The Mirror a publié (19.05) un article sur les soi-disants propos d'une nanny anonyme (identifiée assez facilement comme étant Charlotte P) qui n'a jamais eu à s'occuper de MMC ni des jumeaux, mais qui a fait des pieds et des mains pour avoir ses 15 minutes de gloire à la Andy Warhol.
If you had interviewed her, what would be the one question that needs answering?
She (KMC) was crying, but almost in a catatonic state, and Gerry was very distressed. That's the one thing I really remember from him, looking under the cars. I can't forget that.
First note that she "was crying" is met with the word "but", used to emphasize the wording that follows it. The word "but" minimizes (and sometimes even negates) the information that preceded it.
Why would she need to challenge "crying" by a mother whose child has just been 'kidnapped' ? In her language, she set up a "versus" situation : "crying" versus being "catatonic state", that is one in which there is no reaction or response.
"and Gerry was very distressed". Any father of a missing child would be "very distressed." Yet, she has the need to not only tell us that which is unnecessary, but continues with detail including that it is "one thing", with "remember."
"I remember" and "I really remember". Next, please note that in an open statement, a person can only tell us what they remember. This is an indication that she is suppressing information.
The point in the article from The Mirror is that although she was not there when the disappearance took place, she could tell, later, that the McCanns had nothing to do with the disappearance, based upon their reaction.
The subject, who is not named, is not telling us all she knows. It is not just that she "remembers" but she "really remembers" which further tells us that she is not telling us all she knows. This means, at the time of the statement, she is actively engaged in thoughts that she does not want to share.
"I know" in an open statement. Could you tell something you "don't know"?
I know I didn't step into that apartment but pretty much everybody else did. So, evidence gone, nothing.
So, evidence gone, nothing. Again, an honest person speaking in an open statement can only tell us what they know. Here, she feels the need to emphasize knowledge unnecessarily with "I know", followed by telling us what she did not do. This is called the "rule of the negative."
What is it about this portion of what happened that would cause her to think of something she does not want to share? Yet, she inserts the word "but" which refutes or minimizes by comparison what preceded it. She "knows" she did not "step" into that apartment but... What follows "but" is important : "pretty much everybody else did."
So: This is to explain why : evidence gone; nothing.
Since she began with the unnecessary "I know", we must explore for the suppressed information. Note two things in particular:
1. She feels the need to explain why there is "no evidence; nothing."
2. She uses a broken sentence in doing so.
She does not claim the evidence is ruined or contaminated but in a broken sentence she says "evidence gone; nothing."
That she felt the need to explain "why" (indicting police?) is sensitive but it follows the negative and the self editing. Self editing (the broken sentence) is to stop oneself from making a complete thought : withholding information.
What does this mean?
It means the police should explore with the nanny what she is specifically concerned about here that she does not want to say. She is withholding information, even if it is irrelevant to the investigation; she believes to the contrary. Nanny sees herself aligned with the McCanns.
There was nobody there to say, 'We need to lock this off now.' The police didn't get there for ages, maybe an hour and a half (FAUX), so we were looking for her. And at the end of the day, no matter how much you've been trained with children, we were children, mainly teenagers, we're not police.
Here she explains why they looked for MMC. Would you need to explain why you looked for a missing child? Would they have not looked for her had the police gotten there earlier?
Here we see, now, the indictment of police. This shows a need to shift blame. First, "everybody" and now "police."
It began with the weak assertion of contamination of evidence where she was unable to bring herself to use a full sentence about evidence. Then she went to the police in her conclusion.
I think a lot of things should've happened differently. Unfortunately the effects were catastrophic.
If the effects were catastrophic, would you only "think" a lot of things should have been done differently? Recall, she used the wording "I know" in the interview. Is this something she does not "know" but only "thinks"? Why the weak assertion? "Things should have been done differently. Unfortunately, the effects were catastrophic."
This would show congruency between the assertion "Things should have been done differently" and the "effects" that followed. This is a subject who appears acutely aware of the controversy around her. She did not search for Madeleine with the McCanns, but "we" searched, highlighting her unity with them.
Here is what Ellen wrote. I appreciate her framing the context.
A former Portuguese police chief, who was involved in the missing persons investigation in its early stages, published a book alleging that Maddie died accidentally while she was left alone with her siblings in the resort apartment, and that her parents covered up the death.
The Mirror interview does not address why no one at the resort had been hired to look after the McCann children if child care workers were available that night, though the nanny did tell the newspaper it was "normal" for vacationing parents to spend time on resort grounds while their children were sleeping in their rooms.
Analysis Conclusion:
The Nanny struggles with her own words. She does not commit to a belief of a kidnapping, and is aligned with the parents. She may possess some information about the McCanns, however, that has brought suspicion to her mind, but does not want to share it.
She does not believe evidence of a kidnapper was destroyed.
Did YouKill Your Daughter ? - 26.04.2017
Q: Did you kill your daughter?
GM: - No…no…never…and you know, there's nothing with any logic that could, you know, you'd have to start with why, you know, how, when, who and tha…that's just simply you know that's what any these things is there's nothing to suggest anything so no – that's an emphatic no.
This is a short portion from a video. The transcripts were posted and the accuracy of the analysis is based upon the accuracy of the transcripts.
update: there is some editing out, making it difficult to get an accurate transcript.
The question was direct: "Did you kill your daughter?"
Statement Analysis of the interviews that the McCanns have given is consistent:
The child was not kidnapped nor missing.
The parents' language made the case simple to follow. Behavioral Analysis was consistent with the language.
Parents of kidnapped children move quickly due to instinct. This happens with or without police intervention.
1. They call out for their child. This is a natural instinct. They cannot cease thinking about the current status of their child and this will come into their language.
2. They will show concern for the immediate needs of the child. In their language there will be questions about her favorite toy, food, care, medicine, etc.
3. They will plead with the kidnapper. They will do exactly what a parent does when someone babysits: ensure proper care.
4. They will accept nothing less than the return.
The language will be dominant.
5. They will incessantly remember some small detail and facilitate the flow of information. They will be impatient with police, searchers, etc.
6. They will not allow for any possibility of anything other than the truth. This is called the "wall of truth" and is very powerful.
They will not entertain possibilities of guilt for themselves. See Kate McCann's embedded confession.
In the case of Madeleine McCann, we followed the parents' words.
People who support the idea of kidnapping will say the words the McCanns refused to say.
Interviewer: Did you Kill Your Daughter?
a. "No."
This may exist by itself. This would shift the burden of conversational politeness to the Interviewer because the question should be a complete disconnect from reality. This is because the subject will be so far removed from the possibility that he or she will allow the silence to push the interviewer to find another question or rebuttal. There is an "indifference" to accusations because it is not true.
Yet, even further here, we have seen cases where one can say "no" because the subject did not directly cause the death.
In one case, a man said, "I did not kill her" because he had injected his girlfriend with an unintentionally lethal dosage of heroin. The drug killed her, not him.
Yes or No questions are not powerful questions. Yet, in this case, the IR felt the need to ask and we are able to analyze the answer.
In "yes or no" questions, investigators often count every word after the word "no" as unnecessary.
b. "No. She was kidnapped and we must..." moving directly into action of not giving up, finding the kidnapper, pleading for good care for Madeleine, and so on.
a. Avoidance
b. Sensitivity to the question
c. Need to persuade
Gerry McCann -"
Q: Did you kill your daughter?
GM: - No…no…never…and you know, there's nothing with any logic that could , you know, you'd have to start with why, you know, how, when, who and tha…that's just simply you know that's what any these things is there's nothing to suggest anything so no – that's an emphatic no."
Let's look at his answer:
Q: Did you kill your daughter?
GM: - No…no…never…and you know, there's nothing with any logic that could, (?) you know, you'd have to start with why, you know, how, when, who and tha…that's just simply you know that's what any these things is there's nothing to suggest anything so no – that's an emphatic no.
We begin with "no" and count every word added to it, weakening the response.
"no" is repeated;
"never" is unreliable as this was a single specific event.
Never is used to span indefinite or lengthy time.
This is the biological father regarding a single event that took place at a specific location, date and time. "Never" seeks vagueness.
Not only is it technically "unreliable", it is most unexpected here.
a. "And you know, there's nothing with any logic that could, you know."
