|Round The Red Lamp
|Arthur Conan Doyle
A Medical Document.
|Page 3 of 8
"Well, when a man lives year in year out among a thousand lunatics, with a fair sprinkling of homicidals among them, one's nerves either get set or shattered. Mine are all right so far."
"I was frightened once," says the surgeon. "It was when I was doing dispensary work. One night I had a call from some very poor people, and gathered from the few words they said that their child was ill. When I entered the room I saw a small cradle in the corner. Raising the lamp I walked over and putting back the curtains I looked down at the baby. I tell you it was sheer Providence that I didn't drop that lamp and set the whole place alight. The head on the pillow turned and I saw a face looking up at me which seemed to me to have more malignancy and wickedness than ever I had dreamed of in a nightmare. It was the flush of red over the cheekbones, and the brooding eyes full of loathing of me, and of everything else, that impressed me. I'll never forget my start as, instead of the chubby face of an infant, my eyes fell upon this creature. I took the mother into the next room. `What is it?' I asked. `A girl of sixteen,' said she, and then throwing up her arms, `Oh, pray God she may be taken!' The poor thing, though she spent her life in this little cradle, had great, long, thin limbs which she curled up under her. I lost sight of the case and don't know what became of it, but I'll never forget the look in her eyes."
"That's creepy," says Dr. Foster. "But I think one of my experiences would run it close. Shortly after I put up my plate I had a visit from a little hunch-backed woman who wished me to come and attend to her sister in her trouble. When I reached the house, which was a very poor one, I found two other little hunched-backed women, exactly like the first, waiting for me in the sitting-room. Not one of them said a word, but my companion took the lamp and walked upstairs with her two sisters behind her, and me bringing up the rear. I can see those three queer shadows cast by the lamp upon the wall as clearly as I can see that tobacco pouch. In the room above was the fourth sister, a remarkably beautiful girl in evident need of my assistance. There was no wedding ring upon her finger. The three deformed sisters seated themselves round the room, like so many graven images, and all night not one of them opened her mouth. I'm not romancing, Hargrave; this is absolute fact. In the early morning a fearful thunderstorm broke out, one of the most violent I have ever known. The little garret burned blue with the lightning, and thunder roared and rattled as if it were on the very roof of the house. It wasn't much of a lamp I had, and it was a queer thing when a spurt of lightning came to see those three twisted figures sitting round the walls, or to have the voice of my patient drowned by the booming of the thunder. By Jove! I don't mind telling you that there was a time when I nearly bolted from the room. All came right in the end, but I never heard the true story of the unfortunate beauty and her three crippled sisters."

-Was planning on gettin a ride in after tuning in the carb on the Trumpet today but a few other jobs poped up...
First off,my grinders all shit the bed at the same time Friday after I picked up the tubing to get goin on the Ho-matic.I was gonna rebuild that today.
My step-dad Jay has had an exhaust leak for over a year on his old Chevy SS S-10.Only made these a few years, 87/88/89 I think and he loves this piece of crap.He had a shop(Sullivan's) supposedly weld the leak last week but but they did a shitty job and just made a mess.No welding skill at all from the looks of it,just splatter and bubbles.He asked if I could take a look and instead of tryin to get in a tight spot with out a grinder I ended up wrapping it in that muffler bandage shit...Worked pissa!
Next Brother Gike, my step-bro stopped by and needed a bolt for his exhaust on the FLH.It wasn't that bad out but he decided to sport his suede face mask anyway.I think he likes that is looks like a cereal killer made it from the ass cheek of a victim and it scares kids.
later this afternoon I finally got to my shit.I changed over the banjo from a dual to a single and ran new fuel plumbing.Cleaned it up for now but I either want to get copper, clear or braided line...Fuck it,as long as it runs!
About 15 minutes after this the ol' lady needed me to give her a hand and then we were off to drop off the truck.Have to finish up my shit later.
We had an hour to kill so we took a ride up to Lowe's and scouted out some new tools. This Porter Cable will do just fine after getting rid of the guard and putting on a cutting wheel.Gonna get back to work on the Ho later on tonight,hope nothing comes up between now and then.

