If you have a California learner's permit and a licensed driver by your side can there be other passengers in the car too?

Straight from the MVD Manual of California:

== == You must practice with a parent, guardian, spouse, or an adult 25 years of age or older, who has a valid California driver license. The person must be close enough to take control of the vehicle at any time. A provisional permit does not let you drive alone-not even to a DMV office to take a driving test.

What is the Doctor-patient ratio in Australia?

The doctor-patient relationship is a compulsory subject in all the best medical schools in the world, aiming to enable the physician to have a satisfactory performance and pertinent to the sick in order to enhance the therapeutic task by way of safe, reliable and positive.

Teams should be sensitive to understand the fragility of the patient weakens and your family gets sick, and they also welcome it means an additional effort that many do not want, do not stand, or do not know how. Depending on the tags that may arise between the professional, patient and family become frequent defensive attitudes of incomprehension or misunderstanding in communication, more traumatized than help.

In the name of efficiency, sometimes, doctors and nurses put themselves in a very effective distance, appear difficult to place themselves entirely. They have excellent capacity for technical procedures, but not always for professional humane attitudes, as if the attendance of medical staff and nurses could not include tenderness and welcome to the feelings that arise in the experience of shock caused by the disease.

The subjectivity of the practitioner must be present with tenderness and welcome the desperate search for balance from the patient and his family, when they deny the disease, or seek alternative cures, instead, try to help with some hope, when the disease is felt as a death sentence that nullifies any expectation.

Upon entering the patient's room, doctors and nurses can get involved with intense emotions, and lose the capacity to host from the professional role; assume attitudes as if they were family or, conversely, nothing moves them, protect themselves in an aseptic which creates insecurity in the patient and family anger.

The doctor-patient relationship is influenced by the quality of the healthcare team and the patient is the great beneficiary because it is the "vitamins" for your healing process.

Why did the Queensland floods happen in 2010-2011?

Water supplies were affected. Many towns had their drinking water supply contaminated by flood waters. There was the very real fear of disease as water sat around for weeks while people wait for the waters to subside. People in the clean-up were contracting diseases and infections.

Huge amounts of debris and rubbish were carried down the river, and there were enormous environmental impacts on Moreton Bay, into which the Brisbane River empties. Animals and plants were badly affected.

A major positive effect from the Queensland floods was the renewal of the environment. Queensland has 2 basic flow paths - rain on the east side of the Great Dividing Range flows to the sea, while rain on the west side is gathered in a series of basins which flow into other states.

Much of Australia's former rich farming land has been devastated in recent decades by over grazing and placing unsustainable demands on inland water supplies. The flood washes silt downstream which covers floodplains and enriches salt ravaged country, the Great Artesian Basin is replenished, and the inland river systems are flushed of poisonous bacteria.

The Murray-Darling river system will receive the second flush in as many years. The Cooper Basin will be flushed all the way to Lake Eyre.

On the east side, the fresh water called "sweet water" is necessary for the ecology in mangrove areas. It promotes flora growth, and allows sea creatures to breed and thrive. Unfortunately, a regular flood event in the Fitzroy River in Queensland can take 75 days for the Keppel Bay to clean; and this long lasting flood will take much longer. But the long term effect will mean a bumper catch of prawns and reef fish in 2012.
