Charity manifesto calls for extra support and an end to dehumanising benefits tests
by Gareth Jones
Charity calls for end to data poverty in Scotland
11th March 2021 by Gareth Jones
The MS Society Scotland has released its manifesto for next year's election
A health charity is calling all politicians and parties to campaign on improving care and support for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) ahead of next year's Scottish Parliamentary Elections.
MS Society Scotland's manifesto is asking prospective MSPs to get #LouderForMS and keep issues that affect the more than 15,000 people living with MS in the country at the forefront.
Research released earlier this year highlighted the high prevalence of MS in Scotland with 720 people diagnosed every year.
MS Society Scotland's manifesto asks politicians to commit to taking action in three core areas as they begin campaigning with the aim of taking seats at Holyrood come May 2021:
Care, support and treatment for people living with MS is person centred, consistent and based within the community
Creation of a world-leading, rights based social security system co-produced with people affected by MS
Supporting physical and mental wellbeing and building resilient communities
MS damages nerves in your body and makes it harder to do everyday things, like walk, talk, eat and think. The condition is relentless, painful and disabling.
Actor Lewis MacDougall has lent his voice to MS Society Scotland's manifesto launch video which outlines key issues for the upcoming Holyrood elections.
His mother was diagnosed with MS before he was born and passed away when he was just 11 years old.
Lewis said: "Care and support for people living with MS is a cause very close to my heart. My experiences have shown me how important it is to ensure that the right assistance is available for people affected by the condition, so I'm pleased to be playing a part of the MS Society Scotland manifesto.
"I hope that candidates of all parties listen to what has been said and commit to creating a system that works better for the people it's supposed to help."
Since the 2016 election a number of new treatments have become available for people living with MS in Scotland, including the first treatment for the primary progressive form of the condition. However, the MS Society's My MS MY Needs surveys in 2016 and 2019 show that the number of people taking a disease modifying treatment who could potentially benefit from one has remained consistent.
The 2019 survey also found that people receiving benefits are twice as likely to be struggling on their current household income than people with MS who are not in receipt of any benefits. MS Society Scotland is calling for a social security system that makes sense, including the scrapping of the nonsensical '20m rule' which sets an arbitrary benchmark for higher levels of support with no evidence to back it up, when the devolution of powers is completed.
The Covid-19 pandemic has only also increased isolation and loneliness as support mechanisms were unavailable. A report published in June 2020 found that: 36% of respondents told us they felt anxious; 13% said they felt scared and 28% said they felt frustrated.
MS Society Scotland director, Morna Simpkins, said: "Everyone living with MS, their family and friends has a unique MS story and it's vital that the health, social and financial support available in Scotland reflects that.
"Our community has told us that people still face many challenges in accessing the care, support and treatments that they need to effectively manage their condition and this needs to change.
"We have been heartened by the progress made as social security becomes devolved but there is still much work to be done to reach a longer term vision which removes the financial barriers to independent living for people with fluctuating neurological conditions like MS.
"Perhaps more than ever mental and emotional health is at the forefront of people's minds and our research tells us that members of the MS community are more likely to be affected by isolation and loneliness.
"Our manifesto lays out these key issues for people living with MS across Scotland and calls on candidates to recognise the impacts they have.
"We want prospective MSPs to get louder for MS for their constituents as they campaign and commit to being bold for real change should they be elected."
David Trotter from Dalkeith was diagnosed with MS towards the end of 2004 following a relapse where he lost power in his right arm and leg, and has used a crutch to aid his mobility since.
He has gone through the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment process and its predecessor Disability Living Allowance (DLA) since being diagnosed.
David said: "I've found that as time goes on and I've been hit by other relapses I get easily fatigued and the strength in my limbs isn't great at all so I can't walk very far or for very long. My arms struggle for accuracy and I can find it difficult to type or write things down.
"In the past I was on DLA which transferred to PIP and as I'm not able to work I'm now on Universal Credit as well.
"Finding what I needed to apply wasn't too bad but the problems started with the form which is around 40 pages long. Both times I've completed it I've needed help from my partner as there's so much writing to be done.
"The rules in moving from DLA to PIP changed to include the 20-metre-rule, from 50 metres.
"Initially, I wasn't too concerned as I know how far I can walk – and it isn't 20 metres - but when it came to the assessment they disagreed with me and decided that when I said I could walk 10 steps without pain that meant 50 metres, which are obviously quite big steps, rather than the 8-12 metres in total that I know it is.
"That led to me appealing and a long, drawn-out process.
"I've always been comfortable with needing help and claiming through different systems because I was able to work. They were giving me the money to pay for a car and I was going to work, getting my job done and paying back in tax.
"Of course, when they took the car off me I couldn't go to work any longer. I felt really despondent and like I'd gone from being a valuable member of society to being worthless in the eyes of the people who were supposed to be helping me.
"My mood dropped dramatically and I didn't leave the house for five or six months while I tried to look up how to appeal and what I needed for that.
"The PIP process made me feel like a number – it's a one-size-fits-all. People with MS all have very different experiences, let alone people with different conditions.
"My nearest bus stop is 200 metres away and I don't know where I'm supposed to be able to go. I can't do little things like pick up my prescription, go to the doctor or help drive my girlfriend somewhere.
"I'd like politicians to learn from the mistakes that people like myself have had to live with. A one-size-fits-all system just doesn't work for us. Every person with MS is completely different and different from people with other conditions. We shouldn't be made to feel like we're under interrogation at an assessment but relying on medical advice from doctors and clinicians."

