In the Standard Model, the Higgs particle is a boson with no spin, electric charge, or color charge. It is also very unstable, decaying into other particles almost immediately. It is a quantum excitation of one component of the four component Higgs field–a scalar field with two neutral and two electrically charged components that forms a complex doublet of the weak isospin SU(2) symmetry. The field has a "Mexican hat" shaped potential with nonzero strength everywhere (including otherwise empty space) which in its vacuum state breaks the weak isospin symmetry of the electroweak interaction. When this happens, three components of the Higgs field are "absorbed" by the SU(2) and U(1) gauge bosons (the "Higgs mechanism") to become the longitudinal components of the now-massive W and Z bosons of the weak force. The remaining electrically neutral component separately couples to other particles known as fermions (via Yukawa couplings), causing these to acquire mass as well. Some versions of the theory predict more than one kind of Higgs fields and bosons. Alternative "Higgsless" models would need to be considered if the Higgs boson is not discovered.

On January 11, 2010, 12 students and two teachers from Boca Raton's Lynn University traveled on a service trip to Port-au-Prince, Haiti. On January 12, six of them were killed in the massive earthquake that hit the island, in what the school calls "the darkest day in the university's history."
Today, as part of a ceremony dedicating a $1.7 million remembrance plaza, the four students who were killed will be awarded posthumous degrees.

Andean Health and Development is transforming rural health at the community level in Latin America by providing high quality medical care and training for future rural healthcare leaders.
Focus: Health
Geographic Area of Impact: Ecuador
Model: Hybrid Non-Profit
Number of Direct Beneficiaries: 20,000 (2010)
Annual Budget: US$ 557,700 (2010)
Percentage Earned Revenue: 62%
Recognition: Regional Social Entrepreneur of the Year, Latin America, 2010
Rural populations in Ecuador face a range of challenges in attaining high quality healthcare, including limited access to specialized and hospital-based care. While the reach of basic primary care has broadened in the developing world, allowing for quick and inexpensive treatment of common illnesses, the treatment of infectious diseases still represents a critical gap in healthcare services. Often, the nearest hospitals for rural populations are hours away in major cities, forcing sick villagers to overcome geographic, economic and cultural barriers to access quality treatment. These barriers often make the treatment of infectious diseases difficult. Pregnant women and children in rural communities still die at alarming rates, from the complications of infectious diseases that can be easily treated in specialized clinics and hospitals in urban communities across the developed world.
Innovation and Activities
AHD raises the standard of care at community hospitals by utilizing the best medical and administrative practices available, and by focusing on the community. It is integral to AHD`s strategy to be community based, so it focuses on serving the community members while also employing local staff.
AHD's approach to rural health is based upon providing a high standard of care to patients by educating young doctors and nurses to be effective leaders. The training component of AHD's work involves comprehensive education of the best medical and administrative practices for medical residents and nursing students. These programmes are conducted in partnership with the Catholic University of Ecuador's Medical School and the Luis Vargas Torres University Nursing School. Professionals in training follow the comprehensive AHD Manual, which differentiates AHD doctors and nurses from those working in the traditional public health sector, where formal residency training is not required. Physicians are usually hired directly from medical school with little or no hands-on experience.
The hospitals provide 24-hour care and use technology to streamline processes, i.e. Pedro Vicente Maldonado Hospital in north-west Ecuador relies 100% on electronic medical records.
AHD's hospitals are financially sustainable, supported entirely by efficient use of local funds through a public-private partnership with the country's Social Security Administration.
The Entrepreneur
Dr David Gaus received a BA in Accounting in 1984 from Notre Dame University. After an impressive conversation with then University President Theodore M. Hesburgh, he travelled to Ecuador and volunteered for two years at The Working Boys' Center. There he observed the marginalization of a population of mostly women and children who, he later learned, lacked access to even basic health services. When he returned to the US, Gaus re-enrolled at Notre Dame to complete his pre-med studies, and then earned an MD and Master's in Public Health and Tropical Medicine from Tulane University. In 1994 he and Friar Hesburgh founded ADH, where he has served as Executive Director ever since. He is concurrently serving as Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Wisconsin.

