Addiction is a complex and challenging issue that can affect anyone. Leaving an inheritance to a family member or loved one struggling with addiction needs extra care.
Making thoughtful decisions can have a lasting impact on their well-being and the legacy you leave behind.
Understand the dilemma
Substance abuse costs the nation more than $532 billion a year. While addiction does not define who a person is, it can impact their ability to make reasonable decisions. Entrusting a large sum of money or a piece of property to this person could lead to misuse and enable more damaging behaviors.
Try open communication
Before you decide to remove this individual from your will, communicate openly and honestly with them. Explain your hopes and fears, and ask for their perspective and aspirations. A heart-to-heart talk can provide an opportunity to address the addiction and express your desire to see them seek help.
Create a trust
Establish a trust for the inheritance. With a trust, you designate a trustee to manage the funds on behalf of the beneficiary. This offers protection against potential misuse of the inheritance, using it instead for beneficial purposes like education, medical expenses or treatment for addiction.
Another approach is to structure the inheritance in a way that encourages positive change. For instance, consider creating a stipulation where the distribution of a portion of the inheritance happens only if the individual takes steps toward recovery.
Deciding how to leave an inheritance to a family member with an addiction can be hard. Remember, the goal isn’t just about giving them money or things but also about hoping for a better future and showing them that you care.

Austin Cindric Breakdown
Making only his second NCWTS start at Iowa Speedway, Kaz and the No. 33 GMS Racing team went to work early Friday trying to dial-in the Kiklos Chevrolet Silverado during both morning practice sessions. However with qualifying occurring much later in the day, the track tightened up more than expected, hindering Kaz’s run and relinquishing him to a 16th-place starting position for the M&M’s 200.
Early on in the 200-lap event, the Boston native reported that he was struggling with an extremely loose Chevy that impeded him from getting the speed off the corners like he needed. Hanging on for the first 60-lap stage to finish 15th, Kaz came to pit road under the break for four tires, fuel and major adjustments to try tighten up the No. 33 Kiklos Chevy. However, before the field went back green, Baxter called the 18-year-old rookie back down pit road for one more adjustment, hoping to give him the security he needed in the corners.
Restarting 17th and having to work his way through lapped traffic during the ensuing laps, Kaz’s Chevy was still loose on entry, but now was fighting tight-off on the exit of the turns. The caution flag would come out on lap 109, allowing Kaz to come to pit road for four tires, fuel and another round of chassis adjustments to aid in his handling woes. With the No. 33 Kiklos Chevy handling the best it had been all night after the previous stop, Kaz began to make quick work of the competitors in front of him, trying to make up as much ground as he could. However, while racing three-wide with only a handful of laps left in the second stage, Kaz and two other trucks were involved in an accident on the backstretch. Unable to get his Chevy re-fired, Kaz was forced to end the race on lap 117, surrendering him to a 24th-place finish at Iowa.
"This is definitely not how I wanted our night to go. We had fought handling issues throughout the day, but I think Jerry (Baxter, crew chief) had finally gotten our Kiklos Chevy where it needed to be for us to make up track position. I was trying to get all I could on that restart before the end of stage two. We were three-wide in turns 1 and 2, but I didn’t realize that the No. 13 still had his nose in the middle when I came up the track while we were going down the backstretch. I just really hate it for all my GMS Racing guys. We’ll put this behind us though and move forward.”
- After the ninth race of the season, Kaz is currently 10th in the NCWTS point standings, but has one win and five bonus points towards the playoffs.

After finishing both of Friday’s practice sessions in the top-10, Justin Haley qualified the Fraternal Order of Eagles Chevrolet Silverado in the seventh position for the M&M’s 200 presented by Casey’s General Store at Iowa Speedway.
The 18-year-old reported to his team early on that he started of loose but would tighten up throughout the run. At the end of stage one, Haley pitted from the eighth position for four tires, fuel and an air pressure adjustment, and he would restart from the 10th position. He ran in the top-10 until coming to pit road under caution on lap 109, when he received tires, fuel and more adjustments to help with his handling. Haley fell out of the top-10 on the restart, after being too loose, ending the second stage in the 11th position.
Crew chief Kevin Bellicourt called for his driver to stay on track with the leaders, beginning the final stage from the 11th position. Haley once again fell back on the restart but worked his way back into 11th before the caution waved for the final time on lap 187. He came to pit road for four tires and several adjustments to tighten up the Fraternal Order of Eagles Chevrolet on the restart.
Haley drove from 10th to fourth in four laps but was collected by the No. 51 truck as he got loose under the No. 24 coming to the checkered flag. The Winimac, Ind., native was scored in the 10th position in his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start at Iowa Speedway.
“I’m really proud of the 24 team tonight. We started off a little off on our set up but we were still good enough to stay up front and have a shot at a good finish. Kevin (Bellicourt, crew chief) made a great call at the end to pit for tires, and made a few adjustments to make sure we’d be good on the restart. That last run there was the best we had been all night and we were on track for a top-five finish until we got taken out. We’ve found our rhythm and I know the guys will have another fast Chevrolet for me in Kentucky.”
- Haley earned his fourth consecutive top-10 finish, and his fifth top-10 in just seven starts this year.
- He is 14th in the driver championship point standings, just 16 points out of 12th.

