I am an accomplished research leader capable of building multidisciplinary teams that develop innovative solutions to complex problems. I have an international reputation for improving health of communities by creating knowledge, translating it into real life scenarios and evaluating improvements for people, health care providers and funders. My work spans primary care, community care, hospital services, allied health, health promotion and wellbeing and health policy.
I have a clinical background as an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian and Exercise Physiologist, which has provided me with an understanding of the way health professionals and their services enable heatlh and wellbeing in people, groups and communities. My research career to date has been exemplary, as evidenced by multiple awards and accolades, including two NHMRC fellowships, a national award for excellence in PhD supervision, fellowships of learned societies and several awards for research excellence.
I am a collaborative, ambitious worker with a strong ability to bring people together and generate large-scale research endeavours that have maximum impact for health and wellbeing.

I continue to have an unbelievable summer (thank you all for putting up with my lack of reviewing and commenting, what a bad friend!) but I was inspired by Ingress77's return to CBR stats (congrats on the baby!) and decided to take advantage of my husband being out of the country for the week to work through 20+ book backlog. I'm going to review five at a time to avoid spamming the website over the next few days and figured I'd start with my first round of Bingo eligible reviews!
CBR 11 Bingo: And So it Begins…
The Magician's Nephew and (/or) The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (depending on your belief in the proper reading order) by CS Lewis
"For what you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing: it also depends on what sort of person you are."
I'd considered using one of these for "Youths!" but decided to combine these two into "And So it Begins" since there are two camps when it comes to the order Narnia books should be read. While Magician's Nephew is the last book CS Lewis wrote it is a prequel to the rest of the series and the events predate the first novel written, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, by several decades.
Polly and Digory are sent to another world by Digory's uncle, who fancies himself a magician, when he tricks Polly into touching his ring. They are transported to a multiverse type woods and they decide to explore a little before returning home. They end up in the desolate city of Charn where they run into an evil sorceress Jadis. The children escape from Jadis but the evil witch follows them back to England where she enslaves the magician and sets about taking over Earth as she did with Charn.
Polly and Digory manage to get the rings to transport Jadis, the magician and a nearby cabdriver out of London into a new world Aslan the Lion has created. Digory atones for his sin of bringing Jadis to London and is rewarded by Aslan with a magical apple tree. The tree is eventually cut down and turned into a wardrobe.
"She stayed behind because she thought it would be worthwhile trying the door of the wardrobe, even though she felt almost sure that it would be locked. To her surprise it opened quite easily…."
The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is one of the my favorite children's books because it is younger skewing without being too cutesy- it is very heavy on the religious symbolism but don't let that dissuade you from a fun, fantastical read. It is also the only Narnia book I'd read before this summer (other reviews are forthcoming) so it was a fun reread.
Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie are four English children who are displaced during WWII. They're sent to an old professor's house where one day Lucy discover's a magical wardrobe that leads to a wintery wonderland. Although her brothers and sister don't believe her story of the magical forest and the faun she had tea with her brother Edmund soon finds himself transported to Narnia as well. He runs into the White Witch, Jadis from the Magician's Nephew, and is convinced to bring his siblings into Narnia.
Back in Narnia Lucy discovers Mr Tumnus' house has been ransacked and his is missing; the Pevensie children meet the Beavers who tell them all about the evil witch as well as a prophecy about two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve who could bring her rule to an end. The Beavers also tell the children about the one true King, slash Jesus Lion, Aslan whose return is imminent. Edmund, who is a little shit, runs back to the White Witch and tells her all about Aslan's return.
I would say spoiler alert here but if you don't know the story by now you're probably never going to read the book so…
The Witch has decided to kill Edmund but Aslan, who has returned and brought Spring with him, trades his own life for Edmund's because Jesus.
