Transitional justice seeks to deal with legacies of the most brutal conflicts and political transitions within states; however, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Post-conflict justice, as a subset of transitional justice, is concerned with justice mechanisms in the wake of armed conflict. Despite a growing literature exploring the conceptualization and effectiveness of transitional justice, less attention has been paid to the factors influencing the decision to adopt transitional justice and choice of mechanism(s). Further, theoretical understandings of how these choices ultimately contribute to the broader goals of justice, truth, and peace are limited. This study proposes domestic legal traditions as an explanatory factor influencing the pursuit of post-conflict justice. More specifically, I expect to find that states have preferred, or congruent post-conflict justice mechanisms based on their domestic legal traditions. To test this relationship, I develop a congruence variable to link domestic legal traditions to post-conflict justice mechanisms. I utilize the Post-Conflict Justice (PCJ) Dataset to test hypotheses regarding adoption and mechanism selection, finding that states prefer specific post-conflict justice mechanisms. More importantly, a survival analysis shows that the implementation of congruent post-conflict justice mechanisms increases the likelihood of longer-lasting peace in the post-conflict period. These findings provide key insights into important factors that can inform policy and best practices when considering the adoption and implementation of post-conflict justice.

Local Guddy connects you to locals around the world for authentic travel experiences
By Terry Boyd
An Istanbul-based startup is creating a global travel concept based on going native. Local Guddy (guide-buddy) matches travelers up with locals for an entirely authentic travel experience, said co-founder Emre Semercioğlu.
“You don’t only see the touristic places, but you see the city through eyes of locals,” who know better than anyone where to taste the most flavorful beer, the most delicious foods, where to party and all the cool stuff tourists miss, Semercioğlu said.
And if it works out, Local Guddy tours can turn into more than a one-time experience, because part of the allure is that you meet people during the tours.
“People come, they take the tour from locals and they become friends. So when they come back to the city, they can hang out together again,” he said.
This is relevant to our Dispatches audience because expats are a needy demographic … strangers in a strange land, often arriving without a life-support network.
Moreover, this is a cool idea on several levels, not the least of which is it creates an entire new travel market. In short, young Turkish entrepreneurs Semercioğlu, İhsan Serdaroğlu, and Cihan Bilir have come up with a concept Turkish news site Daily Sabah describes as the “Airbnb for the streets of a foreign city.”
Local Guddy started eight months ago with a simple value proposition – everyone wins when you match bold explorers to locals who create their own tours, showing visitors the real Berlin, Istanbul or Rio.
Local Guddy builds the website and does the marketing; locals do the tours and Semercioğlu & Co. keep $5 in a fixed commission.
Travelers go online, check out the cities, choose their tour, pay online in advance, then meet their guides.
Local Guddy guides work in four categories:
• Local Guddy organizes tours of must-see destinations such as museums as well as hidden spots only locals know.
• Food Walkers show visitors the best places to sample local foods.
• Pub Crawlers take travelers to the best pubs and clubs.
• Hommy Chefs cook local foods at home and host travelers for dinner or for breakfast.
So far, that model has translated into about 500 tours in 40 countries, Semercioğlu said,
This is not an ad hoc effort.
Local Guddy partnered with Be a Better Guide Project to launch Guddy Academy to provide online training videos for Guddies. This includes the dos (be more interactive) and the don’ts (don’t one-up your clients.)
After less than a year, Local Guddy has matched up visitors and locals in London, Barcelona, Milan, Berlin, Istanbul and other cities.
The majority of users are young, in the 25-35 demographic. Most are American first-timers in European cities, looking for “something new and alternative,” said Semercioğlu.
A great startup story
Semercioğlu, Serdaroğlu, and Bilir started Local Guddy with 5,000 euros they raised via crowdfunding.
The origins of Local Guddy are in Istanbul.
“I was hosting at my flat many foreigner friends, and I was showing them around in my free time,” Semercioğlu said. “But when I have to go to work or school, they were trying to explore the city themselves.
“They were going to backstreets and getting lost or going to only most touristic places … while discussing this with them, we came up with the idea.”
In a global world, it figures Local Guddy is an American corporation, incorporated in Delaware.
Semercioğlu, Serdaroğlu, and Bilir went through an accelerator in Berlin in their expansion to Europe, but have been working for about seven months out of Istanbul, where they have their offices.
With proof of concept, Local Guddy is now ready to go to the next level.
“Our long-term strategy is to partner with bigger players in the accommodation sector like Booking.com, Homeaway, etc. because they have the demand, and we have the supply,” Semercioğlu said.
In the short term, Local Guddy partners with smaller platforms and startups.
These are not guys who give up easily
Istanbul native Semercioğlu, who has a background in business and marketing, has been involved in two startups that didn’t fly, including an app/personal assistant that helped users explore cities via WhatsApp, connecting them to real people. The plan was to charge restaurants a fee if clients make reservations.
The project attracted 20,000 users in Istanbul, but raising scale-up capital in Turkey is tough right now, he said.
Instead, they pivoted to Local Guddy with affordable, authentic tours of the world’s coolest cites.
Tours of the Month on the Local Guddy website include:
• a $15 per person tour of London’s Farmers Markets with Gilberto R.
• High level hiking in Pedra da Gàvea with Sal S. in Rio de Janeiro for $20 per person
• Top Midtown walking sites of Midtown in New York City with Lisa F. for $50 per person
• Berlin Food at Its Best with Divina W. for $15 per person
You can also meet Emre Semercioğlu in person and explore Istanbul’s famous nightlife.
So you might want keep Local Guddy in mind whether you just landed, or whether you’re a jaded expat contemplating yet another Sunday hanging around the flea market at Mauerpark.
And you adventurous locals … you can sign up to be a Local Guddy on the website.

Persistent Memory Overview
Over the last few decades, computer systems have implemented the memory-storage hierarchy shown in Figure 1. The memory-storage hierarchy utilizes the principle of locality which keeps frequently accessed data closest to the CPU. Successive generations of technologies have iterated on the number, size, and speed of caches to ensure the CPUs have access to the most frequently used data. CPU speeds have continued to get faster, adding more cores and threads with each new CPU generations as they try to maintain Moore's Law. The capacity, price, and speed of volatile DRAM and non-volatile storage such as NAND SSDs or Hard Disk Drives have not kept pace and quickly become a bottleneck for system and application performance.
Figure 1: Memory Storage Hierarchy
Persistent Memory (PMEM), also referred to as Non-Volatile Memory (NVM), or Storage Class Memory (SCM), provides a new entry in the memory-storage hierarchy shown in Figure 2 that fills the performance/capacity gap.
Figure 2: Memory-Storage Hierarchy with Persistent Memory Tier
With persistent memory, applications have a new tier available for data placement. In addition to the memory and storage tiers, the persistent memory tier offers greater capacity than DRAM and significantly faster performance than storage. Applications can access persistent memory like they do with traditional memory, eliminating the need to page blocks of data back and forth between memory and storage.
SNIA Programming Model
The Storage Network Industry Association (SNIA) and several technology industry companies derived several standards, including the NVM Programming Model, to enable application development for persistent memory. NVM Programming Model Version 1.2 can be found on the SNIA Persistent Memory website. Each year SNIA hosts a Non-Volatile conference. Papers and recordings of previous conferences can be found on the SNIA Persistent Memory home page.
What does this mean for application developers?
The introduction of a persistent memory tier offers application developers a choice of where to put data and data structures. Traditionally data was read and written to volatile memory and flushed to non-volatile persistent storage. When the application is started, data has to be read from storage into volatile memory before it can be accessed. Depending on the size of the working dataset, this can take seconds, minutes, or hours. With clever application design, developers and application architects can now take advantage of this new technology to improve performance and reduce application startup times.
Persistent Memory introduces some new programming concerns, which did not apply to traditional, volatile memory. These include:
Data Persistence:
Stores are not guaranteed to be persistent until flushed. Although this is also true for the decades-old memory-mapped file APIs (like mmap() and msync() on Linux), many programmers have not dealt with the need to flush to persistence for memory. Following the standard API (like msync() to flush changes to persistence) will work as expected. But more optimal flushing, where the application flushes stores from the CPU caches directly, instead of calling into the kernel, is also possible.
CPUs have out-of-order CPU execution and cache access/flushing. This means if two values are stored by the application, the order in which they become persistent may not be the order that the application wrote them.
Data Consistency:
8-byte stores are powerfail atomic on the x86 architecture -- if a powerfail happens during an aligned, 8-byte store to PMEM, either the old 8-bytes or the new 8-bytes (not a combination of the two) will be found in that location after reboot.
Anything larger than 8-bytes on x86 is not powerfail atomic, so it is up to software to implement whatever transactions/logging/recovery is required for consistency. Note that this is specific to x86 -- other hardware platforms may have different atomicity sizes (PMDK is designed so applications using it don't have to worry about these details).
Memory Leaks:
Memory leaks to persistent storage are persistent. Rebooting the server doesn't change the on-device contents. In the current volatile model, if an application leaks memory, restarting the application or system frees that memory.
Byte Level Access:
Application developers can read and write at the byte level according to the application requirements. The read/writes no longer need to be aligned or equal to storage block boundaries, eg: 512byte, 4KiB, or 8KiB. The storage doesn't need to read an entire block to modify a few bytes, to then write that entire block back to persistent storage. Applications are free to read/write as much or as little as required. This improves performance and reduces memory footprint overheads.
Error Handling:
Applications may need to detect and handle hardware errors directly. Since applications have direct access to the persistent memory media, any errors will be returned back to the application as memory errors.
Application developers can use traditional system calls such as memcpy(), memmap(), etc. to access the persistent memory devices. This is a challenging route to take as it requires intimate knowledge of the persistent memory device and CPU features. Applications developed for one server platform may not be portable to a different platform or CPU generation. To help application developers with these challenges, an open source Persistent Memory Development Kit can be downloaded and freely used. More information can be found in the PMDK Introduction, Installing PMDK, and PMDK Programmers Guide found within this document collection. Tuned and validated on both Linux and Windows, the libraries build on the Direct Access (DAX) feature of those operating systems which allows applications to access persistent memory as memory-mapped files, as described in the SNIA NVM Programming Model.
Managing persistent memory devices on Linux is achieved using the ndctl utility. Read the NDCTL Introduction, Installing NDCTL, then NDCTL User Guide within this collection. Windows users can use the Get-PhysicalDisk power-shell command. More information can be found on the Microsoft Documents site.

October 7, 2017 September 27, 2019 / Alexandra Jones deHaven
My parents never even had medical insurance, which they considered an extravagance, until they were eligible for Medicare. They gambled…and won the health lottery, despite their decades of heavy smoking and drinking.
And when my father died, my mother gave his body to a medical school so that she wouldn’t have to pay for cremation. Afterward, she refused to accept his ashes for burial; she told the hospital to dump them in a public veterans’ grave.
My father and I went to the local Holiday Inn for our Thanksgiving dinner.
My mother was indisposed, once again, because of her drinking.
We ran into Anastasia at the restaurant; she was one of my father’s loyal, female friends. If I had looked closely, I might have seen the Trojan condoms in her Lucite handbag; Anastasia was a wealthy divorcée who got her kicks by pimping for the secret society of artistic, homosexual men in the East Memphis neighborhood.
She threw raucous, extravagant parties where handsome young men and older patrician gentlemen were introduced. Women were invited also, but they tended to be in their 50s and 60s and were oblivious to Anastasia’s lascivious machinations.
[music: Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana]
Poor Maurice, the surgeon. He was so depressed last night because of a terrible fight that he had with his wife. She and their sixteen-year-old daughter ganged up against him.
He said his wife had lost her emotional softness ever since she published her first novel. Now she lacks compassion and patience, according to him.
What he—and, unfortunately, many men–want in marriage: cook, lover, mother, servant, nursemaid.
God forbid his wife would seek accomplishments of her own! And he was furious when he discovered that she had a lover, too. Of course, the scrofulous physician had been unfaithful to his wife on their honeymoon!
What do I remember most about him? His underwear. He always bought it in Switzerland—the softest briefs I ever touched.
The married English WASP who actually used a cigarette holder! He was an executive with a large advertising agency, but always an aspiring writer. His novel, The Girl Watcher, was published while we were dating.
He liked to have sex with me in sleazy motels in Westchester. His wife was an entomologist, who spent 12 hours daily studying the social organization of ant groups.
The handsome, charismatic art student who worked part-time as a security guard at the Museum of Modern Art. We had sex on a couch in a bedroom, while a wild party was going on in the host’s living room.
The skinny, Australian investment banker who said that my birth control foam smelled like Pabulum.
The much older advertising executive who liked for me to hold his penis when he peed.
The mustached Hungarian who liked for me to sit on his face.
The married uber rich Greek, tall and very slim, who picked me up in his white Rolls Royce. After a lavish meal at La Caravelle, we returned to my apartment. He followed me into the bedroom, but instead of approaching me for a kiss and whatever, he headed to my closet and pulled out a negligee. He then proceeded to pull the silk garment over his head!
My strict Southern upbringing held me back from so many fascinating opportunities, because the culture in which I was raised hammered [sledge hammer] in the importance of being a soft-spoken, gentle, self-effacing, well-mannered lady. And I always flourished at following the rules.
Rebellion was only possible later on in my secret life of men and questionable sexual mores.
The perfect Southern female of the ’60s and early ’70s was a reserved lady in the living room and an enthusiastic whore in the bedroom; I managed the duality pretty well.
The married French radiologist, Pierre, with the severe features of a Christian Schad portrait, whose patients included many celebrities and Manhattan socialites.
Our first date was in the King Cole bar of the St. Regis Hotel. We drank champagne and kir. A very attractive young woman sat alone nearby. He invited her to join us for dinner at Gino’s restaurant on Lexington. She accepted. The dinner was just dinner. She was an actress from Los Angeles and had come to New York to work on a film. Pierre wanted a ménage à trois; but it didn’t happen. (I think she was just an expensive hooker looking for customers.)
He came over to my apartment once a week with a cheap bottle of Beaujolais, some smelly French cheese, purple grapes, and Carr’s crackers.
We met in an elevator in the office building where both of us worked, when he complimented my black fedora with the wide brim. He liked to spank me, lightly and playfully, and talk dirty simultaneously.
The South African psychiatrist whose fingernails were always dirty because he rode his bicycle everywhere and kept it well oiled. He thought I desperately needed him because of my unsavory childhood. We met on the street when he almost ran over me.
The Italian who always giggled before and after sex. He gargled his snot and rinsed his teeth at meals with coffee. That was a very short-term relationship.
The loquacious Jewish art director who airbrushed photos for multinational cosmetic companies. He liked for me to wear a black garter belt and long silk stockings. He called me his Egon Schiele woman. We met in front of Rousseau’s “The Sleeping Gypsy” at the Museum of Modern Art on West 53rd Street.
The Jewish-Russian taxi driver who became a wealthy sportswear manufacturer. One night he invited his best friend to join us in bed. I dated both of them, and several times the three of us went to bed together. We practiced sixty-nine as though we were characters in Fellini’s Satyricon (which had been produced in 1969).
The Irish man whose immense fingers looked like Polish sausage—large Kielbasa.
The Swiss doctor whose wife had died from breast cancer when she was in her 30s. He sent their three children to live with the grandparents in Geneva. His favorite companion was his adorable black Labrador, Othello, who sat at the dinner table with us. Othello loved bread and cheese.
The Israeli who was also in the clothing business. A garmento as we call them in New York. Every summer, he sent his wife and children to Israel for an extended vacation, so that he could chase women in Manhattan. On Monday nights, he always played poker with some friends, except when I was available.
The West Point jock who remained unhappily married for 30 years until his neighbors in Greenwich, Connecticut, started getting divorced; he then believed divorce was socially acceptable. A very sweet man and wonderful lover. He loved to go to piano bars and dance.
I hated piano bars and dancing, but if I drank enough vodka stingers and cognac, I had dancing feet that wouldn’t quit, and the following day I would have the blisters to prove it.
Once again, in a twisted way, I was fulfilling the expectations of my mother…when I was two years old, she flamboyantly dressed me as Mae West and entered me in a costume contest.
I won.
CHILDREN’S BOOK:
So, Cathy, the cow, gently guided them to
To their winter sleigh rides behind the caboose of the train on the lane that you could
watch through your own windowpane!
And across over there….
In the dreariest weather
The color of ink….
And will gleefully make them pay through the nose!
“Now, now pretty critters,z’ he said.
They all were quite happy with their brand-new designs.
They got lots of attention and honorable mention
From the fashion tabloid.
A trend had begun ‘cause of black spots and red dots.

Movies That Ruined My Childhood
Little Box of Horrors: The Mummy
Posted by Nathan Worcester
I’ve returned to one of my old haunts, trying to scare up a movie so bad that it makes me howl with joy. Can the Hannaford RedBox in Westbrook Maine sate my appetite or am I forever cursed?
My Mummy Warned Me About Movies Like You
It’s Halloween soon, so this go around I decided to find some holiday appropriate fare. I was originally going to rent the horror flick with the lowest Redbox.com rating, but the trailer for that movie was too cruel. It was probably the film they used in A Clockwork Orange to break the inmates spirits. But the trailer gave me an idea: I will let the trailer for three films be my Ouija Board, and the one that looks like the cheesiest wins!
Dead Again in Tombstone (2017): The trailer was nowhere near as fun as I thought this film was going to be. Danny Trejo is a dumpster full of dropkicks, but he’s the same dumpster every time these days, and it’s beginning to wear thin.
The Mummy (2017): Tom Cruise was on a hot streak of “like the movie because you hate me” before he decided to cock that up by going back to “no really, I’m an A-list action star”. The trailer did enough to make me think this movie is more Edge of Tomorrow than Mission: Impossible- Infinity +1, however.
Boo! A Madea Halloween (2016): Jeez Louis, Tyler Perry pooped out Boo 2 only a year after the first one? Show a little restraint, man. The jokes in the trailer look better than anything the Wayans brothers have done, but that is damning Tyler Perry with faint praise.
So, which movie is going to get the apple that doesn’t have a razor-blade in it?
The Mummy (2017)
Nick Morton is a somewhat charming scumbag (good to see Tom Cruise really expanding his range here). A military scout in the US army, Nick abuses his position to scout out ancient relics worth selling on the black market. A tryst with an archeologist (Annabelle Wallis) has landed him a map to his next payday, but this one is going to bite him in the butt. The tomb he’s raiding wasn’t for a royal burial, it was a royal prison. An ancient Egyptian queen made a deal with Set. After her attempt to bring the Egyptian God of Death into the mortal realm went bandaged tits up, she was buried alive.
Um, guys? Even the screaming Pharaoh thinks this is a horrible idea.
Of course Nick makes a giant mess of things, and now the mummified Queen Ahmanet is loose in London, trying to make him the new vessel for evil incarnate. It’s up to Nick and a secret society led by one Henry Jeckyll (Russell Crowe) to put the thousand year old toothpaste back in the tube before the world meets its doom.
Plus-One
The Mummy had a lot of baggage riding its bandage-tails, being both a serious reboot of a campy franchise as well as being the vanguard of Universal’s “Dark Universe”. This movie was aiming to be the opening salvo that would bring back all of Universal’s classic movie monsters, and it needed to be a popcorn gorging good time.
The CGI is top notch in this film, but I really enjoyed the practical effects more. Especially this scene.
Director Alex Kurtzman could have gone for campy fun; he could have elected to lean into the schlocky spook fest of Boris Karloff’s original 1932 film. Instead, he decided to go with a AAA action blockbuster. I really don’t get that decision, but I have to admit the action is pretty good. The key to this film’s sarcophagus was doing something you’ve seen before, but right before you mind revolts adding something new. I don’t know if it was intentional, but giving a new wrinkle to an old bit just when you think the bit is done works. There was so many times I was about to go “Oh, Really?” just to have a unique element pop up. It got me to trust the movie a little more, and it was the standout aspect.
Thief! Thieeeeeeef!
The aspect of the film that I really didn’t like at all was all the theft going on in this film, and I’m not talking about raiding lost arcs. This movie takes all its cultural bona fides and smashes it through a lens of white-male power fantasy. Why the hell is most of this movie in London? And why is Cruise the lead when Jennifer (the secret society archeologist) is a more logical choice? His gigolo with a heart of gold crap was eye-rolling. I also didn’t buy his feelings for Jennifer in the least. And the ending? That made me want to curse screenwriters Steven Koepp and Christopher McQuarrie to the hell of being cut to ribbons.
I believe I can’t die, I believe I can blot out the sky….
You want a dark protagonist for this film? How about Sofia Boutella, who does an above average job as the titular Mummy. She has presence, physicality as well as physical beauty, and her baddie is a gleefully ruthless power-fiend. Her origin story was very interesting, even if it was a little cliché. A better written story would have had the society foil her, then recruit her. Instead they pulled a DC Cinematic Universe; tying their fortunes to two past-their-prime action stars in Cruise and Crowe.
This movie was above average as far as action blockbusters go. But it had some elements I can’t forgive, and it really didn’t have a vibe or aesthetic that lends itself to setting up a universe. Marvel has colorful, action packed spandex wanks, DC has dark and murdery. Even the X-men have found their niche. This felt like a standalone film through and through, and I don’t see it igniting a monster mash-up.
“I’ve got an idea! Lets call up Affleck and see if he wants to do a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen reboot!”
The Mummy is a pretty good film, but pretty good doesn’t cut it here. Time to put this DVD back in it’s embalming fluid and set out in search of something a little fresher.

DEC and Schools – making STEM count
The future of DT | Who can teach DEC? | Student Engagement | Qualifications | Delivery | Assessment | Become a DEC School
Design…Engineer…Construct!® (DEC) is a new qualification that offers teachers and learners the opportunity to develop a range of skills and knowledge fundamental to successful engagement in technical and professional aspects of the Construction and Built Environment sector of industry.
There is little understanding of these professions and few young people aspire to a career in this important sector of the British and global economy. By embarking on the DEC programme your school can be instrumental in educating the future of construction and changing the lives of young people.
Sitting perfectly on your DT carousel or as a subject in its own right, there is a way to teach DEC that suits you and your students.
Look who’s delivering DEC
The future of DT
At KS4 there is no requirement for young people to take a Design Technology GCSE and current plans indicate there will be just two DT GCSEs available – one in Food and a single course covering a wide range of skills previously presented separately in a far more substantial portfolio of GCSE courses.
The proposal currently under consultation is for all work to be undertaken within a very limited range of contexts, very few of which relate directly to sectors of industry where the more serious skills gaps are.
Open up your DT options
This does not mean less choice for teachers and learners in DT – new and exciting courses such as DEC can be included in the KS4 option choices alongside the GCSE giving young people access to a wide range of meaningful pathways.
With DEC students will experience genuine Project Based Learning and work with industry. They will develop key DT skills such as research, understanding context, generation of ideas and development of solutions through to final modelling, an understanding of materials, and an insight into post construction management and behaviours.
Best of all these young people will acquire the knowledge and skills that will open many new opportunities for them to pursue a professional or technical career in the Built Environment sector. This includes aspirational and rewarding careers such as surveying, architecture, engineering, construction management, sustainability management, and many more.
YOU can teach DEC
You may be thinking “How on earth can I teach my students about the Built Environment? It’s not my subject!”
Don’t panic! Most of our DEC Teachers had no prior experience of the Built Environment. DEC is being taught by Design Technology Teachers, Maths Teachers, Science Teachers and Geography Teachers. Even the English department gets involved.
If you’re still unsure as to whether DEC is for you, we invite you to talk to our teachers and find out how they are doing it.
You’re never on your own with DEC
We pride ourselves in training and supporting teachers until they can grab the DEC reins and ‘go it alone’.
Access to experienced DEC Teachers and their classes
Mentoring and CPD programmes
Progressive Training Schemes
Industry Work Placements for teachers
Professional face-to-face training
Fantastic online resources
Engage ALL your students
Whether your students are mad about maths, or crazy about creativity, DEC offers something for everyone. It inspires and raises the aspirations of young people to consider Construction and the Built Environment as a valuable career path.
All learners – girls and boys alike – discover real world applications of science, technology, engineering and maths and learn how to be a professional and be employable.
Young people can go on to access a whole range of exciting professional career pathways through:
Support from industry professionals
Access to industry tools & software
Strong links to universities
Meaningful work experience
High value apprenticeship schemes
Real world challenges and competitions
“William is enjoying DEC enormously and is very excited about all the career options the course is giving him and has not stopped working on his Hotel Underground project for the past week.”

SCOTTISH SCHOOLS
Design Engineer Construct!® has now been formally recognised in Scotland thanks to the key support of the Chartered Institute of Building.
Comprising an introductory (“level 1”) and intermediate (“level 2”) programme of study, DEC has been credit rated onto the SCQF by SQA’s Credit Rating Service at SCQF Levels 4 and 6, both carrying 16 credits. SCQF levels 4 and 6 correspond to level 2 and 4 on the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
DEC qualifications, formally known as ‘Designing, Engineering and Constructing a Sustainable Built Environment’, are comparable in demand to that of a National 4 and National 6 qualification.
For clarification, these are not SQA awarded National Qualifications, however SQA have performed the role as a credit rating body to ensure that DEC qualifications have a recognised level on the SCQF and that candidates will be awarded credit points for potential credit transfer onto further study if required.
As these qualifications are privately owned, centres who are interested in delivering them would not be required to enter or result candidates through SQA systems.

DEC offers all learners embedded opportunities to become Independent Enquirers, Creative Thinkers, Reflective Learners, Team Workers, Self Managers and Effective Participants.
Learning in context
Integral to the activities within the Design Engineer Construct!® programme is an understanding of number and a requirement for good standards of literacy.
Embedded within the learning tasks are lots of opportunities for learners to explore the need for mathematical knowledge by understanding where and how it is applied in the world of work.
Similarly, literacy skills are enhanced by integrated opportunities to prepare reports, presentations, feedback – oral and written, and other types of language based outcomes many of which are presented to industry specialists.
Learners naturally work to the required standards as they understand the contextual requirements intuitively.
Design Engineer Construct!® also enables learners to explore some of the key themes that challenge society in general through particular examples and projects within the built environment sector.
The project based learning approach to these key themes encourages young people to fully understand and explore topics, to appreciate local and national contexts, and to understand the complexities of finding solutions to important issues.

DEC offers a new and innovative project based approach to learning that is both challenging and rewarding.
By working their way through an online workbook, learners will develop knowledge and skills by undertaking a sustainable building project and, through the complementary workshops, have guaranteed face to face engagement with industry professionals.
There are many opportunities for cross curricular learning including explicit opportunities for Maths, English and Science as well as for other aspects of the wider curriculum such as Citizenship and PHSE.
Design an Eco Classroom – a STEM focused Enterprise Day
As a fundamental part of the curriculum programme, students undertake workshops led by industry professionals.
The Eco Classroom workshop is a fun day. Students take on the roles and responsibilities of a Building Design company to create a standalone Eco Classroom for their local community and for school use.
“I would like to express a huge thanks for last week’s workshop.
It was a fantastic to work with you … DEC at Graveney will have a colossal effect …”
Hermione Lewis, Graveney School
All levels are based on coursework, with a multiple-choice test at Level 1 and a grading exam at Level 2 and 3.
A key outcome of the Design Engineer Construct!® curriculum is that learners undertake a project encompassing a wide range of skills, activities and experiences linked to the real world of work and the built environment.
It is essential that these learning outcomes should be organised by the learner into an e-portfolio where possible. This can then be stored in an appropriate format to enable assessment and moderation including retrieval of elements as moderation samples.
Students will produce comprehensive e-portfolios that will be ideal to showcase their skills and understanding to future employers or further and higher education. Only those parts of the portfolios that show evidence of learning against the subject criteria need be submitted for moderation and wherever possible electronic evidence is encouraged. The Student Workbook is constructed to encourage the development of the e-portfolio with lots of hints and tips about the variety of documents and formats learners may produce.
The accompanying teacher handbook identifies essential subject criteria and appropriate points in the learning where evidence can be gathered to meet them.

About Dynamic Dungeons
Dynamic Dungeons is a one-man effort to get tabletop gaming looking as good as possible. My name is Tamas, a Hungarian 3D designer, musician and dungeon master, father of two.
I started making living maps in 2018. In less than two years a supportive community of more than 3000 patrons has been developed around this concept and turned it to a full-time job.
I am extremely grateful to my generous patrons who made this possible. Be a part of it, join now!
Welcome To Dynamic Dungeons
DD Editor & Player
How to play on the TV screen with minis?
Playing on the Tv screen is easier than you think. Simply lay flat your TV. You can protect the screen with a cheap plexiglass sheet, and use dry or wet erase markers on it, so miniatures and dice rolls won’t damage the surface of the Tv. You can also project down the video onto a physical table with a HD projector.
Mike Mearls D&D 5th edition senior creative director with Joe Manganiello playing the Galleon from Dynamic Dungeons
How can the grid be displayed precisely as a 1” grid?
The gridded HD maps are optimized for a 40” Tv, where the size of the squares are exactly 1”. The 4k maps are optimized for a 50”TV.
If you have smaller or larger screen, I suggest to play the gridless versions of the maps with the Dynamic Dungeons Editor and Player app where you can set custom hexa and quad grid overlay.
TV or projector?
Although both solutions are possible, TVs are more widespread and it’s what I would recommend as well. Let’s look at the pros and cons for the various forms of display:
Horizontal or table-installed TV
superb brilliance and contrast even in bright surroundings at an affordable price
The TV remote controller offers fast access to detailed color settings, which can effectively modify the display
HDMI audio is available through the speakers of the TV
the screen has to be protected with Plexiglas against scratches
The use of metal dice should be avoided on Plexiglas surfaces and it should be protected against spills from drinks (unless the display is installed under a closed protective surface)
No need to protect the projected surface from spilled drinks or scratches
Play surfaces of varying sizes can be projected depending on the positioning of the device
Designing a suspension system and mounting a projector on the ceiling can be difficult and troublesome
Only the most expensive devices offer the contrast and brilliance of a TV set in bright surroundings
The hands of players cast a shadow on the table
produces heat and noise
Most projectors don’t feature speakers or in a lower quality than TVs.
What kind of TV should I use?
A 40” full HD resolution LCD device is a perfect choice. If you are planning to buy a TV for gaming purposes, I recommend choosing a device with HDMI ports on the side and not the back. Avoid using TVs with an installed glass surface significantly distanced from the screen surface. (This was typical of older models. Due to the distance between the glass surface and the screen, you might experience a floating effect when viewing the figures placed on the screen from the side)
A 30” screen is fine, yet it will result in a smaller play surface, and you should consider buying the Dynamic Dungeons Player to apply 1″ grid on the videomaps.
Will it harm my TV if I lay it down on its back and put miniatures on top of it?
You can use plasma, lcd or Led Tv (wich is basically an LCD screen, but with LED backlighting), but which type TV it is doesn’t really matter for this predicament, as no flat screen is filled with floating gasses or millions of drops of anti-gravity techno-color liquids :). Nothing is going to settle at the bottom of your screen no matter how many years it stands on your table or hangs on your wall.
No, it’s not going to harm your TV internally to lay it down.
Special ventilation is only suggested if you have a built-in tv enclosed in the table.
How can I play the motion maps?
All media players are suitable, yet I recommend using Quicktime on Mac and Movies & TV app works nice on Windows. The Dynamic Dungeons Editor and Player can loop the videos smoothly. Additionally, it offers the advantage of playing videos with quad and hex grids, fog of war settings, tokens and particle effects.
What is Dynamic Dungeons Editor?
Dynamic Dungeons Editor and Player is a three-in-one desktop application for MAC and PC. It was developed for game masters and it includes Editor, Player and Manager.
With Editor, you can create a storyline of videos and pictures for your role-playing game, and map different backgrounds, png images, particle effects and audio files.
Once you’re done with the map in Editor, you can open the saved story with the Manager, which lets you easily navigate through pre-made scenes, reveal parts of Fog of war, and adjust props while it’s played in real time in the third app, Player.
The program is designed to make a four-way playlist of my pre-made videos, custom grid and apply Fog of War.
Although there are many customization options available and custom maps can be created with the application, be aware that Dynamic Dungeons maps are not made with this app, but in various 3D software. This application is actually for looping and customizing the maps I make.
Can the maps be purchased separately?
My maps are only available through Patreon for the time being, yet the older maps will soon be available separately and in thematic packs. Chaotic good level supporters can make purchases through the webshop (coming soon) at a 50% discount.
How much does it cost to be a patron per month?
As I usually add three rewards per month, it will cost you 15 dollars a month to be a chaotic good patron. If you feel that’s too much, you can set a limit, e.g. a 10 dollar cap for your support. You can delete your support at any time. Read more about it here.
Is there a list of the previously released maps?
Yes, here’s the list: PATREON ARCHIVE CATALOG 2018-2019
If I decide to become a supporter, will I have access to previously released maps?
Yes, you will have free, instant access to all (more than 100) previously released maps, which you can download without making any additional payments. When joining, you can choose a donation tier for future releases.
What is a map pack?
A reward consists of more than a single map and instead involves at least two or even more designs. New releases contain a plain version in the style of the motion maps. I make a number of map variations so the scenes could be used in multiple ways. I will strive to provide an increasing amount of content for future rewards.
Can I request themes?
Yes, I’m happy to hear your suggestions and I’ll do my best to satisfy the requests that inspire me, yet Patreon is fundamentally a platform of support that puts a great deal of emphasis on creative freedom.
Do you also make maps to order?
That depends on how much time I have left in the month apart from the works through Patreon. Should you have any questions, get in touch through the dynamicdungeons@gmail.com address.
Am I allowed to use the maps on a roleplaying live stream?
Yes, I’m happy to see my maps in action. Please mention or give credit in the description to Dynamic Dungeons. The preferred citation is the URL to my Patreon page, which is: https://www.patreon.com/dynamicdungeons

New York Jets QB Trevor Siemian out for the year with an ankle injury
AP Photo/Bill Kostroun
New York Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian has been declared out for the season after suffering an ankle injury on Monday night.
And just like that, the New York Jets are down to their third quarterback heading into Week 3. Their opponent is none other than the defending Super Bowl champions—the New England Patriots.
On Monday night, in the midst of a 23-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns, backup quarterback Trevor Siemian went down with an injury in the second quarter after taking a hard hit from Browns defensive lineman Myles Garrett.
Siemian was in due to Sam Darnold‘s mononucleosis diagnosis, which will keep the 2018 draft selection out for multiple weeks. Siemian didn’t return and now won’t return for the rest of the year.
Jets QB Trevor Siemian is out for the year with an ankle injury, according to Adam Gase.
— Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) September 17, 2019
The Jets finished out the game with Luke Falk at quarterback and will continue with him in the coming weeks until Darnold comes back. It’s still unclear what exact week Darnold will return. The second-year quarterback is reportedly hopeful that he can return after the team’s bye in Week 4.
Regardless, the Jets will need him healthy sooner rather than later. Their next four games include two against New England, with one each against the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles.
Siemian completed three of his six throws for three yards before he left with the injury.
Falk then finished out the game having completed 20 of his 25 throws for 198 yards. He was sacked twice by the Cleveland defense.
The former Washington State University quarterback will suit up this Sunday at Gillette Stadium for their 1:00 p.m. ET matchup.

They agree on a lot of things - what to make for dinner, where to go on vacation, which TV drama to binge before bed. What they can’t agree on? The temperature, especially at night. He wants to leave all of the windows open, and she's going to bed in a full sweatsuit.
The Constant Traveler
She’s done this before, so she’s prepared: memory foam neck pillow, a ZzzQuil tablet, six hours of pre-downloaded true crime podcasts. But alas, even the most prepared traveler can’t beat the freezing temperature of the plane. She’s colder than her mother-in-law was to her last year after she decided to stay home and “do something small” for the holidays.

A young wizard, a noble duke, and the potion that changes D’Vaire forever.
Since arriving at the Draconis Court of D’Vaire at the age of sixteen, Idris has done everything he can think of to make his new family proud of him. After five years of challenging work, he is finally poised to reach the highest rank within the Spectra Wizardry. The only glaring thing missing is his mate. While he may be young, Idris wants to share his heart with his other half, so he asks Fate to send him a nice dragon who will be kind to him and his familiar. He does not want to be demanding but Idris knows without him he won’t be complete.
Duke Macardle “Mac” Stenetdraconis’s days are centered around his amazing grandparents who raised him. When his grandfather suggests he apply for a new duke position at Court D’Vaire, he is intrigued. It is a place that has opened its doors as a sanctuary and he’s drawn to the idea of helping others. When he arrives, he finds himself with a small dragon familiar on his lap. Minutes later, the owner of that familiar saunters through the door and Mac’s heart is instantly hooked on the irresistible wizard. Determined to make Idris his, the pair soon find themselves tested by life. Their love turns out to the anchor Mac cannot do without while Idris opens the door to a new future for his family.
“Does anyone have a ball or anything?” Mac asked.
Idris lifted a hand and within seconds, an indigo sphere appeared. He tossed it to Mac, who bounced it in Greggory’s direction. When the familiar used his head to return it, Roger flew off his shoulder and landed on the floor, so he could play too. Two of the young men Mac was sworn to protect were sitting at a round table placed in the office designed for Delaney and Idris. The sorcerers were painstakingly going through the two boxes of warlock books and scrolls found in the Arch Lich’s library. Dra’Kaedan insisted the two get first crack at everything since they were still seeking research ideas. Duff was presumably in his room working on his own studies.
It left Mac with barely anything to do. When Mac discovered how little he knew of sorcery, he went to Aleksander and explained his problem. He wasn’t content to spend his days sitting around. If he was going to oversee the protection of two wizards, he needed to be able to assist them in some way. Aleksander agreed and called the Prism Wizard. Vadimas was receptive to the problem, and Mac was expecting his own box, full of basic magic books, to arrive soon. He might not be able to cast but he could learn, and he was determined to be an asset to Delaney and Idris. If they weren’t trying to reach the pinnacle of their education and power, he would’ve asked them for help, but Mac wasn’t going to get in their way.
In the meantime, Mac could be close to them and entertain the cute dragons who were taking to playing with the ball Idris provided with enthusiasm. He tossed it again and cringed as the two familiars crashed into each other and wiped out. “Sorry, guys,” he offered. Growls were hurled in his direction, but they allowed him to help them off the floor and both waited patiently until he threw their toy again.
“I think I might’ve found something interesting,” Idris announced.
“What is it, sweetheart?”
“It’s written in archaic warlock. I need Dra’Kaedan to translate some of this. It’s a language I’m still learning, but what I can read is really intriguing.”
“Are you going to tell us why?” Delaney inquired.
“Not until I’m sure I am reading this right,” Idris remarked as he stood. “I’m going to go find him.”
“I’m coming too,” Delaney said.
“We’ll play ball later,” Mac told his scaly friends. Roger soared up to his shoulder as soon as Mac was on his feet, and Greggory flew behind them all as they headed toward the office down the hall which housed the Coven of Warlocks. Inside they found Dra’Kaedan, his twin, and his familiar.
“Do you have a minute, Dra’Kaedan?” Idris asked with the scroll held protectively in his hand.
“For you guys, always. What’s up?”
“I found something I can only read parts of. Can you translate the rest?”
Dra’Kaedan took it from Idris’s hand. The small blond’s eyes grew wide with shock as they moved down the parchment in his grasp. When he was finished, he handed it to his brother. Dre’Kariston’s reaction was the same as his twin’s; then it was passed to Renny.
“This can’t be real,” Renny declared when he was done. “I mean really. This can’t be fucking real. How’s this possible? Because if it is, my brain’s going to explode.”

Volkswagen Partners With Microsoft To Develop Connected Cars
Business September 30, 2018, 3:28 pm
Berlin: In its bid to become a mobility provider with fully connected vehicle fleet, German automobile group Volkswagen has entered into a strategic partnership with Microsoft to leverage the US software giant's Cloud expertise.
As part of the partnership, the two companies will collaborate to develop the "Volkswagen Automotive Cloud", a dedicated platform for all future Volkswagen digital services and mobility offerings. In the future, Volkswagen's fleet of cars will become mobile Internet of Things (IoT) hubs linked by Microsoft Azure, the German car maker said in a statement this week.
"The strategic partnership with Microsoft will turbocharge our digital transformation," said Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess.
Via the Volkswagen Automotive Cloud, the automobile group plans to optimise the interconnection of vehicle, Cloud-based platform and customer-centric services for all brands. "Volkswagen is harnessing technology to digitally transform and deliver innovative new connected car services to its customers," said Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft.
"The world's leading companies run on Azure, and we are thrilled that Volkswagen has chosen Microsoft. Together we will reimagine the driving experience for people everywhere," Nadella said.
From 2020 onwards, more than five million new Volkswagen-brand vehicles per year will be fully connected and will be part of the IoT in the Cloud, Volkswagen said. In the future, all in-car services for vehicles of the core Volkswagen brand as well as the Group-wide Cloud-based platform will be built on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform and services as well as Azure IoT Edge.
Volkswagen said it would also establish a new automotive Cloud development office in North America near Microsoft's headquarters. (IANS)

This 4-part paper reports results of a survey on 230 farms with <50 ha or <25 head of livestock. About 60% of the farms in Costa Rica are of this size. 83.5% of the farms surveyed kept dual-purpose cattle and 15.3% specialized in dairying. 73.9% combined crop production with cattle farming. On dual-purpose farms the cows were milked once/day, in the presence of the calf, which was kept with the cow until weaned.

Funding for Agricultural Research and Development Public Goods
An ongoing stream of EPAR research considers how public good characteristics of different types of research and development (R&D) and the motivations of different providers of R&D funding affect the relative advantages of alternative funding sources. For this project, we seek to summarize the key public good characteristics of R&D investment for agriculture in general and for different subsets of crops, and hypothesize how these characteristics might be expected to affect public, private, or philanthropic funders’ investment decisions.

Review of Digital Financial Services Consumer Protection Regulations in Developing Countries
In Sub-Saharan Africa, 12% of adults now report having a mobile money account, representing over a quarter of the share of those who have any kind of financial account at all. As mobile money expands, there is interest in how regulatory frameworks develop to support digital financial services (DFS) and also support broader financial inclusion. In theory, protecting consumers from risk, and ensuring that they have the information and understanding required to make informed decisions, may increase their confidence and trust in mobile money systems, leading to higher adoption and usage rates. However, consumer protection regulations may also carry certain trade-offs in terms of cost, usage, and innovation. The challenge, according to proponents of consumer protection, is to develop regulations that promote access and innovation, yet still offer an acceptable level of consumer protection. We review the literature on consumer protection institutions and regulatory documents for DFS (particularly mobile money) in 22 developing countries, and identify examples of specific consumer protection regulations relevant to mobile money in each country.

Review of National Identity Programs in Developing Countries
We review the status and characteristics of 48 national identity programs and initiatives in 43 developing countries, and evaluate how these programs are being connected to—or used for—service provision. The identity programs we review are mainly government-issued national IDs. However, we also review other types of national identity programs with links to various services including voter cards, passports, and two programs targeting the poor and the banking population. Following a brief review of the roles of identity systems in development and recent identity system trends, we present an overview of the 48 national identity programs, including technical features (such as whether physical identities incorporate an electronic component or are embedded with biometric features), implementation status, population enrollment strategies, and coverage. We next review evidence of implementation challenges around accountability, privacy, data management, enrollment, coverage, cost, and harmonization of identity programs. Finally, we present the functional applications of national identity programs, reporting how these programs are linked with services in finance, health, agriculture, elections, and other areas, and analyzing whether particular identity program characteristics are associated with functional applications.

GC2012 – brief visit by a small bird!
April 30, 2012 November 25, 2014 Expeditions IMG
Date: 30th April | Location: Greenland ice sheet | Weather: no wind and good visibility
30/4 22:52 (GMT) No wind yesterday but it was snowing a bit. So today it was hard to drag the pulkas. At noon today the wind got a lot stronger. Tonight when Róbert called there was no wind and good visibility.
They did 16,5 km yesterday and 14 km today. The elevation is 2213m so they only have about 250 vertical meters left to the highest point. After they reach the highest point the fall-wind should stop teasing them. They also start to go downwards instead of upwards so the speed will go up. They have now done 170 km total.
In the evenings they have been enjoying beautiful sunsets despite the wind. Today they were briefly visited by a small bird. It obviously didn´t like them very much since it flew off right away.
/bh
Beautifull night sky
GC2012 – footprints of a fox!
Date: 28th April | Location: Greenland ice sheet | Weather: windy and snowing with bad visibility
Cooking in a warm tent
28/04 23:32 (GMT): Last two days have been slow. There are lot´s of sastrugis around that make it hard to drag the heavy pulkas forward. The weather has been sup-optimal to say the least, windy and snowing and the visibility bad. Cause of the wind they’ve been using the tarp when they take breaks. The temperature was high yesterday, up to 1°C when it was snowing, colder today and down to -16°C this evening.
It looks like the weather might be a challenge for a bit longer. The winds are predicted to be high tomorrow with some snow fall. Less wind on Monday but it might be snowing even more. Let´s see how that goes.
The team did 14,3 km yesterday and 14,2 km today. The elevation now is 2068m and they have done 139 km total so about 400 km left to go.
They are obviously not alone up there. Róbert said they saw footprints of a fox in the snow today.
GC2012 – 2 meters of snow!
Date: 26th April | Location: Greenland ice sheet | Weather: windy and snowing quite a bit
26/4 23:11 (GMT) Yesterday the team got caught in a bad weather ( > 15 m/s) and had to stay put for the day. It was snowing a lot and they had to spend most of the day clearing snow off the tents. The morning after they had to dig out the skis (that stood upright) since it had snowed a lot and there were more than two meters around the tents and everything was covered. After this there are big sastrugis all over that will probably slow them down for a while.
After the 0 km day they had a good one today and did 15,4 km even though it was hard to pull the load in the demanding conditions after the heavy snowfall. The visibility was very bad until noon and after that they could see the sun every now and then.
When in night camp on the 26th they had done 109 km total and the altitude is 1890m.
GC2012 – Hugh’s birthday
Date: 24th April | Location: Greenland ice sheet | Weather: Good skiing conditions and clear skies
24/4 15:57 (GMT): The team is going about 18km each day now, a good pace. It´s been cloudy and a bit windy lately but now it´s better. The sky is clear again and the temperature has gone up. In the nights the temp is about -20°C and about -10°C when they are getting up in the morning. Around noon today the temp was around 0°C, pretty nice.
Yesterday they celebrated Hugh’s birthday with balloons and a cake and had bacon with the dinner as a special treat 🙂
Update 25/4 : Due to bad weather conditions, the team will stay put in the camp today
Hugh’s birthday
GC2012 – steady progress!
Date: 21st April | Location: Greenland ice sheet | Weather: Good skiing conditions and a blue sunny sky
21/4 22:16 (GMT): In the latest call from Róbert and his team, he said that things are going very well. They still have good skiing conditions and sunny but cold weather (-25°C). They skied 15,2 km yesterday and 16,1 today.
Update: Night camp 22nd og April added.
GC2012 – early start on the Hahn glacier!
19/4 22:56 (GMT): Since everything was ready and the helecopter available the expedition decided to take advantage of the good conditions and set out a day earlyer than planned. After arriving up on Hahn glacier they skied from 14:30-17:30 and made about 10 km. Excellent snow conditions with superb blues skies! A bit of cold was bothering some members of the team but hopfully nothing that will increase.
Update: Night camp 20th april added.
GC2012 – the expedition begins!
Date: 17th & 18th April | Location: Reykjavík – Kulusuk – Tasiilaq | Weather: Bright and Sunny
Expedition members arrived in sunny Reykjavík on April 16th and had a gear prep meeting with the leader the same afternoon. After some repacking with a lot of thoughts about the stuff to take along and the stuff to leave behind they went to the domestic airport and boarded the plane for Kulusuk. Now the Expediton is finally real and the waiting is over. Once in Kulusuk – a lively Inuit village, a helicopter will take them to the metropolis of the Angmassalik area, Tasiilaq where the final gear prep takes place.
Map of the Progress
GC2012 – the 7th expedition IMG leeds over the Greenland ice sheet:
The course is set to cross Greenland Glacier from Ammassalik/Kulusuk on the East Coast to Sondre Stromfjord on the West Coast. From Tasiilaq expedition members will be flown by helicopter onto the Hahn-glacier at about 900 meters (2700 feet) altitude, where the skis will take over for the next 540 km (335 miles) or so. From Hahn glacier it takes about 10 days to climb up to the highest part of the Ice sheet on this route, topping off at 2500 m. Then it takes about a week to get from the summit to the phantom radar station DYE 2, surely one of the most bizarre buildings on the planet (used to monitor the Russians during the Cold War). From this strange place it takes from around 5 days to get to Terra firma – Hill 660, the landfall on the western side of the ice sheet.
The Guide:
Róbert Þór, the expedition leader, is one of Icelandic Mountain Guides most experienced guides. He has been with the company for over a decade and led many of IMG’s most demanding hiking and backpacking tours. His latest this winter was a 9 members cross country ski expediton over Sprengisandur-Center Iceland, from the north to the south.

Adams and Reese brings Christmas cheer to Goodwill employee and her family
Law firm continues tradition of giving back through 'HUGS' holiday charitable initiative
Published Thursday, December 14, 2017
SARASOTA, FL – A standout Goodwill team member was recently granted a multitude of reasons to celebrate this holiday season as her family was selected to be the beneficiary of the Adams and Reese Sarasota office’s HUGS Program. Goodwill Manasota employee Dontavia Smith and her three daughters will receive items including a Christmas tree and decorations, a complete ham Christmas dinner from Publix, $300 in gas cards, clothing for all members of the family, and an extensive list of toys – including a bicycle, arts and crafts activities, numerous learning toys, and Barbie dolls – for the girls.
Smith, who is a single parent, has lived in Sarasota all her life, graduating from Booker High School. She has worked at Goodwill since April of 2015. She is one of the top hangers at Goodwill’s Mecca store and also works as a cashier; she is considered a role model who is always ready and able to pitch in when and where needed.
Her top priority is providing for her daughters. She sets her standards high so that her children will see the benefits of hard work and responsibility. Smith was just thrilled when her family was “adopted” by Adams and Reese – she is deeply grateful for all that has been done in order for her family to have an exceptional Christmas.
This is the 29th year of the Adams and Reese HUGS community service and philanthropic program – HUGS stands for Hope, Understanding, Giving and Support, and is the holiday charitable initiative through which the firm donates time, financial resources and assistance to more than 200 organizations throughout its service area.
“For the past six years, Adams and Reese has proudly partnered with Goodwill Manasota through our HUGS volunteer program to provide holiday gifts and necessities for special families in need,” said Jason Gaskill, Adams and Reese Sarasota partner in charge. “Our Sarasota team members enjoyed shopping for gifts and seasonal surprises for our family as well as providing them with necessities many of us might take for granted. We are grateful to Goodwill for continuing to provide us with opportunities to reach out into our community and help deserving families have a truly memorable holiday season.”
“We are thrilled by the generosity of Adams and Reese, which will help to make this the best Christmas ever for Dontavia and her children. Adams and Reese is a model of corporate social responsibility, always looking for ways that they can give back to the community,” said Goodwill Manasota vice president Veronica Brandon Miller. “We can’t thank the generous team at Adams and Reese enough for reaching out to touch the lives of those in need in our community.”

Liam Payne...
Liam Payne named brand ambassador for Hugo
Hugo, the younger, edgier label of Hugo Boss' portfolio, has named former One Direction band member Liam Payne as its newest brand ambassador. Payne will collaborate with the brand and their creative director, Peter Deirowski, for a capsule collection, and will also be the face of the brand's bodywear collection.
The Hugo x Liam Payne collection will launch this fall, while the bodywear collection was launch for cruise 2020. Both campaigns will be shot by fashion photographer duo Mert & Marcus.
“I knew if I wanted to do something in fashion it should be with Hugo,” Payne said to WWD. “They design clothes that guys like me want to wear. Fashion started out as a hobby for me, but I’m loving being part of the creative process.”
His capsule collection with the brand will be released at Berlin Fashion Week with a presentation and concert. In the spirit of see-now-buy-now the collection will be immediately available after the event.
This is a first-of-its-kind partnership for Hugo Boss, as it is the first time a brand ambassador has had a say in creating an apparel line. In addition to his fashion endeavors, Payne is also working on new music that he plans on releasing on streaming services.

What I’m Listening To
Tag: Childish Gambino
16 of 2016, Pt. 2
To complete Part 1 of my 16 of 2016, here are the remaining 8 tracks I became addicted to the past 365 days.
Say it (feat. Tove Lo) – Flume
I’m pretty sure Flume faced so much pressure after releasing his self-titled debut album last 2012 that it took him 4 years to release a new one. His first album was a complete game-changer, even putting AU in the global electronic music scene. I’m sighing with relief as Skin did not disappoint, avoiding that cursed sophomore slump. Say It, for me, is a true standout as it was able to capitalize on Flume’s signature deep electro sound and Tove Lo‘s pop sensibilities. It made this genre very accessible and easily understandable, yet still aligned with Flume’s true musical identity.
Peace – Kenton Slash Demon
Danish techno and house duo Kenton Slash Demon released an out-of-the-ordinary song this year through Peace, wherein for the first time, they employed full-length vocals for the said track. Their musical style is more instrumental rather than vocal, particularly using quirky samples (the most popular would be the notification sound for the messaging app Line). Peace is the first time they used lyrics and full-fledged vocals, and I feel this experiment was done perfectly well. They became more relatable yet at the same time, were able to retain their dark electro and deep disco vibe which what attracted me in the first place to their music.
Boss – Disclosure
Releasing their 2nd album just a few months prior, Disclosure pleasantly surprised us with their unexpected launch of Moog For Love EP. Boss was my favorite in this 3-track album as it reminded me so much of the songs from their first album Settle. It was the perfect marriage of electro and pop, something that they kind of veered away in Caracal. Boss is packed with deep, funky bass, syncopated synths, and LSS-worthy vocal samples that would make you dance in the middle of H&M while shopping (I did exactly just that at H&M UP Town Center, nakakahiya).
Fade – Kanye West
The first time I listened to The Life of Pablo while driving along Buendia at 5:30 in the morning, I was woken up by this deep dancey bass line that reminded me of George of the Jungle’s theme. I knew off the bat this was going to be my favorite song from the album. Kanye West is a genius, and he knows it. He knows the human voice is the best instrument there is so he made sure this was used by merging Ty Dolla $ign‘s vocals with different gospel-sounding samples to make it as rich- and innovative-sounding as possible. Pairing it up with that controversial music video, you know ‘Ye’s got it and his musical magic won’t fade anytime soon.
You’re the One (feat. Syd) – Kaytranada
This song is just pure classic funk, that is, again, reminiscent of the 70s but made more modern with Kaytra‘s signature fresh synths and up-tempo percussion combo. What makes You’re The One my favorite from 99.9% was Syd‘s simple yet harmonic vocals that gave the song a sexy laid-back nature which kinda reminds of you of those early hip hop songs you’d play on your Walkman. It’s a feel good track all in all, enabling Kaytra to showcase his distinctive electrohop sound.
Night Moves – Roosevelt
Another gem of an artist from Greco-Roman and Future Classic, Roosevelt‘s musical style is so refined as he is able to combine classic disco, funk, modern electro , and even pop in his songs. Night Moves is a testament to that. It is unique yet accessible which makes it very easy to listen (and even dance) to.
Love$ick (feat. A$AP Rocky) – Mura Masa
Mura Masa‘s Lovesick Fuck, in itself was already beautiful to begin with. But this remake with A$AP Rocky was just out of this world, drop-dead, heart-stopping gorgeous. I still fall in love to this song every single time I listen to it. They effortlessly combined hip hop, R&B, tropical house, electro, and techno in one song. And even if it is a combination of all these genres, it still exuded that signature, minimalist vibe that Mura Masa became famous for. It is soooo refreshing yet reminiscent of early 2000s hiphop and 2010 electro at the same time. This is undoubtedly one of the best collaborations of the year and their tandem works effortlessly and perfectly.
Redbone – Childish Gambino
Donald Glover never fails to disappoint. Awaken, My Love! came as a surprise mainly because the whole vibe of the album was not something we expected from ‘Bino. His previous albums were all hardcore hip hop – and this was, well, funk, soul, R&B, gospel, basically, everything but hip hop. He wants show the whole world that he can do anything and everything. Redbone was definitely a testament to that. He showcased his vocal chords more than his rhymes. He proved that he can sing and belt out those falsetto Aretha Franklin-esque notes that can compete with Prince’s. He definitely killed it just in the nick of time, right before the year was about to end.
So there! I made this playlist public on Spotify so you can indulge and be hooked to the songs I obsessed over this 2016. Enjoy! ✌🏿

Minor Victories Announce ‘Orchestral Variations’, Share Video For “Cogs”, Now Premiering via Pitchfork
Minor Victories announce Orchestral Variations, instrumental interpretations of their self-titled debut released earlier this year! Watch the video for “Cogs” now premiering via Pitchfork.
Orchestral Variations is out November 25th (Black Friday) on 180-gram double vinyl.
“I don’t really know that much about music in terms of theory, notes, scales etc. I generally just fuck about with things until it sounds right to my ear… So I guess to call this album ‘Orchestral Variations,’ it would have to be in the loosest ever sense of the term.
When we were putting together the Minor Victories album, a lot of the music came about through string arrangements, motifs, melodies, countermelodies and other such noodlings I was messing about with. This record kind of takes it back to that initial point, and re-imagines the whole record from that standpoint–the bare bones, the hint at a vocal melody, not relying on any backbeat–but stripping the songs back to the base elements and then piece-by-piece making an entirely new record. It takes the songs and elements around them and the phrases into a new place, mostly born out of hindsight and I guess a curiosity to fuck around with it all long enough until it sounded right to my ear. From all that an entirely new record was formed. It’s not a remix album, or b-sides… it’s just another way at looking/hearing things.” – James Lockey on Orchestral Variations

Matty Brown returned to action last night in a 0-0 draw at Solihull, we caught up with the Town captain for his thoughts.
0-0 draw here at Solihull what is your assessment of that?
It was a tough game, first minute of the game we’ve conceded two corners and had to two goal clearances straight away we were under the cosh. But that set us up and we knew what was coming for all the game and I think we stood up to that. They had aerial bombardment they had pace and power upfront we knew to expect that, and I think we handled it quite well. And kept their chances to a minimum and after recent results and recent performances that showed a lot of character in the dressing room. Obviously, people are quick to criticise us at the minute, but we’ve always said we’ve got it in there just about getting it out onto the pitch and I think tonight the lads have got to be given credit because we’ve dug deep and it’s a tough place to come and at least we deserved a draw. We had chances in the game yeah granted they had chances too, but on overall play begrudges the draw.
Conceded a penalty in the first half, what were your feelings on that?
It was one of them you know where I’ve won the header first and its dropped and they’ve flicked it round the back and the runner has got onto it and Wrighty has cut back and is about to shoot I’ve got to make the tackle regardless, I’ve got the ball but I’ve followed through and I knew he was going to give the penalty. But it was one of them make the tackle or give them a free shot on goal, and thankfully it gone over. I think that’s the second one penalty in two seasons at this ground and they’ve missed both. After the bad luck I’ve had recently I’ll take the good luck, when things like that happen you’ve got to ride your luck and sometimes it’s your night penalties go over the bar gives us a lift we dug in and I thought we were solid. Out of possession we were solid, compact and limited them to chances. We created chances which has been few and far between last few weeks so definitely platform for us to build on and be like our normal selves.
You’ve returned after a few weeks out, how does it feel to back out there?
Brilliant, I try and do my best for the lads when I was out within the dressing room, but everyone knows it’s not the same as being out on the pitch I’ve being dying to get back out there. Been a little bit precautionary with them holding me back but nice it was good to get back out there and dust of the cobwebs. I’ll be the first one to say performance was a little bit rusty tonight, obviously brought a presence and things but personally it’s great to be back out there with the lads and we’ve got a good squad in there to push on the table and get a few points and hopefully got to Havant on Saturday and get something. I know they’ve had a good result tonight, but we’ve got to be confident now and get three points.
Like you said its Havant & Waterlooville this Saturday who’ve just won 7-0. What sort of preparations will you be doing before that game?
Same as we do for every team we prepare properly. Monday to Friday the managers attention to detail is spot on and we know strengths and weaknesses of every team we play against regardless of who we play. We’ll be fully aware of what’s coming up Saturday, what challenges, what threats and areas where we can hurt them. We recover from this game focus on Saturday and I’m sure we’ll go there with a good game plan.