Johnny Sauter and the No. 21 Allegiant team qualified in the fourth position for the M&M’s 200 presented by Casey’s General Store at Iowa Speedway, following two practice sessions earlier in the day where the driver fought a tight-handling condition.
Sauter immediately claimed the third position as the green flag waved to start the 200-lap event and reported to his team early on that his Allegiant Chevy was tight in the center and snapping loose on exit. He held that position until the end of stage one on lap 60 when crew chief Joe Shear, Jr. brought him to pit road for four tires, fuel and a chassis adjustment. He lined up fifth for the beginning of stage two and quickly regained the third position, but his advance was stalled by a caution on lap 109. Sauter returned to pit road under yellow and asked his team for the same adjustments to help with a continuous tight-handling condition.
Sauter took the lead on lap 116, just after the restart, but three laps later another lengthy caution and red flag delay caused the second stage to end under caution. He remained on track to begin the final stage from the lead and help the point position until just before the final caution period on lap 187. He regained the lead as he stayed on track while the rest of the lead lap trucks came to pit road for tires but fell back to the second position on the restart. Despite being on old tires, Sauter held on to the second position, earning his seventh top-five in nine races this season.
"I think our night was a second-place finish regardless whether it went green or not. The 29 just took me to school earlier in the night, but once he passed me I found some grip up top following the line he was running. Undoubtedly the best truck I’ve ever had here. We’ve been working hard on some stuff and if this is the direction we’re headed I feel pretty good about it. It was a decent night, we just came up a little short.”
- Sauter increased his lead in the driver championship point standings to 42 points over Christopher Bell. He has one win and 10 playoff points.
GMS Racing PR
- Bell qualified second and worked his way around KBM teammate Noah Gragson for the lead on lap 17.
- As Stage One went caution free for its entirety, The Toyota Tundra cruised to the stage victory and earned valuable playoff points.
- After pitting for four tires and fuel with a trackbar adjustment, a speedy stop by the over-the-wall crew allowed Bell to maintain the lead when Stage Two went green on lap 69.
- The No. 4 Tundra remained out front until a one-truck spin slowed the field for the second time on lap 109. Fugle kept his driver on track while the majority of the lead-lap trucks hit pit road.
- When the field went back green, Bell fell back to the fourth spot succumbing spots to trucks with fresh tires. A three-truck accident on lap 119 ended Stage Two under caution.
- When pit road opened, Bell brought his Tundra down pit road for four fresh tires and fuel. With everyone who pitted near the end of Stage Two staying out this time around, the No. 4 Toyota restarted in the 12th position when the Final Stage went green on lap 132.
- Bell had a strong restart and by the time the field came back to the start-finish line he had advance up to the eighth spot. With 20 laps remaining in the event he returned to the top five and he was scored in the fourth position when a two-truck accident slowed the field for the final time on lap 186.
- All of the leaders hit pit road with Fugle calling for just right-side tires to try and gain spots on pit road with passing at a premium under green-flag conditions. A pit gun malfunctioning slowed the stop and left Bell scored in the sixth position when the field went back green with seven laps remaining.
- The No. 4 Tundra gained two spots on the ensuing restart, but lost a spot in the closing laps when he slowed his momentum to avoid a slow truck and crossed the finish line fifth.
- Earlier in the day, Burton qualified his No. 51 Morton Buildings Toyota Tundra 15th to start Friday's race. When the green flag dropped the rookie driver held his own against veteran drivers in his first NCWTS start at Iowa. Burton slowly passed trucks on the track and battled with fellow Toyota-driver Matt Crafton for the 12th position near the end of the stage, eventually winning the battle. When the caution flag flew to end the stage, Burton was in the 12th position.
- Burton started Stage Two by making a trip to pit road for four fresh tires and a track bar adjustment, placing him 15th when the stage began. During the stage Burton raced his way back to 12th place until a caution came out on Lap 107. Battling a tight Toyota Tundra, the 16-year-old stopped on pit road for four new tires and adjustments. Burton was running 13th when the second caution flag of the night flew. The stage ended under caution and Burton was scored 10th.
- Stage Three began after the trucks were stopped on track under red-flag conditions. When the green flag came back out Burton had his best restart of the night and quickly moved to the 8th position. Burton battled for position throughout most of the stage, showing off veteran moves on the track. He made one final trip to pit road under caution on Lap 184 and restarted ninth with only seven laps to-go in the race. On the final lap of the night, Burton was running in the top five when he got caught in an incident that spun him around and resulted in an 11th-place finish.
- Gragson started from the pole and led the first 16 laps before he was passed by KBM teammate Christopher Bell. With no cautions to slow the first stage, Gragson finished second behind Bell. The KBM team brought him to pit road for four tires and a slight wedge adjustment to help the handling.
- Gragson was sixth to start stage two and moved up to fifth by lap 94. The first true caution of the race came on lap 110. The team decided to pit before the segment ended hoping to gain track position, but another caution shortly after the restart ended stage two under caution.
- The final 80-lap stage began on lap 133 with Gragson running fourth. He moved up to third on the restart and he and John Hunter Nemechek battled for position for several laps. By lap 165, Gragson took command of third place ahead of Nemechek until a late-race caution slowed the field. On lap 188, Gragson brought the Switch Tundra to pit road for a two-tire stop. He returned to the race in third for the restart with seven laps to go. As the field bunched up while fighting for track position, Gragson was shuffled back a few spots, but crossed the finish line in sixth place.
