CASE OF TAYLOR-SABORI v. THE UNITED KINGDOM
(Application no. 47114/99)
22 October 2002
This judgment will become final in the circumstances set out in Article 44 § 2 of the Convention. It may be subject to editorial revision.
In the case of Taylor-Sabori v. the United Kingdom,
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting as a Chamber composed of:
Mr J.-P. Costa, President,
Sir Nicolas Bratza,
Mr L. Loucaides,
Mr C. Bîrsan,
Mr K. Jungwiert,
Mr V. Butkevych,
Mrs W. Thomassen, judges,
and Mrs S. Dollé, Section Registrar,
Having deliberated in private on 29 May 2001 and 1 October 2002,
Delivers the following judgment, which was adopted on the last-mentioned date:
1. The case originated in an application (no. 47114/99) against the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ("the Convention") by a United Kingdom national, Sean Marc Taylor-Sabori ("the applicant"), on 1 October 1998.
2. The applicant, was granted legal aid, but never actually claimed it. He was represented by Bobbetts Mackan, a firm of solicitors practising in Bristol. The United Kingdom Government ("the Government") were represented by their Agent, Mr C.A. Whomersley, of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
3. The applicant complains, principally, under Articles 8 and 13 of the Convention that the interception of his pager messages by the police and subsequent reference to them at his trial amounted to an unjustified interference with his private life and correspondence which was not "in accordance with the law" and in respect of which there was no remedy under English law.
4. The application was originally allocated to the Third Section of the Court (Rule 52 § 1 of the Rules of Court). Within that Section, the Chamber that would consider the case (Article 27 § 1 of the Convention) was constituted as provided in Rule 26 § 1 of the Rules of Court.
5. On 27 June 2000 the Court declared the applicant's complaint under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention inadmissible. On 29 May 2001 it declared his complaints under Articles 8 and 13 admissible. The Court decided, after consulting the parties, to dispense with a hearing (Rule 59 § 2 in fine).
6. The applicant and the Government each filed observations on the merits (Rule 59 § 1).
7. On 1 November 2001 the Court changed the composition of its Sections (Rule 25 § 1). This case was assigned to the newly composed Second Section.
8. The facts of the case, as submitted by the parties, may be summarised as follows.
9. Between August 1995 and the applicant's arrest on 21 January 1996, he was the target of surveillance by the police. Using a "clone" of the applicant's pager, the police were able to intercept messages sent to him. The pager system used by the applicant and intercepted by the police operated as follows: The sender, whether in the United Kingdom or overseas, would telephone the pager bureau in the United Kingdom via the public telephone network. The pager operator would key the message into a computer and read it back to the sender to confirm its accuracy. The computer message was transmitted via the public telephone system to the pager terminal, from where it was relayed by radio to one of four regional base stations and thence, again by radio, simultaneously to the applicant's and the police's clone pagers, which displayed the message in text.
10. The applicant was arrested and charged with conspiracy to supply a controlled drug. The prosecution alleged that he had been one of the principal organisers of the importation to the United Kingdom from Amsterdam of over 22,000 ecstasy tablets worth approximately GBP 268,000. He was tried, along with a number of alleged co-conspirators, at Bristol Crown Court in September 1997.
11. Part of the prosecution case against the applicant consisted of the contemporaneous written notes of the pager messages which had been transcribed by the police. The applicant's counsel submitted that these notes should not be admitted in evidence because the police had not had a warrant under section 2 of the Interception of Communications Act 1985 ("the 1985 Act") for the interception of the pager messages. However, the trial judge ruled that, since the messages had been transmitted via a private system, the 1985 Act did not apply and no warrant had been necessary.
12. The applicant pleaded not guilty. He was convicted and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment.
13. The applicant appealed against conviction and sentence. One of the grounds was the admission in evidence of the pager messages. The Court of Appeal, dismissing the appeal on 13 September 1998, upheld the trial judge's ruling that the messages had been intercepted at the point of transmission on the private radio system, so that the 1985 Act did not apply and the messages were admissible despite having been intercepted without a warrant.
14. By section 1 (1) of the 1985 Act, anyone who intentionally intercepts a communication in the course of its transmission by means of a public communications system is guilty of a criminal offence, unless the interception is carried out pursuant to a warrant issued in compliance with the Act.
15. At the time of the applicant's trial there was no provision in British law governing the interception of communications on a private system.
16. The applicant complained that the interception by the police of messages on his pager violated Article 8 of the Convention, which provides:
"1. Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.
2. There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others."
He submitted that the police action amounted to an interference with his private life and correspondence, which was not "in accordance with the law" or "necessary in a democratic society".
17. The Government conceded that the interception by the police of messages sent to the applicant's pager was inconsistent with Article 8 in that it was not "in accordance with the law", although they added that this should not be taken as a concession that the action was not justified in the circumstances.
18. The Court notes that it is not disputed that the surveillance carried out by the police in the present case amounted to an interference with the applicant's rights under Article 8 § 1 of the Convention. It recalls that the phrase "in accordance with the law" not only requires compliance with domestic law but also relates to the quality of that law, requiring it to be compatible with the rule of law. In the context of covert surveillance by public authorities, in this instance the police, domestic law must provide protection against arbitrary interference with an individual's right under Article 8. Moreover, the law must be sufficiently clear in its terms to give individuals an adequate indication as to the circumstances in which and the conditions on which public authorities are entitled to resort to such covert measures (see Khan v. the United Kingdom, no. 35394/97, § 26, ECHR 2000-V).
19. At the time of the events in the present case there existed no statutory system to regulate the interception of pager messages transmitted via a private telecommunication system. It follows, as indeed the Government have accepted, that the interference was not "in accordance with the law". There has, accordingly, been a violation of Article 8.
20. The applicant also contended there was no remedy available to him at national level in respect of his Article 8 complaint, contrary to Article 13, which provides:
"Everyone whose rights and freedoms as set forth in [this] Convention are violated shall have an effective remedy before a national authority notwithstanding that the violation has been committed by persons acting in an official capacity."
He relied on the above-mentioned Khan judgment as authority for the position that section 78 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1985 ("PACE"), which allows the trial judge to exclude evidence in certain circumstances, could not provide an effective remedy to deal with all aspects of his complaint about unlawful surveillance.
21. The Government alleged that there had been no violation of the applicant's Article 13 rights, submitting that under section 78 of PACE the judge could have regard to Article 8 of the Convention when exercising his discretion to exclude evidence from trial proceedings. However, it did not appear that the applicant had ever submitted during his trial that the intercepted messages should be excluded from the evidence under section 78 on the basis that they had been obtained in breach of Article 8, and added that in the circumstances it cannot be said that such a submission would necessarily have failed. In this way, the Government claimed that the present case was distinguishable from the above-mentioned Khan case.
22. The Court recalls that Article 13 guarantees the availability of a remedy at national level to enforce the substance of Convention rights and freedoms in whatever form they may happen to be secured in the domestic legal order. Thus, its effect is to require the provision of a domestic remedy allowing the competent national authority both to deal with the substance of the relevant Convention complaint and to grant appropriate relief, without, however, requiring incorporation of the Convention (see the above-mentioned Khan judgment, § 44).
23. The Court recalls its finding in the Khan judgment that, in circumstances similar to those of the applicant, the courts in the criminal proceedings were not capable of providing a remedy because, although they could consider questions of the fairness of admitting the evidence in the criminal proceedings, it was not open to them to deal with the substance of the Convention complaint that the interference with the applicant's right to respect for his private life was not "in accordance with the law"; still less was it open to them to grant appropriate relief in connection with the complaint (ibid.).
24. It does not appear that there was any other effective remedy available to the applicant for his Convention complaint, and it follows that there has been a violation of Article 13 of the Convention.
25. Article 41 of the Convention provides:
"If the Court finds that there has been a violation of the Convention or the Protocols thereto, and if the internal law of the High Contracting Party concerned allows only partial reparation to be made, the Court shall, if necessary, afford just satisfaction to the injured party."
A. Non-pecuniary damage
26. The applicant claimed non-pecuniary damage for the invasion of his privacy. He drew attention to the facts that the interceptions took place over a long period of time (August 1995-January 1996) and were indiscriminate, in that every message on his pager was copied. He pointed out, furthermore, that since the Malone v. the United Kingdom judgment of 2 August 1984 (Series A no. 95), the Government had been aware of the need to regulate covert surveillance by the police.
27. The Government submitted that a finding of violation would constitute ample just satisfaction, since there was no evidence to suggest that, had proper procedures been in place at the relevant time, as they now were, the interceptions in question would not have been authorised.
28. The Court recalls that the violations it has found in this case relate to the fact that the interceptions by the police were not properly controlled by law. It considers that the findings of violation constitute sufficient just satisfaction for any non-pecuniary loss caused to the applicant by this failure.
B. Costs and expenses
29. The applicant claimed legal costs and expenses as follows: GBP 918.00, exclusive of value added tax ("VAT"), for his solicitors, and the fees of two counsel, amounting to GBP 2,680.00 and GBP 3348.20, both exclusive of VAT.
30. The Government considered that the sums claimed were excessive, given that the application had not progressed beyond the written stage, that the Article 6 § 1 complaint was declared inadmissible on 27 June 2000 and that the Article 8 complaint did not raise any new issues not already established in the Court's case-law. The Government questioned whether it had been necessary to have engaged both leading and junior counsel to work on the case in addition to a solicitor, and whether it had been necessary for both barristers and the solicitor to visit the applicant in prison at a total cost of nearly GBP 4,700.00. The Government suggested that GBP 1,500, plus VAT, would be a reasonable sum.
31. The Court recalls that it will award legal costs and expenses only if satisfied that these were necessarily incurred and reasonable as to quantum. It agrees with the Government that this was a straightforward case, raising virtually identical issues to the above-mentioned Khan judgment. It awards EUR 4,800 in respect of costs and expenses, plus any VAT that may be payable.
C. Default interest
32. The Court considers that the default interest should be fixed at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank plus three percentage points.
1. Holds that there has been a violation of Article 8 of the Convention;
2. Holds that there has been a violation of Article 13 of the Convention;
3. Holds that the finding of a violation constitutes in itself sufficient just satisfaction for any non-pecuniary damage sustained by the applicant;
4. Holds
(a) that the respondent State is to pay the applicant, within three months from the date on which the judgment becomes final according to Article 44 § 2 of the Convention, EUR 4,800 (four thousand eight hundred euros) in respect of costs and expenses, plus any tax that may be chargeable, to be converted into pounds sterling at the rate applicable on the date of settlement;
(b) that simple interest at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points shall be payable from the expiry of the above-mentioned three months until settlement;
5. Dismisses the remainder of the applicant's claim for just satisfaction.
Done in English, and notified in writing on 22 October 2002, pursuant to Rule 77 §§ 2 and 3 of the Rules of Court.

