It’s official, Samsung will announce the Galaxy S9 on February 26th according to the invites being sent out this afternoon, at an event set to take place on February 26th at 4am AEDT.

The invites are being sent to media who will be attending the event on February 25th in Barcelona, Spain as well as Samsung fans back in Australia (and around the world) who will be able to tune in via a live stream of the event.

The invite is pretty clear with the use of the ‘9’ and is teasing a big change in the camera setup on the Galaxy S9 using the tagline ‘The camera. Reimagined’. What they mean by that could refer to the Galaxy S9 using a variable aperture, or the rumoured use of a dual-camera setup on the Galaxy S9+.

Samsung Australia has set up a landing page asking interested parties to register their details to be one of the first to know of any announcements from Samsung Australia.

Ausdroid will be on the ground in Barcelona to check out the Samsung launch, so if you have questions stay tuned to find out more about the latest and greatest from Samsung in the early hours of February 26th.

  • Meeks999 Meeks (@Meeks999) reported

    @JohnRHewson Using wireless now. Never bothered with NBN.

  • BRSTest1 BRSTa (@BRSTest1) reported

    @JohnRHewson I won’t be looking to upgrade my mobile during the COVID era due to working from home. I doubt I’m alone in that, so I think many of us will be looking for more NBN as it eliminates signal woes.

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @GB38251626 @jen165 @abcnews They haven't actually provided any evidence to say 90% of fttn connections support at least 50Mbps. The connection speed might be 35Mbps and NBN will say that is ok for a 50Mbps plan.

  • pfbt Marquis d'Killara (@pfbt) reported

    @JohnRHewson Hopefully, given the ripoff pricing from the @NBNCoLimited. Moving to newly opened area on edge of central west town. NBN Co took fibre just to the 50km speed limit sign ... no help to those just past that. Satellite is lame & poor value for money.

  • CMS_au CYS (@CMS_au) reported

    Issues ignored by @David_Speers and @sclark_melbs include the backflip on the NBN and Alan Tudge. What a disgrace. Left to Talking Pictures to even mention the NBN matter. #insiders

  • MurdochLowy The Dork Knight (@MurdochLowy) reported

    @JohnRHewson NBN could make 5G better by putting reliable microcells in our houses on fibre. No good on the Turnbull network though

  • artfulbungler The Artful Bungler (@artfulbungler) reported

    @johnny_doe2010 @JohnRHewson As someone on 4G home broadband because NBN is not accessible, it’s more than usable. No issues WFH and speeds good, albeit some contention occasionally. I’d still go NBN if given the opportunity, and would pay extra for more speed

  • Campbell98S Stephen (@Campbell98S) reported

    @SwannyQLD Labor better fo big or go home on FTTP NBN at the next election and bloody get someone with some sales/marketing experience to bloody craft the message. And just slaughter the LNP NBN MTM as pure **** plated policy.

No. 24 Buccaneers eliminate Paris in quarterfinals, 62-58

SHREVEPORT, La. — The No. 24 Blinn College women’s basketball team (25-6, 13-5) defeated Paris Junior College, 62-58, in the Region XIV quarterfinals Wednesday night in the Centenary College Gold Dome.

With the win, the Buccaneers advance to the Region XIV semifinals where they will face the winner of tonight’s game between Panola College and Angelina College on Friday, March 6, at 3 p.m.

“March Madness – we found a way to win – we survived and advanced,” said Jeff Jenkins, Blinn head coach. “We cannot continue to have 27 turnovers, shoot 20 percent from behind the arc, 59 percent from the free throw line, and send the opponent to the free throw line 28 times if we want to advance again.”

Hailey Atwood led Blinn’s offense with 16 points, while Kristine Ezimako followed with 12. Mia Cherry chipped in nine points, Keaundra Eddings recorded eight, and Jessica Soders and Gabriela Bosquez each tallied five.

Hailey Atwood leads Blinn with 16 points as Buccaneers move on to semifinals

Ezimako led Blinn’s offense through the first quarter with nine points for the Buccaneers to hold a 16-8 advantage. Tied 7-7 at the 3:23 mark, the Buccaneers managed a 7-0 run led by Ezimako with a layup and 3-pointer. Alex Bowman concluded the opening quarter going 2-for-4 at the free throw line.

Blinn broke open the game by going on a 10-0 run in the second quarter as Atwood led the way with six points for the Buccaneers to lead 26-11. Blinn mounted another 10-0 run thanks to a duo of 3-pointers by Eddings and Cherry for Blinn to lead 35-14. The Buccaneers led 35-18 at halftime.

The Buccaneers came out of the third quarter strong as Soders and Bosquez each made 3-pointers for Blinn to lead 41-18. A stifling Blinn defense kept Paris off the board until the 4:06 mark. The momentum shifted in the Lady Dragons’ favor as they went on a 13-1 run to trail Blinn 44-33 at the end of the quarter.

A 6-0 run led by Atwood with four points kept Blinn ahead 50-37 to begin the final quarter. Paris rallied to trail Blinn 58-51 with one minute remaining, but the Buccaneers never let go of the lead. Atwood went 2-for-2 at the free throw line and Cherry made a layup to keep Blinn on top 62-53. Paris scored the final five points in the game, but the Buccaneers fought off the Lady Dragons for the four-point win.

The Buccaneers are advancing to semifinals for the first time since 2016 when Blinn won the Region XIV Tournament and finished in the Sweet 16.

Blinn has competed in intercollegiate athletics since 1903 and captured 41 NJCAA national championships since 1987. For more information, visit

Florida Scallop

Tales of our Authentic Florida Scalloping Adventure Past

It’s early morning as we meet our boat captain at Citrus County’s Old Homosassa public dock. With a smile and a hearty “Good Morning,” he instructs our group to step carefully onto the boat, helping us on board with our dive gear in tow.

As we leave the dock, it’s obvious that we are far from alone. Florida’s scallop season is in full swing and boats are launching for the journey to the Gulf of Mexico. There is excitement in the air. We are on our way to one of Florida’s most fertile scalloping grounds.

Out on the Gulf, north of Tampa Bay, there are miles and miles of shallow grass flats. This is where we will be diving for live scallops that can fit perfectly into the palm of your hand, are grayish or orange in color and are one of Florida’s tastiest seafood delicacies.

For many, this is an annual tradition for families and friends as they gather for a day of fun on the water. We slowly motor along the Homosassa River, passing homes that are unmistakably “old Florida.”  We pass Shelly’s Fish Market, an old-timey fish shack that sells freshly caught seafood “off the dock.” Next to Shelly’s is a fleet of weather-beaten fishing vessels. In the distance are rows of stacked stone crab traps. We pass brightly colored “fish camp” homes with screened porches, painted buoys and fishnets draped over fences. There is no question that this community is all about being “on” or “in” the water.

