Oil and gas industry efforts to promote collaboration in the wake of a major slump in fortunes have taken a big leap forward, with the launch of a new "toolkit" to encourage co-operation across the sector.
It is designed to be used at all levels of the supply chain from regulators and operators through to contractors and suppliers and is intended to build on existing areas of common practice to become even stronger over time.
Andy Brown, operations director at engineering construction industry skills body ECITB, said the 70-page blueprint for successful collaboration could also be rolled out to other sectors.
He added: "It's a go-to guide that will enable and support project teams by helping them see the value of working together.
Mr Brown said the document – available for free through the ECITB, either in ready-printed form or as a download – complemented upcoming masterclasses highlighting ways to challenge "behavioural issues" which had thwarted co-operation in the past.
"It's a fantastic piece of work but it will only be successful if people use it," he added.
It was developed by ECITB in partnership with the Offshore Project Management Steering Group (OPMSG), which was set-up in January 2014 as operators and contractors sought shared solutions to challenges facing them in a severe industry downturn.
More than 50 companies across the sector were invited to help produce the toolkit, which has already been endorsed by industry bodies Oil and Gas UK and the Offshore Contractors' Association.
Jim Lenton, interim president at engineering and project management giant Amec Foster Wheeler, also OPMSG leader, said it was "day zero" for the document.

