    Quote of the Day 

    "You are what you say and think daily, if only you keep at it. Great men always have a starting point, from their heart via their lips to their lives." ~ Unknown

    Thought for the Day 

    Two kindergarten kids are talking while having a lunch break.

    Girl: What is the capital of America?

    Boy: Washington D. C.

    Girl: No! "A" is the capital of America. You already forgot our lesson: capitalize proper nouns!

    A little boy, at a wedding looks at his mom and says, "Mommy, why does the bride wear white?"

    His mom replies, "The bride is in white because she's happy and this is the happiest day of her life."

    The boys thinks about this, and then says, "Well then why is the groom wearing black..."

    Two men were walking their dogs together. The first guy with a Chocolate lab and the second a Chihuahua.

    The first guy says, "Hey, you want to get something to eat?" The second guy replies, "Yeah, but they all have signs that say 'No Dogs Allowed'."

    The first guy with the lab puts sunglasses on and hands the other guy a pair. "Follow my lead," he says.

    As he walks into the restaurant a waiter stops him and says, "Sir, no dogs allowed."

    The man replies, "It's O.K., this is my seeing eye dog." The waiter apologizes and leads the man to a table as the second man enters.

    The same waiter stops him but the guy says, "This is my seeing eye dog. I'm with the other guy."

    The waiter replies, "Sir, you can't fool me, you have a Chihuahua."

    The man freaks out and says, "A Chihuahua? They gave me a Chihuahua?!"

    This Forktail Swift is an amazing bird as it never stops flying except when it nests. It can fly nonstop for a year catch-ing bugs as the smaller picture shows. They follow storms and use the winds to glide on. Four birds are here at the moment and came in on the northerly rain storm we had mid May. The only time they stop flying is when they nest which they have to do on a cliff or tall building as they need to jump off to get airborne. Their feet are so small they cannot get airborne off the ground.

    Tips to Saving Water in the Garden

    Plant selection

    Consider not only your area's current rainfall, but what's projected for the future.

    Sprinklers

    Look to buy a sprinkler that throws water closer to the ground in large drops.

    Drip irrigation

    Drip irrigation consists of a series of pipes with drippers hanging off them that deliver water directly to where it's needed.

    Irrigation timers

    If you use an irrigation timer, set it to run half the normal time, but run it a second cycle a minimum of half an hour later.

    Watering time

    The best time of the day to water is either just on sunrise or just on sunset, as this minimizes water evaporation.

    Mulch, mulch, mulch

    Mulching retains water. Mulching is one of the most effective ways to reduce water needed in a garden - up to 50%.

    Consider a rainwater tank

    Given the amount of water gardens require; consider adding a rainwater catchment system to your property - it can help act as added insurance for a reasonable supply of water during the dry months or when your local a u t h o r i t i e s i n t r o d u c e restrictions.

    1 in 10 adults and 3 in 10 children get the flu each year…..what is the flu? Many people confuse a “cold” with the ”flu” Both are caused by viruses that are spread easily by close contact with an infected person or object. A cold is caused by viruses that occur at any time of the year. Generally people have good immunity to a cold virus because they have been exposed to it before. They have milder effects, and get better soon. The flu is caused by seasonal viruses that change every year. Often people have not been exposed to these viruses and have poor immunity. Effects are more severe and can lead to complications like pneumonia, especially for the elderly, very young, or people with poor health. What can you do to protect yourself and your family? Stay in good health:

    eat healthy ie: 2 fruit/5 veg get a minimum of 7 hours sleep per night exercise 20 minutes per day (even a 20 minute brisk walk)

    Good hygiene: cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough dispose of tissues after use wash your hands

    Get an annual flu vaccine: Flu season in Australia is from May to October. Vaccines are available from May. The 2016 price is $21.00 and offered free to people who are likely to have complications ie: very young, elderly or people with poor health.

    Some employers offer free flu vaccines to their employees as part of their pandemic planning.

