LW: Doley, I reckon Kangaroo Flat should call in the sign painters today and change the slogan at Dower Park from "home of the Roos" to "home of the BFL thriller".
The Kangaroo Flat supporters are certainly getting value for money at their home games this year, with yet another Dower Park thriller on Saturday in the Bendigo Football League.
The Roos' two point win over Castlemaine follows earlier games at Dower Park this season where they beat Gisborne by one point and lost to Kyneton by three points and Golden Square by six points.
Saturday's win was crucial for the Roos as it now puts them a game clear inside the top five, but on the other hand, you've got to feel for Castlemaine - a club that has only won eight of its previous 85 games - to fall agonisingly short.
ND: The Roos and Pies fans were really jumpy in the final minutes of what was a great contest.
Castlemaine's been on the end of some big defeats this season. To fall just short of what would have been a third victory this season was a huge blow to the Magpies' players, coaches and fans.
The 'Maine will have gained confidence for their next battle of the Pies at Maryborough next round. Castlemaine did beat the Princes Park Pies earlier in the season.
LW: Talking to coach Shane Robertson on Saturday night, this loss really stung the Castlemaine players.
And that's exactly the sort of hurt Robertson was wanting from his players after his "line in the sand" comments to both the playing group and in the paper last week.
It looks like it was a much better effort from South Bendigo this week to stick with Golden Square for most of the day at the QEO.
Golden Square's inaccuracy of 11.22 must have kept the game closer than what it could have potentially been, but did I read that Clayton Anderson kicked two goals for the Bulldogs - including a goal of the year contender?
ND: For all these years Clayton has spent most of his time dominating in a back pocket.
His snapshot from near the boundary, and on the run in the pocket closest to the kiosk was incredible.
I watched this goal from the grandstand, Westy, not when I was ordering a hot dog at the kiosk.
There were a couple of great goals in this match.
Square's inaccuracy kept it much closer, but South Bendigo's intensity and skill level was at a much greater level.
South did not look like a team that had a 1-9 record going into Saturday's clash.
LW: It was back to earth with a thud for Maryborough down at Gardiner Reserve.
The Magpies competed well with Gisborne in the freezing conditions in the first half before the Bulldogs unleashed a brutal last hour when they kicked 16 goals to three to blow Maryborough away by 91 points.
That win keeps the Bulldogs two games clear inside the top three and on track for the double chance.
Elsewhere, Strathfieldsaye and Sandhurst both got the job done against Eaglehawk and Kyneton and can now look forward to the most-anticipated match of the season at the QEO this Saturday when they clash.
With the Dragons 11-0 and the Storm 10-1, what a game it promises to be. Surely, it won't be a whitewash again like round three when the undermanned Strathfieldsaye was thumped by 14 goals.
ND: Could be the grand final rehearsal on Saturday, although Golden Square and Gisborne will be doing all they can to be there fighting for the Bendigo Advertiser premiership cup in September.
Big match and should draw a big crowd.

Set amongst an amazing mountainous backdrop, Machu Picchu is indeed a sight to behold. Built in around 1450 and abandoned during the Spanish conquest, the estate was hidden from the outside world until its discovery by Hiram Bingham, an American historian in 1911.
Fast forward to 2015 and it is one of the biggest tourist attractions in South America and the most visited attraction in the whole of Peru.
What is amazing about Machu Picchu is that it sits so neatly in amongst its surroundings. It seems so serene, yet surreal, at the same time and certainly needs a few hours of exploration to appreciate.
Machu Picchu is open every day, all year-round, however peak season is generally somewhere between June and September, with July and August being the busiest. Note that the rainy season is from October to April however Machu Picchu is always a popular tourist destination regardless of the weather.
Please note that tickets to Machu Picchu must be booked in advance - they are not sold at the gate. Entry is also limited to 2,000 visitors a day, so once sold out, you have no choice but to wait until another day.
To get to Machu Picchu you have a variety of options.
Train from Ollantaytambo
You can catch a bus, collectivo (a minibus) or taxi from Cusco to Ollantaytambo and then one of the trains to Machu Picchu Pueblo (or Aguas Calientes), the town nearest to the site itself. This was our preferred method and we really enjoyed the scenic train ride along the Urubamba River both to and from the ruins. If you know your dates make sure to book a little way in advance as the trains can sell out during the busy season. The train takes approximately 2 hours to get to Machu Picchu Pueblo. Both Peru Rail (www.perurail.com) and Inka Rail (www.inkarail.com) service this line.
Train from Cusco
Peru Rail does offer the option of a train direct from Cusco in three classes: Expedition, Vistadome, Hiram Bingham all at varying prices. You can book online direct at www.perurail.com. This journey will take approximately three and a half hours.
If you choose to hike you have a number of options.
The Inca Trail is the most popular of hikes and takes a few days of your time. It must be booked through a reputative tour agency and the hike is limited to only 800 vistors per day. It often sells out months in advance although if it is sold out, dont panic as there are other hiking options.
This 5 day, 4 night hike is the second most popular trek to Machu Picchu. It connects Mollepata to Machu Picchu and will take you through snowcapped mountains and tropical rain forests. It is not currently limited in numbers like the Inca Trail.
These seem to range from 4-8 days and take you through the ruins of the same name. It is still rated from moderate to difficult in terms of fitness, so be prepared for some strenuous activity whichever trek you opt for.
The Lares trek takes 3-5 days and passes through the hot springs of Lares providing welcome respite. You also pass by many high altitude lakes and mountains ending near the ruins of Ollantaytambo where you will need to board the train for the final stretch.
If it is your intention to climb Huayna Picchu, you will need to book your ticket in advance as there is only a limited number of tickets available each day (400 at the time of publication). The views I am told are worth it but the climb is quite strenuous. If heights are not your strong point, then it is best you leave this one to those who like a bit more of an adreneline rush.
Machu Picchu Pueblo (Aguas Calientes)
The town of Machu Picchu Pueblo is only small however you can choose to visit the thermal springs located on the edge of town or visit the handicraft market. There are also plenty of accommodation and dining options ranging from the excellent to the dire, so read reviews accordingly.
Have you been to Machu Picchu?

