Joining the frenzy surrounding higher education at an early stage, the hunt for a learning utopia among parents and their offspring reaches intensity when secondary education is completed. Though the importance of education is not in question, selecting the appropriate educational institute is still an arduous task.
DEFINITIONS Although 'higher education' generally means university studies, there's no simple definition for it and some degree of confusion arises in attempting to describe it. Students who choose to advance their studies after completing college studies follow three broad categories: university education, professional education and vocational education.
Selecting a suitable institute is not an easy task, as 'educational institutes' continue to mushroom in every nook and corner, and the print media is laden with their advertisements. This is why a thorough assessment and evaluation is a 'must do' before students make a final decision, although the quality of educational services is often intangible and difficult to measure. Identifying the determinants of selecting a particular educational institute and measuring its relative importance varies from one student to the other.
THE SURVEY The main objective of the research carried out by TNS Lanka, for LMD, was to assess educational institutes in this country through the eyes of potential students and their parents. Among the assessed institutes, there are providers of university, professional and vocational education. The research was carried out via a structured questionnaire by TNS covering the city of Colombo and its suburbs, with a sample size of 650 prospective students and 200 parents.
Survey participants first selected their preferred subject stream, thereafter rating the importance of 18 attributes that are usually considered when selecting an educational institute (see accompanying box). The parameters that came into play in arriving at an index for each institution were the 'awareness percentage' of each institute among the target audience, their preferences and institutional performance.
But the importance of the 18 attributes can be perceived differently by students. For example, fee structures, the availability of scholarships and durations of degree programmes may be of utmost importance to one student, whereas another will focus more on the calibre of lecturers, foreign affiliations and global reputation.
Although all these attributes should be important in an ideal world, student competence, financial capabilities and the availability of quality institutions come into play when selecting an educational institute.
STATE SECTOR Despite the fact that free education plays a key role in Sri Lanka, state universities don't have the capacity to accommodate all the students who deserve a university education. The reality is that many students enrol themselves at private educational institutions to fulfil their higher education aspirations. Those who cannot or do not enter state universities also opt to pursue their higher studies overseas, which results in a substantial outflow of foreign exchange and also obliquely encourages the brain drain.
In some instances, parents are unwilling to send their children to state universities and seek private higher education and overseas educational opportunities with a growing sense of urgency. Even some students who are qualified for admission are reluctant to enter state universities. Among the chief concerns are prolonged university closures, exams not being held as scheduled, ragging and issues pertaining to student intakes.
For example, the intake from the GCE A-Level examination in 2011 was not admitted in 2012 due to a pending court case on issues relating to the methodology adopted to calculate the Z-Score. However, the Government's vision for higher education lists the eradication of ragging, which suggests that this perennial issue has at least made its way to the relevant authorities.
According to the Department of Education, out of the 196,954 students who sat the Advanced Level exam last year, 124,377 qualified for university entrance. Although this is around 63 percent of the students who sat the exam, it is less than 20 percent of those who gain university admission. On top of that, the actual graduate output is also much less than the enrolled student numbers.
BUDGET NEWS In the capital allocation of government grants to higher educational institutions this year, funds were allocated to develop multiple areas. Among them are rehabilitation and the improvement of assets, acquisition of fixed assets, knowledge enhancement and institutional development to enhance quality, development of student skills and strengthening research. It is also stated that Rs. 2.85 million is to be allocated towards the advancement of six universities to match international standards.
Although it is encouraging that funds are being allocated to improve higher education in this country, simply investing more in the sector without implementing the necessary reforms is unlikely to achieve the envisioned changes. The challenge for the education sector is one of improving quality, and funds should be channelled towards improving the education process and its outcomes.
Budget 2013 addressed the need to ensure that avenues are created for 10 percent of children entering schools each year to take on university studies, and 40 percent to enter vocational and technical education. The budget also allocated 1.6 billion rupees to set up 20 technical colleges attached to vocational technical university colleges that will accommodate over 50,000 A-Level students. But if affordability and quality standards aren't met, this will continue to be a pipe dream.
ENGLISH AND IT Sri Lanka has a literacy rate of around 92 percent. However, this alone will no longer suffice in the modern world. English and IT are becoming more and more important in the 21st-century world of business, but many undergraduates leave a lot to be desired when it comes to English language skills. Both the public and private sectors acknowledge the importance of language, as finding suitable employment can become a mere dream if graduates aren't competent in it.
Minister of Higher Education S. B. Dissanayake says that measures have been taken to provide the necessary facilities to follow university courses in the English medium, with the intention of modernising higher education to suit the employment market of this day and age. Meeting infrastructure requirements alone is a cumbersome task, apart from the need to change students' mindsets – to accept the importance of being proficient in English and let go of their comfort zones.
In addition to arts, science, mathematics and commerce, technology has also been added to the Advanced Level curriculum with effect from 15 July in 242 schools across the island. This is a positive step towards acknowledging the importance of IT skills. Unless the younger generations are properly educated and trained in IT, Sri Lanka will continue to face the prospect of a digital divide.
HETC PROJECT Initiated in 2010, the Higher Education for the Twenty-first Century (HETC) Project for Sri Lanka by the World Bank aims to institutionalise norms in the higher education sector as its first component. This endeavour seeks to develop the institutional foundation of the higher education sector through the establishment of a qualification framework – one that covers higher education and training – and the development of a quality assurance system for the higher education sector as a whole.
CONCLUSIONS According to the Secretary of the Ministry of Higher Education Dr Sunil Nawaratne, some of the key themes of Sri Lanka's Higher Education Strategy involve accepting responsibility for our graduates, building world-class universities, producing globally employable graduates, and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the higher education system.
So yes, we have a long journey ahead, given the present state of affairs in the education sector.
Regularising non-state tertiary educational institutes is an imperative. Not only will this do justice to state university students, but also private educational institutes who are genuinely interested in meeting global education standards.
Education is a powerful tool to change oneself, and the world with it – and if Sri Lanka's knowledge hub aspirations are to be met by year 2020, expanding educational pathways is the need of the hour. Sri Lanka should perhaps consider public-private partnership models for tertiary, professional and vocational education.
If Sri Lanka's education sector is governed by appositely reformed state regulations and administered by unambiguous standards, maintaining a quality system to cater to student needs can become a reality. And this in turn will draw the vision of creating a knowledge hub ever so closer to reality.
What is the position of the Colombo International Nautical and Engineering Collage (CINEC)? Did you consider about CINEC or not?
Why don't you all go around the country and do a survey such as this. If you are doing a survey about education institutions it should be around the country. Just taking a group of people in a centralised place is not enough to make some points and have an institution top ranked. It's like taking one side of the education of Sri Lanka and promoting some organisations based on exterior. Don't be favourable towards one central location and to some companies. There is more than that to think about when doing survey and publishing it. Please consider this matter also in your future surveys.


