For our 25th anniversary in 2002, founder member Ian Maxted wrote Jubilee: a short history of the Local Studies Group, which is published below in the form agreed at a special meeting of the committee on 4 November 2002.
There have been some changes to the group since 2002, so please contact us for up-to-date information.
1.1 The beginnings
The genesis of the Local Studies Group (LSG) lies in the year 1973 with the formation of the Local Studies sub-group of the Reference, Specal and Information Services group (RSIS). It was formed largely under the initiative of Dorothy McCulla, head of the local studies service in Birmingham, whose dynamism shines through in her messages in early issues of the LSG newsletter. The first meeting of the committee was held in November 1973 with her in the chair following a preliminary meeting in Birmingham in 1972. The membership of the sub-group grew to such an extent that by 1977 it was felt that the interests of local studies librarians would be better served by an independent group. On 1 December 1977 the inaugural meeting was held at Guildhall Library, London when those attending were addressed by Professor Maurice Beresford on the uses of local history resources.
A main aim of the Group was to counteract the isolation of local studies librarians and this remains a continuing task. Even in the 1980s the editor of the Local Studies Librarian (Local studies librarian, vol.6 no.2) could point out that at least two local studies librarians where busy compiling parish packs blissfully unaware of each others activity in the field. Nevertheless the activities of the LSG have done much to bring local studies staff together.
The LSG has continually reassessed its role. In 1987 a "think tank" was set up which the following year made various proposals on publicity, publications and the branch structure. A mission statement was published in 1995 (Local studies librarian vol.14 no.2) which codified much that the LSG had been doing for many years, and each committee meeting brings new ideas forward.
2. Constitution
The tedious part of setting up any new organisation lies in forming a sustainable structure and browbeating individuals into committing themselves to its work. Local studies librarians are busy people and it says much for the inherent interest of their work that an enthusiastic band of people has been found over the years.
2.1 Committee
A committee was established from the start and has generally met three times a year. For a long time meetings alternated between the Library Association headquarters in London and Birmingham but at present it meets three times a year in Birmingham Central Library.
Beside the officers and normal members there have since the 1980s been representatives of LSG branches, including since the mid 1990s, a representative of Local History Panel of the Library and Information Services Council of Northern Ireland. Since the mid 1990s a liaison officer from the LA (and now CILIP) has been attached to the Group and they have each brought special expertise, Sandy Norman her knowledge of intellectual property law and Jill Martin her work in the international arena. After the formation of CILIP Damien McManus became liaison officer in 2002.
Since about 1990 too there has been a LA/CILIP councillor from the committee who represents the Group's interests and is normally attached to an appropriate committee. Those who have served in this capacity, which can involve the devouring of considerable quantities of paperwork, are Paul Sturges, Neil Bruce, Albert Hartley and Elizabeth Melrose.
The Committee has been most fortunate in continuity of membership. Ian Jamieson has been a member since 1977, Diana Winterbotham from the earliest days until 1993, some time after her retirement. Elizabeth Melrose has served since 1981, Ian Maxted since 1982 with a gap between 1988 and 1990. This was because of pressure of work, and it is a tribute to members of the main and branch committees that they are able to devote so much time to LSG affairs amid their busy workload. Other members of the current committee who have served for ten years or more include Philippa Stevens of Hampshire (1988), Alice Lock of Tameside (1990) and Don Martin of East Dunbartonshire (1981).
2.2 Chairman
There have been five chairmen (the LSG has avoided the term "chair") during the first quarter century. The first was Dorothy McCulla of Birmingham Library, who served from 1973 until her untimely death on 7 March 1981. She was succeeded by:
- 1981-89 Chris Makepeace, Greater Manchester Planning Department
- 1990-94 Ian Jamieson, Newcastle Polytechnic (University of Northumbria)
- 1995-2001 Elizabeth Melrose, Lincolnshire, then North Yorkshire Libraries
- 2001- Ian Maxted, Devon Libraries
2.3 Secretary
There have been four secretaries in the 25 years since the establishment of the LSG. The work of an efficient secretary can make the role of the chairman a sinecure, as the present chairman can testify, and tribute must also be paid to those who have so often shared the burden, the assistant secretaries and minutes secretaries.
- 1977-82 Brian Hall, Birmingham Polytechnic
- 1982-86 Paul Sturges, Loughborough University
- 1988-99 Patrick Baird, Birmingham Libraries
- 2000- Diana Dixon, Loughborough University
2.4 Treasurer
The role of treasurer is a difficult one to fill, and it is fortunate that the LSG has only had to seek postholders five times since 1977.
- 1977-81 Olive Herbert, Sandwell Libraries
- 1981-85 Bernard Nurse, Southwark Libraries
- 1985-92 Elizabeth Melrose, Lincolnshire, then North Yorkshire
- 1993-94 Paul Drew, College of Librarianship Wales
- 1994- Philip Thomas, Birmingham
2.5 Annual general meeting
This has been held in various parts of the country, usually as part of a branch meeting. It is normally a matter of formality and receives the annual report and accounts which are published in the Local Studies Librarian.
The accounts typically show about four fifths of the income deriving from capitation, perhaps one tenth from surpluses for conferences, five per cent from sales of publications and another five per cent from interest.
As far as expenditure is concerned the two issues of the Local Studies Librarian typically eat up more than half of the income, committee expenses about one fifth, grants to subgroups about ten percent and postage and stationery a similar proportion.
3. Membership
That the LSG filled a long-felt need can be seen by the rapid growth of membership. Soon after its inauguration it stood at 622 and by the end of 1978 it had risen to 847. By 1982 it stood at 1500, rising to 1700 by 1986, 1800 by 1992 and peaking at a little under 2000 in 1996. Since then it has fallen back somewhat and now stands at a little under 1700.
