A joint statement between Ahpra, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Strategy Group and the National Health Leadership Forum.
Australia is striving for health equity and to eliminate racism for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. As the regulator for over 800,000 registered health practitioners, the National Scheme1 has a vital part to play in ensuring that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples receive culturally safe healthcare that is free from racism in all forms. Recognising cultural safety as a guiding principle and objective in the National Law2 is an important step towards this goal.
Cultural safety is not a new concept within the Australian healthcare context – it has been a part of health professionals' training and education for years, is embedded in education curriculum, and is already a requirement of many workplace and regulatory standards. The National Scheme is supporting governments' commitment to embedding cultural safety and eliminating racism in the health system (see the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workforce Strategic Framework and Implementation Plan 2021-2031, the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan the COAG Health Council 4 August 2017 Communique and to Closing the Gap.
Self-determination and cultural safety
The National Scheme recognises the principle of self-determination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and is led in its work in this area by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Strategy Group (Strategy Group). The Strategy Group consists of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health sector leaders and representatives from accreditation entities, National Boards, Ahpra and the Chair of Ahpra's Agency Management Committee.
'Cultural safety is very much a prerequisite for health service delivery in providing an environment free of racism that ensures better health outcomes are achieved for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples,' said Mr Karl Briscoe, former co-chair of the Strategy Group.
The Strategy Group in partnership with the National Health Leadership Forum, through public consultation, has established a cultural safety definition for the National Scheme:
Cultural safety is determined by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals, families and communities.
Culturally safe practise is the ongoing critical reflection of health practitioner knowledge, skills, attitudes, practising behaviours and power differentials in delivering safe, accessible and responsive healthcare free of racism.
Former chair of the National Health Leadership Forum Ms Monica Barolits-McCabe stated that, 'the vision of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan and the National Workforce Plan is a health care system free of racism, to achieve this we must address the discriminatory policies and practices that exist, instituting culturally safe care is intrinsic to this vision.'
Cultural safety must be embedded at the highest strategic level – in this case the National Law which governs health practitioners in Australia – to ensure a shared commitment across all the partners of the National Scheme.
Its inclusion in the National Law ensures that every part of the National Scheme – practitioners, regulators, accreditation authorities, educators and employers – are working within the same principle and towards the same objective.
There is a new objective:
to build the capacity of the Australian health workforce to provide culturally safe health services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
There is a new guiding principle for:
The Scheme is to ensure the development of a culturally safe and respectful health workforce that:
is responsive to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and their health; and
contributes to the elimination of racism in the provision of health services.
What this means for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health consumers
This change means that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health consumers can expect that healthcare provision from a registered health practitioner is culturally safe and free of racism.
If the care received fails to meet this expectation, it's within their rights to notify us by submitting a complaint. If the complaint enters the court system, cultural safety is required to be taken into account as defined in the National Law.
It also means that registered health practitioners are required to take steps to educate themselves on cultural safety regarding the accessibility of their services.
Registered health practitioners in Australia are familiar with concepts of cultural safety and all members of the National Scheme will continue to support Australia's registered health workforce to practise in a culturally safe way.
This includes the National Scheme's commitment to cultural safety training for all its members – Ahpra staff, National Board members and accreditation partners.

Q: Program to graph MySQL data I have a fairly simple mysql database. I want to extract data from it and display as a graph to analyze it. Nothing advanced, just line diagrams and such. As a programmer I can always write some code for this myself. But does anybody know of a program that can load data (using sql queries?) and display it in various graphs?

A: Checkout DBPlot for Windows environment.

A: You can also have a look at Google Charts, if you want your graphs displayed in web pages.

A: Don't know what type of output you're looking for, but FusionCharts has helped me a lot... http://www.fusioncharts.com/free/

A: You can use GNUPLOT if you are in linux environment. I am currently using this for generating automated EOD reports which contains graphs. The graphs are drawn using the data fetched from mysql (Currently we are using in csv) But gnuplot is not as good as Fusion Chart in UI Perspective

A: I'd have to recommend JQplot if you want these graphs in web pages - it's non Flash (hooray!), uses JQUery (hooray!) and has some very, very cool features (hooray! - check out the examples page).
As per the docs page, you can just pass an array of values to it and it'll plot what you want, and generating an array is simple in server side languages such as PHP.
Hope this helps,
James

A: An extremely flexible library for graphs (images and applets) would be JFreeChart.
On the other hand, if what you actually need it is a reporting engine, Jasperreports should be your first and final stop but you will have to do A LOT of reading before starting doing something with the latter and it won't be time lost for nothing.

A: Try Smart chart maker it is used to create many type of charts that can be fed from a MySQL database . supported chart types include line charts , pie charts, bar charts, and scattered charts.

"After having experienced lessons with several instructors I can say that Sue was one of the best. I decided to go with her for the final stretch of my learning due to the reviews I had read, and I wanted an instructor who I felt confident could get me through the test but who I could also feel relaxed with. I made the right choice as with Sue's help I passed first time! Over the moon!!!"


I was reading the wikipedia article on prostitution in Japan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Japan (dont ask why) and I read about the "Karayuki san." It says that they're prostitutes who went abroad to earn money (as prostitutes). Does anyone have information or links about this? Google returned only links about the movie "Karayuki-san."
just search the words "karayuki -movie" and you get better resaults.

'Desert Miracles' is a cinematic exploration of a commercialized architecture of desire. Across 22 different tableaus the film meditates upon the interiors of Nevada's wedding chapels, considering how the excessive scenery opens up to constitute a cultural organisation of "Love". A woman's' voice is heard reading out an ambiguous letter to an unknown lover in which she finds herself troubled by the challenges of modern relationships, unable to negotiate a balance between self-fulfilment and optimization.The text is based on anonymous posts by different women in various internet wedding forums. One fictional female character is composed out of many assembled perspectives on desire, relationships and social expectation.

