More often than not these alternate views are seen as evidence of narrow-mindedness, short-sightedness, self-interest (e.g., proprietary representation), or just plain stupidity (in the most uncharitable sense). The problem is that some of these pejorative factors do come into play, but my experience has been that even if you eliminate all these negative factors, you still end up with lots of legitimate alternate perspectives.
Again I agree. The pejorative factors likely are motivated by people's self interests, as perceived by said people. If A's ontology badly expresses B's conceptualization, B's purpose is impaired by sticking with that bad _expression_. Instead, B should be able to modify the ontology to fit B's needs, while A continues using A's ontology if it is satisfactory for A. For that reason, I don't expect interoperability to be 100% acceptable without such a capability for individualization of ontologies.
So I think we need to counter the thinking that these different perspectives are simply the result of negative behaviors and stupidity – because it's such a simple and easy excuse for dismissing diversity of perspectives that are really inherent in what different entities have experienced and are trying to accomplish. I have yet to read a published report in the news media on interoperability problems that doesn't cast one party or the other (or both) as somehow incompetent or short-sighted.
The media is motivated by its advertising base. When Limbaugh recently apologized, it was because his advertisers were dropping out. When Beck's and Napolitano's shows were cancelled, it was because they couldn't keep advertising revenues up even though their shows were popular with viewers. Like all the rest of us, the media (each individual in it) has a purpose of survival in the current context, and will act to preserve their individual values related to that purpose.
The message is consistently that if only these parties had been a bit smarter or forward looking (i.e., if only they didn't have all this semantic baggage), this problem would not have happened. Such thinking might be satisfying to some, but it does nothing to address the real underlying cause of the problem, nor does it help the public understand that in many cases both parties built/did whatever they did for very good reasons.
But the same thing is true of other groups, not just the media. The political parties have agendae that they are pursuing, and most politicians are swept up in the party system. For survivability, they form a consensus even when they disagree with major parts of bills that have implications on their funding sources. That doesn't make politicians bad, stupid, evil, or other pejoratives; it makes them human like the rest of us.
An ontology becomes a social construct when people are constrained to abide by its rules, classifications, operations and logic. But in reality, every one of us has some unique ontology organized into our behaviors and belief systems. That ontology is built on our unique perceptions of the totality around us.
I co-authored a paper on unanticipated context shifts as the root cause of most interoperability problems that were not simply errors in implementing an agreed definition/standard. One can argue that such context shifts should have been anticipated – and the SCOPE model is one way to do that gedankenexperiment in a more disciplined and exhaustive way – but if you look at actual cases, my experience has been that it often would have been unlikely or even impossible for the parties to have made different decisions at the time they made them.
At the time the decisions were made, the situation that eventually occurred would have been considered "safe to ignore" or "we can't boil the ocean". We should still strive to raise awareness of possible context shifts/scope expansions to make sure that people/sponsors aren't simply unaware of their possibility, or have implicitly assumed them away, as opposed to consciously considering them and explicitly deciding not to address those possibilities.
What we need, IMHO, is an ontology that is easy to modify, tailor, customize and maintain on an individual user level. But trying to force fit an ontology onto previously uncharted applications will always result in errors due to lack of coverage of real contexts and due to individuals experiencing those contexts in different ways.
You summarized:
Your comments and example from the healthcare domain just underscore my point. I was simply trying to point out that subjectivity doesn't have to be viewed as a pejorative term. Subjectivity, based on personal or institutional perspectives and objectives, are unavoidable and are the basis for interpreting communications from/with others in the environment. People often assume that subjectivity is motivated by selfishness, but it can equally be motivated by altruism or simply by things that interest an individual or organization.
Then we agree! Subjectivity is unavoidable, the basis for interpreting language acts, inevitable in developing any models including ontologies, and not only a selfish pastime.
It's good to end on a note of agreement!

I do need to emphasize that net-centric operations are not focused on communications or the network, but rather on the entities and resources one can interact with via the network (i.e., "cyberspace"). Thus net-centric operations entail all of the personal and organizational perspectives and purposes/motivations, and associated semantic interoperability issues being discussed on this forum. Representing and being aware of context and scope over a network connection is in some ways more challenging than doing so face to face because of the lack of non-verbal cues we use to assess context and meaning/motivations.
Thanks for your reply. Please see my responses embedded into your email below,

I think it would be better not to use terms like "semantic baggage", which suggest some lack of objectivity on the part of whoever defined C.
I can't take credit for that term; David was the first to use it, but I heartily agree with the term because I firmly believe that the originator(s) of any ontology necessarily exercised their subjective cache of beliefs to create the ontology. That is really my point in this discussion. People are always subjective, even when pretending toward the objective view. We see our world through the glasses of a subjective experience from birth to now. Objectivity is what we call it when people don't disagree much on a concept. That is why people can agree on very simple ontologies such as Dublin Core, but not on more complex ontologies.
