In essence, your network holds the key to defending your organization. In order for any business network to function properly and efficiently, it needs to be protected from possibly harmful traffic. Information and applications that are retrieved and transmitted over a network without protection can fall victim to a variety of attacks, such as phishing, Trojan horses, spyware, self-propagating worms, and more.
Join us for an interactive discussion of enterprise cybersecurity, led by Bill Jones, Technical Instructor as he covers the following areas:
While we're all faced with an often overwhelming challenge to secure all of our systems and processes from deliberate harm, new technologies, network intelligence, and improved ways of thinking about cybersecurity itself can give us a fighting chance.
The role of a network administrator can vary significantly depending on an organization's size, location, and line of business; however, for most companies, the network administrator has historically only been noticed when the network goes down and employees can't access the applications they need to do their jobs.
Over the last few years, however, there has been a growing awareness that the network is central to the success of the organization. At the same time, the role of the network administrator is changing, and there are additional attributes they should possess in order to be successful going forward. Business objectives are changing, too, and there now is a greater link between network management and the organization's ability to achieve their objectives.
As with many technical roles, network administrators require a breadth of knowledge that vary depending on the employee level:
Network Management covers a wide area, and includes the two following key components:

The Seattle Seahawks' 2015 draft may have gotten mixed reviews, but the team still belongs among the top squads in the NFL, according to the pundits. The Seahawks and their Super Bowl XLIX-opponent New England Patriots ranked first and second in experts' post-draft NFL power rankings, with at least one Las Vegas sports book naming them Super Bowl favorites.
The Hawks topped ESPN's composite rankings after a draft that their draft expert Mel Kiper gave an A-minus.
"Are three straight Super Bowls possible while not making a first-round pick in each of those years?" ESPN asked. "We'll find out with the Seahawks this season."
Seattle was followed by a few familiar adversaries in the Patriots, the Green Bay Packers — whom the Hawks defeated in an epic NFC Championship game in January — and the Denver Broncos, Seattle's vanquished opponents in Super Bowl XLVIII. The Indianapolis Colts rounded out their top five.
The Patriots beat out the Seahawks in the rankings from Mike Tanier of Bleacher Report, with the two teams' draft classes making the difference. Tanier praised New England for meeting obvious needs with value picks while questioning Seattle for reaching for risky prospects.
"The Seahawks ranked ahead of the Patriots in these power rankings until the draft," he wrote. "The Patriots kept things straightforward while the Seahawks, lacking a first-round pick, gambled on troubled defender Frank Clark and waited until Day 3 to add some interior linemen."
Tanier, like his ESPN colleagues, had Green Bay at No. 3, but deviated there with the Dallas Cowboys fourth and the Broncos fifth.
CBS Sports' Pete Prisco agreed with Tanier's assessment with the exact same top five, though he was willing to give the Seahawks the benefit of the doubt based on their recent success.
"They still have some concerns on the offensive line, but it's hard to argue with anything John Schneider does," Prisco wrote. "He always seems to have guys ready to go."
Las Vegas sports book Bovada disagreed with the idea that the Patriots are set up to repeat, however, naming Seattle as the Super Bowl 50 favorite on Tuesday at 11-to-2 odds. They gave the Seahawks 3-to-1 odds to win the NFC and named them better than even money to take a division title at 2-to-5.
The Packers, not the Patriots follow the Hawks in Bovada's Super Bowl odds at 7-to-1, with New England (15-to-2) coming in third. The Colts (8-to-1) and Cowboys (10-to-1) round out their top five.