    The IOTs are home to a large number and diversity of land crabs, especially Christmas Island which is well known for its endemic red crab (Gecarcoidea natalis) and their annual migration. Research indicates that there are up to 20 species of land crabs found on Christmas Island and at least 10 on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. On top of this remarkable diversity not matched anywhere in the world, over 100 crab species have been recorded from the reefs and shallow waters around the IOTs and form an important part of the coral reef ecosystem. Crabs can be divided into two groups – the suborder Brachyura or ‘true’ crabs and the suborder Anomura. True crabs such as the red crabs have greatly reduced abdomens which fold beneath their heads. This group includes Mud crabs which are present on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands in low numbers. It also includes many species found on the coral reef, shore crabs and ghost and fiddler crabs. The other group of crabs, Anomura, has larger abdomens and their last pair of legs is greatly reduced in size. Included in this group are the squat lobsters (actually crabs), porcelain crabs, the infamous robber crabs (Birgus latro) found on Christmas Island and Pulu Keeling, and the closely related hermit crabs, often seen in hundreds on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Hermit crabs are often used as bait on Cocos, so the pressure on these crabs is increasing and there are reports of localised depletion.

    Under the proposed recreational fishing rules for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, mud crab species in the genus Scylla will have a bag limit of 2 per day. This means that a person may not take more than 2 mud crabs per day. Berried (egg-carrying crabs) are totally protected and may not be taken so they can breed. Feel free to contact Kim Boothman, Community Education Officer for the IOTs, at any time on [email protected] or Work: 9203 0345 / Mobile: 0418 915 281.

    IOTs adalah tempat tinggal untuk berberapa jumlah dan jenis-jenis kepiting, lagi-lagi di Pulu Christmas yang sangat dikenali untuk kepiting merah (Gecarcoidea natalis) mereka dan migrasi mereka setiap tahun. Penyelidik menandakan yang ada hingga 20 jenis-jenis kepiting yang terdapat di Pulu Christmas dan sekurang-kurangnya 10 jenis di Pulu Cocos (Keeling). Dengan tambahnya pelbagaian yang tidak setanding dalam seluruh dunia, lebih dari 100 jenis kepiting telah direkod daripada batukarang dan lautan kering disekitar IOTs dan merupakan bahgian penting dalam ecosystem batukarang. Kepiting boleh dibagi dalam dua kumpulan - suborder Brachyura atau kepiting ‘asli’ dan suborder Anomura. Kepiting asli seperti kepiting merah mempunyai pengurangan abdomen yang telipat dibawa kepala mereka. Kumpulan ini temasuk Rajungan yang terdapat di Pulu Cocos (Keeling) yang berjumlah sedikit. Ia juga termasuk banyak jenis-jenis yang didapati dibatukarang, kepiting dipantai dan kepiting mata panjang dan kepiting gelimah. Kumpulan kepiting lain, Anomura, mempunyai abdomen yang lebih besar dan kedua kaki belakangnya sangat kecil. Yang termasuk dalam kumpulan ini ialah ‘squat lobsters’ (ternyata kepiting), ‘porcelain crabs’, dan yang terkenal udang darat ataupun udang gostan (Birgus latro) yang terdapat di Pulu Christmas dan Pulu Keeling, dan jenis terdekatnya umpan, yang biasa dilihat beratusan di Pulu Cocos (Keeling). Umpan biasa digunakan sebagai gaitan di Cocos, jadi ancaman terhadap mereka menambah dan telah ada

    laporan kekurangan mereka ditempat-tempat tertentu. Dibawa undang-undang pemancingan rekreasi yang dicadangkan untuk Pulu Cocos (Keeling), jenis-jenis ranjungan dalam keluarga genus Scylla akan mempunyai bag limit 2 dalam sehari. Ini bermaksud yang seorang tidak boleh mengambil lebih daripada 2 rajungan dalam sehari. Kepiting-kepiting yang sedang bertelor dijaga keseluruhnya dan tidak boleh diambil supaya mereka dapat membuat keturunan. Silahkan hubungi Kim Boothman, Community Education Officer untuk IOT, bila-bila masa saja di [email protected] atau Kerjaan: 9203 0345 / Mobile: 0418 915 281.

