As children we sang the well-known song “London Bridge is Falling Down.” Of course, the bridge did not fall down, but in 1962 the 131-year-old bridge was sinking into the Thames River as it was not able to handle the increase in traffic of the modern day.

The bridge was torn down and moved, not to another location in England but to, of all places, the foothills of the Sonoran mountains in a lowland desert area known as Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

Today the bridge spans the Colorado River, linking an island to Lake Havasu City. The body of water at the bridge, Lake Havasu, was formed by Parker Dam, which is on the Colorado River along the California-Arizona border about 25 miles south of the city.

The city of London had decided when the bridge was slated to come down to put the treasured landmark up for auction. That is when Robert McCulloch, chairman of McCulloch Oil Corporation, purchased the bridge for $2,460,000. McCulloch is known as the founder of Lake Havasu City, and it was there that he was going to reconstruct the iconic bridge.

The bridge was dismantled, and each stone was carefully numbered. All the pieces and parts were shipped to Long Beach, California, 10,000 miles from London. The bridge was trekked across the desert by truck to its new home.

Reconstruction of the famous bridge began in September 1968, and the Lord Mayor of London laid the cornerstone.
The bridge was dedicated Oct. 10, 1971, at its new home on a narrow boating channel that connects with Thompson Bay on the Arizona side of Lake Havasu.

The bridge continually brings sightseers to the area, also popular for water activities, shopping, restaurants and a city that has more than 1,000 businesses, including two newspapers and a college.

For an adventure of a different kind, see the bridge from the water via a London Bridge Jet Boat Tour. The boats will whisk you away on a six-hour, 58-mile tour of the Colorado River, Topock Gorge and the bridge. On the tour you will see things only accessible from the river, including volcanic rock faces, emerald waters, ancient Indian petroglyphs and desert wildlife. Included in the trip is a two-hour layover in Lake Havasu City, where the boat is docked right at the bridge and boat riders will find shopping and great places for lunch.

For more information on the boat tours call 702-298-5498 or 888-505-3545 or visit laughlinboattours.com. Tours do not run in December and January.

Lake Havasu City has 300 days of sunshine a year, beautiful water, mountains, hiking, boating, fishing, offroading, shopping and more.

An hour-and-a-half walking tour about the interesting history of the bridge is offered at the visitor center. It is offered Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 11 a.m. January though April. The tour is a half-mile walk, which includes 53 steps to the top of the bridge. The tour has an audio system provided for each individual that allows them to hear every word even if they are 100 feet away from the guide. The cost of the tour is $10 per person, kids 12 and under are free. For more information or to sign up visit golakehavasu.com/visitors-center.

SKOV aims at long-term cooperation

The procurement department at SKOV handles all types of purchases. This includes entering agreements for commodities and commercial products as well as covering indirect purchases such as electricity, gas, flights, office supplies, etc. It is the responsibility of the procurement department to enter long-term cooperation with suppliers who can offer competitive prices, a high level of servicing and quality as well as timeliness in delivery. Besides, SKOV is only interested in working with suppliers who are willing to resolve the acute challenges that will crop up during the cooperation – what we term suppliers with the right attitude!

  • Head of the procurement department
  • Jens Ebbesen Nielsen
  • E: [email protected]
Cooperation requirements and expectations towards your company

If your company wishes to become part of the supplier portfolio of SKOV, your company:

  • Displays social accountability and live up to the principles in the UN Global Compact.
  • You think long-term and ensure that SKOV maintains or even improves its purchase prices through investments and automation, among other things. You are also capable of coming up with proposals to improve the cost price, quality, or delivery time.
  • Focuses on and establishes goals for your own performance within servicing, quality and delivery.
  • You are aware that SKOV works globally with clients in the agricultural sector - a sector of unstable sales patterns where changes made to orders are a regular phenomenon.
  • You have revised the contractual basis and accept entering an agreement on this basis.
  • You have the willingness and the ability to hold SKOV products in stock to ensure short delivery times and delivery 'just in time'.
Contact us by sending an email to [email protected], if you are interested in
talking to SKOV about the possibility of a long-term cooperation.

Please append a presentation of your company in the email as well as a detailed description of what types of products/services you can offer SKOV.

Contractual basis
Standard contractual basis

To enter a long-term cooperation with SKOV, it is a required that the SKOV Standard Contractual Basis has been accepted and signed.

SKOV operates with two types of contractual basis:

SKOV Standard Trade Agreement

We use this agreement for suppliers of products considered complex, investment-heavy or critical. It could also be that we expect the turnover to constitute a high value during the cooperation.

SKOV Conditions for Purchase & Delivery
We use this agreement for suppliers of products considered simple or easily available. It could also be that we expect the turnover to constitute a low value during the cooperation.

The appendix for both agreements consists of SKOV Supplier Handbook: Supplier Handbook (How to Cooperate)

SKOV Supplier Handbook (How to Cooperate)
The Supplier Handbook describes guidelines for a cooperation with SKOV. These guidelines must of course be complied with in case of a cooperation.

Send an email to [email protected] with a presentation of your company and the products you can offer SKOV as well as a link to your website, if you have one. The relevant person within a given purchasing area will receive your e-mail.

The following questions are designed to be used as guidelines for identifying possible signposts of sex and love addiction. They are not intended to provide a sure-fire method of diagnosis, nor can negative answers to these questions provide absolute assurance that the illness is not present.

Many sex and love addicts have varying patterns which can result in very different ways of approaching and answering these questions. Despite this fact, we have found that short, to-the-point questions have often provided as effective a tool for self-diagnosis as have lengthy explanations of what sex and love addiction is. We appreciate that the diagnosis of sex and love addiction is a matter that needs to be both very serious and very private. We hope that these questions will prove helpful.

