Ever wondered why it took until 2015 for Emoji's to include a wider range of skin-tones? Or why it took up until 2019 for Emoji's to include options for a wheelchair, hearing aid and white cane users? It all, or mostly, boils down to inclusive design, albeit, a lack of, in the tech industry.
Initially, a term coined throughout the study of design, the concept itself has quite a substantial background. While there's varying explanations of the term, the core basis, and its purpose remains a common factor; enabling the engagement of all.
We've found throughout time that many products and services fail to provide seamless usability for individuals (see Infrared gate, photo-apps, stock photos, apple watch gate and more). It's important for both the providers of products and services to ensure the range of users that can, with satisfaction, utilise products is as broad as possible. The question is, however, how do we, as either individual entrepreneurs, small businesses, large businesses and general members of the design process ensure this?
It all starts with the innovation and development process of products and services. As an example, let's consider the process of building an app for digital banking (picture a service similar to Monzo or N26). Now, we know the beginning of any innovation and design process starts with the innovators, the designers, the developers of the ideas and those who ensure the project, in the form of the service or product, is built effectively and seamlessly comes together.
In the case of an app and roughly speaking, this would likely include a product owner (responsible for adding value to the product), a scrum master or project manager (responsible for owning the 'process' and overseeing communication between the product owner and developers) and lastly, the developers, those who actually "build" the app.
Taking this into account, the delivery of an app has a large network of stakeholders. If we can ensure this network is as effectively diverse, we can ensure that ideas related to the app or product itself are inclusive of a diverse range of perspectives. It's not necessary to provide the exact same user experience for every user of an app. Acknowledging that slight adjustments are required depending on the user's characteristics is almost vital to achieving a universally successful app. An example would be ensuring that an app is adjustable to the needs of users that are visually impaired or may have a hearing impairment. The reality is, not EVERY user of an app has 'perfect' vision or hearing. A service that is meant to be used by all, should also be usable by all and this is exactly why we should recognise the importance of representing all during every step of design and production.
Individuals of different backgrounds inhibit different experiences and can, therefore, raise a better variety of requirements. These contributions can assist in creating an improved, well-rounded product or service.
In an age where we're gradually grasping the concept of why representation matters, we need to ensure we're all on the same mark and on the same board, the tech industry proves an interesting example, almost a contradiction in a sense as we view technology as a martyr of progression, yet somehow, it is an industry that is still behind in other aspects and has a very long way to go.

Hospital Midwives Seek Right to Certify False Labor : EMTALA's guidelines leave it up to the hospital to determine whether doctors should examine the patient.
WASHINGTON — Federal regulations should recognize the expertise of nurse-midwives in certifying false-labor cases in the hospital, Deanne Williams, a certified nurse-midwife, testified at a meeting of the Department of Health and Human Services technical advisory group on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act.
Under EMTALA, "only a physician is recognized to certify that a woman who presents to a hospital for evaluation is actually experiencing false labor," said Ms. Williams, executive director of the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM). In the college's view, the regulation fails to acknowledge the scope of practice under which certified nurse-midwives and certified midwives are authorized to treat patients, she said.
"Midwives have a very long history of working collaboratively with physicians to provide women's health care, with a particular focus on care during the maternity cycle," Ms. Williams said, adding that midwives attend more than 10% of the vaginal births in the United States, and 98% of the births attended by midwives occur in hospitals.
EMTALA's requirement for physician certification "places unnecessary costs on the hospital, which is required to take physicians away from other matters to certify that the woman is in false labor, when a certified nurse-midwife or certified midwife is also licensed to make that decision," Ms. Williams testified.
While EMTALA regulations require a signed certification that a woman is experiencing false labor and may be discharged, "there is no requirement in the regulations that a physician must personally examine the patient," noted one advisory group member, Charlotte Yeh, M.D., who is an emergency physician and the CMS regional administrator for Region I in Boston.
The law's interpretive guidelines explain further that a physician must be contacted by the qualified medical professional—i.e. nurse-midwife—to ensure that the woman with contractions has false labor. The guidelines leave it up to the individual hospitals to determine whether physicians should personally examine the patient, she said.
The issue before the technical advisory group is whether the latitude provided by EMTALA's interpretive guidelines is sufficient to protect patients, yet recognizes the value that nurse-midwives bring to labor and delivery, Dr. Yeh told this newspaper. "Or, the [technical advisory group] could say that the regulations are too prescriptive, and that certification should be removed altogether, letting individual hospitals decide who's qualified to determine emergency medical conditions" in patients.
It's clear that ACNM's request "would necessitate a change," David Siegel, M.D., an emergency and internal medicine physician in Tampa, Fla., and the panel's chairman, indicated.
Dr. Siegel asked that the panel seek formal input from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and other appropriate medical specialty organizations on their policies regarding this issue.
Warren Jones, M.D., Medicaid director for the state of Mississippi and a past president of the American Academy of Family Physicians, emphasized that the panel should seek input from the AAFP on this issue.
"There needs to be a recognition that ob.gyns. are not the only physicians who deliver babies and provide maternity care. Family physicians do a lot of that. Many of them work with nurse-midwives, and many of them provide it in rural areas where it's really needed," Dr. Jones said in an interview with this newspaper.
The advisory committee also will need to consider that in some states, nurse-midwives are already recognized as qualified to determine false labor, Dr. Yeh said. What the nurse-midwives want is for those qualifications to be recognized by CMS, she said.
Robert Bitterman, M.D., a representative of the American College of Emergency Physicians, and a participant at the meeting, noted that the regulations might not have to be changed at all.
"If you hearken back to the actual statute, the word 'labor' does not appear anywhere in the definition of an emergency medical physician in EMTALA. Therefore, whether someone is in actual labor or in false labor, is entirely irrelevant," he stated.
Therefore, it's perfectly appropriate under EMTALA for nurses, physicians, family physicians, or pathologists to perform the screening exam if they're the ones designated by the hospital to make those types of decisions, he said.
"It's a myth to think that physicians and hospitals don't send home patients if they have active labor. We do it every day because it's an early active labor, and because it's safe to do so—and it meets the elements of the statute," Dr. Bitterman said.

