Hey guys! Since I have about 140 followers, hopefully SOME of you will read this! XD Haha! My friend Reese got a blog, and I'd LOVE for you guys to check it out! It's super cool! Here's the link:
Thank you guys!!!!
HI GUYS!!!! Did you miss me? Probably not. 😉 😛 Haha! I've got a LOOOOOT to tell you, so get ready! First of all, sorry I haven't been posting or replying to comments, I've been super busy, and just didn't feel like blogging. That doesn't sound very good…but it actually is. Before I was spending (it's hard to say this…) too much time on here… and it wasn't good. But I've been feeling so much more productive when I'm not on here every minute of every hour of EVERY DAY. So. Here I am. I hopefully won't be gone AS often, but I won't be on here 24/7 either. I have to admit, it does still feel pretty good to be typing more again! 😛 I'll tell you a bit of what I've been doing and what's been going on while I wasn't blogging.
First of all.. I'm not really doing NaNo anymore. I still hope to write the book, but I couldn't make myself get that many words written, and this month WAS WAY TOO BUSY for nano. So…yeah. 😉 We have three thanksgiving things, a banquet, church twice a week, co-op and ultimate frisbee on mondays…just.. too busy. 😉 Haha!
so, GUESS WHAT!? I started reading Proverbs. It's been SO good! I love it. It's really helping me with some stuff I'm trying to get through right now. I'm really just trying my best to be a great friend, and not to overpowering. I'm the kind of person that thinks about what I'm saying after I've already said it, not before, or even during. That's not always good… But Proverbs is good. It's been a couple days since I've read it, but I really need to.
I got to give a speech in front of our friends, and I chose to do it about Spurs. It was great, and I feel like I learned some about them too. It was great. I'm now supposed to do a …biographical report…or something like that… and I'm doing it on (most likely) Trevor Brazile! Look him up. 😉 He's a rodeo cowboy. I thought about doing it about my AWESOME DAD, but he told me not to. 😐
With all of the stuff with pro cowboys, and rodeo people.. It got me to thinking- The important cool ones aren't always the ones that are out in the arena with 100,000,000 people watching them. Sometimes, the best ones are the ones that not many people really look very close at. The ones that gather cattle, work cattle, help work buffalo, drive cows down the alleyways, get kicked by calves, castrate bulls etc. Sometimes it's the ones in the background that we don't focus on as closely. And I personally think that they deserve just as much respect, because if they're real about what their doing, then you can know that they're having JUST as much fun cutting cattle as the ones in the big arena winning prizes are. Anyhow, I'll tell you about what I've been doing lately and stop focusing so much on random stuff. 😉
I've helped some people work cattle twice without having anyone else from my family there, and just drove them down the alleyway, keeping the space behind the chute with two cattle in it. It was harder than you might think. Haha! But I got paid, and it was pretty fun.
I also worked with Gadget for the first time in FOREVER!! I just caught him, led him down the hill, through the gate with the electric fence- which he didn't want to do at first- and then let him eat a bit. I tried to brush him when he was tied up, which I did get done. He was being so fidgety though, I left him tied up for a bit until he was being a good boy and stopped pawing. Then I put him away.
If you've read my last post, you know that I was leash training my pups. I have all of them pretty well leash trained now.
The other day, daddy, my sister, and I, went down to chop wood (that time of year again. ) and my sister brought her dog, Guiney, down. Daddy and Maddy went up to the leather shop to find something for a mini windmill my sister was making, and I took the advantage to get a pretty good pile of wood stacked up! Then a couple days later daddy and I went down to chop some more, and I decided to bring Aggie, and she played down there. She went in the calves pen and played with them for a bit *sigh* But came out when I called her. She's been SO sweet lately. I love her so much. She's like a tiny pup. Every night when I go to do the dog chores, I bring an apple, and give her the apple core when I'm done with it. She LOVES fruit!
OH, and my PIGLETS!! GUYS they're SO BIG, and SO NUTS!! They're both SO SWEET AND FRIENDLY NOW! They both like to lay on me and cuddle. They're great…but rather expensive to feed.. 😮 I still have 5 pups of my own to sell. Any of you want one? 😛 My other rooster disappeared, and I'm assuming he got caught by a possum or coyote. Well… that's about all I can think of that's been going on lately I guess..Oh yeah, and I'm hoping to add some stuff to my room here pretty soon! That'll be fun.
Also, for any of you that voted for me as the friendliest blogger on the Best of 2016 you don't realize how much that means to me. You really don't. You guys are cool-so cool! 🙂 Okay, time for me to go do the dogie chores!!! 😉 Before dad gets done with the other chores! :O 😀 Haha, bye!BTW, I REALLY tried to put pictures on here, but they wouldn't load. SORRY! 😦
See ya later! 😉
Hello friends! This afternoon, I'm going to give you guys some tips on lead/leash training your dog or pup. Now have you ever walked a dog that just pulled you down the sidewalk? Maybe it was your friends- maybe it was yours…but I'm sure some of us have had that happen before. It's SO much easier to just train them when they're pups NOT to do that- and it also makes for a MUCH better dog to walk with.
BUT, even if your full grown dog isn't very good on a leash, and pulls a lot, you can STILL at least help it to be a little better. No, it might not be as good as if it had been trained as a pup, but it can still be better. But you can't let it be the sled dog at the front of the pack. Not unless you want it to be a sled dog. I don't like it when there are dogs who pull me around, and if YOU do, well then…why are you reading this post? When they're pups, they're not quite strong enough (at least if they're littler, younger pups) to pull you across the neighborhood yet! They're still small enough for you to have control over and let them know that though you're their friend, you're also the boss. I'm sure some of you still have pups, or maybe your friends do, and I ask you to please not just let the dog pull around where he wants, he needs to have boundaries.
So…imagine this small husky pup. It's little and cute. And it chews on your shoe laces and jumps on your leg, playfully barking. You put a leash on it and let it go where it wants.
NOW, picture this, a HUGE husky DOG that bites you, and jumps on all your little kid friends, knocking them down. It doesn't MEAN to hurt them, but when you've been telling it that jumping was alright all these years, and then you say NO, it doesn't know what you mean! And it BARKS, because you used to think it was 'so cute'.
Same with leashes. As a huge dog, you don't have much control over it. The best you can do for a large dog that's not well leash trained, is probably to tie it on a chain to somewhere, and just let it fight it out on the leash that it won't chew through. Believe me, this is NOT mean. It needs to understand that it can't fight the leash all it's life. I mean, don't just leave it there for three days! You should be smarter than THAT…but if it has absolutely NO respect for a leash and just flails around, then it might just hurt you if you try to leash train it at that age. If it's just one that pulls a lot, you can just pull back a lot, eventually, it might get a little bit tired, and it should be easier to lead.
