This study aimed to explore, articulate and expand on existing concepts of recovery and paid peer support within consumer-operated mental health organizations. Focus groups and interviews were cond...

The development of “child aware” practice is about the capacity and capability of adult health and social service providers to identify and respond to the needs of children. A scoping review of the literature considered five adult adversities associated with family stress and reduced parenting capacity: mental illness, alcohol and substance abuse, homelessness, intellectual disability, and domestic violence. Although there are specific needs for children pertaining to particular adversities, there was substantial commonality of potential effects. These included emotional and psychological difficulties, physical and mental health problems, academic difficulties, language delays, peer difficulties, stigma, trauma reactions, loss and grief, instability, and social exclusion. How children react to difficulties in their family depends upon various protective factors, a child's frame of reference, and other dynamics within the family that can offset risks. The findings aim to inform policy, program deve...

While the history of early filmmaking and exhibition in Yorkshire has previously drawn only limited critical attention, the materials of the Fred Holmes Collection now offers us new insight into the region through the practices of Jasper Redfern. Drawing on both this newly uncovered collection, the materials of the National Media Museum, as well as on a series of business records held by the National Archives, this article presents an investigation of Redfern's unsteady progress through the changing market of film production and performance in the region. Starting as a demonstrator of the Kineoptikon, Redfern established himself as a localized showman who was able to tailor his show to high-profile music hall shows, as well to private performances for various social events. From this he developed his own ‘complete' touring programme of mixed live and screened entertainments, and ‘Jasper Redfern's No. 1 Vaudeville Company' broke into more permanent forms of exhibition, eventually forming a network of venue...

We present a case of recurrent vago-glossopharyngeal neuralgia after previous surgery, treated successfully with microvascular decompression using intra-operative neurophysiology monitoring.

In this paper, the technology of an energy-conserving incandescent lamp is described. The lamp has a spherical envelope coated with a multilayer heat mirror of TiO2-Ag-TiO2. The coated envelope focuses the infrared radiation back to a centered compact filament of high emissivity while transmitting the visible wavelengths. The energy savings depend on the emissivity of the filament and the effective reflectance and visible transmittance of the coated envelope. Performance has been evaluated both in a model lamp system and in actual lamps.

In close agreement with theoretical prediction, model energy conserving incandescent lamps have been produced which conserve 55 percent of the energy compared with a clear lamp of the same lumen output at the same filament temperature. This result was obtained with an optically ground and polished envelope internally coated with a multilayer heat mirror. Theoretical predictions employed a computer calculation which included the spectral variation of the filament emissivity and the heat mirror-reflection-induced-shift in the spectral output of the filament.