Why is Karen J Smith a Registered Massage Therapist? A serious cycling accident while training for IRONMAN CANADA led her to a friend who had recently completed the Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) program. The friend convinced Karen to allow her to try to rehabilitate her severely injured shoulder. Having a Registered Massage Therapist work through her back, neck, arm shoulder and chest while the pins were still in her shoulder offered Karen an edge to her recovery she was not expecting. Six weeks later, the pins were removed and she was able to return to teaching aerobics, lifeguarding and cycling. She continued massage therapy treatments on her shoulder until it was completely recovered and promptly applied to the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Vancouver. Upon completing the Massage Therapy program and certifying exams Karen worked for her friend for a year before opening up her own Massage Therapy studio.
Now in her 20th year as an RMT, Karen is still curious, still energetic and still determined to pass on information and support in the areas of health, fitness and overall wellness.
Karen currently owns and operates her own Registered Massage Therapy Clinic with 7 RMT's working as a team. She also volunteers as a "trainer/therapist and/or First Aid Attendant" for her daughter's Soccer team, her son's rugby team and her youngest son's baseball team. In addition to Karen's Bachelor Degree from Simon Fraser University and a her Registered Massage Therapy certification, she holds certification as a Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, Spinning Instructor, Strength and Conditioning Coach, who specializes in posture assessment and exercise therapy, as well as offering courses and workshops in fitness leadership.
The Karen J Smith Massage Therapy Clinic is grounded with a firm belief in the importance of community involvement. Karen and her team of therapists may be seen at such local events as the Relay for Life as well as one special cause a little further from the backyard – the Massage Therapy Program at The BC Professional Firefighter's Burn Camp in Squamish. After attending the World Burn Congress, Karen made it her mission to start a massage therapy program for the BC youth who attend the BC Professional Firefighter's Burn Camp. These are youth who are severely burned and are trying to come back to live life to the fullest despite terrible tragedy in their young lives! She has now handed over the project to the Massage Therapy School to continue, and, she is currently working on another community project.
Karen is a "long timer" in this profession and is still very much involved with her patients and her practice, still committed to challenges and still strives to grow personally and professionally every day!

Widespread Telstra outage impacts 4G and NBN customers
By Jenny Noyes
May 1, 2018 — 3.05pm
Telstra users across Australia were left unable to make and receive voice calls for at least three hours on Tuesday due to a major outage on the company's NBN and 4G networks.
The complaints and questions started flooding in on social media around lunchtime, with Telstra saying they became aware of the issue around 1pm.
The company tweeted that the outage is affecting 4G but not 3G. Credit:James Davies
To make matters worse, the company's own outages page was also down at the same time, causing more frustration with customers who wanted answers.
NSW Police also tweeted their concern that the outage may affect people trying to call triple zero in an emergency.
Shortly before 3pm, Telstra tweeted that it was "working to fix an issue impacting some 4G voice calls". The 3G network was unaffected.
After 4pm, a spokesman for the company said the issue had been resolved.
"The issue was caused by technical changes made ahead of upgrades to mobile traffic control equipment in Telstra's Exhibition Street exchange in Melbourne."
It was resolved by reversing those changes, he said.
The timing of the mass outage was unfortunate for Telstra, as it arrived on the same day it announced its first smartphone plan with unlimited data – along with unlimited talk, text and MMS.
"We are now introducing the unlimited plan Australians tell us they want while maintaining the superior network experience they expect," Vicki Brady, group executive of Telstra Consumer & Small Business, said in a press release sent out before the outage on Tuesday.