As the homes fade away, the landscape begins to become more natural. After all, this is the Nature Coast. We cruise through a labyrinth of marshes dotted by islands of the state tree, the Sabal Palm. This Florida wilderness is distinctly unique, with its undeveloped wild and scenic ecosystem. Hammock and mangrove islands dot the landscape and we pass a giant osprey nest nestled into a channel marker. We gawk at the nest, really a work of art particularly when the newborn babies peak out of the sticks, twigs and branches that form the nest.

Monkey Island at Homosassa, Citrus County

We also spot Monkey Island, a tiny chunk of land sitting in the Homosassa River. Monkeys climb on platforms, swing from ropes, and clamber around the base of a small replica lighthouse. The surrounding water discourages the monkeys from leaving, and a ring of floats and barriers discourages boaters from landing on the island or approaching the animals. Numerous signs warn that trespassing or feeding the monkeys is illegal, and that the island is under 24-hour video surveillance.

In the 1960s, Monkey Island was just a jumble of rocks in the river that submerged during high tide, a hazard to small boats. Dirt was dredged onto the rocks, and the resulting visible lump was made more picturesque with some plant life, trees and a lighthouse.

The monkeys were added later, moved from a nearby wildlife attraction, and have remained a popular draw to the area (which is otherwise focused on manatee tours). They are fed twice daily, and have free run of the island.

As we continue westward along the river, the driver increases speed and cranks up the radio. We all grin as we enjoy the music, but it is a dolphin that got our attention. It began following us, jumping in and out of the waves … a Florida experience we never can get enough of.

Snorkelers swim on the surface looking for scallops

Once out on the Gulf of Mexico, it’s easy to spot the scalloping grounds.  A slew of boats are anchored, dive flags float nearby while snorkels skim the surface.

The sounds of summer fun are in the air – the experience is much like a saltwater tailgate party.

One thing is certain: Everyone is having a great time! It’s a wonderful family bonding adventure.

Boats gather for a day of scalloping

Who wouldn’t be happy out here? The early morning water is picture perfect, almost glassy, and perfectly calm, without a cloud in the sky and the horizon and sky meet seamlessly.

Scallops hide in or top of the seagrass

Down below, the crystal clear water provides a perfect view of nature’s aquarium, where we watch billowing pastures of manatee grass interspersed with patches and valleys of sandy bottoms. The grass is where the scallops are hiding. Often they sit on top of the grass, but are easiest to spot where the sand meets the edge of the grass beds.

As we hang over the side, the captain shuts off the engine and allows the boat to gently drift over the grass beds, as we look for signs of scallops. The depth ranges from four to six feet deep. When enough scallops are spotted in one area, the captain anchors the boat so we can begin our first dive.

Snorkelers gear up for a day of scalloping

We put on our diving gear – masks, snorkel, fins, mesh dive bags and gloves. The captain instructs us to use the ladder or jump into the water reminding us to swim on the water’s surface, peering below for scallops. Sometimes they are in reach, other times, we dive under to grab them.

It’s the neon blue eyes that pop through the scallop opening that catch our eyes. We grab them, placing the delectable mollusks into our scallop bags. The experience is akin to a salt water Easter egg hunt.

It feels a lot like being at an underwater marine museum. We were fortunate enough to see starfish, coral, seahorses, turtles, fish of all kinds – needlefish, pinfish, sea trout and minnows – and so much more. Seagrass beds are very productive ecosystems that support an abundance of sea life. As if all of this weren’t enough, you may even see an occasional manatee swim by munching on the grasses on their way to a local spring.

One of the reasons this area is so ideal for scalloping is the abundance of fresh water springs flowing into the area. Coastal marshes serve as filters creating a unique ecosystem of sparkling fresh water mixing with the salt water of the Gulf of Mexico creating fertile seagrasses and prime scalloping grounds.

However, be forewarned … scalloping is addictive! The more you find, the more you want. But, there are limits. Two gallons of whole scallops are allowed per person or one pint of scallop meat per person … it’s the law.

Once scallops are cleaned, they are placed on ice

Once scallops are brought to the boat, they are placed on ice and cleaned. An oyster knife helps pry open the scallop and remove the precious white meat.

Many local restaurants will cook your fresh scallops, but call ahead to check

Back on shore, many local restaurants will cook the scallops (for an extra charge). It’s best to call ahead and make sure. Some families haul grills with them and cook outside their hotel rooms. You don’t need many ingredients, just add butter and a little seasoning and you have a scrumptious five-star meal.

If you are looking for delicious, Florida scallop and seafood recipes, check out this article we wrote about two fabulous Florida cookbooks: http://www.authenticflorida.com/articles/things-to-do/a-tale-of-two-florida-cookbooks/

What to Know If You Go

  • Best Days To Go Scalloping: Weekdays, try to avoid the weekend crowds
  • Scalloping is legal from the Florida Panhandle Mexico Beach Canal around the Big Bend to down to Pasco County.
  • It is illegal to possess bay scallops on waters outside open harvest areas or during the closed season.
  • Legal Gear: Harvest permitted only by hand or by using a landing or dip net
  • Commercial harvest prohibited.
  • Recreational harvesters need a Florida saltwater fishing license to harvest bay scallops unless they are 1. exempt from needing a license or 2. have a no-cost shoreline fishing license and are wading from shore to collect scallops (i.e. feet do not leave bottom to swim, snorkel, or SCUBA and harvesters do not use a vessel to reach or return from the harvest location).

Consult the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation for more information.

Finding a Tour Guide:

A complete tour should include snorkeling equipment, ice chests for preserving the catch and drinks during the trip. Any regular boat tour must also include a fishing license, because this is a legal requirement to go scalloping in Florida.

Tours of this sort include Seahorse Water Safaris (seahorsewatersafaris.com), Sunshine River Tours (sunshinerivertours.com) and Aqua Marine Images (aquamarineimages.com).

Generally, a guide will charge $50-$75 per person for a half-day trip

Citrus County Scallop Packages (includes lodging):

The 50-year old Plantation Resort has been hosting divers and scallopers for years. The easy access to Crystal River’s Kings Bay and springs allows boats to take visitors for tours of all kinds – dive trips, manatee swims, and scalloping tours. The Plantation Scalloping Packages include a two-night stay with breakfast, guided scalloping trip, 1 dinner where the restaurant, West 82 Grill will cook your scallop catch. If you want a sneak peek, check out their live river cam: http://www.plantationoncrystalriver.com/rivercam.htm

An alternative to the Plantation is Crystal River’s Holiday Inn Express. It’s clean and has weekday scalloper rates.

