Mental health therapists in GP practices could be the norm
Health chiefs have drawn up new guidance to encourage doctors to place mental health therapists in practice surgeries – bringing more mental and physical health services under one roof.
These new therapists will be integrated into primary care teams and focus on common mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression, particularly where this occurs in patients with a long term physical health condition such as diabetes, respiratory or heart problems.
Evidence suggests nine out of 10 adults with mental health problems are supported in primary care and broadening the range of services for patients, means local health services are better equipped to deal with patients' physical and mental health needs.
Claire Murdoch, NHS England's national director for mental health said: "Joining up talking therapy services in primary care settings is another big step forward for our patients and a key plank in putting mental health at the centre of the long-term plan for the NHS. We are on track to deliver 3,000 therapists in primary care, with over 800 in surgeries at the end of last year and this handy guidance should convince those practices that are yet to take the plunge of the benefits."
Dr Nikita Kanani, NHS England's acting director of primary care, said: "General practice is the front door of the NHS. We continue to support the expansion of the workforce so patients have access to a range of different health professionals so that we can better support both their physical and mental health needs."
In house mental health therapists, largely provided through collaboration with local Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services are expected to be full members of the primary healthcare team – receiving self-referrals from patients as well as GPs, clinical pharmacists, practice nurses and healthcare assistants. In addition they should:
Attend practice meetings
Provide specialist advice to support to ensure mental health is taken on-board and considered as part of treatment and care in the surgery
Link in with clinicians across other mental and physical health services on behalf of the patient and practice
This closer way of working usually means the patient doesn't have to travel far for their psychological treatment encouraging attendance and for some patients, receiving treatment in their GP surgery reduces the perception of stigma associated with having a mental health problem.
Intervening at an earlier stage and addressing common mental health issues can also improve care, while closer team-working can help reduce the number of referrals to hospital or community care – releasing capacity.
Many parts of the country have already pressed ahead with plans to transform mental health and primary care services this way, including:
In Sheffield, IAPT practitioners provide updates on the patient record on GP systems at each appointment. This provides the doctor with useful information on how the patient is getting on and enables them to have a fully informed conversation about their physical and mental health needs
In Calderdale, the IAPT service uses the GPs' diary system, which means practice staff can book appointments with the therapist directly. Practitioners get weekly case management supervision from supervisors in the service.
In Cambridge and Peterborough, early results show that timely and effective mental health care for people with diabetes, cardiovascular or respiratory illnesses have resulted in a three-quarters reduction in inpatient hospital attendance and a two-thirds drop in A&E admissions, freeing up £200,000 of NHS funding.
Commenting on the work to improve the care on offer to patients in her patch, Dr Emma Tiffin, clinical mental health lead, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough sustainability and transformation Plan (STP) said: "As a GP, an important part of my work is to help make patients' access to mental and physical health care as quick and easy as possible and that includes informing patients about the options available to access treatments and normalising mental health part of the GP offer."
Dr John Hague, clinical mental health lead, Suffolk and North East Essex STP added: "If the IAPT service is seeing a patient then it is freeing up the GPs and nurses to do other work. So why not do it? There is no reason why not. Evidence-based low intensity treatments are effective in terms of patient recovery and for most issues offer the most rapid, sure-fire chance of recovery."
Dr Charles Heatley is a senior partner at Birley Health Centre, in south-east Sheffield said: "We seized the opportunity straight away. The great thing about it is I can talk to any of the four or five mental health therapists who work at the practice. Those one-to-one discussions are useful and have led to the GPs at the practice working on different ways of referring patients to the IAPT service, as well as patients' self-referrals."
People with a physical health condition are more likely than the rest of the population to experience mental ill health. More than 16 million people in England are diagnosed with a long-term physical health condition, and one in three of this group will experience a mental health problem.
NHS England's IAPT programme has been described as 'the world's most ambitious effort to treat depression' and the latest monthly figures (May) showed 25,198 patients moved on to recovery – delivering the highest recovery rate (52.8%) ever.