NCWTS: FOX Business Network to Air Camping World Truck Series Race at Eldora Speedway, Marcus Lemonis Responds on Twitter24 Jun 2017 Written by Brett Winningham
FOX Sports announced on Friday that the Camping World Truck Series race from Eldora Speedway will shift from FOX Sports 1 over to FOX Business Network. FOX Sports decided to move the race over to the FOX Business Network to make room for the CONCACAF Gold Cup Quarterfinal double-header match.
Both channels, according to FOX Sports, are currently served in the same number of homes.
This marks the first time that a NASCAR race will be scheduled on FOX Business Network. However, it isn’t the first time that NASCAR content has appeared there. Last year’s truck race from Iowa Speedway began on the network as the U.S. Open Championship ran over because of weather. In May 2016, FOX televised NASCAR Raceday and pre-race ceremonies from Kansas Speedway on FOX Business Network when an MLB game ran over its television window.
It marks just the fourth Camping World Truck Series event in 2017 not on FOX Sports 1. The series race from Martinsville Speedway in April aired on FOX. The upcoming races at Pocono Raceway in July and Talladega Superspeedway in October will air live on FOX.
Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World, expressed his thoughts on Twitter when he became aware of the move by FOX Sports:
Ridiculous https://t.co/LnWayebONR— Marcus Lemonis (@marcuslemonis) June 24, 2017
We both know that's not true. Dayside vs prime time totally different. I'll wait to see ratings https://t.co/eoStuzn74g— Marcus Lemonis (@marcuslemonis) June 24, 2017
Because I spend my money to ensure people can watch it https://t.co/OpsbKQUaDx— Marcus Lemonis (@marcuslemonis) June 24, 2017
Don’t have FOX Business Network on your cable or satellite package? Don’t panic. SpeedwayDigest.com reached out to FOX Sports for a clarification on Friday and were told that subscribers with FOX Sports 1 can stream the race via FOX Sports Go on their computer, tablet, or smartphone, provided that they’re logged in with an authenticated television provider.
Complete breakdown of the Eldora Speedway television schedule:
5:00-6:00 P.M. Et.: NCWTS single-truck qualifying (FS1)
7:30-9:00 P.M. Et.: NCWTS qualifying races (FS2)
9:00-9:30 P.M. Et.: NCWTS Setup (FOX Business Network)
9:30 P.M. Et.: NCWTS Race (FOX Business Network)
John Hunter Nemechek did it again this weekend at Iowa Speedway in his No. 8 Fire Alarm Services Chevrolet. Nemechek, who won last weekend at Gateway Motorsports Park, went to victory lane on Friday at Iowa Speedway. The son of former Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series veteran driver Joe Nemechek led the final six laps to walk away with his fifth career Camping World Truck Series win.
“It feels really good,” said Nemechek after scoring the win. “This is unbelievable for sure. Restarting fourth there and pushing Johnny into Turn 1, I was kind of in the catbird seat.”
Nemechek started the evening from the fifth starting spot. He went on to finish seventh in stage one and ran third at the conclusion of stage two. Following a restart on lap 193, Nemechek passed Johnny Sauter for the lead with six laps remaining. He was uncatchable from there.
Sauter, who currently leads the Camping World Truck Series standings, will leave with the runner-up position. The Camping World Truck Series veteran racer and defending champion finished 1.652 seconds behind the race winner.
Running second behind Chase Briscoe at the caution on lap 187, Sauter elected to stay out for the lead while everyone else pitted. The strategy, while a questionable one, paid off as he stayed upfront in the waning laps.
Briscoe, who has fallen short of the win over the last couple of races, will leave the 0.875-mile Iowa Speedway with a seventh-place finish. Briscoe started the evening in third.
Christopher Bell led the most laps of any driver throughout the M&M’s 200 presented by Casey’s General Stores. Bell, a driver from the state of Oklahoma, went on to finish fifth in his Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota.
Bell now has six top five and eight top 10 finishes along with two victories through nine races.
Noah Gragson started on the pole and led the first 16 circuits. Gragson finished stage one sitting second and stage two running fifth on the leaderboard. The driver for Kyle Busch Motorsports placed sixth at the end of the race.
Johnny Sauter leads the Camping World Truck Series driver standings by 42 points over Christopher Bell. Chase Briscoe, Matt Crafton and Ben Rhodes round out the top five as the series heads to Kentucky Speedway.
The Buckle Up In Your Truck 225 at Kentucky Speedway will take place at 7:30 p.m. ET. on FOX Sports 1 on July 6. The Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM Channel 90 will carry the live radio broadcast.
FOX Sports announces today that the July 19 NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES race from Eldora Speedway is moving from FS1 to FOX Business Network at 9:30 PM ET.
The move is being made to accommodate a CONCACAF Gold Cup Quarterfinal double-header match expected to feature the US Men’s National team on FS1 that evening. FOX Business Network and FS1 currently are in the same number of U.S. homes. FOX Sports GO, now accessible to more than 95 million users in the U.S. through their participating pay-TV providers, offers uninterrupted coverage from Eldora.
While a NASCAR race never before has been scheduled for FOX Business Network, last year’s NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES race from Iowa Speedway began on FOX Business Network when live coverage of the weather-impacted U.S. Open Championship ran long. In May 2016, FOX Business Network aired NASCAR RACEDAY and pre-race ceremonies for the MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES race from Kansas Speedway when an MLB game ran long. However, FS1 took over before the green flag waved to begin the race.
With the exception of the July 29 (1:00 PM ET) race from Pocono Raceway and the Oct. 14 (1:00 PM ET) race from Talladega Superspeedway, which air live on the FOX broadcast network, the remainder of the NCWTS season airs live on FS1. The entire FOX NASCAR schedule is available live on FOX Sports GO.
A complete Eldora schedule is below (all times EST and subject to change):
NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES single-truck qualifying (5:00-6:00 PM ET) (FS1)
NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES qualifying races (7:30-9:00 PM ET) (FS2)