Some Citrus County restaurants that will cook your scallop catch: Charlie’s Fish House, Riverside Bar & Grill, Dan’s Clam Stand, Peck’s Old Port Cove, Oysters of Crystal River

More Florida scallop destinations:

Steinhatchee, Dixie County

For Dixie County’s Steinhatchee area, consider starting at the Sea Hag Marina or the River Haven Marina. Try Captains Steve Rassel or Randall Hewitt (call Sea Hag Marina) for scalloping. The Sea Hag Marina also has a fleet of 24-foot rental boats for those that want to venture on their own.

Sea Hag Marina, Steinhatchee

St. Joseph Bay, Gulf County (Florida Panhandle)

On the Florida Panhandle, Gulf County is a go-to place for scalloping. Port St. Joe is the main town and St. Joseph Bay is the scalloping area. What is unique about this area is that if you don’t want to bother with a boat, you can easily access the shallow scalloping areas by wading in. Drive along the coastal Highway 98, look for crowds of people, (which usually means they have found scallops), park your car on the side of the road, and wade in with your buckets! (Make sure you have your license.) Another place to go is St. Joseph’s Peninsula State Park, where there is easy access to the bay.

Gulf County

In Gulf County, if you want to enjoy the adventure on the water, many fishing guides will take you out. Happy Ours Kayaking will do guided scallop trips (via kayak). Sea Horse Water Safaris will rent boats and Daly’s Dock & Dive will rent inflatable boats

Places to Stay and Seafood Restaurants (that will cook your fresh scallops)

Steinhatchee, Dixie County

For authentic Florida lodging, the Sea Hag Marina rents brightly colored “fish camp” cottages directly across the street.

Sea Hag Marina Cottages, Steinhatchee

Steinhatchee restaurants Fiddler’s Restaurant and Roy’s will cook your fresh scallops and both specialize in fresh seafood.

Port St. Joe, Gulf County

Recommended places to stay in the main town of Port St. Joe are Port Inn & Cottages, for more moderate pricing, Tiki Palms Inn B & B, or the upscale Turtle Beach Inn, east of Port St. Joe on Indian Pass. St. Joseph Peninsula State Park has wonderful cabins, but requires advance reservations. Additionally, many individual properties are available for rent situated on or near the bay.

St. Joseph Bay, St. Joseph Peninsula State Park

Port St. Joe’s Dockside Seafood and Raw Bar and the Sunset Coastal Grill will cook your fresh-caught scallops. Mexico Beach’s Fish House will do the same.

Pasco County

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s approval of a 10-day trial season for state waters off Pasco opens a fresh opportunity for boaters and divers that was traditionally restricted.

Scalloper, courtesy of Visit Pasco

The season adds yet another attraction to the area’s popular fishing draw and pristine beaches including Anclote Key Preserve State Park off the New Port Richey coastline. Visitors launching from the Port Richey boat ramp will find expanded offerings along the waterfront including the new Whiskey Joe’s Bar & Grill.

Unveiling the Secrets of Keeping Your Old Folks Happy!

Parents are a blessing. However, amid our everyday busy, routine lives, we often forget that and take them for granted. This contributes to them feeling lonely—and even depressed—at times. In fact, the American Psychological Association states that 15% to 20% of people over the age of 65 suffer from depression.

This is heartbreaking, especially when we know that it doesn’t take much to make our old folks happy!

So, if you want to prevent your lovely parents from falling into a swamp of sadness and despondency, let us tell you some secrets that’ll keep them smiling forever!

Spending Quality Time:

The leading cause of depression among elderly people is loneliness; so it would make sense that what they need in their graying years is company. And because, as your parents, they love and value you the most, it’s a given that it’s your company that they crave.

Sure, your daily life is a chore and you don’t even have time for yourself, but you need to make it happen! Pay them a surprise visit, take them shopping, call them from work! Just let them know they aren’t alone and that they’re always on your mind.

Make Them Feel Needed:

It’s one thing to spend time with your parents, and another to make them feel needed. Most elderly folks tend to feel redundant and even like they’re a burden on society and their loved ones. This can cause self-hatred and loss of self-worth.

Don’t let your dear parents spiral into that black hole, because you know you need them! Ask them for advice; repeatedly tell them in passing how you can’t manage your life without their guidance and support. Talk to them about work and how to raise kids. Make them feel responsible for your achievements. Give them a purpose to live for!

Provide Them with Comfort and Care:

Your parents have done so much for you! It’s time you pay them back. As senior citizens, your parents need extra care and support when it comes to living everyday life. Provide them with living conditions that don’t decrease the quality of their life or standard of living.

If you know anything about your parents, you must be familiar with the fact that they’re more or less set in their ways. So find a living arrangement that is tailored to their specific needs and preferences so they feel valued and cared for at all times, even when you’re not there.

If you’re living for such a living arrangement in Studio City, CA; you don’t need to look further! We at AvantGarde Senior Living and Memory Care, is a senior living community that provides comfortable senior living plans for your old folks, ranging from independent living to assisted living.

Just contact us and provide your elderly parents with care and happiness that they deserve!

Day 1 – 4/20 through 4/21 – Getting to Oma’s

The blog posts are finally being entered. To make sure everyone is confused I am back-dating them. Pictures will follow eventually.

Friday evening and Saturday morning sort of blended together in one gigantic blur. Arrived at the airport with out incident, opted to check our luggage and just carryon our backpacks, and then proceeded to spend half an hour in the airport Borders. We then sat and numbly watched the Iraqi psychic talk to CNN until a gunman took over a building at NASA. Details were vague by the time we boarded our plane around 4 pm and none seemed to be readily forthcoming or available.

The flight itself was neither good, nor bad, but flying makes it so. There were no overly obnoxious small children, no annoyingly over attentive flight attendants, no amazingly great meals and no great shows on the in-flight entertainment. I had already seen “Night at the Museum” it was pretty good the first time, but on an even smaller, more distant, airplane screen, nothing really came to life the way it did the first time.

We arrived in Frankfurt at 5:30 am Saturday. At least, I think it was Saturday. There were no incidents in passport control, the baggage claim, or customs. Our passports were good, our baggage showed up, and we had nothing to declare –except that I loathe sitting for six solid hours, but the German government doesn’t care about that.

The 6:09 am train was a little too early to be reasonable, so we settled for the 7:09 ICE from Frankfurt flughafen to Koln. Gavin declared he could travel in style, ICE first class, indefinitely. We arrived in Koln at around 8 am, and walked outside to see the Dom. I left Gavin with the luggage and ran back a few yards to try and fit it all in the view finder of the camera, no such luck. I guess I’ll have to piece it together later.

We caught the 8:32 RE to Bad Godesberg. It took almost as long to get from Koln to BG as it had to get from Frankfurt to Koln. It was slow, it took forever. When we did finally arrive at the BG train station, none of the luggage assistance belts were functioning so we got to carry our bags down and up the stairs.

