Pasadena-area State Senator Anthony Portantino announced Thursday that further consideration of SB 50, a controversial housing bill some local civic leaders feared would change Pasadena for the worse, was being held for the year, but would come back before the Senate in 2020.
The proposed bill would create far-reaching changes in zoning rules across California, preempting local land use controls to allow for swaths of land dedicated to single-family homes to be eligible for bigger developments and requiring cities to allow super-sized housing projects near transit.
Portantino told Pasadena Now "there were legitimate height and density concerns about its impact on cities with bus and rail lines, historic preservation, and unintended consequences for creating a disincentive for expanding light rail."
"This effort needed to be paused for further conversation," he said.
Developers reacted with disappointment. But Pasadena Councilmembers reached for comment and the leader of an important local preservation group said they were relieved, at least for now.
Mayor Terry Tornek pulled no punches.
"It was overreach and a complete state preemption of traditional, local land use controls," Tornek said. "I'm glad that it's not going to happen at least this year. But the issue hasn't gone away."
In part that's because SB-50 reflects a current viewpoint that's "become a kind of a Jihad against single-family housing … there's a point of view that that's identified single-family housing as the source of all of our housing problems," Tornek said.
Pasadena Heritage Executive Director Sue Mossman was "absolutely thrilled" with the postponement.
"Certainly everybody is concerned about the creation of more housing. California needs it," Mossman said. "This particular bill had too many flaws and in our opinion was too disrespectful of local jurisdictions."
Councilmember Andy Wilson said important revisions must be made to SB-50 before it is acceptable.
Wilson pointed to a set of recommendations the Pasadena City Council sent by a delegation to Sacramento which called for changes respecting historic landmark districts and a more neighborhood-specific formula when it comes to allowing taller, denser housing near transit stops.
Pasadena's plan offers "much more reasonable, thoughtful approaches around how to put density in areas that make sense without blanketing parts of our city," Wilson said.
Pasadena has been "prolific" in producing new housing, he said, so the state should acknowledge good work of like cities and put pressure on other cities which haven't increased housing stock.
"I think it needs to be more targeted and more thoughtful and recognize … Pasadena is already doing its fair share," Wilson said.

The American Textbook Council is often asked to provide usage lists and sales rankings of the nation's widely adopted history textbooks. The Council cannot provide such information, which is usually proprietary and not available outside textbook companies. The details of textbook volume and sales have never been easy to obtain. Today these numbers and data are harder than ever to calculate. The number of major school publishers has dropped from about a dozen to three. Major publishers do their best to keep their products and their performance opaque.
The Council's databases, developed since 1986, survey publishers' websites, key states, and large school districts to determine what are the nation's most widely adopted textbooks in history and social studies. They track stand-alone volumes in several editions and titles.
The instructional materials that mass-market publishers develop and publish have at best tangential connections with these traditional author-based textbooks. New, radically reconstituted programs - packaged and ornamental, not authored or text-centered - and the apparent departure of most established textbooks - leave the Council no option but to discontinue lists and rankings of social studies textbooks as it has done in the past.
Determined teachers with some autonomy in textbook selection can try to find and purchase copies of backlisted or "classic" textbooks with older copyrights. Teachers should keep in mind: older books used in history courses are not "worse" books, even books bought with copyrights that are ten years old. Some established older textbooks and editions are available for purchase on publishers' websites. Teachers can buy out-of-print textbooks through third-party sellers (albeit in small numbers) on the Internet.
The Council cannot recommend any Pearson middle- or high-school social studies textbook titles. Pearson apparently has taken out of print three established Prentice Hall textbooks, Boorstin's History of the United States, Cayton's Pathways to the Present, and Davidson's American Nation. Prentice Hall now issues its widely used world history, Connections to Today, with a generic World History title.
In secondary-level U.S. history McGraw-Hill's Glencoe offers the "best" of the easy readers, the popular program, American Journey. Glencoe's Human Heritage is an established, satisfactory middle-school world history.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Holt McDougal publishes The Americans in high-school U.S. history and Patterns of Interaction in high-school world history. These two full-service programs are the most instructionally sound textbook choices available to teachers who must choose from K-12 materials and are recommended.
Given the absence of quality and choice in standard-issue K-12 social studies textbooks, one that stands in stark contrast to textbook publishing a generation ago, the Council strongly recommends that high school teachers consider the use of a "college level" textbook of the kind employed in honors and Advanced Placement courses.
Fifteen to twenty-five major college-level American History survey textbooks exist, depending on one's markers and metrics. College books - so designated - are recommended for all able high school students, not only Advanced Placement students. Many college surveys are relatively easy to read - they are designed for community colleges and made to be readable to the English challenged. College-level textbooks have stronger narrative threads and greater substance. They are more readable. They make more episodic and chronological sense than the fragmented, text-light fare in 8-12 grade offerings. Some leading U.S. history textbooks include:
Texas History Standards and Textbook Adoption
Click for 2010 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Social Studies Code.
In November 2014 a divided Texas State Board of Education adopted new social studies instructional materials for classroom use starting in the 2015-2016 academic school year. (It has not done so for more than a decade.) This ends years of ideological conflict and political warfare over history curriculum content that has attracted national attention and stirred partisan complaints over history textbooks.
In 2010, the Texas state board of education adopted controversial social studies standards that have determined the content of Texas state instructional materials. At the time members of the Christian Right on the state board were vocal defenders of standards that progressives in Texas and elsewhere felt strongly were outside the boundaries of acceptable history. After that, liberals charge, textbook publishers surrendered to a version of American and world history that is tainted by Christian bias, whitewashes free enterprise, soft pedals slavery, and is deficient or worse when it comes to women, blacks, gays and Muslims.
The facts are, the Texas history standards generally conform to what is already in the nation's textbooks. The state's religious right does not exert unique sway over publishers. Texas is an important educational market but not make-or-break nationally and hasn't been for decades. This is true more than ever with changing instructional materials and classroom styles.
If there is any larger meaning in Texas, it is that Pearson, McGraw Hill and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt – the three publishers that have a lock on K-12 textbooks – produce nearly identical "products" to be sold in Texas and nationwide. Scrubbed and focus-tested to be "teacher friendly" and "inclusive," today's cartoonish, text-light, diversity-themed social studies readers are imbedded in multimedia "programs." They are pitched to the least capable instructors and students, designed to sell in every state and district.
Furthermore, when it comes to history textbooks, identity politics rules in Texas and the nation. The dumbing-down of general education and diversity-based learning continues, ratified in the social studies textbooks now to be used in an important state.