Jeremy Lin is the Best Darn Bargain in the NBA
CBS Sports says the Brooklyn Nets' three-year, $36 million contract with Lin is a steal.
So you've heard that Jeremy Lin is headed back to New York City. This month, the free agent signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Nets. And Brooklyn might just be getting the best deal in the NBA.
In a wild NBA spending spree, these 10 free agents were actually a bargain
CBS Sports' Ananth Pandian has compiled a list of the top ten bargains in this summer's free agency, and Lin's deal with the Nets tops the list. The three-year, $36 million contract is a steal, Pandian writes.
1. Jeremy Lin, Brooklyn Nets: Seeking a starting role and wanting to reunite with coach Kenny Atkinson, Jeremy Lin chose to sign with the Nets, despite being recruited by a number of other teams. Lin also likely could've gotten more money yet he agreed to a three-year, $36 million contract with the Nets. This is less than what the Bucks paid Matthew Dellavedova, who will continue to be a backup in Milwaukee.
Brooklyn also gets tremendous value from Lin, both from a basketball standpoint and a marketing one. Lin's popularity internationally and in the U.S. allows the Nets to instantly make him the public face of the franchise and guarantees them a huge windfall with merchandizing.
Lin signed a two-year, $4.3 million deal with Charlotte last year, but activated the contract's early-termination option to explore free agency. In his single season with the Hornets, the 27-year-old Harvard alum averaged 11.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists over 26.3 minutes per game.
Okay, so it's a little weird to talk about multimillionaire athletes being underpaid. That said, considering the tremendous value he brings to the team, Jeremy Lin is underpaid.

Imagine the first time you went to see a movie at Anchorage's famed 4th Avenue Theater.
Just standing on the sidewalk, looking at the colorful posters showing you what was playing and what would be playing in the weeks and months to come was fun.
And as you approached the box office to get your movie tickets, you knew you were about to enter a very special place.
With tickets in hand, you enter the theater.
You suddenly smell the delicious aroma of fresh popped popcorn and your eye's begin to take in the incredible sight of the theater's beautiful Art Deco style. Some say that the style was also Streamline Moderne and Art Moderne. But whatever style you prefer, one thing is certain. Anchorage's 4th Avenue Theater was a very special place to see a movie.
Now, before we look at the rest of the 4th Avenue movie palace, lets walk through those plush curtains to see what's playing.
They're about to show previews of a fun John Wayne movie called "North to Alaska."
As you take your seat, you look up at the incredible Alaska murals that grace each side of the screen. And remember the North Star and the Big Dipper on the ceiling?
"North to Alaska" was a perfect movie to see at the 4th Avenue Theater.
Construction of the theater began in 1941, but was stopped because of World War II. Completed in 1947, the 4th Avenue was a very special addition to Anchorage.
Now what's your favorite treat when you go to see a movie?
Popcorn, soda, Flicks, Bon Bons, JuJubes?
The original 4th Avenue Theater didn't have a concession stand.
Cap Lathrop, who built the theater, didn't think a concession stand would be appropriate. Aren't you glad a concession stand was added later?
Back in the theater, I recall those extra large seats. I've heard different stories about why there were some oversized seats. One was that they were to accommodate larger theater goers, and another story, the one I like, was that the oversized seats were for a lady and her gentleman to share.
Now lets take a break and walk out of the auditorium, through those plush curtains and into the lobby.
There it is, that wonderful concession stand filled with delicious treats.
And just off to the right of the concession stand was that grand staircase, a staircase so grand that it belonged up there on the screen with Scarlett O'Hara gliding down it's carpeted steps.
Once on the second floor, the Art Deco design continued to make you feel as though you were a special guest in a palace somewhere in Alaska.
The balcony was amazing, and for me, it was the first movie theater balcony I had ever sat in to watch a movie.
While Anchorage had several other movie theaters back in the day, including the Denali Theater, and the Impress, none were anywhere near as beautiful or special as the 4th Avenue Theater.
Back in 1960, the 4th Avenue Theater ran the Disney movie, "Toby Tyler" starring Kevin Corcoran and a chimpanzee named Mr. Stubbs. The 4th Avenue Theater had been advertising the movie for some time, so when the big Saturday afternoon Anchorage premier arrived, our mom drove us downtown and dropped us off next to the sidewalk outside the 4th Avenue Theater, where a huge crowd had formed.
By Anchorage standards in those days, it was a mob scene with kids of all sizes jammed in front of the theater box office to get their tickets.
Many years later, on a date with my future wife Mary, we discovered that both of us were in that mob outside the theater waiting to see "Toby Tyler."
For those of us who lived in Anchorage back in the day, the 4th Avenue Theater has a very special place in our hearts.
It was Anchorage's movie palace - it was our movie palace.
The last movie Mary and I saw at the 4th Avenue Theater was a re-release of "Gone with the Wind", Mary and I took our daughter Nikki and son Christopher to see the movie and a theater that meant so much to Mary and I growing up in Anchorage.
Now, when we see a movie on TV, we ask each other, "did you see this at the 4th Avenue Theater?"
Saw Many of the Great Films at the 4th Avenue Theater.
You could watch a great film with the Big Dipper and North Star overhead.
It cost me 25 cents when I first went there.
In the summer of 1962 we moved up from Southern Louisiana to Anchorage, I was 9 years old.
We were staying at the Anchorage Westward hotel on 3rd St. We walked over to the 4th Avenue theater to see a Disney movie. I was amazed at how beautiful the walls where near the screen, and wondered how they where made.
As the years went by and overtime I would go to see a movie there. I loved the art work and how it showed how Alaska was making its way through the scenes of this art work.
Even to this day I still love looking at it, brings back very fond memories of my youth.

