Wales and West Housing, the scandal continues

In the previous post 'Sister Sledge' and I tried, in our different ways, to explain the Labour Party's links with various other bodies, from Spartist rent-a-mob-with-whistles outfits to superficially respectable social housing bodies.
Ultimately, such linkages combine to create a system not unlike those we see in one-party states, where the reach of the ruling party extends into every area of national life. Such contempt for plurality ignores the fact that Labour gets just a third of the votes in Assembly elections and it leads, as in true dictatorships, to over-confidence and even corruption.
Which might explain what I'm now going to tell you. Though if someone can satisfactorily prove to me that it's nothing more than a genuine mistake then I shall make that clear in a subsequent post.
PLAS MOROLWG
To give you the fullest understanding of the subject I think some background information would be helpful.
Plas Morolwg was a general needs family scheme owned by Bromford Carinthia, an English housing association, and built in the late 1970s. You have to wonder who gave planning permission for an English outfit to ship in dozens of people many of whom would have had special needs, with each one adding to the burden on the local health and other services.
But the importation of England's problems still goes on, the difference today is that it's done by 'Welsh' organisations using Welsh public money! Yet I have heard of no residential homes or social housing developments in England catering for Welsh people and paid for from English funds. Isn't that strange?
Tai Cantref, based in Newcastle Emlyn, was pressured into buying Plas Morolwg by Tai Cymru, the former umbrella organisation for registered social landlords, now superseded by Community Housing Cymru. It was not a good buy.
To begin with, Plas Morolwg stood in an exposed location above the harbour/marina in Aberystwyth. It's a nice spot when the sun's out but otherwise at the mercy of the weather coming in off Cardigan Bay. Enough of a problem in itself, but Plas Morolwg was not very well built either, and a storm in February 2014 exposed just how bad a job the builders had done.
Almost before the wind had died down Tai Cantref slapped in a planning application on 11 February 2014 to demolish Plas Morolwg and replace it with a "mixed affordable and open market residential re-development". (Ref No A140117.)
From @alanhalephoto, click to enlarge
As you've seen in the link supplied above, Outline Planning Permission was granted 7 October 2014 and Plas Morolwg was demolished in January 2015.
But more storm clouds were gathering. For some bad business decisions by Tai Cantref encouraged Bay Bubble scheming that saw this housing association brought to its knees and handed over to the Labour Party's favourite RSL, Wales and West Housing.
This arranged marriage was formalised in September 2016. Which meant of course that Wales and West came into full possession of the now-cleared and ready-to-build-on Plas Morolwg site.
In addition to the Tai Cantref planning application to demolish and rebuild Plas Morolwg Wales and West has submitted a further application – Ref No A170922 – for a further eight "residential apartments". (Are there non-residential apartments?)
This presumably is in addition to the Tai Cantref application of February 2014 for 64 apartments. The original Plas Morolwg complex was just 44 apartments, but the new building is two storeys higher and many believe it's an even bigger eyesore than the original.
One thing's for sure, the biddies on the top floor are in for exciting times when 90mph westerlies blow in from Labrador.
The next development in this saga was Ceredigion council announcing that the Bodlondeb extra care facility in Aberystwyth faced closure. This news was exploited by the Labour Party and its formed-for-the-purpose front organisation the Ceredigion People's Assembly. (Not to be confused with the People's Assembly of Ceredigion, or the Popular Assembly of Ceredigion.)
In response to the campaign the council entered into talks with Wales and West in the summer of 2017 for an extra care residential facility on the Plas Morolwg site to partly replace Bodlondeb.
So a Labour-led campaign against Ceredigion's non-Labour council eventually drove the council into the arms of the Labour-run Wales and West Housing, which may now be in a position to demand whatever it wants on the Plas Morolwg site.
I have been helped with this section by someone who has signed up to the new party, someone with connections in Ceredigion Council and Cantref, and this individual has some very interesting information about the Council's final quarter Social Housing Grant programme bid to the 'Welsh' Government.
Submitted by Keith Davies, on 16th February 2018, I am informed that the bid spreadsheet includes the following statement: "We have included a drawdown request for the Plas Morolwg extra care scheme acquisition stage totalling £1,690,000 . . . "
The spreadsheet shows £1,051,000 being claimed for site acquisition of Plas Morolwg in the 2017/18 Social Housing Grant development programme; with an extra £188,500 claimed from any spare moolah available in 2017/18 surplus grant round to top up the "remaining acquisition grant only".
This seems to suggest that Wales and West is to be paid Social Housing Grant to buy a development site that they acquired when the 'Welsh' Government encouraged them to take over Tai Cantref. In other words, a site they already own!
But just to be sure, I went to the Land Registry website. From there I downloaded both the title and the map of the site. There seems to be little question that Wales and West owns the Plas Morolwg site and with no money owing to banks or other lenders.
But then I got to thinking, 'Well, hang on, maybe Wales and West is buying some extra land, and that explains this "acquisition stage" payment?' So I went to the plan on the Ceredigion Council website, the plan relating to the proposed redevelopment of the site, and compared it with the Land Registry map.
They're identical. As you can see for yourself.
The proposed development moves down the hill to minimise the impact of the two extra storeys and this will almost certainly mean that access, parking and just about everything else will be located at the rear of the building.
