"I wouldn't want my children going through this"
Napoleon Perdis, whose beauty brand entered voluntary administration last week, has opened up about the emotional toll the process has taken on him.
While he remains positive about the future of the business which bears his name, he told Your Money Live that it has been tough.
"I feel a bit lonely because my family are not with me [but] I actually think that's a good thing. I wouldn't want my children going through this," Perdis said.
"When it's time for me to discuss it with my children I will tell them my lessons. No one is without mistake, no one is perfect, we are all mortals. I will tell them what their father had to go through and actually so publicly. There's a lot of CEOs that just hide but I haven't done that," he added.
Comparing it to watching his own nineteen-year-old daughter grow up, Perdis thought that administration was about learning to relinquish some control.
"Maybe my baby has got to 24 or 25 and I've been treating it a bit like a teenager," he laughed.
He said that he'd been blown away by the support he has received, with the administrator announcing it would honour gift cards bought before the administration phase.
Perdis also said that sales had been strong enough to encourage the administrator to continue buying additional stock.
"I've had an enormous amount of love. People have come out from woodworks [sic] to tell me how they're supportive," he said.
Meanwhile, the company's options remain open.
If it were to sell and the buyer was open to it, Perdis suggests he would be happy to continue having some input into the business.


When I put pen to paper I do so in the hope that someone out there reads those pearls of wisdom. I hope they are interesting , informative and sometimes controversial enough to stimulate discussion. My last post certainly was that albeit not intentional. A big thank you to those of you that have taken the time to speak to me about it. What did surprise me was the number of people that felt that it wasn't really a coaching issue. My view is that swearing comes under the etiquette , dress code and expected standards of behaviour umbrella that we as coaches are remitted to cover.
One thing leads to another and very soon the conversation turns to the number of instances of players milling around the head and offering opinions on matters that are not theirs to comment on ( during play that is ). Anyone who plays knows that niggles on the rink are irritating and often, though not always, brought about through ignorance.
I will not pick out any particular individual or group that are guilty of transgression, but instead would suggest that we could all do with checking our own actions. I include myself in this .
Can I please start with rink housekeeping and ask that the rinks be left in a tidy manner when you have finished. Please return spare jacks and make sure that mats are placed on the bank with the long side along the front edge, ( during play as well ! ) and the jack in the dich. Another option is mat on the T and jack on it. This is by request from those charged with cleaning the place.
When changing ends please do not spread out , thus holding up play on adjoining rinks. Two abreast is ideal . Stopping and discussing the previous nights football is not going to endear you to the skip next door who is possibly on a short fuse anyway.
Please try and keep movement on the walkways to a minimum when players on those rinks are about to bowl. It doesn't worry me at all, anymore than movement in the head does, but it does put many players off, so a little bit of care and thought please.
The head is a congested area so please take care. Players have certain duties and it is expected of them to discharge those duties and not to involve themselves in matters that are not in their job description.
Lead players play their woods and should then move back well away from the mat to allow the number 2 players room . The same for 2s and 3s. Be ready to play as soon as it is your turn. Nothing winds a skip up more than you having a chat when you should be on the mat. Or maybe there is, and that is getting to the mat after your chat and then asking whose bowls are where. Each player should have a good idea of whose woods are where.
It is natural to look at the head when you change over but please don't stand there and decide what's what. Numbers 1 and 2 should move back well away from the head and number 3 should take up their position at least 2 metres back from the jack.
The only 2 players at the head should be No. 3s and it is their duty to decide the score and measure if need be. IT IS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY ONE ELSE AND THE NO.3s MUST BE LEFT TO IT. If you are one of those players who voice an opinion when you shouldn't then be prepared for getting an ear bashing. No. 2 home is the scorecard marker and 2 away the rink score keeper.
Sticking to procedure and observing good standards makes the game much more enjoyable than it will be if you have to look at a the face of a skip with the hump !
Enjoy the game and enjoy Christmas.

