My name is Amy Hodges and an Occupational Therapist and PhD candidate within School of Occupational Therapy, Social Work and Speech Pathology at Curtin University. My PhD project involves developing and evaluating a school based intervention to improve the school participation and connectedness (i.e. feelings of acceptance, inclusion etc.) of students with ASD in mainstream classrooms. The idea of the intervention is to help students increase their awareness and understanding of neuro-diversity (or difference); be able to recognise when someone needs help, accept others for their differences and take action to help and include others at school. I am currently looking for an illustrator to assist me with developing the resources for the classroom program. This would involve illustrations for a children’s book (targeted at Year 3 to 4 students, 8 to 10 years old) and 8 to 10 comic-strip style scenarios of the characters of the book in different situations at school. The illustrations would need to be relatively simple but engaging for the target audience with detail in the characters faces (as students will be asked what they might be thinking and feeling). Students will use these comic strips in different ways in each module – but the general gist, is that they have to problem solve different situations/ scenarios and practice skills of recognising, accepting and deciding on the action they’ll take to help others at school. I want to engage an illustrator ASAP - the illustrations need to be finished by mid to late 2019. I plan to pilot the intervention in schools in 2020. If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me on +61419383169 or [login to view URL]@curtin.edu.au.

Commentary: Is the LRDP Really that Bad? The Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) process has been very interesting to observe. What I have seen over the course of three years is the following: first the university started out somewhat unreasonably stating or perhaps acknowledging that they would not be able to accommodate all of the enrollment growth with on-campus housing, however, under pressure they quickly shifted their position and announced they would build 6200 beds (more than the projected enrollment growth even at that stage), then 8500, and now 9050. The city took two reasonable positions – first they agreed with activists that UC Davis needed to accommodate all new enrollment growth and half of the overall student population with on-campus housing. At the same time, they put their money where their mouth was and approved nearly 4000 beds in the city of Davis. Finally, we have the activists who have been critical of UC Davis from the start, who demanded more from the university and got more from the university. Instead of being met with thanks and support for their efforts, UC Davis has been criticized for not going far enough and has had their motives impugned. To some extent the criticism is warranted, as UC Davis has in the past promised to provide housing for larger populations than they ultimately have delivered upon. That has definitely led to a community credibility problem. However, the solution for that is to continue to vigilantly follow this issue over the course of 10 years. UC Davis cannot change their past right now. It is in this context that I read the lengthy comments by Greg Rowe. Let me say at the outset that I have always respected Greg Rowe for his expertise and his approach. But I don’t always agree with him. Here are a few responses to the points he makes. I understand his point, but we are talking about the difference between 50 percent and 48 percent. We also have to acknowledge that they are committing to go from 28 percent to 48 percent in a 10-year period. That is a big step forward. Moreover, the city is adding about 4500 beds of their own, which means we are looking at about 13,500 new beds over the next decade – at least. I think, given those numbers, we should not worry that much about the university coming 600 beds short of an artificial goal. This is a reasonable point. One of my concerns is that, while the university has committed to 5200 new beds in the short term, there is no plan laid out for the other 3800 beds. As I have written a number of times before, that would be where my focus comes down – making sure that UC Davis builds what they have committed to, rather than squeezing another 600 beds out of them. Mr. Rowe also notes that UC Davis, rather than building new high density housing, is building some newer slightly higher density housing – where a number of complexes are