The 21-year-old widower was jailed for 12 weeks a few days ago for assaulting a taxi driver.
Prison managers have housed him in a single cell alongside inmates on suicide watch to prevent unwanted attention from other offenders.
Tweed, who spent a week in prison last year at the start of a five-month term for attacking a teenage boy with a golf club, is said to be still grieving over wife Jade, 27, who died last month and was buried earlier this month at a televised funeral in Essex.
On his return to the Category B jail he was moved almost immediately to the health care wing which houses vulnerable inmates including those likely to self-harm.
A jail source told The Sun: "Jack was having nightmares about returning as he was picked on so badly last time because of his celebrity status. There are genuine concerns that he could be targeted, it's the sort of thing the tough guys would brag about to their mates.
"The last thing the governor wants is for someone like Jack with a high media profile to take a shoeing. They'd rather give him the soft soap treatment than risk bad headlines."
During his last stay, other inmates tried to force Tweed to smoke crack cocaine that had been smuggled inside.
A Prison Service spokesman said: "We cannot comment on individual prisoners. Those who are deemed vulnerable during their period in custody will be managed accordingly. Any prisoner who feels their safety is compromised can apply to be separated from the general prison population."

Last year's thread is here.
We do these threads every year and I always find it pretty fascinating to see what everyone's been reading, what your favourites are, and if you had any goals in mind for reading. Plenty of people last year had some goals in mind, such as wanting to read more POC and female writers and such.
My goal this year was to read more non-fiction, which if I'm comparing to last year, I technically did, but I definitely didn't read as many as I wanted to read. One's been sat on my currently-reading thing on goodreads for five months, and there are three I've been renewing from the library for months without actually getting round to reading oops.
This year I did read a lot, though, like more than I've read in the last few years combined. I read 81 books this year! But the downside is I barely wrote anything. Hopefully in 2017 I'll find more of a balance with reading/writing. My favourites are bolded. Books I hated/were awful are italicised.

Because I read so much more than I usually do, I've found it more interesting to break down, as I've been less picky about what I read than I have been in the past. Before and especially last year when I couldn't use the library and had limited time and no income, I only really read books that had specifically sparked my interest, books I'd seen buzzing around booktube and tumblr, and books I'd been recommended or already owned but had never got around to reading. This year I've had the luxury of the library and a job with wages yay.
50 female authors
19 male authors
8 POC authors
10 Non USA/UK/AUS authors
5 translated
22 fantasy
20 children's books
13 historical fiction (8 set in World War 1 or 2)
4 & 1/2 non-fiction
4 poetry/include poetry
6 short story collections
8 graphic novels/webcomics
11 netgalley books
Personal interests
4 books with deaf characters
4 books with autistic characters
5 books with a character who experiences memory loss
4 books with a character who has synaesthesia (only one of them well)
11 books that deal explicitly with mental health issues
Top three favourites: A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, and Racing Hummingbirds by Jeanann Verlee.
Worst read: The Painted Ocean by Gabriel Packard. I can rant about how awful this book is to eternity and back.
Most surprising read: The Coward's Tale by Vanessa Gebbie, which is a book that annoyed me to begin with but I adored by the end. It also made me cry, which is very rare, and is the only book I've read that uses future tense!
My goals for reading in 2017 are to read more non-fiction books, poetry, and translated books.
* * *
I don't expect people to break down their reading like I have, it's just been interesting for me to see what/who I've been reading and how my personal interests have affected my reading. If anyone's also read any of these books and wants to discuss them, I'd love to hear your views. So what have you guys read this year? Read anything you think is brilliant? Anything awful? Got any reading goals for 2017?

I honestly don't really remember. I know I didn't read much, but I don't remember what I did.
I know I finally finished the fifth A Song of Ice and Fire book. And American Gods. I think I might have read The Ocean at the End of the Lane this year. I've read it, just not sure if it was this year.
Also I recently started The Wheel of Time series. I've finished the book 0, 1 and 2 and I started book 3.