North Curly - Swim meets grim
5 comments:
As always great report by os.c on North Curly's ocean swim and 3 Point Challenge. I was a bit late for the ocean swim so didn't know a thing about the blueys hanging around which was great as I didn't even think about it!ReplyDelete
I thought the swim was good if not a little disorganised with the water crew a bit all over the place and not really paying attention to what was going on.
The u-turn buoy out at the heads was a recipe for disaster with people swimming in opposite directions in bumpy conditions - eventually they were all over each other, myself included!
I also thought the actual course needs some work as the buoys were positioned in a way that caused a lot of confusion for people coming back in and the result was a few swimmer cutting the course short and swimming straight back into shore after going past the rocks near the heads.
On the other hand the 3 Point Challenge was absolutely great with so many helpful volunteers and great organisation by all involved.
The photo above of the under 39 wave doesn't tell half the story! With the amount of young guns all starting on the same wave, by the time we got to the first buoy there was basically no way anyone could swim with that many people around. It felt like I was in a gay pool party with hundreds of fit men in budgie smugglers floating about!!! After that the crowd did spread out a bit more though.
The run was tough with lots of ups and downs, cross-country, soft sand, road, a bit of everything really. Some really good runners out there and a few incredibly fit and fast girls too!
Overall a great day organised the the SLSC so well done to everyone involved and thank you to all the volunteers for their help and support for this event!
PS: swim results are already available at http://multisportaustralia.racetectiming.com
By the way a bit harsh on the triathletes grim - we're not all like that :-)ReplyDelete

