A key prosecution witness at the trial of the man cleared of killing PC Keith Blakelock was not even believed by his family, it can be revealed today.
Prosecutors will face fresh questions over their decision to bring charges against Nicky Jacobs after it emerged that the witness – known only as Q – had a long history of criminality and had received cumulative jail terms of more than a decade.
PC Blakelock was attacked by a mob of up to 20 people during rioting on Tottenham's Broadwater Farm Estate in October 1985 and was fatally stabbed. Seven men have been put on trial in the intervening three decades but all of them have been cleared.
Prosecutors have defended their decision to put Mr Jacobs on trial for the murder in a case based in large part on the evidence of three witnesses including Q. He had not told police that he had seen the attack until 24 years later.
The three all had extensive criminal backgrounds and two – who came forward in the 1990s – were "kickers" who were involved in the attack. Because they did not wield a knife, they secured immunity from prosecution in the 1990s in return for helping with a police inquiry.
The third witness, Q, came forward only in 2009 but The Independent can reveal that even his family cast doubt on his ability to tell the truth before the case came to trial.
"Even his former partner said what he said should be taken with a pinch of salt and that you can't believe anything he says," said a source. "She said that he will say anything to get attention and always wanted to be the centre of attention."
Q told the Old Bailey trial that he saw Nicky Jacobs stab the officer during the 1985 riots after the officer tripped and was surrounded by a group armed with knives, a metal bar and a machete.
The witness is believed to have a long history of offending that includes theft and obstructing a police officer that led in some cases to long prison sentences. The trial heard that he was a long-term drug and alcohol user. Mr Jacobs' legal team accused him of suffering from delusional fantasies, which he denied.
After a jury cleared Mr Jacobs of murder, Jenny Hopkins, the deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS London, said the decision to charge him followed a review of three police inquiries over 20 years and "it was right that all the evidence in this case was put before a jury and we respect its decision".
The Metropolitan Police also defended its use of the witnesses. Senior officers said that unimpeachable witnesses were unlikely to be found in the middle of a riot.Reuse content

VOILA! 2nd - 13th November 2016
The Cockpit presents the annual Frenglish festival
Voila! is a unique annual rendez-vous where francophone and anglophone cultures meet, through performance.
For the fourth year in a row, Voila! proposes an eclectic program showcasing theatre in French, in English, or both, that is sure to piqué your interest!
This year, Voila returns. Avec attitude.
Brexit will mean London becomes less international, less multicultural, more closed and narrower in its appeal and scope. No it will not. It will mean the reverse. Because renewed determination to relate across boundaries, take control and flourish will follow any tendency to contain or restrict our city to national anxieties.
Voila! The French are coming! This year Voila features an equal number of English-speaking companies and French-speaking ones, all inspired by francophone cultures. We started with London-based companies: this year four companies are travelling from France and one from Edinburgh. The others are London based.
The Foreigners are coming! The Cockpit is supporting Psychedlight by lending in-kind support to their comedy play made by and about refugees, this year's Voila flagship show.
The Theatres are coming! We are delighted that other spaces are interested in joining Voila and very excited that the unique Conway Hall is presenting a show as part of Voila
Voila is coming! – To kick off the festival we'll be showing tasters of all the shows featured, and are inviting press to joins us on Wednesday 2nd November at 7pm to experience the unique and diverse atmosphere Voila creates and enjoy a drinks reception. This will be followed by a performance of our flagship show BORDERLINE
Voila. And again Voila. Le beat goes on. Le spectacle continue. All welcome. Passports not required.
Un événement incontournable sur le calendrier culturel de Londres!

Festival Pass
Can't decide what to see? Want to immerse yourself in French language, while being entertained? Fancy bingeing on theatre for ten days, instead of being out in the cold? For the third year running, we are bringing back J'adore Voila! Festival Pass. And you're going to love it.
Book two shows and for a little extra (you'll never pay more than £29) you can come and see anything you want during the festival, subject to availability. (Please check online or phone the box-office on the day to check shows aren't sold out.)
£29 (Two tickets for two different shows must be purchased at the same time to apply.)
Here's how it works.
Select your two shows and the Festival Pass will be added automatically at checkout bringing the total you pay up to £29 all in. That's it.
Now you can attend your two shows - and turn up to any other event that you fancy.
All you need to do is phone us on the day of the event to check availability: 0207 258 2925.
Be sure to print your booking confirmation - or make a note of the booking number. You will need it, plus ID, when you come along to the theatre.

