I spoke with paraplegics and quadriplegics who worked in the same job or field for over 20 years to see how they did it — and to look for any unifying traits and similar approaches. Some of what I found was expected: most were confident, had degrees in their fields of employment and fearlessly jumped into their work. Less expected, most said they had little difficulty finding jobs and keeping them. Given that employment levels hover between 30 percent for quads and 40 percent for paras, this was surprising. I wondered if this was attributable to youthful naiveté or good luck, but then I saw the key was their passion. Not just a passion for working — that always helps — but a passion for their specific field, be it teaching, engineering or anything else.
The Police Man
When a car hit David Estrada on his motorcycle in 1995, it left him a T3 para and ended his law enforcement career before he could graduate from the academy. But while he was in rehab, the chief of the Boston Police Department visited and assured him he would have a job when he was ready. A year later Estrada became a 911 operator for the department. From there he moved on to the Office of the Police Commissioner and became the department’s media liaison. Today, in addition to being a BPD spokesman, he manages its website, Facebook page and Twitter account.
As if that isn’t enough, in his capacity as recruiter and coordinator for Athletes with Disabilities for the Boston Athletic Association, he recruited and coordinated international wheelchair racers for the Boston Marathon and other races. When the bomb went off in the 2013 marathon, Estrada was about 300 yards from the finish line. He quickly sprang into action, gathering information on the bombings for the BPD and checking on all the international wheelchair racers.
While working full-time for BPD, Estrada also earned a law degree and began serving as a peer mentor at Spaulding Rehab Network. His involvement with peer mentoring helped lead him to becoming the executive director of the Boston chapter of the NSCIA (now United Spinal).
“I like being busy,” he says. “I feel very fortunate to have the function that I do as a para, as well as a job I enjoy that gives my life meaning and purpose.” He makes a point of balancing his personal and professional obligations. “I don’t use a lot of vacation days in big chunks, but I do take some occasional time off to spend with my wife and daughter, and I’m home every weekend.”
Somehow, he makes it all work. When he stepped down from his post at NSCIA in 2013, he accepted the position of program manager for Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital’s Model Systems grant, in addition to working with Spaulding’s exercise rowing program. (see NEW MOBILITY, Sept. 2013).
Estrada has now worked the equivalent of two full-time jobs for 12 years. Did I mention he also has a real estate license and helps people find accessible housing?
“I realize not everyone is able to work, but I think if you can work, you should,” Estrada says. “It’s an opportunity to do something meaningful.”
The Policy Wonk
For the past 20 years Jo Donlin has worked in public policy communications for the state of Colorado. “I like what I do, as it allows me to use my intellect and critical thinking skills as well as a good deal of collaboration with others. I also get to teach a lot of people. It’s a good living,” says Donlin, a C5-6 quad since a 1990 diving accident.
It also makes for long and expensive days, as Donlin, 49, requires help with all transfers and foots the bill for her attendant care. Up at 5:15 to be at work by 9 a.m., she’s in bed by 8:30 or 9 p.m., with the lights off by 10.
Over the years Donlin has worked with the media, lobbied, analyzed policy, conducted research and translated a great deal of legalese into everyday English. Her first policy work was as a college intern with the Wyoming legislature in 1989. “Right now, I’m doing a lot of stakeholder engagement and outreach, writing and website work,” she says. “In the process, I teach a great many people.”
She enjoys working with colleagues and building partnerships, and finds that in the process she challenges perceptions of what wheelchair users are capable of. “People aren’t used to seeing quads out doing what I do, so I’m dealing with a lot of assumptions,” she says. “Work enhances my life and provides a paycheck for attendant care, medical bills, insurance and mortgage.”
Is it hard?
“I’ve paid a price,” she admits. “About five years ago I went from full-time to three-quarter time, though in my context it’s full-time. I’m absolutely exhausted.”
Joe Jeremias is easy to like. He’s genuinely humble, straightforward and thrives on self-deprecating humor, the darker the better.
He joined the SCI club 30 years ago at 16, when a bike-car collision resulted in a C6-7 injury. Now 46, Jeremias has been a high school English teacher for the past 22 years. He lives in West Hempstead, New York, on Long Island, with his wife Chris, also a teacher, and his 12-year-old son, Daniel.
About five years ago he began teaching English to juniors and seniors at Nike Alternative, a high school for at-risk students. “I’m working with kids who really need help, they’re probably the bottom 5-10 percent,” he says. “They need extra attention, and I have an opportunity to show them they can succeed. This is the most difficult teaching I’ve done, and also the most rewarding.”
His passion is obvious as he explains what he loves about his job. “I have more freedom to do what I want and be creative, and I can teach the kids where they’re at. I feel like I’m treated as a professional,” he says. “I really enjoy it.”
The job is more than just teaching English, he explained. “Sometimes it feels like triage. Some kids are homeless, others are living in dysfunctional families. They might show up after being kicked out of the house. I listen and go from there.”
Does the wheelchair get in the way?
“Yeah, same as any other job, but I’m also able to incorporate the chair into the teaching, either with humor — ‘Don’t make me get out of this chair’ — or as a way to connect, with empathy and understanding, ‘Look, I’ve gone through stuff, too. Maybe not your stuff, but stuff.’”
Like Estrada, Jeremias strives to find the right balance between personal and professional, although his SCI makes it more difficult. “I’d like to be more physically active, but it’s hard to find the time for self-care,” he says.
But the pleasure derived from working outweighs any struggles. “Working is a good thing,” he says. “I’m proud to be working every day … I like being a wheelchair ambassador to the world.”
The Defense Contractor
“We’re built to work,” says Kevin Wolitzky, about Raytheon Corporation, the U.S. government defense contractor that’s employed him for over 21 years. As a systems engineer, his work is classified, so he can’t divulge any details of exactly what he does, other than his work provides help to troops worldwide.
Wolitzky was an exceptional high school athlete and attended college on an athletic scholarship. About halfway through the fall term, during a baseball team initiation, a head-first slide into a 6-inch-deep mud pit made him a C5 quad. “I took too steep an angle and snapped my neck,” he recalled. “I immediately lost sensation and knew what happened.”
He quickly returned to school following rehab and became employed less than a month after he started looking. “I began to realize working was possible once I was able to use a computer,” he says. The job also offered some great fringe benefits: Not long after starting, a coworker and fellow wheeler introduced him to Leda, another employee, who eventually became his wife, and now they have three daughters.
Working 40 hours a week is a challenge for Wolitzky. Days begin at either 6 or 7 a.m., when his attendant arrives, allowing him to be on the job between 8 and 9. But it’s worth it. “I’m confident that I’m contributing. I provide a service to my employer and the government, just like any other employee. I’ve developed meaningful relationships and friendships with my coworkers,” he says. “Work provides me with mental stimulation and a chance to use my brain.”
When she realized what life could be like as a wheelchair user, Carol Hickey smuggled a lightweight chair into her native Ireland via a food truck in order to avoid a 34 percent tax. With that act, the then-19-year-old started herself down a path that led to her current job as a territory manager for the complex rehab technology provider Numotion, responsible for Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama.
“I’m a firm believer that everyone has a right to a good chair,” says Hickey, whose job entails educating both professionals and consumers. “My work affords me the satisfaction of giving people options and freedom through mobility.”
Hickey grew up in Ireland, where at age 16 she was hit by an 18-wheeler, leaving her with a T4 SCI. “I had no rights, no opportunities [as a disabled person] in Ireland, and I was determined to obtain freedom and independence,” she says. “I felt like a second-class citizen there. I couldn’t live like that.”
As a child she always dreamed of flying and eventually began doing so using gliders. She visited Pennsylvania in 1990 to fly gliders as part of the Freedom’s Wings program and then managed to win a green card in the lottery in 1993. She says she immigrated for independence, the right to be equal.
Settling in Atlanta, she quickly went about establishing her new life. She worked for the Paralympic Organizing Committee for two years before accepting a position as a program manager for an outreach program educating kids about the Paralympics. In 1998 she began working for a medical company that eventually was purchased by Numotion.
Despite her 34 years on wheels, Hickey still relishes being employed. “I find it very positive and healthy. Even though everything takes longer, I can’t imagine not working. It enhances my life and gives me satisfaction every day that I’m helping people,” she says. “In Ireland I had no rights and was told I would never do things. Now I do them. Everyone should have options. I see myself as equal now, and no longer feel like a second-class citizen.”

