Broken heating in Vange home meant man missed cancer test
6:00am Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News By Helen Barnett
A MAN was unable to undergo a hospital test for cancer because he had no heating for a month and his home was too cold to go back to.
Jason Curtis, 43, and his partner, Anna Ricci, 46, of Oldwyk, Vange, suffered because the heating was not fixed.
Mr Curtis had to cancel a hospital procedure to check for bowel and colon cancer because his house was too cold for him to recuperate afterwards.
He now has to wait another month to check for the disease.
He said: "It's been hell here, it really has. Missing this hospital appointment has been on my mind, it's such a worry.
"We were sitting here in the evening and could see our breath.
"Then we were so cold we'd go to bed, and we had four or five blankets on the bed.
"It's been a nightmare. What if someone had kids, or it was an elderly person?"
He said engineers, who were first called on January 6, had let the couple down five times, by cancelling appointments and not coming to the property prepared to fix the problem.
Circle Housing, which manages the property, has given the couple two fan heaters until the problem is fixed, and offered to pay £5 a day for runing costs.
But Mr Curtis said they would have to fork out £25 a day to run the heaters, so had no choice but to stay cold.
Tracy White, managing director at Circle Housing South Anglia, said: "The contractor attended last Friday to address the issue and ensure the heating is working.
"We agree it is clearly unacceptable to be left without heating and have apologised directly for the inconvenience and discomfort caused."

I would have got the test, gone home and wrapped myself up as warm as possible and recuperate in a toasty warm bed!
Would he have missed his apppointment if the repair was down to him not a housing association and he had no one to "blame"? I don't think so!

Working for planned change in English spelling for the benefit of learners and users everywhere

Funds needed for remedial research.
Gwenllian ThorstadAfter reporting to the Society the results of preliminary research I carried out at two London schools, I have proposed a full study using simplified spelling for a crash remedial reading course for 11-year-olds. It will need funding.
About 3 per cent of the child population in England have a severe specific learning difficulty and usually receive remedial teaching from a qualified teacher. However another 10 percent are retarded in reading by the age of 11 years.
The late Ron Threadgall, head of remedial departments in two comprehensive schools, was very successful in teaching such 11-year-old children to read in i.t.a. until they attained a reading age of 11 years in traditional orthography (TO) which took about two to three months of three short lessons each week. He then followed it by teaching them all the most necessary TO spelling rules for the remainder of the year.
As the degree of reading retardadation in many schools is now much greater and urgent action is needed, it is proposed to use a form of simplified spelling (SS) instead of i.t.a. To choose the most suitable SS I undertook some research in two primary schools with 103 9-11 year-olds to discover which of three varieties of SS - NS96, Equal Plus or Dash Plus - they were able to read most accurately and which they said they preferred.
The results were illuminating, not only about which script is likely to be the easiest for children to read, but also because it revealed that they had their own modifications they would like to make to TO. These concerned changes to consonants, to be found in many forms of SS.
Now the SS script is selected, it is necessary to fund the research. A qualified teacher would be needed for a year and a psychologist for longer to evaluate and write it up. This would cost more than £30,000. Can anyone suggest where such funds could be obtained?
AGM.The Annual General Meeting of the Simplified Spelling Society will be held at 10.45pm, Saturday, 19 April 1997.
Allan Campbell, New Zealand, will talk on 'Promote - or Perish'. Then will follow a discussion on promoting spelling reform in an age of electronic communication, including the Internet.
A committee meeting, open to members, will follow.