"Reader Emails," "Dr. Reality Steve" & a New Feature "Daily Links"
Yes, you know you are a true fantasy football geek when for the third year in a row, you fly in for your league's annual draft. As I write this, I'm currently en route to California for the Couch Commando draft taking place this Sunday. Don't get me started on why I'm not the defending champion. Then again, I'm not even sure why I study and research for this sh** considering most of fantasy football is pure luck. So many things out of your control in fantasy football, that it's amazing how to get so wrapped up in it. That's why you'll never see me tweet about who I drafted, or doing running commentary on Sunday on how my players are doing. Why? Because you don't care. So yes, this is a message to anyone who feels the need to tell us about their team in tweets or FB posts: I guarantee none of your friends actually care what's happening in your fantasy league. Stop it.
Busy couple weeks ahead of me as I'm out of town this weekend, then I get back and three days later I'm moving, then there's Labor Day weekend, then the weekend after that I'm in Vegas. However, once I'm back from that, I'm going to try my best to post a "Daily Links" column every day on the site. I'm giving you a little taste of it today with some stories that I've gathered over the last couple days. Most you've probably seen, some maybe you haven't, but basically as a way since I know a lot of you are busy during your day you can't search the internet for stories like I pretty much do. So I'm gonna try and provide you with like your own little pop culture newspaper, giving you links to stories happening in the world of TV and such, along with throwing in a bit of my insight or commentary. When the "Bachelor" starts filming next month, of course I will still be spoiling it in real time, but I want this site to become even bigger than it is, so I figured I'd try this out during the offseason. Probably won't have any columns next week due to packing and moving, but after that, I'll probably get in a couple, then when I return from Vegas, try and make it a daily thing.
Right now, I've got 5 of Juan Pablo's girls who have been accepted to be on the show. I'm waiting til I get a few more before I start posting any of them, but I'll obviously let you know when I do. Probably do it closer to when filming begins, which as of right now, I believe is slated for Monday, Sept. 16th. It's either that Monday or Tuesday, since girls start arriving on Sat. the 14th. So maybe the week before is when I'll release who I have at that point. So far this crop looks no different than any other season: pageant girls, models, etc. You know, exactly the type of the women that are gung ho about immediately becoming a step mom to Camila. Should be interesting.
One story that I must address which WetPaint broke a couple days ago, was the breakup up former "Bachelor Pad" and "Bachelor" contestant Paige Vigil and her boyfriend. I honestly think this might be my favorite story of the year. Why? Ummmm, cuz it's not a story. Look, if Paige was dating someone within the franchise, then absolutely if there was a breakup, I'd expect to hear about it. But this story only came about because, wait for it, Paige's ex Lance DeGroot felt the need to run to a media outlet with it. This ass clown might now be my favorite guy ever. Lance you do realize that no one knows who the hell you are nor do they care, right? Why on earth would you think that people cared about your breakup with Paige, especially when she dumped you? Why the need to tell a media outlet about it? No one knows you.
So Paige dumps him and within 48 hours, he's firing off an email to WetPaint alerting them they've broken up? By the way, I've been able to get a hold of this email he sent them and ummm, wow. Lance DeGroot is officially off his rocker. He stated that their breakup "is big news all over the Twin Cities at the moment" as they are both "well known socialites in the Midwest." With all due respect to Paige because I'm sure she's a lovely girl and who couldn't feel sorry for someone who was on two different shows and never got a rose, but I'm guessing there are exactly ZERO people in the Twin Cities talking about their breakup. Kim and Kanye you are not. So for this douchenozzle to run to WetPaint with that story is completely delusional and probably a good thing Paige dumped his ass.
I don't think I need to play Sherlock Holmes here to see Lance the Opportunists ulterior motives at play. He's obviously hurt by the breakup so rather than act like a normal human would accept this breakup like an adult, he's basically trying to make Paige look bad, all while announcing to others who don't have a f***ing clue who he is "Hey, I'm available," not to mention I guarantee there's a part of him that would like nothing better than to be cast on the "Bachelorette" as well. Lance, you failed in every area possible. If anything, this would make you look even worse to any future girls, your desperate attempt at extending whatever 15 minutes you thought you had couldn't possibly have come across any worse, and now you're a laughingstock who got dumped and ran to tell the media about it. Based on Lance's reaction thus far, I'm fully expecting to see a YouTube video released any minute similar to this one. I mean, who can forget this gem?
Lance, it's bad enough you've been dealt the hand of having to live with that first name for the rest of your life which just screams "I'm a spoiled brat and full of douchebaggery," but you've set a horrible example for the rest of us male species. I do want to thank WetPaint though for bringing this story to my attention and letting me know that Lance gave them a heads up that Paige had broken up with him. Whew. I was losing sleep every night wondering what was gonna happen with those two lovebirds. Thanks for clearing it up Lance, and thank you WetPaint for letting us know about it. My weekend can now continue. Moving on…
traversingthetwincities
I live in the Twin Cities & your suspicions are correct. NO ONE here knows anything about these two and/or cares about this break-up. There are a couple of significantly more recognizable members of the franchise living in Minneapolis and no one acts like they're celebs, let alone Paige. There are people who think they are "socialites" in MSP and try to get in the social pages of local magazines, but no one else gives them a second thought.
To the reader email that was concerned with people not attending Gia's funeral from the franchise…
I follow quite a number of the "alum" on twitter and instagram and whole BUNCH of them met up in Chicago recently and held a celebration of life ceremony for her.
Don't be so quick to judge.
minneapple85
I also live in the Twin Cities, and I can honestly say I have never even heard of either of these two. Definitely not a break up that is newsworthy, and I have surely done and said much more embarrassing things after a break up. Even the WetPaint article was a bit dry. Except for the part about Paige texting her ex while on vacation with her current boyfriend. This is a definite no no ladies. If you need restaurant recommendations, use the internet, don't text your ex!
mstrattosphere
Boring. Next.
I once kicked the side mirror off of my ex girlfriends car after we broke up (I had to pay for it). This is hardly dramatic. Women make you CRAZY!
montrealaise
I laughed out loud when I read Juan Pablo's tweet. He makes it so obvious that he is doing The Bachelor a) to become famous and b) to get laid (not necessarily in that order). Now, I know that just about every other contestant goes on the show for the same reasons, but most of them have the good sense to keep their real motives hidden.
For Juan Pablo to send out those kind of tweets, he must be really, really dumb. I can't wait for the season to start – this is going to be so good.
Steve, thanks for the off season blog. I could do without the excuses about all the vacations you will be taking…. so that you won't be writing again soon. But, if I recall, this is where you got into trouble last time. Vacation after vacation. Then, boom, here are the picks….. and they are wrong. Maybe a little more elbow grease this season? It can't hurt, right? Then when you're right, take all the vacations you want.
Besides, you know that MF gamed you last time. He's wised up & you will need to adjust. Obviously whatever source you used is either compromised or you're getting them from friends who know nothing. Time to step it up. MF has thrown down the gauntlet. He means to make a fool of you….. even though he looks foolish even bothering.
bigfatwoman2
Just got home from seeing Woody Allen's movie BLUE JASMINE with an amazing performance by Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin. And….Ali Fedowtowsky with a bit role as a personal trainer? She only had a couple of lines but her inclusion made no sense to me. I'm sure the vast majority of Woody Allen fans don't know who she is….but it really threw me for a loop, was unexpected and a real turn off.
Maybe Steve mentioned this but I knew nothing about it. Don't do that anymore Woody Allen…..you almost ruined a great movie.
bfw: I could be completely confused, but didn't you once tell us that you were a personal trainer? If so, it must have added a little extra oompf to see Ali playing one.
Unfortunately for me, even though he's a creative genius, Woody's marriage to his stepdaughter and his lack of any kind of insight into the issue of roles and boundaries kind of ended my enjoyment of his movies.
On the subject of movies, however, I saw The Butler last night. "Wow!" is all I can say. That, and "amazing". (Do I sound like a contestant on the show?)
Yes @Athena…..good memory, I am a personal trainer. It didn't matter to me the role Ali was playing….it was the fact that she was in this movie. I know what you mean about Woody Allen….he's an odd guy for sure.
I'm going to see The Butler tomorrow….looking forward to it.
finalrose2013
Boy Juan Pablo's season will be embarrassing! It drives me crazy that people call him Venezuelan, if he was born in the USA…
His diva videos also drive me nuts! Good job promoting the recording of videos while driving, Juan! Really girls, is this really attractive for the majority of you react so crazily?
http://instagram.com/p/dZ6WSPud0z/
Can't wait for this season! It's gonna be a joke, and the lead is the one already showing us that.
bfw…I think I read somewhere that someone affiliated with Blue Jasmine is a fan of The Bach/Bachette, and requested she read for the part. I won't be seeing it. I don't enjoy Woody Allen movies. I watched Silver Linings Playbook the other night. Excellent movie!!!! Bradley Cooper….big sigh.
This season with JP sounds like it might be a ball with all the opportunities to laugh at his antics. I don't keep up with him via Twitter, etc., but the little I've heard indicates JP might quite a tool,
Once the cameras are rolling, don't you think they'll keep a tight leash on JP and only show us his most favorable side? I wouldn't even put it past them to be promoting some of the crazy stuff he's doing now in order to hype the show. Heck, if you weren't one of the people who was wild about him before, you're bound to be intrigued by the trainwreck he seems to be now.
iheartvino
Love the added feature of the "daily links," Steve, thanks for doing that.
I agree with those who have mentioned the absurdity of Juan Pablo's excessive selfies and videos. It's just not normal for an adult to do that, let alone a guy. My teenage stepdaughters don't post as many selfies as he does, and they're both addicted to Instagram and Snapchat. Sure, Juan Pablo is nice to look at, but I don't know if his looks will be enough to carry his season without it getting boring. I'm sure the girls will add a lot of drama as usual.
jacartwright
I dont know who these people are that broke up. I have followed the show for a long time and I have never heard of them. Oh well I hope they are better now.
I cant wait for Juan Pablos season. Whether he is in it for love or fame it will be funny. He is easy on the eyes but im not sure if anyones home upstairs?
As far as Woody Allen, in any comments he's made about his movies, he clearly states that he's completely doing the movies for himself. It's for fun and for his ego. But it's not based on reviews, attendance, or anything like that. So, if Woody likes Ali, then boom, she's in the movie. Period. If people hate her, or love her, he doesn't care. By the time the movie airs, he's knee deep into his next vanity project. I'm told that he pays zero attention to how the movie performs, unless it unexpectedly draws extra attention that creates interview requests, or something. Then it's like, "oh, gee, I'm glad people like it. It's unexpected. Blablabla."
It is interesting that The Bachelor hasn't reigned in Juan Pah-blows antics on social media. My guess is that they're taking the "any publicity, even bad publicity, is better than no publicity". If people tune in to watch a train wreck, then they're tuning in. That's all that matters. The Kardashians certainly don't discourage it & they're the gold standard for reality programs. I'd say more than half, maybe quite a bit more than half, watch the Kardashians for the same reason people slow to view burning vehicles and dead bodies. It's certainly not because they're role models. Kris and Bruce are awful parents. Kim screws anyone with a tan, divorces within days and has a baby out of wedlock. Lamar Odom trashes his entire legitimate sports career to join the circus. It's not pretty, but numbers are numbers.
It's a good question about how they will edit Juan Pah-blow. Traditionally, you'd expect a good edit. Hack out anything too unflattering. I wonder though. Will they go to the dark side and make it a circus side show. Remember, they did show Ben Flatdick skinny dipping with Courtney, barely edited, (possibly the most hated contestant ever), which essentially doomed him in the court of public opinion. Later it RS revealed that Mike Fleiss hated Ben, and we know how vindictive MF can be. There is no slight too small that doesn't require a snide response from him. Harrison threw out some not so thinly veiled barbs about Des this past season. Charlie McConnell was edited as he was, a total frat boy horn dog. So, negative edits have happened. We'll see.
rob22…Lamar Odom is busy creating his own circus without the Kardashians. What a loser he turned out to be. He doesn't need their help trashing his life. He's dong it himself as we speak.
Dang it! I wrote the longest comment, and then accidentally deleted it..
In summary, I was wondering if the Juan Pablo selfie situation is a cultural thing.. maybe he's just really excited about being the new Bachelor? Idk. But I did like him on Des's season, so hopefully he's just caught up in the excitement of what's to come for him. I don't follow him on anything, but it's annoying when anyone uploads hundreds of selfies, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until his season airs.
Rob- you're spot on about the Kardashians and the Bachelor, specifically Ben's season. Funny thing is, Courtney Robertson was one of my favorite characters.. don't get me wrong, I couldn't stand her, but she provided so much entertainment. I feel like the season would have been horribly boring without her- she was fun to watch. The Bachelor is the only Reality Show I really watch (besides The Voice), and there are a few different reasons I enjoy it.. the ridiculousness of it, to see if Steve is right, the cattiness, and the overall plot just makes me laugh. I am, however, happy when a couple does work out bc they beat the odds..
Iheart- I am, too, so happy that Steve is adding the Daily Links! It will save people like me the time to search for articles that I never have enough time to search for or read. I always end up hearing about the gossip from friends, so it will be nice to come to this page and read a summary of what's going on.. Thanks, Steve! You're such a giver 😉
kasey…you're right about Flatd***** season. It would have been really boring without Courtney, someone a lot of people loved to hate. There have been a few really bad Bachelor's, but Ben, IMO, was the worst in every way.
Clarification….I didn't call Lamar Odom a loser because of the alleged addictions issues. Addiction is a disease, an epidemic, and I know a few people battling those overwhelming issues. It's very sad. What gets me is the alleged cheating. I never understood why someone would hurt another person so badly, when an honest breakup before it happened would save a lot of heartache. I hope he gets his act together. Overall, he seems like a decent person.
Lamar Odom is an interesting case. He came directly out of High School, when that was still allowed, hyped very highly as a future Kevin Garnett. Initially, he was pretty much a bust. Which is amazing conidering all of his talent. But he found his niche in LA as a sixth man who could do a little bit of everything. Then, of course, he hooked up with the Kardashians.
As happens on The Bachelor, he started to get enamored even more with himself. Remember, he was still more of a glorified role player on a team with Kobe, Pau, Metta-World, Phil Jackson et al. that sucked up a lot of the air in the room.
So, now he's getting lots of face time and views on a reality show. Then, bam, his career in basketball completely tanks & is actually released by the Mavs…. they ate his contract to be rid of him just one year (or two) removed from being sixth man of the year. It's thought because of his lack of focus on his game… and becomes a "reality star".
Reality stars are all about themselves. It's a completely narcissistic pursuit…. oddly even more so than an NBA career, in Odom's case. I don't watch that crap Kardashian show, but I guess he's quite out of control these days. It's interesting that a guy who should have been used to a fair amount of public attention couldn't handle being a reality star without having it effect his life. So, what chance does anyone else have?
It kind of explains all the Bachelor Pad and off screen stuff that goes on with ex-Bachelor contestants. So, now Juan Pah-blow…. he could be the creme de la creme in this regard. If he's that impacted, after about 5 minutes of Bachelorette airtime, and before he ever even starts filming The Bachelor…. just imagine where this tool might take it. On one level I imagine him being so laughable that he blows up the entire franchise…. but on the other end, maybe it's so over the top people just have to watch the train wreck & they get very high ratings. It will be interesting to see!
Karyn- Agreed. I always had a lot of respect for Lamar on the court and off. He does/did seem like a really decent guy, and Khloe's love for him was very apparent. I hope the allegations aren't true- cheating is an awful thing, and it will take years for her to recover from it, if she ever does.
I'm trying hard to give Juan Pablo the benefit of a doubt until his season airs, but he's making it tough with all the constant tweets and Instagram selfies. I'm not following him on either, but the few times I've checked, I've seen a ton. Kasey, I would agree that maybe it's just a culture thing, but I noticed that his selfies didn't get to the over the top level until Des's season started airing. If I had to guess, I'd say finding a wife and stepmom for his daughter is not his #1 reason for signing up for the Bachelor gig.
Regarding Lamar and the cheating rumors, I hate when people make blanket statements so I know what I'm about to say probably makes me a hypocrite. I think the majority of successful professional athletes cheat on their spouses. Not all, but a good portion of them. When women marry men that are traveling a good amount of time and have all that money and live that kind of flashy lifestyle, I've got to think they know what they're signing up for. Do I agree with it? Of course not. I was disappointed in Kobe, one of my all time favorite athletes, and I was disappointed in Tiger, whom I always thought seemed like an arrogant ass. I just wasn't surprised with either.
Don't get me wrong, I think cheating on a spouse or someone you're in a committed relationship with is always wrong. I agree with Karyn in that breaking up is always way more respectful than cheating. I'm just never surprised when I hear reports of so-and-so NFL or NBA player cheating on his wife or girlfriend. It's far more common than what we hear about. That being said, I hope Lamar gets help, especially if he has a serious drug problem. He was one of my favorites when he was a Laker.
Iheart- I agree, a lot of the time I hear about things like this and think to myself, "what did you expect marrying HIM?!"
But in all fairness, I think people are more affected/surprised by it because they make their relationship so public, and, therefore, people are more invested and feel like they "know" them personally, unlike Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods who are more of a mystery.
I'm not too surprised by the cheating, but I'm also not surprised that this story has shocked more people than Kobe's or Tiger's. A lot of people (I am not one of them) tune in to watch their dumb show, and so now it seems more like a gimmick and a farce. <— not that we needed this story to tell us that, but in reality, they always seemed like a happy couple- it just goes to show you that you never know what's truly going on behind closed doors, even when cameras seem to be rolling 24/7.
I, too, hope he gets help. I liked the guy, and I never really saw him as the "cheating" type, but drugs will make you do questionable things, no doubt.
I agree on athletes iheart. Imagine the boredom of travelling for half the season. Combine that with lots of time off…. a typical NBA week consists of 3-4 games and some short practices (very few full practices). It's a long season, so they don't want to beat the players to death. As a result, the players have lots of time on their hands. In every player hotel lobby, there are groupies that have one goal, and that is to sleep with players. So, you're a bored athlete, in a narcisstic culture, with hot women throwing themselves at you. You may initially intend to stay away from that…. in fact, the league and union seminars pointedly tell them to stay away…. that these women are trying to use you, in some cases to get pregnant (cha-ching!) or later scream rape & sue you (cha-ching!) or at minimum, to brag that they slept with a player (and wifee finds out)…. but, the boredom and the opportunity become too much to resist. I'm not condoning it at all. Players sometimes get themselves into big trouble & it's really stupid (most pro athletes, don't forget, are not rocket scientists)…. but that's the culture and it happens a lot. I can't say for sure on this, but LeBron seems like potentially one guy of his stature that's staying away from this nonsense. Jordan, Magic, Bird, Chamberlain…. a lot of the big ones, slept with tons of women. A lot of them, like Jalon Rose, have kids with multiple women…. and the child support payments to prove it. Others, like James Worthy, sought out prostitutes, I guess to avoid the potential of an emotional attachment forming.
So, Lamar Odom sleeping around, even though he looks like ET and no longer has a sports career…. is hardly surprising. It's actually the rule, not the exception.