The Tipsheet Interview: Dominik "Hiromatsu" Oslizlo
End Note
Palm Introduces the m100 -- On Monday, August 7, Palm, Inc. announced a new organizer named the m100. This new $150 handheld is closest in size to the Palm V series at 4.66" x 3.12" x 0.72" and 4.4 ounces, though its rounded shape is quite a departure from earlier Palm handheld designs. The m100 sports a 25% smaller, sharper detailed plastic screen, 2MB of RAM and no Flash ROM, PalmOS 3.5, louder alarms, a Sync cable with integrated HotSync button, and a flip cover which when closed has a small window for the new 'Clock-At-A Glance' feature. This new flip cover with a mini-window displays the time with a button press and can flip around to the back of the unit and out of the way.
Another new feature in the m100 is a 'sticky note' application for taking freehand notes and drawings, with a conduit and corresponding desktop applications for the Mac and Windows computers. The m100 has replaceable face plates priced at $20 a piece, like the faceplate feature of many mobile phones.
The m100 seems aimed squarely at students, especially if Palm can bring the price of the m100 down to the $100 price point in time for the Christmas shopping season in the US. Handspring should take notice as their Visor Solo now has serious competition. Still, the two devices are slightly different; the Visor Solo comes without a cradle (The Visor USB cradle is available separately for $30) while the m100 offers a new Sync Cable and the Visor offers a Springboard slot to counter the m100's lack of expansion capabilities.
http://reviews.pdalive.com/m100.html http://www.spug.org/reviews/rm100.htm
If you like living dangerously, this Japanese website offers step by step instructions in English on how to void your warranty on a Palm m100 by upgrading the on board RAM from 2MB to 8MB.
Palm Vx Adds 2 New Colors, Palm VIIx offers 8MB RAM and a New Case -- Also announced with the m100 were two special edition versions of the $400 Palm Vx, in two new metallic colors: Champagne and Millennium Blue. These organizers sport only exterior color changes with no hardware updates.
Also released was the Palm VIIx, an upgraded Palm VII device, with 8MB of RAM in a darker gray case similar to Palm IIIc and IIIxe. The Palm VIIx costs $450.
Sony to Sell CLIE Palm handheld in September -- Sony formally announced the new CLIE (Communication Link Information Entertainment) Palm handheld which includes 8MB RAM, 2MB Flash RAM, an 8MB Memory Stick and a grayscale screen. The CLIE runs Palm OS 3.5, sports the new 'Jog Dial' navigator, a rechargable internal battery, USB HotSync cradle and battery recharger, AC travel adapter and protective case. The handheld also includes software for moving data to and from Memory Sticks as well as an audio/video player. The device requires Windows 98/ME/2000 and is currently incompatible with Macs, even though a USB cradle is provided. CLIE retails for $400 and is available now from Sony online and in stores during September.
Palm Fights Back Against the PocketPC Threat -- In this interesting MSNBC article, Pui-Wing Tam of the Wall Street Journal explains just how Palm Computing, Inc. has taken a proactive, aggressive stance against Microsoft's efforts at dominating the handheld market.
Right on the Spot, Palm Spot -- This past month I came across the Palm Spot, a Palm-centric website which features a 'what's new' page with a current list of the most recent Palm software releases and updates. Other optional what's new pages include news and e-documents. The Join-in area provides forums for Palm handheld users and an Add-Ons area offers books and accessories for handhelds.
HandheldNews.com -- Another of my recently discovered sites includes HandheldNews.com, a clearing house for software releases and updates, news, reviews, discussions, listings of Palm mailing lists, classified ads, and Palm related links.
Internet Only Palm User Group (IOPUG) -- If you would love to join a Palm user group but no user groups are close enough to you, then the IOPUG might be the perfect solution. Palm users can join for free at the group's website and have discussions with other members by also joining the user group's eGroups mailing list. The purpose of IOPUG is to share tips, tricks, and information for all PalmOS handhelds and to connect Palm users from around the world together via the internet.
Real People helping Real People at Suite 101 Palm -- This site, created and maintained by Palm user Janice Karin, features interesting new articles each Tuesday, which vary from reviews of Palm software to how-tos for Palm users. Janice's articles are available on the website or for reading or for download as Doc formatted files. Useful links, top five websites, and discussions are also available at the site.
A New Palm E-Zine: The Palm Review -- This new weekly e-zine created by Dennis Metzcher offers original in-depth articles, news, reader polls, hardware and software reviews, as well as user tips for Palm handhelds. If you're interested in receiving this excellent weekly newsletter, you can sign up at the Palm Review Listbot website or check out the discussions, software and archived issues in Doc format at the Palm Review website.
Questions Answered at Ben's Palm Rapid FAQ -- Ben's Palm Rapid FAQ contains answers to the burning questions plaguing Palm users. While it is a FAQ which answers standard Palm questions, the site takes the approach of answering common questions which are being discussed currently within the Palm online community.
Funky Custom Palms at Palm de COOL -- If you're interested in seeing just how far people will go to customize their Palm handhelds, then you'll want to check out this website. The latest photos of 'tuned' and 'hacked' items such as a hand-cranked battery powered Palm V, pink Handspring Visor Deluxe, and clear plastic TRGPro are listed on this funky Japanese site. If you're interested in English details, there is an English page, though it's not as frequently updated as the Japanese page.
Find It With IntellegentFind -- Improving on the stock Palm find application, IntellegentFind allows users to ask questions in regular English and provides a results list by relevancy. The application can search inside any Palm application which supports the built-in find function and is very reasonably priced at $10. A 30 day, unlimited demo is available.
The Michelin Red Guide in the Palm of Your Hand -- If you're a European traveller who uses the Michelin Red Guide for hotel selection, you now have another option; the Palm version of the guide. The application offers all of the features the paper version does along with the capability to add your own notes to each entry. The Red Guide requires PalmOS 3.0 or later and is available in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian for $50.
Carry Kid's Books on Your Color Palm with eTales -- If you've ever been away from home and have forgotten toys or books for the kids, now you can carry children's stories on your Palm handheld! DDH Software is now offering four Palm-based children's stories, complete with vivid color illustrations in a package for $10. Note that DDH's eTales require PalmOS 3.5 or better and works best on a color screen but will also display on a grayscale handheld. If you'd like to check out the stories, you can download 'The Party Outside My Window' for a 30 day free trial.
Carry PDF Document Data on Your Palm -- Two products were announced in August making PDF reading and viewing possible on the Palm platform. First, Aportis is offering a new Windows application which extracts the text from any PDF document and saves it as a Doc format file for reading on a Palm handheld. The Aportis offers a 30 day trial on the $15 PDF converter.
Later in the month, Ansyr Technology announced that they will offer Primer PDF Viewer for Palm, which is supposed to view actual PDF files on a Palm handheld, rather than simply extracting text. The company already offers Primer for PocketPC and expects to ship the new product in September.
Capture your Notes With Seiko SmartPad -- Take handwritten notes which are recorded on both paper and in your Palm... too good to be true? Not with the $200 Seiko SmartPad. The SmartPad comes bundled with a leather case, which holds a regular pad of paper over the SmartPad capture area and a holder for any Palm III or V series device. The pad captures your notes and drawings from the paper via an included SmartPen and relays them via infrared to your Palm handheld. Notes can then be transferred to your PC via conduit for editing. Unfortunately Mac users don't get a conduit and must email notes via MultiMail Pro back to themselves to access the captured information.
Wrap Your Palm III Series Handheld in Aluminum -- Tired of your Palm III series' gray plastic case? Now you can replace your average gray plastic case with a brushed aluminum case from Dave Design. These cases are CNC machined from high quality aluminum and are available in anodized silver, black or blue, with custom colors at an additional cost. The Dave Design replacement case is about as much as a new Palm IIIxe or Visor Deluxe at a cool $250, but you'll certainly stand out from the crowd. The case may also be useful for those who use Palm handhelds in industrial settings.
MemorySafe Provides a Backup Solution for Palm Users -- Northstar Mobile is now offering a storage and backup solution to the new Palm handheld called MemorySafe. This small device contains either 2MB or 8MB of Flash RAM and snaps onto the serial port of any m100 or Palm III series handheld, including the Palm VII. The 2MB version sells for $50, the 8MB version for $65.
Mike's Palm Software Essentials
by Mike Rohde
I'm often asked by new Palm handheld users, what applications I consider software essentials. Normally I suggest a process of first clarifying my goals in order to find applications which best fit my needs. By starting with the goal in mind, the right software tool can be correctly chosen.
In this article I'll share details about the essential software tools I use daily. Although I may suggest certain applications, this doesn't necessarily mean others ought to consider them essentials, since their goals may vary. Essential tools differ from person to person and that's the beauty of the Palm; it's flexible enough to fit a wide variety of people's needs.
What Makes Software Essential? -- Over the past few years, I've found that I have often chosen a select few tools again and again to achieve my goals -- these I consider my essentials. These essential tools tend to be multi-function, and adapt well to various tasks. They're also able to manipulate data in multiple ways to suit multiple needs.
Stock Essential Tools Included! -- While many of the essential tools mentioned in this article have been created by software developers outside of Palm computing, it is worth mentioning there are Palm stock applications included on every Palm handheld which I consider essential tools.
*Address Book
Take for instance the Address Book, which I consider one of the most useful applications on the Palm. This is one bit of software is used a huge percentage of Palm users, indicating it is a truly essential Palm tool.
While the stock Address Book is aimed at storing contacts, it can be used as a handy database of more detailed information relevant to each contact. This raises the Address Book well beyond the simple name and address storage tool it appears to be at first glance. For more detail on the Address Book, check out 'Supercharging Your Address Book' in issue 8.0 of the Palm Tipsheet:
Another tool I consider essential is the Memopad, which allows Palm users to store all different sorts of information in a variety of categories. The Memopad is fluid enough to store recipes, song lyrics, album track listings, movie show times, meeting notes, poetry, train schedules and more.
The Memopad also benefits from its desktop counterpart and the conduits which link them together via HotSyncing. Because it's easy to copy and paste data into the memopad on the desktop, all sorts of useful tidbits (up to 4k each) can be carried in your Palm. This also works from handheld to desktop, when you jot down quick notes, or edit information which might have been originally entered on the desktop.
Third Party Software Essentials -- The first two essentials mentioned are applications included with your organizer whether you like it or not; the next list of essentials are those you need to download and in some cases purchase from their developers.
*Hierarchial Outliners
One of the most often used applications on my own Visor Deluxe is the hierarchial outliner BrainForest. Rather than a simple check list like the stock to-do list, this hierarchical outliner allows me to create items and then insert or create sub-items within them. BrainForest even provides a 'percentage completed' feature for even greater control. Outliner applications can help reduce a long list of to-dos into a collapsable 'tree' format similar to the folder formats of Mac and Windows computer filing systems.
BrainForest (*Mike's Essential*)
*Doc Editor & Reader
Another tool that I've come to regard as an essential, is a Doc editor & reader. This essential tool allows me to read as well as create and edit Doc files right on my Visor handheld. Doc format was created by Rich Bram in the infancy of the Palm, and provides a way to compress regular text files to a fraction of their original size (useful when RAM was tight on Palm devices).
Many Doc readers have since been released, offering a wide variety of features. This ability to edit Doc files on my Palm handheld is incredibly handy, especially for taking notes, editing or writing texts which are too long for the memopad. Several Doc readers are able to edit and read Doc files, including SmartDoc, TakeNote, Pedit and QED.
SmartDoc (*Mike's Essential*)
*Database Application
Having access to and capturing data on my Palm handheld is an essential function, making a Palm database an essential tool. For example, I have several database templates I use often; a template to track my fuel mileage, a template to store my URL links and another to store my CD collection. Palm databases are great, because if I see the need for a new database, I can immediately create it on my Palm handheld and begin entering data.
I've chosen HanDBase as my database application of choice, though all of the other available databases, including DB, JFile Pro, MobileDB and ThinkDB are quite powerful and ought to suit many users' needs.
HanDBase (*Mike's Essential*)
J-File Pro
*Shopping List Application
Because Palm handhelds are so small, they make wonderful shopping tools. A few software developers have realized this and have developed some shopping applications to fill this need. Generally, shopping-specific applications allow you to enter stores as well as shopping items from which to build a shopping list. Each item can then be checked off as they're purchased until you have a empty shopping list. I've chosen HandyShopper because it's powerful and free!
HandyShopper (*Mike's Essential*)
While shopping applications are more focused on tracking items you can shop for, many users have used shopping list tools for other database uses, like tracking rents. For more information on alternate uses for shopping tools, check out Deron Matson's review of HandyShop in issue 6.0 of the Palm Tipsheet:
*Sensitive Data Storage Application
Another item which I consider an essential is Secret, my sensitive data storage application. Secret stores my credit card numbers, PIN numbers and any other secretive information which requires protection from prying eyes. Several different applications are available to fill the bill, and each one approaches private data storage differently; but all of these tools use powerful encryption schemes to protect your most sensitive data.
Secret (*Mike's Essential*)
Mobile Account Manager
Top Secret
Web Confidential
*Hackmaster & Hacks
Finally, one of the very first additions to my Palm handheld many years ago was the classic system extension Hackmaster. This essential utility provides control panel-like access to the Palm operating system. For instance, several favorite hacks allow me to use my menus like a Mac (MenuHack), switch between applications and list the 10 most recently used apps (SwitchHack), change my system font (FontHack 123), and hold up to 28,0000 characters in my Palm's clipboard (ClipHack). Hackmaster is $10 and hacks vary in price from free to a few dollars each.

