March 26, 2014 — Benjamin Waterhouse is an assistant professor of History at the University of North Carolina and the author of the new book, "Lobbying America: The Politics of Business from Nixon to NAFTA." Waterhouse follows the role that business associations — particularly the Business Roundtable, the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Manufacturers — played in the conservative drift in American politics since the early 1970s. In the conversation, Waterhouse discusses how business changed the tenor of political discourse (and fought off Ralph Nader and "consumerists"). He also rejects the notion that the U.S. doesn't have an "industrial policy" — it's just an industrial policy that has favored large firms through policies like NAFTA.

Die Rally Islas Canarias 2011 war der zweite Lauf der Intercontinental Rally Challenge 2011. Die Rallye fand vom 14. bis 16. April 2011 auf der Insel Gran Canaria statt. Sie zählte außerdem zur spanischen Rallye-Meisterschaft.

Das Fahrerlager der Rallye befand sich in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Nach dem Shakedown am 14. April wurden am 15. April die ersten Wertungsprüfungen gefahren. Am ersten Rallyetag standen acht Prüfungen mit einer Länge von 116,81 Kilometern auf dem Programm, darunter auch zwei Nachtprüfungen am Tagesende. Eine davon musste allerdings aus Sicherheitsgründen abgesagt werden. Am zweiten Tag folgten vier Prüfungen mit einer Länge von 73,78 Kilometern. Insgesamt wurden elf Wertungsprüfungen mit einer Länge von 167,52 Kilometern auf asphaltierten Straßen ausgetragen. Zur Rallye traten 35 Starter der IRC und 41 der spanischen Meisterschaft an.

Nach der ersten Wertungsprüfung führte kurzzeitig Guy Wilks. Anschließend fuhr Jan Kopecký mehrere Bestzeiten und übernahm die Führung, die er bis zum Ende des ersten Tages behielt. Der Vorsprung auf seine Verfolger Freddy Loix, Thierry Neuville und Juho Hänninen lag allerdings nur im Bereich weniger Sekunden. Am zweiten Tag übernahm Neuville die Führung, bis er sie schon in der nächsten Prüfung an Hänninen verlor. Daraufhin ereignete sich ein enger Zweikampf zwischen den Škoda-Piloten Kopecký und Hänninen um den Gesamtsieg, den Hänninen knapp mit 1,5 Sekunden Vorsprung für sich entschied. Neuville wurde mit 8,2 Sekunden Rückstand Dritter.

In der Wertung der spanischen Meisterschaft siegte Miguel Fuster vor Bruno Magalhães und Xavier Pons.

More information about Glenn Hughes performs Classic Deep Purple "live" tickets
Glenn Hughes, the former bassist and singer of Deep Purple, known to millions as the 'Voice of Rock', Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and the current front man for rock super group Black Country Communion, is pleased to announce that he will be performing Deep Purple only material with his "GLENN HUGHES PERFORMS CLASSIC DEEP PURPLE LIVE" nationwide UK tour .
The tour promises to be a dynamic, turn-back-the-clocks, two-hour live extravaganza homage to his tenure in MK 3 and MK 4 incarnations of Deep Purple - one of music history's most seminal and influential rock and roll groups. All tickets are priced £27.50
"I'm excited to be touring the "Classic Deep Purple Live" in the UK. I first toured Classic Deep Purple Live in Australia and New Zealand last year and it went down like a storm. We're also touring the show throughout South America in April, and festivals throughout the summer. By the time we tour the UK, we'll be on fire."
As well as Glenn on lead vocals and bass guitar, the touring band also features Soren Anderson (guitar), Jesper Bo Hansen (keyboards) and new drummer for the project Fernando Escobedo (drums)
Deep Purple took a quantum leap when the then 20-year-old Glenn Hughes was seconded from British funk-rock outfit Trapeze in mid-1973. As bassist and co-vocalist (with David Coverdale), he helped steer the legendary rock group in the progressive direction of Burn (1974), Stormbringer (1974) and Come Taste the Band (1975), while touring the world for three years.
His solo debut album Play Me Out (1977) preceded later albums with Black Sabbath and Gary Moore. The last 25 years have seen a rush of solo work and collaborations for the 'Voice of Rock' including mega hit America: What Time Is Love? with the KLF in 1992, and four critically acclaimed top selling studio albums released between 2010 and 2018 with rock super group Black Country Communion featuring Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian. Glenn was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 20l6 along with other members of Deep Purple.
Taking a page and inspiration from the Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice Deep Purple MK 3 California Jam and Made in Europe era, the upcoming live show features the Purple classics Burn, Stormbringer, Might Just Take Your Life and Mistreated, amongst others, plus tracks previously never performed live by the original MK 3 line-up.
Classic material from the Tommy Bolin MK 4 period is also featured, including Getting' Tighter – Hughes' funk rock extravaganza extraordinaire, plus the brooding Coverdale /Hughes masterpiece You Keep On Moving.
Deep Purple MK 2 hits Highway Star and Smoke on the Water are also featured, because, as Glenn points out, ''I did play both these numbers during my time with Purple and they were mainstays of the live set when I was in the band. As my manager pointed out to me, the first time Smoke on The Water was ever played live at Madison Square Garden was when David and I were in the band in 1974. I love singing Highway Star, too."
Continues Glenn, "A few years back, I cut a barnstorming version of Highway Star for the Machine Head anniversary tribute album with my good friends Steve Vai and Chad Smith. I'm not playing anything on the forthcoming tour that I didn't either play live or record in the studio with Purple."
GLENN HUGHES PERFORMS CLASSIC DEEP PURPLE LIVE is the first time Glenn has performed a show solely of Deep Purple material since his last show with Purple at the Liverpool Empire on March 15th 1976. Not one wallow in nostalgia, hence his extensive and varied career post-Purple, Glenn feels the time is right to acknowledge and pay homage to his past, his musical legacy, and, most importantly, to one of rock and roll's most acclaimed, influential and successful rock bands.
''I can still sing the songs, in some ways even better than I did in the 70's," says Glenn. I can still perform them with the same energy that was on the stage back then, too. I feel that the time is right. It's fun to get back into character of my days with Purple. I'm looking back at my life and I want to remember the good stuff. I'm incredibly excited to perform these songs, as they helped define the genre. I can assure you, the new show is going to blow your mind.''
Glenn Hughes is pleased to announce his UK tour dates for January and February 2017. A true vocal and musical icon of our times, in the past couple of years Glenn concentrated again on his solo career. Sold out crowds were the order of the day, while touring non-stop throughout 2015, with shows in South America, Europe, UK, Japan and Singapore.
In 2015 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced that Deep Purple including MKIII, were to be inducted after several previous nominations over the years - a culmination of a 40+ years career which saw Glenn leave his indelible mark in several musical endeavours and bands, including Trapeze, Deep Purple, Hughes/Thrall, his collaborations with Gary Moore, Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi and most recently with Black Country Communion and California Breed.

What the 'transgender tipping point' really means
Laurie Penny, New Republic June 29, 2014
This month, Time magazine published a cover story titled "The Transgender Tipping Point." The trend-hungry American press is toppling over with spurious tipping points, but this one is real, and it's important. Centuries of marginalization mean that the statistics are still shaky, but it is estimated that between 0.1 and 5 percent of the population of earth is trans, genderqueer, or intersex. Whichever way you slice it, that's millions of human beings. As a species, we have come up with space travel, antibiotics, so it seems rather archaic that so much of our culture, from money and fashion, love and family is still ordered around the idea that people come in two kinds based roughly on the contents of their underpants.
Something enormous is happening in our culture. In the past three years, and especially in the past twelve months, a great many transsexual celebrities, actors and activists have exploded into the public sphere. Some of have taken the brave step of disclosing their trans status after they were already household names, like American presenter Janet Mock, rockstar Laura Jane Grace, athlete Fallon Fox, Oscar-winning director Lana Wachowski or activist and former soldier Chelsea Manning. Others have simply become successful without hiding or apologising for their trans status, like sassy British columnist Paris Lees, or actress Laverne Cox, star of "Orange Is The New Black," who graced the Time cover as one of a new generation of breakout trans stars.