It allows your team to focus on the work that matters, free from the distractions caused by tasks going off track or budgets spinning out of control.
What is crash point in project management?
Crashing is the technique to use when fast tracking has not saved enough time on the schedule. It is a technique in which resources are added to the project for the least cost possible. Cost and schedule tradeoffs are analyzed to determine how to obtain the greatest amount of compression for the least incremental cost.
What is the difference between managing and leading a project?
Managers plan projects; leaders motivate the team. While management outlines the objectives for a new project or process, leaders motivate the team to get there. … Leaders conduct the committee meetings, facilitate collaboration and give the team feedback on their progress.
What is CPM and PERT technique?
1. PERT is that technique of project management which is used to manage uncertain (i.e., time is not known) activities of any project. CPM is that technique of project management which is used to manage only certain (i.e., time is known) activities of any project.

The September edition of the Queensland Corruption and Integrity Update covers recent decisions of the Councillor Conduct Tribunal (CCT), the High Court’s decision in CCC v Carne, and the first progress report into the recommendations of the Forensic DNA Commission of Inquiry. We also consider the Local Government (Councillor Conduct) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023, the recent Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee (PCCC) meeting, and the new detention inspection function of the Queensland Ombudsman. Finally, with the release of 2022-2023 annual reports, we take a look at the highlights of some key organisations in the Queensland integrity space.
The CCT has released its decision relating to the conduct of Gold Coast Mayor, Tom Tate. The decision related to 11 allegations that Mayor Tate allegedly failed to abide by the City of Gold Coast’s Expenses Reimbursement and Provision of Facilities for Mayor and Councillors Policy (the Reimbursement Policy) in claiming reimbursement for expenses incurred between 2016 and 2018. Under the Reimbursement Policy, the Mayor is provided $23,000 for incidental expenses, payable in advance and only for reasonable expenses incurred or to be incurred in their role as a councillor. The allegations included a number of donations that exceeded the $500 limit for obligatory donations, and other expenses, such as an annual membership for the Titans Football Club that were deemed to be inconsistent with the objectives of the Reimbursement Policy. Mayor Tate admitted that he paid the expenses personally in the first instance for all expenses the subject of allegations, before seeking reimbursement from Council and that, at the time, he held the honest belief that he was entitled to make the application.
While a number of allegations were held to be substantiated, three of the allegations were not substantiated by the CCT. The CCT ultimately ordered:
The CCT has released its decision relating to the conduct of Mayor Andrew Ireland of Livingstone Shire Council (LSC).
There were three allegations that Mayor Ireland had engaged in conduct that breached the trust placed in him, either knowingly or recklessly. The allegations specifically related to Mayor Ireland’s investigation into potentially inappropriate conduct of Councillors and that breaches of the Councillor Complaints Investigation Policy (the Investigation Policy) had occurred.
The Investigation Policy requires:
Despite the requirements of the Investigation Policy, Mayor Ireland finalised the investigation by signing a letter of reprimand, and the LSC’s publicly available Councillor Conduct Register was updated to reflect the finding.
The CCT found that Mayor Ireland acted inconsistently with the requirements of section 150AG(1) of the Act and failed to comply with the LSC Investigation Policy in the way in which he resolved the complaint.
The Tribunal ordered that Mayor Ireland:
The High Court’s decision in the long-awaiting proceeding of Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) v Carne considered whether parliamentary privilege attached to a report prepared by the CCC, and the reporting powers of the CCC more generally.
Following a decision of the Queensland Court of Appeal, special leave was granted for the CCC to appeal on 15 December 2022.
The High Court appeal centred on two key issues:
The CCC argued that the Commission was legally empowered to make the report, and that the document could be made public under parliamentary privilege. Specifically, under section 69 of the Crimes Act, the CCC should be permitted to present reports to a state parliamentary committee that would then be passed onto the Speaker in the Legislative Assembly to be tabled and released publicly.
The High Court found that the preparation and presentation of the report was not within the scope of the Queensland Legislative Assembly and dismissed the CCC’s appeal. In making the decision, the Court noted that the preparation and presentation of the report were not encompassed within the scope of ‘proceedings’ in the Legislative Assembly. This ruling was primarily based on the fact that the report was not prepared for the PCCC for the purpose of transacting its business, but rather by the CCC itself to make the report public. Consequently, parliamentary privilege did not apply to the report, regardless of the certification under section 55 of the POQ Act. Secondly, the High Court determined that the report did not qualify as a report under the CC Act, and no provision in the Act authorised its production.
The High Court distinguished this case, where parliamentary privilege did not apply, from one where a parliamentary committee, upon receiving a document unrelated to the business of the parliamentary committee, elects to retain it for the purpose of transacting its business and where sections 8 and 9 of the POQ Act would apply.
Following the High Court’s judgment, the CCC announced that it would seek urgent legislative amendments in response to the decision. Mr Barbour, Chairperson of the CCC, indicated a preference that any reforms be retrospective to allow reports that have been withheld from the public through the course of the Carne litigation to be publicised.
As Gadens has previously covered, the Final Report in the Commission of Inquiry into Forensic DNA Testing was released on 13 December 2022, providing 123 recommendations, with a further three set out in the Interim Report. In September 2023, the Queensland Government released the First Progress Report on the Delivery of Recommendations. All 126 recommendations were accepted by the Queensland Government, with additional funding in excess of $95 million provided to support the reform work.
As at 22 August 2023, 33 of the 126 recommendations have been completed, with a further 57 having been commenced. Activities relating to the implementation of the recommendations, much of which requires broad organisational reform, include:
Progress has also been made towards recommendations aimed at historical case review, including the commencement of a legal-led case review process, and work alongside Queensland Police Service relating to activities prior to sample submission to FSQ.
The Queensland Government has committed to provide quarterly progress reports as the implementation of recommendations continues.
On 13 September 2023, the Local Government (Councillor Conduct) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023 (the Bill) was introduced into the Queensland Parliament.
The Bill follows the State Development and Regional Industries Committee (SDRIC) inquiry into the functions of the Independent Assessor and the role of the Office of the Independent Assessor (OIA) in the performance of its functions. The SDRIC identified issues concerning the operations of the CCT and on 14 October 2022, tabled Report No. 28 of the 57th Parliament ‘Inquiry into the Independent Assessor and councillor conduct complaints system’ (Councillor Conduct Report). The Government’s response to the Councillor Conduct Report dated 12 January 2023, supported (or supported in principle) all 40 recommendations made by the SDRIC.
The overarching purpose of the Bill is to implement the Queensland Government’s policy relating to the recommendations contained in the Councillor Conduct Report. It is noted, however, consultations with stakeholders identified further amendments which support the SDRIC’s recommendations. Key objectives of the Bill include:
The SDRIC invited submissions on any aspect of the Bill and is due to table its report on 27 October 2023.
The PCCC held a public meeting on 15 September 2023 to discuss the CCC’s activities for the period 1 April to 30 June 2023, as detailed in the CCC’s public report (the Report).
The Report highlighted a number of the CCC’s achievements in its key areas of focus, including:
The CCC also provided a further update on the implementation of recommendations of the report of the Fitzgerald/Wilson Inquiry, noting that as of 30 June 2023, the CCC have completed 10 recommendations and have made material progress on 15 other recommendations. The CCC stated the remaining recommendations require legislative amendments and therefore require government cooperation.
At the end of September, a series of annual reports were tabled in the Queensland Parliament, providing insights into the activities of organisations in the Queensland integrity space.
The 2022-2023 Annual Report of the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) highlighted a range of activities, including:
With respect to the Fitzgerald/Wilson Inquiry, the Annual Report indicated that significant progress has been made towards the implementation of recommendations, including the recommendation requiring the CCC to obtain DPP advice before charging. The CCC has consulted with the Department of Justice and Attorney-General (DJAG), Queensland Police Service, and Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to reach an agreed position on the implementation of the recommendation.
The CCC also continues to work towards the recommendations arising from the PCCC Five-Year Review 2021.
The 2022-2023 Annual Report states that in 2022-2023, the OIA received 897 complaints with 958 allegations about councillor conduct, representing a two per cent increase on the complaints received in the previous year. Of these complaints, 53% have been from the local government sector, 38% from the public, 2% from the CCC, and 6% from other sources. There was also a 44% decrease in councillor self-referrals. 49% of allegation received related to alleged misconduct, and 41% related to alleged inappropriate conduct, 37% of which related to alleged breaches of the mandatory Code of Conduct for Councillors in Queensland.
The OIA continues to focus on addressing the backlog of investigations, with 205 investigations completed in 2022-23. As of 30 June 2023, 34 investigations remain ongoing, with the majority of OIA investigations being resolved in less than three months.
It is reported that the backlog in determining CCT matters has continued. As of 30 June, there were 66 applications with 146 allegations of misconduct before the CCT awaiting a hearing or decision. Since the establishment of the CCT, 71 applications have been determined, 18 of which were decided in 2022-23.
In its 2022-2023 Annual Report, the Ombudsman highlighted aspects of growth for the office over the last financial year and identified particular recommendations arising from the Coaldrake Report as being directly relevant to its office, including:
The introduction of the Integrity and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023 was stated as an important step in the implementation of these recommendations.
The Ombudsman also supported the Public Interest Disclosure Act Review, both in preparing a submission, but also in providing the Review with advice on a range of operational and policy issues, and providing relevant statistical information to support the Final Report.
In 2022-23, the Office responded to 11,837 contacts, received 7,227 complaints, and finalised 1,124 investigations, making 172 recommendations for improvement. Of the 166 recommendations that were made and responded to by 30 June 2023, all were accepted by the relevant agencies.

