NHS Trusts across the Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership which provide maternity care are rolling out a new digital system for expectant mums to register their pregnancy and access their care notes.
The new system, called BadgerNet, is provided by a company called Clevermed. BadgerNet is a full electronic patient record, which supports clinical and administrative management of the woman’s whole maternity journey and replaces the current paper-based records.
NHS Trusts taking part are York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust.
With BadgerNet, the way that women access and book into the maternity service will change. Expectant parents will be able to self-refer directly into the service via an online booking form where they will fill in their details, be assigned to a midwife and an appointment will be generated. This will remove the need for women to get an appointment with her GP before being referred through to the service and ensure that she is seen by a midwife as soon as possible. Women who do not have digital access, will be able to telephone the service to self-refer for their pregnancy care.
The service will also launch ‘Badger Notes’, an online portal and app. Badger Notes replaces the traditional hand-held paper record and allows the parents to have real-time access to their maternity care record, which is updated with information drawn from the hospital maternity records. It is a secure system requiring a log-in, which allows parents-to-be to see updates to their notes in real-time, as well as adding their own information such as birthing plans or preferences and feedback. The portal is connected to the BadgerNet system which will be used by maternity staff to record notes following appointments and consultations.
Records can be easily updated at each maternity visit or appointment, and midwives do not have to ‘double enter’ data onto paper handheld notes, allowing them more time to focus on delivering the best care.
Women receiving maternity care using traditional paper notes, will be transferred on to the BadgerNet system when they birth their baby. They will be given access to Badger Notes at that point, giving them access to their digital maternity record and that of their baby.
Becky Case, Local Maternity and Neonatal System Programme Lead, Humber, and North Yorkshire, said: “This is positive news for families across our region. The new system is secure and puts control in hands of families and easy access to their notes for the healthcare professionals involved in their care,
“The app is easy to use and so we expect that most parents-to-be will enjoy the benefits almost straightaway. We feel that this portal allows us to enhance our person-centred approach, putting families at the heart of their maternity care throughout the pregnancy and post-natal journey.”

Dakota Johnson was first out of the accentless Celine gate. The actor wore a red sequinned minidress from Hedi Slimane’s debut collection for the French house at the LA premiere of Suspiria. It was a bold salute to a designer who generated a hefty amount of headlines after his Paris show, and the work of Johnson’s stylist Kate Young, who is a force to be reckoned with. She knows how to get her clients column inches, too.
Second up, it was Natalie Portman’s turn. But, while her Hollywood colleague chose a short, shimmering design that was resolutely Slimane’s, Portman went down the understated tailoring route. She chose a cream sequinned shirt and classic black separates for the 2018 IndieWire Honours in LA, and reminded the industry that Slimane’s rock ‘n’ roll suiting is what originally amassed his cult following when he worked at Dior Homme.
Portman, a Dior ambassador, rarely wears anything other than the brand she is contractually obligated to. She’s a Dior woman through and through, but when she does step out of her comfort zone, she does so for a reason. A turn in fabulous gold sequinned Gucci at the 2018 Venice Film Festival premiere of Vox Lux, for example, made a statement because she rarely deviates from black. Rather than do the red carpet of a musical drama by halves, she went full throttle in the most zeitgeisty brand doing glamour at the moment.
And so, Portman could have gone to any fashion house for a slick suit befitting her event but, like Johnson, she’s also got a power stylist working behind-the-scenes – Karla Welch.

In response to these claims, the SoE released a statement on 8 March saying that "the UK media is not bigoted and will not be swayed from its vital role holding the rich and powerful to account following the attack on the press by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex."
Murray also stressed in the statement that it was "untrue that sections of the UK press were bigoted" and called the claims made by the duke and duchess "not acceptable ... without providing any supporting evidence."
Some 236 journalists of color from the Guardian, Metro, the New York Times, the BBC signed an open letter expressing their dismay at Murray's response. Editors of top British media, including Financial Times, Guardian and HuffPost UK, released statements clarifying they did not share the position of the SoE and its chief. ITV News presenter Charlene White also declined hosting this year's Press Awards, the largest industry event held by SoE.
"I considered not saying anything about this because I'm aware I won't make myself popular with my peers, but I'm just going to stand up and say it: I don't agree with statement from my industry body that it is 'untrue that sections of UK press were bigoted'," Jess Brammar, HuffPost UK editor-in-chief, tweeted.
In the face of the backlash, Murray made the decision to step down from his position and let the society "rebuild its reputation."
"As executive director I lead the Society and as such must take the blame and so I have decided it is best for the board and membership that I step aside so that the organisation can start to rebuild its reputation," Murray was cited as saying by the official SoE press release.
However, he clarified that in his initial statement he did not intend to defend racism and "not intended to gloss over the fact the media industry in the UK does have work to do on inclusivity and diversity".
Earlier in the week, in a groundbreaking interview with Oprah Winfrey released in the US on Sunday evening, Harry and Meghan shared their experiences as a British royal couple and confessed that a "large part" of why they had left the UK was racism, specifically singling out the bigotry in the UK press.
The UK's Society of Editors represents interests of nearly 400 members, which include editors, editorial directors, editors-in-chief and other professionals from national, regional and local media, media lawyers and academics in journalism education. The organization's goal is to protect the freedom of speech and promote high editorial standards in the press.

HOUSTON, Jan 16 (Reuters) – Traders of refined petroleum products said on Wednesday that pipeline system problems in Mexico may explain the third straight record increase in U.S. Gulf Coast gasoline stockpiles.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration said the Gulf Coast gasoline inventory reached 90.96 million barrels last week, according to the EIA.
Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has ordered the closure of key Mexican pipelines in an attempt to halt rampant theft of gasoline and diesel fuel. This has caused shortages in that country and sparked concerns of an impact to its economy if the shortfalls are prolonged.
Across the United States, gasoline inventories hit 255.6 million barrels, the highest weekly level since February of 2017, EIA data shows.
Pipeline problems in Mexico have cut gasoline imports by 36 percent of what they were a year ago, traders said.
Mexico has imported 292,000 barrels per day (bpd) of gasoline from the U.S. Gulf through the first 13 days of January, according to Matthew Smith, director of commodity research at ClipperData. This compares to January 2018’s pace of 457,000 bpd.

