Mexico's economy is highly exposed to developments in the US. High uncertainty surrounding NAFTA renegotiations and other US policy directions in international trade, and specifically targeting Mexico, could adversely affect sentiment and investment.
Peso movements have reflected these vulnerabilities and have already driven payment delays. Peso depreciation in 2016 has helped some exporters, particularly boosting the tourism sector. This stimulus has subsided as the peso has recovered some lost ground. The domestic slowdown will weigh heavily on the retail and construction sectors.
While GDP is forecast to slow in the short term, the medium- to long-term prospects are still strong for Mexico thanks to improving fundamentals and effective policymaking.
Mexico's economy has been performing sluggishly, well before the November 2016 US presidential elections. GDP grew only 2.3% in 2016, mainly due to decreased oil prices, lower oil production, tighter fiscal policies and low productivity growth. Ongoing domestic political woes – namely the unstable security situation and widespread corruption – continue to negatively affect business and consumer sentiment. On top of this, uncertainty over future US policies has added to Mexico's challenges. GDP growth is forecast to slow further this year to 1.5%.
Mexico's economy is highly dependent on the United States. The direct channels through which the Mexican economy could be affected by US policy are: trade and investments, and to a lesser extent remittances and immigration. Mexico is also indirectly vulnerable to the broader global effects of President Trump's policies.
This vulnerability is reflected in higher peso volatility and declining confidence since the election of Donald Trump. Protectionist rhetoric from Washington has specifically targeted Mexico and diplomatic relations have been on a rollercoaster. Uncertainty surrounding trade policy in particular – both what will be implemented and what would be feasible outside the bounds of WTO dispute resolution mechanisms – has become a central concern for Mexico's outlook. Since January, however, fears have largely eased as the US administration appears to be taking a more traditional and pragmatic approach to trade policy. Business and consumer confidence have been improving since February and March respectively. That said, uncertainty still clouds the Mexican economy's outlook.
Exports directed to the US accounted for over 80% of total exports and 26% of GDP in 2015. As a result, Mexico's economy is exposed to developments in the US, which has been most evident in heightened exchange rate volatility since mid-2016 as the US elections heated up and protectionist rhetoric increased. Responding to these fears, the peso depreciated 15% against the USD between the election of Trump and his inauguration in January.
However, since the inauguration, the peso has recovered – being the strongest performing currency thus far in 2017. Since Mr Trump has taken office, his stance on Mexico has largely moderated. Highly-integrated supply chains between the US and Mexico mean that some large US companies would also be negatively affected, dissuading the administration from imposing penalising tariffs. Free-trade ideology also remains a focus of the Republican Party which has kept policymaking tempered. Mr Trump has also demonstrated that he is willing to sacrifice campaign promises to get policy through Congress – as demonstrated by the recent passing of the budget without financing earmarked for a US-Mexico border wall. We expect the more orthodox policy to be maintained, but uncertainty remains.
While exchange rate fluctuations act as a shock absorber, the depreciation has pushed up consumer prices. Despite recent appreciation, inflation is expected to stay above the 4% target this year due to higher petrol prices and base effects. In order to protect the currency and prevent additional inflationary pressures, the Bank of Mexico has increased the benchmark interest rate several times – from 4.25% in July 2016 to 6.50% in late March 2017. This monetary tightening negatively impacts domestic demand further.
Thanks in part to exchange rate depreciation, Mexican exports become less expensive in US dollar terms. In March, exports increased 14.1% year-on-year, the fifth straight month of annual gains. However, not all of this benefit is passed on to Mexican firms since a large share of their manufacturing exports have US import content, which is comparably more expensive.
Mexico benefits from significant foreign investment (FDI), which accounts for 44.3% of GDP, with over 40% of all inflows coming from the United States. Over the past ten years nearly half of all FDI has gone to manufacturing – the sector most dependent on NAFTA-integrated supply chains. Uncertainty over the renegotiation and even the possible scrapping of NAFTA will undoubtedly slash investment in manufacturing. While FDI in the Mexican mining sector is expected to increase alongside recovering prices in 2017, this would only partly compensate for lower manufacturing investment.
Portfolio investments in Mexico are also very high – totalling a whopping 268% of its international reserves in 2016. This makes Mexico vulnerable to shifts in market sentiment due to the short-term nature of this kind of investment, as it could be pulled out as soon as sentiment sours (as opposed to direct investment, which is longer term in assets factories). However, this high stock of portfolio inflows also represents the high level of development of the Mexican financial market.
