HP Drops a Bomb, Announces $169 Slate 7 Android Tablet...
Alleged iPad Mini 2 Device Shows Up Online
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Now Official
Samsung was obviously looking to build on the success it had with the Galaxy series (both mobile and tablets), and so the question we needed to ask was when rather than if the next Galaxy device, will be launched. Today the company officially announced the Galaxy Note 8, and finally confirmed our previous suspicions. No actual release date has been mentioned, only that the mid-sized slate will be globally available sometime in Q2. Other than that, we have learned that Sammy's new slab is going to include an 8-inch 1,280 x 800 TFT display (189ppi), alongside a 1.6GHz Samsung Exynos 4 Quad processor, 2GB of RAM, WiFi a/b/g/n connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS navigation platform (with GLONASS), your choice of 16GB or 32GB storage capacities, both expandable via microSD, and HSPA+ 21 (850/900/1900/2100MHz) network support.
In terms of look, the Android Jelly Bean Note 8.0 tablet measures only 8.3 x 5.4 x 0.31 inches, and sports a plastic covering, with a 4,600mAh battery under the hood. The system comes pre-loaded with all sorts of S Pen apps, running with added TouchWiz UX, and Smart Stay, Air View and Multi-Window support. There' also an AllShare Play and Cast feature, along with those Popup video capabilities, e-reader functionality, and some 3rd-party bloatware such as Flipboard, and Awesome Note. Of course, you can use it as a living room companion, thanks to the integrated Smart Remote app and the inbuilt IR blaster, up on the right. And while prices are yet to be determined, you can jump past the break to read the full PR, and share with us your feelings and thoughts.
Update: We've also added a quick hands-on video, so check it out after the break

John Gruber breaks down an article by Nilay Patel of The Verge, who accuses Apple of being "user-hostile and stupid" if they're to take away the headphone jack from the next iPhone. There's probably a bit of projecting from my part, but I can make out a weary tone from Gruber having to defend the decision (a decision, while inevitable, is still unofficial and complete speculation), especially having just come from the MacBook's great port purge of 2015.
""No one" asked for the iMac to remove the floppy drive or switch from ADB ports to USB (at a time when PCs weren't shipping with USB either, which meant few — I mean really few — existing USB peripherals on the market). There was a huge outcry when the iPhone 5 dumped the proprietary-but-ubiquitous 30-pin port for the proprietary-and-all-new Lightning port. MacBook Air fans are still complaining about the new MacBook's solitary USB-C port.
That said, things can still go in any way — as far as I'm concerned, nothing has happened in any official capacity as of yet. We'll know how things work out in September.
What we could do now is look at similar decisions that have been made in the past as examples, most of which Apple have made, often spearheading the adoption of new standards. Gruber does this, and thinks history will repeat itself. I do, too.
Also, ever wondered why I kicked off The Verge from my "Regularly visited sites" list? This is a big reason why.

Defacto-complainant, namely, Haro Kumar Roy, PW-1, and his family members were followers of Yagi Khudiram Brojabashi. Premananda Brojabashi was also a follower of Khudiram Brojabashi and was a `Gurubhai' to the defacto-complainant and his family members.

