Inevitability Of Change Revealed In Cry, The Beloved Country
Things grow old and die. Change is inevitable: a candle will eventually burn out, trees will fall to the ground, and mountains will crumble to the sea. This inescapable process is clearly illustrated by the character Stephen Kumalo in the book Cry, the Beloved Country, by Alan Paton. The Kumalo seen in the beginning of the book is a completely different person from what he is in the end. He is initially very kind and caring, but by the end of the book, he is a far less naïve person, one who is able to lie even to his own brother. The events that transpire and the changes they cause in the protagonist, Stephen Kumalo, clearly show that Cry, the Beloved Country is a book concerned with the effect external events can have on a man caught in the middle of them.
The book begins in a small South African village called Ndotsheni, where Kumalo is the pastor of the only church. Like all pastors, Kumalo is a kind, religious, tolerant, and caring man. In chapter 2, very early on, Kumalo is demonstrably very conscious of other people's feelings, as is shown by what he says to his wife:
I am sorry I hurt you, he said. I shall go and pray in the church. (p. 10)
When he gets into an argument with his wife and unintentionally hurts her feelings, he is quick to apologize and, as an attempt to make up for what he has done, goes into the church and presumably begs the Lord for forgiveness. Only a man with true compassion and love would go to such great lengths to make up for a wrong.
In chapter 4 of Cry, the Beloved Country, Kumalo makes a journey to Johannesburg to help his sister, Gertrude, who is said to be ill. Before he makes this trip, though, he hears lots of bad things about the city, such as about the fate of those unfortunate enough to venture there:
When people go to Johannesburg, they do not come back. (p. 8)
This may appear at first to be literal, that people who go to Johannesburg never return. But, after a closer examination of the quote and the rest of the story, it seems to be more metaphorical than that. What it seems intended to mean is that although you may indeed physically return, the ordeal while staying there is so traumatic that it can change a person forever. In this sense, it foreshadows that Kumalo, who does indeed go there, will not return as he left.
While Kumalo is in Johannesburg, some changes become evident in him. He begins to see some things in himself he didn't before:
I am a selfish and sinful man, but God put his hands on me, that is all. (p. 25)
Here he admits that he is hardly a perfect man, and that it was not through his own spirituality or goodness that he became a pastor, but that it was simply deemed to be so by God. This would be hard for many...

