Bringing the Outside World In
The natural world has checked in for a while at Harmon Guest House and is now taking up residence in the stairwell leading from the lobby to The Rooftop bar and restaurant.
Great blue herons, barn swallows, and blackbirds are among the new creatures to call the hotel home.
The lifelike birds are now fixtures on the walls—thanks to Healdsburg artist Jake Messing. The renowned painter and illustrator has created them as the latest installment of Harmon's ongoing artist-in-residence program that celebrates local artists and their work. Messing calls the exhibit Blue Harmon.

Think of the exhibit as an invitation to rise like a bird. Messing said he always has felt inspired by the majesty of the lyricism of blue herons, and he painted them to lead guests from the ground to the sky for a new experience.
New life, growth, and ascension
"The idea is to welcome people, invite them in, intrigue them, and get them to follow the birds up," he said. "Let nature lead."
Beyond that, Messing said he was trying to use the piece to bring to light some of the water issues facing Sonoma County as we enter our third consecutive summer of drought. Blue herons are water birds, and the barn swallows and redwing blackbirds are other birds found around waterways in Sonoma County.
All told the piece comprises nearly three dozen animals in various states of flight or repose. Many of them are in full color. Some are just outlines. The best way to take in all the various forms of fauna is to climb the steps slowly.
For Messing, the blue heron represents a spirit animal.
They are solitary for the most part—much like him when he paints. He notes that in many cultures the blue heron represents self-reliance and good luck. In certain Native American cultures, if you saw a blue heron on a hunt, it was a sign that you were going to have good luck.
"Whenever I see [a blue heron] in the real world, I slow the car down, point out the window, and tell the kids to look," he noted. "You don't do that too often with other birds and with other animals."
inspired by the natural world
Messing has made a career out of wildlife art; most of his paintings and illustrations are intricate snapshots of different fauna. Subject species span the gamut from birds to mammals to crustaceans and more. Messing noted that he commonly uses reference material as he works and that he did so for the project at the Harmon.
This approach enables the artist to make his work as authentic and realistic as possible.
"I'm super inspired by the natural world and what surrounds us, especially the beauty here in Sonoma County," Messing said. "To be able to do that here, in this beautiful setting, is a real treat for me on a number of levels."

Healdsburg Roots
Messing is a Healdsburg kid. After growing up here in northern Sonoma County, he moved to New York City, where he managed the art department for Tiffany & Company's global visual merchandising team and was showcased in several galleries. He also taught drawing and painting as an adjunct professor at NYU's Tisch graduate department before becoming an independent artist full time.
Since then, Messing has been invited to participate in multiple international artist residencies, including Camac Centre d' Arte (Paris, France) and the Banff Center (British Columbia, Canada), along with numerous group exhibitions around North America.
He continues to work as a freelance artist, designer, and consultant for some of the world's biggest luxury brands, including Harry Winston, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, Nike, and Bergdorf Goodman, among others. One of his recent projects was a 40'x125' mural for the new Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
The Messing mural at Harmon Guest House will be available to view until September 2022, and is one of several different art installations currently on display.
Harmon's commitment to supporting the arts
Since it opened, Harmon Guest House has proven its commitment to supporting the arts with a permanent collection of commissioned art and rotating temporary exhibitions. According to Circe Sher, president of Piazza Hospitality, these exhibits say as much about the hotel as they do about the artists who created them.
"With our artist collaborations at Harmon, we offer up our spaces as a blank canvas for each new artist to find inspiration," she said. "It's exciting to see where they choose to display their work and what they come up with. It's a very special collaboration that is quintessentially Harmon."
All Harmon art exhibits are open to guests and the general public. Messing also has four big pieces on display at the new Bannister Wines tasting room (expected to be open by June 4) on Geyserville Avenue near Diavola in Geyserville.

For the risotto: add half the oil to a large frying pan and cook the mushrooms, stirring, for 2 minutes or until golden. Reserve.
Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes, then add garlic and cook until softened. Add the rice and 'toast' the grains for 2 minutes, stirring. Add the wine and stir until the liquid is completely absorbed. Add ½ cup (125ml) of stock. Continue adding the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring, allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until the rice is tender/firm. There may be some stock left. The risotto should be creamy and glossy.
Remove from heat and stir in mushrooms, parmesan and spinach. Season to taste.
For the kangaroo: heat frying pan over high heat. Brush kangaroo with olive oil and pan fry until brown on all sides. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 5–10 minutes, turning once (remembering kangaroo is best served rare). Remove from heat, cover loosely with foil and rest 5–10 minutes. Carve into medallions.
Divide risotto among serving plates. Top with extra shaved parmesan, kangaroo and a generous sprinkle of ground black pepper.

No patient foresees the need to visit the Emergency Department (ED) for unexpected healthcare. Invariably, the journey to and through ED is anxiety provoking. Common questions include: What will happen during my ED visit? What am I waiting for? What's my diagnosis? What am I supposed to do after discharge? How can I prevent returning to the ED? Meanwhile, ED health professionals want to communicate better with patients and family to ease discomfort and anxiety, yet have limited time with each patient.
Approximately 80% of the 90,000 patients that visit Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) ED annually are discharged home. We need better resources and communication approaches to support them during their journey through the ED, to help patients and families retain the information and advice they receive in the ED, and to improve their ability to recover at home and access outpatient medical support after their ED visit.
In addition to high patient impact and outcome improvement, this app will help shorten patients' ED length of stay, improve patient satisfaction of their ED visit, and decrease unnecessary ED revisits, thereby capturing savings for EDs.

