The Politics of Fiscal Equalization in Canada and Australia: Contemporary Responses and Practical Reforms
The Australian Centre for Federalism (ACF) presents:
"The Politics of Fiscal Equalization in Canada and Australia: Contemporary Responses and Practical Reforms"
Australia is a well-known pioneer in the field of fiscal federalism and equalization policy. Created in 1933, the Commonwealth Grants Commission has long featured prominently in debates about equalization policy in other federal countries, including Canada. Yet, when it created its federal equalization programme in 1957, Canada explicitly rejected the Australian approach to equalization based on an analysis of both fiscal capacity and service needs, instead opting to focus entirely on fiscal capacity.
Since then, in Canada, a number of experts have advocated the inclusion of service needs into the equalization formula but this idea has never been implemented. The same remark applies to the idea of creating an arms-length body similar to the Commonwealth Grants Commission, which has been rejected by politicians in both Ottawa and the provinces. Despite these key institutional differences between the two countries, both Australia and Canada face similar policy challenges when the time comes to assess and address horizontal fiscal inequality in the broader, contentious context of fiscal federalism. One of these challenges concerns changing commodity prices, which can exacerbate both regional inequalities and political tensions over equalization. Overall, in Australia and in Canada, reforming equalization programmes is challenging, partly because of the sheer size of equalization transfers and the vested interests attached to them.
These two talks by Professor Daniel Béland of the University of Saskatchewan and Professor Brian Galligan of the University of Melbourne will explore the challenging politics of equalization through a comparative analysis of the Australian and Canadian cases. To further explore these issues with audience discussion, a thirty-minute participatory discussion will follow the talks.
Professor Brian Galligan is Professor of Political Science Department at the University of Melbourne. Brian specialises in Australian politics and political economy, particularly: constitutional politics and judicial review, federalism and intergovernmental relations, citizenship and rights protection, including for Aboriginal people, and business-government relations. He has comparative interests in constitutional systems, decentralised governance and rights protection, including in Asian countries. Professor Galligan is a fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia and recognized as one of Australia's foremost scholars of federalism and Australian federal studies. He is currently formally involved with the Commonwealth Government's "Renewing Australian Federalism" project. Previously, Brian was a professor in the Research School of Social Sciences at ANU and the Professor and Director of the Federalism Research Centre, Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University, from 1992 to 1994, succeeded by Professor John Uhr.
Professor Daniel Béland holds the Canada Research Chair in Public Policy (Tier 1) at the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy (University of Saskatchewan campus). A specialist of fiscal and social policy, he has published 14 books and more than 100 articles in peer-reviewed journals, including Comparative Political Studies, Governance, Journal of European Public Policy, Journal of Public Policy, Journal of Social Policy, and Social Science Quarterly. To know more about his work please visit www.danielbeland.org.
Registration can be made on-line before COB Friday 13th November at Eventbrite.
Discussion will be conducted under the Chatham House Rule. A light reception will follow the presentation.

One of the things I realized I've missed doing over the past couple of years is reading. I used to go through book after book after book and working at Barnes & Noble just made it easier. Since then however, I've found it hard to make as much time for reading as before. I've been trying to turn that around lately and have succeeded in getting back into the swing of things. I've gotten through a handful of books, both physical and audio, on my to read list. One of my goals for the new year is Continue reading
Month: December 2015
And It's Like The Fog Has Lifted
T Minus 52 Weeks
The last couple of weeks have been super duper stressful and just all around unpleasant but we are finally all moved in! It took a lot longer to move in than we expected because after we got our keys and started getting everything over to the new place we realized just how much was wrong. The AC was broken (which in South Florida is a travesty, even in the winter), the freezer didn't freeze, we realized there was a garbage disposal that didn't work, we didn't have hot water… the list goes on and on. It took over two weeks to coordinate all the maintenance and finally get everything livable and ready to move in. And then we had to do the actual moving. All in all, not fun, but a good learning experience I guess.
Since then, Continue reading
5 Fandom Friday: Holiday Traditions
I love holiday traditions. I especially love my holiday traditions.
Decorate the Tree with a Friend
Every year when we decorate the tree I typically invite a friend or loved one over to help. It's lots of fun. We put up all of my hodgepodge decorations, drink hot chocolate, and watch a holiday movie. At the end we usually let them Continue reading
5 Fandom Friday: Christmas Wish List
Posting this a little late because I didn't get a chance to put it up last week.
This one's a tough one. Not because I can't limit myself to 5 but because I'm not really sure what I actually want (which my family and friends are really not happy with right now lol). So here's a list of things I'd probably be happy getting.
A trip to Disney World or Universal Studios
You'd think living in Florida would mean I would probably go here every weekend and be sick of it already, but Continue reading
5 Fandom Friday: Holiday Recommendations
Movie: The Polar Express
When I first heard of this movie I didn't think much of it. It seemed weird and I didn't hear many positive reviews. A couple of years ago I saw it on Netflix during the holidays and figured Continue reading
We heard back from the association and we are approved! We just need to do the final walkthrough with the landlord tomorrow and we get our keys and can begin moving. It's very exciting. I'm hoping we're all moved in soon and can unpack and at least decorate a little for the holiday. I want my tree damn it!
In other news, I'll be participating in a roller derby tournament this weekend so that should be fun and exciting. I haven't been able to get much play time in since our team started rebuilding so it'll be nice to get on a track and actually play instead of just practice.
I've also gotta go get my Christmas shopping done. I've fallen a bit behind in all the chaos. Now that we have the go ahead to move and things are starting to fall into place there I can start to focus on the other areas that I've been neglecting. All in all, lots of things to do and look forward to.

