Investigation of the Department of Corrections in relation to the transport of prisoners
Systemic investigations Tue 29 Aug 2006
Under the Ombudsmen Act 1975, it is a function of the Ombudsmen to investigate complaints relating to matters of administration affecting persons in their personal capacity against various bodies, including the Department of Corrections (the Department). Pursuant to this Act, the Ombudsmen have power to investigate complaints by prisoners about all aspects of their detention by the Department. On 25 August 2006, prisoner Liam Ashley died as a result of injuries sustained while being transported in a van with other prisoners. Liam was aged 17, and had been the subject of violence by a 25 year old prisoner who was subsequently convicted of Liam's murder. The Corrections Act 2004 aims to ensure that "custodial sentences and related orders … are administered in a safe, secure, humane, and effective manner". It is a fundamental responsibility of the Department to achieve this.
Request for advice and 'think piece' on reprioritisation or savings in Vote Education
Disclosure of internal discussion documents and advice to Ministers would prejudice ongoing decision making process—disclosure of internal 'think piece' would inhibit future expression of free and frank opinions by officials—ss 9(2)(f)(iv) and 9(2)(g)(i) provide good reason to withhold
Ministry of Social Development should make ex-gratia payment for accidental disclosure of an informant's identity
Case notes Mon 1 May 2006
Whether Child Youth and Family (CYF), a service of the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) which received information from an informant about alleged offending by another individual, was reasonable to accidentally disclose the identity of this informant to the alleged offender – Ombudsman found CYF's procedures for protecting the identity of informants had not been followed in this case

'Henry Cavill's Return as Superman' – What Is The Reason Behind?
Henry Cavill is the most loveable man in the industry for many reasons. It feels like just a week ago we begging to see him in the DC cinematic universe after his glorious performance as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher. Sadly we won't get him as the yellow-eyed Geralt but, luckily have him back in the red cape. Just another case of 'being careful about what you wish for. In Black Adams, Henry Cavill's return was not just any big comeback.
Dwayne Johnson struggled Several petitions and a six-year-long by played a huge part in all of this. Fans were reluctant to the idea of another actor playing Superman, but Dwayne Johnson's perseverance to bring back Henry Cavill as Superman. He tried his best to back Henry Cavill in his anti-hero movie which is very understandable. Someone else also had a huge part in Cavill's return to the DC cinematic universe while the Black Adams lead actor has spoken of this struggle candidly in various interviews.
Henry Cavill has Zack Snyder to thank for giving him one of the greatest roles of his career but he also played a huge part in Cavill's 2022 return to DC as Superman. Fans furiously tweet the #ReleaseTheSynderCut in 2021after seeing the disastrous mustache-less CGI version of Henry Cavill in Justice League. In case you were too occupied with that then we have got news for you.
After seeing him in Justice League fans lost all faith in Henry Cavill as Superman. We would probably never even want to see Cavill in his red cape again if it weren't for the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League.
ALSO READ: "It feels like a real adult relationship" – Millie Bobby Brown talked about How Henry Cavill Is Different
Since 2016, Dwayne Johnson has been trying to bring back Cavill ever and we would have never seen Cavill in his red cape again if it wasn't for the positive response to the Snyder cut of Justice League.
The fact is almost as fascinating that Johnson fought for six years to bring Cavill. Just one month before the movie was finalized Cavill's scenes were shot. Zack Snyder's Justice League was the constitution if Dwayne Johnson were the president of the Henry Cavill DC return. It could not have happened without Dwayne Johnsoneither and Henry Cavill.

'Human Capital' Fails to Fully Capitalize on Its Humanity (TIFF 2019)
Human Capital, which premiered at TIFF this week, is the fifth film from director Marc Meyers, responsible for the well-received My Friend Dahmer that made the festival rounds several years ago. Human Capital is a remake of an Italian movie, loosely based on a Stephen Amidon novel, and focuses on the lives of two families and those connected to them, detailing the events of several days from different perspectives until it focusses on a car accident and its aftermath.
The overlapping narratives open with Drew (Liev Schreiber), a real estate agent with a pregnant wife, Ronnie (Betty Gabriel), and a recalcitrant teenage daughter, Shannon (Maya Hawke). Shannon is dating Jamie (Fred Hechinger), the eldest son of Carrie (Marisa Tomei) and Quint (Peter Sarsgaard), a former horror film actress and her hedge-fund broker husband. Drew begs Quint to let him invest in the hedge fund and winds up borrowing three hundred thousand dollars from a local bank to finance his investment, despite having a failing business and two children on the way. Meanwhile, Carrie is attempting to convince her husband to invest in a local cinema that she wants to transform into an art center, while Shannon meets and falls for Ian (Alex Wolff), a troubled former drug dealer. The narratives close in on each other, bringing each character into involvement with the event that opens the film: a hit and run accident that puts a waiter in a coma.
Human Capital's overlapping structure is hardly unique, but it doesn't pretend to be. Rather it's a question of what the film does with those narratives, and whether the content justifies the split-up structure. The performances are excellent across the board—though, amazingly, the men have the most limited and one-note roles. Sarsgaard is in his usual charming creep mode and he plays it well (as he always does), but Quint is the only main character who doesn't get a split narrative. An arc is hinted at—he departs for New York at one point and comes back desperate and frightened—but is never followed through on. This has the effect of leaving him as mostly the film's villain, a vague figure who terrifies his son, condescends to his wife, and doesn't much care who he ruins. Schreiber, despite opening the film, likewise receives relatively short shrift, setting up the conflict without doing much more.
The two most powerful narrative arcs belong to Carrie and Shannon, helped along by Tomei's undoubted ability to combine pathos with self-centeredness, and Hawke's rising stardom. As the story builds to its fairly inevitable conclusion, they're revealed as characters pushed along by the needs of men; their attempts at resistance and self-actualization turn to merely shifting their allegiances to other, often more damaging men. If anything, Human Capital becomes, almost in spite in itself, a story about the underclasses exploited by powerful people—anyone who is not a straight white (rich) man comes to grief, or is forced to support the fears and anxieties of straight white men.
The strong performances do not entirely rescue Human Capital, however, which is a good film that might have been a much better one. The narrative device is ultimately simplistic (nothing wrong with that) that doesn't wind up justifying itself by creating increased narrative tension (something wrong with that). It's certainly hard to care about the trials of exceptionally rich white people, but the film's insistence on emphasizing its other characters undercut this element, at least to a degree. However, by not offering any further perspective on Quint or some of the minor characters, including the injured waiter, it minimizes the story's effect on the audience, as though what happens to them all just sort of…happens, simply the nature of market forces and not really anyone's fault. Other than in the elements of Shannon's arc—which spends a little too much time on rebellious teenage love—there's little moral quandary for the characters: they do what they do because that's what people like them do, and what happens to them happens because that's how things happen.
Human Capital is made by its performances, but its performances expose how banal the structure and plot are at base. It's far from a failure, but there's something missing to elevate beyond an entertaining, well-directed film about relatively unpleasant rich people. It's hard to care about characters driven by, well, nothing. This cast gives it their all, but they really deserved better.