First notice the avoidance of the simple word "no" making the question sensitive to him.
Even after years of a public accusing him of killing her daughter the expectation remains that parental instinct will deny death and hold to still recovering her.
b. "you know" is a pause, showing our second indicator of sensitivity to the question. This actually speaks to the need to consider what to say rather than the word "no" alone, which would then put the interview burden upon the interviewer to deal with the denial.
The blunt "no" is used by several:
1. The actual innocent use it. This is especially important in the context of biological child.
2. Those who do not wish to facilitate the flow of information will use it when they are deliberately practicing short answers. See 911 call of former police chief Will McCollum for an example of "pulling teeth" to get information.
c. "you know" is not only avoidance of "yes or no", and a pause for time to think, it is also a habit of speech that arises when a subject has acute awareness of either the interviewer and/or the interviewer/audience (TV).
What do we do with a habit of speech?
We note what words provoke it and what words do not.
Here, the simple "yes or no" question has produced sensitivity indicators which means that the question of killing her is sensitive.
He could have said, "no", even if they had blamed the sedation or accident on the death, yet it may be that the subject is considering himself as ultimately responsible, as a father.
have some concerns from their language about other activities that I did not address in the interview due to the technical nature of the principles (it would have been beyond explaining to a general audience) but even in such cases of possible sexual abuse, we find complexity. This complexity can show itself as incongruent language; one is a caring responsible parent at times, while a negligent, abusive parent another time.
Here, we may consider that the subject might be considering his own culpability in her death, even if unintended as the language indicates.
The sensitivity continues to this question:
"And you know, there's nothing with any logic that could, you know...
"you know" is repeated. This question is to be considered "very sensitive" to him.
Now: "And you know, there's nothing with any logic that kids could, you know...
"there's nothing" goes immediately to proving his innocence, rather than denying any responsibility for Madeleine's death.
This is a signal of self preservation and explains the need to pause and the increases in sensitivity:
he must protect himself rather than deny.
"There's nothing" (what does "nothing" look like?) is now qualified:
"with any logic"
Rather than deny killing his daughter, he now employs as a distraction, motive.
An innocent has no need to explore motive, true enough, but so much more when we consider context:
He is using energy to defend himself by refusing to deny, but by claiming it is not logical. Yet, the broken sentence indicates self censoring.
Instead of saying "no" and allowing the wall of truth to leave it there, he avoids a denial and introduces the word "logic" where he should have complete linguistic disinterest.
Even if he had been arrested, this would be something his attorney would argue while he, the innocent, would be focused upon negotiations and pleadings with the kidnapper to:
a. return Maddie
b. feed her
c. give her her favorite ______-
d. share information with the kidnapper to comfort Maddie
e. express the utter impotence that inflames parental instinct.
Maddie was three.
This means he had, from the beginning, rocked her to sleep, held her to comfort her, relieved her distress in changing diaper, making her warm, etc, and had kissed and bandaged her falls and cuts.
Suddenly, in a kidnapping, this is all stolen from him. It causes traumatic frustration in un fulfilled parental instinct. It can cause mental health issues.
Consider the ancient wisdom about the mother bear robbed of her whelps.
Parental instinct is powerful and creative.
It is also missing from the language of the parents.
Question: How could this be?
Answer: Acceptance of Madeleine's death.
It is in death's acceptance that the instinctive frustration is extinguished --and even this takes time.
The language of parents who have lost children to death reveals this frustration. They feel guilty for not being able to intervene any longer in their child and it takes time to process and resolve into acceptance.
Even mothers who have found their children dead will often "rub" them trying to warm their bodies, and cover them with a blanket to "protect, shield and dignify" the child. It is heartbreaking.
Falsely accused of missing children care little or nothing for accusers, articles, personal insults; they just want their child back. "just" being the operative word: the other issues pale in comparison.
Here we see the priority of the subject come through in his answer:
Rather than denial, he indicates that he has explored various explanations in logic.
It is like saying "it does not make sense."
Consider this statement in line with his wife's statement about normal and routine where things "did not" go wrong. This was likely a reference to sedation.
If you've ever had a fussy sick child, you were glad to have medicine that alleviated the symptoms and helped the child fall asleep. It is in everyone's best interest.
Now consider an anesthesiologist as a professional and listen to the interview.
"And you know, there's nothing with any logic that could, you know...
It is not just "logic" but further exploration of "any" logic. This is to broaden a personal defense rather than deny according to the question.
"And you know, there's nothing with any logic that could, you know...
Any logic that "could", in regard to the question of killing his daughter. This speaks to the application of "any logic" in the future/conditional tense.
He is addressing defense proofs in a scenario that does not exist. he is not in court and...
his child is still "missing" and in someone else's hands, allegedly, according to the narrative.
In what could have been a very boring question, we find a pattern emerge:
The need to persuade rather than truthfully report.
This is the theme of his answer.
He begins with a diversion to become argumentative in a position where no argument is needed.
He does not move towards Madeleine linguistically (as expected) but is in "self" mode, specifically in motive or evidence.
Rather than deny, the sensitivity continues.
This is an abundance of words that are employed rather than the single word "no."
You would have to start with why?
He wants to know what "you" (interviewer/audience) thinks of motive.
Q. Why would he want this?
A. so he can attempt to rebut it.
This affirms consistency of unintended death by negligence. The focus is upon self, not the denial and not the child.
After "why" (motive) he now continues:
This is the methodology that he addresses rather than saying "no."
This is the time frame of Maddie's death that is concerning to him.
This is to answer the question "Did you...?" with a question, "Who?"
What does this mean?
Beyond the obvious "answering a question with a question" that parents of teenagers know all about, he is signaling that "did you?", singular, is insufficient.
This is an indicator that both parents were in agreement with the sedation, neglect and cover up, and have been since.
And there's just
simply, you know, no answer to any of these things
Here he presents the questions and tells us in passive voice that there are "just simply, you know, no answer", which is singular.
There are answers.
"just simply" is to make a simple conclusion from one who has, still, refused to answer the question.
"just" is a dependent word indicating he is comparing "simple" to "complex" (or something that is not simple).
This comes from not a single question, but a series of questions:
1. Why?
2. How?
3. When?
4. Who?
The order is important.
None of the questions has to do with kidnapping. All are presupposing that Madeline is deceased.
It is interesting to note that "who" comes after "how" and "when." This makes "who" at the bottom. "Why?" is first.
– there's nothing
to suggest anything.
Here the question is about killing his daughter, not about how she was killed.
It is not about when she was killed.
It was not about who killed her.
It is about "you"; with "Did you kill your daughter?"
He introduces, in his answer, other questions which not only avoid the denial, but also avoid any assertion that Madeleine was "taken" from them by a kidnapper.
This is not part of his verbalized perception of reality, nor has it been.
From the beginning, they used language that indicated acceptance of her death.
As parents, they showed no linguistic concern for her well being under a kidnapper, when asked.
This is not because they are uncaring but it is because they knew she was not with a kidnapper and she was beyond the workings of parental protective and provisional instincts.
He now gets to the answer:
So no –
The "no" is conditional. He answers, "Did you kill your daughter" by a conditional response:
Since he has no answers as to "how" and "when" he therefore ("so") issues "no" but immediately weakens it with unnecessary emphasis:
that's an emphatic 'no'."
He even employs the word "emphatic" as a need to persuade.
Analysis Conclusion:
The question "Did you kill your daughter" is given enough sensitivity indicators to conclude:
Deception Indicated.
This indicates parental responsibility. He is not one who has utterly divorced himself from it. This should be understood in light of being a father:
His daughter was supposed to be in the hands of a stranger, yet as a father, he gave no linguistic concern for her well being, nor attempts to retrieve her.
By the time he gets to a denial, he has already given us an abundance of information, particularly, that Madeleine was never "missing" and "alive" via the presentation of questions.
The questions are designed to divert, but the specific questions chosen reveal his own thinking.
Even when deceptive people speak, we must listen as their words reveal content.
Here, his words reveal careful consideration to potential criminal litigation against him rather than assertion of both innocence and the kidnapping of the child.
This is consistent with the McCanns' statements throughout the years, as well as their media campaign and attacks upon those who refuse to believe them.

