Biggest European Gambling Capital – Glasgow
Well this came as a surprise to me. Although I have visited a couple of Glaswegian casinos in recent years however for a new survey to announce that Glasgow is the gambling capital of Europe was rather unexpected. The reason I'd never considered it, is because I still think of gambling in a fairly traditional way – visiting a casino for a night out or playing standard casino games online. The reality is that at least in the UK the real money is in those nasty little 'fixed odds' machines that sit in Bookmakers on the high street.
Why the Biggest European Gambling Capital is Glasgow
I've never liked these simply because everything about them is designed to simply suck money out of the person playing them. The high stakes, the extremely fast pace and the hypnotic flashing lights. However this study which covered 2400 gamblers across Europe revealed that they are hugely popular in Scotland and Glasgow in particular. In fact one in five Scottish males play online roulette using these fixed odd terminals. Perhaps at this point we should clarify the title, Glasgow is one of the top gambling cities by revenue at least in Europe. Obviously it doesn't include casino destinations in Asia and of course the USA.
That's a huge and worrying statistic as these machines are arguably the worst and most addictive forms of gambling you can engage in. in Glasgow alone more that £200 million is bet on these and slot machines. Get this – the gamblers in Scotland lost an average of £1683 each year, through these machines alone. It's a huge amount and doesn't even cover other forms of gambling which are also likely to be very popular in Scotland too.
These machines are incredibly addictive and they are designed on the back of decades of research on fruit and slot machines. The lights encourage and stimulate, whilst the high speed of play and the costs of spins means you can literally lose a fortune in a very short time. Many people lose everything playing these boxes easily accessible on our high streets – they are not the smartest way to play roulette. Gambling charities are always trying to highlight the risks of these games, people regularly lose everything playing them.
Playing roulette can be a relaxing an enjoyable pastime, but it should be played in moderation. I always prefer visiting a casino simply because of the social aspect to the activity too. Obviously you do miss out on some of the internet advantages but it's worth reading this post – Are Online Bonuses Worth it, if you think you're getting a better deal. Also remember if you're playing online it's much safer to avoid the slots and automated roulette games because they play too quickly meaning you can churn through cash much more easily.
There's now quite a few real online casino games which involve a video stream, real croupier and wheel rather an electronic one. My personal preference is Betfair simply because it's not purely an internet casino – you play a live game using a real croupier. They are one of the world's biggest betting companies so you know you're safe and playing a fair game.
Bellagio Quartet in $1 Million Scam
An amazing yet ultimately very simple crime has just hit the court in Las vegas, involving two former casino croupiers and two of their friends. Together they managed to siphon more than a million dollars off craps tables from the Bellagio casino on the Las Vegas strip. However this didn't involve playing roulette but a very specific table game well known for it's fast pace and sometimes confusing gameplay.
James Cooper Jr. and Mark William Branco were both fired from the Bellagio when the scheme came to light and were later arrested. They were named with two other co-defendants with charges which included cheating at gambling and theft, which are extremely serious crimes in Nevada for obvious reasons. If found guilty they could end up with decades in prison for their offences.
Their particular scam involved the two dealers accepting late or marginal bets and then paying out to their friends. They deliberately chose their times and made it difficult for supervisors to spot what was happening. They chose small and insignificant bets which were also unlikely to be detected easily. Thefts from casinos like this are actually very common with hundreds being arrested each year. However this quartet, kept their scheme running for over two years which is very unusual.
The scam was manipulated with such care and precision that it was only a chance that a colleague noticed something was awry and informed his supervisors, who informed the casino investigators. The investigators then spent some time reviewing security footage, analysing the employees financial records, watching them at work and interviewing colleagues.
It soon became apparent that their accomplices were making wagers after the outcome was known and then paying them out without question. Other situations were placing bets on margins without clarifying the positions so that it was unclear about who had won.

Eternal presence
Eternal presence
Heard melodies are sweet/but those unheard are sweeter.
I was in Paris this past fall, leading a group of people, which left me no room to bring a dog along. Yet the empty seat beside me on the plane where so often I'd slip my friend, lifting him or her up from the mesh travel bag stowed beneath the seat before me was, in its vacancy, full. So too was the spot under the chestnut trees where we stood and I gazed up at the two-toned leaves and she sniffed for other dogs' marks. There was the little plastic container by the toilets that read "aux chiens" and was for "les chiens" to drink. And in my solitude, surrounded by hundreds of people strolling the same gardens I loved, I listened to the bells of St. Sulpice toll. These places and spaces were for me not hollow places filled only by sadness or longing, but rather by presence—the absence of my friends poignant, but my heart connected even more to their spirits—whether their physical bodies were still living or dead.
As I led my human group, explaining to them the city I love, I was humbled by history (and a bit overwhelmed). But I see now, although I've been either a student or teacher for the past forty-two years, my best teacher has not been the classroom or even my beloved books; my best teacher has always been life itself. And of course—full circle—my dogs. What my dogs teach me is simple. What they teach me is to stop talking and just listen. Be aware. And in Paris I was acutely aware of this and the beautiful absence so filled with their presence.
Over time my classroom has enlarged to include not only the wisdom of my patient friends and teachers, my dogs, but also my family, my friends, and my colleagues. My classroom has enlarged to include the wisdom of the trees and the rocks, the wisdom of sorrow and pain and of letting go; the wisdom of laughter, joy, peace, acceptance and simple presence.
Thank you, my dogs.

