Jeff believes that career professionals today in all industries have a responsibility to achieve their own sense of work-life balance, and he supports that quest through his website www.BreathingSpace.com.

A new year beckons and I harken back to when my daughter was four years old. Her mother and I bought her an old, upright piano. It was a little beat up, a little banged up, and was missing a few keys, but hey, for a 4-year old, it was fine. To our amazement, she played well. At age six, she began piano lessons. The teacher encouraged us that our little girl had a special talent.
Two years later, the piano teacher told us it was time to buy a Grand Piano for Valerie. It would be quite expensive, but she was now winning awards, so it seemed like the right thing to do.
In with the New
We went to a large piano emporium and Valerie tried all of them! Finally we came to a piano that proved to be "the one." She loved it and we bought it. We told Valerie that the piano movers were going to take the other piano in trade, but it didn't register with her. Days before the new one arrived, we cleaned up the old one, and then talked to Valerie about how that piano would be leaving and the new one would be arriving.
The old had been her piano from the age of 4 and she was now 8. In other words, she had been with this piano for half of her life. She broke into a sob – not just a kid crying, but a deep mourning sob, as if she had experienced the death of a parent or a close friend.
"It's the only piano I have ever known, I have been playing with it since I was 4! Why do we have to get rid of it?" Seeking to be a good father, I started to explain to her that realistically we couldn't keep both pianos. The house is a good size, but two pianos are a bit much. Psychology tells us the older you get, the harder it is to let go of attachments. The way we do things and how we think start to become embedded into the brain in the form of neural pathways. These pathways serve as paths of least resistance that prompt us to take mental shortcuts in response to stimuli.
Out with the Old?
We took photos of the piano and we videotaped her playing – we made sure we had it covered. I explained to her that once the old piano departed, she would start to play on the new one and she wouldn't even think of the old one. But hey, this is not an argument for an 8 year old. For days she lamented",Why do we have to get rid of the old one?"
Finally the day arrived. The piano movers came to deliver the new piano and take away the old one. Something in me, I don't know where it came from, finally got through to her. I was able to communicate with her in a way she could understand and accept. Or, maybe she got there on her own, I don't know.
After another tearful outbreak I said",Val, when the piano goes back to the store, then some other parents will see it and maybe they'll buy it for their little girl. She'll learn how to play, and she'll have that piano several years before she gets a bigger one."
Val's expression started to change a little. She was still sobbing, but I knew that she was ready to forsake her attachment when she said to me",Or maybe it will be a little boy."
Remarkable on a Small Scale
To me Valerie's ability to adapt represented an extraordinary chain of events. Here was an 8-year old willing to give up her attachment to something she had for half of her life. In 2014, we can all get better at letting go of what we no longer need, and gravitate toward prosperity.

Anyone who has ever broken down will recognise that awful sinking feeling you get when your car comes to a stop. You can feel so helpless and frustrated, but it must be even worse when you know it could have been prevented. According to the AA, flat tyres are the second most common reason for calling a breakdown service, and while some punctures are unavoidable, there are plenty of things you can do to reduce the risk of ending up stranded with a flat tyre. We've teamed up with Point S, a nationwide network of car tyre dealers, to bring you some top tips.
I haven't had a punctured tyre but my car has broken down before. The first time, about 7 years ago, my car completely cut out while at a roundabout, blocking traffic and leaving me stood in the pouring rain. The most recent time was a couple of months ago, when my engine started spluttering on the way to work and I had to wait for over 2 hours in the freezing cold. It's a horrible feeling!
I have to admit, I'm pretty rubbish when it comes to cars – I know how to check my tyre tread and pressure but I tend to leave it up to the other half most of the time! But it is so important to know how to carry out basic maintenance. Not only is it illegal to drive with tyres below adequate tread or pressure (you could end up with a hefty fine and points on your license) it can also be incredibly dangerous. It can increase braking distances and reduce grip on wet roads. Safety is the most important factor and we all want to be sure that we are being safe, especially when we are responsible for driving around our loved ones.
Here's a few tips to help you stay safe and stay moving:
- Regularly check the air pressure in your tyres, even if they don't look flat. Most fuel stations have air pressure facilities, or you could use a foot pump with a pressure gauge.
- Make sure you know the correct pressure for your tyres by checking your vehicle's user manual or the inside of the car door. Sometimes front and rear tyres require different levels of inflation, so always check. The legal limit for minimum depth of the tread on your tyres is 1.6 millimetres.
- If your tyre needs inflated and you have to drive to access a pump, reduce your speed to make sure you have control over your car.
- If your tyre is completely flat, then find a safe, level location away from traffic. If you have spare and are able to, you can change the tyre yourself. The Point S website features some tips on how to change a flat tyre.
- If you don't have a spare or are unable to change the tyre, then you will need to call a garage or breakdown service. I know what I would prefer – I don't think I would attempt to change a tyre myself but it's always good to know how to do it, just in case you find yourself in a situation where you need to. You should never try to change a tyre on the motorway or at the side of a busy road.
- When fitting a spare tyre to your car, check if there are any limits – some spares have a top speed limit or can only be used for a certain number of miles.
- If you need new car tyres – if yours continue to deflate or the tread is low – then check out www.point-s.co.uk, who can offer you a range of tyre manufacturers and fit them for you properly.
- It's a good idea to keep the following in your car – a torch, a reflective jacket, a blanket and warm clothing (during winter), water and snacks in case you are stranded for a while, a first aid kit and an in-car phone charger so you don't run out of battery if you need to call for assistance.

