Mohammed Emwazi, a 27-year-old, from Queen's Park, is said to be the IS executioner who has appeared in a series of disturbing videos of the beheading of British and American hostages. In each video, he is mainly dressed in black head to toe, a balaclava covering all but his eyes and the ridge of his nose.
The masked Islamic State killer known as 'Jihadi John' was identified and named as a computer-programming graduate from west London.
Research director of a British human rights group Cage, Asim Qureshi, had contact with Emwazi before he left for Syria. Qureshi confirmed that the man in the videos was Jihadi John. Asim Qureshi commented, when talking with the Washington Post: "There was an extremely strong resemblance. This is making me feel fairly certain that this is the same person."
It is reported that the radical extremist was known to the British security services and was detained, fingerprinted and questioned at a London airport by counter terrorist officials. The Intelligence Community has not confirmed this, neither have they commented on this claim.
'Jihadi John' has featured in the execution videos of British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, as well as the murders of American and Syrian captives and Japanese journalist Kenji Goto.
Intelligence agencies have used voice analysis and interviews with former hostages to try to identify the executor. The FBI chief James B. Comey confirmed their success in September. This confirmation came only a month after the Briton was seen in a video killing American journalist James Foley.
Kuwaiti-born Emwazi is reported as a "a Briton from a well-to-do family." Raised in a middle-class neighborhood in London, Emwazi occasionally prayed at a mosque in Greenwich.
Emwazi decided to move to his birthplace, Kuwait, where he found employment working for a computer company. This information was extracted from the e-mails he wrote to Qureshi. He came back to London twice, the second time to organise his wedding plans to a woman back home in Kuwait.
"I had a job waiting for me and marriage to get started," he wrote in an email to Qureshi, in June 2010, he furthered by expressing "I feel like a prisoner, only not in a cage, in London. A person imprisoned & controlled by security service men, stopping me from living my new life in my birthplace and country, Kuwait."
This news comes in the wake of the disappearance of three British teenage girls who have also allegedly left to join the terrorist group; IS.

Continental announces more job cuts (6:41 PM ET) Continental Airlines said Wednesday it will cut 1,200 more jobs by year's end. The airline also disclosed it has already moved to trim 25 percent of its senior managers this week. "We need $500 million in annual cost savings and revenue generation to permit us to be a survivor during the worst financial crisis in aviation history," said Chairman and CEO Gordon Bethune. A drawn out war would mean more savings are needed. Specifically, the airline hopes to use voluntary cuts and attrition for the 125 pilots, 500 reservation agents, 350 airport agents and 225 workers from other areas of the company. Shares CAL, -6.81% ended the day down 5 cents to $5.20.

By Sarah Kitteringham
CALGARY – In their five decades as an active band, Uriah Heep has left a colossal mark on rock 'n' roll. Infused with a Tolkien leaning mysticism at their onset, and musically marked by wah-wah pedal suffused guitar, soaring quasi-operatic vocals, jaunty keyboards and an unmistakably positive vibe, the band's survival was hard earned and is cherished by both its members and fans.
After numerous studio albums, over 40 million album sales and the cycling through of over 20 members, band leader and guitarist Mick Box is still going strong with a stable line-up that is currently on a world tour celebrating those fruitful early years. Subsequently, this current tour is primarily focused on the 1970-1973 period when the band produced six full-length records and a cache of timeless hits. This whirlwind was kicked off when Box formed the band that would become Uriah Heep as a 19-year-old in Brentwood, Essex. He was eventually joined by keyboardist, synth player, guitarist and vocalist Ken Hensley (writer or co-writer of many of the bands hits) and lead vocalist David Byron.
"It was a really interesting time because in those days, you signed an album deal for four, five, six albums. And you grew with the label; the label grew with you, which is very much unlike today!" begins Box, an affable Brit with a charming accent.
"Because of that, it nurtured the music and allowed the music to speak its own voice," he says. "I think that's why we were able to make good songs that stood the test of time and people love hearing them in a live arena."
Indeed, the Toronto show where the interview was conducted was packed with a devoted cross-generational crowd that included one middle-aged American mother and 20-year-old son; the rabid fan had named her child Uriah.
They were only two amidst a raucous audience that collectively belted out every word to classic hits like "July Morning," "Easy Livin,'" "Look At Yourself," "The Magician's Birthday," "Rainbow Demon," and more.
