Of musicality in languages wrapped in chaos
The second full length "Humanitarian War Machine" by SCARS OF CHAOS is not to be digested easily. But convoluted song structures and bilingual lyrics are as well results of deliberate steps as the renaming from Daemonic Alchemy to SCARS OF CHAOS. Guitarist DarkOne provides an insight into the world of the symphonic extreme metal of the French.
Everything starts with Daemonic Alchemy in 1997 with the line-up Angelus (keys), Evil Tongue (vocals), Horde (drums), Sardius (bass), Frost (guitars) and DarkOne. Four demos enter this world, und finally being in the Drudenhaus studio in 2002, SCARS OF CHAOS can seriously imagine releasing an album for the first time."Another promo was released in 2003 and things seemed to develop pretty well. We signed a very interesting deal with an English label which unfortunately did not fulfil its obligations - especially in financial terms. So we ended up with a heap of debts which had to be settled with the studio which almost resulted in the end of the band. The following albums were released as SCARS OF CHAOS." The renaming from Daemonic Alchemy to SCARS OF CHAOS has several, comprehensible reasons as DarkOne explains. "First of all it's the consequence of a contractual problem. The year following the washout with the first deal we have reached the point to give up the band but an American label contacted us again and we opted to 'set the table again'. As the English contract has still been effective, as one of our founding members - Frost - wasn't with us anymore and as we felt the desire to give it another try we decided to change the name. SCARS OF CHAOS matches exactly the essence of the music as well as the lyrics, and into the bargain it also sounds good."

What doesn't really seem to fit when you listen to "Humanitarian War Machine" the first time is the cover artwork. "Well, we thought about that thoroughly and we wanted to separate ourselves from the usual artworks for this kind of music. So we gave Gui from viciousart.com total freedom to come up with something off the beaten track. Furthermore our lyrics are neither inspired by the Middle Ages, nor borrowed from religious folklore." Besides the artwork SCARS OF CHAOS also leave other well-known paths, abandon the corpse paint and shift their lyrical inspirations. "We do not listen to only one kind of music, and Black Metal is a mentality, which can be found in the lyrics as well as in the attitudes of the band. It emerged the we - apart from some influences in our music - do not share this mentality. This doesn't mean that we don't appreciate Black Metal but we feel less restricted this way. There was a time when our lyrics contained more clichés, eminently on the demos of the Daemonic Alchemy era. But we have to admit that there was not much substance behind that. Today it's different. It suffices to behold your own surroundings to find inspiration. The hypocrisy, the free will to submission to superiour powers, may they be human or not, the blindness to the indirect consequences of our doings... I do not criticise human nature but the fact that those who occupy the moral high ground cause more ill than the others. I know this sounds pretty vague but I want everyone to form his own view on every track." This could be foredoomed by the fact that the lyrics of SCARS OF CHAOS often consist of English and French parts. "In regards to the sound, the musicality of every language, there are passages which seem to be predestined for the French or English language. This adds a certain drive to the chant and to the meaning of the lyrcis. The French parts are generally dimmer and more severe in their essence. I know it must be frustrating for those who don't understand the language."
The music, however, has its own and often erratic drive which holds the risk of losing the thread. "We have always been having a faible for complex music as you can listen to the tracks over and over again and still find something new in them. Obviously it's not easy to listen to the album in one go and we will not argue the converse. But I think that you will get something for your money this way. The other reason for this convoluted aspect in our music can be found in our eventful history. It's a way to ban all these negative things which befell us. I have hope that "Humanitarian War Machine" may also be of help to people who have to ban something in their lives." Some thing that should be banned are the endless comparisms to other bands. On the other hand, though, they can be useful to guide people who have not heard about a band to some extent. SCARS OF CHAOS, for instance, are often compared to their fellow countrymen Anorexia Nervosa as well as to bands like Dimmu Borgir. "Regarding Anorexia Nervosa we can hardly deny it although this band already existed before Anorexia Nervosa chose that style. Obviously their sound impressed us when they released their "Drudenhaus" album. As far as Dimmu Borgir is concerned we prefer the early albums which we really like. Afterwards they were not our cup of blood anymore. We do appreciate several tracks, though. Talking about keyboards I think that we can add Bal Sagoth to our influences as well as some soundtrack composers like Hans Zimmer. Besides we could mention Immolation but I don't think they're very audible in our music."
Comparing the SCARS OF CHAOS debut album "Daemonic Alchemy" with "Humanitarian War Machine" one major difference is the sound which is more natural and clearer this time. The songs are "largely a logical continuation of "Daemonic Alchemy". We had the desire to walk a bit less into the spheres of chaos before developing into another direction." The media seem to appreciate the slightly less chaotic structures as the reviews have not been that bad so far. Still, "Humanitarian War Machine" looks a bit like a 'Love it or hate it' release as people either don't get caught at all by the music or they think it's excellent. "It's hardly anywhere between which is pretty satisfying for us. We also got some very good responses from other people who laid their hands on the album, curiously more from abroad than in France." Originally ten tracks had been chosen for the album but one had to be dropped for the time being, namely "The Beyond". "It's our adaption of the soundtrack of Lucio Fulci's movie "The Beyond". This was one of the better pieces on the album. Unfortunately the authorization (or disaffirmation) of the track took too long so we had to take it off the album again. But we will certainly offer it for free download in due time." "Humanitarian War Machine" has been released on Black Square Records which is the band's own label. "We founded Black Square Records in order to try out how things work. The contacts with the distributors, media etc. It turned out - at least in France - that we are facing hard times. We also hear that from everywhere all the time. Whether we will continue with Black Square Records after this experience or not, we will know in good time. But the most important thing is that the future of the bands doesn't depend on the future of the label." For now, after the release of "Humanitarian War Machine", it should be time to promote the album live, not only in France but also abroad. "Between the label work and our occupational lives we didn't have the time to take care of live activities after the release but we will work on that. Insofar we are free to play some shows in Germany now. Of course we would like to go on tour with bands we appreciate personally, like Immolation, Suffocation, Dark Funeral, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle Of Filth, etc. But the most important factor is the crowd showing up and not with which bands we are on the road. If everything works out well we will play as many shows as possible. At the same time we have already started to prepare the next album as we prefer to be well ahead of tight time schedules. Needless to say that our keen musical ambitions are a good reason for that." The last words belong to DarkOne, of course. "Don't hesitate to check out "Humanitarian War Machine" and to let us know what you think about it."