Proposed Adams Morgan hotel cuts size, wins planning office support
Send this to a friend
The developer of the proposed Adams Morgan Hotel has agreed to cut an additional floor from the building, winning the support of both the D.C. Planning Office and an influential neighborhood group.
And just in time, too. The D.C. Zoning Commission has its first public hearing on the controversial hotel project Thursday evening. While the planning office's support doesn't guarantee approval, it certainly improves the hotel's chances.
Two weeks after it rejected the hotel as too tall at 81 feet, the Office of Planning issued a supplemental report Thursday supporting a compromise at 72 feet. The difference came, according to the planning office, as a result of negotiations between hotel developer Friedman Capital and the Reed-Cooke Neighborhood Association.
“The shorter hotel represents a meaningful reduction in height from previous proposals and is more in keeping with the character of the surrounding neighborhood,” Jennifer Steingasser, planning office deputy director, wrote in the new report.
The agreement between Friedman Capital and the RCNA includes provisions to address the potential impacts of traffic, noise, idling vehicles, trucks and hotel events, the planning office wrote.
For example, "The Applicant will require the Hotel operator to post signs at all Hotel exits reminding guests that they are in a residential neighborhood and to be respectful and minimize noise." Also, "no events are allowed that are open to the general public."
Friedman, led by developer Brian Friedman, also has offered expanded benefits for the Marie Reed Learning Center. Among them: repairing the damaged portion of a cement retailing wall, installing new fencing, repairing three benches, painting the posts for the basketball nets, and providing new adult and youth soccer goals.

Basic Pizza Dough
500g gluten free flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Natvia (Stevia)
150ml milk (warmed)
4 eggs (beaten)
120g butter (creamed)
Put flour and salt in basin. Add yeast and stevia to warmed milk with the beaten eggs; add this liquid to the flour and beat thoroughly. Work the creamed butter into the dough. Cover and leave for 40 minutes to rise.
This makes enough dough for four pizzas. I divided the dough into quarters and used one quarter for the pizza, and wrapped each of the other quarters separately in cling film and froze for later use.
1/4 quantity of basic dough.
4-6 anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons milk
500g ripe tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion
1 dessertspoon chopped basil
120g Mozzarella cheese (sliced)
Flour the dough lightly and pat it out with the flat of your hand on floured baking sheet to a round 23cm in diameter. Split the anchovy fillets in two lengthways and soak them in the milk; set aside.
Scald and skin the tomatoes, cut away the hard core, squeeze gently to remove seeds, then slice. Heat the oil in a frying pan; add chopped onion and, after a few minutes, the sliced tomatoes. Draw pan aside and add the herbs; season well. Set oven at 200 Celsius. Cover dough with tomato mixture, place cheese slices on this and arrange anchovies lattice-wise over top. Prove pizza for 15 minutes, then bake in pre-set oven for 30 minutes.
This was yum. We ate half each.The basil was homegrown. The olive oil was from the local Farmers Market. I have used stevia instead of sugar, as R has to have a filling in his tooth, and the dentist has told him his teeth are deteriorating. He has been fortunate up to now that brushing well has been enough, as people with cerebral palsy often have trouble with their teeth. He decided himself that he would stop having lollies and fizzy drinks etc to see if that would help, and said he didn’t want any desserts or cake etc with sugar in, so I have started using Stevia, which is a natural sweetener, as neither of us like the idea of saccharine or aspartame.
And here is my whoopsie moment of the day – I was walking towards the post office on my way to work this morning when I realised I hadn’t put my petticoat on and that in the light my skirt was fairly see through. I know anything goes when you are young, but I am not that young anymore, and don’t want people seeing what I don’t want them to see!!
Some days I don’t even want to see it myself. I made a quick dash home in the car and put the petticoat on!! Thankfully the day got better and I managed to fix up something at work that had been puzzling me for a few days.
The family arrived back today, and Jake has gone back home. They were all pleased to see him and he was equally pleased to see them.