In the medium-term, we expect FDI inflows, even in the manufacturing sector, to continue strongly. Mexico's maquiladora industry for instance is the manufacturing house for the US. Possible US import tariffs could cause some manufacturers, especially in the automotive and electronics sectors, to shutter their doors. But many US firms manufacturing in Mexico are exporting to other non-US countries, so are not likely to be hampered by US border taxes. As such, the competitive advantage of locating manufacturing in Mexico could be broadly maintained, and medium- to long-term investment would continue.
Remittances from Mexican workers in the US amount to about USD 25 billion annually – the largest amount in the world. While impediments to these transfers, such as a potential US tax, would decrease the net value of remittances, hurting consumer confidence and private consumption. The effect on the total economy however would however be limited, as remittances account for just 2.2% of Mexican GDP. Furthermore, peso weakening has significantly increased the value of remittances, earnings in USD, in local currency terms.
A mass deportation of undocumented Mexicans from the US would increase Mexican unemployment while also decreasing the level of remittances. The increase in the untrained workforce in Mexico would also come at a time of slower economic growth which already would lower the availability of jobs.
Businesses active in the public construction segment are strained due to fiscal austerity, which began well before the Trump presidency. Curbed public spending has led to the postponement of several infrastructure projects, such as power plants and airports, and less investment in the energy sector, despite the recent energy reform. This tendency would accelerate in the case of a steeper economic downturn, driving up already-high payment delays.
While residential construction has fared better so far, it has been affected by lower consumer confidence and increased interest rates. Construction business margins have also been affected by the end-2016 peso depreciation end of 2016, which made the imports of raw materials and machines more expensive.
After the US presidential election Mexican consumer confidence deteriorated sharply, especially in the Northern region where the maquiladoras – the factories that import raw materials duty-free from the US and export finished products – are based.
While consumer confidence has rebounded somewhat since February 2017, higher inflation and rising interest rates still negatively affect consumer spending and subsequently retail. The scrapping of fuel subsidies since the beginning of 2017, as well as increasing global fuel prices leaves many households with less to spend on consumer durables.
In 2016, the tourism sector enjoyed 8.9% higher arrivals and 10.4% higher earnings. Depreciation of the peso has made Mexico a more attractive destination. American visitors account for nearly 60% of all air arrivals and most border crossings. A robust outlook for US GDP growth suggests that the tourism sector should benefit from another strong performance in 2017 and 2018. This however is only as long as security does not become a serious issue in the Yucatan peninsula and Baja California, the main destinations for American tourists.
Decreasing construction activity directly affects the metals and steel sector, which is already suffering from overcapacity and subdued production. Options for increased exports remain limited due to the current overcapacities in the global steel market.
Since 2014 the Mexican oil and gas sector has been suffering from low global prices, coupled with shrinking production capacities. That said, the passing of a comprehensive energy reform has finally paved the way for highly-needed foreign investment in the industry. While ongoing uncertainty could shy away foreign businesses from entering the related bidding processes for future exploration of deep water fields, investment in the sector appears to be holding up. On 5 December 2016 an oil field auction was highly successful with eight out of 10 blocks being sold to a broad range of large oil companies, including France's Total, Norway's Statoil, UK-based BP, and US-based companies Chevron and Exxon Mobil. A USD 11 billion contract has also been signed in March between Pemex and BHP Billiton, sustaining the resilience of this sector.
Due to its proximity, the very close economic ties and its dependence on the US market, Mexico stands to lose more than most other countries from radical shifts in US foreign and trade policies. The softening stance of the US administration toward Mexico ahead of NAFTA negotiations has eased concerns of financial de-stabilisation and/or a recession for the time being. The short-term outlook for Mexico's economy is still weak and remains highly vulnerable to US policy shifts, but a steep deterioration now represents a downside risk as opposed to a baseline scenario. The country is well-placed to deal with uncertainty, while supply chain integration with the US and close integration with major global economies serve as a buffer. This should help secure robust growth in Mexico in the medium- to long-term.
