It was a revolution in communication and one that lay the foundation for technological advances such as the smart phone. In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone. It was not his only scientific contribution, albeit his most famous one.
Bell witnessed the impacts of hearing loss firsthand. His mother lost her hearing as a child and his wife was deaf. Additionally, his grandfather, father, and brother all worked in areas associated with speech and hearing. This exposure and subsequent interest led him to develop the first audiometer in 1879. Around that same time German physician, Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz, invented an electrically driven tuning fork to measure hearing sensitivity.
Shortly thereafter, just before 1900, Carl E. Seashore introduced what we now know as a traditional audiometer. His device relied on battery power, and functioned by presenting a series of clicks. Seashore's invention established the foundation of hearing testing methods that we still abide by today.
The commercialization of hearing technology came about in the 1920s. Western Electric developed the first commercially produced electronic audiometer. The price tag for the technology, fifteen hundred dollars, about the same as the price of a house at the time, kept it out of reach for many.
The introduction of the jet engine during World War II further propelled hearing research. The Army Air Corps noted that hearing loss from the sound of jet engines could occur in a short period of time making "verbal communication impossible and caused a series of physical manifestations." These findings led the US Air Force to publish its first regulation on hearing conservation in the late 1940s. Advancements in hearing health continued to rise including the development of more portable audiometers in the 1950s.
This added portability served as a valuable tool to audiologists, bringing hearing testing out into the community, but they were not without their limitations. Many still required a power source and a modicum of expertise to operate. For those that worked off of battery power, the added weight was restrictive. While weight is often still an issue today, many portable versions provide basic testing ability but lack the advanced functionality we have become accustom to in modern-day audiology. Lastly, the data output when using portable audiometers is typically handwritten audiograms, which has inherent data management limitations.
Enter the 21st century and the rise of the tablet computer.
Microsoft was first on the scene with its new portable computer, followed by the launch of Apple's revolutionary iPad in 2010. Tablets have changed the way we communicate. Small, compact, and lightweight, these "data centres on the go" transformed information technology almost overnight. It wasn't long before the medical community began to take notice.
With the invention of the tablet-based audiometer comes a new revolution in hearing health care. Innovative thinkers recognized that the mobility and true portability of these powerful computing devices could be used to rethink the way audiometers are used. Composed of software, a tablet, and a set of calibrated headphones, a new evolution in audiometry is being realized.
The most advanced tablet audiometry systems offer ambient background noise monitoring that is helping to usher in an era of "boothless technology" in hearing testing. They are compact, ultra-lightweight, and do not need an external power source to function. Many tablet audiometers offer multiple testing methods including manual and automated modes. In manual mode the system is fully controlled by the tester, to help meet the specific testing needs of the patient and/or the environment. In automated mode, the system functions in a game-like fashion – the patient virtually tests themselves using pre-set configurations. In this mode, non-hearing professionals such as teachers, nurses, family physicians, and therapists can administer testing. Because of its simplicity, this new way of testing is opening doors for hearing evaluation, reducing potentially long wait times to see an audiologist, and thus getting people the help they need sooner.
Another added benefit of tablet audiometers is that although they can function in offline mode, adding WiFi connectivity means that data can be organized and stored in meaningful ways. Furthermore, data can be backed up to compliant storage services, shared among health care providers, and easily moved to other reporting systems such as electronic medical records. Vast amounts of data can be gathered, stored, and analyzed for hearing health research or for managing historical employee records. Tablet audiometers can also offer advanced functionality such as integrated speech discrimination testing, hearing health questionnaires, and central auditory processing testing. From a clinical validity standpoint, established tablet audiometers often conform to the various technical and privacy requirements stipulated by ANSI, OSHA, and HIPAA. Several systems have been systematically evaluated and you can find a multitude of peer-reviewed research papers supporting their clinical validity.
Today, tablet audiometers are changing how hearing health is managed. This is a landmark development in the evolution of audiology. They are being actively used in over 50 countries worldwide for a variety of reasons including clinical evaluation, tuberculosis treatment monitoring, school screening, rural testing, humanitarian missions, occupational hearing programs, and more. I'd like to share a few of my personal experiences using tablet audiometers in non-clinical settings.
Last year, an Ottawa-based initiative called iHear was born at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine. Under the guidance of Dr. Matthew Bromwich, an otolaryngologist at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), a team of approximately 40 medical students volunteered to go into local primary schools and test the hearing of students in grades 1 and 2 using SHOEBOX Audiometry. SHOEBOX is a clinically validated tablet audiometer. The medical students were responsible for managing and executing all aspects of the program, and for ensuring that appropriate audiological and medical follow up pathways were established in advance. Over a 3-month period in early 2015, 251 students were screened for hearing loss. 12 students were detected with hearing-related concerns with one of those found to have a profound loss in one ear. All 12 students have since been referred to an audiologist for further evaluation, and an ENT specialist when warranted. The exciting news is that three other Canadian cities are coming on board in September 2016: Halifax, Saskatoon, and Montreal. As an advisor and an active participant on the original iHear program, I can say that testing outside of a sound booth does present unique challenges. In some of the schools, we were set up to perform our testing in the library. While we were in a generally quiet room, we just so happened to be positioned at a table under a relatively loud fan. Moving our testing station 10 feet away was enough to reduce the ambient noise at 500 Hz sufficiently to be under the Maximum Permissible Ambient Noise Levels (MPANLs) stated by ANSI. In these types of settings, transducer selection takes on additional importance, where passive and active noise-cancelling headsets are helpful options.
Also, even though tablets are generally considered ubiquitous amongst a student population, and many have been playing iPad games since they were toddlers, some children under the age of 5 could struggle to maintain their attention for the duration of the test. I would not recommend leaving children of this age to self-administer the exam, but rather employ a hybrid of the game and tester assistance. Providing regular encouragement and taking short breaks will help you successfully complete the tests in a reasonable amount of time. Older children, however, will find the gameplay interface of these systems engaging and they generally do not have any problems completing the tests with minimal supervision. In fact, we have seen evidence that testing using these methods is often preferred over traditional equipment.
In another example, I had the recent pleasure of visiting a pharmacy where a small clinic had been set up to provide complimentary hearing evaluations for local older adults. We have all read the statistics that on average 1 in 3 adults over the age of 65 suffer some hearing loss. We wanted to help newly identify individuals who might be struggling to hear, and help get them referred to an audiology clinic for follow-up care. What I learned was that many of the people we tested had never interacted with an iPad, and had not yet been exposed to the "drag and drop" activity that is so common with a tablet. Limited dexterity made this a potentially frustrating action for this population. In this case, the simple workaround was to have the individual verbally or physically indicate when they heard the tone, and we would manipulate the iPad, and "drag and drop" the icons on their behalf.
In my final example, we move out into the field. I have been working closely with several of our customers who are using SHOEBOX Audiometry for both humanitarian missions and ototoxic monitoring clinical trials. One of the amazing benefits being realized when using a tablet audiometer in these types of settings is the vast amount of data being collected in an electronic fashion. Patient demographic information and test results are stored, and backed up to a central, encrypted storage service. This development opens up new, exciting avenues to be able to aggregate and analyze a global database of hearing health data. The possibility this creates is endless and I could write an entire article on the potential here alone.
In summary, tablet audiometry is improving access by creating new opportunities to identify hearing loss. From field testing in remote locations, including audiometry as part of your annual visit to the family physician, assessing children's hearing in schools, and managing onsite occupational hearing programs for your employees, these modern approaches are opening new pathways to clinically valid hearing evaluation. A tablet with calibrated headphones and specialized software including noise monitoring, this simple yet sophisticated technology can administer a myriad of diagnostic hearing tests to a wide array of patients.

