Extractions: Miscellaneous publication 27/2001 September 2001 Stress management Health and counselling services In bad seasons farm families can be overwhelmed with concerns over poor weather conditions which put additional pressure on finances and future incomes. This also affects rural communities and small businesses. Stress is a normal part of life and all situations, both positive and negative. Situations that require adjustment are stressful. 'Stress' is what goes on inside us when we react to frustration, conflict and pressure. We each respond differently to stress, depending on our perceptions. Stress generally affects everyone in five basic ways: physiologically (i.e. headaches and frequent illness, backache); emotionally (i.e. anger, anxiety); behaviourally (i.e. irritability, drinking too much alcohol); cognitively (i.e. inability to make decisions, memory loss); self-concept (i.e. "I'm a failure"). Successful management of stress comes from practice and looking at how you perceive the events causing the stress. Here are some suggestions for coping with stress:

Extractions: VII Recommendations Acknowledgements - In addition to the above organizations, there are also a number of individuals who have been instrumental in helping to create a higher awareness of the impact and consequences of farm stress. These include Marilyn Affleck I Introduction Over the past decade or more, the farming community across the country have been encountering and experiencing an increasingly higher level of uncertainty and disruption on a number of fronts. Some of the more prominent issues that have been challenging farmers include things like the isolation, many farmers continue to work alone, the ongoing loss of rural communities and rural services, the ongoing departure of young people from the industry, and uncertainty and predictability of the market place, the ambivalence and ambiguity of government policies, and the various levels of financial pressures/crises. In short, farm families are working in a social and economic environment that is more challenging than ever before, and this environment can have, and is having, a telling impact of the quality of life for many farm families. In a direct sense, these social and economic pressures can result in individual farm families experiencing a broad range of physical and emotional symptoms including such things as headaches, heart and digestive problems, relationship problems, inter-generational conflicts, substance abuse, increased tensions and violence in the home, and even suicide.
Rural Women & ICTs: Women's Involvement life would not be the same without it. Web, a Newsletter printed by the rural Women sNetwork; Assistant Coordinator Sonia Muir, muirso@agric.nsw.gov.au http://www.bus.qut.edu.au/rwp/Women.htm
Extractions: Rural Women Involved in Communication Technology Research A wide range of women are participating in this innovative project, including farmers, community workers, nurses, librarians, teachers, small business operators and retirees. Our aim is to involve a diversity of women living in rural and remote locations, including Aboriginal women, migrant women, women on farms and women living in rural towns and mining communities. These women are taking part in a number of project activities, including workshops, interviews, electronic discussion groups and audio teleconferences. Participants are raising issues about communication related to family, business and community activities, discussing future opportunities and problems with new ICTs, and learning more about new ICTs and the implications of telecommunications policy changes. My name is Kathryn Anderson , and I am a Senior Policy Officer within The Office of Rural Communities (ORC) in the Queensland Department of Local Government and Planning. ORC has been an Industry Partner in the research project since 1996. The Office has an obvious interest in the project, as we recognise that rural women are a force to be reckoned with, and that information technology and telecommunications hold one of the keys to a future for rural communities. My involvement in the project has been as a member of the Steering Committee providing input and feedback to the research team at QUT, and promoting the project to the rural women I meet in the course of my work as Senior Policy Officer within ORC. My link with this project is my role as the officer dealing with rural access to information technology and telecommunications issues in ORC.
Extractions: (Cut flowers) by Margaret Sedgley Banksias are identified internationally as Australian, and this is an important selling point which can be exploited on overseas markets. In addition to their visual attributes, they have other features which will ensure their continued popularity, including long shelf life and variety of colour and form. The main constraint to industry development is the lack of cohesion in the cut flower industry, and the reluctance to communicate and co-operate. Commercial species of banksias are native to mediterranean climate areas, and thrive in light sandy soils of acid pH. This is probably the greatest current production constraint. Banksias are widely cultivated for cut-flower production in southern Australia, with some production in Israel, South Africa, Hawaii and California. Export of fresh cut flowers is the area with most potential for expansion. The current annual export value of banksias is approximately A$1 million, with half of the production from Western Australia. The largest export destination for fresh flowers is Japan. Germany takes fresh and dried product.