In addition to normal membership, from 1983 it was possible for personal affiliates who were not members of the LA to join and by 1985 there were 16 such members.
In addition the Group has conferred life membership to a small number of people, including Joe Fisher of Glasgow and Gyula Mandli and Erzsebet Gancs of Hungary.
4. Publications
The main publications of the LSG are its periodicals which have appeared throughout the lifetime of the Group and regularly reach every member automatically as part of their entitlement.
The first issue of the Newsletter was published in November 1977 as a duplicated A4 set of stapled sheets under the editorship of Brian Hall. It was a lively, informal yet informative publication but not a suitable vehicle for more substantial articles. The last issue appeared in Autumn 1981.
4.2 Local studies librarian
This was established in 1982 when the LSG had a large enough membership base to sustain a more formal publication. Its editor has always been Ian Jamieson who, as a library school lecturer has been able to retain a broad view of the local studies field and maintain a good flow of articles which reflect the wide range of issues that local studies librarians have to confront. It appears twice a year. There have been useful indexes to the articles, reviews, reports of meetings, notes and news and official notices compiled by Elizabeth Melrose and Alice Lock.
Other publications are mentioned under branches. A publications sub-committee was set up in 1981 with the aim of producing a series of pamphlets. It was reconvened in 1986 and a house history leaflet commissioned in 1987, but the proposed series of guides to sources has never materialised as a central LSG initiative. It was not until 1990 that a logo - that sine qua non of any organisation - was designed by Michael Dewe, a long-standing Committee member from the College of Librarianship, Wales, its concentric circles representing local, regional, national and international history (Local studies librarian vol.9 no.2), and this was used on the Group's first publicity leaflet which was prepared for the UmbrelLA conference in 1991.However the LSG has been associated with a number of publications by Committee members, notably Ian Jamieson's contributions on local studies in British librarianship and information work 1976-80, 1981-85 and 1986-90, Local studies librarianship by committee member Harold Nichols (1979), and the Manual of local studies librarianship, edited by Michael Dewe, which was published by Gower in two volumes in 1987 and 1991, containing contributions by a range of LSG members. A updated version under his editorship appeared in 2002 with the title Local studies collection management, published by Ashgate. There was a more direct LSG involvement in Local studies librarianship: a world bibliography by Diana Dixon, which LA Publishing issued in 2001. At times too the group's work has reached a wider audience, for example through the series of articles in the Library Association Record of December 1988 or Diana Winterbotham's article on local studies librarianship in the International encyclopaedia of librarianship.
5. Evidence to committees
This was among the first activities of the newly formed group. Already in 1978 evidence was presented to the Blake Committee to review local history (Local studies newsletter vol.1 no.2). This was published in 1979 by the Standing Conference for Local History (Local studies newslettervol. 2 no. 2) and among other things led to the relaunching of the organisation as the British Association for Local History in 1982. David Hayes, the Association's Field Officer visited many members of the Group when preparing his report in 1982-3.
In 1979 evidence was given to the Committee of Enquiry into the working of the Public Records Act (the Wilson Committee). In 1978 the LSG submitted a paper on charging for services for the green paper on financing public library services. In 1994 it made representations to the government's review of the public library service in England and Wales and its proposals for the contracting out of public services.
It also voiced its concern at the local government reorganisation proposals in the mid 1990s with the adverse effect that smaller authorities might bring to specialist services. In 2002 there was LSG representation on the CILIP group who responded to the consultation on revised conditions of access to electoral registers and there are many other examples of lobbying by members of the LSG committee.
6. Standards and gudelines
A sub-committee on this topic was convened under the leadership of Harold Nichols as early as 1977 (Local studies newsletter vol.1 no.1) but seems to have made little progress. It was re-convened by Diana Winterbotham in 1985 and draft standards were presented to the LSG Committee in October 1986. They were discussed at a meeting in Preston which was attended by 35 people and further comments were invited. The final draft was submitted to the LA in 1988, they were agreed in 1989 and published in 1990 as an A5 booklet. They were well received, but the second edition was fraught with difficulties.
In 1989 a survey on local studies provision had been commissioned by the LSG and the results, analysed by Diana Winterbotham, were published in 1990 (Local studies librarian vol.9 no.1). By 1996 it was clear that there had been so many changes since the draft of the first edition that a revised version was called for. A working party under the leadership of Don Martin was set up and the first draft, which was closely based on the first edition with provision for IT developments was submitted to the LA in 1998 and was referred back for rewriting as it was felt that it did not do justice to the innovative and dynamic work of local studies libraries and it also suffered from having been drawn up just before the appearance of The new library: the people's network (1997) and other significant reports. Such aspects as new technology, social inclusion and promotion were then highlighted in a section called "New horizons" and the draft resubmitted.
Ironically the fact that these had been isolated from the mainstream of the work was now the subject of criticism, the world of local studies librarianship had been moving so fast that some of these horizons were already no longer new. The LA was supportive and helpful and the document which was finally published in 2002 was all the better for the blood, sweat and tears, and a great credit to the devoted work of Don Martin.
7. Regional bibliographies
This was an early interest of the LSG and in 1978 the examples of Kent and the East Midlands were held up as examples of good practice (Local studies newsletter vol.1 no.2).
In 1983 Paul Sturges contributed an article on the subject to LSL which provoked a response from those involved in bibliographies for Essex and Kent (Local studies librarian vol.3 no.1). It was recognised that local collections contained much that was not represented in national libraries and the LSG encouraged participation in national bibliographical initiatives such as the Eighteenth-century Short Title Catalogue - now the English Short Title Catalogue (Local studies librarian vol.3 no.1).
The involvement of local studies librarians in regional bibliographical work meant that the LSG was represented on a British Library project to investigate the legal deposit of local publications in 1999.