What one member has been doing.
BTRSPL, a better spelling program
Alan Mole, USA.I am working with Chris Upward to develop a program to transform documents in TO and CS and vice versa.
The project began rather suddenly. I had read Ogden's Basic English, Bodmer's Loom of Language, and other books that talked of the stupidity of English spelling and the need to fix it. Also, I had written a translator program for English to 13 languages.
As I thought about spelling it suddenly hit me that I could easily write a translator program to fix that problem. But how could I find anyone interested? Via the Internet of course - a 5 minute search on YAHOO found the SSS home page. An inquiry, a positive response, and then a lot of e-mail to Christopher Upward, 5000 miles away. Now e-mail to Allan Campbell in New Zealand, 10,000 miles away, for this article. The Internet certainly is a wonderful thing. If nothing else, it speeds up progress many fold.
The program is a success. We've already developed a version with a dictionary of the 1024 most common words, and it may be available by the time you read this. We also plan to do one with a huge 70,000-word dictionary, but that may take longer. The small program works beautifully, and translates ASCII at a brisk 240 pages a minute. From TO to CS it leaves only about three words per hundred in TO when they should be changed.
Rationale: One reason spelling reform never takes off is that there are no novels available in CS. Thus no one can settle in with a good book and get lost in the story, only to look up a hundred pages later and realize they've been practising reading Cut for the past three hours and it's come to seem so natural that it's not like work at all.
But now that's changed. There are literally thousands of classic works available free on the Internet. Practically any beloved book whose copyright is expired can be found, down-loaded in 3 minutes, and converted in 2 more. Thus you can have The War of the Worlds in CS 15 minutes after you start looking, and spend the evening reading how 'Th deth ray struk th battlship making it glo red ..... By the time the Martians have finished their evil deeds you'll be comfortable with Cut, reading more easily than in TO. (It just has to be better to read 'Thru th blak nyt' than 'Through the black night'.)
Then you can give the story to a frend or a relative, and they can be converted. Perhaps there's a child of 8 you know, struggling with reading in the arcane contradictions of the TO system' and bored with the childish material their teachers give them. And maybe they'd like to read a really good story in a system that makes sense....
Othr uses (as transformed by BTRSPL): Journalists can rite articles about Cut in TO, and translate them almost instantly to CS, to run side by side to ad interest. U ho prefer to rite in CS for its logic and economy of effort can now do so - and translate in a moment to TO (so yr boss won't think u've gon bonkers). A few words won't translate, so run a spelchek on th results, and scan for errors.
BTRSPL and its descendants wil make it posbl to read/red and rite interchangeably in evry systm of spelng at th whim of th user.
Provided somone is intrestd enuf to prepare th dictionary - and I'll help - u'll be able to rite in CS and translate to ITA for use in a redng program, or TO for normal publication, or Shaw's alphabet or watevr new systm may evolve for th reduction of letrs per word. Peple wil be able to choose ther spelng systm to suit themselvs, and in th fre market of ideas, reformed spelng wil zap TO fastr than a Martian Deth Ray!*
Anyway, that's the idea and that's where we're working.
[* BTRSPL isn't perfect. This run was without the 'ending-changer' that guesses the CS form of words not in the dictionary. With that feature turned on, output is closer to CS but there are also more mistaken forms that are neither CS nor TO.]
Let's start from where we are.It is normal for would-be revolutionaries to endure long the condition they seek to change.
For us spelling reformers it's traditional orthography (TO). To communicate with others - and ourselves - we need to use it.
But rather than treat this as an unavoidable penance to be tolerated on the way to the promised land, let's make it the start of the journey.
Was it not arch-revolutionary Mao Zedong who noted a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step? Our road is long. But we must take that first step.
Some say we've done so already, with new schemes and dialog with VIPs. Is this really stepping out? Or is it blind leaping and talking instead of walking?
Who notices these actions and concludes a revolution is on the way? If anyone notices at all, do they see us going anywhere?
Our first step needn't be a Great Leap Forward that is counterproductive. World English has an array of improved and approved spelling options available that are already familiar to readers.
Most are 'American'. So? Are we serious about change or not?
In our TO writing let's lead, rather than mark time.
The Society and its members need to step out and be seen to be stepping out. If we don't, who will? And who will take us seriously?
- Allan Campbell
Literacy could benefit from numeracy's example.
Editor's note:Mrs Gillian Shephard, British Secretary of State for Education and Employment was recently interviewed on literacy and numeracy by the BBC Radio 4's Today program. She was due to speak on the subject to a teachers' meeting. This letter is a response to the BBC.]
Good morning! I have just been listening to your discussion with the Secretary of State about literacy and numeracy. I am moved to contribute as a member of the committee of the Simplified Spelling Society, because in every discussion of the problems of literacy in the United Kingdom one factor is consistently and steadfastly ignored: our outmoded and indefensible orthography.
The plain fact is that the way we spell english militates violently against the ability of anyone to read and write it. No one would dream of teaching a child to sculpt wood with a damaged or blunt chisel! No one would expect a child to team to play the violin if the strings were always unpredictably out of tune! How could anyone learn to cook if the measures used were never the same?
Indeed, if we compare the problems of literacy with those of numeracy, we have, I'm convinced, benefited enormously from the transition 25 years ago to decimal currency. There maybe many of us now who can remember the old '12 pennies in a shilling, 20 shillings in a pound, 21 shillings in a guinea', but no one would seriously propose reintroducing that system today.
I can remember when I was at junior school in south London the problems my contemporaries had with the fact that 14 pence were 'one and twopence' and not 'one and fourpence'. My two daughters, 25 and 15, laugh at the very idea of it. And can any of us conceive of how the ancient Romans did arithmetic with their system of notation? The introduction of arabic notation must have been the biggest single advance in numeracy for civilized nations.
But the english-speaking nations continue to labor on, using a system of orthography which is as difficult to learn as roman arithmetic. If the Secretary of State (in particular) is serious about furthering literacy in this country, then let her look seriously at the very tools we are giving our children and others to do it with.
Nicholas Kerr, England. [See Newsletters.]
PS: I have run this through my spellchecker, just to make sure that I haven't missed anything! Any variations from normal english or american practice are deliberate.
'Stirring it up'.The latest Newsletter prompted a thought or two.
UK membership: Can we have a breakdown? I've wondered if there are other members in Fife. Together we could maybe 'stir it up'!
Cornell Kimball suggests letters to editors. A good and cheap way of spreading the gospel so long as we use it wisely.
(1) It shouldn't read like a puff (an advert for SSS). Editors usually like to be paid for ads.
(2) It should be relevant; eg, a reply to a political statement about 'standards'.
(3) Keep it short. Space is always critical, and the readership probably covers most social classes.
George Anderson, Scotland. [See Journals, Newsletters.]
Great opportunity.We have a great opportunity, here at the dawn of the new millennium when people are more open to utopian ideas, to get word out on the need and the various programs for English spelling reform. The Internet is a wonderful tool for this purpose.
I have a book out, 4000, the FIFTH MILENIUM, Six Revolooshunairy Iedeeas.
One idea is spelling reform. I used the research and spelling program of the American Literacy Council. I will have a Website soon about the book. I will do a link to the SSS home-page.

