Kashf Foundation, started in 1996, was the first specialized microfinance institution in Pakistan and the first microfinance institution to target women from low income communities. Kashf offers business loans, home improvement loans, emergency loans and insurance with the goal of alleviating poverty in Pakistan.
Thirty four percent of Pakistan's population of 140 million lives at or below the poverty line, and 80% survive on less than $2 a day. Founded in 1996, Kashf has worked to pioneer microfinance services--and now a suite of specialized financial services, including micro-savings, micro-insurance, and housing finance--that empower and promote the economic self-reliance of poor women and their families in Pakistan. Growing at a rate of 110% a year, Kashf is rapidly extending its presence and piloting new loan and insurance products that increase financial security and economic opportunity for its 300,000 and growing low-income clients.
Over the past seven years, Acumen Fund, a non-profit venture fund that invests in enterprises that deliver critical, affordable goods and services to the poor, has invested in Kashf, first to grow the reach of its microlending services to even greater numbers of women, and again to expand the range of services designed to meet the needs of low-income families. Acumen Fund is enabling Kashf to further its vision for financial inclusion for poor communities and create long-lasting models serving low-income markets, particularly women, to access a range of financial services that can improve their economic situation.

As mentioned at least a few times, the Jalopnik Film Festival will be the greatest thing ever to happen to anyone ever. All of our "early bird" passes sold out at a crazy fast speed, so I'd recommend grabbing the still reasonably-priced tickets while you can.
Much to our surprise, we'd barely posted the "Early Bird" $50 passes when we discovered they were all sold out. We quickly doubled the amount of these passes, hoping those would at least last us until this morning. They didn't. The normally-priced $80 passes are for sale here and when they're all gone they're all gone. We will have no more tickets to release.
Look for more announcements in the coming week with contests, panel information, and other things that will make this the greatest event ever. As promised. Remember, buy them here.


Sporting their festive purple T-shirts, Ford Scholar Alumni appropriately met in front of a giant purple Minion made of hay during the fifth annual alumni fall get-together and pumpkin spectacular at Bauman's Farm and Garden in Gervais, Ore., on Saturday, Sept. 26.
Jensen's younger brothers and sisters came to the Bauman's Farm and Garden Fall Harvest Festival, and fellow board member Danielle Currey brought her family as well.
Board members offered the new FSAA purple T-shirts for a $25 donation and Ford Scholar planners for a $15 donation. Proceeds benefit the FSAA.
Currey helped staff the FSAA table in the Food Court and said conversations at the table included networking opportunities between alumni as well as encouraging alumni to get involved, join the board and attend the summer get-together at the coast next year. "We also spoke with a group of students regarding the scholarship who are potential future scholars," she said.
The annual autumn alumni social gathering is a fun event for Ford Scholar Alumni and their families to get together and enjoy the festivities of fall, said FSAA Vice President Kirsten Yamada. While hunting for pumpkins and eating apple cider donuts, it is also an opportunity for alumni to network with each other and share connections and resources.

Grizzly Bear * Shields [Vinyl Record 2x LP]
Artist: Grizzly Bear
Title: Shields
Genre: Rock/pop
Label: Warp Records
Shields, the fourth and most fluid album by Grizzly Bear to date, will be released on Sept. 18, 2012. The quartet of Chris Bear, Ed Droste, Daniel Rossen and Chris Taylor have never made a quick follow-up; it took them three years to get from Horn of Plenty to Yellow House, three more to get from Yellow House to Veckatimest. Between those records, though, they'd not only toured (headlining as well as with the likes of Radiohead, Feist, Wilco, TV on the Radio and more), but issued singles and splits, EPs, remixes and solo projects. The potential energy gathered in tour vans and busses, in studios and on stages for years was finally released, giving the individual band's pieces the chance to recover and, after a year, return to being Grizzly Bear, and delivering their best album yet. "This has a different energy behind it," concludes Ed Droste. "Veckatimest was a little more of a polite album; the desire to keep the vocals smooth might have kept a little distance between us and the audience. This one feels a bit more rough and exposed, so that on Shields, everything speaks for itself."

