Q: How can I make a html canvas "scroll" indefinitely? I have a canvas element that automatically fills the entire browser window of the client when loaded. On it you can draw with the mouse, like in the result of any "make a drawing board"-tutorial out there. What I want to do however is to make it so that if you move the mouse to any extreme of the canvas (or maybe select a certain "move"-tool, you can drag the canvas in any direction you'd like), it scrolls. In particular, I want it to be possible to in theory scroll forever, so I can't really pre-generate, I have to generate "more canvas" on the fly. Does any one have any idea on how to do this?
If it helps, this is the client-side javascript right now: (the html is just a canvas-tag)
$(document).ready(function() {
    init();
});

function init() {
    var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas')
      , ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')
      , width = window.innerWidth
      , height = window.innerHeight;

    // Sets the canvas size to be the same as the browser size
    canvas.width = width;
    canvas.height = height;

    // Binds mouse and touch events to functions
    $(canvas).bind({
        'mousedown':  startDraw,
        'mousemove':  draw,
        'mouseup':    stopDraw,
    });
};

// Triggered on mousedown, sets draw to true and updates X, Y values.
function startDraw(e) {
    this.draw = true;
    this.X = e.pageX;
    this.Y = e.pageY;
};

// Triggered on mousemove, strokes a line between this.X/Y and e.pageX/Y
function draw(e) {
    if(this.draw) {
        with(ctx) {
            beginPath();
            lineWidth = 4;
            lineCap = 'round';
            moveTo(this.X, this.Y);
            lineTo(e.pageX, e.pageY);
            stroke();
        }
        this.X = e.pageX;
        this.Y = e.pageY;
    }
};

// Triggered on mouseup, sets draw to false
function stopDraw() {
    this.draw = false;
};

A: The canvas element uses real memory of your computer, so there is no infinite canvas which scrolls forever. But, you may simulate this behavior using a virtual canvas. Just record the xy coords captured by draw() into an array and calculate a new center of the virtual canvas if the mouse touches the border. Then filter out the xy coords which fit into center +- screen size and draw them.
However, the array recording the xy coords can not grow infinitely and the filter code will get slower over the size of the array. Are 10,000 points enough?
More optimized code will turn the mouse coords into splines and saves only points needed to redraw the (smoothed) path of the mouse.

