The great written constitutions, from which the idea of constitutional reform unavoidably borrows some of its aura, have set out to redefine the fundamental relationships of citizens, society and government as these were perceived at the time of their writing. The American Declaration of Independence asserted the rights of people to a government of their own choosing, against the status of a colony. The French Declaration of the Rights of Man proclaimed the rights of individuals and nation, against the claims of rank and dynastic rule. These constitutions defined themselves against the most oppressive features of their anciens régimes, as those were then perceived.
In the twentieth century, constitution-makers have often had to reassert these liberal positions as they have instituted democratic states, for example in Germany in both 1918 and 1945, in India in 1947, or where the un Declaration of Human Rights of 1947 tried to set out universal terms of citizenship.footnote1 These later constitution-makers have had in mind a broader conception of rights than their liberal predecessors. The Weimar Constitution of 1918 referred to 'the right to work' and said that 'every German was to be given his chance to earn his livelihood through work in the national economy.' The Directive Principles of State Policy of the Indian Constitution (non-enforceable, however, in the courts) set out broad and ambitious social objectives. For example (Article 39): 'in particular the State shall strive to secure (a) an adequate means of livelihood for all citizens; (b) the ownership and control of the community resources so distributed as to serve the common good; (c) the avoidance of a detrimental concentration of wealth and the means of production; (d) equal pay for equal work of both sexes.' (These principles also required the state 'in particular, to promote cottage industries'.) The un's Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 was even more inclusive, being directed at all mankind, and ambitious in its definitions, which encompassed freedom from arbitrary treatment, national self-determination, rights of men and women in and out of families, and rights to just and favourable conditions of work, and to
These declarations pointed to the gaps between recent conditions—of fascism, colonial rule, mass unemployment and a just social order— and attempted to define what the foundations of a just social order, in the light of contemporary understanding, would be. If Britain had been fortunate enough to have had its constitutional debate in 1945 rather than 1991, who can doubt that these broader issues, and the problems posed by Beveridge's 'Five Giants' of Want, Disease, Ignorance, Squalor and Idleness', would then have been central to our debates?
The fact is that these dimensions are largely absent from our current British constitutional debate, including that part of it in which Charter 88 has the largest say. The Charter is concerned with the inheritance of arbitrary executive powers (the royal prerogative, but not the monarchy), the oppression of the individual citizen, and the unrepresentativeness of government and its powers to manipulate the electoral system to its own advantage. These, of course, are important issues, making a strong claim on public support both in 1988 and now. But one needs to ask why it is that only these issues have been singled out for constitutional attention, to the exclusion of others. On what diagnosis of the central problems of our society (the equivalent of the problems defined by past constitution-makers) do these prescriptions depend? Is this definition of the situation correct, or sufficient?
It seems that the diagnosis on which Charter 88 was founded was essentially that of the state of affairs defined as 'Thatcherism' and its actual and exemplary abuses of power. The kinds of problems which the proposals of Charter 88 could resolve are the abuses of individual citizens by government, the trampling of intermediate institutions (for example, local government) by the central state, and the abuse of an electoral system by a single party with a majority in parliament but a minority of the popular vote. These were and are major problems, of course. But they are problems to which a solution may to some extent

It is with a heavy heart that I bring you the sad news of the death of self-described holistic doctor, author, speaker, radio show host, James Winer, of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania (just minutes from where I used to live).
He was not just a legend in Pennsylvania, but far beyond, and known throughout the world as his friend says below in the video. I've had patients write me from college age to the elderly (maybe more than any other death). He was loved by all.
Initially, Dr James Winer's office staff would not say publicly how or where he died, at least not that we could see. They stated they didn't want people calling the office asking questions, and, understandably, they'd update folks later.
But then our story came out 11 hours after their announcement (I wanted to give some time) and other sites followed suit.