Conclusion -- I sincerely hope this list of my essentials inspires you to investigate these tools and encourages you to find practical applications for your own essential tools. Above all, have fun! ;-)
The Tipsheet Interview:
Dominik "Hiromatsu" Oslizlo
If you're as curious as I am about the state of the Palm in countries around the world, I think you'll really enjoy this feature interview. Many Palm Tipsheet readers are from international locations, so I felt it would be quite cool to have some of them share their Palm experiences with us in an interview format.
I hope these interviews provide insight about Palm use in many countries, offer international perspectives to the Palm community and demonstrate how much Palm users really have in common.
*Let the interview Begin -- In this issue, I have interviewed Dominik "Hiromatsu" Oslizlo, a Palm user from Poznan, Poland. Dominik is a student at the Poznan School of Banking and uses a Palm Vx for tracking his schedule, reading e-texts and playing an occasional game. Dominik has also created a new iSilo formatted Palm newsletter for Polish users providing news and reviews from his own perspective.
*PT: Dominik, thank you for taking the time to share your Palm using experience with the Palm Tipsheet.
Dominik: Not at all, Mike. It's an honor for me, as the Palm Tipsheet is the first Palm e-zine I really like and find useful.
*PT: You live in Poland -- I'm curious to know how popular Palm handhelds are there. Have they been gaining popularity recently, or have you noticed them being used by people for a long time?
Dominik: Actually, I haven't met any Palm user before I bought my Palm, but I didn't search for them either. I have some friends who use Palms but I don't know them personally, we just send e-mails. But, as the guy who sold me my Vx said, the popularity of Palm is still growing here. The only problem is that Palms are not cheap and most of people I know prefer to buy a laptop than a HPC.
*PT: Is your Palm an English version, or a localized Polish language operating system?
Dominik: I use an English OS. There is a patch for 3.1, but not for 3.5 yet. (BTW, I haven't experienced any problems with 3.5.) I once installed InterPilot, but it wouldn't work. It has been tested under 3.3 and it seems that it doesn't want to work correctly on my Palm. As soon as the patch is released by Scientific (my provider), I will install it.
*PT: Is there a version of Graffiti which allows you to write special Polish characters on your Palm? Or must you use other methods to enter special Polish characters?
Dominik: For this 3.1 patch -- there are special graffiti strokes to write Polish letters. We have 9 local characters.
*PT: When you are using your Palm, what kinds of reactions do you see from people? Are they intrigued by your Palm? Do you have opportunities to 'evangelize' the Palm to them?
Dominik: Yes I have. Many of them haven't even heard about Palm. Palmtops, in general, yes, but not Palm. In my opinion the distribution channels of Palm in Poland are too new, Cassiopeia has probably a slightly better position on the market. So if somebody has seen a palmtop, it would be a Cassiopeia or Psion rather than Palm.
Also, the reactions vary. Sometimes they don't react. Sometimes they just observe, which gives me some satisfaction. But sometimes they ask. One day when I was on my way home, a girl asked me what was the thing I was using. She couldn't believe me when I said it was a computer. I think people here got used to the typical image of a PC -- stationary or a laptop.
*PT: How does the Palm help you in your everyday life?
Dominik: I didn't realize how chaotic my life was before I bought a Palm, so the time tracking apps are something I need most. My friend once asked me, after I had shown him my Palm, if as a student I have THAT many meetings. I explained to him that "meetings" are useful not only for real meetings but for every action that needs time to be completed.
*PT: Are there any programs which you use daily and couldn't live without?
Dominik: I haven't bought any program yet but I think about Action Names, because it extends the functionality of built-in time tracking and contact applications. I really couldn't live without it. The other apps that I find very useful are: iSilo and MobiPocket Reader (I love reading novels and jokes on the way, especially MobiPocket is a perfect app for this), FireViewer, games of course (Grouper is my best logical game). Palm V Hack is also very useful, and Victor 3.5 which lets me get rid of the orphaned memory.
Unfortunately I can't use AvantGo, because I have too much stuff connected to my PC (printer, scanner etc.) and no free IRQ, so when I open the connection between my Palm and PC I have no access to the internet. Well, sure I could resign of using my mouse instead :). The only solution seems to be a Palm modem or USB HotSync cradle.
*PT: Are there any hardware or software items that you plan to buy in the near future? What functions will you use these for?
Dominik: There are many of them, especially hardware solutions. I think the first thing I'm going to buy is a modem, because I'd like to check and send e-mail when on the way. Unfortunately there is no OmniSky service in Poland yet. But maybe I'll just use null-modem... still not sure.
There are more useful thingies: portable keyboard, FlashPlug, screen protectors, a REALLY interesting metal case (I wonder if I could paint the original hard case). I know there is also an extension that lets you use your Palm as a voice recorder. Well, maybe some day.
The thing I'd like to buy the most would be a 3 1/2" floppy drive for Palm, which would allow me to exchange files between PC and Palm without HotSyncing, storing documents etc. But there is no such drive. The software I'd like to buy in the nearest future is ActionNames and maybe Intelligent Find.
*PT: Would you share a funny story that relates to your Palm with us? :-)
Dominik: When I bought my Vx I used to download dozens of applications from Eurocool and other sites. As I have no PC in Poznan and the computers at school don't have HotSync cradles, every weekend I returned home I had 40-50 programs to install.
The funniest thing is that when I arrived home I always said to my beloved grandma I'd come in a minute to talk with her and then I sat at the computer and spent there many hours, finishing at night. Oh yes, I remember all these Fatal Exceptions. Mhmmm... memories... :)
I believe I might even break my Palm permanently. But you know, you don't know that you're alive until you have a gun put against your head. "It's better to burn out than to fade away".
*PT: I understand that you are currently working on a Polish language Palm e-zine, could you tell me more about that?
Dominik: That's true. I have recently placed my web page on the server. The address is:
The title is NaPalm!!! -- "Na" means "For" in Polish, so NaPalm would be something like "ForPalm" in English. I want my magazine to be not only about Palm. I'd like to place there some texts of my friends and all the people who would like to cooperate.
*PT: Thank you for taking time to share your Palm using experience in Poland with the Palm Tipsheet. Are there any final comments you'd like to share with the readers?
Dominik: You want me to say something like "Palm is great!", huh? Well, what else could I say... it is! :-)
Get Interviewed! -- If you're a Palm user in a country other than the US and are interested in being interviewed by the Palm Tipsheet, please let me know! Simply send an email to me at firstname.lastname@example.com with 'interview' in the subject line. If the response is positive, the interview may become a regular feature in the Palm Tipsheet.
And that wraps up another issue of the Palm Tipsheet! I trust the description of my own essentials will interest you in these applications and help you identify your own essential Palm applications. Special thanks to Dominik Oslizlo for his time. I hope his interview provides insight into Palm use in Poland and shows that the Palm community is indeed an international one.