I did not want to deal with the bus at 9 am on a Saturday, so we took the only taxi waiting by the station up the “largish hill” to where Oma lives. The weather was beautiful. The sun shone brightly, everything was vibrant and lush. We rolled our suitcases down the hedge lined paths, up to Oma’s door and rang the bell.

It was 9:30 am. No one answered. Slightly concerned I had confused dates, times and locations in some previous correspondence, I began to hunt for a possible spare key. Before I could take a peek at the large pot on the doorstep, a rapping noises and a “HELLO-o” grabbed our attention.

Oma had just been upstairs, preoccupied, and didn’t move as quickly as she used to. We were greeted with another exuberant “Hello-o!” hugs, and apologies of not getting to the door more quickly. We went in, and Gavin was informed he should “Just follow Kindli, she knows where everything goes,” so Gavin dutifully followed me up stairs to the guest room, and then on a tour of the house.

Part way through our tour, Uncle Bernie arrived and he and Oma got into a discussion about cell phones. Then we all sat down for tea (for Oma and Uncle B.), and water for Gavin and myself. We showed Oma the Boston book we had brought for her, and the brightly colored TEXAS themed apron mom had sent with us. Oma was quite excited with both and tried on the apron at once, it was quite something.

After tea, Gavin, Oma and I walked to the grocery store to get lunch makings. Gavin marveled at the wide variety of unique and differently processed meats, and the unique array of frozen pizzas. “The Boston Spinach pizza was… different.” I agree, and am perpetually shocked to see the “tun-fish pizza.”

As Oma peddled off on her little bicycle (“I must be able to put my feet on the ground easily” she explained), Gavin and I went on a short walk around the Heiderhoff, the community where Oma lives. We went past the Catholic School, the playground with the slide and hut, the other playground near the forest and the other school, a few more sand-pit playgrounds, and finally back, past the dog to Oma’s back gate. I will eventually include pictures of some of these great landmarks.

Lunch was around 1. At Oma’s, lunch is the large “hot” meal of the day. Lunch was rouladen (that day it was thinly sliced beef rolled up with carrots and italian ham inside, but Oma frequently varies it), rosti (“better than hashbrowns”-like potatoes), and a large salad (the remains of the sald making process went to the shildkruter next door). Dessert was strawberries and cream.

Not long after lunch, Gavin and I scrapped the idea of “staying up until 10 and then going to bed then.” We had moved the time forward to 9, then to 8:30. At 2:30 we gave up. I was seeing triple and Gavin was about to nod off reading Harry Potter on his Nokia.

I vaguley remember waking up at 5:30 for something, for some reason the number sticks in my head. We didn’t get back downstairs until about 8, Gavin had showered, and I was feeling much more awake. There was a note by the phone that Oma and Uncle B. had gone for a walk, but they were back and having dinner at the table.

The were thilled to see we were awake. Apparently Mom had called while we were asleep, and Oma didn’t want to wake us. Dinner was brotchen with kase and liverwurst, Gavin just had his brotchen with butter, and I skipped the kase.

After dinner we watched TV with Oma. Some CNN, some BBC, and finally some of a German variety show that was an evil cross between America’s Funniest Home Video’s and Candid Camera, it was called “Ferstehen Sie Spass?” (Do You Understand a Joke?). My favorite was where people were blindfolded and told they were testing a lipbalm and then kissed Herr Mortiz the Chimp.

We did get to bed by about 10, or 10:15, our origionally intended bedtime.

Couples Clearing

Perhaps the single most destructive element in intimate relating is the buildup, over time, of unresolved hurts, resentments and fears. These withheld communications eventually form a wall between partners and “fix” our loved ones into a certain position in our minds. We then begin to relate through these filters as if they were reality. The result is we and our partners feel unheard and unseen, and distance and bitterness replace intimacy and sweetness. The full expression and hearing of what has been withheld allows a space to be cleared for us to recapture the connection and free our partners, and ourselves, from the imprisonment of these illusions. This enables us to effectively deal with differences that arise before they turn into problems.

Withheld communication creates stagnation and energetic drain in relationship. The symptoms of this may include:
– Increasing attempts to dialogue that turn into arguments
– Persistent arguments over the same issue that do not result in resolution
– Formation of polarities such as “I’m right – you’re wrong”
– Increasing perception of the partner as enemy
– Loss of tenderness, appreciation, and sexual connection

As withheld communication is expressed, there is an energetic opening in the relationship. As the partners experience being heard and received, defensive positions relax. When everything is out in the open, we see more clearly what the real issues are, and what will be required from each partner to take the relationship to the next level.

If you and your partner are stuck, or wanting to break cleanly, or good and want to get better, this work can be a powerful aid.

The process begins with a brief individual interview with each participant. This usually lasts 15-30 minutes and can be done by telephone. Next, each participant is given a written assignment to complete. Then we meet together for an intensive session – 2-3 hours is average. Often a one-hour follow up session is recommended two weeks later. FEES: $120 per hour, including interview time.

My wife and I were able to encounter each other in a way that we have not previously achieved since we have known each other. I feel greatly encouraged, hopeful, and optimistic that we can continue to build on this foundation and move forward for everyone’s mutual benefit. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible work that you have done to help us get to this point. I honestly don’t think that we could have gotten here without you. – Will, Psychiatrist

AWFJ Women On Film – “Robin Hood” – Review by Susan Granger

0 Flares 0 Flares ×

Bid farewell to fond fantasies of Robin and his Merry Men romping through Sherwood Forest. Re-teaming with his “Gladiator” star Russell Crowe, Ridley Scott has envisioned a grim, un-romantic ‘origin’ tale serving as a prequel to the classic folklore, explaining why and how orphaned archer Robin Longstride became England’s legendary outlaw.

Returning in 1199 A.D. from his Third Crusade, King Richard the Lion-Heart (Danny Huston) dies in battle. Brawny Robin Longstride retrieves the fallen crown and, assuming the identity of a fallen knight, Sir Robert Loxley, returns it to Richard’s mother, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (Eileen Atkins), who passes it on to her last remaining son, the wastrel Prince John (Oscar Isaac). Accompanied by his loyal cohorts – Will Scarlet (Scott Grimes) and Little John (Kevin Durand) – Robin then fulfills a deathbed promise to Loxley by riding to impoverished Nottingham to return a family sword to elderly Sir Walter Loxley (Max Von Sydow), who reveals Robin’s murky origins. He also falls in love with the dead knight’s high-spirited, tough-minded widow, Lady Marion (Cate Blanchett), who agrees that Robin must continue to impersonate her husband so she can claim the Loxley land. Meanwhile in London, King John is duped by the duplicity of his bilingual advisor (Mark Strong) leading up to a French invasion of England’s coastline as rebellious Robin spearheads a Saxon peasant revolution.

