Once you have answered these questions, brace yourself. You are about to learn what it is to study in a manner that will not only raise your marks, but allow you to study faster and more effectively. Sitting down? Ready to have your tired mind blown away, as you are shown how to study for exams? Right, let's go.
We know what you are thinking. Lack of time is why you are reading this article in the first place. However, you can take effective steps right now to planning for your next test series or exam period. By developing sound time management skills you will allow yourself enough time to prepare for each subject as well as have time to revise. Make sure to take note exactly when exams or tests are scheduled and what the dates are for each subject. Use a calendar and mark down each upcoming examination. This will act as a constant reminder for you to begin with work. We suggest writing dates in red as this colour creates a sense of urgency. When you know you have three weeks to study for that dreaded science final you will feel more motivated to start focusing each time your eye catches the calendar dates.
Ask yourself this: do you focus entirely on your work when you study? Or does your attention tend to mosey towards everything except that stomaching turning Mathematics textbook? Is your Wattsap distracting you as that friendly little "ping" goes off yet again and you return two minutes later to the same page for what seems to be the thousandth time? One of the most important factors while studying is your environment. You may genuinely think that you are more than capable of concentrating with your little brother crashing and playing in the background, but the fact is you cannot. Yes, he may desperately need your help fighting off pretend ninja assassins but that simply will not aid you in any way when it comes to exams. Make the effort to work in silence and without any people around you (unless in an interactive study group). Switch your phone to silent and turn off the radio or TV. As little as 40 minutes spent using effective time management skills and completely focusing on work is more worth it than 2 hours spent dawdling.
The use of a study group is an incredibly helpful tool when preparing for exams. Take the time to sit down with class mates and friends and discuss questions and issues that you all may be experiencing with work. In this way, you have the advantage of not only receiving useful study tips for exams from those who are studying the same work as you are, but by helping others you be effectively "re-teaching" what you have learnt and revising your studies. Keep in mind, however, that study time has to be spent studying and not wholly focused on what you are wearing to the upcoming weekend's parties, as utterly important as this may be.
We are all guilty of reaching for that tempting tube of Pringles rather than that lame looking banana, when we get the study munchies. The problem with this is that not only do those Pringles not help our waistlines, but it does not actually fill or sustain us while we work. Junk food is quickly absorbed in our bodies and has no beneficial worth when it comes to studying. Discipline yourself to eat foods that feed your brain, such as nuts or fruit or a healthy sandwhich. By snacking on good foods we in fact fight off lethargy and sugar crashes when we come down from that junk food high.
The upcoming exam alone can create feelings of anxiety and beads of sweat on most of our foreheads as those final few hours before your exam make you feel as if a seizure is impending. But wait, there is hope! By following the previous 9 steps and having practiced some good old discipline you will not have to endure such suffering any longer.
When following a study schedule we remain constantly aware of what we need to do in order to obtain the results we want. We are able to keep track of progress and afford ourselves enough time to prepare in the best way possible. Yes, it may seem like an incredible waste of time to "plan to study", but try these helpful study tips for exams as it can make the difference you need to raise your marks. And the beauty of it is this: when you raise your marks and your success is visible, your self confidence is raised too.

"I can't remember the last time I devoured a book so eagerly. Magnificent!" --Elin Hilderbrand, New York Times bestselling author
In this powerfully written and insightful novel, author Stacy Robinson explores the consequences of flawed choices, the complex nature of betrayal and forgiveness—and the intriguing possibility of second acts…
Claire Montgomery has a lifetime of sensible decisions behind her. Yet all it takes is one impulsive indiscretion to bring everything crashing down—her marriage to a wealthy entrepreneur, her status as half of one of Denver society's power couples, and the future she dreamed of for their seventeen-year-old son, Nick.
Claire's husband, Michael, angrily blames her for the recklessness that has left Nick's life in the balance, though not nearly as much as Claire blames herself. But as Nick struggles to move forward, Claire too begins inching toward a reimagined future. Along with a fresh perspective come new questions. Are there other reasons for her fractured relationship and Michael's increasingly erratic behavior? Has he, too, been harboring painful secrets? And does Claire dare to find the real truth, when her seamlessly decorated world of privilege and security is at stake?
Stacy Robinson is a novelist and a former marketing and PR professional and teacher. She graduated with a BA degree in International Relations from Stanford University, and worked in Japan in public relations and consulting and as an English language teacher before returning to her hometown of Los Angeles to continue her career in international marketing. Presently she lives in Denver, where she serves on the Executive Board of the Children's Diabetes Foundation and is a member of the Lighthouse Writers Workshop. She is an avid traveler, reader and occasional cyclist, and enjoys the Mile High city and nearby mountains with her husband, three children and chocolate Labrador non Retriever.

Claire Montgomery took a long sip of chardonnay and arched her head back, savoring the cool liquid slide in her throat. Her eye twitched, and somewhere behind her closed lids a faint throbbing set in. She tried to shake it away and placed her glass on the mahogany partners' desk of the study. The throbbing traveled to her neck. She steadied her hands on the back of a chaise and looked out the window to see the crimson dusk wash over her garden and the distant mountains.
Her arms were tanned from hours planting impatiens and peonies despite Michael's insistence that Rigo, the gardener, lighter of winter fires and sous chef to his wife Maria's efforts in the kitchen, could manage it much better. Her watch read seven thirty, and the carats on her finger flickered in the descending sunlight. In the background Joni Mitchell lamented the paving of paradise. Claire tried humming along, averting her eyes from the clusters of family photos on the bookshelves. But there was no shaking it away. The whole thing was so ridiculous, so unlike her. She reached for the phone to tell him not to come after all.
The doorbell rang, and for a second Claire considered ducking under the desk and cupping her hands over her ears. He'd leave, she'd apologize later. Done. Forget the idea of one stolen hour of Oh my God, I matter again, forget the rush and tingle. But a persistent knocking followed the bell, and her thoughts ricocheted to the night at The Palm—to his voice, his scar. And she could hear the pounding in her chest amplified to full acoustic brilliance.