'THE WILD WEST SHOW'
In the days when Ceredigion council was run by men of property, planning permission was so easy to come by, and planning rules treated with such contempt, that Paul Flynn, the veteran Newport West MP, described Ceredigion council as "the Wild West Show".
Those days of greedy landowners enriching themselves may be gone, but a new menace to open and honest local government in Ceredigion has emerged in the form of Momentum, whose followers act as foot-soldiers for a locally unelectable Labour Party and its linked organisations.
This was all explained in my previous post.
Juvenile leftists with nothing better to do are one thing, but with Wales and West Housing we are dealing with a ruthless – possibly corrupt – organisation bent on hoovering up rivals thanks to funding and political support provided by its parent body, 'Welsh' Labour.
So we need answers to the following questions, and these answers must come from Wales and West itself, Cyngor Ceredigion, and the 'Welsh' Labour Government.
First, has the Plas Morolwg development received full planning approval? Then, given the history of the site, where will the residents come from?
But perhaps most important of all – is Wales and West Housing receiving £1.69m to buy a site it already owns? If so, why? And who authorised this funding?
The time has come for opposition politicians in the Assembly to demand an investigation into social housing in Wales; we must know exactly how it's funded, whether it meets – even exceeds – the needs of Wales, and the relationship between some housing associations – particularly Wales and West Housing – and 'Welsh' Labour.
UPDATE 01.03.2018: Someone sent me a 'Welsh' Government document called a (social housing) Programme Delivery Plan for Ceredigion. I'm not sure how readable it is, but anyway, here's the link.
The first page lists a number of projects in the pipeline, including Plas Morolwg, but with some information redacted. The other project with information redacted is Mid Wales Housing's Cylch Caron in Tregaron, which I understand has been scuppered by Cyngor Ceredigion getting into bed with Wales and West up on the windy heights of Plas Morolwg.
Note also on this first page that under the 'Tenure' heading all the other projects are listed as 'Social', but not Plas Morolwg, which is 'Neutral'. This I'm told means that it will either be private housing or mixed.
And yet, as I've explained in the main post, Wales and West is asking for Social Housing Grant to acquire the Plas Morolwg site. Yet we know a) Wales and West already owns the site and b) the Programme Delivery Plan now tells us W&W will not be building social housing.
So what the hell is going on here?
Scroll down to the third sheet (which I suspect is a continuation of the first) and you'll find other Wales and West projects with information redacted. In fact, there are five redactions for Wales and West, the two for Mid Wales Housing, but none for Tai Ceredigion which has the most entries on these sheets.
So why does Wales and West Housing get such preferential treatment from the 'Welsh' Government? I can understand the reasoning behind commercial confidentially, but when it's only applied to Wales and West it looks very much like favouritism. Or maybe hiding something?
P.S. I've also seen the Pembrokeshire Programme Delivery Plan, and there Wales and West has even more redactions. They may be connected with a development called Parrog Yard in Newport. Any information will be gratefully received and treated confidentially.

A GUEST POST FROM 'SISTER SLEDGE'
AUX BARRICADES!
While the brothers in Cardiff Bay were fighting over the ashes of Carl Sargeant and positioning to succeed Carwyn the Untrustworthy, no one noticed that another struggle was bubbling away in deepest Ceredigion.
It started around the time of the last County Council election in May 2017, with the first rumblings over proposals for a women-only shortlist, which might have seen sister Dinah Mulholland and others being considered ahead of Ceredigion's only Labour councillor, Hag Harris, who had served in both Liberal-Independent and Plaid coalition cabinets, building up a nice pension.
The experienced Harris succeeded in seeing off these early stirrings and secured his usual seat in the election, only to be shunned by the Plaid council leader this time round and left on the back benches. The council rumours appear to be that this was due to his opinions on the closure of Bodlondeb residential home; caught in a pincer movement between his previous role as cabinet member with responsibility for social services, which damned him in the eyes of the younger, Corbynite brothers and sisters who sought to exploit the home closure for crude political advantage.
Why would this Spartist superstar be interested in a care home in Aberystwyth? (click to enlarge)
After a lengthy public campaign over the closure of Bodlondeb, which saw the brothers and sisters exultant when Chavs author Owen Jones joined them on the streets of Aberystwyth to argue for public residential homes workers to be kept in a job no matter how much money was being lost, but the home still closed.
Though not before the (under siege) Plaid Cymru council leader was forced to turn to Labour's favourite housing association, Wales and West, and agree to them having a 60 bed extra care facility on the prime development site where once had stood Plas Morolwg. This site had been gifted to W&W by the Labour Welsh Government when local association Tai Cantref was deliberately shafted by their lenders and hung out to dry.
Outline planning permission was swiftly pushed through, as it became clearer that the fifteen-years-in-the-planning alternative extra care scheme in Tregaron was hitting the rocks. So, the future looked bright, with Wales and West Housing moving back into Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and north Pembrokeshire, backed by certain friends within Ceredigion County Council.
Pretty soon afterwards, plans for lots of flats in Lampeter emerged as well, with proposals to demolish the old Ffynnonbedr primary school right in the middle of Hag Harris's ward, backed with an allocation of Social Housing Grant from the Welsh Government, via the county council officer who likes to say "yes" to Wales and West.