If you live in the country and don't want to ever use a leash, then just get it good enough so that it knows come very well. You don't NEED to train your dog on a leash IF you live in the country..but believe me, it's awful nice to know that you were able to teach them, and it will be a good picture if someone sees you walking your nice trained dog.
And you need to at LEAST try to give it some meaning of 'heel' or whatever word you use for your dog to not pull on you. You can tug it, to keep it from going to far ahead, or staying to far back. I'm not very used to training olderish dogs to heel, but pups I can. So, if you have a pup that you want to train, or just would like to know how to, read the stuff below.
This morning I got out two of my pups. You guys know that I have lots, and I haven't been doing enough with them. So, dad said the next step for them, is to leash train them. They were born in late June, 2016, so they are definitely old enough and big enough for it now. I'm not sure exactly what AGE is best to train at, but I'm sure at least 8 weeks (usually when the pup is able to be bought) is good enough.
What type of collar do I use for them? Well, the one I use is called a choke chain. WAIT, now don't start judging yet, it's not a chain that chokes them- well.. if you use it wrong it might! But you don't use a choke chain to CHOKE them. This is what one looks like.
In using a choke chain, it has two O-rings on each side of a chain thing. You put the chain thing through one of the O-rings and it forms a circle of which you can put over your dog/pup's head. Now, if your pup is behind you, and won't come, try a phrase. If you want to use 'heel'-go ahead-but I use 'come on' if I want them to come up to me from behind, and 'come here' if they're too far ahead. So if it's lagging behind, you say 'come on', give it a chance to come on it's own, and if it doesn't, then you give it a tug. When you use that specific collar, if you have the leash loose, (and have the collar on right) it will leave the collar nice and loose, but if you pull on the leash, it will tighten the collar!
It works.
So you say 'Come on', then give a little tug. If they don't reply to a little tug, give a firm one, with another 'come on'. After a while, they'll realize that if you say 'come on' that means that you're about to pull, and they should come up by you. When they come up, make sure to every now and then give them a good pet on the head and tell them good boy/girl.
If they go too far ahead, you can say 'come here' (like me) or whatever you like, and then give a tug for them to come back. After a while, you may say your phrase for them to not go up, and they'll stop to wait for you to catch up, or come back.
Also something you could do- make sure you know HOW much of the leash you want them to have. Sometimes for a pup, so you're not taking away much of their freedom, you can give them quite a bit of leash, but make sure that if they start getting to the end, you tell them, before tugging, to come back -so that they know not to go all the way to the end or pull. They may 'memorize' the length and not go past that specific length. Of course you don't need to always do the same length. You can hold them by your side for sometimes too… And once your pup starts getting good at running by your side, or lagging behind then catching quickly up when you ask him or her too, you can let it know different speeds. For example:
A while back, I had a dog named Terri. She was almost two, and I had trained her to walk on a leash pretty nicely. I wanted her to be the perfect dog for whoever she went to. I thought- if she goes to an old couple, I want her to be alright with walking slow! So I would walk extremely slow, and sure enough, she'd walk nice and slow beside me- with a bit of training. Then I thought "What if she goes to a runner!?" So I would run/jog with her and show her how to stay beside me. Pretty soon I could go from a walk to a run and she'd be pretty close to my side. Even though she was good with mainly walking a fast walk, like I usually did. 🙂 I did get her sold, to a good owner with other dogs.
So in training your pup- if they've NEVER had a leash or collar on before, it will be a little nuts at first. But don't give up! 😉 This morning when I got my pup- Vik- out, it was the very first time he'd EVER had a leash on! He fought it, and didn't like it, but I comforted him, and taught him, and by the end of our SHORT walk, he was doing pretty great! My pups still aren't good about not jumping. In fact, Vik was being a pain, because he was biting me! And jumping. So, in the middle of teaching him to be good on a leash, I ALSO went to teaching him how to lie down. For stock dogs- and any dog- it is nice for them to know Lie Down. Sit is more commonly used for dogs that aren't used for stock purposes, but we do lie down. It also taught him to just calm down, not jump, and then we'd continue our walk! To get them to lie down, you tell them the command, and then use your foot to push down on the leash close to their collar, pulling their head (and the rest of their body with it) to the ground. You hold it to the ground, and they may flail a bit, but then they'll collapse to the ground. As SOON as they do, you release on the leash and give the collar slack if it didn't itself, then you tell them what a good dog they are and if they jump right back up, put them down on the ground again. If you do that a few times on your walk, they'll be better about it once you're almost home again!
One thing that the second pup I took on a walk was doing, was he would lurch forward (not enough to pull on the leash though.) and then wait for me. I didn't mind, because he wasn't pulling on the leash any. So he was doing good. By the end, he was just trotting RIGHT along next to me, and I was EXTREMELY happy that I had gotten him that well. So I made sure to praise him with a lot of 'good boy's as he was walking along next to me. All in all I'm happy with how they both were when I got them back to the house! 🙂 Now just… 6 more to go… 😛
Also something my pups do is chew on the leash, they DON'T like it…and they're not going to for the first bit.. Make sure they know NOT to chew on the leash while you're walking, but don't spend too much time telling them not to chew on it (my personal advice) or else they'll think, oh, the more I chew on it, the less we actually walk! But if you pull on the leash, and make it uncomfortable for it to be in their mouth, and just pretend that they're not doing it, they'll think 'oh, well it's not making a difference anyways.' BUT the leash I was using was pretty thick too, so they didn't actually chew it apart. If you notice that they're chewing it apart, then they do need to know not to do that, and also it might be good to use part chain down there. That's another reason why the choke chain is nice, because if you get a big one, it won't be too small or too big, but they won't be able to REACH the rope, just the chain. And they won't (probably) want to chew on a chain. But I was using a small pup sized choke chain, so this time that didn't work.
So, how did you like it? Drop me a comment and tell me. If you liked this post, then LIKE it! 😉 I hope this helped at least some of you. And I thought it was about time to do a 'how-to' sort of post. Well, have a good day everyone, and I hope this comes in handy! 🙂
P.S. I do recommend using something similar to the choke chain, it works really well. 😉