I finally made a goodreads account to keep track of all these things. I'd been meaning to for a while, but last march I actually did it, xD. I didn't read nearly as much as I wanted to, (for whatever reason high school seemed to have completely erased my desire to read from childhood) but I started the Hobbit yesterday, and I bought the LoTR trilogy. Loving them so far!
In the Lake of the Woods - Tim O'Brien
The Turn of the Screw - Henry James
Carmilla- Sheridan Le Fanu
January First - Michael Schofield
The Enchanted - Rene Denfeld
Manic - Terri Cheney
The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath
The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern
Of those, The Bell Jar, Carmilla, and the Enchanted were probably my favorites. Although none of them were bad. I liked them all. Hoping to read much more this year.

Oh my gosh, Lily, you read so much! Jealous! I only read a few books "for fun." I guess I read a lot counting school books, though... And not all of those were bad; I just had to read them so quickly that it was annoying because I had to skim a bunch. I had no goals, but I've been trying to get more into YA fiction preferably with more diverse characters than what I usually read. I bought A World Without You by Beth Revis because I heard it was good (plus I got a gift card to Barnes and Noble), but I haven't had time to read more than two chapters of it.
For fun in chronological order (because I was good and wrote the down that way ):
Graceling by Kristin Cashore
Every Day by David Levithan (so good)
Unwind by Neal Shusterman
Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino
Brave New World by Aldous (it was for school, but I wanted to read it anyway)
UnWholly by Neal Shusterman
UnSouled by Neal Shusterman (which, I actually didn't finish before last semester started up, oops...)
I won't list all the novels I read for my masters, but some are:
The 42nd Parallel by John Dos Passos
As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
Cane by Jean Toomer
Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser
Maggie, a Girl of the Streets by Stephen Crane
Call of the Wild by Jack London
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
The Beast in the Jungle by Henry James
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
The Short Story and Its Writer by Ann Charters
How English Works: A Linguistic Introduction by Anne Curzan and Michael Adams
The Artful Edit: On the Practice of Editing Yourself by Susan Bell (it's a pretty good book if anyone's looking for something that gets into self-editing)
The First Five Pages: A Writer's Guide to Staying Out of the Rejection Pile by Noah Lukeman (also pretty good, though definitely a lot more basic than Bell's, so if you've already got a lot of experience self-editing, then I wouldn't necessarily bother with this book)
Literary Theory: An Anthology by Julie Rivkin and Michael Ryan
How the Other Half Lives by Jacob Riis
Can you tell I took all my literature requirements in 2016? I also read a buttload of poetry and short fiction, but don't ask me what. About all I can remember without digging around for it is what I had to read over the last few weeks. XD

Scanning back through what I've marked on goodreads, I don't even remember a lot of the books that I apparently read this year.
I really liked the Martian, though I haven't seen the movie yet. Reread a Canticle for Leibowitz and it was still great.
Was disappointed by Asimov, Frank Herbert and Dan Simmons... spotty, spotty output. How can they alternate between such excellent writing and such terrible writing?
Reread In the Skin of a Lion by Ondaatje and didn't like it nearly as much this time.
Surprise highlight: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. I'd never heard of it, but it was good.
Jhumpa Lahiri is always solid reading.