Songwriting takes many forms. Sure, in the realm of Americana music, "songwriting" typically refers to the thing most people do with an acoustic guitar, a voice, and their sense of poetry. But, in many areas of traditional music – folk, bluegrass, classical, jazz – "songwriting" can be a process by which an artist pulls something out of the tradition and uses it as a building block for something all their own.
Take Casey Driessen, for example. The world-class Asheville-based fiddler has spent more of his time backing up other people on his five-string fiddle – folks like Bela Fleck, Steve Earle, the Duhks…even John Mayer. But, across a handful of solo albums (including The S1ngularity, which dropped last month), Driessen has asserted his very singular vision of musicality, marrying his freakishly solid fiddle chops with his sort-of-almost-alien ability to loop and layer songs like Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" into glorious oblivion.
Casey Driessen: I try to find songs I can carry and not just replicate what the [original version did]. I try to bring my own stamp or personality to a song I can do something with. That's the distinction to me.
Kim Ruehl: It's different from calling yourself a "cover artist" though.
CD: Yeah, I'm not doing a whole album of cover songs. I do a combination of original instrumentals, sometimes I call them "derangements" – taking arrangements of other people's tunes or public domain material, which may have lyrics and may be instrumental. I'm trying to arrange things that I didn't write in a way that fits what I do, that's convincing, that feels like me.
KR: So where does it start? Just messing around?
CD: I guess each tune is different, each song is different. The Tom Waits tune – "Murder in the Red Barn"…I like his writing, so I made a little playlist of his records and put it on random. I [heard that song and] thought, Is this is a song I can pull off? Is it in my vocal range, is it something I can lyrically make convincing? That one stuck with me because there's a line in there about a violin, so I like that … There's a tradition of murder songs in bluegrass and old time, and [I liked] the idea of adding to the family tree of murder songs, with one that comes from a place that's unexpected, from a different genre. That was another check mark for me. [I also] wanted to do a piece for the looping concept that didn't use the bow at all, on the violin. I wanted to make all sounds that were bow-less – pizzicato, hitting on the body of the instrument – so I started fooling around with that. He had a banjo plucking around in his original recording, as well. So there were a bunch of little things that felt familiar enough to me that I thought I'd give it a shot. That's where that came from.
The Michael Jackson cover came from him actually passing away. I was at a fiddle camp and I was supposed to give a faculty performance the following day. I thought a tribute was appropriate. A friend of mine suggested – "Oh, you should do Billie Jean. It's got a very identifiable string line." I thought that was great, so I worked that one up. I just try to be open to suggestions wherever they might come from.
KR: When did you realize you could do that? I mean, as a child, learning music, you learn songs that have been written and you have to play them just so. A lot of people take that to a point of writing their own entirely new songs. But at what point did you start to deviate?
CD: I've never been drawn to lyric writing. I've been drawn to composing, but never lyric writing. I don't feel like a storyteller that way. So, writing lyrics was not an obvious jump for me. In the bluegrass world there's a lot of covering of material that happens. That's how I grew up. I never really paid attention to where songs came from. I just heard them on a record. You get into jam sessions in bluegrass, it's such a part of the learning process in that world. You're trying to find common ground to play music with other people. Playing your own original tunes is not a common ground for a jam session – that's a jam buster, if you're going to pull out your own material. So I was used to trying to sing or play other people's tunes. That was a natural for me.
[Also,] I was a big fan of Tony Rice. Still am. I think of him, really, as a singer. He's a guitar player certainly, but he was a major voice in bluegrass that I grew up listening to. He hardly wrote any of that material yet he owned all of that material. You learned that from listening to Tony Rice. He seemed like he owned those songs. That gave me confidence. I might not be a songwriter, but let me find some material that I feel confident with and go with that, and put my own stamp on it.
KR: So, what is the perfect tune?
CD: I define a good song by one that can stand the test of time and genre. One that is malleable to different instruments and different vocalists. There's some sort of universal quality about it. It seems that way to me when I'm picking them. There's one called "Working on a Building" that I've played for years and years. It's public domain. Who knows where it started but it works in so many different instrumentations. Stevie Wonder's songwriting is something I really like. Lots of his tunes are still as applicable today as the day they were written. That's a hard question to answer – the perfect song. I don't know… Certainly there's amazing music that only the songwriter can pull off convincingly and that is just as perfect. Are you talking about the type of song I like to listen to? Or the perfect song for me to pull off in a live show? Because, there are different qualifications, for me.
KR: I don't know … It's hard to imagine another fiddler coming along and picking up your arrangements, though, and doing them exactly the way you would do them.
CD: I don't know that it's supposed to be done that way, unless you're a cover band and you're trying to replicate what was recorded to please the wedding crowd you're playing for… then it's good to try to be as true to possible to the original recording. That's what people [in that context] are expecting to hear. But if you're an artist, you're trying to say something new with the song. I've changed time signatures and chord changes. I think some of that might be illegal to do, copyright wise, but I don't think the songs have stopped being themselves. They just give themselves over to the ability [for me] to play with them.
KR: How do you not go overboard when you're layering things and looping things?
CD: It's with conscious effort. I feel like I'm always trying to pare something back, trying to say more with less. I know I say a lot, I play a lot. My arrangements can be really dense, but believe me I pull it back.
With the looping, you have to think about how the parts fit together not just how one part sounds by itself. If you're going to play one part by itself, and not have anything else going on, you want to fill in the extra spaces. But you have to hear and plan for what's coming up and what's going to interweave and interlock with that. It's trial and error, really, with the looping. Sometimes [it comes from] learning the arrangements. Like, for "Billy Jean," I learned the bass part, I learned what's essentially the drum part; I learned the string part, the vocal part. By themselves, they may not be that interesting, but when you get them all together it's like filling in the blanks.
KR: So it's sort of like playing with other players. It's about listening closely.
CD: Yeah, you have to imagine what it's going to be. You have to have some sort of plan in mind, but yes you definitely have to listen as well. If I'm playing with other musicians, I'm probably not going to play the same rhythm part that the drummer is playing because then you just blend into each other. You're not going to enhance the situation if you're playing the same thing. You want to find what other people aren't playing, but you also want to leave room for other people to play. So, yeah… Not going overboard with the looping can be tricky.
Another part of it is that I'm only playing one instrument. Some people will loop – they'll pick up the bass or the bells, the guitar, the drums… they'll switch between instruments to layer. I'm playing one instrument so I have to be mindful of the range that each one of the parts is in, and also the tone. I'll change the tone of the fiddle if I'm going to lay the fiddle back on the top of [something] so that there's some sort of distinguishing quality between the two layers, so it's not just one sound that keeps getting more crowded.
KR: It's interesting to think of trying to, basically, create a whole band using one instrument, which is essentially what you're doing.
CD: You know, I've gotten to this point by studying other instruments as they apply to mine. I'm doing a lot of percussive stuff on the fiddle, so I've listened to a lot of drummers and tried to emulate what they're doing. I'm trying to learn how to play the drums but do it on the fiddle. I played a little bass for a while and that helped me tune in, with my ears, to what bass players are doing. So, I've learned to think how a bass player would think. I've tried to learn how to strum either with the fingers or with the bow by listening to guitar players. So I'm trying to learn all these instruments, but I'm learning them all essentially on the fiddle.
KR: A lot of the classical composers were using the string sections for rhythm. They weren't utilizing drum kits, so this is kind of like you're getting back to the classical intention for strings.
CD: I guess so. I don't really have a classical background so I don't have any expertise to speak to that. I played in public school orchestras. That's my only classical experience. But you know the percussive stuff that's happening on the fiddle now, to my knowledge, in the long history of the violin, has never happened before. This percussive chopping has been around for the last 50 or 60 years, which in the history of the violin is not a very long time. I don't think it's a passing fad because it's spreading to classical violinists. People are starting to compose for it. It's jumped genres. It's not just a bluegrass thing. People are doing it in Irish and Scottish music, I have a buddy who's putting it in flamenco music. It's a new thing that's happening on the instrument. Talk about songwriting – there are new tools and textures [waiting] to be used.