There is a frequent debate about the term 'Borderline Personality Disorder' (BPD).
The term 'borderline' was coined in 1937 when it was believed that patients with the disorder were on the borderline between psychosis and neurosis. This is no longer seen as necessarily the case, and definitely not the case for everyone with the diagnosis, and today people prefer to call BPD 'Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD).
I was actually asked which I prefer my diagnosis to be called, and I chose BPD. I know so many people hate this and choose EUPD, but being called 'emotionally unstable', while probably accurate, just does not sit comfortably with me. To me, I think EUPD is a much more stigmatising label. 'Emotionally unstable' makes you sound, well, like an overly emotional mess and like someone to be avoided. It also sounds much more like one symptom of the disorder, albeit a major one, rather than a collective term for a set of symptoms. Ignoring that issue, I would prefer the term 'Emotional Dysregulation Disorder' which is occasionally used, but I actually think that BPD is more of an attachment disorder than anything else. There is a disorder called 'Reactive Attachment Disorder' but this is usually only diagnosed in children. I wonder what they think happens to these children when they hit 18? I think they probably, if their problems continue past that age, get diagnosed with BPD (which is usually only diagnosed in over 18's).
That bothers me. Under 18 and I have an attachment disorder. Over 18 and I have a personality disorder, which is far more stigmatising.
Emotional instability, usually referred to as 'emotional dysregulation' is a huge part of BPD. But this instability goes much further than emotions; it can be instability in a person's sense of self/identity, and I think this can stem from being brought up in a very unstable environment. I think people would find out things about my childhood and call it pretty bad, and it was, sometimes. And sometimes it was not. Sometimes we were like any other family; happy and sad in "normal" ways. But things changed quickly and suddenly, usually without warning. I reckon growing up in that kind of environment, where you do not know what things are going to be like hour to hour, it makes you feel like nothing is safe, and that you do not know where you are going. One minute I had two solid, grounded parents and then in a blink of an eye one was back to abusing alcohol and the other was violent and would disappear off the face of the planet for a few days. There would be periods of stability in my Mum's mental health, and then in the blink of an eye she would be carted off back to the psychiatric ward.
And to be honest, it felt normal. It was our normal. And when you live your life always ready for things to get worse, not knowing when it is going to happen, you become incredibly hypervigilant, and you develop ways of coping with it. Sometimes these coping mechanisms are unhealthy and dangerous, but regardless of that, they serve some kind of purpose. With regards to my anorexia and self-harm, I have often felt like those two things were always going to be there for me, that they were not going to abandon me, and so I clung onto them, sometimes with all my might, and other times just loosely, in case I needed them – never able to fully let go.
Education was my one positive coping mechanism, as I have wrote about before. School and college were always going to be there on a Monday morning at 9am. The supportive tutors, lecturers and support workers were always going to be there too. It was a safe haven, and especially during my time at school, it was the one place I did not have to pretend. This is quite different to some people's experiences, where school is a place where they put on a mask, but for me school was where I could let myself feel my emotions and express them, and home was where I concealed everything. This was at times problematic as things would spill out uncontrollably. I would fall apart. But it was also needed at times. As I have become older I have gained a lot of control over this and while that seems like a good thing, it does mean that university tends to be a place I wear a mask to some extent – but I have a support worker within the university who I do not do this too. I guess it is more controlled now.
So, what is emotional dysregulation?
Emotional dysregulation (ED) is a term used in the mental health community to refer to an emotional response that is poorly modulated, and does not fall within the conventionally accepted range of emotive response. ED may be referred to as labile mood (marked fluctuation of mood) or mood swings.
This is something I have become increasingly aware of in myself over time. When I was in a child and adolescent psychiatric unit aged 15, I was diagnosed with cyclothymia, which is basically (and this is very simplified), a form of rapid cycling Bipolar disorder. This has never been mentioned again, and this is because while cyclothymia means that your moods change more frequently than found in typical Bipolar cases, my moods change much quicker than in cyclothymia, and approximately 50% of the time, in reaction to something happening around me.
It can be quite scary. Last Friday I ended up in A&E as I mentioned in my last post. I felt like I was at one of my worst points in a long time, and that was fair to say. Now, five days later, I am at one of my best points. It is a very unpredictable thing, that makes living difficult. I know that while I am feeling pretty good at this moment in time, in a few hours I could be laid in bed trying to sleep and having really negative, dangerous, thoughts and urges. While thoughts cannot hurt me, they can lead to me acting on them, which can hurt me. Learning to have these thoughts and feelings, these urges, and not act on them is one of the hardest parts of 'recovery'.
When I am in the mindset of wanting to act on those thoughts, practically none of me can see any reason not to. I mean it varies; sometimes I can. Sometimes I can be very rational and recognise that feelings will pass, but other times the feelings are so intense and I lose grip of what I would call my "true self", and there really is no talking me around when I am in that place.
I really want to end treatment and "get on with my life" as I keep saying. My support worker at university told me that while that would be very lovely for me to do, I need to think realistically about my ability to handle the responsibility of a full-time job right now. On my good days, I would be fantastic for a full-time job, but on my bad days, or during my rough patches, it would be a disaster. Right now, being a full-time student and working part-time is perfect for me. Work is absolutely perfect. I will admit I feel like I stumble my way through university. How I managed to get a degree, sometimes I really do not know. But it is manageable, and I am really lucky to have really accommodating lecturers. But in the working world, especially a full-time graduate scheme, this would be less likely to be the case which is why I am spending the next two days deciding whether it would be best to pull out of the graduate scheme assessment centre and focus on continuing with my treatment plan.
Does this mean someone with BPD can never have a full-time job? Of course not. I am sure thousands do. There are many extremely high-functioning people with BPD. BPD is often categorised into low functioning and high functioning (and I am pretty sure people can be a combination of the two). I think I am a combination of the two. Just the other day an A&E doctor told me he had never met someone with my diagnosis who was doing as well as I am, nor doing a masters. I reckon he would be surprised how many other people with BPD are doing high level qualifications, but that most of the people with BPD who find their ways into emergency departments are the ones who perhaps are not.
- Low Functioning Borderline – The "Low Functioning" borderline is what most people think of when they are first introduced to the condition. Low functioning BPDs are a living train wreck. They have intense difficulties taking care of their basic needs, are constantly experiencing mood swings. They also have an extremely hard time managing any sort of relationship with another human being. Low Functioning BPDs are often hospitalized more than other BPD types, for the very reason that they can't live productively without constant coaching and supervision. These patients are challenging for all but the most experienced psychiatrists. Unless otherwise treated, low functioning borderlines lead self destructive lives and attempt to manipulate those around them with desperate acts, including self harm (cutting, etc.).
(The comment regarding manipulation is not necessarily accurate. Often what appears like manipulation in BPD is just a person's lack of ability to get their needs met, or express themselves, in a normal way – someone without BPD might need some extra support, and turn to a close friend and ask for it, whereas someone with BPD may struggle to recognise what they need and therefore find other ways to manage their feelings i.e. self-harm. Contrary to believing self-harm is a manipulative and attention seeking behaviour, self-harm is usually a very private, secretive thing – and any way, needing attention is not a bad thing. We all need attention.)
- High Functioning Borderline – The High Functioning Borderline Personality shares many core aspects of the low functioning borderline personality, except for the fact that they can manage their lives, appear to be productive, and generally keep their relationships civil (even diplomatic in nature). High Functioning borderlines can appear to be normal, driven people one moment; then moody, inconsolable, and manipulative the next. Somehow, there is a mechanism within the minds of High Functioning Borderlines that allows them to lead somewhat "competent" lives, despite the fact that they are in a constant battle with BPD. High functioning BPDs are no better than low functioning: it's basically the same face wearing a different mask.
These two "categories" are a bit too black and white for my liking. I am high functioning in terms of work and academically with my current workload. If I had a full-time job this would probably reduce. I am very low functioning in terms of mood swings, social functioning and self-destructive tendencies.
The thing about emotional dysregulation is, you can learn ways to manage it – and there are a huge number of ways that may or may not work for you personally, which I will discuss in a following blog (because I am on 1800 words and quite frankly that is ridiculous!)