6. Being aggrieved by such order and judgment for conviction and sentence, the appellant has preferred the instant appeal.
7. Mr. Majumder, learned counsel appearing for the appellant submitted that the conviction of the appellant is not based on legally admissible evidence. He submitted that evidence of PW-1 to PW-8 is hearsay in nature and could not be formed the basis of conviction. He further submitted that the Trial Judge erred in law in treating the statement of PW-13 recorded under section 164 Cr.P.C. as substantive evidence although such witness did not support his statement under section 164 Cr.P.C. while deposing in Court. He further submitted that there was no evidence on record to establish that the appellant had entered into conspiracy with other accused persons or played any role in the treatment or alleged abortion of the victim. He submitted that judicial confession of Monoranjan Burman (since acquitted) in the instant case was not believed by the trial judge being exculpatory in nature. He further submitted the statement of other accused persons before the villagers is also inadmissible against the appellant. Accordingly, he prayed for acquittal of the appellant.
8. Mrs. Dey Ghosh, learned counsel appearing for the State submitted that there is sufficient evidence on record to bring home the prosecution case of the appellant. She submitted that other accused persons admitted before PW-1 to PW-8 that they had brought the victim, Depali Roy to Jamaldaha hospital for abortion by the appellant. It is on record that the said accused took the victim in the house of Purneswari Barman, Aya attached to the hospital, for abortion which was conducted by the appellant and as a consequence thereof the victim had died. She further submitted that the co-accused persons were in conspiracy with the appellant and such statement is admissible under section 10/30 of the Evidence Act. She submitted that cross-examination of the hostile witnesses clearly show that they had supported the prosecution case in their statements recorded during investigation. The appellant had made false statement that he was not a medical officer attached to the said hospital under section 313 examination is an added link to the circumstances which brings him home his guilt. She prayed for dismissal of the instant appeal.
9. The prosecution case against the appellant is to the effect that the victim, Depalil Roy, was brought to the hospital by Premananda Brajobashi, Jashomati Brajobashi, Narakanta Barman and Monoranjan Barman for the purpose of abortion. The appellant had referred her to the house of Aya, Purneswari Burman, and himself performed abortion on the victim in the said house on 10.01.2006 and as a consequence thereof the victim died. It appears from the evidence of postmortem Doctor, namely PW-17 that the following injuries were found upon the victim is as follows:
"On P.M. Examination I found one small injury, 1/6" tear at mid-line on perineum. The chambers of the heart were also empty. Uterus was slightly bulky with few bits of clots into the uterine cavity. The death took place about 24 to 48 hours back from the time of P.M. examination. My opinion was that the death was due to shock due to Uterine bleeding."
10. It is also deposed that such injury may be caused due to abortion. He has proved postmortem report as exhibit 14 and his reply to the questions by C.I.D. as exhibit 15. PW-26 stated that he was acting as superintendent and A.C.M.O.(H) of Mathabhanga S.D. Hospital at the material point of time. He stated that the appellant was a qualified Doctor and was attached as Medical Officer In-Charge of Jamaldaha P.H.C. from 7.1.2006 to 12.01.2006 and was not allowed to do private practice. PW-2 to PW-8 is relations and neighbours of PW-1, brother of the victim, Depali Roy. PW-1 is also the defacto-complainant in the instant case. He has submitted that accused Premananada Brajobashi is a disciple of Yagi Khudiram Brojabashi. He also their `Guru'. Premananda Brajobashi had developed an illicit relationship with Depali Roy, victim herein, and as a consequence thereof she had become pregnant. He deposed that on 7.1.2006 Premananda, Joshomoti had taken Depali on the pretext of marrying her. She was taken to Uchalpukuri Kalirhat Asram. On 11.01.2006 at about 7.30 p.m. Premananda Brojabashi and Joshomoti Brojabashi brought dead body of the victim in an ambulance from Jamaldaha and after taking down the dead body of the victim from the ambulance near Bhotepatti hotel, they were taking the body to Asram in a rickshaw van when the local villagers accosted them. The witnesses were informed and they reached the place. Premananda Brojabashi told that his sister died because of heart attack. The local people pressurized that the victim could not have been died of heart attack. Then he narrated that Manoranjan Barman had fixed a doctor for abortion and they had taken Depali for abortion and as the abortion could not be done in the hospital, Depali was brought to the house of Kundewari Burman, Aya where Depali died. After hearing such information First Information Report was lodged which was scribed by one Anarul Md. PW-1 has proved the First Information Report as exhibit 1. He has also proved his signature on the inquest report as exhibit 2. PW-2 is the neighbour who corroborated the evidence of PW-1. He had stated that Premananda Brajobashi narrated while trying to abort the pregnancy the victim died at Jamaldaha hospital. PW-3 is also a neighbour who was also corroborated the evidence of PW-1. PW-4 is another neighbour. He also corroborates the evidence of PW-1. He stated that they became suspicious as they found blood on the legs of the deceased. Therefore the Premananda and Joshomoti narrated that Dipali had died while being aborted by the appellant in the house of Kundeswari Burman. PW-5 has supported the case of PW-1 and PW-4. His statement was corroborated before the learned Magistrate under section 164 Cr.P.C. He has proved the signature on such statement.
11. PW-6 and PW-7 are also neighbours who corroborated PW-4 and state that they had made statements before the Magistrate.
12. PW-8 is the mother of Depali. She corroborated the prosecution case and stated that she had made the statement before Magistrate under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
13. PW-9 is the uncle of Depali who also corroborates the prosecution case. PW-9 to PW-14 are witnesses of Jamaldaha. They have not supported the prosecution case and have been declared hostile. In cross-examination they were confronted with their previous statements made to the Police Officer. They denied having made such statements.
14. PW-15 is the wife of rickshaw van puller whose rickshaw van was utilized to bring the dead body of Depali to the Ashram.
PW-16 is the scribe of the First Information Report.
PW-18 has proved the date of birth of the victim Depali.
15. PW-25 was the Magistrate who had recorded the statements under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of various witnesses. He also recorded the confessional statement of accused Monoranjan Barman (since acquitted).
16. PW-27 is the Police Officer attached to Mekhliganj Police Station who held the inquest over the dead body of the victim and prepared the inquest report. He also seized the wearing apparels of the victim containing blood stains.
17. PW-28, PW-29 and PW-30 are the Investigating Officers of the case. It appears from the aforesaid evidence that the prosecution case suffer vital blow due to the fact that PW-10 to PW-14 did not support the same and were declared hostile.
18. Let me analyse the evidence of the witnesses from Jamaldaha who have turned hostile.
19. PW-10 stated she was residing within the compound of Jamaldaha Hospital. She claimed to know Purneswari Barman. She however did not support her earlier statement to the Police that a delivery patient had been brought to the Doctor and that abortion was sought to be conducted by the Doctor in the house of Purneswari Barman. In cross-examination by the defence, she denied any acquaintance with Purneswari Barman and stated that her house is far away from the residence of Purneswari Barman.
20. PW-11 Dilip Mitra is also a resident of Jamaldaha Hospital Para. He has admitted his signature on seizure list. However, he did not support the prosecution case and was declared hostile. He denied having made statement to the Police that the appellant had hired the ambulance of Jamaldaha Club for carrying a patient and that the patient was taken to the house of Purneswari Barman. In cross-examination by the defence, he stated that he had signed on blank papers.
21. PW-12 has a furniture shop at Jamaldaha Bazar. He also admitted his signature on the seizure list. However, he did not support the prosecution case that the appellant was involved in the business of illegal abortion.
22. PW-13 is the driver of the ambulance which is said to have carried the victim. He admitted his signature on the seizure list but did not support the remainder of the prosecution case. He admitted his statement before the Magistrate which was exhibited as Exbt. 18/1. In cross-examination, he stated that as per direction of the Police he made statement before the Magistrate.
23. PW-14 is the owner of a Medicine shop at Jamaldaha. He stated that the ambulance belonged to Jamaldaha Club and Pathagar and was let out to carry patients.
24. From the conspectus of the aforesaid evidence of PW-10 to PW-14 it is clear that the role of the appellant as the Doctor who was approached to conduct abortion of the victim and who in fact performed such abortion on her at the house of Purneswari Barman resulting in her death has not been established. I am in agreement with the submission of learned counsel for the appellant that statement recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure cannot be treated as substantive evidence when the maker does not depose of such facts on oath during trial. Hence, there is no direct evidence on record connecting the appellant with the alleged crime.
25. Faced with such a situation, Mrs. Ghosh strenuously relied on the evidence of PW-1 to PW-8 wherein co-accused persons, namely, Premananda Brajobashi and Jashomati Brajobashi had stated that they have taken the victim to the appellant and the appellant performed abortion on her resulting in her death. The co-accused persons have not admitted making such statement to the witnesses during their examination under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The version of such witnesses are therefore hearsay in nature.
26. The condition precedent to attract Section 10 of the evidence Act is succinctly laid down in State v. Nalini, 1999 SCC (Cri) 691. Thomas, J. in the said report observed -
"The first condition which is almost the opening lock of Section 10 of the Evidence Act is the existence of "reasonable ground to believe" that the conspirators have conspired together. This condition will be satisfied even when there is some prima facie evidence to show that there was such a criminal conspiracy. If the aforesaid preliminary condition is fulfilled then anything said by one of the conspirators becomes substantive evidence against the other, provided that should have been a statement "in reference to their common intention". Under the corresponding provision in the English law the expression used is "in furtherance of the common object". No doubt, the words "in reference to their common intention" are wider than the words used in English Law."
"The basic principle which underlies in Section 10 of the Evidence Act is the theory of agency. Every conspirator is an agent of his associate in carrying out the object of the conspiracy. Section 10, which is an exception to the general rule, while permitting the statement made by one conspirator to be admissible as against another conspirator restricts it to the statement made during the period when the agency subsisted. Once it is shown that a person became snapped out of the conspiracy, any statement made subsequent thereto cannot be used as against the other conspirators under Section 10."
27. It is therefore clear that there must be prima facie evidence to give rise to reasonable believe that conspiracy existed between the accused persons in the first place before any act done or said by a conspirator would bind the other. Secondly, such act must be done or words spoken by the conspirator in the course of conspiracy and not after the same had been snapped, e.g., a conspirator having been caught and is in the custody of the police.
28. No charge of conspiracy has been framed against the appellant. Even if such charge is presumed (as he is charged with the substantive offence while others having been charged with conspiracy to commit such offence) there is absolutely no independent evidence on record (except the purported aforesaid statement of the other accused persons) to show that the appellant had met the other accused persons or there was any agreement halted amongst them and the appellant to commit the crime. In the absence of such evidence it cannot be said that the first condition, namely, there are reasons to believe that there was a conspiracy between the appellant and other accused persons is established. Secondly, it is doubtful whether after Premananda & Joshomati were detained by local people and were interrogated the conspiracy had continued so as to attract the theory of urgency so as to attract Section 10 of the Evidence Act. Hence, I hold that in the instant case as prosecution had failed to establish prima facie existence of conspiracy between the appellant and the other accused persons, namely, Premananda & Jashomati, the statement of such accused persons before villagers after being caught cannot be admissible under Section 10 of the Evidence Act against the appellant.
29. It has been argued that such statements were made by the conspirators is admissible under Section 10 of the Evidence Act. Section 10 of the Evidence Act reads as follows :
"10. Things said or done by conspirator in reference to common design. - Where there is reasonable ground to believe that two or more persons have conspired together to commit an offence or an actionable wrong, anything said, done or written by any one of such persons in reference to their common intention, after the time when such intention was first entertained by any one of them, is a relevant fact as against each of the persons believed to so conspiring, as well for the purpose of proving the existence of the conspiracy as for the purpose of showing that any such person was a party to it."
30. It is also argued that such statement of Premananda & Jashomati before the villagers be treated as extra judicial confession of co-accused and be used against the appellant. Firstly, co-accused Premananda & Jashomati have not supported making of such confession to villagers in their examination under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
It is settled law that confessions of a co-accused is a corroborative piece of evidence and cannot be the sole basis of conviction (See:Kashmira Singh v. State of M.P., A.I.R. 1952 S.C. 159 paragraph 10). There is no evidence on record connecting the appellant to the abortion of the victim resulting in her death. Hence, he cannot be convicted on the basis of statement of a co-accused which has been retracted by them during trial.
31. Accordingly, I am of the opinion that the evidence of PW-1 to PW-8 with regard to complicity of the appellant in the alleged incident as transpiring from the mouth of the co-accused person cannot solely form the foundation of a finding of guilt against the appellant. The confessional statement of co-accused (Monoranjan Barman since acquitted) has not been believed by the Trial Judge being exculpatory in nature. Accordingly, such confessional statement is also of no help to the prosecution.
32. The prosecution case with regard to the role and participation of the appellant in the alleged crime, I am of the opinion that the prosecution case has not been proved at all on the basis of legally admissible evidence. No doubt there exists a strong suspicion against the appellant but suspicion howsoever strong cannot take the place of proof.
33. Accordingly, I am constrained to acquit the appellant of the charges levelled against him due to lack of cogent evidence. The judgment of conviction and sentence of the appellant is accordingly set aside.
34. The appellant shall be discharged from his bail bonds after six months from date in terms of Section 437A of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
The appeal is allowed.
35. Let a copy of the judgment along with the Lower Court Record be sent down to the trial Court at once.
Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties as early as possible.