De Ster van Daendels, in het Maleis  "Bintang Daendels" geheten, is een ridderorde van de Soesoehoenan van Soerakarta. Deze ster werd door Soesoehoenan Prabhu Sri Pakoeboewono IV van Soerakarta ingesteld en was genoemd naar de Nederlandse Maarschalk Daendels die Gouverneur Generaal van Nederlands-Indië was voor Lodewijk Napoleon Koning van Holland.

Ridderorden behoorden niet tot de tradities van de Javaanse hoven en met het instellen van deze ster en de oudere Ster van de Compagnie paste de Soesoehoenan zich aan aan de Europese gebruiken.

De zilveren achtpuntige ster heeft afgeronde stralen met daarop facetten en in het midden een door ronde diamanten omringd medaillon met een gestileerd monogram terwijl op de stralen een grotere ring van edelstenen is aangebracht. Rond het centrale monogram verwijzen vier ronde edelstenen naar de vier windrichtingen.

Aan de orde is geen lint verbonden. Men draagt de ster op de borst.

De ster werd tot 1940 nog gedragen door Pakoeboewono X van Soerakarta.

Das Geothermiekraftwerk Braunau-Simbach im bayrischen Simbach am Inn ist ein hydrothermales geothermisches Heizkraftwerk. Die untertägigen Teile der Anlage befinden sich teilweise unter dem österreichischen Braunau am Inn. Betreiber ist die E.ON Bayern.

Geschichte
Im Jahr 1996 entstanden in grenzüberschreitender Zusammenarbeit der deutschen Stadt Simbach am Inn, der österreichischen Stadt Braunau am Inn und des Landkreises Rottal-Inn Planungen für ein geothermisches Fernheizwerk. Dazu wurden 1997 zwei Projektgesellschaften gegründet. Die ersten Bohrungen erfolgten 1999. Mit dem Bau des Fernwärmenetzes und der zugehörigen Heizzentrale wurde 2001 begonnen. Der Probebetrieb erfolgte ab Anfang 2001. Im Herbst 2001 wurde die Anlage schließlich fertiggestellt und in Betrieb genommen. Erst 2005 wurde das Fernwärmenetz fertiggestellt. Im Jahr 2009 wurde die Anlage im Rahmen eines europaweiten Forschungsprojekts durch eine Turbine des italienischen Herstellers Turboden erweitert, die nach dem Organic-Rankine-Cycle-Verfahren (ORC) arbeitet.

Technik
Die Anlage liegt im bayrischen Molassebecken. Um das geothermische Potential am Standort nutzbar zu machen, wurden eine Förderbohrung (1900 m tief) und eine Reinjektionsbohrung (1850 m tief) bis in eine Malmkarst-Schicht erstellt. Um eine hydraulische und thermische Entkopplung von Förder- und Reinjektionsbohrung zu ermöglichen, erfolgten die Bohrungen nicht parallel zueinander: Während die Bohrungen an der Erdoberfläche einen Abstand von 15,5 m haben, erhöht sich dieser Abstand untertägig bis auf 2050 m. Dazu wurde die Förderbohrung um 66 Grad abgelenkt. Die Förderbohrung führt unter dem Inn hindurch und das Ende der Förderbohrung liegt auf österreichischer Seite unter der Stadt Braunau.

Mittels der Förderborung wird Thermalwasser mit einer Temperatur von 80 °C und einem Volumenstrom von 74 l/s (=266 m³/h) gefördert. Die Wärme des Thermalwassers wird genutzt, anschließend wird das Wasser durch die Reinjektionsbohrung wieder in den Untergrund gepumpt. Durch das Thermalwasser kann eine geothermische Leistung von 7 Megawatt bereitgestellt werden. Das Fernwärmenetz hat eine Länge von 35 km und versorgt 750 Gebäude mit insgesamt etwa 5000 bis 6000 Haushalten. Die Anschlussleistung des Fernwärmenetzes beträgt 40 MW.

Neben der Bereitstellung von Fernwärme wird diese Wärme auch zum Antrieb der ORC-Turbine mit einer elektrischen Leistung von 200 kW genutzt.

Umwelt
Laut Angaben der Projektgesellschaft bzw. des Betreibers werden jährlich 10.700  bis 16.000 Tonnen Kohlendioxid-Emissionen sowie 7 Tonnen Schwefeldioxid- und Stickoxid-Emissionen vermieden. Nach Berechnungen des Klima-Bündnisses entspricht dies einer jährlichen Erdöleinsparung von acht Millionen Liter Erdöl.

