ANITA

FOR Oxley singer songwriter Linda Simpson, music, and meaningful lyrics, are potent forces capable of changing the world.

Her love for music developed in childhood, when she was constantly watching any movie musical she could, and she was a keen dancer during her teen years before beginning singing in earnest during her twenties.

Since her youth, she has been inspired by the work of musicians such as U2 and Mark Seymour, and in recent years has translated her passion for human rights and social justice into song, encouraged by local musician Luke Davies and others.

Her work was recognised recently when two of her songs won prizes in the national “Change The World With Your Song” songwriting competition.

One song, Compassionate Country, inspired by the plight of refugees and asylum seekers, received second prize in the competition, while another piece, Brangie Moon, based around local indigenous history, was recognised with a certificate of commendation.

Both songs were supported by the music of her long-time friend and musical collaborator, Rutherglen multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger and producer, Chris Mangan.

Ms Simpson said she felt compelled to reach out to others through her music, especially given the current volatile state of the world and its politics.

“When you love your country, you have a duty to speak out when you believe it has done the wrong thing,” Ms Simpson said.

“I’ve always been drawn to defend and protect the innocent, and fight against injustice.

“I’ve always gotten into trouble for not being able to keep quiet, but I feel everyone has a responsibility to speak up and out – bad things happen when we don’t. continued page |

MONEY MATTERS

GARDEN HINTS

Kangaroo paws TAKING STOCK: Discussion or controversy on social media can affect share prices, according to a recent report.

Social media can affect share prices SHARE prices of companies listed on the ASX can be affected significantly by social media, a Melbourne researcher has found in a just-released report.

After studying 3516 ASX releases, Maria Prokofieva, a senior lecturer in accounting and finance at Victoria University, also found that companies were well rewarded for putting extra effort into reaching investors.

This is because individual investors are limited in time and resources and are unable to track all securities and their announcements.

That means prices don’t always reflect all available information.

A Sydney expert in investor social media, David Coe, says Ms Prokofieva’s research confirms separate research by Stanford, Indiana and Manchester Universities, which also shows social media affects share prices. “This is why Bloomberg now provides social media analytics to its clients.

“It is why the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq support their companies – especially smaller companies - with investor social media,� said Mr Coe, the managing editor of investor social media agency Investor Torque. “As Ms Prokofieva says in her report, social media enables companies to grab investors’ attention and lead them closer to the decision to invest.

Ms Prokofieva’s research finds that investor social media helps ASX companies in four ways: t Reach investors. Smaller companies, which are generally less visible to investors because they get less coverage by the press and analysts, tend to be more effective in employing Twitter to engage with investors. t (FU IFBSE Social media enables companies to establish a direct rapport with their existing and potential investors instead of relying on the business press and analysts to promote their financial information.

t Be known. Including hyperlinks in tweets increases retweeting and attracts the attention of more investors. t Be understood. Including hashtags makes it easier to find and share information about companies and topics relevant to them.

Ms Prokofieva points out that social media can also be used as a weapon against companies, which means companies without a social voice are leaving their critics to dominate the conversation and harm their share prices.

To counter false markets, the ASX now requires all listed companies to monitor social media for credible rumours and potential announcement leaks.

Ms Prokofieva says the additional corporate resources required to comply with this means social media has become a critical point requiring attention from investors, companies, regulators and IT experts alike.

BESIDES the mighty eucalyptus, kangaroo paws are one of the most iconic of Australian plants.

They are recognised by the clusters of claw like furry velvet flowers on upright stems which emerge from the base of clumps of leaves at ground level.

Kangaroo paws belong to the genus Anigozanthos, which has 11 species.

The closely related black kangaroo paw is called Macropidia fulginosa.

Both occur naturally only in the southwest of Western Australia.

Kangaroo paws grow in a wide range of soils, providing they are well draining.

They do best in a sunny position but still do well in part shade.