Taking a deep breath and, for good measure, another healthy slug of the Louis Latour, Claire backed away from the desk and walked out to the foyer. Her capri sandals clapped across the floor and the sweet fragrance of Casablanca lilies filled her nose as she fluffed the arrangement on the table before opening the door.
Andrew Bricker stood under the marble portico. Whistling. She reached out to shake his hand and he leaned in and kissed her cheek, admiring her through his glasses.
"Well, don't you look gorgeous," he said, the corners of his eyes creasing with his smile.
She concentrated on keeping her voice calm, her expression casual—donning all her armor to avoid revealing her inner teenager. "It's nice to see you, too. Been enjoying Denver, I hope?"
She smoothed her summer dress over her hips and showed Andrew into the study, offering him a chair at the desk. The remnants of daylight were still fading outside the windows, and the glow brought an eerie calm to the house. Andrew removed an envelope and fountain pen from his jacket pocket and sat down, grazing Claire's bare shoulder as he did.
"I watched The Thomas Crown Affair last night," he said, uncapping his pen and flashing her the same bedroom smile that had launched her into this unfamiliar territory. "Nice recommendation." He paused. "That staircase scene was a real showstopper."
Claire tried to ignore the reference in a desperate attempt to forestall a fantasy detour to three-alarm movie sex. Instead she focused on Andrew's hand as he began writing a note to Michael. She saw the blue-green of his veins roll with his script and heard the scratch of the pen's silver tip along the paper. Again she felt the peculiar sensation that he was also scratching awake something from deep inside her. As if overcome by an uninhibited and wholly incongruous spirit, Claire placed her fingers on top of Andrew's, and was instantly disrobed of what little armor she had left.
Claire had met Andrew Bricker on a pink-sky night the previous week. She'd been downtown finalizing details for the Art Museum gala she was co-chairing—her nine-month, semi full-time, fully unpaid labor of love. And just a few weeks shy of term, all signs were pointing to a record-breaking event. Drawing on her New York and European art world connections, Claire had gathered the exquisite and the exotic for an auction that would be part of the evening's festivities. She'd secured underwriting and matching funds; Harry Connick Jr. would be performing. Denver's art patrons and boldfaced names were in for a spectacular night, and with a last-minute half-million-dollar gift from a certain NFL Hall of Famer and a late rush in table sales, Claire was in the mood for some early celebration.
She gave Maria and Rigo the evening off, then dialed Michael's cell as she paced the cluttered museum office, jotting notes for the volunteers and staff.
"Hell-o," Michael answered, with his usual emphasis on the first syllable.
"Hell-o, yourself. How do you feel about a festive night on the town with your wife?"
"Ah, your little project must be going well."
Claire kept her smile fixed. "Yes, my little project looks like it's going to be a huge success, and I'd love a celebratory cocktail." She punctuated a Post-it note with red exclamation points and placed it on a file folder as she continued. "And maybe a little something else. So whaddya say, honey? Can we sneak off for some fun tonight?"
Michael cleared his throat and laughed in his clipped Bostonian way. "Sounds interesting, but I'm in the middle of a meeting at The Palm, and I'm afraid I've put Mr. Bricker here through the wringer. And I'm not quite finished." He had mentioned Andrew Bricker before. A young VC player in from New York making the investment rounds. Michael's lighthearted tone betrayed a thinly veiled enthusiasm for his guest's business pitch. "Lemme call you back in a few minutes?"
Claire sat on the edge of a desk and massaged the arches of her bare feet, fighting off a sense of deflation, and wistfully contemplating her early days in New York with Michael and the white-hot passion they'd shared then. How he'd jump at the chance for an unexpected rendezvous, and how he had loved to show her off to his colleagues, bragging about her latest projects at Sotheby's and her expertise in a world they didn't understand. But the farther they'd traveled from that time, the more he seemed to have replaced those memories with the weightier issues of business and busy living. She slipped into her slingbacks again and paused to remind herself that there was nothing unique in such marital hills and valleys. She'd had countless conversations with girlfriends about absent, inattentive spouses—especially those whose names regularly appeared in the business section—and she always walked away from those female bonding fests thinking that she and Michael had done it far better than most.
Still, her mind wandered to a recent Sunday morning when they had been lounging in the sunroom, sipping their coffee and reading the New York Times. Michael had pulled out the crossword puzzle and uncapped his pen while she was still in the middle of the Book Review section. They always saved the puzzle for last to work on together, but he'd started without her, as if their history had been etched in her mind alone. She glanced up between reviews to see if he was making any progress. After a brief run, he appeared stymied.
"Italian Renaissance artist, six letters. That's your department, Clarabelle." Michael looked across the ottoman with an exhausted expression, pointing his pen in her direction. "Fourth letter's a t, I think."
"Giotto," she'd replied, swallowing her disappointment and reminding herself that he hadn't been sleeping well, that the snub was likely due to fatigue.
He filled in the boxes with staccato strokes and moved on to the next clue.
Claire watched him for several minutes, willing him to remember them. But his focus remained on the paper, his brow creased in exaggerated concentration. "You know," she offered in a buoyant voice, "it looks like we might bring in a new collection of de Koonings and some other incredible pieces next year."
Michael set the paper aside, appearing slightly less distracted. "What?"
"The gala, it's going to provide some important opportunities—"
Before she could finish he was standing beside her, one finger pressed to her lips while his other hand untied her robe. "You're doing great work, all of you gals at the museum." Artfully he slipped off his pajama bottoms. "Really great, babe. You should be proud."