Ranking The Greatest Albums By Rush
via Rush/YouTube
Not Easy To Rank
Since their formation in 1968, Rush has always been dedicated to pushing the boundaries when it came to making music. Ironically, they were once accused of copying Led Zeppelin but they have long since proven themselves. There have been several lineup changes before they settled with Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart – three virtuoso musicians who have displayed impeccable mastery of their craft.
They have evolved as musicians. And while they did have the occasional lows in terms of creativity, there's actually no bad Rush album all things considered. But with over a dozen studio albums in their catalogue, we picked ten of the best and ranked them. Check it out.
10. Caress of Steel (1975)
They were already steering away from their blues-based hard rock style to prog-rock with this album. It's highly ambitious and while it's not their finest work, there were already promises of things to come. It was a huge step for them. And it was clear they were headed in the right direction – musically speaking.
9. Presto (1989)
Their most underrated album deserves more appreciation. There are no fillers. It's brilliant from start to finish. The songs are catchy, emotive, and beautifully done.
8. Test for Echo (1996)
There were forgettable tracks but the rest are absolute gold.
7. Hemispheres (1978)
A tour de force. It only had four songs but sometimes, that's all you need because the album featured "La Villa Strangiato" which highlighted the band members' virtuosity.
6. Signals (1982)
The opening and closing track are two of the greatest prog-rock songs ever written. Rush didn't shy away from making use of technology and the result is a breathtaking record that captivates listeners.
5. Fly by Night (1975)
The first album to feature Neil Peart – it was a pivotal moment for the band because it was a step towards prog-rock. It's as raw as it can get.
4. A Farewell to Kings (1977)
It's masterful, original, and thought-provoking. There aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe its sheer brilliance.
3. Permanent Waves (1980)
Ranking these albums is harder than it seems only because ALL of them are great and in more ways than one, untouchable even after all these years. If there was any lingering doubt about Rush deserving their god-tier status, this album laid all that to rest. It cemented the group as a powerhouse prog-rock institution.
2. 2112 (1976)
How to describe something as epic as this? It's a monolithic record that keeps you on the edge of your seat. For many fans, this was their introduction to the band. It's not just an album but a musical journey.
1. Moving Pictures (1981)
If Rush only released Tom Sawyer and YYZ and nothing else, they'd still be legends. Even with so many spectacular albums, this is a real standout. All songs, even the less popular ones, are the very definition of perfection.


As we mentioned earlier in the year, we have many clients looking to push content out of Documentum for consumers. We are currently deploying this type of application for a client with specific requirements in how to display the date in the consumer interface. For many of our web applications, we leverage client utilities (YUI, GWT, etc) to expedite the user interface development. During testing of the application, we uncovered a bug that was easily fixed but the root cause of the issue is something to keep in mind as you are building web applications and relying on client side processing to generate information.
Our search result screen displayed a date and leveraged the Java application server to parse and format the date object to display to users in the GMT time zone.
As you can see, the application was showing two different dates for the same document. Since the official timestamp of the document fell within the 5 hour window and we were using two different time zones to interpret the date, the date was a day off in the CDT zone. While the fix for this was straightforward (we adjusted the client side driven date to be GMT) the ramifications of a date mismatch in a production environment are major.
These types of issues are easily overlooked during development and testing phases because development environments typically have clients/servers set up in the same location and time zone. This reinforces that when defining requirements, it is important to consider all factors, even something as simple as time zones.