#1 With the game tied at 28 Antworten
INDIANAPOLIS -- Atlantas Mike Scott hit Indiana with the first 3-point barrage Monday night. Cheap Vapormax Plus Pink . The Hawks defence staggered the Pacers with some late stops. Now Atlanta is heading home with a chance to deliver the knockout punch to the Eastern Conferences top seed. Scott scored all 17 of his points during the Hawks incredible second-quarter run, and the defence fended off the Pacers frantic fourth-quarter charge to hold on for a 107-97 victory and a stunning 3-2 lead in the first-round series. "We can play with this team," Scott said. "Theyre a great team, especially at home, great players, great coach, but we have a belief in ourselves as well." Why not? All the Hawks have to do is protect their home court and they will reach the second round for the first time since 2011, and throw the East into disarray after the talk all season was about an Indiana-Miami rematch in the conference finals. That looks like a long shot now. The Pacers havent won consecutive games with their regular starters in the lineup since mid-March and the leagues best regular-season home team (35-6) has inexplicably given away home court advantage to the Hawks -- twice. Theyre making it look easy, too. Atlanta shredded one of the leagues top defences during a remarkable second quarter, making 13 of 16 shots overall and 9 of 11 from beyond the arc. Scott made all five of his 3s during the decisive 30-6 run, which actually started with the final basket of the first quarter, to turn a 21-18 deficit into a 48-27 lead. Indiana never recovered. Atlanta outscored the Pacers 41-19 during that 12-minute stretch, matching the second-highest second-quarter scoring total in the franchises post-season history. The Hawks scored 41 against Detroit on March 17, 1986, and the St. Louis Hawks had 45 against Fort Wayne on March 14, 1957. Indiana, meanwhile, allowed a second-quarter franchise record, breaking the previous mark of 39 points set by Boston on April 23, 2005. The Hawks joined the 1970 Milwaukee Bucks as the only road teams in the shot-clock era to score at least 40 points in a quarter and give up fewer than 19. Not enough? Atlanta tied an NBA record with 9 3-pointers, most recently done in 2008, and also broke the franchise playoff record for 3s in a game with 15. The previous mark was 12. "I didnt even know," Kyle Korver said after making two 3s in the second quarter and another late in the game to keep the Hawks in control. "Mike got hot. I dont know how many 3s he hit in that quarter. Mike hadnt shot the ball as well as he did tonight, but he hasnt shot that well all series." Shelvin Mack led the Hawks with 20 points, while Paul Millsap had 18. The Pacers, meanwhile, endured yet another bleak chapter in a second-half collapse that could go down as the worst in NBA history -- if they lose either of the next two games. And it was downright dismal. Roy Hibbert finished without a point or a rebound for the first time in his playoff career. Indiana was outrebounded for the first time in the series and its rebuilt bench was outscored 45-23. Paul George led the Pacers with 26 points and 12 rebounds. George Hill, Lance Stephenson and David West all had 16 points, not quite enough to rally on a night they were again serenaded with boos in the first half. "It was frustrating because we didnt make a change," George said of the Pacers defence. "We let them run the same action, the same shot. We didnt do nothing. So that was frustrating." The game changed in a hurry. Atlanta opened the second quarter with a free throw from Mack to tie the score at 21. Scott then made four consecutive 3s to push the lead to 33-21. Mack followed that with a midrange jumper, Korver made a 3, Scott scored on a putback and Korver hit his second 3. Mack followed that with two free throws and Scott closed the run with his last 3 of the game to make it 48-27. The Pacers still trailed 61-40 at halftime and by as many as 30 points in the third quarter before the frantic comeback. Indiana cut the deficit to 85-67 late in the third and with the crowd urging them on, the Pacers made it 96-87 on C.J. Watsons layup with 4:04 to go. But Korver answered with a 3 and the Hawks closed it out at the free throw line. "We dont do much for moral victories, we just dropped the ball," West said. "Everybodys got to be ready to play and I didnt think we responded well enough." Notes: The Pacers had a moment of silence to honour former coach Jack Ramsay, who died Monday at age 89. Ramsay led the Pacers to the first NBA playoff win in franchise history. ... Atlanta has three wins at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and is the only team to beat Indiana on its home court more than once this season. ... The Pacers are 0-10 in series when trailing 3-2. Cheap Vapormax Plus Gold . The redshirt freshman finished the regular season with nearly 3,500 passing yards, and 35 touchdowns with another three on the ground while leading the Seminoles to the top of the BCS Rankings. Cheap Vapormax Plus All Red . -- Isaiah Pead took a stutter step forward, then raced to the left sideline and travelled 60 yards up the field before finally getting tripped up by a leg tackle. http://www.cheapvapormaxplus.us/cheap-vapormax-plus-all-black/ .ca NHL Power Rankings, finally overtaking the St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks, who rank second and third this week.SAN DIEGO -- San Diego State coach Steve Fisher thought about giving Winston Shepard a breather just past the midway mark of the second half in a close game against Air Force. It turns out the last thing the sophomore forward needed was a spot on the bench. Shepard scored 14 of his 16 points in the final 7 minutes, 14 seconds and the No. 5 Aztecs bounced back from their first loss since mid-November to beat Air Force 64-56 on Saturday night. Shepard started his hot streak by keying a 9-0 run with a 3-pointer, a slam dunk following a steal by Xavier Thames and two free throws. After the Falcons closed to 54-50 with 2:28 to go, Shepard converted a three-point play and hit two more free throws to give SDSU some breathing room. "I was having a tough night up to that point," Shepard said. "Honestly, I have to thank my teammates, X Thames, coach Fish; they stuck with me and had encouraging words for me. I just wanted to go out there and continue to help my team." Shepard made seven of nine free throws. "With the style of basketball I play, being able to handle the ball, I find myself in the paint a lot," he said. "I was taught a rule when I was young, when you get to the paint, at worst, you have to get to the free throw line. Not only that, a lot of the time tonight I wasnt handling the ball. My teammates were finding me under the basket. I have to credit my teammates with that and once again Id like to thank them for sticking with me and finding me in spots." Said Fisher: "I thought it was time for him to get a break and he made a 3 and then made a rebound or steal and we rode with him for a while and he performed. He did a nice job. "Winston is a very, very smart basketball player," Fisher added, noting that hes getting better at passing and shooting free throws. "He knows how to and has the ability to get to the rim. Hes a good player. Hes a hard guard. He played the next play. Sometimes all of us, Winston in particular, if youre not careful yoou worry about what just happened and all of sudden something negative happens on the next trip. Cheap Vapormax Plus Purple. Hes much, much better on that front, and thats allowed him to grow." Thames and Dwayne Polee II each scored 13 points for SDSU (22-2, 11-1 Mountain West), which had its 20-game winning streak snapped Tuesday night at Wyoming. It was SDSUs first loss since a 69-60 home defeat to Arizona on Nov. 14. Josh Davis had 10 rebounds. Max Yon scored 20 and Kamryn Williams 12 for Air Force (10-14, 4-9). The Falcons leading scorer, Tre Coggins, was held to nine points, nearly seven below his average. "They were really on him," coach Dave Pilipovich said of the Aztecs play on Coggins. "They were there on the catch and they are so long with their extra length and size that he couldnt create a little space to create an advantage there." Coggins had 29 points in a 79-72 home loss to the Aztecs on Jan. 13. "Trey had an off night, so somebody had to step up," Yon said. "So Kam Williams and I took over the scoring a little bit, but it just wasnt our night. "I think we handled their pressure better this time around, but they are long. We did a good job rebounding. But being in this environment, with them at home, is an advantage for them. But we are right there and can play with anybody with the way we battled." With the game tied at 28 four minutes into the second half, Thames made consecutive 3-pointers and Polee had a tip-in and then a slam dunk on an alley-oop pass from Shepard to give the Aztecs a 38-28 lead. Air Force closed to 44-40 on Yons three-point play and a reverse layup by DeLovell Earls sandwiched around a 3-pointer by SDSUs Aqeel Quinn. Shepard then came on strong for SDSU during a 9-0 run that gave the Aztecs a 53-40 lead with 5:20 left. Shepard had a 3-pointer, a slam dunk after a steal and pass by Thames and two free throws. JJ OBrien had a bank shot. San Diego State led 24-23 at halftime after scoring 12 of the final 18 points.

