China Tourist Attractions Temporarily Closed
Iuliia Tore
A number of popular scenic spots across China have been temporarily closed in a bid to avoid tourist gatherings and block the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Famous tourism sites, such as the Palace Museum in Beijing, Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai, West Lake in Hangzhou, Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, Pingyao Ancient Town in north China's Shanxi Province, have also stopped opening to visitors since January 24 or 25 due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The coronavirus has already caused a substantial impact on the tourism sector of countries popular amongst Chinese tourists such as Japan, Australia and Thailand as Chinese tourists have been urged by their government to stay home. SublimeChina's announcement reveals that the virus is also impacting the local Chinese tourism sector as some of the most popular tourist attractions like the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors, the Potala Palace and many others are now closed. Several countries are also ordering their airlines to halt flights to China, in an effort to minimize the chances of the virus making it to their lands.
"The good news is that the Chinese government announced the deployment of 52 medical teams and over 6,000 doctors and nurses to Wuhan to help fight with the virus and care for the infected people. Our government is making every effort to develop the vaccine to fight against the virus. It is estimated to be finished soon. We would like to tell our western travelers that the situation will get better soon and the virus will be controlled. Besides, our government has a rich experience in this matter since the war against SARS in 2003. I believe we will definitely do better than 2003 and the virus is believed to be defeated around 3-4 months when the weather turns warm," says Eric Wang, travel expert at SublimeChina.com.

Donaire teams up with Nievera for Yolanda survivors
December 4, 2013 by wsadmin
Filipino Flash's gloves fetch high price in auction
Bev Llorente ABS-CBN North America Bureau
LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Las Vegas Gastroenterology played host to Martin Nievera's "Martin at the Mandarin" on the Las Vegas strip. Nievera shared the stage with his sister Vicky in an intimate get-together attended by the "who's who" of the Las Vegas valley.
"I hope whatever we do tonight will be able to help rebuild the lives of the people affected by the typhoon. This is our own little way of saying we are here to help… I'm very confident that ABS-CBN Foundation will be able to handle the funds raised this evening," said Noel Fajardo of the Las Vegas Gastroenterology.
Nonito Donaire, along with the entire Donaire Family, was also in attendance.
Donaire's signed gloves auctioned for a whopping $8,500.
"Nonito Donaire's gloves for $8,500 plus six tickets to his next fight in Las Vegas," said Gloria Caoili.
Nievera said that although some kababayans are uncertain about where their donations go to, he assured everyone that with the ABS-CBN Foundation, all their hard earned donations are in good hands.
"Sagip Kapamilya and the ABS-CBN Foundation and I put my name on the line because I tell everybody it's the most reliable place to send your money. I've seen it myself and I won't touch any fund raiser that I'm not sure will get to the needy," he said.
Nievera also thanked the Las Vegas Gastroenterology for hosting the event.
"Dito naman sa Las Vegas, thanks to Dr. Fajardo for his generous, generous heart," he said.
Nievera is scheduled for another series of concerts in the east coast this week.

Conveniently packed in its own carrying case, the Magma comes with a 2900 mAh eNail battery, glass water bubbler, two coils, glass eNail connector.
While this is convenient way to enjoy the device, if you have an existing glass water pipe, the base of the Magma can easily attach with its dual-sized 14/18mm base adapter. You can then adjust the temperature over a range of four different settings that start at 574F and go up to 842F just by clicking twice. Whether you want to use it standalone or with a water pipe, loading the Magma is the same. With no attachment on the heating chamber, place some wax or concentrate into the atomizer. Then either attach the glass bubbler and carb if using the Magma on its own, or just the carb if combining with a water pipe. The base adapter is versatile in that it has both 14mm and 18mm width ridges and can also be turned around to expose the female end for a total of three different size fittings.


Bilingualism has been the cornerstone of Singapore's language policy since the People's Action Party (PAP) was elected to power in 1959. The policy entails an emphasis on using English and the mother tongue languages, particularly that of the three main ethnic groups: Mandarin for the Chinese, Malay for the Malay community and Tamil for the Indians. English was to become Singapore's working language, while the mother tongue would serve to strengthen an individual's values and sense of cultural belonging. The bilingualism policy has been implemented primarily through the education system, which requires students to study the English language and their respective mother tongues. In addition, annual campaigns are held to promote the learning and speaking of mother tongue languages as well as to encourage the use of grammatically correct English among Singaporeans. The Lee Kuan Yew Fund for Bilingualism was established in 2011 to help nurture a love for bilingual learning in young children.

