Memory Matters: A Mixed-Methods Feasibility Study of a Mobile Aid to Stimulate Reminiscence in Individuals With Memory Loss
Aimee V. Hamel, Tai L. Sims, Dan Klassen, Thomas Havey, Joseph E. Gaugler
Reminiscence interventions are potentially effective in improving wellbeing of persons with memory loss (PWMLs) and may also enhance relationships with family and professional caregivers. Using a parallel convergent mixed-methods design, the feasibility of "Memory Matters" (MM), a mobile device application developed to promote reminiscence, was evaluated. Eighteen PWMLs and eight family members were enrolled from a long-term care facility and asked to use MM for 4 weeks. Participants were observed using MM at enrollment and 2 weeks and completed 1-month interviews. Six staff participants also completed a system review checklist and/or focus group at 1 month. Three qualitative domains were identified: (a) context of use, (b) barriers to use, and (c) MM influences on outcomes. Participants reported real-time social engagement, ease of use, and other benefits. However, PWMLs were unlikely to overcome barriers without assistance. Empirical data indicated that family and staff perceived MM favorably. Participants agreed that MM could provide stimulating, reminiscence-based activity.

N2 - Reminiscence interventions are potentially effective in improving wellbeing of persons with memory loss (PWMLs) and may also enhance relationships with family and professional caregivers. Using a parallel convergent mixed-methods design, the feasibility of "Memory Matters" (MM), a mobile device application developed to promote reminiscence, was evaluated. Eighteen PWMLs and eight family members were enrolled from a long-term care facility and asked to use MM for 4 weeks. Participants were observed using MM at enrollment and 2 weeks and completed 1-month interviews. Six staff participants also completed a system review checklist and/or focus group at 1 month. Three qualitative domains were identified: (a) context of use, (b) barriers to use, and (c) MM influences on outcomes. Participants reported real-time social engagement, ease of use, and other benefits. However, PWMLs were unlikely to overcome barriers without assistance. Empirical data indicated that family and staff perceived MM favorably. Participants agreed that MM could provide stimulating, reminiscence-based activity.

Heartbreak has been a popular song theme for as long as we can remember. Actually, many people choose to express their feelings through different types of art…however, since this is a place for rock music, I would be focusing on that, of course.
Like a teardrop in your palm….
But now… I've got to go away! Oh, oh, oh.
+ 2 BONUS TRACKS From the greatest….


Yesterday was the record date for the first dividend in the liquidation of Leadis Technology Inc (NASDAQ:LDIS). The dividend is likely to be approximately $0.93 per share. The board estimates that "if we are able to dispose of substantially all of our non-cash assets, the aggregate amount of all liquidating distributions that will be paid to stockholders will be in the range of approximately $0.93 to $1.20 per share of Leadis common stock." After the initial $0.93 dividend, the remaining dividends will be in the range of nil to $0.27 ($1.20 less $0.93). LDIS closed yesterday at $0.99. If the stub starts trading tomorrow at $0.06 ($0.99 less $0.93), it becomes an interesting security offering the potential for some substantial upside.
How much can stockholders expect to receive if the Plan of Dissolution is approved at the special meeting?
At this time, we cannot predict with certainty the amount of any liquidating distributions to our stockholders. However, based on information currently available to us, assuming, among other things, no unanticipated actual or contingent liabilities, we estimate that over time stockholders will receive one or more distributions that in the aggregate range from approximately $0.93 to $1.20 per share. This range of estimated distributions represents our estimate of the amount to be distributed to stockholders during the liquidation, but does not represent the minimum or maximum distribution amount. Actual distributions could be higher or lower.
• professional, legal, consulting and accounting fees.
We are unable at this time to predict the ultimate amount of our liabilities because the settlement of our existing liabilities could cost more than we anticipate and we may incur additional liabilities arising out of contingent claims that have not been quantified, are not yet reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet and have not been included in the estimated range of potential distributions, such as liabilities relating to claims that have not been resolved and claims or lawsuits that could be brought against us in the future. If any payments are made with respect to the foregoing, the estimated range of distributions to stockholders will be negatively impacted and less than estimated. If the ultimate amount of our liabilities is greater than what we anticipate, the distribution to our stockholders may be substantially lower than anticipated. Therefore, we are unable at this time to predict the precise nature, amount and timing of any distributions due in part to our inability to predict the ultimate amount of our liabilities. Accordingly, you will not know the exact amount of any liquidating distributions you may receive as a result of the Plan of Dissolution when you vote on the proposal to approve the Plan of Dissolution. You may receive substantially less than the low end of the current estimate.
For some further background, see Shake&Bake's take on LDIS.
Accounts Receivable: If a company is liquidating, that means they aren't sticking around to wait for clients to pay their bills. I have a thorough understanding of the receivables business and tow options are present concerning receivables during a liquidation.
#1: The company miraculously receives all payments that are owed to them for products sold to the client before the liquidation takes place.
#2: A receivables business offers to purchase the receivables at a large discount. Currently, receivables companies are offering between $0.04 – $0.06 on the dollar. I'm invested with one particular receivables business who has been purchasing these obligations for as low as $0.02 on the dollar. Having knowledge of this information and assuming Leadis Technology has the best receivables in town, I'll value their receivables on the high side.
Receivable from sale of assets and technology: $3.313 M (no adjustment; these items were purchased by a company and they often pay, in addition, this amount is worth going to court over and easier to receive a judgment from than general receivables).
Income Tax Receivables: $335K x 0 = $0. This is a non-cash item and without knowing the tax situation after the liquidation, I have no idea whether the company will owe taxes or if this amount will be suffice since it was an overpayment in a previous time period. In any event, its a credit and isn't considered a readily ascertainable cash item.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets: $1.371 M x 0 = $0. Prepaid expenses is not a tangible item. Other current assets are typically useless items that carries no value and without having knowledge of a description for these 'assets', they are really no asset at all.
Other Assets: $1.531 x 0 = $0. Other Assets are typically worthless. If they held significant value, they would be listed as PPE.
This valuations doesn't take into effect any contractual obligations the company may have regarding executive compensation, long term health care benefit packages, or any additional items such as these. Also, the valuation doesn't take into effect any legal fee's, auction fee's, sales fee's, and/or advisory fee's that may have a material adverse affect on the asset value of the company.
I believe the company is being overly optimistic in regards to their dividend projection and would caution that even if the dividend is payed and the stock falls to $0.06, as mentioned in this article, I would be very cautious of forming a position in the company in hopes of more to come. I see no margin of safety and would stay clear of this one.
Double check your math. Using your numbers, I get a total value of $28.3m or $.94 per share.
Regardless of the corrected valuation, there's no margin of safety to justify the purchase.