These early discography songs are notably marked by their infusion of J.R.R Tolkien [of Lord of the Rings fame] themes, a focus that quickly evaporated as more bands took up the same mantle. This changed coincided with the tumultuous 'Heep being concerned about their own relevancy.
"I think because The Magician's Birthday (1972) was recorded very quickly and we almost exhausted ourselves doing it within one year. We felt going to our next album, we should probably leave it behind, simply because of that: we were exhausted by it," explains Box. This occurred after the prolific period that saw five albums released in three years, including their 1970 debut …Very 'Eavy … Very 'Umble, 1971 albums Salisbury and Look at Yourself, then 1972's Demons and Wizards, which was followed by The Magician's Birthday. The shift came with 1973's Sweet Freedom.
"If you continue with it, you can end up being quite cliché as well, because the inspiration for those things was from Lord of the Rings… and we didn't want to fall into that trap."
He continues, "Many bands went on and copied us. [Power metal band] Blind Guardian in Germany, and they're quite honest and heart on their sleeve about that, but we kind of kickstarted them in that way of thinking… We found a mystical way of doing it that captured the imagination."
It's hardly surprising that Heep's experience in the '70s was marked by struggle: critical reception buoyed and plunged as the band released a total of 12 studio albums that shifted with musical trends. Coupled with high turnover and tumultuousness as the members dealt with infighting over royalties, car crashes, and a heroin overdose, it's a miracle that they emerged from the decade in any form. Sadly, vocalist Byron was fired from the band in 1976 due to alcoholism; he passed away in 1985. Hensley left the band in 1980 due to their differing musical direction; the relationship was a business one that never quite fit, according to Box.
"In terms of writing, Ken would bring along the barest bones things on acoustic guitar, and the band would make it epic. It was a lot of debt to the band to make those songs big classic songs everyone loves and shouts for," says Box during a serious moment.
Uriah Heep's songwriting credits have long been a subject of discussion given their turnover rate.
"As a person, he was never a team player. He was always out for Ken. It's the only way I can explain it to be honest."
Box continues, "Ken almost created his own situations… There would be a dressing room just for him. But then he'd come into our dressing room and be one of the boys, but imagine how that went down. So there was many stories where you get into a bit of fun with him…."
The remainder of the members would end up playing pranks on their bandmate.
"We had sewn up the bottom of his trousers. So he's hopping around the room trying to pull up his trousers. So he set himself up. Even the crew. Two of the members would come in and 'where's Ken's room!?'
"'It's over there!'"
"And then they'd go in and put a bomb in the light switch. BANG!"
Despite the trauma (and the hijinks), Uriah Heep endured throughout the '80s and '90s and continues well on to current day with a prolific release schedule. It begs the question of whether they've grown bored of those early hits that define them.
"It's easy to get bored with any of those songs, but the short term answer is that the audience keeps you alive every time," counters Box.
"The minute you start the intro, and the fists go in the air, you're energized, and you're in that moment again. And the great thing is you get people saying that about "Gypsy" [the band's debut single from 1970] and the song is twice as old as the guy yelling it!"
The most striking element of "Gypsy" is its variance: funky guitar rhythms, pounding synchronization, jazzy drums, and jarring keyboards transition effortlessly alongside striking vocals. It's representative of a band that seamlessly integrates rock, progressive, psychedelic and classical elements.
"In school, that's what you're taught," recalls Box.
"You weren't taught pop or rock songs, you were taught classical so you tend to get an appreciation for it. I think the most things I get out of classical music is the dynamics of it all. One moment you've got your headphones on and you're drifting off this beautiful bit and then the timpani and cymbal comes in and makes you jump."
He shouts the word, laughing.
"Oh yeah, yeah. That's what we try and do with our music."
The band has maintained that style in recent releases; live, they sound strikingly energetic and utterly fantastic. Now composed of Box and longtime band members Bernie Shaw on vocals and Phil Lanzon of keyboards, the old-timers are joined by Russell Gilbrook on drums and bassist Davey Rimmer. Their last studio offering was 2014's Outsider; it will be followed up this year with the band's 25th full-length offering that is appropriately titled Living the Dream.
"We recorded the whole thing in 19 days…. It'll be released in September. It's very rock, and very up-tempo, with some ballads," reveals Box.