An attack affectionately known as "POODLE" (Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption), should put a stake in the heart of SSL, and move the world forward to TLS. There are two interesting vulnerabilities: POODLE, and the SSL/TLS versioning fallback mechanism. Both of these vulnerabilities are discussed in detail in the initial disclosure.
POODLE is a chosen-plaintext attack similar in effect to BREACH; an adversary who can trigger requests from an end user can extract secrets from the sessions (in this case, encrypted cookie values). This happens because the padding on SSLv3 block ciphers (to fill out a request to a full block size) is not verifiable - it isn't covered by the message authentication code. This allows an adversary to alter the final block in ways that will slowly leak information (based on whether their alteration survives verification or not, leaking information about *which* bytes are interesting). Thomas Pornin independently discovered this, and published at StackExchange.

. . .The Clothes On Their Backs is a return to the form of Linda Grant's first and best novel, The Cast iron Shore. Gripping and written with keen understatement it managed to be a domestic coming of age story, even as it takes in, via Sandor, the tumultuous sweep of the 20th century (in Sandor's run-down boarding house, Vivien doesn't only find her roots, her great grandfather "with the curls in front of his ears', but animal sex, too.)
In other words, that rare thing, a novel of big ideas that never forgets to tell you a story. Any frocks and bolero jackets you happen to come upon along the way are just the icing on the cake.

Vice Media have developed a series of harm reduction videos, including substances such as MDMA, cocaine., cannabis, nitrous oxide and more. The videos use a scientist from The Loop, a drug testing service from the UK, to answer some key questions that users often have, with practical suggestions to reduce the harms. Obviously, the only way to reduce all of the harms is to not use. However for those who do use, there are some strategies that can be implemented to reduce the harms. Some of the tips in the videos include: not to use MDMA more than once every three months, to reduce the risks of developing tolerance and increasing some of the potential cognitive effects of MDMA.

This picture has nothing to do with this post, but how cute is this Mickey Mouse Gnome?! Yeah, you have a smile on your face, admit it!!! LOL!!!
This reminds me that I still haven't posted any pixs of the Happiest Birthday on Earth! I'll just add it to the list of "Things to Do!" Its a looooong list!!! eee!!!
I'm so excited that its "spring break." I finished my class and am anxiously (ok, not really) awaiting my grade. I've decided that I don't like online classes much, the experience left me missing interaction with the instructor and classmates. I was going to take the quarter off, but I signed up for Color! An entire class about the fundamentals of color and their application! whee!!! Try to contain your excitement!
Sitting here enjoying a London Fog, contemplating the rest of my day, all this time for ME!!! I've already been to the gym instead of running. Been having issues with my breathing, allergy related, I'm sure, so I'm trying to avoid the outdoors as the wheezing is way too intense during my training. Horrible timing. I just signed up for the Santa Cruz Half Marathon. I waited until past the halfway point in the training schedule to make sure my back would take the added mileage, and low and behold, I think I have exercise induced asthma. (sigh.) The appointment with the asthma specialist won't come soon enough, I've missed two longer runs (6 and 8 miles) 'cause I've been worried about my breathing and other workouts b/c I'm not dealing well with another setback.
Tomorrow, I'll be out and about with the realtor looking at houses. (I didn't mention I was house hunting did I?) Got my pre-approval! Been out a couple of times looking at properties already, but practicing non-attachment. I'm still certain I am too immature and not responsible enough for such a big commitment, but so far, this has been a great learning experience!
Signing off with my 6 good things... I've been slacking on my lists again...
1) Seeing my Linda and a visit from my Sean!
2) A hug from D!
3) Keeping score at the 3 on 3 Basketball tourney at work (LOL! I really know nothing about basketball!) So much fun to watch!

I'm trying to become more organized. Especially here in my dungeon. I have, for the most part, everything down here organized fairly well. I have several drawer carts where I keep all my scrapbooking things, my yarn, etc. I have my fabric stash somewhat organized into long rubbermaid bins but they are overflowing. My husband is going to build me some shelves with cubby holes to transfer the fabric to. Can't wait for those shelves!
Anyway, I love anything that makes it easy to keep things organized. Like this, for instance:
Pattern: Butterick B4476
I had this pattern and thought it would be nice to have. It was EXTREMELY easy to make and now all those little things I like to keep handy while sewing are exactly that. Handy.
I have another pattern for a knitting needle organizer, which I desperately need. I plan on making that, but not until after Christmas. My plate is too full so I will suffer through until then.

