Christophe Tack and Karolina Winkowska have conquered the Mondial du Vent 2014, in Leucate, France.
The final day of the PKRA Mondial du Vent 2014 kicked off under sunny skies and warm spring-like conditions, with winds in the 16 knots and riders using 7-11m kites, as the wind slowly built to 20 knots later.
Alex Neto rode strong advancing over Youri Zoon and Reno Romeu. Neto unleashed a variety of powerful tricks including the Crow Mobe 5 and Blind Judge 5, proving that he is strong contender for the podium.
However, Neto's climb was put to a stop in his heat against Marc Jacobs. Although the riders scores were very close, Jacob's high scoring Hinterberger Mobe and Front Blind Mobe put him into the next heat against former World Champion Aaron Hadlow. Despite high scoring heats from both riders, it was Jacobs advancing by .26 of a point.
In what was undoubtedly the best performance of the entire event, Christophe Tack executed a flawless heat against Jacobs to win the final in front of thousands of spectators.
Starting off strong, Tack never waivered for a second and landed an amazing arsenal of powered technical maneuvers for a total of 11 tricks landed without a single crash.
Not one trick scored below a 6.11. In the final heat, Tack landed a Crow Mobe 5, Front Blind Mobe, and an impressive 317 that was the highest scoring trick of the event averaging 8.63 points.
The women's level was exceptionally high today as well. Manuela Jungo earned her first spot on the podium by upsetting Annabel Van Westerop in a close heat.
While both women had high scores, it was Jungo advancing by .78 of a point with an impressive Mobe and S1. Jungo later would fight for second and third place against Karolina Winkowska with Winkowska taking the win.
Pitted against the winner of the single elimination Gisela Pulido, Winkowska narrowly took the win by .70 points. In accordance with the double elimination format, the winner of the single elimination must be beat twice to be knocked off the top spot.
In what is known as a super-final, Winkowska went up against Pulido again. In a battle that left both women exhausted and the crowds on the beach cheering, Winkowska took the win by 3.34 points ousting Pulido from first place.

Chief Minister Le Suer- Lies? Misleading the house? Incompetence? Just a puppet?. lets look at the evidence.

Terry Said in the States.
Senator T.A. Le Sueur:
"Yes, Mr. Napier had access to all the information he required and had it not been the case then I agree with the Deputy that the part (d) could have been left in there. But as there was the categorical assurance from the former Chief Officer of Police, it was no longer necessary."
So in there Terry seems to be telling us that the former Police Chief Graham Power QPM, on the 31st March 2010, in a letter gave his "catagorical assurance" that he was able to participate in the Napier Review.
He goes on to say.
Senator T.A. Le Sueur:
"I do not have the details of any letter on 21st April to hand. I stand by my statement that the former Chief Officer had confirmed in a letter dated 31st March."
So there it is again, "I stand by my statement that the former Chief Officer had confirmed in a letter dated 31st March."
I challenge your readers to read the letter on the 31st March 2010 and see if they can agree with the Chief Minister's interpretation of it?

Great post
Where do we start? The Voice is leading the way in investigative Journalism. Any idea when VFC will be publishing the Power letters? I would suggest you put a link to the power letter on your last posting.
Keep Going

- Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...
The key paragraph of what Mr. Power writes is this:
"I have been asked if I will comment on what I see as the consequences of the removal of part (d) from the terms of reference. It is not possible for me to know how Mr Napier would have approached his task had the original terms of reference been in place. It is however possible that had part (d) not been removed there may have been a need to comment in more detail on the events described in my Affidavit which took place some time prior to my suspension, but which may nevertheless have been influential in the decision to suspend. These include my refusal to participate in what I saw as a Civil Service led attempt to remove a Minister from office, and other incidents, described in the affidavit, which were a cause of tension between what I saw as my professional obligation to maintain a politically independent Police Service, and the priorities of some of those in senior positions who had a more politicised agenda. Investigation of these incidents may have created a need to interview additional witnesses. However, without knowing the views of Mr Napier it is not possible to be certain on these matters."
That encapsulates exactly what the Jersey oligarchy were doing - and why.
You know - I'm still not sure to this day that there is any one of the Jersey oligarchs who quite realises just how much trouble they are in.
Perhaps such stupidity and hubris is the automatic product of a stagnant single-party regime - grown ignorant and complacent through a complete absence of meaningful scrutiny and the iron control of all authority?
As I have often remarked on my blog - the Jersey authorities have done things - nakedly criminal things - to people like Mr. Power, survivors, me, whistle blowers and others - that no public authorities in any established democratic country would even have contemplated.
The wonder is - they appear to still be under the delusion that they'll get away with it, if they just keep stonewalling long enough.
These events are not merely just one more traditional Jersey scandal - that will fade away with a few pay-offs here - a few blackmailing oppressions there - and some deafening silences from the island's traditional media.
The Jersey Child Abuse Disaster was the occasion when - after 800 years - the Jersey oligarchy finally went too far.

Here's another one of Terry's, shall we say, "contradictions."
In an e-mail to Deputy Bob Hill Terry said.
"I also confirm that I am happy for you to be involved with me in reviewing the ongoing work of the commissioner, the reporting mechanism and the reports themselves, including the Final Report to be presented to the States."
And then in the States he goes onto say.
Senator T.A. Le Sueur:
The agreement was that the Deputy and myself should be kept fully informed of the "outcome" of the proceedings."
Again it doesn't stack up. in one breath he is saying "I am happy for you to be involved with me in reviewing the ongoing work of the commissioner, the reporting mechanism and the reports themselves, including the Final Report to be presented to the States."
And then he says.
"The agreement was that the Deputy and myself should be kept fully informed of the "outcome" of the proceedings".
So is it "fully informed of the outcome of the proceedings" or is it "I am happy for you to be involved with me in reviewing the ongoing work of the commissioner, the reporting mechanism and the reports themselves, including the Final Report to be presented to the States."?
It can't be both.

