Those who have had to search for free stock photos on the internet will know what a hassle it can be. Free stock photos are tricky to find, with a lot of companies charging £10 or more for just a single photo. Then even when you can find them for free, they're often watermarked or in low resolution.
But luckily for you, I've put together a list of my favourite stock photo websites. Suitable for business owners, designers and anybody else who might find them useful.
Unsplash adds 10 new royalty-free photos every 10 days, so there are endless photos of all sorts, but mainly breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. Just scroll through the homepage to see gorgeous mountain ranges, colourful sunsets or nature – all in their very high-resolution glory. This is one of the sites that I use the most.
Another site that I use almost daily, Pixabay features photos, illustrations and vectors. The images are brilliant, and most of them don't require any attribution at all. Plus the site's easy to use – it's a web designer's dream!
The photos on Gratisography feature some of the most evocative images on the web. Although there isn't quite as much choice as there is on the previous two sites, the fabulous and royalty free pictures on here make this one of the best stock-free photo sites to go to for both commercial and personal projects.
Picjumbo provides extremely high-resolution photos, vectors and videos with no attribution required. The website is simple to navigate around as well. They provide pictures of most things, but its greatest collection is of food shots. So if you're running a business in this sector (or you're just a big foodie like me!) this is a website worth checking out.
The collection of incredibly high-resolution images from Superfamous are most ideal for web design or to use as background images. They're supplied by Dutch artist Folkert Gorter and his graphic-design peers. Just make sure to provide attribution.
FreeImages is one of the most comprehensive directories of free stock images. While a lot of stock photo websites focus on a specific topic of photo, this website offers thousands of images from a variety of categories.
Providing both modern and vintage scenic photos, Public Domain Archive have an extensive online collection of images. A lot of them have striking symmetry and muted colours.
All of the high resolution images of DesignerPics are given free of copyright by Jeshu John, photographer, web designer and developer. The gallery isn't huge but the website provides categories which is always handy.
Magdeleine features the work of a variety of different photographers. The great thing about this site is that not only can you search by keyword, but also by category, type of license and colour. Being able to search for colour is handy when you need an image that will blend with existing elements on your website or branding.
Some of the images on this site require attribution. Be sure to check the license of the image you want.
MorgueFile has a streamlined layout and carefully curated list of free photos that you can use for both commercial and non-commercial projects. The selection isn't as large as some of the other sites, but the photos included cover all sorts of topics.
When searching for an image on Google, the photos in the results aren't usually ones that are free to use for business purposes. In most cases, the photos still have the photographer's rights.
If you want to use photos and keep yourself out of copyright trouble, you need to find websites that explicitly define the copyright license for each image. With all the sites I have listed here, the licenses are generally pretty easy to find. There's usually a description of the license on every page or at least a link to a description.
Attribution is simple. Just add the text by the image you're using that cites the photographer (e.g. Tom Smith) and include a link to his or her site if there is one.

Three kids awaken a dark presence in an abandoned house, and find themselves fighting for their lives as adults. A young girl faces off against a demon on an otherwise ordinary day in music class. A skeptic historian is forced to confront Civil War ghosts at Gettysburg. These are some of the tales in Steve Ogden's collection Headstones and Monuments, which perfectly captures the fears of our here and now, and the nightmares of all our yesteryears, complete with some true ghost stories from Ogden's youth. Fans of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman will be eager to read this, yet Ogden brings a voice to the genre which is all his own.
This is a wonderful read full of suspense, scares, and amazing characters. Those who have followed Steve Ogden's work in comics already know him as a talented storyteller, and will not be surprised to find this prose is suspense writing at its best - rather than cheap scares or grisly tales of man's inhumanity to man, this collection is comprised of sympathetic characters confronted by spooky and unsettling situations. These stories scare without any "cheap shots".
In Headstones and Monuments, Steve Ogden shows that he is capable of remembering the truly terrifying parts of the best years of our lives.
Steve Ogden has been drawing since he was three years old, and writing since he was six. Ogden has found a voice for his writing in the game industry, working for such luminaries as Cyan (Myst, Riven) and Firaxis Games (Civilization, X-COM). He is also the creative force behind the long running comic strip Croaker's Gorge and the graphic novel Moon Town. Headstones and Monuments is his first volume of published prose. He lives just north of Baltimore in Maryland's wine country with his wife and three sons. Visit him at www.steveogden.com.

