Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article
Background: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a preventable, lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. FASD negatively impacts individual Indigenous communities around the world. Although many prevention interventions have been developed and implemented, they have not been adequately evaluated. This systematic review updates the evidence for the effectiveness of FASD prevention interventions in Indigenous/Aboriginal populations internationally, and in specific populations in North America and New Zealand, and offers recommendations for future work. Method: The MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, SocINDEX, and Informit databases were searched from inception to 22/08/2017 for all prevention and intervention papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, with results, targeting prenatal alcohol exposure and FASD in Indigenous populations. This review was limited to studies published in English and excluded interventions focusing on the workforce. All steps were completed independently by two reviewers with discrepancies resolved via consensus with the senior author. Results: There was significant heterogeneity in the ten included studies. Populations targeted included non-pregnant women of child-bearing age, pregnant women, school children and the general public. Study designs included one randomised controlled trial, five cohort studies with pre-post design, one cross-sectional study with different pre- and post-intervention groups, and four studies collected post-intervention data. Studies assessed changes in knowledge, and/or changes in risk for prenatal alcohol exposure including self-reported alcohol consumption, use of birth control or a combination of both. One study was conducted in Australia and nine in the US. The methodological quality of all studies was rated as 'Poor' using the systematic review assessment tools developed by The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Studies were subject to substantial bias due to issues such as high loss to follow-up, lack of control groups and the reliance on self-report measures to assess the main outcome. Conclusion: Overall, there is little evidence that previous interventions aiming to reduce the risk of prenatal alcohol exposure or FASD in Indigenous populations have been effective. Future intervention studies should address the cultural factors and historical context that are fundamental to successful work with Indigenous populations, and be designed, implemented and evaluated using rigorous methods. This systematic review was registered with PROSPERO, CRD42018086212.

County Dropped the Ball on Measure H Homelessness Funds, City Says
Complaint by City's housing director to County supervisor earns an apology from Supervisor Barger, and a promise the County will do better
By EDDIE RIVERA, Community Editor | Photograph of Kathryn Barger by JAMES CARBONE
Published : Thursday, March 28, 2019 | 4:41 AM
The City of Pasadena is not receiving its fair share of Measure H Homelessness funds from Los Angeles County, and Pasadena Housing Director Bill Huang Wednesday let County Supervisor Kathryn Barger know about it.
Huang's opportunity came Wednesday morning at a special meeting of Pasadena's City Council with Barger at City Hall.
His remarks prompted an apology and a promise from the Supervisor that the County would do better.
Following a June 2017 motion by Barger and Janice Hahn to provide funds to Pasadena's Continuum of Care, a group of housing support agencies, there has been no funding received, said Huang.
"It's been 21 months and counting," Huang told Barger at a joint Special Meeting of the supervisor and the Pasadena City Council. "And still the funds have not arrived."
Exacerbating the problem, said Huang, is the fact that during those 21 months, Pasadena's homeless numbers have increased significantly.
"So," said Huang, "there is a real need for those dollars."
Huang compared the County's lack of action to the state's HEAP program, which provides funds for emergency housing assistance. The state has performed far better than the County, Huang explained
"During the same amount of time," said Huang, "and with approximately the same amount of dollars, we received our funds quite some time ago,"
Huang then extrapolated Pasadena's housing needs over the next year, against the County's planned funding.
"We would like to pursue this idea of Measure H funds being allocated proportionate to our percentage of the homeless population, which is about 1.2 percent of the County's homeless population," said Huang.
"If you take that percentage," Huang continued, "and next year's (County) allocation is about $460 million, we would get about $5.5 million dollars."
"Instead," Huang explained, "We are scheduled to receive about $1 million." Huang then asked Barger to consider that the County use the same strategies for homelessness funding that the state does, in order to assure that Pasadena receives its share of funding proportionately, and on time. Huang also noted that the County currently dictates spending to the city, leading to a lot of funding that "doesn't fit" the city, and doesn't get awarded.
Barger responded that she was "disgusted" by the news and told Huang that she would introduce a motion "with regard to the way the San Gabriel Valley has been treated, and I am very, very irritated by this, to say the least."
Barger apologized to Huang "on behalf of the County," saying, "I am terribly sorry that the bureaucracy that I always hit the state for, has now hit the County, and I promise you that this will be taken care of."
But Councilmember Victor Gordo was not assuaged by Barger's apology or her promise.
"The County has completely mismanaged Measure H funds," said Gordo, after the meeting, "and denied Pasadena its fair share, and not just Pasadena, but all of the cities along the Gold Line corridor, who see more than most cities, the direct impact of the homeless population."
Gordo added, "The County should know that the cities along the Gold Line Corridor are not receiving their fair share of funds, but it's not just about their share of funds, it's also about the management of those funds, and giving cities the opportunity in the best possible way to address homelessness, and to mitigate the impacts of homelessness."