Bookwormlab.com is here to help you! Buy physics coursework from us and enjoy the free time you have, while your coursework is being written by a real professional in physics field!
How to Make Sure You're not Fooled?
There are various websites that offer physics coursework help nowadays. Many of those set unbelievably low prices to buy papers. Of course, it makes you wonder how a well-written paper can cost so little money. The answer is very simple. Most of these writing services are fraudulent and what they do is resell papers over and over to different customers. And their clients have no idea they are paying for what literally is plagiarized. Our advice is to compare prices of different websites, ask for a good friend's recommendation (but be sure this person won't tell anyone you're using writing service help) and do your own research to figure out which of the websites is trustworthy.
What Does Professional Help Mean?
Despite the fact there are so many fraudulent writing services out there in the Internet, there are honest ones too! Below we will provide several tips on how to identify a trustworthy writing service.
Courteous customer care center. Customer service agents are a 'face' of a company and they represent it to the clients. A good company would definitely care to make an excellent first impression on its customers-to-be.
Team of professional writers. This is the most important feature you're looking for. A good writing service should have writers of different academic levels and they should be professionals in the field of study they are writing for. Be sure to ask about it when you call or email a company.
Privacy rules. It is obvious that your identity should remain confidential for the writer. A company, of course, does need your name and phone number to contact you to discuss the details of your order and also your credit card information is required to process the payment. But only customer support and financial department have access to this information. And they usually sign an agreement where they commit themselves not to disclose any part of customers personal info.