    Dodgy property spruikers promise the earth but deliver thin air You might have seen or heard ads from property spruikers currently travelling around Australia claiming to be ‘wealth creators’. The type who offer ‘free’ seminars which can include free meals, catchy chants, expensive wine give-aways to a lucky participant, and all sorts of gimmicky amusing add-ons. Well, there’s an old saying ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’ and these seminars prove the point. Seminar participants are put under incredible pressure to sign on the dotted line or miss out on the ‘deal of a lifetime’. Sure there are some companies out there who offer realistic property investment opportunities, but it’s not these guys. They’re rogue operators who use high pressure sales tactics to get people to sign up before getting proper, independent advice. If you sign up at these seminars you’re more likely to lose money than make it. Consumer Protection suggests you don’t bother getting information or attending these seminars. The spruikers pretend to be financial advisers who can help you make lots of money through property investments with low risk, but this definitely isn’t the case. The sad truth is they are just in it for themselves, accept generous commissions once the deal is done, and leave investors with a dud deal. We’re joining other Australian states in a national campaign fronted by Paul Clitheroe. We advise you always get independent professional advice, identify realistic returns and know the legal and financial risks associated with any investment before signing a contract. In particular always be wary if a seminar promoter, or other property advisor: - advises you to buy an investment property you can’t see/ hasn’t been built; - plays down the risks and costs, and side-steps questions; - gets you to buy expensive courses, books and DVDs to learn their ‘secrets’ (promotional material that doesn’t mention goods will be sold and

    offer a 10 business day cooling off period breaches consumer law); - offers loans so you can sign up for more investment courses; or - pressures you into signing up on the day. In particular avoid rent-to-buy schemes. These target people desperate to get into the housing market or who are finding it difficult to sell their home. Rent-to-buy contracts require you to pay a deposit as well as a premium on top of rent in the hope of purchasing the property at a later date. All this can be lost if, in the end, finance can’t be raised to eventually complete the sale.

    Penipuan pembujuk harta menjanjikan sedunia tetapi memberikan setipis angin saja Ada yang mungkin pernah lihat atau mendengar advertais dari pembujuk harta yang sedang melawat sekeliling Australia dan menyatakan mereka “pencipta kekayaan”. Mereka jenis yang menawarkan seminar ‘free’ yang termasuk makanan free, bilangan yang menarik, pembagian wine yang mahal-mahal untuk peserta yang bernasib baik, dan berbagai lagi tambahan-tambahan menarik. Jadi, ada pepatah lama ‘Tidak ada perkara yang seperti makan tengah hari free’ dan seminar-seminar seperti ini membuktikan titik pepatah ini. Peserta seminar diletak dalam desakan yang berat untuk menyain dibarisan titik atau melepas dalam ‘keuntungan seumur hidup’. Memang ada kompani-kompani yang menawarkan peluang investment harta yang berkenyataan, tetapi bukan mereka ini. Mereka ini operator pengembara yang menggunakan taktik jualan desakan yang berat untuk mendapatkan orang untuk menyain sebelom mendapat nasihat yang baik dan daripada pihak independent. Kalau kamu menyain untuk seminar ini kamu mungkin akan rugi keuwangan daripada menambah. Consumer Protection menasihatkan jangan kesah untuk mengambil keterangan atau hadir kepada seminar ini. Penbujuk pura-pura untuk menjadi penasihat keuwangan yang boleh membantu kamu mendapatkan uwang yang banyak melalui investment harta dengan risiko yang rendah, tetapi ternyata bukan sedemikian. Kenyataan sebenarnya ialah mereka hanya berbuat semua ini untuk diri mereka sendiri, mendapat commission yang besar setelah mendapat persetujuan, dan meninggalkan investor dengan persetujuan palsu. Kita bergabung dengan state Australia yang lain-lain dalam campaign nasional yang dimengemukakan oleh Paul Clitheroe. Kami menasihati supaya kamu selalu dapatkan nasihat professional tersendiri, pendapatan identiti yang berkenyataan dan risiko keuwangan yang berkenaan dengan segala investment sebelom menyain kontrak. Selalu berhati-hati jika penganjur seminar, atau penasihat harta lain: - menasihati kamu untuk membeli harta investment yang kamu tidak boleh lihat/belom lihat dibuat; - memainkan risiko dan ongkos, dan mengelakkan soalan; - membuat kamu membeli buku-buku course yang mahal dan DVDs untuk belajar ‘rahasia’ mereka (alat-alat promosi yang tidak menyatakan

    apa yang dijual dan menawar masa 10 hari ‘cooling off’ pelanggaran undang-undang pengguna; - menawar duit pinjaman supaya kamu boleh menyain untuk course investment lebih; atau - mendesak kamu untuk menyain hari itu juga.