Jazz meets Classical at Sunset at the Abbey
Stage on the Lawn at GlastonburyAbbey
September 7, 2022 By Nina Wellford
Atlantic Symphony Orchestra is thrilled to announce the musical line-up for their pre-season opening event: Sunset at the Abbey, to be held on Sunday, September 11 at 4:30 pm at Glastonbury Abbey in Hingham. This annual audience favorite pairs members of the classical ASO Chamber Players with musicians from another genre - jazz, blues, Celtic or even country - in a "fusion" concert that captures the spontaneous joy of great music.
This year, Brendan Ryan, ASO flute, and Xiaopei Xu, ASO piano, are joined by the legendary artists of the Gray Sargent Jazz Quartet — Gray Sargent, guitar; Marshall Wood, bass; Joe Barbato, piano; and Gary Johnson, drums. Brendan and Xiaopei kick it off with a Latin-inspired classical set, then sit in for a couple of numbers in the Jazz Quartet's set filled with favorite jazz standards from the American Songbook.
The fact that Gray and Marshall were Tony Bennett's guitarist and bassist for the past 24 and 12 years respectively, tells you all you need to know about the caliber of these musicians. Joe, Gary and Brendan have had equally fascinating careers, and Xiaopei is a rising star in the classical world. The complete musical program and much more information about these stellar musicians can be found on the ASO website, www.atlanticsymphony.org.
Sunset at the Abbey takes place outdoors on the expansive lawn of Glastonbury Abbey, 16 Hull Street, Hingham. Audience members should bring chairs or blanket, a picnic, and lots of friends, including young music fans. The rain date will be Sunday, September 18, with a notice posted on the ASO website by 2:00, should it be needed. Tickets are $35 for adults and seniors, $10 for students, and youth under age 14 go free. Buy in advance at www.atlanticsymphony.org, or purchase at the gate.
ASO Managing Director, Hingham resident Karen Thompson, is excited to launch the ASO's new season with this lively combination. "Anyone who heard Gray and his trio at the ASO house-parties last winter knows that they are spectacular! Brendan and Xiaopei are playing virtuosic music as well - and it's always fun to see how our musicians combine." Thompson and the rest of the ASO eagerly look forward to the 2022/23 season, when they will be back at Thayer Academy's Performing Arts Center for their first full season of live performances since the pandemic. ASO will also celebrate Jin Kim's 25th year as Music Director. Complete details and ticket options may be found at www.atlanticsymphony.org.