On Monday, PromaxBDA officially opened for entries. That means that all of the details and materials you need to enter the 2017 Promotion, Marketing and Design North America Awards are currently live on their website.
There are a lot of changes this year, so we've gone through to highlight the key takeaways for this year's competition. Here's everything you need to know about Promax 2017, updated continually as new developments arise.
Promax has opened up almost a full month later than it did last year and maybe it's just us, but the deadlines feel tighter than ever before.
PSA: Promax has noted on its website that deadlines are subject to change, and so the competition advises to "please check back often for updates." We'll keep an eye out for updates and post them on the Brave Dog Twitter and Facebook feeds.
If your department is on a tighter budget this year, we recommend you register to become a PromaxBDA member (if you haven't already) and shoot for the first deadline of Feb. 7. Prices to submit entries will go up substantially in the coming weeks.
Single entry: $275 for members, $375 for non-members.
Campaign entry: $375 for members, $475 for non-members.
Single entry: $350 for members, $450 for non-members.
Campaign entry: $450 for members, $550 for non-members.
Single entry: $425 for members, $525 for non-members.
Campaign entry: $525 for members, $625 for non-members.
This year, Promax went back to its old-school days of separating general promotion categories from its Design & Art Direction categories. In fact, the overall organization of the categories has been significantly changed. There are new names for old categories, and new sections and codes. Multiple categories have been consolidated and many categories have been deleted all together.
While the competition has created a category selection and keyword suggestion tool that will help finding the right categories for entries at submission time, we still find it's easier on the eyes to make our recommendations using old-fashioned physical print-outs.
Things are going to look a little jumbled and confusing at first glance, so we've put together a list to help you find your bearings as you work.
The "Music" and "Special" Categories begin with S.
In some cases, the categories within each section are organized alphabetically instead of by subject, as has been the case in the past. However, this doesn't seem to be the case throughout.
Many categories that once fell under Art Direction & Design have become more generalized promotional categories.
Promax removed several categories we previously pointed out as redundant in this guide. This has shifted category numbers slightly for the Art Direction and Design group.
AD 15: On-Air Illustration is now AD 12.
AD 16: On-Air Typography is now AD 13.
AD 24: Channel Image Campaign is now AD 21 — and so on.
Be sure you're using the correct, updated category numbers for your entries in the Art Direction & Design group!
Art Direction & Design: Promotional/Premium/Specialty Items.
Promax has added several new categories since the competition started, bringing the count up to 10 additions this year.
Read our post on the new categories for more information.
If you've entered Promax before, you're sure to come across some familiar-sounding categories. Or perhaps there was a category that would be perfect for this year's creative — but you can't find it. Here, we run down our list of all of the edited/renamed/combined/and moved categories.
Best Voiceover Performance has been moved to the "Special Categories" section.
Categories that begin with On-Air Consumer Tie-In/Brand Integrated (Spot/Campaign) have been changed to Brand Integration. "Branded Content" is now its own section.
Total Package Art Direction & Design: News Program Graphics is now AD 04: News Programs Open/Titles. This new category includes graphics, open/titles and program bumpers.
There is no longer an Art Direction Category. S 01: Music Video or Short Subject Video has been moved to the "Music" section.
TV 46: Webisode or Viral Video is no longer a Design & Art Direction Category.
Technical Innovations is now DS 12: Technical Innovations – Digital Platforms.
P 01: 3-D Promotional or Sales Kit is no longer a Design & Art Direction Category. It is now a general promotional category.
The general promotion and Design & Art Direction "Promotional/Premium/Specialty Items" categories have been collapsed to the single, general P 14: Premium or Specialty Items.
The Outdoor/Environmental/ Static Ad (both the Channel and Program categories) has been consolidated to P 09: Out of Home Ad. There's also a campaign category for multiple elements, called P 10: Out of Home Ad- Campaign.
The Print Craft Categories have been incorporated into the general "Print" section.
Once housed in the "Multimedia" section, TV 61: Children's Multimedia Campaign category now lives in the "Marketing Creativity – Children" section.
Once a craft design category, S 07: Virtual Reality or 360 Camera Implementation now exists as a general promotional category.
We'll keep you updated with Promax news as it becomes available and continue to post more "tips" blogs in the coming weeks.
And if you need help with Promax, or any competition, the Brave Dog team is always standing by to assist. Get in touch!

La Casa De Papel – Season 5 Episode 1 Recap & Review
Episode 1 of La Casa De Papel Season 5 begins with Lisbon entering the bank and the Professor promising they're going to war. Of course, that's before Sierra finds the Professor's hideout and holds him up at gunpoint. She's not going to fire though, instead remaining determined to make sure he's sentenced to life behind bars to pay for what he's done.
With the two sides at a stand-off, the Professor's predictions come true – and Lisbon is well prepared for this. She relays his message to the others, telling them the plan has changed. They've got a window of about 3-4 hours and in that time Tamayo is going to bring in the army. He rings his contact, Sagasta, and orders the man to jump into the fray along with his operational team.
If that wasn't bad enough, the situation with Arturo drives a wedge between the group. Honestly, how this guy is still alive is beyond me. Anyway, the situation has turned desperate, with the plan now focusing on extraction rather than holding out for the gold. Following Nairobi's death, everything is poised on a knife-edge.
Lisbon tries in vain to communicate with the Professor but of course, he's being kept at Sierra's mercy. Unfortunately, this also means Sierra is aware that Raquel is inside the bank. This gives her enough ammunition to interrogate the Professor, holding a gun up to him and shooting the man in the thigh.
As blood oozes down his leg, Sierra goes one step further, suspending the Professor over a precarious edge, forcing him to speak and divulge his entire plan. Well, the Professor refuses to speak and in fact, goads her on to fire. "I'd love to…" She whispers, leaving him suspended while walking away.
In the middle of all this chaos, there's a really nice moment between Tokyo and Lisbon. With the latter in the bath, she reflects on the romantic implications of the Professor doing everything he could to get her into the National Trust. Given Tokyo's past, involving her partner Rene killed during the heist prior to season 1 beginning, she understands that same sense of sacrifice.
During flashbacks we see more of Berlin's past too, meeting his son Rafael and walking with him through the quaint streets of Copenhagen. As they sit down to eat together – following a run-in with Berlin's wife Tatiana – he propositions the boy to join in the heist as an engineer. As Berlin puts it, he's offering up a "guaranteed path to liberation."
Back in the present, the situation with the helicopter has all been planned out by the Professor. He's well aware that this would lead to the army finding the abandoned copter in the field, with two decoys planted – Benjamin and Marseille – to feed false information about a red Volvo. As the police chase it down, it soon becomes apparent that it's all a big ruse to throw the army off the Professor's scent. Marseille is actually in a different truck and manages to get away without arousing suspicions.
Back in the bank, the Professor communicates with Lisbon. He tells her and the gang that there's no extraction and just like that, Inspector Sierra speaks up. A knot forms in all their stomachs as they realize the noose is tightening around them all. "I'm sorry," The Professor chimes in, retorting this to every member of the group.
With no Plan B and everything looking bleak, the army shows up outside the National Trust. It's the end of the road for our gang.
La Casa De Papel (Or Money Heist but honestly, what a bland English title for a bombastic action thriller) is back and the first episode sets things up nicely for the season to come. The blend of classical music with the action serves up a pretty stylish cocktail, while the drama works well to ease us into the main conflicts this year.
This opening chapter wastes absolutely no time getting right to the heart of the drama and it seems like our gang are up against the ropes. With the army arriving, Sierra in control and the Professor seemingly having no Plan B, how are our gang going to escape the bank?
Either way, seeing the focus shift to the secondary characters more than Tokyo over these past few seasons has actually been a really wise move and following Nairobi's death, there's a lot of unresolved tensions and drama still to come over this season. What will happen next? We'll have to wait and find out!