Gloucester Lacrosse athletes take game to higher level
Two members of the Gloucester Lacrosse Association have taken their game to a higher level.
Midfielder Jake Ledbetter will attend Virginia Wesleyan University on a partial scholarship. Goalie Sam Carmine was named first-team All-Conference in the Hampton Roads Lacrosse League and was later selected to play in the HR Lacrosse High School Varsity All-Star Game.
Carmine played the first half for the North squad as goalie, had 16 saves, no turnovers and only two goals against. The North went on to beat the South, 9-8, and Carmine was named defensive MVP.
The Gloucester Lacrosse Association started five years ago with the mission of growing the game in Gloucester County. "Through summer camps and with the great support of Gloucester Parks and Recreation, volunteer coaches, volunteer board members, players and families of players, this mission continues to be met," GLA president Larry C. Brownley Jr. said.
Gloucester Lacrosse will hold its summer camp June 25-28. For more inf...

'John Wick' TV Show in the Works (But Not Starring Keanu Reeves)
Posted January 12th, 2018
by Kelly Woo
"John Wick's" next assignment could be the small screen.
Starz is developing a television series based on the film franchise starring Keanu Reeves as a hitman. Reeves will not star in the series, titled "The Continental," but will serve as an executive producer and may make an appearance at some point.
The show would take place within the "John Wick" universe and revolve around the mysterious Continental Hotel, a refuge for hired assassins. Starz noted it "maintains the urgency of the action along with the dry humor from the 'John Wick' movies."
Writer/producer Chris Collins ("Sons of Anarchy," "The Man in the High Castle") will pen the script and serve as showrunner should the project get the greenlight.
"This series is truly unlike anything else on TV," said Starz CEO Chris Albrecht. "'The Continental' promises to include the thunderous fight sequences and intensely staged shootouts between professional assassins and their targets that fans have come to expect in the John Wick movie franchise as well as introducing some new, darkly compelling characters who inhabit this underground world."
The two "John Wick" movies have earned over $300 million at the box office and spun off a hit virtual reality mobile game.
ROctober 24th, 2014
Based on 39 Critics
Legendary assassin John Wick (Keanu Reeves) retired from his violent career after marrying the love of his life. Her sudden death leaves John in deep mourning. When sadistic mobster Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen) and his thugs steal John's prized car and kill the puppy that was a last gift from his wife, John unleashes the remorseless killing machine within and seeks vengeance. Meanwhile, Iosef's father (Michael Nyqvist) -- John's former colleague -- puts a huge bounty on John's head. Read More

JAY-Z On His Relationship With Kanye: "You Brought My Family Into This. Now It's A Problem With Me"
He discussed their relationship on a new TIDAL podcast.

