"Unprepared for Sudden Transformations": Identity and Politics in 'Melmoth the Wanderer.' (the Romantic Novel)
By Lew, Joseph W.
The choice of your new name must be
your own--you must, for the future,
either adopt the name you have heard,
or another ... That of parricide.(1)
Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer (1820) continually presents characters with more than one identity: Immalee is also Isidora and Antonio, Manasseh. Conversely, the name "John Melmoth" brings together two apparently opposed characters: the rather non-descript young man of the opening sequence, and the dreadful Wanderer himself. At the same time, the structural similarities among the novel's embedded tales suggests strange affinities among characters as diverse as Moncada, Guzman, and Elinor Mortimer--a strategy resembling that which Owenson uses to critique colonialism in The Wild Irish Girl; Woman, or Ida of Athens; and The Missionary.
This comparison may seem arbitrary until one notes just how often Maturin attempted to jump upon literary bandwagons, particularly Sydney Owenson's. After producing a Gothic novel, The Fatal Revenge, or the Family of the Montorio in 1807, he imitated Owenson's immensely popular Wild Irish Girl (1805) with The Wild Irish Boy (1808); after the success of Porter's The Scottish Chiefs, he wrote The Milesian Chief (1812). In Melmoth the Wanderer (1820), he combined the Gothic and Byronic modes with yet another imitation of Owenson--the second half of Maturin's novel resembles, in many ways, Owenson's spectacularly successful The Missionary (1811).
Owenson's heroines share a certain cosmopolitanism, an ability to adjust to different milieu while maintaining a strong sense of a core self. Luxima, for example, compromises upon externals because of her love for Hilarion; as she dies, however, she reveals that she has always been a Hindu at heart. It was immediately recognized that Owenson's heroines were idealized versions of the author; the triumphs of her female protagonists even in death surely owe something to the unprecedented success of their creator. Autobiography enters equally into Melmoth the Wanderer; as Lougy notes, Guzman's wife is a portrait of Maturin's, and the pervading darkness of this novel, especially of the "Tale of Guzman's Family," can be linked to Maturin's financial extremities after 1816.(2)
Autobiography enters Melmoth on the political level as well. Melmoth the Wanderer, particularly in its analyses of questions of identity and its persistent glorification of personal integrity, springs directly from Maturin's own compromised position as an Anglo-Irish curate out of political favor. In the guise of its Spanish Gothic and exotic East Indian settings, Melmoth explores problems of cultural and personal identity and assimilation--a problem particularly acute for the English in Ireland during Maturin's lifetime, but also becoming increasingly important in Great Britain's colonial holdings.
This paper examines the political implications of Maturin's most famous work. As he is not very well-known and did not write a memoir, I shall begin with a summary sketch of his life. From there, I proceed to examine the novel itself. As Melmoth's structural peculiarities prevent the ease of exposition which more straight forwardly chronological narratives allow, I have tried to organize this paper thematically. I discuss the importance of the narrative's violent wrenchings of chronology, recreating within the reader the same divisiveness the narrative depicts in its major characters. These wrenchings then find a structural analogue in the generic disturbances which occur among and even within the novel's embedded tales. On yet another level, they occur again in blatant distortions of history. I concentrate upon the "Tale of the Indians," hoping to show that its various components, such as the themes of confinement and flight, the historyless heroine, the mingling of education and seduction, and the links between commerce and empire work with and against the Tale's outer frame in a way that is both a critique and subversive of that critique. …

ZUR ATTAINS ELUSIVE FIRST TRIUMPH; DEFEATS SHEPPARD FOR CDGA MID-AM CROWN
Wednesday, May 18, 2022 -
NAPERVILLE, Ill. – Ever since he began his competitive golf career as a junior growing up on the North Shore, John Zur (Glenview / Bob O'Link GC) has been dedicated to improving his game. However, those two decades of hard work had largely gone unrewarded.
"I've been working on my game a long time, and honestly the results haven't shown themselves," Zur said.
"Until this week."
The week that transformed Zur's golf career consisted of 89 holes at Naperville Country Club, as the 35-year-old Glenview native claimed the 7th CDGA Mid-Amateur Championship with a 3-and-1 triumph over senior stalwart Tim Sheppard (East Peoria / Pekin CC) in a rainy Championship Match on Wednesday. Following his victory, Zur recalled his travails of struggling in Illinois State Amateur qualifiers as a Glenbrook South high schooler and never making match play in a Mid-Am (age 25 and up) event in the ensuing years. This suboptimal history made Zur appreciative of claiming his maiden victory.
"Quite frankly, I haven't been very competitive in these events going back," Zur said.
"Now to actually be competitive in these, it means a lot. There are so many great competitors this week, so to come out on top is a great accomplishment for me."
To secure his first title, Zur needed to overcome an opponent with multiple trophies to his name. Sheppard, a 61-year-old who was in search of his first mid-am crown after having taken eight senior events, held a 1-up advantage over Zur through 10 holes. However, Zur rebounded with a decisive stretch in which he played hole Nos. 11-13 at 4-under, building a 2-up lead he would not relinquish.