The Youkilis And Ichiro Signings Fit The 2013 Yankees—And That's The Problem

Gone are the days when the Yankees acted decisively, swiftly and, if need be, expensively to fill all their gaping or perceived holes that cost them a World Series the year before. In 2009, when they did win their lone World Series over the past decade, they were still looking for ways in improve by making bold changes in letting World Series MVP Hideki Matsui depart as a free agent, trading away another post-season hero Melky Cabrera, reacquiring Javier Vazquez, and acquiring Curtis Granderson.
Some worked, some wound up being a wash, some were disastrous, but at least they were doing something for the short and long terms and at least they were done in the Yankee fashion of money being no object in the interests of getting better.
The new Yankee template has nothing to do with getting better. It has to do with getting cheaper; spackling over holes because they're too expensive to repair correctly; dropping nuggets into the media to keep them relevant or provide cover stories (the Josh Hamilton talk and GM Brian Cashman not being allowed to spend money at the winter meetings); and signing players not based on what they can do, but to placate the fans. They created this dynamic with the image of a first class organization and budgetless wheelbarrows full of cash from the Steinbrenners and the World Series or bust concept that anything less than a championship was deemed a failure. Now they're facing the consequences of that business model and the desire/need to get the payroll down to $189 million by 2014.
Two more short-term signings have been made to fill a hole (Kevin Youkilis) and to make the fans happy (Ichiro Suzuki). Youkilis agreed to a 1-year, $12 million contract and the details of a contract with Ichiro are reportedly being finalized, but he's returning.
The Youkilis signing makes plenty of sense and fills the chasm created by Alex Rodriguez's hip surgery and apparent absence until the summer. The Ichiro signing, if it's done in the interests of him playing regularly, is a bad one. In years past, the Yankees would've thanked Ichiro for his help from August onward and moved along with someone younger and better. But they can't afford anyone better. They can't trade for a young third baseman like Chase Headley because they no longer have the prospects, so they had to sign Youkilis. They can't dive into the free agent market for a Hamilton. Agents and players aren't going straight to the Yankees safe in the knowledge that if the Yankees want the player or are desperate enough, the money will be a secondary issue because it's plainly and simply there as a matter of course. That world doesn't exist anymore.
They're left with this: signing a useful player like Youkilis who doesn't fit in with the Yankees clubhouse but, as a short-term fill-in, was the best option for their shockingly limited resources. There's a possibility that Youkilis will either be a toned down version of himself or be advised how to act like a "Yankee" and not a "Red Sox." This might affect his play on the field moving forward. Bear in mind that Youkilis isn't the player he was in his Red Sox heyday.
Ichiro on the other hand, became a fan favorite because of his solid play after being acquired from the Mariners in late July. He played his usual solid defense, was a part of the landscape rather than the diva he'd become with the Mariners, and seemed rejuvenated by playing on a contender. None of that means he should've been re-signed or that he would've been re-signed as a regular contributor if prior Yankees' incarnations were still the order of the day.
Here are the facts about Ichiro: he's a declining 39-year-old player who batted .322 with a .340 on-base percentage and a .337 BAbip in 240 plate appearances as a Yankee. Even at the height of his powers, the split between his batting average and OBP has always been quite low because he doesn't walk. He looked good for the Yankees because the balls he was hitting were finding a spot between the fielders, but in reality he wasn't much better for the Yankees on the field than he's been for the Mariners in the past two seasons. He'll steal a few bases, show good glove work, and maybe have what looks like a good year with the bat. Good doesn't necessarily mean productive. That's the player they're getting and if he's asked to contribute for 400 at bats, it's abundantly clear how far the Yankees have fallen in the hot stove competition and are destined to fall when the real competition begins in April of 2013.
They're trying to save money as an end unto itself expecting the pinstripes and Yankees lore to be enough of an attraction to bring fans to the park no matter the state of the team. The implication of damaging the brand is not without merit. The on-field product will be cheaper, no doubt, but they'll also be bringing in less money because of a lack of interest. They're signing veterans past their sell-by date and hoping they have a small spring of baseball life left to "experience" their way into the playoffs. It's a hard sell and it shows—not in a good way.

A-Rod, "Reporting" and Journalistic Ineptitude

We can only speculate as to the look on Michael Kay's face as he sat down to his customary breakfast of a chicken parm smoothie and a hot, percolating pot of Postum and received the news that Alex Rodriguez had another hip injury and would miss a chunk of the 2013 season. It would be understandable if Kay spat out his Postum and chicken parm in one gloppy, colorful, repulsive mess when reading that A-Rod had again torn the same hip that was surgically repaired in 2009. This exercise in professional reporting and journalistic excellence was exemplified by Joel Sherman as he said the following on Twitter:
Hear exclusively Alex Rodriguez was playing with re-tear in surgically repaired hip Likely going for another surgery #Yankees
Rodriguez was dealing with hip re-tear during playoffs, tried to play thru. Explains why really couldn't use lower half in swing #Yankees
"Exclusively." Exclusively wrong maybe.
Then the re-tweets began by the reporters who were jumping on a story clearly before it had been verified as Jon Heyman, Jack Curry, Ken Davidoff and the rest of the experts put forth the inaccurate report that A-Rod re-tore the same hip (his right). The stories haven't even been spiritually correct as you can see in this Yahoo posting as Ken Rosenthal is quoted as saying:
A-Rod's injury occurred during the postseason and that he was experiencing pain so severe that he spent a night in the emergency room following one of the ALDS games.
It's the left hip now and no one knew about it until last month when it was diagnosed. A-Rod did complain about a twinge in the surgically repaired right hip in the playoffs, went to the hospital and had an MRI which revealed nothing. The story is fluid which, to translate, means nobody knows anything. They're reporting information as it comes in and relying on sources that don't know what's going on either.
They could try to cover their own behinds by saying that when they said, "re-tear," they were referring to another tear and didn't mean that he'd torn the same hip, but of course that would be an outright lie. You can read the tweets and re-tweets of Sherman here. It's a who's who of ineptitude and crying wolf.
I have no idea who Sherman was quoting and whether he misheard and misunderstood what they said; if they told him the wrong thing and he ran with it. What I'd like to know is when this is going to end with those who are supposed to be dispensing the news rushing to be the first to deliver the story and getting it completely wrong!!! Then their reporting brethren report the same wrong story!!!!
Clearly Sherman, the leader of the hack brigade, learned nothing from his news that the Yankees had acquired Cliff Lee in July of 2010 when they had not acquired Cliff Lee.
Getting the truth is meaningless today and that's not being a reporter, it's being a pop-up ad and/or spammer. Unfortunately there are never any consequences for these repeated, infrastructural gaffes.
As for the Yankees, they're a team that was already on shaky ground when it came to contending for their one and only objective every single year—a championship—and now they not only have to find a right fielder and a catcher, but they need to figure out what they're going to do about third base. I wrote about the host of Yankees issues earlier today and also explained why they're adhering so rigidly to the $189 million by 2014 mandate.
For the future, given the way the A-Rod contract has gone down the tubes, how does this affect the Yankees negotiations with Robinson Cano after the 2013 season? It's Yankees policy not to give a player a contract extension before it's absolutely necessary. This is a George Steinbrenner tactic that they never bothered to change no matter who the player is. It's going to cost them a great deal more money than if they copied the Rays' strategy and tried to sign their players to reasonable deals before it got to this point. But with A-Rod breaking down entirely at age 37, are the Yankees going to give Cano the $200+ million he and Scott Boras are sure to ask for? Could they dare to play chicken with Cano and let him get onto the market with the risk that another team—the Dodgers?—would give him more money than the Yankees?
It's reasonable to be hesitant with the contracts the type A-Rod signed and what Cano will ask for becoming a universally losing proposition, will the Yankees draw a line that they won't cross or will they repeat the risks of the past?
There's no solution out there given the payroll mandates, age, lack of prospects on the farm, and now the injuries. In short, it's a new disaster for the Yankees except, unlike the past, they don't have the capacity to toss money at it to cover it up.

