Vanessa George: Britain's 'most notorious female paedophile' to be released
The pervert was jailed nine years ago after being convicted of abusing up to 64 toddlers and babies at Little Teds nursery, in Plymouth, Devon
Tom Hendry
Britain's most notorious female paedophile Vanessa George is to be released from prison.
The self-styled "paedo mum" used her "dirty phone" to film herself sexually abusing babies and toddlers at a nursery before sharing them with her pervert lover.
The married mum, from Plymouth, Devon, was jailed for a minimum of seven years in 2009 following the attacks at the Little Teds nursery.
She is believed to have abused up to 64 children, with ages ranging from 2 to 5 years old.
However, a Parole Board was satisfied that in the space of nine years since her conviction, the 48 year-old no longer posed a risk to the public.
A Parole Board spokesman said today: "The Parole Board has directed the release of Vanessa George, following a parole review that was concluded in July 2019.

"Parole Board decisions are solely focused on whether a prisoner would represent a significant risk to the public after release.
"The panel will have carefully looked at a whole range of evidence, including details of the original evidence and any evidence of behaviour change.
She is currently being held at HMP Send near Guildford, Surrey, as she awaits the decision to release her.
The decision to release her, confirmed by the Parole Board, followed an earlier adjournment in May after board members were believed to have sought greater safety guarantees relating to her monitoring during freedom.

She previously had parole turned down on several occasions.
Her release was also delayed following public uproar over a decision, later reversed, to release black cab rapist John Warboys from jail.
There was also the granting of freedom to road rage killer and serial crook, Kenneth Noye.
George, publicly disowned by her two daughters, was divorced by her husband Andrew while in jail and she has since reverted to her maiden name Vanessa Sylvia Marks.

Neither Andrew or the girls knew of her secret sordid life in which she turned from an angel at the nursery, trusted by parents to look after their little children, into a monster abusing them.
Protests over her freedom were led last night by Andrew, who fears his ex spouse will have 'manipulated' parole board members, and that she still poses a risk on the outside.
Andrew, aged 51 years, insists he is a 'broken man' claiming he will bear the mental scars of her crimes for the rest of his life.
"I am staggered," he said.
"I just don't know what to say."

Following her arrest in 2009, police insisted that her family knew nothing of double life as an abuser at Little Ted's Nursery in Efford, Plymouth, which was forced to close after the scandal was revealed.
While sending indecent pictures of her abusing the children to a five strong gang of paedophiles, including 'Svengali' Colin Blanchard, she boasted of being a 'paedo wh*** mum."
Forced by debts to sell the marital home and suffering from a re-occurence of skin cancer, jobless Andrew believes that the Parole Board must now fully explain why it thinks his ex has now changed her ways.
He said: "Vanessa is manipulative and she's like the leopard which never changes its spots. She should have stayed locked-up."

November 2020 Update – Life in a Gravesham Fly-Tipping Hotspot Goes on
Throughout October and November the campaign has kept up correspondence. A physical check of the situation locally shows little improvement however some change has been noted and rubbish still comes and some of it goes. The fact is there remains on the ground in our community a significant amount of rubbish – enough to affect people's well-being and mindset. Nobody wants to live in a Fly Tipping Hotspot.
Last week Adam Holloway MP reported that a meeting with the enforcement manager for Gravesham gave details of the issues facing the enforcement team. This came after Kent Police reported two successful investigations via Facebook. Public concern was echoed in the size of fines and the limited powers of the enforcement team. We think the criminal justice system aren't supporting the community as fines and punishments are not enough to deter further dumping on public and private land or pay for the damage and clearance. The meeting suggested that the performance of enforcement can be improved to the point of catching people at it.
Physical Check
In November, as the autumn leaves clear, rubbish that has been in situ under the bushes for four years or more comes back into sight. This particular hotspot has been visited several times to be "cleared" (even this year). The content comprises a number of long term deposits in place for more than two years.
100m further on, a Fly-Tipped deposit of approx. half a tonne was made, and cleared within three weeks. It was deposited right next to another dump comprising several years' worth of uncollected mixed waste – about a tonne. Only the most recent deposit was cleared. The collecting vehicle drove by several other deposits in the lane without collecting them, much the same as we reported in September.
To us, enforcement is about getting the workforce to do its job, and get it right first time, not just trying to catch people at it.
Delivering a Borough to be Proud of
We wrote to Gravesham Council who claim in their 2020 Edition Annual Report 2019/2020 that our streets are now cleaner after investing in street cleaning teams. Like it promised during the local election. To us the clearance of all the rubbish from the streets of Gravesham seems like a good aim requiring more than £10000 investment and a program consisting of a planned set of work packages.
Because of the state of our particular hotspots we see "same old". Not convinced by the situation on the ground whether we are being bamboozled, We have asked for sight of the plan.
Due to the amount of rubbish still being deposited, and the hap hazard nature and timing of its removal we do not see how the borough will actually come clean or when.
So far there is no response to this simple request and our plan is to present our petition to the council in early 2021. What we want to see is service data, together with the plan, with resource plans, work packages and timescales, communications plan, and issue and risk mitigation etc. Also physical evidence that financial waste is being eliminated while the tip is open and any barriers to its use – such as the KCC rubble tax are minimised.
One more thing. We do see change. The recent appointment of a caretaker in a local estate has made an impact on the overall condition of the area. This is the type of change we would welcome – somebody with an interest and the means to deal with it there and then.
Thank you for supporting us. Our petition stands at 130 people and has been running for four years. Please share locally and encourage friends to sign it. We are grateful for the support of Facebook groups Gravesham Then and Now and Gravesend Riverside Town. We also post in Gravesham Borough Councils Facebook Page but rarely get a response.
Merry Christmas and Stay Safe.

