The grounds and buildings of Wentworth Castle, the site of Northern College provide a tangible record of the people who have lived and visited there. Lady Mary's monument is a perfect example of this. Lady Mary was the daughter of the 5th Earl of Kingston and Mary Fielding (cousin of Henry Fielding, the author). She was a 'woman of her age', regarded by contemporaries as a colourful character and a renowned author, traveller, eccentric and socialite. She was known, amongst other things as a matchmaker and the person who introduced the Prime Minister, Robert Walpole to Molly Skerrett who later became his wife. However, it should be noted, that in keeping with her character that when Lady Mary first engineered this introduction the Prime Minister was already married.
It is difficult to gain a picture in terms of what Lady Mary looked like. We do know that at some point she had been a great beauty until she developed small pox which led to some disfigurement. However, ironically this became a defining moment because it was whilst she was living in Turkey that she discovered that the Turks possessed a cure for small pox. Recognising the pain caused by this disease she brought the remedy back on her return to England and informed the Queen of the discovery. As a consequence of this action it was decreed that the royal children and future heirs to the throne should be inoculated against the disease. It is telling of the time and the position of women in society that she the medical profession were reluctant to acknowledge her work and to this day it is the name of Dr Edward Jenner who is credited with the discovery of the cure.
In 1739 she decided to elope to Italy with her lover Francesco Algarotti. Unfortunately love did not steer a smooth course as he changed his mind and did not meet her as arranged. However, undaunted by this she found a new lover the young count Ugo Plazzi whom she lived with in Italy with a further ten years.
By coincidence it was while she was in Italy that she met William Wentworth whilst he was on his 'Grand Tour of Europe'. It is a tribute to Lady Mary's character and the impression she had made on the Wentworth family that William erected a monument in 1747 in the grounds of the castle in her name. The monument is a simple reminder of the life of a remarkable woman of that century. It is highly probable that Lady Mary saw the monument when she returned to England for a short stay. Sadly she died of cancer in 1762.

