Ross River virus (RRV) is the most common and widespread arbovirus in Australia. Epidemiological models of RRV increase understanding of RRV transmission and help provide early warning of outbreaks to reduce incidence. However, RRV predictive models have not been systematically reviewed, analysed, and compared. The hypothesis of this systematic review was that summarising the epidemiological models applied to predict RRV disease and analysing model performance could elucidate drivers of RRV incidence and transmission patterns. We performed a systematic literature search in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus for studies of RRV using population-based data, incorporating at least one epidemiological model and analysing the association between exposures and RRV disease. Forty-three articles, all of high or medium quality, were included. Twenty-two (51.2%) used generalised linear models and 11 (25.6%) used time-series models. Climate and weather data were used in 27 (62.8%) and mosquito abundance or related data were used in 14 (32.6%) articles as model covariates. A total of 140 models were included across the articles. Rainfall (69 models, 49.3%), temperature (66, 47.1%) and tide height (45, 32.1%) were the three most commonly used exposures. Ten (23.3%) studies published data related to model performance. This review summarises current knowledge of RRV modelling and reveals a research gap in comparing predictive methods. To improve predictive accuracy, new methods for forecasting, such as non-linear mixed models and machine learning approaches, warrant investigation.

Adding Alternatives? Be Afraid of Spreadsheets
2019
By 2025, alternative assets could represent some 15% of global assets under management, estimates PwC—double their share in 2017.1 For recordkeepers, the growth of alternatives brings some thorny challenges. Most of us are familiar with some horror stories about spreadsheets, in our own experiences and even in the media, where spreadsheet errors have factored into incidents of trading losses and restatements of financial results. More than ever, recordkeepers need flexible partners who can accommodate a wide range of investment products on a single platform. 1 “Global Assets under Management set to rise to $145.4 trillion by 2025.”

2016
Doctors in Australia advised couple Liam Glass, from Co Down, and wife Cindy three times to terminate the pregnancy. At one appointment a medic said \"it had gone beyond faith\" but the devout couple refused and \"left it in God's hand\". \"A guy called Costa did the scan, I remember it so clearly as he went over each of [David Hope Glass]'s organs and called out each one -- then he said, 'And here's the spleen'. \"We firmly believe that it was God at work.\" The couple now visit doctors every two weeks for David's check-ups and are preparing for the first in a series of operations in Melbourne, to help David's heart function better.
