Every year I lose a proportion of seeds to mice. They are particularly partial to pea and bean seeds, and since I know this, I should really take precautionary measures to prevent my early sowing of broad bean seeds ending up like this. I always sow peas and beans in trays or pots, as they are just devoured if I sow them outside. You will note, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the way the defendant has chewed his way through the skin and devoured the inside of the seed, leaving behind the discarded skin as DNA evidence.
There is a fairly healthy population of wood mice around here, and frankly I don't like killing them, but they come into my greenhouse at their peril. So it's mouse traps, and/or poison. I wish there was a way of scaring them away, but if I don't take steps now, I will be overrun by summer.
So, donning my black cap, I find in favour of the plaintiff Doyle in this case and do prounounce the sentence of this court that A N Rodent be summarily despatched to the Great Mouse Cemetary in the Sky.

Go Active for 2018

The National Trust has long been praised for its preservation and renovation of our much loved historic properties. With visitor attractions conveniently located throughout the UK, the National Trust has provided some of my most memorable days out! However with such a wide choice of attractions so readily available, choosing which historic property to visit can sometimes be a little tricky. So here at Sykes cottages we've compiled a list of our favourite counties to visit for National Trust properties in the hope that you'll feel inspired on your next UK holiday.
North Wales is a tourist hotspot. Its rich history and charming culture attracts visitors all year round, even when it gets a little bit wet (as Wales so often tends to do). If it's history you're after then look no further than Penrhyn Castle. This spectacular 19th century castle boasts a wondrous Victorian walled garden, exciting guided tours and its renovated kitchens as well as a classic railway museum. If you'd like to explore Wales' history whilst keeping the children entertained then why not visit Plas Newydd on Anglesey. This stately manor offers stunning paintings and marvellous architecture as well as, in my opinion, one of the nation's best adventure playgrounds; but make sure you get a map from the visitors centre as the playground is hidden in the trees!
The county of Devon is renowned for its vibrant coastal towns such as Torquay and Ilfracombe and is the perfect getaway for tourists in the summer months. This delightful county is home to some inspiring National Trust properties which are perfect for exploring on a lazy sunny afternoon. Buckland Abbey is an iconic building and makes for an excellent photo opportunity. The museum at the abbey is home to some cultural treasures and children will love to view the legendary Drake's Drum, which Sir Francis Drake took with him when he travelled around the world. For an alternative to the seaside we would suggest a visit to Castle Drogo, the last true castle to be built in England! The castle is currently undergoing renovation but don't worry as there is still plenty to do and see with new exhibitions to try out and beautiful grounds to explore.
The charming county of Cheshire is known for its stunning farmlands and dramatic Roman history. As well as the excitement of Chester's town walls and amphitheatre, the county also has an elegant and tranquil side; this can be seen at the beautiful Lyme Park. This wonderful house and its gardens are home to the Legh family who allow visitors to step back in time to the Edwardian era and enjoy a leisurely stroll through the 1,300 acre estate. If you are looking for a more hands on day out then you'll want to visit Tatton Park. This fantastic estate is the perfect place for children, with a working farm, adventure playground and den building zone, it really allows them to get out there and experience nature first hand!
These are some of our favourite areas to visit for National Trust properties and luckily we have a wide selection of holiday cottages near to National Trust attractions which would be perfect for anyone looking to book an exciting holiday for 2014. So visit our website or call one of advisor's today and give yourself a little something to look forward to in the New Year!

Photofocus: Dave Black – Photographer, Teacher, and Author
I first met Dave Black at Photoshop World several years ago. He was setting up a balance beam in a lecture hall for a live shoot he was doing with a champion gymnast for a session he was teaching. As I watched him set up, interact with the gymnast, his assistant, and the room full of attendees; one of the things I was struck with the most was how much Dave loved photography. Dave's career as a world-renowned sports photographer spans 30 years, he's covered every kind of sport you can think of, including 12 Olympic games, but the joy in his face when he got the shot that morning was like seeing a kid on Christmas morning opening that one present they had been hoping against hope to find. He loves what he does, and his excitement, much like his stellar work, inspires all who come in contact with him. Continue reading at Photofocus.com.

The Redeemed Christian Church pastor who was abducted by hoodlums, last Sunday during church service, was released by his captors over the weekend.
According to reports, Pastor Ayo Funsho Rapheal was taken to somewhere along Lokoja at midnight and asked to go home. Luckily, Pastor Ayo was able to find his way to the church where other pastors were holding a vigil for his release.
Although the kidnappers earlier demanded a ransom of N50 million for his release, it is yet to be confirmed if any amount was paid for his release.

DARIN GORSKI: Is he officially a reliever now? Adam Rubin of ESPN New York took to Twitter a short while ago and began posting his projections for the Mets Triple-A roster. Included in his Las Vegas 51′s rotation he has: Zack Wheeler, Aaron Laffey, Collin McHugh, Chris Schwinden and Carlos Torres. A month ago I projected the rotation as follows: Zack Wheeler Collin McHugh Mark Cohoon Darin Gorski Aaron Laffey That was what was left once I removed Mejia, who has been shutdown for at least a month, and Hefner who won a job in the Mets rotation. The biggest difference between what I project and Rubin is that he has Carlos Torres in the rotation and Darin Gorski is nowhere to be seen. When I posted my projection back on February 21, I speculated that both Familia and Gorski may not even make the cut and could be relegated to the bullpen because of too many arms: Jeurys Familia is looking more and more like a reliever now and even Darin Gorski is beginning to trend in that direction lately.

A person who is arrested for driving under the influence is confronted with two problems. First, he faces criminal penalties imposed by a court of law. At the present time, a first offense of DUI is categorized as a Class A misdemeanor offense. The potential penalties include up to one year in jail and a maximum fine of $2,500.
Second, a DUI offender faces civil penalties. A case in which the offender refused or failed chemical testing (such as the breathalyzer) will result in an administrative penalty imposed by the Secretary of State. A person will receive a statutory summary suspension of his driver's license that goes into effect after 45 days.
But most important, there is the possibility that the offender can have his driving privileges revoked. This is the ultimate penalty for DUI.
Defense attorneys and prosecutors will argue about which penalties are the most severe. Opinions will differ on whether jail or community service is more difficult. My opinion is that a revoked license is the penalty with the most impact.
Generally, a person cannot function without a driver's license. In the state of Illinois, a person who does not have the right to drive will suffer economic hardship. It will be nearly impossible to obtain gainful employment and support one's family. For example, it will be impossible to transport family members to and from medical care, or transport children to and from school. The loss of driving privileges will affect everyone in the household.
Perhaps the only exception is where the person lives in downtown Chicago, which has adequate public transportation. But living and raising a family in Chicago is just not financially feasible for many people.
Without question, the ultimate penalty for driving under the influence is a revoked license.
And a revoked license can happen on the first offense.
The law that allows the Secretary of State to revoke an individual's driving privileges is the following:
Except as provided in this Section, the Secretary of State shall immediately revoke the license, permit, or driving privileges of any driver upon receiving a report of the driver's conviction of any of the following offenses:
Violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance relating to the offense of operating or being in physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination thereof.
625 ILCS 5/6-205(a)(2).
The Secretary of State is required to revoke the driving privileges of any person who is convicted of DUI. There is no way to get around this law. The only way to avoid a revoked license is to avoid a conviction.
I try to refrain from expressing my opinion on these cases in my articles. But this is one instance in which it is appropriate.
My opinion is that a lawyer who represents a client should regard the DUI as though it is just as serious as any felony. In a felony case, the client could go to prison.
In a DUI case, the client could have his driver's license revoked. I am convinced that, in a way, a revoked license is a more serious issue than a prison sentence.
The reason is, a prison sentence will last for a definite period of time. Except in cases of a natural life sentence, every prison sentence has an ending. At some point, the client gets paroled and goes home.
A revoked license, by comparison, has no ending. While it is true that a revoked license is supposed to last for one year, the truth is that it can last indefinitely. A revoked license will last until that person goes before the Secretary of State Department of Administrative Hearings. Revoked driver must undergo a formal hearing and prove by clear and convincing evidence that he should be reinstated.
Click here to download the application for hearing.
It is reported that 80% of people who apply for reinstatement after revocation for DUI are denied on the first attempt.
This is the reason why every DUI case should be regarded as a felony, and treated with as much attention.