Hi Stuart
You are so right. It is one of the things im struggling with. How these things are allowed to just happen with no one saying a thing. The Media need a root and branch clear out. They like the FSLM are a danger to the Islands Children, if they are not prepared to investigate or ask questions then it will all happen again.
The Jersey Child Abuse disaster has blown the lid off this place no doubt about it. We must keep exposing the truth. I know how much this blogging and research has taken out of me ,so i am full of admiration for the work you are doing and how you keep going.
If TLS is misleading the house what can be done about it
- December 12, 2010 at 10:56 AM
it should be clear to all by now, that our elected representatives are only there to maintain the illusion of democratic process in this island
and it is an illusion,when an unelected lawyer can dictate what,when,how and by who discussion and questions are allowed in the chamber
(dont lawyers have chambers?)
dont be fooled,it is hugely significant that the 'states' is a corporation, run under commercial and maritime admiralty laws,
what is unlawful in common law (the law of the land),can be legalised in commercial jurisdictions
the blatant disregard for the law of the land is evidenced by the shite spouted by the likes of tls,ilm ozouf and other 'on message' members
if we continue to allow the usurpation of common law,we will all,eventually become indentured slaves of STATES OF JERSEY INC.

Some more facts and evidence.
- December 12, 2010 at 11:18 AM
- rico sorda said...
The Chief Minister says......
"The former Chief of Police confirmed to the Deputy Chief Executive in a letter dated 31st March 2010 that he would fully participate in the investigation, that date being well before R.39 was presented to the States. Because there was agreement between Mr. Power and Mr. Napier concerning participation that would enable Mr. Napier to gain full access to information,"
Graham Power says.....
"I replied to the above letter the following day (22nd April 2010.) I stated that although my concerns had not been fully addressed I am prepared to meet with Mr Napier, and I ask that he be given my contact details"
Mr Napier Contacts Graham Power by phone on the 28th April 2010
So, what is going on here. I have always said it's about evidence and facts. If the media gave it ago it would go a long way to cleaning up the complete and utter mess we are in.
What is going on between John Richardson and the Chief Minister? I don't believe TLS is so innocent in all this and the reason for saying this is the fact that TLS stopped GP from obtaining the dates of the original drafts of his suspension dates.
Lies, Lies and damn Lies
It is this attitude that goes to the heart of everything in Jersey.
The Incinerator
The Waterfront
Land Rezoning
Toxic Ash Dumping
You name it they can do it. They can say what they like because no one investigates and when a good Deputy does and brings the facts to the house he /she will be heckled down by the lackies
That is where the problem "LIES"

Could you leave a straight forward comment explaining exactly what 'JERSEY INC' is. I would also like to know in a easy to follow comment exactly what is going on
Thanks rs
- December 12, 2010 at 11:37 AM
the STATES OF JERSEY INC. is what we commonly call the 'states'
our government and all its departments are limited liability companies
the last report i saw had A.Ridgway and P.Bailhache named as directors (a bit old now)
SOJ inc. was incorporated on 1/1/1892
the 'states' is a business with owners just like any other company
all corporations are chartered by law to look after the best interests of the owners, above all else
rico, you ask for an easy to follow comment on exactly what is going on.
It is not easy to follow i'm sorry to say, we have some of the most expensive lawyers on earth,
making good money advising on jersey commercial law
i'm just a tradesman who has done due diligence
and discovered we live under a corrupt regime that routinely gets away with unlawful acts
(historic child abuse,g power suspension, stuart
debacle and much more)
the SOJ INC. have been screwing jersey locally for decades
I believe that if we can find out who the shareholders of SOJ INC. are,we will have our remedy from these racketeers
- December 12, 2010 at 12:54 PM
our remedy
it is my understanding that for SOJinc. to lawfully be our government,then the people must own the company
shareholders have in law the right to vote and collect any dividend,
share holders and owners of shares are not necessarly one and the same, shareholders can and do hold shares for others (ask a corporate administrator)
a shareholder without proxy (instructions from the owner)is obliged by law to do what the shareholder BELIEVES is in the best interest of the owner.
everyone has the right to hold their property
if we know who the shareholders are we can ask for our shares back and hold them ourselves,
It is a criminal offence for anyone,without lawful excuse, to refuse to give back someones property

"I believe William Bailhache is the real power in Jersey and control stems from him through the law office. There cannot be any other answer to how things have been allowed to go on. As in all jurisdictions there is always someone who wields the power. As I now lay out my case against the Chief Minister, if I could have one wish or Christmas present, it would be to have all the dropped cases from the historic abuse investigation examined by a fully independent lawyer"
How does this fit in with the Jersey Inc? Something must be going on over here as the total submissive approach of our media demonstrates. There are some untouchables. I remember being in a room with some very brave Abuse Survivors and the local media with the reason being the dropping of the Maguires case from Blanche Pierre. I will never forget a question being asked of our local media as to why they hadn't door stepped the AG for an explanation as to why the case had been dropped, they said they wanted to but had been told that they cant. It was a simple as that.
- December 12, 2010 at 8:21 PM
Was the reason for dropping part (d) to narrow napiers remit so less chance of finding the evidence for a conspiracy. Having said that after reading the napier report it's all in there. I can see why he was kept away from our shores and no statement was brought to the states.
- December 12, 2010 at 8:41 PM
- rico sorda said...
"including the Final Report to be presented to the States."?
These are the Chief Ministers words so what happened?
Deputy Hill brought p166/2010 asking for a statement to be brought to the states yet the lackies voted against almost every part of it. This is the incompetence that is ruining this Island, it counts for every issue facing us. In the good times the incompetence was hidden from view, the money god covered it all up, but now all is being laid bare.
- December 12, 2010 at 9:01 PM
yes W.B. has a lot of power,I wouldn't mind betting he is a director or CEO or somesuch of SOJinc.
the island IS run by the law officers and law society of jersey,Bailhache and his degenerate
mates compartmentalise the running of the 'firm'
sorry rico, but a fully independent lawyer?
yer having a laugh eh!
if you like i could deconstruct an enactment of the 'firm' showing that statutes do not apply to people, and how lawyers are complicit in this subterfuge
keep up the good work