Naples (Italy), June 26 – 28, 2019
School of Polytechnic and Basic Sciences, College of Engineering
University of Naples "Federico II"
P.le V. Tecchio, 80
80125 Napoli, Italy
The headquarter of the School of Engineering is located in the district of Fuorigrotta, easily reachable by public transportation (Underground, S.E.P.S.A. Cumana trains and buses)
A short history
The University of Naples Federico II is one of the oldest academic institutions in the world having been founded by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II von Schwaben in 1224.
The Faculty of Engineering of the University Federico II is one of the oldest and largest in Italy. The first School of Engineering was set in Naples in 1811 during the Napoleonic occupation of the Kingdom of Naples. Joachim Murat, King of Naples and Napoleon brother-in-law, decreed the foundation of the "Scuola di Applicazione di Ponti e Strade" (School for the construction of bridges and roads) on 4th March 1811. The school was modelled on the Ecole d'Application des Ponts et Chausses, which had been reorganized by Napoleon in 1804.
After Unification, in 1863, the school took the name of Royal School of Engineering and was made directly dependent from the Ministry of Education of the new unified Kingdom of Italy. The declared aim of the school was to "provide students with a degree in Mathematics all the necessary know-how and skills to practice the Art of Engineering and Architecture". A complete reorganization of the degree courses came in 1876 when the Regolamento Generale (General Rules) of all the Royal Schools of Engineering in Italy was changed. Since then onwards, two general 5 year degree courses where offered in the School: one for engineers, the other for architects.
In 1904 the Royal School of Engineering changed name into Higher Polytechnic School (Scuola Superiore Politecnica) and was finally transformed into the School of Engineering of the University of Naples in 1935.
The school was first hosted in the historical buildings of the University and then moved to a new location in 1965, when the new building of the Faculty of Engineering designed by the Italian architect Luigi Cosenza was opened in Fuorigrotta, a relatively newer area of Naples. Since then the Faculty has developed fast and nowadays offers more than 20 degree courses, several MSc. Programmes and Doctoral Schools.
In 2011 the Faculty has celebrated the 200th anniversary of its Foundation.