SMART MOVE | Joe Moser, 27, went from being a general worker to a branch manager when he moved to Fort St. John
An engineer and his journalist partner give up the suburban life for a whole new way of living in Fort St. John—number one again on our list of B.C.'s Best Cities for Work
On an early morning this past fall, Joe Moser was getting ready to leave home and go to work when he was stopped suddenly in his tracks: there, standing beside his truck in the driveway, was what he describes as a "monster of a thing": a huge mother moose. With her calf grazing in his garden, mother moose wasn't going anywhere—and neither, it turns out, was Moser.
Life is a little different in Fort St. John, human population 22,000 (moose population: unknown). Moser, a Surrey native, moved to the city 18 months ago. He had been working for Nu-Westech in Richmond as a junior structural engineer-in-training when his girlfriend, Bronwyn Scott, was offered a job as a reporter at the Alaska Highway News. Moser started calling companies in Fort St. John for project management positions. He found the only structural engineer in town, retiree Jim Jarvis, who passed his phone number on to Grande Prairie-based engineering firm Beairsto & Associates—who, within the day, called Moser and asked him to open a branch for the firm in Fort St. John.
"With no resumé—no nothing—I was given the opportunity here that I would not have been given anywhere else in B.C.," says Moser, 27. "I've gone from just your general worker to a manager, and it opens up a whole series of possibilities."
Moser and Scott are among the many couples moving to B.C.'s northeast—taking advantage of what our Best Cities for Work list shows is, for the second year running, the hottest job market in the province. Lori Ackerman, mayor of Fort St. John, says she began to see the shift from the boom-bust cycle around 2003, when the year-round summer drilling credit program was approved. The population has grown 7.4 per cent in Fort St. John since 2010 and by 9.9 per cent in nearby Dawson Creek (number two on our list). Many of these newcomers are also young: the median age is 31 in Fort St. John and 36 in Dawson Creek, compared to a B.C. median of 42. "Fort St. John is a place where both partners in a relationship can have good paying jobs—and that doesn't happen everywhere," says Ackerman.
Indeed, within a year of moving to Fort St. John, Moser and Scott were able to buy a house on 160 acres of land just outside the city—a vast improvement from their accommodations in the Lower Mainland (Moser lived with family in North Surrey while Scott rented a basement suite in Newton). "We can afford a house and a decent lifestyle here, and I don't have to commute," says Moser. That said, he sees the limitations for many of the young workers flooding into town. "I find that people who come here either love it or they hate it. They're looking for more pubs, clubs, movie theatres and malls."
For Moser, the biggest shortcoming has been a lack of dining options. "There's lots of restaurants, but there isn't any ethnic food. If you're a creative enough cook you can go to Save-On and make it yourself," he says. As for Mayor Ackerman, she sees this weakness as an opportunity: "If people are interested in being an entrepreneur and they have some kind of niche service and it's not available up here, they would find people glad to see it."

I've never really been into pies until I moved to Australia. In europe, they just don't seem to be as big a thing as they are here. When I was an omnivore, I liked stopping at any old fuel station and getting me a beef and mushroom pie. Yum! Only the contents of those pies were sketchy at best and I could never tell apart the beef from the mushroom. Needless to say, I stopped eating pies and even thinking about them after my transition to vegetarianism.
I am an extremely huge fan of puff pastry though, and after having so much in the freezer, I decided to do something about it. Make my first completely vegan pie. So here it goes: If you prefer watching videos, you can see that here.
Ingredients :
Any vegetables you feel like. Seriously, it does not matter.
For the pie depicted below I used :
- Onions
- Green Beans
- Carrots
- Zucchini
- Mushrooms
- Cherry tomatoes
Cooked on the pan in that order.
Now : To add a little bit of seasoning I did as follows :
For flavour add some :
- Tumeric
- Chilli Powder
- Paprika Powder
- Cinnamon Powder
- Coconut Oil
Once your vegetables are adequately cooked. This goes down to your personal preference, but I like them done as if for a stir fry. You may begin the pie building.
I am sure experienced pie builders will roll their eyes at me, but this is how I did it.
Step 1. One layer of puff pastry on the bottom of the pie pan.
Step 2. Fill the pie pan with the delicious looking vegetables
Step 3. Cover it with a second sheet of puff pastry and stick together the edges with a fork like the pros do it.
Step 4. Do not forget to have preheated your oven earlier to 200degrees, as I always do, and leave the pie in the oven for 20 minutes or until the puff pastry looks nice and crispy.
Step 5: Cut up your pie and scrape the puff pastry off the bottom of the pie pan because you have no idea how to not make it stick, but It really does not matter, because the pie is magical.

Environment is a combination of living and non-living things. It may also be described as condition which has great impact on living organism such as Climate, atmosphere and weather condition. There are renewable and non- renewable resources available in environment.
Atmosphere: Earth is surrounded by gases which protect it from harmful rays of sun. There are five different layers in earth atmosphere i.e. Exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere and troposphere. It consist of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon and other inert gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapours etc.
Troposphere is the lowest layer of earth atmosphere. It extends form surface of earth with 7Km from pole and 17Km from equator. Troposphere is having high temperature in bottom layer and as altitude increases temperature decrease is measured. The layer between troposphere and stratosphere is called Tropopause which is 12km above the earth surface.
Stratosphere is the second layer of the earth atmosphere, its start above troposphere and extends till 50 to 55Kms. In stratosphere, it consists of most important layer of earth surface i.e. Ozone layer, which protect all living organism present in earth atmosphere. The temperature rise is usually seen in this layer due to the absorption of UV ray from sun.
Mesosphere is the third highest layer of the earth atmosphere, which is 80-85Km above the earth surface and 30-35Km above the stratosphere. At this attitude tiny water droplets forms into polar-mesospheric noctilucent clouds. Polar-mesospheric noctilucent clouds are the highest clouds which are present in atmosphere that can be seen by naked eyes at the time of sunset (i.e. 1 - 2 hrs after sunset) and sunrise (i.e. 1-2 hrs before sunrise).
Thermosphere starts above the mesosphere i.e. above 85km and extends till 690km. This layer is completely free from water vapour and clouds. But aurora borealis and aurora australis are occasionally seen in this layer. These are the natural lights which are formed sky and mainly seen in Arctic and Antarctic region .
Weather: Weather is a state of atmosphere with different condition such as some time it's like dryness, sunshine, windy, rainy, cloudiness, humidity, snow, fog, storms etc. These conditions are often seen in troposphere. Temperature differs from lower to higher altitude. Higher altitudes have cooler air than lower altitudes. It depends on climate condition in particular place and time of a region. Weather change can take place in shortest period of time i.e. like few hours . Human has attempted many time to control weather as per themselves and due to industrialization and urbanization, weather condition have been changed. And we have visual effect of pattern change in weather.
Climate: Climate differ from weather as weather is just for short period of time in a particular region whereas climate can be described as long term change in season.