I thank all those who offered me their prayers and encouraging words. I’ve nothing to give in return but my own humble prayers and some lame descriptives of biblical events. Indeed, to all of you, I am very grateful. I’m scheduled tomorrow for the IVP and for that they made me take five tablets of Dulcolax. Hmmm…limang Dulcolax. Mine is going to be a fun night!
For Coy, tinamad na ako to compose a long reply. Anyway, my message is pretty much the same as what I wrote below your comment on low-profile OT girls. So there…
Back to this post. Medyo parental guidance ito so if you’re below 18, you know the drill. Ask your mom to read my post first so she can scorn it for you. Anyway, eto na…
Novitiate is the time in the life of a seminarian in a religious congregation where he breaks his former patterns of life and develops a life of prayer and a healthy sense of spirituality. There are many restrictions like there’s no TV, no phone, no internet, no techie gadgets, no ATM cards, etc. But mind you, novitiate happens to be the most fun part of seminary life. We learned many things there like the life of our founder, our Enneagram number ( I’m a withdrawn 3), various techniques in prayer and meditation (East and West), types of ikebana (!) and bonsais, all sorts of card games (pinochle, anyone?), and so on. But for most of the time, we spend the day in quiet reflection, leaving me with lots and lots of time on my hands. And this seminarian’s hands will eventually itch to do something exciting. Something that matches the content of my equally idle and often fertile mind. And so I did what every seminarian would do at night when he’s alone in his room and has this sense of urgency, this nagging need, this uncontrollable desire to, uhhmmm, to pass time: I, Bro. Utoy, like the rest of my brother seminarians, wrote poems.
I’m sharing you one poem I wrote during my novitiate years which speaks of my own struggle on chastity. I found my inspiration on this poem from an illustration on Thomas Merton’s biography which shows his doodles of naked moustached women, drawn probably during his bored hours in the novitiate. Never had I claimed to understand what Fr. Merton wanted to convey with his spirituality books, but with this particular drawing, I knew very well how he felt.
I intend to write a disclaimer on how seminarians make better priests when they’re in touch with their sexuality, so you won’t accuse me of being malibog. But what the hoot, say anything you want. I love this poem.
On Merton’s Nudes
(a poem to recite when, at the seminary veranda, the sunset resembled a moist vulva)
Recite me a poem, Master,
that held in, like a wicker cage,
cirrus clouds at dusk, and copulation
-the scent, sweat, saliva and all-.
Just a roundabout koan
which I could cup on my palm,
a projection of my sex, possessing
pointless perfection of pink lotuses.
Allow me to chant it, distill
the desires to a drunken delirium,
pealing: the chakrah of my loins.
It shall be my vesper canticle,
where at the blunt joy of continence,
I’ll approach nirvanah
as empty as an untouched womb.

John Legend Responds To Controversy About His Updated ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ Lyrics
The time for Christmas music is officially upon us and John Legend is causing some major drama with his latest release. On November 8th, he released a duet with Kelly Clarkson of the classic Christmas song “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” However, he changed up some of the problematic lyrics and some people are not happy about it.
Last year, the original song caused controversy after the #MeToo movement with people claiming the lyrics described nonconsensual behavior. Legend’s version with Clarkson has new lyrics that are an attempt at modernizing the song to be acceptable for today’s society.
Instead of lyrics like “say, what’s in this drink? (No cab’s to be had out there)” and “I ought to say, “No, no, no, sir” (Mind if I move in closer?)” they’re more consensual. Legend’s lyrics include “What will my friends think? (Well, I think they should rejoice) If I have one more drink? (It’s your body and your choice.)”
Many people were upset with his choice to change the lyrics to the song, including The Talk host Sharon Osbourne. She says Legend had no right to change the lyrics on a classic.
“What would John Legend do, if in 40 years, if somebody wanted to… rerecord one of his songs, and there was some group that found it offensive, and somebody just went, ‘Oh, I can change the lyrics on that.’ It’s, to me, like a master painting. It’s a piece of art,” said Osbourne.
“I have to tell you, I love John Legend. I love John Legend’s wife, his family. He’s an amazing artist that I really respect. Why do you do this? That’s not right. The thing is, if you don’t like the song, don’t record it,” she continued.
Legend took to his social media to promote the song and seemed to reply to all of the negative comments he was receiving.
“NEW VERSION of #BabyItsColdOutside! A welcome update or “PC Culture run amok & destroying everything great in the history of music?” () You decide. Check out my new track w/ @kellyclarkson!” Legend wrote on Twitter. Do you think it was the right move to change the lyrics and rerecord, or should he have just let the song die?