You would think that Cllr Harris might have been pleased about this development – but no, alas, both he and other members of the Town Council were already aware of the lack of management of the existing Wales and West flats in the town, and the constant visits by the Police concerning drugs and damage to property. Could this be the Corbynista's revenge?
Lampeter also being the place of work of the Dinah Mulholland mentioned above, where she supports the special students who, having gained their university place to do Egyptology or religious studies, with E or below A level grades, still need that extra bit of support.
Sadly, the drop in the number of students achieving even those grades has meant a surplus of student accommodation, and therefore empty private sector rented accommodation in the town, leading to an increase in second and third generation LSD hippies moving out of their caravans in Silian and into the unlicensed HMOs in the town.
The experienced Cllr Harris has at least stalled the planning consent for the Wales and West additional flats, whilst his Corbynista sisters in the Constituency Labour Party post on the Ceredigion Labour Facebook Page about Corbyn's pledge to build 8000 new homes to take the homeless off the streets.
So, having given Wales and West a lift in Ceredigion, what next for the young revolutionaries? Well, social media is a young people's game, and Cllr Harris and his ilk are not known to frequent those channels.
Dinah and her Aberystwyth university comrades came up with the next idea around January 2018, with the creation of a (quite sinister looking) new Facebook page called Ceredigion Tenants. As you can see, the page has a clenched fist profile picture and other leftist imagery, such as "eating the rich". The intention is clear – to get down with the 'tenants' on Facebook, and encourage them to revolt!
More infantile Spartism (click to enlarge)
There have been encouraging posts about building more council housing (in a county that couldn't look after what it already had) and what to do with rogue landlords and how tenants should form tenant unions. Plenty of promoting the posts of Shelter Cymru, most of whose senior staff are active Labour Party supporters, and make a living out of taking landlords to Court on the back of generous legal aid. All good stuff, churned out from their university-paid desks.
The Corbynistas soon latched on to a local issue with Ceredigion-based Tai Ceredigion, who had the audacity to suggest that some of their tenants should comply with the terms of their tenancy agreements, and not keep dogs or cats in flats, or accumulate weeks worth of their faeces.
How dare they! Surely it is the right of every tenant to do what they like, to allow their dog to bite the neighbours or housing association staff, and to dump cat litter over the balcony onto the one below. This local issue has nicely coincided by a new policy initiative from the Corbyn side of the party to propose legislation to give every tenant the right to keep a pet.
A browse through the newly established Ceredigion Tenants Facebook page will show dozens of posts in support of the tenants, many comments urging tenants to visit the local Shelter Cymru advice worker, and to seek legal aid to fight this great injustice of requiring them to adhere to the tenancy agreements that they signed. Petitions have been "organized" (sic) and promoted by Daren Howe, the local expert in change.org petition promotion.
DAREN BRINGS MORE COBBLESTONES
Daren Howe: "Signed and shared several times, I have 3 large groups waiting to post this petition but it needs more detail and more bite, why is this happening?, who is it happening to?, what are the consequences if we don't win etc."
"3 large groups"! Where? Ceredigion? Chelmsford? Birmingham Central Constituency Labour Party?
Daren has now helped get the pet petition over the 2000 mark, by cross-posting to other Corbynista groups and animal rights activist networks – but with very few signatures from Ceredigion itself. Rumour has it that Daren himself has a bit of a history with a former council house he used to live in, before abandoning ship for a tenancy in Cardigan with those nice people at Wales and West.
Whilst it is clear who is behind the Ceredigion People's Assembly from cross-postings of the pet ban petition made by members of Ceredigion Labour and from Ceredigion Tenants Facebook page, the brothers and sisters have been reluctant to be up front about it.
However, in one of the postings by the administrator of Ceredigion Tenants, Dinah Mulholland, reveals herself as one of the sisters behind the initiative:
"Ceredigion Tenants I have given your names to Jess from ITV and Sian from BBC Wales. I suggested they make contact via this Facebook page. Hope that works. Let me know if not and I follow it up. Hope you are all OK. Dinah x"
"Ceredigion People", it says, but there may be no genuine Cardis involved! (click to enlarge)
Obviously you won't find many genuine Ceredigion people among the vegans and the green tea-drinking university sisters such as Dinah Mulholland, Jo Eastlake and Claire Risley.
Where next, eh? Maybe their new-found sister in Cardigan, Morvenna Dorita, will mount a takeover for Cardigan Town Council?
You heard it here first, folks, the revolution started with the comrades in Ceredigion.
JAC SAYS . . .
I am indebted to 'Sister Sledge' for this timely reminder of how the Labour Party extends its influence in the absence of a democratic mandate by using trade unions, campaign groups, charities, third sector bodies and, increasingly in Wales, housing associations.
Not forgetting how Labour activists exploit local issues such as the closure of the Bodlondeb care home in Aberystwyth and the pets ban in social housing flats. The sort of things Labour councils do everywhere but which only draw the ire of the comrades in areas that Labour doesn't control.

What's happening in Ceredigion though may take things a step further because the sudden flurry of activity among the comrades – and perhaps more particularly, the comradesses – is done not just to extend the influence of their party, for I suspect that the faux outrage over the closure of Bodlondeb and the pets ban may serve a bigger agenda.