OCO is a must-have for any serious aquarium enthusiast who use CO2 in their aquariums. OCO directly measures CO2 quickly and reliably.
88 backers pledged CA$ 16,404 to help bring this project to life.
This project has now completed, but for ordering information please visit my website at www.aquafloranurseries.com.
I have been growing aquarium plants for over 10 years as a business, and algae have always caused me headaches and problems. A few years ago, I finally figured out why I had such issues, and it was because I did not have enough carbon dioxide (CO2) for the plants. Ever since, I have been trying to find a reliable way of measuring the CO2 in my nursery. There were a few methods such as reading pH or colour change drop checkers, but they are not very reliable, or they are not very accurate, and calibration can be a pain. So finally I decided to do something myself.
The result is the OCO meter. Originally, it was only for my own use, but then I realized that others can benefit from OCO as well. OCO directly measures CO2 (not pH, or anything else, just CO2) in the aquarium, and reports the number as parts per million (ppm), which is familiar to most aquarium enthusiasts. It works in all types of water (hard, soft, even marine!).
There are two models of the OCO, the monitor and the controller. Both have the same CO2 sensing electronic guts, the difference between them is that the controller will also operate a solenoid value so that when CO2 levels are low, OCO will turn on the solenoid and CO2 will diffuse into the aquarium. When CO2 levels are high enough for the plants, OCO will turn off the solenoid and no more CO2 will enter the tank (until the plants have used up what was injected and more is needed).
OCO is very easy to operate; it is pre-calibrated, and is ready to use out of the box. If someone does want to calibrate OCO, it is also very simple: Just take the OCO out of the aquarium, place outside for about 30 minutes, then press the CALIBRATE button on the back of the unit. Atmospheric CO2 is around 390 ppm, and knowing this, OCO is programmed to calibrate itself, so that there is no need to buy expensive test solutions or mess around with chemicals.
For hobbyists interested in collecting data, the unit supports USB connection to your computer as well.
I started this project because I believe Kickstarter is the best platform to try new ideas and test the market. The largest cost will be the cast acrylic case; after having used many different materials near water and aquariums, I have learned acrylic is by far the most resilient, and so I have chosen to use it. Acrylic is water proof, UV resistant, fade resistant, and handles the salts and fertilizers that are in aquarium water. It is also more expensive, but the durability of it makes it worth the extra cost. To make our first order cost effective, we need to have a fairly large order of cases.
*If this plan changes, I will notify all backers who are affected promptly.
To keep the risks as low as possible, I have already built and tested several versions of the OCO to work out any design issues and performance issues. I still use the original model I made for my nursery as well (4 years ago).
There are a number of parts that are in the OCO, and I have sourced these parts from a number of different suppliers so that if one supplier does run out, there is second source of parts available.
For this Kickstarter project, I will also be assembling and testing every unit to make sure it leaves the warehouse in perfect working condition.
The main risk of delay is with CSA approval of electronic devices, and I am managing this risk with an electrical and design engineer.
I promise to keep all backers up to date with weekly emails detailing our progress, and if something does come up, I will promptly inform you.
For backers who love the idea of an OCO and want to help us out, but don't need an OCO right now. This reward will be a hand written thank you card mailed to your address.
Complete aquarium fertilizer. For backers who pledge $25, you will receive the same fertilizers that I use in my nursery. There is enough to fertilize a 20 US gallon aquarium for a whole year!
For backers who pledge $159, you will receive an OCO CO2 monitor. OCO measures CO2 in your aquarium and shows you the results on it's LCD screen.
For backers who pledge $199, you will receive an OCO CO2 monitor. OCO measures CO2 in your aquarium and shows you the results on it's LCD screen.
For backers who pledge $199, you will receive an OCO CO2 Controller. OCO controller measures CO2 in your aquarium and it will control CO2 by turning a solenoid on or off. This option is best for use with pressurized CO2 canisters.
OCO CO2 Controller. ** Early Bird Special.** For backers who pledge $219, you will receive an OCO CO2 Controller. OCO controller measures CO2 in your aquarium and it will control CO2 by turning a solenoid on or off. This option is best for use with pressurized CO2 canisters.
OCO CO2 Controller. For backers who pledge $239, you will receive an OCO CO2 Controller. OCO controller measures CO2 in your aquarium and it will control CO2 by turning a solenoid on or off. This option is best for use with pressurized CO2 canisters.
3 OCO Controllers. For backers who have lots of tanks and need more than one OCO Controller, this option is perfect. This option is best for use with pressurized CO2 canisters.