Michael A. McBride
Established partnerships with more than 4,000 organizations that have annually enlisted nearly 90,000 volunteers to prepare millions of federal tax returns for disadvantaged filers.
Millions of low-and moderate-income residents have their tax returns completed and receive refunds from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) without paying a fee to third-party tax preparers, thanks to the skills and savvy of Michael A. McBride.
An IRS employee for 40 years, McBride has developed partnerships with more than 4,000 businesses, local governments and nonprofit organizations that provide space and recruit volunteers to help prepare tax returns without a charge for the elderly, the disabled, Native Americans, those with limited English proficiency and other underserved taxpayers.
Last year, almost 90,000 volunteers assisted with nearly 3.2 million tax returns under the IRS program run by McBride.
McBride said the outcome can be "life altering" for some people, with refunds sometimes comprising as much as a quarter of an individual's annual income.
"I've heard stories of single parents who didn't know they even qualified and sometimes didn't file for two or three years, get enough of a refund to change their standard of living," he said. Some have used the refund to make a down payment on a home, or buy a car to save hours commuting on public transportation.
But the taxpayers aren't the only ones who benefit from the Volunteer Return Preparation Program (VITA). In 2011, refunds from the program put $3.7 billion back into local economies.
McBride would like to see more people take advantage of the assistance to learn about the federal tax benefits for which they qualify.
"Everyone should receive credits and deductions and not everyone does," he said. "There are tons and tons of success stories of those who have received it and what it has done for them and their children."
Currently, McBride provides guidance to organizations throughout the United States, including local businesses, churches, nonprofits, local governments, national retail chains and membership organizations. They help raise awareness about the program, find volunteers and provide resources, such as locations for volunteers to assist tax filers. Internally, he provides direct leadership to more than 90 managers and employees of the program, and establishes and provides policies and guidance to more than 500 IRS employees.
One McBride innovation involved a strategy for helping non-resident aliens with limited English proficiency get Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) at the tax preparation locations. The ITIN keeps filers from using false Social Security numbers, which creates accounting problems for the IRS. During a two-year period, McBride convinced 132 volunteer organizations to participate, saving underserved taxpayers from being gouged by others who overcharge for the simple service.
"He is helping those who might not otherwise have the means or capability for helping themselves and who, in the past, have been taken advantage of," said Julie Garcia, director of Customer Assistance, Relationships and Education at the IRS. "He's making sure those taxpayers who meet our criteria know they qualify for tax credits and preparation for free."
McBride also oversees a grant program that awards more than $18 million dollars to organizations that extend services to underserved populations in hard-to-reach areas.
Even with these efforts, large numbers of people who need tax preparation assistance still are not aware that the IRS program exists. And, there still aren't enough volunteers, even with the 12,000 existing tax-preparation sites, to help everyone who needs the assistance.
One of the ideas McBride came up with to deal with this gap, was to partner with the White House Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships to tap into their network of faith-based organizations as well as the businesses, residents and students who belong to them.
His efforts led to a conference call, hosted by that White House office, with more than 350 organizations, resulting in numerous inquiries from individuals who are considering partnering with the IRS to offer the tax preparation services in their communities.
Recently, McBride approached the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, whose intended audience includes older Americans, the military and others that the IRS seeks to serve. He also has arranged for the IRS to partner with historically black colleges and universities and with the Temporary Assistance Program for Families and Children, and worked with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation that made funds available for tax preparation services in rural areas in four states.
"Michael McBride is instrumental in developing and maintaining critical partnerships," said Michael Beebe, an IRS colleague. "Our goal is to try to get as many people in the program as possible, and he works tirelessly to make it happen."