Fly-Tipping and Litter in Westcourt – A Snapshot Report about Doria Drive.
SNAPSHOT REPORT
Doria Drive
Walkway between St Margaret's Crescent and Tymberwood Academy
Fly-Tipping Incidents between 28th Sept and 5th October
Hands Off Policy
This report is made on behalf of the Come Clean! Gravesham Campaign, whose petition stands at 113 to date. The campaign began 4 years ago in Westcourt, in the Borough of Gravesham, started by neighbours who found themselves living in an uncontrolled Fly-Tipping Hotspot. The petition can be viewed at the following link.
The current aim is to support the delivery of a clean environment by central and local government, in line with their objectives for safer and healthy communities, We work by highlighting the reality of the situation and identifying the issues until they lead to change.
This report, compiled between 28th September and 6th October 2020, is one of a series highlighting the persistent fly-tipping and littering in the Westcourt area.
The focus this time is on Doria Drive which is typically as fouled, as the rest of Westcourt.
(Previous reports circulated during 2019 and 2020, have focused on uncleared Fly-Tipping Hotspots between Medhurst Crescent, Barr Rd, Freeman and Cruden Road.)
In Doria Drive, the area which our school children travel on foot between home and school, (which is often their play space), is heavily fouled. This hasn't always been so.
There is the air of a wilful decision to withhold cleaning services in this area brought about by frequent visits by council owned vehicles and the ever present number of rubbish dumps.
A good deal of the material being deposited is household waste, however notably there is a good deal of rubble, and some tyres in the mix. These are items which the community specifically asked KCC not to tax people to dispose of. We said imposing a rubble and tyre tax would create a residue in our environment, but this fact was washed over in the decision making, has since been denied to us by KCC.
We were recently asked "what sort of mindset dumps rubbish on the street and walks away?" This is not for us to answer. What we do know is that in Westcourt, from reception class through to senior school, our children traverse heaps of rubbish dumped on our green space and filthy walkways on a daily basis. This risks the situation becoming normalised and "OK".
Because living in other people's rubbish creates an impact on self-esteem, well-being and a visible inequality, it is not OK.
It is not OK to leave long standing rubbish in our environment. For one thing, it sends the wrong message, contradicting the environmental teaching of schools, and honest families.
Here we report the condition of Doria Drive in a snapshot taken over the period of a week – starting on 28th Sept 2020.
Stuart Dixon FRSA, who wrote the report said "The quantity of rubbish in the area sometime fluctuates, but it is everywhere. You see council workers turn up and remove some, occasionally, but they often leave behind more than they take. The area never looks completely clear. People need a more permanent and lasting solution that delivers a clean environment, even under the bushes.
The promise made about our green spaces and fly-tipping during the Labour Party Election campaign of 2019 should be upheld – but there is no sign yet".
The area studied is highlighted in the google map below. It extends from the Public Walkway between St Margaret's Crescent and Tymberwood Academy onto Doria Drive and towards Medhurst Crescent. The fouled paths are used by adults and school children at all times of day. Primarily they form a "cut through" between Thamesview school and Valley Drive for older children. The walkways around the school connect several dead end car parks to both entrances of the Tymberwood Academy on the northern boundary of the school. These are primarily used by the younger school children. The inbound and outbound footfall is a mixture of all age groups in places.
The walkway from Doria Drive to The gate at Tymberwood Academy deserves a special mention because it always contains various deposits of fly tipped waste and litter, which was partially cleared on 28th and 29th September.
We commence reporting at 9:40AM on 28th September, at the point where the walkway converges onto Doria Drive at the north western corner of the school grounds, where a half empty Council Waste Carrier, registration KM17 FOU was parked.
Tracking back along the only possible access route for this vehicle, photographs of fly – tipped waste were taken. See Appendix 1.
These pictures show many different sites in Doria Drive, mostly long-term dumps of household rubbish, but some containing a large percentage of rubble, a couple of tyres. We noticed this also in our last report. Rubbish was spread from the car park all the way from Medhurst Crescent. It is reasonable to assume the crew saw all of this as it drove past.
The sites were revisited by us between 3 and 3:45 PM that day, at which time none of the rubbish photographed had been cleared. Photographs were retaken at the end of the day. The vehicle returned to the same place at 0845 the following day. Nothing changed.
On both occasions the vehicle above parked with the passenger door open over a pile of litter. The crew engaged in litter clearance in the Walkway running south from this point. It is reasonable to assume the passenger crewman stepped onto this rubbish as he entered and exited the vehicle. Yet this litter was not included in the clearance.
The surface rubbish from the parking point for approx. 100m back south west along the walkway had been picked by the end of the 28th. The vehicle returned on 29th.
Following this work Photo's 8 to 10 were taken. They show views of the walkway on 5th October and highlight some of the remaining rubbish.
At the time of writing the current condition of this walkway is littered with ingrained dirt and litter, piled along the edges. It should be noted the path is wide enough to accommodate a motorised road sweeper.
The route between Medhurst Crescent and the Car park was re-visited on 5th October. There was more rubbish, the bulk of which had been delivered during two fresh fly-tipping incidents over the weekend. See photo 10 and 11:
Photo 10 below shows the Walkway blocked behind St Margarets's Crescent – reported by a passer-by on Friday 2nd. October.
Photo 11 shows a bulk dump of household rubbish in Cervia Way in the car park adjacent the rear gate to Tymberwood Academy occurring over the weekend.
The photographs presented here represent opportunities for the council to do, and be seen to do its job.
When the reality is viewed in the light of recent publicity broadcast via the councils FACEBOOK feed, the inequality of the situation comes to light.
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=826641024813333&extid=BsHT78WG7JmlinR4
This is a presentation showing the council doing its job and doing it well, especially in the area of waste disposal and street cleaning. While this may be the case in some areas, a short walk between the two areas South and North of Thamesview School and Tymberwood Academy show a different story.
Photo 1 below shows approximately Half a tonne of Fly – Tipped Rubble dumped several months ago. We have seen and reported this at other sites. This implies that Gravesham Borough Council has a a selective or hands off policy relating to some fly-tipping sites and types of waste.
Please see photo's 1 to 4 and note the distance between these sites is approximately 50m.
In the week commencing 7th September a fly-tipped mattress that had lain for several days with the contents of a scattered bin bag was located, mid-way between these locations. It was removed sometime in the week commencing 14th Sept. The fact is, it was there at the same time as the rubble in photo 1.
The service level agreement between the council and its customer, the voter is at fault. In breifly studying the system for reporting fly-tipping on Gravesham Borough website, the service level is quoted as "We will send someone out to look at it within 5 days". No service level for disposing and cleaning up is mentioned, nor is the contract open to public scrutiny. This begs the question how does the council – the service provider, deliver value for money and compensate victims for poor service.
Mothers and children have been stepping through the mess left by the fly-tipper responsible for the dump at photo 10 for six days at the time this report was published.