How should we respond to racial bias and stereotypes in the criminal justice system?
By Jalal Chohan on Feb 10 2022 11:23am
The problem has to be confronted from more than one direction, writes bar student Jalal Chohan
At the death of George Floyd, the world stood in silence and solidarity. Social media plunged into darkness. The scorn of racial injustice confronted us once again. Every few decades a prodigious three-word slogan is born, protests erupt, and leaders rise to the challenge of addressing racial inequality. There is no doubt that we have come a long way but still, not quite far enough.
"No free man shall be seized or imprisoned […] except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land."
Article 39 — Magna Carta, 1215
The Magna Carta although intended for English nobility paved the way for our current laws on human rights and equality. Almost a thousand years on and the social landscape of the United Kingdom has changed tremendously and despite our achievements, several challenges are yet to be overcome. Laws have been passed, reports written, and commissions established yet the idea of utopian equality remains out of reach.
The purpose of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 is to "avoid discriminating against any persons on the grounds of race, sex or any other improper ground" and since its passage successive governments have published data on ethnicity and the criminal justice system.
In 2017 David Lammy MP published the Lammy Review, an independent review of the treatment of, and outcomes for, Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) individuals in the criminal justice system.
The Lammy Review found evidence of bias and discrimination against people from ethnic minority backgrounds in the justice system in England and Wales.
In 2019 a Black person was 4.3 times more likely to be stopped and searched, over three times more likely to be arrested, three times more likely to be prosecuted, 2.8 times more likely to be convicted and 3.3 times more likely to be given a custodial sentence than a White person.
Statistics and facts from the police
The Lammy Review found: "In particular, Black men were more than three times more likely to be arrested than White men, whilst Black women and Black boys were also significantly more likely to be arrested than White women and boys" and "those from BAME groups were three times as likely to be stopped and searched as those who are White. In particular, those who are Black were over six times more likely to be stopped."
Consequently, cases progressed through the police, CPS, courts and prison system are skewed unevenly from the first stage of the process — with the police. The alarming stop and search statistics and arrest rates around the UK have been apparent for years and the improvement of trust in the criminal justice system requires change at the stage of police investigation.
Black people are clearly pursued more by the police than their White counterparts. This leads naturally to more arrests, more convictions and more custodial sentences.
A solution to the problem is to scrutinise the apparent over-policing of BAME communities. The Independent Office for Police Conduct which oversees the police complaints system in England and Wales has pledged to launch "race discrimination as a thematic area of focus to establish the trends and patterns which might help drive real change in policing practice".
Currently the majority of complaints about the police are dealt with by the police force itself. The IOPC intends to investigate more cases where police forces are alleged to victimise BAME people but the IOPC will not be able to independently assess the nearly 32,000 complaints a year. These complaints should be dealt with independently to effectively discourage discriminatory practices and ensure accountability.
Another proposed solution to the problem was a more diverse and representative police force. In 1999 the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry (also known as the Macpherson Report) was published. It set targets for police forces around the UK to have the same proportion of BAME officers in their ranks as the communities they serve. Over two decades later the police is nowhere near reaching those targets and BAME people remain underrepresented in the police force.

Statistics and facts on sentencing profiling and the legal profession
More than 13% of the general population in the United Kingdom identify as being from a BAME background, yet BAME people account for a quarter of our prison population (Lammy Review, 2017). There are several reasons for this; one of which is the often-reported lack of trust BAME people have for the judiciary.
Only 8% of judges in the UK are of a BAME background, and with a BAME population of around 13% in the UK, the judiciary has repeatedly been slammed as being unrepresentative of society. A diverse judiciary brings equality of opportunity, democratic legitimacy and a substantive difference to decision making. An unrepresentative judiciary undermines the trust in our justice system. This is especially so when prison sentences for BAME people are 240% higher than their White counterparts for drugs offences (Lammy Review, 2017).
In order to promote judicial diversity, there is a need to support applications from a wide and diverse pool of well-qualified candidates from the legal profession. Steps are being taken to increase diversity such as the Judicial Work Shadowing Scheme which offers eligible legal practitioners, who are considering a career in judicial office, an insight into the work of a judge.
The legal profession which comprises both barristers and solicitors is the major source of the judiciary of the future. Currently, the proportion of BAME practising lawyers in law firms in the UK is estimated to be around 17%, far higher than the percentage of BAME people in the UK (13%) and the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) expects this to translate into increased diversity in the judiciary.
The MoJ should endorse measures such as publicly-stated targets for selection bodies, with monitoring and reporting on progress to the Justice Select Committee and time-limited quotas as recommended by the Lammy Review. The Judicial Diversity Committee was established to ensure greater diversity and the judicial office is working with the Judicial Appointments Commission to review and improve selection processes.
Further to current measures, there is a need for sustained training on both conscious and unconscious bias in the judiciary to reduce disparities in sentencing. Currently, judges and magistrates do receive training and guidance in unconscious bias from the Equal Treatment Bench Book concerning all minority groups.
Possible solution: ethnicity pay gap reporting
Gender pay gap reporting is now mandatory under the Equality Act 2010 and is having a gradual impact on decision making and career progression.
Ethnicity pay gap reporting should also be a mandatory requirement as data suggests BAME people currently hold just 4.6% of the top management roles. Greater diversity in the top positions will be a natural consequence of diverse recruitment however change in the senior parts of professions will take time. The top positions in many fields including the criminal justice system remain unrepresentative of society.
Possible issues with mandatory reporting
Mirroring an approach such as gender pay gap reporting presents its own issues. Firstly, there are currently no penalties for failing to report gender pay gap data and companies with less than 250 employees are exempt. Attempting to ensure diversity in the majority of law firms and chambers would be difficult if organisations with less than 250 employees are to be exempt.
Secondly, there could be some trouble in setting target figures given BAME populations aren't evenly distributed geographically. This could be overcome by establishing specific targets by area or location.
Finally, ethnicity is largely self-reported and the term BAME is a wide term which encompasses a huge variety of people from many different ethnic backgrounds. Effective reporting of specific ethnicities would be difficult and introducing mandatory ethnicity reporting to the Equality Act 2010 would have its challenges. Legislating on this issue could be extremely effective in improving equality but it can equally be drafted so lazily as to be obsolete. Regardless of the challenges it is proposed to be a necessary step towards greater diversity in the criminal justice system and in society generally.
Increasing diversity, ensuring thorough education throughout the criminal justice system about the harms and effects of racial bias, improving social diversity and effective accountability are all necessary solutions.
The problem is circular, racial stereotypes drive inequality and inequality fuels and helps entrench stereotypes. Solutions can only be properly effective if the problem is confronted from more than one direction.
Fighting inequality is an uphill battle. The statue of Lady Justice stands above the Central Criminal Court in London, she is the personification of justice and fairness in the UK. She doesn't (like her counterparts around the world) wear a blindfold. Her message is clear: justice, fairness and impartiality should not require closed or covered eyes.

