Desire and Satisfaction
Jan Toorop (1858-1928)
Pastel on two sheets of beige paper glued to cardboard

Full entry
Le Désir et l'Assouvissement [Desire and Satisfaction]
Jan Toorop, born in Java in 1858 when it was still a Dutch colony, soon came to Europe and studied at the Amsterdam Academy from 1881 before continuing his studies in Brussels, Paris and London. Receptive to the many aesthetic currents then running through Europe, he soon gave up Naturalism for Neo-Impressionism, before devoting a few short years to Symbolism.
1893, the year of this astonishing pastel, which was designed as a project for a stained-glass window, was the peak of his participation in the Symbolist movement.
The iconography, which originally continued over the frame, is highly complex: the female face with wide-open eyes represents Desire, who is praying that the still closed lily might receive the white dew of the rain falling from the clouds above her.
Behind the cross, seen from the back, which leaves only a part of Christ's crown of thorns visible, another face seen from the side with half-closed eyes is that of Satisfaction. The figure is holding a half-open lily into which the fertilising spiritual dew has already fallen, releasing its perfume. The linear environment is made up of a band of parallel lines winding through the composition; they represent sounds coming from the bell on the right which travel through the world supporting faith, a reminder, as Toroop said, of "the pure mystical periods of yesteryear".
In 1911, the artist gave this echo of complex mysticism, highly critical of contemporary society, to Maurice Denis, a painter and poet with a clear, direct faith, in exchange for a Mother and Child now in the Kröller-Müller museum, Otterlo, in the Netherlands.

Going Once . . . Going Twice
Auctions designed to recoup the ill-gotten gains of executives-gone-bad offer souvenirs from low points in the history of American finance.
CFO MagazineHuman Capital & CareersPeople
Joseph McCafferty
What would you bid for a piece of scandalous corporate history? Or rather, for many pieces?
In July, auctioneers in Lubbock, Tex., brought down the gavel on a range of assets belonging to the estate of Jonathan "Jody" Nelson, former CFO of Patterson-UTI Energy. In April, Nelson pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $77 million from his employer. (He is currently awaiting sentencing.)
"We consider it the ultimate toy collection," says Robert Love, of the auction house Ritchie Bros. The playthings included three Cessna aircraft, a Hughes helicopter, a 1954 Corvette, a Boston Red Sox jersey autographed by the 2004 World Series team, and a host of other sports memorabilia, boats, and motor craft. When it was over, the items took in more than $7 million, which will be paid back to the company.
It was the latest in a string of auctions designed to recoup some of the ill-gotten gains of executives and their companies. The rotating "E" that once adorned Enron's downtown Houston headquarters-known as the "Disco E"-sold at auction in December 2002 for $33,000.
The biggest haul for a single fraud-related item remains the $5.1 million paid for a Monet in May at Sotheby's. The painting, Pres Monte Carlo, once graced the lavish digs of former Tyco International CEO Dennis Kozlowski, sentenced to a maximum of 25 years for his role in the company's accounting scandal.
Fraud memorabilia is a booming market. WorldCom stock certificates carrying the names of Bernard Ebbers and Scott Sullivan now sell for $139.95-more than twice the value the shares traded for when they hit a high of $64 in June 1999-on Scropophily.com, an online seller of rare documents.—Joseph McCafferty

The Menu Ending Explained
Halloween Kills' Jamie Lee Curtis Reveals Her Most Memorable Moment From Shooting The Blumhouse Sequel
By Katherine Webb
It's been more than 40 years since John Carpenter's Halloween arrived and Michael Myers became a household name. In that time, Jamie Lee Curtis has gone on to become a screen legend. So returning to play Laurie Strode again in Blumhouse's reboot of the franchise has led to many unforgettable moments for the actress -- including one from the set of Halloween Kills.
One of the cool things about David Gordon Green's Halloween film series is that it feels like he and his team are drawing from the essence of the original movie. That's meant doing some reconnecting with Laurie Strode and realistically examining what her life might be like today. It also means reincorporating some old motifs and characters. Jamie Lee Curtis told The Hollywood Reporter that one moment from making Halloween Kills stands out to her the most:
When I saw Kyle Richards and Nancy Stephens [from the original Halloween], I realized the passage of time and how long we've all been a part of this story. There was a moment where I ran into both of them early on. And it was very emotional because Kyle Richards was little Lindsey, a little girl I'm babysitting in [Halloween]. And she's now a full-grown woman, living a very wonderful life. The passage of time was extraordinary. In this film, we are telling more of the story of Laurie Strode and Lindsay and Marion, Nancy's character, and that we're all survivors. And it was a great moment of survival and pride.
It sounds like reuniting with her Halloween castmates was a bit of a surreal moment for Curtis, and understandably so. The original film came out in 1978, and it changed the trajectory of her career. Since Laurie was one of a very few characters to make it out alive, there haven't been too many opportunities for her to share the screen with her castmates again.
In Halloween Kills, Kyle Richards will reprise her role as Lindsay Wallace, one of the children Laurie babysat the night Michael Myers first came for her -- it's her first appearance in the horror franchise since the original Halloween. While Nancy Stephens appeared in Halloween II and Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, this is the first time her character, Marion Chambers, will appear in David Gordon Green's Halloween franchise.
It's not totally clear yet how prominently the returning cast members' characters will feature in Halloween Kills. The film's first trailer gave us a quick glimpse of Lindsay and Marion, both of whom seem to be fighting to stay alive as Michael Myers continues his reign of terror.
Because we don't know their fates yet, it's hard to say whether either actress will join Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween Ends, the third installment of Green's series. We do know it will be thrilling to see all three characters on screen again. Halloween Kills hits theaters on October 15.

Just for fun, I'm making a post about taking photographs and including some of the sites that I have some photographs on, including the silly site of my cellular phone..
Some of my photographs are in one of my personal scrapbooks… tiny photographs marking time in a life .. I love the owl picture …he's so sweet . I took that close up in Long Island, NY (USA). The September 11th memorial is in Brooklyn, New York in Coney Island (USA) , and the field photograph is taken at the Pow-wow in queens, NY (USA) .
The three photographs ( white frames) hanging (kind of a blue theme but I called this "windows" . In this exhibit, the first is taken in Sleepy Hollow, NY and the next 2 photos I took in Staten Island, New York (USA) . The other photos on the wall are from other photographers.
And yes, of course, I like to do different things when I take pictures of the moon. This is the original picture – not photoshopped. The hook was really there in the picture. It is a branch that is hanging down from a tree that is in my neighborhood.
I like to make posters with my photographs, like this one below. I took this one in quite a weak moment. Sometimes taking photographs and making posters helps me to regain strength, to put more healing into my space of mind. Sometimes taking photographs and making them into posters gives my voice a louder sound – at least, to me.
Yes, Virginia, I have much to say but I refrain. My picture words are so much more effective than most of my mechanical typewritten words.
well, I began thinking that I'd post some of my sites here but , life happens, that's for another time , meanwhile, I'll leave this here for a bit and be back some other time.
If, that's if, you have a favorite photo here in this entry, tell me which one it is. ..
I have my own favorites but I like hearing your opinion..