The Ragged People: a story of the post-plague years by Nick Gifford
Life in the refugee camp is hard for Dan and his brother Rick. They sleep huddled together with a thousand other refugees in an enormous warehouse, and they spend all day queuing for food and water and medicine, watched over by soldiers in anti-contamination masks. And all around them, people are dying: dying from hunger, dying from one of the new plagues, or dying simply because they have lost the will to live.
Selected from a line-up by the intimidating Mr Wiley, the boys leap at a chance to leave the camp and go to live in the Brightwell Community, but their hopes are soon dashed. Is a life of forced labour in a land at the mercy of raiding gangs and ever-mutating plagues really any better than the UN refugee camp had been?
A gripping post-apocalypse story of two brothers struggling to survive in a Britain devastated by biological warfare, from the author of the bestselling vampire novel Piggies.

Monday 12 March 1659/60
This day the wench rose at two in the morning to wash, and my wife and I lay talking a great while. I by reason of my cold could not tell how to sleep. My wife and I to the Exchange, where we bought a great many things, where I left her and went into London, and at Bedells the bookseller's at the Temple gate I paid 12l. 10s. 6d. for Mr. Fuller by his direction. So came back and at Wilkinson's found Mr. Sheply and some sea people, as the cook of the Nazeby and others, at dinner. Then to the White Horse in King Street, where I got Mr. Buddle's horse to ride to Huntsmore to Mr. Bowyer's, where I found him and all well, and willing to have my wife come and board with them while I was at sea, which was the business I went about. Here I lay and took a thing for my cold, namely a spoonful of honey and a nutmeg scraped into it, by Mr. Bowyer's direction, and so took it into my mouth, which I found did do me much good.

about the nutmeg -
by Sam's description, it would seem that the nutmeg solution is a new one on him... i seem to remember reading somewhere that a good quantity of it could produce somewhat of a natural high. Does anybody know any more about this, especially in relation to the time. I don't think food and drink has covered it yet..
Keith Wright on 13 Mar 2003 • Link
[Gabriel] Bedell (d. 1668). Bookseller and publisher, at Middle Temple Gate; fl. from 1646.
---thus the Companion, complete, p. 24; apparently he appears only in the 1660 diary. As for the source, anybody have a copy of Henry R. Plomer's "A Dictionary of Printers and Booksellers in England, Scotland and Ireland," Vol. 1, 1640-67 (Oxford: Bibliographical Society, 1907) ready to hand?
Alan Bedford on 13 Mar 2003 • Link
The "White Horse" may have been a stable, given that Sam went there to get Mr. Buddle's horse. Huntsmore may have been a town or parish. It certainly was too far to walk, but seems to be an easy half-day round trip on horseback, since he left after the midday meal.

Chez Bowyer in Huntsmore boarding arrangements...
Why, with all the friends and relatives around, is Pepys packing son épouse off to la maison Bowyer…
Is there something I've missed and what is it that Bowyer does or is that makes Sam decide on that address.
Was there a French-speaking person in that household; was Elizabeth friends with someone in the household; was Bowyer a strict moralizing type who would ensure Elizabeth was kept in puritan purdah?
Also, who looks after the blackbird and household menagerie in Sam and Elizabeth's absence…the "wench"?
And what of Huntsmore? Where was it? Is Bowyer's quartier more pastoral or did it feature 'healthier' surrounds or fresher air than axe yard?
(As I noted previously, SO FAR I am reluctantly resisting 'reading ahead' or checking on later entries in L&M, which is also why I'm denying myself the pleasures of the companion but I shall probably emulate Sam quite soon and break my resolutions—repeatedly!)
Oops! I should have paid more attention. Looks like Sam spent the night at Mr. Boywer's in/at Huntsmore. By the way, there is a Huntsmore house in or near Shackleford, in Surrey County. Might that be the place? (Anyone have a copy of L & M?)
Okay, Huntsmore is/was a hamlet in the parish of Iver, Buckinghamshire, mentioned in "Magna Brittania" (1806), quoted at: http://met.open.ac.uk/genuki/big/eng/BKM/Iver/Ind…
"Thorney is the principal hamlet in the parish; Riskins, Sutton, Shredding-Green, Grist, Bengers, Delaford, and Huntsmore, are in the parish."
For my fellow non-Brits, it's west from London, maybe 20 air miles from Sam's home in London (just northwest of Heathrow Airport.)

Of course, there was a rather famous "White Horse Tavern" where Anglican reformers met to debate theology and other such issues, but I believe that may have been in Oxford.

Boarding with the Bowyers
Surely Sam is simply making prudent arrangements for Elizabeth's safety whilst he is away. With the benefit of hindsight, we know that the move towards restoration of the monarchy is going to be successful and relatively trouble free, but the political situation in London is not yet firmly settled in March 1660. Sam may well feel that his wife will be safer 20 miles out of London than lodged with either set of parents, neither of whom is 'in the loop' where political developments are concerned.
Sam Dodsworth on 13 Mar 2003 • Link
Nutmeg is a 'natural high', but not very popular because the effective dose is very close to the level that produces toxic symptoms. In any case, you'd need at least an entire nutmeg to produce any kind of effect - Pepys is just using a few gratings.
There's no obvious reason why nutmeg should help, and no strong tradition that I know of for nutmeg as a herbal medicine. If it works at all, it's probably as an aromatic to clear the head in the manner of Eucalyptus.