In March 1917, during the February Revolution Nicholas II abdicated both for himself and on behalf of his son, ending the Russian monarchy and over three hundred years of Romanov dynastic rule. referring to the three major developments in the political history of Russia of the early 20th-century.
In September and October 1917, German troops invaded the West Estonian archipelago and threatened Petrograd with bombardment and invasion.
Established in 1762, the Commission of Stone Buildings of Moscow and Saint Petersburg ruled that no structure in the city can be higher than the Winter Palace and prohibited spacing between buildings.During the reign of Catherine the Great in the 1760s–1780s, the banks of the Neva were lined with granite embankments.By 1716 the Swiss Italian Domenico Trezzini had elaborated a project whereby the city centre would be located on Vasilyevsky Island and shaped by a rectangular grid of canals.The project was not completed, but is evident in the layout of the streets.During its first few years, the city developed around Trinity Square on the right bank of the Neva, near the Peter and Paul Fortress.
However, Saint Petersburg soon started to be built out according to a plan.
But four years later, in 1732, under Empress Anna of Russia, Saint Petersburg was again designated as the capital of the Russian Empire.
Many monuments commemorate the Russian victory over Napoleonic France in the Patriotic War of 1812, including the Alexander Column by Montferrand, erected in 1834, and the Narva Triumphal Gate.

The Dyne Steel Incline was a steam-powered tramroad that carried tram loads of cast iron up and over the hill between the Blaenavon Ironworks and Pwll Du.
From there the trams continued along Hill's Tramroad to the Garnddyrys Forge and on to the Llanfoist wharf.
It operated from around 1850 to 1860.

Background

From 1817 the main route for exporting products of the Blaenavon Ironworks was northward through the Pwll Du Tunnel and then along Hill's Tramroad to Llanfoist, from where the goods were shipped by the Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal in the Usk Valley.
Limestone for the Blaenavon furnaces came from the Tyla quarry and was shipped southward through the tunnel.
The Garnddyrys Forge was built by Thomas Hill II in 1816–17.
The tramroad brought cast iron from Blaenavon and took wrought iron from the forge to the Llanfoist wharf.

History

The tunnel became inadequate to handle the volume of traffic.
Around 1850 Thomas Dyne Steel (1822–98), engineer of the Blaenavon Company, designed a standard-gauge railway that ran from New Pit up the mountain and than down to Pwll Du.
A stationary steam engine and winding drum at the summit pulled the trams up both sides.
The incline soon proved a faster and more cost-effective route than the tunnel.
In 1860 the Garnddyrys works were closed and the forge was relocated to Forgeside, Blaenavon.
The incline was dismantled by 1880.

Today

The route of the incline is still easily seen, including shallow cuttings and embankments.
The engine house no longer stands, but its platform is visible.
It is thought that the bases of the engine and the drum below ground are well preserved.
There are also traces of the engine driver's house and garden, and a well used to obtain water for the engine's boilers.

Last week I returned to the Allia Business Centre in Peterborough to shoot more professional business headshots and corporate portraits for Norwegian firm Abax. I brought along my large grey paper backdrop and studio lights and set up in a large conference room which was perfect for headshots. There were over 70 staff members who needed photographing, the expanding Peterborough crew and a team from the Netherlands. Abax also required some large business team photos and group shots, along with some portfolio pictures of the Peterborough CEO. If you're a business looking for new corporate portraits or professional headshots then please get in touch.