Gondwana in amber
Fossil trove sheds light on ancient antipodean ecology.

An international team of palaeontologists has discovered an assortment of intact amber fossils in the Southern Hemisphere that date from the mid-Paleogene to the Late Triassic, 40 to 230 million years ago, reporting their find in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.
The discovery includes southern Gondwana's earliest fossil record of diverse groups of animals, plants and microorganisms, according to first author Jeffrey Stilwell from Monash University, Melbourne, and showcases the antiquity of modern life on Earth.
It gives us "our first definitive glimpses of ancient subpolar greenhouse Earth ecosystems, when Australia and Antarctica were attached and situated much further south in higher latitudes", he says.
Among the relics are the first Australian fossils of slender springtails – a tiny, wingless hexapod, a cluster of juvenile spiders, biting midges (Ceratopogonidae) and the oldest known fossilised ants from this region.
"[W]e can now state for the first time that ants have been a significant part of the Australian ecosystem since the late middle Eocene Epoch," says Stilwell, "when Australia was still attached to Antarctica during the last gasp of the Gondwana supercontinent."

A notable rarity is two flies (Dolichopodidae) frozen while mating. "You could say these long-legged flies were caught in the act 42-40 million years ago, which is astounding for palaeontology in this country."
Preserved non-vascular plants include two species each of moss, from Racopilum (Racopilaceae) and liverworts, Radula (Radulaceae).
Altogether, the team studied more than 5800 fragments of amber, an ancient tree resin that has preserved life from millions of years ago in exquisite 3D detail, fine enough to enable comparisons with modern species and gain evolutionary insights.
They sourced specimens from the Late Triassic and Paleogene in Tasmania, Late Cretaceous from Gippsland Basin in Victoria, Paleocene and late middle Eocene of Victoria and Late Cretaceous Chatham Islands in New Zealand.
Until now, the oldest animals discovered in amber date back to the Late Triassic in the Dolomites of Northern Italy. Finding 230 million-year-old amber in Australia (Tasmania) points to extensive rainfall at that time.
This confirms that a major climatic shift, known as the Carnian Pluvial Episode, occurred across the whole Pangean supercontinent before it split into Laurasia and Gondwana around 200 million years ago.
As well as offering new insights into the ecology and evolution of southern Gondwana, the discovery is a boon for palaeontologists Down Under, opening up new avenues for future exploration, says Stilwell.
"Our findings provide exciting new insights into the origin, antiquity and evolution of the modern Australian biota and show that there may be a vast potential for future, similar finds in Australia and New Zealand."

An 8-year-old Michigan boy addressed a letter to his school about bullying which ended up being read over the intercom by the principal.
Nicolas Neesley was the victim of bullying by an older boy who called him names and spat on him, so he decided to take action, according to the Daily Reporter.
Nicolas explained the situation to his parents that night, saying he intervened in a dispute between a classmate and a fifth grader at Jennings Elementary School.
"Is this fight really worth it?" Nicolas said to the older boy, according to the Reporter.
The boy responded by targeting Nicolas.
"They want me to be just like them, and not have any friends," Nicolas added.
But he was determined not to let it go and even spoke to his mother about whether he should ask the older boy to be his friend.
"I actually had a dream that I went up to him and said, 'Do you want to be my friend?'" he reportedly told her.
His mother advised him to wait a few days and think things over before doing anything.
One week later, the incident was still on Nicolas' mind. When he noticed that his bully was wearing black instead of blue to show support for anti-bullying day Oct. 5, he decided to write a letter.
"Dear school, You don't have to bully. If you don't have any friends just make a friend it's very simple. But you already have a friend, us," the letter read.
"We will be 1. respectfull 2. Responsible 3. caring, to you. Yours Sincerely, Nicolas Neesley P.S. No more–Stop the bullying," Nicolas added in the letter.
The third grader took the note to the principal's office. The principal decided to read the letter out to the whole school, although Nicolas was not identified as the author.
"We do take child-centered learning as our main priority," principal Ron Olmsted told ABC News, adding that the letter touched him.
"So we took advantage of knowing it was national anti-bullying day to show that kids do care about no bullying," he added.
"I wanted to touch his heart," Nicolas told the Reporter when asked why he wrote the letter.

Ron Jeremy: US adult film star indicted on 34 sex crime charges
Image source, Getty Images
US adult film star Ron Jeremy has been indicted on 34 counts of sexual crimes involving 21 women, spanning more than 20 years, Los Angeles prosecutors say.
Prosecutors allege that Mr Jeremy assaulted the women, who ranged in age from 15 to 51, between 1996 and 2019. He faces over 300 years in jail.
Mr Jeremy, 68, pleaded not guilty to the charges on Wednesday.
He is one of the biggest names in the adult film industry and has featured in over 1,700 films since 1979.
The 19 August indictment, which was unsealed Wednesday, accuses Mr Jeremy of 12 counts of rape, including that of a 17-year-old girl in 2008 and a 15-year-old girl in 2004.
The most recent charge is from 1 January 2020, with a 21-year-old woman alleging she was raped and sodomised.
His lawyer said on Wednesday that Mr Jeremy maintains he is completely innocent.
Mr Jeremy, whose real name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt, remains in jail on $6.6m (£4.81m) bail.
To avoid a public preliminary hearing that would include witnesses testifying in open court, Los Angeles County prosecutors presented their case to a secret grand jury to obtain the indictment.
A similar tactic was used in the case of disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Last June, Mr Jeremy appeared in court on charges he raped two women and sexually assaulted two others between 2014 and 2019. At the time, his lawyer denied the charges, claiming that Mr Jeremy had been "a paramour to over 4,000" women" and that "women throw themselves at him."
While no trial date has yet been set, Mr Jeremy is due in a Los Angeles court on 12 October for a pre-trial conference.
Mr Jeremy is one of a small number of men, along with Mr Weinstein, who have been investigated by a Los Angeles District Attorney's task force set up to investigate allegations of sexual abuse in Hollywood in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
In a statement, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said that "far too often, survivors of sexual assault suffer in isolation".
"We must ensure that survivors have all options available to help with recovery, including trauma-informed services for healing and support to report such crimes."