This blog is no stranger to me sharing the ups and downs of this Nurture adventure and how it has affected me personally. Admittedly, despite the fact that I have committed to making (really delicious, organic) lemonade out of some metaphorical lemons, I am still struggling with how best to share with you what is going on now.
The truth? Not a single person signed up for the spring retreat, which is set to happen next week.
Insert: all the normal human reactions to this type of situation. Anxiety. Fear. A feeling of failure. Self Pity. Yep, the ugly kind. The mindless inhalation of way more than the 'recommended serving' of crispy, salty food.
Also the truth? This past month has been filled to the brim with magical encounters, collaborative projects, serendipitous miracles and kind words from strangers that are the experiential equivalent of someone tatooing "THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE MEANT TO DO" across my forehead, backwards, so I could read it daily in the mirror.
I mean, I got this compliment, which I am holding close to my heart in the shaky times. A gentleman came up to me at an event I catered and said: "Did you make this? It's incredible. I can taste the fact that you selected your produce with love." Nurturers, for those of you that know me, this was the ultimate in compliments. Me in the produce section is essentially an organic courtship ritual and HE TASTED IT!!!
Insert: the feeling that all is as it is meant to be. Exhilaration. Groundedness. Freedom. The consistent need to pinch oneself to see if this is real. A feeling of soul-deep confirmation.
So, the juxtaposition of these two opposite states of being had me on my couch crying in my sister's arms last week. It was like I was looking from one situation to the other and wrecking myself with the fact they weren't joining.
I finally got some peace when I stopped asking why. When I recognized that I may never be granted insight into why I am, for all appearances, hosting a spring retreat for crickets.
I remembered that I have been shown this closed door so I may recognize the fresh breeze entering from a window I may otherwise not have noticed. The message that seems to be resonating across the board is: pivot and change, my friend. More will be revealed.
All well and good to receive that message, but what to actually do with that? How to shape it in such a way as to 'make the lemonade', as it were?
Here's what I decided to do, which is best described by sharing a letter I wrote. I sent this letter out to those that came immediately to mind in my own circles (some of whom signed up (1000 yays!) others of whom sent their regrets) and now I am sending it out to you, dear Nurturer, who happens to be reading this post in a timely way. Should you be interested, please send me an email!
As a fellow entrepreneur, I think you'll understand that not everything always goes as planned (#amiright?!). I am finding myself faced with a situation that from a certain angle could be seen as a problem, but am writing to you today to invite you to be part of the solution, should it resonate.
The reality is that despite plenty of interest and resonance with my online following (for whatever unknown reason – it remains a mystery), I have yet to have anyone sign up for the retreat that is coming up April 25-27th (that's next Tuesday-Thursday).
While I remain hopeful for last-minute sign-ups and miracles, I am humbly determined to see this retreat happen and time is of the essence! The facilitators are incredible, the menu is delicious (!!!) and the venue is reserved and non-refundable. In the spirit of being intentional about what could otherwise be seen as a drawback (ie: having to cancel and positioning this as a 'failure'), I have decided instead (for this one time only) to offer the retreat 'at cost' to a select group of individuals whom I perceive to be relevant to the support of its growth. You are one of them, as I deeply value you as a woman, an entrepreneur, an intuitive soul and a friend. I also think it's the kind of retreat you would really enjoy attending and get a lot out of personally.
What I'm offering: a Pay-What-You-Can spot for you at Nurture starting at minimum $500.00. This will reserve your spot and will help cover the base costs of food and venue rental and allow me to honour my contracts to pay my facilitators.
After the retreat, having experienced the full experience (worth $1533.00), you will be given an opportunity (under no obligation) to add to this amount in whatever way feels right to you, according to a combination of what you can afford and what you personally got out of the experience. This will help cover the workshop materials and other miscellaneous expenses and should there be anything remaining it will be humbly and gratefully accepted as acknowledgement of my own contribution. There is no expiry date on this option – if you can't afford more than $500 now and feel moved to contribute at a later date, or in some creative in-kind fashion, that is also wholly appreciated.
I am hopeful that by your attending, you might also be willing to keep a few key factors (I would send you a brief list) in mind while enjoying your experience, and we could revisit them upon our return and at your convenience, focus group-style. This is so I might get an honest sense for how to best position my future marketing to be sustainable and successful. In addition, I would deeply value your assistance in promoting our fall retreat, having experienced the magic of Nurture for yourself.
If this resonates, please let me know via email and you can then, once confirmed, send $500 via etransfer to connect@nurtureretreats.com with the password NURTURE to reserve your spot (spots are first-come, first-served and will go quickly for this offer).
If you would like to learn more about what goes on at Nurture, may I recommend this post.
Wishing you a great evening, and many thanks for supporting me in this solution! Here's to miracles!!
Nurturers – this was not an easy email to write, send, or share with you here today. I'll be the first to admit I'd much rather you all believe that my life is as 'perfect' and 'successful' as it appears to be on Instagram and this website, despite authenticity being a large part of my brand and my personal value system.
The truth is, the things I normally share here that others might consider vulnerable I share with relative ease, because I have already dealt with them in my heart before sharing.
This means no one can really sway me on it because I've already looked it in the eye and come to a personal understanding. In this case, I'm still having that conversation, so it's significantly scarier for me to share and sometimes the doubting voices are stronger than the ones that know all is going to be okay. The thing that gives me courage is I know I am not alone in this experience. I know you also have those thoughts, it's what bonds us – our humanity in the face of what triggers us. Not only our darkness, but our light as well, as Marianne Williamson so gracefully puts. But, in all seriousness, what changes all of this is the reality that our lives ARE perfect just the way they are – ups AND downs. We are always inherently successful, 100% of the time, when we align with how good it feels to tell the truth, even when things don't work out the way we planned or if the reasons for some things remain a mystery. I look forward to sharing what is revealed as it happens.
P.S. At the time I'm pressing Publish, I have spaces for up to six more women to attend with this special offer. Spaces are first-come, first-served.
Thank you for sharing. The price decrease drew my attention, but I'm glad I read through the entire blog post. If I could, I would sign up in a heart beat. I hope each woman who is able to sign up at such last minute will strengthen your business and gain the world for themselves.
Thank you so much for being vulnerable! You helped me so much today. I am going through a similar experience. It's good to know I'm not alone.