"We just got the trademarks right way back in 1970 and we apply them to every song we write. Sometimes we have an alright song and when Heep get hold of it and apply the trademarks, it becomes Heep in two seconds!"
Uriah Heep perform on April 30 at Union Hall (Edmonton) and on May 1 at the Palace Theatre (Calgary).Palace Theatre, Union Hall, Uriah Heep

What Is the Difference Between Guilt and Shame?
Guilt and shame often travel together but they are far from identical twins
Posted Jun 12, 2014
How can we disentangle the emotions of guilt and shame?
Here are two distinctions that can help:
1. The Public/Private Distinction
Sometimes it seems that people need to be caught doing something wrong before they really feel bad about what they done.
Think of philandering politicians who continue their affairs in private and, only when discovered, do they appear to feel suitably bad.
This is troubling for a well-functioning society because it means that moral norms are insufficiently internalized.
Which emotion, guilt or shame, seems underdeveloped in these cases?
Guilt is the "painful feeling of self-reproach resulting from a belief that one has done something wrong or immoral" (Webster's new world dictionary, 1982).
Shame is the "painful feeling of having lost the respect of others because of the improper behavior, incompetence, etc. of oneself or another"(Webster's new world dictionary, 1982).
Guilt seems the better answer to this question because it is not dependent on others knowing about one's wrongdoing for it to arise.
It doesn't take a Raskolnikov to realize that guilt is extremely important human emotion. In a way, it serves as emotional proof that we have a robust conscience. Would our conscience actually guide our moral behavior if we did not expect to feel guilty when failing to do the right thing?
Now suppose someone fails to feel bad even when a wrongdoing is made public?
Shame would be underdeveloped in this case because, by definition, it appears linked to public evaluation.
It is also an extremely important human emotion.
Our capacity to feel shame surely keeps most us following moral norms when we have any sense that failing to do so will be public knowledge --- even when our guilt feelings are feeble.
And so, guilt arises in us when we feel bad about what we've done regardless of whether anyone knows about it.
Shame typically arises when our wrongdoings are known to others. Indeed, we can be "shamed" into feeling bad when, prior to the exposure, we were little troubled by what we had done wrong.
2. The Role of the Self
This public/private distinction between guilt and shame is a perhaps the most long-standing one, but it is not the whole story. There is at least one other important distinction to consider that complicates the picture considerably. It explains, for example, why shame can also arise in private situations.
Guilt and shame often differ in the relative role that the self plays in each.
Both guilt and shame involve some degree of negative self-evaluation, but with guilt, the self is usually not the central focus, whereas with shame the self is usually the central focus.
The politician feeling guilty says that he BETRAYED his wife.
The politician feeling shame says that HE betrayed his wife.
And so, even in a private situation, we can feel intense shame, if the self is strongly implicated by the wrongdoing (some psychologists call this "internal" shame to differentiate it from shame more directly caused by public exposure, or, "external" shame)
This distinction helps explain why shame is often a more aversive and intractable emotion than is guilt. It's not fun to think oneself flawed, inferior, and defective, and the negative consequences of this view of the self can be huge.
This distinction also helps explains why shame, very much less than guilt, can be linked with a nonmoral, inferior attribute. We can feel ashamed because of a physical defect over which we have no control, but feel little guilt over it (precisely because of having no control). Furthermore, the public exposure of the defect heightens our shame, but not our guilt.
In sum, what is the difference between guilt and shame?
Guilt is the painful feeling of self-reproach resulting from a belief that one has done something wrong or immoral. It occurs regardless of whether others know about one's wrongdoing. Although guilt is linked with a negative self evaluation (after all, it is the self that has done something wrong), the central focus of the feeling, typically, is on the wrong behavior not on the bad self linked with the behavior.
Shame arises in at least two forms. "External" shame is the painful feeling of having lost the respect of others because of the improper behavior, incompetence, etc. of oneself or another. It is very much connected with the public exposure of one's wrongdoing (or, inferior attribute). External shame is associated with terms such as "disgraced" and "humiliated." External shame is probably the most familiar, traditional way we think about shame.
However, the second form of shame, or, "Internal" shame, is less dependent on public exposure. Indeed, internal shame speaks to the tendency for shame to be closely linked to a negative self evaluation, without regard to explicit public exposure. The central focus on internal shame is on a defective, flawed self and this perception drives the feeling.