Sunlight angled through the bamboo shades and jade-and-gold faille drapery, washing them in a warm glow. Michael hit play on the sound-system remote and Claire bolstered herself with the fact that enthusiasm was enthusiasm. She closed her eyes and propped her feet on the ottoman, curved her body into his, and they slipped into the rhythm of their years together, making silent love with her arms wrapped around the small of his back. The rustle of newspaper and the sting of Liza Minnelli's "Maybe This Time" bookended her let's just let it slide slide into sex. Just before Michael was ready to come, Claire grasped his thighs with both hands and pulled him deeper into her. He thrust faster, shuddered, and leaned back on his elbows, their bodies fashioning an unsteady X. She opened her eyes to see that his were still squeezed shut, his mouth frozen in a tight expression—reminding her of the grimacing Phoenician mask she had seen at the Louvre the previous summer. When they untangled, she waited for him to pull on his pajamas, which he did, as always, within seconds of finishing. She laughed silently at his fastidiousness. He sat back down in his chair and wiped at a phantom smear of newsprint from the knee of the paisley pajamas. Shards of violet and indigo bisected his face.
"I spoke to Nicholas yesterday," Claire said, leaning in toward him and pulling her hair away from her damp neck. "He may need you to go with him to Andrisen Morton to pick up a tux for the benefit when he gets back from Andover." She took his foot in her hands and began to massage it. "He's not exactly thrilled about it, but it should be a nice little outing for the two of you."
"Of course he's not thrilled. He's a teenager—seventeen already, Jesus," he'd said with the same odd tinge of distress and disbelief that had been coloring similar oft-repeated remarks since Nick's October birthday. "And teenage boys don't want to attend boring black-tie benefits. Hell, I don't like to attend boring black-tie benefits. They're a waste of chicken." The light had shifted, and the rainbow had moved to the east wall. Michael slid his foot to the floor and stood. "I ... didn't mean your deal, Claire. Just tell me the date and the time." He walked to the foyer muttering seventeen, his head canted and his mind somewhere else, not there.
"I already have."
A staff member peeked into the office and flashed Claire a check for a new Platinum Level table from Carolyn and Robert Spencer. She smiled gratefully, relocating her happy mood. Even with the economy in its dreadful state, her friends were stepping up and supporting the event. She made a few more notes for the auctioneer and telephoned Carolyn to thank her and make lunch plans, while she waited for Michael's call. It came fifteen minutes later.
"Sorry for the delay, babe. Everything okay on your end?"
"Well ... things are good, but could be even better." She adjusted the straps of her shoes and ran her fingers slowly up her calf, waiting.
"Andrew and I were about to order some more drinks and a couple rib eyes," he said, sounding preoccupied.
"Then I guess my hopes for a little celebrating are dashed."
"You could join us if you want," Michael allowed after a short pause.
Claire hopped off the desk and stared out the window overlooking the skyline. "Is that the best you can do?"
"Okaay," he scrabbled. "How about some scintillating con versation and serious red meat to go with your cocktail? And Sabina's waiting on us. I'm sure she'd love to see you."
"Hmm. Two men for the price of one, a juicy steak, and Sabina? I guess that is my best offer of the day. I'll head over."
A fiery sunset hovered above the downtown high-rises, and a wind rustled the branches of the honey locust trees on the Sixteenth Street Mall. She walked to the restaurant, suppressing her chagrin that she'd had to goad her husband into an invitation that once would have come with enthusiasm, and arriving twenty minutes later focused on a triumphant bottom-line gala figure, and a taste for champagne.
As Claire navigated her way to their usual table just below Michael's autographed caricature on the wall, she raised her hand in a small wave to her husband. Michael nodded back and the man who sat beside him turned his head in her direction. His lips parted a fraction, and Claire watched him watch her approach. Behind his off-kilter smile, he appeared to be in his late thirties, a few years shy of her forty-three, and not at all like the rep tie, overgrown frat-boy types Michael often did business with. She noticed his eyes travel from her legs to her silk blouse that shifted over her lace camisole, before resting his gaze on her face. The gesture came as an almost satisfying, welcome surprise. Claire lowered her eyes and smiled toward a table of women coated with the glitz and hope of a girls' night out.
"Hi, babe," Michael said from his seat while craning his face upward to give her a kiss. "Don't you look elegantly exhausted. Busy day?"
She tucked her windblown hair back into place. "Fabulous day, actually." Claire extended her hand to Andrew. "So nice to meet you, Mr. Bricker. Michael's told me about you."
"Good reports, I hope?" Andrew stood with Claire's hand in his and pulled out a chair for her.
He was an inch or two taller than Michael's six feet, with the broad shoulders and slim torso of a swimmer—a butterflyer, Claire imagined. A faint scar rose from the center of his lip to the side of his nose, and his dark, wavy hair and tortoiseshell glasses reminded her of an enthralling Spanish artist she'd worked with in her first New York job. The young Spaniard had suffused his work with a complexity that belied his age, and Claire recalled for an electric instant the monumental self-control it had taken—despite the artist's best efforts—to keep their relationship professional. "Thank you, sir," she said to Andrew with the playful flirtatiousness Michael had once adored.
She ordered a glass of Veuve and surveyed both men. Michael wasn't wearing his usual poker face. He'd loosened his tie and was toasting Andrew, drawing him in. A platter of oysters arrived, a bottle of wine. They talked markets and interest rates, laughed knowingly over encounters with Trump and Larry Ellison, and made more toasts as Michael teased out inside figures and details on the biomedical company Andrew had come to pitch, and Andrew engaged them with a charismatic and cultured wit. The seduction was ramping up, and Claire could see there was an important deal in the offing. Andrew had something Michael wanted. She sipped her champagne appreciatively, enjoying how the evening was stacking up after all.
"So, where in New York did you say you live?" Claire asked Andrew over her petit filet.
"Soho. Just a quick walk to Balthazar." He smiled an intimate, reflective sort of smile. "I have several acquaintances with galleries in the area, which is also nice."