WE SUPPORT GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK
PRESERVING CULTURAL RESOURCES
BAR BC DUDE RANCH
GRAND TETON HAMMER CORPS
MORMON ROW HISTORIC DISTRICT
LUCAS FABIAN HOMESTEAD
CULTURAL RESOURCE INITIATIVE
The Foundation's Cultural Resource Initiative funds priority projects that reflect Grand Teton National Park's history, foster connections to places, are accessible to visitors, and increase engagement in the park's cultural treasures.
National park and history enthusiasts care deeply about preserving the stories and artifacts that have shaped the Grand Teton visitors know today. Together we are helping to maintain and interpret these cultural resources for generations to come.
Established in 1912, the 763-acre Bar BC Dude Ranch is a central element of Jackson Hole's rich cultural history due to its integral role in the dude ranching movement.
Its fame spread far beyond Jackson Hole through the reputation of its colorful owners and clientele that included Ernest Hemingway, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and William Faulkner.
The two largest structures, the Corse and Main cabins, were in poor condition and improvements to both were completed in summer 2018 and 2019. The outcome is an interpretive district people can visit by foot, boat, horse, or car to enjoy the Bar BC area and better appreciate the dude ranch experience, magnificent location, and historical importance. Preservation of Bar BC will prevent further deterioration and will improve the safety of the area, making it a fun and educational place for visitors to explore.
This historic preservation volunteer program is a key resource for protecting the parks most significant properties.
The goal of Hammer Corps is to provide a formal and consistent avenue for returning volunteers, increase opportunities for service projects, and establish an effective model for future years. Volunteers contribute thousands of hours to preservation projects in Grand Teton National Park each summer, accomplishing much-needed work that would not be possible without them.
Grand Teton's Mormon Row Historic District is one of the most visited sites in Jackson Hole due to its historical relevance and beautiful setting.
Part of the National Register of Historic Places, Mormon Row is one of the country's best representations of an early 1900s western farming community. Over the last century, the vacant buildings have succumbed to the harsh elements of weather in Jackson Hole. Roofs, foundations, and corrals are just a few of the many areas on Mormon Row that have been slowly degrading over time.
The Foundation is currently working in partnership with the park to discuss a multi-year effort that will ensure this incredible landmark is accessible for visitors well into the future.
Resting on the edge of Cottonwood Creek, the Geraldine Lucas Homestead-Harold Fabian Place is one of Grand Teton's hidden cultural gems.
Comprised of a handful of log buildings with sweeping Teton views, the property is historically significant to the park and a favorite destination among visitors who know of its existence. The site has been vacant for decades and was greatly deteriorated due to years of exposure. Thanks to a Foundation donor, work was completed in summer 2015 and 2016 to improve access and restore structures at the Lucas Fabian Homestead.
Originally constructed by Geraldine Lucas and later acquired by Harold Fabian, the homestead is one of Grand Teton's cherished historic and cultural resources. Geraldine Lucas became the second woman to climb the Grand Teton in 1924 and remained on the property year-round until her death in 1938. In isolation, she braved harsh winters and deep snowpack, often using a team of Alaskan malamutes and a sled for transportation. Her sled is on display today in the transportation barn near Menor's Ferry in Moose, Wyoming.

AARP AARP Blogs Take Care
Family Caregivers Shouldn't Have to Go It Alone
By Elaine Ryan, July 13, 2015 12:31 PM
When State Representative Elaine Harvey's mother-in-law moved in with her she was also raising a two-year-old, four-year-old, seven-year-old, nine-year-old, and had little help from the outside. One day a week a public health nurse came to help bathe her mother-in-law, and that was it. "Essentially we were on our own," she says.
Family caregivers shouldn't have to do it alone. Today as a legislator, Rep. Harvey tries to "increase and encourage support" for family caregivers so they can have the support she didn't.
Last month I had the opportunity to sit on a PBS Panel with Rep. Harvey in Wyoming – her home state. We discussed some of the great ways her state supports family caregivers and the work that still needs to be done.
One of the ways Wyoming recently helped family caregivers is by increasing the support provided at home and in the community through the Wyoming Home Services program. This program provides critical support to help older Wyoming residents live at home – where they want to be –and the family caregivers who they depend on by providing:
Respite care to give family caregivers a hard-earned break
Personal assistance like help bathing, dressing, eating, and more
Help preparing meals, shopping, managing finances, or housework
This type of help at home not only provides critical support for family caregivers and their loved ones, it makes fiscal sense. As Representative Harvey said, "From a public policy standpoint it's certainly a lot less expensive." In fact, home care is a one third less expensive than the cost of institutional care, like a nursing home – paid for by Medicaid.
Fighting across the states
That's why AARP is fighting in states across the country for increases to this critical support and against budget cuts that could put it at risk. While states like Wyoming and New York have increased their support for care provided at home and in the community, it's at risk in many. Right now we're fighting in Alabama, to make sure the key services that help seniors remain at home are available, accessible and affordable.
If you are a family caregiver, you're not alone.
To stay up to date or to get involved with our caregiving advocacy in the states, sign up for the AARP Advocates e-newsletteror visit your state Web page.
To find the tools and support you need, as well as ways to connect with other caregivers, visit the AARP Caregiving Resource Center.
Elaine Ryan is the vice president of State Advocacy and Strategy Integration (SASI) for AARP. She leads a team of dedicated legislative staff members who work with AARP state offices to advance advocacy with governors and state legislators, helping people 50-plus attain and maintain their health and financial security.

