Fabulous 8.6 From 355 reviews
This hotel was great, I would definitely stay here again. The beds were comfortable, nice bedding and very clean ! The location was not perfect for my needs, but everything else was great.
The hotel is beautiful and located in the old part of town. Very convenient to shopping and sightseeing. The service i the bar was exceptional, as was the front desk staff. The same can not be said about the staff in the restaurant, where it seemed like we didn't count, because we already checked out before breakfast. Other tables were serviced before us, even though they came in after us. The waitress was complaining about how busy the morning was, when there were only 3 tables occupied! There were 5 of us with 2 checks and we had to ask to have our order taken and then walk up to the register to pay, because she did not come back to our table after we finished.
Great place and clean. Need a car to get around. Nice and easy parking.
Beautiful hotel in a just-ok location. Mountains are gorgeous, but too bad it's across from pretty drab looking stores. The pool was also nothing to write home about, but the really differences I experienced was at the Preston's restaurant. Out dinner was fantastic. Rib-eye steak and martinis...Yes! Pricey, but we are used to that where we live. On the other hand, breakfast hit rock bottom for me. The breakfast was terrible. If I had been there with someone else I would have put up a stink, but instead just kept quiet and didn't give a tip. Waffles were the frozen/toaster-type (the toaster marks were visible), ganache was Hershey's syrup, and what the menu said was fruit and the waiter said was strawberries...that was cheap strawberry syrup. The cold maple syrup was served in cafe-style packets. There was no whipped cream as indicated on the menu and the butter was too hard to spread. I asked for some softer butter, but he said he couldn't. What? No microwave? It took about 45 minutes to get this horrible food. Oh... and he forgot to bring my orange juice, so I he did remove that from the bill.

This will enable them to at least partially recover the account and include supplies and labor that had been needed for the good or service. Although earnings on the account may be reduced or voided, the amount of reduction incurred is as nicely.
If you're a relatively young company, securing finance might also be a tough challenge. As the process entails promoting your invoices to the factoring business, you get the money you need correct absent.
The financing company issues a letter of credit score in favor of your provider. The letter of credit states that payment is guaranteed, supplied the supplier delivers the item in accordance to the buyer's specifications. Almost all suppliers accept letters of credit as payment.
The main benefit that trucking bill factoring has over the other source of financing is that it can easily be discovered. No make a difference what dimension your business is, you can usually factor the receivables that you have. Invoice factoring can by some means be the quantity 1 answer for here you in case that your company needs money in an abrupt method. You can discover asset financial loans.

My candidate for this week and for my third post I picked another scene from Destined for an Early Grave (Book 4). This is a funny scene. Mencheres is the oldest vampire, so everyone looks to him for guidance. He is known for his proper speech and he doesn't say anything without thinking it through first. He is a careful leader. In this scene he is called out on his carefulness and his response is just perfect. When I read this scene I busted out laughing. If you haven't read any of the Night Huntress books, then the humor might be lost, but it is still cute.
"Then you remember the dream," Mencheres stated. "That bodes ill."
The fear of that made my reply snappy. "Hey, Walks Like An Egyptian, how about for once you drop the formal stuff and talk like you live in the twenty-first century?"
"The shit's gonna splatter, start buggin', yo," Mencheres responded instantly.
I stared at him, then burst out laughing, which was highly inappropriate considering the very grave warning he'd just conveyed.

So happy! Because someone finally leave me comment! Since that kind person can't read Chinese, I want to write in English to let him read and leave me more comments =)
Today I went to the Museum of Pharmacy with my learning circle where we learned about the health history of different civilisations around the world. A moderate but satisfactory learning day =)
At night I in fact wanted to go out but didn't manage to do so at last, so I ended up being with my rommie and others in the gym, while some guys are doing weigh-lifting, my rommie and I were doing stretching and later I found that I loved singing near the indoor swimming so much as there's echo there – hmm…I feel so happy when there's someone sitting next to me listening to me singing.
Something I treasured is that someone told me how Pinky was in their mind today – found that Pinky in her eye was independent, that she felt this girl could be comfortable to be on herself when not being with someone else – smiling to herself, singing, mumbling, observing, being curious around, while others were waiting in group, she felt comfy to sit on the other side of the road writing her journal…
…PInky…is always so uncertain about her ego in others' eyes. She wants to be a likable person who would yet be sensitive with and does care about others' feelings, even though by the end of the day deep in her heart she loves Emily in that French film so much feeling she's so similar to some part of her – she enjoys life, but she really enjoyed being a free thinker..
Pinky's also trying to find what's all those she needs in her life
She found that God's love is unfailing that she found, maybe without her knowing, that she wouldn't be depending on anyone, except for that very special one in her heart, and life.
Next is…where?

well I've carried on running week 9 r 3 since graduation - I need Laura's voice! and I have slowly seen my times getting quicker. it has been heartening and I now do 5k in 34 mins. And then this morning cold, windy and rainy. Legs felt like lead. over a minute slower :(. But this forum is great - we all support each other and we all know what it is like to have those fab highs of PBs and those lows of days when the duvet is so much more inviting.
AND... i still did 5k, I still ran, all much better than this time last year! so onwards and upwards and hopes for less lead in Thursday!