    Khususnya hindari skema sewa-untuk-membeli. Ini target orang sangat-sangat mau memasuki ke market rumah atau yang mengalami kesusahan untuk menjual rumah mereka. Kontrak sewa-untuk-membeli menggunakan kamu membayar deposit dan temasuk premium diatas sewaan, dalam harapan untuk membeli harta itu dimasa hadapan. Semua ini boleh hilang, dipenghujungnya, keuwangan tidak boleh dituruti dan akhirnya tidak boleh menyelesaikan jualan.

    Family law I – you must try to negotiate about some family law disputes before you can apply to the Family Court of WA These are short articles about legal issues that may interest you. They are not legal advice. You should always get individual legal advice for your situation. This article and the next article will deal with the requirement for separated couples to try to negotiate about their dispute about property settlement or about children before either of them can apply to the Family Court to ask the Court to make orders. The requirement to negotiate does not apply in cases of divorce or child support applications. There are also some situations where you will not need to comply with the requirement to negotiate. The requirement to negotiate also applies to other people (for eg, grandparents) who are significant in children’s lives and are having a dispute with a child’s parent or parents about their role and ability to develop a relationship with the child. The requirement to negotiate about disputes about your property settlement after you separate A “property settlement” is the division of the property of a relationship after a couple (married or de facto) separates. It is in the form of orders made by the Family Court. The orders are intended to end the financial relationship of the separated couple. Where you and your ex-partner agree on your property settlement, you can ask the Family Court to make orders to reflect your agreement. This is called an application for orders “by consent.” It is done by filing a Form 11 Application for Consent Orders (see the Family Court of WA website) with the Family Court. In cases where you cannot agree, the Family Court generally requires you to comply with the “pre-action procedures” before you are allowed to file an application in the Family Court to ask the Court to make orders for property settlement. The idea behind the pre-action procedures is to try to get peo-ple who have separated to make a genuine effort to resolve their dispute before they are allowed to apply to the Family Court. To comply with the pre-action procedures you must send the other party a copy of the pre-action procedures, investigate what alternative dispute resolution services are available and invite your ex-partner to attend family dispute resolution with you. The procedures then set out what happens next if the other party refuses to attend dispute resolution with you or you do not reach agreement. The procedures are available on the Family Court of WA website. There are exceptions to having to comply with the pre-action procedures. You usually won’t be required to comply with them where:

    there is a risk of family violence, there is a risk of fraud a time limit is close to expiring the other party has refused to negotiate you could be disadvantaged if the other party knew you wanted to start family proceedings the matter is urgent or you have filed an application about the same problem in the last 12 months.

    You should get legal advice if you think you do not have to comply with the pre-action procedures. The requirement to negotiate about disputes about your children after you separate Except in certain circumstances, the Family Court requires that parents must first try to negotiate an agreement before they are allowed to file an ap-plication in the Family Court to ask the Court to make orders about the arrangements for their children. This process is called “Compulsory Family Dispute Resolution.” So if you want to file an application for parenting orders (Form 1 application), you must also file one of two things with your Family Court application:

    A certificate from a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (a “FDRP”); or An application for an exemption from having to have this certificate.

    You would normally only file a Form 1 application for parenting orders if:

    family dispute resolution has been unsuccessful; or you want to be exempt from having to take part in family dispute resolution and having to get a certificate.

    If your family dispute resolution has been successful you may be filing Form 11 Application for Consent Orders or have entered into a parenting plan. You can file an application for an exemption from having to have a FDR certificate if:

    There has been child abuse, or a risk of it; There has been family violence, or there is a risk of it; The matter is very urgent; There has been a serious breach of Family Court orders that were made in the last 12 months; It is not possible to participate in family dispute resolution.