Good points! I did a post with Point S a while ago. I think their safety initiative is a brilliant idea. Tyres are so important! #thelist
I hate doing any kind of car maintenance, but my Son recently passed his test and so I took his car to the garage before he passed and got everything checked, oil, water, windscreen wash ( i can do that myself) tyre treads, pressure, etc I also am a complete control freak parent so got 2 phone chargers (in case 1 breaks) loose change for car parks etc, spare washer fluid and bottled water, the foam true stuff in case of a puncture (although he says he can change a tyre) also got a new spare tyre. I even keep a can of petrol in the boot just in case & he also has AA cover.
I have had to wait for the AA myself due to flat batteries and I would hate to think my son had to, so covered most eventualities until he gets used to checking all of these things himself.
Point S sound like a brilliant company to help us out with this sort of thing. Car and road safety is so important especially when carrying little ones around, and tyres are such an important part of the car given their contact with the road. There are some really useful tips here for tyre safety, we are fairly lucky and our car lets us know when the tyre pressure is too low, and we have run-flat tyres too. I no longer have my own car but I hated having to take it for its service or MOT, or having to call out the RAC when the batter was flat. I hope that Point S can take away the pain of maintaining a car. Thanks so much for linking up this week at #fortheloveofBLOG. Claire x

Dr. Whitley was working for the state Board of Regents when he was tapped to harness strong community support for a new college in Columbus. He oversaw school's transition from its start in an abandoned hosiery mill to the former dairy farm that became main campus. Under his leadership, Columbus College went from an idea, to a two-year junior college, to a four-year college, then to an institution that handed out its first master's degrees in 1974.
Dr. Brooke oversaw Columbus College during a difficult period of declining enrollments and shrinking state budgets. He reorganized the college's administrative structure, which had been based on junior college-style divisions, into schools. (These became the basis for CSU's academic colleges, established in 1998.) A former provost at Virginia Commonwealth University, Dr. Brooke introduced new standards for faculty research and outreach, developed the campus' first master plan, and organized the college's first capital campaign in 1983-1984 that raised more than $6 million.
During his 20+ years on campus, Dr. Brown served as catalyst for major campus advancements, including the move to university status, much building construction, development of international studies and servant leadership programs, expansion of outreach efforts, enhancement of several existing programs and the development of CSU's RiverPark campus. By nurturing the university's relationship with the community, Dr. Brown guided CSU through a capital campaign that raised more than $100 million, an amount unheard of for a university of Columbus State's size and age.
A former business dean at Kennessaw State University, Dr, Mescon guided the university through historic budget cuts while also pushing for higher academic standards. He ushered in several new graduate programs, including the university's first doctorate degree, and was president when Columbus State was named - for the first time - by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top 50 comprehensive public universities in the South. He strengthened the university's relationship with Fort Benning, expanded CSU's online degree offerings, added NCAA and club sports, and helped develop an Honors College on campus.

Well, I knit the damn mittens. And I was right to fear them.
Pattern: mostly pulled out of my ass, but used Plaid Mittens as a guide and stole the finger opening of Peekaboo
Size: to fit freakishly skinny long hands
Yarn: SWTC Gianna, 2 balls (the small 41.5m balls)
Needles: US 10.5
Yeah, they look innocent, don't they? Cute, warm, cozy. But there's a problem. There's a big problem. Maybe more of a big-and-small problem. Can you see it?
How about now?
They were knit with the same yarn, with the same needles, with the same exact non-pattern (I counted stitches obsessively to be sure), something like one or two days apart with no other projects in between and thus no opportunity for my gauge to go wonky. And one is clearly larger than the other. Freak! Freeeeaaak! Keep your children away from the freakmittens!
Step right up, and see the yarn that spawned the freakmittens! Keep well back from its cage; it doesn't like strangers!
On your left, ladies and gentlemen, is the yarn left over from the ball of yarn used for the first mitten. On your right, ladies and gentlemen, is the yarn left over from the purportedly identical ball of yarn used for the second mitten. Directly in front of you, ladies and gentlemen, is an angry knitter saying "What the fucking fuck?"
You see, ladies and gentlemen- yeah, okay, I'll stop that now. You see, the two balls of yarn were not only the same yarn, but were from the same dyelot. The two balls of yarn were not only from the same dyelot, but from the same bag. But when I was knitting the first mitten, I was thinking, hey, this is a weirdly dense fabric on 10.5s and the ball band recommends 10s, what the hell are they smoking? And while knitting the second mitten, I thought, hmm, I don't know what I was complaining about, this yarn knits up perfectly fine on 10.5s. I thought maybe I was just getting used to the yarn. But when the second mitten looked to be knitting up munchkin-sized, I started to see the horrible truth.
Could it be that one ball of yarn was actually thicker than the other ball of yarn?
I'm not crazy, right? The one on the right looks a bit thinner?
The first mitten's fabric feels thicker, kind of quilted, while the second feels like normal knitted fabric. The difference is really noticeable. I pulled out a third ball of yarn from the bag and it seems to match the second ball, the thinner one. Maybe the fourth ball will be thicker again. Maybe the fifth ball will be Fun Fur! Okay, now I'm getting angry.
So I think, maybe they're not that different in the pic, and maybe I'm imagining things, and I pick up the remnants of the second ball and it falls apart in my hands. Into two mini-balls that were apparently wound into one. And one is thick and one is thin.
From the left, Ball One (thick), Chunk of Ball Two (thin), Other Chunk of Ball Two (thick). I'm not imagining things, those are clearly different. The thick bit of Ball Two (which I guess I never reached in the course of knitting the mitten) kind of matches Ball One. The thin bit… doesn't.
Because for once (ha), this is not my fault. I didn't screw up the knitting. The mittens look exactly like they're supposed to, except that they're made in two different yarns that claim to be the same yarn! What what what crapmonkey crappy crap is this? And you know, I actually liked the yarn. It's pretty and soft and cozy, but now I will never be able to trust it.
You deceived me, yarn! How could you to this to me?! WAAAAAH!
I don't know what to do with the freakmittens. Both of them fit okay and don't feel all that different when worn, but the little obsessive voice in my head is going the mittens must be identical or I will kill you in your sleep. (I'm already angry at that voice for pointing out my Giant Left Boob. Now my Tiny Right Boob has quite the inferiority complex, thanks to that voice.) I could frog Mitten One and re-knit it with Ball Three, but I have no guarantee that Ball Three will match Ball Two, and even if it does it could turn into Ball One thickness halfway through and GAH I knew I should have been suspicious when Elann was selling a whole bag of this freakyarn for like 20 bucks.
Fear the mittens.
This Post Is Brought To You By The Words "Mittens" And "Suck"
Haven't been blogging. Blah blah family member recovering from surgery needs lots of care no time to knit or blog etc. blah blee. (Yeah, this is not a personal blog, so I won't go into detail.) So yeah. And now I'm behind on emails and comment replies yet again and will probably just let a few get ignored. And the promised raglan tutorial has gotten pushed aside, but it's coming, I swear. I'm just tired and stressed and also I am hating hospitals right about now.
But I've finally picked up my knitting again and I will make it all up to you with…
What am I doing with horrible yellow acrylic? Evil things, no doubt? Getting ready to pair it with fun fur and create a poncho? I think the Legendary Fun Fur Poncho is at the top of my mental list of horrifying things to knit. But no, that's not what I'm doing with horrible yellow acrylic.
I'm just playing with stitch patterns, that's all. Perfectly innocent.
What I should be knitting is mittens, but I'm not. Instead, I'm getting ready to knit up my skein of Lady Godiva into a scarf. After my horrible yellow acrylic experiments (which look like ass, but are still enough to get the information I needed), I've already charted and written up most of a scarf pattern, which will be posted if it turns out well. I seem to be having good FO luck lately, so the yarn gods are on my side.
What's that, yarn gods? No, I will not sacrifice my Lady Godiva to you. It's mine. Go away.
Great, now they're going to be angry and wrathful. That's all I need.
What I really do need is mittens, but I'm procrastinating. I even found a nice simple pattern, but… I'm procrastinating. Because I'll have to alter any nice simple pattern for my freakish long skinny hands. My cold hands that need mittens. Sigh. At 3 sts/inch I could probably finish them in a single day. How badly do I suck?
(Don't answer that.)
What I really don't need is a vest, but I'm working on the Back to School vest anyway.
Er, make that almost finishing the Back to School vest. That thing is a quick knit. All I have left is the neck and armhole edgings, and the happy fun time that is weaving in ends. I'd go ahead and get those done, except that I loathe picking up stitches along curved edges. The question is, is picking up those stitches preferable to making mittens? Tough call, very tough call. So much hatred, so little time…
The vest sort of fits. It also sort of doesn't fit. It is right in that murky zone of "it fits but we'll see what happens after a wash and a block and the added edgings 'cause it also might be too big HAHAHA SUCK ON THAT". I don't think the vest can talk, but "hahaha suck on that" is exactly what it would say if it could. I'm not sure what it wants me to suck, but I assume it would be speaking metaphorically anyway.
You know what would be even quicker than a vest? Mittens! I suck I suck I suck.