What's happening?
UK markets have stolen the spotlight to start the week with PM May preparing to call a snap election for June 8th to clear the air on the government's Brexit negotiating position. This news has sparked in both GBPUSD and the UK 100 both of which have been close to completing head and shoulders patterns which indicate significant trend changes may be underway.
Following last summer's Brexit referendum decision, Sterling plunged, sending the UK 100 soaring. In recent months, however, that initial effect has subsided. The lower pound ignited the UK economy and a lot of the initial fears of Brexit Doom turned out to be overblown. As the triggering of Article 50 approached and passed, GBPUSD formed a big head and shoulders base while the UK 100, still trading in the opposite direction, formed a big head and shoulders top. With 7,200 also failing to hold, next potential downside support appears near 7,140, 7,100 and a measured 7,080.
The UK 100 has broken down below 7,260 to start the week, completing the top and signalling the start of a new downtrend. RSI breaking under 40 to complete a descending triangle confirms a downturn in momentum.
GBPUSD, meanwhile, has been forming a head and shoulders base since October. Since the completion of the right shoulder in March, Cable has been trending upward with support moving up toward $1.2360. The pair recently broke out of a short-term downtrend. To start the week, the pair has rallied up off of $1.2500, through its 200-day average near $1.2620 and is testing $1.2685 the neckline of the basing pattern and also a 23% Fibonacci retracement of the previous downtrend. RSI is breaking out over 60 to indicate upward momentum accelerating. Next potential resistance on a breakout by the pair may appear near $1.2760 then $1.2900.
It took a few months for the market to digest the decision by the UK to leave the EU that took the street by surprise. Positive UK economic data post-vote, the release of details on UK and EU initial negotiating positions, the realization that cries of Brexit Doom were totally overdone and recognition of the opportunities Brexit may create for the UK has calmed traders. Since the beginning of the year, moves toward Brexit have boosted the pound while opposition and setbacks have weighed on the Pound.
The move toward calling a snap election for June 8 has taken the street by surprise as PM May had previously been indicating that the current government was planning to serve out its term until 2020.
So far, the street has taken the news of an election as a positive, giving the country a chance to clear the air before negotiations start, to provide the government with a clear mandate for negotiations and to provide voters an opportunity to deal with MPs who have not been respecting their wishes (particularly those who have been opposing Brexit in Parliament even though their constituents voted in favour of Brexit in last year's referendum).
Currently, it appears that traders have been seeing news that favours PM May and Brexit as bullish for GBP pairs and bearish for UK shares, with news favouring the opposition as bearish for GBP pairs and bullish for UK shares.
Heightened market volatility is likely over the election period, this could result in widened spreads. We recommend that you monitor positions carefully, consider the use of appropriate risk management tools and maintain a sufficient account surplus throughout this period.

In the late 80s the creation of a new public park in central Wellington became an act of cross-cultural collaboration, and an infamous battlezone between artist, council and naysayers. Following positive feedback over her design, council staff decided that redevelopment of Pigeon Park (an old pa site) would be led by Māori artist Shona Rapira Davies. This doco follows the passionate, stroppy Rapira Davies, as she fights cost overruns, landscape architects and passersby, and for her vision (which involved handcrafting Te Aro park's 20,000 plus ceramic tiles).
Wellington's Today Tonight was one of four regional news shows launched by TVNZ in 1980. Over the years its hosts included Roger Gascoigne, Mark Leishman and Mike Bodnar. The show covered the local news from the pre-Wellywood, pre-'Absolutely Positively' era: from restaurateur Remiro Bresolin's Venetian mural, and a Philip Rush midwinter swim to work (across the harbour); to show stalwart Bas Tubert doing an offbeat Lady and the Tramp number for the Botanic Gardens tulip festival, and Beehive whimsy when David Lange (PM) meets David Lange (farmer).
This sci-fi telefeature for kids follows the adventures of runaways Peter (Toby Laing) and Maggie (Toni Driscoll), who meet when Maggie's attempt to get Picnic bars on a five finger discount go awry and "rich brat" Peter is on the lam on a 10-speed. After falling into a grave of golden light at a farm cemetery, they wake up in the house of the strange Piper family. Laing is now trumpeter for Fat Freddys Drop, and a young Kerry Fox appears briefly as a policewoman in the opening. Scripted by veteran Ken Catran, the telefeature was re-cut from a four-part series.
The line "where the bloody hell are you?" generated controversy when used in a 2006 Aussie tourism campaign; so who knows what 1980 audiences made of this promo's exhortation to "Come on to New Zealand." But as the narration assures: "It's a safe country. You can walk without being molested." Aimed at the US market, the film was made as long haul air travel was opening up NZ as a destination. Māori culture, sheep and pretty scenery are highlighted, alongside skinny dipping and weaving (!). Narrated by Bob Parker, the NFU promo marked an early gig for editor Annie Collins.
Though Pamela Meekings-Stewart's work as a producer and director ranges widely, she has often been drawn to documentaries involving women and the arts. Her Feltex award-winning series Pioneer Women dramatised the lives of six women, from Princess Te Puea to Ettie Rout. These days she runs retreats from her farm in Pukerua Bay. Meekings-Stewart is sometimes credited as Pamela Jones.
Kiwi-Samoan Robbie Magasiva was performing in a primary school talent quest when he fell in love with acting. At age 16 he made his first screen appearance, playing a police cadet in a TV commercial. Since then Magasiva has honed his skills in television (Aussie series Wentworth, Shortland Street, The Semisis), film (Stickmen and Sione's Wedding) and stage (comedy group The Naked Samoans).

