DAV empowers Army veteran to seek much-needed care
Even as a teenager, Army veteran Rhonda White did her part to help others.
“I came from a poor family and worked a lot during high school to help support my little brother and sister,” said White. “College was not on my horizon at the time, so the military was my only option to make something of myself.”
In 1990, attached to the 21st TAACOM Unit out of Indianapolis, White deployed to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, where she worked for the Long-Range Planning Cell in Daharan and King Khalid Military City during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm.
“I was 24-years-old at the time of deployment, and it was the first time I was away for that long during the holidays — Christmas, New Year’s, birthday, Easter,” White said. “It was hard and lonely at times, but knowing that I was serving for such a cause gave me strength and much purpose.”
Not long after White returned home, she began experiencing fatigue, joint pain, backaches, headaches, and a range of other symptoms that would ultimately be attributed to Gulf War Illness caused by exposure to environmental hazards, such as burning oil wells, sand, and chemicals.
“My doctors told me it was likely stress or getting older,” White recalled. “They tried to prescribe me sleeping pills and pain killers, but I refused to take them, feeling that I was way too young to be feeling this way and desiring to find better solutions for my pain.”
Years later, White was diagnosed with service-connected degenerative disc disease and underwent cervical fusion to repair two ruptured discs in her neck.
White still battles lingering symptoms and pain from her service-connected illness and injuries, but her local VA Medical Center has offered her some relief and understanding.
“I was offered alternative methods of treatment, including acupuncture, meditation, yoga, and women’s therapy groups to cope with my PTSD better,” said White.
DAV has also made a difference in this veteran’s life.
“The DAV helped me to understand that I wasn’t alone and that I deserved to seek help,” White said. “We as women sometimes tend to put our own health and well-being behind those of our family and children, but it is a mistake to think that way because women are so important to any family unit,”
DAV successfully helped White with benefits for her service-connected illness and injuries due to her service in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm.
“The DAV team in Indianapolis is a great group of individuals who are extremely knowledgeable and thorough,” said White. “They are sure to devote those talents to each and every veteran who seeks their help. They helped me, and for that I am grateful.”
White wants all veterans to be aware that DAV is there for them too.
“I wish it were more widely known that the DAV is available to help any fellow veteran who is considering filing a claim with the VA or to answer any question that veteran may have — especially women veterans out there who are still struggling with service-connected health issues,” said White.
“No one should wait to seek help from their DAV. It has been an empowering experience for me, and it will be for you too.”

With the Miami Heat locked into a heated battle to reach the playoffs, the absence of Josh Richardson could be an issue down the stretch. Unfortunately Heat head coach Erik Spolestra offered no timetable as to when Richardson might be able to return from his injury.
Spoelstra said no timeline for Richardson left heel … But Heat doesn't think it is season ending
— Barry Jackson (@flasportsbuzz) March 30, 2019
Richardson’s bruised left heel forced him to miss Thursday night’s win against Dallas and as a result of the injury, he didn’t travel with the Heat for their two-game road trip. Prior to his heel issue surfacing, he had averaged 14.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.6 assists over his previous 15 contests.
The Heat will face the New York Knicks on Saturday night, followed by a Monday night clash against the Boston Celtics. Once those games are completed, the Heat will have only five games remaining in their regular season.
The Heat are clinging to a half game lead over Orlando for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Indicative of how tight this playoff fight is, the Heat are also within one game of the sixth playoff spot, currently held by Detroit.
The chief beneficiary of Richardson’s absence figures to be veteran Goran Dragic, who’s been coming off the bench since returning from his own injury. In Richardson’s absence, he delivered a triple-double performance on Thursday that helped the Heat pick up a crucial 105-99 comeback victory.

text: The central government has shut more than 2,400 industrial development zones in its national crackdown on the rampant malpractice of converting farm land for industrial purposes, official media reported yesterday. The move was also part of the government's efforts to stifle an overheated real estate sector. Sun Wensheng, the minister of land and resources, told a national meeting yesterday that the crackdown, launched in August, had succeeded in curbing local authorities seizing farm land to set up industrial zones. The government had investigated more than 6,015 development zones and parks with a combined area of 3.54 square kilometres. Of the total, it has shut 2,426 and merged 294 zones, China News Service reported yesterday. Mr Sun said the power of approving land use has also been removed from local authorities. He said that over the past four months, the government had investigated more than 168,000 cases of land use malpractice. However, he warned that the central government was still faced with a grave situation to regulate land use properly. He said some local authorities still ignored the central government's directives and continued to approve the conversion of farm land to other purposes. Corrupt local officials conspired with developersto set up luxury residential developments that no one bought.

FAYETTEVILLE – Indian Creek Township officials will meet Tuesday, March 16, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. at the Indian Creek Volunteer fire station to vote on the disposition of Fayetteville Elementary School.
By Indiana State law the Fayetteville Elementary School must be offered back to the Indian Creek Township after the North Lawrence Community Schools decided they no longer wanted to use the building.
The North Lawrence Community School board voted to consolidate four elementary schools within the corporation which closed both Fayetteville Elementary and Springville Elementary Schools on Lawrence County’s westside.
The vote will decide whether Indian Creek Township will get the property back, or if North Lawrence Community Schools will continue to own the building. If the latter is voted, then NLCS would have the right to sell or convey the property to another entity.
It is unclear at this time if Indian Creek Township trustee, Gary Scherchel’s personal connection with NLCS could possibly pose a conflict of interest regarding the vote process and its outcome Tuesday night. Scherschel drives a school bus for NLCS and other immediate family is employed by NLCS as well. WBIW made attempts to connect with Indian Creek Township Trustee Gary Scherschel, seeking a media interview, however, Scherschel has yet to respond.
Lawrence County Independent Schools was formed following the consolidation of North Lawrence Community Schools and approached both Indian Creek Township and Perry Township on acquiring the schools to be used as a school facility.
Perry Township Trustee, Bob Phillips, and the advisory board voted to support the Lawrence County Independent Schools in acquiring the Springville building for LCIS.
Once the Perry Township officials receive the property they will quitclaim the deed over to LCIS school officials. This will allow them to have full control and use of the building and legal obligations are removed from the township.
At this time the Perry Township officials are waiting on the final debt of both Fayetteville and Springville to be moved to the Oolitic School Gym property. Once the bank has completed the final paperwork, the deed for the property Springville Elementary School sits on, will be transferred back to Perry Township.
This process will be easier for Indian Creek Township because all the leg work in transferring the property has already been completed. It will just be the township’s decision to acquire the facility.
Indian Creek Township could also decide to acquire the building for its own purposes and use it for another use other than an education facility.
Taxpayers in Indian Creek, and Spice Valley Township have been interested in the final fate of Fayetteville Elementary School, some wanting the schools to remain within their area.
At this time LCIS will be offering K- 8 education to students in Lawrence County.