2018 Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Tips
This post offers our guide to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Parties at Walt Disney World, tips for making the most of the party nights, which will occur in August, September, and October 2018. (Last updated June 22, 2018 with new attraction overlay details.)
Our tips and tricks for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) are based on our experiences attending the party every year before that for the last decade, and we last updated this post when the 2018 Halloween Party dates were released and tickets went on sale. Those dates are as follows: August 17, 24, 28, 31; September 3, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28, 30; October 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 26, 28, 30, and 31. Prices start at $75, with some dates over $100 per person.
Please note that some specific details for the 2018 Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Parties are not yet available, but 95% of this information will be accurate for this year's parties. We'll offer more thoughts on pricing and cover whether we think the Halloween Party is still worth the money later in the post. First, let's detail some of the other changes to the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party…
June 22, 2018 Update: Via the Disney Parks Blog, Walt Disney World announced today three attraction overlays coming to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party for 2018:
Mad Tea Party – The teacups will take you for a colorful ride with new lighting and effects providing a different nighttime atmosphere. Depending on the color of your costume, you too could transform under the new dancing lights. (Okay, calling this an "overlay" is probably a huge stretch.)
Pirates of the Caribbean – New pirates will invade the attraction, interacting with sailing guests who will join the search for "Gunpowder Pete." Since this is a party-only addition, we're guessing this will be accomplished entirely via projections and audio. Still, could be a neat addition. (Or a total disaster–time will tell.)
Space Mountain – Rocket ships will hurtle through deep space as a new soundtrack and special effects transform the adventure. This sounds sorta like Ghost Galaxy-lite, the campy overlay Disneyland receives during Halloween. As with Pirates of the Caribbean, this could be a fun seasonal variant with cool new effects and projections, or just the same experience but with different music. We shall see.
Beyond those three attractions, the biggest 'difference' for 2018 is that there are more Halloween Party nights than ever before: 34 parties. This is up from 32 parties last year, which was up from 29 parties the year before–every year for the past 4 years, there has been a record number of parties. This is not necessarily good news. While it gives you more choices in terms of when to attend, it's a bummer for guests who aren't attending the party, because it means the Magic Kingdom closes at 7 p.m. several nights per week to guests who haven't not purchased tickets for the Halloween Party.
So you can prepare for the Halloween Party now, here is our analysis based upon the last several years (we go to it yearly) to help you determine whether this expensive hard ticket event is worth it to you, and if so, what your "Plan of Attack" should be to efficiently conquer the various offerings. Between this party and Epcot's International Food & Wine Festival, plus improving weather, the fall months at Walt Disney World are one of our favorite times of year to visit!
Note that this guide covers Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, not Mickey's Halloween Party at Disneyland. For info about the latter, read our comprehensive Guide to Halloween Time at Disneyland!
Should You Attend?
So at over $70 a pop for tickets to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, you might be trying to determine, "is Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party worth it?" Our opinion, as Disney-biased tourists, is that it is worth the price at least once if you can afford the splurge (and, ideally, if you can go to one of the cheaper September nights). We do not recommend the $100+ Halloween night party. It's simply too much money and more crowded–you're better off attending a less expensive party earlier in the week and doing (free) trick or treating at a resort hotel on Halloween night.
Once you've experienced the party once (it doesn't change much year-to-year), you might determine that it's simply too expensive to experience again. For a one time event, it's worth it if your budget allows. In our updated Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Tips post, we do not make the same claim about the Christmas Party, which is more expensive for most dates.
Aside from the higher price, the biggest difference between the two parties is that the Halloween Party offers more special entertainment and character meet & greets. Personally, I enjoy the Christmas Party more, but I think it's undeniable that there's more to do at the Halloween Party. There's a lot of special entertainment including one of Disney's best parades and a great fireworks show, a great ambiance to the party including special decorations and lighting, lots of unique character meet & greets, and even seeing other guests in Halloween costumes makes for a fun experience.
If you do decide to do the Halloween Party, make sure to buy your tickets in advance, and use any available discounts (Disney Vacation Club member, Annual Passholder, etc.). Tickets are more expensive on the day of the party, and several nights each year sell out completely. It's wise to purchase party tickets early if you know you're going. It would stink to wait until the last minute and have your dates sell out.
If you're still not convinced one way or the other as to whether it's "worth it" for you, read our review at the end of the post…
What's New?
There isn't really much new. All major entertainment from prior years returned to the first party, with a few minor tweaks. There are some new snacks, new photo ops, and a Moana meet & greet, but otherwise, it's all pretty much the same at this year's Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.
Last year, not much was new, either. There were some minor changes, though. For instance, the 'Creepa Crew' that performed on Main Street prior to the Boo To You Parade last year has been replaced by the 'Zootopia Party Patrol', which is still the same type of high-energy entertainment, except now with Judy and Nick, too.
In the Boo To You Parade, there were minor differences. Exact same floats, just with re-arranged characters. New projected lighting effects and pyro were added to Hocus Pocus Villains Spelltacular (the big recent addition that we love), but this was not a major change. Besides maybe changing up some candy brands…that's about it. We attended the party last year, and wrote about the experience in our Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Recap, if you're interested in reading or seeing more.
Returning is the HalloWishes dessert party that's comparable to the regular Wishes dessert party, except with Halloween-decorated desserts. It costs $79 per adult ($47 for kids ages 3-9) on top of the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party ticket. The price has increased by $10 over last year, and there is not a reserved viewing area for the Boo to You Parade from Town Square. So, if you've been thinking that the Halloween party is just too darn cheap, this option is for you!
It is too expensive for us, so we have not–and will not–do the dessert party. Plus, the reserved viewing area is not a good spot for viewing the fireworks (for the best spots, check out our Magic Kingdom Fireworks Viewing Locations Guide), and there are just too many other great things to do at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (it's unlikely you can do all of the regular entertainment in a single night) to justify attending a dessert party. It's just not worth taking the time from the regular awesome entertainment of the Halloween party to do this. Plus, the idea of another upcharge event within an upcharge event just makes us cringe.
As for what you should do during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, here's our guide to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!
General Tips
The first important tip is to pick the best day on your trip for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Some nights are busier than others, and that post covers our tips for choosing the least-crowded dates. Disney prices these parties based on historical demand, so going on the cheapest party night you can is generally the best idea from both the perspective of saving money and avoiding crowds. Win-win!
Note that last year, MNSSHP attendance was, generally speaking, lower than in past years. This was the second consecutive year of lower crowd levels, and is undoubtedly tied to the dramatic spike in party ticket prices. Many of the events–even dates in October–didn't even sell out. That could totally change for 2018, but we suspect it won't given that Disney didn't budget on prices (and actually increased them again).
The second most important tip is to arrive early to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. The Party officially starts at 7 p.m., which is when all of the entertainment actually begins, but guests can enter with their Halloween Party tickets as early as 4 p.m. This is not something Walt Disney World advertises, but it absolutely is true, and you will see plenty of other guests arriving at 4 p.m., and Cast Members in their Halloween outfits at the turnstiles.
This earlier entry offers you potential savings to offset the cost of your tickets. Before we were Annual Passholders, we'd plan on doing Downtown Disney or a water park the morning we went to the Halloween Party, which allowed us to purchase 1-day less on our park tickets. We highly recommend that you do the same! In other words, if you normally would buy a 5-day ticket for your trip, buy a 4-day ticket and do something besides one of the 4 theme parks before 4 p.m.
The additional day you're not purchasing would have only added on $10-30 in cost to your total package, so we're not talking a substantial amount here, but it makes the Halloween Party more economical. To save even more money on multi-day Walt Disney World tickets, we recommend buying from an authorized ticket broker selling cheaper tickets than you can buy directly from Disney.
Read our Tips for Buying Discount Walt Disney World Tickets Guide for more information about saving money on park tickets. You can't buy Halloween Party tickets from these authorized ticket sellers, but the amount you save on your regular park tickets plus the savings on that extra day you're not purchasing will help offset the added cost of the party tickets.
The next biggest tip is to wear a costume! Well…hopefully. Thankfully, costumes will be allowed for all guests despite Disney's latest security policy update.
Here's Disney's official word on costumes: "while costumed attire may be worn, guests ages 14 and older are strongly discouraged from wearing layered costumes or costume props that surround the entire body as they may be subject to additional security screening. Additionally, costumes may not contain any weapons that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon." Phew!
At least half of the Guests who attend the party wear costumes, and it's a lot more fun if you do. You're spending a fair chunk of change to attend one of these parties, make sure you get as much value for your money as possible by wearing a costume.
You don't need to buy some expensive costume from the store–make one at home from items you buy at a thrift shop. Sarah and I attended Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party as the following: astronauts; an elf and princess; and "Cute Minnie" and a Toy Story Alien, among other things. Most of the time, our costumes are pretty lame as compared to other guests, but we still have a lot of fun!
For costumes, go inexpensive, simple, and most importantly…LIGHTWEIGHT. We have a Guide to Halloween Costumes for the Disney Parks that covers the nuts and bolts. Suffice to say, we have worn heavier costumes, and let me tell you what a mistake that was. It may be cooler at nighttime in the fall, but it's still Florida, and it's still humid and hot.
While you will see a lot of guests in complex and really creative costumes, unless you have a specific costume in mind that you really want to make, simpler and lighter is better as far as costumes go.
Arrive at 4 p.m., grab an event map for a refresher (see above) as to what is located where and entertainment showtimes, eat and do an attraction or two before 6:00 pm. Once 6 pm hits, it's time to get ready to party, and time to initiate your Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party attack-plan to do and see as much as you can.
If at all possible, find a way to avoid trick or treating or save it until the end of the night. It is a major time drain, and you could buy a bag of candy yourself for like $3. It may be difficult to convince kids not to trick or treat, but if you can, find a way. There is so much entertainment during the Halloween Party that you won't get everything done even if you don't trick or treat and don't do any attractions.