The Sphinx: Giza Plateau’s Guardian:
Giza plateau offers visitors an exceptional chance to travel through
time. The area unfolds impressive scenes of ancient history not
only manifested in the
one of the Seven Wonders of the World-but also evident in one
the most famous monuments in the World, dating about 4,500 years
old. “The Sphinx” is a limestone, colossal statue resting on Giza’s
gold sand, measuring twenty meters high and fifty-seven meters long.
The breathtaking statue was built in King Khafra’s reign around
2500 BC (also known as King Khafre and Khephren), and is considered
the earliest known sculptor of ancient Egypt. The statue’s face
is a representation of King Khafra, whilst its elongated body is
that of a lion with outstretched paws: the animal symbolizing Kings
in ancient Egyptian art, representing strength and dominance. Archaeologists
believe that the statue was carved of natural rock, amplified by
blocks around the base added from the 18th Dynasty onwards.
The magnificence behind Sphinx’s location lies in the fact that
it faces the rising sun (east) to greet it daily as it shines on
Egypt. Moreover, the statue stands adjacent to the only surviving
temple from the Old Kingdom: Temple of Khafra to bravely guard and
protect it, as well as protecting Giza’s plateau from any intruder.
A visit to Cairo would not be complete without a visit to Giza plateau,
embracing one of the most impressive monuments in the world “Abu
al- Hol”- as locally known -or “The Sphinx”.
King Khafra at a glance:
Khafra was a Pharaoh of the Forth Dynasty (roughly from 2600 to
2500 B.C.), ruling his thriving capital at Memphis. King Kharfa
was Khufu’s son and successor, and it is during his reign, where
the second great Pyramid, Sphinx and the Valley Temple of his Pyramid
were built. Today, visitors come from all over the world to appreciate
the grandness of the great Pyramids, as well as the impressiveness
of the Sphinx. His valley temple, where his body rested before burial
in the Pyramid is the best preserved, and the only surviving structure
of its kind from the Old Kingdom. According to ancient mythology,
Ra was the pre-eminent form of the sun God, and so, the King’s name
Khaf-Ra means “rising like the sun”, explaining why the statue was
built on the eastern side of Giza’s plateau with its face directly
facing Egypt’s rising sun.
The legend behind the name “Sphinx”:
“Sphinx” is a Greek word, translating to “strangler”. Greek legend
tales that a Sphinx was a monster, who asked a riddle and devoured
those who failed to answer it correctly. Thus, Egyptians refer to
the statue as “Abu al-Hol”, which translates to the “father of terror”.
In Greek legends, Oedipus was questioned the following by Sphinx
“What is that which is four-footed, three-footed and two footed?”
Oedipus guessed correctly that it was “man”, as the child crawls
on hands and feet, the adult walks, and the elderly walk with the
aid of a third leg: stick. It was then believed that Sphinx threw
itself from a mountain, as it usually devoured those who failed
to answer its riddles. On the other hand, ancient Egyptian legend
speaks of Thutmose IV- a prince belonging to the 18th Dynasty, dating
to about 1400 BC- who fell asleep under the shades of the Sphinx
after a long journey in the sunny desert. He dreamt that Sphinx
promised him Kingship, on the condition of cleaning away the sand,
as it was choking it. Thutmose obeyed Sphinx’s request and consequently,
was crowned King to build an altar between Sphinx’s paws known as
“Dream Stela”, which reads that the prince remembered the dream
when he woke up and cleared the sand. The Dream Stela is still visible
to visitors until the present day.
Facts about The Sphinx:
There is a general misconception among locals and tourists alike
that Napoleon’s French army or the Mamluks shot off Sphinx’s nose.
However, archeologists clarified that Sphinx’s nose was in fact
lost some time before the 15th Century. Originally, The Sphinx had
a nemes, which is the ancient royal head cloth, a cobra above the
forehead, and a false beard, which was an indicator of royalty.
However, the beard fell off and some of the original features of
the Sphinx are now displayed in the British Museum in London.

Don’t Stress Over Stress!
I’ve had a pretty tough month, and it’s been especially tough these last few days. Between family challenges, friends leaving for college, others falling away and trying to focus on continuing to build my business while making money in the process, it adds up to a lot of stress.
Some days I feel like I am starting to get myself together, and then others, all I want to do is lay in bed all day and forget about my responsibilities.
I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety ever since I was in high school, and I have always had a pretty good understanding of them. I know how they work, when they come up, what triggers them and what fixes them.
So I know that when I feel like I have this last month, the most important thing for me to do is to step aside, (or lay down!) and just separate myself from the situation for a while. It also helps me to create a personal action plan for dealing with my stress.
After I have had time to calm down, it is usually much easier for me to assess the situation and choose how to go about handling it. Some problems require me to create a step-by-step process and others might mean all I have to do is keep calm until it passes completely.
No matter how you choose to go about fixing or handling the situation, you have to remember to always be gentle with yourself. It is really easy to put yourself under a lot of pressure because you just want the problem to be fixed. You feel like other people don’t have the same problems, or you have found that others do have the same problem, but the have figured it out much easier and faster than you have.
It doesn’t matter, though, because they are not you. You have to worry about yourself. And you are human, so you’re going to have many times in your life like this. Being gentle with yourself is going to make handling things a lot easier if you don’t allow yourself to be stressed and worried about other people.
When I was younger, I used to compare myself to others and they always seemed to have everything together, or when they didn’t, they could fix things faster than I could. It upset me even more, and instead of focusing on fixing my own problem, I brought myself down by worrying about others.
Focus on yourself, and whatever you are going through will seem so much easier.
Understand that things take time, too. Like I said, some situations might be fixed by creating a process, others might require you to wait it out or do some introspective work. Whatever it is, know that it’s okay if it takes a while. Rome wasn’t built in a day, you know!
See if there is anyone that you trust that you can talk to as well. This is a tip that works really well for me, because I find that I always have a lot going on in my head, and having someone around to talk to helps to organize all of my thoughts.
I usually wind up talking to my mom, or a really close friend who understands what I am going through. Don’t be afraid to reach out if you need help, that’s what family and friends are there for!
What kind of things do you stress or get upset about? How do you usually handle them, and are there any tips I mentioned that you think might help you now? Do you find yourself comparing yourself to others? I would love to start a conversation about it all!

Take a bow: Fergie praises the United fans who travelled to West Brom on the final day
And Ferguson ended his magnificent managerial career just the way he would want - with a nice glass of red wine.
He declared himself satisfied with the 2003 Chateau Pontet Canet, bought especially for the occasion, with Steve Clarke delighted it did Ferguson justice.
'He knew what it was,' said Clarke proudly. 'He said it was a good year.'
The post-match drink followed a staggering game, as United cruised into a 3-0 lead, and then 5-2, before being pegged back by a dogged West Brom side, who salvaged a 5-5 draw.
It was the first time a United team had drawn by such a score since Newton Heath were held by Lincoln in 1895. It was also the highest scoring draw in the Premier League era.
'I am not sure Sir Alex enjoyed it that much,' said Clarke.
'There is no point analysing the game. We had a great Plan A, which went out of the window after 10 minutes.
Embrace: West Brom manager Steve Clarke hugs Sir Alex Ferguson
'It was a great occasion. That game will be remembered for a long time.
'He was quite complimentary about our season and I wish him all the best.'
Ferguson opted not to speak to the media afterwards.
Earlier, the Scot was given a guard of honour from both teams and a rapturous ovation from the fans as he walked on to the pitch at The Hawthorns.
He was then comically handed a fresh packet of chewing gum by the West Brom mascot, Baggie Bird.
It didn't take long for Ferguson's team to go in front as Shinji Kagawa opened the scoring in the sixth minute, before a Jonas Olsson own goal three minutes later gave Manchester United a 2-0 lead.
Alexander Buttner made it 3-0 for United after half an hour but James Morrison pulled one back for the hosts just before half time.
Romelu Lukaku then scored in the 50th minute to spark hopes of a West Brom comeback, but Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez extended United's lead.