PLA filament has been commonly used in situations that require prototypes, educational and architectural models, and artifact replicas built with ease and alacrity. This filament is also capable of being treated with a variety of post-processing techniques; it is a popular choice for users looking to paint objects after they have been printed, such as...
ABS prints can be sanded or smoothed using an advanced technique with acetone. With this technique, you can have ABS parts that are glossy and smooth, while simultaneously strengthening the parts themselves by binding the printed layers together. The material comes on a heavy-duty plastic reel and vacuum sealed to keep out any moisture.
Included in each kit is a SparkFun MOSFET Power Control PCB, two screw terminals (one 2-pin and one 3-pin), a 10k resistor, and a single RFP30N06LE MOSFET. What we really like about this particular MOSFET is that it's very common and offers very low on-resistance with a control (gate) voltage that is compatible with any 3-5V microcontroller or...
This is the Add-On kit for the SparkFun Digital Sandbox (DS) learning platform. With this add-on you will be able to perform the final three circuit experiments found in the DS Guide book which include making an electric musical instrument, telling a motor to spin as fast as you want, and controlling a servo.
Since Bridge prints cleanly and easily, you can print complex models that are ready to be used. The combination of strength, reduced shrinkage and ease in printing allows you to go from 3D model to 3D printed part ready to be installed. The material comes on a heavy-duty plastic reel and vacuum sealed to keep out any moisture.
Alloy 910 is among the strongest materials you can currently 3D print. When printed, it has a tensile strength of 8,500 PSI (58.6 MPa), making Alloy 910 almost as strong as polycarbonate but easier to manipulate, as it warps up to five times less.
This is the Cadillac of 3D printer filament and should be your go-to option for creating your most important prints! The material comes on a heavy-duty plastic reel and vacuum sealed to keep out any moisture.

BELLINGHAM — While John D'Onofrio and Todd Warger wish their new book had hit the stores with more time to spare before Christmas, they won't have to worry about it falling out of fashion anytime soon.
Their "Mount Baker" book is a new addition to Arcadia Publishing's familiar, sepia-toned "Images of America" series – paperbacks chock-full of photos about locales across the country.
Their book covers a wide range of topics, from early ascents and pioneer logging, to the Mount Baker gold rush starting in the late 1800s and the famous Mount Baker Marathon's three-year run from 1911 through 1913.
Other topics include Mount Baker Lodge, Hollywood movies made at the mountain, the rise of mountaineering and hiking clubs, and the contemporary scene with skiing and snowboarding.
Equally enticing are the book's more than 200 historic photos, many of which came from local families and collections, including – but certainly not limited to – Gordy Tweit, Michael Impero, Wes Gannaway, Margaret Hellyer, Sherman and Liz Ousdale, and Galen Biery's collection.
Through the book, many of the photos are gaining wide circulation for the first time, D'Onofrio said.
"The people who shared the photos were so excited to do so," he said. "It was good to be able to bring them all together into one place and with a coherent narrative."
D'Onofrio, the publisher of Adventures NW magazine, said he was contacted by Arcadia about possibly compiling a photo book on the history of Bellingham. He didn't feel like taking that on, but as an outdoors writer and photographer he immediately thought about Mount Baker and about Warger, who created "The Mountain Runners," a film about the Mount Baker Marathon.
So he contacted Warger and they agreed to work tag-team on the book, with D'Onofrio handling most of the writing and Warger tracking down most of the photographs.
"Mount Baker just holds a special place for me," D'Onofrio said. "Learning more about the human history just makes me feel like I know the mountain better."
There are other books about Mount Baker, but none that D'Onofrio or Warger could think of that cover the same breadth of topics with a hefty dose of photographs.
"It's a subject that hasn't been gone over a lot," Warger said.
And while Arcadia has published more than 8,000 titles, none of them focus on Whatcom County, until now.
"It's a cool addition to our local history," Warger said. "I'm very pleased with how it looks."
The book should keep local history and mountain lovers happy, at least until Warger finds a publisher for his recently finished book about the Mount Baker Marathon.

If you configure the Sharepoint Widget for IBM Connections as it is described in the Infocenter, then Communities which are migrated from IBM Connections 4.5 to 5.5 no longer show the Sharepoint Widget if one was configured in 4.5.
The reason is that in the documentation the widget ID has been renamed from "SharePointFiles" to "SharePoint Documents". From my point of view, they just wrongly switched the text for "defID" and "description".
So the documentation says:
<widgetDef defId="SharePoint Documents" description="SharePointFiles" ...
However, the correct definition should be:
<widgetDef defId="SharePointFiles" description="SharePoint Documents"
In the 4.5 environment of my customer, the widget ID was named like that and I am quite sure we had copied and pasted that from the 4.5 documentation in the past. So I guess that is just a typo in the documentation. I have told the responsible person for the documentation to check and, if necessary, correct it.

Although Las Vegas is generally associated with casino entertainments, this does not mean that it is not a place for a family holiday. Although children are not allowed inside casinos there are plenty of other things that families can enjoy doing together during the day as well as babysitting and entertainment packages that can give mum and dad some spare time in the evenings to enjoy some real casino action so there is no need to log into an online casino; even LuckyNuggetCasino.com isn't as good as the real thing.
The kids will want to join in with some of the in city entertainments and there is no shortage of theme parks and other entertainments top keep them happy. To make the best out of your location you should hire a car and go exploring as there is no shortage of wonderful places around Las Vegas to explore.
Deep within the Mojave Desert lays Death Valley, one of the most fascinating natural places in the world. There you will find Badwater Basin which is one of the lowest places on the planet, Furnace Creek which is the hottest, and the Badlands Formations which are best viewed from Zabriskie Point.
Another iconic place to visit from Las Vegas is the Grand Canyon. Carved over thousands of years by the Colorado River, this scar in the landscape stretches over 250 miles long, 18 miles wide and one mile deep. Once seen never forgotten, so inspire your kids with a visit to it. You can even take a plane trip to explore its depths.
For some beach type fun visit Lake Mead with its many beaches and marinas. You can hire a boat and spend a day on the water; take a picnic and explore some of its many islands and enjoy a swim in the clear waters from one of its beaches.