Georgia grave marker leads to Jane Doe's identification after murder 38 years ago
By Robert Gearty | Fox News
A Georgia man went to prison for her murder, but for more than 38 years investigators didn't know who she was -- until now.
Shirlene "Cheryl" Hammack was murdered on Halloween in 1981 in Quitman, Ga., and buried in a shallow grave in a cornfield. She remained an unidentified Jane Doe until a woman snapped a photo of her grave marker on the 37th anniversary of the murder and posted it on Facebook, according to reports.
Along with the words, "known only to God" the grave marker was inscribed with a composite sketch from the murder investigation, WTXL-TV reported.
Kayla Bishop saw the Facebook post and then told investigators she recognized the image as that of her childhood friend Hammack, who had disappeared after joining a traveling fair, the station reported.
Shirlene "Cheryl" Hammack has been identified more than 38 years after she was found dead in a Georgia cornfield. (Georgia Bureau of Investigation)
POLICE ID JANE DOE KILLED IN SAN FRANCISCO 43 YEARS AGO
The body was exhumed and DNA from Hammack's mother confirmed the match.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) announced the identification Thursday.
"It was difficult growing up," Hammack's sister Johnnie Hammack-Hay told the station. "Not knowing if she was safe or if she was being taken care of. A lot of worrying. A lot of looking. We searched and searched and we just had no answers."
GBI investigator Jamy Steinberg told the station the conviction of George Newsome for Hammack's murder made this case different.
MURDERED 20-YEAR-OLD WOMAN FINALLY IDENTIFIED 31 YEARS LATER
Newsome was also part of the traveling fair and admitted to strangling and stabbing Hammock during an argument over another man.
He was arrested shortly after the murder but initially refused to admit anything. Investigators tied him to the murder after finding rope used to strangle Hammack in a motor home he had stolen, GBI said.
He was more forthcoming after his capture in Alabama, where he wound up after escaping from jail and spending two years on the lam. Sentenced to life in prison, he died of natural causes behind bars in 1988 when he was 58.
Newsome went to his grave without ever revealing Hammack's identity to investigators, either because he wouldn't say or because he didn't know, GBI said.