Douglas DC-3 Propeller Blade Sculpture
This genuine propeller blade is an iconic piece of SkyArt's inventory.
It comes from a Turkish Air Force (TuAF) Douglas C-47, the military version of the DC-3.
Douglas DC-3 is probably the most famous plane of the aviation history and the Propellor Sculpture is the oldest part we have in stock.
It dates back at early 1940s, about 75 years before today.
The blade has been polished to a mirror finish and fitted on a wooden base. This wooden base is made of wooden railway sleepers, almost as old as the blade.
This is a true collectioner's item to not to miss.
Hurry, only two blades in stock. The second blade is in a raw condition and any designcan be created with it upon request.
A total of 110 C-47A/Bs and DC-3s served the Turkish Armed Forces and the Turkish Air Force. But it was the Turkish State Airlines who was the first to buy 30 C-47s from the RAFME stocks in Cairo in 1945 in order to renew the fleet and to expand the existing routes. This was followed by the procurement of 18 C-47As with the sources allocated from the national budget in 1946. They joined The Turkish Armed Forces in 1948. It was soon followed by 81 C-47A/Bs supplied from the USAF stocks in Germany within the American Military Aid Programme, The shipment started in August 13, 1948 and it was completed in April 24, 1949.
C-47s served in the TuAF for a long period of time and they often worked side by side with C-130s and with C-160s. They flew the "Western Courier" and the "Eastern Courier" routines starting from the Etimesgut Military Airport. They were started to be replaced by the CASA CN-235s in Dec. 1993. Three EC-47s which were converted into ECM planes remained in service until 1995. The last C-47 was replaced in 1998.

Fed by new optimism about the economy, Wall Street bulls are likely to continue their record run in the week ahead.
Four years after hitting bottom in the financial crisis, the Dow soared to a new high in a bank-led rally in the past week, and traders now expect bulls to charge ahead toward the S&P 500's all-time closing high of 1565 in the not too distant future.
Retail sales and inflation data stand out in a relatively light data calendar in the coming week. Traders are also watching $66 billion in Treasury auctions after a dramatic jump in rates took the 10-year yield to 2.06 percent by Friday, an 11-month high. The Treasury auctions 3-year notes Tuesday, and longer-dated 10- and 30-year bonds Wednesday and Thursday.There are few corporate earnings reports, with Costco among them.
"We go from a catalyst-rich week to a catalyst-light and that happens often, but what doesn't happen often is new highs, so it's hard to say what the next catalyst is," said Art Hogan of Lazard Capital Markets. "If you look at sentiment coming out of the week, you have much more of a shift, whether it's kicking or screaming or capitulation. The 'wait for a pullback buyer' has turned into 'the train is leaving the station buyer.'"