    It is usually best to get legal advice before you file an application for an exemption. There are different requirements as to what else you need to file with the Exemption Form depending on what ground of exemption you are relying on. The Family Court of WA has an Exemption Form kit on its website that can help you fill in the form and tell you any other documents you need. In the next article we will talk in more detail about the FDR process and getting an FDR certificate for parenting disputes. Annie Gray, Legal Aid WA

    Undang-undang Keluarga I - kamu mesti mencoba untuk berunding tentang berberapa perselisihan undang-undang keluarga sebelom kamu boleh mengadu kepada Family Court of WA

    Ini adalah majalah-majalah pendek tentang perkara hukum yang mungkin menarik keminatan kamu. Mereka bukan nasihat menurut hukum. Kamu mesti selalu mendapatkan nasihat hukum untuk keadaan kamu. Majalah ini dan majalah seterusnya akan berurusan dengan keperluan untuk pasangan yang terpisah untuk coba berunding tentang perselisihan mereka mengenai bagian harta atau anak-anak sebelom mereka mengemukakan ke Family Court untuk meminta Mahkamah menurunkan perintah. Keperluan untuk berunding tidak diperlukan dalam kes perceraian atau pemintaan sokongan anak-anak. Ada juga berberapa keadaan dimana kamu tidak diperlukan untuk mengikut keperluan untuk berunding. Keperluan untuk berunding juga diperlukan untuk orang lain (untuk nenek/atok, contohnya) yang terlibat dalam kehidupan anak-anak dan mempunyai perselisihan dengan ibu/bapak anak itu tentang tugas dan kebolehan mereka untuk mengembangkan perhubungan dengan anak itu.

    Keperluan untuk berunding tentang perselisihan untuk pembahgian harta setelah kamu terpisah Sebuah “pembahgian harta” adalah bagian harta dalam perhubungan setelah pasangan (berkahwin ataupun tinggal bersama) terpisah. Ia berada dalam form perintahan oleh Family Court. Perintahan ini mempunyai tujuan untuk mengakhiri perhubungan keuwangan pasangan yang berpisah. Dimana kamu dan bekas-pasangan kamu bersetuju dalam pembahgian harta, kamu boleh bertanya Family Court untuk membuat pemerintahan untuk mencerminkan persetujuan kamu. Ini dipanggil lamaran untuk pemerintahan “by consent” (dengan persetujuan). Ini dilakukan dengan mengisi Form 11 Application for Consent Orders (lihat di website Family Court of WA) dengan Family Court. Dalam kes yang tidak boleh disetujukan, Family Court biasanya meminta kemu untuk menuruti dengan “pre-action procedures” sebelom kamu dibenarkan memasukkan lamaran ke Family Court untuk meminta Mahkamah untuk membuat pemerintahan untuk pembahgian harta. Idea dibelakang syarat ini ialah untuk coba galakkan orang-orang yang telah berpisah untuk membuat keusahaan yang asli untuk menyelesaikan perselisihan mereke sebelom mengemukakannya ke Family Court. Untuk mengikut aturan tindakkan sebelomnya kamu mesti mengirim pihak sebelah salinan aturan tindakkan sebelomnya, menyelidik serbis penyelesaian perselisihan yang tersedia dan menjumput bekas-pasangan kamu untuk hadir penyelesaian perselisihan keluarga dengan kamu. Aturan lalu menetapkan apa yang harus berkalu jika pihak sebelah menolak untuk hadir dengan kamu atau kamu tidak dapat persetujuan. Aturan disediakan di website Family Court of WA. Ada perkara yang kecualikan untuk kamu menuruti dengan aturan tindakkan sebelomnya. Kamu biasanya tidak diperlukan untuk menurut dengannya kalau:

    ada risiko keganasan keluarga, ada risiko penipuan batasan masa singkat untuk berakhir pehak sebelah menolak untuk berunding kamu bisa kerugian jika pihak lain tahu kamu ingin memulai proses keluarga perkaranya penting atau kamu telah mengisi application tentang masaalah yang sama dalam 12 bulan yang lepas.