A well-developed financial sector and competitive advantages for manufacturing on non-US export markets should keep foreign investment up in the medium- to long-term. Commodity prices are recovering, and the Mexican resources sector is obviously a very attractive investment destination for international firms. In the medium term we also expect trade dependence on the US to ease as Mexico has renewed its focus on strengthening ties with the Pacific Alliance, Mercosur, and the EU, on top of the 12 other free trade agreements it has in place with 46 countries.
Compared to other emerging markets, Mexico is also more resilient against the fallout of President Trump´s expansionist economic policies – namely higher US interest rates and the associated capital outflows. Monetary policy has been used effectively so far, and a new currency hedging programme means that the Bank of Mexico does not need to lift interest rates further in order to reduce pressure on the peso. This shows that Mexican policymaking is robust and should relieve some pressure from consumers and businesses alike.
Therefore our outlook for the Mexican economy is one of slowing growth, largely driven by policy uncertainty in the US. As a result, payment delays and insolvencies will increase in 2017. But in our baseline scenario, we do not expect the "Trump effect" to be overly destabilising. Thanks to effective measures to reduce external vulnerability and diversify trade partners, GDP growth is expected to pick up in the medium term driven by a recovery in investment.
US leaves TPP-dashed hopes for industry growth in Asia?
The US decision to leave the TPP agreement could foretell profound economic and strategic implications for certain Asia Pacific economies and industries.
The consequences of any US shift on its Mexico policy remain to be seen, but increased currency volatility has already an negative impact on the economy.

23andMe aims to make and support scientific discoveries to advance our understanding of the role of genetics in many traits and conditions. We strive to publish those discoveries in scientific journals, and help pave the way towards prevention and treatments.
By participating in 23andMe research activities, you contribute valuable data that helps us in this objective. At the same time, you can learn about some of our research findings and how your answers compare with other participants. Research activities (surveys, questions, tests) are accessible through the Research tab located at the top of your homepage.
Where can I view a full list of available surveys and questions?
Questions are automatically loaded in your question stream as you continue to provide answers. Each time you visit the Research page in your account, you will be presented with unanswered questions, until you have answered them all.
How can I find more information about the survey I'm taking?
Each survey that appears in your question stream includes a brief summary of the topic.
Do you offer surveys in a printable form?
We are currently unable to provide printable surveys because of the way survey questions are generated. Many of our surveys are generated based on the answers users provide to previous survey questions. So while there may be 300 total possible questions in a survey, any one user might only be presented with a dozen or so, depending on their answers to previous questions. Thus, one user's "Allergies" survey experience may end up being very different from another user's "Allergies" survey experience. Presenting this personalized survey experience to each user - based on their previous answers - would be very difficult to achieve in paper form.
Can I edit or review my answers?
You can edit or review your answers to Research questions at any time by clicking here or by logging into your account and hovering over the Research tab located at the top of your homepage. You will see Search & Edit and you will be directed to a list of all editable questions relevant to your profile.
You can search for a specific topic or term of interest, or use the filters located on the left side of the page. These filters allow you to search for completed and incomplete surveys and quick questions. You can also filter through surveys and quick questions independently. If you search for a term that appears in both a quick question and a survey, both will be surfaced for you. If the topic or term appears in a survey, you can click on the name of the survey to see which questions in the survey match your search term.
Some surveys will not appear on this page and are not available for edits because the survey has been closed. Additionally, you may see some surveys listed in your account that you are not eligible to answer at that time. These surveys may only be available to customers that are enrolled in a specific research study.
By answering online survey questions and allowing researchers to combine your genetic data with millions of other data points, you can help drive scientific and medical discoveries. You have access to Discoveries within your account. These may show how your responses compare to other 23andMe users or may showcase 23andMe findings made possible thanks to the contribution of customers like you. Additionally, you can locate the papers 23andMe has published using consenting customer data from within your account.
Am I required to participate in Research activities?
By comparing people who do and do not have a specific condition or disease, genetic research can help identify new or unexpected factors that influence when and how a disease develops and whom it affects. This knowledge can lead to novel therapies or treatments. For example, genetic markers associated with age-related macular degeneration* (AMD) have revealed that inflammation plays a key role in this common cause of vision loss. Based on these findings, drug treatments that target inflammation are now being investigated for AMD.
If I do not have the condition in the survey, why should I complete a survey on that condition?
Your answers are very valuable even if you do not have a certain disease or condition. For our genetic research, we need to compare people who have a condition to those who do not. By completing surveys - even if you don't think they apply to you - you can serve as a research control.