Yes you can, it is an excellent (albeit expensive) way of refreshing a brassy and scuffed M. It isn't cheap though, and you can expect a long delay in getting it done.
One important caveat though, only older brass body Ms can be repainted (along with the new M7 or MP, now Leica have gone back to using brass). The zinc bodied Leicas (M4-P after #1600 000, M5 and M6) cannot be done because their zinc alloy top covers would melt(!).
Expect lengthy delays as Mr Yaginuma can get very overloaded with orders. Finally, there can also be Japanese Customs Duty issues — so make sure you discuss this first with Mr Yaginuma before sending your camera.
Dr Joseph Yao (see below) has also had cameras repainted by Mr Takahashi at <onelovepeace.tripod.com/ Teru.inc.html>.
Peter Grisaffi of CRR Luton in England also paints cameras. He's is also on of the finest Leica repair person in the world, IMHO. See <angelfire.com/biz/Leica/page3.html> for more details.
I picked up an M2-R at a very reasonable cost (for an M2-R) and sent it to Peter to have a CLA and black paint job done. The camera just came back. It's magnificient! The paint job is more like a black chrome job you would see on the M6, though it's a deeper black than my M6, which is 14 years old. The photos on his site make the cameras seem more like a BP finish but that's just due to the lighting used.
Herefordshire-based Leica repair wizard, Malcom Taylor also apparently repaints cameras. It is claimed he does a superb job, but the $ charge is unknown (by me!).
I've just been on the phone to Malcolm […] Yes, he will repaint chrome bodies, stripped down to the brass, the works. He has his own paint made specially, including his own acid etching primers. He says he demonstrated the durability of his paint to two guys from the Leica Historical Society by immersing one of his black-painted base plates into boiling caustic soda and an original Leica-painted base plate into the same. Guess which came out completely unscathed? Give you a clue: not the Leica one. He says his ethos is to create a finish as close to the original Leica black paint finish as is possible. I didn't ask him for a price for a paint job: if you want one, you can ask him that.
If you're bored and enjoy taking cameras apart, why not DIY repaint? Take a deep breath though, for as you can imagine it ain't easy. First you have to rip the camera apart. Then you have to remove the (black or silver) chrome layer by reverse-electrolysis or strong acids, and then remove the underlying nickel plate (more aggressive chemicals) before you get to the brass!
I just wanted to correct you on paint color. In actual fact, I used the Tremclad Anthracite Hammertone paint finish rather than black. As this was my first attempt at doing this, I used the hammertone to hide any flaws which might be visible after spraying. It certainly did a fine job of texturing the top and bottom plates. In retrospect, I should have selected a different color like metalic aquamarine hammertone, which I've seen in Japanese Leica magazines.
I disassambled [the beater quality M2's], had the chrome and the nickel removed by a professional service, airbrushed them with black enamel paint, backed them in my stove, painted the engravings, assembled them, did adjust the rangefinders and applied a new leather cover.
My own working time was about 5-6 hours for disassembling, painting, assembling, leathering and justage.
The paint is called "SENOCRYL®-Lack 05-0945", by a german company WEILBURGER Coatings GmbH, it is the same black paint that Leica used or still uses, I guess on the MPs and for all black paint jobs.
I diluted it with the matching thinner, and used a low pressure artistic airbrush with a 0,5mm nozzle. Then baked it for 1 1/4 hours at 160°C in my stove.
[…] I had an M2 and an M4 painted by Shintaro back in the days when it was $400/body. Gorgeous! I've also had a 50 Summicron painted. Gorgeous again! Currently he has another body and lens of mine.
On the down side is the amount of time it takes to have it done. Secondly, the camera has to be sent to Japan and the declared value has to be less than $100 otherwise Japanese customs will charge duty. To ensure peace of mind, send it registered. Below is an excerpt of a recent e-mail with him.
"Now I have three plans for paint. This price is for Leica.
 $500US just paint on the brass. I do not paint eyelet's and flame at back door. It is good for the camera which is mint condition or owner doesn't care about scars.
 $600US Fix dents or dings then paint on the brass. I do not paint eyelet's and flame at back door. It is good for the camera which has dents or dings but has good leather.
 $700US Fix dents or dings then paint on the brass and change leather. I do paint eyelet's and flame at back door. It is good for the camera need total service to be mint condition black repainted camera.
Nikon S,S2 Add $100US. Nikon S3,S4,SP Add $ 200US.
I don't want to paint Canon.
Rollei Hummer tone is $500US."
Being an owner of probably the largest collection of Shintaro painted cameras I feel I should wade into this discussion. - Shintaro's work is on par with the best of the other "painters". There is an other painter/restorer in Japan that can do a better job, but at a price (US$1200 for a M2/M3), but his work is strictly for show as the paint is soft enough to rub off.
Over the years Shintaro and I have conspired to make a lot of specials, including hammertone grey, US Army Blue/grey, Ivory hammertone, black IIIF's etc and the paintjob has always been of a quality that compares to or exceeds the Leica original paintjob. I know that there are other painters of cameras that only sprays over the chrome and leave it like that (including somebody back east who powder coats bodies black over the chrome). Leica was never that good at painting the M's. I am old enough to have bought new M2's and M3's in black paint from the factory in the 60's and these paintjobs would not have met with our standards today. One of the ways of spotting a fake paint M is usually the fact that the paintjob is too good. Leicas paint used to react with the brass and cause bubbling of the paint almost instantly.
When Shintaro started painting cameras about 6 years ago, we experimented with various finishes. Initially the finish was quite glossy and very hard. Later he refined the process to incorporate the "semi-gloss" finish that closely matched the original M finish (of the M2/M3 and M4 - the finish on the Millenium/LHSA/Dragon TTL is different. It is glossier than the original M paint). Every camera he paints involves removing the existing chrome and underlaying nickel and polishing the brass to a high gloss finish. This is painstaking work and also involves the use of some rather aggressive chemicals.
The only item that I know that Shintaro paints black over chrome is lenses. Some of the early Leica M-lenses are a mixture of brass and alloy and if you use chemical removal of the chrome, you would also dissolve the alloy! There is a precedence for this as Leica used to supply 50/1,4 Summiluxes in black paint and these were simply painted over chrome and I have had 35/2 which had the same paintjob, black paint over chrome. These lenses were supplied new from the factory in that finish!
A couple of the cameras that Shintaro made up for me had "brassing" incorporated into the original scheme. My favourite was a black Nikon S2. Shintaro painted it and then studied other black S2 and "mapped out" the brassing on them and matched it on mine. I have a Nikon SP in "Ugly-" condition that I am sending to him for a similar treatment this summer.
Shintaro is a working photographer and regards cameras as tools, not as collectibles and I agree with him. He is not making "fakes" that can be passed off as overvalued collectibles. He is providing a service to M-users, who, like me, prefers the tactile feel of black paint with nicely brassed edges to a black chrome or bright chrome finish.
I have known Shintaro as well as his work for a number of years. He has painted over forty of my cameras. […] On one of my visits to Tokyo I asked him to paint an M2 for me. He asked if I had a few hours to spare and he did my camera while I waited - I witnessed every step in the process, and I would say it loud and clear again, ' the chrome is removed from the brass'.
As for the jpeg on his website, looking at the M3 on my Apple LCD monitor, there is BRASS underneath the black paint on the top cover as well as the external controls. As for the back door, there are silver patches showing because the back door is NOT made of brass. If you have a user M2/3/4 with painting peeling off the back door you will see what I mean.
I have also handled this very M3 on his website - and yes, there is brass underneath black paint and no, there is no chrome between the black paint and brass. As for the amount of brassing, I understand some were deliberate, like the edges of the viewfinder and rangefinder windows.
Is his paint durable? Sure it is. Very much so. My daily user is a M6 classic with a painted M4 top cover and various M2/3/4 external controls. After three years of constant use, only the rewind knob and shutter speed dial have brassed. The former was scratched by the buckle on the leather neck strap and the latter was marred by the M3 advance lever.
I have compared his painting against an unused original black paint M4 as well as the current black paint M cameras such as the Millennium and LHSA. Shintaro's paint is thicker and harder. The Millennium and LHSA feature a thinner layer of paint, and in the case of the former, polishing marks are visible. The black paint M4 has started bubbling at various places, but since this camera is over thirty years old I will give it the benefit of doubt. I am not an expert to judge whose paint is 'better', but I would say without a moment of hesitation I prefer Shintaro's work over that of Leitz and Leica.
In addition to Shintaro, I have also had some of my cameras painted by Mr. Takahashi.
He charges three to four times more and his work is even more refined. However, his painting is more delicate and I would say it is less suitable for regular use. IMHO, if you wish to USE a black paint M3, you send your camera to Shintaro. If you want your M3 to LOOK great in black paint, you send it to Mr. Takahashi.
And thanks to Shintaro, we Leica users now have an extra choice for the finish of our cameras. I had wanted a black paint M6J for sometime and he has made my dream come true. Now with the M7 featuring paintable brass top cover, things will get very interesting indeed. I wonder what finish the LHSA M7 will have.