Home PUBLIC HEALTH KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE, PERCEPTION AND CYBER-ACTIVITY OF STUDENTS ON CYBER VICTIMIZATION IN BABCOCK UNIVERSITY, OGUN STATE, NIGERIA
KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE, PERCEPTION AND CYBER-ACTIVITY OF STUDENTS ON CYBER VICTIMIZATION IN BABCOCK UNIVERSITY, OGUN STATE, NIGERIA
Cyber victimization refers to the use of electronic media with the intent of causing harm, humiliation, suffering, fear and despair for the individual who is the target of aggression and this has now grown to be a source of concern to parents, researchers, and teachers. This paper sought to measure the level of knowledge, the attitudinal disposition, perception and cyber-activity of undergraduates in a selected private institution. It also sought to check for associations between these afore listed independent variables and cyber victimization.
The study adopted the cross-sectional survey design. The Multistage sampling technique was used to select 426 undergraduates of Babcock University. A validated instrument for data collection was developed based on constructs in the Health Belief Model and administered. The instrument measured knowledge on a 9-point rating scale, attitudinal disposition on a 12-point rating scale, perception on a 33-point rating scale and Cyber victimization on an 8-point rating scale. Nine research questions were answered and six hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Linear Regression alongside ANOVA.
The mean age of respondents was 19.50±3.14 (44.8%). The study produced a level of knowledge to be at 66.3%, attitudinal disposition (44.7%), Perception (56.18%), Cyber-activity (56.18%) and Cyber victimization (15.37%). The study revealed that knowledge had a significant but negative linear relationship with cyber victimization (R2=0.036, R= -1.90, P˂0.05). Attitudinal disposition also had a significant but negative linear relationship with cyber victimization (R2=0.011, R= -0.10, P˂0.05). There was no significant relationship between perception and cyber victimization (R2= 0.0003, R= -0.019, P˃0.05). Cyber-activity had a significant relationship with cyber victimization (R2= 0.037, R= 0.191, P˂0.05).
The study therefore concluded that cyber-activity had the highest influence in exposing the students to cyber victimization. Therefore, Students should be sensitized on the use and importance of data limiters as a way of monitoring their cyber- activities. Sensitization programs should be carried out for an increased awareness on the menace of cyber victimization as this will provide a broader spectrum of how the issue of cyber victimization is perceived as well as how susceptible they might be without them even being aware of it.
Keywords: Cyber victimization, Cyber-activity, Knowledge on cyber victimization, Attitudinal disposition towards cyber victimization, Perception on cyber victimization.
The use of digital technology has developed over the last few decades. The use of these technologies have become very paramount to many of our daily activities which includes but not limited to sending and receiving text messages, emails, relating with friends and loved ones on social media platforms such as Whatsapp, Facebook, and twitter etc. This invariably aids us in working more efficiently, have information on our fingertips, connect and communicate with people. Many adolescents have grown up completely eloped in the digital world through the use of electronic gadgets and never will believe that they could go about their daily task without the use of the internet (Madden, Lenhart, Duggan, Cortesi, & Gasser, 2013).
According to the Nigerian Communication commission (NCC), the number of phones being used is about 99 million and it is also observed that the mobile internet is fast overtaking the traditional "fixed" internet in the country. It was also observed that there are close to 25 million smart phone users in the country out of which 65% are youths (Ken, 2012).
Digital technology usage has both positive and negative consequences (Bavelier, Green, & Dye, 2010). Based on the report by the Nigerian Communication Commission that the demand for stylish smartphones by Nigerians due to some special features that is embedded in them seem to be on the rise, adolescents exposure to the negative consequences (cyber victimization) of digital technology is also on the rise. Cyber victimization has arisen as a new issue in public mental health which predominantly affects youths today. Cyber victimization is on the high rise due to an increase in mobile phones usage and the internet and this increase has provided a new dome for both social associations and chances for abuse (Asaga, Hoven, Suzuki, Sourander, et .al 2012; Wang, Lannotti & Nansel, 2009; Mishna, Saini & Solomon, 2009; Chang, Chiu, His, Lee, et.al 2013). Studies that were earlier carried out revealed that the rates of cyberbullying among the young and steady users of the Internet that are amid the ages of 10-17 years old range from 4 to 72 % (Juvonen & Gross, 2008; Ybarra & Mitchell, 2004), and lesser rates among students of colleges when compared with adolescent samples which range from 9-20 % (Kraft &Wang, 2010; McDonald, Roberts & Pitman,2010; Scherer, Snyder & Fisher, 2016; Schenk & Fremouw, 2012).
From statistical reports which indicate the fact that 93% of teens are active users of the Internet, also showing that 75% own a mobile phone, up from 45% in 2004, it can be held that there is unlimited possibility for cyberbullying among youths. The Internet is considered today as the most technologically innovative avenue for communicating throughout the world; this is so because it has the ability to share digital material through a common set of networking and software protocol (Okorie, 2009; Okorie & Oyedepo, 2011). The ability and ease of sending text messages and having Internet access has influenced social interaction among teenagers in recent times. Most teenagers have a private computer or cell phone and engage in communications daily with a large number of people at the same time, and this therefore exposes them to repercussion which is in some cases can be harmful resulting from the influences of the instant contacts they have.
A study by Palmeri (2013) affirms that cyberbullying is a unique component that can be especially damaging for victimized adolescents. An example of this statement by Palmeri is taking for instance a situation whereby an individual who has fallen prey to a cyber-bully gets lot of messages and within minutes the same cyber bully proceeds to posting very harassing messages on its victims Twitter account or even Facebook's status or even undressed pictures of its victims, likewise also sending text messages that are very offensive to the victim. With the growing popularity of social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) and instant messenger services e.g. IM chat, Twitter and this does not always lead to positive experiences (Gross, 2004). While the Internet is considered as a necessary channel through which the upcoming generation can participate in a diversity of public and civic engagements which aids a great level of interaction with a larger scope of human activities and also learn effectively (Livingstone, 2009), there lies a concern among parents, health professionals and policy formulators over these young folks encounters with detrimental internet content or risk. (Livingstone, Haddon, Gorzig & Olafsson, 2011; UNICEF, 2011).