Hey Os.c - "gaunt,boney, whippets", "grim faces","they must take themselves very seriously indeed". Now hang on a minute is this a universal view of a triathlete?ReplyDelete
Why not publish the photo that you took of me emerging from the surf at the end of the first swim in the 3 Points and have an on-line poll on how I appeared. "Is this person: 1. Gaunt,boney & whippet like. 2.Grim faced 3.Looking like he's having a good time but could lose a few kilo's. Vote now by pressing the button."
There I am, wearing a Warringah Triathlon Club suit waving my arms in the air with joie de vivre, yelling as I went past "Get out of my way or I'll run you over" (that was a joke by the way).
Reckon you get all types doing both sports - just that it's a bit hard to see a grim face when it's either gasping for air or is pointed towards the Continental Shelf.
Maybe not such "different culchas" when both activities get people involved in healthy exercise. It was a "lovely day at North Curly", I'm glad to be alive & able to do it & I reckon the divide between the sports is maybe not as wide as you think.

3 point challenge was great - thanks for organising and big thank you to all the support and help along the way - much appreciatedReplyDelete
couple of suggestions
1) more wave starts needed - being in the first wave was carnage - finally got some free water about 300m into the 400m swim
2) the run variety and challenge is awesome but the run distances seem to dominate the event - hows about stretching the swim legs a bit - even the balance up a bit
thanks for hosting the event and c ya next year

Had a great time, my first biathlon and after this one will definitely not be my last! Small waves made the 3 swims not too hard but the soft sand at the end of the last run was a killer for us novices! Agree with some of the other blog comments that we ran into people coming the other way, we need to spread the field with two buoys to swim around out to sea.ReplyDelete
Great to support the local surf clubs but was pretty surprised that the late entry fee was $50 and they had run out of t-shirts, (which turned out to be the case for some who were not late registrants). Prices are getting up to the outrageous Cole Classic prices, so it will limit the number of swims and clubs that we can support in one season.

Jane Trigère (aka Hanna) died on Oct. 27, after a long "negotiation" with ovarian cancer.
"She made us promise not to use the words 'battle with cancer,' because, as she explained, she has never been trained in combat and warrior skills," said her husband, Ken Schoen. "With such a metaphor she could only end up a loser, but as a "negotiator," she thought she might have a chance."
Trigere was born in the suburbs of New York City in 1948 to Robert Sioma Trigère, the founding partner of a fashion design house begun in 1942 with his sister, the noted fashion designer Pauline Trigere, and Jane Ellis, a professor of English Literature.
Trigere attended the French Lycée of New York and spent two years at Sarah Lawrence College. She graduated from Boston University's School of Fine & Applied Arts, concentrating in theatre design. She finished three years of studies in architecture, but abandoned that to study leather bookbinding. This she did for many years, founding the Israel Bibliophiles, an organization for the book arts, when she lived in Jerusalem.
Trigère has been many things: a costume and set designer, almost an architect, an art bookbinder, a calligrapher, a cobbler, an eyeglass frame designer, a reporter and editor, a museum director, a teacher, an embroiderer, a painter, a gallerista, and most recently a published author, but she was always an artist.
"Jane believed that every object and every activity was an opportunity to express aesthetic delight," Schoen said. Before coming to live in South Deerfield in 1994, in the town's Old Firehouse, she lived in New York, Cambridge, and Jerusalem. She said it was her six years as a member of Kibbutz Kfar Giladi in Northern Israel that prepared her for life in the small village of Deerfield.
Trigere met Ken Schoen in 1991 and moved up to live with him in the Pioneer Valley.
She became the founding director of the Hatikvah Holocaust Education & Resource Center at the Springfield Jewish Community Center in 1997. She was also deeply involved in the creation of the Lander Grinspoon Academy as a founding organizer, a board member for several years and as a chair of the building committee.
Synagogue membership was an important part of her spiritual and community life. She was very active at Congregation B'nai Israel since 1992, and then moved to the Jewish Community of Amherst in 2012.
She went on to study Art & Material Culture at the Jewish Theological Seminary and received her master's in 2005. She had several museum shows in New York and also at her synagogue in Amherst. Her art can be seen at janetrigere.com.
She and Schoen founded the Jewish Historical Society of Western Massachusetts. As a board member of the Deerfield Historical Commission, she was involved in the restorations of cemeteries. In 2014, she created the Deerfield Arts Bank Gallery and enjoyed helping artists get their work into group shows.
Her last project was creating the ad hoc Town Common Committee, to make sure that there was an official body to watch over the aesthetics and development of this historic center of town.
Trigere is survived by her husband, Ken Schoen; her children and stepchildren, Shatay (Matt Curtis) and Rachel Cassia, Seth and Rebecca (Matt Cohen); and her grandchildren, Emmet, Shunie, Skaya and Leah.
Memorial contributions may be made to Cancer Connections (cancerconnection.org); the Jewish Historical Society of Western Massachusetts (jhswm.org); or Brandeis University's Special Collections earmarked for the Trigère Family Papers.
There will be a memorial event for Jane Trigere at the Jewish Community of Amherst on Thursday, Nov. 29 at 1 p.m.