Q: Convert text file to csv using shell script I have a file like this
InputFile.txt
JOB JOB_A
  Source C://files/InputFile
  Resource 0 AC
  User Guest
  ExitCode 0 Success
EndJob
JOB JOB_B
  Source C://files/
  Resource 1 AD
  User Current
  ExitCode 1 Fail
EndJob
JOB JOB_C
  Source C://files/Input/
  Resource 3 AE
  User Guest2
  ExitCode 0 Success
EndJob

I have to convert the above file to a csv file as below

How to convert it using shell scripting?

A: I used awk.
The separator is a tabulator because it's more common than a comma in the CSV format.
If you want a coma, you can simply change the \t -> ,.
cat InputFile.txt | \
awk '
 BEGIN{print "Source\tResource\tUser\tExitCode"}
 /^JOB/{i=0}
 /^\s/{
    i++;
    match($0,/\s*[a-zA-Z]* /);
    a[i]=substr($0,RLENGTH+RPOS)}
 /^EndJob/{for(i=1;i<5;i++) printf "%s\t",a[i];print ""}'

*

*The first line BEGIN writes header.

*The second line matches /JOB/ and only sets an iterator i as zero.

*The third line matches the blank on the start of a line and fills array a with values (it count on strict count and order of rows).

*The fourth part of the awk script matches EndJob and prints stored values.

Output:

Source
Resource
User
ExitCode

C://files/InputFile
0 AC
Guest
0 Success

C://files/
1 AD
Current
1 Fail

C://files/Input/
3 AE
Guest2
0 Success

Script using associative array:
You can change the script so that uses strict Source, Resource, User, and ExitCode values from $1 (first record) of lines, but it would be a little longer, and this input file doesn't need it.
cat InputFile.txt | \
awk '
 BEGIN{
  h[1]="Source";
  h[2]="Resource";
  h[3]="User";
  h[4]="ExitCode";
  for(i=1;i<5;i++) printf "%s\t",h[i];print ""}
 /^\s/{
    i++;
    match($0,/\s*[a-zA-Z]* /);
    a[$1]=substr($0,RLENGTH+RPOS)}
 /^EndJob/{for(i=1;i<5;i++) printf "%s\t",a[h[i]];print ""}'

A: with sed ... dont know if the order in the InputFile.txt is always the same
as Source, Resource, User, ExitCode, but if it is
declare delimiter=";"
sed -Ez "s/[^\n]*(Source|Resource|User) ([^\n]*)\n/\2${delimiter}/g;s/[ \t]*ExitCode //g;s/[^\n]*JOB[^\n]*\n//gi;s/^/Source${delimiter}Resource${delimiter}User${delimiter}ExitCode\n/" < InputFile.txt > output.csv

Visiting Brazil, an earthquake hits and separates a family from their beloved cat, Purrball. Purrball's mad dash leaves her lost in a jungle where she becomes fast friends with a very clever sloth named Burrball. The two quick-witted animals embark on a journey to find Darryl, the loving and loyal boy who longs for his adorable missing cat. Witty word rhythms and rich illustrations make Purrball Meets Burrball in Brazil an engaging read-aloud story. An alluring tale of friendship, family, ingenuity, and persistence.
I'm crazy about both domestic and wild animals and it is a passion that just gets deeper all the time. I've done a lot of research on cats (on nutrition and behavior) as well as love to build cat structures and make toys for them. And, I do not know who could look at a sloth and not smile! They have the sweetest faces and they have so much more to them than the " sloth" slowness we think of. They're rather industrious buggers and have some funny quirks, like the wildlife that grows in their fur. I firmly believe they should never be pets and should be kept wild. While the story is pure fantasy (as are stories where animals communicate with phones!), I really want to keep one a pet and the other wild and be true to my feelings about that and it would be so lovely to pass all that along to children!
I think my grandson would love this book!