Westfield Stratford to close to non-Olympic attendees
Comment: Retailers should do more to capitalise on the Olympics
Comment: Closing Westfield to the public is Olympic folly
TFL urged to encourage visitors to London's West End as Olympics hits footfall
West End retailers suffer as Olympics puts off shoppers
Retailers slash prices of Olympic souvenirs by up to 80%
By Jamie Zuppinger2012-08-03T11:33:00+01:00
Bonkers, barmy, brilliant and British: the opening ceremony is over, the greatest show on earth has begun and the world is watching.
How as retailers are we capitalising on the Olympic Games and the resultant flood of visitors and the general feel-good factor? To me, it seems that we are not.
Of seven retailers advertising in last Friday's London Evening Standard not one referred to anything other than money off, which to me is bonkers and barmy.
I know that the 'brand Stasi' is out in force to prevent ambush marketing and make sure that only the brands that have paid fortunes to be sponsors of the Games are protected, but nevertheless I get the impression that the majority of retail marketing departments have accepted this and rolled over and become compliant.
Come on marketeers, you can do better than this. In fact, in this climate you need to do better than this. Stick your necks out, be creative, have fun and have a go.
I am in mortal danger for writing these heretic words, because while penning this I can see a red laser dot from a Locog brand Stasi sniper dancing around my office looking for a clear shot at me.
As a result of this article, I will probably be arrested, put into a Next white and gold Team GB tracksuit and be on a rendition flight to Atlanta (home of Coca-Cola) quicker than you can say Pepsi-Cola.
You are all missing the boat and need to become more agile and nimble, engage the customer, make them laugh and raise your brand awareness.
Where there is a will, there is a way, as demonstrated so ably by Specsavers, which, the day after the Korean flag mix-up at the football, had a brilliantly funny ad showing the two Korean flags with the well-known tag line underneath "Should have gone to Specsavers", and Paddy Power, proud sponsors of the largest athletics event in London (ahem London, France, that is) this year. Just do it. Oops, there I go again.

Some intense vocals and riffs from this track on the new Oathbreaker album, Mælstrøm. It's out now on Deathwish.
These guys have a pretty solid take on sludge metal. I'm not gonna sit here and act like it's the most thrilling sludge to come out in years, but these guys have a lotta promise, ya know? Their production is heavy as hell, they know a decent riff when they hear one, and the lead vocalist has a high-pitched rasp that rivals that of Weedeater frontman Dave "Dixie" Collins. She's definitely the highlight of this track.

pteg visits…Midland Metro
Over the coming year, members of the pteg Support Unit team will be getting out and about to visit and learn from key transport projects and organisations. First up, Matt Brunt, Assistant Director visits Midland Metro in Birmingham.
The current network runs between Wolverhampton and Snow Hill on the edge of Birmingham City Centre
Before today's trip, I had travelled on Midland Metro once, but for a short trip and in the middle of winter. This time I was accompanied on my journey by the Programme Director, Paul Griffiths, and Mark Ashmore, Metro Health and Safety Manager from Centro.
The current line, running from Snow Hill station on the edge of Birmingham city centre through to Wolverhampton, is unobstrusive and echoes the branch-line feel that the route presumably took over when it first opened in 1999.
Well used and well run, it has recovered from some early teething problems – not least of which the somewhat novel approach to vehicle assembly used by the suppliers of the first fleet, where trams were built in a series of separate Italian factories, resulting in sixteen slightly differently configured vehicles.
The next phase of the system's development will see trams enter the heart of Birmingham city centre
At present, the Midland Metro is perhaps one of the lesser known tram systems in the UK. However, this will change with the implementation of the second phase of its development. A £128m scheme will see the extension of the tramline onto the streets of central Birmingham, penetrating into the heart of the city, as well as a new fleet of trams and an extended depot facility. Final funding approval has now been given and plans are moving towards implementation over the next few years, with the city centre extension and full new tram fleet due in service from 2015.
Trams will serve a transformed New Street Station
The plans for the city centre route are impressive. Dovetailing with the New Street Gateway project (which sees New Street Station undergoing a £600 million transformation) the trams will bring a very different feel to the city centre. The route from the new station entrance will run along Corporation Street (one of the main shopping streets in the city) and then join up with the line at Snow Hill, making a huge impact on the area and bringing the 'sparks effect' to the centre of Birmingham. The Snow Hill tram stop itself is being moved to bring the trams 'up' to street level and run parallel to the nearby high quality office development.
Looking forward, thoughts are already turning to how the system can link to the proposed High Speed 2 station at Curzon St, and be extended in the other direction towards the civic quarter, conference venues and development at Brindley Place. A flythrough of the route can be seen here:
It is clear that the expanded Midland Metro will dramatically shift the visibility of the system and the profile it has. Moving 'on-street' into the city centre is certainly not without its challenges, but hopefully these developments will see Midland Metro come into its own.

Relaxing, snoozing, reading a book, enjoying a glass of wine by the fire….but that's just my husband. Me, I am on a train bound for Italy with the three children. As I write (after four and a half hours) they have finally lost the plot and are running up and down the train irritating everyone. It reminds me of the story of a friend of mine travelling up to the Lake District with her two children when they were aged four and five.
Actually they have been very good. We have played 'Operation' (Olivia was Dr McDreamy) about 100 times, Leo has watched Spiderman III (thanks Father Christmas) and we have gone through every interactive Christmas card I was sent this year.
We arrive in Nice in half an hour and then we have a two-hour wait before the night train to Rome. I am planning to take the children to an Asian fast food place I went to last time. There is no menu, all the food is laid out in a glass counter, everything from red Thai chicken curry to stir-fried rice and other unidentifiable dishes. So hopefully they will spend about an hour deciding what to eat and then we can get on our sleeper. I am still trying to decide which child is least likely to fall out of the top bunk.
My mother is meeting us at the station in Rome and then it's back to her new house in the mountains and pasta and being looked after for ten days.
I am planning to take the children into central Rome, but maybe one at a time. "Are there any shops there?" was Olivia's first question. I obviously need to introduce her to the joys of eating ice-cream in Piazza Navona, gazing at the Pantheon and walking up the Spanish Steps. And then maybe we'll fit in some shopping.

The reports surrounding Michael's death don't directly suggest that his health ultimately deteriorated due to excess drugs, and alcohol. However, it's important to recognize these toxins can be destructive to the liver, the body's main detoxifying organ.
As alcohol floods the system, the liver starts to form abnormal deposits of fat. This causes inflammation and scarring; eventually the healthy liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue. That's when your liver stops working and you find yourself on a transplant list.
But alcohol isn't the only factor — there are more common habits that may lead to the same disease.
Another type of liver disease is emerging, called Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, or NAFLD. It's caused by being overweight or obese and consumption of too much sugar and processed carbohydrates, along with a sedentary lifestyle and components associated with metabolic syndrome. It's quickly becoming the number one disease on the liver transplant list.
This fatty liver disease affects 33 percent of the U.S. population, including 6 million children. In fact, it's the number one liver condition in children.
NAFLD is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and recent evidence shows that many patients with it are more likely to end up dying from the heart failure before they do liver disease.
The scariest part: If you have it, you probably don't know it.
NAFLD does not produce the telltale symptoms that cardiovascular disease presents. There are no chest pains to tip you off that your organ is in trouble. The good news, though, is that it's not difficult to diagnose and is reversal is possible.
What can you do today to start a liver-friendly lifestyle?
Reduce your overall sugar intake, from the common sources like candy to the less common like crackers or salad dressing.
Eat more plants that are brightly hued with shades of green, red, orange, and purple.
Increase your consumption of omega 3 fatty acids from wild fish, chia and flax seeds, and walnuts.
Finally, start moving. Get off the couch, and aim for 10,000 steps a day.
All have been associated with a reduced risk of development or NAFLD. In the meantime, if you feel you are at risk, have a discussion with your physician or dietitian and start giving the one organ you think least about a lot more attention.