being torn down but only adding one story to them. There are benefits to this approach as well. One is that the doubling up – something that many have been asking for – will help reduce the high cost of on-campus housing. Another is that it will allow a more immediate increase in the number of housing. I do not want to get into micromanaging how UC Davis creates the new housing, but, as I have pointed out in the past, there is a real concern by students that simply adding housing on campus is going to make things less affordable rather than more. I am not clear on how he arrives at that conclusion. Moreover, it is not clear to me that the number of UC Davis students living off campus should be the most meaningful metric here anyway. To me, what we want are land use policies which provide sufficient housing for students, do so in an affordable way, and put housing close enough to campus to reduce the number of students commuting into town. UC Davis plans to add 9050 beds over the next 10 years. We have pointed out of course that 5200 of those are in the immediate works and it is far less from clear where the final 3800 are going to go. But if UC Davis follows through on their commitment, they are adding 9050 beds but only 5100 or so students over the same period. That means that UC Davis is adding about 80 percent more beds than students. That should reduce the number of students living off campus. But, as I said, I’m not convinced that students living off campus is the most meaningful measure. So, for good measure, in addition to 9050 students on campus, we are adding about 3000 students either next to campus at Nishi (2200) or across Richards at Lincoln40 (700-800). That means those students will mostly be walking, biking or, at the very worst, using the bus to get to campus rather than driving. To me that’s what we want. We want housing near campus that allows students to not drive to campus. That means we have 12,000 students over the next 10 years housed on or near campus. Even Sterling, which is a bit further out, should not produce much in the way of vehicle traffic onto campus. UC Davis is not suddenly going to become the builder of high density, low cost student housing. We can lament that fact for the next 10 years, but we know about what we are getting. What we need them to do is build enough capacity to alleviate the student housing crunch. This plan, for better and for worse, does that. I think that intermixing percentages and “artificial goals” in with numbers of beds is a linguistic artifice that takes our eyes off the reality. What we should be discussing are the number of students ( real people) who are not able to find housing either on campus or in the community. That is the number the university and city should be focused on. Tia – Between UCD and the city, we are adding a net 8000 beds (amount over the new enrollment). Is that enough? I don’t think we have precise enough metrics to answer for sure, but it seems like that’s a good start. As the rent in Davis continues to increase I predict that the number of “beds” in town will increase even without ANY new construction. Five years ago the average cost for a UCD student to rent a “bed” in their own room was about $600 and the majority of UCD kids renting apartments had their own bedrooms. At Cal is cost was more than double and the majority of kids shared a room. Today the average cost to rent a “room” in Davis is closer to $800 and more kids are doubling up, in Berkeley most “rooms” are renting for over $2K/month and all but the super rich are doubling up (my cousin and his three roommates are paying $4,200 to rent an 800sf 2br 1 ba apartment near the Cal campus). You got this right as well. Sacramento, a place for UCD to grow. Gosh I feel all chamber of commercie! You have this one right. That’s what’s going to happen. 1) What is the per year average enrollment increase in the LRDP? 2) How does that projected per year average enrollment increase compare to UCD’s actual average enrollment increase over the past 5 years? … and/or compare to UCD’s actual average enrollment increase over the past 10 years? 9,050 (if it happens) does indeed compare well to 5,100, but does it compare well to what is actually likely to happen? To answer that question one needs to go to UCD’s prior LRDP and compare the projected per year average enrollment increase in that LRDP to what actually happened. Moving forward, it is appropriate that UCD annually report on their performance, knowing they’ll be judged on that performance vis-vis their current representations/goals.