JAY-Z has been releasing TIDAL exclusives every week since the release of his new album 4:44, usually in the form of pretty fantastic music videos. This week's special delivery is a wide-ranging interview on the Rap Radar podcast with Elliot Wilson and Brian 'B.Dot' Miller. JAY covers the creation of the album's sound with producer No-ID, the marketing, as well as aspects of his personal life including his relationship with Kanye West.
The talk turns to Kanye when JAY is discussing "Kill JAY Z," 4:44's first track. JAY said that the song's ideas are bigger than their beef ("It's me talking to myself, and taking ownership of some of the things I've done"), but confirmed that some of the song's lyrics reference Kanye to make a broader point.
Read Next: Report: The woman in the viral pic with Beyoncé from Game Three is getting death threats
It's not even about Kanye. It really isn't. His name is there, just because it's just the truth of what happened. But the whole point is 'You got hurt because this person was talking about you on a stage." But what really hurt me was, you can't bring my kids and my wife into it. Kanye's my little brother. He's talked about me 100 times. He made a song called "Big Brother." We've gotten past bigger issues. But you brought my family into it. Now it's a problem with me. That's a real, real problem. And he knows it's a problem.
During his infamous, show-ending speech in Sacramento last year, Kanye addressed Beyoncé directly, and claimed that she tried to secure an award for herself instead of Kanye during negotiations for the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. He said: "Beyoncé, I was hurt because I heard that you said you wouldn't perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and over [Drake's] "Hotline Bling."
JAY-Z did say that the door was open for reconciliation:
Because me and him woulda been resolved our issues. He knows that he crossed the line. I know him. He knows. I know he knows, because we've never let this much space go between one of our disagreements, and we've had many, because that's who we are. That's what I like about him. He's an honest person, we'll say things, and he's wrong a lot of times, and we'll confront it.
JAY also mentions that the song's lyric "You dropped out of school, you lost your principles" is about himself, not Kanye.
Listen below or on TIDAL. The comments on Kanye begin at the 50:30 mark.
Hip-Hop, Jay Z

Legal expert sees major problem with day one of the impeachment hearings
By John Hanlon
Jeffrey Toobin, a legal analyst for CNN, admitted that there was a major issue in the first day of the impeachment hearings. Although he said there were some bombshells in the testimony of career diplomats William Taylor and George Kent, Toobin also admitted there was a problem.
During CNN's coverage of the hearings, Toobin noted that "the one criticism of these two witnesses, which I think is very much legitimate-- it's not really a criticism, it's just a factual statement-- is that neither of them had direct contact with the president ever and that's a problem if you're going to impeach the president."
The author of The Nine and The Run of his Life: The People vs. O.J. Simpson has previously criticized many of President Trump's actions before so it's telling that he raised such concerns about the first day of the impeachment.
Toobin previously covered the topic of a impeachment before in his book A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal that nearly brought down a President. That book focused on the scandals surrounding former President Bill Clinton.

Q: Generic Repository Structuremap IOC question I'm new to IOC and strcturemap but i want to know how I can register different classes that implements from the same interface like IRepository that implements CustomerRepository and CategoryRepository for example.
And, as you can see, if i can use this with generic types.
Like Repository or Repository
x.ForRequestedType<IRepository<Category>>().TheDefault.Is.OfConcreteType<IRepository<Category>>();

tried this bit It didn't worked..any help whould be appreciated!

A: When configuring StructureMap, you can use the Scan API to auto-register the closed types.
Scan(x =>
{
  x.TheCallingAssembly();
  x.ConnectImplementationsToTypesClosing(typeof(IRepository<>));
});

This feature is in the latest trunk, but I'm not sure if it is any released version, and probably not yet in the official documentation. However, there is a good blog post that explains it.

A: No Default Instance defined for PluginFamily MVCPoco.Data.IRepository`1[[MVCPoco.Core.Category, MVCPoco.Core, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]], MVCPoco.Data, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
got the latest version... the project runs but when i inject in the constructor a IRepository it gives me that error.

There was praise from all quarters last week at the opening of a coastal defence scheme delivered by Team Van Oord on behalf of the Environment Agency.
The £30m Broomhill Sands Coastal Defence Project, which took two years to complete, will provide improved protection from flooding for around 1,400 homes and 100 businesses along a 2.5km stretch of the East Sussex coastline from The Suttons to Lydd Ranges.
The scheme was officially opened on Friday 13 May by Emma Howard Boyd, Chair of the Environment Agency. In addition to representatives from the Environment Agency and Team Van Oord, other attendees included Damian Collins, MP for Folkestone and Hythe, representatives from the local community, the Ministry of Defence, Camber Parish Council, the Defend Our Coast Association and the Regional Flood and Coastal Committee.
Ian Nunn, Environment Agency operations manager, told the Rye and Battle Observer: "Being here today, everybody is so positive about it. It's not just a really good sea defence that will provide a fantastic level of protection, but it's also a fantastic facility as well.
The works at Broomhill Sands extend across 2.5km of beach and include: a 1.8km length of rock revetment requiring 265,000 tonne of rock armour and a new concrete wave wall; recharging 700m of shingle beach and replacing the existing timber groynes.
The scheme also involved widening and improving the existing access way along the top of the sea defences, including pedestrian access steps and ramps down to the beach.
Broomhill Sands is no stranger to success, having been cited in a string of industry awards schemes.
This year it has been named a finalist in the 2016 Constructing Excellence Awards and the ICE South East England Engineering Excellence Awards 2016, which will be presented in June and July respectively. Earlier this year it received the Innovation Award at the 2016 Environment Agency Project Excellence Awards, and last year the scheme was the recipient of the Environment Agency Exemplar Award which is presented annually to recognise outstanding health, safety and environmental performance.
Speaking at the official opening, Maurits den Broeder, chairman of Team Van Oord, said: "We set out to set to set new standards for making a large and complex construction project like this blend in with the environment, and to achieve maximum engagement with local community.
"It is great to see what can be achieved through true collaboration between local residents, the Environment Agency and the contractor.
"The residents have been very proactive in minimizing how the works have disrupted daily live in the area. Representatives from the Defend Our Coast Association visited our offices for regular updates and to discuss progress, as did the local kitesurfing community.
"The project may be most visible for the amount of rock, shingle and concrete that went into it, but it should be remembered for the exceptional way in which everyone involved has worked together, the pragmatism of the local community, and the shared focus to get things done.