The top of Jangsan rewards those who reach it. The very tippy top of the mountain is chain-link fenced off, a relic of the Korean War, but from where we stand the views are wide. We summited the Haeundae area Jang Mountain after about four and a half hours of hiking, and from here, we can see Haeundae Beach, Centum City, Sajik Stadium, and a small wildfire with a helicopter making a beeline towards it with its load of extinguishing chemicals. A bit unsettling, but it looks under control.
Shane and I sip red table wine out of plastic Dixie cups along with the rest of the Busan Daytrippers. We found this crew, an ever-changing mashup of folks who get together to hike Busan's thousands of paths, on a local expat forum. They're a fun bunch, the kind of people who think of bringing wine along.
In the couple hours leading up to this faultless moment on the way up, we had passed by Pokposa, a Buddhist temple. It's Lunar New Year's Day, a traditional day for worship, and it's semi-crowded, yet quiet and peaceful. There's a bowl of fresh fruit and incense on the altar in front of a ten story pagoda, and a grey stone Buddha that faces every direction at once. We hear soft chanting floating out through the temple doors, and we peek into the temple buildings, feeling like voyeurs intruding into a sacred time and space.
We hike on for a long while, until we reach stop number two. We approach a shack, which our leader Joe tells us is a great little stop for some mountain food. After a few minutes of our searching, an old man crawls out of his sleeping shack (it's now about one in the afternoon), and brings us makkeoli, followed by the freshest tofu I've ever tasted and savory, pungent kimchi. Ten of us laugh and eat and celebrate how good it is to be alive, looking over the mountains and the sea.
Feeling renewed, we continue the hike, walking for a time along a barbwire edged land mine field, here in the middle of a metropolitan city, another lingering remainder of the Korean War. When we come out of this forested length of the hike, the landscape opens up and we're walking the perimeter of a tall grassed field, the kind I'm used to seeing back in the Midwest. This kind of openness is such a rarity here.
After our wine and photo ops on the top, we head down the opposite slope of the mountain. As we come down through the trees, in the distance I see a golden Buddha contrasting against a pine backdrop. When we arrive to Seongbul Temple ten minutes later, we're greeted with the light sweet smell of incense, stone lanterns, and a ten story pagoda. We watch Koreans bow and meditate and pray in front of the Buddhas, and our hike ends with the beauty of Buddhism.

These are the rules that you need to live by in order for you to have a successful, and financially stable life.
These basic guidelines can help you become more wealthy if you work at it and follow the steps.
There will never be a big reward or payday for people who do nothing to achieve their goals.
Money won't magically appear over night. You need to set a financial goal, work towards that goal, and don't get discouraged.
Whether you know what it is or not, you have a skill that people are willing to pay for. Search within yourself and ask "What am I good at?" Or "What do I love to do?". This is the best and most rewarding method for making passive income.
Be weary of naysayers and negative people/influences. This can slow your financial growth by putting you down, and making you think it can't be done, ultimatly ruining your ability to achieve wealth.
Do your reasearch. Be willing to dive in and work hard. Be willing to take a few risks.
Follow these guidelines and don't deviate from your personal financial goals. Stay committed, positive, and keep a good wealth driven mentality.

How to become rich? How to become wealthy? Follow this guide and keep the positive mentality.

