The Italian environmentalist association
For the second time in a row, a small beach near Salerno, Cala degli Infreschi in Marina di Camerota, got the first position. Cala degli Infreschi is a particularly evocative strip of sand that can be accessed only by sea or through a few suggestive paths drawn in the middle of the Mediterranean scrub.
Beyond Cala degli Infreschi, some of most beautiful beaches of Italy for 2014 can be found all over Italy, from Punta Aderci near Vasto to Spiaggia della Scalea in Calabria. In Liguria, Baia del Silenzio near Sestri Levante is considered the best in the region, while near Rome Dune di Sabaudia is another must-see beach.
It is not surprising to learn that Sardinia is highly represented in this list, thanks to Cala Mariolu, Cala Luna and Bidderosa near Nuoro, and Compoltitu in Bosa, near Oristano. In Sicily, the most beautiful beaches are Spiaggia dei Conigli (Rabbit's beach), in Lampedusa, Cala Faraglione, near Levanzo, and Riserva dello Zingaro, near Trapani. Tuscany also counts lots of beautiful beaches. Cannelle, in the Giglio island, Colle Lungo, in the Maremma Park, and Sansone's beach in Portoferraio, near Livorno.
The Adriatic coast also offers some nice beaches. Among them, Legambiente identified Baia delle Zagare, near Fogglia, in Apulia, and Mezzavalle, near Ancona (Marche). Finally, Cala degli Infreschi in Marina di Camerota is not the only stunning beach of Salento. Porto Selvaggio, Marina di Pescoluse as well as Buondormire.re near Palinuro are three other must-seen places.

The Federal Reserve and Measures It Might Take in the Forthcoming Months
With the recent rate increase, a lot of people are pondering if it's an indication of what's to take place. In reality, Wall Street has already said they feel the Fed will certainly boost rates once again in the upcoming months, more than likely during March. The rate raises won't take place swiftly, according to them, especially if China chooses to rapidly decrease the value of its yuan in the upcoming months. Thus the issue might not be, "Will the Fed Raise Rates?", but "When Will the Fed Raise Rates?" or even "how much will fed raise rates?". Exactly what brought on this specific shift in reasoning after the rates remained reduced for so long? Right after the Fed decided to increase federal rates in December, primary dealers who actually communicate personally with the organization were polled. At that time, 13 of 19 explained they be expecting another rate rise in March. Currently, 13 of 18 uphold their particular assertion, feeling this may still occur. If asked even further, those dealers said they think the federal rate upsurge seen by the end of 2016 will probably be anywhere between 1 and 1.25 percent, with this as the typical anticipation. December's rate boost was indeed the first one witnessed in the past nine years, but several Fed officials believe it was in fact the very first of several. In fact, these are generally forecasting 4 rate hikes over the forthcoming months, yet Wall Street disagrees, saying three increases in the federal interest rate this year are more likely. One concern in this whole dialogue is China. Nobody can forecast exactly what officials inside this country will do. In the event the yuan were to go down in value at a rapid speed, interest rate hikes in the United States will probably be slower to take place, as depreciation of the yuan would have a visible impact on international commerce. Exports in China are not very competitive, ultimately causing weaker demand, which is bringing about the nation's decision to depreciate the currency. This specific decrease in the valuation of the money has sped up recently, and the result continues to be observed in the worldwide marketplaces. It will be fascinating to see just how the year plays out and just what actually transpires. The labor sector continues to be strong, but stocks are selling off, resulting in an undesirable week within the stock market. No one can definitively say what's going to happen next, but the Fed Raise Rates when they feel they must do it, thus people need to be well prepared.