How many of us want to live to be 120? Or even 100? Professor Walter Bortz, Clinical Professor of Medicine at Stanford University in the US, believes that 120 should be (and probably will become) the natural span.
Dr Bortz believes that the negative effects of ageing are due to disuse, not disease. Lucky chap: he has clearly never suffered from debilitating and increasingly painful disease, nor has encountered it among the centenarians he deals with. No doubt they're all out running with him daily. Which is absolutely fine. Except that they couldn't if they suffered now, or had ever suffered from certain progressive diseases.
We all agree that quality of life is very important at any age. But, personally speaking, I think that quality of life is much more about your head and your heart than the rest of your body. Physical incapacity can be dealt with (unless there is accompanying consistent, severe pain); mental and emotional incapacity takes your life out of your own hands. To be aware that you can no longer make rational decisions, or even communicate rationally, must be the greatest agonising deprivation. To put it at its most basic, there is nothing undignified in needing assistance to go to the lavatory; but to be reduced to clapping your hands and singing nursery rhymes at the age of 90 is a gross insult to your humanity. Your body is merely the machine that encases your humanity: inevitably it's going to run down. The mind that thinks, and the heart that loves are what is important.
And Professor Bortz seems to reduce everything to the physical, reversing that pecking order. I believe he's wrong: sometimes the body fails not through disuse, but because forms of disease make it impossible to use. Yes, there are far too many people who live on a diet of fast food, and spend their lives attempting to see the TV set from over the mounds of their bellies. But there are many other people who live perfectly healthy lives, but their bodies let them down. Take a friend of mine, about to return to work after a knee replacement, which apparently was extremely complicated. A lifelong cyclist in all weathers, slim and fit as the proverbial fiddle, there was apparently pretty well nothing useful left of his knee. He had, however, struggled on through pain for as long as he could.
I was 24 years old when I was told I had an arthritic spine. I wasn't sporty, but I was active and I didn't pay too much attention: at that stage my problems amounted merely to not having the best balance in the world when I wore six-inch heels, and a permanent backache. When I was 28, after I had nagged my then GP about intensified pain and an increasing numbness in my right thigh, he ordered X-rays. When the results came back he beamed at me and said, "My god, you're in bits." I was so gratified that at last I was proved right that I just got on with things, instead of looking for further assistance.
Things got worse and worse, as did the pain. The advantage of having a progressive crippling disease from a fairly early age is that you get used to it, and you cope. You don't whinge endlessly. The disadvantage is that as your sight blurs from pain at a party, you head for a chair, and you mention your condition, maybe once in six months, somebody comes up with a bright solution: "Why don't you try drinking olive oil?" "A friend of mine has taken to going for a walk every day." The assumption is that if you haven't yet reached the age of at least 75, the disease must be mild and tentative. Severe arthritis at any age means that you're way beyond such things, and with the best will in the world, exercise, including walking, reduces you to prolonged gibbering agony rather than improving things. And for some strange reason, the pain becomes even more intense at night, so you don't get much sleep, sometimes none at all.
So I got new hips six months apart about five or six years ago. When the surgeon looked at the X-rays he asked which one I wanted done first as they were pretty much of a condition: museum pieces, he implied. He also told me that he'd have done them 10 years earlier if I'd consulted him. My life improved out of all imagination. I still couldn't climb Everest or run a marathon but with respect to Dr Bortz, I had never wanted to. But I could go for a walk. And for the first time in many years, I went on an all-day Christmas shopping spree.
Then in the past year, things deteriorated again. I was back to severe permanent pain, and unable to walk, and if I stood for even two minutes, my leg gave out and I collapsed. (My knees and elbows were permanently bruised.) And in January of this year, I had what is called a spinal fusion and extension, again under the care of a surgeon who still strikes me as a cross between a magician and a god. The top bit of my spine remains problematic and may require further surgery, I play symphonies going through airport security, and I still can't run. According to Dr Bortz's theories I don't have quality of life, even at my age, much less at 100. I disagree.
I have met people like him. I have listened in disbelief as, eyes bulging, veins standing out on their foreheads, they have proclaimed, "Discipline. Discipline is the only thing that matters." They (literally) measure every spoonful that goes into their mouths; and nothing, no tragedy, nobody else's needs or comfort, interferes with their exercise routine.
The crime writer PD James is 91. She said last week, "I am not afraid of death, but I do fear the process of dying if it means prolonged pain, indignity and a lack of independence. I make a strong distinction between death and dying." She doesn't run, and walks with a stick. She is also the epitome of dignity. If I met Professor Walter Bortz tomorrow, I would not be able to run even half a mile of his 16 miles with him. But I could, and would, give him a lively argument about his theories. And if I lived to be 100, confined to a wheelchair, without teeth, and with a catheter, provided I could offer a hug, a kiss, and above all an intelligent mischievous argument, I would consider that I had quality of life.

