Также существуют годовые собрания для молодых квакеров, которые называются молодежными годовыми собраниями.

Общее описание

Встречи годового собрания – это время, когда Друзей, проживающие на обширной географической территории, съезжаются вместе для совместного богослужения и «поиска Божественного водительства» с целью принятия решений по вопросам, стоящим перед Друзьями этого региона. Годовые собрания издают материалы, в которых описываются принципы управления, организационные процессы и компактно содержатся выражения, передающие веру Друзей, входящих в данное собрание. Получившиеся таким образом книги называются «Вера и практика» или «Книга дисциплины».

Происхождение

Как и многие другие стороны квакерства, организационное построение в виде годовых собраний возникало постепенно. Английские Друзья начали проводить собрания, начиная с 1650-х годов, вскоре после своего появления и большого численного роста. Годовое собрание в Великобритании, Британское годовое собрание (первоначально Лондонское годовое собрание), считает временем своего официального основания 1668 год. Годовое собрание Новой Англии было основано в 1661 году. В ранние годы своего существования назначением годовых собраний было получать ответы на вопросы, которые они отправляли квартальным собраниям, читать послания от путешествующих Друзей и искать Божье водительство для своей деятельности. Они также предлагали и планировали создание различных квакерских учреждений, например, школ.

По мере того как Религиозное общество Друзей росло и распространялось по всему миру, создавались новые годовые собрания. Косвенное влияние одних собраний на другие остается, однако каждое годовых собраний является автономным.

Процедура принятия решений

Заседание годового собрания, как и всех квакерских деловых собраний, считается временем богослужения и одновременно решения деловых вопросов. После представления и объяснения вопроса из повестки дня присутствующие Друзья в молчании прислушиваются к своему внутреннему водительству Бога. Те, кто чувствует водительство, делятся своими озарениями, остальные слушают. В конце концов начинает проясняться «суть собрания». Клерк собрания – своего рода секретарь – или записывающий клерк – человек, который ведет протокол – пытаются сформулировать протокольные записи, отражающие суть собрания. Может потребоваться дальнейшее обсуждение. Когда становится ясно, что найдено общее согласие, суть собрания заносится в протокол. Некоторые из присутствующих на собрании Друзей могут иметь замечания по обсуждаемому вопросу, но предпочитают полагаться на других. Друзья верят и надеются, что протокольная запись – это Божья воля по данному вопросу. Однако среди Друзей ничто не считается постоянным и неизменным законом, каждый вопрос открыт для изменений в будущем.

Перед закрытием годового собрания Друзья пишут послание другим Друзьям по всему миру. Существует обычай во время сессий годового собрания читать избранные места из посланий, которые данное собрание получило от других квакерских организаций.
Все Друзья, принадлежащие к собранию-учредителю, являются членами соответствующего годового собрания и могут присутствовать и принимать участие в его сессиях на основе равенства – в Религиозном обществе Друзей нет иерархии. Многие конкретные вопросы, вызывающие озабоченность квакеров, рассматриваются комитетами, назначенными годовыми собраниями.

Названия

Годовые собрания называются согласно местам, где они встречаются – странам (например, Канадское годовое собрание), регионам страны (например, Годовое собрание Новой Англии), штатам (например, Годовое собрание Индианы) или большим городам, которые служат центрами активности (например, Филадельфийское Годовое собрание). Полное название годового собрания обычно включает слова «Религиозного общества Друзей» (например, Нью-Йоркское Годовое собрание Религиозного общества Друзей), однако не у всех (например, Северное Годовое собрание).

Объединения

Многие годовые собрания являются членами более крупных объединений. В Соединенных Штатах и в некоторых других странах действует три основных объединения Друзей – Всеобщая конференция Друзей, Объединенное собрание Друзей и Евангелические церкви Друзей. Самое широкое объединение, в котором пересекаются теологические, организационные и национальные направления и происходит общение и сотрудничество различных групп – это Всемирный консультативный комитет Друзей.

Ежегодные мероприятия


These are higher, yes. We have all played over the last few months and I assume you all have gotten stronger. Ex-KoL members who do not meet requirements may still join but are strongly encouraged to meet one of the three requirements ASAP.
1) All leadership will be respected. We are working harder than you in order to maintain a fun, ever-growing, ever-strengthening group of players. If you have a problem, please send a PM to us on the forums or in-game.
2) Your other clan members will be respected. Like you, they are here to have fun in events or hanging out in clan chat. Do not overstep the boundaries of casual teasing into malicious or hurtful statements.
3) If at all possible, try to spend your game time within our clan world, World 76. If you need to switch worlds because an area is busy, that is fine. We will also switch to event-themed worlds when necessary (Pest Control, Clan Wars, etc).
4) If at all possible, when you log onto Runescape, join Great Dane's clan chat. That way we all continue to build friendships in a group-centered environment.
5) When doing a team combat-based event such as Clan Wars or PKing, listen to the event leader. Do not talk! Listen to the name or level called and pile.
6) The ranking system will be determined by the leadership. All clan members will be given two stripes (corporal) by default. All new members will be given one stripe (recruit). Members who go above and beyond whether in chat, forums, or events will get three stripes (sergeant) or a bronze star (lieutennant). Silver and Gold stars will be reserved for leadership. DO NOT ASK FOR A BUMP IN RANK. The rankings really don't mean all that much anyway.
7) Multi-clanning is not allowed.
These rules will be expanded as necessary.