Now and then I suffer from RSI (repetitive stress injury), from too much time on the keyboard: my fingers feel stiff and painful, arms and shoulders get tired, and so on. I know I should move around more, type less, etc., but when I've got a lot to do, it's hard to know when to stop.
Prior to installing WorkRave, I had pictured myself as too easily distracted – always jumping up to go to the bathroom, go for coffee, or do household chores. Now I'm surprised at how quickly those 15- and 45-minute chunks fly by. Heeding the reminders to take a break does seem to be helping my hands, too – I feel worse on days when I've chosen to Skip or Postpone them too often.
If you spend too much time on the keyboard and your body is letting you know it (or better, before it does), I highly recommend installing WorkRave. And the price is right: it's open source.
2013: Two years ago I switched to the Dvorak keyboard layout, which helped far more than anything else I've tried in a long history with RSI.

What happened to the Star-Spangled Banner's missing star?
Decades of careful restoration and study have revealed a lot about the flag that flew over Fort McHenry after its defenders fought off a naval attack during the War of 1812: the swatches taken as mementos of the pivotal battle, the areas worn by time, perhaps even sections damaged by British mortar fire.
But a gaping hole at the center of the original Star-Spangled Banner presents a question that no one has been able to answer: What happened to the missing star?
"It's a major mystery," said Lonn Taylor, a retired historian who helped the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History reconstruct the story of the flag in the century after it left the fort and before it entered the museum's collection.
The storied flag is getting increased attention as Baltimore and the country celebrate the 200th anniversary of the song that would become the national anthem. On Saturday the flag will be displayed for the first time with Francis Scott Key's original manuscript, on loan from the Maryland Historical Society.
For those who have studied the flag, the mystery of the missing star deepens its meaning. The answer may be found in how the banner's legend grew along with that of Key's verse. It was a war hero's keepsake, a family heirloom, a military relic — and finally a revered symbol of national resilience.
"It tells a story," said Suzanne Thomassen-Krauss, the textile conservator who maintains the flag at the museum in Washington. She believes somebody cut out the star for posterity in the 1800s. "It would be telling to know who got the star and why."
There's no hard evidence to explain what happened to the star. It's not there in the first known photograph of the banner, taken in 1873 in Boston. Some believe it was given to President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War; others have guessed that it went to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. It could have been destroyed.
Thomassen-Krauss thinks the star could just as likely be in the attic of someone who has no notion of its significance. That's what happened with other pieces of the flag that have surfaced in recent years.
Only since the 1990s have historians gotten a firm grasp on the flag's travels through the 1800s.
For most of that time, the banner was in possession of the descendants of George Armistead, commander at Fort McHenry during the bombardment on Sept. 13 and 14, 1814. It's not clear whether it was given to the popular military leader or whether he took it on his own accord, but he left it to his family when he died in 1818.
Though the flag had personal significance to the Armistead family, its cultural meaning was less clear-cut until Key's poem about the battle gained in popularity. Originally titled "Defence of Fort McHenry," it was set to music, then took on added importance amid the patriotic sentiment of the Civil War.
The military began to use the song in ceremonies in the 1890s, and "The Star-Spangled Banner" became the national anthem in 1931.
In fact, the flag — originally 30 feet by 42 feet — is only the larger of two that historians believe flew during and after the bombardment. There is no official account of what happened to the smaller banner.
Over the decades, Armistead's family allowed many people to cut off and keep fragments of the flag. Though it's hard to believe today that anyone would alter such a historic object, those who have worked with the flag say it reflects the level of interest and pride in the flag during that era.
"I think it adds to the story," said Amanda Shores Davis, executive director of The Star-Spangled Banner Flag House on East Pratt Street, the former home of Mary Pickersgill, who sewed the colors for Fort McHenry. (The museum has several pieces of the flag.) "It says something about this 19th-century culture of collection."
Societies have long cherished such items, Taylor said. People have retained the bones of saints for centuries. Germans held on to historic memories embedded in pieces of rubble from the Berlin Wall. And Baltimore's 9/11 memorial features items from the Pentagon and World Trade Center.
Taking fragments of the flag "relates, I think, to the human desire to preserve relics," Taylor said.
Davis believes the distribution of the fragments also speaks to the way the veneration of the flag evolved alongside verses of the "Star-Spangled Banner."
"Even without the song, it's almost as if they were separate entities until the anthem was established," she said.
But Key's poem did boost the Armisteads' awareness of the broader interest in the flag, according to Taylor's study on the subject, "The Star-Spangled Banner: The Flag that Inspired the National Anthem." Around the time of the Civil War, family members began to talk with historians about its existence.
In 1873, one of the Armisteads shipped the flag to Boston so it could be photographed by naval historian George Preble, who would do extensive research on it — and take several clippings of his own.
Several ensuing exhibitions increased the visibility and popularity of the flag, and the family would ultimately give it to the Smithsonian.
Because there are no photographs of the flag showing all of the stars, historians can only guess when the missing star was removed. The family only left one clue about what might have happened to it, as Georgiana Armistead Appleton wrote in 1873 that "the star was cut out for some official person."
Henry T. Armistead, a retired Philadelphia-area librarian who is George Armistead's great-great grandson, said he has no idea what happened to the star.
He feels a strong connection to his ancestry — he owns a historic Rembrandt Peale portrait of George Armistead — but does not know of anybody in the family with an account of the star.
"It looks horrible," he said. "But it was part of the tradition, apparently."
Some written accounts have reported that Lincoln might have been the recipient, but Taylor doubts that. Armistead family members who had the flag sympathized with the Confederacy during the Civil War, said Taylor, who has found no record in Lincoln's papers of his receiving it.
"I can pretty much surely say that the star is missing because it was hit by a British mortar shell," he said.
Thomassen-Krauss, the textile conservator, doesn't believe that could be true.
There's stitching around the hole where the star would have been, she said, adding that it's unlikely anybody would have bothered with that so soon after the battle. Besides, she said, there's a damaged area below the stars that might explain the account.
Unless the star is found, though, no one will know for sure. And the mystery will keep visitors to the Smithsonian guessing, wondering and imagining.
Davis said it's natural for the bombardment to spring to mind when looking at the flag.
"It's no wonder why we have this sort of … anecdotal history of bombs flying through the flag," she said. "I'd love to get my hands on that star."