This morning Matthew was somewhat awake around 9 am and I was so excited; it was time to get the tube out. When I told the respiratory therapist; she said that we had to wait until rounds were over. We that is usually around 1 pm. I sorta lost it when she said that. I basically said that I was sick of waiting when for when it was convenient for the doctors instead of convenient for Matthew. I know that it's probably not the best way to handle it; but I couldn't help myself. I'm tired and my temper shortens when I'm tired. The respiratory therapist talked to the charge nurse, who in turn talked to the doctor and he came right over and he agreed he could be extubated now and that we wouldn't have to wait until later. Around 10 am they extubated him and he coughed and sputtered for the next couple hours. He had so many secretions from his airway being so irritated that he was having a hard time adjusting to breathing and keeping his airway clear. They gave him a medication to help dry up the secretions he was having, which helped almost immediately and he slept very comfortably for about 3 hours. He was still working hard to breathe, but he could sleep. Around 4:30 he woke up and was working hard again to breathe. They gave him a breathing treatment and some medication to decrease the swelling in his throat. This has seemed to helped some and he is resting semi-comfortably now. He has not "eaten" since Saturday night in preparation for having the tube removed and they do not want to feed him until they are sure he will be fine respiratory wise. Maybe this evening we'll start feedings.
I talked with the neurologist this morning also and he thinks it will be best for us to go to Minnesota also. He is a different neurologist (the doctors take turns taking hospital call in 2 week segments) and he is known as "the best pediatric neurologist in Nebraska". He has a special interest in epilepsy. He said his EEG is very difficult to read and things don't match up. He said we can look at transferring him as soon as he is stable with his breathing for 24 hours. I am optimistic about this. They always seem to find the right balance when we go to Minnesota.
We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I am thinking of purchasing a 1993 Lincoln Continental. The car is flawless
and only has 40 000 miles. The only issue I have with it is that it has a
3.8. I know that these engines can be problematic as for head gaskets &
transmission. Anything else I should watch for?
Off the top of my head...
The air bag struts and related system(s).
The heater core.
The AC evaporator.
The temperature door blend servo.
The exhaust system.
The timing cover/gasket.
These things are turds.
RUN AWAY from this car unless it is given to you, and you have a reliable
back-up vehicle, and you are willing to junk it with the first inevitable
major repair issue. This car was a prime example of turning an otherwise
awesome basic 3.0L Taurus into a fully-loaded-ready-to-break-down 3.8L
Hopefully you took the advice. This is probably one of the worst if
not THE WORST model car Ford has ever perpetrated upon the world.
This car will nickel (no dollar you) to death. Don't say you were'nt

How compression of tubular bandage could be of assistance in 6-year-old venous ulcers
AbstractIn wound care, the management of leg ulcers requires that the clinician must always consider a venous, arterial or mixed aetiology. Most wound care practitioners are also familiar with the ever present challenge of patients who need to wear compression, but are non-adherent. A common belief in the community and even among clinicians is that patients with leg ulcers need to wear “tight stockings” for optimal healing of wounds, without taking the vascular status into consideration.