RUSTON — After posting a 9-3 record behind the nation’s top offense, Louisiana Tech had 14 players named to the All-WAC teams Monday, most in program history.
Quarterback Colby Cameron was named Offensive Player of the Year after ranking second in the nation in passing at 345.6 yards per game and fourth in total offense at 360.3. Cameron completed 359-of-522 passes for 4,147 yards and 31 touchdowns with just five interceptions.
Running back Kenneth Dixon was named Freshman of the Year. He led the nation in scoring at 14 points per game. He was second in the league in rushing at 99.5 yards per game while gaining 1,194 yards on 200 carries. Dixon set NCAA and WAC freshman records for rushing touchdowns (27), touchdowns in a season (28), and points (168) in a season.
Utah State’s Gary Andersen was named Coach of the Year, and San Jose State lineman Travis Johnson was voted the conference’s top defensive player.
TICKET DEAL FOR IRISH: An anonymous alumnus donated enough money to cut the price of BCS Championship Game tickets to Notre Dame students for the game between the top-ranked Fighting Irish and No. 2 Alabama in half, dropping the price from $300 to $150.
Senior assistant athletic director Josh Berlo said the school wasn’t disclosing the amount of the donation. But at a cost of $150 and with 2,500 tickets available, the donation is believed to be about $375,000. Berlo said more than 4,000 Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s College students have applied for tickets.
Berlo said the school has received more than 100,000 requests from alumni, season-ticket holders and others for the school’s allotment of 17,000 tickets. Tickets are being distributed by lottery.
HUSKIES GET IN FREE: Northern Illinois students attending the Orange Bowl won’t have to pay admission.

ASU will play Kent State in the GoDaddy.com Bowl in Mobile, Ala., on Jan. 6. Benson had hoped for a Red Wolves matchup in the Liberty Bowl.
Benson said Middle Tennessee, which is planning to leave for Conference USA, should have gotten a berth even though it lost to Arkansas State, 45-0, on Saturday.
“There has also been a lot of talk about Middle Tennessee being left out of a bowl game because they have announced that they will be leaving the Sun Belt Conference,” Benson said. “At no point in time was that ever part of any conversation between Sun Belt officials and a representative of a bowl game.”
WALK-ON HONOR: Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin won the Burlsworth Award, given to the top player who began his career as a walk-on.

3 March 2019
Lashkargah-- A local TV journalist was seriously wounded following a bomb attack in Lashkargah, capital of Afghanistan's southern province of Helmand on Tuesday, local official said.
Nisar Ahmad Ahmadi, a local journalist in Helmand, was wounded in an embedded IED blast in Kart-e-Lagan area in Lashkargah city on Tuesday morning, the provincial governor’s media office said in a statement.
The bomb went off shortly after he arrived at the gate of a local Sabwoon TV station on Tuesday around 8 am.
The statement said Mr. Ahmadi in a stable condition and is under treatment at a hospital in Lashkargah city. AFJC representative says that Ahmadi was transferred to Kabul by a UN plane for further treatments.
Ahmadi is working as political presenter for Sabawoon TV channel in Helmand.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack on the journalist. Meanwhile, AFJC’s findings indicate that the ministry of interior had expressed fear at Taliban threats to target Mr. Ahmadi and two other journalists in Helmand province in connection with their work.
“We strongly condemn in the strongest term this worrying act of attempting the lives of a veteran Afghan journalist and extend our prayers for his speedy healthy recovery.” said AFJC Executive Director Ahmad Quraishi
We therefore call on the Afghan authorities and all the media stakeholders to spare no effort in further improving the protecting the safety journalists especially those who face threats from the Taliban and other terrorist groups. Mr. Quraishi added
Afghanistan is one of the world’s most dangerous countries for journalists. 18 journalists and media workers have been killed mostly in the Taliban and IS(Daesh) attacks in Afghanistan in the last 12 months.

FINALLY — 11 days after the formal ceremony celebrating the change — and more than four months after it became a legal entity on state roads in Miami-Dade — the name of the great anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman was unveiled on West Dixie on Wednesday.
At 3:05 p.m., after finishing the removal of the black plastic covering her name at the corner with NE 119th Street, an employee for the Florida Department of Transportation said he’d gotten the order late Tuesday to remove the black plastic. It was too late in the day to do it, so they waited until Wednesday.
They’d first removed the plastic covering Tubman at the northern end of the state road West Dixie Highway, near NE 163rd Street.
“It’s been a while,” he said, referring to the fact that the signs have been installed for months but hidden under a black shroud.
A group of politicians and civic leaders did a formal unveiling of the Harriet Tubman Highway on Saturday, Sept. 18, on South Dixie near the Vizcaya Metrorail Station. A bunch of TV and still photographers showed up. Celebratory speeches were given. The sign was unveiled.
South Dixie runs through the affluent southern suburbs. West Dixie, in North Miami and North Miami Beach, is a funkier, of-ignored stretch consisting of body shops and strip malls offering immigration, tax and cell phone services, along with Haitian churches, a gun shop, a sports bar and a Bible shop.
One irony was that FDOT had to cover the sign at Vizcaya station with white plastic in order to unveil it. Activists long before had ripped off the black plastic.
At that ceremony, I asked two FDOT staffers when the plastic would be removed from the West Dixie signs, which had remained draped in the original black plastic. After the ceremony, they said. I didn’t think to ask how long after the ceremony.
To be clear, the Dixie name remains up throughout Miami-Dade. The Tubman name has been added, as a memorial highway.
If you need the background, here’s a recap:
This saga began in the fall of 2019, when a high schooler, Isabella Banos, wrote a letter to the Miami Times urging that the Dixie name be eliminated on highways in Miami-Dade and the roads renamed after Tubman. Banos’ grandfather,
In February 2020, Commissioner Dennis Moss led a move to do just that. He condemned the Dixie connection with the Confederacy to be “toxic.” The change passed 13–0. That included support from seriously conservative Cuban-Americans.
Some miles of Dixie had their name changed immediately. These were portions controlled by the county, including a stretch of West Dixie from 163rd to the Broward County line. The county decided not to change the signs on this road until the state acted.
The state was involved because many miles of South Dixie and West Dixie are state roads. That meant the name change went to the Legislature, which commissioned a study saying the change would be extremely expensive for governments and businesses, which would need new letterheads and signage and such. Tubman supporters countered that those costs were greatly exaggerated.
State Sen. Shevrin Jones led the charge in Tallahassee. Mo Aberty, grandfather of Banos, and Tom Petersen, a retired judge, assisted with the efforts in Dade.
The end result was a small half-step: The Legislature rejected getting rid of the Dixie name but allowed the adding the name of Harriet Tubman as a memorial highway, an honorary designation of the type that exists on dozens of streets throughout Dade County.
The memorial highway needed the approval of the 10 municipalities that the state road ran through in Miami-Dade. Nine quickly approved. Coral Gables at first rejected it, with commissioner saying they feared a “cancel culture.” If they approved the Tubman name, they complained, perhaps they’d asked to remove the names of historic Gables figures, like founder George Merrick.
After an outcry, the Gables commission approved the move. That was in May. There was a delay in the Gables sending an official notice to FDOT of its move, and then there was another delay in arranging for a time for a ceremony that fit the schedule of various politicians.
Meanwhile, the Dixie stretches that are county road and are legally now Harriet Tubman Highway still have the Dixie name and no hint of Tubman. The county hasn’t bothered to change the street signs.