Now the London Free Press has gotten their hands on the Saugeen Stripper story. After the Toronto Star, strangely.
Even more surprising is the fact that UWO's own Gazette newspaper hasn't said anything about it yet. If I was paranoid, I'd think there's some conspiracy going on...a coverup. Or maybe they just realized that a few people walking around naked really isn't a big deal.
The funniest part about this whole thing is that the person at UWO who seems to be speaking for the university is Susan Grindrod. That's right, GRIND ROD. They probably sent her to the media on purpose. "Well, we could send our media relations expert...but the VP of housing is named Grindrod. Let's send her and see if anyone notices the connection. Teehee."
Oh, and everyone seems to be talking as if there was just one stripper. In the pictures, I see four boobies...and unless life has become the utopian future prophesied in Total Recall, that means two people.
you know that the Gazette stopped publishing on the 6th... so that's why they are silent.
Though they did have a chance to say something back then, before the rest of the global press got on the story, but they totally pooched that one.
Yeah, I realized after I posted that the Gazette had stopped publishing. I was thinking of correcting it, but then the whole post would have been ruined. Why wreck a good post just for the sake of accuracy?
Perhaps I would agree with Sachz if I didn't have a girlfriend who read this blog.
The name comes from the residence where the "scandal" happened: Saugeen Maitland Hall. Perhaps the name has the same origin as your river, but I'm far too lazy to look it up.

The Indigenous affairs minister, Nigel Scullion, says he is "disappointed" that only two of Australia's states and territories have accepted the federal government's offer to fund a lifesaving custody notification service, two years after he made the offer.
Western Australia and the Northern Territory have agreed to create the custody notification service (CNS), a 24-hour legal advice and RU OK phone line for Aboriginal people taken into police custody.
New South Wales, which has had the service since 2000, remains the only jurisdiction to have the legislated obligation in place.
Under NSW law, police must contact Aboriginal Legal Service as soon as possible whenever an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person is taken into custody for any reason, even if they are not charged with a crime.
The NSW service takes about 15,000 calls a year, and only one Indigenous person has died in police custody since it was implemented 18 years ago.
Scullion wrote to the relevant ministers of every state and territory in Australia in 2016 offering three years' funding, provided that service followed the NSW model.
The Australian Law Reform Commission has also recommended a national roll-out of the CNS. The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Service (Natsils) also called for a mandatory national roll-out, after the launch of Deaths Inside on Tuesday.
But the response from the states and territories has been mixed.
"I am disappointed that only the WA and NT governments have accepted my offer and I am optimistic that a Custody Notification Service (CNS) will be operating in those jurisdictions as soon as possible," Scullion told Guardian Australia.
Despite not accepting the funding offer, Victoria is likely to be the next state to put a CNS into law. Police procedures in that state already require officers to contact the Victorian Legal Service within 60 minutes, or as soon as practicable, of an Indigenous person being taken into custody for any reason.
In WA, the Barnett government – which was in power when Ms Dhu died, in circumstances that the coroner found may have been avoided had a CNS been in place – denied the need for the scheme, saying that existing police protocols around contacting the Aboriginal Legal Service were sufficient.
The McGowan government, which took power in March 2017, said the CNS would be in place before the end of 2018.
In a statement to Guardian Australia, the WA attorney general, John Quigley, said that the legislation establishing the CNS had been drafted, but could not be enacted until the supporting mechanism, which is a 24-hour hotline run by the Aboriginal Legal Service of WA (ALSWA), is in place. Negotiations for a funding agreement between the federal government and ALSWA are ongoing.
ALSWA does not currently have enough lawyers to staff a 24/7 service, and Guardian Australia understands negotiations have slowed over projected operating costs with include some additional staff.
"The state government hopes the Aboriginal Legal Service will soon be in a position to operate this lifesaving service," Quigley said.
Negotiations in other states have stalled. The former Labor government in South Australia was in discussion with Scullion's office, but the Liberal government, which took power in March, is not.
Queensland has said that a CNS would duplicate "reliable and robust current measures" that Queensland Police Service (QPS) already has in place.
A spokeswoman from the Tasmanian government said the proposal was also under consideration in that state, with no decisions yet made.
The Northern Territory government did not respond to requests for comment.

Review: The Path to Power
I picked out The Path to Power on Audible because it seemed like the perfect book to use the audiobook treatment on: it was non-fiction, had an interesting topic I didn't know much about, and Robert Caro's On Power had intrigued me, especially the part about rural electrification.
Wow, when people talk about detail, this book has it. I expected it to be a straightforward biography about Lyndon Johnson, but instead, it meandered left and right (politically and metaphorically), discussing his time as well as introducing several political figures of the period that were lesser known to me, like Sam Rayburn.
The description of the political environment was also critical, as it explains how then (as it is now), the Democrats have always been short of money, and the money has always been on the side of the Republican party.
In terms of coverage of Lyndon Johnson, it's extensive and described how he wasn't much of a new dealer, despite his successful attempts to ride on the coat-tails of the very popular Franklin D. Roosevelt. The section on what it took for Johnson to get elected as a Congressional representative was evocative and descriptive: in many cases he traveled to distant farms and villages to make his case, and that was the difference between him and other candidates.
The book spent a lot of time discussing how Johnson became a "professional son", flattering and ingratiating himself to older men with power, as well as how he came to wield power himself, not through electoral popularity, but by being willing funnel public work projects to contractors he favored and then accepting political donations from them. He even got Roosevelt to help cover up these illegal campaign contributions when the contractor (Brown and Root) was investigated by the IRS. The description of the senatorial campaign of 1941 was also impressive, with Caro discussing which districts had votes that could be bought, and how Johnson lost because he made the mistake of letting his bought votes be called in first, as well as how radio and newspapers were used in the campaign.
Of course, the book also describes his affair with Alice Glass and his poor treatment of his wife, Lady Bird Johnson, again, with chapter long digressions into providing thorough biographies of both women.
The book deserves its Pulitzer prize, but imagine my dismay when I discovered that it's part of a 5-book series, and that Caro is still several years from finishing the series, despite projecting that it would be done in 2013! I've checked out the next book in the series from the library, but I'm not sure I'll get around to finishing that! Nevertheless, the book is recommended.