Cultures of the new world Essay
Cultures of the new world
When the New World was discovered, Native American peoples had spread throughout North and South America. Often they were hunter/gatherers, but they had established various civilizations. The Europeans considered themselves far superior to these natives, and European arrival invariably led to native peoples being subjected to European rule. The Europeans brought superior weapons such as fire-arms, and diseases, which took an appalling toll on native peoples.
Native peoples were often unable to assimilate themselves to European culture, and fell into ongoing conflict with the Europeans, resulting in the decimation of native tribes or their relegation to lands beyond a widening sphere of European control. Native Americans’ most lasting contributions were two food crops that reshaped of European farming: corn and potatoes. At the time they settled the New World, Europeans were feeling the effects of the Renaissance and the Reformation.
Spain had emerged from centuries of division to become a united country. Portugal was trying to emerge as a sea power and a mercantile power, taking advantage of the slave trade. England was breaking free of continental control and experiencing the remarkable flowering of the Tudor-Stuart period. Open realizing the vast extent of the New World, the Europeans rushed to establish colonial settlements. These colonies reflected the cultures from which they were sent.
The Portugese colonies in Brazil were marked by the depredations of slavery. Spanish colonies reveled in the wealth they found in many parts of the New World. English colonists carried their traditions of self-government and sturdy habits to their new colonies. The result has been the Europeanization of the New World. From Mexico south, the region is Latin America, reflecting the pervasive influence of Spanish and Portugese control throughout central and South America.
The United States and Canada remain more English in their orientation, and America has become the ultimate cultural imperialists. Although the Europeans discovered the New World while trying to reach Asia, Asia remained largely unaffected by the discovery and settlement of the New World. The Chinese had apparently sailed to the Americas several centuries earlier, but had found nothing that they felt warranted continued contact. The Japanese were about to enter their two-centuries-long isolation.
The various peoples of southeast Asia, whose spices had been one of the key goals of the Europeans, remained oblivious to what went on in the New World. It would be the mid-nineteenth century before large scale emigration to the Americas would increase contact, and this would be followed by American laws excluding Asians. Because of the very limited contact that the Asians had with the Americas during the period of European exploration and settlement, Asia had very little direct influence on the Americas.
Its indirect influence shows in the fact that the native Americans were called as Columbus dubbed them, Indians. At the time Europeans were settling the New World, sub-Saharan Africa was divided into various kingdoms. Wars among these were common, as was the practice of seizing enemy tribal peoples and selling them as slavery. As Europeans found that Native Americans did not survive well in slavery, they quickly found advantages to importing slaves from Africa, and a flourishing trade in humans began which would last until the nineteenth century.
Slaves in America often worked long hours under conditions in which death was commonplace, prompting a need for the continual importation of more slaves. The result of this importation has been the profound legacy of racism that continues to wrack communities from the United States throughout Latin America.

For many years this historic corner of north west London has enjoyed an annual celebration of the arts, originally as a joint festival with Highgate and, since 2012, as the Hampstead Arts Festival.
The festival has provided an eclectic mix of music and literary events, including jazz and silent film, in some of Hampstead’s most beautiful venues. For nearly a decade the music director Eric Usadi devised imaginative programmes in tandem with his literary counterpart. But in 2020 the Covid pandemic forced the festival into hibernation and Eric decided to step down.
The festival is planning to relaunch in Spring of 2024 under its new artistic directors, cellist Gemma Rosefield and violinist Benjamin Nabarro, and the literary director Valeria Vescina. Building on its reputation for high-calibre performances, the festival will remain at the heart of Hampstead, forging new ways of engaging with the community and collaborating with local schools to extend its reach and appeal.

ADRIAN — The Lenawee Emergency and Affordable Housing Corp., which assists the homeless and those in housing crisis, has changed its name to Housing Help of Lenawee, said Khristine Henson-Jones, the agency’s executive director.
The name change took effect Friday, Henson-Jones said, and is intended to make more clear what the agency does.
“We struggle with getting the community to understand the services we (offer),” she said.
Those services include helping people with family emergency shelter, transitional housing, rent and mortgage assistance, and providing housing help to veterans, according to a news release from the organization.
The agency, which was founded in 1990, began talking seriously about changing its name two years ago, Henson-Jones said. The decision to find a new name came a year ago, she said.
Though the agency will be doing business as Housing Help of Lenawee, it will retain Lenawee Emergency and Affordable Housing Corp. as its legal identity, she said.

Here's to making progress. By day, the first picture shows that Jeremy has made some progress since the pic in our last blog. He is slowly building the frame for his late model dirt track car.
It's dark outside. The garage is dimly lit too, but the work must go on to complete the car. You can see some added metal to the car in this picture.
Remember, this is a process.
The dirt track cars have to be built from the ground up in many cases and in pieces. If you have the money to purchase one that is ready to go, by all means, do it. If not, you buy the parts and you build your own.
It's a lot of work, but when the finished product comes together, it's something to be proud of. When you go to the track you will see dirt track auto racers who have it all. They have the beautiful huge trailers to pull their cars. They have the best looking cars and lots of parts waiting in the wings to replace anything that is damaged. But what you see here is how many dirt track racers get their starts. They do it themselves. In Jeremy's case, he has an amazing family and some very loyal friends that come together to help him get the cars together.
If you want to race, make sure you set aside some time and money because you will need both. The reward? Sitting on the dirt track just waiting for the heat race to begin, hearing the roar of the engines, and eventually, being the one who crosses that finish line first!