Allegiant Air (Honolulu) has announced it is ending all service to Hawaii and as a result will retire the last Boeing 757-200.
The company started service to the 50th State in June 2012 from Fresno and Las Vegas and has been downsizing the number of routes to the islands. Due to rising costs, the company will exit the Hawaii market in early September 2016 when it drops the last route to Honolulu. The last 757 will exit the fleet in early 2017.
Employees in Hawaii will be relocated.

Allegiant issued a statement that dismantles the recent request from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) Local 1224 for the National Mediation Board (NMB) to declare an impasse in pilot contract negotiations, and highlights the significant progress that has been made towards a first contract for Allegiant's pilots.
The full text of Mr. Harfst's letter to employees follows.
Earlier today, the National Mediation Board (NMB) received a letter from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) asking the NMB to declare an impasse in the pilot contract negotiations with Allegiant. I wanted to provide you with Allegiant's perspective on this recent development.
The IBT's request ignores the reality that significant progress is being made in these negotiations. Fourteen of 26 sections have been agreed to, and proposals for the remaining 12 sections are being actively negotiated. In fact, nine sections of the proposed contract have been agreed to just since the start of 2015, which is the clearest evidence that the parties are moving towards an agreement.
Allegiant wants to reach an agreement with its pilots as soon as possible. We are moving forward at the bargaining table and we are nowhere near impasse. This request by the Teamsters is simply their latest scheme-without-substance, which is aimed at putting economic negotiating pressure on Allegiant. We expect this ploy by the IBT to fail — just as it did the last time they attempted this ploy with the NMB in January.
Negotiations are never easy, particularly with a first contract, where both parties are effectively starting from scratch to reach a collective bargaining agreement. But with a willing partner, we can reach an agreement that is fair and recognizes the significant contribution of our pilots to Allegiant's success. Over the last few months, the company has made numerous proposals to the union that include significantly higher wages, improved retirement plans, a union-sponsored health plan, and better scheduling rules for the pilots.
The recent exchange of proposals demonstrates our commitment to our pilots and to the negotiations process. The parties are far from reaching an impasse. On the contrary, negotiations had gained momentum until the union decided it wouldn't move anymore in the hopes of gaining a release from mediation. In fact, more progress has been made over the past several months than in almost three years of negotiations.
We urge the IBT to continue negotiating in good faith. The NMB has already informed us of its intention to hold the next bargaining session scheduled as planned for October 26-27.
We believe that the sooner both sides can reach an agreement, the sooner we can capitalize on the opportunities before us.

