Top 7 Go-To Summer Cocktails

Top 7 Go-To Summer Cocktails

Although Summer seems to have disappeared and has been replaced with rain this week, the recent heatwave across the UK meant that we were all in need of a refreshing cocktail.

However, we can still imagine that the sun is shining by making a nice refreshing Summer cocktail or 2, and here are our favourite recipes to do so…

The Best Summer Cocktails

1. Strawberry Margarita

The popular strawberry margarita is perfect for summer, made up of fresh strawberries, tart lime and tequila. Extra points for using ice to make it extra refreshing!

2. Watermelon Mojito

We all know that watermelon is a perfect snack on the beach, and it’s even better in a cocktail. Combined with rum and mint, it’s the perfect go to on a hot summer day.

3. Pink Lemonade Martini

Pink Lemonade is all the rage this summer, and using it in a cocktail is a real winner. Make this cocktail using pink lemonade, Limoncello, vodka and cranberry juice.

4. Citrus Mint Sangria

There’s nothing like a sangria to get you in the summer spirit, so take a spin on the traditional recipe by using lemons, lime and fresh mint with dry white wine to get the perfect cocktail..

5. Frose

Remember earlier we mentioned adding ice to your cocktail? Well this cocktail takes it one step further - blend frozen Rosé with syrup, Aperol and fresh lemon juice to get the perfect cooling cocktail.

6. Grilled Pineapple Mojito

Popping some Pineapple on your BBQ is the new way to mix up your cocktail. Mix lime juice, agave nectar, mint, rum and pineapple juice together and top with your now caramelised pineapple and you’re onto a winner!

7. Blueberry Mojito

Adding fresh blueberries to your Mojito recipe is a sure winner to a refreshing and colourful drink that will please every BBQ guest, and bring out the pomegranate seeds if you want to add an extra splash of colour!

So there we have it - 7 cocktails that are perfect for a hot summer's day! Do you have any go-to cocktails that you love? Let us know below or tag us on Instagram @burningbarnrum, or view our other Burning Barn Rum cocktail recipes for something a little different!

Song of the Day!

  • October 25, 2011

This song is written based upon this scripture.
Jesus to His bride (the church)

Isaiah 54:10

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

The writer of Unfailing Love, Jimmy Needham fits this scripture in to coincide his relationship with his wife…he knows that he must love his wife as Christ loves the church. (Ephesians 5:25)

I just love this song!! Check it out!

Makeover My Mornings Challenge (Young Wife’s Guide Inspired)
  • January 11, 2016

Even the more reason to complete this challenge and to make it apart of my everyday. We, as women, are consumed by life whether we are clocking in at Corporate America or cleaning up fallen glitter at 7:30 AM (true story); so having those quiet moments are essential in being refreshed, though rare, it is essential. With any job, you are given breaks and vacations…although we can’t vacation from our responsibilities, we can have those burst of me- times to keep us pressing . I remember years ago, there was this popular YouTube video that interviewed people for the labor intense, almost inhumane job position to find out mothers do this year round, nonstop!Â Job InterviewÂ (click to view) Watching this video again, makes me even more encouraged as a wife and mother. God is good and He knew what he did when he created us! We are the brace to our families and we can either make or break it. With the challenge, I’m choosing to make my family stronger and wiser with the Lord’s help.

Well, this year, this week starting today for the next 14 days, I will partake in a challenge inspired by Young Wife’s Guide called Makeover Your Morning Challenge. I was inspired to participate in this challenge for the simple fact that life can be draining and as a mother, I have no time for that! So, instead of complaining about my daily routine and to-do’s, I’d figure I give it to God…after all, God says “I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27)

The next 14 days will consist of me waking up an hour before my family to spend time with God….to study His Word… to journal my thoughts, questions and desires and also to write His responses according to His Word. I hear of people waking up early to exercise and stay fit for the day’s journey, well, in my case, I will exercise my faith and will prepare for the day’s journey with praise and worship. To be perfectly honest, I know there will be obstacles that will prevent me from reaching the Lord in the morning, but that’s more fuel to my spiritual flame I have burning in me to get closer to the Lord.

So, who will take the challenge?

Mobile Tech RX Reaches Major Milestones with $1.7B in Transactions Processed through their App, a $4.2M Series A Funding Round, and New Products Launching to Transform the Auto Industry

Following a $4.2M Series A round led by Silverton Partners, Mobile Tech RX is driving a new era of digital modernization within the auto reconditioning industry and simultaneously preparing to expand into new markets.

AUSTIN, Texas--()--Mobile Tech RX, the leading all-in-one business management software solution for modern auto reconditioning businesses, today announces a new wave of growth in the auto reconditioning industry and in Mobile Tech RX’s recognition and adoption:

  • In June 2019, the company secured a $4.2 million Series A funding round led by Silverton Partners.
  • Today the company announces that a total of $1.7B has been invoiced through their app by Mobile Tech RX users, reflecting a healthy auto reconditioning industry supported by new technology partners.
  • In Q1 of 2020, the company plans to launch the industry’s first Detailing solution to help small business owners make more money with revolutionary estimating technology.

Mobile Tech RX’s $1.7B in transactions processed through their platform represents a momentous shift in the auto reconditioning industry - a shift towards digital estimating, invoicing, and payment processing.

The most pressing issue faced by auto reconditioning technicians today is not being able to charge customers for what their skills and services are worth. Most dent, detail, interior, paint, and wheel repair businesses still operate predominantly on pen and paper, which has resulted in stagnant prices and nonstandardized service rates. To the detriment of the entire industry, many consumers walk into an auto reconditioning business ready to barter and drive down prices.

Mobile Tech RX is on a mission to change that with their mobile app and business software. The company’s goal is to help auto recon businesses consistently make up to 30% more revenue per job by using their variable-based estimating and invoicing technology.