How can I prevent hydronephrosis?
Since hydronephrosis is caused by an underlying condition, prevention depends on avoiding or promptly treating the cause. For instance, the chance of developing a kidney stone may be reduced by changing to a oxalate controlled diet and staying well-hydrated. Some medications may be prescribed for patients who are prone to developing kidney stones.
Seek treatment immediately if you experience severe pain in the side or abdomen, vomiting, or a fever above 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit.


A Guest Article for REVITALIZATION by Mark Coleman, Dennis Minano, and David Kirshenbaum.
A robust and functioning infrastructure is the backbone and critical circulatory system that powers our economy, delivers us clean potable drinking water, provides power, facilitates transportation of goods and services, and generally advances our health and prosperity. Without a resilient, reliable and efficient infrastructure, the ability for America to meet the needs of its people, let alone remain competitive in a global economy, is drastically diminished.

Across America there are thousands of run-down and dilapidated sites, bridges, roads and tunnels that are in dire need of repair. Such sites were once part of thriving communities and the efficient delivery of goods and services.
Development of "greenfield" sites has, in recent years, taken precedence over the revitalization of underutilized or diminishing properties, further exacerbating the economic and environmental decline of already distressed properties.
For America to successfully recalibrate and advance its economic future, it must necessitate, within its proposed national and state infrastructure plans, the smart reuse and uplift of underperforming sites while upgrading inefficient infrastructure to renewed and functioning.
The 53-page framework seeks to have Congress act on a $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill that enables America to transform/upgrade existing and construct new, efficient, resilient and modern infrastructure. This framework extends the traditional focus of infrastructure beyond roads, tunnels, bridges and airports – and focuses on critical systems including drinking and wastewater, energy, public lands, veterans' hospitals, brownfield and Superfund sites, rural infrastructure and aspects of workforce development.
If the highly partisan political climate in America over the past 12 months is any indication of what to expect in the next 12 months, we are all in store for more entertainment, impasse, intrigue, indecision and ultimately little, or at best a watered down legislative result. Unfortunately, all Americans fall victim to inefficiencies within our political and governance systems. The infrastructure that enables America to thrive is one which focuses political will, resources decision making on the common discourse and universal uplift of the American people and the U.S. economy.
America's infrastructure is outdated, and in many regions of the country this obsolescence is creating real risks to human health and environment as infrastructure continuously crumbles before our eyes. The Band-Aid approach to pass piecemeal budgets for keeping the lights on, whether it's in city, county, state or federal government operations, further exacerbates the severe state of need America's infrastructure poses.
Private markets and industry are critical partners in restoring America's infrastructure. They require capital and industrial partners including rail, automotive, energy, technology, engineering and other enterprises to support how we can collaboratively finance, design, build, restore and reinvent infrastructure in America.
At stake is the ability for all Americans to have access to basic services as well as the capacity to grow our communities and economy in sustainable ways. Capital markets cannot plan for and don't respond well to a government which operates inefficiently and erratically. While there are always financial risks to the allocation of capital for public works and infrastructure projects, such risks can be mitigated when leaders work together. Moreover, any strategic direction of capital allocations starts and ends with governmental entities.
What we need is a blueprint for building better partnerships, between governments and the private sector. This blueprint has precedent in many well-conceived and executed examples of partnership success. There are, throughout America and across the globe, examples of public-private partnerships that yield consequential outcomes and impacts for all stakeholders. If, in America, we continue to view our worlds as one comprised of a series of competing factions, then our outcomes will remain fractured and the impact/uplift we collectively seek will never be realized.
There is no better example of integrated partnerships than those which have resulted in economic uplift and the restoration of properties once viewed as significant environmental liabilities under federal programs like Superfund. There is no doubt that partnership building is hard work and requires collaboration, effort, flexibility and vision. But there has been a growing body of evidence to show that such partnerships are worth the effort and generate economic, policy and societal benefits.