Scripture: I Samuel 18:1–9, 19:1–7, 20:1–42; Proverbs 19:4–6, 27:6–10; John 15:13
Memory verse: Proverbs 17:17
"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity."
Ask the students why they like to be around their close friends. Guide the discussion to the idea that friends have similar likes and dislikes. Stress that many times we pick up traits and habits from our friends because we spend a lot of time with them. We become identified with the people with whom we associate. This can be either good or bad.
Stress the importance of being careful when choosing friends. Explain to the students that today's study describes true friendship qualities to look for in others and to develop themselves.
Hearing God's Word
Take a few moments to think about your best friend.
Ask: "What qualities or characteristics about that person make him or her special friend?" (Allow responses.)
(Ask the students to name some important characteristics of their friends. List these on the chalkboard.)
Put yourself in another person's place. Think about your own personality from that person's point of view. Then ask yourself, "What qualities or characteristics do I have that would make others want to be my friend?" (Allow response.)
Sometimes our view of friendship is a bit one-sided. We tend to think only of what qualities we want others to have and how we want them to treat us. It is important to realise that a good friendship requires two people. We should not expect others to treat us kindly and fairly if we are not willing to do the same to them.
True Friends are a Blessing
God's Word has some important things to say about friends and friendship. This week's memory verse touches on one important quality a friend should have. "A friend loves at all times" (Proverbs 17:17). (Recite the verse with the class.)
Solomon, in his God-given wisdom, recognized that a real friend is someone who will stick by you no matter what happens. A true friend is loyal during the good times and the bad.
Friends Who Come and Go
Some people call themselves "friends" as long as everything is going great, but they disappear when trouble comes. These are "come and go" friends. They are great friends as long as things are going well, but if you start going through a hard time, they are nowhere to be found.
Remember the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11–32). He had a lot of fun as long as his money lasted. He probably had more "friends" than he could count. But what happened when all his money was spent? (Ask a student to read Luke 15:16.) He had no friends! He had no one who was willing to help him get out of the mess he had gotten himself into. His "friends" liked him only as long as he had money to spend.
This is exactly what Solomon was referring to when he wrote Proverbs 19:4, 6. (Ask a student to read these verses aloud.) Everyone likes to be around someone who buys them gifts or spend money on them. However, friends who have to be bought are not really friends.
The Price of Popularity
Money is not always the issue in friendships. Other things can affect a friendship just as much. Popularity is one of these.
Popularity can be expensive. The desire to be well-liked and accepted by others at school can be very intense. Some students are willing to do almost anything to stay popular, even if it means doing things they know are wrong. Some students are afraid that if they do not do those things, they will not be liked. Often, when a student becomes popular, he will quickly abandon old friends because they are not in the popular group. He associates only with people who help his new "image."
Think about this: If your friends reject you for doing what is right, they are not really worth having as friends. A true friend will not want you to do wrong. True friends stick with you at all times. (Say the memory verse again.)
Friendship Versus Our Testimony
As Christians, we have an obligation to God and to others to take a stand for what we know is right, regardless of what others think or do. When we do take a stand, others will have greater respect for us, even if they do not say so out loud. If we go along with wrong things others are doing and show no concern for our Christian witness, people will assume our relationship with Jesus is not important. They will not feel the need to serve God if we treat our salvation lightly. We need to show the importance of our relationship with God by doing and saying things that please God.
A true friend will stand by you and your beliefs. You may be rejected and hurt by others, but as long as you have a friend who will stand with you, the situation will not seem nearly so bad. Do you have a friend like that? Are you that kind of friend to someone else?
Jesus is that kind of friend. The Bible says He will never leave you. If you have Jesus in your life, you will never stand alone. Even if it seems everyone else has forgotten you, Jesus is always with you.
Loving Correction
Solomon wrote some unusual words in Proverbs 27:6 that reveal another important part of friendship. He wrote, "Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses."
Ask: "What do you suppose Solomon meant by that?" (Allow responses.)
The word wounds can also be translated "scolding, rebukes or criticisms." Solomon meant that a true friend will scold us when we need correction, when we have done wrong, and it may hurt us for a moment. Later, however, we will probably find that their correction has helped us. When a friend, because he cares about us, points out a sin we have committed, it can help us make needed changes in our lives. We need to be willing to listen to those who care about us. Sometimes they can see faults we may not notice.
In that same proverb, Solomon also warns us to beware of those who shower us with "kisses" or flattery, but who are really trying to take advantage of us. Some people pretend to be our friends just to get something from us. Once they get what they want, they are no longer our friends. A true friend is completely trustworthy. He will not be our friend because of wrong motives.
An Example of Friendship
The Bible tells about a wonderful friendship—David and Jonathan. In many ways their friendship is a model for all of us to follow. Let us think about some of the reasons this friendship was such a good one.
David spent much of his early life out in the fields taking care of his father's sheep. Jonathan, on the other hand, was a prince. His father, King Saul, ruled over all of Israel. Jonathan could have easily started to think he was better than David. After all, Jonathan could have associated with anyone he wanted.
Before he met Jonathan, David had helped Israel's army by defeating Goliath.
Ask: "Can anyone remember how David killed Goliath?" (Allow responses.)
Shortly after defeating Goliath, David received more honours. (Ask a student to read 1 Samuel 18:5–7.) These things made David a well-known and respected military leader. How did this affect Saul's feelings toward David? (Ask a student to read 1 Samuel 18:8, 9.)
Ask: "How could this have affected Jonathan's feelings toward David?" (Allow responses.)
Jonathan was Saul's oldest son. This meant that he was entitled to become king after his father's death. Jonathan could have felt threatened by David. As his friendship with David grew, Jonathan must have sensed that God had specially appointed David to lead the nation of Israel. Did this affect their friendship? Jealousy or hard feelings between David and Jonathan are not indicated in the Bible. David and Jonathan's friendship was based on sincere love, respect, and admiration. So deep was their friendship that they were willing to risk their lives for each other.
What did Jesus have to say about this kind of relationship? (Ask a student to read John 15:13.)
Accepting God's Word
A good step toward developing lasting friendships is having a right relationship with the greatest Friend of all—Jesus Christ. He is a model of what a friend should be. Jesus cares so much about us that He was willing to die so we could have our sins forgiven. If we have accepted Him as our Saviour and Lord, He is always with us. He is our best Friend. He is the best Friend anyone could ever have.
Hui Food and Drink
The Hui people prefer wheat-based food to rice-based food. Noodles are a staple food of the Hui, and they make various dishes out of wheat flour. Sweets play an important role, probably related to Arabian Muslims' preference for a sweet taste. Under the Islamic influence, the consumption of beef and mutton in their diet is large, and the meat of pigs, dogs, horses, donkeys, mules, and beasts of prey is forbidden. The Hui are forbidden to eat pork, but that prohibition is often overlooked by calling the meat "mutton."
The Hui people are particular about beverages. They only drink water from a flowing or clean source. It is not acceptable for people to take a bath, wash clothes or pour dirty water around sources of drinking water. The Hui people also like to drink tea and use it as a treat for their guests.
Pray for Dedicated Workers
1. Hui believers commit to living a godly life in every circumstance,
2. Holy Spirit to urge believing youth to offer themselves for service among the Hui,
3. Messengers willing to go to the Hui even if it means suffering and persecution for preaching the gospel among them.
Prayer Promise
"I urge you ...to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God" (Romans 12:1).
Remember: BE FRIENDLY
Memory verse: Proverbs 17:17
"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity."
1. Everyone needs a good friend.
2. Jesus is my best friend.
3. I will model the values of Jesus to my friends.
Pray for Chinese workers in my country to meet a true believer in Christ.

