Route outline (key)
B4447 Maidenhead - Cookham
Gardner Road, Maidenhead
The B4447 is an alternative route from Maidenhead to Cookham. It was originally unclassified but gained its number in the mid-1920s.
The road starts at a roundabout on the A4 on the edge of Maidenhead town centre. It remains dual for just long enough that traffic leaving a car park has to head south to the A4, then continues along Cookham Road across a number of mini-roundabouts through the northern suburbs. Presently, and within sight of open fields, the road bears left and crosses a weak bridge over the railway line to Bourne End.
Originally the B4447 took the next right turn and followed the railway line to Cookham Rise. Now, however, we continue west a short distance further and turn right at a mini-roundabout. Both roads warn of a weight limit so there's no obvious reason why the route was changed. We continue north along Switchback Road North, which despite its name is fairly flat and not too winding. After entering Cookham Rise the old road comes in from the right then go under a narrow bridge under the railway line. Traffic in this direction has to give way to traffic coming the other way.
A mini-roundabout is soon reached where we turn right and cross Cookham Moor. There's a bridge over a stream which isn't obvious but to the right is a far more substantial bridge, now only open to pedestrians. The road now continues onto Cookham High Street, ending at the far end at a T-junction on the A4094 by the Stanley Spencer Gallery.

Breaking into a scene …
…that is currently dominated by veterans by the likes of Armin, Ferry, PVD and so on is very challenging with especially when those veterans show no sign of slowing down. However, every year a few artist just a find a way to break in and 2017 was definitely that year for Davey Asprey. With mega hit Fallout, he skyrocketed into every trance fans playlist and became a 'must-not-miss' artist. With a strong circle around him, Davey is positioning himself to have an even stronger 2018 and in due time, we shall be seeing him play in the US.
Hello Davey, 2017 was a big year for you. Your track Fallout was phenomenal. When you released it, did you think it would accompany so many acclamations?
To be honest I'm still pinching myself to how successful the Fallout project has become. Even 12 months after its reveal by Armin at ASOT 800, I'm still having Tweets and requests for it to be played at my gigs. When I played it at ASOT 850 and the Armada Invites the previous night, the whole room went off. Was such a buzz to see.
Your radio show Jilted Perspective is doing very well on after hours fm. What is your process for putting together the show? In 2018 you will host the 100th episode, anything special in the works?
I can't believe the show has gotten this far. The show has grown year on year since I started doing the monthly mixes back in 2011. As it's still a while off yet, I'm hoping to do something spectacular for it. Who knows, I could even host a JPR100 live event? Stay tuned!
Armin has called you a rising star in the trance scene and has shown a lot of support. How does it feel to have the support of a trance icon? Does it add to the pressure when you produce that Armin is paying attention?
Coming from one of my all time favorite producers and DJ, it means the world to me to be honest. Being able to have Armin supporting my music and continually supporting it in his live shows and on ASOT radio is something I'm hugely thankful for, and hopefully long may it continue.
Asot 850! Congrats, what are you most looking forward to playing this festival? Any artist playing that you are excited to see?
During my set, I managed to road test a few brand new tracks and the feedback so far has been unreal. More news on those soon! As for artists, I was really hoping to see Sander Van Doorn play, but my schedule was very intense for the evening and I didn't get chance in the end.
Courtesy of Davey Asprey
Although you had a successful year in 2017 playing throughout Europe, any plans to play in the US?
There has been interest for the US, Yes. My management is currently working with a few brands and hopefully I'll be able to tick playing the US off of my bucket list!
When you first started out, you were very involved in the UK underground. Do you feel having worked your way up through the underground has given you an edge? What do you see is the major difference between the underground and the mainstream?
I never really looked at it from that point of view, but now you come to mention it, it has been a very long road or me to get here. I suppose the edge that playing many underground parties and always having my ear close to the ground is that I have a very distinctive style from many of my other peers, in tune selection and in my mixing style, from what I have been told.
Finally, if you could live by one motto only, what would it be?
It's the one motto I try and live my life by, and that is to make the very most of every day and every opportunity!