July 2015
Back in 2010, on a gloriously sunny afternoon on Savile Row in central London, two flocks comprising sixty sheep grazed on natural pasture, tended by their shepherd 'Ben', his two well trained sheepdogs and an extremely stylishly dressed farmer by the name of Harry Parker.
It was the official launch of The Campaign for Wool's first ever 'Wool Week', which aims to promote wool as a precious natural, renewable and biodegradable resource that offers many technical and ecological benefits. Himself a committed environmentalist, HRH The Prince of Wales is the Global Patron of The Campaign for Wool.
Having sheep on Savile Row was a fantastic opportunity to illustrate the high quality of this wonderful natural product and the wool industry's high level environmental credentials and they are due to return on Monday 5th October 2015.
If you would like to join us in Savile Row on Monday 5th October 2015, please contact email@example.com to request an invitation for this special, extraordinary and somewhat unusual daytime event.

Founding your startup can be hard and challenging. Exhausting and time-consuming. The biggest reason why startups very often isn't a bad idea. It's a lack of knowledge and experience. That's the reason why we have created a list of the best free tools you can use to manage and grow your startup.
The startups fail mostly because their foundation is crushed down. Foundation of your startup can be two things:
- Business Model
- Team
If either of these foundations fails, your startup will in the most cases fail too.
But what are the biggest reasons why will your business model fail?
I started my journey when I was seventeen. I was so lucky that I had a great mentor. The biggest lesson I learned from him is:
"Time and money are equally important resources."
This is mindblowing!
If you have time, but no money, you will don't go so far. Also, if you have money but no time, you will also fail very fast.
This is the reason why we have created an ultimate list of the [number] best free tools which will help you to manage and scale your startup.
We will start from the beginning and the first tools which will we mention will help you to organize your team and yourself better.
Organization tools
Organization tools help us to plan better and be flexible. With great planning skills, we will never forget some task or pass the deadline.
1. Google Docs
Google docs are one of the best tools for your work. Personally, in the previous few months, I saw a significant amount of people who are using Google Docs instead of Microsoft Office.
Before all, the reasons for this are:
- Access everywhere on any device
- Multi-user editing, writing and commenting
- Free to use with your Gmail account
Google Docs are good for your everyday writing and planning your marketing, sales and business.
For your tables, data, lead generation, etc. – you can use Google Sheets. For your presentations, Google Slides will work very, very fine!
2. Trello
Trello is a great tool for planning your and your team's workflow. They have a "free forever" plan, which will satisfy your needs very good at the beginning.
Trello is mainly used for task planning and scheduling your workflow. It's mainly based on a KanBan methodology, which means that you can create boards and items/cards inside of them. Later, you can move your items from one column to another one.
In Trello's free plan, you can invite as many team members as you want.
Trello will help you to schedule your tasks better, never forgot some assignment and monitor your teams' responsibilities.
3. Evernote
Easily, Evernote can become your best friend. It's a note-taking tool.
With Evernote, you can easily see all your notes on all of your devices. You can write notes wherever and whenever you are.
Evernote has a lifetime free account, which will be enough at the beginning. With your free Evernote account, you can sort and filter all of your notes, so you can later easily find what you need.
4. Calendly
Calendly allows you to easily schedule all of your meetings and appointments.
Just create your calendar with your free time, share the link with your prospects or business partners, and they will choose which time suits them best!
5. Slack
Slack is a free communication tool. It allows you to communicate with your team in private channels, and channels with different topics.
You can invite as many people as you want, and you can create whatever topics you want.
6. Dropbox
I supposed everyone heard about Dropbox, so there is no big need to explain what's its' main purpose.
Dropbox allows you to share files among your team members within seconds. You can access all of your files both from your computers or mobile phones.
Everything you need to do is to just drag your file in your Dropbox desktop folder, and all of your team members will see it!
Tools for Business Growth
If you want to build an enduring business, you will need to grow. Every month, you should see at least a few percents in your income growth. Here are a few ways how can you grow your business:
- With excellent Customer Development.
- Understanding your customers' behaviours.
- With offering a great service
- Providing Value
- Better sales
So, here are a few tools which can help you to grow your business:
1. Typeform
Typeform is a great tool for your customer development. With Typeform, you can create amazing and engaging customer surveys with cutting-edge design.
