Costa visits a rooftop farm where deaf and hard of hearing students learn essential job skills through food cultivation.

On the rooftop of a suburban shopping centre in Burwood, east Melbourne, is a surprise feature – a highly productive community garden.

The garden is run by a group called Cultivating Community, and organiser Cerys ap Rees says they aim to include people from culturally and linguistically diverse groups.

There is an employment program run in partnership with the Victorian College for the Deaf, providing work experience opportunities for those with hearing disabilities.

XIAOTING WANG

XIAOTING WANG

12 August 2024, Monday

            Xiaoting Wang, 21, was found murdered in a Burwood, Sydney, Australian apartment that she shared with her boyfriend, 21. She had been stabbed to death. Her boyfriend’s body was found in the courtyard with injury to his ankles, possibly jumping from the balcony trying to flee the scene or to take his own life. He was naked from the waist down; they are still investigating if Wang had been sexually assaulted before or after her death.

            Wang was a university student from China. Before she was murdered, she had a conflict with her boyfriend in the early hours of that morning. She told friends that she had planned to leave her boyfriend.

            It is unknown if a third person was involved.

            There is a possibility he may have killed Wang because he wanted to control her and didn’t have any respect for her or her own choices.

**Business and Professional Women Strathfield**

**Invites You to an Equal Pay Day Dinner and Conversation**

**Time:** 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM  

**Venue:** Coro88, 88 Burwood Road, Burwood, 2134  

**Parking:** Free undercover parking available at the venue

**Women Mean Business**

Did you know that it took an extra 50 days over the past year for women to earn as much as men? Join us to hear what's the buzz!

Equal Pay Day symbolises the additional time women must work to earn what men did in the previous year. It highlights the gender pay gap—the difference between average earnings for men and women.

### Key Points About Equal Pay Day:

1. **Origins and Purpose**:

   - The concept of Equal Pay Day was introduced by the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) in 1996.

   - It aims to raise awareness about the gender wage gap and advocate for equal pay for equal work.

2. **Calculation of the Date**:

   - The date of Equal Pay Day changes each year based on the previous year's wage data.

   - It typically falls in March or April in many countries, symbolising how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned the previous year. In australia we celebrate in August.

3. **Global Recognition**:

   - Many countries observe their own Equal Pay Days, reflecting their specific gender pay gaps.

   - In Australia, Equal Pay Day is often observed in August or September, reflecting local wage statistics.

4. **The Gender Pay Gap**:

   - The gender pay gap is influenced by various factors, including occupational segregation, differences in work experience, education, and discrimination.

   - The gap can vary significantly by industry, age, ethnicity, and education level.

5. **Why It Matters**:

   - Highlighting the gender pay gap brings attention to broader issues of gender inequality in the workplace.

   - It encourages businesses, policymakers, and individuals to take action towards achieving pay equity.

6. **Activities and Events**:

   - Events like the Equal Pay Day dinner and conversation hosted by Business and Professional Women Strathfield provide platforms for discussion, networking, and advocacy.

   - These events often feature speakers, panels, and workshops focused on strategies to close the pay gap.

### Action Steps to Address the Gender Pay Gap:

1. **Policy and Legislation**:

   - Support and advocate for laws that promote pay transparency and prevent discrimination.

2. **Workplace Practices**:

   - Encourage employers to conduct regular pay audits.

   - Implement transparent salary structures and promotion practices.

   - Support flexible working arrangements and parental leave policies.

3. **Education and Awareness**:

   - Raise awareness about the gender pay gap through campaigns and educational programs.

   - Empower women with negotiation skills and career development opportunities.

By participating in Equal Pay Day events and supporting initiatives aimed at closing the gender pay gap, individuals and organisations can contribute to creating a more equitable workforce.

After a Week Away...

After more than a week away, I'm posting again. I've been busy but not with anything that warranted its own post. On top of that, a close friend is going through an extraordinary hardship at the moment so my thoughts haven't really been on this.

As to the past week, I got back from my grandparents' place last Tuesday. It was a long trip home and very exhausting. By the time I was home, I was so exhausted I felt sick. That may sound overdramatic, and maybe it is, but it's not often that I go anywhere that's more than a few hours away from home.

On Wednesday, I tried to spend as much of the day as possible cleaning. Most of that was unpacking and the resulting loads of laundry, but I was also able to do something I've been wanting to do for a while: reorganise my bookshelf. I was a voracious reader as a child up until my early years of high school. However, now that I'm converting, I'm reevaluating some of the books I have and how they align with my values. Additionally, some of the books that I have are just not very good. My ultimate goal is to only own books that I'd be happy for my own children to read one day. I also have a bunch of religious books that I haven't had space for since it's only a small shelf. I'm very happy with the set up, I had so many books that they were taking up all the space on top of the shelf, which I can now use for things that need to be on display.

On Thursday, I joined my friends on a trip over to Burwood, a suburb off Sydney. My friends had seen TikToks about there being a lot of good places to eat there and wanted to visit their K-pop store. It was a very nice shop, serving complementary tea and with a cute crafting space in the back.

Friday and Saturday were spent working a dog-sitting job. I was caring for two Dachshunds, a 13 year old boy named Jensen and a 1 year old girl named KC. I had looked after them before quite recently, they were one of two jobs I took between Christmas and New Year's. KC is as energetic and friendly as they come, while Jensen is more reserved. He didn't much like me when we first met but after I comforted him through a very scary storm during my first time looking after them, he became a lot more comfortable around me.

Finally, we come to yesterday. My fiance and I were happy to be back at one of our usual Ukrainian churches for the first time in a few weeks, this time St. Andrew's in Lidcombe for their English language liturgy. The English liturgy has its own small but solid young adult community that my fiance and I are always delighted to be with. It was a joy to catch up with everyone and talk about how we've spent this holiday period. And most exciting of all, my fiance spoke to our priest and has been told that we can start officially arranging my catechism in the next couple of weeks!

This turned out to be a lot longer than I anticipated, I guess my week was more fun than I realised. I think I'll do a separate post about today and my coming week so as not to drag this post out unnecessarily. Though I will give one final update about my past week: I've finally told one of my friends about my recent engagement. All of my friends are secular and don't believe in marrying young or quickly. I'm sure they'll support me all the same but, especially with the relationship struggles my friend is having, they'll be concerned and doubtful.

Christ is Born! Glorify Him!

シドニーナイトマーケット Sydney Night Marketをご紹介致します。