    Kamu mesti mendapatkan nasihat menurut hukum kalai kamu rasa kamu tidak perlu menjalankan aturan tindakkan sebelomnya.

    Keperluan untuk berunding tentang perselisihan tentang anak-anak setelah kamu berpisah Kecualikan keadaan-keadaan tertentu, Family Court memerlukan yang ibubapak pertama mesti coba untuk berunding persetujuan sebelom mereka diizinkan melapor kepada Family Court meminta Mahkamah membuat pemerintahan terhadap pengurusan anak-anak. Process ini dinamakan “Compulsory Family Dispute Resolution.” Jadi kalau kamu mau melaporkan untuk pemerintahan ibubapak (Form 1 application), kamu mesti melaporkan satu diantara dua perkara kepada lamaran Family Court kamu:

    Certificate dari Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (a “FDRP”); atau Lamaran untuk pembebasan daripada certificate ini.

    Kamu akan biasanya mengisi Form 1 untuk pemerintahan ibubapak kalau: penyelesaian perselisihan keluarga tidak berhasil; atau kamu mau pembebasan daripada terlibat dalam penyelesaian perselisihan keluarga dan mengadakan certificate.

    Kalau penyelesaian perselisihan keluarga kamu telah berhasil kamu munkin memasuki Form 11 Application for Consent Orders atau memasuki rencana ibubapak. Kamu boleh memasukkan surat untuk membebaskan kamu dari FDR certificate kalau:

    Telah ada penyiksaan anak-anak, atau ada risiko ia terjadi; Pernah ada kejadian keganasan keluarga, atau ada risiko ia terjadi; Perkaranya sangat penting; Telah ada pelanggaran perintahan Family Court yang serius yang telah dilakukan dalam 12 bulan yang lewat; Ia tidak mungkin untuk mengambil bahagian dalam penyelesaian perselisihan keluarga.

    Ia biasanya lebih baik untuk mendapatkan nasihat hukum sebelom membuat laporan untuk pembebasan. Ada berberapa keperluan dalam apa yang diperlukan dengan Exemption Form mengikut keadaan pembebasan yang kamu bergantung. Family Court of WA ada Exemption Form kit di website yang boleh membantu kamu mengisi form dan memberitahu surat-surat yang kamu perlukan. Dimajalah seterusnya kita akan bicarakan lebih berkenaan proses FDR dan mendapatkan FDR certificate untuk perselisihan ibubapak. Annie Gray, Legal Aid WA

    Exercises for Lower Back Pain

    The lower back pain that is also called the chronic back pain is a very common problem of adults and aged people worldwide, the causes of these pains are different for different people and various treatments are also available for them.

    Many times the medical treatments are suggested for such pains but I must tell you that there are many exercises that can give you even better results than the medicines.

    Let’s discuss some of the most common exercises that are suggested for the lower back pain.

    The most common cause of lower back pain that is noticed in lots of people is the muscle strain or some injury, the best treatment for the back pain that is caused due to this reason is rest. Don’t keep a posture for a long time and try to take as much rest as you can. Because resting will give comfort to your muscles and this relaxation will also decrease their inflammation that is actually causing this pain.

    People should try to stay active in their daily routine because their slow pace is causing back pain.

    The complete exercises to lower the back pain are pretty simple and easy to do at home; if you are not aware of them then you can over the internet.

    Deep breathing has been found to be very affective for the body muscles, for the back pain, lay down on the floor and raise your hips as much as you can. While the hips are in the air practice the deep breathing and stay in this form as much as you can.

    Stretching is also useful for your lower back pain, to stretch up the muscles of your lower back lie down straight on the ground and relax for some time. Now raise both your legs towards the sky and raise them as much as you can. This is a good stretching practice for the lower back muscles which will effectively relax them.

    So these were some of my suggestions regarding the lower back pain, I know the pain really becomes too severe but these simple things will help you to get yourself out of that situation without the aid of medicines.

    How do I do it?

    The object is to insert the numbers in the boxes to satisfy only one condition: each row, column and group of squares enclosed by the bold lines must contain the digits 1 through 9 exactly once. The rules for different size and shape puzzles are pretty much identical. The different size puzzles simply require a different set of numbers.