So was it brought to the COM concerning the disciplinary of Bill Ogley? Who would be their delegate? and why discipline someone on a report that the Chief Minister didn't agree with it's findings. I swear trying to work this Government out is a joke
1.1.5 Connétable D.W. Mezbourian of St. Lawrence:
I would like to refer to page 7 of the proposition and the first paragraph after the bullet points in which the Deputy of St. Martin states: "Members may consider it reasonable that the Chief Minister considers whether disciplinary action against the Chief Executive is appropriate." Then I refer Members to part (6) of part (a) of the proposition which reads: "The Chief Minister has been requested to advise whether any disciplinary proceedings have been taken as a result of the findings of the Napier Report and, if so, to update Members on the outcome of those proceedings." Very briefly I would just like to remind Members that some months ago I was elected as a new member to the States Employment Board and I take the view that all matters that I deal with and that I hear as a member of the board should be treated in confidence. I would just like to clarify for the House that the matter of any disciplinary proceedings to be taken as a result of the Napier Report have not been brought to the States Employment Board for discussion, and the reason is that the disciplinary code for the Chief Executive is set out in an addendum to his contract. The code requires that such matters are dealt with by the Council of Ministers or their delegate and accordingly it is not a matter in which the States Employment Board can be involved.

No Home Affairs Minister we cant just move on. This about many things and the answers must be found
1.1.9 Senator B.I. Le Marquand:
There is no doubt whatsoever that it is time for the States of Jersey Police to move on. It is time for a new police chief. It is also time for key players like the former Chief Officer of Police to be allowed to move on into a peaceful retirement, and it is time for the Assembly to move on. The repeated asking of questions and going over of the same ground is taking us nowhere. The Chief Minister is not going to change his opinion of these matters. I am not going to change my opinion on these matters and I expect that almost all of the Members in this Assembly are not going to change their opinions on these matters. I am going to begin with the conclusions of the Royal Court in the judgment in the case of Power v Minister for Home Affairs. This is the decision, the conclusion, the summary in relation to the judicial review hearing in relation to the decisions which I made in relation to continuing the suspension. It is highly irrelevant to the matters that we are considering, and particularly it is highly relevant as to the difficulties in which the Chief Minister finds himself with the opinion of Mr. Napier on the one hand and the opinions of the Attorney General and myself, and indeed the judgment of the Royal Court, on the other hand in relation to various matters. The fact is that this is a complex matter. Mr. Napier has come to certain conclusions but those conclusions are not the same conclusions as come to by other people on other occasions. That is what I believe is causing the Chief Minister some difficulty.

''The Chief Minister is not going to change his opinion of these matters. I am not going to change my opinion on these matters and I expect that almost all of the Members in this Assembly are not going to change their opinions on these matters.''
The above quote shows an admission we are not getting honest answers we are being being fed opinions.
(I think it is know that the members of the States assembly are not going to change their minds.)
I am certain it is known members of the States assembly will not change their minds.

[Mr. Napier has come to certain conclusions but those conclusions are not the same conclusions as come to by other people on other occasions. That is what I believe is causing the Chief Minister some difficulty. ]
Oh I see, the only part of the Napier report that TLS will hang his hat on is the one matter Mr Napier did not follow up on, the CONSPIRACY, strange how TLS accepts that without question, whereas, those matters which were well investigated, TLS has a problem with!!!!

Oh, he is a slippery little sucker, he will certainly change his opinion on these matters, when he is finally brought to justice and sitting in a dingy little cell at La Moye. And if Mr Millar has a sense of humour he might put him in the same one that Stuart had to spend the night in!

article 1. definitions with regard to enactments.
(1)"in this Law and in every other enactment (as hereby defined) whether passed before or after the commencement of this Law, the expression "enactment",unless (a) contrary intention appears, shall mean any provision of any Law passed by the states and confirmed by Her Majesty in Council and any provision of any regulations,orders,rules,bye-laws,scheme or other instrument passed or made in Jersey under the authority of any Order in Council or under any such Law as aforesaid."
please note the (a) is in my brackets
basically this means the definitions in this 'Law' apply to all statutory regulations, legislation, licences, registrations etc.
article 3. application of penal enactments to bodies corporate.
"Application of penal enactments relating to a punishable offence,whether passed before or after the commencement of this Law, the expression "person" shall,unless (the) contrary intention appears, includes a body corporate."
again my brackets around 'the'
and in the schedule,part 1,defined expressions
we find:-
"person" shall include any body of persons corporate or unincorporated."
article3 tells us a "person" shall include a body corporate
it does not include anything else
and this is confirmed in the schedule
so for all enactments a person is a body corporate
there is a qualifying line
art 3 again:-
"unless the contrary intention appears"
here the law society/bar association acknowledges 'the' contrary definition to their meaning of the expression "person"(a body corporate)
it is the definition all us non lawyers know for the word person, eg. man,woman,girl,boy - people -human beings
use of the word 'a' (art 1) implies there could be a contrary meaning
use of the word 'the' states clearly there is the contrary meaning
I have found no enactments where the contrary intention appears, they all apply only to "persons" - (bodies corporate)
all competent lawyers know the legal difference between persons and people
no jersey lawyer would swear under oath with full commercial liability that "for the purposes of enactments a person is a man or woman."
if you look at CHILDRENS (JERSEY) LAW 2002
part 1,article 1 you will find the definition of the word 'child'
why would the law society/B.A. seek to redefine words we all know the meaning of?
lawyers are good with words, they use them precisly, not a commer or capital letter or bracket out of place.
there is a legal maxim:-
" Fictions arise from the law,and not law from fictions"
governments,corporations etc. are legal fictions
by putting the word LAW in the title of enactments SOJ inc. are using devious behavour designed to deceive
(JERSEY) in the title of enactments means SOJ inc. so, (JERSEY) LAW means the laws (rules) of the company
next:- a nice little earner
- December 13, 2010 at 7:47 PM
In the States Chamber from a former Magistrate it really is disgusting behaviour.
Ministers are abusing and intimidating States Members who want answers not the admitted opinions given so far.
These repeat questions are getting somewhere.
We have learnt that the Napier report was not as TLS would have the public believe.
We have had an apology from States of Jersey for victims of abuse which we would not of got had States members ceased with their questions.
The choice of whether TLS or others change their opinions is entirely up to them, but that is not what they are being asked for is it?