Screenwriters Brian Helgeland, Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris deliver a joyless, character-driven medieval history lesson, filled with serious declamations about oppression, individual rights and justice, leading up to the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215. Ridley Scott adds an inordinate amount of realistic, graphic violence, reminiscent not only of “Gladiator” but also “Saving Private Ryan.” While the lengthy, detail-oriented production is visually splendid, Russell Crowe is almost devoid of charisma, barely sparking with Cate Blanchett.

On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, “Robin Hood” is a savage 6, burdened, perhaps, by swashbuckling cultural expectations that hark back to fun, far different interpretations by Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Errol Flynn, Richard Greene, Sean Connery and Kevin Costner.

You know none of this makes sense

We only saw them armed once

Only once did they do

A armed sweep :broom:

I mean who the fuck are they

These guys are not doctors or police but sweepers or operatives

Regular doctors don’t carry guns, that’s for sure. It goes against the Hippocratic oath.

Not necessarily

MSS taking out the ones who leaked Caronavirus

That would explain the people in the elevators cctv spreading it around the city

This is coordinated bio terrorism

Two QBZ-95 and what look like QSZ-92 handguns

…the plot thickens. :thinking:

One of the GIs with the pistols could be a medic or something similar

We’re technically not allowed to act offensively, however we are allowed to fire defensively and even offensively at the risk of our own Geneva Convention protection

If they are a medic or anything medical. They should have the one piece coveralls on

Not everyone plays by the rules

I have a few SGTs, SSGs, and SFCs that told us stories about times they “turned off the body cam”

That’s fine…
but a medic would want to wear a full one piece coverall for his own health protection. He will know that blue apron stuff is bullshit and he could get the virus. So I don’t think they medical.

And they’re so comfortable with the guns. :thinking:

He *would know

That could be all they offer or had available

Wuhan has an entirely operational SWAT and Bomb Squad Unit. These 3 guys are totally MSS and hunting for individuals related to the leak.

And yes even though we’re Doc, we know that rifle/pistol/etc is whats really going to stop a threat

Here’s an official WHO study

⤻ reposted @themike27 to Here’s an official WHO study

This is the response I’m getting: this isn’t even a factually based chart.

As best I can tell, it reflects all of the available information in the public domain. What it does not reflect, is that the actual situation in China could be MUCH worse than what is being reported.

Who’s saying that? Would be trivial to create a website listing sources for those facts and writing it on a new version of the graphic

Btw I think we should call people who spread the flu meme “floomers”

As in “ok floomer”

I’m on all these mommy groups and they are still in denial

This is for you Aries

I went to the website at the bottom of the graphic. Tons of sources. Just tell them to visit the link and scroll down. Here:

Worry for yourself people in New York are to arrogant and Ignorant… They will see you prepared and laugh but when that first person drops they will be running to you for support but by then it will be to late.

Rem there are only 850 people in this chat of billions of people we are the lucky few.

I documented my daily procedures a little bit hope this is useful to someone.

Feel free to let me know what to improve.

Driving Safety Home - Helping your teenager establish safe driving habits

Driving Safety Home 2015

By Dallas Hammit
State Engineer/Deputy Director for Transportation

There are several reasons parents and guardians should help their teenagers establish safe driving habits – one of the best is that it can make a real, lasting difference.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “self-reported surveys show that teens whose parents impose driving restrictions and set good examples typically engage in less risky driving and are involved in fewer crashes.”

What we say and do matters, which is why I’m encouraging you to make time to talk with your teenagers about their driving behaviors to help guide them to become safer motorists.

Not sure how to start the conversation? There are a number of online resources designed to steer parents in a good direction. One of those sites comes from the NHTSA and is aimed at parents who want to set good ground rules for their teen drivers.

On the NHTSA site, you’ll also find information on the “5 to Drive” campaign, which addresses the five most dangerous and deadly behaviors for teen drivers, including alcohol use, texting, speeding, failure to use seatbelts and riding with extra teen passengers.

Of course, setting a positive example for any young future drivers is so important. We can all do our part by buckling up, obeying the speed limit and putting down the cell phone or mobile device while driving.

Baby Safety: Indoors

cribbumpers150x100All over the news lately, as momentum builds to stop the use and sales of these unnecessary and dangerous products.   Do not use crib bumpers as they pose suffocation, strangulation and choking hazards to infants. Additionally, crib bumpers pose fall hazards to older babies who can pull up to a stand and use the bumper pads as footing to catapult out of the crib – possibly facing severe injuries from a fall.

Crib bumpers or bumper pads are a product parents commonly think increases the safety of their child's crib. However, it is rare for contact between a baby and the sides of the crib to cause long-term injury, and soft products and bedding in the sleep environment are a risk for both SIDS and suffocation.

Infants have been known to suffocate from wedging the face against a crib bumper, from becoming wedged between the bumper and another object, and from the bumper tie wrapping around an infant’s neck. Crib bumpers also reduce the flow of fresh air around a baby during sleep. This may be a contributing factor to SIDS, as some babies may be unable to wake themselves enough to prevent hypoxia if they overheat or lack sufficient oxygen during sleep.

It is important to distinguish between SIDS and suffocation. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden death of an apparently healthy infant under one year of age that remains unexplained after an autopsy, examination of the death scene and review of the baby’s health history. There is no known way to prevent all cases of SIDS, but one of the steps parents and caregivers can take to reduce risk is removing soft bedding from a baby’s crib.

It is only through a comprehensive death scene investigation that unintentional suffocation can be distinguished from SIDS or intentional suffocation (homicides). Even with a complete investigation, it is still difficult or impossible to determine the manner of many suffocation deaths. However, the majority of unintentional suffocations among infants happen while they are in unsafe sleeping environments.

A study in the September 2007 issue of The Journal of Pediatrics concludes that the risk of death or injury from crib bumpers outweighs their benefits.

Safe Kids USA’s policy is that parents and caregivers should not use any type of crib bumpers. Similarly, they should remove pillows, loose sheets, blankets, stuffed toys, sleep positioners and all other soft products from the crib before putting a baby to sleep.

Can Different Species of Bees Mate?

Ask the Expert!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Bill asks: Can different species of bees mate? For example, will an Italian queen mate with a New World Carniolan drone? Or visa versa?

Rusty Burlew replies:

Different species of honey bees cannot successfully mate with each other. Although exceptions exist in the animal world, the ability to mate and produce viable offspring is what defines a species. An interesting example of an exception is the mule, which results from crossing a male donkey with a female horse. The mule survives but is nearly always sterile because the chromosomes are not compatible. To get another mule, you would need to make another cross.