Giants looking to trade Kevin Frandsen
By Aaron GleemanMar 23, 2010, 4:49 PM EDT
Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that "the Giants have made it known widely throughout baseball that they are willing to trade infielder Kevin Frandsen."
According to Schulman the Giants recently showcased Frandsen at shortstop for any interested teams because Matt Downs has passed him on their infield depth chart, but few people seem to think the 28-year-old can still handle the position defensively after a torn Achilles' tendon caused him to miss all of 2008.
He had a solid bounce-back season at Triple-A, batting .295/.352/.438 with 13 homers in 110 games, but went just 7-for-50 (.140) with the Giants and is a career .240/.304/.341 hitter in 453 plate appearances as a big leaguer. Frandsen's track record suggests he's better than that, but his bat is likely at most a tick above utility man-caliber and as strictly a second baseman his glove may not even be that good.


Mark Shuttleworth, the first African tourist in space spent eight days in the Mir space station, in… errr… space! He went on to start a Linux distribution package called Ubuntu and although his article is aimed at the Ubuntu community, there are lessons for us all here. When reading, just discount references to software packages and read this as if it were about your own world.
Mark has given me permission to reproduce this here so it is only right to give a plug to the Ubuntu website.
1. "The other guys have never done anything useful".
Well, let's think about that. All of us wake up every day, with very similar ambitions and goals. I've travelled the world and I've never met a single company, or country, or church, where *everybody* there did *nothing* useful. So if you see someone saying "Microsoft is totally evil", that's a big red flag for tribal thinking. It's just like someone saying "All black people are [name your prejudice]". It's offensive nonsense, and you would be advised to distance yourself from it, even if it feels like it would be fun to wave that pitchfork for a while.
So, for example, when a woman makes it to the top of her game, "it's because she slept her way there". Offensive nonsense. And similarly, when you see someone saying "Canonical didn't actually sponsor that work by that Canonical employee, that was done in their spare time", you should realize that's likely to be offensive nonsense too.
Not because of his recent outburst on the Burqa, and not for any other specific outburst.
His attitude is, "I am politically incorrect and sod the lot of you for your small tiny little minds!" and I love it. I came across a politically incorrect website a little while ago at www.politicallyincorrect.me.uk and if you look hard enough you will find that Political Correctness originated before the war in Germany because the exponents of Communism couldn't understand why it was not taken up in the West and finally realised it was the Anglo-Saxon's propensity for independent thought.
When Hitler took over in Germany, this group who thought up Political Correctness moved over to the United States as they were mainly Jewish. I have to admit, I found this very difficult to take on board as surely Communism was against Jews? Anyway the entire history is on the website for all to see.
In 2008 an internet petition was posted on the Prime Minister's Number 10 website to "Make Jeremy Clarkson Prime Minister". By the time it closed, it had attracted 49,446 signatures. An opposing petition posted on the same site set to "Never, Ever Make Jeremy Clarkson Prime Minister" attracted 87 signatures. Clarkson later commented he would be a rubbish Prime Minister as he is always contradicting himself in his columns. In their official response to the petition, Number 10 agreed with Clarkson's comments.
While his fashion sense and chauvinistic comments are often cited as making him unpopular with women, in a 2008 poll of 5,000 female members of an online dating website, Clarkson came third in a poll of MISAs—Men I Secretly Adore—behind Jonathan Ross and Phillip Schofield. Characteristically, Clarkson was upset not to have come top.
An American senator said recently on TV that they regret that we British have the audacity not to jump through a hoop when a Senator calls. Not those actual words, granted, but that is what he was inferring!
I think the MPs should be willing to talk to the Americans and make their case. However, the entire American Senate should fly over to the UK for this purpose. There are hundreds of Hotels in London, and they could hire the Queen Elizabeth II Hall in Westminster which should be large enough for them. If we ensure that the various MPs only had windows in their diaries to attend over a two week period, this would bring a lot of revenue to our top hotels, the conference hall, and tourist attractions.
And if the Americans had to spend over a week here, knowing American woman, their wives would insist on coming as well. The Senators would also want to bring their assistants and secretaries with them, so London would be full of a lot of people spending a lot of money.
But then, it wouldn't happen. Either the Senators would refuse the offer, or they would send a small delegation over.
I really don't understand why the Conservatives don't go for the jugular when the opposition keep on going on about the ConDem coalition!
Of course it is a play on "condemn" I understand this.
But why not acknowledge the term with the opposition the next time they use it?
"You're behind as usual, we use this term internally to remind our team to keep condemning your party for the mess they left our finances in, the mess they made of the infrastructure, the mess they made of our young unmarried mothers and single parent families, the mess they made with our children's future. Every time you use the term it reminds us, and perhaps the public of how you made an almighty mess of everything you touched.
C'mon on guys, attack, you know it's the best form of defence!
This is a computer software business model and is a growing success.
If we take a company which sells their software for £300 and they have five thousand customers and 20% of these take out a £150 a year support contract they will show a gross income of £M1.65. But, remember, they have to give limited support to all their other customers as well.
Now supposing the company gives the software, and the source code (their intellectual rights) away free, and their five thousand customers grow to a hundred thousand customers. Supposing only 15% of these take out a support contract. This will mean an income of £M2.25. In addition, because the software is free, the company would not be required to give limited support which could mean more people may purchase a support contract. In addition to this, the company would establish a support forum where the customers would be willing to help each other. And before you scoff at this, it is happening everywhere, all the time.