Zucchini Linguini With Spinach + Basil Pesto
This recipe is from my book Purely Delicious and what I love about this dish is that you can enjoy zucchini linguini raw or lightly heated through. The pesto slightly softens the zucchini as the aromatics penetrate right through and you end up with a glorious plate of deliciousness that is irresistible. I love to serve mine simply with a grating of Parmesan and roasted pine nuts. For added protein, I sometimes add a lightly fried organic egg.

Read it on my TOI blog : Freeze Frame
I know now how he felt, all those years ago, when he looked up at the brick and mortar carcass that was slowly, day by day, taking the shape of his dreams. Now I know, because I find myself in his shoes.
Those were the days when he had less gray hair and generally more hair, toured the North Eastern parts of the country extensively on work, smoked cigarettes virtually non-stop and blew rings of smoke lazily into the air, much to the glee of my sister and me; those were the days when he had only one good reason to visit a by lane tucked away behind a labyrinth of lanes off the boi para of College Street – an old, dilapidated house that had been razed to the ground and a new house was slowly raising its head from the rubble much like the proverbial phoenix rising from the ashes of the past. This was our house. The house he was building.
I used to accompany him on many of his weekend trips to what would one day become our house, clutching on to his big finger as I hopped and ran to match my seven year old steps with his leonine strides. As we got closer to the house his steps would quicken. Finally, he would pick me up and cover the last two or three turns of the alleys that lay between us and the house, at a pace that I could not keep up with. Once there, he would turn into a very different person – almost like an impatient child who would overflowing with questions about his new toy. I remember him tugging at the iron rods clumped together to form the core of the pillars of the foundation (to check their strength, perhaps?); watched him as he ran his fingers through the cracks that had emerged on the freshly plastered walls with a look of disappointment writ large on his face; remember him peering closely at the veneer on the freshly polished doors and windows; and always remember asking myself why he chose to do so. Our visits were filled with many technical questions that I knew nothing about: slopes, inclines, thickness of the walls and strength; but behind all of these questions, the one question that I could sense was uppermost in his mind was the one I rarely heard him ask: "When will all this chaos be over and when will we get to move in?"
Our house stands tall today, with its balconies on the south face overlooking a park; the broad bay windows that let in the first rays of the morning sun standing tall and proud; and a big terrace and a narrow strip of land at the back dotted with his favourite plants and flowers. Today, my father lives with my mother in that house still, long after his two daughters, my sister and I, moved out in pursuit of our own lives.
And as our apartment is under renovation, I find myself in his shoes today. In the last four months not a day has gone by without me poking around the rubble amongst the broken walls, pile of bricks, bags of cement and stacks of plyboard. I stand there and gaze at the gaping holes that were once walls and see doors that I had so far dreamt about, look up at the cavern which used to sport a false ceiling that has been replaced with rafters, and Italian marble floors, which I believe would be better suited in hardwood. On one occasion, not so long ago, I remember the Bee and I didn't talk to each other for three days because we could not agree on the colour of the walls in the study, he wanted a brooding midnight blue and I wanted a rusty red. On the fourth day we decided we both preferred Olive Green…
Now a lot of ground has been covered and the walls are getting their first coat of paint. I was there even today and passing by a mirror thought I caught a glimpse of my father even as I ran my hand over the fresh coat of paint, pointed out a few cracks to the masons, irritated the life out of the carpenter by asking far too many questions about the louvers I wanted and added some 'innovative' improvements to the bookcase they had already finished. I came away happy that my dream is slowly turning into reality.

Big Storm Tonight/Tomorrow Followed by Another Week of Storms
This is getting ridiculous.
When the sober-minded National Weather Service stated that Mammoth has "outrageous" amounts of snow this past weekend, it was a clear sign that Mammothites have good reason to be exhausted.
Unfortunately for at least the storm-battered humans of the town – drought-battered trees, meadows and desert might have a different take – it's not over yet.
Even as the Eastern Sierra battened down the hatches Monday, Feb. 20, for a storm that is forecast to dump between four and five feet of snow on Mammoth Mountain by Tuesday evening, a brand-new forecast Monday morning showed signs of yet more storms lining up – not just through Thursday as earlier forecast, but beyond this week.