Welp, folks, it's that biennial time of the year when I've posted grades and now can't focus on anything. Like the veritable chicken, I feel a good bit discombobulated. With that in mind, here's some thoughts that will explain what I mean.
1. My old iPad, which we technically didn't purchase and is somewhere around 6 or 7 years old, is acting downright twerpish. So, we've full-on upgraded (paid for it this time) and bought a new one. It's one of those where we weighed the decision for about 3 months 'cause on the one hand, I use it all day long for emails and such, but on the other hand, it's still a splurge. Kudos to you, Apple, for making all of your products seemingly necessities when they're not. Because of this new purchase, I don't have a case for it. So to the rescue (cue the trumpets) comes my Sur La Table holiday catalog. I have been using this as my travel case for one month now as a means of offering at least some protection from stuff. It works well enough and I get to continue thinking about Le Creuset dutch ovens and Japanese-crafted knives.
2. I have a firm and fast rule in my house that we change out of pajamas every day in this house, even if we're not going anywhere because once you give an inch to my daughter(s), you're not wearing jeans ever again. Yesterday, the girls stayed in PJs all day long (Polar Express day), only changing from the day-old pair to a fresh set at night because I draw the invisible line there. There were some delightful moments embedded in the day.
3. My daughters have been carefully tending their Christmas lists for about 3 months now (though I haven't seen an updated draft for a few weeks now...perhaps they've settled on a final copy?). I'm OK with this, actually. The whole thing stemmed from a conversation that included some variation of "I want to go to Chuck-E-Cheese!" and some answer sounding like "Put it on your Christmas list." That idea was immediately embraced, and the lists began. So we're learning that it's OK to plan ahead for things that we want but don't really need right now. And I appreciate having a $20 idea in mind for when someone texts me with the whole "What do the girls want...?" question. The lists expanded, of course, but bless their foodie hearts, the majority of the lists include such items as "bottle of honey" and "blueberry jam." That is my idea of the perfect Christmas list.
4. The boy showed me a site posting global teaching jobs last night with the words "I'll follow you..." hanging in the balance.
5. A set of foster parents that I've been working with gave me a bracelet with the message "Create a ripple" on it. I love it. So much.
6. I'm a BIG advocate of taking the time to remember any teachers associated with your children at the end of each semester, especially as they progress through school. Remember the high school biology teacher even though your kid struggled in her class. Remember the choir director that forced your kid to come in after school three times a week to practice for the Christmas program. Remember the gym teacher that made your kid run laps because he wouldn't stop talking. A simple note or (better yet) a few cookies is all that it takes and really does make an impression on that teacher, who is, coincidentally, a person giving your child time and attention throughout the day. AND, I also firmly believe that the note needs to come from your kid. Those are the best.
7. I have pulled out the flannel sheets and am relishing the ability to get into bed without writhing in agony of cold-sheet-syndrome.
8. I cannot keep my hands from drying out and cracking this winter. HELP.
9. We have made 4 batches of Christmas cookies so far and for no particular reason. They taste extra delightful. I can also still (somehow) fit in my clothes. Win-win.
10. All I want for Christmas is a pedicure. In fact, I don't really want anything for Christmas. And I'm going to get a pedicure soon anyway (desperately needed), so let's A + B to = Christmas.