Narrow lanes and deeper histories: Reflections from KG Halli

వాళ్ళున్న ఇండ్లు… కిళ్ళీ కొట్ల కన్నా సిన్నగున్నవి

Indian cities are witnessing an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases and are posing significant health challenges particularly to the lower-income groups given the necessity to accommodate chronic care into their everyday lives. To understand this process of normalization of chronic care and the challenges thereof, as a part of the PEAK Urban Health project carried out at the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), we undertook an ethnographic enquiry in Kadugondana Halli (KG Halli)-a low income settlement in India's mega city Banagalore. Three months of fieldwork that lasted from January to March 2021 before the disruption due to the Covid second wave provided different perceptions of health from this neighborhood, that are shaped by a multitude of social factors. During this process, I also came across several instances and numerous conversations -sometimes not directly related to the object of enquiry- sometimes reinforcing my already established notions and at other times challenging some of my earlier assumptions. This ethnographic experience entailed negotiations with the everyday dominant discourse on some of the important social concerns, including accessibility to basic human needs, patriarchy and inequality revealing their not so neat operations which is often overlooked. What became clearer with every conversation was that the everyday manifestation of poverty, inequality and patriarchy is a complex process that is entwined with the everyday life.
While doing fieldwork, the lines of the Telugu poet Goreti Venkanna, which this piece started out with, reverberated in my head and resisted fading out for days after my fieldwork had apparently ended. Venkanna writes, "the lanes are narrow, but the story of the poor residing in this neighbourhood is deep [and] the homes of these people are tinier than a paan dhaabba1". Every street I wandered and every home I visited for the next few months introduced me to people in this neighbourhood who had a story to tell me, and those stories were indeed profound. In what follows, I share some of these instances and several vignettes that reflect my subjective experience in trying to understand the place of KG Halli. These vignettes are short glimpses into the thoughts and conversations that constituted my fieldwork. They are written with a view to be fleeting scenes, notes from the field that become marginalia as I look for patterns, narratives, and the "big story" of health, poverty and inequality in the city of Bengaluru. These marginalia, I put forth, contain within them stories that sometimes go nowhere at all – an experience every ethnographer can, perhaps, relate to.

During the early days of field work, my colleague and I were wandering around the streets of KG Halli to get a hang of the neighbourhood. We asked people about what "being healthy" means to them as part of a study related to the impact of chronic conditions on the livelihoods of people residing in low income settlements. At around 11'o clock in the morning, I came across a man in his late fifties, accompanied by his drunk friend. They sat in front of what is called the Corporation Quarters, which was built by the local government as part of the Slum Development Program. I went and engaged with the drunk friend first- not because I knew he was drunk- and initiated a conversation in my not so fluent Kannada with this man, whose first language was Tamil. After generations of co-existence by culturally diverse groups, almost everyone in the neighbourhood speaks at least three different languages- Urdu, Tamil and Kannada.2
As the conversation unfolded, I realised that the other (sober) man spoke Telugu, my first language. When I engaged him, he started talking to me about his whereabouts, their migration story, about his family- his children, grandchildren-, his health condition and why he gave up smoking bidis3 after he vomited blood and how his family ended up residing in the Corporation Quarters as a part of the resettlement process that ensued after an evacuation exercise carried out by the local government in one of the elite localities of the Bangalore city. From that day on, every single day I went around KG Halli, I would see this man sitting in the same place, usually alone. A few times, I also saw him talking to himself. Every morning I passed by, I raised my hand to wish him a good day, and he raised his back. But, what I kept asking myself every time I saw him was a question that had little to do with public health. What I kept coming back to was: how does someone sit at the same place every day, all by himself?
We went to visit the primary health care centre in DJ Halli, another low-income neighbourhood adjoining KG Halli. On a footpath opposite the hospital, an aged man named Satya was selling some fruit. His customers are hospital patients and kids who attend the nearby public school. My colleague and I went to this man and started engaging him in conversation to understand what being healthy meant to him. First, we conversed with him about his whereabouts and life history. Satya told us he was a part of a local dance troop that performs the traditional art of "Keelu Gurra," including on international stages like Paris. With the art form becoming obsolete, Satya became a fruit seller.

I noticed two events this day, while waiting for our other team members. I saw a young boy, probably 10 years old, riding an electric bike with a few other kids running behind him. In a month-and-a-half, I had never seen an electric bike here, and it surprised me. These bikes are generally only accessible in other (core) parts (Caldeira, 2016) of the city that have specific parking points. It was also surprising to notice how this kid was using this bike. He was riding it not using its technological features but rather by dragging his feet over the frictional force. A few other kids ran behind pushing him. Unable to withhold my curiosity, I went to this kid and asked him, where can I get something like this? The kid told me that "mera bhai ne diya" (my brother gave it to me). The bike was part of a "technology-driven mobility platform" firm avowedly guided by three principles- "accessibility, availability, affordability," and was commonly hired. How did it appear in this neighbourhood? I do not know. But, seeing this young boy ride – or drag – this bike along complicated my understanding of what exactly accessibility, availability and affordability can mean.
As the kids played with the electric bike and I struggled to understand its presence in the neighbourhood, I noticed an old lady named Fatima come outside her home and sit quietly on a bunch of rocks to my left. I knew Fatima from when I visited her home for an interview a few days earlier. Fatima resides along with her elder daughter in a crowded room divided into a kitchen, bedroom and a washroom. Fatima, now 66 years old, was married at 11 but lost her husband 35 years ago. They had three children- one daughter and two sons. After the loss of her husband, Fatima raised her children doing menial jobs such as washing clothes and dishes in homes and, occasionally, at weddings. Five years ago, Fatima had been diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension when her "family doctor" from the "basti" whom she used to visit to get injections for her knee pain suggested she get tested for diabetes and hypertension from the nearby government hospital. Unable to push her body any further, Fatima stopped working, becoming dependent on her unmarried elder daughter, who returned from Saudi Arabia. Fatima was worried about her daughter's marriage, and hopes that it takes place before her she passes away. Fatima also complained that both her sons whom she raised with her hard work as a single mother do not pay her enough attention. On this Friday, when I noticed Fatima walking out of her house and sitting quietly on a side, we went to greet her and inquire about her wellbeing. A few minutes later, I noticed a middle-aged man approach Fatima after completing his prayers from the nearby Masjid to offer her alms. Fatima received these alms, blessed this man and went back inside her home, leaving me with my thoughts about the bike.
We were going for follow-up interviews. On the way we met a young girl named Sara, who was probably around 10-11 years old. One of my colleagues asked Sara why she wasn't at school that particular day. Sara responded saying that she had a fight in the school the previous day where some of her school friends were heckling the RCB (Royal Challengers Bangalore) team, a prominent cricket team in the Indian Premier League. Talking to Sara, I recalled the conversation we had with Ravi, Sara's father, who was diagnosed with hypertension and is partially paralysed. That day as we spoke with Ravi inside his home, Sara was playing cricket with other kids in the neighbourhood. Sara's mother was working, impelled by her husband's health condition which left him unable to be the family's bread winner. From our conversation with Ravi we learned he came from a family of barbers- traditionally, a caste occupation. After migrating to Bangalore from a village 60 kms away, Ravi started working at a men's salon and was aspiring to start his own business one day. Ravi did start his own business along with a friend by borrowing an amount of five lakh rupees (nearly 6700 USD) with interest. Ravi said that a few years later, "I got deceived by my friend and I could no longer repay the loans". Under such circumstances, Ravi had a stroke, and his left arm was paralysed. While undergoing treatment for his paralysis, Ravi was diagnosed with hypertension. With Ravi unable to earn anymore, his wife took the responsibility of the family and started working as a household help. Prior to this diagnosis, Ravi was the sole income earner of the family and his wife only did household chores. When asked Ravi, if he is okay with his wife earning, Ravi responded, "what other choice is left?"
Day 17 and 23
KG Halli introduced me to two single women Sheetal and Veena. Sheetal practices Islam and is married as a second wife and Veena belongs to Dalit community and had lost her husband a few years back. One pattern I noticed during my fieldwork was granddaughters growing up in their grandparents' home, helping them with household chores. While Sheetal does not have any children, Veena had a similar living arrangement. Sheetal grew up in a family of nine children- three brothers and six sisters- and lost her father when she was two years old. The family migrated from the rural part of Tamil Nadu to Bangalore in search of a sustainable livelihood on the advice of one of her elder sister who was already living in Bangalore after her marriage when Sheetal was 4 years old. When Sheetal was 13 years old, she started working in a shoe factory to help her family economically. Recalling her initial days of working in the factory as a child, Sheetal says, "choti hai karke nahi liye unlog. Burkha daalke gayi. Baad liye." [ They didn't take me for work because I was a child. Then I wore a burkha and went and I was accepted]. At 24, Sheetal was married as a second wife to a family acquaintance who later went on to marry another woman without informing Sheetal. When Sheetal was asked how she felt when she knew it, she responded saying, "Pata chala toh…uski paalne ki himmat hai, kar liye. Main udhar se ki naara hogayi. Jao. Udhar hi raho bola". [After I knew it…[I felt] he has the means to handle, so he did. I became angry after that and told him to go and stay with the other woman]. After this incident, a few years later, on the advice of a friend who previously worked in Saudi Arabia, and given the low earning potential here, Sheetal left to Saudi Arabia to work for a family as household help. Summing up her experience, Sheetal says, "payment milta hai par azaadi ((freedom) toh nahi milti na" [I earned better money but had no freedom]. When asked Sheetal what is the azaadi that she is referring to, she says, "Bahar nahi bhejte akele. Family ke saath hi aate jaate" [They didn't send us outside alone. I could only go if the owner's family took me along]. I wonder what actually changed in Sheetal's life from her early childhood when she migrated to Bangalore. At one point in our conversation, when I asked Sheetal if she explored any Bangalore when they initially migrated here, she responded, "Humare ghar mein bahar sab nahi bhejte na. Ghar pe hi rehne ka. Humara ammi bhi nahi jaati thi bahar" [ In our homes, they didn't send us outside. We had to stay inside the home itself. My mother also never used to go out.]
Veena's story is similar. Her family also migrated from rural Tamil Nadu to Bangalore in search of livelihood and finally settled down in KG Halli. Neither Sheetal nor Veena had any kind of formal education, and both grew up in large families with more than nine children. Veena was the oldest of 14 children. Like Sheetal, who started working in a shoe factory at the age of 13, Veena began working when she was a child to support her family. Veena used to work along with her parents in what she calls "lakdi ki taal" (a wood store) along with taking care of her younger siblings. Describing their living condition while growing up, Veena says that their family of 14 people resided in a small "jhopdi" (hut) provided by their employer and in the store house made to protect the wood from rain "bachche log udhar sote the"[kids used to sleep there].