Q: Custom keymap not available in Gnome Input sources I've created a custom keymap based on Bepo (a french dvorak-like), which is working correctly when I set it using
setxkbmap fr bepo_prog

However, this keyboard mapping is not visible in Gnome input sources selector. It wouldn't be a problem if I used my bepo keyboard everytime, but it is a laptop so sometimes I go back to azerty. It is especially problematic when I want to unlock the computer, since the keymap set by setxkbmap takes priority over Gnome shell layout selector (i.e. layout selector does not work anymore), and it can be extremely painful to put the password (which is really long) to unlock the session (I just started learning bepo so it can be hard to type for now without looking at the keyboard).
Is there anyway for Gnome to see this custom layout?
I'm on a Fedora 21, with Gnome 3.14.
Thanks in advance!

A: I'm on Debian with Gnome 3.14.1.  For my custom keyboard layout, I got Gnome to recognize it by adding the details to /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml.
The layout "fr" is already in that file on my system, but the variant "bepo_prog" isn't.  If yours is the same, the best way is probably to search through evdev.xml for the string "bepo" and duplicate it's variant section, so you'd probably add something like this to the file:
<variant>
  <configItem>
    <name>bepo_prog</name>
    <description>French (Bepo, ergonomic, Prog)</description>
  </configItem>
</variant>

If that doesn't work in Fedora, you might try following the more detailed guide at the X.org site.

Most weddings go off flawlessly, with the guests all behaving themselves and having a magnificent time. But, every once in a while, a situation arises where a wedding guest must be forcibly removed or restrained. Here are some tips for handling this scenario, so nothing prevents the execution of your ideal, dream wedding.
If you know that your aunt hates your fiancé or his cousin has a reputation for drinking too much and getting belligerent, it is important to let the planner be aware. You don't have to withdraw the person's invitation or put a muzzle on them, but you can have a trusted family member keep a close eye on him or her.
If someone has a serious objection to your union, don't wait until you are at the altar to address it. Speak to the individual privately or send one of your parents. Talking through the problem could help clear up the misunderstanding.
When speaking with the objectionable person, find out what the issue is. If it involves something that cannot be resolved, such as the race or religion of the fiancé, then it may be in your best interest to take away the invitation. This is harsh, but you should not be worrying about Uncle Mortimer making an offensive statement on your big day.
Open bars can lead to open mouths, and people's true opinions will start to come out. They may also start acting foolish, rude, or inappropriate. This does not mean you should have a dry wedding; it means that you need to make sure your bartender does not over serve anyone.
Don't let bad situations get further out of control. Have an usher quickly remove the inconsiderate individual so that the ceremony and reception can proceed.
Best of luck on your coming nuptials!

Dennis Gerrard Stephen Doherty dit Denny Doherty, né le  à Halifax et mort le  à Mississauga, est un chanteur, compositeur et acteur canadien. Il fut l'un des membres du groupe The Mamas & The Papas.

Biographie

Début de carrière
Né en 1940 à Halifax, Denny Doherty commence sa carrière musicale en 1956 à Halifax au sein d'un groupe nommé The Hepsters. Avec ses amis Richard Sheehan, Eddie Thibodeau et Mike O'Connell, il parcourt les clubs de sa région. Ils restent ensemble durant deux ans et ont un grand succès auprès du public en raison de la voix particulière de Doherty. En 1960, Doherty fonde le groupe folk The Colonials à Montréal. Ils décrochent un contrat auprès de Columbia Records et changent de nom pour The Halifax Three. Ils sortent une chanson qui constitue un petit succès, The Man Who Wouldn't Sing Along with Mitch, mais la formation se sépare en 1963.

En 1963, il rencontre Cass Elliot, alors dans le groupe The Big Three. Lors d'une tournée de The Halifax Three, Doherty fait la connaissance de John Phillips et sa femme, Michelle Phillips. Quelques mois plus tard, Doherty et Zal Yanovsky rejoignent The Big Three à la demande d'Elliot qui avait réussi à convaincre son manager d'engager des anciens membres de The Halifax Three. Le nombre du groupe passe ainsi à quatre et ne va pas tarder à être renommé The Mugwumps. Mais cette formation rencontre des problèmes financiers et doit se séparer. La chanson Creeque Alley des Mamas and Papas revient brièvement sur cet événement.

À ce moment, le nouveau groupe de John Philips, The New Journeymen, a besoin d'un nouveau chanteur pour remplacer Marshall Brickman qui aspire à une nouvelle carrière dans la télévision. Doherty, alors au chômage, accepte l'invitation au début de 1965. Elliot est également engagée dans le groupe qui devient The Magic Circle. En septembre 1965, le groupe signe un contrat avec Dunhill Records et devient The Mamas and the Papas. Le groupe enregistre leur premier album, If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears.