Climate talks close with Trump administration on one track, world on another
California Governor Jerry Brown delivers opening remarks a panel discussion at the WWF pavillion during the UN Climate Change Conference COP23 in Bonn, Germany, on Nov. 14, 2017.Philipp Guelland / EPA

By James Rainey
The world climate conference ended Friday much the way it began two weeks ago — with the Trump administration bolstering legacy fuels like coal and gas, separating itself from much of the world.
The lone panel sponsored by the U.S. government was interrupted by singing and chanting protesters, who said support for coal power went against the thrust of talks centered on promoting renewable energy and 21st century technology.
The result was a fundamental disconnect at the gathering in Bonn, Germany.
"California is not waiting for Trump," Gov. Jerry Brown told some of the 20,000 attendees. "We are not waiting for all the deniers, we are committing ourselves to do everything possible to get on the side of nature instead of fighting it, to deal with the climate change challenge in a real way."
Gov. Jerry Brown: 'California is not waiting for Trump'
Nov. 16, 201700:55
Jake Schmidt, director of the international program for the Natural Resources Defense Council, assessed the panel's reception. "One of the positive things here is that the Trump administration has mostly been ignored," he said.

Much of the world community — from Pope Francis, to French President Emmanuel Macron, to a giant Norwegian investment fund — made it clear they agreed with the American dissenters.
The annual conference had been expected to highlight deep divisions not only between the United States and foreign nations, but also between U.S. federal and local governments. Despite the Trump administration's vows to bring back coal jobs, some American states and communities are moving forward aggressively to get more of their electricity from wind and solar installations. They made multiple presentations at the world conclave.

President Donald Trump said in June that the U.S. would exit as a participant in the Paris climate accord, putting the world's second-biggest carbon producer at odds with governments around the world.
In the Paris deal, nations agreed that they would change policies and practices to try to limit the increase in Earth temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit). An array of measures are needed to meet that goal, such as slowing rapid deforestation and slashing the use of coal and gas, both to make electricity and to power cars and trucks.

The U.S. was represented by career State Department diplomats and only made one presentation headed by a Trump representative — leading a panel of representatives from the coal, nuclear and natural gas industries.
"Without question, fossil fuels will continue to be used, and we would argue that it's in the global interest to make sure when fossil fuels are used that they be as clean and efficient as possible," Trump representative David Banks told the gathering. "This panel is controversial only if we chose to bury our heads in the sand."
That panel was interrupted for about 10 minutes by protesters, who accused the U.S. president of neglecting the world's most existential threat. When the demonstrators left, the meeting hall was left with many empty seats.
The U.S. wrapped up its official role in the sessions Thursday, with a presentation by veteran State Department official Judith Garber. She said America would continue to rely on a variety of fuels to provide "energy security [and] promotion of economic growth."
Coal backers claim it is more dependable than wind, solar and cleaner energy sources — a position that environmentalists reject.

Garber told the gathering that, despite the plan to exit the Paris accord, "We remain open to the possibility of rejoining at a later date under terms more favorable to the American people." She added that the U.S. "will continue to be a leader in clean energy and innovation, and we understand the need for transforming energy systems."
The pope was one of several leaders signaling they wanted a more aggressive approach. Francis' statement called global warming "one of the most worrisome phenomena that humanity is facing."
While Trump has previously threatened to withdraw funding for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, French President Macron told the Bonn gathering he will make sure the the group "won't lack a single euro" for its climate work.
Another signal of the anti-carbon momentum came when Britain and Canada announced a new alliance intended to phase out coal. Participants in the Global Alliance to Power Past Coal ranged from Finland and Mexico to New Zealand and several U.S. states.
The Norwegian firm signalling its support of clean energy, Storebrand, said it was divesting carbon-centric energy companies from its $80 billion portfolio.
The mixed message out of Bonn should not be a surprise, said Scott Barrett, a Columbia University professor of natural resource economics who has studied international agreements for 30 years.
"It really is amazing the world at least stands united," Barrett said. "But the successes they are talking about have to be put in the context of what really matters, which is the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. And that has gone up every year since it was first measured in 1957."

Denzel Perryman Relishing Change in Third Season
It's safe to say 2017 has been Denzel Perryman's biggest year for change since he came into the league. In a span of mere months, his team has a new city, head coach and defensive coordinator. He also faces a brand new scheme on defense.
But through all the changes, Perryman remains positive. He's more excited than ever to make his mark on the Bolts' defense.
"I love the defense," he said. "It's a lot simpler for us. Not saying last year wasn't simple, but this year is a lot more simple. It's a new defense and everybody is learning it. It's not one of those things where you come in and think this guy's been in the system for this long and that guy's been in the system for that long. We're all just learning together. When one person makes a mistake, we correct it and roll from there."
Along with scheme, Perryman is also a big fan of what new Defensive Coordinator Gus Bradley brings to the unit as a teacher and mentor. Many Bolts have noted how Bradley is one of the best storytellers he's ever been around, and that's true for the linebacker as well. Those stories, as abstruse as they may be, carry meanings that transfer to the game.
"Coach Bradley's been phenomenal. All his stories have a motivating meaning to them. Honestly, I go in every day looking for a story. He'll put up a picture of a random person and we'll think it's just some random person, but there's a meaning. Everything relates to football."
In addition, the linebacker said having a coach like Bradley get on the players' level is truly motivating. Bradley's energy is infectious and translates from the meeting room to the field, and everywhere in between.
"You want to be motivated. You want a coach who motivates you. Every day, he's motivating. You'll be walking down the hallway and he'll just yell your name. You'll turn around like, 'What the hell?!' But his energy; everything, it gets you going."
While he's excited for the on-field changes, off of it, Perryman is taking more of a leadership role in the linebacker corps. Being one of the more seasoned linebackers in the unit, he's not afraid to speak up when guidance is needed.
"I can say I feel like I have a leadership role. Sometimes I'll break the defense down and say a couple things. Even though I am a young guy, I feel like I kind of established that role a little bit. But, I feel like I'm still earning my stripes. I'm going to keep building the chemistry with the guys."
Building chemistry also means making the newest members of the Chargers feel welcome. After all, it was the example that was set when he entered the league.
"When (the rookies) first got in here, I introduced myself to them and said if they had any questions to not be afraid to ask. That's what Manti (Te'o) did for me and Corey Liuget did the same. We're all trying to be better. That's what I'm trying to do. I'm going to share my knowledge with somebody to help them get better."