Snapshot 9–15 September 2015
Afghanistan: The number of severely food insecure has risen to 1.5 million people, according to a new assessment. 7.3 million people are moderately food insecure. Food security among IDPs is worsening, with around 200,000 people reported to be in need of immediate assistance.
Snapshot 25–31 March 2015
Ukraine: Fears are growing of a new offensive in Mariupol, as non-government troops appear to be gathering nearby. A recent assessment has found that more than 1.6 million people need humanitarian assistance, nearly 1.1 million of whom are in non-government-controlled areas. 20–30% of IDPs are at risk of losing their status and benefits, due to a new mechanism to verify the addresses of IDPs.
Central African Republic: In Ouaka prefecture, fighting among rival militias persists. Attacks on a number locations, including Bambari, have left dozens of people dead, and civilians have been executed. 3,000 people remain displaced from Bangui after violence began in the middle of the month.
DRC: A resurgence of ADF-NALU attacks in North Kivu are thought to have displaced 100,000 people, and killed at least 80. In South Kivu, there has been a significant increase in IDPs, mainly due to insecurity in Shabunda and Fizi territories. 7.3 million people across the country are estimated to be food insecure.
Central African Republic: 5,600 people have fled Bangui after a new wave of violence killed at least eight and injured 56. WASH and health are priority needs among the IDPs. A UN peacekeeper was ambushed and killed on the outskirts of the capital. In Kemo, IDPs have been slow to return as tensions have increased: ex-Seleka attacked Dekoa market on 11 October.
Ebola in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone: At 1 October, the total cumulative number of reported Ebola cases across the three countries had reached 7,470, including 3,431 deaths. However, the Centers for Disease Control estimates that only 40% of cases are being reported in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Social tensions and insecurity are growing. Many of the 3,700 children who have lost parents to Ebola are being rejected out of fear of infection.
In 2011 there were an estimated 112 million working equine animals in the world, with 43 million donkeys, 11 million mules, and 58 million horses.i The large majority of these animals live in developing countries and provide daily support to hundreds of millions of poor households by doing a wide range of work in both urban and rural areas.
This paper investigates the role of non-traditional aid in meeting global challenges in improving gender equality and gender-related socioeconomic needs in the twenty-first century. We define non-traditional aid as private donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations and use a newly available dataset that provides unique information about publicly announced private donations of US$1 million or more between 2000-01 from the USA to developing countries.
The World Health Organization reports that rates of violence are 4-10 times greater among persons with disabilities than non-disabled persons. Consultations with persons with disabilities conducted by the Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC) in seven countries suggest that women and girls with disabilities may be particularly vulnerable to gender-based violence in conflict and post-conflict settings. However, they do not have the same access to prevention and response programs as other community members.

Women are main guardians of crucial livestock diversity
New study argues that to succeed, breed conservation efforts must empower women
Women livestock keepers worldwide must be recognized as the major actors in efforts to arrest the decline of indigenous breeds, crucial for rural food security and animal genetics, a new FAO study argues.
Yet women's contribution to indigenous livestock breeding and conservation is poorly documented and undervalued, the study Invisible Guardians: Women manage livestock diversity says.
USAID recognizes the international day of the girl child
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the United States Agency for International Agency (USAID) recognized the first-ever International Day of the Girl Child through the announcement of several new initiatives to prevent child marriage and promote girls’ education worldwide.

Annual report: New results show UK aid is changing lives
New figures tracking the success of UK aid around the globe show how British support is transforming the lives of the world's poorest people.
The latest numbers are set out in the Department for International Development's Annual Report 2011-12, published by the British Government ministry today.
The progress report reveals the Government is on track to deliver the results it set out over a year ago, in a major review of how British aid is targeted.
The question of 'what changes do we need to empower women smallholders and achieve food security?' has been asked repeatedly. But transformational changes in both public policy and practice have been few and far between, although increasing access to resources and opportunities for women farmers could substantially reduce the number of hungry people in the world.