Relation avec Michelle Phillips
En 1965, Doherty et Michelle Phillips entretiennent une relation secrète, malgré leur exposition constante auprès du public et des médias. La liaison est toutefois découverte et John et Michelle déménagent (ils partageaient une maison avec Doherty), ce qui n'empêcha pas le groupe de continuer d'enregistrer ensemble. Les membres décident malgré tout en juin 1966 d'exclure Michelle, avec l'appui du label, et de la remplacer par , l'amie de leur producteur Lou Adler. Elle ne reste que 10 semaines dans la formation et, en raison de la demande croissante des fans et de John, Michelle peut réintégrer les Mamas & Papas à la fin août 1966. Le groupe est en crise et Elliot quitte le groupe alors qu'ils sont en train de travailler sur le nouvel album. Ce départ scelle le destin des Mamas & Papas qui se séparent durant l'été 1968.

L'après Mamas & Papas
Elliot et Doherty restent amis et elle le demande même en mariage, mais il refuse. En 1974, Elliot décède à l'âge de 32 ans. Doherty est profondément attristé par la nouvelle et il assiste à l'enterrement aux côtés des autres membres. En 1982, il participe à une réunification temporaire des Mamas & Papas avec John Philipps, sa fille Mackenzie Philipps et . Ils font une tournée et jouent leurs anciens tubes ainsi que de nouvelles compositions de John Philipps.

Doherty produit un spectacle à Broadway, Dream A Little Dreams, une narration qui revient sur l'histoire de The Mamas & The Papas. L'accueil est plutôt bon et l'avis des critiques est positif. En 1993, Doherty double des personnages dans la série pour enfants Theodore Tugboat pour la CBC.

Doherty apparaît dans l'épisode 10 de la saison 7 de Trailer Park Boys en tant qu'agent du FBI. Le tournage se déroule peu de temps avant son décès. L'épisode finit avec une mention rendant hommage à Denny Doherty.

Il succombe le  à son domicile de Mississauga d'une insuffisance rénale après avoir été opéré d'un anévrisme à l'aorte. Il avait trois enfants : Jessica, Emberly et John.

A couple had been married 50 years and decided they wanted to renew their vows.
They were discussing the details of their second wedding with their friends. She wasn't going to wear a traditional bridal gown, and she started describing the dress she was planning to wear.
One of her friends asked what color shoes she had to go with her dress.
At that point, her husband chimed in, "Yep, silver ... to match her hair."
Shooting a glaring look at his bald spot, her friend shot back, "So I guess you're going barefoot."


What makes a partner / what are we looking for?
If you do not provide the above then you could always look to the referral scheme.
We check out everyone that we do business with, this is to reduce the possibility of fraud and to make sure that we don't inadvertently deal with individuals on any embargo lists.
Organisations wishing to become a Partner will be supported and trained as part of the product specific on-boarding process. You will be assigned a dedicated contact point within IC who will be able to help you more as they understand your business.
As wholesalers are taking the contract on themselves to re-sell or accredited partners are indirectly representing us, you must pass the know your customer and credit checks for the service that you intend to re-sell. These checks will include identity checks and cross verification with multiple credit rating agencies.
We believe in a 'no bull' policy and expect our partners to do the same. This is a two-way interaction and our reputation is on the line as well as yours, so we must first and foremost 'trust' our partners.
You manage the customer's account for them and provide support and ancillary services, IC handle the legal, legislative and commercial aspects including billing, collection and debt management. IC provide second line support to you and you get a commission payment monthly.
You buy the services directly and resell to your customers, you are responsible for all aspects of the arrangements and legal obligations. You are a registered operator and have full billing capability. IC provides a single bill and CDR files for services and usage each month.
This is how most partners choose to operate. IC invoices the customer for the vanilla services and pays a commission to the partner. The partner then invoices the customer for their own additional services and customer care.
Despite IC doing the billing and commercials we recognise that you bought the account to us and your customer is ring fenced by our system to keep them locked to you. If they contact us directly and purchase more services then it is simply added to the account and counts towards you.
Trained and capable of recommending and supporting the essentials for a business including the customers LAN, WLR phone lines, Broadband, Ethernet & Backup.
Trained to supply, install and support our full voice portfolio including hosted telephony and SIP trunking services.
Suitably qualified and trained to implement security and WiFi solutions including deployment / installation and survey.
Deploying servers and software services and linking systems together.
As the partner is performing first line customer support and ordering / deploying the solutions then IC shares the margin with the partner on the services provided. Each month the partner will receive a statement showing all spend, costs and profit for every customer, this is then divided based on spend levels with a split of up to 50% for the larger partners.
Deal registration is available to allow a partner to lock in a prospect in advance and gain price support to help bringing on board new customers.
The wholesale partner buys at a discount and is responsible for the contract in a financial and legal way. The partner then re-sells the service directly to their end customer.
You are assumed to be knowledgeable and capable in providing support for your customers and our support team only interface with your technical team.
This method of buying is far more complex and has considerable requirements. Under the regulations, data communications are now equivalently treated as voice providers and the same rules apply. Below are a few of the requirements from regulatory bodies and IC. The list is only a short guide, you are ultimately responsible as an independent provider.
In order to provide certain data and voice services this would be required but primarily this makes you known to Ofcom as a provider and thus you are acknowledging their rules and become directly liable to them for your supply.
This is a mandatory item and non-negotiable it is the law.
IC will supply a single bill with associated report broken down by site plus CDR files for service charges and calls in CSV format.
There are now specific requirements for advertising and promotion or sales of specific services.
It is a requirement to have an alternative dispute resolution scheme and clear instructions on its use displayed on your website and available for your customers.
Under HMRC rules certain elements of billing have reverse charge VAT applied when being bought for resale.
IC will need to conduct additional checks to ensure stability for your customers and against fraud, accounts will be insured against default and if this is not available a bond / upfront deposit may be required.
Given the additional administration required and the discounts applied we have a minimum spend limit which is currently set at £2,500 per month - we do provide a ramp up grace period. This limit is purposely kept low, typically at the level an average medium business spends with us, and this is to ensure quality of partners and progressive partners giving you peace of mind.
The regulations are constantly changing and being added to so the above is only a pointer to ensure that the basic items are in place.
A select number of products and services will be made available from the retail range in addition to wholesale only versions allowing you to pre-package your services more freely and appropriately to your customer base. The pricing received will reflect the stripped-down nature of the wholesale products and a tiered discount scheme is available based on overall spend or annual commit.