Claire pegged him as a sophisticated player. He was Tom Ford in a town whose tastes ran more toward mountain chic or, like Michael, Brioni suits and Hermes ties. She was amused by the contrast. Michael, always perfect and handsome in his French cuffs and sterling cuff links, his blond hair cut short and neatly groomed with pomade, was a man who took pride in his appearance. Andrew was more of an unmade bed—handsomely disheveled with a bit of scruff on his chin and maybe a tiny smear of lip gloss on his collar. As the wine and conversation flowed she tried to imagine what his acquaintances might look like.
"Do you know Arcadia Fine Arts?" she asked, picturing Greene Street's cobblestones and the exquisitely curated space where she'd first seen the Spaniard's work showcased.
"Sure. They bring in some interesting new artists. Great parties, too. I'm just around the corner."
"Ah. You must live in one of those wonderful cast iron buildings, then?"
Andrew gave her an intrigued nod, poised, it seemed, to walk with her through that neighborhood of her past.
"So," Michael interjected, reinserting himself into the conversation, "you're a big gallery aficionado, Andrew?"
Andrew turned his head toward Michael, but managed to keep his focus on Claire. "I am. Although I like to check in on the Met occasionally, too."
"Oh, this one," he said, glancing sideways at Claire, "is always trying to drag me to some new show or exhibit or some crazy event when we're in town." Michael had drunk enough wine to be careless with his casual mockery.
"Drag you?" Claire tried to remain good-natured about his comment as she slapped his elbow in mock outrage. The water in his glass jumped the rim and dribbled down his wrist, and she saw the controlled surprise of his expression mirror her own. "We've had some of our best afternoons in Manhattan at museums." She dabbed at the water stain with her napkin and tried to smile through her embarrassment.

Varsity hosts workshop on affordable housing materials
KNA2 October 25, 2022 Counties, Editor's Pick, Meru, Technology 0
Meru University of Science and Technology (MUST) is holding a two-day global workshop aimed at coming up with possible innovations that will ensure the availability of affordable housing materials.
Addressing the media on the side-lines of the workshop, the University's Vice-Chancellor Professor Romanus Odhiambo said researchers from the University and technical people from Italy, Sweden, Tanzania, and Uganda have come together to find a solution to the housing problem that has been facing Kenyans and Africans at large.
"The housing situation in Kenya and the whole of the African continent is not very good and we are all aware that many people are moving from rural to urban areas where there are no proper housing facilities. This has resulted in cities and towns which are basically not good for people to live," said Professor Odhiambo.
During the workshop, he added, we will be discussing what is it we can do as a university, scholars, and other stakeholders to mitigate some of these problems.
He said building is expensive in Kenya starting with the land, but that is not as serious a problem compared to the cost of building materials.
"The materials are so high that ordinary people can't afford them, no wonder only about 30 percent of the 50 million people have decent housing," said Professor Odhiambo adding that the University was trying to see how they can come up with a technology innovation that can come up with materials that can bring the cost down.
"This is based on research and after that, it is expected the researchers will come up with innovative products which already they have and eventually get to commercialize and work with people that are interested in this," he said.
Dr. Joseph Mwiti, a researcher from the University, said they have been leading in developing low-cost construction materials, especially cement which accounts for nearly 50 percent of the construction cost that goes into a building.
"We are trying to lower the cost of cement by developing new alternative cement that is clay-based bearing in mind that clay is virtually found in almost all the counties in Kenya.
He said they were also aiming at changing the landscape for the cement industries in Kenya considering that most of the cement industries are located along Nairobi-Mombasa Road in Athi river because of the proximity to the raw materials.
"We hope this is going to revolutionize the construction industry in terms of reducing the cost of cement which will in return lower the cost of construction," said Dr. Mwiti.
He said the institution has already developed clay-based cement and was at the moment seeking industrial partners in terms of production.
"We want to thank our partners in this endeavour including Professor Luca Valentini of the University of Padova, Italy, Professor Raine Isaksson, Uppsala University, Sweden, Dr. Apollo, Makerere University, Uganda, and Dr. Fatma Mohamed of the University of Dar Salaam, Tanzania who have been very instrumental in ensuring that we achieve the dream of affordability in terms of housing.
He said the cement has already been tested and has met the East African standards for use as a cement binder.
"We look forward to having more clay in the cement and continue reducing the cost. We will also be having more engagements with the policymakers who develop the standards so that we can even get more quantities of clay into this cement," said Dr. Mwiti.
He said the clay-based cement is friendlier to the environment since it was reducing the clinker used in the production by 50 -percent.
"This is good news to the government in the sense that the carbon being emitted is proportional to the amount of clinker that we use. For every tonne of clinker that we produce, an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide is emitted," he said.
He added: "Therefore if we lower the clinker amount in clay-based cement by 50 percent, we are likely to realize carbon reduction of an equivalent amount."
He said they have received great support during the development of the research in terms of research funding from Kenya National Innovation Agency and the state department for housing.
Mr. Antony Ngángá from the state department of housing said they were excited to partner with the University and especially on issues pertaining to building technologies.
"We usually use appropriate technologies that are available in the market some of which are imported and we are really excited when we have the technology being produced here," said Mr. Ngángá.
He also challenged the researchers to initiate better technologies and innovations in roofing materials to lower the cost of constructing houses as much as possible.

Mumbai: Share buybacks by information technology (IT) firms in the country impede their ability to invest for their future business needs, global rating agency Moody's Investors Service said on Wednesday.
It can be noted that the last few years have seen a high number of share buybacks from the country's cash-rich IT companies.
"High levels of cash outflows to shareholders are reducing the ability of Indian IT services companies to respond to business demands, including the acquisition of new technology, as well as research and development to meet fast-evolving customer needs," said Saranga Ranasinghe, assistant vice-president, Moody's Investors Service.
The agency, however, said Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys, the top two software exporters, can be an exception to it.
"TCS and Infosys, therefore, have the financial strength to invest in their businesses and respond to external pressures, despite their high shareholder payouts," he said.