They are frost tender but once established they are quite drought tolerant.

They benefit from regular watering during the flowering period, which starts in spring and can continue through to late summer and early autumn, depending on the variety.

Kangaroo paws make excellent cut flowers and are highly sought after by the florist industry.

They are exported around the globe and grown commercially in America, Japan and Israel.

Flower colours vary from red through to orange, yellow and pink, green, white and black.

WITH DEBBI GIBSON, HORTICULTURALIST

The tallest growing are the Anigozanthos flavidus hybrids, which are the hardiest and longest lived which can grow to two metres tall.

Smaller varieties, suitable for pots and garden borders include the Bush Gems range.

Anigozanthos ‘Bush Inferno’, has bright red flowers, Anigozanthos ‘Bush Gold’ is yellow and Anigozanthos ‘Bush Pearl’ has vibrant pink flowers. New plants can also be produced by dividing established clumps.

This is best done in spring or early autumn.

Lift the plants out of the ground, split into sections, wash off the old soil and pot into fresh potting mix or straight in the garden.

If you want to try growing kangaroo paws from seed, Yates has a Kangaroo Paw Mix in its packet seed range which contains a blend of yellow, red and green flowers.

When flowering has finished cut back hard, to ground level to promote healthy new growth and lots more flowers for next season.

Happy gardening.

Feline immunodeficiency virus FELINE immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a reasonably common virus in Australia with an estimated one quarter of the cat population in Victoria infected.

The disease is most commonly spread by biting and often seen in entire, free roaming male cats.

There is a large stray/feral cat population around Wangaratta which allows the disease to continue to spread.

An important point to note is that FIV, although similar to HIV, cannot spread to humans.

If a cat is infected by FIV they may appear normal for most of their life.

Over time the virus stops the immune system being able to protect the cat from every day infections.

It is these infections that are responsible for most of the symptoms we see.

During initial infection with FIV the cat may show lymph node enlargement and fever but more often than not this stage of infection goes unnoticed.

As the immune system loses the ability to protect the cat we often

see recurrent illness be it respiratory signs, skin infections, dental disease, bladder infections or other.

Often FIV positive cats will have a poor coat and reduced appetite when fever is present.

The condition is routinely tested for with a blood test and is easily protected against through a course of vaccinations.

To reduce the risk of exposure to infected cats keep your cat indoors, especially at night.

If your cat is diagnosed with FIV it does not mean that nothing can be done.

Although the virus itself is not treatable the secondary infections can be managed.

If you are concerned about your cat and potential FIV exposure contact your veterinarian to discuss testing.

Felicity Miller, Veterinarian

PETS CORNER THIS week’s pet of the week at the Wangaratta RSPCA is Charlie, a desexed male domestic shorthair cat who is black and white in colour and six years and four months old.

SPEAKING OUT: Linda Simpson (right) at a 2014 rally in Albury with husband Geoff.

“I greatly admire artists who use their songwriting to get a message across to a wider audience.�

She said that she felt particular empathy for refugees and asylum seekers, marginalised indigenous people, and those who are homeless or in poverty, and said it was essential for anyone considering the issues surrounding them to put themselves in their shoes. “I don’t know how anyone can genuinely do that and not feel sympathy, empathy, compassion, and want to do something to help, even if it’s just sharing a post on social media about the subject,� she said.

She said that compassion and understanding were also essential when it comes to the global political climate. “There’s a lot of fear going on in the world right now, which always leads to bad things, such as persecution and war – both of which lead to more displacement and refugees,� she said. “It’s important to investigate and be informed. “Ordinary people do have power to make change happen. “Due to the failure of our politicians, more people

Compassionate Country Š 2014 – Linda Simpson You sailed ‘cross the ocean to find a new life, start anew.

You’re greeted with suspicion, then thrown in detention too.

The government’s gone mad, in a world full of fear.

But I want you to know, that you’re welcome right here.

And I want, a compassionate country.