Azealia Banks Trashes Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus & Taylor Swift On Twitter: 'They're BASIC'
Azealia Banks is not one to keep her opinions to herself. As the feud between Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj goes on, the rapper decided to voice her point of view on Nicki and Miley's music. She also threw a dig at Taylor Swift's music into her rant as well.
Taylor Swift, 25, isn't involved in Miley Cyrus, 22, and Nicki Minaj's, 32, feud, but that didn't stop Azealia Banks, 24, from grouping the "Bad Blood" singer into her rant. The young rapper went off on the fight going on between Miley and Nicki and past feud between Nicki and Taylor by calling all of their music basic! See what else Azealia had to say about Miley, Nicki, and Taylor. To hear more about Taylor Swift, head over to iTunes and download the latest HollywoodLife podcast for free!
Azealia is not interested in any of the fighting going on between Nicki and Miley. She doesn't even care about Nicki and Taylor's feud, even though that ended as quickly as it started. The rapper ranted on Twitter on Sept. 2 and wrote, "It's so funny to wake up and see nicki and Miley or nicki and taylor fighting when you ALL make basic ass music. it's a ki !!!" That wasn't the only diss towards the talented trio of women. Read below for the rest of Azealia's rant.

In the midst of her rant, the 24-year-old rapper threw in a tweet about her album being available for purchase.
Azealia Stands Up For Nicki While Dissing Iggy
Azealia must've been tired of hearing about the ongoing feud between Miley and Nicki. In Dec. 2014, the rapper actually stood up for Nicki when she was calling Iggy Azalea, 25, out for not talking about the Eric Garner case in public. Azealia opened up about Nicki during the rant and said, "Nicki is a hard-working rap-BEAST. stop trying to degrade and BELITTLE Our culture with this f***ing kkk iggy s–t."
HollywoodLifers, do you think Nicki, Taylor, and Miley should respond to Azealia's opinion on their music being basic?

Weighing scales are an integral part of the construction industry. Every construction site is rugged and harsh. This makes it necessary to have the right type of weighing system that can produce accurate results.
Let's see which weighing scales can be used in the construction industry.
7 Types of Weighing Scales a Construction Business Can Use
- Floor Scales
Industrial Floor scales are heavy-duty weighing equipment used for light or heavy load weighing. These scales sit on the flooring surface or are incorporated into the flooring, making the scales level with the ground.
Floor scales are durable and rugged. The weighing surface of the scale is available in many dimensions and surface materials. Floor scales can withstand heavy-duty weights with ease.
They provide accurate and reliable measurements. You can reduce the chances of revenue loss that can be a result of inaccurate weighing.
- Crane Scales
Crane scales perform two functions at the same time:
- Pick up heavy objects
- Determine their weight
The modern crane scales have features that make weighing the loads easier, faster and more efficient. They have rechargeable batteries and LCD/LED displays that show accurate readings.
Crane scales are available in different sizes: compact, medium and heavy duty. These scales can lift weights from one ton to two hundred and fifty tons.
They also have a warning signal as a safety feature. The signal gets triggered when the predetermined weight is exceeded.
Since the construction industry requires heavy lifting, crane scales are an excellent asset to have.
- On-Board Weighing Scales
The on-board weighing scales are compatible with any loading system once they are configured correctly.
They are specifically designed to handle loads of varying weights and material types. On-board weighing scales are durable and sturdy, thus making them ideal to use in the construction industry.
They give accurate and precise measurements of the loads. They ensure that the trucks carrying the loads are not overweight. Since the construction industry transports materials of varying weights on the truck, it is important that the truck's weight doesn't exceed.
- Portable Weighing Scales
Portable weighing scales can be carried and used in any location. They are extremely lightweight and portable.
This allows the construction workers to transport the scales easily. They can assemble them on the construction site and dismantle once the weighing is done. The portable weighing scales can be set up with ease on any surface.
They can withstand the harsh condition of a construction site as they are built from durable materials. The scales can be integrated with software for maximum precision.
Since these scales provide accurate readings, you can minimize material and financial losses.
- Weighbridge Truck Scales
A weighbridge is a heavy-duty truck scale that is designed particularly to weigh trucks, lorries and heavy vehicles.
Weighbridge truck scales are available as:
- Surface-mounted which can be accessed via a ramp
- Pit-mounted where the scales are at level with the road
You can use them in the rugged and demanding construction environment as they are made of steel or concrete.
- Conveyor Belt Scales
Conveyor belt scales weight the materials while carried on conveyor belts.
They are designed to be installed on the conveyor belt with ease. They can be used outdoors, indoors or in warehouse settings. You can even use conveyor belt scales in tight and confined spaces with ease.
They can weigh light and heavy construction materials accurately and precisely. Their efficiency helps in increasing productivity and profitability.
- Wash down Scales
The construction industry isn't immune to dust, water and other substances. Additionally, it has rugged conditions, messy settings, damp environment or dirty surroundings. Not many scales can be used in such settings, apart from wash down scales.
They are ideal for the demanding conditions of the construction site. They can prevent liquids and particles from entering the internal components of the scale. Ingress Protection (IP) rating is used to determine the different conditions wash down scales can be used in.
IP ratings indicate the resistance the scales would have against elements like dust, water and the kind of cleaning it can handle. You can use these scales in a humid environment too. They resist spills and can be washed safely with a pressure hose.
Choose the right weighing scale based on the conditions and requirements of your construction site. Whichever scale you choose, ensure you calibrate them frequently. This assures accurate and reliable readings every single time.