Reading Books With Dyslexia - 2 Suggestions For You. READ ON IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE WAYS TO HELP DYSLEXIC KIDS READ MORE. In the UK, if you ask people about what they think dyslexia is, they mostly will make some comment about dyslexia being a condition that affects reading and will probably leave it at that. Whilst there are some great organisations out there that are raising awareness about dyslexia, it is clear that strategies for helping dyslexic kids and young people to read books are not mainstream and so for parents of dyslexic kids this can pose a problem because not only does dyslexia affect reading ability, it also affects motivation to read. What complicates the issue is that no one dyslexic reader is identical in terms of their needs compared to another dyslexic reader. So as parents we need to be prepared to explore multiple ways in encouraging our children to engage with books. Thankfully over the past 10 years technology has advanced so much that we are able to explore different ways of enjoying stories even if it means that we access reading in not so conventional ways! A relatively new app on the App Store (Apple only) and one that can take a PDF and give you a quick way to support your reading with technology called text to speech. The video below shows a short demonstration of the app reading out the start of the well known book Gulliver's Travels. The SprintPDF app, reads out text whilst enabling the user to follow the text by changing the colour of the word being read out. It is a really simple app and provided your text is in PDF format you will have no problems being able to access the text. Find out more about the SprintPDF app by clicking here. You can also use SprintPlus to read out any PDF on any Windows tablet, download a copy today from www.sprintplus.co.uk . Another app that I have come across today is app from the dyslexic books publishing company, Barrington Stoke called Tints. Here is a video about the app. STV News coverage of the Tints app from Barrington Stoke from Barrington Stoke on Vimeo. Barrington Stoke was set up specifically to supply dyslexia friendly books and this app is a great way to assist reading by changing the way that the book looks on a tablet in terms of fonts, page colour etc. More information can be found at http://www.barringtonstoke.co.uk/tints/. So this was a quick post to suggest two ways to access a book when dyslexic which might engage young people and get them to read more books. I will add some more ideas to future posts.

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday said the state government has filed a suit in the Supreme Court seeking an injunction against Chhattisgarh over the construction of barrages on the upper catchment of Mahanadi river. “The state has filed an Original suit in the Supreme Court under Article 131 of the Constitution of India on December 2 seeking an injunction against Chhattisgarh from continuing with the construction of ongoing projects and from taking up future projects,” the Chief Minister informed the state Assembly. He said the unilateral planning and construction of projects by Chhattisgarh government ‘illegal’. He further said that the projects would spell socio-economic and ecological hazard to the state and its inhabitants. “We have claimed as part of our equitable share a minimum flow of 12.28 million acre feet of Mahanadi water at Hirakud dam as per the DPR of Hirakud project of 1947 and a further utilization of 3.67 million acre feet in the surplus flows,” said Patnaik. He said the state government would take all out efforts to protect the interest of the state in this regard. Notably, the state government last month (Nov 22) had filed a statutory complaint before the Centre under Section 3 of the Inter-State Water Disputes Act of 1956 for the constitution of Inter-State Tribunal to settle the water dispute between the two states.

For towing, what's more important, horsepower or torque? Commercial vehicles often use diesel engines because of their abundant torque. ­Most drivers know that torqu­e translates into low-end power, or the ability to accelerate the vehicle at low rpm levels. Torque moves the vehicle from a stop and helps it get up steep hills. As such, more torque is required to start a heavier vehicle than a lighter one. That's why torque is useful when towing -- torque is what allows you to pull heavy loads. When you see car ads on TV, they often discuss horsepower figures for performance and sports cars, while you're more likely to hear about torque in truck commercials [source: General Motors]. A vehicle's towing capacity refers to the amount of weight it can pull behind it. Modern trucks like the Dodge Ram 3500 can tow up to a whopping 16,000 pounds (7,257.5 kg) - more than twice the truck's weight, which is about 7,000 pounds (3,175.1 kg) [source: Edmunds.com]. That towing capacity is related to the truck engine's torque. Your vehicle's engine creates torque and uses it to turn the crankshaft, which is connected to the transmission. The transmission gears convert this torque so that the vehicle can move and tow cargo safely. If you tow often, you know to keep your vehicle in a lower gear than normal. For a five- or six-speed transmission, that means towing in fourth; on a four-speed, third gear usually does the trick. This is because there is more torque available in lower gears, which is why it's harder to accelerate from a stop or pass another car on the highway in the highest gear, no matter how much horsepower you have [source: Autotropolis]. Imagine towing a trailer up a steep hill. If you're in a truck like the aforementioned Ram, you've got a lot of weight behind you, so obviously you'll want to go slowly up the incline. As such, you'll be keeping your engine rpm low. Again, that's where torque comes in. Having lots of horsepower just won't help you when you need to tow an object at low rpm. For that, you need that low-end power that torque provides. You've heard a lot about torque, but what about horsepower? What role does it play in towing? We'll explore that in our next section. How can a 5,000-pound truck tow 10,000 pounds? Is it possible to increase the towing capacity of a truck? What happens to a truck if it tows more than its capacity?