Hua Hin (หัวหิน) is one of eight districts (Amphoe) of Prachuap Khiri Khan province in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula in Thailand. The province is located on the Isthmus of Khra, the narrow landbridge connecting the Malay Peninsula with mainland Asia.
Hua Hin’s seat of government, also named Hua Hin, is a beach resort town, in fact Thailand’s first. The district has a population of just over 85,000 in an area of 911 km². By road, it is 199 km southwest of Bangkok.
Not being an idyllic island retreat has quite possibly assisted Hua Hin, as there is very little of the sleazy sex trade of the more famous island resorts of Phuket and Samui. Consequently, Hua Hin really has a cosmopolitan feel, displaying a wonderful mix of city and sea, with long, sandy beaches and well planned infrastructure. There are, bustling markets; Chat Chai in the mornings, selling both fresh produce and street food, as well as Chat Sila; the night market, which has food, along with clothing and the usual tourist items for purchase.
As a result of its location, Hua Hin’s food encompasses all four of Thailand’s food regions, making it a foodies' dream come true. This therefore means you will find a plethora of street food and small restaurants blossoming, as well as high and low end Western fare. Most of all, it is seafood which dominates, as it is plentiful and affordable, with many seafood restaurants located right on the edge of the water, or on the pier.
Hua Hin traces its aristocratic roots to the 1920s, when Rama VI (King Vajiravudh) and Rama VII (King Prajadhipok) both built summer residences here to escape Bangkok’s stifling climate. The more famous of the two palaces is Phra Ratchawang Klai Kangwon (Far from Worries Palace). Located 3km north of town, it is still an official Royal residence today.
Rama VII’s endorsement of Hua Hin and the construction of the southern railway made the town the place to be for Thai nobility who built their own summer residences beside the sea.
The 1980s saw the advent of luxury hotels starting to move in and foreign tourists began flocking to Hua Hin in numbers. All the major international hotel chains now have properties in Hua Hin. You will also find and a growing number of wealthy expats retiring here to the condominiums that dot the town. The burgeoning middle class of Bangkok likes to invade on weekends, making the town bustling and vibrant.
With seriously cheap public transport in the form of songthaews (see Getting Around), taxis, motorcycle taxis, tuk tuks, buses and minivans to cart people around, moving around and from beach to beach has become hassle-free. In comparison to getting to the southern islands, travel to Hua Hin takes both less effort and vastly less money.

This paper presents a floristic and vegetation study of the territories of the Idna-Hebron of Palestine, corresponding to one area with three different names as Abu Salman Forest Reserve, Khallet Osman mountains, and Hamra Aslimi. These sites are very important at a local level of the flora with a high endemic rate. The floristic analysis revealed the existence of 48 species, of which 10 (20.83%) are endemic endemic. Seventeen plots of vegetation distributed in one area dominated and have been analyzed in this study. Methodology, the phytosociological approach is based on the Braun-Blanquet method. The results revealed three different kinds of forests, one dominated by the endemic Pino halepensis-Quercetum lookii, which is peculiar to the inframediterranean dry-thermomediterranean environments, with the terra rossa and brown rendzinas territory. The second type of forest is dominated by the Pistacio palaestinae-Ceratonietum silique, which is growing in the dry-subhumid ombrotype and the terra rossa and brown rendzinas territory. The third group of the forest of Khallet Osman and Hamra Aslimi dominated by Quercus lookii-Tamaricetum palestineae. Finally, in this study there are three associations and tow alliances are proposed as new Syntaxa based on statistical and phytosociological analyses in the study area.
Palestine, Phytosociology, Idna , Abu Salman Forest Reserve, Vegetation, Biodiversity, Flora
Palestine has a wide range of agro-ecological concerns, particular geographic location, with a series of environmental, a unique biodiversity and a large variety of plants [1] [2] [3] , it has a Mediterranean climate, characterized by mild rainy winters and hot dry summers, with a tropical-subtropical tendency in the far south, and rainfall decreases from north to south, while the temperature increases [2] . Climate and bioclimate were played an important role in influence on plant communities, plant production, and biological resources [1] - [20] .
In Palestine, about 2780 plant taxa were recorded as native, which of 159 [19] , 162 taxa were recorded as endemics [20] [21] . Moreover, it is found that about 2750 species of plants including 138 families were estimated for Palestinian flora [22] , [23] , while in the other study the flora of Palestine includes 149 endemic species [24] , (6% of the total flora), which of 43% are found to be common, 27.5% are rare and 25.6% are very rare. The recent study there recorded more than 1881 species of plant, which of 53 are endemic rare species in the fourth areas of Palestine as Hebron, Ramallah, Jericho and Jenin [19] , and we described eight new plant associations, of which two have a dry-sub-humid ombrotype (Pistacio palaestinae-Quercetum lokii; Cerasus microcarpae-Quercetum ithaburensis) in the area of Idna, Hebron of Palestine [3] .
The aim of this paper is to provide a botanical study of the flora and vegetation growing in the Idna-Hebron of Palestine.
In our study and survey consists of up to 17 vegetation grids distributed over one area with three different names as (Abu Salman Forest Reserve, Khallet Osman and Aslimi) (Figure 1). The sampling area ranged from 400 to 430 dunums, according to the vegetation unit concerned, forest and very little scrubland (trees only). Nevertheless, for each one, we provide the records of altitude, slope, area, cover rate, orientation and number of species. In our phytosociological

approach is fundamentally based on the Braun-Blanquet (1979) [25] method, we have taken into account the advances in the method pointed out by Pott (2011) [26] and Biondi (2011) [27] .
However, we made a comprehensive floristic study of these 17 grids, singled out the respective endemic species and identified the floristic differences in the territories involved. The phytosociological indexes are converted to the Van der Maarel (1979) [28] scale for a proper statistical analysis, these data were used to create an Excel table with 48 rows (plants) and 17 columns (grids). Moreover, from this table we generated a Euclidean Distance Matrix to measure the distance, with the relevant data on community plant physiognomy, average height of dominant species and abundance dominance index, we created a table with the dominant species of each of the 17 grids. We took values over 6 m as the average forest height, dominant species with average height values ranging from 3.5 to 7 m could be described to forest as well as to scrubland environments as Cerasus microcarpa Boiss , Rhamnus palaestinus Boiss. The bioclimatic analysis was carried out based on climatic data provided by Palestine Meteorological Department and according to the Rivas-Martinez bioclimatic system (Rivas- Martınez et al. 2011) [29] , which main aim was to study the relationship between the climate and the living species and their communities on the land in the world.
Idna (Idhna) is Palestinian village located to the north-west of the city of Hebron (13 kilometers west of Hebron) and in the southern West Bank, one of the territories occupied in 1967 and is located on the Green Line, an area now estimated at 17,000 hectares after it was 37,000 hectares in 1948, elevated about 450 - 500 m above sea level, between longitudes 34˚06' east and latitudes 31˚33' north. In the fact, we took one area is located at the east-south of Idna village that’s have three different names as Abu Salman Forest Reserve (elevation 450 - 545 m), Khallet Osman (elevation 440 - 540 m) and Hamra Aslimi (elevation 420 - 445 m) (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
In our study, the clustering analysis (Euclidean distance) applied to our data matrix of 48 rows (plants) and 17 columns yielded three clearly separated groups at the level of the truncation of (0.93). Group I (P1, P2, P5, P9, P11, P12, P14 and P16), Group II (P3, P4, P7, P8, P13 and P15) show the relives collected in Abu Salman Forest Reserve. Group III (P6, P10 and P17) gathers the relives corresponding to the forests of the Khallet Osman and Hamra Aslimi mountains (Figure 3). Both groups include plots located in the east-south of the Idna village and near of Suba.
However, when we applied of a principal component analysis (PCA) and covariance matrix obtained positive results, thereby confirming the existence of the

three groups produced by the clustering analysis (Group I, Group II and Group III) (Figure 4).
Furthermore, the phytosociological analysis of the groups obtained with the previous multivariate analysis has allowed us to point out that the relives of Abu Salman Forest Reserve plots (P1, P2, P5, P9, P11, P12, P14, P16, P3, P4, P7, P8, P13 and P15) belong to the forest dominated by Pinus halepinsis Mill. recently described by Ighbareyeh J. M. H. et al. (2014) [19] , this is a pine-tree forest characterized at the Idna village flora elements such as: Quercus libani G. Olivier, Quercus caliprinos Webb., Ceratonia siliqua L., Alain together with the endemic species Quercus look Kotschy, Tamarix palaestina Bertol and Tamarix jordanis L. this forest develops in the infra-thermomediterranean dry bioclimatic belt and it is growing in Mediterranean maquis and forest [2] [3] , with the terra rose and brown rendzinas territory, we proposed pine-tree forest (Abu Salman Forest Reserve), group I or association ASL 1: 1 - 16 Pino halepinsis-Quercetum lookii (Table 1).
Groups II include species collected in Abu Salman Forest Reserve, a relives 3 to 15 represents the infra-thermotropical forest, and dry-subhumid ombrotype (Annual ombrothermic index = 1.5 - 2.8 [2] [3] , which is 3.5 - 6 m high, with a 45% - 90% cover rate. This forest is characterized by the endemic trees Pyrus syriaca Boiss. Alain Pistacia palaestina Boiss., and growing in Mediterranean maquis and forest, therefore we proposed the association ASL 2 or Group II: 3 - 15 Pistacio paletinae-Ceratonietum siliquae (Table 2).
Figure 4. Cluster analysis for dry forest communities in the east south Idna-Hebron of Palestine.
Table 1. Pino halepinsis-Quercetum lookii.
Table 2. Pistacio palestinae-Ceratonietum siliquae.
Moreover, relives 6 to 17 including the Group III correspond to the forest of Pinus halepinus Mill.-Tamaricetum Palestineae. It is a tangled, plant forest 3.5 - 6 m high, with a 40% - 80% cover rate. This plants are characterized by Rubus idaeus L., Pinus halepensis Mill., Rhamnus punctata Boiss, Rhamnus lycioides Brot. & Rhamnus Palestaestina Boiss. and the local endemic plant Rhamnus Palestaestina Boiss. Echinops philistaeus Feinbrun & Zohary and Alain, we proposed Group III or association ASL3: 6 - 17 Quercus libanii-Tamaricetum Palestineae (Table 3).
In the other side, we include the forests growing in dry, sub-humid environments, it is probably necessary to create a new alliance to include all forests, and differences between the different associations proposed can be seen in the synthetic Table 4.
Finally, it is possible to say that Abu Salman Forest Reserve will be reduced to some plants or will be removed in the future due to the acceleration of construction (building houses and human activities), it is lies within the area classified B, this means that people can build houses and do their various activities, because it is located under Palestinian control, while the area C and D are located under Israeli control, don’t it permits to construct of building houses and any activities.
Climate change [2] [3] , the growth of the population, the increase in the population density, and the occupation of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967, including Abu Salman Forest Reserve and other Palestinian areas, will give us a serious indication of the loss of many endemic, semi-endemic and native plants in Palestine, thus eliminating a large part of the vegetation, flora and biodiversity in the future of Palestine.
Our study reveal that the 17 grids analyzed are clearly divided into three different groups, all of these groups represent the potential natural vegetation and with a very little substitution scrublands. The floristic analysis revealed that 20.83 % of these species are endemic especial in Abu Salman Forest Reserve. However, we indicated that the forests of Hebron as Idna village belong to different forests groups: Pine-tree forest as Pinus halepinus Mill., Arbutus andrachne L. and Cupressus arizonica L., Mediterranean maquis and forest as Quercus look Kotschy, Pistacia palestina L., Carob-lentisk maquis as Ceratonia siliqua L. and Pistacia lentiscus L., Everegreen oak maquis as Quercus caliprinos Webb, Rhamnus Palestaestina Boiss. and Rhamnus punctata Boiss., Deciduous oak forests as Pistacia palestina Boiss. and Pistacia saportae Burnat., and Reprian forests as Tamarix palaestina Bertoland Tamarix Jordani.
Associations described as new:
Pino halepinsis-Quercetum lookii*.
Pistacio paletinae-Ceratonietum siliquae*.
Quercus libanii-Tamaricetum palestineae*.

EXCLUSIVE STORY: Anti-asset sale Flash Occupation at Clemenger BBDO offices!
28 August 2012 Frank Macskasy 23 comments
Background: The Company
“Clemenger Group Limited is the holding company of a group of companies involved in advertising and marketing communications services throughout Australia and New Zealand. It is the largest communications group in Australia and New Zealand. Clemenger Group Limited has about 1500 employees and is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. 26% of the shares are held by Clemenger Communications staff and 74% by BBDO Worldwide. BBDO Worldwide is in turn part of the Omnicom Group, which the largest communications group in the world.”
Source: Wikipedia Clemenger Group
Source: Clemenger Group/About CGL
Background: Asset Sales
Last year, National opened a tender for companies which might be interested in a multi-million dollar contract to handle an advertising/publicity campaign for up-coming asset sales,
” Advertising agencies are working through the Christmas holiday period to meet a Treasury request for proposals to provide the advertising and communications campaigns that will accompany the Government’s partial privatisation agenda over the next three years.
While no budget is given for the contract, it is likely to be one of the largest new pieces of Government-funded advertising work agencies have seen for some time, but they have been given just 28 days to respond over the traditional shutdown period of Christmas and New Year. “
See: TVNZ News: Ad agencies scramble for asset sales contract
On at least two fronts, the tender process was seen as dubious by various groups.
Firstly,
” A formal Request for Proposals was issued on Decermber 15, with a deadline of January 9 for responses, leading industry veterans to suggest the Treasury has already made a choice of agency, but needs to follow Government rules requiring a tender process.
Advertising consultant and agency developer Mike Hutcheson says it is likely the Treasury already knows who they will give the job to, and this kind of fast-tracking is typical of such Government contracts.
“It’s a bit of a charade that Government departments and local authorities always go through because their choice is quite limited. There will be relatively few who can actually handle it,” said Hutcheson.
“Government departments have to go through a process and in fact it’s meant to be quite a transparent process, but usually it’s pre-determined.
“There will be someone in Government who would favour someone for sure. They’ll want someone to win, and whoever it is generally knows in advance”. “
See: Ibid
Secondly, the Green Party pointed out that seeking tenders for contracts over the December/Christmas and Easter period contravened Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) Guidelines for best-practice. The Guidelines states,
”Unless it is unavoidable, government entities should be sensitive to the needs of busy people and not initiate tendering processes in the three weeks before Christmas, the week after Christmas and around Easter.”
See: Asset sale contract ‘broke rules’
So, not only was the timing of the tender process seen as disturbingly hasty by some – but it was held over a period which the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet guidelines itself stated quite clearly, should be avoided.
A spokeswoman for Treasury, Chris Major, said whilst Treasury was ‘mindful’ of DPMC’s guidelines, that,
”Those guidelines note that RFPs should be avoided at Christmas if possible; in the case of the Mixed Ownership Model programme it was deemed necessary and unavoidable to proceed with procuring advertising and communications services in December/January.”
It’s hard to understand why Treasury wanted “to proceed with procuring advertising and communications services in December/January” – no advertising or publicity has taken place either last year or this year. Only a website has been put up, and there is no apparent reason for urgency in that regard.
Someone, it appears, was in a hurry to award this particular contract.
The tender process closed on 9 January 2011, and the lucrative contract was awarded to Australian-based company, Clemenger BBDO, thereafter,
“State-Owned Enterprises Minister Tony Ryall said Treasury made decisions about contracts.”
In which case, why have a Minister of the Crown? Why not have Treasury run the country (gods forbid)?
Is this the sort of “personal responsibility” that National continually demands from the public – but not from themselves? The “Buck Does Not Stop Here”, obviously.
Clemenger BBDO will be paid a multi-million dollar sum for the contract, but National has refused to disclose the figure, citing “commercial sensitivity”,
“Finance Minister Bill English yesterday told Parliament the cost of the contracts were commercially sensitive but the Government would release figures ”in due course”.”
In effect, politicians are handing over unknown millions of dollars of our money, to corporates, to sell our own state assets, to corporates.
Al Capone was in the wrong job.
Tuesday, 28 August: Aotearoa is Not For Sale organised another ‘Flash Occupation’ – this time targetting Clemenger BBDO in Kent Tce, Wellington.
At around 2pm, the small group of a dozen activists – some in corporate attire – met at Te Aro (Pigeon) Park, in Manners St. The group discussed tactics; reaffirmed a committment to non-violence; and practiced singing several anti-sale songs. The songs were popular titles such as “Down by the Riverside“, which had been adapted for the current situation, and re-titled, “We’re gonna stop the asset sales“,
Placards and banners were prepared, including this new one, “No Asset Sales – No Higher Prices – No Corporate Welfare“,
All in readiness, the group set off to Kent Tce, a ten minute walk from the Park,
The group was in good spirits, and continued practicing singing the songs we would soon be sharing at the offices of Clemengers,
Target dead ahead; the corporate offices of Australian-based, Clemengers BBDO. Interesting to note that being an overseas-owned company, any fees paid to this company will be remitted offshore, to foreign shareholders.
The sale of our state assets was already resulting in the outflow of profits to overseas investors,
A brief demonstration took place outside the company’s doors. Considering the honking of car horns, it was evident that the public supported our presence, and more importantly, the message we were conveying,
The group then headed into the building,
The target of our ‘Flash Occupation’, emblazoned on the wall of the ground floor foyer,
And into the Reception Area, where a startled receptionist was the first to see the messages we had brought to Clemengers,
The Flash Occupation broke into song, as we moved through the offices,
At all times, the event was recorded. Not just to spread the event through on-line video, but to protect against mischievous allegations of violence or damage,
As the protestr moved through the offices, leaflets were distributed outlining why we were there and explaining why Clemenger’s participation in asset sales was unacceptable,
We sang our protest songs with gusto, and this blogger noticed more than a few office workers smiling to themselves. (Ok, we won’t be appearing any time soon on the next “New Zealand’s Top Idol“…)
But we gave the Clemenger’s staff seated behind the activists entertainment, and a clear message: Aotearoa is not for sale!
At this point, Clemenger’s Wellington Managing Director, Andrew Holt (center, white shirt), appeared and advised us that the police had been called and that we should leave.
We stood firm. We had more songs to sing, and a final message to read out,
The singing continued. We would not move on until our message had been delivered, in full, and understood by everyone at Clemengers,
Andrew Holt (standing behind banner) stood with some of his staff (unseen, behind banner), as the singing came to an end,
Shane read out a message, as Andrew Holt looked on, and listened,
“The power companies Mighty River Power, Genesis Energy, and Meridian Energy belong to those who built them from scratch, benefitted from them in the past and benefit from them today;
all New Zealanders.
The proposed sale of these State Owned Assets means the transfer from public into private ownership of these essential national services. We know that this will result in higher power prices for thepublic and loss of control of our electricity-generating capacity.
We think your role in this process is outrageous and we, as members of the public, object to paying fees to you to help sell what we already own.
No sale of state assets!”
In the background, another Clemengers staffer can be seen on the phone – talking with police?
Having delivered the message, the ANFS activists departed from the building peacefully, and with no damage or mess left behind.
Another Flash Occupation peacefully and successfully completed, the group separated and departed.
Clemengers was now the second corporation, connected to asset sales, that had been visted by a Flash Occupation.

Parata, Bennett, and Collins – what have they been up to?
18 January 2013 Frank Macskasy 18 comments
Muppet #1 – Hekia Parata
“I actually think she’s a very effective communicator; in fact if you look at her history in politics, she’s been one of the smoothest communicators we’ve actually had.” – John Key, 18 January 2013
See: Parata safe in her job – Key
Prime Minister John Key says Education Minister Hekia Parata will be safe in an upcoming Cabinet reshuffle, … because she is hugely talented and one of National’s best communicators.
See: Parata’s job safe in shuffle
*snort!*
I’d be a happy chappy if the Nats DID have more like her in Cabinet!!
If she’s one of the Nat’s “best communicators”, I’d luv to know why she’s kept ducking calls for media interviews and instead sent Lesley Longstone to cover for Parata’s f**k-ups,
When Lesley Longstone’s resignation was announced last year on 19 December, Hekia Parata was still nowhere to be seen. The announcement was handled by State Services Commissioner Iain Rennie (see: Education secretary quits),
Parata’s office explained why she couldn’t front,
Parata is currently on holiday and has refused to front on Longstone’s resignation, but in a statement released this afternoon she thanked Longstone for her efforts in leading the Ministry.
See: Education Ministry boss quits after ‘strained relationship’
Hmmmm, judging by Parata not fronting for most of last year, was she on holiday for most of 2012?!
“Smooth communicator…”!?
Ye gods, this deserves a Tui billboard.
Roll on 2013 – it’s going to be a great year.
Muppet #2 – Paula Bennett
Social Welfare Minister, Paula Bennett, has a relationship with hypocrisy, bene-bashing, and mendacity that can only be described as “intimate”.
Since 2011, she has derided and denigrated the unemployed; solo-parents; widows, invalids, the sick, and young people, and blamed them for being in a position requiring welfare assistance.
Never mind the fact that the Global Financial Crisis of 2007/08 has seen unemployment skyrocket from 3.4% in 2007 to the current 7.3%.
Or that welfare recipients as a whole were at their lowest in 2008.
National’s entire strategy for getting people off welfare has not been about job creation – that has beemn left to the “Market” to sort out – but about punitive sanctions targetting those receiving welfare.
See previous blogpost for full list of sanctions targetting welfare recipients: Johnny’s Report Card – National Standards Assessment – the social welfare safety net
Even Dear Leader had a go at welfare recipients in February 2011,
“But it is also true that anyone on a benefit actually has a lifestyle choice. If one budgets properly, one can pay one’s bills.
And that is true because the bulk of New Zealanders on a benefit do actually pay for food, their rent and other things. Now some make poor choices and they don’t have money left.” – John Key, 17 February, 2011
See: Food parcel families made poor choices, says Key
Key had even more daft things to say about welfare recipients here; National to push 46,000 off welfare . But not a single word about generating jobs for the unemployed. Not. One. Word.
Now that 5,000 sole-parents have mysteriously “dropped off” from DPB welfare, I have a question for Ms Bennet and Dear Leader;
Will those sole parents be acknowledged for finding work (a questionable assumption in itself) in a tough marketplace where unemployment stands at 7.3% (175,000 people) and where, it was announced today, growth in the jobs market has slowed? (See: Unemployment rate set to hold as job ads flatten out – ANZ, Job growth slows, says Trade Me)
Will Bennett acknowledge that people are on welfare – not because it is an opulent lifestyle – but because of sheer necessity?
Will the Minister – who successfully exploited the welfare system for her own benefit; bought a house using WINZ funding; and gave up paid employment because it was “too tough” to study, work, and care for her daughter simultaneously – acknowledge that it was not National’s punitive bene-bashing policies that found work for 5,000 sole-parents, but the parents themselves?
Or will she grab the kudos for herself?
More than half of that drop happened in the last three months of the year, after the introduction of Ms Bennett’s policy required sole parents to get part-time work when their youngest child turned five and fulltime work for those whose children were older than 14.
Ms Bennett said 3221 sole parents had returned to work since that came into force in October.
See: Bennett trumpets 5000 fewer on DPB
Yup. She’s taken the credit for herself.
The numbers quoted in the Heral story are at variance with those from the Ministry of Social Developement.
From the NZ Herald,
From the MSD,
Even the Herald’s own trance of figures is not consistent. The DPB figures are compared between 2011 and 2012. The remaining two trances – All Types of Benefits and Unemployment – are compared between 2010 and 2012.
Dodgy.
Muppet #3 – Judith Collins
Remember “Crusher” Collins? Remember New Zealand’s own Iron Lady who brooks no sh*t from criminals, boy racers, or stroppy Labour MPs?
Remember how Collins was going to deal to crims who had been awarded compensation for breaches of their rights,
Source & More
The Nats love to thrash the Law & Order issues. It appeals to low information voters, rednecks, and right wing simpletons and is great for the Tories to score a few thousand extra votes at election time.
In reality it achieves zip to actually reform and rehabilitate prisoners, and address core problems in their offending; alcolhol/drug abuse; illiteracy; unresolved psychiatric problems; and off course the number one factor; no prospects for employment.
Which is why it’s a bit of a surprise when a National minister appears to See The Light, and backtracks on one of their core, Get-Tough-On-Crims policies,
It’s nice to see a National minister shy away from mindless knee-jerk law-making that appeals to the Talback Radio mindset – but achieves very little except nudge New Zealand closer to being an autocratic state.
Until the next election, of course,

National and the Cult of Buck-Passing
22 December 2012 Frank Macskasy 12 comments
Successive National governments have had a problem.
New Zealanders, like all other human beings, don’t like paying taxes. National, like all other right wing political parties, are only too happy to oblige and try to cut taxes at every opportunity. They did this in 2009 and a year later in 2010. (Though recently they have been sneakily raising indirect taxes wherever possible. See: Parents face burden of preschool squeeze, Tax hikes disguised as reinvestment’, Petrol, road charges hikes are ‘bad news‘)
But at the same time, New Zealanders love their tax-payer funded social services. Whether it be free hospitals; highly-subsidised medicines, nearly-free education; free roading, etc. Quite simply, we like the “goodies” that are expected of a developed, First World nation.
What we don’t like are governments that attempt to tinker with, and cut-back, on our state-provided social services.
Which is where Miniaster of Education, Hekia Parata, has gone disastrously wrong.
Her first “crime” was the announced – discovered, more like – policy just after the Budget was released on 24 May. It did not take long before a cunning plan for teacher cuts and larger class sizes, buried deep within the Budget, was uncovered,
The uproar from parents, teachers, principals, school boards, and others throughout the community was such that the policy was literally ‘gone by lunchtime, two weeks later,
Parents and sector workers were no fools. They knew precisely what this cash-strapped “government” was trying to do. National had already reached into the pockets of paper-delivery children, to extract taxes from them. (See: Budget 2012: ‘Paper boy tax’ on small earnings stuns Labour)
National had previously blown billions in it’s 2009/2010 tax cuts (see: Government’s 2010 tax cuts costing $2 billion and counting) and they were now gearing up to recoup those losses by cutting back on State services.
This was pure, unadulterated, and re-cycled National Party policy from the 1990s. Who remembers National’s attempt in 1991, to implement a User-Pays charge of $50 per day in hospitals, up to a maximum of ten days? (See: Teara – Funding public hospitals) The policy was hugely unpopular and failed because New Zealanders simply refused to pay it.
The classroom-teacher debacle was the first of several major crises (I refuse to call them “issues”) to confront Hekia Parata and her Ministry.
Others included,
the ongoing Novopay fiasco
the enforced amalgamation/closures of 30+ Christchurch schools, using data that was discovered to be hopelessly wrong,
the attempt to force closure of Salisbury School, which would have placed special-needs female students in a male school, and making them potential victims of sexual abuse (See: Parata did not heed warning over closure),
Ministry of Education suggestions that misleading information be given in respect to Official Information Act requests about Christchurch school closures. (See: Education ministry criticism ‘serious‘)
It seems fairly clear that Parata has wilfully ignored the advice of her own officials and failed to consult with parents, teachers, and others in local communities. The result has been a growing dillusionment and enmity between Parata and her constituents.
The problems became so great; coming one after another in over-lapping succession; and seemingly increasing in intensity, that Parata eventually ceased to front up to the media.
Instead, it was left to bureacrat, Education Secretary Lesley Longstone, to answer for the Education Minister,
Education Minister Hekia Parata declined an interview with Campbell Live last night. Instead, the ministry’s chief executive Lesley Longstone fronted, and admitted mistakes had been made – though defended the ministry’s processes.
Hekia Parata could no longer answer to the public without appearing to be hopelessly ineffective in her own portfolio.
As a Minister, she seemed utterly out of her depth and this blogger strongly suspects that she has been given instructions from on high (Steven Joyce?) to steer clear of the media.
The untreated human effluent finally hit the fan when Ms Longstone became the “patsy”, falling on Parata’s sword as a political sacrificial ewe. Only about thirteen months into a five year contract, Ms Longstone is leaving New Zealand with her tail firmly between her legs. (See: Education Secretary Lesley Longstone resigns )
One doubts she will be in a hurry to return, even to savour the delights of the touristy-destination of “Middle Earth New Zealand”.
During this crisis, Parata was again nowhere to be seen. The resignation and resultant media conference was handled by State Services Commissioner, Iain Rennie (along with a blond “Minder”, wearing copious quantities of red lippy, standing anxiously in the background),
So to re-cap,
Parata has stuffed up at least half a dozen critical problems impacting on her ministerial portfolio,
She has succeeded in alienating almost all her constituents,
When she could no longer function effectively as a Minister, nor field media queries, she dumped the whole stinking mess into Longstone’s lap,
The entangled mess of problems were such that Ms Longstone was unable to cope. Her overseas background and lack of knowledge of New Zealand society and politics was probably one of her greatest handicaps,
Longstone finally had a gutsful and bailed. (And who on Earth could possibly blame her?!)
And Parata was still nowhere to be seen – instead dumping the mess into yet another lap; Iain Rennie.
Talk about dodging responsibility and passing the buck!
So what was our Esteemed Dear Leader doing during this crisis?
Apparently, he was busy,

Buck-passing – best done as a group National thing.
Considering that Ms Longstone’s resignation was known in advance – with State Services Commissioner Iain Rennie confirming Longstone resignation was made two to three weeks ago – it defies belief that Key was goofing around on radio stations that morning.
It occurs to this blogger that John Key no longer wants the highest job in the land. We saw a hint of this earlier in the year, in May, when he told children at Holy Family School in Porirua East,
“Frankly, the way it’s going at the moment you can have the job“.
See: John Key’s midterm blues?
I’m sure there are many people in this country who would love to see someone else take Key’s job.
As for Hekia Parata, this blogger is ambivalent about her resigning her portfolio.
A new Minister would simply take up the reins and pursue current National Party policies. Perhaps with a new vigour. That would be of no help to this country whatsoever.
Parata’s presence as Minister of Education has an ongoing “benefit” of focusing on the ideological nuttiness of National’s education “reforms”.
National’s education portfolio is a mess because National’s policies are, in themselves, a mess.
Why take away a constant reminder of National’s failings, by sacking one of it’s most inept Ministers?
Why put a fresh, new, clean face on a cesspit of problematic policies?
Why let the Nats off the hook?
Let Parata stay. It will give voters something to think about in 2014 (if not earlier).
National seems to have a dodgy track-record when it comes to losing highly skilled, talented, managerial staff,
And of course we had the recent extraordinary spectacle of Canadian ex-Supreme Court Judge, Ian Binnie, being publicly derided and humiliated by Justice Minister Judith Collins – despite Justice Binnie being invited by National to oversee an indepent review of the Bain case (See: Bain could have an enemy in the Beehive).
At this rate, the most highly skilled and experienced professionals and civil servants will think twice before coming to New Zealand to take up government contracts. Like some evil Master Mind in a James Bond story,
“National does not tolerate failure, Ms Longstone. Would you like a Speights or water with your Professional Cyanide Pill?”

Parata preparing for another backdown? (Part Rua)
3 October 2012 Frank Macskasy 15 comments
After Education Minister, Hekia Patata’s dreadful performance on TVNZ’s ‘Q+A‘ on 30 September, it appears that her ‘minders’ have realised that she is not ‘selling’ the issues of National Standards and Christchurch School closures, to the public.
In fact, her slip to Shane Taurima that National Standards data was unreliable must have raised the eyebrows of every viewer in the country,
“ SHANE What’s the point of the information, though, if the Prime Minister, for example, he calls it ropey; the head of your own ministry, she has described it as unreliable.
HEKIA Well, what I have said all along is that it is variable. For the purposes of comparing schools, it is not reliable…”
As was her admission that school closures in Christchurch would add to the trauma already suffered by Cantabrians after two major earthquakes and 185 deaths,
“ Well, look. School closures around the country under any administration around the country are always difficult. Here in Christchurch is a community that’s been under intolerable stress for a very long time. ”
Parata didn’t just shoot herself in the foot in that interview – she kneecapped herself.
The consequence was that Parata appears no longer willing to be interviewed by the media.
She refused to accept John Campbell’s invitation to appear on his show on TV3 on 2 October – instead sending a bureacrat to front up, Ministry of Education chief executive, Lesley Longstone.
Longstone put on a brave face attempting to explain why so much of the Ministry’s information was completely wacko – as if they referred to schools in some other country (or maybe Planet Key) – but failed miserably,
Little wonder that Parata refused to front. She would have been skewered and hung out to dry.
Again, this morning (3 October), Hekia Parata was invited to be interviewed on Radio NZ’s ‘Morning Report‘. Again, she refused point blank.
See: Radio NZ – Warning from Australia on National Standards
Ok, it’s possible that she had another engagement that prevented her from appearing on ‘Campbell Live‘ last night. But what was so pressing that she could not be on the phone to Radio NZ’s Geoff Robinson at 8.09am?
The answer is; nothing.
National’s policies on school closures and National Standards is an absolute mess. Parata is up to her neck in policies that are hard to defend; based on shonky data; and offer no real benefit to the education of our children.
Let’s be quite clear here; if National’s so-called “reforms” were such a great idea, Parata should be willing and eager to front at every opportunity to defend her policies and explain why they will help our children; communities; and country as whole.
Her new-found ‘shyness’ is indicative of only one thing; her policies are indefensible and deeply resented by New Zealanders. Furthermore, judging by the response she has received from parents and teaching professionals, she has lost the trust of those people who rely on her judgement.
Hekia Parata is the Minister of Education. Her education policies are her responsibilty.
If she is unable or unwilling to front up to the public, then she has no business earning her $257,800 ministerial salary (plus perks, plus gold-plated superannuation) .
When it comes to education, where does the buck stop?

Majete 3 Muonda Epicenter - Food Security Aid Map · NGO Aid Map
Majete 3 Muonda Epicenter
Throughout Africa, The Hunger Project’s Epicenter Strategy mobilizes the population of a cluster of villages within a 10km radius to create an “epicenter,” or a center from which community-led development emanates to the surrounding areas. Through this fully integrated development strategy, community members establish and manage their own programs to address food security, nutrition, health, education, microfinance, water and sanitation. Epicenters follow four distinct phases over a period of about five to eight years on a path toward to sustainable self-reliance. Majete 3 Muonda Epicenter is currently in Phase 3, during which the epicenter community shores up the progress that it has made since its inception, while beginning to plan for a transition to self-reliance. Trainings are led by community-based animators, and epicenter committees manage each program, including budget oversight and leadership transitions. The epicenter strengthens its partnerships, including solidifying and creating an even more powerful partnership with local government. Majete 3 epicenter serves 21 villages with a total population of 13766 women, men and children.

HMIS Software – Homeless Management Information System
Posted on August 2, 2012 December 20, 2019 by Ronan Martin
What Is HMIS Software?
A Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a coordinated system of computers that enable service, shelter and housing providers in different locations across a continuum (community, county or state) to collect and share information about the homeless individuals and families seeking services within their continuum.
This system of computers allows users to collect and store information that can be used to enhance service delivery for their consumers as well as generate required reports for different funding sources, including the Annual Progress Report (APR) for HUD.
Continuum of Care leaders across the country use case management and administration software to enable them to meet this congressional mandate. Our HMIS software is the ideal solution for these homeless services providers in the US.
Our HMIS Software
The scope of our HMIS software is deep and wide, with the ability to track and manage data related to the elements of any homeless services and supportive housing program. We offer the only Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) in its class that is also certified for Meaningful Use. Features of our homeless management software include:
System Performance Measures, AHAR, APR, ESG CAPER, Point In Time (PIT) reports with a click of a mouse
Support for Federal partner agency reports including PATH ARS
Custom built reports through ReportBuilder
CSV exports and imports
Tools for Coordinated Entry Systems, including waiting lists, central intake, and service referral tracking
Occupancy, vacancy, utilization reports, and bed/unit registry
Unduplicated client demographics
VI-SPDAT and other custom assessments
Ability to manage data about services provided and tracking costs associated with those services
In-house accounts and client money management
Property maintenance, leases, rent, and utility tracking
Comprehensive service planning and provision for individuals and families
Fully customizable to meet changing HUD / agency / continuum needs

Provides up-to-the-minute shelter bed availability as well as transitional and permanent housing vacancy information
Generates HUD’s Annual Progress Report and is customizable to generate reports for other Federal, State and Local funders
Uses built-in and fully customizable forms that standardize the collection of data across your continuum
Provides administrative data to inform the community planning and needs assessment process
Allows secure e-mail messaging for staff throughout one site or at every site in your continuum through the built-in Messaging module
Manages client confidentiality and consent to release information agreements
Generates unique identifier to ensure an accurate unduplicated client count across your continuum
Allows for the transfer of existing client data from ODBC-compliant software
Uses web-based technology to save money and eliminate need for wide area network (WAN) technology and systems administration costs.
“I just wanted to drop you a quick note about our HUD APRs this year. I just finished our fifth one and it was virtually painless with AWARDS. In years past, with our old database, each report would have taken days. This year, I was able to print the APR from AWARDS, verify the data, gather the financials, transfer the information to the HUD 40118 and put the report in the mail to HUD in just a couple of hours for each report. What a life and time saver! Thank you to the whole Foothold Team for making our organization much more efficient!”

Homeless Management Information Systems: Strengthening Communities Through Data and Research
As more communities identify opportunities to generate Medicaid savings and improve individual outcomes among Medicaid beneficiaries who use homeless services, all eyes are turning to data. In recent conversations with a few Foothold Technology partners and customers, we’ve captured some thoughts about how agencies are accessing Medicaid dollars to support services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
Because of good record-keeping in AWARDS, our electronic record for human services agencies, Foothold Technology customers are also finding new opportunities to partner with other entities to inform planning, drive policy and strengthen communities. Siena College, based in Loudonville, NY, has been working with Foothold Technology customer CARES, on a research project related to Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data. We were pleased to learn that as a result of this partnership, a suite of additional HMIS tools developed by a professor and students at the college was recently published online. Allyson Thiessen, Director of HMIS Program and Services at CARES stated, “I wanted to pass [the news along] because the only reason we could do this partnership is due to the flexibility of AWARDS.”
We’re seeing similar partnerships and advancements in how data is supporting research in states like New Jersey. The New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA)/HMIS, a Foothold Technology client, has entered into an agreement with Rutgers University Center for State Health Policy (CSHP) and the NJ Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (DMAHS) to share encrypted data to look at the intersection of Medicaid use and homelessness. The study hopes to ultimately show the health and cost benefits of stable housing for those experiencing long-term homelessness. You can read more about this study in this blog post from Paul Rossi, our Director of Client Services.
The Foothold Technology team is proudly working behind the scenes to assist our customers and provide support to these types of studies, but it’s the partnerships our customers are forming and the teams of people coming together who are bringing this important data to light. We’re honored to have a seat at the table. Do you have an interesting story about how you are using data to partner with others? We’d love to hear from you.
New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency
Project Started: 2004
Consumers Served: Over 1,300 annually
Annual Operating Budget: $13 million
The Situation: A Change in Legislation
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) directed every Continuum of Care in the United States to collect an unduplicated count of the homeless persons served in their communities, and required each agency to implement a Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to track demographics and services used by homeless individuals and families. New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA) had to select software that could be eciently implemented into over 1,000 programs across the state.
The Solution: Expedited Implementation
After evaluating many software options, NJHMFA chose Foothold as its HMIS vendor because of our ability to quickly implement the software system in over 200 agencies. While other vendors said that such a huge project would take multiple years to install, we were able to implement the software in over 796 supportive housing programs within only a couple months.
Within this timeframe, we were even able to configure the software to meet the specific needs of New Jersey homeless programs. With such a quick implementation, we had additional time to train all 1,300 NJHMFA users and support them through the entire process.
The Result: Going Beyond HUD’s Directive
By managing such a complex implementation within a short amount of time, we provided a robust HMIS software that met and exceeded HUD’s requirements. While NJHMFA initially only needed a software to meet HUD’s directive, the agency quickly realized how AWARDS could improve all of their agency operations. AWARDS has drastically cut down on the time required to track and report on their homeless programs. Beyond helping with simple case management, AWARDS has become a true tool for NJHMFA to identify people facing homelessness and connect them to the best services.
Do I Need HMIS Software?
In the 2002 HUD Appropriations Act, Congress instituted a requirement that the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) collect data on the extent of homelessness in the United States and the effectiveness of the programs funded by HUD under the McKinney Act.
As a result, communities receiving McKinney Act funds must report to HUD by the end of each year the number of unduplicated homeless persons in their community. Additionally, HUD is requiring client-level data to aid in the analysis of the patterns of program usage.
How Is HMIS Software Set Up?
Generally, there are two ways to connect all of the computers that will use the software: through a Wide Area Network or through the Internet. A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a collection of computers that are connected through hardware and software over a large, or “wide” area. Internet software delivery is done through a Software as a Service (SaaS) model which allows users anywhere throughout the continuum to use their existing computers and Internet browsers to access the software with a secure username and password.
For the actual user, accessing software through an SaaS is nearly identical to accessing software through a WAN. Administratively, creating and managing a WAN is much more difficult and expensive than utilizing an SaaS. Foothold Technology saves you the expense of purchasing, operating and maintaining a Wide Area Network by providing its AWARDS HMIS software directly to your continuum securely over the Internet.
How to Pay for HMIS software
As part of the 2001 Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Application, HUD made costs associated with the implementation and operation of an HMIS an eligible supportive services expense. Now, communities planning to implement or expand an HMIS can seek funding from HUD for the purchase of existing HMIS software, the lease or purchase of necessary computer equipment, and the staffing costs associated with the day-to-day operation of the HMIS (system administration, training, data analysis, reporting, etc.).
In addition to HUD funding, Continua are using funds from city, county and state governments as well as private foundation and corporate support to pay for the purchase of HMIS software. Read how two of our clients are using Medicaid dollars to fund homeless services.
Ending Homelessness – Learning and Sharing Best Practices
At Foothold, we are constantly following the trends and best practices for addressing homeless and housing issues. We have a team dedicated to homelessness and HMIS (Homeless Management Information System databases). This includes staff from Client Services, Quality Assurance, and Application Development, who meet daily to discuss the needs of our HMIS clients and the continually changing direction of homeless services. Things are constantly in motion with new data standards coming out every year, changes in government, and new research on the best practices for addressing the needs of the homeless and finding better and more efficient ways to end homelessness throughout the country.
Addressing Homelessness in Vermont: Using Data to Make a Difference
We continue to read stories across the country describing individuals experiencing homelessness and the complex behavioral health issues which often accompany those without stable permanent housing. We also hear stories of success coming out of states like Florida, which recently reported its largest homeless decrease in a one-year period.
Held each year during the week prior to Thanksgiving, this week serves as a time when communities come together to raise awareness about hunger and homelessness and to advocate for change. It’s an opportunity for individuals and organizations to join voices with groups like the National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH), the National Student Campaign against Hunger & Homelessness, the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH), the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH), and many other organizations in their “Resolve to Fight Poverty.” At Foothold Technology, we proudly support customers and partners across the country who are working tirelessly each and every week in the fight against hunger and homelessness.

Fright Night, Part II (1989)
Sequels are a tricky business. In horror, they tend to be rather formulaic. However, there’s a big difference between a formulaic slasher film that follows a loose stalk and slash concept, and a sequel that just carbon copies every plot point and story turn from the first film. If you’ve seen the original Fright Night, you’ve already seen a better version of this movie.
It’s a few years later, and Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) has been in therapy, attempting to recover from the incidents of the original film. Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall) is still the host of “Fright Night”, and an adamant believer in the undead since the vanquishing of Jerry Dandridge. Charley is attending college and has new girlfriend in the beautiful and attractive Alex (Tracy Lin). Charley has attempted to put the events of four years ago far behind him, but the past has just caught up to our two heroes. Meet Regine Dandridge (Julie Carmen). Sexy, seductive, alluring, just like her brother Jerry. Regine has come to avenge her brother’s death upon Charley and “the Great Vampire Killer”, Mr. Vincent. Regine ensnares Charley with her blindingly seductive aura, and good old Charley can’t resist her mesmerizing beauty. Brewster tries to deny what’s happening around him, but Regine wishes to make Charley into one of the undead to eternally torture him.
From here the movie takes beat-for-beat reprises from the first film. Peter Vincent, despite his true believer status, is still somewhat cowardly and skeptical as to Charley’s eventual claims. The tables turn quickly as Charley is truly dissuaded in those claims only for Mr. Vincent to peer into his pocket mirror once again to reveal the non-reflection of their vampiric adversaries. Some things vary from the original’s plot path, but there are numerous parallels such as Peter Vincent getting fired as host of Fright Night. Then, there’s essentially a replication of the first film’s climax.
Fright Night, Part II is directed and co-written by Tommy Lee Wallace. I don’t believe he is a particularly bad director, but he hardly ever seems to get films that have good enough or original enough content to really breakout as anything special. His scripts vary in originality. With Halloween III: Season of the Witch, he did a fairly good job with the concept, but it lacked enough compelling content to maintain dramatic momentum. With Vampires: Los Muertos, he has better luck with a more polished production and decent ideas, but with a direct-to-video budget and the cast to go with it, he just fell too short of reaching the quality of Carpenter’s 1998 original. Fright Night, Part II simply has a severe lack of creativity as it more tries to remake the first film instead of attempting to be a smart, natural continuation of it. It’s as if Wallace didn’t know what to do with the characters as they were left at the end of the first film, and just tries to reset everything so he can have them do it all again.
Visually, the movie certainly looks a great deal better if you can locate a widescreen version of it, but it’s not an easy find since the only North American DVD released for it is in pan-and-scan. I’ve only seen a few clips from the widescreen version, and it was a vast improvement in appreciating the visual quality of the movie. Regardless, this sequel focuses more on gore and being more outlandish in its concepts, which is a poor replacement for innovative creativity.
Regine Dandridge is joined by an extremely offbeat band of creatures of the night that are easily more badly comical than scary. The male vampire seems more werewolf like, but it’s quite implied that he is a long-toothed bloodsucker. There is another vampire who is portrayed by a man, and certainly looks like it, yet dresses in drag throughout the entire film, gliding around in roller-skates. It’s utterly ridiculous and an ugly sight to behold. Then, there’s Brian Thompson who is some bug eating brawn of the bunch. He never happens to be anything of note as he hasn’t anything more to do than to say “You’re supposed to bite her on the neck,” and munch on an array of bugs. This group never adds anything particularly positive to the movie. There might be people who enjoy some of their humor, but it just left a terrible impression upon me rather quickly. In the first film, Jerry Dandridge made every attempt to blend in, to be inconspicuous so to not attract undo attention to his horrific nocturnal activities. This group does everything possible to attract as much attention to themselves as possible. Not to mention, the film tries to feed us the weakest of excuses for Charley Brewster to dismiss the obvious truth about them.
Julie Carmen is quite beautiful and seductive. She fills her part well, but doesn’t reach the levels of Chris Sarandon’s Jerry Dandridge. Sarandon just oozed a sexy and seductive charisma, not to mention, a fine level of sophisticated charm. Carmen doesn’t have a rich enough charisma or presence to rival him. The dynamic between Regine and Charley also never really clicked for me. Charley’s characteristically a little awkward and comical, and him being under her trance is played more silly than sensual. Thankfully, both Ragsdale and the late Roddy McDowall maintain great consistency with their return performances. They had their characters locked in for the first film, and four years later, they easily slipped right back into them. It’s a fine thing to witness, but the level of fun cannot measure up to Tom Holland’s Fright Night.
The script has some definite flaws in logic. First off, there’s no way Regine could know who it was that killed her brother. She wasn’t there when it happened, and there was no one left alive to tell her who did it. A revenge plot certainly works fine, but this plot hole is never addressed. Charley seeing a psychiatrist doesn’t make any rational sense, either. He was perfectly fine at the end of the first film, and it was blatantly obvious that Jerry Dandridge was a vampire. There is no disputing that, and there were eye witnesses in Peter Vincent and Charley’s now ex-girlfriend Amy to confirm that. This idea seems to be in the film only for the filmmakers to reset everything so that they can retread the same plot progression as the first movie, which is lazy and sloppy screenwriting. Also, Regine’s revenge plot doesn’t really sell. She’s going to seduce Charley in order to turn him into a vampire – an immortal being of great supernatural power. Revenge plots aren’t usually designed to make your adversary stronger and more capable of defeating you. I get that it’s a turnaround from Jerry seducing and turning Amy in the first movie, but it’s not the most clever scheme for exacting revenge on the person who killed your brother. It lacks innovation and smart screenwriting.
Again, the film doesn’t end in a much different way than the first. In fact, the ending may leave you a bit unsatisfied. It’s slightly clever, but doesn’t equal the dramatic build up in the basement of Jerry Dandridge’s house from the first film. Director Tommy Lee Wallace just isn’t very innovative, and that becomes worse when he’s directing sequels to films helmed by great filmmakers. The makeup effects certainly don’t rival those of the original’s. They look rather hokey and lack either an artistic beauty or solid terrifying quality. Fright Night, Part II only made a few small million at the box office in ’89, and it doesn’t surprise me at all given the time it was released and the quality of the film. It provides some extra gore, but lacks in the fun factor that the original was so rich with. Surely waiting four years to do a sequel didn’t help either. Freddy Kruger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers all suffered bad box office in this year with their respective critically panned sequels, and so, why should this late arriving sequel have been any different?
The film’s stars, McDowall & Ragsdale don’t lose anything from part one to part two, but everything else falls down, at least, big one notch. The effects, the direction, the script, the fun / humor factor, and certainly the villains fall well below the quality of Tom Holland’s original Fright Night. It is worth, at least, a rent, but the first Fright Night is where all the gold lies. Part II simply isn’t as fun, fresh, or nearly as satisfying as its predecessor. There’s far too much bizarre and corny quality throw into this one to really feel polished and smart. Even if I judged this as a standalone film, I still wouldn’t like it based on those qualities alone. I don’t know if I’ll ever fully watch the 2011 remake of Fright Night basically because I’ve already seen one grossly lacking and disappointing remake of the movie, and it was called Fright Night, Part II. I don’t think I have the desire to see another one.

In 2011, they remade this movie. I have not seen it, and I don’t need to. The original Fright Night from director Tom Holland needed no improvement or reinvention. It’s an excellent and immensely entertaining vampire film that mixes enough horror with humor. It has a wonderfully seductive vampire in Chris Sarandon and a wonderful lead in William Ragsdale. As many of the best 1980s vampire films did, it delivers on both solid horror and fun humor in a well balanced blend.
For young Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale), nothing could be better than an old horror movie late at night. However, when he sees the new neighbors bringing a coffin into the house next door, Charley starts to believe his handsome and charming neighbor Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon) is a vampire. Unfortunately, Dandridge knows that Charley is aware of his secret, and attempts to kill him. Charley then becomes deadest to destroy the monster, Of course, nobody believes his wild claims – not the police, not his weird friend “Evil” Ed (Stephen Geoffreys), and not his girlfriend Amy (Amanda Bearse). Ultimately, Charley turns to his beloved horror television show host and cinematic vampire killer Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall) who is also skeptical, but as the terrifying events unfold, he and Charley must stand side-by-side to battle the fanged undead for their own survival.
Fright Night is such a strong movie. Every artistic element really forges together solidly. Most importantly, the cast is brilliantly put together. Writer / director Tom Holland really grabbed up some amazing talents. Firstly, William Ragsdale has so much enthusiasm for the role of Charley Brewster. He really sells every passionate, manic, and heartfelt aspect of the character. Right from the start, he’s purely relatable as this loveable, scared teenager. While playing Charley as an entirely straight, panicked character, Ragsdale is able to illicit so much humor amongst his co-stars. His intensely fearful behavior purely feeds into Ed & Amy’s perspective that he’s gone right out of his mind, and makes for a wonderfully funny juxtaposition. Anyone going to see this movie could easily put themselves in Charley’s place, and that’s really the perfection of this movie. Anyone else in Charley’s position would likely be frightened out of their mind, and look for desperate solutions to this lethal supernatural threat. Still, it’s Ragsdale’s sweetness, heart, and innocent charm that really drive home the likeability of Charley.
The late and very great Roddy McDowall clearly was having major amounts of fun on this movie. His performance as Peter Vincent is greatly charismatic and smart. He brings such jovial, witty quality that required a charming sweetness. The moments where he plays up the corny aspects of the character are very entertaining and brilliant. McDowall also adds subtle touches of depth to this lowly washed up horror legend of Peter Vincent, respectfully named after horror greats Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. As Peter Vincent becomes aware of the horrifying reality at hand, McDowall richly portrays the character’s shaken, fearful state of mind. One of the film’s most intense scenes is after Peter Vincent violently slays a creature of the night, and he witnesses the tragic, nightmarish reversion he takes from wolf back to human form. McDowall gives the scenes such emotional substance with an amazingly deep expression of humanity and sympathy. Most other horror films wouldn’t think to incorporate such a powerful moment, but it deeply motivates Peter Vincent to confront Dandridge once again into the film’s climax. It gives him the strength of will and faith to combat this powerful enemy. It’s a great piece of acting by Roddy, and a brilliant piece of screenwriting and directing by Tom Holland.
I absolutely love Chris Sarandon’s work. I think he is a remarkable actor able to bring a unique and entertaining quality to everything he does. He can do great, straight dramatic acting, or as in The Princess Bride, can play a truly despicable villain while still making him deeply comedic. As Jerry Dandridge, Sarandon oozes seductive sexuality which saturates the screen. He has a hypnotic allure that leaves no doubt in his ability to sway Amy’s desires. Sarandon always brings an elegant sophistication to his performances that really penetrates and creates a very theatrical quality. That is vibrantly on display with Jerry Dandridge. He can be nicely charming as the friendly neighbor, but then, turn on the imposing, frightening qualities which electrifies the screen. In the dance club scene, he completely captivates and enthralls with sensual, erotic physicality in conjunction with Amanda Bearse. It’s a great dynamic that Dandridge is both deeply seductive and romantic as well as fiercely violent. Dandridge is very full of life and compelling charisma that would be a chore for most any other actor, but for Sarandon, it seems to come very naturally.
The supporting cast is just as solid and enjoyable. Jonathan Stark does a very intriguing job as Billy Cole. When things get weird, the character just gets weirder. What sort of creature he is, I’m still uncertain about, but that’s good. It shows that there are things that not even all of the horror movie knowledge in the world can explain in this film. Most would know Amanda Bearse from her years on Married With Children, but she shows a whole different side of her talent here. She demonstrates an impressive range starting out as the wholesome, sweet girlfriend Amy who gradually succumbs to Dandridge’s seduction to become an alluring vixen. It’s quite amazing how sexy and attractive she is late in the film. She plays off of Ragsdale very well with both comedic and heartfelt moments, and later, is very in sync with Chris Sarandon’s sensual vibe. It’s solid work. Stephen Geoffreys is great as the quirky, nutty “Evil” Ed. He’s so much the comic life of the film, and it’s not one of those instances where he’s the lone character off-setting the tone. He entirely fits into the tone and style Tom Holland sets with this film, and Ed just pushes the crazy, hyperactive aspect of it all. He’s the clown of the group, and Geoffreys just goes full boar in the latter half of the film. It’s immensely entertaining and well-rounded, as are all of the performances.
Fright Night is amazingly well shot and edited. Pacing is very tight and consistent. There never feels to be a lull as the momentum constantly builds as the plot progresses and the horror intensifies. Mood and atmosphere are smartly maintained through very good, realistic lighting and strategically used haze. The aforementioned club scene is very 80s with vibrant colors and a lively visual style. There’s nothing low grade in this film. The production values are consistently very high. Sets are perfectly realized, and the effects are flat out excellent. Instead of straining the budget with another series of optical composites or wire work, the filmmakers chose some great camera work to avoid showing Jerry Dandridge flying around early on. This adds to the film, oddly. Fright Night is subtle in what it does early on only giving you a taste of who and what Jerry Dandridge is. It’s not gratuitous or flaunting his abilities. It’s saving that for much later when it has more impact. Of course, the special make-up effects are absolutely phenomenal, and on fully ghastly display. The vampire make-up has multiple phases that all work to striking effect, and there is no shortage of genuine, strong scares or vampire gore. We get a couple of chilling, unsettling sights in this film which proves that Fright Night truly lives up to its title by giving the audience a gruesome, frightening thrill ride. In that final act, Charley and Peter aren’t just dealing with Jerry Dandridge, they have multiple fearsome adversaries to battle through in order to survive.
Tom Holland wrote a very smart, clever, and sharp screenplay. It’s a great premise in which one moment Charley’s watching corny old vampire movies on late night television, and the next he finds a vampire living next door to him. Every element of plot and character is interwoven very tightly to allow for that consistent pace and flow I mentioned before. The comedy in the film dynamically fits in very well with the startling horror aspects. When the horror kicks in, it’s high gear all the way, and done with immense talent and skill. He brings out amazing performances and chemistry amongst his actors to create a richly cohesive piece of cinema. Holland really knew how to build suspense and tension to give the terror a strong pay-off. Even the seductive, sexual aspects are given their due build-up to pay them off for the characters and audience. I can’t comment much on Tom Holland’s filmography, but between Fright Night and Child’s Play, he has more than sold me on his talent for horror.
Overall, the original Fright Night is extremely hard to beat. I’m not opposed to ever watching the remake, but I also have no desire to go out of my way to do so. Tom Holland made a purely fun and excellent horror film here that is rich with character, style, terror, and a smart story. Even the 1989 sequel Fright Night, Part II could not rival this film’s innovation and intelligence. You surely cannot go wrong with this delightfully scary film. The performances are amazing all around giving you several wonderfully conceived and executed characters to invest yourself in, and a marvelously realized vampire villain that will surely satisfy on multiple levels. Fright Night is a bonafide classic of the genre in my eyes, and I am surely not alone in that sentiment. If you’ve never seen the original, you will be doing yourself a great favor by doing so. I’ll also clue you in on the two pirate audio commentaries that were recorded by Icons of Fright featuring, among others, Tom Holland, William Ragsdale, Stephen Geoffreys, Chris Sarandon, and Jonathan Stark. They are great insightful listens, and they’re FREE to download!