For example, the new health coding system for doctors to use in seeking reimbursement has 140,000 codes, each with an English description. Here is an article describing one point of view on how that change from the present 18,000 codes to the new 140,000 codes that distinguish more detail on health conditions. For example, according to this author, there are 36 different codes for treating a snake bite, depending on the type of snake, its geographical region, and whether the incident was accidental, intentional self-harm, assault, or undetermined. The new codes also thoroughly differentiate between nine different types of hang-gliding injuries, four different types of alligator attacks, and the important difference between injuries sustained by walking into a wall and those resulting from walking into a lamppost:
http://www.amazon.com/forum/politics/ref=cm_cd_dp_rft_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1S3QSZRUL93V8&cdThread=TxBWPF3HLJGNLL
At the risk of getting into a discussion of Plato, the key point is that every definition of C, C', and C", are based on some context (often assumed and implicit), some frame(s) of reference for describing entities/concepts within that context, and with specific (if often implicit) scope, and from some perspective upon that context. Until we have a shared language for describing context, frames of reference, their scope, and the perspective from which the context is described, we will always have variations in definitions of C, C'. and C". Indeed, there will be as many variations of C as there are context dimensions and scope values for those dimensions as might have a material influence on the definition of C.
What is the cost of developing these shared codes, i.e., training every physician to use the "proper" code for each condition of the 140,000 distinct codes? The context is captured in more detail than ever before, but will the codes be "properly" assigned? I doubt it. What is the motivation for the physician to distinguish states of mind, such as the difference between assault with a snake, versus self injury with a snake, versus accidental discovery of a snake engaged in biting the patient?
Let's call this ontology of 140,000 codes, each code j corresponding to one context C[j], the health code ontology. But what physicians will actually memorize, discriminate and record health conditions correctly within this 140,000 health code ontology forest? The subjectivity of the reporting physician will be superimposed on this ontology, and the data that is actually recorded will not truly match the code. That mismatch is the "semantic baggage" mentioned above.
Furthermore, the original developers (probably a committee) who created the 140,000 code health ontology must have debated and reconsidered their codes many times to reach the complexity of 140,000 codes. But why stop there? I am sure there are other, more specialized contexts which could be coded, and also more general, aggregated contexts that could be matched against a vector of those codes. The choices they made to reach the specific ontology of 140,000 codes were due simply to their collectively subjective judgments leading to a result by the project deadline.
Which brings up another important point, namely that of purpose of the definition, or of the concept/entity being defined, modulo the above discussion. The purpose of the definition is what determines whether a context dimension is material or not. If the differences in definition of C and C' do not alter the intended/desired outcome for some purpose (or set of purposes over some context dimension scope ranges), then they are functionally equivalent definitions in that context "space".
A "purpose" is by definition subjective. I suspect that the committee making up the 140,000 codes in the health ontology considered some attributes of the health care situation, though even at that rich level of predication, The considered attributes couldn't possibly describe every situation into which a patient can find herself disposed. Yet I doubt very much whether the committee members all truly agreed with the attributions made on health contexts. More likely, the chairman, or manager, or director, or pick some other title for the alpha leader, overruled some which she considered outlandish, added some on which she alone insisted, and broke ties among committee members to reach a politically acceptable consensus for her own context of working on the project to get results which satisfy her and her bankers.
So I still believe that there is a C- context, not just a C, C' and C" context, which has to be considered. Large ontologies such as the health ontology above absolutely require politically acceptable contexts in which to operate. That context is the C- (if it could only be described by a perfectly objective uninvolved and unconflicted observer who would probably fall asleep designing the ontology since there would be no motivations for such an objective, uninvolved, unimpacted and unaffected observer. That is why those observers don't exist.
This is the pragmatic aspect of "common" semantics, which many on this forum have brought up in the past. Commonality is a meaningful concept only if one specifies the context "space" (i.e., the range of context dimensions and scope attribute value ranges for each dimension in that "n"-space) over which the concept or entity definition is functionally equivalent among the actors intending to use that definition for some set of purposes.
Again, those aren't "actors", those are subjectively motivated and peripherally inspired politically directed participants seeking the implementation of their own aspects of the ontology which they individually feel are important to them and perhaps to the people they represent. The rest of the ontology, each "actor" must feel, can do whatever they want with it. That doesn't make all committee members motivated to apply the 140,000 codes in toto, just in the areas they want to measure.
The NCOIC SCOPE model is an attempt to define such a context space and scope dimensional "scales" so that two or more systems can determine whether they can interoperate correctly for their intended purposes. Note that semantic interoperability is only a portion of the SCOPE model dimension set. Conversely, the SCOPE model is explicitly limited in scope to interactions that are possible over a network connection. It does not address physical interoperability, for example.