Trying to silence me didn't work
This month marks one year since I sat in front of a disciplinary hearing at Petty France.
I had stood up and spoken out publicly on the state of our prisons and the state of the Independent Monitoring Boards that has a statutory role within each prison. Some may think I was too severe, and undermined the work that was done by volunteers. Others praised me for being brave enough to speak out as they were too fearful to face the consequences themselves.
I spoke from my experience and I spoke the truth. Seriously, the IMB is a shambles for the main part, a weak voiceless organisation that purports to be independent. Yes, there are some serious members that care about their role but blink and you will miss them! It's not independent by any stretch of the imagination, it's a department of the Ministry of Justice based at the MoJ headquarters Petty France.
I didn't have to appear at the disciplinary hearing, the MoJ/IMB could have made a decision on my future as a Chairman of an IMB without my presence. I was determined to be there and try to uncover the ridiculous allegations against me. What a farce it was. I had been suspended from my role for 8 months and during that time was investigated twice by the MoJ.
During the investigation, I learnt that the article I wrote "Whistle blower without a whistle" in the Prisons Handbook 2016 was not an issue with the IMB Secretariat. The problem was that I spoke to the press. I was interviewed by my local paper 'East Anglian Daily Times and by the 'InsideTime' prison newspaper. Suddenly my story was not only out in the open but was in every prison across the country.
Then came the prejudicial character assassination by both MoJ and IMB. I had struck a raw nerve. Three years previously the MoJ had commissioned Karen Page Associates to review the IMB. Conclusion was the IMB needed root and branch reform. They were so right, each board operating as a separate entity. There was nothing earth shattering about by article, I raised similar points to the review so why did the MoJ/IMB try to shut me down and silence me?
I believe it was a campaign initiated by a member of my board who had the audacity to send in additional material to the disciplinary hearing as he was scared that the decision would go in my favour and that I would reveal what was really going on in the IMB. It was rejected of course.
I didn't realise that when you needed support or help in situations you faced as a member of an IMB it wouldn't be available. There is so much I could say but basically the care team made up of members around the country that you could approach for support and guidance had been disbanded. So where difficult situations arose I was on my own.
Entering the hearing I was faced with a couple of familiar faces. The first panel member was on the executive committee for AMIMB. The same association that without permission had taken part of my article and printed it in their magazine and sent it to their members. So, no impartiality there.
I realised the MoJ had decided to change the terms of reference for the investigation without informing me, is that right?
The investigation was as a result of being suspended yet the direction and conclusion of the investigation had changed. I also found out the MoJ had been watching my every step for months and had a list of what I had said and when. Boy they were determined to silence me. I requested notes taken during the hearing and was disappointed but not surprised that so much that I had said was missed out. I don't know what so-called "evidence" was sent to the Prisons Minister everything was done behind closed doors. They had made up their minds, nothing I could say or do would change that. Just as in the beginning of their campaign against me I knew there would not be fairness. Ironic that the IMB strapline is "Monitoring fairness and respect for those in custody"
Trying to silence me didn't work
Since the hearing and at every opportunity without my hands being tied anymore, I have spoken out for positive change in the Criminal Justice System both locally and nationally.
I have met some amazing people, visited excellent schemes within prisons and worked with those I admire for their stand.
In trying to silence me the IMB/MoJ have given me a voice, a National voice. As I have said so many times before, I have never tried to raise my personal profile, for me the priority has been the issues I have raised. If you knew me you would understand this.
There have been so many that have walked beside me over the past year, some I have laughed with and some cried with. We have encouraged each other, we have shared our stories. I thank them all.
I am stronger now than I was a year ago and even more determined to play a part in the change that is needed within the Criminal Justice System.
Our Prisons are in crisis: Prison overcrowding debate
"Can anyone doubt that today our prisons truly are in crisis—seriously overcrowded, understaffed and volatile—and that the solution cannot be simply to build more, but lies rather in adopting fresh approaches to reducing their population and restoring what is now almost entirely lost: the real prospect of prison sentences actually being used to reform and rehabilitate inmates?"
This was the opening paragraph from Lord Brown of Eaton-under-Heywood on the debate on Prison overcrowding 7th September 2017 that he brought to the House.
I was there watching and listening very carefully and was the only person who stayed in the public gallery for the whole debate.
Why is the subject of prison population one that makes everyone uncomfortable?
Coincidently, it was exactly a year to the day when, in 2016, I sat watching and listening behind Liz Truss in the Justice Select Committee as she was grilled. This was her first time in front of this committee and they wanted answers. On the subject of prison population, which is at an all-time high, she said this: "…the metric I will judge myself is not prison population".
I have tried to pick out some of the main points during this debate
Lord Brown of Eaton-under-Heywood was very clear when he said, "Warehousing has largely replaced rehabilitation". He had four recommendations:
- Send fewer people to prison and for shorter terms
- Indefinite sentences, which are now commonplace, should become a rarity
- Facilitate prison release
- Drastically cut the number of recalls
Baroness Healy of Primrose Hill also picked up on the crisis that shows no sign of ending. Her suggestions included an urgent review of the use of short-term sentencing and to reverse the sharp decline in community orders. In addition, we should stop the imprisonment of women for non-violent offences and instead invest more in women's centres.
Lord McNally "I fear that part of the problem of prison reform is that in a way, the whole of our Prison Service is like a paddle steamer driven by two paddles, but they go in different directions. One paddle is egged on by the media, influenced by public opinion and by politicians who, when given the hard choice between backing the difficult decision or playing for the politics of fear, have too often chosen the latter, and by political parties of all kinds, which, when it comes to elections, put out their leaflets telling their would-be voters how crime is rising and how they are going to deal with it. That paddle, pounding away, always makes it difficult to get the case for reform."
Lord Ramsbotham "…if the Prison Service's distortion of its role is to be rooted out, Ministers and officials must stop ignoring, and start listening, to the clarion calls of those who, for years, have been drawing their attention to the damage that overcrowding does to a system for which they are responsible and accountable to the public"
Lord Hope of Craighead "My Lords, there are far too many people in prison who ought not to be there at all. I have been concerned for some time about what can best be described as inflation in the length of the sentences being imposed by the courts"
"As for rehabilitation, the effect of overcrowding is that the opportunity for effective rehabilitation is greatly reduced. On the other hand, many more prisoners are being recalled now for breach of licence conditions than ever before"
"The Government need to address the reasons for these rises in prison numbers as much as they need to address the physical problems the overcrowding gives rise to."
Lord Wigley "We desperately need a new fundamental review of the whole strategy of preventing crime, rehabilitating offenders and building communities at peace with themselves. We need radical new thinking and we need it very soon."
Baroness Murphy "We put money into policies and we have no idea whether they are being delivered, simply because we have no way of measuring and there is nobody who can do the measuring. So policy ambitions are not being addressed. Of course, the prison regime is most likely to lead to depression, anomie and disturbed behaviour. Inside prisons the situation is dire."
"Yes, we could have more mental health services but, frankly, it will not make any difference unless we solve the problem of how we are pouring people into the criminal justice system."
Lord Cormack "We should constantly remind ourselves that punishment is sending somebody to prison, and the purpose of prison is rehabilitation. That has been neglected and forgotten for so long. One of the reasons, I fear, is the commercialisation of prisons."
"We have to try to reduce the prison population. If we do not, we will continue to connive at perpetuating a blemish on our society. We are collectively indicting our own civilisation on our civilised values."
Lord Harries of Pentregarth "…I wish to focus on one aspect only—the impact of overcrowding on self-inflicted deaths."