Featuring new FDA guidance on diversity and inclusion in clinical trials, further calls for COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial transparency, how the UN is promoting open science, discussions on the evolving ecosystem of scientific publishing and two recent analyses of predatory journal watch lists.
Encouraging diversity in clinical trials via US Food & Drug Administration
The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has issued guidance in the USA on how to improve the diversity of clinical trial participants. "Diseases don't discriminate" so it's vital that clinical trial populations reflect the demographics of the people whose health they aim to improve. The new FDA guidance outlines how to expand trial eligibility criteria and maximize enrolment strategies to promote the inclusion of under-represented populations.
Enhancing transparency in COVID-19 vaccine trials via STAT News
Pfizer's encouraging update this week on its experimental COVID-19 vaccine candidate, which achieved an estimated 90% efficacy in its phase 3 study, has been making waves in mainstream news around the globe. However, a recent Pew survey shows that the general public in the USA has serious concerns regarding the trustworthiness of pharma and vaccines. In light of this, scientists and decision makers continue to stress that the most important thing we as pharma can do to build public trust, ensure scientific integrity and depoliticize science is to maintain high levels of transparency relating to clinical trial processes – which vaccine developers have committed to in a multi-signatory pledge previously covered in the Open Pharma digest here and here.
"No one is safe until everyone is safe": open science and the COVID-19 vaccine race via UN News
Building upon the United Nations' (UN's) multi-agency appeal for continuing open science beyond COVID-19, UN News has outlined how practising open science principles can aid the global vaccine race by answering the following questions.
Why is open science important?
Why is it needed now?
What is the impact of open science on the pandemic?
What is the UN doing to promote open science?
Balancing the publishing ecosystem with the pandemic via Copyright Clearance Center
The evolving landscape of scientific publishing in response to the pandemic has been a common point of discussion as the industry adapts to and envisions a future beyond 2020. Here, Jennifer Goodrich, Director of Product Management at Copyright Clearance Center, contributes to the conversation, citing the knock-on financial effect of the pandemic on cancer research charities as an example of the rapidly changing research ecosystem.
Access vs. Predator via The Publication Plan
Various watch lists and directories exist to identify and index predatory journals, notably Beall's list and Cabell's list. Similarly, 'safe lists' also exist to catalogue journals with legitimate and ethical publishing practices. A recent analysis of both types of lists found that watch lists rarely provide the parameters they use to define predatory journals, whereas safe lists are typically more transparent about their criteria and often engender less controversy than their naming-and-shaming counterparts.
Krawczyk and Kulzcycki 2020: incredible predators via The Journal of Academic Librarianship
Part of the aforementioned controversy associated with predatory journal watch lists is the way in which some lists sometimes fail to distinguish open access journals from true predatory journals. This literature review of 280 publications that define predatory journals found many common themes stemming from the original Beall's list that appear to overgeneralize the flaws in some open access journals, inappropriately conflating them with the unethical publishing practices of predatory journals.
We at Open Pharma would like to continue to encourage all our readers to look after themselves and their community and to continue to follow advice from their country's government and health organizations.

Indigenous Circumpolar Women's Gathering
November 2014 | Somba K'e, Denendeh
The Gathering connected a diverse cross section of current and emerging Indigenous women leaders to explore themes including leadership, arts and culture, decolonization and education. The Gathering was a powerful success, achieving its objectives of linking almost 100 current and emerging Indigenous women leaders from the Northwest Territories, Yukon, Nunavut, and Nunavik, creating momentum for ongoing engagement, provoking dialogue around powerful themes and ideas, and galvanizing Indigenous women in a context of solidarity, progress and meaningful change.


Often referred to as the Olympics of vocational technical education, SkillsUSA events allow Valley Tech students to compete alongside some of the state's finest students in hands-on technical exams designed and judged by industry leaders and experts. The 2016 series kicked off for Valley Tech on March 9, 2016, when Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School hosted the SkillsUSA Massachusetts District V Leadership Conference. Competing against nearly 800 vocational technical students from seven schools, Valley Tech students swept 13 categories, including Additive Manufacturing, Cabinetmaking, Carpentry, Commercial Baking, Culinary Arts, Diesel Equipment Technology, Medical Terminology (Post-Secondary), Photography, Plumbing, Restaurant Service, Robotics & Automation Tech, Technical Computer Applications, and Welding.
"Massachusetts has a proud track record as one of the country's top performing states at the SkillsUSA national championships," Fitzpatrick said. "Valley Tech students are proud to contribute to their state's storied success."


BUT – I can feel the big change in performance. JQuery is slower in about half a second – second. I can feel the difference while using AJAX things that need to be updated.
If you were using AJAX to send a request to the server, then perhaps the server was being used a bit more and the request on the server's end simply took a bit longer to execute.
I suspect there is something else going on that's throwing you off.
As @ben said, jQuery is pretty quick, but has it's own pitfalls that come with the simple syntax. If one of my scripts is running slower than expected, there are a few things I tend to look for.
2) loops – it's amazing how quickly nested loops can add up, especially when you're looking for particular attributes or an element as discussed above. The .each() method is powerful and useful, but if you're using it too much it can really take some time. Three nested loops with only 10 elements a piece has the chance to loop 1000 times, the same loops with only 5 more elements in each takes more than 3 times as long.
3) DOM manipulation is usually the most time and processor intensive aspect of a script. (so creating, inserting, etc)... If I remember correctly, innerHTML is still the quickest way to get things done. So for simple things, and when it's practical, have your server side piece send formatted html. When that's not possible, try to create your snippet outside of the document and then drop it in as one piece. So rather than inserting a div, then inserting a list, then inserting the list items, do all of the creation on a snippet outside the document and insert it as a single unit. This makes it so the browser isn't trying to render each piece as it's dropped in. See if it makes a difference.
Different browsers still have different points they hang up on, so you may want to try a few to narrow down what's causing the delay you're seeing. Usually for me it's one of the above.
When all else fails, google "optimizing jQuery" and someone has probably run into the problem you're having before.

Hi, everyone. I have been making plans for September using the Bookworm Stickers and Embellishments. It's hard to believe that school starts in just a few weeks and I am starting to stress, just a little… My nights are about to get even crazier, not that isn't already crazy. As I am typing this post, I am wondering if I'll have any time to scrap in the fall with homework, soccer games, and school events. I guess I'll enjoy it while it last.
The stickers in this collection are adorable so naturally, for my planner, I used several stickers with a few die cuts. I used my Black Dual-Tip Pen to record my plans for the month of September.
Typically the Labor Day weekend here in the states means that summer is coming to an abrupt end. It means floating in the pool one last time, or splashing in the lake. It means soaking up as much sun as you possibly can before the long winter hits.
Make sure that you remember to document all the summer's memories–before it is gone. Did you take a vacation to the ocean? Or maybe just a weekend away to the cabin? Whatever it was, make sure you have it in your scrapbooks for years to come!
Hi everyone. I must admit, I have a thing for little pouches and when I first saw this cute little pouch, I knew I had to have it. And I did not want it for the pens. I wanted it for the pouch since my favorite color is blue.
Inspiration hit me today with my scraps from The Bookworm Collection.

