May this RC cause some major changes in the ratio of qualified staff including registered nurses to residents, quality of care including meals and activities, and mandatory reporting that's actioned properly.

Do we really need to take 10,000 steps a day?We often hear 10,000 as the golden number of steps to strive for in a day. But do we really need to take 10,000 steps a day? AllanFSP25 Alwyn, I am an older person. I try to make up with right arm movements. I especially refuse to take part in marketing campaigns. Don't believe the hype. Step counters are a joke. Just go for a walk. Enjoy your walk and the steps and health follows. I aim for distance walked per day. Although in my current state that will be minimal for the next several weeks.

Queensland graziers take clean up a day at a timeRachael Anderson's immediate concern after floods killed half of her herd is not the 2000 or so carcasses now rotting in swampy paddocks. It is the banks. They will understand. AnimalsAus and peta are missing in action. It's almost like they are full of sh!t. The Banks should suspend all payments due for 12 months, with no interest. Show some compassion and common sense for the victims ( farmers and shop keepers etc) of the Queensland floods.