That goal is already coming to fruition for many Mobile Tech RX customers. “When I started using Mobile Tech RX, in one year, I raised our income $93,000. That’s what it’s done for us,” said Mobile Tech RX customer Daniel Gromm, CEO of Dent Dynamics in Santa Rosa, CA.

Eric Garves, CEO and co-founder of Mobile Tech RX, is the driver behind the company’s momentum. Formerly a PDR professional himself, Garves and business partner Daimen Simmons spent years looking for a solution that would help them professionally estimate and invoice and make the business more money. When they couldn’t find one, they decided to create their own, and in 2015, the first version of Mobile Tech RX was launched.

“Mobile Tech RX was built by auto reconditioning business owners who know how the industry works and what technicians need. We provide the entire industry with the tools to help them make more money and grow their businesses. The sheer number and amount of transactions that have been processed through our platform - $1.7 Billion - speaks not only to the health of the auto reconditioning industry but also to the need for a solution like Mobile Tech RX,” Eric Garves said.

Earlier this year, Garves and team secured a $4.2 million Series A funding round led by Silverton Partners to catalyze the company’s goals of expanding their head count, growing their customer base and usage, and launching products into new markets. Since the funding announcement in June, Mobile Tech RX’s headcount has increased by almost 50% and customer expansion has increased by almost 15%. The company has opened a wait list for their new Detailing product that is launching in the Spring of 2020.

About Mobile Tech RX

Mobile Tech RX is transforming the auto reconditioning industry by delivering software built by technicians, specifically for technicians. The Mobile Tech RX app makes it easy for reconditioning and repair technicians to estimate, invoice, manage teams, and capture data on-the-go and from a phone. The company was co-founded in 2014 by former PDR professional Eric Garves. Since then, the company has gained thousands of users and closed a $4.2 million Series A funding round led by Silverton Partners. For more information, visit

Release Summary

Mobile Tech RX announces $1.7B in transactions processed through their app, a $4.2M Series A funding round, and new products launching in Spring 2020.

The 'PLL' Finale Plot Hole Fans Are Still Confused About

Warner Bros. Television Distribution

Despite all the heat the finale is getting on Twitter, it was pretty glorious. Few viewers watch Pretty Little Liars for its realism, and, as such, the bizarre A.D. reveal felt perfect for the show. But one weird plot hole in the Pretty Little Liars finale starkly contradicted the world I. Marlene King had constructed, and this felt like the real problem with the final installment. For a show that places such an emphasis on the importance of family, Mike Montgomery's absence at Aria's wedding is a huge oversight.

The former lacrosse player wasn't in the episode at all — something that many others have been quick to pick up on. After all, this was someone that the series dedicated hours and hours to. Remember his rage issues following his parents' divorce? His on-again-off-again relationship with Mona that so many people were rooting for? His problems with depression? This wasn't some minor, forgettable role. This was a fully fleshed-out character, and it made little to no sense that the formerly troubled teen wasn't there to see his sister enter the next stage of her life.

And it's definitely falls into the category of a plot hole, because this could have easily been explained away. His distaste for Aria and Ezra's relationship wasn't exactly a secret in the bad old days. If Aria's parents had let us know he'd chosen to deliberately skip the wedding as a protest, nobody would have been surprised.

Heck, even if Mike had completely changed his mind about the romantic union (much like Byron's odd endorsement of his daughter marrying a guy she first met when he taught her as a 15 year old just because Ezra didn't actively try and win his approval), a concrete reason as to his absence would have been another way to account for him not being there. A gap year in New Zealand, an accident while working somewhere very far away that had landed him in the hospital days before the wedding, just something to explain why a family as close as the Montgomeries are would let Mike's complete no-show pass unremarked.

This was a kid who was unbelievably invested in his family. When Byron reveals in Season 1 Episode 13 "Know Your Frenemies" that he and Ella have decided to see other people, Mike is devastated enough to flounce off. In Season 1 Episode 20 "Someone To Watch Over Me," he gets mad at Arya for keeping secrets about her as-yet-unnamed romance, stating that it's creating tension between their parents and making them fight more. Mike's descent into criminality, with him trying to breaking into the DiLaurentis house in Season 2 Episode 5 "The Devil You Know," seems to have been prompted by his parents' relationship issues. And, while he has rocky patches with Aria, ultimately he has some version of her best interests at heart.

When Aria reveals she's in a relationship with her high school teacher in Season 2 Episode 14 "Through Many Dangers, Toils, And Snares", he punches Ezra, but later reveals that this was only because he was afraid their father would punch him first. In Season 4 Episode 6 "Under The Gun," while he accuses her of having hooked up with a friend of his (as per the rumors), when Aria gets upset, he's remorseful and apologizes. As such, it's really hard to buy him skipping his own sister's wedding or them drifting apart to such a degree that he could skip without anyone mentioning him at all. That just isn't the Mike Montgomery we've been led to understand or the Montgomery family as we know them.

Maybe there's an alternate ending that will explain away the best brother on the show not being there on the happiest day of his sister's life. Or maybe, more disappointingly, it was just a complete oversight.

Coral Passion Orchid Plant

This bright and beautiful sight is what results when the fun of the hot sun meets up with the exotic appeal of everyone’s favorite – the orchid. We’ve placed a magnificent phaleanopsis orchid plant touting two tall, multi-blossomed spikes inside our lively metal cachepot, its footed base and scalloped brim touched with gold while its sides are playfully hand painted with an island coral motif. Your orchid which ships in bud and bloom will be hand selected by our grower on the day your order ships and may vary in color.

  • Plant height: 16″ – 20″
  • Cachepot: hand-painted metal; 6″ high
  • Also available in our woven wicker basket

Place the orchid where it will receive moderate light. This orchid does not like direct sunlight. It will do best with temperatures between 65 to 75 degrees. Keep orchid evenly moist, the roots should never be dry. Water once or twice a week, but be sure that the roots are not soggy. Take orchid out of basket or cachepot to water and drain. These plants like humidity between 40 – 50%. Misting will help increase humidity. Fertilize once a month with a balanced orchid food at ½ strength.