Tybroski: Campaign aims to make 'respect' new R-word
Let's end the slur aimed at people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Tybroski: Campaign aims to make 'respect' new R-word Let's end the slur aimed at people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Check out this story on ElPasoTimes.com: http://www.elpasotimes.com/story/opinion/columnists/2017/03/04/tybroski-campaign-aims-make-respect-new-word/98739362/
Guest columnist Published 12:47 p.m. MT March 4, 2017
Mitch Tybroski
As people, our moral and ethical codes guide our daily actions. How one acts and speaks towards others can all be brought back to what we view as tolerable versus intolerable.
The mainstream use of the "R-word" (retarded) is one of those circumstances in which there is a constant battle within the community of individuals with intellectual and development disabilities and those who fight for them.
The "R-word" is common slang, widely used by individuals ranging from young to old with little thought of whom it may offend. The word stems from the medical term, "mental retardation." This was introduced in 1961 and was used to diagnose individuals with IDD.
Since 2010, with the passing of "Rosa's Law," the terms "mental retardation" and "mentally retarded" have been removed from federal health, education and labor policy.
The "R-word" can deeply insult, pain, and confuse not only the individuals with IDD, but those closest to them as well. This was made obvious last year at a Special Olympics Texas swimming practice, when one team collectively experienced the negative impact of the word.
A community member's use of the "R-word" directed towards a group of Texas Special Olympics athletes left coaches, parents and family members infuriated, saddened and shaken.
Even worse, those athletes with IDD were frightened and confused. Athletes did not want to go back to the pool and were even hesitant to attend the area aquatics competition for which they had trained so intensely.
Instead of letting the dark extinguish the light, parents, community members and athletes decided to use this pain as an opportunity to unite them to rally and fight for individuals with IDD and to pledge to eliminate the use of the "R-word".
Special Olympics Texas will highlight some of their frontrunners fighting to eliminate the word on March 1 and throughout the month.
Unified Champion schools, community and school-based delegations, various school and community groups, family members and volunteers will be challenged to take the pledge to "Spread the Word to End the Word," a campaign that anyone can join at www.r-word.org.
We have a long journey to fully terminate the use of this slur; however, we can all do our part in educating those around us. We can all be a voice for inclusion, tolerance and acceptance of all people.
Although the fight is not over, we should not be discouraged. There is hope in the faces of those individuals with IDD.
Focusing on their relentless spirt, resilient nature and remarkable stories will only strengthen our will to continue the fight for "Respect" … the new "R-word."
Mitch Tybroski of Amarillo is area director of Special Olympics Texas for the Panhandle region.

Similar response to climate change in European and US birds
By Dana Kobilinsky
The American robin, which is common across the continental U.S., has declined in southern states such as Mississippi and Louisiana but increased in north-central states including North and South Dakota.

Common birds in the United States and Europe have responded in similar ways to climate change in the last 30 years.
"There are a lot of things that drive populations of animals to go up and down in number," said Philip Stephens, an ecology professor at Durham University in England and lead author of a recent study published in the journal Science. "It's difficult to tease out the effects of one particular driver."
In an effort to do so, Stephens and other collaborators from across Europe and the U.S. conducted a study to look at the fates of common bird species that could be affected by climate change. After reviewing the average climates in areas where each species was found, the team split the birds into two categories: species in which climate change seemed to be leading to more favorable climates and those where climate change was apparently leading to deteriorating climates.
Abundance data including 145 common bird species in Europe and 380 common bird species in the U.S. collected by thousands of volunteers from 1980 to 2010 showed that on both continents the birds expected to do better as a result of climate change had, in fact, substantially outperformed those expected to suffer from climate change. This is a clear demonstration of the role that climate change has played in affecting the abundances of hundreds of species, Stephens said.
For example, the Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) and Cassin's kingbird (Tyrannus vociferans), which were both once strongholds in the south, according to Stephens, are now increasingly common farther north. In Europe, species such as the wren (Troglodytidae) have been increasing in northern areas where winters are becoming milder and declining in southern countries with hotter and drier summers.
The team also took note of other factors that might lead to biases including species' body size, migratory behavior and habitat affinities, but their analysis found these didn't differ systematically between the groups that were either advantaged or disadvantaged by climate change.
Stephens said the data collected by volunteers with USGS and the Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme can be used to see how birds will be affected by climate change in the future. Meanwhile, he hopes lobbyists use this study to illustrate the scale of changes due to climate change.
"As an ecologist, impacts of climate change for the future often look bleak," he said. "We're looking at what's already happened. This is a striking illustration that I hope will be clear to policy makers."
Further, the study is important because sometimes species change in abundance with no real explanation. This research can show whether climate change is behind some of these changes.

'Exodus' iOS Surveillance Software Masqueraded as Legit Apps
Italian firm appears to have developed spyware for lawful intercept purposes, Lookout says.
Researchers at mobile security firm Lookout have discovered iOS versions of a spyware tool that an Italian video surveillance company appears to have designed for so-called lawful intercept purposes by governments.
Non-profit white hat hacker collective Security Without Borders last month had reported discovering several Android versions of the same malware uploaded to Play Store, Google's official mobile app store.
Google removed those apps—which were disguised as service apps from Italian mobile operators—after the company was notified of the problem. Security Without Borders has estimated the total number of infections to be in the high hundreds to potentially one thousand or more.
The iOS version of Exodus, as the malware is called, can steal a range of data from infected systems. Examples include contact information, audio recordings, photos, videos, GPS location information and any other data that can be accessed via an infected device's iOS APIs, says Christoph Hebeisen, senior manager of security intelligence at Lookout. The malware is also capable of doing remote audio recording.
Even so, the iOS versions are not as sophisticated as the Android malware he says. "The iOS version can only exfiltrate a limited set of data as it is limited to data it can access via iOS APIs," Hebeisen says. "In contrast, the Android version has full root access to the device." So it is capable of accessing and exfiltrating screen shots, text messages, browser histories, call logs, data from third-party messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram and other data as well. Exodus for Android is also designed to keep running even when the screen is switched off.
Both Security Without Borders and Lookout believe the software is the work of eSurv, an Italian firm ostensibly focused on video surveillance software and image recognition systems. According to Security Without Borders, eSurv has been developing the spyware since at least 2016.
Several aspects of eSurv's operations suggest the company is well funded and has designed the software for use by law enforcement and other entities to conduct offensive surveillance on people, according to Lookout. Tell-tale signs include the use of certificate pinning and public key encryption for command-and-control purposes and the use of geo-restrictions to ensure the malware is used only in specific geographies.
This is the second instance in the past 18 months where an Italian software firm has been caught quietly distributing surveillance software.
In January 2018, security vendor Kaspersky Lab reported on another Italian firm using spoofed web pages to distribute "Skygofree," an extremely sophisticated Android spying tool. Kasperksy Lab described the malware as a data-stealer capable of supporting up to 48 different remote commands and controllable via SMS messages, HTTP, and FireBaseCloudMessaging Services. Like Exodus, Skygofree too had a feature that allowed the app to keep running even when other apps are suspended—or put into battery-saving mode.
The iOS version of Exodus is being distributed via phishing sites. To make that possible, the operators of the spyware appear to have abused Apple's Developer Enterprise Program, a provisioning mechanism that allows enterprises to distribute proprietary in-house iOS apps to employees without having to use Apple's mobile app store.
"Apple's Enterprise Developer program is not involved in the download," Hebeisen notes. "eSurv was approved for the Apple Developer Enterprise program, which allowed them to sign the apps with a legitimate-looking enterprise certificate," he notes. Apple has since revoked the certificates that eSurv was using to digitally sign its software.
There is no indication that eSurv ever attempted to upload the signed iOS malware to Apple's app store. Instead they hosted the spyware on phishing sites that were designed to appear as mobile carrier sites. Hebeisen says Lookout is presently unsure what lures eSurv is using to direct victims to the phishing websites.
Exodus for iOS executes when a user downloads and launches the app. The malware sets up multiple timers for gathering and uploading specific data on a periodic basis. The data is then queued and transferred to the command-and-control server. The C2 infrastructure that eSurv is using for the iOS version of Exodus is the same as the one being used for the Android version.
Lookout says it does not know potentially how many iOS users might have downloaded Exodus on their systems. All of the telemetry that Lookout has gathered shows the attacks are focused purely on Italian IP addresses. So, the risk to US users is negligible, Hebeisen says.
It's unclear whether eSurv was collecting, or planning to collect mobile data, on any entity's behalf. But there are several companies vying for market share in what some say is a growing market for lawful intercept tools. A recent report from Allied Market Research estimated demand for such tools from governments and law enforcement agencies to top $3.3 billion by 2022. New rules and standards by governments seeking to fight technology-enabled crime are driving a lot of the demand, Allied Market Research said.