Getting the answers you need about central precocious puberty (CPP)1-4
As a parent or caregiver, it's normal to worry and wonder what is causing your child to go through early puberty. Some children have an underlying condition causing early puberty. However, for most children, there is no known cause. Feel assured that your child's doctor will perform tests and be able to answer questions specific to your child. Remember, CPP can be treated.
Talking with your child about early puberty1,4,5
Often, children are too young to understand the physical and hormonal changes happening to them. Reassure your child that these changes are normal and all of his or her friends will eventually go through puberty, too. These changes are just happening earlier in his or her body than they should.
Having this conversation early on can help your child feel more comfortable with CPP and its treatment.
Remember that CPP can be treated and your child can have a childhood just like other children his or her age. Sign up for emails to learn more and be sure to talk to your child's doctor if you have questions.
Some tips for
your conversation
While the type of discussion you have will depend on your child's age, here are some tips that can help:

Central precocious puberty (CPP): a condition in which children begin puberty at an abnormally early age (before age 8 in girls and before age 9 in boys). It's caused by the early release of hormones by the pituitary gland near the base of the brain
Chronological age: a person's age measured from the time of birth
CPP: see Central precocious puberty
Estrogen: a "female" sex hormone that causes the development of female sexual characteristics and affects the reproductive cycle in women
Fertility: the ability to produce offspring
FSH: see Follicle-stimulating hormone
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): a hormone that stimulates the growth of follicles in the ovary and produces sperm in the testes
Genitals: reproductive or sexual organs
GnRH: see Gonadotropin-releasing hormone
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH): a hormone made by the hypothalamus (part of the brain) that causes the pituitary gland to produce two hormones, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

LH: see Luteinizing hormone
Luteinizing hormone (LH): in females, it controls the menstrual cycle, including the production of both estrogen and progesterone. In males, it stimulates the testes to produce androgens
Ovaries: the pair of reproductive glands in women. They are located on each side of the uterus. Ovaries produce eggs (ovum) and female hormones
Pediatric endocrinologist: a specialist that treats a wide range of hormonal conditions in children
Peripheral precocious puberty (PPP): a condition where children begin puberty at an abnormally early age (before age 8 in girls and before age 9 in boys).

COMMENT | I recently came across a recording of a retired principal, V Chakaravathy, ranting at the reigning tsar of the education regime Maszlee Malik in a dialogue session organised by the Asian Strategy and Learning Institute (Asli) in Subang Jaya.
The arguments took me back to my schooldays in Sekolah Temenggong Abdul Rahman I (Star 1) in Johor Bahru, back in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Listening to the principal having a go at the minister reminded me of Star 1's own principal PV Kulasingam. This no-nonsense educator was much feared. He had a stable of teachers of various cultural backgrounds.
I still remember the name of those great educators of my life and times, D Varma, Wong Seng Kuang, Ho Liang Kho, Elizabeth Tan, Cikgu Hasan. I remember the name of the office boy as well, Pakcik Seman.
That was the time of tuck shops, sepak yem, bola chopping, and only prefects wearing ties. The 'tablet' was not an iPad, and learning was fun in a school where English was the medium of instruction.
I did not remember much homework given to be completed at home under the light of my kerosene lamp, since I could still play soccer to my heart's content every evening after school.
I could still roam around my village after school, playing in the nearby stream to catch fish and grasshoppers, roll old bicycle tyres around the neighbourhood, or walk along the huge water pipes that sent refined water to Singapore, and I could still watch my black-and-white American and Malay TV programmes, the two channels in Malaysia and two more from Singapore.
In school were the basics of reading, writing, counting, and speaking taught with not much stress, as I recall. I thank the universe the internet, iPhone and all other kinds of dehumanising and life-distracting gadgets had not been invented yet.
I could relate to what Chakaravathy was saying on the topic of how today's children are experiencing a slow but sure death of creativity and problem-solving.
I lamented on the state of our country on Facebook recently:
How can this happen?
How can
A country even begins to learn about the ethics
Of sustainability...

Adults Only café to open off Limerick motorway
Coffee connoisseur: Alan Andrews | Picture: Michael Cowhey
AN ENTREPRENEUR is opening up a coffee shop that will filter out the noise of screaming children.
Alan Andrews is the man behind the adults only cafe idea in the Old Barracks Coffee Roastery in Birdhill. It could be the first in the country.
"That's the plan! Adults only and definitely not kids. I'm thinking minimum 12 or maybe 14 years of age. I don't believe that it's out there. The thought process behind it is, that well first of all we are a roastery, so it's a manufacturing place.
"Second of all, I think adults, all adults, are entitled to a bit of me time. And it's really important for life balance that you can go somewhere and you know that there won't be kids there screaming or running around or spilling stuff on the floor.
"I have got kids but I want to know that there's a place I can go to where I'm going to have some peace and quiet and read a book or a newspaper. We want to give people that one hour to enjoy their cup of coffee and get some mindfulness. I think that is really important for people. We've ran a campaign for Mental Health Ireland," said Alan, who also owns Coffee Culture – an educational and training facility - in Dublin.
The plan is to open the café before the summer but there has been confusion with a different kind of summer!
"I need to define what adults only means, some people think it's going to be an Ann Summers shop!" laughed Alan, who is originally from Dublin.
He came down to Limerick in 2001 and was a co-founder of Delish cafés in 2003. Alan describes himself as a "serial entrepreneur" and his new enterprise in Birdhill works hand in hand with Coffee Culture, started in 2009.
The roastery in the old barracks, which is a 300-year-old building, commenced last month. They are exporting a thousand kilos of coffee from Birdhill every week and are looking to export into Europe.
"We roast the coffee there, and sometimes you'd have blends, just like you'd have blends in whiskey, and sometimes you'd have single malts, which would be in coffee terms, single origin. So you might just have coffee from Guatemala or from Rwanda or from Papua New Guinea or Thailand, and we roast all of them in small batches," explained Alan.
"Once we get that up and running and are happy with the volume that we are doing, and the production and the workflow, then we'll finish off building the café," he continued.
When it is open he wants to give patrons a good coffee experience and their "me time".
"When you go to a café, you just want a bit of me time and you just want to savour the moment. You might only be having one coffee a day or you might be just having an hour to yourself, and you just want to enjoy that time. And we all love children, I've got children of my own but you know, children get bored," said Alan.
They have created four jobs thus far and hope to double that when the café opens.
"We used to outsource the roasting but now we are bringing it in house in Birdhill. As every month goes, we are taking on more staff and growing," said Alan.