A Teen Girl Happily Steals A Waitress's Tip.. Now Watch What Happens Next.. PRICELESS.
Recently, Imgur user, j4zmon, went to a diner with his girlfriend. As he was eating, he witnessed something absolutely disgusting. One of the teenagers, who were sitting in the booth next to him, suddenly got up and stole a waitress's tip.
Normally, j4zmon is a mild mannered individual who likes to avoid confrontation. However, the idea of some punk kid stealing another person's hard earned cash was too much to handle. He decided to take action.
What he did next is so good that it's actually going viral on social media. Take a look below to see his entire story.
Went to my favorite diner with the girlfriend last night, a group of six teenagers sat down at the booth next to us. Typical rowdy behavior you'd expect from a group of obnoxious teens, but forgivable.
A customer across the way drops a few bucks on the table as a tip and leaves.
One of the teens stands up, walks over to the empty table with her phone out, sits down pretending to text or whatever, and swipes the money off the table and shoves it into her shirt. Stands up, walks back to her friends (who are guffawing and whispering "Oh my god I can't believe you did that!") and sits down like nothing happened.
Now I'm not much for confrontation, and in most situations I'd mind my own business. But I kept thinking about how unfair and disrespectful doing something like that is, and how ticked off the waitress would be, assuming that the customer had left without tipping, when in reality some ill-mannered little girl stole what that waitress worked to earn. So I stood up.
Me: "'Scuse me, I think you need to put the money that you just took back on that table."
Girl: "…Uh, ok. I was gonna-"
Me: "You need to do it now."
Girl: "Um I don't really want to reach into my shirt with you right here-"
Me: "DO IT NOW."
At this point the waitress had walked over and picked up the check from the empty table and walked away to the register. Girl gets up and puts the money back on the table under a glass and sits back down with her silent, stupefied friends. Busser clears the empty table and finds the tip, gives it to the waitress. Teens all leave after a few minutes, couldn't tell how much they tipped but I hope it was good.
After they leave the waitress comes up to our table and thanks me for saying something, she hadn't noticed what happened until she saw me stand up and talk to the girl and point to the empty table, says I didn't have to do that but she's glad I did. I say of course, no problem, I couldn't just do nothing.
Our check comes later with the charge for the milkshake we ordered taken off.
Remember punk kids: waiting tables is hard enough, don't be shitty and steal their hard-earned tips or a stranger might call you out.
Pass on the amazing moments. Share this story with your friends and family.

The minister in July suggested that all pupils and students in schools and higher institutions of learning be subjected to mandatory HIV/AIDS testing
The minister for gender, labour and social development, Janat Mukwaya, has denied proposing compulsory HIV/AIDS screening for pupils and students in schools, and enrolling all HIV positive learners on treatment.
On July 23, New Vision reported that Mukwaya suggested that all pupils and students in schools and higher institutions of learning be subjected to mandatory HIV/AIDS testing, and learners who will test positive for the disease get started on treatment.
The article was based on the comments the minister made at the Uganda Manufacturers Association health fair and business networking luncheon at UMA in Kampala on July 20.
Enforcing compulsory HIV/AIDS screening in schools, the minister was quoted as having said, would enable the young people know their status and help the country realise the fruits of its current treat and test campaign.
In the July 23 article, the minister for higher education, John Chrysostom Muyingo, who was asked to react to her counterpart's proposal, said HIV/AIDS testing is healthy, but voluntary.
In a statement to Mukwaya, the Uganda Network on Law, Ethics and HIV/AIDS, said the minister disclosed the government's intention to impose mandatory HIV testing for learners in schools.
Civil society organisations also claimed that Mukwaya suggested that mandatory testing would "make it easy to identify HIV positive children and send them away from schools in a bid to have an HIV free generation".
"...the statement you made has caused outrage from the public and different stakeholders……your remarks are unfortunate considering the fact that you are in charge of a ministry that is constitutionally mandated with the responsibility to respect, uphold, and promote human rights including those of children living with HIV," the statement read.
But, on Tuesday, following a petition from the coalition of civil society working on projects geared towards combating the AIDS epidemic, expressing dissatisfaction about the minister's July 20 remarks, Mukwaya said, she never suggested compulsory testing of all learners in training institutions.
"I did not say that compulsory HIV/AIDS testing should be introduced in schools. I did not even say that HIV positive students should be expelled from schools. But I said there is still a problem although we have made strides," Mukwaya told journalists at the gender, labour and social development ministry.
The minister met representatives of the civil society organisations, who petitioned her, before she addressed journalists. Mukwaya said that she was "quoted out of context" by the press and the civil society.
However, the minister said she made some remarks regarding HIV positive students in schools after a school proprietor said she is grappling with HIV (positive) students that do not know their sero status.
"The head teacher said there are parents who pack retroviral drugs for their children to school, and ask the teachers to ensure the children take the drugs, but the children do not know why they are taking drugs," she added.
The school proprietor, according to Mukwaya, said some HIV positive children were told by parents that they (children) suffer from hypertension and other ailments, and that the drugs are meant to cure the diseases.
"The school proprietor said the children get concerned and tell their counterparts and teachers that they were told by parents they are suffering from hypertension, but these kids also ask why they do not recover from those disease and stop taking drugs.

The Professional Certificate of Dermoscopy is the first course in the three-part HealthCert Certificate and Professional Diploma program in Dermoscopy. The certificate is designed to meet the needs of medical practitioners who are interested in primary care dermoscopy and assumes no prior knowledge or specific training in the diagnosis and management of skin cancer in primary care. Participants will acquire a range of skills and knowledge in the management of benign and malignant non-melanocytic lesions commonly seen in the practice, melanocytic nevi, melanoma, facial lesions and acral lesions. Recognised and developed by members of the International Dermoscopy Society, no other program brings together such a diverse and accomplished team of globally renowned dermatologists and dermoscopy experts from Italy, Austria, Greece, USA, Japan, and Australia.
There are three intakes for each course per year and participants can begin their studies in any trimester of the year. Participants may enrol in one (Professional Certificate), two (Professional and Advanced Certificate) or all three (Professional and Advanced Certificate and Professional Diploma) courses at once. The three certificate courses build upon the knowledge of the previous course and must be completed in sequential order to qualify for the professional diploma.
Upon successful completion of the course requirements, course participants will receive the Professional Certificate of Dermoscopy.
RACGP: 40 Category 1 CPD points
ACRRM: 30 PRPD points
Course participants who successfully complete the Professional Diploma of Dermoscopy apply for academic credit for ten units (out of a total of nineteen units) of the Masters of Dermoscopy and Preventative Dermato-Oncology at the Medical University of Graz.
Course participants can attend a Skin Cancer Clinical Attachment at a specialist clinic or university teaching hospital to further refine and enhance their professional skills in skin cancer medicine.
HealthCert is committed to providing top-quality education, and to make sure this happens, we back all our courses with a unique Double Guarantee.
If you are not able to apply the course learning outcomes in your practice, get in touch with us within 90 days of course completion and you can attend the course again at no cost. If you are not satisfied with the course, simply return your course materials within the first 14 days of the course commencement date and we will provide you with a 100% refund.