Sheetal and Veena also had similar weddings. While Sheetal was married after attaining the legal age, Veena was married when she was 14 years old to a man who was working in the same "lakdi ka taal". Describing her wedding, Veena says, "Devasthan ko bulake gaye. Udhar taali bandheya. Woh peela dori bandhiya. Humareko woh shaadi karko bhi maloom nahi [They took me to a temple and performed the ritual. I did not even know that it was a wedding]. Soon after her she got married, Veena had three children in three consecutive years by the age of 17. Veena recalls that the doctor who conducted her delivery also performed a tubectomy expressing concern about her age. She adds, "woh doctor bhi mera saat diya"[That doctor also helped me]. Six years back, Veena lost her husband in an accident and a year later she was diagnosed with hypertension when she fell unconscious on her way back from work. She now resides with her granddaughter and daughter who returned to KG Halli after losing her husband in a quarrel in the village. Currently, Veena's daughter takes care of the family economically by working as household help and her nine-year old daughter helps her grandmother with the household chores. Veena says that she is a little disappointed that her granddaughter does not take part in household chores as she expects, which causes her tension. She believes, "Ab sikhayenge nahi to yeh bachcha log ko unko zindagi mein kaisa? Mereko utna taqleef hua na usko nahi aana". [If I don't teach her now, how will she manage later in her life? She should not face the hardships that I had to].
Ethnographic engagement with KG Halli introduced me to the place and its people and stories that ran deeper than its narrow lanes and tiny homes. The vignettes discussed here inform that the everyday health experience of people is determined by a multitude of social factors. These narratives also negate any simplistic understanding of some of the important social concerns and the process of their reproduction. For instance, I really do not know why the old man sits in front of the Corporation Quarters every day religiously. Lack of decent housing facilities while may be a plausible reason, I wondered, what if there's more? Similarly, the story of electric bike presented a form of "access" that is in sharp contrast to how Fatima was meeting some of her subsistence needs through religious solidarity, getting me think about the extent of social relevance of each of these different forms of "access". Likewise, Sara's school fight over cricket and her father's ideas about women working outside the home seemed not exactly fitting into the often neat descriptions of patriarchy in the dominant discourse. The social reproduction of intergenerational inequality in Sheetal's life, her unattained "Azaadi" and Veena's concern for her grand-daughter makes me wonder, what sustains this reproduction and what does it take to break it?

The main port in Jamaica, Kingston is a beautiful natural harbour, allowing access to the Islands bustling capital where visitors can experience a city full of flavour and colour.
Kingston is an unusually large capital for a Caribbean island of its size and as such there is plenty for those enjoying their time ashore to explore. Music lovers will take pleasure from the Bob Marley Museum, and those looking to enjoy the local cuisine will find the markets full of locally created culinary delights. If you are looking for a lively nightspot, it's worth spending an evening in Lyme Kay, a small island a short boat trip away from the mainland.


Often in our disgustingly polarized times, activists, liberal and conservative, reverse Jesus' saying and eliminate the middle ground. They insist whoever is not for us is against us. Middle ground is liminal space, valuable to preserve for exploring what we have in common with others, what they have experienced, why they think the way they do. Middle ground is where real people replace stereotypes and liberate each other from the demons of prejudice and unexamined certainty. In the news the future of our democracy depends on finding common ground and common good, cups of water in Jesus' name all around for all in need.
To what and to whom does the name Christian obligate us?