From George Washington to Stephen Bloomer Balch, 22 November 1785
To Stephen Bloomer Balch
revd Sir,
The expence attending the residence of my Nephews at Georgetown so far exceeds the idea I was led to entertain when they went there, that, in behalf of their Guardian, I am compelled to remove them.
When they were sent to the Academy under your management, I was informed by Colo. Fitzhugh, that the charge for schooling & Board (if I am not mistaken) was £31 each—Cloathing if judiciously applied & properly attended to, I knew could not be a very great expence, for boys of their standing. But to my surprize, I have already paid Mr Stoddert £67.18.6—Mr Bayly £55.5.2—& yesterday in a letter from the latter, I am informed that there is half a years board due to him for each—& an accot of cloathing besides, yet to be exhibited.
The leading motive Sir, which influenced me to send them to Georgetown was, their boarding with you; & I expected from what had passed between us, after the intervention which had occasioned the suspension of it, they would have returned to you: but now Mr Bayly writes me that he also declines boarding them after the 24th inst: & points out a third person.
These several circumstances combining, added to a conviction founded in experience, that I cannot restrain the profuse & improper advances of Goods for them at a distance, have induced me to bring them to Alexandria, where I shall be a witness to their wants, and can supply their necessities upon more advantageous terms, than they have been hitherto.1 I am revd Sir &c.
1. GW wrote in his diary for 23 Nov.: “Sent Mr. [William] Shaw through Alexandria, to agree for the Schooling & Board of my Nephews George & Lawrence Washington now at the Academy at George Town & thence to the latter place to conduct them to the former for the purpose of going to School at the Alexandria Academy.” Two days later he wrote: “Mr. Shaw returned, having removed George & Lawe. Washington to the Alexandria Academy & fixed them at the Widow Dades [probably Parthenia Alexander Massey Dade]” (Diaries description begins Donald Jackson and Dorothy Twohig, eds. The Diaries of George Washington. 6 vols. Charlottesville, Va., 1976–79. description ends , 4:236, 241). See GW to William Bailey, this date.

Feds indict and arrest former top officials at company that distributed millions of opioids
Posted 12:50 pm, July 19, 2019, by CNN Wires
A federal grand jury has indicted pharmaceutical wholesaler Miami-Luken, two of its top former officials, and two pharmacists with conspiring to illegally distribute millions of prescription painkillers in some of the states hit hardest by the opioid epidemic, the Justice Department announced.
A federal grand jury has indicted pharmaceutical wholesaler Miami-Luken, two of its top former officials, and two pharmacists with conspiring to illegally distribute millions of prescription painkillers in some of the states hit hardest by the opioid epidemic, the Justice Department announced Thursday.
The indictment says the distribution of oxycodone and hydrocodone was “outside the scope of professional practice and not for a legitimate medical purpose,” Benjamin C. Glassman, the US Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, said in the indictment.
Miami-Luken, a drug distributor based in Springboro, Ohio, allegedly failed to report suspicious orders and exercise the care needed to prevent the drugs from being diverted from proper use.
The four individuals charged include Miami-Luken’s former president and compliance officer and two West Virginia pharmacists, the release said. They were arrested Thursday morning.
“Today’s arrests should be a wake-up call to distributors and pharmacists who are allowing opioid prescription pills to be illegally sold and dispensed from their facilities,” said Drug Enforcement Administration Assistant Administrator John Martin.
The wholesaler distributed 2.6 million hydrocodone tablets and 2.3 million units of oxycodone to a pharmacy in a West Virginia town of only 1,400 people between 2011 and 2015, the Justice Department said. One of the pharmacists operated in that town, the indictment says.
The wholesaler also shipped more than 1.8 millions oxycodone tablets to a pharmacy that was under DEA investigation.
It’s the second time distributors have been criminally charged with these crimes. In April, two former executives of Rochester Drug Co-Operative were charged with illegally distributing opioids and conspiring to defraud the US Drug Enforcement Agency.
Miami-Luken sold drugs in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and West Virginia, according to the Justice Department.
CNN was unable to contact company officials Thursday. In January, the Dayton Daily News reported the company was in the process of closing.
If convicted, the defendants could face 20 years in prison.
Opioids, a class of pharmaceuticals that include prescription painkillers as well as illicit drugs like heroin, are at the root of an ongoing public health crisis in the US. In 2017, there were 47,600 opioid-linked drug fatalities in the United States — more than the number of deaths linked to breast cancer — according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

York man accused of stabbing man in neck during argument
Posted 12:38 PM, September 30, 2019, by Keith Schweigert
YORK COUNTY — A 28-year-old York man has been charged with numerous offenses, including attempted murder, after a stabbing last Friday on the 3800 block of Bull Road in Conewago Township, according to Northern York County Regional Police.
Ronald Damien Weaver, of the 500 block of West King Street, is also charged with two counts of aggravated assault, terroristic threats, possessing an instrument of crime, and simple assault in the incident, which occurred around 11:33 p.m. in Dover, police say.
According to police, officers were dispatched to a home on Bull Road in response to the report of a disturbance. When they arrived, they found two victims on the ground, both covered in blood. A male victim had suffered a stab wound to the left side of his neck, and was going in and out of consciousness, according to police. A female victim sustained a severe laceration to the back of her right calf, police say. The female victim told police she and the male victim had been stabbed by Weaver, who was standing nearby.
The woman had been stabbed while trying to break up a fight between Weaver and the male victim, according to police.
Officers who took Weaver into custody observed the strong odor of alcohol coming from his person. Weaver had also sustained a laceration to his right hand, police say.
Weaver allegedly admitted to consuming “four or five” beers and liquor throughout the day, according to police.
Officers located a bloody knife a few feet from where Weaver had been standing, and also located a glass smoking pipe near where he was taken into custody, according to police. There was a small amount of marijuana in the pipe, police say.
A witness told police that the male and female victim were engaged in a verbal argument when Weaver allegedly threatened to stab the male victim if he did not stop hitting the woman, police say. Weaver and the male victim then began fighting, the witness told police.
The female victim, who was taken to Memorial Hospital for treatment of her injury, told police she and the male victim were arguing, but the argument was verbal in nature and never turned physical, according to police. The male victim allegedly attempted to take the woman’s phone away from her when Weaver intervened and stabbed him, the woman told police.
Officers did not observe any injuries on the woman that indicated she was the victim of physical abuse, according to the criminal complaint.
The female victim reported that Weaver had been talking about stabbing someone and going back to jail all night prior to the incident, police say.
Weaver was transported to the York County Judicial Center to be processed and arraigned on the charges.

Amber Guyger gets 10-year murder sentence for fatally shooting Botham Jean
Posted 5:13 PM, October 2, 2019, by Sean Naylor, Updated at 09:58PM, October 2, 2019
This week, the trial of Amber Guyger is expected to reach its conclusion, entering its seventh day on Monday as Guyger's attorneys continue their defense.
Amber Guyger, the former Dallas police officer who killed Botham Jean in his apartment last year, is heading to prison to begin a 10-year sentence. She will first be eligible for parole in five years.
“Of course that’s inadequate. The entire justice system is inadequate and the work must continue,” S. Lee Merritt, an attorney who represents Jean’s family, wrote on Twitter.
Dallas District Attorney John Creuzot said that his office is very pleased with the verdict and sentence.
When asked if his office was concerned about the 10-year sentence, Creuzot said that, though he personally he expected a longer sentence, he respected the jury’s decision.
“We’re going to move on and Botham’s family is moving on,” he said.
Jury finds Amber Guyger guilty of shooting unarmed neighbor after she mistakenly entered his apartment
The final day of the murder trial included a stunning moment in which Jean’s younger brother, Brandt, told Guyger during his victim impact statement that he forgave her, and gave her a long hug before she was taken to prison.
Just after that, District Judge Tammy Kemp apparently gave Guyger a Bible and also hugged her.
“You can have mine. I have three or four more at home,” the judge said. “This is the one I use every day. This is your job for the next month. It says right here. John 3:16. And this is where you start. ‘For God so loved the world…'”
Jean’s mother, Allison, didn’t react to the sentence, other than to tell reporters outside the courtroom the 10 years will give Guyger time to reflect and to change her life.
Jurors on Tuesday had found Guyger, 31, guilty of murder for fatally shooting Jean in his Dallas apartment in 2018. She had faced between five years and 99 years for the shooting.
Ex-officer Amber Guyger testifies that she wishes Botham Jean ‘was the one with the gun who had killed me’
Allison Jean told reporters that the trial exposed corruption in the Dallas police department.
Allison Jean said the crime scene was contaminated.
“The city of Dallas needs to clean up inside. The Dallas police department has a lot of laundry to do,” she said.
As for the sentence, she said Guyger needs to reflect and change her life.
‘I thought it was my apartment,’ officer says 19 times in tearful 911 call after shooting Botham Jean
She said the former officer was either trained poorly or applied her training incorrectly.
“That should never, ever happen again,” she said. “If Amber Guyger was trained not to shoot in the heart, my son would be standing here today.”
‘Botham was my absolute person’
Wednesday sentencing hearing began with testimony from Jean’s close friend who shared stories of his love for sports and God. She wept over a text message she never sent to him.
Alexis Stossel met Jean her junior year at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. They became best friends after they were appointed to sit on a business school advisory board, she testified.
The hearing began shortly after Tuesday’s verdict, in which jurors found Guyger, 31, guilty — despite the ex-officer’s defense that she mistakenly walked into the wrong apartment and opened fire because she thought Jean was an intruder.
“Next to my husband, Botham was my absolute person,” Stossel said, explaining that before she got married, she told her would-be spouse, “I love you, but this man is going to be in my life forever, and he’s going to be a part of us forever.”
Her husband, Jacob, and Jean shared an interest in the NBA and became friends themselves after Stossel and Jean moved to Texas following graduation. She would joke that she was their third wheel, she testified.
Jean called Stossel “Big Tex” because of her height. He insisted that she call him “her black friend, Botham,” she said, laughing at the memory.
“People gravitated towards him,” Stossel said of Jean. “It didn’t matter if you didn’t know him personally or you were just in the same room, you just felt welcomed by his presence.”
Guyger’s mom raises sexual assault
Taking the stand to speak on her daughter’s behalf, Karen Guyger, 66, provided some background on Amber Guyger’s siblings, her separation from Amber Guyger’s father and her children’s upbringing in Arlington, just outside Dallas.
She broke down several times during her testimony and had trouble getting her words out as she recounted suspecting her ex-boyfriend of sexually molesting Amber in 1995, when she was 6.
“I was going back to the bedroom. I was fixing to take a shower and I forgot my comb. And that’s when I saw him coming down out the bedroom and then Amber came out,” she said.
Amber Guyger’s sister, Alana Guyger, later elaborated, saying the boyfriend “touched (Amber) inappropriately on a few occasions.”
Amber’s mother called police, who arrested her then-boyfriend on a count of indecency with a child, to which he pleaded guilty, Karen Guyger said.
The weeping mother said her daughter was a sweet child who made friends quickly. She loved music and played violin and trumpet as a youngster. She loved the outdoors and was always a responsible, hard worker, her sister said.
“She was the little sister the I always looked up to,” said Alana Guyger, who shared a bedroom with her sister as a child. “I’ve always admired her for being brave. She’s outgoing. She just has this certain positive energy that everybody gravitates toward. They want to be her friend.”
Amber Guyger always had an interest in policing — joining an anti-drug program in grade school and going on ride-alongs with police in high school. She dropped out of college in her junior year so she could join the police academy, Karen Guyger said.
Karen Guyger suffers from pulmonary fibrosis and her daughter always worries about her and helps take care of her, she said. She brings her mother “little thoughtful gifts for no reason,” her sister testified.
On the day Jean died, the mother said, her daughter called crying uncontrollably.
“She was very upset. I couldn’t understand her when she first told me. I couldn’t understand her because she was crying so hard,” she said.
In later conversations, her daughter told her, “She wanted to take his place. She’d always tell me she wished that she could take his place. She feels very bad about it.”
Added Alana Guyger, “She doesn’t have that same light or energy that she had before. … She’s expressed to me how she feels bad spending time with her family because he can’t be with his.”
Jean’s father takes the stand
Prior to Guyger’s mother’s testimony, Jean’s father, Bertrum Jean, took the stand, vacillating between tears and smiles. He recounted how when Botham Jean was young, he enjoyed being around him and always looked forward to picking him up at his grandmother’s house after work.
“It did not matter what time it was, I just wanted him with me,” he testified. “There were times when my friends said I was babying him, a big boy, but I enjoyed doing that.”
As he grew up, Jean, like many kids in primary school, grew embarrassed of embracing his father, “but I demanded it: ‘Come and hug your dad,'” Bertrum Jean said.
While Botham Jean was at Harding, his father also looked forward to their Sunday chats. They’d talk about church and Botham Jean would show off “his good cooking, which he learned from me.”
“My Sundays have been destroyed … because I’m not hearing his voice,” Bertrum Jean testified, saying he can’t bear to watch video of his son singing because it’s too painful.
“How could we have lost Botham? Such a sweet boy, he tried his best to live a good, honest life. He loved God. He loved everyone. How could this happen to him?” Bertrum Jean said.
Former crack addict says Guyger made her feel human
LaWanda Clark met Guyger in 2017 when police came to the home where she was doing drugs. Guyger wrote her a ticket.
She told Clark, you can keep doing drugs or this can be your ticket out, Clark told the court. At the drug house, Guyger kept coming back to talk to Clark.
“It made me feel so human. It made me stop and think,” Clark said. “She let me know that I mattered, that she just didn’t see me as an addict.”
Clark went to court for the ticket where she was entered into a drug rehabilitation program. When she learned she would be graduating, she called police and asked whether the officer who wrote her a ticket could come.
Guyger came, and “I don’t know who was more excited,” said Clark, who said she hasn’t done crack since she was cited.
Guyger faces up to life in prison
During the trial, Guyger testified that after working long hours September 6, 2018, she returned to her apartment complex. In uniform but off duty, she approached what she thought was her apartment. She noticed the door was ajar, found a man inside and fired her service weapon, killing him.
She was actually at the apartment directly above hers, which belonged to the 26-year-old accountant from St. Lucia. Jean was on the couch, watching TV and eating ice cream when Guyger walked in, prosecutors said.
On the phone with a 911 operator that night, Guyger said 19 times she thought she had been in her apartment.
Guyger was initially charged with manslaughter, but a grand jury later indicted her for murder. The Dallas Police Department fired her.

Well, if they did a project it shouldn't be as Led Zeppelin (I would hope not. Not without Robert). "Zeppelin with Tyler". "Zeppelin with Chris Cornell" the threads abound. Yada yada. I highly doubt it. But I'm just guessing. But that said, this is just my opinion. I don't think they'd do it. At least I hope not! "Zeppelin boys do a Velvet Revolver". Please let's hope not. If they actually were to work togather, please let's not call it Zeppelin!

It can't be Led Zeppelin without Plant. I've said this on other threads but IMHO there is no way another male singer will be able to pull it off anyway's. If Jimmy and Jonesy do indeed put something together then I think it should be with a hot unknown female singer. New material and then a tour. Just not as Zeppelin

Yeah, definitely wouldnt be Zeppelin without Plant. Now that Wolfmother is no more, then JP and JPJ should team up with Andrew Stockdale but not call it Zeppelin. A lot people have named older guys as their choice for lead singer with the two J's but personally, I think someone younger would fit the bill just as well. My 2 cents.

Maybe they could find someone through the internet. YEAH! RIGHT! Would a load of crap. Got to love the thought inducing threads here.

I think that it would be fine to move on without Robert and still call themselves Led Zeppelin.
That is insane. No way. That makes no sense.

They could get this guy:

Love her voice. Point is, these guy's are not getting any younger and if Robert isn't interested then it's time they moved on and did something. If there's nothing left in the tank then, it's time we stopped insisting that there is

it can't be Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant.
but it can be Led Zeppelin without John Bonham...
I don't think they should use the LZ name no matter how they tour, should they decide to.

Absolutely no one. Any alternative would be a degradation of everything that Led Zeppelin ever was and destroy whatever integrity remains.

"If Zeppelin tour without Robert..."
......it's not Zeppelin.

No, it wouldn't and shouldn't be called Led Zeppelin but, Jimmy, Jonesy and hopefully Jason could still do something without using the Zeppelin name.

Why all this ridiculous talk about touring with or without Plant? And how many threads are there going to be about this? The point is, afaik Jimmy Page owns the rights to the name Led Zeppelin. If it's not legally in writing, which i'm sure it is, it's should be common law. Everyone in the world knows it's his band and he is responsible for it's legacy. So only he can determine if it should continue without Plant. My personal opinion is that he/they wont cheapen the image of the band by grabbing a vocalist for hire just to tour. They do not owe anyone a tour regardless of what you all may think. They have done more and certainly have paid the price for it, than most groups could hope to accomplish and them doing the O2 concert may be all we get. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the boys (intact) do a few more shows because I am human and love them just as much as anyone, but I don't want to see another Pink Floyd saga happen again. In answer to your question, I don't think RJD (although probably very flattered) would take it on. Ozzy? Are you kidding
During the absence of Robert Plant, the most they can present is Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, graciously accompanied by the following guest artists.

For me, it's all about the Jimmy. He can tour as Jimmy Page & Friends with guest musicians. Or just himself, and call it Jimmy Page & His Invisible Friends, it doesn't matter! I just hope he keeps on playing.
Or join Angus and Malcolm when they do a guest appearance with the Rolling Stones.

I've seen you post this many times now, and I'm just curious. I had similar gut feelings about it, but clearly it's perfectly ok with the family of John Bonham. If it's ok with his wife and children, it's ok by me. Obviously it's ok with most of the rest of the world, as well.
Why can't continuing as Led Zeppelin with his son taking his seat be in loving tribute to Bonzo instead of the insult you seem to think it?
To the point, I don't give a fig what they call it, as long as we get the chance to see Jimmy and Jonesy hopefully with Jason perform together live on stage some time. That would make me very happy.
Zeppelin is Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham. I'll give a pass for Jason, as he is a Bonham. But Zeppelin without the voice and presence of Robert Plant? Unimaginable! So it was "Jimmy's band". Robert fronted it, wrote the majority of the lyrics, and was integral to the picture and the image. Could Townsend, Entwhistle (God rest his soul) and Moon's son (if he had one who was a phenomnal drummer) tour as the Who without Daltrey? Could Keith tour as the Stones without Mick? Oh yeah, that was Brian Jones' band remember?
No Plant=No Zeppelin. IMO.

As Ev posted. If there is no Page, Plant, Jones or Bonham, it's not Led Zeppelin. And it would be shame if any of the members of the band tried to pass it off as Zeppelin, because they know it's not Zeppelin.

it would be shame if any of the members of the band tried to pass it off as Zeppelin, because they know it's not Zeppelin.
They do and Jimmy would NOT even attempt it.
Just call it the Page Jones band or something vanilla like that and it still sells lots and lots of tickets.

Ys and Xenoblade Warriors being considered
Lightchao42 replied to Jedi's topic in General Gaming
I wonder how they'd handle the roster of Xenoblade Warriors if it ever gets made. XC1 has seven party members, XCX has eight "main" party members, eleven more optional ones, and a potato, and XC2 has six main Drivers. And that's not getting into villains, NPCs, and the previous Xeno games. The Drivers in TTGC can fight without their Blades, so maybe Lora and Addam can fight by themselves without "their" versions of Jin and Mythra. Or they can use Haze and Minoth instead while Jin fights on his own and Mythra sticks with Rex, though Brighid meeting a past incarnation of herself does sound like something she would want to do. The present versions Pyra, Mythra, and Jin reuniting with Addam and Lora do seem like interesting (and heartbreaking) scenarios. But then again most first installment Warriors spinoffs have small rosters so Lora and Addam would just be DLC anyway. KOS-MOS's VA in XC2 is actually her fourth English voice actress (and T-elos's second), which is somewhat excusable in that she technically isn't the same character as Xenosaga's KOS-MOS (unlike Shulk, Fiora, and Elma, who are themselves from their home games). Her Japanese actress has always remained consistent though. Most of the Xenoblade VAs should be able to come back, but maybe some of Xenosaga's cast can come back too? I think Richard Epcar at least would be able to voice Ziggy again.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate News and Discussion: Six more characters incoming!
Lightchao42 replied to Lightchao42's topic in Super Smash Bros.
If Rex is added as DLC I hope he comes with a XC2 stage. I don't know what they would choose, but Ultimate is lacking in new stages thus far and Alrest has plenty of interesting locations to work with. I think there's a chance we still have some unannounced new stages, but we probably won't see any more past stages returning (as there's no reason to not reveal them by now). I hope the reason Poké Floats isn't returning is because they're waiting to announce a "Poké Floats 2" alongside a Pokémon newcomer.
Lightchao42 replied to Rex Glacies's topic in General Gaming
Xenoblade 2 and Torna may be complete, but versions 2.0.1 and 1.0.1 (respectively) were recently released. They don't come with any new content, but they do have some helpful bug fixes. You can see the patch notes here. I'm glad Monolith Soft took the time to remove these pesky leftover glitches. I didn't think they would, since chances are they already started on their next project.
Do you love bacon?
Lightchao42 replied to XRay's topic in Far from the Forest...
Nah. I don't hate it, but I won't go out of my way to eat it either.
On Addam and Mythra's relationship Speaking of which... In my own interpretation Or at least that's what I think.
Catalyst isn't necessary, Rex would be perfectly fine with just Pyra and Mythra. Or it's arranged like that because the last row doesn't have enough characters to be full, so it's centered because it wouldn't be aesthetically pleasing for there to be two blank spaces on Isabelle's right. By that reasoning, the positions of the blanks would have nothing to do with whoever the remaining characters are. And really, why would they deliberately leave hints to who the final characters are through positioning like that? Though the download card is really quite nice; I like physical versions but I'd be tempted to get it just for how it looks.
I agree with Armagon that you should try complete every sidequest, though the quest with the green barrels might give you some trouble if you don't use a guide. The final boss is level in case you don't want your party to be too much higher than that when you reach the final battle. Also, Skye Bennett will begin streaming Torna tomorrow, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:00 BST. You can watch her streams on Twitch here if you are interested.
What non-echo Square Enix rep (besides Geno) would you like in Smash Ultimate?
Lightchao42 replied to Perkilator's topic in Super Smash Bros.
Pac-Man isn't too much of an oddity, and I think he would've been included (or at least considered) even if Bandai Namco wasn't making it just because of how much of an icon he is (though the Namco association might've had something to do with his inclusion). Pac-Man has crossed over with Mario on occasion, and Miyamoto even requested that Sakurai include him in Brawl because Pac-Man is his favorite video game character (Sakurai only thought of Pac-Man's original 2D sprite so he didn't think much of the request at the time).
Actually Malos is Dark elemental; his health bar shows the Light icon because it's his weakness, so he and Mythra are opposites. The icon shown on each enemy's health bar is to show you the element they're weak to, not the element they possess: the elemental pairs being Fire/Water, Wind/Ice, Earth/Electric, and Light/Dark. A Fire elemental enemy will have the Water icon on their health bar, and so on. Most of your plot related thoughts and questions will be answered once you get to the main game, so you needn't worry about that.
The problem with Dragon Quest is that, while it is a popular series, it doesn't have any characters as famous as Cloud or the other third party characters... except maybe Slime, but that's more of an enemy than a "real" character. I would like to see Dragon Quest be like Monster Hunter in that it gets some representation without having a character, even if Square Enix will probably stingy about it. And Sora is definitely more associated with Nintendo than Snake and Cloud are, or even Pac-Man.
Though Torna's been out for a while now, they finally released an English version of the Japanese overview trailer. The non-plot related content is between 0:40 and 5:12.
If we're theorizing Theorycrafting is fun! Actually
Controlling Artifices is one of the abilities of the Aegises. Pyra in Chapter 6 knows the Artifices are from Elysium but not much else (Nia in particular wonders how Elysium is both a divine paradise and a "scary weapon stash"), so presumably the Aegises can call them down from Elysium at will.
Summer/Winter units you want to see
Lightchao42 replied to indigoasis's topic in Fire Emblem Heroes
I don't really care for seasonals, but for some reason I want to see Santa Ike with Soren as his "jolly" elf assistant. Also swimsuit Azura so we can finally have an armored dancer.
If we base our mindset on the Fifty Fact Extravaganza, which is likely the closest point of comparison (being one last infodump before release), then any final Ultimate Direct should be early-to-mid November; the Fifty Fact Extravaganza aired October 23, while Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was first released a month later, on November 21. By this reasoning, the final Direct would air about a month before Ultimate releases. That isn't to say there can't be a new character announced this month, but I find a dedicated Smash Direct unlikely.
I find this doubtful because... Airing a Direct a month after revealing Isabelle doesn't sound like "slowing our pace" to me, unless by some chance there is only one character announced. Though it's not surprising that rumors like these are around, since ignoring what Sakurai says isn't a recent phenomenon. That being said... Why would people who can't speak Japanese be reading Famitsu in the first place? Despite what Sakurai says here, King K. Rool is still called that in the Japanese version (Dedede, meanwhile, doesn't have his "King" title in the Japanese version). Maybe the "King" is part of his unique name?
This is true and I agree, but Lucina was a last minute addition (and even if she was decloned she would still be derived from Marth) and Daisy, as popular as she is, probably wouldn't have been included as anything other than an Echo Fighter. Isabelle is the face of one of Nintendo's most popular series, and she's only the second Animal Crossing character (thus appealing more to the AC fanbase) while Mario and Fire Emblem have plenty of other characters for fans of those franchises. Or perhaps the simpler explanation is "Isabelle is unique because Sakurai felt like making her unique".
I think the real reason for Isabelle being unique is that she's too popular/marketable to "just" be an Echo. All the other Echoes are bonuses but Isabelle would've been included even if there were no Echoes.
This week's music is from Tomodachi Life.
My thoughts on your thoughts That really is the whole crux of Malos's character arc.
In that case Castlevania is the only third party series with playable characters to have an item, which is odd since it's only been in one Smash Bros. while Sonic has been in three. Anyway I decided to take a preliminary look at how many characters each series has. Counting Echo Fighters... Nine: Pokémon (seven if you count Pokémon Trainer as one character) Eight: Mario Seven: Fire Emblem Six: Zelda Four: Metroid Three: Donkey Kong, Kirby, Star Fox, Kid Icarus Two: EarthBound, Animal Crossing, Castlevania One: Yoshi, F-Zero, Ice Climber, Game & Watch, WarioWare, Metal Gear, Sonic, Pikmin, R.O.B., Mega Man, Wii Fit, Punch-Out!!, Pac-Man, Xenoblade, Duck Hunt, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Bayonetta, Splatoon If you ignore Echo Fighters, Mario has seven, Metroid has three, Fire Emblem has five, Kid Icarus has two, and Castlevania has one. Fun fact: Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, Animal Crossing, and Castlevania are the only universes introduced after the first game to have more than one character. How should series representation change in the future?
I don't know if I just have low standards or something but I liked all of Xenoblade 2's voice acting. Giving characters different accents depending on their nation or whether or not they're a Blade was a brilliant decision, and everyone generally sounded like an actual person.
To be fair But as an aside, can we take a moment to appreciate how Mythra's post-battle conversations (and most of them for that matter) are all gold? She sounds too much like a real person, which is helped by Skye Bennett's delivery making Mythra's brattiness entertaining/endearing rather than annoying (in addition to nobody taking her seriously).
I don't think "trigger happy" is the phrase I would use to describe Ultimate's news cycle, nor do I think that reveals came at a fast pace to begin with, but this is just about what I expected. I expect another infodump Direct in November/December and that's it.
I finished Torna earlier today and as expected it ends badly for everyone. How badly? Let's review... The story covered just about everything I wanted it to (except maybe learning more about Judicium), and overall I am very happy with the experience and the DLC as a whole. The book on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has closed, so I'm looking forward to seeing what Monolith Soft has in store next. And Sakurai please add Rex and Pyra to Smash Ultimate.

This is how much Ghana’s telecom sector contributes in taxes to the economy
Finding from a total tax contribution (TTC) survey by the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications reveals significant contribution of the telecom sector towards Ghana’a economic growth
Total Taxes and Payments for 2018
The data reveals that the sector’s total taxes and payments to government amounted to GHC2.2 billion in 2018. The Chamber used a total tax contribution methodology to measure total cash payments for business operations by its members over the period. Tax components include corporate income tax, Value Added Taxes, Communication Service tax Withholding taxes, and Import duties and other surcharges, and social security contributions.
HUAWEI can be no.1 in smartphones without Google
Telcos seek audit proof for alleged tax under-declaration
AirtelTigo names Murthy Chaganti as new Chief Executive Officer
Vodafone Ghana announces big broadband packages
The total contributions of GHC 2.2 billion represents approximately 9 percent of Ghana’s annual total tax revenue earnings. CEO of the telecoms Chamber revealed the figures at a media briefing. Thus the telecom sector contributes notably in taxes to Ghana’s economy.
Breakdown of Tax Components
From the data, Communication Service tax (CST) tops tax contributions with GHC420 million, averaging 19 percent of total contribution. Secondly, Value Added Tax (VAT) contributes GHC413 million, averaging 18 percent of total contributions.
Also, Corporate Taxes are in third place with a total of GHC343 representing approximately 16 percent of total contribution. Then, another tax component with notable contribution is the Surcharge on International Incoming Traffic (SIIT) with contribution of GHC155 million. The SIIT is the total value of six cents per every minute of call that comes from overseas into the country.
Additionally, other products taxes, regulatory fees and the universal service fund, mainly consists of one percent of annual net revenue. Telecom operators usually pay such fees to the National Communications Authority on quarterly basis. They also pay an additional one percent of annual net revenue into an electronic fund set up by the government (GIFEC). Total contribution of these fees for the period was approximately GHc114 million.
Statutory payments according to Mr. Ashigbey, are based on businesses operations and are payable whether a business makes profit or not.
The survey also states that the total 0.07 percent tax contribution of mobile financial services (MFS) to the tax contribution is about GHc15.1 million. These are mostly withholding taxes (WHT) on commissions to merchants and MFS engagements with suppliers, distributors among others.
The findings further indicate that the telecoms industry has about 6,500 employees. Also Government receives approximately GHC64 million Pay As You Earn taxes from operators annually.
Contribution to the economy
Figures indicate notable contribution by the telecom’s industry to the economy of Ghana. This is in terms of taxes and also employment to the people of Ghana.

Chairman Prescott
Chairman Richard Prescott
COALITION OF ORDERED GOVERNMENTS
Chairman Richard Prescott comes from a family of politicians. His father and grandfather helped guide Sera through difficult times, and Prescott himself has had to make very hard choices, including the Hammer of Dawn strikes that killed millions of his own people, as well as the sinking of Jacinto. Both of these were attempts to destroy the Locust, but neither worked as well as Prescott had hoped. But he lived with those decisions.
Prescott’s ultimate goal was to find a way to finally eradicate the Locust and Lambent while keeping the Coalition of Ordered Governments' survivor’s fed and safe. He even lied about Adam Fenix's death so he could abduct him and hide him on the secret island of Azura until Adam found a cure for Lambency. Prescott kept this a secret until the day he died off Hanover Coast in 17 A.E., shortly after giving Marcus Fenix a data disk and encryption key that would reveal his father’s secret location.

AT&T and Microsoft Team Up on Azure Services Using 5G and Edge Computing
Microsoft and AT&T offered an update on their 5G partnership late last month with the aim of using edge computing capabilities to "drive enterprise capabilities" for businesses around the world.
The partnership is centered on the greater promised data capacities offered by the nascent 5G wireless networks that are still getting constructed. These emerging 5G networks, when launched, are said to light up higher bandwidth for mobile applications, enabled partly via localized processing called "edge computing."
To that end, Microsoft and AT&T announced a preview of their Network Edge Compute (NEC) technology. NEC combines AT&T's software-defined networking and "virtualized 5G core" technologies (known as the AT&T "Network Cloud") with Microsoft's Azure cloud services. The NEC technology helps AT&T's Network Cloud in delivering Azure services to customers. AT&T plans to preview NEC first in Dallas for "select customers," but an expansion of the preview is planned in 2020 for Atlanta and Los Angeles.
Microsoft is also helping to move AT&T's non-network traffic over to Azure infrastructure, with a completion milestone sometime in 2024. Additionally, AT&T plans to use various Microsoft 365 services, including Office, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams. Microsoft had highlighted those migration efforts back in July.
Future Efforts
The two companies see scenarios opening up for consumers and businesses with 5G and edge computing.
"With our 5G and edge computing, AT&T is collaborating uniquely with Microsoft to marry their cloud capabilities with our network to create lower latency between the device and the cloud that will unlock new, future scenarios for consumers and businesses," said Mo Katibeh, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for AT&T Business, in a prepared statement.
Those future scenarios include things like self-tracking drones, the use of augmented reality "glasses," and "autonomous cars," according to the announcement. Proof-of-concept projects currently exist for things like drone tracking near airports and the use of Microsoft's HoloLens augmented reality headsets for equipment repairs.
In May, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella had highlighted an effort with AT&T to use its 5G network with Azure Stack for handling edge computing tasks, including drone airspace tracking. Azure Stack is Microsoft's datacenter-in-a-box hardware appliance, built with partners, that lets organizations tap Azure services on their own infrastructure.
AT&T's 5G Network Rollout
AT&T is forecasting that its nationwide 5G service will launch in "the first half of 2020." 5G coverage for 15 U.S. cities can be seen in AT&T's network maps (PDF download).
The initial 5G service rollout will use AT&T's so-called "low-band spectrum" (less than 6 GHz frequency band), which is called "5G Evolution" by AT&T because it uses enhanced 4G LTE technology that can be software upgraded to 5G. The range of the 5G Evolution wireless network is about two miles. Parts of AT&T's network likely will continue to use 4G LTE wireless technology in the near future, though, AT&T admitted in a FAQ.
Another higher bandwidth service, AT&T's "5G+" service, uses millimeter-wave spectrum (typically in the 26 to 28 GHz frequency band). The 5G+ service is conceived for use by stadiums, college campuses and urban areas. It has a shorter range of about 1,000 feet. The 5G+ service is currently offered in 21 cities, but is planned for expansion to 30 cities in "early 2020," per a November AT&T announcement.
5G Spectrum and Prospects
The mobile industries' plans envision tapping various wireless frequency bands to support 5G, although the 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz band typically will "form the basis of many initial 5G services," according to a position paper (PDF download) by GSMA, a mobile operator lobbying group. The group wants governments to set aside certain frequency bands for the purpose. The GSMA contends that 5G will "meet evolving consumer mobile demands" and it will "transform industry vertical sectors."
Analyst group IDC foresees 5G as ending a three-year slump in global smartphone shipments as new phones will be needed. This 5G boost is expected to occur most aggressively in China, which will take the lead in 2020, per IDC's November announcement.
Apparently, 4G technology is still good enough for most consumer users, though. In 2020, Forrester Research predicts that 5G will mostly just be an industry concern.
"Yes, it [5G] will matter for industrial players, but to consumers, 5G in 2020 will feel like 3G in 2004 or 4G in 2010; even urban areas in early-5G-rollout countries such as Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland will get an undifferentiated experience," predicted Thomas Husson, Forrester vice president and principal analyst, in a December blog post.

Google Play Store Spotted With UPI Payments Option in India: Report
Google Play Store v16.3.37 is reportedly giving users the choice of using UPI as a payments option.
By Gadgets 360 Staff With Inputs From IANS | Updated: 2 September 2019 19:29 IST
Photo Credit: XDA Developers
Google Play Store v16.3.37 is reportedly showing the UPI payment option
Unfortunately, we were unable to see the option despite sideloading
Later Google Play Store versions are also not showing the option for us
Google Play Store has now added Unified Payments Interface (UPI) as a payment option for its users in India, according to a media report. Google Play Store in India currently supports credit cards, debit cards, net banking and carrier billing via Airtel and Vodafone, Google Play Gift Cards and Google Play Balance, and through other means like Google Rewards. Now, with a new version of Google Play, a UPI payments option has been spotted.
With Google Play Store v16.3.37, users have begun spotting UPI as an option, XDA Developers reported on Sunday. Unfortunately, we were not able to verify the existence of the UPI payment option, despite sideloading the desired version. Perhaps it is a server-side switch that Google has yet to flip for all users, and, the company has since then released a more recent version of Google Play - v16.4.15. Even with this version, we were unable to see the UPI payment option. Do let us know if you were able to see the payment option in the comments section below.
Since it began operations in 2016, UPI has now been adopted by most apps and services as one of the approved payment methods, which also includes Google's own digital payment app Google Pay (formerly known as Google Tez).
UPI now has 141 Indian banks on board and users from those banks can reportedly use this mode to purchase apps from the Google Play Store. While using UPI, users need not share their card details directly with Google, and instead can make do with their UPI IDs.
However, UPI still requires a PIN to complete the transaction but the smaller limits allowed by the service reduces the quantum of abuse, if there is any chance of it, the report added

So since she’s in the hospital, she gets breast implants, liposuction, a tummy tuck, hair transplants, and collagen injections in her lips. She looks great! The day she’s discharged, she exits the hospital with a swagger, crosses the street, and is immediately hit by an ambulance and killed. Up in heaven, she sees God. “You said I had 30 more years to live,” she complains. “That’s true,” says God. “So what happened?” she asks. God shrugs, “I didn’t recognize you.”

Tag: Tekken 7
New Character In Tekken 7 Through DLC
Although released with a more fresh appearance and new characters in Tekken 7, Bandai Namco seems to still remember some of the old characters of the franchise. Luckily, they will return in the near future in the form of DLC.
Bandai Namco has just released the new Tekken 7 character trailer for second season pass owners: Armor King, Craig Marduk, and Julia. King Armor is one of the characters that often appears in various series, both the first Tekken to the Tag Tournament.
This character is actually divided into two characters, Armor King I and II, where the second is the younger brother of the first. It is not yet clear which Armor King is in Tekken 7 in the future, but many speculate that it is King I. Armor.
Craig Marduk is also an old character that has appeared in Tekken 4, Tekken 5, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Tekken 6, and other series. While Julia who first appeared in Tekken 3 and became a character named Jaycee / J.C. on Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will also re-appear as itself in the newest series.
Not only the three old characters, Bandai Namco also announced its collaboration with The Walking Dead to present Negan.
Tekken 7 can now be played on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. You are the owner of the Season Pass, the game will be able to access the character from December 3 or December 4 Asia time.

Kingston continues to look at the legacy of Sir John A. Macdonald
By Mike Postovit Global News
Posted August 27, 2019 8:57 pm
1:52 Kingston moves forward with looking at Sir John A Macdonald’s entire legacy
WATCH: Kingston is looking to share a more complete, inclusive and diverse history of Sir John A Macdonald.
It’s all about addition, not subtraction.
That’s the latest as the city of Kingston, Sir John A. Macdonald‘s home town, tries to figure out how to move forward when it comes to reflecting the entire legacy of Canada’s first prime minister.
Jennifer Campbell, cultural heritage manager with the city, says one of Kingston’s most compelling cultural assets is its powerful historic narrative, and a central figure in that narrative is Sir John A. Macdonald.

Campbell says the city wants to shine an updated spotlight on Macdonald — the good as well as the bad, a process that must be viewed through the lens of reconciliation.
“The purpose of this engagement is not, as you know, to erase history or to remove historic elements, but to foster conversations that explore really hard questions,” Campbell said.
“They can identify gaps and help us to better build our history.”

The city has been asking for public input with its “Your Stories, Our Histories” project, and from that, Campbell says, a number of different themes have emerged, like adding to our history and thinking about how to include new viewpoints and voices.

There are a lot of calls for inclusion, education and a lot of calls for understanding the past, but also the impacts of the past on the present. Guy Freedman is president and senior partner with First Peoples Group, whose website bills it as the most trusted Indigenous advisory firm in Canada.
“What we talk about in the company that I head up is re-confederation or real confederation,” Freedman said. “How do we be inclusive to all of the people that are here now that really didn’t have a part in the thinking way back then?”

As for the immediate future, the city would like more public engagement. A panel discussion with take place September 17, while October 16 and 17 will bring community workshops.
Meanwhile, a report will be sent to city council in the winter of 2020 with recommendations on how the city can better reflect the complete legacy of Sir John A. Macdonald.

Home Science & Hi-Tech Astronauts’ food may float around INSIDE their stomachs
Astronauts’ food may float around INSIDE their stomachs
It’s been nearly 20 years since the first permanent crew was sent to live 250 miles above Earth aboard the International Space Station.
And in that time, scientists have noticed a peculiar trend – astronauts just can’t seem to keep their weight up.
While many have suspected weight loss may just be an inevitable consequence of spaceflight, new research suggests the cause may be something more manageable.
According to the head of NASA’s nutritional biochemistry lab, astronauts’ food may essentially be floating inside them after they eat due to the microgravity conditions – and, this tricks the stomach into thinking it’s full.
Astronauts keep track of their every meal using an iPad app – but, the expert says they’re often still not eating enough. The issue may boil down to the body’s response to food in the weightless environment. Expedition 39 Commander Koichi Wakata is pictured
Figuring out how crews can maintain their body weight has long been a challenge, NASA’s Dr. Scott Smith told Popular Science.
Doing this not only requires eating enough food, but a rigorous exercise regime to keep their muscles working.
Astronauts keep track of their every meal using an iPad app – but, despite their self-reported intake, and insistence of feeling ‘fine,’ the expert says they’re often still not eating enough.
The issue may boil down to the body’s response to food in the weightless environment.
‘I think it’s that food doesn’t settle the same way it does on Earth, so that the stretching of your stomach – which sends the signal to your brain to say “you’re full, stop eating” – I think that gets triggered faster in weightlessness than it does on Earth,’ Smith told Popular Science.
According to the head of NASA’s nutritional biochemistry lab, astronauts’ food may essentially be floating inside them after they eat due to the microgravity conditions – and, this tricks the stomach into thinking it’s full. NASA’s Scott Kelly and cosmonaut Mikhail Kornieko are pictured
‘We tell crew members all the time, you need to be getting enough to eat,’ Smith said.
‘If you think you’re eating enough and we’re telling you you’re not, or the app is telling you that you’re not getting enough calories, you need to push more in.
‘Even though your brain is telling you you’re full you have to keep going.’
The human body experiences all sorts of strange phenomena as a result of microgravity – most of which scientists are still working to understand.
Results from NASA’s Twins Study have begun to offer a deeper look into the complex processes.
It’s been nearly 20 years since the first permanent crew was sent to live 250 miles above Earth aboard the ISS. And, scientists have noticed a peculiar trend – astronauts just can’t seem to keep their weight up. ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano, Expedition 36 flight engineer, is pictured
The study tracked the changes seen in now-retired astronaut Scott Kelly, who lived aboard the ISS for 340 days, compared with his twin brother, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, who remained home during that same period.
And, preliminary results suggest the body responds immediately to the space environment, with gene expression acting ‘like fireworks taking off’ to switch thousands of genes on and off.
A separate study conducted on Russian cosmonauts revealed that space flight causes the immune system to ‘turn on all possible defense systems’ in the face of the unfamiliar threat, leading to significant changes all throughout the human body, from the organs down to the tissues and cells.
Scientists also know spaceflight affects astronauts’ muscles and bones.
But, just how this plays out is not entirely clear yet.
A recent simulation by the VCU School of Engineering revealed radiation alone may not have an effect on muscle loss; it does, however, amplify the negative effects on the bones.
It does, however, make the bone more sensitive to the effects of microgravity.

Stories from the Great Outdoors
This hike has it all. To me, it was the highlight of our days in Ireland. Who doesn’t like a sensibly marked trail ascending in beautiful scenery towards an ancient promontory fort seeped in myth? If the weather is on your side, it’s possible to continue hiking the unmarked trail to Caherconree Mountain top – or across the mountains towards Derrymore on the other side, a hike that will connect you to the Dingle Way. When we closed in on the fort, my two daughters and I were suddenly enveloped in fog, wind and rain. We climbed into our Jerven Bag shelter instead of continuing forward, but it didn’t matter one bit. We had a wonderful time, and that’s partly what makes this hike so great – there are so many possibilities for success!
The highest promontory fort in Ireland
After hundreds of years of looting, all that remains of Caherconree fort, or Cú Roí mac Dáire in Irish, is a triangle composed of a 107 meters long stone wall, 4 meters thick and 3meters at its highest point. Still, this is a gorgeous target for a hike – even if you’re hit by fog.
Lunch at the fort with my best friend, the Jerven Bag - and my glorious girls
Caherconree is a promontory fort – which means that it has a wall facing the slopes of the mountain – and on the other side there’s nothing but cliffs. At 683 meters, Caherconree is the highest promontory fort in Ireland.
To me the cliffs makes the fort an embodiment of the idea of fighting till death. On the upside, there are less walls to defend – on the downside… Well, it goes down on all two out of three sides, actually.
You’re said to be able to see over 100 kilometres from the fort on a clear day, but you don’t need wide views to have an experience when you come face to face by the old boulders supposedly placed there by giants. The mist that creeped around us did nothing but enhance the magic of the place as we sat down to grab some lunch and hide from the howling wind.
Anicient isn't hard to imagine in Ireland
The Irish language facilitates trailing off into historical and mythical imagination. Listen to the names connected to Caherconree - Elves and gnomes will come alive. It smells of moss and lichen and makes me think of water dripping into black pools where the shapeshifting Nokken plays his violin (I know – Nokken is Skandinavian, but so am I). It just sounds so old – in a very good way. I was in not at all surprised when I discovered it’s the oldest language still in daily use in Europe.
Cú Roí, Cú Chulainn and Blathnát – and Ferchertne
Cú Roí, whom the fort is named after, is a creature of Irish mythology dating back to the 8th-century and onwards. His fort is one of the oldest place names found in Irish literature and dated to the Iron Ages.
Cú Roí was a superhuman warlord and a master of disguise. I'm positive he wore a long and dark cape. Not only was his fort protected by the cliffs, but also by his magical powers, as Cú Roí would spin the fort during night to hide the entrance from attack. What a cool trick!
After a plunder in Scotland where he didn’t get his share, Cú Roí got moody. He kidnapped the beautiful Blathnát, the ginger daughter of a Scottish king, along with some cattle and took her to the fort where he married her. Cattle was a measure of wealth in the warrior society, but a good woman could obviously also make do (so glad not to be a woman of the ancient Celts).
Blathnát, however, was a cunning woman who betrayed her husband to be rescued by her lover Cú Chulainn (please applaud the display of resourcefulness in times of distress). Cú Chulainn killed Cú Roí, but later Cú Roí's poet Ferchertne threw both himself and Blathnát from a cliff in revenge.
Come on – why does Ferchertne mix himself up with all this? Not a happy ending!
The legend of Cú Roí might have had much older origins, as these stories often were transmitted orally for centuries before being written down. His name is also found in Belgian tales from the 11th century – hinting that he had been a recognisable character for some time at that point. Word got around – but not as fast as in the days of Facebook.
A landscape that matches the tales...
The hike starts and stops southwest of the fort, at a small carpark along the Castlemaine Road south of Camp, or you can get someone to drive you to the southern carpark and hike to Derrymore on the northern side of the mountains (7 km). From Derrymore you’ll have to arrange further transportation and buses only seem to run twice a week… Let me know if you figure out a good way to do it without two cars and two drivers!
Starting out in good visibility
To the fort and back it’s 4 kilometres of climbing first up and then down – it’s a short and effective ascent and descent. The lower part was boggy and very wet in February, but as we got higher and closer to the fort, the cover got harder.
Fog coming in fast!
Suddenly our visual world became very small...
Be aware that the marked route ends at the fort and that fog seems to be everyday business up at Caherconree. We started out in good visibility, with at least some blue sky, but suddenly fog came running up the mountain side fast as hell. Bring a map and compass if you consider going all the way to Derrymore or continuing to and from the top of Caherconree Mountain (825 metres / 8 km hike back and forth).
When we started out on our hike, I couldn’t find any markings leading to the fort, only Dingle Way-markings. After a little while I figured out why: After an all to quick look at the route description, I had parked the car where the trail ends in Derrymore, resulting in a little prehike in the opposite direction.
Testing the Dingle Way...
It’s entirely possible to go in this direction, but the scenery is even more remote and majestic from the southern side – in addition to the route being marked with poles. A totally embarrassing mistake on my part, but as I’ve got the best hiking buddies in the world AND we had just discovered a dead sheep, everybody was still happy when we trotted back towards the car to find the right location.
Sheep everywhere - dead and alive...
You are supposed to drive for quite a bit on a narrow road going south from Camp. One of the route planners told me it was a ten minutes’ drive from Tralee. I’d add about ten minutes more to that – and be prepared that sheep might block the way. You’re at the right place when it looks like this:
Thick fog on marked route – what to do?
If visibility gets too poor for you to see from one mark to the other, I’ve got some useful instructions for you. All you need, is not to be completely alone: While one of you stays at a mark, another person walks ahead until he or she spots the next mark. Then the person who waited walks up to the person who can see the mark, and you continue together until you’re at the next mark. Repeat until you’re home free and can make yourself a cup of hot something.
Who can spot the next pole?

Professional? BARF.
Chicago Cubs 37,462 followers on Google+ (baaaaah baaaaahh baaaaaahhh)
The Chicago Cubs are a PROFESSIONAL baseball team located in Chicago, Illinois, USA. They are members of the Central Division of Major League Baseball’s National League. Wikipedia
Arena/Stadium: Wrigley Field
Manager: Rick Renteria
World Series championships: 1908, 1907
Mascots: Clark, Clark the Cub
Former names: Chicago Orphans, Chicago Colts, Chicago White Stockings
“The Cubs are thrilled to welcome Clark as the team’s official mascot,” said Alison Miller, senior director of marketing. “Clark is a young, friendly Cub who can’t wait to interact with our other young Cubs fans. He’ll be a welcoming presence for families at Wrigley Field and an excellent ambassador for the team in the community.”
ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC.
Training camp starts this week. Thoughts?
This guy is a tool.
“I think next, we should have monkeys as referees in the preseason just as an experiment.”
When Adam Silver talked about putting advertisements on jerseys last year, I was wondering what was up with this ass clown. Now, I truly believe that Silver is just as much as an idiot as David Stern is.
In a report by various sources, including the Tribune, Silver said he has considered adding a “mid-season tournament”. Right, like the 82-game season and playoffs that last two months with many days off between games isn’t enough basketball.
There is a thing called saturation meaning too much of something could be a bad thing. You saw it with the another idiotic commissioner in Roger Goodell wanting to add football games nearly every night and extending the season by two games. Fuck that guy too.
In addition, the rich just keep getting richer and in all sports too. First, the NFL continues to be asinine by starting to put playoff games on cable. Two games of the Stanley Cup Final have always been on cable in the United States. And now, Silver wants to negotiate a new TV deal two years before the current one is up. With that, they are discussing to split up the NBA Finals between ABC and TNT.
They say it’s because they are “contending with a changing landscape with TV vs. internet”. In reality, these fuckers are so damn greedy, they’ll do anything for a few extra bucks.
Note to Adam Silver and every other commissioner: Go drink battery acid.
Hello guv’nor!
Well well….
“Like meth, only more addictive.”
As I am sure most of you WRASSLIN’ fans are aware of, WWE Network is free without any strings for this week. I would have to say that this is a good move on Vince McMahon’s part because all you need is an email address and to see what the Network is all about.
In the first two days of this free stream, I haven’t done much at work.
This thing is pretty cool. I fear though, like the person who quoted it as more addictive than meth, that if I were to subscribe for the six months, I would literally get nothing done at work. My lawn would never get mowed. My dishes would never be washed. I would turn on my laptop or Playstation 4 and just watch it all day. That’s how it is. It’s not just the free pay-per-views or the throwback shows that they have during the afternoon. The original programming is pretty good as well with the Countdown and WrestleMania Rewinds. There are real-life documentaries and stories that the wrestlers tell (It’s steal real to me damnit!).
And for you old folks out there, WWE Network has started adding the special events at Madison Square Garden and Nassau Coliseum in the 1980’s. In addition, quite a few epsidoes from Saturday Night’s Main Event in the 1980’s are on here too. And don’t forget probably one of the best matches from that decade with Savage vs. Steamboat at Wrestlemania. The last event that I really enjoyed was Summerslam 1994 which was the first event held at the United Center. Walter Payton and his son were in Scott Hall’s corner as he won the Intercontinental Championship against Diesel.
It’s absolutely worth the $10 a month. With the streaming sites that I currently use, the pay-per-views aren’t in the best quality when streaming and only the original shows are on-demand. Yes, it’s still free for that but the Network has, of course, way more content. I think it’s really neat to see myself at 15 years old cheering on Hulk Hogan as he made his return with the nWo in Rockford on an old episode of Smackdown! compared to the streaming site where I can barely see myself because of the quality.
So if you get it, consider yourself warned. You will be hooked.
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Gee whiz, my team stinks.
After 106 years of futility, who gives a crap about the current Chicago Cubs?

New to the Zoo: Food, LEGOS, and the Return of the Zoo Key
You’ve probably all heard by now- some exciting, new things are now at the Philadelphia Zoo. So, here’s a quick recap courtesy of Thursday morning’s media preview and ribbon cutting of everything you and your family can discover this season at America’s oldest zoo.
1. Urban Green
This open-air food court is the perfect spot for a break from exploring the zoo. Three permanent food trucks will offer up food to please all palates. Root to Leaf features salads, the Fry Bowl has various waffle fry dishes covered in your favorite toppings, and Pressed has delicious grilled sandwiches (you must try the butternut squash and bacon). Kids menu options are available too!
There’s plenty of outdoor seating, places for the kids to play and run, a vertical farm for growing local and sustainable food for the zoo’s animals, and a rotating menu of craft beers and wine.
2. Creatures of Habitat
Who doesn’t like LEGOS? Creatures of Habitat highlights the zoo’s role in protecting wildlife via elaborate LEGO creations of animals that are commonly seen in zoos. The life-size LEGO sculptures, by artist Sean Kenney, help tell visitors about the issues these animals are facing around the world and what is being done to save them. Kenney is one of only seven American LEGO certified professional artisans in the world. His work is displayed at the Philadelphia Zoo via 12 exhibits including an African lion, the rain forest, a diamond-backed terrapin, a polar bear and so many more. These works of art must be seen in person.
3. The Return of the Zoo Key
The stories told through the Creatures of Habitats exhibit could not be made possible without the return of the beloved Zoo Key. Look for the audio book located at each sculpture as well as in other areas throughout the Zoo. Visitors can “unlock” stories about the animals living at the zoo by inserting their keys into the various audio books. Listen as animal keepers will tell you more about what’s in front of you! Zoo Keys are available for purchase in the gift shop for $3 and they are a wonderful keepsake. People who may still own a Zoo Key from way back when will be happy to know they are still completely functional.
For more information on the new Urban Green and Creatures of Habitat, visit the zoo’s website here.
A few more photos from today’s Zoo adventures. Thanks to the Zoo and Aversa PR for a great event!

Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University
Web Page: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/gsoc/Main_Page
The Berkman Center's mission is to explore and understand cyberspace; to study its development, dynamics, norms, and standards; and to assess the need or lack thereof for laws and sanctions. We are a research center, premised on the observation that what we seek to learn is not already recorded. Our method is to build out into cyberspace, record data as we go, self-study, and share. Our mode is entrepreneurial nonprofit. Our faculty, fellows, students, and affiliates engage with a wide spectrum of Net issues, including governance, privacy, intellectual property, antitrust, content control, and electronic commerce. Our diverse research interests cohere in a common understanding of the Internet as a social and political space where constraints upon inhabitants are determined not only through the traditional application of law, but, more subtly, through technical architecture ("code").
A Distributed Architecture to Stream Twitter and Sina Weibo Microblog Posts This project comprises two parts. For the first third of the summer, I will implement a core architecture for streaming Twitter data, detecting Tweets related to censorship, and extracting the URLs or domain names that are censored. For the remaining two-thirds of the summer, I will focus on three extension goals. First, I will develop a semi-automated learning algorithm that updates the follow and track parameters on each stream on a daily basis in order to capture more censorship-related Tweets. Second, I will duplicate the Twitter architecture for Sina Weibo. I can implement the technical model quickly, but I will need to consult language experts to ensure that I sample the microblog stream correctly. Third, I will extend Herdict's goal of crowdsourcing censorship monitoring by developing a web form similar to the Herdict Reporter test form, which allows users to test whether sites are censored in their region. The technology stack includes Python, MongoDB, Redis, and Ruby on Rails.
An examination of how linkage networks in media sites predicts readership levels. My project consists of three parts. The first part of this project adds link tracking between news sites, and the second part adds network visualization and analysis to the media cloud code. After programming these, I will create code allowing for longitudinal analysis of how hyperlink networks predict changes in readership trends of various news sites. Examining this will allow for descriptive analysis of how html linked networks change, and give insight as to why some blogs and news sites become more popular over time.