I accept the debate.
I will make my arguments this round. Only 3000 characters, very short.
There are a quite a lot of reasons to ban hats.
First of all, taking hats off in schools are a form of respect [1]. That is one of the reasons. If you wear you hat in a building it's rude. So we take off hats when we come in the buildings. Secondly, Sometimes in school, students will knock off each other's hats, and cause fights, and can easily move towards bullying [1]. To prevent fighting a bullying, we should ban hats. There are also theft of hats, when there are around 50$, and the students complain about it to the teachers, when the teachers cannot do anything. The main reason why we ban hats is because some students hide behind their hats to make it difficult or impossible for eye contact [1] ". "[Hats] can block a person's view, hide one's eyes from eye contact, and are often taken off and put back on repeatedly or played with [2]." This will distract the students from listening to the teacher because they play with their hats, and can't listen to what the teacher is talking about, because they are focused on playing with their hats. The teacher's lecture might be very important. If the teachers says for example to Bob which is playing with his hat, "Bob, what is the answer to hgndjfjnggjgj?" Bob will not know the answer, because he was playing with his hat. He will get in trouble. To prevent him to get in trouble, we should ban hats. Also, the students will hide one's eye contact when wearing hats. First of all, the students will not keep eye contact with the teachers, so the teachers will probably not ask a question to him, or the person with the hat, and probably forgot about him, or the one with the hat. Also, the students might cheat by not getting the teacher's eye contact, and looking at other's tests, and copying the other's tests. That is why we should BAN hats in schools. Vote for Pro in the debate.
I have shown in the debate that we should ban hats in schools because it is rude if we wear hats, it is distracting, they will play with the hats, no eye contact, prevent fighting and stealing. I have successfully shown why we should ban hats, so please vote for Pro in the debate. The resoltuion is affirmed, Thank you. I will make my rebuttals of my opponent's arguments in the next round.
[1] https://sites.google.com...
[2] http://www.teachnet.com...
Vote for PRO!!! Thank you. Off to my opponent in the debate now.
In Conclusion:
Banning hats will not end bullying. I find this very similar in ways to the gun argument. We need to have more discipline on the bullies, not hats. They will just find other means to torture the kid they're bullying that could be even worse. In my experience in high school I found the people that get bullied is often based on appearance or the way they act not what they wear.
Vote against the banning! Who knows what will be banned next!
Rebuttals/ Defense
My opponent says that we should ban religious head wear also. Yeah, we should ban it. The good things about pencils outweigh the bad things, when there is no reason to wear hats inside, which means there are no benefits. There are bad things, distraction for instance, and it automatically outweighs nothing, so we shouldn't wear hats in schools.
Paper outweighs it also. And you need shirts, but you don't neccesarly need hats in school. My opponent says that children should get a job where they don't allow hats, and don't wear hats. In school it isn't allowed also, so we shouldn't wear them, according to my opponent's logic.
My opponent says he wants to know why it is disrespecting. You know when you just say like "Hi dude" to a president its rude? Same thing here, it's just rude. My opponent doesn't rebut this argument. I never said that all people will be distracted. I said some people might be distracted. It's not about the *number* of how many people are distracted only if they *are* distracted or not distracted. And some people are, and some people cheat, so we should ban hats.
My opponent makes an example of paper, and we should ban paper. As I said, the good things about paper outweigh the bad things. And paper airplanes should be banned, not paper itself. Just because *one* person doesn't get in trouble doesn't mean we shouldn't ban it. It is important if someone *gets* in trouble, or doesn't. I showed that some people do, so we should ban hats. I know quite a few people who were in trouble by hats, so in the next year, the school banned hats.
My opponent doesn't refute any of my arguments, and I refute all his. Also, why would you even wear a hat insides? There is no reason. I have shown that hats bad things in schools outweigh the good things, which is *nothing*, so vote for Pro. The resolution is affirmed.
Conclusion/ Things to vote for
Conduct: Both had good conduct, tie.
S&G: Both had okay S&G, tied.
Convincing arg.: Me, as I refuted all my opponent's arguments, and show that the harms outweigh the benefits, and my opponent doesn't rebut any of my arguments
Sources: Goes to me, as I am the only one who made sources.
The winner is easily me, as I refuted my opponent's arguments, and I was the only one with sources. Therefore, please vote for PRO. Thank you for the debate, and please vote for affirmative, or Pro.
Two choices to vote
1. Affirmative
2. Pro
That decides the clear winner.