Wallows' "OK" Gets a Euphonic Refresh From Remi Wolf and Solomonophonic
Remi Wolf and Solomonophonic brings us a brand new fresh version for Wallows' heartening single "OK"
The single 'OK' is also a musical reunion for Remi and Wallows, as Remi previously co-wrote "These Days" with the band for their Spring EP and lived in a house with Cole Preston while they both attended USC.
Wallows released their quarantine-made EP 'Remote' in October, celebrating with a performance onJimmy Kimmel Live! All songs on 'Remote' were produced by Sachi DiSerafino, John DeBold, and Wallows, except for "Nobody Gets Me (Like You)" which was produced by Ariel Rechtshaid (Vampire Weekend, Haim, Adele).
Their acclaimed Atlantic Records debut album, Nothing Happens, was produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner John Congleton (St. Vincent, Alvvays, Future Islands) and includes the hit singles, "Are You Bored Yet? (Feat. Clairo)" and "Scrawny." AYBY is certified Platinum in the US and Mexico, Gold in Australia, and has now surpassed 430M global streams.
Wallows – OK (with Remi Wolf & Solomonophonic)
"Are You Bored Yet?" was also named one of Spotify's predictions for Songs of the Summer 2020 and hit #2 on the Alternative radio chart. On the live front, Wallows 2019 Nothing Happens headline tour sold out and upgraded numerous venues globally. The band also opened for Vampire Weekend in California in 2018 and London in 2019 and have performed at several large festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and more. Wallows were set for a 2020 headline tour, including performances at Lollapalooza Brazil, Chile & Argentina.
Remi Wolf's songs are anchored by powerhouse vocals, psychedelic pop instrumentals, and lurid lo-fi imagery. With her debut EP You're A Dog! and its major label follow-up EP, I'm Allergic To Dogs!, all eyes are on Remi Wolf as she has quickly cemented herself as an unpredictable, genre-bending star in the making.
Solomonophonic is the production genius behind up-and coming LA based artist Remi Wolf. He's produced and co-written just about all of Remi's releases, as well as playing guitar in her touring band. Their new music has already landed high profile syncs from the likes of Samsung and Apple. His most recent cuts include Fousheé's newest single "Single AF" on RCA and two songs on

