I come from the North West of England, from Wigan Borough to be precise. I went to Brighton to study Critical Fine Art Practice and graduated in 2007. I am now living in Manchester. Alongside my art practice I organize North by North Western Arts Festival with a number of other creatives in Wigan.
I began making film at university in 2005. Adding time and movement, within a controlled frame created a more rounded manifestation of the ideas I was attempting to illustrate.
My films are generally concerned with creating an experience. I am interested in the ideas surrounding medieval carnival and transgression, so my films draw upon distorted imagery to create new spaces for the mind to transgress. Carnality and the visceral are key ingredients in my works, and they are meant to evoke an ultimately more physical than intellectual response from the viewer.
My films are often completed in my head before I even pick up a camera. They are sparked through reading, dreams and from waking mind wanders. Most of the films I have made are with one set, or have a complete lack of set and are based on one activity or image. Colour is very important to me. I have plans for other films that take my ideas into more complicated scenarios but these are completely reliant on funding that i do not have as of yet.
I don't use anything particularly special, just final cut pro and a sony handy cam really.
I don't fully understand what this question is asking but i will attempt to answer!
Though in the grand scheme of time film/video is a comparatively new media, newer technologies are developing and filtering into art at such a rate that film feels as fresh to me as painting. Art film is a thoroughly established genre and the amount of artists using it will continue to grow. With this in mind the genre itself is almost no longer a subject, though as a medium it can still be played with, the most important thing for the artist using film is just to make good work.
So far my films have cost very little indeed so I can finance them myself, the most expensive was probably about 10 pounds!
I often have to use other people in my films, be it to hold the camera, or for a skill i do not have such as animation or sound design. I know what i want but often have to work with others to make it happen. I find this is generally an enjoyable experience as i have talented, open minded friends who are a pleasure to work with to realize my visions.
16th and 17th century Dutch paintings; Hieronymus Bosch; Svankmeyer; Sarah Lucas: Traditional Carnival imagery: Georges Bataille.
I want to make my more ambitious 4 part works that i have been planning, and to show in galleries where i can make film installations.
Some of my films can be seen on youtube, my channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/AnnaFCSmith, though i have had one taken off for indecency!

James Franco Settles 'Disaster Artist' Suit From Ex-Student
Gene Maddaus
James Franco has settled a lawsuit filed last year by a former student who said he wrote several early drafts of "The Disaster Artist."
Ryan Moody filed suit in March, alleging that he was swindled into giving up the rights to his work for just $5,000. Moody sued Franco's company, Rabbit Bandini Productions, and Seth Rogen's company, Point Grey Pictures, which produced the film.

James Franco in Talks to Direct ESPN Movie 'Those Guys Have All the Fun'
"The lawsuit has been resolved," Moody's attorney, Brian Grossman, told Variety on Monday. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
Moody met Franco as a student in his UCLA film class. According to the suit, Franco asked him in 2013 to adapt the book about the making of the cult film "The Room." Moody alleged that he worked full-time on the project for four months, ultimately delivering five drafts of the screenplay.
Moody said that Point Grey wanted to replace him with more experienced writers, so he reluctantly agreed to sign away his right to his work. Moody alleged that Franco and his partners promised to develop another project, "On the Bus," which never got off the ground. He also alleged that he was told if he did not cooperate, then he would never work with Franco and Rogen again.
He said he was promised an associate producer credit, and only learned when the film was released that he did not get any credit.
The defendants' attorneys argued that Moody was simply seeking to undo a valid agreement, and that he was not misled into signing the contract. They sought to dismiss the suit under the California anti-SLAPP statute.
Moody's attorney filed a motion to dismiss the case on Jan. 8.

Q: Create Hold + Tap behavior for d3 v5 using a touchpad THE BACKGROUND
I am creating an experiment for university to compare different dragging techniques. For this, I am using d3 and I need to use different devices, one of them being a touchpad.
MY RESEARCH SO FAR
Now one technique requires double tap + hold behavior on a touchpad. I found this example made with d3 v3. This is almost the behavior I want to achieve (just with different visual feedback).
THE PROBLEM
I am using d3 v5 and I know that I needed to add the d3.rebind() function manually from the d3 v3 version, which I did. However, I still have issues. I am getting the following error when trying to create an event on the black circle (EDIT HERE based on answer of rioV8):
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined

Because I can not figure out what the whole code from the provided example is doing I have problems to find a solution by myself. It would be great if someone could give me some hints.
For now I just would like to achieve the console.log() statements for each of the events tap, touch, release
MY CODE
Here is a link to my bl.ocks.org version of my code.
Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8">

A: If you selection.call(func) the d3 selection is the first argument of the function.
  function mtouch(select) {
    select.on("touchstart.mtouch", touchstarted)
        .on("mousedown.mtouch", mousedown)
        .on("touchmove.mtouch", touchmoved)
        .on("touchend.mtouch", touchended)

Causes And Significance Of The Battle Of Hastings
The protect wall would half in spots, simply enough for English axemen to step out and have interaction the knights. Swinging English axes came down with pressure, biting deeply with a sickening thud into legs, thighs, chests— no matter part of the body was uncovered. The axemen knew their enterprise, and Norman arms have been lopped off at a single stoke in a twig of crimson.
William centered his scorched earth attacks on lands that had been owned by King Harold. The battle of Hastings was an important battle in English historical past. It resulted in a new king and drastic modifications to the country as a complete.
A notably savage battle developed across the position held by the now https://academyofclassicallanguages.com/greek-and-latin-for-SAT-ACT-GRE/ severely wounded Harold and his royal housecarles. Finally the Saxon King was killed, followed by his brothers, Earl Gurth and Earl Leofwin, and the remaining housecarles. Harold issued orders as compelling as he could make them that, when throughout the battle, his military was not to transfer from this position, regardless of the provocation.
The favorite sword stroke of the Norman knight was the downward cutting blow delivered to the highest of the pinnacle. Well aimed, it may cut through each helm, mail coif, and skull. The hero Roland is even described as killing rider and horse with one blow, cleaving via the head, trunk, saddle, and horse, and, although clearly exaggerated, it may not be so far from the truth.
The bowmen made little impression on the English line, so William despatched his mailed infantry forward to see what they may do. The infantry superior at a brisk pace, the battle cry of "God's Help! But earlier than they could shut with the defend wall, the English unleashed a barrage of missiles that stalled the Normans of their tracks.
However, later historians have commented on the difficulty of such an advanced maneuver. Whatever occurred, it is virtually certain that because the English protect wall grew smaller and smaller, lots of the fyrdmen within the back ranks clustered nearer together behind the thinning wall of housecarls. A well-known battle in English history at which William the Conqueror defeated King Harold II and became King of England. eight.However, Harald of Norway additionally claimed the crown of Harold and he was quickler than William. Harald and his army reached the coast of England but they were defeated by the Harold's military within the battle of Stamford Bridge on the twenty fifth of September. 5.William of Normandy is furious News of Edward's demise and Harold's coronation is carried throughout the channel to William, Duke of Normandy.
It was regarded as unfinished as a result of the linen was not lined with embroidery. However, its exhibition within the Louvre in 1797 introduced on a sensation, with Le Moniteur, which usually handled abroad affairs, reporting on it on its first two pages. It was as a end result of the tapestry was considered an antiquity quite than a murals that in 1804 it was returned to Bayeux, whereby 1823 one commentator, A. L. Léchaudé d'Anisy, reported that "there is a type of purity in its primitive varieties, especially contemplating the state of the humanities in the eleventh century".
Here and there a wounded soldier probably tried to crawl to safety if he could, however the state of medieval medicine was such that many wounds were invariably deadly. Some historians speculate—and that's all it could be, speculation—that Harold's military was just too big to be successfully commanded on foot. Harold was on foot at his command post and possibly out of contact with what was going on within the flanks.
Once their fastidiously organised formation was broken, the English were vulnerable to cavalry assault. King Harold was struck in the eye by an opportunity Norman arrow and was killed, however the battle raged on until all of Harold's loyal bodyguard have been slain. The next day, October 14, William led his forces out to battle before Harold's troops had an opportunity to prepare. The Battle of Hastings started at daybreak on October 14, 1066, when William's military moved toward Harold's army, which was occupying a ridge 10 miles northwest of Hastings. As the day progressed, the protection was worn down and slowly outnumbered.