According to the agency, TCS and Infosys have cash balances of $6.6 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively.
However, others who had done buybacks, including Genpact, Marble II (Mphasis) and HT Global IT Solutions (Hexaware), have retained little cash for growth spending after returning large amounts to shareholders, it said.
These three firms have a limited ability to incur fresh debt at their current rating levels, the agency added.
In the last year, five of the six IT firms it rates have returned back 130 percent of cash flow from operations less capital spending to shareholders.
The agency said it is important for companies to maintain "solid liquidity buffers" to respond to changing business conditions in the face of challenges like rising competition, pricing pressure and increasing employment costs.
It expects the Indian IT firms to have a good showing in the next two years, largely due to the demand for digital solutions.

Sometimes going home is just the beginning...
'Vivid and beautifully written, Liz Fenwick is a gifted storyteller' Sarah Morgan, Sunday Times bestselling author
'Atmospheric, emotional and full of mystery - an absolute pleasure from page one' Veronica Henry, Sunday Times bestselling author
Boskenna, the beautiful, imposing house standing on the Cornish cliffs, means something different to each of the Trewin women.
For Joan, as a glamorous young wife in the 1960s, it was a paradise where she and her husband could entertain and escape a world where no one was quite what they seemed - a world that would ultimately cost their marriage and end in tragedy.
Diana, her daughter, still dreams of her childhood there - the endless blue skies and wide lawns, book-filled rooms and parties, the sound of the sea at the end of the coastal path - even though the family she adored was shattered there.
And for the youngest, broken-hearted Lottie, heading home in the August traffic, returning to Boskenna is a welcome escape from a life gone wrong in London, but will mean facing a past she'd hoped to forget.
As the three women gather in Boskenna for a final time, the secrets hidden within the beautiful old house will be revealed in a summer that will leave them changed for ever.
The Path to the Sea beautifully evokes the mystery and secrets of the Cornish coast, and will be loved by fans of Kate Morton and Rachel Hore.

Australian bishops adopt new Safeguarding Standards
Canberra, Australia, Jun 3, 2019 / 11:19 am (CNA).- Last week the Australian bishop' conference and Catholic Religious Australia adopted new standards to combat the sexual abuse of children and vulnerable adults in the wake of a 2017 report on such abuse in the country's institutions.
The National Catholic Safeguarding Standards were adopted May 30.
"These National Catholic Safeguarding Standards draw from the Child Safe Standards outlined during the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse and align with the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations, but they provide additional criteria relevant to the governance of the Church," Sr. Monica Cavanagh, president of CRA, stated.
"The standards will allow Catholic entities and the public to have additional confidence in the Church's approach to addressing the tragedy of abuse and to building a culture of safety for all, especially for the young and the vulnerable."
Catholic Professional Standards Limited, a non-profit which promotes child protection by auditing and reporting on Catholic entities, developed and released the standards. CPSL was founded in 2016.
The 10 standards include committed leadership, informed children, partnership with families, complaints management, and ongoing education. They will focus first on children, and be extended to vulnerable adults.
"Much has already been achieved," Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane commented. "But more work remains to be done and we are committed to making the changes required."
He added that "in addition to what's been done and is being done locally, new guidelines from Pope Francis are helping to strengthen the Church's global response to child sexual abuse –although many of the protocols and processes in place in Australia go beyond what the Pope is asking."
The pope promulgated universal norms on sex abuse reporting which took effect June 1, days after the adoption of the National Catholic Safeguarding Standards. The norms of Vos estis lux mundi establish that clerics and religious are obliged to report sexual abuse accusations to the local ordinary where the abuse occurred. Every diocese must have a mechanism for reporting abuse. When a suffragan bishop is accused, the metropolitan archbishop is placed in charge of the investigation.
Archbishop Coleridge also said the Church in Australia is implementing the relevant recommendations of the Royal Commission.
A report from the Australian Royal Commission released in December 2017 found serious failings in the protection of children from abuse in the Catholic Church and other major secular and religious institutions.
The Royal Commission urged a program to compensate the victims of institutional child sex abuse, which the Church in Australia established in July 2018.
It also proposed that priests be legally obligated to disclose sexual abuse sins which have been admitted in the confessional, or face criminal charges.
The Australian bishops' conference responded positively to nearly all the Royal Commission's recommendations, but has defended the sanctity of the confessional seal.

6 - A PARATHYROID ADENOMA IN THE STERNOHYOID MUSCLE
Parathyroid auto-transplantation in the neck muscles is commonly practiced by surgeons to prevent post-operative hypoparathyroidism in the setting of total thyroidectomy. We present a rare case of a patient with a history of total thyroidectomy and auto-transplanted parathyroid glands into the sternohyoid muscle who developed primary hyperparathyroidism from a parathyroid adenoma arising from this auto-transplanted tissue.
A 71-year-old woman with a history of papillary thyroid cancer underwent an uneventful total thyroidectomy 18 years ago. During the surgery, she had 2 parathyroid glands auto-transplanted into the left infrahyoid (strap) muscles. She has since been cancer-free. She later presented with biochemical findings consistent with primary hyperparathyroidism with normal renal function. Computed tomography scan of the neck demonstrated a hyper-enhancing lesion within the left infrahyoid muscles, which correlated with parathyroid sestamibi scan that revealed increased radiotracer activity within the lesion. This was indeed confirmed intraoperatively as there was a palpable nodule within the left sternohyoid muscle that was easily wedged out. Intraoperative intact parathyroid hormone level appropriately declined from 84 pg/mL to 12 pg/mL. Pathological analysis confirmed an irregular lobulated tan-red hypercellular parathyroid tissue measuring 1.5 x 1.2 x 0.6 cm and weighing 0.772g. Intact parathyroid hormone and calcium levels normalized after surgery.