Adults and CAPD
Often I am asked if I evaluate adults with CAPD. The next question is what can be done to assist the adult and why was an evaluation for CAPD provided?
In my practice, psychologists refer adults for a CAPD evaluation for differential diagnosis, especially when the comprehensive psychological evaluation indicates the presence of weak auditory memory or when attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is suspected. A common statement from the adult who is diagnosed with CAPD is, “What a relief that I now know why I struggle with complex auditory information!”
The adult clientele we would most likely encounter are those:
- with a history of CAPD with intervention as a younger person.
- who experience auditory deficits due to neurological or degenerative diagnoses that compromises the central auditory nervous system (CANS) such as traumatic brain injuries, cardio vascular accidents, Alzheimer’s, and multiple sclerosis.
- who experience CANS degenerative processes related to normal aging.
- who are evaluated for CAPD for the first time even though they have experienced, for many years, difficulty in accurately perceiving the auditory message.1
While CAPD remediation may or may not include auditory training (AT), there are additional facets involved in developing a successful management plan for the adult with CAPD. The adult is involved with more daily living situations than the child’s school and home environments. The adult may perform community service, have work commitments, attend civic and religious events, or have family responsibilities that all may be affected by the CAPD.
Common behaviours seen in adults have been noted for many years. The adult may experience a lack of appreciation of music, has difficulty in understanding the message during telephone conversations, and may struggle in learning specific technical or vocational language. Most adults will complain that rapid speech and lengthy directions are difficult to comprehend.
A client who worked as a secretary indicated that she required the person on the telephone to speak to her in a slow manner as if she were in grade six. This was a learned strategy to be successful in her job performance due to her weak auditory memory skills.
Another client, age 60, was taught at a support group for adults with CAPD to use his laminated bookmark-size listing of salad dressings (that he keeps in his shirt pocket) when he is at a restaurant. The waitress is asked to point at only two available salad dressings. Such a tactic reduces fatigue and tension in trying to remember such information in a social setting.
Auditory training should not be dismissed from the intervention program of the adult client. For example, a 52-year-old woman with a severe level of a decoding type of CAPD responds to her son “poetry” rather than “poultry” when he inquires of the evening dinner menu. She experienced humiliation from her coworkers as she could not pronounce a coworker’s name and would say “Prunence” instead of “Prudence.” This woman became more discouraged when her teenage children would laugh at her when she could not differentiate words in songs. This client worked hard during her AT sessions, with some gains, and was receiving counseling sessions from a psychologist to learn coping strategies.
Some levels of plasticity of the adult brain do occur; however, focus may be less on these formal and informal AT methods (with the exception of the above example) in order to enhance the signal quality and the client’s ability to improve linguistic and metacognitive skills.
A 22-year-old woman with traumatic brain injury (TBI), weak auditory memory skill, and significant noise intolerance issues could not function during a conversation due to her intolerance to room light and any type of soft or loud noise. Her posture of slumped shoulders, the presence of sunglasses and a hat to assist with the offensive room light, and her pronounced body jerks to all noise levels – were testament of her struggle in daily life. After four months of noise desensitization and auditory memory therapy, she was able to accurately respond to unrehearsed questions at a mock interview when intermittent noise was produced via a computer in the room. She sat erect and confidently responded to the questions, without body jerks to the intermittent noise. And yes, she did this without the sunglasses and hat!

PERFORMANCE: The Royal Devon and Exeter Foundation Trust’s specialist stroke service has launched a scheme to treat recovering patients in their own homes.
So far 40 patients have been through the pilot scheme which has been developed with NHS Devon and sees patients treated by specialist nurses.
In a statement released via a trust press release specialist stroke consultant Dr Martin James said the scheme provided specialist nursing care and rehabilitation at the “same level” patients would receive if they were still in hospital, but meant they could leave hospital much sooner and receive therapy in familiar surroundings.
He said: “It has been working well for the first 40 people who have been through the scheme in its first three months, with patients and their families reporting the benefits of treatment in their own homes.
“We hope to be able to extend the scheme to a larger area so that more people with stroke can benefit, so we can prove that when it comes to recovering from the effects of a stroke, there really is no place like home.”
Sheila McAndrew was one of the first Royal Devon and Exeter stroke patients to benefit from this initiative.
Ms McAndrew, aged 81 of Exmouth, said: “When the staff looking after me said I was ready to go home and would receive the same support and attention that I would have had if I was in hospital I had absolute confidence in their judgement. You still feel well looked after when you leave hospital.”

I was looking at getting the new Gear S3 (once it's finally available), but wanted to find out if there is a Tesla app for it? From my searching it seems no... What I see so far: Apple - Remote S, etc. Android Wear - someone somewhere commented that the Tesla app works on it, but with the same limited functionality that the phone app has Tizen - Nada Anyone have an android wear (Moto? etc.) smartwatch? How does the Tesla app compare? Anyone have the Gear S2? Any Tesla options for it?