Presenteeism is both important and somewhat misunderstood. In practice, the term seems to be associated with at least three different meanings. One of these refers to people attending work even though they are sick, which is quite common. Many people will still attend work when they have a cold or perhaps an ongoing health condition such as a migraine or hay fever.
Generally, when people are sick they perform less effectively. For example, the results below show the loss of productivity associated with some of the common forms of illness that do not always prevent people from working.
|Average productivity loss*
|Seasonal allergies/Allergic Rhinitis/Hay fever
Source: Hemp, P Harvard Business Review, 2004
The second meaning for presenteeism concerns putting in long hours but not actually working all of the time, or leading people to believe that you are working (e.g. leaving a jacket on the back of a chair) – sometimes referred to as putting in "face time". The third meaning involves working at a reduced level because of other distractions, such as browsing the internet or playing games online.
Presenteeism costs
As far as research on presenteeism is concerned it is the first type of presenteeism, "sickness presenteeism", which has received the most attention. Sickness presenteeism due to psychological problems seems to be a particular problem and some reports have estimated that the costs of presenteeism are greater than those due to sickness absence. The Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health (Undated) has estimated that in the UK in 2006, presenteeism, based on psychological health problems, accounted for 1.5 times as much working time lost as absenteeism, and costs more to employers because it is more common among higher-paid staff. They also estimated that the average cost of psychological health problems per average employee was £1,000 pa – with sickness absence accounting for 32% of this and presenteeism 58%.
Presenteeism statistics
There is little doubt that presenteeism is quite widespread. The table below shows some prevalence data for presenteeism that we have collected at Robertson Cooper from a sample of nearly 40,000 employees in the UK.
|Health "Good"
|Health "Not good"
|No absences
|35%(Healthy & present)
|28% (Presentees)
|Some absences
|13% (Healthy but not always present)
|24% (Unhealthy and not always present)
Some 28% (about 11,000 people) reported some degree of presenteeism. Levels of presenteeism are associated with a number of other factors and further analysis of the results from the sample above showed, that for people who report poorer than average levels of psychological wellbeing, presenteeism is even higher (38%).

This summer I visited the Isle of Harris – the home of Harris tweed where I saw an excellent example of an established creative economy that is a driver for the overall economy. Harris Tweed is woven on foot peddal looms in the homes or studios of weavers on the Isle of Harris. Many weave traditional designs expressly for the bureau. Several are independent designers and are able to also weave their own designs. These independent designs are sanctioned by the bureau before they are ready for Prime Time.
Each tweed is certified and the fabric comes with a number of authentic labels. I selected one tweed from independent designer, Rebecca Hutton of Taobh Tuath Tweeds that is inspired by the "machair", the undergrowth on the Island plain. The colors in the tweed change as it moves through various lights.
I also selected 2 traditional tweeds, pictured here next to the machair. I elected to felt these two. The images on the bottom are the raw tweeds. Images on the top are felted. I began the felting by hand and then did finish in the washer dryer. These two tweeds have a lovely hand.
Limited pairs of mules are available in each of the 3 tweeds. Order between October 1 -10 for delivery by November 15th.

Hackers could use 'smart home' tools like Amazon's Alexa or Google Home to empty your bank account, expert warns
The tech helps us shop online but experts could also be under control of crooks
HACKERS may use voice assistants such as Amazon's Echo to raid bank accounts, according to experts.
The gizmos help us shop online, keep diaries and turn on devices in the home.
They listen continuously and record once they hear control words such as Echo's "Alexa".
Dr Jason Nurse, from the University of Oxford, fears crooks could make them record all the time — without owners knowing.
The cybersecurity expert said it will only be a matter of time before criminals find a way to hack the devices, which sell for as little as £49.99.
He said: "They could hear holiday plans and credit card details.
"There is also a risk a kid may tell Alexa to turn on the oven, leading to a fire. I wouldn't have them at home. I'm sceptical of what they're recording.
"Self-driving cars, webcams, smart phones, ovens and baby monitors have already been hacked.
"It's only a matter of time before hackers target voice assistants too."
But other speakers at the Cheltenham Science Festival will say Echo, above, could soon be adapted to help the elderly by alerting carers to strange noises.
Amazon said: "We have taken measures to make Echo secure."

The last time I was in Corolla, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I was there to run the Currituck Wild Goose Chase 5k Donut Dash. The donut dash, which started and ended at the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, was a race with donut stations sprinkled throughout the course. For each donut a runner ate, time was taken off the runner's final result. Eat enough donuts and, technically, a runner could finished before they started.
Feeling nostalgic, Mr. History Tourist and I made a return visit to the Outer Banks last week, for the first time in five years. When our children were small and we had two large dogs, Mr. History Tourist and I spent our summer holidays on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We'd rent a large house on the water in Nags Head, and wander the wildlife refuges, kayak the sound, swim in the ocean and sit on the deck, just watching the birds fly by. We stopped going after about 15 summers, when our kids grew up and our dogs passed away, and we were free to choose destinations that weren't as child and dog friendly.
Like Charleston, I've written a lot about the Outer Banks over the years. But I managed to eek out a few new experiences for the blog, starting with a stay in Corolla. Corolla is on the northern end of the Outer Banks, about 10 miles from the Virginia border. We'd always included a day trip to Corolla during our Outer Banks visits, but we never over-nighted there.
This time, we spent two nights in a (let's all say it together) Hampton Inn on the beach. It was a lovely property and our room, on the second floor on the far left of the photo below, had a lovely ocean view.
My favorite spot in Corolla is Currituck Heritage Park, a 40 acre property that's home to the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, the Historic Whalehead Club house museum (in the photo below, taken from the top of the lighthouse), and the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education.
I'd toured Whalehead before, and written about it, so I didn't go in again. Plus, they don't allow photos taken inside so it's useless from a blogging standpoint. It's been restored to its stunning 1920s art nouveau self, though, so worth the visit if you ever have the chance.
The Currituck Beach Lighthouse is half way between two older lighthouses — Cape Henry Lighthouse near Virginia Beach, Virginia to the north, and the Bodie Island Lighthouse to the south. Fifty-six ships would be lost in the dark expanse between Cape Henry and Bodie in the mid 19th century, before the powers-that-be got the hint and the Currituck lighthouse was commissioned in 1875.
The Donut Dash taught me that doughnuts and running don't mix. Too queasy to drive back to our Nags Head rental house after my 4 doughnut run, we decided to climb the lighthouse. It was 220 steps to the top.
We climbed it again this time. It's a lot easier without a stomach full of fried, sugared dough.
Adjacent to the park is Historic Corolla Village, a cluster of cute little houses that have been turned into retail space. I'd highly recommend the Corolla Village Market, which is a cooperative featuring about 60 local artists. I did most of my souvenir shopping there.