Further to this, because the source code is available, others would add extra function to the program. The software licence would ask people who added functionality to send the code to the company who might add it to the next version. So there is less work for the support engineers and more can be employed in servicing support contracts.
Although I don't have the actual figures (Canonical who wrote Ubuntu in 1955 is a private limited company) and released the software and the intellectual property rights (the source code) into the public arena, was a small company with less than half a dozen employees. However, as at July 2010, they have 350 employees in twenty-six different countries. All by giving their software product away free.
Canonical must make money or it wouldn't survive and, as in my previous example, they make their money with company support contracts, training and proficiency certificates.
A lot of people say that businesses will never use Linux. This is a very outdated idea. For example, there are more servers in the world running Linux than running Windows. Out of the 500 "super computers" in the world, 94% run Linux and only 1% run Windows. With mobile telephones, The open source Android operating system from Google is expanding at a rapid rate and is due this month to overtake Windows Mobile in sheer volume.
I have recently learned that the French Gendarmes have moved 70,000 PCs over to Ubuntu, and are scheduled to move a further 30,000 this year. Spain have 500,000 Ubuntu PCs spread across their schools, colleges, universities and educational departments. Citroen have moved 100 servers and 20,000 desktops over to SuSE Linux.
Last week I attended a seminar in London called "Ubuntu in Business" where I learned of some major business software writers writing CRM and other large business programs for the Corporate marketplace.
One such program, "OpenERP" is a business management application, or ERP system, which consists of an integrated set of modules comprising of areas like accounting, manufacturing, stock management, CRM, sales management, logistics, and project management. This is a fully Open Source product consisting of over 350 modules and sold in over 45 countries.
Although the British Government have been slow in adopting Linux than their European counterparts, I have heard from one or two MPs that they are now looking at this more seriously.
There will be a second part to this story later when I have gone through all my notes of the meeting, but it will be after I have published the August edition of our newspaper at the end of this month.
I have been reading a lot of blogs writing about whether we should ban the burqa, together with a lot of frenzied comments taking either side of the argument. It has given me enough food for thought and I have sat down and slowly considered the arguments on both sides.
Finally, as a libertarian, I have decided that this is not something that should concern the Government, the Judges, or the Civil Service.
I have studied the arguments that this is something insisted upon by husbands to subject their women folk, as is their custom to make the women wear black clothing that absorbs the heat of the sun, thus making them unbearably hot in the summer, whereas the men wear lighter clothing that deflects the heat of the sun's rays.
It is nothing to do with government if there are evil men about making the lives of their womenfolk unbearable. If the women really hate it they have means in Britain to divorce and if they fear their husbands and fathers, they will be given protection. Also decent people could bring pressure to bear by not employing men who force their women to wear black and wear the burqa. And neighbours can also let these people know exactly where they stand in society.
As for wearing the burqa in public, I can see no harm if a bank, building society or any shop or store bans people wearing the burqa as long as they also ban people wearing crash helmets or hoods.
However, passports and driving licences are a special case as these documents are used to identify the holder. With our present system, five woman in the same household could share one driving licence and if they get banned, then the next woman can use her licence so you could have four banning orders and still all woman would be able to drive. So a good deal of thought needs to be given here.
If the final decision is to allow a person wearing a burqa to be photographed for these documents with their faces totally covered then, for British Justice to be fair and to be seen to be fair, other non-Muslims should be allowed to be photographed for their passports or driving licenses wearing ski masks, balaclavas or a ladies stocking over their faces.
Should I buy a mobile phone on contract?
I hate paying out anything on a regular contract. I hate borrowing money, and I hate incurring interest of any sort. All my credit cards are paid off each month by direct debit so that, if there is any error, it is the error of the credit card company.
So, as you can imagine, I always paid cash for my mobile phones and pay as I go.
But this time around, I decided to look into the figures. As I have been with Virgin from the beginning, I decided to check them out and as my previous phone was the HTC Hero, and I didn't like the iPhone, I decided on the faster HTC Desire..
First of all, a 24 month contract cost £840 (payable at £35 a month for two years). For this I get 1,000 free minutes (£200 at PAYG rate), 3,000 free texts (£300 at PAYG rates) and one Gigabyte of Internet (£9 at PAYG rates).
However, I wanted to pay £25 a month and found I could pay £149.99 up front and get the monthly tariff lowered to £25 a month, but my free calls came down to 600 a month, and everything else stayed the same. This was OK with me as there is no way I can make 600 calls a month and over the months have never even reached half way, and I use it all the time! 3,000 texts is just ridiculous! And a gigabyte of Internet is more than generous. Virgin had evidently made an error with the up-front payment as they have since raised it to £199.99.
Looking at this another way. The phone was £460 at Amazon when it came out – and when I got mine. Although it is under £400 now. I am paying 24 x £25 plus the one off payment of £149.99. So over two years I will have paid out £749.99. If we deduct the Amazon price for the new phone from this figure we are left with £289.99, or £12.08 a month.
And, I am getting 600 minutes to any cellphone or land-line, 3,000 texts, and a Gigabyte of Internet, all for £12.08 a month.
Or around 20 minutes talk, 100 texts and 33 Megabytes of Internet a day.
It was only after I worked all this out that I decided to bite the bullet and take out the contract.


Construction of new homes is on the rise.
According to recent figures released by RPData, confidence in the housing market is improving and this is "showing up in improved development activity and demand for new homes."
On a National level this is great news for the building industry and the economy. On a State level, "The New South Wales region is the driving force behind the surge in dwelling approvals with the latest August data showing a 48% lift in private sector approvals compared August 2012."