WEO 2016 also warns of disjointed scenario if energy transition is delayed.
The scenarios produced by the IEA, and indeed those from the US EIA, are not forecasts of what the organisations expect to happen. They have been frequently misrepresented as such, however. The selective use of scenarios which fit business as usual for the fossil fuel industry we believe is misleading for investors trying to understand the energy transition.
As scenario analysis is mooted as a useful tool to understand the risks of the energy transition, it is clear that using a scenario with no changes in technology and policy (the CPS) or the new policy scenario (NPS) (AKA the 'no new policies scenario'), which includes what is already known about and set to come into force does not help companies or their shareholders understand risk and opportunity. Planning for such a lack of policy change is an increasingly dangerous strategy in an increasingly volatile and uncertain market.
Furthermore, the extent of the low-carbon shift has been faster to date than reflected in many scenarios. Consequently, we think it is more useful for risk management purposes to use low carbon scenarios as a way of testing business resilience. The new baseline should be the IEA 450 (2°C) scenario, which as this WEO shows is not a static reference point in terms of the pathway to delivering the emissions outcome.
Using this baseline allows investors to compare variations between companies and their assumptions, and therefore perceive how aligned management is with their view of the energy system going forward.
Big steps have been made in the transition to a low-carbon economy over the past 12 months. The IEA have acknowledged this progress and have adjusted the 2016 450 scenario accordingly. Although the scenario still achieves a 2°C outcome on the balance of probability, this is now achieved through more renewable energy technologies, less coal and CCS in the power sector and greater electrification in the transport sector.
Figure 1 shows that solar PV is the big winner in these revisions, growing by 44% more than in the 2015 450 scenario by 2040. Wind power has also been revised upwards. This growth largely comes at the expense of coal fired power, which makes a far smaller contribution to this 2°C scenario than in the previous year.
The downward revision of coal in this year's 450 scenario is an acknowledgement of the structural headwinds facing the sector, which have often been highlighted in Carbon Tracker's work. It is also in response to assumptions on the contribution of carbon capture and storage (CCS) being halved. The 2016 450 scenario assumed 430GW of power plants are equipped with CCS in 2040, whereas last year's WEO put this figure at just over 900GW. The IEA state this reduction is in response to "the slow pace at which this technology is being tested and deployed in practice".
Finally, the IEA have focused far more this year on the potential growth of electric vehicles (EVs) than in the past. This has led to another upward adjustment across all scenarios. In the central New Policies Scenario (NPS) this was from 57 million in 2040 to 150 million in the 2016 WEO. The 2016 450 scenario also appears to have increased its EV assumption to 700 million by 2040, displacing 6mbd of oil consumption in the process. The IEA's WEO calculations exclude potential subsidies and fuel taxes and so these estimates could very well be on the conservative side.
As well as making huge strides on the technological side, the low-carbon transition was cemented in policy with the December 2015 Paris Agreement being ratified in November 2016. This has led this year's WEO to include scenarios that limit global warming below 2°C, i.e. the 'well below 2°C' scenario (WB2°C) (equivalent to 1.84°C of warming) or '1.5°C scenario'. IEA carbon budgets assume a 50% chance of delivering the climate outcome desired and, as one would expect, the carbon budget decreases with lower global warming targets – refer Figure 2. It should be noted that the 50% likelihood budget for 1.84°C is equivalent to a 66% likelihood budget for a 2°C outcome. So to put it another way, the IEA has considered the 66% probability of a 2°C outcome as well as its usual 50% probability.
Figure 2 shows the consequences for fossil fuels from climate constraints are stark. Oil demand in 2040 in the WB2°C scenario is 63mbd, almost a third down on today's levels. This falls to 40mbd in the 1.5°C. A similar downward trajectory is evident for gas consumption in 2040 across the different climate outcomes.
The 2016 WEO provides a perspective on Carbon Tracker's core concepts of stranded assets and wasted capital expenditures (CAPEX). For the IEA, the extent to which risk exists from stranded assets depends on whether the low-carbon transition is orderly or disorderly – something Carbon Tracker frequently highlights as well.
In an orderly transition, with governments pursuing 'unambiguous policies', 'there is no reason to assume widespread stranding of upstream assets for oil'. The IEA do assert however, that in a 450 scenario, the risk of stranded assets is higher because of a combination of falling demand and lower prices, something that will mean oil "companies are valued less".
The IEA supports Carbon Tracker's contention that a more disorderly or "disjointed" low-carbon transition, based around overly optimistic readings of future demand, could be highly damaging to the oil and gas industry. For example, according to the 2016 WEO, the NPS comprises 190 billion barrels not needed in the 450 scenario, potentially wasting $200bn in exploration costs, not to mention lost revenues. Overall, companies are worth 20% less in the 450 scenario than the NPS, largely as a result of a lower oil price assumption.
'the later the transition to 2°C is deferred, the more difficult and disruptive it promises to be for the upstream oil industry'.
In light of the potentially destabilising political events with the UK's exit from the EU and the victory of President-elect Donald Trump, understanding and analysing such 'disruptive scenarios' is likely to become more essential than ever, whether technological, regulatory or political.

Pop Cautious is the creative persona of Texas-born and raised singer-songwriter, Tyler Porterfield.
With his latest single 'Sunshine', Porterfield brings all the mellow feelings and comforting warmth as we are transported to a place amongst the clouds, for a bout of tranquillity. Creating a powerful sense of relaxation and calmness, 'Sunshine' flows gently by, amid a sea of soft lilting vocals, whispering lyrical poeticisms and subtle instrumentation. It is permeated by an air of richness, comforting tranquillity while shrouded in melancholy. 'Sunshine' reveals itself slowly, with layer upon layer of slow undulation. It requires a degree of patience, understanding and repeated listens to be fully appreciated. 'Sunshine' is a beautiful, simplistic and exudes the warm glow of friendship, and sometimes that is quite enough.
Get lost in the relaxing daydream that is 'Sunshine' below.