It doesn't seem to me that network communications are as significant as representational divergence. The 140,000 codes will not be interpreted in the same way by all physicians, most of whom will only worry about what has to be reported so they can get reimbursed. Physicians are already over managed and overregulated; they don't even have time to talk to patients much any more. At most, fifteen minutes goes toward listening to the patient and giving a prescription or a referral.
Analysis of the data force fitted into this 140,000 code ontology will be based on what little familiarity each physician has to gain about the codes in his specialty area. Yet all kinds of statistical analysis, classifications, inferences and abductions will be drawn from databases containing signs entered into databases purportedly in compliance with the ontology.
… In this example, the terms as used in C' and C'' are effectively specializations (via added constraints) of the term in C. To transmit a C' or C'' thing as a C thing is a fair substitution; but to receive a C thing as a C' or C'' thing does an implicit narrowing that is not necessarily valid.
In practice, though, such an understanding of the differences (or that there are differences) among similar terms as used in C, C' and C'' often comes out only after a failure has occurred. In real-world use of any sort of language that does not have mechanical, closed-world semantics, that potentially invalid narrowing is not only unpreventable, but is often the "least worst" translation that can be made into the receiver's conceptualization. Every organization and every person applies their own semantic baggage (added constraints) to supposedly common terms; said "local modifications" are discovered, defined and communicated only after a problem arises.
Your analysis seems promising, but I suggest there is at least one more complication; the description of C must also have been loaded with the "semantic baggage" of the person who defined it, just as C' and C" and therefore C seems likely to also be a specialization of some even more abstract concept C- which may not have contained the baggage of C, C' or C".
There is no pure abstraction C- in most of the descriptions for concepts so far as I have seen in our discussions. Every concept seems to have been modulated by the proposer's semantic baggage. Since it is always a PERSON who produces the conceptualization C in the first place, it isn't possible to be that abstract.

The longtime Hyde Park resident talks to Block Club Chicago about her love for the neighborhood that shaped her life — and her politics.
HYDE PARK — It's a neighborhood where legends are made.
From the moment Paul Cornell set down stakes on 51st and Hyde Park Boulevard, the once sleepy hamlet has served as a training ground for people committed to changing the world, for better or worse. Scan a list of Hyde Park notables and you'll find activists, artists, economists, Supreme Court judges and the occasional Nobel laureate.
You'll also find a number of political firsts. The first black mayor. The first black female senator. The first black president. And next week, perhaps, the first black female mayor of Chicago.
While Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle may have a reputation for being serious and demanding, her affection for her adopted hometown is apparent.
It may have been chance that led 18-year-old Toni Reed from St. Paul, Minn. to Hyde Park's University of Chicago campus in 1965, but it was love — community and familial — that has kept her there.
Preckwinkle was impressed by the community's racial and economic diversity, a welcome change from the neighborhood where she grew up.
"Washington Park, Jackson Park, the lakefront…the area is unique and extraordinary in its diversity," she said.
But the city itself, particularly the area surrounding Hyde Park, felt like another world entirely. She could see the decades of aggressive neglect that plagued the Southeast Side, and felt compelled to do something.
Well before becoming the neighborhood's alderman in 1991, a role she would hold for two decades, Preckwinkle volunteered on high-profile political campaigns, like Hubert Humphrey's presidential bid, and Paul Simon's run for lieutenant governor.
In her spare time, she tutored schoolchildren in Woodlawn. She went on to teach in Chicago for a decade.
She also joined a few organizations, like the Independent Voters of Illinois (IVI-IPO), with whom she credits for shaping her worldview.
"The progressive politics are the ones I adhere to today. I'm grateful for all the people in that organization that gave me that political foundation," Preckwinkle said.
"There were communities struggling with disinvestment, and I wanted to work with residents to change it," she said, noting the work she'd later do as alderman to bring affordable housing developments like Willard Square to the ward.
As an undergrad, she could be found hanging out at the Blue Gargoyle, a community hub for teens and young adults in the area, or with friends at Ciral's House of Tiki, a popular dive bar in East Hyde Park that closed in 2000.
Toni Preckwinkle eats at Valois in Hyde Park.
Her favorite Hyde Park haunt, though, might be Valois, the cafeteria-style restaurant favored by residents and city power players alike. She keeps an office space right above it, and grabbing a quick breakfast there has become part of her Election Day ritual, she told Chicago Magazine.
Her go-to order? Scrambled eggs and potatoes with turkey sausage on the side.
"I love the turkey sausage. I get it every time," she said.
The Cook County boss still holds a monthly breakfast with elected officials at Valois and other Hyde Park restaurants — a chance to check in with aldermen and state reps.
Pizza Capri, another family-friendly local institution, is where Preckwinkle gets her chicken Vesuvio fix.
In her downtime, she loves strolling in the Garden of the Phoenix (known to locals as the Japanese Garden), walking her daughter's rescued pit bull, Don, and visiting museums (her favorite being the Museum of Science and Industry, of course) with her grandchildren.