Interface 3D Model Inputs via Kinect to Zeega This project aims at developing a system with a web interface which can be used to create 3D models of various objects via Kinect and interface them to Zeega through its API. 1) Developing an intuitive web interface with instructions to use the kinect 2)Scanning of objects via kinect to create 3D models in the form of .ply/.png files 3)Output 3D model to MeshLab for cleaning up of mesh and develop into a robust manipulable file 4)The resulting output file will be sent to the web interface which in turn will be exposed to Zeega via its API
Media Cloud multi-language support via plug-in infrastructure, plus an automatic stemmer and a stopword list generator I propose adding multi-language support to Media Cloud in such a way that the new languages (French, German, ...) could be added as plug-ins (adding a new language would not involve further modifications to the core code). Additionally, the process of adding a language would also be made simpler by providing automatic (experimental) stopword list and stemmer generators.
Paper Machines My proposal for Paper Machines seeks to render visible the hidden connections within a large textual corpus by interweaving and extending pre-existing textual analysis programs and methodologies. I aim not only to produce scripts and visualizations tailored to Dr. Guldi's data set, but also to develop ways of working that will be useful to other scholars (including myself) interested in visualization as an aid to analysis.

Occupational Therapy: Viewpoint of a family user
Author: Imma Marquès, mother of Miquel Ávalos, user of the Occupational Center Montilivi.
Miquel was born in September 1975, amid the air of renewal and deep political and social reforms that society was living in that era.
He came loaded with enthusiasm that he himself, with his arrival, scattered all the family. She was small, with white skin, blue eyes and small and delicate factions, and soon she changed the moixí hair by a smooth, light golden golden hair. He was a child made person. At that time we were living together with grandparents, aunt Susi and uncle Narcís. So, from a very young age, in Miquel, he was a pampered child, because in the family there was still no baby anymore, and that is why parents, very young, and children tired of dressing it up, Do it, and make it all sorts of festoons.
He grew up until two years with all normality; At least that's what his pediatrician was saying, because the weight and motor functions corresponded to the standard data that doctors use to track them. So he walked very soon, although he already showed the first difficulties in building words and then phrases. The first two years he attended the kindergarten, although for a few hours, and the third one took me to school, because at that time, as a teacher, in the classroom I had the Small
I remember that although at three years I drew giant boats with all the details, in return it continued to show serious speech difficulties, which increased our concern for its evolutionary and cognitive development. No pediatrician, nor children's psychiatry, to whom we went to look up curious aspects of his personality - such as, for example, that at four years he drew grotesque and fantasy figures always in black and gray tones - he gave any importance to these facts. The diagnosis was always the same: the child was slower.
With a lot of help from home and from outside, in Miquel he learned to read and write, he attended primary school, which then reached up to eighth, and I can say that at his age he had well-established basic lessons. But in his social life at school as well as outside, he showed problems of adaptation with peers both in the game and in the typical and typical activities of the age. The different psychologists and professionals we consulted during their school career did not know how to give us another response, or any other diagnosis than the slowest maturation process.
In Miquel it showed good aptitudes in the artistic field and spent many hours drawing and painting, and later showed skills for ceramics. But it became great and, despite the efforts made by parents and the anguish that our future in general produced us, we found, again and again, that there was no place in society to locate a boy of his Features and profile.
A few years ago, he was diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum and it is true that he came together with many of his indicators that are characteristic of this anomaly. He also attended the occupational center of the Ramon Noguera Foundation several years ago, where they do very varied activities so that all the boys and girls are integrated and find their place according to their abilities. Miquel gets up every day soon to go there, and the most important thing is that he is happy. At home he likes to collaborate on simple tasks and he also likes to go and make his grandfather company great and spend many hours alone.
At the foundation, you can develop, together with your colleagues, the points of your personality that make you a beloved boy in the family and the neighborhood, such as your kindness, your smile, and the generosity you have with Theirs and with everyone.

An undergraduate laboratory exercise is described to demonstrate the biochemical applications of electron paramagnetic resonance EPR spectroscopy.
The β93 cysteine residue of hemoglobin is labeled by the covalent binding of 3-maleimido-proxyl 5-MSL and 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-oxyl-3-methyl methanethiosulfonate MTSLrespectively.
The excess spin label is removed by gel-exclusion chromatography.
Changes in the mobility of the reporter groups attached to the protein are monitored by EPR spectroscopy.
While the spectral parameters of the rigidly attached 5-MSL provide information on the rotation of the whole spin labeled protein, MTSL bound by a more flexible linkage describes the local environment of the cysteine residue in the interior of the protein structure.
Students can study the known crystal structure of hemoglobin in comparison to the results they obtain by analyzing the EPR spectra.
Overall, the exercise introduces them to laboratory techniques such as protein labeling, gel filtration, EPR spectroscopy, as well as familiarizes them with the online Protein Data Bank as a research resource and PyMOL software as a structure visualization tool.
It is a particularly sensitive measure of the spin state of ferric Hbs which in turn can identify whether a globin is in " pentacoordinate " or " hexacoordinate " state.
Hemoglobins with diverse characteristics have been identified in all kingdoms of life.
Their ubiquitous presence indicates that these proteins play important roles in physiology, though function for all hemoglobins are not yet established with certainty.
Their physiological electron spin resonance spectroscopy labeling in peptide and protein analysis may depend on their ability to bind ligands, which in turn is dictated by their heme chemistry.
However, we have an incomplete understanding of the mechanism of ligand binding for these newly discovered hemoglobins and the measurement of their kinetic parameters depend on their coordination at the heme iron.
To gain insights into their functional role, it is important to categorize the new hemoglobins into either penta- or hexa-coordinated varieties.
We demonstrate that simple pH titration and absorbance measurements can determine the coordination state of heme iron atom in ferric hemoglobins, thus providing unambiguous information about the classification of new globins.
This method is rapid, sensitive and requires low concentration of protein.
Penta- and hexa-coordinate hemoglobins displayed distinct pH titration profiles as observed in a variety of hemoglobins.
The pentacoordinate distal histidine mutant proteins of hexacoordinate hemoglobins and ligand-bound hexacoordinate forms of pentacoordinate hemoglobins reverse the pH titration profiles, thus validating the sensitivity of this spectroscopic technique.
To facilitate learning advanced instrumental techniques, essential tools for visualizing biomaterials, a simple and versatile laboratory exercise demonstrating the use of Atomic Force Microscopy AFM in biomedical applications was developed.
In this experiment, the morphology of heat-denatured and amyloid-type aggregates formed from a low-cost and well-characterized model protein, hen egg white lysozyme HEWLare compared.
Structural differences between the amorphous and ordered particles are quantified using ImageJ for the analysis of AFM images as a postlaboratory assignment.
The laboratory exercise allows the direct observation of changes in the protein structure and helps students to understand the operation of AFM, as well as protein folding and misfolding related to many physiological and pathological processes.
The described protocol stands alone, but also fits well into a larger module on protein structure and function or microscopic techniques electron spin resonance spectroscopy labeling in peptide and protein analysis it can be linked easily to existing laboratory exercises on these topics.
It can be easily adapted to the upper level undergraduate laboratory courses with limited lab hours as well as graduate level courses to improve students' research skills.

Significance: Balanced blood homeostasis and controlled cell migration requires coordination between serine proteases, serpins, and cofactors.
These ligands form noncovalent complexes, which influence the outcome of protease inhibition and associated physiological processes.
This study reveals differences in binding via changes in solvent accessibility and dynamics within these complexes that can be exploited to develop more specific drugs in the treatment of diseases associated with unbalanced serpin activity.
To mechanistically study and model the effect of lipids, either from food or self-emulsifying drug delivery systems SEDDSon drug transport in the intestinal lumen.
Rate constants for digestion, permeability of emulsion droplets, and partition coefficients in micellar and oil phases were measured, and used to numerically solve the developed model.
Strong influence of lipid digestion on drug release from SEDDS and solid drug dissolution into food-associated lipid emulsion was observed and predicted by the developed model.
Ninety minutes after introduction of SEDDS, there was 9% and 70% drug release in the absence and presence of digestion, respectively.
However, overall drug dissolution in the presence of food-associated lipids occurred over a longer period than without digestion.
A systems-based mechanistic model incorporating simultaneous dynamic processes occurring upon dosing of drug with lipids enabled prediction of aqueous drug concentration profile.
This model, once incorporated with a pharmacokinetic model considering processes of drug absorption and drug lymphatic transport in the presence of lipids, could be 18 and casinos in useful for quantitative prediction of impact of lipids on bioavailability of drugs.
Fluorescence spectroscopy is a widely used technique in biophysical studies.
One of the strategies frequently used consists of labeling biomolecules with fluorescent probes, which have distinctive photophysical properties.
This methodology allows the study of a wide variety of structural features of the biomolecule.
We describe a simple laboratory activity for undergraduate Biophysical Chemistry learn more here />The experimental work includes two activities: labeling BSA with dansyl chloride and analyzing the resulting absorption and fluorescence spectra.
The discussion of these activities helps students to understand the basis of fluorescence spectroscopy with emphasis in the application to biological systems.
Electron spin resonance ESR is a powerful analytical tool used in protein and peptide biochemistry.
It is used in the determination of secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein structure and associated conformational changes.
Protein dynamics and the relative orientation of protein components in ordered systems can also be measured.
The majority of proteins do not contain unpaired electrons whose spin transitions give rise to an ESR signal, hence necessitating the use of extrinsic probes called spin labels.
Spin labels are nitroxide derivatives with a stable unpaired electron and a functional group for specific attachment to the protein covalent or as a ligand.
The most popular covalent sites are cysteine residues, which, if necessary, can be introduced into the protein structure using molecular biology techniques.
Conventional electron paramagnetic resonance EPR spectra of lipids that are spin-labelled close to the terminal methyl end of the acyl chains are able to resolve the lipids directly contacting the protein from those in the fluid bilayer regions of the membrane.
This allows determination of both the stoichiometry of lipid-protein interaction i.
Spin-label Electron spin resonance spectroscopy labeling in peptide and protein analysis data are summarised for 20 or more different transmembrane peptides and proteins, and 7 distinct species of lipids.
Lineshape simulations of the two-component conventional spin-label EPR spectra allow estimation of the rate at which protein-associated lipids exchange with those in the bulk fluid regions of the membrane.
For lipids that do not display a selectivity for the protein, the intrinsic off-rates for exchange are in the region of 10 MHz: less than 10x slower than the rates of diffusive exchange in fluid lipid membranes.
Lipids with an affinity for the protein, relative to the background lipid, have off-rates for leaving the protein that are correspondingly slower.
Non-linear EPR, which depends on saturation of the spectrum at high radiation intensities, is optimally sensitive to dynamics on the timescale of spin-lattice relaxation, i.
Both progressive https://gsdonline.ru/and/casino-accepting-click-and-buy.html and saturation transfer EPR experiments provide definitive evidence that lipids at the protein interface are family fortunes ukgameshows on this timescale.
The electron spin resonance spectroscopy labeling in peptide and protein analysis of non-linear EPR to low frequencies of spin exchange also allows the location of spin-labelled membrane protein residues relative to those of spin-labelled lipids, in double-labelling experiments.
The purpose of this chapter is to provide information on the saturation-transfer spectroscopy.
Much useful information is obtained from the effects of motion of the probe on the electron spin resonance ESR spectrum.
Magnetic field modulation is nearly always employed in ESR spectroscopy to convert the magnetic resonance information to an audiofrequency well away from the very large amount of low frequency detector and source noise and convenient for narrow-band amplification.

The role of molecular size and membrane viscosity is discussed in determining rotational mobilities of proteins.
By comparing the measured rotational correlation times with the predictions of hydrodynamic models the aggregation states of transmembrane proteins is estimated.
On increasing the viscosity of the aqueous phase by polyols the viscous drag of the extramembranous segments electron spin resonance spectroscopy labeling in peptide and protein analysis proteins is increased and from systematic hydrodynamic measurements the size of the protruding segments can be estimated.
The role of slowed molecular diffusion is briefly discussed in the inhibition of enzymatic activity.
Site-directed spin labeling of proteins is experiencing a phase of rapid technical evolution, application and evaluation.
New strategies have been introduced for determining membrane protein topography, electrostatic potentials, the orientation of proteins at membrane surfaces and inter-residue distances.
New applications include studies of beta strands, structure mapping using spin-spin interactions, domain motions in soluble proteins and extensive structural analysis of a number of membrane and soluble proteins.
A 30-residue nitroxide scan encompassing a helical hairpin and an extended loop in soluble annexin 12 helices D and E in repeat 2; residues 134-163 has been analyzed in terms of nitroxide side chain mobility and accessibility to collision with paramagnetic reagents Pi.
Values of Pi for both O 2 and a Ni II metal complex NiEDDA are remarkably well correlated with the fractional solvent accessibility of the native side chains at the corresponding positions computed from the known crystal structure.
This result demonstrates the utility of Pi as an experimental measure of side chain accessibility in solution, as well as the lack of structural perturbation due to the presence of the nitroxide side chain.
The pattern of side chain mobility is also in excellent agreement with predictions from the crystal structure.
The results presented here extend the correlations between mobility and structure described in earlier work on other helical proteins, and suggest their generality.
The periodic dependence of Pi and mobility along the sequence of annexin 12 reveals the helical segments and their orientation in the fold, as expected for a nonperturbing nitroxide side chain.
However, these data do not distinguish the helix-loop-helix motif from a continuous helix, because immobilized side chains in the short loop sequence maintain the periodicity.
As shown here, the ratio of Pi values for O 2 and NiEDDA clearly delineates the loop region, due to size exclusion effects between the two reagents.
A new feature evident in a nitroxide scan through multiple secondary elements is a modulation of the basic Pi and mobility patterns along the sequence, apparently due to differences in helix packing and backbone motion.
Thus, in the short helix D, residues are consistently more mobile and accessible throughout the sequence compared to the residues in the longer, less-solvated and more ordered helix E.
Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis of 19 spin-labeled derivatives of the Alzheimer's amyloid beta Abeta peptide was used to reveal structural features of amyloid fibril formation.
In the fibril, extensive regions of the peptide show an in-register, parallel arrangement.
Based on the parallel arrangement and side chain mobility analysis we find the amyloid structure to be mostly ordered and specific, but we also identify more dynamic regions N and C termini and likely turn or bend regions around residues 23-26.
Despite their different aggregation properties and roles in disease, the two peptides, Abeta40 and Abeta42, homogeneously co-mix in amyloid fibrils suggesting that they possess the same structural architecture.
Site-directed spin labeling has become a popular biophysical tool for the characterization of protein structure, dynamics and conformational change.
This method is well suited and widely used to study small soluble proteins, membrane proteins and large protein complexes.
Recent advances in site-directed spin labeling methodology have occurred in two areas.
The first involves an understanding of the conformations and local dynamics of the spin-labeled sidechain, including the features of proteins that influence electron paramagnetic resonance lineshape.
The second advance is the application of pulse techniques to determine long-range distances and distance distributions in proteins.
During the past two years, these technical developments have been used to address several important problems concerning the molecular function of proteins.
Because of the enormous size of amyloid fibrils and their low tendency to form crystal lattices, it has been difficult to obtain high-resolution structural information on these aggregates.
Magnetic resonance methods, such as solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance EPR spectroscopy, are promising new technologies by which to obtain el racetrack and casino models.
This chapter will focus on the application of EPR spectroscopy to amyloids and other protein aggregates.
Site-directed spin labeling SDSLin combination with EPR spectroscopy, has been successfully used to study protein structure and the dynamics of soluble as well as membrane proteins.
Recent studies indicate that this strategy is also well suited for studying amyloid fibrils.
For example, an important outcome of the SDSL studies performed in our laboratory is that fibrils of amyloid beta, islet amyloid polypeptide, alpha-synuclein, and tau have their beta-strands aligned in an in-register, parallel fashion.
Future studies promise to yield molecular information about fibril topography and protofilament arrangement and can be extended to include oligomeric structures.

💰 Electron Spin Resonance in Studies of Membranes and Proteins | Science
One of the most useful applications of spin label EPR spectroscopy is the measurement of the dynamic mobility of molecules such as phospholipids, peptides, proteins, and drugs in biological systems, especially in membranes 8. In 1989, site‐directed spin label EPR spectroscopy (SDSL EPR) was established by Hubbell and quickly became a high resolution tool of structural biology.
The overall mobility of the nitroxide spin label attached to the protein or peptide is a superposition of the contributions from the motion of the label relative to the peptide backbone, fluctuations of the α-carbon backbone, and the rotational motion of the entire protein or peptide. Under experimental conditions, these motions can be isolated from the EPR spectrum.

The Woods by Darren Rigo
The Main Gallery . March 12 – April 14, 2015
Opening Reception: March 12, from 7 pm – 10 pm
Harcourt House Artist Run Centre, 3rd floor, 10215 – 112 St, Edmonton
Rigo’s work focuses on childhood memories from growing up in the countryside. While the work plays with ideas from his childhood imagination, it also considers the relationship between man and nature. The lot in which Rigo grew up was a hundred-acre parcel of land belonging to his grandfather. It was more of a weed lot than a farm, there were no animals and the fields were left untended for years before Rigo was born. As a child Rigo would explore the woods and swamps pretending he was on a quest for a treasure, a lost civilization or on an odyssey home. He would pretended that the trees were a giant to fight, a series of stones became the only way across a raging river. A hunter’s shelter became a hermit’s camp. He always persevered in the end and made it home for dinner.
Darren Rigo’s grandfather, having grown up in the depression, was a bit of a hoarder. The barn on our farm was his cache. It was filled with just about anything he found a good deal on: metres of fire hose, a long wooden ladder, a wine press. But by far what he had the most of was his endless boxes scrap fabric and string. Tucked in the corner of the barn there was a loom and on it he would weave these scraps into colourful rugs. Rigo would visit him while he was working and he would tell Rigo about his plans for what he could do with all this stuff or his own theories about the farm: how something was buried in the hill east of the house by an ancient civilization, or how the skating pond was formed by a huge meteor.

Objective and Setting Associations between prenatal famine and coronary artery disease (CAD) have been examined before with inconsistent results. For further evaluation, we examined multiple cardiac risk markers in adult men and women with prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine of 1944–5.
Design Birth cohort study of 407 men and women with prenatal famine exposure, 344 born before or after the famine as time controls, and 324 unexposed siblings as family controls. Study subjects underwent standardised interviews and clinical examinations at age approximately 58 years.
Outcome Measures CAD events from medical history and medical and electrocardiographic (ECG) markers of CAD risk, including 10-year (Framingham) estimates for myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease death, major and minor ECG abnormalities, ECG estimates of left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular mass, cardiac autonomic neuropathy measures including the QT index, resting heart rate, heart rate variability from subsequent N–N intervals, and ECG markers of minor T-wave abnormalities, changes in QRS/T frontal plane angle and ST-segment.
Results No increase was seen in CAD risk (HR 1.17; 95% CI 0.73 to 1.88), Framingham risk (OR 1.14; 95% CI 0.90 to 1.44) or in ECG outcomes, adjusting for age and sex. Left ventricular mass estimated with body size was elevated by 3.78 g (95% CI 0.91 to 6.64) after prenatal famine, but showed a 0.65 g decrease (95% CI −2.63 to 1.34) when adjusted for body mass index.
Conclusions We see no relation between prenatal famine and adult CAD, Framingham risk, or any ECG predictors of increased cardiac disease risk.

Hackers steal $5 million from Ryanair’s bank account
All of us dread the prospect of having our personal bank accounts hacked.
But imagine what it must be like for a company to have its business bank account plundered by hackers for millions of dollars?
According to reports, controversial budget airline Ryanair has fallen victim to hackers who managed to steal €4.6 million (almost US $5 million) via a fraudulent electronic transfer to a Chinese bank last week.
The Irish Times reports that Ryanair uses dollars to buy fuel for its fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft, and it is believed that these were the funds which the hackers were able to gain access too. Presumably large amounts of cash are spent purchasing fuel from such accounts, and that’s why no alarm was raised as 4.6 million was transferred from the account.
Whether, of course, large payments for fuel is often made via Chinese banks is information that I’m not privy too – but apparently that’s where at a least one bank transfer did end up going.
Who was behind the assault on Ryanair’s bank account is currently a matter of pure speculation. Just because a Chinese bank was involved does not necessarily mean that Chinese criminals were behind the attack.
Additionally, no details of how the hack was perpetrated have been made public, although in a statement the airline says that it has taken steps to prevent a reoccurrence:
“Ryanair confirms that it has investigated a fraudulent electronic transfer via a Chinese bank last week. The airline has been working with its banks and the relevant authorities and understands that the funds – less than $5 million – have now been frozen. The airline expects these funds to be repaid shortly, and has taken steps to ensure that this type of transfer cannot recur.”
Earlier this month, IBM security researchers published details of a criminal campaign dubbed “Dyre Wolf” that successfully stole more than $1 million from targeted businesses. In that campaign, hackers infected workers’ computers with malware and tricked them into ringing a live phone operator (working for the gang) who could socially engineer credentials and wire large sums of money out of the business’s account.
Although a fairly crude technique, it does successfully circumvent commonly-used defences such as two-factor authentication.
Of course, it’s not known if this was the technique used by the criminals who attacked Ryanair.
Personally I think it’s a shame that Ryanair hasn’t been able shed more light on the details of how the hack might have occurred, or what steps it might have taken to prevent it from happening again. After all, that would no doubt be information which could prove useful to other organisations which wish to protect themselves from similar criminal activity.
After all, if the airline has been able to fix the problem so quickly it would presumably be simple for other organisations to make sure that they were taking similar precautions or proactive steps to avoid falling to the same fate.
Ryanair became aware of the fraud on Friday, and Dublin’s Criminal Assets Bureau has been working with its counterparts in Asia to try to recover the money.

While the “Dyre Wolf” malware scenario is possible, my experience is that the current method is spear phishing of someone who presumably would have bank transfer authority with an email purportedly from a senior executive of the organization. The MO is to get the target to believe that they are helping facilitate a very confidential transaction that will be handled through a third party. Once the victim is hooked, the third party makes an initial email contact, followed by telephone calls to push the victim along to make the transaction. Wire instructions are then provided (generally to Chinese banks). If the initial transfer is successful, the third party may make another attempt to get another “installment” for the “transaction”. It’s all social engineering, with the only real technology aspect being either a spoofed email address or a newly registered domain name similar to the victim company’s domain. The criminals may also utilize spoofed cellular numbers.
Danny Zeegers says:
and this is only the top of the iceberg. Many companies do more efforts in hidding they lost money being hacked then creating public awareness posting their story in the news. The new titanic anno 2015 would have hit the iceberg due to missing multifactor authentication on the warning app and so being hacked….
But is it really “stealing” if you knowingly wire them the money? Seems more like fraud or something to me…..
member says:
So if the funds got frozen, did the hackers succesfully steal them in the end or not ?
Why is RyanAir a ‘controversial’ airline?

Best joke ever – the art of making & taking jokes
By Humour Sapiens / May 29, 2018
We Indians take offence, whenever we get an opportunity! But it takes a lot to go there, stand in front of intimidating or ready-to-take-offence audience and make them laugh, with or without joke.
What makes it even tougher is deciphering people’s sense of humor. It’s complicated! Youngsters like mean jokes, while the older lot can even laugh on forwarded SMS jokes from 2003.
But what makes a joke good?
What makes a stand-up comic good?
See, first of all, you don’t have to be unbelievably rigid, physically and appear confident and happy. Believe in the funniness of your joke. If they trust that you’re going to make them laugh, they will laugh.
Second of all, if they are a bummer, and still don’t, it is suggested that you hire the girl who tickles Siddhu to laugh at non-funny jokes.
Third of all, there’s a difference between being a fun person and being funny.
The toughest part about it is originality. Since jokes are mostly like mistakes, someone has already done it before you.
I’m no comedian but I know standing on a stage all by yourself with the sole aim to make people laugh is a tough cookie. Great artists make it look easy. They know how to make a joke, they are good at taking a joke.
For the rest of us, who are either too lazy or too incapable for stand-up comedy, how about sit-down tragedy?

A push for decriminalisation and harm reduction approaches to methamphetamine in Thailand
Поделитесь этой страницей
By Patcharavalan Akbar
By Gloria LaiRegional Director, Asia
On the 5th and 6th January in Thailand, the Royal Initiative of Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitityabha, Kamlangjai Project (also known as the Inspire Project), hosted a two-day conference to raise awareness on the effectiveness of drug control measures, under the title “Drug Education (Methamphetamine): Social Skills for Harm Reduction”. Dr. Carl Hart was the keynote speaker and a Thai translation of his book High Price was disseminated. Participants included Thai officials from health, justice and drug control agencies, academics and civil society representatives from Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Discussions focused on more effective responses to the high rates of methamphetamine use in Thailand, including options for solving the problem of overcrowded prisons (about 70% of people in prisons are held for drug offences) such as the decriminalisation of drug use and harm reduction measures. The conference opened with a film that featured Dr. Hart and his book, which can be viewed at this link.
The new Justice Minister Suwaphan Tanyuvardhana, supported the view that Thailand should adopt an integrated approach to tackle the problems relating drug use and dependence. However his main concern was that legal reforms alone were not enough, and social measures, appropriate to the Thai context, were also needed to help curb the impacts of drug use and dependence on communities. The former Justice Minister General Paiboon Koomchaya, now appointed as a Privy Councillor to the new King of Thailand, made his remarks on a personal basis only. He had pushed strongly for drug policy reform during his time as Minister of Justice, calling for a shift from a punitive to health-based approach to people who use drugs and proportionate penalties to reduce prison overcrowding. He stated that the guidelines and framework of drug policy reform in Thailand has become very clear, and urged officials to put them into action with an integrated approach supported by all stakeholders.
Dr. Hart spoke strongly about the need for education about drugs to be based on scientific evidence rather than anecdotal information which is often misleading. He encouraged Thai officials to not be afraid to change and implement reforms, highlighting the huge mistakes which have been made with existing drug policies. Many people are suffering for those mistakes. A debate followed which encapsulated the cautiousness of Thai policymakers. Even on the issue of harm reduction (a policy which the government has discussed for many years and a national policy was adopted in 2014) remained controversial for some participants who emphasised that the prevention approach should first take place in the Thai context before jumping into the harm reduction approach. Many academics and health professionals expressed their concerns over needing to “learn how to walk before we can run” as the harm reduction might not be -sustainable if they do not learn how to do prevention well first. Gloria Lai, senior policy officer for IDPC, based in Bangkok, served as a respondent to Dr. Hart’s presentation, and highlighted the need to ensure that proposed reforms can actually reduce punitive measures faced by people who use drugs, including measures such as forced urine testing.
In terms of legal reform, the National Legislative Assembly has approved the draft revised drug law (Narcotic Bill (Vol. 6) 2016) which includes amendments relating to the re-scheduling of methamphetamine, resulting in reduced penalties for the manufacture, import, export and possession of the substances and permitting research to be conducted on medical use. This is a major reform of drug policy in Thailand, and as described by the Justice Minister, one of the most important moments in the history of the criminal justice system in the country.
The final half-day of the conference was focussed on an analysis of decriminalisation models in Switzerland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Germany and the Netherland, along with recommendations for Thailand presented by civil society advocates Verapun Ngamee of Ozone Foundation and Pascal Tanguay (formerly of PSI Thailand). While the Kamlangjai Project, and to some extent the former Justice Minister, advocate strongly for significant policy reforms such as decriminalisation and harm reduction, it remains to be seen whether there will be solid support amongst Thai policymakers for removing criminalisation and punishment for people who use drugs, and for harm reduction.

Coronary Artery Disease and Stable Angina
Coronary Artery Disease and Stable Angina is a topic covered in the 5-Minute Clinical Consult.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) refers to the atherosclerotic narrowing of the epicardial coronary arteries. It may manifest insidiously as angina pectoris or as an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Stable angina is a chest discomfort due to myocardial ischemia that is predictably reproducible at a certain level of exertion or emotional stress.
The spectrum of ACS includes unstable angina (UA), non–ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). See chapters on ACS for further information.
Typical angina: exhibits three classical characteristics: (i) substernal chest pressure, pressure or heaviness that may radiate to the jaw, back, or arms and generally lasts from 2 to 15 minutes; (ii) occurs at a certain level of myocardial oxygen demand from exertion, emotional stress, or increased sympathetic tone; and (iii) relieved with rest or sublingual nitroglycerin
Atypical angina: exhibits two of the above typical characteristics
Noncardiac chest pain: exhibits ≤1 of the above typical characteristics
Anginal equivalent: Patients may present without chest discomfort but with nonspecific symptoms such as dyspnea, diaphoresis, fatigue, belching, nausea, light-headedness, or indigestion that occur with exertion or stress. Patients with diabetes mellitus, women, and the elderly may present with more atypical features as compared to the general population.
UA: anginal symptoms that are new or more frequent, more severe or occurring with lessening degrees of myocardial demand; it is considered ACS but does not present with cardiac biomarker elevation. (See “Acute Coronary Syndromes: NSTE-ACS (Unstable Angina and NSTEMI)” chapter.)
NSTEMI: elevation of cardiac biomarker (troponin) with either anginal symptoms, ischemic ECG changes other than ST elevation, or both. (See “Acute Coronary Syndromes: NSTE-ACS (Unstable Angina and NSTEMI)” chapter.)
STEMI: presents with typical symptoms as mentioned above with ST elevations noted on ECG; generally caused by acute plaque rupture and complete obstruction of culprit vessel and may present prior to laboratory detection of troponin. (See “Acute Coronary Syndromes: STEMI” chapter.)
Canadian Cardiovascular Society grading scale:
Class I: Angina does not limit ordinary physical activity, occurring only with strenuous or prolonged exertion (7 to 8 metabolic equivalents [METs]).
Class II: Angina causes slight limitation of ordinary activity. It occurs when walking rapidly, uphill, or >2 blocks; climbing >1 flight of stairs; or with emotional stress (5 to 6 METs).
Class III: Angina causes marked limitation of ordinary physical activity. It occurs when walking 1 to 2 blocks or climbing one flight of stairs (3 to 4 METs).
Class IV: Angina occurs with any physical activity and may occur at rest (1 to 2 METs).
Geriatric Considerations
The elderly may present with atypical symptoms.
Physical limitations may delay recognition of angina until it occurs with minimal exertion or at rest.
Maintain a high degree of suspicion during evaluation of dyspnea and other nonspecific complaints.
Geriatric patients may be very sensitive to the side effects of medications used to treat angina.
CAD is the leading cause of death for adults both in the United States and worldwide.
CAD is responsible for about 1 in every 3 deaths in the United States alone.
The cost of CAD in the United States was $555 billion in 2016 and is expected to rise to $1.1 trillion by 2035.
~80% of CAD is preventable with a healthy lifestyle.
In the United States, the lifetime risk of a 40-year-old developing CAD is 49% for men and 32% for women.
In the United States, 28.4 million people carry a diagnosis of CAD, whereas 7.12 million have angina pectoris (1).
Anginal symptoms occur during times of myocardial ischemia caused by a mismatch between coronary perfusion and myocardial oxygen demand.
Atherosclerotic narrowing of the coronary arteries is the most common etiology of angina, but it may also occur in those with significant aortic stenosis, pulmonary hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, coronary spasm, or volume overload.
Sensory nerves from the heart enter the spinal cord at levels C7–T4, causing diffuse referred pain/discomfort in the associated dermatomes.
Traditional risk factors: hypertension, ↓ HDL, ↑ LDL, smoking, diabetes, premature CAD in first-degree relatives (men <55 years old; women <65 years old), age (>45 years for men; >55 years for women)
Nontraditional risk factors: obesity, sedentary lifestyle, chronic inflammation, abnormal ankle-brachial indices, renal disease
Regular aerobic exercise program
Weight loss for obese patients (goal BMI <25 kg/m2)
BP control (goal <140/90 mm Hg; consider <130/80 mm Hg for those with 10-year ASCVD risk ≥ 10%) (2)[C]
Statin therapy for those with diabetes age 40 to 75 years and those with 10-year risk ≥7.5–10% (recommendations vary)
Low-dose aspirin may be considered in those with 10-year risk ≥10% and without aspirin-use risks.

Daniel Palillo’s Fashion as Art as Fashion
Finnish designer Daniel Palillo is an odd one, and we wouldn’t want it any other way. He recently told us, “I’ve been starting to design with a method that would be similar to method acting. During designing the latest collection, I became like the ultimate slacker, wandering Helsinki in my bathrobe.”
Not only is he slightly cuckoo, he’s also extraordinarily prolific, designing several new looks every day. At current count, he says it’s five. While not all of them make it into a collection, they’re nonetheless very large collections (he does a kids’ line, too). And of course he wouldn’t be an odd one without also being gifted in multiple disciplines. In fact, before fashion design, he studied painting.
Returning to his roots, Pailillo’s spring collection will be shown in the context of new paintings at The Hole gallery, opening tonight. ‘Paintings About the Fashion World,’ as the exhibit is called, showcases works with titles like Fat Hipster, God, and Madonna — characters familiar from previous collections. They’re shown wearing Palillo’s hand-made pieces, surreal and abstract patchworks of color that in some cases consist of no fewer than 180 pieces of fabric sewn together. Madness knows no bounds.

7 Cool Facts About Olaf’s Frozen Adventure
November 21, 2017 By Jeannette Kaplun
Frozen fans are over the moon now that Olaf’s Frozen Adventure will be shown for a limited time right before the new Disney Pixar film Coco starting November 22. The adorable snowman now has his own featurette but you also will get to see Elsa, Anna, Sven and Kristoff.
Filmmakers Roy Conli, Stevie Wermers-Skelton, and Kevin Deters were able to turn the sidekick, voiced by Josh Gad, into the main character of this 21 minute short film. The time constraint was their biggest challenge, and they even had to cut out a new character, Mr. Jingles.
What is Olaf’s Frozen Adventure about? When the kingdom of Arendelle empties out for the holiday season, Anna and Elsa realize that they have no family traditions of their own. So Olaf sets out on a merry mission to bring home the very best traditions and save Christmas.
7 fun things to know about Olaf’s Frozen Adventure
Here are 7 cool facts that I learned during a press event at Disney Animation Studios:
Olaf’s Frozen Adventure takes place during the first holiday season after Arendelle’s gates were reopened.
It took around a year and a half to make the 21 minute film.
The biggest challenge for the songwriters was the final song. Songwriters Kate Anderson and Elyssa Samsel said John Lasseter jokingly told them that he expected When We’e Together to be as memorable as Silent Night. No pressure, joked Kate Anderson. They also wrote 3 more original songs, and did the voiceover for the cute kittens you see during Olaf’s big song.
Different family traditions are central to Olaf’s Frozen Adventure. During Olaf’s song “That Time of Year” you will see diverse holiday traditions represented. Aside from a Christmas tree, stockings, caroling and Scandinavian celebrations, there is even a Jewish menorah (also called Chanukkiah), and children playing with a dreidel. Pay close attention to all the objects in the sled. You will find several Easter eggs, including Baymax’s fist!
Holiday sweaters inspired a beautiful scene. It required the filmmakers to use hand painted animation and stop motion techniques to get it right. The result was worth all the extra hours!
The animators had their own unique challenges. Animating the snow and getting it right was key. Also, animation supervisor Chad Sellers acts out the scenes while he is animating them to ensure they are realistic and that he captures the characters movements and personality.
Pay special attention to Elsa and Anna’s dresses. The color palette reflects how closer they are. Also, Elsa’s gown and cape overlay are spectacular. Watch how the cape moves throughout the initial scenes.
Are you excited to see again your favorite characters from Frozen? Let me know what you think of Olaf’s Frozen Adventure once you see it.
Disclosure: Disney invited me on a press trip for Coco’s premiere but I did not receive compensation for my posts.

Sabine violates restraining order again…in German
Hands up, everyone who knew that in addition to her multitude of English blogs (50+ at last count), Sabine also runs a blog in German. No, we weren’t aware either. At least, not until one of our sharp-eyed readers pointed it out to us.
It’ll come as no surprise, then, to discover that Sabine has posted a blog there titled “Was mir passierte, nachdem ich in London organisierten Kindermissbrauch aufdeckte“. Translation: “What happened to me after I reported organised child abuse in London”.
The blog post is date-stamped 31 July 2016, so there’s no way for her to argue that she wasn’t aware of the restraining order. The post starts with a reference to Sabine’s pre-trial trip to Brussels:
This very interesting conversation was held in March 2016 in Brussels, while the London police were still insisting that I stay in my apartment. Luckily, thanks to the EuroStar, Brussels is a day-trip from London.
The travel ban was one of the conditions imposed on me after I was arrested on 4 August 2015 at the Royal Courts of Justice. A dear former neighbour from Buschower had accompanied me to be a witness to whether my return, after six months’ exile in Spandau, was to take me to jail. The arrest can be viewed here:
What was my ‘crime’?
On behalf of a mother, I had threatened a judge: either give her her children back, or we would turn to the online world.
In November 2014 the Russian mother had contacted me on the basis of my website, because she was looking for help to get her two children returned to her care. The police had removed them, claiming that she and her partner would be a danger to her children, then 8 and 9 years old.
During their summer vacation the children had broken a pact with their English father, who had threatened to kill them if they told the mother what he was doing to them and other children, as head of a cult.
The details the children described about their abuse could not be invented, unless they had actually experienced them. The children also included drawings of the genitalia of their abusers:
However, High Court Judge Pauffley decided in her judgement that it was all fantasies, although medical reports confirmed anal scarring. But the judge said the injuries pointed not to the father, but to the current boyfriend of the mother.
The drawings were also suppressed by the police; the judge, therefore, never saw them.
The mother and I fled at the same time in February 2015 because of two documents issued by the secret family court, which threatened us with jail.
The mother was also visited by a minibus of nine police officers who wanted to pick her up. She escaped through the back door, while a lawyer, through a closed door, insisted on a court order. This conversation was inter alia recorded, and became one of many videos that the children’s supporters produced.
While I was living in my nephew’s apartment in Spandau, Interpol had been alerted and the London police had searched my apartment. An arrest warrant was made, and enacted on 4 August 2015.
This was the first of four arrests, three crimes against me, a six-day-long court process in which I emerged the winner, and other court hearings involving money, not prison.
I’m going to tell more about this to my clients. I have reason to lead the Buschower Birthday culture in Märkische Heide further and visit the Friesenhof with English friends.
The Havelland happens to have become my soul home!
Funnily enough, Sabine seems to have neglected a few facts here, including that pesky restraining order that should have prevented her from writing this post in the first place.
We’re sure the courts will be very interested in this, so we’ve forwarded it along to the police on Sabine’s behalf.

“The blog post is date-stamped 31 July 2015” – 2016 surely?
TN says:
Bet she’s really cross that this one’s been spotted – especially as she has gone out of her way to make her breach really clear!
LOL…. I bet she’s actually stupid enough to imagine nobody she’s crossed reads German.
Whoa, time warp! Thanks—fixed now.
I bet you’re both right! 🙂
Oh FFS.
Sie ist eine hinterhältige kleine Scheisser
Sabine is really flicking the “V” at the courts.She may as well go the full hog andstart doing guided tours of Hampstead SRA sites on skis for Japanese tourists.
Die Frau ist ein dummkopf!
I think it is more than one person.
Listen in awe as Angie attempts to rationalise her Rupert’s calls for the residents of Hampstead to be put to death.
How many lies do you think she’ll manage to squeeze into one short answer?
How so? Do you mean more than one person posts on that blog? I think that’s right, but it does belong to Sabine.
Here’s the ‘About Me’ page: https://buschow.online/redaktion/
The 2015 error occurs at beginning of vid here as well. Must be something in the stars 🙂 Cheers HOH
Noooo, lol, more than one person that reads German.
Sabine, as an ex CERN computer programmer I am sure has her own blogs nailed down tight. She’s not unintelligent is she, as I am sure she has explained many a time.
Reason for her arrest maybe?
Nicely done! Angie really sinks her own battleship here.
Ah, this makes sense—sorry I misread. Yes, I think many people read German, at least well enough to see what she’s up to.
As far as I’m aware, the police weren’t aware of this breach until yesterday; however, I could be mistaken.
Always did have her down as a tad schizo.
Thanks, Mik. All fixed now 🙂
Hats off to HOH customer service team 🙂
I’m alerting the FBI.
This man is extremely dangerous and advocating vigilantism and the Yanks know full well this can end in tragedy when those who Rupert Wilson Quaintance attempts to stir into action may become frustrated at who they perceive are not acting correctly – such as police or teachers etc – should be punished as well.
This is so very serious and appears to be an extraordinary Contempt of Court. This woman continues to snub her nose at the courts and mock them.
Not only does she continue to breach 2 very serious court orders and an injunction – the first is not just a civil matter as it involves the family court – but she allowed her barrister to tell a blatant lie to the Criminal Court that his client accepted there was no “satanism” and baby killing & cannibalism in the Hampstead case.
I’m still waiting on a response to my complaint to the Law Society as to whether a barrister deliberately misled the UK Criminal Court in this case (unwittingly & on behalf of his client) but I’m making a further complaint about McNeill’s solicitor who appears to have deliberately frustrated police by assisting Draper and Christie to escape justice.
I doubt I may get a response as these may become matters that entail further court actions but the first thing the Law Society does is contact the complained about party to ask for a response.
Rupert Wilson Quaintance 1V doth protest too much.
He doth, dothn’t he?
Pingback: Sabine violates restraining order again…in German | ShevaBurton. Cross of Change Blog
Yes, I agree—this is another serious breach on Sabine’s part. I’ll be interested to see the outcome of your complaints, Sam.
What’s this about Rupert Wilson Quaintance 1V isn’t his name?
He might go by the name Wilson, but surely it’s the one in his passport that counts?
About these creeps saying they have IP addresses, i have conversed with them on facebook and youtube, can they get my IP from those? if he comes anywhere near my house i shall treat it as what he has boasted it is, a threat of violence. If he is arrested and not deported but jailed, his F a kid in the A statement wont go down too well, he may have to go on the protection wing, especially if someone informs some of the inmates.
No, they can’t get IP addresses from Facebook or YouTube. If you’ve emailed someone or commented on a blog without using a proxy or VPN, then yes, it’s possible to find an IP. It’s possible to use email that keeps your IP private—Hushmail is an example.
I expect that if Rupert were arrested here, he would be deported. No country wants to take on the time and expense involved in prosecuting and then jailing a non-national, if they can just as easily ship the person off home and let them deal with him there.
Yes, I haven’t seen any evidence that he’s using a fake name. His mother seems to think he’s real enough! 🙂
They’ll probably ask him to leave like Christine Ann Sands was, though she did have a return ticket to fly back to the USA. Along with a nice juicy fine too, that he’ll no doubt get his gullible supporters to pay, just like all these con men such as Malcolm Blackman aka Joe Public on fb do.
Rupert not having a return ticket might be problematic for him though so maybe he’ll be remanded in Custody. He’ll get a taste of UK prisons then as he’s wanted to do in the past.
What a complete and utter fool he is.
Btw what on earth is a YOUNG BLOOD COUNTRY BOY as Angela calls him.
I don’t like the sound of the blood, is that some kind of Freudian slip on her part?
She’s making him sound backward at the very least.
Perhaps his performance in the bedroom department is not up to scratch…
I’t a no-brainer, isn’t it. He’s a US citizen openly committing attempted mass-murder. And his public calls to murder innocent people in both the UK and the US are essentially acts of terrorism. The FBI should be very interested.
Mate, the clueless twats have been threatening to trace us through our IP addresses for 18 months. They’re full of shit. Here are some from February 2015:
And to be fair, his dad is Rupert Quaintance III, so it tallies.
https://www.facebook.com/rupert.w.quaintance?fref=ts
The ‘genius’ that is Rupert ‘I want to fuck a little kid in the ass’ Quaintance the iV…. “Pip, pip, pip,pi, pip just like a young” tier II sex offender under federal law. – Which Mike Tyson is; a man on the Sex Offender’s register. Rupert isn’t FIGHTING paedophiles – He’s a complete fucking hypocrite! The man IS a paedophile! – that’s why, at THIRTY FUCKING SEVEN YEARS OF AGE he dresses and acts like a child. That’s why he’s blowing all this smoke! – Much of it dirty stinking drugs; it’s more ‘candy for the kiddies’ he wants to attract. – Wanting to anally rape a child is not a subject for humour! It’s no laughing matter. Only a pervert could come out with such a thing….. It’s the lowest form of perversion; and Rupert has clearly stated his wish to indulge in it!
And what of Hampstead….. Two little children, clearly exhibiting signs of having being beaten, parroting filthy fantasises thumped into them by what kind of man exactly? – ANOTHER dirty drug-addict with a long criminal past including violence, drug dealing and a rape allegation. Disney…… No wonder her family has disowned her! She’s yet ANOTHER piece of drug-addicted scum! The evidence of her indulging in illegal substances is all over YouTube and admitted by herself….. She’s a child-beater, a fantasist and from what I can tell, a bloody fraudster……. Seriously….. These people are lowlife scum-of-the-fucking earth. Now they’re openly threatening to disrupt the lives of innocent ordinary respectable people? and they imagine this is somehow ‘OK’ or even justified? This small-town, small-mind, small-brain, ill-bred, freak-of-nature American PERVERT thinks he has something to educate ordinary British people in?
The more I learn of these hoaxes the more obvious it becomes that they’re mainly the product of perverts crying wolf to try and draw the heat away from their own perverted ways.
I’m not worried in the slightest about Rupert’s threats of tracing IP addresses.
What good is someone’s address?
Rupert will do sweet fanny adams.
I don’t live anywhere near Hampstead and if Rupert or any of the mob want to turn up at my door, let them. Morons.
I had an escaped Machete man breaking my side wall, glass topped shed and frightening my Ginger cat a couple of weeks ago and I saw him off.
Police helicopter flying over head, 4 police cars, 1 van (that I could see down the side of the road), more around the corner.
I don’t think Rupert and his ilk will bother with me and if he bothers with any of the people living in Hampstead, assuming he does visit Hampstead and he hasn’t being apprehended beforehand then the Police will have to be called I suppose.
I can’t really see Rupert showing up at anyone’s door, doorstepping.
If he does, he’s got some cheek he intruding into people’s lives when he’s clearly not welcome.
Is he going to bring his girlfriend Angie as his accomplice?
Rupert’s threats of violence are particularly distasteful.
What a vile creep he is at the very least and possibly worse.
Rupert and his “team” are a joke! As are the “legal team” and the “forensics” team.
I don’t believe a word of it.
More damning no nonsence from the MK Devils camp
No – He’s using his real name. Someone up here had someone over there do various searches on him that included having people local to him verify his ‘story’. He’s a well known creep in his hometown and there are hints of his ‘mom and pop’ bailing him out of big trouble on more than one occasion. From what we can tell they’re a generally disliked, generally dishonest family; but they have money and a position within the community which means they’re able to hold people to ransom and maintain a ‘respectable’ (as in respect me or else) facade…. ‘Neds with money’. – Pretty scummy people from what we can glean (IMHO).
I don’t think this Hoax Mob have even met a person who was abused as a child or an abused child.
Abuse victims do not relate tales like these two kids did who are clearly and almost excitedly repeating a script in the expectation that either a reward will follow or perhaps certain actions will stop (waterboarding? clips over the ear from a thug?).
It makes the real abuse from Christie with the passive acceptance of the mother even more sinister in the manner they have abused these children’s joyful innocence.
If I were a member of this hoax mob I would not look forward to the time these kids grow into teenagers & young adults.
As for the mother Draper, all I can think of is how my mother defended all her 4 children with a (Russian heritage) ferocity that belies Draper’s background given how family is so important to East Europeans as often, it’s all they have in life. I cannot think of a mother who would ever abandon her children under any circumstances.
I’ve spoken to Police Officers who actually ARE involved in tracking down online criminals. They tell me it’s a complex process somewhat comparable to old-fashioned line-tracing in the days of mechanical switching. – It’s possible, if they have good reason, for the police to have a particular line ‘monitored’ but even that doesn’t produce straightforward answers. I also have a Brother who works for BT Outreach and have gleaned much of the following from him………..
IP addresses are useful only to people like law enforcement….. At best you’ll get the name of the ISP and a location within about 20 miles of where the user is logged on from. Even an engineer for the firm concerned has to go through another process which identifies THEM to even get as far as the street cabinet….. And from there they need to access other information to tie a particular line to a particular subscriber! A user complaining or suspecting that their line is being traced this way WILL result in the proverbial ton of bricks being dropped on said staff member their team manger etc. etc. etc!
20 years ago when people were on dial-up, or even 12-15 years ago before broadband became virtually standard, there is a slim chance an engineer with access to an exchange could have pulled this off unnoticed, but not now. There are data protection teams that monitor and steward this sort of thing.
Besides which, most ordinary users have dynamic IPs; these change every time their modem is reset and/or randomly by the exchange. To trace an actual user, you’d need to be able to access the ISP’s logs and tie-in a particular IP at a particular time to a particular subscriber; which means the Data Protection Act and at least two different databases kick in. The ISP need a good reason to give that information out. – Something similar is true for those that, for whatever reason, have a fixed IP. – i.e. maybe they run a server from that address and line.
Having done that, you may just get to the building….. If its a shared facility such as a cybercafe or a business centre; are there even any logs as to who was logged in where and when? There must be dozens of users and sub-users in the building I’m logged in from. And I believe the building gets its telephone service via the estate landlord! And – I can work just as well from the same ‘virtual machine’ from across the street or 40 miles away back in Glasgow! – I simply type a particular IP into my browser and log on via remote desktop!
Has Eyelash sacked Angie?
Go you! Fanny, your forename is very apt, as you clearly have hidden depths. These bastards may take our lives, they may take our freedom, but they’ll never take our ginger pussycats!
The result of chaotic empty lives who blame exterior world for interior world disharmony.Their problems and solutions lie far closer to home than they are willing or dare to look.
The haze of self medication adds fuel to this unproductive mal direction as does the mutual feeding and false confirmation of others in the failed bipeds community.
Commonly most decay and self destruct prematurely and proceed towards end of life isolation and basically talking to themselves.
The dangerous aspect for innocents going about their daily lives trying to get safely from A to B is that on occasions the circumstances combine such that an individual acts in the real world to harm or destroy false enemies.
Rupert in particular reveals signs of being a genuine candidate for such violent resolution and those tasked with responsibilty for such matters need to act unequivocally to ensure opportunity is denied.
Oh and make sure her majesties peas are wrongly aligned with carrots just for the sheer hell of it. MUHAHAHAHA
Do we have to bring families into this? I’m an ex Virginia resident and made enquiries too and got a different picture than this one. Besides aren’t we acting like Hoaxtenders when we start involving peoples families? I was disgusted when RD’s mother and grandmother were featured and personally think Rupert’s long suffering parents should be left out of this. His mother may (in our view) be misguided when she supports him, but she obviously doesn’t understand the issues and if she were able to sit down and talk to Hampstead mums she might change her mind quickly when she hears what they’ve been through.
Personally I think Rupert is on track with his unconscious agenda to trash the family name – or maybe he’s too dope adled to know what he’s doing. What I’m getting at though is the fact that it’s hard to get a full picture on the net and from reports of someone who knows someone.
How sure are You that this Man is his Dad?
Rupert thinks that Ella went to the police and seems to have no idea that Abe’s brother in law was the one who reported it. Ella then had no choice but to go to the police. They called her in and she had to go. Fact checking Rupert! The first thing you do is read everything and not just the accounts that confirm your biases.
I’m intrigued, Fnord! Where have you heard that?
To be honest, i don’t think Eilish has that kind of clout. It would be up to Mel and Biggy to do the hiring and firing. It wouldn’t surprise me if Eilish has fallen out with her, though. That’s been on the cards since Angie started spouting all that heartless bollocks about Max Spiers and his family literally within hours of his death being announced.
Meanwhile, there is another intriguing tidbit about Angie’s “employment” at CCN which EC and others are looking into, so watch this space!
Well, not this space exactly (that would be silly) but a space somewhere up ^thataway^ 😀
Jimmy Jones says:
Sabine ist so dick wie Scheiße
MKD have made a good point about the crime number. I’ve asked Angie for this on several occasions, to prove she isn’t bullshitting. But answer comes there none. Mainly because she IS bullshitting.
You can report material such as:
articles, images, speeches or videos that promote terrorism or encourage violence
content encouraging people to commit acts of terrorism
websites made by terrorist or extremist organisations
videos of terrorist attacks
https://www.gov.uk/report-terrorism
Crimes committed against someone because of their disability, gender-identity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation are hate crimes and should be reported to the police.
Hate crimes can include:
threatening behaviour
inciting others to commit hate crimes
http://report-it.org.uk/your_police_force
That’s such a lovely thumbnail. It’s good to know that Catweazle and Oddjob are still finding work.
Big Earl says:
Yes take your point. Abe’s brother in law is a ‘special constable’ meaning a volunteer. I’ve speculated that they might have gone to him hoping he’d give evidence in family court and they didn’t expect him to go to Scotland Yard. I think he told the Police he thought the children should be taken into ‘care’ for their own safety and seeing as they were with Abe and Ella at the time that speaks volumes. Someone correct me if I got this wrong.
Well said Joe Kerr, spot on
I remember someone posted on this blog Ruperts old Youtube channel and he was totally different from how he presents himself now. He was quite the posh boy sitting down trying to look intellectual while listening to someone playing violin to him. He was still as pathetic as he is now
Rupert @ 8:18 – “That’s all I gotta say about that.”
No it isn’t, Rupert. You haven’t fucking shut up about it since!
I hope Steffi has a sit down and thinks about what Gabriella told her about Angie. Angie certainly isn’t a friend of hers. Angie just used Steffi as entertainment for herself and Rupert, what a cruel twisted thing to do to somebody.
Two more new ones from MKD:
Yes Fnord we do…… VERY much so. Bear in mind we have genuine Journalists and actual Police Officers at hand here. Calls were made and information sought about this worthless little guttersnipe at an early stage….
The difference between the Hampstead residents (including Dearman) and the Quaintances, is that they are completely innocent people who did absolutely nothing to precipitate any of this…. Let’s also not forget that the people whose lives he is threatening to wreck and the children whose minds he is about to forever-sully with his perverted filth are families too….. And unlike him and his, they really-are complete innocents.
This is a hoax perpetrated by a pervert and drug dealer. It’s already wrecked lives and harmed innocent children. And now this sub-human pervert manchild is issuing to do further harm? Lest we forget that one of Rupert’s Key defenders is his God-damned psycho-bitch of a Mother! That woman is every bit as bad as her son and has proven herself so – she’s actually threatened to turn firearms on people; and by any sane measure that could only be the rhetoric of a psychopath…. And PULEEZEEE don’t make the ‘different culture’ excuse. The apple, quite obviously, didn’t fall far from a very rotten tree here!
Long suffering parents my arse; they’re the source of the problem!!
The notion that this is some ‘little misunderstanding’ or ‘difference of opinion’ that can be settled with a discussion is insane! If Rupert’s Mother had a decent and/or honest bone in her body, she’d firstly admit to herself what an utter disgrace and failure of parenting her offspring is. THIRTY SEVEN YEARS OF AGE – acting like a slow-witted (I’m reluctant to use the word ‘retarded’ but maybe it’s better-understandable in American parlance) teenager….. Irrefutably a drug-abuser….. Threatening to desecrate churches, invade schools, disrupt the lives of innocent law-abiding people…
She’s defending him; and encouraging him to live the life of a scrounging drug-addicted con artist. That’s not “misguided” – she’s quite obviously as stupid and evil as he is!
Likewise – Rupert ‘fannybaws’ Quaintance IV is his Father’s Son; if the Quaintances are such ‘nice’ people then THEY need to reign their ill-bred stray dog in. He’s THEIR responsibility and the product of THEIR up upbringing. They’ve produced a manchild? Rupert hasn’t grown up? Aww shame! Then they’ve failed to date and need to exercise the discipline they should have done when he was an actual child; that or they disown him….
Instead the Quaintance family are actively supporting this filthy beast, which makes them very-much part of the problem…. BIG contrast there between them and the Dearmans.
The picture we have here – and at some point somebody might just choose to run with the evidence – is of a dysfunctional family that thinks it can use its money to buy and/or bully their way out of trouble. Their ‘good reputation’? Bought and paid for, not earned. And as fragile as a two-bob china dog! – That’s WHY their middle-aged failure of a drug addicted son is the way he is.
No. Sorry. the Quaintances aren’t the ‘nice respectable people’ they might like to be portrayed as; they’ve had this moron running loose for nigh-on forty years; he’s a middle-aged man. And they’re actively defending the indefensible….. Part of the problem.
We are being spoilt by Hands Off Hampstead and McKenzies Devils.
We’ve seen that too AF. That was when he was trying to ‘bludge’ his way through life off the family connections. He got as far as getting a clerk’s job at a Hotel where he remained ’till quite recently. But basically he’s been a waster and non-achiever all his life.
What happened Rupert?
His family were traced and public records accessed….. If you have some evidence that this isn’t the ‘real’ Rupert Quaintance IV then please present it. Otherwise, I’m afraid he ties in with birth and employment records and is ‘known’ in the area he claims to come from.
They’re all hooked up on Farcebook.
Fnord, no one’s involved families. Rupert’s mum and dad were only mentioned above in response to the question about whether Rupert was using his real name and nothing derogatory was said.
Meanwhile, Rupert’s mother has involved herself by trolling various Hoaxtead Research associates on Farcebook, making several anti-British comments, applauding and encouraging her son’s disgraceful antics and threatening to shoot Gabriella Barney, so forgive me if I’m not oozing with sympathy for her.
I’m confused – in his radio show on Saturday, Rupert claimed never to have had a paid job in his life.
Nice find, AP.
So Rupert was already on the fiddle long before he met Angie, then.
No HOH…. Someone else has the detail, but he worked for some years in a kind of ‘low rate’ hotel as a bookings clerk. – I think there was also some trace of him working in a music shop; drum store to be precise….. Possibly in Florida IIRC? But much of his life has been spent as a bum basically; and that’s been indulged by his parents.
Lmao, this is the guy who brags about how tough he is. He ain’t fooling anybody with his trash talk.
What’s this video? Threats of violins as opposed to threats of violence.
Here’s the little bum proving he can’t play drums….
Rupert-the-stick fell(ate)s a tree.
I always thought he was bit of a beaver
Hahaha, nice one, AF!
“Violins, not violence” could become a great peace-rallying slogan along the lines of “Make love, not war”…
I wonder if Angie’s let him pluck her G-string yet.
Poor old Rupert – stumped again.
The, brainless drug-addled twat is still trying to talk tough to cover up the fact that he’s just a spoilt GILF-shagging pussy:
HOH I think he said he hadn’t had a salaried job in his life.
He probably got paid weekly.
Jesus Christ what a cretin the is Quaintance is. Did his “research”?. The mother went to the police. Not true. And “Jimmy Seville in Hempstead”? Anyone know who this Jimmy Seville is? What a fuckwit.
Keep the pressure up on this goon as he is clearly rattled.
Get used to those handcuffs, Neelu! With all these restraining order breaches, you should be wearing them again soon.
And isn’t it good to see that Angie has her finger on the pulse of current affairs, as always:
Good to know that pretend journalism degree hasn’t gone to waste 😀
So Rupert Bear is in reality a nerd (apologies to all reasonable nerds) and Macho Kung Fu Panda Rupert is a recent invention. Explains a lot.
Quaintance’s desperate repressions of his inner fears have now surfaced.
Who is more desperate- Rupert or Angie ?..pass the sick bag Alice..please don’t answer that.
And did Macho Rupert find her G-Spot?.
Oh stop it, now you are just being wicked.
Thanks for the info’, JK.
And oh my God, that drumming is appalling! 😮
It must be something in the water in that neck of the woods (chem trails?).
Poor Steffi thinks the Muslim is coming to take her pig.
When “The Muslims” invade the Ozarks you can be sure the safest beings will be pigs.
But I saw Deliverance and I think the pig’s real enemies may be the locals.
Poor Neelu can’t help herself.
She’s quick old Angie isn’t she? Probably took her this long to get her head straight after getting stoned with Rupert.
Looking at Rupert’s old videos, I prefer the ‘Love Police’ Rupert. Though i’m not sure standing around with a cardboard sign saying “Everything is OK”, in response to a young woman being brutally murdered, is the appropriate response.
Not sure he came across as a young Mike Tyson either.
Interesting. If she and Sabine were such fast friends, you’d think Angie would have known almost immediately. Bears out the info I’ve received lately about a major split amongst the driving forces behind the hoax.
Hmmm, that comment is just ‘Greek’ to me! I can’t see whether him being Gay or Straight makes any difference….. He’s certainly not ‘normal’ in that he parades about dressed and acting like a slow-witted teenage boy. And I for one am of the opinion that’s part of a ‘Pied Piper’ act. I’m aware of another American Paedophile who behaved similarly (still does I think). – I can’t see who his demeanour would be attractive to except a child. He definitely seems inadequate in that he would be repellent to any normally-adjusted adult. – But his sexual orientation is nothing to do with anything.
For the record: The above is a response to a homophobic comment that has now disappeared.
Yes, I removed the original comment as I didn’t feel it’s appropriate.
It certainly wasn’t. I sense an agenda to either lead us up a garden path or get a ‘rise’ out of people that Rupert would then manipulate….. Ain’t gonna happen Rupey.
Joe your sense of agenda are figment of poor imagination. calling me homophobic is stupid and irresponsible because i was questioning the gender of Rupert and NOT attacking homosexuals.
.And there are questions that rises about various comments appearing in this blog
Madness continues on Neelu’s FB page with court transcripts:
“Judge Worsley: Who is Lotus princess?
Ruth Munro: My client ” lol
and on this website :
http://comedycourt.webs.com/millenium-trial
I do not believe the material was obtained legally but rather by someone recording in the court. I believe Neelu Berry should be asked how she obtained this transcript as she has been agitating for $10K plus for the court transcript. It’s just not logical that she could have raised the money in this time.
More contempt of court?
My sources advize efforts were made to channel young Ruperts erratic behaviour during his formative years but his parents couldnt cope with his masturbation at dinner parties and eventually decided to release him into the wild.Here is some rare footage from the Quaintance family archive before it all went wrong.
Reminds me of Jason Manford’s ‘Walk on the Wild Side’ series, which I absolutely love.
You say that comment was “Greek to me”, JK. Where’s Yannis when we need him?
Yannis Emmanouilidis says:
Εδώ είμαι. τι θέλετε πείτε μου.
This has been covered before, Sam – it’s not a transcript but a write-up of Neelu’s handwritten notes taken at the time.
Here I am . Who called me? lol
OMG, one of Steffi’s monkeys has escaped! Call the rozzers!
Hahaha, that was way too quick, Yan. People will think you’re me now, lol.
Mind you, the hoaxers have often alleged that I’m you anyway 😀
ZZZZZzzzzzzz
Lets admit It you is me and me is you (hands off hamstead
Also according to few Ricky Dearman is my best Mate comes to my house, we make few movies, together then we go to US on Holiday. So if Ricky reads this Mate you owe me a holiday.
Neelu has said that this material is the result of her dictating her notes into a voice-to-text online programme. I believe she was taking copious notes during the trial, but reading her version here it’s very clear that she was watching the proceedings from the Planet Zog. Possibly another universe, even. It would be funny if it weren’t sad.
It’s not the first time Rupert has caused problems “on air”. I found this on http://nformd.yolasite.com
“Now we will address Rupert Wilson Quaintance IV, Rupert was a host on Nformd for several months, there was a slow downward spiral with Rupert where he began drinking heavily while on air. On Sept. 6th 2010, Rupert had Charlie Veitch on for an interview, Toward the end of the interview Ziggy was able to jump on air and began attacking Charlie about how she had gotten him a lawyer back when he was arrested in Canada and that she was very upset that he disrespected her by finding another lawyer. That evening, Rupert had came on air, very drunk and began attacking several of the NFormd hosts, including myself. That evening we decided it would be best if Rupert take a break from NFormd. Within days he was being aired on “ITS”. More recently we found out that Rupert’s father is actually employed by DISA, a branch of the Department of Defense.”
Oh dear, Rupert… 😀

I found the above here: http://nformd.yolasite.com/nformd-blog/absolute-fabrication
Whatever quality genetic stock the Quaintance family may proudly consider they have inherited through the ages their latest progeny provides ample evidence that idiotism figures significantly in the mix.
MKDevils latest fare.
As for Sabine, did she really think she could get away with breaching the RO by typing in her native language? haha.. well done to the sharp-eyed reader who found it!
Yes, we love our readers! 🙂
The hoax is dead. Its official.
I meant ‘sacked’ as in no longer friends. It says in the post above that there are people who no longer want anything to do with Angie and that includes Eyelash….t’was news to me.
Rupert playing at being a Rothschild…
Unfortunately none of us know exactly what Sabine was arrested for last week – It might be a separate unrelated matter.
I do hope that the Police and CPS act quickly with regards the post Sabine made on her German blog (as identified by EC at the start of this post)
If you look at the post of Sabine you will see a link to a YouTube video, that ends with a page of links to old posts about the hoax.
The order states:
Sabine’s post is clearly in breach of the restraining order against her last month. As such she faces a possible prison sentence
The page of links in Sabine’s German post
Just in case Sabine now decides to delete the page, its now archived on Wayback Machine.
The videos are also saved and archived…..
Hopefully the Police have done the same
Why do we bother, LOL?
Ooh, we’ll have to arrange a reception committee made up of some of those nice boys and girls in blue. The trolling bitch will probably have her creepy toy boy in tow – two birds, one stone.
I’ve just noticed that Angela has removed her illegal post showing the children’s names and faces and the usual libel. We’ve got these biatches rattled, folks! 😀
Thanks, Jake, Nice find! And you’ll be pleased to know I’ve posted a screenshot of your comment to both Rupert and Angela.
I also found this:
Indeed, Yannis! I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together 😀
What happened to Rupert? He went bald. Massive narcissistic injury.
There are some nice little moments dotted throughout this show (including fumbling, rambling, pregnant pauses, “technical hitches” and embarrassingly loud burps – so professional, Roops!). Rupert is clearly drunk. Or just blindingly incompetent.
Oh and he admits to having taken MDMA.
And there’s a nice little confrontation between Veitch and “Ziggy” at 39 minutes.
Excellent find of the inebriated loopy Roopy.