OTTAWA — The next phase of the national shipbuilding program, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, is expected to be signed between Irving Shipbuilding Inc. and the federal government shortly, possibly within days.
A senior government official said Wednesday that the new contract will be announced "very soon," while Irving spokeswoman Mary Keith confirmed the announcement is "very, very close."
Irving completed the first phase — $9.3 million in preparatory work — on Jan. 27.
Phase II, known as the definition contract, will involve the first major steps toward building a new fleet of Arctic and offshore patrol vessels. It includes designing the ships as well as the electronics and mechanics.
Its exact value has not been revealed but it is expected to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
However, there are questions about how much of the work will take place in Halifax.
A former Irving employee said Irving Shipbuilding has reduced its engineering team to about four members from about 14 and most of the engineering work will happen overseas.
Months of work by about 60 engineers will be done in Denmark by Odense Maritime Technology, said the former employee, who did not want to be named for fear of hurting future employment prospects.
Top level designs will be done by General Dynamics Bath Iron Works of Maine in concert with Irving, he said.
The man also said a sole-sourced contract for the electronics package — from steering to fuel lights — has gone to Lockheed Martin Canada.
Irving Shipbuilding confirmed Lockheed Martin will take on that contract, called the integrated platform management system.
"We're confident in their ability to deliver on the requirements and to deliver best value to Canada," said Irving spokeswoman Deborah Page.
The contract with Odense has not been signed but is pending the Phase II contract being signed with the federal government, Page said.
But she denied Irving is slashing its in-house staff, but did say the company is "undergoing realignment."
"While we have had a significant number of people move on to new project areas and take on different roles, as well as ongoing turnover and retirements, there has been no concerted effort to reduce the number of engineers within the organization," Page said.
"We are actively recruiting for a number of engineering roles currently."
Accusations were also raised in the House of Commons Wednesday that the cost of the ships will run massively over budget.
The Liberals accused the Conservative government of lowballing the cost of the shipbuilding program by as much as $14 billion.
"Does this mean we'll get way fewer ships, a massive budget overrun or both?" asked Liberal MP John McCallum.
A spokeswoman for Public Works Minister Rona Ambrose responded to an information request by referring to the statement Ambrose made in the House of Commons, which was: "The cost estimates that (McCallum) is referring to come from military planners, and of course they have the involvement of auditors, cost estimators, and they're overseen by the Treasury Board secretariat."
Reporting on documents it had obtained, Radio Canada said they indicated the government is projecting a 2.7-per cent inflation rate for the shipbuilding program.
"That does seem insanely low," David Perry, a defence analyst with the Conference of Defence Associations Institute, said when asked what he thought of the government's projection.
A study of the American shipbuilding industry shows shipbuilding inflation actually ranges from seven per cent to 11 per cent, Perry said.
The main inflation drivers are wages for high-tech workers, commodity prices and increased technological complexity, he said.
There are two other contracts tied to Phase II. One is for the integrated electrical propulsion package, which are the electrical and mechanical components of a ship. The other seeks a third-party, non-governmental body to oversee the project.
The latter contract, while small, will almost certainly not go to a Canadian company. That is because that field is dominated by a few international companies such as the United Kingdom's Lloyd's Register Group, the American Bureau of Shipbuilding or Det Norske Veritas of the Netherlands.
The actual building of the ships will be carried out during the third phase of the project.

NBC and News Corp. Battle YouTube With 'Airwolf,' 'Fantasy Island'
NBC and News Corp's Hollywood-sanctioned YouTube competitor Hulu opens to the public today.
NBC and News Corp's Hollywood-sanctioned YouTube competitor, Hulu, opens to the public today, offering full-length streaming episodes of more than 250 shows (including 30 Rock, Arrested Development, and Fantasy Island), along with more than 100 movies (such as Boat Trip and Dude, Where's My Car?). Despite huge media companies' long-standing policy of getting everything wrong, the site is actually pretty great, and we'd highly recommend checking it out. Since it's a bit overwhelming, though, we've found the video you'll probably be looking for anyway — "Fight Like a Dove," the eighth episode from the first season of Airwolf (synopsis: "When a famous Nazi hunter is murdered, his daughter seeks revenge with the use of Airwolf"). You're welcome.