Getting back to school is not my favourite time of year as I love having the children around the house without the busy school schedules, but once they are back we work into the schedule quickly. I do love taking back to school photos though!
I few years ago I started taking a photo on the first day of school and the last day of school on the front step to show the difference in the children throughout their school year. They always mature quite a bit through the school year, but the biggest difference is their growth. I love the Bookworm digital kit with all of the school related embellishments, but what I really love is the colours as they are muted primary colours.
As we prepare to kick-off another school year I came to the realization that I still need to scrapbook my daughter's first day of school photos from last year! Once I pulled out the photos that I wanted to include I went through my papers to see which collection would coordinate best. To my surprise, Woodland Whimsy was the winner! With a mix of pinks, oranges, and greens it worked perfectly with the photos I had taken.
This was one of those layouts that came together magically. Once I pulled out the papers I wanted to use I took a peek at the embellishment pack and decided that it would be super cute to use the embellishment with a four on it (which was intended for monthly baby photos — but also works beautifully to highlight my daughter's age in the photos!). There is also an embellishment that says, "Shine like the Stars" which I thought worked perfectly as a title for my layout.
Hi everybody. A week ago, I finally got the chance to meet up with my Best Friend Mischelle for dinner and a movie. We've been friends for over twenty years! I met Mischelle when I was a senior in high school. She's 10 years older than me, but the age difference never mattered… as you can see. Twenty years later we still make fun of each other and laugh at ourselves. We often say, what happen to us? We are getting old!
I love the photo of us together. We barely had any make-up on, but we didn't let that bother us. We always take photos when we are together. It's all about the moment.
Hello everybody! Summer is starting to wind down a bit in my household. We have been spending less time at the beach and more time gathering things needed for the new school year, new clothes, shoes etc. Soon, soccer practice will begin and nights fighting with Edward to do his homework at the kitchen table will surely drive me a little crazy, but I am looking forward to it!
Last week, I managed to pull Edward off his computer so we could spend the day at the beach. It was during the week which was great because it was just the two of us. The weather was perfect and Edward was perfectly content and relaxed, playing in the sand. I love watching him enjoy the simpler things in life. I try to take lots of photos to savor the moments I love best.
Why is it that summer comes and goes SO FAST?
One of my all time favorite things about summer is enjoying a nice big slice of watermelon! It just speaks SUMMER! And, every single child loves to indulge in it as well. So, before the summer ends, we had to make sure to capture these precious moments.


Imagine Riding a Horse Through An Oven. For 7 Hours.
Sebastian is getting to know the signs of a pending NATRC ride: a bath with soap at 9 in the morning, silly looking braids for the forelock and tail, much awkward maneuvering of the truck and trailer around the paddock in order to get a hose to reach the water tank, etc. During this prep day I also convinced B to take a short work break to install the latest bit of awesome camping gear I have acquired. After the last ride I was talking up the overhead ties that lots of folks use to secure their ponies to the trailer. They allow the horse much more room to move and make them a little less likely to be tangled up with the trailer as they eat or lie down. After running through the pending holidays and realizing that nothing was coming up soon to use as an excuse to get me one of these things, B said "Hey, I want a HiTie for Father's Day!" The man has not only been studying his Husband Handbook, he has added a few new pages. Turns out "short" is not the length of time needed to drill a set of two perfectly spaced, level holes through 3 layers of steel, but we got it done and it was worth it. Well, it was worth it to me and Sebastian (sheepish grin).
My dear friend Jill went early to the Round Valley camp site and saved us the exact same spot we had last year, including the exact same inconveniently placed bush that served as a marker of my poor horse trailer backing skills once again.
Here is Bastian enjoying the relative freedom of his fabulous HiTie. Yes, that's the bush and its friend making bunny ears on the trailer.
Jill's horse Pokani has the TieRite model.
All went fine with the vetting in. Carol, the veterinarian judge, ordered no snakes at this ride so we didn't see any of those. Last year there was a very generously sized rattle snake found in camp, so I was thankful. The best part of the vet check was when Carol said Sebastian's body condition score (a measurement of how fat or thin a horse is, on a scale of 1-9) was a 6! We have had huge struggles in this department- last fall he was an 8 (fat). At home I do a lot of feeling for ribs and poking at the spongy fat pads at the base of his tail, doggedly trying to measure the imperceptible day to day changes in his weight. Recently I have been hoping he was down to a 7 (fleshy), so when I heard 6 (moderately fleshy) I was so excited! Moderately fleshy! When I gushed to Carol about this later in the weekend she did backtrack a bit- apparently he is somewhere between a 6 and a 7, or perhaps a 6 for his body type. But who cares- anywhere close to merely "moderately fleshy" is a huge victory for my "air fern" (Carol's expression for an easy keeper). In solidarity with my pony I gorged myself at the potluck before we got the low down for the ride. Rumors had it that the temps would get up to 104, so the open riders had a loop lopped off their ride. No such luck for the Novice and Competitive Pleasure riders. 24 miles it would be.
The night was another long series of randomly timed whooshes! and thumps! from Sebastian's hearty eating habits. I tried to focus on how wonderful his gut sounds have consistently been at vet checks and not stress about the lack of sleep. Less trailer rocking happened with the new tie system. He did lie down for a couple of hours so we both got a bit of sleep.
It was steep and an excellent use for extra pony exuberance. Also it was beautiful.
Here I am with my stubby… um, compact and efficient at dispelling heat… pony.
After many ups and downs we had the first horse fitness check. I was delighted that Sebastian came in at a 9 and 3 (pulse of 36 beats per minute and respirations of 12 per minute after 10 minutes rest). Apparently his upbringing in the mountains of Nevada had prepared him for the rising heat.
Shortly after we came upon a terrifying obstacle in the trail. Sebastian had not originally realized how dangerous the situation was, but Poki left the trail hurriedly to keep a safe distance.
Jill was laughing! That fool!
Look at this ROCK OF DOOM!
At this point Sebastian was starting to realize the dire position we were all in.
But summoned his deepest courage to snort at the rock from close range. My hero.
It must have been sleeping. Didn't eat any of us.
The temps continued to climb. I was pleased that Sebastian got an 11 and 4 at his next pulse and reparation check (pulse of 44 beats per minute, respirations of 16 per minute). The volunteers were excellent about providing horse and human water at every opportunity and I was drinking like crazy to keep up. Unfortunately I didn't have any electrolytes for myself, so Sebastian shared his paste. Eduramax tastes okay, in case you've ever wondered. From the looks of Carol's concerned expression and the number of horses being attended to, this was the vet check where a lot of horses were found to be in trouble. The heat was really taking its toll and the number of pulled horses was rising (by the end of the day 6 or 7 out of 34 were not able to continue). Region 1 of NATRC focuses the judging of the horse on soundness, rather than creating obstacles to assess the horse's manners on the trail. Carol commented on Friday that this kind of heat makes the veterinary judging straight forward. Any fitness, soundness or metabolic issues are very likely to show up under this amount of stress.
After the check we rode out onto a long, exposed ridge with conditions that B describes as "God's Hairdryer." The wind was warm and strong.
Sometime after this totally staged moment where Sebastian and I were in the lead (Pokani was the lead pony at all times), I suddenly found myself riding a terrified steed at a gallop, closing in fast on Pokani's tail. After a second I realized that the wind had came up very strongly and at just the right angle to turn my penny into a flashing, rattling noisemaker that Sebastian was certain did not belong on his back. Nothing like figuring out that some part of you is what is scaring the daylights out of your horse. I was able to hold it down with one arm and ride with the other, but it made for a tense rest of the loooong ridge, dealing with passing horses and shortening and lengthening the reins with only one hand available.
I was so happy to eventually see the lunch break come into view. Given the heat, they held us an extra 15 minutes at lunch to help everyone recover. I sponged down Sebastian, who was looking like a Zebra with crusted, white tracks of salt all over his body. It was such a dry day that the sweat would dry almost immediately. It was spooky to reach down during the ride and feel an essentially dry horse neck in such heat. I also hosed myself down and choked down some sustenance- salted ham and cheese wraps.
Our third pulse and respiration check was a 10 and 2. I would have been very pleased with those numbers at a first check on a cool day. Phew! Good boy!
Not too many pictures were taken after this point in the ride. It felt a like sort of a frivolous use of energy. But here is Jill going down that long hill that we climbed in the morning. Or maybe it was a hill closer to the P & R. Things have blurred.
The long downhill at the end of the day was a challenge. Especially for the poky pony. Sebastian is, shall we say, careful going downhill and does not think it prudent to rush. Turns out he is not, however, against a small buck in protest when he loses his leggy partner around a blind corner. This was very effective human training on his part. I hollered to Jill and she very graciously made sure not to lose sight of us again. He is still a slow walker. Sigh.
I was so delighted to see the valley floor after that long descent. I was less delighted to ride into the dense, smothering heat that was rising from that floor. The air was still and for the first time all day the heat really felt oppressive. We needed to make up time and the ponies, strangely, had plenty of energy so we trotted through that oven. Turns out it was 108 or 109 at that point.
Definitely no pictures from the rest of the evening at camp. I felt like I was wading through soup. We tucked the horses into their meals and water and gave them thorough baths. Both of them ate and drank very well all day, thank goodness. Both Sebastian and I were less than perky at the final vet check, but we did okay. I had an exciting wave of nausea in the line to the Mexican dinner feast, but held it together and took in a very restorative mountain of food. The awards ceremony was especially nice because the Horsemanship judge, Jamie, was so positive and took the trouble to name several people individually and describe things they did very well on the trail. Sebastian won his Novice class and we got Novice Sweepstakes again!!! I think we have to retire now. No way to keep up that streak.
I reconfigured hay nets again and we both slept pretty well that night, although I was still slick with sweat as I laid down to sleep at 10:30 pm. In the morning the tough Open and Competitive pleasure riders were preparing for their day 2.
Jill and I did the obligatory photo sessions with the awesome loot that we won.That's a leather halter with engraved nameplate for the first place in Novice Horse to go with that beautiful cooler for Sweepstakes! So fancy!
Jill won a very cool ride time watch for her first in Novice Horsemanship and Pokani won second in Novice horse. Here Jill is circumventing the do-something-spastic-so-the-horse-puts-his-ears-forward routine that is usually the responsibility of the photographer. Thank you Jill!
In the end it was a really great weekend. A hard ride in heat like that was not what I would have chosen to do if I had control of the weather, but really it was a gift. It pushed our boundaries (I had no idea that we could do something like that!) and gave me some excellent perspective. I think the conditions of most other Novice rides will seem easy after that one. Knock on wood!