The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multirole jet fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. Over 4,500 aircraft have been built since production was approved in 1976. Although no longer being purchased by the U.S. Air Force, improved versions are still being built for export customers. In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation, which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.
The Fighting Falcon is a fighter with numerous innovations including a frameless bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while maneuvering, a seat reclined 30 degrees to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot, and the first use of a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire flight control system that makes it a highly nimble aircraft. The F-16 has an internal M61 Vulcan cannon and has 11 hardpoints for mounting weapons and other mission equipment. The F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", but "Viper" is commonly used by its pilots, due to a perceived resemblance to a viper snake as well as the Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper starfighter.

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. These episodes usually last 10 seconds or more and occur repeatedly throughout the night. People with sleep apnea will partially awaken as they struggle to breathe, but in the morning they will not be aware of the disturbances in their sleep. The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), caused by relaxation of soft tissue in the back of the throat that blocks the passage of air. Central sleep apnea (CSA) is caused by irregularities in the brain's normal signals to breathe. Most people with sleep apnea will have a combination of both types. The hallmark symptom of the disorder is excessive daytime sleepiness. Additional symptoms of sleep apnea include restless sleep, loud snoring (with periods of silence followed by gasps), falling asleep during the day, morning headaches, trouble concentrating, irritability, forgetfulness, mood or behavior changes, anxiety, and depression. Not everyone who has these symptoms will have sleep apnea, but it is recommended that people who are experiencing even a few of these symptoms visit their doctor for evaluation. Sleep apnea is more likely to occur in men than women, and in people who are overweight or obese.
There are a variety of treatments for sleep apnea, depending on an individual's medical history and the severity of the disorder. Most treatment regimens begin with lifestyle changes, such as avoiding alcohol and medications that relax the central nervous system (for example, sedatives and muscle relaxants), losing weight, and quitting smoking. Some people are helped by special pillows or devices that keep them from sleeping on their backs, or oral appliances to keep the airway open during sleep. If these conservative methods are inadequate, doctors often recommend continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), in which a face mask is attached to a tube and a machine that blows pressurized air into the mask and through the airway to keep it open. Also available are machines that offer variable positive airway pressure (VPAP) and automatic positive airway pressure (APAP). There are also surgical procedures that can be used to remove tissue and widen the airway. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a surgically implantable device placed in the upper chest that monitors a person's respiratory signals during sleep and stimulates a nerve to send signals to a muscle to stimulate and restore normal breathing. Some individuals may need a combination of therapies to successfully treat their sleep apnea.
Untreated, sleep apnea can be life threatening. Excessive daytime sleepiness can cause people to fall asleep at inappropriate times, such as while driving. Sleep apnea also appears to put individuals at risk for stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs, also known as "mini-strokes"), and is associated with coronary heart disease, heart failure, irregular heartbeat, heart attack, and high blood pressure. Although there is no cure for sleep apnea, recent studies show that successful treatment can reduce the risk of heart and blood pressure problems.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and other institutes of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) conduct research related to sleep apnea in laboratories at the NIH, and also support additional research through grants to major medical institutions across the country. Much of this research focuses on finding better ways to prevent, treat, and ultimately cure sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea.

One of the best fastfood restaurant I have got in to also has of the best burgers I've tasted, Johnny Rockets.
It was the 50's setting, specially the music that got me. I grew up listening to the songs my dad listens to. From the Beach Boys, Herman Hermits, The Monkees, The Mamas and the Papas. It very felt very nostalgic. I always wanted to experience how it feels like living in the era where those songs got popular. I remember a scene in Back to the Future where Michael J Fox enters a restaurant which looks like Johnny Rockets. Johnny Rockets is the closest I can get.
The food is definitely delicious in huge servings, and surprisingly affordable. I thought that it would be worth more.
Don't be surprised if you see the waiters suddenly gathers is one area and dance to the tune of My Sharona, or Rock Baby Rock or any 70′ s dance music.

