Influence
I have spoken to Brian Hendlesby, Chief Operations Officer of Horizon Lift Training. They accommodate approximately 15 patients and 7 permanent staff at their latest development in Harrogate. The patients live their throughout the 12 month rehabilitation course while also learning a life skill. They are then Placed into a local industry and monitored for the following 12 months.

Link of Parasite
An organism which lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other’s expense.
21
Link of Palimpsest
A manuscript or piece of writing material on which later writing has been superimposed on effaced earlier writing.

Sync: The Emerging Science of Spontaneous Order by Steven H. Strogatz
As the patients become more synchronised they work together to recover similar to the firefly theory in the text. 23
Closed Loop Living
Self sustained living
Grow food - taught to cook - feed patients and staff
Self sustained power renewable energy used

Context Research and Deveplopment
28
From researching parasites I looked into: Fungus Growth Spawn Multiplication Expansion
The parasite growns to take over/consume the host.
29
Parasites like bacteria both multiply to over run the host
30
Spiders
Living in the environment without damaging its surroundings. Removes flying parasites such as mosquitoes, tsese flies and any others which it may catch in its web.
I aim to ‘catch the PDU’s, cocoon them within a core like within a fungus body while they recover before releasing them back in to society (not eat them). 31