Customer Overview
Cadbury was founded almost 200 years ago.
Cadbury World has gone on to become one of Birmingham's largest leisure attractions - welcoming over 500,000 visitors each year, and delivering a respected education programme. Cadbury World offers its visitors the opportunity to explore and discover chocolate's history, to learn about the origins and story of the Cadbury business - one of the world's largest confectionery manufacturers.
The Challenge
To install a new security system with a flexible and reliable wireless infrastructure which covered multiple areas to improve security for the Bourneville Cadbury site.
The Solution
Using the 11n MICRO, for Multiple point to point links Schneider Electric Ltd were able to install a system which linked back to the centrally managed PELCO digital recording system in the CCTV control room which wirelessly connected to multiple remote stations with CCTV cameras attached.
The system was quickly installed and the Schneider Electrical team were delighted with the monitoring facilities within the SilverView network monitoring software as well as the ability to quickly configure the system when changes were required.
Due to the high bandwidth availability the system can be easily expanded and have multiple cameras added to without any system performance degradation.
The Technical Bit
The high bandwidth 11n range was used for multiple point to point links to the control room. Due to their minimal size and weight and the ability of giving cabled speeds across the network.

I remember a moment early on in my career. It was the period in my life where I decided that I was actually going to pursue cooking as a career. It was around my 21st birthday.
I had already found myself in a kitchen for the past five years, mostly doing part-time work while finishing high school, and then while in college. Up until that point I had intended on being an engineer, maybe "settling" for being an architect, if I chose to.
There was a problem though. I hated the work. While the idea of being an engineer, and the money that came with it, sounded alluring, the reality of spending another 4-5 years in school, and the rest of my life at a desk, doing something I wasn't really passionate about, seemed life-sucking. So, in the spring of 1999 I made the choice. I was going to turn to the dark side, and become a cook, making a career of it.
At the time I remember coming to the humbling realization that I would never be wealthy and my life would be a modest one, but at least I would be happy, and my career could take me anywhere in the world, because people everywhere have to eat.
While I was obviously quite naive about the reality of being a cook at the time, I wasn't that far off.
My career choice has afforded me the chance to spend years in the Canadian Rockies, time in the heart of Switzerland, taken me on work trips to Toronto, Vancouver, Chicago, L.A., Phoenix and so much more.
I am thankful to say that it has also allowed me to provide a decent life for my family. Who knows, I may be a more successful chef than I would have ever been an engineer, so it was probably a great decision. I can say this though, it has more than likely been the harder road. It has had so many wonderful highlights along the way though.
Just last month, amidst the chaos of our busiest month in business, some personal struggles, and opening a new restaurant, I had the luck of sneaking away with my dad on the fishing trip of a lifetime.
The timing was absolutely awful, but when I booked it six months earlier, I had no idea where my life would be at the time.
Thankfully in large part to some exceptional staff, I managed to make it work. The fishing was wonderful, but what was more special was four days away with my father and friends, free from phone calls, text messages, or even an internet connection. It reminded me just how liberating that freedom can be. We were lucky enough to land some delicious Chinook salmon and share some stories about the ones that got away!
Tomorrow finds me making another trip out of town, with a little mix of business and pleasure on the agenda.
A close friend and supplier to the restaurant, Jeff Nonay, has asked me to head to Quebec with him to visit a small town called Sainte-Elizabeth de Warwick, where we will work with an award-winning cheesemaker to learn some of his ways, then prepare a few meals for some of their closest friends and family.
In a chance to close the loop of my recent experiences, I decided to take some of the Chinook I caught in the Pacific, make it into gravlax, and serve it to the guests in Quebec, complimented by ingredients from here in Alberta, and a few surprises I find locally when I land there. We will break bread together, eat some cheese, drink too much wine, and share stories about food. While I may not be an engineer, my job is pretty damn cool!
Chinook Salmon Gravlax
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Inactive Curing Time: 48-60 hours
Special Tools: a sharp knife for slicing, a spice grinder or mortar and pestle
Makes: a nice appetizer feast for a party of 10-15 people
While not everyone is going fishing in the ocean, you can get great, fresh fish, right here in Edmonton. The key to doing this dish is to start with great product. I only recommend you doing this if you can source seafood from a very reliable source. I recommend heading up to St. Albert and visiting Rob and his team at Effing Seafood to buy yourself a fresh side of salmon.
1 side salmon, skin on, pin bones removed (about 3-5 pounds)
100 g kosher salt
50 g brown sugar
3 g pink peppercorns
2 g fennel seeds
3 g coriander seeds
6 g mustard seeds
20 g fresh dill
- Heat a pan to medium-high heat
- Place the peppercorns, fennel seeds, coriander and mustard seed in the pan to toast, tossing lightly, about 1-2 minutes. You just want to release the oils and get the aroma going, but not burn them
- Remove from the pan and let cool
- Using the spice grinder or mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the spices
- Very coarsely chop the dill
- In a large bowl, combine the salt, sugar, dill and spices
- Now, until cold water, lightly rinse the side of salmon and then pat dry with paper towel
- In the bottom of a pan large enough to hold the whole side, sprinkle about half of the salt mixture on the bottom
- Gently place the salmon on to the salt mixture, skin side down
- Pour the rest of the salt mixture over the salmon, covering it thoroughly, there should be no salmon flesh exposed
- Now, place a piece of plastic wrap over the fish, directly against the flesh
- Place another pan over the top and then weight down the fish, with about 3-4 pounds of weight
- Place the salmon in the fridge to cure for two days
- At the two day mark remove the fish from the fridge and check the texture, it should no longer be soft like raw fish, but closer to that of cooked fish, the colour should also be slightly opaque
- There should also be some liquid brine now in the bottom of the pan, from the fish releasing it's water and combining with the salt
- Should you find the fish too soft still, flip it over and let cure for another day, if there isn't sufficient brine for the fish to be submerged in then you may need to reapply, but this is unlikely, keep in mind that thicker fish will take longer to cure than thin pieces and some common sense will be required
- Once cured, remove from the brine and rinse lightly to remove excess salt
- Place in the fridge to cool and then slice thinly, on the bias when ready to serve, it will last up to about 10 days in the fridge, if probably wrapped
- Serve it with some crème fraiche, pickled onions, and rye crostinis