From Jewish Week-
It was moving to see one of the world's most important Christian leaders stand at Yad Vashem earlier this month, declaring that anti-Semitism should become so alien that it would be "something that is only found mysteriously in old history books." And it wasn't only what Justin Welby, leader of the world's third-largest Christian grouping said that made the sight so moving — but who he said it with.
Welby is Archbishop of Canterbury, meaning that he leads the world's 80 million Anglicans, and as he spoke about anti-Semitism in Jerusalem, his travel companion stood behind him, and then picked up where he left off. Archbishop Welby had told Commonwealth Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis that he would be visiting Israel, and realizing that the rabbi has been living in Jerusalem for a two-year stint and knows the city well, invited him to join the trip.
And so, a personal and professional bond set the stage for an interfaith trip that pushed far beyond the clichés that can sometimes limit such get-togethers. It was a visit that saw the archbishop take a hard look at his own society in England and say that "a fresh sense of anti-Semitism" there "must go so deeply into the root of our culture." Having earlier called anti-Semitism the "root of all racism" in European culture, Archbishop Welby declared: "Until that is expelled from our culture, there will be a taproot for all racism, all discrimination, all cruelty because of the nature of the human being in our culture."

Google has, for the first time ever, introduced two Nexus smartphones in September last year. The company has unleashed the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P alongside the new version of Android, 6.0 Marshmallow. These two phones have been around for quite some time now, and Google has actually rolled out the developer preview of the upcoming Android N OS, and if you're interested, you can either flash the developer preview variant of Android N on your Nexus 5X / 6P handset, or you can join Google's beta program and get the update OTA.
We're not here to talk about Android N though, we've covered this launch extensively on the site, and I'm sure more content will be coming soon. That being said, a new update (MHC19I) has started rolling out to the Nexus 6P. The Nexus 6P actually follows Nexus 5X's lead, considering the LG-made Nexus received the update quite recently as well. Looking at the changelog, these two updates are more or less the same, but coded for different devices, of course. According to the info provided by a Googler on Reddit, this update brings better device performance, do not disturb (DND) next alarm disappearing issue, and a number of carrier-specific bug fixes. On top of all that, Google has improved connectivity in general on the handset, which essentially means they've added yet another layer of polish here. Now, this update is also expected to come with March security patches, even though that part was not mentioned in the changelog.
The Nexus 6P is Google's flagship phablet. This handset is made out of metal, and it features a 5.7-inch QHD AMOLED display, along with 3GB of RAM and a number of internal storage variants. The device is fueled by the Snapdragon 810 64-bit octa-core SoC, and packs in a 3,450mAh non-removable battery. The 12.3-megapixel snapper is located on the back of this phone, and is considered to be one of the best smartphone cameras at the moment. That's pretty much it, if you're interested in getting the Nexus 6P 'MHC19I' update, you can either wait for it to come your way on its own (OTA), or you can head over to Google's Dev site, download it, and manually flash it.

It's no secret that food security and hunger is not something that only happens to people in far away places, it's difficult for folks right here in Dane County to get enough to eat and stay healthy. In 2013, the Dane County Food Council predicted that the food insecurity rate was 11.2% for all persons, and 15.5% for children. Their Annual Report also revealed that 14.4% of the county population participated in FoodShare last year (up from 11.4% in 2012). Put into our Co-op's perspective: we reported in our June Reader that our 31,100+ active Owners make up approximately 6% of the county's population. That means that countywide just about double the number of people that comprise our Ownership go to bed hungry. Poverty and food insecurity has no bounds, it affects employed and unemployed people of all ages, races, genders, and families of all sizes in the city, the suburbs, and rural communities alike. It's fair to assume that some of those going hungry may be our own families, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and classmates.
There are many organizations and food pantries in the community already doing their part to reduce food insecurity and poverty in Dane County, and our Co-op continues to participate and investigate new ways to be part of the effort to get our neighbors the nutritious food that they need to feel good and lead sustainable, healthy lives. The United Way of Dane County's Healthy Food For All Children Plan was completed in 2013. In their planning stages, they found that public benefits and access to food pantries were two important ways to gain access to healthy food. Our Co-op already accepts FoodShare and partners with a variety of food pantries in Dane County via funding and food donations. That's good news, but why stop there? With Cooperative Principle #7: Concern For the Community as a driving force in what we do, we believe we can surely do more.
Access Discount Review: You Can Help
Our Access Discount program provides current and new Owners that can verify their use of public benefits a 10% discount on the majority of purchases. Current qualifying public benefits for enrollment in Access include FoodShare (EBT); Medicaid (BadgerCare or SeniorCare); the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children/Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (WIC); Section 8 Housing Assistance (HUD); Free and Reduced School Meal Program; Child and Adult Food Care Program; and Social Security Disability Insurance/Supplemental Security Income. In our Fiscal Year 2014, 1131 Owners were enrolled in the Access Discount Program, or about 3.6% of our31,097 active Owners for the year.
Our Access Discount Program was last revised, reviewed, and implemented in FY12. One of the positives of the program's revamp was that it created a discount program based purely on need while offering distinct definitions of eligibility and a clear pathway to enroll and renew enrollment. It's now FY15. Three years later, we wonder: are we still providing a good value to many and making everyone in our community feel like they can both shop and join here? Does the Co-op have a service gap when we notice a 11.2% food insecurity rate county wide, and only 3.6% enrollment in our Access Discount Program? For these reasons, we've concluded that in order to make sure we are serving our Owners and our community sufficiently, regular review and maintenance of the Access Discount Program is necessary. Public benefits change year to year when state and federal budgets are established. The needs of our community and the demographics of the people who need help the most also change. It's time to create enrollment goals and establish partnerships to develop this program that reflect our community's overall food security. We need your help to make it happen.
Pantries of Plenty Community Fund Drive
For years Co-op Owners have been generously dropping off food on our pantry shelves from their homes and their shopping carts for food pantries at the Goodman Community Center, the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center, the Lussier Community Education Center, and Middleton Outreach Ministry. Each month, our Owners generate about 100 pounds of food per pantry. Last year, Willy East piloted a holiday cash donation program with the Goodman Community Center, and Owners scanned cards worth either $5 or $10 for Goodman to purchase non-perishable groceries and other holiday staples for families in need to prepare holiday meals at home. The short program generated about $1600 for the pantry, which was able to use a gift card in that amount to pre-order cases of product that they really needed.
This year, we've extended the pilot into our new Pantries of Plenty (POP) Community Fund Drive. Now, Co-op Owners have the option to purchase $5, $10, or $25 POP Cards between November 1st and December 31st for all four of the food pantries our Owners donate food to on a monthly basis. POP Cards will be available to either make a simple donation or to make a donation as a gift in honor of someone else. At the end of the POP Community Fund Drive, we will divide monies raised amongst all four pantries via a Co-op gift card so that they can use the money for pantry needs beyond our standard non-perishable donations.
POP Cards will be available at the registers, and at the Owner Resources Areas at our stores. Consider giving the gift of good food to those in our community who need it most this holiday season.
Hunger is a Complex Community Issue
According to the University of Wisconsin-Extension's Poverty and Food Insecurity in Wisconsin and Dane County report from 2011, "Food secure households have enough food at all times for an active and healthy life. In contrast, households with low food security report running out of food without having money to buy more, cutting back the size of meals due to lack of money or having to skip meals altogether. These are complex problems without easy solutions, but communities can make a difference." You are already making a difference whenever you put some of your groceries on our donation shelves, andyou are already making a difference by investing in our Co-op, which allows us to be a full service grocery that accepts FoodShare and supports community food security efforts via the Access Discount Program, many donations and sponsorships, and the Community Reinvestment Fund. Thank you for your continued contributions. As we reflect both as individuals and a Co-op this holiday season on how we can better help feed our community, let us never be satisfied, but rather continue to look forward. We can always do more.