Q: How to create a floating animations in a canvas WP8 I want to develop an animation using C# animations with storyboard API. The purpose of the animation is that I have a canvas. Inside this canvas I will put different images at run time based on some specific logic. However in the mean time I don't want this canvas to remain as a dull look boring UI, so I want to do some kind of animation, which it will play forever, as long as the game is running. Can I do that?
<Canvas x:Name="GameCanvas" Height="480" Width="480" Background="white" VerticalAlignment="Top" Loaded="GameCanvas_Loaded" >
            <Canvas.Resources>
                <Storyboard x:Name="myStoryboard">
            </Canvas.Resources>
            <Image x:Name="PreviewImage" Height="480" Width="480" Opacity="1" RenderTransformOrigin="0.2,0.5" >
                <Image.RenderTransform>
                    <TransformGroup>
                        <RotateTransform x:Name="AnimatedRotateTransform" Angle="0" />
                        <CompositeTransform x:Name="TransRotate" />
                    </TransformGroup>
                </Image.RenderTransform>
            </Image>
        </Canvas>

If yes can anybody please help me to guide how to start doing that. Inside the canvas I want put some kind of animations which will perform forever. For example I can put some colorful buttons and this button will float in the canvas, from one position to another.

A: You should read about animations, I recommend http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24519  .
And If you want to animate something:
First define storyboard, add animation on properity of the object (Double Animation, Double Animation using key frames, Object animation, color animation etc.)
Then add key frames and run animation in code or use triggers.

<Rectangle Fill="Azure" Height="50" Width="50" Name="Rect1">
    <Rectangle.Resources>
        <Storyboard x:Key="Animation" >
            <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Transform"
                                    Storyboard.TargetProperty="X"
                                    RepeatBehavior="Forever"
                                    AutoReverse="True"        >

                <LinearDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:02" Value="100" />
                <LinearDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:02" Value="0"   />
            </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
            <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Transform"
                                    Storyboard.TargetProperty="Y"
                                    RepeatBehavior="Forever"
                                            AutoReverse="True">

                <LinearDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:01" Value="100" />
                <LinearDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:01" Value="0"   />
            </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
        </Storyboard>
    </Rectangle.Resources>
    <Rectangle.RenderTransform>
        <TranslateTransform x:Name="Transform"/>
    </Rectangle.RenderTransform>
</Rectangle>

//in code behind
(Rect1.Resources["Animation"] as Storyboard).Begin();

Above code will make a rectangle move slowly from starting point to 100 and back to 0 and so on trough all the eternity.
//UPDATE - CODE EDIT
So, if I understand well, you want something to float. Just animate Y and X properity, Y faster than X, you can use spline frames or easing frames, and customize this animation.

A: If you use C++/CX code for developing you can run animation this way.
Storyboard^ rect = safe_cast<Storyboard^>(Rect1->Resources->Lookup("Animation"));
rect->Begin();

A range of One21seventy clinical audit tools and other tools, eLearning modules and resources for continuous quality improvement (CQI) is available for you to access directly from this site.
Menzies operated One21seventy as a non-profit entity from 2010 to 2016 to provide evidence-based practical tools and processes to help primary health care providers with continuous quality improvement (CQI).
One21seventy aimed to increase the life expectancy for Indigenous people beyond one in infancy, beyond 21 in children and young adults and beyond seventy in older adults through a focus on CQI.
CQI can improve health outcomes by assisting health services to improve their health delivery systems to provide best practice care. Until October 2016, One21seventy supported the use of CQI in Indigenous primary health care through a range of CQI related tools, and a web-based reporting system, and through training and clinical audit support for services. An action-based approach was used in working with health care staff to identify strengths and weaknesses in their systems, set goals for improvement, develop strategies to achieve these goals, and assess the effectiveness of these strategies in improving care for chronic conditions.
You may access One21seventy clinical audit tools and other tools, e-learning modules and resources from this site.
Access to customised One21seventy training, support for the clinical audit and other tools, and comparisons with pooled data from other health centres ceased with the closure of One21seventy on 1 October 2016. Thank you to the services and partners who have been involved in CQI through One21seventy.
Menzies established One21seventy in 2010 following the completion of two NHMRC funded research projects, the ABCD and ABCD Extension Projects (2002 – 2009). These projects aimed to improve health outcomes by assisting Indigenous health services to improve their systems for delivery of best practice care. The ABCD program used an action-research approach to work with health centre staff to identify strengths and weaknesses in their systems, set goals for improvement, develop strategies to achieve these goals, and assess the effectiveness of these strategies in improving chronic illness care. The ABCD program started with primary health services in the Top End of the Northern Territory, and by 2009, 140 health centres were using ABCD tools and processes in most Australian states and territories.
The ABCD program demonstrated that a CQI model could be both attractive to, and effective in, supporting Indigenous primary health care centres to use evidence-based best practice in chronic illness care. Analysis of data on health centre performance over time shows that the majority of health centres in the project improved their performance in relation to most indicators. The ABCD program influenced national, state and territory policy and programs in relation to Indigenous primary health care.
Alongside One 21seventy, the CQI support service, the NHMRC funded ABCD National Research Partnership conducted research from 2010 to 2015 with respect to understanding variation in the quality of care and strategies for improvement.
This education package provides an opportunity to learn about best-practice approaches in continuous quality improvement in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander primary health care.
Six open-access e-learning education modules were developed by One21seventy. The modules will assist you in learning about best-practice approaches to CQI in Indigenous primary health care.
The modules are designed to be a self-paced learning tool. If you are using the same computer/iPad, the system will remember where you left off. You will be advised of the time commitment required before starting each module.
Modules 1 - 3 introduce population health approaches, continuous quality improvement in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander primary health care, and the One21seventy CQI model, tools and processes.
The modules are recommended for all healthcare workers involved in CQI and were current at September 2016.
Smoking e-module - One open access e-learning module was developed to help tackle indigenous smoking.