Victims of ‘recovered memory’: ‘We remembered whatever they wanted’
We’ve written before about the early Satanic panic cases, both here and in the USA. Many will remember the infamous Rochdale case in 1990, when children from a total of six families on a council estate had their children removed into local authority care. This came about because the parent of one seven-year-old, whose child was exhibiting disturbed behaviour, was seen by two social workers who attributed the boy’s behaviour to involvement in ritual abuse. Eventually all four children in that family were taken into care.
Interviews with those children appeared to implicate children from the other families in “horrifying organised ritual abuse of some kind”, and allegations were made that the children had also received “drugs of some sort”.
When the case got to court, Mr Justice Douglas Brown rejected these allegations, and was highly critical of the interviewing techniques used. He said interviews had been conducted with little regard for the Cleveland recommendations. Virtually all the information the children gave came in response to leading or suggestive questions, and the social workers had failed to differentiate the children’s descriptions of fact from fantasy.
By the early 2000s, 12 of the 20 children whose lives had been ripped apart launched lawsuits against the local council for negligence in its duty of care toward them.
Manchester-based solicitor Richard Scorer, Head of Abuse Law at Slater & Gordon, represented some of the Rochdale victims. In his review of Dr Julia Shaw’s 2016 book The Memory Illusion: Remembering, forgetting, and the science of false memory, Mr Scorer notes,
Recovered memory never made much headway in the United Kingdom. (I have represented many hundreds of victims of sexual abuse; almost none have claimed a recovered memory in the commonly understood sense.) But the ‘Satanic panic’, which also germinated in America, did make it to the UK, with spectacularly damaging consequences. In the early 1990s, social workers in Rochdale, Nottingham and Orkney became convinced that children had been abused in satanic rituals, witchcraft and devil worship. The children concerned—from poor, vulnerable families living in isolated council estates—were seized in dawn raids. In most cases the courts eventually concluded that no abuse had ever occurred. In the meantime, however, children had been torn from their parents and families destroyed.
A few years later, when those children became adults, I represented some of them in seeking damages for their unwarranted removal into care. They described their experiences very graphically. Utterly bewildered and terrified, they had been subjected to hours of relentless pressure and leading questions. Before long, as one of them told me, ‘we simply had no idea what we really remembered or didn’t remember, so we just remembered whatever they wanted’.
We know that “false memories” can be deliberately created in adults—in fact, Dr Shaw describes in this video how she is able to cause false memories in normal adults within three interviews:
The children from Rochdale have stated that they were forced to “remember whatever they wanted”, as presumably well-meaning but extremely misguided social workers hectored and pressured them to remember events which had never occurred.
Of course this brings to mind RD’s children, who were removed from the relative safety of their London home and taken to an isolated hotel in Morocco by their mother and her psychopathic boyfriend. For a full month they were dragged out of bed in the middle of the night for “questioning”; they were beaten with spoons, punched in the head, kicked in the “front privates”, burned, forced to kneel in their underpants while water was poured over them, threatened with burial and abandonment in the desert.
We know that RD’s children said “whatever they wanted”, not only because they both stated that they had been forced to lie by Abe with their mother’s approval and consent, but because Ella has since admitted that some of the things she and Abe forced the children to say were not, in fact, the truth.
Abe and Ella’s few remaining supporters continue to cling to the original words of the children (including, one presumes, the parts which Ella has admitted that she invented). But anyone who understands how easily children can be made to say, and even believe, things which are patently false must stand firmly with the children themselves, not the false words that were forced out of them.

Illuminating stuff, EC! Thank you.
Why can’t the hoaxers get it into their thick skulls that the children told Police something which Ella only admitted this year, wasn’t true, which can only mean the children must have been originally COACHED to say it??
Great post. That video of Dr Shaw was interesting too.
Great post, EC.
Sorry to go off topic so quickly, but I thought I should let you GCHQ bastards know that you’re all suspended from duty with immediate effect. I know because this lady told me so and I’m too scared to argue with her:
Neelu says I don’t have to go to work tomorrow! Good to know.
Aww bless, she has a supporter:
It’s funny—I’ve asked them this, and they always change the subject. Ditto when I ask them about RD’s alleged tattoo, which he supposedly had but Ella never noticed.
Shameless:
Half of nine is two? When was this brought in? Bloody Tories.
Hang on a minute, wasn’t Neelu once a pharmacist? It’s a bit alarming that she’s unable to do even elementary arithmetic any longer.
Rupert was sentenced at the end of August, for two nine-month sentences to be served concurrently. Quick, Neelu, what’s half nine?
(Shh…no one tell her it’s 4.5!)
All right, Neelu, now count with me: September, October, November, December, and half of January. That’s 4.5 months. And it’s late November now…or at least, it is on Earth. Who knows how time is measured on the Planet Zog?
LOL snap!
I should point out that the above edict is accompanied by a giant photo of herself. Is this megalomania?
ParaTroofer says:
Great article EC.
Rupert, a whistleblower? LMAO
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA………………BAHAHAHAHAHAHA……BAHAHAHAHAHA
Maybe he has been upto something in prison, but he certainly wasn’t a whistleblower on the outside.
Neelu for the Nut house.
God doesn’t exist, and neither does Satan. These fruitloops are insane.
Also, why would serving half his sentence mean he had the right to be set free? How does that work, Neelu? LOL
Nut house?
Squirrel den?
Actually my understanding is that for sentences less than a year long, prisoners are released at the halfway mark if their behaviour while in prison is good. If I’m wrong, jump in!
Beautifully stated! Very very nice work 🙂
No, I get that. Prisoners are often released on parole early, especially if they’ve exhibited good behaviour inside. I was querying what gives him an automatic right to be set free, though reading my question back I can see I should have made that clearer.
Oh, but he did blow the whistle on Angies bumslap 🙂
Fair enough, PT – I was just being overly cautious in light of something someone said last week:
https://hoaxteadresearch.wordpress.com/2017/11/17/rupert-quaintance-appeal-quashed/#comment-87047
Thanks Justin. 🙂
Alternatively, who would like to rip up a bunch of money and flush it straight down the loo? Might as well do that as give it to The Weasel.
Vincent de Paul says:
I wonder if Cressida Dick knows she doesn’t have to go to work tomorrow!
When adults confess to crimes they did not commit because of coercion, etc., what chance do children have. As that person said, “we remembered whatever they wanted”. A child taken from the safety of their home, tired, frightened & wanting to go back to their loved ones would naturally say what someone in authority wanted them to say as innocent adults will do under repeated duress.
https://www.innocenceproject.org/causes/false-confessions-admissions/
Why do innocent people confess?
The reasons that people falsely confess are complex and varied, but what they tend to have in common is a belief that complying with the police by saying that they committed the crime in question will be more beneficial than continuing to maintain their innocence.
The factors that can contribute to a false confession during a police interrogation include:
mental impairment
ignorance of the law
fear of violence
the actual infliction of harm
the threat of a harsh sentence
misunderstanding the situation
I welcome this. As Head Tea Lady at GCHQ I’ve never bloody well been paid anyway. Not even when I went out of my way to get that nice section head George Soros his favourite digestive biscuits so just wait until next week and they run out. Expect fireworks and I wouldn’t be surprised if Sir John Paterson comes in for special treatment from the Jewish Illuminati.
On a serious note : as a teenage victim of a drugging (possibly the first “date rape drug” it was that long ago) brutal rape by 3 men and a bashing that police described as attempted murder followed by a being dumped in the gutter of Notting Hill road at 3am – I remember every single detail and face and still do.
I only had confusion about remember name details but 12 months later while I was recovering by working on a friend’s country property I picked up a newspaper to find my attackers had been busted in a huge heroin import and they all received up to 20 years jail which somewhat avoided me the necessity of a debilitating trial.
# in contrast to what seems popular opinion I found the 2 detectives who I dealt with to be sympathetic and discreet given the circumstances. Perhaps because they were from a central London police station and maybe more sophisticated.
Others may have had different experiences.
Having no idea of Rupert’s behavior in jail, he probably should be released as it serves no useful purpose keeping him locked up any longer.
That however would be up to the relevant authorities though and as Neelu has just fired all public servants (presumably including prison Governors and wardens) what’s the point of writing to them?
And who is running the jail, preparing food, ensuring prisoner’s safety etc etc.
Have I found the Tiny Flaw to Neelu’s plan?
I’m so sorry to hear that happened to you, GoS. I think most victims of trauma of that sort will remember most details; we may try not to think about it, but forget? Not likely.
I’m glad to hear the police treated you well; I think that’s a matter of luck of the draw for the most part.
So very sorry to hear that GoS. What a terrible thing to have happened to you, ( I hate saying thing, it does not describe what I feel). I personally have had no doings with the police but a young girl that is dear to me was gang raped when she was 15 & the Police were exceptionally good with & to her & treated her with the greatest of respect. I am so glad you did not have to testify, my young friend’s case did not get to trial either, one man was done for underage sexual offences, the other 4 skipped the country. From my understanding the DPP stated that a date rape case is very hard to prove.
Yes he did to a degree but it was more than a bum slap and more than a fondle of his bum/ass.
And Angela if you’re reading this fine blog as I know you do every morning when you have your 1st smoke, could you please blow the whistle for once in your life and tell us the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth before Rupert writes his Memoirs and everyone finds out what really happened in Lanazarote and also outside Holborn Police Station, you see I know but I’m giving you the opportunity of confessing one of the sins you committed against Rupert.
Neelu is able to control herself, as she is not breaking her lifetime Restraining Order but Sabine is.
I’m not even sure if she is actually mentally ill, though I’m not qualified to say she is or not.
Rupert has not claimed he is mentally ill, as his Mental Health was not mentioned in Court and that would have been the time for him to state if he felt he was.
I’m not so sure now he has been incarcerated.
My opinion/s on Neelu, Rupert and their ilk is really neither here nor there, though I think there is a lot of scamming going on for some of them to claim Disability Benefits.

Oh gawd not this old trick…. He’s obviously skint. I doubt that the t shirts will ever materialise.
Good point, Sam.
And who’s going to fix her pothole now that she’s sacked all the council workers? I’m not sure she’s thought this through.
She might not be breaking her Hampstead restraining order but she frequently breaks her lifetime King Charles Hospital one.

A more detailed presentation by Dr. Shaw:
Siphoning off Mobile phones, collecting money for t-shirts, whatever next?
Ooo yes, good point, the hospital legal department need to report her, what with last year’s R.O. they might get her stopped though possibly don’t want the publicity?
So Rupert is sending out ‘distress letters’ ? So, no remorse yet then?
Still the “Poor me” routine from him..

First rant of the day from Banana-Schnozz:
“Meredith Maran, award-winning journalist and author of several best-selling nonfiction books discusses her family’s devastation and ultimate redemption around her experience of false memory. Set against the backdrop of the sex-abuse scandals, beginning with the infamous McMartin preschool trial, Maran shares with incredible honesty, her unbelievable personal story.”
If I’m honest, I didn’t think Neelu would approve that little slice of borderline racism. Guess I was wrong.
But she’s not an Islamist.
43 subscribers? Not 5,000, then 😀
He must be desperate as he’s admitted he didn’t believe there was anything going on in Hampstead and now he’s contacted Neelu who does??
But she can still be opposed to racism, right?
Morgan?

27 thumbs down now.

So sorry to hear that GOS. Us little people are never shown any appreciation from the head honchos at GCHQ
I do love a piece of juicy gossip so come on Angie spill the beans about yourself and Rupert
Well Christmas is just around the corner so i’m guessing he will come up with as many potential money makers as he can to make sure that he at least has a good festive period.
I don’t mind the death threats – it’s the grammar I can’t cope with.

He’s an unhappy little bunny, isn’t he.
Crespi is her ex-husband. Poor bastard.
So sorry to hear that GOS. There really are some evil people in this world and i hope that Karma does exist for their awful actions.
One word Paterson, TWAT.
I remember you talking about this before, Sam. So horrible what you went through and sad to know there are people out there like that. Good for you for pulling through and standing tall.

Queen Neelu (aka Chairman Chaudhari) update:
Mental health services in the UK really have gone to shit. But then again, if she is not an immediate danger to herself or others, they will leave her too it.
Not to mention that a lot of people use their phones for internet banking and lots of private information on the mini computers that are modern smart phones.
I wouldn’t trust anyone I didn’t know with an old mobile of mine for that reason, doesn’t matter if you format the phone, people can use recovery software to get banking and personal details.
Jeez Neelu is getting even more nuttier and incoherent (who would have thought that was even possible?)
Obviously the stress of losing her house is getting to her

Well, I’d be happy to donate a “cheese pizza”, Eugene.
Thank you but I don’t ever call myself a victim or a survivor. I think I must come from a long line of tough people who have faced adversity and survived by “compartmentalizing” bad events from the past.
I only wrote that as I find the notion of “recovered memory” as very odd as I can remember nearly every incident in my life, good and bad.
I’m also well aware of all the things they now talk about : “survivor guilt” and the idea that you feel some how responsible for something bad that has happened to you. So that’s a very positive thing they talk to victims of rape etc today.
I believe the notion they keep pressing upon victims of rape or child abuse : “their / your life has been ruined forever” a shocking thing to do to victims and also to keep repeating it is sending a message to future victims that should something terrible happen to them, their life has been ruined. People can be amazingly resilient.
But I can only talk for myself as we all respond differently to events, good or bad.
See the video here
Well glad this clears up a few things.

Two of the world’s best-known brands are withdrawing their advertising from YouTube and Google over fears they were featured on “inappropriate” and “exploitative” content featuring children.
It’s a start, but more needs to be done. Hit them where it hurts as they do not appear to take down videos reported by the public which contain this terrible content.
She is approaching the nuttiness of a squirrel turd.
Ah, I see what you’re saying now.
How to know things have gone completely to shit in your life: You start considering writing emails to Neelu.
Yes, both adults and children can quite easily be convinced that they have done things they did not really do. It’s not magic, it’s simply human psychology and the oddities of memory.
When I was a young pup, for example, my younger brother used to describe in great and vivid detail things that had happened to him, or that he’d seen. Only problem was, these things had all happened to me, before he was born. He wasn’t lying—he had just heard the stories often enough that he had managed to insert himself into them, in his memory.

“I believe the notion they keep pressing upon victims of rape or child abuse : “their / your life has been ruined forever” a shocking thing to do to victims and also to keep repeating it is sending a message to future victims that should something terrible happen to them, their life has been ruined”
Absolutely right. Yes, traumatic events can have long-lasting impacts, but “ruin your life”? Hardly. As you say, everyone reacts differently, and to make a blanket statement like that seems to me incredibly irresponsible.
I remember reading, for example, a study on resilience in children who’d been sexually abused. It seems that the a great deal depended upon how the adults in the kids’ lives reacted on learning of the abuse. When the adults blamed the children or went overboard expressing their horror, the children took that on board and had much worse outcomes than when the adults ensured the kids were safe, reassured them that they’d done nothing wrong, and told them they’d make every effort to find and bring their assailant to justice, but it wasn’t the children’s problem to deal with.
The children in the latter group showed very few signs of trauma when they were interviewed a year after the abuse had ended. They viewed it as “just something that happened”, not a defining moment in their lives.
I’m afraid this story is more common than many would like to believe. It’s very sad, but I’m glad she eventually faced up to the truth.
Nicely done!! Of course, I doubt it will improve the mood of the Schnozz that Schnorred.
For services to seamless,interminable prevarication and failure to impress even one jot by extreme over usage of random,official sounding terms,the academy of bandwidth wastage,hereby wish to formally announce that Neelu Berry really pushed the boat out with her latest outburst of entirely pointless old shite that has no substance or value whatsoever,apart from perhaps a few laughs.
If Rupert has been writing wingey letters to Neelu and thereby inviting abusive phone calls other communications to the prison, I wouldn’t class that as “good behaviour”. If he had any sense he would keep his head down. In fact, changing his name and staying away from social media would be a good move.
YOU DAMN RIGHT YOU ARE, LMAO 🙂
I don’t know what they think a protest outside of the family courts will do. He was warned many times not to do what he was doing. His constant videos & posts harrassing the social workers involved, even going to protest outside one person’s house & at the end of the road where another person lives was horrific, also his wishing that one would get cancer! Imo, his behaviour was escalating by his recent posts, (which I reported for harassment many many times, but they did not go against FB’s infamous community standards), he was becoming a real danger to the social workers involved.
Isn’t it such a good feeling to be appreciated by people 🙂
I’ve heard the expression ‘don’t cut your nose off to spite your face’. Would that apply to Paterson as well?
And refusal to accept his guilt or any responsibility for what he’s done surely can’t count in his favour in the early release stakes.
Go Keef (whoever you are)! LOL
Blimey, they’re all standing up to Mad Moo today, lol.

‘Lawyer’ is a catch-all term that covers both solicitors and barristers.
“The term Lawyer is a generic term used to describe anyone who is a Licensed Legal Practitioner qualified to give legal advice in one or more areas of law. Put simply, Solicitors and Barristers are both types of Lawyer.”

Disturbing stuff, Justin. It’s people like Angela and Christine who do this kind of crap to kids, saying they’re exorcising demons.
Are you familiar with this, by the way?
“Gambaga Witch camp is a segregated community within Gambaga township in the Northern Region of Ghana established in the 18th century to accommodate alleged witches and wizards who are banished from their communities.
The camp has about 25 round huts, and holds about 100 women. No health services or indoor plumbing are available.
Many women in Ghana’s witch camps are widows and it is thought that relatives accused them of witchcraft in order to take control of their husbands’ possessions. Other old women in the camp have been accused of using black magic to cause misfortunes in their community. Many women also are mentally ill, a little understood problem in Ghana. In Gambaga, the women are given protection by the local chieftain and in return, pay him and work in his fields.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambaga_Witch_camp
And this recent movie is about a 9-year-old girl who’s put in a similar camp in Zambia:
Take a look at her actually implanting a false memory in this adult. Imagine how easy it would be with a child.
Oh God. I wonder how many of his fellow prisoners he’s annoyed by claiming that he was put in prison for “nothing”…
Yes, it’s not terribly difficult to do. You can see Dr Shaw guiding the person toward the “memory”, shaping her answers by praising her when she delivers the “correct” (i.e. false) answer, using social pressure tactics, etc. And you can see that the woman whose memory she is “re-shaping” is stressed by the experience. Her face is flushed, she is fidgeting…but she’s still going along with what the interviewer is suggesting.
74. He’s on a roll!
I think Dawn might be her actual sister. Apparently Debs is as popular in her family as APD is in hers. About as welcome as a skunk at a picnic.
I think this is what we (those of us who complain on FB and you tube) should be focusing on….
In the immortal words of Charlotte Alton Ward, “Bollocks. Bollocks. Bollock. Wibble”.
Erm…this guy knows that HuffPost doesn’t actually pay, right? So saying Seaman “worked for” HuffPost is a bit like claiming that Angela Power-Disney is a journalist.
More like “they allowed his posts to be published on their site until they realised he was a complete nutter, at which time he was unceremoniously shown the door and they removed all his stuff to hide their shame”.
Jake – hahahaahhahahahaha. If he ever visits Angie he should keep his hand on his flower. Just sayin’.
Is that Jake’s way of saying ‘shut up and move on’?
Is Dee le Vesconte (who’s on her friend list) her sister too, do we know? Or perhaps another relative? I’ve always wondered.
Gaaads! That’s awful 🙂
When Ruby met Debbie…
Don’t worry David Seaman’s here to tie it into Pizzagate. Failing to realise, he is part of the problem.

That too, lol. For me, it was the fact that he’s expressing his well documented kiddy rape fantasies in the same breath as accusing us of being obsessed with sex. Which we’re not, by the way – he’s referring to Spiny’s meme there, which was a dig at the longstanding allegation that Robert Green’s involvement in Holliehoax may have been motivated by his sexual designs on Ms. Greig.

Dear ghost
The problem with traumatic memories is they are intrusive not repressed. Take a look at the shoah interviews all across youtube – incredible detail and clear on what they remember and dont remember. All in first person tense with details only someone who was there would remember and think salient. If holocaust survivors dont convince these wankers of the BS theory of repressed memory for trauma its probably because they think the holocaust didnt happen.
Your incredibly personal disclosures are typical- hope you have dealt with with this stuff. Sorry you had to.
😂 True!

When we first began listening to Jonathan Wedger’s stories of life as a cop in the rough underbelly of London, we noticed a few clangers, but given his apparent earnest sincerity we were inclined to think that perhaps he was just confusing a few small details, which would iron themselves out.
However, as his relentless campaign of self-promotion has worn on, with porky piled on porky, it’s become increasingly clear that something is very, very wrong.
For example, yesterday we watched Part 3 of his July interview with Redpill Phil. (Hey, better late than never.)
Starting at about 11 minutes, Wedger describes his work (should we say “alleged work”?) on the canalways of London:
Phil: You basically mentioned how a lot of paedophilia stemmed from canalways, because it was easy, because they’re old, they’re not really manned, I think that was the word that kind of stuck out to me. Do you still feel that now?
Jon: Yeah yeah yeah, I mean there’s loopholes….
Because the canals, I mean, they’re ancient transit routes, I mean [gestures at canal behind them] that thing there, it was 1798 that was set up. And because it’s so old, they go on to become parish boundaries, which then become local authority boundaries. In London, we’ve got boroughs, and each borough is its independent policing district.
Now we only have that in London. If you go to, say, Nottingham, Nottingham itself is one policing district. And to Leicestershire, that would be a policing district, right? So when the Sex Offenders Registry Act come out, someone who had either been convicted or cautioned for a Schedule 1 sexual offence, or had served time for one, had to sign on as a sex offender.
And they didn’t want to do that, for so many reasons. They also knew that at some point it’s going to come clamping down, and maybe they’ll get disclosed. So they were going missing. So they had a vast amount of sexual offenders going off the radar.
Some of them were transient, they would live in cars, and they were driving about, but it’s difficult in a car, you know, the police are going to stop you, it’s not taxed, you’ve got no land address, and it’s an uncomfortable life. But one of them [points to canal boat], they’re a self-contained unit. You can get water from a garage, there’s a garage over there, you get your electricity from a generator, you can buy your petrol over there, and you can move about.
Sounds pretty reasonable so far.
Oh, except that two years ago, Wedger told the Daily Star: “I found a lot of paedophiles were going off the radar. There was a loophole in the law that allowed them to live on canal boats without being on the electoral register.”
Not the Sex Offenders Registry, the electoral register. A small but important distinction. And funny that in two years it should morph from one to the other.
Canal rules and regs
Wedger goes on to describe how sexual offenders evade the law:
And in London, because of the borough system, that [over there] could be one borough, say that’s the borough of Hackney, and over here could be the borough of Newham. In the middle of that canal would be a borough boundary. And it will be in the middle. So that boat….
A sex offender has 28 days to register, from the policing district where they reside. So on Day 27, that man, all he’s got to do is put his boat over there, and he’s not broken the law. And that is what was happening.
Again, reasonable on the surface of it. It sounds like a clever way to avoid being tracked. Except that it’s not true.
We owe this insight to Twitter user @SouthLondonJohn, who pointed out that Wedger claims that the maximum time for a stay is 28 days. But within London, “short-term berths are in such demand that the maximum time for a stay is seven days’ time, but is usually only one day”.
Even outside London, the maximum time for a stay is 14 days.
Berths are much in demand, and if someone were to turn up at their pre-booked berth and find another boat there, “the Canal and River Trust (CRT) Enforcement Team would be on them”.
SouthLondonJohn also informed us that Wedger’s claim that the boats only had to move from one side of a canal to the other to evade the law is a practice known as “shuffling”, which is much frowned upon by the CRT.
We’re not saying that the CRT would catch every boater who violated this rule, but certainly along the busy canalways of London, they would be disinclined to overlook those who flouted the rules, if only to keep some semblance of order.
Jon: And the other thing about these boats—kids love ‘em.
Phil: I remember you talked about “Rosie and Jim”.
Jon: “Rosie and Jim”, yeah, so what you’d have on the windows of some of these boats, you’d have dolls. One of them is a fleur de lys badge, a Scout badge, so a Scout is taught that if you see that, it’s a safe haven. And again, look how much the scouting system has come to notice. They’re set up with benevolence, to help kids in deprived areas, but of course it gets hijacked, like everything gets hijacked. And of course kids would be drawn to it.
And I was told, ‘Look, there might be one or two on there, go and look for them, we’ll give you a few months, if you can get another two we’re happy’.
Well, within the first month I found 90. [1] And it was getting bigger and bigger. But then it started expanding onto the River Thames, and the boats on there, and then it started having links to, erm, all sorts of people.
And one of them became quite high profile. I think it was Charles Napier, that was linked into Peter (Hayman) and very high up people, [2] and you could see where it was going.
And I went into work one day, and the chief inspector said, “Jon, it’s closed”.
And I went, “Why?”
It was just unbelievably successful. And I was getting backing from the Paedophile Unit. [3] So much so, was my success on this unit, they actually took the legislation for judicial review, and got the initial registration for the first 28 days reduced to 14 days. [4] And then every month after that was 28 days, because of this problem that I’d highlighted. So that shows the impact it had.
Having established his basic lack of understanding about how the canalways of London operate, Wedger dives headlong into a series of bloopers. We’ve numbered them for easy reference.
[1] “Within the first month I’d found 90”.
90 what? 90 paedophiles? 90 unregistered sex offenders living on the canals? He doesn’t say. From the preceding paragraph, it seems he’s referring to paedophiles, but we can find nothing about gigantic canal-based paedophile rings on Google…except Wedger’s own claims.
However, assuming that he meant “90 unregistered sex offenders”, surely that would only have involved going to the CRT and asking for access to the names of licensed boaters. Possibly a day’s task, and hardly a brilliant bit of detective work.
[2] And one of them became quite high profile. I think it was Charles Napier, that was linked into Peter Hayman and very high up people.
The Charles Napier/Sir Peter Hayman link first became public in 2014. If Wedger is trying to claim that he had something to do with discovering this, we’d question how truthful he’s being.
By his own account in the Daily Star article, it was following his amazing success at catching (paedophiles and/or unregistered sex offenders) on the canals that he was transferred to the Vice Unit, which took place prior to 2010:
DC Wedger then said he was transferred to the Metropolitan Police’s clubs and vice unit but was told not to arrest underage girls.
He said he then found a magistrate who used to let off a specific pimp if she was pulled in by police, and he wrote a report on it in 2010 but was summoned to a senior officer’s office.
So perhaps we’ve misjudged Wedger. Maybe he’s really Dr Who, and we just didn’t recognise him without the TARDIS.
Incidentally, and we’ve pointed this out before, when a person is sent to magistrates court, they don’t have a choice of judges. And the judges there don’t choose their cases; they take what’s assigned to them. So how that “specific pimp” was consistently let off by one magistrate we really could not say.
[3] “I was getting backing from the Paedophile Unit”.
According to Wikipedia, “The Paedophile Unit is a branch of the Metropolitan Police Service’s Child Abuse Investigation Command, based at Scotland Yard in London, England. It operates against the manufacture and distribution of child pornography, online child grooming, and ‘predatory paedophiles online’, and organised crime associated with these”.
The focus of the Paedophile Unit seems to be online child sexual abuse, and nothing to do with the registration of sex offenders.
[4] “…they actually took the legislation for judicial review, and got the initial registration for the first 28 days reduced to 14 days”.
Wedger is referring here to the Sex Offenders Act 1997. In fact, the time allowance for initial registration under that Act was originally 14 days.
In 2003 that was revised to three days:
So it went from 14 days to three, not from 28 days to 14. Given that Wedger seems to think this was quite the achievement on his part, you’d think he’d remember that little detail.
It’s difficult to say whether Wedger’s factual errors are deliberate on his part, or whether they stem from mental illness, or a combination of the two. He has stated that he was put on sick leave with PTSD, and since we don’t know the details of that, we can’t comment on whether it could have left him with an inability to recall basic details in a coherent manner.
Unfortunately, though, he’s put himself in the public spotlight, and is fundraising on the basis of the stories he tells. Given that people have and will continue to donate to his various crowdfunding efforts, we believe that it’s important to fact-check his statements. His donors deserve at least that much.

105 thoughts on “Fact-checking Jon Wedger”
Dubious claims from a very questionable man. The degree of confusion and almost complete separation of his cobblers and actual facts are disturbing. That he openly knocks around with skilled boxer and garden gnome witchcraft enthusiast baloney Maloney is a definite nail in the coffin as far as his credibility goes. The crap he talks and his dismissal are most likely linked.
He does seem to be a bit confused about the details doesn’t he. 😦
Anyone who is promoted by Maloney is either as manipulative as he is or others really want it all to be true, or are vulnerable and don’t know any better. Some so called anti child abuse activists, are so manipulative, they know the art of grooming better than any paedophile. They are anti abuse activists in reverse, they are totally unable to debate anything and their only argument in defence of them selves to use the word paedophile protector
P.C Peel says:
Very illuminating and I’m going to be kind here and say Mr. Wedger is either somewhat confused or perhaps suffered from stress due to his work as he has made some very odd claims here and factual discrepancies.
I had a friend in The Met who for several years was in charge of one district for registering & monitoring those who had signed on to the Sex Offenders Registry. Areas all over the country are broken up into districts and each one comes under the supervision of one officer.
Now, these officers are chosen very, very carefully because they must be extremely discreet as the whole idea is to encourage those who have to sign on to not be afraid to liaise with that officer and place their trust in him/her as they ONLY deal with that officer during their term on the Register.
While details of registration, address etc are obviously recorded on the police computer these details ARE NOT accessible by just any other police officer except those at a very senior level such a chief inspector and even then they cannot access all details, they must, in turn, contact whichever officer is in control of that district. The whole notion of that register is for it to be confidential and in fact, the complete opposite of the USA system where the public can look people up.
ONLY that officer can access details although he may deputize another officer/s to make one of those discreet and unannounced calls upon an offender. Even then the officer in charge will only choose a PC who can be trusted to not reveal details to anyone else (and this is an offense in the force).
And no matter how many times fanatics ( I’m putting Wedger in this category) or politicians looking for a cheap newspaper headline (like the infamous Geoffrey Dickens MP who was all bluster and wind when waving his so-called “dossiers” in the air that proved to be nonsense) for a public style register ALL senior police have nipped that in the bud as being the very opposite of good policing which would make their job ten times harder.
So unless Wedger was at some time one of these officers in control of a certain area he could not possibly know the details of any registered offender or where they did or didn’t live. He could not access that information on the police computer or if he did, that is an offense in itself. There is no way he would know if one or 100 offenders lived on canal boats, or in Spain or in a barn and he could only know the names of those in a particualr area.
Speaking of Geoffrey Dickens: Wedger seems to be in this category. All Dickens so-called ‘evidence” was largely from fanatics writing him letters saying there was a Satanic Cult in the local Anglican Church or Mr. Blogs down the road had ten children hidden in the basement and so on. Dickens wasn’t stupid. He lived in a time when tabloids would run any old nonsense without proof. He waved his thick dossiers around as though they were real (another MP peeked in one once and said it was all blank paper) and the only time he was basically forced to hand over his dossier to authorities it proved to be just that- a compilation of gossip.
But in a sense that just fuels the imaginations of fanatics as when police or a Minster looks at the stuff and conclude there is basically nothing they can pin down, it’s then called a Cover-Up by The Mob.
# My friend was in that position for 5 years before he left the police to emigrate to Canada. Those in charge of Registers also are on general duties and he found the Register work pretty dreary as 95% of those on the Register comply with their obligations and it ends up being a lot of form filling and going back over old ground.
I can see Wedger probably formed these notions in his head without facts or evidence and it became an obsession which is the opposite to good policing as calm and considered minds are needed.
This is most definitely a fantasy:
Once again that is a specialist unit that is also very discreet for obvious reasons and they do not share information with other units unless there is some sort of crossover while investigating a suspected crime. An example may be a suspected drug dealer is also a suspected child sex offender. It’s a fantasy to say they would “give backing” to some other officer.
Wedger must think people are complete fools if they also don’t know units in The Met are very protective of their own turf.
Wedger keeps giving away clues that his time in the force must have been at a reasonably low level. While he may have been a DC he is exaggerating his position as senior officers from specialist unit s only deal with similar rank if they need to speak to another unit.
Indeed, the ex-copper in the Savile matter and the recent King discarded prosecution is renowned for calling anyone who dares to question his motives or actions a “pedophile protector”. And that includes senior Barristers who may question his methods. It’s the fall-back accusation of choice.
This fanatical mob who have ramped up the notion of protected SRA cults and so on have really thrived during the internet era where it’s spread like a wildfire. I’ve always thought that at some stage they will come a cropper. They are now attacking IICSA who have the unfortunate task of separating fact from fantasy and
collectively they have driven expensive lunatic investigations like the Ted Heath rubbish ( much of it is a hatred for the Tories) and disgracefully attacked a great war hero who is worth 1000s of these wretches.
Nice digging, EC 🙂
19:51 – “Don’t talk to me like I’m a conspiracy theorist, coz I’m not.”
Hmm. I’m starting to understand why Wedgie fell out with his superiors.

I find the most effective way to stay off the Electoral Register is simply not to register. It’s how I dodged the Poll Tax and I certainly didn’t have to live on a canal barge to do it.
The home owner/renter used to be responsible for ensuring that all those living there were registered, but guess what, nobody ever came into your home and checked. Now the individual is responsible to ensure they are registered, so it’s even easier not to be on it.
Are we really to believe that paedophiles on the run would allow or put themselves on the Electoral Register?
Michael Hames’ “The Dirty Squad” details the initial development of a dedicated Pedophile/ Child Sexual Abuse Images investigations unit within the Obscene Publications branch, which he oversaw & directed. I recommend it! But he retired in 1993, so it only covers the early history.
The “Spotlight On Abuse” archive of historic CSA reporting covers many dozens of cases & operations over the years. You can look for yourself, but I don’t recall ANY cases that involved unregistered offenders living in canal boats:
https://spotlightonabuse.wordpress.com/
Certainly, the recent football coach abuse tragedies don’t mention boats, nor the grooming gangs that exploited teen girls through fast-food outlets, nor the pedophilic clergy and boarding school cases.
I’d say Mr Wedger is full of crap, personally.
I wouldn’t recommend to anyone not to register, as it would wreck their credit rating. They’d struggle to get credit cards, loans or mortgages if they weren’t on the register.
Good luck with that, Neelu. Sigh
By the way, her allegations about that police officer being involved in child porn is way over the line, imo.
For anyone who missed the Angie-Heather video last night:
Good luck trying to find one single thing they say that’s true. And that’s not a joke – I mean that literally.
And as well as an abundance of bullshit, this one also contains a number of death threats to Steve Keys and his wife. Yup
I call BS on Wedger. We only have his uncorroborated word for any of his claims and, being nice, that has proved time and time again to be suspect.
In keeping with not letting the nut jobs trying to harass contributors to this site have more personal information than is necessary, I’m not going to reveal how but I have experience in regards to canal management.
Just try being an itinerant on a canal boat and see how far you get!
Peg Plunkett says:
That’s so true Farmer Giles, that’s why it is impossible to try to talk to any of them, They seem to have a block in their brain and just will not look past that block.

Just a bit, I’d say.
Yes, if you counter their arguments, they just expand their lies.
That’s fascinating info about your police friend. I had no idea that this is how the list is regulated, but it makes sense.
So he couldn’t have gone looking for offenders who weren’t on the list, as he would not have known who was or was not on it in the first place! In other words, his story is completely 100% made up nonsense.
LOL yes, I had to stop before I got to that bit, as this post’s word count was getting out of control. But I love how deeply sincere and stern he looks as he claims not to be a conspiracy theorist, right after having delivered a truckload of invented conspiranoid nonsense to his viewers.
Ah Scat, right on top of things as usual.
Fred the Weather Man Tolbot abused boys on a boat, on a trip to Scotland, and a former Head Master of a Prep School in Harpenden sexually abused boys on a canal boat, but it wasn’t any kind of ring or anything. What is this about the fascination with these Bullshiiters about abusing kids on boats? Certain people including Baloney have gone on for years about boys being raped on boats then thrown over the side, really? Where are the witnesses? Where are the bodies? If this was a true fact why isn’t/wasn’t anyone searching for these alleged boys drowned in the water? Even Baloney managed to tiie it in with the Hollie Hoax saying that Downs children where raped and drowned at sea. He said that on Lou Collins Radio thing, when he used to come on all out of breath blah blah blah. Seriously they are all full of shit.
Any guesses about what that was in aid of? I’m stumped.
You know, I wonder whether commenters like this are just religious nutters looking for a place to indulge their fantasies of being able to say all the filthy things that come into their heads? It’s almost as if they save them up and unload them on videos like this one.
Yes, I have absolutely no doubt that sexual abuse has taken place on canal boats (and boats in general), but Wedger’s fantasies are just made-up nonsense. Good question about why the nutters are so fascinated with this.
So Neelu is now adding serious defamation to her list of transgressions.
My advice to Sergeant **** of Barkingside is: get your solicitor now to send her letter notifying her you reserve the right to take legal action against her libels and that you will pursue her for legal costs.
As she now has a property undergoing repossession and she undoubtedly has several £100Ks tied up in equity your solicitor can always get a lien on the balance due to her until the matter is settled.
I’m not the foremost fan of the British police in its current state but no innocent officer deserves to be traduced in this manner or be defamed by some nutter on the internet.
You deserve REMEDY!
I had a friend who lived on a barge on the Thames in Chelsea but he had to move eventually because of the huge, humongous, frigging great rats that would emerge at low tide that frightened the life out of his small children (his- not kidnapped ones). It’s not the romantic lifestyle it’s cracked up to be. Pedo or not.
A pontificater writes.. says:
Yes, the way it works as my pal explained to me one night it actually makes a lot of sense. Remember most of the police are sane & sensible and understand that despite the media’s hyperventilated promotion of “pedos” offenses etc, the coppers just want the whole system to work.
The vast majority of those on the Register tend to be one-time offenders ranging from extreme offenses to relatively minor but nonetheless- they have to sign on. And the police have a job, under the legislation. to monitor these people. But they do understand it’s best to deal with them in a civil matter and to encourage them to fulfill their obligations under the law. Apart from the fact most police deal with some pretty sick stuff in their time so they don’t want to make their job any harder.
Mistakes happen but in reality, there is little reason for any offender to go ‘underground”. Why?. It just makes them vulnerable to further arrest and more punishment. The police actually prefer neighbors etc don’t know someone next door has a conviction (unless there is some child involved under the legislation) as it’s just another headache for them if locals start harassing them.
And furthermore, Mr. Wedger’s claims re canal boats etc is pretty wacky stuff. The vast majority of those on the Sex Offenders Register tend to be working class or at best middle class. They either live in council housing or their own homes and the notion of upping stakes, for no reason, is a real complication. They have jobs etc and moving is a big deal.
One of my pal’s real beefs was that he thought all the monitoring, in the end, did not prevent crime as he thought a real determined pedophile could be so cunning he could plot and plan a crime and no-one could really stop him (her) or at the other end of the scale, someone could commit an on-the-spur offense and all the monitoring in the world could, sadly, not prevent it.
Mr. Wedger seems to have come up this quite wacky thesis and perhaps drove his superiors mad.
# the cop who manages the register is usually the Crime Manager.
I noticed that Wedger brought up the subject of Rosie and Jim from Tots TV he just happen to name drop them in for good measure, what a load of old bollocks. I have a suspicion he will eventually disappear like the rest of em in the end, five minutes of fame, mugs and tee shirts and all that.
Obviously, but paedophiles on the run don’t have those concerns.
It’s unfortunate (but understandable for mental illness) that the police can’t issue statements about why people “leave”, specifically when they go on to make claims such as this.
Members of the public generally hold the view that police officers tell the truth, so when one says they “left” because of [insert whistle-blower story here], being an ex-copper adds weight to their story.
Look at how troofers salivate over Ray Savage being an “ex-detective” during the Hampstead hoax.
Course you have, luv…
LOL, one of her mates has called her out on her bullshit 😀
This could get interesting…
Interesting thing to hear from someone who frequently promotes Aangirfan, Butlincat and Lift the Veil…
LOL, I see Malcolm and Belinda have kissed and made up:
I wonder whether Belinda condones Malcolm’s slander, death threats, bullying and misogynism.
Yes, I think people like Wedger know the public are fascinated by police lore, so they play on that. I noted that at one point he was referencing Serpico, who to my knowledge really was a whistleblower in the States.
The “standard” baseline for being on the register is 2 years for accepting a police caution; minimum 5 years for a guilty plea/court verdict; 10 years for middling offences and usually lifetime for anything involving contact with a minor (grooming and upwards).
Employment legislation and Universal Credit rules also makes it pretty tricky to “disappear” unless an offender can magic up a new National Insurance number and if they can do that then they are most likely to be the sort where a register wouldn’t be a deterrent anyway!
He’s acting out the video of when the Police came to his home and warned him a death threat regarding him had been received by the Police. He wouldn’t let them in and made them stand behind the bins and read it to him.
In this though, he’s implying the Police told him a lie. Not sure why though.
FD is very perceptive!
I hope Brian Harvey sees this.
EastofEden says:
People say Baloney works for Ian Puddick.
I think Baloney and his group are far more dangerous than people assume. They targeted Brian Harvey deliberately causing paranoia which could have led to Harvey comitting suicide.
Plus it would not surpise me if people who did that to Harvey also used the old cult tactic of spiking Harvey with LSD.

Eddie seems blissfully unaware that it was his hero Nathan Stolpman who got his dear leader arrested.
Yes, assuming the person either has to ‘sign on’ or receive some kind of state benefits it would be difficult for them to disappear wouldn’t it. That’s a good point.
The cover photo on the video – a completely mad loon and her drunken friend?
Wedgie’s not happy with his critics, lol:
She doesn’t want Arthur to post on her family profile, would that be her public profile that she posts all her conspiracy rubbish, false flags, etc. on!
That’s not being a very nice friend Angela, do you think Arthur isn’t good enough for your personal family profile? Tut, tut, tut!
And on which she frequently posts crap about her family! Go figure
Someone bored.. says:
And that’s what makes his claim so bizarre.
Even being on the Register won’t stop a person offending if they are determined. How could it?. They don’t keep tabs on them 24/7. Just their address, if they move, contact details, car rego, perhaps social media accounts, their job, if they travel abroad or elsewhere for more than a certain time and so on. But none of that is going to stop a person abusing. They only “sign on” once a year but can have spot checks.
I reckon Wedger has dreamed up a scenario and convinced himself Britain’s canals are awash with pedos inviting kids aboard. Maybe a tugboat captain was mean to him when he was young and it’s festered away over the decades. Kids are pretty savvy these days. Can’t see them being enticed aboard a big barge by some gentleman.
Isn’t that where he took his famous bike ride? Along the canals?. Maybe it’s still a real obsession. Why didn’t Baloney go with him and film Wedger’s covert detecting of the Pedo Barges? Make a good film. With any luck, they’d get attacked by a huge hideous rat that lives by the canal which would make fab filming.
I’m sure Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders would be delighted their images have been used as the thumbnail on such a nasty video…NOT.
Are they on Twitter? Maybe they should be told.
Exactly, I would hazard a bet that her ‘estranged’ family are having a good laugh at that bit of hypocrisy!

I can just see Maloney investigating boats in his inane histrionic manner . . . Look at that, they’ve got a flower painted on the side, the sick nonces. This one here has a nodding dog in the window, that’s to attract kids. There’s one there with a brush. That’s representative of the brooms witches use to fly, that’s evidence of witchcraft. This one here is black and has red stripes, that a nazosadist paedomaniac color scheme.

More hilarious dot joining… and more nasty threats to Steve too.
@Farmer Giles
In addition to those cases you mentioned involving abusers acting alone involving abusing kids on boats, there is unfortunately evidence of at least two organised networks who abused kids on boats or yachts – I speak of the Azimuth Trust cases, and the abusers who infiltrated the Jersey Sea Cadets (see links below).
That is not to say I take the likes of Baloney seriously. If he has any evidence of such activity encompassing not just kids being abused on boats, but thrown aboard also, then he should go to the cops. Blabbing about it on social media as he does actually is worse than useless, as it essentially tips off the perpetrators (if indeed there are any) to destroy any evidence (if indeed there is any).
https://spotlightonabuse.wordpress.com/category/azimuth-trust/
https://statesassembly.gov.je/AssemblyReports/2017/R.59-2017%20Independent%20Jersey%20Care%20Inquiry%20Report%20%20-COMPLETE-.pdf
And as well as the death threats, Heather appears to be boasting that she had some guy killed and put in an unmarked grave. I’m sure the police will be interested in that one.
Btw, are Baloney and Wedger bringing Ted Heath into all of this?
Fwiw, I downloaded all the contemporaneous reports from the Daily Mirror regarding the drownings of two yachtsmen when Morning Cloud 3 went down. The conspiracy theory that Heath was throwing kids over-board from his yachts after abusing them SEEMS to have arisen because there was some understandable confusion initially over how many yachtsman were lost, and one of the bodies was never recovered.
The yachtsmen weren’t kids, they were stout hearty yachtsmen in their thirties who died tragically. I am no expert on boating, but as I understand it, there simply wouldn’t have room to stash kids in the galley in the types of yachts that Heath owned. It simply wouldn’t have been logistically possible, even if Heath had wanted to.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_Cloud
Regardless of whether one liked or loathed Heath’s policies, to bring all this up again is an insult to the families of the yachtsmen, and the people mounting the conspiracy theory should stop it. If they have any actual evidence of a cover-up, and if they genuinely believe what they are saying, they should go to the cops.
Some really nasty, slanderous stuff about Sheva @ 52:53
Just to correct myself, one of the yachtsmen who tragically drowned was 23 – Heath’s godson, Christopher Chadd. Not in his thirties, but not a juvenile either.
El Coyote, I have emailed you the contemporaneous news reports from the Express.
Got them, thanks!

While I don’t know that Wedger and Maloney have explicitly brought Heath into it, the above is our discussion on the infamous RAINS list, which contains Heath’s name among many others.
Or Hampgrooming?
She certainly encouraged it.
See the boat…. what boat ????? It’s normal isn’t it, for a boat to go alongside a swimmer ????? So where’s the films of actual swimming ? Maybe someone should let the Jersey press know and check with their lifeguarding people, if they are aware of this swimathon, for his safety and success ! LOL.
Oops, Scilly Isles for his silly swim, if it’s as real as the bike ride……….. unless all those people who waved and shouted and cheered for him along the way, can share their photos, please ……..surely they are all over Facebook, no ?
Utter garbage, if I hadn’t come so far, that could really be damaging….Just proves they stalk survivors groups to troll, harrass and humiliate them, like abusers do. She’s taken bits and twisted, left things out, added bits, vile cnut…… That is the kind of treatment that we get from abusers and everyone that knows how it works will see that…………. I will make sure that all networks that I can reach get this and warn their members…..Not that any havn’t already got Angie & co on their radars.
Eddie is NOT ok………. using children as clickbait, like so many others, disgusting……… Brian Harvey, please wake up and don’t let them use you to further Belinda Muckenzies’ sick campaign.
I don’t get the problem above with Wedger not getting all his facts right. He’s a copper after all.

Anonymous Reflector says:
Jonathan Wedger is a bizarre fantasist and a useless actor. I think he is a fake Christian with a shady Police background. No one has seen any film footage of his Scilly Swim Challenge around the Scilly Isles. He is scared of a confrontation with Brian Harvey because he knows Brian will ask him some very direct questions that will immediately expose Jonathan Wedger as a fake, a fraud and a subversive nasty individua who hangs around Bill Maloney because they are psy-op shills. Many people are now questioning whether Wedger actually worked for the Metropolitan Police for 25 years. In one interview he did, Wedger mentioned he ‘retired’ from the Police in August 2017. Yet he states he met Bill Maloney from Lewisham, 8 years prior to his retirement. So does that mean he has known Bill Maloney since August 2009? Wedger says he met Bill Maloney in 2010. Something does not make sense in his statements because his backstory is bullshit and because his memory is so bad he cannot recollect information correctly. Maloney sure is worried and has gone underground again and many think he and Maria Maloney are hiding out in their caravan at Leysdown-On-Sea on the Isle of Sheppey in East Kent, whilst Wedger has become his replacement and is doing an even more useless job than Baloney did.
Something else that most people should know about Jonathan Wedger is that he is an alcoholic and a heavy smoker. Now if he was a devout Roman Catholic Christian, he would not drink or smoke. Frankly his usage of the Christian moralizer persona is both pathetic and silly. He comes across as humble but under the surface is malicious and likes to blame people like Brian Harvey for his own personal dysfunctionalities. In reality Jonathan Wedger is an evil lunatic who has caused all his own problems concerning the negative criticism he has brought upon himself. Wedger stated he was ‘taking on the might of the British Establishment’ in that pompous and arrogant video he did. The British Establishment is the British Royal Family, the House of Windsor. So if he is getting alot of flack, then that is because he has inferred that they are basically Satanic paedophiles. What a joke. Both him and Bill Maloney should be prosecuted and sent to prison for the sick psy-op they have created. Andrew Ashworth was bullied and verbally abused by Bill Maloney. Jonathan Wedger used to pick Andrew up from Kings Cross Station after he had traveled from Kingston-Upon-Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Wedger would then drive Andrew to Bill and Maria’s ex-council flat in Lewisham where Maloney would script Andrew.
Both Maloney and Wedger are psychopaths and as usual Shill Baloney has gone to ground again and this time has left his protege Nathan Numnuts in the limelight. Bill Maloney has friends and contacts in Chatham in the Medway Towns in North Kent, Margate and Cliftonville in Thanet, South Kent and hangs out in the Isle of Sheppey alot. Like many other people I believed in Bill Maloney but he is a traitor to the real UK Truth Movement who has destroyed the credibility of real CSA survivors and now Jonathan Wedger is doing exactly the same. Where are the other 299 Police Whistleblowers then John? Where are their testimonials? What has the ITNJ achieved? Why don’t you phone Brian Harvey and make amends for the way you have treated him? Your a fake Wedger and you know it.
My apologies for not approving this comment sooner. It got stuck in the spam filter and I only just saw it.
Thanks for your views on Wedger. I agree that he’s a poser and a hypocrite, and that Maloney has done more harm than good. However, I’ve had to remove a statement in which Wedger is accused of an illegal activity, since we have no evidence that this is so, and we don’t make this sort of claim against people, no matter how much we disapprove of them.