"When a person is in prison the state has a particular responsibility to do all it can to ensure that they do not develop a state of mind where suicide is what they are tempted to do. Prison can lead to a sense of isolation, mental fragility and a feeling of hopelessness. For the reasons that I have outlined very briefly, the present overcrowding makes the situation much worse and is totally unacceptable."
Baroness Masham of Ilton"If there was a more comprehensive aftercare system for vulnerable prisoners when discharged, with ongoing rehabilitation and a place to live for those who are homeless, maybe there would not be so much recidivism, which is one reason for prison overcrowding"
Lord Bradley "…reform is urgently required of indeterminate sentences for public protection. I support an approach recommended by the Prison Reform Trust, based on the three principles of convert, protect and rehabilitate. IPP sentences should be converted from indeterminate to fixed-length sentences, starting with the shortest tariff lengths where the greatest injustice seems to have occurred. The public should be protected with a guaranteed minimum licence period for all cases following release. As to rehabilitation, we should ensure that a proper investment is made in the support of IPP prisoners after release."
Lord Alton of Liverpool "What is happening to the Government's proposals for getting prisoners into jobs after release, for ensuring that prisoners learn English and maths and for league tables to evaluate progress on education? Where do education, training, secure schools and young offender institutions fit into the long-term strategy?"
"…we need an entirely new culture in our prisons and a different attitude to the way in which we run them"
Lord Hastings of Scarisbrick "We understand the heart of the difficult arguments, and now it is time to move towards answers and solutions, to cut the cost to the public purse and to stop the unnecessary incarceration of men and women who do not need to be in prison."
"Why not invest our tax resources instead in their futures, and not in containing people in the despair and hopelessness of prison?"
Lord Lee of Trafford "…our prisons are a national embarrassment"
Lord Berkeley of Knighton "Overcrowding in prisons is severely hampering the opportunity for rehabilitation and the shining of a light in a dark place to illuminate a more redemptive path."
Lord Birt "What is needed is not more obfuscatory press releases from the MoJ, with numbers unaccompanied by any convincing narrative at all, but an integrated and convincing five-to-10-year plan that moves us ahead of the curve and contains prudent forecasts of prisoner numbers, with plans to build an estate without any overcrowding and with a plan for officer numbers that will allow our prisons to become controlled, disciplined and civilised."
The Lord Bishop of Southwark "It is imperative that we work together to increase hope and ensure that words and aspirations are matched by actions and delivery. There is an urgent need so to do."
Lord Low of Dalston "We should look not only at the prosecution and sentencing practice of other countries but at what they do instead with those offenders, particularly categories of offender who are no longer sent to prison."
Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers "My Lords, we are dealing with a problem that successive Governments have failed to solve for over half a century. The cause of that problem is that we send far too many people to prison for far too long: far longer than is necessary for rehabilitation and far longer than is needed to provide an effective deterrent."
"What is needed is a change in the public attitude to keeping people locked up in prison: a recognition that the cost to society of this form of punishment is prohibitive; that the cost of each year that a man spends in prison simply by way of punishment is depriving us of resources that could otherwise be used to meet urgent social needs, including those that prevent young people turning into criminals. To bring about this change in attitude calls for leadership and courage on the part of Government. The aim should be, for a start, to halve the number of those in prison. IPP prisoners should be released. Old men who no longer pose any threat should not be held in expensive custody. Most importantly, legislation should reverse the trend of requiring ever longer sentences."
Lord Colgrain "I have been drawn to three particular aspects of the prison system that seemed so anomalous that I subsequently drew them to the attention of the then Secretary of State for Justice, and I think that it is worth reiterating them now in the context of this debate on prison:
- Reduction of utilisable space, which in turn adds to the sense of overcrowding
- Delay in administration, which in turn restricts the execution of the system, which in turn leads to overcrowding
- Release late on a Friday afternoon, with limited ready funds and no protected environment within which to reside, must surely contribute to a higher possibility of reoffending than might otherwise be the case, with the subsequent prison overcrowding"
Baroness Hollins "Prison chaplains are trusted by prisoners. They are able to help counter the negative effects of overcrowding by offering personal and pastoral support to the prisoners in their care. Pressures created by overcrowding also threaten to undermine the quality and provision of family contact in prison—something particularly relevant to mothers with dependent children. As the noble Lord, Lord Farmer, stated in a recent review, family ties are as essential to rehabilitation as education and employment"
Lord Bird "Until we move on to prevention, until we start to dismantle poverty, we will have overcrowded prisons. I am sorry to say this, because overcrowded prisons are not prisons that work. We can be as clever as we like and come up with all sorts of solutions, but let us stop the churn; let us stop the arrival of people in prisons. That is the big, revolutionary need in terms of our thinking."
Lord Judd "If our system is not rehabilitating people, it is a total failure. There needs to be a culture and a professional commitment at all times to rehabilitation. Rehabilitation means recognising that prisoners are individuals."
"We all have a heavy responsibility to resist the cynical populism of the press and too many of our political colleagues when it comes to the challenge of prison reform. What we have now is generating crisis, not overcoming it."
Lord Cullen of Whitekirk "…there is little evidence of overcrowding in Scotland's 15 prisons.The most marked decrease has been in the number of young offenders. This points to the success of a whole system initiative which has encouraged a number of actions such as early intervention, opportunities for diversion from prosecution and support from the court process. For initiatives such as this the relatively small size of Scotland has assisted in bringing together the responsible agencies, sharing good practice and developing good teamwork."
Lord Fellowes "If any other public service were in the position of our prisons, radical measures would have to be taken, and quickly. In the case of Britain's prisons, this becomes more and more essential as the years go by, and the clear priority must be for a significant drop in overall numbers. The present numbers ensure that rehabilitation comes way down the priority list."
"I know that our Government have much urgent business to complete, but the state of our prisons and the intolerable burden we place on the Prison Service continue to shame us and remain a danger to the stability of our society."
Lord Woolf "In our system very powerful forces, coming largely from Parliament, continually drive up sentences and there is no equally powerful force which has the opposite effect of reducing them. That is what we have to focus upon…I suggest that we have to give the Sentencing Council a new remit whereby, if sentences are increased, it has to make recommendations under which they can be reduced. Unless we get a balancing factor of that sort, I am afraid that the present problems will continue."
Baroness Stern "I would make two proposals to the Minister. First, a radical review could be a very practical and sensible way to proceed. Secondly, would she consider inviting the Secretary of State for Justice—who has a very good reputation—to find the time to listen to the views of some of those in your Lordships' House in whom so much wisdom on this subject resides?"
Lord Elton "…it has been assumed that the problem that needs to be solved is how you treat criminals. But the problem would be solved with much less expenditure and much greater effect if you focus on how you treat children so that they do not become criminals."
Lord Marks of Henley-on-Thames "The state of our prisons is one of the scandals of our times. They are neither humane nor civilised and they fail as places of rehabilitation and reform. The combination of overcrowding and understaffing is toxic."
"…civilised society has a duty to ensure, by law when necessary—and experience has shown that it is—that prison is genuinely only used as a last resort; that prisons must be decent, humane and uncrowded; that sufficient staff must be employed to keep prisoners safe and secure; and that prisoners must be afforded full opportunities for education and work with a view to their rehabilitation. We should legislate to insist on achieving those standards. Only when we achieve them may we say that we have an acceptable penal system."
Lord Beecham "I observe that we already have a world-class system—unfortunately, it is a third-world-class system. We do not know what the Government's intentions are in respect of legislation. Perhaps the Minister could advise us. What has become of the claim in the Government press release of 23 February that the,
Historic Prisons and Courts Bill will transform the lives of offenders and put victims at the heart of the justice system, helping to create a safer and better society,