We are not worshipping together in our churches for the time being, out of an abundance of caution and care for each person. However, we are still the Church and we are all still here! We are taking advantage of our many blessings and the most current technology to link us virtually while we are apart physically. The electronic link reminds us that we always are connected by the Holy Spirit to one another and to God eternally.
We began our online worship on March 22, identifying both successes and things that needed to be tweaked. A grand success was that we worshipped God together using our wonderful Morning Prayer liturgy, and experienced the blessing of being connected to one another! A learning is that we will limit audio sharing to those who are broadcasting, and ask all but the Officiant to turn off their cameras.
Beginning on March 29, we will expand the Sunday Morning Prayer worship we've begun with music as well as readers from both St. John's in New City and St. Paul's in Chester. We will alternate each week the church that is providing the readers and intercessor.
Please join us Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. by either computer or phone with the information below. For technical assistance or sharing an idea, please contact Mother Tori at: firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com .

Explore Renaissance cultural capitals, it wasn't just Florence!
This exquisite 9-hour tour with private driver and private guided tours departs from Venice's Piazzale Roma at 9:00 or 9:30 am.
The first stop is Ferrara, a city that harmoniously blends the atmosphere of the past with the dynamism of today. Whilst basking in the wonders of this UNESCO World Cultural Heritage location, the guide will reveal an exemplary Renaissance town that has remained virtually untouched throughout the centuries. One of Ferrara's most impressive edifices is the 14th-century Castello Estense, surrounded by a moat and guarded over by four towers.
Time is also dedicated to the ancient city of Ravenna, rich in history and culture and abounding in artworks. Once the capital of the Western Roman Empire, it later served as the capital of the Ostrogothic Kingdom and ultimately the Kingdom of the Lombards. Guests can admire the plethora of mosaic art that bedazzles the city and reflects the Roman and Byzantine influences intermingled with realism and symbolism, such as those adorning the beauteous basilicas and baptisteries. There are also 8 momentous edifices on UNESCO's World Heritage List, peppered throughout what is today a wonderous and charming town.
The group may then visit the 1500-year-old Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe, an exemplary Byzantine monument reflective of early-Christian times owing to the simple design and utilization of space embellished by sumptuous decorations. Alongside is an extensive archeological area once inhabited by the Roman fleet.
To complete this excursion is a visit to the Romanesque-era Abbey of Pomposa. Initially built in the late-800s, it was then extended several centuries later. The interior's simplicity presented the perfect canvas for Iacopo da Bologna who spent the 1350s adorning the walls with marvelous frescoes, uniting medieval and Byzantine influences.
The grandeur of the Estense Court is on full display in Ferrara, forging a grand Renaissance atmosphere from the peak of their rule. Due to the historical heart of Ferrara remaining virtually unchanged, UNESCO awarded World Cultural Heritage status to the town in 1995. Ferrara's layout had a profound influence on the progression of the area throughout the following centuries, with the imposing square-shaped Castello Estense at its heart, having been built around 1385 and partially restored in 1554.
- This exemplary itinerary may be adapted to suit the group's travel date and opening hours of the locations visited.
- A full-day excursion with a private driver plus 4/5 hours of private tours with a licensed guide to explore the historic towns visited.
- Add a one-way private boat ride to Piazzale Roma from your hotel in Venice for an additional cost.
- Visit 2 historic towns of the utmost historic importance plus two impressive places of worship in the surrounding countryside.