'Sister Sledge' mentioned Wales and West Housing, which I've written about many times. This is a Cardiff-based housing association now spreading like a virus across Wales with the help of the 'Welsh' Labour Government. It recently built new offices in Ewloe, Flintshire.
In its desire to take over as much of Wales' social housing as possible and perhaps become the last – or the biggest – left standing after the inevitable reorganisation takes place Wales and West tries to gobble up everything in its path.
'Sister Sledge' made reference to Cantref, a housing association based in Newcastle Emlyn, which was undermined by the 'Welsh' Labour Government and then handed on a plate to Labour-controlled Wales and West. Cantref's former properties are now run from Cardiff, and Welsh – the working language of Cantref – is treated as an irritating irrelevancy by Wales and West.
Forget Carwyn's million Welsh speakers by 2050, the Cantref episode shows us 'Welsh' Labour's real attitudes towards the Welsh language.
A neighbour of Cantref's now being eyed by W&W, is Tai Ceredigion . . . 'But wait!' you exclaim, 'isn't Tai Ceredigion that wicked housing association that rips fluffy kittens from children's arms and smashes their little skulls with lump hammers (the kittens not the children)? Yes indeedy.
Are you beginning to get the picture? For those of you still having trouble, let Jac lead you by the hand . . .
Ceredigion county council had on its hands an extremely pale pachyderm in the form of Bodlondeb, a drain on the public purse that could no longer be justified. Sensing a chance to manipulate public opinion and use it to expand in Ceredigion both 'Welsh' Labour and Wales and West Housing swung into action.
Ceredigion People's Assembly was set up in August 2017, the foot-soldiers were organised and had a protest march on September 16th (Glyndŵr's Day). A further rally was organised on November 4th which was attended by the saintly Owen Jones.
From Ceredigion People's Alliance Facebook page
Result: Ceredigion council closes Bodlondeb but the bad publicity generated by Labour front organisation, Ceredigion People's Assembly, virtually blackmails the council into allowing Labour-controlled W&W to build a replacement facility on the Plas Morolwg site.
Emboldened by that victory, the next target is Tai Ceredigion, and we see the same foot-soldiers form another Labour front organisation, Ceredigion Tenants, whose Facebook page sprang into life on January 11, just one day after Tai Ceredigion sent its letters about pets to the tenants of the Penparcau flats.
If all goes according to plan the 'Welsh' Government will hand Tai Ceredigion and its assets over to Wales and West Housing, as it did with Tai Cantref. And despite being consistently rejected by the electors of Ceredigion the Labour Party will have secured for itself considerable power in the county.
This is clearly a subversion of the democratic process, but it's only what we should expect from Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party.
One great irony is that because those involved with Ceredigion People's Assembly, Ceredigion Tenants, and even the Labour Party, are English, what we see is a kind of hard left colonialism.
Which should remind us that when it comes to English colonialism in Wales there's no real difference between hard left and extreme right, though maybe the right is more honest about what it's doing.

World Cup: Senegal Back in Action, England on Brink of Qualification
in Best of Africa, Sports, World Buzz
How Africa June 24, 2018, 6:16 am
Senegal, who were the first African team to get a win at this year's World Cup play on Sunday against Japan who upset Colombia in their opening fixture, winning 2-1 against the team that beat them 4-1 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
In the other Group H fixture, Poland who lost 2-1 to Senegal, will take on Colombia who will be also be looking to bounce back from defeat.
England will play against Panama in a Group G fixture that could see the Three Lions qualify for the next round with a win.
We are not fearful of Senegal at all. We're much looking forward to the match, how we are going to beat them.
England vs Panama
England, who won their opening game against Tunisa 2-1, thanks to a Harry Kane double are expected to win comfortably aginst World Cup debutants Panama.
Panama lost the opening game, 3-0 to Belgium, who top Group G with six points having beaten Tunisia 5-2 on Saturday.
A win for England would confirm qualification for Gareth Southgate's team, as well as Belgium while Tunisia and Panama would be eliminated.
Japan vs Senegal
Senegal, who made an impressive debut to the World Cup in 2002, when they made a successful run to the quarter final, beating defending champions France in the process, are hoping to surpass that record.
Coached by the captian of that historic side, Aliou Cisse, the Lions of Teranga have a potent weapon in Liverpool's Sadio Mane, who togther with Egypt's Mohamed Salah and Brazil's Roberto Firino, had a record breaking season last season.
Japan's coach Akira Nishino believes that Mane might still pose a danger, even if he is marked with three players in Sunday's clash.
"It's possible to stop him, but he has an influence on the other players and that's what we are concerned about," Nishino said.
Nishino, appointed only in April, said he would probably stick to a similar starting lineup to the one used against Colombia.
"We are not fearful of Senegal at all," he said. "We're much looking forward to the match, how we are going to beat them, and I'd like to show you how tomorrow."
Poland vs Colombia
Poland are still "angry" about their shock defeat in the World Cup opener against Senegal and their rancour will propel them to victory against Colombia, coach Adam Nawalka said on Saturday.
The eighth-ranked Poles are desperate for a result in the Group H clash in Kazan on Sunday, having given up two goals from terrible defensive errors to lose 2-1 to the African side.
But Colombia could equally be angry, having lost their opening fixture.