Grandparents' Afternoon Tea hailed a success
Preparatory School pupils got the opportunity to enjoy the company of their grandparents at a special social event.
Rydal Penrhos welcomed family members for a Grandparents' Afternoon Tea on Tuesday, February 25.
Those in attendance were welcomed by Prep School head Lucy Davies, before descending on the Dining Hall.
They enjoyed refreshments provided by Holroyd Howe – the school's catering providers – which included everything from cakes, scones and pancakes to mark Shrove Tuesday.
Following the Afternoon Tea, grandparents then met up with pupils and were taken to their respective classrooms to witness first-hand the fantastic work being done on a daily basis under the guidance and support of Rydal Penrhos' dedicated staff.
This is the latest in a series of social events organised by Rydal Penrhos during the academic year to date, with the recent Prep and Senior Parent Dinners proving to be a huge success to start the spring term.
Mrs Davies, said: "What a pleasure it was to welcome over 50 grandparents for a delicious afternoon tea.
"It was fantastic for the pupils to join them towards the end and take them to their own classroom on a mini-tour – a special start to Shrove Tuesday for many of our families with Chef Pickle and his team doing some very posh pancakes."

Historic law firm chooses to stay in historic building
Home/Articles/Featured Article/Historic law firm chooses to stay in historic building
By Rachel Johnson
The current trend in Springfield is for businesses to relocate to the west side, but bucking that trend is the Brown, Hay and Stephens law firm. The oldest law firm in the state of Illinois, BHS has been at the corner of Fifth and Adams streets since 1858. An original tenant of the bank building that is currently U.S. Bank, the general practice law firm will celebrate 100 years in the building in 2020.
The growing law firm needs more space than the current 18,733 square feet they have. They looked both on the west side and at other downtown buildings. "We needed 25,000 square feet. There are not a lot of options when you need that much space in one building," said Jeffery Wilday, attorney and managing partner.
The law firm currently occupies the entire seventh and eighth floors of the bank building and a portion of the sixth. There were a few tenants on the ninth and tenth floors of the building, but the floors weren't full.
The next generation of lawyers at Brown, Hay and Stephens: Patrick J. Langdon, Jessica A. Nardulli, Austin Wright, Daniel L. Hamilton, Elizabeth A. Tracy, William A. Davis, Allison F. Richard, and David P. Hennessy.

U.S. Bank was willing to work to keep their tenant in the building. "Brown, Hay and Stephens is a very successful firm and had growth needs," U.S. Bank Regional President Mike Johnson said. "In order to continue to accommodate those, we retained all the clients in the building, but moved them to different spaces."
The Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln was on the ninth floor and agreed to move to the fifth floor. "Similar to us, the Community Foundation has tremendous respect for Brown, Hay and Stephens, and just wanted them to stay in the building also," Johnson said.
BHS employs 32 attorneys and 24 legal support staff, but despite a large pool of opinions, the consensus was to stay downtown. "That was kind of a surprising thing," Wilday said. "I thought there would be some support among the younger partners to move out west."
The plan is for BHS to trade out the 6th and 7th floors for the 9th and 10th floors while retaining offices on the 8th floor. Construction is currently in progress and they hope to be in their new space by the end of this year. "Living through a remodeling is very disruptive," Wilday said. "The real attractive part for us was that all that work could be going on these vacant floors up above us and then when it's time to move, we move up into finished space."
Brown, Hay and Stephens has been through several name changes, but a pillar of Springfield since 1828 when founder John Todd Stuart (Mary Lincoln's cousin) hung out his shingle on the corner of Sixth and Adams streets. After working with several partners, Lincoln among them, Stuart formed a partnership with Benjamin Edwards in 1843 which lasted 42 years. They eventually set up shop in the Bunn's Bank Building completed in 1858. It stood on the corner of Fifth and Adams streets where the U.S. Bank building is currently located. "Consisting of three floors and a basement, it was by all odds the finest business structure in Springfield," wrote Paul Angle and Robert Howard in their history of BHS in 1978, One Hundred Fifty Years of Law.
In 1860, Christopher Brown joined the firm and there has been Brown in the name of the firm ever since. Descendants of all the founders have woven their way through the history of the firm. The firm's growth has resulted not just from recruiting new graduates and lateral hires, but through mergers and acquisitions with other law firms. Whether to hire or keep a person depends on how compatible they are within the BHS culture. "Every firm has a different personality," Wilday said.
Laws can change over time and the business of law changes as well. When Stuart was starting out, Sangamon County was twice as large and was just a part of the First Circuit along with seven other counties. There were no libraries and few law books. Cases were decided largely on principle and the oratory talents of the lawyers. The lawyers spent a lot of time on the road traveling to clients.
In 2020, Brown, Hay and Stephens will mark 100 years in this building at the corner of Fifth and Adams.