Mesch (2009) suggests that cyberbullying exposes the children's mental, physical and emotional wellbeing to risk and also puts the society at risk of moral decline and ethical decline. Research has shown till this date that similar to information that has been documented on traditional bullying, cyberbullying victims report more loneliness, depression and anxiety when they are likened to their peers that have never been cyber victimized (Kowalski, Limber & Agatson, 2014; Sourander, Brunstein & Ikonen, 2010). Also, young individuals that have become victims who have been harassed online have become increasingly prevalent (Jones, Mitchell & Finkelhor, 2012), and online experiences such as these have been found to be associated with their suicidal behaviours (Hay & Meldrum, 2010). Cyber bullies alongside cyber bully/victims have been discovered to have worse subjective health than those not involved as cyber bullies or cyber bullied victim (Laftman, Modin & Ostberg, 2013). Patchin and Hinduja (2006) from their studies showed that 40% cyberbullying victims felt angry, 43% felt frustrated, more than 27% of them felt sad and finally 27% confessed that it affected them at home. Cyber victims are also susceptible to psychosomatic symptoms such as abdominal pains, sleeplessness and headaches (Sourander, Brunstein, Ikonen & Lindroos, et.al, 2010).
Studies in time past have revealed that a significant relationship exist between affective disorders and an individual's involvement in cyberbullying. Example of this are the results which indicate that a significant relationship exist between depression among adolescents and cyber victimization, (Klomek, Marrocco, Kleinman, Schonfeld, et.al, 2008; Wigderson & Lynch, 2013) and amid college students (Schenk & Fremouw, 2012). In addition to this, victims are exposed to social isolation which therefore results in their engaging in unsafe acts such as substance abuse and consumption of alcohol (Schneider, Donnel, Stueve & Coulter, 2012; Williams, Connolly, Pepler & Craig, 2005). While there has been considerable attention from the media which has focused on cyber bully victims, it has been shown from research that cyberbullying perpetration is also associated with negative health effects. For example, adolescent girls who have been cyber bullies have been discovered to have increased rates of anxiety and depression when they are compared with their peers not engaged in cyberbullying (Kowalski & Limber, 2013).
Knowledge on cyber victimization can curtail the rise in cyber bullying if these youths actually do adequately understand the real concept. There are cases where an individual might be playing the role of a cyber-bully without the individual realizing it. This study aims at giving an exposition to the students about their level of knowledge about the concept of cyber victimization.
Attitudinal disposition of youths towards cyber victimization also reflects their orientation towards it. A negative orientation towards cyber victimization invariably means it is not considered as anything harmful to their health while a positive orientation towards it shows it is really considered as something to be taken seriously and avoided using all manner of measures. A positive attitudinal disposition towards cyber victimization creates a likelihood of behavioural change. Perception of cyber victimization among students reveals how much they consider it as either a threat and how detrimental it can be to their mental health. The level of perception could also create likelihood for behavioural change.
Cyber –activity which reflects the time spent online is also a serious factor that can influence the rate of cyber victimization. The higher the number of hours spent online, the higher the potential of getting victimized. If youths consider cyber-activity a source of posing a great risk of they being cyber victimized, then there is also a likelihood of behavioural change as regards the number of hours that will be spent online.
Therefore, due to the rise in cyber activity among these youths, there is a very high potential that they will experience cyber victimization if they lack the right knowledge, attitude and perception towards cyber victimization. The rate of cyber activity will either reduce or increase the likelihood that these youths will experience cyber victimization. Therefore the researcher's interest is to assess the level of knowledge, attitude and perception of these youths and to also measure their cyber-activity, as the researcher considers this a proactive measure in assessing the possible level of susceptibility of these youths falling prey to cyber bullies. Possible intervention studies is also hoped to be developed if needs be after this study is completed.
It has been noted that cyberbullying victims are four times likely to have depressive symptoms and are also five times likely to attempt committing suicide when compared to non-victims (Schneider, Donnell, Stueve & Coulter, 2012). Cyber victimization which is more prevalent in the western world due to their high advancement in technology also has a very high potential of rising in Africa and also in Nigeria due to the transition from the analog age into a fully digital web-based interaction era in which most tasks are carried out using the internet. Also, youths are predominantly involved in social interactions using social media platforms such as Whatsapp, Twitter , Facebook, 2go, Instagram, etc, and this also increases the likelihood of all the negative consequences such as being cyberbullied which ranges from from posting naked pictures of the cyber victims , posting messages that defame the victims character, impersonation alongside many others. Cyberbullying also affects the physical, emotional, social and cognitive functioning and wellbeing of the victims. From research carried out by Patchin & Hinduja (2006), it was gathered that 27% of victims of cyberbullying felt sad, 40% felt angry, 43% felt frustrated and 27% confessed that it affected them at home. Therefore, Suicidal ideation which could stem from the victims being depressed resulting from their experiences of these form of bullying such as cases where naked images of them are posted on a social media platform and comments made that defame their character could eventually result into the victims committing suicide .
Also, future relationships such as marital relationship adolescents could be negatively affected due to the psychological trauma undergone via cyber victimized experiences, in cases where these adolescents experienced falsehood, as people fake their personalities on social media platforms.
An increased level in online presence has a tendency to lead to cyber addiction, exposure to pornographic addictions which leads to decline in moral character, development of deviant behaviours due to the nature of interactions. Adolescents caught in this web could also resort to the use of drugs to quell their emotions as a result of frustration over time. All this constitutes a major distraction away from their academics and leads to a decline in academic performance. These in turn could lead to a ruin in such as in the adolescent's career if there is no proper intervention from either their teachers or parents. Taking into consideration all these negative consequences that awaits a youth who spends so much time online and does not have the adequate knowledge, has a lackadaisical attitude and a very poor perception towards cyber bullying; this raises a serious concern to the researcher about the possible harm that awaits these youths if necessary measures are not taken. To this end, it is very pertinent that the students should have the adequate knowledge, attitude and perception alongside curtail their level of cyber activity which will have a resultant effect in reducing the potential of they being cyber victimized which comes with grave consequences. This can only be done by first assessing their level of knowledge, attitude and perception towards cyber victimization and as well assessing their rate of online presence. Therefore this study seeks to assess the level of Knowledge, attitude, perception and the rate of cyber activity of students.
Cyber victimization as an emerging area of public health is underexplored and poses a severe risk; hence cyber victimization continues to be a serious public health problem with devastating outcome. Many studies have been conducted but the necessary parameters have not been scientifically stated using a conceptual framework. Therefore, this research seeks to explore subject matters such as knowledge, attitude and perception of cyber victimization and cyber-activity using the Health Belief Model (HBM) as the conceptual framework.