Hi Bart, ethnic minorities still should be treated fairly in court and whilst in police custody.
They are in fact innocent, until a jury says they aren't.
Being born into an ethnic minority need not mean someone is necessarily going to grow up to be a criminal as an adult.
Hope this help.

Hello all. This week on the Global Design Project page we are doing a theme challenge, "A day in the park". With spring upon us I am sure we are all ready for some pretty outdoor weather. We might have some in my neck of the woods if it ever stops raining on the weekend. As I was making this card there were dark clouds, rain, thunder and lighting. At one point the lights even flickered. Thank goodness it has past.
So on to the good stuff. This theme was a perfect timing for me. My co-worker and the guy she is dating are cyclist. They are preparing to ride in the MS150 in a couple of weeks that goes from Houston to Austin. I thought I would use the stamp set "Bike Ride" as this has been on my mind lately.
All of the images except the tree are actually stamped and cut out with the coordinating framelits. I used sublets collection designer series paper to mimic the sky and grass. Them I stamped the tree and leaves on the DSP and layered all the die cut pieces on top. It makes a bright, happy seen.
For the envelope and image inside the card I stamped off the tree & leaves for a lighter image. This stamp set is fun to play with because there are a lot of little stamps for double stamping the pieces and parts of the bicycle and accessories.
Let me a comment below and let me know what your day at the park would look like.
Before I sign off I wanted to say thank you to the design team over at the GDP for the Special Mention I received last week. I was really exciting. If you didn't get to check out last weeks project you can click this link, GDP182, to view the blog post.

BOC opposes changes to commercial fisherman definition
By Linda M. Cain
Published 3:25 pm Wednesday, February 28, 2018
Currituck's Board of Commissioners joined the efforts of other coastal counties in the state to oppose the North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission's proposal to change the definition of commercial fisherman.
During its first meeting this month, the board unanimously passed a resolution, that reads in part that the Marine Fisheries Commission is considering a ". . . requirement that those holding commercial fishing licenses must have 50 percent of their earned income from the Trip Ticket Program, generate 36 Trip Tickets per year and that those who do not have Trip Tickets to show proof of $10,000 or more income per year . . ."
The resolution points out that ". . . no other professional license issued by the state dictates a percentage of income or minimum income requirement or level of participation in order to qualify . . ." It is also noted that in 2010 Marine Fisheries created a task force to look at the requirements for holding a commercial fishing license and that task force found no need to redefine commercial fisherman.
The resolution contains the board's strong opposition to changing the definition, contending a change would have a harmful effect on commercial fishermen, ". . . who already suffer because of government overregulation that imposes severe quotas and unnecessary restrictions on fishing seasons, limits, and gear forcing many to take on additional jobs and engage in part time businesses in order to responsibly support their families . . ."
In other items taken up during the meeting, the topic of beach driving has been causing some telephones to ring and popped up during the meeting. County manager Dan Scanlon took the opportunity to report that a proposal is scheduled to be presented at the board's second meeting this month. And, to clear up what seems to be the biggest concern, both Scanlon and board chairman Bobby Hanig explained that residents and property owners will not have to pay a fee for a permit to use the beach.
On a question from commissioner Mary Etheridge, Scanlon explained that a $111,000 budget amendment for the Sheriff's Office is for vehicles and equipment for patrolling the beach, funded by the Occupancy Tax. Included will be three Jeeps, that Scanlon explained will provide better transport than an ATV, particularly when people are taken into custody. The manager added that the request was delayed while the board considered the beach permit proposal.
The board also authorized Captain Sam B. Casey and Deputy Christopher Doxey of the Sheriff's Office to purchase their service weapons for $1 upon their retirements.
The board also authorized that K-9 Kido, a nine year old Belgian Melinois, be retired to his handler Deputy Jeremy Evans.
The board agreed for the county and the Crawford Volunteer Fire Department to discuss the county financing the department's purchase of a used fire engine, in the amount of $250,000.
The board voted its support for HB 551/SB 595, called "Marsy's Law" to ensure that ". . . victims receive the same rights that are afforded to criminals and have rights to notification of release, hearings, appropriate restitution and the right to speak during criminal proceedings . . ."
Chairman Hanig and commissioner Marion Gilbert both commended those honored at a recent Moyock Volunteer Fire Department awards banquet, as Hanig noted that one young member of the department had 3,800 volunteer hours.
Commissioner Mike Payment reported that Lower Currituck VFD, that he is a member of, has a banquet coming up and encouraged citizens to volunteer at the departments, explaining that are numerous opportunities besides fighting fires.
Commissioner Gilbert also commended the Moyock Women's Club for its recent event that raised money for the county's food pantries.
During public comment at the start of the meeting, Moyock resident Doris Flora asked about the progress on the county's park in Moyock. With plans and drawings already in-hand, Scanlon responded that it is a matter of identifying funds to move the estimated $6 million 25-acre park forward in the budget.
Also during public comment, Corolla resident Ed Cornet told the commissioners they need to get their facts straight and have an open debate about problems and solutions on the county's Outer Banks, pointing to crowded stores in the summer, beach erosion and competition from Dare County beaches.
As it has done in the past, the board authorized the county to contract with CT Mechanical, Inc., commissioner Payment's company. Certain restrictions apply by law, including that the amount of work done in one year not exceed $40,000. Payment recused himself from the item.
Elizabeth White was appointed to the Albemarle Commission.
The commissioners also sat as the Tourism Development Authority and approved budget amendments including $2,450 to repair damage from frozen pipes at the public restrooms at the Whalehead Club.
Giving the invocation at the start of the meeting was Rev. Susan Fitch-Slater, pastor of Sharon United Methodist Church in Poplar Branch, that was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