and that,
new legislation underpins measures outlined in the ground-breaking Prison Safety and Reform White Paper which will transform how our prisons operate?"
Baroness Vere of Norbiton "To reduce overcrowding, we must act in two areas. We must reform the prison estate and manage prisoner numbers."
"I believe that the reforms and actions I have set out show how we are effectively managing the prison population, now and for the future. In an estate parts of which date back to Victorian times, there are of course significant challenges, but we know where those challenges lie and what is needed to rise to them. With our recruitment of record numbers of prison officers, with our unprecedented prison modernising programme and our focus on rehabilitation and reducing offending rates, we are getting on with that important work to build a prison systems that is safe and secure and transforms offenders' lives."
But is THIS the real problem
I will give the last word to Lord McNally
"We therefore have to understand that the debate today, which will be overwhelmingly in favour of sensible reform, still has to pass that test of how we get a Secretary of State, a Prisons Minister and a Prime Minister who are willing to drive the reforms through."
Has prison reform become a humanitarian issue?
Think carefully – why would people who have been released from prison want to be integrated back into a society that thinks it's okay for them to be locked up for 23 hours a day, with little nutritious food, lack of education, virtually no purposeful activity, squalid living conditions, unsafe, rife with drugs and violence, where staff struggle to maintain order, where corruption, suicides, self-harm and unrest are all increasing, where budgets are cut and staff numbers reduced.
Surely it's time we asked why?
I think it's because prison reform should not be just a political issue.
Regardless of who the Secretary of State for Justice is, or who the Prisons Minister is, or what political party they are from, prison reform should not be contingent on who is at No 10, it should be happening anyway.
It has become a humanitarian issue.
I want to get things done.
I've had some prison Governors and Officers talk to me about prisoners and – honestly – I cannot even repeat the words that came out of their mouths.
And yet I've had other prison Governors and Officers confide in me about the growing concerns they have for people in prison.
On Friday 28 April, I learned that I was named a nominee of The Contrarian Prize 2017. It's a prestigious prize for those who have shown independence, courage and sacrifice. I didn't apply for this or seek the nomination, it found me. And I'm deeply grateful for it.
My fellow nominees are a formidable bunch and we're all Contrarians in our own way. In my case, I wasn't afraid to speak the truth to those in power, talking about the criminal justice system in the public interest. Doing so came at a huge personal cost including a face-off with the 'goliath' of the Ministry of Justice.
I'd like to use this nomination to propel and advance the issues I've been talking about. If it means we can see change and real prison reform by people seeing it more as a humanitarian issue then it has been worth it.
Contrarian Prize 2017 shortlist announced here
The Contrarian Prize seeks to recognise individuals in British public life who demonstrate independence, courage and sacrifice.
Now in its fifth year, it aims to shine a light on those who have made a meaningful contribution to the public debate through the ideas that they have introduced or the stand they have taken.
Ali Miraj (@AliMirajUK) is the founder of the Contrarian Prize.
Why our prisons need to be reformed
First published 05 January 2017 in East Anglian Daily Times under the headline 'Prison reform is taking too long, say ex-Hollesley Bay IMB chairman and former inmate'
Had the authorities listened to the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) at HMP Birmingham the riot on 16 December maybe could have been prevented. In their annual report the IMB wrote:
"the increasingly difficult behaviour of individual prisoners coupled with staff resource constraints give the Board cause for concern… Many staff are now concerned for their personal safety as well as for the safety of the prisoners… A solution is required urgently."
Instead what happened was described by the Prison Officers Association as the biggest prison riot since Strangeways in 1990.
So why have prisoners behaved in this way?
Toxic combination
Sentencing guidelines have placed more people in prison for longer periods of time and has, therefore, inflated the prison population to record numbers. This in turn has given rise to overcrowding, and together with under-staffing and the emergence of psychoactive substances also known as "legal highs", our prisons have become places of deprivation on a record scale. It's a toxic combination.
Less well publicised factors such as restricted access to education, to facilities, and the right of association with one another add to the frustration felt by those living inside. People being locked in their cell for 23 hours every day or sometimes for days on end during "lock down" creates a volatile atmosphere.
A high number of people in custody suffer from genuine mental health issues. They are imprisoned sometimes to protect society. But those are in the minority. Many people in prison with mental health issues are only there because the courts have no idea what else to do with them. For their sake and for the sake of society in which we all live, it is entirely the wrong place to send them.
IPP is defunct
Others are in prison under the now defunct rules on Imprisonment for Public Protection, known simply as "IPP". These people don't have a release date. Many prisoners today under IPP have already served time far beyond the normal tariff They are left to languish until the parole board decides it is safe to let them out.
I'm not saying we should open the prison doors and let everyone walk out. That would be reckless and irresponsible. But I am saying it is time to speed up the process of evaluation to make sure that those who don't pose any risk to the public be allowed to go home as soon as possible.
What concerns me most is the utter boredom that so many of people in custody must endure. They are invariably portrayed as having a low IQ, a high percentage with a reading age of an 11year old; many have been in care and come from seriously complex situations. What isn't realised is that many people in custody are intelligent, well-educated and have skills that could benefit other prisoners and need something worthwhile to do.
In other words, purposeful activity whilst in prison must be a priority. Lives are wasted here; I see it all the time.
So many organisations are involved in the 'prison industrial complex'. Big money is made from those who find themselves on the wrong side of the law. Everyone wants a slice of the profits, but too little is re-invested in the prisoners and in the conditions in which they are held.
There are not enough links with the outside community, with colleges and University. Too few businesses are willing to give prisoners another chance, but without a fresh start it is impossible for them to be reintegrated back into society.
Beyond the Gate
I have seen the crushing stigma that ex-prisoners live under on release; the failure of a system that is meant to be there for them beyond the gate, the lack of accommodation, the difficulties of finding work, the list goes on.
It's time for society to think differently towards people who find themselves in prison.
"Our prisons are in crisis and prison reform is taking too long."
Grayling's latest crackdown
From 1st November there has been a change in the Incentives, Earnings and Privileges (IEP) system within the prison estate (Ministry of Justice, 2013a; 2013b). How individual prisons will be able to make sure all prisoners comply will be interesting to follow. The 3 categories of basic, standard and enhanced will from now on be stricter and for those not on enhanced ROTL will not be possible. Therefore, for open prisons where rehabilitation through outside work is the norm, if those on enhanced do not fulfil the criteria they will likely be downgraded to standard.
This potentially will leave many prisoners with nothing to do during the day and bored prisoners are not good for any prison. If there are large quantities of prisoners which should under the new rules be moved to standard then how can they be managed? Likewise if prisoners are downgraded to basic, suddenly they will not only have to wear prison clothing which believe me is something to be desired but will have their TV's taken away.
Grayling has said that under the new policy, the lack of bad behaviour would not be enough to earn privileges; instead inmates would have to work actively towards rehabilitation and help other prisoners (No Offence, 2013)
But then some say why should they have a television? But where do you draw the line on punishment? Each prisoner is still a person and there should be a measure of consideration placed on each one. What has wearing a uniform, well jogging trousers and sweatshirts, got anything to do with punishment for an offence. It's not like the city where suits are the normal attire. Next prisoners will be wearing striped outfits or ones with arrows on. Time for a change surely! Let's stop wasting time money and energy in making prisoners look uniform and get down to addressing real issues such as reducing the prison population.
The Maidstone Prison incident this weekend (BBC, 2013; BSkyB 2013) shows that there is unrest within; let's hope this will be the exception rather than the norm in the future. Can this be linked to the regime changes introduced by Mr Grayling?