"She tapped me on the shoulder and said, "girl, do you see that ocean?" I looked and awkwardly replied, "yes". She then said, "There is a lot of fish in it". Everyone instantly agreed with the woman.
"She quickly walked away, and I never got her name. I'm reminded of what she said every time I look at the ocean and just how true it is.

Shop Remote Control (3-Button)In some of my videos and photos in the accompanying articles you may have seen a 3-button device I use to turn on/off some shop equipment. Usually my dust control system and drill press.I have received many e-mails from members requesting what the device is.
It is no shop secret … it is an "Indoor/Wireless 3-Pack Dual Outlet Remote Control Set".The little 3-button, battery operated, remote control has the ability to transmit to three (3) independent control units. One transmitter operates all three (3) receiver units.The remote controls range is up to 80 feet. Each receiver unit can support two (2) electronic devices and this kit comes with three (3) receiver units with two (2) AC plugs in each unit.That means you can control up to six (6) devices.
But first let me back track a little.This remote control set is primarily to be used for indoor lighting, such table lamps, fans, things of that caliber. Basically, light current drawing systems, 60 Watt and 100 Watt light bulbs.
Tool stores would like to sell you a receiver and remote for around $60.00 to $80.00 each.Specifically designed to support large current drawing devices.What that means is, when heavy shop equipment turns on, it draws more current, that is commonly known as surge current during power up. That is why sometimes your shop lights dim for a microsecond when you turn on the table saw. Then once the machine has reached its normal operating speed the current drawn drops down to a lower value. It can be increased if the equipment is being stressed, like a table saw when you try to feed thick wood thru the blade too fast. Sometimes you may experience tripping the fuse or circuit breaker, you have exceeded the current draw safety device, the fuse or circuit breaker.
Usually simple, low cost, indoor remotes have a current rating much lower than 15 Amps.I have seen 6 Amp and 10 Amp units.
I purchased this kit because the package says it can handle devices operating on 120VAC and up to a 15 Amp current draw. More than enough capabilities for my shop dust collection system and drill press surge and steady state current requirements.
Best of all, it only cost $20.00 CDN and I can control three (3) devices which are farther then arms reach in my shop.
I would not dream of using this device to control the on/off function of my more industrial size equipment such as the table saw, router station, chop saw, etc.
So, now you know what the little 3-buttin thing is.
Happy Toy MakingUdie

With Asia, America and many more enjoying Mothers Day on Sunday, I wanted to celebrate the wonderful woman in our lives! Make her day truly special by spoiling her with a delicious sweet treat. My Orange and green tea loaf cake is one of my favourite cake recipes. It has the fabulous light taste of ground almonds and, for a slight bitter sweetness, I have added some crushed fine jasmine green tea. As every mum deserves a bonus recipe, how about adding some skewered grilled pineapples on the side? I love cooking pineapples like this on the barbecue. The star anise gives the pineapple a slightly liquorice flavour and the syrup gives it a sticky sweetness. Delicious! I've included both recipes below. Let me know how you get on. Happy Mother's Day! Love, Ching x Orange and green tea loaf cake MAKES 1 LOAF TO SERVE 4-6 1 large ripe orange washed thoroughly FOR THE CAKE MIXTURE 1 tsp butter for greasing 1 tsp plain flour for dusting 3 medium eggs 125g ground almonds 125g caster sugar 1 tsp jasmine green tea leaves zest of 1 large ripe orange 1 tbsp baking powder Pour about 700ml water into a pan and bring to the boil. Lower the orange into the pan and cook on a medium heat, gently boiling, for 1 hour, topping up the water if necessary to keep the fruit submerged. Once the orange is cooked, leave to cool, then slice into quarters and remove any pips. Transfer to a food processor and blend well. To make the cake, butter and flour a loaf tin measuring 19cm x 9cm and about 9.5cm deep (or equivalent, about 1.2 litre capacity). Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Beat the eggs in a bowl, then stir in the orange pulp with all the remaining ingredients (or alternatively mix in the food processor). Pour into the loaf tin and cook for 50 minutes to 1 hour until the cake is golden and has risen, and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for about 15 minutes. When the cake has cooled, carefully remove it from the tin and cut into thick slices. Serve with clotted cream, as in the picture, or try it with frozen lime yoghurt – delicious! Skewered pineapple MAKES ABOUT 6-8 SKEWERS 1 ripe pineapple peeled cored and sliced into 2cm chunks FOR THE SYRUP 100ml hot water 2 star anise 4 tbsp brown sugar 1 tsp ground cinnamon zest and juice of 1 lime zest and juice of 1 orange Put all the ingredients for the syrup into a pan and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the pineapple chunks to the syrup and place in the fridge for 1 hour. Meanwhile, soak 6-8 bamboo skewers in cold water for 15 minutes. When ready to cook, slide the pineapple chunks on to the skewers. Heat a griddle pan or barbecue on a high heat, then cook the pineapple skewers for 4-5 minutes, basting frequently with the syrup, until the pineapple has a delicious sticky caramel coating. Serve immediately.

ALL gone. SO enjoy the mess. I haven't a clue how to work with these freakin widgets so I doubt I can ever restore the sidebar the way I like. I kept html for a reason. Lord this will take all weekend to get settled. So you'll see changes for a while. I have some of the archives saved and I'll have to get hubby to help me restore those...but much later.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph I can't believe the whole thing is just gone. OH well. Too late now.

I am afraid of that happening to me too. So I went to Blurb and downloaded the software to make books out of my blog, not that I've done so. But it gives me a backup when I've 'slurped' the blog into it. And, like you, I am much more comfortable with html. Good Luck!