The comeback was illustrative of Zur's resiliency throughout the week, as two of his three previous matches weren't decided until the 20th hole.
"I strung together a few holes to get it back," Zur said of his Championship Match surge. "I was able to do that all week, where if I was down or it was a close match, I would come through."
With the victory, Zur becomes exempt into the 2022 CDGA Amateur, Illinois State Amateur and Illinois State Mid-Amateur Championships.
Sheppard will look to rebound from defeat in the next CDGA-administered championship – the CDGA Senior Amateur – which he has won twice previously. The 55-and-up event is slated for May 23-26 at Medinah Country Club.

TROUBLESOME speed humps in Royston could be given the boot, according to a Royston councillor.
Cllr Graham Kyte said the traffic calming measures in Midland Road are 'doing more damage than good' and complaints have been made from bus company Stagecoach about them damaging the buses.
He said engineers at Barnsley council have been asked to draw up traffic regulation orders so the humps can be removed.
They were put in place about 15 years ago but have now degraded, he said.
I agree. The ones on Ruston Drive are even worse. Nearly new car and the suspension and steering rack are shot!
I feel sure that councillor Kyte was in favour of the road humps when they were put in. Now he wants them taking out. What is this all costing us?
Midland road is a ridiculous stretch of road what with all those humps, bollards and chicanes.
I don't know about these speed bumps but they are a big problem in other areas where there are loads of potholes. Swerving about in the road to dodge the pothole & pass the speed hump in the right spot is dangerous.
I hope some sort of traffic calming measures will still be in place, because I fear Royston will be worse than Cudworth at night. I used to live in Royston and I work in Cudworth and after 9pm its like Silverstone even though there are parked cars on either side of the road whereas Midland Rd. is a relatively open stretch of road without the speed bumps in place because it only has one chicane down at the bottom near the S bend.
Them speed humps are terrible! ... i think I'd agree with the ones outside Parkside Primary School for safety of the children however the rest of them going past the asda and all the way along Midland Road are shocking with how high they are at some points. You've got to slow down to at least 10mph if you don't want a messed up car!
i live in royston .its a school zone and the buses pass every 10 mins . just once i would like them and all the other drivers passing my house too stick too the 20 mph limit so children could feel safe too cross the road where i live .

Hitman Glass tubes shining in the Colorado sunshine.
The 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup ran this past weekend in Denver, with tens of thousands of people showing up to get high, get happy and celebrate our favorite plant and the recent legalization of cannabis use and sales in Colorado over the last few years.
As always, the event is also the time for cannabis product makers to show off their goods. Below are our top ten eleven pipes, bongs, vaporizers and other devices on sale over the weekend.
These kept catching my eye. The cool hockey puck design creates a heavy, solid base when filled with water, and the tiny divot in the top glass acts as a water deflector for the straw-like stem. The one with the white mouthpiece in the foreground even glows in the dark. The Nexus guy behind the table must have seen my eying them all day, because the third or fourth time around, he called me over and told me to take my pick for $200. It took a lot of self-control to not pull out my wallet. The company is out of L.A., so reach out at [email protected] if you're interested.
Like seemingly everyone else on the planet, I'm hooked on the crack that is Game of Thrones. No wonder these two pipes looked like something straight out of the desert tent of queen Daenerys Targaryen — because you know she would be smoking some really, really good hash. I didn't get a price or the name of the glass shop, so if anyone has that information and could share it, it would be awesome to give some credit where credit is due.
Continue to keep counting down William Breathes's top eleven products of the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup.
There's so much going on in this sick little handheld piece from Colorado-based Maryjane Glass that I had to stare at it for an uncomfortably long time just to figure out. That also could have been due to the spliff of Skywalker OG I had in my mouth at the time. I didn't get a price, but you can reach the company at Facebook.com/maryjaneglassworks if you're interested — and I know you're interested.
Pretty much self-explanatory. It's a bass guitar that is way too fragile to play, doesn't have any tone and has a bunch of spiders blown into it. But you can smoke weed out of it, dude.

Devon and Somerset 2018/19
How well does the fire and rescue service look after its people?
A fire and rescue service that looks after its people should be able to provide an effective service to its community. It should offer a range of services to make its communities safer. This will include developing and maintaining a workforce that is professional, resilient, skilled, flexible and diverse. The service's leaders should be positive role models, and this should be reflected in the behaviour of the workforce. Overall, Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service requires improvement at looking after its people.
The service has schemes to support staff health and wellbeing. These include an incident diffusing process to support staff after traumatic incidents held soon after they happen. Staff were positive about this process.
The service's health and safety policy outlines its commitment to staff. However, the service can't assure itself that staff are working to policies and procedures. For example, some staff work extra hours, sometimes on a casual contract. The service doesn't oversee arrangements to make sure these staff meet working time regulations, or that staff are well rested and safe to work.
Some staff are required to work alone, sometimes in very rural areas. The service has a lone working policy, but staff have a very limited awareness of it. The service currently has no effective process to monitor staff working alone.