>Reported vote: warren42// Mod action: NOT Removed<
3 points to Pro (Arguments). Reasons for voting decision: Con essentially made two arguments: 1. Banning hats is a slippery slope and 2. Hats are not always bad. Pro refuted both of these. The first was refuted by Pro's analysis of other "distracting" things (paper, pencil, etc.) and either stated they were okay to ban or had inherent usefulness that outweighed potential distraction. When it came to hats, Pro pointed out that hats had literally no usefulness, which is consistent with Con's side of the debate. Con never said why hats may be good, only that they were not bad. Therefore, Pro's statement that any harm from hats outweighs the zero benefits rings true. I am forced to vote this way because Pro provided usefulness as the way to analyze hats, while Con didn't provide anything else to use as a weighing mechanism.
[*Reason for non-removal*] The voter specifically analyzes arguments made by both sides and explains how they inform his decision.
>Reported vote: BackCommander// Mod action: Removed<
4 points to Con (Conduct, Arguments). Reasons for voting decision: "You know when you just say like "Hi dude" to a president its rude? Same thing here, it's just rude" "My opponent says that children should get a job where they don't allow hats, and don't wear hats" Pro repeatedly shows that they are most likely skimming Con's argument as opposed to actually reading it. Pro repeatedly makes vague claims without evidence. In light of these facts, Pro's condescension and assurance that they've made a good argument, even though they've failed to adequately counter Con's points, loses them the conduct vote. Con did well to build a strong foundation for his argument. Pro used many "what if" arguments including bullying and theft of hats with nothing to back up their statements. Pro used opinions and guesses as facts, Con wins the convincing argument vote. Though Pro was the only one to use sources they were poor ones. One was a student ran news site, hardly reliable. The second was an article about an Australian school, which was almost all opinion.
[*Reason for removal*] (1) Conduct is insufficiently explained. Conduct may only be awarded in instances where one side insults someone, where there is plagiarism, or where one side forfeits. A lack of coverage on points or perceived skimming is insufficient reason to award conduct. If condescension occurred within the debate to the point that it was insulting, then the voter needs to cite that as a reason for awarding this point. (2) Arguments are insufficiently explained. The voter is required to assess specific points made by both sides, and in this case fails to do so for both sides. Generalizing to "what if" statements made by Pro is not sufficient analysis, nor is stating that Con built "a strong foundation for his argument."

5 points to Con (Arguments, Sources). Reasons for voting decision: My vote is tied, but ultimately, the more important issues (agreeing before and after) go to starmaster. His "ban everything that poses a distraction" argument is very good, but refuted by fire_wings. To me, banning hats shouldn't happen right away. Kids should be allowed to have one, and when it starts to affect their learning, you take it away? Does this sound similar to cell phones in school? People are allowed to have phones, but they can't get distracted by them, or they are confiscated (at leas at my school). I think this system is fair enough. Pro wins for his sources, and overall he's just a better debater. However, he is arguing for the wrong side. Grammar and conduct are even. Most of fire_wings arguments, even though they are presented well, are not too good. A cap being the source of bullying... what about hair? Shirt brand? A cap being easily stolen... well, so can wallets, book bags, phones... A cap is not to big of a problem, and therefore they should not be bann
[*Reason for removal*] (1) Arguments are insufficiently explained. There's little actual assessment of the arguments given based on points made in the debate. Instead, the voter appears to present their own arguments to explain why they found some of Pro's statements problematic, but never assesses Con's arguments to any degree beyond saythat it was "very good, but refuted". It should be clear why the argument failed, and where and how Pro's argument succeeded. (2) Sources are insufficiently explained. Even if only one side presented sources, as is the case here, the voter is still required to explain why the sources presented were reliable (i.e. relevant to the debate) in order to award these points.
If I went to an accountant who was wearing a hat, I would not hire him. I would be more likely to hire the professionally dress one instead of the one that doesn't care about being disrespectful.
When you get into the real world you will see why hats are dumb. They are fine in social settings but not in professional settings. Look at any professional setting and you will see 0 hats on anyone. Hats are for McDonalds employees, not for accountants. Wearing a hat in a professional environment is similar to wearing shorts. You can do it but damn, it's not professional looking.
I wouldn't hire an accountant who takes business meetings while wearing shorts.
If you want to hire a guy who has a hat and shorts on then go ahead. I will go with the more professional looking guy.

This is similar to why schools should not allow someone to have an open umbrella over them all day. It is stupid.
The real question is....why would you want to wear a hat indoors?

4 Benefits to A Computer Monitor Wall Mount
These days, laptop computers and tablets are more common than desktop computers. It makes sense, actually: it is becoming easier and easier to develop portable technology; and since people are finding their schedules more contentiously full than ever before, we continue to have higher need for computers that we can take on the go. And phones—as powerful as they are—just are not enough, anymore.
But, if you do work from home more often than not, or if you simply have a computer in your home that you never need to take with you, you might find it is actually a better idea to get a desktop computer. Should you choose to do this, then, you might also want to consider a monitor mount for desk at Primecables.com instead of a standard desktop monitor.
Here are a few reasons why:
If you are more prone to working on your computer only when you are in your home office, a desk monitor mount would actually be a more comfortable option in terms of optimal viewing. When you mount the monitor to the wall you can take advantage of the craning and turning options available with the mount—which means you don't have to crane your neck to find the best viewing angle. This also allows you to move it quickly according to the available light in the room.
As mentioned just now, another great benefit of a monitor wall mount is the ability to move it around as you need. In fact, you can also move it away from the wall according the varying ways you might use your monitor. From playing online games to viewing streaming movies to writing an essay or an expense report, there are many different ways you could use your monitor and, thus, many different ways you might want to view it.
Monitor wall mounts improve your space options in the same way that a television wall mount does. It actually restores some space back on your desk which would have been otherwise occupied by the monitor stand.
And while we are on the topic of the desk, the professional "workspace" is changing all the time. We continue to explore improved technology options as well as healthier ways to work—including new concepts like the standing desk and even the treadmill desk—which you can experiment with more easily should you mount your monitor rather than set it on top of a desk.