Lirac Wine
The wines of Lirac are less celebrated than their Southern Rhône siblings and are worthy of wider recognition but the great thing for wine consumers is that they remain inordinately good value with a 'très bon rapport qualité-prix'.
Richard Maby is a savvy and skilled wine-maker who is pursuing a strategy of pragmatic modernisation at this renowned, family-run estate. Richard does not want to radically alter the style of the domaine's wines from those that his father and grandfather produced but he is keen to invest in new equipment and maximise the qualitative potential of every vintage.
Domaine Maby is a great one-stop-shop for wine buyers as they produce excellent white, rosé and red Lirac as well as a terrific Tavel. The Lirac 'La Fermade' blanc is made from a blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Viognier and Picpoul fermented and vinified in stainlees steel. It is zesty and dry with attractive wild flower aromas and subtle orchard fruit flavours that works well as an aperitif or partner to seafood. The Lirac rosé is made from 70% Cinsault and 30% Grenache Noir and is a pretty brick-pink colour. It is more full-bodied than many rosés, with a bouquet of bright berry fruit and some spice and earth undertones on the palate and can be paired with a broad variety of foods from salmon to charcuterie.
Richard's red Lirac is a failsafe, chest-thumping, crowd-pleaser. Blended from Grenache Noir, Syrah and Mourvèdre, it has satisfying scents of red fruit and a concentrated palate of dark plums and cherries with well integrated ripe tannins. It drinks well from bottling but punches well above its modest price tag and can take 5 years bottle-age in its stride.

Thor's Workbench: Chaos Lord Soulgore – WIP #1
I've actually done a few prior WIPs of this model I've been working on forever but this is the first time it's actually taken shape where I'm happy with it. Soulgore is my Chaos Lord who rides a Juggernaut of Khorne, however, where I play an undivided Chaos warband I wanted something that wasn't god specific. Instead he rides a bull, as you'll see below.
Originally I thought I could pull off creating riding legs from standard legs, with some work of course, but I quickly found out it was not going to work. Well, more like it wasn't worth the effort when I could work off something already posed correctly. Khorne Inquisitor was nice enough to give me some Warriors of Chaos sprues with a rider.
Using these legs was a HUGE time saver. I'm also a fan of the Chaos fantasy line and like the blend of fantasy and 40K, though I know some do not. I had to do some green stuff work to fill gaps mostly since the bull's back is pointed. Right now the torso is just blue tacked on there and later I'll need to green stuff the chain mail to meet the torso since the torso is a hair smaller than the fantasy one.
With this part mostly done I finally feel like the model is getting somewhere. I'll likely do some green stuff work to detail the model some more and make it more Lord-like.
Update: You can see the model completed in my Chaos Lord Soulgore showcase.
9 Join the Discussion!
It looks awesome. They say the devil is in the details, and you nail those. I like how the saddle is seamlessly integrated via greenstuff, again showing how smooth and seamless your greenstuff work is.
Your sculpting skills have come leaps and bounds over the last year. Looking cool and unique, much better than the standard Juggernaut(even though it is a cool model).
Is the entire Lord going to be more Fantasy Chaos or are you going to make it CSM?
I gotta say it man. I have been excited about this project your working on for chaos the most. I know the helldrake is coming out amazingly, but I cant wait to see this finished up! It is looking great keep up the good work. I wish I could do half the stuff you do with a the modeling knife.
It's coming out great! I have been excited to see progress ever since you posted the mount you were going to use. Can't wait to see more progress!

Why does trig-sub even exist?
Previous: Local Hoogle Daemon
I was writing an exam for my students, and I wanted to give them a trig sub integral that wasn't too difficult (there's this infinitesimal sweet spot between ridiculously too difficult and utterly trivial). I noticed something about virtually every single trig sub integral that I imagined or ran into – almost all of them could be solved without any trig.
Case in point: consider \( \int \frac{x^3}{\sqrt{x^2 + 1}} \, dx \)
Standard trig sub methods have us use \( x = \tan(t) \) since \( x^2 + 1 \) appears in our integral. Making said substitution, we solve the integral as follows:
To simplify further, we need to draw a right triangle that satisfies \( x = \tan(t) \), and from that triangle deduce that \( \sec(t) = (x^2 + 1)^{1/2} \), giving us
Sometimes, you just gotta do what you gotta do, and so this is all well and good in the name of science. But what if I told you there was a way to solve this integral that involved no trig whatsoever?
The approach we can use is back substitution. Instead of setting \( x = \tan(t) \), we'll let \( u = x^2 + 1 \).
At first I thought that this must simply be a fluke coincidence, but as I looked at more problems, this method kept working.
It seems as thought we can get every integral that is traditionally taught using trig substitution by back substitution instead, so long as we just remember a few basic templates:
Frankly, we don't even have to remember the templates, since we can get them with the \( u \)-substitution \( u = Bx \) and a little bit of algebra.
Now, trig is hard for students to grasp. It takes a lot of time away from what could otherwise be used to teach quantitative reasoning, logic, statistics, etc. On top of that, calculators and computer algebra systems do all of your trig for you. This simply motivates the question:
Why do we keep putting so much effort into teaching trig when a calculator can do it better than a person and the time could be used on something more relevant?
For a long time, I thought the answer was obvious. We need to teach trigonometry because once you get into Calc II, you'll have some integrals that you'll need trig to solve, and by then it'd be too late to start teaching trig. But seeing how trig-substitution is basically unnecessary as an integration technique, I have to wonder – why do we even teach trig-sub? And if we don't need trigonometry for trig-sub, then why do we even still teach trigonometry at all?
We could realign the entire Mathematics curriculum. Teach just the basics of how to evaluate trig functions using a calculator or a table, and make advanced trig a special topics course for the few people who do actually still need to understand it really well. We could free up hundreds of hours for more relevant material in the process.
Now, I'm not really quite that radical, so I'm interested to hear in the comments why trigonometry (beyond a basic understanding of how to evaluate trig functions and what they tell us) should stay part of the core Calculus curriculum (maybe those of you who teach/do Physics know why). Or if you can think of an integral that actually does require trig-sub to solve (aside from the trivial integration technique of guessing the solution and checking by differentiating) I'd be interested in seeing it.

About our new advertiser - John Rossi offers the following:
When we are able to have our "A's" professionally repaired at a reasonable price, it is worth sharing with other club members.
At an earlier meeting, I reported that a good friend of mine, who is an incredibly talented machinist, has opened his own machine shop.
Dave VanLandeghem has been in the business for 25 years, and the things that I have seen him machine and repair are amazing. His shop is located in Chester County near Warwick off RT 23.
He is a friend to the Fordrestorer, and there have been a number of Model A's and early V8 cars in his family. Dave has had the responsibility of maintaining and servicing these vehicles for many years. I have had numerous jobs done by Dave from master cylinder conversion brackets, to early Ford component repairs. All work has been done quickly and without any problems.
As noted above, his work rates are very reasonable for the quality service provided. This is his first advertisement for his business in our newsletter - DVS MACHINE SHOP.