Once the state became more populated and lawyers could stay in town, clients began to come to the offices of the firm. Now, even that is changing with technology. "We don't have as many clients coming to the office as we used to. Everything is done electronically or by conference calls," Wilday said.
In the future, Wilday predicts more legal research will be independently done online by companies who once would have reached out to a law firm.
Wilday deplores the exodus of jobs and people from downtown he says started a few years ago when Springfield lost a lot of state jobs. He hopes that BHS can set an example of keeping downtown alive.
"Things are happening downtown," Wilday said. "These young entrepreneurs come and set up shop downtown. I think the rents are a little cheaper downtown. I hope we find these people a way to live downtown and keep the young people in Springfield."

Jean Patou (* 27. September 1887 in Paris; † 23. Mai 1936 ebenda) war ein erfolgreicher französischer Modeschöpfer, Kostümbildner und Designer des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das von ihm 1912 gegründete Mode- und Parfüm-Unternehmen besteht unter dem Namen Patou bis heute und ist seit 2018 im Besitz von LVMH.

Leben und Unternehmen

Jean Patou
Jean Patou war der Sohn des Ledergerbers Charles Patou und dessen Frau Jeanne, die ihn in der Normandie großzogen. Bei seinem Onkel machte er eine Ausbildung als Kürschner. 1912 ging Patou nach Paris und eröffnete ein kleines Mode-Schneider-Atelier "Maison Parry". Dieses Jahr gilt als Gründungsjahr des späteren Luxuskonzerns. Patous Kollektionen entsprachen dem europäischen und amerikanischen Stil dieser Zeit – stilvoll, dezent, dennoch, elegant und luxuriös.

Bei Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs im Jahr 1914 kam Patou an die militärische Front der Dardanellen und kämpfte als Hauptmann in der Schlacht von Gallipoli mit. Derweil ruhte der Geschäftsbetrieb. Nach einem Lazarettaufenthalt kam Patou nach Belgien, wo er bis Kriegsende blieb. Wieder nach Paris zurückgekehrt, arbeitete Patou an seinem Comeback und eröffnete 1919 seine Boutique erneut – diesmal unter seinem eigenen Namen. Er konnte an seine vorherigen Erfolge anknüpfen. Unter seinen Kundinnen befanden sich Schauspielerinnen, Sängerinnen und wohlhabende Damen der Gesellschaft. Er ließ sich seinen Namen patentieren, stickte sein Monogramm (J.P.) als stilistisches Element beispielsweise auf seinen begehrten Cardigan-Jacken ein und war damit Vorbild für andere Designer, die diese Idee übernahmen. Elegante Abendroben, schmal geschnittene Kleider, der Einsatz von Jersey-Baumwolle, das Spiel von ständig wechselnden Hauptfarben in seinen Kollektionen und kubistische Motive auf seinen Entwürfen machten den Patou-Stil aus. Patou konnte weder zeichnen noch mit der Schneiderschere umgehen. Stattdessen instruierte er einen Stab aus Designern und verfeinerte bzw. korrigierte schließlich seine durch Mitarbeiter umgesetzten Entwürfe.