About Norman Jason
"Jay" Dunton, son of
George William and Eliza Annie Hartwell Dunton
Compiled from information collected by Lucy Dunton Brown, JoAnn Huff Brown, Norman James Dunton, Joy Peach, Jessie Hartwell Whitehead, Annie Dunton Jackson, Dr. H. Dale Jackson and Paul Jackson.
Norman Jason "Jay" Dunton was born January 18, 1876, in Kossuth County, Iowa. The story, told by Jay, goes that George and Annie Hartwell Dunton divorced soon after Susan, their daughter, was born. Jay was allowed to choose which parent with whom he would live. He asked to be placed with his grandparents, Norman and Sarah Gustin Hartwell. Annie, Jay and Susan are listed in the 1880 U.S. Census for Iowa, living in the Hartwell household. Apparently, Jay lived with his grandparents to adulthood.
The Hartwells left Iowa in 1889 for Crowley, Louisiana, where they homesteaded and farmed rice. They were there until 1893, when Norman, Sarah, the younger children and Jay moved to Billings, Missouri 1.
As an adult, Jay, a six-foot-four, two hundred-fifty-pounder with thick dark hair, handlebar mustache and a very solid chin, was known and is remembered for having a brilliant mind. He fought in Cuba during the Spanish-American War, came back to Billings, married Mary Elizabeth Sullivan in Billings (by the Rev. F.S. Yokley) on August 29, 1900 and bought a small farm near Orange, Missouri. Mary Elizabeth Sullivan was born February 12, 1880 near Billings, Missouri. Her parents were James C. and Cynthia Sullivan, both born in 1857 in Missouri 2.
Jay did well with the farm and, as he prospered, the children came along. But Mary contracted tuberculosis and died March 22, 1913. Their children were Sadie, Roy, Ethel, Annie Rachel and James.
Jay married Monzella "Zell" Viers Plybon, widow of John E. Plybon, on April 14, 1915, at her home in Halltown, Missouri. Zell was born April 8, 1888 in Lawrence County, Missouri, to Calvin and Naomi Johnson Viers. John Plybon was the son of Jacob and Ann Plybon, born in 1863 in Virginia. Zell had two children from her marriage to John: Walter ("Buck") and Mabel.
Annie Dunton Jackson, in later years, paid tribute to her stepmother: "She took in five motherless little children and loved us like we were her very own".
Jay and Zell had eight children: Norman, Homer, (twins) Howard Ray and Harold Lee, infant Ruth, infant twins Bessy and Jessy, and Lucy Gladys. With the prospect of home-grown farmhands, Jay went into debt and bought a large farm in Stone County.
By 1927, floods and a farming recession forced Jay into bankruptcy. Having lost the farm, he moved the family to Brown's Spring and he commuted to work in Springfield, where he roomed during the week.
While in Springfield, Jay began to experience symptoms of what would be diagnosed as lead poisoning -- contracted while eating Army rations from lead-lined cans during the war. By 1930, Jay's declining health forced him to leave his job. He, Zell, his, hers, and their kids returned to Lawrence County on a small pension, where he managed to farm a little and serve as a justice of the peace 3; but with Jay marginalized by his illness, they struggled to get by. Alonzo Fish "Lon" Dunton, Jay's uncle, and Leila Elizabeth Dunton, Jay's half-sister, contacted Jay in the early 1930s. They saw his plight and, in 1939, helped him purchase a small home near Chesapeake.
A holdout from the days of the western frontier, it was common to see him wearing a holstered pistol. Jay was a member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) but stopped attending when Mary died. Zell raised the children in the Baptist faith. Jay was a Mason, achieving thirty-third degree.
Jay, a perpetual pipe smoker, died of oral cancer on September 27, 1943. He was buried in the Orange Cumberland Presbyterian Cemetery, north of Aurora, Missouri, in uniform with full military honors. Monzella Viers Plybon Dunton died April 28, 1949 and is buried near Jay and Mary Sullivan Dunton.
Sarah E. Gustin Hartwell died in Billings in 1893. Norman remarried Kate Worthy Hurlburt and returned to Crowley, Louisiana in 1903, where he died in 1907.
James Sullivan was son of Thompson and Rachel Wiles Sullivan and a grandson of John and Catherine Sullivan, who came to Lawrence County, Missouri from Lincoln County, Tennessee in 1852 with their sons and families. Thompson and Rachel Sullivan are buried in the Smart Cemetery in Christian County, Missouri. Cynthia Sullivan died shortly after Mary was born. James and Cynthia Sullivan are buried in the Wise Hill Cemetery, in Christian County, Missouri. James second-married Mary J. Cantrell on October 5, 1890, in Christian County, Missouri.