Emory Douglas created the visual identity for the Black Panther Party and his iconic images and graphics came to symbolize the struggles of the social justice movement. As the Revolutionary Artist and Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party from 1967 until the 1980s his work was characterized by strong graphic images of young African American men, women and children. He used the Black Panther community newspaper's popularity to spur people to action, portraying the poor with empathy, being unapologetic and ready to struggle for basic human rights. Douglas continues to create art with social and political concerns making art that transcends borders. Works by Emory Douglas will be on view from September 23 – December 5, 2020.
The African American Artists Collective, founded in 2014, is a growing group of artists unified in identifying and catalyzing their practice as a means to support the African American and Black Arts Movement in Kansas City and beyond. AAAC members advocate for other artists, advance professional development, build networks and provide mentorship. Ongoing initiatives include generating exhibitions and performances, developing an endowment and securing digital resources. Membership in the AAAC is open to African American artists of all disciplines. Works by AAAC members will be on view from September 23 – October 24, 2020.
As a project of the Center for Contemporary Practice program at KCAI Gallery, Emory Douglas will serve as a virtual artist in residence this semester and conduct a special workshop with select Graphic Design, Printmaking and Illustration students. The collaborative outcomes of this workshop will then be exhibited in the gallery alongside Douglas' works. Works by KCAI Students will be on view from October 30 – December 5, 2020.

The public postal bank solution for Australia Post and the Australian economy
by Citizens Party
Written by Citizens Party
From the 'Citizen's Party'.
To right a wrong and benefit the nation, the government must replace the Australia Post board, restore Christine Holgate as CEO, and establish a public postal "people's bank".
The Christine Holgate Cartier watches affair is a terrible stain, not on the ambushed former Australia Post CEO, who did absolutely nothing wrong, but on the Australian Parliament and the way the two major parties play self-serving political games that serve powerful vested interests but destroy real people and their businesses and lives. The truth about the affair is best known by those most impacted—the small business families who run the almost 3,000 licensed post offices (LPOs) that serve Australia's communities. Collectively these small business families have invested around $3 billion in Australia Post, but years of being exploited by the government and banks was sending them bankrupt; because Christine Holgate turned around the fortunes of Australia Post and their businesses, they call her the "best CEO Australia Post ever had".
The LPOs are calling for justice, and all Australians should support their demands:
replace the existing politicised board, which is complicit in forcing Christine Holgate out; and
re-appoint Christine Holgate as CEO—instead of the government promising to find a replacement "just as good", at the cost of $160,000, the LPOs are saying go back to the original and the best.
To those demands, add one more:
establish a national postal bank to operate through Australia Post branches, which would both guarantee retail financial services to all Australian communities, and ensure the long-term viability of Australia Post and its LPOs.
A win-win solution
More than half of Australia's communities don't have any financial services, often not even an ATM. When they lose their last bank branch or ATM they lose their life-blood and go into terminal decline. 1,600 of these communities are in rural and regional Australia. By law Australia Post must maintain 2,500 branches in rural and regional Australia, around 2,300 of which are small business LPOs.
Australia Post since 1989 has been a corporatised government business enterprise (GBE), wholly owned by the Australian government. The website of the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications, communications.gov.au, states: "Australia Post is required by law to operate commercially and does not receive funding from the government." (Emphasis added.) As part of that requirement, Australia Post is expected to pay commercial salaries to compete for executive talent.
Christine Holgate did not make these governance rules; she was merely the latest in a line of CEOs expected to run Australia Post successfully. Her predecessor had taken a salary more than double hers, and an $11 million payment on his way out; by contrast, Christine Holgate's total remuneration for the three years she ran Australia Post was just 14 per cent what her predecessor made in seven and a half years. When she took over in 2017, Australia Post was unsustainably selling property to make profits.
After sizing up the situation and consulting widely, including with the LPOs, Christine Holgate saw that the win-win solution for Australia Post, the LPOs, and communities in rural and regional Australia and low-income suburbs, was for Australia Post to provide more financial services. She discussed with interested parties the possibility of Australia Post becoming a postal bank, and she and her executive team launched negotiations with the banks to get them to cover the actual cost of LPOs serving their customers—the banks had exploited Australia Post and LPOs for years by closing their branches knowing their customers could access their accounts through the post office. After intense negotiations, in 2018 three of the Big Four (except ANZ) and around 70 smaller financial institutions agreed to a $220 million deal, which included $20 million GST. Because Christine Holgate ensured a significant percentage went to the LPOs, the deal saved their businesses and secured the viability of Australia Post's regional branches and the communities they serve.
Ambushed!
Yet for this amazing deal that earned Australia Post $200 million and the Australian Taxation Office $20 million in GST, out of the blue two years later in October 2020 Labor Senator Kimberley Kitching ambushed Christine Holgate because she spent $20,000 buying Cartier watches for the executives who made the banks pay! Prime Minister Scott Morrison then piled on with totally over-the-top fake outrage and forced the board to stand her down, which provoked her resignation.
Not only did Christine Holgate do nothing wrong, she did a brilliant job! After the way she was treated, future CEOs will not be game to play hardball with the banks, and when this current deal expires the viability of Australia Post, its LPOs, and regional communities will be in jeopardy again. This is unacceptable! Demand the government right this wrong: support the LPOs' call to replace the board and restore Christine Holgate as CEO, and sign the Citizens Party's new petition for Australia Post to become a public postal "people's bank" to operate in tandem with a national development bank.
An Australia Post 'people's bank'—a win-win solution for the nation
TO THE HONOURABLE SPEAKER AND MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
This petition of concerned Australians draws to the attention of the House that:
Australia's financial system is dominated by a private banking oligopoly that pursues maximum profit at the expense of customers, the community and ethical standards.
The major banks have focused their lending on mortgages, which has inflated house prices to unaffordable levels, while starving small business, farming and manufacturing of credit. In recent years they have shut hundreds of branches and ripped out hundreds more ATMs in rural and regional Australia and low-income suburbs of the major cities, accelerating the economic decline of many communities. And they have abused their market power to reduce the use and availability of cash and cheques and to deny customers banking services through "debanking".
Australia needs an alternative, public banking system that provides financial services to all communities and invests in the nation's future.
We therefore ask the House to immediately establish:
a national postal bank—a new "people's bank" like the original Commonwealth Bank—to operate through Australia Post's thousands of post offices; and
a national development bank to invest in infrastructure and productive industries.
A national postal bank would restore retail financial services to all communities, fully guarantee savings deposits, lend carefully but fairly, maintain cash payments, not discriminate through debanking, and invest surplus deposits in the national development bank to fund job-creating infrastructure and industries.