Lucy and Susan stay with Aslan's body overnight crying but the next morning Aslan has come back to life, because Jesus, but also because the ancient magical rule which revives someone who willingly gives their life for a traitor. The Narnian's battle with the Witch and prevail; then Aslan kills the witch and crowns the children kings and queens of Narnia.
"Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia."
CBR 11 Bingo: Rainbow Flag
Too Much is Not Enough by Andrew Rannells
I first encountered Andrew Rannells as the gay best friend to Lena Dunham's insufferable Hannah on Girls but I think he is best known for his Tony nominated role in The Book of Mormon. His fantastic memoir, Too Much is Not Enough, doesn't focus on his success and fame but instead on the years leading to opening night of his Broadway debut as a featured extra in Hairspray. There are several advantages to the way Rannell's chose to write his life's story, namely that he can easily write a sequel, but most importantly it is an honest look at breaking into the theater world.
After a happy childhood in Nebraska that involved community and dinner theater roles Andrew made his way to New York as a college freshman studying theater at Marymount College. Unfortunately Andrew was never the best student and he eventually dropped out to audition full time. He survived on several small theater jobs before landing the lucrative payday as the flamboyant James in Pokemon Live! While he was not happy during his run in Pokemon he landed the lead in an Austin production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch which satisfied him creatively but unfortunately didn't lead to any bigger roles. Andrew's Broadway debut didn't happen until he was 26 years old, which is crazy to me because he didn't look a day over 24 in Girls, and it came at a big cost- namely his boyfriend who was up for the same role- but he comes across as appreciative for all his time spent struggling to make it.
Too Much is Not Enough is the perfect balance between humor and heart and Rannell's is a wonderfully open writer who shares the good and bad with his audience.
CBR11 Bingo: History/Schmistory
I read The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II about five years ago and enjoyed the story of the women in Oak Ridge who played integral roles, despite their lack of information, in the creation of the atomic bomb. The Atomic City Girls is set in the same Tennessee town that created the materials needed for the Manhattan Project to work. Unlike the nonfiction Girls of Atomic City, Atomic City Girls focuses on the fictional June Walker, an eighteen year old girl whose fiance was killed on the front lines, and her roommate Cici who hopes to land a rich husband before the war ends.
"What you see here, what you hear here, what you do here, let it stay here."
June finds herself smitten by her older boss, Sam, a physicist whose loose lips let slip what the secret city is really doing in the middle of nowhere. I think a lot of people are aware of the Manhattan Project but the men and women at Oak Ridge were integral parts of creating the A-bomb which, regardless on your feelings about the humanitarian ramifications, was one of the most impressive scientific feats of the 20th century. The Atomic City Girls has a healthy dose of romance and fictional story lines mixed in with interesting historical facts about one of the lesser known parts of WWII.
CBR11 Bingo: Far And Away
Malawi is an African country that most people have heard of because Madonna adopted a couple children from there a few years ago. The Boy Who Harness the Wind is the story of William Kamkwamba whose life was forever changed when drought and mismanagement by a corrupt government lead to country wide famine. William's family, farmers who were unable to even put food on the table, was no longer able to afford the tuition to his private school and he was forced to drop out. When he wasn't busy foraging for food William, as starved for knowledge as he was for food, began going to the library where he learned about windmills in a book called Using Energy.
"The pictures in the library book had provided the idea, hunger and darkness had given me the inspiration, and I'd set out myself on this long, amazing journey."
Eventually the primary school dropout taught himself how to create a windmill using a dynamo engine and rudimentary tools. With this he was eventually able to provide energy and running water for his family. His crude but effective windmill caught the attention of the newspaper which eventually led him to TEDGlobal in Tanzania. He continues to work with windpower and bettering the lives of the people of Africa.
While William's story is ultimately an uplifting story it is a difficult read at times. People were literally starving to death in 2002 and I most definitely skipped the part about him putting his starving dog out of its misery.