Have you ever asked yourself this question? Why do you love me Lord? Out of all people why me? What is it about me Lord, that makes you love me so much?
I asked God this today and I was not prepared for the amount of emotions this would bring. Tears did not just come down my face, NO tears flooded down my face. I felt so many emotions at ones and with it no understanding why God would choose me!!!
And then God started to explain to me why I had gone through so much hardship in my last relationship and life. Let me take you onto this journey of a story that exceeds any kind of love we have ever experienced.
When I woke up this morning things were different, I did not follow my usual routine of greeting God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit first thing and thanking him for this day, 5 minutes of gospel music, 15 minutes reading bible and a daily devotional and seasoning my time with God with prayer. No this morning I greeted God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, then I read a daily devotional on an app I downloaded yesterday and then I continued preparing my kids for school. I remembered to pray in the car when we were doing bible study as usual every morning on our way to school/work. As I'm off today I decided to bring my kids to school and then go by the beach to spend time with God.
I sat in my car and at first not knowing what to pray, however then the Holy Spirit took over. I confessed my fear to God, a fear I have had for the past 2,5 years and has made me closed up towards any man that would even think of being interested in me.
For the past weeks my oldest daughter keeps telling me that this guy in church keeps watching me and passes by my side as much as possible. My daughter also pointed out to me that I show no interest and that she has asked herself why I reject the thought of even smiling with a man. She then continued with the question: if this is not me blocking any blessing God would want to sent my way? I thought about this and then just tucked it away with saying you must of read the signs wrong.
Then yesterday my 6 year old daughter nudged me and said mommy that man over there is watching you, needless to say the same man my oldest daughter has been telling me about all these weeks.
So today during my time with God I confessed to God that I'm scared of dating and getting married because I don't want to fall into my old life where I would make men I was in relationship with an Idol and place God on the shelve, for reference when needed. I cried and I told God that I don't ever want to place him on a shelve again but keep him as first love in my life. That I love and need God and that I'm scared that God would allow me to drift away again, like my old habit where I always left somebody before they could leave me. I told God that I would not want that with him, that I knew the Bible says that he would never leave us or forsake us and that I know his words are true but that I'm scared I would leave him and God allowing it would feel the same as him leaving me.
Deuteronomy 31:8 (NKJV) And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed."
I let God know that I'm scared of allowing somebody in my life as I'm not sure the old controlling Romy is gone, the Romy that would not trust a man, the Romy that would manipulate a man to do her will. And I let God know that I'm not sure if I would keep my priorities and responsibilities in order as I had failed to do so often in my past relationships…….. I cried as the sadness fludded my heart with all the grief and hurt I had caused to God, just thinking back on it made me feel so bad.
God then answered me and said: my princess pick up your bible and read: Isaiah 5:6 Which says: Isaiah 5:6 (KJV) And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
And I understood nothing of what God was trying to say to me, I thought he was pointing out that he was going to cut me off, take away his protection and his blessings. I also sat there thinking how this could maybe be about my job, in which things are a little Rocky right now.
It's amazing how good God truly knows us. I started to research the meaning of the verse and soon found out it should be read starting from verse 5:1. As I read the commentary on Isaiah 5:1-7 God spoke to me and showered me with his love. God brought me back to my last relationship 2,5 years ago with the father of my 2 kids and God showed me that in that relationship I had made this man my idol and had left God on the shelve, during this time God had not pruned me, had allowed thorns to grow and had taken away the rain from me. Well in a vineyard nothing can grow like this and this was exactly what happened in my life at that time. God had taken away the people that had always ministered to me and he had allowed me to let my own sinfull nature take over. I stopped going to church and God had taken away any of his blessings towards the fruits of the Spirit in my life. In short I was miserable and felt like waste, not much alive at all.
Reading Isaiah 5:1-6 made me discouraged for a little while, ugh the enemy sometimes knows how to do that, however God led me to continue read the explanation and I found joy when I read: However this is not the end of it, it's for God to turn a situation around – how amazing is that? 😊😂
God then led me back to reading Isaiah 5:7 in my bible which says: (NKJV)For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression; For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help.
And the "BUT BEHOLD, A CRY FOR HELP" is what spoke to me so much, because that had been me in that relationship. I had cried for months to God to get my out of that relationship, to allign my heart with God's heart. I then realized that God had never left me and that his plan for my life never changed. God changed his approach towards me when I had left his road -TO BRING ME RIGHT ON TRACK AGAIN, BACK ON HIS ROAD.
All the while when I thought that God had allowed me to move away from him, I did not move at all. To the contrary God had me right in the palm of his hands. God had changed his approach to bring me right back running towards his arms, that had been embracing me all this time eventhough I had left him – sitting on that shelve.
And I asked – why God? what is it about me that makes you love me so much? And God said: Romy it's not about you, it's about me. YOU ARE MY PRINCESS, MY DAUGHTER AND I LOVE YOU AS YOUR FATHER, I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH AND THAT WILL NEVER STOP!
God continued and said: My princess you have no need to fear, stay close to me and I will make sure that I prune you, take away any thorn from your mits and I will make it rain on you to grow you into the woman I need you to be. Because I know that you will use this to write about it for my glory and for the advancement of my kingdom. The same thing I knew that if I would give you a verse you did not understand that you would study it – seek and you will find – AMEN!
Matthew 7:7-8 (NKJV) Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
I don't know what the meaning of this guy in church (watching me) is, my daughter and her friend think that he is the one and that I'm his missing rib ( So romantic 😊). Well I don't know about all of that, however I do know this for sure: that I gave my life to God and that his will is best no matter what his will may be. I thank God for his perfect will to be done in my life, for HIS glory and the advancement of HIS kingdom – praise the Lord Almighty.
I hope this may help somebody. As I have informed before this journey with God is AMAZING, I never knew we could fall so deeply in love and be completely filled to the rim with the love of Jesus. I wish I had given my life to God when I was young, nevertheless God is always right on time.
Let me ask you, would you like to have a relationship with God like this? YES???? Okay Praise the Lord. Let's start with – Did you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour in your life? Let me tell you since I did life has been an amazing Journey – not easy but surely the best ever. Want to accept Jesus but don't know how? Write me, I would be happy to pray with you. email@example.com
This is only one of my many stories where God's love is so vibrant and so true. Feel free to read any of my stories – which matter of fact are truths of my life, not always easy to share but nothing short from real.
Remember God loves you much❤
Saludos, Romy Ras
Walk in Faith, Love life!
YES! Together we can make your passion, your vision, directing your desires into purpose.