When you communicate with your channel partners, do you talk to them or do you talk at them? Think of the end of the day announcements in grade school, for example, where the principal would come over the intercom and read off a list someone else wrote of upcoming events and information. Chances are you probably remember standing at the door of the classroom chatting with your friends, or being scolded by a teacher to sit down and listen. There's also a chance that you missed out on some important information (like that picture day is tomorrow!) because you weren't paying attention.
If engagement with your channel partners is low or declining, take a look at your current communication strategy. Does it look or sound like afternoon school announcements? If that's the case, you might be talking at your partners. Below are some tips to help change up your communication strategy to encourage your partners to work with you.
Feedback & Collaboration
Your channel partners might not be as engaged with your organization because they're not getting what they need from you. There are two things you can do to open up communication with your partners so it's a two-way street: ask for feedback and offer opportunities to collaborate.
Channel partners can be a lot like customers. When they have a poor experience working with you, for example, they might stop working with you just like a customer who has a poor experience will stop buying from you. How do you know when channel partners are struggling, or what they're struggling with? Not all of them will tell you, and those that do might not until it's too late.
Instead of conducting a quantitative survey like NPS or a customer effort score (CES) survey, consider going for a survey that asks for qualitative data in the form of short answer questions. When asking short answer questions, keep surveys to two or three questions to avoid survey fatigue. Ask your channel partners what challenges they face when marketing or selling your product, and ask what they think would be helpful from you to meet those challenges.
Conducting a qualitative survey like this will take some time, but the time you do take to listen to your channel partners will be well spent. The HubSpot Service Hub Feedback tool will help you save time by collecting survey responses all in one place and notifying you when a response is submitted (so you're not constantly having to check yourself!).
Once you know what your partners need to better market and sell your product or service, invite them in on the creation process. Getting your partners in on the process is a way to show you're interested in meeting their needs, and you want to help make them successful selling your product. As the channel manager, you likely have the brand recognition with your end customers, but your partners have the local market knowledge. When you work together, that means more successful marketing campaigns or even ideas for new products.
One thing to remember when collaborating with channel partners on projects of any kind is to offer them equal credit on any marketing materials. This is an effort to sell more of your product, but your partners are the ones with their feet on the ground doing a lot of the selling. No channel partner wants their logo hiding in the corner when the parent company's logo is front and center, especially when they helped create the material or strategy being used.
Just like a one-size-fits-all communication strategy doesn't work for customers, it isn't effective for your partners, either. Not every partner has the same resources or team available, and accounting for their different needs will help engage them. You personalize your content for the different types of customers you have, so you should be doing the same for your different channel partners.
Segmenting your partners by their size or what position within the organization you're communicating with (sales reps, managers, technicians) will help get the right information into the right hands (and increase your email open and click-through rates). HubSpot's Marketing Hub lets you create lists within your contacts, and it allows you to create workflows that enroll users in email campaigns based on their behavior with your other content. HubSpot's open API software also allows you to create a custom integration with any technology platform you're currently using (ManoByte can help you set up a custom HubSpot integration, too).
Since not all partners are the same, how can you ensure the marketing materials you send to all channel partners are used effectively? Often times, smaller partners might not have the resources or a dedicated marketing team like larger partners. On the other hand, larger partners could have a marketing strategy that's not perfectly in line with yours.
Every partner needs to be successful with the materials you provide them; so instead of just providing materials, provide a checklist of what channel partners need to do with those materials. A checklist on top of branding guidelines ensures everyone is on the same page with how marketing materials should be used.
Goals & Incentives
A little competition (even if it's just against yourself) never hurt anyone. Incentivizing channel partners to collaborate, use your marketing material, or even answer a survey will help get them involved. Setting goals, and offering incentives for reaching those goals, can get channel partners excited.
For example, you might set a sales goal of 10% growth from the prior year, and channel partners who meet that goal receive a co-op reimbursement or discount on ordering your products. Additionally, a promise to share their logo with yours on marketing materials they help create might be a good incentive to collaborate.
Even though you're the channel manager, your channel partners are exactly that—partners. When you work together, you both will see success.