Hidden Agenda Tab - Pitchshifter
Band: Pitchshifter Song Title: Hidden Agenda Album:Deviant Guitarists:Jim Davies (lead) and Matt Grundy (rhythm) Tabbed By:Ian Gray (firstname.lastname@example.com, www.eviltcat.co.uk) Today, we learn how to become Jim Davies of Pitchshifter :) Tuning ====== Low -> High D G D G B E Note: This is the tuning that Jim uses on all the songs on Deviant Notes on Performance ==================== Jim uses many effects on this track so achieving his sound is very difficult. He uses all Ibanez guitars, RG550s and RG570s, but live he mainly an SCR Series Ibanez which is unmodified and exactly as it was in the factory. His live effects rig is: Digitech Whammy Pedal (ala Tom Morello) - Used all over the Deviant album, specifically the intro to 'Wafer Thin' and the middle of 'Dead Bettery' Wah-wah - Used all the time Envelope Filter - Essential for the excessive 'squelchy' sounds that Jim is known for but can be approximated with...creative...wah wah use :) (In case, like me, you had no idea what an envelope filer is it's like an auto-wah but with a much wider and more extreme range of sounds.) Flanger Six patches on a Rocktron Chameleon pre-amp controlled my a midi board Intro/Verse =========== E|------- B|------- G|------- D|-6~~~~~ G|------- D|------- (Rock wah wah back and forward to its extremes in a regular rhythm throughout the whole verse) Meanwhile this is played: E|------------------- B|------------------- G|------------------- D|---7--6------4--6-- G|------------------- D|------------------- (Wah closed) Pre-Chorus ========== E|------------------------------- B|------------------------------- G|------------------------------- D|------------------------------- G|-6-8---66-8--------6-88--66-8-- D|-4-6---44-6--------4-66--44-6-- .. .. .. (Heavy distortion, the dotted chords are palm muted.) After the chords above have been played twice, Jim plays this over the top of the rhythm guitar: E|------------------------------------------------------- B|------------------------------------------------------- G|------------------------------------------------------- D|------------------------------------------------------- G|-----------------------------------------------6-5-4~~~ D|-4-6--44-6-4-6-4-4-6-4-6---4-6--44-6-4-6-4-4-6--------- (Envelope filter on. Rock wah back and forward madly for that squelchy tone. Don't follow what I have tabbed too closely, listen to the track for the definitive way to play it.) Chorus ====== Rhythm: E|--------------------------- B|--------------------------- G|-4-6--xx--10-9----xxxxxxx-- D|-4-6--xx--10-9----xxxxxxx-- G|-6-8--xx--12-11---xxxxxxx-- D|-4-6--xx--10-9----xxxxxxx-- (Heavy distortion) Lead: E|----------------------------- B|-------------------------- G|----------10-9------------ (Note: I've tabbed harmonics as they work on my setup but D|----------10-9------------ really, if you listen to the track you hear that Jim sets G|----------12-11-------------- his guitar into feedback at this point so do that however D|----------10-9--------------- you normally would.) (With wah and envelope filter) Second verse and pre-chorus =========================== Same as before Outro (the really really cool bit) :) ===================================== Rhythm plays these chords throughout the whole outro. P.S. I bet your lead player can't resist joining in at this point... ;) E|--------------------------------------------------------- B|--------------------------------------------------------- G|-----------------------------4--4-4--4-4--6-6-6-6-------- D|-6--4-6--4-6--4-6--4-6--4----4--4-4--4-4--6-6-6-6--7--7-- G|-8--6-8--6-8--6-8--6-8--6----4--4-4--4-4--6-6-6-6--9--9-- D|-6--4-6--4-6--4-6--4-6--4--------------------------7--7-- (Distortion) Lead Line Right, very Jim Davies sounding bit this so use your envelope filter or work that wah wah loads in time with the music. I tend to rock up on the higher notes to make then jump out and then rock it back on the crunchy lower notes but as always, listen to the track. E|--------------------------------------------------------- B|--------------------------------------------------------- G|-8--6-8--6-8--6-8--6-8--6\--6--4-6--4-6--9-9-9-9--8--6-- D|--------------------------------------------------------- G|--------------------------------------------------------- D|--------------------------------------------------------- E|--------------------------------------------------------- B|--------------------------------------------------------- G|-8--6-8--6-8--6-8--6-8--6\--6--4-6--4-6--9-9-9-9--8--9-- D|--------------------------------------------------------- G|--------------------------------------------------------- D|--------------------------------------------------------- Repeat that quite a few times, remember that at the start of the outro it IS there but very quiet, then ramp the volume after the vocal cue. After a while it changes to: E|---------------------------------------------------- B|-8--8-8-8-9~--8--8-8-8-9~--8--8-8-8-9--11--9--8--9-- G|---------------------------------------------------- D|---------------------------------------------------- G|---------------------------------------------------- D|---------------------------------------------------- Again work that wah on the last 5 notes so that each note pops out of the mix of the band That repeats twice and then Jim adds another effect and plays the same riff twice again. I believe that he turns on the whammy pedal and by using mine I can get a similar sound by rocking it between the Octave Up and Octave Down settings whilst playing. Experiment yourself with whatever sounds good. And thats it :) I'm pretty sure about all of this because it is figured out from Jim's video

Track# 2 : Mercy
From album: Sweet Sacred Solos
Words and music by Susan Mack
Verse 1
They must have heard for their eyes could not see
That the Master had healed throughout all Galilee.
Their cry was more urgent as they pressed to draw near,
These two nameless blind men, reaching out for his care.
Mercy, oh mercy!
Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
Cleanse all my sorrow and sickness and sin.
Oh God, release me from this condemnation.
Verse 2
Somehow they managed to follow him inside,
Came right up to him, but he did no chide.
Then Jesus asked them just one question of trust,
Do you believe that I can really do this?
Mercy, oh mercy!
Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
God's grace of mercy shines to one and to all
No condemnation here, no sinner, no fall.
Verse 3
They answered simply, without hesitation,
Yes, Lord, they both said with expectation.
He touched their eyes as a sign that it was true.
According to you faith be it unto you.
Oh, mercy, oh, mercy!
Their eyes were opened. What a joy that they could see.
Could see the Master smiling tenderly at them.
Could know God's love to his children never ends.
Mercy, oh, mercy!
It flows around us like a river to the sea.
As we are merciful God's mercy we see.
I brings our hearts to know eternal harmony.