The Buffalo Sabres had seven prospects playing in Europe in 2006-07.
Not much more could have been asked of Enroth, the undersized, 5'10, 175-pound Swedish goalie this season. The sixth goalie selected in the 2006 NHL draft played a huge role in the promotion of Sodertalje to the Swedish first division for 2007-08.
Starting nine of 10 games in the critical six-team promotional tournament (Kvalserien), Enroth registered a 2.14 GAA and .921 save percentage in the tourney. Sodertalje finished with 19 points, second to Skelleftea and only two points ahead of third-place Malmo.
Enroth, the youngest player on the fourth-place Swedes at the 2007 WJCs, also shared goaltending duties with Joel Gistedt throughout the junior tournament in January. If Enroth continues to play like he did in 2006-07, he will cement his position as Buffalo's goalie of the future.
Buravchikov signed with perennial Russian Super League favorites Ak Bars Kazan for 2006-07. Ak Bars won the RSL's regular season handily and Buravchikov was a big part of it despite being the team's second youngest member at 19 (turning 20 this month). An excellent skater, Buravchikov played 35 of his team's 54 games finishing with a +5.
The captain of Russia's 2007 WJC squad, he needs to be signed by June 1, but there's no certainty that he'll accept an offer.
Persson is lucky Buffalo is treating him as a long-term prospect. Playing on four different teams in 2006-07 Persson moved around a lot and had a rough year.
Persson signed this year with Swedish Elite League team Djurgardens IF. He played nine games with Djurgardens, 11 with Djurgardens' junior team, three with Almtuna in the Allsvenskan and finished the season playing for Nykopings HK in the Allsvenskan. Of those stops he played most with Nykopings, scoring eight points and earning a -7 in 29 games.
This year was critical for the 6'0, 200-pound, two-way Slovak forward. Fabry started the season with Czech Extraliga (top Czech league) HC Znojemsti Orli but managed to play only two games before moving down a league to woeful Havlickuv Brod in the Czech 1.liga. Fabry, an aspiring two-way forward, didn't help much as Havlickuv Brod finished 11th and allowed the most goals against in the 14-team league.
A -19 with five goals and seven points in 39 second division games will do little to induce the Sabres sign Fabry this summer.
Ezhov, 22, managed a -6 on a team that scored 38 goals fewer than they allowed.
Chelyabinsk used 36 players this year but the consistent Ezhov was one of only four to play in all 54 games. Ezhov also threw his weight around and finished fifth on the team with 73 PIMs. Amazingly, the 6'0, 200-pounder's eight points was second among Chelyabinsk defensemen.
Ezhov's strong stay-at-home game helped Chelyabinsk improve defensively despite their abysmal record. They had a defense that was 12th among 20 teams but had they allowed five goals fewer, they would have finished eighth overall defensively. An anemic 19th-ranked offense was the major problem, something for which you can't blame the defensive Ezhov. Consider this a comeback season for the young Russian.
After Yuzhny Ural Orsk was demoted, Sheviev stayed at home and played with Elektrostal as he's done for five of his seven years in the Russian pro leagues. The smallish 6'0, 180-pound defensive forward had a relatively productive year scoring four goals and 11 points in 46 games for the defensively-challenged Elektrostal. More importantly, Sheviev's +1 was a major positive on a team that scored 48 fewer goals than they allowed. His 50 PIMs were sixth on his team while his point total was seventh. Sheviev's all-around contribution to the 11th place (out of 14) Elektrostal team, make him a valuable commodity to his Russian team.
Gogulla has gained 22 pounds in the last two years – and that's a good thing. The lanky 6'2, 198-pound winger was drafted as a 6'2, 176-pound string bean in the second round of the 2005 NHL Amateur Draft. Considering the strength of his game is along the boards, the added weight is of huge importance for the young German.
Unfortunately for Gogulla his 2006-07 season was almost a mirror image statistically of his previous season. Gogulla finished with eight goals and 21 points in 44 games good enough for ninth in goals and 11th in points on Cologne. His PIMs were the only thing that changed significantly for the 19-year-old, declining to 26 from 49.
Gogulla's play at the international level was a highlight of his 2006-07 season. Despite eventual relegation, the German Under-20 team defeated both the US and Slovak teams to start the tourney. Gogulla ended the junior championships with six assists in six games, good enough to lead the Germans in assists and come second to Sabre prospect Felix Schutz in points.
Gogulla's highlight of the year had to be his five assists in six games in the 2007 World Championships. Playing against NHL professionals from Canada, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and the USA, Gogulla led the Germans in assists and finished third in points.