RE: Boarding with the Bowyers
Sam, who appears to have consulted his father for advice, would have two big reasons that I can think of for shipping Elizabeth out of London:
(1) Personal safety. People already are approaching him because they know he's Mountagu's man. People will know Sam is out of town. Burglary, robbery and rape would be the big worries, I suppose. But that's a reason for getting the women lodging in a home with trustworthy men, not for getting them out of London. The situation is a bit more dangerous because there are a lot of soldiers around. The dangers stemming from the political situation would be a riot, mutiny or clash of armies -- all reasons to be out of London. (He MUST have been able to make arrangements for her to stay in London if he wanted to -- even Mountagu's Whitehall lodgings would be available, although, oddly, Mountagu himself isn't staying there for some reason.)
(2) Adultery. That's far easier in the city than in the countryside. Particularly with all those young men in uniform -- boisterous, often drunk, probably flirting with women on the streets and in the taverns, looking for someone different from the whores they have to pay. Sam must be having nightmares. I doubt he would have brought up the subject of adultery with her. It seems to me that he put off telling her about his trip and about his arrangements for her to avoid arguing with her about any of it. Perhaps there was a similar argument before his voyage to the Baltic in the spring of 1659.
Joe on 13 Mar 2003 • Link
Sea Voyage
Do we (or indeed does Sam) have any idea how long the voyage will be?
Re: Sea Voyage
Well, I'm sure that some folks around here have read ahead, so they know how long Sam will be at sea. You and I have not, so we'll have to wait.
Sam knows he's going to pick up King Charles in France, and it's going to be ceremonial, so it will probably take longer than usual. Plus, he'll be on the ship as long as Mountagu wants him there.
(Besides, the Hoverspeed hasn't been invented yet, so we know it'll take a lot longer than two hours!)
Jean-Paul: Thanks!
So this is not the King St. we've become familiar with, running through Whitehall in Westminster, but a totally different King St., now called Kingly St., east of Regent St. just below Oxford St.
About that book
EXPENSIVE: That book, at 12l.10s.1d., is almost a quarter of his annual Exchequer salary. He's clearly feeling like he's just won the lottery. But if he's worried about the dangers of the trip, it's hardly the most prudent step to be taking. If he died, Elizabeth would clearly be better off with the money.
WHICH BOOK? On Feb. 15, Pepys read "The church-history of Britain" by Thomas Fuller for two hours at a bookseller's at St. Paul's, so it's a pretty good guess that that's the one he bought today. Latham & Matthews tell us he liked to read that book on Sundays and that he kept it in his library (it's probably at Magdalene now). I can't find a reference to this day in the L&M index volume either under Fuller (p 25) or "books insufficiently identified" (p 29). Three other books of Fuller's are mentioned in the diary, none as frequently as this one.
HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU: The "by his direction" may mean he was being given a limited-time offer for that price from the bookseller, Bedell (as if he were a car salesman -- in fact, it all sounds like the purchase of an expensive car after a big job promotion). I bet he even bought it on credit.
Fred Bacon on 14 Mar 2003 • Link
Paid for Mr. Fuller by his direction
Perhaps I am wrong, but I believe that Mr. Fuller asked Sam to settle a bill for him at the booksellers. According to the background info, Mr. Fuller is a close friend of Montague's and an acquaintance of Sam's. I don't believe that Sam shelled out 12l of his own.
KVK on 14 Mar 2003 • Link
Actually, isn't this more likely to be *William* Fuller, the schoolmaster at Twickenham whose pupils include two of Montagu's children? Fuller was only a schoolmaster for two years, 1659-1661, so he's probably teaching Montagu's children right now.
I doubt Thomas Fuller's history cost 12 pounds. I don't have good information on book prices in 1660, but I don't think they would have changed much from 1641. The Cambridge history of literature notes:
http://www.bartleby.com/214/1828.html
"A curious tract entitled Scintilla, or a Light broken into darke Warehouses, published anonymously in 1641, throws some interesting light on the doings of the monopolists and the way in which they had raised the prices of the books which they had gotten into their grasp. Church Bibles, which formerly cost thirty shillings, are now, it is said, raised to two pounds, and large folio Bibles in roman print, which used to sell at 12s. 6d., now cost twenty shillings. The prices of other editions, before being raised, were: the Cambridge quarto Bible, with Psalms, 7s., the London quarto Bible, with notes and concordance, also 7s., and Bibles in octavo, 3s. 4d. Testaments in octavo cost 10d., and in duodecimo, 7d.; the Book of Common Prayer, 3s. in folio, and 1s. 6d. in quarto. "
Book prices, Fullers
Good points on book prices, KVK. You've convinced me. Here's another book price: Pepys buys a "great book of songs" from Playford on 13 Feb. "which he sells always for 14s." Sam may just be paying a bill.
But it could just as easily be the author Thomas Fuller he's referring to: This Fuller is "patronized by the Mountagus of Boughton" according to the L&M Companion volume. This May, Pepys mentions meeting with this Thomas Fuller (there's also another Thomas Fuller). The L&M index has no page reference for today's entry in any of the three Fuller listings.
Paid for Mr. Fuller
Fred Bacon is undoubtedly right; Sam is settling Fuller's outstanding account at the bookseller's on Fuller's own instructions.

"Sam knows he's going to pick up King Charles in France"
Charles Stuart at this stage had departed France, and was residing in the Dutch city, (at that time no more than a small town) of The Hague. So it is to Holland that Sam will be sailing to collect the King.

Fuller and the bookseller
If you remember, a Mr Fuller produced some bills on the 23rd February but Pepys didn't have any cash to pay him.
http://www.pepysdiary.com/diary/1660/02/23/
The Fuller from 23rd February was "forced to travel in the Catholic countries" and so is most likely to be Willam Fuller who was expelled from Christ Church Oxford, during the revolution and who is teaching Montagu's son in Twickenham.
Perhaps today's transaction is settling those bills.
Phil on 14 Mar 2003 • Link
Re: Fuller. My mistake. I've changed the link to point to William Fuller, rather than Thomas.
Are we sure it is William and not Thomas?
Nix on 14 Mar 2003 • Link
Twelve and a half pounds seems like a lot of debt for book purchases -- a quarter of a respectable middle class man's annual income. Perhaps Bedell the bookseller was also acting as a banker, making cash advances for Fuller's benefit.
I'm in Fuller retreat!
KVK wonders (just above) if we can be sure it's William Fuller that Pepys is talking about -- we can't. There just isn't enough information. I'd personally prefer it if we somehow could have links between this entry and pages for all three Fullers.
Roger Miller's annotation shows that William Fuller is the most likely candidate. (L&M identify him as the Fuller of 23 Feb. who Pepys can't pay.) An arrangement for Mountagu to pay off one of Fuller's/Twickenham's London debts works to Mountagu's and Fuller's advantage. Only Bedell is left holding the IOU for a few more weeks.
The Fullers, all ministers, are a bit confusing. The Thomas Fuller who is NOT an author is fellow of Christ's College Cambridge [don't be confused with William Fuller's association with Christ College, OXFORD]. This non-author Thomas Fuller was the one who described Widdrington's quarrelsome relations at Cambridge to Pepys at the end of the 21 Feb. entry. L&M have no entry for him in the Companion volume, but the index volume shows this Fuller appearing in the diary only six more times, all in 1664. (By that point, the other Thomas Fuller, the author, has already passed on to a Better World.

Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I missed where we have read that Sam knows he's going to pick up the King? Which day's entry said that?
I expect we'll soon be reading Sam's account of the voyage...
For a comparison, the modern ferry trip from Hull to Rotterdam takes about fifteen hours, overnight. The crossings from East Anglia are somewhat quicker. But these modern ships are much faater than any 17th Century warship. It could take all day to get from London to the mouth of the Thames.
Even at this time of year, the North Sea can be rough and stormy. One thing we sometimes forget, as modern readers, is how much more effect weather could have on travel. Monck, for instance, as a General-at-Sea, and as a General, would be well aware, when he arrived in London, of how long it would be before he needed to commit himself to the Restoration, or not. He had until spring at least, to concentrate on London and the Parliament.