Double Squash Stuffed Squash
2 Small Acorn Squash
½ Zucchini
1 Box of Couscous (I like olive oil and garlic)
4 Strips of Bacon
A couple pinches of Nutmeg
Scallion for garnish
Halve the squash and season with salt and pepper, then roast in a 350 degree oven until soft (it really depends on how big your squash is, so check it every 5 minutes after 30 minutes have passed).
While the squash is roasting, make the box of couscous following the box instructions and fry up the bacon. Take the bacon out of the pan and chop roughly. Then put the bacon back in the pan with the couscous and zucchini over low heat and mix well.
Once the squashes are roasted, remove from oven and scrap out most of the center and add to the couscous mixture. Add the nutmeg and then mix well.
Fill squash with the mixture and return to the oven for about 10 minutes until the top is browned. Add garnish if you're dressing to impress or dig in.
If you want you can add breadcrumbs to the top that will make a crispy crust.

Double Squash Stuffed Squash

The magic of the Tooth Fairy remains, with bits of sparkles and fairy dust left on pillows in the morning light with no tooth in sight. It is always a delight waking up to fairy surprises as a child. With finding coins to a new toothbrush and toothpaste, these little treasures centered around the Tooth Fairy are an important coming of age tradition.
Anya has two daughters with her husband, and lives in Copenhagen. She shares her special tradition of the Tooth Fairy with writing tiny letters to place under pillows.
"When my girls reached the age when they started losing their baby teeth, we had long conversations about the Tooth Fairy. What did she look like, how big was she, and how come she knew that they had lost their teeth? They were also very aware of the money bit and even wondered how such a small creature could carry such large coins."
"I thought that just leaving a few coins under the girls' pillows wasn't quite magic enough, so I started writing them tiny letters from the Tooth Fairy. I went to the shop and found some special 'magical' paper, and used my pinking shears to get a zigzag edge."
"The Tooth Fairy has sent my children a note for every single tooth they have lost, and the whole process of waking up in the morning, looking under the pillow and finding not only a coin, but also a small note from the fairy has been very magical."
"Write your message in small letters. Remember that the Tooth Fairy is fairly small ("ours" is about the size of a small cat) and the writing has to be in proportion. You could try writing with a cute, swirly style of lettering, or if this is too difficult just make sure it is neat and easily read by a child. Most importantly, make sure your handwriting style is the same every time you write a letter."
The Tooth Fairy
In England, the United States, Canada, and many other countries, parents encourage their children to place the lost tooth underneath their pillow. The Tooth Fairy comes during the night and buys the tooth by swapping it for a little money, usually a coin or a few coins. In Tooth Fairyland, the fairies use the teeth to build all sorts of things.
The Tooth Fairy is the mythological character Brits are most familiar with. The modern origins of this benevolent bedtime visitor date back to the book, "The Tooth Fairy," published in 1949 by Lee Rogow. However, the concept of a tooth-collecting character has been around for centuries. This individual is depicted as a fairy not only in England, but often in America, Ireland, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia as well.
While English children typically expect money, this fairy may leave all manner of gifts. Some French children receive small toys.
The Tooth Mouse
In many cultures, the fairy is actually a mouse, and in some cases a fairy mouse. Mexican children leave their teeth under their pillows for Raton Perez, who swaps them for coins. Similarly, children in Spain present their teeth for Ratoncito Perez or Raton de los Dientes, the rat of teeth. Guatemala and other Spanish-speaking cultures hold similar traditions.
In France, the tooth mouse is called La Petite Souris, or the little mouse. Instead of coins, he swaps toys or small gifts for teeth. The Scottish White Fairy Mouse also buys teeth for coins.
The tooth mouse predates the tooth fairy by several centuries. A 17th century French story titled "La Bonne Petite Souris" carries the likely origins of this mythological character. In this story, translated as "The Good Little Mouse," a fairy takes on the form of a mouse to defeat an evil king. The mouse hides under his pillow when he goes to bed and knocks out his teeth while he's sleeping.
This story gradually morphed over the ages to give birth to the idea of a sweet money-bearing mouse that will creep in overnight to replace lost teeth with a coin. The tooth mouse is popular in Mexico, Argentina, Spain, Venezuela, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Morocco, Algeria, and Luxembourg.
Throwing Teeth
Many children throw their teeth as a symbolic way of encouraging new healthy teeth to grow. This tradition takes many different forms. Japanese children throw lower teeth straight up into the air and upper teeth straight down to the ground. The trajectory of the tooth represents how the children want their teeth to grow – straight and even.
In Middle Eastern countries like Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and Palestine, children throw their lost teeth toward the sun. In this way, they're asking the sun to send them better teeth the next time around.
Children in the Dominican Republic, Botswana and Ethiopia throw their teeth on the roof regardless of whether they're from the top of bottom. These children hope that a mouse will come and take their teeth from the roof, replacing them with the strong teeth of a rodent.
Children in Austria often throw their teeth over or under their houses, but may also make a key ring out of the lost tooth. Nigerian children throw their teeth in the attic, while reciting an incarnation for the mice not to eat their tooth, believing that if a mouse eats the tooth, the new one won't grow in.
Placing Teeth in Special Locations
Children in parts of Europe have been know to bury their lost teeth in the ground, believing that the act causes the permanent tooth to come in. In the Ukraine, children wrap their lost teeth in a piece of tissue and put it in a corner away from the light, while reciting, "Take my old tooth and leave me a new one!"
Mice enter the picture again in India, Korea, and Vietnam where children place their lower teeth on the roof and upper teeth beneath the floorboards. This tradition is said to encourage the new teeth to grow continuously, as mice teeth do.
In China, upper teeth are placed at the foot of the bed and lower teeth go on the roof. These children believe that the careful placement of their lost teeth will help the new ones come in faster.