Here's something to ponder passed on to us from Howard Kriebel –
An Old Farmer's Advice:
Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight, and bull-strong.
Keep skunks and bankers and lawyers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.
Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.
Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.
Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You cannot unsay a cruel word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen, anyway.
Don't judge folks by their relatives.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.

It was owned by Bernard Liban, a Jewish entrepreneur who also owned the cement works in Bonarka and soda factory in Borek Fałęcki. In 1942-1944 a Nazi work camp provided the work force; after the war the quarry was nationalized, and produced 250,000 tons of stone every year until the 1980s. In 1993 Steven Spielberg used this abandoned location to build a replica of the Płaszów concentration camp for the "Schindler's List" movie.

I painted this Tando Creative Bottle frame with black Surfacez Clearsnap ink and let it dry; then stamped Ann Butler's one single 2'' Faux Quilting Unity stamp with clear embossing ink. Then I heat embossed it with Gold Clearsnap EP and embellished with some black rhinestones.
The back paper is glittered and embossed, so nothing more was added. Then I heat embossed this Tando shape with black and gold powders.

Against U
I had to go to the library to rescue a book. I'd had it out before but I wasn't able to finish it before it was due and I couldn't renew it because I have way too many fines right now. So I had to take it back, wait a couple days for it to get reshelved.
It's alright though. I already know how it ends.
"I didn't realize The Last King of Scotland it was a book," my mom had said, "Amin dies in the end." Great, thanks for ruining the surprise.
While at the library I thought I'd take a bunch of books with odd call numbers and then stack them against a book called 'U'. I figured that U was probably a catalogue of everybody's favourite letter, documenting it's appearance and usage throughout history, from it's appearance in ancient times and it's gradual separation from V, as well as it's typographic treatments in various typefaces over the years.
I was going to take all the odds and stack them against U and then take a picture, see if anyone noticed.
But the library didn't have a book called U. I looked for "You" and there was one but it was in another branch. Some sort of health manual. And then I checked for "Ewe", which apparently doesn't exist.
If it did I bet it would be about a woman experiencing a surprise pregnancy for the first time at 37 and coming to terms with faith and motherhood.
Oh well. I didn't have my camera with me anyways. This is the second time this has happened. Maybe it's a sign.