As civil unrest escalates and political regimes across North Africa and the Middle East are shaken, how is the reinsurance market feeling the impact?
At the snappily named Insuring Export Credit and Political Risk annual conference held recently in Tower Bridge, London, one bright spark demonstrated that even the industry’s biggest brains had failed to forecast the North African crisis. Pointing to one of the most widely used sovereign risk maps, he showed that Libya and Italy had been considered to face the same likelihood of political violence and state intervention, such as changing the terms of contracts for foreign companies.
By the time of the conference in early March, this assessment had proved utterly flawed. The attempted revolution to overthrow the four-decade-long Gaddafi regime was well under way; president Mubarak’s 30-year rule of Egypt had ended three weeks earlier; while the United Arab Emirates was planning to send troops to quash protests in neighbouring Bahrain.
This is part of a contagion of political unrest that has also drawn in Algeria, Syria, Yemen and, most worryingly for the West given its oil interests, Saudi Arabia.
Insurers in the Gulf have reacted quickly to the prospects of claims on property damage and even contract cancellations. In March, Co-ordination Commission of Gulf Insurance and Reinsurance Companies secretary Fareed Lutfi was reported as saying that “the impact is immediately seen in rising premium levels”.
This will have knock-on effects for reinsurers as their primary cousins adjust their business models and the level of protection they need in this turbulent part of the world. This offers reinsurers a series of business opportunities, as well as a change of risk profile to ensure that an oppressive dictatorship is never again considered as politically stable as a western democracy like Italy.
The long view
So far, the financial impact on reinsurance has not been too great. Munich Re’s client management executive for the Middle East and North Africa region, Andreas Pollmann, says that the company’s losses as a result of the crisis are in the “lower two digit number of millions of euros”. By contrast, the earthquake and tsunami in Japan is expected to cost the group around E1.5bn ($2.16bn).
Munich Re’s exposure is mainly in Libya and Egypt, but even the latter is limited given that it was, until recently, considered a standard regime. Many companies simply didn’t think that they needed cover for political risk or violence in what was viewed as a safe country.
“Insurers have focused particularly on construction and infrastructure [cover],” Pollmann says. “When we look at the fundamentals of doing business in the region, we have to look at the basis of risk assessments and where cover is needed most. There will have to be a revision of where we are for the next 10-20 years.”
Although Pollmann hints that each country will have to be treated separately, given that they should still have “heterogeneous economies”, others are calling for a much more fundamental overhaul of reinsurance cover.
One senior broker source says that many underwriting models will not have factored in political unrest and losses spreading to several countries so quickly. Insurers fear that they might now have to cough up for regional rather than individual state unrest, which would naturally be much more costly.
“This raises questions for reinsurers,” he argues. “They may have to change their models and offer contagion cover on top. Insurers will be asking for another type of product, and reinsurers will have to come up with more capacity.”
The broker points out that many reinsurers do not provide cover for political risk. There is an opportunity for the industry here, but reinsurers will have to find economic ways of providing larger-scale cover for political protest damage and the contractual impacts of regime change.
Charges of corruption
Another broker source points out that damage from the political protests is likely to be minimal. “In Libya, both sides want the oil assets, so they aren’t going to destroy them,” he says. “Plus, a lot of the assets are in the south of the country and the problems are in the north.”
Account manager for political risk services at consultant Control Risks, Dr Joanna Gorska, agrees, adding that property damage and business intervention, such as workers struggling to get to work, has been minimal. Hence, there have been few claims for these problems so far, though she says that “the past couple of months have seen a spike in the volume of requests to assess risks in the region”.
She says these evaluations have found violence to be concentrated in urban areas. As the protests have been anti-government rather than against foreigners, western assets have only suffered accidental damage at worst.
Far more worrying is what happens to contracts once a new government is installed. “There will be instances of investigations into members of former regimes, especially on big contracts with foreign companies,” Dr Gorska explains. “We expect state intervention to increase, but that should mean renegotiation of contracts rather than expropriation or cancellation.”
This is likely to result in overseas firms seeing their shares in major joint ventures decrease, as new governments bow to populist demands for domestic companies to reap most of the rewards. Dr Gorska thinks that many contracts won’t be completely lost, simply because the likes of Yemen and Libya are looking to foreign companies to invest in their infrastructure.
However, not everyone agrees. Founding partner of fraud detection and risk assessment agency K2 Global Consulting Charles Carr warns that “a whole series of disputes come up” when a new government takes office. Often, he says, the new regime claims that contract awards were based on corruption.
This then filters through to insurance and reinsurance. If a company sees its contract invalidated by a regime because of dodgy deals, an insurer could argue that its own cover is therefore void.
Acts of God
Many companies working overseas will have taken out force majeure insurance, which provides cover for contract terminations outside of their control. This includes ‘acts of God’, such as natural disasters, war and revolution.
Companies will obviously look to exercise this protection, provided it is a part of their political risk cover. However, experience shows that this could result in arguments between insurer and contractor, as they dispute whether it was in fact negligence that led to a loss of contract or change of its terms.
“This is the key question [for business] from the uprisings,” says Carr, who has previously witnessed similar disputes in Sierra Leone. “For example, they will have to determine whether or not the change in government was actually through a revolution in order to trigger the insurance policies.”
Insurer Hiscox has looked to minimise the prospects of cover by providing full political risk and violence cover, so terrorism, riots and temporary business shutdowns are all part of the policy. As the cover is rolled together it is more expensive, but getting payment should be painless.
“From our point of view, there has been increased demand since February, particularly from foreign companies working in North Africa,” says Hiscox chief underwriting officer Robert Childs.
He adds that a lot of this demand comes from a perception of risk, so foreign companies hear of the problems in a specific country but still increase cover in relatively safe areas.
“Imagine sitting in your office in Durban: you see the riots over public sector spending cuts in Trafalgar Square and you would think that the UK is falling apart,” he says. “Foreign companies want to protect their foreign assets.”
This perception of risk also means that insurers will look to syndicate their cover among a number of parties so that they will not be hit hard by major political turmoil. Naturally, this will again mean that they turn to reinsurers for safety. This means that the price of cover will go up both for the original party and for the primary insurance market.
The biggest risk
For major corporates, insurers and reinsurers, the big risk is Saudi Arabia. Political risk intelligence consultant Exclusive Analysis forecasts a 45% chance of western expats and oil companies being affected by potential uprisings in the country.
“In Saudi Arabia, if royal succession doesn’t happen cleanly, and oil prices increase, this will have an impact worldwide due to rising energy bills,” explains Exclusive Analysis director of risk analytics Dr Rafael Gomes.
Companies that are energy intensive, such as plastics manufacturers, will find their costs hike. Reinsurers, says Dr Gomes, are particularly at risk of claims here, as they tend to be global players. That means that they back the big insurers providing cover to multinationals, which could be most hurt by an oil price spike.
Dr Gomes adds: “Instability in Saudi would increase contagion risk not just for political violence but also commercial risks. The key message here is not that this is the most likely scenario, but that it requires concerted intelligence analysis.”
That said, the spread of political violence from Tunisia to Bahrain was not the most likely scenario, as the wag at the Tower Bridge conference so clearly pointed out. Reinsurers and the primary market alike will have to show a lot more caution in how they price risk in this region, as claims are likely to increase. The scarier the world becomes, the greater the need for their financial cover. GR

VICTOR JOECKS: What if open borders is Biden’s plan?
If only the Biden administration’s actions on the Southern border matched its current rhetoric.
If only the Biden administration’s actions on the southern border matched its current rhetoric.
Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Guatemala and Mexico. Her visit was in response to the explosion of illegal immigration that has occurred since the beginning of the Biden administration.
The Border Patrol has stopped 900,000 potential illegal immigrants this fiscal year. That’s the most since 2006, and there are still four months left in this fiscal year.
During her trip, Harris said the right things.
“Do not come. Do not come,” she said while standing alongside Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei. “The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our borders.”
If only that were the case. When Donald Trump left office, the Border Patrol was quickly deporting unaccompanied minors, many of whom are teens. In January, it encountered 5,700 unaccompanied minors along the Southwest border.
President Joe Biden reversed that policy. In February, that number shot up to 9,300. It was 18,700 in March. The monthly total has been more than 13,900 since. That surge created a host of other problems, including overwhelmed holding facilities. The national mainstream media weren’t as outraged about this when it was the Biden administration putting “kids in cages.”
The moral hazard this policy created was obvious from the start. Biden incentivized parents to send their children across the border alone. In one horrific video, human smugglers dropped a 3-year-old and 5-year-old over a 14-foot border wall in a remote area. If Border Patrol agents hadn’t rescued them, it’s hard to imagine they would have survived.
That’s not all the Biden administration has done to gut border security. The president ended the “remain in Mexico” policy put in place under Trump. That required asylum seekers to stay in Mexico while their claim was processed. Now, those who claim asylum are ushered into the country. Some aren’t even given court dates. Biden canceled wall construction projects Trump wanted. He issued a 100-day deportation moratorium. A federal judge later blocked that, but deportations by ICE in April fell to record lows anyway.
He’s also sent other signals that illegal immigrants are welcome. On his first day in office, Biden sent an amnesty bill to Congress. His rhetoric has been much more welcoming than what came from Trump.
Despite Harris’ sound bite, it’s not difficult to see which perspective potential illegal immigrants are hearing. In May, a record number of would-be illegal immigrants crossed the border.
After Biden took office, “the message changed too: ‘We’re going to reunite families, we’re going to reunite children,’ ” Giammattei, the president of Guatemala, said. “The very next day, the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the United States.”
The current surge of illegal immigration was predictable. That leads one to wonder: What if the status quo — an overwhelmed border with vast numbers of illegal immigrants entering the country and unlikely to ever be removed — is the plan?
Directly advocating for open borders isn’t politically feasible. A 2020 Rasmussen poll found 36 percent of likely voters supported it. The current border chaos is unpopular. Just 43 percent approve of Biden’s immigration policy, according to Real Clear Politics’ polling average.
But if the Biden administration’s goal was open borders, this is how it might go about it. Mouth words about enforcing borders. Trust the national mainstream media won’t pay too much attention to what would have been multi-day scandals under Trump. Then, let in large numbers of illegal immigrants while the media fawn over what flavor of ice cream Biden is having.
Planned or not, Biden has thrown America’s southern border wide open.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. – Deputies arrested a man who had over five pounds of marijuana and tens of thousands of dollars in his possession after being pulled over for speeding, according to a news release.
Deputies from the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office were patrolling the area of Kings Highway and Interstate 75 on August 4th, when they pulled over a blue Chevy pick-up truck that was speeding, the release said.
The driver, Chad Wilson, 37, had a medical marijuana card, but he was using a Trulieve Vape Pen that was loaded with THC, deputies said. The product wasn’t packed in its proper packaging from the distributor, which is required.
When Wilson stepped out of the truck, deputies saw pieces of marijuana scattered all over his shirt, according to the release.
Deputies called in K9 Shadow to do a free air sniff of the vehicle. Wilson said that there was no additional marijuana inside the vehicle, but Shadow was able to locate the illegal stash, according to the release.
During the search, two boxes and a red WAWA shopping bag were found. Inside the red bag, deputies found over $23,000 dollars in US currency that were covered in residual of marijuana. They also found a vacuumed sealed bag that held one pound of marijuana.
As the search continued, deputies found 10 sealed cans of “emergency food supply.” Those cans held about half a pound of marijuana. Also, 100 vials of Lion’s Breath OG were found, which contain pure THC and require a prescription.
The total amount of items seized by CCSO deputies was: 5.9 Pounds marijuana, 100 vape cartridges, and over $23,000 dollars in US currency. Wilson was arrested and charged with two counts of possession with intent to sell marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, deputies said.