"This is a new development today," said Mammoth forecaster Howard Sheckter. "We are going into a different kind of pattern and it looks like there is another storm Thursday, then another Friday and another into the weekend and into early next week."
Although none of the storms will be a strong as the atmospheric river storm that will drop the four feet-plus of snow and about five inches of water content in the snow rain on Mammoth Mountain during the next 24 hours, the most recent models indicate more storms will keep coming every other day or so into next week, he said.
That said, this is not a forecast, but rather, a weather outlook, he said.
That means forecasters still do not have a high degree of confidence in the weather patterns beyond this Thursday, but longer range models are showing patterns leading to more storms beyond this week.
Here's a brief summary of what to expect.
The Monday/Tuesday storm should drop about four-plus feet of snow on Mammoth Mountain, Sheckter said, with two to three feet in the town of Mammoth, depending on the elevation.
"Elevation will make a big difference," he said, noting that locations in Mammoth above 8,000 feet will get a decent amount more snow that locations at or below 8,000 feet. For example, below 8,000 feet areas will see 10 to 18 inches of snow by Tuesday evening; areas above will see 18 to 36 inches, he said.
Areas below 8,000 feet will get mostly rain, he said, but again, the amount of rain will vary widely, again depending on the elevation.
"Mammoth Mountain is supposed to receive about five inches of precipitation (this is the water content within the snow) but at the 8,200-foot level it will drop off to about three and a quarter inches and at the 8,000-foot level it will be about two point eight inches," he said.
Then, the next storm arrives tomorrow night as the big, warm atmospheric river exits.
This Tuesday night/Wednesday storm will bring only light amounts of snow and it will be much colder, he said, with between one and three inches iof snow in the forecast for Mammoth.
It will continue to snow lightly Wednesday during the day, with the best break for travelers Thursday.
But even that won't be a complete break, he said, nor will it last very long.
"There is another storm coming in Friday," he said, although again, the storm will bring only light snow to Mammoth.
Then, another large, warm, wet storm may be be lining up in the Pacific Ocean and pointed toward California, although the brunt of that storm will be south of Mammoth, he said.
He didn't yet have an estimate for the amount of snow or rain in the weekend atmospheric river storm, or more details on where it will come ashore.
After that?
Yep, another storm is in the forecast for next Monday. Feb. 27 into Tuesday, Feb. 28, he said.
"This will be a cold, light storm," he said, noting by Tuesday of next week, the weather should be only "cold and showery."
Then what?
"Who the heck knows," he said.

Firstly I want to clear that this is not my story….it is about a person whom I have known from last 8 years. He is a random guy who is never seen serious and is kind of person I would never respect.
If you ask my opinion about him I would say –I never liked his behavior because of the kind impression he had on me is not good. But still today I thought to write a post about him so that I could make others understand that – how human behavior change with time and position.
I also want to explain that why I am writing about him because I need some people like this person himself who didn't understand my perception that we should understand and respect individual choice and views. Let call this person as X. (I don't want to mention his name because it could cause lot of mess)
So here is his story –
A few years back X proposed his high school classmate but his classmate rejected his proposal because she thought that X is highly immature and unfocused about his career. I have also heard that when X got rejected he cried lot and was pleading for his puppy love .Which is unbelievable to think ,that a person like X can do. But the girl rejected him very rudely. I felt bad for X because I can understand how it is to be rejected in love.
When we were young ….specially when we were teens these kinds of things are common. But we hardly forget; who our first love was and we still feel the pain of rejection.
So now X have also forgotten that rejection and now have moved on with a sweet girl. Even though I have never met her I could say her sweet and ignorant because she is with X (A kind of person who is not worthy of her). When I heard this ,I was eager to know how this thing (event) actually happened that a sweet girl fall for a person like X. Even though I am surprised with their relation ,I respect and salute the girl for accepting a person with all his demerits and merits.
For success full relation it is necessary to accept your partner's drawbacks and if you respect him / her; it doesn't matter what others think about you and your relationship.