I've missed it too, Michael L.
Has the reason for this voyage been stated? As for how long a voyage, might it just be getting the ship out there to be in place as events unfold? Time dependent on what happens?
"...Has the reason for this voyage been stated?...."
I haven't see a direct reference; as noted previously, Sam is quite subtle, usually very discrete and habitually indirect about affairs of state in which he is potentially in the know--until they actually happen.
Also, if you accept Fenton and others' pt-of-view--ie. that Sam is writing for posterity--then you'll appreciate he likes to keep some drama in his narrative.
Psychologically, Sam is going on a voyage over which he has no control: in that day and age there were no guarantees that a calamity--natural or man-made--might not wreck everything...or that the King might choose another means of return...
Q: will Sam take his diary book on board ship? Or will he make notes surreptitiously and then write up his days at sea and abroad upon his return?
Re: White Horse in King Street.
Well, this may be in Westminster after all! There is a White Horse Yard in King Street, Westminster, in 1717, mentioned at
http://hri.shef.ac.uk/db/bailey/gadvert.jsp?dc=17…
in Advertisement from Old Bailey Proceedings; Sir James Bateman, Wednesday 17th July 1717,1-8, I quote:
"WE Charles and Mary Pearce , who keep the Derby Alehouse in White -horse -yard in Kingstreet, Westminster, do hereby affirm , that our Child was so very ill with its Teeth, that it lay (as we thought and expected in Sorrow and Tears) ready to expire. We sent for the ANODINE NECKLACE, Recommended by Dr. Chamberlen, sold at the Golden Key over against the King's Arms Tavern in Kingstreet, Westminster, and put it about its Neck: It had not wore it above half an Hour, but the Child got up upon his Feet to play, to our great Amazement, and has ever since so visibly recover'd and thriv'd that thro' God's Blessing he is now a brave healthy lusty Boy; of the Truth of which we are ready to satisfy any Person that desires it. July 16,1717."
Furthermore, in 1733, there is a White Horse Inn in Westminster (no mention of King Street here) at
http://hri.shef.ac.uk/db/bailey/gtrial.jsp?id=t17…
in William Brown , Joseph Whitlock , theft: burglary, 05 Dec 1733, quote:
"Court. How were you apprehended?
Mitchell. I and the two Prisoners took Horse at the White-Horse-Inn, in Westminster, about seven in the Morning (I forgot the Day of the Month, but it's within these three Weeks) we rode directly to Fulham, over the new Bridge to Putney, so to Kingston-Bridge, and thro' Hampton-Court, to Stains, where we din'd."
Final note (hopefully!): No White Horse Yard or Inn appears on the 1746 and the 1792 London maps. So?...

Re: nutmeg and honey
Nutmeg might (slightly) make you feel good, but the soothing effect is probably from the honey.
Honey has a number of antibacterial and antifungal properties; some understood and some not. In particular, most honeys contain a fair amount of hydrogen peroxide. They also contain vitamin C.
So, the "folk wisdom" of adding honey to your tea when you are ill has some merit.

Interesting, that the republican folks didn't think about changing street names after executing their king. This is more than 10 years after they beheaded Charles I and still no-one seems to be bothered that there still is a King Street in the heart of Westminster. And as far as I can see there was no Cromwell Square or the like in London then. Would be hard to imagine to have a Rue Royale in Paris under Robespierre or any streets named after Tsars in Russia under Lenin.

Sam says that he and his wife went to the Exchange. The link leads to the New Exchange, on the south side of the Strand. There was also a Royal Exchange, on Cornhill Street, beyond the eastern end of Cheapside. I take it we know that Sam is talking about the New Exchange because its annotations say that it was open to men and women both, while the Royal Exchange was for gentlemen only?

New Exchange = retail "mall"
Royal Exchange = City of London centre for major trade, import/export, commodities, shipping etc.
They serve different functions.

Per Keith Wright's suggestion above and thanks to Google Books, here's Plomer's information about Bedell the printer:
BEDELL (GABRIELL), bookseller in London; Middle Temple Gate, Fleet Street, 1646-68. Is first met with on November 7th, 1646, when, in partnership with Mercy Meighen, q.v., the widow of Richard Meighen, he made an entry in the Registers of the Company of nineteen books which had formerly belonged to R. Meighen. Twelve of these were plays. Later, however, they appear to have dealt principally in law books. In 1650 they took Thomas Collins, q.v., as third partner. In 1654 Mercy Meighen died, and G. Bedell is found in partnership with R. Marriot, T. Garthwayte and J. Crooke, but eventually he and T. Collins settled down together and a list of 86 books, arranged under subjects, published by them in 1656 occurs at the end of T. Goffe's Three excellent Tragedies. Gabriell Bedell died on February 27th, 1967/8 "by taking a cup of poyson, as is reported."

All diary entries from March 1660


LONDONDERRY -- A candidates forum held at Town Hall on Saturday morning gave residents an opportunity to meet this year's election seekers up close and personal.
Both residents and members of the local media were invited to participate in the fourhour event, which was also broadcast on the local access cable channels. Despite forecasts of snow and freezing rain later that afternoon, around 20 residents attended the event.
During the forum, moderated by former town councilor Joe Paradis, reporters and residents had a chance to ask the candidates questions.
This year's three Town Council candidates, Deborah Shimkonis Nowicki, Tom Freda and Joe Green, were present at Saturday's forum. Nowicki, Freda and Green will vie for the two open council seats next month.
The council candidates answered questions about various hot topics, including the pending Woodmont Commons development, the town's open space program, maintaining a level budget, and the change to official ballot voting that's being considered by voters this year.
Nowicki, who ran unsuccessfully for town clerk/tax collector last year, said her goal as a new councilor would be to "ignite the flame" among fellow residents.
"What we already have is right at the airport," she added, suggesting an international trade hub at the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport would be a great place to start.
Candidate Tom Freda, who previously served on the budget committee, said that the town's number of foreclosures is a testament to the challenges faced by many residents.
"More and more of our fellow citizens are suffering, so we need to bring some fiscal conservatives here in town," said Freda, who is an attorney and certified public accountant.
Asked about the question appearing on this year's warrant, where voters will be asked if traditional town meeting should be replaced with official ballot voting, Freda said he'd favor such a change.
Candidate Joe Green, who serves on the Zoning Board and previously on the budget committee, agreed on the need for fiscal conservancy. This year marks Green's third time running for Town Council.
Asked about the town's priority of preserving open space, Green agreed on its importance but noted that around 13 percent of the town is preserved under conservation easements or other protective methods.
Four School Board candidates — incumbent John Robinson, Glenn Douglas, Nancy Hendricks and Todd Joncas — attended the Feb. 5 forum. Next month the four residents will vie for the two open School Board seats.
Robinson, who has served on the School Board for the past three years, previously served on the town's Budget Committee and had spent one year in the state Legislature.
With the district's deliberative session quorum requirement being challenged by a resident lawsuit, Robinson said he disagreed that the quorum prohibits community input.
Douglas, who runs the Londonderry Town Underground website, said a longtime career in international high tech has given him a glimpse of how other nations handle education.
Hendricks, who previously served on the Jaffrey/Rindge School Board, moved to Londonderry about five years ago. She said she favors the district's existing deliberative session quorum of 500.
"I recognize getting people to go anywhere is a challenge, but I think a quorum will protect our budget and bond issues from any group of people that can dramatically alter it," Hendricks said.
"We need the objectivity to look at everything," he emphasized. With that, he noted that despite the trend of declining enrollment, future development could change everything.
This year's town openings also include two three-year terms on the budget committee, two three-year terms on the trustees of the Leach Library, and one three-year term on the trustees of the trust funds.
Velliquette and Donald Moskowitz will both vie for the sole opening on the trustees of the trust funds.
All of those candidates were present Saturday morning, with the exception of Goodman, who was unable to attend.