Explore the unfolding story of Oba Solomon’s leaked video and scandal, delving into the details surrounding this intriguing and controversial incident.
Prophet Solomon Agbaye has become a prominent and controversial religious figure in Nigeria.
Also known as Oba Solomon Agbaye, he founded the Cherubim and Seraphim Church of Zion located in Lekki, Lagos State.
Born on May 5th, 1987, Agbaye first drew widespread attention through his YouTube videos where he shares prophecies and messages to his devoted followers.
Considered a modern-day prophet by many, he is known for making predictions about major political figures in Nigeria.
This has brought him significant fame but also criticism from some quarters.
In particular, Agbaye made headlines when he prophesied that Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress party, would not win the 2023 presidential election despite his declared interest.
This political prophecy increased Agbaye’s notoriety.
While he has many ardent supporters who see him as speaking divine truths, others contend some of his statements are more grounded in partisan politics than spiritual revelation.
Regardless, Agbaye has become a prominent voice among Nigeria’s spiritual and prophetic community.
Oba Solomon Leaked Video
In 2022, Agbaye was embroiled in a scandal when an explicit video was leaked on YouTube under the title “LEAKED oba Solomon Abbaye S* Tape”.
The content of the video, flagged as inappropriate by YouTube, appeared to show Agbaye in a compromising sexual position.
The release of such sensitive material without consent caused an immediate uproar, raising critical questions about digital privacy violations and consent.
As a public figure, Agbaye faced heightened scrutiny as the video spread rapidly on social media.
The leaks seemed intended to damage his reputation as a spiritual leader.
However, beyond reputational impact, the non-consensual sharing of explicit material highlights the frequent abuse of digital platforms to target and harass.
Oba Solomon Leaked Scandal: What Is The Story About?
While details around the video’s origins remain unclear, its publication represents a distressing case of “revenge porn,” the non-consensual distribution of sexually explicit material to humiliate victims.
As a public figure, the scandal attracted amplified attention, fomenting debates around consent, “slut-shaming,” victim-blaming, and privacy.
Supporters rallied behind Agbaye against what they viewed as an attempt to discredit him for his prophecies against politicians.
Critics, however, used the scandal to undermine his integrity.
False information also circulated, wrongly suggesting arrest or suicide.
Ultimately, at its core, this is a story about the harsh reality of privacy loss in the digital age, where information can spread uncontrollably.
Public figures like Agbaye face added scrutiny, pressure, and risks in this environment.
Moving forward constructively, the saga represents why sexual consent must be embedded in societal consciousness and why better laws protecting digital privacy are paramount.
Oba Solomon controversy
In 2022, Prophet Solomon Agbaye faced controversy when a video was leaked showing him half-naked with a married woman.
The woman was alleged to be a member of his congregation.
The video caused an uproar within the prophetic and religious community, severely damaging Agbaye’s reputation.
Many criticized his hypocrisy for engaging in such acts while positioned as a religious leader.
Agbaye issued a public apology, claiming the video had been manipulated with intent to discredit him.
However, skepticism remained about his explanation and character.
The scandal put his prophecies under greater scrutiny and led some previous followers to question his integrity.
Despite the intense backlash, Agbaye has continued his work as General Overseer of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church of Zion.
Though likely still dealing with the fallout, he has demonstrated resilience in upholding his duties.
The controversy revealed his vulnerability and humanity underneath the prophet’s persona.
However, the damage to his once-unquestioned reputation may linger even if he retains his devout following.

Whenever a new version of Windows is released, Microsoft runs aggressive campaigns to get as many people as possible to decide to upgrade their devices to the new version.
This is certainly the case since the arrival of Windows 11 on October 5th. The new operating system is a free update for all compatible devices, with frequent reminders of the benefits it brings to being more productive.
However, it still doesn’t seem to have had the desired effect. According to a survey of more than 10 million PC users conducted by the IT asset management company SweeperOnly 0.21% of all devices are currently running Windows 11.
To put this in context, Windows XP currently holds a 3.62% market share, although it has not had Microsoft support since 2014.
There is a caveat to be aware of here. Despite the large size of the respondents, Lansweeper mainly focuses on the corporate sector. The company didn’t reveal much information about survey participants, but they are more likely to be business users.
As reported Sweeper, the new requirements of Windows 11 mean that many existing computer workstations are not compatible with the new operating system. Therefore, the figure of AdDuplex 8.9% may better reflect end-consumer adoption, but only on the basis of 60,000 respondents.
Either way, Microsoft has work to do if it wants Windows 11 to become the dominant version of the desktop operating system in the near term. So why aren’t more people switching to Windows 11?
Windows 11 hardware requirements are strict
It’s arguably the biggest barrier to entry – millions of Windows 10 devices simply don’t support Windows 11.
Microsoft made the requirements of Equipment are much stricter as they prioritize security, with a recent processor speed of 1 GHz, the inclusion of the TPM 2.0 chip and Secure Boot among the more controversial updates.
There are ways around this, of course, but most people won’t be comfortable running Windows 11 on a device that isn’t supported by Microsoft, or will be hesitant to upgrade so that performance is not affected.
Most devices are not technically compatible
When Microsoft announced Windows 11 last June, it made it clear that the rollout would be gradual. It made sense: Windows 10 was installed on over 1.3 billion devices at the time.
But just as Windows 11 was released on October 5th, Microsoft also shared the official installation wizard and ISO file for the same version. This means that from this moment, anyone who wishes can update their
However, this involves manual installation procedures, rather than being automatically pushed to your device from the “Settings” center. Unless you’re particularly interested in using Windows 11, there’s no rush – Windows 10 will remain supported until October 2025 anyway.
Windows 11 is a very visual edition
Even when Windows 11 is available to everyone, there is likely to be some reluctance to switch from Windows 10. The new operating system brings some significant visual changes to the user experience that has become so familiar.
Many items look or work differently. This simplified design language isn’t for everyone, and it takes some getting used to. Aside from the unfortunate Windows 8, Microsoft’s operating system has kept the same look for decades.
Many Windows devices are inactive
Presumably, these surveys are based on PCs that are used regularly, but it is clear that there are many inactive devices that make the market share numbers look worse than they are.
It is highly unlikely that 3.5% of people are currently using an outdated version of Windows XP on their primary computer, for example. This poses certain safety risks to the equipment.
Not only are these devices almost certainly not compatible with Windows 11, they may never see the light of day again.
Of course, Microsoft has plenty of time to get it right when it comes to the popularity of Windows 11. It’s likely that the changes it makes in successive light updates will further encourage users.