Hunter to be the leading region for Capital Growth.
Great news for Hunter home owners and investors reported in the Newcastle Herald last month regarding the predicted growth in the property market over the next 8 years.
A variety of factors including the Mining Boom, Rental Shortage, Interest Rate cuts and increases in incomes all contribute to the forecast that the Hunter will be the leader in capital growth over the coming years.
Investing in the Hunter today will provide fantastic long term results for Home Owners and Investors.


From time to time, students and individuals seek office hours, wishing to present you long, rambling, detailed narratives for your commentary and, in a significant sense, your approval. The troubles begin when you realize some of the individuals are not real, they are your characters.
Most of the students are easy to deal with before much time has elapsed. You begin to see direct applications of time tested approaches to turning narratives into stories that have the same potential for engaging readers as dogs in animal shelters have for engaging the affections and stewardship of adult humans.
To a lesser but still satisfying extent, you're able to provide individuals with suggestions that seem to infuse them with a galvanic radiance as they set off to put their narrative visions to work. The difference between students and individuals is often age based; individuals have had time to develop defenses, suspicions, even layers of intransigence you find only in rare occasions among younger students. The young want to sweep forth in energetic parade, seeking simultaneous adventure and world-changing results.
The individuals are another matter. They want to argue, to insist on the aptness of the logic and justice behind their narrative. You would think the roles would be reversed and somehow the more adult the writer, the more the writer would wish to change the world, in a sense that possibly jumps the metaphor track, to break up the cultural gridlock in which they have become angry, horn-tooting tourists.
Nevertheless, you find yourself able to cope, to slip in direct suggestions as opposed to generalizations and the canned tropes of convention. One method you employ with satisfying results is to ask the students to consider conventional gridlock in which they feel trapped or to identify conventions they feel have somehow betrayed them. In a real sense, you've given them a Swiss Army knife for their narrative toolkit.
Thus equipped, the students and some adult individuals are able to lever, drill, pry, etch, chop, and otherwise hew away at narrative beyond the point where it is mere complaint and now heading for the shape of story.
And so you come to the trouble, which, as usual, begins with you, to whom long, rambling narratives, the occasional harangue or heavy-handed satire are no strangers. They, too, wish the equivalent of office hours with you, wherein to argue, badger, and insist on the scholastic, historical aptness of their complaint.
At such times, particularly after a day of teaching and consulting, your own work may come out lackluster, seeming flat in every dimension except argument. But you insist: Story is not argument. Story is yearning that triggers action that produces results, which produce the ash of consequence. Close at hand to many of the fire places you have seen and, indeed, have used yourself, there is a broom of some sort and a shovel, tools to cope with the remnants, the ashes.
You quite agree with Robert Burns' sentiment that having the gift to see our self as others see us would, indeed, from many a blunder free us. In that same spirit, you find yourself wishing for the gift to see your own work and your own characters as you see the work and characters of others.
The sound of clanking on the floor is the sound of a key, fallen from your pocket. The fallen key is the construct of the action verb. The key to unlock the troubles is one or more verbs a character can act upon as opposed to ponder.
And there, you have it. Act vs. ponder. Instead of considering ways gain entry, he kicks the door in. True enough, some gifted actors can portray pondering in ways that will cause you to observe, "Oh, he's pondering his options." But kicking in the door here is more definitive in important ways.
Thinking in this dramatic sense is the equivalent of authorial intervention and/or authorial uncertainty. Give your characters the steroidal equivalent of action verbs. So what if they can't pass the urine test.

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) has issued a policy statement providing guidance on the information it finds helpful and the factors it considers when reviewing multiemployer plan proposals for alternative terms and conditions to satisfy withdrawal liability. Trustees may seek to settle withdrawal liability as part of an alternative allocation arrangement (a combined alternative allocation method and settlement) or as a separate settlement. The policy statement does not provide specific examples of alternative allocation arrangements. Rather, it states principles and encourages plans to discuss the issue with the PBGC before formally submitting a review request.
Although plans are not required to request the PBGC's review of proposed terms in order to settle withdrawal liability, many plans seek PBGC's determination that the settlement is not inconsistent with the provisions of Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Because each situation presents a unique set of facts, the PBGC considers each matter on a case-by-case basis. PBGC targets a 180-day period within which to complete its review of less complex proposals and a 270-day period for more complex proposals (such as an alternative allocation arrangement). The policy statement provides multiemployer plans with guidance on the information the PBGC needs and the balancing of interests that the PBGC considers.
The policy statement provides that, as a general policy goal in evaluating a proposal, the PBGC looks to whether the trustees have supported their conclusion that the proposed alternative terms and conditions would "realistically maximize" the collection of withdrawal liability and projected contributions relative to the withdrawal liability rules under ERISA. The PBGC must be convinced that the alternative terms are in the interests of participants and beneficiaries, do not create an unreasonable risk of loss to the PBGC insurance program, and are otherwise not inconsistent with Title IV of ERISA.
For proposals intended to extend plan solvency through a continued commitment of contributing employers to the plan, the PBGC finds it helpful to see support that the proposal acts to retain employers and secures from them a long-term contribution commitment. The PBGC also finds helpful support showing that, absent the proposal, employers would withdraw from the plan or significantly reduce contributions, placing the plan's solvency at risk.
Information on the composition of contributing employers and their ability to meet their obligations if they elect to settle under the plan's rules.
The PBGC has previously identified most of the criteria in the policy statement. However, this is the first time that it has provided the information in a written, formal statement. Although it remains to be seen how the policy statement will be implemented, it may prove useful to plans facing significant funding distress that are seeking a proactive approach to extending plan solvency.
Based on its considerable experience with the PBGC, Segal can be of assistance to any plan considering an alternative method.