Resisting Arrest.
At the trial of a criminal complaint charging the defendant with, inter alia, resisting arrest, the evidence was sufficient to permit a rational jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that a reasonable person in the defendant's place would have understood that police officers intended to arrest a third person, where, prior to the moment the defendant interceded, the officers had requested that the third person turn around and place his hands behind his back, at which point a reasonable person would not have felt free to walk away; where the officers intended to arrest the third person; and where, in the circumstances, the order by the police to the third person to turn around and place his hands behind his back could not be understood as simply a detention for a threshold inquiry. [33-37]
COMPLAINT received and sworn to in the Fall River Division of the District Court Department on December 31, 2007.
The case was tried before Robert A. Welsh, III, J.
Elena M. Rosnov for the defendant.
Tara L. Blackman, Assistant District Attorney, for the Commonwealth.
AGNES, J. The defendant, Kevin Soun, was convicted by a jury of assault and battery on a police officer in violation of G. L. c. 265, § 13D, and resisting arrest in violation of G. L. c. 268, § 32B. The defendant moved unsuccessfully for a required finding of not guilty on the charge of resisting arrest at the close of the Commonwealth's case. The principal issue on appeal is whether an order by the police to turn around and place one's hands behind one's back is sufficient to satisfy the prong of the resisting arrest statute that requires the Commonwealth to prove that a reasonable person understood that an arrest was being effected. We answer that question, "Yes."
Page 33
Factual background. [Note 1] Fall River police Officers Dennis Gagne and Athanasios Parousis were dispatched to a residential building on Danforth Street on a reported disturbance around 3:30 A.M. on December 29, 2007. Upon arrival, the officers heard screaming and shouting coming from the first-floor apartment. Officer Parousis knocked on the apartment door and identified himself and Gagne as police officers. A third police officer, John Rose, arrived around that time. Officer Parousis's knocking initially received no response but then received a belligerent verbal outburst. When Officer Parousis continued knocking, a male, later identified as Brian Soun, "ripped open" the door. Brian [Note 2] was moving aggressively and swore at the officers. He did not step back to let the officers into the apartment upon the officers' request. Eventually Officer Parousis moved toward Brian, who then backed up into the living room.
Suddenly, the defendant, who is Brian's father, emerged with a group of people from another room in the apartment. At about the same time, Officer Parousis told Brian to turn around and put his hands behind his back. [Note 3] It was Parousis's intent to handcuff Brian, due to his aggressive behavior. [Note 4] The defendant placed himself between the police officers and Brian, and stated repeatedly, "No, that's my son." The defendant would not step aside when Officers Gagne and Parousis asked him to do so. When Officer Gagne tried to help Officer Parousis handcuff Brian, the defendant pushed Officer Gagne on the chest with enough force to knock him back "a step and a half." In response, Officer Gagne spun the defendant around, pushed him onto a futon, and handcuffed him. The defendant then was taken from the apartment. Afterwards, Officer Parousis arrested Brian.
Discussion. We apply the familiar Latimore test. See Commonwealth v. Latimore, 378 Mass. 671 , 677 (1979).
"A defendant resists arrest if 'he knowingly prevents or
Page 34
attempts to prevent a police officer, acting under color of his official authority, from effecting an arrest of the actor or another, by (1) using or threatening to use physical force or violence against the police officer or another; or (2) using any other means which creates a substantial risk of causing bodily injury to such police officer or another.' " Commonwealth v. Tavernier, 76 Mass. App. Ct. 351 , 356 (2010), quoting from Commonwealth v. Grant, 71 Mass. App. Ct. 205 , 208 (2008). See G. L. c. 268, § 32B(a). "[T]he crime [of resisting arrest] is committed, if at all, at the time of the 'effecting' of an arrest." Commonwealth v. Grandison, 433 Mass. 135 , 145 (2001), quoting from G. L. c. 268, § 32B. An arrest is effected when there is "[1] 'an actual or constructive seizure or detention of the person, [2] performed with the intention to effect an arrest and [3] so understood by the person detained' " (Grandison elements). Ibid., quoting from Commonwealth v. Cook, 419 Mass. 192 , 198 (2004). The parties agree that the statute requires that when a person is accused of resisting the arrest of another, the person accused must understand that the police intend to arrest the other individual.
1. Effecting an arrest is a process. The defendant contends that a rational jury could not find him guilty of resisting arrest because Brian was not arrested until some time after the defendant was arrested and thus his actions of interceding between the officers and Brian were not at the time the police were effecting an arrest. [Note 5] This contention is based on a misunderstanding of the law.
The event of effecting an arrest does not begin and end at the moment an individual is placed in handcuffs and told that he is under arrest. Effecting an arrest "is a process that begins when the . . . three [Grandison] criteria are present and ends when the person is fully detained by his submission to official force or placed in a secure location from which he can neither escape nor harm the police officer or others nearby." Commonwealth v. Knight, 75 Mass. App. Ct. 735 , 738-739 (2009). [Note 6] Thus, the fact
Page 35
that the police did not finish effecting the arrest of Brian until a later time does not mean they had not started effecting that arrest when the defendant interceded.
2. Application of Grandison elements. We examine whether the defendant's conduct prior to any explicit statement that Brian was under arrest or the handcuffing of Brian was sufficient for a rational jury to convict the defendant of resisting arrest.
a. Proof of seizure. A rational jury could find that Brian had been seized prior to the moment the defendant interceded. A seizure, for the purposes of resisting arrest, occurs when a reasonable person, "in view of all the circumstances surrounding the incident, . . . would have believed that he was not free to leave." Commonwealth v. Powell, 459 Mass. 572 , 577 (2011), quoting from Commonwealth v. Franklin, 456 Mass. 818 , 820 (2010). At the time the defendant stepped between the officers and Brian, Officer Parousis already had requested that Brian turn around and place his hands behind his back. [Note 7] Lesser actions by police officers have been considered seizure. See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Narcisse, 457 Mass. 1 , 6 (2010) (defendant seized when officers told him they intended to pat frisk him). A reasonable person would not have felt free to walk away when
Page 36
Officer Parousis ordered him to turn around and place his hands behind his back.
b. Proof of intent to effect an arrest. In view of the direct testimony by Officer Gagne of the officers' intent to arrest Brian, no serious argument can be made that the second Grandison element was not met.
c. Understanding of person accused. The test to determine whether a person understood that he was observing someone being arrested is an objective one, i.e., "what a reasonable man, innocent of any crime, would have thought had he been in the defendant's shoes." Commonwealth v. Montoya, 73 Mass. App. Ct. 125 , 127 (2008), S.C., 457 Mass. 102 (2010), quoting from Massachusetts Gen. Hosp. v. Revere, 385 Mass. 772 , 778 (1982), rev'd on other grounds, 463 U.S. 239 (1983).
The "police do not need to use the word 'arrest' in order for there to be an arrest." Commonwealth v. Quintos Q., 457 Mass. 107 , 111 (2010). Other phrases and situations commonly associated with arrest can create the required level of understanding. See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Grant, 71 Mass. App. Ct. at 210 (while flight from investigative encounter not sufficient to support charge of resisting arrest, there was sufficient understanding of intent to arrest where police drew gun and ordered defendant to "get to the ground" after chasing him).
We have not previously held that an order to turn around and place hands behind one's back was sufficient to allow an ordinary person to understand that an arrest was being effected. Cf. Commonwealth v. Smith, 55 Mass. App. Ct. 569 , 574-575 (2002) (statement by police officer to defendant standing with group in alleyway to stop, even when repeated, was only attempt to seize or to detain person for threshold inquiry). However, viewed objectively, such an order is commonly associated with the initial phase of an arrest, as is shown by the facts of many reported cases. See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Grandison, 433 Mass. at 143-144; [Note 8] Commonwealth v. Collins, 11 Mass. App. Ct. 126 , 130 (1981); Commonwealth v. Medina, 43 Mass. App. Ct. 534 ,
Page 37
535 (1997); Commonwealth v. Carnell, 53 Mass. App. Ct. 356 , 357 (2001); Commonwealth v. Maylott, 65 Mass. App. Ct. 466 , 467 (2006). But see Commonwealth v. Knight, 75 Mass. App. Ct. at 736 (order to defendant "to turn around and place his hands behind his back so [the officer] could pat frisk him for weapons"). This order corresponds with the fact that officers often cuff a defendant's hands behind his back when they arrest him, as also shown by the facts of many reported cases. See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Estremera, 383 Mass. 382 , 384 (1981); Commonwealth v. Dunn, 407 Mass. 798 , 802 (1990); Commonwealth v. Clermy, 421 Mass. 325 , 327 (1995); Commonwealth v. Rider, 8 Mass. App. Ct. 775 , 776 (1979); Commonwealth v. Downs, 53 Mass. App. Ct. 195 , 196 (2001).
Here, in light of the defendant's belligerence, the close quarters of the apartment, and the number of people in proximity to the officers, a police command to turn around and put one's hands behind one's back reasonably could not be understood as simply a detention for a threshold inquiry. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth, a rational trier of fact could find beyond a reasonable doubt that a reasonable person in the defendant's place would understand that the police intended to arrest Brian when the police ordered him to turn around and place his hands behind his back after a tense situation in which Brian yelled at them, made threatening gestures at them, and ignored several police commands.
Judgment affirmed.
[Note 1] Because this is an appeal of the denial of a motion for a required finding, the facts are stated in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth. See Commonwealth v. Latimore, 378 Mass. 671 , 677 (1979).
[Note 2] We refer to Brian by his first name to avoid confusion.
[Note 3] Officer Gagne testified to this at trial. Officer Parousis was not questioned on the point.
[Note 4] Officer Gagne testified that Officer Parousis "was about to put the handcuffs on [Brian] and place him under arrest."
[Note 5] The defendant does not contest that, under G. L. c. 268, § 32B(a), he can be convicted of resisting the arrest of another, in this case, Brian.
[Note 6] We have stated previously that the process of effecting an arrest does not end at the point someone is handcuffed or told they are under arrest. Commonwealth v. Katykhin, 59 Mass. App. Ct. 261 , 262 (2003) ("Contrary to the defendant's claim, his arrest was not complete at the point that he was handcuffed"). Likewise, conduct preceding the immediate moment in which someone is being handcuffed and explicitly being told he is under arrest can constitute resisting arrest because the police already have begun effecting an arrest. See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Powell, 459 Mass. 572 , 580-581 (2011) (police were effecting arrest where they pursued defendant, defendant pulled his weapon, and police pulled their weapons, pointed them at defendant, and told defendant to "[d]rop it"); Commonwealth v. Montoya, 73 Mass. App. Ct. 125 , 128 (2008), S.C., 457 Mass. 102 (2010) (police effecting arrest when officers confronted defendant after chase with weapons drawn and ordered him to raise his arms and step away from set of stairs); Commonwealth v. Knight, supra at 739 (defendant's resistance to being handcuffed prevented and preceded conclusion of police effecting his arrest). Contrast Commonwealth v. Grant, 71 Mass. App. Ct. at 210 (police were effecting arrest when they ordered defendant to "get on the ground" after police pursuit in car and on foot).
[Note 7] The fact that Officer Parousis himself did not testify that he requested Brian to turn around and place his hands behind his back is immaterial. See Commonwealth v. Semedo, 456 Mass. 1 , 8 (2010) (in making sufficiency of evidence determination, "we do not weigh the supporting evidence against conflicting evidence, nor do we consider the credibility of the witnesses").
[Note 8] While Grandison concerned resisting arrest, there did not appear to be any dispute that the police already had begun effecting an arrest at the time they told the defendant to place his hands behind his back. It thus does not dispose of the issue presented in this case.