A fabulous method for increasing your writing output!
For many of us, the hardest part of writing is sitting down in front of the computer and opening the file that contains our work-in-progress. I struggled with this for years until I found the Club 100 method. Strategies such as Book In A Week paralyzed me. Overwhelmed by the intensity and high expectations, I just didn't write.
But then I found something that made all the difference. A method designed to support me for the marathon rather than the sprint. Club 100 is the brainchild of writer Avis Hester. The challenge is simple. Write at least 100 words a day for 100 days. You'll be surprised how quickly the pages add up, even if you're only meeting the minimum goal! And a total of 100 words is little more than a paragraph. Even on my worst, most hectic days, I'd be ashamed to admit I couldn't write one paragraph!
Keep track in a small calendar or notebook of your days and the amount you write. If you miss a day, you begin again. But somehow, when those days start piling up, you'll find a way to your keyboard by hook or by crook so you don't break your "string."
Some days I just meet the 100-word requirement. But other days, I find that once I'm into the book the writing just takes off and I'll emerge with two, five, even seven pages.
Some folks allow themselves one or two "flex days" per week. Others may take off weekends. In any case, your Club 100 guidelines should challenge you and make you stretch. They also should make you sit down to write on days when you could easily find excuses not to work on your book.
I've established a Club 100 e-mail list and you're welcome to join. Just click on the e-mail address below and we'll get you set up. The list is on YahooGroups and you may have to set up a personal profile there. If you don't want spam, make sure you go into the Marketing Preferences area and check the appropriate boxes.
The Club 100 list only has two rules. Respect yourself, and respect others. If you join, you'll find a welcoming, supportive community whose members all struggle with the daily discipline of writing.

"You are what you eat" is a phrase that we have heard for years and years. Although this message may be stale at this point, it does make sense logically. Without nourishment, we could not survive. The types of food we eat and don't eat can play a role in our energy, mood, sleep, and overall well-being. Food is such an essential part of living that, over time, our daily choices can influence health. In fact, poor diet has already been linked to obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, to name a few. But, could how you eat be more directly linked to your mortality? A recent study suggests that there may be a connection.

The study, titled "Association Between Dietary Factors and Mortality From Heart Disease, Stroke, and Type 2 Diabetes in the United States" and published in the American Journal of Medicine, concluded that in 2012, there were 702,308 cardiometabolic deaths in the United States, including those from heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Of those people, almost half of them (45.4 percent) had a suboptimal intake of certain nutrients. Diet seemed to be linked most strongly to mortality in men (48.6 percent), people between the ages of 25-34 (64.2 percent), African Americans (53.1 percent), and Hispanic people (50.0 percent).

Each of the dietary factors were assessed based on two 24-hour food recalls, and all dietary intake was adjusted for total calorie consumption to reduce measurement error. Self-reported demographics including, age, gender, race, ethnicity, and education were taken into consideration.

What the Study Tells Us

The goal of this study was to assess how individual dietary factors can influence cardiometabolic health. In the past, studies have been done on the intake of select dietary factors, such as sodium and sugar-sweetened beverages. This particular study focused on 10 individual dietary components as well as those that had overlap; for example, dietary fiber overlaps with intake of whole grains. Here are the 10 factors that were evaluated in the study:

Sodium

Nuts and seeds

Processed meat

Seafood omega 3 fatty acids

Vegetables

Fruit

Whole grains

Sugar-sweetened beverages

Polyunsaturated fat

Red meat (unprocessed)

The largest number of estimated diet-related cardiometabolic deaths, accounting for about 9.5 percent of deaths (66,508), was found in those with the highest sodium intake (more than 2000mg a day). The second spot, attributing to 8.5 percent of deaths (59,374), was low consumption of nuts and seeds (less than a handful a day). The following dietary factors listed in descending order attributed to mortality:

High processed meats: 8.2 percent of deaths (57,766)

Low seafood omega-3 fatty acids: 7.8 percent (54,626)

Low vegetable intake: 7.6 percent (53,410)

Low fruit intake: 7.5 percent (52,547)

High sugar-sweetened beverages: 7.4 percent (51,694)

Incorporating These Results Into Our Daily Lives

While we can't be certain that excess or inadequate intake of certain dietary factors caused the deaths, we do know that there is a correlation between healthy eating and healthy living. Because our diet is something that is within our control, it makes sense to eat more of the good stuff and less of the not-so-good stuff. Eating more unsalted nuts and seeds, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and omega 3 fatty acid rich seafood (ex: tuna and salmon) is something we should aim for. And limiting processed meats, red meat, sugar-sweetened beverages and salty foods (processed foods, fast food, fried foods) is important for overall health.

We can also conclude that there is no "one diet fits all" and that different dietary factors can affect each individual differently. In this particular study, the effects of the dietary factors varied based on age, gender, ethnicity, etc. For example, in adults over 65, eating too much much sodium and inadequate amounts of vegetables and nuts had a stronger connection to mortality than the other factors.

Limitations of the Study

As with any study, there are some limitations. The study's method of data collection (using observational data) cannot prove that changes in diet, such as an increase in omega 3 fatty acids or a reduced intake of sodium, can reduce disease risk or mortality. In addition, there are some criteria that may have skewed the results. For example, we don't know if the people who consumed high amounts of sodium had other non-healthy habits such as smoking and inactivity. These confounding factors could have affected the results. With all that taken into consideration, the results do show that there is a correlation or an association that is worth some scrutiny.

There Is Some Good News

The study concluded that we are seeing an improvement in dietary intake of certain nutrients. Researchers discovered that since 2002, there was a 26.5 percent drop in deaths from heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. They found an improvement in many of the dietary factors, the most significant of which was an increased intake in heart-healthy polyunsaturated fat (such as walnuts and flaxseed oil), as well as an increase in nuts and seeds and a reduction in sugar-sweetened beverages.

Although we are still lacking in certain areas of nutrition, we are starting to slowly adapt healthier eating habits. Perhaps we can use this study to further improve the diet of Americans. Now that we are starting to understand the importance of heart-healthy fats and reducing sugar, it's important for us to take a look at our sodium intake. Oftentimes food has hidden sources of sodium. For example, many people aren't aware that bread products, dairy products, condiments, and salad dressings are high in sodium. Here are some quick tips on how to reduce sodium intake in your diet:

Cook at home whenever possible—ordering takeout and going out for meals can increase your sodium intake significantly.

When cooking, season lightly with salt to bring out the food's natural flavor. If you can taste the salt in a food, it is too salty.

Use herbs and spices, like cumin, thyme, turmeric, paprika, basil, oregano, chili powder, parsley, etc. to flavor food.

Do not add salt to food after it has been prepared.

Limit intake of fast food, processed foods, and fried foods (frozen food, snack foods like crackers, boxed food, cold cuts).

Read labels—if a food contains more than 15 to 20 percent of the daily value for sodium, note that it is a high sodium food and should be eaten in moderation.

Snack on whole foods like unsalted nuts and seeds, fresh fruit and vegetables, and unsalted whole grain air-popped popcorn.