Grand Gardenia Topiary Plant

Renowned for their heady, sweet fragrance, gardenia plants are a favorite that garners endless compliments. The topiary’s unique braided trunk adds to its allure, enlivening home or office. A fitting gift for birthday, thank you, or any occasion. Featured here in our blue metal cachepot.  We ship in bud to ensure lasting enjoyment.
  • Plant height:  17″ – 20″
  • Cachepot: metal, 6″ high
  • Also available in our woven basket

Do not over water your gardenia as leaf drop can result. The best way to water is to add 1 – 2 ice cubes to the plant daily as it does not enjoy over saturation. The plant prefers to not be too warm and dislikes low humidity interior environments. Shipped in bud for you to enjoy the opening into blossoms. To keep your plant full, cut back any long un-branched new growth, making the cut just above the leaf joint. Your plant will bloom indoors for up to two to three weeks. Remember if you’re planning a party, plants make stunning decorations for a buffet table.

A Message from the DM about the Clerk of the Privy Council’s 27th Annual Report to the Prime Minister on the Public Service of Canada

August 13, 2020 - Defence Stories

message from the deputy minister

Dear colleagues and friends,

I encourage you all to read the following message from Ian Shugart, Clerk of the Privy Council.  In it, he invites you all to read this year’s Annual Report to the Prime Minister on the Public Service of Canada, and while I hesitate to steal the Clerk’s thunder, his words reflect what I already knew. Your hard work, dedication, and professionalism this past year, especially in the face of so many challenges and unprecedented times affecting the department, is incredible, and something that bears repeating.

I could not be more proud of the way you have all adapted over the past year, and how all Defence Team members, civilian and military, have worked together to navigate these uncharted waters, and achieve outstanding results for our military and for all Canadians.

As we move forward, we will need to continue to support each other and keep up the outstanding work for the uncertain times that lay ahead of us. There will be some bumps along the road as we navigate the return to the workplace across Canada and around the world. Business resumption is not a fast or a straightforward process, but I am confident that we can continue to evolve as an organization, and work together to continue to overcome any challenges to come.

Jody Thomas
Deputy Minister of National Defence

Message from the Clerk on the 27th Annual Report to the Prime Minister on the Public Service of Canada

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to share with you the Twenty-Seventh Annual Report to the Prime Minister on the Public Service of Canada.

This year’s report is in the form of a letter to the Prime Minister. It highlights your incredible, tireless work to provide critical services to ensure the health, safety, security and economic well-being of Canadians. It reminds us of the challenges we have faced this past year alone. It also provides some thoughts on the progress we have made, as the Public Service, to embrace risk, become more agile, and explore new ways of working. All of these qualities have played a key role in our ability to quickly adapt and continue to serve Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I am extremely proud of the work you have done, especially under the unique challenges we are all facing in these uncertain times. Your commitment to being in this together and serving Canadians is a tremendous advantage that will continue to benefit the country in the future.

I thank you all for your dedicated and continued work.

Ian Shugart
Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet

Let go of these things to live a happier life

Mind & Spirit

Let go of these things to live a happier life

Stop carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Here are a few simple steps to release your stress.

As I was heading out with a friend one day, I slung my oversize purse over my shoulder. “Do you really need all that?” she asked. You know those moments when everything seems to slow down and come into sharp focus, when everything clicks into place and becomes more solid, more certain? Well, as I rummaged through my purse, unpacking my unused notebooks, collection of pens and stuffed makeup bag, I had one of those moments. It was then that I realized I had the weight of the world on my shoulders—and I bet you do, too.

We carry around a lot of crap, and most of it is unnecessarily burdensome. I think you know what I’m getting at. The load we bear is both mental and emotional—and optional.

My office is filled with people who are holding on to thoughts that take up precious space in their psyche and slow their steps forward. I’ll ask you what I ask them: What would happen if you let that baggage go?

“Let it go” is the mantra of the month. I’ve created a menu of choices for you; feel free to order à la carte or go ahead and devour all of them. The more you bite off, the lighter you’ll feel.

If you get butterflies even thinking about loosening the reins or letting someone else take the wheel, this one’s for you. When we worry that anything short of perfection is shameful, we tighten our grip; we control ourselves, others, the agenda, the conversation—all in an effort to ensure that imperfections aren’t exposed. When we release control, we’re letting go of perfectionism.

Buddhist sages have long espoused the wisdom of relinquishing our often unhealthy hunger for material possessions. The problem isn’t the objects themselves but, rather, the meaning we ascribe to them. Acquisition has become an accounting system for self-worth and, worse, a ranking system we use to evaluate one another. When we let go of attachment, we connect with ourselves and others on a more spiritual level.

When we hold others to our own entirely subjective standards, we’re asking friends, coworkers and family to be mind readers. We’re also setting ourselves up for disappointment should loved ones fall short of these standards. When we let go of expectations, we open the door to communication.

Keeping score and gossiping are all ways in which we attempt to make others seem small. But really, we’re only diminishing ourselves. When we stop acting on petty behaviours, we rise above.

Many of us nurse past hurts and grievances, and by doing so, we keep them alive, allowing them to fester. For some, a grudge is something to hold over another—a trump card for the win. Others hold on to resentment because they’re holding on to a revenge fantasy, a settling of the score.

The great Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön preaches that when we treat resentment as a reminder, not an opportunity for revenge, we open ourselves up to past pain and, by doing so, to healing. Letting go of resentment forces us to confront our hurts and embarrassments, to understand them and to move on. It invites us to forgive. And when we forgive, we drop a lot of weight.