In my previous post I mentioned I had completed 4 garments in pursuit of some slouchy tops for Autumn. Inspired by the images in this post. Well, 3 of them are refashioned from simple pashminas!
All 3 involved slightly different approaches to cutting, shaping and finishing. I'll be sharing details of each one in separate posts next week….which should give you time to grab some pashminas either from your local charity shop (if you don't already have some lurking that is!). These 3 cost me between 50p – £1 each. Bargainous huh?!
Oh my goodness!! I love these, and I have so many unloved pashminas in my closet to use 🙂 Beautiful work!
That's so clever!!! Now i'm going to have to take another look at pashminas at the store because that fabric would make for a super soft top.
Ha! Brilliant! I even own that third pashmina, but I like it very much due to the softness of it and the fact that it is good for summer shawl purpose and for wrapping up warm in autumn/spring on windy days. But I am very excited at the prospect of the tutorials as I have been collating baggy (but smart) tops in my mind due to heading back to work after my looooong maternity leave next week. I need clothes to make me look like a grown up again!
Oooh me too Flossie! I start work next week now little man is at school!
I love the variations on a theme! Now I must go shake down my family members for unwanted pashminas.
Ha ha, "shake down"…love it!
Who would have thought pashminas had so much potential! Excited to see more detail next week!
Bargainous indeed! They look fab and I look forward to the tutorial.
I do love my own pashminas as pashminas but, obviously, I shall now be on the lookout for suitable ones at nearby charity shops. What a brilliant idea! And they all look wonderful.
Ooh these look great and so soft and comfy. Looking forward to the details.
You're so clever – they look great!!
Thanks to your excellent idea, I refashioned my unloved black pashmina into a lovely soft, slouchy top. I'm now going to go hunting for more!
Love your versions of refashioning a shawl. I have a number of these shawls that I was thinking of refashioning, so I'm really looking forward to your post! My fave is the first one.
It is such a good idea. I love it and was looking for way to reuse my pashmina. So their are waiting in my dressing for a refashioning. I am waiting for your next posts to have some details.

Game Of Thrones Alum Pedro Pascal Is Seriously Psyched To Be In Wonder Woman 1984
The DC Extended Universe is an interesting place. While full of beloved and iconic comic book characters, the majority of the films have been met with at least mild disdain, and poor critical reception. The one shining exception is Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman, which brought Diana Prince to the silver screen for the first time. A highly anticipated sequel is currently filming, titled Wonder Woman 1984. Another capsulated adventure in the past, the blockbuster will help bridge the gap between the events of Wonder Woman and her eventual appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. While Gal Gadot and Chris Pine will be reprising their roles, there will also be some new characters. One of the mysterious newcomers will be played by Game of Thrones alum Pedro Pascal. Pascal recently spoke about joining the cast, saying:
I've worked with Patty Jenkins before. We did a pilot together and I had seen her films. Knowing each other, I think that may have helped. Timing. I don't know, you gotta ask them how the hell it happened.
It looks like Pedro Pascal's previous relationship with Patty Jenkins may have helped him land his mysterious role in Wonder Woman 1984. That, and the fact that he's been starring in high profile projects like Game of Thrones, Narcos, and Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
Pedro Pascal's comments to Collider highlight how much of show business is about timing and previous relationships. Pascal is a very busy guy, especially playing a series regular on Netflix's Narcos. Shooting TV shows takes a very long time, so a scheduling conflict could have easily put the actor out of the running for Wonder Woman 1984. Luckily it all worked out, and Oberyn Martell will be joining the DCEU shortly.
Aside from Pedro Pascal, the other new cast member currently announced for Wonder Woman 1984 is Saturday Night Live alum Kristin Wiig. She'll be playing the iconic villain Barbara Minerva aka Cheetah. While it's unclear if Pedro Pascal will be more of a hero or villain, it would be great to see the two newcomers team up in the upcoming sequel. Unfortunately, it seems that Patty Jenkins and DC are keep details close to the chest. There are two blockbusters to release before Wonder Woman gets her second solo movie, so we may just have to be patient.
Wonder Woman 1984 will arrive in theaters on November 1, 2019. In the meantime, check out our 2018 release list to plan your next trip to the movies.