A current collaboration with actress and theatre maker Imogen Butler-Cole (THE WHAT WORKS). Tara has been working with Imogen since the birth of her solo show, Foreign Body. Now working with pianist and sound artist Filipe Sousa, together they are designing the sound and composition for the show.
Foreign Body is the beautifully crafted debut solo show about hope, healing and forgiveness after sexual assault. Told from a unique and challenging perspective, using a charged combination of verbatim and physical theatre, Foreign Body is a brave, liberating and life affirming story.
The show has be performed at Off Beat Festival, Oxford and RADA Festival, London in June 2016.
The development of Foreign Body has been supported by Arts Council England, Rich Mix and Pleasance London.
This project aims to destigmatise dialogue around sexual violence and we will be offering opportunities for audience members to explore the play's themes through Q&As that will accompany the show.
Initially awarded a small development grant to perform a scratch at Rich Mix as part of We Share on 19th July 2014, the project then received Arts Council funding for further Research & Development in October 2014, also supported by Rich Mix.
Inspired by Cassandra, the Greek prophet damned never to be believed because she refused Apollo's sexual advances, this ritual theatre piece addresses the voicelessness of women around sexual violence. Our belief is that in uniting without blame men and women can move forward together into a safer, more tender world.

Queen Village, also known as Southwark, is a neighborhood in Central Philadelphia. Stretching from Front Street to 6th Street and from South Street to Washington Avenue, Queen Village was at the center of the commercial and ship building insdustries that made Philadelphia's seaport one of the biggest in the young Americas colonies. Like other South Philadelphia neighborhoods, Queen Village was originally settled by the Swedes, and their influence in the area can still be seen today in street names such as Swanson, Christian, and Queen. While Queen Village is not very historically renowned, as seen etched into the exterior of a building "ON THIS SITE IN 1879, NOTHING HAPPENED!", the area has recently seen an interest in the preservation of historical buildings. The area boasts a plethora of architectural diversity featuring houses from the 18th to 21st centuries. Today the community sits in an ideal part of town, sandwiched between cultural hotspots such as Independence Hall and the Delaware River Front. The area also features great shopping and food locations on the historic and scenic South Street.

A small feature quietly added to the service overnight, spotted by 9to5Mac, now allows you to easily restore items that were deleted or lost.
The option is hidden under 'advanced' in the settings area of iCloud.com. From there, you can restore files deleted from iCloud drive in the last 30 days, along with any deleted calendars or contacts.
It's a small tweak, but a welcome one for anyone who's been burned (like me) by accidentally deleting a contact or files disappearing. I'm hopeful the dialogue will make its way to the Mac desktop so it's easier to do restores directly.

Teen group will hand out literature at Seaside…
Teen group will hand out literature at Seaside drunken driver checkpoint
By Andre Briscoe |
PUBLISHED: December 18, 2007 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 12, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
If you want to drink and drive this weekend, you might have more to worry about than just the police.
On Friday, officers will be checking for drunken drivers at Alhambra Street and Broadway Avenue. This year they will be helped by the Safe Teens Empowerment Project"s student council leaders. The teen leaders will pass out literature outlining the devastation that driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can cause.
Officer Fred Carlin said the teens will be doing a service to the community.
"It shows that they care about the (consequences) of drinking and driving," said Carlin. "It will be good for them to see what happens to those who are arrested for drunken driving."
The checkpoint will begin at 7:30 p.m. and end at 2 a.m. Saturday. Every driver who passes through the checkpoint will be handed information detailing the costs associated with driving drunk.
The students were hired earlier this year as the first student council leaders for the Sun Street Center project in Seaside. The information will be provided in English and Spanish, said Kathryn Badon, a prevention coordinator with the center.
"Some of (the teen leaders) will be driving next year, and I really want to emphasize to them that they shouldn"t be drinking and driving," said Badon. "They should never drive in a car with someone who has been drinking. It is the number-one killer of teens."
The information the leaders will distribute should be sobering news to those tempted to get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol, said Badon: First-time drunken- driving offenders can expect to pay more than $5,000 in legal fees and insurance fee increases. Multiple offenders can expect to pay more than $10,000 and spend as much as two years in prison.
In contrast, it only costs about $10 for a cab ride home, and 25 and 40 cents to call for a ride home, said Badon.
The teens will provide alternatives to drinking by passing out recipes to make nonalcoholic drinks.
"I"m excited to see how people are going to act when they see us," said 15-year-old teen leader Beatriz Diaz. "Hopefully, there will be nobody who gets arrested. But if there are, then we will be there to talk with them if they want us to."
DeSean Fullwood, 14, a Seaside High School student and the newest teen leader, said he has already learned that a drunken driving conviction can seriously damage a person"s reputation.
"I think I"m going to learn a lot about drunk driving and how it hurts people," said Fullwood. "When people know you have a driving (conviction) they are probably not going to trust you to drive or do anything else. I"ve already learned that a lot of people that drink and drive get seriously hurt or killed. It also messes up your mind."
Teen leader Joshua Cunningham, 15, said the team"s efforts will make students safer.
"It"s not worth it to drink and drive," said Cunningham. "It"s a bad choice that a lot of people make."
The checkpoint program is one of several the teens will be involved in this year and next to help keep other youths from using drugs and alcohol. The leaders pass on what they"ve learned to their peers during presentations to middle and high school students in Seaside.
The leaders will participate in the Safe Schools Ambassador program, a Monterey Peninsula Unified School District peer-to-peer conflict resolution effort, and work in a decoy program with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and local law enforcement agencies. The group also will take part in planning a program simulating a fatal car crash, called "Every 15 Minutes."

Dr. Laurie Rauch
Dr. Laurie Rauch, PHD
Dr. Laurie Rauch works as a neurobiologist in Exercise Science and Sports Medicine at the University of Cape Town specializing in research on the Autonomic Nervous System, brain function and biofeedback. He has published articles and attended international conferences about his research on the motivated brain. (Google Scholar Citations)
Laurie gained unique insights into brain function after he was knocked by a drunken container truck driver while out cycle training for SA Triathlon Champs. He sustained severe brain and spinal cord injuries and lost his right leg above the knee.
Ten years after his accident and after training for a full year, Laurie finished the Argus Tour, a 109 km cycling race around the Cape Peninsula. Given the extent of his injuries, his biggest hurdle during training was coping with the stress his damaged body caused him, the so called fight or flight response. However, Laurie considers cycle racing to be much less daunting than learning to walk with a prosthetic leg having brain and spinal cord injuries and severely weakened muscles just after the accident.