Moxley Architects gained planning approval for this new build, mixed use scheme on the corner of Bayswater Road and Inverness Terrace. Thirteen residential units over A1 retail space at ground floor with basement parking. In addition the design incorporates staff facilities and a dedicated servicing / loading bay in Inverness Terrace.

The Bundespresseball is considered the most important event in the German capital. Every year, about 2500 guests from politics, economics, culture and media are invited to the Intercontinental Hotel in the heart of Berlin. In 2011 the president was the guest of honour again. Surrounded by a number of ministers, President Wulff and his wife enjoyed performances from Nena and others. As is tradition, the Bundespresseball was opened with a Wiener Waltz by the Bundespresident and his wife at the stroke of 20:00h.
Pre-Motion is proud to say the Catwalker Compact was one of the eye-catchers at the event. In two areas at the Intercontinental Hotel, compact conveyor belts were installed to make the delicious dishes go around.

Michigan Protections for Sources and Source Material
Note: This page covers information specific to Michigan. See the section on Protecting Sources and Source Material for more general information.
Michigan has two shield law statutes that may protect your sources and source material, but only in limited circumstances. The Michigan shield laws apply only when you receive a subpoena as part of a grand jury proceeding or as part of a criminal investigation. But they offer you no protection in civil cases (whether you are a party to the case or not), or when a criminal defendant seeks information from you.
Federal courts in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which encompasses Michigan, recognize a qualified "reporter's privilege" based on the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. However, the scope of this privilege is uncertain because courts in the Sixth Circuit have only addressed the reporter's privilege in two cases.
The Privacy Protection Act may protect you against the search and/or seizure, in connection with a criminal investigation or prosecution, of materials you possess in connection with a purpose to disseminate to the public a newspaper, book, broadcast, or other similar form of public communication. This federal statutory protection applies regardless of the state in which you live.
Shield Laws
Circumstances of Protection
Michigan's two shield laws apply when prosecutors seek information in criminal cases. The first shield law applies to grand jury proceedings. Grand jury proceedings occur when a prosecutor decides to charge someone with a crime. The prosecutor must ask the grand jury to indict the accused person before the person can be tried for the crime. In other words, grand juries decide preliminarily whether there is sufficient evidence for government to try the accused person. As part of this process, government prosecutors sometimes issue subpoenas to third parties (i.e., people not involved in the criminal case) who might have relevant information, including the press. The grand jury shield provides protection against these subpoenas.
The second Michigan shield law applies to subpoenas issued by prosecutors as part of a criminal investigation. The prosecutorial investigation shield may give you protection if you receive such a subpoena.
Michigan's shield laws do not apply when a criminal defendant seek information from you. They also do not apply in civil cases.
Source and Statutory Text
Michigan's grand jury shield can be found at MCL 767.5a. The state's prosecutorial investigation shield law can be found at MCL 767A.6(6).
Both laws cover "a reporter or other person who is involved in the gathering or preparation of news for broadcast or publication." Both laws protect "the identity of an informant, any unpublished information obtained from an informant, or any unpublished matter or documentation, in whatever manner recorded, relating to a communication with an informant."
The grand jury shield has this exception: it does not apply in "an inquiry for a crime punishable by imprisonment for life when it has been established that the information which is sought is essential to the purpose of the proceeding and that other available sources of the information have been exhausted."
The prosecutorial investigation shield has two exceptions: it does not cover published information, and it does not cover situations in which the newsgatherer is the subject of the investigation.
Both shield laws protect "a reporter or other person who is involved in the gathering or preparation of news for broadcast or publication." The shields appear to cover anyone who is involved in spreading "news" to the public, which should cover many online publishers and non-traditional journalists. However, Michigan courts have not had a chance to address the meaning of this statutory language and have not defined "news."
The second shield law, which covers investigations by prosecutors, excludes from coverage those who are the subject of a criminal investigation. Therefore, if you are the subject of a criminal investigation, you cannot rely on the prosecutorial investigation shield to refuse to disclose information.
Both shield laws protect three things. First, they protect the identity of "informants." Second, they protect any other unpublished information you have obtained from an "informant." Third, they protect any notes, recordings, and similar materials made in connection with your communications with an "informant." The shield laws do not define the term "informant," but it probably applies what is commonly called a "source." They do not distinguish between confidential and non-confidential information, as long as it is not published.
How Strong is the Protection?
Remember, the shield laws only apply to investigations by prosecutors and grand jury proceedings. They do not protect you from inquiries by criminal defendants or parties in civil cases.
When the shields apply, they are, with one exception, "absolute." That means that if you and your information are protected by the shield, courts may never order you to reveal it.
The one exception is that the grand jury shield does not cover "an inquiry for a crime punishable by imprisonment for life when it has been established that the information which is sought is essential to the purpose of the proceeding and that other available sources of the information have been exhausted." In other words, to obtain your information in a grand jury proceeding, a prosecutor must show all of the following:
The case concerns a crime punishable by life imprisonment;
The information is "essential" to the proceeding; and
No other source of the same information is available.
Note also that the prosecutorial investigation shield does not protect you when you are the subject of a criminal investigation.
For more detailed information about the Michigan shield law, see the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press's Privilege Compendium: Michigan.
Constitutional Protection in Federal Court
Federal courts in the Sixth Circuit, which encompasses Michigan, have recognized a qualified reporter's privilege based on the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. To date, courts have applied it to the identity of confidential sources only.
The scope of the federal reporter's privilege is uncertain in federal court in Michigan. Some lower federal courts in the Sixth Circuit have applied the privilege to individuals outside the traditional press, such as writers of a non-profit organization's newsletter and a freelance writer. These cases do not have weight as precedent, so it is uncertain whether other courts would follow them.
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has held that the reporter's privilege protects the identity of confidential sources. The Court of Appeals and lower courts have not yet decided whether the privilege protects other information or non-confidential sources.
The federal reporter's privilege is qualified. That means that, even if you are protected by the privilege, a court or other legal body may order disclosure of the information in question upon a strong showing of need by the party seeking the information.
Federal courts in the Sixth Circuit have not determined whether the reporter's privilege applies in cases where a criminal defendant or prosecutor in a criminal case is seeking information from a reporter. It does not apply when a grand jury issues a subpoena requesting information.
For additional information, see the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press's Privilege Compendium: 6th Circuit.
Privacy Protection Act
The Privacy Protection Act (PPA) makes it unlawful for government officials to search for or seize work product or documentary materials possessed by a person in connection with a purpose to disseminate to the public a newspaper, book, broadcast, or other similar form of public communication. 42 U.S.C. § 2000aa(a),(b). If you are covered by the PPA, it can protect you from both state and federal officials, regardless of what state you live in. To learn more about the PPA, see General: Legal Protections for Confidential Sources and Source Material.