The Feeding Experiments Enduser Database (FEED) is no longer hosted at Duke University.
The data in FEED have been archived in Zenodo: Additional archival at Duke University's institutional repository is pending. For further questions about the data, you may contact christine.wall@duke.edu.
FEED supported by NSF-ABI-1062333 and NSF-EF-0423641 (NESCent).
Feeding is critical to survival. It is a behavior during which numerous anatomical structures function in complex ways. The evolution of mammals is a story that highlights changes in these structures. What we know about mammalian craniofacial evolution rests, in large part, on physiologic studies of the movements and forces within the feeding apparatus during feeding.
The Feeding Experiments End-User Database, or FEED, is a multi-species collection of physiologic data and associated metadata. The physiologic data contain information on muscle activity, bone and muscle strain, jaw and oropharyngeal apparatus motion, bite force, and intra-oral pressure during feeding. Metadata on feeding behaviors and muscle anatomy are annotated with ontologies. Experimental biologists can use the data in FEED to study the evolutionary and functional implications of variation in feeding physiology.


Take a journey into railway history at the National Railway Museum, Australia\'s largest railway museum with over 100 exhibits representing State, Commonwealth and private railway operators on the three major rail gauges used in Australia.
Climb into the cabs of giant steam engines, walk through elegant carriages, enjoy free train rides and interactive and educational displays.
The museum operates a 2km long 457 mm gauge railway from Semaphore to Fort Glanville which departs from the foot of the jetty at the end of the popular Semaphore Road cafe strip, and parallels The Esplanade and the sand dunes of one of Adelaide\'s most popular swimming beaches, before passing through the dunes near historic Fort Glanville at Point Malcolm.
The railway operates daily during the school holidays and on weekends and public holidays from the commencement of the September school holidays through to the end of April school holidays. Steam locomotive No.6 \'Bill\' will depart between 11am and 4pm roughly every hour on the hour, or at frequencies varied according to demand.

Well, I'd say the Standard is about to learn the true meaning of "communal division." Their editorial decision is particularly appalling as it comes on the heels of the suicide of a gay New Jersey university student who was the tragic victim of cyber-bullying. We'd do well to ask which is more important: the views of a religious minority or sensitivity to prejudice that literally has life or death implications?
Please, please write to the Standard and let them know how outraged you are. If you are Jewish, I encourage you to add that this kind of bigotry has no place in our community. Click here for the contact info.

The increase in demand for air travel, and burgeoning emphasis on aviation safety has increased the importance of well-distributed workload on Air Traffic Controllers (ATCos), so that they have optimal concentration on tasks at hand. In this aspect, increasing amount of research are being conducted by aviation authorities and institutes on new software and optimization models. These researches are carried out in both flight routing procedures and sectorisation. One particular area of focus in the research on sectorisation is hexagonal cell based modeling. The objective of hexagonal cell based modeling is to enable use of optimization techniques for airspace sectorisation. This research adapts the model introduced by Yousefi. An amalgation of Yousefi's models and common constraints in air traffic sectorisation are further explored and the effectiveness of the model was studied. Findings demonstrate the feasibility of Yousefi's hexagonal cell-based modeling in sectorisation using Genetic Algorithm.


Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint- Stock Bank may sell as much as a 15 percent stake to Credit Suisse Group AG, the Vietnamese lender's Chief Executive Officer said.
The bank's stock rose to the highest level in almost a month in Ho Chi Minh City.
Sacombank, as the lender is known, will start negotiations with Zurich-based Credit Suisse on a sale next month, Tran Xuan Huy said in a phone interview on Wednesday. He declined to comment on the value of the stake or timing of the transaction.
A Sacombank stake sale would follow Mizuho Financial Group Inc.'s agreement to buy a 15 percent stake in state-owned Joint- Stock Commercial Bank, or Vietcombank, as Vietnamese banks look to foreign investors for capital support. Central bank Governor Nguyen Van Binh is encouraging mergers and acquisitions to bolster weaker banks, and said last month consolidating its 42 lenders into 15 large ones would improve economic stability.
Credit Suisse and Sacombank signed a memorandum of understanding yesterday to help the banks "strengthen their competitiveness," according to an e-mailed statement from Sacombank. Adam Harper, a Hong Kong-based spokesman for Credit Suisse, declined to comment when contacted by Bloomberg Wednesday.
Shares of Sacombank gained 1.4 percent, to close at VND15,000 on Wednesda, the highest level since Nov. 23 on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange. The benchmark VN Index added 0.6 percent, to 367.72.
HSBC Holdings Plc, Standard Chartered Plc and Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. are among foreign banks that have invested in Vietnamese banks and opened branches in the Southeast Asian country to tap into a consumer market that Credit Suisse Group AG describes as "under-banked" in an August report.

Over the summer I spent several days working alongside staff from Liquid Logistics as part of my 4* preparation and coach reinstatement process. On one of the sea kayaking day trips, guiding a group of 6 or so clients, we had a GoPro camera out with us and one of the Liquid Logistics staff has just posted up a video from the trip which I thought I would share. There is also a gallery of photos from the day which can be seen here.
For those interested, I'm paddling the all white sea kayak (as well as being the grinning idiot giving the big thumbs up to the camera), and Hey Jill, check out the Adanac Paddles hat!!
Great day out with a great bunch of people – nice to have a video record of the day!

Q: Code Contracts. Error number for "always evaluates to a constant value" warning False warning in that code:
return (Patient as IHrsHolder) ?? (Course as IHrsHolder) ?? Appointment;

I want to suppress warning, so I need error number. But there isn't any number in Error list or Output, only:
CodeContracts: warning: The Boolean condition this.Patient == null always evaluates to a constant value. If it (or its negation) appear in the source code, you may have some dead code or redundant check

How do I suppress that (without rewriting code)?