Academic, Professional and General > Science > Biology > Ecology
Academic, Professional and General > Philosophy and psychology > Ethics (Moral philosophy)
What Everyone Needs to Know
Provides a thorough introduction to sustainability's history and its major stakeholders
Walks the reader through key concepts that have guided policy and scholarship on sustainability
Encompasses a diverse range of sustainability's applications, including climate change, profitable business models, social justice, and governance
Grounded in systems thinking and written without technical jargon, emphasizes larger systems concepts over details
Combines authors' areas of expertise to cover environmental ethics, agriculture, and economics of sustainability among other angles on the topic series
While politicians, entrepreneurs, and even school children could tell you that sustainability is an important and nearly universal value, many of them, and many of us, may struggle to define the term, let alone trace its history. What is sustainability? Is it always about the environment? What science do we need to fully grasp what it requires? What does sustainability mean for business? How can governments plan for a sustainable future?
This short, accessible book written in the signature question-and-answer format of the What Everyone Needs to Know® series tackles these and numerous other questions. Sustainability is a porous topic, which has been adapted and reshaped for developing ecological models, improving corporate responsibility, setting environmental and land-use policies, organizing educational curricula, and reimagining the goals of governance and democracy. Where other treatments of this topic tend to focus on just one application of sustainability, this primer encompasses everything from global development and welfare to social justice and climate change. With chapters that discuss sustainability in the contexts of profitable businesses, environmental risks, scientific research, and the day-to-day business of local government, it gives readers a deep understanding of one of the most essential concepts of our time.
Bringing to bear experience in natural resource conservation, agriculture, the food industry, and environmental ethics, authors Paul B. Thompson and Patricia E. Norris explain clearly what sustainability means, and why getting it right is so important for the future of our planet.
Chapter 1. What is Sustainability?
Chapter 2. Sustainability and Business
Chapter 3. Sustainability and Ecology
Chapter 4. Sustainability and Environmental Quality
Chapter 5. Sustainable Development
Chapter 6. Sustainability and Social Justice
Chapter 7. Sustainable Governance
Chapter 8. Sustainability in Science, Education, Religion, and the Arts
Chapter 9. Sustainability: What Everyone Needs to Ask
Paul B. Thompson is trained in philosophy and has spent a career of research and writing with a focus on technological risks and on ethical questions that arise in connection with agriculture and the food system. He is the W.K. Kellogg Chair in Agricultural Food and Community Ethics at Michigan State University, and author of numerous articles. His book From Field to Fork: Food Ethics for Everyone was published by Oxford University Press in 2015. It won the "Book of the Year" award for 2015 from the North American Society for Social Philosophy.
Patricia E. Norris is a natural resource economist with a specialization in the economics and policy of natural resources and the environment. Her academic career has focused on land and water management and policy with a focus on how public and private interests are reconciled. She is the Gordon and Norma Guyer and Gary L. Seevers Chair in Natural Resource Conservation at Michigan State University.
"Sustainability is the hot buzzword these days. Does it take a whole book to explain what it means? Yes and how lucky we are to have it. This is a book about how to think about what it takes to keep systems going. The Q and A format makes difficult and contested concepts especially easy to follow." -- Marion Nestle, Professor Emerita, New York University, and author of Let's Ask Marion: What You Need to Know about Food, Nutrition, and Health
"This book may surprise many readers by exploring sustainability from such diverse fields as business and scientific realms to social justice and the arts. Their lens of 'systems thinking' helps explain why sustainability and resilience increasingly dominates public and private sector agendas today." -- Christine Ervin, Former President and CEO, U.S. Green Building Council
"Thompson and Norris are some of the most distinguished academics in the field of sustainability. Although the book is clearly underpinned by a considerable body of evidence, the writing style is engaging and easily digestible. It will serve as an excellent introduction to the topic for students and curious readers alike." -- Michael Braungart, Chemist and Founder of EPEA International GmbH, and Co-Founder of MBDC