The goal is to raise awareness and funds for those who struggle with addiction. I will be teaming with the Seraph Fund, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, to raise $20,000 to send one person to drug and alcohol treatment. Upon completing my 5th day of detox I was informed that my insurance would not cover inpatient treatment. I completely lost it, balling my eyes out and hyperventilating lost it. If I hadn’t been in a treatment center when I got that news, I know what my first reaction would have been. The same answer I had gone to for the last 15 years. I knew that it took everything within me to get to this point and if I left I wasn’t sure if I would ever get back. I didn’t want to leave, but had no idea how I would pay for it. The insurance company suggested out patient treatment. Which are classes a few days a week. Hiding my addition from everyone for as long as I had, I knew this wouldn’t work for me. I had tried some court order forms of this off and on for years, and it just didn’t worked for me. Through a loving family that never gave up on me, a treatment center who is in the business for the right reasons, I was in it for the long haul. Today, I am still paying off the cost of my treatment. It is the greatest investment that I could ever make, an investment in myself. My future. My life. If I had to have the money upfront it would have never happened and I don’t want to think where I would be today. 76,000 people die each year in the USA from drugs and alcohol. There are people out there dying every day from this disease that want help but have no idea how to get it. The thought if saving money in addiction as not even an option. I mean if you have an extra $100, that’s a good night or at least a good start to the night…or day.

Seeking to puncture claims that India’s economy has slipped to a new low, the government Thursday said the country has logged an average annual economic growth of 8 per cent during the 11th five-year-plan although the target was to achieve 9 per cent. The 11th Five Year Plan was in force from 2007 to 2012. "The shortfall in achievement of (various growth targets) can be attributed both to internal and external factors viz. global slowdown, fluctuations in international prices, strong inflationary pressures and negative growth in agriculture due to drought like situation," Planning Minister Rajeev Shukla said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha. The agriculture sector grew in line with expectations while the industry slipped to a little over 7 per cent from the projected upto 11 per cent. The services sector growth was a little over a percentage point lower than the target of 11 per cent, the minister said adding the government was taking several steps to address the slowdown. The services sector grew at an average rate of 9.7 per cent per annum compared to the targeted 9-11 per cent in the five year period, he said in the reply. The government in the past couple of years has taken steps like setting up of Cabinet Committee on Investment to fasttrack large infrastructure projects, strengthening of financial and banking sector and also steps to increase infrastructure financing. In its advance estimates, the Central Statistics Office has pegged economic growth in the current fiscal at 4.9 per cent which would be slightly higher than 4.5 per cent achieved in 2011-12. Finance Minister P Chidambaram, however, has said that he expects economic growth to be 5 per cent in 2013-14 when the final figure arrives two years from now. The Approach to the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17) had envisaged 9 per cent annual average economic growth rate which was later fixed at 8 per cent by the National Development Council (NDC) in December 2012 while approving the five year policy. These growth targets for the 12th Plan would be reassessed in the mid-term appraisal of the five year policy in 2014-15. In the backdrop of lower economic growth rates of 4.5 per cent in first year of 12th Plan (2012-13) and 4.9 per cent in second year (2013-14), the annual average economic growth rate target for the entire five year policy could be revised downwards, it is felt.