HESTA is the industry fund for the health and community services sector. We've got over 800,000 members, and over $33 billion of assets under management. We are coming up to 30 years old next year.
HESTA was a part of the universal superannuation movement, which came about as a result of a wage accord. And it has come about through many people who have come before us, and who are still in the industry, fighting and struggling for the concept that dignity in retirement should be a universal.
There are many, but I'd like to talk about priorities that are in my remit, and I'd like to focus on the policy discussion. We will be focusing on budgetary challenges in the Federal Budget. We're not really sure what the package of reforms will look like going forward, but the Productivity Commission has kicked off a review into the effectiveness and efficiency of superannuation. With HESTA being one of the largest industry funds, we're keen to participate – along with our peak bodies – in that kind of a review, and to positively influence the growth of the industry.
Although we're nearly 30 years old, and the system is approaching maturity, a key focus for HESTA is whether or not the superannuation industry is delivering on its promise, especially to women. Around 85 per cent of our members are women, so our continued focus will be on understanding whether policy settings are right in order to deliver better outcomes for women in retirement.
Women are retiring with around half the super savings of men. This is due to a number of factors, such as time out of the workforce and the pay equity gap. Then there's of course the fact that women live longer than men, so there's an adequacy issue in retirement as well. That is a huge focus of ours. The whole country seems to be warmed up to the idea of talking about superannuation at the moment, so we need to make sure they're talking about it, from a gender angle as well and from a low income perspective.
To go into the super sector is an incredible career in finance to have in Melbourne, because there's such a strong industry here. I didn't know that much about it before I was exposed to it by working at Link Market Services. Superannuation has this great marriage between a real financial element and social impact.
I received a Churchill Fellowship last year and my research formed part of a HESTA submission into the recent Senate enquiry into the financial security for women in retirement. The enquiry handed down documentation which had a number of the submission's research suggestions peppered throughout it. So we've got to now focus on getting that into the reform agenda as well.
The Senate enquiry had good bipartisan support. Everyone is accepting of the basic gender problem now, which is a key step forward. We've got a system that's predicated on time in the workforce, and then we have a gender that naturally takes time out of the workforce. So I think now there is good bipartisan support toward the idea that the retirement equity gap is a structural issue; it is not a women's problem, it is a national problem. That's step one, and now it's finding avenues in the new parliament to support that structural change. There are more conversations to be had. As the Productivity Commission is reviewing productiveness and efficiency, that effectiveness criteria should have a gender lens on it.
In the last 12 months the most interesting change we have had has been a renewed focus on fairness outcomes. It's a very welcome discourse for the country to enter into, and for HESTA the gender outcome is a very important consideration. It's been really interesting to watch that level conversation entered into in the broader Australian landscape and not just in the superannuation industry anymore.
We will see some reform in the next 12 months because the government went into the election with a package of changes, and so they will need to be negotiated. Superannuation is still perceived as a social movement. That's why we need to keep working on it, and I don't ever see that ending, but I think the lens through which we look at it might shift a little bit toward fairness.
From my personal experience, the discussions on policy initiatives are very helpful. We feel HESTA has an advocacy obligation to understand the key components of policy making. To participate in budget discussions at a whole-of-country level has been very helpful. It's also very useful because, as we focus on our members in the health and community services sector and we work in solving problems for health and community services employers, we extend our network by bringing employers along to events that are specific to their industry. From a company level we participate because it gives us exposure to the financial conversations and budget discussions that impact our business.
Since its founding by Sir Douglas Copland fifty years ago, the Committee for Economic Development of Australia has played an influential role in shaping our country's public policy and best practice in evolving economic, social, cultural and international contexts.... CEDA is an important partner in Australia's democracy.

Episode Sixty-Five: Angels of the Underground – Dr. Theresa Kaminski
(July 2016)
Dr. Theresa Kaminski, author of the book Angels of the Underground: The American Women Who Resisted the Japanese in the Philippines in World War II, spoke at the MacArthur Memorial's 2016 WWII Symposium. During her presentation, Dr. Kaminski explored the lives of four different women who survived the fall of Manila and the several years of Japanese occupation that followed. Relatively unknown today, these women served in a little known resistance movement that smuggled supplies and information to the guerrillas and POWs in the Philippines. (39:12)