Typeform will help you to get attractive and valuable data about your customers':
– Satisfaction
– Behaviours
– Problems
– Needs
– Your product feature and improvement ideas
2. ConvertFox
ConvertFox is a free customer messaging platform. With ConvertFox, you can see all the data about your customers (for example: when was the last time they have used your product).
You can use your customers' data to segment your customers by the following rules:
– Paying customers
– Active trial customers
– Customers who finished their trial but didn't continue with a paid plan
– Customers who just signed up for their trial, but never used it,
– And a list goes on and on.
ConvertFox will also help you with communicating with your customers.
Their free plan supports 500 customers, which is very enough if you are at the beginning.
3. Agile CRM
Agile CRM is suitable for small and medium business. With their free plan, you can have up to 50 000 contacts and companies in your database!
Agile CRM allows you to plan your sales, track and gather your prospects, and, best of all, to see who is actually a hot lead and who is not!
Agile CRM is a great software for you since its' free plan has everything you need when you are at the beginning.
4. Poptin
Poptin allows you to easily convert your website visitors into leads and customers.
To set up your Poptin account, you need a few minutes. After that, Poptin will show your website visitors appropriate messages into right time!
For example, if you have an e-commerce shop and your website visitor is just about to leave your check-out page, Poptin will show them a message with 20% discount on the item they are interested in.
5. Freshdesk
Ah, we all hate customer support, but in business, it's very important. Great Customer Support is what makes a good business. Very often, companies are using Customer Support as their competitive advantages.
Freshdesk is one of the best customers supports helpdesks out there. It's super simple to answer questions and half of the processes are automatic.
In Its' free forever plan, you will have everything you need till you don't scale your startup!
5. Grammarly
If you are planning to write content, then you can't write it without a Grammarly.
No matter how good your English knowledge is, Grammarly must be an inevitable part of your daily routine (I'm using it right now).
Grammarly will point on your mistakes and make its' suggestions to correct them. It will improve your English knowledge. At least, it doesn't let you look like a fool. 🙂
The most important free tool you will surely need.
All the tools I have mentioned above are very good for your business. If you want to scale your company, then you will probably need to use them.
But there is one tool which is most important of all of them.
It's your attitude.
Your attitude is what can make you either successful or not.
Work hard and always have hope.

Nuremberg, November 30, 2016 – In the run up to Christmas, it is comforting to know that habits of generosity are still strong. Results just released by GfK show that, amongst the online population across 17 countries, four out of ten people help others or do volunteer work at least once a month or more. This is made up of four percent who help others 'every or most days', 14 percent who do so 'at least once a week' and 21 percent who help others 'at least once a month'.
The results for men versus women in the GfK survey were very even across each category. However, men are slightly more likely than women to say they help others at least once a week – standing at 15 percent for men and 13 percent for women. And a quarter of women (25 percent) class themselves as never helping others or doing volunteer work, compared to 23 percent of men.
Similarly, the findings across different age groups were fairly even. However, those aged 20-29 years old are slightly more likely than the other age groups to help others daily (6 percent) and monthly (24 percent), while they come level with teenagers (15-19 year olds) for helping others at least once a week (17 percent).
Mexico, USA and Netherlands in the lead for helping monthly or more, followed by China, Brazil and Germany
Of the countries surveyed, Mexico comes out as having the highest percentage of online population who are regular volunteers. Looking at those who say they help others or do volunteer work monthly, weekly or daily, almost half of Mexicans (49 percent) fall into this category, followed by Americans at 46 percent and the Dutch at 45 percent. China, Brazil and Germany are also above the international average (39 percent) for this, standing at 44 percent, 43 percent and 40 percent respectively.
The countries where people appear less volunteer-minded are South Korea, Japan and France, where 52 percent, 45 percent and 38 percent respectively class themselves as never helping others or doing volunteer work.
These findings give national and global charities valuable insight into which audiences within each country may be most receptive to requests for volunteers – especially when combined with GfK data on people's personal values and behaviors across different countries, genders and age groups.
To download full findings for each of the 17 countries, please visit www.gfk.com/global-studies/global-study-overview/
About the study
The survey question asked, 'Please indicate how often you do the following activity: Help others/volunteer work'. Possible answers were: Every day or most days / At least once a week / At least once a month / Less often / Never.