The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens on Saturday will open a new education and visitor center, restaurant and more than 6 acres of newly landscaped gardens.
The complex also provides a new entrance to the landmark San Marino site that will take visitors through to the historic Desert Garden, and it couldn't come at a better time.
Many cactus and succulents are in bloom right now. It's a garden in which some of the golden barrel cactus are 100 years old.
The Steven S. Koblik Education and Visitor Center overlooks the Desert Garden. It's a $68 million project that began in 2013 and includes classrooms, meeting spaces and underground storage space for collections too.
I took a walk-through Saturday night during a members' preview. Here are some of the highlights:
--A 36-foot-high glass dome atop a garden court that leads to Rothenberg Hall. Inside are six tapestries created by Alexander Calder in 1975 for the U.S. bicentennial and a 400-seat auditorium for lectures, movies and staged events.
--A long line of olive trees frame a garden landscaped with California native and other plants. The Brody California Garden, as it's named, leads down slope to a Celebration Garden with a little river-like flow in the center. It's this path visitors will follow directly into the upper Desert Garden.
--A new restaurant with a wrap-around terrace that provides wide views of the garden and grounds below. It seats 300 people, inside and outside, and will serve pizzas, salads, soups as well as specials each day.
--A visitor center that tells the story of the home and gardens that belonged to railroad magnate and rare book collector Henry Huntington. There's a map of the original garden design for the property as well as pictures that show the gardens in 1915 and present day.
And there's a model of a Red Car, the popular trolleys that were part of Huntington's Pacific Electric Railway in Southern California.
The Huntington's new store, coffee shop and admission offices leading to the new complex opened in January.
Tickets cost $23 weekdays and $25 weekends for adults; $19 and $21 respectively for students 12 to 18 years old; and $10 for children 4 to 11 years old. The Huntington is closed Tuesdays.

This week we continue with Private Robert Templeton's touching letters home to his mother in the last weeks before he was killed.
"Dear Mother
Jack Wallace has gone to hospital today. He got into trouble for not reporting sick sooner. He is very bad with boils on his legs. You have no idea what some of the boys are like when their shin breaks out. I was very sorry for him. He was in a bad state. His clothes were sticking to his shin. However, he is all right now and sure of a good rest and may miss a spell in the line.
Thanks for the shirt and socks. They were very welcome as they prevent one from being foot sore like some of them. It would give you a fright to see their feet.
We are to be here for a bit and then move up for some other push I expect, that is what is being talked about here anyway. This is Sunday so we have been to church and had a good sermon from the divisional minister as our own is on leave. It will be a while before I get leave, however, it will wear in some way.
Tell John (his brother) to write if he can find time. I feel for him so busy at home. All the same, he is better off than me, he has no lice to bother him and always a bed to go to. I am glad he is not to come here.
I was sleeping one night in the trenches and I seemed to see him and father coming up the trench. I got an awful fright until I realised it was only a dream. But I would not like to meet any of you here, at least in the trenches anyway. The man who does not look after himself does not live long."
"Dear Mother
We have been warned to put no information about any movements of the battalion, whether it was in the line or not. It is a rule I have always observed as the penalty for doing so is very heavy and does you no good, so I will confine myself to only what concerns myself. I am in good health so far and hope to continue as it is not a very healthy country at present. We are having very dry weather this last few days it is better than the rain for us.
You are not to worry about me as I am all right and will write as often as I can."
"Dear Mother
I am writing you a few lines today when I have time. We were on a route march today and it was very hot but it was not a long one, and a good job, as most of the boys have had plenty of it. It is different walking with nothing to carry as with a pack on. I had a letter from Uncle John a day or two ago and he seemed to be getting on all right. He was saying you had a good crop of weeds this year. But it is impossible for you to manage to get them under control when you have so few hands, and so much to do.
"Well, the weather is much improved now and I hope it will continue for a good while, as it will give you a chance to get finished up early. I had a letter from Jack Wallace and he was saying he was out of hospital and down at the base and expects to be joining us in a few days. He seems to be glad to get back to us again. He has had a good rest anyway. I have not had any letters for a few days but I am looking for some today, and hope John has time to write me a line soon.
We have had no word of a shift from here yet but will hardly be long now.
With love to all.
Your affectionate son Bob."

Learning the Ropes
Plebes Learn to Sail in Annapolis' Waterways
Pulling away from the pier, they backed up, turning around slowly to follow the string of boats heading for the bay in Annapolis, Maryland. Awaiting the go ahead from their instructor on what to do next, the plebes in boat No. 16 waited in silence for their next direction, their sun-tanned skin contrasting with their stark, white T's and blue Naval Academy shorts.
Since it seemed they would only speak when spoken to, the instructor told them all to relax and enjoy the sail.
"Now, when we get out of the bay, though, I'm going to need someone to tack. Who remembers how to do that?" he said, referring to the process of turning the boat's bow to the wind and shifting the sails.
Naturally, the plebes had spent time in the classroom being schooled on every aspect of the keelboat and how to sail it, but, now, knowing how to tack was all of a sudden getting muddled with how to "jibe" (or how to turn the stern through the wind), the points of sail and, well, what felt like a thousand other different terms in the vernacular of sailing.
Knowing how to sail and being able to demonstrate this knowledge out in the water is a key part of turning a plebe into a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy, and has been for many generations a tradition passed down from the alumni to the plebes.
Every summer, recently commissioned alumni teach the newest class of students how to sail, showing them how to maneuver a boat and turn it into the wind from two different directions, as well as the rules of the road. They give plebes the ability and the knowledge of how to work as a team and take charge and lead - attributes many will take with them to the fleet.
It's a huge benefit for the plebes to have new commissioned officers come back, said Lt. Dan Dematteo, a basic sail training operations instructor. "When they see their end goal of being an ensign firsthand in a small environment, they see themselves as a leader like them."
Out in the Chesapeake Bay, boats can be seen from every angle, near and far. With sailboats moving in every direction, it's important to know what to do to quickly to move the boat, and with one ensign and three or four plebes setting sail in each boat, the training groups are small. The hands are all in and depended on.
"It's more critical, the goal they're accomplishing on a sailboat, pulling lines, moving the tiller," said Dematteo. "The effects and consequences of each action taken is more critical. Pushing through and having the courage, the ability to overcome [their] fears is big. [The training] builds you from the start as a Sailor."