Watch Donald Trump Get Booed In The First Five Minutes Of The GOP Debate — VIDEO
Well, Donald Trump has already been booed by the crowd in the GOP debate, and he barely opened his mouth. He's clearly the clown card tonight, and his co-debators are taking notice, too. Let's take a look at this Vine and watch Donald Trump get booed in the first five minutes of the GOP Debate. And replay it over and over again for the rest of the debate.
When asked about his comments on China, he told the moderators that he would "build a big beautiful door" to be sure that people enter our country legally. I wonder if he'll call it the "Trump China door." Moderators seem to be taking full notice of the things Trump has said since announcing his candidacy, including single-payer healthcare and immigration. But it's no surprise that he is making his co-debators roll their eyes and boo. Yes, Donald Trump was booed, just minutes in to this debate, but he's not done yet.
Trump knows he's not the most popular guy in the crowd. "I don't think they like me very much," she told Megyn Kelly after she challenged him on his abortion views. He tried really hard to be the most pro-choice he possibly can, and is pulling out all the stops, including comparing his views to that of former President Ronald Reagan. (Note: This Reagan comparison was a trend during the first debate today). Everyone just really loves good ol' Ron.
But most of all, Trump wants everyone to know that he's not going to apologize for what he says. In recent interviews, Jeb Bush has criticized Trump's tone of voice, and he was the first to tell Bush, and anyone else, that Donald's gonna say what Donald's gonna say. Keep the boos coming.