More to the point, Apis dorsata cannot mate with Apis mellifera, and Apis cerana cannot mate with Apis florea because they are all different species. But that’s not what you’re asking. Instead, you are asking about sub-species, sometimes referred to as races. An Italian queen and a New World Carniolan are merely different races of one species, Apis mellifera, and they are completely capable of interbreeding.

In fact, they cross so easily and so often, that most taxonomists do not believe we still have any true sub-species of Apis mellifera in the Americas. In Europe, they can still be found in certain regions. Italians belong to the subspecies Apis mellifera ligustica and Carniolans are Apis mellifera carnica. Many, many years ago both of these subspecies, as well as several others, were imported to North American from Europe.

However, the Honey Bee Act of 1922, enacted during an influx of tracheal mites, closed US borders to the further importation of bees into this country in an effort to stem the flow of diseases and pathogens. The Honey Bee act is still enforced, so all the bees in North America today are descendants of bees that arrived before 1922. Those bees have crossed and re-crossed so many times that it is virtually impossible that the subspecies are any longer separate.

Although we still talk about (and buy) certain breeding lines, they are usually just yellow bees, which we call Italians, and black bees, which we call Carniolans. It’s a marketing thing more than a real thing. In fact, several recent DNA studies have shown that we can’t separate these bees based on genetics because their populations have become totally intermixed. Beekeepers still ascribe all sorts of characteristics to these lines, while taxonomists just shake their heads. Like with climate change and other controversial subjects, you will find those who believe the subspecies still exist and those who don’t.

To be totally fair, there have been some incursions of new DNA since 1922. One was the influx of African genes from Apis mellifera scutellata into Brazil in 1956. They hybridized with local bees and their progeny arrived in Texas in 1990. Also, in recent years, some bee researchers were allowed to import a small amount of sperm (no live bees) from Europe to use in breeding programs.

  1. Don’t Miss a Bill Payment – Missing or skipping a payment on a credit card or loan can negatively affect your credit. If you miss your payments over a long period of time, the debt may be transferred to a collection agency which will also negatively impact your credit.
  2. Don’t Max Out Your Credit Cards – Using the full amount of credit that has been given to you may negatively impact your score because it looks as though you are relying on it. Using under 30% at any given time shows that you are responsibly using the credit while still being able to pay for things out of pocket too.
  3. Don’t Take Cash Advances – This may seem like a convenient idea, but it actually costs you a lot more in the long run. There is usually a fee associated with a cash advance and it is most likely going to have a higher interest rate than your normal credit card purchases.
  4. Don’t Chase Rates – If you’ve already got debt and you see that you could open a new card with a lower interest rate; it may be tempting to just transfer your current balance to the new lower rated card. This twice about this plan, opening a new card can lower your credit score (if too many companies check it at the same time) and transferring a balance usually comes with a fee.
  5. Don’t Stop Using Your Credit Cards – If you don’t use a card for some time, the creditor might mark it as “inactive” and stop reporting the account. This can result in a lowered age on the account which can lower your credit score.
  6. Don’t Apply For Lots Of Credit Cards At Once – When you fill out a credit card application, the inquiry into your credit report lowers your score by a few points. When you are shopping around, having many inquires within a short period of time will multiply the effect.
  7. Don’t Spread Out Mortgage Or Auto Loan Applications To Protect Your Credit – Researching into mortgages and auto loans has a different impact on your credit than credit cards. It is understood that for larger purchases you will want to look around for the best rates. You should, however, keep this research to within a month’s time to have it be considered one inquiry.
  8. Don’t Co-Sign Someone Else’s Loan – Co-signing for someone else’s loan is essentially using your credit to help someone, that otherwise would not be approved, get approval for a loan. This is always a risky move because if the person does not pay back the loan or is late with payments, it will negatively impact your credit as well.
  9. Don’t Forget To Monitor Your Credit To Catch Errors Or Fraud – It is pretty simple to sign up for credit monitoring for a small fee. By having your credit monitored, you will be notified at any point that your information changes. If you didn’t initial that change, you are then able to take quick action to stop any potential damage. It is your decision whether the extra safeguard is worth the financial cost.
  10. Don’t Pay For A Credit Repair Service – A credit repair service can usually be considered a waste of your money. If you have negative marks on your credit because of your own actions, or inactions, then these cannot be removed. If you have negative marks on your credit that is not accurate, then you have the ability to remove them yourself by calling and disputing it.

Vicki vs Bogotá: Operation High Heels

My name is Vicki and I’m a conformist. That’s not a state of affairs I’m particularly proud of, it just happens to be true.

I have a natural aversion to rocking the boat, an aversion which manifests itself in everything – accent, fashion, manner, food. It’s probably why I fit in so well in Colombian society – an entity which hardly lends itself to smashing through the norm.

Accent is a good example. I’ve lived in numerous places with numerous different accents yet each time I’ve felt my own slide into place. I couldn’t even tell you what my original accent sounds like these days – I guess it’s now the neutral English of a Brit abroad, splattered with the obligatory Colombianisms.

I wear the clothes of a Bogotá girl, or I did, which is the regulation tight jeans, boots and leather jacket and I am pleasant to people, even if they behave outrageously (Keep me waiting an hour? No problem. Let me down completely? No problem) I couldn’t even tell you a single food I dislike, which makes me a distinctly uncomplicated dinner party guest.

It may surprise you to learn that I possess somewhat radical political views, mostly because I refuse to write about them. The few times I’ve been compelled to write a controversial Banana Skin Flip Flops I’ve decided against publishing it, telling myself that writing it was enough to “get it out of my system” I generally only discuss politics with people I trust to be detached. The moment I sense an exploratory debate has become a battle of wills, I bow gracefully away.

I realised my conformity in Cuba, when a friend commented on how I’d lost my British sharpness, my dryness, my sarcasm.  She was right – I’ve forgotten how to banter, how to truly tease, how to gently mock. Even my visa official, whilst rubber stamping my two-year extension, asked me why I was so nervous. “Because I’m not from here,” I replied, even though we both knew that wasn’t really true. My Britishness is a mere technicality these days. I can’t remember the last time I sent a Facebook message that didn’t contain a smiley face.

Inevitably, though, I snapped. I snapped in a shoe shop, in El Salvador of all places, where for some reason I’d decided to try a pair of three-inch high heels, maybe four-inches. The sort of shoe I wore in England but would never dare to wear in Bogotá. Suddenly I thought of all the sacrifices I’ve made for my Colombian life. All the times I’ve smiled sweetly at “Que pena,” or “Lo que pasó es que,” or “No alcanzo,” (all indications that you are about to be let down) particularly now I am back in the city’s dating game, where repeat cancellations are all part of the fun.