MIT-GSW was conducted at Novotel, HICC Hyderabad, Telangana, INDIA, 21-23 March, 2016.
March 27, 2016FeaturesComments: 0
INNOVATE and THRIVE
While the Make in India and Digital India campaign picks up the momentum in India, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Global Start-up Workshop, MIT -GSW had been quite timely to engage more than 350 aspiring entrepreneurs in a three day sessions to hone their ICT talent and respective entrepreneurial skills to pull off successful ventures in the Digital World to provide solutions to the real-life challenges. Largely focused on 'Women in Entrepreneurship' this workshop did attempt how to ring in innovation in products, service using Information and Communication Technologies, ICT at the core.
Inaugurated by the Kalraj Mishraji, MSME Minster, Government of India the workshop deliberated various phases and pain points in a Start-Up ecosystem and how to confidently negotiate them to achieve the preferred objective. It is time that the Government of India initiates many such to encourage the impact on the India's gross domestic product (GDP) growth trajectory so as to garner results near-instantaneously.
"This is very different from the entrepreneurship conference I have been to, I have learned a lot interacting with the GSW speakers like Chris Howard, Libboo founder and Ketan Makwana, Serial Entrepreneur, special Advisor to UK Prime Minister" said, Bhawin Kabra, Independent Research Associate, Department of Economics, Yale University.
The focus of the MIT –GSW, 2016 was to redirect the growth trajectory of the Start-Up company from starting and selling to a sustainable business and build a growth culture around it," said Sunil MayReddy, founder of the Catalyzer. Hosted in cooperation with the MIT and Catalyzer Start-Up Accelerator, powered by Confederation of Women Entrepreneurs of India, COWE, for the first time in India, this workshop had attracted delegates from 70 countries to showcase the ideas over disruptive technologies that could shift the course of Digital Empowerment in India, presumably across the Globe as well. Insightful conversations and discussions around entrepreneurial opportunities in Information and Communication Technology, tips and how to go about mechanism were imparted to the selected Start-ups at the event.
MIT-GSW had two engaging panel discussions on Start-up opportunities in medical field, resources to tap into the potential Indian health market and reach out to the remote part of the country. Impact Entrepreneurship stressed on social business that bring about a vast change in the line of education, waste management and disaster management and affect a change at the base of the pyramid by working together with the NGO's and the government.
In a key note address R. Chidambaram, Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India observed that there is a need in India for Hi-Tech manufacturing through realizing Missile programme and Satellite launch projects. Incentives need to be given to the Start-Ups in the sector –specific production at various facilities with amiable government policy to help establish and sustain the eco-system. However IP, Intellectual Property could be a game changer in the long run.
In a "Value Proposition of the Start-Ups" by Ketan Makwana, a serial entrepreneur, UK urged the attendees to have a knack to comprehend customer behavior and change approach based on the same.
Emphasizing on the importance to beget readiness ensured before the phase to approach the investor by a Start-Up , Chris Howard, founder of Libboo felt the need to have a 'Hacker', Hipster, and a 'Hustler' on the team keen to change the dynamics of the venture.
Interestingly the panel on the funding for the Start-Up felt that funds were quite important for a fledgling start-up and the fund allocation for a any such depends upon the team behind the Start-Up. Incidentally, financial and Infrastructure enablers were discussed where various schemes, subsidies and policies of the government were highlighted that support the start-ups through the first few stages of development. State bank of India, SBI had enlisted a few initiatives to help MSME and start-up ventures. Statutory compliances should be simplified for the Start-Ups," observed a panelist who shared his thoughts on the Hi-Tech Manufacturing in India.
Jayesh Ranjan, IT Secretary, Government of Telangna stressed upon the steps taken up by the state government to leverage the growth of the start-ups and the veracity of T-Hub, the largest incubation facility in India to achieve the desired goal. The capacity of the present T-Hub in Telangana very soon would be expanded.
The moot question however was do MIT –GSW assist the Start-Up companies to expand globally to set up their operations at different points across the Globe? Mili Shah, one of the Organizer of the event from MIT Sloan School of Management, Cambridge, Massachusetts shares, "Yes, it is done in three different ways so to say. Primarily, through Global Competitions, mass Challenge partnerships, two networking and connecting through the Facebook Group and lastly via MIT connections- Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship." MIT Global Start-up Workshop was powered by KGS Advisors, the solution providers for the SME. While NSIC and Citrus were the Silver partners, with PowerHouse Ventures and Mumbai Angels as its Investment Partners.
The workshop concluded on the 23rd, March 2016 with an emphasis on need of innovation, networking, besides elevator pitches and Business plan pitches shared by the participant Start-Up compnaies. It observed that the academia and Industry need to connect extensively to enhance the innovation quotient in the research labs, bring in quality efforts into products and services aligned with the spirit of MIT's founders who believed in "Education for Practical Application".

Lewis Hamilton 'bumped heads' with dad Anthony before sacking him as manager
01/25/2023 Comments Off on Lewis Hamilton 'bumped heads' with dad Anthony before sacking him as manager
Lewis Hamilton opened up about his previously strained relationship with his father, Anthony, after sacking him as his manager.
Anthony Hamilton was the driving force behind his son's career, working multiple jobs to help fund Lewis's junior racing. Anthony was then his son's manager during the early part of his F1 career with McLaren, which saw both highs and lows.
Having been thrust into the sporting limelight at such a young age, their relationship more business than family, prompting Lewis to make the tough decision to find someone else to guide his career away from the track.
READ MORE: Lewis Hamilton on watching brief as 'part-boss' Sir Jim Ratcliffe eyes Man Utd deal
"My dad was my manager when we got to F1. He worked so hard," Hamilton told the On Purpose podcast with Jay Shetty.
"His work ethic was inspiring for me, to see what time he gets up in the morning. The little sleep he would have, endless days in the garage working towards the weekend, packing up the track, learning to be a better mechanic.
"But it was difficult for him to show me love. Sometimes you just want a hug from your dad. You want to be embraced.
"At 22, 23, it got really intense when I got to F1. You don't go to school to learn how to speak to the media. At the time I didn't have PR, anybody to help protect me, or prepare me.
"A lot of mistakes happen. You learn on the go which was difficult for a youngster. You want to live a normal life but nothing is normal.
"Me and my dad bumped heads at one stage. I really just wanted him to be my dad. Let's go and have fun, let's laugh. We hadn't had that for a long, long time.
"I decided to part ways with my dad to make decisions for myself. There was a period where we spoke less."
Will Lewis Hamilton win another F1 title? Tell us in the comments section below
However, that initial distance eventually brought them closer together and their relationship is firmly repaired. Anthony is often seen at Grand Prix weekends and was the first person to console his son following his controversial title defeat to Max Verstappen in 2021.
"We have worked hard to come back together," added Hamilton. "He's now the first person I call when I finish a race.
"There are days when I feel like I'm not enough, I'm not good enough. There are days when I question: 'Can you still be the best?' 'Yes, you can'.
"Sometimes I'll say something that isn't positive but my dad is there to reaffirm, and to be positive."