DEARBORN, Mich., May 3, 2010 – Ford continued to post strong sales and market share gains in April, with Ford, Lincoln and Mercury dealers delivering 162,996 new vehicles in April – a 25 percent increase versus a year ago. It marks the fifth month in a row Ford sales have increased more than 20 percent. Year-to-date sales totaled 591,592, up 34 percent.
In April, Ford retail sales were up 32 percent versus a year ago, and Ford gained retail market share for the 18th time in the last 19 months. Fleet sales were up 13 percent. Ford is benefiting from a fresh lineup of new, high-quality, fuel-efficient vehicles delivering industry-leading levels of safety and smart design.
On average, resale values of Ford vehicles have increased 23 percent versus last year, outpacing the industry average by 4 percentage points, according to the latest North American Dealers Association auction data. Ford vehicles now have the fewest number of defects of any full-line manufacturer and the highest customer satisfaction with vehicle quality among all major automakers, according to a first quarter study by RDA Group of Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
Once again, sales were higher throughout Ford's lineup in April – continuing a trend that began in December. Cars were up 10 percent versus a year ago, utilities were up 33 percent, and trucks were up 38 percent. Among brands, Ford sales were up 26 percent, Lincoln sales were up 22 percent and Mercury sales were up 19 percent.
Ford Fusion, Motor Trend's Car of the Year, set an April sales record of 18,971, up 4 percent versus the previous record set last year. Fusion has set monthly sales records in 12 of the last 13 months, and sales have been up 13 months in a row. Mercury Milan sales were up 36 percent, its sixth consecutive monthly sales increase.
Ford Taurus sales totaled 6,166 in April, almost double year-ago levels (up 99 percent). Ford Focus sales were up 21 percent.
With sales of 40,946, Ford's F-Series posted a 42 percent sales increase in April. Ford's leadership position in the truck market is strengthened by the arrival of the 2011 model F-Series Super Duty – the most capable, fuel-efficient heavy-duty pickup in the industry. In April, sales of the all-new 2011 Super Duty were more than double Ford's plan for the month. F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for 33 years in a row and best-selling vehicle (car or truck) for 28 years in a row. F-Series sales have increased five months in a row, and April's increase was the largest.
Utility vehicles also posted strong sales increases. Ford Escape set an April sales record of 19,146, up 41 percent. Ford Edge sales were up 18 percent (its seventh straight monthly increase), Ford Flex sales were a record for April and up 22 percent, and Mercury Mariner sales were up 24 percent (its fourth monthly increase in a row). Sales for traditional SUVs (Ford Explorer, Mercury Mountaineer, Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator) also were higher than a year ago.
Sales for Ford's E-Series van (Econoline/Club Wagon) were up 15 percent versus a year ago. E-Series has been America's best-selling full-size van for 31 years.
Sales of the new Ford Transit Connect small commercial van totaled 2,229 in April – its highest sales month ever. ADT Security Services, the world's largest electronic security provider, plans to place an order for 3,000 Transit Connects, representing half of its North American fleet. This move will save ADT an estimated $5.3 million annually in fuel costs while reducing carbon emissions. In a separate announcement, the city of Boston last week became the first municipality in America to approve the Transit Connect cab for taxi use. Meanwhile, the production of the battery-electric Transit Connect begins later this year.
The company's hybrid vehicles (Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner) posted sales of 2,726 in April, up 19 percent versus a year ago. Year-to-date, the company's hybrid sales totaled 9,742, up 55 percent. Ford has sold approximately 130,000 hybrid vehicles in the U.S. and is America's largest domestic hybrid company. In addition, Ford has sold more than 10,000 vehicles equipped with its V-6 EcoBoost engine technology.

Q: Taking average of certain values in one Excel column based on values in another I have a (large) array of data in Excel of which I need to compute the average value of certain values in one column, based on the values of another column. For example, here's a snippet of my data:

So specifically, I want to take the average of the F635 mean values corresponding with Row values of 1. To take it a step further, I want this to continue to Row values of 2, Row values of 3 etc.
I'm not familiar with how to run code in Excel but have attempted to solve this by using the following:
=IF($C = "1", AVERAGE($D:$D), "")

which (to my understanding) can be interpreted as "if the values (anywhere) in column C are equal to 1, then take the average of the corresponding values in column D."
Of course, as I try this I get a formula error from Excel.
Any guidance would be incredibly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A: Excel already has a builtin function for exactly this use; AVERAGEIF().
=AVERAGEIF(C:C,1,D:D)

A: For more complicated cases, I would use an array-formula. This one is simple enough for the AVERAGEIF formula. For instance =AVERAGEIF(A1:A23;1;B1:B23)
Array-formula allows for more elaborate ifs. To replicate the above, you could do =SUM(IF($A$1:$A$23=1;$B$1:$B$23;0))/COUNT(IF($A$1:$A$23=1;$B$1:$B$23;0)).
Looks like more work but you can create extremely elaborate if-statements. Instead of hitting ENTER, do CTRL-ENTER when entering the formula. Use * between criteria to replicate AND or + for OR. Example: SUM(IF(($A$1:$A$23="apple")*($B$1:$B$23="green");$C$1:$C$23;0)) tallies values for green apples in c1:c23.
Your sample data includes three columns with potential ifs so my guess is that you're going to need array formulas at some point.