  1.  Have you ever tried to control how much sex to have or how often you would see someone?
  2.  Do you find yourself unable to stop seeing a specific person even though you know that seeing this person is destructive to you?
  3.  Do you feel that you don’t want anyone to know about your sexual or romantic activities?
  4.  Do you get “high” from sex and/or romance?
  5.  Have you had sex at inappropriate times, in inappropriate places, and/or with inappropriate people?
  6.  Do you make promises to yourself concerning your sexual or romantic behavior that you find you cannot follow?
  7.  Have you had or do you have sex with someone you don’t (didn’t) want to have sex with?
  8.  Do you believe that sex and/or a relationship will make your life bearable?
  9.  Have you ever felt that you had to have sex?
  10.  Do you believe that someone can “fix” you?
  11.  Do you keep a list, written or otherwise, of the number of partners you’ve had?
  12.  Do you feel desperation or uneasiness when you are away from your lover or sexual partner?
  13.  Have you lost count of the number of sexual partners you’ve had?
  14.  Do you feel desperate about your need for a lover, sexual fix, or future mate?
  15.  Have you or do you have sex regardless of the consequences (e.g. the threat of being caught, the risk of contracting herpes, gonorrhea, AIDS, etc.)?
  16.  Do you find that you have a pattern of repeating bad relationships?
  17.  Do you feel that your only (or major) value in a relationship is your ability to perform sexually, or provide an emotional fix?
  18.  Do you feel that you’re not “really alive” unless you are with your sexual/romantic partner?
  19.  Do you feel entitled to sex?
  20.  Do you find yourself in a relationship that you cannot leave?
  21.  Have you ever threatened your financial stability or standing in the community by pursuing a sexual partner?
  22.  Do you believe that the problems in your “love life” result from continuing to remain with the “wrong” person?
  23.  Have you ever had a serious relationship threatened or destroyed because of outside sexual activity?
  24.  Do you feel that life would have no meaning without a love relationship or without sex?
  25.  Do you find yourself flirting or sexualizing with someone even if you do not mean to?
  26.  Does your sexual and/or romantic behavior affect your reputation?
  27.  Do you have sex and/or “relationships” to try to deal with, or escape from life’s problems?
  28.  Do you feel uncomfortable about your masturbation because of the frequency with which you masturbate, the fantasies you engage in, the props you use, and/or the places in which you do it?
  29.  Do you engage in the practice of voyeurism, exhibitionism, etc. in ways that bring discomfort and pain?
  30.  Do you find yourself needing greater and greater variety and energy in your sexual or romantic activities just to achieve an “acceptable” level of physical and emotional relief?
  31.  Do you need to have sex, or “fall in love” in order to feel like a “real man” or a “real woman”?
  32.  Do you feel that your sexual and romantic behavior is about as rewarding as hijacking a revolving door?
  33.  Are you unable to concentrate on other areas of your life because of thoughts or feelings you are having about another person or about sex?
  34.  Do you find yourself obsessing about a specific person or sexual act even though these thoughts bring pain, craving or discomfort?
  35.  Have you ever wished you could stop or control your sexual and romantic activities for a given period of time?
  36.  Do you find the pain in your life increasing no matter what you do?
  37.  Do you feel that you lack dignity and wholeness?
  38.  Do you feel that your sexual and/or romantic life affects your spiritual life in a negative way?
  39.  Do you feel that your life is unmanageable because of your excessive dependency needs?
  40.  Have you ever thought that there might be more you could do with your life if you were not so driven by sexual and romantic pursuits?

Binance vs BitMex

Best Crypto Exchange Guide 2020

20% off fees right now

The crypto market is a haven for crypto enthusiasts and new investors who love passive new passive income stream. Whether it’s staking or trading, everyone can find a crypto investment plan alongside one or several exchanges. However, trading of altcoins remains the most popular source of crypto income.

I have traded altcoins on Binance and Bitfines. I’ve enjoyed the process of making some profits while gaining experience.

I then discovered Bitmex exchange a few months ago and realized it has margin trading features that were more rewarding but on the same note more risky.

Binance and Bitmex, are among the leading crypto trading sites. They record the highest trading volumes daily within the crypto market compared to other exchanges.

Let’s see what these two exchanges have to offer the crypto world.

Binance or Bitmex ?

Binance and Bitmex are among the most popular cryptocurrency exchange platforms. Almost all serious crypto traders have both Binance and BitMex trading accounts or either of the two.

Both sites enable the traders to buy and sell several crypto coins on a single interface, and therefore they don't have to create several wallets for each of the tokens and altcoins they are exchanging.

The differences between BitMex and Binance can be analyzed in terms of fee structure, customer support, supported countries, supported cryptocurrencies, use case, the support team, security, merits and demerits, and user experience.

Fee structure

Binance offers its clients with the most competitive and lowest trading fee in the crypto market (a trading fee of 0.1%). The fee can be reduced even further if one holds their native BNB token.

When you pay your trading fees using BNB, you will be rewarded with a significant discount.

Binance Company increases the value of the BNBs token by burning them regularly. Burning is done so that the value of the token you hold remains competitive with those that are available in the market. Additionally, this particular token has other uses, such as:

  • It enables you to participate in the Initial Exchange Offering (IEO)

  • It can be used for shopping online.

  • It can be staked in launchpool

  • New features every month!

Bitmex fees are not as straight forward as compared to Binance. This is so because it takes into consideration the future contracts of the numerous cryptocurrencies available on its platform.

Secondly, the variation in fees is also brought about by the type of contract and the cryptocurrency you are trading in.

Details for BitMEX fees are shown below:

Take note:

  • Deposits and withdrawals are free.

  • When making your withdrawals, the minimum fee charged will be determined by the load of the blockchain and mempool.

Supported countries

Countries in which you can use Binance:

You can use the Binance exchange platform from almost all countries around the world. However, its services are not available to Chinese citizens because cryptocurrencies are banned in China. Also, doesn’t operate in the United States because the regulative environment is not that supportive.

Countries in which you can use Bitmex:

Just like Binance, Bitmex provides its services to almost all counties in the world; except in, the US where the government considers Bitmex unregulated. US crypto traders are not allowed to use BitMEX.

Customer support

One of the most important things to take into consideration before trading or exchanging in these cryptocurrency platforms is the kind of customer support given by the trading site. This will help in bridging the gap between the company and the client.

Binance customer support

Binance provides the best customer support compared to Bitmex or any other crypto trading platform. They have a support centre with more than six international languages with English included.

Registered customers can seek assistance through email because an integrated live chat system is not yet incorporated in their website. They can also be contacted through their social media accounts Facebook, Twitter, and WeChat stores.

But before reaching them, you must go through their FAQ section because a lot of questions are always answered at this point.

Bitmex customer support

Bitmex offers exemplary customer service, as well. They provide their clients with numerous methods to reach out to them. Additionally, they assist their clients 24/7 via the following communication channels:

  • Weibo

  • WeChat (id: BitMEX Support Ticketing System)

  • Telegram

  • Reddit

You can also check their FAQ sections before contacting them for assistance.

Supported cryptocurrencies

Binance supported coins

Binance supports the trading of numerous coins and tokens. The exact number of cryptocurrency pairs of Binance totals up to 360.

You will find all popular cryptocurrencies, including BCH, ETH, XRP, or the ADA. With such a wide variety of trading pairs, everyone is assured ease of trading their preferred crypto pairs.

Bitmex supported coins

Bitmex only allows BTC deposits and withdrawals. They do so to enable leverage on the trade. You cannot deposit fiat currency; therefore, it's not an entry-level exchange. It provides a BTC wallet where you can copy the address and send some Bitcoins to start trading.

Use Cases

Binance: best for future trading/margin

Binance is primarily a crypto to crypto exchange platform that came into existence in mid-2017. Since its development, it has captured a fair share of the crypto trading market.

Besides, the site has been consistently ranked among the top 3 trading sites in terms of the trading volume.

Additionally, it has a native token known as the BNB. The main advantage of BNB is to waiver the number of fees paid for trading purposes.

Binance is a trading spot of different cryptocurrencies, where one can sell or buy, and it also makes it easy to withdraw or deposit currencies from the platform. Sometime in 2019, Binance introduced margin trading to its system, which made it even more competitive.

Bitmex: best for margin trading

Unlike Binance, where actual spot trading is happening., BitMex is a peer to peer exchange platform that deals with leveraged contracts that are sold, and the payment is in bitcoins.

You may have come across terms like margin trading, leverage trading or derivative market while navigating through the crypto world. Bitmex is a derivative market. What does the derivative market mean?