Yea! Scott surprised me with a very cool birthday gift... a Chumby. I'd never scene or heard of the Chumby before today. Here is the description from the Chumby site...
The chumby is a compact device that displays useful and entertaining information from the web using your wireless internet connection. Always on, it shows — nonstop — what's online that matters to you.
I've already downloaded a few fun widgets - I have icanhascheezburger , Chumby 9000 and The Daily Puppy. (remember when Disco was on the Daily Puppy?)
The Chumby software is still in beta, but it will auto update. Yea! I'm going to try and add my Do512 widget and see if it will load on my toy. This is REALLY nerdy -- My user name is Mary on the Chumby site. :) I love getting to be Mary on websites/social networking services.

In London, a van ploughed into a crowd near a mosque early on Monday, leaving one person dead and injuring 10 others in the second terror attack this month in the city.
Some locals came onto the street in support of the mosque on Monday, carrying signs saying "We love our mixed community" and "Leave our Muslim neighbours alone".
"Our community is in shock", he said, urging people attending prayers to remain vigilant.
After being seized, he said he had wanted to kill "many Muslim people", one witness told journalists.
The attack happened on Seven Sisters Road in Finsbury Park just after midnight.
Prime Minister Theresa May condemned the "sickening" incident, reaffirming Britain's determination to fight "terrorism, extremism and hatred".
One man died and 9 people were hospitalized following the assault, the latest in a series of terror attacks to hit the United Kingdom this year.
BBC reported that the Finsbury Park attack is the fourth attack to have occurred in London in the course of three months, after the Westminster attack, Manchester attack and London Bridge attack.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said, "While this appears to be an attack on a particular community, like the awful attacks in Manchester, Westminster, and London Bridge, it is also an assault on all our shared values of tolerance, freedom, and respect".
Locals held onto the Singapore-born suspect until he was detained by police and later arrested on charges of "the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism including murder and attempted murder". Met Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said there is now an ongoing investigation by the Counter Terrorism Command to establish why this attack was carried out.More news: Ileana d'curz mubarakan selfie
But the imam from the mosque outside of which the attack took place came outside and persuaded the angry, grief-stricken crowd to practice peace, not violence.
Details about the assailant were sketchy, but the assault the most dramatic against Muslims in London in recent years suggested a new, risky level of polarization in British society.
The man said: 'I have been living in London now nearly eight years - it is a good place, a safe place, but after what happened it doesn't seem to be as we thought it was'.
"These were the kinds of comments people were yelling out", she said.
Iman Atta, director of Tell MAMA, said the group had distributed safety leaflets to mosques, calling for vigilance so that congregations stay safe.
"Reassurance they are free to practise their faith, they are free to walk about the streets, and people must be able to do that", he said.
This time the attacker deliberately targeted Muslims, according to the police.
- UK Home Secretary Amber Rudd said, "We must all continue to stand together, resolute, against all those who try to divide us and spread hate and fear".
The Muslim Council of Britain said Monday's attack was the most violent manifestation of Islamophobia in Britain in recent months and called for extra security at places of worship.
She added: "I saw a lot of people injured". In March, a man plowed a rented SUV into pedestrians on London's Westminster Bridge, killing four people before stabbing a police officer to death outside Parliament.