SRH sector join forces and call on SoS Jeremy Hunt to strengthen local authorities' SRH mandate
Posted 18 April 2018
Date: 18 Apr 2018
Type: FSRH Press Releases and Statements
Key SRH and public health stakeholders such as FSRH, BASHH, BHIVA, FPH, NAT, THT, FPA and Brook have sent an open letter to Secretary of State Jeremy Hunt highlighting the challenges currently faced by the sector.
The open letter puts forward a set of recommendations, including fully-funded SRH services based on the needs of the population; delivery of SRH services by local authorities in accordance with nationally recognised standards such as FSRH, BASHH and the new BHIVA standards; enhanced accountability mechanisms, among others.
The letter comes in the footsteps of a call for evidence launched by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) on the impact of local authority public health prescribed activity. It is now over four years since public health duties transferred back to local authorities, and the Government wants to take stock of the regulations to consider whether the current arrangements set out in the 2013 regulations will, in the future, be fit for purpose. This is given added relevance by the announcement in December 2017 that the Government intends to replace the ring-fenced public health grant with local authorities' own business rates retention funding from 2020.
Read the letter in full:
The Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP
SW1H 0EU
Dear Secretary of State,
Sexual and reproductive health sector call to strengthen the public health framework
The sexual and reproductive health (SRH) sector strongly welcomes the Government's call for evidence on the impacts of the current prescribing regulations for local authority public health activity. This is a much-needed stock-take of the existing framework following the radical changes resulting from the 2012 Health and Social Care Act which transferred public health responsibilities from the NHS to local authorities.
We represent hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals who work within the current public health framework as well as service users and the general population whose needs must be considered first and foremost in public health policy.
The implementation of the existing public health framework has brought challenges, and these have undoubtedly been exacerbated by significant cuts to the public health grant. Financial pressures have impacted on local authorities' ability to even maintain the current levels of service provision, and evidence points out that budget reductions are leading to unacceptable variation in the quality and quantity of services available to the public.
Strengthening the SRH mandate by enhancing the scope of prescribed activity and accountability mechanisms is vital to ensuring that key services are consistently provided across the country. However, much remains to be done to tackle regional inequalities. Cuts, coupled with fragmented commissioning, have had a severe impact on access to contraception, including emergency contraception. They are also undermining the delivery of effective sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention, testing and treatment services, which is especially concerning considering the recent explosion in syphilis rates and the continued spread of antibiotic-resistant gonorrhoea. The significant pressures caused by the cuts are limiting patient access to SRH services across the country and are ultimately jeopardising health outcomes as a result.
Non-prescribed public health activities have faced significant service cuts too (for example, HIV prevention funding in areas of high prevalence dropped by a third in two years). This strongly suggests that any potential removal of the public health grant ring-fence will inevitably lead to further redistribution of funds to other equally-as-pressured parts of the system. We are also concerned that the proposal to fund public health through locally retained business rates in 2020 could compound health inequalities in socio-economically deprived areas. With increasing uncertainty surrounding local authority financing, it is vital that the public health framework is strengthened to ensure that SRH services are truly open-access and available to all, so that health inequalities are not deepened.
We would therefore like to bring to DHSC's attention a common set of recommendations agreed on by the SRH sector which are important to strengthen the effectiveness of the SRH mandate:
1. That sexual and reproductive healthcare services are fully-funded based on the needs of the population.
2. SRH services must be delivered by local authorities in accordance with nationally recognised standards in SRH, such as FSRH, BASHH and the new BHIVA standards, guaranteeing high-quality SRH care. These standards should be expressly referred to in the mandate to protect services from being compromised by cuts to budgets and politicisation at local authority level. We would particularly like to see DHSC and PHE collaborate on strengthening the SRH mandate for use at the local authority level.
3. For tools to be developed to support local authorities to assess the impact of their prescribed activities on health inequalities, such as inequality impact assessments.
4. DHSC to ensure that joint working happens in practice, supporting local authorities and Clinical Commissioning Groups with their SRH commissioning responsibilities in line with the collaborative and whole-system approach to commissioning outlined in PHE's 'Making it work: a guide to whole system commissioning for sexual health, reproductive health and HIV'.
5. Given the APPG for Sexual & Reproductive Health's Inquiry findings that there is a lack of clarity with regards to accountability in the current system, that existing accountability mechanisms are enhanced, enabling the Secretary of State to hold local authorities to account in their devolved delivery of his public health responsibilities.
6. That PHE has stronger enforcement powers to enable the agency to act on the findings and analyses it produces and to hold local authorities and commissioners to account for their performance.
7. Accountability lines must be further developed if the business rates retention system is introduced in 2020, with further consultation in this regard.
We are clear that changes are needed to make the public health regulations work now, and to ensure that they are fit for the future. We urge the Government to consult further on specific changes and to do so in the context of clear proposals for how public health responsibilities will be funded in the future. It is essential that the sector has further opportunity to scrutinise the framework in this context.
Finally, we strongly encourage the Department to take fully into account the detailed recommendations set forth in our individual responses.

There are literally thousands of downloadable games available for Microsoft's home consoles, including triple AAA titles, but don't forget to also check out titles available via the Xbox Arcade and Xbox Indie Channels.
You can buy many top titles from the comfort of your own sofa via your Xbox console – these are known as Games on Demand. Once you buy a title online, you only have to wait as long as it takes for a title to download, rather than wait for delivery of a physical copy or having to venture out to the store. You also don't have to worry about changing discs for lengthier games, and because the title is tied to your Xbox Live account you also need never worry about losing your game! Expect to pay top dollar for these titles on release, but during sales, you can pick up a bargain!
The Xbox Arcade is home to hundreds of titles, normally from smaller publishers, and also includes plenty of classic games from yesteryear that you actually can't buy in stores. Some of the more famous examples available through Xbox Arcade includes Minecraft, Terraria and Fruit Ninja, but you can also pick up gaming classics such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Mortal Kombat and Pac-Man. Prices range from as little as $1.99 up to $19.99, but a typical arcade title will usually only set you back between $4.99 and $9.99.
The Xbox Indie channel is chock full of indie games, many developed by individuals, rather than full blown development teams. Because of this, a lot of the games are either very basic, or lack polish, or are just plain weird! Don't let this fool you, because there are plenty of classics to be found, including twin stick shooter I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES!!!1 and JRPG parody classic Cthulu Saves the World. Indie titles will usually set you back less than a dollar.