Kalashnikov's reversible digits
Are Kalashnikov's reversible digits the result of simple bureaucratic coincidence or was the bloody god of war fooled by a numerical pun?
In my (upcoming) thriller The Atlas Fracture, the bad guys are armed with assault rifles. And since they are bad guys, it's appropriate that they carry that icon of revolution, strife and chaos: the AK-47. Well known to Hollywood directors, military buffs, gun aficionados and banditos the world over as the high-powered, badass lingua franca of armed conflict, the AK-47 is instantly recognizable with its wooden stock, banana clip and wolfish, back-slanted gas tube assembly above the barrel. More of these assault rifes have been manufactured than any other model of killing machine. One estimate puts the total at more than 75 million AKs.
The designer of the AK-47 was Mikhail Kalashnikov, a tank driver in the 12th Soviet Tank Division. He was wounded in the WWII Battle of Bryansk in October 1941 during a period when the Soviet Army was reeling backward under the Nazi onslaught. While recovering, Kalashnikov heard Soviet soldiers complaining about their standard issue rifles. So he decided to design a new assault rifle. Kalashnikov's eventual post-World War II design was accepted by the Soviet Red Army and was designated the AK-47. It became a communist and third world legend.
Assault rifle design continued to evolve, however, and by the late 1960s the Soviets decided they needed a replacement for the AK-47. The 47 was tough, would fire even when slathered with mud and it had massive hitting power. But it wasn't tremendously accurate. So Kalashnikov designed a newer rifle with a smaller caliber bullet that could be put on target with more precision. And the designation for the new rifle? It was named the AK-74. A mirror name to the earlier AK-47 design. The two guns even looked the same.
Was there some reason for this mirror-image name?
Well, when he was a young man before he entered the army, Mikhail Kalashnikov loved to write poetry. He wanted to be a poet when he grew up. But "The Great Patriotic War" intervened. Given Mikhail's poetic leanings, did a silly sense of word play enter into the mirror names for Kalashnikov's deadly offspring? Only the now defunct Soviet Red Army Office of Weapons Procurement will ever know for sure.

THATTA, Pakistan, 11 October 2010 – There's a cruel irony that hangs over Pakistan's vast, tented camps in the wake of the country's devastating floods. While water is what damaged or destroyed nearly two million homes and affected the lives of more than 20 million people just weeks ago, today water exactly is what those people need most.
|VIDEO: UNICEF correspondent Anja Baron reports on efforts to supply safe water and sanitation to Pakistan's flood zone. Watch in RealPlayer
The flood emergency in Pakistan is far from over. While the waters have receded in some areas and thousands of families are returning home, there is often little or nothing for them to return to. Meanwhile UNICEF and its partners are working to provide the most essential services – including safe water and sanitation – to those who still cannot return home.
Families stranded
Shazia, 22, is a mother of five who arrived at a camp in Thatta, a town in Pakistan's southern-most province of Sindh, with her husband and her children more than a month ago. They are one of the more than 153,000 people in Sindh province alone that are currently being reached by UNICEF with safe water. Here in Thatta, the family receives its clean water at a UNICEF-supported water filtration plant.

|A woman washes clothes in the mid-day sun in a camp in Thatta, in Pakistan's southern province of Sindh.
Sitting close together on two small rope beds and shielded only by a thin sheet held up with sticks, Shazia, her husband Akbar and their children avoid the glaring heat of the mid-day sun.
"The land where we use to live is still covered with water as high as my shoulder, and our house is so damaged that we can't return," said Shazia. "I don't know when we will be able to go back."
Those whose homes are still flooded or have been destroyed beyond repair – often the poorest and most vulnerable families – have no choice but to remain here in the camps, on the roadside or wherever they have found shelter. In order to prevent the spread of disease, their most urgent needs now are clean water, good hygiene and proper sanitation.
Water is essential
The sprawling camps surrounding the town of Thatta are dry, dusty and strewn with the rubbish and waste of the thousands of people who now live here. Tents dot the arid desert landscape as far as the eye can see with only an occasional prickly bush as vegetation. Despite the end of summer, flies are everywhere and the heat is suffocating.
|© UNICEF Pakistan/2010/Zak
|Women and children draw water from a UNICEF-supported filtation plant in Thatta, a town in Pakistan's flood-affected Sindh province. A water storage bladder sits in the foreground.
Hopscotch squares are marked out in coal in the cramped spaces between the tents and some enterprising families sell handicrafts and bangles from makeshift shops in their tents. In most tents families store their meagre belongings – usually some blankets, a few pots and the clothes on their backs.
In each tent, however, one of the most precious items is the bucket, the jerrycan or the plastic bottles that store the water on which everyone's existence here depends.
Since the flooding began, UNICEF has been distributing these essential supplies to families across the country. But finding the water to fill them has been one of the emergency's core challenges: water must come from somewhere, and it has to be clean.
Millions reached, more in need
Here in Thatta, UNICEF and its partners have set up a water filtration site to clean water from a local canal. Women and girls line up at the plant several times a day to fill their containers. The filtration plant also distributes safe water to three large water bladders – huge plastic storage sacks – that are placed strategically across the camps.
|© UNICEF Pakistan/2010/Zak
|Children play marbles in the afternoon shade between the tents where they live with their families in Sindh province, Pakistan.
But people here are spread across a large area, and many remain unreached.
"We need more bladders," said Aftab Ahmed Tunio, who works with Muslim Aid, the UNICEF non-governmental partner that runs the filtration plant. "These women are walking one or two kilometres, maybe three to four times a day, to collect water for their families. We need to be able to bring the water closer to them," he said.
Across the flood-affected areas of Pakistan, UNICEF is providing safe drinking water to over 2.5 million people every day. But much more still needs to be done.
As the flood waters recede, funds are drying up. Less than half of the money UNICEF needs to sustain its efforts over the next 12 months has been received to date, with the largest chunk of this unmet funding set to improve the country's water, sanitation and hygiene situation. If Pakistan is to stave off a potential second wave of suffering, more help is urgently needed.

For America's Ballroom Challenge 2008! The show will air five Wednesdays in a row from January 30th through February 27th, 8-9 EST on PBS. This year there are two new hosts: replacing Marilu Henner and Tony Meredith are Jasmine Guy (remember her from The Cosby Show?) and many-times champ Ron Montez. If you've missed the past two years, each night of this show (filmed live at the Ohio Star Ball held in Columbus in November — probably the largest and most popular ballroom competition in the country) will consist of a different ballroom style danced at the American comps: American Smooth, American Rhythm, International Standard, and International Latin (woo hoo), and the final night will be a "best of the best" competition among the four winners of each style, dancing two unique solos.
To me, highlights this year will be Katusha Demidova in Standard dancing with her new partner, Arunas Bizokas, as well as the newly-crowned U.S. National champs in Smooth (the smashing JT Thomas & Tomasz Mielnicki) and Rhythm (Jose DeCamps & Joanna Zacharewicz; this category is always a huge show-down though thanks to DeCamps & Zacharewicz, and the wild and spectacular Emmanuel Pierre-Antoine & Julia Gortchakova). Unfortunately, we're not going to get a shot of my favorite Yulia Zagoruychenko in Latin, since she was, at the time of that competition, just beginning a new partnership. Still, watch Latin for longtime champs Andrei Gavriline & Elena Kruychkova and two couples who are solidly on the way up: Delyan Terziev & Boriana Deltcheva, and new favorites of mine: Vaidotas Skimelis & Jurga Pupelyte. I'll post again closer to January 30th in reminder, but for now, go here for deets. (It doesn't look the PBS channel is updated yet for this year's show, but once it is, it should be here).