A: In this case the "ErrorNumber" is actually a String:

Genre: Adventure, Family, Sci-Fi
I love it when a film is self-aware, knowing its target audience. For that this one receives high merits. Even if you aren't in the target range there's still much to enjoy with 'Earth to Echo.' You may have to suspend your disbelief, but it's still a fun ride. Lowered expectations may help a little as well. It amazes me how some films get the pass, and others don't, but all walks of life aren't fair. While aimed at children this is still a film for the family, and has a warm feeling to it that will leave you satisfied.
Found footage films had their run of fame, fell out of interest but may be coming back. I don't know how much battery power the three main characters had to accomplish this adventure, and that question does linger over the film throughout. Friends Alex, Munch, and Tuck are saying their goodbye's thinking the next few days will be their last. They then embark on one last adventure that feels like an old classic 'The Goonies.' They're trying to help their friend Echo return home to his distant planet. Already, you know you've heard this story before, but it doesn't hurt to see it again. The adventure our heroes go on is a fun one, even if at times it can be completely unrealistic. Sneaking in and out of bars, over a girlfriend's house while the parents are home, or infiltrating high secured government facilities just doesn't fly well. Though it works as these are ambitions of most children/young teens and how they can dream of being an adult on their own.
Initially the chemistry between the three friends wasn't there. It wasn't clear how they were close enough friends to want to spend the amount of time they did together. They each had their unique personalities, and that especially goes to Munch's character. Though as a whole it was difficult to buy their relationship at first. Though their bond started to meld as they went on the new journey, each was very funny which kept you engaged with you wanting them to accomplish their goal. Echo the robot did remind you of a live action Wall-E, so if you've seen that film you'll appreciate that here. If not you're in for a cute treat that may make for some emotional beats.
I thought Earth to Echo was a cute little film. It did have its flaws but for some reason still worked. There isn't too much negative to say about the film other than it being completely unrealistic at times. Though I'm not speaking about floating robot aliens and/or their ships, just other beats between humanity that don't add up. The film doesn't want you to take it too seriously, and that's apparent with its set up. While not spectacular it's enjoyable and will leave most satisfied. If you do have an interest already, you will enjoy it, but if you have doubts I suggest you stay away for it's just not aimed for you.

Work is not always making money. It's justifying yourself and doing what your heart says. Rotaract is a community that operates under this motive of following what your heart is saying for the betterment of the society you belong to.
Every year, Rotaractors and Rotarians all over the world celebrate World Rotaract Day on 13th March along with World Rotaract Week during the same week. The day has been named so in order to commemorate the founding of the first Rotaract Club, Rotaract Club of the University of North Carolina, in 1968. However, this year it's a historic milestone since the fraternity of Rotaract turned 50 this 13th of March.
This week is all about honouring the success and appreciating the effort taken by the Rotaractors. It's an extremely wonderful opportunity to let the community acknowledge the great work that Rotaract Clubs around the world do towards society, and it paves the path to get yourself involved with the Rotaract community as well, even if you are new to Rotaract. Rotaractors of today are indeed the Rotarians of tomorrow! Appreciation of their efforts would inspire them to reach greater heights, take up vital roles and thrive towards making this world a better place to live.
Different Rotaract Clubs in different countries celebrate this week in different manners. Some toast this with their family of Rotaract around the world by giving them a chance to join for various projects. This will give the chance to get to know how Rotaract inspires our lives.
Rotaract Club of University of Moratuwa, is ready to celebrate the true meaning of this eventful week through our novel initiatives, "Senehe Yathra" and "50 Shades of Hannibal". "Senehe Yathra" is a meritorious project conducted with the aim of lending a hand to the mothers with financial difficulties in the area of Hambegamuwa which will be held on the 17th of March, making the true objective of the Rotaract community come to light. The project is conducted under "Grama Prabodhaya", the signature Community Service initiative of Rotaract Mora that has won numerous awards locally and globally since its intiation. The spellbinding magic show "50 Shades of Hannibal", which will be held on 21st March featuring Hannibal the Magic Warrior, is another exciting experience offered by Rotaract Mora to celebrate this excitement with cheer.
While inviting all of you to join us to celebrate this week, I'll conclude with this; the highest reward of Rotaractors is not what they get for their deeds but what others become by them.

Morrissey Show @ the Capitol Theater, Port Chester, NY
January 22, 2013 / Magdalena / 6 Comments
Suedehead: The Best of Morrissey (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Greatest Hits (Morrissey album) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
It was a THRILL to see Morrissey perform live at the newly restored historic Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY – Saturday, January 19th. This was his last performance of the East Coast leg of his US tour for 2013.
The Capitol Theater, located in Westchester county, is a few blocks from the Metro North station and convenient by car. This theater has been renovated with great attention to detail. I am thrilled with wheelchair accessibility and the super accommodating staff. The architecture has been painstakingly preserved and maintained with a nod to its illustrious past. I admire those with vision who go to great lengths to preserve and update historic venues. Too often, politicians and developers decide to tear down these gems and replace them with nondescript strip malls, adding to the blandness of the American landscape. What's the point of replacing our historical landmarks with over priced condos and obnoxious big box stores which rhyme with "fart"?
Morrisey tees for sale at the show
Now, onto MORRISSEY…. I have been a stalwart fan of The Smiths and its lead singer, Morrissey since 1984. I fell in love the very second I heard their songs of teen angst, unrequited and tortured love, social and political issues, sung in a soulful baritone. Morrissey was the voice for misunderstood teens who questioned their sexuality, their feelings of alienation from the high school "cool" crowd and the peer pressure to conform. He was the hero who sang songs saying it was okay not to fit in. I related to him since my life as a teen in affluent suburbia mirrored his lyrics. It was impossible to fit into the typical high school cliques of cheerleaders and jocks. I took a different route, thumbing my nose at the packs who rarely had a creative thought or differing opinion. You can even see the same high school class hierarchy today. The "in" crowd bullies the artsy, geeky and non-conformist kids, this time using social media as a potent and damaging weapon. I cringe when I see packs of girls wearing the same uniform of sloppy sweats, fuzzy wuzzy scuffed boots, a logo encrusted "it" bag and a sense of entitlement.
Morrissey Fans at the Capitol Theater
I am a wild fan of Morrissey not only for his magnetizing music but also for his charismatic style. Carefully coiffed pompadours, meticulously groomed sideburns, Buddy Holly-esque glasses and slouchy cuffed jeans make me SWOON. Get me smelling salts, a fan and a fainting couch….QUICKLY! Morrissey has an '80s/'50's style that few can emulate, but try they do! I love people-watching at all his shows. Some of the men in attendance dress like Morrissey, circa mid-'80s. Others wear Goth band t's and one in particular, a fresh faced private art school freshman, sported a goatee, floppy hair, original pressed CBGB T and Doc Martens. Wow! So great to see everyone's enthusiastic reaction to their hero's wry lyrics, "..My only weakness is a listed crime, but last night the plans of a future war, was all I saw on Channel Four" or "Everyday is like Sunday. Everyday is silent and grey" and finally the anthem song "There's a club if you'd like to go, you could meet somebody who really loves you, so you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home and you cry and you want to die." These songs have and always will keep me a staunch and loyal fan of Steven Morrissey.
What am I wearing? Dress by Kenzo, flapper hat (recycled sweaters & chiffon) by Ki Piermont, NY, arm warmers by Jamie Kreitman, Boots by Marc Jacobs, Mary Portas fishnet stockings & OCC lipstick bright orange lips in "Grandma."
In a June 6, 2012 interview with Juiceonline.com, he said he would plan on retiring by 2014 at the age of 55. He cited that he would like to leave the spotlight because:
"I am slightly shocked to have gone as far as I have. This is my 30th year, and I've aged a lot recently, which is a bit distressing for me, as it must be for everyone. The body changes shape and there's nothing you can do about it . . . I take one hour at a time."
Come on Morrissey, if Rod Stewart can still wear the same shamefully shaggy hairdo for decades and record a Christmas album as his latest and greatest achievement, then you can stick it out to the ripe age of 70. We love you and don't care what you may look like. Even if you enter the stage with a bald head, reeking of patchouli, wearing a Grateful Dead tie-dye tee, rainbow flip flops, devouring a lamb shank, we will still love you. We will always pay tribute to a man who has always said things unapologetically, with conviction and aplomb.
Lastly, please watch this interview of Morrissey on Colbert October 10th, 2012. It is quintessentially Morrissey and he takes all of Colbert's jabs with grace.
Here is my favorite line from the interview. After expressing how much Morrissey hates the Royal family he asks Colbert: "Do you have a Royal family?"
Colbert responded: "Uh, yes, it is called the Romneys." SNAP!
Also, check out some great images from the show photographed by Robert Altman.

