EXCLUSIVE: Alice killer hanged a mile from where she was found |
THE man wanted for the killing of Alice Gross was found dead today just a mile from where her corpse was recovered. |
09:20, 5 OCT 2014 |
Updated 01:21, 27 MAY 2015 |
Arnis Zalkalns' body was discovered in dense woodland by a detective sergeant from the murder inquiry team. It is believed he hanged himself. |
Last night officers sealed off Boston Manor Park in west London as forensics experts began gathering evidence. |
The condition of Zalkalns' body suggests he had been dead for several days. |
The Daily Star Sunday can also reveal detectives are now combing missing persons reports, fearing Zalkalns committed other offences in the UK. |
A police source said last night: "Detectives believe there is a strong possibility that Zalkalns has carried out violent offences in this country before." |
Officers obtained CCTV footage of the 41-year-old withdrawing money from a cashpoint in nearby Isleworth on September 2, the day before he disappeared. |
They also found other images of Zalkalns which they were analysing as part of their inquiry. |
Footage of him cycling on the path near the Grand Union canal 15 minutes after Alice walked past the same spot on August 28 had been widely circulated. |
Detectives believe that he encountered the 14-year-old, from Hanwell, west London shortly afterwards. Zalkans was reported missing five days later. |
Alice's body was recovered from the banks of the River Brent last Tuesday just yards from where some of her belongings were found almost a month earlier. |
It was wrapped in a sack and hidden underneath logs. A post-mortem examination failed to establish how she died. |
Scotland Yard said tonight: "We can confirm officers working on the Alice Gross murder investigation have today found the body of a man in dense woodland in Boston Manor Park." |
Linda Massey, who runs a café in the park, said: "There has been police activity within the park since around ten this morning. Police dogs were out in force but during their initial search the park remained open. |
"More police arrived and then part of the park at the top end by the pavilion was taped off, restricting people walking down towards the canal. By 3.30 the park was on complete lockdown with police at every entrance.'' |
Zalkalns arrived in Britain in 2007 after serving a seven-year jail term for killing his wife Rudite in his native Latvia. |
In 2009, he was arrested for allegedly assaulting a girl, 14, in Ealing, west London after drugging her. |
The case was dropped after the teenager withdrew her statement. |
We can reveal the Met's Homicide and Major Crime Command is going through hundreds of missing person reports, believing Zalkalns may have killed before in the UK. |
A police source said: "The discovery of Zalkalns' body obviously brings an end to the search for the inquiry team's main suspect but there are still a lot of unanswered questions as to how Alice was killed. |
"It is very much hoped the forensic tests being carried out on Alice and on Zalkalns may help to provide more details. |
"The police are still hoping that members of the public will come forward with more information and the search for both Alice's and Zalkalns' phones is continuing." |
The source added: "A key part of the inquiry process will be to go through other missing persons files held by Scotland Yard. |
"Detectives are focusing particularly on young girls reported missing in the capital who fit a similar profile to Alice. This could not only assist with providing clues about Alice's killer but may also help solve other crimes involving missing persons." |
After Alice's body was found her parents Rosalind Hodgkiss and Jose Gross said: "We have been left completely devastated. |
"It is difficult to comprehend that our sweet and beautiful daughter was the victim of such a terrible crime.<eot>Hints of Value Emerging from Conflict Minerals Disclosure Efforts - The Elm Consulting Group International |
Hints of Value Emerging from Conflict Minerals Disclosure Efforts |
elmgroup December 11, 2013 conflict minerals, CSR, sustainability |
Dodd-Frank Section 1502 and the associated SEC conflict minerals disclosure mandates have been highly criticized since their beginnings. Many arguments against these arose – among them: the approach required by the law was the wrong tool for the solving the problem; there was no practical way to determine the ultimate effectiveness of the expense and activities companies had to incur; the benefit of the requirements cannot be determined or quantified; and SEC is not the correct venue for social agenda matters. |
Even so, regulated companies began working on their compliance efforts after the SEC adopted the rules in August 2012, with many more jumping on the bandwagon through 2013. |
In the 15 months of work since the SEC rules, a glimmer of business value is emerging from the efforts. What we are seeing (and hearing from others) are some positive developments, such as: |