The Cloverfield franchise has become known for its clever-yet-vague marketing techniques as well as its secrecy. Producer J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot production company like to drop surprises about these films on us in ways we never expected, and they proved that again Super Bowl Sunday when The Cloverfield Paradox dropped on Netflix as soon as the big game was over. Though there were rumors it might happen, there was no official announcement of the release before Sunday, and fans were left staying up late in order to see the latest installment.
Fans weren't the only ones kept in the dark. Abrams revealed during a Facebook Q&A this week that even the film's cast didn't know its official title until they were told about the Netflix release on Sunday. In the same Q&A (via The Playlist), he also revealed another mystery that stretched to the film's entire production team: When they started shooting, they didn't even know they were making a Cloverfield movie.
As many fans already know, The Cloverfield Paradox (like 10 Cloverfield Lane before it) began life as an original sci-fi script called God Particle, by Oren Uziel. Bad Robot eventually acquired the script and went into production. According to Abrams, the team considered the possibility of linking the film to the Cloverfield universe while it was still in the script stage, but it wasn't until shooting was underway that they actually decided to make the connection.
So a film about a particle accelerator test on a space station that goes horribly wrong evolved into part of the Cloverfield universe not in the preproduction stages but during principal photography. While it's not a direct sequel to either of the previous films, and therefore has a good deal of freedom, that's quite a risk to take when you've already started shooting, and Abrams noted that it meant making changes even as the shoot was going on.
Paradox has received the weakest critical reception by far of any Cloverfield film to date, but its clever marketing had fans rushing to Netflix to stream it, and it's still being talked about nearly a week after its release. Even if this is a weak link in the franchise chain, The Cloverfield Paradox is not the end. A fourth installment, a World War II-set film with the working title Overlord, is set to arrive soon.
In the meantime, if you still haven't given Paradox a shot, check out Netflix's new trailer.