1.5 Justification for the Study
Studies carried out by Gámez-Guadix, Orue, Smith, & Calvete, 2013; Landstedt & Persson, 2014; Olenik-Shemesh, Heiman, & Eden, 2012 shows that victims of cyber victimization are susceptible to an assortment of psychosocial adjustment difficulties, including depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Also, from the study carried out by Schneider, Donnell, Stueve & Coulter, 2012; it was revealed that cyber bullying victims are four times likely to have depressive symptoms and are also five times likely to attempt committing suicide. Depression puts these youths at risk of committing suicide. Other resultant effects which stems out from cyber victimization can be all- encompassing damaging to the youth's performance both academically and also in their interpersonal relationship as the causal effects of cyber victimization can produce negative behavioural choices. Therefore, it can be said that in-school youths that experience cyber victimization are at the risk of experiencing depression which can lead them to committing suicide. Also deviant and delinquent behaviours can develop which will have a negative playback on their lives.
Cyber victimization as an emerging area of public health is so far underexplored in Nigeria and Africa as whole. This poses a great danger with a devastating health outcome especially with the growth in digital technology and a large population of individuals involved. Hence it is a serious public health concern.
There are limited studies in the literature conducted in Nigeria and Africa regarding cyber activities and victimization. For the studies reported (Okorie, 2014; Oyewusi & Orolade, 2014), necessary parameters were not scientifically developed and conceptualized the phenomenon. Therefore, this study was theoretically and conceptually grounded in the phenomenon. This model will enable the salient features associated with knowledge, attitude and perception of cyber victimization to be explored critically.
This study makes its contribution to the body of knowledge in characterizing features of the design and conceptual grounding that distinguishes it from previous studies. By adopting behaviour theory described in the Health Belief Model, this has provided a better understanding of underlying factors that can predispose these youths to being cyber victimized and how these factors are interrelated. This study provides an opportunity for developing theory grounded and proactive measures
1.6 Hypotheses
The study hypothesizes that;
H1: Respondents educational level significantly affects their knowledge on cyber victimization.
H2: There exists a significant relationship between knowledge and cyber victimization among undergraduate students of Babcock University.
H3: There exists a significant relationship between attitude and cyber victimization among undergraduate students of Babcock University
H4: There exists a significant relationship between perceived seriousness of cyberbullying and cyber victimization among undergraduate students of Babcock University
H5: There exists a significant relationship between cyber-activity and cyber victimization among undergraduate students of Babcock University
H6: There exists a significant difference in the level of perception across genders among undergraduate students of Babcock university students towards cyber victimization.
1.7 Operational definition of terms
Cyber victimization: Cyber victimization refers to the usage of electronic media with the intent of causing harm, humiliation, suffering, fear and despair for the individual who is the target of aggression.
Cyber activity: The frequency of online presence of an individual.