I've been waiting for this for a long time, reading about how this legal stream-all-the-music-you-want service is changing the face of music all over the world. So when I saw it was here I signed up for an invitation right away and got my "Step right up!" email in the next day or two.
I'm not going to go into all the features, because you can read about that elsewhere. Suffice it to say that it really is as easy as it sounds. I downloaded the program, logged in, searched "harry potter and the deathly hallows part 1" and instantly began streaming the soundtrack. (Part 2 isn't up yet, as far as I can tell–but it's on Grooveshark!) This morning I thought, "Oh! I haven't bought the newest R.E.M. album yet! I'll stream it now!" It's going now, and I really love it.
Quick interlude: before I got married, I listened to music while falling asleep every once in a while–say, 2 nights a month. I would put on a CD, and I'd almost always be asleep before it ended. When I got my first mp3 player, I made awesome "fall asleep" playlists, because I love playlists. But I found that when I listened to the playlists, I would never actually fall asleep with them on. It wasn't the headphones–when in college, I fell asleep plenty of times to Björk's Vespertine through headphones.
So while I'm excited at what Spotify can offer me, I'm wary about anything that makes me think so much about me and my wants, and allows me to fill those wants so easily, with no hesitation at all. I'm afraid that too much bounty puts me into a me-focused, jittery mindset that doesn't include room for living within boundaries, or sleep. No, I'm not anti-Spotify. I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep using it for a long, long time. But I'm also trying to pay attention to subtle changes that new technologies want to make in me, and I want to be the one who decides which changes are allowed to happen.
The Victoria and Albert Museum model, which, though awesome in its own way for its own time, is inherently restrictive: readers take the time to go to its "cathedral of knowledge" on its terms.
Our entirely new world of information online, which requires new maps and new education and new searching strategies, and which is inherently open, unstructured by time, and accessible.
To this conference crowd of mostly library faculty (with plenty of rhet/comp folks sprinkled in for good luck), perhaps Yancey's most provocative point was her insistence on teaching content along with information literacy skills. It doesn't make sense to teach someone how to search a database as though the topic of the search were meaningless, much as it doesn't make sense to teach someone how to organize a paragraph as though the purpose, audience, and context of the paragraph were meaningless. She pointed out that without content, students don't see the whole "map" of the information they seek, and therefore don't learn the big picture–they only learn how to get from point A to point B.
But for me, of all the things I could go into here, I'm especially interested in her 3 categories of sources that might make up an information ecology: there are academic sources (from journals, scholarly books, etc.), mainstream sources (from Time, Malcolm Gladwell, USA Today, etc.), but also alternative sources–anything from The National Enquirer to a blog about science–i.e., anything that doesn't fit comfortably in the first two categories.
Research these days is necessarily going to encounter all of these types of sources; we can't simply say to students, "You can only use sources that are academic, from .edu websites, with no advertisements, with reputable authors." Sometimes the info on mainstream and alternative sources is provocative, worthwhile, and (gasp!) even correct, reputable, important, etc. The trick is that–get this–the reader actually has to read the sources s/he finds and make judgments about them–it's not a simple one-size-fits-all process! And that is where students often miss the boat.
I think I've been waiting for someone (reputable…*grin*) to say this for a while. After all, when I research online, I blend these kinds of sources all the time; like Chris Anderson, I go to Wikipedia a lot, and don't feel bad about doing so. I've struggled to teach students ways of research that more closely mirror the "real-world" stuff I do all the time, but it's been hard. Yancey's paradigm will help, methinks.
Since I'm studying new media, intellectual property, remixing, fan fiction, information literacy, and delivery in classical rhetoric, you might find anything at all relating to those topics on here. But of course, I reserve the right to mention anything else that comes up as well.
Cory Doctorow's site recently mentioned this exciting site, W1N5T0N, that posts the entirety of his novel Little Brother online in a format allowing users to make paragraph-level comments (powered by digress.it, a WordPress plug-in).
I've seen this concept used before for academic work (an undergrad thesis in Lost and a stellar CCCC 2009 panel, "On Making Waves without Falling Out of the Boat: The Experience of Composing an Electronic Dissertation"), but never for fiction. It seems something like reading a fancy version of Shakespeare: lots of footnotes, half of which aren't welcome and the other half of which are crucial insights that I'm glad I got. The difference, of course, is the people who are allowed to enter the conversation about the work: everyone, or only fancy, oft-published scholars.
There also seems that there's a tension here: the best annotated works will be those that are popular enough to have a lot of people drop by to add annotations, but that eventually makes the novel that much slower to read as you pop back and forth between texts. (And it's kind of sad, I imagine, to see a text formatted to allow comments that no one will comment on–something like passing a wonderfully small corner store that no one ever visits.) Doctorow's work seems perfect in this respect: mid-level popularity with a dedicated (and, er, geeky) fan base that really believes in his copy-left agenda.
When I showed the DX to Wired's editor in chief, he rotated it to landscape mode to see whether it was wide enough to convey the experience of a magazine spread—it covered less than half the territory. Even the expanded screen could deliver only a shrunken facsimile. But then he took the leather binder that Amazon sells to cover the reader and flipped it open. The folio fit the open pages of Wired almost precisely. Imagine that binder crammed full of silicon and liquid crystal—that's the form factor of the future periodical.