Tost believes Kvyat penalty was "unjustified"
Scuderia Toro Rosso Formula 1 team principal Franz Tost says that the drive-through penalty handed to Daniil Kvyat in the Chinese GP was "unjustified."
Kvyat had first-lap contact with the McLarens of both Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris, causing both drivers to pit for new front wings.
Kvyat himself initially continued without making an extra stop, but he was assessed a drive-through penalty and given two penalty points on his licence.
The stewards noted that he had "lost control of his car at the exit of turn 6 and hit the cars to his left. He did this on his own and the Stewards determined that he was wholly at fault, causing the collision".
Although there was nothing he could do about the decision after the race, Kvyat went to see the stewards in company with team manager Graham Watson.
"This penalty for me is unjustified," Tost told Motorsport.com. "Norris was off the track, and he came back very aggressively, so what should Daniil do? For me this decision is not correct.
"You can't change it, but Daniil and Graham went to the stewards to tell them that this is our opinion, and I share this opinion because I watched it on TV once more just now with the engineers. It cannot be that someone is off the track, is coming back, and then the other one is there. What should he do?"
Later in the race Kvyat lost more time when front wing damage was spotted at his scheduled stop, and the team decided to pit him again and change it. When it was clear that he would not score any points, the team stopped the car.
"We retired him because we wanted to save engine mileage," said Tost. "The regulations say only three engine. So instead of running the car out on the track we decided to call him in."

Chilean salmon farmer Australis, which was recently bought by Chinese giant Legend Holding for $880 million, and which already produces over 60 percent of its volumes in Magallanes, is further establishing its operations in the region to supply expanding markets, CEO Ricardo Misraji told IntraFish.
Looking ahead, what will be the three most important challenges and opportunities for the salmon industry in 2019?
The most important development for Australis will be to consolidate production in Magallanes and consolidate our sustainable model taking advantage of the unique farming conditions in that area.

U.S. Ambassador to Macedonia Gillian Milovanovic in a written media statement on Friday expressed disappointment regarding yesterday's outcome at the Bucharest NATO Summit, where a consensus on Macedonia's NATO membership wasn't reached.
- The people of the Republic of Macedonia came together in the last few weeks and showed their shared commitment to moving this country towards a brighter future. Many, many people have worked hard and achieved so much for this country. The citizens of Macedonia can be proud that their accomplishments over many years and in recent months are making Macedonia a stronger, more prosperous, and more equitable nation for all, says Milovanovic.
The United States stands with the Republic of Macedonia, she adds. - We will remain a steadfast partner, ally, and friend. Yesterday the leaders of our countries agreed to begin work on an enhanced strategic partnership to strengthen our cooperation and ties.
The U.S. Ambassador urges Macedonia's leadership to continue its positive approach to resolving the name issue promptly. - We eagerly look forward to Macedonia soon becoming a member of all Euro-Atlantic institutions it wishes to join, Milovanovic says in a statement.

Bensalem garden yields a bumper crop of friendships
By Peg Quann pquann@couriertimes.com@pegquann
Volunteers thanked at ceremony marking the opening of the Fatima Community Garden in Bensalem.
New immigrants living in Bucks County can grow friendships as well as food through the new Our Lady of Fatima Community Garden that opened Saturday in Bensalem.
More than 75 people came out for the formal ceremony celebrating the completion of the garden, which was developed through a partnership between Catholic Social Services and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. The Nutritional Development Services of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and AmeriCorps Vista volunteers also played a role.
Archdiocesan Auxiliary Bishop Edward Deliman blessed the garden and those who work in it.
"It's a wonderful opportunity for people to work together to bring forth so much life from the garden and to share the fruits of it with one another," he said Monday.
Deliman is the former pastor of St. Charles Borromeo parish, also in Bensalem, which merged with the Our Lady of Fatima in 2014. The 10,000-square-foot garden behind the former Our Lady of Fatima Church on Street Road hosts 44 plots. They're tended by people who receive social services at the Fatima Catholic Outreach Center through a partnership between Catholic Social Services and St. Mary Medical Center. Most are immigrants from Central America. Many live in smaller homes or apartments. Yet, they wanted to produce fruits and vegetables like those they had grown in their home countries as well as to learn how to grow produce that does well in our more northern climate.
Jacki Delaney, who's on the board of directors for CSS and is also a member of the horticultural society, learned of the need and asked PHS' experts to help in the garden's creation. "I was just touched by how caring the people are and how generous," she said of the immigrants.
Justin Trezza, director of garden programs for the PHS, was just the person for the job. He had experience living in Central America and understood the culture and foods. He helped design the garden and also helped PHS educator Sally McCabe translate her Garden Tenders class into Spanish. Among the vegetables planted are ajicitos, which are small sweet peppers, and tomatillos, a member of the tomato family used to make green salsa. Many varieties of lettuce as well as broccoli, tomatoes, beans, carrots, onions and a wide selection of herbs have also been planted.
James Amato, archdiocesan secretary of human services, thanked Jacki Delaney and her husband, Jim, for their "generous" financial contribution to the project, which also received funding from CSS and support from St. Charles Borromeo parish.
The garden includes a shed for storing tools and fencing to keep deer and other wildlife away from the growing vegetables and fruits. Each gardener is charged $35 a year to cover the maintenance costs for the 44 raised beds. Many of the individual 8-foot by 8-foot beds are already producing bumper crops of produce.
Estela Reyes-Bugg, a representative of Catholic Social Services, said there's a waiting list for space, as more people want to participate in the garden. Future needs that the group wants to address are the addition of benches for resting, a lavatory, irrigation piping and space to plant flowers for the churches, Reyes-Bugg noted. Since a soccer league started with the help of the Fatima outreach center plays on the parish property behind the garden, she wasn't sure how quickly the garden could expand. She said that participants want to open a farm stand in the fall to sell excess produce and there also will be donations to the outreach center's food pantry.
"Through this space, the church has provided individuals with a sense of pride, friendship, a natural sanctuary and built a community within a community," she said.
The Rev. Philip Forlano, current pastor of St. Charles parish, thanked parish members who worked to make the garden a reality for those helped by the Fatima center.
"I was really moved by how happy an event it was because of the collaboration of so many people," he said.