Auto-transplantation of parathyroid tissue is an established practice after total thyroidectomy. Without parathyroid tissue, regulation of calcium is affected and hypocalcemia can ensue. To circumvent this problem, parathyroid glands are excised and transplanted commonly into strap muscle to prevent permanent hypoparathyroidism. A rare complication from this practice is progression of parathyroid tissue into parathyroid adenoma producing primary hyperparathyroidism as illustrated in this case.
Parathyroid tissue auto-transplanted into neck muscle can rarely progress to parathyroid adenomas. Patients with a history of total thyroidectomy who subsequently develop primary hyperparathyroidism can have this unique etiology included in the differential.

In my previous article specifically on style, How to define Style, I made an attempt at defining what style is. In this article let's take a look at some of the things you can do to find your own personal style.
You can identify your body type by going to this page and then follow the guidelines for your specific body type.
You may also like to identify your vertical body type.
Write down some words that describe your personality. How would you currently describe it? Do you feel that your style reflects your personality?
Have a look at various different styles. Which do appeal to you most?
3. Which colors inspire you?
Colours can also have a huge effect on your style and how you feel. Understand how certain colours make you feel. You may like to read my article on the psychology of color.
If you don't use much color in your current style, you may start to experiment a bit by adding bits of colors through accessories and see how these make you feel.
Whenever you see others wearing clothes you admire or like, try to get a picture and paste it in a note or scrapbook or pin it on Pinterest. After a while, you will see a pattern developing of the kind of styles that you like. Take note of that and remind yourself about this style before going for the latest fashionable trend.
Be honest. Which garments in your closet do you REALLY like. How many of the garments have you not worn for a long time. How many were 'mistakes'. Again, write down what didn't work. Which clothes make you HAPPY? Then donate or swap any items that you know don't really work for you. They may be great pieces, but if they don't suit YOU or your body type or create the silhouette you are after, you will not look stylish in them. Have a look at my wardrobe editing series and create a wardrobe that you love!
I'm sure this happened to you. You see an absolutely wonderful piece of clothing at a rock bottom price. It fits your body, style personality and creates a silhouette you like. You try it on, but it's just a little bit too short or too tight. You buy it anyway because the piece is so lovely and it's cheap. This is a big mistake. Any clothing that does not fit you properly will never look good on you. So please beware of sales and only buy new clothes when you really adore them and they fit you properly (or that you can easily alter to fit you).
If you felt wonderful on any particular day wearing a certain outfit, write it down. Or better even, take a picture. I have found that taking pictures of myself is a great help in recognising which outfits worked and looked good and which ones didn't. This will help you identify your style and prevent you from making buying mistakes.
True style defies fashion trends. Although it is nice to add some trendy pieces each season, you should only go for the trends that suit you. Try to wait for a trend that suits you and then buy several pieces.
If through all of the above you got a clearer sense of what you like and what suits you, you need to determine if you have the basic essentials necessary for your particular style.
These basics will be different for all of you. Go trhough your inspiration book and determine the absolutely necessary essentials for your style. Here is also what some style experts have to say about your wardrobe essentials.
Once you have covered the basics of your style, look for some wonderful statement pieces that are truly unique for you. Try to be creative and mix both high and low end brands together. Create something unique!
Accessories are easier to change and it's also easier to be very creative with them. Invest in a good pair of shoes and choose the perfect hand bag for your style. If you understand your style well, it may not be necessary at all to have many shoes or handbags. Rather, you could focus on getting the perfect ones. One of these accessories may become part of your signature style. Something that uniquely defines you.
Let me know if these tips work you for you!
P.S. I created a FREE 5 day challenge for you that will allow you to find and define your style in 5 easy steps. Find out more and join the challenge for free here.
Very useful post! Its great you've decided to give tips how to create personal style!
Thank you so much for these tips. I just got a new job after being a stay at home mom and I have been stressing about what to wear. You have taken the edge off of my prep and I am so thankful. I realized I have a few things that work, so I don't have to start over, and now I know what I need. Thank you!
Great to hear that these tips were helpful to you Darien. Wishing you good luck with your new job and hope to connect with you again on the site!
I know this is a long ago post, but I'm having fun flipping through the archives.
I found style after I learned to paint. I started to understand color theory and suddenly I could mix and match my wardrobe, where before I could never understand how to do it. It's a way of being a little bit artistic every morning. One of the most important things I do is I arrange my clothes by color so my (very small) closet is a rainbow. It helps me mix and match and also to know where I have a lot of clothes of a color (um, no more orange) or nothing in a color.
Great that you are browsing old articles Lisa. It's good that they are not forgotten!
Yes, I do the same thing. As you say, it's a great way to know which colors are still lacking!
Thank you for such a lovely blog. All the tips you've shared on finding your own style are particularly helpful – you've spurred me into action!
Hello Sylvia. I am an older woman, but my fashion sense seems to go back to the 1970. (not hippy styles 🙂 Do you think is is all right for a woman of my age to wear long shirts and dresses? I love jeans and unusual shirts with sandals. I'd even wear sandals with my long skirts. This is the style I have loved for years. Am I too old for this??? Thank you for listening.
No I don't think so. I think it's important to stay true to your style. The most important thing is to OWN the look and wear it with confidence!
I have been following your tips and I couldn't believe it when recently on holiday another lady came up to me and said that she and her husband loved my style and the way I dressed. I was so flattered. I wonder if this happens often to other women of our age?
Wonderful to hear. I think other people can appreciate great style at any age!
I think another important thing to look for in buying clothes is finding something that is comfortable. I have made the mistake of buying items that don't feel good on. I end up never wearing them and end up just wasting money. You can still find plenty of pieces that are comfortable and stylish!
Great steps on how to find my style. I had no idea that things like understanding my personality and knowing which colors inspire me will help me determine what my style of clothing is. I would think that having feedback from your peers would also be a good indicator of what looks good and what doesn't. If you aren't sure, you could just wear something and see if you get any compliments.