Ten-man Colombia lost 2-1 to Japan in another first round shock but the South Americans could be bolstered by the return of danger man James Rodriguez to the starting side after the playmaker started on the bench against the Blue Samurai while recovering from a muscle injury.

John: Hello, I'm John Hilton, editor of the Cochrane Editorial unit. Corticosteroids are a widely used treatment for asthma and a recent addition to the collection of Cochrane Reviews on this condition examines the research that compared different ways of using them. Rebecca Normansell and Kayleigh Kew from the Population Health Research Institute at St George's in the University of London in the UK describe the findings of this May 2016 review in this Evidence Pod, starting with Rebecca.
Rebecca / Kayleigh: Corticosteroids, which are often just known as steroids, are commonly prescribed when people with asthma have an asthma attack, a flare-up of their symptoms. The drugs can be given as an injection but are usually given orally, in tablet form, and that's what we looked at in this review. The most commonly prescribed oral steroid is prednisolone, which is called prednisone in some parts of the world; but the tablets can be taken for varying lengths of time and at different doses.
Although we know that steroids are very effective for treating asthma attacks, we also know that many people experience unpleasant side effects, such as nausea, insomnia and changes in their mood. When taken frequently or for a long time they can also cause other more permanent changes such as thinning of the bones and skin and increased weight, and in children they may reduce growth.
We wanted to find out whether there was evidence about the dose or length of a course of oral steroids for asthma attacks that would ensure that people with asthma get better without experiencing too many side effects.
We looked for trials that had compared one dose or length of oral steroid course to another dose or duration in people who were having an asthma attack.
After our most recent search in April 2016, we'd found 18 studies that included approximately 2500 people with asthma, both children and adults.
However, some of the studies were quite old and did not use doses of steroids that are commonly used today. The studies ranged in size from the smallest, with just 15 people, to the largest, with 638; and the participants were followed for between seven days and six months. A variety of different steroid doses and course lengths had been compared, including higher versus lower doses of prednisolone, longer versus shorter courses of prednisolone or dexamethasone, and prednisolone versus dexamethasone. Dexamethasone is a different steroid that can usually be given for a shorter time because it stays in the body for longer.
The studies were mostly carried out in North America and the UK, although some had been done in Australia, Japan, Indonesia, India and Ireland. We judged most of the studies to be reasonably well conducted in terms of the methods they used, but in some studies it was not clearly explained how the trial organisers had decided which people would receive which dose of steroids, and in some studies, both participants and trial organisers knew which dose they were getting. Both these factors could have had an impact on the results.
We were not able to combine many of the results from the individual studies because of the differences between them. This has limited our confidence in the findings and two of the outcomes we were most interested in – being admitted to hospital and experiencing a serious side effect – happened so rarely that we could not be sure whether one dose or length of course was better than another, or whether they were the same. Researchers in the included studies also measured asthma symptoms in different ways, which added to our difficulties in combining results.
With these problems in mind, we have to conclude that the current evidence is not strong enough to reveal whether shorter or lower-dose courses of steroids work less well for asthma attacks than longer or higher-dose courses, or if longer or higher dose courses cause more side effects. Therefore, any changes to the way in which asthma attacks are currently managed with oral steroids would need to be supported by larger studies than have been conducted so far.

International fashion runways of New York, Milan and Paris, during previews for the 2016 season, the jeans, declined in skirts, jackets, pants and even suits, has won all its versatility. This tissue remains confirmed as one of the coolest clothes for spring-summer 2016. I wear even in total look and denim version will also be cherished jumpsuit and overalls! But not only. Even shoes or bags will find this a valuable ally for fabric be glamorous and chic!
Back to the seventies, skinny, jeggins or masculine cut: season sparks a passion jeans!
The jeans will re-popular our cabinets and to embellish our outfits even in the warmer season: a elephant's foot to be matched with sandals and maxi shirts for a return to the seventies, skinny to "prove" the results obtained after hours and hours of training and to highlight the silhouette or the distinctly male slitting to play on the contrast of style.
The jeans, this handy and overwhelming fabric, will conquer the hearts of all. Like adults and children because it lends itself to create and recreate, from time to time, different styles, from sporty chic at street style. Timeless, chic, comfortable and practical, ideal for an appointment "elegant" than for the day at the Office. Some examples we've drawn from the collection spring-summer Liu Jo, 2016.
If you love high waist models not too dire, opt for those with busted kneesthat guarantee that worn look that never hurts or you will be seduced by those faded or slightly different color or fabric applications. For a drink with your him, what about a Black or dark blue to match with Blazers from nuances in broad daylight and dark at night? But still. Legs large and slanted pockets: comfortable yet chic patterns, combined with blouses from fresh and light fabric and Cork sandals.
Very original are also ultra-skinny jeans jeggins: to highlight the silhouette. For the lovers of retro style, how about a preference for dark models, light and faded, tending to blue? The range of trousers in denim fabric does not end here. Very cool are also cuffed jeans by men's style , which can be combined with pointed heels and thin heel for a casual yet chic: the contrast between femininity and cutting "masculine" really like her. Attractive are also the jeans at the ankle combined with comfortable and colorful moccasins, to welcome the spring.