If you are looking for a good value quaffer to knock back with your mates, look no further than this Summery style wine from Berton. Smells of freshly mowed grass and green citrus adorn the nose, whilst the palate is bright and crunchy with citrus and herbaceous flavours, zippy acidity, and a vibrant, refreshing finish. Shuck some oysters and you're away!
A lifetime of passion for winemaking and viticulture and it finally dawned on us that we really love what we make.
Light straw in colour with lime green hues, this wine has dominant aromas of freshly squeezed lime and grassy notes while hints of crisp capsicum are still evident. Sweet lemon and lime flavours bring softness to the palate while hints of snow peas add a savoury aspect allowing the palate to flow into a long crisp finish.
Food: Enjoy	with	fresh	sushi	or seafood dishes.
Cellaring: This wine has been made to drink now but will cellar for 2 years.

THE SCAFFOLD AT WESTMINSTER.
a Spanish settlement on the banks of the great river, produced only two bars of gold; and with "brains broken," as he told his wife in a letter, Raleigh was forced to sail away, a baffled man, leaving in a foreign grave the body of his eldest son, Walter, who had been killed in the assault. The rage of the Spaniards, who considered all these rich regions their own by right of prior discovery, kindled into flame when the news of this daring move reached Europe. With a cry of " Pirates! pirates !" the Spanish ambassador at London rushed into the presence-chamber of King James to demand vengeance on the slayer of his kinsman, who had been governor of St. Thomas, and reparation for the insult offered to his country's flag. James had good reasons just then for desiring to please the Spanish court, since one of his dearest wishes was to marry his son Charles to the Infanta. So Raleigh was arrested upon his landing at Plymouth, and, after more than a week's delay, was carried to London. A few months later, Oct. 29, he was executed at Westminster upon the old charge of 1618 treason, for which he had already suffered so many years A.D. of imprisonment. Almost his last words, as he lifted the axe and ran his fingers along its keen edge, show with what feelings he fronted death. Smiling, he said, "This is a sharp medicine, but it will cure all diseases." Two blows severed the neck of the old man, who had seen so many phases of human life, and had played with brilliant success so many varied parts.
Besides his great work, a Narrative of his Cruise to Guiana, which proceeded from his pen in 1596, is worthy of being named. He wrote many other prose works, and cultivated poetry with such success that Edmund Spenser calls him the "Summer's Nightingale."
THE CONCLUSION OF RALEIGH'S HISTORY. If we seek a reason of the succession and continuance of this boundless ambiLion in mortal men, we may add to that which hath been already said, that the kings and princes of the world have always laid before them the actions, but not the ends of those great ones which preceded them. They are always transported with the glory of the one, but they never mind the misery of the other, till they find the experience in themselves. They neglect the advice of God, while they enjoy life or hope it; but they follow the counsel of Death upon his first approach.
154 SPECIMEN OF RALEIGH's PROSE.
It is he that puts into man all the wisdom of the world, without speaking a word, which God, with all the words of His law, promises, or threats, doth not infuse. Death, which hateth and destroyeth man, is believed; God, which hath made him and loves him, is always deferred. . . . . It is Death alone that can suddonly make man to know himself. He tells the proud and insolent, that they are but abjects, and humbles them at the instant, makes them cry, complain, and repent, yea, even to hate their forepast happiness. He takes the account of the rich, and proves him a beggar, a naked beggar, which hath interest in noshing but the gravel that fills his mouth. He holds a glass before the eyes of the most beautiful, and makes them see therein their deformity and rottenness, and they acknowledge it. Oh, eloquent, just, and mighty Death ! whom none could advise, thou hast persuaded; what none hath dared, thou hast done ; and whom all the world hath flattered, thou only hast cast out of the world, and despised; thou hast drawn together all the far-stretched greatness, all the pride, cruelty, and ambition of man, and covered it over with these two narrow words—HIO JACET. Sk
" My name and memory I leave to foreign nations, and to mine own country after some time is passed over," wrote Bacon in his will. There is no greater name among the many writers of English prose,—no prouder memory among the host of grave-eyed philosophers, who have spent their best years and ripest powers in exploring the secrets and tracing the laws of the universe; but many blots lie dark upon the reputation of the man, Of late, however, much has been done, especially by Mr. Hepworth Dixon of the Athenæum, to efface these stains from the fame of one of our leading English philosophers and writers.
At York House in the Strand, London, Francis, youngest son of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England, was born on the 22d of January, 1561. As the boy grew, he was noted for a quick wit and precocious gravity, 1561 which led the Queen, a frequent visitor at his father's house, to call him her little Lord Keeper. At thirteen he went to Cambridge, where he studied for three years, and where the deepest impression he received was a dislike to the philosophy of Aristotle.
Then, in accordance with the custom of the time, he joined the suite of Sir Amias Paulett, who was going on an embassy to France. A worse school for a young man of rank could scarcely be found than was the brilliantly voluptuous court of France in that unhappy day. Yet Bacon seems to have been proof against its worst seduc
156 A RISING YOUNG LAW YER.
tions, imbibing, however, during his residence abroad, that taste for magnificence and display which kept him through all his life a needy man, and proved a source of much misery and sin. Something of a woman's nature appears to have mingled with the qualities of his early manhood; his love of beauty displayed itself in a pession for rich dress and furniture, birds, flowers, perfumes, and fine scenery. It might, certainly, have taken a less innocent and more destructive shape. During his stay in France he spent much time at Poictiers, employed chiefly in collecting materials for his maiden work, entitled Of the State of Europe. Recalled to England in 1579 by his father's sudden death, he settled down to study law, with little money but a great 1582 mind, in Gray's Inn. In 1582 he was called to the bar; A.D. and in 1585 he obtained a seat in the Commons for Melcombe. When the dapper, richly-dressed youth of twenty-four, whose round rosyface was new to the House, first rose to speak, indifference speedily changed to curiosity, and curiosity to deep attention. It was felt by all that the young lawyer, already well known in the courts, was a man of no common powers. Even then the main idea of his life, so nobly carried out in his great system of philosophy, began to develop itself in every speech. "Reform" was his motto; and for this he fought hard in the earlier years of his public life. At the opening of his career he made a great mistake, fatal to his happiness and fatal to his fame. He lived beyond his means, and thus became hampered with debt, from which he never quite got free. In conjunction with his brother he set up a coach; for which some excuse may be found in the fact, that even at this early age he suffered severely from gout and ague. He was forced to borrow from the Jews; and it might often have gone hard with the young men in their city lodging, had not their kind mother, Lady Anne, sent frequent supplies of ale and poultry in from Gorhambury. Looked coldly on by his relatives the Cecils, he became a partisan of Essex, who tried hard to get him made Solicitor-General. But Burleigh and his clan were too strong for the Earl, and Bacon