Papin Sisters by Rachel Edwards
Book DescriptionThe 1933 killing by the Papin sisters of their mistress and her daughter was an act of unexampled violence by women against women, whose repercussions have been felt in French culture ever since. It received wide journalistic coverage at the time, and subsequently prominent literary figures such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean Genet have dealt with the case, which has also formed the basis of a stage play (by Wendy Kesselmann) and films by Nico Papatakis, Nancy Meckler and Claude Chabrol. The case casts fascinating light on French provincial life between the wars, the role of women (especially unmarried ones) in French society, and French views of the criminal outsider. Its impact on psychoanalytic discourse, through the work first of Jacques Lacan, then of Francis Dupre and Marie-Magdeleine Lessana, has also been considerable, notably in its contribution to the development of the key notion of the mirror-phase. The almost obsessive recurrence of the case makes of it a fascinating prism through which to examine multiple aspects of recent French culture.

Kuzak, Mays Outline Ford's Plans for its Premium Brand
Since 2007, Ford Motor Company has sold off Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Volvo and closed Mercury, leading many to speculate whether Lincoln would be next. Could the Ford brand cover the automotive spectrum? No. Late in 2010, Ford hired Austrian Max Wolff away from General Motors, where he headed Cadillac's exterior design. If our interviews with Derrick Kuzak, group vice president for Global Product Development, and J Mays, chief creative officer and design group vice president, are any indication, Ford intends to put Wolff's talents to good use. Lincoln plans seven new or significantly refreshed models over the next three years.
Motor Trend: Why are you getting serious about
Lincoln now?
Kuzak: All successful auto companies have a premium brand, and when you're successful, premium brands drive very good profits.
You had some good premium brands, but sold them. Any seller's remorse?
No seller's remorse. We've learned from our experience trying to manage all those brands. The starting point for Lincoln will be the U.S., and becoming successful in the U.S. as a brand and product lineup and a business will be a priority. We believe there are opportunities globally, but we will focus on the U.S. initially.
What lessons have you learned from Lincoln and other luxury brands?
They must be fully differentiated vehicles, starting first with the exterior and interior. Badge engineering is not part of the thought process. We will have a unique driving experience that is truly Lincoln.
– Angus MacKenzie
Motor Trend: One of the pillars of the Ford brand's new design language is "visual premiumness." What does that mean for Lincoln?
Mays: It leaves room for Lincoln. I'd just like you to recalibrate what you're thinking and say, as we did, have we been underachieving on Lincoln? Is there more upside on Lincoln than maybe we've always given it credit for? Because I don't think there's a ceiling on how appealing we can make the vehicle. I'm positive we can design an even more upscale, elegant Lincoln than [the Ford Evos concept]. I just want to set the bar higher with Lincoln than maybe most people are anticipating.
You've tried a modern interpretation of the '61 Continental, which in its day was a departure from what anyone had ever done.
When I brought Gerry McGovern in, we went down that path for about three years. And I'm as big a fan of the '61 Continental as anyone, but we don't have the right platform or frankly the right culture right now for that kind of car. What I'm charging Max with is finding the purity of the brand without relying on retro to get there. We're off to a good start with him. That'll become apparent when you actually see something.

The Globalization of Nothing / Edition 1by George Ritzer
Pub. Date: 08/28/2003
Publisher: SAGE Publications
George Ritzer theorizes in his provocative new book, The Globalization of Nothing, that the "grand narrative" or social story of this period is a movement from "something" to "nothing."