Fat Dissolving Injections for Chin in Sydney
We are the selfie nation, there's nothing more gratifying than taking the perfect shot of you and your bestie on a night out. The only problem comes when your selfie game is strong, but you're only focused on the parts you don't like.
The miracle fat dissolving injections available in Sydney!
Our self-esteem can take a real knock when we've worked hard to achieve results, but something isn't quite right. The major culprit of selfie-shame? The dreaded double chin. We can do all the right things, lose weight and exercise, but the chin won't budge. Contour Clinics have the solution with our fat dissolving injections for the chin, so you can be back taking selfies in no time.
What causes chin fat?
Firstly, it's important to recognise that a double chin is not necessarily a consequence of being overweight. You can drop all excess pounds and still struggle to shift that under the chin fat. There are a few other different contributing factors that might be to blame;
- AgeAs we age, our skin produces less collagen and loses its all-important elasticity. This can contribute to a sagging of the skin and emphasise the under-chin area.
- GenesYes! It's true, your genetic makeup can play a big part in the development of a double chin. The level of skin elasticity we have is genetically inherited, so if your parents struggled with this issue then you may too.
- PostureBelieve it or not, poor posture can contribute to muscle weakening in the neck and chin. As the muscle atrophies, the overall sag becomes more pronounced.
The upshot is we might not know what causes chin fat, but it's probably a combination of all of these factors. Weakened skin elasticity and muscle tone, combined with fatty deposits in the area, create the double chin effect we all know, and hate!
What can I do to combat chin fat?
You've probably seen a range of advice around this issue. They vary from exercises to target the area, to full on surgical intervention. Whilst exercises are great, there is little evidence to suggest dramatic results can be achieved this way. Surgical procedures are certainly effective, but such a drastic measure isn't for everyone, nor is it always affordable. Luckily, we have another solution, fat dissolving injections for the chin.
The process is completed in less than 30 minutes, with results visible from as little as 4 weeks. Our highly trained cosmetic professionals will inject a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid into the submental fat carried under the chin. This substance, which is naturally occurring in our bodies, breaks down the fat cells for natural removal. The process normally requires 2 treatments and lasts for several years.
How much does chin fat dissolving injections cost in Sydney?
All of our prices are fully available on our website, but chin fat dissolving procedures start from as little as $850. We can also arrange discounts, where multiple procedures are requested at one time. We provide treatments for a range of issues, including jawline contouring, facial rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction. Browse our website today to find your perfect plan of complimentary therapies!

The energy efficiency rating is a measure of the overall efficiency of a home. The higher the rating the more energy efficient the home is and the lower the fuel bills will be.
Whenever a property is built, sold or rented, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) must be produced for potential buyers or tenants before the property is marketed.
The EPC will tell you how energy efficient a home is by giving it an Energy Efficiency Rating (from 1 to 100) and a band from A (very efficient) to G (inefficient). The EPC also gives an indication of how costly the home will be to heat and light and what its carbon dioxide emissions are likely to be. EPCs are produced by qualified assessors who conduct an energy assessment on the property.
The higher the rating number and higher the band on the EPC, the more energy efficient the home is and the lower its fuel bills are likely to be. The average energy efficiency of a home in England and Wales is band D (and a rating of 60).
A typical Berkeley home will have many features that improve its Energy Efficiency Rating. These features will vary from home to home and you should check with your Sales Consultant what features are included in the home you are interested in. Features could include:

THE CITY ELECTION, The city election will occur four weeks from today and the republican nominations will be made Friday and Saturday of next week. In an election of thin sort there are always diverse interests at work, some of them conducive to the public good, aome of them merely personal and some of them secret and hostile to the best interests of the community. Unfortunately too many voters are misled by what seems to them good argument only to find out that a ralstakn has been made. Against such possibilities of mistake the voter should carefully guard himself. Among the active politicians are those who desire the supremacy of the party and Ua principles and who care, fully favor from the avallnble material such selections as shall insure success at the polls and a carrying 1 out of the republican Idea of good government afterwards. They do not seek to reward friends and just as cordially support a personal enemy if ho is the right man for tbo right place- ThiB element depends for Its Influence upon fairness and judgment and when It becomes unfair, unjust, prejudiced or tricky its power wanes and with it the party, Another element, just as Important, la that which always bus candidates and is enthusiastic for them. These politicians want Jones or Brown or Thompson nominated. Their friendship for Jones or Brown or Thompson la so warm that judgment is warped and sometimes the worst possible candidate for success, or a good admin- stratlon afterwards, is most enthusiastically backed by earnest friends, Still another faction is composed of those who are in thewe-grlndlng business. They have an office promised or a scheme to get through or they are working on pay for some one who is thus Interested. This last element is the dangerous one. It is at work now in Logansport. It ii at work in both parties. There la not a shadow of doubt but that the Ft. Wayne Electric Light Company wants another five year contract at $100 per light. There IB not a shadow of doubt but that the Natural Gas Company wants a new council that may be more favorable to it, in a small w»y at least, than the last. There is not a shadow of doubt that these two corporations are taking an active hand in th« city campaign, And so the Journal urges extreme caution and extreme care. Let the republicans ,use caution in forming their Judgment. The man who praises or condemns a candidate may hive an improper motive. lie miy be honest about it but led into a false advocacy by some . one whose statement ha accepted carelessly. Let republicans use care ir the selection of the ticket Get the best material and success is certain. All the candidates now mentioned are free from any of the alliance* above suggested but it Is the eleventh hour candidate who is introduced to a convention or a primary packed for him who most frequently represents the enemy to public good. The republican party In Lo- gangport has always been free from dangers of this sort but with a possi bility of power cornea a possibility of danger of this sort and the people should be on guard. ALL Fool's day seems to have given the Pharos new Inspiration and it breaks out with another oh.atter about Boyer hypnotizing Mayor Read and the council. Is it the gas company or the Fort Wayne electric light company that is Instigating this? Boyer's term does not expire for two years and an attack on him now is absurd from a political standpoint since the council is democratic. THE South Carolina militiamen do not seem to be as anxious to flght as were their predecessors thirty years ago. Nor does their desertion when ordered out by the governor reflect credit on their patriotism. THE telegraph reports show that the Ft. Wayne Electric Light Company la charged with usicg money wrongfully at Hamilton, O. Poitlbly It does not like the Logansport council.