Researched by Jackie Embury
By Jackie Embury
Harry Oakley Christy was the son of John Hart Christy and Annie Oakley, born at High Street Post Office, Ashwell (Parade House) on 15 March 1877, he also died at Parade House on 29 April 1924 and is buried in Ashwell Cemetery.
In the 1901 Census Harry is listed as living and working as a draper's assistant in Streatham High Road, probably gaining drapery experience before moving back to Christys (Ashwell Stores) in 1909.
It would appear that Harry was a Volunteer Army Cyclist, probably around 1900 (ie at the time of the Boer War). Volunteer cyclists were recruited into Army service in the 1880s, in a communications support role, and were later formally incorporated into the Territorial Force (created 1908) – during the 1914-18 War these then became the various Cyclist Battalions.
During this period it is likely that Harry met his wife-to-be, Louisa Patey who in the 1901 Census is listed as cook/domestic to a barrister at 50 Billinghurst Street, Hanover Square, London.
Louisa was born in 1879 at the small fishing village of Hallsands, Devon. Louisa's father was a fisherman. Hallsands has a very interesting and tragic history it sat on rock on the edge of the sea and in 1896 the Board of Trade gave a licence permitting dredging and carrying away of sand, gravel, shingle and other material from the bed of the sea at Start Bay and opposite Hallsands and Beesands, this material was to be used in the development of Keyham's dockyard at Devonport.
In 1901 the sea-walls at the southern end of the village were undermined. After severe storms over a period of 17+ years the village gradually disappeared into the sea and this is probably why Louisa travelled to London to work in service. The history of Hallsands can be found on the internet.
It would appear that in July 1901 Louisa became an assistant nurse with the Metropolitan Asylums Board (hospitals for the poor). Louisa was aged 22 and served at four different hospitals including a hospital ship and the Darenth Asylum School resigning in September 1908
They married at St James Clerkenwell, London on 15 March 1909 and moved to Ashwell where Harry lived until his death in 1924.
On their marriage certificate Louisa's address is 5 Gt Percy Street, London and Harry's is Ashwell
After Harry's death in 1924, his wife Louisa took over the running of the shop making it a Limited company in 1933.
In the early 1940's the shop and Parade House were leased by Louisa to Mr F Bowes of Kingsbury, London NW9, then to Anna (English) Day and Kit (English) Rooke.
In 1951 the shop and Parade House were leased to Mr S G Sackett. On Louisa's death, in 1957, her son John (Jack) Christy became the landlord finally selling the shop and Parade House to Mr Sackett in 1958 thus ending over 130 years of Christy ownership.

LDC's ADR software enables users to review method accuracy and precision data including field QC and calibra¬tion contained in electronic data deliverables (EDDs) and qualify that data according to project-specific criteria as defined in your Quality Assurance Project Plan (eQAPP). The qualified data can be exported to your database with the qualifier field appended. ADR also has a large variety of reports that summarize data quality outliers, detail the reason for the qualifier(s) and list all samples affected by the qualification. ADR makes an excellent front-end data checker for all environmental databases, allowing for 100% of data to be reviewed prior to uploading to your database.
The ADaPT software program was developed on the Microsoft ACCESS platform as a tool to support technical staff in the evaluation of analytical chemistry data using an expedited and cost effective automated process. The electronic data deliverables (EDD) provides a standardized format, allowing laboratories to streamline the data deliverable process. ADaPT processing allows the data end user to efficiently evaluate large data sets for key indicators and ultimately determine the usability of the data.
The application is designed to perform compliance screening of the EDD and routine data quality accuracy and precision checks traditionally performed through a manual data review. The EDD is checked for standard value errors, incorrect formatting, and missing information from required fields through the Contract Compliance Screening module (CCS). The CCS software verifies the EDD immediately for completeness and compliance against project specific criteria. The Automated Data Review module (ADR) performs an automated data review equivalent to an EPA Level 2 evaluation and provides the user with discrete data qualification. Data qualifiers are appended to each result in the EDD. After ADaPT processing, the qualified data are then ready to be exported into a database.

US elections: Irish communities linked to Trump and Biden show their colours ahead of vote
A mural of Democratic candidate Joe Biden in Ballina, County Mayo, Ireland. October 2020. - Copyright Euronews
As Americans wait with bated breath to find out the winner of this week's US elections, two Irish communities share their enthusiasm to learn the result.
Doonbeg and Ballina support incumbent Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger Joe Biden respectively, but for rather different reasons.
Residents in Doonbeg, County Clare are firmly in the Trump camp. The success of the Trump International Hotel situated in the village has generated so much revenue for the surrounding economy, he can do no wrong in their eyes.
"Local employment, remaining local access to the beach area, using local suppliers," are some of the reasons for the hotel's popularity among locals, Doonberg trader Rita McInerney told Euronews.
His sons have even stopped in at Tubridy's pub to pour pints in the past.
Doonbeg is also the ancestral home of Trump's deputy, Mike Pence, who once had a summer job in one of its pubs.
Locals here hope if Trump is elected his huge profile will help boost the local economy further.
Such is the love of Joe Biden's distant family for the Democrat in the town of Ballina, County Mayo that they recently painted a mural in his honour.
The former vice-president's family connections in Ireland run from the east coast's Cooley peninsula to Ballina in the west, where his great-great-great-grandfather emigrated to the US from in the 1840s.
Biden is adored in the town and his relatives, including Laurita Blewitt, are rooting for him to win.
"...he talks about always (having) been reared with Irish values. Ireland is very important to him and his family, and always has been," Blewitt said.
Having already met him when he visited Ireland in his role as vice president, they are hoping he will make good on a 2016 promise that he'll return to the town should he be elected.