Episcopal Relief & Development is working with the humanitarian arm of the Episcopal Church of Liberia (ECL- RD) to support agricultural and economic rehabilitation in areas heavily impacted by the Ebola crisis. Demonstration farms offer local farming groups access to land, seeds, tools and training to produce cash crops for income and vegetables to nourish their families. By increasing their harvests and creating products with greater shelf life and sale value, the groups can invest in farming and processing equipment and other community development initiatives.
In 2019, the ECL-RD program aims to increase the success and wellbeing of farmers through the establishment of 11 new farmer-managed learning centers in 20 communities. Savings groups further support the economic empowerment of communities and create opportunities for discussion and action on violence against women and the social and economic reintegration of Ebola survivors and their families.
Episcopal Relief & Development is also working through ECL-RD and its networks to engage faith leaders in addressing and preventing violence against women in Liberia. This program, which is supported by the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women, and by Islamic Relief USA, encourages and trains faith leaders such as pastors and imams to speak out against violence and to change cultural norms in their communities. Similarly, youth leaders of Christian and Muslim youth groups and school leaders are equipped to speak out against violence towards women and girls. Direct care and shelter for survivors of violence will also be provided, and advocacy for their rights and access to services are promoted throughout local communities through this program. You may view examples of Episcopal Relief & Developments' work in the UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women 2018 Annual Report.
Our work with Women focuses on helping communities promote the rights of women and children and move toward the vision that everyone deserves a life free from violence in a society where they are treated with dignity and respect. Only then can communities truly heal and thrive.
Our work with Children supports and protects kids under six so they reach appropriate health
and developmental milestones. This focus on early development is foundational and critical to
helping children achieve their full potential as future contributing members of their communities.

Gender equality, women's empowerment and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response are cross-cutting themes that shape and inform all of Episcopal Relief & Development's integrated programs worldwide. In order to sustainably and equitably address hunger, poverty, disease and post-disaster relief and recovery, local attitudes and customs around gender, power and gender-based violence must also be taken into account.Read more about Gender Equality & GBV

CSR in education: What are India's top companies up to?
Since independence, the education sector in India has grown in leaps and bounds and there have been significant improvements across different indicators. In order to understand the current CSR trends in education and the main challenges in the sector, Samhita Social Ventures has mapped the education interventions of 100 companies with the highest CSR budgets in India. The findings indicate that education remains one of the most popular causes for companies. School infrastructure and scholarships receive maximum support whereas issues such as pedagogy, early education, community awareness etc. remain unexplored. However, there is a silver lining – companies are beginning to think more strategically about interventions in education.

text: All the Single Ladies 7/12/2013 Comments in DC by Claudia Swain Around the turn of the century, Washington, D.C. had a distinct lack of single men. In any era before, the women of the city might have resigned themselves to the life of the scorned "old maid" in a corset and lived a boring existence with their parents until before finally dying. But not these ladies. No, starting in the late 1890s, many women in the capital city began to push for a more open society, pursuing higher education, living alone, and managing their own affairs. This was the dawn of the Bachelor Girl age.Bachelor girls were a point of controversy in the Washington press. Some columnists were shocked and appalled with these independent ladies' leaps into the future.

I had been on the fence about the Earring of the Month shipments for some time. Several stories, as well as the fact that I had extra funds in my personal money, pushed me over the edge. I signed up for the 6 month subscription which drops the price per month slightly. I signed up in time to get my earrings for March.
At first I thought they would not be my style since I rarely wear such large earrings. I tried them on and fell in love. They are lightweight and super cute. These earrings are Mafie earrings from 2nd Story Goods. If you order directly from 2nd Story Goods, you have your choice of three colors.
I loved getting a pair of surprise earrings from Fair Trade Friday. Are you worried that a pair of earrings might not be your style? No problem. Each pair of earrings comes with a lovely bag and a card for gift giving.
If earrings are not your style, you can sign up for the Bracelet of the Month subscription. With any of the Fair Trade Friday subscriptions, your purchase supports women artisans around the world. You will also be introduced to wonderful fair trade companies that you can buy from directly.

We love the Honest Trailers, but we especially love this one for Frozen, which gets to the cold, icy heart of the matter. So watch it now, before they let it go off of the Internet. (HAHAHAHA I SHOULD BE
There are definitely a lot of spoilers in this, so please don't watch it if you haven't seen it yet. This is one of the more clever "Honest Trailers," but for me, nothing beats the sheer insanity of this one.