The following extract is taken from
www.historywebsite.co.uk
and an article written by Mr. Peter Hickman entitled:
METHODISM IN BLAKENHALL AND PARKFIELD
The Toleration Act of 1689, in the reign of William and Mary, allowed freedom of worship to Protestant Dissenters from the Church of England who subscribed to the doctrine of the Trinity. All such dissenting congregations were required to register their meeting places with either the Clerk for the County, or with the Bishop of the Diocese. By the Protestant Dissenters Act 1852 all registration was transferred to the Registrar General.
A part of the register for Staffordshire shows the following entries:-
a house at Goldthorn Hill, Wolverhampton, registered for Protestant Dissenters by Thomas Aston of Wolverhampton and Joseph Dainty of Goldthorn Hill, on 27th May 1824 Thomas Aston was the circuit minister.
A chapel at Wolverhampton, registered for Protestant Dissenters by Thomas Aston, Minister, on 30th August 1825
This was Darlington Street Methodist Chapel, enlarged in 1848 and rebuilt in 1901.
a chapel in Lanes Field, Sedgley registered for Dissenters by Robert Sherwell of Wolverhampton, Minister, on 11th November 1850
This was Parkfield Chapel. Robert Sherwell was a Minister of the Primitive Methodist Church.
A. Camden Pratt, in his "Black Country Methodism", 1891, wrote:
The Fighting Cocks is still the name of a neighbourhood, as well as the sign of a large public house situated on and about that part of the Dudley Road where a turnpike gate very recently marked the bounds there between Wolverhampton and Sedgley, and was known as Fighting Cocks gate. The name tells of the time when the game of fighting cocks was the principal pastime of all classes, high and low, rich and poor, in the two parishes.... It took a bold Christian then to stand, the centre of attraction, where these four roads meet, to denounce all such fighting as a sin and a shame. He took his life in his hands, he who did it.
Yet Wesleyan local preachers were found to do it, and succeeded so far in their work as to find a roomy cottage tenanted by a man bold enough to lend it for such a purpose, there they opened with Sunday services. This was some years before Darlington Street Chapel was opened. By 1829 the Fighting Cocks society had crossed Dudley Road and progressed so far down the left-hand side of Parkfield Road as to take up its home in the house occupied by Mr Joseph Dainty, a charter master or butty collier.
For such a church in a house there was often a large congregation, and a room behind was frequently added to the large general room in which services were held, some fifty or sixty worshippers being thus provided for, while in Summer the front door would be left open and a score of additional seats around it would further increase the number of auditors.
The common life of the neighbourhood was indeed so lost that William Cooper, one of the Superintendents of the Sunday School of Darlington Street Chapel, who lived in a roomy house in Double Buildings (on Green Lanes) also opened his house for public services. Meantime Dainty's house could no longer find accommodation for the numbers who flocked there. Ultimately it was resolved to erect a chapel between the two and the result was the Wesleyan Chapel, Blakenhall.…
THE WESLEYAN CHAPEL, BLAKENHALL
The Rev T Moss opened the new chapel in 1839. Among the local preachers present were Mr Riley, Richard Dyson, T.Jackson, and William Bayliss.
The first brick was laid by old Mr Riley, the oldest preacher on the plan; but his once sturdy legs having grown too weak for even so short a journey, he was taken in her carriage by Mrs Thorneycroft (wife of G. B. Thorneycroft) and she helped him to lay the first brick and then laid the second herself!
The first Trustees Minute Book is still kept in the Wolverhampton City Archives and shows the names of Joseph Dainty, E Colman, John Lacy, M Bagnall, T. Hemmingsley, S Griffiths, Wm Summercliff, S Lloyd, J Southall, S Williams, E Williams, G Henshaw, G Spruce, J Leadbeater, R Phipps, R Fowkes.
The Chapel appears to have prospered, especially in 1849, when the cholera increased the attendance at both school and chapel! However, by 1857 most of the collieries were worked out and many families were obliged to leave the district. Due to the efforts of the congregation, led by a capable Minister, the Rev Edward Brice, prospects improved for a time. However by 1880 it was evident that a new building was required since the premises were beyond economic repair.
RANELAGH ROAD WESLEYAN METHODIST CHAPEL
In 1884 land was purchased in Knox Road for the building of a new church. However the outlook was not considered sufficiently imposing and this land was then sold and a more promising site in Ranelagh Road was bought. The stone laying of this Church took place on Monday November 3rd 1885. (A document placed in a bottle under the foundation stone was recovered in January 1965 and is now in Wolverhampton Archives). The Rev Dr Greaves conducted the opening services on 17th May 1886.
Sunday school still met in the old Dudley Road premises and, during that time, teachers and children could be seen, each Sunday, making their way to the new Church for the Sunday morning service.
In May 1889 the old buildings were sold for £200 and land then purchased alongside the new Church in order to build a Sunday school. This was accomplished at a cost of £798 15s 0d, a sale of work raising £179 18s 7d thereto. It was then decided that such a splendid church required a proper pipe organ and funds were raised for this purpose over the next decade. In 1910 a new Nicholson Organ costing £350 was installed. (This instrument was, in 1962, to be reinstalled in St John's Methodist Church at Parkfield).
This Chapel and School prospered spiritually, financially and numerically despite the difficulties caused by two world wars. Mr. Graham Wycherley recalls that during the second war the Home Guard occupied the Sunday school, so the Scholars had to meet in the Church.
At one time a Band of Hope group numbered 400 children and helpers. When this fell out of favour, together with weekly Class meetings and prayer meetings, they were replaced equally successfully with Women's Own, Regnal and Guild meetings.
Among the families of the Church were the Greens, Powises, Southalls, Costleys, Tildesleys and Joneses.
When Bethel Church was closed in 1955, the members of that church were warmly welcomed into the Ranelagh Road Society. They were by no means strangers since both these Churches and Parkfield were in the same sector of Darlington Street Circuit and shared the same Ministers. Among these the Revs Arthur Bowes, Leslie Bickley, Matthew Brown and David Le Seelleur are fondly remembered.
When in its turn Ranelagh Road closed its doors in 1962 its members became, together with those of Parkfield Chapel, founder members of St John's Parkfield.
The Parkfield Society began in the house of Mr and Mrs Meacham, in a group of cottages known locally as the 'Seven House Row'. In 1849 the men of the chapel resolved to construct a small place of worship, using their own labours and a gift of bricks from Washbourn's brickyard on the other side of Parkfield Road. Until 1903 the congregation sat in box pews to which stands were attached to hold candles, the only form of lighting. A church on Snow Hill closed and Mr. John Cartwright purchased the pews. With the assistance of Mr. John Thornton and other helpers these were installed, together with oil lamps hanging from the beams, and a cast iron stove in the centre to heat the chapel.
At that period the Chapel was part of the Bilston Circuit but in 1916 it was transferred to the Darlington Street Circuit. At the time of this transfer the last Minister was the Rev George Anderson and the next minister in the Wolverhampton Circuit was the Rev Veale.
In the 113 years of its life Parkfield Chapel was blessed with many faithful servants. Among these were
Mr. Ben Ward of Lanesfield, whose son Mr. B G Ward attended the school, and became a local preacher.
Mrs. M Banks who was born in 1851 and attended the Church until her death at the age of 62.
Mrs. Eliza Hodgetts who came to Wolverhampton (as Eliza Knight) in 1868 at the age of ten, from Peopleton in Worcestershire, to be employed in service, and became a leading member of the Chapel until her death at the age of 92 in 1949. (She was my Grandmother.)
Another family with long connections were the Powises. George Powis was a scholar, teacher and local preacher. He emigrated to America and worked as a miner. After a short time in the mines he was ordained into the Methodist Church of America and served for many years in Pennsylvania, eventually becoming President of the Conference of that State.
The Sunday school building was added, again a self-build, in 1858.
The chapel closed for worship in 1962, the small congregation becoming founder members of St John's, Parkfield.
The premises were retained by St John's for a period after the opening of that Church, for use by the uniformed organisations (Scouts, Guides, Cubs, Brownies etc)
POUNTNEY STREET WESLEYAN METHODIST MISSION HALL
Pountney Street Chapel building still stands (January 2005) on the corner of Thomas Street. It was opened in 1893 as a mission hall in the Darlington Street Wesleyan Methodist Circuit. At the first Trustees meeting, on Wednesday 8th November in that year, with Rev J Prescott in the chair, the following Trustees were elected: Mr. F C Harriman (Secretary); Mr. Geo Reed (Treasurer); Mr. James and Mr. Bell as Chapel Stewards; together with Mr. Sydney Reed to act as an Executive Committee. Other Trustees were Messrs. J W Sankey, S M Wright, N Frost, J C Miller and J P Haslam.
Mrs. Mary Jones of 1 Little Pountney Street was appointed as Caretaker at a weekly wage of 3/- per week, to be paid every four weeks, with one months notice to be given either way.
Sunday Schools were held both in the morning and the afternoon, with Divine Worship in the evening. A weekly meeting for mothers was begun and a young women's Guild run by Mrs. Gibbs. The Trustees also gave permission for a regular Saturday evening entertainment, and added that the Vestry may be used as a smoke room if so desired!
The Chapel thrived so that by 1901 sufficient funds were available not only to pay off the debt on the building but also to provide for the renovation of the hall. Matters of finance from then on seem to have been a problem solved by the generosity of the Treasurer, who annually made an ongoing loan of around £30 up to his death in 1914 when £16-7-0 was still owed. This sum was finally paid to his widow in 1918.
In 1923 the question of Methodist Reunion was discussed, but while agreeing in principle the Trustees felt that the matter should be deferred to a future date.
1924 saw the Caretaker getting a raise to 4/- per week.
The Sunday school seems to have been very successful with 40-60 on the roll and there were thoughts of putting a second storey on the building. However the 1920s and 1930s saw major redevelopment of the area, which involved the many narrow streets of terrace houses giving way to the multitude of small and medium sized factories which we see today.
The Trust was renewed in 1930 with 17 men, but not one of them lived within a mile of the Chapel. Throughout the 1939-45 War, Sunday School attendance continued in the 40s both morning and afternoon, but maintaining the necessary number of Teachers was becoming a problem. Staff reduced from 8 in 1938 to 3 or 4 by 1946. The congregation was similarly fewer in number.
In October 1949 a combined meeting of Leaders and Trustees, chaired by the Circuit Superintendent Rev Dr Eric Parsons, with the Minister Rev Robert 0. Moate, came to the conclusion that since the Chapel was no longer serving a surrounding residential area they should close. This was accepted with some reluctance, the vote being five Trustees for closure, one against and one abstaining.
Many of the folk moved their membership to Bethel and Ranelagh Road, among them Mr Terry Bowen, now the Caretaker of St John's Parkfield, who was a seven year old Sunday School Scholar at the time. Are there any others still around?
Dr Parsons asked that the names of Pountney Street workers should be recorded in the Minute Book when the final meeting was held on October 20th 1950. These were:
Mrs Lee; Mrs Padden; Miss Farmer; Mr A H Harrold (Secretary for 33 years); J Morris; F Morris; E A Ward; G Costley; H G Harwood; S J Jones; C Watkiss; F Watkiss; A Astbury; G Whittaker; Mrs Wainwright (Caretaker); J A Matthews;W J Whitehouse.
The funds of the Chapel amounting to stock worth £1934-13-0 were sent to Department of Methodist Church Purposes, Manchester.
BETHEL PRIMITIVE METHODIST CHAPEL
This Society, belonging to the Bilston Primitive Methodist Circuit, began in a small building in Derry Street. A large new Chapel was built about 1860 on the corner of Dudley Road. With the efforts of the members, led by their minister Rev W H Taylor, a new Sunday school was added in 1895.
A fine Nicholson and Lord organ was installed in 1900 with generous help from Andrew Carnegie, the noted American benefactor. The organist at this time was Mr. A P Jordan who gave a pair of stained glass windows depicting Hugh Bourne and William Clowes. These are now preserved in the Vestry of St John's Parkfield.
A number of Ministers of note occupied the pulpit over the years among them the Reverends Grainger, Knapp, W H Taylor, W E Webley, Joseph Maland, John Kinnish, W H Richardson and Matthew Brown.
It is not possible to name all the members who supported and helped Bethel during it's long history but the following families deserve a mention: Grosvenor, George, Jordan, Malkin, Clamp, Male, Taylor, Powell, Blewitt, Wightman, Bull, Ashcroft, Stackhouse and many others too numerous to name.
The choir reached great heights under the leadership of several conductors including Messrs Wakefield, Priest, Massey and, especially, Theo Grosvenor, the founding leader of Wolverhampton Orpheus Male Voice Choir, who introduced many soloists of the first rank in Oratorios at Bethel.
In January 1950 the Pountney Street Mission was closed. Some members went to Ranelagh Road, others joined with the friends of Bethel.
In 1955 the roof of Bethel and the walls were pronounced unsafe for public use and the Church had to close. The Society then joined with Ranelagh Road Church. Their Organ was presented to the new East Park Methodist Chapel.
THE COMING TOGETHER OF FOUR SOCIETIES
For many years, Sunday by Sunday, members of Ranelagh Road and Bethel greeted each other as they passed on their way to Worship. It had been in the minds of many that their best interests would be served by combining the two Societies. But this was not done until, in 1955, an inspection of the Bethel building revealed serious structural problems. An investigation revealed that the cost of making good this deterioration was too great a figure for the Church to meet.
Therefore on November 20th 1955 the Valedictory services were held. The Minister, the Rev Matthew Brown, and the Chairman of the District, the Rev Leslie Davison, officiated and on the following Sunday the Bethel members, with those from Pountney Street who had moved there in the years before, united as one Society at Ranelagh Road.
At that time there was some talk of a completely new church, but this seemed a remote possibility. However in 1956 Miss Alice L Onions, a member of Parkfield Road, died and, in affection for the old Chapel, left her entire estate in the hope that the money might be used in building a new church. At meetings held subsequently it was strongly felt by members of Parkfield that the furtherance of the Kingdom of God could best be served by building a New Church and incorporating all the former Societies into one body.
A suitable site was found on the Wolverhampton Road East at Fighting Cocks. This was formerly part of the garden of Mr. Hill's Parkfield House and had an area of 4000 square yards.
Meanwhile the Wolverhampton Corporation was planning the redevelopment of the Blakenhall area and, after negotiations in which the Circuit Superintendent Rev John Jackson played a major part, the Corporation agreed to purchase the Ranelagh Road site.
Without any one of these circumstances it is very doubtful whether the scheme, costing £42,000 could ever have been contemplated.
ST JOHN'S METHODIST CHURCH, PARKFIELD
A 'Founding Trust' was set up consisting of members from both churches. These were:
Jane Hewitt, George Venables, John Smallwood, Hubert Hunt, Kathleen Hunt,
Theodore Cholmondeley, Percival Cliff, John Chambers, May West,
Albert Wycherley, Peter Hickman, Wilfred Plant, Edwin Kendrick, Winifred Ind,
Lily Holt, Harry Hewitt, Graham Wycherley, Allen Slater, Joyce Cox, Arthur Pearson, John Thomton, Joseph Cox, Leslie Feeney, Norma Venables, Frank Vale,
Percy Jones, Dorothy Powis, Harold Flavell, Francis Bate, Deryk Vernon,
John Taylor, Edgar Rees, Wilfred Greenway, Kenneth Lane, Raymond Cholmondeley, Maurice Lane, Dorothy Lathe, Wilfred Southall, John Wood, John Haynes, Audrey Smith, Stanley Richards, Wilfred Hopkins, Amy Harris.
The site was purchased in August 1960 and in the following months the architect, Malcolm Upright, and his partner Kenneth Gallimore, were engaged to design the church. From then on many differing plans received careful and lengthy and sometimes passionate consideration. Finally agreement was reached on the design and other requirements. Several tenders were then sent out and a Wolverhampton firm, Biddulph and Thrift, was engaged to build the Church.
Turf cutting took place on 22nd July 1961, performed by three young ladies: Jane Hewitt, Joyce Cox and Norma Venables. Construction of the church building occupied the next twelve months and then, on 18th August 1962, the Rev Leslie Davison, who at that time was the President of the Methodist Conference, conducted the opening services.
THE YEARS BETWEEN
The first Minister was the Rev Deryck N Howarth who moved into the new manse on Parkfield Road. The Rev Bryan Rippin followed him in 1970 and then in 1979 Rev Alan Harvey became Minister until 1987. In 1988 there was a vacancy for the space of a year, ably filled by Sister Kath Hutton.
In 1989 the Rev Peter Russell became the Minister and he served the church until his retirement from the Ministry in 1995. The present Minister is Rev Dr Phillip Rees.
On Sunday 18th August 2002, the Society of St John's celebrated its fortieth anniversary. Rev Bryan Rippin, who is now retired, gave the Sunday morning sermon. This was followed by a sit-down lunch with eighty folk present. The worship for the day ended with a thanksgiving Communion conducted by Rev Dr. Phillip Rees.
The last forty years have seen so many changes. Most of the characters of the opening are no longer with us. They were men and women who worked to create a new beginning in the Blakenhall area. Now, as St John's faces the future, it is recognised that the changing needs of today are very different to those of 1962, with a changing community enlivened by many varied cultures and different faiths; also we perceive the increasing role of youth and the ever widening vision of the world's needs.
So for that future: we'll praise Him for all that is past, and trust Him for all that is to come.
Addendum...
Rev Steve Singleton followed Rev Philip Rees as minister at St. John's and served until 2016. Rev Steve Jackson became minister in September 2016.