The service has not done fitness tests for operational staff for over three years. We are concerned that the service cannot assure itself that all members of operational staff can meet the minimum fitness levels required to perform the role of a firefighter.
Some staff described managers as approachable and supportive, but others as being unwilling to be challenged or given an alternative view. We also heard of occasions when some operational managers would only talk to operational staff rather than corporate staff, and others where they only listened to uniformed staff of a certain rank. Of the 363 respondents to our staff survey, 27.3 percent reported feeling bullied or harassed. Also, 27 percent felt discriminated against at work in the last 12 months.
Inspectors were given examples where managers had told staff not to submit a grievance as it may impact on their career. This contradicts the service's values.
Questions for People
How well does the FRS promote its values and culture?
The service should assure itself that it has the facility to monitor and record working hours for those staff that have more than one contract.
The service should assure itself that the current arrangements for the management of health and safety in the workplace are effective.
The service should make sure that its values and behaviours are understood and demonstrated at all levels of the organisation.
Cause of concern
Devon & Somerset FRS cannot assure itself that operational members of staff meet the minimum fitness requirements to perform their role.
By 28 February 2020, the service should provide an action plan that details how they will address this issue.
Workforce wellbeing
The service has a range of schemes to support staff health and wellbeing. These include counselling, occupational health and a staff support network. It also provides a critical incident diffusing process to support staff after traumatic incidents. The service holds the diffusing session very soon after the incident is over. Staff have to attend the diffusing session, and have the choice to contribute if they feel able.
Staff were positive about the process and described examples of when it had been used.
The service's health and safety policy outlines its commitment to staff, the training it will provide, and managers' responsibilities. Despite this, in some areas the service can't assure itself staff are working to service policies and procedures.
The service publishes information widely. Staff need to read and sign some documents, like health and safety bulletins. We found no process where the service could assure itself that staff had read and understood safety-critical information.
Some staff work extra hours on prevention, protection or response activities. This can be either in their main role, or on a casual contract, working only when needed. The service doesn't oversee arrangements to make sure these staff meet working time regulations, or that staff are well rested and safe to work.
Members of staff are required to work alone, sometimes in very rural areas. The service has a lone working policy. However, we found staff had a very limited awareness of it. The service currently has no effective process to monitor staff working alone.
We found some inconsistencies in how often local health and safety station audits were taking place. Inspectors were told conflicting information about health and safety audits. Some said they had stopped. Others told us they still completed them, although they were unclear whether they needed to.
The service has not done fitness tests for operational staff for over three years. In 2017, the service committed to trial a new national fitness test. The service conducted a diversity impact assessment on the trial and as a result decided not to introduce it. The service recognises the need to reintroduce fitness testing for staff and has plans to do this.
At first, the service couldn't give any data on the number of staff that have had a fitness test. Since then, the service has provided data that shows 47 percent of its workforce have not had a fitness test in the last three years. We are concerned that the service cannot assure itself that all members of operational staff can meet the minimum fitness levels required to perform the role of a firefighter.
The service has a clear set of values:
we are proud to help
we are honest
we are respectful
we are working together.
We found these were well communicated, displayed around service workplaces and accessible from the service's intranet site.
Some managers were described by staff as approachable and supportive. Others felt they didn't want to be challenged or listen to alternative viewpoints. Staff described times when operational managers would only talk to operational staff and not corporate staff. Or when they only listened to uniformed staff of a certain rank.
Of the 363 respondents to our staff survey, 27.3 percent reported feeling bullied or harassed. Also, 27 percent felt discriminated against at work in the last 12 months. Of those staff that responded, most said they felt bullied or harassed by someone more senior than them.
Inspectors were given examples where managers had told staff not to submit a grievance as it may impact on their career. This contradicts the service's values. It also means some staff aren't confident about the grievance process.
Effectiveness, efficiency and people 2018/19 – Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service
How well trained and skilled are FRS staff?
The service has a workforce plan, so understands its current workforce's skills and capabilities. The workforce plan outlines the potential establishment numbers (the number of staff required) for operational staff. It also captures potential retirements, transferees across from the on-call duty system to the wholetime duty system, and how the service will recruit apprentices.
The service carries out exit interviews to better understand why staff leave. As at 31 March 2018, the service had a large workforce of 1,780 (FTE) staff: 85.4 percent were firefighters (31.2 percent wholetime and 54.2 percent on call), 1.7 percent fire control staff and 12.8 percent support staff. Due to the large area it covers, the service has the highest number (965 FTE) of on-call firefighters of all fire and rescue services in England.
Despite its workforce plan, the service has a number of staff in temporary positions. As at 31 December 2018, the service had 41 group and station managers and 113 crew and watch managers in temporary posts. More recent data available after our inspection shows that as of 31 March 2019, the number of group and station managers on temporary promotion had fallen to 21. But the number of crew and watch managers rose to 119.
The service has recently restructured. It is consulting on changes to how it staffs its fire engines and where they will be located according to the risks in the community. We look forward to seeing how the service will manage these staff members as part of the Safer Together programme.