Nerdy Birdy and his best friend, Vulture, are very different. Nerdy Birdy loves video games, but Vulture finds them BORING. Vulture loves snacking on dead things, but Nerdy Birdy finds that GROSS. Luckily, you don’t have to agree on everything to still be friends.
One day, Nerdy Birdy joins Tweetster, and the friend requests start flying in. Vulture watches as Nerdy Birdy gets swept up in his new friendships, but when she finally gets angry, Nerdy Birdy knows just what to do to make things right.
A Neal Porter Book
Nerdy Birdy and Vulture, who became pals in 2015's Nerdy Birdy, return in this social media themed sequel, which puts their relationship to the test after Nerdy Birdy starts making online friends on Tweetster and ignoring the friend right in front of him. After @nerdybirdy tweets an unflattering lunch photo of @vulturegirl ("She eats dead things. Ewwwwwww!!"), Vulture has had enough, leading to a line that seems to sum up the book's reason for existence: "Just because you thought it, doesn't mean you should tweet it." It's advice that translates just fine to nondigital situations ("If you can't say something nice..."), but despite Reynolds's sharp dialogue and Davies's appealingly ugly-cute illustrations, the plot feels mismatched to the book's audience though kids will get the Angry Worms reference just fine.

Showing Spotlights 113 - 120 of 190 in category All (newest first):
A three-dimensional crumpled graphene-encapsulated nickel sulfide electrode is reported as a superior high-energy lithium storage material. Compared with an electrode without crumpled graphene encapsulation, the optimized electrode yields significant improvements, especially in the cycling stability and rate capability. This enhanced performance is attributed to the 3D framework providing high continuous electron pathway and more free space for charge and mass transfer, and the stabilizing effect of the crumpled graphene based stretchy shell.

Sulfur is a very intriguing solution for the design of high energy density storage devices. The lithium-sulfur battery theoretically delivers an energy density which is 3-5 times higher than traditional lithium-ion batteries. Unfortunately, several obstacles so far have prevented the practical demonstration of sulfur-based cathodes for Li-S batteries. Among them, the most important one is the rapid capacity fading. Researchers have now developed a novel strategy towards highly stable Li-S batteries by building a strongly coupled interface between surface- mediated carbon hosts and various sulfur-containing guests.

Nanotechnology has the potential to deliver the next generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with improved performance, durability and safety at an acceptable cost. At present, there is a great deal of interest to upgrade the existing LIBs with improved properties and arrive at a battery technology that would permit smart-storage of electric energy. Futuristic smart electric grids that can provide an uninterruptible power supply to a household for 24 hours can replace the currently used lead acid battery systems by performing better in terms of longer back up time and reduced space requirements. With the advent of next generation LIBs, electric vehicles are expected to cover longer distances with shorter charging times; mobile phones and laptops are expected to be charged within minutes and last longer.

Renewable and high-capacity energy systems like fuel cells and metal-air batteries are key components in any scenario on future energy systems free of fossil fuels. The performance of fuel cells largely depends on the oxygen reduction reaction - the process that breaks the bonds of the oxygen molecules - which is substantially affected by the activity of the cathode catalyst. Researchers have now demonstrated the synthesis of a novel N-doped graphene/single-walled carbon nanotube hybrid material by a facile and cost-favorable one-step CVD method.

Almost all strategies for solar energy harvest and solar energy storage that exist today are developed as independent technologies. For instance, a solar cell generates electricity from the absorption and conversion of sunlight, while the storage of the produced electricity has to be implemented with another set of energy utilization solutions such as batteries/supercapacitors and fuel cells. With quite an ingenious solution, researchers have now demonstrated a hybrid, multifunctional material system that allows for simultaneous solar power generation (respectively hydrogen production), electrical energy storage, and chemical sensing.

A new class of high-density, rechargeable batteries has the potential to address the 'range anxiety' that is inherent to current electric vehicles by drastically increasing their battery capacity: molten air batteries have up to 50 times the storage capacity of lithium-ion batteries. These batteries reversibly use oxygen from the air to store energy via a molten salt and multiple electrons stored per molecule at the counter electrode.

By miniaturizing microbial fuel cells, it becomes possible to build miniature energy harvesters that could power lab-on-chip or point-of-care diagnostics devices independent of any external power source. Because micro-sized microbial fuel cells utilize less electrode area and less liquid fuel volume than their macro-sized counterparts, optimizing the electrodes and the fuel sources are the most important factors in designing a micro-sized MFC for maximum power production.

If you ever had problems with the (non-removable) battery in your iPhone or iPad then you well know that the energy storage or power source is a key component in a tightly integrated electronic device. Any damage to the power source will usually result in the breakdown of the entire device, generating at best inconvenience and cost and in the worst case a safety hazard and your latest contribution to the mountains of electronic waste. A solution to this problem might now be at hand thanks to researchers in Singapore who have successfully fabricated the first mechanically and electrically self-healing supercapacitor.

In the present work, the authors were focused on control modes used in distributed microsystems. Especially, they studied distributed manipulation like motion active surface that have been an important topic in micro and nanofabrication field. After comparing advantages and drawbacks between centralized, decentralized and distributed control systems, they decided to apply the control mode to an airflow active surface based on pneumatic microactuator array, and fabricated by MEMS technology. The size of the device is about 35x35 mm2 for 560 MEMS-based actuators and holes respectively at the front- and the back-side of the silicon substrate. In a first approach, and to overcome fabrication problems of the micro-smart system, combining electronic and electro mechanic elements, a co-design software/hardware solution was implemented. By this way, and using a digital image captured from a CCD camera, autonomy of the distributed microsystems could be developed. Afterward, a feedback control strategy was elaborated by applying principles of autonomous mobile robots that lend it to. A first prototype, validating all control mode principles was successfully implemented directly in software. Experiment results demonstrated advantages and good performances of the method.

Making Friends Your First Year!
Making friends in a new environment can be very challenging. You're meeting people with little knowledge of your culture, religion, values, and principles. But, how you guys come together and support one another despite those differences makes having friends at college different. College is a time of many difficulties and challenges. So, when you have friends who have persevered through these problems with you, it makes these bonds even stronger than the ones you've created for most of your life.
Back home in NYC, making friends would be very easy. Most of the friends you created were from school or work. And when they weren't, it was still very easy. When you're from the same borough as someone or are from a certain country or tribe, it feels like a natural connection. These little communities bring a lot of great people together and hence most people know one another in a community. For this reason, many people who have lived in New York City for most of their lives tend to feel like the city is very small. Here in Hanover, I had to first understand that I am meeting people who come from all over the world. This meant that their way of living, their mannerisms, and the normality of things for them was different from mine.
For most of my life, I've been an extrovert. I'm very social, I love meeting new people and trying new things. I am always eager to talk to people and know more about them. Here at Dartmouth, so many people were this way as well, and I'm grateful for them. But at the same time, I want to move away from being friends with people who are like me and engage with people who I wouldn't usually hang out with. And that takes a lot of effort but it's been working. I've made friends who have taught me so much about their culture and where they come from. But, I'm also thankful to say that I know they'll be there for me when I need them and vice versa.
My point is, that being open-minded was crucial to making friends here. I was aware of how much I was used to living in New York and that alone made me very mindful of how I carried myself here. Certain things I said (NYC lingo) or did, I had to keep in mind that it would confuse some people here. So, explaining it or using them very lightly was necessary. It's important to understand that I'm not only learning from them, but they're also learning from me as well. So, it always comes down to both sides of the friendship.