Lucy Rose – Like I Used To
There has been a lot of talk recently about Lucy Rose being tipped as the new Laura Marling. Rose was signed to Colombia Records in May earlier this year having only released four singles prior, a great achievement in the world of nu-folk. The first time I had heard anything about the singer songwriter from Warwick was at Reading Festival where my friend convinced me to go and watch her set. Being a huge Laura Marling fan myself, I was a little hesitant to go and see Rose at first. However, I was instantly blown away by her beautifully simplistic style and her cute strawberry blonde bangs. There are definitely similarities between the two soloists but at the same time, they are unbelievably difficult to compare.
Rose's new album Like I Used To is like a Pandora's box of truth where every lyric holds pure elements of raw emotion and feeling. 'Lines' and 'Bikes' are the two most popular tracks on the album that have had numerous airplays with Fearne Cotton having described the tracks as, 'absolutely beautiful!' My favourite song has to be 'Night Bus' as it samples only the very basic of instrumentals creating an air of poignancy. Instead of Rose's angelic voice being swamped by drum beats and overbearing guitar riffs, a soft strumming from a guitar is intertwined. Another song that carefully demonstrates Rose's fragile voice is 'First'. Again, the track steers away from the use of brash melodies when accompanying Rose, highlighting her talented voice.
It is fair to say that Rose's career as a solo artist has really kicked off. I just want to say a big thank you to my friend for introducing me to such an influential female singer songwriter. Be sure to go and see Lucy Rose at Oxford's own Gathering Festival on October 20th, you will be far from disappointed, I assure you.

Vinyasa litereally (and only) means movement. There are external movements of body and internal movements of breath and when linking these movements together (inhale up, exhale down etc.) the movements of concioueness may be harnessed. this facilitates the upward movement of the three bandha. Movement is a universal aspect of nature and occurs on many levels simultaneously
"O yogi, do not do asana (posture) without vinyasa"
What is Vinyasa Tradition Practice?
The vinyasa in the traditional practice are variations on the theme of 'Suryanamaskara'. It is from this foundation that all other movements flow. The salute to the 'Sun' begins from samastithi (equal upright position). The practice of vinyasa means to come back to this equilibrium from each posture (or after the second side of a posture that has left or right) whether Standing, Sitting, Lying or Inverted. The equilibrium ofsamastithi implies both physical and mental balance.
What is Vinyasa flow yoga?
Vinyasa flow yoga is a style of yoga that concentrates on dynamic connecting postures that then create a flow between the more traditional poses. Through breath, the movement of the postures that are always done and are shared with special breathing called 'Ujjayi breathing' and the time of posture is held can be determined. The purpose of this style of yoga is to create heat within the body which then leads to sweating and ultimately purification of the body. Vinyasa flow can improve flexibility and strength with a reduced risk of injury
"Doing a shorter practice and doing it well (with awareness ) is far beneficial than doing a longer practice badly (with an over achieving mind-set)."

Re: Sorrow family in GA
Oh, Lordy, I had forgotten I had posted that! Sorry to leave everyone hanging. Here's what I've got, some of it anecdotal, some of it from the International Genealogical Index.
William Sorrowc.1730-1806
m. Sarah ______________
Their son, Samuel
m. Mary______________
Their son was Jesse Mercer Sorrow b. 1798
m. Sarah or Sally Johnson b. 1800
McKinzie "Mack" H. Sorrow
m. Sarah Elizabeth Gunter b. 1829
One of their daughters, Sarah Frances, was my grandmother's grandmother. My grandmother was named after both her grandmothers, so I assume Sarah Frances went by Frances.
Sarah Frances was born in 1865. She married Willis Houston Brooks. They had two children Emory Jesse and Ara. Ara never married, but my aunt tells tales that she used to make anatomically correct gingerbread boys. Emory Jesse married Ida Mae Wiggins, and the had a slew of kids, one of whom, was Frances Virginia a/k/a "Me-mama" to me. BTW, her bible shows McKinzie spelled "McKinsey."
Much of my data is on a very hard-to-read fax. I have a lot of trouble with hard documentation because I live on a small island in the North Pacific! I'd be happy to fax or e-mail more details to anyone who needs more siblings of these folks along the line! Thanks for being patient.

Who remembers this cute little face from November?
Bella is ready to make her debut here at green 3!
Bella (or LL Belladonna) is a Lagotto Romagnolo (Italian Water Dog). Written evidence places this breed in Romagna as early as the 1600 and throughout the 19th century. Aside from being a water dog the Lagotto was the breed of choice to hunt truffles between the two World Wars. Today the Lagotto Romagnolo is the only purebred dog in the world recognized as a specialized truffle hunter (AKC.org).
Bella participated in her 2nd photo shoot on Friday, May 9th where she modeled a couple dog sweaters for the 2014 Fall/Holiday line. A matching owner scarf will also be available so you can be as stylish as possible during your morning walks!
She spends most of her work days here at the office in the morning where she can watch over everyone and get her work done. Right away in the morning she must make the rounds and say good morning to each and every team member. She also alerts everyone when our UPS driver, Eric, is here with a delivery. Then in the afternoon she heads home for an afternoon nap and some R & R. Some work days she needs time away and visits her friends at Doggie Daycare for a day of fun and playtime (or the occasional grooming session).
Because Bella is a fashionable Italian, and now has experience as a model, she is looking to expand her role at Green 3. We are excited to announce her new position as Fashion Consultant. Bella will be tweeting her thoughts on upcoming Green 3 styles, colors, and trends. She also will weigh in on trends in the marketplace and in popular culture in general. Beginning Monday, June 9, 2014 you can follow her tweets on all these topics and more!

Are you aware of the fact that you're SUB-CONSCIOUSLY BLOCKING THE FLOW OF GOD'S GRACE and if you are, how do you allow your spirit to reconnect to the flow of power that keeps you in perfect peace? The subconscious mind is described as "of or concerning the part of the mind of which one is not fully aware but which influences one's actions and feelings. Scripture reminds us this way, "You (God) will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you (him)" (Isaiah 26:3: NIV).
Think about your attitude, behavior, lack of wisdom and lack of understanding; are you SUB-CONSCIOUSLY BLOCKING THE FLOW OF GOD'S GRACE.
Attitude is described as a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected is ones' behavior. Awareness or presence of the Holy Spirit is essential as to how you allow your attitude to be the dominant factor that controls your response to certain events in life; we are reminded in scripture, "Let nothing be done through strife or pride…let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus…he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death…" (Philippians 2:3-8 NKJV); by being mean-spirited; boastful, gossiper, backbiter, hateful attitudes toward others you may be SUBCONSCIOUSLY BLOCKING THE FLOW OF GOD'S GRACE; check the attitude.
Without wisdom and knowledge we approach life from "a blind side" therefore SUBCONSCIOUSLY BLOCKING THE FLOW OF GOD'S GRACE, it's like following a road without directions. For the Lord gives wisdom, from his mouth come knowledge and understanding (Proverbs 2:6: NKJV). When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul; discretion will preserve you, to deliver you from the ways of evil (10-11)…When you embrace your assignment in faith, know that God is within you and he will not lead you astray.
So my friends, if you are SUBCONSCIOUSLY BLOCKING THE FLOW OF GOD'S GRACE, renew, refill and move forth in your purpose, it's your gift, embrace it whole heartily. Your strength and power will be given at the time appointed, so don't lose hope.
"It's not the law of religion nor the principles of morality that define our highways and pathways to God; only by the Grace of God are we led and drawn, to God. It is His grace that conquers a multitude of flaws and in that grace, there is only favor. Favor is not achieved; favor is received."
― C. JoyBell C.