As at 31 March 2018, Devon & Somerset FRS has 83 fire stations. A significant majority are on-call stations (71). Its problems recruiting and retaining on-call firefighters are like those faced by other fire services. The human resources department has a dedicated staff member who administers on-call recruitment. They tell the local station that there are potential applicants in the area. Other human resources staff work closely with on-call stations and provide support for assessment days.
The service has a system to identify staffing issues that may impact on the availability of fire engines. The ORC is responsible for identifying future staff shortages. It can effectively cover staff shortages at short notice. It will make the necessary arrangements for staff to attend these locations to keep an appliance available so that if needed, the service will be able to respond with a full staff.
Learning and improvement
The service has designed a new electronic competence recording system, Training for Competence. It is used to record and monitor operational competence. All managers and staff have access to the system. They can see at a glance on a skills dashboard levels of competence against the core risk-critical skills the service has identified. These records were up to date.
The service has recently introduced associate trainers to support the training of on-call firefighters and make sure it is consistent. Associate trainers travel to stations and provide input on breathing apparatus and incident command in preparation for an assessment. The incident command assessment is now done in each station.
A mobile incident command vehicle equipped with computer simulation software is used to assess the incident commander. On-call staff were very positive about this approach as it was a much more efficient use of their time.
The service gives sufficient priority to risk-critical training. The central training team allocates staff to risk-critical courses in advance to ensure that they remain competent and available to respond. Other training is organised locally by supervisory managers who book crew members on to courses provided at the training centre. Of the 363 respondents to our staff survey, 74.1 percent agreed they had received enough training to enable them to do what is asked of them.
Training for staff working in the mobilising centre is planned with the networked fire services partnership. Control staff follow a two-year training plan and an annual workplace assessment.
Community safety technicians (CSTs) are responsible for conducting home fire safety checks. The CSTs are well trained and able to deal with the most complex cases. They have a quarterly training day where they are provided with any new or updated information.
Corporate staff felt that they were trained well and that the service would support them to attend any course relevant to their role. For example, a corporate staff member attended some training normally only available to operational staff.
How well does the FRS ensure fairness and diversity?
The service should assure itself that it has effective grievance procedures.
The service should review workplaces to ensure that the facilities are accessible and suitable for female staff that may work there.
Seeking and acting on staff feedback
Devon & Somerset FRS covers a large area. Most of the workforce are on-call firefighters. We understand this makes it challenging for senior managers to engage with the workforce, especially those in more rural areas. As at 31 March 2018, 63.4 percent of FTE firefighters were on call.
When we spoke to staff about how often they saw senior and middle leaders we were told their visibility around the service was limited. The CFO produces a weekly blog providing information and updating staff on current issues in the service. Staff felt that this was useful.
The Safer Together programme reviews the way the service staffs fire engines and stations based on the risk to the community. It has involved engagement and staff consultation. It has also been supported by the introduction of business change managers (BCMs). BCMs are responsible for travelling around the service and informing and updating staff about the Safer Together programme. This was seen as positive by staff who felt that in the past the service would change without necessarily involving them.
The service conducts staff surveys and results are shared with staff. The results of the survey are recorded in an action plan, which also shows the future plans to address any issues. However, there are no dates or targets for these plans.
A review of the service management structure took place and a new structure was implemented in April 2019. The new structure will bring a number of functions, like prevention and protection, back to headquarters to support a more consistent and efficient approach.
However, staff weren't clear on who was now responsible for what role. Some staff have not been told where they are working or their job description. Staff felt that communications around the restructure were not very clear, with limited opportunity to feed back.
The service's grievance policy has recently been reviewed and updated to harmonise different policies in place before both services were combined. Inspectors reviewed a sample of grievances given by staff. Staff who had registered a grievance were not automatically offered any kind of welfare support according to the record we looked at. We were told this was managed locally.
The service's workforce does not fully reflect the diversity of the communities it serves. As at 31 March 2018, 4.8 percent of firefighters were female, an increase from 3.1 percent as at 31 March 2013. The service is aware of this and is working to change it. It has run some engagement days called Have a Go aimed specifically at women. The service encourages and supports female staff to attend national network events.
The service has a number of staff forums. This includes the diversity and inclusion steering group, fire pride forum and menopause awareness forum. Senior managers attend these forums and staff told us they felt managers would address any issues raised in them.
As at 31 March 2018, 0.6 percent of firefighters were from a Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) background. This compares with a BAME residential population of 2.5 percent. The service understands it needs to do more for the workforce to better reflect the community it serves. The service has launched a people strategy providing information on what it intends to do to build a more inclusive workforce.
During our inspection we visited stations across Devon and Somerset. There were times when operational staff used gender-exclusive language, such as a fireman. Inspectors visited a location where access to female facilities was locked to prevent repeated use by male colleagues. Women were required to request a key. We hope management will change this.
How well does the FRS develop leadership and capability?
The service should ensure that the selection and promotion process is fair, open and transparent and that feedback is available to staff.