Well, a derivative is an instrument of which is derived from the value of one or more underlying, which can be commodities, precious metals currency, bonds, stocks, indices, among others. Four typical examples of derivative instruments are Forwards, Futures, options, and swaps. (Quoted from

Bitmex offers derivatives contracts of some of the most widespread cryptocurrencies which are then paid for in BTC; that’s why you can only deposit or withdraw BTC from BitMEX.

The team

Binance team

Binance team consists of experts from the crypto world as well as the finance industry who have the knowledge and understanding of running a crypto exchange platform before. The team also looks solid; this can be attributed to the fact that they have been able to expand and grow for the last year.

Bitmex team

This incredible team comprises of skillful developers, experienced economist, and knowledgeable high-frequency algorithm traders, this makes Bitmex a consistent product in the market.

Pros and cons

  • It is a Bitcoin centered exchange

  • Very low fees

  • A myriad of coins to exchange with

  • No lags experienced with website

  • Has been hacked one time (but compensated their users)

  • Different domain for the US, European, and the rest of the world

  • Future and derivative trading

  • Leverage of to 1:100

  • Test trading platform

  • Requires KYC

  • Advanced interface not friendly to beginners

  • Does not accept fiat deposits/ withdrawals

  • Security

Binance security

The features provided on this site are excellent and user friendly. A visitor visiting their web page will have an easy time exploring the site since it only takes a few seconds to familiarize yourself with available content and the usages.

In 2019, about $40 million of bitcoin was stolen from Binance website via a hacking incident along with 2FA and API token codes. The hackers employed all the possible techniques ranging from phishing to the use of viruses to attack the system.

The good news is that Binance fully compensated its clients, and they were also very transparent about the event in front of the public. Additionally, they followed up the event to prevent it from happening again in the future. They employed ways of eliminating all vulnerabilities and assured their traders of high security.

Bitmex security

Most websites that are developed today have the two-factor authentication method that enhances the security of the site and safety of its client’s accounts.

To access the security tab on Bitmex website, you need to click on the account name located on the upper left corner of the website. Then go ahead and click on the "Accounts and security" tab, after clicking you will then be directed to a webpage in which you will be able to update your contact info, personal info as well as choose which 2FA you want to activate.

Bitmex has additional security features such as, it offers a strict IP address which enables the users of the platform to have a safe session. Secondly, the PGP key which provides extra security to those visiting the platform at any particular time.

Note: all these security features can be found when you click under the account tab, and they are effortless to use and understand.

User experience

Binance user experience

Just as I mentioned above, the site has a friendly user interface, and it is effortless to navigate through. Also, the website doesn't experience any lag issue, which makes it great.

What are the public opinions about the site? After the hacking incident in 2019, several fake news has been in circulation about Binance all over the internet. But the most exciting part is that these were just people's opinions with no evidence whatsoever. It has not affected the operation of the site that much.

Bitmex user experience

What are the public opinions about Bitmex? Well, just like any other website, there are mixed reviews and reactions from the public. But, luckily for them they a lot of positive reviews concerning the services they offer.

On the same note, any digital currency exchange site has, at some point, experienced scam accusations. But for Bitmex, they have been a very trustworthy and reliable trading website.

Wrap up

We can look at the fantastic features of Binance and also explored through their website to better understand how it operates.

Well, is Binance a safe place to carry out business? In my opinion, yes. At the time of writing this blog, Binance is one of the most trusted crypto trading and exchange platforms.

On the other hand, Bitmex gives us a general overview of how a crypto trading site should look like since they have everything within reach. If you are a experienced trader and looking forward to investing in the crypto space, then BitMEX is the trading site you should go for. It offers a wide range of order types and leverage that you will love.

Keeping Healthy Sleep Patterns During the Extended "Break"

I want to start by saying, I know this time is extremely stressful no matter your situation. Many of us are trying to figure out how to work from home with our kids in the house. And that’s if you are lucky and still have jobs to work. Others are currently out of work and trying to figure out how to make ends meet. Many out there are trying to figure out where to get their essential items. Most of us are trying to navigate occupying our children without the convenience of school, playdates, recreation, playgrounds and community support. We are all worried about the safety of our neighbors, family and friends. The last thing I want parents to worry about during this time is their child’s sleep.

With no work and no school, it may seem difficult to maintain your child's schedule all while trying to limit your excursions to the liquor store. I’m not here to tell you that you need to schedule your child’s day minute by minute, but I will suggest a predictable routine to help your child sleep. Let’s remember that proper sleep is one of the best ways to boost mood and health.

So here, are 7 tips to keeping your child on track with sleep:

1. Start your day at the same time as you normally would.

I know, I know… you want your child to sleep as long as possible in the morning. You have spent ALL day attempting to entertain them within the 4 walls of your house. The problem is if you allow them to sleep much past what they are used to, it may be difficult for them to fall asleep at nap time or bedtime. For babies and toddlers, I suggest waking them no more than 12.5 hours after they fell asleep.

2. Honor naps.

Try to keep your child on a similar nap schedule. I’m sure you have heard the term “sleep begets sleep”. It is absolutely true and everyone, including you, needs that time to recharge in this stressful time.

If your child is no longer napping or you notice that they are taking a long time to fall asleep at night when they do nap, you may choose to skip the nap and implement quiet time instead. I suggest starting this time in an increment that you feel your child can manage staying in their room. You can always increase it little by little. If your child uses an okay to wake clock, set it for quiet time as well. You can choose to let your child bring in toys or books to keep them occupied. A little alone time isn’t a bad thing for you or them. If your child does fall asleep, wake them up in 20 minutes before they get into deep sleep.

3. Make sure all kids are getting enough physical activity and sunlight when possible. I recommend 30 minutes of physical activity around 10:00 am and again around 3:00 pm. Sunlight is also so important for good sleep as it helps to regulate our circadian rhythm. Getting natural sunlight increases serotonin, which is a precursor to melatonin, which helps us to sleep at night. Luckily, one of he few things we are able to do during this trying time, is get outside in nature (all while keeping your 6 foot distance from others). So whenever possible, get out, go for walks, bike rides, or a game of soccer in the back yard.

4. Bath.

Let’s be honest, the days currently may start to seem like ground hog day. Different day, same you know what. A bath before bedtime is a great way to trigger the brain and body to relax because it is so different that the activities that took place throughout the day. Bath’s also lower body temperature just a bit, making it more conducive to restful sleep.

5. No screens before bed.

Now, I am not here to lecture you at all about your screen time over the next few weeks. If you need to watch Frozen 2 on repeat to survive, I'm not judging. However, I do suggest cutting off screen time one hour before bed. Not only are screens blue light harmful to melatonin production, they are also stimulating making it more difficult for your child to fall asleep and increasing likelihood of broken sleep or nightmares.

6. Relaxing bedtime routine.

Along with the no screen rule, also make sure to keep the bedtime routine calm and relaxing. Think, puzzles, blocks, books. Stay away from toys that light up and make a lot of noise and limit horseplay (I'm talking to you, dads). Again, these activities are stimulating and make it more difficult for the brain to relax. Along with a relaxing bedtime, make sure that you are consistent with the routine and bedtime. Keeping things consistent for your child will be reassuring and they will know what the expectation is.