By comparing this light output with that produced by known doses of radiation, the amount of radiation absorbed by the material may be found.
Most mineral materials, including the constituents of pottery, have the property of thermoluminescence (TL), where part of the energy from radioactive decay in and around the mineral is stored (in the form of trapped electrons) and later released as light upon strong heating (as the electrons are detrapped and combine with lattice ions).
Even though it is an Ancient Book, the Bible remains up -to-date and completely relevant for us today. It has survived the examination of critics, it is truly the world's greatest book! "All scripture is given by the inspiration of God and is profitable..." (II Timothy )Of course the Bible does include the writings of many different men spanning across time.
Looking at many other early writings for instance those in Babylon, Persia, Egypt and other early civilizations are composed of sheer nonsense and primitive superstition. The reason for the Bible's greatness lies in its unique authorship... It openly claims that each author wrote only as he was moved by the one divine author, the holy sprit. The Bible can be trusted in its history as well as its moral & spiritual teaching.
Egypt covers an area of approximately 1,001,450km2 (386,662 miles²) and is bordered by Israel and the Gaza Strip in the north-east; the Red Sea in the east; Sudan in the south; Libya in the west; and the Mediterranean Sea in the north. The age of the pottery, in principle, may then be determined by the relation Age = Accumulated dose / Dose per year Although conceptually straightforward, TL has proven to to be far from simple in practice. Should I be concerned about artificial irradiation? If the radioactivity of the pottery itself, and its surroundings, is measured, the dose rate, or annual increment of dose, may be computed.

Calcutta photoblog: Scenes we'd like to see
Going through my recently acquired Calcutta photo collection, this phrase, "Scenes we'd like to see", came to mind looking at some of the pictures. But my usage is more innocuous, and innocent. Simply nice scenes, interesting, revealing, telling stories.

Rama...thank you for showing us reality. Your images etch into our mind how life really is for a great many in India. I appreciate what you've shown.

I had started a photo blog with the help of my family in Kolkata and my wife's relatives in China some time back but have not updated it for a long time. Just wanted to share it with you.

From your pictures of Calcutta looks just like what it is portrayed in the western world - a city of unbelievable poverty, neglect, squalor and filth.
However one of my friends who was recently volunteering in the city told me that the city physically is not as bad as portrayed. However she did say that most of the middle class people were too uptight - thinking that they are India's cultural mantle holders and thinkers.
No wonder the city has to survive on western charity.