George Ritzer theorizes in his provocative new book, The Globalization of Nothing, that the "grand narrative" or social story of this period is a movement from "something" to "nothing." Building on but going beyond his renowned Mc Donaldization thesis, Ritzer contends that societies around the globe continue to move away from "something," defined as a social form that is generally indigenously conceived, locally controlled, and rich in distinctive content. He argues that we are moving toward "nothing" – that which is centrally controlled and conceived and relatively devoid of distinctive substance. It is in the movement toward the globalization of "nothing" that "something" is lost. More than likely, that "something" is an indigenous custom, a local store, a familiar gathering place, or simply personalized interaction. Thus, the central problem in the world today is defined as "loss amidst monumental abundance (of nothing)."
The Globalization of Nothing takes the subject of globalization in new directions, introducing terms such as "grobalization" (the growing influence of, for example, American corporations throughout the world). This book is structured around four sets of concepts addressing this issue: "places/non-places," "things/non-things," "people/non-people," and "services/non-services." By drawing upon salient examples from everyday life, George Ritzer invites the reader to examine the nuances of these concepts in conjunction with the paradoxes within the process of the globalization of nothing.
The Globalization of Nothing is ideal as a primary or supplemental text for courses in sociology, anthropology, communication, business, and related disciplines. This book is also recommended for anyone interested in the critical study of contemporary social phenomena.

Made Event: John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia and Pleasurekraft on Governor's Island (SLIDE SHOW)
Electronic house rules the dance floor at Made Event's latest Governor's Island throwdown.
John Digweed, 45; DJ; London
"For New Yorkers, it's pretty special. I wish we had something like this in London. I think what's nice about it is that it's during the summer with the ocean air, so this is kind of like Ibiza on your doorstep."
Arielle Tatian, 27; makeup artist, Suffolk County
"It's a getaway, almost. You don't feel like you're in NYC. The palm trees are dripping with lights, water, movement, energy and culture. People come from all over to events like these. It's an interesting mix"

"Governor's Island is always a special place. From the moment stepping on the ferry, you get an immediate adrenaline rush. I have been here since [the party] started and this has been the craziest scene. I've been coming here all summer. For Digweed and Tenaglia, this is the most packed it's ever been."
Juan Garcia
It's a sick party. I can't wait to hear Danny T's beats at Governor's Island. It's amazing; I love the vibe and the people. I wait every year for this music festival and I love that everybody kind of knows each other; they all enjoy the music and the DJ. That's what it's all about—embracing the DJ."
When: Saturday, August 11
The scene: Made Event at Governors Beach Club
Feeling a bit suffocated in those dark and dank dance clubs? You can always come for air at Made Event's summer island parties, just a short ferry ride away from the southern tip of Manhattan. A breezy outdoor space lined with lighted palm trees and plenty of picnic tables, Governors Beach Club boasts a sandy dance floor large enough for the thousands of party people who turned out to hear London superstar John Digweed, beloved vet Danny Tenaglia, Pleasurekraft and Sleepy & Boo.—Natalie Gavilanes

Welcome to Jay Katari Business Blog
People ask me all the time how I got my start in the recycling business. I did my undergraduate at Florida State University with a major in Business Administration. I started South Florida Textile Recycling, Inc. in 1998. As South Florida population was exploding at the end of the 1990s, I recognized the need for more convenient and more user friendly places to recycle used clothing, shoes and house hold items. I placed my first 24 clothing collection bins in Palm Beach and Broward counties and the response was overwhelming. Our bins began filling up immediately and I knew I had a winner. Over the past 12 years I began 10 more clothing collection businesses in 12 states. Collectively, my recycling companies recycle more than 25 million pounds of second hand clothing and shoes every year. We employ more than 50 people in all of there cycling operations. In 2008, I opened my first 45,000 square foot retail store called Mega Thrift in Winston Salem, NC. I have opened 8 more stores in Texas and Florida and North Carolina totaling almost 200,000 square feet of retail space with plans to open 3 more stores each year to saturate the markets we are presently in. Our stores employ more than 250 people. We provide a very convenient, friendly and easy shopping Experience,where our customers can buy top quality brand name clothing at afraction of the regular retail price. I have developed a program to create jobs, help the environment and provide a service to the community by making recycling easier than ever.