7. Self Care

Lastly, take care of yourself. Manage your own stress. Make sure you are getting enough sleep. The more relaxed you can be, the more relaxed your child will be. Set a good example for your child for how to cope with difficult situations.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. If you are struggling with sleep in your house, now is actually the perfect time to work on it. A few weeks in the home with the ability to be 100% consistent is key to success. I would love to help you reach your sleep goals. With that said, I fully understand that money may be a stressor in your life currently with all the uncertainty out there. If this is the case for you, let’s talk about it. I am happy to work with you on payment plans and discounts.

Habanero is all set to launch a new and exciting slot - Four Divine Beasts

  • Published date06 February 2018

Habanero, the leading online slots and table games developer, is set to launch yet another exciting slot this week, which according to them will take players on a journey to an ancient world where beasts guard mounds of treasure.

The new online slot which will be known by the name of Four Divine Beasts, has a mythical world backdrop that we see in many online slot games. However, there is one thing that is different in this slot – the beasts. These four monsters sit on the reels and the players must defeat them to make a win.

Beat the beast

Four Divine Beats is a five reel game that is inspired by a Chinese folklore that claims that the sky is divided into 4 points – east, west, north, and south – each of which is ruled by a beast.

These beasts are Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tiger. They guard treasures, which in the game are exciting jackpots. If players can beat them, or if the beasts themselves favor your way of play, you will be rewarded with riches.

A Unique Slot

This game is a medium to high volatility slot that allows you to play many extras and bonus games that are all linked to the beasts.

“If you are on the lookout to play a game with a twist, and love the thought of summoning beasts who once ruled the earth, you will love this slot,” says Head of Corporate Communications, Toni Karapetrov.

He also says, “This slot has a mythical design that is built in order to give an authentic Asian feel to those who play it, no matter which device they choose to play it on.”

Four Divine Beasts follows on after the success of popular slots such as 5 Mariachis, Rolling Roger and Santa’s Village. The company also plans on launching several more games this year. Habanero also has a number of video poker games and table game titles that use the latest technology and make way for a great gaming experience.

Watch out for the release of this fun and exciting online slot at Habanero powered online casinos. You can play this game even at the famous Casumo Casino.

The Outlook is Good

By Gerry Blackwell
  • Print Article
  • Email Article

For many of us, Outlook, the e-mail, contact, calendar and task manager module in Microsoft Office, is a crucially important organizing tool without which we’d be lost. Mess with our Outlook and you mess with something very personal to us, a virtual extension of our brain.

If you’ve been following this ongoing series of reviews of the major components in Office 2007 you’ve probably already guessed it – Microsoft messed with Outlook. The good news: not only are the downsides not as bad as we feared, the new version is actually a major win for Outlook fans, with significant new and useful functionality and some nice minor improvements.

We're still not entirely over our snit about Microsoft betraying long-time devotees by forcing us to learn a new interface (when the old one seemed perfectly adequate), and by removing some of the ability to personalize and customize the Office programs. But the new version of Outlook definitely puts us in a kindlier mood.

For starters, Outlook 2007 does not use the full Microsoft Office Fluent interface, which in the other programs replaces traditional menu and tool bars and vertical text menus with a ribbon and tabbed panels that drop down and stretch across the screen, graphically displaying groups of functions. In the main Outlook 2007 windows – Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks – the menus and task bars remain much as they were, with only minor and entirely welcome modifications.

We’re assuming this decision was made because the ribbon would take too much screen real estate away from display of calendar and e-mails. But as soon as you call up a subsidiary window – any of the dialogs for adding new items, for example – you get the full Office 2007 interface with ribbon and graphical display of functions.

Outlook does also remove some ability to customize, and the changes under the hood may render some macros inoperable. Is this terribly important? Probably not for the vast majority of people, but here is a tiny example to illustrate our frustration at these changes.

One of our pet peeves about Outlook 2003 (and previous versions) – and of others, too, as we know from trolling Internet forums in search of a solution – is that when you view the calendar in month mode and hit the Today button (or select Go To/Today), Outlook displays the first week of the month at the top of the page, the last week at the bottom, with today’s date highlighted somewhere in between. If you’re at or near the end of the month, you see mostly dates that have passed, which isn’t terribly useful.

So big deal. Just scroll down, right?

Not us. We took considerable effort to write a macro to display the monthly view the way we wanted, with the current week at the top of the page so we could see upcoming dates below it – much more sensible. Outlook 2007, we discovered, displays the month view the same illogical way as past versions – but the macro we had labored over no longer works. Argh!

It took us more than an hour to figure out how to change the macro so it would perform the same task.

New and Better
But we're nit-picking. The good in Outlook 2007 outweighs the bad. Some of the good new features require you to be running a Microsoft Exchange server and/or Microsoft Sharepoint Services, but here’s a list of some of the best of what’s new that anyone can use:

  • Instant Search – fast desktop searching, an Office-wide feature, replaces the painfully slow search function of past Outlook versions
  • To-Do Bar – a side panel (optional) in Mail that provides a consolidated view of daily tasks, flagged e-mails, upcoming appointments, etc
  • Attachment Preview – view attachments within Outlook without launching another program
  • Flagging Mail as Tasks – create a task from an e-mail in one step
  • Task integration on calendar – drag tasks and flagged mail onto a calendar to schedule time to complete them
  • Navigate E-mail Threads – jump from one message to another within a thread
  • Color Categories – a new way to group and quickly find information using color cues
  • RSS Feed Integration – have Really Simple Syndication (RSS) subscriptions delivered directly to your inbox
  • Electronic Business Cards – a new way to personalize and share contact information in a business card format
  • Auto Account Setup – Outlook 2007 can set up most e-mail accounts using only address and password
  • Office InfoPath Integration – embed a form in an e-mail message for the recipient to fill in and return
  • Anti-Phishing and Junk e-mail – improved prevention for junk and malicious e-mail

Microsoft’s Instant Search utility, integrated with Office 2007 but also available separately as a free download, is a general-purpose desktop search tool. It’s not as good, in our opinion, as some other desktop search tools, including the one from Yahoo, but with Outlook integration, Instant Search makes searching for messages about three times as fast as it used to be. A very welcome improvement.

Much To-Do
One of the first things you’ll notice when you launch the new version of Outlook and go to Inbox is the To-Do bar, which appears by default at the right of the screen. You can also display it in Calendar, Contacts and Tasks, but you may have to go to the View menu and select the To-Do bar to tell it to display.

The bar includes a thumbnail view of the month, a list of upcoming calendar appointments, color coded as they are in Calendar, and a list of tasks arranged by date. You can still open Outlook Today -- to get a quick view of your day and week -- by clicking the Personal Folders icon in the left-hand panel in Mail. Outlook Today does give more detail – more appointments, for example. But the To-Do bar will give most people all the task information they need while viewing e-mail, and in a much more convenient way. And you can have it appear in other Outlook windows too.

You can minimize the bar to make more room for messages – it appears as a thin border along the side of the screen, with sideways lettering showing your next appointment and telling you how many tasks you have. You can also close it completely. And you can reconfigure it to show less of some types of items or more of others.

The ability to view Office and other standard format attachments within Outlook, Inbox without having to open another program, is a nice convenience that saves time when all you need is a quick look.