Old Gaol project in Abingdon
Environmentally Sustainable Housing – Old Gaol, Abingdon
At the start of 2015 the Company held preliminary discussions with a client who wanted to redevelop the Old Gaol in Abingdon into two 2-bedroom and eight 1-bedroom sustainable apartments. They wanted to build the most prestigious looking, environmentally friendly apartments that they could within their budget without losing the history of the oldest Napoleonic Gaol in the country. This would involve stripping out and making safe the existing building prior to designing energy efficient systems for heating, lighting and other electrical components. Bojen realised that this project would be an ideal way to further develop their understanding of environmentally sustainable housing. It was intended that they would use this project as a test bed for further developments into the disruptive technologies necessary to move the UK away from an increasingly inefficient centralised utility business model.
The Company's primary objectives were to deliver ten environmentally friendly, energy efficient apartments on a budget and under a challenging time scale, along with coordinating and designing electrical and mechanical systems in line with all the other trades on site. In order to maximise energy efficiency, the apartments needed to have heat recovery systems, period external LED lighting and internal LED lighting and controls.
Detailed meetings were held in March and April 2015, with active work commencing late May. The project was completed in April 2016, although the Company continue to monitor system efficiency, making adjustments where possible to further fine tune operating parameters.
Advance(s) Sought:
To design and build the most environmentally friendly properties possible within a limited budget, whilst ensuring the build was in-keeping with the local area and entirely sustainable, thus providing tenants with efficient, comfortable, modern properties to live in without incorporating large energy bills.
Bojen needed to undertake value engineering on the cost of the different heating and lighting systems to ensure it fell within the client's budget.
Design and development of heating, hot water and lighting systems to find the most energy efficient and environmentally sustainable outcome. During this process the Company determined that part of the solution should include air-source heating incorporating Eco-cent hot water cylinders combined with heat recovery.
Primarily, the challenge lay in determining how adaptable Bojen's analysis, design and build processes could become. If efficiencies can be made throughout the entire procedure, then overall costs can be reduced, thus making these new technologies more affordable to a far wider range of clients. Using different build projects as test beds allows the Company to find solutions that can be utilised in other situations.
Due to variations between these various design and build projects, development of different "disruptive" technologies is often necessary at each site. In the case of the Old Gaol, use of air-source heating is more appropriate than, say, ground-source heating, or solar panels. That said, use of air-source heating posed a further challenge, given that the Old Gaol is a Grade II listed building. No fundamental changes could be made to the fabric of the building, so determining appropriate – and efficient sites for intake and outlet ports was an issue.
Overall, it is how the disparate systems can be developed and utilised to produce the most efficient solution that underpins all of the R&D undertaken in the wider 'environmentally sustainable housing' project.
Resolution of Challenges, Project Outcomes and Future
Bojen worked through numerous configurations, developing systems as they went, to arrive at the most efficient set up for the available budget. The fact that this project was running alongside a similar project meant that the Bojen team could draw comparisons, thus aiding with development on both projects.
Development of the air-source heating was troublesome in places, due to the difficulties in finding suitable sites for intake and outlet ports – not least because of the restrictions of working on a Grade II listed building. This resulted in the need for significant amounts of ducting, which had to be incorporated in such a way as to not impact on the interior spaces of the apartments. Additionally, various ducting materials were tested for their thermal efficiency, with the best (within budget) option used. Bojen have identified this area for further development, so that future work on listed buildings can be undertaken at reduced cost. As such, they are actively seeking other clients who wish to develop listed buildings.
Overall, the project to develop ten new, energy efficient apartments was a success. The apartments, indeed the whole building, is environmentally sustainable and all work was completed on budget. Sales have been generated off the back of this project, as Bojen market their successes to a wider audience.
Key Staff Involved:
Wayne Bound – Designer and project manager
Craig Jennings – Co-designer, quality control and technical advisor
Nikki Bound – Client liaison and financial controller
Lee Harris – On-site foreman
Grant Quick – Electrician
Owen Sharp – Apprentice electrician
Scott MacArthur – Apprentice electrician
Three subcontracted specialist electricians (A Cousin, A Stone, M Mitchell) were used on this project.
The Company had to create a control box to house all the hot water contactors and control equipment that would fit into a limited space and still allow for safe installation; as well as accessibility for subsequent inspection, maintenance and 'end-of-life' replacement.
The prototype was initially used for demonstration purposes, but then became 'first of class' when it was installed (along with nine further control boxes) to complete installation in the ten apartments.
"Thanks to all Bojen Staff who worked on recent Bio Centre project for the excellent standard of work. We found Shaun very helpful and a great communicator with a very pleasant manner, always ensuring all variations were discussed with me first and service disruption kept to a minimum. The site was also left very clean and tidy. I hope to be able to work with Bojen again in the future."
Mr T Davies | UK Bio Centre
"We were delighted with the entire process from beginning to end! The team listened to our requirements, made excellent suggestions and we felt cared for and valued as customers throughout the process."
Graham Carson | Inca – Caring Accounting
"Just wanted to convey to you and your team that I was very impressed with the quality of your installation. The project was completed on time to a high standard with very few defects, which is a credit to your team."