For example, since 2011, The Nature Conservancy and Dow Chemical Company have collaborated on numerous projects to advance knowledge around the unique role ecosystems play in supporting the resiliency and security of our natural and built environments. Their leading-edge work has advanced the science and economics of ecosystem services, discovering that environmental restoration goes hand-in-hand with economic impact and the ability for natural systems to yield better community and business outcomes.
The 2016 report also states that by 2025, Dow will deliver $1 billion in value through "projects that are good for business and better for nature." The Nature Conservancy and Dow have begun transitioning their collaborative research into action. In Freeport, Texas and Tarragona, Spain, they have, for example, verified that nature-based technology and ecosystem services lead to cost-effective water management, reliability and treatment solutions.
In California corporations have worked closely with local municipal, city and state partners and jurisdictional water districts to address water concerns ranging from water clean-up to restrictions and uses that work toward common-sense solutions that mutually impact the region. For example, since 2011 Sacramento-based Aerojet Rocketdyne has worked with regional partners including Golden State Water Company and the Carmichael Water District to divert and deliver up to 4.5 million gallons of water per day to Golden State customers.
The public-private partnership, "American River Pipeline Conveyance Project," has resulted in a comprehensive and integrated provision of benefits including regional riverbed restoration, strategic water diversion and recovery, enhanced water management and reliability, beneficial reuse of remediated groundwater, and economic savings.

In Baltimore, Maryland, stakeholders including the city, developers and Honeywell Corporation have worked together to determine a higher end-use for Harbor Point. Harbor Point is a waterfront property whose historic beginnings and future potential had been saddled by decades of industrial contamination.
But through an integrated effort and unique partnership, the site is on the cusp of a social, economic and environmental resurgence which stands to create more than 7,000 construction jobs and more than 6,000 permanent jobs through a 10-year $1B investment to restore the contaminated property into a bustling mixed-use renaissance that redefines city life in Baltimore.
Of greater consequence, and within a stone's throw of the Honeywell project is another, more substantial, burgeoning success story—a project known as Tradepoint Atlantic. Once known as "Sparrows Point" and for more than a century featuring among the largest operating steel mills in the nation (and the employer of 30,000+ employees), the mill ultimately suffered a series of debilitating bankruptcies.
A private-public partnership led by Hilco Real Estate and a large Baltimore based private equity co-investor, environmental partners, state, county and city governmental entities as well as federal and state environmental regulators is transforming the 3,100-acre site into a modern tri-modal regional economic engine.
Ultimately, 17,000 or more jobs, $3 billion in economic impact and hundreds of millions of new taxes will be generated as a result of this shared vision and investment. As a result, a fallow reminder of America's heavy industrial-focused past will become a 21st century modern service, logistics and distribution hub that will greatly enhance the local and regional economy and serve companies, communities and taxing authorities.
Each year, billions of dollars are being reserved and spent (by U.S. corporations) on the cleanup of existing environmental liabilities, as well as the continued operations, maintenance and monitoring (OMM) of remediated and soiled sites.
However, too often former and current regulatory clean-up standards have not provided a framework for public-private partnerships. As a result, corporations remediate contaminated properties under the letter of the outdated and narrowly focused law, but such laws don't often offer incentives to align a corporation's assets (remediated properties) with the highest and best public uses for such properties which could, particularly in our current environment, maximize economic potential for communities all across the U.S.
As discussed above, public-private partnership models focused on integrated infrastructure investments have been deployed with notable success. Adopting the best practices from these models in conjunction with a more forward-thinking regulatory regime can yield a national framework by which America can expedite environmental clean-ups in-step with pragmatic solutions for economic recovery, growth, and development – particularly in communities significantly hit by the economic downturn of the past decade.
To be clear, efforts such as those noted above have required the highest degree of trust, coalition-building, and focused teamwork among a variety of constituents with divergent agendas and access to resources. This is not easy work and resources and political will remain in critically short supply.
But in working together, government, civil society and private enterprise can turn former environmental liabilities into local and national assets that restore urban areas, advance local quality of life, and contribute to the goal of economic prosperity for all. As such, environmental transformations can act as both an economic catalyst and a model for other more substantial future successful infrastructure projects across the country.