8. Working parties
On occasion the LSG has set up its own working groups to deal with burning issues. In 1978 such a group was set up on ephemera (Local studies newsletter vol.2 no.1) following a meeting held in 1977 to receive the preliminary report of the Advisory Committee on Ephemera and Minor Publications.
In 1981 the LSG participated in a working party on archives policy for libraries, museums and record offices which resulted in a joint statement being issued.
More often however the LSG has been represented on a range of other bodies, for example the British Library Consultative Group on Newspapers on which it has served since 1983, first by Frank Manders and since 1991 by Elizabeth Melrose, who has also been Chair of the LINC Newsplan Committee and now its successor, the UK and Ireland Newsplan Committee.
Other bodies similarly supported are the Standing Conference on Archives and Museums (SCAM), the Black and Asian Studies Association, the British Book Trade Index Advisory Committee and BRICMICS, a body made up of map curators and acting as a lobby group for libraries to the Ordnance Survey.
9. Sub-groups
The establishment of branches or sub-groups was approved in 1978 and a number of regional or national branches were established during the 1980s.
Between them the branches have contributed greatly to the development of local studies staff across the country, organising day schools on a wide range of topics as well as visits to libraries and other relevant resource collections. The branch reports always form one of the most substantial sections of the LSG Committee meetings.
9.1 Scottish
Established in 1980, this was the first of the LSG branches and always one of the most active. For many years it has been a key player in the Scottish local history week, which has taken place regularly since 1988, and its newsletter Locscot which has appeared since 1982 often rivals the Local studies librarian in size.
9.2 North-west
This sub-group was established in 1981. Among its achievements has been the publication in 1987 of Sure coffers: sources for the history of religion in the North West. In 1995 it undertook a survey of spending cuts in the region. Its Newsletter has appeared since 2001.
9.3 London and Home Counties
Established in 1983, this group has maintained an active programme and has published its Newsletter since 1986.
9.4 Eastern
Established in 1985, this sub-group became dormant in the 1990s and reformed as the Midlands and Anglia in 1998. This has been more successful with 300 members in 2000.
9.5 Welsh
Established in 1988, this is the most recent branch and also publishes its own Newsletter.
10. Conferences
The LSG fulfils much of its function of educating and informing local studies staff through an active programme of involvement in conferences and meetings. This has been the case since its earliest days when it participated in the LA national conferences.
- In 1979 (September 11-14) the LA Study School and National Conference was held at Nottingham, a marathon event lasting four days, including LSG sessions on local collections in university libraries, oral history and conservation (Local studies newsletter vol.3 no.1).
- In 1981 (September 14-18) the LA National Conference and Exhibition at Cliftonville rivalled this with eight sessions on the overall conference theme of "Learning through life" and the papers were published in Library Assocation Record Oct 1981.
- 1991 UmbrelLA, 1, Leeds. The papers included a contribution from Assumpta Baillac from Spain, who spoke on local studies in Catalonia. The papers were published in Local studies librarian vol. 11 no.1.
- 1993 UmbrelLA, 2, Manchester. The theme for this conference was: "Local but not parochial" and included presentations with an international dimension, including a presentation from Erzsebet Gancs on local studies in Hungary. The papers appeared in Local studies librarian vol.13 no.1.
- 1995 UmbrelLA, 3, Manchester. The theme was local collections local pride. Papers were published in Local studies librarian vol.15 no.1
- 1997 UmbrelLA, 4, Manchester. The theme was the graphic image. Papers appeared in Local studies librarian vol.16 no.2. There was also a joint session with the Rare Books Group when Andrew Phillips spoke on "Preserving the nation's collection of rare local materials: towards a coalition" (Local studies librarian vol.17 no.1).
- 1999 UmbrelLA, 5, Manchester. The theme was aspects of popular culture with coverage ranging from skiffle to cricket and newspaper advertising. Papers were published in Local studies librarian vol.18 no.2 and vol.19 no.1.
- 2001 UmbrelLA, 6, Manchester. The theme for this conference was social inclusion.
11. Day and weekend schools
These have had a mixed success. As with the major conferences, local studies staff are often at the end of the line when it is a question of employers funding their training by underwriting their attendance. Examples of weekend schools with their themes include:
- 1978 September 12-13, Brighton: Publishing and local studies, education and local studies (Local studies newsletter vol.1 no.2)
- 1983 March 18-20 St Anne on Sea. New technology
- 1985 September 27-29 Wansfell College, Epping. Education and local studies
- 1986 September 19-21, Loughborough University. Modern techniques and media
The 1987 autumn meeting in Birmingham on industrial history was postponed and then cancelled and the meeting at Perth on 27-29 April 1990 on library publishing and new technology only attracted about 20 delegates. The day schools, which are normally organised by branches and, in regions like the South West where there is no branch, by other groups such as the ISG, have normally been more successful than the residential courses and again papers often appear in LSL, as for example in the case of the day school on marketing organised by the Midlands and Anglia Branch on 19 May 1999 (Local studies librarian vol.19 no.1).
12. Awards
The LSG seeks to encourage high standards in local studies librarianship and participates in several award schemes to recognise good practice.
12.1 Dorothy McCulla award
This was inaugurated in 1981 in memory of the founder of the LSG. Nominations are sought each year for a member of the Group who has made an outstanding contribution to local studies work. The panel look in particular for good overall service provision, innovation and promotional work and the winner receives a cash award and a hand-written certificate.