There are many views about how people develop. One approach is to help a person to channel their character in a constructive way rather than change their character. Let's explore how this works in action.
During the early 1970s I took over a therapeutic community for young people. Toni was a 16-year-old who was seen as a leader by the residents. She had grown up in institutions, but wanted to avoid going to prison in the future.
Young people often follow the leader they admire in a group, so I wanted to enlist Toni as an aide. Bearing this in mind, I gave her the following messages.
You are a strong person who has overcome lots in your life. You are very bright, honest and are seen as a leader by others in the community.
As you know, you have a choice regarding which route you take in the future. You can be positive, stay healthy and help other people. Or you can end up in prison.
As far as I know, you want to stay healthy and live a happy life. That is something we want to help others to do here in the community.
I would like your help in making this happen. I would like to give you more responsibility in helping to run the community.
As you know, people here see you as a model. If you act in a positive and responsible way, then others are more likely to take that route.
It is, of course, up to you. But taking this route would, I believe, help you and other people. Let me know if this is something you would like to do, then we can go into the details.
Toni said she was prepared to take more responsibility. Together with several other young leaders, she took over running more of the day-to-day activities in the community.
Sue was another young leader. Many years later she described how she and others intervened to maintain the community guidelines. She wrote the following piece.
Looking back at my time in the community, I am so happy that I was given the opportunity to meet people who taught me it was okay to talk about things.
So much pain was bottled up inside me from the years spent in care and the abuse that I and my sisters suffered. I was one of the lucky ones. I found a way to confront my demons, talk about them and they stopped hurting.
About 10 years ago my sisters and I were contacted by the police about the abuse we experienced in children's homes. The police came to my house and met with me and my sisters and asked if we were victims of abuse.
Sometimes we had fantastic talks. There would be 8 of us sitting in a bedroom till midnight, just sharing thoughts we had never discussed with anybody before.
Every young person in the community had suffered problems. We encouraged each other to talk about the past, but didn't allow each other to use it as an excuse for behaving badly.
Toni and Sue channelled their personalities. They used their character traits – such as having fighting spirit – to help others rather than hurt others.
Looking back on your life, can you recall a time when you channelled your character in a constructive way? This may have been in your personal or professional life.
Describe a specific situation in the past when you channelled your character in a constructive way.
Describe the specific things you did to channel your character in a constructive way.
Max was an adrenalin-driven sales person I worked with many years ago. He loved the thrill of travelling, making sales pitches and winning business. Addicted to exercise, he always seemed to be training for the next triathlon.
He got restless when in the office. This showed itself in meetings, when he sometimes got angry. Max was addicted to excitement. If he couldn't get it in a positive way, then he got it in a negative way by starting arguments.
Max's company got sold and I stopped working with him. Two years later I got a phone call from the leader of the UK arm of a US based company.
They were considering hiring Max to lead their sales team. What did I think? The messages I gave were along the following lines.
Max is a superb sales person. He is driven, will always deliver the numbers and can give inspiring speeches to employees. He can get impatient at times and this can cause difficulties, but there are solutions to this challenge.
He will be an asset to your organisation, providing you set up things to play to his strengths. Here are some suggestions you may wish to consider.
Max enjoys striving to achieve goals. So agree with him on a stimulating and stretching sales target. Put him on a plane and make sure he spends most of his time with customers.
At the same time, make sure he gets enough time to rejuvenate himself. He will probably do this by training for marathons.
Max needs to play to his strengths. He can build on where he delivers As, whilst finding ways to compensate for his Bs and Cs.
As the work of Tom Rath and others tells us, great leaders are not well-rounded, but great leadership teams are well-rounded. Max can be helped to achieve peak performance by taking the following steps.
Meet Max and agree with him on the specific results he must deliver to the company. This can be put in terms of profitability, product quality – such as customer satisfaction – and people morale in his team.
Explain the professional standards that will be required – the Dos and Don'ts – to deliver the picture of success. Explain the reasons for these standards.
You may, for example, require people to show professional respect to others, even if they disagree. People will be expected to behave in a constructive way and find positive solutions rather than get angry.
Invite Max to decide if he wants to follow these professional standards.
Max can be encouraged to sell and also act as a standard bearer for the sales team. At the same time, however, he may need help in other areas.
Many visionary leaders work best when they have a good co-ordinator. They need somebody who can translate their ideas into action and make things happen.
Max is such a leader. He will inspire the other sales people, but he needs somebody who can run the department for him. He will still be accountable, but the co-ordinator will make sure that things work properly.
Max is superb with clients. Whilst he is energetic and enthusiastic with them, he sometimes moves into the role of being their trusted advisor.
He then listens to the client, clarifies their business goals and describes the possible strategies for moving forward. Max becomes calmer. It is as if he does not have to prove himself any more. He slows down, outlines the options and, when appropriate, makes recommendations.
Max can learn how to transfer these trusted advisor principles to his behaviour inside the company, especially in board meetings. He can learn how to treat his bosses as if they are external clients.
Looking at a specific challenge facing the company, for example, he can share his views on the possible strategic ways forwards. He sometimes takes this approach with clients, so he can do it internally.
Max needs to see that his internal clients are as important as his external clients. He may need help in channelling his personality in this way, but he already has the skills.
The company hired Max. Three years later he was promoted to a role in the US. One year after that he became the worldwide VP for sales.
During those years Max learned how to build on what he did best, but also build a good leadership team around him. His first act when going to the US was to get a great co-ordinator.
Max still has an enormous drive to burst his sales targets. Building on the trusted advisor traits, he has built a reputation for providing strategic input inside the company and with clients. He continues to embark on even more challenging Iron Man events.
There are many approaches to helping people to develop. One approach is to help a person to channel their character traits in a positive way rather than a negative way.
Building on their strengths, they can be who they are, only more so. At the same time, however, they may need to learn how to manage the consequences of their weaknesses.
Let's return to your own life and work. What are some of your character traits? You may sometimes show humility, anger, empathy, drive, caring, toughness, ambition, encouragement, resilience or whatever.
You may also have certain talents in particular fields. You may be able to make complicated things simple, make good decisions, perform superb work, demonstrate leadership or whatever.
Looking ahead, how can you channel some of these characteristics in a positive way? What are the specific things you can do to make this happen? What may be the results of taking these steps?
Describe the specific character traits you have that you would like to channel in a constructive way in the future.
Describe the specific things you can do to channel these character traits in a constructive way.

Register to vote, then do it
More than 111 million Americans of voting age didn't vote in the 2012 presidential election. Data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau shows that the least likely of all to vote are 18 to 24-year olds—just 17 percent reported voting in 2014. By age 65 and older, that jumps to 59.4 percent, which is better, but with room for improvement.
By comparison to other countries with democratic elections, voter turnout in the U.S. is among the lowest in the world. In countries such as Australia, Sweden and Belgium, for example, more than 80 percent vote. According to the Pew Research Center, in the last U.S. Presidential election in 2012, only 53.6 percent of the voting age population of America voted for President.
Voter demographics are shifting in Deschutes County, with the gap between Republicans and Democrats narrowing in recent years and more people registering as Democrats, although Republicans are still the majority. As of April 1, there are 37,880 registered Republicans and 34,167 registered Democrats in Deschutes County, according to Deschutes County's Monthly Voter Registration Report. The county received 6,327 voter registration cards during the month of March.
Oregon's primary election date is the third Tuesday in May. The Republicans and Democrats will announce Presidential nominations in July. The winner-take-all delegate system in many states means party nominees are often easy to guess before Oregon's voting date. This year, however, things could go differently. Donald Trump is currently far ahead of Ted Cruz in the race for Republican delegate votes. However, to be the automatic Republican candidate he must win more than half of all delegates. Without a majority, the Republican party is free to choose someone else. Currently, Hillary Clinton is ahead of Bernie Sanders in the race for Democratic delegates, but the journey is far from over.
On the Republican side, although Trump is ahead of Cruz, the vote is divided among more candidates, so he is not assured a majority. Trump, well-known as a reality TV host and entrepreneur, has during his campaign called for the punishment of women when he bans abortion, called global warming a hoax, recommended torture, and indicated he would cut funding to the Dept. of Education, among other things. PolitiFact, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, has calculated Trump's statements of fact are false 78 percent of the time [false: 42 percent; mostly false: 17 percent; and "pants on fire," (i.e. overwhelmingly wrong): 19 percent].
Democrat or Republican, get on fire to vote May 17.
The last day to register by mail to vote in the primary election is April 26. The primary election date in Oregon is May 17. The last day to register to vote in the presidential election (in Oregon) is Oct. 18, and the General Election will be held Nov. 8. Voter registration can be accomplished online and voter registration forms are available from the post office.