The service should put in place an open and fair process to identify develop and support high-potential staff and aspiring leaders.
At the time of the inspection, the service was introducing a new personal development process, linked more closely to corporate plans. This was because the previous process was considered ineffective for staff, particularly for on-call staff. It was also seen as a 'tick box' exercise. As a result, some staff have not had an appraisal or a review for over three years. We were given examples where staff have had one-to-one sessions with line managers, but not all staff had. This depends on whether line managers do them.
The service has a 90-second target for mobilising appliances to incidents. The fire control room produces weekly reports on whether this target has been met. Fire control operators listen to calls that did not meet the target to find out why. They also find out if there is a performance or development problem. This is an effective way to make sure the service consistently mobilises fire engines fast enough.
The service provides development programmes as staff progress into management and leadership roles. Staff have a mixed view on the benefit of the development programme for middle managers. But they recognise programmes have recently improved, with more relevant courses. The service has given training and briefings for middle managers on support staff through the Safer Together programme.
The service has improved promotion processes. The service recently added an endorsement stage to the process in which a line manager is required to endorse and recommend the candidate for promotion. An endorsement panel considers successful candidates.
However, some staff continue to feel that there is a lack of fairness and transparency. Inspectors viewed a sample of records from recent promotion processes. They found appointments had been made that didn't follow promotion guidance. Successful candidates are graded. This gives an order in which someone would be appointed to a post. However, we found examples where this was not the case. The service couldn't clearly say why.
Despite asking for feedback on promotions, unsuccessful staff don't usually receive it.
The service has no process for identifying or selecting high-potential staff to be senior leaders of the future. However, there is evidence that staff at all levels get access to coaching and mentoring. The service has a coaching pool of about 30 staff and access to external coaches as and when needed.

CoxaPro > Clinical Library > Welcome to the joint replacement clinical library > Topical Tranexamic Acid Reduces Blood Loss and Transfusion Rates Associated With Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research: May 2014 - Volume 472 - Issue 5 - p 1552–1557 doi: 10.1007/s11999-013-3446-0 Clinical Research
Topical Tranexamic Acid Reduces Blood Loss and Transfusion Rates Associated With Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty
Chang, Chih-Hsiang, MD1,2; Chang, Yuhan, MD, PhD1,2; Chen, Dave, W., MD, PhD1,2; Ueng, Steve, W. N., MD1,2; Lee, Mel, S., MD, PhD1,2,3,a
Background Systemic tranexamic acid can decrease blood loss and rates of transfusion in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the efficacy of topical tranexamic acid in THA has only recently been characterized in a small number of studies.
Questions/purposes The purpose of this study was to compare (1) the greatest hemoglobin decrease after surgery; (2) transfusion rates; and (3) symptomatic thromboembolic events among patients undergoing THA who did and did not receive topical tranexamic acid.
Methods We retrospectively compared 135 patients (154 THAs) who received 10 mL 5% tranexamic acid added in a topical cocktail solution during surgery between January 2009 and July 2011 with 211 patients (234 THAs) who received only the topical cocktail solution (analgesic and antibiotic agent) between January 2005 and December 2008. Contraindications for the use of tranexamic acid included a documented history of a venous thromboembolic event, an allergy to tranexamic acid, thrombophilia, or a high risk of venous thromboembolism based on the guidelines of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons; the 135 patients who received it during that period represented 99.4% of the patients undergoing THA during that time. We compared changes in Hb, transfusion rates, estimated blood loss, surgical results, and complications between the groups. The transfusion threshold was the same, when the Hb values were < 10 g/dL. Patients were screened for thromboembolic disease if symptoms or signs appeared.
Results Hb decreased less in the tranexamic acid group (1.87 ± 1.10 g/dL) than in the control group (2.2 ± 1.36 g/dL; p = 0.01) on the first postoperative day. The frequency of transfusion was lower in patients receiving tranexamic acid (17% as compared with 35% in the control group; p < 0.001). There was only one nonfatal pulmonary embolism in the control group during the study period.
Conclusions Use of topical tranexamic acid in patients undergoing THA reduces postoperative bleeding and decreases blood transfusion rates. No increase in major complications was identified in patients managed with topical tranexamic acid. This retrospective study confirms the results of a smaller randomized trial on the same topic by another group.
Level of Evidence Level III, therapeutic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.


Abstract We analyze the radio light curve of 3C 273 at 15 GHz from 1963 to 2006 taken from the database of the literature, and find evidence of quasi-periodic activity. Using the wavelet analysis method to analyze these data, our results indicate that: (1) There is one main outburst period of P1=8.1+/-0.1 year in 3C 273. This period is in a good agreement with Ozernoi's analysis in optical bands. (2) Based on the possible periods, we expect the next burst in 2014 October.

CA (NI) (Stephens LJ, Treacy LJ, Keegan J)
The Court of Appeal (Northern Ireland) considered the appropriate reduction to a sentence when an offender pleaded guilty at arraignment but did not indicate his intention to plead guilty at the outset. In particular, it considered whether the attitude of the offender at interview should be taken into account, and whether the present guidance was consistent with the terms of the Criminal Justice (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 art.33(1). It also considered whether there was an impact on the level of discount if the offender was caught red-handed or if there was no viable defence.