Solution: Spybot - Search & Destroy Crashes Your Windows 7 Operating System and Shuts Down Computer
Does Spybot-S&D (Spybot-Search & Destroy) crash your Windows operating system and your computer? Do you find that part-way through a Spybot spyware scan your computer mysteriously switches off? Then check to make sure that you do not have any additional security software running in real-time in the background. And if you do have other security scanners running, such as anti-virus software, shut them down before you make a scan with Spybot S&D.
For example, if you have Threatfire (from PC Tools) running in the background, then "suspend" its operation. Or if you have Microsoft Security Essentials running in real-time, then go to the Microsoft Security Essentials settings and turn off Real-time Protection.
If you are running Avast, AVG, Norton, PC Tools, Trend Micro, or any other antivirus software in real-time, in the background, so that the software is constantly checking your computer for threats, then shut those real-time security processes down before you start a Spybot scan.

To do so, every ministry involved will sponsor particular activities. The MIPAAF (Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies) supports the creation a promotional video for every region to be included in Expo Italian Pavilion as well as an innovative master on territorial development devoted to young people, who will become "scientific ambassadors". On the other hand, the MIBACT (Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Activities and Tourism) devoted 20 cultural sites (14 under the UNESCO's patronage) to host events linked to Expo 2015. Through its network of embassies, consulates and cultural institutes, the Foreign Affairs Ministry worked as an advertising platform for the initiatives taking place so that many other international visitors could know about Expo and Territories. The Education Ministry will employ about 5,000 students who, after being trained, will welcome the tourists in the sites of interest while the Ministry of the Environment and Protection of Land and Sea (MATTM) will offer 14 specific paths in natural reserves and 2 in protected maritime areas.
Worth mentioning is that Italy is very proud of some "excellences" involved in the project. In particular, the UNESCO sites like the Residencies of the Royal House of Savoy (in Turin), Portovenere and Cinque Terre (Liguria), Villa d'Este (Tivoli) and Assisi religious sites. Nonetheless, exclusive wines like Barbaresco and Borolo (from Piedmont) but also Chianti (Tuscany) will highlight Italian skills. Lastly, Lombardy will show outstanding milk and extra virgin olive oil and Sicily will emerge for its world known Bronte Pistachio.

Victorian Themed Walks
Every couple of weeks we will aim to highlight the variety of walks available to you during this years Isle of Wight Walking Festival – today we are kick starting with a handful of Victorian themed walks.
The Isle of Wight is often referred to as 'Victoria's Island' as Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, along with other members of the Royal Family, relished their extended family holidays here. They created a palatial home in the form of the picturesque Osborne House which is now open to thousands of visitors a year. It is thanks to these wealthy Victorians that the Isle of Wight is the much-visited destination that we know and love today.
Not only are we celebrating the 21st birthday of the Isle of Wight Walking Festival this year, but it also would have been Queen Victoria's 200th birthday on 24th May 2019 so it's fantastic to see so many walks celebrating this era.
For the historians amongst you who are interested in walking the same paths as these Royals, we can suggest the following walks for you to try:
Victoria's daughter wasn't naughty
5 miles
4th and 17th May
Queen Victoria's East Cowes

Leukemia is a type of cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue, such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal white blood cells to be produced and enter the bloodstream. Unlike normal blood cells, leukemia cells don't die when they become old or damaged, so they can build up and crowd out normal blood cells. The resulting low level of normal blood cells can make it harder for the body to get oxygen to tissue, control bleeding, and fight infections. Leukemia cells also can spread to other organs, such as the lymph nodes, spleen, and brain. There is no cure for leukemia, but it may be treated with chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, radiation, or stem cell transplant.
Acute leukemia usually develops quickly and tends to cause fatigue, easy bruising, and frequent infections. Chronic leukemia usually develops slowly, with the leukemia cells working almost as well as normal white blood cells. Patients may not feel sick at first, but if not treated the leukemia cells may later crowd out normal blood cells. Leukemias also are named for the type of white blood cell that is affected. Leukemia that starts in myeloid cells is called myeloid, myelogenous, or myeloblasticleukemia. Leukemia that starts in lymphoid cells is called lymphoid, lymphoblastic, or lymphocyticleukemia. The four most common types of leukemia are acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