I've read some other articles about this topic. but your article gave me better reasons and feel a nice sense of it.

How To Handle Your Lifeline Complaints
Do you have Lifeline Complaints that you want to get addressed? Lifeline free cell phone service is a fantastic benefit, however, it's far from perfect. I get emails and forum posts practically on a daily basis from customers who have Lifeline complaints. They pretty much cover the full array of issues, concerns, and questions, including:
I can't activate my phone.
My phone doesn't work.
My service was canceled, and I don't understand why.
My phone works, but it's junk; it's slow, hard to use, and the battery doesn't last very long.
I know new customers get a smartphone; why can't I?
My application/re-certification keeps getting denied, because someone else already on the program is using my mailing address.
My minutes are disappearing.
My new minutes for the month aren't showing up.
I'm trying to get in touch with a live customer care agent, but can never get past the automated system.
Complaining With The Right Tone Is Important!
The greatest challenge is getting the ear of these companies to make your Lifeline complaints known. As you can imagine, it's run as a low cost program. Although carriers definitely make money from it, the margins are much lower than traditional cell service. As a result, the level of customer service is several notches below normal service, which most people would surely describe as already lacking!
So what can you do? Posting about your experience on this forum, and forums like it, are certainly helpful, as they do garnish some attention from carriers, and provide a great resource for current and prospective customers. However, official complaints can be even more powerful. It's important to note that regardless of what avenue you use to complain, it's critical that you be clear, articulate, and state the facts. Getting overly emotional, and even rude, won't get you anywhere. Be firm, but polite, and dare I say, even be respectful.
Keep in mind that you're not talking the owners, or even the working level responsible for the decisions that have resulted in your negative experiences. People just like you and I, doing their jobs, will be reading and responding. Regardless of how in the right you might be, if you're abrasive, they're not going to be motivated to spend their precious time trying to help you. There are so many other complaints that they can invest their time in. So talk to them as though you're talking to your family, friend, or boss.
Complaining takes time! Keep this in mind. It's not just a matter of firing off an email, and you're done. You're always going to have to demonstrate that you've made best efforts to articulate your concerns directly with your provider. I'm not saying you need to wait weeks or months, or phone them dozens of times, however, do make an effort. Try calling them, and requesting to speak with a supervisor. If you can't get through, try one or two additional times. Try contacting them via their website. Many companies also now use Facebook and/or Twitter to provide customer support, so try those mediums as well.
How Do I File A Lifeline Complaint?
Assuming directly contacting the company doesn't get you what you need, filing official Lifeline complaints is definitely your next recourse. Here are four avenues worth considering:
The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, is an official governing body for Lifeline, so lodging a complaint with them is a good first move. You can start on their website: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us
The Universal Service Administration is another official government body with Lifeline oversight: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us
Each state has a Public Utility Commission (PUC), which includes wireless. As their information is subject to change, simply to a search for your state and PUC; for example: "california puc". The first or second listing in the results will be the link you're looking for.
You can also try the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB is a great source of information when you're first researching which Lifeline provider to use (if you have multiple options in your location), as it lists actual customer complaints, and whether they were resolved. Generally speaking, companies want to rank well with the BBB as it's a gauge of how happy, or not, a company's customers are. Note, however, that the BBB doesn't have any authority to effect any real change as a result of your Lifeline complaint. That said, I've worked at carriers in the past that had dedicated people to specifically monitor BBB complaints and work to resolve them. Personally, I've used it myself (not for wireless), and was able to get the company to respond. You can start here: https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/get-started

If there's one thing that all Austinites have in common, it's this: When the weather gets hot, we flock to the nearest pool, swimming hole, or river to get our float on. And Barton Springs, a three-acre natural rock pool in the heart of Austin fed from an underground spring, is the perennial favorite. After a day of alternating jumping into the icy waters and baking on the grassy banks, you're sure to want to stumble through heat-induced hallucinations toward the nearest margarita, paleta, or chilled snack. Read on for the best ice-cold food and drink the area has to offer.
If you're craving some nutrients after your swim (we won't tell anyone that your most strenuous move was reapplying sunscreen), head down the street to JuiceLand for fresh-pressed juice and smoothies. We recommend the Xtra Holla Pain Yo! to wake you up: a carrot-orange-lime juice with cilantro, turmeric, jalapeño, sea salt, and habanero pepper.
Nothing beats El Alma's rooftop patio on a hot day, except maybe sitting on the rooftop patio with a margarita. For a spicy twist on the classic, try their Chilanga, a frozen 'rita made with orange and Valentina hot sauce with a chile rim. So good you'll be stopping by the store afterward in hopes of re-creating it at home (spoiler alert: It's not the same).
Okay, so salads aren't exactly ice-cold, but if you're looking for an actual meal that's still cool and refreshing, Unity Vegan Kitchen is a great option. The quinoa tofu salad contains a near-rainbow of spinach, seasoned garlic tofu, toasted sesame quinoa, red peppers, and purple cabbage with a spicy peanut dressing.
Check out The Picnic food trailer park for newcomer Steel City Pops, a company whose storefronts and carts have been catching on around the country. The company's inspiration was gourmet Mexican paletas the founder tasted in Nashville, and true to their origins they now offer, among other flavors, an horchata paleta that can't be missed.
A bowl of steaming hot Thai food may not be what you're craving after a day at the Springs, but Coat & Thai's Thai iced coffee might be just the pick-me-up you need. Also located at The Picnic, this food truck's coffee is strong and delicious. Not a coffee person? They have Thai iced tea as well.
Named for William Barton, the original settler of the area and Barton Springs' namesake, Uncle Billy's brews their own beer and serves it up cold — a great way to end a day of lounging around at the Springs. Try their Barton Springs pale ale (what else?), a balanced and slightly bitter beer with citrus and floral aromas and a touch of sweetness.