Die Verbindungen seines Schwagers Raymond Barbas, einem ehemaligen Tennis-Champion, ermöglichtem es Patou ab den 1920er Jahren elegante Sportkollektionen zu entwerfen, die 1921 bei den englischen Tennisweltmeisterschaften in Wimbledon als echte Sensation empfunden wurden. Erstmals spielte die damals weltbeste Tennisspielerin Suzanne Lenglen medienwirksam in eleganter Tenniskleidung mit modischen Accessoires. Jean Patou gilt als der Erfinder des Tennisrocks. Schließlich gab es sogar Golf- und Skimode von Patou. Seine elegante Bademode der 1920er Jahre wurde zum Kassenschlager. Ab 1924 eröffnete er Zweigstellen in Deauville, Biarritz, Cannes sowie Monte Carlo und expandierte in die USA. Patou selbst, ein lebenslanger Junggeselle, ernannte die amerikanische Presse schließlich aufgrund seiner persönlichen Garderobe zum "elegantesten Mann Europas". Bereits Mitte der 1920er Jahre konnten Frauen sich im kompletten Patou-Look einkleiden. Das Modehaus bot sogar bereits zusammengestellte Kombinationen aus einzelnen Bekleidungsstücken als Ensemble zum Verkauf an. Die Funktionalität der Patou-Mode spielte bei den Entwürfen stets eine bedeutende Rolle. Patous Haute Couture Modeschauen in Paris waren grandiose, mit Musik untermalte Spektakel, bei denen mehrere hundert Modelle vorgeführt wurden. Um die Zielgruppe der jungen, modernen Frau dieser Zeit konkurrierte Patou insbesondere mit Coco Chanel aber auch mit Jeanne Lanvin.

Neben der Mode kreierte Patou zusammen mit dem berühmten Parfümeur Henri Alméras, einem Kriegskameraden aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg, der dem Haus Patou bis 1933 erhalten blieb, unzählige Parfums, unter anderem Amour Amour (1925) und das aufgrund seiner exquisiten Inhaltsstoffe (Jasmin und Rose) äußerst hochpreisige Joy (1930). Die Gesellschaftsreporterin Elsa Maxwell erfand den verkaufsfördernden Slogan «das teuerste Parfum der Welt», der den Duft Joy weltberühmt machte. Der immense Erfolg des blumigen Damenparfüms Joy rettete das finanziell stark angeschlagene Haus nach 1929 schließlich knapp über die Weltwirtschaftskrise hinweg, welche unter anderem den kompletten Ausfall der amerikanischen Abnehmer bedeutet hatte. Nach dem Parfum Chanel Nº 5 von Coco Chanel gilt Joy als das zweitmeistverkaufte Parfum weltweit.

Nachfolge
Nach Jean Patous plötzlichen Herztod im Jahr 1936 brachten seine Schwester Madeleine und ihr Ehemann Raymond Barbas das Unternehmen wieder auf Kurs. In den späten 1930er Jahren waren in der Haute Couture Sparte von Patou um die 1500 Mitarbeiter beschäftigt und brachten an die 700 Modelle auf den Markt. Die Parfüms der Folgejahre erschuf Henri Giboulet. Von 1953 bis 1957 entwarf der spätere Dior-Designer Marc Bohan die Patou-Modekollektionen. 1958 wurde der aufstrebende Karl Lagerfeld bis 1963 als künstlerischer Direktor bei Patou angestellt, was allerdings in wenig spektakulären Entwürfen resultierte. 1964 übernahm der Designer Michel Goma die Modesparte, dessen Gehilfe 1971 Jean Paul Gaultier wurde. Von 1969 bis 1998 war der Parfümeur Jean Kerléo mit der Kreation von Patou-Parfums beauftragt. Unter seiner Regie wurden Düfte wie 1000, Eau de Patou und Eau de Patou pour Homme, Sublime oder Voyageur lanciert. Auf Goma folgte 1973 der Italiener Angelo Tarlazzi. 1977 übernahm Tarlazzis Assistent Roy Gonzalés. 1980 stieg Jean de Mouy, Enkel von Raymond Barbas, in die Unternehmensleitung auf. Von 1981 bis 1987 war Christian Lacroix für die Haute Couture Mode aus dem Hause Lacroix verantwortlich. 1987 gab das Haus die Modesparte komplett auf und konzentrierte sich fortan auf die Parfüms.

2001 verkauften die Patou-Erben das Familienunternehmen an Procter & Gamble. Während dieser Zeit war der Parfümeur Jean-Michel Duriez für Patou-Düfte verantwortlich. Zu seinen Kreationen zählen die inzwischen eingestellten Düfte Nacre (2001), Pan Ame (2001), Enjoy (2003), Sira des Indes (2006) und Coming Up Roses (2008). 2011 erfolgte der Verkauf von Patou an Designer Parfums Ltd., ein in England ansässiges Unternehmen im Besitz der indischen Mischkonzern-Gruppe Mehta. Damit einher ging die Anstellung von Thomas Fontaine als Chef-Parfümeur, der 2013 den Klassiker Joy als Joy Forever modernisierte und Klassiker wie Chaldée (1927), Eau de Patou (1976) und Patou pour Homme (1980) sowie weitere Damendüfte aus den Anfangszeiten des Unternehmens neu auflegte.