Even after the Restoration individual clergy added to and omitted from the Prayer Book services anything they thought fit. In a letter of January 1683, written by a gentleman of the Inns of Court, probably to Dean Granville, there is a complaint that in London there are as many ways of worship as there are ministers. The practices he complains of include: leaving out the opening Sentences, Exhortation, Confession, and Absolution at Mattins and Evensong; substituting a metrical psalm for the Benedictus or Jubilate; interpolating the Visitation of the Sick into Altar Prayers; the substitution of a prayer of the minister's own composition for the Prayer for the Church Militant; omitting the opening Our Father and the Nicene Creed from the Communion Office. [Wickham Legg: English Church Life, pp. 111-17.] After the Restoration the liturgists are constantly inveighing against the practice of the minister using a prayer of his own in the place where the Bidding Prayer is ordered.
To divines who believed that a liturgy was the prayer of the Church and not of particular individuals, that one of the properties of liturgy was the proclamation of divine truth, and that each prayer had a particular meaning in the particular place which it occupied, the absence of uniformity seemed destructive of all they were fighting for. It allowed each minister to undermine the liturgical life of the Church. When Granville wants to praise a brother priest, he calls him 'a good rubric man' [Remains, I, p. 209]; he has nothing but contempt for those 'who prefer their own voluntary and private dictates before the public and approved forms of the Church'. [Ibid., p. 253.] This insistence on uniformity is due to a great deal more than love of legalism. Tillotson's famous taunt to Beveridge, 'Doctor! doctor! charity is better than rubrics' does not really meet the point at issue. To the liturgists it was only through conformity to the rubrics, through a faithful and exact reading of the prayers, and the disciplined and balanced Christianity which they gave, that the faithful could be brought to the divine charity which is the end of the Christian life.
It is clear from Thorndike's treatment of uniformity that the liturgists in expounding the principle had in mind the evil results which ensued to the life of the Church when each minister was allowed to alter the liturgy as he liked, or substitute services of his own in its place. But the principle raises a further question of equal importance, that of change and development in the liturgy. The High Churchmen realized that a liturgy cannot be static, that new conditions may make changes necessary, that it is built up out of the devotion of every age. Did they, in spirt of this, interpret the principle of uniformity to mean that the Church is for ever bound to the Prayer Book of 1662? This was the interpretation adopted by the Privy Council in the last century in the ritual cases of Westerton v. Liddell (1857) and Martin v. Mackonochie (1868); their Lordships declared that the directions in the Prayer Book were to be strictly observed, and that no omission or addition could be allowed. [Moore: The Cases of Westerton v. Liddell, p. 187; Martin v. Mackonochie, 2 P.C. Appeal Cases, at 383.] The Church courts today enforce this interpretation; it means that anyone who adds to or deviates from the 1662 services, even if in his additions or omissions he is following not his own liturgical invention, but a widespread practice of the Church, whether he is a bishop or a priest, he is guilty of an offence against the laws of the Church.
In all fairness to the Privy Council it should be said that they did not originate this method of treating the Prayer Book. It is first found explicitly used in the Court of Arches in 1845 in the case of Faulkner v. Litchfield, when Sir Herbert Jenner Fust pronounced credence tables to be an illegal ornament because nothing was said about them in the Prayer Book. [I Robertson's Ecclesiastical Reports, at 212-13, 259.] Something very like the method appears as early as 1629 in Smart's case when the judge, in reference to Cosin's ceremonial usages at Durham, said that those who did more as well as those who did less than what was commanded in the Elizabethan Act of Uniformity were breaking the law. This was not the judge's settled view; for he later decided that there was no law under which Cosin could be charged for his ceremonial practices, though they found no mention in the Elizabethan Prayer Book. [Cosin: Correspondence, I, pp. 156-8.] The tendency to administer the Prayer Book like statute law will always be found amongst those who exalt Parliamentary sovereignty; its triumph in the nineteenth century was due to the gradual decline in the understanding of the traditional principles and workings of ecclesiastical law.
The solution of the Privy Council has the merit of being simple, logical, and coherent; unfortunately it has proved unworkable, witness the contradictory opinions which the Privy Council has given in ritual cases. And it has proved unworkable because it is an attempt to rule by statute law something which by its very nature cannot be understood by applying the ordinary rules governing the interpretation of a statute. Treating the Prayer book as a statute means the subjection of the liturgy to a system of law, which in its necessary rigidity is alien to the Church's life; the liturgy needs a delicacy and suppleness of treatment which the hard and fast methods used in interpreting a statute are quite unable to give. Herein lies the importance of the Lincoln Judgement (1890), described by Dean Church as the most courageous thing which had come from Lambeth for two hundred years. The Church owes an enormous debt of gratitude to Archbishop Benson, not so much for his decisions on the particular points it issue, but for his courageous recognition that the rules employed by temporal lawyers in the interpretation of statutes make nonsense when applied to the liturgy, that the liturgy is something living, only to be understood in the light of the Church's life and history.
The Privy Council interpretation of the principle of uniformity has other disadvantages. It conveys the impression that the authority of the liturgy rests on its embodiment in an act of Parliament, and not on the consent of the Church expressed through the Convocations. Parliamentary legislation ultimately becomes the sole means of effecting any changes in the liturgy. A good case can be made out for Parliamentary legislation in Church affairs in the seventeenth century; but subsequent events have deprived Parliament of all living contact with the Church, and made it a body quite unfitted to deal with such a sacred and intimate part of Church life as the liturgy.
The Church is unable to express itself as a living, organic body. Being a community, its prayer, the liturgy, is bound in some degree to change with the passage of time. New conditions, new possibilities, will make changes and additions desirable; old prohibitions will become an encumbrance since the purpose they were meant to serve has been accomplished. But treating the Prayer Book as an act of Parliament has prevented it keeping pace with the changing life of the Church. Any alterations which the Church may make to meet new needs, either spontaneously through the action of custom, or of set purpose through legislation in Convocation, are labeled illegal unless they possess the sanction of Parliament. The dead hand of statute law stifles the liturgical life of the Church.
In actual fact the Church, being a living body, has refused to let its liturgical life be imprisoned in statute law; by additions, modifications, omissions, the 1662 Prayer Book has been altered. But according to the theory, which since the Privy Council cases of the last century has been regarded as 'official' in the Church of England, they are illegal; for it is an accepted maxim of English law that neither non-usage nor contrary custom can abrogate statute law. The result has been liturgical chaos. In the absence of any reputable authority capable of altering the liturgy or guiding the changes imposed by custom, it has altered and changed under no coherent plan. Each individual congregation has adapted the Prayer Book to its personal tastes. In an effort to keep the liturgy in touch with the Church's life, we have come perilously near to losing sight of the liturgy as the prayer, not of individuals, but of the whole Church.
The solution of the Privy Council is the principle of uniformity gone wrong; it ends in the destruction of all genuine life in the Church and makes liturgical worship impossible. The seventeenth-century liturgists frankly recognized that in some things the Prayer Book was deficient, and remedied these deficiencies from other authorities, a course followed by the ecclesiastical and temporal courts down to the forties of the last century. Their method of reconciling the necessity of change with the principle of uniformity becomes apparent when we examine their own views and those in the legal judgements of the period, on such things as the nature of the authority attaching to the 1662 Act of Uniformity, the so-called jus liturgicum of each bishop, and the relationship between the Prayer Book rubrics and the customary law of the Church.
There is one striking difference between the liturgists writing before and those writing after the Restoration. The former in speaking of the authority on which the Prayer Book rests, pay little attention to the Elizabethan Act of Uniformity; they are content with declaring that the Prayer Book is the Church's liturgy without going into details on the precise source of its authority. The latter, on the other hand, tend to pay increasing attention, as the century goes on, to the fact that it is annexed to an act of Parliament. They appeal to the Caroline Act of Uniformity as one reason for obeying the Prayer Book directions; in an age which was fast losing all sense that the Church has power to impose its own discipline, temporal law became the only authority which men were prepared to accept in the practice of their religion. Churchmen tended to regard it as a matter of congratulation that their liturgy had received the authority of statute law. After the Restoration the liturgists are inclined to take a static view of the Prayer Book. They felt that in 1662 they had obtained all they wanted. The Prayer Book rubrics embodied many of the features desired by the Laudian divines. The difficulty of getting a minimum of the Prayer Book directions obeyed, in an England which still retained a taste for extemporary services, made them afraid that further improvements might render ineffectual the efforts they were making to win the country back to its use. The growing rationalism aroused a fear that any further revision would mean the end of those elements in the liturgy which they valued intensely as linking the worship of the seventeenth century with the primitive Church. All this resulted in an inclination to contemplate the existing Prayer Book as a model of perfection, and to expound its beauties with an occasional regret that it was not more like that of 1549.
It is easy to interpret both the emphasis laid by the later liturgists on the 1662 Act of Uniformity, and their dislike of change, as an inclination to accept only the authority of Parliament on matters liturgical. In fact their attitude has been advanced as an argument in favour of the Privy Council's opinion. It is startling to find a staunch High Churchman like Johnson of Cranbrook justifying a refusal to use the Accession Service on the ground that it did not possess the authority of Parliament. [Cf. his tract, The Case of a Rector refusing to preach a Visitation Sermon, 1723.] Yet in spite of all that High Churchmen say about the Act of Uniformity, they are quite clear that it is not the legislative enactment which made the 1662 Prayer Book the liturgy of the Church. The Convocations are the proper bodies for this kind of legislation; but they would have added that the lack of Church discipline made it desirable for the conclusions of the Convocations to receive Parliamentary authority. Wheatly in the introduction to his rationale takes great pains to point out that the authority on which the Prayer Book rests is not statute law, but that of the bishops and clergy in provincial synods, 'the king and parliament only establishing by civil sanction what was there done by ecclesiastical authority'. [op cit., Introductory Discourse.] As passed by the Convocations the Prayer Book is obligatory in foro conscientiae; as confirmed and ratified by Parliament it becomes obligatory in foro civili. As an instance of what he means, Wheatly says that the Act of Toleration has made nonconformists no longer liable to the penalties imposed by statute for not attending the services of the Church of England; but they are still guilty of the sin of schism for not attending the services imposed by due authority in the Catholic Church of the country. Sparrow treats the Acts of Uniformity in much the same way. The authority of the Prayer Book comes from the Convocations; Parliament had no hand in drawing it up; it merely gave it the confirmation of temporal law.
In Cawdry's Case, Coke had pointed out that the Elizabethan Act of Uniformity did not deprive the Church of its jurisdiction in its own courts over offenders against the liturgy, a jurisdiction which it had possessed from time immemorial; it merely made them liable in addition to proceedings as well in the temporal courts. [77 English Reports, at 7.] Much the same is said about the Caroline Act of Uniformity by Nicholls in his commentary on the Prayer Book. To the seventeenth-century liturgists the authority of the Prayer Book rested not on its embodiment in an act of Parliament, but on the approval, even though this approval was not expressed by formal canon, given to it by the Convocations on the 20th December 1661; the approval of the Upper Houses expressed in the words redigimus, recepimus, et approbavimus, and the assent of the Lower Houses in the words consensimus et subscripsimus. Its embodiment in the Act of 1662 gave it the enhanced authority of temporal law; but it did not increase the obligation of churchmen to use it; it would still be the Church's service book even if it hat never received Parliamentary sanction. [Joyce, England's Sacred Synods, p. 273.] The Act did not deprive the Church of the right of administering it in the ecclesiastical courts and interpreting it according to the rules and maxims of ecclesiastical law.
Both the Elizabethan and Caroline Prayer Books were lacking in such services as the consecration of churches and churchyards, and the benediction of altar plate, services necessary in the life of the Church. It was usual for each bishop to draw up such services for use in his diocese as occasion required; and his right thus to put out services for which the Prayer Book made no provision does not seem to have been questioned. It is noticeable, however, that the practice of each bishop drawing up consecration orders stopped when the Convocations issued one in 1712. Apart from the right to supplement the Prayer Book, the bishop's jus liturgicum is strictly limited to the giving of directions in cases where the interpretation of the rubrics is in dispute. He cannot dispense with what has been established by an act of Parliament or provincial legislation. [Keble: Life of Thomas Wilson, I, p. 22; Johnson: Canons, xlv.] In Smart's case which has previously been mentioned, one of the charges against Cosin was standing up at and singing the Nicene creed; this was evidently regarded as a matter in which the meaning of a rubric was in doubt. The bishop intervened and claimed in a letter supposedly written to Laud that he had 'provided for an uniformity in the divine service, according to the ancient use of that Church, before the late alterations'. [Cosin: Correspondence, I, p. 201.] The last words are interesting; the bishop evidently did not feel at liberty to interpret the doubtful rubrics according to his own ideas; he acted in the light of previous usage.
Up till the end of the seventeenth century the canons of 1604 were regarded as an authoritative part of the ecclesiastical law, though they had never received the sanction of Parliament. The modern view that the canons of Convocation only bind the clergy proprio vigore dates from Lord Hardwicke's famous judgement in Middleton v. Crofts (1736); Lord Hardwicke based his judgement on the argument that laws were best made by the landed gentry and that the clergy were not really representative of the laity [2 Atkyns, at 652-4], a remarkable piece of legal perversity; it is difficult to believe that the creator of Uncle Toby did not know better what the ordinary man was thinking than Lord Chesterfield.
Usually the High Churchmen prefer to say that the rubrics must be interpreted to agree with the liturgical practices of the Church prior to the Reformation unless they were expressly abrogated by the Prayer Book. For instance, the Puritans objected to the congregation saying Christ have mercy in the Kyries between the Creed and the Our Father in the daily offices, on the grounds that the Prayer Book assigns it to the minister. To this cavilling, Cosin says: 'Let ancient custom prevail, the thing which our Church chiefly intended in the review of this service.' [Cosin: Works, V, p. 65.] In the anonymous pamphlet published in 1723 [Two Discourses, pp. xviii—xxii, vide supra, p. 54.] there is an interesting discussion on the legality of the mixed chalice. The writer admits that the rubrical direction for the commixture in the 1549 Prayer Book and its subsequent omission is strong evidence that the practice is contrary to the existing rubrics. On the other hand the practice dates from the Fathers, and the writer takes the view that the liturgy should be interpreted in accordance with the customs of the early Church; it was in use amongst the Jacobean divines whose knowledge of liturgiology and devotion to the Prayer Book, the writer argues, make it inconceivable that they can have wittingly practised something which the Reformers had forbidden. But even if the mixed chalice was forbidden after 1549, there were special circumstances at the Reformation which made a prohibition desirable, namely, the presence in the Church of those who thought such a practice a relic of popery. The mixed chalice was forbidden from a desire not to offend them. But the increased knowledge of early liturgies has shown that it is a harmless and edifying practice; and the people whom the prohibition was meant to conciliate have disappeared. On the principle, therefore, of lex cessat causante, the prohibition is no longer binding.
By recognizing that the sources of the liturgy were wider than the Prayer Book, the liturgies, and up to the middle of the last century the lawyers too, allowed the liturgy of the Church to keep pace with its changing life. In the authority which they attach to custom, not only in adding new ceremonies, but in interpreting and correcting the exaggerated prohibitions of the Reformation, they had a legal weapon perfectly justifiable according to the principles of canonical jurisprudence, and which in liturgical matters was capable of saving the Church from the legalism of statute law. It is chiefly in the matter of rubrics and ceremonial that the liturgies pay regard to custom. They do not appear to have discussed the possibility of allowing changes in the prayers, their words, and their order, on its authority. Nor is there any recorded instance of this authority being used to justify the additions to or omissions from the rite which the liturgists lamented; the alterations were made from a dislike of liturgy itself.
It can very reasonably be argued that the authority which the liturgists attached to custom in matters of ceremonial destroys the principle of one uniform service; for a minister might on the plea of custom adopt any ceremony, however peculiar and eccentric. The liturgists, when talking of custom never seem to have contemplated this situation. The ceremonial which they had in mind was that mentioned in the last chapter, widespread in the Church and uniform in its main features; since it was not ordered in the Prayer Book, they found their authority for its use in custom. Although much of this ceremonial grew up in the seventeenth century, they never seem to have discussed what was necessary to give an alteration in the liturgy the force of customary law. In western canonical jurisprudence, which forms the basis of Anglican ecclesiastical law, a custom to become law must be prescriptive and rational. Prescriptive refers to the amount of time it has been in existence, and the ecclesiastical courts insisted on a period of forty years. [I Lee, at 205.] Rationality refers to the moral quality of the custom; for a liturgical custom to be rational, they would probably have said that it must not contradict but bring out and emphasize the central features of the Anglican Liturgy, its corporateness, its regard to divine truth, the special plan and structure on which each service was built up. It may be that by applying the views of the seventeenth century on the authority of custom in matters liturgical, we may find a solution of the existing muddle and make our liturgical life a coherent and ordered thing.
Summing up this chapter we may say that the liturgists as their third key principle, lying at the root of all liturgical life, maintained that the liturgy must be uniform throughout the Church. No changes in it could be made by either individual ministers or bishops on their own authority. [It was only changes in the liturgy that the principle forbade; in the case of Rex v. Sparkes (3 Mod. 79), it was held that the minister was legally able to hold unliturgical services, provided they were not instead of those in the Prayer Book. High Churchmen had an intense dislike for this decision; they were afraid that unliturgical services would succeed in ousting the liturgy.] But this uniformity did not mean that the Church was tied to the 1662 Prayer Book till Parliament decided to sanction changes, or that the liturgy could not develop and expand. The proper authorities for effecting alterations were either customary usage or legislation in the Convocations; although in view of the times it was deemed desirable to get Parliamentary sanction for decisions of the latter. The ceremonial in particular was based primarily on the age-long customary ceremonial usages of the Church, much of it not mentioned in the Prayer Book, in agreement with which the Prayer Book rubrics were to be interpreted unless they expressly abrogated it on any point. The liturgy could be added to and expanded by the force of custom to meet the changing needs of the Church. But it was not open to any individual minister to start new departures on his own authority; or if he did so, they only became defensible when they were taken up by the community and had fulfilled the conditions necessary for custom to become law.
In interpreting the principle of uniformity it is important to remember that it was evolved by seventeenth-century High Churchmen to preserve liturgical life amongst the faithful, not to stop liturgical growth. They were thinking of a Church with no religious communities and whose places of worship were for the most part parish churches. They never envisaged the problem raised by religious communities who obviously find insufficient a rite which caters for clergy and laity living in the world. It is therefore illegitimate to interpret the principle as forbidding religious communities from having a rite different from the Prayer Book; at Little Gidding the Ferrars recited the whole Psalter daily according to a scheme of their own.
To the liturgists uniformity was the safeguard necessary for the continued existence of the liturgy in England as the prayer of the Church; it ensured that clergy and laity alike were nourished on the riches of liturgical worship, a worship which is a sine qua non of the Christian life. Uniformity guaranteed that the liturgy proclaimed Christian truth, and that its rites and ceremonies were worthy of the divine majesty and holiness.