GfK conducted the online survey with over 22,000 consumers aged 15 or older across 17 countries. Fieldwork was completed in summer 2016. Data are weighted to reflect the demographic composition of the online population aged 15+ in each market. Countries covered are Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Russia, South Korea, Spain, UK and USA.

MOUNT OLIVE, IL (KTVI)-A Macoupin County Sheriff's deputy shot and wounded a man who pointed a gun at the deputy late Thursday night in Mount Olive, IL. According to the Sheriff's Department, deputies were called to a home on Route 138 for a "well-being check" on an elderly woman who lived there around 9:00pm.
When deputies arrived around 9:30pm, a man came to the door with a rifle. The officers identified themselves as Macoupin County Deputies, but the man, identified as 30-year-old Brett Foster, came out of the house with the rifle and pointed it at one of the deputies. He then refused the deputies' orders to drop the rifle.
The other deputy then shot the Foster, who was then rushed to a hospital for treatment. His wounds are non-life threatening. Neither deputies were hurt.
On Friday, Foster was charged with Aggravated Assault by the Macoupin County State's Attorney Office and is being held at the Macoupin County Sheriff's Department.

What is the police involvement with the cull?
The badger cull is a DEFRA managed issue under licence from Natural England and it will be up to the operating companies to decide when it takes place under the terms of their licence. Our role is to provide a police response that is neutral and independent of any cull. We will be impartial, even-handed and fair to everyone, whatever their views, interest or involvement in the pilot scheme. We will work with those who wish to exercise their human rights to oppose the cull through peaceful and lawful protest and those undertaking the cull to enable them to carry out a lawful activity.
We will also mediate - when appropriate - with parties involved in protest issues, promote crime prevention and reduction, respond to assessed threats and evaluate any emerging risks, deal with firearms licensing issues required in law and be fair but firm and respond to any breach of the peace under common law. In the event of a major incident, we will coordinate a response with other agencies in line with civil contingency legislation and practice. We also have a responsibility to investigate any party for breaches of criminal law in a way that is proportionate, necessary and accountable.
How will the police assist people seeking to oppose the cull?
Those licensed to cull badgers will be doing so legitimately, under a licence with strict conditions in place. They should be allowed to undertake lawful activity without fear of harm or intimidation. However, we have a role in enabling peaceful and lawful protest and are committed to working with any groups or individuals who want to exercise their right to do so. These freedoms are enshrined in Human Rights law but they are qualified and restrictions can be imposed in certain situations.
We would like to talk openly with any groups or individuals who wish to protest to ensure actions taken are lawful.
Do the public have a right to know where the cull will be taking place?
Information about the locations of the cull does not belong to the police so we are not in a position to share it with any third party. It is for the operating companies to determine where and when any cull starts and for them to consider whether they disclose this information.
How will you communicate around and during policing the cull?
We want to communicate with everyone, including those interested or involved in the cull. We would like to talk openly with all willing parties, whatever their views, interest or involvement with the cull so that there are no surprises about police activity. That means local communities, specific groups or individuals and the media.
We will also make efforts to reach people not interested in engaging directly with us. We will use a range of channels, including the Staffordshire Police website, meetings, news releases and social media. However, we will only comment on policing matters.
Is it true that the weapons used could mean that bullets used will travel a considerable distance past their target?
Although there is public concern about the use of such weapons, they are in the hands of people who are experienced in their use and are being used in our countryside on a daily basis. We have no reason to believe that there is or will be any greater risk to the public than at any other time.
What offences could anyone opposing the cull potentially commit?
It depends on their actions. We would prefer that people protest peacefully and lawfully so they don't commit any offences. However, if people go onto private land they are trespassing. If they trespass with the intention of preventing any lawful activity taking place there, they may be guilty of aggravated trespass. Potentially, there are also offences of harassment and intimidation of people conducting a lawful activity, a host of wildlife crimes ranging from disturbing badgers to damaging Sites of Special Scientific Interest, as well as public order offences.
How do we oppose the cull but avoid breaking the law?
You have a right to protest as long as it is peaceful. By talking openly with us at an early stage, we can help you to understand what is and what isn't acceptable. We are here to help but we also have the duty to protect, hence the need for us to engage and work with everyone.
What about those in favour of the cull?