Tho latter objected to the union und offered Hooker a, monetary consideration if lie would move further west. The newspaper man declined, whereupon ho was discharged, and he was forced to go to Milwaukee, where ho obtained employment. After his disappearance, the stepdaughter announced that the engagement was broken. After an absence of three months, Hooker reappeared, coming in by u country road on horseback. His sister came into town by train at the same time. Sho, with some friends of Hooker's, made the necessary arrangements, and at noon Hooker quietly but hurriedly walked into the Congregational church. A clergyman was in waiting, and at the altar stood the publisher's pretty stepdiuichter, surrounded by a group of friends. While on his way to church Hooker had been recognized by several friends, and he was in haste to have the ceremony ended. "Do you want tho complete service?" asked the minister. "Cut it down to a stick," was Will's reply, resorting to printer's English in his excitement. The preacher looked astonished, but ho understood, and soon tho knot was tied. I'UKDH »" Lively as Cricket*. The comforts of the press gallery in the- senate arc far from perfect. A chill and killing draft blows through it all day long, and with its acoustical disadvantage, the thick and uncertain tones of the reading clerk, and the confusion steadily maintained by tho pages, it is difficult to follow the senate proceedings with cnso and accuracy. While the selection of boys is as good as probably can be made, their rules of government might be improved. They dash in concert for each senator who calls, as rushers make for a football; and the spectacle of these uniformed school boys scrambling over the senate floor is far from encouraging 1 to an admirer of dignity and order. Tho other day two of these impetuous and ung-overned youths collided in the central aislo and knocked each other flat upon tho floor. Where Did He Get That Hut? One day recently Big Tom Reed lost his hat at the capitol. He thinks it was stolen, but he probably laid it down carelessly somewhere, and forgot about it. He has a very, large head,and could find nothing "around the building-that would fit him. When ho left for tho Shoreham ho had on his head a derby three sizes too small, and 'It THBBE BIZES TOO SMALL, presented the appearance of Harry Watson 'in German comedy.

A Que«r Plum of Mail Matter. -"We find some strange things in the mails," said a railway postal clerk who delivered a tramp to a police officer. When the southern night line train pulled into Sixth stijeet depot Thursday night the clerks of tho railway mail service were throwing 1 out tho mail bags intended for the post office here and for points further north, when one of them grabbed, as he supposed, a canvas bag, but it proved to bo an Italian tramp who hail been lying 1 beneath a pile of sacks, canvas and leather. The intruder said ho was out of work and money, and being 1 desirous of reaching New York had concealed himself under the mail bags at Charleston, and took his'chances of getting- through. He was rather disappointed when he.found that his trip to Now York had been interrupted. Ho was sent to a police station house. Senator Vent's Log-ubrlou« Tule. Senator Vest tells good stories, all of them entertaining, and many of them apocryphal. He listened one evening 1 recently at Chamberlain's to a marvelous story by Amos Cummings conc«rning the luckiest man on earth. Cummings really exceeded the story of Monte Christo. "Speaking of luck," said Senator Vest, "I will tell you a story to which another man in this company can bear witness. One day,, while I was in Richmond aa a member of the confederate congress, I lost a roll of money, my pay for the month, somewhere m the street on my way from the war office to the hotel.

Uuoquul Pi»y nua Uiitiqiml Labor. The senate is not only more dignified, more awe-inspiring and more pretentious than the house, but it is also more extravagant. The employes of the senate receive better salaries than the employes of the house. The senate has proportionately a great many more employes than are allotted to the house. The eighty-eight senators em- ploye forty-five messengers, and the three hundred and fifty-six representatives only flfty-one. The ratio is fully as great an to other employes. Tho duties of the house employes are, therefore, far more more arduous than those of th* employes in tho senate. They work six days a week, while the senate employes work only four, and get nearly twenty-five per cent, more salary. The sergeant-at-arms of the house certainly has more work to -keep the accounts of the three hundred and fifty- six members than tho sergeant-at-arms of tho senate to keep the accounts of the eighty-eight senators. And still he ' gets far loss pay. The senate usually adjourns on Thursday over to Monday. The house remains in session throughout the week. Flgurm from thn Pny Roll*. Messengers in the house receive from $1,000 to $1,200 a year. Messengers of the senate receive 81,440 a year. The stationery clerk in the house gets$l,800 a year; in the senate this clerk receives 92,100. Tho chief engineer of the house wing gets 81,700 a year; in the senate wing the engineer gets $2,160. An assistant engineer in the house gets 81,200 a year; in the senate these assistants receive $1,440 a year. Firemen in tho house get $900, and in the senate, 81,095. To go still higher, the clerk of the house receives only 84,500 a year, while the secretrry of the senate.re- ceives $0,090 a year.

One of tho best positions of an appointive nature in the house of representatives is that of tally clerk: -The salary is 83,000 per annum ana" the work is »s near nothing as it can be and yet retain the semblance of sufficient labor to excuse the existence of the office. It is the duty of the tally clerk whenever there is a yea or nay vote taken upon any proposition to be present and make accurate and complete record of the vote of every member of the house who is present and voting. When the house engages in a siege of filibustering or in a succession of all- night meetings the tally clerk is obliged to go without sleep and really perform exhausting duties, but this occurs so seldom that the office is practically a sinecure. For example, from the adjournment of the house on March 4, 1898, to the commencement of the extra session in August, a period of five months, the tally clerk had nothing to do but draw his salary of $2-10 per mouth with great regularity. During the three months of the extra session he was obliged to be on duty altogether but thirty hours.