Q: Angular Mocking Maticon ComponentToTest
test
<mat-icon svgIcon='admin_configuration_detail'></mat-icon>

So I have a mockMatIconComponent like
@Component({
    // tslint:disable-next-line:component-selector
    selector: 'mat-icon',
    template: '',
})
export class MockMatIconComponent {
    @Input() svgIcon: any;
    @Input() fontSet: any;
    @Input() fontIcon: any;
}

So in my Testbed I have
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [
        MockMatIconComponent,
        ComponentToTest,
        ],
      imports: [],
      providers: [
        ],
    })

But when i try to run this I get Template parse errors: 'mat-icon' is not a known element: Error
Am I missing something here? I have already declared the MockComponent in declarations. I know I am not importing MatIconModule but I dont want to as I want my mock to be there. I can override my modules but I wanted to try things this way. Can anybody tell me whats wrong here?

A: The best to mock mat modules / components properly is to use a mocking library, for example ng-mocks with Angular Material components.
Then your test could look like:
beforeEach(() => MockBuilder(ComponentToTest, MatIconModule));

A: For account groups, you need to remove or disable in the preferences. In the "Contacts" app, go to the menu bar, "Contacts" then "Accounts..." those accounts should be listed. If so, you can remove or turn them off (uncheck the "Enable this account" box) there.


The psychologist Svetlana Roiz brought all the reasons for lack of motivation into focus. That is most often not the point of children.
I am often turned to with such a request as: «I want the psychologist to work with a schoolchild. No motivation to study at all». But the psychologist can not wave a magic psychological wand or a magic motivating belt and make a «learning dear» of a child. The psychologist can not convince a child that the uninteresting is supposedly interesting. Or that the frightful is not frightful.
Good news: the psychologist can look closely and not very closely at the whole family and ask awkward and wacky questions. And this will help to understand, why the motivation is not formed. Or this will explain where it went to. Both questions and answers to them can cause surprise, resistance, anger, distrust and awareness of the parents. And if this awareness comes, it is therapeutic by itself.
The psychologist, for example, can ask with indubitable provocation: does your child see that you are studying by yourselves? How long will you do yourselves what you deem meaningless, without getting internal compensation and without seeing the effective result? Being at gunpoint of evaluations and without a free time? Are you highly motivated yourselves in doing uninteresting and donkey work? Is it easy for you to justify all the time someone's expectations? Are you happy?
The parents argue: well, there is, but also «there are words «it is necessary». These words do not work with this generation. Today's children often ask the question — Why? They focus on that, where they see a sense. If we can not show it, they are looking for something «meaningful» for themselves, and even more — that, associated with pleasure (often, it is a game).
The words «it's necessary», «must» and «I will do» talk about the development of a part of brains that is responsible for impulse control. Exactly this part of brains of modern children is «switched on» later. And in adolescence life it sometimes falls out of the activity.
But these very parts of brains along with these very words are activated, when we have a schedule of the day and regular hours, when there is a planning, when a child has a permanent small significant responsibility, when there are «ritual» actions, i.e. family rituals, when in the family the questions and the search for answers are encouraged, when every day all the family learns something new and when there is a proper physical activity. And yet, it happens when the parents' values coincide with their actions in the world. When there are no «double messages».
Let's explore the following: what could be the motivations? Go to school, go to work?
— Games. Then it brings toys to school, or playing by its rules. At any time it can say «Stop playing» and get out of the learning process. But an adult also play the work. When it is not subordinated to schedule and deadlines, tries to do only what is interesting and avoids responsibility.
— Social motivation. A child goes to school to make friends. And it often does so to detriment of its studies. If the relationship does not develop, it can refuse to study. An adult is a bit like: it goes to work for contact satisfaction and sometimes it sits in social networks during its working hours.
— Motivation in achievements. A child goes to school for the highest marks. If it does not manage to be successful, the motivation decreases. An adult goes to work for the status, praise of a leader and salary.
— Training motivation. A child goes to school to study. Consciously. For knowledge. An adult goes to realize its potential.
If all kinds of the motivation are present in our life at the same time and are satisfied, this is a great happiness. The most mature motivation, of course, is training. It is often necessary to just mature to the training motivation (this is one of reasons not to send off a child to school before seven years).
— a child may be afraid to make mistake: the school geared towards the search of mistakes rather than highlighting successes. Our task is to teach a child, that it is possible to make mistakes. And our task is also to notice successes and efforts made by a child.
This is the possible way of manifesting the jealousy to older-younger brother-sister.
The teacher's calls in style of «Talk to your child, press it down and cry for responsibility» are useless.
The parent's request to the psychologist: «Strengthen its motivation» is incorrect and will also lead to nothing. It is necessary to «say» and transform something, as a rule, in the whole family system. And it is regardless of the success in studies.
When the parents say, sincerely and for the love and care, that: "I am worried about what it will be", I say: «Children will not be, they are already there». Unfortunately, they often feel themselves accepted and loved as well as significant, when they demonstrate success. They are so overwhelmed by our expectations, that they often do not know, what they themselves want.
School is a part of life only. And our children will not be. They are already there. 🙂 Have good growing-ups!

My fourth instrumental album, called Anamcara, came out on March 13, 2021. And with it, starting on Jan. 25, 2021, I launched a new facebook page called Ken Wood Music. It's going to have a unique twist and feel to it which I think many of you will like. So, keep reading to find out more of what I am dreaming:
As a composer, my favorite genres of music in which to compose and record are movie sound scores like you hear in Lord of the Rings, and Chronicles of Narnia; and Celtic music like you hear in the touring shows Riverdance, #Lord of the Dance and Celtic Woman, or in an Irish pub.
I am fascinated with the ancient architecture of castles, cathedrals, and cities, especially those one would find in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe.
Link to KenWoodMusic on Facebook
I dig medieval history, and the legends and lore of saints, brave knights, and noble quests, which poured forth from those times. Ancient Church history greatly captivates me, as well. ANAMCARA.
So, more than just sharing my new original music, I want to use this facebook page and companion website to create a community for likeminded fans to explore the music, art, fashion, architecture of the Medieval, Renaissance and Biblical periods.
Finally, you will get the latest updates on what new music I am writing, how I find inspiration, and what goes into the process of producing it for radio, streaming, and digital release.
Sound cool? Come join the community:
Hit the button and be sure to "Follow"
The first 500 people will be entered into a drawing for one of ten signed copies of ANAMCARA.