I find it a little hard to breath
As I pace around the room
My mind is racing like a jockey on a horse
What will my father think of me?
How will my mother's friends treat her?
It feels like my heart has sank like the Titanic
I have this huge lump in my troat
I feel like busting into tears
It is not much longer until my parents get home from work
I sit for the rest of the time
I stare out the window as I watch the neighbor kids play outside
"How could I let this happen?"
I ask myself
I hear the door open
I turn to see my parents
Oh no
I can feel my warm tears
Crawl out of my eyes
I call my parents over
I can tell they are worried
Who wouldn't be?
Coming home from work to see their baby girl crying
I don't know how to tell them
So I ask them if we can play 20 questions
I just confused them but they agreed
It took them 7 guesses to get it right
I feel ashamed
My reputation is ruined
My daddy curls me up in his arms
I am glad for that
His warm embrace reminds me that I am still loved
My mommy kisses my forehead as if I am still her little princess
I am glad my parents understood
Now how will my peers view me?
They will call me things
Nasty things
Whore, slut, hooker,
Just to name a few
They probably ask me if I will get on tv
They don't understand that this is serious
I have another life to think about
Because I am pregnant
Yes, I am a teen mom

Developed by the Australian Government's Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), K-TIG is a high speed, single pass, full penetration welding technology that eliminates the need for wire, edge beveling or skilled operators. K-TIG provides order-of-magnitude increases in productivity, with welding speeds up to 100x faster than conventional TIG/GTAW welding in materials up to 16mm in thickness. A K-TIG weld is performed autogenously, without the need for filler wire, in a single full-penetration pass. The resulting weld is 100% parent material, without multiple fusion lines, virtually eliminating the potential for inclusions, porosity and other defects typical of many welding processes. K-TIG's ripple-free weld pool provides an exceptional quality cap and root that requires no back-gouging, finishing, cleaning or grinding. The K-TIG welding system executes programmable weld sequences that adjust weld parameters dynamically to ensure exceptional quality welds that are repeatable – every time. The result of ten years of research and four years of product trials in six countries has resulted in a new welding technology of extraordinary speed and simplicity. Welcome to K-TIG.

BABY P bungler Sharon Shoesmith's legal wrangle over her sacking could finally
cost taxpayers £3.5million.
The huge total emerged yesterday as she began a bid to overturn a ruling that
she was legally fired.
Shameless Shoesmith — head of children's services at Haringey Borough Council,
North London, when Baby P was tortured to death — could get more than
£1million in damages if she wins.
The cost to the public purse of defending the case will also top £1million.
And the mum of two is entitled to a £1.5million pension pot.
Lawyers for Shoesmith opened their case at the Court of Appeal in London by
launching an attack on Sun readers. They said former Children's Secretary Ed
Balls fired her in December 2008 without giving her any chance to defend
Barrister James Maurici claimed Mr Balls was swayed by The Sun's Baby P
petition, which was signed by more than 1.6 million people.
But Lord Justice Kay asked him: "Is it necessarily wrong, when the Secretary
of State is concerned with maintaining faith in the justice system, that he
should accord some importance to the only manifestation of public opinion
that he has?"
Mr Maurici poured scorn on the views of our readers as "worthless and
He was referring to the reaction of law lords to an earlier Sun petition about
the release of James Bulger's killers.
He said: "The Secretary of State doesn't need to look at a Sun petition to
understand what public opinion is about."
Shoesmith was axed over blunders when 17-month-old Peter Connelly died with
more than 50 injuries while under Haringey's care.
His mother, step-dad and that man's brother were jailed.
Hearing continues.

Man At Romney Rally Wears Mindblowingly Offensive Shirt
The Getty Images photo was taken at a Romney/Ryan campaign event in Lancaster, Ohio on Friday. A Romney spokesperson commented that the shirt was "reprehensible and has no place in this election."
Update Jamie Sabau, the Getty photographer who took the photo tells BuzzFeed the photo "was taken inside the rally, not taken in line" as some have questioned.
Update 2 Jodi Einhorn, manager of public relations for Getty Images also confirms "that contributing photographer Jamie Sabau shot the image in Lancaster, OH during a rally for Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Republican vice presidential candidate Representative Paul Ryan."
- Republican members of Congress face angry town halls flooded with voters opposing the repeal of Obamacare and other parts of the Trump agenda.

Dysfunction Junction
He left the seat up. She painted the bedroom fuchsia. He used a photo of her mom for target practice. No wonder playwright Rich Orloff whose Engagement Rules premières at Phoenix Theatres annual New Works Festival takes his comic cues from other peoples relationships, because dysfunction is damn funny (when youre not living it, of course.) The serio-comedy follows an older couple whove been married for 50 years and their best friends, a pair of thirtysomethings faced with a seemingly insurmountable problem. Other than the preview for family and friends that the playwright Orloff hosted in his living room, the staged reading is the plays debut. He says, I find bleak a copout, but I didnt want to write a Hallmark card either. This is real life.