Preckwinkle said that if she wins next week's runoff, the one thing she'll be taking with her to City Hall are the progressive values she's known for — the values that were shaped by her life in Hyde Park.

Sakuma Brothers loses (again) in court, now giving away berries
BURLINGTON, Wash. (July 1, 2014) — Farmworkers at Sakuma Brothers berry farm won another round in court last week after a judge ordered the farm's owners to end their discriminatory denial of housing to farmworkers who participated in last year's work stoppages. Later that same day, Sakuma Brothers opened a 30-acre field for a free strawberry pick because they claim that they do not have the required labor force to harvest the berries.
A recent series of victories in court by Familias Unidas por la Justicia show that there is no shortage of workers who are able to pick the berries, and that have done so for years — but Sakuma Brothers management has prevented a significant portion of their workforce from being able to return to work so far this season.
"In April, Familias Unidas provided Sakuma Brothers with signed statements from over 460 farmworkers who were willing and able to return to work," Familias Unitas said in a statement. "If Sakuma had not attempted to illegally change their housing policies, in addition to their earlier attempt to illegally disqualify 379 Familias Unidas members from employment, this available labor force would be harvesting this field."
A Skagit County Superior Court judge ruled last week that Sakuma had acted illegally in discontinuing its long-standing practice of providing family housing at the labor camps. The vast majority of Familias Unidas members have spouses and children and Sakuma's refusal to begin to provide family housing as ordered by the court has effectively prevented a significant portion of the available workforce from being able to return to work. However, despite the ruling and court order, Familias Unidas reports that Sakuma Brothers has yet to agree to provide family housing to any worker with a family who has applied for it.
TAKE A STAND! Familias Unitas is calling on labor and community supporters to honor its Sakuma berry boycott and not pick the berries that could have, and should have, been harvested by Familias Unidas por la Justicia members. Instead, call Sakuma Berry Farms Management and ask them to recognize the union, and to begin hiring and housing farmworker families immediately. Call Steve or Ryan Sakuma at 360-757-6611 and 360-770-4162.
Here is KING TV coverage of Sakuma's claims of a labor shortage and its decision to give away free strawberries:
Two weeks ago, Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant joined Familias Unidas at a press conference outside of the Roosevelt Square Whole Foods in Seattle to announce her support of the Sakuma berry boycott.
"Workers at Sakuma Brothers Farms have led the way for migrant farmworkers by winning an important victory against wage theft," she said. "But now they are facing retaliation as Sakuma Brothers attempts to prevent further labor organizing. It is the duty of all workers to unite in solidarity to stop this intimidation and lay the groundwork for bigger victories."

Nelson added that another battleground state in the general election is likely to be Ohio. "And guess who I've been talking to: John Glenn," he said. "I think he is prepared to do the same thing in Ohio" if the state becomes key to the election.


Death and destruction revisited Nepal and Bihar on Tuesday when a powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake violently shook the landmass on either side of Mount Everest, stretching to Lhasa in the north and Dhaka in the south.
It came 17 days after a 7.9magnitude earthquake devastated large swathes of Nepal and parts of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, the Himalayan nation's closest neighbours.
Until now, 8,034 people have been reported dead as a result of the first temblor in Nepal, which has just begun rebuilding from the ruins.
Preliminary reports said Tuesday's quake killed 57 peo ple in Nepal while more than 1,100 were injured. The toll may go up, with massive devastation being reported from remote areas close to Tibet.
Late at night, a US Marine copter with eight on boa rd was reported missing.
The US Geological Survey said the 7.3-earthquake, which shook Nepal at 12.50pm (local time) was epicentred 18km from Kodari, a rural settlement 80km east of Kath mandu and close to Tibet.With at least five major aftershocks following soon after, people rushed out of homes into streets in Kathmandu. Panic gripped Kathmandu, which bore the brunt of the massive April 25 quake, as people rushed out of their homes after Tuesday's temblor. People held each other as they ran for safety, crying and making desperate calls to their near ones. On many roads, people stopped their vehicles midway to run for cover.
Fear gripped Nepal's Parliament too. Members fled as the Parliament building shook when Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist) representative Vishnu Poudel was speaking on the rehabilitation of the survivors of the earlier earthquake.
"It was very scary . The ground shook violently ," Reena Shrestha told TOI. Her house at Teku in Kathmandu had developed cracks at many places on April 25."This time the cracks have widened," she said.
"Most of the damage has taken place in Sindhupalchowk and Dolakha districts," said Laxmi Prasad Dhakal, Nepal's home ministry spokesperson. Kodari is ocated in Sindhupalchowk district, where the maximum deaths took place in last month's earthquake. "Twen y districts have been hit this ime," said Nepal's home minister Bamdev Gautam.
Reports said the impact of the earthquake was felt in Tibet's Jilong and Zhangmu regions as well as Lhasa. In the April 25 quake, around 25 peo ple had died on the Tibetan side of the border, where Chinese doctors had treated many injured Nepalese.