So far we have focused on new proposals (and confirmations) about the pants, but great protagonists of the hottest season of the year will also be the jumpsuits and the overalls (already popular in the hot summer 2015 and now reconfirmed), for a total denim look . The suits (jumpsuit) are a practical yet versatile garment: depending on the fabric and color, can be elegant or cute waitresses, sporting or soft and "flabby".
Try to match them up in court shoes or booties: the result is stunning! In addition to the jumpsuit, don't forget to buy overalls or to brush up what you have already reserved a corner of your wardrobe, certain that you would have worn more or at least for a while, because out-fashion: this garment will surprise us again, in different fabrics, from jeans to cotton, from colorful patterns and stained. In particular, walking through the downtown boutique, you cannot help but leave the suit-overalls (long or short) declined in denim: buckles and straps ready to wrap his back, jeans fabric and floral patterns and fanciful applied for a chic, casual, fresh, summery. And for rock style that rivals to her friends, matched the overalls to black leather jacket.
Available in denim jackets will also be combined with denim shorts or fresh and light fabrics and mini vests that suits to skinny jeans or with jeggins. The denim shirts can be combined with bell-shaped skirts, pleated or from colored floral patterns, while the lovers of total jeans, can opt for shirt and pencil skirt (declined both in this versatile fabric) or still can pspread on vest and flared jeans or skinny model. It also skirts in the style of the 1960s (with pockets and buttons on the front) to be matched with shirts from nuance clear or embroidered blouses.
And you, you love Accessories and denim? Don't forget to brush up on our blog to find out the latest trend of the new season!

From exclusion to inclusion; supporting Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators to keep children in mainstream education: a qualitative psychoanalytic research project
This paper draws on my doctoral research study based on consulting work with three primary school Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators (SENCos) that took place in 2008. The study examined the interactions that arose in the consultations with the SENCos and their staff. The findings that emerged from the application of Grounded Theory research methodology showed that the consultant, the SENCos and the children for whom they were responsible all felt on the edge of school life. SENCos and their staff were subject on a daily basis to powerful projections from children who were unable to tolerate difficult feelings and they were at risk of becoming identified with these feelings. The consultant in turn was the recipient of powerful projections from the SENCos. These complex dynamics of projective identification are examined in the study. The question of how SENCos and staff can better support children on the edge of exclusion with these unregulated feeling states is discussed. It is proposed that senior management teams and policy makers are essential in putting the SENCo role more at the centre of schools, both physically and in terms of how it is perceived. The need for access to a consultant who can help SENCos to understand and process extreme feelings is recommended as a way forward.

9 - Woken by Sally licking my face and hassling me at some ridiculously early hour. Pushed her away and tried to sleep some more. A while later Sally heard something and started barking - I shouted to her to 'shut the **** up!' Just then Sis2 was knocking on the garage door. Leaped up - she said she thought it was over. Grabbed some clothes and rushed inside to join Mum, Sis2 and Sis1 in Dads room. He was peaceful and quiet. He'd gone. Sis2 said she'd heard some different breathing on the baby monitor and had gone in to check and was there when he went at around 5:20am. She'd thought he'd gone around ten minutes earlier but he then started breathing again so she'd decided not to wake anyone because she wasn't sure and didn't want to wake us all unecessarily!(-/content removed post 19th April 03 /-) . . Sat for a while with him before heading back out to the garage for a bit of a cry and to call Uncle TJ and then to leave an ansaphone message for BB. . . Everyone needed some time so it was agreed we'd not call the doctor in until later. . . walked Sally down to Battery Gardens to get that done and out of the way. Ignored as best I could the stolen dumped car half on the pavement near the entrance to the gardens. Breezy and still dark except for the bright orange sea gulls all flying around reflecting the street lights! Back near M/Ds spotted a couple of frogs in the road, one on top of the other all mating. Relocated them to the pond which was already full of lots of others, all 'at it'! Life goes on. . . sat in with Dad for a while with Mum. She seemed OK. Took the opportunity to touch Dad for the last time and gently stroked his cooling head. She said something about me being the head of the family now!!! Absolute nonsense of course but ended up getting all tearful. Mum figured I needed some time alone with Dad and left me to cry for a while. Lots of thoughts. Wished I'd been able to be more - to have been able to make Dad proud of me, rather than end up some unemployed reclusive weirdo for whom life is nothing more than something to be endured and which seems ultimately absolutely pointless. At around 8 o'clock it was agreed that we'd had long enough and I should call the doctor. Went through the appropriate reception service and was then called back to confirm a doctor would be with us soon. The lady doctor was very matter of fact and just taking care of business. She quickly checked his heart and then joined us in the living room to fill out her release consent form. She'd fax it and we'd have to pick up the appropriate certificate from the doctors surgery some time tomorrow. Sis1 had already disconnected the syringe driver that was still whirring away, and put it out in the kitchen on a plate to collect any medication spillage - the doctor said to just remove the battery, so I did. She breezed through which funeral director we were going to use and then took it upon herself to call them on our behalf before handing the phone over to Mum. Apparently they'd be here in 45 minutes to collect the deceased and would then be in touch tomorrow to