It's Always Sunny in Seattle & Canada (At Least When We're There): Spring Break Day 1 | Kimberlee K.
Similar to our last trip to Seattle, this one started early. After waking up to a 3:50 a.m. alarm, my sister and I made our way through the doors at LAX by 5:15. Lucky for us, the Virgin America check-in desk was there to welcome us with the soothing alarmingly loud sounds of Beyoncé and Sean Paul. I tried to be mad, but I couldn't. In fact, I'm pretty sure I tapped my foot at one point, bringing incredible shame to my fellow non-morning people.
Once we boarded our plane, Natalee and I were excited to find a wide selection of movies and television shows available to enjoy during our three-hour flight. We were also excited to see the Virgin America safety video, which is known for its fun and outlandish choreography. Three hours later however, when I woke up with my mouth slightly open and a crick in my neck, I realized I'd missed everything, including takeoff, landing and snacks. I was both bummed and impressed.
After grabbing our luggage, Natalee and I took a seat to wait for our friend Mel who was flying in on a later plane from Utah. We made use of our time by playing the Washington lottery, where Natalee won $7 and I started our trip $5 in the hole. Once Mel landed, we picked up our first rental car and officially started our adventure.
As some of you may know, I have a weird fascination with the World's Largest Roadside Attractions, and one of my goals for this year was to see three. So after pulling up to a park in Georgetown and Vanna White-ing the hell out of this bad boy, I officially checked one off the list.
From there we made our way to Pike's Place Market, where we did our due diligence and pet the golden pig. We also aggressively hovered around the flying fish booth, munching on free samples of dried fruit as we waited for a headless halibut to go airborne.
We then did a few loops of the market, popping in here and there, smelling and tasting and touching all of the things. Some impulse important purchases here included apple chips (which are made of magic and dreams), ghost pepper garlic salt, and jalapeño raspberry jelly (both of which may or may not make you breathe fire).
For lunch we ate at Le Panier, a French café where we each ordered a macaroon and a sandwich on a baguette, and the only words we pronounced correctly were "water" and "yum." Afterwards, as we walked back through the market, we took note of all the blooming daffodils and the undeniably sunny weather—the latter of which we tried not to mention in fear of jinxing it.
Our next stop was the gum wall, which after seeing it I can now say is really more of a gum hallway. Once you turn the corner you are literally surrounded by half chewed pieces of gum in every color. Some are simply stuck to the wall while others are pulled and warped, trying their best to emulate art. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little grossed out, but that didn't stop me, or any of us, from immediately making our own fruity (and minty) contributions.
From there we made our way through the gum hall and down the hill to the boardwalk. We walked along the water and rode the Great Wheel, again marveling at the untraditionally dry weather we were being blessed with. Then, after making our way back up to our car, we officially wished Pike's goodbye and headed outside the city to stay with our ever generous Seattle hosts: the Beliel's.
We couldn't wait to see what tomorrow would bring.

Six in Vermillion with Green in Yellow
Six in Vermillion with Green in Yellow quantity
Patrick Heron
Signed and dated 1970
Ed. 38/100
Patrick Heron was an abstract painter, writer, and designer who made noteworthy contributions to the development of abstract art. His work was devoted to the analysis of natural forms and colors. From his Abstract works, particularly those made up of horizontal or vertical stripes, to his softer-edged shapes, he regularly uses color to express the pleasure of sight as one of the most important human senses.
Patrick Heron was born in 1920 in Headingley, Leeds, in Yorkshire, England. After living in Cornwall his family moved to Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire in 1929. In 1933, he began to paint under the influence of Paul Cézanne after visiting the National Gallery in London during a school trip. Five years later, working for Cresta Silks, Patrick Heron designed his first silkscreen. Then in 1937, he became a part-time student at the Slade School of Fine Art in London for two years. In 1940, he worked as an agricultural laborer in Cambridge and Welwyn Garden City for four years before becoming an assistant at Bernard Leach's Pottery in St. Ives in Cornwall, in 1944. In 1945, he moved to Holland Park after marrying Delia Reiss. He was art critic for the 'New English Weekly' for two years before having his first one-man exhibition at Redfern Gallery in London, in 1947. Patrick Heron's early work included many figurative studies such as 'The Gas Stove' (1946) but the painting 'The Boats and the Iron Ladder' (1947) showed the direction he was moving towards with its complex patterning and unusual use of colors. His early work was influenced by Georges Braque and Henri Matisse.
Patrick Heron first met the American Abstract Expressionists in London in 1956, during an exhibition at the Tate Gallery, and he soon started to paint in an abstract style, as seen in the paintings Square Leaves (1956) and Winter Harbour (1955).

The impatiens' leaves are turning grayish and are falling off or being eaten by some insect. What can I do?
This could be attributed to Botrytis blight, also know as gray mold, which is a fungal disease. Since it spreads easily, it's best to discard the entire plant. OR your plants may be affected by spider mites. White flecks or webbing on the underside of the leaves are good indications of spider mites. The leaves of impatiens will begin to look gray or bronze in color as more damage is done. A heavy infestation will cause leaves to die and drop off. You can use neem oil or insecticidal oil to kill spider mites.