The winners have been:1981 Diana Winterbotham, Lancashire 1982 Not awarded 1983 Norma Armstrong 1984 Harold Nichols, Loughborough University 1985 Margaret Evans, York University 1986 George A.Carter, Warrington 1987 John H.Chandler, Wiltshire 1988 Michael Dewe, College of Librarianship, Wales 1989 David Moody 1990 Not awarded? 1991 Joe Fisher, Glasgow 1992 Chris Makepeace 1993 Mike Petty, Cambridgeshire 1994 Don Martin, Kirkintilloch 1995 Ken Hinshalwood, Renfrew 1996 Caroline Jacob, Merthyr Tydfil 1997 Ian Maxted, Devon 1998 Martin Hayes, West Sussex 1999 Eileen Hume, Knowsley 2000 Alice Lock, Tameside 2001 Michael Marshman, Wiltshire 2002 Marilyn Higson, Telford & Wrekin
12.2 Alan Ball award
This award encourages local history publication by public libraries and local authorities and is organised by the Library Services Trust. Bernard Nurse has been the LSG representative on the panel since this award was inaugurated in 1985. Two awards are normally made, one for the author and the other for book production.
12.3 Other awards
Members of the LSG have also won a series of other awards in which the Group is not a prime mover. A few examples must suffice: in 1990 the National Preservation Office and the Riley, Dunn and Wilson conservation competition was won by Thea Randall and Pauline Thompson. In the same year the LA/T.C.Farries public relations and publicity award won by Mike Petty of Cambridgeshire. In 2000 Public Library Entrepreneur of the Year Award was won by Mike Spick for his interactive CD entitled The Sheffield Time Machine.
There is also a crop of MBEs and similar honours won by LSG members such as Diana Winterbotham and Mike Petty and several members of the Group were awarded Centenary Medals in 1998.
13. Media
The LSG has long recognised the important role that the media can play in educating about local studies and has encouraged participation in a range of initiatives.
In 1981 following the Granada TV "Pictures of the past" project, the resulting photographs were distributed by LSG. Perhaps the first major series on local history was the BBC's "History on your doorstep" in 1982, and the LSG arranged for a speaker on the programme at the LA Conference in 1981 (Local studies librarian vol.3 no.2). During the 1986 Domesday 900 celebrations, which produced the innovative laserdisc, the LSG organised a number of linked meetings (Local studies librarian vol.5 no.1). Similar encouragement has been given to the BBC's History 2000 initiative and the work of the History Channel.
14. International links
The active programme of international links shows the importance of being local but not parochial and the exchange of ideas has certainly been a two-way traffic.
The programme began in the late 1980s when correspondence with Spain in 1989 resulted in Spanish participation in Umbrella in 1991. Also in 1989, following the Hampshire-Normandy accord, Alain Girard of Caen Municipal Library spoke to London & Home Counties Branch on local studies in France (Local studies librarian vol.12 no.2). In 1993 a formal international policy was drawn up (LSL 12:2) and the same year the Group supported Andrei Masevitch, a visiting librarian from St Petersburg and Erzsébet Gancs from Györ, Hungary, spoke at Umbrella in Manchester.
In fact Hungary has led the international programme of the Group, partly because of the great enthusiasm in that country. In 1994 Elizabeth Melrose spoke at the 26th conference of Hungarian Librarians in Körmend (Local studies librarian vol.13 no.2). The following year Ian Maxted spoke at the 2nd Hungarian LSG conference in Sopron (Local studies librarian vol.14 no.2) and in 1996 Penny Ward spoke at the 3rd Conference in Tata (Local studies librarian vol.15 no.2). Others who have benefited from Hungarian hospitality, which normally includes a study tour of libraries in Hungary, are Diana Dixon who spoke at 5th Conference at Kiskunhalas in 1998 (Local studies librarian vol.17 no.2) and Mick Scott who spoke at the 7th Conference at Sekesféhérvár in 2000 (Local studies librarian vol.19 no.2).
The success of these initiatives are largely due to the personal enthusiasm of Elizabeth Melrose, who maintains extensive contacts with several countries, including Romania (Local studies librarian vol.14 no.2) and Latvia. In 1996 she attended a Latvian conference of local studies librarians (Local studies librarian vol.15 no.2).
15. Website
This is one of the most recent initiatives of the LSG. During 2001 Linda Greenwood, the LSG representative from Northern Ireland worked with a designer to produce a website for the Group. The result, after much badgering to obtain the desired design, contains information on the current committee, events, publications and other matters. It will increasingly provide an important channel through which the work of the Group can reach members and the wider world.
16. In conclusion
Any organisation is made up of its members and it is a very positive reflection on the enthusiasm and activity across the country that a large part of the LSG's role has not only been to initiate but also to publicise, encourage and codify work being undertaken by others.
Over the past quarter century in fact the rest of the world has been progressively waking up to what local studies staff have been doing, too quietly perhaps, since well before the group was established. We have always known that we were acting in the role of the British Library for the area we served - now the concept of the distributed national collection has emerged, with local studies librarians key players.
We have always been aware of the importance of local and family history in motivating individuals of all ages and backgrounds to undertake personally relevant research - now the concept of life-long learning is with us. In our collections we have always sought, with varying degrees of success, to reflect all aspects of the community we serve - now the concepts of social inclusion and cultural diversity have been articulated.
From being an isolated and marginalised part of the library service, often seen as dusty and elitist, the LSG has helped local studies to emerge as one of the key elements in information provision and a leading library player in the heritage team of the museums, archives and libraries sector. A key function of the LSG in the coming years will be to see that local studies staff are supported in maintaining this central role.

Data gathering is an important part of our sustainability reporting. The personnel data and the data related to the social performance, are collected through Human Resource Management system (Flower). The system includes accurate data on Ensto's employees globally, covering all units and providing basic employment related information on all employees.
The training data is collected by our local human resources personnel. In 2017 we launched an eLearning platform (Ensto Academy) which will help us in the future to report more accurately of the employee trainings and educations.