The Journal's production process includes three stages:
Cite Check
Cite Check is the first stage of the production process. This stage involves Staff Editors thoroughly checking each footnote to ensure the footnotes support the corresponding assertions and reflect accurate citation formatting according to the 19th Edition BlueBook. Senior Staff Editors review Staff Editors' work, checking that assertions are properly cited with appropriately formatted footnotes. In addition, the Senior Staff Editors will notify the Senior Managing Editor and Editor-in-Chief anytime a source cannot be found. The Senior Managing Editor or Editor-in-Chief may then contact the author for further guidance.
Line-by-Line
Line-by-Line is the second stage of the production process. In this stage, Staff Editors review the manuscript for typographical and grammatical errors. This stage is fulfilled by the Staff Editors physically marking up the manuscript in hard copy format. The Senior Staff Editors double check the corrections made by the Staff Editors and incorporate changes into the Microsoft Word manuscript version. Neither Staff Editors nor Senior Staff Editors are allowed to make material changes to the manuscript. Staff Editors and Senior Staff Editors are encouraged to comment when language is unclear, however. If the language is so unclear as to require rewriting, then the Senior Managing Editor or Editor-in-Chief will contact the author for his or her revision. After the Senior Managing Editor and the Editor-in-Chief review the work, the manuscript will be sent electronically to the author for review. This is an opportunity for the author to review our comments and corrections. Also, the author can recommend additional changes. The Journal values its relationships with authors. For this reason, author satisfaction of the revised manuscript is important to the Journal. The Journal's production process seeks to ensure that not only is the work product of high quality, but also that the author is happy with their manuscript.
Final Proof
Final Proof is the last stage of the production process. The Journal incorporates the author's changes into the manuscript, and the Staff Editors review the article once more for facial errors.
The production process is a thorough and highly meticulous process. Typically, the process takes between six and eight weeks.
Please contact us if you have any questions about the editing process.