Internet corner.
Searching - and finding - is easier.
Steve Bett, USA.
This column continues the project started by the late Bob Brown (Newsletter, April 1996). Concepts that were defined in Bob's article, such as search engine, are not redefined here. Those who are unfamiliar with the Internet may want to reread the first article.
About 1993 the World Wide Web had thousands of files that could be accessed but no easy way to find what you were looking for. Having a Web page was something like having a telephone number before there were any telephone directories.
In 1995, the first search engines for the Web began to appear. With a search engine it became possible to search and find something that might be of interest. The search routine wasn't perfect - 70 percent of what turned up in response to a key word was irrelevant - but going thru a hundred files to find the real hits was certainly better than going thru millions.
The search engines have located the Simplified Spelling Society's Web page. If you can't remember the web address, just access a search engine (eg, http://www.yahoo.com) and enter the key word, simplified spelling.
URLs (Web site 'addresses') for spelling: Last year, none of the search engines were capturing very interesting pages on orthography and spelling reform. Today it is much better but there are still sites that don't always show up. If you can get to the first reference, it provides clickable links to the others on the list. There are about three pages of listings that contain the word spelling. Many are duplicates and about 70 percent are not relevant to reform.
o Spelling Link page:
An index page for links to eight articles related to orthography, constructed scripts, ancient scripts, hieroglyphics, and comments on alphabet design by George Bernard Shaw, Mark Twain, and Bishop John Wilkins. Includes graphic files of full letter sets for non-Roman scripts: Pitman, Wilkins, Read, S. Semitic, Phoenician, etc.o Riggs Institute:
o Valerie Yule's Spelling as a social invention: [See Links page.]
[Editor's note: Valerie is developing 'Internationl English Spelling' as a handy spelling gide for fastr Internet comunication, with dropping surplus letrs, keeping to consistent consonants and redusing 318 vowel spelling patrns to 40. Val wil try to get a note about it on th SSS home paje on th Net.]o Mark Twain on spelling:
o American Literacy Council: [See Links page.]
Does illegibility go with shorter spelling?
Kate Gladstone, USA.Simpler-spelling proposals eliminate redundancies and shorten words. Thus, most plans envision changes like: 'through' > 'thru', 'though' > 'tho', 'cough' > 'cof, 'tough' > 'tuf', etc.
But shortening words makes illegibility more problematic. Why? With one illegible letter (represented by #) 'thermon#clear' remains unmistakable. Other letters contextualize the unreadable letter. But, what's 'h#t': 'hat', 'hit', 'hot' or 'hut'? Context won't do. Someone writing illegibly once likely does so often.
Also, one illegible letter can destroy context: 'It is no# time to trigger explosives.' 'Now'? 'Not'?
Lower redundancy and lose more to handwriting 'noise'.
Also, handwriting varies more than spelling, so reform should begin with handwriting, where current standards are least enforced. Fixing an easy problem (handwriting) can impel later action on the hard problem (spelling).
I've worked a decade to return handwriting to the simpler standards of its earliest textbooks (Renaissance Italy). I've been profiled in USA periodicals coast-to-coast (with Canadian TV coverage filmed as I type) for 'new' old ideas. I've also been called 'un-American' for noticing the un-reason in first teaching a difficult draftsman's alphabet - only to drop this for different, fancier, less legible letter-forms simply because the child is to begin using joins.
People interested in simpler handwriting (for its own sake, or in light of simpler spelling) may like to contact me to learn about many available resources on the subject.

Rosewood and spruce combine for focused bright top end and deep a reaching low end.
The Taylor 2012 DN7-L Rosewood/Spruce Dreadnought Left-Handed Acoustic Guitar is an update on the most traditional of all acoustics. Taylor's DN Series pay tribute to that legacy — while also refining the dreadnought's potent sound, robust bass and articulate mids blend power and balance. The DN7-L showcases spruce's bright, focused tone, allowing you to drive the guitar with a strong rhythmic attack.
Dreadnought (DN)
Taylor evolved the dreadnought in a way that honors its enduring sonic heritage yet also refines the look and sound into a more modern package. The Taylor Dreadnought still boasts that powerful dreadnought tone that old school pickers expect, with deep lows and crisp highs, but with a voice that is more evenly balanced across the entire tonal spectrum. Pickers and strummers with an aggressive attack will love the blend of power and articulation of the DN7-L dreadnought, which allows for clear lead lines and crisp, driving rhythms.
Indian Rosewood
A strong midrange that's deeper in the low end and brighter on the top end than mahogany. Versatile and consistent, you can fingerpick it, strum it and flatpick it. Players can rely on it to deliver.