Stress in pregnancy 'makes child personality disorder more likely' – BBC News
Following on from our work on neighborhood relations we are happy to reproduce this story reported by the BBC today. It says that research into personality disorders tells us that as many as 1 in 20 people may have a personality disorder, gained as a result of family stress during pregnancy or in our early years.
We welcome the study, published in the British journal of psychiatry for the following reasons:
Its supports our view that approaching neighbours with problems and issues is a risk to be avoided, because their response may be unpredictable.
It is easy to assume that all neighbours have a desire to get on with each other. Some policies concerning neighbours, planning and policing for example make that assumption, and some warn against approaching neighbours.
While there are many types of personality disorders, responsible for many types of common behaviour, some ( a "dark triad") are characterised by dark personality traits.
Blaming the victim when a toxic relationship materialises, "for not getting on with their neighbours" is common practice but simply not appropriate, and yet this attitude is prevalent among police officers and council workers, for example.
Airing an issue, or indeed sharing information with a toxic neighbour can lead to crime, conflict and victimisation where support is minimal due to lack of understanding.

Notes about Armando Martins Case Study No 3 and emotional blackmail 31/10/18
The victim in case three is an elderly man whose next door neighbour accused him thirty years ago, of interfering with her TV set. Relationships have never been good since this was resolved. He is well known in the community for his hobby, being a licensed radio amateur. His profile is quite high in the neighbourhood due to his garden antenna system. He gets on well with his other neighbours – most of whom support him.
Recently he has been the recipient of several types of unwanted behaviour as follows:
Type 1. False accusations of licence breaches delivered via secretive symbolic messages left on the doorstep of his home by an anonymous caller. The symbol used is that used by CB radio operators to accuse each other of causing problems by "improper" use of his radio, breaking the terms of his licence.
Editors Note: In common with other cases being compiled in support of Armando Martins, this feature implies the perpetrator has a need to torment the victim. It implies he is being observed breaking rules and the potential to involve the authorities. It is a veiled threat therefore. The same symbol has appeared several times in the last few years.
Type 2. More recently he received a malicious call about his hobby purporting to come from the authorities and telling him he would be in breach of the rules of his licence, if he didn't act. This caused the victim to respond.
These incidents he thinks are pranks, however the frequency and numbers of incidents are building up and this is upsetting for him and his wife. Someone is "getting off" on causing them anxiety.
Emotional Blackmail
Type 3. The neighbour next door's demeanour has never been good, but recently she has made a number of caustic remarks about him and his hobby containing threats to disrupt him by reporting him to the council. This attempt at coercive control was delivered over a number of incidents, one of which included complaints to his wife shouted through a communal wall, and accompanied by banging on the wall. This occurred while she was indoors enjoying TV and he was enjoying a session of radio operating in the shed.
When they eventually spoke, there was an allegation of TV Interference and the neighbour adopted a more threatening stance.
Despite his offers to resolve the situation, which mean accessing the neighbours TV to test it, she refuses and continues to threaten him saying she will have it stopped by the council. The victim takes the correct action and obtains a leaflet from the BBC and gives it to the neighbour. The neighbour insists she will do it her way.
NB. It is the BBC who have the technical resources to locate and prevent the interference. The council don't have any (but do have enforcement officers).
She isn't interested – she wants to invoke sanctions that close him down.
Anxiety levels are raised. Her attitude and demeanour imply if the victim doesn't comply with her rules, he will face the "bureaucrats" at the council or some other judgement. As of today the victim awaits a call from the council and is in fear that they will act on her complaint rather than leave it to the proper authority. (A few weeks later there is a distinctly toxic atmosphere). While the victim said that he wasn't losing any sleep it was clear now that he sees this as a threat to his livelihood. In his mind he is continually questioning the situation – racking his brains, looking for reasons why he is under attack, what the next steps may be and how to deal with it – fearing the worst.
In January 2019 the victim received a visit at night from two officers from Kent Police asking what was going on with his neighbour and for him to comment on her mental state. The purpose of the visit was vague although the victim links this with previous threats and false accusations.
NB. The behaviour of this neighbour bears a strong resemblance to that shown in Nightmare Neighbours Next Door Series 5 Episode 8. This has been screened multiple times on multiple channels of Freeview TV – ed.