Aus dem Besitz von Jean Patous Großneffen Jean de Moüy gelangte im Mai 2015 der Nachlass Patous in zwei Auktionen zum Verkauf. In der ersten Auktion des Auktionshauses Pierre Bergé & Associés wurden 120 Lose mit Roben, Mänteln, Seidenwäsche, mit Flakons, Accessoires und Mobiliar versteigert. Für viele Teile wurden Preise erzielt, die ein Vielfaches des vorigeren Schätzpreises ergaben. Ein Wolltrikot sowie eine Skikombination, die die Schwester Madeleine getragen hatte, erzielten jeweils 105.400 Euro. Unter den besonders aktiven Käufern war die Firma Jean Patou selbst, die bereits damals beabsichtigte, künftig wieder in den Bereich Mode einzusteigen. In einer zweiten Auktion gelangten Manuskripte des "bibliophilen Ästheten und Sammlers" zum Verkauf.

Neustart durch LVMH

Im September 2017 bestellte der Patou-Aufsichtsrat unter Führung der Mehta-Familie den damaligen Dior-CEO und LVMH-Manager Sidney Toledano als Vorsitzenden. 2018 kaufte LVMH Designer Parfums das Unternehmen Jean Patou ab, strich den Vornamen des Gründers aus dem Firmennamen und ernannte den ehemaligen Nina Ricci Designer Guillaume Henry zum Chefdesigner der Modekollektionen. Henrys erste Modekollektion für Patou – die erste seit 1987 unter Lacroix – wird im September 2019 erwartet. Zur Patou-CEO wurde die LVMH-Managerin Sophie Brocart berufen. Mit der Übernahme der Patou-Markenrechte war es der LVMH-Tochter Christian Dior S.A. 2018 möglich gewesen, ein Dior-Damenparfüm namens Joy auf den Markt zu bringen.

A new set of guidelines called politeness manual released by the authority of transportation, Paris for the people who are traveling in the public transports.
According to the authority, this manual has 12 instruction that should be followed while traveling from the public transport. All 12 instruction are divided into four categories, Helpfulness, courtesy, manners and politeness.
The guidelines mentioned in the manuals are for the safety and ease to the travelers. The instructions include not playing music too loud, not staring at beautiful women and a duty carrying old ladies' bags up the stairs for them.
The authority said, by following these instructions, would defiantly provide a better environment for other travelers.