Amazingly, West Brom pulled it back
to 5-5 with four minutes remaining through two goals from Lukaku and one
from Youssouf Mulumbu.
There was a feverish atmosphere outside the ground prior to the match with souvenir scarves and programmes selling rapidly.
One cunning fan incredibly snapped up 700 of the special edition programmes at a cost of £2,800.
Sweet treat: Sir Alex Ferguson was presented with a special cake by West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace
All smiles: Ferguson and outgoing chief executive David Gill accept their gifts at West Brom
At 144 pages, the programme, selling at £4 each, is the biggest ever produced for a domestic fixture in England.
Twenty thousand copes were printed, 17,500 more than the amount produced for West Brom's home fixture against Wigan two weeks ago.
Another supporter purchased 300 copies for £1,200, which means that one twentieth of the total editions printed are in the hands of two people.
Here's a gift: Baggie Bird, the West Brom mascot, hands Ferguson a fresh packet of chewing gum
Snappers: Fans desperate to catch a glimpse of Ferguson as he arrives by coach at The Hawthorns
Legends: Ferguson and Scholes are both retiring after today's game
Smoke: Manchester United fans set off a red flare during the match

Special edition: One fan bought 700 copies of the 144-page souvenir programme at a cost of £2,800
The programmes, which feature a
40-page tribute to Ferguson, are in hot demand and the club had already
sold over 5,000 online by Friday.

FERGUSON'S LANDMARK MATCHES
Sunday marked the end of an era for English football as Sir Alex Ferguson took charge of Manchester United for the 1,500th and final time.
United's 5-5 draw with West Brom was an emotional occasion for all concerned. And here, we look at how the other landmark days have gone.
GAME 1 - Oxford 2 Manchester United 0 (November 1986)
It is a measure of how long Ferguson has been in charge that the Manor Ground no longer exists and Oxford have crashed out of the league and come back again. John Aldridge scored a penalty and Neil Slatter added another in a deserved win for the hosts.
GAME 10 - Manchester United 4 Newcastle 1 (January 1987)
Peter Jackson put the Red Devils in front with a bizarre own goal and Norman Whiteside added a second and though the Magpies pulled one back, Frank Stapleton and Jesper Olsen completed victory. The major incident was nothing to do with the goals, though, as United defender Kevin Moran swallowed his tongue.
GAME 50 - Manchester United 2 Bury 1 (November 1987)
A derby game in the League Cup and Ferguson fielded his strongest team. It was not pretty though and despite goals from Brian McClair and Norman Whiteside, United were hanging on at the end.
GAME 100 - Manchester United 2 Nottingham Forest 0 (December 1988)
Ralph Milne opened the scoring in this one, a reminder Ferguson did not always get it right in the transfer market. Mark Hughes added another after the break. At the time, there were concerns Ferguson would not survive for another 100 games.
GAME 250 - Manchester United 0 Liverpool 0 (October 1991)
Goalless draw against their biggest rivals at Old Trafford was another step towards what seemed certain to be that long-awaited league title - until a late-season collapse let in Leeds.
GAME 500 - Manchester United 2 Manchester City 1 (February 1996)
It would be a long time before the noisy neighbours found their voices. Three titles down and another on the way by this point. Talisman Eric Cantona put United in front, Lee Sharpe wrapped it up.
GAME 750 - Manchester United 5 Anderlecht 1 (September 2000)
Andy Cole grabbed the headlines and a thrilling hat-trick against the famous Belgian outfit as United began another Champions League campaign. Denis Irwin and Teddy Sheringham were also on target.
GAME 1,000 - Manchester United 2 Lyon 1 (November 2004)
Gary Neville got a rare goal in this one, although it took a Ruud van Nistelrooy goal to win it. David Bellion and Eric Djemba-Djemba were on the bench 12 months before the catastrophic group stage exit that proved to be a watershed in United's history.
GAME 1,250 - Manchester United 1 Everton 0 (January 2009)
The finest player of the latter period of Ferguson's reign, Cristiano Ronaldo, got the only goal here - and again it was a penalty. United were about to complete a hat-trick of titles and reach the European Cup final for the second consecutive year.
GAME 1,449 - Manchester United 2 Swansea 1 (May 2013)
Ferguson confirmed his retirement earlier in the week, so how fitting United should win his final home game late. Rio Ferdinand smashed home an 87th-minute volley after Javier Hernandez's strike had been cancelled out by Michu.
GAME 1,500 - West Brom 5 Manchester United 5 (May 2013)
Ferguson's final game looked to be a cruise for the champions as they led 3-0 and 5-2. But a dramatic late finale saw three goals in the last 10 minutes earn West Brom a draw before Ferguson, and trusty midfield lieutenant Paul Scholes, left the field for the last time.

Ariana Grande viral album cover controversy
Oct 17, 2017
That's the cover of Ariana Grande's 2014 album, My Everything. Twitter had an absolute blast with it as many recreated their own version of the cover. Take a look. The singer definitely was amused. Which one is your favorite?