The global supply chain crisis continues to create headaches for businesses of all sizes, and warehouse woes paint an increasingly-troubling picture for business leaders. As goods become harder to move, warehouse resources are pushed beyond capacity, with a ripple effect that makes inventory management harder with every month that passes.
US warehouse vacancy has reached a record low of 3.65% according to recent data from real estate investment firm CBRE. It’s a number that one CRBE executive equates to “effectively zero.” Meanwhile, Amazon has been binge buying warehouse space for quite some time, converting old malls into distribution centers, driving a boom in warehouse construction and driving up rents in the industrial real estate market. Businesses who previously had to worry about competing with Amazon’s Prime delivery offerings now have the added burden of living with Amazon’s impact on warehousing logistics.
Burning capital is an expensive strategy
As reported in the New York Times, companies with capital to spare are securing more space than they can use in an attempt to hedge against tomorrow’s ever-tightening logistics landscape. But even hearing about available space can be challenging, and many businesses can’t simply spend their way through a supply chain crunch that’s predicted to continue through at least 2023.
Where does that leave small and midsize businesses whose hopes for growth may be tripped up by warehouse shortages? Ideally having frank, proactive conversations with their logistics partners.
A misguided sense of security can hold your business back
Businesses holding onto legacy logistics systems are particularly vulnerable to shockwaves rippling through the supply chain landscape. The comfort level offered by managing warehousing and other logistics functions in-house is increasingly outweighed by the reality that the logistics landscape is evolving at a pace that’s hard for many businesses to match without third-party support.
One big reason businesses hold on to legacy logistics systems is concern over security. However, modern logistics offerings are designed to provide maximum visibility into the supply chain, greater levels of automation and granular-level reporting. Not forgetting a focus on state-of-the-art warehouse security features to ensure that on a physical level, your goods are held securely.
In a warehousing shortage, agile solutions are key
In the past, warehousing decisions that would be dictated by need now come down to scant availability. For example, it might make sense to warehouse near a loading dock, but that may no longer be an option today. Similarly, the right warehousing space may help manage seasonal demand. But it’s a buyer’s market out there, where the businesses with the deepest pockets make for tough competition.
While there are no easy answers to the current warehousing shortage, the more agile a business can be around supply chain issues, the better. If your core business competency isn’t warehousing, a specialist logistics partner can deliver solutions that leverage deep category expertise, and give your business the agility required to survive and thrive through this challenging period.

Acts 19:13-16 tells a story of some Jewish men (seven sons of Sceva) trying to exorcise demon-possessed people by using the Name of Jesus. Apparently they thought uttering His Name would work like magic and do for them what they wanted. On one occasion the evil spirit inside a possessed man talks directly to them. It asks them, “Who are you?” The evil spirit even acknowledges it has heard of Jesus and Paul, but not these men.
What do I learn from such a story? A couple things:
1. When we are working with and for God (building His Kingdom), the Enemy is going to know us. The evil spirit remarked in verse 15,
“I know about Paul.”
The Enemy knew all about Paul and the good things he was doing for God’s Kingdom. Please don’t find this discouraging, but when we accept Christ and start living for Him, the Enemy marks us. They have every right because Their kingdom is at risk. So, expect an attack. This is why Paul asks us to suit up in spiritual armor in Ephesians 6:13-18. God has given us protection (thank you God!). He’s not going to force us each day to wear it, we have to put it on. This passage also reveals how the Enemy feels towards unbelievers. They care nothing about them. These seven sons of Sceva were on the Enemy’s side, since they were not confessed believers in Jesus Christ, they belonged to Satan and his kingdom, but, as we see, the demon doesn’t even know them (maybe he missed the memo that day). He doesn’t even know who’s on his own side, proof of the selfishness of demons and Satan.
Another thing I learn is...
2. God’s Name is holy. His Name is holy because He is holy. If you believe we serve a holy God you will show reverence towards His Name. People who throw God’s Name around in a phrase like, “Oh my God!” have no respect for God’s holiness. Reading this section in Acts might, I hope, change your mind. Going back to our story we discover that after trying to misuse God’s holy Name to drive out the spirit, it backfires on the seven sons of Sceva and they are badly beaten up by the evil spirit (v.16). After this, fear seizes the community and the Name of the Lord is held in high honor (v.17). If we’re misusing God’s holy Name, we could be inviting the Enemy in for such an attack. What do you think? God’s Name deserves respect. He deserves our worship?
*To see the amazing results and conclusion to this story read Acts 19:17-20.
- What do you learn from this story?
- How do you honor the Name of the Lord?

YouTube has announced that more than one billion people a month are now visiting the online video site.
Since ‘Me at the Zoo’ became its first video on 23 April 2005, the free-to-use website has become part and parcel of daily internet usage across the globe.
The 19 second clip, uploaded by one of the company’s co-founders Jawed Karim, shows a man explaining that the elephants behind him at San Diego Zoo have long trunks.
That simplicity was the hallmark of the idiosyncratic start-up website, until it was bought by Google in 2006 for the princely sum of 1.76 billion dollars (£1.2 billion), turning it into one of the most powerful media tools in the world.
At the time of the Google takeover, YouTube had an estimated usage of 50 million worldwide.
The meteoric rise in traffic is due to the rise of social media and lucrative advertising by its parent company.
In recent years, it has changed the emphasis of the site onto distinct genres and encouraging channel creators to become well-known in their own right, even providing millions of pounds worth of funding to particular channels.
YouTube has crossed the one billion threshold five months after rival social network Facebook said its online social network had reached that same figure.
Announcing the milestone on its blog, the recent growth in smartphones has been cited in helping to boost the numbers visiting the site every month.
The company said in a statement today: "Nearly one out of every two people on the Internet visits YouTube," adding that "if YouTube were a country, we’d be the third largest in the world after China and India."