As the oldest and most respected dive training and certifying organization in the world. NAUI offers a full range of training program from Skin Diver through Instructor Course Director, with dozens of specialty courses including Nitrox and Technical Diving. NAUI is one and only non profit organization agency certifying people to dive as the motto "Dive Safety Through Education", Headquarter in Tampa, Florida, USA Please go to www.naui.org
The Organization
The National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI Worldwide) has been teaching the world to dive safely since 1959. As the largest non-profit and most respected dive training and certifying organization in the world, NAUI offers a full range of training program from Skin Diver through Instructor Course Director, with dozens of specialty courses including Nitrox and Technical diving.
NAUI's global reputation for the best in training and educational products reflects its core values of quality dive training through education. Many organizations specifically choose NAUI for their diver education programs including Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, United States Navy SEAL Teams and NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston, Texas (USA) where astronauts train for their space walks.
While NAUI has long been respected for having the highest training standards in the recreational diving industry, we are also highly regarded for our Technical Diver Training. Many of our technical developments have been adopted by other agencies; our Techincal Diving Division continues to produce new theories and research that keep NAUI on the cutting edge of technical diving.
NAUI Worldwide is a membership organization headquartered in Tampa, Florida (USA) with tens of thousands of member instructors, affiliated stores, resorts, and service centers located in countries throughout the world. With tens of thousands of dive professionals and numerous affiliated dive training centers in nations around the globe, we have over one-third (and growing) of the US market with an even larger market share internationally.
For further information on affiliated stores, diver training, educational products and programs, contact NAUI Course Director in Indonesia:
John Edward SIdjabat – NAUI#41289
(+62-21-7060 3008) or firstname.lastname@example.com
Corporate Mission"To promote, through quality education, the techniques necessary for the general public to participate safely in underwater activities, and to educate those people in the preservation and protection of our underwater environment."
"Dive Safety Through Education" is more than our motto; it is the philosophy behind NAUI Worldwide. Since its inception in 1959, NAUI has been dedicated to providing the most comprehensive and safest diver training available in the world, and we continue to be the logical agency of choice among divers who desire a quality education.
As a membership association, NAUI is also dedicated to maintaining the highest levels of quality and integrity, and it is the responsibility of every NAUI member to ensure the quality of NAUI instruction. NAUI standards, policies and ethics are governed by the Association's Board of Directors, members themselves, who are elected through a democratic election process by the instructor membership.
NAUI members embrace six fundamental values in the pursuit of our mission:
Superior Leadership and Instructor TrainingNAUI and its members are committed to providing the highest quality leadership and instructor training possible. Embracing the tenets of over-learning, maximizing individual potential, public speaking, developing personal best aquatic skills, minimum and no impact environmental activism, and learning by doing consistently produces the best graduates.
Democratic Association of Equals
The democratic process in regular elections determines the Association's leadership, its Board of Directors. Each instructor earns the privilege to cast one vote for a fellow member that he or she believes can best serve the Association. The right to vote carries with it a responsibility and obligation to stay informed about Board of Director candidates and engage in the election process.
Trust and RespectSuperior Leadership and Instructor training are founded in the "Loved One" concept. That is, it is only those we would trust to train our loved ones to dive that we graduate at any level and especially so for leadership and instructor certification. This basis allows us to collectively trust members to behave ethically and respect their abilities as NAUI Leaders and educators.
Academic Freedom
Trust and respect are necessary for members to exercise a most cherished and fundamental right of educational leadership – the freedom to meet the academic needs of their students. Not all students are ready to perform skills one, two, and three always in that particular order. NAUI members are encouraged to explore and thereby discover new and innovative ways to help each individual student, as well as divers they lead and teach meet certification requirements – and further to share those discoveries in the Association publications so that other members may benefit.
Dynamic Growing Body of Knowledge and Skills
Exercising academic freedom and sharing resulting discoveries is a celebration of members' imaginations. It also leads to ever improving training producing better generations of graduates with each completed course. This directly contributes to and renews our organization's vitality and relevance to the diving industry in which we compete.
Ever Improving Leadership and Instructor Training
These dynamics produce perpetually improving leadership and instructor training courses as conducted by NAUI instructors, instructor trainers, and course directors, who incorporate discoveries and new methodology. The outcome is superior leadership and instructor training and curricula of excellence that benefit the Association, the diving industry and global public all the while furthering the pursuit of our corporate mission.

Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Houston Texans did a lot more than just snap the Indianapolis Colts' 13-game home winning streak against the Texans.
The 6-8 Colts now find themselves a game behind the Texans and in need of serious help if they hope to win the AFC South.
Via the Colts' official website, Indianapolis needs Houston to lose its final two games, while the Colts need to win out.
More from FoxSports
Should both teams finish 8-8, the tiebreakers currently favor Houston, meaning the Colts would miss out.
Indianapolis closes out the season with games against the Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans, while the Texans finish with games against the Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars.

I TOOK a special interest in Walter Smith's team selection last week with new signings Lee Carsley and David Ginola in the heart of Everton's midfield.
The irony is that I tried to bring both to Goodison Park in my last spell as manager. I asked David Pleat about Ginola (pictured) four years ago when Tottenham were giving out signs that they might part company with the Frenchman.
He was the type who could have given us a lift at that time. No doubt the same thought went through Smith's mind last week, although it's more of a short-term fix for Everton at present and certainly cheaper than it would have been if I had captured the player.
Then there is Carsley, a very different midfielder who will win the ball for you. Adrian Heath tipped me off about him in the first instance.
Inchy, when he was manager of Burnley, had tried to sign Carsley, who was in the Derby reserves at that time.
Then the player broke into the Derby first team and the price went up.
Inchy mentioned him to me when we were looking for that type. We didn't have the money for a straight cash deal, but I asked Jim Smith if he fancied a swop.
He asked about Craig Short, but Derby signed another centre half and it effectively killed the deal.
It's intriguing how both players signed within hours of each other. The Blues' midfield options have been increased dramatically with Tobias Linderoth also in the equation.
All three started brightly against Arsenal. Ginola is suffering a lack of match practice, Carsley (pictured) is stepping up a level again and Linderoth will take a few weeks to find the pace of the Premiership.
They did well but were never going to keep it up for the 90 minutes.
The free role probably suits Ginola at this stage of his career, although at his peak he was most effective playing wide and going past people.
When I asked Pleat about Ginola, he indicated they might do business at the end of the season. It never happened.
I remember speaking to David Jones when he was manager at Southampton. He revealed he had set up a swop deal with Spurs involving Ginola and Matthew Le Tissier.
Then Ginola scored a great goal for Tottenham, ironically at Goodison, and suddenly they refused to sell. I know how disappointed David was. He felt he would have got the better of that potential deal.
In recent years, there has always been a risk in signing Ginola. If you play him, will he have a positive or an adverse effect on the team?
He was criticised at Spurs and at Villa for not working hard enough. But managers buying him should know what his strengths are.
Usually when you are scrapping for points as Everton are, you need players to roll their sleeves up. But you could equally argue that you need players who can win you games.
Sometimes a Ginola-type lifts everyone. Eric Cantona was a gamble of sorts for Manchester United because of his style and character. That worked famously.
But then I think back many years to Rodney Marsh, one of the most skilful players of his day. There was no doubting his ability at Manchester City, but he didn't fit in and unsettled people in the dressing room.
Duncan McKenzie was loved by the Everton fans but deemed a luxury by most of his managers.
I bought Terry Curran for Everton. He was another flair player who gave everyone an immediate lift.
If Curran had been able to play for every club for just two months before moving on, he would have been a sensation. As it turned out, he had about 14 different teams during his career.
At least I had the opportunity to work with him on loan. Walter Smith has the bonus of having signed Ginola, initially, until the end of the season.
Hopefully the lift will come quickly and help turn the tide for the Blues, who desperately need points to move away from the danger zone as well as a boost to keep up the momentum in the cup.
Bridge too far for Ricketts>
AFTER the media push for Bolton's Michael Ricketts to be pushed ahead of Emile Heskey in the England team, I suspect the reality has now dawned.
Ricketts is a developing player at club level but it's different on the international stage.
Wayne Bridge, pictured, looked outstanding at full back. That was a bonus along with Darius Vassell, who impressed with his goal and his pace.
But I can't see too many shocks when the final World Cup squad is finally revealed.
Dreams of Mersey magic
I WOULD like to wish Everton and Tranmere the very best of luck with Sunday's FA Cup games with a special thought to inspire both clubs.
I expect the Blues to go through against Crewe and Rovers are more than capable of pulling off a giantkilling act.
If they stun Spurs, how about Everton v Tranmere in the sixth round? It would be tremendous for the city and Tranmere boss Dave Watson.
The magic of the Cup always gets you dreaming.