Support for domestic abuse victims during lockdown
The rise of death bed marriages, and are they a good idea?
How will a second lockdown impact relationships
Equal civil partnerships law takes effect today
Marriage|Relationships | 2 Dec 2019 1
Another way: civil partnerships law extended to same-sex couples
Today scripts a momentous occasion extending the remit of Civil Partnerships law by virtue of the Civil Partnership, Marriages and Deaths (Registration) Act 2019 which now provides by virtue of Section 2 (1):
"To persons who are not of the same sex to form a civil partnership in England and Wales"
These regulations shall be in full effect no later than 31 December 2019 and as of today, 2 December 2019, those who previously held ceremonies in other jurisdictions that already provide them, such as South Africa, Netherlands, New Zealand and the Isle of Man, will have their unions automatically recognised.
Empowering people who do not want to marry
This new social institution empowers those individuals who sought not to extend their relationships by getting married, however, want to give their family stability and greater security within their relationship and protect their children's interests.
There are over 3 million opposite-sex couples who co-habit but choose not to marry for a variety of reasons. The children within these relationships are not afforded the security or legal protections that married couples, or civil partners of the same sex, enjoy.
These couples also fall short of having their financial rights protected by way of personal allowances for Income Tax and pension security in the event of a bereavement.
The legislation removes the unfairness, as all couples will have the same options for formalising their relationships and give long term, cohabiting, opposite-sex couples who do not want to marry, the opportunity to gain rights, protection and recognition, as a way of encouraging stable family relationships.
This would also mean that a civil partnership will no longer effectively be a declaration of sexual orientation and allow couples to remain in a civil partnership if one partner changes their legal gender.
The changes also mean that there will be a presumption of paternity so that a child born to a woman in a civil partnership with a man is a child of that man. The law has been extended so that where a child's mother and father were in a civil partnership at the time of the child's birth they shall each have Parental Responsibility for the child.
In practice, this will mean that in those situations where we have previously had to obtain the consent of the mother or make applications to the Court to acquire Parental Responsibility, these difficulties will be avoided if the parties have entered into a civil partnership. These are welcomed modifications and will give father's a greater level of protection in those sorts of situations.
Reflecting changing families
On a personal note, I see this as a remarkable step forward to recognise the way in which families are now changing and empowering individuals to make the personal and financial choices associated with how they view their relationship.
It will alleviate those people who find themselves in long-term relationships with minimal legal protection. It is an exciting time ahead and we are yet to see what the uptake of this legislation will mean for individuals and, indeed, whether it will mean that people will opt for this social institution as opposed to marriage.

Right, so all the options are available… Marriage, civil partnership, cohabit. No need to change the law for cohabitees, people can make their own choice given the options available.

Rest home workers strike: we can't afford to lose pay or staff
Posted on October 22, 2021 by E tū - Aged care
Union members at a Northland rest home, who are desperate to avoid potentially losing pay and staff with proposed cuts to their pay and other collective rights, went on strike for an hour on Thursday.
Claud Switzer Memorial Trust, which runs the only rest home in Kaitaia, has proposed scrapping special pay allowances for health care assistants and domestic staff working weekend shifts, along with other benefits, as part of a new collective agreement.
Workers are currently being paid an additional $5 per hour to work on a weekend, and the employer wants to reduce this to just $12 extra in total for any weekend shift.
Other proposed changes include reducing penalty rates for overtime work, qualification allowances, and removing job security with a force majeure clause.
In a poster issued by management, the trust claims the future for the home is grim if workers don't accept the new agreement – with around 20 residents needing to be moved and a 20% cut in staff due to lack of funds for a new building and upgrades.
E tū delegates say workers are struggling financially already without pay cuts and worry about the future.
"Our members are getting stressed out – they're very unhappy," says one.
"The weekend incentive rate management is trying to take away was the reason everyone was coming to work at that time – it was already a struggle to fill the weekend."
Short staffing is already a huge issue in the aged care sector, and finding staff presents even more of a challenge during the Covid crisis, delegates say.
"We're anticipating some change already with mandatory vaccinations coming in and having to take precautions – like wearing masks at work all day with summer coming – makes work more difficult for everyone."
Delegates emphasise that the one-hour strike is a last resort to get management to listen.
"We all love our jobs – the hardest thing for us to do is to walk out. We're walking out on human beings, not toilets and floors. It's very disheartening for us."
E tū organiser Annie Tothill says members have been bargaining since May and in mediation since August, in an effort to secure a fair collective agreement.
She estimates that without the weekend allowances, those workers working weekends as part of their 40 hour-week may miss out on up to $3,000 extra per year.
"There are quite a few workers who incorporate a Saturday or Sunday shift into their weeks – and some people only work weekends because of childcare responsibilities."
The current $5 per hour is a reward for working unsociable hours, she says.
"The employer has said it can't afford to pay workers the allowance and claims it pays more than other rest homes in the area," Annie says.
"However, they won't tell us which rest homes they're referring to. From our own research across New Zealand rest homes, it would appear $5 per hour is average for workers who are working weekends as part of their normal 40-hour week."
Annie says the employer is also trying to justify its position, claiming it needs the funds for building work and upgrades – or workers face losing residents and colleagues.
"Workers at Claud Switzer deserve to be fairly compensated for the work they do and to see their hard-won working rights upheld as they care for the most vulnerable in our communities."

[W]hy force so many people into the absentee system? Why bet on the provisional ballot system? Why do all of this in one election cycle, when in Georgia, voter ID was phased in over two years, with four times as many locations for obtaining the right cards?
The reason, said Cawley, was the specter of voter fraud. The day before he had made this argument to Prof. Lorraine Minnite, author of The Myth of Voter Fraud. He informed her that Heritage Foundation Fellow Hans von Spakovsky worried about fraud; she said von Spakovsky's work was unscholarly claptrap. He wondered how widespread fraud was; she showed a chart that indicated that there were 183,344 fraud charges of any kind in fiscal year 2006. Of those, only 60 of them were charges of voter fraud.
Cawley dealt with this by dismissing it. He repeated von Spakovky's arguments and pointed out that another expert witness, Prof. Matthew Baretto, worked with the anti-voter-ID Brennan Center and the Hispanic turnout group Latino Decisions. How to explain the low voter fraud numbers? Perhaps voter fraud didn't make it to the top of prosecutors' to-do lists.
Perhaps that's because there is no there there in the first place.
The Supreme Court found that provisional ballots could take care of voters who lacked ID. But a Pennsylvanian who voted that way would have only six days to get a valid ID and prove his identity. In Crawford, Stevens found that "the elderly in Indiana are able to vote absentee without presenting photo identification." In Pennsylvania, though, voters have to offer some proof that they've earned absentee ballots—for example, that sickness or travel prevents them from voting that day.