Discoveries are a way for us to share interesting data and findings from 23andMe with you. These can be early discoveries 23andMe has made, or more background on the genetics of a particular topic or trait. You can find these discoveries from the Research tab in your account. Keep in mind that they are preliminary and are meant for informational purposes only.
You can access 23andMe Research Discoveries from the Research tab in your account.
*The Age-Related Macular Degeneration genetic health risk report (i) is indicated for reporting of the Y402H variant in the CFH gene, and the A69S variant in the ARMS2 gene, (ii) describes if a person has variants associated with an increased risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, and (iii) is most relevant for people of European descent.
**The 23andMe PGS test uses qualitative genotyping to detect clinically relevant variants in the genomic DNA of adults, from saliva collected using an FDA-cleared collection device (Oragene·DX model OGD-500.001) for the purpose of reporting and interpreting genetic health risks. The relevance of each report varies based on ethnicity. Our genetic health risk reports describe if a person has variants associated with a higher risk of developing a disease, but do not describe a person's overall risk of developing the disease. The reports are not intended to diagnose any disease, tell you anything about your current state of health, or to be used to make medical decisions, including whether or not you should take a medication or how much of a medication you should take.


Jan's mom always had a garden in the clay soil on the river bottom. They grew vegetables for the coming winter and also entered them in the county fairs, winning blue ribbons on potatoes, green beans, beets and more. But the favorite garden of all was the flower garden up close to the house where spring and summer visitors would get the tour to see how beautiful the flowers had performed this year.
Hollyhocks, Pansies, Four O'clocks and Moss Roses, so much to see and admire before a cool refreshing lemonade and cozy chat. This room in our Billings bed and breakfast has its own bath and a Queen sized bed makes us think of garden gates and helps us remember to stop in the gardens as you cross through life- enjoy the fragrance, the beauty and be refreshed.


GLENDALE–The Armenian National Committee – Political Action Committee (ANC-PAC) is pleased to announce its support of Nayiri Nahabedian for the 43rd State Assembly District in the April 13th special election. In a state which is home to the largest concentration of Armenian Americans in the nation, the 80 member legislative body currently stands with no members of Armenian ancestry.
Paul Krekorian's successful move to the Los Angeles City Council has left his former seat in the district vacant. Despite the growing size of the community in the last 20 years, Armenian-Americans stand to lose a valuable voice in the State Assembly.
The ANC – PAC met with all the candidates participating in the election to assess their qualifications and goals. After due consideration, the committee was unanimously convinced that Nayiri Nahabedian possesses the best qualifications to serve the constituents of the 43rd District.
Nayiri Nahabedian's strong background in leadership and public policy has earned the trust of several key supporters including; Los Angeles City Councilmember Paul Krekorian, Senator Carol Liu of Glendale, Assemblymember Anthony Portantino of Pasadena, and numerous other elected officials, political leaders, and community organizations. She has been endorsed by a wide cross section of groups ranging from the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor and various other unions, to teachers, professionals, law enforcement, and women's groups such as the National Organization for Women (NOW).
Since Armenian-American voters represent only 16% of the registered voters of the district, an electable candidate will need to appeal and gain the support of non-Armenian voters as well. Nayiri Nahabedian currently serves on the Glendale School Board and has earned her credentials in successfully managing a large pubic educational entity at a time of dwindling public funds. She was elected to that body by a large and diverse base in the electorate, proving adept at garnering a wide range of support outside of the Armenian-American community as well.
Nayiri Nahabedian has raised an impressive amount of money since declaring her candidacy. With more than $150,000 in contributions since January 7th, Nahabedian has put an exclamation point on the legitimacy of her effort. Along with an accomplished team of campaign strategists and consultants, Nahabedian is well equipped to bring victory home on April 13th.
The campaign team working to elect Nayiri Nahabedian has the best knowledge of the electorate of the 43rd Assembly Dirstrict because its members worked on Paul Krekorian's successful campaigns for the Burbank School Board, State Assembly, and Los Angeles City Council.
Nayiri Nahabedian has dedicated her life to serving our community and its institutions. Her service to the community includes co-founding AGBU's Generation Next Mentorship program providing mentors to at-risk youth in Glendale Schools. She has served as the ANC- Burbank Schools Committee Chair and led the Forum for Armenian Cultural and Social Studies.