Book review – Goodbye iSlave. A Manifesto for Digital Abolition
Goodbye iSlave. A Manifesto for Digital Abolition, by Jack Linchuan Qiu, Assistant Professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at Chinese University of Hong Kong and he is also part of the Hong Kong-based NGO SACOM Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour.
On amazon US and UK.
Publisher University of Illinois Press writes: Welcome to a brave new world of capitalism propelled by high tech, guarded by enterprising authority, and carried forward by millions of laborers being robbed of their souls. Gathered into mammoth factory complexes and terrified into obedience, these workers feed the world's addiction to iPhones and other commodities–a generation of iSlaves trapped in a global economic system that relies upon and studiously ignores their oppression.
Focusing on the alliance between Apple and the notorious Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn, Jack Linchuan Qiu examines how corporations and governments everywhere collude to build systems of domination, exploitation, and alienation. His interviews, news analysis, and first-hand observation show the circumstances faced by Foxconn workers–circumstances with vivid parallels in the Atlantic slave trade. Ironically, the fanatic consumption of digital media also creates compulsive free labor that constitutes a form of bondage for the user. Arguing as a digital abolitionist, Qiu draws inspiration from transborder activist groups and incidents of grassroots resistance to make a passionate plea aimed at uniting–and liberating–the forgotten workers who make our twenty-first-century lives possible.

Despite all its innovations and promises, the contemporary world remains plagued by slavery: children are kidnapped to become soldiers or sold to solve family debt, women are trafficked into prostitution or forced domestic labor, inmates work for the prison-industrial complex with no pay, etc.
Digital media plays a role in slavery too. Our gadgets need to be produced materially. Tin aluminium, cobalt and coltan and other materials have to be extracted (too often by children working in dangerous and appalling conditions); plastics need to be processed and shaped; components have to be assembled. Both the raw materials and the finished products have to be transported. Before the laptop or mobile phone lands into our hands it has caused much suffering, increase in social inequalities and human rights violations.
Who Pays the Price? The Human Costs of Electronics
BBC One – Panorama, Apple's Broken Promises
Linchuan Qiu analyzes the world of profit making and human exploitation that makes 'progress' possible. The focus of his research is the Apple-Foxconn alliance. Foxconn is the world's largest electronics manufacturer, it employs 1.4 million workers in China alone. Apple is the multinational technology company that entrusts the making of its luxury electronics to Foxconn without seeming to do much to improve the labor practices in the factories.
The investigation carried out by the author reveals that Foxconn is an independent kingdom in itself, state authorities only have restricted access to it, it has its own traffic rules and it is overlooked by guards known for their brutality towards workers (from a slap on the face to torturing, detaining and even maiming, although guards are allowed less liberties after the suicide wave of 2010.)
Although they improve with each scandal, the sleeping, living and working conditions of Foxconn employees are shocking. Interns are blatantly exploited. Resigning from the job is made as humiliating as possible but Foxconn is free to fire its employees without much ceremony in times of market slowdown. Victims of work injury and ex-workers suffering from health problems because of exposure to poisonous chemicals in the working place hardly ever get any compensation. And whenever Foxconn is brought to court by employees, ex-employees and their families, it is never made to bear any civil or criminal responsibility. I could go on but i suspect you've read it all before.
Deconstructing Foxconn
Maybe Foxconn and Apple are not even the worst offenders but Linchuan Qiu chose to zoom in on them because they embody a global regime gone wrong and the parallels he draws between 17th-century slavery transatlantic trade with 21st-century digital media enslavement are pertinent and enlightening.
The author looked into the history, sociology and legislation of slavery and found out that despite the centuries separating them, New World slave trade and today's global IT industry are united by many similarities.
First of all, there is little regard for the human beings who work behind the curtains of our consumption culture. But what is most upsetting is our own complicity. Contemporary gadgets, it seems, are as addictive as sugar was to the Old World. The ultimate slave, the author notes, is the one who is voluntarily shackled, the one who yearns for the latest piece of electronics (and is ready to sells his kidney in order to get it), the one who's too happy to work in the data mine. Consumption culture is not only responsible for the manufacturing iSlave, it is also relying on the "manufactured iSlave".

There is light at the end of the tunnel though! As long as there is slavery, there will be resistance to it. Linchuan Qiu details how today's workers form their own networks and resist the logic of capital, how they use social network to protest and share stories, how global solidarity is slowly rising and how individual projects –such as Fairphone and Phone Story— confront the 'Poisonous Apple.' The author even compared Fairphone to the 'free produce' stores started in Baltimore in 1826 by Quaker and free black abolitionists to provide alternative mode of commerce so that consumers could use their purses to show their support to the slaves.

I already knew of artists, activists and journalists who investigate labour issues in digital technology but so far, i had never encountered academics whose writings focused on similar critiques of the global IT industry. Jack Linchuan Qiu has written an impeccably researched treatise that analyses how slave-powered economies are enabled by global systems but also by individual, alienating, fanatical consumerism. Perhaps more interestingly, his book also reminds us that technology is not in itself a guarantee of progress and emancipation.