By using an Underwater Treadmill, we can provide our patients with the opportunity to strengthen muscles while minimizing stress on the joints and bones. The warm water provides buoyancy and helps increase your dog's overall flexibility and range of motion. As the water level rises and the speed of the treadmill is changed, we can alter the level of resistance your dog experiences. The underwater treadmill is a wonderful, low impact workout that provides support to a recovering body and many of our pets who do not like to swim find the underwater treadmill enjoyable.

In many cases, dogs start to regain strength and ability in the water long before they regain it on dry land. Hydrotherapy gives them the chance to increase their abilities in

the water so they can be stronger and more comfortable at home. Sporting dogs can benefit from Hydrotherapy too since they can get an intense workout without over-working their joints.

Can Too are running into spring

by Emma Brown 12 Jun 2020

The great news is that from this Saturday 13 June Can Tooers can meet up for face-to-face training in groups up to 20. Professionally coached training with the supportive Can Too community starts Tuesday 16 June for our 2020 Run into Spring program.

We were certainly overdue for a Can Too catch up – so pods started training together to get ready for the coached half marathon and 10km program. See some of the Can Tooers below that completed a run recently. The group included prolific Can Too runner, swimmer, and trekker Nisha Sachdev, who said that it’s great to be able to join up face-to-face with her Can Too buddies.

“It’s great to be allowed to do group training again, it’s motivating to feel your energy come back to exercise together and to start a Can Too program, to have a structure and routine and know that you are part of this supportive community."

Places are limited

To ensure that everyone is training safely, places in all pods are limited due to government restrictions. We will actively manage pod sizes and training groups as restrictions ease. If your desired pod has a waitlist, please join this waitlist and as soon as a place becomes available, we will contact you.

Goal event

The 10km and Half Marathon programs will prepare participants to achieve their running goal on 20 September. This is the date set for the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival. Please be assured that if the planned event does not go ahead due to government restrictions, Can Too will deliver a safe alternative, supported run.

How You Can Make Your Life Easier By Organising A Specialised Nurse To Come To Your Office To Implement Workplace Flu Vaccinations

group of people working

One of the most important things that people must do in life is trying to make their everyday experience as easy as possible. Life will always throw curveballs at people anyway, and so people may as well make the things that they do have control over easy so that they can better manage the unexpected when it does arise. The good news is that there are all sorts of different ways that people are able to go about this.

For example, people can do a few things that will help with improving workplace happiness which is one of the key things when it comes to retention. Having said this, people may want to implement new things but sometimes it can be hard to do so as it can take up so much time and energy. As there are so many companies out there who are looking to do everything that they can to take care of the wellbeing of their staff, here is how you can make your life easier by organising a specialised nurse to come to your office and implement corporate flu vouchers.

You can make your life easier by organising a specialised nurse to come to your office to implement corporate flu vouchers so that team members don’t have to take time off work

One of the reasons why some companies do not go about implementing this very important service is because they simply cannot afford to have all of their team members take time off work in order to go and have this done. And it is simply not fair to ask people to do things on the weekend in their spare time so some managers out there will just veto the idea completely. What they may not realise is that they do not have to do this as they can easily have a trained nurse to come to the office to implement corporate flu vouchers.

This means that all staff members have to do is to step away from their desk for about 15-minutes and they do not have to drive anyway. Not only is this incredibly easy but it can also be very helpful for those who are scared to have lot of people around them that they know and trust.

You can make your life easier by organising a specialised nurse to come to your office to implement corporate flu vouchers so that they can answer any hard questions that staff members may have

As mentioned above, there are a few different reasons why you are able to make your life easier by organising a specialised nurse to come to your office in order to implement corporate flu vouchers. One of the reasons why is because staff members may have lots of different questions in regards to this service that the everyday person cannot answer. For example, they may be wanting to know if the pain is going to be bad and if there is going to be a recovery time.

Others may be wanting to know if the injection will help prevent all different types of viruses or just a couple. Be this as it may, it can be a great idea to have a professional come to the place of business so that they address any questions that team members may have. And on top of this, they can perform the injections and help ensure that the office is kept as healthy and happy as it can possibly be.

The Joys of Hiring a Newcastle Self Storage

storage units

Hiring a Newcastle self storage for short-term projects or for long-term use gives residents more options at their disposal.

These multi-faceted locations empower constituents to protect their valuables, improve security measures, provide more space for their property and have a contingency in place should something go wrong.

Clearing The Household Clutter

Household clutter is a major issue for hoarders, but the problem does not have to escalate to extreme levels to be an annoyance. By using a Newcastle self storage, participants are able to take those packages, containers and loads that don’t serve a direct purpose anymore and place them off site. It is amazing once a household is clear of clutter how much space suddenly appears, making the environment safer, cleaner and more attractive for residents, guests and real estate agents alike. If this clutter is a genuine issue that needs to be addressed but the use of a bin is considered too much of a waste, this is the perfect solution at hand.

Seasonal Storage Opportunity

There are some goods that are required to have around the home, but they have a limited shelf life when it comes to their purpose. This is showcased most clearly with Christmas decorations and items that are only supposed to be used for birthday parties, Easter, Halloween or for the extreme cold or warm weather periods. Products like mowers, pesticides, fans and air conditioners can also fit this bill, paving the way to use a Newcastle self storage.

Ensuring Integrity of Valuables

There are two key elements at place with a Newcastle self storage to ensure the integrity of the asset. The first revolves around security, offering a protected environment that is monitored by surveillance and kept behind a strong padlock combination that is only known to the individual. Despite any attempts to break through these units, no intruder will succeed. The second benefit in this example is the capacity to maintain the value of the possession, removing any dust and debris that brands will be exposed to when left at home.

Perfect Selling Point For Private Sales

An underrated joy that can be found with using a Newcastle self storage is leveraging the neutral position for private sale opportunities. Disclosing private address details to a seller online can make some individuals a bit apprehensive about the process, but using a location that is kept under lock and key away from the property will provide an ideal position in these circumstances. If there are assets that are going to be put online for a sale, then use these unit positions as a chance to cash in on the product without having to use a home postcode.