What could be more refreshing than gazpacho on a hot summer's day? Barlata Tapas Bar serves their version of the cold tomato soup made with tomatoes, peppers, red onion, cucumber, almonds and mint. And because their focus is small plates, you'll have plenty of room left for their other tasty, refreshing nibbles.
New rule: When it's hot out, ice cream counts as a meal. Check out Holla Mode Thai Style Ice Cream for made-to-order seasonal flavors, including Remember the Alamode, a dark chocolate ice cream flavored with red chili and honey. "Thai style" means the liquid ice cream is poured onto a frozen surface, mixed with add-ins of your choice, and scraped into artful curls.


Use this handy controller to regulate the temperature in your freezer between 20 - 80F . Great for turning a chest freezer into a keg refrigerator. Strictly a mechanical thermostat for cooling only, it is simple to use and economical. It operates with a gas filled probe on a 6-foot capillary tube. When the gas contracts or expands in the probe, it triggers a mechanical device inside the control which turns the power on or off. There is no probe temperature readout on the dial, so keeping a thermometer inside the refrigerator is highly recommended to keep track of the actual temperature. On most refrigerators, the controller will allow a usable range of 37 to 80 F, while on freezers, the controller will be able to reach its full 20 to 80 F range. Features: Made of stainless steel. Adjustable with the turn of a knob. No drilling necessary. Plug unit into wall and then run the sensor into your freezer. Male and female plug in one. Specs: Temperature dimensions: 4 3/8" H x 2 1/8" W x 1 1/2" D. Cord dimensions: 6'. Remote sensor bulb: 5 1/2"W. Remote sensor bulb capillary tube: 6'. Temperature range: 20 - 80F. Voltage: 120 VAC.

Svetitskhoveli
Svetitskhoveli, Mtskheta
Not far from Dzhvari there is another cult monument of Christian Georgia – one of the major Orthodox Georgian temples – Svetitskhoveli Cathedral.
It was built in the 11 th century (1010-1029) on the site of the Twelve Apostles Church, the first Christian Georgian church erected in the 4 th century. There is a religious legend, connected with this church origination, about Elioz, a citizen of Mtskheta, who found the Tunic of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. Elioz's sister – Sidonia – died as soon as she touched the tunic. She was buried wrapped in it . Soon a big tree, cedar of Lebanan, grew on Sidonia's grave. When the ruler Mirian decided to build a temple on the place where the Tunic of the God was buried the cedar was cut down. They made seven columns from the tree and began to install them in the church. Six columns were in place but the seventh was not; it was hanging in mid-air. The Baptist of Georgia, St. Nino prayed all night long and then the column "without a touch of a human hand" froze on its place and … started shedding holy ointment. The miraculous chrism cured patients of heavy illnesses. Hence the temple's name – Svetitskhoveli; in Georgian it means "the Life-Giving Pillar". One of the greatest religious holidays of Georgia is Mtskhetoba-Svetitskhovloba is dedicated to the Life-Giving Pillar and the Tunic of the God. It is marked two times a year (on July13th and October 14th).
In the 11 th century Melkhisedek, the Catholicos of Georgia, began building the new patriarchal temple on the place of the old church. There is a legend connected with this building too. "To build the temple Arsukisdze, an architect, was invited. When the building was ready it turned out that the masterpiece considerably surpassed the creations of his teacher. The teacher's pride was hurt so he slandered his pupil and the architect's hand was cut off. According to an alternative version the hand of Arsukidze was cut off by the king's order so that he was not able to construct anything similar to Svetitskhoveli." Probably the latter version is true as over one of the facade arches there is the relief with the image of a hand holding a setsquare. The inscription under the relief says: "the Hand of the servant of God Arsukidze. Remember".
Svetitskhoveli is a grandiose cathedral of cross-dome design. The side-altars decorated with arch reliefs symmetrically depart from the high cross-shaped facade from two sides. Behind the facade as if the second tier rises the basic building of the cathedral. It is of rectangular shape and in the middle of it towers the faceted drum topped with a peaked dome with 16 windows. The temple facades are decorated with stone carving characteristic for Georgian architecture of the late 10 th - early 11 th centuries. The arches frame the windows, carved reliefs and niches. One can see the figures of flying angels; they are the fragments of the previous temple built in the 4 th century.
The windows ledges and frames are entirely covered with carved relief ornament which with other decorative ornaments harmoniously merges in the overall architectural and artistic image of the building.
The interior of the temple is simple and full of light. The paintings fragments which still can be seen on the temple walls were mainly done in the 16 th – 17 th centuries. The fragments of frescos depict the scenes from the legend about the Tunic of God.
Under the big arch there is the legendary "Life-Giving Pillar".
In front of the altar there is the burial place of Georgian rulers including Vakhtang Gorgasali, the founder of Tbilisi; Irakli II, the king of Kahetia; the rulers of Bagrationi dynasty and others.
For the period of its existence Svetitskhoveli has been destroyed and restored a number of times. The most considerable reconstruction took place in the 15 th century when the current dome of the cathedral was installed and then in the 17 th century when the existing the hipped roof of the current dome was made along with repairs and the walls whitewashing. Despite this Svetitskhoveli has preserved that noble shape which Arsukidze gave to it in 1029.
Even in the Middle Ages Mitskheta was the heart of Georgian church. Since then traditionally all major church ceremonies including the enthronement of the Catholicos-Patriarch are held in Svetitskhoveli Temple.

A National Family Opinion poll conducted in July, 1995 revealed that 90 million Americans over the age of 18 snore and 37 million are considered habitual snorers.
Even if you don't snore, the chances are very good that you live with someone who does. Socially, snoring is disruptive to family life, causing other family members sleepless nights and often restlessness. Snorers become unwelcome roommates on vacations and business trips. Snoring can actually disturb the sleeping patterns of the snorer, making restful sleep difficult.
Now there's Snoreless™ - A Natural Product that Really Works!