When does palliative care begin?

About the Author :: Philip K. Dick
Philip Kindred Dick (1928–1982) was an American novelist and short story writer whose published work during his lifetime was almost entirely in the science fiction genre. Dick explored sociological, political and metaphysical themes in novels dominated by monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and altered states. In his later works, Dick's thematic focus strongly reflected his personal interest in metaphysics and theology. He often drew upon his own life experiences and addressed the nature of drug use, paranoia and schizophrenia, and transcendental experiences in novels such as A Scanner Darkly.
The novel The Man in the High Castle bridged the genres of alternate history and science fiction, earning Dick ... (more)
a Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1963. Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said, a novel about a celebrity who awakens in a parallel universe where he is unknown, won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for best novel in 1975. "In my writing I even question the universe; I wonder out loud if it is real, and I wonder out loud if all of us are real." Dick referred to himself as a "fictionalizing philosopher."
In addition to thirty-six novels, Dick wrote approximately 121 short stories, many of which appeared in science fiction magazines. Although Dick spent most of his career as a writer in near-poverty, nine of his stories have been adapted into popular films since his death, including Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly and Minority Report. In 2005, Time magazine named Ubik one of the one hundred greatest English-language novels published since 1923. In 2007, Dick became the first science fiction writer to be included in The Library of America series.

Timing of Flu in HIV Patients Vaccinated Early
SAN DIEGO – Past research has shown that patients with HIV infection vaccinated early in the flu season are generally more likely to contract influenza or influenza-like illness (ILI), compared with those receiving late vaccination.
The reason likely is that antibody titers wane over time, especially among individuals with HIV infection, according to a study published in HIV Medicine, which noted that it is less clear, however, if the timing of influenza vaccination within the flu season affects the probability of an infection later during that season.1
To help answer that question, a study team led by VA San Diego Healthcare System researchers sought to determine if there is a relationship between the timing of influenza vaccination and incidence of influenza or influenza-like illness (ILI) in patients with HIV infection.
To do that, they conducted a retrospective cohort study of HIV-infected patients in care at the VA San Diego Healthcare System from Sept. 1, 2005, to May 31, 2013. Results indicate that patients who received influenza vaccine early in the season were more likely to contract influenza or ILI than patients who were vaccinated late, and vaccinated patients who developed influenza or ILI were more likely to do so later in the season.
"HIV-infected patients vaccinated early in the flu season were more likely to contract influenza or ILI than those vaccinated later in the season," study authors concluded.

Browser extensions (Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera) to display GitHub code in tree format. Useful for developers who frequently read source in GitHub and do not want to download or checkout too many repositories. Features:

* Easy-to-navigate code tree like IDEs
* Fast browsing with pjax
* Customizable hotkey
* Support private repositories (require [personal access token](#github-api-rate-limit))

## Install on Chrome
* Download and install [Octotree](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/octotree/bkhaagjahfmjljalopjnoealnfndnagc) from the Chrome store
* Navigate to any GitHub project (or just refresh this page as an example)
* The code tree should show on the left-hand side of the screen

## Install on Firefox, Safari and Opera
You can just install the prebuilt extensions located in the [dist](https://github.com/buunguyen/octotree/tree/master/dist) folder. For security reason, be sure to install from this location only.

* Firefox: drag `octotree.xpi` to the browser and follow the instructions
* Safari: drag `octotree.safariextz` to the browser and follow the instructions
* Opera: drag `octotree.nex` to the browser and follow the instructions

## GitHub API Rate Limit
Octotree uses [GitHub API](https://developer.github.com/v3/) to retrieve repository metadata. By default, it makes unauthenticated requests to the GitHub API. However, there are two situations when requests must be authenticated:

* You access a private repository
* You exceed the [rate limit of unauthenticated requests](https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting)

When that happens, Octotree shows the screen below to ask for your [GitHub personal access token](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use). If you don't already have one, [create one](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new), then copy and paste it into the textbox. Note that the minimal scopes that should be granted are `public_repo` and `repo` (if you need access to private repositories).

![Enter personal access token](docs/token.png)

Alternatively, you can manually enter or update the token by following these steps:

* Navigate to any GitHub page
* Open the Chrome (or Safari, Firefox) developer console
* Execute the following line:
```javascript
localStorage.setItem('octotree.github_access_token', 'REPLACE WITH TOKEN')
```

## Changelog
### [v1.3](https://github.com/buunguyen/octotree/issues?labels=&milestone=3&page=1&state=closed)
* Setting panel allowing:
 * Changing access token
 * Changing hotkeys
 * Changing sidebar default visibility
 * Changing folder collapsing option
* Sidebar appears better in large monitors
* More responsive in big repositories
* And bug fixes

### [v1.2](https://github.com/buunguyen/octotree/issues?labels=&milestone=1&page=1&state=closed)
* Hide sidebar by default (upon many user requests)
* Hotkey (`cmd+b`, `ctrl+b`) to toggle sidebar
* Sidebar is now resizable
* Support rendering submodules
* Reflect GitHub selection to Octotree
* New sidebar header and progress indicator
* And bug fixes

### [v1.1](https://github.com/buunguyen/octotree/issues?labels=&milestone=2&page=1&state=closed)
* New UI that blends better with GitHub!