When planting flowers and digging in the dirt, use hip hinging to save your knees and lower back. Maintain your spinal shape as you bend from the hips. Take a wide stance to reach the ground more easily. If you feel your hamstrings pulling, bend your knees to keep from tucking. Check to see that your knees are over your feet and that your shoulders remain back for good blood flow to your arms and hands. Rest one elbow or forearm on your thigh as the other hand performs your gardening tasks to reduce the demand on the muscles in your back.
Don't forget your sun screen…no body likes to get sun burned!

AFL-CIO withholding Clinton endorsement, report says
by Tim Devaney - 02/17/16 5:47 PM ET
The AFL-CIO will not endorse Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders, according to a report from The Huffington Post.
Many of the nation's top unions have thrown their weight behind Clinton, but AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka told members the federation is staying out of it.
The AFL-CIO is likely to endorse a Democratic presidential candidate in the general election, he said, but doesn't want to pick sides yet.
"Following recent discussion at the AFL-CIO's Executive Committee meeting and subsequent conversations with many of you, I have concluded that there is broad consensus for the AFL-CIO to remain neutral in the presidential primaries for the time being and refrain from endorsing any candidate at this moment," Trumka wrote to members in an email obtained by The Huffington Post.
Clinton has racked up endorsements from 18 unions, including the Service Employees International Union and the National Education Association, while Sanders has garnered just three union endorsements.
Many of these unions have expressed support for the labor policies touted by Sanders, but believe Clinton is more electable.
The AFL-CIO's decision to stay out of the Democratic race is viewed by some as a victory for the Sanders campaign, which has built its platform on labor issues and could ill afford to lose another major union endorsement.
"We encourage affiliated unions to pursue their own deliberations with their members and come to their own endorsement decisions, if any, through open and rigorous debate," Trumka added.

Whilst licking my wounding over failing to obtain approval for Mission Branding, I was given the task to come up with a motto for us to use with the Iraqi Security Forces. I was rather cynical as to why, after failing to develop an effective message to communicate our purpose to the Iraqi people, we would want a motto to say when we smack each other on our fourth point of contact. Nonetheless, I sallied forth to come up with a catchy phrase for us and the Iraqi Security Forces to use as a mighty greeting.
I did some research and came up with a quick motto. Iltazam Mushtarak is the motto on General Casey's commander coin. This means Joint Responsibility. If it is good enough for the previous force commander, is it good enough for me. Besides, I figured the motto would be known and already have traction. I figured incorrectly. Very few people had heard of it.
To make matters worst, the cultural advisors, Alex and Nancy, kind of snickered at using Iltizam Mushtarak. The motto is not manly enough for an Army. We need something powerful like Yedd bil Yedd. Hand in hand. What?
Nothing like a couple of near-beers to take the edge off in Baghdad.
No American army soldier is going to think hand in hand is manly enough for them. Of course, men holding hands in Arabic culture is a sign of a strong friendship. Guess where this one is going.
I also tossed up 'Bilal il Itihad Qoowa' – Unity is Strength for consideration. I gave these to the boss and never heard of them again. Then one day out of the blue, General Abud, the Iraqi Commander, told his commanders 'Haraka Baraka' – 'get up and get moving' and it stuck. The Chief of Staff, COL Ballantyne, later tagged the Public Affairs Office to inform the troopers of the motto through our command newsletter The Daily Charge. Since that first week, I haven't heard Haraka Baraka again. When in doubt, ask the target audience if he wants a motto and which one he wants.
I couldn't help but note the similarity between 'Yedd bil yedd' and 'Haraka Baraka'. In Arabic, the phrases rhyme and flow. When I tried to develop the Mission brand I polled the Brigades for input. I got some good feedback. BLACKJACK or IRONHORSE had something like "Polite, Professional, Prepared to Kill". It wasn't why we were here, but it was still an effective way to describe what you are. In English, the phrase has symmetry.
Look at the first quote up top. Do our soldiers know why we are here? Have we communicated to them a message that they can pass to our families, our foes and the Iraqis? Isn't command information part of the public affairs responsibility? Why aren't public affairs jumping on Mission Branding?
Check out the second quote. Department of State is the lead for Strategic Communications. So, our mission brand should be a derivative of a State Department message. We are considering a few mission brands similar to the cited State Department message.
Coalition Forces are partnered with Iraqis for a free and democratic Iraq.
Coalition Forces remain partnered with Iraqis for a secure and democratic Iraq.
Coalition Forces support Iraqis for a secure and unified Iraq.
But wait, the State Department is echelons above me. How come nobody in between is articulating why we are here? How many Iraqis think we are here to steal their oil or divide up their country? When was the last time we trumpeted our efforts to assist the Iraqis TO the Iraqis? Why are we leaving our purpose to Iraqi street rumor mill? Why do I ask so many rhetorical questions I sound like an imam delivering a Friday sermon?
For answers to these questions and more, stay tuned.