was defeated. To console him for this reverse, Essex gave him the beautiful estate of Twickenham Park. The value of the gift was great—some £1800; and there, under the spreading cedars, the hard-worked lawyer, dried up for many a week in the hot and dusty courts, used gladly to enjoy his leisure by the gentle Thames. But Bacon soon saw that Essex was a dangerous friend, and, after earnest remonstrances from the lawyer, which the Earl appears to have despised, the connection between them was dissolved. Through the remaining years of Elizabeth's reign, Bacon, who had already become member for Middlesex and a Queen's Counsel, continued to rise in the House. All that he could do to save Essex, he did; at the risk of offending the touchyold Queen he pleaded the cause of his former friend and patron. But every effort was rendered useless by the mad folly of the Earl, who had been spoiled by the doting Elizabeth. Forgiven again and again, this madman persisted in trying to kindle a rebellion; and after his failure in London he died on the scaffold. Bacon has been charged with base ingratitude and treachery in this case of Essex. But he could not save a man who rushed so blindly on to death. What he could do, he seems to have done. His publie office of Queen's Counsel enabled him to deal more gently with the foolish Earl than a stranger might have dealt. And when at the Queen's command he drew up a paper declaring the treasons of Essex, its lenient tone made the angry Elizabeth cry out, "I see old love is not easily forgotten." Through these changeful years Bacon had been writing some of the celebrated Essays, which form his chief English work, and entitle him to the fame of holding a first rank among 1597 the grand old masters of English prose. When first A.D. published in 1597, the "Essays" were only ten in number; but others were added in 1612, and after his fall he spent much time in expanding and retouching them. These years were also marked by a disappointment in love. A rich young widow, named Lady Hatton, was the object of his hopes; but his great rival at the bar proved also a formidable rival in the court of love. Attorney-General Coke stepped in and bore away the golden prize. f

Maria Gabriela Sarzała-Drabikowska urodziła się w 1936 roku w Rębowie. Absolwentka Liceum Ogólnokształcącego im. T. Kościuszki w Gostyninie, a następnie Wydziału Biologii i Nauk o Ziemi Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. Od 1959 r. związana z Instytutem Biologii Doświadczalnej im. Marcelego Nenckiego PAN w Warszawie, gdzie wykonała pracę magisterską, a następnie podjęła dalsze badania naukowe. Wczesne Jej prace badawcze dotyczyły enzymów biorących udział w procesach metabolizmu i wchłaniania lipidów w przewodzie pokarmowym zwierząt. Badania nad fosfatazą kwasu fosfatydowego w jelicie były przedmiotem jej pracy doktorskiej, zakończonej uzyskaniem stopnia doktora nauk przyrodniczych w 1966 r. Staż na Uniwersytecie w Utrechcie w latach 1968-1969, skierował Jej zainteresowania na komponentę lipidową błon biologicznych. Badania prowadzone nad metabolizmem i rolą lipidów w funkcjonowaniu błon komórki mięśniowej - sarkolemy i błon siateczki sarkoplazmatycznej rozszerzyła też na badania białek błonowych. W 1973 r. Sarzała-Drabikowska została kierownikiem nowo utworzonej Pracowni Biomembran Komórek Kurczliwych IBD PAN. W 1975 r. uzyskała stopień doktora habilitowanego, a w 1983 r. została mianowana profesorem nadzwyczajnym.