An `Ardas Diwas' was held at Khalsa College with religious fervour to welcome the new academic session. The Kirtan was performed following the bhog of Shri Akhand Path Sahib by the students and staff which gathered in large number at the Gurdwara on the campus and they prayed for to seek blessings from almighty.
Golden Temple head Granthi Giani Jagtar Singh during his discourses stressed on the need to impart moral education to students along with conventional dissemination of knowledge. Renowned hymn singer Bhai Satinderbir Singh recited verses from Guru Granth Sahib while Khalsa College Governing Council honourary secretary Rajinder Mohan Singh Chhina said the society is infested with evils and social values are diminishing.
Chhina asked the youth to follow the path shown by our revered Gurus as he along with Principal Dr.Mehal Singh honoured the religious leaders during the function by bestowing upon them a Siropa (robe of honour). The religious function was part of the College management's tradition of seeking blessings of the almighty to start the new session. Joint Secretary Rajbir Singh, Sardool Singh Manann, Member Haminder Singh, KCE Principal Dr. JS Dhillon, KCL Principal Dr. Jaspal Singh, KCP Principal RK Dhawan, KCET Principal Dr. Amarpal Singh, KCE, Ranjit Avenue Principal Dr. SP Dhillon, KCSSS Nirmal Singh Bhangu, SGTBCW Principal Nanak Singh and Other.

Puzzles Over Certificates Issued By Health College
by Jeremiah
SendShareShare on FacebookTweet this
BY HARUNA MOHAMMED |
Umar Mohammed enrolled in the College of Health Technology, Alkaleri in Bauchi State in 2016 to study pharmacy. After two years, he was awarded a diploma in pharmacy technician. But unknown to Umar, the course was not accredited by the Pharmaceutical Council of Nigeria (PCN).
His problems started when he submitted his credentials at the Bauchi State Ministry of Health after completing a volunteer work for possible employment where he was told that his course was not accredited and cannot be hired as a substantive worker despite spending months as a volunteer health worker in the state.
He said, "I am completely demoralised and cannot continue with the volunteer work I have been doing for a long time."
Umar shares his plight alongside six other colleagues with LEADERSHIP Friday.
Umar's colleagues – Ukasha Mohammed, Abubakar Yusuf and Eleazal H. Nababa – could not hide their frustration as they narrated their ordeal. They said they were told to go back to the school to seek clarification on their certificates because they were not recognised by the statutory body in charge of the course they claimed to have studied.
"I have been completely demoralised to the extent that I cannot go back to do the volunteer work again. I can't stand before any patient to say I want to give medical assistance because I now consider myself as unqualified to do so," Kamaluddeen S. Abubakar, one of the affected graduates from Warji local government area of Bauchi State, said.