We have a responsibility to investigate any party for breaches of criminal law in a way that is proportionate, necessary and accountable.
How are people undertaking the cull going to be policed to ensure they operate within the constraints of their licences?
DEFRA will be monitoring delivery of the cull and sending observers to watch activities. Actions taken against badgers outside the remit of the licence could constitute a wildlife crime, which the police will, of course, investigate.
What about illegal culling, are you turning a blind eye to that?
Any interference with setts, killing, or attempted killing of badgers without a licence is illegal and unacceptable. If anyone has evidence of that happening, they are encouraged to report this to the local Police Wildlife Crime Officer. Every Police force has officers working in this specialist role. The UK National Wildlife Crime Unitis a police unit that works closely with all police forces across the UK. Through its website it can assist putting you in contact with your local officer.
How can I complain about the cull taking place in Staffordshire?
You can find information about the Bovine TB and badger control policy on the DEFRA website.
You can contact DEFRA by email to email@example.com or write to:
Nobel House
17 Smith Square
Will you be closing roads or footpaths during the badger cull?
We would only close roads in an emergency situation or if there was a risk to public safety. This power falls under the Road Traffic Act. We do not have the power to close a footpath except in an emergency situation or if there was a risk to public safety. Footpath closures and diversions are authorised and managed by the Highways Department of the local authority.
Will I get arrested if I park in a certain area during the cull?
Parking enforcement in Staffordshire is the responsibility of the local authority. Further details are available through all the council websites. Parking obstruction offences are still enforced by police. Depending upon the circumstances the penalty for this is a £30 or £50 non-endorsable fixed penalty notice or £60 for an endorsable offence.
Will I get arrested if I go to the toilet outside?
The provision of public conveniences is the responsibility of the local authority. If you urinate in a public place or a place that can be seen from a public place you may cause someone to take offence. This could constitute an offence under the Public Order Act. If you defecate this may be considered more likely to offend. Consideration should be given to taking all litter and waste with you and disposing of responsibly. You should give consideration as to whether your actions are likely to cause alarm or distress to any member of the public.
What is a P.I.N. notice?
A P.I.N is a Police Information Notice. It is intended to provide a person who is the subject of a complaint an awareness of the allegation made about them and an opportunity to amend their behaviour to prevent committing an offence under the Harassment Act.
Who do I speak to about the licences?
Please refer questions regarding licences to Natural England.
Phone: 0300 060 3900
What do I do if I find a dead badger?
A badger that has been killed by licensed individuals will be deemed to have been killed lawfully. If you suspect the badger has been killed contrary to the cull conditions (eg. not within the cull boundaries etc) call the police on 101. Do not move the badger.
What do I do if I find a badger that is injured but not dead?
Do not move the badger, but do call the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999, who will attend.
How much does the operation cost?
Police costs incurred for the badger cull in Staffordshire during 2018 amounted to £278,227.71. These costs are covered in full by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

BW Photo a Day challenge 004/014
I knew today was going to be busy so capturing a quality photo would be a real challenge. But I still carried my RICOH with me everywhere just in case the moment presented itself.
It started off with garbage day/ brown bags (leaves). Then a walk to the barbershop to get cleaned up. I had a portrait shoot with soul singer Tanika Charles in the afternoon with images that needed to be edited same day. Nevermind that later in the evening I wanted to support my friends at GFC for their new sneaker launch with PUMA. All that to say... here's what I got.
Photo 004 story:
One of the busier intersections in the east end VP & Danforth usually has something going on. I took this from my car. I'll be quite honest, this is my weakest shot submitted thus far. The composition is well done, but there's nothing special about it. I'm learning quickly that you have to make time in your day to create quality images. Period. Lesson learned.

I am trying to build a template in entity developer for dapper. For that I am picking in a POCO template.
However there is some rules which I don't know on how to modify/implement.
- Have interface
nothing special on how to declare
Code: Select all
<#@ property name="GenerateInterface" category="Output" type="System.Boolean" default="False" description="If it is set to True, then, for each class in the model, a interface will be generated" #> <#@ property name="InterfaceOutput" category="Output" type="OutputInfo" editor="OutputInfoEditor" description="Specifies output for the generated interfaces classes. The property can be used, if File GenerateInterface is turned on." #> <#@ property name="InterfaceNamespace" category="Generation" type="System.String" description="If this option is set, Interfaces will have this namespace" #>
- Model
Model is common class defined by getters and setters; only property "Keys" from database will be decorated. this is mapping class for Dapper
- ModelExtended
This is a business representation for some Applications related to business.
