Revising the Repetitions
Since the beginning of the discipline, New Testament textual critics have made use of the scriptural citations found in patristic homilies, commentaries, and other exegetical works. Those who use these sources commonly distinguish between the initial citation of a passage of Scripture and the repetitions of this passage in the following exposition. These repetitions are often considered less susceptible to alteration in the course of transmission…
Telecare - An innovative model
The challenge: Hampshire County Council (HCC) serves a population of 1.3 million, 237,000 of whom are over 65. With a budget for adult social care of 324m, the council faces a challenge in providing services to a growing demographic with increased complexity of need.

Imperatives, Logic, and Moral Obligation
It is claimed that 'Do x !“ means 'Then you will do x '. Answering a “Why?” question concerning the former may take either of two forms, viz., 'Because ——' or 'If you wish to ——'. The second answer completes the truncated hypothetical. “Ought” sentences are treated as a species of imperatives involving universality in the “if” clause ('If anyone wished to ——'). Moral “ought” sentences involve a double universality, viz., the one mentioned above a…