Abubakar said the school lured them into believing that "it has an affiliation with one, Jama'atu College of Health, Zaria in Kaduna State," only to discover that it was untrue after their graduation.
He said they were assured by the state government that because of their commitment to the volunteer service they offered for months, they would be considered for employment once there are openings.
"True to government's promise, we were on Monday called for a job interview by the Ministry of Health at the office of the director, Pharmacy. I am a pharmacy technician, but to our surprise, after going through our credentials, we were told that the certificates we obtained from the college in Alkaleri are not recognised by the board of the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria," Abubakar said.
He said the director advised them to go back to the school because they would not be employed with the certificates they presented.
What shocked the graduates was the manner they were treated by the proprietor of the school when they reported their discovery for the state government.
"Together with my colleagues, we went to the school to meet the proprietor who didn't show any concern to our plight, he was not remorseful, he asked us to go and take any action we could.
"We are frustrated, that's why we decided to talk to the press so that the whole world will know what we are passing through; we are not sure whether this problem has to do with us alone, there are other graduates from different courses.
"We are villagers, we sold our farmlands, grains, and other belongings in order to acquire knowledge and get its benefit, but this has ended our dreams today, I don't know where to start," Abubakar said.
For 23-year-old Abbas Saleh who hails from Warji council, they were rattled when they heard about the bad news that they would not be considered for the jobs they were hopeful of getting.
In its response, the Bauchi office of PCN said only the College of Health Technology, Ningi and Garu Islamic College of Health Technology, Bauchi, were allowed to offer courses in pharmacy.
The state officer of the council, Bakwa Nenlep said PCN usually give two accreditations for two colleges per state, "except for cities like Lagos and Kaduna where you have a lot of military formations where they recruit a lot of medical officers where there is a need for them to retrain, so we give such places more than that number."
He said in the case of Bauchi State, any college of health technology offering courses in pharmacy technician apart from the accredited two were doing so illegally.
"Malikiya College of Health Technology has applied, another school, Dr. Suleiman School of Hygiene has applied, and another school in Azare has done same, but we have never received any application from that particular school," he said.
He said the council had received rumours that the college was running the course illegally, but "we are on doing our underground investigation with the security agencies.
"They said that they are affiliated with one school in Zaria, I called my state officer in Zaria and she said that particular school in Zaria is also not accredited," Nenlep said.
Repeated efforts to get the proprietor of the school, Samaila Talba, to speak on the matter proved abortive, as he insisted that LEADERSHIP Friday should speak with the legal adviser of the school.
The legal adviser, Barrister Dahiru Abdulhamid, told our correspondent on phone that the course in question has been accredited.
"The institution in Alkaleri is affiliated to Jama'atu College of Health Technology, Zaria. The management of the college in Zaria was the one responsible for securing accreditation for all the courses. They are the ones that issue certificates," he said.
When LEADERSHIP Friday asked why the certificates were rejected by the health ministry, Barrister Abdulhamid said, "it may not be unconnected with the fact that the people in the ministry do not know much about the presence of the college in the state.
"I think that must be the reason why they doubted the authenticity of their certificates but, in reality, it is authentic, it is recognized," he insisted.

Hells Angels gang face 300 YEARS jail for Majorca 'prostitution and money laundering ring'
Submitted by THUMPERRRR on Sun, 03/31/2019 - 2:55pm
The 46 gang members face a long list of charges including belonging to a criminal organisation, money laundering, threats, forgery, prostitution, illegal detention, drug crimes and illegal possession of firearms.
The list of defendants allegedly includes two local police officers and a Guardia Civil sergeant from Palma, who face between five and seven years jail time each for criminal involvement and bribery.
Prosecutors have said the gang could face up a combined sentence of up to 300 years if they are convicted by the National Court of Justice in Madrid.

ARREST: The alleged crime boss has always denied the allegations (Pic: DPA)
The biker gangs' alleged leader was arrested in a major raid against the Majorcan Hells Angels in July 2013.
He reportedly sat for two years in Spanish custody and was released under conditions before he was allowed to leave Spain in 2017.
The alleged crime boss has always denied the allegations.
The alleged boss has reportedly since has been back to business in Hanover's red light district, according to German press.

The Spanish authorities have accused the Hells Angels of trying to turn the island of Majorca into their business centre for drug smuggling, prostitution and money laundering.
At the time of the police operation in 2013, the bikers allegedly ran several nightclubs on the Playa de Palma.
Some 200 officers took part in dawn raids on more than 30 properties as part of a two-year investigation, codenamed Operation Casablanca, involving Interpol, Europol and German, Austrian and Dutch authorities.

As well as luxury cars and motorcycles, the raids reportedly netted pistols, a sawn-off shotgun, cash and jewellery as well as drugs, including cocaine and anabolic steroids.
Spanish prosecutors have alleged young women from Eastern Europe were smuggled to Majorca and forced into prostitution.
The case will be brought before the National Court of Justice in Madrid, which is responsible for serious crimes such as organised crime.