Almost ever) evening a myth, or » legend of some deed done in the past, was narrated by one of the parents or grandparents, and to it the boy listened with parted mouth and shining eyes. On the following evening he was usually required to repeat it- If he was not an apt scholar, he struggled long with his task; but, as a rule, the Indian boy is a good listener and has a good memory, so that the stories were tolerably well mastered. The household became his audience, by whom he was alternately criticised and applauded. This sort of teaching at once enlightens the boy's mind and stimulates his ambition. His conception of his own future career becomes a vivid and irresistible force. Whatever there is tor him to acquire must be acquired; whatever qualifications are necessary to a truly great warrior and hunter, he mnst seek at any expense of danger and hardship. Such was the feeling of the imaginative and brave young Indian. It becomes apparent to him early in life that he must accustom himself to rove alone, and not to fear or dislike the impressions of solitude, but acquaint himself thoroughly with nature. Much has been said about Indian children's "instincts." To be sure, we inherited some of the characteristics of our ancestors, but the greater part of our faculties we had to acquire by practice. All the stoicism and patience of the Indian are acquired traits. Physical training and dieting were not neglected. I remember J was not allowed to drink beef soup or any warm drink. The soup was for the old men. The general rules for the young were never to eat their food very hot, nor to drink much water. My uncle, who educated me, was a severe and strict teacher. When I left his teepee for the day, he would say to me: "Ilakada, watch everything closely and observe its characteristics;" and at evening, on my return, ho used to catechize me for an hour or so. "On which side of the trees is the light-colored bark? On which side do they have most regular branches?" It was his custom to let me name the new birds I 'had seen during the day. I would name them according to the color, or habits, or the shape of tho bill, or their song, or the appearance and locality of the nest—in fact, anything about the bird which impressed me as characteristic. I made many ridiculous errors, I must admit. He then usually informed me of the correct name. Occasionally I made a hit, and this he would warmly commend.—Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman, in St Nicholas. OLD ENGLISH CROCKERY. Extraordinary Tailed Prevailing Prior to th« Sixteenth Century. Down to tho sixteenth century the extraordinary mixtures, both as to ingredients and seasonings, which prevailed, gave an indication of the tastes of the period. Thus blamange, or, as it is generally spelled, blanc-manger, instead ot being merely a jelly of milk or cream, was formerly composed of the pounded flesh of poultry, boiled with rice and milk of almonds, and sweetened with sugar, while a mixture of the same kind, but colored with blood or sandal wood, was called a rose. Ituckuado was the name of another typical preparation, and this was made of meat "hewn in goblets," pounded almonds, raisins, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, onions, salt and fried herbs, thickened with rice flour, and colored yellow with saffron.

One year on
a comment from Ingrid Giskes, chair of the Global Ghost Gear Initiative and global head of the Sea Change campaign at World Animal Protection
"To date, the issue of ocean plastics has traditionally been dominated by conversations surrounding single-use plastics, like straws and water bottles. But recently, new research has also amplified the far-reaching ghost gear problem, with estimates that ghost gear makes up as much as 46 – 70% of all macro plastics in the oceans by weight. Over the last year, the Global Ghost Gear Initiative has seen an enormous influx of members wanting to become part of the alliance; more desire than ever from governments and corporates to invest in scaling up and replicating solutions; and United Nations bodies wanting to support training and awareness raising to prevent more gear from being lost."

"If we were only aware and not self-aware, we would still be affected by the external world. Observations would come in through our senses and the body would respond, unknowingly. But as a result of our self-awareness, we do not merely respond, but seek the meaning of that which we observe."
"Mental Relativity"

1) Assholes who throw out some useless piece of trivia and think they're smart: You're sitting talking to your friend about something lame like cartoons or whatever and some fool next to you gives you the entire history of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You are not smart for knowing something like that. You are pathetic.
2) Teenagers: I hate kids. They should all be locked up underground and fed dead rats and fish heads. Fuck them.
3) The "Political Guy": Every klick has one, the guy who goes on the internet and reads some reactionary blog or whatever and always thinks that what's happening right now on CNN in the precursor to America collapsing into a communist police state. Some of you might think this is a little hypocritical coming from a guy who has a page entitled "The Bad Bush list." Well, you're just going to have to figure that out.
4) STONERS: I fucking hate stoners. It's just sad to see someone who's hardly reached the age of adulthood and has already committed himself to a life of mediocrity. You're only 21, not even to of school yet, and already you've totally destroyed your mind by overindulging in what should be a normally harmless pastime. Weed is recreation, a party drug, something people do to have a good time. It is not supposed to be a way of life. When you wake up in the morning and take a deep bong rip even before you take a piss then it's time to lay off the ganja for a bit. You may notice strange things happening to your mind, like maybe you'll be able to remember shit once in a while. If you keep this shit up you're going to be dilevering pizzas at Papa Johns forever. And everybody knows how pathetic old stoners are.
5) Loser Goth fools: The fact is that most "Goth" bozos are in it for the looks. The guys get into it because they want to be "The Crow" and the chicks do it because they have some delusion that all the make-up and Morticia outfits will cover up their otherwise ugly appearance. Here's a hint folks: You're still ugly no matter how much make-up you wear, Your poetry still sucks no matter how many vampires are in it, and you're still lame no matter how much you spend on your wardrobe. Some of you might think this hypocritical coming from a guy who wears the same black clothes everyday. Well, once again, figure it out.
6) Abercrombie and Fich: Did I fall asleep for a few decades and miss something? Since when did this clothing company take over the world? I took a day and counted how many people I saw wearing clothes by A&F, my total: 213 in the space of 8 hours. The clothes aren't anything that special, they look just like every other piece of sweatshop garbage made by indentured slaves out of some third world country. It is time for this company to be destroyed.
7) Sprite comics: Stupid. You might as well cut pictures out of a newspaper. And they're all about the same thing: Megaman kills Super Mario and then bangs the princess or something else only a 14 year old boy cold imagine. Give it up.
8) Getting a zit right between your shoulder blades where you can't reach it: I hate that shit.
9) Hypochondriacs: I have no fucking patience for these people anymore. If you give into their shit and give them sympathy then you're just playing into their game and encouraging them. You are not sick. You are not going to die of the West Nile Virus, or cancer, or fucking SARS. It's all in your head. Shut the hell up already.
10) The Ditech.com Loan Officer: Where the fuck do they find these idiots? I can picture the board meeting: "Let's get a gross ugly bucket of Lard-ass donkey jizz to be our new spokesman." I hate those stupid commercials. "Darn, I lost another loan to Ditech!" Hey, I lost my left foot up your ass you big fat boring loser. Please, get rid of this guy.