California's 43rd Assembly District spans the cities of Burbank and Glendale. It also includes portions of Los Angeles, including the neighborhoods of Atwater Village, Laurel Grove, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, North Hollywood, Toluca Lake, Toluca Woods, Toluca Terrace, Valley Glen and Van Nuys.
Going forward, the Armenian-American community of the 43rd Assembly District must stress the point — to all of its 32,000 registered voters – that at this time of budgetary crisis and economic insecurity Nayiri Nahabedian is the voice we want in the State Assembly.
The ANC-PAC joins countless others in urging you to support Nayiri Nahabedian for victory on April 13, 2010.
The ANC-PAC is a non-partisan federally registered political action committee established to support campaign committees for Members of Congress who share the values of the Armenian American community. The ANC-PAC is at the forefront of efforts to ensure that the voice of the Armenian American community is clearly heard in our nation's capital. The ANC-PAC continues a century old tradition of Armenian American engagement on the public policy issues facing national political leaders, both in the U.S. Congress and the White House.


I was a software engineer for a major DoD contractor back in 2000's and got Secret clearance around 2008/2009. I was laid off in 2011 and left the DoD industry. I'd like to get back into the DoD industry again but can't due to lack of a clearance. Just wondering what would have happened to my prior clearance? Can it be easily re-activated or is a brand new investigation required? Thanks.
You have been out of cleared positions for more than two years so your clearance went inactive. In any case, you would be due for a reinvestigation since your prior investigation is more than 10 years old. You will basically be starting over from scratch.
After 2 years of not using it, it expires and must be done from scratch.
You'll need to start from square one again unfortunately.
do I have a better chance getting a clearance on the East coast? from looking at clearancejobs.com, seems to be more job opportunities there that doesn't require an active clearance to start with.


Editor's Note: In the world of web design, we tend to become preoccupied with the here and now. In "Resilient Web Design", Jeremy Keith emphasizes the importance of learning from the past in order to better prepare ourselves for the future. So, perhaps we should stop and think more beyond our present moment? The following is an excerpt from Jeremy's web book.
Design adds clarity. Using colour, typography, hierarchy, contrast, and all the other tools at their disposal, designers can take an unordered jumble of information and turn it into something that's easy to use and pleasurable to behold. Like life itself, design can win a small victory against the entropy of the universe, creating pockets of order from the raw materials of chaos.
The Book of Kells is a beautifully illustrated manuscript created over 1200 years ago. It's tempting to call it a work of art, but it is a work of design. The purpose of the book is to communicate a message; the gospels of the Christian religion. Through the use of illustration and calligraphy, that message is conveyed in an inviting context, making it pleasing to behold.

Rev. Ruth Tull
Ruth Tull of Laurel, passed on October 16th, 2021 at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born on October 29, 1940 in Easton, Maryland. She was the daughter of the late Francis Turpin and Allice White Turpin. Ruth was a graduate of the class of 1958 of Federalsburg High School. Ruth and Bill Tull were married on June 13, 1958. They moved to Seaford and then in 1960 moved to Laurel where they lived on the family farm of Bill's mother. When their third child started school, Ruth started college at Del Tech in Georgetown and graduated from there with an Associates Degree in Education. She then went to Salisbury State and completed her Baccalaureate in 1972. Ruth started teaching fourth grade at North Laurel Elementary School. In 1976 she received her Master's Degree from Salisbury State. During her tenure at school, she taught grade four, reading to grades one through four, and then was Guidance Counselor for grades one through eight. When she was able to receive and early retirement from school in 1991, Ruth went to Wesley Theological Seminary and received her Master's in Theology. She was privileged to serve at St. John's U.M.C. in Seaford, DE. for one year, as an Associate Pastor, after being a church hire for a year. She then was sent to St. George's U.M.C. in Clarksville, DE. After three years serving there she took on Millville U.M.C. and served both of those charges for four more years. In 2000 Ruth was appointed to Unity Washington U.M.C. until her retirement in 2005. After her retirement, Ruth served Galestown and Wheatley's Churches for three years and Christ U.M.C. in Laurel for four years, She then served Laurel Charges. Ruth thought it was a wonderful opportunity to be able to serve so many people in ways that were so fulfilling by being in the ministry. Besides being active in the church, Ruth also served for 9 years as an appointed member of the Child Placement Review Board