W ostatnich latach życia Jej zainteresowania naukowe koncentrowały się na zmianach zachodzących w błonach mięśniowych w czasie rozwoju i w stanach patologicznych. Szczególnie interesujące są Jej badania nad molekularną organizacją błon, zwłaszcza asymetrycznym rozmieszczeniem ich składników. Opublikowała 42 prace eksperymentalne w czasopismach o zasięgu międzynarodowym i 5 artykułów przeglądowych.

W uznaniu zasług naukowych zespół kierowany przez profesor Sarzałę-Drabikowską otrzymał dwukrotnie (w latach 1973 i 1978) nagrodę Sekretarza Naukowego PAN. Była członkiem Polskiego Towarzystwa Biochemicznego i Komitetu Cytobiologii PAN. Prowadziła szeroką współpracę z laboratoriami polskim i zagranicznymi (m.in.

Work on the review of the Jamaican justice system has begun, with the arrival of personnel from the Canadian Bar Association (CBA).
The team, which will operate from the Ministry of Justice's Oxford Road premises, will be in the island for two weeks initially, to begin the nine-month review.
"They have mapped out an approach, which is welcomed," Communications Manager at the Ministry of Justice, Michael Cohen tells JIS News, noting that a significant part of the work will include communicating with stakeholders and citizens when the project reaches critical levels.
The Ministry, on August 31 this year, signed a CDN$1 million contract with the CBA and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), to undertake a comprehensive review of the justice system. The initiative, which also involves the Public Sector Reform Unit of the Cabinet Office, is the first of its kind to be undertaken in the island.
It is just one of many projects being implemented by the Ministry, which received a budget allocation of some $436 million for the 2006/07 fiscal period. The amount is nearly as much as the accumulated allocation to the Ministry over the last 22 years.
In outlining some of the projects and programmes, which are being carried out with the funds, Mr. Cohen informs of an ongoing computerization initiative.
"We have made a concerted effort in the Resident Magistrate Courts, putting in data ports, buying all the peripherals, and along with that, carrying out training for staff. Some computerization work was also done in the Supreme Court so that we could run the JEMS (Judicial Enforcement Management Systems) programme," he says, explaining that with this programme, data is managed and stored electronically.
Since the beginning of this financial year, this system has been expanded allowing for the addition of more hardware. Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Senator A. J. Nicholson, recently noted that JEMS "provides such a standard, what with its capacity to facilitate and store a dazzling array of data input on any person, who has come before any court, which uses this system".
At a cost of $18.2 million, the computerization system for the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal involves the installation of 65 computers and expansion of the network for greater ease of electronic communication between both courts. "One of the features of the software is that we can know who served (jury duty) where and when, so it minimizes any likelihood of having to repeat duty," Mr. Cohen says.
Meanwhile, the operations of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is also being enhanced through computerization and staff training, which is carried out by the Justice Training Institute.
Mr. Cohen explains that the $27.87 million computerization initiative at that Office is "not just hardware, its also specialized prosecutorial software with the capability for access from the prosecutors' or judges' homes. Information is accessed based on the level of the personnel and their needs".
In addition, some five servers have been installed, 50 work stations, and scanners.
Turning to capital works, Mr. Cohen informs that the Balaclava Courthouse is being rebuilt, while special features are being established at the Santa Cruz Courthouse to facilitate petty sessions. Plans are also being implemented to relocate the corporate area Traffic Court on South Camp Road, and the Coroner's Court on East Street in Kingston, to more appropriate premises.
In addition, land has been secured to build a new courthouse in Morant Bay, while the Family Court in Kingston is up and running, having been relocated from King Street to Duke Street. "The facilities are far more conducive to family matters," Mr. Cohen asserts. This initiative, which was completed in the 2005/2006 fiscal period at a cost of $10 million, was supported by the Canadian High Commission, the Citizens and Justice Programme, and the Inter-American Development Bank. Funds will also be allocated to relocate some of the registry staff from the Supreme Court to premises opposite the Urban Development Corporation car park. "We have also put in facilities so that when the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has any sitting in Jamaica, these will be in place for that.it includes judges chambers also," he informs, adding that, "we are trying to install two elevators (at the Supreme Court), and that takes a lot of money. There are two considerations here: security, which is the separation of prisoners from the members of the public, who are using the court, as well as for those who are physically handicapped".
As set out in the Estimates of Expenditure for this fiscal year, some $391 million is to be spent on the construction and improvement of courthouses across the island.