We were saddened to learn recently of the death of Jeremy Stone '57, a visionary and tireless advocate for peace and our Peace and Conflict Studies Program.
He spoke about Catalytic Diplomacy for Peace on campus in April 2016, and you can watch a video recording of the talk he gave on our blog.
The New York Times printed his obituary.
A few years ago, I was looking for documentation of Martin Luther King Jr. and the early days of the Civil Rights Movement in the records of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends. It seemed like something for the Race Relations Committee to handle, but there was nothing there. A little more digging located the records I was seeking in the Peace Committee and more specifically in a subcommittee on non-violence.
— Christopher Densmore, Curator, Friends Historical Library.
This talk will consider the crucial role that architecture and planning played in the broader battles for justice and equality that defined the Civil Rights Movement. More than a site in which this social movement unfolded, the built environment also served as a key medium through which activists pursued their vision of a better world. Specifically, the talk will focus on examples from Harlem, New York, where residents experimented ambitiously with design and construction in order to gain control over the future of their community.
All are welcome; you do not need to be enrolled in the PJHR Concentration to attend this event.


As ISO 9001 continues to evolve into a more holistic management system standard it only makes sense that higher-level business practices be adopted and included as requirements within the standard. While this a good first step by the ISO committees, I believe that it still falls short of being a truly effective set of strategic planning requirements. As written, the ISO 9001 standard requires organizations to analyze and define the environment in which they operate (context of the organization) and determine key stakeholders and their expectations (needs and expectations of interested parties), but it does not require any additional effort to extrapolate this information into effective strategic planning. Why collect all this key information about the organization, but not use it to define the vision, mission, and strategy for the organization?
So let's break down and take a closer look at the individual clauses for this part of the ISO 9001 standard.
ISO 9001 requires the organization to define and understand the "organizational context" which is ISO's terminology for the environment in which the business operates. Specifically, ISO 9001 context of the organization requirements state that the internal and external issues that affect or impact the organization must be determined. In the world of strategic planning, this exercise is often referred to as an environmental scan or situation analysis (context analysis) which are standard established business practices.
There are numerous other tools and methods which can be used to analyze and evaluate an organization's operating environment. Research the various options and pick a process that works best for your organization based on industry, risks, product and service complexity, size of the organization, etc. A simple tool that we often recommend, especially for small companies is SWOT which we discuss later in this article. In the end, pick a tool and process that fits your company. Note that many of the available tools were designed for large enterprise size organizations and will be overly complex and burdensome for many smaller organizations. Choose wisely!
Just remember that the purpose of this exercise is to identify both the internal and external issues or forces which impact the business, either in a negative or positive manner. For first timers, I recommend using a general brainstorming approach to identify as many factors as possible, then whittle the list down to the top five or ten most concerning issues, just to keep the list manageable.
As the negative and positive forces are defined, determine and rate their relative impact to the organization and assess the risks they may pose to company performance and viability. Use section 1.2 of the EBS free example strategic planning worksheet to help define and document internal and external issues. You can access this free download through the EBS Free Members Library. Adopt or modify this tool to best fit and serve your organization. The EBS ISO 9001 eCoach system provides additional tools and examples for completing your strategic planning activities, including a list of questions for generating ideas and identifying key elements of a strategic plan.
Interested parties are any stakeholders which impact or influence the organization or which are impacted by your organization. These can be competitors, customers, investors, owners, external providers, employees, the community, regulatory bodies, utilities, etc. ISO 9001 simply requires that these stakeholders be identified along with how they are impacted by your organization and what they expect or require from you. ISO just wants to ensure that all key stakeholders are considered and more importantly, that the needs and expectations of these interested parties are incorporated into planning activities.
Don't overthink this and make it harder than it is. Again, our free downloadable strategic planning worksheet provides a method for completing and documenting this exercise.
One basic tool or method that many organizations are using to satisfy these ISO 9001 context of the organization requirements is the SWOT analysis where SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. By categorizing the various internal and external issues that affect the organization into four different buckets, you can quickly identify and define strategic action to either help the organization gain a competitive advantage or mitigate and avoid negative damages. An online search for the "SWOT" will deliver a huge number of resources and tools for completing your SWOT analysis, many of which are free.
Note that completing the exercises and actions described so far in this article should adequately satisfy sections 4.1 and 4.2 of ISO 9001 standard. However, there is really not much sense in just completing this initial analytical work without continuing on with strategic planning activities based on this initial environmental analysis.
While we won't go into any strategic planning methodologies in this article, our free Strategic Planning Worksheet provides additional structure for strategic planning purposes. Also, the EBS ISO 9001 eCoach system provides additional guidance and examples to complete this work. You are not obligated to complete these additional exercises to be compliant to ISO 9001, but we strongly recommend that you do.
Note that there are many viable approaches to strategic planning and we certainly recommend that you thoroughly research this topic and identify the best methods and tools for your planning needs as you develop and implement your own strategy and planning process.
The bottom line is that you should be completing some type of assessment to determine the landscape where your company currently operates, then determine a path forward to be competitive in the marketplace and grow your organization. How you do that is entirely up to you and perhaps you already have established some type of planning methods. If so, great; continue to build on those processes and make them even better. If not, consider how your organization could benefit from a good planning process, then determine and implement a process that works best for you. Outside of providing the basic planning approach in the example documents, we aren't going to go into too much depth on this topic.
Believe it or not, ISO 9001 doesn't require retained documented information (records) of any actions or results for context of the organization. That being said, we feel that it would be foolish to not document the output of this work and leave everything to tribal knowledge. Our recommendation would be to capture at a minimum, the internal and external issues along with a list of key stakeholders (interested parties) and their needs and expectations. Rolling this information up into a basic SWOT analysis will demonstrate additional consideration and some form of strategic planning effort. Also, the SWOT information provides a great input to the risks and opportunities (risk management) process (ISO 9001:2015 clause 6.1).
The ISO 9001 context of the organization clauses specifically state that you must monitor and review information concerning internal and external issues, and interested parties and their requirements. Monitoring refers to a process or method that continuously takes some form of measurement and indicates when possible action or changes might be needed. The frequency of this measurement can be determined by the nature of your business, market, industry, customers, competitors, etc. Operating in a stable business environment may only require an annual review while an unstable and fast changing environment may necessitate quarterly or even monthly action. Often, companies find that their management review meeting provides an ideal venue for reviewing and updating strategic plans. Determine what is appropriate for your organization and establish an effective monitoring process.
We applaud ISO 9001 for adding the context of the organization clauses in their attempt to push organizations to implement better strategic planning activities. If you have already established some type of strategic planning or business plan, review your current process and documentation and where needed, make changes and improvements to ensure compliance to the ISO 9001 requirements. Also consider taking things up another level by completing a full strategic plan which defines how your organization will compete, execute, and win in the marketplace.