Hullo Anonymous, thanks for your visit and comment.
I have tried to address your observation in this new post:
Of course we see what we want to see, what we are. The same reality can be viewed very differently by two persons, based on who they are, where they come from, their make-up etc.
Regarding the city surviving on western charity - I think that is not quite correct. Of course a lot of charity tourists come to Calcutta, volunteer in Mother Teresa's establishments and so on. But that is an insignificant part of the city's life and resource flows. Such charity work also of course addresses the needs of the visitors as much as it does the needs of Calcutta's poor.
Currently, the UK govt's Dept of International Development (DFID) is (grant) funding a major poverty reduction project in municipal areas of metropolitan Calcutta. But that is also a small intervention in the context of the situation here, and its scale. Moreover, that project is also riddled with problems, largely owing to the failure of DFID. (I wrote about that in: http://cuckooscall.blogspot.com/2006/07/more-about-cpim.html)
Best, rama

All day Training - my swap card
Hi all. Well we are back to normality again and I will try once again to get back into the habit of posting a little something each day for you.
(In case you didn't know , I have had two weeks in the Caribbean and its been hard coming back to temperatures of below freezing when I have had a fortnight of average 29 degrees!!)
Here goes then....today I have been up to Leeds for an all day training event held by my SU mummy Julie. I took along my latest recruit, my sister-in-law, Chris, who signed up as a demo yesterday - Woo woo!!
We have had a fabulous day and it was great meeting up with all our SU family that we haven't seen for a while.
We had a little training, did a couple of super projects, including a lovely little bag which fellow Jem Chris demonstrated. We had a fab lunch - including cupcakes - of course! We did Card swaps on the theme of love and 6 of us did a Card Candy swap.
Here's my "Just for you" card swap which I did in black, white and red, using the
"I (heart) heart" stampset.
Come back tomorrow and I'll post my card candy swap.
Nice to be back!

So Many Ways to Look At It
An Australian point of view of America's presidential elections.
I still find it an odd experience to hear what other people think of my country, mostly because the things that get picked on aren't the ones I'd expect.
For example, Dan laughed at the big green checkmark which MSNBC put next to Obama's name when we was announced the winner last night. Big attention-grabbing visualizations are important!

United Future leader Peter Dunne says he is confident public support for his "income sharing" policy will force the Government to back it despite widespread criticism the scheme is expensive and poorly targeted.
Mr Dunne yesterday introduced legislation to give effect to his long-standing income sharing proposal that will allow couples with children under 18 to combine their income and then split it for tax purposes, reducing their overall tax bill.
The policy would see a family with one income earner on $50,000 a year receive a $1230 annual credit but a single income family earning $140,000 a year would be $9080 better off.
If the scheme was picked up by the estimated 310,000 families who would be eligible, it is expected to cost $450 million a year.
However in echoes of recent comments from Finance Minister Bill English, the proposal was widely panned as poorly targeted.
Labour MP Stuart Nash said his party would not support it as the scheme favoured wealthy parents over families that really needed extra support.
Greens co-leader Metiria Turei said there were fairer ways of spending half a billion dollars such as increasing childcare support, Working For Families and increasing benefits.
Prime Minister John Key yesterday said he recognised how important the proposal was to Mr Dunne, and his Government would give it "a fair run" by supporting it to the select committee stage. However in pointing to its potential problems Mr Key suggested support beyond that point was uncertain.
"With the Government's finances remaining constrained there is a very high bar for tax changes that cost the Government money, but we'll reserve final judgment until the select committee process has run its course."
Also the proposal, "works really well for some couples and not so well for others". Furthermore, the Government's package of tax cuts which takes effect in several weeks, "did address some of the issues income splitting would pick up".
But citing a New Zealand Herald online poll which showed support for the policy running at about 80 per cent yesterday, Mr Dunne said the Government would face "a big challenge" if it decided not to back it.
"I'm confident that there are enough New Zealanders out there that want this that they will send that message loudly and clearly to politicians."
Mr Dunne said the bill was about "recognising the fact that both parents contribute to the upbringing of their children, some financially and some through their care in the home."
* Makes it easier for one parent to stay at home as a full-time caregiver.
* Provides support to upper middle-income families who may not qualify for Working for Families.
* Favours those on higher incomes.
* Cost up to $450 million yearly.
* Couples where both partners work and receive similar income would receive little or nothing.
* Single parent families don't qualify.
How much would you get?
* A family with one income of $30,000 would receive a credit of $980 a year.
* A family with one income of $140,000 would receive $9080.
* A family with two incomes, one of $60,000 and the other $30,000, would receive a credit of $1500.
United Future leader Peter Dunne says he is confident public support for his "income sharing" policy will force the Government to back it despite widespread criticism the scheme is expensive and poorly targeted.