Environmental data is compiled from manufacturing plants. No data of waste production was available from India and St. Petersburg. Also data of energy consumption in St. Petersburg could not be gathered. CO2 emissions of the electricity production were collected from the energy producers whenever the data was available. CO2 emissions of the electricity in Llers in Spain and Milan in Italy factories were taken from European Environment Agency. CO2 emissions of the electricity in Russia and India were taken from publication of International Energy Agency. CO2 emission factors for fuels were gathered from different sources, which were Finland´s Ministry of the Environment, Motiva and U.S Energy Information Administration.
Financial data is based on data collection through our enterprise resource planning system (IFS). The figures used in Ensto Group's consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the International Financial Reporting Standard.

The secret world of Australia's solar and energy contract prices
Giles Parkinson

Will the NEG alone really lead to low prices and high reliabilty?

Read Crossfade's recap of Deadmau5's New Year's Day Pool Party at the Fontainebleau Miami.
With our subtropical region's usual weeklong winter almost upon us, Deadmau5 and thousands of rabid club rats scurried and swarmed toward the Fontainebleau Miami Beach for a New Year's Day pool party on Monday.
The plan: One last Corona-soaked, bikini-clad rat riot before frigid temps (55°F) and blustery winds (NW at 15 mph) forced the Beach's warm-weather rodents into hibernation, fucking up the fun for the next seven days.

Brief Overview of Case
Celeste Beard Johnson is behind bars for a
crime that she did not commit. The
Killer's (Tracey Tarlton) confession, given by her well over two years after the shooting contradicted the little circumstantial evidence in multiple ways (the following list represents only a small sample):
1. Tarlton gave a time for a "pre-arranged walk-through of the home" when Celeste
had an ironclad alibi documented by business records (Celeste was at a
hair salon receiving a perm).
2. Tarlton said she let herself into the Beard Mansion through "hinged doors". All seven
sets of doors were on sliders.
3. Tarlton testified that the security gate at the entrance to the enclave had been left
unlocked for her access on the night of the shooting. In actuality, the immense gate
had been removed several months prior to the shooting because another house was
under construction. The gate was no where in site.
4. Tarlton said she climbed stairs inside the home to enter the master bedroom. No
stairs ever existed.
5. Tarlton said she made botulism with Celeste and that they covered Steven's head
with a plastic trash bag. There was no medical evidence consistent with these
6. Tarlton testified that Celeste laced Steven's food with Celeste and Steven's
prescription sleeping pills. The pharmacist testified there was no "overuse" of
sleeping pills. The bottles of sleeping pills taken into custody by the police actually
were hardly used.
Tarlton's confession confirms what the police
expected to hear—that Celeste was
somehow involved—which is why they most likely accepted it at face
value. This case illustrates perfectly that as human's we tend to see what we expect to see. Since people are subjected to an array of "cognitive biases" that affect
their evaluation of evidence, prosecutors and sworn officers are by no
means immune to this phenomenon.
The police investigators and
prosecutors in this case were more than likely trying their best to
do their jobs. But, they ended up seeking out circumstantial
evidence that confirmed their prior beliefs rather than the hard
evidence that challenged these
beliefs. They ended up interpreting the ambiguous evidence in ways that agreed with their preconceptions.
Because of this, the prosecutors case was
based on character assassination,
innuendo, anonymous letters, dubious forensic science evidence, and the
unreliable and not credible testimony of informants who had criminal
charges pending, that were later dropped in exchange for their made-up
This case proves that "facts" that didn't really prove anything were lumped together with suspicions and dubious theories.
This is how they prosecuted Celeste…

Moreover Job continued his parable and said.
2 As GOD liveth who hath taken away my Judgment; and the Almighty who hath vexed my soul.
3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of GOD is in my nostrils.
4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 GOD forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go, my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. JOB 27 : 1-6
I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
3 I will consume man and beast: I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked and I will cut off man from off the land , saith the LORD.
4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of Chemarims with the priests.
5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham.
6 And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor inquire for him.
7 Holy thy peace at the presence of the LORD GOD, for the day of the LORD is at hand; for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice , he hath bid his guest. ZEPHANIAH 1: 2-7

Still Counting Down!
We're a few days closer to the Holidays on the Homestead at the Antelope Valley Indian Museum and I've got a few more new items! There's a few more cross stitch pieces I want to complete for the event, but they're small and I still have time.
I want to stitch another Woman's Place, a counselor Troi mini, a Geordi LaForge and maybe a second Kitty Puke.
And I still need to get a couple small dishes to hold my little inexpensive items on my table. I'm hoping to find these at the dollar store though in a few days.
This event is hands down my favorite, and there's a reason I keep going back year after year. I really hope you'll come by and check it out too!

Glen Ellen Gourmet
This Sonoma town may not be large, but its culinary scene is booming.
Glen Ellen Star: Veggies are served in cast-iron pots.
Photo courtesy of Glen Ellen Star
The tiny village of Glen Ellen in northern Sonoma Valley boasted a population of only 784 in 2010. That number was surely lowered by the devastating Nuns Fire last year, which destroyed many homes nearby. Yet despite its small size, the town has become one of Wine Country's top dining destinations.
Otherwise best known for Jack London State Historic Park and Benziger Family Winery, Glen Ellen primarily serves locals from Sonoma to Santa Rosa, as there aren't many lodgings nearby. These small-town eateries provide an insider's taste of Wine Country for visitors.
Owned by Sondra Bernstein and John Toulze of The Girl and the Fig, The Fig Café will seem familiar to those well acquainted with the Sonoma restaurant. Like its sister restaurant, it features country French home-cooking made with local ingredients and exclusively serves Rhône wines. thefigcafe.com.
Chef Ari Weiswasser of Glen Ellen Star spent two years at The French Laundry before opening this establishment with a casual feel and distinctly California sensibility. The Star also puts a strong emphasis on sourcing ingredients from regional producers–including its own certified-organic two-acre farm–but sets itself apart with its wood-fired cooking. glenellenstar.com.