Does Kenya really need nuclear power?
In order to realize the development agenda stipulated in Kenya Vision 2030, studies have shown that the country will require more than 17,000 MW of electricity by 2030. Currently the country is generating more than 2300MW from various energy sources including hydro, geothermal, thermal and wind. Under the 5000MW plus initiative, coal and gas will be tapped alongside geothermal and wind. This will raise the country's generation capacity to almost 7000MW by 2017. Be that as it may, the country would still have a deficit even if all the domestic energy resources such as geothermal were fully exploited. Thus the country would need alternative sources to help realize Vision 2030. Based on these premises, nuclear energy has been identified as a stable, efficient and reliable source of electricity that will produce base load power to steer industrial development, stimulate economic growth, create jobs and above all, better the lives and lot of Kenyans.
Having discovered oil in Turkana, does Kenya still need nuclear power?
Studies have demonstrated that it is cheaper to generate electricity from nuclear energy than from crude oil. The crude oil discovered in Turkana will be more economical for export and foreign exchange earnings than for generating electricity locally.
Why are developed countries such as Germany phasing out nuclear reactors yet Kenya are is considering introducing nuclear power?
Following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in March 2011, Germany decided to accelerate its phasing out of nuclear power by 2022. Subsequently, reactors that started operation in 1980 or earlier were shut down. However, the decision was not based on any safety assessment. If Germany were to proceed with its nuclear phase-out policy and maintain carbon emission reduction, it would need to import about 20,000 MW of electricity as base load by 2020. Following this nuclear policy, France, Poland and Russia are anticipating increased electricity exports to Germany, mostly from nuclear energy.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident was an eye opener to nuclear industry players with regard to occurrence of nuclear accidents. Although it was a unique situation, the accident has led to further scrutiny of nuclear facilities thereby decreasing the chances of nuclear accidents occurring around the world. Current reactor designs have enhanced safety features. This, coupled with stringent regulations, has greatly diminished the probability of such accidents.
Will the nuclear power programme create jobs locally?
The nuclear power programme will create jobs locally both directly and indirectly. Human resource planning shows that over 5,000 workers will be directly involved in design, siting, bidding and construction of the nuclear power plant, majority of whom will be drawn from the local labour pool. Other jobs will be created in affiliated institutions such as the regulatory body, research institutes and nuclear training centres. Indirectly, it is expected that increase in power generation capacity will trigger industrial growth therefore creating more job opportunities for local people.
How will Kenya get fuel and spare parts for its nuclear power plant?
A country can purchase low enriched uranium fuel from international suppliers. Currently, IAEA is in the process of establishing a uranium fuel bank. This is meant to increase assurance of fuel supply and give more options for countries interested in peaceful use of nuclear energy like Kenya.
Supply of spare parts is specified during the bidding process. Contractual negotiations with the successful bidder should include supply of reactor components and maintenance services by the vendor during the operating lifetime of the nuclear power plant.
How much electricity do nuclear power plants generate?
According to the classification adopted by IAEA, small modular reactors have an electric power output of less than 300 MW; medium sized reactors have an electric power output of between 300 and 700 MW; and large reactors have an electric power output of between 700 and 1,700 MW.
Will Kenya get a suitable nuclear reactor for its power plant?
Yes. Kenya will use internationally acceptable criteria for reactor technology assessment; Common User Considerations (CUC) and Utility Requirements Design (URD), which will define the country's considerations for the reactor type. A nuclear reactor supplier will be required to meet the considerations before concluding contract negotiations. This will ensure that the country gets a suitable nuclear reactor for its power plant.
What are the benefits of nuclear power?
Nuclear power is environment-friendly. It is among the lowest carbon dioxide emitters when emissions throughout the entire life cycle are considered.
Nuclear power contributes to energy supply security. Currently known and reported resources and reserves of uranium are found in a number of countries across six continents. Moreover, compared with fossil fuels, the small volume of nuclear fuel required to run a reactor makes it easier to establish strategic inventories.
Nuclear power is economically competitive. Nuclear power plants are relatively expensive to build but relatively inexpensive to operate. Moreover, the low share of uranium costs in total generating costs means that significant volatility in uranium costs results in only minor volatility in generating costs.
What is the status of nuclear power post-Fukushima?
Currently, there are 438 nuclear power reactors in operation worldwide with a total installed capacity of 374,301MW, and 71 nuclear power reactors under construction. Many countries with existing nuclear power programs (Argentina, Armenia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Czech Rep., France, India, Pakistan, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Korea, South Africa, Ukraine, UK, USA) have plans to build new power reactors (beyond those now under construction). The industry is also experiencing a boon of newcomer countries that have expressed an intention to embark on nuclear power programmes. Kenya is among those nations that also include Turkey, Belarus, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Egypt, Ghana, Tunisia, Uganda and Tanzania. The United Arab Emirates, despite its oil resources, is currently building nuclear power plants.

And the Winner of Toro's 'Ready. Set. GROW!' Grant Program is…
The Toro Company today announced that Shannon Ranch Elementary School, in Visalia, CA, won top prize in the company's 'Ready. Set. GROW!' grant program. As a result of the public vote, a $7,000 grant will be awarded to Shannon Ranch Elementary. The grant will enable the school to enhance their life sciences program including installing a water-efficient drip irrigation system at their school garden for use by students throughout the year. The garden will also serve as a model on smart irrigation practices for the surrounding community.
Upon receiving the news, Principal Samantha Tate said, "We appreciate the opportunity Toro has provided Shannon Ranch through the 'Ready. Set. GROW!' grant. We envision our school garden as being an essential component of our life sciences programs, kindergarten through the sixth grade. To have the opportunity to teach our students about the importance of agriculture in education, and how our garden can benefit our school community, is an incredible gift!" Continue reading
Grants & Drip Irrigation Seen as Solution to Nitrate Contamination
Nitrate contamination is a common issue for growers in the Salinas Valley. Since nitrates can cause serious health issues and can negatively affect marine wildlife, significant grant money is being devoted to the issue. Drip irrigation is also part of the solution since it applies the right amount of water exactly where it is needed, increasing plant health and minimizing runoff. Continue reading