Jon Wedger?
If someone threatens to expose the criminal activity of evil doers they will do their utmost to discredit that persons credibility..
I wonder how many of Jon wedgers attackers have canal boats and or indulge in the vile sexual abuse of young children.
Ah, there it is. I’d wondered how long it would be before we got the inevitable “you disagree with him so you must be one of the people he’s ‘exposing'”.
It’s an old trick, well-worn but apparently durable.
But since you’re here, perhaps I could ask you to tell us exactly which of Wedger’s critics have canal boats or have been convicted of child sexual abuse? This would be very useful and enlightening information, I’m sure.
I did like their use of “and/or” which implies they think that merely owning a canal boat is the epitome of criminal evil! 🤣🤣🤣
P.S. As a former canal trustee, that accolade is only awarded to those who leave lock gates open and drain a section. 👹
P.P.S. I have never owned a canal boat! 😏
Anonymous Commentator says:
When Jonathan Wedger mentions canal boats being shunted across the canals to the other side, this is total B.S. Firstly canal boats are usually narrowboats. In a huge city like London the nature of the canal networks means that it is viitually impossible to shunt a narrowboat across the other side of the canal because most parts of the canal networks have the boats moored upon one side whilst the canal traffic uses the other side as the waterway. Shunting a narrowboat across the canal would cause an obstruction and also other boat owners would either politely confront the boat owner or report them to the UK Canal & River Trust (CRT) which took over from British Waterways in 2012. They would then take their details anyway and regularly did that in the 1970s and 1980s because the boating community is actually very close knit and therefore anonymity would be out of the question. Jonathan Wedger has largely fabricated his ‘canal boat story’ and it is badly researched. If Numbnuts had done his research he would know that anyone who owns a narrowboat or a widebeam boat on the canals must have a canal licence with the CRT which they have to renew every 12 months. Hence their details would be recorded and they would lose their anonymity.
Another B.S. aspect to Wedger’s waffle is the idea that the canal networks in London were somehow discreet hideaways and the Metropolitian Police didn’t go near them. Actually there are regular police patrols along the towpaths in London. If there were paedophiles sexually abusing children on narrowboats then the police would increase their presence in those areas. Jonathan Wedger comes across as arrogant and yet I do not think he is actually a very intelligent man. Again that is another sign something is wrong because a man who apparently worked for the police at New Scotland Yard for 25 years would be alot more savvy and intelligent than he has shown himself to be and would recall facts with far more accuracy. He seems to be a very bad judge of character and also he cannot take criticism very well. Where are all his police buddies who were apparently going to become valiant police whistle blowers? He sure is desparately wanting to be noticed and obviously wants to reinvent himself. At least Bill Maloney attended the Rose Bruford College in Sidcup, Kent and learned his rather average acting and film making skills there. Wedger does not even have any of these ‘talents’ and yet he tries to pass himself off as constantly being credible when in reality he is a ridiculous individual.

Investigating the ‘Original Dirty 30’
One of the more startling comments which Angela Power-Disney made last week to interviewer Jason Goodman of “Crowdsourcing the Truth” was her revelation that at the inception of the Hampstead SRA hoax, a group of about 30 people had been involved in promoting the Hampstead Research blog run by “Jacqui Farmer”.
During that interview, Angela said, “The details are so complex on this case that I worked as part of a team of about 30 people that were in it for the long haul”.
We probably should not have been surprised at this. It turns out that she has made several references, veiled and not so veiled, to this inner sanctum group in the past, and yesterday the YouTube channel “Take That as Gospel” began posting a fascinating series of videos which corroborate and elaborate on Angela’s claim.
Getting to know Belinda
In the first video, above, “Take That as Gospel” sets the scene, with an interview with Mel Ve in which Angela describes her early relationship with Belinda McKenzie:
…[A]s I keep harping back, one, I believe the children, and two, I stayed in Belinda’s home for five days.
I’m the kind of person that asks difficult questions, I asked difficult questions including going all the way back to Iran Aid, and the money and so on, and based on five days face to face, and interacting around Hampstead for a year and a half, I find the lady’s biggest crime was intermittent naïveté.
And as Mel said, it’s better to be naïve and sometimes get things wrong than it is to just protect your public profile and do nothing. I actually am full of admiration for the lady. You know, I am. I am.
And I published online my findings from asking the direct questions about Iran Aid, and Belinda was very forthright with me about inheriting four million and allocating a million to make her dream come true, or making a difference in the world, and then having been overextended in that, possibly through naïveté, and having been hammered. And as a victim myself of an online smear campaign, I can empathise.
I think what we need to remember in this business ongoingly, is that things are not always as they seem.
Indeed, in the Hampstead SRA hoax, things have almost never been what they seemed, so points to Angela for accuracy on that one.
Down to brass tacks
In the second video, again speaking to Mel Ve, Angela begins to spell out the workings of the “Dirty 30” more fully.
Starting at about 01:20, Angela says,
Just to say that a researcher that’s temporarily resting, because we all need to catch our breath on this, Charlotte Alton Ward, Jacqui Farmer, Jacob Farmer, she’s many personas, although she’s never too shy to say ‘this is who I am’, she’s done jail time for whistle-blowing and campaigning in the past. [1]
She left the UK in order to safely broadcast from Brazil [2], and you know Iceland [3], and she actually did go there. She was a huge part of this campaign.
She ran a blog called Hampstead Research, which is what the troll opposition mimicked with their Hoaxtead Research site, in which in my opinion they tried to mimic the Hollie Greig outcome, which was to put it to bed as a hoax.
But we actually did go there in terms of forensic analysis. We had professionals volunteering their time globally. I mean these were professional court experts, university professors, forensic analysts and so on. The amount of evidence that we accrued was phenomenal.
Now she managed to broadcast safely for a year, and then did get hacked [4]. She did get credible death threats. Her wonderful husband, you know, supports her and supports her, and then he freaks out and says look, your life’s on the line. And they withdraw for a while. I’m hoping she comes back into the fray.
And we do have 90% of the evidence, at least, downloaded, so even though your perspective, and CCN’s perspective is we don’t need details, we just want to know if the children are okay, the evidence does exist, which not only corroborates, it magnifies and multiplies the children’s disclosures.
In typical Angela fashion, this is a mixture of fact and fiction. Let’s take the inaccuracies one at a time:
[1] she’s never too shy to say ‘this is who I am’, she’s done jail time for whistle-blowing and campaigning in the past.
We beg to differ. Jacqui Farmer was extremely reticent to identify herself.
She went to the trouble of electronically distorting her voice on her various videos, which made them resemble particularly awful examples of Vogon poetry. One of this blog’s first major group projects was to identify Jacqui Farmer as Charlotte Alton Ward, which we managed to do within a couple of months.
To our knowledge, although Jacqui/Charlotte committed criminal harassment as the author of her blog, she had never been arrested or imprisoned.
[2] She left the UK to broadcast from Brazil.
Untrue. She lived with her husband, Jacco de Boer, near Paramaribo in Suriname. Granted, Suriname shares a border with Brazil, so we’ll grant Angela half-points for guessing the correct continent.
[3] …and Iceland.
Abe and Ella, not Charlotte, had two blogs which were hosted by Orange, an Iceland-based company, but they did not live in Iceland; they were then, as they are now, in Spain. They used the Icelandic host because we complained to Wix, their original blog host, who responded and removed the blogs. But it was nothing to do with Charlotte Ward.
[4] She managed to broadcast safely for a year, and then did get hacked.
Not quite. Charlotte published her blog on WordPress.com, and it was removed by WordPress for violating the law in June 2015. She set up an new blog on a private host, which ran for a few more months, and then on Hallowe’en 2015, she stopped publishing. She did leave the blog up as a “resource”.
When we checked a couple of months later, we discovered that the entire blog had disappeared without a trace, even in web archive. This led us to believe that it might have been hacked, but we have never had confirmation of that one way or another.
Who was involved in the original group?
In addition to the obvious early members—Belinda and Sabine; Abraham and Ella; Charlotte Ward and Jacco de Boer; Brian Gerrish; Wesley P.P. Hall; blogger Henry Curteis; and of course Angela herself—Angela drops some tantalising hints:
We have a pretty good idea who the “forensic analyst” was: we identified forensic linguist Essien Popoola as a member of the inner circle some time ago. Mr Popoola was involved with a university, but we don’t know whether he was a lecturer.
Could the “court expert” have been ex-police sergeant Ray Savage? So far as we know, he’s the only person involved in promoting the hoax who had any sort of quasi-legal background or contacts. We do know that he claimed to have sat with Ella Draper for three hours and interviewed her; this was probably after the children had been taken from her care, in autumn/early winter 2014.
“Take That as Gospel” suggests that Mel Ve and Alfred Lambremont-Webre were also among the original Dirty 30, and this does seem to fit, as both were very early promoters of the hoax.
Why the Original Dirty 30 should be concerned
Two of Angela’s statements to Mel in this video ought to send a chill into anyone who was involved at that time. First, she says, “The amount of evidence that we accrued was phenomenal”; and later follows up with “And we do have 90% of the evidence, at least, downloaded”.
Currently, then, much of what was downloaded by the “group of experts” (aka the hoax promotion cartel) is likely to be found on one of the three computers currently in the possession of police—one belonging to a person we cannot currently discuss; another belonging to Wesley Hall; and the third belonging to Angela herself.
We only have space here to look into the first two of “Take That as Gospel’s” video collection on this topic, but we highly recommend that interested readers watch the entire series, which contains footage that is new to many of us.
This could be about to get very interesting indeed.

I would love to know what communications passed between Angela and Belinda, if records can be extracted either from a pc in Guardia hands or from a court warrant to either the broadband provider/ email host and whether the prosecution team are following that angle up.
These people endlessly discuss conspiracies, but are quite possibly, innocent until proven guilty, involved in one themselves.
Where does the data trail lead ? What does it establish ? Was someone calling the shots and coordinating things ? Was malicious gossip, worse that what we already know about (snuff videos nobody can produce that exist only in written form), passed around to incite mass harassment and targeting of a subject the police/social services/high court judge exonerated years ago in a fictitious murder/rape/cannibalism case ?
This could be an iceberg, with 90 percent of it’s mass under water and unseen to anyone so far.
This could be a much bigger case than simply the Hampstead affair, it could be the precident setting trial case for conspiracy to stalk, harass, defame and slander people online.
It could be legal history in the making and a test case for lawyers and judges to study for years to come.
All you guys n gals can be rightly proud of your 3 year plus involvement, tireless research and consistent work to catalogue so much of the material.
The next 6 to 18 months could see the fruits of a long campaign ripen as justice looks set to be served.
Nice one everybody.
Indeed this was and is a vast conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. But that is always a very difficult accusation to prove as it must be shown that the participants actually knew that they were promoting a false or criminal narrative. There appear to be some known nutters involved in this matter but others appear to be far too intelligent to ignore one factor:
That the British High Court has twice completely absolved a father of any crime in respect of the Hampstead case and concluded a conspiracy did take place to torture and force two children to parrot a series of falsehoods to target numerous innocent parents. (as opposed to say the H***y G***g matter which never got near a court (except to jail one participant in that hoax)
I’m continually amazed that this mob and especially APD simply ignore that pertinent fact although I reckon it finally dawned upon Charlotte Ward and that is why she eventually got cold feet and abandoned her endeavor.
Still, it’s very good of APD to be laying out a timeline and producing so much evidence, even if some is suspect, for any cop who may be investigating this matter.
APD would play Russian Roulette with a round in every chamber. She doesn’t realise she is not giving herself any chance at all. Not even got a lawyer yet! Seeing both her and Neelu in deep shit is a joy to behold. If only Rubbergums Tracey Morris was in the same Cesspool my life would be complete.
Professor Van Hesling says:
I get quite annoyed with This Mob and their “experts”, most who are complete phonies with a dodgy past which is often very hard to pin down. It’s personal of course, recalling my relatives that were ripped off for some savings by the Olympic Games fake shares gang of which the odious Chris Fay was a member of. They are simple people and you can always say ” a fool and his money…” but even fools need protecting from these frauds who cause so much damage and distress.
And Mr. Popoola is one. I have utter disdain for people like him who attempt to coast in on dodgy qualifications when others must grind away for decades studying their chosen path at legitimate universities etc.
His academia.edu paper has now disappeared. I wonder if Hoaxstead had something to do with that?. But even academia.edu is as dodgy as they come. Started as a reasonable idea it became a place for every ratbag under the sun (they have over 65 million “research papers” now published) to put up “research” with no critical, peer or expert analysis. And they get away with it because the domain “academia.edu” was registered years before “edu” was attached to legitimate websites publishing peer related research. They’re one of the few non-accredited ones (US laws strictly apply) that coasted in before the law was established so any fraud can post their rubbish and claim it is on a prestige “edu” website.
Great digging, EC. Thank you
Really, Matt? Or do they just object to you using your own children in your last two hate videos, you sick bastard?
Oh dear, I think Cathy’s pants are on fire again…
Another nice bit of self-incrimination:
Quite a random one, this. She’s suddenly appeared on this thread from 4 days ago, where I’d been replying to Mary McDermott and there’s nothing about acclimatising to prison on there. I had made a joke on a completely different thread (on a different video, I think) about how Angie should watch some ‘Prisoner Cell Block H’ videos to get some tips, though.
Another homophobic dot-joining extravaganza from Cat Splat. Seriously, check this one out – it’s a hoot!
OK, yesterday I reported three comments on Facebook – one threatening to burn down Neelu’s old house, one threatening to break in and one threatening to beat up the builder with a baseball bat. All three came back as not breaching Facebook’s community standards and have been allowed to stay up.
They haven’t even bothered replying to my report of Tracey’s video, in which she made a number of threats of extreme violence. It’s been 4 days now. Hey ho
I think November will assure people of the illegality. Problem is these people are a bad combination of stupid and borderline mentally ill. They just treat legal action as a giant cover up that proves the hoax. It’s gone on too long and I’m glad the father has made a report and pressed charges. The Guardia aren’t taking it lightly and hopefully there’ll be a domino effect.
I am watching a series called the 12 Monkeys involving a sinister global cult, the Satan Hunters could be called the 30 Monkeys.
Of course not, the media has moved on about online bullying, and so for farcebook its back to business as usual, now that the public gaze isnt on them (until the next teen suicide- then they will trot out the same tired old excuses about more moderation, better reporting etc- just like they did the last couple of times….)
They wont do a damned thing until they are FORCED to by legislation and the threat of major fines/blocking
They aren’t lying about these posts not breaching their’community standards’- they are merely telling the truth…. their standards really are that low and they have no intention of raising them either
SV, if you get the chance and if you haven’t seen it before, check out the original Terry Gilliam movie – it’s a cracker.
LOL, how appropriate!
(another 12 monkeys viewer)
I like that orange
That film 12 monkeys was ripped off from an 80s movie called trancers.

Are you sure? I always thought it was based on the 1962 French film ‘La Jetée’.
They’re not, lol.
Neelu quote just added to the Number Crunching with the Fruitloops page, thanks to a good spot by Team MKD…
“In October last year I claimed 6 million pounds from them and under Biblical law it gets 7-fold, so it’s now £72 million that they owe my family”
The Hanging Judge says says:
I now think Ange is like someone I once knew who was a supporter of the losing side in a court case. This often happens with people who have little reality of how the law works (Angie?).
This person really thought they can contact the judge and explain that the decision was wrong and the other party had lied etc.
They had no concept that the only way a court decision could be reversed was by appealing and even then you have to have pretty good reasons in most matters quite apart from the funds and a solicitor that will only take it on if there is a possibility of winning.
This person genuinely believed there was perhaps an office somewhere you just went to and said: “I’d like this court matter reversed thank you”..a bit like returning goods to a shop for a refund.
I think APD thinks that if she is charged with harassment that she can possibly get up and say she is innocent and then lay out all her “evidence” as she calls it, & that RD and all the Hampstead residents are guilty. I think she believes she can re-run the Hampstead matter that’s already been decided ( twice) in the UK courts.
But the reality is- even if the father or anyone else had been convicted of some crime (they haven’t and won’t be in this matter) they are still entitled to privacy and to be free from harassment. Even Jack the Ripper.
Excellent point, Sam
What’s the opposite of a Koala Stamp of Excellence and can Angela have one, please?
Staying true to the Antipodean wildlife motif, can I propose the Stinging Jellyfish Stamp of Shame?
Can you smell the desperation?
That’s a re-post of a highly vitriolic video in which she attacks Steve Keys, Kilrush and others.
She’s also re-posted another one, a really nasty one that was made by Hope Girl back in March, and she seems blissfully unaware that it’s blocked in the UK for defamation 😂
And she still seems to think going after us will somehow help with her case. She hasn’t yet grasped that we’re not the ones prosecuting her, so it’s completely pointless.
“Hello? HELLOOOOOO? is there anyone out there who still loves me? Anyone?”
Let’s just say I’m glad she’s no longer measuring medication dosages. 😳
Rumpole says:
Peadar Tobain, is a Sinn Féin TD for West Meath, most recently making headlines as being on the wrong side of the Repeal the eighth amendment referendum in the south, SF are known as a party of member discipline but he rebelled and campaigned against abortion reform making a series of fairly right wing Catholic speeches about denying women choice, for info Ireland voted overwhelmingly to repeal the eighth and allow access to safe and legal abortion. He’s basically a right wing pro lifer, I’ve no idea why APD has included him in that list, I do recall when TM and the other lady were making pests of themselves outside Alder Hay during the Alfie Evans situation they kept calling on the pro lifers to join in, is there some link to the hoaxers and the anti choice movement? I’m amazed that people who say they’re campaigning for victims of sex abuse also appear to believe those victims if made pregnant via rape should be forced to give birth against their will.
She’s tagged Sabine? Good luck with that, Angela 🤣
Here’s what I’m thinking about APD’s situation. As the Gardaí continue their investigations a lot of things will become clear to them about her alleged advocacy for survivors of CSA….I believe they will see her for the fake she is.
I’m not sure what you’ve read or heard about the pope’s visit to Ireland…in parts it was a joyous event, but bittersweet. The national conversation during the whole weekend was all about the survivors and LGBT community….there was sorrow, there was anger and every Irish person in the land, including policemen and policewomen, listened and empathised, felt the surivor’s pain.
Can you imagine how the investigation team, raw from the weekend must be feeling discovering what a fucking shithead APD truly is…..I think they’ll be justifiably angry with her.
I fully support this and will put a motion of support at the next meeting of the Koala Stamp Awards governing committee who meet around 6pm every afternoon at the local pub (Saloon Bar)
Can’t be, that’s in black n white.
Pro-lifers are very rigid about their particular stance which as you point out smacks of hypocrisy. I’ve always thought of those sorts of holy rollers as the type who simply like to feel superior to others because they follow the word of God so closely….it’s that exact blinkered attitude which did a good job of oppressing Irish people for so long.
The connection between pro-lifers and hoaxers? Kindred spirits.
Oh dear, she really thinks she’s exempt from legal consequences because she has misinterpreted what a copper said to her.
And what’s more- it seems she has taken that as the green light to continue a vicious campaign of harassment against the complainant.
I very much doubt that anyone connected to Hoaxtead would send death threats to anyone.
Mind you- I can’t really trust my cat Whiskers who is actually my registered “carer”, receives a government pension for that and just spends the lot on booze (cheap Vodka) and basically acts as though I’m HER carer. She does hit the keyboard late at night sending fake profiles to PlentyOfFish. God only knows what she’s on about at times.
Anyone who has sent death threats to APD needs the to have their collar felt. There is, of course, a little matter of proving it.
I think three hours of her babbling under caution proved her shithead status already.
Peadar Tóibín wouldn’t touch her with a bargepole, she has tried to involve him before in her allegations but he ignored her as has her repeated attempts to involve Emily Napper.
Yes, I agree. If anyone has actually sent death threats, threats of bodily harm, or anything resembling that to any of the Hampstead hoaxers, I hope they are found and reported to police.
That said, I also agree that Angela would be very wise to find herself a decent solicitor, close her computer, and find something else with which to occupy her time while she awaits the DPP’s decision re charges.
Will she do this? I strongly doubt it. No attention to be gleaned that way.
Yes, she does try, but most who are aware of her understand that she’s best left alone.
I don’t agree with him on the abortion issue but Peadar Toibin isn’t insane.
Btw, how do I get fadas on my keyboard? I feel like a bit of a dunce not knowing how particularly as I am Irish.
“Use of toilet without my permission”.
Why is she complaining? At least they are house-trained.
Oh dear Angie’s latest video on YT is something to behold.
I can’t actually follow most of it as the weaving & dot joining got a bit beyond me but there was mention of Anagrams about someone who allegedly posts on here.
So I ran “Angela Power-Disney” through an anagram generator and Lo & Behold I think I got a spooky portent of the future:
Angela Power Disney = Son Already Weeping.

EC, feel free to take the video down. I’d forgotten about that bit when I posted it.
Thank you, kind Sir 😀
Actually, to be fair that’s an old clip from 2015, so she wasn’t taking them back then either, it seems 😵
The big thing that all the troofers and hoaxers have all honed in on re. the Pope’s visit has been the apparently sharp decline in the numbers of people lining the streets to welcome him and they’ve been posting then-and-now comparison pics to illustrate this. How accurate/misleading the pics are, though, I wouldn’t like to say.
LOL! You’re on fire today, Sam 🙂
She posted this yesterday too, btw:
In Word I use Insert > Symbol from the toolbar, then copy and paste it into my blog comment.
Where are you seeing that, Sam? I’m not seeing any new videos on either of her channels or her Facebook page.
Yawn. Whatever you say, Neelu…

@ Liza, it’s been said the aerial views of the Dublin streets were misleading, that in fact there were many people lining the streets – I don’t know, I wasn’t there.
As for the pope’s mass in the Phoenix Park…there was room for 500,000 but only an estimated 150,000 showed up.
There were free tickets available for the mass….a social media campaign was run prior to the visit encouraging people to claim the free tickets but to not attend, which obviously hundreds of thousands did…which is kind of amazing.
Apparently FSF director Catriona Selvester is planning to assassinate the Queen with bow and arrow. Mad bint
‘Crathic’ Castle. Sigh…
Exactly, Peadar Tóibín, while standing up for his convictions, which I admire in anyone, has enough problems without listening to her rubbish. Emily Napper is busy managing a stately home in U.K. & never interacts with Angela, no matter how much she tries lol.
It’s banned in the UK too, Angie. D’oh!
It’s Crathes Castle, isn’t it?
“I Neelu Berry, owner of 3 Peel Drive”… err, no you’re not Neelu and you never would have been until you paid off your mortgage in full.
Who on earth has she sent that mad letter to?
Indeed. In this instance though, I think she means Crathie Kirk.
Crathes Castle and Crathie Kirk are two totally different places, so for her to say hers is a more “accurate headline” is ridiculously inaccurate, but that’s Cat for ya.
The Ctrl ALT key and then the letter
LOL, Andy Devine’s just announced he’s doing a live feed with John Praterson at 8 o’clock tonight. Should be a hoot.
More harassment:
Oh good, he stands up to her at 5:10. Nice 😉
Gordon Bowden, blah blah blah, BBC, blah blah, blah.. it’ll probably be more of a borefest than a hoot. LOL!
I like when he suggested she should call the Police and she replied “No… no, the Police are now wearing fake badges, fake uniforms, they are not Officers, they are props being used to steal homes”.
How do you get da son and da holy ghost?
Becki Percy is planning on writing a WordPress blog
Finally, images are working for me.
@ Smut Clyde, is that a trick question?
What is she complaining about? She should think about how much she is now saving on the council tax, electricity and water bills that she is no longer responsible for. It could have been an even bigger saving on her household expenses but she abdicated responsibility for the mortgage ages ago.
I need to check that company website. That’s more than I’m being paid an hour. If the toilet is free, as she claims, I quite fancy the idea of someone paying me to sit outside the Equity Law HQ for sh!ts and giggles.
Becki opened an account here, starting a blog. Like an hour ago. https://survivingisthriving.wordpress.com/

BREAKING: ‘Alan Alanson’ sentenced to 9 months
Alan Colley, known to Hampstead hoax followers as “Alan Alanson”, was sentenced to nine months in prison at Newcastle Crown Court earlier today. Colley/Alanson also received a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO), which will remain in place until a further order supersedes it.
Colley had originally faced charges of Harassment 4, “harassment putting people in fear of violence”, but at his 9 May hearing he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of malicious communication—”sending an electronic communication with intent to cause distress or anxiety”.
As “Alan Alanson”, Colley posted a slew of malicious and threatening posts on Facebook, many directed at the parents in the Hampstead case. His posts were notable, as well, for their anti-Semitic bent. Colley also posted as “Alan Boyes”, but that account appeared to be for the benefit of his non-conspiranoid friends and family members.
While Colley could seem almost amiable at times, striking up near-civil conversations in the comments section of this blog, he showed his true colours in the days immediately following his November 2016 arrest:
Maybe it’s just us, but it seems just a bit unwise to give a “no comment” interview to the plod, then be led away effing and blinding, only to blurt out the nature and details of one’s offence in a crowded (and well-CCTV’d) custody suite.
Despite his many claims that he was a devout Christian, Colley was fond of making threatening allusions to shooting people in the head, as in this November 2017 post:
Hoaxtead Research’s interest in the case
Colley’s case was of particular interest to us, as EC had been scheduled as a witness at his trial, having provided police with some small pieces of evidence in the lead-up to his arrest.
So we were surprised in February this year when he posted in the comments section that he had not been charged:
Just thought I’d pop by and say hello sports fans… Out of ten, ‘how much does it piss you off that I have not been charged’?
Was this wishful thinking on Colley’s part? Or an attempt to goad EC into contradicting him? Hard to say. However, he followed up with two more before calling it a night:
Oh you do mind/remember me Kazza, you should?
Why do you feel/think you need to censor my posts… are you yellow ? are you frightened of what I might say… Karen Irving, do you deny being El Coyote? be careful before you answer… Because there are folk busying to link you to such a handle… Will check in later to see if you have gained some fortitude.
Colley had apparently not been keeping up, as EC’s identity had been well known for at least a year by this time. However, it again seemed unwise of him to attempt to contact a person who he must have known was a witness in his case.
As “Alan Alanson”, Colley had forged online relationships with Hampstead hoax pushers such as Angela Power-Disney, Jake Clarke, Kristie Sue Costa, and others.
His sentence comes in the wake of a slew of stern sentences related to child sex abuse hoaxes, and may reflect a growing understanding of the damage which can be done by false allegations of sexual abuse, especially when they are amplified online.

Ooh, so he got a Rupert! Thanks for sharing, EC 🙂
I hope this sends out a message to all the other people who every day are still doing exactly what Alanson did. Everyone from Inverness to Oldcastle to Brighton to Kincorth should take note. I wonder who’ll be next.
So this worked out well for him, then:
If I LMAO does it mean I’m a horrible person?
If so, I think you’re one of many. 😂
Oh sorry, EC – just seen you already quoted that in your post. Oh well, consider it a visual aid 🤭
Great! Angela’s take on this will naturally be entirely opposite to the truth after she picks it up from here as she usually does.
Thanks for the news EC.
Good news! Another moron who talked his way into prison. Not many of them left now.
Yet another new Praterson channel? 💤
Let’s see how quickly we can get this one taken down 🤭
This one goes out to JP…
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2yK92qEi4igYLOAr3EFn8w/videos
Have reported both videos that are on there (the one below for the description), as well as the channel name.
Well, slap my arse and call me Susan – that was quick! 😃
Oh Christ, Ramola D and David Noakes. Kill me now 🤮
Noakes @ 2:25 – “The Data Protection Act is yet another piece of European legislation that takes away our rights” 😖
OK, I’m pretty sure I won’t make it to the end of this.
Bacov Thenet says:
Pavement Taster the bandwidth waster must be apoplectic. Meanwhile well done EP et al for cutting of this loathsome,pointless twat off from both of his viewers.
Not a problem–I’m glad you had the screenshot, as I couldn’t lay hands on it in my morass of unsorted files. 🙂
At 16:35 Noakes says that the punishment for treason is death and goes off on one about all the people that should be “hung by the neck until dead” 🙄
Abe Christie: “…once I return…” 🤔
Thanks, BT 🙂
Well done. Paterson seems to be getting quite vicious in his posts. It’s still a mystery to me why those who follow John Wanoa are absolutely fixated on the Hampstead matter and have woven it into the mix.
I had no idea Alanson had been charged but his behavior, or at least the posts about his arrest seem a bit fictional to me and like a case of false bravado.
Odd that they don’t take even police warnings seriously.
It must be very taxing for the father to have to endlessly pursue these attackers. Bizarre how they cannot spare a thought for the children in this case. They’re all approaching those difficult teen years.
He was arrested and charged nearly three years ago. It’s been a slow process.
This is a more recent post, announcing his guilty plea:
https://hoaxteadresearch.wordpress.com/2019/05/10/alanson-pleads-guilty-to-malicious-communications
Not convinced by this David Noakes and his attachment to the Fruit loop Brigade.
He can’t be that silly seeing he amassed a reputed £8M fortune from his quack “cure” and purchased planes which he could fly and luxury cars.
If these fake cancer cure grifters are such humane types why don’t they just give away their “cure”?
Noakes is doing his partner’s case no good. He plead guilty in court and he gives the appearance of mocking his light sentence as he now claims he is the victim.
I hope French authorities are taking note. Whatever Thyer says in court has to be seriously questioned.
I expect Noakes’ victims- those who had side effects and believed his rubbish -have a case for suing him in a civil court for damages.
I reckon he’s trying to create confusion in an attempt to delay and stop anyone pursuing his money.
When you have dingbats like Ramola D to promote you it’s easy to portray yourself as some sort of crackpot rather than a cold and manipulating con artist ripping off desperate people.
Christ, he’s got another one back up already 🙄
He’ll never learn…
Yes he / she is an Exceptional Elementary Penguin.
Paterson needs a good hobby. He’s getting far too angry which I expect is out of sheer frustration that EC is not upset about being called fat or purple / red haired or even, a lesbian !
Why does he think being called a lesbian is an insult ? . It was an insult dodgy blokes use to hurl at ladies who gave then the cold shoulder in the 1960/80s if they dared rebuff their “gentlemanly” advances.
Besides we know he could never afford a wood-chipper seeing he lives on “the social”.
Can we pass the hat around and buy him a ticket to return post-haste?
Sad, but not surprised to see the usual suspects are following it (Neelu’s dancing the line as usual,, she already has a court order regarding the Hampstead case, following a person breaking it is skirting dangerously close to the edge…imho)
From someone on Guernsey, four years ago:
“As someone who has had face to face dealings with David Noakes. It is my opinion that that he does actually belive much of the bonkers conspiracy theory stuff he spouts”
From that same comment thread:
“There seems to be an increasing cross-over between GcMAF grifters and the stalkers and stoners of the broader ‘truther’ community — people who have moved on from denying any one specific official account (9/11, Sandy Hook) to a general philosophy of *everything* is a Gubblement Lie.”
Aww, does Praterson think Mark Zuckerberg owns YouTube? Bless
And two of those are John himself, subbing his own channel. The sad twat
He does realise that they can IP block, or if they really wanted to, could contact his ISP and get his net access removed- sure there are ways around it, but his ‘technical expertise’ seems rather um poor, shall we say…
LOL, didn’t notice that
Yes, I’ll look forward to hearing her views on the matter. 😉
Yes, the field is definitely narrowing, isn’t it?
That has got to be some sort of land speed record, EP! Well done!
Well, I gave her the link to this post (via a YT thread) within minutes of EC putting it up, so she’s aware of it 🙂
Yes, I fear he is distraught that I have never responded to any of the hundreds of emails he has sent me. Sadly, I cannot reciprocate his devotion, as my heart belongs to another, but I can certainly understand his frustration. I hope that one day he will be able to move on.
Also, if he has several hundred channels, why does he need to keep making new ones? He seems oblivious to the fact that “Date joined: August 16th, 2019” is clearly displayed on his ‘About’ page 😆
Well if he’s desperate, Kaley Einav has a thing for him.

Last night I had a dream / nightmare that featured Lee Cant briefly. Maybe it was because of my medication, some similar to what Lord Wanoa is currently on.
We and 100s of others were in some bizarre huge factory filled with zillions of mechanic parts and Cant was pontificating on how to fix something but he had it all wrong.
You will be pleased to know I gave him a good telling off and he looked quite stunned and was silent.
If I start to dream about Paterson that’s it- back to the doctor for different melds.
In the rest of the dream I was at a beach where 1000s of people had gathered to watch Megan Markle and Hilary Clinton go swimming together.
No more late night snacks or reading the MailOnline just before bed for me. What if I start having wet dreams about Neelu?.
He visibly shudders.
Why do this lot even want to be on YT if the hate Zuckerberg so much and think it’s owned by “the Joos”.
And not a single view of the dozens of videos. Why does he bother?
Finally another Andy walk ‘n’ whinge:
No dogs today, though. Apparently the missus already took ’em out earlier this morning… and spotted a wild boar that looked like Rick Coll. Or something.
Good to see another idiot come up short against the majesty of the law.
News from Glastonbury – Araya Soma has gone to ground completely as far as I can see. All her facebook profiles are now gone and she’s keeping a low profile in Glastonbury too. Can’t post it here, but if I were her, I’d be looking at a different way of making money. She was placing herself as the big name in the anti-5g group in town, which is full of the usual stoners and conspiracy nuts. But an acquaintance of mine wrote to all the local councillors with screen shots of some of her facebook posts – the ones praising Hitler etc. and her own gang then realised what a liability she is. Also a bit of a blow (no doubt) was when she was openly ridiculed on our local facebook noticeboard (which tbh is for the very thick-skinned only)… and what was lovely to see was by the tone and information in the posts, it was pretty clear that she’d been checked out here on Hoaxtead!
Good of Praterson to share his secret crush and sexual fantasy with us but the phrase “too much information” springs to mind:
The customary Hampstead bullshit comes at 11:43.
And the inevitable Hoaxtead rant comes at 15:22, followed by a death threat to everyone associated with the blog and a rant about the “assassination attempt” on Praterson 😆
“Which is why I chose to do what I do”…basically walk around the streets or sit at home sucking on his roll-ups boring the tits of everyone with his endless waffle. Pillock.
There’s a really vile death threat towards the end too.
Will make a lowlights video of this one.
Ooh, someone’s getting sweaty palms 🤭
Have reported this one from Praterson (here plagiarising Hope Tart) for hate speech:
This just in. Turns out it was me 🤭
🙄🤦♂️🤪
Haha, good to hear, PA!
As it always does with him.
3:47 – “It’s plain for anyone that’s got an inkling of arse”
@Sam, well done for giving him a good telling off. 😆 Btw, don’t eat after 6pm & only read the MailOnline in the afternoon for fear of ….well…..Neelu! 🙃
@Susan/aka EL, he never will return as we all know, he is what in the olden days we would call, not pc days sorry, a big girl’s blouse.
He’s a zombie! 🧟♂️
I can well believe that someone can believe this stuff and amass a lot of ££ as well. Noakes was clever or lucky in his choice of con. The combination of an easy product -none of the cost of research, testing, approved production methods – plus a desperate customer base willing to try anything, leads to a licence to print money. Combine that with the narcissm which is immune to the wickedness of his actions or the pain he’s causing. Such a person could easily be persuaded that there’s a magic loophole that only clever people like him know. And that lawyers who tell him it’s not true are just protecting themselves. It would be hard for him to believe they are professionals with his interests at heart because that’s a mindset completely alien to him – he thinks only of himself and so believes everyone else is the same. Such people are easy to con as they only see things from their point of view – look at Sabine’s former friend, Elizabeth Watson.
Arse and house are homonyms in the Derbyshire dialect though it still doesn’t make sense so I offer this linguistic snippet solely for entertainment.
Ethel says:
Call me naive, call me slow or even call me Ethel but is there much difference between John Wanoa, Andy Devine and John Paterson threatening mass murder by lynching all manner of people (those who disagree with them) and this case?:
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/skbaer/man-texts-mass-shooting-threats
” 25-Year-Old Man Was Arrested After Allegedly Texting His Ex-Girlfriend That He Wanted To Commit A Mass Shooting”
Wow, how much bullshit can you cram into one paragraph?!
Aww, poor old Praterson’s been having one of his meltdowns on Abe Christie’s page.
(The comments below were directed at Flo, Kilrush and ‘George Dufort’, lol.)
L.B. Beck says:
I think I’ve worked out who Praterson’s California contact is who’s gonna terminate us all. It’s his second favourite Austrian:
As an old boss of mine would say “Empty barrels make the most noise”.
One year? Meh, that’s probably as they have better thing to do – like deal with real child molesters etc. Don’t worry…..they’ll get to you Angie……..trust me on this.
OOOOH Zombies go for the brain. Don’t worry Angie, you’re safe.
Apologies – have corrected the date in the video description. The live feed that this is taken from went out this morning.
Bonne chance avec ça, Neelu 😆
Elementary Lenguin? 🤭
Hmm. I keg to differ.
(Sorry Sam, if you’re watching)
Noakes was clever or lucky in his choice of con.
Cons, plural. Noakes was simultaneously pimping a second Secret Cure for Cancer Suppressed by Big Pharma, something called Sodium dichloroacetate or DCA.
https://web.archive.org/web/20120814114309/http://dcashop.eu/info/
However, DCA did not lend itself so well as a cure for autism and CFS and umpteen other conditions, so Noakes eventually found GcMAF to be more profitable.
Such people are easy to con as they only see things from their point of view
Truthers are such easy prey.
Princess Fairy-Poo keeps whinging about “assassination attempts” while exulting in the company of Praterson and his incessant claims to be a multiple murderer leading an international team of assassins. It’s almost as if she tries to be a nauseating piece of trash.
Hahaha, slip of the finger! 🤭
Well now, here’s an interesting development…
Everyone needs a goal, I suppose.
No response yet on his Facebook page but I kinda wish I hadn’t looked now…
“and record the calls”
I hope this conversation-taping lady is not too hung up about her own right to privacy, because otherwise she would look like a hypocritical piece of garbage, no wait.

This crowd haven’t really reached the “object-permanence” state of development… if Lynda Thyer is not directly in their field of view, that means she doesn’t exist any more.
An attitude crystalised by a number of calls in which she’s insisted on the receptionist giving her their name whilst point blank refusing to give them hers.
Just asked TN which video he got taken down and it turns out it was the one about Sandy Hook being fake. I remember the one he means. It seems YT are a bit twitchy after the whole Alex Jones debacle 🙂
Agent 96 says:
I’m not too sure.
Arnie is married to a Kennedy ie: one of the Illuminati Freemason Elite Reptile Shape-Shifting Mob. Another member of the Hollywood Elite.
I guarantee it will be revealed his phone-number is recorded in the little black book owned by Mrs Eloise Frobisher who lives just two blocks from the late Jeffrey Epstein’s NY house who despite never even hearing of the late billionaire, this will prove Arnie is connected to the Lolita Express and is known to be have been in LA one day when the plane flew over.
Arnie is one of “them” although he could have course seduced Prattleon into revealing the inner secrets of Lord Wanoa’s plans for World Domination.
Ghost of Julius Streicher says:
It’s pleasing to see Johnny is now restraining his anti-Semitic attacks after so many complaints about his racism.
As Prattleon has said many times :
“I’m not in the least bit antisemitic and that is a vile attack. I do not hate Jews. I just hate all Israelis and those other Joos who live everywhere else. It’s terrible to accuse me of racism just because I point out that every Joo on the planet thinks and acts alike and the vast majority are Lesbian Drag Queens with funny colored hair who should lose a bit of bloody weight. How can that be racism?”.
“This is as bad as falsely accusing me of issuing death threats when all I want to do is arbitrarily lynch a few (100) of my critics and feed their limp bodies into a wood-chipper (feet first) to provide fertilizer for our soil. I’m sure Andy Devine will back me up on this”.
“Indeed as I said to Andy just the other day- I’m very liberal minded and even read the far left wing newspaper Der Stürmer which provides all the facts and figures I need about the Jewish World Plot to force everyone on the planet to celebrate Rosh Hashanah and eat apples and honey and open a high fee account at a Rotshchild Bank”.
“And Andy like me has complained that someone seems to be nicking out daily copy of Der Stürmer as the last one I received was in 1942.”
Angie will be most upset that it’s now been revealed that Tommy Robinson’s go-to Iman “Sheikh” Mohammad Tawhidi who constantly claims in interviews that all Mosques should be pulled down and says Robinson is correct saying that Muslims plan to set up Sharia Law systems in the West (as promoted by John Wanoa and believed by Neelu) is a complete fake who never passed any exams and has tried to pass himself off as the leader of the South Australian Muslim community when Australia’s peak Muslim bodies have all pronounced his as bogus.
Possibly just another con-artist but these creeps can be dangerous. The awful Sydney Lindt Cafe Sydney siege killer who murdered two innocents passed himself as as a desperate political refugee Iman from Iran when in fact he had fled Tehran after ripping off a travel agency he worked at for a small fortune.

“Tommy Robinson’s Go-To Imam ISN’T ”
Mind you he was exposed previously on the excellent Oz ABC TV show Media Watch which really shows up the paucity of “research” that Robinson and supporters (Angie) “research”.

7:50 – “I would safely say that Smut Clyde, the Office Tapir, Elementary Penguin, Danny Royce, El Coyote are all one and the same person. I think all these accounts are Karen.”
😆😂🤣🤪
Dammit, I always suspected that Karen was me and now it’s been verified by a – cough cough – reliable source 😆
And Smutty too, who has his own successful blog. He’s me too!
I must say I’m immensely flattered 😃
By the way, it’s interesting to see Babs sucking up to the mentally unhinged jungle-dwelling anti-Semite, racist and serial liar Tom Cahill. Nothing creepy or desperate there, then 🙄
That’s quite an achievement to be running two excellent blogs with completely different styles. Fair play to you, Smutty… er, EC… er, me. Fuck, I think I need a lie-down.
Aww, it’s not fair. It was my turn to be Karen this week 😦
So now I’m Smut, Karen, Karen’s daughter, Karen’s husband, Karen’s son, Danielle la Verite, Christine Sands, Yannis Emmanouel, Sheva Burton, a Scotsman called Dom, a Mancunian called Danny, a “Brummie nonce”, the Hampstead dad, an old lady from Hounslow and a university lecturer from Medway.
Mine’s a Scotch, please, with a vodka-and-Xanax chaser.
Uhh?.. are you sure? It’s in my diary this week to be EC and I’ve worked for ages on my look :
overweight.. check
red/purple haired..check
lesbian..take my word for it
Drag queen / Transgender..check
Jewish..could be
Gorgeous..of course
Eww, too much (fake) information at 0:11 and 5:05 🤮
I think they are on to us. Only a matter of time before they discover I am actually me.
Does she not get that me commenting in French was meant as a jokey reference to Neelu’s request for people to call the French government? Is she really that stupid?
No just one broken neck bone which a doctor said is not that unusual in much older males.
23? Pffft. Bloody amateur:
Stop it, you’re killing me 😆😂🤣
You’re one of the few people Babs says is real, lol. She took a few liberties with estimating your age, though 😆
Va te faire foutre!
Und fahr’ in die Hölle!
SP, Moorzy doesn’t appreciate that even if (very, very big if) Krusty became king in the UK, Mark Zuckerberg isn’t a British subject so UK laws wouldn’t apply to him then?
I didn’t intend to comment here today but having seen the video EP cites (and part 2 is up now), I hadn’t heard of the Belinda who made that video previously but I thought it ironic that she referred to people to visit this blog as being “obsessive”.
Please don’t take the piss out of Araya, she’ll have nothing left to drink.
Danny de la Royce says:
Mainstream media when it suits them, eh 🙄
By the way, anyone know what this Elvis mystery is that she refers to? 🤔
Good spot, CAW!
Fact-checking isn’t the fruitloops forte, I’m afraid. I mean, yesterday Praterson was blaming Zuckerberg for taking down his YT videos. I don’t think he’s quite worked out that YouTube and Facebook are two different things yet.
If only, mate 🍷 🍷 🍷 😖 🤮
I see that since I commented (very recently) EP has linked part 2 of the Belinda video. Ghost, I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody thinks that really is your picture. There are some folk who take things literally, don’t seem to get a joke.
In regard to the notion that EC is a woman of many parts, or should there be many IDs, I did come across a conspiracy theory in the looniverse where some folk believe people “play” multiple real life people. Bill Hicks (whomsoever he is or was) is also Alex Jones is one such suggestion made out there in YouTubeland and the late Princess Diana faked her death and is either Yvonne Rothschild or Elton John’s husband (depending on which conspiracy theorist is myth-making that day).
They’ll probably say the facts are faked, SP.
Abe comes back. Policeman appears. “Hollow hollow”. (I’ll get me parka….)
He’s not really come to grips with this Christianity thing has he…..
“Siri, give me an example of a rhetorical question.”
I hope they DO think it’s my picture. It’s how I would like to be seen. Glamour and class.
EC may be a woman of many parts but I am also a man of many of many parts.
Sadly most of them are beyond their use by date and in urgent need of repair.
I love that. Even if it is a bit deep for me.
Really good film from one of my favourite directors. Highly recommended.
Brilliant ! If only she knew I am a figment of my own imagination.
# I’ve been taking liberties with my age for decades.
Yes..Elvis didn’t die sitting on the toilet scoffing a peanut butter sandwich but faked his death and is living in Israel with JFK, Michael Jackson and now Jeffrey Epstein.
Little known fact: Elvis wore an Chai necklace in honour of his mother who was (for Pete’s sake don’t tell Paterson) a Joo.
# although some say he is actually working at Gracelands as a caretaker.

Ciccada 3301 is a Crypto-Community/Tribe that puts out very elaborate puzzles, some say for pure entertainment, others say to recruit crypto talent. Thomas Schoenberger seems to be a componist who tends to use some of the mathematics involved in crypto in his compositions. Both have been linked via a bunch of conspiracy theories. Schoenberger seems to be a complex, multi-facetted character as artists often seem to be. Some people state he is a troll. I have not yet looked into him. Ciccada on the other hand is fascinating and you can find good info on them on Wikipedia and on Brainscratch.
Well, this is awkward:

In any event, the broken hyoid bone is still evidence of death – it’s just (leaving Epstein’s age out of it) more likely to be evidence of death by strangulation. So a broken hyoid bone doesn’t mean he’s not dead, it means at the most that he’s dead a different way.
To be fair, I think “assassination” means something different to her than it does to most people and the dictionary. “Assassination” in Neelu-speak means “bring a legal process to bear”. So you can be assassinated by receiving a parking ticket or a notice that your street’s going to closed for repairs. Just as “treason” means “do something Neelu disapproves of”.
Also, don’t you have to be someone important or prominent for it to be an assassination rather than just murder?
I think the problem is how obviously hopeless they are. The definition of threat to kill is: made a threat to kill another person, intending that someone (not necessarily the intended victim) would fear that the defendant intended to carry out the threat.
I find it impossible to believe that any of these intend to do anything which involves more effort than typing or yelling. We’ve seen (outside the RCJ) what happens when John Paterson encounters actual physical violence rather than talking about it.
That said someone who didn’t know them better might take it seriously, so they are at risk to some extent. But if I were defending them I would present my client as the chief exhibit.
“Goth Look”? I am now personally hurt by that suggestion having just returned from traveling 900 miles to see The Cure. Boo Babs! Boo to you!!!
But isn’t there a difference between, say, US and UK definitions? I know in the US they use the test of whether they believe whether there is an actual intention by the perp to kill, which is why so many “death threats” don’t result in any American police action, whilst the UK police will intervene and interview on whether the victim thinks there is a threat but an actual prosecution will rely on the man on the Clapham Omnibus interpretation?
Great choice, mate. I’m a big fan and saw them on the Cure in Orange Tour in ’87 😍🎵🍊
I found Alan’s supposed rant in the police station hilarious. I bet he was on his best behaviour and wouldn’t dare raise his voice to a copper.
Lol, nice video. Just a shame that Paterson hasn’t got the sense to let this be a warning to him to quit with his death threats
Well done UKC
Damn, can you imagine how insulting Paterson could be if he was antisemitic
I see that mad old bat Heather Brown’s been ranting away on Babs’s videos
🙄💤💤💤
As a general comment, and not just this court case, I cannot understand where the claimed viewing figure of 4 million derived from regarding the original footage of the kids talking to camera. The number of true believers in the hoax seems to be in the region of a few dozen.
So this numptie is trying to determine the Hoaxtead EOB? She has added “ELINT traffic analyst” to her repertoire of dress-up games? Feckin amateurs.
“Learning from others’ misfortunes” does not seem to be one of this gang’s fortes.
Thanks, BT. 🙂
Does he even know what a residential school was? Could he name a single location of one? Does he know when the last one was closed down?
I know, I know, expecting facts from these numpties is a lot to ask. 🙄
The mind boggles.
Well done, TN! And I hear Dunny is none too pleased about it. 🙂
I only wish I were clever enough to run Smutty’s blog.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if there were someplace where you could just punch in your questions and find out the answer almost instantaneously? For instance, I would love to know just how many Canadians actually speak French.
Oh, wait. Maybe I will ask the Goofle.
tappity-tappity-tap
Hang on just a cotton-pickin’ minute, I think we’ve hit pay dirt!
French is the mother tongue of about 7.2 million Canadians (20.6 percent of the Canadian population, second to English at 56 percent) according to Census Canada 2016.[1] Most native speakers of the French language in Canada live in Quebec, where French is the official and majority language. 77 percent of Quebec’s population are native francophones, and 95 percent of the population speak French as their first or second language.[2] Additionally, about one million native francophones live in other provinces, forming a sizeable minority in New Brunswick, which is officially a bilingual province, where about one-third of the population are francophone. There are also French-speaking communities in Manitoba and Ontario, where francophones make up about 4 percent of the population,[3] as well as significantly smaller communities in Alberta, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan – around 1–2 percent.[3] Many of these communities are supported by French-language institutions.
Or as we way back in my Canajun homeland, “Take off, ya hoser!”
I only wish I had the energy and inspiration to post there.
Remember Leonardo Edwards? The bleach-enema scammer whose infant son was taken into custody because his idea of “treating life-threatening diarrhea in an infant” is “pump bleach up his butt”, and who responded by going through the legal steps for return of custody catching the next plane to Portugal?
https://hoaxteadresearch.wordpress.com/2019/01/07/parents-of-snatched-baby-promote-toxic-cure-all/
I see he has a new grift now, in addition to “selling industrial bleach as a health panacea at a huge mark-up” and “whoring for donations through a GoFundMe appeal to support his life-style“… he’s joined the Sovereign Citizen business, spells his name with extra colons, and sells copies of the Quantum Grammar book to would-be scammers who want to learn the secret incantations that win every court-case (Judges hate it!).
This has caused some strife with other scammers who reckon that they have exclusive rights to rip off would-be scammers.
Edwards has not returned to the UK to wield the quantum-grammar powers and win court cases and regain custody of his no-longer-infant son, so it’s almost as if he knows the book is total shite.
Aww, it seems Angie’s not happy. If only we’d tried to warn her about Heather. Oh wait – we did. Repeatedly. But she called us lying trolls and blocked us 🙄

Indeed. He’s put up a video today in which he rants about “YouTube censorship” an vowed to find an alternative platform. Sound familiar? 😀
Yes indeed. And in two separate videos yesterday Babs uttered the immortal line, “Something like that anyway but I can’t be arsed to check.” But hey, she’s a trooper and a little ‘blockage’ like that wasn’t going to stop her from speaking with authority on a range of topics and slinging mud at random people. Noooo
Wow. Just jaw-dropping! Thanks for sharing, SC
Nurse! Mr. Paterson’s having another one of his turns…
Paragraph 2 of Mrs Justice Anna Pauffley’s judgment following her March 2015 fact-finding hearing reads:
This number, I believe, was derived from viewing estimates found on YouTube, the Change.org petitions set up by Sabine McNeill, and Vid.me. There may have been other sources of which I’m not aware.
Obviously, every person who viewed the videos did not instantly become a full-scale promoter of the hoax. The great majority would have seen the videos and been horrified, but not everyone would have believed that what the children were saying was true; and of those who did believe what they said, only a few would have bothered to become “activists”. Even on the fabled never-ending David Icke Forum discussion group, the true believers were really a small core, while others might have accepted some parts of the story, and still others thought the whole thing was bunkum.
That said, whenever there has been a revival of the videos, for example by Thomas “Giant Honking Nostrils of Doom” Dunn, we notice small resurgences in those who claim to believe in the hoax. It seems to have reached the status of urban legend, with few bothering to look closely enough to determine that they have been fed a load of nonsense.
Meanwhile, over on ShitBoot…
Nostrilsofdoom? Wasn’t he that French philosopher bloke who used to predict the future?
If memory serves, some of the original Henry Curteis uploads of the Hampstead videos had view counts in the millions before we got them taken down.
Calm down, dear…
Julian & Christine – a modern romance
Angie promoting Devine’s drunken Hampstead rant, the one with all the head-swaying, slurred speech and death threats:
The only person who talked of any of that was Chris Fay, oh and may be a bit of Bill Maloney too, She`s not great with dates? she`s not great with the truth either, how come no one else saw the said picture? even Chris Fay said he didn`t know where it went. Angela, you`re full of shit, So Angie you didn`t think of telling anyone when you actually saw the picture, you just happen to mention it now.
I would think that real pedophiles would find those videos irresistible – two angelic looking kids talking about sex and often in an excitable and enthusiastic manner (knowing that had to please that brute Christie who would slap them if they got it wrong).
From my limited reading about “pedos”, there can be quite a bit of fantasy involved in the belief pre-pubescent kids actually want sex with their abuser.
And not a single one of the hoax promoters gives a thought to the children’s right to privacy. Pleasing that as they become teenagers, looks rapidly change and it’s often hard to recognise a 15 yr old from when they were 9.
So I guess that means she’s not on Julian Assange’s visiting list at Belmarsh?
Of course judges do hate it, because: it’s so time consuming (though less so now that it’s so recognisable); it’s hard to resist jumping across the bench, grabbling the defendant by the lapels and asking how can you be so stupid; and there’s always the nagging fear that the defendant might have a defence which they’re doing so much to conceal that you’ll miss it. I had a fotler trying to prevent the prosecution offering no evidence and the court dismissing all the charges against him, and then he tried to judicially review the court for finding him not guilty.
Attack of the Flowerpot Men! Trouble is they always crumbled when Little Weed told them what to do.
I was wondering if Tom’s proud of his nostrils since he points the camera up ’em in almost every other video. I’m just grateful he’s not afflicted with nose hair.
Sooooooooo does that mean she has a Sword of Steam (possibly a Russell Hobbs Iron?) or is it just a hilt due to water and fire cancelling each other out? I’m so confused and that’s before we get to grammar and general rules of the English language.
Maybe that’s what he’s trying to show us: “Look, Ma, no nose hair!”
In cartographic circles this self-filming angle is known as the ‘sinusoidal projection’.
I only hope Mr. Assange can cope with the 30-day wait until the next love letter 😮
But it involves 16th century maths. Ergo: SATANIC!
Who knows? Let’s hope someone leaks said list, if only for the irony value 🤭
They’re just such a massive waste of everyone’s time and energy.
Fotler? 🤔
Poor little fellers. I wonder if they made it to San Francisco in the end.
Yes, much like she didn’t think of reporting alleged videos of Ella participating in child sexual abuse…until she was in a spat with Team Ella on the HRes Facebook group, and needed a weapon against them.
Multiple reports from me already.
“Fat Purple Haired Dyke….” Oh dear… Now I’m no expert on UK law but I’m pretty sure that’s libellous, criminal and an invitation to the men in the white coats to make return visit with their rubber walled van.
Freeman On The Land-er
Ironically, an extra colon is probably what you need if someone gives you enemas with bleach.
Aww, Andy’s not happy with us in his latest video ‘Exposing How The Darkside Work And How To Deal With Them !!’ 🤭
“They should be imprisoned for impersonating” 😆
He’s saying John Paterson was punched in the temple. I could have sworn it was in the street outside Southwark Crown Court.
Aww, he didn’t like my drinking game 🤭
Using the Freedom of Information Act I have managed to track down footage of the Jew hater’s assault. It clearly identifies the mystery assailant.
Praterson now reckons he’s having us tracked down by “all intelligence agencies” 😂
I think more than a little weed is involved.
Ay oop, his chief arselicker’s just turned up:
I’ve reported Andy’s video at two points so far.
By the way, little tip in case you didn’t know – if you report different parts of the same video, do it from different accounts/channels. If you use the same channel to report it twice, the second one overrides the first.
Hang on a minute. I thought WE were the intelligence agencies?
Yep – we’re tracking ourselves. Didn’t you get the memo?
😆🤣😂
I’m dying here 😂
Aww, Praterson’s still not a happy camper, it seems…
Word salad anyone? 🤪
If you don’t know already, “Abel Danger” is the handle and website of of Field McConnell, conspiracy theorist and general all round right wing nut job. Big hat – no cattle as our American cousins say.
It seems that Sasha Stone has made a really terrifying film about 5G called ‘5G Apocalypse – The Extinction Event. It starts with Mark Steele saying the 5G rollout is a weapons system. The way he describes the development of the generations and what’s to come I found myself waiting for him to announce that 5G will become self-aware at some point, in which case we can expect a terminator….or something. Anyway, David Icke makes an appearance. Mark Steele does his thing to save Gateshead. Then someone called Thomas Joseph Brown appears and he’s apparently ‘Director of Sciences – New Earth University fellow’. I have to say that description piqued my interest so I went off to look at the New Earth University website. First thing to come up was an advert for Jim Humble’s (bleach man himself!) book. Jim is also a ‘fellow’.
The faculty at the New Earth University will be interesting to some of you as Sir John Walsh of Brannagh (now also using the title ‘Dr’) is on it. There’s a smattering of real Phd’s in there alongside some dubious ones and I enjoyed reading about people’s specialisms. There’s the usual wellness and woo stuff in there as well as some more (probably Glastonbury friendly) topics about energy and the like. (Some of the faculty have done Ted Talks so who am I to judge!) While wellness and woo predominates I came away disappointed not to find courses in Defence Against the Dark Arts or Mandrake potting. Closest thing was ‘vibrational testing’. I’ll leave that to your imaginations.
Second helping…?
To be fair they seem to have rumbled our hidden agenda behind 5G.
Since at some point all internet traffic will be routed (at least partially) through 5G networks, the only way that Neelu, Devine and the walk-into-lamposts man can be certain that they will not be effected by this terrible directed weapon system is to perform a precautionary disconnect, smash their routers and never use the internet again.
Of course. if they do that, the rest of us will be able to enjoy fast connectivity without having to endure these nutcases.
Lots of Freeman-on-the-Land scamming there:
“UCC: How to Own Your Strawman by Bibi Bacchus, NEU School of Natural Law Faculty. Learn from this inspiring, eye-opening 40-min. film gifted by Sacha Stone introducing Bibi explaining the basics of Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) – how to kill and then own “your strawman.” 25,000 + people have studied this …”
Ghost of Sacha Stone says:
I’m not too sure I like your tone as I am a former student of the NewEarth Uni and received First Class Honours in ‘Own Your Own Strawman’.
You make it sound questionable?. Did you make it past third grade? I did. I am indeed, one of the 25,000. They’re going to make a TV series about us and I’ve just received the synopsis: The Disappeared : “25000 people suddenly disappear and the re-appear 10 years later having not aged a minute but seemingly have had their brains re-arranged spouting all sorts of New Age Claptrap leaving family members puzzled” : a script by former Warwick University Chancellor Angela Power D’Isigny (for it is she) Ben Affleck & Matt Damon, creators of the Oscar winning movie ‘Good Will Hunting’ (although Damon & Affleck played very minor roles and were deemed “co-writers” even though they just worked in the studio canteen.)