In the months following April's death, Shep listens to Milly describe what happened many times. He feels annoyed at the way Milly seems to get some pleasure out of the dramatic story. This is especially distasteful to him when he listens to her tell the story to Nancy and Warren Brace, the couple who have moved into the Wheelers' home.
In the same way that Milly told the Wheelers about John Givings's institutionalization, she sensationalizes the story of what happened to April Wheeler. For Shep, April was special, and he dislikes hearing how Milly seems to use her death as conversational material.
Milly tells the Braces that they didn't know where Frank was until the next afternoon at 2 PM. Meanwhile, Milly had continued to pretend to Jennifer and Michael that nothing was wrong. Frank then came to the Campbells' house after going to the hospital to sign papers. He told the Campbells that he had called his brother in Pittsfield, who would come down and help. Then Frank took the children out to break the news to them. After that, the children had gone to live in Pittsfield with Frank's brother, while Frank had moved to the city, going up to see them on the weekends. Milly says Frank's brother and his wife are wonderful people, although they are much older.
Frank used his children to bind April to him and keep her from leaving him. With her gone, he feels no real connection to them and sends them to be raised by an uncle. This is darkly ironic, as it combines the worst aspects of both April's and Frank's upbringings. He leaves his children to be raised by a much older couple who didn't plan on having children (as his parents did) and he himself essentially abandons them (as April's parents did). It seems likely that Michael and Jennifer will await Frank's visits with the same eagerness that April once awaited her own parents' visits, and the cycle of unhealthiness continues in a new generation.
Milly tells the Braces that she and Shep had not seen Frank again until he came back for the sale of the house. Frank told them then that he had found a note from April that night which kept him from killing himself. Milly says Frank had lost a lot of weight and had said that analysis was helping him. Milly says Frank seemed to be moving on courageously—he is now working for Bart Pollock Associates. Warren Brace says that this is an interesting new company working on industrial public relations in the electronics field. Shep goes into the kitchen to refill the drinks, then goes out into the backyard. He angrily thinks to himself that Frank would never have had the guts to kill himself. Shep thinks back on the way Frank talked only about his stupid job and his analyst, describing working through issues he had with his father.
With April gone, Frank has also given up pretending he doesn't find corporate work fulfilling. He has gone to therapy himself to confront his feelings about his father, which also kept him from admitting that he was interested in the work he did at Knox. Frank is actually talented at what he does and was only held back by the bored posture he took for many years to keep April's respect and rebel against his father's values. Shep still subscribes to the cultural ideals that Frank had only pretended to believe in. Although April never realized it about him, Shep shared her values more than Frank ever did.
Smelling the spring air, Shep is reminded of April on the stage during The Petrified Forest. He begins to cry, then stops himself and goes inside. Milly turns to him and says that this terrible experience had brought her and Shep closer together. Shep reflects that this is true. Although he still sees Milly as foolish, he can depend on her to stay by his side, alive.
Although Shep grieves for April, he also reminds himself to feel grateful for Milly. He sees that loyalty like hers is worth more in the long run than April's refined taste and elegant appearance. He can depend on her support, and he is grateful for this.
Helen Givings had also gone through a period of shock and then recovery after April's death. She feels that John was to blame for April's death and decides that he should no longer leave Greenacres because he is too destructive. She and Howard reduce the frequency of their visits to once a month. When John asks about the Wheelers, they lie to him. Helen buys a puppy and takes great delight in training him. After selling the Wheelers' house, she feels ready to put the Wheelers behind her. She is busy with work and finds the restful evenings in her comfortable house satisfying.
Although the things John said to the Wheelers about their marriage and future baby were unkind, they were not insane. Yet Helen, with the support of society, decides that permanent confinement in a mental institution should be the result of breaking taboos and speaking inconvenient truths. Helen then moves on from her son, and finds the puppy she adopts to be a much easier more gratifying project than her own child.
One night in May, Helen tells Howard that the Braces are the first really nice people she has ever found to live on the house on Revolutionary Road. She explains that the Wheelers were a bit neurotic for her taste. Although she never emphasized this, they were difficult to deal with and they let the house depreciate. Frank ruined the lawn by trying to build a stone path. Helen had also found a box of sedum plantings, which she collected for them, in a corner in the cellar, and she felt appalled that they would treat a living thing in that way. Howard Givings hears nothing, however, because he has turned his hearing aid off.
Although Helen saw the Wheelers as similar to her in class background, she now wants to forget she ever knew them. Although she has condemned her son to an endless term in a mental institution, she hypocritically criticizes the Wheelers for their treatment of the plant she got them. For Helen, not taking care of the plant shows that they did not share her values – either because they were mentally ill or not her cultural equals. While Helen is talking through her feelings about this, Howard has tuned her out completely, preserving their harmonious coexistence by ignoring his wife entirely, and closing the book with a last depressing image of marriage.

