Disability Forum NewsLink November 2013 Disability Forum NewsLink November 2013 Here to make Peterborough an accessible place to live Guess who’s coming to lend a hand at the Mayors Charity Committee, Sporting Saturday event on Saturday January 18th? Only the baddest man on TV, Eastenders Phil Mitchell! Actor Steve McFadden will be making a special appearance at Peterborough’s biggest sport and leisure event. Don’t tell anyone because we haven’t asked him yet but it’s hoped that Steve will host the Martial Arts World Record challenge for most participants, which takes place between 4 and 5pm. Master Parkers Serial Kickers (MPSK) will be leading the event and encouraging 500 participants to take up the challenge and become world record holders. Everyone is welcome. The more the merrier Also confirmed is GB Wheelchair Basketball star Sarah Grady Aged 7, Watford born Sarah Grady was hit by a virus that damaged her spinal cord; aged 13, the BSc Business and Sports Sciences graduate (Brunel University, 2005) first tried wheelchair basketball at the National Junior Games at Stoke Mandeville; and, a mere three years later, at just 16, she travelled across the world to Australia to represent Great Britain in the 2000 Sydney Paralympics. The next five years saw Sarah called up for her nation countless times: in addition to the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games, the GB #5 was also selected to compete at the World Championships 2002 (Kitakyushu, Japan) as well as the European Championships in 2003, winning bronze, and 2005. After taking time out from international basketball to have her son Josh, Sarah returned to the GB squad in November 2011 where she played her way into selection for her third Paralympic Games: London 2012. In front of a home crowd, Sarah helped the team secure a 7th place finish, Paralympics GB's best performance in women's since the 1996 in Atlanta.

[email protected] Admission £2 2 NewsLink November 2013 Carer tied woman, 88, up with her dressing gown cord so she could have cigarette break Carer Susannah Carr tied up a lady, who suffers from dementia, because she did not want her wandering around the care home A care home assistant used a dressing gown cord to tie an 88-year- old woman with dementia to a chair while she went outside to smoke a cigarette. A court was told that Susannah Carr, 43, restrained the pensioner because she had been wandering around the care home. She told a colleague what she had done and was reported to police, but denied it when interviewed by officers. However, she later went back to the police station to admit her crime after being questioned by care home bosses at an internal inquiry. When she was finally brought before a court, she pleaded guilty to a charge of ill-treating and wilfully neglecting a person without capacity. Carr was spared a jail sentence, however, when Judge Michael Addison gave her a 12-month supervision order. When the offence came to light, she was dismissed from her job at Sutton Lodge. A Bupa care home where she had worked for about ten years. In a statement after sentencing, Graham Brittain, of Bupa Care Services UK, said: ‘The behaviour of Susannah Carr was clearly unacceptable. ‘We immediately suspended her and reported her to the appropriate authorities to ensure that vulnerable older people are protected. The court has now taken appropriate action.’ St Peters Arcade St Peters arcade will be undergoing some much needed modernisation and refurbishment work in the New Year. Some of the work being carried out is based on the findings of an Access Audit commissioned by the Peterborough Disability Forum and DIAL Peterborough. A new floor, new railings and new lighting is amongst the schedule of works together with decorating throughout. Work begins in January and will last until mid-March. Please note that the arcade will be closed throughout the work. The nearest disabled toilets are at the Haven Car Park. Peterborough Disability Forum Town Hall Council Chamber 1-3pm Wednesday 27th November 3 NewsLink November 2013 Another Christmas cracker 5000 hardy souls braved the winter chill to enjoy six hours of entertainment and fun culminating with Mayor June Stokes and Santa switching on the Christmas Lights. For the fourth year running members of the Disability Forum joined Cllrs John and Judy Fox in marshalling the wheelchair area at the front of the stage. Well done to PCC Head of Commercial Operations, Annette Joyce, a great time was had by everyone Watch out Peterborough! It’s the Lava Lamp Christmas Disco! Enzo, Benny and the rest of the Lava Lamp team are promising a night to remember at Liquid Nightclub on Thursday 19th December from 8pm until 1am.