“we need more men like you”. What layabouts that make videos everyday a’moaning and a’groaning and making no sense and boring us all witless?.
We entered with Alan Alanson going to prison – haven’t any of the hoaxers reacted? Took them all of a month to forget all about Sabine …
Not a word! Poor Alan, how quickly his efforts have been forgotten.
OH oh, look out, Pratterson’s got ‘BillnBen’ ex SAS out after us…
Ex Seed And Soil
Both experienced Sappers!!!
Woodchippers at the ready!!!!
He lost his train of thought.
I think he’s dropped a Clanger.
Blimey Slacha, I’m reading the New Earth University handbook and it says you should lie down while I test your vibrations. As Sir John would no doubt say “Trust me, I’m a doctor.”
Who’s Alan?
Mr :Bonkers: says:
Patersons natural talent for colliding with things could have launched a career on the telly or assisting medical students studying the long term effects of post concussion syndrome.The man is truly wasted simply joining words together randomly on YouTube at his ripe old age.Sad.
I informed Angela, Kaley, Matt, Praterson and Devine and asked them for their thoughts, to no avail.
Not even Alanson’s on-off blood brother Arthur Kaoutal has said anything.
Meanwhile, Alanson’s old mucker Malcolm Ogilvy, who traditionally posts 5-7 posts about the Hampstead dad a day, hasn’t mentioned him once since Alanson’s sentence was announced. Read into that what you will 🙂
I’ve genuinely lost count of how many identities Heather Brown’s attributed to me in the last 24 hours. I’m Steve Keys now, apparently. And she also seems to think Steve’s a copper 😆
And how’s this for irony…?
Heather’s been naming, attacking and slandering Steve Keys’ wife again:
Lowest of the low. Still, at least this time she hasn’t threatened to have his parents’ café burnt down with them and his wife inside.
Is ‘Shiva’s Revenge’ another name for Delhi-Belly?
Devine’s question-dodging antics show no sign of letting up, I see.
Babs @ 4:23 – “I wish you’d stop bullying Andy Devine. Can’t you see this man’s vulnerable?” 😆
LOL, I’ll bear that in mind next time he names a protected witness and his children and threatens to have him and everyone who defends him put through a woodchipper by gangsters or hanged from the nearest lamppost. Bless ‘im 🙄
Andy really is proving himself once again to be a despicable onanist in every sense. I see that he hasn’t taken up my suggestion that he get a soap box and get down to the Marina to spout his bollocks to all the holiday makers, surely the much wider audience he so obviously craves. “Manic Street Preacher “…Oh the irony! I reckon he is shitting bricks because after what happened to Sabine and now Alanson he must know that if a certain father has made formal complaints about him then a return to the UK may not be beneficial or easy!
EP. Don’t let up on this bastard. You have him by the balls and he hates it. Shove his 200 year old plastic royal seal right up him!
I see Praterson’s re-uploaded four more old videos. More opportunities to report him, hehe. I’ve reported his death threat at 8:04 in this one for starters:
For I concur.
Same end result- s..t goes everywhere…
I see Kaley’s on particularly bizarre form:
The “people are guilty until proven innocent” stuff at 44:45, 48:24 and 49:20 are particularly idiotic.
Would any of you like to contribute to this worthy crowdfunding campaign? We only need £6.4 billion a month. Form an orderly queue 🤪
Nope. Not common at all, Angie.
By the way, Daily Star – great source
The silly deluded bint has realised that in any sensible live debate she would be absolutely destroyed.She should just crawl back up Devines orrifice.
That didn’t happen in the UK, btw. It was South Africa. Angie forgot to mention that – or as usual, couldn’t be arsed to actually read the article before posting it and commenting on it.
So if we accuse Kaley (or any of the Mob) of something then she’s automatically guilty? Riiight…I think she may regret that she shared that belief.
Call me naive, call me simple, call me Alice Bracegirdle-Smythe if you must (the name I use at the Bridge Club) but seeing David Noakes made a few ££million quid from GcMAF why can’t he fund a trial of 20 cancer patients under the gaze of accredited cancer specialists and prove his concoction works and at the same time save his partner-in-crime from a French jail?
No, thought not.
Angie believes if she can conjure up any old newspaper article of abuse it somehow justifies all her claims of which she has no proof.
Anyway she better watch out- there’s a new Sheriff in Town called Kaley who has a new method of deciding guilt.
King John…..The nominee and stand out for the best actor award….!
I got all confused by the title and thought Danny had asked her to go and LIVE with him. Lots of head scratching and thinking ‘won’t his wife mind?’
I thought the man who challenged Andy had some good points but he wasn’t articulate enough and not calm enough to stay the course. The threats at the end were awful. Who is he?
I’ve been out of the loop on this one and thought I better catch up so I sat down to watch John Wanoa this afternoon. I think he’s been on a Stanley Unwin course. Do they offer that at the New Earth University?
LOL, I thought that at first too 😀
Am i right in thinking he’s one of the Pendragons, or did I dream that?
And yes, I wasn’t impressed by the threats either, especially to Devine’s dogs. If those two are gonna have a barney, at least leave the doggies out of it 😮
LOL, good luck with that, Angie 😆
Another Kenya snoozefest from Angie, if you can bear it:
And if that weren’t enough, she’s followed that up with a stats analysis snoozefest.
(Sorry, I can’t link it, as she starts it with an attack on the Hampstead dad.)
On the bright side, though, she says she’s had severe depression for the last few days.
6:56 – “Research is not my lane.”
No shit, Angie 😆
Wow, she’s up to .25 million views in her first year? We’ll have to get on our bicycles, she’s catching up…if she keeps going at that rate, in another seven years she will be where we are now!
At 10:50 she pleads for someone to give her a part-time job 😀
Next up, Devine…
Meanwhile, Wanoa’s looking and sounding really ill:
I see Kaley Einav’s taken down all her videos or set them to private:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFOWB-cRbLgcCXXZtw42iOQ/videos
I’m well pissed off. I actually watched all three John Wanoa videos and was going to treat her to my opinion.
Sneak preview of David Noakes’ next appearance (with support group) in Southwark Crown Court:
The court had to be cleared owing to the roars of ribald laughter which greeted the appearance in the witness-box of the twelve red-bearded dwarfs all in a heap. Their names were read out amid growing uproar. The names appeared to be: Sophus Barkayo-Tong, Amaninter Axling, Farjole Merrybody, Guttergorm Guttergormpton, Badly Oronparser, Churm Rincewind, Cleveland Zackhouse, Molonay Tubilderborst, Edeledel Edel, Scorpion de Rooftrouser, Listenis Younghaupt, Frums Gillygottle.
Cocklecarrot: Are these genuine names?
A Dwarf; No, m’worship.
Cocklecarrot: Then what’s your name?
Dwarf: Bogus, m’ludship.
Cocklecarrot: No, your real name.
Dwarf: My real name is Bogus, your excellency.
(At this point the court had to be cleared)
Devine reads a Neelu Berry screed very badly (Linda Thyer, Crown and Lord Bishops, Equity Lawyer, Swiss Indo, all the usual stuff). Then we get one of Neelu’s phone calls to the RCJ where she’s demanding that they allow Noakes appeal and stop Thyer’s extradition. The admin officer who answers the phone stands for no nonsense but then rather meanly passes her on to a team leader who gives her far too much information before realising and telling her to to email in.
Neelu then rings and asks to speak to Dominic Raab. Thyer and Noakes are now “whistleblowers” – another Humpty Dumpty word with Neelu – whistleblower = criminal. She gets a bit distracted by geography. “Are we still in the commonwealth? Does that include Europe, is Europe in the Commonwealth?” Having rung the wrong person in the wrong department she gets cross with them for not having the right information. Then she rings the foreign office and same again, Linda Thyer has been kidnapped and disappeared and that is the sanest thing she says. She is a witness of the assassination of 2 million people and a qualified pharmacist (sounds like a confession).
Then she rings someone else “you’re through to the British Consulate in Paris.” “Is that in France?” This receptionist sternly says she can’t share details with any old nutter who rings up and that’s that.
Then Andy Devine says he’s surprised that Linda Thyer wasn’t released after all that.
where she’s demanding that they allow Noakes appeal and stop Thyer’s extradition
There is no Noakes appeal. The hearing for confiscating his proceeds of fraud has been postponed due to his insistence on dispensing with legal counsel and not bothering to prepare himself… after that comes his extradition hearing. Thyer has been extradited, so there is naught for the RCJ to do there.
LOL, go to 1:51 – 5:11
Dunny & Chrestman have been moaning about their YT strikes and flailing round wildly trying to work out what they were for 🙂
Great work T. Niedermeier, who’s manage to get two strikes against these pr*cks in the last week

Another name for the list of people Angie’s fallen out with 🤦♂️
Anyone have a spare bridge they need guarding?

“CALL TO ACTION : GcMAF Awareness Day – 11th SEPT 2019”
Warning, ranty gobshite alert.
Thanks, Smut.
I was going to share that link you posted on Twitter to that old site showing David Noake’s previous attempts to promote another fake cancer cure before GcMAF (the one where you asked why he’d stopped and whether it was because it wasn’t profitable enough), but I can’t seem to find it. Would you mind posting it here for people to see?
Question of the day: can God get hanged for treason? 😂
Brilliant. Thanks, mate 👍
22:04 – “Don’t fall for all the global warming, climate change or anthropogenic climate change bullshit”
Yeah, don’t believe in global warming or climate change, folks. But do believe in chemtrails 🙄
Crane would prefer people to concentrate their concerns on the *real* threats to the environment, i.e. chemtrails, 5G mobile telephony, and immigration destroying the homogeneity of white countries.
What is it Kaley and her cronies always say about channels that have no content? 🤭
Not directly to do with the blog, but I’ve had a call from a number withheld company saying that they’d been in touch with people in my road earlier this year (not with me they hadn’t) about funding for works and that the government would be releasing the funds this time next year and would I be interested. I said I wouldn’t do business with a company with a withheld number and discontinued the call. He rang back and I said I didn’t want to seem rude but I wouldn’t do business with a company that withheld its number. Am I being overly cautious? I don’t want to be discourteous to genuine people.
I had a look at an old BBC article (from around November last year) and if I read it correctly Mr Noakes no longer claims that gc-maf cures cancer. I posted under the video asking people to be vigilant (I didn’t exactly put it like that). Unfortunately, people who believe in unproven conspiracies will probably think the BBC are part of “them”.
Smut, I always wonder why the people who believe in chem trails don’t take into account that “they” or “the elite” or whatever they like to name the powers that be breathe the same air as we lesser mortals.
Sorry, link to the BBC article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-guernsey-46308221
Certainly not being over-cautious. I would never discuss business from an undisclosed phone number and I had this problem 5 years ago dealing with a car insurance company trying to beat me down in price for a write-off after an accident.
Each time they rang from an undisclosed number and were trying to beat me down on the payout- each time I made them ring back on a recognizable number so I would have a record of the call- each time they got the huff and inferring I was being unreasonable- each time I told them basically to piss off. I got what I wanted in the end and my records of their calls became a complaint with the insurance regulator which ordered them to apologise and cease calling from undisclosed phone numbers.
Jeezuz H Christ- all because Julian Assange won’t take her calls.
Who IS this bloke?. He’s always pontificating from a field somewhere. What’s that all about?
I guess she was..something she accuses everyone else of : triggered !!!😂😂😂
With you 100%, CAW. I don’t even allow withheld numbers to call my landline.
Well said about the contradictory nature of the chemtrail conspiracy. This video makes the same point (and applies the principle to other conspiracies too):
This is a good one too:
Still rambling on with his nonsense but wow- very slow. His lost his aggression but still believes if you put it in writing (but not briefly ie: 100 pages) it makes it real.
Poor old thing. he & Andy won’t be leading any Revolution.
You can also run the number through sites such as WhoCallsMe to see if the number’s been reported by other people, who often leave quite detailed descriptions of their experiences with the number in question. I usually just type the number into Google and several SCM-type sites come up linking to info’ on it.
“I’m a Private Investigator for the Crown and Lord Bishops”. Nutter.
How could Noakes appeal a case he plead guilty to and has served the sentence?.
I’ve never in a lifetime of meeting nutters, one who thinks you can ring a court and get a case acted upon.
And because the Queen ate Princess Diana, natch.
Well, he may not know much about medicine but he’s out standing in his field.
I’ll get me coat.
It’s been speculated that he may be on chlorpromazine 🤔
It’s all a government conspiracy, apparently…
I don’t think the bible has a single reference to a steam iron which presumably is what she means by a sword of fire and water. Nor to the royal family, if it comes to that .
Yeah, because the government hasn’t anything else to do right now.
Isn’t one of the things about 5G that it causes cancer? So what’s his problem if he has a cure?
Yes, 25,000 people wanted to gloat. They are all waiting with bated breath for the DPP to lay charges now. (Good thing they aren’t literally holding their breath, though.)
That’s what he sounds like to me. Even more slurry than usual.
Angie – still determined to dig herself a massive hole 🤦♂️
Another slice of psychotic butt-hurt from John Prattle-On 🙄
That’s not a new video, btw. It’s the same one (the phone call to the police about his assault) that he’s uploaded numerous times already to various channels 💤
Interesting that at 6:33 he describes the assault as “a punch in the face”. I wonder when he changed his mind and decided that it was “a punch in the temple, which is attempted murder” 🤔
Wow, how’s this for a coinkydink…? 🎯
Great minds think alike and all that 😀
I’ve lost track of the number of versions of that story he’s told: he’s named multiple assailants (some imaginary); he’s got up and chased the guy, beaten him up, or maybe not; he’s described the punch as nothing serious, a punch in the face, a punch to the temple, and a death blow; and he’s said he went home afterwards because he saw no need to see a doctor, and that he had to go to the hospital for treatment. If I had to guess, I’d suggest this might be related to the police’s reluctance to pursue the matter in court.
WTF, lol…?

Angela is really a nasty cow, she’s trying to gain more viewers imho now that her PayPal has been shut down, obviously her ‘undeclared’ income has gone down then so.
And make it snappy- don’t linger and let the grass grow under your feet.
I hope you’re all ready for a good laugh ‘cos this is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in ages.
Here’s Tom Dunn talking to Caspar McCloud who lives in the USA but apparently grew up in Manchester.
When Caspar speaks there’s no trace of a Manchester accent. In fact I thought he was South African and had probably lived in Liverpool or Birmingham for a while. But no, he claims to be English. He doesn’t know how to pronounce ‘Savile’ properly though, which is odd and a bit of a red flag.
But heck, Caspar can’t be telling lies. He was famous! He was touted as the next Jimi Hendrix!
https://www.casparmccloudmusic.com/about-2/
Was he famous? Is he English?
https://www.rebeccameiser.com/Meiser_040208.html
Oh crap! Tom does the interview and notices nothing odd because…er…I have no idea because how couldn’t you spot this scammer at 50 paces? Tom seems to think all is ok though. Do they give awards for gullible?
“was touted as the “next Jimi Hendrix” by the legendary Ahmet Ertegun, CEO, and Founder of Atlantic Records.”..indeed he was but what Ahmet said at the end of that sentence was.. “ie: career dead and over by age 27”
Having a spot of insomnia here and thought I’d watch Caspar and Dunny…first thought was OMIGOD THE HAIR!!! But that was before Caspar started talking. I nearly ruptured something laughing…he looks like a fox eating shit out of a wire brush. And what in the name of all that’s holy is that accent supposed to be? How does anybody actually believe this person about…well, anything? I thought my respect for Dunny could descend no further. I was wrong.
Oh FFS : “we can prove some of these things actually ‘appened” with “‘appened” a distinct Lennonesque Liverpool pronunciation but he’s from Cleveland, USA? LOL.
Bloody hell, this has gotta be King Johns sister surely…..?

Needless to say she’s a FotL grifter as well.
And believe me – Ertegun knew what he was talking about. I don’t know if you’re familiar with him – and apologies if I’m teaching Grandmother to suck eggs – but he was one of the people behind not only Atlantic records but also its subsidiary Stax, which was arguably the most influential and important label in the history of soul music, creating as it did that legendary sound generated by the stable of talent that included Otis Redding, Wilson Picket, Booker T and the MGs, Arthur Conley, The Bar-Kays, Sam & Dave, Isaac Hayes, Eddie Floyd, the Staple Singers and many more. I was going to recommend a book called ‘Ahmet Ertegun and the Godfathers of Soul’ or something like that. I read it years ago but it doesn’t appear to be in print any more. But dare I say it, the Blues Brothers movie is also a great love letter to Stax, featuring as it does several songs from the label, with their band made up primarily of former Stax musicians 🙂
And while I’m on on, I consider this one of the greatest live performances of all time:
There’s a lot of homophobia from hot-diggety man and then from the Duncemeister himself, starting at 31:34. I’ve reported it anyway – I always try to grab opportunities to shut Dunny up when they present themselves 🤭
35:13 – We’ve all been brainwashed by George Harrison, apparently 🙄🤦♂️🤪
I’ve left them a comment. Let me know if you think I should tweak anything:
Hilariously ironic lyric at 48:19 🤭
For I concur 👍
Andy is either gonna cream his jeans or explode with rage over this Moani usurper/clone/wannabe. Is it gonna be Kings Law/Bench or Queens Law/Bench which comes out on top? Strap your selves in for a bumpy ride folks.
Before she became Lady Crown, invented a genealogy and acquired a facial tat in emulation of her newly-acquired ancestress, she was Jennifer Holt-Alexander.

Her pre-scamming career was as “Head Lice Removal Specialist”. https://nomorenitz.wordpress.com/info/
Nothing obsessive there, then:
Well, after having looked into him, i have come to the conclusion that he is not gullible, he just does not give a fuck. He has a long history of working with criminals and hoaxsters. Among them APD of course, but also racist hatepreacher Coach Dave who was driven out of his coaching job by a citizens initiative, SRA scammer par exellence “Honeybee aka Moneybee” Melissa Zacharia who scammed concerned “pseudochristians” off of 20.000 Dollars for a groundbreaking “documentary” about SRA that she never delivered. She also took footage from a mexican drug cartel murder and claimed it was a satanic snuff film. She then used this illegal footage to get another 10.000 via Gofundme for a “Memorial Film”. Researching her court records, i found out that she herself has been convicted of child abuse and neglect. Dunn will sell her as a heroic fighter for the good, nevertheless.
The same goes for L.A.. Marzulli who bought the corpse of a “demon fairy” from some guy in Mexico, heavily monetizing it and using it as proof for the coming apocalypse and the existence of demons and angels. Later it turned out that the demon fairy was the crude work of a makeshift taxidermist. And the list goes on and on. Long debunked fake SRA victim Karly Franz Noel: he had her on of course, and his idiotic followers believed every word. Karly has changed her narrative in the meantime, she is a secret clone now, and enslaved author and songwriter who wrote most of Lady Gagas songs without being compensated. I could continue this list for hours, but just to give you one last example, he made a “documentary” about a guy called David Arthur, who of course was a gay/trans/drug-addict/criminal/pedophile, got infected with HIV and was miraculously cured on his deathbed after he found the lord. Dunn regularly states that all gay people are pedophiles by nature. In one of his latest videos “Are you ready for legion” he advertises tutorial courses he holds for exorcism. Of course these are free, except for the cost of the printed material you get. wink wink .He states that in in some cases these exorcisms wear down on all participants, may cause fatigue and other injuries, even serious harm. But never mind, because everything is better than having demons amongst us. Exorcising adolescents a speciality. I reported him for damgerous conduct and scamming and would appreciate if you did the same. In his latest video “Good boys” he tries to contain himself, yet it is full of homophobic slurs and states that gay and trans people are only waiting to become pedophiles and go after your children, should they not already be after them right now. Of course he is also extremly anti-abortion and calls the abortions either “satanic child sacrifice” or “baby holocaust”. Whoever does not agree with him is blatantly called a Nazi. This is something i am especially disgusted by, because he shares most of their worldviews, especially regarding his homophobic and antisemitic slurs. He and “Call for an uprising” to a large part led me to reconsider my religous worldviews and explore other paradigms.
In “The story of David Arthur” you can learn more about the miracle healing of this guy. It is full of hatespeech. I just found another video where L.A. Marzulli. claims his house burnt down during the california fires and asks for donations. Isn’t it funny how it is always gods good people who get their equipment stolen multiple times like APD or get their house burnt down. Makes you question your faith, doesn’t it ?
They are either related, she’s been inspired by Lord Wanoa or been breathing in the same FOTL Chem Trail because..it’s always about a Council Car Park !
Is that why I took up playing the sitar?
Must be love.
Are all those little bottles in the background Anti-Lice Solution?.
Just taken an opportunity to report Matt Taylor’s latest channel. In his latest video he gives out the name and address of a fellow troll and makes a remark that he hopes he was anally raped in prison.
At 39:25 he names and attacks the Hampstead dad (and hilariously claims he’s MKD and says he’s gonna report the dad to the police for it 😂).
Ooh, good question. Do you find that you’re chansmoking and chanting Hare Krishna more than usual too? 🤔
Batshit, even by Neelu’s standards:
Taylor must fast be approaching the threshold for prosecution…
Criminal Law Act 1967
5 Penalties for concealing offences or giving false information.
(2) Where a person causes any wasteful employment of the police by knowingly making to any person a false report tending to show that an offence has been committed, or to give rise to apprehension for the safety of any persons or property, or tending to show that he has information material to any police inquiry, he shall be liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for not more than six months or to a fine of not more than level 4 on the standard scale or to both.
That joke is at the very minimum 17 years old, and I suspect the only reason the original can’t be found on Google is that it was on CompuServe forums in the 1990s!
Yes, i thought it rang a bell. I bet Neelu thinks it’s real though, lol.
Yes, at a good rate of speed, too.
H says:
Hi – How can I find his (youtube ?) channel ? The only ones I can find have been taken down !
He’s panicked and taken that video down, by the way. But I managed to get a backup copy just in time, which will be forwarded to Sussex Police. He watches this page like a hawk and when he gets wind that we’re gonna report one of his videos to YouTube and/or the authorities, he gets cold feet and takes it down. I should think he wouldn’t want his anti-abuse mates to hear his rant about how he hopes someone got anally raped either. But he may have to suck it up, as I’m putting a highlights vid together as we speak 🙂
He posted those videos of himself reporting that protected witness to police and even said in them that he acknowledged that he was on a suppression order forbidding him from naming him.
This really is endless harassment and a case of making that victim fearful as he wouldn’t know from day to day whether Taylor is going to falsely accuse him or not. The man has children to look after- children who really have been through an awful experience of being tortured into making false allegations.
This mob won’t let it drop. They are a danger to the father and his children. We don’t what deranged person could pick up on these allegations and think they should mete out punishment.
Day after day it’s a battle on here to get their attacking and illegal videos that name people taken down.
More of them must go to jail and be dealt with harshly. I now believe McNeil deserves her lengthy sentence as her campaign has spread far and wide. Her lack of remorse has painted her as a martyr to her followers (not that they really give a stuff about Sabine) and they have taken up where she left off.
“The money won’t be going into John Wanoa’s pocket”..oh yes it will as Wanoa has said many times that the “seed money” can be spent on his living expenses while he sets up his imaginary corporation and he has filmed himself spending it on living expenses at Hong Kong airport etc.
I don’t whether these Wanoa fools are so thick they believe this hogwash or just scammers like Wanoa.
# That Daily Mail article about the Maoris making a claim on a Sydney suburb with the flag and so many similarities to Wanoa but far more organised makes me think they were at this far longer than Wanoa and he has simply nicked their idea and tried to make it his own. The head woman, whatever her FOTL stuff does seem like she may genuinely be related to former Maori “royalty”.
Wanoa’s work history reeks of a man who has tried numerous attempts to make money and he appears to have failed in each venture like his chauffeured car business and as a real estate agent. He’s been booted out of genuine Maori Land Right’s groups as a troublemaker.
He’s a man with a deteriorating mental state who has desperately latched on to a land right’s battle but instead of a few acres in Sydney wants all of Britain. And note: they both even have a car park claim?. But they appear to be reasonably sane (reading their previous Lice Removal prospectus).
I reckon Lord John has hoovered up all their information and it’s come out all garbled as the King’s Park bench Law.
Is Wanoa just another plagiarist like Icke albeit 10 times nuttier?
He remembers riding horses in Manchester! Last time anyone did that was in the Peterloo Massacre.
The head woman, whatever her FOTL stuff does seem like she may genuinely be related to former Maori “royalty”.
Unless, of course, she made it all up. It is a recent addition to her artistic practice. The Daily Fail are not going to waste time investigating someone’s claim to a chiefly genealogy, when they don’t even know the difference between “ancestor” and “descendant”.
PMSL @ 47:20 😂
Rather an apt motto – it’s from Ovid and means “we are all heading for the grave”. “tendimus huc omnes, haec est domus ultima” or “Hither we all make our way; this is our final home”.
One thing I’m sure is true, he will be back – day after tomorrow most likely.
I’m typing this with Matt Taylor warbling in the background. I think he’s channelling the late Ian Drury – sounds like him and quite as funny too, especially when he was talking about the King’s Flag.
Yes, I was wondering how he managed that.
Did you find yourself wanting to hit him with a rhythm stick?
Perhaps Paterson has a MK-ULTRA split personality, so one of his alters regularly threatens to kill anyone who disagrees with him (and in fact claims credit for deaths he imagines to have already occurred), while another is terrified that he is the one threatened with death.
Alternatively, the feckin gutless chickenshit has at most one personality, and it’s absolute garbage.
You may have hit on something. Let’s see what we have here. (1) A person who threatens people with murder. (2) A person who claims he is going to be murdered. All consistent with him being the person who attacked himself.
And am I the only one who thinks that his threat to “counter attack” his imaginary attackers and his proclamation that “these people will be dealt with” is a little sinister? We already know he is mentally unstable.
The Voices have informed praterson of the real identity & address of his imaginary persecutor; told him that he would be acting in justifiable self-defense; and advised him to operate undercover.
Obviously he is more likely to walk under a bus or into a lamppost than he to injure anyone else, but if I were in the UK, I would keep the constabulary informed of his clearly-stated intentions.
Yes I’m only assuming she may have been related to Maori royalty because she presents herself as sane but then again, she is claiming to own half a Sydney suburb in a scheme that is likely to be laughed out of court.
My royal roots however can be easily proved as I still have photos of myself with my late Aunt Marie Antoinette at my 5th birthday party when she famously declared to the assembled guests..”let them eat cake”.
Doubtful he has gone into seclusion.
He seems to get a thrill out of threatening people with instant mulching.
I’ll see his “tendimus huc omnes”, and raise him a “haud ullis labentia ventis”–“yielding under no winds”.
It's All Over Rover says:
Do you think Prattleon and Kaley’s decision to go underground has anything to do with this ?. Looks like the End Of The Road for King’s Park Bench Law although Lord Wanoa is predicting islands will rise from the sea and he has generously proclaimed Andy will have one of those islands (Personally I’d prefer one already inhabited and with good infrastructure- Tahiti would be nice) and others will sink. I’m hoping it’s not the one I’m on- Australia although it’s really a continent and as Queen Nefertiti of Ratehi has announced she owns most of western Sidney (yes she spells it at way such is her attachment to the area) I reckon I’m safe here.
# doesn’t look like anyone has informed Matt Taylor.
And while you’re at it, tell him from me he can “basia culos meos”.
OK, listen up pig people 😃
Where’s the original video?
I might go up there to the Supreme Court myself. I’d like to get a complement slip with a stamp on it. I don’t want to be left out.
Breaking: Hilary Clinton once said she likes pizza 😮
(And a bunch of tinfoil hat wearers are freaking out.)
Good luck with that, Angie 🙄🤦♂️🤪
Hoaxtard fruitloopery alert 🤪
Semolina, this is the sort of thing that irritates me the most about this hoax. If people want to waste their money on John Wanoa’s scam it’s up to them – they’ve been warned but looks like they’ll have to learn the hard way. I’d probably heard of the hoax in a minor way when it was first in the news but heard about it again circa the time of Mrs McNeill’s trial. I don’t know anyone involved in the Hampstead accusations mess personally (well I live a long way away from there) but it saddens me that some years down the line from the original events innocent parties are still being targeted. It will be different children there largely now (children being at primary school for about 6 years from ages 5-11, maybe earlier if there is a nursery class, which many schools do have now) and I would imagine there have been staff changes at the school also, so nasty trolls are having a go at people who weren’t even at the school back in the day. People deserve some peace to go about their everyday lives.
I love Podcasts – listen to them in the car or on public transport – and this a current favourite series : ‘Con Artists’.
Today I listened to this one: Anna Anderson Pt. 1: The False Anastasia
What I like about this series is that the presenter also delves into the psychology of conning and with this latest one the similarities in the mindsets between the matters we discuss here and the fake Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov are revealing and well worth a listen.
https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/parcast/con-artists
# I’m not referring to any single person of course when I mention fake royalty and I would never be so rude to but for some reason the name HRH Grand Duke Wanoa of the British Isles and All Her Dominions ( except for the Australian State of Victoria) comes to mind.
## Another series I have lined up : ‘Conned’ https://connedcast.com/
You can almost imagine Barnett shaking with excitement seeing she has accused every Australian ex-Prime Minister of Satanist Baby Eating including Paul Keating now that the famous photo has appeared of his NY based daughter Katherine Keating emerging from Jeffrey Epsteins’ house and being farewelled by Prince Andrew.
Manna from Heaven for the Devil Fruitloop Brigade.
I like “The Paranoid Strain” (explaining conspiracies) podcast and have recently started listening to Tuesday Money The Elephant Lounge. She covers a variety of matter. She’s recently done the loonier fringe of some fans of a deceased pop singer (think of a documentary that was screened earlier in the year) and is currently covering propaganda.
Aside: I love that film. It has nothing to do with satanism – a woefully underrated satire of (and the clue is in its name) Society. Appears occasionally on The Horror Channel.
But you can tell that man is a Satanist. He’s sweaty in a vest!
LOL, Barbara ‘Babs’ Collier is claiming that she and Edgar ‘Eddieisacock’ John are going to Greece to visit Andy Devine in the next few months.
Can’t they be put on a terrorist watch list or something? 🙄
For I concur:
🤪🤪🤪
Another new Praterson channel to take down:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqnWEutxpL-KGC7vTxwKPXw/videos
Bring it on 🙂
Kaley Einav (aka UmbrellaGrape Solutions) is back and has put up two new videos. At 9:33 in the first one she goes into a Hampstead rant, including naming the boy in the case.
I see she ends the video with another denial about hers, Praterson’s and Devine’s death threats. There’s a tonne of screenshots, videos and sound clips that prove otherwise!
In the second video she just giggles hysterically for 9 minutes. Whether she’s taken something she shouldn’t have or not taken something she should have is anybody’s guess.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
She’s set both videos to private now, lol.
I shouldn’t be surprised… It has been mentioned many times before that a lot of the people involved in the hoax seem to have a dis-proportionally large number of convicted pedophiles in their groups ( business associates that were involved ‘in the trade’) others staying at hoax supporters houses before going on the run…
And now a ‘pedohunter group’ that their ‘head of security has multiple breaches himself….
Unfortunately their actions can actually result in offenders going free, as they don’t follow the rules on obtaining inadmissible evidence- and may indeed cause the complete collapse of existing investigations
https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/coffs-coast-pedo-hunter-poses-as-girl-on-dating-sites-to-confront-paedophiles-20161207-gt5o98.html
“He said the man might be compromising police operations that are already under way or putting himself in danger.”
“I have concerns over mistaken identities, people using other people’s social media accounts, identity theft and fraud … all these could mean an innocent person is publicly humiliated,” he said.”
“East, who is serving a 12-month suspended sentence for a home invasion, said he started posing as an underage girl while “mucking around” on Tinder one night.”
Right- kiddie fiddlers bad, home invasions good- have I got that right Cameron???
They should be banned under law. The fact someone could use another person’s identity never ocurred to me. So dangerous and very suspect.
He was obviously in GMPs mounted unit.
I would expect that anyone planning on committing a crime deliberately would not use their real name….
king john, pratterson, neelu, sabine, abe….
Anyone with any brains that is…
There were a few fake Mouse accounts made by people trying to discredit the Mouse.
Rufus Fook’s been on again…
’tis true. I have hatched a diabolical plan to make a mint smuggling endangered avians and fennel the proceeds into my secret account in no thyme at all.
Before she went private she responded to a post accusing her of being a hypocrite when she attacks Hampstead residents and the ‘protected witness and more importantly- the children- and actually denied she ever had.
Weird or what?.
Fuck off, Neelu 🙄
Go team! 🤭🎯😂
That might be one of the screenshots in my video of her Hampstead rant uploaded earlier. There’s a screenshot of a very insightful comment by a certain Andy Best in there too 🙂
Well, he said he’d be back. And he is 💤
Ooh, the little liar! It was him who started the “Flo is Ogilvy” rumour, with me and numerous other Hoaxtead associates repeatedly trying to tell him that was incorrect. And did he listen? Nope. He blocked us, branded us trolls… and then blamed US for starting the rumour 😂
I’ve never even heard of this bloke who he says is working with us. What the hell has our HR department been up to?
This still gives me a giggle:
Well. I don’t use the “F” word in normal conversation. I blame it on my Catholic upbringing. I may occasionally use the asterisksed “***” for emphasis in written conversation but that is merely literary shorthand for a hard Paddington stare.
However, I think the real take away from this missive from Neelu is that rumours involving her and Edward Ellis are wide of the mark!
👍 🎯 👌
Certain hoaxers (Devine and Kaley in particular) have been banging on about this very topic recently. So this video is well timed and should go a long way towards redressing the balance. Thanks, EC 👍
It has often crossed my mind that most of the people we come across are fairly stupid. A reasonably intelligent person with evil intent might be able to fly completely under the radar. Benjamin Field very nearly got away with his first murder and was only caught because he failed to kill his second victim before she got wise to him.
🙄 🤦♂️ 🤪
Silly Neelu. It only works if you write “I hereby order…”
How rumours spread and become “fact” via misinformed media.
The article linked to claims a “pedophile ring was exposed”. In fact the article only mentions “suspected” rather than a real ring being exposed but I remember this claim because it all turned out to be no more than the sort of people we deal with on here, calling the cops and claiming they heard about a “pedo ring” much like the Hampstead hoax.
The claims fizzled out into nothing and the police quietly dropped the claim just as the media has been hyperventilating over a convicted sex offender suspect (with police assistance) who was cleared as having nothing to do with the William Tyrell case in the Coroner’s Court on Friday.
I find the whole entrapment matter very questionable as it seems to me that it is encouraging pretty sad cases to take action when they may normally never do anything in their lives to break the law. It is of course a “fantasy” crime they are committing- despite my thoughts it IS a crime on the books but is it right?.
How many busted this way have previous convictions?.
The blokes busted must be pretty dense to think a 13 year old girl / boy wants to meet up with them and in real life, how many 13 year olds are out there trying to meet up with older blokes?. It must be pretty rare.
Most child abuse cases..over 90%- happen within the family or involve a family friend. It’s all illegal, awful and distasteful but these ghastly vigilantes fuel the notion there are “pedophile rings” behind every bush.
The very fact that the general public seem ignorant to the reals facts and figures re child abuse demonstrates that vigilantes divert attention away from where most child abuse cases happen.
And how ethical is for middle aged men like this bozo to be on the internet all day pretending to be a 13 year old enticing some desperado to send him nude photos?
It really is a thought crime as this dickhead doesn’t seem to realize that it isn’t illegal to be a pedophile- what’s illegal is acting upon those desires. There is the danger it may prevent real pedophiles who seek help as they fear exposure.

Rumors are Running Rampant
Ahead of Apples big show on Tuesday the rumors are ramping up on what they will show us.
We are expected to see the new iPad 5 and iPad mini 2. We have known a lot about these for a while thanks to several leaks, so we have a good idea on what they will look like. The big topics up for debate are whether Apple will include the retina screen or the Touch ID fingerprint system, which was released on the iPhone 5S, for the mini.
Hoping for Updates
Rumors have been slower on a few awaited items.We are hoping to see the release of the Mac Pro and the new Mavericks OS. Both of these were shown off earlier in the year and we were promised a final date sometime this year. Time is running out, so this seems like the perfect occasion to follow through on that promise.
Apple fans are hoping to see updates on some of their favorite equipment such as the MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, and perhaps even something new for the monitors. Some of these haven’t seen much action in a year or more.
A New Life for iLife?
New on the rumor mill this week is iLife. There have been updated logos this week, which leads people to believe that the apps might be getting some tweaking of their own.
See You Tuesday
One thing many of us want answered on Tuesday is when do the iPads hit stores. If Apple stays true to form we should expect to see them 10 days later, which by my estimation means that they will hit stores around November 1st. Earlier this month there were rumors of supply chain issues, which may end up pushing the release date back. Everything is guesswork at the moment, we will not know for sure until next Tuesday when everyone gathers at the San Francisco event.

R40-1986-Flooding at the Dodder
Flooding at the Dodder..1986..26.08.1986..08.26.1986..28th August 1986..As a result of Hurricane Charly (Charlie) heavy overnight rainfall was the cause of severe flooding in the Donnybrook/Ballsbridge areas of Dublin. In a period of just 12 hours it was stated that 8 inches of rain had fallen. The Dodder,long regarded as a "Flashy" river, burst its banks and caused great hardship to families in the 300 or so homes which were flooded. Council workers and the Fire Brigades did their best to try and alleviate some of the problems by removing debris and pumping out some of the homes affected..Note: "Flashy" is a term given to a river which is prone to flooding as a result of heavy or sustained rainfall...Photograph of motorists trying to avoid the worst of the flooding by driving on the 'wrong' side of the road. Motorists were advised to be vigilant as manhole covers had been displaced by the water pressure and were lying unseen underwater.

SPECIAL FROM NIAID FELLOWS WORKSHOP
Collaborating for Success
BY OMOZUSI ANDREWS, NIAID
“If you want to walk fast, walk alone. If you want to walk far, walk together,” observes an old African proverb that symbolizes the value of collaboration, said National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Training Director Wendy J. Fibison at the 10th annual NIAID Fellows Workshop. Postdocs and graduate students, some of whom had come from as far as NIAID’s labs in Hamilton, Montana, had gathered on April 11 for a day of activities that promised to help them learn how to begin “navigating collaborative avenues for career success.”
To get things started, NIAID Deputy Director Hugh Auchincloss presented a review of the institute’s research achievements, including studies on antiretroviral therapies for patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); the development of vaccines; and the importance of continuing basic-science research.
Trainees were then provided a variety of career options beyond the bench during the “Career Options” panel discussion. Panel members—whose jobs ranged from senior lead reviewer at the FDA to the China Media Project manager for the American Institute of Physics—advised the trainees to build their communication, teamwork, and networking skills.
Gaia Vasiliver-Shamis (Director of Career Development at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta), who said she got her job through networking, urged trainees to “play well with others in the sandbox” and learn how to interact with their managers. She also encouraged trainees to think about the workplace culture when accepting a job. Other panelists spoke about the importance of time management, conducting informational interviews, prioritizing work, and enrolling in networking and other classes for self-improvement.
The panelists also described successful experiences during their job search as well as useful lessons they had learned throughout their careers. In response to the question, “What things would you have done differently as a postdoc?” some shared that they wished they had explored opportunities away from the bench, tried new things so they could break out of their comfort zone, and networked more. It was refreshing to hear the similarities and differences among the panelists’ experiences. Given the challenges of the job market, trainees were inspired by the words from FDA’s Cynthia Chang, who commented, “Your career and your job do not define you.”
The trainees enjoyed a networking lunch with invited guests and former NIH postdocs and afterwards attended a “Research Management” panel discussion that also echoed the theme of collaboration. The three panelists—a medical science liaison at AstraZeneca, an assistant professor of medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine (Indianapolis), and an investigator at the National Cancer Institute (NCI)—shared their strategies for landing bench-specific jobs including formulating e-mails, assessing career websites, maintaining a visible LinkedIn profile, and relying on word of mouth.
NCI investigator Joe Ziegelbauer advised trainees to “learn how to quickly immerse” themselves in their new environments. The “Research Management” panelists also encouraged trainees to master and merge more than one field such as bioinformatics with their research, improve their time-management and grant-writing skills, and actively build their own niche.
In his keynote address, Keith Micoli (Director of the Postdoctoral Program at New York School of Medicine in New York) urged trainees to take purposeful steps towards their future goals. He likened the journey after postdoctoral training to a challenging solo 125-mile hike that he completed in roughly 10 days. His hike taught him valuable lessons including the importance of being committed to your goals, knowing the difference between needs and wants, understanding the requirements of success, doing your best, and never giving up.
The workshop was sponsored by the NIAID Office of Training and Diversity. The theme, speaker selection, and program were almost entirely executed by the NIAID Fellows Workshop Planning Committee, which was led by NIAID postdoctoral fellow Caleb McKinney and NIAID graduate student Jessica Hostetler.

7 Ways Ricky Is Blessing The Nation
by Ashleigh-Ann Mowatt
27- Year- Old Ricardo Lorenza Gordon (stage name Ricky Blessing) of Kitson Town, St. Catherine got saved when he was only seven years old, primarily influenced by his Christian upbringing.
Being a Christian at that age proved to be challenging because he didn’t really understand the true meaning of living for Christ. However, as he grew in church he learnt more and more about Jesus and His plan for mankind.
Ricky Blessing realised that music was an avenue to reach the lost and down-trodden.
Now let’s look at how Ricky Blessing uses his music to change lives.
How did you come up with the name “Ricky Blessing”?
The name Ricky Blessing come up by talking about gospel music one day with a friend of mine. The conversation came up about some of the popular gospel artist names and the meaning of their names. So my friend said I can give myself the name Ricky Blessing, which everyone know me as Ricky and Blessings at the end, so where ever I go or where ever my music play people will easily recognize me. I believe the name Ricky comes with a blessing to bind up broken heart, set the captive free, and encourage.
What makes your songs different from others?
The difference with my songs is that all of my songs are written though the inspiration of Jesus’ work in my life and my testimony of the victory I get through the most difficult and challenging times of my life. All of my songs are written to save souls, bind up broken hear, and encourage anyone in a positive way.
What was your inspiration behind your #1 song ‘Nah Fear Nuh Enemy’?
The inspiration for writing my first (song) “Nah fear nuh enemy “came while going through one of the hardest times of my life. I was faced with numerous attacks from the enemy. This song is a reminder to Christians that no matter the situation in life, as long as you have faith and trust in the lord, we can overcome our difficulties. This was followed shortly by ‘Jesus a di saviour’. This song is a tower of strength to me whenever I need encouragement. One of my main objectives is to become a minister of the Lord and a role model to people, especially the youths.
How would you describe your journey in the music industry?
Well since I’ve been doing music the journey has been very challenging, because it’s not easy doing music as a young artiste and not getting the support you need. It’s a tough journey however the Lord always make a way.
What is your view on secular music?
Well my view on secular music is that through some of the songs people are receiving so many bad messages and it has an influence on the listeners; however I come with a positive message to each and every one, because positive music can change that and make a difference.
How do you think you can impact the society?
I think I can impact the society through the positive message that is coming from my songs. So much wrong doing and negative music is robbing children of their future. That’s why I looked up to artistes like George Banton and Glen Graham who are singing the gospel in a positive way. Hence, I think with a positive message coming my music that will help to bring a change to society.
What is your advice to youths going through hard times?
My encouragement to the youths who are going through hard times is to let them know that dreams were made to be realized; however, in those dreams we need to have a plan, in order to accomplish our true purpose in life. A quitter never wins, and youths are too strong to give up.
Thanks for the words of encouragement Ricky Blessing and for sharing your story. Wow! I feel blessed.
Ricky Blessing is among the young entertainers to perform on the Youth Stars stage in February 2016, only heard on the best community radio station in Kingston, ROOTS 96.1FM

A Clash of Kings: Graphic Novel Vol. 2
By George R. R. Martin
Signed Hardcover
The second volume in a four-part full-color graphic novel adaptation of the second book in George R. R. Martin’s landmark A Song of Ice and Fire series, the inspiration for HBO’s Game of Thrones.
Clash of Kings Graphic Novel Vol. 1
The four-part graphic novel adaptation of A Game of Thrones proved that George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire has the power to enchant in any medium. Now the story continues as New York Times bestselling author Landry Q. Walker and illustrator Mel Rubi introduce a thrilling new series based on the second book in the landmark saga. Time is out of joint.
Game of Thrones Graphic Novel Vol. 1
You’ve read the books. You’ve watched the hit series on HBO. Now acclaimed novelist Daniel Abraham and illustrator Tommy Patterson bring George R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy masterwork A Game of Thrones to majestic new life in the pages of this full-color graphic novel. Comprised of the initial six issues of the graphic series, this is the first volume in what is sure to be one of the most coveted collaborations of the year.
Novelist Daniel Abraham and illustrator Tommy Patterson are not merely turning George R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy A Game of Thrones into a graphic novel: They are meticulously translating one art form into another, and capturing the intricate nuances of Martin’s novels just as HBO is doing with the blockbuster series. The Abraham/Patterson collaboration is more than just a faithful adaptation. It is a labor of love—and a thrilling masterwork in its own right.
When dealing with a masterpiece, only the best will do. That’s why writer Daniel Abraham and illustrator Tommy Patterson were chosen to adapt George R. R. Martin’s beloved fantasy classic A Game of Thrones as a graphic novel. And as anyone who has read the previous two collected volumes of the ongoing series can attest, the result has been a stunning tour de force faithful in every respect to its brilliant original
Bestselling writer Daniel Abraham and acclaimed illustrator Tommy Patterson bring their stunning graphic-novel adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s classic A Game of Thrones to a stunning finish that merits a place alongside the majestic original on the bookshelf of every fantasy fan. The death of King Robert Baratheon and the imprisonment of his Hand, Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell, has set the great houses of Westeros at one another’s throats. In Winterfell, Eddard’s eldest son and heir, Robb Stark, has gathered an army and is pushing south, determined to free his father. Along the way, he pledges to marry the daughter of Lord Walder Frey in exchange for a military advantage that allows him to capture Jaime Lannister—a powerful bargaining chip to ensure Lord Eddard’s safe release. But it is one thing to capture the Kingslayer and quite another to hold him. Meanwhile, in King’s Landing, young King Joffrey has other ideas than an exchange of prisoners. Ignoring the advice of his mother, Queen Cersei, he throws oil on the flames of conflict and ignites a conflagration that seems likely to consume not only the Starks but all of Westeros—unless Tyrion Lannister, the Imp, can bring the mad boy-king to heel. Beyond the Wall, greater dangers are brewing, as a winter as brutal as any in history approaches, bringing with it unnatural creatures out of legend. There, Eddard’s bastard, Jon Snow, must decide once and for all where his loyalties lie. And across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen will learn the true measure of grief—and emerge from its fiery depths transformed, hardened, and ready to claim what is hers by right: the Iron Throne.
Starport

Based on a TV pilot script written by George R. R. Martin in 1994 and adapted and illustrated by Hugo Award–nominated artist Raya Golden, this bold and brilliant graphic novel adaptation at last brings Martin’s singular vision to rollicking life. With all the intrigue, ingenuity, and atmosphere that made A Game of Thrones a worldwide phenomenon, Starport launches a new chapter in the career of a sci-fi/fantasy superstar.
Stranded: A Novel
By Bracken MacLeod

The Last Ranch

Windhaven Graphic Novel
A full-color graphic novel adaptation of the first fantasy novel from the bestselling author of A Game of Thrones, co-written with Lisa Tuttle.
FOR SOME DREAMS, THE SKY IS NO LIMIT.
Among the scattered islands of the ocean-bound world called Windhaven, no one holds more prestige than the silver-winged flyers—humans borne on handcrafted wings who cross treacherous seas, braving shifting winds and sudden storms, to bring news, gossip, songs, and stories to Windhaven’s far-flung communities. Maris of Lesser Amberly is only a fisherman’s daughter, but as much a descendant of the star sailors who founded her world as the flyer family who adopted her. She yearns to soar high above the water on the sky’s buffeting currents.

With Bolton's departure, an Iran hawk leaves the chessboard
By Arshad Mohammed
Reuters 11 September 2019
National Security Advisor Bolton listens as U.S. President Trump speaks while meeting with NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg at White House in Washington
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - John Bolton's departure from the White House removes an obstacle to the possibility of U.S.-Iranian nuclear talks, but the odds of such a dialogue leading anywhere remain low, current and former U.S. officials said on Tuesday.
President Donald Trump fired his national security adviser, a hawk on Iran who as a private citizen had advocated military action to destroy its nuclear program and who disagreed with his boss on policies from Afghanistan to Russia while in office.
Trump's third national security adviser, Bolton had argued for driving Iranian oil exports to zero and against Trump's desire to meet Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
"Bolton has been 'Dr. No' when it comes to talks with Iran," Cliff Kupchan, a former State Department official now at the Eurasia Group political risk consultancy, wrote in an analysis.
While Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei probably would not allow a meeting at this month's U.N. General Assembly, Kupchan said: "There's upward pressure on the chance of a meeting. If it does happen, we'd see more downward umph on the oil price."
U.S. oil prices fell more than 1 percent on the news of Bolton's departure, with investors betting that it increased the odds of the United States easing sanctions on Iran and reduced the odds of any possible U.S. military strike.
With Bolton's support, Trump last year abandoned the 2015 multilateral agreement reached by his Democratic predecessor, Barack Obama, under which Iran agreed to limit its nuclear program in return for the easing of economic sanctions.
Trump has since restored U.S. sanctions and moved in May to try to cut Iran's oil exports, historically its main source of foreign exchange and government revenues, to zero.
The Republican president argued the 2015 agreement did not do enough to keep Iran from eventually obtaining a nuclear weapon and he criticized it for failing to address Iran's ballistic missile program and support for regional proxies.
Iran says its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes, such as power generation, and not to make bombs.
'COMPLETELY ALIGNED'
At a briefing, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he, Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were "completely aligned on our maximum pressure campaign."
Administration officials believe pressure will eventually force Iran to yield to their demands for, among other things, much more intrusive inspections of nuclear sites.
Asked at the same briefing if he could foresee a Trump-Rouhani meeting this month, Pompeo replied: "Sure."
"The president has made very clear he is prepared to meet with no preconditions," Pompeo added.
A former senior Trump administration official described Pompeo and Mnuchin as "softer" on Iran than Bolton and said that meant there was a chance for a Rouhani meeting if the Iranians dropped their demand for a full lifting of sanctions first.
Other current and former U.S. officials said there had never been much doubt that a meeting, at least from Trump's point of view, was conceivable but that the odds of either side being willing to compromise were low.
"The problem has never been imagining talks between the two sides," said Phil Gordon, a former Obama State Department and White House official, saying Trump had shown through his talks with North Korea that he "loves to be at the center of things."
"The problem, instead, is envisaging a deal that both sides could actually agree to. It is hard to see the Iranians accepting current U.S. conditions, which include ending uranium enrichment forever, even more intrusive inspections, constraints on ballistic missiles and a complete change in Iran's regional policy," he added.
"So to get a deal, Trump would have to significantly lower the bar, which would be hard to sell domestically and in the region," Gordon said. "Bolton's departure may remove one obstacle to that, but there are plenty still in the way."

Review: House of Holes – Nicholson Baker
by Ina Morata Author
After I wrote about Georges Bataille’s Story of the Eye, I ended up having various discussions, both publicly and privately, about its bizarre nature and just where it left our own views over what is and is not erotic. Ho use of Holes is another one of those books which has generated a lot of discussion.
I first encountered Nicholson Baker’s work quite by chance a couple of years ago, when I was having real problems reading the erotic classic, The Way of a Man with a Maid, and actively resisting its themes (for anyone who knows it, I still haven’t finished it – maybe I should challenge myself to, so I can discuss it on here). Anyway, I wanted something very different to read. Well, I found it!
If you want reality, then forget it. House of Holes centres round a dreamscape brothel, where people have their wildest fantasies fulfilled in exchange for huge payments. People enter the House of Holes by really weird means, a bit like falling down a range of very strange rabbit holes; I saw a review on Amazon which described it as cross between hardcore porn and Alice in Wonderland, and that sums it up for me. I think my favourite means of arrival is through the hole in the end of a penis, but entry via washing machine is fun, too.
There’s an awful lot of fantasy being indulged in here in this brothel, but it’s not all about pure pleasure, either. There are punishments, which are just as crazy. Various sexy body parts are removed and placed on other people, for instance, and even heads are removed. But punishments are not even really that; nothing is permanent: sex organs return, and the body continues to function without its head before being returned to wholeness.
I confess to having a particular, favourite part: drip fed through the book is a story of a dismembered arm, which appears at the start and seduces a young woman. She falls for the arm – both its sexual abilities and its owner’s personality which she manages to access through the appendage – and a very cute little love story develops around it. At least, I think it’s cute. Maybe I’m just a romantic at heart, or maybe I’m as mad as the book… But I like the idea of a bond developing despite the missing parts – sight, voice and a full body for him, and an almost complete lack of knowledge of his physical being for her. Whether the arm finds its body, or whether the woman ever gets to experience more than just the arm of its owner (with or without the arm intact), I shall leave you to discover for yourself!
I utterly adore House of Holes. It stands out for me as being all manner of all things: highly erotic – in a bizarre kind of way – while being very funny, completely ludicrous, and touching on almost as many sexual fantasies and adventures as there are pages in the book. Yet, even through all its crazy narrative, it still manages to raise subtle questions about the erotic and emotions, about consent, and about psychology of the erotic. It’s also the best satire on porn I’ve come across.
Nicholson Baker stated in interviews that he enjoyed writing it, and, to be quite honest, that’s not at all hard to figure out. There’s an energy to the writing that sweeps you up as a reader – if you really ‘get’ it. I have no doubt that I will return to Nicholson Baker with posts on The Fermata and Vox (which I read on the train – what is it about me and erotica on trains? I keep mentioning that). But House of Holes is really something else, believe me! If you’ve never come across it, I would urge you to read it, if not now, then some day.
Take a closer look at House of Holes on Amazon.com.

I’ve fallen totally in love with this book. Thank you so much for recommending it to me.
I’ve made notes as I go on all the freakishly fantastic smutty words as I go along.
Fuckwizard, Cockslurp and simmering chickenshack are words so well and truly embedded in my phone’s dictionary, that they often come up on autocorrect.
The writing style is so full of sniggering school boy humour, that you can’t help but love every disgusting word of it.
Ina Morata says:
I knew you’d love it! I’m so glad you have done.
The language is great, isn’t it?! It’s enough to make you grin all on its own, even without all the shenanigans. Fuckwizard is definitely my favourite.
And yeah, your autocorrect has a dirty mind! 😂
lurvspanking says:
I wonder what would happen if I sent in a submission along these lines? 😉
Oh, write one, please! Even if it’s just for me! PLEASE let me read it! You’d do it sooooo well, with your amazing inventiveness. It’s a fairground for your erotic imagination.
*silly, excited dance. Wonders how I can persuade you* 😀
Now that’s a dance I want to see. 😂
You would! 😂
I might need to drink more than tea! And be made very excited (obviously!). 😀
Sounds like a challenge to me. 🙂
Could be. 😊

Recent Privacy Breach Convictions Under Alberta’s Health Information Act
Posted on October 15, 2019 by Jean Eaton in Blog
In August 2018, Alberta proclaimed amendments to the Health Information Act (HIA) that requires healthcare providers (custodians) to report a privacy breach with a risk of significant harm to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC), the Ministry of Health of Alberta, and of course, to patients affected by the privacy breach.
This requirement that custodians must report a privacy breach to the to the OIPC has resulted in a huge increase in the number of reported privacy breaches in healthcare.
Custodians includes healthcare providers like physicians, pharmacists, chiropractors, dentists, optometrists, registered nurses, health authorities, and more
This is not unexpected. We in healthcare know that there are many privacy breaches that happen everyday. Many of these breaches are honest mistakes. However, an increasing number are intentional, malicious actions intended to harm others.
The benefit of having these breaches reported to a regulator is to improve compliance to reasonable safeguards to protect the health information of Alberta residents. And, as a result, more custodians and affiliates (people that work for a custodian) are being held accountable under the HIA legislation to ensure that they are meeting the reasonable safeguards.
In the first year of mandatory privacy breach notification, the OIPC has received over 1,000 reports. Previously, when privacy breach reporting was discretionary, the OIPC received an average of 130 voluntary reports of privacy breaches annually.
What Happens When A Privacy Breach Is Reported To The OIPC
When a privacy breach is reported to the OIPC, the OIPC will review the report and consider the custodian’s determination if a reasonable risk to the patient(s) was present. The OIPC will review the report and consider:
agree (or not) with the determination of risk of harm
was the patient notified appropriately
is there an offence under the HIA
is an investigation warranted
If an investigation is indicated, the OIPC will conduct the investigation and report their findings to the Crown prosecutors at Alberta Justice. The Crown will determine if it will continue to press charges under the HIA.
Under the recent amendments to the HIA a custodian or an affiliate or both could if found guilty of an offence is liable for a fine anywhere between $2,000 to $500,000 depending on the circumstances and the nature of the offense. Other sanctions may also be applied by the court.
It takes time to report a privacy breach, have it reviewed and investigated by the OIPC and the Crown, and have individuals charged and appear in court.
We are now starting to see the first cases charged after the August 2018 amendments coming to court and privacy breach convictions under the HIA.
Unauthorized Access By Employees
During a routine internal audit of health records in the Alberta Public Laboratories clinical lab at the Red Deer Regional Hospital identified unauthorized access by lab employees. These breaches were first identified by the hospital during a routine audit of their electronic record systems. The internal investigation between December 2018 and May 2019 identified 2,158 patient records were accessed. Alberta Health Services reported that 30 staff were involved in these breaches and three staff are no longer employed by the lab.
Do you do routine audits? Here’s how.
There have been three recent decisions in from the Alberta provincial courts as a result of mandatory privacy breach reporting legislation.
Suspicious Activity Leads to Investigation And Charges
In June 2018, Alberta Health Services (AHS) received reports of suspicious activity by a billing clerk in Red Deer. An internal audit and investigation indicated that the clerk accessed the health records of 52 Albertans without authorization. AHS reported the breaches to the OIPC in June 2018.
The OIPC opened an offence investigation and referred its findings to the Specialized Prosecutions Branch of Alberta Justice. Charges were laid in July 2019. The former AHS billing clerk received a $5,000 fine on August 2019 and was ordered not to access health information for one year.
Snooping By A Clinic Employee
In another case, an Edmonton medical clinic employee was fined after pleading guilty to health data breach. The employee knowingly accessed health information of two people and made suspicious statements to the two individuals about their personal medical details. The individuals then requested access to the audit logs and the provincial electronic health record system, Alberta Netcare.
The individuals reported a complaint to the OIPC at which point the OIPC conducted an investigation.
The employee was charged in March 2019 and plead guilty in provincial court on September 26, 2019. She was fined $3,500 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of $525.
Are Your Employees Privacy Aware? Start now!
Unauthorized Access By A Billing Clerk
On September 30, 2019 in Red Deer Provincial Court a billing clerk with Alberta Health Services was fined $8,000 for illegally accessing health records. The clerk opened health records of 81 people over 4,7471 occasions without authorization from his employer and custodian. The court also added the following conditions
1-year probation
order to attend treatment and counselling and
not be employed in a position that allows him access to health information for 1 year
We will continue to see investigations under the HIA at appearing in our courts. The OIPC is currently investigating over 20 incidents and has flagged 70 more as potential offences.
Each of these incidents involved employees making poor choices about accessing patient health information. Reasonable prevention steps include privacy awareness training for every employee, healthcare provider, and contractor. In addition, every healthcare practice should be, monitoring access to records with routine audits and applying sanctions.
We obviously don’t speak often enough about what is acceptable, appropriate, and authorized access to patient’s health information.
Preventing a privacy breach is always less expensive than managing a privacy breach.
A privacy breach management plan will help you to prevent a breach and, when a breach happens, identify a privacy breach early to limit the risk of harm, size, and the cost of the breach.
When we know better, we can do better…
I’ve helped hundreds of healthcare practices prevent privacy breach pain like this. If you would like to discuss how I can help your practice, just send me an email. I am here to help you protect your practice.