For beginners to experts, these are the card making supplies, tools, and accessories you must have in your craft stash to make cards. Let me know your favorite crafty tools!
Affiliate links used on items I recommend. See disclosure here.
For card making, you'll want a decent, heavier card stock for your card and card base. After all, your recipient will be holding and feeling these cards in their hands, so you want them to feel weighty, and not cheap.
You can also get cheaper card stock for layering techniques. These can typically come in a variation of colors like this packet.
For a good paper trimmer, you'll want to buy one that will give you straight edges and accurate cuts every time. Some prefer the slider cut, some prefer the ax (or guillotine cutter). This is up to you. I feel like the ax might give you a cleaner cut if you're confident that your lines are straight. I always second myself when I line it up, so I prefer the slider cut of this trimmer. The slider cut (also called rotary cut) give me a chance to do it twice when I slide it down the slide it back up.
By far, the most popular adhesive or stamp runner for card makers is this Tombow Adhesive. It's easily refillable and does the job correctly every time. The adhesive is also long lasting, but if you mess up the first time, you have a few seconds of leeway to reposition it.
Regular kids craft glue just doesn't cut it when it comes to card making. You'll need a liquid glue to attach embellishments that will be long lasting and have a strong hold. I use this Mono Multi Liquid Glue by Tombow. Don't be fooled by the little bottle, a little glue goes a long way. Remember, this glue should be used for small adhesions. Your adhesive runner is what you want to stock up on for a majority of your card making projects.
If you meet any card maker, you'll see that they have a collection of stamps: images, sentiments, rubber, photopolymer, etc. Not everyone was blessed with drawing abilities or good penmanship, so that's where stamps come in. More and more stampers are leaning towards photopolymer stamps (the clear ones) as they take up less space than traditional wood block stamps. You don't need to go crazy buying stamps to start out. A few basics images and sentiments like this one from Hero Arts will help you decide if this is the hobby for you.
If you have stamps, you have to have inks. The primary two are dye inks and pigment inks. Dye inks dry faster but you may have to stamp multiple times to get complete coverage. Pigment inks may offer more coverage but they take a while to dry. One ink I recommend everyone having is versamark ink. It's a "clear" ink that allows you stamp tone on tone as well as use for heat embossing. You can also heat emboss with pigment ink as well.
You will need a heat gun for heat embossing techniques as well as to speed up the drying process (especially if you paint or watercolor). A hair dryer will not work for cardmaking. You'll want to get a heat gun specifically made for crafters such as this one from Darice.
Another popular technique to add dimension to your card is heat embossing. You stamp an image onto paper with versamark ink or pigment ink. Pour some power over it, and then hit with a heat gun to dry, then you watch the magic happen. I would recommend getting neutral colors and metallics to start.
Think of dies as cookie cutters for your cardstock. They help you cut out interesting layers or shapes without having to work too hard with a pair of scissors. You can do things the manual way with dies and a die cutting machine like the Sizzix Big Shot. I would at least get some basic shapes at the beginning. You can also choose to to the electronic route if you're tech-savvy. Popular electronic die cutting machines include the Silhouette cameo and the Brother scan and cut.
This is up to you. You can start out with a collection of sequins, or ribbons, or lace, or whatever your creativity desires! With embellishments, remember you need the right adhesive (see above), and either a craft pick or tweezers will help you lay your embellishment into place without getting your fingers too messy.
Stampers and cardmakers tend to love coloring as well. I personally have the zig clean watercolor marker set and I LOVE it. So many variations of color and so easy to use. Others also love copic markers to color in their stamps. They work much better than your kids rainbow markers. There are so many variations of color so you can be sure to get the exact shade you need. Others also love to watercolor or paint, so it's really up to you!
This kind of goes without saying but I thought I would throw it anyway. You will need a good pair of scissors to cut paper. I also recommend getting these pairs of scissors. I have the exact pair and they are so much easier on the wrist and hands. These are better for making small snips or cutting around stamped images (also called "fussy cutting").
What's in your craft stash right now?
This was an interesting and informative article. Thank you.
Great info for beginners. But I also suggest that you have a cutter. A MUST.
Could u pls show how to use the Fisk arts paper cutter.
check out my youtube channel, I use it in some on my videos.

Greensboro, NC-- Day One of the 2019 NCAA Championships kicked off with a bang, as a number of Ephs made their mark on the national stage.
The first event, the 500 freestyle, was a nailbiter. Sophomore Laura Westphal, who won the event last year represented the Ephs in the Championship Final. Westphal got out to a hot start, but at the halfway mark was second to Rebecca Erwin, the top seed coming into the meet. Westphal utilized her back-half speed by a half second on the closing 100 yards to take the win by one tenth of a second, claiming her second consecutive national title in the event in a time of 4:48.15.
The second event of the evening was the 200 IM, where Sophomore Molly Craig and Junior Caroline White represented the Ephs in the Championship Final. Craig further lowered her lifetime best from the morning heats to touch fifth in 2:01.42, and White finished eighth, both earning All-American accolades.
The final event of the evening for the Ephs was the 200 Medley Relay, where the quartet of Caroline Conforti '20 (26.31), Caroline White '20 (28.63), Maia Hare '19 (24.27), and Gwyneth Maloy '21 (23.39) touched fifth, securing All-American finishes for the four, White's second of the evening.
On day one, Head Coach Steve Kuster remarked: "This morning was a bit of an up and down morning. There were some great swims, and at the same time I think we let a few opportunities fall by the way side. Those who raced this evening did a very good job. Laura had a fantastic finish to win another 500 free title. The 500 free boys did a very nice job as well highlighted by Jamie's 2nd place finish and new school record. It was great having 2 women IM'ers in the big heat this evening and the women's 200 MR finished the evening off with a strong swim."
Tomorrow, the Ephwomen will return to competition in the 200 Freestyle Relay, 400 IM, 200 Freestyle, 100 Fly, and 400 Medley Relay.


If Tim Birkhead is worried about the waste involved in failed grant proposals now, he had better hope that the funding councils don't include research grant income in a metrics-based system.
One reason why 70 per cent of applications fail is because people believe the benefits of getting a grant are big enough, so it is worth submitting proposals that have only a 30 per cent chance of winning funding. Under a metrics system, the benefits of getting a grant go up, since you get both the direct payment and a rise in your future funding council income. The stronger incentive to get a grant will surely lead to more applications and an even higher failure rate.

Do auto makers think making all their cars look alike is a good thing? I enjoyed back when the E46 3 looked different from the 5 and 7 series.. still recognizable as a bimmer, but not a mini-version of their higher-end cars.