PS :- X is lucky that he got a girl who accepted him ….but it is also X responsibility to put all his effort to main their relationship .(the future is unpredictable )
One thing more I would like to say that people like X always point on others and make jokes on other without understanding that earlier they were in that similar position or could be in that position. It is easy to comment and go , but it is difficult to accept the reality and show .

Culturally Responsive Pedagogy Engaging Māori Students Bi-cultural Professional Development in an Early Childhood Service. Implications to the Tertiary Sector? Na Dr Craig Rofe Karakia … Whakataka te hau ki te uru Cease the winds from the west Whakataka te hau ki te tonga Cease the winds from the south Kia mākinakina ki uta Let the breeze blow over the land Kia mātaratara ki tai Let the breeze blow over the ocean E hī ake ana te atākura Let the red-tipped dawn come with a sharpened air He tio, he huka, he hau hū A touch of frost, a promise of glorious day Tihei Mauriora 2 Ko Anahera Karanga Scott taku tamāhine. Anahera Karanga Scott is my daughter. 3 Ko Karanga te Wharepuni Karanga is the meeting house. 4 Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (Geneva Gay) Key Elements for Success for Teachers to Implement Culturally Responsive Pedagogy: 1. Developing a Cultural Diversity Knowledge Base – "which ethnic groups give priority to communal living and cooperative problem solving …?" …. "how different ethnic groups' protocols of appropriate ways for children to interact with adults …." Teachers' perceptions of multicultural education is superficial and distorted information ….. 2. Designing Culturally Relevant Curricula – formal plans (standards) that avoid hegemony, emphasizing factual knowledge while ignoring attitudes, feelings, experiences. Symbolic Curriculum – images, symbols, icons …. Ensure represent wide variety ethnicities, genders, cultural diversity. Societal Curriculum – knowledge, ideas and impressions from TV, movies etc. 3. Demonstrating Cultural Caring and Building a Learning Community. 4. Cross Cultural Communications 5. Cultural Congruity in Classroom Instruction 6. Introduction to Culturally Relevant Pedagogy - Geneva Gay 5 Culturally Responsiveness and Cultural Competence 1. Cultural competency is closely related to cultural responsiveness. In the teaching context, cultural competence is about affirming and validating the culture of each learner (Hates, Johnston, King, 2009). 2. The New Zealand Teachers' Council (2014) argues that culturally competent teachers understand how they can use the learners' culture(s) as building blocks to teach and learn and are able to build relationships with the learners. 3. Perso (2012) in his literature review of cultural responsive and school education clarifies: 'cultural responsiveness' it the delivered outcome of the cultural competence (capacity) of an individual or an organization; Cultural responsiveness is the response planned for and delivered that derives from having cultural competence. To be more specific, Cultural Responsiveness is enacted Cultural Competence (p.22) (Emphasis is original) 4. Fitzgerald (2000) describes culturally competent people as individuals able to identify and challenge their own assumptions, values and beliefs. They are able to empathise and see the world through the eyes of another or at least recognise that others may have a different cultural lens to view the world. 6 Ngā Tātaiako – Cultural Competencies (NZTC, 2012) 7 ECE Centre – Case Study • Centre has 23 staff members, 136 tamariki. • 12 month duration for action research project. • One hour professional workshops conducted every two months (5 total). Usual workshops late at night 7 pm!!!! • 17 staff members involved in research side of project. • Content of workshops consisted of Tataiako framework, Tataiako implementation into practice, Te Reo Māori, Tikanga Māori. • Noho Marae (Marae overnight stay) - pōwhiri process [manuhiri/tangata whenua], marae roles and duties as tangata whenua. 8 ECE Centre – Case Study 9 10 Diagnostic – BEGINNER TEACHERS 11 `Whanungatanga'– Relationships, (students, school wide, community) with high expectations. Number of People 1 2 3 4 5 1/ Understands the impact of their own identity, language and culture (cultural locatedness) on relationships. 5/ Has the tools and strategies to develop successful relationships with Māori learners, whanau, hapū, iwi and communities. 