Bridestones Brewing is based in a converted stable block on a farm in Blackshaw Head on the moors above the South Pennine towns of Hebden Bridge and Todmorden. The brewery takes its name from a nearby bouldering outcrop and local landmark known as 'The Bridestones'. Dan Tasker has been brewing there since 2006 and his beer has won several awards. Dan's wife, Laura, is an artist, and she designed the brewery's logo and labels.
Bridestones brew five core beers which are available on draft or in bottles. They cover a range of strengths and styles from the popular citrus-flavoured Pennine Gold (4.3%) to the sweet and velvety Dark Mild (4.5%). Indians Head (3.7%) named after another local rock, is a deep gold colour with a tasty malt base. Dan also produces seasonal and special beers to supplement the core range.
The brewery tap is The New Delight Inn just a couple of miles away from the brewery in Colden. Pennine Gold is always available as is either Sandstone or Indians Head. Bridestones beers are also available as guest beers in many pubs across the South Pennines. Bottled ales are available from Oasis and Pennine Wine and Cheese in Hebden Bridge.
Legend has it that the Bridestones were used in ancient marriage and hand-fasting ceremonies. The 'bottleneck' stone, so called because it is shaped like an upturned bottle, is thought to be the bride, while the toppled stone beside it is acknowledged to be the groom.

Q: Can I use a Mac Mini with VS 2015 for Cross Platform Development? I am gearing up to build a Xamarin based universal app. It appears I need to have a Mac to deploy and test against an iPhone, if I am reading things correctly, as there is no emulator available. As it appears that I am using the Mac as basically a router, can I use a Mac Mini? Is the 1.4 GHz enough or do I need a 2.6+ GHz model? I really don't have the desk space for a full Mac.

A: You don't only need the Mac for access to an emulator - you also need it for the actual compilation/linking. The Apple SDK is required for producing binaries that will run on an iOS device.
Another consideration: you will need to be running either the Business or Enterprise tier of Xamarin in order to use the iOS Build Server feature.

A: You will need a Mac to run the simulator, yes. As a Forms-based iOS application  still effectively starts a Xamarin.iOS project, you can use a guide such as the one here to get started with deploying to an iOS simulator running on a Mac with Visual Studio. As for the power of the machine, a 1.4Ghz model will be fine as long as you're running El Capitan for the current version of Xcode.

A: Word of advice... Get a Mac Mini that supports at least Sierra OS. This means that you will need a Mac Mini >= mid 2010.


Members considered a report of the Director of Community and Children's Services providing an update on mental health provision and the following points were made.
· It was noted that primary schools work with local authorities regarding mental health provision.
· A Member felt that it would be useful for the Board to know what the sense of demand was from primary schools, e.g. if more was needed than currently provided then the Board would know if this area required more investment.

This handsome young man is Oscar who is 2 years old. He is neutered and microchipped but vaccinations are out of date.
Oscar is good with children, but older best as he is quite boisterous. Not had much doggy socialisation and does bark when on the lead, but then he also needs further lead training and recall work.
No issues over food or toys and being rehomed as his owner is moving to where she cannot take him. Oscar is basically an overgrown, friendly puppy who needs the training, socialisation and boundaries he has so badly missed out on please.

WORKERS COMPENSATION APPEAL PROCESS
By PSLAW
Home > Blog > WORKERS COMPENSATION APPEAL PROCESS
EXPERIENCED WORKERS COMPENSATION ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING WORK INJURY VICTIMS
Injured employees have a legal right to apply for work injury benefits under the Workers Compensation Act. These benefits are given to the majority of employees who are diagnosed with an industrial disease or who suffer injuries in a workplace accident. After filing a claim with the California Workers Compensation Commission, workers often retain a workers compensation lawyer to assist them to assert their eligibility for job injury benefits.
Unfortunately, some employees are denied their claim for benefits, or they may suffer another challenge regarding their claim. At The Law Offices of Dr. Peter M. Schaeffer workers compensation lawyers advocate for workers who are asserting their right to benefits of job-related injuries in a variety of fields. We can examine the underlying factors leading to the accident or illness and work with medical experts to advance a strong workers compensation appeal.
WORKERS COMPENSATION APPEALS PROCESS
Objections to a workers compensation claim may delay the process of securing benefits, directing to additional pressure for an injured employee and their family. In some circumstances, the employer or the employer's insurance firm appeal a decision announced by an arbitrator or the California Workers Compensation Commission.
For workers compensation cases, the injured employee must prove that they are eligible for benefits under the Workers Compensation Act. While the Commission works as an impartial court, they may not rule in favor of an employee. It is the responsibility of all injured workers to set forth the necessary documentation and proof supporting their claim for benefits. In other words, injured workers must show that their injury was caused by work in the course and scope of their employment.
A successful claim requires that an employee presents the evidence of their employment on the date of accident, pointing that an employee-employer relationship existed between the parties. The employee must also show a causal relationship making clear that their medical condition was affected by accident. Eventually, the employee must have given the employer timely notice of the accident. Proving the following factors allows for the recovery of some benefits, but there may be other issues. An employer may dispute the extent of the worker's injuries or the price of their weekly wage. Some employers may argue that specific medical treatment were not necessary and that they're not required to pay for these bills.
The method of securing workers compensation benefits may include multiple steps. Initially, an arbitrator of the Commission conducts a trial. It's essential to note that an arbitrator resolves a case if the employee reaches maximum medical improvement. There may be delay between the filing of the claim and the trial, & preparing for trial requires obtaining medical and other records. After the trial, arbitrator will issue a decision stating the number of benefits to which an employee is entitled. Workers and employers may then appeal a decision given by the arbitrator. The Commission reviews the arbitrator's decision & studies supporting evidence. Hearing takes place, and the parties may give an argument stating the reasons for their position. The Commission then provides a decision within 60 days.
During the term of a pending appeal, the employer is not expected to pay benefits awarded by the arbitrator. If the case is resolved in the employee's favor, interest will be appended to the award.
SKILLED WORKERS COMPENSATION LAWYER IN CALIFORNIA
The rejection of a workers compensation claim by an arbitrator doesn't necessarily mean that an injured employee will not be capable to recover benefits under the Act. If either an the Commission or the arbitrator has ruled in favor of an employer or failed to give an employee full compensation, the employee maintains the right to continue pursuing benefits for their job-related injuries.
At The Law Offices of Dr. Peter M. Schaeffer can help you understand your legal rights. Discuss your workers' comp with us and get the benefits you deserve. We helped many employees who are injured at work in the State of California and the Riverside and San Bernadino counties, which includes the surrounding communities of Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley,Hemet, Temecula, and Palm Springs.