Comments are making the internet worse. So we got rid of them.
In February 2009, large law corporations have been in crisis. The inventory marketplace become in free fall, Lehman Brothers had recently collapsed and rumors of attorney layoffs and company implosions had been rampant.
At Above the law, the criminal news internet site I founded in 2006, my colleague Elie Mystal and i had been masking the tendencies carefully. in the reader comments, we observed chronic predictions effervescent up of layoffs at main law company Latham & Watkins. these comments led us to research further. before Latham in the end introduced its huge, report-setting layoffs, we broke the story — and we owed the news, one among our largest ever, to our comments segment.
Reader comments inside the early days of Above the law have been a treasure trove of statistics, insight and humor, advancing our mission of bringing more transparency to an often opaque profession. comments have been wildly famous; a few readers came mainly to examine them, and a few commenters have become internet celebrities in their personal proper. "Loyola 2L," a law student who helped enhance public awareness about the risks and charges of going to law school in 2007, was named lawyer of the year via the Wall street journal law blog.
So we determined to eliminate the comments section.
In element, our selection turned into primarily based on technology. Researchers have determined that when readers are uncovered to uncivil, bad comments at the cease of articles, they trust the content of the portions much less. (Scientists dubbed this the "nasty effect.") A study via the Atlantic observed that bad comments accompanying a information article brought about readers to keep the article in decrease esteem. In an more and more competitive media environment, web sites can unwell manage to pay for to have their content and brands tarnished on this way.
and then there's the toll comments tackle individual journalists. As author Jessica Valenti defined, "For writers, wading into comments doesn't make lots of experience — it's like operating a 2d shift wherein you willingly problem yourself to assaults from human beings you have by no means met and hopefully never will." that is particularly real for women and minorities. The mum or dad determined that of its 10 regular writers who get the most abuse in comments, eight are girls and are black guys, while the ten writers who get the least hate are all male. due to hateful online comments, some feminist writers have retired, impoverishing public discourse.
Above the regulation's 5 full-time writer-editors are a diverse group. I'm a gay Asian man, I work with, among others, an African American guy, and two women. we have all regularly obtained racist, sexist and homophobic attacks. My colleague Staci, who used to have interaction with commenters more than the rest of us did, soured extensively on them after one commenter mentioned "tag-teaming" her with another commenter while hitting her due to the fact, well, she appeared like she should take a punch.
in spite of such issues, our choice to scrap the comments segment changed into tough, reached handiest after months of dialogue, studies and argument. It wasn't a count of traffic, with remark-associated page views accounting for much less than three percent of our general. Nor become it a depend of advertising; our colleagues who sell commercials had no say within the remember (although i believe they're happy with our choice). And it wasn't a criminal trouble — the Communications Decency Act provides publishers with immunity from legal responsibility over comments left on their web sites with the aid of third parties.
The actual issues were extra philosophical. As someone who started out writing under a pseudonym, I understood how on-line commentators — particularly danger-averse, reputation-conscious lawyers — often want anonymity to take important however controversial stands, disseminate sensitive facts, or communicate unpopular truths. As reporters who spend our days keeping law corporations and schools responsible, we considered the comments as a manner for readers to preserve us responsible, whether for sloppy good judgment, actual errors or typos.
We're no longer by myself. In 2013, famous technology shut off its comments. In 2014, Recode, Mic, the Week and Reuters closed down their comments sections. different web sites that have removed comments consist of Bloomberg and the each day Beast. in step with a 2014 look at by journalism professor Arthur Santana, of the 137 biggest U.S. newspapers, forty nine percent did now not allow anonymous comments and 9 percent had no comments in any respect. After the countrywide journal eliminated comments on most testimonies, its internet site traffic and ranges of consumer engagement increased.
ought to we have explored different solutions short of eliminating comments entirely? Like other news web sites, we had already deemphasized comments, by way of hiding them in our layout and allowing them to be deactivated on decided on memories. however neither step stopped the damage caused by comments to our readers, writers and location brand.
We did don't forget extra moderation or policing of comments, whether or not with the aid of us, site customers or a combination thereof. because the studies of the dad or mum and Salon advise, comments sections can paintings if websites and editors placed in the attempt to have a tendency their virtual gardens, getting rid of weeds and planting seeds for healthy dialogue. As era blogger Tauriq Moosa has argued, comments have to be heavily moderated to promote civil, wise verbal exchange; otherwise, they have to be removed.
At Above the law, given our small workforce, the in depth resources required for fair and effective moderation, and the human toll moderation takes at the moderators, we determined it wasn't worth the problem. We'd as a substitute commit our time and electricity to operating on our testimonies and interacting with readers on social media — which has the brought benefit of evangelizing for our site, increasing our facebook likes and Twitter followers, and driving visitors to ATL through facebook and Twitter referrals. As Kalev Leetaru put it in Forbes, "via transferring the communication to social media, news retailers no longer most effective offload the curation and felony liability to a third party, however now each remark becomes an advertisement to direct extra readers back to the object." Social media has even become one in all our essential assets of tips.
even though I recognize we made the proper choice, with elevated leisure of my job and decreased tension as confirmation, part of me is unhappy. i will miss our comments and commenters, especially the good ones. and i endure no unwell will, even closer to the mean ones. I sense approximately them the manner I sense about a perfectly nice ex-boyfriend: We had some accurate times, we grew apart, and we must have cut up up earlier than we did. but I wish him all of the excellent — even though I don't need to listen from him ever once more.


Was hoping someone could help with this latest scenario... just answered the door to the postie and one of the letters is from Suffolk Constabulary of a notice of intended prosecution.
I remember this as I was exiting my golf club and there was a car travelling on the road I was turning into, appeared to be at speed but possibly at the 30mph limit so I pulled out and accelerated safely to avoid any need for them to break (several hundred yards away). I realised I was over the 30mph (approx 35mph) speed limit and took my foot off the accelaration right at the time as I saw a "nothing better to do old dear" with an high viz jacket and camera.
1) My assumption, rightly or wrongly, was that if caught by a member of the public, that the police force could only issue a warning letter rather than a NIP?
2) Does the equipment need to be regularly calibrated and as such surely constant moving by members of the public could lead to regular calibrations being required?
3) I am the unproud owner of 3 points already from last year and prior to that had a speed awareness course in Yorkshire... is it likely that I will get the opportunity for a speed awareness course in Suffolk as I have read that if it was my first offense in that county then this is how it would be dealt with in this circumstance?
Follow-up work on education and enforcement by Suffolk Police and our partners will also take place as appropriate."
If you've had two letters before that might be the answer.
Might not the "old dear" have been a police person?
How long after the alleged speeding event did the NIP arrive ?
If you have a NIP then you will have to identify yourself as the driver or commit an offence, whether they then take it further is another matter. I think it unlikely that in the ultimate the 'old hag' will wish to come and give evidence in court and risk being cross-examined about her training, experience and so on.
Was this your first letter regarding Community Speedwatch?
Its quite common in here for the initial contact (S172) to be referred to as a NIP In such cases like this the driver has to be identified so that any warning letter can be sent to the correct person.
Why do I get the feeling there was a camera van either before or after the speedwatch old dears.
As above, they usually only trigger snotty letters, and then a real officer / police employee does some proper enforcement.
Do you have a dashcam you could review to make sure you didn't miss a van ?
No i have no dashcam but there wasnt anything on the road on either side from me leaving the golf club to getting several hundred yards up the road at which point I had slowed down, nothing in the other direction either.
Prosecuting a speeding offence using evidence gathered by members of the public is unusual, so far as I know.
If you are certain it was some old waste of space then write back before returning the S172 and ask for photos to "help identify the driver", not evidence/proof.
c) Plod confirms it was old waste of space but call your bluff. As has been said above if you wanted to take it to court you would have a good chance of winning.
Either way now is the zero risk time to find out. Don't return the S172 until you get a reply UNLESS it gets to 26 days, in which case you need to return it regardless or risk committing a separate offence by failing to name the driver.
As I said before in another post because they need to establish who the driver was so things can be taken up with that person .No point in sending a "warning letter" ( if that's the outcome) to the registered keeper of the car as they might not have been driving .
No point in sending a "warning letter" ( if that's the outcome) to the registered keeper of the car as they might not have been driving .
That has happened to me though, my daughter was using my second car whilst hers was being repaired and passed a community speed watch (in Surrey) over the speed. as the RK I received a warning letter, there was no request to name the actual driver.
Thats plain daft- was it worded as though you were the driver?
A friend has had a Warwickshire speedwatch letter, as above it's sent to the RK but explains that the driver was detected speeding, it wasn't anything like a NIP and had no S172 response section.
Community speedwatch letters assume the RK is the driver, it's just a warning letter so there's no point in taking it further than that. They probably assume if the RK isn't the driver he'll make the driver aware.