If you haven't seen WICKED at the Pantages in Hollywood, you're running out of time. The musical about the untold story of the Wicked Witch of the West (who, it turns out, might not have been so wicked after all) will be leaving the Pantages at the end of the year.
I highly reccomend you see it. Even if you don't want to. Why? because EVERYONE has seen it, and that way you can either be like, "OMG! I saw it too! I can't wait for the movie!" or you can be like, "I saw it. I don't know what the big deal was. It's not even that good."
I tend to fall in the middle of either opinion. I traveled to London to see Idina Menzel play the part she originated on Broadway, but when I go to see Idina Menzel concerts and hear people singing 'No Good Deed' or texting the lyrics to 'The Wizard and I' the big chyron up front, I want to commit mass murder.
But it IS the Halloween season, and what better way to celebrate than getting some of your Wicked on?
And here's another reason. If you go on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday to see the event before October 31st, you can buy your seat for up to 40% off.
Use code FALL12 when you CLICK HERE TO ORDER ONLINE or call 213-365-3500 to buy the tickets.
Don't tell them I sent you. They won't know who the hell I am.
I'd like it to stay that way.

Lessons I Learned From Ruth While Waiting For My Boaz8:18 PM
So here's the thing about Ruth and why she's a big deal---at least for single women. She's the perfect inspiration for those who are:
- feeling inadequate
- feeling flawed
- scrutinized and marginalized by the cruel society
- feeling that they've ran out of luck when it comes to finding "The One"
- tired of doing good and not seeing any good happen to them
Ruth is not your ideal woman.
People looked down on Ruth because:
(1) She was a Moabite. Moabites were descendants of Lot from an incestuous relationship with his oldest daughter.
(2) She's a woman, and women during her time were considered property whose value is only a little higher than cows in their society.
(3) She's a widow. Again, something people in the past look down on.
You can say she's part of the marginalized.
Despite her personal obstacles and the labels people give her, she remained faithful to her mother-in-law Naomi and did what she could to help her.
Brushing aside the whispers about her, she went out to glean the barley fields of her late husband's kin, Boaz.
That's a quick summary so you may want to read her story to know more.
But here's what I got from Ruth.
Lessons I Learned From Ruth While Waiting For My Boaz
1. Ruth's priority was on a life of service.Ruth didn't wait for someone to redeem her after her husband died leaving her with no children. She went out there. She knew her priorities.
Don't wait for other people—especially for men to validate your existence.
2. Loyalty and selflessness are always rewarded.She cared for Naomi and never left her side which eventually led her to her future husband Boaz.
3. Be confident with who you are.
Ruth never let rumors and gossip stop her from going out there and getting what she needed. She ignored the naysayers. She knew she was being judged because she didn't fit in the society's standards. She had more important things to think about; she had no time for petty things and petty people.
4. Be diligent, persevering, and determined.Ruth worked harder than others, which Boaz noticed.
Your work ethics, virtues and hard work will speak for itself. Though some people don't appreciate your effort and your goodness, someone will---someone who matters.
5. Be a woman of character.
Boaz told Ruth: "All my fellow townsmen know that you are a worthy woman."
What can be more flattering than that?
You can't control your reputation, because everyone's entitled to their own opinion. But remember: not everybody matters.
You can't control other people's impression of you. Don't even waste your time trying. However, you do have full and total control of your own character.
Be someone your Boaz can be proud of. Be someone you yourself, your children and your children's children can be proud of.
Carry yourself with dignity.
6. Stop chasing people.Don't be desperate. Boaz praised Ruth's loyalty saying, "You have not gone after a younger man, whether rich or poor."
Never run after a bus, train or man. When one leaves, another arrives.
7. Follow the advice of the wise.
Ruth knew she could trust Naomi so she followed her advice. Which turned out to be an effective one because Boaz married her after that.
Ruth may not be every guy's fantasy girl, but she's every man's ideal wife, judging by her character.
People might have treated her like trash, but her character shined so brightly that a man of integrity like Boaz saw what a gem she was.Don't just sit and wait around for your Boaz. Ruth never did.
She lived a life of service and the Lord rewarded her.
For God is faithful, and His timing is perfect.Be like Ruth while waiting for your Boaz. Work while you wait and wait in faith.

Winter is approaching and time will be spent more in the indoor studio than outdoors. It is the perfect time to do still life and interior sketches-and paintings. Neither still life nor interior painting is my strong suit, so my project and goal for this coming winter is including these genres in my everyday painting.
The first little still life I did, wasn't too bad, even though my strokes were all over the place. But from there on it was downhill all the way, until just suddenly things changed for the better. I started having so muchfun, that I can't understand why I haven't done it sooner.

I only realized this morning that February has almost had it. I am still going strong with my little food studies and by now it has become a habit to do a little food study or even 2 a day. It is all still about the brushstroke. The best ones will be put up on my website, Ronelle's art for sale after February and I will continue doing these studies…great exercise.

These little studies !i do for February are really testing me. Sometimes I finish a canvas, stand back, look at it and it horrifies me! I then put it way back in the darkand when I come back to it a day or so later, I find it not so bad after all.The painting fairy passed by and touched it with her magic wand.