AMMAN (Reuters) - A rebel group affiliated with al Qaeda overran a Syrian town near the border with Turkey on Wednesday after fighting broke out with units of the Arab- and Western-backed Free Syrian Army, opposition activists said.
Fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant stormed the town of Azaz, 5 kms (2 miles) from the Syrian-Turkish border and killed at least five Free Syrian Army members, they said, adding 100 people were arrested.
The fighting is the most severe since tensions mounted earlier this year between the two rebel groups fighting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.

text: Hi everyone. I made a post a few weeks ago about going to A&E with abdominal pain. I had blood tests done at the time which revealed high liver enzymes. I went to an outpatient appointment yesterday where I spoke to a consultant for about 10 minutes. He asked a few questions and sent me for another blood test. He has given me a prescription for omeprazole which is a drug that reduces gastric acid production. He is also sending me for a "camera" exam which apparently means an endoscopy. I have never had one of these before, though I am aware of what they are. The appointment for that is for next month. I am nervous as this will be the most invasive procedure I've had done so far. Do you need to be sedated before having it done? How painful is it?

Hubby and I have decided to be nice to our chickens this year.
We live in a temperate zone, so we don't have much snow. Last year was actually the first year we had any kind of snow since we moved to South Carolina. However, it does get really cold here. It freezes at night and gets to a max of 45 degrees during the day over several of the winter months.
Well, last year we bought a torpedo heater to keep the chickens warm in the barn. No...we didn't cook them! The roof is very high in the barn so we really don't know how well it kept them at a decent temperature. Here's the nice part. We bought wood to lower the roof over the inside part of the barn for the chickens. We hope this keeps more heat in their area so they stay warmer. I'm sure it will. We'll set the automatic thermostat to around 40 degrees so they won't freeze. It's actually nice in the barn for humans at 40 degrees when the barn doors are closed.
Yesterday I helped Hubby with the roof framing. Today the yard boy helped with putting the plywood roof over that.
I'll try to remember to keep you posted on how this works.
Take care. Happy farming!

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that is characterized by the occurrence of seizures. If the patient has more than one seizure, then he or she may be classified as epileptic. The condition can occur due to genetic or acquired causes. There are drugs available that can help in controlling the seizures and also to treat the person. However, some epileptic patients may be prescribed to take Provigil as a part of their drug therapy.
Why Provigil? This is probably one of the constant questions that run in the minds of epileptic patients and others too when they come across this statement at any time in their life. Many may wonder as to why a drug like Provigil that is used primarily as a medication to help overcome narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea is being administered to patients with epilepsy as well. There are many reasons for this, and they are looked into in detail below.
The multiple benefits of Provigil in epileptic patients
The success of Provigil is that it has many off-label uses that are highly important in treating a number of conditions when the patient does not respond to other medication. One such instance of Provigil's off-label use, which is gaining more popularity among medical professionals, is the use of the drug in epileptic patients. The reasons for doing so are because of the number of benefits aided by the medication. They are:
- One of the reasons why a seizure becomes triggered is the lack of adequate sleep. Sleep deprivation can cause changes to the neural activity in the brain and in turn lead to seizures. The metabolites in Provigil help to maintain the sleep-wake cycle and reduce the chances of a seizure attack from happening. Continuous sleep of six to seven hours is healthier than disrupted sleep patterns of a few hours at a time. It can effectively bring this pattern into order.
- Another instance where the drug is very useful is when the epileptic patient goes through periods of fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness. These are a few common symptoms associated with people who have this condition. Provigil use does not cause seizures and it does not exacerbate the condition either, making its use safe for most patients.
- Side effects of anticonvulsant medication make the individual to feel drowsy and groggy in the head. It works as a better wake-me-up than caffeine and increases the focus and attention of the individual. Usually after a seizure attack where highly potent drugs have been used, the patient will be recover from the episode better with the help of Provigil to counteract the effect of other drugs.
Can I buy Provigil if I'm epileptic?
Considering these multiple benefits of Provigil, you may be tempted to buy the drug if you are epileptic. It is not recommended to commence any kind of prescription medication without the assistance of your healthcare provider. It can become habit-forming if its use is not regulated. Seek professional help first to ensure that the drug is first suited to your ailment and general response to treatment. If your doctor prescribes Provigil, then you can purchase Provigil from internet drugstores without any fear.