Betty Millett
Patients in Greatest Need
If there was a gene for giving, hospital volunteer Betty Millett certainly inherited it.
And by donating to the Greatest Need project, you can make a difference to the lives of patients and staff at Western Health too.
STEP through an unassuming door on the first floor of Footscray Hospital, and you'll find a quintessentially Melbourne surprise – a hidden rooftop garden.
It's a simple space, scattered with hipster-friendly Monstera Deliciosa plants, recycled plastic furniture, outdoor umbrellas and fake turf.
But for Western Health volunteer Betty Millett, pictured above with Judy McKay, it's one of the tangible results of 28 years' volunteering.
The bare, forgotten area was injected with new life thanks to funds from the Maribyrnong Auxillary, which Betty pours her heart and soul into as president, secretary and treasurer.
"This is what our money went to last year," she says proudly, as she hitches up her Western Health apron and perches on a bench.
"It was just a concrete area before. The funds in the past have gone to medical equipment, but we give it to whatever makes people happy."
The crop-haired grandmother, 81, a stalwart of the hospital's opportunity shop, was born to be a giver.
She's a third generation Western Health volunteer, carrying on the legacy of her mother and grandmother.
Her volunteering days began by organising two stalls a year to raise funds for the hospital before the first op shop was set up at Sunshine Hospital, and eventually moving to the Footscray campus.
And her work doesn't end when she flips the "closed" sign on the door at Footscray every Tuesday.
At night, she knits clothes to line the shop's racks, pumping out a weekly range of pastel-coloured baby bed socks, jackets and beanies.
Betty was particularly productive when laid up in hospital with one of the four skin cancers she had removed after years of "being naughty"and playing tennis without sunscreen.
"I just can't sit in front of the television and do nothing," she says.
"It makes money for the hospital and makes people a bit happy. I thoroughly enjoy working at the hospital. I love talking to people and it keeps you off the streets."
It also helps fill the time after losing her husband ten years ago after a massive stroke. One of his granddaughters from another marriage still lives with her now.
Her home is treated as a pseudo charity bin by western suburbs residents, who regularly drop off bits and bobs to sell in the shop – and she couldn't be happier.
"My garage is like a tip with clothes, books, glasses…" she laughs.
"But I got rid of a lot of it this week and brought stuff in here, and this is the best my place has ever looked."
As much as her generosity is inspirational – she's the 2013 winner of the City of Maribrynong Volunteer of the Year award – Betty is touched by the kindness of others who do their bit to raise money for the hospital.
She fastidiously jots down their addresses and pens letters of thanks to them all, including the 93-year-old woman who sends her daughter in to donate knitted items.
"We appreciate everything people give us," she says.
"It means a lot, there's so many out there who don't realise that people need help. A lot of people can't give money wise, but there's other ways to help."
Thank you for taking the time to donate, together we can make a difference.

Witchcraft is a thankful theme when it comes to scaring audiences. From Benjamin Christensen's silent film classic "Häxan" and the Wicked Witch of the West from "The Wizard of Oz", over disconcerting films about pagan rituals, inquisition, and witch burning ("The Witchfinder General" from 1968 or Ken Russell's "The Devils" from 1971), to more recent appearances in blockbusters such as "The Craft" (1996) or Robert Egger's indie hit "The Witch" (2015): the witch is an archetype in the fantastic and horror genre used to question Western (Christian) morality and modernity.
The choice fell on two visually-stunning movies that have recently been restored to their former glory – and with which this B-Z blends into the Cinematek's special film programme around restorations – while also being a double bill about students getting caught up in the web of sinister witch communities. "The City of The Dead" is John Moxey's British cult classic from 1963 and follows a young student who investigates witchcraft in New England for her thesis, thus encountering a cult of witches herself. "Suspiria" is the magnum opus of Italian horror maestro Dario Argento ("Profondo Rosso", "Opera"), a macabre masterpiece, a Technicolor fever dream on the rhythm of an iconic prog-rock Goblin soundtrack, and by far one of the most haunting films about witchcraft ever made.
30 November 2018 - 19h00 | Cinematek
Nan Barlow, a young student, visits the village of Whitewood, Massachusetts, to investigate a case of 17th-centurywitch persecution. Following the advice of her professor (played by Christopher Lee), she stays at Raven's Inn, run by the mysterious Mrs. Newless, who is hiding a horrible secret. One of the best movies about witchcraft, with a sinister atmosphere that gets under your skin.
Jessica Harper plays an American ballet student who enrolls in a prestigious dance academy in Freiburg, Germany, only to discover that the school is being terrorized by sinister and supernatural events. The 4K restoration enhances the bloody violence and dazzling cinematography.

Le  ( ), fréquemment abrégé en LSA, est à la fois la dernière période du Paléolithique africain subsaharien et un ensemble d'industries lithiques de modes 4 et 5 trouvées en Afrique australe et orientale durant cette période. Le LSA commence vers  avant le présent et s'achève avec le début du Néolithique, ce qui correspond au Paléolithique supérieur et au Mésolithique en Eurasie. Il compte des cultures très diverses dans le temps et dans l'espace.

Historique
L'expression  a été introduite en 1929 par les préhistoriens sud-africains Astley John Hilary Goodwin et Clarence van Riet Lowe dans leur premier ouvrage décrivant l'ensemble des industries lithiques d'Afrique australe connues à cette époque, conjointement avec les expressions Early Stone Age et Middle Stone Age. Ce découpage du Paléolithique en trois périodes a par la suite été étendu à l'ensemble de l'Afrique subsaharienne anglophone.

Correspondance

Description
Le Later Stone Age succède au Middle Stone Age (MSA). Il est caractérisé par une plus grande diversité des outillages lithiques, qui varient beaucoup dans le temps et dans l'espace, contrairement à ceux du MSA. Le LSA est associé à l'émergence de la modernité comportementale par le préhistorien américain Richard Klein.