Ford is embedding its driverless vehicles with LiDAR sensors, which use lasers to scan the surroundings, to allow them to drive in snowy conditions without slipping.
The LiDAR system is a surveying technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser light.
The driverless car's in-built computer uses the information from four LiDAR scanners to create a high resolution 3D map of the area around it.
The technology is so accurate that it can detect individual snowflakes and raindrops in the air and the carmaker has created an algorithm that recognises this and filters them out of the car's vision, so that it does not alter its course based on precipitation.
While mapping their environment, Ford's autonomous vehicles collect and process a wide set of data about the road and surrounding landmarks including signs, buildings, trees and other features.
The car's sensors collect about 600 gigabytes of data per hour, which it uses to create the 3D maps.
Ford says the system is needed for the vehicles to find their way because GPS is only accurate to about four metres, which is not enough for accident-free autonomous vehicle operation.
By scanning their environment for landmarks, then comparing that information to the 3D digital maps stored in their databanks, Ford's autonomous vehicles can precisely locate themselves to within a centimetre.
In addition to LiDAR sensors, the driverless system uses cameras and radar to monitor the environment around the vehicle, with the data generated from all of those sensors fused together to form a complete picture.
This process results in robust 360-degree situational awareness. Sensor fusion means that one inactive sensor, which can be caused by ice, snow, grime or debris build-up on a sensor lens, does not necessarily hinder autonomous driving.
Ford's system is able to identify the deterioration of sensor performance, which helps keep sensors in ideal working order. Eventually, the carmaker believes its vehicles will be able to handle ice and grime accumulation themselves through self-cleaning or defogging measures.
In January, Ford said it was planning to use a new, lower cost LiDAR sensor made by California-based Velodyne in its new driverless vehicles.
According to industry executives, the high cost of LiDAR sensors is one of the main technical obstacles to widespread commercialisation of self-driving vehicles.
Ford said it would be the first driverless manufacturer to use Velodyne's new solid state 'hybrid Ultra PUCK Auto' sensor. The compact device replaces the spinning scanners mounted on the rooftops of some autonomous test vehicles.
Two of the new sensors can reportedly replace four LiDAR sensors and the Ultra PUCK is small enough to mount on a side-view mirror.
Google's director of its self-driving car project, along with auto industry executives, are set to testify before the American Congress next week on efforts to develop safe and effective autonomous cars.
The committee wants witness views "on the appropriate role of government in promoting innovation including removing unnecessary hurdles, and their strategy to grow consumer adoption of this new technology."
Major automakers and technology companies have complained that state and federal safety rules are impeding testing and ultimate deployment of driverless vehicles.
BMW recently said it was boosting its efforts to develop the technology, with plans to recruit thousands of software developers to combat Google's advances in the field.

Love Love that picture Karen! You are so little. Tabs looks very regal. Did you find him an ascot yet? lol
This is an awesome picture! What a coincidence, this morning I took a picture of my own shadow too. My cousin's husband is an amateur photographer and I'm helping him build up his portfolio by doing makeup for the models he shoots for free. We went to this place called Stony Point (near Simi Valley) this morning and I was taking random pics on my phone after I did the girl's makeup, and as I turned a certain direction, my shadow looked super long so it made for a cool photo.
That is a nice photograph. I like that it is so film noir.

All 88 hours of video solutions for the CCIE Voice Workbook Volume I have now been posted on our CDN and a new video playlist can be found here. For all who have purchased this product, access should be granted shortly, along with a link to this content placed in your INE.com members accounts.
About Mark Snow, CCIE #14073:
Mark Snow has been actively working with data and traditional telephony as a Network Consulting Engineer since 1995, and has been working with Cisco Call Manager and voice-over technology since 1998. Mark has been actively teaching and developing content for the CCIE Voice track since 2005, and the Security track since 2007. Mark's story with both data and voice technology started out quite young, as he began learning around the age of five from his father who was a patented inventor and a research scientist at AT&T Bell Laboratories. Mark started out on Unix System V and basic analog telephony, and went on from there to large data networking projects with technologies such as Banyan Vines, IPX and of course IP, and large phone systems such as Nortel 61c, Tadiran Coral, Avaya Definity and of course Cisco Unified Communications Manager in both enterprise and 911 PSAP environments across the US and internationally. Mark is also an accomplished pilot and punched his ticket in 2001. When Mark isn't learning, labing, consulting or teaching, he can be found either piloting or possibly jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, hanging off a rock somewhere or else skiing out west. He also might just be enjoying a quiet day at the beach with his wife and two wonderful young kids, Ryleigh and Judah.