Pilots at Allegiant Air, represented by the Airline Professionals Association (APA) Teamsters Local 1224, voted overwhelmingly, 465-8, on January 16 to authorize a strike against Allegiant Air. The 10-day voting period closed at 12:00 p.m. EST January 16, with 98 percent of voting Allegiant Air pilots voting "Yes" to authorize the union to call a strike if necessary.
In early January, the union's leadership decided to put a formal strike authorization vote out to the membership, based on a deadlock in negotiations and Allegiant Air's continued failure to abide by a July 2014 federal court injunction directing Allegiant Air to restore the pilots' work rule protections and benefits to previously negotiated levels.
With this kind of support, the union intends to move forward by seeking a proffer from the National Mediation Board (NMB) under the Railway Labor Act's dispute provisions. Once this has been completed, or to the extent that Allegiant remains unwilling to restore the pilots' work rule protections and benefits, the pilots would be free to conduct a legal strike in the near future.
The pilots have been in negotiations with Allegiant Air for two years with little to no progress. Their first negotiation session began in December of 2012 – with mediated negotiations beginning in April 2014 – and still the company cannot reach agreement with the union on even the most basic conditions in their negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement.
In just two years, three employee groups, encompassing all of Allegiant Air's operational personnel, have joined national labor unions, indicating that the issues at hand in this battle extend far beyond basic management-employee relations. In addition to basic compensation and work rules, the issues center on safety concerns and operational deficiencies that cannot be resolved without the company's willingness to begin reinvesting directly into the company's operation. The pilots contend that vital changes are needed for Allegiant's long-term success, before it's too late.
Teamster pilots with Allegiant Air conducted informational picketing on Tuesday at McCarran International Airport and Allegiant Air Corporate Headquarters in Las Vegas, as well as at St Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport and Fort Lauderdale International Airport in Florida, to make the public aware of their fight for infrastructural investments into Allegiant Air's operational systems, basic industry averages in salary and for other job protection measures that are standard in the airline industry.
Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air is one of the most profitable airlines in the world, reporting a profit for 47 consecutive quarters. Its executives are among the highest compensated in the industry, yet its pilots are among the lowest paid and are subject to substandard working conditions in comparison to the rest of the industry.

Britney Spears wears only a tiny red thong and high heels in this video.
Britney Spears wears only a tiny red thong and high heels when she performs.
BRITNEY Spears continued to flaunt her newfound freedom this week by posting a series of sultry photos in only a thong.
Since her infamous conservatorship ended last year, the pop star, 40, has flaunted her body on Instagram several times, and her most recent photos have boyfriend Sam Asghari hot under the collar.
After seeing his partner show off her bum in the skimpy red underwear, the model commented that he was "jealous" of the snapper.
The photos were taken by Andrea McClain, and rapper Iggy Azalea commented, "Red blooded womannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
The sultry photos were captioned "Booty time" by Britney herself.
She proudly exclaimed, "Free woman energy has never felt better," as she posed fully naked last week.
She used flower and heart emojis to cover her breasts and vagina.
Despite the fact that comments were disabled, her empowering Instagram photos received nearly 1 million likes in the first hour after she posted them.
Britney has previously shared revealing photos on Instagram, and she's been enjoying posting carefree content since July.
Her big conservatorship win came this summer, much to the delight of her fans.
Jamie had control over her personal and business affairs for 13 years under a contentious legal arrangement.
She wrote a venomous message at the time, claiming that certain members of her family had "ruined" her life.
"Take me as I am or kiss my a**, eat s**t, and step on legos," she captioned an image on Instagram.
"For those of you who choose to criticize my dancing videos, look, I'm not gonna be performing on any stages anytime soon with my dad handling what I wear, say, do, or think!" she wrote in the lengthy caption to the sassy quote.
"I've been doing it for 13 years… I'd rather share videos YES from my living room than onstage in Vegas, where some people couldn't even shake my hand."
"And I ended up getting a weed contact high all the time… Which was fine, but it would have been nice to be able to go to the mother f**king spa!"
Britney and her fiancée have made it clear that they want to start a family together.
"What are you and Britney's plans for Christmas?" a TMZ reporter inquired. "Baby making," Sam replied.
Britney is the mother of two children, Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15.
Kevin Federline, her ex-husband, shares them with her.
She is said to be hoping for another child with Sam, a baby girl.
Britney has "talked about wanting a baby girl for years," according to sources.

Well hello, PedalPinters!! What's it been, two years? Sorry for such a long leave from my duties as your glorious leader; but, well, it started with the addition of that puppy I told you about. Keeping an eye on him, and keeping him from waking the house with barking was just a killer to sitting down and writing anything!
Life has returned sufficiently to normal now (yeah, challenging dog) and I'm so excited to share stuff with you!
I trust you have been PedalPinting along nicely. Have I? You bet your sweet bippy.
One of my bikes at Urban Artifact. The place has since gotten more fully furnished so parking inside is not usually what I do these days. Awesome that I discovered their neat homemade bike rack out in the courtyard area!
Another obstacle to my joining you online has been that I lost many of the pictures I had taken for my piece regarding observations about Cincinnati from the viewpoint of an outsider. I recently found a decent amount of pics and look forward to putting together that work – not just as a one-year resident, but now as a three year resident! Lucky you!