NFL Network turns to Nessler, Mayock for new two-man booth
Brad Nessler, Mike Mayock will call Thursday night games on NFL Network
They replace Matt Millen and Joe Theismann, who were polarizing figures
Nessler is expected to continue calling college football games for ESPN
The NFL Network has a new announcing team for its game coverage.
SI.com has learned that Brad Nessler and Mike Mayock will call the network's eight-game Thursday Night Football package. SI.com reported last month that Mayock had been tapped to replace analysts Matt Millen and Joe Theismann on the broadcast. Nessler, the longtime ESPN announcer, will be the play-by-play voice of the new two-person team.
An NFL Network spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by SI.com.
Mayock is one of the rising stars in sports broadcasting and amplified that standing with another terrific performance during this year's NFL draft coverage. Last year he replaced Pat Haden as the analyst for NBC's Notre Dame football coverage. He also served alongside Tom Hammond as the analyst on NBC's coverage of the wild-card playoff game between the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks last season.
Nessler has worked for ESPN since 1992, most notably calling college football and college basketball games for ABC and ESPN. He and partner Todd Blackledge were assigned the ESPN Saturday prime time college football telecast last season and called Ohio State's win over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl this January. It is expected Nessler will continue to have a role on ESPN's college football coverage.
As for his NFL experience, Nessler served as the lead announcer on the back end of Monday Night Football doubleheaders in 2006 and 2010. He served as the radio play-by-play man for the Falcons from 1982-88 and called Vikings games on the radio the following season.
Since grabbing a share of the NFL's game package, NFL Network has gone through a number of announcing teams for its Thursday Night Football program. HBO's Bryant Gumbel was the network's first play-by-play announcer and lasted two seasons before leaving in 2008. He was replaced by Bob Papa, the voice of the New York Giants. Both Papa and Theismann are expected to continue in some role with the NFL Network. SI.com and other outlets reported that the NFL Network considered Gus Johnson for the play-by-play role, but the network ultimately opted for Nessler. Both Millen and Theismann were polarizing figures, often drawing the ire of fans on Twitter and other social media outlets.
Nessler and Mayock will make their debut Nov. 10 with coverage of the Raiders-Chargers game at Qualcomm Stadium. The Jets meet the Broncos in Denver the following week followed by a Thanksgiving night broadcast featuring the 49ers at the Ravens. The network has a potential ratings winner late in the year when Dallas plays at Tampa Bay on Saturday Dec. 17.

Cat No.: AU5016:
No of pages in original: 469pp
Year published: (1925)
Author/Compiler: R. Cockburn
Compiled over a number of years, the 'Pastoral Pioneers of South Australia' is a compilation of articles that were first produced by The Adelaide Stock and Station Journal as as series of biographical sketches from 1923 to 1927.
This two volume set contains approximately 300 biographies of South Australia's Pastoral Pioneers and Old Colonists. The Foreword claims that '... this is the most comprehensive collection of biographies ever produced in relation to the pastoral industry of any state'.
A photograph accompanies each entry, as well as extensive biographical details. This publication follows the guideline of regarding persons who arrived in South Australia prior to December 28, 1846 (the tenth anniversary of the proclamation of the Province) as Pioneers, while those who arrived subsequently to that date and prior to December 28, 1856, were termed Old Colonists.
A large percentage of the entries in these volumes contain previously unpublished information. Much of this was supplied by descendants and old friends of those listed, including details and stories that would have otherwise gone unknown.
A significant and valuable record of the early pioneers and pastoralists who helped make South Australia what it is today.

So two years ago when I was with my five year old cousin I was looking at old pictures from my yearbook.
"Gavin," my cousin said "who is that?"
He was pointing to one of my friends, Ivy. I told him her name and he kind of gasped. I was confused so I asked him what was wrong.
"That's the girl that I talk to." He said
I thought it was all five year old yammer until that night. I heard him talking to someone. It sounded like a girl.
"I love you..." She said.
"Yeah ahhhhhh!" Screamed my cousin.
I ran in but it was too late. My cousin was gone.

The day before U.S. president Barack Obama declared his support for gay marriage, North Carolina voters approved a constitutional ban on gay marriage and other legally recognized same-sex unions. Right-wing Republican lawmakers have gone beyond the new law banning same-sex marriage: the North Carolina provision will also prohibit straight civil unions and domestic partnerships. At a time when developed nations are legalizing the practice, forty-two U.S. states now ban it--twelve by statute and thirty by state constitutional amendment. The Universal Life Church Monastery strongly believes that all loving unions deserve legal recognition, and that we can achieve this by calling on corporations to defend marriage equality.
Major corporations have already begun to show support for just and fair marriage laws. When the Washington state legislature passed marriage equality in February, several northwest companies had already announced support for the measure, including Starbucks, Microsoft, Group Health, Nike, Concur, RealNetworks, and Vulcan, Inc. Discrimination, they argued, was not only unjust, but it was bad for business. And this seems to have been borne out by the data. Even after the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage called for a boycott of Starbucks products, Starbucks stock actually continued to _rise_, not decline. There is now even a Facebook page of Starbucks customers supporting same-sex marriage.
But big companies can be doing even more to defend equality. Since defending equality seems to be good for business, big companies should be implementing business practices which impose penalties on discriminatory states and actively attracting talent through recruitment, advertising, and incentives. One high-profile company with this kind of power is Google. The online services company, which supports marriage equality, should make North Carolina and other states feel the true sting of legislating discrimination by denying them business services in the form of Internet searches and advertising. They might even consider launching an advertising campaign with the motto "Don't Be Evil". It is a win-win situation for businesses and social justice advocates, and a devastating loss for discriminatory lobbyists. States that deny equal rights will quickly realize the economic ramifications of passing unjust laws.
This type of strategizing must become the new blueprint for corporate social responsibility if we as ordained ministers are to continue making inroads in the social justice arena. In an effort to serve and connect with their communities, corporations have shown a commitment to social responsibility through fair trade practices, environmental sustainability practices, and donations for the poor and needy. Now it is time for big businesses to extend the scope of their role in community investment to include the very institution that so many agree serves as the cornerstone of every community: marriage. If big companies are learning that supporting social justice causes reaps very real rewards in terms of business profits, and if extending marriage rights to same-sex couples at its core constitutes a social justice cause, it is only appropriate for these companies to take an active role not only in defending marriage equality, but in promoting it on the basis of its many merits, for both business and society as a whole. Corporate leadership will be integral to the fight for fairness and justice.
But marriage equality isn't the only area in which big corporations can make a difference--they should be taking a strong, unyielding stance against all forms of discrimination, be it racial, sexual, religious, class-based, or otherwise. Nowhere are threats to hard-earned liberties more apparent than in the current American social and political landscape. Politicians and the religious leaders who prop them up have been making the most audacious attempts in years to roll back or severely restrict women's reproductive rights. Arizona is a case in point. There, governor Jan Brewer has signed into law a bill banning abortions after twenty weeks because of supposed "health risks"; she has also signed a bill restricting health insurance coverage of contraception for non-medical purposes. As they do with states banning gay marriage, corporations with a conscience should drive home the message that reproductive rights are not negotiable, and they can do this by denying business services to these states and sanctioning residents who have fallen victim to injustice.
The Universal Life Church encourages its ministers to act as champions of social justice. Or church supports pushing back at the mounting onslaught against women, gays, and other marginalized groups by mobilizing support on the part of big business and leveraging corporate power and influence to reverse the disturbing trend in anti-gay, anti-woman legislation in places like North Carolina and Arizona. Just as Starbucks proved when it stood up to the National Organization for Marriage and consequently saw a rise in investments, speaking out in support of equality is good for business, and it is this point that we should be emphasizing. There are countless ways in which corporations can achieve this goal, the most obvious being the denial of business services and products to states which insist on restricting civil liberties (economic sanctions) as well as concerted efforts at drawing talent away from discriminatory states.
There should be no Google searches, no Facebook pages, and no mobile telephone service for "hate states". Hate is hate, and when hateful states refuse to acknowledge that God and nature are revealing a new truth, the rest of us must shake things up. Homosexuality is ubiquitous and decidedly integral in the social structures of innumerable species, who are also creations of God. Gay citizens have been unique in their leadership, from General Alexander the Great to Eleanor Roosevelt and a host of renowned and respected individuals who simply want to love and marry as God willed. Our message is loud and clear: sanctions are the new penalty for bigotry. Government is broken, hence it is the duty of "new people-corporations" to unite under a common ethic of fairness, equality, and common-sense, and move our society forward.