All part of the “Stay up late” initiative. Peterborough Bus User Group (BUGs) BUGs continues to go from strength to strength and service providers are definitely starting to listen to the concerns of passengers. The last meeting which took place on Wednesday 13th November was a full house with over thirty members of the public asking questions of Stagecoach and Peterborough City Council Transport officers. Helen Sismore from Guidedogs UK chaired the meeting. The next BUGs meeting has now been moved to the bigger Council Chamber and takes place on Wednesday 11th December. For more details contact Helen: [email protected] Congratulations to Sue Mitchell Sue has joined Inspire Peterborough as Programme Manager following her retirement from Peterborough City Council where she was Associate Director of Public Health. Sue takes up her new post in early December, more details in Decembers NewsLink but Sue will be a fantastic asset for Inspire Peterborough and helping to provide more accessible sports and leisure activities for disabled people, their families and carers 4 NewsLink November 2013 Access Audits are the way ahead What is a Disability Access Audit? The purpose of an Access Audit is to establish how well a building or service provider performs in relation to access and ease of use by a wide range of potential users, including people with physical mobility and sensory impairments. Do you get fed up with the same lame excuses service providers churn out when you challenge them about poor accessibility and the lack of disability awareness training? We all know that too many organisations pay scant regard to the needs of disabled people. Next time you have an issue with accessing or using services, ask for a copy of the Access Audit. If it’s a new or recently refurbished building, don’t let them tell you they don’t have one, they should! Or how do they know that disabled people can access their facilities? Santa is coming to the Mayors Coffee Morning Fancy a coffee and mince pie with Mayor Cllr June Stokes and Father Christmas? The Reception Room in the Town Hall on Thursday 5th December is the place to be. Tombola and stalls and the opportunity to talk to the Mayor and Santa. All welcome Half of middle-aged men who have a heart attack have shown warning signs of it up to a month before. Many sudden heart attacks aren't always so sudden, new research suggests. In the four-week period up to a heart attack, researchers found more than half of the patients examined showed symptoms that could predict cardiac arrest.

  • Low-Power Lighting Technology
    Low-Power Lighting Technology Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences have designed and tested a prototype cathodoluminescent lamp for general lighting. [27] A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in Spain and the U.S. has announced that they have discovered a new property of light—self-torque. [26] When studying biological cells using optical tweezers, one main issue is the damage caused to the cell by the tool. Giovanni Volpe, University of Gothenburg, has discovered a new type of force that will greatly reduce the amount of light used by optical tweezers—and improve the study of all kinds of cells and particles. [25] The device, which works in the mesoscopic mass range for the first time, might not only be used to help solve fundamental problems in quantum mechanics, it might also find use in precision metrology applications. [24] Although previous research shows that metal nanoparticles have properties useful for various biomedical applications, many mysteries remain regarding how these tiny materials form, including the processes that generate size variations. [23] With a novel electrochemical biosensing device that identifies the tiniest signals these biomarkers emit, a pair of NJIT inventors are hoping to bridge this gap. [22] The dark skin pigment melanin protects against the sun's damaging rays by absorbing light energy and converting it to heat. [21] Wang, Bren Professor of Medical Engineering and Electrical Engineering, is using PAM to improve on an existing technology for measuring the oxygen-consumption rate (OCR) in collaboration with Professor Jun Zou at Texas A&M University.

In the late 19th century, two such mastodons were unearthed in southwestern Wisconsin and were purchased for the UW Geology Museum’s permanent collection. Over the course of a century, one mastodon find became Wisconsin’s most famous fossil, while the other was virtually forgotten. In late 2015, this composite skeleton celebrated its 100th year of display in the Geology Museum, and Carrie Eaton unveiled some exciting discoveries regarding its history. Eaton will talk about the rediscovery of a historic specimen, new developments since the story broke, and why its extinction shouldn’t prevent us from learning to love the mastodon.