Busy lives and distant homes can make it easy to feel out of touch with family members. Sadly, adult children may begin to notice changes in their ageing parents.
It's distressing and worrying to accept that parents who were once vital may soon require help to manage their day to day needs. Hard decisions may need to be made and many children and parents will need professional guidance to convert the mountain of data on aged care into meaningful and relevant information and ultimately into appropriate decisions.
Planning for change gives your family the opportunity to take stock and plan ahead. Families with elderly parents may find the chance to raise issues with parents in relation to their future well being.
As the thought of this discussion is likely to fill those clients with dread – professional help may be invaluable.
Many older Australians live alone and families may not notice the decline in an older person's ability to live independently. Special family occasions can be a time when families come together and have an opportunity to observe how well a parent is coping.
Now is an ideal time to get in touch with us and access our services that might help. Perhaps we can offer to assist with arranging and running a family meeting.
A family meeting can be an essential step in planning for aged care and may help to minimise conflicts in families. Emotional conflicts between family members can make the transition to care more distressing for an elderly parent and have the potential to rip families apart.
A well-run family meeting can allow parents, children, and other family members to discuss issues and preferences, express concerns and make decisions that work for the family as a whole.
The earlier families take this step, the better. Planning ahead ensures that parents are fully involved in the decision making and removes some of the stress from other family members. With a well organised plan in place, families can respond more quickly and effectively when an event necessitating a move to aged care occurs.
Our role as an adviser can alleviate your anxieties by providing you with the benefit of your knowledge and professional advice. Our guidance can help you to see the big picture more objectively, allowing you to consider the best options for your parents' care, security, and happiness.