Nightclub Brawl Occurs During Chris Brown-Hosted Party
September 15th, 2014 by K104

A Manhattan club promoter was injured during a bottle-throwing melee at a party hosted by Chris Brown Thursday, police sources tell ABC News Radio.
The incident transpired inside the Meatpacking District's VIP Room around 2:55 a.m. during a New York Fashion Week after-party. During the brawl, bottles were thrown and shards of glass injured the eye of the 29-year-old victim, who was standing near Brown.
The man sought treatment at the Beth Israel Medical Center for minor lacerations to his left eye before being transported to the New York Eye and Ear Hospital.
Brown's rep tells ABC News Radio that the singer wasn't involved, nor was his entourage. Brown himself tweeted not long after the report surfaced, "There was no brawl involving me or anyone from my camp last night at VIP room. The devil is in full effect at all times. God is the way."
Just last week, Chris pleaded guilty in Washington, D.C. to misdemeanor assault, stemming from an incident outside of a D.C. hotel almost a year ago. he was sentenced to time served.
No arrests have been made in Thursday night's incident.

Dr Luke works as a UMAT tutor Melbourne and provides one-to-one and student-organised tutoring either in person or online since 2008.
How to achieve a high score in UMAT?
Although ACER believes that training for UMAT is not necessary, specialised preparation helps students to be familiar with the types of questions, develop effective strategies to solve the questions under the test conditions, build students' confidence for the testing day.
I have followed and tutored the UMAT since 2008 in Melbourne. I am familiar with the styles of questions and skills tested. Based on expertise in biological research, I have developed a set of effective strategies to solve UMAT questions, especially those on logical reasoning & problem solving and non-verbal reasoning. These questions test student's ability in scientific reasoning, such as deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning.
Students find my strategies very effective, especially in continuing the series, picking the middle, completing the picture, logical reasoning. Quite a few students got 90% above. One of my UMAT students got an average percentile of 99% in UMAT.
UMAT (the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test) is one of prerequisites for admission to medicine, dentistry and optometry courses in Australia. Some health related science courses, such as clinical sciences, vision sciences, and oral health sciences require a UMAT score as well.
UMAT is designed by ACER and held in July yearly. Although, there is no clearly stated sessions, the questions can be grouped into three categories, logic reasoning & problem solving, understanding people and abstract non-verbal reasoning, which are considered important to the study and later practice of professions in the health sciences.
The questions on logical reasoning & problem solving are normally introduced by brief texts, tables, or pieces of information presented graphically. Questions assess students' ability to comprehend, draw logical conclusions, reach solutions by identifying relevant facts, evaluate information, pinpoint additional or missing information, and generate and test plausible hypotheses.
The questions on understanding people assess students' ability to identify, understand, and, where necessary, infer the thoughts, feelings, behaviour and/or intentions of the people represented in the situations.
The questions on non-verbal reasoning may be of several kinds. All are based on patterns or sequences of shapes and are designed to assess your ability to reason in the abstract and solve problems in non-verbal contexts.
The information above is based on UMAT information booklet 2015.