Healthcare Policies And Procedures: Essential in EVERY practice
Policies and Procedures: What Are They and Why Do Healthcare Practices Need Them?
Policies and procedures are essential tools in EVERY healthcare practice.
We use written policies and procedures to ensure consistent office procedures and good communication between team members, but it doesn’t stop there.
Before we get to the many benefits of healthcare policies and procedures, let’s cover exactly what these terms mean.
Policies and procedures defined
For our purposes today, this is what we mean by these terms:
Policy: A set of ideas or plans that is used as a basis for making decisions.
Procedure: A fixed, step-by-step sequence of activities or course of action.
Both policies and procedures serve several important purposes in a healthcare practice.
Policies and procedures can help you:
Protect your practice with consistency in decision making and implementing routine tasks.
Provide team members direction and guidelines; help avoid micromanaging. Here’s more information on how policy and procedure checklists help with employee privacy and security.
Ensure quality and cost-effective processes.
Well thought out policies and procedures reduce re-work and make for more efficient practices.
Encourage team members to work to their full scope of responsibilities.
Contribute to compliance, including professional standards, HIA, insurance.
Protect your healthcare practice by demonstrating your administrative safeguards.
As powerful and effective as policies and procedures can be, they can also pose certain problems or risks if they’re not implemented properly — or if they don’t exist in the first place.
On that note, if you have policies and procedures in place, it’s also imperative to know where they are. Don’t miss this cautionary tale where I tell you why.
If your policies and procedures are unclear or non-existent, these are some of the risks you expose a healthcare practice to:
Fines and even jail time for the healthcare provider
Increased conflict and potential for misunderstanding within a practice
Increased conflict between employees, misunderstanding, and poor customer service
Poor business decisions and wasted time and money
Simply talking about your policies and procedures is not a good business strategy! You need to have clear healthcare policies and procedures in place if you want to reap all of their benefits.
So, let’s go over what makes a good healthcare policy with a clear and effective design.
Policies ask WHY and WHAT
Policies are the steps to put your goals into action — policies are proactive.
The WHY: Why is this policy needed? It is the general guide for decision-making.
The WHAT: What do you want to show for programs, activities, and services?
Each year, policies need to be reviewed and authorized by the clinic manager, privacy officer, healthcare provider and/or owners. Your team members need the opportunity to review and understand the policies regularly, too.
Review policies to assure that they reflect what the clinic is doing and that the clinic is following the written policy. Changes may need to be completed and approved.
Now, let’s cover what makes for good procedures before we get to how to create your manual.
Procedures ask HOW
The HOW: How you plan to carry out the objectives and details listed in your policies?
Your procedures should include sufficient detail so a new employee can complete a task based on the information provided.
We’ve discussed the objectives of your policies and procedures for your healthcare practice, now here are some useful tips for actually creating your policies and procedures manual:
Include screen prints if computer-based.
Include video explanations.
Format the policy and procedures so that each policy or procedure is a separate, stand-alone document.
Assign a NUMBER to each policy and procure to make it easy to reference in your PIA, or direct your staff to review. You can use any numbering system that you want — I usually use a sequential numbering system.
Headings make it easier to group your information which makes it easier for the reader to review and then focus on the details that they need. Repeat the same headings throughout the policies and procedures to provide consistency across the manual. Use the headings as needed; not all policies or procedures need all the headings.
Cite legislative and standards requirements, like the HIA.
When you’re implementing changes to these policies and procedures or creating them in the first place, be sure to involve key parties. This includes:
Custodian/trustee/business owner
Clinic manager/team lead
Remember, implementing a new procedure or policy successfully must always include training and discussion with your team.
Stay tuned for an upcoming post where we discuss which policies and procedures to include In your healthcare practice and your privacy impact assessment.

Posted on September 24, 2019 by Jean Eaton in Blog
Maybe you’ve heard you need written policies and procedures for your health information, but you’re left asking yourself why it’s so important?
The truth is, without written policies and procedures, you open a healthcare practice up to a whole host of problems, including major legal issues.
In fact, every business needs good practices that apply to your:
Information that you collect from patients/clients
Business practices including electronic (or paper) patient records, and computer network
Billing, collection, and payment processing
Within the healthcare industry, there are additional legislation requirements that require specific written health information policies and procedures.
The Health Information Act (HIA) and the Personal Information Privacy Act (PIPA)
As we mentioned, when a custodian collects health information, you must follow the Health Information Act (HIA) in Alberta.
Like most other private businesses in Alberta, private healthcare practices must also comply with the Personal Information Privacy Act (PIPA).
The colleges of regulated health professionals (like the Alberta Dental Association and College (ADAC) and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA), require dentists and physicians to meet the standards of practice which includes compliance to HIA and PIPA legislation.
In addition, the college has other standards of practice that you must meet, including policies and procedures for the collection, use, disclosure, and access of health information.
So, let’s explore further why written policies and procedures are so essential, as well as what can happen without them, and why healthcare practices may not think they need them in the first place.
Benefits of Policies and Procedures
One of the most critical benefits of having policies and procedures in place is that they’re good for business.
They contribute to consistent, efficient workflow.
You can figure it out once, write the procedure, tweak it to make it better, and then repeat the same procedure again and again.
They help you make better business decisions, like buying supplies, choosing services, and selecting vendors.
They help support your accreditation efforts.
On-boarding employees the right way with no missed steps is much easier with policies and procedures in place.
If you’re looking for even more proof of the benefits of having written procedures, it can also help you avoid:
Internal disputes within your team and external disputes with your patients and clients
Re-work and re-training employees
Poor reputation
Fines And Penalties For Not Having Written Policies And Procedures
You might be wondering why you would face fines and penalties for not having written policies and procedures in the first place.
The HIA requires the custodian – which includes the dentist or dental hygienist – to take reasonable safeguards to protect the privacy and confidentiality of patients’ health information.
Having written policies and procedures is a common, expected, and reasonable safeguard.
Let’s say you have a privacy breach in your practice or an error (like sending a fax to the wrong number or you are a victim of a phishing or ransomware attack).
You can learn more about what makes a privacy breach a privacy breach here.
If you can’t demonstrate that you had the appropriate reasonable safeguards, like written policies and procedures in place, you are guilty of an offence under the law.
It’s illegal not to have policies and procedures when you collect health information.
If you are guilty of this offence, you are liable for a fine of a minimum of $2,000 and not more than $500,000. (HIA section 107(7)).
3 Policies and Procedures Myths
One reason some healthcare practices fail to have written policies and procedures is because they believe they don’t need them.
Often, this is because they’ve fallen prey to the common myths about policies and procedures.
There are 3 of the common myths that stop healthcare providers and their clinic managers from creating written policies and procedures:
It’s Too Hard
While it does take some skill to write clear, easy to read, and easy to understand policies and procedures, it doesn’t have to be heard. In fact, you can even purchase templates to make this easier.
It Takes Too Much Time
Writing policies and procedures does take some time.
But investing the time to create policies and procedures pays off by preventing suffering from inconsistent or broken procedures, using or disclosing health information in error, and having to pay fines, penalties, public relations nightmares, or spending the time required to run a privacy or security investigation.
It’s A Waste Of Time
Here are a few good reasons that prove writing policies and procedures is not a waste of time:
Practical privacy policies and procedures will create a more efficient practice and help you make better business decisions.
The policies and procedures become the foundation of your privacy impact assessment.
Policies and procedures are pre-requisites for other initiatives, like access to Netcare or other community integration initiatives, and privacy impact assessment (PIA). Click here to learn more about PIAs.
You must have them as part of your legislative compliance.
It’s the law. Not having policies and procedures regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and access of health information is illegal.
As you can see, written policies and procedures help ensure consistent office procedures and good communication between team members in your healthcare practice.
In addition to those good reasons, you must have good written policies and procedures about how you collect, use, disclose, and provide access to health information to avoid legal problems, fees, penalties, and other problems.

Do You Use Employee Privacy and Security Policy and Procedure Checklist Templates?
Why Do You Need Employee Onboarding and Exiting Checklists?
There is much excitement when we welcome a new hire to our team and many administrative tasks need to take place to get this individual up and running.
Policies and procedures must be in writing, available to employees, and monitored to ensure that they are followed to protect patient privacy as required by our professional colleges and privacy legislation. Otherwise, you face all sorts of risks, including privacy breaches and other legal problems.
To ensure that onboarding a new employee is a smooth transition, it is imperative to follow a practical checklist procedure to make sure no important steps are missed. There are also many other managerial benefits to adopting this high-quality process
Better job performance and satisfaction
Greater commitment to protecting privacy in the organization
Reduced stress and better staff retention
Employee Privacy and Security Checklist
Policies and procedures is a reasonable safeguard to protect the personal and health information entrusted to us. But polices and good intentions alone is not enough; we also need to take action to ensure our policies are understood and being followed by all our employees.
Training new and existing staff on privacy and security best practices is instrumental in making your healthcare practice a success and maintaining its fine reputation. Following a systematic approach to welcoming a new employee, transitioning an existing employee into a new position, or offboarding an employee who is exiting will guarantee that valuable privacy and security training and accesses are completed.
Read this Privacy Breach Nugget that explains what can happen if you don’t have these good practices in place. Do You Know Where Your Policies And Procedures Are?
New Employee Orientation / Onboarding
New employees are a welcome addition to any team and there is a vast amount of training that needs to take place from general procedures on how to handle phone calls to signing confidentiality oaths to becoming familiar with all policies and procedures, in addition to learning the everyday job duties for their own position.
Since privacy is good for business, we do not want to miss any important opportunities to train our new staff on privacy and security best practices. Using the Employee Privacy and Security Checklist will help facilitate training discussions and document the authorized accesses of each employee.
Existing Employees / Annual Review
The checklist will also act as a tool for each employee at their performance review. Provide positive feedback and observations of an employee’s successes in protecting personal information. Discuss opportunities for improvement, too. This is also a good time to review an employee’s current authorized role based accesses and determine if any changes to match the employee’s current job duties is needed.
Ensure that the employee still has ‘tokens’ that they were given at the time of their hire, like identity badge, keys to the clinic or Alberta Netcare RSA fob.
Privacy and security best practice dictate that confidentiality oaths should be signed on an annual basis and annual privacy awareness and security refresher training should also be provided to all employees. In the event of a privacy incident or breach, it is imperative that a healthcare practice can prove by their documentation that regular privacy and security training is provided to their staff.
Transferring / Exiting Employees
When an employee transitions into a new role or is terminated, review, and update the privacy and security checklist to ensure that access and permissions are appropriately modified or terminated.
Custodian Responsibility
Custodians have an obligation to ensure reasonable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of health information. This includes having appropriate policies and procedures in place, as well as demonstrating and documenting that you have implemented your plans. This is a requirement of professional college standards of practice and privacy legislation like the Health Information Act (HIA).

This is a cautionary tale.
And it could save you a lot of embarrassment – even legal issues.
The way a healthcare provider collects, uses and discloses personal health information (PHI) is critical to an efficient healthcare practice.
It’s also required by legislation and professional college regulations and standards.
Policies and procedures must be in writing, available to employees, and monitored to ensure that they are followed. Otherwise, you face all sorts of risks, including privacy breaches and other legal problems.
Policies and procedures must be in writing, available to employees, and monitored to ensure that they are followed. #PoliciesClick to Tweet
Don't let this happen to you!
Everyone in a healthcare practice — including front office staff, wellness practitioners and physicians and other custodians — must be aware of and follow these policies and procedures.
These policies and procedures also become the foundation of your privacy impact assessment (PIA).
That’s why, in this Privacy Breach Nugget, we’ll review a privacy breach investigation report from Alberta's Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC). Whether you have a new practice, or an existing practice, we have a number of services and resources designed to help you manage your practice in a way that not only meets legal requirements, but is streamlined and efficient, and keep your information secure.
This report started with an employee suspected of accessing health information for an unauthorized purpose.
It started with at the clinic with a conflict between the employees and the employer.
An employee (Employee A) was on leave from her position at the clinic. Her access to the electronic medical record (EMR) was suspended during her leave.
Employee A wanted to access patient information to support her dispute with management. Over two months, Employee A used Employee B’s credentials to access patient records.
This action is in contravention of the Health Information Act (HIA) sections 27 and 28.
This is where this case becomes even more convoluted and, in fact, a better case study of what not to do.
Understanding the Health Information Act
The Health Information Act (HIA) requires the custodian (the physician, in this case) to take reasonable steps to maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect patient privacy as required by sections 60 and 63 of the HIA, and section 8 of the Health Information Regulation.
In November 2013, the clinic submitted a privacy impact assessment (PIA) to the OIPC prior to its implementation of an electronic medical record (EMR).
The PIA included written policies and procedures.
The letter to the OIPC accompanying the PIA was signed by two physicians, as well as Employee A who was the privacy officer at that time.
The physician named in the investigative report is not the current custodian at the clinic. The physician was hired in 2015 and therefore not a member of the clinic in 2013 and not involved in the initial PIA submission.
During the investigation, both employees indicated that the policies and procedures to protect patient privacy were in a binder in the clinic, but it was never used or shared with the staff.
Oaths of confidentiality may have been previously signed by the employees, but the documents could not be produced during the investigation.
Section 8 (6) of the Regulation states the ‘custodian must ensure its affiliates are aware of and adhere to all of the custodians administrative, technical, and physical safeguards in respect of health information.’
It’s common practice for clinics to require employees to sign confidentiality agreements and ensure that they receive patient privacy awareness training with regular updates.
But in this investigation, the employees said they never received privacy awareness training.
Access To Patient Information
The employees also stated it was common practice at this clinic for individuals to not log off of their EMR account on the computers at the reception desks. It was common practice for other employees to access an open session to quickly perform a task in the EMR.
The investigator concluded that the physician was in contravention of the HIA section 63(1) which requires custodians to establish or adopt policies and procedures that would facilitate the implementation of the Act and regulations.
These specific findings were made:
The custodian failed to ensure the clinic employees were made aware of and adhered to the safeguards put in place to protect health information in contradiction contravention of section 8(6) of the regulation.
The custodian was in contravention of section 8(6) of the regulation which requires custodians to ensure that their affiliates are aware of and adhere to all of the custodian’s administrative, technical, and physical safeguards with respect to health information. It’s important to note any collection use or disclosure of health information by an affiliate of a custodian is considered to be the collection, use, and disclosure by the custodian.
The custodian failed to ensure the employee and the other clinic staff adhered to technical safeguards as required by section 60 of the HIA and section 8(6) of the regulations.
Privacy Breach Nuggets You Need to Know
Privacy breaches are in the news every day. The more you know how breaches can affect you allows you to be more proactive to prevent privacy breach pain.
Get Your Privacy Documents In Order
To protect yourself and your practice from patient privacy breaches (and massive fines, see the conclusion to this article), follow these steps.
Find your policies and procedures and review them with all staff and custodians. Make sure you document that this has been done.
Review and update your privacy awareness training and ensure all staff, including custodians, have completed this recently. Make sure you have this documented, including certificates of attendance if available.
Oath of confidentiality documents should be signed by all of all clinic staff and custodians and maintained in a secure location.
Review your privacy impact assessment and ensure all of your current custodians have read this and understand it. Visit this post for more information to help you determine if you need a PIA amendment.
This incident occurred in 2016. The OIPC office did not recommend any additional sanctions against the clinic, physicians, or employees.

New Amendments To The HIA
This case might have turned out differently today.
New amendments, as of 2018, provide a provision for fines under the HIA ranging from $2,000 to $200,000.
The public — and our patients — expect and trust us to make sure that their personal health information is kept secure and confidential.
It’s our responsibility to make sure we have these administrative, technical, and physical safeguards in place and are maintained in a consistent fashion.
When you've done the hard work to implement your patient privacy policies and procedures and your privacy impact assessment, make sure you continue your journey and keep these documents up-to-date and current. To help you, sign up for the Practice Management Success Membership.
There are many patient privacy breaches in the news each day, and you never know when it could happen to you.

Privacy Principles Applies After Death
Posted on August 5, 2019 by Jean Eaton in Blog
Are your staff looking at medical records when they shouldn’t be?
Many people have the mistaken impression they can look at a patient's medical records as long as they don’t tell anyone else.
You can’t.
We see over and over again in ‘snooping’ cases where seasoned and new healthcare providers and support team members don’t realize that looking at patient’s health information without a need to know that information to provide a health service right away is wrong.
Kate Dewhirst summarized this as
Privacy = don’t look
Confidentiality = don’t tell
We still need privacy awareness training – even those experienced healthcare providers who push back and say that they have been in the business for years still often have more to learn.

In this post I am sharing an example of the Ontario’s Information Privacy Commissioner (IPC) complaint investigation from the family of a deceased individual. Whether you have a new practice, or an existing practice, we have a number of services and resources designed to help you manage your practice in a way that not only meets legal requirements, but is streamlined and efficient, and keep your information secure.
In 2014, a physician acting in his role as a coroner, accessed the deceased’s health record. Shortly thereafter, the family alleged that the physician, who was also a family member of the deceased, continued to access the deceased’s personal health information (PHI) contrary to Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA).
The family submitted a complaint to the hospital. Initially, the hospital's response did not satisfy the family. The family filed a complaint to the Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC) of Ontario.
The IPC started a complaint investigation.
Privacy Complaint Investigation
Under PHIPA, the hospital is a health information custodian and the physician is an agent of the hospital.
During the IPC investigation, the physician confirmed he “accessed the health information in response to his concern about the individual’s well-being.”
“I know now that proceeding in this way was misguided and wrong.” He would never disclose the information to anyone; that would be a violation of patient privacy and a breach of doctor – patient confidentiality.
The physician acknowledged he did not fully appreciate the related but distinct concepts of patient privacy, the circle of care, and the ‘need to know’ principle.
Confidentiality rights arise out the special relationship between the client and the health professional or provider.
In contrast, privacy rights are the general rights of all persons to limit the access to their PHI. Individuals have the right to privacy, even after death.
Individuals have the right to #privacy, even after death. Click to Tweet
The hospital received a complaint from the family, which triggers the first step to spot and stop the breach.
Secondly, the hospital did an initial investigation to evaluate the risks of the incident. Later, after the IPC initiated their complaint investigation, the hospital re-visited the internal investigation and completed a comprehensive review and used audit log reporting tools to assist them.
Eventually, the hospital took the third step and notified the individuals’ family of the privacy breach. However, the notification was not timely. A more comprehensive response to the families’ complaint, followed by a notice to the family may have provided a better response.
Preventing a similar breach is the fourth step.
Since this incident, the hospital has:
installed a new auditing program that considerably enhances its ability to detect unauthorized access.
updated its Privacy and Confidentiality Policy, which applies to all agents of the hospital.
developed a yearly electronic privacy training program for all staff, volunteers and learners and will require all credentialed physicians to complete this training as part of the annual reappointment process.
strengthened the privacy warning on its electronic system, which warns users that unauthorized use of personal health information may result in disciplinary action.
The hospital’s Medical Advisory Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the physician’s privileges be suspended for three months, that the hospital conduct enhanced monitoring of the physician’s access to the electronic medical record for three years, and that, on his return to practice, the physician be required to present at Grand Rounds on the topic of privacy.
The IPC concluded that the disciplinary consequences for the physician were sufficient in the circumstances.
Privacy awareness education is more than just having policies and procedures. Demonstrating good practices, regular discussion about examples, and even gamification helps to ensure that all members of your healthcare team understand their roles and responsibilities.

Fax Received in Error – Is this a Notifiable Privacy Breach?|
Posted on March 28, 2019 by Jean Eaton in Blog
You are a clinic manager in a healthcare practice. One day, you receive a phone from a healthcare provider in another clinic.
They have received a fax with patients’ health information from someone in your clinic. But the fax is not addressed to them – they received it in error.
Is this a mandatory notifiable privacy breach under Alberta’s new Health Information Act (HIA) regulations?
Part A: Circumstances Where Notification Is Required
There are 5 triggers under the Alberta Health Information Act (HIA) that require mandatory privacy breach notification to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) and the Alberta Minister of Health and the individual(s) affected in the breach.
In this scenario, the receiving custodian accessed health information for an individual who was not his patient. Clearly, there is a reasonable basis to believe that the information has been accessed (read) by a person (section 8.1(1)(a) of the Health Information Regulation.)
However, the sending custodian had no reason to believe that the information would be misused.
Part B: Circumstances Where Notification Is Not Required
The sending custodian assessed the circumstances of the breach and concluded (as per section 8.1(1)(i) of the Health Information Regulation) that the receiving custodian:
Accessed the health information in a manner consistent with his role as a health services provider and did not do it for an improper purpose.
Is subject to confidentiality policies and procedures that meet the requirements of section 60 of the Act.
Did not use or disclose the information beyond determining that he received it in error.
The sending custodian assessed that the risk is appropriately mitigated and this privacy breach incident did not trigger mandatory notification requirements.
The sending custodian must record the privacy breach in their business records. (I suggest that you use an internal privacy breach reporting form and spreadsheet. You can access these templates in the 4 Step Response Plan.) Remember to include your determination that you do not need to report this breach and the reasons that support your decision.
We know that faxes are a frequent source of privacy breach incidents. What can you do in your practice to reduce the risk of faxes in error?
This topic is included in our Practice Management Nuggets podcast! Be sure to tune in to the podcast episode Fax Received in Error – Is this a Notifiable Privacy Breach? | Episode #067 .
Understand the mandatory privacy breach notification triggers and the circumstances where notification is not required.

Curiosity Is NOT Need-To-Know
Posted on February 18, 2019 by Jean Eaton in Blog
I am often asked if it is ‘OK’ to look up patients information on Netcare when the patient hasn’t been seen for some time and the care provider wants to know how they are doing.
Let me be clear: If you are not currently providing a health service to the patient in a current episode of care, you must not look up that patient’s information on Netcare or any other EMR or paper system.
The patient has a right to privacy – which means don’t look unless you have a need to know.
Curiosity is not a legitimate need to know. That is snooping!
You Can Use This Privacy Breach Example to Review and Improve Your Practices
Pro-active Auditing Reveals Snooping in Sask eHealth
On April 6, 2018, a highway collision occurred involving the hockey team Humboldt Broncos which left 16 dead and 13 injured.
The trustee of the Saskatchewan Electronic Health Record Viewer, eHealth, pro-actively audited their electronic health record system to identify potential unauthorized use of the system by authorized users.
eHealth detected that two physicians and an administrator at the Humboldt Clinic Limited inappropriately accessed the personal health information of two individuals involved in a collision involving the Humboldt Broncos.
The auditing revealed that there were many instances where access was made between April 7 and April 10 to the records of two patients. The records belonged to two individuals who died in the crash on April 6.
The physicians had provided care to the individuals in January of 2018 but were not involved in providing care to them on or about April 6. The physicians’ access was prompted because of their ‘concern’ for the individuals.

Clearly, these users of the Viewer were not currently providing care and treatment to the patients.
The access of the Viewer in this example not a legitimate need-to-know under Saskatchewan’s The Health Information Protection Act (HIPA).
eHealth reported these privacy breaches to the Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC) of Saskatchewan.
The trustee, eHealth, undertook the first step to respond to a privacy breach by spotting and stopping the breach. The audit identified the breach. Then eHealth contained the breach by suspending or terminating access to the Viewer.
Secondly, eHealth appropriately notified the individuals’ next of kin of the privacy breach.
The third step is to investigate the breach. eHealth notified the IPC of the breach. The clinic, however, did not investigate the cause of the privacy beach.
Preventing a similar breach is the fourth step. The clinic has privacy policies and a privacy training strategy. The eHealth Viewer also has online training for its users.
IPC Recommendations
Subsequent to its investigation, the Saskatchewan IPC observed that the training had not prevented this breach.
The IPA recommended that the clinic provide further training to its employees and contractors on the need-to-know principle. Additionally, the clinic is recommended to document the privacy breaches and the lessons learned to prevent a similar privacy breach.

There are many privacy breaches in the news each day. The more you know about the breaches and how they can affect you allows you to be more proactive to prevent privacy breach pain.
Privacy education is more than just having policies and procedures. Demonstrating good practices, regular discussion about examples, and even gamification helps to ensure that all members of your healthcare team understand their roles and responsibilities.
If you need to start or update your privacy breach management program, check out the 4 Step Response Plan; Prevent Privacy Breach Pain.
I’ve helped hundreds of healthcare practices prevent privacy breach pain like this. If you would like to discuss how I can help your practice, just send me an email. I am here to help you.

Pakistan asks Security Council to strengthen UN Kashmir observer group
by Kashmir Despatch
WhatsAppShare on FacebookShare on Twitter
United Nations, Sep 10 : Departing from the Security Council debate topic of peacekeeping operations, Pakistan has raised the Kashmir issue asking the Security Council to look at strengthening the UN observer operation there.
Pakistan’s Permanent Representative Maleeha Lodhi said on Monday that it was important for the Council to start “exploring options to strengthen” UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) because of the developments there since India rescinded its special constitutional status last month.
UNMOGIP is not a peace-keeping operation and of its 116 personnel, the majority are civilians with only 44 drawn from militaries and designated as experts.
India considers the UMOGIP created in 1949 to monitor the ceasefire between the neighbours redundant because of the 1972 Simla Agreement by which the two countries declared that their disputes are bilateral matters and also defined the Line of Control, superseding the ceasefire line that the observers were mandated to monitor.
But the UNMOGIP continues to operate in Kashmir because the Council has not rescinded the mandate given to it. It was originally known as the UN Commission for India and Pakistan.
Toughening its stance against it, India asked the UNMOGIP in 2014 to leave the building on Purana Qila Road that it had given it rent-free and it moved its Delhi office to a private premise in Vasant Vihar.

Police public interaction meetings held at Awantipora, Anantnag
Lodhi told the Council that “UNMOGIP’s role and importance has increased dramatically” since August 5 when India ended Kashmir’s constitutional special status, which she asserted was “illegal de facto annexation.”
UNMOGIP’s “efficacy has also become consequential due to mounting ceasefire violations by Indian forces, which necessitates regular and formal reporting to the Council,” she added.
However, in keeping with its policy that the UNMOGIP is irrelevant, India stopped reporting Pakistani ceasefire violations in 1972, treating them as bilateral matters.
Lodhi also said that the Council should “ensure that India also allows it the requisite freedom of access and movement, in order for it to fulfil its mandate”.
Apart from the signature deviation about Kashmir in the debate on peacekeeping operations, Lodhi spoke about the problems common to countries contributing troops to UN peacekeeping operations.
As they are among the biggest troop contributors, India and Pakistan share views on some of the issues facing peace-keeping and she made some points similar to those that India’s Permanent Representative Syed Akbaruddin had made earlier in the debate.
Lodhi criticised the use of caveats by some countries that restrict how and where personnel or equipment can be used.
She also questioned the lack of clear policies that sometimes expected peacekeepers negotiate political solutions or “enforce peace”.
She said that the UN Secretariat should provide a “pragmatic and realistic analysis of the situation”, which should be “reflected by the Council in mandates”.
Akbaruddin had criticised the “culture of caveats that bedevils peacekeeping” and also said that troop-contributing should be associated in a “predictable manner in the decision-making”.
“Peacekeeping is in a ‘no-man’s land’, between trying to keep the peace in fragile environments and trying to enforce the maintenance of peace, where there is none to keep,” he said.

Denver Bishop upset over growing homeless camp outside church
Posted 9:39 pm, December 29, 2019, by Ashley Michels, Updated at 09:42PM, December 29, 2019
DENVER – A Denver church leader says he is fed up with the number of homeless people camped out in front of his church.
Bishop Jerry Demmer has been leading Absolute Word Church at the corner of 24th and California for the past six years. He says there have always been homeless campers in the park across the street.
“I’ve been involved with feeding the homeless and clothing the homeless,” he said. “That’s been one of our ministries, so I have an appreciation for the homeless. What I don’t have an appreciation for is when you take over public property.”
Demmer says a group recently set up an encampment on the grass outside the church between the sidewalk and the street.
“When I came up this morning they were all the way down the street and sidewalk was taken over with bikes and everything on it,” he said. “I could not park here this morning.”
He says the number of campers has increased since Friday, when a Denver judge struck down the city’s urban camping ban. Police can no longer harass or arrest a person for living on the street in a public outdoor space.
Now the Bishop says he worries what will happen next.
“People from all over are going to say it’s okay to come to Colorado because if you’re homeless you can take over public property,” he said.
According to Demmer, the encampment is already negatively affecting his congregation.
“I have a great church. But a lot of people would never come to my church if they rode by and seen the situation on the side and sometimes in the front. They would never come to the church because it’s like, well I can’t even get into your church,” he said.
He says needles used for heroin are often found on the sidewalk where churchgoers, including children, need to walk.
“One of the hardest things in this homeless epidemic is that people decide I can urinate wherever and I can defecate wherever,” he said. “A man on the front of the church just dropped his pants and defecated.”
Demmer says he has talked to the campers but they have been unable to come to a resolution.
“They’re very, it wasn’t me. It’s very much, I clean up after myself. I get a lot of those conversations. And then I get a lot of conversations basically eff off,” he said.
FOX31 asked the campers about the issues the Bishop brought up.
“There’s construction sites all over the place but they lock up the bathrooms,” James Todd, who has been living on the streets for the past year, told FOX31. “So if you had to go to the bathroom…what are you going to do in that moment?”
In regards to the issue of the campers taking over parts of the street outside the church designated for parking, Todd suggested the congregation and the Bishop simply park elsewhere.
“Is it because he’s inconvenienced of how much farther he has to walk to get to his front door because he enjoyed parking right here?” Todd said.

What Twitch's New Raiding System Means For Streamers
The 49ers' Katie Sowers Will Be the First Woman and Openly Gay Coach to Head to the Super Bowl
Ethan Gach
Filed to:Twitch
Twitch’s latest update introduces a tool that lets a streamer instantly transport their viewers to somebody else’s channel. Known as “raiding,” this has been used in the past to harass people. Now that Twitch is making raids an official part of the platform, however, some streamers think the new feature will make it easier to participate in the positive aspects of raiding.
The “/raid” feature was introduced a few weeks ago at this year’s TwitchCon during the Keynote. It was announced that raids would go from being a loosely-defined community activity to an actual command that could be typed into a Twitch chat to initiate a move from one streamer’s channel to another. The feature finally went live this week for select Twitch partners, with the company rolling out full access to all users across web, iOS, Android, and PC starting next week.
In the past, streamers who wanted to move their followers to another channel in a show of support had to dump the url into the Twitch chat several times and hope their viewers followed through. As a built-in-feature, streamers who want to raid one another’s channels can simply type “/raid” into the chat followed by the other streamer’s name. Viewers will be presented with a prompt to “join.” If they click to do so, a countdown begins. At the end, they’re transported over to the other channel.
The streamer who initiates the raid will also immediately began hosting the other person’s channel. Hosting, in which streamers who aren’t currently live rebroadcast the channels of others, is already a common practice on Twitch. Raids can boost the hosted person’s audience numbers and allow all the viewers to interact via a single chat.
Raiding didn’t start out as a way for streamers to exchange thumbs ups and good vibes. It originated on 4chan, where internet users would conspire to bombard the same Twitch channel with negative or trolling comments. A thread about the planned attack would emerge followed by blast of sustained harassment on the unsuspecting streamer, like a flash mob for a comments section. That’s why many people greeted Twitch’s original announcement of the new tool with skepticism.
All sorts of people have been the victims of raids in the past, but as with most types of abuse on the internet, the coordinated campaigns often targeted women. Outstarwalker, a Polish game developer who also works with GOG on Twitch coordination, has been raided more than a few times.
“I was raided by 4chan a few times [in 2014], as they were usually aiming at non-popular female streamers,” she told Kotaku in an email. “Back when I started streaming few years ago, raids had a horrible reputation. They meant almost exclusively 4chan raids or similar events, in which a huge group of people suddenly stormed a tiny channel to post malicious messages.”
But Outstarwalker says this situation has been changing. She now frequently raids other channels she’d like to boost and gets raided by others in the community in exchange. “Once my channel grew and raiding culture started to shift to positive raids, malicious raids stopped,” she said.
She’s only been hit by a couple negative raids in the past two years, these times organized on Discord rather than 4chan. As streamers learned how to cope, Outstarwalker feels negative raiders lost interest and Discord channels have been too diffuse to mount many large scale attacks. At the height of their prevalence, she might have been hit with 400 users spamming her chat. These days it’s less, while on the flipside a positive raid can provide a big boost. “In comparison, a positive raid from TotalBiscuit sent 3000 people my way,” she said.
“It’s about time Twitch offers actual tools to do [raids], as they’ve turned out to be a vital part of streaming culture,” she said. And she’s not alone. Other streamers, including speedrunners, have admitted to being excited about being able to raid more easily. The Game Directory, Twitch’s main page for looking up video game streams, is organized by current viewer account. As a result, people who focus on old or obscure games struggle to build their audiences making any additional tools a boon.
“It looks great,” said Cheese, a prominent Mario 64 speedrunner, in an email. “It will finally make [Twitch raiding] more interactive and easier.”
But just because there’s a positive impetus behind the new feature doesn’t mean it can’t, or won’t, also be leveraged by people interested in trolling, harassment, or abuse. Two years ago, the streamer Scudpunk recounted an experience in which 60 strangers popped into his stream all at once and started doxxing him. In addition to posting his address and phone number, he claimed they also sent pizza orders and escort requests to his apartment, all of which eventually led him to contact the police.
More recently, full-blown swatting has become another major concern. Twitcher viewers “pranking” streamers by calling in fake reports that lead police to arrive at the streamer’s location have in some cases even led to violence. Other targeted attacks have come in the form of sexual harassment. In August, streamer Charleyy Hodson saw her Twitch chat flooded with remarks about her appearance and worse when another streamer sicced his audience on her. It was just one example in a growing trend of live-streamed harassment. What basically amounts to a button that makes it easy to unleash followers on other people (rather than needing them to manually go to the streamer’s web page as in the past) could end up exacerbating this trend.
Part of Twitch’s argument in favor of expanding raids is to bring the activity into the platform’s infrastructure where it can be better controlled. With /raid, streamers will be able to leave themselves open to raiding by anyone, limit it to followers, or restrict it altogether.
“While the vast majority of raids are positive, we have provided streamers with the following tools to manage unwelcome raids,” Peter Yang, Twitch’s Product Manager, said in an email. “During a raid, streamers and moderators can turn on Follower-Only chat from chat settings to prevent non followers from chatting.” In addition, streamers will have a record of everyone who’s raided them, in part so that it’s easier to report instances of malicious raiding and targeted harassment.
In theory, since the name of the game on Twitch is growing your audience, smaller streamers have an incentive to leave themselves open to raids. Who knows when someone higher up the food-chain will decide to grace you with a fraction of their viewership? While there are safeguards in place to try to protect streamers from negative raids, it’s unclear this early in the feature’s life whether those most vulnerable will want to take full advantage of them.
“It is important to remember that raids are a great way to help you grow your community,” reads the how-to page for Twitch raids. “So we encourage you to give it a try.”

Effects of maternal subclinical mammary inflammation on infant growth
Richmond N. O Aryeetey, Iowa State University
Theses & dissertations (Interdisciplinary)
Grace S. Marquis
Breastfeeding is unquestionably the best nourishment for infants. Current epidemiological as well as experimental evidence has repeatedly demonstrated the nutritional, immunological, and psychosocial benefits attributable to breastfeeding. However, suboptimal breast health may compromise maternal ability to breastfeed and the well-being of breastfeeding infants. Subclinical mastitis (SCM) is an asymptomatic inflammatory condition of the lactating breast that is associated with a number of adverse outcomes including lactation failure, infant growth faltering during the early postpartum period, and increased risk of mother-to-child transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).;Three studies were carried out in Ghana with the overall aim of describing the mechanistic pathway(s) linking SCM and infant growth faltering. The specific objectives of the studies were to determine: (1) the prevalence of SCM among lactating women in Ghana, (2) whether SCM is associated with reduced breast milk intake by the infant, and (3) whether SCM occurring beyond the third month postpartum had an adverse effect on infant growth between the third and sixth month postpartum. Two cross-sectional studies were designed with respect to the first two objectives. Data were collected in a longitudinal study to examine the third objective.;All data from the three studies were collected from infant-mother pairs residing in the Eastern region of Ghana. Maternal data included demographic, health, and anthropometric data as well as breast milk samples that were analyzed to determine maternal SCM status. Maternal SCM was primarily diagnosed as elevated breast milk sodium:potassium ratio (Na/K) above 1.0. California mastitis test (CMT) was also used in the cross-sectional studies to diagnose SCM. Infant breast milk intake was estimated using the test weighing procedure. Infant data included feeding, health, and growth measured as weight, length, head circumference, and mid-upper arm circumference.;In the first cross-sectional study, SCM (Na/K > 1.0) was observed among 45.3% of women at three or four months postpartum. About 30% of the observed SCM occurred in only one breast. In the second cross-sectional study, infants whose mothers had Na/K > 1.0 as well as CMT score ≥ 1 had significantly lower breast milk intake (-88.9 g; 95% CI: -171.1 g, -6.9 g). However, the observed milk intake difference across SCM groups disappeared when infant weight and feeding frequency were controlled in multivariate analyses. The longitudinal study did not find an association between maternal episodes of SCM (Na/K) occurring between the 3rd and 6th month postpartum and infant growth occurring during the same period.;In conclusion, our results indicate that SCM is a common condition among women in the Eastern region of Ghana. However, we did not find a reduction in breast milk intake of infants whose mothers had SCM. There was, also, no association between maternal SCM occurring between the 3rd and 6th postpartum and infant growth during the same period.

A terrorist attack on the UN Headquarters in Baghdad left 22 dead on August 19, 2003. Five years later, the UN General Assembly officially established the date as World Humanitarian Day which according to UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, “is an annual reminder of the need to act to alleviate the suffering. It is also an occasion to honor the humanitarian workers and volunteers toiling on the front-lines of crises. I pay tribute to these dedicated women and men who brave danger to help others at far greater risk.”
There are approximately 130 million people around the world that need humanitarian assistance to survive right now. This is just to survive, not to be comfortable and is happening through no fault of their own. Millions in Ethiopia are struggling to survive in the worst drought and subsequent famine in 50 years. Millions in Syria flea or are trapped in the crossfire of a brutal civil war dropping bombs in their living rooms. Violence and food insecurity are not only claiming lives, but they are destroying entire cultures all around the world.
These are people, just like you and I, who only want to have a safe and peaceful life. They want their children to grow up in a place where they don’t have to fear airstrikes on their walk to school or if food will ever materialize to save them from starvation. Everyday this increasingly vulnerable and marginalized population are forced to make impossible decisions.
A heavy dose of reality helps adapt a popular game to a perspective many people face daily across the world. [view the whole program on the World Humanitarian Day website]
The UN’s website for World Humanitarian Day has a number of resources that help provide perspective for problems that certainly transcend those I face. My biggest dilemmas in the last year have ranged from the trivial “Should I respond back to that abrasive email from my boss?” to the trite “Can I afford to take that next vacation?” Following the lines of a popular leisure game I often play while laughing with friends, this version of Would You Rather offers a small glimpse into the impossible choices people around the world face daily.
If you can handle the weight of what that link represents, I urge you to Walk in the Shoes of a Refugee. After volunteering in Kara Tepe Refugee Camp for almost two months and hearing people’s personal stories in the many layers of pain they are built upon, I couldn’t get through this one without crying. With every click of the mouse, I was able to picture a face next to each option, people who had told me while they themselves were in tears of that exact decision they were forced to make.
The United Nations is using this day to promote their Agenda for Humanity to provide hope for a better world.
As noted in a previous article, How to Save the World, all it takes to be a hero and put a stop to the evil we are currently seeing around the globe is action. World Humanitarian Day celebrates those who commits to any of the five steps shown above.
Today I celebrate the dozens of volunteers I have sweat beside in the summer heat trying to pitch in however possible to serve families with dignity and respect who have fled the unimaginable. These volunteers compelled to action have paid for their own airfare, accommodations and food to get to a little island in Greece. They remain dedicated despite medical issues, illness, relationship strains and breakups, financial hardships, and fatigue. Some days rocks have been thrown at them or they’ve cut their leg completing a thankless task no one will ever know about like moving a pile of moldy canvas tents to increase storage space. Still with each new morning, they rise to the call of service.
“Humanitarian” is not a title exclusively reserved for those who interact with human suffering directly. Anyone that seeks to promote the general welfare of others is a humanitarian worthy of celebration. It could mean financial contributions like those from my best friend, Ryan Pierson who has biceps the size of Texas and donated money to fund the purchase of 70 tank tops for men saying, “Because every day is arm day, even in Kara Tepe.”
“Humanitarian” is a term that also applies to people who spread awareness instead of turning a blind eye. I think of my friends Susan and Sal Lepore who continue to share articles and dialogue with me about issues that matter, even though we only met randomly on a boat ride in Peru two years ago. I celebrate people like my girlfriend, Brittany Dunn of The Mind Body Project who helps me stay centered and who shares every article I write with her audience to ensure people’s stories don’t slip through the cracks.
Telling people’s stories is a vital component to spreading awareness and providing hope for a better world, according to the UN. I think to Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax and the line that says “I speak for the trees.” Those who provide a voice for the voiceless and amplify their plight despite risk, repercussions, or condemnation deserve hearty applause. I cheer for the people who intervene in a coffee shop as two baristas exchange a look when I say I’m working at a refugee camp and they tell me “They are all terrorists!” Fighting the evil of ignorance at this level is just as worthy of a humanitarian effort as actually working in a refugee camp.
I personally revere those who go into the most difficult situations so the harsh realities of human suffering aren’t silently lost behind a blinding wall of ignorance. Like the firefighters who ran toward the burning and collapsing twin towers on September 11, there are many who exemplify that same courage to bring us pictures and stories that galvanize the pain and suffering in an urgent call to action from the places of most danger.
A widely circulated photo and video of this boy from Aleppo has come to be called “The Face of War” [The Guardian]
In Syria, Assad’s regime along with the help of Russia, continuously commit crimes against humanity by specifically targeting hospitals and civilians. Despite this known danger, many medical professionals working with Doctors Without Borders continue to station themselves where they are needed most: in the center of where bombs are exploding. The few doctors who remain have seen children and patients they stabilized killed by explosions that also claim the lives of their colleagues. Yet, there they remain, knowing they serve a vital need. A popular story swept across the internet at the end of April about The Last Pediatrician in Aleppo.
Things like this should be hard to read about and see, but that shouldn’t stop you from noting the reality of the situation. While I fear for the world so satiated by violence that teenagers can show me videos of beheadings that commonly appear in their newsfeed without flinching, I fear even more for those who pretend these things don’t exist. This is the pivotal place where we as a society of consumers have a choice to make. Will you quickly scroll through the articles and pictures on your Facebook feed that make you feel sad and uncomfortable, or will you take further steps?
In July, 44 attacks on hospitals were reported in Syria. Just last week a hospital specializing in pediatrics in the north was attacked by two airstrikes in broad daylight which left 13 dead, including 5 children. The ICU was destroyed, along with the operating theater, pediatric department, ambulances and generator. There is no safe haven or place of refuge inside the borders of this country-wide warzone. Still, doctors devoted to their mission remain.
All around the world, humanitarian aid workers face risks to deliver lifesaving services and care. They fall victim to violence, kidnapping, and murder along with the people they have devoted their existence to helping.
The risks are often high for those who go to areas in need of the most help [Full graphic at reliefweb.int]
If you are appalled by the atrocities happening across this pale blue dot we call home, don’t stew in silence, do something about it. It may sound like a Kennedy pitch, but ask what you can do to make a difference in the world. Research some of the most vulnerable people who need immediate help, encourage your political representatives to take some form of action, volunteer with a charitable organization at home or abroad, make a small donation that can fund something essential for another, recognize those in your immediate community who also need help. Be creative with your kindness or as the UN advocates, “work differently to end need.” All it takes to be a humanitarian and hero is action.
The faces of human suffering may seem so far away, but they are real and they are all around you. Wherever you are, use whatever you have to do whatever you can. Don’t ignore the comments that seek to stereotype, degrade or demoralize others. Make it your job to care for your fellow man. Do it now and do it always, do not wait until a problem escalates to 450 volts, as explained in a previous post, to try to stop it.
Martin Niemöller who spent more than seven years in concentration camps under Nazi power, including Dachau, immortalized his guilt and responsibility in the well known provocative poem:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
and there was no one left to speak for me.

This piece follows an earlier post about the struggle of getting proper clothing in Kara Tepe refugee camp.
After an alleged coup d’etat that failed to overthrow the government on July 15, a three month state of emergency was declared in Turkey, giving President Recep Tayyip Erdogan significantly more power in every day affairs. Several measures were enacted including closing the border to academics trying to leave and detaining people at will; over 13,000 have already been arrested and many more dismissed from their jobs. I use the term “alleged coup” because many think the coup was staged specifically so Erdogan could seize more power.
That night, as my mother and sister texted me telling me to cancel my plans for Turkey, President Erdogan sent a text message out to all citizens which Aysegul, a volunteer from the long-time Greek rival nation showed me and offered a rough translation of:
All Turkish people, in Istanbul and Ankara, the government is fighting against military vehicles. A few people tried to behave like in the 70’s and they have taken our soldier’s vehicles and guns and they tried to kill you, the Turkish people. This is not an attack on me, this is an attack on you. Now you have to go out and defend yourselves. If you don’t do this, they will think you are scared now. So I am calling on you now to go out to the streets to defend yourselves and your country.
Imagine if everyone in the United States got a text message like that from Obama, requesting us to mobilize, insinuating we use violence to “defend” ourselves against an alleged threat that had already been quelled at that point. Again, many believe this was a thinly veiled attempt to incite fear and panic to justify declaring a state of emergency. The government officially vows this “will not affect civilians,” but media can now be censored and banned, curfews enforced, protests prohibited. People can be searched on a whim and while the world watches in anticipation of human rights abuses and the stripping of basic liberties as the leader tries to reinstate the death penalty, I decided it would be a good idea to go to Turkey to get inexpensive clothes for Kara Tepe residents.
No one I know who has spent any time in Turkey trusts their official leader whose crazed tactics conjure up images of Soviet era propaganda, but as the coup made Turkey’s currency devalue ever so slightly, my purchasing power had increased. Inspired by the example of Eddie Mulholland who had made a supply run the night before the coup and joked about how he caused it, I set forth with two others to help stimulate the Turkish economy. Janos from Switzerland handled the logistics of acquiring ferry tickets, researching departure times and location, bringing enough bags to carry our end of the day haul, and inventorying our purchasing needs. Aurelie from France was our hired muscle, who in addition to carrying heavy bags, made sure we were safe and took amazing pictures along the way as she hunted down needed clothing with the skill of a bloodhound.
I said ‘Listen, 15 lira for each pair of shorts, but only if you get rid of Erdogan tomorrow.’ They said yes. We shook hands and I left. -Eddie
On July 28, when our team got off the ferry at Ayvalik and passed through customs, the first sight we saw was a giant teleprompter with Erdogan giving a speech on repeat telling the citizens to restore order. Next to the screen was a Turkish flag flapping in the wind. The white crescent moon and star with a red backdrop could be seen in multiplicity on every government building and piece of public property throughout the city. We were told this was a new drastic and noticeable change which even to an American seemed like an excessive display of flags.

Aysegul who had traveled a few hours north from her home in Izmir to help translate and negotiate the best price on clothing met us at the port. Her ability to gleefully connect with everyone in the bazaar including the restaurant where we kept our bags was the keystone to a successful day of shopping. She explained that everything we were seeing was post-coup patriotic facade and the once cheery and palpable energy felt across the city had been flattened.
After shaking off the eerie feeling of Jumbo-tron fascism, we followed the flow of Greek tourists from the ferry to the Turkish bazaar that apparently only runs on Thursdays. People flock here from across the border to save mountains of money on their purchases of clothing, spices, electronics, and a whole host of other random items. It was immediately clear, however that clothes are the main fixture of the market.
The first steps into the bazaar were full-on. The narrow walkway with shouting vendors, pushy deal seekers, and manmade bird noises from colorful toys signaled my internal shock alarms. We took two steps in, and then stepped right back out, deciding that if we were going to roll up our sleeves and own the marketplace, we had better get some food in our bellies first. After a quick lunch of famous Ayvalik toast (thick bread grilled cheese), we slammed our bodies through the clusters of people all crashing into each other like molecules trying to bond.
It wasn’t five minutes before we were grasping handfuls of socks and then fist deep in men’s underwear. Bags filled with cheap, yet quality materials quickly piled up as we shuttled back and forth to drop them off at our base restaurant that clearly didn’t want us occupying their small space once they realized we came to buy in bulk. Aysegul made friends with a family selling us underwear whose cotton-peddling daughter had the same name and struck a fair deal when we told them we were buying for a charitable cause. They asked if we needed men’s tank top undershirts, which we certainly did so we once again bought them out of all the sizes they had that would suit our needs.
They asked to take a picture with us and be friends on Facebook, marveling at the faraway places we had come from. It’s a common response and one that was duplicated with an Iranian family we chatted with in the street just minutes later. “Oh, I love America, very beautiful country” the father enthusiastically told me as he wished us well in our endeavor.

As time was running short and our shopping list still long, we split up and divided the Turkish lira we had left, knowing it would be impossible to spend it all on this trip. I had set a budget of $2,000 to spend, which was difficult as we went to many stands and wiped out their entire inventory of things we needed. There’s something magical about asking how much a pair of leggings is and then pulling out a bag to say you want them all.
When I approached a huge table of shorts and asked for Yunus, a man Eddie told me had given him a good deal on his trip there, I said I wanted to buy all of his jean shorts. Yunus was a 27 year old with a lightly colored, extended chin strap beard who relaxed in a cafe chair wearing a sleeveless shirt. If there’s ever been a man I’m sure was in the mafia, it was Yunus. I told him I was friends with Eddie to which he responded with “EDDEE!” as he motioned me over to his table. The man he was sitting with at one of three tables outside a derelict cafe behind the massive clothing displays got up and ran away the second I was waved over. Another man instantly passed through the doorway ready to take Yunus’s order. Al Capone asked me what I wanted, to which I said I wanted to buy all his shorts before my ferry left in an hour. He said “No, you must drink” which didn’t sound like a bad idea on this scorching hot day, but I was now in a time crunch. “Chai?” he asked. “Ok,” I said.
We exchanged the basics of where I was from and how beautiful his home in Istanbul is in the one minute before tiny hourglass shaped sipping vessels of piping hot red chai came out on a string dangled tray with two sugar cubes in the mini saucer and dainty little spoon. I pinched the play-sized glass between my thumb and index finger as I nervously checked my watch. Yunus and I talked about sports and Kara Tepe while he slyly motioned one of his employees to take down the sign above the shorts that listed the price as 10L. The whole time this was happening, men from several tables kept coming up to him and handing him cash that he banked in a large wad in his pocket.
Finally, when he was ready, he got up, called out to men from four different tables who converged to the table with jean shorts. We worked together to pull out sizes 29-34 with a few occasional 36’s while leaving the already stocked larger sizes behind. As mountains of denim piled up, glasses of lemonade arrived for us. Yunus chugged his and pitched the plastic cup under the table in a single fluid motion that didn’t detract from his flow of counting and sorting. I clumsily followed suit. He called to the table next to him, and a man brought over a blue polo shirt for me. “You,” Yunus said as he held it up to my body. The same happened with a high quality pair of denim capris five minutes later. I guess big purchasers get big perks, but I just wanted to load a big bag full of jean shorts. I politely packed both away in my bag and donated them along with the rest of the clothing we got.
Yunus and I spent some time arguing over price, with me noting that I saw the advertised price, him noting that Eddie paid more last time. I told him if I was paying more, he needed to include belts. He said he didn’t have any. I repeated myself. He repeated himself. I stood there and waited silently. He said two words and snapped his fingers in the air and a bag of belts appeared. He wanted me to buy more shorts from him even though I had no more bag space to transport them in. I told him I would be back soon and although upset, we exchanged contact information on WhatsApp and he had two of his young male workers carry the heavy bags out of the bazaar for me and close to the taxi stand. I now have a denim dealer.
I also have a shoe dealer as Janos and I had bought one shop out of all of their knockoff TOMS and other similar shoes. I went to the only other shoe store I could find that had sturdy canvas construction that was light and durable enough for walking on rocks in the summer as well as playing football. I bought all of their shoes in the size range needed as I sat on a stool outside, being handed waters and carbonated lemonade while father, son, and mother shuttled back and forth to a storehouse looking repeatedly for more. Mustafa added me on Facebook and I told him I’d be back for more.

At the end of the day, our haul was big enough where two taxi drivers in a row refused to drive us to the ferry port. Aysegul was furious and as she was complaining to officers in a passing police car, the first abrasive cab driver begrudgingly agreed to load our booty in his trunk.

On the ferry passage back, the cruel irony of the journey did not escape us. The ninety minute ferry ride to Lesvos cost us 4 Euros, the same price it costs to take a ten minute taxi ride from the center of Mytilene, the capital of Lesvos where we live, to Kara Tepe. This same aquatic joyride that we pooled together loose change for and took the time frame of a Pixar movie, was a long expensive journey of life or death for the people we were bringing clothes to.
Everyone I speak with has paid between $500-$5,000 just for the boat crossing with the price depending on the smuggler and the situation. While the most common range is $1,000-$2,000, many have been charged multiple times for each crossing they attempt to make after police or intense waves force their turn around. Some are robbed of all extra money, cell phones, and clothes before they attempt to cross these waters that close to 4,000 died in last year. In a 3 ½ hour dinghy ride piercing through the choppy, violent waves off the Turkish coast, many prayed for lives in the same place we rolled up our sleeves on the top deck of a sturdy ship and soaked in the sun.
We looked at the white cap rip swelling in the sea, knowing it was rough enough that day to toss even a seasoned sailor from the bow. I still struggle to wrap my mind around how anyone has the fortitude or desperation to make such a harrowing journey. Even if they are dry and have new clothes by the time they get to Kara Tepe, the hell they’ve conquered is surely worthy of at least decent clothing as a symbol that they matter and are not just a stain like that which might appear on the clothes that we give them or that parts of society might consider them.
I felt bad popping bottles and toasting to a successful day as the ferry was ready to disembark on a journey that was so smooth for us because we were born in countries that provided us with “proper” paperwork. But as our drinks clanked together, I tried to reframe what we were really celebrating. We toast to celebrate that we have a lot of brand new quality clothing that people will actually be happy to receive. We toast to all of the donors who believe in humanity and basic human needs who selflessly offered up their hard earned cash so that another might have clean underwear. We toast to one less person we have to say “mafi shoes” to who is crying because their feet can’t bear the pain of rocks prodding their soles anymore. We toast to the small glimmer of hope that is symbolically woven into the threads of the clothing we are bringing back; that this might be the catalyst for positive thoughts that compound and inertia mentally carries forward.
Our stream of positivity was abruptly ended at the portside Greek customs house. An official asked where I am from, and after I said “United States” he signaled us to grab all of our bags, walk around the x-ray scanner and back out the side we entered, filing into a waiting room. Another man came in shortly after, closed all of the doors, told us to set our bags in a straight line on the ground and then have a seat. He returned a minute later with a large pawed German Shepard, who while no doubt did his job effectively, lacked the discipline one expects to see in a professional canine as he stepped all over our bags, and got distracted by us, tugging at his leash to get closer. As I was running through in my head if we had done anything illegal, Janos started talking to which the handler quickly and firmly said “Do not talk!” The duo left and a moment later we were allowed to do the same. I asked the officer who had brought us in the room in the first place what that was all about. Was the dog looking for drugs? Explosives?
With a heavy Greek accent, he said “Drugs.” I asked, “Why was I targeted as an American? Once I told you where I was from, that was the second you told us to go to that room.” In a confusing response, he muttered “Your country…Guatemala, Venezuela, […unintelligible Greek…]” He then listed a few more countries followed by more unintelligible Greek and ending with, “I think USA.” My best guess is that he was personally not a fan of the US based on a long history of drug trafficking and destroying other countries’ governments and economies in sometimes covert actions that often include the transport of illicit substances. Normally that kind of thing would get me down, but I was happy to not have been detained on the Greek side which proved to be more fear inducing than Turkey. No customs duties had to be paid since we were bringing hundreds of pounds of clothing to Kara Tepe, a situation to which all of the coast guard officers seemed sympathetic. A cab brought us straight to the camp where we stocked the clothes and got ready for the next day.

Since I saw just how far money could go in Turkey and because I didn’t have enough time to spend all the money I went with, I am going to make one final push in soliciting donations and return on August 11. I have already requested Thursday as my Turkish Bazaar Day-off and will contact my dealers this week to let them know what I need. Below is the amazing list your donations were able to fund this time around which is about 4-5 times further than this money would go if I was spending it in Greece. If you know anyone who would be interested in throwing down a few dollars to contribute to the next round, please direct them to the fundraising page.
Even just $5 was able to purchase multiple articles of clothing. $7 got a pair of TOMS. $15 totally clothed a single person, head to toe.
That my friends is the power of people coming together to do good things. If you have ever had doubt in your life that you could make a difference, look at what can you happen when compassion pools together.