Key West Narrated Trolley Bus Tour
Florida Guide > Places to Visit
For our visit to Key West a few years ago my Father did a lot of the planning. We stayed at Fort Lauderdale for a night before going on our journey down the Keys. Because it appeared to be a long drive we decided to stay overnight half way down the Keys. In hindsight as we had two drivers in the car this was not really necessary we could have completed the journey in one day.
Before leaving the UK My Father had searched the internet for details of any trolley bus tours in Key West as we always find this is a good way to get to know a new location. He found one and did the booking online from England at a cost of about £20 per adult for a one day ticket.
Included in this cost for a narrated tour was all taxes, gratuities were optional. He received a confirmation of his booking immediately. We did not require it but the tour was wheelchair accessible at the Key West Welcome Center and Mallory Square.
The tour runs between 9. 00am and 4. 30pm and departed every 30 minutes. We walked to Mallory Square to get ours but you could also get on at any of the following stops:
Mac' s Sea Garden
La Concha - Crowne Plaza
Angela and Duval Streets
Bahama Village Market Place
Key West Welcome Center - Wheelchair Accessible
Southernmost Trolley Stop
Duval and Truman Avenue
We boarded and sat back while your our tour guide recounted the history of the days of Indians, pirates, wreckers and the Civil War. It was a great way to explore Key West.
As we hopped on and off the trolley bus three times we had three different guides all of who were really good. We liked the fact that we could take the tour at our own pace by getting on and off as we wished with no restrictions made on the length of our stop off.
We learnt all about Key West' s lucrative ship wrecking industry. We heard great stories of the successes and disasters of Henry Flagler' s railroad. We were also told about the fierce Calusa Indians that were said to leave the remains of their enemies on the beaches of Key West, thus creating Key West' s first name, Cayo Hueso. . . Island of Bones, that was spooky!
This tour was relatively expensive as trolley bus tours go but it was very comprehensive with many places of interest highlighted so we felt it really was worth the money.