Dolly, the fourth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to make landfall in Mexico.
Benedict College students struggle to understand why their classmate 19-year-old Ayaanah Gibson didn't call for medical help after giving birth in her dorm room.
Every student at Benedict is required to pay a health fee, giving them access to the college's health center.
According to the college's website, the health center offers gynecological care and a referral service to specialists, but they're not the only resource. The Coalition for Health Families has an 80-page access guide.
"That lists out all of the different organization and groups and locations that can provide that the citizens of South Carolina can use to access family planning services," said Emma Davidson.
According to Planned Parenthood, more than 259,000 women in South Carolina need family planning services. Davidson believes the state could do better.
"There's always a great need for family planning services in this state," said Davidson. "There's a huge need for information, training, and really knowledge of where you can access these services, where can you go to find a doctor that's willing to talk to you openly and honestly."
Planned Parenthood's health centers in Columbia and Charleston offer a wide range of services, but getting information can be as simple as a text from your cell phone.
"If you want to text S-E-X-T to 74574 it will actually text you back the closest clinic and other information about where you can access services and prescriptions and clinicians," said Davidson.
Other services are a click away on your computer. That includes websites like SouthCarolinaSafeSex.org
"You can go on there and find there's a clinic location and you can type in your zip code. You can also use Bedsider.org, which is another wonderful resource that again has a clinic locator," said Emma.

What does it mean to be Anglican? I have not always been Anglican. I was Roman Catholic when my family visited Truro Church in 1974, but my wife and I sensed the Lord calling us to make our church home there. I find that my catholic heritage has been deepened as I have learned to understand the Scriptures through evangelical Anglican eyes and to experience the power of the Holy Spirit in making my faith real. One could give many answers to what is the essence of being Anglican, but to me the most important is that Anglicanism is situated solidly in the Great Story of the redemptive love of the Creator God Who we know as a Trinity of Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To be Anglican is to be in continuity with the ancient Church's way of understanding the story of Jesus of Nazareth as told by the Apostles. Jesus, the crucified and risen Lord, the Messiah of Israel, fulfills the promises God made to Abraham to bless the whole world through his descendants, as we learn from both the old and new testaments of the Bible.

"To be Anglican is to be in continuity with the ancient Church's way of understanding the story of Jesus of Nazareth as told by the Apostles." What a wondrous way of explaining what how centuries of Anglicans have understood "apostolic." Also wondrous is the understanding that "catholic" has to do, neither with systematic theology or ritual piety, but with the Church's purpose of universal mission. That Anglicans have cared about maintaining the link between the most ancient foundations of faith in Jesus the Christ and ever-challenging contemporary mission was the reason I became an Episcopalian.March 5, 9:55 am | [comment link]

Anglicanism is REAL Catholic orthodoxy. The Anglican "part" comes from an English/Anglo heritage. Alas, there are member churches of the Anglican Communion (TECUSA comes to mind) where it would be difficult to sense that what this author states is still true for a majority. It is still true for a smaller and smaller number of individuals, parishes, and diocese in TECUSA. Sadly. I see TECUSA being a totally insignificant "church" within a couple of decades. Anglicanism will survive and even thrive but I doubt TECUSA will be part of it.March 5, 2:10 pm | [comment link]

breaks my heart to read some of the comments, but perhaps my sentiments are a bit skewed.
My choice was made partly because of the fight, partly because of the nature of the fight between leavers and stayers. There are orthodox Anglican churches near me, one in either camp, but there are parochial reasons that neither one of these is a good fit for my family (and I have discovered that the character of the parish is where the rubber really hits the road, other than simply making a statement for orthodox teaching!)
So I rejoice in what Ms Julienne had to say. My heart is full of things to say, but rather than hijack this thread, I would encourage her, and others, though to think more specifically what are the *Anglican* distinctive of a good church. There are many.

Thank you, Eric. We could fill a board with those who have lived to regret wandering off.
No doubt there will be a backlash here, but I've known far too many who wish they had not gone off in a huff and now live out a spiritually poor fit somewhere else. There is so much that remains sound and uniquely so in Anglicanism. Even in the worst dioceses, genuine expressions can be found and enjoyed by the mature who can sort things out.
I also agree that the culture established in too many parishes left behind by the leavers and created in the parishes where they go to build "purity" simply are missing something essential in both manner and feel.
I hope that pride does not stop a return for those who live a deep regret despite their honest theological struggles.March 5, 10:45 pm | [comment link]

Albany+ I may have left a false impression. I do not at all regret making the choice I made - it was the right choice. I regret that it WAS the right choice. I regret, I am angered by the choices of those who made it the right choice. There is no "huff," just sadness and loss, looking for new beginnings.
In my image, all rejoiced in the restoration of Temple worship –but history has its price, and must be paid.
Yet even as I extol the virtue of the Anglican understanding and practice, in the end (or at least at this stage) we are the ones at, or over, the brink, while in poorer places, with less nourishment, the pure Gospel still flourishes. I am in such a place.
My observation about parochial issues comes from seeing that it is NOT just the teaching from the pulpit that matters. Jesus never said that the world would be at all impressed by how perfect our doctrine was, but by how we love one another. I have a mighty taste for sound teaching, but life is in the love lived out. It doesn't matter what the teaching is, if the place is cold and rejecting, then without a serious sense of God's calling to this mission field, one is likely to move on down the road. Our lighting in this place has more to do with a welcoming attitude in a place where the Gospel is rightly preached and the sacraments duly administered than it does with more minute issues.
I hear your call to return. I may even heed it; or I may heed it from afar, as Wesley did, and pray for it's health and restoration until my deathbed. But may God never let me, like Esau, sell that pearl, the true birthright, for an empty setting.