"Pharaoh Notes the Importance of the Jewish People" by James Tissot, 1900
Finding the balance between righteousness and self-righteousness
By Rabbi Amy Eilberg | January 17, 2020
The Torah column is supported by a generous donation from Eve Gordon-Ramek.
Exodus 1:1-6:1
I have long been fascinated by the story of the biblical midwives Shifrah and Pu'ah, since my college rabbi at Brandeis University, Al Axelrad, announced an annual Shifrah and Pu'ah Award. Each year, on the Shabbat of Parashat Shemot, Rabbi Al announced the contemporary recipient of the award: someone who had acted with moral courage despite potential danger to his or her life or reputation. Some of the honorees were international human rights heroes. Others were ordinary people who had acted with courage, despite risks to their personal safety and comfort.
In the first chapter of Exodus, a new Egyptian king arose who oppressed the Israelites, regarding them as a threatening "other." Pharaoh ordered the "Hebrew midwives": "When you deliver the Hebrew women, look at the birthstool: if it is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live. But the midwives, fearing God, did not do as the king of Egypt had told them; they let the baby boys live" (Exodus 1:16-17).
Who were these midwives, and what do they have to teach us today about moral courage?
The term "Hebrew midwives," used to describe them, is ambiguous. Some commentators, following the Talmud in Sotah 11b, believe that the midwives were Israelite women. I think that the context confirms the view of other commentators who believe that these were Egyptian midwives who helped Israelite women give birth. They were Pharaoh's own subjects, whom he expected to obey his command without question. According to this explanation, these Egyptian women reached across national and religious divides, feeling human and moral solidarity with their sisters, the Israelite women, in a bond stronger than their allegiance to their own king. In this sense, they were very much like Pharaoh's own daughter, who defied her father's order and rescued the baby Moses from the Nile out of basic human compassion.
Thus in a number of ways, Shifrah and Pu'ah serve as exemplars of what the Mussar masters call "ometz lev," a fascinating phrase literally meaning "heart strength." How are we to understand this quality?
One classic text appears in Pirkei Avot: "Yehudah ben Teimah says: 'Be strong like the leopard, light like the eagle, swift like the deer, and mighty like the lion to do the will of God who is in Heaven.'"
Rabbi Yehudah ben Teimah employs images for boldness, eagerness and power from the animal world. But as human beings, we are urged to reach for these qualities only in the service of God's will, only when we act for the greater good. Later in the passage, Yehudah ben Teimah warns that moral courage is a complex and sometimes dangerous quality, which can easily drift into self-righteousness.
In our own lives, when we sense power and urgency arising in our hearts, how are we to know whether we are acting "for God's will" like the biblical Shifrah and Pu'ah, or whether we are motivated by desire for fame, admiration or personal gratification? Is the surge of strength welling up in us truly righteous anger, for the sake of heaven or the world's needs, or is it coming from the powerful force of our own ego desires? How do we discern when to trust the rush of activist energy and when to pause and interrogate it?
The term ometz lev contains the key to such balance. Ometz lev is a quality of strength, power, willingness to speak truth to power and to defy communal expectations when the well-being of others is at stake. But ometz lev is also a quality of the heart: strength tempered by love, gentleness and desire for the well-being of all.
We can easily err by leaning toward one extreme or the other. On the one hand, timidity in the face of moral challenge means that we miss opportunities to partner with God in the work of perfecting the world. To be controlled by fear of disapproval is to enable those who pursue injustice. Becoming lost in fearfulness, uncertainty or confusion makes us complicit in the evils perpetrated all around us.
On the other hand, the call for justice may generate a rush of angry energy inside us, disconnected from the people on whose behalf we wish to act. When we are driven by impulsive boldness unsoftened by the energies of the heart, we may really be crusading for our own glory rather than for the greater good. Such boldness is propelled by our own needs, not born of devotion to God's desires for the world.
Discerning the path of ometz lev, courage born of love and devotion, is a delicate dance for us, especially in times when moral challenges surround us. In the coming year, may we be guided to embrace moral courage as we partner to create a more just and loving world.