We can waste our lives wondering if we've made the right choices; or we can own them.
Title - Written in the Stars
Author - Ali Harris
Publication Date - June 5th 2014
Publisher - Simon & Schuster UK
Format - eBook
Pages - 400
The blurb
Bea Bishop is horrible at making decisions. Forget big life ones, even everyday choices seem to paralyse her. She's learned to live with this because experience has taught her that it doesn't matter what you do, no one has the power to control destiny. Anyone who believes they can is a fool.
But as her wedding day approaches, her years of indecision are weighing heavily on her, and she can't help but wonder, 'What if, what if, what if...' What if she hadn't upped sticks and moved to London? What if she hadn't grabbed the first job that came along and settled down with the first guy who showed an interest? But all of her questions are silenced when she slips while walking down the aisle and is knocked unconscious. In this split second her life splits into two: in one existence, Bea flees back down the aisle and out of the church. In the other she glides blissfully towards her intended.
But which story will lead to her happily ever after?
Becca's thoughts
I'll be starting my review of Written in the Stars by Ali Harris in the same way that I do most, and that is by thanking the wonderful publishers Simon & Schuster UK for accepting me via Net Galley, and allowing me to get hold of an eBook copy of this absolutely breathtaking story. Seriously, thank you! This is one of those books that I like to refer to as a 'life changer.'
Adding onto that, how can I not thank the author Ali Harris for delivering such a moving, beautiful, masterpiece of a book? I love books, I do. I especially love romance. But this, ladies and gentlemen, is something way beyond that, something that will stay in my head and in my heart for a very long time indeed. Ali Harris, not only have you created something that I can't describe with any other word except for perfect, but you've managed to make me feel complete once more, and for that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
In Written in the Stars, we are introduced to Ali's main character Bea. The author swoops in and drops us straight into Bea's wedding. As she makes her way down the aisle towards her intended Adam, she slips and tumbles to the floor, knocking herself unconscious. And in that one moment, her world splits down the middle...
Amazing. I just cannot put into words how in awe I was of Ali's chosen structure of her story. Not only are we reading about Bea's present life, but we're reading about her other life too. This other life being the life she would be living if she had made just one choice differently. Never have I been so stunned at the way an author has written a book. Never in my life. It was two Beas, two life paths, and a million choices. Honestly readers, I think I'm still trying to get over it as I type so that's why I'm not making much sense, but please, please, please trust me when I say that Written in the Stars will make you look at everything differently.
Ali's main character Bea was just wonderful in every single sense of the word. When I read about her past and her history I did want to pull her to one side and give her hug because she'd had it tough, especially when it came to her absent father. The whole father thing though? That's what I got. And from the way Ali wrote about the matter, I felt like she kinda' got me too. I guess you could say that I was in the same boat as Bea (Still am), where I don't know my father, and everything that Bea went through, all the emotions and thoughts, I've been through that too, and there are still days today where I go through it. But do you know how nice it is to read about a fictional character who hasn't got both parents in the picture, who has a father that just disappeared? Bea will be one of my most favourite fictional characters from now on because I feel like she just gets me, and that my friends, is one of the best feelings in the world. It really, truly is.
Reading Written in the Stars was like watching magic take place. Reading about Bea doing one thing, and then in the next chapter she was doing something else was just mind-blowing, but incredibly entertaining at the same time. I just couldn't get enough. This is the first book that I have ever read that has been written in such an unusual but fantastic way and I can't stop thinking about it, even now. It really made me sit back and think, what would I be doing right now if I had made that one decision differently? It got inside my head and underneath my skin and I had to stop myself from shrieking each time something major happened within the pages. It was unique, enchanting and it spoke straight to my heart.
Book lovers from around the world, I hate to say it but no matter how hard I try, I feel that I will never be able to do this breathtaking story justice. Every page, every chapter, every word felt like I was peeking through the looking glass into this other world. Not only is this a story about finding your way to where you're meant to be, but it's about love, family and trusting yourself to make your own decisions in this big wide world, and knowing that one day, you'll be right where you need to be, at the perfect moment too.
It would be stupid of me to rate Written in the Stars by Ali Harris with anything other than the highest rating! I feel like throwing my hands in the air and screaming, "I love life!" after reading it, and I adore when books leave you thinking about life in a completely different way. Thank you Ali, what a beautiful, life-affirming journey that was. That's five cupcakes from Becca's Books!

(Reuters) - Federal authorities have captured a Colorado bank robber known as the "Scream Robber", less than a month after he was placed on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list, the agency said.
The FBI took Myloh Jaqory Mason, 25, into custody at a motel in Thornton, Colorado, north of Denver, on Friday on several charges including attempted first-degree murder and aggravated robbery, the FBI said in a statement.
It said Mason is believed to have robbed a bank in September in Lakewood, Colorado, just west of Denver, where he and two other suspects wore costumes and masks from the movie "Scream", a horror film released in 1996.
The masks were inspired by Edvard Munch's 1893 painting "The Scream".
Mason is also accused of robbing another bank with two other suspects in Lakewood in November while wearing bright green and white skeleton masks. They shot two people during their getaway, the FBI said.
"The crimes allegedly committed by Mason and his accomplices on November 18 made clearly evident his extreme danger to the entire public," Lakewood Police Chief Kevin Paletta said in the FBI's statement.
It is unclear whether the other suspects have been captured.
Mason was placed on the agency's "Ten Most Wanted" list on Dec. 17, becoming the 505th person to be placed on the list since it was created in 1950, the FBI said.