Dear Mark,
I have access to this product, just wanted to know, will the solution videos will remain in their old format or will i get the newer video format ?
Hi Mark,
If I purchase the voice workbook, do I receive both hard copy AND the 88 hours of videos?
BTW, I love your products. INE definitely has the highest quality of all CCIE training products in the industry!
Keep up the great work!
Mark…..soon….u will monopolise the CCIE Voice Training market
I don't have to speak for R&S as it's indisputably already the best.
I have to agree with above statement. Only after viewing Mark videos, i am encouraged to pursue my career in Voice. Mark, i must say, this material is priceless, simply 1000 times more worth then INE's actual offerings. I am customer of INE and each time i am more then satisfied for their support and top class material.
No vendor in current market can match this material. It is just complete.
Let me also share one thing important. I was eager to buy this product since we are having IPT deployment of more then 1000 ip phones in our new HO. After viewing the initial videos, i think i can handle this project with right tools in my hand and with proper vision.
This may not be a right place but if possible Mark, kindly release individual trainings for Unity connection and UCCX. I dont know how much material is covered in deep dives but learning these products as whole will also benefit.
Kindly let us know about your input on my request
Hello Mark,
Thanks a lot for this great product, the best one in the market. Just one small question: Are you planning to put direct link on the member account? I can confirm that I have access to the CCIE Voice Workbook Volume I Video Solutions but I cannot find direct link to it. It would be useful it there`s direct link to this product.
many thanks in advance

NORWICH The 162nd Annual Chenango County Fair came to a close Sunday after an army of volunteers and vendors helped to accommodate the more than 40,000 attendees estimated to have passed through its gates in the last six days.
Weve already started planning for our next county fair. That process begins with talking to vendors and entertainers that were a hit at this years fair and asking them if theyd like to return again next year, said Mary Weidman, president of the Chenango County Agricultural Society.
Weidman said that she and the fairs nine directors were already planning for the 163rd Chenango County Fair and hoped to have the final arrangements for the 2010 event by May.
Its a never ending process, from one to the next, she said.
This years fair included countless sources of entertainment from amusement rides, midway games, vendors, live music, livestock competitions, equine events, agricultural exhibits, demolition derby, motocross stunt show, the firemans parade, tractor pulls and many more events all made possible by the Coleman Brothers Carnival and hundreds of volunteers.
At any given time, Weidman estimated that there are between 50 and 75 volunteers working just for fair organizers alone, not counting the dozens of others contributing to their individual non-profit agency or community groups such as 4-H, Rotary, Grange, Lions Club, the Boy Scouts and several others.