Extra Option For Emergencies

Unfortunately there will be the threat of ongoing bushfires across the Hunter, creating long periods where local constituents will be looking for alternative solutions to protect their valuables. This is where the inclusion of a Newcastle self storage provides a pathway, keeping those items in a safe environment while families look for a short-term evacuation point. The same can be said for other extreme weather events should storms or high winds hit community centres, creating a safe space where these goods can remain in a protected environment while homeowners cater to priority number one: looking after everyone’s health and safety.

Any of these scenarios can be presented to homeowners in the Hunter, paving the way for residents to utilise a Newcastle self storage. By checking out the best outlets close by, individuals can determine which facilities are best for their budget and which sizes will be suitable to hold their valuables.

Things To Know About De Facto Relationship Separation Entitlements

lawyer-client consultation

As most people out there will agree, falling in love is one of the best things that people can do in life. But as the old saying goes, what goes up must come down which means that when two people fall out of love or when they realise that they are not good for each other, things can get a little bit messy. It can be really hard for people to let go of another person romantically, especially when they thought they were going to spend their whole lives together.

Because of this, people can often act in a way that is not how they would usually act when they fear that the other person is slipping away for good. But no matter how ugly things can get, people will usually have rights that they need to be aware of in these situations, even if they are not legally married. So for anyone out there who is wanting to learn more about this topic so that they are able to make good decisions for themselves and their family moving forward, here are some things to know about de facto relationship separation entitlements.

People who have been together for more than two years will likely need to educate themselves on de facto relationship separation entitlements

What can be confusing to some is that they might not know if they are in the position where they will need to educate themselves about de facto relationship separation entitlements. What is important for people to know is that when they have been together for more than two years, the two involved people will likely have rights to the other person’s finances and possessions. Having said this, things can get a little more complicated when people have been on and off again or when there is a child involved.

When been have been together for more than two years, the chances are that people will have made plans about the future together, will have purchased things together, and may even own property together. As this is the case, when two people decide to go their separate ways, they will then need to tally up all of their joint things and divide them. As this is no easy task, it is always best to work with a legal professional during this trying time.

People may not have to go to court to learn more about or to enforce de facto relationship separation entitlements

lawyer handing something

What will concern many people out there is that they will have to go to court which is where anything can happen depending on what the judge decides. As this is the case, it is usually best that people try to sort things out, outside of the court room. The only trouble is that sometimes people can not agree on certain things and sometimes the same people may not know what their rights are.

Because of this, it is still usually a good idea for people to work with a professional attorney who is able to organise meetings where people can go through everything in a safe environment and everything is put down on paper. While this may cost a little bit of money to set up, it may actually save people a lot of money as they are staying out of the court room. Furthermore, if there are professional attorneys that people can have access to, they are also able to ask any questions that they may have about de facto relationship separation entitlements and how they can go about ensuring they’re enforced.…

Why It Is A Good Idea To Have Your Plumbing And Hot Water Cylinders Installed At The Same Time

There seems to be a movement in this day and age that revolves around aiming to do one thing at a time. This is otherwise known as the art of single tasking and more and more people are trying to implement this as they can clearly see that they are stressed out and overwhelmed. Most people have to-do lists that are miles long and will actually find that they are able to get through these lists when they do one thing at a time.

This is because people are able to be in the present moment and can really put their focus on the task at hand. While there are many benefits to completing things in such a way, this doesn’t mean that they are not times in life where people will need to juggle a few things at once. For instance, when someone is building a home, there may be times where they have to make several different decisions and will have to work with several different trades. And so, here is why it is a good idea to have your plumbing and hot water cylinder installed at the same time.

It is a good idea to have your plumbing and hot water cylinders installed at the same time because you might be able to save yourself some money

As previously mentioned, there are many different benefits to the art of single tasking. Having said this, there are many benefits that can also be experienced when people are able to kill a few different birds with one stone. For instance, when someone is building their first home and is wanting to save themselves as much money as possible, it can be helpful for them to find a professional who is able to do a few different things at the same time.

When people get the same professional or company to do a few different things, they are much more likely going to get the best price than if they hired several different people to do different things. This is why it is such a good idea to have your plumbing and hot water cylinders installed at the same time. While not all plumbers will be able to do both tasks, they may work for a company that offers both of these services.

It is a good idea to have your plumbing and hot water cylinders installed at the same time because you might be able to save yourself some precious time

While saving money is one thing, what people will actually need to do if they want to be successful is to save as much time as they possibly can. When people have more time, they are able to go after more work and so they are able to save themselves money. Furthermore, when people are building a home they are likely under a deadline from the bank and so if they go over this deadline, they may end up having to pay both rent and their mortgage.

As this is the case, it can be a great idea for people to have their plumbing and hot water cylinders installed at the same time because they are able to then go on to save themselves some time. When people think ahead and are willing to bunch a few things together, they may even find that they are able to have their home done way earlier than they originally thought. In conclusion, it can be seen that there are many benefits.…

Five Interesting Facts About Wrought Iron

wrought iron fences

Wrought iron is an alloy with an extremely low carbon content in contrast to other alloys such as cast and steel. Just like the metal used for the best balustrade in Perth, it is known for being tough and malleable which makes it perfect for forging. Although many people have probably come into contact with wrought iron, or have used a product made from the material, not many actually know much about it.

Keep reading to find out some interesting facts about wrought iron!

Fact 1: Whilst everyone learns basic chemistry, and the periodic table at school, how many of us really remember it? Probably only a few. So, lets start with the basics. Wrought iron is a chemical element and a metal. The element can be found on the periodic table with the chemical symbol of Fe. The material also has the atomic number of 26.

You may have noticed the occurrence of rust on some metal products, but have you ever wondered what causes this? When Fe reacts with oxygen in the presence of water, rust forms.