Stevens Co. Board of Commissioners preview:
MORRIS, Minn. - The Stevens County Board of Commissioners will approve union contracts and consider a proposal to upgrade the county's document imaging system at their regular meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 9 a.m. at the Stevens County Courthouse.
Materials provided in advance of Tuesday's meeting don't offer any details on the union contracts, except that they are with the county's American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees unions. Human Resource Director Sue Schultz will be at the meeting to discuss the contracts, and discuss a new employee handbook, which is scheduled to be voted on.
IT Director Scott Busche will present the board with a proposal to upgrade the county's document imaging software to new software that includes features the county did not originally license but that will be helpful for larger departments.
In a memo to the board, Busche said to licensing the new features under the current software package would cost over $30,000. Instead, Busche suggests paying a one time, discounted conversion fee of about $4,300 to switch to new software.
Other items on Tuesday's agenda include amending the 2012 budget and discussing board protocol and public participation guidelines for the recently-instituted public comment period at the beginning of each board meeting.
A full copy of the agenda is attached to this story.

As agriculture and other land use activities expand in Africa, there is need for these activities, especially agriculture to grow in a manner sensitive to water bodies. This is particularly true in this age of the Anthropocene, when human activity has become the dominant driver of the natural environment.
To safeguard and preserve water quality for tomorrow’s Africa it becomes germane to stress that at this time of its historic evolution and economic transition e.g. the advent and intensity of land acquisition by water scarce countries from Asia to grow more food for its people.
In Africa about 300 million people lack access to adequate water supply and about 313 million people lack access to adequate sanitation. Hence in addition to having to replace existing infrastructure, it will be necessary to provide a water supply and sanitation to an additional 21 million people each year on average.
Also, statistics show that agricultural food production has not kept pace with population growth in Africa. The population of Africa in 2005 was estimated at about 905 million and is expected to grow to 1.115 billion by 2015; 1.345 billion by 2025 and 1.936 billion by 2050. As a result, the nutrition position of the region is now worse than it was 30 years ago.
According to African Regional Development Report (2006), the African economy grew by 3.7% between 2003 and 2005, yet 46.4% of the population (313 million people) lived on less than US$1 per day in 2001 and the absolute number of malnourished people in Africa has increased substantially from around 88million to over 200 million in 1999 to 2001.
In much of West Africa, the average food supply (2,430kcal/day/person) is below what is regarded as the optimum level (2,700kcal/day/person). An annual investment outlay of US$4.7 billion has been suggested as being required to achieve food security in Africa. But does such investment include food security measures that are sensitive to critical ecosystems?
Hitherto, in Africa, the average rate of application of NPK fertilizer is reported to be 13kg per hectare. Factors responsible for this have included cost and scarcity of the product when needed by farmers. The implication has been the heavy post harvest losses calculated at 50per cent for fruits and vegetables and 30 per cent for root crops and tubers.
Despite the low rate of application of chemical fertilizers, recorded loses ranges from 22kg of Nitrogen (N), 2.5kg of Phosphorus (P) and 15 kg of Potassium (k) per hectare per year through soil mismanagement and ignorance. This is equivalent to US$4 billion worth of fertilizer (at United States prices) and likely US$30 billion at African fertilizer prices (Sanchez 2002; Bationo et al., 1998).
But with the increasing presence of “alien farmers or agro-investors” the scenario of low level of chemical fertilizer application will likely increase but one challenge that could remain is whether the rate of loses would be better managed to reduce leach into ground waters or run off into streams and rivers.
In the United States of America, China and parts of Europe this is already an extant nightmare as many water bodies have become polluted by Nitrates and Phosphorus from agricultural lands. Though these countries may have the resources to treat their water but the enormous costs involved are scary, hence revealing the need for Africa to safeguard its future water supplies by developing a food security strategy that is most sensitive to the environment.
One such pathway is the ecological pathway of limiting the effects of eutrophication in Africa’s waters. This is already a major problem in most African Rivers including the Nile, the Niger as well as Lakes Victoria and many others; and should in effect be controlled at this early stage.
Though other sources of pollution exist, but eutrophication by agricultural nutrients can be perverse. It often give rise to accelerated rise of algae and higher forms of plant life which has consequently led to the undesirable disturbance to the balance of organisms present in and dependent on the water and its quality.
The threat to biodiversity of both the aquatic habitat and of other species in the food chain is obvious as the water often become too low in oxygen for some species to tolerate, especially the local fish species.
The change agent to this emerging scenario is a coterie of most cost-effective measures vital in reducing the load of phosphorus and nitrate coming from farm runoff, also known as nonpoint pollution. This includes providing advisory and technical services to farmers in Africa’s watersheds.
Therefore there is need to support farmers with services that are underpinned by the principles of ecosystem based management vital in managing agricultural land in a way that is sensitive to the ecological health of nearby freshwater ecosystem thereby mitigating pollution and achieving food security etc.
The aim should be improving the management of the freshwater resource by forging a more effective connection among people and nature. And this should relate directly to the integrity, vitality, and resilience of vital freshwater ecosystem structures.
This strategy should acknowledge that the key to ecosystem management is the goal of ecological sustainability – protecting and restoring critical ecological components so that future as well as current generations will have their needs met, in this case – food security and safe water supplies.