the nucleus is found in all cells A nucleus is neither a plant nor animal cell. A nucleus is an organelle found within both plant and animal cells. yes
Asked in Botany or Plant Biology, Genetics, Zoologists
Compare a plant cell nucleus with something?
The nucleus is the control room of the cell, so it could be compared with the air traffic control room at an airport
What identifies this cell as a bacterial cell rather than a plant cell?
A bacterial cell has no nucleus. It is prokaryotic, meaning before nucleus, whereas a plant cell has a nucleus and is eukaryotic, meaning true nucleus. Also, plant cells are often specialized whereas bacterial never are.
Asked in Genetics, Botany or Plant Biology, Microbiology
What does the nucleus do for a plant and animal cell?
The nucleus does a lot for a plant and animal cell. This serves as the information and administrative command center of the cell.
Why do both plant cell and animal cell have a nucleus?
The cell needs the nucleus to function since the nucleus contains the blueprints of the cell
Asked in Botany or Plant Biology, Microbiology, Genetics
Does a plant cell contain nucleus?
Yes, plant cells contain a nucleus.


Law enforcement officers and first responders put their lives on the line every time they have to work on the side of a busy roadway. All 50 states have "Move Over" laws to protect law enforcement officers and other first responders, but fewer than three-quarters of the public are aware of these laws. The National LEL Program and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) hosted a discussion on Move Over communications best practices, including materials that are available to the LEL community on trafficsafetymarketing.gov. Participants learned about experiences, lessons learned and best practices in Minnesota and Illinois on enforcing Move Over laws and educating motorists.