The Ford F-150 delivers all the big-truck attributes of toughness, strength, and cargo capacity, but offers interior design and comfort that would rival some luxury cars. It's also stylish, among the best-looking in a group of handsome full-size pickups for the 2006 model year.
Properly equipped, an F-150 can tow 9,900 pounds or haul more than 3,000 pounds in the bed. The F-150 is comfortable as well, with a quiet and refined ride and comfortable interiors that show attention to detail. Handling is excellent for a pickup.
The F-150 earned a five-star safety rating from the government (NHTSA) in frontal crash testing and was named a "Best Pick" in offset-crash rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. F-150 comes equipped with dual frontal airbags designed to deploy according to the severity of the crash and who or what is occupying the seat. Seat belts, your first line of defense in any crash, are equipped with pre-tensioners and energy-management retractors.
For all these reasons, the F-150 has been America's best-selling full-size pickup for 28 consecutive years. It's the most important, most profitable vehicle Ford makes.
F-150 was last redesigned in 2004, when it earned numerous awards, including North American Truck of the Year. Ford has not significantly changed the F-150 since then except to expand the lineup every year with new trim levels, variations, and specialty models.
For 2006, SuperCrew (crew cab) models will be available with a longer, 6.5-foot bed; as well as the standard 5.5-foot short bed. A limited-production Harley-Davidson edition, previously offered on Super Duty models, is now available as an F-150 SuperCab (extended cab). SuperCrew buyers can choose the King Ranch model, lavishly outfitted in Castano leather, one of our favorites. At the bottom of the lineup is a V6 work truck.
F-150 offers more choices than any other pickup nameplate, with six distinct trim variations, the industry's widest variety of body configurations (three cab styles, three bed lengths, two bed styles), and a choice of V8 engines, all thoughtfully designed to address the distinct needs and wants of individual buyers.

This is a demonstration of the use of the API VirtualAlloc. There are two tests. In each case a large block of memory addresses is reserved (1M), then memory is allocated (committed) at 1 "page" at a time and then released at 1 page at a time. A "page" is usually 4K, but it is good practice if working in pages to ask the system how big a page is by calling GetSystemInfo. When allocating and releasing memory you need to keep track of the amount of memory in use. The two tests differ slightly in how this is done.
Note that when committing pages VirtualAlloc is given the required starting address for the new page in the lpAddress. The SDK states that this is not necessary, and you need only provide the base address of the memory area. In tests, this did work in W98, but not in W95.
The SDK (Software Development Kit) when Win32 was first instroduced suggested that before memory can be released using VirtualFree, all the memory area had to have the same status, ie. all committed or all not committed. This test, which works under Windows 95, showed that this is not necessarily the case. Later the SDK was amended to say this did not matter.
At about the same time the SDK was also amended to say that you can use both the MEM_DECOMMIT (4000h) and the MEM_RELEASE (8000h) flags when calling VirtualFree. I found this to work, but to return an API error.
These matters do not fill you with confidence and in my code unless I have one single-size memory block I always play safe by calling VirtualFree twice, once to decommit and once to release. This avoids any chance of my programs eating up memory when in use.
The first test reserves 1M of memory addresses, commits the first page and then releases all the memory in one go. Use the breakpoint MEMORY_RELEASE. Note that the return from VirtualFree is EAX=1 (return TRUE, meaning success). Then IsBadReadPtr is called to check that the memory has disappeared.
This API needs some explanation. Firstly it probably shows in the debugger as IsBadHugeReadPtr, which is the same thing. Secondly it works in a way which only makes sense when you think about it. It actually reads from the address to be checked. If an exception occurs then the address is not properly readable. In fact, therefore, when IsBadReadPtr is called in this code, an exception occurs in Kernel32.Dll. However, GoBug ignores the exception because it occured in shared memory. GoBug only responds to exceptions which were caused by the application being debugged. IsBadReadPtr returns EAX=0 if the address can properly be read and EAX=1 if it cannot, as here.
Finally VirtualFree is called again twice. Firstly using flag 4000h (DECOMMIT) and then using flag 8000h (RELEASE). This is done simply to accord with the original SDK. Note, however, that since the memory has alread been released albeit the wrong way according to the original SDK these APIs return EAX=0 (fail).
Test 2 does the same as test 1 but uses not the first page of memory but the second. Therefore, the first page of memory is not committed but the second is committed. However, the system again permits release of all memory with a single call to VirtualFree with flag 8000h (RELEASE).
The third test does the same as the first two tests, but calls VirtualFree with the flag 0C000h (DECOMMIT and RELEASE). This combination is acceptable according to later versions of the SDK, but was found to return an error in Windows 95 and Windows 98. Try it. Although VirtualFree might return an error, it seems actually to release the memory anyway. If the IsBadReadPtr test returns EAX=1 then the memory was released.
The moral of these tests is that unless you have made an area of memory in one block, all of which is committed or decommitted, it is probably prudent to call VirtualFree twice, once to decommit and once to release.
This test proves that memory areas created by HeapCreate (or provided by GetProcessHeap) and allocated by HeapAlloc are controlled quite differently from those created by VirtualAlloc. Memory areas created by the "Heap" functions rely on a heap header which keeps information about the heap, and each area of memory is divided into blocks headed by a heap "arena". For a full description of these headers see Matt Pietrek's book "Windows 95 System Programming Secrets". The size of the heap header various from version to version, but is usually 116 bytes ending with the signature "HI". Each heap arena is 4 bytes. The first word (apart from bits 0 and 1 which are used for flags) is the size of the heap block and the most significant byte is the signature A0h. HeapCreate and GetProcessHeap return the address of the heap header. HeapAlloc returns the address of the beginning of the usable block of memory ie. at the end of the heap arena.
Set the breakpoint to VIEWING_HEAP_TEST and single-step down this code. The API RtlFillMemory fills the memory area with the value 78 and then RtlZeroMemory zeroes the same area. You can watch this by making a data inspector in GoBug.
The test is repeated, but this time using the heap provided as part of the heap addresses automatically allocated for the process on start-up (the "default heap" available using GetProcessHeap). The handle returned by GetProcessHeap is the address of the heap header.
Finally VirtualAlloc is used for comparison. Note there is no heap header. Control of the memory area is carried out by Windows internally.
One other interesting thing about this test is that the call to HeapFree (after using the default heap) does not immediately release the physical memory allocated to the memory area. Keep the data inspector open for viewing the address of the usable part of the default keep returned by HeapAlloc. See how it is used again later. It appears that the system may well keep some areas of memory permanently allocated to a process because the memory is likely to be in constant use as text, menus and window titles come and go.