A large, long-term study has confirmed that drinking alcohol during their late teens could be the first step towards liver problems in adult men…
Alcohol is the leading cause of liver cirrhosis and liver-related deaths.
"Our study showed that how much you drink in your late teens can predict the risk of developing cirrhosis later in life," explains lead investigator Hannes Hagström, MD, PhD, of the Centre for Digestive Diseases, Division of Hepatology, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.
"However, what can be considered a safe cut-off in men is less clear."
Almost 40-year follow-up study
Investigators used data from a nationwide population-based study conducted from 1969 to 1970 of all Swedish men conscripted into military service. The study was based on more than 49 000 young Swedish men, aged 18 to 20.
Researchers matched personal identification numbers from the conscription data with records in the National Patient Register and the Causes of Death Register to establish whether participants had developed severe liver disease up to the end of 2009.
After 39 years of follow-up, 383 men had developed a severe liver disease, which was defined as a diagnosis of liver cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease (hepatocellular carcinoma, ascites, oesophagal varices, hepatorenal syndrome, or hepatic encephalopathy), liver failure or death from liver disease.
Before adjustment for body mass index, tobacco consumption, the use of narcotics, cardiovascular fitness, and cognitive ability, the risk was significant for daily alcohol consumption as low as six grams per day. These results are only valid for men and need to be validated in women.
"If these results lead to lowering the cut-off levels for a 'safe' consumption of alcohol in men, and if men adhere to recommendations, we may see a reduced incidence of alcoholic liver disease in the future," says Dr. Hagström.
Related: How alcohol increases your risk of cancer
Alcohol-related cirrhosis kills 493 300 annually
According to the World Health Organization's 2014 global status report on alcohol and health, alcohol-related cirrhosis is responsible for 493 300 deaths each year.
Although there is no approved treatment, the alcohol-related disease is theoretically 100% preventable, which makes the role of preventive measures central in decreasing the impact of excessive alcohol consumption on society.

Email us anytime at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 03 6218 2841.
2. How can I subscribe to your newsletter?
Simply go to the news page enter your email, name and organisation into the subscription form and submit it.
3. Industry Reference Committees (IRCs)
Artibus Innovation is the Secretariat for two IRCs which meet quarterly.
Further information about IRCs and their members can be found on the Australian Industry Skills Committee website.
4. How can I provide input and suggestions to the IRCs?
As the secretariat, Artibus Innovation is the conduit between stakeholders and the IRC. Please send any communications for either of the above IRCs via us.
5. How do I find a training organisation to deliver the training I am interested in?
This information can be found at either training.gov.au and/or Myskills.
6. What if units of competency within a qualification have been updated but the superseded units are appearing within a qualification on Training.gov.au?
The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) states: "Sometimes, a qualification or accredited course will specify a core or named elective unit or module that has been superseded, removed or deleted from another training package. In these cases, you must continue to include the component/s as named in the qualification or course being delivered."
7. How can I deliver superseded and non-equivalent units that are mapped to current qualifications?
RTOs need to find a strategy to cover the gap between the current and superseded unit. If the new unit covers more, then a mapping document needs to be developed to show the auditors to give credit for the old unit. If the new unit contains less, then a gap strategy needs to be applied.
8. What does it mean on training.gov.au when the release date is 'current' but the usage recommendation is 'superseded'?
- This occurs when a qualification has been updated on the National Register, but there still maybe enrolments in the previous version.
- When a qualification is superseded by a new qualification, there is generally 12 months to ensure all training and assessment is completed, or the learner is transferred to the replacement course. Some qualifications may have had the teach our period extended to assist RTOs to transition. This is commonly where a new qualification is substantially changed or requires regulatory change.
- Where a course is removed, training and assessment must be completed within a period of two years and new students cannot be enrolled within this period. More information can be found on the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) website, or in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 under clause 1.26.
9. What are the requirements for assessors?
Assessors must have a formal recognition of competency at least to the level being assessed. They must have relevant industry experience within the last two years in the competency area being delivered, and they must have relevant occupational registration or licensing where this is a requirement in the jurisdictions in which the qualification is being assessed. Further information on this is contained in the Companion Volume Implementation Guides for each training package.
10. The occupation I am training for requires a license. How can I ensure that the course I am undertaking will enable me to obtain the license?
The regulator or licensing body in your state or territory will be able to advise you of their current licensing requirements.
11. What is recognition of prior learning (RPL)?
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is assessment of a learner's competence. It involves a training organisation undertaking an assessment of each individual who applies to determine how much that individual's previous experience is equivalent to the learning outcomes of the components of the final qualification. RPL should be done by academic or teaching staff with expertise in the subject, content or skills area, as well as knowledge of and expertise in RPL assessment. Further information is available from ASQA.
12. What is credit transfer?
This is a provision which enables learners to gain credit for learning outcomes they have already achieved. Credit transfer may result in entry into a qualification or for a reduction in the time required to achieve a qualification. Credit transfer arrangements can be made between one or more issuing organisations. Credit transfer arrangements should be discussed with your prospective RTO.
13. When will CPC Release 5 be implemented?
Most of the qualifications within CPC Release 5.0 were endorsed at the February 2020 meeting of the AISC. Implementation of the release is awaiting a revised Case for Endorsement for the Certificate III in Carpentry and the addressing of further directives from that AISC meeting. It is anticipated that the matters raised will reach final endorsement at the August meeting of the AISC.
14. How are Training Packages developed?
The Training Package Organising Framework consist of the:
The Standards for Training Packages
The Training Packages Products Policy
The Training Package Development and Endorsement Policy
The above documents should be read in conjunction with each other and with any associated guidance material.