Gift of Tseng Kwong Chi artwork to Block Museum honors past provost
October 17, 2017 | By Stephanie Kulke
Tseng Kwong Chi's 'Mt Rushmore, North Dakota,' from the 'Expeditionary Self-Portrait Series'
Works acquired through a gift made by the museum's board of advisors
Gift honors Daniel Linzer, Northwestern provost from 2007-17
Additional gift made to the museum by the Estate of Tseng Kwong Chi
EVANSTON - The Block Museum of Art is pleased to announce the acquisition of a suite of works by photographer Tseng Kwong Chi (1950-90).
Two significant photographs by the artist were recently presented to the museum as a gift from its board of advisors in honor of Daniel Linzer, who served as Northwestern University provost from 2007-17. As provost, Linzer was instrumental in championing the Block's interdisciplinary mission and vision. Linzer departed from Northwestern in July 2017 to serve as president of the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA).
In conjunction with the board's gift, seven additional works were generously gifted directly to the museum from Muna Tseng Dance Projects Inc. and the Estate of Tseng Kwong Chi. New York-based dancer/choreographer Muna Tseng is the sister and executor of her late brother's estate.
"The Block Museum is doubly grateful, first to Daniel Linzer for his decade of service to Northwestern University and for his unflagging support of the Block Museum of Art," said Lisa Corrin, the Block Museum's Ellen Phillips Katz director. "We are also grateful to our board of advisors who recognized the importance of Linzer's leadership to the Block's success and for their generosity in bringing Tseng Kwong Chi's important work to Northwestern University, where it will be used in teaching and learning across campus."
About Tseng Kwong Chi
Born in Hong Kong, educated in Vancouver and Paris and later based in New York City, Tseng Kwong Chi produced a large body of witty, playful performance-based photography that both captured the pivotal downtown Manhattan art and club scenes of the 1980s and reflected the increasingly globalized movement of people across nations and continents. Chi called himself an "inquisitive traveler, a witness of my time and an ambiguous ambassador." His works alternately function as witness to his life and community and as wry social commentary, raising critical questions about identity and culture.
In the fall of 2016, the Block Museum of Art presented the major exhibition "Tseng Kwong Chi: Performing for the Camera," which originated with New York University's Grey Art Gallery and the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia. The exhibition featured more than 80 photographs including well-known works from the series "East Meets West (Expeditionary Self-Portraits)" and "Costumes at the Met, New York," which the board of advisors purchased for the museum.
About the Block Museum Gift
This selection of photographs acquired by the Block Museum provides a sample of Tseng's artistic evolutions, starting with his cultural role-playing at a costume gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the "Costumes at the Met" series(1980). Posing with socialites and major figures from the worlds of art, politics and fashion while dressed in his iconic Mao suit, Tseng took snapshots that freeze moments of perfectly orchestrated irony.
Four of the works are from Tseng's "Moral Majority" series, which were originally taken for a story in a 1981 Soho Weekly News article entitled "Right Face: The Conservative Cast in Focus." For the series, Tseng invited individuals associated with the politically conservative Moral Majority to pose in front of a wrinkled American flag. When asked about the condition of the flag, Tseng replied that it was meant to look as if it were blowing in the wind. In this series, Tseng exchanges his Mao suit for a seersucker suit to identify with, rather than distinguish himself from, his subjects.
The acquisition also features later photographs from Tseng's "Expeditionary Series." Where earlier photographs from his tours around the world feature Tseng large in the frame, standing tall and confident in front of Notre Dame in Paris or in the middle of Times Square, these two examples of later works ("Mt Rushmore, North Dakota" (1986); and "Wisconsin, (tractors)" (1987) represent the culmination of his work in compositions that drown his dwarfed figure and seem to highlight the overwhelming power of his surroundings.
Tseng's work is in line with the Block's commitment to collecting art created from diverse perspectives while expanding upon the collection's traditional areas of strength in photography and works on paper. In addition to being influential within the New York scene of the 1980s, Tseng's work has played an important role in the development of contemporary Chinese art. In the 1980s, artists such as Ai Weiwei, Zhang Huan and Song Dong learned about Tseng's photographs through American art magazines and were influenced by his work. The Block is committed not only to maintaining a global perspective but to promoting interdisciplinary discussions, both of which are highlighted by Tseng's humorously critical and satirical photographs.

Hey! Gamers, I know that you are super-excited to read this one particular. Surely, you can't miss this out (click the following link to get fifa 18 coins as quickly as rapidly ) . But this time it truly is going to be one thing really unexpected and remarkable. The FIFA 18 is coming up using a bang and varied new extraordinary attributes.
FIFA is usually a series of different consecutive football games that are released annually by the EA Sports. Men and women took substantially time for acquiring utilized to this game because the game focused mainly on competitors in lieu of becoming just a mere source of entertainment for them. For the time getting its release has been scheduled for 29th September, 2017. If speaking about its very first appear, the games appear pretty astounding and pretty impressive to the viewers/gamers.
This could incorporate the improvements in opinion, overall atmosphere, stadium and its personal audience. The audience that would be observed in this game could possibly be a replica of those folks from all around the planet making it appear far more realistic. Here, Frostbite engine is at the moment playing a crucial part within the progress of its demonstration.
The authenticity of the sports characters within this sport is enhanced. They'll act like actual sportspersons showing each the behaviour on and off traits off the ball. It's going to also highlight the signature turns, shots and moves of different players inside the match.
This feature will not be new but is upgraded. The journey are going to be followed as the preceding year's FIFA Version. It can as soon as again follow the tale of Alex Hunter. But the distinction is the fact that FIFA 18 is going to possess new and varied areas and more new and astounding names in the stars. That is in deed going to become extremely fascinating to determine how the adjustments within the FIFA 18 really stands out and if fans are going to take pleasure in it or not. Probably, the new adjustments and improvements will generate FIFA 18 far better.
FIFA 17's dribbling mechanics usually feel lopsided, especially on the internet. So as to permit players infuse elevated creativity in to the 1v1 situation, a dribbling upgrade created for the forthcoming game. Ever because, all of the matches until today have already been made 1 dimensional; FIFA has to feel of new developments within this circumstance also. We expect this will likely even demonstrate some improvement.
Both docked in conjunction with the mobile modes might be eased with the Online /Offline seasons and FUT Drafts. The Journey will not advance toward Nintendo Switch, yet Ultimate Team will.
I think these modifications are fairly refreshing and all of us hope that the FIFA 18 is much less difficult and much more fascinating . Aside from all these improvements as well as the introduction of new features, the FIFA 18 misses out specific characteristics as well. The world continues to be super-anxious for this. The Heartthrob of millions, Christiano Ronaldo has been announced because the FIFA 18 Cover Star. Known as the 1 blurring the line amongst the non-real and genuine worlds, FIFA 18 is bringing for you a wholesome practical experience to make your favourite football players perform inside your fingers and based on you.