Lollapalooza Day One: CHVRCHES, Travis Scott, Khalid, Arctic Monkeys & all the highlights from Grant Park, Chicago
Nathan McVay
The 2018 edition of Lollapalooza kicked off Thursday in Chicago's Grant Park with a jam packed lineup of today's current pop sensations.
Lollapalooza this year seems geared to the new wave of artists and not so much the big names of yesteryear, The Weeknd is slated as the first name on the bill this year, when it past years that slot has belonged to bands such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead and Paul McCartney. It seems this year, they are letting the young ones run the show.
The headliners on Thursday were led by Travis Scott, Arctic Monkeys, Khalid and CHVRCHES, Here's a roundup of Day 1 of Lollapalooza.
Travis Scott made waves when he announced his newest album would be dropping just two hours after his Lollapalooza headlining slot ended. Astroworld was a huge presence throughout his set, as the giant young crowd clamored for an early preview.
Scott debuted a few songs from his first album in two years and touched on his many older hits in a high energy packed show with several screens on stage and several rounds of smoke and bright neon lights.
Arctic Monkeys-
There is a lot that has changed with the Arctic Monkey since the last time they toured the festivals of the United States. The release of Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino took a lot of people by surprise. Gone were the huge guitar riffs and lead singer Alex Turner's soaring vocals and in were plenty of soothing pianos and a mystic low singing Turner.
Their headlining slot seemed a bit different too. The presence of songs like "Arabella," "Brainstorm," and "Do I Wanna Know?" Show that the band still have the chops to be one of the best rock bands on the planet, but there was a weird vibe that carried throughout the show. Their new songs sounded as good as they do on their record but don't quite carry the electricity that their earlier cuts do and that seemed to kind of keep their show from really ever elevating to a point that a Lollapalooza headliner should be at.
Khalid-
Few artists have had a better year than Khalid. The 20 year old from Georgia has been a major contributor on tracks by the biggest artists in music today but his soothing voice is the highlight of every track. His voice was the perfect thing to play out over the giant crowd as the sun set on the first day of 2018's Lollapalooza.
Khalid was joined on stage by Normani as they performed their hit "Love Lies" and their electricity and chemistry steamed on stage. The rest of the show was pitch perfect just like his voice.
CHVRCHES-
This band has grown so much since they first hit the scene over 5 years ago. Lauren Mayberry has evolved into a monster presence on stage, both vocally and physically. Their latest album Love is Dead really elevated them in terms of popularity and radio play and each of those songs really resonated during their Friday early evening set.
"Miracle" really popped and their ability to elevate their music into arena rock level status makes their shows can't miss. Plus having the National's Matt Berninger to come join on stage really elevates a show to another level. They definitely deserved their slot and they took advantage of the moment and played probably the best show of the day.
Other highlights were Frank Ferdinand playing in front of a huge crowd and bringing back early 2000's happiness by the soaring guitar riffs of "Take Me Out." Camila Cabello had one of the biggest hits of the year in "Havana" and played in front of a giant crowd singing with her on every word. The Wombats played at the hottest point of the day, but their boyish energy and upbeat melodies pushed their crowd to rock out.
Friday's highlights include Bruno Mars, The National, Post Malone, Brockhampton, James Bay and many more. Stay tuned to the AU for all the coverage! Photos by Taylor Mithelman.

The Spanner Crab, also known as Ranina Ranine, is most commonly caught in the tropical waters off the Queensland coast. Spanner Crab is a marine animal and inhabits inter-tidal waters to depths of more than a hundred metres, from sheltered bays to surf areas.
Ceas Premium Spanner Crab Meat undergoes a unique process which has taken years to develop. This involves only using top quality crabs and 100% pure product for meat processing.


This is a series of photographs from Tuborg`s old brewery in Hellerup, taken just before a major renovation was to begin in january 2006.
The brewery had been left unused for over ten years. Pigeons and graffiti-painters had been through the building, each in their own way creating a special atmosphere, which in combination with the elegance of the building´s interior, made it almost magical.

Q: getting the value in selection php I have this selection box if I choose other textbox will show and the problem is the data I put in there only get the value "other" even I put text in the textbox the only value it gets is "other" so what do you suggest me to do this.
I'm using $_POST['talent'] to get the value.
Talent:
    <select name="talent" onchange="if( this.value=='other' )   { this.form['other'].style.visibility='visible' }else     { this.form['other'].style.visibility='hidden' };" required/>
    <option value="Dancing">Dancing</option>
    <option value="Singing">Singing</option>
    <option value="other">Other</option>
    <input type="text" name="other" style="visibility:hidden;" />
    </select>

A: $_POST['talent'] will only return the value of the select element. If that value is 'other', that means that the user has selected that option. In that case, you need $_POST['other'] to get the value they typed into the box.
$talent = $_POST['talent'];
if ($talent === 'other')
  $talent = $_POST['other'];

A: You'll need to use $_POST['other'] to get the contents of the text box. Also, you need to put the text box after the </select>.