Mr Composure just hit a quarter-century and he ain't backing down on his creative endeavours. His new single Bvuma is now up on most digital platforms and as usual, it's on repeat on my Deezer playlist.
People will never stop singing about love and others will argue that love is everything. No arguments there especially when artists like Victor Stot continue helping us believe in love. The mellow synth this record is anchored on resembles a church-like-melody but does this in a totally fresh vibe. Kudos to Reverb7 for chipping in on the arrangement. The only thing that irked me there was the interlude near the end of the track. I felt it didn't marry well with the rest of the song. Apart from that, woza summer and wozani bo babes!
This song definitely has me feeling some typa way right now.
It's like the missing cape I need to be that superhero and go swoop up that lady whose DM I've been in for the last couple of weeks. Lest I end up saying way too much, go give the song a listen yourself and make your own decision on whether it's hot or not!

Anyway. Anyone remember this? I still maintain that the 80's produced not only some of the best series, but also some of the best soundtracks.
In fact, this whole site there is a delight to my ears. A delight that makes me feel OLD, but a delight all the same!

by Russell Brandom, The Verge
For years, the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act has been a headache for any tech company working with facial recognition. It's a simple law, requiring a person's explicit consent before a company can make a biometric scan of their body. In the eight years since the law was first passed, those scans have become a central part of products like Google Photos, Snapchat filters, and Facebook's photo-tagging system. All three companies are currently facing lawsuits for allegedly violating the Illinois law, producing biometric face prints without notifying Illinois citizens.
Now, Illinois' law is facing sudden and quiet changes that would dramatically reduce its power.
Yesterday, Illinois State Senator Terry Link quietly proposed a revision to the biometrics act, attached to a long-delayed bill concerning unclaimed property procedures. Under Link's revisions, the bill would be limited to "data resulting from an in-person process whereby a part of the body is traversed by a detector or an electronic beam." That conveniently rules out scans from preexisting photography, and — if the revisions become law — would end all three lawsuits in a single stroke.

Download Abstract
Online learning is a popular framework for sequential prediction problems. The standard approach to analyzing an algorithm's (learner's) performance in online learning is in terms of its empirical regret defined to be the excess loss suffered by the online learner compared to the best algorithm in hindsight. Regret makes sense when the learner's environment is oblivious; however, there is a serious difficulty in interpreting regret when the environment is reactive. The problem stems from the fact that regret evaluates any competing strategy on the same sequence of losses as generated in response to the learner's actions. This does not make much sense in reactive environments such as financial markets, healthcare, and social networks, where learner's actions affect potential future outcomes. To deal with this issue, we introduced policy regret, a counterfactual notion of regret designed to capture the reactive nature of the learning environment. In this talk, we will revisit policy regret in a partial observation setting given in terms of a feedback graph, and a game-theoretic setting where the environment is a self-interested agent rather than a malicious adversary.

IAWA Presents Laurie Fabiano and Egidio Coccimiglio on Saturday, November 13, 2010
IAWA Presents Laurie Fabiano and Egidio Coccimiglio on Saturday, November 13, 2010
On Saturday, November 13, 2010 the Italian American Writers Association (IAWA) is joined by Laurie Fabiano, author of Elizabeth Street and film director and screenwriter, Egidio Coccimiglio whose first effort at writing prose has resulted in A Pleasant Vertigo from Quattro Press.
After graduating college, Laurie Fabiano moved to her family's hometown of Hoboken, New Jersey, established the Hoboken Cultural Council, and created an innovative three-month arts and cultural festival. She went on to coordinate New York City's July 4th celebration.
After involvement in local political campaigns, she became Deputy Mayor of Hoboken during the administration of Thomas Vezzetti, a reform candidate dubbed "The Wackiest Mayor in America." When she left the Mayor's office, she continued a project she initiated - taking the first American Baseball team to the Soviet Union for a "Goodwill Tour." Motivated by the death of a family member, Fabiano became an AIDS activist and produced the AIDS Walks and AIDS Dance-a-thons around the country for seven years. As the Robin Hood Foundation's Senior Vice President, she helped grow the Foundation into the largest private organization fighting poverty in New York City. She is now the President of Fab Tool, a marketing and events company.
Egidio Coccimiglio is a film director and screenwriter. He was born in Sault Ste. Marie, the son of an immigrant steelworker. A Film Arts graduate of Ryerson University in Toronto, his independent films have won critical awards in Chicago, Houston, Montreal and Lisbon. Among his optioned screenplays currently in development are Imaginary Grace, a psychological drama, Black Madonna, an Italian immigrant saga with Prospero Pictures (Hotel Rwanda) and Silent City, a futuristic thriller. A Pleasant Vertigo is his first effort at writing prose; and it was named as the co-winner of the 2009 Ken Klonsky novella contest.
Of A Pleasant Vertigo, Quincy Jones writes: "Since the age of 14, my mentor was Dizzy Gillespie and through him I became addicted to the music of Cuba way back in the '40's. This book is an inventive and witty voice that cuts through like a slide trumpet."
The reading takes place Saturday, November 13, 2010, 5:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m., at the Cornelia St. Café, 29 Cornelia Street, NYC, (212-989-9319); www.corneliastreetcafe.com). The evening starts with Open Mic readings of five minutes each. IAWA is a 501(3)©not-for-profit corporation. Since 1991, the organization has given voice to writers through its Open Reading series at Cornelia St. Café every month. For membership information, visit www.iawa.net

Vast areas of the Netherlands seem to be filling up with low-cost housing, low-rent offices, warehouses and other low-density structures--producing a vast sea of architectural mediocrity. This book examines the prospects for animating this tendency. Conceived and edited by Winy Maas and Jacob van Rijs with Richard Koek and produced by MVRDV, FARMAX reads as an architectural narrative composed of studies and designs made by MVRDV and students from Delft University of Technology, the Berlage Institute and the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture and Urban Planning, along with contributions by other authors.