actually discuss the arrangements. Uncle TJ called in the middle of all this so I said we'd call him back. The doctor was just leaving and then returned to suggest we call the McMillan nurses and let them know, in case someone else needed the syringe driver! Called the nurse and it turned out to be the really nice one that had been there yesterday - she said she'd be right here. Within minutes she arrived and really did have a marvellously supportive and calming manner. She took all the bits and pieces away except for all Dads medication, which we'll have to return to the chemist/doctor (?) tomorrow for appropriate disposal. Sought Mums approval (she was phoning a very few friends and relatives) and then popped round to three of the neighbours to let them know Dad had gone, before it became obvious by funeral people arriving in the street. Mum took some time to sort out a set of Dads clothes and shoes for him to be dressed in, and wrapped them in a carrier with his false teeth, for the funeral guys to take. All sat with Dad. In no time at all a smart white van with blacked out rear windows pulled up outside with two appropriately smartly dressed men. They were very considerate and respectful. They recommended we wait in the other room and leave them to take care of Dad. We all said our last tearful goodbyes. I waited in the hallway with Sis1 as they wheeled in a stretcher and then closed the bedroom door. Lots of rustling as Dad was obviously being placed in the large black body bag. After only a short time the bedroom door opened and they were bringing him out. Bit of a shock at first as we saw the stretcher on it's bottom set of wheels in an upright position at the doorway! Of course it was the only practical way to get a heavy stretcher through the door. Seemed funny to have Dad strapped inside that bag , kinda stood up with us! He was soon through the door, back horizontal and out along the garden path. I rushed down and pushed the gate to and fro to make their exit easier, and then lifted up the tailgate of the van for them. Dad was slipped into the back of the van - next to someone else's body bag!! "Busy morning?" I 'joked'. "It's been a busy weekend!" they said. One of the men returned to the door to tell us where Dad was going and to confirm that they'd be in touch tomorrow. Dad was driven away. . touched base with Uncle TJ and left an ansaphone message saying what was occurring and that there was little to tell until tomorrow. . . a strange calm descended on us all. Not an unhappy calm. It was OK. It was all over. Nothing much could be done until tomorrow. . Mum started sorting stuff out, airing the room, cleaning all the bottles and commode and bits and pieces that would have to go back, and putting things through the washing machine. Business as usual! . . . windy and cold but turned out real sunny. Mum seemed 'happy' enough and content to 'do her things'. Sis1/2 and I decided to go get a breath of fresh air and go for a walk. said I'd maybe meet them at Battery Gardens and headed off with Sally on the long 'Pooh Lane' walk. VERY busy - everyone and their dogs seemed to be out walking through the woods. Not so nice. Met up with Sis1/2 and sat in one of the World War 2 pill boxes out of the wind for a while. Walked along and spotted a seal looking back up at us from the water. Sat here and there chatting a little before heading back. . . all grabbed a small bite to eat. Difficulty with my two tooth parts wobbling around in my gum!!!! Very tired. . . retired to the garage to PC this. Loads and loads of hassle with the bloody useless laptop. Not enough memory to do all that I need to do to edit and attempt to upload my journal, which strangely I REALLY wanted to do!!!???? Ended up having a crash course in HTML editing using wordpad! Ugh! Got there in the end. Popped back inside and confirmed with Mum it was OK (well - reluctantly - ish!) if I disconnected the phone and plugged the laptop in, "just to check my e-mails"!! Walked on eggshells with Mum supervising the unplugging and plugging back in!! Made her pick up the phone to hear the dial tone, just to prove to her I HADN'T broken the phone line as she suspected I may. She then went on to tell me how Dad had once temporarily disconnected the phone only for it to then dial out OK but not ring for incoming calls!! That was the time the police had called at their door wondering if they were OK. Sis2 had been trying to call and had repeatedly got no answer for ages - right around the time that the nutcase she'd split up with who'd threatened to kill her had also threatened to fly over and kill Mum and Dad!! She'd got SO worried that she eventually somehow managed to get the police to check they were OK. Thankfully right then a relative called enquiring about funeral dates which proved I hadn't brought down the entire UK phone system! . . .Mum had a bit of a crisis at some point during the day when she discovered the cold water bath tap had started to drip quite badly, and suggested that 'someone' had turned it off too harshly! She'd have to get a plumber in! I explained it was just one of those things - "Shi -um-er- stuff happens!" and it was probably just a real simple matter of replacing the washer, which I'm sure Dad had a supply of in the garage. It would have to wait cause Mum couldn't possibly stop washing things to turn the water off!. . . everyone still seemed to be in that strange relieved, 'a weight has been lifted' mood with considerable joking and laughter as Sis1 told amusing tales from where she works. Could still hear the laughter through the walls as I lay down in the garage for some sleep. . .woken by Sally around 6:15pm . . . A couple of extraordinarily nicely worded cards from neighbours had already been popped through the door. . Mum prepared a meal of salad and the rest of Sis1's meals on wheels. All sat and ate and chatted. . . walked. The stolen dumped car had been removed. Cold starry moonlit night. Sat on seats with cigarettes for quite a while as Sally chased around. Even chased what must have been a low swooping owl!!! . . . discovered the washing machine stopped in mid program showing an error code - again! The second time in a couple of days - Mum had begun to obsess that it was going wrong. When I read through the manual the other day I suspected it was because Mum had actually forgotten to turn the water supply tap ON, but I wasn't sure because she'd ignored my pleas to let me have a look and had