If the weather cooperates (right now things look good!), you'll see me on Saturday wearing this sweater:
Sizes: Ten sizes; intended to be worn with 1-2" / 2.5-5 cm positive ease in the bust.
Final Measurements: Bust sizes measure: 30 (32, 34½, 36½, 38, 40, 42½, 46, 50½, 54)"/77 (81, 88, 93, 97, 102, 108, 117, 129, 138) cm
Length from hem to shoulder: 21½ (22¾, 23¼, 23½, 24¼, 24½, 24¾, 25, 25, 25)"/54.5 (58, 59, 59.5, 61.5, 62, 63, 63.5, 63.5, 63.5) cm
Featured Materials: Berroco Ultra Alpaca (215 yds/197 m per 100 g hank). Shown in color 6259 Beet Root: 4 (5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8) hanks or approximately 783 (886, 944, 1032, 1075, 1179, 1252, 1359, 1469, 1579) yards/717 (812, 865, 946, 985, 1080, 1147, 1245, 1346, 1446) meters in an alternate yarn.
Gauge: 18 stitches and 26 rows = 4"/10 cm in stockinette stitch, blocked. Recommended needle size of US 7.
Pattern Notes:
Ayana is an easygoing but flattering V-neck sweater with waving rib panels to create a curvy impression. It is knit in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed together. The bottoms of all pieces are worked with faced hems. This keeps the visual interest of the ribbing while mitigating its tendency to pull in. Vertical darts are used for waist and bust shaping. On the front, the darts are worked into the sides of the waving rib panels. The waving rib continues at the top of the back neck.
(All images in this page copyright splityarn. She's awesome.)
With minor alterations, Ayana can flatter a variety of body types. As written, the V neckline and ribbed hem trim make Ayana visually balanced; the waving rib panels do a nice job of narrowing a larger bust.
Altering where the hem falls on the wearer's body and the depth of the hem ribbing can make Ayana a great choice for top-heavy or bottom-heavy shapes: Top-heavy shapes can expand and deepen the ribbing on the hem, or change it all to waving rib. Bottom-heavy shapes might consider eliminating the band of hem ribbing entirely. The sleeves can easily be shortened to draw attention to a curvy waist, or the ribbing on the sleeves shortened to draw a visual line across the wearer's hips.
Vertical darts allow for extremely flexible shaping, customized to fit your body. Should you desire less waist shaping than specified, you can either omit the shaping rows entirely, or omit only the shaping on the front of the sweater. Omitting only the front shaping (or using a smaller amount of shaping on the front) can provide a very nice fit on the small of the back without stretching the sweater too tight in the waist. Bustier women can accommodate their needs by performing more increases on the front of the sweater, and not in the back. The extra stitches increased can be decreased into the waving rib panels at the neckline.
The neckline is trimmed with a rolled edge: stitches are picked up, worked in stockinette for a few rows, and then bound off. This gives the neckline structural stability without interfering with the visual interest of the rib panels.
Berroco's Ultra Alpaca is one of my all-time favorite yarns and offers a wonderful fuzziness to the rib panels adorning the front of this sweater. I swatched the sweater in one of their more heathered colors, and it also looked great. If you'd like to substitute yarn for Ayana, I recommend you choose a yarn with some drape and either tweed or a fuzzy quality, to keep the lines of the ribbing soft.
Many thanks go out to Elizabeth Sullivan for tech editing, and Caro Benna Sheridan for taking the amazing photographs.
Ayana may be purchased here or from my ravelry pattern store for US$6.00.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to marketing brands online and the presence they need.
- Build a website that houses everything - all of your text, images, audio and video - in one, centralized, location.
- Use the existing platforms and build your presence within their community (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc...).
Both have merit, and you can also do a little bit of both. For example you can house all of your branded content in your own website, and use the existing online communities to set-up outposts (as Chris Brogan calls them) - a specific Facebook Fan Page or a YouTube Channel - to further promote what you're about with strong links back to your mothership (or website). You can also use a Facebook Page as your home base and direct people to a microsite for more information or to gather more data from them than Facebook might allow based on their terms of service. Personally, I advocate for owning your own space, building it and nurturing it and using those other/existing platforms to promote or extend the brand. Brands should own their content, community and type of conversation and not be beholden to the terms of service or whims of someone else.
It's a personal choice, but it's all going to change again soon.
Those big, lumbering websites with all of that functionality, flash and content could very well disappear into a mist of mobile before we all know it. Today, companies have big corporate websites and only a fraction of them have mobile sites, iPhone applications or even make it easy for a consumer to navigate through their content from a mobile device. For the majority of brands that are even engaging at the mobile level, it's of significantly smaller scale and proportion when compared to what their pumping into their Web efforts. Look around at the mobile adoption that people have. Whether it's iPhone, BlackBerry, Nexus One, Palm Pre or even the basic web browser on their cell phone, it's happening more and more and the growth is alarming.
Marketers are not going to be prepared for this shift... and this shift is now.
There are too many brands who feel like they waited too long before they really embraced the Digital Marketing opportunities that were there for them when the Internet became more commercial. Some feel like they still have not really mastered the channel. And, while all of this is going on, it's not hard to imagine a world in the not-to-distant future where the website is all but an after-thought. Where the first brand interaction happens on the screen in your hand. Where that first brand interaction seamlessly lets you accomplish all (and maybe even more) of your goals without ever really needing to go to a full-on web browser. That kind of world might dictate an even smaller web presence - a secondary place where it simply compliments or augments the mobile platform. Imagine a day and age where your website is simply a standard/checklist item to have (like being listed in the phone directory, having business cards or an address on the door of your physical location), but not because it is even a fraction of the brand experience anymore.
It's not a lofty science fiction thought... it makes perfect sense.
It's nice to think that you'll deal with that world when it arrives, but it might already be here. How many times have you been frustrated when you could not find the directions, location or store hours of a retailer while looking for them on your mobile? How many times have you fired open your iPhone only to laugh at how non-existent some big brand's experience is on that platform. This is the same kind of conduct we saw in the early days of the Internet. The difference is that things are moving faster. We have the infrastructure to support it and companies that are doing this well (see Amazon's iPhone app) are benefitting, while laying the groundwork and framework for what "online" will mean.
Marketers, businesses and entrepreneurs: this isn't something that's coming in the next decade. It's practically here and the opportunity is now.