Blinkx bursts with ad-serving network buy
Online video is the new TV
Video search giant blinkx is getting closer to becoming a broadcaster, extending its content reach to the advertising community with the acquisition of Burst Media for US$30m.
The merger will bring blinkx’s vast data bank of 35 million hours of online video and TV to Burst’s claimed audience of over 130 million unique users.
CEO of blinkx, Suranga Chandratillake, says that by fusing his company’s technology and large video index with Burst’s massive reach “we will have the potential to create personalised, online television that is watched by hundreds of millions of users”.
The strategy will include the creation of contextually relevant video channels for Burst’s network of online publishers. The targeted web channels aims to aggregate an online video audience for advertisers across long tail internet sites, which arguably rival the scale of television networks.
The reach of Burst’s network of publishing partners extends to 61% of the US online population.
“In just a few years, we have seen online video advertising become the fastest growing segment of online advertising. Up until now, the primary barrier to further television advertising budgets moving online has been online video’s inability to match the sheer scale of audience that television can deliver. We are extremely excited about the acquisition as it will allow us to overcome that challenge,” Chandratillake said.
Currently, display banner advertising sold on Burst’s networks attracts an average CPM of US$1.49, while blinkx's standard, untargeted video pre-rolls were priced at a CPM of US$20 during 2010, reflecting the demand for highly targeted video advertising products.
blinkx believes that the combined group will be able to realise some of the differential between these two rates and share the value with its online publishers. It expects the acquisition to have a future revenue run rate of US$33 to $34m, kicking in from the year ending March 2012. ®

Poland to lease gap-filler MQ-9As.
On Oct. 20, 2022, the Armament Agency of the Polish MoD, and General Atomics – Aeronautical Systems Inc., have concluded a leasing agreement regarding the MQ-9A Reaper UAV. According to information officially released by the Polish Armed Forces, the MQ-9As would expand the Polish military’s aerial reconnaissance capability.
The leasing agreement has a value of USD 70.6 million (net). The leasing service would remain valid until the Polish Armed Forces actually procure and commission the MQ-9B Reaper UCAV – as the Armament Agency reports.
Do jednego z obecnych zaawansowanych rozwiązań w zakresie rozpoznania zaliczane są bezzałogowe statki powietrzne. Dzisiaj podpisana została umowa z @GenAtomics_ASI na leasing systemu MQ-9A #REAPER. Pracujemy też nad zakupem systemu MQ-9B.https://t.co/E0cFzQYXj3 pic.twitter.com/9P0M9tGcY3
— Krzysztof Płatek (@krzysztof_atek) October 20, 2022
The MQ-9As would be used primarily to carry out IMINT and SIGINT roles. The Polish MoD has not released any details regarding the detailed specification of the UAVs acquired yet.
We know that the MQ-9A orders were only being accepted until a few weeks ago. The Dutch MoD was willing to procure extra MQ-9A Block 5s, but the acquisition process was delayed. General Atomics told the Dutch that they would only be accepting deals until August 2022, and later on, only the MQ-9B variant would be available. It is thus reasonable for the Polish MoD to wait for the delivery of the Bravo variant, and use the MQ-9A lease deal as a gap-filler solution.
Leasing of military equipment is nothing new. For instance, the Czech Republic has been leasing the Gripen fighters from Sweden since 2004; in the past, the Italian Air Force leased the F-16ADF to fill the gap between the retirement of the F-104 and the availability of enough Eurofighter Typhoons to carry out the QRA role.
General Atomics already has some experience in leasing its solutions, as USMC used a similar path when it comes to the MQ-9. The solution is a gap-filler for a gap-filler gap. It is not clear how this leasing deal will influence the Polish Zefir UAV acquisition.
MQ-9 is a MALE class UAS that offers up to 26 hours of flight endurance. The sensor suite includes HD cameras (daytime, and IR), and ground imaging/MTI/maritime radar. The B variant lifecycle has been extended. This version also features a deicing system, is capable of carrying more payload and fuel which also translates into greater endurance. Furthermore, the MQ-9B has a greater wingspan and can carry more armament on the wing hardpoints.
Notably, Poland has been making a series of significant moves in the defense procurement area. The air domain deals include the acquisition of the Korean FA-50 light fighter aircraft and AH-64E Apache Guardian helicopters. These investments follow the F-35 acquisition, with the relevant decisions having been announced in 2021.