Another authentic local hangout is The Saloon at Jack London Lodge. Steeped in the history of the area, the saloon serves comfort food and burgers until 9 p.m. and Wine Country sips until 2 a.m. every day. jacklondonlodge.com.
Also at the Jack London Lodge is Umbria. Chef-owner Giulio Tempesta has relocated and reinvented his famed San Francisco original in Glen Ellen. It might be a new location, but Umbria is still serving up the best of classic Italian food: spaghetti and meatballs in chunky ragu meat sauce, pizza, and a breaded chicken breast atop grilled polenta and spinach. umbriaglenellen.com.
Visitors can also find new faces in Glen Ellen at Les Pascals Patisserie et Boulangerie. The Pascals in question are chef Pascal Merle and his wife, Pascale, who—along with baker Sean Perry—craft pastries and breads customers can eat on the go and serve breakfast and lunch in-house daily as well. The café is casual, but very French. lespascalspatisserie.com.
Mixing the old and the new, Glen Ellen Inn Martini Bar and Grill has reopened after renovation. It offers fresh California cuisine, without fuss. glenelleninn.com.
Any and all of these dining spots will offer visitors an excellent example of Glen Ellen's blossoming culinary scene. Call ahead to check for hours and reservations, but don't hesitate to venture out and discover these hidden gems.

Krishna West founder Hrdayananda Swami
PADA: RE: GBC's Ujjain Krishna West recoronation ceremony.
Hrdayananda swami is advertising that the GBC has unanimously voted to promote him as the GBC / Acharya of Brasil, despite recently he was suspended, censured and chastised for so many deviations by the GBC itself. And Hrdayananda recently went to Brasil to hold a big "Krishna West" festival and conference there, so that means the GBC is well aware that they are now going to make Krishna West an official part of the ISKCON GBC's process.
Meanwhile, anyone who wants to worship Srila Prabhupada as the acharya and not the Krishna West compromised acharyas program is banned, removed, censured, harassed, sued, exiled and etc. None of this is new however, the GBC has a policy that suspends, monitors, chastises, sometimes censures someone from their acharya's program, then reinstates that person later on making him the messiah once again. This all started when the GBC suspended Jayatirtha as their acharya for his illicit sex and drugs, then they reinstated him and made him a sannyasa and acharya again.
One devotee who told me about all this says that means the GBC is really opposing not only the mass of devotees who have rejected the GBC's ping pong swami, but the GBC have even ended up opposing their own conclusions that Krishna West is a deviation. So the GBC cannot even uphold their own standards and policies, they have to cave in and allow deviations. Why? Because without deviants and deviations, they would have almost no members to their program?
And that is apparently why, despite a few people objected to Gopal Krishna swami's and Radhanath's program of burying Kirtanananda in a samadhi in the holy dham, the rest of the GBC apparently forgot all about this deviation and brought these folks back into the fold as their hero and biggest preaching authority of ISKCON. Yep, if they bury sexual predators of minors in the holy dham, and orchestrators of the biggest criminal empire in ISKCON aka New Vrdnavana, they are huge saints and heros and are even granted messiah like status in this GBC's campus.
Devamrta was there to help things along. Srila Prabhupada's original books are often banned, but these books are welcomed?
So this is both bad news and good news. The bad news is, the GBC is choosing to become more corrupt as their path forward. The good news is, people even in their own camp are writing PADA to complain that this deviant is being recoronated as the messiah of Brasil, including a devotee from Brasil who told me this is "betraying everything Srila Prabhupada stands for." So that means, more people will side with our view, that these people are corrupt and not acharyas. ys pd
Yes as a matter of fact I can absorb sins like Jesus. Really! Hanuman Croatia's guru Bhakti Vikas swami is the sannyasa disciple of JPS. And that makes him bona fide, because they are the bucket boys for the Hrdayananda lover's club?
Falling Off the Cliff with Krishna West and the GBC Body
MOSCOW, RUSSIA — Did the GBC Body just throw HDG Srila Prabhupada's instructions and standards for Krsna Consciousness under the bus again?
Well, it's no surprise the GBC Body has again given their rubber stamp of approval to Hridayananda dasa Goswami (HDG) and his questionable, compromised Krishna West program... but they have. This is unbelievable and a road to ruin.
What the GBC should have done is say to Hridayananda, 'Preach as you wish, as we can't stop you, but we can't bless or approve such preaching officially under the ISKCON umbrella. ISKCON was set-up by Srila Prabhupada, it's his movement, his standards and instructions for his temples. Sorry, but we have to protect his ISKCON by enforcing his strict set of standards and practices for his temples! If you want to do this Krishna West we can't stop you, but we can't approve or accept it. So go in peace, without us.
Did the GBC body protect ISKCON by saying this to HDG? NO, NOT AT ALL!
The GBC can't correct HDG's Krishna West any more than they have been able to correct many other cans of worms … all the other compromises made in ISKCON: Hinduized ISKCON, New Age ISKCON, green card devotees (who come for the wrong reasons), Feminist Diksa Guru ISKCON... on and on it goes. The GBC condone so many deviations in Prabhupada's Movement.
Hridayananda has said, among other offensive things, "Harinams are a fairy tale," as he sits on the vyasasana in karmi clothes, makes jokes and plays ping pong with women. He's basically a blooped sannyasi. (A Ph.D one too.)
He says, incredibly, that he chants his japa silently 'in his head'. This is for real. He enjoys karmi music, and going to a movie, and why not … it's Krishna West. Chuck out the standards for sannyasis.
Hridayananda openly, disturbingly, says that Srila Prabhupada made many mistakes in his books … (Draupadi was not attempted to be disrobed, etc., etc...) He is preaching that ISKCON is Hindu and 'Indian culture' is not relevant anymore, and it 'turns off Westerners', and so forth… such nonsense talk. And he's so puffed up and arrogant about it!