Mansfield, Lois (2018) Managing the uplands: the need for a fresh approach. The Ecologist, 2018 .
A ten-week government consultation which explores how England will move away from European Agricultural policy post Brexit has recently ended. The consultation has been far reaching both in terms of content and engagement, recognising a once in a lifetime opportunity to shape the English countryside for the benefit of all. Among the topics discussed has been the use of public money for public goods - and this is particularly relevant for uplands, where farm businesses often operate on extremely small profit margins. It is not un-typical for a farm to generate a profit margin of £5000 a year - that's 'take home' pay to you and I.
Dr Lois Mansfield is a principal lecturer at the Department of Science, Natural Resources & Outdoor Studies at the University of Cumbria. She's also a research lead for the Ecosystem Services strand for Centre for national Parks & Protected Areas.

Each year over 80,000 new permanent residents (PRs) arrive in Ontario, Canada and are required to wait for three months before they are eligible to receive publicly funded health care through the Ontario Health Insurance Program (OHIP). While a number of researchers have investigated the health care experiences of new PRs during this wait period, a comprehensive scoping review of peer-reviewed literature has not been conducted.
This is part one of a three part series about the relationship between the three-month wait period and the health of new PRs, which includes 1) a synthesis of peer-reviewed literature, 2) a synthesis of grey literature, and 3) a theoretical framework.

12 Step Recovery Slogans – Easy Does It — Powerfully Recovered!
You see the slogan, 'Easy Does It' on the wall of almost every 12 Step meeting, no matter what addiction or behavior that meeting addresses.
Like so many things in the history of 12 Step Program, the exact history of the slogans is a bit murky. Affording to the Alcoholics Anonymous website, when Ruth Hock, a non-alcoholic, who was AA's first secretary was asked this question, she remembered hearing Bill W. and others use it right from the beginning.
However it came about, Easy does it is usually good advice. It's so easy to get totally caught up in our stinking thinking and with what we think is going on around us. Particularly in the beginning of our recovery, we tend to be intense and to see people, places, and things in a black and white manner.
Remembering to take a breath or two, remembering easy does it helps us put things in proper perspective.
There is, however, another side to the slogan.
Some people take it to mean they can just sit back and if they go to enough meetings sobriety and maybe even serenity will eventually just wash over them. Viewed this way, the slogan can get folks in trouble.
The first time I heard someone add but do it it rang true for me. Like so many, I not only tend to get intense, I can also procrastinate like a champ.
There's a ton of work we need to do when we first get to the Program. Some of it is fairly easy, like helping set up or take down a meeting room as we begin to learn to be of service. But the Steps, while simple, are far from easy. There's work to be done in each one.
Exactly what that work will look like depends on lots of things. Step 4, for example, is the only one that requires writing, and even then, people who can't write have found ways to do a successful fourth.
If, however, we want the promises of the Program, the only way to get there is to work the Program and that means working the Steps, all 12 of them. It's only through the Steps that we will be given the freedom that let us return fully to life.
I remember very early in my sobriety, maybe even in the first 30 days or so, at the suggestion of my sponsor I started my 4th Step. I went to the grocery store and was delighted to meet a woman I knew from meetings had been sober a number of years. She asked me how I was doing and I muttered something about working on my inventory. She was horrified and suggested that it was far too early for me to begin it.
I called my sponsor when I got home and related my encounter, hoping he would agree it was too soon for me to do a fourth step. He snorted and pointed out that a careful reading of Dr. Bob's story seems to indicate he did all six steps (which were split into 12 some time later, and contained all the elements we know today) in what must have been a very long, single afternoon and evening.
That doesn't mean everyone should do their inventory as soon as I did, but as I look back I realize had I postponed it until I started feeling better I might not have done it at all.
Like so many things in Program we're looking for balance, which is somewhere between easy does it and but do it.
What's your take on this slogan? Are there times when it's helped? Other times when it's gotten in the way? It's your turn, in comments.
If you've found this post interesting or even helpful, share it with your network – it helps. Thanks.
On page 135 in the Basic Text of AA ( Big Book) the explanation is very clear. Easy Does It refers to the Wive's of early AA's in particular Earl Treat. The read talks of 3 little mottoes. First Things First – Live and Let Live & Easy Does It.
Earls wife was nagging him about other issues like drinking coffee and smoking. It became so relentless that Earl;s ego got the better of him and he basically stopped the practice of Step !0 and he relapsed. The First Things First was about Earl's Recovery. The Live and Let Live were acceptance of Earl's 'lesser" habits. ( I know smoking is seen in a different light today, but we are talking over 70 years ago here). Finally the Easy Does It was in direct reference of his wife's expectations that once he stopped drinking all his other ' defects' would be cured. Earl in fact never messed around with the Steps and formally went through then in a few hours with Dr Bob as told in his story He Sold Himself Short. Third Ed page 292. Earl describes his relapse as not continuing to do Inventory as with the problems he was having at home. After his brief relapse Earl started AA in Chicago and later was a catalyst in Bill putting together the 12 Traditions. Easy Does It is not a reference to taking your time with the steps as many in contemporary AA believe.
Trevor, thanks for this. I read that years ago and it had slipped my mind entirely. Glad to have the specific references.