Norway’s Höegh LNG has signed a 20-year charter deal with Global Energy Infrastructure Ltd (Geil) to supply a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) to Karachi’s Port Qasim, from spring 2018.
Geil will develop and manage the country’s first private LNG-import terminal inside Port Qasim’s LNG zone. It signed a long-term LNG supply agreement with Qatargas in September.
Höegh says the charter period carries two five-year extension options and “is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA of around US$36 million”. The two boards also need to approve the project. Construction of the terminal should start early in the new year, aiming for a second-quarter 2018 start-up.
Last week, Höegh confirmed that it has ordered one 170,000m³ FSRU from Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI), with three options, taking delivery of two vessels in 2019 and two in 2020.
Before that deal, Höegh had eight FSRUs on the water and on order. Its seventh FSRU, Hull 2552, is due for delivery early next year, charter to be confirmed. Its eighth, Hull 2865, to be delivered in first-quarter 2018, is fixed to Penco Lirquen in Chile.
The company has not said which vessel it will deploy in Pakistan. However, president and chief executive Sveinung Støhle says the Pakistan deal gives Höegh full contract coverage of its nine-unit FSRU fleet.
Geil Group chief executive Ahmet Caliskan said: “We have already [contracted] 1.3 mta for 20 years’ LNG supply with Qatargas. Furthermore, we are near signing an additional 3 mta of LNG supply with two major LNG producers [and] near to signing the EPC contract for the facility.”
Pakistan joined the LNG-importers club last year, taking in 1.05 million tonnes of LNG via Engro-owned Elengy Terminal Pakistan (ETPL), the US$135 million Port Qasim project that imports gas using Excelerate Energy’s 150,900m³ FSRU Exquisite. This FSRU will import up to 1.5 million tonnes a year (mta) of LNG.
In August, Pakistan contracted a second FSRU from Singapore’s BW Group. Pakistan GasPort (PGPL) has fixed BW’s 170,000m³ newbuilding, SHI-built Hull 2118 for 15 years, to import an initial 4.5 mta through Port Qasim.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is in discussions with the House and Senate intelligence committees on receiving immunity from "unfair prosecution" in exchange for agreeing to be questioned as part of ongoing probes into possible contacts between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia, his attorney said Thursday.
"General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit," said Flynn's attorney, Robert Kelner.
Kelner said no "reasonable person" with legal counsel would answer questions without assurances that he would not be prosecuted, given calls from some members of Congress that the retired lieutenant general should face criminal charges.
Flynn's ties to Russia have been scrutinized by the FBI and are under investigation by the House and Senate intelligence committees. Both committees are looking into Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election and any ties between Trump associates and the Kremlin.
Since July, the FBI has been conducting a counterintelligence investigation into Russia's interference in the election and possible coordination with Trump associates.
Kelner released a statement after The Wall Street Journal first reported that Flynn's negotiations with the committee included discussions of immunity. The lawyer described the talks as ongoing and said he would not comment on the details.
A congressional aide confirmed that discussions with the Senate intelligence committee involved immunity. The aide spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.
House intelligence committee spokesman Jack Langer said Flynn has not offered to testify to the committee in exchange for immunity.
Four other Trump associates have come forward in recent weeks, saying they would talk to the committees. As of Wednesday, the Senate intelligence committee had asked to interview 20 people as part of the probe.
In his statement, Kelner said the political climate in which Flynn is facing "claims of treason and vicious innuendo" is factoring into his negotiations with the committees.
"No reasonable person, who has the benefit of advice from counsel, would submit to questioning in such a highly politicized, witch hunt environment without assurances against unfair prosecution," Kelner said.
In September, Flynn weighed in on the implications of immunity on NBC's "Meet the Press," criticizing Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her associates in the FBI's investigation into her use of a private email server.
"When you are given immunity, that means that you have probably committed a crime," Flynn said during the interview.
Flynn was fired from his job as Trump's first national security adviser after it was disclosed that he misled the vice president about a conversation he had with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the transition.
In the weeks after he resigned, Flynn and his business registered with the Justice Department as foreign agents for $530,000 worth of lobbying work that could have benefited the Turkish government.
The lobbying occurred while Flynn was a top Trump campaign adviser. The Turkish businessman who hired Flynn, Ekim Alptekin, has told the AP that Flynn's firm registered under pressure from the Justice Department.

Ho Municipal Police Directorate investigations have revealed that the alleged kidnapping incident at Area 52, a suburb in the Municipality, is a hoax and a ‘cooked’ story by the victim and his friend.
Assistant Superintendent of Police, Alexander Yeboah, in-charge of the Command, on Tuesday said the two carefully planned the purported incident to outwit being punished for staying out to play.
The alleged victim, a 14-year-old Junior High School pupil and his accomplice, a 12-year-old, hatched the plan to court sympathy and avoid punishment at home after the victim left home on a play adventure on Friday at about 09:30 hours and only returned after 16:30 hours.
He said the victim confessed to the Police investigation team he connived with his friend to stage the story.
Mr Yeboah said since the victims in the matter are juveniles, the Police would review a corresponding punishment for such incidents while holding them.
Meanwhile, residents of the Municipality are calling for stringent punishment for the duo to serve as a deterrent to others.
Prosper Pi-Bansah, Ho Municipal Chief Executive, described the development as “wicked wizardry.”

The Naval Shipworm "Teredo Navalis." A Global Player and Its Entangled Histories
A two-day online-workshop aims at bringing together multiple perspectives on the history of the naval shipworm Teredo navalis from various disciplines. We want to reach out to and connect scholars working on T. navalis from different perspectives and fields: history, environmental and cultural history, history of science, history of knowledge as well as Science and Technology Studies.
The history of Teredo navalis spans various geographical regions, time periods, nations, industries, and disciplines. Of unknown origins, the naval shipworm has been a reoccurring protagonist in reports since ships sailed the seas. The eight-inch animal became so prominent not because of its appeal, but because of the damage and destruction it caused to wooden ships and port infrastructure: boring through the wood, it sinks wooden vessels; tunneling into underwater piers and pilings it collapses ports and harbours. The wood on which it feeds serves as habitat and as means of transportation – T. navalis has spread around the whole world on debris and the hulls of sailing vessels.
Just as one cannot detach the animal from its wooden environment, the natural history of T. navalis cannot be detached from the material, scientific and commercial history of wood and of ships and maritime infrastructures. Thus, the history of T. navalis is not only a global history, but a history of globalization, deeply rooted in colonialism, imperial trade and the history of maritime logistics. Reconstructing the natural history of T. navalis means reconstructing the entanglements between science, politics and economy and the percurrent global mobilities and entanglements in these fields. It means exploring the connections between imperial trade, sailing ships, the military-industrial complex around “wood” as a material and its ecological effects: when and where were mass occurrences of T. navalis recorded? To what extent did the damages lead to the use of new materials and techniques in ship building. And what were the ecological and economic effects of these developments (like deforestation; water pollution)?
T. navalis thus allows us to revise the heroic narratives that constitute the maritime history of the so-called “Age of Discoveries”. It further enables us to investigate the relationships between shipbuilding, shipping and maritime infrastructure on the one hand and the ecological effects and changes in marine biodiversity on the other. The organism also points to the intersection of the history of scientific classification and its moral economies, pitching “beneficial” animals against pests and “invasive species”.


WASHINGTON — Reports of tick bites and Lyme disease are on the rise in the D.C. area. And one scientist wants to track the severity of the threat for his Montgomery County neighbors.
Dr. Ahmed Kilani is an expert in infectious diseases. So when two of his neighbors got Lyme disease after they were bit in a Montgomery County backyard, he wanted to find out how bad the tick infestation was.
“We know there are ticks in the neighborhood. We just don’t know how dense the tick population is,” Kilani says.
He is tracking the ticks in Gaithersburg, Maryland, by collecting them from 15 hot zones — also known as high grass areas — around Quince Orchard Park and testing them for three common pathogens.
“The whole purpose of the project is to help our neighbors and the City of Gaithersburg to learn more about ticks and avoid ticks,” he says.
Kilani plans to post his findings in the community center, and asked the city to post signs around the park if infectious testing comes back positive.
“If we find a combination of a high number of ticks and infected ticks, this will raise alarm that it’s a dangerous area and people should stay away from it,” he says.