A model of the fracture of double network gels
Publication Details
Brown, H. R. (2007). A model of the fracture of double network gels. Macromolecules, 40 (10), 3815-3818.
I propose a very simple model accounting for the very high toughness of double network gels based on the assumption that the first, stiff network will break up froming mulitple cracks when the stress is above a defined value. These cracks are held together by the second network. A multiply cracked damage zone will form around any macroscopic crack in the material, causing energy dissipation and shielding the second network. The toughness enhancement by this process is estimated to be about x40. The effect of cross-linking of the second network is discussed and explained.

Test Case Runs and Bugs Relations
The newly introduced test case run and bug relation feature adds the ability to create bugs related to a test case that is currently being executed. As a result, you can track how many issues have been found during the execution of the whole test plan run.
To add a bug related to a test case run, simply click the Create Bug button on a test case run view, give the bug a name and click the Add or Add & Open button.
A new bug will be created and linked to the current test case run automatically.
All the bugs related to a test case run are shown on the bugs tab of a test case run view.
Here you can see and update bugs details such as business value, severity and also assign bugs to people so they can be fixed.
If you've found a bug which already exists in the system, you can simply link it to the current test case run using the lookup window. This way bugs are not duplicated and we can specify how many test case runs a bug has affected.
The ability to link existing bugs provides a great way to track how many rounds of testing a bug was not fixed, as you can simply link the same bugs to different executions of the same test case or a test plan.
In case a bug has been created by mistake or it should not be linked to a test case run, it can be unlinked. Right click to open the context menu and unlink it from the test case run.
With the Open/Total Bugs unit added to the test plan/case list it's quite easy to get an idea on how many bugs have been found and how many still need to be fixed during the current test plan run execution.
The same unit can be added to test plan run cards on a board, list and timeline view modes.
QA Area: Unlink a Test Plan from a parent Test Plans
To see how many test plans the current test plan is included to, we've recently introduced the Test Plans tab on a test plan view. It's useful to look at this tab when you plan to update the current test plan to know how many test plans will be affected by your changes.
In this release we've added the possibility to quickly unlink the current test plan from its parent test plans. Simply right click on a parent test plan and select unlink.
List: Counters showing the number of entities at the very last inner lever
The counters in lists now show the number of entities at the last inner level instead of showing the number of entities on the next level. As an example, this allows you to see how many bugs and user stories are in every state, even if they are grouped by project or any other property.
Fixed Bugs
#93913 QA Area: Fixed Test Plan Run card customization mode
#86816 QA Area: Fixed an error " Oops... Something's wrong" thrown in Test Step editor
#93094 QA Area: Fixed "Data layer exception occurred" when deleting Test Case in TP2