Egypt to slash subsidies, raising concern over backlash
Amr Emam
Egyptians gather at a petrol station in Cairo as the government raised fuel prices, in July.
Cairo - Egypt's new government says it will save billions of pounds on energy subsidies as part of a plan aiming at delivering the grants to needy social classes. The government plans to curtail annual energy subsidies, which total about 100 billion Egyptian pounds ($12.4 billion) by 70% over three years.
New Egyptian Prime Minister Sherif Ismail said recently the government would reduce subsidies to about $7.6 billion this fiscal year. Economists warn, however, the move will cause commodity prices to rise sharply.
"When the government slashed the energy subsidies late last year, commodity prices rose to new levels, which at the end of the day rose consumer inflation," economist Rashad Abo said.
"By the same token, any curtailment of the subsidies will have direct impact on prices, which will cause even more public anger."
Energy subsidies have been an issue for the Egyptian government for decades. Autocratic president Hosni Mubarak could not reduce the subsidies during his three decades of rule in fear of public outrage. Economists say the subsidies are such indispensable lifelines for rich and poor Egyptians that no one in decision-making circles dared to touch them.
However, faced with mounting financial pressures, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi about a year ago took the unprecedented move of cutting subsidies from $18 billion to the current $14.5 billion.
Former petroleum minister Osama Kamal says the Egyptian government used to pay $1.80 for each litre of gasoline and then sell the same litre for a fraction of that amount to local consumers. He also revealed that subsidies actually cost the government $37.5 billion, not $18 billion it claimed.
Egypt, which consumes 75 million tonnes of oil every year, no longer enjoys the economic luxury to be buying such large subsidies.
In a matter of ten years, the country turned from a net producer of oil to a net importer, which means that it has to pay in unavailable dollars for its oil imports. That has contributed to a budget deficit of about $30 billion — 10% of Egypt's national income –this year.
That led to the plan to restructure the subsidy system, reduce spending, impose new taxes and even borrow from international institutions such as the World Bank, economists say. Egypt says it is in talks with the World Bank to borrow $3 billion-$4 billion, which has triggered nationwide debates on whether the move is necessary.
Some economists say a World Bank loan is indispensable, while revenues from tourism and the Suez Canal continue to slide because of deteriorating international economic conditions. Also, Arab states that gave Egypt billions of dollars in aid after the army's ouster of Islamist president Muhammad Morsi in 2013 seem to be incapable of maintaining their financial support because of declining international oil prices and the cost of the Saudi Arabia-led war on Yemen's Shia Houthis.
Fear is rife that measures taken by the government to make up for the budget deficit will backfire when it comes to the life of the poor; some of them are no longer able to put food on the table for their families, which can translate into political unrest.
Economist Saeed Abdel Khaliq describes the government's plan to reduce energy subsidies as a "bitter medicine" for the ailments of the economy.
"But the government needs to take measures to ensure that the poor are not exposed to the negative effects of this plan," Abdel Khaliq said. "These measures should include a tighter supervision over the markets to prevent unreasoned price hikes, make commodities available to prevent the hikes and ensure that all the poor are included in an effective social solidarity scheme."
Price hikes following the first phase of subsidy reductions in late 2014 have resulted in public anger and, some observers say, has had a toll on Sisi's popularity.
From August 2014 until August 2015, commodity prices rose by almost 30%, economists said, who add that this disproportionately affected the poor.
Sisi might have got a taste of this growing public anger during the first phase of parliamentary elections, which took place in 14 provinces on October 17th and 18th.
Only 26% of the 27 million registered voters participated in the elections. Some observers described the turnout as a "silent uprising" against deteriorating economic conditions.
"Reducing the energy subsidies will inevitably reflect on the price of everything," Mukhtar al-Sherif, an economics professor from Mansour University, said. "The problem is that after all the political changes that occurred in their country, Egyptians are waiting for their economic conditions to improve, not the reverse."