MANILA, Philippines – President Rodrigo Duterte’s arch critic is in the U.S. and Malacañang and the chief of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) are earnestly hoping that Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV will behave while spending his time at the world’s only superpower.
During a news conference on Thursday, Undersecretary Ernesto Abella said the Office of the President was hoping that Trillanes had “given” the “correct information” and “not biased information designed to adversely affect Philippines-US relations.”
Also, DFA Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano said he was expecting that Trillanes’ U.S. visit was done “in good faith” and a “normal engagement.” Cayetano recalled that when he was still a senator like Trillanes, he never went to another country and talked to foreign officials to try to overthrow the government.
“Although it’s a free world, it doesn’t help the country if there is misinformation, disinformation and especially falsehood,” the DFA chief added.
Abella and Cayetano issued the statements after news reports came out quoting unnamed diplomatic sources that Trillanes went to the U.S. supposedly to convince American senators to discourage President Donald Trump from visiting the Philippines next month for the ASEAN summit.
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio announced via social media that he and Trillanes met and discussed about “US-Philippines alliance, combating corruption and protecting human rights” amid the “narcotics crisis” in the Philippines.
— Senator Rubio Press (@SenRubioPress) October 17, 2017
It was Rubio, with Democratic Senator Ben Cardin, who introduced last May 4 S. 1055 or “The Philippines Human Rights Accountability and Counter Narcotics Act of 2017.”
The bill seeks to restrict the exportation of certain defense articles by the U.S. to the Philippine National Police, support human rights and civil society organizations in the Philippines, and report on sources of narcotics entering that country.
The proposed measure notes that “since the election of Duterte in June of 2016, there has been a relentless campaign of violence against alleged drug offenders, in which more than 7,000 people have been killed.”
“America and the Philippines have an important and enduring alliance, which is why the growing number of extrajudicial killings as part of the Philippine National Police’s ‘war on drugs’ is deeply alarming,” said Rubio in a statement issued in May.
“This is not the right way to conduct an anti-drug campaign, and our legislation reflects our sincere desire to work with the Philippines to support human rights, expose narcotics networks emanating from mainland China and other countries, and use a public health approach to responsibly counter the dangers that drugs pose to our societies,” he added.
Meanwhile, according to Cardin, “Duterte has unleashed a campaign of extrajudicial killings in his country that has horrified the international community. Mr. Duterte must handle criminal issues through the rule of law and allow drug addicts access to the public health services and treatment they deserve.”
“In the absence of such actions, this legislation is clear in its support for the Filipino people and the importance of our alliance, but also the consequences if Mr. Duterte’s actions continue,” he added.

I know what’ll make this fake meat better... real meat. I’d hit that.
and a light sprinkle of MSG?
I follow vegan recipe groups on FB to use their superior knowledge of porridges and aromatics. And sometimes to mention that carrot salmon actually doesn't taste like salmon.
I've been grabbing the Beyond Meat burgers from Costco - pretty delicious, if a little pricey.
I use MSG in my cooking. Did experiment on wife on cause of headaches. It wasn't MSG. It was too much salt, sugar, and calories in a meal. MSG is supposed to be used sparingly, partial teaspoons.
My friends get massive diarrhea when they eat an impossible Burger. I thought it was salty.
@YMO so it's a burger you can eat and stay fit? Where do I sign up?!
Places where they cater to white people with terrible taste buds.
Lotsa folks don't do well with pea protein. If you're unsure if these fake beef burgers are gonna sit well, try finding some protein fortified milk using pea protein in a single serving and see if that works first.

Arrears is simply defined as, “money which is owed that was required by the due date.” The arrears process, or the collection of overdue contributions is a very important function in your Body Corporate. It enables the Body Corporate to meet its budget and maintain the cashflow required to meet the expenditure of the complex. Without the amount budgeted each year, basic maintenance and repairs may suffer resulting in property disrepair and workplace health and safety.
I am in arrears, what is the process to get out of levy arrears?
Having understood the significance of arrears and their impact on the success of your Body Corporate or Owner’s Corporation, lets now briefly explore SSKB’s process for effectively collecting levy arrears.
The SSKB process can be broken down into the following 6 steps:
1.Reminder notice (contributions unpaid over $300)
If fees over $300 remain unpaid 14 days after their due date, a Reminder Notice may be issued. This notice will outline that there is an overdue payment that requires immediate payment.
2. Overdue notice (contributions unpaid over $500)
If fees remain unpaid, we will issue an overdue notice within 10-14 days after the Reminder Notice. This notice will request immediate payment or contact.
3. Letter of demand
A Letter of Demand for any payments not made can be issued 14 days after the Overdue Notice date and can include follow up calls or emails if payments are still not made. This letter outlines that the Body Corporate can take legal action if arrears remain unpaid.
4. Letter of demand follow up
If, after 14 days from the original Letter of Demand, payments still have not been made, a follow up will be taken up with the owners and the committee. This will determine whether legal action, to recover the fees is necessary however legal action is generally a last resort.
5. Committee resolution
Upon receiving further unpaid arrears, the Committee will pass a lot-specific resolution to determine the next course of action. This resolution typically involves considering whether to proceed with legal action.
6. Legal Action
The Body Corporate can go to the Magistrates Court and sue to seek remedies.
The process has been designed to ensure that A) your strata scheme can run effectively by ensuring cash flow and budgets are met, and B) that owners have more than sufficient time to pay their bills and are being treated fairly throughout the process.
SSKB understands how important it is to have regular cashflow to meet these expenses. Our arrears team is on hand to discuss issues with Lot Owners and to liaise with Committees on effective recovery procedures.
Below we present four proven strategies that encourage prompt payment and reduce the amount of levies in arrears:
- Discounts: Body Corporate may decide to offer an early payment discount. Many of SSKB buildings have found a 20% discount is highly effective.
- Interest on Late Payments: A Committee may reach a decision to charge interest on late payments. We charge penalty interest on unpaid contributions in accordance with the regulations. This can often reach a maximum of 30% per annum or 2.5% per month.
- Process and Policy: Please ensure that you follow the 6-step process listed above for late or unpaid contributions. It is important to be consistent and strict with the policy.
- Payment Plans: Reasons for non-payment of contributions are many and varied. The SSKB Levy Management team forwards any payment plan proposal received from a Lot Owner to the Committee to seek instructions. We kindly request owners to formalize their offer in writing, clearly stating the amounts and timing of the proposed payments. The Body Corporate has the option to actively resolve and adopt a formal policy regarding Discount Applications and Payment Plans.
At SSKB we want to educate our clients on the many different areas of strata living to ensure we make a positive difference to your community. Click here to contact SSKB for an obligation free consultation today.