The spread of Expressionism
Prof. Dr. Isabel Wünsche
It was represented by artists such as Henri Matisse, Emil Nolde, Käthe Kollwitz and Oskar Kokoschka. Starting in France and Germany, Expressionism spread worldwide at the beginning of the 20th century. In her book "The Routledge Companion to Expressionism in a Transnational Context", Isabel Wünsche, Professor of Art and Art History at Jacobs University Bremen, describes how this happened and which regional varieties developed.
Cover of the book "The Routledge Companion to Expressionism in a Transnational Context"
32 scientists from 25 countries are involved in the English-language compendium, which was supported by the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media. In their essays, the scholars trace artistic developments and discussions in the context of the expressionist movement in the individual cultural regions - from Scandinavia to Eastern Europe and the Balkans to the Iberian Peninsula and on to South Africa, North and Latin America.
Central to the dissemination of this new art form was the journal "Der Sturm", edited by Herwarth Walden in Berlin, which many artists used to orient themselves towards the periphery of Europe. "The strong color language, the means of expression of graphic techniques such as woodcuts, and a personal pictorial language that was used to express emotional states in the interwar period, which went into verism, were attractive for many artists," emphasizes Wünsche. They were guided by artistic developments in Germany or France and on this basis created regional forms of Expressionism.

This project brought together policymakers, practitioners and evaluators in October 2017 to identify key policy research questions in the child support program. The discussions, coupled with a series of informant interviews from 2016, led to the development of the research agenda. It is a framework for the broader child support community to collectively answer pressing policy questions over the next decade.


My original English name is "Bity" which comes from "鼻涕". There are two reasons why I have this name: 1. I usually running my nose 2. First name is "Liu". When I am getting older, I'd like to use my Chinese name because I don't like "Bity" sticking me in my whole life. When I got first job (actually, it my current job), I think I need change to a normal name. Thus, I choose an assonance one, Betty.
During weekend, I like to go mountain hiking and cycling with my family. Beside, we usually go traveling to enjoy the sunshine and beautiful landscape as well.
Finally, I am so glad I am one of your members to learn English together and make friend with you. Thanks for founding this club and all of your essence of studious to last the club so long.
OKOK, I will tell your boss about this sentence. In addition, I am planning to invite your boss to YOYO.

With the passing of Mark Reale in 2012, the band now known as Riot V lost their last original member. Surely a crushing blow to the band, and in a way the end of an era. Regardless, they carry on with Unleash The Fire, the newest addition to a discography spanning well over 30 years.
Before even listening to this album, the song titles concerned me. Obviously, an album can't be judged on those alone, but when you've got a good chunk of the metal-stereotype repertoire on display (we've got METAL, warriors, fire, fighting, riding hard and living free, hammers, fire and more here) hopes for an extraordinary work tend to go down.
However, another part of me can be okay with that stuff in the context of Riot V. Unleash The Fire is really just a good old-fashioned metal album by a good old-fashioned metal band (that has been around in some form since the 1970s). As such, at the same time that my ears are telling me I've heard this type of album before, my taste for metal like this done the right way is telling me I like it.
What does this album sound like? It's got a traditional sound structurally speaking, with the kind of satisfying melodic touches expected in old-school heavy metal riffs, soaring choruses, and spirited guitar solos. There are some deviations from the expected formula though, with an occasional thrash-like aggression and pinch harmonics like in "Fight Fight Fight". Unfortunately, the modern production can dull the edge of the sound at some point, but overall, it's a fun album to listen to.
It's hard to really make a final encompassing statement about Unleash The Fire. It's one of those albums that isn't particularly exciting to listen to as a whole, but has great moments and overall is formed around a solid enough foundation to avoid dipping into badness. I doubt this one will be blowing many minds, but for fans of the genre or band, it's worth a listen.
I only have this album because of the awesome artwork. You should've said something about it, I mean a dude with a seal on his head holding a metal axe with a cyborg arm with lightning all around him is just plain awesome.
You're probably right. A lot of the old Riot covers are weird in an awesome way too, but this one is probably the most metal.

Hi Joanne, cost is $25 for a two hour class. You are welcome to start at any time, you pay as you go.
Hi Carmelina. I live in Camden and I'm about to retire this Christmas. I'm looking to do some form of art class in the new year and you were recommended to me. I'd be grateful for any information you could give me regarding classes in 2017.
At this stage I will be offering Tuesday evening 5.30 till 730. Possibly starting up a Saturday morning class, numbers permitting.
I would be interested in a Saturday morning class – I work in the city so 5:30 is too early for me! Let me know if you do start a Saturday class.
I would be interested to know if the Tuesday classes are still on. Very keen for my daughter.

DEECA is leading implementation of Victoria's first Marine Spatial Planning Framework.
Victoria's marine environment is an active place and how we use it continues to grow and change. Human uses of ocean space need to be organised and balanced to maintain a healthy marine ecosystem that supports multiple uses. The impacts of climate change and population growth must also be considered.