"Many of us are alcoholics, and to atone for these sins we sacrifice a lot of animals. It's in this setting that I became a drunkard at a very young age. My wife and I quarreled a lot. When I was really angry I would beat her and the children until I felt better. There was no peace in my home and certainly not in my heart.
"About that time I began to steal to feed our family. A cow here, a hen there … and sometimes a goat. Because of my theft, the rest of the village began to despise me and the police began to look for me. It was not uncommon for me to hide in the forest for weeks.
Isn't that a great story of mercy? No matter what we've done, our God is ready and willing to save us! Pray today that more people in Tripura, India—and around the world—will hear and respond to God's grace through His Son, Jesus.

United States President Donald Trump has criticized his allies in Saudi Arabia, considering that they orchestrated a "cover-up" of the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and that the operation was "a complete fiasco".
"Their original concept was very bad, they put it into practice very badly and the cover-up was the worst in the history of the cover-ups," Trump said in statements to the reporters in the Oval Office. "Whoever plotted the whole plan, I think he`s in a great trouble, and he should be," the president added, referring to the alleged plan to assassinate Khashoggi.
During a meeting with US military leaders, Trump has insisted that "nothing that the Saudis have done in that operation" has gone well. "I would say it was a complete fiasco from the first day," he underlined.
When asked what he considered a fiasco- whether the alleged plot to assassinate Khashoggi or his unsuccessful cover-up- Trump has responded that the Saudis "should never have thought" of the possibility of getting rid of the journalist. "Once they thought about it, everything else they did was also wrong. There should never have been an execution (of the plan) or a cover-up because it should never have happened," he stressed.
Trump added that on Tuesday he spoke on the phone again with the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohamed bin Salman, and he said plainly "that he had nothing to do with this, and it was done at a lower level." Trump has assured that many leaders of influential countries are angry about the murder of the journalist, and has emphasized: "No one is angrier than me".
He said he planned to ask Congress to send him "recommendations" on possible US responses to what happened, although minutes later, the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, announced a first reprisal: the revocation of the visas of those involved in the death of Khashoggi. Trump has reiterated that he is not inclined to restrict the sale of arms to Riyadh, because "Russia, China, and France would take advantage quickly" of that business opportunity.
The president did not want to clarify if he shared the conclusions of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has described the murder of the Saudi journalist as "premeditated" and "savage". "It was very hard with Saudi Arabia, it`s a very bad situation, and President Erdogan did not have any praise" for Riyadh, Trump said.
He also recalled that the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Gina Haspel, traveled this week to Turkey to obtain more details about the case of Khashoggi, and Trump hoped to receive more information tomorrow about it. Khashoggi, a critical journalist with Riyadh living in Washington, he was assassinated on October 2 when he went to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to collect some documents he needed to be able to marry his Turkish fiancée.


Last time I blogged about litl was back in November last year, when we released our first ever product: the litl webbook. I thought it would be a good time to post some news, now that we've announced our next product: a Web-connected TV box with an awesome remote — see the news on Engadget, Gizmodo, Fast Company, and others for more information and photos.
Since the launch of the webbook, we've done a few releases of the litl OS — the software running in our products — with major improvements in existing features, new features, and important bug fixes. Those updates were automatically downloaded and installed on all webbooks through all neat update system. Let me highlight some of those.
Mediawall major improvements. Mediawall is litl's signature channel that aggregates photos and videos from several online services and show them in a nice timeline. We spent a couple months improving Mediawall by refining the user experience, redesigning and simplifying the timeline view, improving video playback stability, making some important performance improvements, and fixing a lot of bugs. Getting the Mediawall user experience right is quite challenging as its implementation involves a tight integration between the litl OS and our server side bits.
Photo & Video upload. One common comment from users and reviewers of the litl webbook was that even though the product allowed you to view photos and videos from several online services, it didn't support media upload. A few months after the release, we added super-simple upload support to the litl OS. Users can upload photos and videos to Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug, and Shutterfly from the webbook by just following the very simple process of plugging your camera in, selecting the online service to upload your media to, and starting the upload. The new content appears in Mediawall after just a few minutes.
More services in Mediawall. By the time we launched the webbook, Mediawall supported photos and videos from Flickr and Shutterfly. On a later release, we added support for Picasa and SmugMug. More services will be gradually added in the future.
Chromium-based web browser. The latest litl OS release features a re-implementation of our web browser's guts based on Chromium — instead of Mozilla's Gecko. That doesn't mean that gjs is now based on V8 engine or anything. The main UI shell is still running on Spidermonkey engine. The new Chromium-based browser allowed us to have more control over the life cycle and resource usage of the browser cards and we now have a much smoother and integrated web browsing experience.
New channels. Several channels have been added to our Card Catalog. Facebook, BakeSpace, and NPR are some of the cool channels we've released since launch. The first ever litl SDK has been announced a couple weeks ago. We hope this will boost the development of new channels for the litl products from now on.
Misc improvements.