In the works: PNP-HPG Major Road Crash Investigation Division
Alfred P. Dalizon
THE Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group (PNP-HPG) is on its way to activate its Major Road Crash Investigation Division which will investigate deadly vehicular accidents across the country and recommend scientific measures to prevent them from happening again and again, the Journal Group learned yesterday.
The major road crash investigation particularly looks at the country's road condition including the absence or lack of road signs and signals, the vehicle condition and the need for owners, operators and drivers of public utility vehicles to exercise 'utmost diligence' in operating their vehicles, said PNP-HPG director, Brigadier General Dionardo B. Carlos.
Carlos said they will also be needing the help of all concerned agencies including the Department of Public Works and Highways, Department of Transportation, Land Transportation Office, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, Department of Health, Department of Science and Technology and Local Government Units in helping address deadly road crashes which has caught the attention of President Duterte.
The help of the DPWH and LGUs would be vital in looking at the road condition which is a major factor behind fatal vehicular accidents. On the other hand, the LTO and the LTFRB will be playing a vital role in ensuring the roadworthiness or lack of maintenance of a public utility vehicle as they have been seen as a major cause of deadly accidents, the PNP-HPG director said.
PNP-HPG operations division chief, Lieutenant Colonel Oliver Tanseco said there is also a need for owners/operators/drivers of passenger buses, utility trucks, jeepneys and other for-hire vehicles to exercise 'outmost diligence and care' in operating their vehicles.
These include the need to ensure that the country's traffic laws specifically when it comes to overloading or loading passengers for cargo spaces would not be violated, the official said.
Carlos said they have recommended to the DPWH the implementation of a standard for road design and construction considering the terrain and protection of environment like tunneling in slide-prone areas and provision of street lights.
He also batted for a continuing education for professional drivers; the strict enforcement of the Anti-Overloading Act; the strict enforcement of the mandatory alcohol and drug test for drivers involved in accident resulting in the loss of human lives or physical injuries; and the strict enforcement of the law on carrying passengers on motor vehicles not designed as such.
"We are also looking at appropriate post-crash response too to minimize deaths or injuries during road crashes," Tanseco said.
Carlos said the major road crash division should involve a scientific and technical investigation by different agencies led by the PNP-HPG and the PNP Crime Laboratory's Scene-of-the-Crime-Operations or SOCO teams to establish the negligence of drivers and operators.
On the other hand, the DPWH and LGUs will help establish road conditions at the time of accidents; the LTO for vehicle registration and roadworthiness and signs; the DOST for ensuring certified mechanics for vehicle condition; the LTFRB for franchise-common carrier matters; and the DoH for medical response.
"We are actually developing it to be the first in the country. Sa Pilipinas po ito, Major Road Crash Investigation Division – meaning a dedicated investigation division to determine the real cause of road crash," Tanseco explained.
There has been a proposal to increase the PNP-HPG manpower to 12,000 in order to boost police's efforts for road safety and security under the PNP's reorganization and restructuring plans. The PNP-HPG will have to recruit engineers to become part of its road crash investigation team.
PNP-HPG's data showed P4.381 billion worth of "total economic loss and societal harm" from road crashes over the past three months alone.
The PNP-HPG is currently mandated to run after highway robbers, car thieves and hijackers although it has also been tapped to help ease traffic woes in Metro Manila.
President Duterte has ordered the PNP-HPG to investigate the major road crash in Sitio Gassud in Barangay Buluan in Conner, Apayao last November 2 which killed 19 persons and injured dozens of others.