The Los Angeles River is in a flood
Letters to the Editor: Concrete channels won't save L.A. in a mega-flood. What was paved over might be rebuilt, but won't save it.
By BRIAN WILLIAMSThe Times
The Los Angeles River basin is in a flood.
In the three years since it began to flood its main channel, the river's tributaries — from the Santa Ana River to the San Gabriel River — have crested five times.
This is a record, as the basin sits atop one of the nation's largest dams. Southern California's reservoirs, Lake Pardee and Lake Mead, hold around 2.5 million acre-feet of water.
This is the fourth year of the river's largest surge, but not without a warning.
Last year's flood was the single largest to hit the River in its nearly a century of existence, and it came to a halt after flood conditions were deemed too dangerous.
The same flood is now here again, but this time, scientists say it is going to be worse.
The River Basin Foundation believes the reservoir levels at Lake Pardee will be lower this year than last — and that the Basin will be able to divert water more quickly, preventing the next flood.
But it is not all good news.
As the Los Angeles Times reported in June, "the San Gabriel River system is more vulnerable to the same scenario. If levels stay high at Pardee, it could be a repeat of the Santa Ana flood, which caused major damage to the city of Los Angeles."
A number of experts told the newspaper that while Lake Pardee is now at a "good level," it is "far below the level needed to divert water flow to protect the San Gabriel basin from an extreme flood."
They say the same flood that hit San Diego in 1991 and caused tens of billions of dollars of damage was caused by the River's failure to keep up with the city's demands.
Since then, the city in the San Gabriel Valley has built a massive levee system

Q: Java Objects on JNI My question is simple, how can I instantiate Java objects on C++ (though JNI) and return an array of those created objects?
Something like:
jclass cls = g_jniEnv->FindClass("Lbr/com/iba/model/Annotation;");
jmethodID meth = g_jniEnv->GetMethodID(cls, "setBookmark1", "(Ljava/lang/String;)V");

How I instantiate this cls object and call methods then return it from this method?

A: Actually, I solved it:
JNIEXPORT jobject JNICALL Java_com_rmsdk_wrapper_RMServices_getBookmarkNew(
    JNIEnv *env, jobject thiso) {
   jclass cls = g_jniEnv->FindClass("br/com/iba/model/Annotation");

   jobject obj = g_jniEnv->AllocObject(cls);

   jmethodID meth1 = g_jniEnv->GetMethodID(cls, "setBookmark1", "(Ljava/lang/String;)V");
   jmethodID meth2 = g_jniEnv->GetMethodID(cls, "setPage", "(I)V");

   jstring jAssetName = g_jniEnv->NewStringUTF("Bookmark qualquer");

   g_jniEnv->CallObjectMethod(obj, meth1, jAssetName);
   g_jniEnv->CallObjectMethod(obj, meth2, 2);

   return obj;
};

Marghazar zoo: The zoo where a lion's roar hasn't been heard for a decade
Official says zoo getting revamped look soon with better fencing of existing animal enclosures, sitting areas etc.
The key attractions at Marghazar Zoo, including lions, leopards, giraffes and even snakes, have been missing for years.
Children from the twin cities usually return home with dejected looks after seeing none of the animals that any reasonable zoo would be expected to house.
"This is my last visit. I will never come here again. What kind of a zoo has no roaring lions and tigers," said Maaz Ali, an angry fourth grader.
Another student, Summayya Janjua, said, "The last attraction died with Saheli (the female elephant who died in June). What is left here to enjoy?"
Mehran Khan, who was with his family, described himself as a frequent visitor at zoos. He told APP that the zoos of Karachi and Lahore are much better, with more animals. "Unfortunately, Islamabad's zoo does not have these animals," he said.
He said the zoo should bring in big cats and snakes as children are fascinated by them. He also found it odd that the administration could not bring in more animals through purchase or exchange deals which are common with wildlife associations across the world.
According to a CDA official, there have been no lions in the zoo for the past decade, although in 2001, the zoo had a pair of lions and six cheetahs. The lions died and the CDA donated the cheetahs to other zoos due to lack of facilities to house the animals.
However, the official said that they are working to add key facilities and animals to the zoo. A project being implemented by the authority will bring in three lions and a pair of leopards, the official said.
The official said the project would also add better fencing of existing animal enclosures, develop sitting areas, repair or replace sheets on sheds, establish a hatchery and with incubators, and improve other enclosures and facilities for animals and visitors.