Why the GBC have again let him off the hook is anybody's guess. To save him from his many offences? To keep him and his disciples in ISKCON? To save their face? To hide so many compromises? He has made so many offensives, so why give him the green light?
In the past, when Srila Prabhupada was on the planet, the GBC body at that time in the 70's did NOT approve of Siddhaswarupa Swami's new Ideas for preaching, because they knew damn well this was not Srila Prabhupada's instructions for preaching Krsna consciousness. At least Siddhaswarupa left ISKCON and started his own movement. That's honourable. Yet now the GBC allow this deviation known as Krishna West to be considered a thing approved by Srila Prabhupada.
Nowadays it seems the GBCs who are supposed to be in control of ISKCON have lost control of ISKCON entirely: from New York to England to Mayapur... New York's Temple arranged for sale illegally and in secret ... Bhaktivedanta Manor's endless Hindu Weddings 4$$$ Profit and compromised New Age style preaching for PR and Money making... All gradually being copied in other temples.
Look at the MESS. So much compromising has been done to ISKCON since Srila Prabhupada left the planet. ISKCON has been hijacked. Krishna West is just the latest deviation.
Srila Prabhupada's disciples are neglected, abandoned, and even banned. They can't even preach his exact words anymore to ISKCON devotees. We can't represent ourselves as Vedic Culture, with so many "Western" new standards, feminist guru movements and a lot of that incorporated into Krishna West etc. and then their people blocking us and contradicting Srila Prabhupada's preaching.
Srila Prabhupada's Movement, his ISKCON and his BBT are being destroyed from within by the very people (GBC / gurus / leaders) who were supposed to protect it. If that's not a crime against Humanity, I don't know what is!
Here are some of my editorial comments on Hridayananda's most recent letter to the GBC and devotees, excerpted below. ISKCON's in big trouble. You can laugh or cry... both are possible.
My Reply to Hridayananda dasa Goswami on His Letter of Sunday, April 17, 2016:
[HDG writes:]
Dear Devotees,
Jaya Prabhupada! I am happy to inform you that I have reached a fair agreement with the GBC which effectively restores peace between us. The GBC is accepting the peace proposal made in New Dvaraka in early January, between myself, then GBC chairman Praghosha Prabhu, and Vaisesika Prabhu.
PEACE PROPOSAL...? Is it a war? Are you at war with the GBC and ISKCON? Seems so. By your Krishna West program and comments about preaching in ISKCON, backbiting GBCs, and your obvious criticism of Srila Prabhupada's statements in his books you are offensive. Your distain for Vedic Culture and disrespect for it, as you lie to your disciples and followers with this letter, is a cop out. Are you even a real Maharaj anymore, or now just a fringe devotee masquerading as a Guru to hide the fact that you can't follow Krsna consciousness strictly anymore. So you've created Krishna West to cover this up, created a new ISKCON, thus misleading many devotees on Srila Prabhupada's intended, true and correct Krsna consciousness standards and practices for His ISKCON.
"For some time now, rumors have been circulating about some members of the GBC trying to restrict my diksa privileges. I am happy to tell you that the GBC has wisely decided to reject this idea."
YES, It's true, why are you calling it rumours? The fact is you are splitting ISKCON and embarrassing the Indians and Indian devotees by compromising illegally Srila Prabhupada's Movement and saying it's ok with Krishna West. It's the fault of the GBC body NOT to ban you from taking disciples, but then again, you were one of many Zonal Acaryas -- rubber-stamped gurus who contributed to this mess ISKCON is now in. Its' your failure that you are not honest enough to admit this fact to the worldwide devotee community.
"To reciprocate with them, I agreed at their request to come to the next full GBC meeting, to be held in October in Mumbai. There, I will meet with a balanced GBC subcommittee, hopefully to continue improving our relationship. Prabhupada often said that when devotees disagree, they should sit down together to work out their differences. Thus I accepted the GBC request that I come to Mumbai as reflecting Prabhupada's way of resolving problems between devotees."
The GBC Body should have suspended you as a Guru and leader and asked you to stay in India for a long time to preach and get purified, serving and associating with some nice humble Indian devotees so you can reform your warped mentality. Unfortunately that didn't happen.
"I want to take advantage of my trip to India to visit holy places associated with the Maha-bharata story."
Take full advantage of your trip to India by associating with and performing humble service to nice Indian devotees, and make an apology to them personally and publicly for berating their Vedic Culture. Remember every day you set foot in an ISKCON Temple just how unqualified you are.
It's useless, your Ph.D and materialistic home, and this material facility is clearly confusing you. Better you get back to your roots in Krishna Consciousness. Be humble, before you die. Become the strong preacher you once were, if you really want to save ISKCON.
"Hopefully, by Krishna's mercy we will now begin a time of peace among devotees, and powerful preaching, especially in the West. This will fulfill the self-description that Prabhupada wrote at the conclusion of his pranama mantra: pascatya-desa-tarine, "Savior of the Western lands."To all my disciples, friends, and supporters who have stayed with me, my eternal gratitude for your patience, loyalty, and intelligence
With best wishes,
Hridayananda dasa Goswami"
Dear Hridayananda Goswami,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to HDG Srila Prabhupada.
Maharaja, in a nutshell, I (we) don't hate you. We care about you and Prabhupada's ISKCON. We are not envious of you. Simply put, many godbrothers/sisters and other devotees are alarmed. We see you as being in maya, illusion of your own ideas, and the weak GBC can't correct you.
Live up to your title, Gosvami, and stop embarrassing ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada. Many devotees are concerned about your Krishna West's direction, your behavior and the watered down preaching you are becoming famous for. We see that you are off Srila Prabhupada's intended path, and have lost his direction for preaching in His ISKCON. You misrepresent Prabhupada's instructions, and you're proud about it.