Right-hander Keone Kela threw his scheduled bullpen session, his fourth on the comeback trail from shoulder soreness, and will be evaluated Tuesday. If all goes well, he could come off the disabled list Wednesday.
Mazara said that he first started dealing with the quad soreness Sept. 3 but had two days off before playing in both ends of Wednesday's doubleheader. He scored from first base in Game 2, with an awkward play at the plate, and then was forced to make a long running catch in the next half-inning.
That did it for him, and he thought he might have a DH day or two over the weekend. Instead, it came Monday, and he doubled in two runs in his first at-bat.


Sorry to be a realist but that won't happen, RSP is dead.
I put my 2 cents worth in again.
This is the 4th list that has been provided to them.
agreed. If we do not push DICE to make make RSP good then they won't. That will mean BF2018 will be a piece of junk because DICE will just use what they have.
Again, this is why I will not pre-order anything involving DICE ever again. As it stands right this moment. I have no plans to buy another Battlefield game. When DICE and EA decide to make a game and give players the online support we need, then I will come back.
Just look at how dismal Star Wars Battlefront 1 wound up being. That set up is what DICE had in mind for BF1.
Look at the dismal sales of preorders for Star Wars Battlefront 2. DOWN 60% just on PC. No RSP, No Join on friends, No admins = No FUN.
That will be DICES direction for bf2018 if we do not continue to push them to better the RSP.
I have been playing since BF1942. By far this is the worst Battlefield game ever produced. I just don't know about this new crew. They are chasing their tails with no clue as to what to do or how to fix anything. Come on, the game has been out for a year now. This should not even be a subject worth talking about by now.
Activision Doesnt care about PC players now DICE seems to be doing the same. Look at PUBG play numbers on PC. 1 million players a day really? Yeah DICE and EA have lost all touch with gamers. Stats don't lie.

Q: OUT or INOUT argument for routine ... is not a variable or NEW pseudo-variable in BEFORE trigger I have a mySQL stored procedure that I'm calling from C#.  I want to return an output parameter that gives me the AutoIncrement key back.
In my stored procedure I have this which should assign the key to the return parameter:
Select Last_Insert_ID() into p_Transaction_ID;

I call using ExecuteNonQuery from c#.  When the command executes I get the following error:

OUT or INOUT argument for routine ... is not a variable or NEW
  pseudo-variable in BEFORE trigger

Searched all morning, but can't figure out why it won't take and return the param.
I do have a work around using ExecuteScalar an just doing "Select Last_Insert_ID()" at the end of the stored procedure.  It's ugly, but works...
I would, however, like to get it working by using a return param.

True, but if you really think about it, almost everything on the board has already been covered at one time or another. BTW, that is not a complaint or a jab, just an observation. A little repetition doesn't bother me at all. But you could make that comment about 90% of threads on the board. I think it would be fun to do a whole thread on people's suggestions of topics we think that have been overdone!
I own an F-body Owsley made by the same man...and it has an odd size, it's bigger than the norm, almost a mandola with a Mandolin scale, I am working out a deal to get the 4 point from Gruhn and that way my Owsley will have a buddy, I'll keep you posted, dy.
Now that's an odd looking scroll!
I have to say, in the nicest way possible, that I don't really like the 4 point. It doesn't flow very well and just looks wierd. Just MHO.
it looks like it was inspired by a bug splat.

CCRA to Integrate OSSN and TRUE by January
Margie Jordan has assumed the role of CCRA vice president of membership services
CCRA Travel Commerce Network has announced plans to fully integrate the Outside Sales Support Network (OSSN) and the Travel Retailer Enumeration Code (TRUE) into the CCRA brand by January 2016.
In October, CCRA will unveil a new all encompassing company website that will feature CCRA's travel agent and agency membership opportunities for both the U.S. and international markets. The existing benefits of OSSN membership will remain, but CCRA's new membership program will also provide travel professionals with access to CCRA's diverse array of travel agent products, services, and educational opportunities for discounted rates. CCRA will also for the first time provide accreditation and identification to travel agencies around the world, backed by the TRUE code, which will remain a separate yet integrated division of CCRA.
Margie Jordan will assume the new role of CCRA's vice president of membership services to oversee all aspects of CCRA's new and enhanced membership experience for travel agents, ranging from independent agents to host agencies, and to assist OSSN members with the transition to CCRA's new consolidated membership structures in January 2016. Effective immediately, Margie Jordan will take over the duties of Gary and Melody Fee, the former president and vice president of OSSN, who have supported CCRA in the company integration initiative since OSSN became a wholly owned subsidiary of CCRA in 2014.
Margie Jordan brings over 15 years' experience as a professional travel agent and successful travel agency owner to her new role at CCRA. She is the founder and CEO of Jordan Executive Travel and serves as an industry leader for educating travel professionals in the areas of entrepreneurship, technology and marketing. She earned her Certified Travel Associate (CTA) designation from The Travel Institute as well as several Destination Specialist (DS) designations. Jordan and her agency have been featured in USA Today, Wall Street Journal, numerous Reuter's news stories, Smart Money Magazine, the Chicago Tribune and The Miami Herald. Since early 2015, Jordan had led CCRA's marketing tools training program for travel professionals and is both a presenter and educator at CCRA's 2015 regional Power Solutions events and the upcoming Home-Based Travel Agent Forum.
CCRA's integrated web presence is currently live and can be accessed at www.ccra.com, however, the new site will not be fully completed until the Home Based Travel Agent Forum that will be held in Tampa, FL, on October 27-30. Now through the end of 2015, the OSSN.com and checkatruecode.com websites will remain active to provide travel agents with an ample amount of time to become more acquainted with the new fully integrated CCRA site.
In addition to a more modernized and sophisticated look and interface, the new CCRA.com site will offer more streamlined navigation and an easier user experience for both travel professionals and suppliers. At this year's Home-Based Travel Agent Forum, travel professionals will receive more information on CCRA's new and improved website and enhanced membership opportunities for travel agents.
New CCRA Membership Options
CCRA's new consolidated membership structures will range from a free membership option that grants travel agent access to CCRA's hotel booking platform and more, to a fully inclusive accredited travel agency membership that includes TRUE accreditation and additional benefits from CCRA. In comparison to the OSSN membership structure, the new CCRA annual membership options will be simplified, offered at discounted rates, and provide a much greater array of travel agent benefits, including educational and online training platforms, discounts on industry trade shows, executive coaching from industry experts, local support at CCRA chapter meetings and more, CCRA said.

Elastic Softening in the Tetrahedrite Cu12Sb4S13

The tetrahedrite Cu12Sb4S13 has a cubic structure above 100 K and is paid attention as thermoelectric materials. At 85 K, a metal-semiconductor phase transition is reported by the electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The origin of the phase transition is not determined yet. To investigate the phase transition at 85 K, we measured elastic modulus using an ultrasonic technique on polycrystalline samples. The longitudinal modulus shows elastic softening from above 300 K, suggesting that there is an instability of the structure or the electronic state. The softening continues down to 85 K, and it turns into increase below 85 K accompanied by hysteresis. The phase transition is of the first-order. The elastic hardening indicates disappearance of the instability by the phase transition.