Church Plant - New River Fellowship
L-R : Issac, Will, Will Jr., Michael W. Smith, Fergus, Archie & Nerida.
Today the Henderson Clan visited Mary and Matt's Church, New River Fellowship, Franklin Tennessee.
It was an great church of a couple of hundred that meets in a converted Movie Theater Complex that they lease.
The church was envisioned and planted by the singer songwriter Michael W. Smith and it was obvious that although Michael has recently stepped back (he remains an elder) and handed the point leadership to Pastor Steve Garrett the congregation noticeably reflects his mark:
1 * Awesome musicians and singers playing in a contemporary yet relaxed style
2 * The service was middle of the road contemporary, thoroughly evangelical
3 * Like Michael the congregation was a happy outgoing and relational fellowship, very welcoming and warm. The Congregation mixing and laughing etc before, during and after the service.
It was great too that we could hang out with our new friends Bryan and Amber for church and afterwards at Panera Bread it was really nice!! No sugary sauces!!
Anyway today has been great and God's message was : "Jesus be my vision, and from knowing and following Him flows amazing power to live a life of relationship and worship of God that truly satisfies no matter what circumstances we face."

Forgive me. I had no idea what I wanted to title this post. I just knew some of the things I had to jot down. I had an uneventful Tuesday evening. The iron was my T.V. date. Clothes I almost forgot I owned are now fresh pressed and ready to wear. After clicking through some channels, hitting the "Guide" button numerous times, I settled on "The Princess Diaries." A classic in my book.
I actually did read the book, but it wasn't nearly as charming as the Disney film that rolled out when I was in ninth/tenth grade. I believe a friend had a birthday party and all six, seven, eight of us hit up the local cinema for the much-anticipated summer flick.
Popcorn purchased and settled in our seats, we took in the magic that only Disney can produce.
We all scrunched our faces at the nerdiness of Mia, a girl we could easily relate to in the clumsy department. We all swooned over the cute boys in the movie, which watching it tonight, I couldn't remember why we thought they were cute. We all roared with laughter at the comedy clips and well-placed sarcastic phrases, something I can still greatly appreciate. We all walked away pretending we were princesses, something we had certainly outgrown when we put away our Pretty, Pretty Princess games.
Memories flickered at me from the T.V. as I ironed my favorite shirts and khakis.
I laughed numerous times at the same lines I laughed at back in high school. And though it's been years since I was in that movie theater, I heard it. All the laughs from my very best buds. The belly laughs from friends I haven't laughed with in way too long. Then I remembered something else. Something I haven't remembered for a long time. I guess it might have something to do with the fact that my copy of Princess Diaries is on VHS. Cutting technology. But that's just it. The reason I had forgotten about my VHS copy of the film. Because I was obsessed with the movie. Obsessed. Did I mention I was obsessed?
To my delight, I had opened my very own copy of Princess Diaries on Christmas morning. And I had to watch it. Again. And again.
Ironing a new basic tee for layering, a memory hit me. A memory about that Christmas and that movie.
Fuzzy on the details, but I am certain my family spent Christmas Eve/Day in my parents' hometown. Christmas Day we went to my aunt and uncle's house. Opened gifts. Played board games. Munched on cookies. Shared stories. Somehow, ok, I know how, I probably made a big deal about wanting to watch my new movie, we ended up watching Princess Diaries. All of us. My parents. My sister. My grandma. My aunt. My uncle. My cousin. Realizing, while I removed my wrinkles, that it was definitely not the first movie choice for everyone else, I wondered why they let me get away with it. But it was sure nice of all of them. Especially Cousin "A." I get why my female cousins let me watch chick flicks, talk about boys, and took me shopping. But Cousin "A" is a boy. And he endured my favorite Disney princess movie. He laughed along with it. He didn't complain.
Then the memory continued. The next day we went to my aunt's home for the holidays. Opened gifts. Played board games. Munched on cookies. Shared stories. Somehow, ok, I know how, I probably made a big deal about wanting to watch my new movie, again, and we ended up watching Princess Diaries. We meaning my sister and me. And my cousin. Cousin "B." He said he'd watch it with us, "Mandy Moore is pretty hot." He laughed along with it. He didn't complain. So. There I sat. In another aunt's basement watching my new favorite movie with another cousin. Another boy.
I put the iron down, gently so as not to burn myself, and I was thankful. For a cheesy Disney chick flick. Because for the running time of the film, it brought me closer to friends and family. And it brought me closer to my memories with friends and family.Pretty good reason to be obsessed with it.
I ask. You answer.
- What movie were you obsessed with in high school?
- What movie have people endured just to make you happy?