I am finishing up some score selection for my choir today. I am constantly struck by how the Holy Spirit moves to help me find exactly what the Lord needs in worship for each week. I don't say this without knowing that there will be work, and sweat, but hopefully no blood, involved in getting these pieces up and ready.
Church choirs go through so much repertoire. I recently counted (because I needed to make some selections). My choir will sing over 40 unique pieces of literature between September and May. Some of this is the weekly worship need, some for festivals, and some for special events and services. But I need to find what music will call to the moment. I am grateful for years of experience, colleagues and friends I can ask for ideas, and a great supportive congregation who loves music.
But no matter what, I am pushed to find great things not just 'cause I need to challenge myself, though that's a good reason. Not just 'cause my choir is bored with our usual selection, really they're not. Not just 'cause the Pastor wants an "upbeat" anthem, a term I loathe (plus my Pastor doesn't use that language). But because this is music for worship. Its place is to support the praise and thanksgiving of a loving and caring God, who, through us, works with those who are in need, those who hunger, those who are heavy laden down with burdens and hurt, and hopes, and fears.
We are coming before the creator of the universe to "Speak, O Lord" through us. We are to speak so that "truth prevail[s] over unbelief." As you embark on the journey of repertoire selection, as you begin to engage with your singers, and your church lifts up its song in praise, take the time to choose the best, most meaningful pieces. It is what you are called to do in the church and in the world.