LONG BEACH, Calif., Aug. 23, 2016 – The West Coast MTO Agreement (WCMTOA) today announced it has shelved plans to introduce a chassis services fee, as individual marine terminals negotiate directly with chassis leasing companies over hosting agreements.
WCMTOA's member terminals affirm their right to seek compensation for the costly services they provide to chassis leasing companies at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. It costs terminals more than $200,000 per acre per year to lease land from the ports, and the terminals each have many acres stacked with chassis. This land could otherwise generate income for terminals by letting them process more containers, and would also let them manage containers more efficiently. Terminals have also been covering the cost of ILWU labor needed to stack, unstack and move the chassis, and the cost of the personnel, hardware and software needed to provide chassis usage data to the leasing companies.
In June, after two years of providing chassis management and storage to the leasing companies without reimbursement, WCMTOA announced a chassis services fee applying to chassis owners that receive services from WCMTOA's marine terminal members. Since then, negotiations between individual terminals and some of the leasing companies have moved forward.
The leasing companies on Aug. 9 filed a Petition for an Order to Show Cause with the Federal Maritime Commission, seeking to avoid paying for the services they receive. The FMC on Aug. 16 asked interested parties to submit their views or arguments related to the Petition by Aug. 26. While it has shelved plans for the fee, WCMTOA intends to vigorously defend its position in its response to the Petition. WCMTOA members strongly believe the chassis owners must be responsible for covering the land, labor and technology costs the terminals incur on their behalf.
The West Coast MTO Agreement is filed with the Federal Maritime Commission, and comprises the 13 marine terminal operators serving the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports.
LONG BEACH, Calif., Aug. 1, 2016 – The West Coast MTO Agreement (WCMTOA) has extended the implementation date of a new tariff rule for chassis services by one month until September 1. The rule applies to chassis owned by chassis leasing companies that receive services from WCMTOA's marine terminal members at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
The chassis system in the United States has been in flux for several years as shipping lines have moved away from providing the chassis (the truck trailer onto which containers are mounted) as part of their services. Since 2014, users in Los Angeles-Long Beach have arranged chassis directly with the leasing companies.
However, the terminals haven't been compensated by the leasing companies for basic services provided such as storage space, stacking and unstacking the chassis, and electronic data interchange (which tells the chassis lessors who is using their chassis). Since the chassis leasing companies formed a "pool of pools" in early 2015, the terminals have been working with the leasing companies to address the compensation and services issues.
The new Rule 15 of WCMTOA's Marine Terminal Schedule No. 1 describes the "On-Terminal Chassis Services" provided and establishes the "Chassis Services Fee." The rule provides for a $5 fee each time a chassis enters or leaves the terminal, to cover the cost of services. The fee will be collected by PierPass on chassis with loaded or empty containers mounted, but not on bare chassis. MTO Schedule No. 1 is available at http://goo.gl/QihQ1u.
No fees will be charged for chassis that are owned directly by cargo owners or trucking companies, as these owners don't require the services provided to leasing companies. Neither cargo owners or trucking companies need register their chassis under Rule 15.
Rule 15 was originally scheduled to take effect today, August 1. On Friday, PierPass informed the FMC that it was extending the start date to September 1, giving the leasing companies additional time to implement the change without impacting cargo flow in the ports.

Sadly, I think it may be too late. This was a late addition to the line up and most people had gone past the stage of being able to take photographs, clear or otherwise.
Deep red, still showing some purple in the colour - baby young. Purple fruit and blueberries on the nose. Strongly tannic attack, angular and acidic; appearing very closed. Dominated by the huge tannins but with decent levels of fruit behind the tannin. Dry and austere finish. Tight, closed and unattractive at the moment. Guessed to be Dow 2000. 87/100. No decanting time.
Black. Very grapy on the nose. Very austere. Bitter tannins. More Dow than Dow; it will be interesting to see how this develops.
Very difficult to rate - tight and tannic, not much pleasure for current drinking purposes. A 2-minute decant probably not ideal for this port either!


It's Memorial Day Weekend, the official start of summer! Before school is dismissed for the summer, however, we have a history question for you: What do John F. Kennedy, Patrick Henry, and Bob Hope have in common? You could probably argue that all three were statesmen or that they were inspirational in some way, but the answer is actually much simpler – each of these Americans was born on May 29. Patrick Henry was born in 1736, Bob Hope in 1903, and JFK in 1917.
Whether you join us for dinner on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, we have a Memorable Memorial Day opportunity for you. Just share a quote from one of the three American heroes mentioned above and we will reward you with a delicious Memorial Day Weekend three-course meal for $25.

U-2505 – niemiecki okręt podwodny typu XXI czasów II wojny światowej. Okręt został zwodowany 27 lipca 1944 roku w stoczni Blohm & Voss w Hamburgu i przyjęty do służby w Kriegsmarine 7 listopada 1944 roku. Jednostka o wyporności nawodnej 1621 ton, wyposażona była w dwa główne silniki elektryczne SSW/AEG GU365/30 o łącznej mocy 5000 KM, dwa silniki elektryczne cichego napędu GW323/28 o mocy 222 KM oraz dwa silniki Diesla MAN M6V 40/46 o łącznej mocy 4000 KM. Dzięki bardzo dużej pojemności akumulatorów, nowej opływowej linii kadłuba - pozbawionego występów oraz działa, jednostka była jednym z pierwszych okrętów podwodnych w historii zdolnych do rozwijania pod wodą prędkości większej niż na powierzchni. Te same cechy umożliwiały jej znacznie dłuższe niż dotąd pływanie podwodne.