The premiere of the racially charged, made-in-Memphis inspirational film, "The Grace Card," and a screening of a newly remastered "definitive" version of Craig Brewer's first feature, "The Poor & Hungry," are among the highlights of the 13th annual Indie Memphis Film Festival, officials will announce today (as reported at greater length here).
Billed as an event of "4 Days, 100+ Films," the festival is set for Oct. 21-24 at Malco's Studio on the Square, the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, the Levitt Shell and the new $12.5-million Playhouse on the Square at Union and Cooper.
Tickets go on sale at noon Wednesday, Oct. 13, at indiememphis.com.
The schedule -- which includes more than 20 feature films -- pays homage to Memphis movies past, present and future, while also offering a selection of worthwhile new independent features, documentaries and shorts from all over America and the world. As usual, a "Hometowner" program will focus on local productions.
The opening night movies at Playhouse are "The Grace Card," at co-starring Oscar-winner Louis Gossett Jr., at 6:30 p.m., and "Open Five," the new feature from Memphis ultra-indie auteur Kentucker Audley, at 9 p.m.
At 7 p.m. Oct. 23 at Playhouse, Brewer -- temporarily returning to Memphis from Atlanta, where he is directing the remake of "Footloose" -- will host a 10th anniversary screening of "The Poor & Hungry," the almost no-budget, essentially homemade "digiflik" that launched his career. The movie has been scrubbed-up and in some cases revised (new music was required for some scenes, due to rights issues) to create what Brewer says is the definitive version of the film. A tale of doomed love and car theft in Memphis, "The Poor & Hungry" will be followed by a panel discussion with Brewer and members of the cast and crew.
Also on tap for Indie Memphis is a free Oct. 22 double feature at the Levitt Shell, pairing Jim Jarmusch's Memphis classic, "Mystery Train" (1989), starring Joe Strummer, Steve Buscemi, and Screamin' Jay Hawkins, with the modern musical comedy classic "The Blues Brothers" (1980), a Chicago-based film with contributions from such Memphis-affiliated soul greats as Aretha Franklin, Steve Cropper and 'Duck' Dunn. Film critic Elvis Mitchell, the co-host of the upcoming program "Roger Ebert Presents: At the Movies," will host "The Blues Brothers."
Another music-related film, set to screen Oct. 23, is a new documentary chronicling famous British singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock's visit to Memphis last fall, when he performed at the festival.
Also notable are screenings of "And Everything Is Going Fine," Steven Soderbergh's new documentary about the late monologist/actor/artist Spalding Gray, and "Drones," a quirky science-fiction film co-directed by Adam Busch and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" regular Amber Benson.
A complete lineup and schedule will be announced later this week.
--Some of the other narrative features include:
Frank V. Ross' "Audrey the Trainwreck."
Jeffrey Ruggles' "Bicycle Lane."
Bernard and Richard Shumanski's "Blackmail Boys."
Brent Stewart's "The Colonel's Bride."
Chris Ordal's "Earthwork."
Kevin James McMullin's "Exit 117."
Lawrence Levine's "Gabi on the Roof in July."
Geoff Marslett's "Mars" (an animated science-fiction film in something of the style of "Waking Life.")
Brett Haley's "The New Year."
Martha Stephens' "Passenger Pigeons."
--Some of the other documentary features include:
Mark Claywell's "American Jihadist" (named best doc at the 2010 Slamdance festival).
Rod Murphy's "Being the Diablo."
Shaun Jefford's "Beijing Punk."
Bob Persons' "General Orders No. 9," a so-called "deep geography" doc, with a great tagline: "One last trip down the rabbit hole before it gets paved over."
Jeff Reichert's "Gerrymandering."
"The Last Survivor," by Michael Kleiman and Michael Pertnoy.
Taggart Siegel's "Queen of the Sun" (tagline: "What are the bees telling us?").
Elizabeth Lawrence's "Roll Out, Cowboy."
Mark Landsman's "Thunder Soul."
Tickets to most festival features are $10 each. Indie Memphis members may purchase discounted tickets beginning Friday (Oct. 8). Members also may attend movies for free through a "wait line," if seats are immediately available at showtime, which is likely for most film programs but perhaps unlikely for "The Poor & Hungry" and "The Grace Card." Full details on membership prices and privileges can be found at indiememphis.com.

text: Still considering herself a painter Zavaglia finds it difficult not to refer to her embroidered portraits as “paintings”. Although the medium employed is crewel embroidery wool, the technique borrows more from the worlds of drawing and painting. The direction in which the threads were sewn had to mimic the way lines are layered in a drawing to give the allusion of depth, volume, and form. Over time the stitches have become tighter and more complex but ultimately more evocative of flesh, hair, and cloth. Using wool instead of oils has allowed Zavaglia to broaden the dialogue between portrait and process as well as propose a new definition for the word “painting”.

Alone Movie Review
*** SPOILER ALERT ***
Bipasha Basu is really living up to the title that the media has given her “Queen of Horror” and in her attempt to stay so, Bhushan Patel (Ragini MMS2 and 1920 Evil Returns fame) has stepped up this time.
Obviously Alone is a horror film, but with quite a new storyline. The film is a remake of the Thai super hit with the same title. The plot has been ‘adapted’ to such an extent that even the trailers of both films are almost similar. Okay, let’s not get there!
The story of Alone centers on the lives of conjoined twins, Sanjana and Anjana (played by Bipasha Basu). Both love each other immensely and take a vow that they will always remain together and never separate. Enter Kabir (Karan Singh Grover) and things begin to change. Both the girls fall for him, while he falls in love with Sanjana. After a series of events, Sanjana decides to separate from her sister via the surgery. Anjana dies as a result.
Cut two. Sanjana is an extremely possessive wife of her now husband Kabir. She loves him more than her life and cannot tolerate anyone coming in between them. This leads to a lot of argument between the couple. Sanjana returns to her hometown, Kerala, after six years to meet her ailing mother. The place brings back fond memories of her dead sister Anjana and it adds to her guilt. When Kabir notices that Anjana’s room is locked, the smart-pants open’s it and this leads to the entire rigmarole of horror and revenge.
Sanjana starts complaining about being haunted by Anjana leaving her husband befuddled. He takes her to a shrink who advises “love” and “care” for the wonky wife. Gradually, things get really nasty with people being hurled in the air and the wife acting crazy. And then is revealed a secret between the twins that changes all equations.
We feel the director is quite confused with whatever it is that he is trying to convey. Most of the film is shot on beds. The whole plot of seduction and sexiness is so overdone that it steals away all the creepy moments. Actually, most of it looks predictable. To add to this is the roaring background score that practically drives us deaf. May be a scene or two could look scary, but they cease to go beyond that.
Bipasha, attempts to look scared and scary both in a lingerie and Karan amply supports her flashing his toned body at every chance he gets. He is a good actor but seems hugely overshadowed by Bipasha in the film. Some of the scenes really make us laugh rather than scream with fear. Silly words like “Bhootpuran” are thrown at us and we just end up having pity on the actors.
The music is forgettable and the support cast has nothing much to do then to loiter around the set.
P.S: Why so much sex?! Overdose!
Our Verdict: Give it a miss, unless you really have nothing to do this weekend.
Cast: Bipasha Basu, Karan Singh Grover, Zakir Hussain, Sagar Saikia
Director: Bhushan Patel
Producers: Kumar Mangat, Abhishek Pathak, Pradeep Agarwal, Prashant Sharma

The criterion of 200 kilometres for each hour (120 mph) is selected for quite a few reasons; higher than this pace, the impacts of geometric defects are intensified, track adhesion is lowered, aerodynamic resistance is tremendously amplified, tension fluctuations within tunnels trigger passenger soreness, and it becomes challenging for drivers to discover trackside signalling.