Ecotourism accommodation planned for Western Australia's Millstream Chichester National Park
Palm Pool in Millstream Chichester National Park in Western Australia is set to feature new ecotourism accommodation with approval for a lease given to the Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation (YAC).
Millstream Chichester National Park is a national park in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, located 1,190 kilometres north of Perth.
The opportunity for an ecotourism development at Palm Pool was co-ordinated by the WA Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA).
DBCA is the Western Australian government department responsible for managing lands and waters described in the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984, the Rottnest Island Authority Act 1987, the Swan and Canning Rivers Management Act 2006, the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority Act 1998, and the Zoological Parks Authority Act 2001, and implementing the state's conservation and environment legislation and regulations. The Department reports to the Minister for Environment and the Minister for Tourism.
DBCA was formed on 1st July 2017 by the merger of the Department of Parks and Wildlife, the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority, the Zoological Parks Authority and the Rottnest Island Authority.
Covering an area of approximately 200,000 hectares around the Fortescue River, Millstream Chichester National Park is set among a stunning natural landscape of ancient volcanic ranges, tablelands, escarpments and water systems.
Palm Pool is the perfect destination for campers and adventure travellers with water year-round; visitors can swim, canoe, kayak or enjoy one of the several walk trails around the site.
Millstream Chichester National Park is also a popular destination for nature enthusiasts with more than 120 species of bird, 30 species of mammal, 150 species of reptile and 500 species of plants found in the park.
The Western Australia Government's decision to upgrade and seal the Karratha-Tom Price Road aims to improve access to Millstream Chichester National Park and improve the viability of the proposed development with park visitation to increase.
The successful submission from YAC included 25 glamping-style safari tents, caravan and camping sites, as well as a restaurant.
The WA Indigenous Tourism Operators Council (WAITOC), supported by Tourism Western Australia, will market this new Aboriginal tourism offering along with others in the region – which continues to be a growing area of interest for overseas visitors.
This development is part of the State Government's Two Year Action Plan for Nature-Based Tourism in Western Australia initiative.
WA Environment Minister Stephen Dawson notes "the McGowan Government is committed to developing quality, environmentally sensitive tourism accommodation experiences in WA's national parks.
"The traditional owners of this area, the Yindjibarndi people who are represented through YAC, maintain strong cultural connections to their land and are supportive of sharing their culture through tourism."
WA Tourism Minister Paul Papalia added "the unique natural and cultural attractions of Millstream Chichester National Park are a magnet for tourists – with the park attracting more than 49,000 visits last financial year.
"I look forward to WAITOC working successfully with the YAC to market this fantastic new accommodation initiative that is eco-friendly, provides an opportunity to experience indigenous culture and also supports the livelihoods of local people."
Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation Chief Executive Michael Woodley advises "The Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation is excited to be granted an opportunity to develop an eco-retreat on Yindjibarndi Country at Palm Pool following a competitive tender process.
"The opportunity could enable new employment opportunities for our people on Country and provide the basis for Yindjibarndi people to share and educate national and international visitors about our Culture.
"Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation looks forward to developing an ongoing partnership with the State Government, which is crucial to the project's eventual development."