We wish you well, but please do not further drag ISKCON down the Compromised Road to Ruin, be it Krishna West, Rock music, Classical music, Festival of Colors, illegal Hinduized wedding at ISKCON Centers, New Age Yoga, hospitals, woman gurus, karmi clothes, or any other concoction for ISKCON.
Please re-think it. Failure to do this will only mislead devotees, and they will not get the desired result: pure Krishna-bhakti, Vedic Culture as Srila Prabhupada gave you and us. Failure to implement Prabhupada's programs may block devotees from going Back Home, Back to Godhead.
The Choice is yours
your servant and servants,
Jaya Madhava das (ACBSP)
and all other devotees in agreement

Master wedge craftsmen Bob Vokey and Aaron Dill spend countless hours each week on the grinding wheel at PGA Tour events getting wedges built to the exact specifications for some of the best players in the world.
Until recently, requests to smooth out grinding lines or add custom heel or trailing edge relief, beyond what's currently offered on retail versions, wasn't a possibility unless you carried a Tour card.
But with the introduction of Vokey's new HandGround program, many of those limitations have been removed for the recreational player. Currently available with SM7 Raw — one of the most popular models on Tour — it's now possible to request tour-level customizations, including additional heel relief, Vokey's tour grind and a pre-worn leading edge.
"This takes me back to my roots — one player at a time, one wedge at a time, crafting the sole to the player's exact specifications," Vokey said.
Over the past year, Vokey has personally trained two grinders (Pedro Olivares-Cruz and Marino Diego) — Olivares-Cruz has spent 15 years in the tour department grinding wedges with Vokey — on performance and profile adjustments he's implemented from working with players for more than 20 years. Some of those adjustments have turned into special grinds or personal touches in the current wedge lineup.
According to Titleist, Vokey will oversee the new HandGround program located in a new workspace adjacent to the Titleist Tour Department, inside the company's headquarters in Carlsbad, Calif.
While the plan is to have Olivares-Cruz and Diego handle the bulk of the wedge workload coming through the shop, Vokey will still handle grind orders when time permits.
The program allows for a maximum of two adjustments per SM7 Raw wedge from a list of options. Many of the options offered come from the same list of performance adjustments tour players make on a regular basis — like matching a grind to turf conditions or a unique swing type.
Performance adjustments include a pre-worn leading edge to reduce effective bounce, which is beneficial for firm turf conditions or shallow swing types. Grind lines can be smoothed out to produce a better feel through the ground at impact, while heel and/or trailing edge relief reduce the possibility of the sole catching through the turf.
Profile adjustments (head shape) can be made as well and include a semi-square leading edge, thin top line and tour grind. Having a semi-square leading edge — the leading edge is straightened and made parallel to the first groove — can assist with alignment on pitch shots. A beveled topline is also offered to give the head a thinner appearance at address, particularly on the pitching and gap wedges. And for those considering Vokey's tour grind, the profile has a softer look with rounded edges that eliminate sharp lines or edges on the head.
"This grind is for the player who likes a pleasing look," Vokey said of the tour grind. "He doesn't like the toe jutting out, leading edge jutting out. He likes a little softer topline with no sharp edges."
Along with profile and performance adjustments, golfers also have the option to alter specific grinds. Vokey's F Grind can be turned into an S Grind for those who want additional greenside versatility. Trailing and heel relief is available on the K Grind to make it perform more like a J Grind; the grind angles can also be softened on the L Grind to make it an A Grind.
Vokey's HandGround starts at $195 per wedge — including BV Wings grip and 10-character stamping — with an additional $75 charge for HandGround services.

Texans nose tackle Vince Wilfork is preparing for the team's wild-card round game against the Raiders on Saturday, but he's also contemplating his future in the NFL. The 13th-year man revealed Tuesday that he could retire after the season.
"I've been thinking about it," Wilfork said (via Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com). "I'm not saying I will do it, and I'm not saying that I won't do it. But it's definitely not off the table."
The 35-year-old Wilfork just wrapped up a regular season in which he started in all 15 appearances and finished second among Texans defensive linemen in snaps (507). However, the 325-pounder's overall performance didn't draw rave reviews from Pro Football Focus, which ranked him 99th among 123 qualified interior defenders. Wilfork was a much more imposing presence as a member of the Patriots from 2004-14, earning five Pro Bowl nods and winning a pair of Super Bowls during that span.
Wilfork, who entered the league as a first-round pick from Miami, left New England in March 2015 to sign a two-year deal with the Texans. That contract will expire after the season, so Wilfork's career might not continue in Houston even if he does return in 2017. In the meantime, he'll spend the coming weeks trying to earn a third Super Bowl ring.

Monday I went back to Christine Cassano's studio. She had poured the concrete into our molds that we had prepared a few weeks back. (see inset below) The results are amazing. We cleaned up the clay that was used as a resist and did some transfers directly onto the concrete. I wanted to add a little more dirt (to the left in the piece above) and am waiting for the glue and dirt to bond and dry.
We built in recessed areas in both pieces, I think I want to add some figures that I am repurposing in the accompanying bottle collection. The process continues.
These pieces will be shown in April at the Yuma Fine Arts Association.

Tehran will not agree to even a 'symbolic' oil production cut within OPEC+ framework and demands an exception, a representative of the Iranian delegation told reporters on the sidelines of the OPEC meeting in Vienna.
"Iran does not agree on cuts. Symbolic or not symbolic, no matter. The only exception," TASS cited the delegate as saying.
He added that the OPEC meeting started at 13:00 Moscow time has not yet ended.
OPEC and Russia seek to obtain Iran's consent to at least symbolic oil production cut during talks, Bloomberg reported earlier, citing its sources. Iran is under US sanctions limiting its oil export from November of this year.