UPDATE : Just like that, the WebStorm team has a much simpler fix.
I've overlooked that all this time. I guess I'm just overwhelmed by all the settings/configs in Preferences.
I've used the WebStorm IDE from JetBrains on and off for many years. I had given up on it lately because I was so tired of all the distractions it adds. So, I've recently been using Visual Studio Code (Code) from Microsoft.
While I've enjoyed the "lightness" of Code, nothing beats the quality of auto-completion and code formatting as JetBrain's products.
So, I've decided to go back to WebStorm. Immediately, I was hit again by my biggest pet peeve - Version Control. Generally speaking, I like my version control separate from my editor.
Sidenote: Code has a great version control view - best in class in fact.
Every time you open/create a project in WebStorm, it's nagging you about version control. It's also littering the view with distracting code change indicators. It's always driven me nuts.
My first step on any project is to go into settings and disable version control. However, I spin up little projects all the time. I'm tired of disabling version control on a project by project basis.
I finally got smart and found a permanent solution to this problem.
Open Preferences -> Version Control -> Git (or your VCS du jour). Then ERASE the PATH TO GIT EXECUTABLE. That's right - just delete it.
Tada! No more irritating questions about adding a file to Git, unregistered VCS roots. Now, just wonderfully clean, awesome editing with syntax highlighting, code completion, etc.
Anyone have a better solution? It would be great if JetBrains offered a nuclear option - NO VERSION CONTROL EVER.

Emergency evacuations: Exits and maps
Our subject matter experts regularly get questions on whether OSHA requires employers to post emergency exit route maps, and on the minimum distance between exits. Those questions are answered below.
Are maps of evacuation routes required?
OSHA doesn't actually require employers to post evacuation maps, but does strongly recommend them. The regulations don't mention maps, but the non-mandatory Appendix to Subpart E says maps should be part of the employer's planning:
The use of floor plans or workplace maps which clearly show the emergency escape routes should be included in the emergency action plan. Color coding will aid employees in determining their route assignments.
In addition, OSHA Publication 3088 on evacuations says that an emergency action plan must include:
Emergency escape procedures and route assignments, such as floor plans, workplace maps, and safe or refuge areas;
The Appendix suggests that exit route maps would help, and Publication 3088 lists "maps" as an option. OSHA doesn't explicitly require maps, but they are a good way to show exit routes to employees and visitors. Employers can determine how many maps they want and where to post them. There is no requirement on where to display them.
Employers should check with a local fire marshal for any code requirements. The OSHA regulations cover only employees, not visitors; local codes may cover places of business that are open to the public.
What is the minimum distance between emergency exit doors?
Oddly enough, there is no specified distance between exits, so two exits might be fairly close to each other, particularly in a smaller facility. Generally, at least two exits are required, but the total number of exits required is based on the number of people (occupancy load).
Beyond that, only travel distance to the nearest exit is addressed. A typical maximum distance would be 150 to 200 feet per NFPA 101 (which OSHA has incorporated), depending on whether the facility has overhead sprinklers. However, the distance could be as short as 75 feet where flammable materials are stored, such as combustible liquids stored according to NFPA 30.
Again, employers may want to contact a local fire marshal if they have concerns that exit locations might be problematic.