How will i-lend handle defaults?
Which marketing measures do you plan to attract lenders/borrowers?
Since the model is online, our efforts are largely focused online. For the borrowers, we are focusing on e-mailers, pay per click ads, Listings in local search engines. Additionally, articles and online PR are also used to attract the borrowers.
For the investors, in addition to the above, we plan to do offline PR through national financial dailies.
Can you share some of the initial feedback you got from lenders, borrowers, media and experts when you launched i-lend?
The initial feedback has been encouraging from VCs and a few investors and opinion groups we have engaged with. We are also receiving more than a fair interest from VCs. The present investors who have registered on i-lend have done so through their own initiative and we are getting requests from other cities to launch this initiative there as well. … Given that this is a new category in India, there is interest as well as questions on how it will work on the ground. However having notched up a few transactions, we are reasonably sure of its scalability.
Where do you see i-lend in 3 years? Is P2P Lending a threat to banks?
The Indian Personal loans market is worth RS 86,000 Crore or 19 billion USD annually and that is the universe that we are targeting. The typical interest rates are between 16 % – 27% in this category. A fraction of this is what we are looking at.
In our opinion P2P lending is not a threat to banks because banks do a lot more than just lending today. P2P lending will be an additional asset class available to the people in the years to come.
P2P-Banking.com thanks VVSSB Shankar for the interview.


Prior to the recent appeal the Manchester Police Force Complaints Department had found Chief Superintendent William Kerr guilty of misconduct, (ref 6.1) in that he had interviewed Susan as a 'witness' when she had plainly become his 'prime suspect' and should have been afforded the protection of PACE. She should have been cautioned, had her solicitor present and the interview should have been taped. Information gained from such an illegal interview was used against her at her trial. The infringement of Susan's civil liberties went unnoticed by her defence.
Susan's testimony from the illegally taken statement was that she could not remember whether she had touched the body of her aunt or not, but she thought that she had not. This has always been taken by the prosecution to mean that she had said that she had not touched the body. Regardless of this abuse of her words she has not changed her statement. Had Susan 'remembered' at any time that she had touched the body and changed her mind, the whole of the prosecution case would have fallen apart.
If she had changed her mind would this change of mind not be viewed with great suspicion? What then of the following?
Mark Naylor, a scene of crime photographer, two years prior to this last appeal when interviewed by the CCRC said, regarding a stain known as MSN 14, "Had I seen the mark MSN 14 on 12 March 1992 I would have photographed it …" (ref 6.4). (The absence of the photograph was very embarrassing for the prosecution) At the recent appeal Mr Naylor changed his mind about his statement saying that he had seen the mark (ref 6.5).
Joanne Ashworth, forensic assistant to the discredited Michael Davie, was also interviewed by the CCRC. She was asked regarding "an area of blood staining …", "Have you any recollection of this?" She answered, "No." (ref 6.6) Subsequently on being interviewed for the purposes of the appeal Miss Ashworth changed her mind and stated, "I have a vivid memory of attending the scene…" and "I also remember seeing the three areas of blood staining…" (ref 6.7&8). In the bundle provided to the defence by the prosecution Miss Ashworth provided a second statement correcting the things she had remembered wrongly in the first statement (ref. 6.9).
Mr Clayton, another forensic officer, who had been involved at the first appeal stage, gave testimony at this second appeal. Previously he had examined and approvedblood test results that showed a stain known as JH 2 to be negative (ref 6.10). No new science was adduced but for this appeal he too changed his mind and declared the stain to be positive (ref 6.11). This man's statement was received by the defence about one week before going to court.
Chief Superintendent William Kerr, the Supervising Officer, who at the time of the murder was an officer with twenty-five years experience, made no contemporaneous notes of his thoughts or actions on that first day of the investigation. In his statement and at trial he said that he touched the old lady's face and the blood on the pillow. The reason he gave for this was "to see if Susan's aunt was really dead" (ref 6.12). For the recent appeal CS Kerr changed his mind and explained that he touched the face and the blood on the pillow really to ascertain how long the body had been dead (see the appeal transcript that I do not have). (In my opinion neither of the above explanations have any credence. However, for his case to hold it had needed someone to say that the blood on the face and pillow was dry that morning).
What are we to make of all this changing of minds?
This changing of minds does not relate to some minor issue in the case but to what the trial judge refers to as the 'main plank'.
If these witnesses are capable of being mistaken regarding the major issue of the case surely nothing that they say can be trusted! All of the main prosecution witnesses are either discredited or double-minded. If Susan should try to change her mind it would be viewed with great suspicion. How is it that when these professional investigators, who are supposed to take great care over every detail of their statements, do it they are acclaimed? Which statement are we supposed to believe? If we believe their first statements then the Appeal is undermined. If we believe the second statement then the trial verdict or previous appeal judgements are undermined and these people were committing perjury. What legal action can be taken?