The level of trust you have for your friend or neighbor notwithstanding, you need to document every sale or purchase of a property. The document legally recognized to document the sale or the purchase is a bill of sale, also called a BOS or proof of purchase.
Still not sold on bill of sale? Well, here's a perfect example of the importance of the document: say you sell a car to your sibling, and it later turns out that the car gets involved in a criminal activity and the police question or even detain you, the BOS will be a crucial document used to determine that the car's ownership transferred to another in the past.
Even though the document isn't necessary for all transactions involving the transfer of personal property, it's vital when you need to prove that you transferred the rights to possess an item or that you received the rights to possess the property. Often, the proof of sale document will protect your interests in a named property, while keeping the records straight. The BOS is legally binding.
This brings us to the kinds of bill of sale documents in the state of Alaska and the bill of sale form in Alaska. Note that the forms vary depending on the type of BOS you need. The most common bill of sale in Alaska includes the ones for the sale of vehicles, firearms, snow machines (ATVs), and the general bill of sale.
A general BOS refers to the document that proofs the purchase of different kinds of personal property. You could fill out a general Alaska bill of sale form to facilitate the sale of furniture, livestock, a bunny, a dog, an old TV, or even that old laptop.
While the document isn't specific to any property, it's only valid if it contains a detailed description of the personal property sold. In the description of the item, you have to include the model number or the serial number if present. The color, size, texture and the shape could also be in the description of the item.
Selling price indicated in dollars.
Date the payment is to be accepted – note that this is essential especially if the buyer intends to pay for the item on a later date.
Don't forget that if you're giving the buyer the item as a gift, you should mention this in the BOS.
This refers to the legal document which proves the sale or the transfer of a vehicle between an individual and an entity or two individuals. By signing the document, the motor vehicle BOS will protect both parties.
While the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in Alaska doesn't require that a BOS is prepared for the sale or the purchase of motor vehicles in the Last Frontier state – the seller has to transfer the vehicle's title to the buyer, the BOS is invaluable.
Relevant information in the motor vehicle BOS include the conditions of the trade or the sale. In the state of Alaska, when a BOS is used, this document is a requirement by the DMV to be used as part of the documentation necessary for the registration of the vehicle in mint condition, used state and whether it's operable or even inoperable.
An odometer disclosure statement is also necessary for the registration and the transfer of the vehicle.
Buyer's and seller's information: name, driver's license registration number, physical address, city, and the state.
Vehicle's description: make/ model/ type, vehicle's color, year of the vehicle, VIN (vehicle identification number), and odometer reading. The description will also include information on whether the title is included as part of the sale or not.
Purchase/ Trade price: here, the seller will accept money from the buyer as agreed. It also has details of the date of the BOS or the future date by which the purchase amount should be paid. It may also have details of any specific price negotiations and any other conditions for the transaction.
Once you have all this information in your bill of sale form, you should make your copy and issue the buyer with the original document for registration purposes.
In a state where snow is the norm, you may have more ATVs than you need or you may want to sell the old one and buy a new one. Either way, the state requires that the snowmachines and the ATVs are registered not later than 15 days after their purchase.
Necessary information in the BOS include the details of the buyer and the seller, the vehicle's decal number, the serial number or the VIN, year, make, color, the body style of the snowmachine, and the date the sale is completed.
To finalize the ATV's or the snowmachine's registration, the state of Alaska requires you to get a copy of equipment's warranty card or the purchase order from the dealer. The BOS is essential in the registration process as is the application for the registration and title, as well as the registration fee.
So, which BOS meets your needs? Whatever you're trading in, buying or selling, our bill of sale forms available online are accessible to everyone in Alaska.


There are laws in place, by the federal government, to ensure there is fair competition among businesses. The laws create fairness through: prevention of monopolies, trade regulations, production ethics, and fixed and pricing. The significant anti-trust laws are: Federal Trade and Commission, Clayton Anti-trust act, Celler Kefauver act, and Sherman Anti-trust act.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), was created in 1914. The job of the FTC is to eliminate non-competitive business practices and to protect the consumers. During the Progressive Era, trust busting and trusts were very popular. Woodrow Wilson created the FTC, to help eliminate trusts.

The best things in life aren't things. Such a simple statement, but it holds so much meaning and intent. We know there is value in our financial assets, but more importantly, there is even greater value in our family treasures like family history, morals, beliefs and heirlooms. These treasured assets are the ones that are most often overlooked in traditional estate planning.
Legacy planning is a more holistic approach to estate planning. It is the creation of a definitive plan for managing your total wealth while you're alive, distributing your estate how you choose after your death, and a clear plan to pass on your legacy. Your estate includes all assets of any value that you own. This includes nonfinancial assets as well as financial assets, including real property, business interests, investments, insurance proceeds, retirement accounts and personal property.
Your legacy also includes important decisions that ensure that your family's core values, responsible behaviors and community involvement are passed onto future generations. Keep in mind, your legacy also includes personal effects such as family heirlooms, stories and accumulated wisdom and life lessons of your family.
At first glance, the concept of Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA), 401(k)s and other retirement plans seems simple enough: a structured way to save for your golden years while deferring taxes on your growing nest egg. Unfortunately, that simple idea becomes one of the most complex areas of estate planning once IRS rules are applied.
To ensure that you are protected, an estate planning attorney must consider tax reduction techniques as they apply to your individual situation and interpret complicated income tax rules and IRS regulations. Fortunately, at The Elder and Disability Law Firm, APC, our estate planning attorneys immerse themselves daily in the questions and concerns that IRA investors face in planning their estates.
1. Survey your assets: Such as investments, savings, retirement plans, real estate, life insurance, annuities, businesses, other personal assets, etc.
5. Define your goals: Such as providing for your spouse, children, grandchildren, charitable donations, etc.