Although a sentence of 18 months' imprisonment for possession of prohibited weapons and possession of guns and ammunition was unduly lenient, it did not follow that the sentence had to be quashed. A judge erred in reducing the sentence to take into account the guilty plea and then reduce again to take into account the mitigation. However, it was unfair to increase the sentence which would require the offender to return to prison especially as in the instant case the Prosecution sought to advance a new case.
CA (Crim Div) (Green LJ, Phillips J, Judge Molyneux)
The court considered what would amount to a "sustained incident" to bring an offence within category 2 of harm in the sexual offences definitive guideline. The mere fact that an offender had remained in a position of trust in relation to a complainant and shared a home with her was not sufficient to create the continued linkage needed to make three assaults over the course of two years a single "incident". Further, in determining whether a child was "particularly vulnerable due to … personal circumstances" so as to come within category 2, it was not sensible to construe the guidelines as though they were a statute. They could not predict every permutation of circumstances that might arise, and a combination of factors might be sufficient to bring a case within that rubric.
CA (Crim Div) (Hickinbottom LJ, Carr J, Andrews J)
An offender was entitled to receive the full one-third credit in respect of his guilty pleas to three offences of domestic burglary. None of the sentences, after full credit was applied, would be less than 80% of the mandatory minimum term of three years.
DC (Hickinbottom LJ, Butcher J)
It would be extremely rare for a court considering a guilty plea to find that a case presented by the prosecution as being aggravated by sexual orientation discrimination under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 s.146, where that was disputed by the defence, did not require a Newton hearing because the existence of that factor would not materially affect the sentence. In any event, such a hearing was likely to be necessary because of the requirement under s.146(3)(b) to state in open court that homophobic circumstances had been present in an offence.
CA (Crim Div) (Gross LJ, McGowan J, Butcher J)
A sentence of four years and five months' imprisonment was justified in the case of the appellant, who had pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary, one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one count of assault by beating.
In sentencing an offender for breach of a restraining order, a judge had been correct to take a starting point of two years, having assessed the offender's culpability as falling into Category 1A of the definitive guideline. However, she had erred in increasing that term to four years, based on the offender's previous convictions. If the impact on the victims of the offender's recent and past conduct was used to put the offending into Category 1A, care had to be taken not to use it again to increase the sentence within the range by too much.
CA (Crim Div) (Hamblen LJ, Lewis J, Judge Picton)
It was not permissible for a sentencing judge to reflect the aggravating feature of an offender's absconding by reducing the credit for his guilty plea.
CA (Crim Div) (Spencer J, Judge Picton)
A sentence of three years and nine months' imprisonment was appropriate for a repeat offender who had pleaded guilty to a dwelling-house burglary. The sentencing judge had been wrong to treat the offender's assertion that he needed to look at CCTV footage of the offence before he was prepared to plead guilty as a reason for reducing the credit to be given for the plea.
CA (Crim Div) (Spencer J, Judge Picton QC)
A judge had erred in failing to apply the appropriate credit for a guilty plea and for failing to reduce a custodial sentence on the grounds of totality when sentencing an offender for offences of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and doing an act which harmed a witness.

Featuring extended use at each stage, this convertible car seat is designed to last through all your firsts with your child.
For newborns to growing toddlers, the Grow and Go Air can be used in the rear-facing position from 5-40 pounds. It includes three comfortable grow-with-baby pillows to give your new travel companion a snug fit, and they easily remove as your baby outgrows them. The pillows are also reversible to help quickly manage messes on the road.
In forward-facing mode, the Grow and Go Air keeps your child protected in a harness up to 65 pounds. In both rear-facing and forward-facing mode, harness holders keep the harness in an open position. This makes it easier for you to get your child in and out of the car seat. No more fishing for the harness and clips from behind your child – they're right there when you need them. The QuickFit™ Harness offers additional convenience in both of these stages by letting you adjust the height of both the headrest and harness with one hand, in one easy step, making it simple to give your growing child the best fit.
When your child is ready to use the vehicle seat belts, hide the harness and use the Grow and Go Air 3-in-1 Car Seat in belt-positioning booster mode: up to 100 pounds. The headrest still adjusts with one hand, letting you get the best fit for your child.
As your tiny baby grows into a big kid, messes are bound to happen, but the Grow and Go Air car seat is simple to clean with a machine washable and dryer safe cover that removes easily from the seat. This cover attaches to the seat with snaps so there's no need to remove the harness or disassemble the car seat. Just unsnap and lift the pad away to put it in the machine.
The Grow and Go Air is designed to provide more comfort to parents too. It takes up less room when used rear-facing, giving up to 7 inches more leg room for parents in the front seat.

Russell Simmons' All Def Digital President Spins Massive Layoffs Rumor as Part of a 'Strategic Deal'
Posted on December 11, 2018 by Sofie William
Several months ago, in an apparent attempt to avoid prosecution over multiple sexual assaults, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons fled to Indonesia.
