, which presents in infancy and is characterised by poor muscle tone, an enlarged liver and spleen, seizures, developmental regression and loss of vision and hearing with no available treatment.
The last reported case in Australia occurred more than 10 years ago, so very little is known about the condition apart from its bleak prognosis.

Previous articleTime for the ABC to explainIt’s tempting to want to take advantage of all revenue streams when in business. That is why many businesses charge customers for access to their WIFI. But, is this advisable? The current business climate points to revenue loss instead of capture when charging for WIFI. How?
Unlike flying in an airplane, most businesses don’t have their customers confined to their area for a set amount of time. This means that visitors are unlikely to be inclined to pay for a service so ubiquitous and will likely be repelled by businesses that charge for access. We, at Eidi Properties, encourage our tenants to see the big picture.
First of all, most people currently have data plans on their phones and would not be reliant on local WIFI. However, many of those data plans are limited and by providing free WIFI, customers appreciate the service, creating a positive feeling about your business.
Second, the WIFI can compel customers to stay longer. Studies universally show that customers who stay longer spend more. Longer stays can easily compensate for the lost revenue of a few who would actually pay for access to the internet.
Third, customers will likely choose your business over a competitor who doesn’t provide free WIFI. This is due to the fact that people use the internet when shopping to research purchases, compare prices, specs, and download coupons. This also makes the business’ site more attractive due to shoppers looking for promotions and specials.
Fourth, stores can use the data gathered by shoppers on their WIFI networks to better target their sales. Customers browse for deals and to compare. Their online habits can be better understood through observing their queries. If a customer in your store Googles an item, but leaves without buying it (statistically speaking) then, perhaps, the store has it priced too high. Knowing this can help a store find equilibrium pricing and best move merchandise.
Ultimately, a store should not look at providing WIFI service like a product but a service. This service can attract customers and promote purchases. In today’s world, stores that charge for WIFI are likely costing themselves more opportunity than they are gaining revenue. We encourage businesses to see the big picture to attract and keep more customers.Why should I identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander to my doctor?
It is important to tell your GP if you are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander so that they can make sure you get access to healthcare you might need.
There are specific services available for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that your GP or other healthcare provider can refer you to for further support.
If you end up in hospital, whether in an emergency or as an inpatient, let your carers know that you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. You also have access to an Aboriginal Liaison Officer (ALO) during your hospital stay.Editor’s Note: Graduate Students United will be hand delivering this letter to the administration office Nov. 18.
As graduate employees of the University of Chicago, we write to you in regard to the consistent and widespread delays in pay that have affected us and our colleagues. Even prior to this year, Graduate Students United (GSU) was aware that delays in payment have been a longstanding concern for our membership. However, due to the recent implementation of revisions to the payment system and timelines, and as a result of cuts to administrative staff, many graduate employees at the University find themselves in a precarious situation that is unprecedented in scale.
This recent change in payment structure affects us alongside other measures taken (and not taken) by the University administration. This summer, graduate employees were affected by an increase in rent prices on the part of the administration because of the selling-off of University property, which forced many of us to move, incurring further expenses. Last year’s cap on working hours for graduate employees in a number of divisions lowered our standard of living, also affecting our ability to pursue academic work.
Our members were informed of changes to their payment structure on June 1 and were told these changes would take effect on September 25. Even so, many of us had our first payments arbitrarily delayed until late October without announcement, meaning that previously budgeted-for expenses were left uncovered by our relatively smaller summer stipends. Unable to receive effective communications from administrators and departmental finance officers as to when and how we could expect to be paid, many of us paid rent under strain and continue to have our Student Life Fees outstanding, as well as the late fees that have accrued due to the fact we missed the standard deadlines.
Graduate Students United hereby demands an explanation as to why graduate employees of the University suffer regularly from delayed payments even though comparably complicated payroll systems in comparable institutions do not suffer from similar problems, and the faculty and administration of this institution seem to have not been affected. We ask that the University administration recognize its negligence and errors, and that it intervene immediately in order to make the employees affected whole. Graduate Students United asks that the employer:
- Pay employees who have not been paid what they are due, carefully considering differences in taxes, deductions, etc., so as to not cause further mistakes and delays.
- Waive late payment fees for the Student Life Fee.
- Immediately make accessible a 0 percent interest emergency loan to employees affected that is commensurate to the outstanding payments, if for any reason the above requests cannot be fulfilled promptly.
- Commit to providing a transparent explanation of how payment is handled, and to designing a clearer and more efficient procedure for reporting errors, communicating to affected employees, and resolving issues, be they systematic or occasional.
- Make an official apology to its employees.
- Abandon “Shared Services” and plans for staff layoffs and review other administrative decisions that have caused the problems in payment and communication outlined above.
Further, if the University administration foresees that the issue of late payment will continue into winter quarter, we request that the quarter’s Student Life Fee be waived and the aforementioned remedies be made available to all affected employees, and that an announcement to that effect be circulated immediately.
—Daniela Licandro, Claudio Sansone, and Agatha Slupek are all graduate employees of the University of Chicago. The letter has been endorsed by Graduate Students United

The print edition of this article incorrectly states that Graduate Students United planned to deliver this letter November 17. They will deliver it November 18.When the iPhone 3g came out I made a killing buying used iphones off craigslist, jailbreaking and unlocking them, and selling them on craigslist. Like over $50 a phone after eBay fee's. It was a nice high school job for a while :)

Edit: worth noting though that my experience with PayPal holding my funds for a few weeks to investigate me has turned me off from ever using PayPal or eBay again though... My brother had a similar scheme but with new iPhones when they first came out for like $800, he was buying 15-20 a day on credit cards. EBay held his money that he needed to pay the credit cards... Pythagoras is a name familiar to most students of mathematics. His Pythagorean Theorem is learned early in the study of Algebra and Geometry and is said to be one of the “cornerstones” for all of math. However, very little is known about this man. What is known comes mostly from his students and followers. In fact, it seems that he was much more than a teacher of mathematics. His contributions reach beyond, influencing philosophers for centuries to follow. Pythagoras was born in Samos, Greece. His father was a merchant by the name of Mnesarchus and his mother’s name was Pythais. He had two brothers, although some sources say that he had three. He had a school in Samos called the Semicircle, but his teaching was not popular. The government officials did not like him, and he eventually left. At age forty, Pythagoras moved to the city of Croton in southern Italy. At the Italian School of Philosophy, he had a group of friends or followers. Most of his work was done in Croton. Unfortunately, Pythagoras wrote nothing (or at least there are no surviving documents from his time). His students and the societies in which he taught kept strict codes of secrecy. Today, Pythagoras is most remembered in terms of science and math. In his day, however, his philosophy was most important to his followers and students, not necessarily math. It is said that he was an expert on the fate of the soul after death, an authority in religious rituals, and a “wonder-worker who had a thigh of gold and who could be two places at the same time,” (Huffman, 1). He lived a strict lifestyle, including diet, religion, and self discipline. Pythagoras is given credit for a very detailed view of the universe. Huffman spends more time presenting this role of cosmologist than his role as mathematician. For example, the soul is immortal. In fact, the soul and body are completely separate. The soul may move to a new body should the first one die. This belief is that of reincarnation. Pythagorus believed that the soul can leave one body and enter another, including animals. One of his claims is that he remembered who he