March was a month packed full of events across the region, with inspirational speakers and information, and raising of awareness of key health issues and actions.
The Eastern Elder Abuse Network (EEAN), led by Eastern Community Legal Centre, hosted an event with keynote speaker Gerard Mansour, Commissioner for Senior Victorians and Ambassador for Elder Abuse Prevention, presenting on Elder Abuse Prevention. The IEPCP is a keen supporter of EEAN, and we met up with Kate Gibson and Jill Exon (ECLC) following the event to discuss IEPCP support for their new primary prevention of elder abuse project. Funded by the Department of Health & Human Services through the Free From Violence Fund, the OPERA Project is a partnership between ECLC, Swinburne University and Women's Health East, with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of how older people in Melbourne's east experience ageism and age discrimination.
Catriona Ross, Senior Advisor Population Health and Community Wellbeing, Department of Health and Human Services. Catriona works to embed the priorities of the Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan in local initiatives and place-based approaches. In particular, she works with local government and funded agencies on the uptake and delivery of prevention initiatives. Current priorities include alcohol-harm reduction, social connection for older people in public housing, and helping her Division to build knowledge and respect for Aboriginal histories and cultures.
Sulo Colombage, Gender Equality Officer, Carrington Health. Sulo's role involves working in the prevention of violence against women in partnership with TFER. At the moment her focus is engaging staff and management around a commitment to gender equality and formulating a gender equity action plan for the organization. Her work also involves working with the successful Baby Makes 3 program – an initiative for first-time parents focused on primary prevention of family violence.
Bonnie Coogan, Health Promotion Practitioner, Access Health and Community, the local community health service for Boroondara and Manningham. Bonnie is currently involved in a range of projects that focus on improving social inclusion and gender equity – working with sporting clubs, early childhood centres, schools and LGBTI+ young people in the wider community. She is also an active member of the TFER Evaluation Working Group.
Danielle Utting, Director of Care3, a company established to provide case management and aged care placement services for older people and their families. Danielle works with older people to help support them to remain independent in their own homes, or to find facility-based care. Danielle is keen to give a voice to older people and help improve the value they have in our society.
Alex Mills coordinates The Opening Doors Community Leadership Program at Link Health and Community, an evidence-based social inclusion program. He is also a White Ribbon ambassador and a passionate advocate for gender equity.
Lara Gerrand, Health Promotion Officer, Women's Health East, focuses on sexual and reproductive health in her work. Lara has a Bachelor of Public Health & Health Promotion & a Diploma in Youth Work. Her previous work includes extensive experience working with youth in delivering reproductive health services and education.
In addition, the IEPCP congratulates Women's Health East on a wonderful celebration of women held at Sage's hotel. I was blown away by the presentation from the young women working on the Liwurruk (Girls) in the Hood Project (Hoodies Project), led by Boorndawan Willam Aboriginal Healing Service, with support from WHE, HICSA and Eastern Health. The purpose of the project was to promote gender equality and the prevention of violence against Aboriginal women. Over eight weeks, these young Aboriginal women participated in capacity building sessions to develop their understanding of healthy, respectful, equal and respectful relationships with themselves and with others, in the context of cultural complexities. The project was designed to provide them with an outlet to challenge racism, gender stereotypes and violence that limits young Aboriginal women's potential, and to celebrate young Aboriginal women's empowering ideas, words pictures and stories. Who are you? What do you stand for? What inspires you? What does equality mean to you? What are the messages you want your community, and beyond, to hear about preventing violence? The answers to these questions were visually represented on the hoodies the young women designed and are pictured here with WHE Manager of Health Promotion, Autumn Pierce.
Another celebration, opened by the Hon. Richard Wynne MP, Minister for Planning, was the recognition of Access Health and Community's 150 years of service as a community health service – the oldest health service in Victoria. It was an entertaining walk through history and service amalgamations, with staff sharing their journeys and CEO Harry Majewski presenting on the complex service and challenges today. It was another terrific networking opportunity and was followed by an opportunity to meet with Jane Broadhead, General Manager Community, and David Cooke, Senior Manager at Access H&C to share information and hear about their aspirations for their team in supporting vulnerable community members in place across Boroondara and Manningham.
I also enjoyed catching up with Gregg Nicholls, interim CEO at Link Health and Community, and former Board member of the IEPCP, to share notes and opportunities to collaborate across the Monash area.
The IEPCP also wishes to acknowledge the amazing efforts of Manningham's Social Planner Vicki Martinez who has led health planning and the current Healthy City Strategy & Action Plan and provided support to the Council's Advisory Group, of which IEPCP is a member. It was with sadness that we heard about Vicki's resignation from the role she brought so much experience, quality and sophistication to, however, we wish her every success in her new endeavours as a consultant.
Last month I also had the opportunity to attend a regional forum hosted by Eastern Volunteers and Victoria Alive exploring the barriers to, and opportunities for, volunteering for people with disabilities in the Eastern and South East Metro areas. Over 50 organisations attended and there was a strong commitment to supporting increasing volunteer opportunities. We heard from a passionate panel of volunteers about their experiences, and participants contributed a range of ideas during a workshop. An action plan will now be developed. This will be overseen by a governance group of Volunteer Resource Centres and Support Services facilitated by the Inner East PCP, and work will be led by Eastern Volunteers in the east, and South East Volunteers and Bridges Connecting Communities in the south-east.
And in some exciting IEPCP news, we recently welcomed Steph Ashby, Prevention Coordinator to the IEPCP team. She hit the ground running in her first week at our IEPCP planning day, held off-site at Currawong Bush Park in Doncaster, where the team was involved in a dynamic session to plan and schedule activities for the coming months.