The country doesn't have an existing extradition treaty with the U.S. This means if found guilty, Simmons can continue to hide in the Asian country.
Late last week, a report came to light. Completing Simmons' escape from the U.S., All Def Digital (ADD) quietly laid off employees en masse.
As expected, Simmons' parent company, Rush Communications, hasn't shared information about the massive layoffs. In 2017, the embattled hip-hop mogul stepped down from his role at ADD. Simmons explained that he wanted to start new ventures. This only happened, however, after multiple women accused him of sexual assault.
The Def Jam co-founder has vehemently denied the sexual assault allegations. He purports to have never been abusive or violent toward any women. Simmons further explained that his decision to step down from managing ADD's day-to-day operations was to avoid "being a distraction."
Prior to Simmons' departure, ADD CEO Sanjay Sharma departed to start a new digital media venture. Osman Eralp assumed the day-to-day duties of the brand.
Now, fighting back against the layoff reports, All Def Digital has used a rather poor PR strategy.
So, you've 'reorganized' your company. But, don't you need employees to run – or even sell – your company?
In an attempt to spin the massive layoffs, All Def Digital, a youth-oriented digital entertainment company, has issued a new statement.
ADD President and CEO Chris Blackwell dismissed last week's report, stating Simmons' company won't shut down.
"We're reorganizing in advance of a strategic deal."
In PR talk, this means the company has struggled to turn a profit and find a potential buyer. So, they've had to resort to layoffs to keep the company afloat.
In short, All Def Digital is running out of cash.
Blackwell also didn't provide additional details about the "strategic deal."
Since fleeing to Indonesia, Russell Simmons hasn't had an ownership interest in ADD.

Lloyd Curtis
Robin Mills went to Hursey, near Broadwindsor, to meet farmer Lloyd Curtis. This is his story.
"I've lived on a dairy farm my whole life. The family started farming down at Whetham, a couple of miles away, and the land down there and this farm where I am now were owned by my grandfather's twin brother. I suppose we've been at Whetham a hundred-odd years; I mean grandfather's brother came out of the First World War and married into the farm. But he'd been shot up a bit, and his legs were bad, so he gave up in the sixties, and Father took it on and we rented it, then he managed to buy it, in '74 I think. I was brought up at Whetham, so that's three generations have been there. We didn't get electricity there until '63, and that made a difference. We went round with hurricane lanterns until then. My wife Alison and I built this bungalow here at Moorlands Farm in Hursey when we got married in '77, and the farm buildings across the fields from here where we have the dairy went up in the early eighties.
I've got one brother, Steven; he's two years younger than me, and he runs the farm at Whetham. We went to school at Broadwindsor, then to Beaminster comprehensive. I think at first I wasn't sure if farming was what I wanted to do. I've always been quite good at fixing things, without trying to blow my own trumpet, and Father wanted me to learn to be an agricultural engineer after school, but I loved animals so I was a bit tugged in two directions. Anyway, farming won, and after I left school I said I wanted to go to college to learn farming. Father said, "Why do you want to do that, you always hated school", but I went, and enjoyed it, and I did very well.
Just after I left college, Father had a major heart attack, but then he had a bypass operation and made a good recovery. So my brother and I were working the farm, but the problem was we had too many cattle down at Whetham; all the silage had to be hauled down there from here, and the manure back up here again. We have two blocks of land virtually the same size, just about 100 acres each, and we rent quite a bit as well. A lot of dairy farmers rent land like we do; land's got too expensive to buy, but when non-farmers do buy it they don't really know what to do with it, so I get asked to look after it. So back in the eighties I told Father I wanted to put up a shed up here, and start milking, which was exactly what we did, and now I'm here at Hursey milking about 100 cows, and Steven's down at Whetham.
The land round here's good grass land, but not really suitable for anything else, like corn. If it rains, it tends to lie wet for quite a long time so crops can easily spoil before they can be harvested. And in the early days we had sheep, pigs and beef cattle as well as the dairy. Sheep were never really my thing; the pigs I was ok with, and at one time we had about 200, but it was always either boom or bust with them. Nowadays, you just can't; different enterprises all mean more and more labour, and more and more paperwork. So, we specialise in dairy, and we've got a cheese contract which means we're looking for very high protein milk. A firm called Lactalis, a French company who make Somerset Brie up at Cricket St Thomas, buys all our milk, which is great because the milk only travels about 5 miles from here. Personally, I think it's a hell of a good product, and we beat the French at their own game; I'm quite proud to be one of the 10 farms producing milk for it. We're using Friesian cows, with a few Jersey crosses, and I'm experimenting with different breeding to get higher protein, but also because we've had too much trouble with their feet, and I think perhaps the pure Friesian just won't stick the English climate.