for Sussex County. Ruth was appointed to the Board of Ordained Ministry for the Peninsula-Delaware Conference for 12 years. Ruth was also appointed as a Mentor for incoming ministers over the years. She was always ready to help in any way that she could. Ruth joined Martha Rebekah Lodge in Laurel in 1978. After being Noble Grand of Martha Lodge, she became State President for two different terms. She remains an active member of the Martha Rebekah Lodge helping to prepare meals, helping on committees, and head up the Initiatory Degree for the Lodge. During her membership, she has also received the Meritorious Jewel. Ruth also enjoyed helping Bill with the Telephone Pioneer projects. She was active for quite a few years giving books and then dictionaries to schools in Delaware. One of the things that Ruth learned early and tried to instill to her children was that if you work together you can get more accomplished. Ruth learned early from her mother that there were no girl jobs or boy jobs. There were jobs that could be completed when we worked together. She and Bill always worked together on the farm, in the ministry, and in life. Ruth enjoyed being with people whether it was with the Lodge for a project, at church helping with the Soup Social each week, teaching Sunday School, or helping at the Sharptown Carnival many years, tying bags of cotton candy, or helping with other things that needed to be done. It was also exciting to have the family and friends gather for a meal or picnic. Each day seemed to bring excitement and surprises.

No-Obligation Case Analysis
Proposed Houston ordinance fights employment discrimination
On behalf of The Jackson Law Firm posted in Employment Litigation on Wednesday, May 28, 2014.
Privately-owned businesses may often operate under a different set of regulations than their public counterparts. In Houston, there are many companies that can exercise their discretions a little more freely than others, including whom they employ. When it comes to employment discrimination, however, there is some debate over what constitutes wrongdoing and what is simply a preference. One local lawmaker is looking to control discrimination policies for both public and private companies.
The Houston mayor has proposed an ordinance that would prohibit employers from discriminating against people in a variety of sectors, including city positions as well as private businesses and housing. The proposal takes into account discrimination based on marital status, race and sex. In a debate at a recent city council meeting, opponents were able to voice their opinions. For many, the issue of transgendered individuals choosing which bathroom to use struck a nerve. Others noted that they did not support the ordinance due to their personal religious beliefs.
There would be as much as a $5,000 fine for companies that are found to have broken the ordinance. Certain organizations would be exempt from the proposal, such as religious institutions and companies that employ fewer than 50 people. The council has planned to vote on the issue in May.
No matter the outcome of the vote, it is important for businesses to have adequate legal representation to mitigate the effects of disputes such as wrongful termination or bias. Employer liability claims can have a devastating effect on a business that lacks the help of an attorney.

Restrictions eased but caution required
June 1, 2020 MP News Group COVID-19

IT seemed as though the Mornington Peninsula became active again last Tuesday with the state government further easing COVID-19 restrictions.
Playgrounds, skate parks, outdoor gym equipment and park equipment, such as furniture and barbecues, were reopened for up to 10 people, with the number expanding to 20 from 11.59pm on Sunday.
Libraries, youth centres and other community facilities were given the go ahead to open with 20 people in a single area that complies with social distancing rules; men's sheds and arts and crafts classes can resume; entertainment and cultural venues, such as galleries, museums, drive-in cinemas and historic sites can open, and swimming pools can open with up to 20 people and extra safety requirements in place.
Community sporting activities are also be permitted with up to 20 people in undivided spaces, provided the sport is outdoors, non-competitive, non-contact, and people are able to play 1.5 metres apart.
The mayor Cr Sam Hearn said the easing of restrictions was a sign of "slowly and cautiously heading in the right direction".
"If we stay the course and do the right thing, there'll be more announcements on 22 June that will see a further easing of restrictions – something we're all looking forward to."
The gradual easing of restrictions was encouraging for local businesses and, in particular, the tourism and hospitality sectors.
"In the meantime, I remind everyone that we still need to remain vigilant and cautious and to observe the social distancing rules and practice good hygiene."
In other signs of easing, non-food and drink market stalls can open, and overnight stays can resume at private houses and in tourist accommodation.
Campgrounds and caravan parks can open but with communal facilities closed. The shire camping season is proposed to reopen in October.