UK and Canada announce global alliance to end coal power
Published on 11/10/2017, 8:51pm
UK and Canada challenge other nations to join them in committing to end coal power generation, saying "we are doing our part"

By Karl Mathiesen
The UK and Canada on Wednesday called on other nations to join them in ridding their energy sectors of coal power.
The two nations have committed to phase coal out of their electricity generation – by 2025 in the UK and 2030 in Canada.
Canada's minister for the environment Catherine McKenna and UK climate minister Claire Perry met at the Houses of Parliament in London. Afterwards, they released a joint statement calling for an end to the use of the fuel that creates more carbon emissions than any other.

"Phasing unabated coal power out of the energy mix and replacing it with cleaner technologies will significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, improve the health of our communities, and benefit generations to come," the ministers said.
The announcement followed a September meeting between leaders Justin Trudeau and Theresa May, during which they agreed to team up on driving the global transition away from coal.
Coal plays a small role in the nations' electricity mix – producing roughly 9% of electricity in both. Canada already gets 59% percent of its power from hydroelectricity.
In the UK, where coal first ignited the industrial revolution, EU pollution rules and a domestic carbon floor price are rapidly driving the fuel out of the mix. This year, with the growing influence of renewable energy, the UK began experiencing summer days during which not a single coal station needed to be turned on.
"We are doing our part, but we recognise the need to accelerate the international transition from burning coal to using cleaner power sources," said McKenna and Perry. "Today, we announce that Canada and the UK will champion a global alliance on the transition from unabated coal-fired electricity."
The term "unabated" means without carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, which can remove CO2 from power station emissions and pump it underground. CCS has yet to take off on a commercial scale.
Both the UK and Canada have significant non-coal fossil fuel industries, which their governments continue to back. The UK recently announced a £5 million subsidy for North Sea oil exploration.
Canada extracts heavy oil from tar sands, in a carbon-intensive process. A number of pipelines are planned to transport that oil to other markets.
On Tuesday at a conference at Chatham House in London, McKenna defended the industry.
"We still are going to get our resources to market in the near term; we are still going to use oil and gas," she said. "I am elected to represent the people of Canada… that includes tar sands workers."
Report: Netherlands to end coal power by 2030, closing down new plants
The ministers did not specify which countries they viewed as prospective alliance members. The Netherlands is a recent candidate to join, after announcing a coal phase out by 2030 on Wednesday.
For many other nations, joining the UK and Canada will be more difficult politically or technically. Developing countries argue that it is the responsibility of the rich to end their use of coal first. India's government is adamant it will continue burning coal "for decades to come".
The UK-Canada alliance will be launched at the COP23 climate talks in Bonn, Germany in November. In Germany, coal still produces 40% of electricity.
Next week, a group of oddly-matched left and right parties will begin negotiations to build a coalition government. A coal phase out promises to be a tough issue.
German Green politicians told Clean Energy Wire and Climate Home this week that there would not be a coalition without progress on climate change. Chancellor Angela Merkel will have to balance this against her own conservative party's cautious stance on the energy transition and that of the economically liberal Free Democratic Party.

Canada and EU countries have seized the diplomatic initiative on climate change in 2017. Last month, representatives of 35 countries met in Montreal hosted by Canada, China and the EU. The meeting replaced a similar climate leadership group formerly hosted by the US.
At Chatham House, McKenna said the political upheavals in Canada's neighbour had "strengthened their resolve" to tackle climate change.
"It used to be the US hosted major economies to discuss and advance action. This was certainly the case under president Obama," said McKenna. When it became clear this would not happen under Donald Trump – in June he announced he would withdraw the US from the Paris climate deal as soon as possible – McKenna flew to Berlin to meet Chinese and EU counterparts.
"We had a discussion for the need for global leadership and the need for us to step up," she said.