GALACTIC CIVILIZATIONS Will We Ever Be Part of One?
Each galaxy in the universe probably only has room for one (1) Type III Civilization, because, after all by definition a Type III civilization uses ALL of the resources and energy of its host galaxy.
Thus, if any two civilizations were to attempt to arise to Type III status in a given galaxy, they would be natural competitors for only one of them will be able to command "all" of the resources of the galaxy. If this is true, we could expect that two Type II civilizations competing to be a Type III civilization would probably mean unimaginable conflict until one or both civilizations are destroyed.
Since the Universe may "want" to avoid such destruction -- especially if the infrastructure of the galaxy itself were also put at risk -- it may not permit multiple civilizations to get anywhere near Type III. Thus, this may be the reason for why we do not see anyone out there even though the galaxy is heavily populated with stars -- the Fermi Paradox.
These things said, we may nevertheless have multiple, small young civilizations here and there, or coming and going over time, all the time. None of us can talk to each other because we never get sophisticated enough to do so, or, more probably, we usually don't exist at the same time.
So what must happen is eventually the conditions are just right and one of these civilizations "suddenly" goes from flight to AI (post-Singularian) in a mere blink of time (200 years) and this civilization then explodes into the one Type III that will capture and dominate its host galaxy. Since the explosion from pre-Type I to Type III is probably very quick, the mathematical chances two or more will explode at exactly the same time (i.e. , in the 200 year range) is very slim. Thus we rarely see 2 or more civilizations advancing to Type III competing with each other. As I stated before, were this to happen, large Type II civilizations (civilizations controlling many star systems all over the galaxy) would probably compete with each other but then destroy the last competitor when it got down to just two. At this point the last two competitors may not only destroy each other, but the entire host galaxy. If this is the inevitable scenario of a bi-polar system, I would think nature's God would want to avoid it. Thus maybe we see nothing but quiet throughout the galaxy until suddenly a civilization with all the right conditions explodes onto the scene as a full Type III, fully in command of its galaxy. No competition from others at any time.
To the degree the duration of technological civilizations is short (relative to the duration of the host galaxy) AND the galaxy is large, the chances that two or more civilizations will exist simultaneously moves towards zero. This is thus the most likely explanation for the Fermi Paradox: that only one or zero civilizations exist simultaneously in any given galaxy. So, in essence, every civilization that emerges gets its shot up at bat one at a time. We may be THE civilization approaching our shot at bat at this time. If so between now and the time our Singularity is possible, we must engineer all conditions carefully and correctly otherwise we will fail to go Type I, Type II and then Type III. No one knows if this precession happens quickly or slowly, but if it happens slowly, there are probably opportunities for new civilizations to emerge and compete. Under such a scenario we might get the galaxy being populated with longer-duration Type I and Type II civilizations, for a Type II civilization probably has a greater duration than a Type I and a Type III civilization probably has a longer duration than a Type II. At this point -- the point of multiple Type IIs all over the galaxy -- the Fermi Paradox might go away as all, or most of the civilizations, would be able to detect and/or communicate with each other. This could then lead to an era of benevolent cooperation or an era of hostile competition. If the later, it could end up being a galactic arms race like no other. If the former, it could end up in a vast galactic federation of immense value and prosperity.
Given these politics, there is no reason to assume that any politics that would carry on at the galactic level would be any different from the politics we now experience here on earth. "Thy will be done on Earth as is done in Heaven" takes on new meaning when this possibility is considered. And this is a profound reality if it's true, for it means the universe may have been designed as a "training ground" at every level -- even this humble earthly level. It means that indeed we may be here being "tested" and/or even "trained" on a cosmic scale. Thus, if we cannot resolve our political challenges here on earth, we will never be able to resolve the challenges on a galactic stage. If we DO resolve our political challenges here -- and by implication our economic and social challenges -- we may end up being in the running one day as a full Type I and Type II civilization -- on our way to the one Type III civilization that wins the galaxy.
So maybe what we all do here and now DOES matter.