- December 14, 2010 at 3:43 PM
By Diane Simon
A major part of the investigation focused on allegations at the former children's home Haut de la Garenne between 1960 and 1986
JERSEY'S historical abuse inquiry is officially over, acting police chief David Warcup announced today.
The investigation – the longest and most expensive in the Island's history – has been officially closed after States police ruled that all lines of inquiry have been exhausted. The final cost will be in excess of £10m.
During the inquiry – named Operation Rectangle – officers investigated 533 offences, took 1,776 statements, collected 9,874 documents and seized 4,620 exhibits. And a total of 192 victims were identified during police inquiries.

Does this mean now that it is officially over. The 1,776 statements, the 9,874 documents and the 4,620 exhibits can now be destroyed?
Or have they already....
Long been gone?!
- December 14, 2010 at 7:06 PM
Jersey Police have officially marked the end of the Historic Abuse Inquiry.
The investigation, which to date has cost seven and a half million pounds has seen seven successful prosecutions.
The historical abuse inquiry, known as Operation Rectangle, was carried out by the States of Jersey Police between September, 2007 and December, 2010.
The conclusion of the trial involving Morag and Tony Jordan marks the end of a thorough and detailed enquiry into allegations of historical abuse within the child care system in Jersey during the period from 1941 to 2009.
The scope of the inquiry, the details of which are set out below, dealt with offences committed in childrens homes, institutions and private residences within the Island. A major part of the inquiry focused on matters at the former childrens home Haut de la Garenne, where enquiries covered the period between 1960 to 1986, when the home closed.
During the lifetime of Operation Rectangle:
1,776 statements were taken.
9,874 documents were collated during the enquiry, with 4,620 exhibits seized.
533 offences were reported and recorded under the National Crime Recording Standards.1 Under these standards, one offence is recorded for either a single offence or series of similar offences against one victim by the same alleged offender.
Of the total of 533 offences, 274 were alleged sexual offences; 238 were offences of assault, ill-treatment or neglect, 17 were offences of Grave and Criminal Assault and there were four other offences.
315 offences were reported as being committed at Haut de la Garenne; 66 at other homes or institutions and 152 at places where children were fostered or in private addresses.
43% of all offences allegedly committed at Haut de la Garenne were sexual offences. 84% of all offences in foster care or private residences were sexual offences.
Eight people (seven men and one woman) have been charged and tried before the Courts in Jersey with seven successful prosecutions resulting from these cases.
The eight people were prosecuted for a total of 145 offences (27%).
As a result of the complaints received, 151 named offenders were identified, 41 other offenders were not identified.
A total of 192 individual victims were identified.
30 of the named offenders were identified as having died before the inquiry was undertaken.
The total policing costs of the Historical Abuse Inquiry to date is £7,574,636, of which £5,088,328 is staff costs and £2,486,308 comprising non-staff costs (e.g. accommodation , travel and forensic costs).
Where appropriate, legal advice was obtained to determine if there was sufficient evidence to justify proceedings.
In recent months, the investigating team has also undertaken a detailed and thorough re-examination of all of the evidence to ensure that there were no potential lines of enquiry which remained outstanding.
David Warcup, Acting Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police, said: Investigations of this nature are particularly difficult and protracted, especially for the victims, and officers have worked hard to ensure that the needs of victims have been met. Every allegation or complaint has been given full and proper consideration and all possible lines of enquiry have been pursued.
At this point in time, there is no evidence from which it would be possible to mount any further prosecutions.
Should evidence become available then the force will review this to determine what, if any, further action should be taken.
"The States of Jersey Police will continue to investigate all allegations of abuse, whether historical or current, thoroughly and sensitively. The force has highly skilled, specialist officers trained in this area of work, and the States of Jersey Police remain committed to bringing offenders to justice.

The States of Jersey Police officially marked the end of the investigation.
Scary. We have some huge problems here.

Reports coming in say that David Warcup has a rather large bonfire burning in an even stranger looking bath. Worse still Tinkerbell is shaking her sexy booty to a picture of Mick Gradwell with his big manly rugby chest out. In fact its one large party. ILM is getting down and dangerous playing how many teeth can you get between the floorboards whilst hopping about on a Kangaroo, he is even drinking from the magical cup of Wiltshire. Hang on, here comes TLS, and there he goes. There all here at the closing down party. Teflon Bill has just got in the ring, christ this is one crazy party, he has just bet £100 he can go more than 5 rounds with the chief exec of education. Not a chance says WB , what do you mean says Captain Jersey ( el tel) I have read the fecking reports, they don't call him 'one punch lario' for nothing.
Must go
- December 14, 2010 at 8:26 PM
These are the ones charged and deservedly so. But lets look at the list
What happened to all the Abuse that took place in the Care of the States Of Jersey?
Did Vandenborn and Thorne work for the States?
Gordon Claude Wateridge was found guilty of assault on three girls while he was a house parent at Haute de la Garenne between 1969 and 1979.
Claude James Donnelly was jailed in June 2009 for 15 years for rape and indecent assault.
Michael Aubin was given two years probation for various sexual offences at Haut de la Garenne between 1977 and 1980
Ronald George Thorne was spent 12 months in prison for gross indecency between 1983 and 1984
Leonard Miles Vandenborn was ailed for 12 years for the rape and indecent assault of two young girls in the 1970s and 1980s.
Morag and Tony Jordan, former house parents at Haute de la Garenne, were found guilty of assaulting children in their care. The couple, of Angus, Scotland, will be sentenced in January.
If the Jordans ended up in court then what magical mystery kept the Mcguires out of court.