Pathologic 2 is an open world survival thriller game developed by 'Ice-Pick Lodge' and published by 'tinyBuild'. Pathologic is said to be coming out on the Xbox One the 12th of December 2019 and PlayStation 4 in 2020. It's already out on PC though. This game is supposed to be centred around a certain plague that's destroying society. Let's take a look.
Pathologic 2 is open world, so expect a whole world. Basically everything is taking place in a town. This town isn't normal at all. The town is being devastated by a deadly plague. This plague is more than just a disease. What's worse is that the chief local healer is dead. The player must take his place. Now the developers make this perfectly clear that you can't save everyone in Pathologic 2. You will be forced to make what's called lose-lose choices in situations. You need to get to know the society and try to make some friends or allies if you want to call them that.
So you can play this in different ways. Either make some allies and be friends with the locals or you could either just look out for yourself and as they say, "carve out your own path". When a plague is going on and people are dying with victims going crazy it's normally better to have allies and people who can back you up.
Now there is some danger off course in Pathologic 2. You probably thinking, well obviously X35 Earthwalker, you guys mentioned the plague but there's more though, the victims of of the plague have also got a problem with you and will make survival somewhat difficult, so you are facing both the victims of the plague and the plague itself. You don't have forever though. Players have 12 days.
Like Sims you have to manage your hunger, thirst, tiredness etc. Pathologic 2 is all about survival. Off course at the start of the game, things will definitely be bearable but the game is designed to get harder and harder. Your body just get worse and worse and maybe an organ becomes more unstable than ever before.
We checked out some Pathologic 2 gameplay and it's sort of what we expected. Fights in this game are short and vicious, you could fight people for their wallets or mug them. Some fights can cost you your life though. The one enemy you can't really face is the plague itself. Remember that this plague is more than just a disease. Much more.
Overall Pathologic 2 just looks like another survival game based heavily around choices you make in a set period of time. We haven't seen anything that has gotten us interested in this game though. Nothing stands out to us. We have seen from reviews that it must be good but a game must be more than just a good game for us. The developers have done a good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker aren't looking forward to it being on consoles but others will. Now Pathologic may have a dangerous plague going around but even this plague has no effect on… the 'Earth Walk!'

Seventeen teams took part in the event, with the Ministry of Health fielding three crews in their first corporate paddle race.
The challenge was eventually won by team Kitelicious, but their win didn't come easy as they had to battle tooth and nail to claim the top spot in a closely contested challenge.
Two-time winners Vaiana's finished in a close second place, followed by Topshape in third, with Prime Foods rounding out the top four.
Kitelicious also took out the fastest time of the day with 55.34 seconds, and won the prize for best-dressed team.
Boasting seasoned paddlers like Joyce Fortes and Keelyn Higgins, Kitelicious also managed a top-place finish in the final of the services/hospitality section.
In the tug-of-war battle it was the powerful Vaiana's crew who pulled their way to victory however.
This will be the only corporate paddle challenge for 2018, with the 2019 challenge expected to bring even more teams and more exciting V12 racing.

It's been a good reading week here: I finished Still Missing, by Beth Gutcheon, last Sunday afternoon, and then I read The Circular Staircase, by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Her mysteries were bestsellers in the United States in the early 20th century, and she's been called the American Agatha Christie. Judging from The Circular Staircase, her books are readable, but not high-quality literature—probably why they were bestsellers in the first place! Afterwards I read some nonfiction: Flapper, by Joshua Zeitz (a general social history of the 1920s flapper in the United States) and How Did You Get This Number, by Sloane Crosley. I read and enjoyed her first collection of essays, I Was Told There'd Be Cake, two years ago and loved it, so I was excited to receive a copy of this from the publisher. And it more than lives up to her first book, so I enjoyed it immensely.
I'm sort of vacillating between what I want to read now: I have Bedlam: The Further Secret Adventures of Charlotte Bronte out from the library, and I've tried with no success to get into The Shadow Princess, by Indu Sundaresan, set in early 17th-century India around the building of the Taj Mahal. It's an Amazon Vine book, so I'll have to review it at some point. Not sure what I'll say about it, though. I've had much better success with No Angel, by Penny Vincenzi, the first in the Spoils of Time series and set in the Edwardian era through the beginning of WWI. I originally bought this in 2001 when I was in England, but couldn't get into it, so returned the book. When I was in England again last fall, I decided to buy it again and try it one one time. So far, so good--it's a trashy yet fun family saga.
A while ago, while participating in Persephone Reading Week, I stumbled across the Virago Modern Classics collection, "a list dedicated to the celebration of women and to the rediscovery and reprinting of their work." Most of these authors are from the 19th and 20th centuries. Mention of Persephone I guess invariably leads to the question, "have you read anything published by Virago?" Virago Modern Classics (there are about 500 of them in all; and Verity, who reads more in a months than I do in a year, is attempting to read them all in her blog called Verity's Virago Venture) are known for their green covers and spine, and they've published everything from authors you've heard of (Daphne Du Maurier, Dodie Smith, Stella Gibbons, Barbara Pym) to the more obscure (at least to me)—Celia Fremlin, May Sinclair, or Charlotte Mary Yonge. The cover art of the Virago Modern Classics tends to be pretty fantastic, too. Looking at the full list, I've read about fifty of their books, in non-Virago editions, and there are a lot of books on the list that appear interesting. My TBR list has grown exponentially! It's taking all of my willpower NOT to go online and buy some right now… the cover below is that of the very first VMC published, Frost in May.