Fact 2: It can be easy to forget that the Earth is composed of a range of different elements. Whilst we use the metal to forge useful items, Fe is also the fourth most common element in the Earth’s crust. This roughly translates to it being around 5% of the total. Furthermore, it is suspected that the Earth’s core is made up of an Fe and nickel alloy.

Wrought Iron Fences

Interestingly, Earth is not the only planet that is comprised of the element; gas giant planets such as Saturn and Jupiter have cores rich in the substance. The prominence of the element has resulted in it being the 6th most common element found in the entire Universe.

Fact 3: Wrought iron is one of the most common alloys of the metal, but the element can also be used to make other metals. One of which is steel. Steel is made from Fe and a small amount of carbon. Although the amount of carbon used is small, it drastically increases the strength of the metal. Interestingly, steel can be up to 1000 times stronger than the element in its original form.

Another alloy of the element is cast, this often contains carbon, silicon and manganese. This metal was most commonly used to build large structures such as bridges. However, as steel is much stronger and more durable, many of cast’s uses have been replaced by steel.

Fact 4: There are some periods in history that everyone knows about, one of which is the Iron Age; this point in time was prehistoric but the exact dates vary depending on location. Historians estimate that this era was around the 12th Century BC in Ancient Greece and the 6th Century BC in Northern Europe.

The name of the period indicates why the time is so crucial in human history. Essentially, it is noted as being the first time when steel and other metals were used to make tools and weapons. This early advancement in human history had a huge impact on how mankind moved forward. However, it was not as easy in this time period to get access to the element. The early wrought iron used in human history actually came from meteors.

Fact 5: The metal is produced worldwide and is relatively cheap and simple to make in comparison to other materials. China is thought to be the largest producer of the metal, making up around 33% of the worlds total production.

The metal can be used to make a variety of things, such as machines, vehicles and building structures. Whilst the metal is known to rust, there are ways of preventing this in order to extend its lifespan. It is possible to paint, coat or galvanise the metal in order to protect it from moisture.

Using Markets to Balance Agricultural Expansion and Forest Conservation

Guilherme DePaula and Leandro Justino

How can we balance agricultural expansion and forest conservation in developing countries? Brazil has a productive agricultural sector with potential for expansion and a rich endowment of natural vegetation resources located on private land. According to the last Agricultural Census, Brazilian farms possessed about 98.5 million hectares of forestland (IBGE 2006), a little less than the combined land area of France and Germany. In 1975, when agricultural production was concentrated in southeast Brazil (Figure 1), about 60 percent of farmland was native vegetation. However, since then, technological change and market reforms have enabled national agricultural expansion. By 2006, the share of native vegetation within private properties had decreased to 46 percent (IBGE 1975; 2006).

Figure 1
Figure 1. Share of agricultural land within private properties in Brazil
Source: Agricultural Censuses (IBGE 1975; 2006)

In this study, we assess Brazil’s application of transferable development rights (TDR), a tradable allowance for the conversion of one hectare of natural vegetation into agriculture and a promising market-based instrument that supports both the conservation of natural vegetation and agricultural expansion. TDR allows a farmer to offset the conversion of one hectare of forestland to agriculture by buying one TDR from a farmer willing to maintain or convert less productive land into natural vegetation.

The New Brazilian Forestry Code and TDRs

The forestry code, which regulates private property land use in Brazil, aims to preserve the endowment of natural vegetation inside farms given the value of biodiversity and ecosystem services such as freshwater protection and carbon sequestration. The code specifies two land diversion requirements, the legal reserve and the areas of permanent preservation. The legal reserve requirement specifies, at the biome level, the proportion of farmland that must be preserved in the original natural vegetation. The reserve requirement is 80 percent in the Amazon, 35 percent in the Savanna, and 20 percent in the remaining biomes.

The new Brazilian forestry code, approved in 2012 (Law 12.651/2012), allows TDR trading to ensure compliance with land diversion requirements. For example, a farmer with a reforestation gap of 100 hectares could meet his or her obligations either by converting 100 hectares of his or her farm into natural vegetation or by purchasing 100 TDRs in the market. TDR implementation depends on the regulation of the Brazilian TDR market and completion of a national registry of rural properties. All Brazilian farmers must complete their registration by December 31, 2018.

Soares-Filho et al. (2014) integrate multiple data sources at the watershed level to analyze changes to the Brazilian forestry code and estimate the resulting reforestation gap by biome and state. Our analysis extends their work by simulating the potential of the TDR instrument for forestry conservation using farm-level census data. We also estimate the savings in compliance costs using TDRs.

Supply of Forestland

The gains from trading in the TDR market depend on differences in the opportunity cost of forestland; that is, the foregone agricultural profits from keeping land as natural vegetation. We model the opportunity cost of forestland by estimating a land-use model for Brazil using census data and then simulate the share of forestland within each farm at different TDR prices.

The result is the supply function of forestland in Brazil. Figure 2 shows the simulated supply functions of forestland for the entire Savanna biome (solid line) and the Savanna biome within the state of Mato Grosso (dotted-and-dashed line). Mato Grosso is important because it is the largest producer of soy and corn in Brazil. The solid line assumes one TDR market for the entire Savanna biome, whereas the dotted-and-dashed line models a TDR market only for Mato Grosso. The dotted line represents a TDR model for Mato Grosso with supply restricted based on the reserve requirements. In such a restricted market, farmers can only sell TDRs for acreage above the required 35 percent share of natural vegetation.