Marine spatial planning helps marine industry, government, and the community better plan activities in the marine environment, now and into the future. It can also support sustainable growth of Victoria's blue economy and climate change adaptation planning.
Marine Spatial Planning Framework
The Marine and Coastal Policy 2020 (PDF, 7.1 MB) includes a Marine Spatial Planning Framework (MSP Framework). The MSP Framework is required under the Marine and Coastal Act 2018.
The MSP Framework guides integrated planning and management of Victoria's marine environment. It also sets out Victoria's approach to marine spatial planning.
The MSP Framework consists of two parts:
Part A provides guidance and policies for marine planning and management decisions in Victoria, whether undertaking marine spatial planning or not.
Part B outlines how to initiate, approve, and undertake marine spatial planning in Victoria.
Part B includes a 3-stage process for marine spatial planning:
Stage 1: determine marine planning areas and identify areas that may benefit from marine spatial planning
Stage 2: seek approval to undertake marine spatial planning using a mechanism in the Marine and Coastal Act 2018
Stage 3: undertake marine spatial planning.
The MSP Framework identifies the Minister responsible for the Marine and Coastal Act 2018 as the lead minister for marine spatial planning. The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) is therefore leading implementation of the MSP Framework, engaging with Traditional Owners, industry, marine users, and government agencies.
Victoria's marine planning areas
The first stage in implementing Part B of the MSP Framework is to undertake a statewide 'first-pass'. The 'first-pass' divides Victoria's marine environment into marine planning areas for future marine spatial planning processes. It also identifies areas that could benefit from marine spatial planning.
Undertaking marine spatial planning
The MSP Framework states that approval to undertake marine spatial planning in a marine planning area is required from the lead minister for marine spatial planning, in consultation with other relevant portfolio Ministers.
Marine Spatial Planning Guidelines
The Marine Spatial Planning Guidelines (MSP Guidelines) provide detailed instructions and guidance on how to undertake a marine spatial planning process in Victoria.
If you would like more information, please contact the Marine Spatial Planning Team - marine.spatial.planning@delwp.vic.gov.au

Q. What is marine spatial planning?
Marine spatial planning considers how uses and activities in the marine environment are spatially organised. It supports integrated management and provides an approach to manage conflicts through existing legislation, policies, and plans.
Undertaking marine spatial planning can have significant benefits. This includes identifying marine habitats that can be recovered or enhanced, supporting the growth of Victoria's blue economy, and supporting climate change adaptation responses across marine sectors. These benefits support long-term planning for existing marine uses (for example, fisheries, tourism, marine transport), emerging uses (for example, offshore wind and ocean energy), and the marine environment.
Q. When is marine spatial planning needed?
To date, most planning and management decisions in Victoria have focused on individual activities or uses (for example, fisheries, tourism, conservation), with responsibility shared between different government agencies and bodies. While this is still appropriate in some cases, marine spatial planning can have significant benefits where decision making is likely to be complex, challenging, or where managing individual activities and uses may be inadequate. As human uses and activities in the marine environment diversify and intensify, marine spatial planning can help to manage conflicts and identify compatibility of uses. This can be especially beneficial in environments with multiple conflicting uses, sensitive or significant habitats, or new and emerging industries.
Q. Who is responsible for marine spatial planning?
The Minister responsible for the Marine and Coastal Act 2018 is the lead minister for marine spatial planning in Victoria. The lead minister will seek approval from all ministers with interests in a marine planning area before authorising a marine spatial planning process, and before approving any resulting marine plan.
Q. Where will marine spatial planning be undertaken? How will marine spatial planning be implemented?
Before a first marine spatial planning process can be undertaken, further investigations and agreement of the following are required:
Who might lead a marine spatial planning process?
What should the governance structure look like?
What is the mechanism for undertaking marine spatial planning (for example, an Environmental Management Plan or a Regional and Strategic Partnership)? Should the mechanism be kept flexible or is a fixed approach preferable?
How might a MSP process and the implementation of a resulting marine plan be funded?
These elements will be explored through implementation of the Marine and Coastal Strategy 2022 and testing of the MSP Guidelines.
Q. What is the Marine Spatial Planning Framework?
The MSP Framework is part of the Marine and Coastal Policy 2020 and is required under the Marine and Coastal Act 2018. The MSP Framework provides guidance and a process for achieving integrated and coordinated planning and management of the marine environment. It sets out Victoria's approach to marine spatial planning.
Marine stakeholders helped to develop the framework through a co-learning and co-design process. Representatives across marine industries, peak bodies, government, non-government groups and marine research participated throughout the process.
Q. Why was the Marine Spatial Planning Framework developed?
The use of Victoria's marine environment is growing and changing. Pressures on marine ecosystems are also increasing, including impacts from climate change and population growth. As a result, there is a need for more integrated and coordinated planning and management across marine sectors. To address this need, the Marine and Coastal Act 2018 requires the development of a statewide MSP Framework as part of the Marine and Coastal Policy.