I am a little under the weather since last Friday and feel tired, mentally and physically. The gooseberries were a bigger challenge than usual and if the Painting fairy hadn't stopped by and woven her wand over it, you might not have seen it.
..five goosebrries..

Our weather has suddenly changed from grey and rainy days into explosions of sunshine. Of course it makes me want to go into the fields for plein air painting. But I am restraining myself and keeping to my goal and project for February. Fruit and vegetable practicing in oils. I have had quite a few bloopers, but then there was/is also the successes, however small they may be. And of course, the process. Always the process. I love pushing oils around on the canvas and as it turns out, I even enjoy doing it in still lifes. I love the liveliness of a brush stoke, the vibrancy of contrasting colour, the depth of values, the brilliance of the oils. I love it all.

Matric significantly improved Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production with the investment of a third fully-automated line. It was just a year ago that Matric had invested in the second fully-automatic SMT line. The two newer lines each feature an EKRA X5 screen printer, a MYDATA 21,000 component per hour pick and place machine and an Electrovert Omni Excel 7-stage convection oven. The three machines are joined by a conveyor designed to transport the boards from machine to machine – eliminating the need for human handling.
The original SMT line was installed at Matric in 2000. In recent years, the screen printer and oven have both been replaced with new and improved equipment to meet current SMT demands. All three lines are able to produce RoHS compliant boards.
Meeting customers' needs was the driving force for the third line investment. Matric is dedicated to growing and improving the operations to meet customer demands. Other recent investments include a 20,000 sq. ft. addition, bringing the total plant size to 75,000 sq. ft. The number of associates working at Matric has also seen a dramatic increase from 223 at the beginning of 2006 to 305 today. In an effort to keep pace with the rapid growth, a streamlined in-house workforce training development program was also developed and implemented in early 2006.

When prescribing medicines to you, we are committed to quality and cost effectiveness. We will try to optimise your individual treatment, balancing this against the need to spread fairly the NHS cash limited resources. We operate a 28-day dispensing policy in accordance with national guidelines.
You can help us to help you by being careful to take your medication as directed and by reading any patient advice leaflet that is often enclosed with your medicine and reporting back any side-effects as necessary.
If you require repeat medication, please use your repeat prescription slip, which can be left in the repeat box by reception, posted or faxed to the surgery or order through Patient Access or the NHS app. You can also order your repeat prescription via our website. Telephone requests for repeat prescriptions are not accepted. If you require your prescription to be posted, please include a stamped addressed envelope. Please order repeat prescriptions 7 days before you run out.
Electronic Prescribing
We are now using Electronic Prescribing in the practice. More information on this service can be accessed through the website below:

Patient Sharps Boxes
Please note that with immediate effect we are unable to accept sharps boxes from patients for hazardous waste disposal. You should contact East Northamptonshire Council (Tel: 01832 742026 or E mail: firstname.lastname@example.com) to arrange collection.
Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs). The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
From 1 April 2019, the charges are:
If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC. The charge for a single prescription item is £9.00, whereas a three month PPC will cost you £29.10 and a 12 month PPC £104.00.
There is further information about prescription exemptions and fees on the NHS website
Please allow 7 working days, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.
Changes to prescriptions for minor health conditions
Following an extensive public consultation exercise by NHS England, medicines which are available to buy in a pharmacy or supermarket (over-the-counter) will no longer be routinely prescribed for minor illnesses.
You can buy over-the-counter medicines (OTC) for any of these conditions:
For information on how these conditions are treated, look up your condition here.
Why is it changing?
The NHS has been spending around £136 million a year on prescriptions for medicines that can be bought over-the-counter, such as paracetamol and medicines to treat hay fever. By reducing the amount it spends on OTC medicines, the NHS can give priority to treatments for people with more serious conditions, such as cancer, diabetes and mental health problems.
How your local pharmacy team can help you?
Pharmacists can give clinical advice and help you choose the most appropriate treatment. If your symptoms suggest it's more serious, they'll ensure you get the care you need.
What if my symptoms don't improve?
Your local pharmacy team can tell you how long to expect the symptoms of your condition to last. If they haven't improved after this time or you start to feel a lot worse, you should:

Phillips Not Content With Targeting Kids, Tries Protest At Church
Apparently, Nathan Phillips and his band of Native American protestors like to target people who will turn the other cheek, and conducted an 'upsetting' protest at a D.C. church.
Nathan Phillips, who is NOT a Vietnam veteran, and a group of Native American protestors tried to storm a Catholic church in Washington D.C. and disrupt worship services.
Saturday night, while banging their drums and chanting, they tried to enter evening Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
Many people are disgusted by the incident and wonder why it has become acceptable to interrupt a house of worship as a political stunt.
Phillips garnered national attention when the mainstream media made him a 'victim' of a group of Covington Catholic High School students who were waiting for their bus.
When the real footage of the incident was released, it showed the fake news for what it was, a group of grown men ambushing teenagers. However, that didn't stop the death threats, violence, and other hate spewed by unhinged leftists throughout the country.
A security guard at told the Catholic News Agency that the protest was "really upsetting," and "there were about twenty people trying to get in, we had to lock the doors and everything."
"We had hundreds and hundreds of people from all over the country come here to celebrate life," the guard continued, "It's a house of worship, a place of prayer where people come to celebrate. All this anger is so against what we are all about here."
Such actions have prompted others to speculate that apparently this group, led by Phillips, is only interested in targeting people who he thinks he can bully.
The security guard added that the "protest" attempting to enter the church during its Mass was "really the worst."
Phillips has also claimed that he is a Vietnam veteran, but yesterday, it was discovered that Phillips had never been deployed to Vietnam and that he had been discharged three times, causing the Washington Post to correct its story regarding Phillips' military record.
Chanting and playing ceremonial drums, a group of Native American rights activists reportedly led by Nathan Phillips attempted Jan. 19 to enter Washington, D.C.'s Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception during a Saturday evening Mass: https://t.co/L0eKOGPCKO pic.twitter.com/VwQw0b3ech
— Ignatius Insight (@ignatiusinsight) January 23, 2019
The guard stated, "I'm just really grateful that nothing too bad happened, they were really angry."
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported that about 60 people gathered outside the shrine in support of Phillips, but it failed to report that Phillips and some supporters attempted to disrupt the evening Mass, and other reports confirm only about 20 protestors were involved.
"Video footage showed one supporter saying that the group had gathered at the shrine to listen to Phillips, and to hold the Catholic Church 'accountable' for the alleged actions of the Covington Catholic students and for the 'colonial violence that the Catholic Church reproduces every day.'"
He told CNA that he'd never witnessed anything like it during his time of employment, adding "And this all happened on our biggest event of the year. I hope we never see it again."