The sale should have taken place late last year but the Ministry of Land and Resources has reportedly put off the auction for the third round of shale gas mining rights until the second quarter. Media reports say the delay is down to a lack of interest from industry — the major companies all opted to stay on the sidelines.
News of the postponement rattled the share prices of some Hong Kong-listed shale gas-related counters, including rig-maker Honghua (00196.HK) and equipment provider Hilong (01623.HK).
The industry's stalled exploration and development in China is in sharp contrast to progress in the United States. On the back of its technical expertise ranging from horizontal drilling to hydraulic fracturing, the US has gained a concrete footing on the new energy frontier, tipped as one of the most viable unconventional fuel fields.
The US is expected to be in the same league as Saudi Arabia and Russia in terms of oil and gas production in less than seven years, the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicted in a report. The American shale gas bonanza not only has enabled the country to cut its reliance on imported energy, it is also helping the US manufacturing sector bounce back on lower energy costs.
Beijing is counting on the immense reserves of the resource clustered in China's southwest and northwest to boost its plans for a similar boom. On the surface, all the figures seem encouraging — Barclays notes that China could have up to 25 trillion cubic meters of technologically recoverable shale gas, representing 19 percent of the planet's entire reserves and double the US' total. The IEA makes similar estimates.
But the results of previous auctions and progress on the ground have only been disappointing.
For a start, there are some physical impediments — complex geology, water scarcity as well as inadequate infrastructure — standing in the way. It could take Chinese firms years to dig around those challenges but there are also some inbuilt, institutional challenges that have to be overcome.
As the Financial Times reported, the US shale gas industry has evolved into a vibrant ecosystem made up of numerous small and medium-sized energy companies, and thousands of oilfield service providers that also play an essential complementary role. But the landscape in China is drastically different, with state-owned behemoths PetroChina (00857.HK) and Sinopec (00386.HK) monopolizing the energy sector and fending off newcomers trying to get into the unconventional game.
Analysts accuse PetroChina and Sinopec of indiscriminately applying routine technology rather than a tailor-made approach to shale gas exploration and development. Little wonder then that output from wells can sometimes fall quickly after trials. The critics also claim that the two giants are reluctant to take time to drill new wells to sustain production when they can sit back and watch the easy money flow in from their traditional oil and gas business.
"If the big US oil groups, ExxonMobil and Chevron, had held 90 percent of US shale acreage, the pace of development would not have been nearly so fast," Rhodium Group energy consultant Trevor Houser told the Financial Times.
Beijing has tried to give more impetus to private investors but new entrants should be wary about the difficulties. After they get the go-ahead, they run the risk of problems with upstream entities like exploration service companies, most of which come under the PetroChina or Sinopec umbrella and don't have any incentive to lend a helping hand.
Ambitious targets have been set — Beijing aims to produce 6.5 billion cubic meters of shale gas annually by 2015 and up to 100 billion cubic meters by 2020 from the paltry 200 million cubic meters at present. Despite Beijing's fresh push to further lower the threshold for private and foreign bidders, there's still little reason for optimism about shale gas prospects in the country, at least in the near future.

Dot CA Domains
If you would like to reach the Canadian market, then you ought to have a Dot CA domain name for your website since the local country-specific top-level domain extension is the most popular in the country, more famous even than .COM and Dot NET. It is a lot more probable that somebody will come across and possibly purchase goods or services from a Dot CA website than from a website with any other domain extension. Because of the registration provisions pertaining to this domain extension, Canadians are informed that a Dot CA site is a local one and that they will be able to pay in Canadian currency and as a result support a fellow citizen or a local business establishment.

You will have full control over your WHOIS information, your domain's DNS records and so on, even though there are some conditions. A dot CA domain can be reserved only by Canadian residents, citizens and locally based enterprises. Also, the Registrant (owner) details cannot be edited once a domain is registered.
The criteria for booking a dot CA domain ensure that all domains and websites are operated by local persons and companies. Such a domain will boost the status of your site in Canada and will be placed higher in local search engine results and with our company, your .CA domain name is merely a few clicks away.

The saga continues; NCsoft launches newest chapter for original Lineage game
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 11, 2006âNCsoft® North America today announced the release of Episode IV: âHistory and Memoryâ¢,â the latest content expansion for North American subscribers to the original Lineage® massively multiplayer online (MMO) PC game. This expansion provides subscribers with 230 megabytes of new geographical locations to explore, an enhanced new player experience, plus additional mage and elven magic spells. Episode IV is free to all current Lineage subscribers.
One of the key new areas added in Episode IV is Pirate Island. Accessed from a hidden dock, players will explore a tropical island in search of treasure and adventure, battling skeletal pirates, giant parrots, and trying to find and tame a rare raccoon with magical powers. Players may also hunt beneath the waves of the formidable Abyss Lake, a dangerous yet profitable new zone that promises a higher difficulty level of play over existing underwater zones. Both Pirate Island and Abyss Lake lead to another new zone, the Elemental Ruins, where players will face various ghost-like monsters and other bizarre creatures.
In addition to new locations, monsters, items and spells, Episode IV brings significant enhancements to the new player experience. New players now begin with a Talking Scroll in their inventory. Clicking it will give players key information about the game that was previously more difficult to come by. Those who turn this special beginnerâs scroll to the correct non-player character in a new player zone will receive enough armor, weaponry and money to jump directly into combat instead of training to level 5 before adventuring outside of town.
Lineage is currently available via free download at http://www.lineage.com. Lineage comes with a 7-day free trial period. After that, a subscription of US$15 per month is required to continue playing. Customers can save money by purchasing four months in a single transaction at a rate of US$11.25 per month.

December 11, 15:50 ~ 16:30 - Room A21
Distribution of traces of genus 3 curves
Christophe Ritzenthaler
University Rennes 1, France - firstname.lastname@example.com
We present numerical experiments to visualize the asymmetry in the distribution of traces of Frobenius of genus $3$ curves over finite fields. These observations are linked to the so-called Serre obstruction for non hyperelliptic curves. We also give a heuristic explaination for the phenomena we observe.
Joint work with Reynald Lercier (university Rennes 1), Florent Rovetta (university Aix-Marseille), Jeroen Sijsling (Dartmouth college) and Ben Smith (Polytechnique Paris).