Vaccination for Dogs
Vaccination has been a hot topic in human health recently and the debate is not new to the veterinary world either. Some pet parents are concerned that their pets will experience dangerous side effects from the vaccines or that the vaccines may carry ingredients that will make their dogs sick. While there has been some evidence that the carriers in vaccines can cause tumors at the injection site, the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks. Vaccinations protect your dog from dangerous, painful and often deadly diseases. When the dog’s body is introduced to a small amount of dead or weakened antigen, it trains the dog’s body to produce antibodies. These antibodies are specific to various diseases so if the dog comes in contact with that type of antigen again, it is prepared to fight it off, giving your dog its best chance for optimal health.
The traditional canine vaccine that most veterinarians recommend is a “core” mixed vaccine that protects dog from distemper, parvovirus and hepatitis. All dogs are legally required to be vaccinated for rabies, since it is a dangerous disease that affects people as well. Additional optional vaccines include adenovirus-2, parainfluenza, bordetella, leptospirosis, coronavirus and lyme disease but they are typically only recommended for dogs that live in highly susceptible areas.
Highly contagious and deadly, the distemper virus has fortunately been controlled very well by responsible vaccination practices. This virus causes lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, fever and becomes fatal very quickly.
Similar to distemper, this disease is extremely hardy and can live for 6 months to a year outside the host. Common symptoms to look out for include lethargy, not eating, acute onset diarrhea, vomiting, high fever, neutropenia, and the ‘parvo smell’. Your vet can do an in-house blood test to diagnose parvo. Because this virus tends to affect puppies, it is a good idea to vaccinate puppies at an early age of about 5 weeks.
Hepatitis (Adenovirus 1)
Adenovirus 1 affects the liver and internal organs, while Adenovirus 2 tends to be more respiratory. Initial symptoms can include fever, GI upset and abdominal pain and swelling. Severe cases show signs of central nervous system problems, collapse of blood vessels and even death.
This respiratory disease causes a terrible cough that can lead to retching and coughing up foamy discharge. Conjunctivitis is also common in dogs with Adenovirus 2.
Rabies is a virus that can be transmitted to any mammal, including humans. A bite from an infected animal deposits the virus into the bloodstream. The brain and central nervous system are the main areas affected by rabies. Symptoms include confusion, disorientation, erratic behavior (like nocturnal animals wondering about in the daytime), headache, fever, discomfort and production of frothy drool. While the disease can potentially lay dormant for many months, once these advanced symptoms occur the animal typically only lives for a few days.
Also known as canine influenza, it is another respiratory virus. Parainfluenza is highly contagious and is a major concern for areas where many dogs come together such as greyhound racetracks. One of the major symptoms is a cough so it is commonly mistake for Kennel Cough (Bordetella), but additional symptoms include difficulty breathing, runny nose, runny eyes, lethargy and can turn into pneumonia.
This bacterial respiratory infection is best known for causing a persistent cough. The bacteria is airborne and vaccines are recommended for dogs that spend time around other dogs such as in boarding facilities.
This bacteria is commonly found in standing water of infected areas and is passed through urine. When spending time outside it is a good idea not to let your dog drink from puddles. Symptoms include fever, loss of appetite, GI upset and lethargy. Severe cases can develop jaundice and dogs that have had the disease can shed it for up to a year.
Coronavirus causes diarrhea, but it is only found in some areas so it is best to talk to your vet about whether this vaccine is necessary.
Spread by the bite of infected ticks, this bacteria causes arthritis, swollen joints, high fever, lethargy and kidney disease. Symptoms usually do not show up for a few months after the dog has been infected.
Puppies receive antibodies from their mother’s milk which protect them as babies. As the puppies grow and they stop nursing, these maternal antibodies will wear off. It is important to wait until the puppies are at least 6 weeks old before you give their first core vaccines, otherwise the maternal antibodies will address the vaccine antigen and the puppy’s immune system will not learn to develop their own antibodies. Boosters should be given at 9 weeks and then rabies vaccines are given at 12 weeks. It is a good idea to booster the core vaccines again at 12 – 15 weeks. Adult dogs typically only need to receive booster vaccines every 3 years, but rabies laws vary from state to state. Talk to your vet about their recommendations for vaccine schedules because every vet has their own recommendations based on the prevalence of disease in your area. In some cases, senior dogs who have received vaccines their whole life may have developed a strong immune system and vaccine schedules can be backed off in their geriatric years.

Education Department Could Do More For Student Loan Borrowers With Disabilities
Denise had no idea her student loans could be erased. In 2007, a truck rear-ended her car. The accident ravaged her legs and back, and the pain made it impossible for her to work.
“I have basically been in pain — chronic pain — every day,” says Denise, who asked that NPR not use her full name to protect her privacy. “I live a life of going to doctors constantly.”
For over half a century, student loan borrowers like Denise — with a significant, permanent disability — have been protected by federal law. If they can no longer work enough to support themselves, they can ask the U.S. Department of Education to erase their debts. But an NPR investigation has found that hundreds of thousands of potentially eligible borrowers — more than enough to fill a city the size of Pittsburgh — have yet to receive the relief they’re entitled to.


text: The food enzyme pullulanase (pullulan 6-α-glucanohydrolase, EC 220.127.116.11) is produced with the genetically modified Bacillus licheniformis strain NZYM-LU by Novozyme A/S. The genetic modifications did not give rise to safety concerns. The production strain has been shown to qualify for the qualified presumption of safety (QPS) status. The food enzyme was considered free from viable cells of the production organism and its DNA. It is intended to be used in brewing processes and in starch processing for production of glucose syrups and other starch hydrolysates. Since residual amounts of total organic solids (TOS) are removed by the purification steps applied during the production of glucose syrups, dietary exposure was calculated only for the brewing processes. It was estimated to be up to 0.59 mg TOS/kg body weight (bw) per day in European populations. Given the QPS status of the production strain and the lack of hazards resulting from the food enzyme manufacturing process, toxicological studies were not considered necessary. The similarity of the amino acid sequence to those of known allergens was searched and no match was found. The Panel considered that, under the intended conditions of use, the risk of allergic sensitisation and elicitation reactions by dietary exposure cannot be excluded, but the likelihood for this to occur is low. Based on the data provided, the QPS status of the production strain and the absence of issues of concern arising from the production process, the Panel concluded that the food enzyme pullulanase produced with the genetically modified B. licheniformis strain NZYM-LU does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.

On Monday, Jack Dorsey stepped down from his position of Chief Executive Officer at microblogging platform Twitter. The announcement came from the company on Monday and Twitter’s Chief Technology Officer Parag Agrawal, has been named as Jack Dorsey’s replacement.
The news came as quite a shocker as there had been no intimations about Jack stepping down and if there were, they were far from being major. Like every other Founder/CEO that has stepped down, Jack Dorsey is going to be focusing his time, attention and energy on “other things”.
According to Jack, he is leaving Twitter because he thinks the company is ready to leave its founder’s nest. Although his reasons and explanations were vague, he said that “I’ve decided to leave Twitter because I believe the company is ready to move on from its founders”.
Jack Dorsey’s replacement Parag Agrawal, has been described by the former CEO as trusted and efficient hands. Parag Agrawal has served as the social media company’s Chief Technology Officer since 2017. He led projects to make tweets in the timelines of users more relevant and preference focused while leading strategies relating to artificial intelligence and machine learning. Before joining Twitter, he had interned in big names like Yahoo, Microsoft and AT&T. An email sent by Jack Dorsey said that Parag Agrawal has been the lead choice of replacement “for some time given how deeply he understands the company and its needs.
As the new CEO, Parag Agrawal will have to meet the company’s rigid internal goals. Twitter’s goal since this year has been to at least double its annual revenue and have 315 monetizable daily active users.
Apart from Twitter, Jack Dorsey is also leading payments company Square as the CEO. The assumption is that he is leaving Twitter to focus on building Square and to focus on other interests. For some time now, Jack Dorsey has been intrigued with cryptocurrencies, more specifically Bitcoin and relinquishing his role as CEO of Twitter will give him all the time he needs to focus on Square and his drive for cryptocurrencies. Who knows, stepping down as CEO may give him the time to brainstorm and launch something as superb as the metaverse. In June while speaking at the Bitcoin 2021 conference, Jack Dorsey said that “If I were not at Square or Twitter, I’d be working on Bitcoin”. So it is expected that he would be working on Bitcoin-related projects with his “free time”. Jack Dorsey will have all the time he needs for his cryptocurrency innovation plans which have always been his heartfelt desires after he “fell in love” with cryptocurrencies.
Tech experts have warmed up to Jack’s retirement and wish Twitter a new beginning with Parag Agrawal.