Larry Dodgen, the retired Army lieutenant general who led the Army Space and Strategic Command before joining Northrop Grumman, died Saturday of an apparent heart attack while playing tennis near his home in Huntsville, Ala. He was 60. A memorial service will be held Thursday morning in Huntsville, with burial at Arlington National Cemetery in early March.
A company official said Dodgen's unexpected death "is significant on many levels" for the company.
The company issued the following statement late yesterday. "We extend our deepest sympathies to Larry Dodgen's family and friends at his sudden passing. His leadership and outstanding service to our country and to our company will be greatly missed. Throughout his distinguished Army career, Gen. Dodgen was in the forefront of defending freedom, most notably when he led his battalion into combat in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm in 1993. At Northrop Grumman, we were all looking forward to his new role in Huntsville, and his loss is a great shock. "
Dodgen was the top executive for Northrop Grumman's Missile Defense Integration Group, which coordinates the company's missile defense growth strategies. He also led the company's operations in Huntsville, Ala. He was appointed to that position effective Oct. 1, 2009. He joined the company in April 2007.
Interment will be at Arlington National Cemetery following a service at the Old Post Chapel at Fort Myer, Va., March 11 at 1 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family wishes to have donations made to the American Heart Association.

Natural Hair: Ages 12 and Under?
Has anyone given you the impression or straight up told you that natural hair was for children? An ex of mine wasn't diggin' the natural (always thought that was weird since I had a TWA when we met but anyhoo). According to him, natural hair was "for kids". As you can see, my natural continued to win my affections, but I'm not talking about relationship drama due to going natural or being natural. I'm simply curious as to why kinks, curls and coils would be deemed acceptable only until a certain age.
I think this point of view is still alive for many and it perplexes me. Anyone deal with this directly? Anecdotes? Thoughts?
September 7, 2011 11:22 am
I never encountered this viewpoint in real life. With that said, I think it stems from the fact that many little girls of African descent got their first relaxer at the age of ten/eleven/twelve as a "rite of passage" into womanhood. This is not my experience (I got my first relaxer at age five and contined to get them until age 17) but I could see how such a cultural practice would lead one to think natural hair was for children.
purpleafroprincess permalinkSeptember 8, 2011 3:45 pm
And boys :-* Smh!
I@ve not heard the 'natural hair is for kids' thing- just boys- i get- "but you're such a nice looking girl"
So now i'm ugly with my natural fro huh
P.s. I've shaved off all my hair now- so it's a twa and a wash and go! I hate to say it but i don't miss all the hard work :-*
September 19, 2011 10:59 am
I have heard of it. I've also heard natural hair is for artists but not for serious professionals.
With natural hair, I have generally been mistaken for very young (14 is the worst so far!) but generally 19-21. I will be 30 next year. Strangely enough when I had straight hair or extension braids I was generally marked at close enough to my age or significantly older. Whenever I took out the braids it was back to the teen years lol.

20 Dec Updated Safeguarding and school governance module available
Further to the recent release of the Introduction to safeguarding and child protection module, Modern Governor subscribers now have access to the completely revised module which aims to equip all governors and trustees – not just those designated as having a role in safeguarding – to hold their institutions and colleagues to account in this crucial area. The module is based around the understanding that giving all members of a board a common understanding of the issues in a particular area allows us to hold one another to account in that area and, when that shared understanding exists, we can be more effective in ensuring our school or academy is carrying out its responsibilities.
The module's structure

The module is broken down into four main sections:
- Introduction – an overview of safeguarding & relevant legislation
- Safeguarding in schools – what safeguarding means in the context of a school & how this relates to governance
- Safeguarding policies, procedure and practice – the detail of what governors & trustees are required to undertake regarding safeguarding
- Culture of vigilance – institutional culture and the roles of stakeholders in safeguarding.
In common with all Modern Governor modules, once they've finished governors are able to download a personalised certificate in PDF format as evidence of completion of the module. On request representatives from a local authority, diocese, academy trust or chain, or if required the school's development governor can easily run an online report showing detailed course enrolment and completion statistics by governors from a school, academy or (with appropriate permissions) across a trust, chain, diocese or local authority.

Renwick, James
Renwick, James,1818–95, American architect, b. New York City, grad. Columbia, 1836. His design for Grace Church (1843–46) in New York City was followed by that for St. Patrick's Cathedral; he was chosen as architect for the cathedral in 1853, and it was dedicated in 1879, the most ambitious essay in Gothic that the revival of the style produced. In Washington he built the original Corcoran Gallery (now the Renwick Gallery) and the Smithsonian Institution. Other of his works were the first building of Vassar College and the distribution reservoir for the Croton Aqueduct in New York.
Renwick, James(1818–1895)
At 24, Renwick won the commission to design Grace Church in New York City (1843). Later he designed St. Patrick's Cathedral (1858), NYC, a vast Gothic church. He also designed the Smithsonian's "castle" (1847), in Washington, DC, and the original Corcoran Gallery (1859), now the Renwick Gallery in Washington, DC.

Imagine seeing car on the very crowded road going in opposite direction. That car would be wrecked before it gets fined right ?
Now imagine Plarium makes it indestructible (shield) and nonpunishable (there is no rule which forbids player to do whatever he wants as long as he doesn't cheat). That road becomes 1 desolate place and Plarium loses players who don't want merely to change kingdoms because they could find another lunatic in any kingdom.
Plarium needs to make some sort of regulations, even if it has to be - reporting directly to developers for ill treatment of players in the game. Because when first bans occur, those cases will become ever so rare.
We have one crazy guy in kingdom 520 who is ruining game for everyone else - he is attacking with his small clan tiles of medium and small players from every clan, whether it is KVK, KVKR, CVC or non event. So..... please Plarium, make some regulations and do something about this. We are losing comarades who don't wanna play anymore and you Plarium are losing your clients.