Okręt nie odbył żadnego patrolu, jednak w 1945 roku był przygotowywany w schronie Elbe II w Hamburgu do patrolu na Karaibach. W kwietniu 1945 okręt został jednak opuszczony przez załogę i zasypany w gruzach schronu.

Offers:100 euro discount for May departure Cooking and Walking Holiday.
This cooking and walking holiday, in the Spanish Pyrenees, is a week long small group holiday, based in a 17th century guesthouse, located in a tranquil, untouristy area of the mountains. The week's itinerary is recipe for a fun, active and also cultural holiday, combining walking in spectacular mountain scenery with expert cooking classes, and plenty of wine too of course. Your hosts are Simon and Lucy, who have a great combination of skills as chef and food scientist. As well as having an innate passion for the region, of course.
During the week, you will be guided through traditional villages and remote landscapes in both the uplands and foothills of the Pyrenees, such as in Ordesa National Park. With laid back, easy walking throughout. The Aragon region is also home to the most delicious local produce which is why cooking here is such a pleasure, with lessons that are not only in the large kitchen at the guesthouse, but also in a local state of the art restaurant.
With a maximum number of eight guests during the week, you will be accommodated in spacious rooms, all ensuite. The hub of the week, apart for the kitchen of course, is the large communal living space, with a wood burning stove and stunning mountain views.
The price of this holiday includes accommodation, meals, cookery lessons, excursions and transport (but not transfers from airport or train station). We do not charge a solo supplement on this trip.
We are passionate about the environment and the wildlife where we live. The Ordesa National Park is a World Biosphere Reserve and a 'Special Protection Area for Birds' with over 171 species, including the rare Lammergeier or Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus Barbatus). We support the Lammergeier Conservation Foundation by using guides from the Foundation, visiting the raptor feeding stations with guests and selling the Foundation T-shirts. This helps fund a breeding program in our area which has had great success.
We recycle all we can, including building materials and furniture. For example all the vanity units in the luxury bathrooms are unique secondhand pieces of furniture, adapted with a granite top and basin. All the furniture in the house is antique or secondhand and has been or is in the process of being restored by Simon, your host. Many of the external doors are secondhand and have been adapted.
The beams and stone from the four year renovation of the property have been reused throughout the building process. We continue to reuse this material now as we landscape the garden.
We also offer a guided visit to the chapel of San Urbez, explaining the stories about our saint, his miracles and the architectural features. For this, we ask our guests for a donation in the chapel collection box.
We are involved in trying to preserve and restore the local pathways, acting as volunteers as the need arises.
Ask a question and Lucy and Simon will know the answers, or find it out for you, very knowledgeable and experienced.
The hosts like to pay attention to every detail to give you the best holiday so when they ask for height and width it's not to set the calorific value of the food it's so they match you to the best bedroom configuration. They really listen to what you want and try to give the best experience.
Note no TV. They have lots of books!
Simon and Lucy with delicious picnic lunch to enjoy along the way.
eating out on patio, meeting local people and wonderful walking. Holiday couldn't have been better!
It was wonderful. I feel very much refreshed after it and it is heartening to know such places exist. Lucy and Simon have just the right balance of friendliness and professionalism and seem to have thought of everything in terms of what guests might need.
Can I just say, I would certainly give this a 5 but I think your choice of comment could be better. There are many different types of holiday so, for example, it would be hard to compare it with a trip to the Antarctic or the jungle. So 'best holiday ever' is not really appropriate in my view!
shorter trails with historic routes chapels, bridges and hermitages.
Superb hosts Simon & Lucy and accommodation and amenities that exceeded my expectations can not be faulted .
Food for all meals was outstanding.
The combination of walking and cooking was a perfect blend . I learnt so much about this area and gained an appreciation of geology .
Highly recommended. Great for solo travellers.
Be prepared to be active . This location is also great if you feel like a non active day-off .
We visited local businesses and cafes, artisan food product makers and places you would never discover if doing your own itinerary and travel plans.
exploration of the Aragon region.
with 3metre wingspan) glided past me just a couple of metres away. Amazing.

Technology One Limited (ASX:TNE), a leading Australian provider of enterprise business software solutions, has been selected to participate in a worldwide program to help Microsoft refine and enhance its Visual Studio® Team System software release.
The company was chosen from a long list of nominations, on the basis of the advanced customisation and extension work it has done since it commenced working with Team System 18 months ago.
Microsoft Visual Studio Team System is a tightly integrated Application Lifecycle Management suite designed to enhance the way software development teams work together. It facilitates collaboration, accelerates development time, and improves predictability and reliability of the development process.
Developers from TechnologyOne have been invited to travel to Redmond in Washington to participate in the Technology Adoption Program (TAP) for Visual Studio Team System codenamed "Rosario". TechnologyOne will assist Microsoft to test its new technologies and products against 'real-life' industry leading software to ensure that Team System meets customer requirements.
TechnologyOne has been using Microsoft Team System across its Application Development Framework and its Core Enterprise Suite of business software solutions. Currently about 90 staff at TechnologyOne are working with the system and this is expected to grow to around 160 staff when the technology is deployed across the company's other software divisions including Student Management and Property & Rating.
Peter Beahan, System Architect – ADF at TechnologyOne said Team System had delivered a range of benefits to the company including the ability to streamline the development process through functions like automated testing, reporting on real time information and instant reporting of build status.
Peter said that as part of the program, TechnologyOne will review the software, evaluate the specifications and give feedback on the functionality of various features of the system.
"The benefits of this partnership are innumerable including gaining early insights into the direction and functionality of new and upcoming Microsoft products and the ability to influence the feature set of new products through participation in open discussions," he said.