“Oh screw it,” I thought. I didn’t just buy the high heels I was wearing. I bought two other pairs too and swore I would wear my new heels every time I went out in Bogotá. A friend once told me make-up was a mask, designed to put distance between yourself and others. Well, my new shoes are my mask – a gentle reminder to stop me conforming. I love Colombia and I love this city like no other, but I love my own culture too. I’m proud of my values. I don’t want to lose them.

Of course, it’s ridiculous. The first time I wore my ‘skyscrapers’ to a pub in the Zona T, I went with a friend. He thinks being around me is a bit like being around a Great Dane anyway and, sure enough, the first time I stood up a man said “Shit” very audibly. I’ve since trotted up the 85 looking not unlike a giraffe and last week a man pretended to mistake me for a supermodel, which was great considering that besides being 6’4” in heels, I am also 30 and very fond of Dunkin Donuts.

More importantly, the psychology is working. Last week, a Colombian invited me for coffee, in the usual vague way. Normally I would be equally vague in reply, but I happened to be wearing the tallest of my new high heels. “Okay,” I said. “But I am very busy. When were you thinking?” He looked shocked before reaching for his Blackberry. “Erm, maybe Wednesday?” he said. “Okay,” I replied. “But you’ll have to confirm on Tuesday.” I watched as he carefully wrote “Confirm Victoria coffee,” on the Tuesday of his phone diary. I honestly think it was the first time he’d used it.

Needless to say I am still waiting for that coffee confirmation, nevermind the coffee, but I feel strangely good about it. I’ve learned in the past that breaking Bogotá’s strict dating code is a recipe for disaster but, equally, I’m worried what I’ll become if I keep conforming – in every area of my life here. So I’m going to keep my high heels and hopefully a bit of my Britishness and if I seem complicated, well, at least I’ll still have that famous sense of humour. It’s probably the best part of me anyway.

Like this? You’ll love Colombia a comedy of errors.

  1. Steve Baker

    Excellent piece as always. One other aspect that I have found is that as an extranjero in Bogotá I am not allowed to cancel or postpone dates/appointments. I have had people sulk for two weeks because i cancelled dates at the last minute. Although it is perfectly acceptable for others to cancel on me at short notice, leaving me playing wistfully with a rapidly emptying beer bottle at a bar. I have learnt, never to turn up early these days, just in case the “Que Pena” telephone call is made.
    Keep up the good work. Having seen you near Calle 57, you must be an imposing sight to most Colombian males in your new 3″ heels.

  2. Michael

    How about a bit of that Dunkirk spirit , go all the way and get some 6 inch heels . That should scare anyone into not cancelling at the last minute . Always pick a place where you can have a cold beer and watch the people going by , you never know your luck and you might meet someone better . With your new 6″ talcones , go for a walk down the center of CLL 116 and wait for all the car crashes . Have a great day .

    1. bananaskinflipflops

      Haha, yesterday I followed your advice. I was supposed to meet someone in the Zona T at 5pm so I thought: “That will be at least 6pm,” so, while I arrived on time (British) I decided to go shopping, bought myself a beautiful new coat, called at 6pm to be told: “Oh I’m in Cedritos – aka 60 blocks away – can we meet here instead?” I was wearing my new heels so needless to say I declined, but I remain delighted with my new coat! I think the trick is not to take your dating life too seriously. It is a big city after all 🙂

  3. Ceri

    Absolutely love this and resonated with it *so* much.

    For the record, I only started wearing heels here too because I’ve been a little self-conscious of my height (but at 5’8″ I guess I’m nowhere near you).

    But I do find it strange to hold on to some of my Britishness sometimes. All of my friends here are either Mexican or American. My accent’s a mess and I’m picking up so many different habits from both Mexico and the US that I wonder whether people will recognise me when I return to the UK for a while.

  4. uncovercolombia

    Hi Vicky, great article as always. Your tale is exactly the opposite to us when we relocated to London from Bogota. It is important to adapt to the local culture and live like the locals (go to the pub, understand the British sense of humour and social rules). There is no point on longing for home, weather or food. However, there is always a part of you that needs to remain true to your roots and origins. That’s what makes us special in a foreign land… here goes the smiley face 😉 Looking forward to your next post

  5. edo

    Great post Vicky, I enjoyed reading it! I can related to the conformism “phenomenon” I am a Colombian living abroad… One thing that I learned though… We cannot fully forget who we are, and where we come from 🙂

  6. Lucas Serrano

    I have many friends from abroad, and most of them agree that the exciting thing about Colombia is the fact that they can indulge in guilty pleasures they could otherwise could not (if they were in their own countries). It is amazing how we welcome people from other places, even thinking about the word “foreigner” sounds harsh. Nevertheless there are some things that we cannot mask or betray that are natural to us. “Pelamos el cobre” really often. As easygoing as you may be, showing up on time is definitely a matter of respecting others and their time. But let’s face it, we Colombians have in excuses what we lack in skill in many fields. It’s always great to have a plan B, don’t be afraid to doublebook your days and make both nearby. As you know by know, chances are people are going to be late or might not show up at all, so you can extend your coffee with a friend. I like your blog a lot, and would definitely like to meet you.

  7. Lala

    Great post! Having left Bogota at age 20 I never really got much into the dating scene there, but I totally get you in the “dating game”. The high heels were definitely a huge assertiveness booster! But I also think that it has to do with age and experiences. Being 32 myself, I feel that for the first time in my life I’m comfortable enough in my own skin, and most importantly, confident enough to know what I want and to not just settle for “meh, good enough”. 🙂

The Missional, Merciful, Worshipful Christian (Part 2 of 4)

[If you haven’t read Part 1, I advise you to a take a few minutes to do so before reading on…]

The second problematic tendency is the opposite of the first. Instead of disrespecting our brothers and sisters of another ilk, we respect them so much that we justify our weak points. We assume that God called them to do pretty much all the evangelism or social justice or intimate worship. “That’s their ministry, their gift, what God called them to do. Thank God because I’m no good at that stuff.” I think it’s ill-advised to so focus our attention on one tool with that we abdicate responsibility to those with a more developed use of the other tools. Though some are more gifted and compelled by the Spirit toward one or the other of those emphases, we shouldn’t relegate to them our obligation for those things.

Each person will naturally excel in one of these areas over the others. There are gifts of “evangelism” (Ephesians 4) and even of “mercy” (Romans 12) mentioned in Scripture. But as the baseball player that isn’t a natural five-tool player is advised to work on the weaker aspects of his game, we should thank God for the spiritual arena that comes most naturally to us and work on the others.

Most doctors will prescribe a good diet and exercise to overweight people. One or the other won’t adequately and sustainably reduce girth or lower poundage. They have to do both. In the same way, in order to be spiritually fit we (and our churches) have to take seriously being missional, merciful, and worshipful.