Frustrating, or annoying , as it is for you, and the other players, it is very unlikely that Plarium will do anything about this.
First it is not against the rules,secondly it is a war game, and this is how this type of game is supposed to work.
Though because of the way the game has changed, and can be played, some kingdoms have decided not to use tile hits.
It is not impossible to avoid tile hits, or to minimise the loss if you are tile hit.
It is also possible to shield the tile for 1 - 3 hrs ( they may be stackable, I never tried this) if you have a domain guard.
This strategy may not work , because he is too good a player, and likes to play the game this way, but the only chance I think you have is for all the clans to unite against him.
Unfortunately you will have to persuade these to help you, if they are not being bothered it may be of no interest,or little concern to them, as it seems he is only attacking weaker players.

I understand what are you saying, but this is very peculiar situation when some rules must exist for abuse. Rules are applied and changed not only in RL but in games also, Plarium isn't very different from that and it must be flexible and react to anything which can harm their project.
We are not different from other kingdoms in terms of agreements that are not in the book, we applied all good stuff we could, non hitting policy during CVC or KVK even when same kingdom clans are at war, purge 1 or 2 hours before KVK and other useful stuff... However, this small clan and his leader is using this non regulative field. Not only they attack every member from every clan no matter how big clan was, but they are actually asking for compensation in resources - they are blackmailing us so that some clan wouldn't be attacked.
We can't do anything about that. They can get zeroed by us, which happened before but is hard to do bcs of quick shielding and they usually don't harvest themselves. Still, it is futile since their only purpose is to make troops for this kind of tactic. They exist to bully and ask to be payed for attacks to stop. And we are not talking about small amounts of rss and hurt ego.
Whole kingdom is affected by it, all clans possible. We are losing events and people are leaving the game.
I think that even in war games there must be rules. LIke not hitting below belt and similar stuff.

Well it is very important for no one to pay them rss so they are not attacked ... and well maybe try some tile traps ... and yes bullies are a pain in game just as in life ...
Not sure what kind of rules you would suggest that would "work" ...

One to watch on tile he is attacking, other on his town when troops are returning. If he suffers losses in many of his endeavours, if he can't have resources in town to train his troops, he will come to his senses and stop doing what he is doing.

Hello everyone !
I am one of those "medium and small players" who get constantly attacked.
I agree with you : we are not playing Farmville. Vikings is a fighting game, fair enough. You have to understand that we are not talking about one or two hits per day. It can go up to twenty or more attacks per player per day. I have lost over 2.5M troops since this has begun (not a neutral amount for a small player).
This is a fighting game once again. You attack, you win, you loose. There is a big difference from one hit that can zero a player and 100 or more hits that can prevent the player to ... play. That is bullying.
We have discussed with this clan and we always get the answer : pay us and we'll stop attacking. That is blackmail. We have asked the Kingdom oldest players to discuss with them. Same answers. We have tried traps (town & yielding). They have been zeroed. We have "named and shamed" on the common chat.
We are loosing not only events due to this clan but players. After a 20 hits day, I basically just login in the morning, get the daily bonus and come back the next day.
Rules should be implemented. I have read the T&C and there is nothing about bullying. On my opinion, Plarium needs to implement rules to prevent it.

Not every player is the same. Although there are many players who like to fight, mines are placed on maps with purpose, and we need to accept the fact that there are many players, especially small ones, who like to harvest or they see it as bonus thing (especially lvl 7 mines or Uber mines).

Firstly I feel really sorry for your clan and kingdom, idiot bullies with deep pockets are real problem (not only in game, but RL also), but don't go crazy with ideas.

This one is UTTER nonsense. If I won't be able to shield up straight after attacking I'm quitting this game. And I'm not be only one, that's beyond nonsense. And in one minute after first attack I would be burned to the ground. This is NOT Farmville, but WAR of clans.
There are better methods, than banning shielding up straight after attack. As CIM said you should NEVER EVER EVER pay ransom to bullies, that's basic common sense - if you pay once they will be always coming back for more easy rss. And the only thing they fear is to KOS by all kingdom clans. Again and again and again. This can take weeks, months, but it might wear them off.
And if that won't work there are drakkars in bank packs - sail away to other kingdom.
Last, but not least - technically your idea is impossible to implement btw because of "if there is arranged peace among all clans" fraze - there's NEVER peace between ALL clans; there are players NOT in any clan actively playing; there's no authority one can declare kingdom peace to; every kingdom-wide peace is individual and informal agreement between players (ancient words: gentleman's agreement); and so on, and so on.
Good luck with chasing them, but IMAO too many rules and regulations will kill off not only this game, but everything in real life.

I was asked for possible solution and gave one that was on top of my head different than permanent ban.
Now about your criticism... I know that this is not Farmwille, but as I explained before, mines exist as part of it whether it's called war of clans or not, and they come as a prize in 2 of 3 cases, in other words - you just can not neglect it.
Second, if KOS abbreviation means kill on sight, we already tried to hunt them down, we had successful attacks in several occasions, but they regenerate fast and can attack with just 50K T1 if needed. As I explained before - normal people are fed up with it and don't have patience for such situations anymore. Those who should be weared off are actually enjoying themselves.
Third, about drakkars... I understand that they are made for moving, but such action has several bad implications: we are talking about large community who should succumb to minority and move somewhere. Seems to me same as giving them rss. Since we are community, we like playing with each other, which means we should move together somewhere, which also means that nobody can stop rogues to follow us around.
Fourth, for the first time since I play this game, we are talking about things that could help small towns in distress. Other changes were made mainly for big spenders and I don't want to get into talk are they good or bad, only that they exist as such. I understand that my proposition has some holes and I am not insisting on it, but give us at least chance to acquire 1,2,3, official warnings from Plarium itself, which would lead to ban of those game destroyers.
I wish you all game without such situation as we have. Since we 520 have it, it means it is probable to happen elsewhere too. Constructive solutions could help us all in the long run.