Do you want to learn more how outsourcing companies in the Philippines and their clients build successful relationships? Are these their secrets? Is it playing the blame game or assuming they can outsource their whole brain? Maybe you think it’s about being a control freak or focusing on pay rate instead of results, do you? No, these aren’t the secrets that outsourcing companies in the Philippines use! These, according to Shane O’Neill’s article, are the four things that will lead you to the road of “failed outsourcing program.” We want you to know these pitfalls. Thus, avoid them and, instead, heed the following tips from outsourcing companies in the Philippines. 1. Prepare a distinct goal. To create a successful outsourcing relationship, you must gain a good understanding of the subcontracted work. Then, you, together with the service provider, should write goals for your relationship. A strong communication between a client and a service provider is vital in building a successful outsourcing relationship. Hence, to achieve this, share your ideas and plans with your contractor and tell them to be transparent with operational issues. “Encourage everyone to share good news and bad. Do not just communicate when you have something to complain about,” writes one UK-based website for IT professionals. Otherwise, help the outsourcing firm learn more about your company by telling them your business’ goals, plans, competitive strengths, and market positioning. If the firm has any shortcoming in the project, discuss it with them at once, and don’t let it fester and grow. Doing so will, rather, boost the understanding and commitment between you, resulting in a more harmonious relationship. Since the parties in an outsourcing relationship often come from varied cultures, it’s vital for both to recognize each one’s uniqueness and to bond together. Little taps can go a long way. Further, as a client, you can bridge this gap by visiting a supplier, talking with its management, hearing its visions and values, and gauging its track record. Positive feedbacks inspire outsourcing companies. They love to hear they’ve met or even beat your demands. Thus, thank them for completed tasks, welcome their ideas and suggestions, and respect their time. These actions will yield a fruitful outsourcing relationship between you and the firm. 7. Suggest regular review meetings. Not keeping in touch with your service provider will lead to frustration because of unmet needs. Hence, to keep a successful outsourcing relationship, hold frequent formal review meetings. Such will allow you and the outsourcing firm to generate ideas, suggestions, and updates crucial to keeping the project running in the best way possible. 8. Treat them as key partners. Unlike vendors, outsourcing companies in the Philippines don’t sell a product for mere money. What they offer are their own skills. Thus, show them you trust them, and you’re confident they can give you an excellent service. Treat them with the same respect as internal workers. Make them realize they’re an essential part of your business. A real partnership approach won’t only motivate your contractor and make them stay. Likewise, it will give you more time to find new ways on how to leverage their knowledge to your business. 9. Take care in negotiating. We understand you have a budget to keep. Yet, before you close the deal, make sure both you and the service provider agree it’s worthy. If they realized you’ve pushed them too far to give you a deal, “you might just get a bargain work in return,” claims Nellie Akalp, CEO at CorpNet, Incorporated. Solve this by telling early on what you can afford to pay. In the outsourcing business, pay and payment schedules vary. If you don’t know the fair market rate, you may check websites such as Salary.com and PayScale or a contractor-hiring site such as Upwork. If you found out the one you want to hire is too pricey, look for another outsourcing company that can match your budget.