The Canadians have peculiar tastes and a strong liking for ketchup chips, butter tarts, and poutine. But did you know that it's the Canadians who invented the bagged milk back in 1967? They (especially the ones in East) have been using the 4L packs of this milk since the 1970s.
So let's know here what is bagged milk, a quick history on it, which countries drink it, and what are its benefits and drawbacks.
Bagged milk or milk bag is nothing but transparent plastic bags containing milk. It is mostly stored in a pitcher or jug having one corner allowed to be nicked off at the time of pouring.
Pitchers and bag openers are the two common accessories related to Canadian milk bags. The key shaped bag openers are a type of commonly used refrigerator magnet.
How, Where & Why Was Bagged Milk Invented?
Until the late 1960s, the milk was being sold in the glass bottles. The manufacturers were well aware of the amount of waste and expense involved. The heavy bottles were difficult to transport and were fragile in nature.
Some years later, Canada planned to change the metric system of selling liquids and demanded them to be sold in liters. The manufacturing plants that produced plastic jugs or cartons discovered that their containers had to be revamped in order to cater to the new requirements.
However, the process for adding milk into plastic bags needed very small changes. In 1967, Du Pont introduced this innovation by using a European equipment. The domestic dairy industry received it with open arms due to its low fragility and light-weight packaging. This also resulted in reduced packaging waste as they need less amount of plastic to hold the same amount of milk.
Although, the consumers favored the use of plastic jugs for many years, but accepted the new containers in certain regions in the 1970s. A big reason behind such shift was the national conversion of the metric system. It was easy to adjust the production of milk bags but the production of jugs required the whole system to be redesigned.
In 1978, the 4L milk bags became a standard in Ontario and until the early 1980s, Canada fully adopted the metric system. The consumers began understanding the benefits of bagged milk. Even though the milk loses its freshness once it is opened, the other two new packs could be opened as it comes with 3 packs in a large sack.
In 2010, a UK-based supermarket chain Sainsbury's launched 2-pint bags offering a free pitcher as an incentive to people to opt this and reduce waste.
In 1979, a common accessory associated with Canadian bagged milk 'key-shaped bag opener' was invented in Toronto. It came with a clip and a magnet.
Where Do People Use Bagged Milk?
You may have read or heard that Canadians widely use bagged milk. Well, that's true but partially. It's the eastern Canada (especially Ontario and Quebec) where people drink from milk bags and its use is not so popular in Western Canada. In Western Canada, one can find them in the grocery stores of regions Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
In the UK, the milk bags are mostly used along with a specialized plastic jug. The bag easily fits in the jug and its one corner is secured under a bar in the front of the jug. The doorstep deliveries are mostly common for traditional glass milk bottles in the UK but Dairy Crest company deliver milk bags at the doorstep. They sell Jug-It brand plastic jugs that are specially designed to carry milk bags.
In Mexico, the government social programs and assistance programs dispense milk in bags (1L or 1.8 imp pt per bag) at really low prices.
Bagged milk is also available in other countries like Russia, United States (in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin), Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Israel, India, South Africa and Uruguay also use bagged milk.
The countries of Eastern bloc such as Hungary, Romania, Poland and others also used milk bags. In the late 1990s, Shepparton-based dairy company Ducats distributed milk bags in Australia (Greater Shepparton, Victoria). In the 1970s and early 1980s, milk bags of 1-pint size were used in Caboolture and Gympie in Queensland.
In 2008 in the United Kingdom, Sainsbury's supermarket began a pilot experiment of distribution of milk bags with Dairy Crest. Initially, milk bags were targeted for 35 stores at the price same as that of a regular plastic bottle of milk of 2-imp-pint (or 1.1 L) size. Later in 2010, it was expanded throughout the nation.
What Is Its Packaging Like In Canada & Other Countries?
In Canada, bagged milk comes in a bag containing nearly 11⁄3 liters (2.3 imp pt) of milk. In Eastern Europe, South America and the Baltics, a packet comprises of 1 L (1.8 imp pt) of milk.
In Canada, 3 bags of 11⁄3 liters are packed together into one large sack and sold in the market. The total size of milk in the large sack is 4 L (7 imp pt). Around 75% of all the milk sold in Ontario, Quebec, and Maritimes is delivered in this manner.
The bags can be with or without labeling. The labeling would include an expiry date, lot number and type of milk (not always). The 3-bag 4L pack is the largest size sold at the least unit price in retail store. Some of the convenience stores also offer 4L plastic jugs instead of milk bags.
For more than 30 years now, Kwik Trip/Kwik Star convenience stores in the US have their own in-house dairies and have been selling individual bagged milk along with the pitcher.
What Makes It Favorable For Use?
The benefit of bagged milk for consumers is that it is cost-effective. Also, it lowers the risk of spoilage since it comes in small portion sizes.
And for manufacturers, a major benefit is that the portion size can be easily varied in the case of milk bags but that's not the case with cartons. Moreover, the overall packaging cost gets reduced.
What Makes It Unfavorable For Use?
When milk is being poured, the bag's top may turn over resulting in spilling of milk. This can be prevented by cutting off the second hole on the other side of bag for air intake, or by holding the bag's top while pouring, or a pitcher can be used with a lid to keep the milk bag in place.
The milk bags can't be sealed easily once they are opened. However, some of the consumers fold the opened portion and clip it to retain the freshness. Moreover, a single-ply LDPE bag can be easily pierced and opened and requires careful handling and transportation in order to prevent any product loss or spill.
What Are The Environmental Concerns Associated With Bagged Milk?
Even though milk bags use less plastic as compared to a usual jug, the consumers do not get any incentives (like refunds) for getting the bags recycled. In Canada, the recycling services are managed by the municipality or that region and are also not capable of being recycled. In certain municipalities, milk bags have to be thrown off and in other, they can be recycled.