Practice guidance on the involvement of Independent Mental Capacity Advocates (IMCAs) in safeguarding adults
Who can be represented by an IMCA ?
The regulations state that IMCAs may be instructed where local authorities or NHS bodies 'propose to take or have taken, protective measures in relation to a person ("P") who lacks capacity to agree to one or more of the measures' and where safeguarding adults proceedings have been instigated. People at risk may be supported by an IMCA regardless of any involvement of family or friends.
Under the two-stage capacity test in the MCA , the first requirement is that the person has an impairment or disturbance of the mind or brain. The second requirement is that the impairment or disturbance means that the person is unable to make the decision in question at the time it needs to be made.
Before making an instruction for safeguarding adults, it is necessary to assess the person as lacking capacity for at least one protective measure which is either being considered or has been put in place. Examples of protective measures may include (but are not limited to):
restrictions on contact with certain people
temporary or permanent moves
the police interviewing the person or collecting forensic evidence which may support a prosecution.
increased support or supervision
an application to the Court of Protection
restrictions on accessing specific services places
access to counselling or psychology with the aim of reducing the risk of further abuse.
Protective measures may constitute a deprivation of the person at risk's liberty. Where this is possibly the case, the requirements of the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards need to be followed.
There is no statutory requirement for the IMCAservice to have access to a copy of a mental capacity assessment before acting on the instruction.
Subsequent to the IMCA instruction there may be a need to undertake further mental capacity assessments. This could be because of concern about the original assessment, potentially fluctuating capacity, or protective measures being considered for which capacity has not previously been assessed.
If subsequently the person at risk is found to have capacity with regard to all the protective measures which are actively being considered, the IMCA instruction should be withdrawn. The statutory IMCA role would normally end at this point. In some cases though, where the IMCA is concerned about the decision-making process, they may still need to challenge an aspect of this. The right of challenge applies both to decisions about a lack of capacity and best interests decisions (see 'When the IMCA will stop working with the person', below).
A safeguarding alert has been raised because a home support worker is concerned that Edna, a 90-year-old woman in the early stages of dementia, is being financially abused by her nephew who until recently had had no contact with her. Because of the size of Edna's savings she pays for her own services. The safeguarding manager arranges for Mark, a social worker, to visit Edna as part of the safeguarding assessment. Edna tells Mark that she has given her nephew money because his wife is sick. She is unable to remember how much this was or what exactly it was for. Mark then undertakes an assessment with regard to Edna's capacity to manage decisions about her money. He concludes that she does not have the capacity to manage the money she is currently paying for her support costs. Because of the concerns surrounding the nephew, and knowing that otherwise Edna is very isolated, the safeguarding manager instructs an IMCA to represent Edna. They identify that a potential protective measure is to ask the Court of Protection to appoint a property and affairs deputy.
A safeguarding adult alert has been raised regarding Lei by her GP who treated some bruising. Lei refused to tell the GP how her injuries had happened. The GP suspected domestic violence and explained to Lei why they wanted to tell social services about their concerns. Despite Lei's resistance the GP shared the information on a best interests basis after assessing Lei as not having capacity to make the decision herself.
Lei has learning disabilities and her boyfriend Glen moved into her flat about six months ago. Glen is himself known to social services and does not have learning disabilities. Lei currently receives two hours support a week to help her with shopping and budgeting. Because Glen is known to have a history of violence this support is no longer provided in their home.
The safeguarding manager discusses options with the local police. Subsequently they arrange for Joan, her social worker, to visit Lei together with the support worker as part of the safeguarding strategy. Joan asks Lei about the bruising and she responds by saying she didn't want to get into trouble with Glen. Lei then tells them both to get out of her flat before he comes back. Joan is very concerned by this visit and believes that Lei is frightened of her partner. She is also surprised by the very unhygienic conditions she found in the flat which was not an issue prior to Glen moving in.
Joan reports her visit to the safeguarding manager. She also suggests that an IMCA should be involved as she knows that Lei has a very strained relationship with her family and there are no other suitable advocacy services available locally. The safeguarding manager explains that the criteria to instruct an IMCA have not been met since there has not been a mental capacity assessment with regard to any proposed protective measures.
The safeguarding manager identifies that instigating proceedings to evict Glen from the flat needs to be considered as well as taking more urgent action. Lei holds the tenancy for the flat and one of the conditions is that no one else should live there unless this is approved by the housing association – which has not happened. They ask Joan to go back and assess Lei's capacity to understand that she has the power to ask Glen to leave and if she does whether she wants him to. This time Joan arranges to meet Lei away from the flat which provides a much better opportunity to undertake the assessment. Joan concludes that Lei does lack capacity to decide whether Glen lives in the flat. An IMCA is subsequently instructed.
Good practice points
Before instructing an IMCA , potential protective measures should be identified.
The person's incapacity to agree to at least one of the proposed protective measures needs to be established prior to the instruction of an IMCA .
Subsequent to the IMCA instruction there may be a need to undertake further mental capacity assessments.
If the person is subsequently found to have capacity with regard to all protective measures being actively considered, the IMCA instruction should be withdrawn.