Home > Press > US Venture Capitalists Discover Russia
For the first time in the history of the United States, a delegation of 20 leaders from the top US venture capital funds is coming to Moscow from May 25th to May 27th. The delegation also includes representatives of the US State Department.
The main purpose of the trip is to provide the delegates with an opportunity to learn about Russia and its growing investment potential in the high technology and nanotechnology fields. During the three days of the trip, the delegates will have a unique chance to meet the movers and shakers of the Russian technology markets, including government officials, members of the Russian business elite, famous hi-tech entrepreneurs, major law firms and investment banks, technology executives and local investors. The delegates will also have a great opportunity to explore the emerging scene of the Russian start-ups and learn about the established technology companies with high-growth potential.
The visit is organized by the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies (RUSNANO), together with the American Business Association of Russian-speaking Professionals (AmBAR).
The delegation includes the leaders of such well-known funds as Accel Partners, Alloy Ventures, Almaz Capital Partners, Asset Management Company, Atlas Venture, August Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Canaan Partners, Domain Associates, Draper, Fisher & Jurvetson, EDVenture, Emergence Capital, Index Ventures, JK&B Capital, Mohr Davidow Ventures, Siguler Guff & Company, Sofinnova Ventures, Trident Capital, Wellington Partners, and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati (law firm)
The total value of assets managed by these funds is over $60 billion. The aggregate investment portfolio of these companies includes more than six thousand brands, including such famous names as Amgen, Apple, Applied Biosystems, Baidu, Biogen, Cisco, Dell, Ebay, Facebook, Gartner Group , Google, Hotmail, Idec, Intuit, Juniper, Microsoft, Oracle, Redhat, Salesforce, Skype, Symantec, Teva, Verisign, Veritas, among others.
"In co-financing joint projects, the greatest value that Western venture capital brings is not money per se, but the smart money—the expertise, knowledge of how to grow a high-tech company, and management experience. I am sure that RUSNANO cooperation with top venture funds will create a deal flow resulting in a number of start-ups that will be implemented in Russia," said Anatoly Chubais, RUSNANO CEO.
"What Russia needs is not so much money as good customers—clients and users who demand useful innovations and who want projects implemented on time," says Esther Dyson, an angel investor, a Director of Russian search company Yandex, Advisor to Russian IT Services Company IBS Group, Advisor to AmBAR, and also a member of the Russian Government's Advisory Commission on its "Silicon Valley" Project. "The members of the delegation are coming not just as investors but also as role models."
Although such technological giants as Microsoft, Alcatel, Boeing, Google, Intel, Motorola, Oracle, Samsung, and Sun Microsystems have long had branches in Russia—recognizing the true value of Russia's growing market and intellectual ability of its developers—global venture capital began to look closely at Russia only quite recently. Nevertheless, just as they "opened" Israel, China and India with great success over the past twenty years, today more and more funds are striving to understand the extent to which Russia can become the next region with significant potential for high tech investment.
"Venture capital is a business that is based on trusted relationships. Meeting Russian entrepreneurs, business leaders, and potential co-investors will start to give US venture investors the comfort and familiarity that should lead to more investment in Russian startups. Innovation and great entrepreneurs are not stopped by national borders; venture capitalists shouldn't be either," said Don Wood, Managing Director at Draper Fisher Jurvetson.
"If you believe everything you read in US newspapers, Russia is an incredibly scary place to be, let alone to do business. Having invested in the country on a few occasions, at Bessemer we understand there are risks operating in the Russian ecosystem as it matures. It's far from perfect, but that's true about most markets, and we have no doubt that scores of important companies will emerge from Russia given the incredibly rich talent pool and intellectual curiosity among its citizens," said Jeremy Levine, Partner, Bessemer Venture Partners.
"Russia is emerging as a major force in the world economy and as a leader in technology innovation. Venture capitalists have always sought out talented engineers and entrepreneurs, and Russia offers an educated, hardworking and entrepreneurial workforce," said Brian Jacobs, Founding Partner, Emergence Capital.
