Community Element - Aberdeen Street Pastors

Aberdeen Street Pastors work during the night-time economy in the city centre. We seek to listen, care and help those in need or have found themselves in difficulties. In addition we run a small team of School and Retail Pastors.
We are interdenominational organisation and draw our volunteers from 35 churches across the city and beyond. Our aims are to bring peace and a Christian presence amongst night life community by building relationships, serving where we can. Where appropriate we take those opportunities to share our faith and pray with people.
Our values include working in partnership and therefore we work with the police, city council, churches and the business community. Ultimately, we strive to bring a positive impression of the local church and relevance to the Christian Gospel.
 

Community Element - First Aid - Head Injuries

 
 
 
 
 
 
What to look for - Head injuries
Advice taken from St John Ambulance First Aid Tips for Head Injuries
If you think someone has a head injury, there are six key things you should look for:
1. Brief loss of responsiveness
2. Scalp wound
3. Dizziness or nausea
4. Loss of memory of events before or during the injury
5. Headache
6. Confusion
For a severe head injury, you also need to look for:
reduced level of response• loss of responsiveness• leakage of blood or watery fluid from the ear or nose• unequal pupil size
What you need to do - Head injuries
1. Sit them down and give them something cold to hold against the injury. You can use a cold compress, or a bag of ice or frozen peas wrapped in a cloth.
2. Treat any scalp wounds like a bleed, by applying direct pressure to the wound.
3. Check their level of responsiveness, using the AVPU scale below. Make a note of their reactions, especially any changes to their level of response, to pass on to the ambulance, in case you have to call one.
The AVPU scale – alert, voice, pain, unresponsive
A – Alert: Are they alert? Are their eyes open and do they respond to questions?
V – Voice: Do they respond to voice? Can they answer simple questions and respond to instructions?
P – Pain: If they’re not alert or they’re not responding to your voice - do they respond to pain? Try pinching them - do they move or open their eyes?
U – Unresponsive: Do they respond to questions or a gentle shake?
If they are alert or responsive then they’re responsive and their head injury is probably mild, but you should wait with them until they recover.
If they’re not alert or responsive then they may be partially or fully unresponsive and their head injury could be severe. Call 999/112 for an ambulance and explain their response to the AVPU test.
If they lose responsiveness at any point, open their airway, check their breathing and prepare to treat someone who’s become unresponsive.
While you’re waiting for an ambulance, keep checking their breathing, pulse and any changes in their level of response.

The Allotment Market Stall

The Allotment Market Stall (TAMS) is based in Aberdeen, Scotland and was established in 2012.  Since then it has brought seasonal, fresh, local allotment-grown vegetables and fruit to Aberdeen City.
TAMS aim to reduce waste, reduce food miles, and so improve our local environment.  TAMS also aim to improve access to locally-grown vegetables and fruit that is seasonal and fresh from the allotments of Aberdeen by running market stalls.
These market stalls sell excess produce from allotments across Aberdeen during July, August, September, and October.
The value is excellent.  Last year, Rob walked away from Duthie Park with a heavy carrier of veg and fruit for about £5.00

Power Hour - Watch and Pray

Watch and Pray
What are we watching for?
Our reactions to news
Reactions to each other
Reactions to gossip
Things that distract
Allowing Our selves chains of thought which lead us away from God -things that need to be done, said, relationships, things we want, need, financial constraints.
The only thing we can do is pray. It's too easy to promise something and then to break that promise. I’ve found that bringing my concerns, failures and prayers to God results in a clearer head and a knowledge of what to do to resolve the situation.  Prayer works.
Matthew 26:41
Keep watch and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Mark 14:38
And he said to them, “Keep watch, and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Luke 21:36
Be on watch and pray always that you will have the strength to go safely through all those things that will happen and to stand before the Son of Man.”
1 Peter 3:12
For the Lord watches over the righteous and listens to their prayers; but he opposes those who do evil.”

Community Element - Broadband

Brian's Good News
For our second Community Element we start wading through the plethora of Broadband deals.  At the end of the day, don't end up paying for more than you need.  The categories below are a guide only.
Use Public internet facilities - Occasional looking up information
Pay as You Go Device for browsing/ occasional emails if no fixed abode and low income.
ADSL land line to 11 mb - personal emails/ more regular browsing, some TV services, social media- if only 1 - 2 people .
Fibre Broadband - families streaming, emails, social media, some gaming.
With the above, downloads are faster than up loads. The quoted bandwidths are for downloads
Fibre Optic to the Premises more expensive but caters for busy households and businesses with high band width.  Uploads and downloads are the same speed.  These may be 30mb - 1GB or higher.
Mobile Broadband is improving all the time.  The current 4G is proving reliable and quite fast.  It is soon to be joined by 5G with Fibre to premises speeds and higher.  Soon line rental looks to be obsolete. People can already take their router with them when they travel and roam
There are a number of websites which can help.  Have an explore and take time to weigh up the alternatives.