Shawn said while forcing out slightly. I pulled off him, got on the ground on my hands and knees. He was right behind me, his tool slapped on my bum several times. He reached under me, discovered my pussy, opened it up and guided his cock into me. He wasted no time and stuffed as serious since it would go. I gasped as I did not expect the pushed he pushed in to me with. He drawn back and crammed it in again. He did it a next time and this time around I pushed back. His fingers were on my sides, taking me right back to generally meet his every thrust. Ok last one Shawn fuck me! I moaned and he condemned into me again. And again. I pressed back against him, trying to get his cock just a little deeper. Think about it Shawn give me all your cock. It slammed into me again. He wasn't holding right back, he was fucking me with everything he had. He pushed in again and again. I am gonna cum. Shawn moaned.'Do not cum in me. I claimed while pulling far from him. Shawn dropped back against the sofa, his penis throbbing. I spun around, grabbed his smooth cock and sucked it in to my mouth. I could style myself on his cock as I bobbed up and down on it.
God it thought therefore excellent, his tool pressed completely in me. Easily we got our beat going, his penis slipping in and out of me, Shawn forcing up to generally meet me every time I got down. I leaned forward, promoting my weight on the trunk of the couch to each side of Shawn's head. My breasts hung in his face, his tongue reached out to lick my erect nipples. His fingers were on my butt, squeezing my cheeks, alternately dragging my cheeks apart and pushing them together. His sides flower off the couch moving his cock as heavy as it would go. I leaned ahead, forcing my tits into his face. I really could sense his mouth Free Online Cam Sex Chat open taking in a big section of my tit, his tongue moving on my nipple. I support my position, letting Shawn do all the task, forcing up in me, dragging right back before forcing up in to me again. I'd like you doggie style.
Mrs Anderson compensated me the typical 20 bucks. I loaded up my things and Mr Anderson went me house as usual. We existed a few miles out and even though I really could have borrowed my parent's car Mr Anderson generally offered to pick me up and decline me off. This way he could also spend a couple of minutes with my folks. He and my dad had worked together quite a while before and have remained friends actually since. On your way house we sold a bit of little talk. Turns out he was interesting a customer of his, wanting to shut some major deal. Several blocks from his house he pulled down the key path onto an area path with only a couple of properties on it. All the lights were out on the houses. He taken the car sideways of the street, made it off. Got time for the usual? he asked while turning towards me. You understand I always have time for you personally Mr Anderson. I said as I achieved over, undid his belt gear, undid his shorts and fly.
Oh Lord Brandi I really like once you do that. Shawn moaned. I taken right back and then serious throated him again. I used it there again, applied my language on him, licking as difficult as I could. Shawn sides lifted down the couch in an attempt to have actually greater, but my experience was correct against his body. He couldn't get any deeper. Following several seconds with this I drawn off. Allows get these off. I said taking his trousers down. He raised his hips to greatly help me. His cock stood at attention, gleaming with my saliva. I stood up and pulled down my pajama lows and my pretty pink panties all at once. Then I climbed on top of Shawn, covered my fingers around his mind, leaned around and kissed him. His fingers were on my naked butt, slipping up and down.
I licked the underside of the tip, then as much as the hole. Licking all over the opening before I pressed the end of my tongue in to it. Yet another lick about the end then I sucked the complete head in. Mr Anderson moaned. I adjusted myself by getting up on my knees on the seat. Kneeling on the seat I leaned around and took his dick in my mouth again. Grabbing it around the beds base I bobbed up and down about it, at once scrubbing my language all the it. His one hand started to roam. It roamed down my back. As a result of way I was positioned my sweatshirt had ridden up on me, exposing my decrease back. His give was now on my subjected right back, scrubbing it. As I extended to suck his dick and play with his balls his hand extended to roam. It transferred up my back, bringing the sweatshirt with it. When it got high enough for him to realize I was not carrying a bra his give tucked to my top part and immediately begun to massage my breast. His penis also got harder while he did this. You've such good nipples. He moaned, his fingers fine-tuning my nipples. As I drew on his cock I gently damaged his balls which my nails. He moaned.
The sole light in the car was from a regional road mild, just enough to see what I was doing. Achieving in I came across his tool, partial hard. He lifted his hips a bit and drawn down his shorts so I had free usage of his penis and balls. He settled back into his seat as I began to stroke his cock. As I stroked it grew harder. Yes you have such a good touch. Mr Anderson moaned. With my other hand I cupped his balls, massaged them lightly. Many thanks Mr Anderson. I prefer the way your cock Free Live Shows Porn feels in my own hand. Still another reason Mr Anderson always drove me is I'd usually provide him a give work or draw him down along the way home. That began back after my senior year of large school. Mr Anderson generally had anything for me. A couple of times the on your way home he created suggestive comments but I did not respond. One time however following he created a couple of these remarks I responded by asking to see his cock. Well he pulled it out and ever since that time it absolutely was a pretty regular thing. Leaning around I licked the end of his cock. He moaned, he set his give on my head. I extended to swing his dick while licking his tip.
I drawn on his penis, twisting my mouth on it. With only the end however within my mouth I went my tongue over it, then flicked it. At the same time I was stroking the rest of his shaft with my hand. Shawn was moaning already. I really could style the salty pre cum leaking from his cock. I reduced my mouth down his dick again, then drawn right back up. Again I ran my language around his tip. Decreasing myself on his dick again, this time I needed everything in, I was strong throating him. When it had been completely in I held it there, rubbing my tongue along his shaft.
His hand remaining my breasts. I was a little unhappy as he was doing a actual good job with them. His give returned to my right back, made their way right down to my ass. He applied my bum once or twice around my pajamas. Then it tucked below them, and under my panties. His give was today on my blank ass. He applied my bum while I continued to work on his cock. Eliminating my hand from his cock I slowly strong throated him. He was a bit thicker than Shawn but a comparable length. I must say i had no issue strong throating Mr Anderson but I could Sex Cam Online not get it done for long. I taken right back a little and sucked everything in again.
Shawn was moaning and I knew it wouldn't be long. I squeezed his balls and he shot his load. I swallowed that in the same way still another fill was squirted in to my mouth. Then another. Following many more small photographs he finally stopped. I extended to suck on his tool, draining the rest of his cum. Ultimately I taken up. Wow you have got to go. I said looking at the clock. It absolutely was 11:10, the Anderson's might be home at any moment. We equally sprang to the legs, finding our extracted clothing and finding dressed. At the doorway we kissed again. Just as he was about to open the doorway a car pulled in the driveway.'Fast out the back. I said dragging him to the kitchen where there is a right back door. One last hug and he was gone. I hurried back once again to the living room, opened a guide and pretended to be learning when the Anderson's stepped in. Hello Brandi, how everything get? asked Mrs Anderson. No problem, the children went along to sleep just as expected.
His give slid more down my bum, his hands discovered my pussy. He covered along my pussy a couple of occasions, then sent a hand in me. I moaned somewhat together with his dick in my mouth. Then I drawn down his dick, lay up while dragging his give away. Number sensitive for you personally Mr Anderson, remember. These were the floor concept we had set a while ago. I'd feel and draw him, but he was not to the touch me. I didn't brain stroking him but fucking was from the question. Effectively I thought probably you had changed you mind, After all following all you could i'd like to feel your tits. Ponder over it a plus night for you. But number more. Usually you are able to only get me house now. No that will not be necessary. Please continue with your services. Not quite so Asian Adult Webcams rapidly Mr Anderson. I got his give, the one which was on my bum, with the finger that was in me. I pressed the finger below his nose. Like just how I scent? He took a heavy breath. Yes that smells nice. I pressed the finger in his mouth. Like the way I taste? He moaned as he drew his hand clean. Before he can actually answer I delivered to his cock. Licking it in as I ran my tongue throughout it. My arms cupping his balls, squeezing them lightly. His give dropped on my again, scrubbing up and down lightly, driving my sweatshirt up higher and larger on me. Perhaps not stopping him I continued to function his dick with my mouth. His hand achieved about, found my tits and started to wipe my nipples. Immediately his tool grew tougher, I drew harder. I packed his balls a little tougher, he moaned. His hands squeezed my erect nipples carefully, it felt therefore good. But it absolutely was also creating him more excited. Opening large I slid his dick entirely in, my nose forced up against his body. His hips began to push up, he was finding close.
My moist pussy constrained down on his tool, trapping it between our bodies. I applied right back and forth several instances, covering his tool with my juices. His arms slid up my human body under my sweatshirt. They slid around to the front to my breasts. No bra tonight, I love that. He caressed my breasts. I sat up straight as he drawn my sweatshirt off. When I was fully naked he seemed me over. You are so sexy, I will never get fed up with seeking your body. I set my arms behind my mind, drawn my hair up, sent out my breasts, turned a little from laterally, providing him the super design pose. He put his practical my factors, gradually scrubbing them up and down just above my hips. After several seconds of the I raised up somewhat, got his cock, aimed it at the entrance to my pussy. Totally Free Live Sex Cams Quit looking and fuck me may ya? And I slid down his cock. His sides flower up to meet up me and instantly his dick was hidden to the hilt.
Following keeping his penis serious in my throat for several moments I backed off. I wrapped one hand around the bottom of his tool and stroked it, while I sucked and licked the tip. He was starting to moan nearly non stop, his fingers pinching my nipples a little harder. His hips were now thrusting seeking to drive his penis deeper. Drawing only the tip, my give stroked his dick while one other squeezed his balls. Suddenly he shot his fill, getting me down guard. Typically he didn't cum that quickly but he should have been thrilled to be touching my tits. I drew on his dick as he picture again and again. His sides were forcing up as he shot. I sucked down his cum as rapidly as he picture it. Soon he resolved back to his seat, his cock gradually deflating while I continued to pull on it. I had to draw all of the cum as I didn't want to leave any clear track for Mrs Anderson to find. Taking off as I sat up, my give however gently drawing his cock. His give slipped from my tit. That was good. he explained while considering me. His eyes were on my chest. Seeking down I saw my sweatshirt was pushed over my tits, therefore he could see them in the gray light. Quickly I drawn my sweatshirt down. That wasn't actually necessary today was it? He asked. I did not answer, but noticed his cock was dripping some more cum. I leaned around and drew the last of his cum from him. Yes thanks, you're generally so neat. He explained as I sat in my seat. He fixed his pants and we continued home. When he pulled in the driveway he taken out his wallet, drawn out fifty dollars, handing it to me. Thanks again for watching the guys tonight. I jumped out and shut the
door. As I was walking towards my home he folded down his window. I believe we might need you again in a few days, is that ok? Truly, only allow me to know. and I went in the house.
Which obviously I did. After canceling these were sleeping I got my phone and sent a text message. Just a easy one boat, Prepared? Almost straight away the device went down, a reply hell yeah be there in 5. It absolutely was from Shawn my boyfriend. I met him recently at town school we attended. Because we both lived in the home we needed gain of each and every prospect that people got to be alone. I did not will often have Shawn over when bab ysitting but we had equally been busy with midterms yesteryear number of weeks. I understand I needed it, and I am sure he did. As I waited for Shawn I seriously considered stripping off my pajama lows and my large sweatshirt, answering the door when he bumped in mere my panties (I wasn't carrying a bra tonight). But I chickened out, what if it was some one else. I would not manage to explain that.
Ultimately the brats settled down and were sleeping. It had nearly been an hour since the final time I noticed any noise from them. I peeked inside their room to confirm they were sleeping. They'd extra power or something tonight and wouldn't head to sleep. I was baby sitting both of these child, twins Zack and Ryan, era 5. Their parents and mine were buddies and I have been their babysitter very nearly since your day the boys were born. Actually they weren't brats, just two small children who had a ton of energy, unless of course you had something else in the offing and these were preventing it from happening.
Whoa whats your run Brandi? Its been some time, and I skip you. I answered however looking to get his freezer down. Properly just slow down, that is number reason to rush it. Oh and the Anderson's claimed they'll be Porn Free Chat house about 11:30. It had been today 10:35. Why did you delay so a long time before contacting me? Shawn asked while bending straight back against the arm of the couch, along with his hands behind his head. I was now ready to obtain his zipper down. Dragging down his lingerie I covered my hand about his cock. It was already hard. The youngsters wouldn't visit sleep. And I wish to make certain they certainly were asleep when you got over. I squeezed my give on his tool and started to swing it. Always thinking aren't you Brandi. Yeah I am. I said as I lowered my mouth onto his cock. I engulfed it, getting the majority of it in. I really like stroking cock. Since I first tried it inside my elderly year in high school, I loved it. I love how a men respond, their moans, their hands on my head. I enjoy taste and sense of a penis in my own mouth. I really like the power it provides me around a guy.
Five full minutes transferred, it seemed such as an hour. I lay on the couch flipping thru the channels on TV, getting up twice to look out the window. Another five minutes, this was killing me. I couldn't delay, I was therefore damp in expectation, it had been a few weeks because we were alone together, it was killing me. Eventually there is a slight hit at the door. I ran around, taken it open. There was Shawn. He got in, we embraced and kissed. Our tongues met, exploring each other. I was keeping him restricted, his fingers were on my ass. After about one minute I pulled away, closed the door. Keeping my give he led me to the couch. We lay down and embraced again, our lips met again. His arms were on my right back, rubbing up and down. At first therefore were mine, but then I achieved for his pants. I taken the belt gear loose, unsnapped his jeans then attempted to pull the freezer down. Shawn sent back.