A government U-turn on post-Brexit health and safety checks for live animal and agricultural product imports has been slammed by vets and farm leaders.
Since Brexit on 31 January 2020, the government has pledged to impose checks on EU imports to match the rigorous inspections of UK goods entering Europe.
Despite the inspections causing delays and crippling costs for UK farming, import checks on European goods were delayed, initially for six months, until 1 July 2020.
This was due to concerns that checks here would disrupt food supplies, leading to shortages and a hike in food costs.
Furthermore, the border control posts (BCPs) needed to process import checks were not constructed or approved in time.
The government’s continuing fears over empty supermarket shelves and construction woes at ports meant inspections were put off twice more in 2021.
A revised deadline of 1 July 2022 was set, but last month Farmers Weekly obtained a government spreadsheet showing almost 90% of the BCPs were still not ready.
Some remained at the planning permission stage, others lacked funding or were awaiting approval checks before completion.
Although the government insisted the July date was possible at the time, Brexit opportunities minister Jacob Rees-Mogg has now announced a further 18-month delay.
It means British exporters face extra costly red tape, while EU farmers are still not required to pay for export health certificates or face physical checks on live animals at ports.
Restrictions on imports of chilled meats from the EU will also not come into force, making them relatively cheaper.
But Mr Rees-Mogg has also stated the original plans for an equal level of inspection and process would not be applied.
Instead, he said plans would be reviewed, redrawn and implemented in a new way, effectively scrapping a Brexit import policy.
The reversal has been met with disbelief and fierce criticism in equal measure. In a robust attack, the NFU said it was “astounded” at a decision that left UK farming at a competitive disadvantage, and exposed the country to disease.
NFU president Minette Batters said the move was a significant blow for British farm businesses already facing unprecedented rising costs.
“These checks are absolutely crucial to the nation’s biosecurity, animal health and food safety, and without them we leave ourselves at risk.
“For the introduction of these checks to have been delayed three times was bad enough, but to now have them essentially scrapped in favour of an unknown system is unacceptable.
“This is a question of fairness. Our producers have to meet stringent controls to export products, while being left at a continued competitive disadvantage to our EU competitors.”
Vets have also condemned the U-turn.
The British Veterinary Association (BVA) said it had repeatedly warned against a delay, which could have serious implications as the EU continues to battle with diseases such as African swine fever.
BVA senior vice-president James Russell said: “This move flies in the face of common sense.
“Diseases such as African swine fever have already had a catastrophic effect on agriculture and animal health in parts of Europe and elsewhere globally.”
Mr Russell added: “With the UK now being outside the EU’s integrated and highly responsive surveillance systems, we have repeatedly warned that delaying veterinary checks further could weaken vital lines of defence against future incursions.
“To remove the requirement for checks entirely appears deeply misguided.”

Q407 Deals DC Plans a 1.88% Setback: Callan
A Callan news release said that relative to the typical target-date 2030 fund, the average DC plan outperformed on the strength of its more conservative asset allocation. The index’s equity allocation – now at 70% – tends to be at the low end of the range for target-date 2030 funds, a comparison Callan said is instructive because the typical target date 2030 fund fits the participant age demographics of the typical DC plan.
However, when compared to a typical defined benefit plan, Callan said the typical DC plan underperformed by 118 basis points. “This is significant underperformance that is attributable not just to the fact that the performance of the average DC plan is measured net of fees, and the performance of the average DB plan is measured gross of fees,” Callan said in the news release.
For the full life of the index, the typical DC plan underperformed both the typical DB plan and the typical target-date 2030 fund.
Callan also reported that total turnover, a measure of monies shifting between asset classes either because of plan sponsor or participant activity, was 0.28%, down from the prior quarter’s turnover of 1.22%. In terms of where money flowed, real estate funds experienced the heaviest asset setbacks during the fourth quarter, with 10.94% of assets exiting real estate funds.
Stable value funds continued their persistent pattern of outflows (-1.88 in the fourth quarter). In contrast, Callan said, asset allocation funds experienced inflows of 5.19% during the quarter.
In fact, asset allocation funds now have an average of 13.9% of total average plan assets, up from the previous quarter’s mark of 13.6% of assets. Much of the growth is occurring within target-date funds. In the fourth-quarter, target-date funds comprised 62% of the asset allocation funds offered, versus 38% for target-risk funds.

If 2011’s The English Riviera was Metronomy’s ode to warm summers and new flirtations, Love Letters is their quaint and slightly aloof soundtrack to heartache and loneliness. Yet, underpinned by the subtle cheek of frontman Joseph Mount, Love Letters manages to create a brand of sad music you can dance to.
Mount’s standoffish and slightly fragile tone on his band’s fourth LP isn’t creative withdrawal, but the backbone of Love Letters‘ brutal honesty. “He’s got the most immaculate haircut, and with the right dye and shampoo maybe I could too”, he sings on The Most Immaculate Haircut, in that bittersweet half-serious/half-kidding tone he’s perfected with songs like A Thing For Me and The Look.
Yet Mount isn’t all tongue-in-cheek on album four, in fact the level of honesty and introspection on Love Letters becomes quite moving. There’s a frankness to Mount’s lyrics, despite all the warm retro keyboards and references to ’60s soul and ’70s pop, which litter I’m Aquarius, with its shoop-doop-doop-ahs, as well as the album’s bouncy Motown-esque title track.
Watch: Metronomy – Love Letters
“We all need company”, Mount posits on Call Me. “Promise that you’ll follow me, I couldn’t stand to be alone”, he pleads on Monstrous. “Never wanted, never needed”, he laments behind a plucked guitar on Never Wanted. The melodic hooks on Love Letters might not be Metronomy’s strongest, but Mount’s lyrics have now reached an inviting and emotive peak.
Recorded in an all analog studio in Hackney, London, Love Letters also highlights the stylistic nuances and myriad of pre-Y2K influences which have made Metronomy one of indie pop’s more unique groups. Instrumental cut Boy Racers is a funky pastiche of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, the watery synths of Kraftwerk, the krautrock precision of Neu! and the bounce of The B-52s. Intertwined guitar melodies and distant background vocals give Month of Sundays a psych-rock feel, whilst I’m Aquarius revives some gorgeous old synths behind a crisp drum machine.
Love Letters moves at a slower pace than Metronomy’s bedroom-glitch debut Pip Paine (Pay the £5000 You Owe), their 2008 looping dance-rocker Nights Out, and its more refined alt-pop sibling, The English Riviera. It requests greater concentration from listeners so that Mount can delve a little deeper into questions of love, loss, time, and expectation. It’s also the coldest of Metronomy’s albums to date, but also the one which best highlights Mount’s cheeky and introverted pop escapism.
Watch: Metronomy – I’m Aquarius
Metronomy’s fourth studio album, ‘Love Letters’, is out this Friday, 7th March.