Onshore Companies brings years of experience and expertise to every project. We work closely with customers and provide excellent service. With efficient methods and superior talent, we create buildings that strengthen companies and communities.

Born in Devon, UK in 1970, I studied Visual Studies and Publishing as an honours degree at Oxford Polytechnic between 1988-1991 where I was taught and mentored by Ivor Robinson MBE, Chairman of the Visual Studies Field degree. The Visual Studies elements combined the disciplines of painting, drawing, 3D studies, printmaking, photography, graphics, typographics and bookworks, and was the first course of its kind in Britain.
Prior to becoming a full time artist in 2003, I was fortunate to enjoy a fulfilling and varied career in a number of non-arts related, and client facing roles.
I am an active member of The Dorset Salon, a selected fine art membership group that encourages critical debate and enjoys a culture of discussion and shared experience.
As well as undertaking commission work, I have exhibited drawings, paintings and monotypes in joint and group exhibitions for a number of years where the works have been traditionally framed and hung on walls. More recently I have been exploring projection, sound and 3D formats for drawings and paintings, as well as researching how changing the way my work is presented and challenging convention alters the audience experience.
Working with Dorset AONB, The Arts Development Company and Dorset History Centre, I have delivered large scale drawing and painting projects as part of the dementia friendly Stepping into Nature programme that aims to connect people with nature through creative engagement. As artist in residence in Horatio's Garden at Salisbury NHS Spinal Unit, I have continued my interest in the health and wellbeing benefits of combining art with nature by engaging patients, visitors and staff in drawing outdoors. Ambition and scale need not be compromised by individual physical ability, and through adapting: materials; mark making method and forming collaboration, patients with significant spinal cord injury demonstrated great courage and determination, creating drawings over 5 metres long.
My collaboration with Dr Anna Biley relating to grief, loss and art has recently been presented at conferences in Brighton and New York and published in A Handbook for Caring Science: Expanding the Paradigm by Springer Publishing.
I have also worked in partnership with Dorset Wildlife Trust to create images across their product range, and Oxfam have used my images for their greetings cards. Bridgeman image library license my work which has been featured in publications worldwide.
I live and work in Dorset, United Kingdom.


The canal is certainly one of the things that Ottawa is known for. It is 202 kilometres long and is the largest naturally frozen skating rink in the world (as designated by Guinness World Records). During the Winter (January/February) you can skate down 7.8 kilometres of it and take in the beautiful sights of downtown Ottawa. The best part? It's free! Unless you have to rent skates of course. Also, you MUST get a beaver tail…it's a necessity! Beaver tails are delicious pastry treats that Ottawa is known for. If you are visiting during the Summer, you can walk along the canal or take a boat ride. Fear not…there's a beaver tail stand in the Byward Market (see below) year round in case you can't get one while skating.
An important part of Canadian heritage that every Canadian must see at least once. You can take a guided tour or just walk around the grounds on your own. Who knows…you may even spot our Prime Minister walking by!
This museum contains reknowned works of art with everything from contemporary art, Canadian art, mixed media art, and much more. You've gotta take a picture under the giant spider outside of it!
History enthusiasts, this is the place for you. Learn about the military history of Canada and the stories behind it. The building itself is beautiful as well!
The market is a must see when you are downtown! Even president Obama himself has stopped by in the past (no really…there's an "Obama Cookie" that you can buy at one of the shops there). There are plenty of unique boutiques around the market that you won't find anywhere else as well as tons of great restaurant choices (we recommend Blue Cactus or Tuckers Marketplace!). On certain days they also have outdoor vendors which is always a treat to walk around and see.
The Rideau Centre is located in the heart of downtown Ottawa. It's a gigantic mall that is home to many popular stores, such as Nordstrom, and a newly renovated food court.
On July 1st Ottawa turns into a giant party city! There are street performers and vendors all around downtown as well as musical performances and fireworks on Parliament Hill at night. Past musical performances have included Canadian acts such as Nelly Furtado and Simple Plan. It's completely free too! Except for the food and drinks of course. This is the best day to be in Ottawa and the atmosphere is definitely contagious.
Have you been to Ottawa before?
If so, what is your favourite thing to do there?

Enjoy views over the Ifach rock at Calpe and the Mediterranean Sea from the Oceana Club at Benissa
Directions to Oceana Club
Tropical paradise on the shores of the Mediterranean
Oceana Club in Benissa has been creating a stir since opening its doors this Spring. Take the most amazing setting by the sea with far-reaching views over the iconic Peñon de Ifach rock in Calpe, add gourmet food, sparkling drinks, friendly Oceana Club crew, superb music and chill-out terraces to serve a unique cocktail of delights to tickle all the senses.
Benissa's Oceana Club has brought the laidback feel of the Caribbean to the Costa Blanca.
With its cool pastel shades on the walls to the white terraces with vivid turquoise covers to remind you of the immense colour of the Caribbean sea, you can enjoy the relaxed vibe while enjoying a drink or meal while listening to the coolest music around.
Oceana Club owner Franco Pearson said the location deserved the colonial/Caribbean feel. "The location deserved a different concept to what it had before," he added.
So why the Oceana Club?
"We called it the Oceana Club because we want people to feel part of something. They can socialise and feel important," he added. "I want clients to say that it was the most amazing experience. We want to be a part of them and for them to be a part of us. They can feel like they're coming to their club. They feel like they belong."
This philosophy means all customers are made to feel like VIP guests by the Oceana crew who are what makes the Oceana Club so special. Indeed, they are made to feel so welcome, they don't want to leave. People are feeling so relaxed and enjoying the ambience that they will stay for five or six hours although they only intended to pop in for a quick drink!
Enjoying the dish of the day
At the Oceana Club in the pretty little bay at Les Bassetes, Benissa, you can sample tapas around the world or choose a dish from the menu featuring produce fresh from the market. The menu changes daily depending on what is the best local produce on offer. The food is a work of art on plate with the presentation paying tribute to the quality of the dish. One little beauty is a salad made with beautiful edible flowers. Furthermore, people have been known to drive all the way from Valencia just for their bouillabaisse!
Vegan, vegetarian and other diets are also catered for as the chef will invite you into the kitchen to discuss your individual needs and create a special dish just for you using the ingredients of the day. You can even end the meal with a delicious home-made ice-cream, including dairy-free options, with flavours as enticing as mint made from mint leaves or Parmesan ice-cream which is truly scrumptious.
If music be the food of love...
As well as food and drink, Oceana Club has live music and will be promoting charity events to raise funds for good causes in the Alicante region. In the summer, you can also join the yoga and pilates classes being held in the mornings.
So why not enjoy a taste of the Caribbean on the Costa Blanca by enjoying the intoxicating cocktail of fine food, drinks, live music and views to die for at the Oceana Club in Benissa?
The Oceana Club will be closed from Monday 27th November 2017 to the 15th March 2018 for the winter period and for some refreshing refurbishments.
WE WILL BE OPEN FOR THE FESTIVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS DAY & NEW YEARS EVE , FOR RESERVATIONS PLEASE USE :