SugarHouse ushered in a brave new era for Pennsylvania's nascent sports betting industry when it launched the state's first online sportsbook on May 31. That followed three days of testing in which the operator accepted wagers while fine-tuning its digital offering. The Keystone State has now published its sports betting revenue report for May and it shows that the SugarHouse site took a handle of $573,163 in just three-and-a-half days at the end of the month. Three of those were test days, and the strong performance indicates that the handle will soar across Pennsylvania once online sports wagering is rolled out.
Until now bettors in the state have been forced to travel to one of eight brick and mortar sportsbooks if they want to bet in a safe and legal environment. Six are located in and around Philadelphia, one is in Pittsburgh and the other is near Harrisburg, meaning that some sports fans would have to drive for more than 100 miles to reach their nearest venue. But anyone in Pennsylvania can now access the SugarHouse app on their smartphones and bet until their hearts are content from the comfort of their living rooms. That opens up a much greater market for the state's operators.
All Change for SugarHouse
Chicago-based firm Rush Street Gaming owns SugarHouse and it is planning to rebrand it as Rivers Casino Philadelphia. It already operates Rivers in Pittsburgh, so named as it sits at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers. It has since opened two more Rivers casinos – one in Des Plaines, Illinois, which is near Chicago, and the other in Schenectady, New York. It feels that rebranding SugarHouse will "enable regional and national marketing to promote one Rivers Casino brand across multiple markets and channels."
"Since receiving our casino license in 2006, gaming in Pennsylvania has evolved tremendously," said Greg Carlin, chief executive at Rush Street Gaming. "Keeping pace with the changing landscape has been paramount to our success. Creating a unified brand is another example of how we're anticipating and responding to the competitive market for gaming." SugarHouse also has an online presence in New Jersey and that site is likely to be rebranded too.
Pennsylvania's Big Three
Rivers Pittsburgh's retail sportsbook has emerged as the most popular in the state during the early months of the industry. In May, it took a sports betting handle of $7.9 million, while SugarHouse was second at $7.4 million, followed by Parx Casino, which took $6.8 million. They are very much the big three in the state, as the others have seen far smaller figures so far. Rivers held revenue of $641,029 in May, whereas SugarHouse's revenue stood at a healthier $711,845 and Parx kept back $639,992, suggesting Pittsburgh punters are currently savvier than their Philly counterparts.
Rush Street Gaming expects to launch a Rivers Casino app this month, and this could see the SugarHouse site disbanded as the brand will soon be consigned to the history books. Parx is also preparing to launch an online sportsbook this month after appointing Kambi as its white-label provider. FanDuel is also planning to launch on the licence of Valley Forge Casino, while Harrah's Philadelphia and Hollywood Casino at Penn National should enter the online arena this summer. All of this activity should see Pennsylvania's sports betting handle shoot up, as it currently trails neighbouring New Jersey – a state with a slightly smaller population – by a significant margin.
New Jersey, which has been offering online sports betting for several months, recorded a handle of $318.9 million in May. That was up slightly on the previous month, and it dwarfed the $35.4 million that Pennsylvania's sportsbooks took last month. The vast majority of the Garden State's sports bets are placed online, where FanDuel and DraftKings are on fire. Despite the low handle and revenue of just $2.9 million, Pennsylvania took more than $1 million in tax during May, as it charges an eye-watering 36% tax rate on sportsbooks.
New England Heating Up
Elsewhere, lawmakers in Maine approved a sports wagering legalization bill this week. LD53 motored its way through the legislature on Tuesday and gained approval from both chambers on Wednesday. It has now been sent to Gov. Janet Mills' desk for her to sign it into law. It makes Maine the eighth state to give sports betting the green light in 2019, following in the footsteps of Montana, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Colorado, Illinois and its western neighbour, New Hampshire. Last year, Delaware, New Jersey, Mississippi, West Virginia, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania all launched legal sports betting industries, while a tribal casino in New Mexico began accepting sports wagers.
The legal sports betting trade is now spreading like wildfire across the country. New Jersey has gained the most attention, as it has taken a handle of more than $3 billion since it allowed sportsbooks to operate legally, but several other states are enjoying strong revenues. Maine is bidding to become one of the industry leaders, and its bill looks like one of the best around.
It is the first state to allow unrestricted, untethered third-party access. This means online operators are not forced to partner with a brick and mortar venue in the state. In New Jersey, for example, FanDuel has to operate on the Meadowlands licence, while DraftKings has teamed up with Atlantic City casino Resorts. Maine will simply be an open market, just like the one seen in mature sports betting markets such as the UK. Maine lawmakers believe this will allow the state's new industry to develop at a faster rate.
Land-based operators have been given one concession though, as they only have to pay a 10% tax on revenue, whereas online operators – who are not burdened by rents – have to pay 16% of their winnings. The licencing fee stands at just $20,000, which is tiny compared to the $10 million that Pennsylvania charges. Maine is the 42nd most populous state and it is unlikely to rival the likes of New Jersey, Nevada and Pennsylvania in terms of handle, but it could punch above its weight due to liberal legislation. It could also influence developments in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont, as the other three states in New England have now approved sports betting.