NEW YORK, United States (CMC) — The colors, pageantry and sound of Caribbean Carnival were on full display this week, as the Brooklyn, New York-based West Indian American Day Carnival Association (WIADCA) launched its 50th anniversary celebration of Caribbean Carnival Week.
"It's good that we got to the 50th anniversary," costume-clad Trinidadian Kay Mason, described as the "Queen of Labor Day Carnival," told the Caribbean Media Corporation among the gaiety.
"I want to thank WIADCA for their organization over the years," added Mason, who won WIADCA's Carnival Queen nine times and was five times "Queen of the Bands" in Trinidad and Tobago Carnival.
"It's a milestone to bring this culture together, so we can celebrate," continued Mason, representing perennial West Indian American Day Carnival Parade's Band the Year Champions Sesame Flyers, who was honored by WIADCA in April.
Other mas bands represented included Trinidad and Tobago-owned Detailz Mas, Antoine International, Amezilia Costumes and Diamond Entertainment.
WIADCA's president William Howard assured the effervescent crowd that "you'll have a good time [during the Carnival Parade on Eastern Parkway on Labor Day, September 4].
We'll see you for Labor Day," he said.
Stephen "Ragga" Marley is also expected to appear on Thursday, commemorating his father's [Bob Marley] visit to the same Brooklyn stage, where Marley debuted "Uprising," "and expressed enthusiasm and support for WIADCA's efforts in bringing the community together by promoting diversity and tolerance through music and culture in NYC," WIADCA said.
The annual Summer Jam: Stay In School Concert & Youth Fest will be featured on Friday, September 1, along with the popular Brass Fest concert later that day, starring soca ambassadors D'All Stars Blaxx; 2017 Party Monarch King Ricardo Drue (Antigua); Teddyson John (St. Lucia); Lyrikal (Trinidad and Tobago); Farmer Nappy (Trinidad and Tobago); 2017 Road March King, Problem Child (St. Vincent and the Grenadines); Lavaman (Grenada); and 2017 Road March King MX Prime of Ultimate Rejects (Trinidad and Tobago).
Music for the Brass Fest will be furnished by DJ Sounds 4 Life, DJ Starboy Movements and DJ Spice.
The Junior Carnival and Panorama take place on September 2.
The Dimanche Gras finale to be held the following day will feature The Calypso King of the World – The Mighty Sparrow; Calypso Queen of the World – Calypso Rose; King David Rudder; Swallow from Antigua and Barbuda, Ras Iley from Barbados and Dane Gulston steel pan virtuoso, along with the King & Queen of the Bands costume presentations.
"We are blessed to have marked 50 years of Caribbean impact, culture, education, economic contribution, services and carnival in New York State," Howard said. "This year, we celebrate our long-standing partners and welcome new ones that will help sustain this legacy for the next 50 years.
"We look forward to a diverse, inclusive and bright future, as we welcome new members and volunteers from all walks of life, and celebrate our stalwarts," he added.
The Grand Marshals for the Labor Day Parade are: New York State Jamaican-born Assemblyman Nick Perry, representative for the 58th District; George Hulse, Vice President for Community Engagement, Healthfirst Insurance Company; Camille Joseph-Goldman, Vice President for Government Affairs, Charter Communications; and New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
Honourary Grand Marshals are: New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo; New York City Mayor Bill deBlasio; lawyer Frank Seddio, chairman, Kings County Democratic Party in Brooklyn; and other corporate sponsors.
For the fourth year, WIADCA said it will also have Junior Parade Grand Marshals.
Caribbean carnival was officially established on Lenox Avenue in Harlem by Trinidadian Jessie Wardell and friends in the mid-1940's, according to WIADCA.
But WIADCA said that Wardell and some of her West Indian friends started the Caribbean festival in Harlem in the 1930's by staging costume parties in large enclosed places, like the Savoy, Renaissance and Audubon Ballrooms "due to the cold wintry weather of February.
WIADCA said the earliest known carnival street activity was held during the 1940's, when Wardell secured the first street permit for a parade type event on the streets of Harlem.
During the 1960's, WIADCA said another Trinidadian, Rufus Goring, brought carnival to Brooklyn. In 1967, Goring passed the reigns over to another Trinidadian, Carlos Lezama, who became president of WIADCA.
Lezama nurtured the organization and carnival celebrations until 2001, when, due to his ill-health, he retired, and his daughter, Yolanda Lezama-Clark, a registered nurse, served as president until 2011.
Trinidadian Thomas Bailey was elected president in 2012 until he was replaced by African American Howard, considered a long-standing friend and die-hard supporter of the Caribbean community in New York.
WIADCA said Wardell, Goring and Lezama's collective legacy "lives on today, as the organization continues to preserve the core values of institutional transference of information, cultural pride and preservation, diversity, inclusivity and intergenerational leadership.
"Today, those values still remain the focal point for WIADCA, while bringing together over 1.5 million visitors to New York from around the world to participate in the annual West Indian Carnival Parade on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn on Labor Day," WIADCA said.
The five-day festival begins at the Brooklyn Museum grounds from this Thursday – before Labuor Day – through the weekend, culminating in the spectacular and massive New York Caribbean Carnival Parade on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn.
New York's Caribbean Carnival Parade has grown over the years from thousands of participants and tourists to over three million spectators.