Cancellation of Removal for Certain Legal Permanent Residents: This form of relief is for those who are Permanent Residents and meet certain requirements. First, the applicant must have been a lawful permanent resident for 5 years at the time the application is filed. Second, must have continuous residence in the United States for at least 7 years after being admitted in any status and before the stop-time rule is triggered (see below). Third, cannot have a conviction for an aggravated felony. It is important to note that this type of cancellation of removal does not require a showing of any particular level of hardship, either to the applicant or his or her family. However, more serious crimes require more substantial equities to warrant cancellation. Immigration Judges will consider length of residence in the United States, family and community ties here, community service work, participation in clubs or religious organizations, language ability in the country of proposed removal, work history, timely filing of taxes, and especially acceptance of responsibility for the crime and proof of rehabilitation.

At some point in our lives most of us have to place our health and wellbeing in the hands of medical professionals. We expect the highest level of care. Usually we receive just that. But sometimes things go wrong.
If you or a member of your family has suffered an injury due to negligence during medical treatment we can advise if you have a claim. It is vital to seek the right advice. Sometimes people are poorly or wrongly advised that there was no clinical negligence or that no loss has been suffered as a result of the treatment.
Clinical negligence happens when a medical worker or healthcare professional makes a mistake, or acts in a way that damages your health or wellbeing. This could be a preventable error caused by an oversight or minor mistake. Similarly an inaccurate, incorrect or delayed treatment, misdiagnosis, provision of incorrect medications, surgical error, delay in diagnosis or a failure to refer a matter to a specialist. The medical professional may have failed to obtain your consent.
Our client's benefit from our knowledge of medical treatment issues and expertise in serious injuries to advise on highly complex cases.
Peter Davies also specialises in cases of dental negligence. He regularly works with the same experts and barristers to achieve success on behalf of his clients.
Our team will provide free advice and guidance on pursuing a clinical negligence compensation claim, without obligation.
Clinical Negligence claims differ from Personal Injury claims. They require you to prove two things; fault and causation.
To prove fault you must, with our help, show that the healthcare professional failed to carry out their responsibilities. And, that if they had carried out their duties you would have avoided the subsequent injuries.
You might have heard phrases such as 'breach of duty'. In simple terms this simply means that the care you received fell below the standard expected of a reasonably competent and skilful specialist for the type of condition you had.
Causation can often be harder to establish. You will need to show that the negligent care, rather than your original or underlying condition, caused you harm.
Depending upon your injuries we will arrange for reports to be obtained from independent medical experts to help prove these two issues.
It is usually necessary to start a compensation claim within 3 years of the date of your injury or of the date when you first discovered that your injury was the result of medical or clinical negligence. It is best to seek legal advice as soon as possible after the clinical negligence took place. We can help you to record evidence that will only be available from your memory.
We need to fully understand the impact that the negligence has had on your life, to ensure that any compensation you receive will cover all your future needs. Preparing a medical negligence case can involve taking detailed statements, obtaining full copies of your medical records and X-rays, and seeking experts reports and opinions.
Finding the right law firm is key to the process. Many lawyers will genuinely try to assist you, however they may not have the necessary expertise to bring your claim or secure the maximum amount of compensation for you.
When done properly, this process can be lengthy, especially in high value cases. This preparation, however, will give you case the best chance of success. You will require detailed medical evidence. This will enable your claim to be valued and presented to the other side and a judge if required. Evidence will be provided by experts. They will need to examine you and as the circumstances that led to the injury. The process may also require you to attend court if an early settlement is not reached. This happens in only a very small minority of cases. We will be by your side every step of the way so please do not be put off by the thought of this.
In our experience, it's not always compensation that you want; sometimes it's an apology, justice to be done, or simply to know that no one else will suffer in the same way. Claiming compensation for clinical or medical negligence will only be able to provide you with financial compensation.
You may not know if you want to make a claim for compensation. Regardless, you are entitled to make a written complaint about your treatment within six months.
Our team are here to help you. Email us at enquiries@seriousinjury.expert or call us on 01285 654875.
Our experts will review your claim and consider whether you have a case for compensation that justifies our working for you, free of charge. Once we have considered your case we will tell you whether you have a reasonable chance of success. You can then decide whether you want to instruct us to act on your behalf.
Your initial contact with us is free and you won't be under any obligation to instruct us. If you chose us to instruct us we will offer you a no win, no fee agreement where possible. This means that you will not pay any legal fees if your case is lost*. If you win your case then you may be charged a success fee. This will be deducted from your compensation.
Other methods of funding your case are available.
Detailed information relating to costs will be explained in detail, free of charge, before you decide whether to instruct us.
In all cases, if your claim is successful, the side paying your compensation will also pay your legal costs. If your claim is run under a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) and your claim is unsuccessful, we will not charge a fee and you are not liable for any of our costs*.