James Vincent McMorrow returns with a strikingly raw video for his latest single Cavalier. The first in a trilogy of short films by acclaimed director Aoife Mcardle the feature sees a young man fall off the waggon so to speak as he overindulges in drink, drugs and strip clubs. Falling deeper and deeper in to his own downfall the video documents the stirred destruction of one young mind leading to its climatic finale in beautiful detail.

New Yorker Stories
More than fifty years after Janet Frame wrote them, the short stories "A Night at the Opera" and "Gorse is Not People" have in 2008 been published for the first time, in the venerable NEW YORKER magazine.
Frame devotes a chapter in the second volume of her autobiography An Angel at My Table, to the story of her writing of "Gorse is Not People" (and some other stories and poems) on a second-hand Remington typewriter in her attic room while working as a live-in waitress at the Grand Hotel, Dunedin, in 1954. The editor of the literary magazine Landfall rejected the superbly written "Gorse" on the grounds it was "too painful to print".
Both stories are indeed painful, drawing from her experiences and observations of the hidden world of the locked wards of mental hospitals, where society's rejects and failures, and those who just didn't fit in, were dumped.
It has been a great privilege for me to be involved with the coming to light at last, of these two heartbreaking but beautiful stories. Janet was far ahead of her time in criticising the casual brutality of the NZ psychiatric institutions of the 1940s and 1950s. The material is not only piercingly poignant, it also exposes a culture and a philosophy that was due for dramatic reformation.
As she says in her autobiography of the conveniently forgotten residents of the hospital back wards, "It was their sadness and courage and my desire to 'speak' for them that enabled me to survive".
These stories indeed speak, both in human terms and as literary treasures. If you haven't seen them yet, they are archived online:
A NIGHT AT THE OPERA June 2, 2008
GORSE IS NOT PEOPLE September 1, 2008
It may be of interest to note that these stories are not the first of Janet Frame's to appear in the pages of the NEW YORKER. In the 1960s she published stories in magazines such as the New Yorker, Harper's Bazaar and Mademoiselle, and she even fictionalised an account of the boost such publications could give to an impoverished author:
-You've another book coming out soon?
-Yes, in summer. It's hopeless. And there are some stories.
-You've had some in the New Yorker?
-Yes. I've been living on the proceeds for the last year. They pay - they pay a huge sum, quite out of proportion-
She could see that Philip was waiting for her to name the sum, but she was shy of doing so - how could she explain that she had been ashamed and embarrassed (pleased too) at being paid so much for a few hours' work when a complete book was rewarded by a tiny spurt of royalties as useful as toothpaste forced from the end of an almost empty tube.
-- from Towards Another Summer (written 1963, published 2007)
Longing to Belong
Janet Frame and friend, Baltimore USA
It's no secret that I'm not impressed by the fad for posthumous diagnosis of celebrities.
What is a little less obvious, apparently, is that it is not the particular condition or disorder being touted, that I have any particular objection to. I don't have an irrational dislike of any particular condition. I have a rational distaste for people being misrepresented and labelled based on hearsay, myth and presupposition.
The same people who are quick to say they understand someone as complex and baffling as Janet Frame, and can name her so-called "problem", would be chilled to the bone if they themselves or somebody they loved and knew well should happen to be labelled and placed in a box by someone who had never even met them, and furthermore who had little more than the roughest caricature of facts about them, and had never had access to any reliable empirical evidence concerning them.
Nevertheless, various "researchers" continue to venture where angels fear to tread, and feel quite sure they can sum up, with one "diagnosis" or another, an extremely complicated and multi-faceted woman, who had a dazzling personality.
So, initially, she was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia. That was overturned. She learned eventually not to reveal herself in conservative, conformist or arrogantly authoritarian company, for fear of being thought mad for the brilliance of her conversation. She didn't care for small talk so she often fell silent. She was not mute, and she was not inarticulate when she was in amenable company. And she does make this quite clear, repeatedly, in her autobiography. And there are an army of witnesses who have attested to her sparkling quick-witted communicative abilities. She could certainly be stubborn and uncommunicative when faced with pretension and insincerity, which she could not abide. (Oh and I'm sure the 'inability to abide insincerity' will now be added to the list of her "symptoms" that add up to some pathology or other!)
I'm reminded of the wonderful Sufi/Buddhist/Hindu tale of the blind men and the elephant. And myself just another of the blind men, perhaps.
I did know Janet far too well to agree with anyone who would claim that she was bipolar (or manic depressive), had Asperger Syndrome, suffered from depression, was subject to episodes of fugue, had borderline personality, or high-functioning autism. She had none of those, although she had an astonishing empathy and understanding for people who did. She counted medical doctors and psychiatrists amongst her many friends, and not one of them declared her to have anything wrong other than some minor post-traumatic effects of the abuses she had suffered in New Zealand hospitals.
But I do admit to a soft spot for one of the labels that have been bandied about since her death. That is, that she was a "womb twin survivor".
Janet really had been deeply affected by the knowledge that her foetal twin had not survived. Her biographer Michael King had appreciated her lifelong sense of loss and longing to belong to her own kind, and satisfied himself that in fact she had really been the only survivor of twins, so much that he claimed to have named his biography Wrestling with the Angel in order to suggest the influence on Janet of her sense of being a lone twin.
So here's yet another posthumous label: if you're interested, you can click on the link to read a description of Janet Frame as a "womb twin survivor".
Although in my opinion this portrait is incomplete and unsatisfactory, and is more than a tad fanciful, it does at least have a touch of emotional authenticity about it (she was lonely, at times, in the way gifted children are lonely for their own kind), so I don't find it as offensive as some of the other characterisations.
Australian Cousins
Heather Bolton reading at the Australian Goose Bath launch
Most New Zealanders have Australian cousins, and the relationship between our two nations is certainly a close one. I've just spent a pleasant almost fortnight in Australia during which time I attended the launch in Melbourne of the Australian Edition of The Goose Bath.
The launch was held at Readings bookshop in Lygon Street on September 17th and was jointly hosted by the publisher Andrew Wilkins of independent boutique publishing firm Wilkins Farago and the New Zealand Consul-General Shona Bleakley.
There was a warm and welcoming crowd of Kiwi expats and Melbourne literati, along with friends and colleagues and fans as well as curious bookshop patrons. The atmosphere was great - partly thanks to the generosity of Montana Wines and Whitestone Cheese. Shona and Andrew spoke, and I also addressed the audience. They seemed to be amused when I told them that sometimes I imagine my aunt on my shoulder, sharply reminding me not to forget, when I am enjoying all the fuss for this beautiful book, that SHE was the one who had written the poems in the Goose Bath!
Those present were given a special treat: an intelligent and illuminating reading of some selected poems from The Goose Bath by Heather Bolton. Heather is a Kiwi actor now resident in Australia who has already demonstrated her outstanding ability to interpret Janet Frame's work in the Bolinda audio book production of Owls Do Cry released earlier this year. That title has already won a 2008 AudioFile Earphones Award. The focus of these awards "is the audio presentation, not the critique of the written material. EARPHONES are awarded to truly exceptional presentations that excel in narrative voice and style, vocal characterizations, appropriateness for the audio format, and enhancement of the text." I really enjoyed hearing Heather's interpretations; even though I knew the poems well already, I felt that new subtle shades of meaning had been brought out for me by her sensitivity and professionalism.
Heather has also done the reading for the newly released Bolinda audio book of Towards Another Summer and I'm looking forward to hearing that. As an expat I'm sure she was easily able to identify with the meditations on escape and exile that predominate in that work.
We rounded off the formal part of the evening with an audio clip of Janet herself (recorded about a year before her death) reading "The Icicles" which is an astonishing poem that has emerged as one of the top choices so far for anthology editors.
The event was about celebrating poetry itself as well as Janet Frame's poetry, and it was great to be part of such an enthusiastic gathering.
Earlier that day Andrew Wilkins and I spoke to Ramona Koval for the ABC Book Show (click on the link to hear a podcast).
The Goose Bath had already starred in a couple of newspaper articles before the launch. In a feature for the Sydney Morning Herald (August 30-31 2008) Angela Bennie said:
Throughout the volume, Frame's voice comes through: strong, powerful, idiosyncratic, whether in grief or joy. Images recur from one poem to another, as do colours, sounds, ideas and patterns of language, deliberately so, creating the impression that the poems are talking internally to each other as much as outwardly to a reader.
And here from the Herald Sun (Melbourne) review (13 September 2008):
The richness of content and her sense of the natural world delights. She writes about mathematics, other poets, music, sex, family and childhood. And when you think you have her taped, she surprises with an audacity that takes the breath away ... This is a living, breathing volume of the best of her uncollected poetry, an elegant selection that constitutes part of a very decent legacy indeed.
Framed by Fame
Members of the Order of New Zealand
(NZ's highest civil honour)