6.5 Deputy A.E. Jeune:
Would the Chief Minister advise please on what role does the States Employment Board take in ensuring chief officers are accountable, and can he say who carries out performance appraisals of chief officers, how often they occur and to whom the appraiser is accountable?
Senator T.A. Le Sueur:
The primary responsibility in respect of the accountability of chief officers if we are talking about financial matters is for the Treasury in terms of accounting officers. In terms of performance, which may be what the Deputy is asking, a performance review and appraisal of all chief officers is carried out on an annual basis. The appraisal of the Chief Executive is carried out by me personally, assisted by an external adviser. I am accountable to this House for that matter. Other chief officers are appraised by the Chief Executive or by his nominee and are accountable through him.
Now you see why no one is accountable they all have each others back
- December 14, 2010 at 9:14 PM
If Mr. Le Sueur is accountable to the house he is not doing his job we keep hearing his opinions?
Now is the time we need questions fired at TLS thick and fast, He wants this over put to bed. The man is in a corner.
Please please Ministers do not give TLS what he wants until he gives the answers to your questions.

David Warcup is way off the mark. According to the victims/survivors police stopped working hard to ensure the needs of the victims were being met as soon as he arrived and engineered the constructive fit up, sorry, suspension of Graham Power. Now the officers working on the enquiry were substantially the same as those who had drawn such praise from the victims in the preceding months. Nothing changed except the two in charge, the very same two whose spatial awareness led to them mistaking seven foot cellars for floor voids and getting the wrong dates on important letters, not to mention of course missing important bits of the so called Met interim report. It doesn't take much to guess why looking after the interests of the abuse victims suddenly diminished in importance. Lenny Harper

6.5 Deputy A.E June - Senator T.A. Le Sueur - written in a style of a question/answer styled interview
AEJ: Chief Minister, what role does the States Employment Board take in ensuring chief officers are accountable?
TLS: Silence......
AEJ: It's obvious from your silence on that question that you do not wish to answer, so I'll move onto the next one, can you tell me who carries out performance appraisals of chief officers?
TLS: The primary responsibility in respect of the accountability of chief officers if we are talking about financial matters is for the Treasury in terms of accounting officers.
AEJ: Nope you've lost me there, I didn't ask that, I asked can you tell me who carries out performance appraisals of chief officers?
TLS: In terms of performance, which may be what you're asking
AEJ: Not maybe, it is what I'm asking
TLS: The appraisal of the Chief Executive is carried out by me personally, assisted by an external adviser.
AEJ: How often do you conduct an appraisal?
TLS: Well a performance review and appraisal of all chief officers is carried out on an annual basis.
AEJ: and to whom are you accountable too?
TLS: I am accountable to this House for that matter. Other chief officers are appraised by the Chief Executive or by his nominee and are accountable through him.
AEJ: Just one more time, what role does the States Employment Board take in ensuring chief officers are accountable?
TLS: ................................... silence (no answer)

If Warcup was responsible for ensuring that cases against abusers were strong enough to pass the AG criteria!, no wonder there were only seven, as this Warcup chap, thought it wise to omit the caveats from the Interim Wiltshire Report, that should have ensured that it could not be relied upon for anything, let alone as the basis of a suspension!! With that sort of acumen how can we be sure the cases were as strong as they could have been!
- December 15, 2010 at 11:06 AM
The Chief Minister wants it all put to bed, but then doesn't answer questions, so back it comes again, and so on.

One of the biggest revelations (for me) to have come out of the Historic Abuse enquiry is that of the role that is played by the "accredited" media on this island.
They, in my opinion have been exposed, at best, as inept beyond comprehension, and at worst complicit in the ghastly shennanigans of this out of control and lawless government.
Our "accredited" media question nothing, they get a press release handed to them and they just churn it out, no questions asked. If it wasn't for the "accredited" media our government would not have been able to get away with all this for so long.......in my opinion.

I should start this post by saying that I just quit coffee. I think today is my sixth day coffee free. (But not totally caffeine free. Green tea has been my stand in.) Boquete is a mountain town in the interior of Panama known around the world for its crisp clean air, expat retiree population and coffee.
We went for a tour of Finca Milagrosa in the high altitudes of the surrounding mountains early one morning. This finca, like several others in the area, has a high enough altitude to specialize in Geisha coffee, known as the second best coffee in the world. We learned about the production process from tree to cup. It takes five years for at tree to bear cherries, and when they turn red like a cranberry during the winter months they are ready for harvest.
Most cherries contain two coffee beans, but the ones that contain just one are of a better quality. The cherries are picked and peeled by the hands of the indigenous Nobe people who come to the area for the harvest each year and are paid between $9 and $12 a day.
The beans must sit to dry for some time, and then they are peeled further and sorted. Before they are roasted they look like the green below. I learned that the longer the beans are roasted, the darker they become in color (obviously) but also, the weaker in caffeine content they become. SO, it might be time to change up that strategy in the office every morning, eh?
Chickens had their run of the farm as well and we were able to buy five fresh eggs to use for dinner later. I love eggs. After our tour we randomly met Randy, an expat retiree from Texas, who offered to drive us around the upper areas of town in his truck for a quick tour, fo' free. (He didn't seem to have serial killer potential.) Perfect.
He showed us his beautiful home and guest houses with a view of the Pacific through the mountains, and his orchid filled coffee fields. He showed us a unique rock formation on the side of Volcan Baru that people come from all over the world to climb. He told us about an abandoned, half built castle next to the river that an old Italian woman still will not part with after her husband and son both died before finishing it for her. He also told us where to catch the Bajo Mono trail at the top of the road to hike to the beautiful White Rocks waterfall. The next morning Em and I hiked through the rainforest to the soundtrack of howler monkeys and running water. Meeting this one friendly man really helped us make the most of our time in Boquete.
We fell in love with Boquete for a lot of reasons: the fresh air, cheap, local produce, beautiful natural setting, and the cheap food. We had casados at Restaurante Nelvis and also at Sabrason and enjoyed delicious pollo frito, ropa vieja, arroz con pollo, and bean and potato sides for $3 or under per plate. We also ate bangin' falafel one night at expat run Mike's Global Grill right on the river near Refugio del Rio where we were staying.
Before we left Boquete, we spent half a day lounging in natural hot springs in the near by area of Caldera. We got to play with a friendly monkey, Chita, while switching between the hot baths and a cool, nearby river. We left Boquete the next day feeling refreshed and ready to lay on the beach for a few more days on the island of Boca Brava before returning to Panama City for our flight home.