Drones, pirates, everyday racism. An interview with graphic designer Ruben Pater


Kanye West interrupted his show on Thursday night for at least 15 minutes to reveal that he didn't vote, but if he had, he would have checked the box for Donald Trump.
The crowd attending the concert at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, gave him a mix of boos and cheers, video shared on social media showed. Some even threw their shoes at the super star. A man whose Twitter handle is @RaptorJessus documented the evening heavily.
"I told you all I didn't vote right? ... But if I were to have voted, I would have voted for Trump," Kanye said, adding at some point, "the internet is going to take this out of context."
Like Trump before him, West has been talking about a shift from the world of entertainment to politics. But what made the singer's vocal support for Trump pretty surprising is that West has previously said that he would run in 2020, but as a Democrat. His wife, Kim Kardashian West is a big Hillary Clinton supporter. She posted a selfie with Clinton on Twitter in 2015 with the hashtag #HillaryforPresident — Kanye West was also in the picture. In 2012, West donated $1,000 to Barack Obama's campaign and also reportedly contributed to the Democratic National Committee.
Why West was jumping in to support a Republican was not addressed at the concert.
What West did talk about, for at least a little bit, was being a black man who supported Trump and racism in the United States.
According to @RaptorJesuss. West said that as a black man and as a celebrity, he felt persecuted for supporting Trump. Now, that Trump won, West said he feels vindicated.
And West said that he believed that neither Clinton nor Trump would end racism.
"[Voting for Trump] don't mean that I don't think that black lives matter, that don't mean I don't believe in women's rights, that don't mean that I don't believe in gay marriage," West said.
But then he also urged the audience to "stop focusing on racism" because "we're a racist f***ing country — period." He said that "not one or the other candidate was going to instantly be able to change that."
Many who attended said in interviews later that they didn't appreciate the political diatribe, when they paid to hear music.
After the concert, David Murray of San Jose said: "People came to listen to music. I came to hear a concert, I didn't come to hear politics. I think he talked a little too much."
Another man leaving the concert shouted out, "Next time you're going to rant, do it on your own time."
But others felt differently, saying that West's star power means he can use it as he wishes.
AJ, a 20-something man from Hayward, said West had every right to express himself, and he respects that. Paul of Fremont added: "He said what he had to say, and he used his platform to tell everyone how he felt."
Roni of Palo Alto, who also didn't give her last name, said she was all for people speaking their minds, but that West's "banter about politics didn't make any sense."
Before he stopped live-tweeting at the concert, @RaptorJessus summed up the experience with a prescient thought: "Kanye said some crazy s---. People are upset and rightfully so. I'm sure this will be all over the news tomorrow."
Kanye is now saying how he loved Trumps debate style. Kanye is glad Trump inspired racists to reveal themselves. "This is the beginning"
Kanyes gotten through 5 songs in a row, he just stopped again, Kanye says "I wanted to vote for Trump", says he respects Hillary supporters.

Man who killed British backpacker Grace Millane abused two other women before her death
(CNN)The 28-year-old man convicted of killing British backpacker Grace Millane while she was visiting New Zealand has been found guilty of abusing two other women before her murder.
Jesse Kempson was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum 17-year non-parole period in February after being found guilty of murdering Millane on the eve of her 22nd birthday.
Grace Millane and the rise of the '50 Shades' defense in murder trialsMillane met Kempson on a dating app in December 2018. She was last seen in the center of Auckland and her body was subsequently found by police in a bush-clad area in the west of the city.A decision Tuesday from the country's top court meant an order keeping Kempson's name hidden was lifted — and revealed that his name was suppressed as he had been facing two other abuse trials. In October this year, Kempson was convicted of a range of crimes against his former partner, including threatening to kill, assault with a weapon, and sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection, according to the Supreme Court decision. Kempson has been sentenced to 7.5 years in prison for those crimes, which took place before Millane's murder, Kempson's lawyer Tiffany Cooper confirmed. Read MoreKempson was also convicted of raping another woman who he met on dating app Tinder after a separate trial in November, the decision shows. Cooper said he was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for that crime, which happened only months before he murdered Millane.Like Millane, the rape victim was also British, and had been in New Zealand on a working holiday, Cooper said.Kempson was granted name suppression after he was convicted of Millane's murder in order not to prejudice the jury at his upcoming trials this year. Ultimately, Kempson opted for trials in front of a judge — and without a jury — for both cases.
Jesse Shane Kempson appears in the dock on February 21, 2020 in Auckland, New Zealand.After he was found guilty following the October and November trials, Kempson appealed to the Court of Appeal and then the Supreme Court to keep his name suppression. In the decision Tuesday, the Supreme Court dismissed his application to appeal name suppression orders.Cooper said Kempson is appealing his sentence and conviction for all three cases.Grace Millane's deathMillane had been on a trip around the world when she was murdered.According to her family, she arrived in New Zealand on November 20th and "bombarded" her family with photographs and messages of her adventures.On December 1, 2018 — the eve of her 22nd birthday — Millane met Kempson and visited several bars before going to his hotel. She was missing for more than a week before her body was found in the Waitakere Ranges in West Auckland. During a trial last year, Millane's lawyers argued that her death had been accidental and occurred during consensual "rough sex."The jury deliberated for four hours before deciding that Kempson was guilty of murder. They found Kempson had strangled Millane to death, crammed her into a suitcase and then taken her body to a wooded area."Overall, the circumstances of the murder showed a high-level of callousness, including: the intimate nature of the murder itself," the Courts of New Zealand said in a statement after her sentencing.