Terrorism FBI Priority?: Latest Jimmy Hoffa Dig Says Otherwise
Not far from where I live is Machus Red Fox (now Andiamo's), the restaurant from which Teamster's President Jimmy Hoffa disappeared in 1975.
I like a good mob story as much as the next person. But living in Detroit, rumors and resulting dig-ups of back-yards looking for Jimmy Hoffa are as common as Paris Hilton bed partners. And equally as valuable to society. As in, not very.
They never find the former Teamster's Union president's body, either. It's the boy who cried wolf with a giant sinkhole of taxpayer dollars to go with it.
Who Killed Jimmy Hoffa? Who Cares; "Tony Jack" Giacalone
The FBI–nationally and in Detroit–repeatedly claims that its number one priority is fighting terrorism. So, why on earth is the FBI using tens of hundreds of agents–from Detroit, Chicago, AND Washington, DC–to scour a farm in suburban Detroit looking for Jimmy Hoffa's body, over the next two weeks. No expense is being spared by the feds, and it is an incredible waste of resources. FIFTY(!) FBI agents are digging up the farm to look for Hoffa. It's absurd.
We predict that the FBI will fail to find Hoffa's body during this latest search. But, even if they do find his body, what purpose is served–30 years later–in doing so? Even then, it will be nothing more than tax dollar waste in the name of Cosa Nostra folklore.
There can be only one purpose in this Jimmy Hoffa exhumation circus: media coverage, PR, and face-time for the FBI and its Special Agent in Charge Daniel Roberts. This whole affair is a symptom of his unquenched edifice complex. We've written about Roberts and his claims that terrorism is his office's number one priority–a phony excuse to get taxpayers to shell out $65 million dollars in his empire-building conquest for a new Detroit FBI building.
But clearly, terrorism is NOT the priority. Or there wouldn't be the time, the money, the many agents to spare, going over every inch of the Milford Farm in the quest for the Holy Grail of Hoffa's rotted corpse. It's a sexy story, but worthless in terms of justice served. It's not the job of taxpayers to fund the FBI's wish to superimpose itself on "The Godfather" long after that age has ended.
Daniel Roberts: Look At Me, I'm in the FBI & I'm Wasting Your Tax $s Searching for Hoffa AND TV Cameras; Like Way Totally Cool
(Photo of Hoffa Dig by Paul Sancya/AP)
What is a bigger threat to our safety, today: another 9/11 attack/nuclear weapons from Iran OR the deceased Anthony "Tony Jack" Giacalone, Anthony "Tony Pro" Provenzano, and assorted other now-elderly or -dead mobsters who might have assassinated Hoffa?
Since the FBI doesn't know the correct answer to that, we should all be worried.
The dissapearance of Jimmy Hoffa allegedly resulted in a fatal trip to a salami factory in Cleveland, the end zone in Giants Stadium, underneath a backyard swimming pool in central Michigan, a home in Detroit, and now a farm in a Detroit suburb. But they are all fantasy, including–likely the last one. What happened to Jimmy Hoffa? Who cares. It's an endless chase with no pay-off even if there is a pay-off.
The Jimmy Hoffa investigation should have ended. Far too much time has been spent on it. And it's time for it to be relegated, forever, to American mob mythology or the professionals who write "The Sopranos."
America cannot afford to solve every mystery no matter how much desired media storm it creates for Dan Roberts and the Federal Bureau of Irrelevant Investigation.

Maybe it's all a ruse. Maybe they're REALLY looking for Adrianna La Cerva or Ralph Cifaretto.
It's funny when you think about it, though. If they do find him, we're going to spend all this money diiging him up, only to put him back in the ground again.
Thee_Bruno on May 19, 2006 at 4:12 pm
Did you notice the search method in the photo?
They are using prodding rods which the FBI agents push in the ground about six inches, or until they find a rock, then they dig a few feet with a back-hoe. Ok, let's examine this. They will most likely hit a hard object, such as a rock or perhaps some hard clay, or other Items found naturally in the ground. If they actually luck out and a bone fragment that is only six inches underground that has not been eaten by bugs after 30 years, the steel rods would probably break the bone fragments and therefore go unnoticed. Ground up fragments stuck on such rods when pulled out of the ground would look like, well, dirt.
This is a show. If the FBI really wanted to examine a specific place, they would have anthropologists digging with spoons and brushes.

Hoffa or Terrorists?
A co-worker and I were discussing (and laughing about) the news overkill last night concering the Hoffa dig out in Milford. We remarked that the FBI was spending WAY too much time on this while terrorists were probably running about
Eureka Iron Works on May 19, 2006 at 9:35 pm
I think they need to search for Mac Davis.
Mumblix Grumph on May 20, 2006 at 7:06 am
I hate to say it but I am truly embarrassed by what once was a great country. Both the FBI and the CIA are damn liberal organizations now (how the hell did that happen??) that only want to bring down the current administration. This is no longer the country I grew up in and I am ashamed…
On a good note, one of the treasures of Detroit, the Twistin' Tarantulas, are playing here tonight in Minneapolis at Lee's Liquor Lounge…
Fuzzlenutter on May 20, 2006 at 9:38 am
What a waste of time and money. Jimmy Hoffa is dead period.The next thing they will do is call in Geraldo Rivera to cover the damn thing.
They should be investigating why Presidente Fox is allowed to tour the United States this week promoting reconquista in violation of our laws.
A Foreign official is advocating the overthrow of the United States of America on College Campuses and the State Department is silent.