The interaction between wildland fires and local winds is important to the evolution of wildland fires. Because wildland fires occur in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), circulations in the ABL may significantly affect how wildland fires evolve. We used the University of Utah Large-Eddy Simulation model coupled to a fire spread parameterization to simulate grass fires in a fully turbulent convective boundary layer (CBL). In order to capture the interaction of large CBL eddies with the narrow but intense fire lines that are characteristic of grass fires, we used a domain 3.2 by 3.2 km in horizontal extent, with a horizontal grid size of 10 m. Fires were ignited after the CBL was fully turbulent.
In order to efficiently generate fire behavior statistics, we ignited multiple grass fires of the same size at the same time but at different locations in the domain. The results demonstrate that fire spread in the CBL is not deterministic. The figure shows the surface heat flux and near-surface winds 5 minutes after igniting 8 fires. The fire lines are obvious. In this case, the burned area varies by a factor of 2 among the 8 fires. The results suggest that a probabilistic (ensemble) prediction of fire spread is warranted. We also conjecture that sudden increases in fire intensity may be a result of unpredictable but favorable alignment of a fire with a boundary layer eddy.

KINO Coaching App and RIP-IT Smart Bat
Unlike other add-on performance trackers, Kino isn't apart from the bat, it's part of the bat.
It All Starts At The Crack Of The Bat
Unlike other add-on performance trackers, Kino isn't apart from the bat, it's part of the bat. The ruggedized tracker integrates with the bat by replacing the knob. This innovation means much more than just measuring your swing under more natural circumstances. For the first time ever, performance can measured under actual game conditions.
Confidence Comes From Training
If Kino only provided a robust analysis of swing performance - everything from swing speed, quality of contact, and number of hits per swing - that would be enough to set it apart from the pack. But Kino isn't just committed to making a better bat, it's committed to making better batters.
Complementing the performance metrics, the Kino system provides a range of drills and exercises athletes can access via their smart phones. Taken together, the software not only shows players what they're doing, but gives them the means to do it better.
No More Off Season
Kino's integrated hardware and software solution gives players greater control over their swing, allowing them to continually improve outside of the game and even outside of team practices. Compiled data from drills and exercises can be shared between players and coaches 24/7.

The particle swarm algorithm is a computational method to optimize a problem iteratively. As the neighborhood determines the sufficiency and frequency of information flow, the static and dynamic neighborhoods are discussed. The characteristics of the different methods for the selection of the algorithm for a particular problem are summarized. The performance of particle swarm optimization with dynamic neighborhood is investigated by three different methods. In the present work two more benchmark functions are tested using the algorithm. Conclusions are drawn by testing the different benchmark functions that reflect the performance of the PSO with dynamic neighborhood. And all the benchmark functions are analyzed by both Synchronous and Asynchronous PSO algorithms.

It's Friday. This is a good thing.
Breakfast meeting with Nimer to discuss the film trailer he came to shoot for Gotcha today. Then more rehearsals – stumbled our way through the whole thing, which was illuminating and exhausting in equal measure.
Then off to the Young Vic for some more work on the Tempest/Pericles/Winters Tale project. Really enjoying working with the other two directors.
Now bed, and the weekend.