Medicinal cannabis now legal on prescription
Consultants will be able to prescribe the drug after a campaign by mother Charlotte Caldwell prompted a change in the law.
By Lorna Shaddick, news reporter
Thursday 1 November 2018 11:01, UK
'At no point was there a moment when I wasn't in pain'
Patients in the UK can be prescribed medicinal cannabis from today, if it is agreed by a specialist doctor.
For the first time in this country, consultants have been given the option to prescribe products containing cannabis, cannabis resin or cannabinol, if they feel their patients could benefit from it.
It comes after a summer of campaigning by parents including Charlotte Caldwell, whose son Billy has severe epilepsy.
She went to Canada to procure the cannabis oil she says controls his seizures, but was not allowed to bring it back into the UK.
Her fight to keep the drug led to a policy review by home secretary Sajid Javid who brought in today's law change after advice from experts on the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs and the UK's Chief Medical Adviser.
"For me what started off as a journey which was about the needs of my little boy actually turned into something, proved to be something, a lot bigger. It proved to be the needs of a nation," Charlotte told Sky News.
"Medicinal cannabis gave me back my right as a mummy to hope, but the most important thing medicinal cannabis has done is given Billy back his right to life."

Other patients who have had to get their cannabis illegally up until now agree.
Faye Jones, from Reading, has rheumatoid arthritis and was put on strong chemotherapy drugs to control the pain.
Discovering cannabis, she said, was like "waving a magic wand" - and after being sofa-bound, she can now can get up, go to the gym, and hold down a successful career as an executive assistant.
But, she says, getting hold of the drug on the black market is "expensive and time consuming. Obviously I have to break the law to acquire my medicine.
"I used to bemoan the amount of time I spent sitting in pharmacies waiting to pick up prescriptions when I was first diagnosed - I would absolutely love to go to a pharmacy and pick up a prescription again now."
Sky Views: The cannabis ban is having its last gasp
Carly Barton agrees. A fibromyalgia sufferer from Brighton, she found cannabis ended six years of intense and constant nerve pain.
"I've still been in some states, in agony in the dark, meeting people in parks," she tells Sky News.
"Going to meet people I've never met before in abandoned industrial car parks. And in the middle of night in the dead of winter and I'm on a walking stick and I've got nothing to protect myself.
"I could handle myself, I could get out of a situation like that. But there are a lot of people a lot more vulnerable than I am, or was, being put in that situation.
"Hopefully some of those patients will be able to go to their doctors or go to the chemists where medicine belongs, and go to a place that's safer for them to access."

Thousands have signed our petition for an Independent Leaders' Commission to organise election debates – have you?
The new NHS England guidelines say doctors should only prescribe cannabis-based medicine if other options have been exhausted, for conditions including rare childhood epilepsy and multiple sclerosis as well as to help deal with nausea from chemotherapy drugs.
Only hospital specialists on the General Medical Council register will be able to write such prescriptions.
"I think we're being quite cautious in saying it can only be prescribed by consultants and that's probably a good idea in the first instance," Dr. Saoirse O'Sullivan, an associate professor at the University of Nottingham, says.
"But there's a lot of people who aren't under consultant care that won't now have access. Two of the main reasons people use cannabis is for anxiety and depression, and they're not likely to be under consultant care.
"They're more likely just to be seeing their GP, and GPs won't be able to prescribe cannabis based products. So I think there's going to be a lot of disappointed people."
Image: The recreational use of cannabis will continue to be illegal
Clark French of the United Patients Alliance, which also campaigns for access to cannabis based medicine, thinks more could be done.
"The law change is brilliant and we're really pleased to see movement - but it's by no means enough," he told Sky News.
"A lot of patients are going to want to access cannabis, they're going to be sent to their specialist and the specialists are going to be inundated with requests. Really what the government needs to do is allows GPs to prescribe cannabis as well."
The director for external affairs for MS Society UK, Genevieve Edwards, said: "Today should mark a key milestone for people with MS, which affects more than 100,000 of us in the UK.
"However we're really concerned that nothing will change in the short term for the one in 10 people with MS who could get relief from pain and muscle spasms by using medicinal cannabis.
"We're calling on NHS England to revisit this guidance urgently, and engage with neurological experts to ensure people with MS are not left disappointed and unable to access the right treatment for them."
'Billy can live a normal life'
Some are concerned that allowing medicinal cannabis could normalise the drug for recreational use.
The home secretary says this law change is to help "patients with an exceptional clinical need, but is in no way a first step to the legalisation of cannabis for recreational use."
For Charlotte Caldwell, the issues are entirely separate.
"Never once has it crossed my mind or any of the families that I've spoken to, we've never had thoughts about recreational use, and it's simply because it's all about the needs of - in Billy's case, his medical needs.
"It's all about the need to get my little boy well."

My newest obsession is running marathons, especially with the wonderful men and women at Team in Training.
I strive to find the narrative in each individual experience. Rhythm, pacing and use of sound are key in developing the appropriate feel for each situation. I am not a believer in the one-size-fits-all philosophy. The content of each piece dictates my shooting and editing style.
Trained in lighting for film and video, I often find the most rewarding experiences are those that present themselves in a more natural way, though I'm certainly willing to give nature a hand when it comes to setting a specific mood.
My different experiences in this industry - from coaching student journalists to interviewing the President of the United States, have given me a unique outlook on how this medium can be used. It's with this background that I look forward to finding a meaningful work experience where substance is as important as style.