Inset:
Janet Frame and Ed Hillary
were both suitably fitted for their "Kiwi Icon" status
by their remarkable achievements in their own fields,
their determination and courage
but also their down-to earth practical natures,
shy self-deprecating humour,
compassion, sense of justice, and humility.
All New Zealand mourned earlier this year when the great Kiwi hero Sir Edmund Hillary died. The country stopped still to pay respects on the day of his State Funeral. The Hillary family, long used to sharing their loved one with his admirers, coped remarkably well given the unrelenting public interest.
Janet Frame's family had a smaller taste of a similar outpouring of public grief, when Janet died 4 years earlier. We found that we shared our loved one with a nation who also loved her. Two weeks after her private funeral, a public memorial service was held in the Dunedin Town Hall, and attended by the Prime Minister, the Governor General, the Mayor of Dunedin, other dignitaries, friends, family and colleagues, and about 1500 well-wishers.
Janet's memorial service was broadcast live on TV, and so was Edmund Hillary's funeral.
At Sir Edmund Hillary's funeral his son Peter spoke, and something he said struck me deeply. He was talking about his long experiences of sharing his famous family member with the public. He learned at a very young age, he said, that there were several Ed Hillaries - there was his Dad, of course, and others too, playing various roles. One of the Ed Hillaries especially, was an Ed who bore very little resemblance at all to the Ed his family knew. This was the Ed that Peter first met in the school playground. The Ed his classmates knew and held dear. This was the legendary Ed, a man built up by genuine admiration, anecdote, perhaps some myth-making and some projection, and who had become to many people who maybe had never even met the real Ed, a solid living breathing person as familiar to them as the members of their own families.
I did envy Peter Hillary for learning this lesson so young. Janet Frame was already very famous in New Zealand terms by the time she came back to NZ in the early 60s (as she had "made a name" overseas), but she protected herself, and her family and friends, from the worst effects of the fame, by her insistence on living a private life.
Her inner circle - not a small group at all, but a fiercely loyal network - kept her confidences. Janet did not even nearly live the reputed life of a "recluse" - she was secretive, not reclusive (there is a crucial difference). But the lack of information about her actual comings and goings, and relationships, allowed the myth of reclusiveness to flourish. Which suited her I guess, because she thus managed to avoid as much as possible the pretensions and superficialities of "celebrity" life, which she detested.
All those years I thought that in our secretiveness we were protecting her from harassment and exposure. And we were I suppose. What I never suspected, was that she was protecting us from the fallout of having a family member who was famous.
Because Janet's true personal life and identity were so well hidden, it wasn't until after her death that I have encountered the power and persistence of her mythical alter egos. I have received angry comments from people who lecture me about my own best friend, and tell me I didn't understand her at all...
I receive poison pen letters from a crazed stalker who tells me I am mad and all my family are mad, including my aunt of course, and who makes the distressing accusation that I locked my own daughter in a madhouse at birth. This kind of cruel falsehood is sick or evil, or both, and apparently comes with the territory... No wonder Janet was so keen not to entertain her fame.
It is alarming to know that someone is so obsessed and hostile that they go to such lengths to be unpleasant... Janet was plagued occasionally by celebrity stalkers over her career even in spite of her attempts to live a relatively normal life. Anyone famous risks this and that's why famous people do throw walls up around themselves. The shame is that Janet Frame's self-protectiveness has been so pathologised, and that in challenging the fallacy of her "social inadequacy" I have become a target also, of slander and venom.
I must hasten to assure anyone reading this, that the messages received are not all so horrific!
Most of it is all good, and there are copious amounts of business mail to occupy me. if you want nothing but the positive news, look at the JFLT website for news of new editions etc.
In the same mail I also receive letters of gratitude and affirmation. Today some angel - a kind stranger - emailed to say "thank you for the fantastic work you do in honour of New Zealand's greatest writer", and a card came from a woman battling cancer, who had picked up and read a copy of Towards Another Summer that she found in hospital, and loved it so much she wanted to make contact somehow.
One of Janet's favourite songs was "I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden" - she used to sing it and say it to me over the years. When I was a teenager she sent me a postcard with a picture of a rose garden on one side, and she had scrawled "I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden' on the other. It was just like her to subvert the cliche refusal to provide a rose garden, into the statement of the gift of a rose garden, and to exploit the simultaneously opposite meanings of the one statement. That was her forte.
As a linguist I studied the phenomenon of the 'auto-antonym' - an ambiguous word that has two meanings, which contradict each other. Janet enjoyed hearing about my discovery of these - but of course it wasn't news to her at all. Her protagonist in Towards Another Summer is called "Grace Cleave", and cleave is an auto-antonym, the opposite of itself. Bind to, and separate from.
If your preoccupation is in being or defending those who are "socially isolated", you read Grace Cleave as incapable of connection, and you read her as Janet. But if you don't also get the double meaning of 'cleave', then half of what Frame is telling you is going "whoosh" over your head. Even if Frame was Cleave, she would still have to be the other meaning of Cleave, the one you're missing.
I'm not trying to say that your Janet, if you have one, is wrong. I would like you to consider that your Janet is only a part of the real Janet. I'm glad your Janet is a hero to you, and that you find inspiration from her deep knowledge and understanding of and compassion for the things and people that move you. You seem to think that was all she was though, and that you can define her by one part of who she was or could be. She was all that - but she was also more than that.
Silence has found a voice
Janet chats with the Prime Minister and the Minister for Arts, Culture & Heritage, 2003
Janet Frame's supposed 'silence' for her last 15 years of life isn't really surprising, once you realise she was already 65 years old when in 1989 she published the last of over 20 titles released in her lifetime.
65 is generally regarded in NZ as an appropriate retirement age. Unlike many authors who earn their living doing other jobs, and look forward to their retirement so that they can concentrate on their writing at last, Janet Frame had achieved her ambition of living as a full time writer. Her publishing career had been very prolific.
From her mid-60s onward, she had increasingly bad health, successfully battling cancer, heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. But despite poor physical health she was blessed with extraordinary stamina, and she was kept very busy administering her extensive oeuvre, including overseeing new editions, translations, permissions and adaptations, and engaging in publicity both for her own work and for the King and Campion projects. She gave many years of effort to cooperate with her biographer, and also consulted on film-maker Jane Campion's fictionalised version of her life.
Janet meets the three fictional Janets on the film set
The 2 books on Frame produced by King, and the Campion movie, including the publication of the film script, all depended on Janet Frame's intensive input, and can hardly be called an indication of 'silence' on her part. Her collaborations required much time, interaction, and generosity in providing published and unpublished material for the biographer to quote, and in consulting on and approving the film adaptation of her autobiography.
But even if one subscribes to the point of view that Frame's full and active retirement could have been described as 'silent', then she is making up for her own publishing hiatus now!
In the less than 5 years since her death her Estate has released a posthumous collection of poems, a novel, and two magnificent formerly unpublished stories. Janet Frame herself set up the conditions for this return to publishing.
Janet Frame had always found the publication process unpleasant; she didn't like being the centre of attention and she didn't like being distracted from her writing. She had been especially disillusioned about further publication by the initial mixed reception to her last novel The Carpathians. An unpleasant audit by the tax department had also left her feeling alienated.
She did several times over those 15 years seem to be close to supplying a new title - but always pulled back. It was no secret that she had a store of unpublished work, and that she was also still writing. By this stage she didn't want to revisit the older manuscripts - they could wait till after her death. She was being pressured to produce the much more saleable prose work, but she preferred to work on her poetry. This clash between the work she wanted to publish and the the more marketable work her publishers wanted, may also have contributed to a stalemate that meant nothing more was published saved a few individual poems.
In any case, she didn't have to publish any more, to survive - she didn't need the money, and she didn't welcome the sometimes hostile reviews her work attracted, especially in her home country, and especially when there was non-local content.
She liked the thought of posthumous work appearing; the life beyond the grave seemed to her to be a fitting continuation of the career of a serious writer.