The MSP Framework provides guidance and a process to consider all activities and uses of the marine environment in an integrated way. Application of the framework will support sustainable and equitable use and development. It will also support the maintenance of a healthy marine environment that provides environmental, social, cultural, and economic benefits, now and into the future.
Q. Where does the Marine Spatial Planning Framework apply?
The MSP Framework applies to Victoria's marine environment, which is defined in the Marine and Coastal Act 2018. It extends from the high-water mark out for 3 nautical miles, or 5.5 kilometres, to the boundary of Victoria's state jurisdiction. This includes all bays, inlets, estuaries, and the Gippsland Lakes. The marine environment extends to a depth of 200 metres below the surface of the seabed, and includes all the animal, plants and other biodiversity associated with the land and water.
Given the dynamic and interconnected nature of marine and coastal environments, adjoining coastal land and marine waters are also considered when conducting a marine spatial planning process.
Q. Will marine spatial planning replace existing marine planning and management (for example, fishing, shipping)?
In Victoria, a range of existing legislation, policies and plans already provide direction for planning, management and decision making in the marine environment. This includes sectors such as marine transportation, energy generation, fisheries operations, and conservation. The MSP Framework does not replace, remove, or duplicate these existing arrangements or replace existing licensed or permitted rights.
Rather, it provides a structure for integrated management, and an approach to manage conflicts through existing legislation, policies and plans. As marine spatial planning is a participatory approach, stakeholders with existing use and access permits, licences or leases will be identified and engaged early in the process.
Q. What are the steps in the marine spatial planning process?
There are five key steps in a marine spatial planning process. These steps were established through the co-learning and co-design process that was undertaken to develop the MSP Framework and are based on internationally recognised best practice. The five key steps and the tasks associated with each step are outlined in the MSP Guidelines.
Q. What are marine planning areas?
A marine planning area is the area to which a marine plan and its identified actions will apply.
The first stage in implementing the MSP Framework is the completion of a broad scale, 'first-pass' to determine marine planning areas and identify which areas could benefit from marine spatial planning in the future. The scope of this work is set out in the MSP Framework. The marine planning areas will inform the next stages of implementing marine spatial planning in Victoria.
In determining the boundaries and size of marine planning areas, the statewide 'first pass' considered a variety of factors as directed by the MSP Framework. This included Traditional Owners' knowledge and cultural values, input from multi-sector stakeholders and environmental characteristics.
Q. What are the MSP Guidelines?
The MSP Guidelines provide instructions on how to undertake a marine spatial planning process in a marine planning area.
The steps in the MSP Guidelines build on the co-learning and co-design process that was undertaken to develop the MSP Framework and have been informed by internationally recognised best-practice. In developing the MSP Guidelines, DEECA have partnered with Traditional Owners, to ensure Traditional Owner knowledge and assertions of Sea Country are incorporated.
Q. What is a Marine Plan?
A marine plan is a key output of the marine spatial planning process. It is a comprehensive strategic document that provides information on existing arrangements, uses/activities, and areas of interest in a marine planning area. Once developed, the marine plan informs and guides planning and management decisions in the area to which the marine plan applies.
Marine plans guide the sharing of marine space by different marine industries, supporting management of cross-sector objectives and outlining priorities that consider individual marine sector policies, strategic plans, and broader environmental goals.
A marine plan brings together Traditional Owners, marine and coastal sectors (for example, fisheries and aquaculture, tourism, conservation, energy generation, marine transport), entities with planning or management responsibilities and stakeholders with interests in the marine planning area.
A marine plan must be developed in accordance with any relevant provisions of the Marine and Coastal Act 2018 and any legislation that applies to the marine environment within the marine planning area.
Q. When will the marine planning areas and MSP Guidelines be released?
It is expected that Victoria's marine planning areas and MSP Guidelines will be released in early 2023. DEECA will then continue to implement the MSP Framework through delivery of the Marine and Coastal Strategy and testing of the MSP Guidelines.
Q. How will marine spatial planning include Traditional Owners and Aboriginal communities?
Traditional Owners have an unbroken custodianship of the land and seas that extends back tens of thousands of years. Their knowledge, understanding, and relationships to Country are fundamental to the health of the environment and the success of any strategy to manage that environment. As such, the importance of Sea Country must be recognised and integrated into marine planning and management through a self-determined approach.
DEECA are partnering with Traditional Owners to implement the MSP Framework. In addition, when undertaking a marine spatial planning process, Traditional Owners must be supported to self-determine:
their roles in marine spatial planning
appropriate protocols and processes for Indigenous Data Sovereignty and how it is embedded in marine spatial planning
how cultural landscapes and values, and Traditional Owner rights and objectives for Country, are reflected in marine spatial planning and resulting marine plans.