I work with a diverse group of clients, producing high definition content for the web and television.
Among these are the Napa Valley Vintners, AOL, Runner's World, UCSF and Outside Television. Projects range from internal marketing to public relations, alumni outreach, news and feature work.
Hosted by four teenagers, Eco Company is a national, weekly television show that explores all aspects of being green, from exploring new technologies and explaining green practices, to learning how teenagers are making their own positive impact on the environment.
As the only photographer, and primary editor, I am responsible for all aspects of the show production, working in a fast-paced environment to produce a straight-forward news magazine style show, shot in HD and edited using Final Cut Pro.
My transition from photojournalism to lifestyle programming could not have been better scripted. I was finally able to combine my two passions - wine and television production.
In Wine Country is an award winning, thirty minute lifestyle program produced at KNTV that airs nationally on NBC stations. With a small team of only two producers and two photographer/editors, I was involved in all aspects of the show's production - from shooting and editing to field producing and website management.
The wide range of franchises within the show created a wonderfully diverse palette with which I could explore many different editing and shooting styles and basically create my own canvas. In general our approach to shooting focused on composition and natural lighting techniques with a constant mind for editing while in the field.
During this time I also helped produce, shoot and edit a High Definition production called Where to Go With a Little Dough which featured inexpensive day trips around the Bay Area. The show was hosted by In Wine Country's Mary Babbitt and Bay Area Backroads' Doug McConnell, and aired after the Super Bowl on NBC.
I worked primarily on creating online video profiles for the production team behind the Clone Wars animated series. However, as part of the marketing department we were also responsible for documenting the behind-the-scenes work at Lucas Arts, Lucas Animation and Industrial Light and Magic. Shooting was done with Sony HD and HDV cameras and editing on Avid Symphony.
I returned to television through the news department at KNTV. The pacing and focus was certainly different from the work we did at a national bureau. Editing daily stories on SX laptops in the field while having to operate a live van was a new experience for me. It was here that I became certified as an ENG truck operator and that I worked with some great storytellers that would influence the pacing of some of my future work.
Taking a break form television, in the beginning of 2004 I moved to Napa to pursue my other passion - wine. After 5 months of study at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, I took a job at this (then) start-up winery.
While there I worked with the assistant winemaker/ general manager to open the winery following the release of their inaugural vintage (2001 Cabernet) in May of 2004.
Responsibilities Included:Creating and managing the tasting room and consumer-direct sale programs; acting as liaison to other wineries, local resorts, hotels and restaurants; managing inventory and setting up national shipping protocol; acquiring and maintaining new accounts in Napa, Sonoma, and San Francisco; maintaining all national and international distribution accounts and assisting on all aspects of winemaking for the '04 harvest.
Belo's acquisition of KING broadcasting increased the number of stations to 18. I continued my role as photojournalist, eventually becoming the chief photographer. In this capacity I oversaw all aspects of the television photography department at the bureau including budgeting, maintenance, scheduling of personnel, quality control, performance reviews, training and working with outside clients on the production side.
I was responsible for ensuring the consistent quality standards for all news stories leaving the bureau and was direct manager to an in-house staff of four photographers.
During this time I worked with the bureau science/tech reporter to design a national, bi-weekly technology series called Tech Files. I led field coordination and operations for special events such as presidential debates and election coverage as well as other breaking news (September 11th attacks for example) and covered all aspects of national news including members of Congress, the White House and government agencies.
My first experience with major-market news coverage, I shot, edited and produced daily news stories for the 8 stations within the KING Broadcasting group. The bureau is also where I was first introduced to non-linear editing on the Avid Newscutter system.
Medill is the school of journalism at Northwestern University. The Washington, DC news service was designed to give graduate students their first taste of actual news coverage for smaller-market stations across the US.
As Chief Photographer I instructed graduate students on interview techniques, editing and shooting video, field production and lighting. I also shot daily stories for the student reporters.
In addition to my M.A. in Radio/TV/Film production, I had a concentration in Telecommunications Policy and Management.
In addition to my B.A. in Film Studies, I minored in Economics and received a Certificate of Management in Marketing.

Australian model Nicole Trunfio has been hailed a hero for mothers after being pictured breastfeeding her baby son on the cover of Elle magazine.
Dressed in a camel-coloured Burberry coat hanging slightly off her shoulder, the 29-year-old's four-month-old son Zion Rain Clark is cradled in her arms while enjoying a feed.
Explaining her motives behind the candid shot, which will not feature on the news stand editions, Trunfio wrote on Instagram: "There is nothing more powerful and beautiful than motherhood.
"The last thing I want to do is be controversial, so please take this for what it is, let us #normalisebreastfeeding there is nothing worse than a mother that is judged for feeding her hungry child in public. #weareonlyhuman."
Attempting to relate to the average mother, Trunfio downplays her glamourised lifestyle, admitting: "I obviously don't look like this while I am breastfeeding but this stands for all women out there, whether you breastfeed or not, we gave birth, we are women, we are mothers."
The breastfeeding image will feature on the special subscribers' edition as the magazine has chosen to use a simple photo of Trunfio holding Zion for the standard issues.
Discussing the photo shoot in her accompanying interview with the publication, the mother-of-one explained: "When I saw the [subscriber] cover of me breastfeeding, which was unplanned and just natural, I teared up and thought, 'Wow this is such a special moment where my worlds have collided'."
Elle Australia's editor-in-chief Justine Cullen, has revealed that the intimate moment was not planned but the crew decided it was too good an opportunity to waste.
Cullen said: "This wasn't a contrived situation, Zion needed a feed, Nicole gave it to him, and when we saw how beautiful they looked we simply moved her onto the set.
"It was a completely natural moment that resulted in a powerful picture."
Trunfio is engaged to American singer Gary Clark, Jr, 31, and Zion is their first child together.
@9NewsNOW @9NewsMelb @nictrunfio @ELLEaus Why not? It's natural & if she's happy with it, then it's nobody else's business!!
@9NewsNOW @nictrunfio @ELLEaus yes. Why wouldn't they? It's a beautiful photo depicting a natural form of nourishment for a healthy baby.
@nictrunfio you're sending a positive message. I'm all for breastfeeding. It's the most natural way to feed a hungry infant. ?

The question of whether the ratio of dietary carbohydrates to fat substantially impacts total energy expenditure (TEE) or body fat has been investigated for decades, with most studies pointing to no clinically meaningful effect. However, a recent study by Ebbeling et al. (https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.k4583) reported substantial differences in TEE between diets varying in their ratio of carbohydrate to fat. The original pre-registered statistical analysis plan for the primary study outcome of Ebbeling et al. addressed the question of whether the reduction in TEE during weight loss maintenance compared to the pre-weight loss baseline depended on the dietary carbohydrate to fat ratio. However, the final analysis plan was modified to make the diet comparisons with the TEE measurements collected in the immediate post-weight loss period rather than at the pre-weight loss baseline. Here, we reanalyzed the data according to the original plan we found that the TEE differences were no longer statistically significant between the diet groups and the nominal diet differences of ∼100 kcal/d were much smaller than the ∼250 kcal/d differences reported in the publication. In other words, when conducting the analysis originally planned by the authors we found that the significant increases in TEE with the low carbohydrate diet that were reported by Ebbeling et al. disappeared. Furthermore, the TEE effect modification by baseline insulin secretion also disappeared.

Q: Can I print cell contents with cell comments at end of worksheet? How do I print the contents of a commented cell along with the cell comments at the end of a worksheet?  I know how to print the comments at the end, but is it possible to add in the cell contents?
Example:
Cell E96 in my worksheet contains: "Remove storm windows"
The comment for cell E96: "6 windows plus 1 small...say .5 hours each = 3.5 hours"
When I print a worksheet with comments appended after the worksheet I get:

Cell | E96
Comment | 6 windows plus 1 small...say .5 hours each = 3.5 hours

I'd like to add the contents of the commented cell there too, like this :
(or something similar, I'm flexible)

Cell | E96 Remove storm windows
Comment | 6 windows plus 1 small...say .5 hours each = 3.5 hours

In just one step, this comprehensive tinted correction cream hydrates, protects and evens out the complexion, corrects dark spots, blurs imperfections and refines the texture of the skin leaving it translucent and radiant.
The texture is creamy and it is quite opaque so I recommend using only a thin layer on skin. What it does for me is even out my skintone, cover up redness and some blemishes and just give me very impressive looking skin. It isn't drying nor does it turn oily, and it stays on me all day which is seriously amazing in our hot and humid weather. Downsides are the strong fragrance and the fact that it takes a while to set so it can feel tacky.