Leicester Research Archive: The control of ion movements in human red blood cells.
Title: The control of ion movements in human red blood cells.
Abstract: The thesis describes studies on the control of ion movements across membranes of human red blood cells. The first part deals with whether active and passive movements of sodium and potassium are influenced by changing the potential difference (p.d.) across the membrane. Replacement of external chloride with non-penetrating anions changed the chloride gradient and, as chloride was passively distributed, the p.d. was calculated. With low external chloride the intracellular chloride concentration was greater than that outside, indicating reversal of the sign of the membrane potential from -9 to +30 mV. Ouabain-sensitive (pump) sodium and potassium fluxes were little affected. Potassium efflux and ouabain-insensitive sodium efflux were increased ten- and three-fold respectively, whilst ouabain-insensitive potassium influx was halved and sodium influx unaffected. Thus, the main effect of reversing the chloride gradient was a marked increase in passive outward movements of sodium and potassium ions. Part Two describes a study of chemical reactions of the sodium pump enzyme in relation to the regulation of active sodium and potassium movements. The main aspect was to see whether p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP) hydrolysis by human red blood cells, ghosts and fragmented membranes was mediated by the sodium pump. In cells, pNPP uptake was inversely proportional to external chloride and the uptake mechanism was similar to that for inorganic phosphate. Hydrolysis of pNPP by both cells and ghosts was insensitive to external potassium and ouabain. Hydrolysis by fragmented membranes was partly sensitive to potassium and ouabain. The main finding was that there was a marked decrease in enzymic activity on raising the ionic strength of the medium, whereas there was no effect on ATPase activity. It is this effect, as well as the presence of a large amount of intracellular phosphatase, which accounts for the absence of a ouabain-sensitive component of pNPP hydrolysis when cells or ghosts are incubated in physiological electrolyte media.

Estados Unidos da América vs. Aaron Swartz foi um processo judicial em que Aaron Swartz, um programador de computador, escritor, organizador político e ativista da internet americano, foi processado por muitas violações da Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, uma lei de 1986, depois de baixar muitos artigos de revistas acadêmicas através da rede informática MIT a partir de uma fonte (JSTOR), para o qual ele tinha uma conta como pesquisador da Universidade Harvard. Contra o julgamento e a possibilidade de prisão, Swartz cometeu suicídio, e o caso foi, portanto, arquivado.

Antecedentes
Em 6 de janeiro de 2011, Swartz foi preso pelo Departamento de Polícia de Massachusetts, sob a acusação de violar o sistema, e fazer o download sistemático de artigos de revista acadêmica JSTOR. Os promotores federais acabaram por acusá-lo de duas acusações de fraude em correspondência e 11 violações da Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, encargos cobrando uma penalidade máxima acumulada de US $ 1 milhão em multas, mais 35 anos de prisão, perda de ativos, e restituição.

Em 11 de janeiro de 2013, dois anos após sua prisão inicial, Swartz foi encontrado morto em seu apartamento [Brooklyn], onde ele se enforcou.

Swartz era um pesquisador de Harvard que forneceu uma conta da revista JSTOR. Os visitantes do "campus aberto" do MIT foram autorizados a acessar o material do JSTOR através da conta do pesquisador.

De acordo com as autoridades estaduais e federais, a Swartz baixou um grande número de artigos de revistas acadêmicas da JSTOR através da rede informática do MIT, durante algumas semanas no final de 2010 e início de 2011.Eles disseram que o Swartz baixou os documentos para um laptop conectado a uma chave de rede em um armário de fiação de acesso controlado. De acordo com relatórios de imprensa, a porta do armário foi mantida desbloqueada.

Arresto e acusações
Em 6 de janeiro de 2011, Swartz foi preso perto do campus de Harvardpor dois policiais do MIT e um agente do Serviço Secreto dos EUA. Ele foi acusado na Corte Distrital de Cambridge.

Em 11 de julho de 2011, Swartz foi indiciado no Tribunal Distrital Federal em quatro crimes: fraude eletrônica, fraude informática, obtendo ilegalmente informações de um computador protegido e danificando imprudentemente um computador protegido.

Em 17 de novembro de 2011, Swartz foi indiciado por um grande júri do Tribunal Superior do Condado de Middlesex em acusações estatais de quebrar e entrar com intenção, grande roubo e acesso não autorizado a uma rede informática.

Em 16 de dezembro de 2011, o escritório do advogado do distrito arquivou uma declaração nolle prosequi no caso gerado pela prisão inicial de Swartz em 6 de janeiro de 2011. As acusações do Estado contra Swartz decorrentes da acusação de 17 de novembro de 2011 foram descartadas em 8 de março de 2012. De acordo com um porta-voz do Ministério Público do Município de Middlesex, as acusações do Estado foram descartadas para permitir que a acusação federal prosseguisse, sem impedimento.

Our goal this summer is to build 5 small storage sheds. Nigel and Horizon have been helping. Together we've poured the 5 cement slabs, used the sawmill to cut the logs into the size of boards required, and then used the boards to build the sheds.
Each of the 5 little sheds is 100 sq ft. Just big enough to house all the tools and equipment we've been collecting. why 100 sq ft? Well… after 107 sq ft we have to have building permits! That takes time and costs money… so… we will have 5 little sheds all in a row. It'll look a bit like a little southwestern town – especially when I get the painting done – stay tuned for that!
2 sheds up with trusses. Look we can store things now!
That's my hat pinned up on shed #4!!!