Q: How to add this multidimensional matrix? i am totally new guy to javascript.I dont know how to add these two varible that  are in multidimensional array in matrix way.Would you pls suggest any npm module with
an example or the manual algorithm would be appreciated.
these are my two varibles
var MatrixA = [[13,5,0][11,6,4][10,7,2][9,8,0]]
var MatrixB =  [[103,50,0][11,60,40][10,70,20][90,80,0]]

A: Not sure what exactly you want
I am considering you want to add up all the numbers of these arrays
If so ,consider the following code snippet

var MatrixA = [[13,5,0],[11,6,4],[10,7,2],[9,8,0]];
var MatrixB =  [[103,50,0],[11,60,40],[10,70,20],[90,80,0]];
var sum=0;
for(var i=0;i<3;i++){
    for(var j=0;j<3;j++){
        sum+=MatrixA[i][j]+MatrixB[i][j];
    }

}
console.log(sum);

Hope this helps

A: Check the following code snippet

var MatrixA = [[13, 5, 0], [11, 6, 4], [10, 7, 2], [9, 8, 0]];
var MatrixB = [[103, 50, 0], [11, 60, 40], [10, 70, 20], [90, 80, 0]];
var sumMatrix = [[], [], []];
var j = 0
  , k = 0;
l = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
  for(var j=0;j<3;j++){
    sumMatrix[i][j]=MatrixA[i][j]+MatrixB[i][j];
  }
}for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
  for(var j=0;j<3;j++){
    console.log(sumMatrix[i][j]);
    }

Hope this helps

A: First of all you need to declare another 2d array, lets say sum=[[],[],[]] to store the sum in. Then all you need to do is simply add the the two matrices.
C code:
for(i=0;i<r;++i)
    for(j=0;j<c;++j)
    {
        sum[i][j]=a[i][j]+b[i][j];
    }

I have actually never really coded much in Javascript but was able to put together a program on an online compiler I am getting NaN. But still works, and gives output.
var MatrixA = [[13,5,0],[11,6,4],[10,7,2],[9,8,0]];
var MatrixB =  [[103,50,0],[11,60,40],[10,70,20],[90,80,0]];
var sum=[[],[],[],[]];

for (var i=0 ; i<MatrixA.length; i++ )

    for (var j=0;j<MatrixB.length; j++)
        {
             sum[i][j]=MatrixA[i][j]+MatrixB[i][j];
        }

for (var i=0 ; i<MatrixA.length; i++ )

    for (var j=0;j<MatrixB.length; j++)
        {
             console.log(sum[i][j]);
        }

A: May be you can do as follows;

var m1 = [[13,5,0],[11,6,4],[10,7,2],[9,8,0]],
    m2 = [[103,50,0],[11,60,40],[10,70,20],[90,80,0]],
result = m1.map((a,i) => a.map((n,j) => n + m2[i][j]));

console.log(JSON.stringify(result));

Malcolm Terrey joins cast of Kinky Boots
Renos chats to Nik Rabinowitz about his new show Work In Progress


It's nice to be back writing my monthly "Mayor's Minute" column after a three-month election season break, requested by the Coast News, to promote an even playing field and not appear to favor one candidate over another.
Now that I've been re-elected with nearly 84 percent of the Encinitas vote, I'm happy to continue letting you know in this column what we are working on at city hall. I'm honored by your overwhelming support! Thank you. I'll always to do my best to justify your faith in me.
Once again, housing dominated last month's biggest news in Encinitas. After the ballot box failure of two housing plans in 2016 and in 2018, it appeared at the latest court hearing that the judge had had enough.
Superior Court Judge Ronald Frazier indicated that the city's days without a plan for future housing are numbered. His final written decision on what Encinitas must do to comply with state housing law will be released on Dec. 12.
There's a common misperception that Encinitas is being targeted by housing lawsuits that aim to force Encinitas to zone for more housing, and that somehow other cities avoid this. The reality is that every city in the county needs to have and does have a state-certified plan that allows for more housing, mostly for lower wage people. Encinitas is the only city without this required housing plan.
You don't hear about the housing struggles in other cities because their elected city councils adopt housing plans as part of the routine business of what they are elected to do. They take public input, hold hearings, and in the end the councils follow the law by adopting a plan that complies with state housing laws.
In Encinitas, we follow the same procedure, but with an added step. After our city council adopts the plan, it goes to a vote of the people. This is because of Prop. A, which requires that upzoning must be approved by a majority vote of the residents. Prop. A passed in 2013, the same year this housing plan was due to be adopted.
Preemption is the idea that state laws override city ordinances when the two are in conflict.
In our case, state housing laws which require more housing preempt Prop. A, when the voting requirement appears to stand in the way of our city complying with the state law.
What remained unclear from the hearing is the extent of the possible preemption. It almost certainly appeared that it would apply to the housing plan in this housing cycle – we're six years into the current eight-year cycle with two failed attempts. But immediately after this cycle ends, a new one begins, during which state law stipulates that we'll have to zone for even more housing.
Even if there is court-mandated preemption, there may be circumstances where proposed upzoning isn't required by state housing laws. In those cases, the Prop. A vote requirement would still apply.
Both the judge and the parties in court repeatedly referred to our situation as an "impasse." Now it will be resolved by the court.
Meanwhile, I'm continuing to focus on the pieces of the housing puzzle that we can control, specifically the creation of pre-approved plans for backyard homes. I'm excited about the roll-out of our pre-approved accessory dwelling unit plans.
Two local architects have developed eight different floor plans, from studios to three-bedroom designs. Using a pre-approved plan to build an accessory unit or granny flat should dramatically reduce the plan check and city processing review time. The point is to reduce costs, barriers and friction to allow homeowners more flexibility to provide additional housing, plus potential rental income for themselves.
On Jan. 9, the City Council will hear a preview, and on Jan. 22, Encinitas will hold a public workshop to unveil the opportunities. Both events are at city hall at 6 p.m.
In other City Council news … at our last council meeting, we honored outgoing City Councilmembers Tasha Boerner Horvath and Mark Muir. Tasha has been elected to represent us in California's 76th Assembly District, and Mark say she's retiring but will remain active in the community. With great appreciation, we wish them both the very best!
If you can join us on for the inauguration ceremony for Councilmember Joe Mosca, Councilmember-elect JodyHubbard and me at city hall on December 11, at 6 p.m. we'd love to see you there.