Greater understanding of suppliers. This is the first integrated effort some companies have undertaken to identify suppliers across their organization. At the least, companies are frequently surprised at the number of suppliers they have, or how outdated their supplier data is. Some have used this as a reason to implement broad supply chain optimization projects, consolidating suppliers and spend to obtain cost savings. Of course, not all supplier lists are carefully reviewed. We recently received a request to fill out an EICC template from the IT solution implemented by a client for whom we conducted the original conflict minerals program gap assessment. |
More insight into products themselves. Not every company understands the breadth of products offered. Companies reducing corporate overhead at times leave decisionmaking to business units, which can result in new products or product changes made without knowledge of corporate functions or leadership. Conflict minerals projects are bringing these forward and highlighting the need for increased communications internally about new products and changes to existing products. |
Improved documentation and knowledge of design specifications for contact manufacturers. Not all companies have rigorous documentation about product requirements for their contract manufacturers to use. We have found a surprising amount of informal – and even undocumented – communications with contract manufacturers. Conflict minerals compliance activities have increased company knowledge about the amount of influence on design, specifications or product performance for contract manufacturers |
Improved supplier prequalifications. Discussions about adding a conflict minerals check to new supplier qualification reviews has brought forth gaps and missing controls in existing processes. In these cases, companies have improved their overall processes and controls for on-boarding new suppliers. |
Strengthened importance and visibility of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. The linkage of the conflict minerals legal compliance mandate to CSR activities, departments and reporting has increased their visibility within their organizations. This comes at a time when increasing pressure is being felt on other CSR issues that have caught the public's attention in recent months. |
Preparing for the future. There is a general sense that supply chain transparency mandates will increase – either from new legal requirements – such as in the EU – or from other stakeholders. Conflict minerals compliance activities can create an overall structure to be leveraged for future sourcing transparency initiatives. |
Some of these were predicted as anticipated benefits early on. While the value of these benefits may not be easily quantifiable, we do think they offer at least some silver lining to the compliance burden. |

Chilli Pepper Plant Carolina Reaper |
Smoky yet fruity flavour. |
Holds the world record for the hottest variety. |
Approximately 1,500,000-220,000,000 SHUs |
This is officially the Hottest Chilli In The World (according to the Guiness Book of Records) and was created in the USA. It is a cross between the Pakistani Naga and a Red Habanero. The Scoville rating on the average fruit is around 1.5 million but they have been recorded up to 2.2 million! |
If you can get through the heat (which some people can!) it has a smoky yet fruity flavour. The fruits can reach around 3" (7.5cm) and are usually round or oblong in shape with a little 'tail' at the end. The flesh ripens to red with a 'bumby' texture - quite an interesting fruit.<eot>Government orders Ucas to reveal data on poorer students in drive to boost social mobility | The Independent | The Independent |
Minister urges body to publish offers of places broken down by ethnic group |
Wednesday 09 September 2015 18:07 |
Jo Johnson, the Universities Minister, has written to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (Ucas) asking it to publish the offers of places broken down by ethnic group, which will reveal the most selective institutions. Under a new agreement with Government, Ucas will publish the data underpinning this work and extend its analysis to other disadvantaged groups. |
The minister intervened after The Independent revealed last month that Ucas was under pressure from Alan Milburn, the social mobility watchdog, to make anonymised data available to academics. Ucas's commercial arm raises £12m a year by selling information to companies such as drinks and mobile phone firms about students who give their permission. |
Mr Johnson described higher education as "the most powerful driver of social mobility we have" and said Ucas should go further in future. |
He told Universities UK's annual conference at Surrey University: "To make our work on widening participation effective, we need the best possible data. Ucas in particular holds and publishes vast amounts of data on the outcomes of the admissions process, but to target widening participation efforts more effectively we need a better understanding of how students' background, prior attainment and course choices lead to an offer of a place." |
The minister added: "I want to see much more data being made available for academics to analyse and potentially link with other data sets." He welcomed Ucas's decision to start sharing data through a secure platform as "an important step forward," but added: "There will be more work to do to increase the data available and ensure the trust of students who are involved." |