I am a registered provider with AXA PPP, Bupa, WPA, Simply Health, Alliance Surgical and PruHealth.
Please provide me with confirmation of eligibility for therapy and I will bill them for treatment.
Please ask if you are insured by another company and I will register with them.
I am an experienced adult trainer and can design and provide training in many areas, including language development and voice care.
Please contact me for more details.
I have presented at the Childminder's Conference in Bristol twice.
I can provide a 1 hour training session for your staff on keeping their voices healthy. This is particularly suitable for teachers, early years practitioners and others who use their voices professionally.
I am qualified to provide two Hanen Programmes (both group sessions):
I am keen to work closely with any NHS Speech and Language Therapist that is working with your child and will need permission from you for this. We will decide how we will work together. Sometimes this may mean the NHS therapist might take the lead, sometimes they may concentrate on school and I may work with you at home.
Appointments are available both at the Wells Road Osteopaths Clinic and at your home.
Your child's first appointment usually lasts for an hour. At this appointment we will discuss your child's developmental, medical and language history.
I will observe and may formally assess your child's language and/or speech abilities. I will give advice and a short report.
Therapy appointments will usually last half an hour and tend to include following up on previous advice and exercises to practice at home. Most therapy for children will be play based.
As children of this age are not able to do direct therapy, work is done though Parent-Child Interaction advice and practice.
I am licenced to provide the It Takes Two to Talk programme as a 1:1 parent programme.
Some children find it difficult to develop the full range of speech sounds needed to speak clearly. I can assess your child's speech sounds and provide the therapy needed.
If your child's speech was unclear when they were younger, they may not be able to manipulate sounds well enough to decode for reading. I can assess this ability and give advice for home and school.
Some children have an anxiety disorder called Selective Mutism. This means that in some situations they talk freely (often at home) and in others they do not talk at all, or only a little (often at school).
I have been trained by the UK's expert in Selective Mutism, Maggie Johnson, and can help diagnose and treat this socially crippling condition.
I am proud to be a Trustee of SMiRA, the UK Selective Mutism Charity. Check out their brilliant Facebook support group as well
More information about Speech, Language and Communication needs for children can be found on the Talking Point website.
This is a great illustration of the complexity of coordinating your lips, jaw, tongue, voice and palate for speech:
These are not necessarily to do with your voice, but are to do with "passing".
If the people that you meet are unsure of your gender they are likely to either ignore or abuse you. Your enemy here is gender ambiguity. Generally if you give enough cues to people to nudge them in the "female" direction, they will accept it and address you as such.
Choosing your name. Not many people get to choose their own name. It is a bit like being your own parent! The best names to choose are unambiguously female names. You don't need to be called Crystal or Fifi Trixibelle (though of course you can if you like!), Sarah or Jane are just fine, but Jo and Sam are ambiguous and don't give enough cues to people to nudge them in the direction you want.
Answering the phone and making calls. With your new gender obvious name always start a phone conversation with "Hello, it's Sarah (Jane or Crystal!). This works both if you are making a call, or answering the phone and again, gives a useful cue. On the telephone people can't see you, and your voice and name is all they have to go on.
Clothes. You don't need to wear a skirt or dress all the time, and it's not all about frills and flowers. Look around you, few women do. But be careful of presenting as androgynous.
Some "new" women can also get a bit giddy and go through almost an adolescent phase as the hormones and relief at finally getting going on their journey kick in.
Again, look around you. What sort of style do you like? Look in magazines
Those little touches. Though some people have to wear heavy makeup, some are lucky not to. If you are in this position I suggest that you still use a little lippy and/or eye makeup and some jewellery. Again it is a visual cue to nudge.
Your first appointment will last an hour. At this appointment I will take a detailed case history from you. This will include your medical history, transgender history and lifestyle. I will take some baselines of your voice and will teach you how your voice works and will give you tailored exercises to start you on the process of feminising your voice. None of this is physically invasive.
You may be asked to consult your GP about health issues that could be affecting your voice. If your voice is hoarse I will ask that you be referred to the ENT consultant (see here)
You will be asked to purchase the Student Package of Sing and See software to use to practice at home. This software is available both for PC and Mac.
Click here to be transferred to the Sing and See website for a copy of the software.
Therapy appointments will usually last half an hour and tend to include following up on previous advice and exercises to practice at home.
Therapy sessions can involve quite a lot of problem solving to work out how to make the necessary changes needed to feminise your voice and become a more complete woman.
Sometimes therapy can be quite challenging for people as they think and learn about themselves in ways they have not done before. We will explore what type of woman you are now and wish to be in the future. I will support you through this process.
Voice feminisation therapy for transgender clients is a specialist area of speech and language therapy. It combines acoustic assessment, visual feedback (using specialist software), strategies and support for pitch change, resonance, intonation, body language and visual cues.
In therapy I guide you and teach you strategies to make this huge change.
