1.Front and back subject positions are different, eg
They stayed at home,weather being bad.
They stayed outside,weather permitting.
(2)When independent "participle phrase" has the subject meaning as a general person,eg we,one, you,then the subject may be eliminated.
Rain beinng stopped,they continued their journey.
(=If they continued their journey,the rain had stopped!