insisted on resetting everything and starting again! Immediately confirmed in her absence (she was in the other room on the phone chatting to her invaluable supportive lifelong friend ML) that she HAD forgotten to turn on the water supply to the machine. Thank goodness. Persuaded her into the kitchen and showed her the evidence I'd found in the hope it would put her mind at ease about the reliability of the machine!. . .found an ansaphone message on my mobile! Must have slept through it ringing!! I'd have been NO good at all at monitoring baby alarms in my sleep like Sis2 has done for days! Nice message from Coz1 (let Mum listen to it) - looks like he WILL be representing Uncle TJ at the funeral. Will call him once there is news of a date. . . after much persuading and debating, Mum (having washed everything all day and found no signs of ANY soiling, so thorough was her and Sis2's care of Dad) decided that she WOULD sleep in her bed in her bedroom tonight thus allowing Sis1 to sleep comfortably on the sofa rather than on the floor of Sis2's room. Mum had been adamant that she would throw away the old double bed Dad had died in and would continue to sleep on the sofa for the next few weeks, until she could buy a new one! Completely unnecessary from a purely practical point of view I thought . . . Sis2 was asleep quite early. I vacated the living room around 10:15pm and left Sis1 making ready for sleep on the sofa. Mum was still in good humour, in the kitchen with the washing machine running, and washing up all the dishes from tea. I offered, knowing that she would absolutely insist that I did NOT help with anything! Left her to it and headed for the garage . . . PCd till late. Dunno what is REALLY going on in Mums mind. Is she REALLY ok or just in denial - with some huge 'crash' waiting in the wings the minute she is left here alone when we all head home after the funeral? Sis2 seems to be having the hardest time with it all at the moment. I seem to be OK - I'll have my moments - just up tight about having to go through all the funeral stuff right now. Who can tell? "It's a blooming nuisance all this dyeing!" . . My father died this day.

Chapter 1: Why a calorie is not a calorie
Shangri-La? Odd name for a diet. Name of a spa, maybe. I chose it partly because Shangri-La, James Hilton's fictional Himalayan community, was a place of great peace and tranquility; and this diet puts people at peace with food. Within days after starting it, all sorts of food-related struggles (irresistible cravings, too many food-related thoughts, uncontrollable night eating) usually go away. Another reason for the name was that Shangri-La was meant to be a near-perfect place and — not to boast — this is a diet with many advantages. It is simple, powerful, and does not require deprivation. It's almost as easy as taking a pill, and a hundred times safer and less expensive. I also liked the idea of naming a diet after an imaginary place. Imaginary places are often full of novelty and hope — think Alice in Wonderland or Harry Potter. No harm in borrowing some of that.
Writing this book was easier than I had expected, partly because of blog postings about the diet that appeared while I was writing it. Many of them expressed pleasure and amazement. "Ridiculously easy. And cheap. And effective. What hath God wrought?" wrote one person trying the diet. "I can hardly believe it myself," wrote someone else in response to skepticism — someone for whom the diet was working. It was a little like being able to see the future: A glimpse of how the diet would be received.
The funny thing is that I too have some trouble believing it — and I discovered it. Five years ago. Not long enough for my could-this-really-be? reaction to entirely fade away. Unlike everyone else who has this reaction, however, I can explain how such a strange diet came to be. My secret weapon, as it were, is that I combined three methods of investigation that had not been combined before. One was my scientific training, which made it easy for me to understand the relevant research literature. Another method I used was self-experimentation. I myself wanted to lose weight and tried many ways of doing so. The third method was to play reporter: To phone weight-control experts and ask them to explain their research. (I learned to do this when I wrote for Spy magazine.) By themselves, none of these methods is unusual, but they are rarely if ever combined. For example, millions of people try various ways of losing weight, but few obesity researchers do so (or at least don't mention it) — self-experimentation is considered disreputable. Because I studied weight loss in a new way, it is more understandable that I reached surprising conclusions.
After a talk by a young scientist, during the question period, Niels Bohr, the Danish physicist, said to him, "We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct." That was a rather flashy way of putting it. In an essay in Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge, Bohr was more sober: "The common aim of all science," he wrote, is "the gradual removal of prejudices." It was another way of saying the same thing: The truth (that is, good science) may appear crazy at first, because it does not fit our accepted views of how things work.
Everyone will agree that the Shangri-La diet contradicts accepted views about how to lose weight. In the 1980s, the mantra was eat less fat. Consumers were offered low-fat pizza, low-fat cookies, low-fat everything. The Shangri-La diet says you can lose weight by consuming more fat (in the form of flavorless oils). In the 1990s, the mantra became eat fewer carbs. The Shangri-La diet says you can lose weight by consuming more sugar, the worst carb of all. If Niels Bohr wanted to lose weight, I like to think he would try it.
One of the guys said to the other, "What I don't understand is how a girl can eat a one-pound box of candy and gain 10 pounds." — The Daily Californian
The novelist Vladimir Nabokov coined the term doughnut truth to mean "only the truth, and the whole truth, with a hole in the truth." This is a good description of what we have been told about weight loss by experts. What they've said isn't wrong, exactly, but it is seriously incomplete — and the missing information is very important if you want to lose weight easily and comfortably. The Shangri-La diet allows you to do that because it's based on the whole truth — including the previously left-out "hole.—