12 Wānanga – Communication, Problem Solving, Innovation. Number of People 1 2 3 4 5 (1 = poor competence, 5 = excellent competence) 13 `Ako'– practise in the classroom and beyond. Number of People 1 2 3 4 5 14 Wananga Whanaungatanga Manaakitanga Tangata Whenuatanga Ako 15 Diagnostic Summary/Reflection • Teachers have an overall confidence with the importance and acknowledgement of relationships with Māori learners/whanau/iwi. • Above average competence with value/acceptance of Maori values, beliefs, language and culture. • Teacher have an agreement of lack of skills to implement or explain most facets of elements of Tataiako. 16 PD Developments/Details • 'Classroom practice intervention' (described later) provided a formative assessment of research project. Details confirmed that one hour workshops did not provide a sufficient authentic context to explore Maori concepts within a holistic regime (mind, body & soul). •Noho marae event became an imperative platform to enable teachers to connect to a Māori worldview and provide connection to Tataiako elements (Wānanga, Whanaungatanga …….. etc). • Unique environment of marae (Tapu te Ranga, Island Bay) provided opportunity of staff to take roles of 'tangata whenua' (local people). 17 Hypothetical Classroom Practice… • The following template was provided during PD to provide scaffolding to implement elements of Tataiako into teacher practice. 18 Practise Intervention Task 1 - External - Choice Please choose a "behavioural indicator" from one of the competencies in the Tataiako document ( within your level of experience) to engage with. Example: Whanaungatanga / Beginning teacher / Demonstrates a willingness to engage with Iwi and Maori communities. Copy your choice in the box below and outline the reasons for your choice Task 2 - External - Action Describe what action you took and how you engaged with the indicator. Example - Made contact with the local iwi to enquire about educational programmes for Maori learners Your reflection could respond to key questions such as What did the action look like?/sound like?/ feel like? What impact did it have on your learners?/ you ?/ your colleagues?/ your learning centre?/ your friends and whanau? How might it influence your future practice? What difficulties / barriers did you encounter? What are potential areas for development / improvement? 19 Noho Marae Tapu te Ranga – 'Family marae of Bruce Stewart and whanau provides full autonomy when visiting. Arrive as Manuhiri (visitors) Provide Wānaga environment to complete profficency in tangata whenua roles (Kaikaranga, hakapowhiri, kaiwhaikorero) 20 Kaikaranga with support from Maori staff.

Perhaps it could be some of these reasons:
- I eat mostly vegetarian meals and have for quite some time.
- Besides a few dishes of meat that I did crave, most meat just didn't taste good anymore.
I think the most compelling reason was this:
Aren't these guys so cute?
There is a slaughterhouse near where I work. Many days as I am exiting the turnpike I see trucks with pigs in them pulling up next to me. Those cute pigs stick their snouts out of the slats in the truck and I have to look those cuties in the "snout" all the while wanting to go open the truck door and let them all out.Of course pigs running around a road with lots of cars, is not such a good thing either, but you get the idea. There just so cute. I get images of one of my favorite childhood books "Charlotte's Web" stuck in my head. I also want to know why they spray paint blue lines on those piggies. I wonder if it's means their time is up? How sad.
A turning point:
On November 8th, my hubby came to take me to lunch. We went to Chipoltle and then stopped at the bookstore. I picked up the new book by Alicia Silverstone called "The Kind Diet". I had been wanting to read the book, but knowing it was about Veganism I was not sure.
This book really spoke to me in a way that other books haven't. Sure I knew in the back of my heart that I was moving in this direction, but Alicia has a really kind way about her that shines through in this book. I think this book really speaks to those who are on the fence or who were looking for someone to explain it in a non judgmental way. She never makes you feel bad that your a meat eater and I love that she encourages flirting with eating more vegetarian/vegan foods. It's not preachy and I really appreciate that. That was the last day I had meat. It's now been 11 days since I went meat-free. I haven't missed out on anything and I've had some incredible meals since. The key to feeling satisfied is to eat plenty of plant protein as well as protein from whole grains.