Report from national ARRCC Conference, November 2019
ARRCC inaugural national conference, November 8 - 10, 2019,
sponsored by, and held at, the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture, Charles Sturt University, ACT
Judging by all the very positive feedback, the conference was a huge success! Thank you to those many people whose dedication made it so successful, and to the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture for their whole-hearted sponsorship. The 120 or so people who came, heard from academics, School Strikers, Aboriginal speakers and skilled activists. They networked, prayed, meditated, offered their own ideas, ate together and generally loved meeting each other. You'll be hearing some refreshed messaging in coming months.
One-word feedback at the end: "hope", "community", "networking", "inspired", "scary", "challenged". Thank you to those many people whose dedication made it so successful. Bishop Stephen Pickard commented on the "buzz" in the room. One of the School Strikers who addressed the gathering on Sunday morning, Aoibhinn Crimmins, wrote, "I honestly have never met such an invigorated group of adults before!"

Many people sent apologies but those who made it were from diverse communities including Brahma Kumaris, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist (from various traditions), Quakers and Christians (from a range of denominations). These were some highlights.
Professor Lesley Hughes' presentation on the basic science was the most highly-regarded for many because it clearly summarised the data on rising global temperatures and their implications for ecosystems. From the extensive data collected, the climate is changing at a rate 170 times faster than it has for the last 7,000 years. Rainfall patterns are changing. Cyclones are intensifying. We face a most uncertain future.
Australian emissions are at a 7-year high and continuing to rise. We also have a federal government which is dismissive of the IPCC Special Report on keeping global heating to 1.5 Degrees C, supportive of new coal and gas mining and opening new coal-fired power stations.

Nonetheless, she pointed out that there are a host of countries where emissions are going down; in China and India, several times more coal-fired power plants have been cancelled in the last eight years than are being built; and renewable energy capacity is booming globally.
Responses from faith communities
Dr Miriam Pepper and Associate Professor Mehmet Ozalp outlined how Christians and Muslims, respectively, are responding in Australia. In each tradition there are groups who are taking inspiring initiatives but much more could be done at a local level.
The National Christian Life Survey data found that nine in ten churchgoers believe they have a Christian responsibility to care for the environment and more than 60 percent regard themselves, to some degree, as active. However, this concern doesn't show itself so strongly at a local community level. Nor does it appear that Christian action has increased over 2011 - 2016, except that there were early indications of more engagement from Catholic communities after the release of Pope's encyclical, Laudato Si', in 2015.
Dr James Whelan's sessions

James Whelan's presentation early in the conference, and then his workshop on Sunday, were named by the largest number of conference participants as the sessions they valued most. He highlighted the greater likelihood of winning an environmental campaign when thought goes into strategy rather than simply turning to tactics. While the best plans can still fail, there is much to be gained by goal-setting and systematically thinking through how to achieve those goals. His presentation invited attendees to consider the question, from photos of ARRCC actions: What special strengths and opportunities are available to us as people of faith?
James' highly regarded workshop on "building the climate movement in our own faith communities" had participants thinking about "circles of commitment". The framework was developed by a Christian Pastor in the US, Rick Warren, and published in his book, The Purpose Driven Church. People were invited to think what, specifically, they might do to shift others from, for example, being in the general "community" to joining a "crowd" that is occasionally active, or how they might shift interested others from being occasionally active to taking a leadership role, and so on. Finally, we want to create opportunities for people to go from "committed" to being passionate "core" leaders. In the discipline of thinking quite concretely about their own context, pennies seemed to drop and people's enthusiasm was palpable.

Tess Carlton and Aoibhinn Crimmins spoke to the conference about their experience organising climate strikes in Canberra. The process of organising the strikes has been empowering and they urged us to speak honestly to young people about the climate crisis. They were passionate about the need for everyone to be involved and keen to work with ARRCC in the future.
About the likelihood that society is about to undergo rapid changes because of climate disruption, Aoibhinn said, "we must jump on that opportunity like our lives depend on it because they truly do, and use it as a chance to start from scratch and create a world that we want to live in, together." After stirring words such as these, the gathering made their appreciation felt by lengthy applause and the first and only whistle at the conference!
Session on ARRCC's campaigns
Tejopala Rawls outlined why ARRCC concentrates on stopping Adani even though there are other battles to be fought. Primarily, the reasons are (1) limited resources and (2) the potential impact of the resulting carbon emissions if the Galilee Basin were to be fully opened up to coal mining. Adani is an infrastructure company whose planned rail line would make it possible for a swag of other mines to operate. If the Galilee Basin were fully developed, the amount of coal that might potentially be burned because of exports would make it the seventh largest source of greenhouse gas emissions globally.
He proposed that the results of the recent federal election election did not amount to a mandate for coal mining. the truth is that two-thirds of Australians still oppose Adani's Carmichael Project, Labor had a primary swing against them of -1.4%, but Liberals also had a primary swing against them of -0.7%. Minor party preferences swung the election to the Coalition.
He challenged the gathering to consider a few tactics in the near-term: getting more people of faith along to school climate strikes, ringing church bells during the strikes, holding actions outside GHD and other contractors' offices, setting up a local ARRCC group, holding a Carols Against Coal event or joining others on the frontline.
Thea's presentation on ARRCC's work on sustainable lifestyles argued that this remains important because (1) this is a good fit with core values in faith communities, (2) Australia has the highest per capita carbon emissions globally so we can individually make a difference, (3) we have power of this whereas key politicians are resisting action, (4) the global Living the Change campaign is based on research, it's encouraging, compassionate but also ambitious. She encouraged people to get behind Living the Change and make a commitment online.