What are healthier relationships? Healthy relationships permit you to grow personally and professionally. Healthy associations do not seem the same for all of us, as distinctive individuals have different requires. Your needs around sharing, intimacy, sharing, period, space, prevalent interests or values, and on will vary more than time. It takes coming back a healthy romance to take form. So it is wise to be aware of the need-as in the relationship to ensure you establish healthy relationships.
Probably the most important parts to healthful relationships is usually trust. Not having trust, intimacy is impossible. The basis for the purpose of trust in any marriage is conversation. Without connection, you cannot look secure to share what it is that you want or need right from another. Insufficient communication might cause difficulties in relationships.
Another key component in healthy and balanced relationships is romance. Romantic endeavors does not need to be sexual; in reality a romantic romance can strengthen the you will have of a relatives. A romantic relationship is when two people spend period with one another within a setting that is mutually hearty. Romantic romances are the best kind because there is an accumulation of feelings of love, care, and acceptance that always build up and remain possibly after a breakup. A healthy romance can bring a couple closer alongside one another.
In order to preserve healthy human relationships a great deal of conversation is necessary. You need open and honest along with your partner. Trustworthiness is at the heart of conntacting your partner. While not honesty do not get the proper information out of your partner may not receive the information that they can need a person.
In order to make healthy and balanced relationships job two people must be happy to work at these people. If a single person in the romantic relationship does not wish to work with it then it will not work. One of the greatest mistakes that people make in relationships is that one spouse will not speak about problems inside the relationship. Dealing with problems with your lover is the first step to solving them.
One Click the Following Website belonging to the biggest goals of a romantic relationship is to produce long-term joy and satisfaction. When long term happiness and fulfillment are at stake in a relationship one will probably push their very own relationship inside the “quick fix” lane. In order to create long lasting healthy relationships you must am employed at the relationship each and every day.
Emotional support is absolutely essential for healthy interactions. Without emotional support the partnership is meant for difficult choppy waters. The best way to give you a partner mental support should be to listen. Persons love to speak but couple of listen. Listen to the partner’s needs, concerns, and worries, regardless of silly they might seem. Your spouse needs you to give them the room and freedom to voice their very own concerns and fears with out judgment.
Many people who have healthy and balanced relationships recognize that although it is very important to give your spouse “space”, flexibility, and trust you also need to make sure that you do not eliminate any of all their fears and issues. You must have a lot of confidence in the relationship along with some humbleness. Many relationships that are healthier end up in divorce because couples become therefore frustrated together and don’t apparently know how to solve challenges. It takes do the job.
Some of the most successful, loving, and happy interactions I use seen have occurred in romantic relationships where much more both companions were completely self-sufficient. That they had achieved a balance between independence and dependence. Self-sufficiency does not indicate dependent simply on your spouse. In my opinion, healthier relationships need that the companions understand and respect the needs, desires, and needs of each and every other. Centered romantic relationships tend to end badly because the people included have overlooked who they actually are as persons.
Most people in healthy associations are happy being themselves. They enjoy the company of others and live while not judgment. They may be happy to be friends with others and perhaps they are not anxious by the requirements of the community. They have sensible expectations of how things ought to be and they are in a position to meet those goals without anxiety about failure. They may have enough beliefs in themselves and their partners to declare when they are wrong and to make changes when necessary.
To hold a healthy romance, both companions need to look secure and there must be a reduction in pressure out of either spouse to sacrifice something in order to protect the other. Healthy and balanced relationships are made on the worldwide recognition that blunders will happen and they are nor perfect neither boundless. They simply require that every of them learn to share without view and to respect the other person’s uniqueness. Only consequently can these relationships previous.

Equality is a reality, not a right.
This morning on Face the Nation, Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio made two fairly significant assertions. Put these two statements together, and let the logic-ache begin! Like Ron Silver in Timecop, if they occupy the same space at the same time, nothing remains but a puddle of conceptual goo:
1) Homosexuality is not a choice; rather, sexual preference is from birth;
2) Same-sex marriage is not a constitutional right, not for the courts to decide; if gays or lesbians want to marry, they can petition their legislatures like “anybody else.”
In other words, LGBT Americans are born that way, but even so, it is up to the state to decide whether or not they are treated equally.
Does that remind anyone else of anything from our national past?
The question before us is, whether the class of persons described in the plea in abatement compose a portion of this people, and are constituent members of this sovereignty? We think they are not, and that they are not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word “citizens” in the Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States. On the contrary, they were at that time considered as a subordinate and inferior class of beings, who had been subjugated by the dominant race, and, whether emancipated or not, yet remained subject to their authority, and had no rights or privileges but such as those who held the power and the Government might choose to grant them.
Ten points if you recognize that quote. Clue: It has nothing to do–directly–with the comments made by Marco Rubio, mentioned above. But, before I tell you what it is from, tell me this: that underlined section there–sounds a bit similar, right?
This is a quote from the majority decision of Chief Justice Roger B. Taney’s 1854 Supreme Court, in a case we like to call, simply, Dred Scott. You know, that time the Court ruled that certain blacks (namely, those whose ancestors were “imports” rather than immigrants; in other words, someone’s property, freighted here like a bunch of bananas) were not, and could not, be considered citizens equal under the law until such time as the law condescended to view them as such…which to that point it had not.
Now, you may protest that these two situations are not the same. But while the details may differ, the sentiment is suspiciously alike. A sector of our society which, according to Rubio himself, through no other circumstance than birth falls into a certain demographic, still must be granted equality by, as Taney phrased it, “those who held the power and the Government.” Because same-sex marriage isn’t, again in Rubio’s words, a constitutional right.
Newsflash: Heterosexual marriage is not a constitutionally-guaranteed right, either. But strangely enough, my wife and I did not have to petition our legislators for the “right” to get married. Hmmm…
The fact of the matter is that opposition to same-sex marriage has nothing to do with the Constitution, and everything to do with the fact that many of us just think it’s weird. We don’t get it, because to us, it’s different. Well, I think it’s weird that someone like Rubio, with his nineteenth-century thinking, could be in the high position he’s in and derive any support in the process. But that, too, is one of the hallmarks of this thing we call “democracy”: anyone is allowed to voice his or her opinion on (almost) any topic. Why?
Because, in this country, everyone is EQUAL.