Internet Agent Etiquette
David Wallace Croft
Senior Intelligent Systems Engineer
Special Projects Division, Information Technology
Analytic Services, Inc. (ANSER)
croftd@nexos.anser.org
Agent Abuses
The evolution of Internet Agents, bred by commercial interests to produce the quick and the thorough, must be tempered by the necessity to respect the boundaries of the environment.
The future belongs to neither the conduit nor content players, but those who control the filtering, searching, and sense-making tools we will rely on to navigate through the expanses of cyberspace. Without a doubt, the agent arena will become a technological battleground, as algorithms rather than content duel for market dominance.
Paul Saffo, 1994, Wired
The increasing stresses on the Web's infrastructure caused by both human and robot overuse deepened the growing split between robot authors and webmasters. But that wasn't the only force at work in an increasingly dire situation. Big business had arrived on the Net. The speediest robot ensured the best search engine -- so why worry about overloading Web servers all over the Net? Entrepreneurs had come out of the closet like roaches after dark. The flimsy fabric of the Robot Exclusion Protocol offered little protection.
Andrew Leonard, 1997, Bots: The Origin of New Species
Robots Exclusion Protocol
The Robots Exclusion Protocol is the de facto standard for web spider etiquette since 1994.
A file called robots.txt within the top-level directory of any web server provides fair notice to any Internet software agent as to what is off-limits.
The format of the file details restrictions by agent name and by resource path.
Disallow: /
The Protocol is a strictly self-enforced prohibition to which all reputable agent developers voluntarily comply.
Rapid-Fire Requests
An artificial web crawler can request so many resources simultaneously or in such rapid succession that the targeted web server becomes overloaded.
Rapid-fire requests can constitute a denial-of-service attack by overwhelming the server. During the attack, other clients, such as human customers, are denied access to the web server due to the sudden drop in responsiveness.
Internet agent developers can avoid incurring the wrath of webmasters by inserting a forced delay between the requests generated by their super-surfing automatons.
Blackholes and Other Pitfalls
The designs of some early web crawlers were so poor that they would occasionally consume excessive resources by trapping themselves in an infinite loop, requesting the same resources from an overloaded server again and again until mercifully terminated.
One mistake is the failure to record which pages have already been visited. By simply blindly following all hyperlinks, an agent may end up running in circles perpetually.
Another problem is blackholes. These are web pages that are dynamically generated with hyperlinks to more web pages that are also created on the fly. Each web page apparently leads to an apparently novel web page without end. If you can imagine opening a door to find another door and then opening that one to find the same, you get the picture.
By researching the literature of pioneering web robot developers and by staying in touch with resources such as the WWW Robots Mailing List, agent developers can avoid repeating costly mistakes.
User Accountability
Web crawler technology has become so widespread that it is now possible for end-users with little to no domain knowledge to target software agents at Internet resources. Without realizing the consequences of their actions, users can command via a graphical interface the repetitive and wasteful consumption of resources by software agents. The key to the prevention of such potentially harmful abuses is accountability.
First, users must be identified, validated, and authorized before they can access the software agents. By removing the anonymity granted to users of agents available to the general public, willful abuses can by terminated. Additionally, the operators can be made to understand that the behavior of the agents, while under their control or even simply by virtue of ownership, reflects upon themselves.
Second, users must be made to bear the true costs of the resources that they consume. By implementing an accounting system to track the expenditure of bandwidth and other computational resources, agent behaviors will quickly become far more efficient, intelligent, and directed as their human masters seek to minimize those costs as translated into real dollars.
Ethics of Efficiency
While end-users can be made to bear much of the burden of minimizing costs by the informed selection of their agent employment tactics, the agent developers have an ethical obligation to optimize the performance of their bot implementations so as to minimize the long-term impact upon the Internet. Note that this is often, but not necessarily, exactly the reverse of optimizing performance to maximize results. By checking the server robot access policy and possibly being denied, by inserting artificial delays between server requests, by diligently researching, tracking, and testing new bot implementations before releasing them onto the Internet, by inserting the logic to prevent unauthorized misuse, and by adding to the costs of transactions by imposing an additional layer of accounting, developers simultaneously minimize both the potential for agent abuse and, unfortunately, agent effectiveness.
The trick, then, is to implement intelligent mechanisms that maximize effectiveness while minimizing friction. This equates to the old adage of working smarter rather than harder. Too often, however, the additional step of inserting elegant performance enhancements is not taken once the brute-force prototype implementation is completed. The consequence of this is that, as time marches on and web spiders crawl along, the cumulative sum of the costs of the inefficiences explodes as usage increases exponentially. Thus it becomes a moral imperative for the developer, who will often know of but not bear the cost of sub-optimal design, to adapt the initial implementation as soon as possible by inserting both common and creative smart technologies. For consideration, examples of such are listed below.