Compensation for CRPS following negligent surgery
Brian had surgery on his knee and developed an infection. As a result Brian developed a chronic pain condition which left him struggling with stairs and unable to pursue his hobbies. Brian accepted and out-of-court award of £200,000
Compensation settlement for loss of sight in one eye
In May 2012 Mrs S went to see her GP with a letter written by her optician who recommended onward referral to an ophthalmological specialist.
Instead of referring her Mrs S' GPs prescribed eye drops following various appointments over several months. Mrs S was a patient of a group practice and so was seen by a number of different doctors.
After about five months one of Mrs S' GPs finally referred her (urgently) to a local hospital. The specialist there was so concerned by his own findings that he made an urgent onward referral to a specialist eye hospital and they saw Mrs S promptly.
Thorough assessment and further investigations revealed that Mrs S had a tumour behind her eye and she was listed for surgery to remove it.
The tumour was removed but sadly Mrs S lost the sight in her eye.
Breach of duty was admitted by the first GP Mrs S had seen: on the basis that she should have been referred to a specialist but was not.
The first GP did not however accept that there was a causative link between the delay in referring Mrs S to a specialist and the eventual loss of sight in the affected eye.
Expert evidence was obtained from a GP and a Consultant Ophthalmologist with a special interest in orbital surgery. Counsel (a barrister) was instructed and Mrs S's claim was valued.
The GP's solicitors advanced what appeared to be a nuisance offer, which was quite upsetting for Mrs S. Court proceedings were issued and defended. Offers and counter-offers were exchanged and eventually, Mrs S elected to settle her claim without proceeding to trial.
At the conclusion of her claim Mrs S wrote to our Mark Tawn:
"Thanks for all your help and support and to the team at Davey Law as well throughout. Truly grateful."
We were delighted to work for and with Mrs S and to achieve an outcome with which she was happy.
If you think you have been inadequately treated by your doctor and that you have suffered injury and loss as a consequence talk to Davey Law now.

Issuing proceedings does not necessarily mean a trial
Mrs D came to us with a clinical negligence claim which arose from retained products of conception following the birth of her second child. This went undiagnosed in spite of numerous follow-up health appointments over many months.
The fact that the condition remained unresolved with the health authority caused her many months of suffering and embarrassment.
As the health authority would not co-operate, proceedings were issued and the claim was vigorously defended, in spite of the robust medical evidence which we had obtained in support of the claim. We issued proceedings and the health authority continued to deny liability.
As we approached trial our vigorous approach toward the claim resulted in the health authority making an acceptable offer to settle the claim. Mrs D was delighted and we accepted the offer on her instructions.

We live in a world where everyone is obsessed with trying to find their happily ever after. We are part of a world where it's so easy to find someone when you're lonely but equally difficult to find someone when you're ready. We don't want to feel alone and the lengths that we go to in order to make sure we're never lonely, is sometimes pretty appalling.
In the world that has no time to stop, that has no time to really work towards building a relationship, it is almost a laughable matter to be in search of soul mates. But my dear, this is exactly where most of us go wrong.
Soul mates don't always have to be people you're in love with or who you might want to potentially build a relationship with. Sometimes the most perfectly matched soul mates are your best friends.
True no one wants to label one particular friend as their best friend because let's face it we share different and comfortable equations with all our friends. But the soul mates that I have, well I think we've literally watched ourselves go through hell and come back. Our friendship has run so deep that we are aware when one of us is upset or unhappy. I'm no longer surprised when I wake up in the middle of the night, feeling restless and horrible, because I know one of them is upset. I am not surprised, when I cry myself to sleep and get a text asking me, "What's wrong? Why are you so sad?" Followed by a series of jokes that would force anyone out of a bad mood!
So you see you're being an absolute jackass if you think you're going to find your perfect soul mate in a romantic relationship. You've already found your soul mate in your friends. You're just too stubborn to realize it.