Data_Sheet_1_Predictors of Procedural Success in Patients With Degenerated Surgical Valves Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve-in-Valve Implantation.PDF
Background: Valve-in-Valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV-TAVI) is a growing alternative for redo-surgery in patients with degenerated surgical valves. To our knowledge, data are lacking on the determinants on ViV-TAVI procedural success in patients with degenerated surgical valves.
Methods: All consecutive patients undergoing ViV-TAVI for degenerated surgical valves at the Cleveland Clinic were analyzed. Data were extracted from our patient registry on baseline patient characteristics, echocardiographic parameters, and procedural details. To identify possible predictors of ViV-TAVI procedural success, we employed a multivariate logistic regression model.
Results: A total of 186 patients who underwent ViV-TAVI were analyzed, with procedural success (VARC-2 device success and absence of periprocedural MACCE) reported in 165 (88.7%) patients. Patients with successful ViV-TAVI were significantly younger and had more frequent utilization of the transfemoral access than those with failed procedure. Other baseline and procedural characteristics were comparable between both groups. In terms of echocardiographic parameters, the procedural success group had a significantly lower AV peak pressure gradient (62.1 ± 24.7 vs. 74.1 ± 34.6 mmHg; p = 0.04) and lower incidence of moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation [AR] (30.4 vs. 55%; p = 0.04). However, no significant differences between both groups were noted in terms of AV mean pressure gradient and left ventricular measurements. In multivariate analysis, lower AV peak pressure gradient (OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.95–0.99) and absence of moderate-to-severe AR (OR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.44–0.95) at baseline emerged as independent predictors of ViV-TAVI procedural success.
Conclusion: Valve-in-Valve TAVI for degenerated surgical valves is a feasible approach with high success rates, especially in those with lower AV peak pressure gradient and absence of moderate-to-severe AR. Studies with larger sample size and longer follow-up are required to further characterize the predictors of ViV-TAVI success and other clinical outcomes.

Last week, I had the great pleasure to fly to Toronto, OT Canada, and spend 2 days or 12 hours in an ADR Studio at Technicolor, recording the audio version of AMAZING GRACIE. Which will be out soon on Amazon and Audible.
The amazing actress and my dear friend, Sara Botsford, did the reading and the recording. Sara’s extraordinary talent not only brought the written words to life giving each character a unique voice, but made the incredible story more meaning. Although I wrote my grandmother's story, hearing it spoken so beautifully gave the book a life of its own. At times, it was very emotional for me, as it bought my grandmother back to life as well, revitalizing the amazing times and memories I had with Gracie, my Grandma. It was a thrill that I will never forget, and I will be eternally grateful to Sara for giving up so much of her time in the studio.
I'd like to also thank, Marian Botsford Fraser, Sara's sister, also a published author, who assisted us in getting the dialogue and character voices flawless and consistent throughout the reading.
We are still in editing mode, so it may be a few months until it launches, but as soon as it comes out, I'll let you all know. And, even if you have already read the printed versions, I can truly say, that you will find the audio version even more incredible and more captivating.
My journey into writing AMAZING GRACIE was very much like fitting the pieces of a puzzle together to finally reveal the hidden truth. A stunning portrait of a young girl who survives the shocking destruction of her poor-yet-loving family, and rises to become a woman of strength, courage, tenacity.

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Stephen Thompson Jr. was automatic from deep, with mid-range floaters and on lay-ins. After eight makes in a row, a shot bounced away, but with the game well in hand, his teammates took the opportunity to tease him.
“Some people came up and said, ‘Finally missed one,”‘ Thompson said.
Thompson scored 25 points, with five 3-pointers, and set a program record with 187 career 3-pointers as Oregon State defeated Missouri State 101-77 on Saturday.
Ethan Thompson added 22 points, with five 3-pointers, nine rebounds, five assists and three steals, while Tres Tinkle had 24 points, six rebounds and five assists for the Beavers (6-1).
“I’m just thrilled our guys found a way to get it going offensively,” Oregon State coach Wayne Tinkle said. He credited ball movement — the Beavers had 29 assists on 39 field goals. “Loved how our guys shared it,” he added.
Jarred Dixon had 31 points with six 3-pointers, and Tulio Da Silva added 21 points and seven rebounds for the Bears (3-5).
“They’re just bigger, stronger and faster than we are. Obviously, they shot the lights out,” Missouri State coach Dana Ford said.
Oregon State shot 61 per cent from the field, was 16 for 28 from behind the arc, and outrebounded Missouri State 32-27. The Beavers set a school record for 3-pointers made in the game.
“We’re all confident players and confident shooters, and every time we feel like we’re open and have a good look at the basket, we’re going to shoot it with confidence,” Stephen Thompson said.
The Beavers used the long ball and rim defence to take an early lead.
Thompson’s record-breaking 3-pointer, on an assist from his brother, came with 8:20 left in the first half and put the Beavers up 36-22. At that point, Oregon State had made 8 of 11 from behind the arc.
While the Bears had potent long-range shooting early, they shot 2 for 10 on layups in the first half.
Oregon State went to the break ahead 50-35.
The Beavers went on a 9-0 surge to start the second half, and a Tinkle steal and breakaway dunk put Oregon State up 59-35 with 17 minutes remaining.
Oregon State’s previous 3-point record holder was Ahmad Starks, who had 185 from 2011 to 2013.
Missouri State: Da Silva, a South Florida transfer, played just his third game with the Bears after being declared eligible by the NCAA on Nov. 21. He was coming off a 22-point game against Air Force.
Oregon State: Center Gligorije Rakocevic, aka “Big G,” is out for about a month with a stress fracture in his left foot, and Kylor Kelley, a junior college transfer, moved into the starting lineup. … Kelley came into Saturday averaging 3.2 blocks per game, good for fourth in the nation and tops in the Pac-12. He had four blocks on Saturday, along with two points and four rebounds. … Oregon State equaled its best start through seven games since the 1980-81 team opened 26-0.
BIG THREE EFFICIENCY
The Beavers’ trio of the Thompson brothers and Tinkle combined to shoot 28 for 40, or 70 per cent, on the night. Ethan Thompson missed only one shot, his last of the game with 3:16 left.
DA SILVA’S IMPACT
Ford said Missouri State knew that they would be getting a good player in Da Silva. “He’s helped us out tremendously. He’s a good kid, got a great motor, skilled offensively, inside and out. He’s a really strong rebounder. We anticipate him being an impact player,” Ford added.
Thompson said it was “special” to get the career 3-point record and to help set the team record. “It’s good to have those records and have them at home in a home game with all the fans watching,” he said.
Missouri State hosts Western Kentucky on Wednesday.
Oregon State plays at Saint Louis on Dec. 9.