Mermaid Island is a board game for children that I stumbled across during my mermaid research for Mermaid and Other Water Spirit Tales From Around the World. This one interested me because it promotes cooperational play--everyone works together to defeat the sea witch--everyone wins or loses together. I haven't played it but the reviews are overall strong and I think the concept is strong. And it makes good use of the mermaid concept, too. I have to admit that I am not much into competition games--I only like playing against myself and many of our family games have been adapted to be fun and usually scoreless. My competitive spirit used to be high, but it was murdered years ago by my highly competitive high school.
Here's a description:

Author: Ruta Sepetys
Publisher: Philomel Books
Publication Year: 2013
Read: May 2013
Genre: YA-historical
Rating: **** (4 stars)
The Quick and Dirty:Josie lives in the bustling world of prostitutes, gangsters and booksellers in the 1950 New Orleans French Quarter. Over the course of half a year she explores a way to get away, but the pressures of her world threaten to trap her there. Exciting reading, but could have had better character development.
The Wordy Version:
Josie's mother is a prostitute in the French Quarter of New Orleans in 1950, but Jo craves respectability. Visitors to the bookstore where she works and lives start to assume that she's a college student, so she sees applying to Smith College as a way to leave the town that knows she's connected to a brothel, and escape from the trouble her mother makes. As her acceptance to Smith begins to look more improbable, Jo's need to get away increases—she may have implicated herself in a murder, gotten mixed up with the mob, and alienated her only friends.
Considering how hard it was to pull away from the book while I was reading it, I'm a little surprised that my feelings towards the book a few weeks later are mixed. There was a lot of crazy drama in the story—mobsters, prostitutes, blackmail, theft, secrets, guns, murder—and a lot of more normal drama—parent/child relationships, coming-of-age, gentle romance, college applications. With so much happening in the story, it was far from a dull book. Towards the end it was almost impossible to put the book down.
And it's not just the elements that grab you; Sepetys has a great sense of suspense. The first sentence is, "My mother's a prostitute." It's short, direct, tonally neutral, and pulled me straight into the book. The second chapter introduces some of the foreboding that will overtake the story later. Everyone begins to warn Josie of the return of "Cincinnati," the dangerous low-level mobster Jo's mother loves. Josie locks down her room, but closing the drapes can't block out the ominous "CINCYNATTY" written on a note for her.
There is so much excitement that I think character development is short-changed. Cincinnati is bad, but in a boogeyman sort of way; Josie's mother is stupid but still has some hold on her that isn't fully explained; Patrick is a devoted son struggling with his romantic feelings, yet Jo doesn't figure it out until after Patrick leaves so that aspect of his character essentially goes nowhere. The guy trying to get Josie to pimp herself to him is gross. Jesse, the too-attractive-for-me, smart motorcyclist, is basically just those adjectives. I wanted to cheer him on in his romancing efforts, but I didn't think he was developed enough to make chemistry.
The characters that are most successfully rendered are Willie, the madam, and Cokie, the brothel's driver. It helps that these are the closest people to parents that Jo has, and so the only development that truly has to occur for them is for Josie to see, through her teenage parent bias, the depths of their love for her. The book could have used more Willie instead of one of the other supplemental characters.
Josie is half cool and half irritating as can be. She's a hard-worker, realistic but hopeful about the future, and her seven-year-old self was very spunky. But she's so immature in her dealings with Willie in the second half of the book that I just wanted to shake her. This is probably just some facet of naturalism about rendering a teenager, but Jo handles many things so well that when she starts to get tunnel-vision, it's jarring.
So, great plot populated by flat characters = exciting reading but a little disappointing in retrospect.

Five Palm Jumeirah Dubai
(formerly Viceroy Palm Jumeirah Dubai).
UAE developer Five Holdings unveils new hospitality brand
DUBAI, June 19, 2017
Dubai-based Five Holdings, a real estate development and hospitality group (previously known as Skai Holdings), has launched Five Hotels & Resorts, a new luxury hospitality brand, under its subsidiary Five Hospitality.
Five Hotels & Resorts will manage Five Holdings' flagship hotel and residences, the Dh4.3-billion ($1.17 billion) property on Palm Jumeirah Dubai formerly known as Viceroy Palm Jumeirah Dubai.
Five Palm Jumeirah Dubai is currently in its soft opening phase with a formal brand launch event scheduled for October 2017.
"We are pleased to announce the launch of our new hospitality brand, which will operate four hotels and residences in Dubai by 2020. The total value of these projects will be Dh7.2 billion ($2 billion)," said Kabir Mulchandani, chairman and CEO, Five Holdings.
"We believe now is the right time to disrupt the hospitality industry. The people who actually provide a hospitality experience never receive the real benefits while most of the commercial benefits are taken in most cases by operators. This needs to change. There needs to be a much more equitable distribution and we will be introducing this in our hospitality vertical immediately to ensure our philosophy is executed from the heart," said Aloki Batra, CEO of Five Hospitality.
Five Hotels & Resorts' philosophy stems from the five elements and is inspired by its guests, its people, the journey, the destinations and everything that stems from that, a statement said.
The launch of Five Hotels & Resorts follows days after Five Holdings unveiled its new corporate identity, also based on the five elements. Previously known as Skai Holdings, the firm's new name reflects the group's continued ambition to grow its current property portfolio of $2 billion.
Five Holdings' real estate portfolio includes Five Palm Jumeriah Dubai; Villa Myra, Villa Pera and Cappadocia in Jumeirah Village Circle; Bahar 4 in Jumeirah Beach Residence; and Skai Residency. The firm is currently building Five Jumeirah Village Dubai, which is set to open in 2018, and manages a $570-million real estate investment trust (REIT), which is regulated by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA). – TradeArabia News Service