There are many who have stayed, but have left in spirit. My family still worships in an Episcopal parish because we have so many good brothers and sisters who remain there. Many of us value the fellowship enough to endure this season of corruption in the national church. Or, at least we have convinced ourselves—we hold onto the hope—that it's a "season." In our hearts I think we know the church will not repent and reform. Certainly not in our lifetime. (I'm sorry if words like "corruption" and "repent" are upsetting, but that's my opinion.) So, we participate nominally in parish life, choosing to abstain from activities that support the national church's agenda—either overtly or by implication. I am sad to find myself holding back from full and joyful immersion in the life of the parish. But, life goes on. I try to find other ways to express and share devotion to Jesus Christ. In some ways this is better because it drives us out into the wider world where I think Jesus would have us live out our faith anyway. It would be best, though, if I could wholeheartedly recommend my Episcopal parish to seekers, but I cannot do this with a clear conscience.March 6, 9:12 am | [comment link]

Eric and Albany+,
Thanks to both of you for your poignant, touching posts. I have no regrets about leaving TEC (and Albany) for the ACNA, but like Eric, I certainly regret that it was sadly necessary.
I'm a firm believer in the aptness of Jaroslav Pelikan's famous summary assessment of the 16th century Reformation as "a tragic necessity. Protestants tend to underestimate how tragic it was to rend the unity of the Church that way; while Catholics tend to uderestimate how utterly necessary it was, since all other reform attempts had failed.
As for myself, I like to say that I'm an Anglican because it's the best and most natural place to practice what I call "3-D Christianity," i.e., a kind that's evangelical, catholic, and charismatic all at once. Or to put it another way, I have three great church reformers that I admire most: Luther, Wesley, and Newman, but it's the fact that I greatly admire ALL THREE that keeps me Anglican, instead of turning Lutheran, Methodist, or Roman Catholic.
But again, in a personal vein, I didn't leave my Presbyterian roots, or the Pentecostalism of my college years, to become an Anglican because of the English Reformers like Cranmer, Ridley, and Latimer, although I admire their courage and appreciate their sacrifices for the sake of the gospel. In my case, it was primarily because I came to love the early Fathers such as Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Leo the Great. It wasn't just the draw of the marvelous Anglican liturgy, it was above all my love for the Fathers that drove me to Anglicanism (and to the proudly Anglo-Catholic Diocese of Albany).
Anyway, thanks to you both (and others) for sharing so personally here.

Thank you, Sarah. Even though we have landed, at least for the moment, on different sides of the fence, I cannot tell you how much I have valued your witness! I thought I would be right there among-um as this thing played itself out, but God chooses our roles in the struggle, not we ourselves.
One image that has been important to me is to change the idiom from "sheep" to something more too our liking in Texas, "cattle". It is a good thing to "ride the fences" making sure that the bobwar is not cut or broken, that bad water is identified, that "loco-weed" is discovered and destroyed before it can poison the herd, to say nothing of rustlers, etc.
I have a taste for fence riding. But it is not life. For those who do not have such a taste, the quality of the life "back at the ranch" is paramount. My wife is one of those, from whom I have learned much. Don't tell her about how fine the fences are, or how pure the water is, if newcomers are not welcome, if the society is focused around clichés, or money issues, or protecting one's private pew, or even giving thanks that we are "not like those other ranches, with broken fences"
We had not gone trying to find a church since our early years, and were appalled at much of what we encountered. In both orthodox and apostate churches.
But back to the original post, what are the Anglican distinctives (among churches that try to be true to the Gospel), and having identified them, why have they failed to keep us on course?

PAULDING – Mary Francis Smith, age 96, died Friday, May 31 at The Gardens of Paulding.
She was born May 28, 1917 in Cecil, the daughter of Conrad and Emma Fay (Biggs) Winterhaulter. In 1934, she married John P. Smith, who preceded her in death on July 8, 2001. She was previously employed as an LPN for Paulding County Hospital and was a member of Cecil First Presbyterian Church.
Mary was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Her family meant everything in the world to her. She went without many things in life so that her family would not have to endure all the hardships she experienced throughout her life. Mary's personality was one of being strong, even tough when necessary, but most of all, giving of herself and whatever she had in life to her family.

Business leaders mull case for Brighton pound
4:56pm Wednesday 14th November 2012 in News By John Keenan, business editor
Council and business leaders are examining a scheme to introduce a local currency for Brighton. Plans for the Brighton Pound will be unveiled at an event at the Hilton Brighton Metropole Hotel in Kings Road tomorrow. Preliminary discussions have already begun with East Sussex Credit Union, experts on local currencies and the founders of a similar scheme in Bristol.
Tony Greenham of the New Economics Foundation will hold a workshop on how the Brighton Pound could work.
Tony Mernagh, the executive director at Brighton and Hove Economic Partnership, will give a presentation on the local context.
Brighton Pavilion MP Caroline Lucas said: "A local pound could help build a stronger bond between shops and customers.
"This would help our economy through a local multiplier effect – retaining more of the wealth generated in the city for longer.
"If enough traders and companies signed up, a new currency could energise local commerce.
"There could be environmental benefits too. More demand for local produce would, in the long term, reduce demand for goods bought in from further afield."
Mr Greenham said: "The recent launch of the Bristol pound, which includes a low-cost mobile phone payment system for Bristol traders, has raised the profile of local currencies as a means of boosting local demand and levelling the playing field for local small businesses

I spend my money where I spend it, I'm not going to be restricted to spending it solely in shops that support it, stuff that for a game of soldiers!
Typical of the Green mp to support nonsense like this, try REDUCING parking charges that would help the local economy and bring in business!