Call The Midwife! (If The Doctor Doesn't Object)
By Anna Gorman	 January 16, 2019
Every morning at Watsonville Community Hospital in Northern California, the labor and delivery team divvies up its patients — low-risk ones go to the midwives and high-risk ones to the physicians. Then, throughout the day, the doctors and midwives work together to ensure the births go smoothly.
"We kind of divide and conquer," said Dr. Julia Burke, chair of the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department.
The hospital began allowing certified nurse midwives to deliver babies in 2017, part of an effort to decrease cesarean sections and make mothers happier.
It wasn't an easy transition, Burke said. Some doctors, for example, had been practicing for 30 years and never worked with nurse midwives, who are registered nurses with a graduate degree. Pharmacy, medical billing and other departments also were hesitant about the change, unsure of what it would take to integrate nurse midwives, she said. "It took a lot of convincing," she said.
Throughout the country, hospitals and medical practices are battling old stereotypes and sometimes their own providers and staff to bring on certified nurse midwives. To do so, they have to overcome a lack of knowledge about the safety and benefits of midwifery care and the laws and policies that restrict the use of nurse midwives.
Certified nurse midwives are trained to provide women's health care, including family planning services and maternity care. As for childbirth, they typically handle normal births and leave more complicated cases to physicians. There are more than 11,200 certified nurse midwives around the nation, including about 1,200 in California.
Women cared for by certified nurse midwives have fewer C-sections, research shows, which can improve birth outcomes and produce significant cost savings for hospitals. A 2017 study, for instance, also found fewer epidurals and less use of anesthesia among low-risk women with care led by certified nurse midwives, compared with care led by physicians.
Despite the data supporting the use of nurse midwives, they attend fewer than 9 percent of births in the United States. That's far lower than in some European countries, where more than two-thirds of births are attended by midwives, said Laura Attanasio, assistant professor of health policy and management at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
Lack of awareness among patients and other providers is a key reason, Attanasio said. "When people hear the term 'midwives,' people think you are really talking about home births," she said. In fact, she said, most midwife-attended births take place in hospitals.
Attanasio said that to significantly increase the number of births attended by midwives, physicians and hospitals must be willing to bring them on board, and more nurse midwifery training programs must be created. "Our maternity care workforce reflects the way it's been for the last 100 years," she said.
Administrative hurdles pose another challenge in some regions. Six states, including California, require nurse midwives to practice under the supervision of a physician, said Kim Dau, associate professor at University of California-San Francisco. Yet doctors may be reluctant to assume those supervisory duties because they're worried about malpractice liability or a bigger workload.
Attempts to change the law in California have so far failed because of infighting between the state's medical association and hospital association.
To help overcome the obstacles, the Pacific Business Group on Health, a California nonprofit health organization representing employers, is trying to expand the number of hospitals and physician practices that use midwives. They have created guidelines for how to integrate them, and are laying out a business case to convince doctors and hospitals.
They argue, for instance, that midwives can help reduce OB-GYN burnout and reduce malpractice cases associated with unnecessary C-sections.
Bringing midwives into hospitals and physician practices also can help increase their clientele, said Brynn Rubinstein, associate director of the organization's maternity care program. "Women are really hungry for lower intervention in birth," she said. "Midwives are a great option for them."
More women would use midwives if given the option, according to a recent survey by the California Health Care Foundation. Seventeen percent of women surveyed said they would definitely want to be cared for by a midwife in a future birth, and 37 percent said they would consider it. (Kaiser Health News produces California Healthline, an editorially independent publication of the California Health Care Foundation.)
But women can't always find them, or they may harbor misconceptions about the safety of midwife-led care, interviews conducted by the Pacific Business Group on Health reveal.
Lauren Lockwood, a midwife in Walnut Creek, said some of the doctors she works with at John Muir Medical Center also had misconceptions about midwives: "Most OB-GYN physicians don't know what education I have gone through, what my experience is and what I am qualified to do."
Lockwood said some physicians also may feel "a little threatened" by competition from midwives, but others see the value.
Some hospitals, including Highland Hospital in Oakland, have used midwives for at least 20 years, said Katie McKee, interim nurse manager of the midwifery program. There, the OB-GYN doctors work collaboratively with the midwives, who handle most of the prenatal care, triage and about 70 percent of deliveries, McKee said.
McKee said there is always at least one physician and one midwife at the hospital, and they communicate constantly. "We are always working as a team," McKee said.
At Watsonville Community Hospital, about 15 miles south of Santa Cruz, administrators knew they had to do something to bring down their C-section rate for low-risk births, which was higher than the state average. In 2016, Burke, the OB-GYN, helped start a hospitalist program there so physicians would always be on-site. That allowed women to be in labor longer without doctors intervening with medication to induce labor.
Then Burke, who also directs OB-GYN services at the clinic network Salud Para La Gente, worked to bring in the nurse midwives from the clinic. They're now at the hospital every weekday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
It's too early to tell if the nurse midwives have helped reduce the C-section rate, which is now 24.9 percent, but Burke said she expects it to decline.
Now Burke and lead midwife Sarah Levitan want to expand the program so midwives are always at the hospital. "To truly see the value of midwifery, we need to be there 24/7," Levitan said.

You don't want to be critical of your ideas while you're brainstorming for a presentation, but at some point you're going to have to figure out what belongs, what doesn't, and where it goes. We call this the editing phase, and it can be painful; few of us like ripping out our ideas. Most people are terrible at editing themselves and resist it as much as they can. The general failure to edit is why we see so many slides full of junk.
But the editing process can also be liberating. Start by grouping your ideas to figure out what goes together and what doesn't really belong at all. Narrowing down your ideas gives you a stronger focus and a much better argument in the long run. It's important to remember that sheer volume of material and information isn't likely to persuade an audience. They're much more likely to remember a carefully constructed talk that presents a few important details.
We also use the editing stage in order to figure out how much we're realistically going to be able to cover in the time we've been given. Early in our planning stages we often have lists of exercises and visual aids that never make it into the final product, but that's OK. What you want to have in the end is the best of your ideas that you can accomplish with the time and resources available.
Presenters who can ruthlessly edit themselves often look like geniuses because they are so spot-on. Audiences only see the good stuff.