An unobtrusive bar near the top of the message shows labeled icons for Message – selected by default – and for each attachment. To view an attachment, simply click its icon. A disclaimer pops up pointing out that the version of the attachment you’ll see may not be exactly as it appears when viewed using the program that created it, but you can turn this off for future messages. A 1MB PowerPoint file took a few seconds to load in attachment preview on my 1.6 MHz dual-core laptop. To return to the message after viewing the attachment, just click the message icon.

(Click for larger image)

Flagging e-mail messages as tasks is another nice convenience for some people, though not all. Many workers get instructions from bosses and clients by e-mail. In the past, if they wanted to create an Outlook task to schedule and track an assigned piece of work, they had to retype or clip and paste information from the message into a New Task form.

Now you can simply right click on the flag beside a message in the Inbox to schedule the task. In previous Outlook versions, right clicking brought up a menu that let you select a different colored flag so you could set up a personal color coding system for messages. In Outlook 2007, the menu lets you choose a time frame for completing the task or following up on the message – Today, Tomorrow, This Week and so on. The task now shows up in the To-Do bar and in Tasks and when you double click it, the original message opens.

Making Time for Tasks
The integration of Tasks with Calendar is the kind of feature that makes you scratch your head and wonder why they didn’t do this long ago. You have tasks and you have appointments, but until now, Outlook only allowed you to block time on your calendar for the latter. If you wanted to block time to complete a task, you had to create a “fake” appointment. Now, you can simply drag tasks from the To-Do bar onto a day in the calendar, open the item and set the time you want to devote to it.

One new feature that barely rates a mention in Outlook 2007 literature but that we think is very useful is the capability to jump through a long e-mail thread message by message, without having to scroll to find the message you want. When you mouse over a spot near the top right of the message window, navigation buttons appear that let you jump to the next or previous or last or first message in a thread. It’s not a big thing, but it will make reviewing long threads a little easier.

The new Color Categories is really just a visual extension of the existing categories function. As well as an alphanumeric name for each category, you can now assign a color, which theoretically makes it easier to quickly see relevant items in lists of messages, contacts and tasks. If you’re particularly visually oriented and you don’t need too many categories, it might be a help. If you have a lot of categories, you’ll have to use subtler shades to differentiate them which could defeat the purpose – categories with similar colors won’t stand out from each other.

We’ve really only scratched the surface here. Outlook offers possibly the richest set of new features of all the Office 2007 modules. As with most of the others, it includes great new features for employees of companies that run Microsoft Exchange e-mail servers and Sharepoint servers, including the ability to overlay multiple calendars in one display – a great way to find available slots for meetings involving several people.

For more information about what’s new in Outlook, see the Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 product guide.

Bottom Line
For us, Outlook 2007 tips the balance in favor of the new version of Office. It’s easier to use in several significant ways – such as the Instant Search capability – and in a bunch of small ways that add up. If your life revolves around Outlook, this may be the excuse you need to make the switch to Office 2007.

Be sure to read our reviews on the other major applications in Microsoft Office 2007: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

New WebSphere Software Serves B2B Integration Needs

By Clint Boulton
  • Print Article
  • Email Article

Continuing its sweeping treatment of integration software across its WebSphere line, IBM Monday unveiled refreshed a product to help business-to-business (B2B) trading companies merge internal applications for greater efficiency.

B2B business trading communities are often hectic environments where partners, suppliers, and customers go to do business. Because so many different parties are taking part in this experience, it is common for disparate types of applications and processes to be used.

There is order triggering, which is connected to enterprise resource planning (ERP) and the supply chain, to take into account. This can get confusing and problematic because of interoperability issues between legacy and new-school software.

IBM believes this WebSphere Business Integration Connect version 4.2 software can help solve these compatibility issues and ultimately streamline the supply chain.

Paraic Sweeney, vice president of marketing, Web services division at IBM, said the new software will help trading communities in several vertical markets, such as electronics or retail, streamline business operations.

"There is not a clear distinction between internal and external business integration needs," Sweeney said. "B2B connection needs to support a range of those. Once customers have systems in operation they are very loathe to take them offline."

Sweeney said Connect 4.2 will be accompanied by services from Viacore, which specializes in integration services for private trading communities. IBM will provide Connect 4.2 while Viacore will provide services on a step-by-step basis to the customers' trading partners in each stage as these customers build their community.

Redmonk Senior Analyst Stephen O'Grady said the announcement is further proof of the accelerated competition between IBM and rivals HP and Sun Microsystems in the integration space.

"This move is indeed another proof point of IBM's recent focus on integration as an important battleground in the enterprise platform provider market. With BEA's Platform increasingly integration focused approach and Sun's forthcoming Orion product including significant integration functionality as part of the package, integration is an area that many of the leading platform vendors are now viewing as a competitive differentiator," O'Grady said.

One of the new product features includes InstallShield, which makes installation faster, easier and more secure. Another is the Community Participant Simulator function, which a customer can use to test its community integration prior to deployment to gauge effectiveness.

WebSphere Business Integration Connect will be available in three editions, including an "Express" edition for small and medium businesses that want to integrate with a small number of trading partners as quickly as possible; an advanced edition for companies that want to connect to a growing number of trading partners; and a business-class enterprise edition, which is like the advanced edition, but is priced to manage larger trading communities.

WebSphere Business Integration Connect will be available in the third quarter of 2003. Pricing will be announced at that time.

How to Dress Like Meghan Markle When You Travel

Whether or not her title remains “Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex,” Meghan Markle will always be the queen of stylish packing. Her whirlwind schedule—jetting off for an appearance on The Today Show one day, touring South Africa as part of a royal visit the next—would leave even the most frequent traveler fatigued and worn. But not Markle, who always looks pristine and put together with a collection of tasteful sheath dresses, belted coats, and darling hats ready to be called into service. (Who else can make a Philip Treacy fascinator look modern and fresh?)

Now that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are dividing their time between the United Kingdom and North America, you can bet she’ll be jetsetting with even more frequency. It’s a charmed life, one that can sound as unfeasible as finding a glass slipper. But even a commoner in coach such as ourselves can borrow some tips and tricks from Markle’s travel wardrobe and arrive looking like royalty.

Where Does Meghan Markle Travel?

Long before she had a royal title or a prince by her side, Meghan Markle was a globetrotter splitting her time between two countries: the United States, where she grew up, and Canada, where her TV show Suits was filmed. But that travel went into hyper-drive once she was pulled into royal duties. Dizzying itineraries of royal trips were added to her calendar, including a multi-stop tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and the Kingdom of Tonga. More recently, she traveled to South Africa on a 10-day trip as an ambassador of Buckingham Palace.

In between all that, Markle and Prince Harry have occasionally managed to slip away on trips like their three-day jaunt to Morocco, although their honeymoon was such enticing tabloid bait that they had to duck out of the country to an undisclosed location once the press got hip to their plans of heading to Namibia. But that’s exactly what you’d expect of a couple whose second date was followed up by a trip to Botswana.