Osiligi Troupe of Maasai Warriors
14 October 2017 | 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm| £5 – £10
Tetbury Goods Shed welcomes the Osiligi Troupe of Maasai Warriors as part of their UK tour for an unforgettable night of music, dance and culture.
This seven-piece group comes from the village of Oleopolos and its surrounding communities in southern Kenya – around thirty miles south of Nairobi. Since 2003, the group has been performing authentic and exciting Maasai tribal song and dance plus the world-famous Maasai jumping around the UK.
The shows have been received with great acclaim in schools, churches and theatres from the south coast of England to the Isle of Skye in the north west of Scotland, and abroad and we hope you will join us for this fabulous evening.
The group works closely with a small charity known as the Osiligi CHarity Projects to support infrastructural improvements in their local community. The results have been spectacular, including the building of a primary school, medical centre and an orphanage.
Handmade crafts will be available to buy on the night.

Ever wondered if your connection speed even comes close to what you pay for each month? I do. Given that I dont live in a too densely populated area, I seem to get a lot of contention on my connection so I was pleasantly surprised when I gave SpeedTest.Net a try.
It's quick and painless and although there's no choice of an Irish server, picking the one in London will give you a good idea of what's going on so give it a shot!

I agree with whoever the bright mind above me is. Koq was definitely in my top 3 sitcoms ever list, somedays more like 3 others like 1, but nevertheless always a great show. It definitely deserves a 10th season, and I hope to one day see a comeback. Who knows, maybe Leah and Kevin will be documented on their life as a couple in their late 40's again soon right? It's all a possibility (when there's money to be made). And there's plenty of that to be made with Koq, it's fans are loyal.
#9 Jul 12, 2009
damn, people here type like 5 year olds. Although its a shame that such a fine show ended, most sitcoms last only about 8 to 10 years.

And the dishwasher is full of a clean load an one more partial load that will fit in the dishwasher. Whew!!!! After whining because my dinner list was doubled (from me and my Honey plus MIL and FIL to brother-in-law a his three kids), holy cow and who shows up but DeeJaye and Rx, his brother and their 5 combined kids. Good thing I had cooked for an army.
The menu included the typical fare…..turkey, ham, mashed taters, gravy stuffing, a fresh veggies tray, cranberry sauce and various little munchies. The kids got out of school 2 hours early on Wednesday. Rado and I were here alone for 2 hours before Chevelle got home, so I had her mix ip the dip for the veggies and make "green stuff" (the pistachio pudding, cool whip, pineapple thing). I made sure everybody knew she had made it and everybody said what a good job she had done (even her sister). She was one proud little girl.
I only added one different thing to dinner…Pumpkin Soup. And I don't think I will do that again. It was blah. I used the Simmons guy recipe from the Food Network. I kept adding spices to it but not much seemed to help. If anybody out there had a good recipe, please pass it along. I might be enticed to try it again.
The desserts were something else. I was so tired of the regular soggy pumpkin pie that when the family said they liked the pumpkin cheesecake, I said hooray. So made that, pecan pie for MIL, buttermilk pie for my Honey and a pumpkin roll for my new step-grandson-in-law (boy, there's a mouthful). And that was just for practice because he wasn't even here.
For the cake:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 18 by 1-inch sheet pan. Line the pan with parchment paper and grease and flour the paper.
In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt and stir to combine. Place the eggs and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until light yellow and thickened. With the mixer on low, add the pumpkin, then slowly add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Finish mixing the batter by hand with a rubber spatula. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake the cake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the top springs back when gently touched.
While the cake is baking, lay out a clean, thin cotton dish towel on a flat surface and sift the entire 1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar evenly over it. (This will prevent the cake from sticking to the towel.) As soon as you remove the cake from the oven, loosen it around the edges and invert it squarely onto the prepared towel. Peel away the parchment paper. With a light touch, roll the warm cake and the towel together (don't press!) starting at the short end of the cake. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
For the filling:
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons Jack Daniels Single Barrel
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Soften the gelatin in the rum. Stir over low heat until the gelatin dissolves. Cool. Beat the chilled whipping cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl until peaks form. Fold in the gelatin.
To assemble:
Unroll the cake. Spread the filling over the toffee. Start at 1 short side of the cake roll and, using the towel as an aid, roll up the cake to encase the filling. Place the cake, seam-side down, on a platter and dust with powdered sugar.
This is a combination of Ina and Paula's recipes with my own twist. Very yummy. Enjoy Ty.
Well. think I will find my kitchen, go get my Honey's Christmas present and then take Cap'n Phil's advice…….put on my strechy pants and watch Deadliest Catch. Hope y'all had a good holiday.