Thanks. Then yeah, that's all he needs to do, set up Sky2 in his MAPINFO, and then any sector with a sector effect of 200 will use the alternate sky.
First Doom fan site(s) you ever found?
I believe the first Doom fan site I stumbled upon was doomarchive.com, though my memory could serve me wrong.
Yeah, there's no texture in Heretic that definitively says "this is a lift" the way PLAT1 does in Doom. So I tried to always use SKULLSB1 to hopefully train the player to see it as the Lift Texture. Apparently not to great success. The added problem in E2M3 is that there isn't any good place to put a walkover trigger to lower the lift, especially without adding an extra linedef. But I'll put it on my list of things to look at and see if I come up with a better solution.
Sky2 = "<texture>", [scrollspeed] Again, not sure if this holds up in UDMF, but in Hexen map format, any sector given a Sector Special of 200 displayed the second sky for its ceiling. That was hardcoded, so you couldn't change what number the Sector Special was. In UDMF, it might be a flag or something, I don't know. I haven't done much mapping in UDMF.
HOCX has monster changes and additions however. Definitely additions, atleast (from DooM/Hexen).
Difference between performance on Zandronum and GZDoom?
This isn't meant to be aggressive or anything, it's more a sincere question (because I'm fascinated by the logic behind this kind of stuff) but why is it that Zandronum seems to run so much better than GZDoom? I understand GZDoom has more available settings, but at the same resolution with all fancy graphical effects turned off GZDoom consistently has a lower choppier framerate than Zandronum, at least in my experience. Assuming they're both branches off of ZDoom, what exactly is the story here? Was there extra attention paid to Zandronum since it has to run well on multiplayer, OR is there a more fundamental overhaul of GZDoom that causes it to run differently that I'm not aware of?
Using the bsp lines like in cristicbz/rust-doom sounds like a good idea, however, I am a bit confused about lines 686 to 688 since I've never read Rust before. He's doing something in order to later determine the inside_bsp_and_segs boolean, but I can't figure out what they're determined from, since the l and d variables appear to come out of nowhere with a strange syntax on 686 and 687? Other than that, the approach seems quite good and not hugely complicated. Do you know what these within_bsp and within_seg flags mean in the code example you gave? EDIT: Nvm, I found it. That syntax with || characters is quite hard to search for, since search engines filter special characters, but it's a Rust feature called Closures, which is equivalent to lambda functions. The code makes a lot more sense now.
@Not JabbaWill Hordes of Chaos X and/or HUMP work? These are the last map(set) I can think of ATM to have modifications that hasn't been mentioned.
Thank you very much. I must admit it was an embarrassing error on my side.
Awesome, thanks! True, I had that same experience with D'Sparil. The thing about the Tomed Phoenix Rod is that it's difficult to use in a well-designed combat situation, because if you go in close and try to focus on single enemies, other things will be attacking you from other angles. That's why it needed to get so powerful as a trade-off for Wayfarer, and for more casual combat, it's just fun to use it to mow things down. Unfortunately, the original Heretic has really bad boss fight setups, especially facing D'Sparil alone in a huge empty arena where he's the least threatening. Aside from using Spadger's brightness fixes, the mod hasn't touched D'Sparil at all, because he's not used in Wayfarer and I don't intend to ever use him for anything else. That said, he could probably stand to get a buff. A zero percent pain chance seems pretty logical for the final boss of a game. I'm glad everything else feels like it's working as intended! The Lightbringer does seem like it could throw off the balance of a map that isn't designed with it in mind, which is why I kept the Firemace as default.
You're probably not going to get a dedicated and regularly updated port for the Pi, because the Pi is a comparatively small demographic to target and the general belief in the open-source community is that someone who wants something badly enough has the source - they can port it. So I'd presume most people are fine with PrBoom for their Doom needs on Pi. I mean, yeah, it won't run ZDoom mods, but if the Pi doesn't have the grunt to handle ZDoom well, that becomes moot.
There isn't any. Those were his two standalone maps, his other five got put into the Master Levels (all of which got ported to PSX Doom), and Waters of Lethe was never released. Hence, "Ah damn it," as the gun was sort of jumped. But if they're already made and done, it'd be silly to say "let someone else make them."

Chris Jam is Project Manager and one of the Lead Poets for Wordsmith Awards, one of our consulting slam producers in the North West.
Wordsmith Awards is an inter school performance poetry Wordshop and showcase project which goes into schools across Manchester and works with students for 6 weeks creating and rehearsing original poetry or spoken word. The project culminates in a showcase with specific prizes for certain categories and certificates and prizes for all students who take part. We have a website (www.wordsmithawards.com), which over the next year will be utilised by working with schools to create original works to be posted up on the site. The site will also be helping to promote Shake The Dust project.
I originally started out as a DJ in a sound system – Jam MC's – and during our sets we created a very distinctive poetic style of delivery. In 2000 I created Speakeasy with Segun Le French which went on to become one of Manchester's best known spoken word events. Over the years with Speakeasy I gradually found my feet as a performance poet.
There have been many many moments that have sent a jolt of joyous energy up and down my spine whilst working with groups of young people. For instance, the atmosphere at Wordsmith Awards showcases where we experience the fruition of the project, to be amongst these young people and their families who often have not seen their sons or daughters being articulate and confident is indeed priceless. During the nitty gritty of the Wordshops one always comes across some young people with issues and to be a part of enabling them to move forward and create an outlet where they are in charge and able to forge something positive in their lives is extremely valuable. Within the Wordshops we will always encounter one student who has all the components necessary to allow them to develop as an artist of one form or another and assisting these rarefied souls is a sheer honour. Lastly whilst conducting Wordshops I am always without fail struck by the fact that young people are very switched on to what is occurring in the wider world and that these types of activity are essential as a platform to a) give them a voice and b) to relay to adults how important it is to facilitate opportunities where young people can feel like equals with adults especially there teachers.
What's unique about poetry in Manchester?
Manchester without doubt has an immense amount of talented and passionate poets and a vibrant scene to match. The work done at Contact Theatre is unparalleled and this is augmented by a plethora of dynamic nights and writing groups like Young Identity, Poets Get Mashed, Manky Poets, Speakeasy and many more.
What do you hope young people in the North West will get out of Shake the Dust?
For me Shake the Dust will give a large number of young people confidence, pride, skills, precious time with young people of like minds, the opportunity for growth, contact with professionals that can enlighten and inspire them and experience of how performance poetry and arts in general can offer them an enriching career path.
What makes a good slam poem?
A good poetry slam needs dedicated and skilled poet facilitators, ample not tokenistic time with their students, skilled project management and well thought out rules for the slam itself designed to let poets express without feeling like their lives depend on it.
What would you like to see happening in the UK youth poetry scene in the future?
Outside of projects like this I feel that the internet is the perfect medium for young poets.