Meghan Markle’s Travel Style

Don’t be fooled by the open smile, the tousled hair, or the hugging—Markle may be the picture of warmth and approachability, but her travel wardrobe is polished, composed, and well considered. Markle doesn’t go for girly embellishments; you can forget about frilly collars, ruffles, or applique. Her staples tend to be serious, adult, and womanly. Picture belted sheath dresses, camel coats, navy blazers, black skinny jeans, and classic nude pumps. It’s a chic, no-nonsense look that lands somewhere between Hitchcock heroine and CEO.

Markle also avoids anything too clingy or low-cut, opting instead for structured pencil skirts, silk blouses, and sharp collars with a bit of architecture. Even at her most casual—sitting sideline at sports matches or traipsing through the countryside—Markle is always presentable in white button-up shirts, skinny jeans, or shirtwaist dresses. After all, being a royal role model is a 24/7 gig.

Three Words to Describe Meghan Markle’s Travel Style

Streamlined: Busy prints? Embroidery? Lace overlays or big bows? No, thank you. Ever the modern royal, Markle is all about clean, tailored lines with no flouncy distractions. A sharp shift dress and a pointed heel are her default setting, and she loves throwing on a belted jacket or navy blazer to add a top coat of polish. Even her jewelry is kept to a minimum—typically just a thin gold bracelet, delicate drop earrings or studs, or a small pendant on a chain—proving what light packers have known all along: A tiny dose of sparkle is all you need.

Preppy: Don’t be fooled by articles that pigeonhole Markle as “avant-garde.” If you study her style, she’s a lock for the classic prepster. The trenchcoat dresses, denim jackets, striped shirts, and Le Spec sunglasses seem like a collegiate wardrobe that’s graduated to adulthood. We bet she learned to rock a white button-up and bun back in her Northwestern University days. And who else could pull off mini striped shorts with a white T-shirt and a matching blazer?

Ladylike: Clearly, Markle believes in the power of a form-fitting dress and towering heels to command a room. When she makes an entrance, it’s often in a belted sheath dress and nude pumps, a combo that she continued into her pregnancy, just relaxing the waist a bit to make room for England’s newest royal. Even her outerwear gets a feminine spin, with a belted silhouette. If Markle has a tomboy side, we have yet to see it.

Three Colors That Meghan Markle Rocks

Navy: Navy gets a bad rap for being matronly, lacking the edginess of black or the boldness of royal blue. But on Markle, it’s polished perfection, complementing her dark hair and adding a hint of color without being flashy. As an evening dress, like the halter number she wore to the Auckland War Memorial Museum, it’s fresh and unexpected. Markle also isn’t afraid to mix black and navy, a color combo that was once considered a fashion faux pas. But as Markle proves, it’s worth rethinking stodgy old rules.

Cream and Camel: From the belted trench dress she wore to present baby Archie to the world to the camel coat she donned on her first royal Christmas service, Markle can’t resist anything in a beige or toffee hue. It’s a classic choice, and unsurprisingly, it goes well with navy. But Markle gives it a modern twist, whether that’s wearing it head to toe in one monochromatic shot or blending textures and shades, like the silky mocha-colored slip-skirt paired with a taupe turtleneck.

Emerald Green: Like many savvy travelers, Markle has built up a wardrobe full of goes-with-everything neutrals (beige, navy, black). Smart move, given that they can be worn and reworn in countless ways. But even Markle can’t resist busting out a bold hue, especially when the occasion calls for a splash of color. She usually opts for jewel tones like ruby red or bright sapphire blue, but we’re partial to her emerald green outfits, especially when she put together a deep green leather skirt with a fluttery green blouse, a look that’s pure money.

A belted navy shift is straight out of Markle’s playbook, especially when it’s paired with nude heels. Keep the bling to a minimum with these delicate pearl-drop earrings, accented with teensy diamonds. A blush-colored pocketbook on a chain strap is both ladylike and practical. It’s a good dupe for the Stella McCartney clutch Markle carried around on International Women’s Day, but about an eighth of the price. If you’re stepping out for a power lunch, do as Meghan would do and throw on this belted camel coat to dash out in style.

Even a duchess needs some easy-breezy outfits. A tie-waist shirtdress was Markle’s default look while touring South Africa, a climate that demanded cool, comfortable clothing that still looked pulled together. And she frequently paired her dresses with red Everlane flats, a notable departure from her usual heels, but all the better to tour Johannesburg comfortably. A sweet, sentimental necklace (maybe holding a photo of your sweetheart) helps with any homesickness. And a crossbody bag keeps your hands free, ideal to meet and greet locals.

Time to bump up the drama. Ditch the sensible neutrals and go for green. This floor-length emerald number has the Markle wow factor. But even though it’s eveningwear, it’s not entirely impractical: The wrap bodice lets you wear it in a variety of ways (V-neck, one-shoulder, strapless), increasing its mileage. We’d opt for halter straps—a Markle favorite. Nude sandals keep the focus on the dress, as do white topaz studs. With a swipe of lipstick and a metallic clutch, you’re ready to own the room.

Can anyone help? My own attempts at this really have not produced the results I was expecting, and I suspect the problem is that I’ve taken too much from the documentation.

Thanks for joining us. Here's what you may have missed from today.

We will be continuing our coronavirus coverage overnight and into Tuesday in a new blog, which you can read here.

Russian military hit by 874 COVID-19 cases

MOSCOW - A total of 874 personnel in the Russian military have tested positive for the new coronavirus since March, Russia's Defence Ministry said Sunday.

Almost half of them - 379 people - are isolated at home; others are being treated in various medical facilities.

Four people are in grave condition, including one on a ventilator.

Russia has so far reported 80,949 confirmed cases of the virus and 747 deaths.

The vast majority of the country's regions have been on lockdown since late March, with only essential businesses - grocery shops, pharmacies, banks - operating and people ordered to stay at home.

Earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin indefinitely postponed the traditional May 9 military parade marking the 1945 defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II because of the growing outbreak.

Military units have already rehearsed the parade - footage of these rehearsals showed hundreds of servicemen drilling outside Moscow without observing social distancing.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the military had their own isolation and distancing protocols which allowed them more freedom.

Indonesia hits 9000 COVID-19 cases

By James Massola

In south-east Asia, Indonesia is now reporting 9096 cases of coronavirus infection, up from 8882 the previous day - a rise of 214 cases.

The death toll has risen from 743 people on Sunday to 765; the highest death toll in Asia after China.

The country has now conducted more than 75,000 PCR tests and testing rates are slowing improving - but from a very low base, compared to neighbouring countries.

Thailand has reported its lowest number of new cases of coronavirus in more than six weeks, with just nine new confirmed cases reported on Monday.

This is the smallest single-day increase since March 14 and takes the country's tally 2,931 cases, including 52 deaths.

Strict measures, including a 10pm-4am curfew the closure of malls and restrictions of restaurants to home delivery and take away could be eased in a month.

Singapore, which initially executed a text book response to limit the spread of the coronavirus, is now in the grip of a much wider outbreak.

The island city state reported 799 new cases on Monday, taking the national tally to 14,423.

The vast majority of the country's new cases are in dormitories that house often poorly-paid foreign workers.

The outbreak of the virus in these dorms has largely driven the big spike in infections.

South Korea insists Kim Jong-un is ‘alive and well’

By Eryk Bagshaw

South Korea has issued its strongest response to claims North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is in a vegetative state, saying there is no foundation for the speculation as suggestions grow he is merely being isolated from the coronavirus.