Up to 20 people are allowed at weddings plus the celebrant and couple; up to 50 are allowed at funerals, plus those conducting the ceremony, and up to 20 are allowed at religious ceremonies, plus those performing the service.
Outdoor gatherings can have 20 people and 20 people can be inside a home which, for a family of four, means 16 visitors.
Those able to work from home must keep working from home until at least the end of June. Details: mornpen.vic.gov.au/coronavirus

"It's the Guns," Says Mental Health Partnerships
Source: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/its-the-guns-says-mental-health-partnerships-300603481.html
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Mental Health Partnerships (MHP), a multi-faceted mental health advocacy and service agency, joins with all Americans in mourning the 17 lives lost at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida—and we demand that our legislators take immediate action to prevent such tragedies," says MHP President and CEO Michael Brody.
"We are talking about gun safety. After a mass shooting in Australia in 1996, the country enacted strict gun laws—and it has not had a mass shooting since. 'In the developed world, these levels of gun violence are a uniquely American problem.'
"Even within the U.S., the research is clear: According to an American Public Health Association study, 'states with higher rates of gun ownership had disproportionately large numbers of deaths from firearm-related homicides.' As economist Richard Florida wrote, 'fatal gun violence is less likely to occur in richer states with more post-industrial knowledge economies, higher levels of college graduates, and tighter gun laws. Factors like drug use, stress levels, and mental illness are much less significant than might be assumed (emphasis added).'
"Many of us at Mental Health Partnerships have been diagnosed with serious mental health conditions, and we are concerned about the linking of such conditions with a propensity for violence, because it increases prejudice and discrimination. As a writer on the Behavioral Scientist website noted in October: 'Perpetuating the myth that mental illness is the cause of mass shootings only serves to stigmatize the mentally ill even further. In addition, it distracts from the more difficult conversation that must be had over gun-control in America.'
"Unfortunately, many of our legislators are in thrall to the National Rifle Association. Republicans received nearly $6 million in the 2016 election cycle; Democrats received $106,000. (How much does your legislator receive? Here's the list.And President Trump? He got at least $21 million from the gun lobby.) But who are they representing? Ninety percent of Americans support background checks for all gun sales.
"As to the Second Amendment (which, in fact, covers militias, not personal gun ownership), common sense begs the question 'Guns have changed. Shouldn't our gun laws?'"

PL is a 57 year old male patient with Stage IV lung cancer with widespread bone metastases and comorbidities of HTN and depression. He has been enrolled in hospice for the past month in the long term care facility where he resides. His prognosis is poor, with an estimated life expectancy of 1-2 weeks. Allergies include GI upset with lisinopril (Zestril®) and amitriptyline (Elavil®) and skin rash with NSAIDs.
PL is currently rating his pain 9 out of 10 despite 20 hydromorphone boluses in the past 24 hours. To better manage his pain, he is being transferred to the hospice's inpatient unit. His history reveals mixed pain including a dull, achy pain primarily in his hips associated with movement and a sharp, shooting pain in his lower back that radiates down his right extremity. The dull, achy pain with movement is managed well with dexamethasone, however the sharp, shooting pain has been persistent. He has tried various opioid regimens including oral morphine, oral methadone and more recently, the high dose hydromorphone infusion. PL has also had trials of adjuvant neuropathic pain agents including gabapentin (Neurontin®), pregabalin (Lyrica®), and amitryptiline without significant relief. Considering patient's history of depression with no active management, he was recently switched to duloxetine, however, it is causing stomach irritation and only mild pain relief. Oral ketamine has been suggested by the unit medical director.
Ketamine is a, "rapid-acting general anesthetic producing an anesthetic state characterized by profound analgesia, normal pharyngeal-laryngeal reflexes, normal or slightly enhanced skeletal muscle tone, cardiovascular and respiratory stimulation, and occasionally a transient and minimal respiratory depression".3 Ketamine's minimal effect on muscles makes it a preferred anesthetic for procedures that do not require skeletal muscle relaxation. Ketamine is a Class III controlled substance, therefore, prescribers must be registered with the DEA and licensed to prescribe controlled substances in the state of their practice.
WHICH PATIENTS MAY BENEFIT THE MOST FROM KETAMINE?