Q. How can I get involved?
Victoria's marine environment is used for a diversity of activities including fishing, boating, shipping, recreation, and tourism. Therefore, it is important that all these groups can input and shape how the marine environment is managed.
Marine spatial planning will involve a range of government and non-government groups that have an interest, connection, existing rights, or responsibilities related to a marine planning area.
For more information on opportunities to be involved, please visit Marine and Coasts or contact the Marine Spatial Planning team at marine.spatial.planning@delwp.vic.gov.au.

African players in Europe: Iheanacho, Aubameyang shine in England
London — Nigerian international Kelechi Iheanacho showed he knows how to make an impact as he came off the bench to drive Leicester to a victory that keeps them as Liverpool's closest challengers in the Premier League.
Among other outstanding performances by Europe-based African players this weekend, Jeremie Boga opened the scoring for minnows Sassuolo and they went on to hold Serie A champions Juventus to a 2-2 draw in Turin.
KELECHI IHEANACHO (Leicester)
Iheanacho had a massive impact on his first league outing of the season to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 win for the Foxes over Everton.
The Nigerian came off the bench to set up Jamie Vardy's equaliser before scoring himself for the first time in the Premier League since September 2018, deep into stoppage time.
PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG (Arsenal)
Aubameyang scored twice to salvage a 2-2 draw for Arsenal at Norwich in Freddie Ljungberg's first game in caretaker charge.
The new Gunners' captain had fortune on his side after seeing his first take at a penalty saved by Tim Krul only to be handed the reprieve of a retake for encroaching by Norwich players.
Aubameyang was clinical with his second chance from the spot and produced another fine finish just before the hour mark to finish at the back post from a corner.
WILFRIED ZAHA (Crystal Palace)
Zaha scored for the second consecutive game as Palace ended a five-game winless streak with a 2-0 win at Burnley.
The Ivorian caught England international goalkeeper Nick Pope napping with a fierce strike that sneaked in at the near post for just his second goal of the season.
PAPAKOULI DIOP (Elbar)
Senegalese midfielder Papakouli Diop's goal could not prevent Eibar from losing 4-1 away at high-flying Real Sociedad in La Liga on Saturday.
Diop tucked away Takashi Inui's pull-back to equalise in the 35th minute at Anoeta but Real Sociedad struck three times in the second half to seal a convincing win as Eibar dropped to 16th in the table, two points above the relegation zone.
LAGO JUNIOR (Real Mallorca)
Lago Junior scored a penalty and Lumor Agbenyenu was sent off as Real Mallorca were beaten 2-1 at home by Real Betis on Saturday.
Cote d'Ivoire forward Lago came on at half-time and gave Mallorca hope of a comeback by reducing the deficit from the spot after Betis had scored twice in the first half.
But they were unable to find an equaliser and Ghanaian defender Agbenyenu was given a second yellow card in injury-time for pulling back Betis Diego Lainez.
JEREMIE BOGA (Sassuolo)
Ivorian Boga opened the scoring for Sassuolo in a 2-2 draw at Serie A champions Juventus. The 22-year-old dinked over Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon for his fourth goal this season as 14th-placed Sassuolo claimed their first ever point at the Turin giants who lost top spot in Serie A.
KEVIN-PRINCE BOATENG (Fiorentina)
Ghanian midfielder Boateng returned for Fiorentina after being overlooked for the last three Serie A games with the 32-year-old coming on for the injured French Franck Ribery after the break in a 1-0 defeat to Lecce which piled the pressure on the 13th-placed Tuscany side.
KALIDOU KOULIBALY (Napoli)
A wayward header from Senegalese defender Koulibaly resulted in the equaliser for Bologna, who fought back to win 2-1 in the San Paolo Stadium. Koulibaly headed to clear the ball away from goal but instead Bologna's Andreas Skov-Olsen latched on to volley in. Napoli are seventh as their winless run extended to eight games in all competitions.
KHOUMA BABACAR (Lecce)
Senegalese striker Babacar came off the bench in the second half of a 1-0 win over his former club Fiorentina. The 26-year-old, on-loan from Sassuolo, missed two chances to score a second goal late, but his side held on for their third win this season.
STRELI MAMBA (Paderborn)
Mamba scored a cracking goal to kickstart a Paderborn fightback against RB Leipzig on Saturday. Although Paderborn eventually lost 3-2 after trailing 3-0, Mamba caused Leipzig's defence constant problems, with his fifth goal of the season a just reward for the DR Congo-eligible striker.
ACHRAF HAKIMI (Borussia Dortmund)
Moroccan defender Hakimi put in another breathtaking performance for Dortmund, setting up one goal and providing a consistent threat throughout. Hakimi's cross for Thorgan Hazard's first-half goal was first class and will have Dortmund's sporting director Michael Zorc going over the loanee's contract with a fine-tooth comb to try and prevent his return to parent club Real Madrid. — AFP.