Is it possible to starve him/them into submission?
Without ransom payments if they are not yielding how do they get the resources to build?
Are they hyper farming , have big towns, buying resources?
It costs bonuses to be constantly be porting around the kingdom, and dropping shields and re-shielding.
Are you all wanting to go to a tile and then leave the game? A risky business especially with their behaviour.
If you only send 1 March and watch for any attack you should be able cancel before you get hit.
If you only send a few troops you don't risk so much loss, though you wont yield as much.
If it isn't cost effective to hit you it may help solve things.
Drastic , but everyone could stop playing so there's nothing to hit.
Of course its possible you cannot beat him if he is so dogged to be a nuisance.

This is a very interesting question. Let me look at it another way. Let's say that you are a small to medium clan and you see a different way to play that is fun for you, within the rules of the game, and also irritates other players that have persecuted you in the past - why not do it? Yielding resources is only one part of the game, you don't have to do it and there will always be a risk. No, I'm not from kingdom 520 and I don't do this but not everybody wants to play the same way and that's what makes the game interesting.
I do not think that Plarium will do anything about it for two reasons.
First, the players are playing within the rules of the game. There are quite a number of situations where players make use of something within the game to gain advantage over other players but Plarium seem reluctant to change the rules - the only one I recall is the rule about having to stay in a clan for a day now.
Second, with the introduction of the Sanctuary of the Aesir, Plarium is encouraging more fighting because you need to kill to summon some of the Aesir. True, they have to be from enemy kingdom but it encourages people to tile hit to get Soul Shards.

I understand all your arguments and I appreciate your replies.
Please remember they are attacking all clans on the map. Not just one, but all. The leader of that clan said to me once that K520 needs to get rid of the dead meat that prevents us to win KvK(R). So the casus belli is not like someone did something wrong to them. This clan decided out of nowhere to harass every single clan.
We thought it will last for couple of weeks. We had wars between clans in the past, there is no like absolute power to decide peace for the whole kingdom. Wars have been sorted out in days, this thing is going for months now.
Starving them to death ? Tile hitting them in return ? Been there, done that. We have even "occupy" their SH for a week with all clans united to prevent them from yielding. They simply buy resources at the bank.And keep bullying players. During Kvk, Kvk(R), CvC ... Harassing players for all clans. I got 11 hits yesterday, maybe double for my clan. I don't have access (obviously) to other clans stats. And that is them being on a "good" day (from our point of view).
So Plarium is happy with these paying customers. They fight (to get shards or whatever reason), they pay to get bigger. They harass players. Plarium is loosing potential customers who just stopped playing, because it is no longer fun to play. Which is the first reason everybody join in the first place. Fun.

I don't see how tile hitting players during KvK(R) will help "get rid of the dead meat that prevents us to win KvK(R)" so your problem chief is wrong there.
Tile hitting during KvK is another matter. You were tile hit 11 times yesterday during KvK. If the enemy had hit those tiles you would give away more points than you would gain from successful yields. As I said before, yielding is only one part of the game. There are strategies to win without yielding. Sure, you won't win everything but then one never does.
What you call "bullying" is exactly what happens in the first month or two in every kingdom and many paying players are lost yet the game is not changed.

There's no good solution for this. If rouge clan is spending real money Plarium is not going to do anything. I'm aware, that rest of 520 is spending some money too, but to be rouge one requires deeper pockets.
I like to farm rss tiles myself, ain't spending hundreds of pounds to buy packs and need materials same time, so permanent tile hitting is a real bummer. RSS tiles are part of the game, but Plarium is not going to do anything if bullies are spending real money, that's company's policy - 'Rip 'em off"
Except stopping paying ransome and KOS them there's no useful option. They are having fun obviously ruining game for others, getting kills and free rss, not breaking any rules. If you said war with them made no difference IMAO it's time to put sails on masts and go somewhere else. It's not the greatest option, meaning leaving ppl behind, risking rouges will follow or finding even worst ones.

Well I guess they pay something minimal for minimal purposes, bcs it is small clan with 5-10 members who engage attacks and same amount who don't, where only leader is with1,5B influence and rest of them are from 50m-250m influence. I was wondering myself how do they survive being minimalistic and spending so much on tile hits (it can be costly per day session), maybe answer lies in fact they are not growing at all.
One of their users was innactive for 7 days. I thought that I was the only one who payed guard from that town to see time of losing shield, I didn't expect 5 different clans doing the same when we all surrounded him that night. Should put things into perspective how watched they are. Still, we can't make them stop. They don't act like normal people and don't have normal goals or feelings.
If someone told me that after 1 year (exactly how our kingdom is old now), we would still be playing like in the beginning, like we still need to learn processes and rules of the game, I would not engage myself so much into this and would look at it as totally opposite thing for what games are made - FUN. I wouldn't log in ever more and have 1 single moment of regret.

It would seem that you are presently in a no win scenario.
That only 5 towns behave like this would suggest that it might be only one person.
If its 5 or 1 player with hyperfarms, the ransom resources asked for wouldnt really be needed.
I would suggest if you havent already done so that you set up hyperfarming,and then if the need is still there,only yield from the special tiles with 1 march with minimal troops, that you watch and recall if you see an attack coming.