Consulting Engineers South Africa (CESA) President Abe Thela announces that CEO Lefadi Makibinyane has unexpectedly resigned and is currently serving his notice until the end of January.
Mr Makibinyane stated that it was not an easy decision for him to make, but unfortunately after all considerations put before him, he found it to be the most optimal decision to make at this current moment in his professional career.
He thanked CESA for the opportunity and support it gave him over the past 18 months of his tenure, wishing CESA and the sector it represents all the luck going forward.
"CESA wants to acknowledge Mr Makibinyane's contribution to the organisation. We wish him well in his future endeavors, especially as the new CEO of Amatola Water," says Thela.


Following a brief beta testing period, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's traditional multiplayer mode, Metal Gear Online, is now officially available and ready for everyone to play on PC. Konami made the announcement today, January 19, in a post on the game's Steam page.
"We took in a lot of feedback and made a few key adjustments," a representative said. "After some initial hiccups we're going forward guns at the ready. However that doesn't mean we've stopped development, quite the contrary. Just like the previously released console versions of MGO, we'll be integrating new updates to the game to improve the experience and add content."
One of the "hiccups" mentioned above is likely a reference to a possible exploit that was discovered last week just hours after the Metal Gear Online beta started. According to reports, the exploit involved players being able to get free in-game currency.
Now that Metal Gear Online has officially launched, Konami is encouraging players to try it by offering everyone who plays at least one match between January 19 and January 26 a bonus of 3000 Gear Points. These can be spent on gear customization items.


It’s a time of year when many of us ponder securing that perfect job, or at the very least imagine getting out of an imperfect one.
But a growing number of Australians are acting on that urge with a surge in mature-age apprenticeships over the past few years.
One of those is 46-year-old Veronica Ford.
When the Brisbane mother of four’s youngest child started school, she decided it was time to get back into the workforce.
“Not working for 15 years puts you in a bit of a situation where you have to stack shelves and I was getting a bit too old to be doing that sort of stuff,” she said.
“I wanted something that was more permanent for when I got older, something more stable for me, because I knew it was going to be harder to get a job coming up to 50.”
She had always regretted not finishing the hairdressing apprenticeship she had started as a teenager, so she found an inner-Brisbane salon willing to take her on.
Ms Ford admitted to being apprehensive about being out of the workforce for so long.
“I am a little bit fearful at times whether I can do it or not, but I know I can – it’s just a matter of taking a deep breath,” Ms Ford said.
But her employer Peter Tigani said her age was an asset.
“Having an older apprentice is a blessing and a real win for me,” Mr Tigani said.
“Because she is more enthusiastic about coming back to complete her apprenticeship, she puts in more time and more effort.”
Mr Tigani also said he believed as a stay-at-home mum, Ms Ford brought skills to her work that younger apprentices just did not have.
“Being able to bring up four kids just shows as a human being she can do lots of things all the time and can keep control of a lot of things going on,” he said.
“So in the salon environment she’s all over everything.
“An adult apprentice – providing they’ve got the right mentality, the right capacity and open mind to learn – perfect.”
That is a sentiment being heard across a range of industries.
Statistics from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) show adults now make up a big proportion of all apprentices, with 28 per cent in the trades and 45 per cent in the non-trades, compared with 8 per cent and 22 per cent respectively, 20 years ago.
TAFE Queensland SkillsTech general manager John Tucker said he had seen that reflected on a state level too.
“Sixty per cent of our apprentices are over the age of 20 and if you go up to over 25, you’re looking at about a third of apprentices,” he said.
That trend applies across the board, but particularly in the construction, engineering, and automotive sectors.
Nathanial Bradford, 34, is halfway through a metal fabrication apprenticeship.
He said he was a bit of a jack of all trades, before deciding to knuckle down and choose a specialisation.
“Last one was forklift driving for 12 years when suddenly I realised I needed a career path,” he said.
“I found that I had a natural knack for engineering with metal fabrication so I thought I’d go for it.
“I just wanted to create things out of metal, wanted to be creative, a bit artistic, so I pursued it.”
He has not looked back, but admitted initially it was difficult to find an employer willing to employ him.
“To get into the industry is a bit hard as an adult apprentice – a lot of people are looking for juniors,” Mr Bradford said.
“But if you’ve got that tenacious nature about you and you persevere you can achieve it.”
He said as an older worker he brought experience to his apprenticeship and that was valuable to employers.
“[I bring a] bit of common sense, because if you work in a lot of different dangerous fields beforehand you understand what you should and shouldn’t do to keep yourself safe,” Mr Bradford said.
Even as an apprentice, he said he felt like he was a mentor to his younger colleagues.
“The younger fellas look up to you and take on board a little bit more what you say because it’s coming from an older person,” he said.
His TAFE teacher, Ronald Dyer, had seen a large increase in older apprentices coming through his workshop.
“I find it quite good because a lot of the times they come with skills already,” Mr Dyer said.
“It’s really about assessing the skill level where they’re at and then basically filling in the gaps with their training so they can save a bit of time on their training.”
Mr Dyer said he believed older trainees could be a valuable asset.
“What they bring is maturity, because of life experience they are often already disciplined as far as showing up at six or seven o’clock in the morning and working a full day, and those sorts of issues,” Mr Dyer said.
“Mostly the adult ones tend to be more respected than a younger guy that’s got to find his feet and get his respect in the workplace.
“Younger guys often don’t really know what they want when they’re 15, 16, 17-years-old, so they need to find out where they fit and what’s a passion for them.”
Scott McGuire, 38, said he would not have been ready to take on an apprenticeship straight after leaving high school.
“Definitely not, no. I was a little ratbag – I wasn’t ready to settle down into a trade just then,” Mr McGuire laughs.
But Mr McGuire is now, and is thriving after one year into his apprenticeship in mobile plant technology.
“I’ve always been passionate about engines and mechanical things, so it was just a natural progression to get paid to do what I like,” Mr McGuire said.
Previously working as a labourer in the gas fields, he initially struggled to get into his chosen field.
“I’ve chased it for years – it was more perseverance in getting someone to put me on as an adult apprentice,” Mr McGuire said.
He said he brought maturity to his job, not just in experience but in attitude.
“They know I’m going to turn up every day and not be hungover,” he said.
Mr Tigani also had advice for employers considering taking on a mature-aged trainee.
“Take a chance on an older apprentice because they do have a lot more to offer on a personal level,” Mr Tigani said.
“You’ve got to get the right one though – they’ve got to be enthusiastic about the prospect of learning.”