D. Acquisitions and other additions to the scope of consolidated financial statements
The following entities were included in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the first time during the business year 2017/18:
Name of entity
Interest in %
Date of initial consolidation
Full consolidation
voestalpine Automotive Components Tianjin Co., Ltd.
voestalpine Rotec Coating SRL
voestalpine Böhler Welding Austria Vertriebs-GmbH
voestalpine Böhler Welding Automation GmbH
voestalpine Additive Manufacturing Centre Ltd.
voestalpine Böhler Welding Germany Vertriebs-GmbH
voestalpine Böhler weldCare AB
The additions to the scope of Consolidated Financial Statements of fully consolidated entities include one acquisition, five newly established subsidiaries, and the consolidation of one entity not previously included in the scope of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In accordance with IFRS 3, the acquired companies are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements at the fair value carried forward of the acquired assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities determined as of the acquisition date, including depreciation and amortization as appropriate. The carrying amount of the non-controlling interests is determined based on the fair values carried forward for the assets and liabilities acquired. With regard to the first-time full consolidations in accordance with IFRS 3, due to time constraints and the fact that not all valuations have been completed, the following items are to be considered provisional: property, plant and equipment; intangible assets; inventories; and provisions—and consequently goodwill as well.
The increase in majority interests is treated as a transaction between owners. The difference between the costs of acquisition of additional shares and the pro-rated carrying amount of the non-controlling interests is recognized directly in equity. During the reporting period, EUR 0.0 million (2016/17: EUR 3.8 million) was paid for the acquisition of non-controlling interests or provisions were formed for the payment thereof. Non-controlling interests amounting to EUR 0.0 million (2016/17: EUR 2.2 million) were derecognized and the remaining amount of EUR 0.0 million (2016/17: EUR 1.6 million) was recognized directly in equity.
Put options granted to non-controlling shareholders in exchange for their shares in Group companies are recorded in the statement of financial position as liabilities stated at fair value. If the risks and rewards associated with ownership of a non-controlling interest have already been transferred at the time the majority interest was acquired, an acquisition of 100% of the entity is assumed. If, however, the risks and rewards are not transferred, the non-controlling interests continue to be shown in equity. The liability is covered by a direct transfer from retained earnings with no effect on profit or loss (double credit approach).
Outstanding put options, which are offset against equity, had a fair value of EUR 0.4 million (March 31, 2017: EUR 0.3 million) as of March 31, 2018. For the purposes of the valuation, the discounted cash flow method was applied, taking the contractual maximum limits into account. Input factors in the discounted cash flow method include but are not limited to the medium-term business plan and the discount rate.
As of September 23, 2017, voestalpine Böhler Welding Group GmbH, which is part of the voestalpine Group's Metal Engineering Division, acquired 70.04% of the business of and voting shares in WELTRON GmbH, Germany, the welding automation specialist. This business combination now enables the Group to offer customers turnkey solutions and to expand its existing product range in the Welding Consumables business segment by control, steering, and regulating devices for welding plants. From now on, the company will be known as voestalpine Böhler Welding Automation GmbH.
On October 2, 2017, voestalpine High Performance Metals UK Limited, a company that is part of the High Performance Metals Division, acquired the business and selected assets of CMP Alloys Ltd. under an asset deal. CMP's strong presence on the Scottish market allows voestalpine High Performance Metals UK Limited to serve key global OEMs (and their supply chains) in Great Britain as well as to improve both customer proximity and customer service.
In December 2017, voestalpine Rotec GmbH, which is part of the voestalpine Group's Metal Forming Division, took over the CDC facilities of Barum Technik, a Romanian company, as part of an asset deal. From now on, the company will be known as voestalpine Rotec Coating SRL; it is domiciled in Timisoara, Romania.
These acquisitions have the following impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements:
Recognized values
Non-current assets
Non-current provisions and liabilities
Current provisions and liabilities
Net assets
Costs of acquisition
Cash and cash equivalents acquired
Net cash outflow
In millions of euros
Goodwill of EUR 0.3 million results from the profit potential of the company, which cannot be allocated to individual capitalizable items according to IFRS and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is assigned completely to the "Welding Consumables" unit, which carries the goodwill.
Since their initial consolidation, these acquisitions have contributed revenue of EUR 1.8 million to consolidated revenue. Their share of the Group's profit after tax was EUR 0.1 million for the same period. The consolidated revenue would have been EUR 1.3 million higher and the Group's profit after tax would have been EUR 0.1 million higher if the acquisitions had been consolidated as of April 1, 2017.
As part of the first-time full consolidation of voestalpine Böhler Welding Automation GmbH, fair values for trade receivables of EUR 0.1 million (gross carrying amount: EUR 0.1 million) were taken over. Receivables that are expected to be uncollectible are considered immaterial and negligible. Acquisition-related costs of EUR 0.1 million were recognized in other operating expenses for these acquisitions.
In the current reporting period, EUR 2.6 million were paid for earlier acquisitions made in accordance with IFRS 3.