Ucas is 'harming social mobility by blocking data' |
Government urged to press Ucas to release data |
Did UCAS really send a letter to a student applying for Hogwarts? |
Mr Milburn, the Labour former Cabinet minister who chairs the Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission, said: "It is very welcome that Jo Johnson is providing leadership on this, and these first steps represent good signs of progress." |
He added: "There is of course much more to do if this data is to be unlocked to the benefit of generations of disadvantaged children. As the Information Commissioner has made clear, it is perfectly possible to both protect the confidentiality of student data and allow these access issues to be fully analysed." |
Ucas insists it is committed to openness and widening access. Responding to Mr Johnson's speech, Mary Curnock Cook, its chief executive, said: "I'm pleased that the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has recognised the centrality of our data publications in shaping the understanding of higher education admissions over the past five years and the importance of our plans for further developments in this area." |
Youngsters from middle class families are seven times more likely to go to a top university than poor students. David Cameron has pledged to double the university entry rate among students from disadvantaged backgrounds by 2020 from 2009 levels. He also wants to see a 20 per cent increase in the number of black and minority ethnic students going to university by 2020. |
Only 10 per cent of white British boys from poor families go to university, making them five times less likely to do so than the most advantaged white boys. Participation rates are more than 20 per cent among boys of black Caribbean heritage, almost 50 per cent among boys of Indian heritage and more than 60 per cent among those of Chinese heritage.<eot>Creative Paperclay® air dry modeling material: Painting Techniques And Tips for Creative Paperclay by Gloriann Irizarry |
Painting Techniques And Tips for Creative Paperclay by Gloriann Irizarry |
Hi my dear friends, followers and collectors is me Gloriann Irizarry once more with great tips and painting techniques. I wanted to share the many ways you can paint your Creative Paperclay. |
I had try many different ways to do this now I wanted to share them out so you can choose your favorite technique on your next project. |
Here is the Genesis Artist Colors |
Oil paints that will stay liquid until they are heat set. |
I really like the Genesis paints with the paper clay projects. |
I can create layers of details heat set them and work with another layer and not be afraid to smear or damage all the details. |
It really adhere well and is absorb very nicely. I like it because it doesn't peel off once is dry and can be easily seal with flat, gloss or mate spray sealant. |
I use the Genesis paint in this Project and satin sealant. |
Same here this other bunny I used the Genesis heat set paints. I love how well the paint adhere to the clay evenly. First layer is finished and set. Now will be send to the more painting details. |
In this project the bunny was painted with the Genesis heat set paints and seal with glossy sealer. |
Here the bunny was painted and seal with mate sealer. The other details were glued and it took very well. No peeling off chips or white spots shown. |
For this little Cupid I use the genesis heat set paints once more. I love how easy it is to blush by diluting the paint with mineral oil. |
I heat set the body and then work on the details then heat set it once more. |
Another technique is adding alcohol inks to the clay and mix it with the paper clay. |
I also like this way because you can color the clay before you sculpt. |
This will make it easier to add details and don't have to worry about having a uneven coat of paint over your project. |
Here you can see the difference on these 2 sculpts. They are the same shape but using the inking techniques. It dries beautiful . Have in mind to add enough ink to your clay and remember it will dry a tone lighter. |
Now here is one of my FAVORITES ever. Sakura hobby craft 3d crystal lacquer and Terri Sproul Mixers by Sakura Hobby CraftsThis paint you mixt it your self. I start with the clear 3D crystal lacquer and your favorite color of the Terri Sproul Mixers. |
I can add has much mix to the lacquer until I have the right tone. |
Once ready paint over your Project. Sakura 3D lacquer is water base. I like to use old brushes, because the lacquer will dry quickly and will need to be wash very well after each use. |
It gives a very nice metallic look to any Creative Paperclay creation and will add dimension to any detail you paint with it. |
Let now talk about the acrylics. There so many brands and shines you can choose from. I try to stay away from them because it usually required 2 coats for the pigment to look best and sometimes if peels off showing white patches. But with practice and used you will learn how far you can push it. |
The better quality paint you use the better results you will get on your final pieces. |