I read almost all of it that night. I told my family at dinner that night, that who knows I might become a vegetarian. I've talked about this before with my husband, so it was nothing new to him. I woke up the next day and just made the decision that I was done with meat. It's been 11 days now with no meat and I feel good with my decision. Not sure if I will become a vegan or not. I think I'd like to because I don't like how the animals get treated to give milk and eggs. I also don't want to overwhelm myself by trying to do everything in one day, but I think it's something I may move towards.
This blog will be about my new journey of being a vegetarian and my movement towards possibly becoming a vegan. It was super scary jumping off that cliff and making the decision to do it, but I've been so excited at how easy and yummy it's been.

Ms Meg Munn (Sheffield, Heeley): Will my hon. Friend pay tribute to a co-operative that he and I know wellWortley Hall, in the constituency of my hon.
Wortley Hall provides conference facilities for much of the trade union movement, and holidays. It has been used for the benefit of local people for more than 50 years, yet how often do we go to a hotel or similar establishment in the private sector and find that it is now owned by someone different?
Mr. Bailey: I thank my hon. Friend for that information. Yes, I will pay tribute to Wortley Hall. I have spent many happy weekends there, and my hon. Friend's intervention reminded me that in addition to all its other achievements it has one above all: it is the place where my wife agreed to marry me, which I think everyone would agree makes it even more remarkable.
It is a testimony to the relevance and resilience of mutual and co-operative organisations that they have survived so long in a not very friendly legislative climate.
As the hon. Member for Twickenham said, mutuals and some co-operative societies have not always sold themselves very well. They have been happy to do their business, in some cases very successfully, but they have not conveyed to their members or the wider world the fact that they are a different type of business, and the merits of surviving as a different type of business. That omission was one of the factors that made them vulnerable to the predatory efforts of the carpetbaggers about whom we have heard so much this morning.
When the attacks on mutual societies were at their height, I read the financial pages of many newspapers, some of which should have known better, and I felt that the debate that went on failed to give a balanced perspective on the relevance and significance of the mutual sector in our financial set-up. All too often, many financial commentators were happy to go along with the tide of self-interest that dominated the debate.
That attack on the mutual sector highlights the need for the Bill, but I emphasise that it is not just a defensive Bill, designed to protect societies. It is a recognition that today's economy is more complex. The economy is no longer divided purely into the private sector and the public sector. The social economy is ever more important. In an increasing number of areas, although companies have to survive in the market, profit is not their main motive or driving force. Attempts to deliver many vital services by private shareholding companies have not worked. I could mention the water utilities anddare I say itRailtrack as classic examples.
Different forms of community-based business have proliferated. This morning we have heard about housing co-operatives, care co-operatives, football trusts, food co-operatives, credit unions, societies, clubs, and even the Women's Institute. My hon. Friend the Member for Ilford, South (Mike Gapes) has said that although those are different in so many ways, they all have one thing in common: they are owned by their members. For the most part, they also have other things in common. First, there is a degree of education in participation. Secondly, their success is measured by the quality of the service that they
When I look around my constituency of West Bromwich, West, I see traditional and new co-operative and mutual endeavours. There is the West Midlands co-operative society, which still has many vital trading outlets, often in places where other multiples would not go. There is the Tipton and Coseley building society, which has survived the predatory instincts of certain people. It has not only provided many years of valuable service to the local community and the local economy, but been a linchpin in initiatives to regenerate the Tipton area.
There is also a housing co-operative at Cotterills Farm in Tipton, which works with the local authority and provides an excellent service to its tenants. We have a food co-operative, Sandwell Community Foods, which provides much needed healthy foods to people who otherwise would not have access to shops. It concentrates on delivering fresh fruit and vegetables at competitive prices to private homes, schools and nursing homes. It is funded partly by the national lottery board, partly by income that it generates itself and partly by the health authority through the health action zone. It is a clear demonstration of a community business complementing Government initiatives in the realisation of agreed social objectives.
These community-based companies are growing because the dividing line between the traditional public and private sectors is becoming blurred. Many services provided by national and local government have lacked flexibility and sensitivity to consumer needs. However, those services would suffer if they were delivered by private companies, where scarce resources would be diverted into shareholders' pockets. The co-operative or mutual alternative provides a solution that is as sensitive to consumer demand as the private sector, but which does not divert those much needed revenues into private shareholders' pockets.