The book of love has music in it, in fact that's where music comes from. Some of it is just transcendental and some of it is just really dumb. But I love it when you sing to me and you can sing me anything. The book of love is really boring and it was written very long ago. It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes and things we're all too young to know. But I love it when you read to me, you can read me anything. - Peter Gabriel
It's that time again for heart shaped boxes and little chocolates in a row. And in our pursuit for all this romantic and touching I think we tend to overlook the love that is so close to us - the love of our family, the love of our friends, even the love of strangers.
Recently, I had another experience with an ebayer I didn't appreciate. And in trying to figure out a new direction for my business, when stepping into the uncomfortable, I had a total stranger reach out to me. She had just received one of my bracelets and called to see if I was alright. I can't begin to tell you how touching I find it when a stranger reaches out to me. My ees were full of tears as she went on and on about how much she loved her new little piece of art. You see, I made the whole thing with black and white beads and while moving beads from one end of my desk to another, I found this little black pig bead and added it just for a touch of whimsy. She had lost her pet pig recently and was just burdened with life's sadness and she found it as some cosmic signal that I was reaching out to her. I had to say to myself, "Carrie, there are no accidents." She comforted my heart, this fellow seeker of beauty and the sweetness of her soul is something I have carried with me since.
A few weeks ago I had almost had enough of my son. He's a man child and full of energy that exhausts me. I was working at my desk into the evening, string along some beads and the phone rings and its my friend Craig. We don't spend much time together, we mostly check in with eachother and even when I saw his name appear on the caller ID I had this heart pang about not spending more time with him. He listened, shared his common sense calm wisdom and then entertained me while I finished my current project. I slept feeling loved.
We have been hit with snow snow and more snow this year. I hate snow. I hate the feeling of feeling uneasy about the weather and how it will affect how I move in the earth. The snow started to fall on a Saturday morning a week or two before Christmas. My son shoveled and then headed over the market to bring home some of the strangest mix of food. He lugged home cans of beets, some ribs, boxes of cereal and diet root beer. When he came home he announced that we were in for the evening and it was going to be him and I. I cooked for us, I made pots of tea and we pushed the sofa in front of the bay window to watch the snow snarling around as we watched bad tv and played dominos. His company was so wonderful, our conversation at one moment full of chatter and the next just calm content that we weren't out in the cold. We wrapped presents, talked and laughed. I won't forget for a long time how comforting the evening was and when I want to choke him and his never ending energy for everything insane I will think back to that magical Saturday.
And tonight my Best Friend Called. Yesterday I was a little overwhelmed with a new project and when she called I was just blue, fighting off the blues and believe me they were creeping in. I made an excuse, hung up quickly and thought putting my nose to the grindstone was the answer. Tonight, she called. I knew she would. "Feeling better today honey?" I am so loved. I thought for a brief moment.."Who deserves this kind of love?" Then I knew I did. I knew that we had this friendship forged in love and excitement, and hard work. The hard work never seems like work when I know she's looking over my shoulder, my biggest, loudest cheerleader. She told me she'd be here visiting in a few days and that was enough to get me through the evening, knowing soon she'd be on my sofa, our feet up, drinking tea and laughing about anything that gives us a tickle. She will tell me to get rid of the litte kitten, to plan on moving to DC, to stop letting life's details burden me. We will help our family celebrate the wedding of the season, shopping, having lunch, picking out dresses and all will be well with the world again. We will be in a crowd as we have been a million times and we will both find something funny that nobody else would understand and just one look will bring us to chuckling laughter. I know her and she knows me and she loves me any way. What more is there?
Love is around us all the time. It's found in the sweetness of smile, a nod from a stranger when I offer them a ride from the bus stop. I find love in the herb garden I grew this summer, in watching my son struggle through his Spanish Class. Love sits on your shoulder waiting for you to notice it. Love never ends, it's the only constant. Love's loss can shatter a life, break a heart into a thousand tiny pieces that scatter, heal and find their way back to wait to be broken all over again. Love always wins and always conquers evil. Love's hope comes in little heart shaped boxes where we store treasures nobody could begin to understand. When I am at an estate sale and I find a little trinket box that looks very worn and loved, I stop to wonder who stored a treasure here and who gave the woman this little box, a lover, a child, a Best Friend. I have a little carved wooden cat that I treasure, a tiny blue pen I hold near my heart, a glass vase from the first flowers my son ever sent me, and of course a tiny book with 40 reasons Suzy loves me. (She gave it to me for m 40th birthday.) And in the bottom of the little box on my desk where I work every day is a little altered art book made from canvas sent to me by one of the first people who ever purchased my art on Ebay. Mel, I miss you and will write soon.
Create something in this season of love. Create art, and live. Create our own book of love.