Voters face polling day triple whammy including new photo ID law
Posted On 20 Jan 2023 at 8:11 pm
By : Sarah Booker-Lewis, local democracy reporter
Many voters face a triple whammy on election day in May with new wards, new locations for a number of polling stations and new voter ID rules taking effect, a councillor said.
Labour councillor Amanda Evans warned of the potential for chaos as a Brighton and Hove City Council committee approved the arrangements for the local area.
On Thursday 4 May, all 54 seats on the council will be up for election although those elected will represent 23 wards rather than the current 21.
The shake up includes name changes for some wards, some boundary changes and newly created wards and a rethink about where polling stations are located.
At the same time, new rules mean that voters will have to produce photo identification (ID) such as a passport or driving licence – or a new "voter authority certificate".
The council's Policy and Resources Committee was told that most polling stations tend to a 15-minute walk or less from the furthest house or flat in the area that they serve.
But Councillor Evans said that some voters in the new Rottingdean and West Saltdean ward faced a 24-minute walk to vote.
In the new Westdene and Hove Park ward, she said, some voters would face a 28-minute walk.
And in the new Whitehawk and Marine ward, those furthest inland would face a 21-minute walk or have to go by bus to their nearest polling station.
Conservative councillor Alistair McNair said that two polling stations in the new Patcham and Hollingbury ward would also be more than 15 minutes' walk for a number of voters.
Councillor Evans said: "I'm concerned about voter ID. I've yet to come across a member of the public that knows there's going to be a requirement for ID.
"I appreciate the council is going to communicate three times between January and May. I'm concerned that people who don't have the right ID will be able to get a voter authority certificate from the council. I would like to know about it."
Councillor Amanda Evans
The Green leader of the council Phélim Mac Cafferty said that he had written to the Cabinet Office to raise local concerns.
Councillor Mac Cafferty said: "A key loophole in the voter ID scandal is they seem very tight on one end of the spectrum but on postal voting – where there has been some fraud – you don't need ID.
"You could actually not have to walk to the polling station and not necessarily present a form of identity by using postal voting. That could be all of our suggestions to our constituents in the upcoming period."
Conservative councillor Steve Bell said that voters commonly used photo ID in European Union countries as well as in Northern Ireland.
The government published photo ID information on Monday (16 January) and Brighton and Hove City Council is writing to residents in three wards as part of a pilot project.
Councillor Steve Bell
Councillors were told that not all councils were writing to voters. But after the pilot, Brighton and Hove City Council planned to write to all electors.
The council also has email addresses for 70 per cent of registered voters, it said, and they would be used to flag up the changes.
The new photo ID law permits people to use passports, driving licences, older people's and disabled bus passes, PASS cards, EEA identity cards and biometric resident's permits.
To apply for a "voter authority certificate" on the government website, people need to have a recent digital photograph and a national insurance number.
Christopher Hawtree 20 January 2023 at 8.25pm Reply
The need for voter indentification means that more people will opt for a postal vote, and so the cost per voter of a Polling Station will increase, which means that all-postal votes will soon become the thing across the country – with the greater problems that these will cause.
Life is changing incredibly quickly, and residents are becoming unnerved, I find.
There are no certainties this side of the grave: which is the one certainty, and the price of that increases.
Peter Challis 21 January 2023 at 8.27am Reply
Thanks for this – I'm so worried about the forthcoming elections as to having to take my photo ID with me, as they have done since 1983 in Northern Ireland and almost every other country worldwide requires voters to have.
Perhaps your Green Party friends will try to claim this as the reason why they are ousted in May rather than even ignoring the needs of residents, visitors, businesses, and non-cyclists whilst they waste our taxes on vanity projects.
I guess they'll be going round the campuses again getting students to give them proxy voting authority?
Hector John Ktorides 21 January 2023 at 1.10am Reply