Thousands of vulnerable people with dementia and learning disabilities are being detained in hospitals and care homes without the appropriate checks, due to a law unfit for purpose according to the Law Commission.
Since a landmark legal case in 2014, which widened the definition of who was subject to the "Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards", local authorities have been under increased administrative pressures. As a result last year 100,000 people who required the authorisation did not receive it.
The Department of Health quickly recognised the issue, and asked the Law Commission – an independent body set up to reform the law – to review the legal framework to ensure suitable protections were in place.
Now in a new report published today, the Law Commission has offered its recommendations – proposing a new system designed to ensure that vulnerable people are no longer denied their rights.
Tim Spencer Lane, lawyer at the Law Commission and LexisNexis PSL Local Government Consulting Editorial Board member has prepared a detailed practice note summarising the Law Commission's report Mental Capacity and Deprivation of Liberty, published on 13 March 2017.
Before it's here, it's on Lexis®PSL. Click here to take a free trial.
The report (which includes a draft Bill) is the culmination of a 3 year review of the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards ("DoLS") under the Mental Capacity Act. The Law Commission's report calls for the DoLS to be replaced, and sets out a new scheme called the Liberty Protection Safeguards.
Background to the report
The Law Commission's review of the DoLS began in 2014 following a reference from the Department of Health. It was a response to a report by a House of Lords Select Committee which concluded that the DoLS legislation was "not fit for purpose", and to a decision of the Supreme Court (known as "Cheshire West") which gave a significantly wider interpretation of deprivation of liberty than had been previously applied.
In July 2015 the Law Commission published a consultation paper setting out provisional proposals for law reform. An interim statement was published in May 2016. The publication of the final report marks the completion of the review.
The case for reform
The Law Commission argues that there is a compelling case for replacing the DoLS. It refers to "widespread agreement" that the DoLS are overly technical and legalistic, and "too often fail to achieve any positive outcomes for the person concerned or their family". The report argues that the DoLS are not capable of dealing with the increased numbers of people considered to be deprived of their liberty following Cheshire West and requiring safeguards. It points to widespread reports of backlogs, breached statutory timescales and increased workloads for the public sector. The Law Commission therefore calls for the DoLS to be replaced "as a matter of pressing urgency".
The Liberty Protection Safeguards
The Law Commission's replacement scheme is called the Liberty Protection Safeguards. The following provides a brief overview of the key elements.
The arrangements that can be authorised
Whereas the DoLS only apply to hospitals and care homes, the Liberty Protection Safeguards would also apply to other settings, for instance supported living, shared lives and private and domestic settings. In fact the new scheme is not limited to specific forms of accommodation or residence; it encompasses any situation where Article 5(1)(e) is potentially engaged. Authorisations could be given to enable a person is to reside in one or more places, or to receive care or treatment at one or more places. The specific arrangements that may be authorised are:
- arrangements that a person is to reside in one or more particular places;
- arrangements that a person is to receive care or treatment at one or more particular places; and
- arrangements about the means by which and the manner in which a person can be transported to a particular place or between particular places.
16 and 17 year olds
Whereas the DoLS apply to those aged 18 and over, the Liberty Protection Safeguards would apply to people aged 16 and over. Currently, unless detention under the Mental Health Act is appropriate, a court application is required to authorise a deprivation of liberty of a 16 or 17 year old. The Law Commission argued that this situation is unnecessarily onerous and expensive for the State (especially NHS bodies and local authorities, which are often expected to bring cases to court), and potentially distressing for the young person and family concerned. The report also points to evidence that public authorities are not currently taking cases to court when they should.
The responsible body
The Liberty Protection Safeguards replaces the "supervisory body" with the "responsible body", which is charged with authorising arrangements that give rise to a deprivation of liberty. The Law Commissions argues that there should a stronger link between the commissioning of the arrangements and consideration of whether deprivation of liberty is justified. In other words, the body responsible for arranging care or treatment should (to the extent that this is practicable) be responsible for considering requests for authorisations, commissioning the required assessments and giving the authorisation.
The Liberty Protection Safeguards provides for the following three criteria to be applied to identify the responsible body in any case:
- if the arrangements are or proposed being carried out primarily in a hospital, the responsible body is the "hospital manager" (which would in most cases be the trust that manages the hospital in England or the local health board in Wales);
- otherwise, if the arrangements or proposed arrangements are being carried out primarily through the provision of NHS continuing health care, the responsible body is the relevant clinical commissioning group in England or local health board in Wales; and
- otherwise the responsible body is the "responsible local authority" (in most cases this will be the authority that is meeting the person's needs or in whose area the person is ordinarily resident).
The conditions for an authorisation
The Liberty Protection Safeguards set out the following conditions, which must be met in order for the responsible body to authorise arrangements:
- the person lacks capacity to consent to the arrangements which would give rise to a deprivation of the person's liberty
- a medical assessment has confirmed that the person is of unsound mind within the meaning of Article 5(4)(1)(e) of the ECHR)
- the arrangements are necessary and proportionate by having regard to the likelihood of harm to the person and/or other individuals if the arrangements were not in place and the seriousness of that harm;
- The required consultation has taken place (for instance with friends and family members)
- The authorisation would not conflict with a valid decision of a donee or a deputy as to where the person should reside or receive care or treatment.
Independent review
The Liberty Protection Safeguards require an "independent review" to be carried out in order to confirm that it is reasonable for the responsible body to conclude that the conditions for an authorisation are met, or (in certain cases) to refer the case to an Approved Mental Capacity Professional. No one who is involved in the day-to-day care or treatment of the person can act as the reviewer.
In cases which are not referred to an Approved Mental Capacity Professional the reviewer is required to certify personally that it is reasonable to conclude that the conditions for an authorisation are met. They must review the information available to the responsible body and determine whether or not the responsible body's decision to authorise arrangements is a reasonable one to come to on the basis of that information.
The Approved Mental Capacity Professional
The Approved Mental Capacity Professional is a new role which is intended to build upon the existing best interests assessor role.
The Liberty Protection Safeguards requires a referral to be made to an Approved Mental Capacity Professional if:
- it is reasonable to believe that the person does not wish to reside or receive care or treatment at a particular place; or
- the arrangements are regarded as necessary and proportionate wholly or mainly by reference to the likelihood and seriousness of harm to others.
In all other cases there would be a power to refer cases to an Approved Mental Capacity Professional.
The Approved Mental Capacity Professional's role is to determine whether or not to approve the arrangements. They must meet with the person, and can consult other key individuals. The written approval of the Approved Mental Capacity Professional would enable the authorisation of arrangements by the responsible body. The Approved Mental Capacity Professional's cannot be someone whis involved in the day-to-day care or treatment of the person.
Local authorities would be responsible for the approval and ensuring there are sufficient numbers of Approved Mental Capacity Professionals. A regulation-making power allows, amongst other things, bodies such as the HCPC to be prescribed to approve courses for Approved Mental Capacity Professionals. The draft Bill does not specify which professionals could or could not undertake the new role; this would be a matter for the Governments.
The Liberty Protection Safeguards aim to put Approved Mental Capacity Professionals in a similar position to Approved Mental Health Professionals. They would act "on behalf" of the local authority but would be independent decision-makers who could not be directed to make a particular decision.
The authorisation