England's footballers have a 3.8 per cent chance of winning the 2018 Fifa World Cup, according to a Monte Carlo simulation applied to all the teams in the tournament.
Whilst the England national football team has realistically long odds, 2014 winners Germany are ranked as having a 13.3 per cent chance of retaining the trophy.
These are outcomes from an uncertainty model devised by the University of Adelaide's Steve Begg, who rates Australia as having a 0.1 per cent chance of winning the tournament.
Begg, a Professor of Decision-making and Risk Analysis in the University's Australian School of Petroleum, has developed a 'Monte Carlo simulation' of the competition based on team rankings with other input including recent form.
The key idea behind the modern Monte Carlo technique is that rather than trying to work out every possible outcome of a complex system, enough possibilities are modelled to be able to estimate the chance of any particular outcome occurring.
In the simulation, Begg is said to have generated 100,000 possible ways the whole tournament of 63 matches could play out. Although there are many possible options – almost 430 million outcomes in just the Group stage – this is "more than enough" for an assessment of the probability of how far each team will progress. He can run 800 different simulations a second.
In his model, two key uncertainties are a team's "tournament form" (their general level of performance entering the finals) – and a team's "match form" (the extent to which the team plays better or worse than its tournament form in a given match). The possible scores for each match are derived from the likely number of goals, based on scores from all matches in the last three World Cups, allocated to the two teams based on their relative match form.
Inputs to the model are based on FIFA rankings over the past four years, modified by Begg's knowledge of the game and team; for example Russia will have a higher "tournament form" because of host advantage, and poorer teams have a relatively greater "giant killing" upside than better teams.
On current inputs, Begg has calculated the Australian national team has a 14 per cent chance of advancing through the groups stage, 3.8 per cent of making the quarter-finals, 1.2 per cent of the semi-finals, 0.3 per cent of being in the final, and 0.1 per cent chance of being the 2018 World Cup Champions.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia kicks off today, June 14, 2018 with its first game between hosts Russia and Saudi Arabia.
This makes Alan Turing's achievement look easy!
The bookies (and even insurers) put their money where their mouth is: is he offering 30:1 against England? Does this forecast have any use to anyone and why produce it?
The bookies are offering 16 : 1 against England winning today. Would be very happy to put a tenner on at 30 : 1 against. The bookies are also only offering 40:1 against Russia, his 393:1 would be a good long-risk punt. I suspect that this guy would not survive long in the gambling field, and might have to pawn his computer.
I think that you will find that bookies and actuaries start with their own assessment of probability then modify as experience / better information comes in. I can see no use nor reason for this probability assessment, was hoping that someone could tell me why he bothered publishing this. If that is his statistical-fun …. how sad!
Even at this stage of the world cup, (after quarter finals), this professor has demonstrated his credentials well!!!. Brazil and Germany were his favourites, now both at home. Hope that prof Begg is better at his day-job: this does not auger well for his decision-making and risk assessment, the octopus did better last world cup.