Students from all genres and methods of training have something extra special to look forward to this summer: the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Australia’s annual summer dance programme, Dance Fest 23!
The five-day workshop, to be held 9 – 13 January 2023, at Adelaide’s AC Arts, will include classes in ballet, contemporary, hip hop, jazz and tap, and is open to dancers aged seven to adult.
“Rebranded in 2021, Dance Fest 23 is an all-inclusive summer workshop to get those bodies ready for your classes in 2023!” says Lia Cox, RAD regional manager SA, WA and NT. “We have collated the absolute best faculty, both locally and interstate, who regularly work with young dancers to help them achieve their best, learn new skills and, most importantly, have fun!”
That all-star faculty includes Melissa McCabe (classical and repertoire), Daniel Jaber (contemporary), David Placentino (hip hop), Rosanna Dobré (tap), Maddie McArthur (jazz) and Jayson Smart (lyrical).
“The RAD prides itself in the network of incredible faculty and tutors we have on our roster,” Cox explains. “I have great relationships with our 2023 faculty, and look for a team that are experienced in teaching and mentoring young people, who will foster their development with creative technical skills, as well as making it an enjoyable experience. Remembering this is a fun summer school – an opportunity to try new styles, with new teachers and learn new skills! So our super experienced faculty are the perfect team.”
Cox and the RAD team have taken a lot of care to develop streams to give dancers the best opportunity to learn by age and ability. Students at Dance Fest are placed in coloured groups: Green (ages seven to nine), Purple (ages 10-12), Red (intermediate group for ages 13-14) and Blue (advanced level for ages 15 and up).
In addition, Dance Fest offers dancers the chance to explore multiple genres or to stick to one track. Dancers can choose to select a One Day pass for all genres or just select One Genre and attend that style class each day. Or dancers can select the Full Week for all genres or a Full Week Classical Stream.
“In this day, being a versatile dancer is so important, especially for those who wish to make a career out of it,” Cox says. “So, Dance Fest gives dancers a taste of each major genre. Who knows? It might spark a new love for tap you didn’t know you had!”
Classes will be a combination of technique plus choreography, another important element of training for those aspiring to be professionals. Classes will put together group pieces to showcase to the other levels on the final day of Dance Fest.
“In order to do the choreography, you need to know the technique, but a class full of technique isn’t always the most exciting, especially in your summer holidays,” Cox says. “So, we make sure dancers are learning, plus putting that learning into practice with some cool routines!”
This year’s Dance Fest is sure to inspire dancers and bring the community together. “I hope dancers not only learn new skills in genres and styles they may not have tried before, but also hone skills in genres they love and make new friends along the way. I’m really looking forward to seeing the happy, smiling faces of dancers again after the last two years of Covid have put a damper on previous events. Come along for a great five days of dance. Pick your adventure, whether it’s the full week, one day or one genre. You are going to love it!”
Dance Fest 23 will be held 9 – 13 January 2023 in Adelaide. For more information and to book now, visit au.royalacademyofdance.org/event/dance-fest-23-summer-workshop.

- Extended Regulatory Framework: The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has expanded the Payment Services Act to include more digital payment token (DPT) services such as custodial services, token transfers, and cross-border transactions, with regulations also covering activities beyond Singapore’s borders.
- Enhanced Requirements for DPT Providers: New amendments empower MAS to impose additional requirements on DPT service providers for anti-money laundering, countering terrorism financing, user protection, and financial stability, with a phased implementation starting April 4.
- License Compliance and Customer Protection: Affected entities must notify MAS within 30 days and apply for a license within six months. The regulations also include customer asset safeguards like segregating assets and maintaining secure records, with several leading crypto companies already licensed under the new framework.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has recently made an announcement indicating significant changes to the country’s Payment Services Act (PS Act), aimed at extending the regulatory framework to encompass a wider range of services related to digital payment token (DPT) service providers.
These amendments are set to commence in phases from April 4, with MAS providing transitional arrangements for entities impacted by the changes.
The amendments specifically target the inclusion of activities such as custodial services for DPTs, facilitation of token transfers and exchanges, and the facilitation of cross-border monetary transactions within the regulatory scope of the PS Act.
MAS emphasizes that these regulations will apply even in instances where the service provider does not physically handle the funds or the transactions do not occur within Singapore’s borders.
A crucial aspect of these updates is the empowerment of MAS to introduce additional requirements for DPT service providers, particularly concerning anti-money laundering (AML), countering the financing of terrorism (CFT), user protection, and financial stability.
The phased implementation of these amendments begins on April 4, with MAS offering transitional arrangements to affected entities.
These entities are required to notify MAS within a 30-day period following April 4 and must apply for a license within six months if they wish to continue their operations during the review process.
MAS has also issued a stern warning to entities that fail to comply with the new requirements, stating that non-compliant companies will be compelled to cease operations once the amendments are enacted.
Furthermore, the amendments will introduce regulations aimed at safeguarding customer assets for payment token service providers.
These include measures such as segregating customer assets, placing them in trust accounts, maintaining accurate books and records, and ensuring the security of customer assets.
The enactment of these protective measures is scheduled six months post-April 4.
In the backdrop of these regulatory updates, several crypto companies have been proactive in securing licenses to operate within the Singaporean market.
Notably, prominent organizations such as Crypto.com, Coinbase, and Ripple have successfully obtained complete payment institution licenses.
Crypto.com was granted its Major Payment Institution (MPI) license in June 2023, Ripple received formal approval on October 4, and Coinbase acquired its full MPI license on October 2, 2023.
This development underscores Singapore’s commitment to establishing a robust regulatory framework for the crypto and blockchain industry, enhancing both user protection and financial stability within the sector.

A $1.1 million road project on King Street in St. Augustine will begin next week, causing some lane closures at the King Street and U.S. 1 intersection.
On Monday, the Florida Department of Transportation will begin its project that includes realigning three of the four lanes at the U.S. 1 and King Street intersection. The traffic signal will also be replaced and the sidewalks will be reconstructed.
FDOT will also install a new traffic signal at the intersection of King Street, Malaga Street and Sebastian Harbor Drive to reduce crashes and delays. To make way for the construction, the Shell gas station sign and planter will be removed.
And at both intersections the pedestrian signals will be replaced with new crossing-time countdown display signals and drainage pipes, and wheelchair-accessible ramps will be added to the sidewalks.
Work is expected to begin with daytime and nighttime lane closures at the King Street and U.S. 1 intersection. The turn lanes at each corner of the intersection will be closed one at a time as construction begins at that corner. During construction at the southeast corner of the intersection, eastbound King Street traffic turning south onto U.S. 1 will be detoured south on Pellicer Lane -- which becomes South Dixie Highway -- east on State Road 207 and back to U.S. 1, a distance of about one mile. The detour will only be in place when there is work on the right turn lane that affects traffic turning south from King Street onto U.S. 1.
Construction at the King Street and Malaga Street/Sebastian Harbor Drive intersection will begin once the King Street and U.S. 1 intersection is complete. During this construction, King Street traffic will shift in both directions, with the center lane used as the travel lane at times.
J.B. Coxwell Contracting Inc. of Jacksonville will construct the project. Roughly 44,000 vehicles per day travel through at the intersection of U.S. 1 and King Street.