Air Products teams with developer of hydrogen fuel stations
October 9, 2014	0 By Angie Bergenson
Air Products to help develop hydrogen stations in California
Air Products, a leading producer of chemical gasses, has announced that it has partnered with FirstElement Fuel, a developer of retail hydrogen fuel solutions. Per an agreement made between the two companies, Air Products will assist in the development of new hydrogen fuel stations that FirstElement Fuel is building in California beginning in 2015. FirstElement plans to build 19 hydrogen stations in the state in order to bolster its infrastructure and prepare for the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles.
California continues to make strides in building a working hydrogen fuel infrastructure
The new SmartFuel hydrogen stations will be built with the aid of several grants provided by the California Energy Commission. These fuel stations will be important in improving the state's hydrogen infrastructure. Currently, California is considered a very attractive market for the auto industry, especially when it comes to clean transportation. Because many automakers are planning to release fuel cell vehicles in the coming years, California has been working to establish an infrastructure that would be able to support these vehicles.
Air Products to supply hydrogen that will be used at new fueling stations
Air Products will serve as the supplier of hydrogen for the initial 19 fuel stations being built by FirstElement. The company has significant experience in matters concerning hydrogen infrastructure and has played a major role in helping develop such an infrastructure in many parts of the world. Air Products already supplies hydrogen to 9 of FirstElement's fuel stations that are serving both public and private vehicles.
Fuel infrastructure is needed in order for fuel cell vehicles to find any significant success
The future of fuel cell vehicles will likely be determined by the effectiveness of a fuel infrastructure. If a working infrastructure cannot be built by the time fuel cell vehicles are commercialized, they may struggle to find traction with consumers. The infrastructure problem is currently one of the most significant challenges that is facing the clean transportation space. Many automakers have been investing heavily in infrastructure projects in order to ensure the future success of their fuel cell vehicles.

Q: Factor out common terms from a list of terms I was looking for an automated way to factor out common terms from a list.
Example (assuming n<1):
 list={(1 + r^2)^(-1/2 + n/2) (1 + w^2)^(-1/2 - n/2) (1 + r^(1 - n) w^(1 + n)) x12^-n,
       r^(1 - n) (1 + r^2)^(-1/2 + n/2) w^(1 + n) (1 + w^2)^(-1/2 - n/2) x12^-n,
       (1 + r^2)^(-1/2 + n/2) (1 + w^2)^(-1/2 - n/2) x12^-n}

Expected output:
(1 + r^2)^(-1/2 + n/2) (1 + w^2)^(-1/2 - n/2)   x12^-n  {  (1 +
r^(1 - n) w^(1 + n)) , r^(1 - n)  w^(1 + n), 1  }
or
{ CommonFactor->(1 + r^2)^(-1/2 + n/2) (1 + w^2)^(-1/2 - n/2)   x12^-n ,
  { (1 + r^(1 - n) w^(1 + n)) , r^(1 - n)  w^(1 + n), 1  }}

There are some ways (Extract common factor from vector or matrix) to factor out common terms using PolynomialGCD, which works in most of the cases, however, in this case, it does not do it properly (probably due to the unknown n?)
Using their approach I get
 {"CommonFactor" ->   r^(-2 n) (1 + r^2)^(-(1/2) + n/2) (1 + w^2)^(-1 - n) x12^(-2n),
  {r^(2 n) (1 + r^2)^(1/2 + 1/2 (-1 + n) - n/2) (1 + w^2)^(1/2 + n/2) (1 + r^(1 - n) w^(1 + n)) x12^n,
   r^(1 + n) w^(1 + n) (1 + w^2)^(1/2 + n/2) x12^n,
   r^(2 n) (1 + w^2)^(1/2 + n/2) x12^n}}

which is not the wanted behavior. Assuming[0<n<1 also does not help.
Is there any better way?

A: {#, list/#} &@Fold[Intersection, list]

$$\left\{\left(r^2+1\right)^{\frac{n}{2}-\frac{1}{2}} \left(w^2+1\right)^{-\frac{n}{2}-\frac{1}{2}} \text{x12}^{-n},\left\{r^{1-n} w^{n+1}+1,r^{1-n} w^{n+1},1\right\}\right\}$$

EDIT a possible failsafe strategy where the Intersection will likely not work
Let's say the original list is now called alist:
alist = {(1 + r^2)^(-1/2 + n/2) (1 + w^2)^(-1/2 - n/2) (1 +
     r^(1 - n) w^(1 + n)) x12^-n,
  r^(1 - n) (1 + r^2)^(-1/2 + n/2) w^(1 + n) (1 + w^2)^(-1/2 -
      n/2) x12^-n, (1 + r^2)^(-1/2 + n/2) (1 + w^2)^(-1/2 -
      n/2) x12^-n}

and another list is called blist:
blist = {a^-n (1 + a^n b), b, a^-n}

Then
{Head /@ alist, Head /@ blist}

{{Times, Times, Times}, {Times, Symbol, Power}}

A possible strategy could be to check the Head in advance and choose 1 or another method instead of the Intersection. As an example:
If[! SameQ @@ (Head /@ #), 1, Fold[Intersection, #]] & /@ {alist,
  blist}

{(1 + r^2)^(-(1/2) + n/2) (1 + w^2)^(-(1/2) - n/2) x12^-n, 1}