Office of Minority Affairs & Diversity
Honoring the Life of Dr. Gabriel Gallardo
MCAC Honors President Emmert
Today the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity (OMA&D) at the University of Washington lost distinguished leader Dr. Gabriel Gallardo, associate vice president for student success. Dr. Gallardo joined the UW in 1993 as an admissions specialist for the Office of Minority Affairs. That year marked the beginning of a lifelong career encompassing an unwavering commitment toward ensuring underrepresented students have access to the highest levels of education. Over the course of his career, Dr. Gallardo has made an indelible impact within OMA&D through mentoring and coaching hundreds of students, staff members and colleagues both locally and nationally. The loss of Dr. Gallardo is deeply felt. We will always remember his dedication and tremendous contributions to students, OMA&D, and the University of Washington.
Dr. Gallardo was a lifelong Husky earning his bachelor's, masters and doctoral degrees in geography from the UW. From admissions specialist to director of the Early Identification Program for Professional Studies, Dr. Gallardo assumed increasing levels of responsibility within the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity and served the office in a range of leadership roles to help chart the course for diversity at the UW.
One of Dr. Gallardo's early and significant achievements was founding the McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program. In 1999, Dr. Gallardo wrote the grant for federal funding to establish the McNair Scholars Program at the UW, a program that recruits and supports underrepresented students to engage in undergraduate research and then matriculate into graduate programs and complete their doctoral degree. He was the program director and principal investigator from its inception. Because of this program, hundreds of students have been introduced to the possibility of a career in research and scholarship, and more than 175 of them are teaching, conducting research, and generating new knowledge at colleges and universities around the world. Dr. Gallardo's reach was global.
As OMA&D's assistant vice president for new initiatives, he provided administrative oversight for seven federally funded programs and coordinated various scholarship programs in OMA&D. His work managing the GEAR UP program continued his work of outreach to pre-college low-income, first-generation and underrepresented students.
With his 2007 promotion to OMA&D's associate vice president for student services and academic support programs (now student success), Dr. Gallardo continued to focus on the UW experience of undergraduate students and putting them on the path to graduate and professional school. He advocated for low-income, first-generation and underrepresented students at the institutional, state and federal level. He oversaw all of OMA&D's retention and academic support programs, which serve more than 6,000 students annually. And he was an integral part in making sure the spaces those students use were inclusive and beautiful: He was deeply involved in the building of the Samuel E. Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center, one of the best cultural centers in the country, and the wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ – Intellectual House. And he was integral in the process of OMA&D and UAA co-locating advising and experiential learning offices in Mary Gates Hall. In 2015, Dr. Gallardo stepped up to lead the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity as the interim vice-president during a time of transition for the organization and as racial tension on and off campuses led to a historically difficult moment for the University and our nation.
Dr. Gallardo was a sage adviser on OMA&D's Executive Leadership Team, providing strategic counsel and guidance to the vice president on programmatic priorities and implementation of policies related to diversity, student services and academic support programs.
The legacy of Dr. Gallardo's poignant career of service to the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity and beyond cannot be overstated. A quote from a recent award for Dr. Gallardo stated, "The award recognizes not just the excellence in mentoring students, but the impact your mentoring has had on staff and faculty across the UW, and at other institutions as well. We therefore present this award as a tribute to you as a mentor of mentors, whose impact is multiplied by the hundreds of mentees of your mentees, and more, on into the future."
In addition to his reputation as an intelligent, values driven colleague, Dr. Gallardo's compassionate leadership shined through in his everyday interactions. Known for his wonderful sense of humor, positive outlook and strong family values, Dr. Gallardo considered OMA&D his family, and made sure that everyone he encountered felt they belonged. Dr. Gallardo, affectionately known by some as Dr. Gabe, shared his family with OMA&D, sometimes bringing his beloved children and granddaughter in for visits. Many know the love of his life, his wife Veronica, who he met as an undergraduate at UW. For many in OMA&D and throughout the University, Dr. Gallardo was more than a colleague, he was a true friend, family member and treasured mentor. Our hearts are with his family at this time as we mourn this tremendous loss.

Eurex Takes Aim at CBOT With U.S. Futures Exchange
By Peter A. McKayStaff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal
Sept. 16, 2003 3:47 pm ET
Eurex said Tuesday that its upcoming U.S. futures exchange will immediately take aim at its former Chicago partner's biggest products, and the German-Swiss futures market also provided new details regarding how it intends to do battle.
In their most far-reaching statements to date, Eurex executives said at a news conference Tuesday their online U.S. venture, based in Chicago, will begin trading Feb. 1, 2004 and will be called Eurex US. It will offer U.S. Treasury-bond futures that will compete directly with those offered by the Chicago Board of Trade, which once used Eurex technology for online trading.
It will also offer European interest-rate futures, such as its benchmark bund futures pegged to German government debt. Veteran traders said those products may offer arbitrage opportunities with existing products -- to trade against the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's popular Eurodollars contracts, for instance -- but they aren't substitutes. Hence, Eurex's statement Tuesday carried far more implications for CBOT than the Merc, longtime members said.
The U.S. launch of Eurex, which is an online joint venture of the German exchange Deutsche Boerse and the SWX Swiss Exchange, has been the buzz of the futures industry for months, with many veterans saying the survival of Chicago's traditional markets hangs in the balance.
Traders said Tuesday that it's too soon to tell who will win. But Tuesday's announcement better defined the terms under which the historic competition -- which carries with it broader questions of the basic merits of electronic trading versus floor trading -- will take place.