Before It Can Hope to Fight Militants, Turkey Has Its Own Troubles To Tame
By Peter Kenyon
Published August 22, 2015 at 2:03 PM PDT
TESS VIGELAND, HOST:
Turkey will need to start forming a temporary government next week after politicians failed to agree on a coalition to run parliament. But gridlocked politicians are fast becoming the least of Turkey's worries. Dozens of security forces and hundreds of Kurdish fighters have been killed after the collapse of a two-year ceasefire. Sympathizers of ISIS have named Turkey as their latest target. And on top of all of that, the country's popular Aegean coast is swamped with immigrants desperate to get to Europe. NPR's Peter Kenyon joins us from Istanbul. Hi, Peter.
PETER KENYON, BYLINE: Hi, Tess.
VIGELAND: And not long ago, Turkey was the envy of the region, an economy out-performing most EU countries. This seems like a very swift turn of events.
KENYON: Well, basically, you're looking at a country here awash in crises. The Turkish lira's hitting record lows against the dollar. Every day, the headlines bring a new bad subject to bear. As far as ordinary Turks can tell, their leaders are too busy fighting over power to do much about it.
VIGELAND: And this week, as we mentioned, the Islamic State called on supporters to attack Turkey. There was a new video from them. Are Turks worried about that threat?
KENYON: They are, very much so. No one really knows how many ISIS sympathizers have crossed into Turkey at this point. Turkey analyst Soner Cagaptay at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy says these calls for an attack came after the president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, reached agreement with Washington to let U.S. jets launch air strikes against ISIS from Turkish bases. Here's how he put it.
SONER CAGAPTAY: Unfortunately, I can predict that Turkey could face further ISIS attacks in the future.
VIGELAND: All right. Well, Peter, you are about to begin a reporting trip to southeast Turkey where the resumption of hostilities between the army and Kurdish militants is really being felt most acutely. How did this peace process fall apart?
KENYON: Well, this is something that was once seen as a crowning achievement of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, if he could achieve it, ending these decades-long conflict with the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK. They harbor ambitions of an independent state. But two years of talks have now collapsed. Roadside bombs are killing Turkish soldiers and police, and Turkish security forces say nearly 800 Kurds have been killed in military strikes. That figure is not confirmed, but it's certainly a sign that things have really deteriorated.
VIGELAND: All right. Well, moving on to the next disaster. Turkey also shouldering a huge refugee burden, hosting some two million people fleeing conflicts in Syria, Iraq, elsewhere. And now it's being criticized for not preventing thousands of people from attempting to get to Greece in these small, inflatable boats.
KENYON: Well, it's true, and people are saying they're not doing enough to stop them - that's Turks living on the coast who are saying that and, of course, European leaders. The island of Kos is just a few miles offshore. It's a favorite destination for these migrants. Many Turks have mixed emotions, really, about it. I mean, they're proud of their government's humanitarian generosity hosting all these people, but they're growing increasingly frustrated with some of the fallout.
VIGELAND: Well, Peter, all of this happening as Turkey's ruling party is stumbling at the polls, not able to form a coalition government - you have to wonder what Turks are thinking at this point.
KENYON: Absolutely. It is a big question. The politics are interesting. Analysts say Erdogan is gambling that all these crises will drive voters back to the ruling AK party in the elections this fall. Time will tell if he's right, but the question is what kind of country will be left at that point. I mean, one example, Turkey's supposed to be hosting a G20 summit this November, right there on the migrant-clogged Aegean coast, at a time when the economy's slumping. It's not even clear there'll be a government in place when these dignitaries are due to arrive. Now the Turkish leaders are saying calm down. Things will turn around. It's OK, and Turks are certainly hoping that's the case, but they don't have a lot of confidence right now.
VIGELAND: NPR's Peter Kenyon speaking with us from Istanbul. Thank you.
KENYON: Thanks, Tess. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Q: Hide a button if variable is below a certain amount I'm looking to hide a button if a criteria is not met. As soon as the criteria is met, I would like the button to be visible.
I have tried various things, and the last thing I tried was:

<button id="Stuff">Stuff Button</button>

<script>
  if (data.things >= 10) {
    document.getElementById("Stuff").disabled = false;
  } else {
    document.getElementById("Stuff").disabled = true;
  }
</script>

With the above, the button is always greyed out and never becomes clickable.
Firstly, am I doing something obviously wrong and secondly, is there a better way to go about this?
Many thanks
L Nomran

A: I'm assuming that there is working code for checking when data.things changes, and not just the code you posted. Just add the following CSS code, selecting the button #Stuff when it's disabled.
Also, you don't need an if statement.
#Stuff[disabled] {
  display: none;
}

<button id="Stuff">Stuff Button</button>

<script>
    document.getElementById("Stuff").disabled = data.things < 10;