This morning David Brooks, in a paroxysm of "election-related anxiety," warns us about the perils of election-related anxiety, which, he says, "is coursing through American society." Woe to the anguished who believe "the destructive character" of our national anxiety stems from only one side. No, our deep disquiet is "led by two candidates who arouse gargantuan anxieties, fear and hatred in their opponents." This — conservative intellectualism's both-sides-are-to-blame narrative — Brooks gets out of the way early, so that he can hie to convulsions of hand-wringing angst, which, tellingly enough, have to do in the rest of his column with Trump only.
Brooks is a very sad man, whose superior sensitivity to political degradations puts me to shame. I must be in large part a wretchedly indifferent bastard, for I see Trumpism as but the age-old surrealism of the far right. I worry more about the left's recent unpleasantness — its susceptibility to crackpot demagogic appeals. If both sides become enmeshed in ideological platitudes of the wholly unachievable, we really will have problems.
That said, having spiraled into election-related anxiety, Brooks seems to catch himself at the end of his column. "This campaign will soon be over," he writes, "and governing, thank God, will soon return," he fantasizes. Nonetheless, it's what comes betwixt Brooks' open and close that intrigues, such as this: "David French wrote a shocking essay for National Review describing the appalling online abuse he suffered because of his anti-Trump stance. His anonymous assailants Photoshopped pictures of his daughter's face in a gas chamber and left GIFs of grisly executions on his wife's blog."
That of course transcends the far right's surrealism; it exposes, instead, its diseased underbelly. To the best of my recollection, we here at PMC's Commentary have never been haunted by the violently Trumpist. But you should take a look sometime at my Facebook page, which I myself do only when duty calls, as it did this morning. The right-wing pathology expressed therein — most often in CAPS and multiple exclamation points!!!! — is both unsettling and comforting. What follows (in reaction to my post yesterday on Hillary Clinton's presidential legitimacy) courses not "through American society." It courses only through the devoted Trumpian mind, which dwells in a decided minority:
*We won't last anytime with hillarys open boarders how many Muslim refugees are you going to pay for. [I love it: I assume those Muslim refugees will be the "boarders"?]
*Half the country has already deemed a Clinton presidency illegitimate. We the People will never allow ourselves to be governed by a criminal felon. This woman is unqualified, because of her obvious crimes, to be our president and we intend to ensure, if elected, she is reminded daily of that fact!
*VOTER suppression WILL NOT WORK THIS TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AMERICA FIRST !!!! VOTE TRUMP EARLY MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE GETS HEARD , CAST AND COUNTED !!!! EARLY VOTING HAS BEGUN TELL A FRIEND NO LINES . ONLY PATRIOTS CAN MAKE AMERICA GREAT again !!! VOTE TRUMP NOW [this commenter appears to be a trifle confused as to what "voter suppression means]
*Thank God Trump is ahead with 63% of the vote so far. America could never survive 4 more years of this crap…. Hillary is a Nazi socialist that has already started several wars, has assassinated world leaders, and has almost every country in the world opposing her and supporting Trump. Have you missed WikiLeaks? The entire world is saying America is 1930s Germany with Obama and Hillary sharing the role of Hitler. Wake up!!! America is finished if Hillary wins.
And anyone who disagrees, says another commenter, "is another typical uninformed liberal lunatic!!"
Just what, I ask, is unique about these comments? That is, what about them is peculiar to 2016, and to the forewarned, impending calamity of Clinton's Nazi socialism? Nothing, nothing at all is the answer. The adventurous are free to revisit identical remarks left in countless online comment sections and in fringe newspapers of 2012, 2008, 2004, and on back to 1936 — when FDR was deep into destroying capitalist America by saving it. Today's Trumpeteering comments reflect only the unhinged convictions of a chronically unhinged minority. Though I grant that they are appalling, in their actual numbers they're also comforting.
I'm toying with the idea of ignoring these hoary buffoons post-election, for they are, as President Eisenhower observed in a private 1954 letter, a "negligible" and "stupid" lot. But I fear my numbers might suffer. For though deserving of neglect they are, they can be awfully entertaining. Indeed, I really should visit my own FB page more often, where I can learn, comfortingly, that left-wing VOTER suppression WILL NOT WORK THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been one of those ready-fire-aim years where I've started before I'm ready, leaped before I've looked, and flown entirely by the seat of my pants. But for all intents and purposes, that was what was required.
I've learned that nothing really goes the way I think it's going to go. The best I can do is prepare as much as possible and then take action.
Some things can only be learned along the way. I can study those who have attempted similar stretches of the imagination. But there's nothing quite like first hand experience to give me the confidence or humiliation necessary for me to be able to master whatever the next step may be.
The good news is big, bold steps are not required in the course corrections I am charting these days. Baby steps are really the only way I can navigate the tsunami of change that each new step ushers in.
I have held some BHAGs (Big Harry Audacious Goals) closely for many years without making any real progress. Part of the reason is I had no system of accountability. The other part is I told myself I'd have more time later.
Then it occurred to me that I might never have any more time in the future than I have right now to write another book, launch a couple of different websites, learn how to prepare healthy meals, straighten my teeth, or connect with those who matter to me.
If I can't manage the time I have right now, how will I manage more later? I think the universe in its infinite wisdom is always giving us opportunities cleverly disguised as challenges.
My challenge at the beginning of the year was to write 500 words a day for 30 days. If I couldn't write 500 words a day, how could I expect to write another book?
Next came B-school. I knew if I wanted to have a successful online presence, I needed to learn from someone who already does. Throughout my life, I have learned to go to the source. I've never regretted a single dollar I've spent on my education. This was no exception.
Because of B-school I realized I needed to change my website, my blogs, just about everything pertaining to my business plan. This prompted the move to WordPress and the general reconfiguring of my blogs.
I decided posts like this one are best suited for www.pennyplautz.com. If you would be so kind as to follow me by adding your email to the bottom right hand of the page, you will continue to get these posts emailed to you hot off the press. Not to mention a few extra goodies.
As for Midlife MacGyver, I've got some brand new material that I'm planning to roll out, one baby step at a time. I hope that you will stay with me during this adventure as well. If you click here and then click the follow button on that page, you'll get those posts delivered to your Inbox as well.
Right now the two pages look alike, so don't worry that you may have signed up twice. They will eventually be two very different sites, but for now, I wanted to make sure I didn't lose any information or followers in the transition. You can always opt out at any time.
I want to shift the focus more to the issues that specifically arise at midlife and make it a little more informative and provide you with questions, answers, options, but mainly inspiration so that you can truly make the most of midlife.
Which leads me to the third big shake up of 2014. This is probably the most challenging of all because it requires an enormous amount of planning, resolve, and delayed gratification on my part. I'm changing the way I eat and cutting out most of the foods I hold most dear… namely pasta, sugar, flour, and wheat.
After a visit to a functional medicine doctor and about 20 different blood tests, I'm now taking more supplements than most body builders. I've sworn off the stuff that makes me feel fat and fuzzy for the most part.
As a former fitness professional and wellness consultant, I simply couldn't accept what was happening with my body as inevitable once I reached a certain age. So, the first part of the Midlife MacGyver blog I'm going to address is Body Confidence at Midlife. I wrote a book called Body Confidence in 2007. Now I want to take that a step further.
Some other areas I'll include are Mating and Dating at Midlife, What (Not) To Wear at Midlife, Making Meaning at Midlife, RelationShifts, Money Matters, and Downloads From the Divine just to name a few. Most of these areas will not be ready right away. Patience, grasshopper.
I'll be inviting guest bloggers to join me. If this is your area of expertise, please let me know.
I want Midlife MacGyver to be a community where we all have something to contribute and learn. I hope to bring back many new ideas and resources from the Blogher conference I'll be attending in two weeks.
But for now, I simply wanted to let you in on the big plans so you know what all the moving and shaking is about. I hope you'll continue to read this blog and be an essential part of the Midlife MacGyver tribe.
What about you? What are your BHAGs? Share if you dare below.