Hyde Park Estate Gardens
Hyde Park Estate gardens are usually only seen by residents but on Saturday 11 June 2022 five completely unseen and untouched gardens will be opened to the public as part of The National Garden Scheme, Open Garden.
The Water Gardens
The National Garden Scheme has a rich history – with humble beginnings in the early 1900s when they first started supporting district nurses, to donating millions of pounds to nursing and health charities over 90 years later. The National Garden Scheme now gives visitors unique access to over 3,500 exceptional private gardens in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Guernsey, and donated over £3 million to its beneficiary charities last year.
The gardens on the Hyde Park Estate are owned and managed by the Church Commissioners for England and play a key part in the environmental and ecological strategy on the Hyde Park Estate. The Estate covers 90 acres of which 12½% is 'green', not only with the garden spaces but by installing planters on unused paved areas, green roofs on new developments and olive trees throughout Connaught Village.
The Gardens open on 11 June include Coniston, Devonport, Quadrangle, Reflection 2020, and the award-winning modernist garden, The Water Gardens.
This hidden treasure is suspended over a podium deck and features mature trees and lush vegetation interacting with brutalist design elements, threaded through 1500sqm of large shallow ponds with aquatic vegetation and freshwater fish. Hidden corners allow the visitor to sit and enjoy a variety of views.
The Water Gardens Designed Landscape (i.e. the gardens and ponds) are now Grade II listed following Historic England's project to identify post-war landscapes that were underrepresented on the National Heritage List for England.
The original 'brutalist' garden was implemented in 1966 and widely refurbished in 2018 with all planting and paving lifted and replaced. The gardens were sympathetically redesigned by Refolo Landscape Architects, on behalf of the Church Commissioners for England, introducing new design features that complement the existing brutalist architecture.
The large planters of the suspended podium deck have been retained and are directly connected to the pond allowing for the planting of new mature trees. A SUDS system beneath the paving collects rain water for irrigation and new planting of over 130 different species meet the high sustainability credentials of the Church Commissioners.
Reflections 2020
In July 2020, the Reflection Garden was created as a welcome area of green space for reflection and seclusion for the residents at 25 Porchester Place. The theme of the new garden is one of tranquillity and reflection particularly given the events we were all living through in 2020. This has been translated through a carefully selected planting palette of perennial species, fragrant white flowers and aromatic foliage.
Three mature Olive trees with beautiful gnarled bark and silver sheen, positioned on York stone paving in bespoke planters provide a sense of instant maturity and are the main visual anchor points in the design. Through the canopy of these specimen olive trees white and cream highly scented climbing and rambling Rose 'snowflake 'and the incredibly floriferous, 'rambling Rector' have been hand tied in to the branches giving the courtyard garden a romantic timeless feel. Beyond wellbeing and social engagement, promoting and enhancing biodiversity was integral to the installation's brief.
The focal point in the garden is a spherical black slate orb. This water feature, whilst visually arresting, also acts as an important cooling water source, alongside with the bird baths, provide important water sources for the local birds and wildlife. Species were selected to ensure that the garden would be attractive to wildlife, particularly birds and bees and the particular species were all selected for their pollination qualities.
Most of the plants, such as early flowering bittersweet, Daphne, Buddleia and thyme, were specifically selected in order to provide valuable nectar for bees throughout the year.
Devonport is a quiet oasis in Central London featuring a small, residential inner courtyard with dense mixed planting, a woodland garden with a raised woodland bed, as well as a Victorian Style greenhouse with a mixed plant collection of tropical plants along with temperate plants.
Devonport also houses the cold frame and nursery area for young plants. The Church Commissioners are actively involved in educating garden visitors with bird and insect signs and supporting initiatives at local community events to promote awareness of local wildlife and wildflower gardening.
The Quadrangle
The Quadrangle Large inner courtyard of residential block are subdivided into a variety of planting zones including:
Herbaceous borders
Island beds with architectural plants
Thematic borders in lower garden
Walk through annual and perennial display
Two raised wildflower meadows
Coniston Court
Coniston Court garden was designed by Tony Heywood and Alison Condie. In such a densely populated urban setting, the need for a rich biodiverse habitat is paramount. The landscape provides both a visually arresting design and an interesting and captivating garden experience for its users, who can stroll through and immerse themselves within the garden's rich mix of planting styles.
The ground plan is bold and graphic, containing distinct planting zones to provide contrasting vegetation patterns and textures. The organic, fluid design and undulating pathways are suggestive of a dry river bed and take the visitor through a variety of planting styles. These range from Mediterranean olive grove, through flowering grassland pasture to a more formal structure of magnificent topiary yew hedging, cut into a series of perennial garden rooms which surround a floating wild flower meadow.
A pivotal feature is the polygonal glass Solar Dome, a nod to the site's history when it was once called Polygon Mews. This futuristic dome contains a dazzling collection of specimen cacti and succulents. The cacti provide an other-worldly feel, and at night when illuminated they suggest almost alien-like form.
At Coniston Garden there are over 135 different species of plant divided into zones within the garden including a wildflower hill with yew spires, birch woodland glade, Mediterranean planting, and a floating wildflower meadow.
Tickets for Open Garden on Saturday 11 June cost £6 and must be purchased in advance here. To coincide with Open Garden, Connaught Village will also be hosting their first ever Garden Festival.

Zambian Post staff flee temporary newsroom amid threats of attack
The Post, the biggest independent newspaper in Zambia, has had to evacuate its journalists from their make-shift newsroom, yesterday, after threats of attacks by cadres of the ruling party, the Patriotic Front. The paper has faced ongoing threats - direct and indirect - from government ahead of elections next month. Last month the printing press was shut down and executives were arrested (and assaulted) on tax-related charges.