Stonehouse Lane was the only way of reaching the peninsula by road and at the time of the foundation of the Stonehouse Turnpike Trust in 1784, it was described as being 'miserable, narrow, and founderous'. It was improved that year and thus formed a valuable link to the Stonehouse Bridge, which had been erected in 1764.
The Trust succeeded in obtaining two further Acts of Parliament, in 1805, under which what became Union Street was constructed across the former marshland, and 1821. Another Act, which received the Royal Assent on May 15th 1822, authorized new trustees to be elected and new toll rates to replace the old ones. The Act was also used to regulate the stands and fares of Hackney coaches and carts using their highway. The Trust was responsible for four highways but only the first, through modern King Street, Clarence Place, High Street, Stonehouse Bridge and Devonport Hill 'to the theatre in the town of Plymouth Dock, in Stoke Damerel parish', came directly into Devonport. Their fourth road, later named Union Street and Edgcumbe Street, officially ended at the eastern side of the Stonehouse Bridge.
Even though the tollhouses and toll-gates were auctioned in August 1843 (they raised £392), the Plymouth and Stonehouse Roads and Transport Act of that year brought the dissolution of the Stonehouse Turnpike Trust, which held its final meeting on Friday September 29th 1843, with Mr Thomas Gardner in the Chair. The Clerk of the Trust, Mr Henry Woollcombe, read their final report. After Mr Oldrey had proposed a vote of thanks to the Clerk 'for his zeal and ability in the discharge of the duties of his office', seconded by Mr Hancock, the Chairman announced the dissolution of the Stonehouse Turnpike Trust and the meeting separated.