It would be much more beneficial to local business if it were more attractive to get to the shopping areas. Maybe lowering parking fees, reducing bus charges and making it easier to get into town would be more beneficial than some harebrained idea like this !
Great idea. Keeping money in the City has got to be a help. I hope the businesses that sign up try and add extra value to the currency in the form of discounts. Otherwise it could struggle to take off.

After all Brighton has a history of copying other places to attempt to benefit itself. (that wheel thing, the i360, the whole ridiculous "City" status to name a few)
The Lewes pound worked (note 'past tense) because people in Lewes WILL NOT tolerate "change" and want to keep Lewes very 'close' (this in itself is a worry)
But a TOURIST TOWN that has a big emphasis on "Travel-by-rail-beca
-money" day trippers, how the hell can it work??
Do Mad Dog Lucas and her cronies really believe that people, when they arrive by train, will swop their hard earned (take a note at that Lucas, "HARD EARNED"....no, you wouldn't have a clue what that means would you?) REAL money for some phoney money that can only be spent in Veggie Shoes or the Alternative Supermarket (after all in a so-called commercial city I can't see many of the big traders really giving a toss about the B Right On Pound)
Then when they head home there's nowhere to change it back into real money?
This scenario might be fine when you're a publicly funded official (or a waste of tax payers money as you are Ms Lucas) and you don't care about what you spend OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY on but in the real world, people might just take a step back and say "No thanks"
So that's probably another half a million you and your useless team of muppets has wasted on this ridiculous excersise.

The question is have other local currency systems worked and if so, can the succesful schemes be replicated in B&H? If so, then that is clearly a good thing and we should give it a try. We do need to learn the lessons of other areas. Is the Lewes Pound still going? Has it been successful?
Some will use a local currency, some will need to see it working first, others will not trust it.
If the council prints 'Council Tax Pounds' and emits them say as expenses for Green Councillors, or council workers can accept them voluntarily as part or their wages, at par with sterling, then any local business that pays Brighton council tax, can safely accept them as payment. If the Council were to offer a discount to tax paid in its own CTax pounds, every local person and business would want them. This would ensure increased velocity, for each unit of currency circulating, and that council tax would be paid up faster.
Brighton council's accounts internally would be increased by the amount of new Btn CTax £'s emitted, without need for sterling taken out of circulation in safe deposits, as is the case with all the other existing so called 'transition town' complementary currencies, like the Lewes, Brixton, Bristol pounds etc.

Argus wrote:The design of the new Brighton Pound would only circulate between a closed network of business and individuals prepared to swap sterling for the Btn £. As such it will not flourish, the same as the existing so called 'transition town' complementary currencies, like the Lewes, Brixton, Bristol pounds etc., which all need sterling to be taken out of circulation in safe deposits boxes.
My only question about it, would it be legal tender, could I go to Worthing or Eastbourne and use it, or would it be as useless as all of the euros I possess, waiting for me to go on holiday again?
If the council goes a step further then the action starts...
It prints 'Council Tax Pounds' and emits them say as expenses for Green Councillors, or council workers can accept them voluntarily as part or their wages, at par with sterling, then any local business that pays Brighton council tax, can safely accept them as payment.

Its worked many times in history, for example during the Worgl Miracle

On Saturday, Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 1540, which allows the state to adopt a new framework for public schools' social science and history coursework. Why does this matter for GSA activists?
The California State Assembly made history last week by passing a landmark bill that will ban psychological abuse inflicted on LGBT young people by deceitful mental health professionals who falsely claim to be able change their sexual orientation or gender expression.
America's recent "crackdown" on bullies intends to protect LGBTQ students -- but does it? Join GSA Network, Advancement Project, and Alliance for Educational Justice for a Twitter Town Hall on Tuesday, June 26 at 4 pm PST.
This morning, President Obama announced a new policy on immigration: he is halting the deportation of many undocumented immigrant students. GSA Network welcomes and applauds this decision, which will allow as many as 1 million students to receive work authorization and stay in the country to study.
This policy will provide relief to many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth who are eligible for the DREAM Act, along with many other immigrant student leaders who have built their lives in the United States.
Youth reading this are probably all too familiar with the findings in today's report from the Human Rights Campaign on issues faced by LGBT youth. But that doesn't mean you should ignore it -- research like this can be a valuable tool for creating change.
For example, the next time someone tries to tell you that bullying is a "rite of passage" that affects all young people the same way, or that queer youth don't face unique challenges? Whip out this report.
Last month, over 50 young people traveled to Sacramento to advocate for legislation that would make California schools safer for all students -- rather than simply push students who don't feel safe out of school.
Now, those critical bills are up for a vote -- and they need YOUR help. Call your state Assemblymember or Senator this week and ask them to support the bills listed below.