Perhaps the Feds will stumble onto the body of Judge Crater instead. We're all in deep shit if the CIA and the FBI have become the Liberal ass-wipes they appear to be these days. Lord knows our Political Leaders (snicker snicker) don't have the stones to make the tough calls on terrorism. With douche-bags such as Teddy Kennedy leading the Senate I can guarantee another 9/11. When is this great country going to wake up?
Rich B on May 21, 2006 at 7:29 pm
2 things about this article hit a very sensitive nerve on yours truely…
1st of all, although ive been living outside of my country for many many yrs now, i must admitt that i happen to be from Iran myself, and if there is 1 thing that i believe the average American needs to learn, is that America will NEVER be attacked in her own soil by another country in this world…i dare say this DESPITE the 9/11 events!
Infact it is my believe that the Americans have to learn sooner or later, to be rid of their morronic ideas & PARANOIAS about being by this & that country or regime, which mind u, is a by-product of the Cold War propagandas by the NeoCons in the States!
I should also at the same time say this, that obviously im totally against the regime in Iran that's been existing since 1979, and therefore ive been living in Denmark(Europe)eversince the start of the 80's! But ironically from own 1st hand experiences i've UNFORTUNATELY also seen the same type of "isolationistic" tendencies within the Americans, as of those radical Islamic monkies!!!
The only way to dismantle any regimes in the world that presents a threat against the democratic West, is imho by showing a healthy sign of Humanitarianism by the West…almost like a "being-overfriendly contest" against these clandestine regimes…
To think that u can ONLY do that by presenting them a MIGHTY military force, is utter hog-wash!
That mentality belongs to the WorldWar 2 era for god's sake!
And now to the 2nd point of the article that seemed to provoke this reaction from this rather unknown user here, is, why in god's name can't ppl respect the tragic circumstances under which Jimmy Hoffa was killed??
Clearly there were BIGGER political names that were involved with 1st of all marginalizing & then anhilating Hoffa, and it would still be of great relevance, even to this day–in my humble opinion–to see which political force that stood behind TOTALLY DiSMANTLiNG a man of his calibre, because obviously he was the working man's 'voice'!
[oops im sorry, i just realized that i may be writing these very words in a site where hardcore "anti reds" come in & speak]
;-D
Here is a hoping that the world would NEVER become a place like the US because of the appearantly horrible BLiNDNESS that exists in this nation among her ppl!!!
Mind u, i both LOVE & HATE America, just like MANY ppl on this planet living outside the country..& that's only because the US is such a schizophrenic nation!
May god bless us all!

seafood and sustainability
Centre-facilitated initiative on ocean sustainability appoints Martin Exel as new managing director
Exel has a background in fisheries management, working with the Australian government, and has also been General Manager Environment and Policy for Austral Fisheries – the first carbon neutral fishing company in the world
Exel will become the new global face of SeaBOS and will be spearheading its ambitious international agenda
The SeaBOS initiative was established in 2016. Since then, the initiative has been coordinated and facilitated by the Stockholm Resilience Centre and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
Martin Exel will take up the position as managing director for SeaBOS from 1 July 2019. He has a background in fisheries management, working with the Australian government, and has also been General Manager Environment and Policy for Austral Fisheries – the first carbon neutral fishing company in the world. He has also coordinated the Coalition Of Legal Toothfish Operators (COLTO), which has been instrumental for addressing illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing in the Southern Ocean.
In his new position Exel will become the new global face of SeaBOS and will be spearheading its ambitious international agenda.
Says Exel: "SeaBOS is a unique partnership of industry leaders, with goals which include reducing illegal fishing and eliminating forced labour practices in the seafood industry; implementing traceability and transparency in supply chains; ensuring sustainable aquaculture and feed production; working to reduce plastics and antibiotics in the marine environment, as well as working with governments to help introduce legislation and regulations."
Exel also acknowledges centre researchers Carl Folke and Henrik Österblom for their contribution to the launch of SeaBOS, and the leadership of Mr Ito, the inaugural and current Chairman of SeaBOS and President of Maruha Nichiro, the world's largest seafood company.
Mr Exel has over 35 years' experience in the seafood industry. He's a leader and a change-agent who has demonstrated his commitment to sustainable seafood and a healthy ocean, in many facets of our industry. We are fortunate to have his experience and expertise to help guide and shape this organisation.
Mr. Ito, President of Maruha Nichiro
A critically important role
The SeaBOS initiative was established in 2016 as a result of the first keystone dialogue at the Soneva resort, in the Maldives. Since then, the initiative has been coordinated and facilitated by the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. It currently consists of ten of the largest seafood producers in the world, engaged in wild capture fisheries, aquaculture and feeds, with companies based in Europe, North America and Asia. Stockholm Resilience Centre and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will remain the key scientific partners to the initiative.
Martin Exel has been identified as having the expertise and skills to lead the SeaBOS initiative to its next, fully operational phase.
"This is a very exciting development and proof that industry is starting to take on the critical challenge of ocean stewardship," says Henrik Österblom, science director at Stockholm Resilience Centre, and coordinator of the interim SeaBOS secretariat.
"I am very excited about having Martin in this critically important role. The fact that he knows the international seafood industry well and has experience in managing sustainability initiatives, gives me confidence he will be able to deliver exciting results for SeaBOS," says Carl Folke, professor at Stockholm Resilience Centre. He coined the original analogy between the largest companies in seafood industry and keystone species in ecological communities. Keystone species in nature have a profound effect on the structure and function of an ecosystem and disproportionately determine the prevalence and activities of other species. Similarly, active leadership in sustainability initiatives by the world's biggest seafood companies could result in a cascade through the entire industry.