What is 5 Percent of 1000? (In-Depth Explanation)
5 percent of 1000 equals 50. To get this answer, multiply 0.05 by 1000.
You may need to know this answer when doing a math calculation, finding how much a product is on sale for, or figuring out the percent of the total amount of certain currencies.
Maybe you're looking for 5% of 1000 dollars, euros, Japanese yen, British pounds, or other currencies. Whatever the case is, below, you will find an in-depth explanation that will help you solve this equation.
You will also find the answer to how much a 5% discount is on an item worth 1000 dollars, euros, and pounds and the solution for 5% of 1000 dollars, euros, Japanese yen, British pounds, Chinese yuan, pesos, and rupees.
What is 5 percent of 1000?
5 percent of 1000 is 50. To figure this out, multiply 0.05 by 1000 to get 50 as the answer.
Another way to find the answer to this equation includes taking 5/100 and multiplying it by 1000/1. When multiplying these two fractions together, you will get a final answer of 50.
How do you find 5 percent of 1000?
By multiplying both 0.05 and 1000 together, you will find that 50 is 5 percent of 1000. The 0.05 represents 5% and is the result of taking 5/100 or 5 divided by 100.
The easiest way to solve this equation is to divide the percent by 100 and multiply by the number. So multiply 5/100 by 1000 to get 50.
What is 5% off 1000 dollars?
You will pay $950 for an item when you account for a discount of 5 percent off the original price of $1000. You will be receiving a $50 discount.
What is 5 percent of 1000 dollars?
5 percent of 1000 dollars is 50 dollars. When solving this equation, we multiply 0.05 by 1000, the 0.05 standing for 5% and 1000 representing 1000 dollars.
When referencing the dollar, people will likely be talking about the United States dollar (USD). However, sometimes other currencies are intended instead, like the Canadian dollar (CAD) or the Australian dollar (AUD).
The equation remains the same for calculating 5% of 1000 dollars for each of those respective currencies.
What is 5% off 1000 euros?
With a 5 percent discount, you will pay €950 for any item with an original price of €1000. You will get a discount of €50 off.
What is 5 percent of 1000 euros?
5% of 1000 euros is 50 euros. We use the same formula for calculating 5% of 1000 to get our answer of 50 euros.
The euro is the currency used by some countries in the European Union, such as France, Germany, and Italy.
What is 5 percent of 1000 Japanese yen?
5 percent of 1000 Japanese yen is 50 Japanese yen. If you're trying to solve 5% of 1000 Japanese yen, multiply 5% or 0.05 by 1000.
When you multiply these two numbers together, you will find 50 Japanese yen is your answer.
What is 5% off 1000 pounds?
If you get a 5 percent discount on a £1000 item, you will pay £950. In total, you will end up receiving a £50 discount.
What is 5 percent of 1000 British pounds?
Similar to other currencies, we multiply 0.05 by 1000 to get 50 British pounds. In this equation, 0.05 represents 5%, and 1000 stands for 1000 British pounds.
50 British pounds will be your answer once you multiply the two numbers together.
What is 5 percent of 1000 Chinese yuan?
5% of 1000 Chinese yuan is 50 Chinese yuan. The same formula that calculated 5% of 1000 of the other currencies can calculate 5% of the Chinese yuan.
You divide the percent by 100 and multiply it by the number. For this example, the equation divides 5% by 100. 0.05 then is multiplied by 1000 Chinese yuan resulting in an answer of 50 Chinese yuan.
What is 5 percent of 1000 pesos?
50 pesos is the equivalent of 5% of 1000 pesos. When solving this equation, take the percent divided by 100 and multiply it by the number. In this case, 5% is divided by 100 and multiplied by 1000 pesos for an answer of 50 pesos.
What is 5 percent of 1000 rupees?
Like with other currencies, use the same equation and multiply 0.05 by 1000 rupees to get an answer of 50 rupees. The 0.05 in this equation stands for 5% and is calculated by taking 5 and dividing it by 100.
After you multiply 5% and 1000 rupees together, 50 rupees is the final answer to the equation.
You might need to know the answer to 5% of 1000 when operating a business. New businesses get started every day, and people will often need to solve equations involving percentages like this.
Especially now that everything is online, quite literally anyone can start a business from the comfort of their own home.
Those looking for the answer to 5% of 1000 might not even be business owners.
Maybe you are at school or work and need to know the answer to this calculation. Whatever the case is, the answer is 50.