During the 3 months of Staying Home Quarantine, most food bloggers and instagrammers made focaccia art. Including me.
I have become very good at this yeast game, and if you were able to score yeast during lockdown, then you were in business.
Fortunately, I have friends in pizza, so I have a lifetime supply of yeast and flour. ;)
I made quite a few of these hefty loaves, some in cast iron skillets, others in rectangle baking pans.
I learned that I didn't need to use the 5 cups of flour and feed the neighborhood, but cut the recipe in half, and made a focaccia just enough for us and a few lunches.
I used whatever flour I could score.
Farmer Ground flour from NY State was a pretty golden color, and yielded a lovely soft interior. While the Italian 00 flour yielded a flatter, less chewy focaccia.
Play around with flours and baking pans and see what you like.
My oven runs hot, so I learned that 23 minutes at 425F (preheated) was just perfect. Oh yeah, and line the pan.
Even with oiling and buttering the pan, some of my loaves stuck....so parchment paper from now on.
It is all about technique, and I found the Bon Appetit Basically recipe is at the top of the list.
You rotate the bowl after your yeast has doubled in size overnight in the fridge, and using 2 forks, you fold the dough 4 times. It's a process, but you will get the hang of it about the third time you make one of these beauties.
I even made one with dates and walnuts folded in the middle. I love them all.
So cheery and pretty during this strange time.
Click here for the recipe and video tutorial from Basically.
I even made a pissaladiere! with anchovies, olives and caramelized onions....it was our fave.
Decorate as you wish and have fun.
These loaves kept me sane, honestly.
It was so nice to wake up and visit my dough that had been rising all night, and feeling that pillowy ball of gluten.
It lifted my spirits, and I will be making focaccia forever.

Disclaimer: The information provided is based upon what is mentioned on PayPal website, is correct at the time of this blog post and may change in the future.
PayPal is the best payment solution when you want to sell goods and services overseas. It is the most trusted global service to send and receive payments.
PayPal has made global selling easy for merchants in India. Those willing to expand their business across different countries can use this fast, easy and safe payment solution.
You can add PayPal button to your site and start accepting payments in different currencies. It comes pre-integrated with e-commerce solutions like Shopify, Magento, OS Commerce.
You can easily use PayPal to sell online in India. To see how Paypal works, visit their demo site.
IMPORTANT UPDATE ( 8 November’17):
PayPal today announced the launch of its domestic operations in India. Indian consumers can use PayPal to shop online at select websites like Pepperfry, Makemytrip etc..
It’s just a beginning as more sites are going to use Paypal. This is a good news for online merchants as they can use Paypal to accept payments from Indian shoppers as well.
Benefits of using PayPal
- Instead of restricting yourself to the local market, you get access to over 179 million global customers who use PayPal. In Asia Pacific alone, 10.7 million buyers are using Paypal.
- PayPal is an internationally recognized payment gateway. When you are working with the best, customers feel confident to purchase.
- As PayPal offers different payment options, chances of successful transactions increase a lot.
- You don’t have to wait for the payment for days. PayPal transfers funds to your account daily.
- PayPal has a seller protection policy for selling physical and non-physical goods (excluding digital goods) to protect you from fraudulent transactions.
Before you start using PayPal targeting global customers, you ought to know about legal requirements and restrictions.
So, read these points carefully before using PayPal to sell online in India:
As per RBI guidelines, you need to link your bank account to your PayPal account to receive cross border payments.
Sellers can’t receive payment of more than $10,000 per transaction for goods and services sold by them.
To start accepting overseas payments, you need to have a business account. You will be required to:
- Enter your PAN card details and email address. PayPal verifies your PAN details instantly. Remember, your name on PAN card should be the same as entered on PayPal account.
- Add your local bank account and purpose code for your business.
What is purpose code?
Purpose code is the nature of your business transactions. It’s mandatory to select a purpose code for your transactions to withdraw money from PayPal account to your bank account.
PayPal will give you different options to choose from, like:
Export of goods, software consulting, advertising and market research etc.
As an online merchant, you will select ‘export of goods’ as the purpose code.
About FIRC (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate)
As a legal requirement, anyone who receives payment in foreign currency needs to get this document. Many statutory authorities need this document as a proof that an individual or company has received payment in foreign currency.
FIRC is beneficial for freelancers as in India no service tax is levied on services exported from India. So those selling services from marketplaces like Fiverr can take advantage of this certificate as a proof of export of services.
FIRC contains the following information:
- UTR (Unique Transaction Reference number)
- Customer name
- Account number
- Amount of money
- Date and purpose of payment
For every payment received from Paypal, FIRC is issued by Citibank that charges a fee of Rs. 171.75 per transfer. Merchants need to give a request letter for issuing FIRC to Citibank through their bank where PayPal payment is credited.
Citibank will send FIRC to the postal address mentioned in request letter in 7 working days.
See: Request letter Sample.
Receive payment via Email or online invoice
This is an awesome service especially helpful for those selling services and for freelancers. You don’t even need to have a website for that. When you want to send invoice via email, just fill the specified form and PayPal will send the invoice. Customers will also receive payment button alongwith invoice.
There are no charges for sending invoice. Once the payment is made, you are charged a fee (See the details of PayPal fees later in this article). There’s no monthly set up or cancellation fee.
Sell on eBay and Etsy
Sellers who want to expand their business globally can list their products on Etsy and eBay.com apart from selling locally in India. Checkout with PayPal is enabled on these marketplaces.