Back Rionach at 14/1 to Win the BMW Mile with Paddy Power.
Next week's Galway Festival is often the highlight of the summer season meeting wise in Ireland and is a major horse racing betting event. With a combination of handicaps, including the two feature races of the week over jumps the Galway Plate and Galway Hurdle mixed in among useful maidens, novice and beginners contests on the Flat and over jumps the 2018 version promises to be a hotly contested meeting.
Dermot Weld has traditionally dominated this fixture but his focus in recent times has very much been on the Flat and he should again saddle multiple winners from his powerful yard if all goes to plan.
Tuesday's BMW Mile is one of the Flat highlights of the week and in Rionach (14/1 at Paddy Power) up and coming trainer Michael O'Callaghan looks to hold strong claims of registering a success in the valuable handicap.
Rionach is unbeaten in two starts on turf this season and appeared to relish the step up to this one mile trip when winning on good ground at Killarney last time out. The selection remains unexposed and open to improvement and with that in mind he looks to hold strong claims of making a winning handicap debut in Tuesday's feature.
High class individuals have dominated Wednesday's Galway Plate race in recent years with subsequent multiple Grade 1 winner Carlingford Lough taking the 2013 renewal and fellow Grade 1 winner Road To Riches following up twelve months later.
While the 2015 and 2016 winners hadn't won at the highest level prior to the big race, nor subsequently, both had useful form in Graded company. Last year's winner Balko Des Flos went on to record his first victory at the top level by taking the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham last March.
Trainer Henry De Bromhead has won this twice in the last three years and may be the man to supply the 2018 winner given his stable are in flying form with a 26% strike-rate (8/31) at the time of writing.
His main contender this time around would appear to be the six-year-old Calino D'Airy (16/1 at Coral), a relatively inexperienced individual having had just nine career starts with five coming over fences. The son of Anzillero has won two of those five starts however, with both victories coming over 2m2f here last October.
The selection put a couple of indifferent performances behind him when finishing third in a Grade 1 novice contest over 2m4f at Aintree in April and he may well have finished closer to the winner Finian's Oscar but for hitting the final fence.
Owners Gigginstown House Stud look likely to have a strong hand going into the contest as has been the case in many big handicap chases in Ireland in recent seasons and in Canzillero D'Airy they have a young, improving individual.
Davids Charm (16/1 at Bet365) looks to be a leading contender for Thursday's Galway Hurdle. The selection has shown a liking for this venue when winning a 2m5f handicap hurdle at this meeting last year when wearing a hood for the first time. The large field appeared to suit on that occasion as it did when winning over 2m4f at Listowel two months earlier.
Interestingly both of those victories came in first time headgear with cheekpieces worn at Listowel and a hood for his victory at this venue. The hood was again in place when the selection was victorious on soft ground dropping back to 2m at Fairyhouse in December and while he hasn't been seen over hurdles since he has had a couple of outings in maiden company on the Flat in preparation for this contest.
The most recent of those efforts came when finishing third in a 1m7f contest held on good-to-firm going at Leopardstown earlier this month. Notably the hood was left off for that Leopardstown effort and it will be interesting to see if that or the cheekpieces absent since the Listowel victory return.
The ground will be less of a factor to him than most of his rivals and with leading jockey Rachael Blackmore expected to take the ride as she has done for the seven-year-old's two most recent appearances he looks set to play a leading role.
The presence of a couple of British raiders in the race adds an extra dimension to it and the money in recent days has been for Leoncavallo who made a winning debut for trainer Dr Richard Newland when victorious on good ground at Ludlow in May. Similar conditions look likely here bettors should bear him in mind as a part of their strategy.


I recently started selling games and other things on Amazon. I am hoping to make this a profitable side business to my current full time job of web development. So far things are doing quite well. I am about 3 weeks in and have made about $200 after an initial $200 investment in inventory. So not bad at all.
I plan to use this site to highlight inventory items that I think would make a good buy, not just for me but also for you. You are the reason I started selling. I have a number of games that I enjoyed over the years that I am now parting with and have found a number of games that I want to bring to the public. I can't guarantee that I have played all these games, but I will be honest when I talk about them.
One thing I do want to share is that you cannot underestimate the value of shopping at garage sales and on Craigslist. Most of my current inventory has come from those two sources. In fact, all the Final Fantasy games (except the SNES Final Fantasy 3) and all the Halo ODST/Forza 3 combos came from garage sales. I have also found some good deals on Craigslist, although those seem to be far in between.
Hopefully, I will see my inventory grow and there will be more games for everyone to find.


University open days are essential for students to see not only the university and their course offerings but also the location. They can be quite variable. Bristol have got it absolutely right.
Registration was simple and quick online and all confirmation details followed by post .
All the plethora of events were clearly signposted and hundreds of students were there to direct and answer questions.
Bristol is a city centre campus and a number of the roads were helpfully closed off to allow easy walking access between venues. Food stands serving good food but at parents prices not student prices were all around. That might be a little unfair as £5-7 would get you a nice food item.
Seemingly all the presentations were good and mostly 30-40 minutes with separate stalls set up where students gave out literature on their courses . The university was busy but not overcrowded so seem to have got their numbers right. Security personnel were in attendance giving a safe feel rather than a persecuted one.
Some of the sports clubs were showing their wares with basketball and badminton clubs having areas where students were playing.
Lastly a shoutout to Murray's a cafe in the city centre . A good place for folks to feed and water. Orange Polenta cake can be recommended.
Overall impression of Bristol university was excellent .

We never intended to stand up a call center in response to Hurricane Harvey. We simply did a quick welfare check on our members by texting 3,500 local members in Houston. In 3 hours we had identified 70 homes needing to be "mucked out" and 270 potential volunteers.
Waters were still rising, so we used our system to geo-target homes in need and coordinate volunteers very close by to assist. We spent days checking on folks that were pushed out of their homes, until they could get back into them and begin the recovery process.
All of this was unexpected, but a great example of activating our community as leaders and resources in a time of need for our members and the community at large.

Quotes of Famous Freemasons and Occultists
Freemasonry, as a tradition, is built on the spoken word. It is a mystic tradition that has been passed down from lip to hear across the centuries. It acknowledges the power of language to transform the mind of the individual and even the course of history itself. Throughout history, great changes in civilizations and the rise and fall of empires have depended on a few words, spoken into the right ear at the right time. Freemasonry places great importance on remembering the thoughts of our ancestors. It is from these thoughts that we can learn how to navigate the maze of life and avoid the pitfalls that have entrapped the unfortunate. The Masons below have all contributed to the wisdom of the world and we have selected a small portion of their knowledge to be shared here to inspire, uplift and educate.