Boots Becomes Latest Commercial Brand to Back Women's Football in UK & Ireland
Jamie Spencer 03 Apr 2019
Boots has announced it is now a 'proud partner' of women's football as the cosmetics and healthcare retailer becomes the latest big brand to back the female game in Britain and Ireland.
Boots will officially be supporting the national associations of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Boots believe football has the power to boost girls' confidence. That's why we're a proud partner of women's football. #GoalPower
https://t.co/QXxnIJb36g pic.twitter.com/9dGEcKJLiE
— Boots (@BootsUK) April 2, 2019
'Confidence' is at the centre of the Boots partnership, with the brand declaring "that everyone has the right to feel good, which is why we are proud to partner women's football for the next three years and inspire women and girls to get involved with the beautiful game."
Boots quotes statistics that 45% of young women don't feel there are enough role models, and that teenage girls feel their confidence falls by 30%. But 80% of young women feel more confident when playing in a football team, with three million players now active in the UK.
It is the latest commercial boost for women's football on these shores after the England national team recently entered a partnership with Lucozade and the FA signed a deal that will make Barclays the main partner and title sponsor of the Women's Super League.
And the commercial investment trend in UK women's football continues... Great deal by @MediaComUK and VP of Sport & Entertainment @MishaSher⚽

Krumbach, Austria, Nov. 02 (Lusa) - East Timor's controversial pro-Indonesian governor, Abilio Osorio Soares, has denied that he threatened the occupied territory's civil servants with dismissal if they failed to support Jakarta's autonomy proposal for the half-island. Soares told Lusa in Krumbach on Sunday he had never threatened East Timor's civil servants with dismissal, describing reports to the controversy as "lies."
Soares is one of several pro-Indonesian participants in the 4th intra-Timorese dialogue meeting near Vienna. However, Soares said it was the duty of all East Timorese civil servants to defend the government which gave them their bread and butter. Soares also denied claims he had threatened East Timorese students with the loss of their scholarships if they failed to support Jakarta's autonomy proposal for the occupied territory.
The governor confirmed the killing of three Indonesian soldiers and an engineer in East Timor last week.

34 – Aircraftman 2nd Class F Broadhurst
Frederick Broadhurst was born on 16 December 1905 at Mount Pleasant, Tadley. He was known by his family as 'Fred'.
His parents were William and Clara Broadhurst (née Dyer). William was a 'General Labourer'.
He was the youngest of twelve children, two of whom died in childhood: Hannah Sarah, Archibold James, Alice, Rose, Percival William, Harry, Arthur, Florence, William, Mabel, Elsie Matilda and Frederick.
His father was born in Tadley and spent much of his youth with his maternal grandfather, Thomas Saunders. His mother was born in Kingsclere. They married at St Mary's Church, Kingclere, in June 1882. The Tadley Census for 1891 places them in Back Lane (now Winston Avenue) but by 1901 William, Clara and seven children are living 'nr. The Common'. By 1911 Fred, aged 5 years, and the family are recorded at Mount Pleasant which could be one and the same location, near Newtown Common.
St Peter's Church, Tadley, where Frederick married Olive Absolom on 29 January 1927.
Fred married Olive Absolom on 29 January 1927 at Tadley parish church. This was probably St Peter's. Olive was aged 19 and the daughter of George Absolom, the licensed victualler of the 'Fox and Hounds' Mount Pleasant. Fred's occupation at that time was a 'Bricklayer'.
Fred had four daughters, the first of whom died at birth: Alma, Jane, Ann and Pamela.
It is not known why they moved away from Tadley but at the time of Fred's death his family were living at 15 Park Lane, Tilehurst.
His funeral was held at the Congregational Church, Tilehurst on Wednesday 20 November 1940.
Fred enlisted on 5 June 1940, aged 34. He served as an aircraftman 2nd class in the 953 Balloon Squadron of the Royal Air Force (service number 1154792).
The 900 series of squadron numbers was allocated to Barrage Balloon units of the Auxiliary Air Force which were responsible for the anti-aircraft balloon defences of the United Kingdom. At the outbreak of war there were about 42 squadrons operating barrage balloons, the number peaking at about 102 in 1944.
On Tuesday 12 November 1940 Fred was billeted with the 907 Balloon Squadron which was stationed on Woodberry Down, Hackney, London. He was one of 18 men killed during an air raid that night in their billet at 26 Highbury Grove, Aberdeen Lane. Enemy air raids were on a reduced scale during the day but, from 11.00 pm, they intensified. A number of properties were damaged in Islington (Elfort Road, Highbury Hill, Hornsey Rise Gardens, Petherton Road, St Paul's Road and Aberdeen Lane) with the loss of 25 lives. Nearby, Sloane Square underground station booking office and a train were hit with the loss of 21 lives. A total of 111 Londoners were killed that day.
Ruins of 26 Highbury Grove, Islington. [Islington Local History Centre]
Fred was killed during an air raid on Tuesday 12 November 1940, aged 34.
Fred is buried in the churchyard (grave 768) of St Michael's Church, Tilehurst.
Fred's grave in St Michael's Church cemetery, Tilehurst.
The inscription on his headstone reads, 'In treasured memory of Frederick Broadhurst, a very dear husband and father, killed on active service on Nov 12th 1940 while serving in the RAF, aged 34 years. Memories of happy days'.
He is also remembered on Tadley War Memorial.
There are no 'honours and awards' listed on Fred's RAF records. This may be because he was only in uniform for five and a half months. It is possible Fred would have been entitled to the War Medal 1939-45 as one didn't have to serve overseas to receive it.