I created this seed matching game pattern to go along with my preschool gardening unit. Please feel free to print out the pattern using the PDF files below. Either print them or save to your computer.
1.) Print, laminate and cut apart the cards.

The Royal Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things
Buildium LLC
By Colin McCarthy, J.D., Robinson & Wood, San Jose, CA From time to time, a property owner or possessor will give permission to others to use or rent out parts of her property and put things on it. A soda machine, a vending machine, a gas line, or even a pipe trestle. Those who use that land in this manner have a duty of care to third parties to prevent injury. The same duty that the possessor has. Here is a fun fact pattern. The land possessor runs a horse farm. He rents out horses to be ridden on the property. A customer asks for a mild horse. The land possessor gives the customer what he believes to be a mild horse. The customer takes said horse out for a ride. Said horse is not mild. Said horse goes where it wants to go and takes the customer along with him. Injury ensues: "Plaintiff and his wife rode under the trestle along the indicated road, with plaintiff's horse in the lead. After proceeding about 400 feet to the north at a walk, plaintiff turned his head to the left and called to his wife. As he made this movement, plaintiff's horse suddenly reeled about to the left and began racing back on the road toward the trestle, gaining speed as it went. Plaintiff attempted in vain to control or stop the horse by pulling back on the reins as hard as he could with both hands, but the horse kept going......

United We Stand, Separate Interests We Sue?
By Colin McCarthy, J.D., Robinson & Wood, San Jose, CA Continuing my theme of misquoted quotes and special rules for HOAs, let's talk about the individual unit owners. The HOA can be sued for issues in the common areas that lead to injuries or damage. What about the person who owns the unit near the common area? Doesn't he also -- as a tenant in common of the condominium project -- own an interest in that common area? Can he be sued as well? Ordinary principals of duty would suggest he could be. Take the prior case example about the unit owner that installs lights as an additional security measure to ward off crime she knows is happening near her unit. What if she knew about that burgeoning crime and did not take action? One factor mitigates attaching liability and it is the one that got the HOA in trouble in that case. We know it, right people? Control. In most cases, the owner of the "separate interest" -- i.e., the adjoining unit -- is not allowed to put anything in the common area. This is true even though the unit owner technically owns a piece of the common area by virtue of her ownership of the individual unit. This unit owner tried to effect a security measure in the common area and was rebuked by the HOA and one of its members. So it seems likely on that basis for the unit owner not to be sued. (There it was, the ......

Over the past several years we have experienced growth like never before. We're not the same church as when we first started. We believe God is leading us and forming us into the church He always desired us to be. Now we have an amazing family of people that gather together with a single mission in mind. We want our community to know YOU BELONG IN OUR FAMILY.
We believe in revealing Jesus to our community by extending our reach and inviting people to belong in our family.
We see a family who cares about each other, challenges each other to be better and rallies behind the cause of spreading the Gospel.
Our beliefs are easy to understand. We've listed them below for your convenience.
Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin's penalty. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian.
Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God, through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence. Man's only hope of redemption and salvation from the power of sin is to willingly choose repentance and faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is possible for a believer to lose his or her salvation by willfully turning away from the provisions of salvation which Christ has made. Salvation is a free gift from God and is available to any and all who call upon the Name of the Lord.

An Indiana school district is turning catering leftovers into take-home meals and making sure children in need have enough to eat during the weekends.
Elkhart Community Schools provides students with breakfast and lunch every day but on weekends some children may be going without.
In an elementary school pilot program, South Bend-based nonprofit Cultivate is rescuing food that's cooked but never served. It's making individual frozen meals out of it that are then served to a small group of children.
The pilot program is supported by the Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Academy Commerce.
Cultivate takes well-prepared food, combines it with other food and prepares individual frozen meals out of it. The pilot will serve 20 children and each will get eight individual frozen meals every Friday.
Melissa Ramey from Chamber Leadership Academy said the pilot is making a big impact. "I am proud of that. It was heartbreaking to hear that children go home on the weekends and that they don't have anything to eat," she said.
The program is expected to make a big impact on the lives of those who receive the food and the Elkhart school system is looking forward to expanding it to other schools.
More than 12 million children face hunger in the country. A child facing hunger will struggle in school and beyond. Feeding America said they are more likely to repeat a grade in elementary school, experience development impairment and have more social and behavioral problems.
Children struggling for food come from struggling families. "A family of four facing hunger may be in need of 36 additional meals a month simply because they don't have money to buy enough food," said Feeding America.
Eighty-four percent of the families served by Feeding America buy the cheapest food instead of healthy food and 21 percent of children in households with the risk of hunger may rely exclusively on charitable organizations.

Q: why won't RVM (Ruby Version Manager) install? So my goal is to upgrade Rails from 5.0.6 to the newest version on Windows 10 in order to follow a tutorial that uses it.  If I understand correctly then i need to install RVM in order to upgrade my Rails version. from the RVM site https://rvm.io/rvm/install the first command to install it is:
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D6956105BD0E739499BD

however i get the following error:
'gpg' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

so my question is, do i need to install the RVM and if so how can i proceed?
if I upgrade to Rails 5.1.5 will the apps i made with my 5.0.6 be backwards compatible and still work on my machine or will they break? I am quite confused as to the issue of upgrading since all the videos and articles on upgrading seem to deal with upgrading individual apps and not the actual Rails software itself.

A: You don't have to have a Ruby version manager (like RVM) to use Rails, but it is recommended if you're going to be working on multiple projects. Similar to the way Gemfiles keep everyone in sync using the same gems, a Ruby version manager can help ensure that everyone is using the same version of Ruby, too.
The main complication here is that you're using Windows, which RVM does not support. You either need to use something like cgywin, or try out Ubuntu on Windows, if you want to use RVM.
Alternatively, you could try a Windows-native tool, like Uru.
You can continue without using RVM or any other version manager, and upgrading to 5.1 is unlikely to give you any issues if 5.0 was already working smoothly for you.