Q: Handlebars.js missing helper I'm using handlebars 2.0.0, hapijs 6.5.1 and specifying the helpersPath like this:
var Handlebars = require('handlebars');
var path = require('path');
require('handlebars-layouts')(Handlebars);

module.exports = function(plugin) {
  plugin.views({
    engines: {
      html: Handlebars
    },
    path: path.join(__dirname, '../public/pages'),
    layoutPath: path.join(__dirname, '../public/pages'),
    helpersPath: path.join(__dirname, '../lib/helpers')
  });
}

The helpersPath is correct. However, it complains saying that my helper is missing even tho it is there and named correctly.
It would seem to me that the helpers are somehow not being registered even tho it knows where they are. Any ideas?

A: I was having a similar issue, and I think it was related to the format of my helper file.
I was using the examples from the handlebars.js site, rather than looking at the hapijs site. Basically my helper didn't have the module.exports = function(){ ... } a la http://hapijs.com/tutorials/views#view-helpers
Hope this helps.

"BackHeathrow" (paid for by airport – not a grass roots campaign), send biased scare-mongering survey to half a million
Date added: October 18, 2013
A lobbying group – called BackHeathrow – funded by Heathrow Airport is to distribute a survey to half a million homes, to try and get some favourable views on a new Heathrow runway.They are using fear as a tactic, to get local people worried that they might lose their jobs if the airport was not allowed to expand. There is, of course, no prospect of Heathrow being closed – the BackHeathrow tactic is irresponsible and ill-advised. John McDonnell, the MP for Hayes and Harlington, bordering Heathrow to the north and under threat from a northern runway, said it was just another front organisation funded by the airport and another cynical spurious public relations exercise. John Stewart, chairman of HACAN, said BackHeathrow claims it is a grass roots campaign but no grass roots campaign has the sort of funding to send out half a million surveys. This is astoturfing, not a real citizens' initiative. BackHeathrow survey results must be treated with great scepticism, when/if they come out. It's so badly worded & biased as to be valueless. The "Have you stopped beating your wife?" type questions in the BackHeathrow survey are so loaded they'd make you laugh if they didn't make you angry.
Mail-drop (by BackHeathrow) to spread Heathrow closure threat message to 500,000 homes
17 Oct 2013 (Get Surrey)
Campaign group BackHeathrow sending survey to 500,000 asking residents what they think of the threat of Heathrow Airport being closed
Aerial view of Heathrow Airport
A campaign group funded by Heathrow Airport is to distribute a survey to half a million homes, including every one in Spelthorne, to gather views on runway expansion.
BackHeathrow will conduct a mail-drop to 500,000 homes in neighbouring boroughs asking people what they think of the threat of the airport being shut down.
Rob Gray, who is co-ordinating the campaign, said: "The threat of closure to Heathrow is real – the consequences are too.
"Heathrow sustains 114,000 jobs in the area and the loss of that employment would have a terrible impact on the west London economy, including the value of property and job opportunities.
"That's why we have decided to mail surveys to half a million homes around Heathrow – to help local people understand what this issue could mean to them, and to offer them a chance to voice their opinions."
The mail-drop has been welcomed by Spelthorne MP Kwasi Kwarteng who said the survey was a good idea.
Mr Kwarteng said: "It's important that a voice is given to the many local residents who support Heathrow.
"The airport is at the heart of the local economy."
But not all agree with BackHeathrow or with Mr Kwarteng.
John McDonnell is the MP for Hayes and Harlington, bordering Heathrow to the north which, like Spelthorne, is under threat from airport expansion.
He said: "This is just another front organisation funded by the airport to promote a third and fourth and possibly a fifth runway.
"If they dropped the demand for expansion we could all get behind backing Heathrow. The fact that they won't confirms that this is just another cynical spurious public relations exercise."
John Stewart, chairman of Heathrow Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise (HACAN), said: "BackHeathrow claims it is a grass roots campaign but no grass roots campaign has the sort of funding to send out half a million surveys."
Surveys will be delivered through doors, but Spelthorne residents can have their say early by going online .