Left one kind of hell for another, on island Nauru.

Your family’d been killed so you fled, what’s a poor boy to do?

Will the tears of the many, make up for the few?

Whose hearts clenched in anger, make them bitter and blue.

An’ I want, a compassionate country. Yeah I want, a compassionate country.

Is it so hard to imagine, the pain and the fear?

That drove them from home, all the way over here.

The killings, the torture, the beatings, the rape.

To risk all on a leaky boat, just to try and escape.

And I want, a compassionate country.

Locked up, don’t know how long, for no crime in a living hell hole.

We treat murderers better, they have chance at an early parole.

Now you die of neglect, from those with no souls.

Obsessed with their fears and their meaningless polls.

And I want, a compassionate country. I want, a compassionate country.

Imprisoned on an island, a pawn in a game.

A warning to others, who might try the same.

But the people have spoken, said ‘Not In My Name’.

When humanity’s broken, we all share the shame.

And I want, a compassionate country. Oh I want, a compassionate country.

I want, I want Yeah I want, a compassionate country.

FISHING FOCUS

CATCH OF THE WEEK

Name:

Dylan Woehl (aged 8), Alexandra

Catch:

Murray Cod

Size

50cm

Bait:

Cheese

Location: The Catch: TASTY BAIT: Patrick Henderson caught this magnificent 59cm Murray cod using tasty cheese for bait in the Ovens River in Wangaratta last week. Patrick released this fish so that other lucky anglers can have the pleasure of one day catching it. Well done Patrick.

Murray cod can’t resist the cheese THE fluctuating weather and water conditions continue across the region, making it very hard to pick where and when to go fishing.

Overall there has been a bit of a slowdown to the Murray cod fishing, however, they have not shut down completely and many people are still catching fish, some of which have been quite large.

I have heard reports of several very large Murray cod over 100cm long being caught in the far lower reaches of the Ovens River where the water is backed up by Lake Mulwala around Bundalong.

These cod have been caught on deep diving hard body lures, and at least one of them that I know of was caught on surface lures.

Cheese is the most popular

BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA

Murray cod bait in the river at the moment. Many people are having great success using cheese as bait.

There is a belief that cheese is no good for cod as it blocks there digestive system and they die.

I personally think this is a concocted load of garbage for a number of reasons.

With the amount of cod that have been caught in the Wangaratta region on cheese recently, where are all of the dead fish floating?

I have not seen one.

I have had one report of redfin being caught at Lake William Hovell on soft plastics fished from a kayak with most fishing being really small and two being large enough to keep.

My informant, who wishes to remain nameless, said that he was just drifting and gently bobbing his soft plastic up and down along the bottom.

I have also had one report of a few trout being caught in the King River at Cheshunt on small minnow type lures.

This is the first report I have had of trout from that area for many years, and not a lot of fish were caught, but it is great to know that there’s still a few in there.

SUDOKU HARD

YOUR HEALTH MOVIE

My child is constipated, and I don’t know why?

Live by Night (MA15+) IN 1920s Boston, liquor is flowing, bullets are flying, and prohibition has given rise to an endless network of underground distilleries, speakeasies, gangsters, and corrupt cops.

Joe Coughlin, the youngest son of a prominent police captain, has long since turned his back on his strict and proper upbringing, but life on the dark side carries a heavy price.

CONSTIPATION is a common disorder in children that can lead into a lifetime of “normal” bowel motions (BM) being large, hard and passed once a week, if that.

This is not “normal” nor is it healthy.

Bowel motions should occur daily, easy to pass and have minimal odour to them.

They should be a decent sized “log”, and there should be no blood, mucous or pain associated with the motion.

Constipation and over the counter treatments such as laxatives, if used too often can lead to a lazy bowel and result in the rectum becoming stretched and allows a large amount of faecal matter to accumulate there and results in accidents leaving the child embarrassed.