T'was John Montagu who ordered beef within two breaded baps some 250 years ago that triggered off a global love affair. He was the fourth Earl of Sandwich and his hungry belly must be praised for creating one of the best convenience foods out there. Let's face it – we all love a good sandwich. Even the worst chef in the world can just about sling together a half decent one, and the myriad of fillings one can go for is impossibly vast. Almost as incomprehensible as the endless fathoms of space!
The first record of the sandwich emerged in 1762 in Kent. Kent is in England and is the home of upper class snobs who converse with mannerisms such as; "I say!", "Golly gosh!", "Do not be bloody ridiculous!", and, "Well… I… NEVER!" We should imagine that all of these phrases were used when Mr. Montagu picked up the sandwich and stuffed it into his hungry face, as using your hands to eat back then was considered "daring". Outstanding, sir!
Naturally such easy access to food has lead to chronic obesity problems, and sandwiches aren't quite as healthy these days as you might expect. Salt and fat content tends to be very high indeed. Best advice? Make your bread and sandwiches! Don't have the know how or the time? Then continue to clog your arteries! Life without sandwiches would be quite tough to consider. However, some things about sandwiches are just wrong. Behold!
1. Removing the crusts – Awww…. diddumssss! You don't wike duh naughty wittle cwusts? Ahhhhh! How sweet! Er, no. Grow up you petty little sods – if you remove the crust from your bread you really are a total moron.
2. White Bread – White loafs are horrible and bad for you. Really disgusting. Wholemeal, people, please remember that it's actually quite good for you and much tastier than processed white bread.
3. Butter – No need for this. Low fat margarine or houmous.
4. Mayonnaise – No.
5. Marmite – Not a good idea.
6. Mould – Mouldy bread, sir? Away with you!

I still remember the days of growing up and pretending to be a southern belle, having tea parties out in the grass with finger sandwiches and pastries. It was all about big hats, shiny lipstick, and frilly dresses, but, my, how all that has changed! Since then, I have updated my tastes and style and recreated a grown up version of a Southern Sweet Tea party with fancy fabrics – all without sewing!
But first I must come clean…
I have a confession to make.This Kentucky girl didn't start saying y'all until college. I grew up in Florence, KY, just south of Cincinnati. Even though my hometown is known for it's FLORENCE Y'ALL water tower right off the interstate, surprisingly no one there really says y'all, so I never adopted that phrase.
Shocker, I know!
You see, my Daddy is from the city and my Momma is a farm girl. Like a no-plumbing-until-she-was-a-teenager kind of farm girl! And I was raised just south of the big city, so 'Y'all' was not what the too-cool-for-school kids said.
Then I left for college in Tennessee and I was surrounded by that drawl and within the first week, 'Y'all' was rolling off my tongue as if it were a part of my vernacular all along ~ just like those days of the playtime tea parties. I've kept it ever since.
When I received my happy mail from Karianne at Thistlewood Farms, that Sweet Tea fabric took me on a time warp back to those days of being a little girl, spouting out Southern colloquialisms with my pinky up, but now I'm a big girl, and sitting outside, swatting mosquitoes and sweating from all the humidity isn't at the top of my list.
I know the saying is, "Southern Girls don't sweat, they Glisten," but my body didn't get the memo. So, I wanted to recreate that dreamy escape, but without the hot tea. It has to be ice cold Southern Sweet Tea.
How to Create an Outdoor Southern Tea Party
Since we're coming clean, first I'll admit another thing:
I don't enjoy sewing.
ACK! I mean, I like it and can do it and I love how it turns out. And I enjoy that I can complete simple projects, but sewing just isn't my jam. It doesn't make my heart sing and kinda makes me a little nervous when things go wrong…which happens to me a lot. Although I got out my machine to sew my Farmhouse Apron, and stitched together my Embroidered Coffee Cozy, I wanted to be true to myself and represent for my no sew crew.
If you could see me now, I'd be throwing up a mad seam ripper gang symbol!
When I started creating this vignette, I started dusting off my sewing machine to use, but thought, I should show you how you can create a fun space with fabric even if you don't have any sewing skills.
For the screen-printed quilt square that I made into a tablecloth, I used good old fashioned iron on fuseable tape. Here's an affiliate link for the "Sweet Tea Star" (read my full disclosure here)
This stuff saves the day every time. Just fold the edges you want seamed and iron, then add the tape between the fabric, and iron again! Easy peasy!
For the pillows, I searched on Pinterest and found some awesome no-sew pillow cover tutorials like this one from Michelle and this one from Monique.
Using coordinating fabrics from the Sweet Tea Fabric line, and the tutorials from above, it's all knots and bows, my friends!
I was able to create a beautiful, tea party escape from all my stinky boys in less than 30 minutes! It was so much fun!
A Little Southern Sweet Tea History
First, let me tell you a little bit about my family and Sweet Tea. It's a staple in our home and fresh pitcher is made every single day. And did I tell you we were a bit snobbish about our Sweet Tea?
It's really sweet, it's not sun tea, or fruit tea, and it's definitely not instant! Now a few might argue about a few of our requirements, but like I said, we're professed sweet tea snobs.
The other day, a friend asked me how to make real Southern sweet tea. I thought it would be fun to share my recipe with you. Trent's momma had to school me on the proper technique of making sweet tea for my 'Sweet T', so, I thought I'd share the method I was taught with you all!
How to make Southern Sweet Tea
- 1 gallon Pitcher
- 2 Cups Sugar
- 4 Family size Tea Bags
(I'll share some healthier options below)
I use a vintage glass percolator that I found at a garage sale to brew my tea. I just removed the coffee making parts and use the glass pitcher, but you can use an old pot like Trent's momma did. Remind me to tell you all about that sometime!
First, bring the water to a rolling boil.
Next, add the Sugar.
This old melamine cup came from Trent's mom. She used it to scoop out sugar for sweet tea for years and now it's our daily tradition. (For a healthier option, we only use 1 cup of sugar. It's still sweet enough.)
Allow the sugar to fully dissolve in the boiling water and then remove from heat.
Add the tea bags and let steep for between 2 to 4 hours depending on how strong you like your tea.
(I substitute out one bag for a family size green tea bag for the antioxidant benefit. We can't even tell a difference.)
After the tea has steeped, remove the tea bags, pour into a gallon pitcher.
Fill the rest of the way with cold water.
I let it cool in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
I certainly enjoyed being a Sweet Tea ambassador and have equally loved stretching my creative muscles to find unique ways to work with this awesome fabric. Above all, I hope you have enjoyed what I've shared. Finally, I just want to extend a gracious thank you to Hoffman Fabrics and Karianne for finding me worthy to be a representative.
Be sure to head over to Jill's from Sew a Fine Seam and Alli's from Woodberry Way to find out what the other Sweet Tea Ambassador's created.

When ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene just before 4pm, they found a man lying next to the train tracks, ER24 spokeswoman Ineke van Huyssteen said.
"Upon further assessment they found that the man was in a critical condition. The man was transported to hospital under advanced life support interventions. Unfortunately, shortly afterwards he succumbed to his injuries and was declared dead in the hospital.
"The exact circumstances surrounding the incident were not known to our paramedics," Van Huyssteen said.

According to the esteemed Dr Johnson, if you're tired of London then you're tired of life.
I used to travel into London every day for work, an experience that was frankly rather grim. But nowadays I love nothing better than to spend a weekend in the capital, wandering along the South Bank, catching a West End show, finding off-beat attractions to visit.
This mix tape includes 12 of my favourite songs about dear old London Town.
Track 1 – London Calling (The Clash). A thumping vision of punk-era gloom that found new life as London's universally recognised anthem. On our last visit, we heard a foreign tourist singing the hook line as he walked by the Thames. "The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in. Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin. A nuclear error but I have no fear 'cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river."
Track 2 – Up the Junction (Squeeze). The Deptford boys' original kitchen-sink drama starts on Clapham Common and ends in self-pity. "Alone here in the kitchen I feel there's something missing. I'd beg for some forgiveness but begging's not my business. And she won't write a letter although I always tell her. And so it's my assumption, I'm really up the junction."
Track 3 – West End Girls (Pet Shop Boys). This slice of electronic pop always puts me in mind of going 'up West' for a night of drinking and dancing. "Running down underground to a dive bar in a West End town."
Track 4 – Warwick Avenue (Duffy). London's network of tube stations is often used as a point of reference when meeting up with lovers or friends. "When I get to Warwick Avenue meet me by the entrance of the tube."
Track 5 – The Only Living Boy in New Cross (Carter USM). Regeneration of Docklands in the 1980s opened up great swathes of southeast London. "The comfort and joy of feeling lost with the only living boy in New Cross."
Track 6 – Strange Town (The Jam). The big city has a reputation for swallowing up people from the provinces. "Found myself in a strange town, though I've only been here for three weeks now. I got blisters on my feet, trying to find a friend in Oxford Street."
Track 7 – Euston Road (Eliza Doolittle). Over the years, I've worn a groove walking up and down this particular stretch of tarmac, which is peppered by tube and railway stations to points north, south, east and west. "I don't wanna look ahead to the future but I can see King's Cross getting closer."
Track 8 – Hometown Glory (Adele). Heartfelt ode to her place of birth by the incomparable Skyfall songstress. "Round my hometown, memories are fresh. Round my hometown, oh the people I've met are the wonders of my world."
Track 9 – Electric Avenue (Eddy Grant). Reggae grooves lull you into a false sense of security while referencing the 1981 Brixton riot. "We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher."
Track 10 – Our House (Madness). No one will forget seeing Madness perform this song from the roof of Buckingham Palace, which had been transformed by the magic of lighting into a row of terraced houses, as part of the Jubilee concert in 2012. "Our house, was our castle and our keep. Our house, in the middle of our street. Our house, that was where we used to sleep. Our house, in the middle of our street."
Track 11 – London Girls (Chas and Dave). Once considered deeply unfashionable, the Cockney duo are now in danger of gaining national treasure status with their pub rock take on London life. "I've been to the east and I've been out west and I been all the world around but I ain't seen none come anywhere near the girls from London town."
Track 12 – Waterloo Sunset (The Kinks). No ifs, no buts – this haunting melody coupled with bittersweet lyrics is the definitive love song to London. "And I don't need no friends. As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset, I am in paradise."

First and foremost: I adore you. For the last 8 of my 56 years, you have been my son who walks on four paws and doesn't speak clearly. I rescued you sight unseen at already 7 ½ months old. I feel cheated out of your first 7 ½ months and know nothing of what you experienced during that time. I only know of the past 8 plus years you have filled with unconditional love, that have flown by.
Thank you so much for bringing smiles to my face every day and making me laugh out loud– and for comforting me during the times that are dark or sad. The companionship you give has made every day we've shared better and brighter. Even as I get older, the softness of your blonde head as you cuddle next to me reminds me that I am never alone. You are the laughter and joy in this house and I could not love you more deeply even if you could answer me back in a human voice all your own. Instead you speak to me with your endearing big brown eyes, the same as mine. You are my comfort dog.
Sometimes when you look at me with those eyes, I wonder what you are thinking. Perhaps you see a part of me that I can't seem to find in myself, or lost somewhere along the way. Your loving look and quiet calm remind me that I should just focus on the 'now.' You bring me peace of mind which is so elusive in our busy human world.
I envy that your world around you is simplistic. You are so fearless for such a small little doglet. You keep me safe from snakes, rabbits and squirrels, as well as things that go bump in the night. You're ready to take on thunder and fireworks. You bravely guard our castle when I have to leave you for short periods of time. When I return you are sitting in your spot in the window and I sing you the how much is that doggie in the window song– finishing with 'I know that doggie's not for sale,' and then add, 'not even for a million bucks!'
Sometimes I wish you were a person and other times I think you have already been in human incarnation, or will be next time around. You have already learned to be accepting of everyone. We need more love like that on this Earth. Humanity needs to be inspired to live like our dogs do–to live like you. You are always so willing to trust and to love.
You have kept me company and travelled around the world with me giving me companionship in faraway places. I wish you could know that people still love you from afar. They still check on you because of your special talent of bringing so much happiness to everyone. I am glad God chose me to share your world.
I promise that I will do all I can to keep you happy and that every night that you will be safe in your bed. Sometimes I wake and check on you while you are sleeping and watch you softly breathing. You are such a Velcro doglet, following me up the stairs, down the stairs–always watching me, when it's really my job to watch you and take care of you. I just wanted to let you know I love you and thank you for all you are and all you do. My sweet little doglet, Tucker, my soul mate on four paws. You will always be in my heart.

France's 'burkini bans': ugly politics on the beach
TOK TOPICS : Faith , Emotion , Human Sciences
Case description : Recently the Mediterranean cities , Nice and Cannes caused worldwide debate and resentment with their decision to prohibit wearing burkinis . The partial or total ban on Niqab or Burka already exists in many European countries with more and more countries joining in for the Ban in some form or the other.
TOK LINK : While , the most proximate reason for the ban is stated to be the risk of public disorder and security threat post the Bastille day Attacks in Nice , many feel that the ban has Xenophobic and Islamophobic roots. Also the French Premier Manuel Valls has called the Garment as the " part of the enslavement of women"- bringing in cultural and religious aspects to the debate that, some claim, undermines the French concept of secularism founded on freedom of conscience, a strict separation between religion and the state, and the freedom to exercise any faith.
Sample KQs:
How do we determine the boundaries for personal faith and customs within the ambit of Social Coexistance and order in Globalised world?
Should our social customs , traditions and laws change with the needs of the new global world?