Europe & Russia Economic overview
May 2017
France has elected Emmanuel Macron as its president, while in the UK a general election is approaching.
The uncertainty surrounding France's future support of the EU has diminished following Macron's election. However, whether his premiership is successful will depend partly on reforms to the EU, which could present challenges. France's GDP growth is forecast to improve to 1.4% in 2017 from 1.2% in 2016. Further increases are expected for 2018, with GDP growth forecast to be around 1.7%. The country's growth has supported a year-on-year rise...

Can A "Speedy" Trial Really Take Five Years?
Sure. Sometimes more.
A New York jury acquitted the man accused of bombing U.S. Embassies in Nairobi and Tanzania on all but one of 285 counts against him on Wednesday. While the verdict is a stinging defeat for the Obama administration, the judge made several decisions in the case of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani that the government will find useful in future trials of Guantanamo detainees. For example, the judge ruled that holding the defendant in detention for five years without trying him did not violate his right to a speedy trial. How can five years be "speedy"?
Because the holdup didn't affect the defense's case. The Sixth Amendment states that, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial." Like most constitutional provisions, however, the right isn't nearly as absolute as it sounds. If either the government or the defendant requests a delay, there's usually very little the other side can do about it—so long as the trial's outcome doesn't hang in the balance. Ghailani's judge ruled that national security justified the first two years of his detention, during which time the CIA was pumping him for information. Even though the government continued to hold him for three more years after that, the wait didn't offer prosecutors any advantage at trial. All the witnesses and evidence that were available to Ghailani in 2004 were still available when his trial started.
The right to a speedy trial is one of the most venerable traditions in Anglo-American law, going all the way back to the Magna Carta of 1215 ("to no one will we refuse or delay, right or justice"). However, at no time in the last 800 years has anyone been able to quantify exactly how speedy is speedy. The American Bar Association insists that six months should be the upward limit unless there's a really good reason for extending the deadline. But no one has managed to bring a judge or state legislature around to that point of view. The Supreme Court, for its part, has offered a vague balancing test of harm against justification: That is, if a lengthy pretrial prison stay harms the defendant unjustifiably, the judge may consider dropping the indictment. In the absence of any firm rules, judges usually find a way to explain away delays, since they hate the idea of releasing dangerous criminals just because of dawdling prosecutors. The most common justification is so-called "lack of prejudice"—that is, the accused fails to show that the holdup could undermine his defense.
A five-year delay isn't actually all that extraordinary. In Barker v. Wingo, one of the seminal Supreme Court cases on this topic, the government held the defendant for that long and didn't even have a national security excuse. The prosecutors wanted to try Barker's accomplice before him, but it took six trials thanks to hung juries and appeals. Then, when Barker's trial was finally scheduled, one of the government's key witnesses was too sick to testify. The Supreme Court ruled that the postponements were OK, since the defendant waited for three years to start complaining, suggesting that he was OK with situation. And, as with the other examples cited here, the delay didn't affect the trial.
Judges do occasionally come down on prosecutors for stalling. In Klopfer v. North Carolina, the state announced that they were declining to prosecute a Quaker who had resisted segregation in the near future, but reserved the right to restart the prosecution at a later date. Because the prosecutor seemed primarily interested in tormenting Klopfer with the ever-present possibility of a trial, the Supreme Court terminated the case.
Most trial delays are at least in part the defendant's fault. Defense attorneys repeatedly ask for continuances to review evidence and interview experts. In the meantime, the prosecution's witnesses might die, memories become hazy, and public furor over the case dissipates. Celebrity trials are notoriously lengthy affairs, since wealthy defendants have the cash to pay their attorneys to spend months or years investigating minutiae. R. Kelly's lawyers, for example, managed to put off his molestation trial for six years before securing his acquittal.