KABUL - An Afghan police chief
was missing after Taliban insurgents raided and torched a district-level
government office and clinic, police said on Monday.
The insurgents, who over the past year have mounted their bloodiest campaign
of violence since they were ousted from power in 2001, raided a district
headquarters in the western province of Farah on Sunday night.
Provincial police chief General Sayed Agha Saqib told the Pakistan-based
Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) news agency the district's police chief was missing
after the raid in which the Taliban also set fire to a wheat storage depot.
A spokesman for the Taliban, Qari Mohammad Yousaf, told AIP that Taliban
fighters had captured the district police chief and nine of his men but Saqib
said only the district police chief was missing.
Most Taliban attacks over the past year have been in the south and east, in
areas near the Pakistani border, but insurgents have also been launching some
raids in western, central and northern areas.

Give people with disability a go with Opportunity
Bill Shorten, today launched a new publication which outlines compelling reasons for including people with disability as customers and employees.The Australian Government provided $40,000 to the Australian Employers Network on Disability to produce Opportunity, which was also supported by the NSW Government, Westpac, McDonalds, KPMG and Sparke Helmore Lawyers.
“The time is right for business to start seeing people with disabilities as an important customer and skills base” Mr Shorten said.
“This is the first time various levels of government and major corporations have collaborated on building the business case for including people with disability.
“It is estimated that around one in five Australians have some form of impairment, but this does not mean they don’t want to, or can’t work.
“Employers who employ people with disability have found they tend to have better attendance records, remain longer and have fewer injuries at work than those without a disability.
“They are also as productive and reliable as any group of employees.
“It is time the government and the private sector embrace diversity as a means of enhancing business performance to access untapped reserves of talent and open new markets.
“Opportunity includes tips on becoming confident about meeting the needs of employees and customers with disability, as well as important statistics, case studies and a checklist of actions businesses can take to make their products and services more accessible.
“Some of these are surprisingly simple, yet effective like having a pen and paper at a counter for customers who are hearing impaired.
“Organisations which are accessible to customers and employees with disability are more accessible and more appealing to all consumers and stakeholders.
“For Australian businesses, people with disability should be seen as a significant market and source of labour, not to mention a large group with spending power which can no longer be ignored” Mr Shorten said.
This publication is being launched alongside a new website which goes ‘live’ today, Disability Confidence, which will provide useful advice and links to assist employers and the community in getting more information about the business case for employing people with disability.

Sooraj Pancholi who is in the news for his girlfriend death, has entered into film industry under the superstar Salman Khan’s production company “Salman Khan Films” titled Hero.
Daughter of the famous hero Sunil Shetty, Athiya Shetty also debuted with this movie. The chemistry between both of them are rocking as folks say…lets us see the review…
Sooraj (Sooraj Pancholi) is a gangster and the baddie Pasha (Aditya Pancholi) asks Sooraj to kidnap Radha (Athiya Shetty) because of the differences between Pasha and Inspector General Mathur (Tigmanshu Dhulia). Where Radha is the daughter of IG Mathur.
In the course of this kidanap, Radha and Sooraj falls in love with each other.
What happens between them when Athiya was kidnapped, whether their parents will say yes for their love, what are the disturbances between pasha and Mathur are the main points in the movie.
Being both of them are the debutants, the chemistry between them went well through out the movie.
The way Athiya acts, seems like she followed sonam kapoor. Both of them acted very well and exposed their super talent.
Minus Points :
In Bollywood, every actors place will get sticked only if they have good body. The same thing was followed by Sooraj Pancholi we may thing.
He too much exposed his muscular body, expression wise Sooraj Pancholi is very dim, Songs are also not upto the mark.
The first half will entertain you very easily, but the second half had lagged alot. This was the main drawback of the film.
Finally....AS both of them are debutants, to watch their talent we should walk to the theatre. One who enjoys manly movies can have fun.

Because there are so many foreign-born residents in Nebraska and the rest of the United States, it is sometimes difficult for everyone to understand all of our laws. Thankfully, some people who have been convicted of drug crimes, federal crimes, and even violent crimes can have their convictions reversed if there is sufficient evidence to prove their innocence.
Two years ago, a Lincoln woman from Vietnam was found guilty of possessing contraband cigarettes, which she would give to her sister to sell. Because the woman’s sister did not pay state or federal taxes on her sales, the woman was also found guilty of tax evasion. The details of her sentence are unknown. Other than the convictions related to the possession of contraband cigarettes, the woman had no previous criminal history in the United States.
Thankfully, the conviction was recently overturned by a federal appeals court because the woman’s attorneys argued that there was no way for the woman to know that it was illegal to possess the cigarettes, and there was no proof that she was aware that her sister wasn’t paying taxes. It is unknown whether the federal appeals court also considered overturning convictions for the four other people who were involved in the contraband cigarette scheme.
The penalties for smuggling illegal drugs and other substances into the United States are quite severe, but fortunately, the legal system presumes that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, and even people who have been convicted of a crime can have their cases re-evaluated. Anyone who has been unfairly convicted of a crime may want to talk to a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.

KARACHI: Former speedster Shoaib Akhtar said Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) composed the worst ever Pakistan Super League (PSL)’s official anthem this year.
Sung by Naseebo Lal, Aima Baig, and Young Stunner, PSL 6 anthem got a mixed reaction on social media but Akhtar wasn’t happy at all.
The cricketer-turned-analyst took to his YouTube channel to share how this year’s PSL anthem scared his kids. “I am going to file a case against PCB through my videos because this PSL anthem has made my kids scared. They are not talking to me for the last three days” he said.
“Who has made this song? What does groove mean, did they even know its meaning? I think the singers also don’t know the meaning of Groove,” he bashed. “Such a poor composition of this song. It was the worst-ever anthem of the PSL I must say,” he maintained.
Akhtar said PCB is only responsible for this poor anthem and their marketing team or whoever pitched this idea should be held accountable for this. “I always talked about PCB’s incompetency and here is an example. There is no fault of these singers, PCB is responsible for this damage,” he pointed out.
“I mean why don’t PCB call some renowned singers and composers from our industry and ask them to make the best possible song with the best voices, composition, and representation of all our cultures. As simple as that,” he suggested.
In the end, the cricketer offered PCB to sing PSL’s anthem next time. “PCB, next time if you don’t find anyone better than this, then ask me to sing PSL anthem,” he concluded.