Signs of constipation may include: · Stomach cramps or pain · Loss of appetite · Anal fissures (small slits in the skin) resulting in bleeding · A child that holds on because a BM is too painful · BM is large, knotted or difficult to pass with lots of grunting or straining. · BM is like sheep poosmall and pebbly Causes of constipation · Food intolerances: cause

inflammation in the gut and slows down transit time · Anxiety or embarrassment: some kids have a real phobia about pooing outside of their own house. · Diet: drying foods such as bread, pastas, chips, boxed cereals such as rice bubbles, cornflakes etc and biscuits suck any moisture out of the gut and bowel leaving the left over faecal matter dry and hard. · Some kids are too preoccupied with playing/ watching tv and don’t want to take time out to go to the toilet.

When to seek help from your naturopath · If you are using laxatives- of any form more than 3-4 times a year. · Earlier rather than later.

Bad habits are easier to retrain at a young age rather than later in life when the bowel has become lazy. · The problem is getting worse. · You are struggling with making dietary changes.

How naturopaths help · Identify any foods that may be causing intolerances

or allergy type reactions.

Once identified we help you remove the food and show you how to introduce alternatives. · Diet: remove drying foods as mentioned above and replace one meal a day with smoothies- LSA, Chia, frozen fruit, handful of spinach (they won’t taste it.. trust me!) some jalna vanilla full fat yoghurt and water.

Fruit and veg, porridge with stewed fruit, · Hydration. It is vital.

Your child should be drinking only water. No juice, cordials, soft drinks etc, and milk should be kept to one small glass / day total. Your aim is 30ml/ kg of body weight as a minimum. This keeps the BM soft and easy to pass. · Potty time: after a meal when the child is relaxed, get them to sit on the toilet for 10 minutes without pushing or straining. Use a sticker chart if you have to. · Have a small stool for children to rest their feet on so their pelvis is in the correct position. · Be positive - and encourage them every time.

There is a wonderful depth and length of flavour, jam packed with blackberry, dark chocolate and richly spicy oak.

That generous flavour lingers and is wonderfully intense; staying with you long after the mouthful has disappeared.

Just take care, because as a partner for red meat, this is one of those wines you’ll walk over hot coals to get your hands on before the next barbecue.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY

Wangaratta Hospital, 1871 THE movement to have a hospital for Wangaratta had been simmering for a number of years, but was given a powerful impetus by the floods of 1870.

Cut off from the district’s major hospital in Beechworth, the residents of Wangaratta and its immediate district felt

particularly vulnerable, and plans to build the local hospital were pushed ahead.

Quiet satisfaction was felt on January 25, 1871 when the mayor, in the presence of distinguished visitors from around the district, did the honours with the foundation stone.

PACKING a healthy lunch that’ll be all gobbled up is a daily challenge, but the benefits of packing a healthy school lunchbox are enormous.

A good diet is essential for growth and development in children, but also for simply giving them the energy to be kids.

Amanda Menegazzo from The Dairy Kitchen says “Keep it simple by remembering to include something from each of the five core foods groups. Plenty of veggies, fruit, meat or meat alternatives, dairy and wholegrains.”

If you’re after some inspiration for healthy lunchbox combinations, try this recipe from The Dairy Kitchen and find several more ideas on The Dairy Kitchen website (www.legendairy.com.au) or their Facebook site.

You will need 2 cups cauliflower crumbs.

Remove from the processor.

3 Process rolled oats in the food processor until fine.

Add quinoa, cauliflower crumbs, eggs, onions, cheese and lemon to the food processor and pulse until just combined.

Season to taste and set mixture aside.

4 Make salsa by tossing together all ingredients. Set aside.

5 Thinly cover the base of a large frying pan with oil and heat over medium-high heat.

Drop 1/4 cups of mixture into the pan and fry, in batches, for 3-5 minutes on each side, turning carefully with an egg flip.

Cool slightly before serving with salsa.