In an unusual explanation of its intelligence penetration in the secretive communist dictatorship, South Korea's top North Korea adviser said Seoul trusted its sources and did not believe the 36-year-old was "gravely ill".

"The Ministry of Unification makes judgment based on facts," South Korea’s Unification Minister Kim Yeon-chul said in a video released on Monday. “The government has enough information capacity to say confidently that there are no unusual trends after evaluating complicated processes including technology information."

Yeon-chul said Kim’s unidentified activities were not exceptional. He said this year alone he had been previously “missing” for 21 days and 19 days.

That assessment was backed up by South Korean national security advisor Moon Chung-in who on Monday told CNN: “Kim Jong-un is alive and well.”

House prices could dive 30 per cent in 'severe downside' scenario

By Clancy Yeates

House prices could tumble by a cumulative 30 per cent over this year and next under the most pessimistic scenario unveiled by National Australia Bank, as it braces for higher defaults caused by the coronavirus crisis.

In the bank's half-year results on Monday, the lender published scenarios setting out the potential economic impact of a "V-shaped" recovery and a more gloomy and prolonged "U-shaped" return to growth.

NAB's results included scenario modelling on the potential economic hit from COVID-19.

NAB's results included scenario modelling on the potential economic hit from COVID-19.

The bank's "base case", or V-shaped scenario, assumed house prices would fall 10 per cent this year along with a sharp increase in unemployment, before property prices recovered slightly with a 2.6 per cent increase in 2021.

Under a "severe downturn" scenario, the bank assumed house prices would plunge 20.9 per cent this year and a further 11.8 per cent in 2021, before a 2.5 per cent increase in 2022.

NAB chief risk officer Shaun Dooley said a key difference between the two scenarios for the economy and house prices was the extent of the hit the coronavirus inflicted on global growth.

Principals fear student influx when school resumes this week

By Jordan Baker and Natassia Chrysanthos

Principals are worried they will be overwhelmed with students this week if frustrated parents ignore government requests to keep children at home for lessons.

The NSW government insists schools are safe, but wants families to continue remote learning until May 11 when students will return to class for one day per week. Schools remain open for those with no other option, and no student will be turned away.

But public school principals worry that mixed messaging from federal and state governments, parental frustration with homeschooling and falling numbers of coronavirus cases will tempt families to send children back when the second term begins on Wednesday.

Private schools, which set their own rules, have seen signs of parental confidence; at Santa Sabina College in Strathfield, about 10 students attended the junior school at the end of last term. On Monday, when term two began, there were 40.

Secondary Principals Council president Craig Petersen said principals were "really concerned about that."

"I know from families I have spoken to, they are so confused. It's really important that people stick with what the Premier said, which is students start returning to school from May 11," he said.

Australia needs to expand testing 'very significantly' before easing restrictions: Chief medical officer

By Sarah Keoghan

Chief medical officer Brendan Murphy has argued the country needs to expand testing significantly before easing restrictions.

Appearing on ABC's 7.30, Professor Murphy said that while the number of downloads of the government's COVID-19 app was encouraging, the expansion of testing needed to be a priority.

"We need to test a lot more people," he said on Monday night. "The sort of numbers we're getting at the moment, below 20 is pretty good.

"If we can continue them and if we expand our testing and we're not finding any more, that's as good as elimination in many respects, because elimination just means you're not detecting any cases."

Mr Murphy said that Australia was in a similar position to New Zealand, who say they are eliminating the virus.

"There's not a great difference between the aggressive suppression we are seeking and elimination," he said. "We're in a very similar place."

COVIDSafe app hits two million downloads

By Sarah Keoghan

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has congratulated Australians after the number of downloads of the government's COVIDSafe app reached two million.

Mr Morrison said that while the country had more to do to stop the spread of the virus, the number of people downloading the app was a step in the right direction.

"Join us in stopping the spread, download it now," he wrote on Twitter.

Earlier today, Health Minister Greg Hunt revealed that the app had been downloaded more than one million times in the 12 hours since it was released on Sunday night.

Former top public servant: I won't download the coronavirus app

By Max Koslowski

Two million Australians will have the coronavirus tracing app on their phones tonight but a top former digital agency public servant won't download it because of the government's track record with people's data.

Professor Lesley Seebeck, the former Digital Transformation Agency chief investment and advisory officer who is now the head of the Australian National University Cyber Institute, said the government had a history of grabbing as much data as it could under technology and security laws.

Chief Medical Officer Professor Brendan Murphy says the take up of the coronavirus tracing app has been strong.

"I am concerned because once these things are taken you don't get them back," Professor Seebeck said. "The government does not have a record of rolling any of these things back."

"We just want an app because we think it's a good idea," she added. "I probably won't be downloading it."

Businesses given JobKeeper extension

By Jennifer Duke

Businesses have been given extra time to pay staff the $1500 a fortnight JobKeeper payment to help those struggling with cash flow issues during the first month.

The Australian Taxation Office has given eligible businesses until 8 May to pay staff the first two tranches of payments worth $3000 for the first four weeks of the JobKeeper scheme.

This move is aimed at helping businesses use the scheme when they are struggling to make the payments and meet other financial obligations before the ATO can refund them.

The scheme was introduced to help companies retain staff during the coronavirus pandemic shut downs, with 900,000 employers expressing interest before enrolment. So far about 500,000 businesses have enrolled, which represents more than 3 million employees.

Assistant Treasurer Michael Sukkar said the extension would give businesses more time to consider their financial circumstances and reduce cash-flow pressures before signing up to the program.

“This means more businesses will be able to pay staff and still be eligible for JobKeeper payments, keeping more Australians connected to their workplace,” Mr Sukkar said.

“Importantly, this extension does not negate the obligation on businesses to ensure they continue to pay eligible employees $1,500 in each JobKeeper fortnight.”

Companies suffering a severe financial downturn due to the pandemic and steps to slow the spread have until 31 May to claim the payments.

As doctors, we are worried about climate change

This was published 4 years ago

As doctors, we are worried about climate change

We are already treating the symptoms. Doctors, standing alongside nurses and other health professionals, are on the frontline in treating people with injuries and disease from severe weather events – such as droughts, bushfires and heatwaves - plus water borne illness… the list goes on.

Worse is coming and that's why for the past 20 years, the health and medical community has tried to raise public awareness of this issue. Unfortunately, the clearly documented and growing health effects aren't often spoken about in Australia. In part, this is due to scarce funding, a hostile political environment and the formidable size and scope of the "modelling exercise" required to begin to describe what will happen if pollution continues at current rates.

However, whilst climate change and health research in Australia is limited we only need to look to our recent history as a portent of things to come.

During the 2009 heatwaves that preceded the Black Saturday bushfires in Victoria there were double the number of deaths from heat related illness as there were from the bushfires. Those most at risk are the very old, very young, people with chronic disease and those on illicit or prescribed medications that mask heat-related stress, as well as those working outdoors or already exposed to high temperatures. It's been documented that asthma presentations to hospitals also increase on such days as well as in dust storms. This is without taking into account the smoke haze created by prescribed burns which are used to prevent bushfires from raging out of control.