Given the state of Bitcoin, there has been no shortage of articles ecently lamenting the fall of cryptocurrency.
It's like some doomsday prophecy predicting the end times for the crypto market. But is that the case?
Old news or new beginnings?
Yes, BTC has plummeted to its lowest price in over a year since October 2017. For an investor that bought into BTC as a get-rich-quick effort rather than believing in the long-term future of cryptocurrencies, the recent nosedive would be considered close to Armageddon. In which case, fearfully dumping their holdings was probably a smart choice. However, for the long game bulls, the opportunities that are starting to rear their head are nothing short of exciting.
I believe what we're about to see is a natural cryptocurrency hard fork. Like any evolutionary process, changes are an inevitability and there will always be something better to take its predecessor's place. That's what's happening in the market. While there is always space to create new coins, some devs choose to hard fork as a result of a disagreement. The cryptocurrency space is decoupling away from Bitcoin, giving altcoins room to grow separately.
While it's impossible to liken the infancy of the crypto market to other markets, there are still identical investor habits we can draw from. History may not repeat itself, but it does work in patterns. If commodities crash, equities shine, and vice versa. If it all hits the fan and the market goes into freefall, gold is often considered reliable as a safe hedge. Just as with precious metals, Bitcoin had shared that safe space, with other cryptocurrencies slowly following suit.
Unlike other markets, where one element rises when the other falls, the crypto market has its own established patterns. If Bitcoin starts a bull run, altcoins gain value. When the market capitulates, altcoins fall at least 10-15% below Bitcoins performance.
If the past is anything to go by, we'd expect the same results this time around.
Let's look at the Coinmarketcap figures.
This snapshot of the top ten coins taken Monday 19 November 2018, just seven days after the bloodbath, should show aggressively red performance. On the contrary, this exciting decoupling of the alts away from BTC shows a substantially different response.
While there has been a widespread drop across the market – the fall hasn't been quite as dramatic as it would have been in days past. In fact, Stellar stood strong at 11.24%. As the other leading outperformer, Ripple (XRP) defended its emergence as a strong frontrunner over Ethereum.
A snapshot from Thursday 22 November 2018 shows positive change across the board, with Bitcoin being amongst the lowest to climb back. Comparing the performance over the last seven days in the price graph, we're starting to see more than one alt strongly standing on its own two feet.
If you take the stats from Thursday's close of the entire top 100 only 10% are in the red. The figures speak for themselves. The decoupling of altcoins is slowly but surely escaping the control of their predecessor.
What's the earliest search engine you remember? Ask Jeeves? Yahoo? The butler didn't start work until April 1997. In fact, the world's first search engine came a whole seven years prior in 1990 when there were so few web pages you could actually search each page manually to find your answers. Fast forward a mere 28 years, and Google is a behemoth in comparison to its archaic counterpart.
Volatility is dampened by adaptability. Like the current growth of 1.8 billion websites, as adoption increases, so does the awareness. It's this visibility of the crypto market that's led to the markets decoupling. Leaving Bitcoin as a stand-alone digital asset, while altcoins are confidently coming into their own.
Just like software companies didn't fail when the world took to the cloud, and FIAT redeemed itself after the 2008 crash, the correction will pass. Stay patient; we will soon see a loosening of the ties that bond Bitcoin to the alts, leading to less volatility across the market, and of course, crypto's natural hard fork.


The idea that high levels of polarization in society can lead to social instability and conflict has motivated an increasing interest in the analysis of income and social polarization. This chapter aims at providing a review of the main empirical findings resulting from the application of income and social polarization indices. The two main approaches to the study of income polarization are introduced. The first focuses on the rise of separated income groups, while the second addresses the decline of the middle class. Both approaches have been applied to the study of social conflict. Alternative methods for monitoring income polarization based on nonparametric density estimation techniques are also illustrated. Empirical applications of social polarization indices are then discussed. Finally, other applications are presented, such as health polarization, effects of taxation on income polarization and the link between wage polarization and labour market mobility.

It generally occurs to an age of 3 to 4 years of baby and after 4 children faces a low risk of stammering. At the very young age, we speak very involuntarily with a child.

Why Society Victimizes Rape Victims? – Bijaya Laxmi
७ असार २०७५, बिहीबार १९:४८
There is no perfect definition of rape in law. However, Akayesu Case of India sheds adequate light on this subject. It defines rape as" a physical invasion of a sexual nature committed under circumstance which is coercive." But this definition can't be considered complete as it doesn't include the social stigmas that the rape victim faces after what law defines rape to occur. International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda explicitly classify the physical rape as a crime against humanity. International laws have mentioned criteria for the offense to be rape. It is rape if force or threat of force is used if other vulnerable situations are created where the party is unable to refuse and if sex is done with minor even with a. . .

Sweet Regret – Madhu Khatiwada
It`s midnight but I'm still staring at the ceiling. I had an awesome presentation today but this euphoria is not the cause of my insomnia rather I'm regretting an hour of my day. I wish I had a Time Tunner like the one in movie Harry Potter or Action Replay so that I can go back and kill my shyness. But this is not a hollywood drama neither is it a bollywood movie, so thinking something like that is all vain. I wonder how excited I was for today as I'm a novice in the bank. Journey from Itahari to Dharan, it hardly takes an hour but I am used to this tedious commute. "Mom, please make the table ready, I don't wanna be late. At least not today."