A teenager who says "no" to drugs and "yes" to an education, that's a miracle. People want me to do everything for them. But what they don't realize is they have the power. You want to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle."

Quick Question: If media articles on maternal health in Africa began with a photo like this, would donor funding dry up?

We have short memories here. Part of it is self-preservation and desensitization, how else do you explain reading about our money being misappropriated and stolen every single day in the newspaper and feeling nothing?
We have had a long and bloody time in our short history as an independent nation and therefore it is necessary to re-forget every day that our President is a war criminal, that our cabinet is full of thieves. That way we don't have to consider our own role in creating, nurturing and enabling these leaders we choose every election cycle.
Because there are levels of war criminals and degrees of genocide and there is distance between me and you and Kampala and Gulu and Kigali and Darfur and Port au Prince and the Bronx and time does not heal all wounds but we keep going anyway.
Chimamanda Adichie, who reminds us that when it comes to Africa Many Stories Matter, has a short story collection called The Thing Around Your Neck, my favourite of which is The Headstrong Historian. It tells the story of Nwambga, a widow who protects herself from her in-laws by giving her son to be educated in the ways of white missionaries, and her granddaughter who grows up to write a reclamationist history of Nigeria. I love this story because how many African stories are blessed with the continuity of both pre and post-colonial history. How many of us know the multigenerational epic that is our own family history?
If the damage that colonialism did to our history can be compared to complete retrograde amnesia , then not only must we go back and relearn our past, we have to keep reminding ourselves of the present. We must force ourselves to see the malnourished kids on Jinja road as if seeing them for the first time. Art has a role to play in making us see and feel the same images again, differently.
Remember this image?

I hate the middle front seat. I got my wallet and cellphone stolen and was dumped in the middle of Meatpacker's because of that seat. Plus, half the time you sit there, the driver feels up your thigh every time he changes gear.
This handy diagram is here to help for those times when doing complicated algorithms (= n- x/y where n is the number of people you will have to step over to exit, x is the number of people who will have to step over you to exit and y is the number of people who are likely to exit) just won't cut it.
Of course none of this is really relevant because 90% of the time you don't have a choice…. but I have too much time on my hands.
Apparently, infamous graffiti artist Banksy spent some time in Mali this year.
This is my favorite of the pieces.
This photos was taken by Fabienne K. while she was visiting the Southern Drakensberg somewhere in the no-man's land between South Africa and Lesotho.
It is beautiful, and beautiful things should be shared.

A dear friend spent some time in Western Kenya last year and sends in these gorgeous pictures that she took during her time there;
In the town where I grew up there was a wide lovely road called Kabelenga.
On one stretch of the road, at a particular time of year (Jacaranda season), the trees around would burst into a royal canopy of purple flowers.
These elegant and ostentatious flowers are originally from South America, and are actually considered an invasive species in some countries because they can prevent the growth of native plants.
They can be found all over the world, but I will always be reminded of that one road in the town I grew up in…

The exterior of the greenhouses were unimpressive . . . grey, cheap plastic.
It was a different story when they opened the doors though; it was beautiful, colorful and alive.
We visited 4 different nurseries, two orchids, one rose and one gerber daisy. All of them are completely computer controlled. If it gets too hot, the roof opens, too cold and the heaters come on, sensors control the water and any excess that drips out get recycled. It's pretty amazing.
And look at the flowers!

Great Tips On How To Have A Smooth Home Improvement Project
Are you interested in doing work on your home. Perhaps you just want to save money, or maybe you don't want strangers in your home. Whatever your reasons are for doing them yourself, here are some tips that can make your home improvement projects simpler.
If you are thinking of purchasing a home, hire a professional inspector to check it out. This way, you'll be clear on what repairs or replacements need to be made. This professional will give an unbiased opinion to aid you in your home buying.
Avoid allowing contractors to work on your house without signing a contract. You may even be better off if the contract is looked over by an attorney before the first hammer is raised. Warranty information, finish dates, an outline of work, and complete cost should be detailed in the contract.
Use a sponge when installing drywall. Instead of sanding seams in drywall, use a sponge. A wet sponge can smooth the seams of drywall just as well as sandpaper. This also alleviates dust production caused by sanding.
Make nail holes along the rim of the paint can! Why? Typically, paint will spill out and run down the can when you put the lid on it. Use a nail to create a few holes around the channel's bottom so that this doesn't happen.
You might find it easier to construct your own window screen if you can't find a replacement in the size you need. You can buy a frame kit that you cut to fit any window. Then, all you do is attach the screen using the cording that is provided and some tools you probably have around the house. Although certain windows requite a certain screen, you can easily put in external screen that fit all windows.
Good lighting makes an incredible difference in any room. Bright rooms feel much warmer to the homeowners and visitors. Adding a secondary light fixture will help brighten up a room. By making a dark room brighter, you can improve the feel of your house.
Mounting a coat rack can be a pretty way to display and store your bracelets and necklaces. Never hang your more valuable jewelry, of course, but hanging costume jewelry is a great way to organize it while adding interest to a room. Not only will your jewelry be displayed like the art that it is, but it will also stay neat and tidy. Keep your favorite necklaces within easy reach.
These tips will help empower you to do your own repairs, replace what needs replacing, or remodel any room in the house, if you so choose. Professionals are not always necessary for making improvements to your home. By utilizing these tips, you are certain to become more skilled in tackling home renovation projects.
As you can see from this article, there is a lot to think about when you are considering Austin House Painting Pros. After taking in the above information, you should now be much more educated about the subject of Austin House Painting Pros. But, be sure to keep looking, as there is a whole world of Austin House Painting Pros information.