Will an audience measurement tool help OTT platforms & brands alike?
While OTT players say they have been transparent in their measurements, other industry experts believe a credible cross-media measurement platform will encourage brands to advertise bigger
by Shikha Paliwal
Updated: Dec 4, 2019 11:05 AM
Over-the-Top channels (OTT) have changed media consumption habits in India. Backed by low data costs, the Indian consumer is lapping up video content across devices and shows no signs of any fatigue yet.
The numbers too are stacked in favour of the digital media space with the OTT market. According to a report by global accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), it is set to grow at a rate of 22 per cent to reach Rs 12,000 crore by 2023. Add to this 5G that is expected to play a major disrupter and further draw in users to adopt OTT services.
Further, smartphones, which have been the driving force for video consumption in India, are expected to double in numbers by 2023 and internet users will be up by about 40 per cent, says a McKinsey report. The average digital video consumption too has grown phenomenally over the years and is expected to grow further. All these are indicators of the future potential of the OTT sector.
As the OTT industry grows in strength so does the interest of brands and marketers in leveraging it to reach consumers. According to a KPMG M&E report forecast, by FY24, the overall segment (including digital advertising and subscription revenues from OTT video and audio) will reach Rs 173 billion.
However, despite its evident popularity and brands' keenness to advertise on the platforms there is one challenge that ails the industry – the lack of a measurement mechanism.
Unlike television, which uses data from BARC India, OTT doesn't have a common audience measurement system. A problem that industry experts say is coming in the way of growth as it leaves brands and agencies to take at face value the data being offered by individual platforms. With Television, the brand knows its viewership, but with OTT channels it's not that simple.
However, OTT players say that despite this they offer all the transparency they can, which is why they are seeing growth in ad spends on their platforms and will continue to assist brands add value to their investments.
Explains Karan Bedi, CEO - MX Player, "While digital is booming and there has been a paradigm shift in the way that content is being consumed, I believe that the OTT market is still at a nascent stage, with most players still fine tuning their business models. A single window will be a welcome development. The challenge remains in being able to get an effective and credible cross-media measurement platform. That said, even while there is no single body today there are different metrics that each platform uses to assess watch time/engagement - the fact that advertisers continue to grow their spends on OTT platforms in a big way indicates that there is already credibility and acceptance of this new medium."
According to ZEE5, the platform helps their brand partners engage with their audience in a contextual and relevant manner and this engagement is further hyper-personalised and served to their audience by talking to Segment of One in a 100 per cent brand safe environment. Says Taranjeet Singh, Chief Revenue Officer and Business Head, ZEE5 India, "As India's largest ConTech brand, it's our responsibility to be transparent to ourselves and advertisers at large. The testament to that is our partnership with Moat & Nielsen DAR, and through our association, we intend to deliver the best accountability for our brands and partners on their advertising front."
Meanwhile, brands believe that a robust independent measurement system will support efficient spends and encourage them to advertise bigger and better.
Aman Dhall, Head, Communications, PolicyBazaar.com, says: "For OTT to gain from digital spends of advertisers, the industry would need to focus on what marketers want - they want to understand exactly how much returns are they achieving from their spends. In short, performance marketing will be the norm ahead for OTT, and a standard metric will only enable it to become an integral part of India Inc's media planning."
The challenges are plenty, which is also evident from BARC India's delay in launching its digital viewership measurement system promised a few years back.
Bindu Balakrishnan, Country Head, DCMN, breaks down the challenges. She explains how the OTT industry is currently highly fragmented, and each uses a different metric to measure the success of a campaign. There is also a lack of consensus on what the marketer or an agency would like to see measured and how. The tracking challenge is further complicated as people use the same OTT account with family and friends, who live in the same household or in a different city or country.
The instances of fraud are also contributing to a lack of confidence in programmatic OTT, she adds. "It is estimated that roughly 20 per cent of the OTT inventory is estimated to be fraudulent, with device spoofing being the main culprit. More and more OTT services are being released across a limited few app stores, and tracking down fraud across them is a huge challenge. Fake traffic often inflates video view and completion metrics, which can compromise the results of any measurement platform," Balakrishnan said.
Vishal Chinchankar, Chief Digital Officer, Madison Media, says: "While OTT is gaining penetration in the country, it's important to have a common measurement system. Today, while OTTs can measure hard KPIs like - views, VTR etc, there is no common source which reports Reach and Frequency across all OTT's, unlike in TV where we have BARC. Some of the OTT players are walled garden and hence there is no third party who can give deterministic output, which is one of the biggest reason why it is imperative to really have a measurement body with common currency across all these platforms."
A common measurement system would be great for brands and advertisers, believes Mihir Mehta, AVP – Digital Planning and Buying, iProspect India, as it would help them identify their unique audience and to do their reach and frequency planning more effectively. He, however, puts the onus on OTT platforms to stop building walled gardens and passing data back to a common source instead.
He says, "Today, when OTT is gaining penetration in the country, it is very important to have a common measurement system. One might be aware of the terminology (CPM, CPV, CPCV) used among all the OTT platforms when it comes to measurement, but there is no common source which can help one with reach and frequency planning. Everybody is working in silos and creating their own reach and frequency models. The industry has been discussing the gap and the need for having a common measurable currency and platform but that will take some more time to become a reality. A lot of OTT platforms work on different models like AVOD, SVOD and AVOD + SVOD and the consumption of content is also not linear which makes it difficult to identify unique users on mobile and desktop."
exchange4media's upcoming OTT focused event titled 'One Demand Video & Audio Content Awards and Conference ' slated for March 2020, will be holding in depth discussions on similar industry challenges, possible solutions and more with stakeholders from the OTT sector.