Figure 2
Figure 2. Supply of forestland in the Savanna and Mato Grosso

For example, a TDR price of $100 would incentivize Savanna farmers to reforest 17 percent of farmland. The lowest productivity land is reforested first, and the supply function becomes more inelastic as we move to highly productive farmland. The vertical dashed line represents the reforestation gap for Mato Grosso. Soares-Filho et al. (2014) estimate a reforestation gap of 1.6 million hectares in Mato Grosso and 3.7 million hectares in the entire Savanna. This reforestation gap captures demand for forestland implicit in the forestry code. We estimate equilibrium TDR prices of $24, $96, and $156 for the Savanna, Mato Grosso, and Mato Grosso restricted TDR markets, respectively. Without a TDR market, each farmer would have to reforest up to the 35 percent requirement level. We estimate a compliance cost of $1.7 billion for Mato Grosso without TDRs, using median land prices. With a TDR market, the compliance cost reduces to approximately $250 million based on the Mato Grosso restricted market, the most likely design. Implementing a TDR market within a large geographical scope (i.e., crossing state boundaries) is operationally and politically challenging because monitoring and enforcement capabilities vary across states and there is potential for the concentration of agricultural production in a few locations. The implementation of a TDR market at the state/biome level would thus reduce compliance costs by 75 percent in Mato Grosso.

The TDR mechanism incorporates the value of agricultural expansion into an environmental policy to balance environmental and development objectives. Further, the market for TDRs can be extended to incorporate the additional benefits of reforestation such as carbon sequestration and the development of biodiversity corridors.

Spotlight on Household Designer Names

Posted on 03 Apr, 2019

The design world exists and impacts on so many aspects of our lives, from the mobile phones we use to the clothes we wear. Most of the time this is done so unobtrusively that we are not aware of the amount of thought, effort and skill that has gone into it.

An example is when visiting a hotel lobby, a guest may be impressed by the opulence, but we might not consider how this has been achieved. The mixture of textures, use of colour and carefully structured layout may well go over their head, but the experience that the designer wishes to create is conveyed all the same. In this way, designers are not often known outside the industry, though they may be very successful.

At Careers in Design, we love matching up clients and candidates to form long-... Continue reading >

The Secret to Modern Country Style Interiors

Posted on 04 Mar, 2019

The country home has always had a special charm for interior designers. Mixing character and cosiness with a quintessentially British aspect, it has been a real stalwart for designing traditional hotel spaces, period properties, barn conversions and more. The drawback with the traditional country look is expense and practicality. With more and more people drawn into cities, living spaces are becoming smaller and the country home look has become less popular in favour of more minimalistic styles. Luckily there is a way to get the best of both worlds, adapting the country home to fit modern living and tastes, in a modern country interior.

Interior Design Fabrics to Celebrate Spring

Posted on 20 Feb, 2019

Fabrics are so important to interior design but often they are the unsung hero that fall into the background. The way that an interior designer uses fabric in a project is a real balancing act of many different factors. Too many bold designs can make the space seem stuffy or crowded, while too many intricate patterns can be visually confusing. On the other side of the scale, plain options can lead to a space seeming washed out and cold.

With Spring just around the corner (well nearly!). we look at some of the best ways that fabric can be used in interior design.

In spaces that see a lot of traffic like show homes, hotels and restaurants, designers often seek to offset the busyness of the area by adopting a simple, modern style, but that can miss the opportunity to introd... Continue reading >

Kitchen Designs That Are Both Beautiful and Practical

Posted on 25 Jan, 2019

The beginning of the year is a popular time to look at home renovations for the year ahead with kitchens and bathrooms as prime targets. Today we turn our focus to the world of kitchen design, an exciting area which demands high levels of aesthetics and design coupled with practicality.

Kitchen Designer Overview

A kitchen designer typically specialises in all elements of the kitchen area. This could be in residential properties, restaurants, schools and offices. You will be working with clients in discussing products, materials, colours, styles and lighting whilst advising them on layouts and space planning, suitable fitted and freestanding furniture and often presenting 3D visuals using CAD software.

Wallpaper Designs to Suit Every Space

Posted on 11 Jan, 2019

Using statement wallpaper is one way to change the look of a space, be it in your home, a coffee shop or a hotel, and there are plenty of amazing designs to choose from. Whether you want something simple and muted, bold and bright or classy and elegant, there's something for everyone.

The first recorded use of wallpaper was in China in 200 B.C. when the Chinese first glued rice paper to walls. When the craze moved to Europe only the wealthy could afford to commission artisans to create their designs via hand painting or the use of stencils. Luckily with the advent of the printing press they became more widely available and now modern printing technology allows us a huge array of choices in pattern, texture and ... Continue reading >

Winter Interior Design Trends

Posted on 30 Nov, 2018

Looking at the Autumn/Winter 2018 design trends we see both new ones emerging and many existing styles still popular.  The team at Careers in Design is always interested to see what are the key trends and would encourage all designers to talk about current and future trends and your own thoughts during an interview if the subject comes up. This then gave us the idea to gather information on some of the most exciting trends and see how you could incorporate them into design projects this season.

Enchanting Dark Shades

Colours for the Autumn/Winter portfolio are normally darker than the first half of the year, but for 2018 they take on a magical feel with deep plum, crimson and navy creating a luxurious and cosy atmosphere. To take this colour trend to another level... Continue reading >

Halloween is an exciting time of year as we say farewell to the carefree days of summer and start looking forward to cosy winter nights in.

"Sick visitors to hospitals"

About: Angliss Hospital

(as the patient),

I got the virus/cold going around. I went to ER with pneumonia and collapsed lung.

The visitor to the patient in the bed next to me was coughing that hacking cough. I said you need to go doctor and get antibiotics and please do not come back to the hospital before you are well again. The visitor seemed to get angry and said I am OK and the antibiotics will work for me and I'll not be sick more than a few days. Yeah maybe I said but you are infecting all the nurses and doctors, patients and other visitors. I didn't want my family to visit me as they would have caught that virus/cold again (most had just recovered from it).

It seemed to me that one nurse wanted her sent home but one of the doctors said no one could enforce her to leave the hospital and not return until she was well and not that hacking cough. The hospital will not answer my letter regarding putting a stop to this just telling me it is up to the visitor whether they come to the hospital sick and infecting everyone else!

Not right and needs change. Can someone tell me who has authority to turn sick visitors to a hospital away?