"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt."
"Measure for Measure"
-W. Shakespeare
In the military you do get coins from people for deeds that merit recognition, but do not merit enough recognition for an official reward. I have never been in the military, but I used to work in conjunction with military people, so I have a few people have given me.
Challenge coins remind me of Pogs and slammers when I was in grade school.
[QUOTE=The Deacon;812701To me, the name evokes images of situations where excessive amounts of testosterone collide with excessive amounts of alcohol.[/QUOTE]
Even in times of peace a gentleman still keeps a sword by his side
I have challenged a few people with coins at get togethers and at the BLADE show and it is fun. Usually the person who does not have his coin has to buy the other a drink. I am not in the military so I don't know exactly how they are used but I believe it is a merit thing.
IMO in the knife world it is a bit more of a friendship or supporter thing. I would buy a couple of these as keepsakes and I think it is a great idea for those of us who love all things Spyderco. I have two other coins from knife companies. One I had to buy after I reached a certain number of posts on their forum. Another was given to me at the BLADE show.
"Be prepared.....It is more than a motto it is a way of life."

In for sure
BUMP. Still hoping for a challenge coin. I think EDCF used makecoins.com, and it was around $10 for each coin. (Assuming over 100 coins are purchased.) Not too sure though, but they sell it for $20 with profit. Even at $20 I'd buy a Spyderco challenge coin. Anyone else?
Carry a sharp knife, and life will never be dull
Yep! Still want one.
Bumping this thread, because I sure as heck would want one... Or five.
Got GIN-1?
Spyderco makes a traditional challenge coin that is being used in the traditional way. Given to special military personnel that Kristi, Mike and some of the managers can do. They are not for sale and will not be commercialized.
We can discuss another type of coin that is Spyderco, but a different "animal" than the Military challenge coin. I'm open to share thoughts and suggestions.
I got my first unit coin in 1976 after arriving at 2/75 RGR Battalion at Fort Lewis, Washington.
You learned very quickly to have your coin with you at all times. All times. If another ranger threw down his coin (literally) you had better be able to produce yours. If not, the penalty could be push-ups or buying a round at the bar or anything inbetween.
When I went to Special Forces and was at Language School I used to run with a senior sergeant I knew from our days together at Camp Rudder (Florida Ranger Camp). Mike was the "King of Coining" and had told me to never be without my coin. We did a good 4-5 miles one afternoon at DLI, out the back gate and down the hill then back up. I'd tucked my coin into my sock figuring Mike would throw his down somewhere along the route. We sprinted the last several hundred yards back onto DLI and were both doubled over near puking when I threw my coin down. Mike just stared at it then called me an evil SOB. He bought the beer that night.
Back then coins did not go operational. Dead give-away if lost during training or live deployments. That was understood. But once back in garrison anything went.
Challenge coins are now commonplace and there are some very, very nice ones out there.
This last week I was honored to present Sal with our Green Beret Foundation coin. This for all he has personally done and provided through Spyderco for our military and its veterans over the years. Thank you again, Sal.
And I am honored to now have and carry along with my own GBF coin one of Spyderco's.
Another great challenge coin story - the late Al Mar recommended Gary Fadden, then at Beretta Knives, for an Associate's Membership in the Special Forces Association. Gary's application was approved and he immediately got his SFA coin. Al was hell on wheels when it came to great pranks, challenges and otherwise screwing with his friends. Gary, knowing he had to always have his coin with him - especially around Al - had it mounted so he could wear it as a necklace. Whenever he was out and about where having your coin (like at an SOF convention) Gary always had his coin right there with him. He was impossible to challenge successfully and he took great pleasure in winning (or surviving) a challenge.

Well, I certainly have not been worthy to see the Spyderco Military Challenge Coin, so I'm not sure what designs are found on the two sides of that coin... SO, as far as suggestions for that "different animal"...
- Perhaps that "different animal" could have the symbol dominating the "heads" side of the coin. That, to me, says "Spyderco" as loudly as the "Emerson Skull" says "Emerson" on the Emerson Knives Challenge Coin.
- As far as the "tails" side of the Commercialized Spyderco Challenge Coin is concerned... well, I'm not sure... perhaps the inscription, "Golden Colorado U.S.A. Earth"... which, to me, says the coin needs to be at least made in the United States of America.
I've been in the military for quite a few years and have certainly become QUITE FAMILIAR with the significance of the Unit Coin, Military Challenge Coin, or RMO (Round Metal Object). The Unit Coin has played a significant role in the U.S. Military as far back as World War I, and continues to hold significant meaning today.
I say, DAMN IT, let's get on with it! Sal, I feel the interest in a Spyderco Challenge Coin for your End Line Users IS THERE! I, for one, certainly would not mind having a Commercialized Spyderco Challenge Coin as an additional EDC.

START (Systemic Therapy for At Risk Teens): A National Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate Multisystemic Therapy in the UK Context
PI: Peter Fonagy
for Children, Schools and Families, £1,030,241 (2008-2013)
Department for Children, Schools and Families, £235,000 (2011-2014), extension of the trial
START is a multi-site trial of 700 families in the UK investigating a form of intervention (multisystemic therapy) for young people and their families who are experiencing difficulties at home, at school and sometimes with the law. We are comparing Multisystemic Therapy (MST) with other services that are currently offered to young people and their families who are considered to be at 'high risk' of requiring out-of-home care such as fostering, social care or custody if associated with antisocial behaviour such as conviction as a young offender. The trial will answer the question of whether MST can contribute to significantly reducing the rate of out of home placement and see a (a) decrease in antisocial behaviour, (b) increase in the young person's well-being, (c) improved educational outcomes and (d) improved family functioning.
STARS (School Transition and Adjustment Research Study)
PI: Frances Rice
Nuffield Foundation, £118,112 (2011-2014)
Moving from primary to secondary school involves a degree of apprehension for most pupils and a minority of pupils experience a range of difficulties in adjusting to secondary school as shown by lower grades, poor attendance and increased anxiety. This study aims to identify factors that make a successful transition to secondary school more likely as well as to identify risk factors for a difficult transition. We are tracking a group of 2000 pupils as they make the transition from primary school to secondary school. We are collecting information on three occasions from pupils, parents and teachers and asking about pupils' wellbeing, academic achievement, and their views about school and relationships with friends and teachers. We will investigate how friendships and relationships with teachers and parents can help pupils make a positive transition to secondary school. Our aim is to develop an evidence base in order to help support vulnerable pupils at the transition to secondary school.