BACK HEATHROW. IT'S AN ISSUE OF TRUST.
18.10.2013 (From Stop City Airport campaign)
As Heathrow Airport wages a media war for the hearts and minds of the public at large for a Third Runway, they have a huge problem to over come. It's not noise or the environment or air pollution. It's trust.
We do not trust what Heathrow tells us.
In it's previous guise as BAA, the management of Heathrow saw London residents as collateral damage in their bid for aviation dominance. Instead they spent their time wining and dining Government ministers and the civil service.It lobbied. Hard.
Scandal after scandal emerged. Collusion between the DfT and BAA to fix local environmental targets. Lobbing groups like Freedom to Fly (run by Dan Hodges) blending into other lobbying groups like Flying Matters (run by Dan Hodges wife – kerching!) Invisible planes.
Even with all this they still failed to succeed. Why? The great British public. And so the Third Runway was laid to rest.
Like zombies, vampires and Jason Vorhees, the third runway is a dead incarnation refusing to die.
The newly rebranded BAA team, now called simply Heathrow, have decided to be more community active. Time to engage with the public rather than treat them like something they stood in.
They have carried out respite trials at night joining forces with residents organisation HACAN, even though HACAN remains vehemently against a Third Runway. Heathrow want to be seen working with residents and not against them.
It wants to build trust.
Enter Back Heathrow. A stale old throw back to the original BAA Third Runway campaign using lies, statistics and scaremongering to influence public opinion and bully local MP's and Councillors in the run up to elections.
Back Heathrow claims it is a 'grassroots campaign' and is supported with a huge amount of finance from Heathrow Airport but has maintained that it is an independent body.
It is a registered company Back Heathrow Ltd and made up of two directors.
(1) Mr Robert Gray who is also the Campaign Co-Ordinator has come from the Aviation Foundation established by British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, BAA and Manchester Airports Group. He is a professional lobbyist.
(2) Mr Nathan Fletcher Head of Communications Planning at BAA Heathrow.
It claims that it has been up front and made this information available from the beginning yet Nathan Flethcher and his involvement is not mentioned anywhere on the website or correspondence.
So less of a 'grass roots campaign' rather one thought up in a PR office. Otherwise known as 'Astroturfing'. [Astoturfing is described as: the practice of masking the sponsors of a message (e.g. political, advertising, or public relations) to give the appearance of it coming from a disinterested, grassroots participant. Astroturfing is intended to give the statements the credibility of an independent entity by withholding information about the source's financial connection. The term astroturfing is a derivation ofAstroTurf, a brand of synthetic carpeting designed to look like natural grass.]
The campaign is one of scaremongering. It claims, along with the GMB, that without a Third Runway, Heathrow will close.
There is no evidence Heathrow will decline without a 3rd runway.
Their newly launched biased survey is weighted to get that message across. Loaded with biased and subliminal messaging the survey has been widely mocked across social media and the internet. Even an MEP (Keith Taylor) has got in on the act.
Two questions below are good examples of the bias.
A survey with an predetermined answer set up to get to that result.
And goodwill that Heathrow have built up with residents in the last five years has been destroyed by a single misguided campaign. Again the spectre of old BAA hangs over the push for a runway. Resorting to old tricks and games are a show of desperation from an organisation losing the argument. And trust.
Let's have the last word from Rob Gray himself, to show you how it's done and how it works.

Greens slam industry 'propaganda' given to Heathrow residents
An MEP for the South East of England has slammed an organisation called 'Back Heathrow' for masquerading as a community campaign while maintaining close links to the aviation industry. [1] [2]
Keith Taylor, MEP for the South East of England, has commented after his constiuents received a new publication, also called 'Back Heathrow', which claims that 114,000 jobs are at risk if Heathrow shuts down. [3]
The 'Back Heathrow' campaign is run by Robert Gray – the founding director of lobby group 'The Aviation Foundation'. The group was established by four of the biggest companies in the UK industry: BAA, British Airways, Manchester Airports Group and Virgin Atlantic. [4]
In a previous job Mr Gray campaigned against the Hunting Act which banned certain types of fox hunting. He said that the Hunting Act was "propped up by dubious campaigning". [5]
Mr Taylor said:
"Clearly Mr Gray's involvement in the Back Heathrow campaign makes it impossible to trust the content of the organisations publications.
Robert Gray has been a professional lobbyist for companies who stand to lose out if Heathrow was to close down. The Back Heathrow group is masquerading as a community campaign but while Mr Gray is in charge it's hard to believe that the group is anything other than a mouthpiece for the aviation industry."
Mr Taylor went on to criticize the 'Back Heathrow' group for promoting a third runway at the airport:
"It would be very interesting to see who is funding the Back Heathrow campaign. Clearly those involved aren't overly concerned about the noise and air pollution caused by Heathrow airport, or the impacts that it's expansion will have on climate change.
Heathrow bosses would have us believe that laying down tarmac and increasing landings is the only way to bring prosperity to the South East. They would build over even more of our precious greenbelt and with little concern for the effects this would have on local residents. "