Ganymede is Jupiter's largest moon, and indeed the largest moon in the entire solar system; it is larger in diameter than Mercury but only about half its mass. Ganymede is much larger than Pluto. It was discovered in 1609 by Galileo Galilei and named for the cup-bearer of the Greek gods, beloved of Zeus.
Ganymede is composed of silicate rock and water ice, with an ice crust floating over a slushy mantle that may contain a layer of liquid water. Preliminary indications from the Galileo probe data suggest that Ganymede is differentiated into a three layer structure: a small molten iron or iron/sulfur core surrounded by a rocky silicate mantle with a icy shell on top. This metallic core suggests a greater degree of heating at sometime in Ganymede's past than had previously been proposed. In fact, Ganymede may be similar to Io with an additional outer layer of ice.
Ganymede's surface is a roughly equal mix of two types of terrain: very old, highly cratered dark regions and somewhat younger (but still ancient) lighter regions marked with an extensive array of grooves and ridges. Their origin is clearly of a tectonic nature; Ganymede's crust appears to be divided into separate plates which, like Earth's tectonic plates, are able to move independently and interact along fracture zones producing mountain ranges. Features reminscent of old lava flows have also been observed. In this respect, Ganymede may be more similar to the Earth than either Venus or Mars (though there is no evidence of recent tectonic activity). Similar ridge and groove terrain is seen on Enceladus, Miranda and Ariel. The dark regions are similar to the surface of Callisto.
Extensive cratering is seen on both types of terrain. The density of cratering indicates an age of 3 to 3.5 billion years, similar to the Moon. Craters both overlay and are cross cut by the groove systems indicating that the grooves are quite ancient, too. Relatively young craters with rays of ejecta are also visible. Unlike the Moon, however, the craters are quite flat, lacking the ring mountains and central depressions common to craters on the Moon and Mercury. This is probably due to the relatively weak nature of Ganymede's icy crust which can flow over geologic time and thereby soften the relief. Ancient craters whose relief has disappeared leaving only a "ghost" of a crater are known as palimpsests.
The largest feature on Ganymede is a dark plain named Galileo Regio, as well as a series of concentric ridges that are remnants of an ancient impact crater long since obscured by subsequent geological activity.
Evidence for a tenuous oxygen atmosphere on Ganymede, very similar to the one found on Europa, has been found recently by the Hubble space telescope. Note that this is NOT evidence of life; it is thought that the oxygen is produced when water ice on Ganymede's surface is split into hydrogen and oxygen by radiation and then the hydrogen is lost due to its low atomic mass.
The Galileo probe's first flyby of Ganymede discovered that Ganymede has its own magnetosphere field embedded inside Jupiter's huge one. This is probably generated in a similar fashion to the Earth's: as a result of motion of conducting material in the interior. It is thought that this conductive material may be a layer of liquid water with a high salt concentration, or it may originate in Ganymede's metallic core.

An IT Staff of Communicators and Leaders
By: Christina Southern on Feb 28, 2019 11:50:00 AM
Finding a Business IT expert who is also a great communicator and strong leader is no easy task. That's why C Spire Business is so proud of our support and technical team. This group holds strong interpersonal skills and technical abilities like no other in the Business IT industry - literally.
Our team touts a 96 percent customer satisfaction rate, and our engineers hold more than 160 specialized certifications with vendors such as Amazon Web Services, Cisco, Citrix, EMC, Microsoft, and VMware.
What's That Mean for Clients?
No matter the complexity or scope of the project, the C Spire crew can handle it with ease. Our system admins and engineers take their work seriously but don't take themselves too seriously. They value relationships and getting stuff done the right way.
Here are just a few of the messages we've received from C Spire Business clients:
"I routinely participate in 3-5 security webinars every week and wanted to provide a note on how amazing and educational both Nick VanGilder and Will Enochs were during their recent webinar. They seemed excited to present and definitely understood cybersecurity and testing tools. This team provided real-world demos, which takes a lot of time to plan and design. This wasn't a sales pitch or a boring slide deck. This hands-on demonstration was so good and valuable for real world scenarios that I would gladly pay for myself or my team to attend a cyber-training/hands-on lab if you guys decided to pursue that in the future. Look forward to more webinars!"
Chris Moon, Director of Information Technology at Vision Wheel
"Thanks again, Shane Gray, for all the great communication and how well you're managing our project with C Spire. I can't believe how quickly these last five weeks have gone by and how much has been accomplished."
Chris Lucas, Tractor & Equipment Company
"Steven Morris was fantastic in working on a complicated issue for us this past month and especially over the weekend. Steven went way beyond what was expected – working throughout the weekend - to help us diagnose and resolve the problem. I hope in the future that I get to work with him again."
-Rick Hood, Vice President at Skin Diagnostics Group, PC
"Let's talk about something I like. Tim Ford & Tim Carter. The Tims with C Spire. They have always done a great job and continue to do so. We had a situation the other day, moving phones, adding phones. Made me feel like no matter what I asked for, the answer was going to be YES. Thankful for these guys."
-Todd Hoffman, Director of Corporate Operations, Threaded Fasteners

IPDS Italy and Dominican Republic: Participant Reflections
The spring 2023 Michael and Nancy Chicola International Professional Development Schools (IPDS) program cohorts invite you to follow their international teaching and travel experiences this month through their individual blogs.
Eight IPDS Italy teacher education candidates from a variety of disciplines will travel to Torremaggiore, Italy, from January 3 to 21, led by Kerry Renzoni, chair and associate professor of music education, and Sherri Weber, associate professor of elementary education, literacy, and educational leadership. While in Italy, participants will engage with K–6 public school students at San Giovanni Bosco Early Childhood/Childhood School. Please visit and comment on the IPDS Italy travel blogs.
Eight IPDS Dominican Republic education and psychology students will travel to Cabarete, Dominican Republic, from January 8 to 22, led by Tamara Horstman-Riphahn, executive assistant to the dean of the School of Education, and Pamela Schuetze-Pizarro, professor of psychology. While in the Dominican Republic, participants will work closely with 3 Mariposas Montessori and the Mariposa DR Foundation Center for Girls. Please visit and comment on the IPDS Dominican Republic travel blogs.
Participants in both programs participate in field experiences in local schools, explore language learning and teaching, conduct educational research, and engage in a variety of cultural activities. The students love to hear from faculty and staff members, so please take a moment to leave a comment on their blog while you are enjoying their reflections and photos.