Hold the Phone! AWD Weeks Away from Acquisition of Audacious App
A futurist once gave a presentation at a conference, and afterward someone came up to them and said: "Boy, I can't wait until I can just install my smartphone in my hand!"
The futurist asked: "Let me ask you a question, what's the first thing you do when you wake up?"
"I check my phone."
"How often do you check your phone a day?"
"I would say....about 10 times a day maybe more."
"Then why do you need it surgically inserted in your hand? It's already constantly with you and being checked all day!"
These days that conversation can be applied to almost everyone. You've probably checked your phone about three times while reading the introduction to this article.
That's because our lives have become connected through the phone.
And one company is taking advantage of this.
Aleator Energy (ASX:AWD) is a shell company now in the process of finalising a reverse-takeover of Vonex, an emerging telco with a swag of blue chip clients for its existing business, and potential breakthrough app set to launch very soon.
At the same time, this is still an early stage tech investment and due caution must be undertaken when considering in your portfolio.
AWD has recently confirmed a $4.5 million capital raising in support of the acquisition and re-compliance to the ASX as Vonex. Bids exceeded $8 million – demonstrating the significant interest in this company. A consolidation of shares on a 3 to 1 basis is expected shortly.
For Vone, the deal represents a way to put its growth on speed boost as it makes a play to be the one-stop-shop for communication needs and fulfil its blue sky plan to bring Facebook, WhatsApp, Skype and others together in one app to potentially rule them all.
Reintroducing...
Vonex
ASX:VN8
We first brought you AWD in the article Facebook. WhatsApp. Skype. One ASX Shell is Set to Bring them All Together back in September – since then, the reverse take over (RTO) has been coming together nicely.
As AWD finalises its acquisition, there has been a lot of movement in the Vonex camp which AWD investors would no doubt be pleased with:
Vonex has released four new products to market
Vonex has outlined a 22% increase in full year revenue for 2015
Vonex has signed more than 1200 new customers
Vonex is set to add conservatively $1M in revenue over the next 12 months on top of its current $5m revenue
Vonex has signed distribution and partnership agreements with over 350 channel partners including none other than Telstra.
Vonex CEO Brydie McKee, who was announced as a WA state nominee for the 2015 Telstra Businesswoman of the Year said about the acquisition, "Part of the reason we've entered into the Aleator reverse takeover is to accelerate our growth by raising sufficient funds for both product development and to invest in new global marketing initiatives.
"The Aleator deal will give us far greater resources to invest in our re-seller partners by incentivising their performance.
"We are looking at strengthening the number of our partners, as this approach will broaden our reach and contribute to increasing revenue streams going forward."
AWD has received funding commitments of $4.5M to satisfy conditions required to complete the acquisition of Vonex. The Company received firm bids exceeding $8M from Australian and International Institutional, Sophisticated and Professional investors, significantly in excess of the $3.5M being sought.
AWD entered an agreement to purchase 100% of Vonex on 7 July 2015, with the acquisition expected to be finalised in a few weeks – not long to go now.
Here is a recap of the terms of the deal. The structure will see performance shares convert to ordinary shares upon achievement of the following milestones:
Vonex exceeding revenues of $6 million per annum AND maintaining a market cap of more than $40 million for 10 consecutive ASX business days within two years of Settlement based on shares on issue post Settlement.
Vonex exceeding revenues of $9 million per annum AND maintaining a market cap of more than $75 million for 10 consecutive ASX business days within three years of Settlement based on shares on issue post Settlement.
Vonex exceeding revenues of $12 million per annum AND maintaining a market cap of more than $150 million for 10 consecutive ASX business days within three years of Settlement based on shares on issue post Settlement.
Assuming the Company kicks all its goals, AWD shareholders are expected to be long-term winners in this deal and are looking for a significant growth from its current implied $30 million market cap...
Success, however, is no guarantee, and AWD is a speculative stock, so caution should be applied.
Let's find out a bit more about exactly what AWD is acquiring.
Blue sky potential?
While Vonex has attracted plenty of attention for its base PBX business (more about that later), it's the blue sky thinking which has the punters talking.
Essentially, it wants to build the one killer app to rule them all.
It's called oper8tor, and it's being pitched as an app which can combine Facebook, voice, SMS, Skype, WeChat, Viber and others into the one app:
There are two really big trends Vonex will be playing into with the release of the app.
The first, is that people are getting sick and tired of switching between apps endlessly to communicate with their friends.
In fact, a Nielsen report from last year demonstrates the point.
According to its second quarter cross platform report , people are downloading more apps than they actually know what to do with.
"Trick-or-treaters tend to stock up on more candy than they actually need, and English-speaking U.S. mobile app consumers seem to be no different," the report said.
"While the average smartphone downloader has around 42 apps on their device, the majority (87%) claim they use less than 10 apps on a daily basis while 55% say they use between one and four apps and 32% report using between five and nine, according to Nielsen's Mobile Apps Playbook.
"Meanwhile, the average tablet downloader has around 35 apps on their device, with 89% claiming they use less than 10 apps on a daily basis."
In short, people are increasingly showing that they don't want to go to a 'bajillion' different apps. They would appreciate being able to just go to one app to do all their communicating.
Enter Vonex and its oper8tor app.
With network speed now reaching 4G and higher, the potential for people to make phone calls over data rather than the more traditional satellite route means oper8tor has the potential to be the one-stop-shop for people wanting to communicate on their phone.
Being the one app to rule them all also means that oper8tor will have a whole lot of data it could potentially monetise...
Imagine a company with all the data usage stats of Viber, Ziptel, Norwood, Skype, Google, and Facebook combined.
This becomes especially important when you consider that oper8tor will roll out using an ad-funded model to start with...
Vonex is Generating Revenue Right Now
Vonex is a company with blue sky potential and a very real baseline business.
That's uncommon for a tech play.
Whilst we've alerted you to the blue sky potential, Vonex's revenue generating base business is providing voice over internet protocol (VoIP) services to businesses, often tying this in with NBN, mobile, and landline services to those companies.
If you think about all the phone calls a large company needs to make per day, the numbers can be quite staggering – as is the phone bill for the businesses.
By using a VoIP protocol, Vonex is essentially eating the lunch of established telecommunications companies, and its success so far is impressive.
Vonex's VoIP business is in 63 countries, carrying millions of calls per month and has signed up an impressive client list.
This includes Groupon, Menulog, AFP, Red Balloon, Auto Masters, Country Road, Ray White, Knight Frank, Wittner shoes, Buxton real estate, Oscar Oscar hair salons and the RSPCA.
Just imagine all the calls a agency like AFP needs to make...
Vonex has well and truly caught the wave of VoIP, and the size of the opportunity is truly staggering.
It is estimated that by 2017, the VoIP market is expected to be valued at $82.7 billion. It has also been reported that the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of this industry is 6%.
Currently, Vonex's slice of that pie is just $5 million in revenue in the 2015 financial year, which was up about 22% on the previous year.
As you can see, it's gone from pretty much nothing to its current position in just five years, and the VoIP market is still growing.
There's a pretty good reason for this.
As you would know when you've set up a landline phone account in your home, the costs can get high.
Vonex is able to essentially bypass this cost by offering voice calls over fibre. Fibre, as opposed to the old copper, is now at a point where calls can be connected through it with very little or no loss in quality or capacity.
In fact, it's been estimated fibre cable has pulling specifications that are 10 times greater than copper cable depending on the cable and it is lightweight, thin and far more durable.
This means a business can effectively pay for phone and internet in the one bill, using the one line instead of having multiple lines and multiple bills.
Vonex claims that it can switch over customers within 15 minutes, meaning a minimum of disruption for businesses for a long-term overhead gain.
It essentially provides a "private branch exchange" (PBX) services for business – again something which businesses can use to cut down on overheads.
Where Vonex comes in is in providing the PBX solution, which allows people within organisations to essentially call each other without needing the call to go to an external phone switchboard, as it does currently whenever you make a phone call.
Each of these phone calls incurs a fee which goes to the operator of the switchboard and the owner of the telephone line used to connect the call.
To a company which may make hundreds or thousands of internal calls per day, that's got to be pretty galling.
With a PBX however, the call goes to a central switchboard in the cloud and is connected with the user on the other end.
For upfront costs and ongoing subscription, Vonex provides this capability, meaning companies are able to keep their overheads down.
The PBX, instead of being some kind of physical box within the company is a cloud-based service.
And as the cloud continues to disrupt traditional technologies in ways once unheard of, Vonex's operations and services put them at the forefront of this evolution.
Which brings us to data and the 'magic' of advertising – another of Vonex's major strengths...
A nice slice
These days, advertisers are all clamouring for data.
They want to know who is consuming their ads, when they're consuming their ads, and what they're doing after consuming their ads.
Just imagine a scenario where a pizza shop places an ad using geolocation data targeting oper8tor users in a particular area. This is effective because the people being served the ad have the potential to be served a slice (or eight) of pizza in the local store.
Usually, that's as far as it goes and many people just don't register the ad in their minds and the pizza joint loses out on customers.
Imagine then if that user goes onto Skype through oper8tor.
The pizza joint could then place an ad with Microsoft targeting that particular user.
The first ad on oper8tor could just be a banner ad about the pizza place and where it could be found.
The user may just think 'okay, that's good' and go about their business.
However, by re-targeting that same user with a coupon for pizza from that business, the pizza shop could just win itself a customer.
Now imagine this capability for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of users
Vonex would have quite the money spinner on its hands as its ability to serve advertising to their users unlocks a whole advertising chain, and offers data to third party (with the customer's permission, of course).
Just having data on how people are using their various communication apps via metadata would work wonders for an advertiser.
Just imagine the insight if you knew a potential customer favoured one form over another...
Now, of course there's no guarantee this sort of blue sky will come off as this is an early stage tech play.
In recent times, instead of only thinking blue sky Vonex has been tightening up its core business to make sure it has a solid base to launch from.
What's AWD and Vonex been up to lately?
Since we covered them last, AWD/Vonex has been quietly launching new products to diversify its core business and has also almost quadrupled its distribution base.
At the back-end of September it launched four new products, adding more than 1200 new customers into the mix and adding about $1 million in yearly revenue.
We can think of a few emerging tech plays which would kill to add a cool million in revenue on top of it $5m in revenue before its blue sky idea even launched.
It (in no particular order) launched:
Call Management Console
This is basically a web-based dashboard which can generate call reports, record calls, and enable call-centre functionality.
This is a boon for huge organisations with lots of inbound calls, and helps organisations better organise themselves.
It's due to roll out in the coming weeks and adds 1200 customers into the mix.
NBN and private connections
This essentially allows companies a direct line to their PBX on the Vonex cloud.
Instead of having to connect to the cloud via a third party internet connection, the client can go straight to Vonex. This bypasses any bottlenecking the third party connection may be suffering at the time.
For example, if a company wants to connect to the PBX minutes after the latest episode of Game of Thrones is finished, it may run into bottlenecks as people rush to download the shows from not-so-reputable sites.
However, by establishing a direct line to the Vonex cloud and the company's PBX, the company doesn't need to worry about calls dropping out.
Vonex also announced that the service would be available to those in pre-NBN areas, meaning that companies would be able to get all the results of VoIP calling without needing to be in an ultra-high fast broadband area.
Finance packaging
It switched its financing strategy to allow customers to have the PBX product available to them without needing to pay an upfront cost.
This may not seem like a huge change, but it could turn out to be a game-changer.
It allows Vonex to go after customers who in the past have baulked about paying an upfront fee, despite the massive efficiencies the hosted PBX solution can provide.
In short, it just opened a whole new market.
Co-location facilities
If the changes in finance packaging were aimed at the smaller end of town, the pitch for co-location facilities is a play for the big fish.
At the moment, customers have to connect to Vonex's PBX solution in the cloud, which is a great solution. However, Vonex is now offering high value clients the opportunity to put their own equipment in the Vonex infrastructure.
The reason the big fish want to do so is because increasingly, regulators and boardrooms are nervous about services hosted in the cloud. They think connecting to a private server gives the owner of the server too many sensitive details.
This is pretty unlikely, but in the current regulatory environment big companies are starting to have rules placed on them about connecting to cloud services and needing to own the infrastructure to do that.
Instead of trying to fight the fear, Vonex has simply allowed the higher net-worth clients the opportunity to put their equipment in Vonex's data centre (literally a server cage somewhere in Sydney), enabling the clients to retain some control of the data exchange.
Crucially, this would also allow cross-connections to all major providers such as Telstra, Vocus, MyNetFone, and M2.
The distribution deal
Just days ago, Vonex secured a PBX reselling agreement with RhinoCo Technology , effectively boosting Vonex's PBX distribution network by a whopping 340%.
RhinoCo has been an integral part of the electronic security industry for nearly 40 years now and has 1200 active channel partners.
Along with the electronic security offering, it had a PBX system of its own.
However, RhinoCo took a quick look at Vonex's system and decided that instead of pushing its own solution, it would be better off pushing Vonex's and taking a slight cut on the transaction.
Now that's an endorsement.
So now RhinoCo will re-sell the Vonex PBX and actively recommend it to its clients, potentially more than trebling Vonex's current network.
It also represents a low-cost way of increasing distribution without having to fork out the massive costs of setting up a forward base of sales operations in new areas.
From blue sky plays to having its feet firmly planted on the ground, it seems AWD through its acquisition of Vonex will have telecommunications bases covered and a solid business base from which to operate from.
A business base that is already making money.
It is no wonder then, that AWD was so attracted to the proposition of acquiring this telco disruptor.
The future of Vonex is twofold: high growth of the existing business through its wholesale and retail arms and secondly the development of and launch of voice app oper8tor.
Oper8tor is the blue sky app destined to bring all communications channels together and it puts AWD in a strong position to capitalise on this new age of interconnectedness.
With the acquisition now imminent, even the futurist mentioned above has positive predictions.