THE PREMIER League appears to afford its members weekly opportunities to both reassert and challenge the accepted wisdom that the table never lies. Ahead of the latest international break, champions Manchester City will hope to return to domestic familiarity after another underwhelming performance in the Champions League on Wednesday night but Sunderland will not yield easily when they visit Eastlands in Saturday’s early kick-off. The Black Cats will face the sternest test of their unbeaten start and will have to contend with a City side that seemed ready to kick into gear at Fulham last weekend. League leaders Chelsea will hope to continue their residence at number one at home to winless Norwich. It is difficult to look beyond the Blues in a contest that pits Chelsea’s array of attacking options against the spirited but limited Canaries of Chris Hughton. More misery beckons for the East Anglians. Reading are another side in the relegation zone looking to secure a first victory. They have not come close hitherto. Yet even a trip to the Liberty Stadium to take on a Swansea side without a win in five matches seems a tall order for the Royals. West Brom’s position in the top six following a wonderful start to the campaign is something Mark Hughes’ rock-bottom QPR can only dream about at present. The Baggies are a good bet to extend their 100 per cent home record against the winless Rs, who are learning that it takes more than largesse to thrive in this division. This season’s Everton have been playing some of the club’s best football in decades. Matches such as this visit to a Wigan side without a home win to their name must be overcome if the early plaudits are to be maintained as the evenings draw in. The admiration for Arsenal’s new-found defensive parsimony dissipated following two sloppy concessions at home to Chelsea in last Saturday’s defeat. In this light, a visit to Sam Allardyce’s West Ham in the Saturday evening kick-off could either confirm suspicions that Arsene Wenger’s teams succumb under pressure or offer the Frenchman a riposte. Southampton have shown signs that they can make a positive impression in the Premiership but their defensive laxity has proved their undoing on multiple occasions. If they can challenge and defeat mid-table sides such as Fulham, who visit St Mary’s on Sunday, onlookers will be more confident about their survival chances. Liverpool’s first victory of the league season arrived last Saturday and their offensive performance offered some vindication of Brendan Rodgers’ methods but the defensive brittleness that afforded hapless Norwich two goals will give the visiting Stoke all the encouragement they need to grab their first win at Anfield since 1959. Tottenham are buoyed by three consecutive victories, including last Saturday’s triumph at Old Trafford, and will be confident of extending that run against faltering Aston Villa at White Hart Lane. Spurs head coach Andre Villas-Boas has been able to introduce his game plans in a manner that has thus far evaded Paul Lambert at Villa Park. Newcastle routed Manchester United when the two sides met at the Sports Direct Arena last term through greater firepower and midfield supremacy. That midfield ascendency remains but the Red Devils continually demonstrate their ability to mine goals from their able attacking options. Hope for the hosts lays in their ability to recover from Thursday’s Europa League exertions and for Demba Ba, in tow with Papiss Cisse, to continue his rich vein of form in front of goal against a United smarting from their defeat to Tottenham last weekend.

Am I enough? Am I worthy? Do I contribute to some greater good? What impossibly high standard do I still hold myself compared to what I would think reasonable of another person? What story am I telling myself? Will people like me if they really know me? Would they run away? Am I too opinionated or am I not judgmental enough? Am I engaged or is it okay to rest, retreat and just be? What kind of please others, what will they think of me kind of expectations do I have of myself? Am I aging gracefully, or do my forehead wrinkles and sagging parts make me unattractive? Am I keeping healthy enough or still feeding into the impossible societal standards of weight, exercise, and beauty? What kind of pressure am I still putting on myself? Am I letting myself rest? Am I finding contentment in my everyday lived life, Am I acknowledging the love I have and the love I give? Those moments when I allow the old tapes and self-judgment to seep in, what kind of story am I still telling myself? What kind of story are you telling yourself? Well hmmmmm….maybe I’ll do it if its a bright and sunny day. If I do, I’ll let you know. For a minute there I was thinking you are a brave warrior. We are looking at lows of -20 on Tuesday. I live right outside the city no where near rural areas. Yikes!! But the stars are sure pretty and twinkly at night. And maybe just maybe we’ll be able to see the northern lights. I am dreaming of beaches and sun. Trust me, you are more than enough. Have a beautiful evening. Stay warm. such an important question………..when we really pay attention to what we are saying to ourselves, it can be quite eye opening. love this post! Its sometimes a hard turn around but always feels better for me when I turn off that negative tape of old tape. You are most definitely enough! Accepting ourselves is hard, as we tend to criticize ourselves pretty harsh. The hardest thing I Have come to yet is, accepting myself, my flaws and working on me to be a better version of myself as anything else it is a work in progress. Keep your head up as I! We all face our own difficulties in life. To learn more about ourselves and to become better. Thank you for sharing. It’s imperative that we have to keep the conversation going. To say nothing, ends everyithing. Thank You! I believe having on-going conversations with each other are so important. You are more than good enough and worthy. Valid points, good questions and we all have a story to tell. Let’s talk about it and start a conversation is what I just posted for January awareness. Take Care.