How to do Pay Per Call Marketing – Part 1
Pay Per Call Marketing is now several years old and has had exponential growth in the USA, Canada and the United Kingdom. If you want to learn how to do pay per call marketing you first need to read these 10 quick facts about smartphones – the gateway to Pay Per Call:
1. Nearly two thirds of Americans own smartphones (Pew)
2. 46% of smartphone owners "couldn't live without" their smartphone (Pew)
3. 36% of smartphone owners would choose their phone over their TV (Google)
4. 87% of millennials say their smartphone never leaves their side (Zogby)
5. 80% of millennials say their smartphone is the first thing they reach for when they wake up (Zogby)
6. 78% of millennials use their smartphones more than two hours every day (Zogby)
7. 51% of cell phone users 55 and older own smartphones (Nielsen)
8. 64% of smartphone owners use their phone to look up health information (Pew)
9. 94% of smartphone owners look for local information (Google)
10. More smartphone owners use their phone for watching videos than playing music (Pew)
These percentages are growing daily so I'll most likely have to update this post within the year!
94% of smartphone users actively searching for local information – Wow!
As an online marketer I see this as a huge opportunity to try and capture and monetize all that traffic.
Pay Per Call Marketing
Pay Per Call Marketing is still in its infancy so we are at the beginning of a huge wave and if you're not already doing Pay Per Call Marketing then take a look at these stats:
In this series of blog posts, I'm going to show you how to do pay per call marketing from the beginning. These 5 steps will be covered in as much detail as needed:
1. Choosing a Pay Per Call Network
2. Demographic Research
3. Marketing Tools
4. Keyword Research
5. Google Campaign Creation
Choosing a Pay Per Call Network
Before you choose a network you want to ensure that they have been in business for a while and have a good reputation. I personally work with several networks and recommend that you only start with one until you get your feet wet. Here is a list of the ones I recommend:
In this introductory blog post, I want you to think of demographics as your "targeted audience." Consequently, these are the people you are trying to convince to take action on your ads and choosing your demographics is the most important first step to consider when starting a campaign.
Knowing and understanding your audience prior to launching any type of paid traffic is essential to being a successful internet marketer. You can't just blindly run ads expecting great results! Too many people make this mistake and end up getting frustrated with online marketing and quitting.
Or in the case of one my students who continues to plow through his mistakes hoping that one day he would make enough of them to find success. This is not the route you need to take so from this day forward make yourself a promise and follow Smart Advertising practices from the onset of your online marketing career.
Online marketers need great tools to accomplish great things. It's easier to dig a hole with a shovel versus with your hands but it's even easier when you're using a tractor. However, your hole digging may need to be precise so prior to digging find the exact tool you will need to accomplish your task.
In order to find the exact demographics of my target audience, I'm going to introduce you to one tool that I use on a daily basis and will help you learn how to do pay per call marketing. This is not the only tool I use to narrow down my demographics but it is a good starting point if you're just getting started with online marketing.
In the following video I show how I use http://zipatlas.com to narrow down my targeting to certain zip codes for a Pay Per Call Plumbers offer:

Smart methods will protect Thessaloniki's Cedar Hill forest from fires

Two new methods to fight wildfires in the city's peri-urban forest of Cedar Hill soon will be implemented. They include three radar dishes, which will serve as an early warning system in case fire breaks out in the forest, and the planting of slow-burning vegetation, which will prevent flames from spreading rapidly. The radar dishes will be set up in different locations within the forest and will alert firefighters of new fires within two minutes.
The firefighting system will be commissioned by the Central Macedonia Region authority, using either EU funds or its own resources. The main benefit of the new plan will be that the radar can pinpoint the exact location where a wildfire starts, which will allow the fire brigade to intervene quickly to prevent it from spreading. The new plans also include the adding of slow-burning vegetation such as oleander, acacia and rosemary, all of which will be planted along the roadsides which wind through the forest.
Cedar Hill is a hilltop forest, north and northeast of the city of Thessaloniki, and to the west of Mount Chortiatis. A large part of the forest was destroyed in a massive fire in August 1997, but the area is now covered in green again as a result of several successful reforestation efforts.

Stade Saturdays confirmed for 7th year
Hastings Borough Council has confirmed that it plans to continue the Stade Saturdays programme of free music and performance in 2018, for a seventh successive year. The weekly events on the Stade Open Space run from June to October and are a valued part of the town's cultural calendar.
In 2017 over 11,000 people attended Stade Saturday events, with an increasing proportion of families and under 35s in the audience. Highlights included Liane Carroll's opening concert for the Hastings Jazz and Blues Festival, ÓcabrazÓka's Brazilian celebration of food, music, drumming and dance, the LaDinamo funky bike band who visited from Barcelona, and Le Cirque du Platzak with their unusual combination of lawnmowers, lettuces, staplers and rough folk music.
This year all the musical concerts were by Hastings-based artists, reflecting the excellent quality of music in the borough. Vocalist and composer Gwyneth Herbert and folk rock band Skinny Lister both braved particularly English weather to produce sets as fine as anything ever seen on the Stade.
Partnership working increased in 2017, with partners including Active Hastings' 1066 Cycling Festival, Coastal Currents, Journeys Dance Festival and the Lantern Society. And once again the council's membership of the Coasters Touring Network augmented the programme, providing 50% of the funding for five performances of quality street arts, which were among the most popular and well-attended of the summer. Coasters is supported by Arts Council England.
"We are delighted to be able to provide this programme of wonderful varied events again in 2018," said Cllr Kim Forward, lead member for culture. "These free outdoor performances and concerts are much loved by residents and visitors alike, helping bring our community together and our seafront alive."
Next summer's programme will be confirmed in spring 2018.