There are many cosmetic procedures that are accessible to patients who need to surgically reposition the facial tissues that have loosened as one ages. One of them is the Vampire Facelift which uses infusions of the patient's own blood through an element known as Selphyl.
The Vampire Facelift, or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), includes extracting spoons of a patient's blood from their arm and spinning it in a rotator to isolate the plasma - the liquid part - from the red and white platelets.
The concentrated plasma, which is rich in platelets, is then infused into the face. A few experts pump it with dermal fillers to further lift up the loosened zones, for example, under the eye. The procedure is as follows:
Blood from the arm is extracted, which is then spun in a rotator to isolate the platelets.
The platelets are then re-infused into the skin with a fine needle and just infused into the areas that need be lifted or rejuvenated.
These infusions include a little fat as well, to make a smooth, rounder and plumper appearance.
During the Vampire facelift procedure, Hyaluronic corrosive (HA) fillers are utilised which help in lifting the skin from the bone to give your skin a decent shape with a younger look.
Again this HA filler would pursue the wrinkle that is connected with your face and make an alternate shape of the face which might look different from the original one.
Some of the advantages of this facelift are:
Change in skin surface and tone.
Reclamation of facial shape.
Growing new and younger tissues.
Superior option to neurotoxin (Botox) and different infusions.
Infusion of the blood causes no bruising, as it is a thin, watery liquid.
No allergy testing is required as the substance is the individual's blood.
However, there are certain disadvantages as well. These are as follows:
Most plastic surgeons do not believe in the efficacy of this procedure.
Uncertainty whether Selphyl has been FDA approved for facial revival.
There will be some redness in the rejuvenated area.
The Vampire Facelift takes a few weeks to bring about results.
The disadvantage with HA fillers is the way it will make your eyes hurt.
The infusions are not just used to smoothen the wrinkles on the face. It can likewise be utilised on different parts and areas of the body with diminished volume or wrinkles. The technology that is behind the Vampire Facelift is not new. Doctors have been utilising one's own plasma to help other procedures like bone mending after spinal wounds and to recover delicate tissues after plastic surgery for a long time. Like any sort of medicinal technique, it is important to conduct appropriate research to check whether it is ideal and suitable for your body and skin type. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a dermatologist and ask a free question.

Many people choose to utilize essential oils for asthma, as they can reduce respiratory inflammation and prevent a severe reaction to the triggers from asthma. By definition, asthma is the chronic inflammation of the airway, typically caused by certain triggers in the environment, or through physical activity. An asthma attack is basically an allergic reaction, in which the immune system overreacts to a trigger, sending a rush of blood and histamines to the respiratory tracts. This can cause a release of mucus in the airways and swelling of the respiratory tracts, making it difficult to breathe. When combined with the inflammation of the tissues, this can cause spasms in the respiratory system, causing wheezing and coughing.
Some of the most common triggers for asthma include cigarette smoke, animal dander, changes in weather, physical exertion, respiratory infections, sulfides in certain foods and beverages, perfumes, environmental pollutants and chemical irritants. With such a wide range of potential triggers, asthma is an unpredictable and dangerous condition. Some asthmatic attacks can be fatal if rapid treatment (via an inhaler or essential oil) is not administered. Some people develop asthma as they get older, while others are genetically predisposed and suffer from this condition from childhood. Due to the potential risks of asthma attacks, pharmaceutical treatments of asthma are highly recommended by doctors, but essential oils for asthma, particularly in mild cases, can be very effective.
List of best essential oils for asthma:
Some of the most useful essential oils for asthma include chamomile, clove, peppermint, lavender, eucalyptus, oregano, thyme, frankincense and tea tree oils.
1. Thyme oil
With its immune-boosting properties, as well as its expectorant and antibacterial abilities, thyme oil is ideal for asthma sufferers, as it can clear out the excess mucus in the respiratory tracts and eliminate infections that can exacerbate asthma symptoms.
How to use – this essential oil can be added to a steam inhalation treatment, or mixed with other aromatic compounds or carrier oils and applied to the chest, where it can be inhaled throughout the night for clear breathing in the morning.
2. Lavender oil
There are certain sedative and anti-inflammatory properties of lavender oil that make it ideal for treating asthma. It can reduce swelling in the respiratory tracts and soothe muscle contractions, preventing the bronchospasms that can cause wheezing.
How to use – you can add lavender oil to a warm bath and inhale deeply from the aromatic fumes, or mix lavender oil with jojoba oil and apply it to the chest as a vapor rub. After 20-30 minutes, you can wipe your chest clean, as the smell can be quite potent.
￼3. Eucalyptus oil
One of the active ingredients in eucalyptus oil, eucalyptol, is a known expectorant that can also break up excess mucus in the respiratory tracts, making it easier to breathe, while also soothing ;inflammation in the throat and breathing passages.
How to use – add 4-5 drops of eucalyptus oil to a pot of steaming water, cover your head with a towel, and breathe deeply so the microparticles of the oil can do their essential work in your respiratory tracts.
4. Oregano oil
Asthma symptoms are often compounded or exacerbated by respiratory infections and a weak immune system; oregano oil is packed with antibacterial and antiviral compounds that can boost your respiratory health and make your immune system less susceptible to overreactions in the form of asthmatic attacks.
How to use – do not use this oil in an inhaler or room diffuser, as it can cause breathing difficulties. However, when rubbed on the chest, neck or throat, it can absorb into the skin and provide relief.
5. Tea tree oil
When an irritant or asthma trigger enters the body, it stimulates an immune system response in the form of excess mucus production and inflamed airways. Tea tree oil can directly counter this response by the body and prevent a serious asthma episode.
How to use – due to the potency of tea tree oil, it should only be inhaled, rather than topically applied. Add 5-6 drops to a pot of steaming water, cover your head with a towel and breathe deeply for rapid, soothing relief.
6. Frankincense oil
This is one of the best essential oils for asthma, as it can not only reduce inflammation in the airways, but also prevent allergic reactions by the body. It will cut through mucus and relieve tightness in the chest, promoting normal, healthy breathing, even in the midst of an asthma attack.
How to use – many people choose to diffuse frankincense oil into the air for all-day relief from respiratory conditions, although applying a diluted version of this oil (with coconut oil) to your chest at night can help you breathe normally all night for uninterrupted sleep.
7. Clove oil
The anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties of this popular essential oil make it the perfect choice for asthma patients; it can prevent the respiratory tracts from seizing up when an allergen is detected, while also easing muscle tension in the throat so breathing can continue without interruption.
How to use – clove oil has a wonderful aroma, making it a popular choice in room diffusers, as well as steam inhalation treatments. Some people choose to mix it with a carrier oil (such as almond or olive oil) and use it as a chest rub. However, sensitivity to this oil is quite high, so never place the undiluted oil on the skin.
8. Peppermint oil
Armed with decongestant, anti-spasmodic, soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, peppermint oil is an excellent remedy for asthma sufferers, even during an asthma attack. It can open the breathing passages and prevent an asthma attack from becoming more severe.
How to use – you can topically use peppermint oil on your chest to promote good respiratory health, or add a few drops of this oil in a steaming pot for an inhalation treatment. Adding 10 drops to a warm bath and inhaling deeply as you soak is also a good approach for asthma.
9. Chamomile oil
This legendary anti-inflammatory oil is able to soothe respiratory inflammation and support the immune system, making it less likely to overreact to potential triggers. It can also function as an expectorant to eliminate excess mucus from the throat and lungs, making asthma attacks less severe.
How to use – you can add a few drops of chamomile oil to a cup of chamomile tea for a direct treatment of the respiratory tracts, although you can also inhale this oil during a steam inhalation treatment to help you keep your breathing clear all day.
A word of warning
The inhalation or application of essential oils for asthma can be extremely effective, but there are a number of risks associated with essential oil use. Allergic reactions can be common, along with skin inflammation and gastrointestinal distress (when consumed). Furthermore, some essential oils are slower acting than others, so in the midst of an asthma attack, they may not provide the instantaneous relief that is necessary. If you are an asthma sufferer, it is critical that you speak to your doctor about the severity of your condition and the potential risks of using essential oils for asthma. Severe cases of asthma can result in impaired or completely blocked respiratory function, so great care should be taken when treating this potentially fatal form of inflammation.