God has saved the world and everyone in it in his own self, Jesus, the light and the truth of what it means to be human. What condemns us is whether or not we are human, whether we are about living the fulness of life, ensuring that others live that life also, or whether we prefer to shun the light and do evil and harm to others.
– Megan McKenna "We Live Inside a Story" p. 125
The readings for the Third Sunday of Advent (John 1:6-8, 19-28) can be found here.
The reading this Sunday pulls a snippet from John's Gospel prologue where the baptizing John is clearly defined as a witness who testifies to the light and not the anticipated savior of the Jewish people. Then the reading jumps to the beginning of the "Book of Signs" where Jesus will gather His disciples.
To fully understand the witness of the baptizing John we need to go beyond this Sunday's verses to the events that follow. If we read further we will see that John will identify Jesus as the "Lamb of God" and then send his own disciples to Jesus. He humbly gives everything to Jesus.
The baptizing John had a specific role to play. Though he baptizes many people in the Jordan river he will not baptize Jesus. The role of this baptizing John is to bear witness only.
When the first group of Jewish leaders pressed John for an answer to the question of his identity, the Gospel writer put modified words from Isaiah 40:3 on his lips. In John's Gospel there is no mention of preparing a way for the Lord. The man named John who is sent by God is simply to testify to the light.
What is the point of all this, we may wonder? Simply put, Jesus is everything that baptizing John is not.
Jesus was the word of God spoken to the world. The bearer of the word and the word itself must be seen as one. It is interesting to note that the word logos is never used again in this gospel after the prologue. It was, however, lived, and it is to the living of that word in the life of Jesus to which the prologue points.
– John Shelby Spong "The Fourth Gospel: Tales of a Jewish Mystic" p. 61
The Jewish leaders had Jesus in their midst and did not recognize Him as the word of God. Our focus this Sunday is to take the example of the man named John, who was sent by God, by recognizing Jesus and humbly testifying to the light.
We are being asked to live our lives in testimony to the life of Jesus, and to examine our lives this Advent to see if our actions make straight the way of the Lord.
If you take one thing away from this homily, understand that Jesus is in our midst and our lives are a reflection of how well we grasp this fact. We can model our lives upon the witness of baptizing John or those Jewish leaders.
We are human, so there will be times when our actions fail to testify to the true light, but forgiveness comes after repentance.
If we need to make a change, now is the time because our community depends on it. Dr. Roger Ray explains that the "Jesus story is real, and every time we tell it, we bring good news to the poor, we bring hope to those in despair, we shine a light in dark places, promising justice to the oppressed, the refugee, the homeless and the unemployed."
I pray that this Advent finds you as a living testimony to the true light of Christ.
God bless,

I made a couple of the woven paper Easter baskets (used one for my mother-in-law, as she was traveling with us to San Diego at Easter) and they came out very cute...though mine was wider than theirs. These would be cute as May Day Baskets with dried or paper (or New Sheer!) flowers in them.

To the Editor:
Responding politely to our applications to buy a small ad in your newspaper, New U's Advertising Manager Natasha Monnereau wrote, "We are unable to accept requests having any association with Bradley Smith." In another, she included a full copy of New U's advertising policy, which emphasizes your right to reject any advertisement that doesn't suit you, but leaves unmentioned your right to accept advertising that might not suit other powers holding sway over your publication.
Powers, for example, like the Anti-Defamation League and the Hillel Foundation. Perhaps Natasha, or even your entire staff, have already received a friendly warning from a representative of your campus chapter of the Hillel Foundation, in accordance with the instructions on Page 16 of the ADL/Hillel publication "Preventing Holocaust Denial on Campus: A Manual for Action." Those instructions include marching orders for keeping ads from my Committee for Open Debate of the Holocaust (CODOH) out of your paper, and in the event one slips through, how to punish those who have allowed it to happen.
The Manual is a remarkable document. You can inspect it at http://tinyurl.com/3s5czz7 to see what fate you have been spared. You are, for whatever reason, punctilious about complying with the censorship imposed by the terms of this Manual, and to my mind this raises the question as to whether you comply with it when you make editorial decisions as well. That question will be answered, of course, if you fail to carry this letter in your pages as a letter to the editor.
In any case, New U continues to support the interests of
The Great Seal of UC Irvine displays the uplifting motto, "Let There Be Light." I regret that your paper does not better uphold it.

I bet if you log onto a busy Club Penguin server, you'll find WHITE penguins! Yes, white colored penguins! I found one earlier today. Here's how they look like:
The color white has not yet been released on Club Penguin, but soon will be. The color name is actually called "Arctic White".
Penguins who already have gotten the Arctic White color received it with third party software (hacking) and are risking banning.
So what are your thoughts?! Cool color right?