Every year when Eid comes around, Muslims go to celebrate and honor their faith with family and friends. However, one big problem for young Muslims all around is school. Skipping school for a religious holiday is valid as an excused absence, yes, but missing all the material and having to make it up is rather tedious. But now, people are taking action to remedy this situation. In New York City, the progressive new mayor Bill de Blasio has declared that public schools will closed for Muslim holidays Eid-al-Fitr and EId-al-Adha, as well as the Chinese New Year.
"A child has an exam on a day that is one of the Eid holidays. They are either respecting their religious obligation or they are doing what their education requires them – but they can't do both under our current system," de Blasio said earlier in his campaign. He has now made good on his word by adding the holidays to the school calendar.
"The NYC Muslim community looks forward to finally having the Eid holidays recognized in our public schools. It will be gratifying to know that Muslim children will soon no longer have to choose between honoring and celebrating their faith or missing class," stated CAIR-NY Executive Board Member Zead Ramadan in a press release Wednesday.
The Muslim holidays being honored and respected is something that Muslims have been trying to achieve for a while. This is the first step. Hopefully this great idea will spread from New York City further down south, and all around to schools everywhere! Read more by clicking on this link:

Excerpt from an interview with a Delhi journalist from June 2014:
Journalist: Many of these farmers live in the perpetual fear of being displaced because of floods and the ongoing development projects such as extension of a new elevated road and the construction of new metro line cutting right through their agricultural fields. How do you think these farmers are coping with development pressures?
Response: I speak only from my interview experience and personal observation.
First, a note about annual flooding versus development pressures: farmers are accustomed to the annual floods and plan accordingly. They save and have enough money to sustain themselves and their families through the flood season without needing to earn extra income (such as working in construction). Development, on the other hand, is a constant and largely unknown threat. There are cases where a farm family was just a few days or a week from harvesting a crop and construction came without notice. I think the most challenging aspect of farming in a development zone is not knowing the dates of construction or the extent of what will be developed. One of my research questions was: what does your family plan to do if your land is developed and you can no longer farm this land? I heard a range of responses from detailed plans to move someplace else to vague answers of looking for more land, desire to return to their home village, or just not being sure of what they will do. The threat of development has been hanging over these farmers for years. My impression is that they have limited resources so they put all their time and energy into their current land, which they hope will continue to be available—rather than using precious energy to plan for an uncertain future that may or many not come.
My approach to the whole situation is that this is a case where the city wants to plan and develop in a sustainable way, but what happens when the need for low-carbon emitting transportation infrastructure needs that same land as local agriculture? Although the farmers along the Yamuna floodplain (and I refer to the entire length of the Delhi floodplain) produce only a percentage of the city's produce needs, they do produce a significant volume of produce for local markets, which contributes to food security (an important component of a sustainable city). Refer to our published paper for more details.
I guess my short answer is that farmers cope by planning for what they can (floods and seasonal patterns) and dealing with unknowns as they come. Since many families have been on the same land for years and have children in school, they DO plan to stay on their land as long as they possibly can.

In the latest synod of the Diocese of Niagara, the diocese's dealings with ANiC parishes – which have taken place mainly in the courts – were enumerated for the benefit of the synod delegates:
- Litigation with ANC – these comments are on public record
- Feb 08 – 3 congregations withdrew
- Preliminary Court hearings took place in Feb and then in March 08
- She ruled on the sharing the buildings by D of N and ANC – costs to be paid by withdrawing congregations. Application for appeal was denied and costs were awarded. The wardens of the withdrawing congregations are the defendants
- St. Peter's later passed a motion to withdraw in June of 08
- Costs have been adjudicated in one case – in favour of the diocese 20,000. This has been paid. Our request was for 180,000. The justice was looking at whether these costs are to be assumed personally by the wardens. We do not have a decision yet from the judge.
- There is a provision if there is a difficulty in the interim arrangements – this can go before an arbitrator. We have given a list of things that need to go before the arbitrator.
- The network lawyer has an application to move the court case from Hamilton to Milton. This application is to be heard on Apr 5. We oppose this.
- There is a case in the Diocese of New Westminster. In our case we applied for our right to hold these parishes. In their case the network are plaintiff and the diocese is the defendant. That matter is to be heard in May.
- We continue to work with the people of St. Peter's to bring them into the main body of the litigation.
- If we get a decision on costs in a reasonable period of time – there would be a possibility that we will be in court in the fall of 2009 – on the main action. That is optimistic.
- Everything in this report is on public record.
- No questions
There is nothing much new in this; the unnerving part is that there were no questions. After a litany of institutional persecution of Christian brethren at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, no-one could think of anything to say.
Perhaps there was something in the water.