Father Daughter Farming – Carrying on the Family Legacy
By Greta Sharp
Father and daughter Randy and Victoria Darden don't always see eye to eye when it comes to running L&R Farms in Onward, a community just outside Rolling Fork. But, they both love the land that has been in their family for generations. In early spring, they watched rising floodwaters cover their fields.
It brings back memories of 1973's flood, which displaced the family. Randy did plant that year, but later in the season, so he knows from experience how the schedule can be flexible. Victoria, twenty-seven, struggles now with not having a plan. "There's a lot up in the air," she says. "It's very disheartening. This year is nothing like I've ever seen before. It's so saturated it's just absurd. It's just mud."
Until a few years ago, Randy had no idea who would carry on the family's farming tradition when he decides to retire. He thought he'd rent out the land, and let the land support him. Victoria grew up on L&R Farms as an only child. "I was always with Daddy when I was little," she says, but didn't have a firm understanding of how the farm worked and what was involved.
When she headed to Hinds Community College, Victoria planned to become a veterinary technician. Then, she quickly realized that wasn't the field for her and considered a future in agriculture.
Before switching programs, Victoria discussed the change with Randy. "He never persuaded me," she says. "He wanted me to pursue whatever I had in mind. He never gave me the burden of saying you've got to come back home. He's proud that I'm home and he knows how hard it is."
"I was really, honestly, in a way shocked," Randy says of Victoria's decision to make a career in farming. "You've got to have a lot of determination to want something, go through a lot of hard times."
Though Hinds' ag program was much more cattle-based than focused on row crops, Victoria found her niche. "It clicked just like that," she said. "It was like being at home."
While earning her associate's degree, Victoria began actively working on the farm and learned how to drive the tractor. "I like doing the work," she says. "Even though it's a man's field technically, I like the fact that I can do it."
Next, she headed to Mississippi State. "I knew I needed a degree," Victoria says. "I'd heard that my whole life." She found the classes challenging, especially those involving chemistry. "I had no idea there was so much science," she says. "I just knew we sprayed sometimes. State opened my eyes completely."
Victoria returned to Onward with her degree and began taking on more responsibility on the farm. "It's a lot for her to learn and grasp," Randy says. "It's so much to take in. She had to learn the accounting part of keeping books, where you get the money from, you've got to pay it back and what comes first. It's an accumulation of things."
And he's stressed two important lessons with his daughter. "You've got to get the crop in the ground, then get it to the elevator," Randy says. The next lesson is to pay back what you borrow. "It's pretty easy to get money, but it's tough when you have to pay it back."
Long days on the farm start early. "I get up before daylight and I go to bed about eight o'clock," says Randy. He's no fan of procrastination. Take care of tasks so you don't have them weighing you down later, he tells his daughter.
Randy remains Victoria's main source of counsel. "He's seen things other people haven't," she says. "I go to him because he has the experience. He has the knowledge that I can't download overnight, priceless knowledge." And for Victoria, working with her father has multiple benefits: "I get to learn from him; I'm carrying on the legacy."
That doesn't mean they always agree. "I realize he sees me as an adult, but sometimes as a kid," Victoria says. "I still go with him and I offer my opinion probably a little more than he would like. I tend to like to do a lot of talking; that's how I learn."
The nearly 1,200-acre farm grew corn and soybeans until three years ago when a depressed market price for corn convinced them to concentrate on soybeans, said Victoria, even though she would prefer to rotate the crops.
When she's planting, Randy's there to help her load the hoppers. "I can do it all, but I don't like dragging turnrows. He likes his turnrows nice and smooth," Victoria says. She also knows she needs work on pulling and backing up the trailers. There's plenty of on-the-job experience, like when she had to replant three times because deer love the taste of soybeans.
"I enjoy the fact that I live here in the middle of nowhere," Victoria says. "I can't see myself doing anything else. I can't see myself inside an office, inside all day." While she'd like to expand, current market prices and high water conditions hold her in check. "The basic answer is I get my crop in, I get it out and I get all the bills paid," she says. "To me that is success."
And while Randy didn't try to dissuade Victoria when she wanted to make a career out of farming, he did tell her it was a hard life. "We have women in ag around here, and I guarantee you they are pretty tough people to deal with, but there aren't many, I promise you," he says.