Members of the public are being asked to visit a ground-breaking exhibition at Teesside University and contribute to a study exploring perceptions of disability.
Renowned artist Kev Howard is bringing his photography exhibition d-FORMED to the University's Constantine Gallery in November.
He has collaborated with Teesside University PhD student Louise Logan who is using the exhibition to help aid her on-going research into how disability is represented and perceived.
Louise wants visitors to d-FORMED to sign up to be part of a focus group which will provide valuable insight for her research.
Louise began her PhD at Teesside last October and is researching representations of disability in literature and museums and is interested in how people engage and interact with disability.
She has already established focus groups with students at Teesside University, but is keen to attract members of the local community to view the exhibition and form a focus group with local people of varying ages and backgrounds to establish a deeper understanding of their perceptions of disability.
The focus groups will be held on the weeks commencing 27 November and 4 December. As a participant, you will be asked to provide thoughts and feedback on the exhibition and spend some time examining the exhibition as a group.
Participants will come together to talk about both responses to the work and broader thoughts on disability representation in culture. The focus group aims to open up new conversations into how society perceives and engages with disability, and provide insight into how to improve disability representation through a communicative and open dialogue.
To register to participate and find out more about the scheduled timetable for the focus groups you can email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Louise, who completed her undergraduate degree in English with Creative Writing at Teesside University, said: 'I am interested in developing a broader understanding of the representations of disability - both in literature and in our museums.
I am really pleased to be working alongside Kev Howard on this exhibition and would encourage as many people as possible to come along and take a look at the work which will be on display and to get involved even further by joining one of my focus groups.
'Part of that work involves exploring the public's perceptions of disability and how they interact and engage with disability. I am interested in the interplay between fiction and museums in creating cultural narratives of disabled people and performers, looking specifically at body image, medicine, gender and sexuality. The research will hopefully contribute to a broader understanding in representations of the historical identity of disabled performers.
'I am really pleased to be working alongside Kev Howard on this exhibition and would encourage as many people as possible to come along and take a look at the work which will be on display and to get involved even further by joining one of my focus groups.'
d-FORMED is an autobiographical and highly personal series of photographs, comprising challenging and striking images of disability and the surgical experience. It was staged at the Dorman Museum earlier this year and attracted almost 30,000 visitors.
Kev's social documentary and observational photography has reached global audiences for more than a decade.
'The reaction to the exhibition earlier this year was incredibly positive and, amidst all the uplifting feedback, it has inspired Louise Logan to work with me on this Teesside University display,' explained Kev.
'She's helped transform the exhibition into a project that may, somewhere along the line, help make a difference to the way that millions of disabled people are treated in future generations.
'So, not only can people enjoy and hopefully be inspired by the exhibition, they can also potentially contribute to some important research while they're here.'
d-FORMED will run at Teesside University's Constantine Gallery from 15 November to 8 December and is open 8.00am to 6.00pm during that time.

Ophthalmologist-Designed and Tested for Sties/Chalazia, Eye irritation/Blepharitis, Dry Eyes, Eye pain, & Conjunctivitis ("Pink-Eye")
For generations, the application of warm compresses to the eyes has been know to help relieve the symptoms and even permanently treat a variety of conditions that affect the eyes/eyelids. Until now, this exercise has consisted of people applying hot tea-bags, warmed up potatoes/eggs, hot spoons, and microwave-heated products to their eyes.
For the first time in history, there is now a logical, hygienic, and convenient means to achieve the best outcomes for people who suffer from such common conditions. Eye-press™ addresses all of these issues in one convenient, hygienic package: It combines a simple, natural, self-heating chemical reactor that provides steady-state heat to the eyelids at a set temperature that will not harm the delicate eyelid skin, and a soft, lint-free, medical-grade wipe material that is pre-moistened with a hypo-allergenic baby shampoo and lavender extract that cleans the eyelids and soothes irritated eyes. The device is also equipped with a patented butterfly handle that will make it easy for the user to massage his/her affected eyelid(s) with the product to gently wash off the bacteria residing on the eyelashes and help unclog the oily eyelid pores (meibomian glands) and help resolve sties or chalazia, along with many other conditions.
There is finally a convenient, hygienic product that makes applying heat to the eyelids a standard exercise, and by naturally controlling the maximum temperature and duration of the heat reaction, a safe alternative to the usual tea-bags and hot towels that are so commonly prescribed by eye-care professionals around the world.
The application of warm compresses to the eyelids has been recognized as the "mainstay of treatment" for a great number of extremely common eye conditions (e.g., Sties, Chalazia, Blepharitis). The practice of applying warm compresses to the lids, and washing the eyelashes with baby shampoo has been supported by a multitude of scientific studies to be the most effective treatment toward these conditions. Eye-presses are self-heating, reusable warm compresses that have been specifically designed for use on the eyes.

text: Celestial events, like the recent solar eclipse, are an awe-inspiring phenomenon that reminds us of our connectedness to the cosmos. For a few hours, when Earth aligns with the Moon as it shadows the Sun, creative and spiritual sensations are awakened. The circadian rhythms of all living creatures and plants are effected by the change to darkness when the normal cycle is lightness. Daytime dims and the air cools. We witness a change in energy at the planetary level. It's a shock and a shift. We can only be present and respect this universal force. Wherever we are and whatever we are doing when it happens, an eclipse is a moment of wonderment. Continue Reading

You Won't Let Go
A friend is having an encounter with cancer. Successful round of surgery, but inconclusive assessments from a recent biopsy and renowned specialists having differences of opinion about where to go next. Oh how we want the tidy testimony: "Jesus answered prayer and the assault is over" But not always so. There is a lot of junk in a fallen word and we are instructed to "overcome", not simply to breeze through. I like what Oswald Chambers has said about the Lord giving the persevering faithful ones a "fighting chance". Fight on Friend in the confidence that your attentive Elder Brother is like none other. The song featured here is right on point. Michael usually is right on point.

Many drivers who receive DUI citations are first time offenders who shudder at the thought of having a criminal record. Colorado DUI criminal penalties include jail time, fines and public service hours. In some cases, the jail sentence may be substituted for an alcohol treatment program, but this isn't true of all cases.
Drivers who have one or more DUIs on their record already in addition to the most recent one will face longer jail sentences, heavier fines and more community service hours. Jail sentence periods vary on the number of violations a person has. For example, a first time DUI offender will face between 5 days and 1 year with up to $1000 in fines and between 48 and 96 hours of community service. Jail may be waived on a first offense if an alcohol treatment program is completed. The more DUI convictions, the more severe the consequences.
The best way to avoid this kind of headache is to make the right decision and only drive when you're in a sober state. If you or a loved one has been charged with a DUI in Colorado, the first thing you should consider is contacting an experienced DUI attorney. You deserve to have your rights protected and all of your options explained. The Colorado Springs DUI lawyers at The Bussey Law Firm, P.C. are up to date on all current DUI laws and have handled a wide variety of DUI cases in Colorado. Call us today at (719) 475-2555 for your free and confidential consultation.