How to Win a "Probation Violation Hearing" in Colorado
Colorado Legal Defense Group
How to Win a Probation Violation Hearing
If you are reported for violating the terms of probation, the court will hold a hearing to determine if probation should be taken away and you should be sent to jail. If you win your probation violation hearing, you can continue to avoid jail time if you follow the conditions of probation. In this article, our Colorado criminal defense lawyers will address:
1. What is a "probation violation hearing" in Colorado?
2. Who reports a probation violation?
3. What are common probation violations reported in Colorado?
3.1. General Probation Conditions
3.2. Domestic Violence Convictions
3.3. Probation Requiring Drug Treatment
3.4. Probation for Defendants Under the Age of 18
4. What is the court process for a probation violation hearing?
5. What is the standard of proof in a probation violation hearing?
5.1. How does a prosecutor prove a probation violation?
5.2. What evidence can the prosecutor use to show I violated probation?
5.3. How can I defend against a probation violation?
6. How does the judge decide whether I violated probation or not?
7. What happens if I lose a probation violation hearing?
8. Can you appeal a probation violation decision?
If you are reported for violating the terms of probation, the court will hold a hearing to determine if probation should be taken away and you should be sent to jail.
A probation violation hearing is a court hearing to determine if your probation should be
revoked,
remain in place, or
subject to different conditions on your release.
Probation in Colorado is an alternative to jail. Anyone in Colorado who is convicted of an offense (other than a Colorado class 1 felony or a Colorado class 2 petty offense) is eligible to apply for probation, with some exceptions.1
If probation is granted, you can avoid jail or prison time as long as you follow the conditions ordered by the court. The terms and conditions will depend on a number of factors, including:
The seriousness of the offense
Nature of the crime
Criminal history
The financial impact of the crime
Types of victims involved 2
The Colorado Probation Department (CPD) in your county will be in charge of supervising you during your time on probation. If you violate the conditions of your probation, fail to report for probation, or are arrested for another crime, you may have a probation violation hearing to determine whether your probation should be revoked and you'll be sent to jail.
In most cases, it is the probation officer (P.O.) that reports the violation to the court. Depending on the type of violation, the P.O. may simply talk to the individual about a minor violation, issue a summons, or have the individual arrested and taken to court.
The prosecutor may then file a "Motion to Revoke Probation" (MRP) for violating the terms of probation.
Probation violations can also be reported to the P.O. by anyone aware of the violation, such as an employer or the victim of a crime. For example:
Example: Charlie is on probation after a domestic violence assault on his ex-girlfriend, Becky. As part of Charlie's probationary conditions, Charlie is not supposed to contact Becky. While on probation, Charlie visit's Becky's workplace to say he is sorry for what happened. Becky reports Charlie's visit, which is in violation of his probationary conditions.
There are many types of probationary conditions. The court can impose any conditions in its discretion that the court deems "reasonably necessary to ensure the defendant will lead a law-abiding life and to assist the defendant in doing so."3
When the defendant is granted probation, he or she will be given a written statement detailing the probation conditions. This statement should explicitly set forth the probationary conditions so the defendant understands what type of actions are prohibited.4
Probationary conditions depend on a number of factors, depending on the defendant's criminal history and the type of crime involved. However, every sentence shall contain the explicit condition that the defendant:
Not commit another offense during the probationary period;
Pay restitution to the victim(s);
Not harass, intimidate, or tamper with any victim or prosecution witness;
Comply with substance abuse testing and treatment; and
Comply with any court orders regarding the treatment of sex offender registration.5
There are many other general probationary conditions the court can impose. These include:
Working faithfully at a suitable employment.
Pursuing a course of study or vocational training.
Undergo available medical or psychiatric treatment and remain in a specified institution if required for that purpose.
Participate in restorative justice practices, like community service or victim/offender mediation.
Financially support dependents and meet other family responsibilities.
Pay costs of the court proceedings and supervision.
Pay any fines or fees imposed by the court.
Repay reward paid by a crime stopper organization.
Refrain from possessing a firearm or other dangerous weapon.
Refrain from excessive use of alcohol or any unlawful use of controlled substances.
Report to a CPC probation officer (PO) as directed by the court or the officer.
Permit the PO to visit the defendant at reasonable times at the defendant's home and elsewhere.
Remain within the jurisdiction of the court, unless granted permission to leave.
Answer all reasonable inquiries by the PO.
Promptly notify the PO of any change in address or employment.
Be subject to home detention.
Be subject to electronic or global position monitoring.678
It's also a common requirement to reside only in the county where the conviction and probation are based. However, it can be possible to get probation transferred to and from Colorado and another state.
In cases of domestic violence, including stalking or harassment, the court can impose additional conditions of probation. These terms include:
Comply with existing court orders regarding family support;
Comply with any existing court orders concerning a proceeding to determine paternity, custody, the allocation of decision-making responsibility, parenting time, or support;
Comply with the terms of any protection order in effect against the defendant during the probationary period;
Refrain from possessing a firearm, destructive device, or other dangerous weapon, unless granted written permission by the court or PO.9
The court can include, as a condition of probation, a requirement that the individual participate in a substance abuse treatment program. If the substance abuse assessment determines the individual needs residential treatment, the court can make residential drug treatment a condition required by the court.10
In some cases, there is a medical marijuana exemption for the general probationary condition against the use or possession of drugs. The possession or use of legal medical marijuana may not necessarily be considered an offense that constitutes a violation of the probationary terms.11
Some defendants under the age of 18 are tried and convicted as adults. There may be special probationary conditions for defendants who are under 18, including the requirement to attend school or an educational program or to work towards a high school diploma or equivalency examination.12
If you violate any of the terms of your probationary release, you may be arrested on a "no bond" warrant and taken into custody. The prosecutor will then file a "Motion to Revoke Probation" (MRP) for violating the terms of probation. This motion will be heard before the court in a probation violation hearing.
You have the right to an attorney during your probation violation hearing. A violation hearing will be like a mini-trial before a judge instead of a jury. The prosecutor will present evidence of a violation and your attorney will have a chance to respond to the allegations. The judge will then make a determination as to whether:
Your probation should be revoked and you will be returned to custody to serve out your sentence.
The motion will be denied and you will continue the terms of your probation.
You will continue probation but the judge will change terms of your or add additional conditions and restrictions.
The court process for a probation revocation hearing is set out in C.S.R. 16-11-206. At the first appearance, the court shall advise the probationer of their rights, including that there is no right to trial by jury.13
The court will advise the probationer of the charges against him or her and the possible penalties, requiring the probationer to plead guilty or not guilty.14
The standard of proof is the level of evidence required to establish proof in a criminal case. For a criminal conviction, the standard of proof is generally "beyond a reasonable doubt." Beyond a reasonable doubt means there is no "doubt based upon reason and common sense which arises from a fair and rational consideration of all the evidence, or the lack of evidence."15
However, the standard of proof in a probation violation hearing may be lower than "beyond a reasonable doubt." In most cases, the standard of proof in a probation violation hearing is "by a preponderance of the evidence." If the judge is reasonably satisfied that the individual violated the probational conditions based on the evidence presented, the judge can grant the motion to revoke probation.
The prosecutor will generally base his or her case on the PO's violation complaint, report, and memorandum. The prosecutor will present evidence of the probational violation, including any criminal records or testimony.
The prosecution has the burden of establishing that the individual violated a condition of probation.16
For violations of failure to pay court-ordered compensation, costs, or fees, evidence of the failure to pay is "prima facie" evidence of a violation.17
If the individual is accused of committing another crime while on probation, that offense has to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. However, the court can wait and continue the revocation hearing until after the criminal proceeding is finished.18
The evidence that can be presented in a probation violation hearing is much broader than the evidence available in a criminal case. In a revocation hearing, the court can consider any evidence with probative value, "regardless of its admissibility under the exclusionary rules of evidence if the defendant is accorded a fair opportunity to rebut hearsay evidence."19
For example, many types of evidence may not be admissible in a criminal court that are admissible in a violation hearing. This includes "hearsay," or most out-of-court statements. In a probation violation hearing, hearsay evidence is admissible, as long as the individual has the chance to respond to the evidence.
In addition, unlike in a criminal trial, your right to remain silent under the 5th Amendment can be used against you. Refusing to answer questions, refusing to submit to chemical tests, or refusing to admit activity can be used as evidence against you in a probation violation hearing.
The prosecutor can present almost any type of evidence that would tend to show you were in violation of probation. This could include:
Testimony by someone that you were involved in criminal activity;
Video or photo evidence showing you in a prohibited location;
Court records showing a violation;
Drug treatment facility records showing you did not appear for treatment;
Failed drug test results;
Probation officer statement that you did not report as required;
Criminal arrest records;
Statement by an employer that you did not appear for work; or
Any other evidence of probative value.
Your attorney can use a number of tools to defend you in a probation violation hearing. As the defendant, it is the prosecutor who has the burden of proof. You do not necessarily have to prove you are innocent, only to show that the prosecutor has failed to prove his or her case by a preponderance of the evidence.20
In most cases, your defense can include a response to the evidence presented by the prosecutor. For example, your defense attorney can argue the witness statements were not reliable, there was a mistake in the identification of someone else, or that the drug test results were tainted or unreliable.
In addition, you can admit the violation and your defense attorney can negotiate to let you remain free from incarceration. This could include apologizing for a minor violation and showing that you have taken steps to make sure this type of violation will not occur in the future.
After considering all the evidence and arguments, the judge will make a determination whether to grant the motion to revoke probation or deny the motion. The judge can also release you on probation on condition of additional terms and requirements.
The court will issue a decision within seven (7) days after the hearing to either revoke or continue probation.21
If the judge decides that you violated probation, the court shall either revoke or continue the probation. If the judge revokes your probation, the court can then impose any sentence or grant any probationary terms which might have been originally imposed.2223
You can appeal the court's decision to revoke probation. However, the grounds for an appeal are very limited. This generally requires some procedural violation. If you believe your probation was unjustly revoked, talk to an attorney as soon as possible about your options.