The Problem of Paramedics Self-referring to the HCPC – Approach with Caution and Seek Advice
Follow Stephen
By: Anonymous | Published On: 6/11/21 6:11 pm
Paramedics are disproportionately represented in HCPC fitness to practise investigations and hearings. This stems from too many self-referrals, but what should paramedics know before self-referring?
How big is the problem?
Registered professionals are required to refer themselves to the regulator if they believe their behaviour presents a risk of regulatory action being taken against them.
The proportion of paramedics who self-refer is high compared to other professions. For example, between 2013 and 2016, self-referrals made up 50% of all paramedic cases, compared with an average of 6% from other health professions.
The 2019 HCPC fitness to practise report indicated that paramedic self-referrals accounted for 127 out of 302 fitness to practise referrals. This represented more than 12% of the entire HCPC fitness to practise case load.
In 2018–19, 164 applications were made for interim orders, accounting for almost 7 per cent of the cases received. This is consistent with the previous year. The majority (71%) of those applications were granted. Paramedics had the second-highest number of applications.
Common issues and allegations
Research indicated that the most common clinical complaints relating to paramedics and that were not closed during the HCPC triage stage related to:
Alleged delayed answering Red 1 call
Alleged dropped patient off a trolley in emergency department
Alleged failure to conduct full assessment on elderly patient
Poor record keeping
Failure to provide adequate care
Failure to respond to an emergency call
Conduct in a clinical setting
A large number of these are self-referrals relating to one off incidents.
Why is there a problem?
Research has shown that the reasons are complex but can broadly be defined as:
The practice of professions in general has become more complex, meaning a growing proportion of a paramedic's day-to-day work involves conflict resolution, negotiation, and interpersonal risk management rather than technical activities such as intubation and resuscitation.
The rapidly changing scope and nature of paramedic practice may also give rise to misapprehension about when to inform the regulator of incidents which take place at work and outside of work.
Ambulance services do not investigate complaints but refers paramedics straight to the HCPC.
Paramedics self-refer to HCPC after an incident in order to demonstrate that they were acting responsibly.
Paramedics wish to ensure a 'fair' hearing and do not necessarily have confidence in their employers to deal appropriately with the incident.
A variation in the guidance on self-referrals given by employers, with some instructing paramedics to self-refer all incidents.
HCPC self-referral – standard 9.5
Under standard 9.5 of the HCPC's Standards of conduct, performance and ethics, paramedics as HCPC registrants, are required to tell the HCPC if:
they accepted a caution from the police or have been charged with, or found guilty of, a criminal offence;
another organisation responsible for regulating a health or social-care profession has taken action or made a finding against them; or
they have had any restriction placed on their practice, or been suspended or dismissed by an employer, because of concerns about their conduct or competence.
Of most relevance is the third point above. The HCPC guidance goes on to say that:
"Restrictions placed on your practice means that your employer does not allow you to practise in your usual role with your usual responsibilities or freedoms, because of concerns about your conduct or competence."
Being removed from your usual duties, such as on-call shifts;
Being prohibited from delivering your usual care or treatment without direct supervision, such as administering medicines;
Being prohibited from making your usual decisions without approval from a colleague, such as discharging a service user.
Outcomes for paramedics self-referring
Broadly speaking, around 20% to 25% of paramedics self-referring to the HCPC end up before a fitness to practise committee. Roughly the same proportion of self-referrals are referred to the HCPC's Investigating Committee, that meet to consider all evidence put before them and decide whether there is a case to answer.
Approach with caution and seek advice
Is there value in legal representation for paramedics facing HCPC fitness to practise investigation and hearings? Let us look at the facts and evidence:
Paramedics have some of the highest number of cases that end up before a HCPC fitness to practise hearing.
The HCPC granted over 70% of Interim Orders applications, with paramedics representing some of the highest Interim Order cases.
Although paramedics had some of the highest number of cases that went to a hearing, 50% of paramedics represented themselves or had no representation.
68% of cased before a HCPC fitness to practise committee, involving paramedics, resulted in some form of sanction (i.e. suspension, striking off, caution or conditions of practice).
The HCPC data shows that, in the majority of cases, registrants with representation have better outcomes before a HCPC fitness to practise committee.
It is clear that paramedics are over-represented in HCPC fitness to practise proceedings due to a very high proportion of self-referrals. These self-referrals are, in many cases, unnecessary and unjustified.
There are numerous opportunities for paramedics to intervene in the process, for example to present evidence and/or responses to HCPC correspondence. These are opportunities because with the correct advice and guidance, a fitness to practise investigation could be closed before it reaches a full hearing.
There is clear evidence as to the value of legal representation and advice. Paramedics should seek advice at the earliest possible opportunity to understand the implications and necessity of a self-referral and take advice on the best approach to take.

In celebration of their second birthday Logan Together threw a party unlike any other. The 'Logan Get Together' was a full day of connecting and engaging with the hundreds of people, organisations and government departments from Logan, Queensland and Australia where it became evident that the vibrant community of Logan QLD is at the leading edge of the place-based movement in Australia.
Logan Together is a 10 year community campaign to ensure Logan kids grow up as healthy and as full of potential as any other group of Australian children. Many kids in Logan are thriving but research is showing that, on average, there are still some gaps to close.
Logan Together is for every kid, from birth through to age 8. These first 8 years of life are really important. They are critical for brain development, for building language and literacy skills and for learning how to regulate emotions and get on with people.
To help kids arrive full of potential at age 8, the best place to start is early. Logan Together's strategy is to get kids born well and then do the things that make a big difference for kids as they grow through each age and stage of early childhood.
They know there is no one silver bullet and that there's lots of different things that go into producing a healthy, happy 8 year old. That's why they need everyone involved: community and health organisations, Government partners, schools and early learning centres, charities, local business, community leaders, families and kids. Over 100 organisations and several thousand people are working as one to achieve Logan Together's goal, as part of the Logan Together movement.
Logan Together are using the internationally recognised Collective Impact methodology to coordinate action and a small backbone team, hosted by Griffith University, powers the collaboration. The people of Logan are helping lead the work through co-design and co-leadership which is leading to real insights into how to support change and make much better decisions. They are taking a holistic view so they're also looking at how social investment and service systems could better support change at the community level.
Logan Together's first goal is to achieve parity with the Queensland benchmark in AEDC and NAPLAN over 10 years. This would reduce the number of children 0-8 with developmental vulnerability from 14,000 to 9,000 making a fundamental difference in the lives of around 5,000 children.
And they already have some wins on the board with a 100% increase in the attendance of Indigenous children in kindergarten between 2014-2017.
Two years into a ten year project, the Logan Get Together event provided a fantastic opportunity to check in with the achievements so far, see where the project is heading and to discuss the challenges faced along the way. The event highlighted engaged government at all levels, responsive services and genuine community leadership.
It is a very exciting time to be working with this nation leading community.


HOUSTON (AP) — Matt Hasselbeck and Andre Johnson showed Thursday night that sometimes old guys can shine in what is certainly a young man's league.
The 34-year-old Johnson caught two touchdown passes from the 40-year-old Hasselbeck, the second for 2 yards in the fourth quarter, to help the Indianapolis Colts beat the Houston Texans 27-20.
"You get over the age of 30 they kind of count you out," Johnson said. "But we proved to people that we could still play."
Hasselbeck was filling in for Andrew Luck, who missed his second straight game with a shoulder injury.
Hasselbeck's performance was even more impressive given the fact that he was battling a bacterial infection that hospitalized him this week. He started feeling ill just before halftime Sunday in a victory over Jacksonville and didn't start feeling better until Thursday night.
"I honestly feel like this isn't even real right now," Hasselbeck said.
Coach Chuck Pagano raved about Hasselbeck.
"He was literally on his deathbed Monday/Tuesday and mustered up enough to come in Wednesday and practice," Pagano said. "He was getting IVs and fighting a virus and the grittiest performance I've seen in a long, long time."
Hoyer's desperation throw on the last play of the first half that Strong pulled down in a sea of Indianapolis defenders for a 42-yard touchdown strike that cut the lead to 13-10. Strong boxed out two defenders and outjumped the others to reel in his first NFL catch.
"When I would be on the sidelines a lot of the fans were screaming, `Andre we still love you! Come back to Houston! Welcome home!'" Johnson said. "So that was probably the most special thing."