There is some ambiguity related to this class as it Model implementing Bindable or INotifyPropertyChanging and INotifyPropertyChanged and Cloneable; this Could be Model and and opt for declaring previous Model as BaseModel.
- MetaModel
this is kind a validattion class that can be used by any application;
It will describe PropertyNamesit will also describe default values when possible to apply
Code: Select all
public static string IdProperty = "Id";and will describe maxLength when appliable
Code: Select all
public static int QuantityDefault = 0;
Code: Select all
public static int NameMaxLength = 50;
my idea is getting rid of EF declaration if possible (I think so).
Could you help me getting there?

Organic underarms for life!
best deodorant EVER. so glad i made the switch to organic and found erbaviva!
Something different
Wonderful fragrance, and the deodorant works almost all day - the security of non toxic ingredients are worth the adjustment.
Wonderful deodorant!
The Jasmine and Grapefruit deodorant is effective and gentle. It does not discolor my white shirts and light colored sweaters. I love the scent.
Too much jasmine not enough grapefruit
I'm sure the product is wonderful (hence the 4 stars!) and customer service is super nice and prompt. I was hoping for a bright citrus-y scent with the grapefruit, but the jasmine is overwhelming and I can't get myself to use it. The price of returning it didn't make it worth it, so I'm going to try to find someone who doesn't mind the scent.
The best organic deodorant on the market.
I am addicted to Erbaviva's natural deodorant. I have tried 10+ organic/natural deodorants and they have all made me breakout in a terrible rash. I had given up on trying to make the switch until this gem came along. I strongly encourage all to try. This is my go-to gift for friends and family. I've yet to hear anything but positive feedback. Thank you for the stellar organic products!

Stocking your pantry: Essentials for the diabetic home kitchen
Stocking your kitchen with diabetic-friendly foods isn't just good for the convenience factor - it's essential for helping you to create healthy habits and make good dietary decisions on a daily basis so you're not led astray by cravings.
And with so many low-glycemic and made-for-diabetic type foods available these days, it's easier than ever to eat well. However, it all comes back to basics.
Foods to Keep in Your Kitchen
Proteins. For diabetics, lean protein is king. These types of proteins (lean turkey, skinless chicken, and many types of fish) are chock-full of amino acids, are lower in calories and fat than other types of meat, and will help keep you full. Most importantly, they'll help stabilize your blood sugar and prevent carbohydrate cravings.
Vegetables. Luckily for diabetics, you can pretty much consider vegetables a "freebie" on your diet plan: eat as much as you want, as long as you're not loading up too heavily on starchy, root vegetables like potatoes or squash. Stick with veggies like spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, snap peas, cabbage, green beans, and collard greens.
Low-glycemic fruit. Fruit isn't totally off limits for diabetics, but you should be more picky about which fruits you eat. While fruits contain natural sugars, they're still sugars. Berries are the top pick, followed by things like oranges, tangerines, peaches, melon, grapes, or plums. Try to avoid tropical fruits like mango or pineapple, as they tend to be higher in sugar.
Dairy. Dairy products, provided they are low-fat, are a good compliment to your diet, especially since many offer a decent dose of protein. Stock up on fat-free or low-fat Greek yogurt, skim-milk cheeses, or low-fat cheeses like Baby Bell or Laughing Cow.
Fiber. Many diabetics may opt to take a fiber supplement, like Metamucil, but you can also get enough fiber in your diet. Whole grains contain fiber, as do vegetables, beans, and many types of protein bars, like Quest Bars. Fiber will help stabilize your blood sugar, keep you "regular" and prevent hunger pangs.
Condiments. When buying condiments, check labels to make sure they're low in sugar, sodium and fat. Opt for reduced-sugar jams and jellies, extra-virgin olive oil or cooking spray for cooking, and low-fat or fat-free salad dressings.
Sugar substitutes. If you're a baker, make sure to stock up on some sugar substitutes for your diabetic kitchen. Natural versions like stevia and erythritol are well-tolerated by most people, and they are widely available in grocery stores across the country.