C.R.S. 18-1.3-202 Probationary power of court ("(1) When it appears to the satisfaction of the court that the ends of justice and the best interest of the public, as well as the defendant, will be served thereby, the court may grant the defendant probation for such period and upon such terms and conditions as it deems best. The length of probation shall be subject to the discretion of the court and may exceed the maximum period of incarceration authorized for the classification of the offense of which the defendant is convicted but shall not exceed five years for any misdemeanor or petty offense.")
C.R.S. 18-1.3-204 Conditions of probation ("(1)(a) The conditions of probation shall be such as the court in its discretion deems reasonably necessary to ensure that the defendant will lead a law-abiding life and to assist the defendant in doing so. The court shall provide as explicit conditions of every sentence to probation that the defendant not commit another offense during the period for which the sentence remains subject to revocation, that the defendant make restitution pursuant to part 6 of this article and article 18.5 of title 16, C.R.S., that the defendant comply with any court orders regarding substance abuse testing and treatment issued pursuant to sections 18-1.3-209 and 18-1.3-211 and article 11.5 of title 16, C.R.S., and that the defendant comply with any court orders regarding the treatment of sex offenders issued pursuant to article 11.7 of title 16, C.R.S. The court shall provide as an explicit condition of every sentence to probation that the defendant not harass, molest, intimidate, retaliate against, or tamper with the victim of or any prosecution witnesses to the crime, unless the court makes written findings that such condition is not necessary.")
C.R.S. 18-1.3-204 Conditions of probation ("(3) When a defendant is granted probation, he or she shall be given a written statement explicitly setting forth the conditions on which he or she is being released.")
C.R.S. 18-1.3-204, see footnote 3 above.
C.R.S. 18-1.3-204 Conditions of probation ("(2)(a) When granting probation, the court may, as a condition of probation, require that the defendant: (I) Work faithfully at a suitable employment or faithfully pursue a course of study or of vocational training that will equip the defendant for suitable employment; (II) Undergo available medical or psychiatric treatment and remain in a specified institution if required for that purpose. In any case where inpatient psychiatric treatment is indicated, the court shall proceed in accordance with article 65 of title 27, C.R.S., and require the defendant to comply with the recommendation of the professional person in charge of the evaluation required pursuant to section 27-65-105 or 27-65-106, C.R.S. (III) Attend or reside in a facility established for the instruction, recreation, or residence of persons on probation; (III.5) Participate in restorative justice practices, as defined in section 18-1-901 (3)(o.5), if available in the jurisdiction, and the defendant is determined suitable by a designated restorative justice practices facilitator. If a defendant wants to participate in restorative justice practices, the defendant must make the request to the district attorney or the law enforcement agency administering the program and may not make the request to the victim. If requested by the defendant, district attorney, or law enforcement agency, a victim-offender conference may only be conducted after the victim is consulted by the district attorney and offered the opportunity to participate or submit a victim impact statement. If a victim elects not to attend, a victim offender conference may be held with a suitable victim surrogate or victim advocate, and the victim may submit a victim-impact statement. To be eligible for restorative justice practices, the defendant shall not have been convicted of unlawful sexual behavior as defined in section 16-22-102 (9), C.R.S., a crime in which the underlying factual basis involves domestic violence, as defined in section 18-6-800.3 (1), stalking as defined in section 18-3-602, or violation of a protection order as defined in section 18-6-803.5. Any statements made during a restorative justice conference shall be confidential and shall not be used as a basis for charging or prosecuting the defendant unless the defendant commits a chargeable offense during the conference. Failure to complete the requirements arising from a restorative justice conference may be considered a violation of probation. Nothing in this subparagraph (III.5) shall be construed to require a victim to participate in restorative justice practices or a restorative justice victim-offender conference. (IV) Support the defendant's dependents and meet other family responsibilities, including arranging and fulfilling a payment plan for current child support, child support arrearages, and child support debt due under a court or administrative order through any delegate child support enforcement unit that may have a child support case with the defendant; (V) Pay reasonable costs of the court proceedings or costs of supervision of probation, or both. The probation supervision fee shall be fifty dollars per month for the length of ordered probation. Notwithstanding the amount specified in this subparagraph (V), the court may lower the costs of supervision of probation to an amount the defendant will be able to pay. The court shall fix the manner of performance for payment of the fee. If the defendant receives probation services from a private provider, the court shall order the defendant to pay the probation supervision fee directly to the provider. The fee shall be imposed for the length of ordered probation.")
C.R.S. 18-1.3-204 Conditions of probation ("(2)(a) When granting probation, the court may, as a condition of probation, require that the defendant: (VI) Pay any fines or fees imposed by the court; (VI.5) Repay all or part of any reward paid by a crime stopper organization that led to the defendant's arrest and conviction in accordance with article 15.7 of title 16, C.R.S.; (VII) Refrain from possessing a firearm, destructive device, or other dangerous weapon unless granted written permission by the court or probation officer; (VIII) Refrain from excessive use of alcohol or any unlawful use of controlled substances, as defined in section 18-18-102 (5), or of any other dangerous or abusable drug without a prescription; except that the court shall not, as a condition of probation, prohibit the possession or use of medical marijuana, as authorized pursuant to section 14 of article XVIII of the state constitution, unless: (A) The defendant is sentenced to probation for conviction of a crime under article 43.3 of title 12, C.R.S.; or (B) The court determines, based on any material evidence, that a prohibition against the possession or use of medical marijuana is necessary and appropriate to accomplish the goals of sentencing as stated in section 18-1-102.5; (IX) Report to a probation officer at reasonable times as directed by the court or the probation officer; (X) Permit the probation officer to visit the defendant at reasonable times at the defendant's home and elsewhere.")

C.R.S. 18-1.3-204 Conditions of probation in domestic violence cases ("(2)(b) When granting probation, in addition to the consideration of the provisions set forth in paragraph (a) of this subsection (2), the court shall order as a condition of probation in cases in which the defendant was convicted of a crime, the underlying factual basis of which included an act of domestic violence, as defined in section 18-6-800.3 (1), that the defendant: (I) Comply with existing court orders regarding family support; (II) Comply with any existing court orders concerning a proceeding to determine paternity, custody, the allocation of decision-making responsibility, parenting time, or support; (III) Comply with the terms of any protection order in effect against the defendant during the probation period; (IV) Refrain from possessing a firearm, destructive device, or other dangerous weapon, unless granted written permission by the court or probation officer which shall not be granted in such domestic violence cases unless: (A) It is required by the defendant's employment; and (B) The court finds that the defendant's possession of the weapon does not endanger the victim or the victim's children; and (C) The weapon is stored away from the home and the yard surrounding the home.")
C.R.S. 18-1.3-204 Conditions of probation related to drug treatment ("(2.2) When granting probation, the court may include as a condition of probation a requirement that the defendant participate in drug treatment.

C.R.S. 18-1.3-204 Conditions of probation ("(1)(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subsection (1), unless the defendant is sentenced to probation for a conviction of a crime under article 43.3 of title 12, C.R.S., the possession or use of medical marijuana, as authorized pursuant to section 14 of article XVIII of the state constitution, shall not be considered another offense such that its use constitutes a violation of the terms of probation.")
C.R.S. 18-1.3-204 Conditions of probation for under 18 ("(2.3) (a) When granting probation, the court may, as a condition of probation, require any defendant who is less than eighteen years of age at the time of sentencing to attend school or an educational program or to work toward the attainment of a high school diploma or the successful completion of a high school equivalency examination, as that term is defined in section 22-33-102 (8.5), C.R.S.; except that the court shall not require any such juvenile to attend a school from which he or she has been expelled without the prior approval of that school's local board of education. (b) Following specification of the terms and conditions of probation for a defendant who is less than eighteen years of age at the time of sentencing, where the conditions of probation include the requirement that the defendant attend school, the court shall notify the school district in which the defendant will be enrolled of such requirement.
C.R.S. 16-11-206 Revocation hearing. ("(1) At the first appearance of the probationer in court or at the commencement of the hearing, whichever is first in time, the court shall advise the probationer as provided in section 16-7-207 insofar as such matters are applicable; except that there is no right to a trial by jury in proceedings for revocation of probation.")
C.R.S. 16-11-206 Revocation hearing. ("(2) At or prior to the commencement of the hearing, the court shall advise the probationer of the charges against him and the possible penalties therefor and shall require the probationer to plead guilty or not guilty.")
Colorado Model Jury Instructions - Criminal (2017) E:03 Presumption of Innocence, burden of proof, and reasonable doubt ("The burden of proof is upon the prosecution to prove to the satisfaction of the jury beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of all of the elements necessary to constitute the crime charged. Reasonable doubt means a doubt based upon reason and common sense which arises from a fair and rational consideration of all of the evidence, or the lack of evidence, in the case. It is a doubt which is not a vague, speculative or imaginary doubt, but such a doubt as would cause reasonable people to hesitate to act in matters of importance to themselves.")
C.R.S. 16-11-206 Revocation hearing. ("(3) At the hearing, the prosecution has the burden of establishing by a preponderance of the evidence the violation of a condition of probation; except that the commission of a criminal offense must be established beyond a reasonable doubt unless the probationer has been convicted thereof in a criminal proceeding. When, in a revocation hearing, the alleged violation of a condition is the probationer's failure to pay court-ordered compensation to appointed counsel, probation fees, court costs, restitution, or reparations, evidence of the failure to pay shall constitute prima facie evidence of a violation. The court may, when it appears that the alleged violation of conditions of probation consists of an offense with which the probationer is charged in a criminal proceeding then pending, continue the probation revocation hearing until the termination of the criminal proceeding. Any evidence having probative value shall be received regardless of its admissibility under the exclusionary rules of evidence if the defendant is accorded a fair opportunity to rebut hearsay evidence.")
C.R.S. 16-11-206 Revocation hearing. ("(5) If the court determines that a violation of a condition of probation has been committed, it shall, within seven days after the said hearing, either revoke or continue the probation. If probation is revoked, the court may then impose any sentence or grant any probation pursuant to the provisions of this part 2 which might originally have been imposed or granted.")
C.R.S. 18-1.3-204 Conditions of probation ("(4)(a) For good cause shown and after notice to the defendant, the district attorney, and the probation officer, and after a hearing if the defendant or the district attorney requests it, the judge may reduce or increase the term of probation or alter the conditions or impose new conditions.")