Monthly sales volume upto $3000 USD

Dear Fine Literary Folks,
It’s been a while since we’ve posted new work and appreciate your patience with us as we moved our headquarters across the country. We’ve readjusted our schedule and here are some new dates to pay attention to:
We have an upcoming post about our first year as a press, including: what we think worked, what we think didn’t, and what we’d like to see in 2014. We’re looking forward to sharing that and much more in the upcoming weeks. As always, please keep in touch, and stayed tuned.
Thanks for all the love and support.
UPDATE: We are currently sending out responses. Please expect to hear from us by October 31, 2013.
After 23 hours repairing
ice storm damage, the lineman
falls into bed and dreams
of watching his children grow
out of their shoes.
―Todd Jailer from Working Classics: Poems on Industrial Life
At what point in your writing process are you able to view your work with a more objective eye?
Sending work out did change my work, though. When I knew that the poems were going to be read by a stranger, I cleaned them up. And when I got them back rejected, I could see them with a really cold eye. ―Kay Ryan in an interview with the Paris Review
What’s lived is gone, a blissful
hit. The last unraveled green.
I get your need now
Its half-breath from transcendence.
―Cristina Garcia, The Lesser Tragedy of Death
We’ve shared Chuck Wendig’s 25 tips on rejection before, but it’s so good you ought to read it again:
Rejection has value. It teaches us when our work or our skillset is not good enough and must be made better. This is a powerful revelation, like the burning UFO wheel seen by the prophet Ezekiel, or like the McRib sandwich shaped like the Virgin Mary seen by the prophet Steve Jenkins. Rejection refines us. Those who fall prey to its enervating soul-sucking tentacles are doomed. Those who persist past it are survivors. Best ask yourself the question: what kind of writer are you? The kind who survives? Or the kind who gets asphyxiated by the tentacles of woe?
Stafford: They can be done without, I would say. But on the other hand, in my own case, I like sociability and I like to be around other writers and I like the feeling that it is OK to be a writer. And in the big society not very many people are. You may feel odd or lonesome. Are you really doing something that normal people can do and get away with? You can go to a workshop and meet a lot of people who have similar interests and they talk about what they are reading and writing. I like workshops and though I don’t think they are essential I do think they are convenient and fun and, for many people, helpful. I don’t really see any harm in them. Even in workshops you can go away and write if you want to. It’s allowed.
Below is a tiny excerpt from our June short story by Mel Bosworth and Ryan Ridge:
He decided to propose during intercourse. Here’s what he proposed: “How about I take this condom off?” She accepted. Then, midway through intercourse—you could tell it was midway because of the giant game-clock on the ceiling—she presented a proposition of her own…

'My whole life has been one of rejection,' America's most successful cartoonist says. 'Women. Dogs. Comic strips.' A moment of silence while this curious information sinks in.
'I've been reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's short stories lately,' he goes on. 'I like them because everyone gets rejected. Ever read 'The Rich Boy?' He frequently puts his head in his hand and cries.'
―Charles M. Schulz in a 1996 interview with The Washington Post.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract Quantitative measures for the severity of MPTP-induced parkinsonism and response to antiparkinsonian interventions in monkeys have been lacking. We carried out an oral levodopa dose-response study in two rhesus monkeys whose left hemiparkinsonism was induced by intracarotid administration of MPTP. A newly developed clinical rating scale of monkey parkinsonism showed a consistent dose-response relationship for levodopa over the dosage range of 50-3,500 mg/day. Antiparkinsonian effects appeared at 200 mg/day and were optimal at 1,000-2,000 mg/day. Levodopa also reversed rotational behavior, improved movement times for both the impaired and opposite upper limb, and produced dyskinesias at high dosages. Thus, MPTP-induced hemiparkinsonism in monkeys closely resembles the human disease condition, is associated with sensitive response measures, and should prove valuable for assessing novel antiparkinsonian therapies.

Trump: US may have no choice but to ‘totally destroy’ North Korea
In his first address to United Nations, US President Donald Trump has threatened North Korea with total destruction if it attacks the US or its allies. He also blasted Iran, Venezuela, Cuba and Syria.
If forced to defend itself and its allies, the US “will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” Trump said in his remarks at the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. He also called North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un a “Rocket Man” on a suicide mission.
Trump thanked China and Russia for joining the US at the UN Security Council to impose new sanctions on the DPRK. In the past two month, the UNSC passed two rounds of sanctions against North Korea for its repeated testing of ballistic missiles.
Last week, Moscow told Washington that while Russia and China are implementing the sanctions part of the UNSC resolution, the US must deliver on its obligation to pursue diplomacy to defuse the crisis.
Meanwhile, North Korea warned Monday that the more sanctions imposed on it, the more quickly it will complete its nuclear force, official state news agency KCNA reports.
Trump declared the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran an “embarrassment to the US,” adding, “frankly, I don’t think you’ve heard the last of it.”
His administration has threatened to quit the deal if the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) did not require and obtain access to all Iranian military sites.
The UN’s nuclear watchdog last week certified that Iran complied with the agreement, which was negotiated by world powers - including the US - two years ago, in order to make sure Iran does not build nuclear weapons.
Venezuela & socialism
Trump also railed against Venezuela and its leadership, saying the US will help the Venezuelan people “regain their country and restore their democracy.”
“We call for the full restoration of democracy and political freedoms in Venezuela,” Trump said, adding that the US has imposed sanctions against the government of President Nicolas Maduro and is prepared to do more.
He then went on to blast socialism in places like Venezuela and Cuba, saying that their problems stem from the fact that “socialism has been faithfully implemented.”
Earlier in the speech, however, Trump spoke about the importance of sovereignty as a guiding principle in international relations.
“We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone,” Trump said. “We are guided by outcomes, not ideology.”
The American president stated he will always put America first, just like other leaders in the room “will always and should always put your countries first,” he said, drawing brief applause from the audience.