6 dietary dos and don'ts for pregnancy
Pregnancy is an important time in a woman's life. During this period, you need to be most conscious of what to eat, do and how to change everyday habits. Following these dos and don'ts will ensure a smooth pregnancy experience for you.
1. Take your prenatal vitamin
If you have not yet started taking a prenatal vitamin, now is the time to start. It's particularly critical to get enough folic acid while trying to conceive importantly during the first trimester. It greatly reduces your baby's risk of developing neural tube birth defects such as spina bifida.
2. If you smoke, quit
Smoking increases your risk of developing several problems including miscarriages, placental and preterm birth problems. It slows the fetal growth and increases the risk of stillbirth and infant death. It's never too late to quit or cut back smoking. Every cigarette you don't light gives your baby a much better chance of being healthy.
3. Do eat seafood
Seafood is loaded with vitamins and minerals. Consume a variety of seafood so you don't have a concentration of minerals from only one type of fish. But remember to not eat more than 12 ounces of fish per 7 days.
1. Don't drink alcohol
Alcohol may immensely impact your baby's development. Women who drink alcohol while pregnant could easily deliver a baby with fetal alcohol syndrome (fas). Symptoms of fas are usually low birth weight, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and lagging patterns in terms of growth and development milestones. Limiting or avoiding alcohol is a step that you need to take.
2. Don't eat raw meat at all
Raw and undercooked meat or eggs carries the risk of food-borne diseases as well as food poisoning incidence. Make sure all eggs and meat that you eat while you are pregnant are cooked well.
3. Don't drink lot of caffeine
Caffeine easily travels through the placenta and increases your baby's heart beats. Research shows that women can safely consume a cup or two of coffee every day, but avoid downing a triple shot strong latte while you have got a bun in the oven.

Man gets over 15 years for raping daughter
A Colombian man was sentenced to more than 15 years in jail for raping his daughter for 30 years and fathering seven children with her, media reports said.world Updated: Oct 03, 2009 12:02 IST
A Colombian man was sentenced to more than 15 years in jail for raping his daughter for 30 years and fathering seven children with her, media reports said.
Arcadio Alvarez Quintero was sentenced to 15 years and seven months in jail by a judge in Fresno in southern Tolima province for incest and rape.
Alvarez, a resident of Mariquita, some 200 km from Bogota, was arrested in March after a complaint was filed against him by his daughter Alba Nidia, who fled her family home after 30 years of sexual abuse and 14 pregnancies.
Investigators found that the abuse and humiliation began after Alvarez's wife died, when Alba Nidia was barely five years old, reports said Friday.
This case has been compared with that of the Austrian Josef Fritzl, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for sexually abusing his daughter in a basement for 24 years. He fathered seven children with her.
In the final hearing of the case, Alvarez pleaded guilty and apologised to his daughter and the children he fathered with her.