This response has been posted by Patient Opinion on behalf of Eastern Health:

Dear March,

Thank you for raising your concerns in relation to your experience at Angliss Hospital. In your post you mention that the hospital will not answer the letter you sent to us. We have received a complaint very similar to yours and we wonder whether it is the same one. Someone did write to us to tell us about a similar situation and our Patient Relations Advisor, Sharon Deeker, did email her back – but perhaps this was another, similar complaint.

Regardless, we would like the opportunity to respond directly to your concerns so I would encourage you to call our Centre for Patient Experience on 1800 327 8376 or so we can investigate your concerns with the relevant staff and to offer you a formal explanation.

Eastern Health is committed to responding to feedback and using patient feedback to improve our services and we would very much appreciate the opportunity to assist you further.

Yours sincerely,

Tanya Hendry

"Refusal of admission as a child"

About: Armadale Hospital / Emergency Department Bentley Adolescent Unit East Metropolitan Youth Unit (EMYU) Perth Children's Hospital Princess Margaret Hospital for Children

(as a parent/guardian),

My family member is a teenager. They have an eating disorder and were diagnosed earlier in the year at Princess Margaret Hospital following episodes of extreme distress and self-harm necessitating an admission to Bentley Adolescent Clinic. They were in their early teens at the time. Since then they have had a further three admissions to the BAU last year, and two admissions to Princess Margaret Hospital this year for medical reasons. Following discharge, they have been monitored at the eating disorder outpatient clinic on a fortnightly basis.

Recently, I brought them to the emergency room of Armadale Hospital as they had been purging and had an extremely rapid pulse and felt faint. Bloods were taken and they had a potassium count of 2.2. The doctor said it was fortunate that I had brought them in, as they could have dropped dead. Chilling words to hear.

They were admitted via emergency to an adult medical ward at Armadale Hospital where the next youngest patient was in their 50’s. They were refed and became medically stable, but the nature of their disorder saw their mental health begin to deteriorate. They became increasingly agitated and distressed, and began threatening self-harm. I believed they needed to be in the new Perth Children’s Hospital, but they were not accepted there on the basis of their age. They attend the outpatient clinic there, and historically when the clinic was at PMH, adolescents between 16 and 17 have been admitted. PMH had stated that they would not accept any ED patients over 16 at their ED during the transition to the new hospital, hence our presenting at Armadale Hospital Emergency.

On three occasions during their inpatient stay at Armadale Hospital, their agitation was so great that they had to be restrained by three security guards, and injected with a sedative. On one of those occasions they got hold of a razor and cut their arms.

They had a medical emergency on one day when their blood sugar and blood pressure dropped very low.

Although Armadale Hospital were taking advice from the consultant at PCH, as well as one of the dieticians, they were ill equipped to treat my family member. As one of the ward doctors said they may see two eating disorder patients a year, so their expertise and experience is limited.

At no time was my family member seen by a psychiatrist specialising in adolescent/child mental health. At no time were they seen by an eating disorder specialist. Adult psychiatrists saw them on a number of occasions. My family member was formed under the mental health act on the day they cut their arms.

At one point, PCH accepted them as a patient, but before transfer was arranged they rescinded the offer of a bed. I am still uncertain who made that decision and why. I believe it came from the executive level.

My family member remained in a state of limbo in an unsuitable facility and in a deteriorating state of mental health, and fluctuating physically, until recently, when the newly opened East Metropolitan Youth Unit accepted them as a patient. They had initially refused as they did not accept eating disorder patients. The only other facility which would have accepted my family member was Fiona Stanley Hospital, however they had no beds available. They were finally transferred over to the East Metropolitan Youth Unit, and this was the first time they were seen by an adolescent specialist.

They remained an inpatient for two nights and were finally discharged for care in the community, as they had been managed prior to this crisis.

I am very angry that, in my opinion, the executive of PCH discharged themselves of responsibility for my family member. The level of distress they experienced, and the length of stay they had, would have been significantly lowered, had they been in the appropriate facility. I would appreciate a review, and an explanation from the executive as to their particular rationale for their decision in this particular instance. I am appalled at the lack of compassion and appropriate response from the hospital where my family member’s treatment team practice.

Dear cygnusds65

I’m so sorry to hear about your child’s recent experience, and I thank you for providing such comprehensive and considered feedback.

Your story has been discussed extensively between executives and senior staff from Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) and CAHS mental health. In relation to the age of admission at PCH, I can advise that PCH can accept patients up until their sixteenth birthday. In relation to your concerns around your child being offered a bed at PCH and this offer then rescinded, we would need to know further information about your child to provide you with the reason for this occurring. I encourage you to contact the CAHS Child and Family Engagement Service on 6456 0032 or via to provide identifying information about your child, for us to investigate this further for you.

The Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS) Chief Executive, Dr Robyn Lawrence, has also read your feedback and has asked me to extend her thanks to you for taking the time to write to us about your experience. At CAHS, we are committed to improving the patient and family experience, and the feedback that we receive through Patient Opinion is a key mechanism through which we can improve services.

Please accept my sincere best wishes for your child.

Warm regards

Dear cygnusds65

Thank you for coming forward and sharing your story about your family member. The story was confronting and I can only apologise unreservedly for the distress that you and your family member have endured.

The East Metropolitan Health Service, which includes both Armadale and Bentley Hospitals, prides itself on providing compassionate and patient centred care. I acknowledge and accept, that on this occasion, we have got it wrong. Your family member’s story has been the subject of much discussion in our health service, including by the executive, and I have requested that the Armadale and Bentley teams explore how this situation is prevented from occurring in the future, in consultation with the other health services.

Please be assured that we are already looking at more effective and age appropriate patient pathways and would welcome the opportunity to talk with you further about your experience in order to better understand how we might make the necessary improvements. I encourage you to call me directly on 9224 2219 as your input would be invaluable.

Kind regards