tooth-shaded filling resins (also known as "composites", made from
an acrylic base with inorganic fillers) are of a high-quality standard. Above
all, these composite fillings are the best choice for front teeth (incisors,
canines), as well as smaller posterior fillings.
The adhesive bond between acrylic and enamel is
achieved through etching and application of primer
to the tooth's surface. In this way, even fragile
teeth are strengthened. For almost every tooth
shade there is a similarly shaded composite available,
almost always allowing perfect aesthetic adaptation
of the filling.
The life span of such extensive fillings is therefore
limited to around three to six years. This is,
of course, dependent on the patient's oral hygiene.
Treatment with ceramic inlays should therefore
always be considered as an alternative to composite.
and disadvantages of composite resin fillings

5 Types of Businesses You Can Run Out of a Self-Storage Unit
Okay, we all know that you can't actually run a business out of your self-storage unit because it would be a violation of your contract with the facility, but if you're running a business out of your home or even a small office, self-storage in Lawton can be a great place to house overstock, inventory, equipment, and lots more. You can even store shipping supplies in your self-storage unit and use it as a temporary staging area to prep shipments and get them in the mail!
So what kinds of businesses benefit from the additional space and resources that you can get from Lawton self-storage? The answer is: almost all of them! But here are a few suggestions that we've seen work over the years:
- eBay Businesses – Really, any kind of business that does mail-order fulfillment. Whether you're selling things on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, or elsewhere, chances are you already know how much space order fulfillment can take up, not to mention storing excess inventory. So if your mail-order business is overflowing your living room, dining room table, or garage, then it's time to rent out a self-storage unit in Lawton and see how much it can streamline your process.
- Craft Businesses – With the addition of sites like Etsy, home-based craft businesses have really taken off. Whether you're doing online sales and mail-order fulfillment or taking your wares around to local craft fairs and community events, self-storage can be a great place to store excess beads and other crafting supplies, and can even function as a makeshift workspace for assembling your final products.
- Home Repair or Vintage Furniture Sales – Whether you run a side business providing minor household repairs or buy, restore, and sell vintage furniture, self-storage in Lawton can give you a place to store all your tools and supplies, or any furniture that's still in the process of being repaired or restored.
- Direct Sales Businesses – Self-storage in Lawton isn't just for businesses that do mail-order fulfillment. Some of the leading home-based businesses in America are direct sales businesses that use the "party" model popularized by Tupperware. Today, home-based party businesses include everything from Avon and Mary Kay to Amway, Origami Owl, and Scentsy.
- Snow Plows and Lawn Care – Home-based businesses that deal in a lot of inventory may seem like a no-brainer for Lawton self-storage, but snow removal and lawn care companies can also benefit. Vehicle storage gives you a place to keep everything from trucks to trailers, while storage units can give tools and other supplies a good home that's out of the elements.
These are just a few of the types of businesses that can benefit from Lawton self-storage. At the end of the day, businesses of every type have inventory and supplies that can often outgrow your home or office, and renting a self-storage unit is often a lot more cost-effective than trying to lease more office space or buy a bigger house.
If you have any questions about how you can use self-storage in Lawton to your benefit or the benefit of your business, call or visit Storage 'R' Us today and ask one of our expert self-storage managers for advice. We've been in the Oklahoma self-storage business since 1972, and we've helped a lot of people manage their lives and businesses better through the use of self-storage. We can help you, too.