USTFCCCA News & Notes
Scoring Big At The NCAA DI Indoor T&F Championships
Twenty-seven men and twenty-three women have scored 20 or more points at a single meet in the history of the NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships.
But none of those athletes could hold a candle to what former Texas star Carlette Guidry and former Oregon star Edward Cheserek did in 1988 and 2017, respectively.
QUICK LINKS: National Championships Central
NCAA DI Indoor T&F Championships Comprehensive History
Thirty years ago, Guidry carried the Longhorn women to their first indoor national championship.
Guidry scored 30.5 of Texas' 71 points in Oklahoma City. That gaudy total is still the all-time scoring record by an individual at a single NCAA DI indoor meet (Guidry also holds the women's career mark at 87).
The native of Houston won three of the four events in which she competed. She earned individual titles in the 55 meters and long jump, and helped the Longhorns capture their first of nine 4×400 relay crowns – tied for the most all-time by a single program (Baylor's men). Guidry also finished runner-up in the 200.
Cheserek isn't a stranger to a heavy workload at NCAAs, either, which is why no one was surprised that he took on the mile-3000-5000 triple last year in College Station, Texas. Sure, no one had ever swept those races before, but if anyone could do it, it would be him.
Even though Cheserek fell short of his goal (Josh Kerr beat him in the mile), he compiled 28 points, a single-meet scoring record by a male athlete. Cheserek also set the all-time career scoring record at the meet with 91 points, topping the previous high of 78 by Suleiman Nyambui.
Guidry and Cheserek aren't the only athletes to score 28 or more points at a single NCAA meet, though. Auburn's Elva Goulbourne did so in 2003 when she won the long jump, triple jump and finished runner-up in the 60 meters.
Single-Meet Individual Scoring Records (Top-5)
|Edward Cheserek, Oregon
|Carlette Guidry, Texas
|Edward Cheserek, Oregon
|Elva Goulbourne, Auburn
|Galen Rupp, Oregon
|Jenna Prandini, Oregon
|Justin Gatlin, Tennessee
|Carlette Guidry, Texas
|Two tied
|Dawn Sowell, LSU
If the stars align in 2018, the only athlete who could come within a half-point of Guidry's total is Payton Chadwick of Arkansas. Chadwick qualified in three events – the 200, 60 hurdles and the long jump – and is seeded 10th, 11th and 13th, respectively.
There are 48 athletes scheduled to compete in two individual events this weekend, including 11 members of the Pre-NCAA Indoor Watch List for The Bowerman (MEN | WOMEN): Mikiah Brisco of LSU (60/200), Maggie Ewen of Arizona State (shot put/weight throw), Kate Hall of Georgia (60/long jump), Grant Holloway of Florida (60 hurdles/long jump), Lynna Irby of Georgia (200/400), Justyn Knight of Syracuse (3000/5000), Sydney McLaughlin of Kentucky (200/400), Divine Oduduru of Texas Tech (60/200), Keturah Orji of Georgia (long jump/triple jump), Elinor Purrier of New Hampshire (mile/3000) and Karissa Schweizer of Missouri (3000/5000).
Based on the seeded marks, Brisco, Irby, Knight, McLaughlin, Purrier and Schweizer have the best shot at scoring 16 or more points from individual events alone. Schweizer is the only one of the group ranked first in both of the events in which she'll compete and could viably notch 20.
Let's suppose for one second that Holloway and McLaughlin are the stars of the meet. Holloway and McLaughlin win both of their individual events and help their respective 4×400 relay teams to first place as well. That would leave them both with 22.5 points, which would make Holloway just the third man in NCAA DI history to accomplish that feat and McLaughlin just the fifth woman.
The 2018 NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships take place this weekend in College Station, Texas. Be sure to check back throughout the week as we bring you more preview material and coverage from Aggieland.

Going to the main site interface and manually editing that question worked just fine, though.

That's "What Should I Wear?"
The Occasion: A reception celebrating exceptional graduate students and post-docs. (That's me, apparently.)
Time: Cocktail hour (nibbles and drinks served)
Dress Code: Business casual
Situation: I will likely be walking (so what else is new?) and coming directly from my tutoring meeting about a mile away from the location.
Weather: About 7 C, unseasonably warm, sun with possibility of showers. (Does this mean BOOTIES vs. BOOTS?? ) Whoooooooot!! :) :) :)
Other notes: I am obviously one of the older grad students being honoured in this way and am likely to be confused with a professor (which is fine with me, since I'm that, too, but I don't want to discomfit any other grad students). I'm also one of the only (maybe the only) student honoured this way for a highly interdisciplinary arts-based project, so I feel the need to wave the flag for arts-based research in some visible way. In fact, this is the only reason I am going -- I want people to understand that artistic practice can be based in important research, and more, can itself represent significant research.
So my question....what should I wear? I know, not denim. But what would be a good looking, not too stuffy, a bit creative looking....help appreciated!
And yes, I'll do some playing and experimenting with ensembles. :)

According to financial press agency Bloomberg, investment company Carlyle Group ordered Rothschild bankers to prepare an IPO for Hunkemöller.
600 million euro stock value
Only last month, Bloomberg also revealed that Carlyle Group, which bought Hunkemöller early last year from PAI Partners for 440 million euro, had put the Dutch lingerie store chain up for sale. It now says that an IPO is a possible alternative to a sale.
The agency also claims that the lingerie chain, founded in 1886 in Amsterdam and now a global force with more than 800 stores, should be worth about 600 million euro and will probably be listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange.
Under Carlyle Group's guidance, the brand ventured into other countries, including Spain and Switzerland. It also aims to double the number of stores and has recently bought out its Dutch franchisees to back that claim.

Unlike almost every other member of Andy Warhol's scene, Lou Reed went by his real name—although his mother called him Lewis. But even with 20 solo albums to his name before his death in 2013 at 71, Reed remained best known as the singer and guitarist of The Velvet Underground.
Today, the Velvet Underground is seen as one of the most significant bands in rock history. Yet, hard as it is to imagine today, the band was not commercially successful while it was together. Indeed, when Reed quit in 1970, he got a job as a typist with his father's accounting firm.
Born in Brooklyn and growing up on Long Island, Lou Reed—and the Velvet Underground—were quintessentially of New York. This year marks the 30th anniversary of his solo album New York and the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts just opened their Lou Reed Archive. In these pictures, taken in the early 1980s, Reed takes us on a tour of his city.