In July 2013, the Independent Living Centre WA (ILC) commenced a new project funded by Home and Community Care (HACC) in Home Modifications and Assistive Technology. The project aims to further develop a sustainable service model that will enable HACC Program clients to access and receive home modifications and assistive technology (often referred to as aids and equipment) that support independence and well-being through the WA Assessment Framework.
The project stems from the Commonwealth reform agenda Living Longer Living Better report which identified home modifications as an area of development and reform that will support and facilitate independent living at home for older people.
In Western Australia, HACC provide funds to support home modifications through the Community Aids and Equipment Program (CAEP) and TADWA. With recognition that home modifications and assistive technology can support clients to maintain their independence and wellbeing, HACC is committed through this two year project, to explore what will support growth in this area.
To support the development of a sustainable service delivery model that guides the provision of home modifications and equipment for WA Home and Community Care (HACC) clients a Scoping Review was conducted by the ILC in partnership with the Curtin University School of Occupational Therapy and Social Work to explore the key factors that influence best practice in home modification service delivery. Read the Full Report of Findings and the At a Glance document below.
These projects have been funded by the Non-Government Centre Support for Non-School Organisations and implemented by the Independent Living Centre WA. The aim of these projects has been to provide support within mainstream (2013-2014) and Education Support Centre (2015-2016) classrooms for children with complex communication needs using speech generating devices to access the curriculum. It can be challenging to make the curriculum accessible for students who are non verbal or have complex communication needs, for example a student may be unable to read aloud to demonstrate their literacy skills, or may not have access to appropriate vocabulary to allow them to answer a question in a particular area of the curriculum.
It had been recognised that the evaluation of different support and service delivery models was crucial in current times of funding changes and reforms within the education and disability sectors. These projects have trialled a service delivery model of short term, intensive 'within classroom' support with the Speech Pathologist becoming part of the teaching team to achieve communication, academic and social outcomes for students with complex communication needs.
3. Pathways to Non-Complex Assistive Technology for HACC Clients in WA: October 2012 – December 2013.
During 2013, the Independent Living Centre WA (ILC) with Deakin University Melbourne researched pathways to low cost aids and equipment provision for Home and Community Care (HACC) clients in Western Australia.
The research was funded by HACC Western Australia to evaluate how low cost aids and equipment can most effectively be assessed, provided, accessed and funded. The HACC WA Program, through its adoption of the Wellness philosophy emphasises the role of AT and home modifications in enabling HACC clients to remain independent at home.
Multi stakeholder analysis was used in the research to investigate AT provision from the perspective of HACC clients, HACC assessors, AT suppliers and participants from a range of other key services. The results identified a complex array of barriers across the health and community care sector and describe a best practice approach to AT provision. Recommendations are made to build capacity across the AT sector to support the implementation of a systematic approach to non complex AT provision.
The research extends the evidence base available regarding the key facilitators of AT, environmental adaption and related strategies; and the recommendations made provide the sector and policy makers with indicators for change.
4. Providing Assistive Technology within Individualised Service Delivery Frameworks.
Following the Emerging Technologies roundtable discussion, hosted by the Disability Services Commission (DSC) in November 2012, the Independent Living Centre WA (ILC) and DSC have established and led an Emerging Technology Partnership Group, chaired by ILC Executive Director Gerri Clay. DSC and ILC with support from industry partners aim to develop a coordinated direction on how assistive technology (AT) uptake and usage can be further improved primarily in the disability sector with consideration for the aged sector in Western Australia. Work is being undertaken to explore and promote initiatives where new technology is already implemented and generate a broader interest in assistive technology across the sector.
5. Assessment of assistive technology outcomes for HACC consumers of the Independent Living Centre WA: June 2012 – 2013.
There has been a lot of anecdotal evidence that the ILC is helpful and valued. However there has been no formal evaluation of the outcomes for individuals who use the service, or the impact of assistive technology on their lives. This project focuses on post service outcomes. ILC will have a body of evidence that can be used to further develop the methods of information delivery and to support the service to expand to meet the needs of HACC clients. This project is being undertaken in partnership with Curtin University and is funded by HACC.
Please review the final report below.
7.CAEP AAC Consultancy and Refurbishment: June 2011 – Present.
This project is funded by Disability Services Commission and is being implemented by the ILC. Since July 2011 the project has engaged a range of clients and their primary Speech Pathologists from a variety of organisations who have access to the Community Aids and Equipment Program (CAEP) to fund communication devices. Since July 2013 this trial and keep process has become part of the ILC Tech and ILC Hire Services. The main principle of this trial and keep process is to reduce the amount of time that a client has to wait for their device to be funded and ordered after a successful trial. ILC Tech is able to provide additional support to families and therapists in the planning and implementation of their communication device trial. ILC Hire is able to increase availability of communication devices for clients to trial.
The CAEP AAC Refurbishment project is a collaboration between The Community Refurbished Equipment (CRE-Rocky Bay) Centre and the Independent Living Centre WA Tech Team to ensure the refurbishment and re-issuing of CAEP AAC devices. These devices are available for trial and purchase.
8. stARTSPEAK: 2012 – 2015.
stARTSPEAK was an innovative three year project run by DADAA designed to close the digital divide for people with learning difficulties. Using an informed design process – tools, software and training were developed and delivered to facilitate individual and collective artistic expression that speaks to a broad audience. ILC's role in this project was the development and delivery of touchpad training for project participants. This project was funded by Department for Communities, Department for Training and Workforce Development and Community Art Network.