Furious comment from a Conservative councillor, Cllr Dominic Gilham
Back Heathrow, Back Off More like it…
Disgraceful scare stories coming from our noisy neighbours within the airport boundary,
Heathrow have decided to ignore the VAST majority of local people and try and highlight what they claim is a sizeable amount of residents in favour of expansion and runways over homes. I took this paragraph from their new site.
Grow, decline or close?
The future of Heathrow Airport is crucial to our community, with over 100,000 jobs depending on Heathrow. Please tell us your views about Heathrow airport and its future. What do you think should happen?
I think you should stop this blight on the people of West London, thats what I think should happen!!
So what happened to the choice of a Better not Bigger airport? Are they seriously saying grow or die. I am sorry but what happened to stability? Many companies,shops and business just maintain their demand not expand beyond their own boundaries into the homes,schools parks and gardens of their neighbours. I do not accept their claims and as ever I am opposed to forcing anyone from Hillingdon. I am do accept we need to fell 1000 homes, 6 schools and numerous green spaced areas to allow some european businessmen the chance to transfer from one plane to another!
"For too long, the local residents who support Heathrow have been the silent majority in the debate on the airport's future." Rob Gray, campaign director Back Heathrow
What utter rubbish, obviously this guy hasn't ever spent more than ten minute speaking to the people of Yiewsley and West Drayton! Silent Majority? I guess the poll results from this May weren't clear enough for your Mr Gray 2 thirds of Hillingdon residents said NO!
Heathrow Director of Corporate Affairs, Clare Harbord "The threat to these jobs is now very real."
Sorry but I have to say, the threat to Homes, communities and healthy lives is of greater concern to me than your cheap low blow scare stories.
THIS IS A SOMEWHAT LOADED QUESTION FROM THEIR SURVEY!!!
16. In response to the demand for increased hub capacity in the UK, which of these three options would you support?
In response to the demand for increased hub capacity in the UK, which of these three options would you support? Add additional capacity at Heathrow Do nothing, risking local Heathrow jobs, as the airport declines whilst other rival hub airports abroad flourish Close Heathrow and replace it with a new UK hub airport
Far too mad now, to continue typing but I hope all Yiewsley,West Drayton and Hillingdon residents are clear that this Local Councillor is AGAINST expansion.

Haverlen History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Haverlen is a name that came to England in the 11th century wave of migration that was set off by the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Haverlen family lived in Somerset and Guernsey. Their name, however, is a reference to the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, Haverland in Contantin, Normandy.
Early Origins of the Haverlen family
The surname Haverlen was first found in Somerset and Guernsey where "a member of the ancient Norman family of De Havilland of Guernsey settled in Somersetshire temp. Henry VII., and founded this surname in England." [1] The original Guernsey family settled there before 1176.
Early History of the Haverlen family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Haverlen research. Another 55 words (4 lines of text) covering the years 117 and 1170 are included under the topic Early Haverlen History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Haverlen Spelling Variations
The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries. For that reason, spelling variations are common among many Anglo-Norman names. The shape of the English language was frequently changed with the introduction of elements of Norman French, Latin, and other European languages; even the spelling of literate people's names were subsequently modified. Haverlen has been recorded under many different variations, including Haviland, Havilland, De Haviland and others.
Early Notables of the Haverlen family (pre 1700)
More information is included under the topic Early Haverlen Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Haverlen family
To escape the uncertainty of the political and religious uncertainty found in England, many English families boarded ships at great expense to sail for the colonies held by Britain. The passages were expensive, though, and the boats were unsafe, overcrowded, and ridden with disease. Those who were hardy and lucky enough to make the passage intact were rewarded with land, opportunity, and social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families went on to be important contributors to the young nations of Canada and the United States where they settled. Haverlens were some of the first of the immigrants to arrive in North America: Miles Haviland settled in Rhode Island in 1679; Mathew Haviland settled in Barbados in 1680 with his servants; Arthur, Daniel, Francis, Henry, James, John Haviland, all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860..