The Seven Steps to Competency
As leaders, we sometimes forget that our organization's goals must be translated into actions that will achieve those goals.
It's not enough to know where your organization is going. Once you create a worthy vision, clear mission, and sound values, common sense says that some other vital changes must take place. Naturally, the more profound your course correction, the more profound the changes will be. But, in regard to human resources, a logical sequence of steps must take place before you can progress toward your corporate mission. Once purpose and direction have been established, the next step is to make sure your people have the appropriate competencies.

I've been doing a lot of comparing this week. Like comparing myself to other moms, our finances with other families finances or our struggles to another families successes. I am sitting here emotionally spent and my heart all bound up in anger, jealousy, sadness, guilt and discontentment.
A lot of my friends and their families have big vacations planned this summer. I see it on social media how excited they are for the experiences they will have and the time away as a family. They will likely make great memories and come back sharing lots of stories (not to mention blow up my social media feed with perfect pictures of their vacation).
My husband and I have come to the realization that a trip of any kind this summer may not happen for us as a family because learning to survive as a one income family and stay out of debt has taken it's toll on us. TRUTH. I don't say this so you will have pity, I say this for those other mommas that are going through the same struggles to let you know you are not ALONE!
FOMO. Fear Of Missing Out. I am feeling it first hand that FOMO is where contentment goes to die. I let being discontent in our lack of vacation bleed into so many other areas of my life – discontentment in my home, my clothes, and my day-to-day activities. I've always struggled with this, but it is slapping me hard in the face right now.
I came across a booklet this morning from MOPS International and wanted to share what God led me to read today:
"The struggle of comparison is so real. The pressure to look like/act like/eat like/smell like/exercise like/contour like/think like/dress like the woman next to you is enormous. This is unfair and harmful to your Self, so channel your comparison in new ways. Rather than using it as a measuring stick, use it as inspiration and appreciation for what makes each of us unique. Our bodies, minds and spirits are like fingerprints – intricate, important and vastly diverse."
No, I'm not comparing myself physically to another woman, but I am comparing my life and my experiences. So, I am going to try and fight this every day with thanking God for <insert list of incredible blessings God grants me with every day> and being intentional about being thankful and not so jealous. I am wearing a bracelet on my wrist so that every time I start acting or feeling discontentment creep in I can look down at it and remember to thank God for my blessings.
What are some things that help you remember to be content in your life?

After forcing Facebook users to switch to a separate Messenger app to continue chatting, the social network is about to start pushing adverts on those using the function.
The thing about phones is that the screens are tiny. All this stuff on a laptop is seriously annoying, but it quickly makes everything unusable on a tiny screen. Also, everyone who thinks up this stuff imagines a world where everyone has (close to) unlimited data,* but not everybody does and all this shit eats through your data in addition to making the apps just horrible.
*And of course, your phones are very useful when you are traveling outside the country, but every app is constantly talking to the mother ship unless you spend a lot of time trying to tell them to stop, eating through expensive data very very quickly.

3 Things to Know About Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is one of the most common methods of treating cancer in India and world over. But not a lot of people are fully aware of what chemotherapy treatment really entails. This post will explain 3 main things you need to know about chemotherapy – what is the medical purpose of chemotherapy, how it can be administered to a patient, and the cost of chemotherapy treatment in India.
Purpose of chemotherapy treatment
Chemotherapy is the medical use of drugs and anticancer medications to cure a person from the disease of cancer. The treatment may be given with the aim to achieve one or more of these purposes:
Cure – With reference to curing cancer, chemotherapy drugs are given to a patient to kill the cancer causing cells or attack a tumor with the aim to destroy it completely.
Control – When speaking of using chemotherapy to control cancer it means using medication to prevent the cancerous cells from spreading and reaching other organs or parts of the body.
Palliation – In advanced stage cancer cases that may be beyond control, chemotherapy may even be used simply to reduce symptoms of cancer such as pain, and help the patient feel healthier to improve the quality of life.
Administering chemotherapy medication
There are four ways to give a patient the chemo medication:
Orally – In this case the patient is given one or a combination of medications and drugs to be taken through the mouth, usually in the form of a tablet or liquid. Depending on the doctor's advice, they may be given the medication either at home or in a hospital.
Intravenously – With the help of a needle, the drug is injected directly into the vein by a medical professional at a clinic or hospital.
Injection – The chemical drug is injected into the patient's arm, thigh, or elsewhere, just like a regular injection.
Topically – Certain chemotherapy medication may even be in the form of a liquid or cream that is applied directly to the skin.
Direct placement – The drug is given through a lumbar puncture or a device placed under the scalp.
Cost of chemotherapy treatment in India
The cost of chemotherapy treatment for cancer may vary from case to case depending on the severity, stage, type and the prognosis for treatment. A single session of chemotherapy is likely to cost anything between Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000, and most cases may require multiple such sessions. A few cycles of chemo treatment along with medical test and doctors' fees, may run into several lakhs.
That said, there are a few ways to arrange for funds for chemotherapy treatment. Personal savings, insurances, and loans are among the most common ones. But sometimes even insurance may not suffice. Cancer patients today are turning to alternative methods such as crowdfunding, to raise money quickly through an online portal where people come together to help friends, families, and strangers in grave financial need. Today there are several platforms for crowd funding in India where one can start a cancer fundraiser for free, and Impact Guru is one such crowdfunding platform.