Two in-form teams meet in this weekend's Super Sunday fixture as Newcastle host Tottenham hoping to continue their fine start to the Premier League campaign.
Alan Pardew's men are unbeaten after seven games in a start that not many fans of the club would have predicted. After a difficult summer – key players left the club and not too much was spent on their replacements – many Newcastle fans feared the worst this year.
Betfred have been in touch to tell us they will offer all SqueakyBumTime visitors a free £50 bet to spend on all the action from St James'! Exclusive to this site, pick up this cracking free bet offer here!
However, after a 0-0 draw with Arsenal on the opening day was followed by an excellent 1-0 win at local rivals Sunderland, Newcastle have been in fine form to find themelves in the top four of the Premier League.
They will be aware that remaining in the Champions League places is an unrealistic target for the rest of the campaign, but they will want to keep their recent run going as long as possible and certainly won't want it to end against a Tottenham team that are three points behind them.
Spurs do have genuine top four ambitions of course. They got a taste for Champions League football last season and will want it back at White Hart Lane as soon as possible.
With this in mind, they will be encouraged by their recent form. Since being hammered by Manchester City, Harry Redknapp's men have won four Premier League games in succession, the most recent of which was a 2-1 victory over Arsenal just before the international break.
Spurs have a game in hand over most of their nearest rivals in the league too, so a win at St James Park on Sunday would put them in a very good position.
It won't be easy though. Newcastle are in excellent spirits and this clash between two of the in-form teams is extremely tough to call.
Looking at this fixture before the start of the season, you would have had Spurs down as favourites. This may still be the case, but it will be a lot more competitive than initially thought.
With regards to team news, Newcastle are expected to name an unchanged team while Tottenham will give a late fitness test to Emmanuel Adebayor to see if he is ready to start.
This one gets underway at 4pm on Sunday and acts as an excellent way to finish the weekend's Premier League action.

Department Seeking Information about Moose Snaring Incidents
Officials with the Department of Natural Resources are asking for the public's assistance in apprehending the person or persons responsible for setting snares that have killed several moose in the Trout River area.
Conservation officers have discovered a total of five snared moose in the area. Once snared, the animals were left to die. It is one of the worst cases of animal cruelty the conservation officers have witnessed.
Acting on reports from individuals in the community, conservation officers originally discovered three moose that had been snared and left to rot in a wooded area in close proximity to several houses. All three moose had been snared around the neck. The snares were rigged with the intent to disable or immobilize the moose.
On the same day, conservation officers received another report that a fourth moose appeared to be struggling and unable to move in another wooded area. Conservation officers found the live moose caught by its leg in a snare. Another dead moose was discovered in a snare 100 meters away.
As conservation officers attempted to free the live moose from the snare, the animal was able to break the rope and free itself. Without the intervention of conservation officers, the animal would have likely starved to death.
Further investigation of the area revealed other snares, several more rotted moose carcasses and skeletons, and older pieces of snares and ropes still attached to trees. The investigation is continuing.
Conservation officers are seeking the public's assistance to apprehend the person or persons responsible for the indiscriminate killing of these animals in such a brutal and heinous manner. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Western Region Forestry and Wildlife Office at (709) 637-2409, the Pasadena District Forestry and Wildlife Office at (709) 686-2071 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-363-TIPS (8477).
People are also encouraged to report the location of any additional snares or anything unusual.