Media Statement – Budget 2018
The Irish Senior Citizens Parliament (ISCP), representing 330 affiliated organisations, is calling for the delivery of election promises in Budget 2018. Tomorrow at the Department of Employment and Social Protection Pre-Budget Forum in Dublin Castle, we look forward to discussing with Minister Regina Doherty T.D the EXPECTATIONS of older people for BUDGET 2018
We seek in BUDGET 2018 the implementation of A Programme of Recovery for Older People 2018-2020.
We now need concrete proposals and timelines which will incrementally restore and improve the conditions, health and general wellbeing of all older people.
Our specific proposals, informed by input from members across Ireland, include the Restoration of Cuts and Benefits and an Agreed Timetable to achieve this over the next 2 years.
We have welcomed the gradual restoration of the State Pension, but now it is time to accelerate this process and that is why we are calling for a €6, across the board, increase to all State Pensions and the restoration of the Transition Pension, or, failing this, an increase in the Jobseeker's Allowance for older workers.
The issue of the 'older old' is also vitally important, with increasing frailty and mobility issues leading to increased costs. We are asking for an increase of €6 to the State Pension for all older people aged over 80.
We also call for an end to the unfair system of denial of access for pensioners to the industrial machinery of the State to vindicate their rights with regard to occupational pensions and for the introduction of a Pension Protection Fund, similar to that which exists in the UK.

Cancer in India: Gender bias affecting fewer diagnosis among girls, says Lancet study
1 min read . Updated: 30 Nov 2022, 01:51 PM IST Sounak Mukhopadhyay
In comparison to Southern India, fewer females were seeking treatment in hospitals and clinics in Northern India.
The male-to-female ratios in Delhi have increased over the past 15 years.
Gender bias in Indian society is likely to be the reason why there are more boys than girls receiving cancer diagnoses in India, according to a new study.
There was a considerable gender disparity in the approximately 11,000 patients registered in the PBCRs, with boys much more likely to be given a cancer diagnosis. In a similar vein, we observed that more boys than girls sought treatment among the 22,000 children with cancer registered in the three institutions, as per the study published in The Lancet Oncology.
Fewer girls visited hospitals if they were more than 100 kilometres away from their homes, indicating that if treatment costs rose, the bias would probably follow. The male-to-female ratios in Delhi have increased over the past 15 years, according to the researchers.

In comparison to Southern India, the researchers found that fewer females were seeking treatment in hospitals and clinics in Northern India. Patients from rural regions saw a greater gender gap than those from metropolitan locations. They suggested that this could be related to the diverse socioeconomic structures seen around the nation.
In relation to the ratio in the corresponding PBCRs, the researchers calculated the male to female sex ratio from the three hospitals. They were able to determine how many boys with cancer sought treatment for every girl who did so thanks to this ratio.

The expense of therapy also has an impact on sex ratios. When out-of-pocket costs are higher, such as when receiving care from private hospitals or living far from the treatment centre, the researchers observed that fewer females sought cancer treatment. This suggests that several social and economic factors interact to produce the gender bias that has been seen.

Joint efforts are required to reduce the cost of treatment for patients, especially for girl children, and to change the mindset of the population in order to overcome the bias, the study notes.

Tory finance boss puts the brakes on second home council tax hike of 75%
20 Jan 2022 3 minute read

Elgan Hearn, local democracy reporter
A Tory finance boss has put the breaks on a move to hike council tax on second homes by 75%.
Cllr Aled Davies, the finance portfolio holder and Conservative group leader on Powys County Council, has argued that the council tax base could be "destabilised" or "reduced" with shifts to business rates if the local authority went ahead with the plan.
He argued that any increases in council tax charged to the owners of second homes, holiday homes and holiday lets are reliant on decisions to be made by the Welsh Government.
This was revealed at a meeting of Powys County Council's Finance Panel on Thursday, January 20, as councillors went through next year's budget proposals page by page.
The draft budget agreed by the Independent/Conservative cabinet includes a 3.9 per cent rise in the council tax.
Plaid Cymru group leader Cllr Elwyn Vaughan pointed out that he saw no sign of an increase on the second/holiday home premium which would take it up to 75% above the normal council tax bill.
This rise was agreed at a full council meeting in September 2020 and then went out to consultation late in 2020.
If implemented, figures from 2020 suggest it would gain the council an extra £350,000 in council tax.
Cllr Vaughan said: "I recall 18 months ago full council decided to raise the council tax on holiday homes and there are around 1,300 of them registered in Powys.
"There was a subsequent consultation period as is needed, but I see no reference to that increase happening in any documentation.
"I wouldn't want to see our residents being clobbered by higher cost at this difficult time, while people who can afford more than one house being let off the hook."
'Swept up'
Finance portfolio holder and Powys' Conservative group leader Cllr Aled Davies said: "It's been swept up by the Welsh Government review on second homes, holiday homes and holiday lets and it's important the legislation gives us the tools.
"There would be a risk that without legislation it would destabilise the tax base and shift holiday/second homes into the business rates section."
Business rates while collected by local authorities are set by the Welsh Government. The government receive the money and re-distribute it back to councils as part of the annual local authority financial settlement.
Finance Panel chairman, Cllr John Morris asked if anything could be done?
Cllr Davies said: "We're waiting for the outcome of the consultation."
Cllr Vaughan pointed out that local authorities "at this moment" have the legal right to raise council tax premium up to 200%.
Cllr Vaughan said: "There will be further legislation in due course, but that power already exists, the will of the council is not being implemented."
Cllr Davies re-iterated that he didn't want the council tax base to be "destabilised" or "reduced" with shifts to business rates.
"It would be the wrong move without closing that loophole," said Cllr Davies.
The Welsh Government's consultation on "local taxes for second homes and self-catering accommodation" took place between August 25 and November 17, 2021.
The government say that they are now "reviewing the responses" and that they will publish an outcome "in due course."
'..puts the breaks on'. Should be 'puts the brakes on', surely?

Depends on whether he broke any arms while twisting them 😀