The MISSIONAL, Merciful, Worshipful Christian

I suspect that Jesus, who had previously commissioned his twelve future Church Generals – one of which was eventually dishonorably discharged – sent out this larger number of enlisted soldiers in order to make the point that it isn’t just apostles who were called to be missional. There is no position in God’s army for consumers and sightseers. Everybody gets in on the action.

Success is not measured by how many people come to our church’s services, but by how many go and serve God in the world. Way too much emphasis has been made of a church’s seating capacity and too little of its sending capacity. The missional person knows that “Church” is a verb, it’s people going somewhere. It’s not an institution, but a movement. Unfortunately, some Christians and their churches seem to be running in place so they can get in shape and look good, but they never get anywhere, carrying the message.

I like airports. People from all over the place going all over the place is oddly exciting to me. But I don’t go to the airport on vacation. It’s not a destination. I go there when I want to go somewhere else. A missional church is like an airport, with people going, and not staying. It’s a place for debarkation, not destination. A crowded airport is not really a good thing, because it means there’s a jam up of some kind. For some reason the planes are not getting off the ground and going anywhere. We don’t need a full church nearly as much as one that’s functional. Missional Christians know this and constantly and annoyingly push their churches forward.

On the other hand, these missional these missional types have to be periodically reminded that they’re really “not all that.” The seventy had so much fun pushing demons around that Jesus had to interrupt their celebration to tell them that they stop and worship that they’re even recognized in heaven. Their telling the gospel is no more important than showing it in mercy or living it in worship.

Whether or not you tend toward a missional orientation, we’re all called to be part of the “Great Co-Mission” with Jesus and with one another. Where is your mission-field? How missional is your church and how do you help it to be more so? (Hint:  You might consider sending or rebloging this to others in your church who might be inspired toward their mission…)

Lyndoch Red Cross members celebrate milestones

Ten year service recipient, Mrs Chris Field; The Barossa Council Mayor, Mr Bim Lange; 10 year service recipient and group co-ordinator, Ms Monica Wohlstadt; and 40 year service recipient, Mrs Pat Lean.

Three members of Lyndoch Red Cross were celebrated for their service to the organisation on Monday during their meeting at the former Council Chambers in Lyndoch.

Mrs Pat Lean was awarded for 40 years of service, while Ms Monica Wohlstadt and Mrs Chris Field were recognised for 10 years.

In a brief but moving ceremony at their monthly meeting, The Barossa Council Mayor, Mr Bim Lange presented the ladies with their service pins, while a summary of their achievements was shared.

Ninety year old Pat first joined Red Cross in Modbury in 1980, later moving to Moonta Red Cross and then joining Lyndoch in 1981.

She is described by group co-ordinator, Monica as “a vital and active member” of the group who regularly contributes baking for trading tables and raffles, is a Red Cross Blood Bank volunteer, and is the official birthday greetings rep for the group, ensuring all members receive a card on their special day.

She also participates in wreath laying every ANZAC Day.

“Pat is a friend to many within our branch and the wider connections of Gawler and Barossa zones and the state,” said Monica.

“With a huge zest for life it has been a pleasure and inspiration not only to branch members but also myself personally to volunteer and to be a friend to Pat.”

Reflecting on her 40 years of service, Pat said all of her experiences with Red Cross had been enriching, and paid special tribute to the friendships she had formed at Lyndoch.

“When I was sick at the beginning of the year, everybody brought me meals and looked after me,” she said.

“I’ll keep doing this as long as I can. I couldn’t bare to not be involved.”

Monica also spoke on behalf of Mrs Chris Field, also 90, who not only volunteers with Red Cross, but with The Women’s Children’s Hospital, having knitted hundreds of trauma dolls.

“Within our meetings Chris is known to click away with her needles, joyfully making another doll,” said Monica.

Monica herself has occupied the positions of secretary, president and group co-ordinator within her 10 years of service to the group.

She was pivotal in the organisation of the Red Cross 100 year and Lyndoch Red Cross 75 year celebration party in 2014, an event that went on to win Community Event of the Year.

Despite being diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a blood cancer, in 2012, Monica has continued to volunteer, showing “endless support” in seeking donations, supporting trade tables, organising events and managing the group’s annual X-ray collection.

 In May 2018 she was presented with the Australia Red Cross Outstanding Service Award.

What Is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis (OA), or degenerative joint disease, affects more than 20 million Americans and is more common in women than in men. The disease affects the cartilage—slippery tissue on the ends of bones that meet in a joint. Normally, cartilage helps bones glide over one another. In an OA patient, however, the cartilage is broken down and eventually wears away. As a result, instead of gliding, bones rub against each other, causing pain, swelling, and loss of motion.

Although the majority of patients with OA are 65 and older, recent research shows that osteoarthritis is not a by-product of aging. Family history of OA, being overweight, lack of exercise, and prior joint injuries are suggested as OA risk factors.

How Is Osteoarthritis Diagnosed?
OA is diagnosed through a combination of clinical history, patient examination, and x-rays. Other tests, such as drawing fluid from the joint, are sometimes used.

The signs of OA include:

  • Steady or intermittent joint pain
  • Joint stiffness after sitting, sleeping, or otherwise not moving for a long time
  • Swelling or tenderness in the joints
  • A crunching feeling or the sound of bones rubbing against each other.

Should Osteoarthritis Patients Exercise?
Exercise is one of the best forms of OA treatment—and prevention. It strengthens the muscular support around the joints and improves and maintains joint mobility and function. In addition, exercise helps to control weight and improve the patient’s mood and outlook—important factors influencing the severity of the symptoms.

If you suffer from OA, consider the following exercise tips:

  • Low-impact or non-weight-bearing activities, such as walking, stationary training, and light weight training work best for OA patients.
  • Use strengthening exercises if the key muscle groups that relate to the function of the joints are weakened by the degeneration.
  • If you are overweight, start exercising carefully, so as not to put too much stress on the knee and ankle joints.
  • Stair climbing, water aerobics, Theraband workouts, and similar exercises will help to keep the joints mobile without straining them.
  • Learn to read the body’s signals and know when to stop, slow down, or rest.

How Can We Help?
Doctors of chiropractic, by the nature of their work, can detect the earliest degenerative changes in the joints. We see the impact of degenerative changes in the spine, as well as in the hips, knees, and other weight-bearing joints. We are also trained to relieve the pain and improve joint function through natural therapies, such as chiropractic manipulation, trigger-point therapy, or some massage techniques.

Dr. Misty Paul can provide exercise counseling, helping you choose exercises that are best for you. If a sore or swollen joint prevents you from exercising, ask us about other drug-free pain-relief options, such as applying heat or cold to the affected area. In addition, we can help you choose proper supplements that play important roles in OA prevention and treatment.