Converting colors to grey has always been difficult to control. SilverFast has created an easy way to solve this problem.
SilverFast's SC2G, Selective Color to Grey, can maintain the grey shade differentiation by controlling the conversion process. For all six colors: Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, the user can control into what shade of grey the color will be converted. Since the whole process is interactively monitoring the final grey image, the user quickly achieves the desired result.
The example above demonstrates, the sky appear too dark with the standard color to grey conversion. With SilverFast's Selective Color to Grey conversion (SC2G) the sky can be selectively made brighter, without changing the brightness of other objects of the sample. After changing into Greyscale mode and activating the Selectiv-Color-Dialog, click into the sky of the sample. Now we want to make the grey representing the sky brighter and click and hold repeatedly onto the top end of the blue control until the grey looks bright enough.

Italians Settle in
Edmonton's
Italian Community
The recording of any oral history is an attempt to record, on tape or other media, the ideas, experiences, and impressions of persons who might not otherwise leave any written record. It is an important tool for primary research in community, ethnocultural or other less formal historical research. Oral history utilizes and adds to existing information about historical events and other aspects of "official" history; it is not a substitute for more traditional techniques of research but does provide an invaluable glimpse into the lives and experiences of those interviewed. In the latter part of the 20th century, it has become a vehicle for understanding cultural memory and living traditions-all of those aspects of life that help define identity and create a sense of place. Although an interview cannot capture everything that a person knows, it can capture part of a person's life experience and fill gaps in our written historical knowledge. Oral histories may not be historically accurate because people's memories are imperfect and may also be influenced by wish fulfillment and desire for certain things to be so. Having said this, they have an immediacy and vibrancy that is lacking in the formal recounting of events
We are extremely fortunate that, on several occasions and through several different projects such as the Dante Alighieri Project, the Italians Settle in Edmonton Project , and the Celebrating Edmonton's Italian Community Project, there has been a great number of Oral Histories recorded with members from the Italian Community in Alberta. In this section we would like to share with you some of these, and allow you to experience the stories of triumph and tragedy, as told by those that lived them.

Operating theatres are busy places. Packed with equipment, theatre staff, anaesthists, surgeons and patients. They are also expensive to run and maintain, which is why there are several clinical published studies that have calculated the actual cost of an operating room to be £20.00 per minute. With such an expense, it is vital to optimise the time spent in theatre to be at its most effective and efficient. There are many safety concerns that obviously take a priority, which all staff practice and adhere to. Eurosurgical believe that there is a "value" to this time and as such we have in our portfolio several excellent examples of time saving medical devices. Insorb - the excellent resorbable, sub-cuticular staple deivce, for rapid closure of long excisional wounds, is just one example of a time saving device. In clinical studies and in practice amoungst many plastic and breast surgeons throughout the UK and the world, the Insorb staple gun will reduce the closure time of a long abdominal incision by approx. 40-50 minutes. A staggering saving of between £812 and £856, depending on whether 1 or 2 Insorb staple guns are used, per case over using conventional sutures, in theatre time alone. In addition to the money saved, the surgical wound closed by Insorb is cosmetically far superior to that of metal staples and creates more of an everted wound than even sutures. If you don't already know how to use the device, then time and money is being wasted at your hospital.