Natalie Portman at the Vanity Fair 2010 Academy Awards party: The Hairstyle
For a second year in a row, red-carpet darling Natalie Portman has tapped celebrity stylist and Nexxus Creative Director Kevin Mancuso to create her award season hairstyles. Last night, Kevin gave Natalie Portman a flawless updo for the exclusive and star-studded Vanity Fair party.
“I really wanted to give her a Bridget Bardot meets Audrey Hepburn style,” said Mancuso, “there’s nothing like an old Hollywood style for a young Hollywood actress!”
How to get Natalie Portman’s Vanity Fair 2010 Academy Awards party hairdo:
Kevin Mancuso – who brought you the celebrity hair bible, The Mane Thing, and worked on such a-list names as Sienna Miller, Blake Lively, Naomi Watts and Taylor Swift – offers his tips for recreating Natalie’s red carpet style at home:
· Shampoo and condition hair with body building products, such as Nexxus Diametress and Sublime Volume, to help give hair lift.
· Apply a volumizing spray gel, like Nexxus Lavish Body, from roots to ends, then blow-dry with a paddle brush, directing hair up and away from face and lifting at the root.
· When roots are almost dry, switch to a round brush and blow-dry ends, smoothing as you go.
· While hair is still warm, transfer one-inch sections to Velcro rollers and let completely cool, then remove and tousle hair with a bit of smoothing lotion, such as Nexxus Sleek Finish.
· Remove a one-inch front section of hair and then pull the rest gently back into a mid-level ponytail, securing with an elastic.
· Use bobbi pins to artfully sculpt loose ends into a soft updo.
· Use a flat iron to smooth front curl and help position hair around face, then finish look with a light misting of a hairspray, like Nexxus Comb Thru.

Reconciliation after violence and marginalization
After international war, the warring nations can settle for some form of peace and go their separate ways. After civil war, the enemies of the past must share a common geographical territory, government and national identity. Civil war leaves behind a fracture national identity and a heavy burden of distrust. Rebuilding relationships and national identity poses a greater burden than material reconstruction of the nation.

Teachers and principals to return to work today, says union alliance
a year ago
State they will only conduct lessons, not engage in extra activities like workshops
By Buddhika SamaraweeraTeachers and principals who have been engaged in trade union action for more than 100 days demanding a solution to the teacher-principal salary anomaly issue, are due to report back to schools from today (25), according to the Teachers’ and Principals’ Trade Union Alliance (TPTUA).The Education Ministry announced last Friday (22) that the primary grades of all schools closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic situation would be reopened today.Accordingly, the TPTUA announced yesterday (24) that it would end the trade union action to withdraw from teaching activities and resume teaching activities in schools from today. However, they stated that they would not be engaged in any other duties besides teaching.The TPTUA has also planned to hold a series of protests today demanding a solution to the teacher-principal salary anomaly issue and the main protest is to be held in front of the Colombo Fort Railway Station.They further alleged that students and teachers who have to travel to distant schools have been severely inconvenienced due to the sudden decision of the Education Ministry to reopen schools in a background where inter-provincial travel restrictions remain in effect.Speaking at a media briefing, Ceylon Teachers’ Union (CTU) General Secretary Joseph Stalin said that the Education Ministry should immediately intervene and formulate a programme for teachers and principals working in remote areas to travel to their respective schools. He stressed that if such a programme is not prepared, action should be taken to grant leave to such teachers and principals.He also said that from today, teachers would only be engaged in teaching and would not perform any extra duties such as cleaning schools, as well as organising certain meetings and workshops.“We have seen in the past few days that various politicians have been going to schools and cleaning schools. So now they have to continue cleaning schools; we are not participating in that,” he said.He also said that teachers and principals would refrain from using their personal mobile phones for teaching purposes in the future, adding that online teaching activities would be resumed only if teachers are provided the necessary facilities.Ceylon Teachers’ Service Union (CTSU) General Secretary Mahinda Jayasinghe also commented on the matter, stating: “As previously announced, we will report to work from today. We have seen various parties representing the Government say that the teachers’ struggle is over now and therefore there is no problem; but if anyone thinks that our struggle is over, it is a very wrong idea. Now only we are taking this struggle forward in a new dimension.”He also said that the TPTUA would not make any further requests from the Government or the Education Ministry to discuss their issues, as done in the past, adding that they would only participate if invited by the Government.“Instead of requesting discussions, we will get into more strict trade union actions in the future,” he warned.Speaking further, Jayasinghe said that despite the decision of the Education Ministry to reopen schools today, no practical measures have been taken to activate public transport services for teachers and students to attend schools, and that teachers working in remote schools should be given leave until public transport services are resumed.When inquired about the matter, Education Ministry Secretary Prof. Kapila Perera stated that if there are teachers who are not unable to acquire transport facilities, they are able to report to work at the nearest school instead. However, he added that teachers have the ability to go to schools via buses that transport passengers engaged in essential services.When asked about school cleaning activities, he said: “School cleaning is being done as much as possible, especially with the participation of parents, so there will be no problem.”Nearly 30 teachers’ and principals’ trade unions have embarked on a number of trade union actions, including withdrawal from all physical and online teaching activities and examination-related duties, demanding a solution to the teacher-principal salary anomaly issue since 12 July 2021.However, the TPTUA last week decided to relax the trade union actions and resume teaching activities and return to examination-related duties from today. However, they have warned that they hope to launch a number of other trade union actions from time to time, such as protests, strikes, and parental awareness programmes, from today.

Since the update my Bluetooth speaker is causing chaos with my iPad. It’s showing as paired like normal but videos in my photo app won’t play. More annoying is that the whole iPad becomes super buggy—even on the Lock Screen with widgets not working as normal. As soon as I unpair the speaker everything is back to normal. The same speaker is working fine with my phone running ios17. I tried a different speaker and the same issues. Anyone any ideas?

Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez will receive on April 1 in Miami the Florida International University Medallion of Courage, which is awarded "to recognize individuals who pursue or defend a noble cause at a personal cost," the institution said.
"Yoani is an important voice in public discussions about Cuba's present and future," Cuban Research Institute Director Jorge Duany said.
Sanchez will give a lecture entitled "Can Technologies and Social Media Accelerate Cuba's Democratization?" at the Herbert and Nicole Wertheim Performing Arts Center, which will also be transmitted live on the Internet.
Duany added that "we are pleased to provide a forum for Sanchez to have an open and honest conversation with our faculty, students and members of the South Florida community."
That same day Sanchez will also receive the Presidential Medal granted by Miami Dade College in recognition of her championing human rights, and will have a "special conversation" with students and community leaders, which will be live-streamed from the institution's iconic Freedom Tower.