I do most of the milking myself, and I like it. It's my thinking time. My son Stuart does the feeding and cleaning out, and now we've gone to a new feed wagon which weighs and dishes out the rations to the nearest kilo, it's that precise. It helps us to look after the cows the way they should be, more naturally, with much more roughage in the diet, rather than the trend which was at one time to feed them like racehorses. We have to buy in protein, and straw, but everything else they eat, grass and grass silage, and maize silage, is grown here on the farm.
Obviously the changes in farming in my lifetime have been huge. The tractors for a start, from a David Brown Cropmaster and a Massey 35 when I started, to the sort of machines we all have now; I mean we can be nostalgic about the old tractors, but what we can do in a day now, in comfort, is a million miles from those days. But the job has become a lonely one. I spend 5 hours a day milking, with only cows, or my dog, to talk to; the reps don't even call in to try and sell you something these days. In my father's day, there were 23 people working on both farms, but now it's just me and Stuart. Alison's always helped me on the farm when she can, and does the milking from time to time. So it's ok really; we managed a holiday last year, and went on a cruise with some friends to celebrate Alison's birthday. I didn't think I'd enjoy it, but it was great; I love meeting people and talking. Turned out there were quite a few other farmers on the boat, and that was the first time we've ever had a fortnight's holiday. Then there's the village holidays we go on, just for a couple of days down at Woolacombe, always unpredictable but always a lot of fun. It's a lovely village, Broadwindsor, a great community. The pub's unfortunately been shut since September, but it's opening again now, and we're trying very hard to get the shop open again. I've been on the Parish Council for 29 years now, took over from Father when he was bad. Sometimes I come home from meetings thinking that's it, I'm not going back, but I do. Parish Council, it's miniscule government, and sometimes it takes a long time to make things happen, but it's great when something does get sorted. It's doing your little bit for the community, and I think it'll become more important for the community in the future. I've also had a lot to do with the NFU, and I do quite a bit with Beaminster Young Farmers. I started with them when I was about 15, and I'm still going.
I've stuck with dairying all these years, when many, many farmers haven't. I've gone years without making a profit, but I've stayed here. I've always tried to keep expanding the business a bit, and move forward and look at different ideas. We try and save a penny here and a penny there, so the supermarket can make a fortune. It was a fairer system years ago in the days of the Milk Marketing Board; there were equal shares for all. These days the supermarket takes the profit, and the farmer and the processor are squeezed. As a producer, I'm in such a weak position; the milk tanker comes every day, the milk's got to go. But then I don't know what price I'm going to get paid for it until 6 weeks later. Since last December, we've actually broken costs, which flabbergasts me; in the last 4 years we've sold milk at consistently 4p/litre under costs, so we only survive because barren cow prices are good.
Alison and I also have two daughters, Emma and Sonia, both married to farmers' sons. We've got 6 grandchildren, and there's another on the way. They're all local, all involved in farming, and so it carries on. Stuart's married a farmer's daughter as well, so it does seem farming's quite infectious. And since he's been home, it's been a lot easier. I'm lucky to be doing what I do because I love it, and helping feed the nation in the process."

REVIEW of Antonius: Son of Rome by Brook Allen
Rose Spears (Rosanne E. Lortz) January 12, 2020 Fiction, Historical Fiction
Son of a disgraced father, stepson of an executed conspirator, Marcus Antonius has an uphill battle to attain prestige in Rome. This coming-of-age story shows how the fervent youth becomes a spoiled teenager, squandering his patrimony on wine and women and becoming indebted to loan sharks to the tune of 200 talents (FWIW, that's a lot…). His distant cousin on his mother's side, Julius Caesar, gives him a second chance, sending him to Greece to achieve an education, but there is no margin for error or folly this time. Using his native intelligence and aptitude for strategy, Marcus manages to secure a military post, helping quell an uprising in Judea before crossing the deserts of Arabia to help a pampered and vindictive pharaoh regain his throne. While there, Marcus encounters Ptolemy's darling daughter, the Lotus Flower Cleopatra, and establishes himself as a force to be reckoned with in the twilight days of the Roman Republic.
This book was a fascinating look at the life of Mark Antony. I've always enjoyed his role in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar ("But Brutus is an honorable man…"), but I didn't know much about him. The opening scenes of the book, occurring during Spartacus' revolt, do a brilliant job setting the stage for what Roman society looks like, including the immense divide between free and slave. Marcus' descent into debauchery in his teenage years is deftly portrayed as is his family's unfortunate connection to the Catiline conspiracy. Julius Caesar comes alive as a sympathetic but inflexible character, determined to reward Marcus according to his merit.
When Caesar ships Marcus off to Greece, our hero finally gains the willpower to conquer his own hedonism. The military makes a man out of him, and he gains the skills necessary to be a leader. During his campaigns, Marcus proves capable of navigating the complicated politics of Judea and Egypt, giving us hints of the sophisticated politician he will one day become ("O pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, that I am meek and gentle with these butchers…")
This book is a brilliant start to the Antonius trilogy. Brook Allen captures the milieu and personages of the late Roman Republic without shying away from the brutality of the age and without serving up modern, anachronistic characters in token togas. I'm looking forward to the next title in the series.