What do you think of when you hear the term safe sex? Most people picture a condom. Some assume that the only way to really be safe is to abstain from sex completely. And while using condom or abstaining from sex are good ways to avoid sexually transmitted infections, there are a few more things gay teens need to know about safe sex.
What is the Difference Between Safe Sex & Safer Sex?
Safer sex refers to things we do to lower the chances of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STD or STI) during sex. Most health professionals don't use the term "safe sex" because, aside from not having sex, nothing will provide 100% protection from infections.
Should You Use a Condom for Oral Sex?
Oral sex is considered a lower risk activity for STDs than are anal and vaginal sex. Even so, it is still possible to …
From the "Rosa Parks of the LGBT movement" to a Cameroonian lawyer, you should know these heroes.
It's LGBTQ Pride Month — a time to celebrate love, but also to champion equality and LGBTQ rights.
Throughout June, cities around the world have been hosting marches in honor of LGBTQ pride. In many countries today, people are free to join these marches, marry whomever they choose, and openly show their love. But that's still not the case for LGBTQ communities in every country, and even in countries where it is safe to march, there is still a long way to go before true equality is achieved.
Without these incredible activists, the LGBTQ rights movement would not be where it is today.
In honor of Pride Month, Global Citizen is celebrating the brave activists fighting for LGBTQ rights in places where it can be dangerous to do so, and the inspiring champions …

scrolling foliage
Chertsey Abbey
Medieval and Renaissance, Room 10c
Chertsey Abbey (made)
1260-1290 (made)
Inlaid earthenware
447:2-1905
Medieval and Renaissance, Room 10c, case WW
These fragments of a tile were once part of a highly decorated floor at Chertsey Abbey, Surrey. Pavements of decorated ceramic tiles were a medieval innovation. They were used to add richness and splendour to great churches initially but they were subsequently used in secular contexts, including castles and royal residences. The pattern on this example has been created by inlaying white decoration into the surface of the tile. In this instance the complete pattern was formed across four-square tiles, all of which are now fragmentary.
The work of the tilers at Chertsey was of the highest quality. Chertsey Abbey was dissolved during the reign of Henry VIII in 1537. Excavations in the nineteenth-century uncovered traces of its former glory and the skill of the craftspeople who worked there.
Eight pieces of a tile have been set into a modern material that reflects the dimension the original would have had when whole. This tile is one of four at the V&A each once comprising a quarter of a symmetrical design. The others three tiles are 447:1-1905, 447:3-1905, 447:4-1905. All of the four tiles are now fragmentary.
The pattern on the tile was created by inlaying white clay into the surface of the main body of the tile. The pattern, when complete, included two concentric quarter-circular bands of white clay. The inner band defined a quarter of a roundel. The outer and inner bands enclosed a border of scrolling foliage surrounding the quarter-roundel. The corner bordering the outer-band was also filled with a pattern of scrolling foliage. When complete the four tiles, each carrying an identical design, would have formed a square panel, with the white-inlay delineating a symmetrical circular pattern. The complete design for this tile can be seen in Eames 1980, Vol 2 (Design 1031).

Production of tiles for Chertsey Abbey, Surrey seems to have begun round 1250 and continued for most of the thirteenth century. Earlier tiles included individual pictorial roundels. Here the roundel (and its border pattern) is not a separate piece of tile, rather it has been defined with white inlaid decoration. The complete design would have been formed by four individual square-tiles each of which comprised a quarter of the entire design.
The tiles from Chertsey Abbey form part of a group of related tiles which include those still in-situ in the Chapter House of Westminster Abbey, as well as some found at Winchester, Hailes Abbey in Gloucestershire, Halesowen in the West Midlands and other sites. There are several tiles with an identical design to this one in the collections of the British Museum. Most of these are associated with Chertsey Abbey (Eames 1980, Cat. Nos. 8508-8518, 10029-10031). Eames also gives a complete design for the tile which is helpful in giving a sense of what the V&A tiles (447:1 to 4-1905) originally looked like (Design 1031).
Historical significance: The tiles from Chertsey have a particularly intricate inlaid design. Unlike most medieval inlaid tiles they were probably moulded, rather than stamped with the design, before the white clay was inlaid. This was a time-consuming process. Eames notes that the work of the Chertsey tilers was 'decoratively and technically better than that of any other medieval tilers known in France and England. She speculates that the designs were drawn by one of the king's painters, based on manuscript illustrations, and that the designs were then carved into wooden blocks by a master carver. The wet clay was probably pressed into these moulds, rather than being stamped with a design when leather-hard.
Historical context note
The Benedictine Abbey of St Peter was founded in the seventh century. There is a reference in Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People. On the 6th July 1537 Chertsey Abbey was surrendered by the Abbot, John Cordrey, and the history of the Abbey as a living institution came to an end. The destruction of the Abbey was extensive. Manwaring Shurlock (1885) gives an account of the recovery of the tiles from the site of the Abbey up to the point at which he was writing. He records that tiles from Chertsey were exhibited by Mr Wightwick in 1787 (1885, p7) reflecting antiquarian interest in the Middle Ages. He notes that in 1852 Mr Samuel Grumbridge uncovered many tiles whilst searching for buildling stone on the Abbey site. In 1861 further excavations took place which uncovered more fragments of tiles. Shurlock speculates that tiles in complete condition were probably removed at an early date, whilst those that were damaged during the depredation of the Abbey buildings were left in-situ.