Ketamine can be effective and generally well tolerated for patients with difficult-to-treat central pain, painful peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuropathy, orofacial pain, fibromyalgia pain, stump or phantom limb pain, and cancer-related neuropathic or bone pain.1 The evidence base regarding the use of ketamine is primarily anecdotal consisting of case reports, case series and small uncontrolled trials. In these reports, ketamine is most commonly used in conjunction with an existing opioid regimen.
No specific route has been shown to be more effective than another for managing pain.1 Due to the various dosing strategies, ketamine use should be individualized to the patient and based on prescriber experience or established protocols.
Dose may be titrated in steps of 10-25mg up to 100mg Q.I.D.
Maximum reported dose in the literature is 200mg Q.I.D.
For PL, whose pain is assessed as neuropathic and refractory to standard pain management strategies, ketamine may have a role in controlling his pain. PL's blood pressure is currently controlled without medication, however, ketamine has the potential to increase blood pressure so vital signs should be monitored closely. He should be frequently monitored in the IPU and titrated carefully based upon the information above.
PL was initiated on oral ketamine compounded solution 100mg/mL at 0.25mL (25mg) PO T.I.D. His oral dexamethasone and IV hydromorphone infusion were continued as well as the duloxetine for depression. His pain management was monitored using a visual analog scale and non-verbal cues when he wasn't able to verbalize. His blood pressure increased slightly but blood pressure lowering medication was deemed unnecessary. Over the next 24 hours, he was titrated to 50mg PO T.I.D. where he achieved adequate pain relief. In the following 72 hours, his hydromorphone IV continuous rate was decreased by 25% to 16mg/hr and 5mg bolus every 15 min as needed. After the 4th day in the IPU, oral ketamine was tapered off. PL passed away peacefully and pain-free 24 hours later.

Amreeta from Bridges Out of Poverty popped along to The Experience to talk about education people about poverty in order to overcome it.
On this podcast so far we have spoken to precious few organisations that deal with poverty. But all that changes with this episode as I speak to Amreeta Graham from Glasgow's Bridges out of Poverty.
Bridges out of Poverty seeks to foster a greater understanding about poverty in individuals and communities. One of their key aims is to communicate clearly to the world what poverty is and how it becomes so entrenched, and to use that knowledge to empower people and communities to lift themselves out of poverty.
The organisation offers a number of programmes and workshops, with the overall goal being to strengthen the understanding of poverty and how it relates to the dynamics that cause and sustain poverty at all levels. Bridges out of Poverty views this educational process as vital to helping people, organisations and communities to find new ways of solving the problems caused by poverty.
On the face of it this appears to be fairly self-evident – the best way to address poverty is to change the way people think about it – but attitudes across the board from all sections of society are fairly well ingrained. Bridges out of Poverty wants to strengthen the understanding of what causes poverty and why. It aims to change attitudes through education, and provide a broader and deeper understanding of how economic class impacts all areas of our lives.
Amreeta cares very passionately about the work that Bridges out of Poverty do, and you can hear that boundless enthusiasm come across very well in this interview.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It was certainly a pleasure to talk to her.

Definitely not keeping a lid on this one. Well... heres a new reveal folks... this is about as far as I got with it, but heres the prelim for what I've thought up and come up with for my December personal art piece. I'm fighting a cold right now and its got my head feeling like a water balloon and my overall being achy and my energy and attention span about as low as the caloric content of artificial sweeteners. But i hashed this out till I needed to take a break. And theres some definite retooling i want to do when I'm feeling better and take a second stab at it. But I'm excited for this new personal artwork for December, holiday themed and related but not super holiday-ish. When I get it done it'll be available to own as a print and digital print download.
Excited to work on it more. Fun idea if i do say so myself. I dunno, I could also be delirious from this cold. Might wake up tomorrow realize this isn't good at all. Haha, who knows.
Enjoying the Code Red tournament on twitch esportsarena and sippin coffee, sketching around on random stuff like this on my tablet when i feel the itch. Otherwise spacing out most of the time.
Ah sickness. How you vex me.
Stay well all! Being sick is annoying. Yet strangely freeing.

There is also a lot of talk about video streaming with the use of applications that make the process a lot easier than it is right now.
The number of people who are using applications is growing significantly every month. The most important thing to consider is that applications provide solutions to help people handle the hectic modern world more than ever before. That is the main reason why the year 2018 is going to be so promising and so important for the industry.