The taxes in the canton Basel-Stadt will drop on a broad front. On Sunday, 78.8 percent of voters approved the Basel compromise for corporation tax. According to this, the profit tax rate will be reduced to 13 percent and the capital tax rate to 0.1 percent. At the same time, income tax will be cut and deductions for self-paid health insurance premiums will be increased. The canton is expecting relief totaling 100 million francs for companies and shareholders and of 150 million francs for the population.
At the same time, Tax Proposal 17 ("TP17") will do away with the existing tax privileges for holdings, management and mixed companies. With the new patent box, the Canton wants to remain competitive as a research and development center.
The compromise had been worked out by the cantonal government in conjunction with all the parties represented in the cantonal parliament. As Martin Dätwyler, Director of the Basel Chamber of Commerce, is quoted as saying in a press release by his organization: "By accepting TP17 we have achieved legal security for companies and therefore created planning and investment certainty".
"As the first German-speaking canton and pillar of the Life Science industry, Basel-Stadt is creating the basis for competitive, OECD-compliant, and legally certain taxation for companies domiciled in the canton", writes KPMG.

"So what should I do to lose 15 pounds?"
We hear this question from many new clients and we're still looking for a 'magic' answer. Maybe this is the curse of all personal trainers. How we answer this question will no doubt influence our client's mindset and set the tone for our time together.
We like to educate our clients by telling them the truth about weight loss and the combined effects of nutrition and diet on their ultimate success.
"Fitness is a journey and not a destination." Learning to make the right choices in your diet and workouts will become a lifestyle that never ends. The first step is building habits based on goals that will help to gauge your adherence to the plan. Goals like:
1) Lose excess weight
2) Tone your body
3) Raise your overall metabolism
4) Adopt these habits as part of your lifestyle
There are four aspects to achieving and maintaining a healthy, fit body.
What you eat matters. As much as 80% of weight loss success hinges on making good decisions with meals. A healthy diet needs to be well rounded with the proper amount of nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
As part of our Hybrid Health Plan we offer diet and nutrition tips that help you form healthy eating habits. We also offer a meal plan service through our in-house commissary called Fit Fresh Cuisine where you can order well-portioned, balanced meals.
Cardio Training
Working out your heart and burning calories by moving your body. Some examples include walking, jogging, swimming, aerobics, and all things that make you sweat.
The major benefits of a cardio training regimen are calorie burning, conditioning, and disease prevention. It's easy to develop a habit with cardio activities by just being active and getting your heart rate up. We offer Cardio equipment throughout the gym in Fitchburg that can get and keep you fit.
Resistance Training
Resistance training is using weights including free weights, weight machines, resistance bands, exercise balls, or sometimes your own body weight to work out your muscles with resistance.
Weight training doesn't have to be all about building bulk. You can create muscle tone, add bone density, and increase metabolism. Resistance can make your body feel and look 10 years younger. Other benefits of resistance include:
- Increased Strength
- Improved Balance and Coordination
- Higher Self Esteem and Renewed Confidence
- Feel Good Endorphins
The number one reason most people fail in achieving their weight loss and fitness goals is because they fail to adopt it as a lifestyle. This is where accountability and motivation are most useful.
Whether you try it yourself, or work with one of our professional fitness trainers, you must apply the most up to date nutrition, cardiovascular training, and resistance training information available to you. Further, if you work with a fitness trainer you can be 100% confident that your weight loss and fitness program is specifically created to give you maximum results in minimum time.
Our personal fitness trainers at Hybrid Athletic Club are committed to giving you the edge and engagement you need to meet your goals. Our group classes and our group fitness plan called Hybrid Health Plan for weight loss can give you that external drive to for success.
If you are ready to commit to making a change in your life and focus on the weight you've been intending to use, please consider our 12-Week Hybrid Health Plan. We are a 3-time winner for NBC15's "Madison's Biggest Loser" and we would love to help you.
About Us
Hybrid Athletic Club is a full-service athletic gym with expertise in personal training, group fitness, and individual workout programs. We are located just south of Madison off of Hwy PD. You can find out more about our programs or feel free to take a look at our upcoming calendar online at www.hybridfitness.org. We also have a connected commissary and meal plan service called Fit Fresh Cuisine that can help with diet consulting and prepared meal options for weight loss and healthy lifestyle kickoffs.

ĐẮK LẮK — Việt Nam aims to increase the value of coffee products by processing more than 25 per cent of its coffee beans by 2020, according to the Processing and Market Development Authority (AgroTrade) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The country hopes to increase the output of roasted coffee from 26,000 tonnes at present to 50,000 tonnes by 2020, mainly for domestic sale.
The ministry has encouraged localities, particularly in the Central Highlands, south-eastern and Mekong Delta regions, to develop technologies to process some 55,000 tonnes of instant coffee annually.
Despite making up a modest percentage of the country's total coffee beans, processed coffee is expected to rake in more than US$1 billion from exports and domestic sales, a quarter of the sector's production value.
The ministry said it would support coffee processing investment via restructuring products to increase added value.
The State will also help export firms train staff with qualifications and English proficiency, promote trade and participate in international coffee workshops and fairs as well as call for investment in processing industry, set joint ventures and get involved in foreign supply chains.
Processing coffee is a stage that creates the highest added value from VNĐ70 million to VNĐ100 million (US$3,004 to $4,291) per tonne of coffee beans.
However, processed coffee makes up less than 10 per cent of total coffee production nationwide. The country only has eight instant coffee processing plants and 11 mixed instant coffee ones with respective total capacity of 36,480 tonnes and 139,850 tonnes per year.
On the other side, Việt Nam has hundreds of small-scale roasted coffee processing facilities.
The Central Highlands province of Đắk Lắk is a key coffee area of the country, but its processed coffee only comprises about 10 per cent of total coffee beans.
The locality has 163 coffee processing facilities, mainly operating on a small-scale, including five invested in by foreign firms.
In 2016-17, Đắk Lắk earned some $28.8 billion from exporting 4,426 tonnes of instant coffee, making up 2.2 per cent and 6.5 per cent of total output and export turnover.
At present, the country has more than 664,633ha of coffee, up 14,000ha compared to 2017, including 606,938ha for commercial coffee. In the 2017-18 crop, Việt Nam harvested 1.529 billion tonnes of coffee beans, mainly from Central Highlands provinces. — VNS