However, under existing legislation there is a problem. The irony is that the more successful a mutual or co-operative becomes, the more vulnerable it is to privatisation. The richer it becomes in assets, the more likely it is to become a target for carpetbaggers.
Once privatisation takes place, the assets that have been built up by individuals on behalf of the community are lost, the service that the mutual or co-operative has delivered to the community is all too often lostand, perhaps most worryingly, it provides a tangible disincentive for the other organisations that seek to do that work to organise on a mutual or co-operative basis. The fear of having the assets built up by a co-operative initiative taken over and privatised is still a definite disincentive in some areas.
The provisions in the Bill to ensure that any privatisation of a society will require a higher threshold of membership support should act as a deterrent; I welcome them. The clauses are designed to ensure that the society's assets continue to be used for community or other benefits will remove that incentive for carpetbaggers.
I recognise the point made by the hon. Member for Epsom and Ewell (Chris Grayling), who is not in his place at the moment, that the provisions could present difficulties in certain circumstances. I believe that most of
The clauses that would provide for the updating of society legislation in line with other forms of company law are very welcome. They are welcome, above all, because they represent a recognition that industrial and provident society law is as important and significant as other forms of company lawthat it is not just an archaic relic left over from the Victorian era, but a living and dynamic form of corporate legislation that plays, and will continue to play, a vital role in a modern, socially sensitive market economy. I therefore ask all hon. Members to support the Bill.
Mrs. Ellman: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I note that several of my hon. Friends, as Labour and Co-operative Members of Parliament, have declared their membership of the co-operative group. I was not aware that that was a requirement in this debate. If it is a requirement, I wish to declare my membership of that group, as a Labour and Co-operative Member of Parliament, and I apologise for not doing so when I made my speech.
Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Michael Lord): That is not really a point of order for the occupant of the Chair, but the hon. Lady has made her point, and it is now on the record.
Jim Sheridan (West Renfrewshire): May I say from the outset that I am not a member of the Co-operative party, but that I will still endeavour to co-operate and keep my contribution brief?
I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Harrow, West (Mr. Thomas) on introducing the Bill. It is a breath of fresh air for me that the Bill contains social values that are consistent with my own values, when this society is one of personal gain and personal greed. The values in the Bill are consistent with those that brought me and a number of my colleagues into politicssocial responsibility, accountability and the fundamental recognition that the more vulnerable people in our society depend on such organisations to enhance the quality of their lives.
I can think of no other recognised organisationsother than the Labour party and the trade union movementthat have the absolute commitment to democratic member control and participation that is apparent in the constitution of the co-operative societies. They have one member, one voteas opposed to registered companies, where each share has a vote.
Co-operatives work for the benefit of their communities in a way that other financial institutions choose to ignore. Likewise, I also want to mention the good work done by credit unions, which has been mentioned already. A number of local credit unions in my constituency do sterling work day in, day out.
I am fortunate to represent a constituency that is diverse and somewhat complicated. In West Renfrewshire, many people live comfortable lives and operate within the established financial institutions, but there are those who, through no fault of their own, are unable to do so, or are uncomfortable in that environment. That is why the Bill is important. It would protect the interestsand, more importantly, the assetsof the societies from the carpetbaggers, whose only interest is self-interest; they have no interest in our communities. There is clear evidence that the financial predators are in the vicinity. That is why we must get the wagons in a circle now and legislate to protect those valuable and socially inclusive societies.
Industrial and provident societies have a crucial role in monitoring and delivering our public servicesan issue of particular interest to me. Trying to deliver good quality transport is a particular problem in the rural communities in my constituency, and such societies could play a role in solving that problem.
We often refer to those societies as friendly societies, which is exactly what they are. They are user-friendly and their members feel comfortable participating in their structure, which strikes a proper balance between prudence and the needs of the community. On that basis, I am absolutely delightedas a non-member of the Co-operative partyto support the Bill, which offers tangible legislative protection to those who have a social conscience in our society.