Some studies suggest that calcium supplements may increase your risk of heart attack. Additionally, calcium works more efficiently when it is obtained from food sources and accompanied by vitamins A, D3 and K2. Fortunately, nature provides many healthy ways to keep your bones strong, so let's take a look at some of them.
Although dairy is often touted as the best source of calcium, that is not really true. Pasteurized dairy is stripped of a vital enzyme called phosphatase that is needed in order to absorb the calcium that is present in dairy. So if you aren't eating raw dairy, absorption is inhibited. Dairy has other problems as well like lactose which can feed Candida and spike insulin, and naturally occurring opiates that can cause a wide variety of neurological and gastrointestinal issues for susceptible people.
Some Paleo folks permit some degree of raw dairy in their diet if they do not respond negatively, and that is acceptable. However, you should not be attempting to meet all your calcium needs through this food group, regardless.
Dark leafy greens like kale and bok choy have significant amounts of calcium. So do spinach, broccoli, turnip greens, collard greens, salmon, sardines, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, figs, sesame seeds and almonds.
Also, algae-based calcium supplements may be safer than conventional forms.
Like healthy trees during heavy winds, strong bones have some "give". Weak bones are like dry, dead trees. They don't have any flexibility, and a gust can easily snap them in two.
Osteoclasts and osteoblasts are bone cells that essentially break down bone and then build it back up. This complex turn of events is essential to keeping bones strong and resilient.
Vitamins A and D3 are hormones that regulate the functions of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. A deficiency in vitamin A leads to lowered bone mineral density, and a low level of vitamin D leads to rickets or osteomalacia (softening of the bones). Vitamin D also boosts the absorption of calcium in the intestine.
You should be getting plenty of exposure to sunshine for your vitamin D and it can also be found in some seafood like salmon, herring, mackerel, oysters, and cod liver oil, as well as eggs and mushrooms to a lesser extent. It's also important to keep in mind that your body cannot produce vitamin D from the sunshine without adequate levels of cholesterol.
Organic grass-fed butter is a supreme source of true vitamin A and so is beef liver. Salmon, eggs, and herring have lower amounts. Sweet potatoes, spinach and carrots contain significant amounts of carotenoids that must be converted to true vitamin A.
Proteins called osteocalcin add calcium and phosphorus salts to bones and teeth. These proteins can be produced only when vitamins A and D are present. Osteocalcin can't do its job unless it has been activated by vitamin K2.
Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is also regulated by vitamins A and D. MGP's job is to mineralize bone while keeping calcium from hardening the arteries. Like osteocalcin, MGP can't function unless it is initiated by K2.
Good sources of vitamin K2 include egg yolks, chicken liver and breasts, ground beef, and butter and hard cheese from grass-fed cows.
Grains and legumes contain toxins that pull minerals like calcium and magnesium from your bones. Foods like wheat, beans, and peanuts work against your body's bone-building efforts. Of course, if you are already following the Paleo diet as I hope you are, then these foods will already be eliminated from your diet. If not, then it is time do so.
Calcium is only one of many minerals that are needed to build strong bones. For example, silica and magnesium are also very important. Cucumbers, strawberries, green beans, leeks and celery are good sources of silica and broccoli, halibut, salmon, avocados, pumpkin seeds, spinach, collard greens, kale, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, are some good sources of magnesium. Rock salt and Himalayan Salt are also good sources of minerals.
How much calcium you excrete is just as important as how much calcium you consume. When your body is too acidic, you will excrete high levels of calcium through your urine and your body will draw alkalinity from your bones which are your richest source of alkaline base. If this is occurring frequently, it will eventually lead to loss of bone density.
Avoiding foods like grains, legumes, sugar, artificial sweeteners, carbonated beverages, alcohol, coffee, deep fried, refined table salt, and eating meals that consist of animal protein balanced with liberal amounts of alkaline vegetables will keep your pH in balance.
Progesterone is crucial for stimulating your bone building cells called osteoblasts and estrogen helps prevent too much activation of osteoclasts (cells that decompose bone). Much of our population is estrogen dominant and deficient in progesterone, due to the high levels of estrogenic chemicals in our environment, which prevents the formation of new bone.
Reduce your exposure to estrogenic chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, cleaning solvents, personal care products, etc., by living environmentally friendly and eating organic, hormone-free animal protein. Avoid foods that disrupt hormone balance like sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and grains. Don't let cholesterol levels get too low, as cholesterol is the precursor to progesterone and manage your stress, which we will talk about in more depth directly below.
When we are under stress we have a very high demand for cortisol. The higher your level of stress, the more cortisol you will need. The precursors that are needed to make cortisol are the same precursors that are needed to make progesterone. When the demands for cortisol become too high, then a phenomenon called cortisol steal occurs, and all the precursors get used up dealing with the stress, and then progesterone levels and other hormones like DHEA begin to decline.
Incorporate a variety of stress-management techniques into your life on a daily basis like meditation, mindfulness, deep breathing exercises, a daily walk, and spending time in nature.
Several studies have found that SSRIs like Prozac, Zoloft, etc., and benzodiazepines like Xanax, Valium, Ativan, etc., and antipsychotics like Seroquel and Abilify all significantly increase one's risk for osteoporosis.
If you want to have strong and healthy bones, physical activity is a must. Those who exercise regularly have significantly higher bone mineral density than those who are sedentary. However, don't get carried away and exercise too much. Keep it mild to moderate, as too much exercise is a form of stress that will contribute to cortisol steal and work against you.
Studies show that taking calcium supplements can cause calcification of the arteries that lead to a heart attack. Getting your nutrients from food is a better way to support your body's natural mechanisms that maintain healthy bone mineral density. Eat calcium rich foods along with its partner nutrients: vitamins A, D3, and K2. Stay active, balance your pH, increase progesterone, reduce stress, and you can build strong bones.