Here Is The News.....
I recently replied to an interesting post over at Rachel Joyce's blog about the business of news.
News is a business and it's about winning the ratings war. That being the case newsvendors have to present stories in a way that they think are likely to attract more viewers. Therefore unsurprisingly extremes are the order of the day. the fact is Good news is bad news.
Rachel uses Andrew Marr as an example of a biased reporter, he is well known as a left leaning luvvie. In fact Marr and people like him are not about 'news' they are about comment. In fact much of what is presented as news is in fact comment and by definition it will always, or almost anyway, be biased one way or another.
There's a third element to the business of reporting and that's the expert. He is usually someone recently retired from a particular profession who is brought in to give 'insight'. Now there's no guarantee that he necessarily has knowledge of a particular scenario but that's not going to stop him spouting forth. The next phase is the follow-up expert, who may well have a different opinion from the first one and so the debate then shifts to which expert is more correct. Experts on different channels offer different expert opinions and before long the news is not reporting the news it's reporting on the opinion of the expert talking about the news. Confused? Well, that's exactly what the news is all about.
And of course tomorrow it starts all over again.
I have a book coming out in July called 'Here is The News', it's all about the BBC and news reporting in the Second World War. Two things that might surprise you. The first broadcast news of the day was not until 6 p.m. as before that the news was reserved for the newspapers. There was an agreement between the newspaper proprietors and the BBC, which allowed this. Before the Second World War on at least one occasion when the BBC newsreader came on the wireless he said (of course it was always a he back then, who an earth would believe a woman?). "Here is the news; there is no news." With that the bulletin ended.
When I was adding the link to Amazon I've just seen that they've 'paired' my book with Andrew Marr's book on Britain. Must be because someone who ordered 'Here is the News' bought Mr. Marr's book too!

Pain. That is what I'm feeling right now. That is what I DON'T want to feel right now.
Back sometime in April I think, we learned my Grandfather had Alzheimer's and Lung Cancer. Tonight I am told the cancer has spread. If we're lucky, we have 6 more months with him.
I don't know why I'm so shocked. He hasn't been treating the cancer. I guess I just didn't want to deal with it. I wanted to believe we had more time. I wanted.... more. I'm not ready for this. I don't think any of us are.
He gave me away at me wedding. I remember standing outside the doors to the sanctuary, just me and him. He told me how beautiful I was. He told me how proud of me he was. He told me I had a good man.
I remember going to the Redskins game with him and splitting my fries with him on the way home.
I remember doing all my middle school projects on him.
I can remember riding bikes around my neighborhood and stopping in say hi.
I love watching him at family gatherings. He looks around and smiles, and just takes it all in. He loves family.
Since I can remember, he and my grandmother have lived closed by. As a child they lived in my neighborhood for a bit. I would pass their house to and from my way to school. And when they moved from there, they were only 15 minutes or so away.
When my father died, he helped us get our home ready to sell. He also made me a key chain he carved out of wood. It said RALPH. My dad's name. And it was stained dark cherry. It was beautiful.
When my sisters and cousins and I were all very young, he would read us "The Night Before Christmas" every Christmas. We don't do that anymore, but we still sing quite a few Christmas Carols. He lights up when we do. He always has.
When we moved to another state after my father died, it wasn't long before they moved too. Again, into our neighborhood. All my life (for the most part) I don't think they have lived more than 15 minutes or so from me.
He loves celery. He has a bowl after his dinner. I use steal pieces from him. lol Only, he knew I did it. After a while, he just started giving pieces to me.
When I got engaged, he and my grandmother were the first people, outside of my mother, we told. We told them before we even told anyone in my husband's family.
When I was told this news, I thought I was going to throw up. I am just not ready for this. I'm not ready to say goodbye to another family member. Especially him. We just buried my husband's grandfather in September. He too was an amazing man.
My thoughts went to my grandmother. How strong she's been through all of this. I can't imagine her pain right now. And there are also on my mom and her sisters. My mom has lost her husband. Two of my aunts have lost sons. Now we all get say goodbye to their dad. I don't want to do this! I know I sound like a spoiled brat right now, but I don't care. I am not ready to say goodbye yet. None of us are.
From what I am told, best prognosis, 6 or so months. But, without giving his personal information and condition away, the cold hard truth is, he probably won't make it that long.
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO thankful that our ENTIRE family will be here for Christmas. Family from PA and VA. And even family from Germany. This is, without a doubt, our last Christmas with him. I'm so thankful, he gets to spend it with us all. Not everyone gets that kind of privilege. He will.
I'm also thankful, I suppose, that it's the cancer taking him, and not his Alzheimer's. He will be able (God willing) to say all his goodbyes to those he loves. And all those that love him won't have to suffer with him not knowing them. I suppose this is a bit selfish of me. But it is what it is.
I pray for strength for my grandmother, mom, and aunts. I pray peace over them and my grandfather. I pray he goes quietly in his sleep, when the time comes. I pray this is a Christmas we'll always remember.