Rotary Cairo Club Honors Zahi Hawass
Contributed by Ali Abu Dashish
by H-Tayea
2:19 PM November 28, 2019
Rotary Egypt Club Honors Dr. Zahi Hawass
Rotary Club of Cairo on Wednesday honored renowned Egyptian archaeologist, Dr. Zahi Hawass. The ceremony was attended by a number of the club's key figures.
During the event, Hawass said that a man should love his work in order to reach high level of creativity, pointing out that he wasn't interested in working in the Ministry of Antiquities after his graduation until he moved to work in the desert for monuments excavations, where he acquired many skills helped him in his career.
He added that he was granted a 7-year scholarship in the U.S, where he made his way to prove himself as a great archaeologist.
Hawass pointed out that Egypt has 124 pyramids, the greatest of which is Khufu's pyramid.
He confirmed that the ancient Egyptian's belief in the afterlife and the importance of funerary practices are the main reasons for their ingenuity in all fields, especially in building the pyramids, which represented the national project of the Egyptians and the place where kings ruled Egypt from him.
Hawass denied the presence of red mercury in the ancient Egyptian tombs, which some believe it brought wealth to them as well as helped them heal him from diseases, adding the absence of strict archaeological evidence on the visit of some prophets to Egypt except for the Merneptah Stele, also known as the Victory Stele of Merneptah, which marked the presence of Moses in Egypt.
He pointed out that only 30 percent of Egypt's antiquities have been discovered and the rest are still buried under the ground.
The well-known Egyptologist stressed that until 1983, the Egyptian antiquities were legally traded out of Egypt, and the archaeological missions were allowed to obtain half of what they discovered, however, the parliament later banned smuggling operations.
Hawass also announced that President Abdel Fattah El Sisi will soon inaugurate the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), which will include a performance of Tutankhamun's opera.
Hawass told the audience that the tombs, which had been closed for thousands of years, included invisible germs flowing to archaeologists after excavations, prompting some to believe the curse of the Pharaohs.
Finally, he concluded by reviewing some of his latest archaeological discoveries in the Valley of the King.

Hi ha dos ponts a l'estuari del Forth: el del ferrocarril, i el de la carretera. El pont del ferrocarril és el més antic, el més conegut, i de més interès tecnològic i paisatgístic.

El pont del ferrocarril connecta les dues riberes de l'estuari del riu Forth, a l'est d'Escòcia, permetent la comunicació entre Edimburg i la seva àrea d'influència, i Fife. La llargada del pont és de 2,5 km. Va ser construït el 1890, i fou en el seu moment un prodigi d'enginyeria.

El 2015, el pont del ferrocarril va ser declarat Patrimoni de la Humanitat per la UNESCO.

Situació geogràfica

El pont és a 14 quilòmetres a l'oest d'Edimburg, a la costa est d'Escòcia. Travessa el riu Forth, que divideix Escòcia d'oest a est, entre les ciutats de Queensferry (zona d'Edimburg), a la riba sud, i la de North Queensferry (regió de Fife), a la riba nord, a l'entrada de l'estuari del fiord del Forth. En aquest punt el riu s'estreny i permet aquesta construcció, malgrat que la profunditat hi sigui important (entre els 60 i els 65 metres) que és superior a la del mar del Nord on desemboca. Això explica la necessitat de construir un pont amb un nombre limitat de trams, ja que la tecnologia de l'època tenia grans dificultats per a construir pilastres a tal profunditat.

Història

Abans del pont
A partir del , es va establir un ferri entre Queensferry i el port de North Queensferry, que utilitzava promontoris naturals com a molls. Pels volts del 1760 aquest ferri era el més actiu del Regne Unit, tot i que els usuaris consideraven que era "lent, incòmode i perillós". El 1808 es va prendre la decisió de modernitzar el sistema de transbordadors sota la direcció de l'enginyer John Rennie, que va construir uns espigons que permetien d'embarcar independentment de la marea i, per tant, augmentar les connexions.

No obstant això, el desenvolupament del transport, i en particular el desenvolupament del ferrocarril, van fer necessària la construcció d'un pont. El sistema de transbordament de trens per ferri, inaugurat el 1805 entre Granton i Burntisland, va esdevenir ràpidament insuficient.

Els diferents projectes
El 1818, James Anderson va presentar un primer projecte de pont suspès, que es va abandonar a causa de la lleugeresa de l'estructura proposada que en feia témer l'esfondrament. Encara el 1890 es deia d'aquest projecte d'Anderson que l'estructura del pont hauria estat "tan fina que amb prou feines s'hagués pogut veure en mal temps i que després d'una forta ràfega de vent ja no s'hauria vist més, ni tan sols un dia de bon temps".