Originally Published: December 6, 2016 1:03 p.m.
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. — On Dec. 1, the Health, Education, and Human Services Committee received a report from members of Navajo veterans' organizations highlighting critical concerns about ongoing issues regarding the Navajo Nation Veterans Administration and Advisory Council.
The organizations came from the Tohatchi Chapter, Blue Gap Chapter, Central Agency Veterans Organization, Fort Defiance Agency Veterans Organization, and the Navajo Nation Veterans Advisory Council.
The veterans are seeking assistance from the Health, Education and Human Services Committee to develop resolutions. The Navajo Nation Veterans Administration and Advisory Council are under the Office of the President and Vice President.
In January 2016, the Navajo Nation Council unanimously approved the Navajo Nation Veterans Act and Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye signed the Act into law in February 2016. The Act ensures that the Veterans Administration provides enhanced outreach, services, and benefits to Navajo veterans, and the Veterans Advisory Council would allow veteran participation in policy matters and data system development regarding veterans' issues at the central government level.
Tohatchi Veterans Organization commander and Fort Defiance Veterans Agency Organization Vice Commander Olin Kieyoomia provided a written report to committee members regarding concerns with insufficient funding for housing and burial assistance and lack of staff support for the program, and added that there has been no significant improvement of services for Navajo veterans.
HEHSC chair Council Delegate Jonathan Hale said he had also received concerns from his chapter's veteran's organizations, and said he understands that there has been a "lack of movement" with the development of the Veterans Administration and Advisory Council.
According to the written report, Keiyoomia said Begaye appointed OPVP staff assistant Jamescita Peshlakai as the interim executive director for the Veterans Administration because the program manager of the now-dissolved Department of Navajo Veterans Affairs had resigned in September 2016.
He added that the transition to the Veterans Administration has resulted in a lack of communication between the OPVP and Navajo veterans, and provided no authority to veterans that sit on the Advisory Council. The Advisory Council was established to voice guidance to the OPVP to ensure the efficient care of Navajo veterans and their families, and to further advocate on the veterans' behalf.
He added that the Navajo veterans advised the OPVP against making the executive director position for the Veterans Administration a political appointment, and that it should be a contracted position in which the veterans are involved in the selection process. Begaye politically appointed the current interim executive director and veterans now have concerns regarding the nature of the appointment, Keiyoomia said.
Council Delegate Amber Kanazbah Crotty (Beclabito, Cove, Gadi'i'áhi/To'Koi, Red Valley, Tooh Haltsooi, Toadlena/Two Grey Hills, Tsé ałnáoz't'I'í) recommended a directive to request a report from the acting director of the Veterans Administration, to address the concerns of the Navajo veterans and to provide clarification on the issues that were presented by the Navajo veterans.
In addition to the proposed directive, the committee also requested that the Veterans Administration provide a detailed budget report for the program and its services, as well as the status of the veterans housing program and the backlog of veteran's assistance checks.
Hale said the report from the Veterans Administration would be provided at the upcoming HEHSC meeting on Dec. 12.
HEHSC members voted 4-0 to accept the report and approve the directives.

CHARA Michigan phase-tracker (CHAMP): a preliminary performance report
Berger, David H. and Monnier, John D. and Millan-Gabet, Rafael and ten Brummelaar, Theo A. and Anderson, Matthew and Blum, Jennifer L. and Blasius, Timothy and Pedretti, Ettore and Thureau, Nathalie (2008) CHARA Michigan phase-tracker (CHAMP): a preliminary performance report.

The CHARA Michigan Phase-tracker (CHAMP) is a real-time fringe tracker for the CHARA Array, a six-telescope long baseline optical interferometer on Mount Wilson, California. CHAMP has been optimized for tracking sensitivity at J, H, or K bands and is not meant as a science instrument itself. This ultimately results in maximum sensitivity for all the science beam combiners that benefit from stabilized fringes. CHAMP was designed, built, and tested in the laboratory at the University of Michigan and will be delivered to the CHARA Array in 2008. We present the final design of CHAMP, highlighting some its key characteristics, including a novel post-combination transport and imaging system. We also discuss testing and validation studies and present first closed-loop operation in the laboratory.

We would like to thank Anna Moore and Michael Ireland for their initial design of the lens triplet. We would also like to thank Michael Ireland for consulting on many other aspects of CHAMP, especially the inspiration for the image slicer design. We acknowledge Scott Webster at the University of Michigan who single-handedly machined every custom part of CHAMP (all 126 parts and counting).

The new Woodlark Hotel is elevating Portland's luxury hotel game.
As Portland makes a concerted effort to join the luxury boutique hotel movement that's been sweeping America's second cities (Nashville, Savannah, and Detroit among them), there's one newcomer among the deluge of recent openings that is taking the city's upscale quotient legit: Woodlark. Opened in December, the 150-room hotel is exactly how you'd imagine the City of Roses does luxury: A little bit edgy, not totally over-the-top, but plenty luxurious if we do say so ourselves.
The hotel occupies two adjacent 100-year-old downtown buildings: one the former Cornelius Hotel, set in an early 20th-century French-Renaissance building; the other, the circa-1912 Woodlark Building, which is a city landmark. A $70 million renovation has combined the two structures, and now, it's elevating the city's high-end hotel offerings. Inside, there's the kind of aesthetic vibe you'd come to expect of a luxury boutique—aka residential—only the Woodlark takes it up a notch with spaces that complement the historic heritage with sharp and contemporary creativity. The lobby's painted wood panels made from recessed molding evoke the buildings' original walls, as does the massive marble-top reception desk. There are also lush plants, delicate handblown glass pendant lights, and brass details that pop up everywhere. You'll also find some of Portland's best purveyors, thanks to here-and-only-here partnerships with brands like Good Coffee—one of the city's most beloved roasters—and Colibri, the year-old florist from local James Beard Award–winning chef Naomi Pomeroy.