Outcomes of group discussions
During workshops on Saturday and Sunday, participants learned more about
How to set up an ARRCC/multi-faith climate action group in their local area
Frontline actions involving civil disobedience
Installing solar of building owned by faith communities
Plan-based diets
Building commitment to action in local faith communities
Making the most of one-on-one conversations
It was evident from the post-conference survey, unsurprisingly, that people's interests vary when it comes to the kinds of actions that appeal.
Most are interested in getting people from their faith communities along to the Student Strikes 4 Climate, over half would join a protest outside offices of companies and contractors open to working with Adani, and over a third were interested in setting up a local climate action group. Some were attracted to creative actions like Carols Against Coal and a significant minority seemed more interested in Living the Change than advocacy.
Apart from the workshops, break-out groups considered how they might get active, either around areas of interest or as geographically proximate to each other.
Early in the weekend, conference participants were invited to write on post-it notes their ideas for new directions for ARRCC. From these, three ARRCC Committee members selected certain themes for discussion that were plausible, given ARRCC's resources. These were:
Outreach, support, offering leadership to young people in religious schools, eg, to join the School Strikes 4 Climate.
Create an ARRCC rural and regional caucus both to inform ARRCC and to receive support for community organising in their areas; in cooperation with Farmers for Climate Action and Indigenous groups.
Empower ARRCC supporters to appeal to, and support, leaders in faith communities to promote climate action, especially senior faith leaders.
Make more use of faith communities' capacity go display signs like Fr Rod Bowers', outside their places of worship.
Review ARRCC messaging to incorporate the economic benefits of transition, including clean jobs, in collaboration with research bodies like The Australia Institute.
Get much better at social media as a way of increasing ARRCC's influence, eg, through training supporters in Twitter, maximising the potential of Facebook and taking a poignant photo when they hold actions.
Small groups reality-tested these ideas and built plans of action for each question. Various groups wanted to keep working on these plans after the conference and are keeping in contact with each other.

By popular demand, the last break-out group session on Sunday afternoon was organised so people could talk with others who were, broadly speaking, geographically located near them. Some attendees personally found this invaluable, saying that this meant they could more readily continue their association with other ARRCC supporters. They feel that it is much easier to sustain action with others when it can happen in person.
Feedback from the Conference was generally very positive. It is hoped that the conference has strengthened bonds, fuelled hope and generated plenty of activist energy so that 2020 will be a year where great things can happen!

Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)
Lancaster's degree in Film, Media and Cultural Studies, taught by the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts and the Sociology department gives you the opportunity to study film within the broader areas of communications and entertainment media and culture.Film at Lancaster is a stimulating and intellectually engaging course which provides a framework for the close analysis of individual films. You will study cinema history and the social significance of films and will develop a detailed understanding of the techniques of film production. You will also have the opportunity to produce short films in all three years of your study. You can choose from a range of specialist courses and will develop skills that can lead to postgraduate study and careers in the media, advertising and marketing.Media and Cultural Studies at Lancaster is similarly theoretical and analytical but also contains practical components and skills embedded within the core curriculum. This programme is concerned with the critical study of media and culture and offers you the opportunity to examine historical and contemporary issues and debates. We will cover such themes as media history, politics and power, subcultures and marginal cultures, the role played by media in contemporary activist movements, the relationship between media, gender, race, ability, disability and body image, and making, reforming and hacking the public sphere. You will have the opportunity to spend Year 3 on a placement with a public, private or voluntary organisation in the UK or overseas. This experience should boost your employment prospects and help you to decide on your career direction and the kind of organisation in which you want to work once you graduate. You will be doing a real, responsible job with all the satisfaction that brings. Applying for a placement is a competitive process and our Placements Team will support you in finding and applying for a suitable placement. The preparatory modules you will complete in years one and two are designed to give you the best chance of success in both your placement applications and the placement itself. One of the aims of the placement year is to enhance your understanding of the connections between theory and practice which could benefit your final year of study. Placements provide an exciting opportunity to build up experience and transferable skills, as well as to make contacts with potential employers, which can place you a step ahead in the graduate recruitment market. The University will use all reasonable effort to support you to find a suitable placement for your studies. While a placement role may not be available in a field or organisation that is directly related to your academic studies or career aspirations, all placement roles offer valuable experience of working at a graduate level and gaining a range of professional skills. If you are unsuccessful in securing a suitable placement for your third year, you will be able to transfer to the equivalent non-placement degree scheme and would continue with your studies at Lancaster, finishing your degree after your third year. The University offers a range of shorter placement and internship opportunities for which you would be welcome to apply.