When you look at a map of Vancouver, you will see that from the shores of Burrard Inlet on the north, to the banks of the Fraser River on Vancouver's southern boundary, Granville Street is a primary arterial avenue in this burgeoning metropolis, and is a direct link to Vancouver International Airport and the heart of downtown Vancouver and the BEST WESTERN PLUS Chateau Granville.
The Best Western Plus Chateau Granville is situated at 1100 Granville Street, in the heart of Vancouver's Entertainment District. Our lobby doors open to a rainbow of neon lights lining both sides of the street through the city's core. Nightclubs, retail venues, restaurants, theatres, and a myriad of fast food outlets make Granville Street a destination for both visitors and locals. Many a night, the street is crowded with revellers into the wee hours. Granville Street is where the action is!
Colourful, exciting, and fast-paced, Granville Street has a history as old as Vancouver. The street was named in the late 1800's for the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, Granville Leveson-Gower, 2nd Earl Granville. In fact, the town site that eventually became Vancouver was originally named Granville, before City councillors adopted the present name for the city in 1886.
During the 1950s, Granville Street, already Vancouver's entertainment center, was known as The Great White Way. Then the street was lined with one of the world's largest displays of neon signs. Unfortunately in retrospect, City councilors of the day determined that the neon of the Great White Way was too gaudy, and the fabulous spectacle of lights was removed, replaced by the more subdued hue of fluorescent bulbs. The removal of the neon lights was perhaps a harbinger of the decline of Granville Street which began in the 1960's, and continued up until the present millennium.
In the early 2000s, with Vancouver preparing for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, a massive redevelopment of downtown Granville Street began to take shape, right in front of The BEST WESTERN PLUS Chateau Granville. As a result, the Granville Street Entertainment District was one of the most popular places to be during the 2010 Winter Olympics, as athletes and visitors from all over the world took to the street for a two week long party!
Today the neon is back, and it lights one of the most festive districts you will find anywhere! Without a doubt, no one visits the BEST WESTERN PLUS Chateau Granville and the Granville Street Entertainment District without coming away with a least one great story. Tell us yours!

We need Human Factors in healthcare so the design of how, where & with what we do our work matches capability. This will enhance the wellbeing and performance of both individuals and organisations. Take a look at our educational resources.
Human Factors (Ergonomics) is the study of human activity (inside and outside of work). Its purpose as a scientific discipline is to enhance wellbeing and performance of individuals and organisations. A number of different definitions of Human Factors exist. The key principles are the interactions between you and your environment both inside and outside of work and the tools and technologies you use.
Human Factors is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimise human well-being and overall system performance.
Video resource for front line staff explaining Human Factors from Trent Simulation and Clinical Skills:
Often the design inputs and processes related to the workplace fail to adequately take account of human abilities and characteristics, making it inevitable that failures will happen (and happen again). We know that many patient safety incidents across all health and social care sectors are directly related to a lack of attention to Human Factors issues such as; the design of everyday work tasks, processes & procedures; equipment and technologies, organisation of work and working environments. We would all agree that safe care delivered to a high standard is what we look for in a health and social care setting. We also want that care to be efficient and effective and delivered in a way that considers the needs of the recipient and the caregiver.
Human Factors (Ergonomics) can contribute to achieving this as it involves learning about our characteristics as humans (e.g. our physical size or strength, how we think and remember things) and using that understanding to improve our well-being and performance through the type of work we do, the tools and equipment we procure to do it and who we do it with?
It looks at areas such as the:
Human Factors practitioners seek to design work in a way that makes it easier for the goals of work to be achieved. Too often we rely on the human to adapt to poorly designed work and even worse we then blame them for errors resulting from such poor design. Working in (and with) poorly designed systems can have a negative effect on both individuals and organisations. Individuals because they experience symptoms such as higher levels of stress, fatigue, muscoskeletal pain and organisations because a consequence of these effects can be an increase in absenteeism, higher levels of error and poor quality of outcomes. Like many other safety critical industries such as oil and gas, aviation, transport and nuclear power; health and social care settings are seeking to adopt a human factors approach to the design of our work.

Upper Hunter Shire Council rejected comments by Scone Chamber of Commerce about proposed traffic changes in Kelly & Liverpool Streets Scone.
The Council said technical advice on pedestrian safety was the reason for the decision.
Losing the roundabout is unfortunate, but Council had to consider the safety of all pedestrians, including school children, the elderly and the mobility disadvantaged", Mayor Lee Watts said.
The loss can be mitigated with careful landscaping and additional footpath gardens", she added.
The Chamber President did not attend the RTA briefing session or the Council meeting. Despite repeated invitations by Council to discuss the Kelly Street proposals, the Scone Chamber of Commerce has made no attempt to meet with Council staff to discuss the technical issues associated with the different options. Council has always been open and cooperative in order to obtain the best outcome for the community, whilst the Scone Chamber of Commerce has taken a combative approach.
The Scone Chamber of Commerce held a survey that did not present a balanced position and was misleading to say the least. The question shouldn't be do you want to retain the roundabout; the question is: Do you want the most comprehensive safety solution? How many that signed the petition understood that both options involve traffic lights? How many realise the median fence is an issue in both proposals? Council opposes the inclusion of the median fence. Council attempted to get the Chamber to present a more balanced approach which they refused.
The Scone Chamber of Commerce in its submission to the RTA has proposed a third set of pedestrian controlled traffic lights south of the intersection, so whilst appearing to oppose traffic lights they are actually advocating more! They also propose the traffic lights be 75-100 metres from the roundabout which will create more traffic stoppages and further reduce parking spaces in the main CBD area.
The Chamber's submission to the RTA lacks an understanding of the main issue of pedestrian safety, and the need to improve safety for all pedestrians.
Kelly Street Pedestrian Safety Improvements
Upper Hunter Shire Council debated the RTA's proposals for safety improvements to Kelly Street (New England Highway), Scone.
The majority of Councillors spoke on the proposals and explored the advantages and limitations of both traffic light options.
Council resolved to support the RTA's original proposal of a signalised intersection which provides traffic lights to all four sides of the intersection and allows pedestrians on all four corners a safe method of crossing the four lane highway and both sides of Liverpool Street.
Both options provide for pedestrian refuges mid-block north and south of the Liverpool Street intersection and a future roundabout at the Kingdon Street intersection.
Mayor Lee Watts said Losing the roundabout was unfortunate, but Council had to consider the safety of all pedestrians, including school children, the elderly and the mobility disadvantaged. The loss can be mitigated with careful landscaping and additional footpath gardens.
The traffic lights will be linked to the future Liverpool Street railway crossing lights to help highway traffic flow through the intersection when the rail crossing boom gates are closed.
The RTA's public consultation period finished on 19 February and they will now consider all of the submissions before making a final decision on which proposal to move forward with.
It is a difficult and contentious issue but the Council believed the safety of all pedestrians using the intersection was the most important issue and the RTA's original proposal of traffic lights was the most comprehensive safety solution," Mayor Watts said.