No va ser fins cinquanta-cinc anys més tard que es va crear la Forth Bridge Railway Company (una empresa ferroviària nascuda amb la determinació de construir un pont sobre el Forth), perquè els trens de les companyies ferroviàries de la costa est ja no haguessin de demanar préstecs a les línies de la seva competidora Caledonian Railway. La Forth Bridge Railway Company va escollir el projecte de pont suspès de Sir Thomas Bouch, que una comissió d'enginyers va aprovar. Les obres de construcció tanmateix no es van iniciar immediatament, ja que la companyia North British, pertanyent al mateix consorci, estava construint el pont sobre el Tay, també dissenyat per Bouch, i no hi havia la liquiditat necessària.

La primera pedra es va posar finalment la primavera de 1879 a Inchgarvie. Però el 28 de desembre de 1879, un huracà va causar la catàstrofe ferroviària del pont del Tay, que es va esfondrar i hi van morir setanta-cinc persones. La comissió encarregada de la investigació va atribuir la catàstrofe a una fragilitat massa gran de la coberta debuda a un error de càlcul del seu dissenyador, Thomas Bouch. Les obres del pont de Forth es van aturar immediatament per por que l'error s'hi repetís.

Construcció del pont actual

Després de la suspensió de la construcció del projecte Bouch, la Forth Bridge Railway Company va reunir els seus enginyers el 1880 per mirar de traçar una nova estratègia. Un any més tard, el maig de 1881, John Fowler i Benjamin Baker van presentar els plans d'un pont en voladís, extremadament robust i especialment dissenyat per suportar els vents més forts i així evitar una altra catàstrofe com la patida al pont del Tay. Després de rebre l'aprovació de l'empresa, es van enviar al Parlament que va atorgar l'autorització oficial el juliol de 1882.

L'obra va començar amb la construcció dels tres caixons destinats a suportar els voladissos. Al cap de cinc anys, el 1887, s'havien construït els tres braços en voladís i només calia connectar-los, una operació delicada i que requeria molt de temps a causa de les males condicions meteorològiques. Finalment, el 4 de març de 1890, dos trens llargs de més de 300 metres i amb un pes de gairebé 900 tones, compostos per una locomotora que arrossegava cinquanta vagons, van creuar el pont de costa a costa (de sud a nord).

Per a la seva construcció, van caler més de 58.000 tones d'acer, 6,5 milions de reblons, 20.950 metres cúbics de granit, 49.200 metres cúbics de còdols i 21.350 tones de ciment. Quatre mil obrers van treballar-hi durant gairebé vuit anys, dels quals cinquanta-set hi van morir malgrat les mesures de seguretat que existien. Tot plegat amb un cost de 3,2 milions de lliures del moment, el que equival a uns 235 milions de lliures esterlines del 2000 (347 milions d'euros).

Inauguració
El 4 de març de 1890, el príncep de Gal·les (el futur Eduard VII) en va cargolar l'últim rebló, colat en or per a l'ocasió, inaugurant d'aquesta manera l'obra. Hi eren presents el seu fill, el futur rei Jordi V, el duc d'Edimburg, nombrosos diputats i alguns representants d'empreses ferroviàries estrangeres: Gustave Eiffel i Fiódor Fiódorovitx Màrtens hi eren.

Aleshores es va convertir en el pont en mènsula més llarg del món i va marcar un punt d'inflexió en la història de la construcció d'acer.

Característiques

Aquest pont, que mesura un total de 2.528 metres, és en realitat un conjunt de dos ponts de mènsula acoblats. Està compost de quinze petits arcs de 51 metres cadascun (deu al sud i cinc al nord), dos arcs laterals de 207 m i dos arcs principals de 521 metres. Cada arc principal està format per dos braços voladissos de 207 m que suporten la biga central del pont (106 m), situada 46 m per sobre de l'aigua en marea alta. Les tres torres que suporten la volada tenen una alçada de 104 m i reposen en caixes de 27 m de profunditat, parcialment construïdes gràcies a l'aire comprimit.