With Mother's Day fast approaching many of us are looking for a sweet treat to share with mom, perhaps something tasty to brighten her day. Julie Wiedmeyer of Sun Prairie's "The Vanilla Beanery" stopped by Wake Up Wisconsin to share a few tips, using her favorite ingredient, vanilla.
As a mom herself, Wiedmeyer says she always cherishes handmade gifts. Sometimes it was a clay artwork project from school, a handwritten note, or something special from the kitchen. Here's one idea.

A Punta Gorda woman is taking the phrase holiday spirit to a whole new level. Along with an army of volunteers, she is offering up free Christmas dinners all over Southwest Florida. Some would call it a Christmas miracle. Judy Jones calls it just another day at the office. "This is an every day thing here but anyway it's more this time of year because there are a lot of people that are out of jobs and people are coming from up north and different areas, there's no work," she said. A woman of faith, Jones has been operating the Bread of Life Mission for more than 40 years. She says she makes sure help is given wherever it's needed.
"God has blessed us through many donors who believe in what we do and have been supporting us for many, many years, I couldn't do this without my donors," she said. On Christmas Eve, donor Russ Walter brought a bounty of food for Jones' free Christmas dinner event. "They do a lot of good for a lot of people," he said. Others who share Jones's vision are helping by preparing all the food needed for tomorrow's giveaway. And they're preparing enough for 2,000 people! That includes 40 cooked turkeys, 50 pounds of rice and beans and 40 pounds of spaghetti. Jones say she wants nothing in return except more help from the community to help her continue her mission. "This is a job, it's not a Judy Jones problem and it's not about Santa Clause, it's not about Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer. It's about Jesus; he is the reason for the season," Jones said.
Jones says they'll also be delivering food and clothing to many who can't make it out on Christmas.
The free dinner event will be held at the Bread of Life Mission starting at noon. Everyone is welcome to attend and all contributions are welcome.

Panelists outline today's educational challenges, trends and aspirations
Friday, May 03, 2013
The panelists were Richard Freeland, Commissioner of Higher Education; Alan Ingram, Deputy Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education; and David McGrath, the Deputy Commissioner of Early Education and Care, all of whom addressed the Friends of Lesley and other Lesley community members in Washburn Hall on Lesley's Brattle Campus on Thursday evening. Lesley University President Joseph Moore and Dean of Lesley's Graduate School of Education Jack Gillette moderated the discussion and posed questions to the panelists.
The three speakers, who each bring a wealth of experience to their current posts, offered insights and opinions on the current priorities and challenges across higher education, K-12 education, and early childhood education. The panelists addressed the changing demographics in Massachusetts and corresponding impact throughout all levels of education.
Freeland noted the steady student population growth in public higher education in Massachusetts that is conjoined with a growing challenge to provide an effective education and ensure college success to an increasing population of diverse and underserved students.
"It's worth noting that even though our enrollments are growing, the overall population in Massachusetts in quite stagnant," Freeland said. "In fact, if not for immigration, Massachusetts would be losing population. … On the one hand, we have a student body that is growing, but as it grows, it represents additional challenges in terms of college attainment and degree completion."
In relation to that, Ingram painted a picture of two distinct narratives in K-12 education and the need to set high expectations for all students. He pointed to Massachusetts' leading test scores, high school graduation rates, and low dropout rates, but he cautioned that those statistics don't hold true for all students.
"We celebrate a lot of success in our K-12 educational arena across the Commonwealth," said Ingram, the former superintendent of the Springfield schools. "But there is another narrative, and it's the narrative around the high needs students," he said, describing children who live in poverty, speak English as a second language, and who are often mistakenly identified as special needs.
"Everybody who shows up gets to come in, and it's our responsibility to educate all children," Ingram continued. "(We need to) make sure we have a system in place that looks at practice," he said, emphasizing the importance of effective teaching that reaches all children.
McGrath said there also needs to be a focus on quality education for young children, ages three to five, at a stage when brain development is critical and lays the foundation for children to become successful students and adults.
"The investment of $1 in early education will result in saving $10 later on," McGrath stated. "It's a lot easier to invest than to remediate."
The discussion ranged to include issues around college affordability, the lack of civics and citizenship in education, and education funding.
And just as the conversation examined issues spanning early childhood through college education, Lesley's president concluded that it's wise for education professionals at all levels to view education holistically.
"From my sense, the future belongs to people who are boundary spanners," said Moore, referring to those who are in their niche but are also actively engaged in and knowledgeable of the big picture, which Lesley tries to achieve, he said.