Disposable blood bags are the biomedical devices used for collection, storage, transportation, and transfusion of blood and its components. In recent times, disposable plastic blood bags has replaced the usage of glass bottles due to problems associated with use of glass bottles including inadequate sterility, leading to blood contamination, and the presence of air bubbles resulted to severe complications during blood transfusion. Disposable plastic blood bags also help in the separation of blood components such as plasma, platelets, and cryoprecipitate, which are used to treat a range of blood disorders.
The global disposable blood bags market size was valued at US$ 230.1 million in 2017, and is expected to witness a CAGR of 12.1% over the forecast period (2018 – 2026).
Though the demand for blood transfusion is huge worldwide, there is a shortfall in blood supplies in low-income countries due to lack of a robust infrastructure for blood collection, distribution, and storage. In most of the emerging economies, there is no national blood service as a result organizations are struggling to provide blood to meet the needs of the population.
Moreover, the medical infrastructure is also poor in these countries. Patients, in need of blood transfusion, are often located at great distances from hospitals and clinics, pushing up mortality rates. Production of disposable blood bags is stacked due to the presence of numerous stringent standards and regulations starting from manufacturing to marking for disposable blood bags.
Key players operating in the global disposable blood bags market include AdvacarePharma, Fresenius Kabi, Grifols, HLL Lifecare, Haemonetics Corporation, Macopharma, Neomedic, Poly Medicure, SURU International, Span Healthcare, and TERUMO PENPOL. Use of biosafety materials in the manufacturing of blood bags and favorable support from government authorities is expected to create huge growth opportunities for disposable blood bag manufacturers.
Moreover, growing aging population, rising government initiatives, and increasing awareness for blood donation are major factors driving growth of the disposable blood bags market. For instance, according to the WHO report of 2016, approximately 112.5 million units of donated blood are collected annually worldwide. All these factors are expected to give significant thrust to the size of the global disposable blood bags market.
However, huge shortfall in blood supplies in low-income countries due to lack of a robust infrastructure for blood collection, distribution, and storage is hampering growth of the disposable blood bags market. In emerging economies, blood is primarily used to treat pregnancy complications and childhood anaemia. According to Safe Blood for Africa, nearly 15% of child mortality in Africa occur due to an inadequate or unsafe supply of blood for transfusion.

Barristers We Brief
"Lawyers" in the Criminal Defence Law profession generally fall into separate and distinct categories, "Solicitors" and "Barristers". Barristers form a separate part of the legal profession, and work in separate offices to solicitors called "Barrister's Chambers". Barristers are generally required to assist solicitors in serious criminal cases, often dealt with in the higher courts of NSW, such as the District Courts, or the Supreme Court of NSW.
Much like Specialist Doctors and GPs in the Medical profession, Barristers are instructed by solicitors to assist with particularly difficult cases that are dealt with in the higher courts, for example Murder or Manslaughter.
At LY Lawyers, we instruct Barristers of the highest calibre and reputation, with a wide range of Junior and Senior Counsel (also known as a "QC" or "SC") working with us on a regular basis.We have worked and continue to work with Barristers in various Chambers throughout Sydney, including:
Sir Owen Dixon Chambers- Winston Terracini S.C, Bart Vasic
Samuel Griffiths Chambers – Anthony Bellanto QC, Nicole Carroll, Adam Williams and others
Garfield Barwick Chambers- Greg James QC
Tom Percy QC (WA), Phillip Urquhart (WA),
Phillip Dunn QC (Vic)
Janice Crawford (QLD)
We have been very successful in defending serious criminal charges, working well with the Barristers we brief, both in Sydney and Interstate.
If you would like us to instruct a Barrister in your case, we are happy to introduce you to the various Barristers we brief to help us achieve the best result in your case.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to LY Lawyers. My husband just got his sentence at Parramatta District Court last week, expecting to be in jail a lot longer. He was charged with supplying commercial drugs. LY Lawyers represented him with great passion and commitment, all of their staff chipping in to get a short sentence. Only a year to go before he gets out!
It was a pleasure to work with LY Lawyers. They got me off from my charge. Could not thank them enough!