Handy Hints: Tri-colour quinoa is a blend of white, red and black quinoa. Substitute any coloured quinoa if unavailable. If you don’t have a food processor try grating the cauliflower, use quick oats and toss everything together in a bowl.

INGREDIENTS

THERE is nothing quite like getting the barbecue fired up and cooking up a storm in the great outdoors.

Whether you’ve got a baby-sized Hibachi, a gas four-burner or one of those glamourous outdoor kitchens that cost as much as a small car, it’s as much about the process as it is about the taste.

Recently we’ve been getting into cooking over real charcoal and just getting it fired up and watching the smoke drift on the evening breeze is enough to whet the appetite.

Pop on a well-seasoned T-bone, wait until the flames pipe up and lick the flesh and you’ve got yourself a bit of pure barbie magic with very little effort.

We enjoyed our beefy feast with a bottle of Rutherglen Estates Durif, made from fruit growing happily in the region’s warm climate and picked at varying stages of ripeness.

TECH AND SCIENCE

Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff WITH CHRIS FEBVRE, NEM CREATIVE DESIGNER cfebvre@nemedia.com.au

THE concept of time travel is a sticky and convoluted little pickle that has been tackled in a great many ways in science fiction literature and films.

From ‘Back to the Future’ to ‘Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’, to ‘The Time Machine’ - the novel by H.G. Wells that arguably spawned our obsession with the idea - time travel has kept us entertained and scratching our head for years.

One of the most well known paradoxes surrounding the problems inherent with time travel is that of ‘The Grandfather Paradox’, and it goes like this: 1) Bobby invents a time machine and travels back in time to 1954.

2) Bobby meets his grandfather before his grandfather has had children.

3) Bobby then kills his grandfather.

4) In so doing, Bobby has destroyed the causal link that led to his birth, meaning that he never existed at all.

But if Bobby never existed, then he never killed his grandfather.

Hence the paradox.

It is paradoxes like this that physicists like Stephen Hawking use to argue that time travel into the past must be impossible - barring some kind of multiverse theory in which time travellers actually hop through different, parallel universes in addition to time.

But Doron Friedman, a computer scientist at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel has designed a program that is able to track back and

PRO-TIP: Philosophers and physicists advise against travelling back in time and inadvertently killing your own grandfather. Doing so could result in the cessation of your existence, and could potentially destroy time and space itself in a spectaular, universe-shattering paradox. forth chains of events and offer logical solutions to paradoxes, and it has succeeded in offering a solution to the ‘Grandfather Paradox’.

Doron used a simplified version of the paradox, in which the protagonist goes back in time and kills his own father instead of his grandfather, but the paradox is the same.

When the paradox was run through the program, it noted the contradiction and then offered a number of solutions.

It’s most interesting solution went as follows:

1) Bobby’s father, Bill, also invents a time machine in the past (unbeknownst to Bobby).

2) Bill travels forward in time one year and impregnates Bobby’s mother, then travels back in time to his present, right before Bobby arrives from the future in his own time machine and kills him.

3) Even though Bill is killed by Bobby, Bobby continues to exist due to his mother already being pregnant with him, one year in the future.

Okay, okay, it sounds like the really cheesy plot of a B grade movie,

and it does open up a few more questions and potential plot holes, but when you consider this solution was dreamt up by a computer, it’s not too bad, and it did solve the paradox it was tasked with solving.

And the algorithm used to solve the paradox is a complex work of art in itself.

Moreover, as fun and interesting as it is to task computers with inventing time travel plots, Friedman’s program does have a more serious and productive purpose.

It’s main purpose is to run virtual reality scenarios for job training or psychological rehabilitation.

A program that is able to calculate cause and effect and offer solutions can be extremely useful for training, offering the trainee a way of seeing the consequences of an action in a safe environment, and allowing them to ‘undo’ and action and try something else.

More impressively, it can potentially help people overcome and deal with the ramifications of a traumatic event in therapy.