'Attention' is a very strange phenomenon. At first sight, and as far as we are normally used to think about it, it's very easy. One focuses one's attention on something to some degree or not at all. That's all there is to it, no?
To make this clear, compare it to human sight. Eyes were once thought of as being nothing more than a kind of camera that captures information and sends it to the brain for processing. But eyes only look simple and passive at first sight. Actually, they are much, much more complex than that. The complexity is no less than bewildering.
Let alone 'attention'. 'Focussing one's attention', is an extremely complex action. It cannot be otherwise, since much of a person's brain is involved in this endeavor. Many books have been written about it and many more are going to be written.
I make an important distinction between 'superficial attention' (like looking at something, but at the same time thinking about many different and unrelated things) and 'deep attention', whereby a large part of a person's mind is involved in the subject. Don't think too quickly that this difference is obvious. Actually, to see it fully is extremely difficult.
We live in a society of much superficial attention. A huge amount of information has to be dealt with. Staying focused on something, even for a little while, is more and more difficult for many people. So much has to be done all the time. We live in an ADHD society.
'Children need attention.' You've heard it before. Well then, is superficial attention OK, or do children specifically need deep attention? I think the latter. Then do they really need it, like some kind of mental food?
I think so. Children, even babies, need it very much. And the situation is sad. Children get fewer and fewer examples of what deep attention is about. People in general just don't know it. So children hardly get it, and therefore it's logical that many of them have a difficulty giving it in turn. These children get caught in a vicious pattern of attention deficit and 'hyperactivity' in a desperate search for it. We speak of ADHD if this impairs their normal functioning and sense of well-being.
The solution lies in deep attention. We as a society have to relearn what this really is about. One thing is certain. It can never be enforced. You have to let it grow.
In the rain or in the snow.

'Tumasch è' is the winner of Suns Europe 2017
UDINE – «The event has been fantastic, the musical level of the performances as incredible as always. I'm not going to give any artistic opinion on the winner, the jury has already expressed it.
On the other hand, I would like to emphasize how this year's winner is the person who could forge the most beautiful and profound relationships and who better understood the true spirit of Suns Europe» said Leo Virgili, artistic director of the festival. 'Tumasch è' is the winner of the third edition of Suns Europe, the minority languages art festival that took place in Udine from the 30 th of November to the 2 nd of December.
'Tumasch è'
Thomas Cathomen plays, sings and writes songs also in Romansh. 'Tumasch è' is the name of his newest project: a perfect balance of rock, pop, and singer-songwriter music, crossing the borders between Europe and the Americas, Grisons (the region where he comes from and which he represented at Suns Europe 2017) and Mexico.
Jury and runners-up
As explained by Onno Falkena, president of the technical jury – also composed of Enerit Furyak (Basque Country), Gruff Rhys (Wales), Carin Marzaro (Fruli), Stefano Degioanni (Occitania), Jachen Prevost (Grisons), Bert Kamping (Lower Saxony), Ruben Dominguez (Galicia), Mathieu Scialino (Brittany, Friuli) – Tumasch è's gentle voice and music created a truly magical atmosphere. His gestures are apparently small and simple, but his music 'hides' something brilliant and ingenious. This is exactly what convinced the jury to award him the first place. As in the past edition of the festival, the winner was chosen with a cross-vote of the technical jury and of the 'popular' jury represented by the audience: 'Tumasch è' received a handful of votes less than Isa Zwart (Province of Drenthe, Netherlands), the public's favourite.
Second place for La Basu (Basque Country), with her vivid sounds and an interesting combination of music styles. Particularly appreciated also the performance of Ebel Elektrik (Brittany), a very energetic band who brought on stage a wonderful guitar.
Suns Europe's final event has once again met the expectations of the audience: a sparkling, colourful and thrilling soirée. The event was hosted by Natalie Norma Fella and Michele Polo, who delighted the public with great professionalism and funny comedy sketches. On stage, in front of an attentive audience, voices, sounds and rhythms of a Europe "united in its diversity". Along with the winners, we listened to the music of Adwaith (Wales), Esposa (Galicia), Franco Giordani (Fruli) and many others, including two fantastic special guests: Namgar (from Buryatia, near Mongolia) and Gruff Rhys (Wales), who received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Lorenzo Fabbro, President of Arlef.
But it's not all. On stage also Joana Gomila Folk Souvenir, representing the Catalan Countries. Joana was greeted with a warm applause and a message which stood out on stage: "No Esteu Sols", you are not alone. «We wanted to give this message to all Catalans. You are not alone – said Carlo Puppo, President of Informazione Friulana (published of Radio Onde Furlane) – this is an arts festival where music, cinema and literature are the star-ingredients, but we never forget about the linguistic and national rights of all European citizens. In this very special historic moment, we could not help but feel close to the Catalan people and send them our message». Once again, Suns Europe offered a three-day event full of artistic influences, talent, linguistic pluralism and creativity. Once again it showed us the beauty of diversity.
Suns Europe is a project of Cooperativa Informazione Friulana (publisher of Radio Onde Furlane) and Cooperativa Puntozero, with the sponsorship of Arlef (Agjenzie Regjonâl pe Lenghe Furlane – Regional Agency for Friulian language), Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia and Fondazione Friuli, in collaboration with the Municipality of Udine, Fondazione Teatro Nuovo Giovanni da Udine, Babel Film Festival and under the auspices of the Council of Europe.

The outcome of the referendum on 23 June 2016 will, in practice, bind the government on the question of whether or not the United Kingdom will remain in the EU. This paper does not engage in the issues about 'remain' or 'leave' about which it is neutral. But if there is a vote for Brexit the legal implications of such an outcome will suddenly occupy centre-stage. Thus far, they have hardly been addressed. Here, the authors explore the two pressing and immediate legal consequences of Brexit. Part 1 examines the constitutional consequences of a vote to leave the EU and Part 2 focuses on the consequences of such a vote for EU citizenship rights.
The thesis presented is that identifying the immediate legal effects of Brexit can neither be avoided nor deferred and that, once identified, they need to be planned for well in advance of any exit from the EU. Constitutionally, these legal challenges encompass the uncertainties surrounding the operation of Article 50 TEU regulating the exit of member states, the complexities of uncoupling EU law from domestic law, and the implications of Brexit for devolution including the engagement and justiciability of the Sewel Convention. There are also likely to be substantive legal effects on EU citizenship rights that are vested and that may become the subject of legal proceedings either in the UK or elsewhere in the EU.