Victory for the pre-purchase exam
Figures from the Veterinary Defence Society reveal that, despite the complexities, relatively few pre-purchase examinations result in negligence claims
The purchase of a horse or pony can appear to be a simple business
transaction. This transaction may, however, involve considerable sums of
money and high levels of emotion. In many situations, the purchaser may
have unrealistic expectations, too. Veterinary surgeons step directly
into this highly charged situation every time they perform a
pre-purchase examination (PPE).
If, for whatever reason, disappointment follows, or something goes
wrong, the modern consumer society dictates that someone must be to
blame, and the finger is frequently pointed at the vet.
There is no other transaction where it is easier for the seller to offload all responsibility for defective goods, and it is a tribute to our profession that negligence claims are not more frequent.
This is in no small part due to the excellent design of the approved PPE Certificate, supported by BEVA, RCVS, VCI and Veterinary Ireland (2012). This certificate was most recently modified this year, when it was confirmed that a mouth examination with a speculum should not be included in the standard procedure, but that it could be included as an additional procedure.
Veterinary Defence Society (VDS) figures from 2001 to 2017 show that just over one in three equine negligence claims involve a PPE. Missed features (including those missed on radiographs) top the list at 38 percent, followed by lameness (32 percent) and claims involving sarcoids and melanomas (19 percent).
Dental claims make up less than 5 percent of equine claims. Of the dental claims, most involve ageing and issues with the incisor teeth (2.5 percent of all claims) with only 1.3 percent of all equine PPE claims involving the cheek teeth. Put another way, less than one equine PPE claim per year involves an issue with the cheek teeth.
VDS members declare that they undertake between 30,000 and 40,000 PPEs per year, thus the approximate risk of a dental claim involving cheek teeth is 1 in 35,000 which suggests it is entirely appropriate to resist widening the scope of the PPE to include a dental examination using a speculum, remembering the old maxim "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Around one in 500 PPEs result in a negligence claim. Well over half of these claims are successfully defended by the VDS and a small percentage are settled with an ex gratia payment, with very few cases proceeding to court. So, when one considers the difficulty of the PPE, it is testament to the skill of the veterinary surgeons performing the examination combined with the excellent design of the PPE certificate that relatively few PPEs end up as negligence claims.
Well done BEVA and VDS for putting on those wonderful annual PPE courses to help ensure that the high standards remain. And well done BEVA for taking a considered look at the current certificate and ensuring it is up to date and reflective, and ticks the box to ensure that the PPE continues to be a fabulous example of the equine veterinary profession successfully serving the equine community.
Though we mustn't be complacent, the way the PPE is handled in the UK and Ireland is first class and is most definitely a success story we can feel good about.

SMALL HD 502 HDMI On-Camera Monitor
The SmallHD 500 Series on-camera monitors feature a Full HD, 1920x1080 LCD display. With a densely packed 441 pixel-per-inchscreen, they are the sharpest 5-inch on-camera monitor on the market. The LCD display can produce 85% of the NTSC Colour Gamut (greater than the REC.709 color standard), rivaling the coloru capabilities of OLED technology. The crisp 400 nit screen provides a 1500:1 contrast ratio for superior dynamic range.The 500 Series monitors can import 3D LUTs, via an SD card, to provide on-set previewing in real time of how a scene will look when later colorized in post-production. The Joystick button lets shooters experience touch-screen versatility without the downsides. Aside from being extremely responsive, using the Joystick Button doesn´t leave smudge marks on the screen.
The monitors are housed in an aluminum frame with a rubberized exterior chassis, as well as a rubberized ABS plastic front bezel and back battery plate-for protection in the toughest conditions. The size, weight and resolution make it an attractive option for shooters looking to attach it straight to the camera, while its robust mounting options and durability allow use on a gimbal or shoulder rig without adding bulk. The back plate of the monitor features slots to hold two rechargeable Canon LP-E6 batteries. It can also be powered via a D-tap off of a camcorder battery pack, or run from an AC adapter that snaps into the monitor´s battery plate. Power input range is 6.0 - 9.0VDC.