An authorisation can have effect immediately, or up to 28 days later.
The responsible body must produce an "authorisation record" which must include matters such as details of the arrangements authorised.
An authorisation does not provide statutory authority to deprive a person of their liberty; instead, a new section 4AA of the Mental Capacity Act would simply provide a defence to civil or criminal liability in respect of acts done pursuant to an authorisation.
An authorisation can last for an initial period of up to 12 months and can be renewed for a second period of up to 12 months and thereafter for periods of up to three years.
A responsible body can renew an authorisation, rather than initiating a fresh authorisation, if it reasonably believes that:
- the person continues to lacks capacity to consent to the arrangements;
- the person continues to be of unsound mind; and
- the arrangements continue to be necessary and proportionate.
An authorisation ceases to have effect (before the expiry date) if the responsible body if it knows or ought reasonably to suspect that:
- the person has, or has regained capacity, to consent to the arrangements;
- the person is no longer of unsound mind; or
- the arrangements are no longer necessary and proportionate.
However, in the case of people with fluctuating capacity, the Liberty Protection Safeguards enable arrangements to remain in place during limited periods of capacity to consent or object to the arrangements, provided that:
- the periods of capacity are likely to last only for a short period of time,
- the person remains at all times "of unsound mind" for the purposes of Article 5, and
- the authorisation of arrangements remains necessary and proportionate.
Reviews of an authorisation
The responsible body must set out in the authorisation record the fixed dates or prescribed intervals for reviews. The responsible body is required to keep an authorisation under review generally, therefore putting it in a position to undertake a review at any time in between the planned review dates if circumstances change. There would be a duty to hold a review:
- on a reasonable request by a person with an interest in the arrangements which are authorised;
- if the person becomes subject to the Mental Health Act; or
- if the responsible body becomes aware of a significant change in the person's condition or circumstances.
Rights to advocacy and an appropriate person
Under the Liberty Protection Safeguards there is a duty to appoint an advocate unless there is an appropriate person to represent and support the person to whom the arrangements would apply. This duty applies when the responsible body is proposing to authorise arrangments.
An "appropriate person" cannot be someone who is engaged in providing care or treatment to the person in a professional capacity or for remuneration. The appropriate person must be appointed to act as such unless they do not consent, or the person whom they would represent and support does not consent or (if that person lacks capacity to give or withhold consent) it would not be in their best interests to be represented or supported by that other person. The appropriate person has a right to advocacy support.
If there is no appropriate person, an Independent Mental Capacity Advocate must be appointed. Under the draft Bill, the responsible body must appoint an advocate unless the person does not consent, or (if the person lacks capacity to consent) unless being represented by an advocate would not be in the person's best interests. This is intended to ensure that advocacy is provided automatically and on an opt-out rather than an opt-in basis.
Rights of legal challenge
Under the Liberty Protection Safeguards the right of legal challenge is to the Court of Protection. But the Law Commission further recommends that the Government should review this matter (as part of its existing programme of reform) and consider whether a tribunal might be more effective.
The draft Bill gives the Government regulation-making powers to require bodies to monitor and report on the operation of the new scheme (such as the CQC and Ofsted). The regulations could be used to allow visits of certain types of institutions, more frequent visits in some cases, and "light-touch" forms of regulation in certain settings.
Mental Health Act interface
The report urges the Government to review mental health law in England and Wales with a view to the possible introduction of mental capacity-based care and treatment for mental as well as physical disorders ("fusion law"). In lieu of this, the draft Bill provides that the Liberty Protection Safeguards cannot be used:
- to authorise arrangements carried out in hospital for the purpose of assessing or treating mental disorder, and
- to authorise arrangements which are inconsistent with any requirement under one of the "community powers of the Mental Health Act (such as guardianship or a community treatment order)
Wider reforms of the Mental Capacity Act
The draft bill includes wider reforms to the Mental Capacity Act. These reforms are intended to provide Article 8 rights and improve decision-making under the Mental Capacity Act – regardless of whether a person is being deprived of their liberty. The draft Bill contains three reforms in this respect:
- The best interests checklist in section 4 of the Act is amended to require greater weight to be given to ascertainable wishes and feelings.
- The statutory defence under section 5 of the Act would not be available to professionals in respect of certain key decisions unless a written record has been prepared, which confirms a number of matters, for example that a formal capacity assessment has been undertaken and rights to advocacy have been given effect.
- The Government is given regulation-making powers to establish a supported decision-making scheme.
Advance consent
The draft Bill would enable a person to give advance consent to specified arrangements that would (but for that consent) give rise to a deprivation of liberty. If advance consent is given, the arrangements would not amount to a deprivation of liberty and therefore the Liberty Protection Safeguards would not apply.
The person must clearly articulate the particular arrangements to which they are consenting. In line with the law on advance decisions to refuse treatment, advance consent would remain valid unless:
- the person withdraws their consent when they have capacity to do so;
- there are reasonable grounds to believe that circumstances exist which the person did not anticipate at the time of giving the advance consent and which would have affected their decision had he or she anticipated them; or
- the person does anything else clearly inconsistent with the advance consent remaining their fixed decision.
Interim and emergency deprivation of liberty
The Law Commission's intention is to bring forward formal consideration of the justification for a deprivation of liberty so that it occurs before the arrangements are made, rather than only afterwards. The DoLS system of urgent authorisations is therefore abolished. Instead, the draft Bill gives statutory authority to deprive someone of liberty temporarily in truly urgent situations and in sudden emergencies, but only to enable life-sustaining treatment or to prevent a serious deterioration in the person's condition. Apart from those cases, it would not be permissible to impose a deprivation of liberty on someone until the proposed arrangements have been authorised.
Unlawful deprivation of liberty
The draft Bill provides that where care or treatment arrangements are put in place by, or on behalf of, a "private care provider" (defined as, broadly speaking, the managers of private care homes and independent hospitals) which give rise to a deprivation of liberty (and have not been authorised), the person may bring civil proceedings against the provider. The provider would not be liable if it reasonably believed that the arrangements did not give rise to a deprivation of liberty or the deprivation of liberty was authorised.
The draft Bill would amend the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 to provide that the duty to hold an inquest would not apply automatically to people subject to the Liberty Protection Safeguards. The Law Commission also recommends there be additional safeguards in place when a death is attributed to a lack of care.
Practical impact of reform
- local authority social care practice – the local authority would no longer be responsible for all authorisations. The NHS would be a responsible body in certain cases (ie hospital and NHS continuing health care cases). The local authority would be responsible for approving Approved Mental Capacity Professionals
- SEN provision post 16 if the placement is residential – The Liberty Protection Safeguards can authorise arrangements which give rise to a deprivation of liberty for 16 and 17 year olds. It would therefore no longer be necessary to apply to the Court of Protection in such cases.
- Patients and service users – in most cases, a deprivation of liberty can only be authorised before the person can be deprived of their liberty rather than afterwards. There would continue to be rights to advocacy, regular reviews and access a court.
- Families – Families must be consulted before an authorisation can be given. Family members can also act as the appropriate person if they wish to do so. Families can also trigger reviews of the authorisation and access to a court.
- Catastrophic injury claims – If a lawyer is aware that the person's care or treatment arrangements may amount to a deprivation of liberty, they could request that an authorisation is given by the responsible body, rather than having to take the case to court.