L'ús d'una estructura en voladís no era una novetat. Tanmateix van ser avenços significatius la mida de l'obra de Baker que va requerir càlculs excepcionals, que incloïen la pressió o influència del vent o la influència de la temperatura sobre la rigidesa del pont. Aquesta obra va permetre la realització d'altres estructures de disseny similar a tot el món, com ara el pont de Quebec.

Trànsit ferroviari
L'any 2000 van circular pel pont 54.080 trens de passatgers i 6.240 trens de mercaderies, que representa una càrrega total superior a 10,5 milions de tones. Aquestes xifres es poden comparar a les del 1894, amb 26.451 trens de passatgers i 18.777 trens de mercaderies, amb una càrrega acumulada total de 7,5 milions de tones.
De mitjana, doncs, hi circulen al voltant de 150 a 200 trens diaris. Des del 1930, només ha calgut tancar el pont en quatre ocasions, i van ser uns caps de setmana del 2003 per a facilitar les feines de pintura.
El pont té un límit de velocitat de 50 milles per hora (80 km/h) per a trens d'alta velocitat i unitats múltiples de gasoil, de 40 milles per hora (64 km/h) per a trens de passatgers normals i de 30 milles per hora (48 km/h) per a trens de mercaderies.

On the road frequently for work or pleasure, but still want to keep up with your fitness routine? We have a bodyweight workout that you can do anywhere, without any equipment, and still burn mega calories.
Keeping up with fitness can be tough if you're traveling a lot. Whether you're taking personal vacations or on the road frequently for work, exercising often takes the back burner because of lack of time or lack of a gym and equipment. Falling out of a routine can be difficult, but having to start over with fitness upon your return can be the hardest.
"Your fitness routine should include rest days but most likely when you are traveling, your body, both mentally and physically, gets used to multiple rest days," explains Christi Marraccini, NASM, fitness director at Neo U in New York City. "Then most people like to try to pick up right where they left off, but this can leave your body sore and tired, and can potentially put you at higher risk for injury." This is one of the many reasons why it's important to maintain some sort of physical activity while you're away from home.
Perform the circuit below as many times as possible in 30 minutes.
Stand with feet hip width apart. Place your hands on the ground in front of you, while simultaneously jumping your legs out and back behind you, coming into push-up position, but dropping your chest to the floor. Using your arms, push into the floor to lift your chest, jump your feet back in towards your hands, stand back up and jump. Repeat for 15 to 20 reps.
Stand with a box, chair, couch, or any solid object in front of you. Swing arms backwards as you bend the knees slightly, then hop with both feet on top of the box or solid object. Stand fully upright. Step or hop back down. Continuously repeat for 15 to 20 reps.
Modification: Step up on the box instead of hop. Switch the foot that you step with first each time.
Lie on the floor, knees bent, feet flat on the floor, hip width apart, about a foot away from glutes. Keeping knees pushed outward, squeeze glutes and push through feet to lift glutes, hips, and back off the floor so only head about shoulders remain on floor. Hold for 2 seconds, then lower back down. Repeat for 15 to 20 reps.
Come into push up position, hands flat on the floor directly under shoulders, legs extended out behind you, body in a straight line from head to toe. Keeping hands still, bend knees to sit glutes back towards feet. Leading with with head, dive body forward through hands to extend legs back out again, and finish back in push-up position. Repeat for 15 to 20 reps.
Lie flat on your stomach on the floor, legs extended, arms fully extended overhead. Squeezing glutes and shoulder blades, raise head neck and chest while simultaneously raising left arm and right leg six to ten inches off the ground. Hold for 2 seconds then release back down. Repeat with the opposite arm and leg. Continue alternating for 20 reps total, 10 on each side.
Come into push up position, hands flat on the floor directly under shoulders, legs extended out behind you, body in a straight line from head to toe. Keeping core tight, hold for 30 seconds to a minute.
Modification: Come to a forearm plank, forearms flat on the ground, elbows bent 90 degrees directly under shoulders.
Lie on your back, legs straight, arms extended overhead. Bracing your core and keeping back flat on the ground, lift legs, arms, head, neck, and shoulders simultaneously off the ground six to ten inches. Hold for 30 seconds.