Hopefully it will deter the students and Brighton and Hove finally get elected the party the residents want and not the legacy the students leave behind for us to suffer with for four years! Keeping my fingers cross that The Greens go to the bottom of the list followed by not to be trusted Labour.
Casual Writer 21 January 2023 at 6.59am Reply
How will it deter students? Most have a provisional driving licence to get into night clubs.
Stephen Smith 21 January 2023 at 10.24am Reply
So you're saying that people can only vote if they vote for the party you support?
Christopher Hawtree 21 January 2023 at 11.22am Reply
Are you working for the secret police? How, otherwise, do you know who votes for whom?
Nathan Adler 21 January 2023 at 9.20am Reply
Photo ID is totally pointless. Electoral fraud is very rare in the UK. The irony is in order to get around photo ID you can still use a postal vote, which has been argued is where most voter fraud occurs.
Peter Challis 21 January 2023 at 5.16pm Reply
Without Voter ID how do you know that electoral fraud is very rare?
Mick 22 January 2023 at 9.26am Reply
Peter and your other activist chums, do you have any evidence to suggest it's not rare? As advocates for introducing voter ID, the requirement is on you to prove it's required, not the other way round.
Nathan said that voter fraud was rare, but unless you check how do you know? How was any voter fraud identified previously?
According to this it was people reporting suspicious activity rather than varifying that the person voting was who they said they were. https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/who-we-are-and-what-we-do/our-views-and-research/our-research/electoral-fraud-data/2019-electoral-fraud-data
It could be rife, so requiring ID, as required in Northern Ireland since 1983, and in almost all countries worldwide seems entirely sensible.
Why are you against such checks? Does the party you support rely on fraudulent voting?
Clive 24 January 2023 at 3.19pm
I'll tell you how you know fraud has happened: where a person has impersonated someone else, when that someone else turns up to vote it suddenly becomes rather obvious …
There were literally a handful of such cases documented at the 2019 general election, and as it says at the head of the link you have helpfully provided:
"The UK has low levels of proven electoral fraud.
There remains no evidence of large-scale electoral fraud in 2019."
The reason this is coming in is because the UK Conservatives have looked across the pond and see how well voter suppression measures have worked for the US Republicans. It's about discouraging those disposed to vote for your opponents from turning up.
In a word: cheating.
The only comfort is that that Tories are now polling so badly thanks to serial examples of dishonesty and economic mismanagement that it's not going to work.
bradly23 22 January 2023 at 7.51pm Reply
"15-minute city" here we come = voter will have to prove how they got there = no ferrying the voters to the polling station = or have i got my conspiracy theories mixed up?
Probably – and don't forget a 15 minute city means a maximum of 7.5 minutes walking each way so you'll need a polling station within about 600 yds/metres of your home.
Same applies to shops, dentists, doctors and schools 😉

Languages in the UK: a call for action
From the British Academy, the Academy of Medical Sciences, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society
The four national academies state that the prospect of Brexit 'makes it even more important for the UK to have the languages needed to forge wider commercial and other links'.
Backed by the Royal Society, the Academy of Medical Sciences, and the Royal Academy of Engineering, this statement from the British Academy says that the prospect of Brexit 'makes it even more important for the UK to have the languages needed to forge wider commercial and other links'.
The four national academies say that the UK's poor language capacity has resulted in the loss of economic, social, cultural, and research opportunities. The economic cost of the UK's linguistic underperformance in terms of lost trade and investment has been estimated at 3.5% of GDP.
The call is directed at government but also business, policymakers and social organisations. A UK strategy for languages would coordinate with existing ones in Scotland and Wales and build on current policies in England and Northern Ireland. It will be followed up later in the year by detailed proposals. The national academies call on the Government to adopt and implement a national strategy for languages and engage with a coalition of organisations who stand ready and willing to help implement it