Intro: This update follows the report of 21 December 02. It covers the evidence of the last two witnesses to give evidence, Ninny Borges and Andrew Caddy, who I thought were very fair. There was questioning as to why a material witness in Egidio de Jesus was not available. It was noted that both Mr Mollah and Mr Kyranis had moved interstate for holidays. The next day 24th Dec was the summing up by barristers for both sides. We await the decision of deputy commissioner McCarthy of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission. Meanwhile the three have stayed in Darwin.
Technically, the Timor Gap Joint Authority has moved a motion for dismissal of each of the three applicants' application for relief in respect to termination of their employment. The application by the employer is made pursuant to Sect 170 CEA 1 of the Workplace Relations Act that the Commission is without jurisdiction to hear the applications. The sole ground of the TGJA is that no termination took place. The applicants claim 3 grounds: that termination was harsh, unjust or unreasonable (Sectn 170 CE(1); alleged contravention of Sectn 170 CK on discrimination and other prohibited reason; alleged contravention of Sectn 170 CM to give statutory notice.
The Commissioner has reserved his decision but hopes to be expeditious. His decision I gather will be as to whether this case can go to the Federal Court for determination. It is estimated that to this point the case will have cost around A$100,000. I did suggest before the TGJA ought to admit its unfair handling of this issue, apologise, reinstate, and the directors Mollah and now also Egidio de Jesus should retire. My reports are from my notes taken in court, I'm confident in their accuracy, but apologies if there are errors.
The next day Mollah called a meeting which Caddy had no prior knowledge of and didn't assist with. Mollah was angry, alleged breaches of privacy, confidentiality, trust, and it was all very serious. They were alleged to be in breach of the Privacy Guidelines - which are read in conjunction with the C'wealth Privacy Act. Caddy didn't agree. Caddy drafted a letter to the three saying that if they don't contact Mollah by 22 Nov then their entitlements would cease - though this was later agree to be too onerous. He has paid them their entitlements to date but these will not at this stage extend beyond 31 Dec 02. But the TGJA will continue its life until after the Timor Sea Treaty has been signed by both countries, which will not be before mid February by Australia, and there was (before) a reasonable expectation that the jobs of the three would continue until then at least. He agreed the three may have been embarrassed and humiliated but was not asked to and had not contacted them.
The Commissioner asked the barristers to give thought to when did (alleged) termination take place, and what constitutes a suspension cf termination.
1. Mr Grove for the TGJA alleged that the employment of the three Timorese employees was 'suspended' not 'terminated'. Their employment contracts are construed etc under NT laws. They were entitled to procedural fairness. He agreed there were no actions by the employer to conciliate, and no work was allocated. A letter by Mr Caddy to the three on 9th December told them they were to return to Dili when their entitlements would cease, but their salaries would cease on 31st December, though they were not required to perform any duties. So Mr Grove argued their termination was not until 31st. Not much else to report, really. Not much enthusiasm shown.
2. Mr Colin McDonald was rather more colourful in arguing for the three Timorese. He said the employment of the three was 'terminated' on the 14th December by Mr Mollah with all the hallmarks of an 'abusive dismissal', which was brutal, humiliating, and calculated to destroy any employment relationship. Any doubt was dispelled by Egidio de Jesus refusing to meet them and their Union rep on the 23rd November. Mollah had done no investigation of the facts and issues - he just jumped to conclusions. The meeting on 14th November was tense and unhappy, Mollah was intemperate, insensitive, harsh, unfair and ignorant, and made a tirade. His behaviour was over the top, and unbecoming to his position as CEO of an organisation between 2 nation states. His language and acts were of finality - eg 'you have no right to work in this office any more'. TGJAS management actions showed recalcitrance, were punitive, refused reasonable concessions or conciliation.
McDonald suggested to use commensense in looking at this and the law, and not to rely on sterile argument relating to salary being paid until 31st December. Actions were taken to drive the three out of the Authority. The Employer refused to admit wrong, and compounded the mistakes. The TGJA had an obsession with secrecy, to query their salaries was reasonable, the right to do this is enshrined in the Act. The actions of the TGJA were unlawful and are entitled to prosecution. They were morally reprehensible and industrially unacceptable.
Asked if any inference can be drawn from Egidio de Jesus' failure to conciliate and not giving evidence when he should have, McDonald said 'the normal inferences apply'.
Comment: Solidarity activists fought for human rights for East Timor and East Timorese. Hallmarks of the Indonesian regime which we opposed included illegality, abusiveness, corruption, unfairness, lack of concern for the rule of law. A new government in a 3rd world country may find it difficult to behave to establised best world standards, and the lack of support by the ETG for their three professional staff who have worked well and done no wrong, merely queried an apparent injustice, is profoundly disappointing. As so many dills in 'Bush- country' need to learn, it is NOT 'my country right or wrong', but 'human rights without fear or favour'. As Horta said on 22nd May 02 to Solidarity, sometimes you will do things against my decisions and you may well be right - and this case may be one of those type of situations. I ask Mari Alkatiri to look at this case immediately and take urgent constructive action to support his staff. Given their treatment, one would think that not to take a strong stand now will be prejudicial to the interests of East Timorese employees in the future, and even to East Timor's interests vis a vis the Oil companies and the Australian Govt, certainly to our efforts to gain support from the Australian population for a fair go for East Timor's rights over maritime boundaries and TST issues.

What if I told you that most or all nontrivial C and C++ programs you have ever written were just illusions? Most such programs contain undefined behavior, and undefined behavior is at the heart of most C and C++ security problems, yet few programmers understand how far down that rabbit hole goes. We will swallow the red pill and study the nature and extent of undefined behavior in C and C++, techniques for writing more secure, reliable C and C++ in spite of the reality of undefined behavior and other mischief, and little-used compiler flags and other tools to detect and/or eliminate bugs.

Home News Newberry demands more transparency and new policies for MRC committees
Newberry demands more transparency and new policies for MRC committees
François Carrier
(tr. AB)
MRC PONTIAC – The Mayor of Ile-du-Grand-Calumet, Serge Newberry, is hoping to introduce a new policy to better guide the work of committees created by the MRC Pontiac's Council of Mayors by detailing their mandates and structure. He made the request during the June 19 Council of Mayors meeting following a vote on a resolution concerning the Multi-use Committee for the PPJ.
Newberry also asked for background information about the resolutions
presented to the mayors for voting. "We are given the committee's recommendations, but no additional information," said Newberry. "There needs to be a report that states what the committee decided and why," he continued.
The mayor said he integrated a similar policy for Ile-du-Grand-Calumet's council a few months ago, before proposing it as an example to the MRC.
"Normally, you must have a document to manage the structure and operation of the committees," added Newberry, noting there are many rules and guidelines to ensure the committees work effectively for the Council of Mayors.
Newberry mentioned that the MRC committed to working on creating its own version of the policy, but that the issue seems to have been put to the side.

Sue homed Bean, an 8 year old boy, to a home in Cupar last week along with 15 year old Tiger – Tiger settled in quickly but Bean was on a mission to escape & eventually pushed a window open. He was missing for a few days before he was spotted at a house over the main road – he was lucky not to be knocked over!! The lady who found him has fallen in love with him and asked if she could keep him – so all's well that ends well & it is one less cat for Sue to worry about! Sue continued the feral job in Dunfermline this week & caught 3 more cats – another visit is required as there was at least one more cat there. Thanks go to Dino's for their donation of bric-a-brac after their coffee morning last week.