Health professionals are already treating the symptoms of climate change.

When a cyclone or (as occurred recently in Adelaide and Brisbane) a wild storm hits, the health effects are widespread, severe and difficult to deal with. Nor are they confined to the day itself. In disaster preparation an event that cripples health infrastructure is referred to as a "complex disaster". This might mean there are hospitals without power, or people with chronic disease unable to access medications. Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans is one example.

While Australia has one of the best disaster response systems in the world, it is dependant on states and territories backing each other up to cope. It is unclear whether even our systems are robust enough to manage as these extreme weather events become more intense and occur more often.

Even without factoring in climate change we know more and more patients will add to the strain on our hospital system as the population increases and ages. We might find new, innovative ways of treating more patients but ultimately we – the health workforce – is a limited resource. It's not difficult to envisage our health system capacity (compounded by staff absenteeism) becoming overwhelmed.

By nature, the medical profession is conservative and doesn't like conflict or making a fuss. We like to be absolutely sure before we do. While you might find varying opinions within the health and medical community about their personal responsibility and action on climate change everyone is uniform in accepting the evidence that shows this problem is only getting worse. Notably, many medical and nursing colleges (and the Australian Medical Association) have formal position statements on climate change.

So where is the urgency - particularly given the less than ten year timeframe towards a "positive feedback loop" situation? This refers to certain tipping points that - once reached – mean exponential and potentially irreversible change. This also happens in serious illness, where even the fittest and healthiest bodies can fail when the primary "insult" (ie trauma, infection) is so large it overwhelms you.

This is where some uncertainty exists about possible changes in the climate system ie what will it look like when the complex web of interactions occurs. The only thing that's certain is it will be everyone's problem.

So, what must be done? Even the most cynical health professional agrees that prevention is better than cure, and while we still have a chance we must try to avoid disaster.

There is much to learn from other countries. For example, the National Health Service in the UK has a sustainability unit that's dramatically cut emissions from health care. Some local private hospital networks have already seen fit to take this pathway. A global network with strong connections in Australia, the Global Green and Healthy Hospitals initiative features many examples of healthcare services leading by example by cutting emissions, and improving population health at the same time.

In national climate policy, Australia lag behinds many wealthy and not so wealthy countries. This is an opportunity missed! Just think of the health benefits of leafy, pedestrian- and cycle-friendly towns and cities, where people are more active and breathing cleaner air.

Health care professionals want to see rapid change, and that's why many of us are advocating for a national strategy on climate change and health in Australia – exemplified by the attendance of many health and medical leaders at a recent roundtable in Parliament House.

This approach offers us the opportunity to co-design policies with government and political parties that ensure health implications are considered when deciding how to tackle climate change – and imbuing such talks with the sense of urgency that the science dictates. We are worried not only for our patients, but also for ourselves and our families.

The cure is known – it's time to act.

In today’s time, everyone is focused on getting the stuff that is both attractive as well as comfortable. Apart from the main things, i.e. clothes and footwears, accessories also play a significant and vital role that affects a person’s look. Sometimes a perfect minimalist accessory can uplift the whole look and sometimes even loading up 5-6 accessories can not do the work.

In this review, we will be gathering all the information about this online store which is operating from the United States and is selling statement pieces of jewellery, gears and decorations and that too at very nominal and affordable prices.

Let’s get into the article to have a detailed account of this website.

What is a Lisian Store?

As we mentioned above, apart from the basic things like the clothing pieces and the footwear, the second thing that counts and can enhance the whole look is an accessory. An accessory can make or break the whole look of a person.

Sometimes, it can make the whole look lively. The website we’ll be talking about today is dealing in Some fantastic and attractive accessory pieces, some decor pieces and gears as well.

All these things are used to make up for the empty spaces or acts as a single element that wakes up the whole area.

So, the website’s collection involves some innovative and unique decor pieces, Some of which can be used on clothing and dresses, some are for household use, and some are just the need of an hour.

So, concluding it, the website has that sort of material that a person can not resist from having.

Specifications of Lisian Store

  • Accessories, decor pieces and gears are the things offered by the website
  • The pieces are attractive and irresistible
  • The things are available at nominal prices
  • Estimated delivery time is 20 days.
  • The website offers 7days return policy
  • Email id:

  • Wide variety to choose from

Cons of  Lisian Store

  • The contact number is not mentioned on the site.

Is Lisian Store Legit?

It is always advised to people to first know about a website or product and then on;y to go forward with its purchase. Same is the case with these websites; it is always advised first to read the full review, gather the complete information and then to go forward with their purchase.

So, in the process of collecting the information about this website, we got to know that this website is not very old and was introduced very recently, i.e., on 2020-07-21 which is just one month and four days old.

The website has mentioned complete information about its processes and procedures. It is a very transparent move and is one thing that impresses the customers as well.

The website has also got great Lisian Store Reviews from the customers as found on the internet. But, it has missed out on the phone number for the people to contact them.

Thus, we would not give a final verdict as the website is very new to the market, and we would take some time to analyse its performance.

What are customer reviews on the website?

As we moved forward to collect some Lisian Store Reviews from the customers, we found that the customers were happy with their purchases as the orders were on time and the quality of the products were also satisfying.

People are praising the customer support provided by this website. Cancellation and assistance on orders is found to be comfortable and secure.

People are loving the products they order from this website. Hence, the reviews are positive and impressive.Final Verdict

We found that the website is recently introduced and is just nearly a month old. Although this website has provided complete information about the company and its processes. This is an impressive move by the company.

People are usually impressed to know everything about the website they are ordering from. The only information this website is missing on is the phone number of the company.

Also, we have collected the Lisian Store Reviews from the customers who were found to be impressive and positive.

Thus, this is too early to give a verdict on the website. So, we would request the customers to collect information and let us also know what they think about this website.

  1. This store is selling stolen art. Even the photos they use are ripped from the original artists Instagram accounts. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

Senior Companion Program

Senior Companions are volunteers, age 55 and over, who provide assistance and friendship to seniors and others who have difficulty with daily tasks. Companions help them live independently, sparing them from moving to expensive institutional care until absolutely necessary

Senior Companions offer their clients contact with the outside world and make their lives less lonely. Senior Companions usually serve one to five clients during 15 to 40 hours of weekly service. Many serve the same client several years to form some of the most meaningful friendships of their lives.

Senior Companions are well trained and responsive to the needs of their clients. They receive a 40 hour orientation before they begin working and four hours monthly in-service training in areas such as Alzheimer's, strokes, diabetes and mental health.

  • They provide respite to relieve primary caregivers for short periods of time.

  • They are often a critical part of a client's "Care Team". Senior Companions alert family members to potential problems, allowing them to provide appropriate care to the client.

  • Senior Companions receive a small tax-free stipend to cover the cost of volunteering. They also receive reimbursement for transportation and an annual examination.

An income of 200% or below federal poverty guidelines is an eligibility requirement for Senior Companions, however there are no income restrictions for clients.

Southern Maryland Tri-County Community Action Committee, Inc. (SMTCCAC) has provided the Senior Companion Program (SCP) to residents of Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's Counties for over 33 years. It is currently funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service to allow 66 volunteers to serve their communities.