Striving to source our materials locally and responsibly, we design and create pieces that stand against throwaway culture. We were awarded the House & Garden 2020 Responsible Design Award and we are striving to live up to that standard. Each decision we make is committed to limiting our waste and carbon emissions and increasing our environmental awareness. 80% of what we make is produced in England and most is forged, blown, cast or built within 45 miles of our Head Office in Farnham, Surrey. We continually reinvent our pieces, and when we produce new designs, we launch small and considered collections, minimising the resources used in the origination and prototyping. Our Makers inherently embrace a sustainable approach in their making processes and our recycling scheme has reduced waste at Head Office by a staggering 82%. Our Tala Lighting collaboration has resulted in a range of high-quality LED light bulbs that are distributed at no extra charge with all our lighting pieces. This sustainable attitude is embraced from our design studio to our Upcycling Club.

  • Key Dates for the Diary
    15th June 2018 32 Dear all It has been a busy week of exam feedback here at school with students thinking carefully about their results and planning their next steps. Our central message revolves around ‘what is in your control?’ and asking our students to ensure they celebrate their successes and focus on the feedback their teachers are giving them, to empower them with their next steps. It has been my absolute pleasure to join Yr9 and Yr10 students for their assemblies this week where we explored how we develop our own growth mindset and the power of perspective. Last week I referenced the recent ban of smart phones in schools by the French government and this week has seen the issue discussed by UK secondary headteachers at the Girls’ Day Trust Conference. Of course, we have had a ban on smart phones since September 2015 and I have always been clear that I believe this to be one of the best moves we have made as a school. We are the first generation of parents and teachers to tackle the issue of screens and new technologies with our young people and it is important that we continue our open dialogue; celebrating the huge benefits that screens afford us whilst securing firm boundaries and healthy habits for our children. We are delighted that as a result of our pioneering approach in the area of smart phones the Children’s Commissioner, Anne Longfield, has asked to visit the school and meet with students next week. This is an exciting opportunity to discuss our approaches as a school and possible next steps.

Such common conceptions of endings, this thesis argues, are largely incompatible with the realities of television’s production and reception, and as a result the study of endings in television needs to be re-thought to pay attention to the specificities of the medium.

  • Wendy Richard
    Soap stars gather for emotional farewell to Wendy Richard Screen legend Wendy Richard Stars from some of Britain’s best-loved soaps gathered together on 9th March 2009 to pay their respects to screen legend Wendy Richard. Lacey Turner, Pam St Clement, Letitia Dean, June Brown and Todd Carty Albert Square was brought to a virtual standstill as more than 100 EastEnders stars gathered for the funeral of the 65-year-old, who became a household name for her portrayal as cardigan- wearing matriarch Pauline Fowler. Famed characters from the East End soap both past and present included Anna Wing who starred as Lou Beale; Letitia Dean who played Sharon Mitchell; Barbara Windsor who plays Peggy; Ian Beale actor Adam Woodyatt and Dot Branning's June Brown. On arriving at the church with Ricky Groves (Gary Hobbs) and June Brown, Letitia told reporters: “Wendy is going to love this.” Groves added: “We’ll have a drink for her.” Wendy's on-screen son Todd Carty - who played Mark Fowler - led tributes to the actress along with Are You Being Served's Frank Thornton and Leonard Fenton, who starred as Dr Harold Legg. Carty looked to be on the brink of tears as he arrived at the church, flanked by Cindy Beale actress Michelle Collins, Steve McFadden who plays Mitchell hardman Phil, Pam St. Clement (Pat), Lacey Turner (Stacey) and Kara Tointon, who stars as Dawn. More than 1,000 mourners crammed into a star-studded central London service for Wendy, who also played Miss Brahms in the hit sitcom Are You Being Served? and fans of the star lined the streets outside St Marylebone Parish Church.