One of the great joys of the internet is that it brings together people with niche interests, people who often struggle to find kindred spirits in real life. In my case, the niche is science. I do have many real-life scientist friends, but due to the short-term contracts and geographical mobility that characterise early stage science careers, most of them have moved on (or will soon) and are now scattered all over the world – my eleven years spent in the same city where I did my postdoctoral research are very much the exception, not the rule. And so I spend most of my leisure time with friends (lovely, thoughtful, hilarious friends) who have little or no interest in science.
Since discovering and joining the world of science blogs in 2007, I've found a wonderful online community of people who share my scientific interests and get my geeky jokes. Many have become firm friends, even some of those I have not yet been lucky enough to meet in person. Joining Twitter a couple of years later spread the net even further, and has resulted in even more friendships as we chat online about science and the world of grant applications and manuscript reviews that surrounds it.
This feature of the internet can, however, be a curse as well as a blessing. The bringing together of people with similar interests builds solid communities, yes – but they are communities that run the risk of becoming insular echo chambers, where shared context and jargon serve as barriers to communication with non-scientists. Yes, we have frequent and sometimes massive differences of opinion within the group – but can anyone else understand these arguments, and if so, why on earth should they care?
I count myself very lucky, then, to have been given an opportunity a few weeks ago to use the internet to communicate with a very different community. It started when, through one of my online scientist friends, I stumbled across the People of Canada Twitter account. This is one of a growing number of accounts representing a country, city, or other community that are run by a different member of that community every week – an explanation and a list of all known accounts can be found at the Rotation Curation website.
Some accounts were created and overseen by national governments, often with the aim of promoting tourism to that country; the Canadian account is, in contrast, completely unaffiliated with the government, and was set up simply "to represent Canadians, no matter where they live or whatever identities they may hold". I applied immediately, and was chosen to run the account 21-27 January.
When I signed up, it wasn't my intention to use the account for science communication. I have my own account for geeking out with my scientist friends, after all, and I do also have lots of other interests to talk about. In fact, the timing was perfect – I curated the account in a week during which I had tickets for a Vancouver Canucks vs. Calgary Flames ice hockey game and a live story-telling event, and plans to go snow-shoeing with some friends. I'm not usually anywhere near that interesting.
I tweeted about all those events, and also used the account to start some very interesting conversations about my experiences as an immigrant to Canada; Canadian books, music, craft beer, and electoral reform; as well as one massive controversy (my list of what I think the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation does well and poorly). However, since science is such a big part of my life, it did seem to just start … slipping in there.
It started on the Monday morning, when the first item on my work to-do list was to identify the best YouTube videos on the subject of epigenetics. Once identified, I thought I might as well tweet them, and get in a quick plug for Canadian science in general:
(if you're unfamiliar with Twitter, tweets are listed in reverse chronological order, so start at the bottom and read up!)
Encouraged by the handful of favourites and retweets these posts attracted, I scattered gradually more and more scientific nuggets in among my other tweets. I covered scientific articles in both the mainstream media and the technical literature, local science outreach events, and the problems caused by the sheer volume of data generated by modern science. I even ventured into the realm of science humour:
As with almost every interaction I had with followers of the account, the response to the scientific content I was tweeting was overwhelmingly positive. Aside from the favourites and retweets, I got quite a few questions and other replies in return, and a couple of private messages saying that people were really enjoying the links I was sharing.
Stupidly, I didn't write down the number of people following the account at the beginning of the week so I'm working from memory here, but I think it had increased by a couple of hundred by the time I'd finished. I definitely didn't cause a net loss – and hopefully I played a small role in demonstrating that scientists are just normal people who like hockey, beer, and the great outdoors as well as epigenetics, public health policy, and geeky humour.
I also left the account in a much geekier state than I'd found it. I followed the Twitter accounts of all the Canadian scientists I could find; all the federal research funding agencies; the CBC's various health and science news feeds as well as that of their excellent science podcast, Quirks and Quarks; and several other sources of science news, including – naturally – @GuardianScience and @OccamT. This means that everyone who curates the account from now on will find a lot of scientific content in their incoming feed – and maybe they'll even share some of it with their followers!
As for me, I had an absolute blast during my week as an official Person of Canada, and missed it terribly when it was all over. I found some lovely new online communities, and have plans to meet up with one of the local people with whom I corresponded about non-scientific issues over the course of my week.
It was good to step out of the echo chamber for a while, and try to communicate science to non-scientists. I think I did OK, and I certainly developed a taste for more of the same. I would recommend taking part in this kind of venture to anyone who understands the value of online communities – but perhaps especially to fellow scientists!

December 18th-Shows across Japan!
This coming Sunday sees 3 shows taking place across Japan.
Fukuoka, Japan
The most notable of the shows is in Fukuoka where we get female world title action.
That world title bout will see WBC female Minimumweight champion Yuko Kuroki (16-4-1, 8) battle against Mari Ando (13-9, 6), in what will be the second bout between the two ladies. Kuroki won the title in May 2014, when she defeated Ando, and has racked up 4 defenses of the title whilst showing genuine signs of improvement. For Ando the bout will be a chance to gain some revenge over Kuroki but a loss will almost be the end of her hard career.
In a really interesting supporting bout we'll see the struggling Hideo Sakamoto (16-3-3, 5) face of with Ryotaro Kawabata (11-2-2, 5). Sakamoto made a name for himself in 2014, when he upset Hiroki Shiino, and looked to be beading towards a Japanese title, but a draw with Hiroaki Teshigawara has been followed by losses to Kentaor Masuda and Seizo Kono, leading some to wonder how much he has left. For Kawabata the bout is a chance to score his biggest win following draws against the likes of Hirofumi Mukai and Rene Dacquel. It's hard to know how good Kawabata is, but he did run Mark John Yap very close just a few fights back and clearly has potential.
Osaka, Japan
Another title bout in Japan sees unbeaten youngster Takuya Uehara (10-0, 6) battle Filipino Markquil Salvana (11-2, 5) for the WBC Youth Featherweight title. For Uehara this will be his first title bout, but his team have prepared him pretty well with a string of 8 rounders, though he has only gone that distance once. Salvana has previously fought for a title, losing in a WBA Oceania title fight in 2015, and is struggling for form coming into this bout with 2 stoppages losses in his last 4. On paper this looks good but with Salvana's struggle and the fact he is moving up in weight does mean it's hard to see anything but a win for Uehara.
On the under-card here we'll see the now struggling Tatsuya Ikemizu (13-2, 6) battle against limited Thai Jaipetch Chaiyonggym (5-6, 1). Ikemizu has lost 2 of his last 3 bouts, albeit to good fighters in the form of Mak John Yap and Jonas Sultan, and is now looking to rebuild his career before being written off. Despite the set backs Ikemizu was the 2013 Bantamweight Rookie of the Year and has shown plenty of promise, though one wonders about his mental state. Jaipetch is expected to offer no resistance and will likely suffer his 5th stoppage loss.
Hyogo, Japan
There will also be a show in Hyogo, featuring no title action.
The main event of the show will see former Japanese title challenger Takumi Sakae (14-1-1, 9) face off with Ryoki Hirai (7-4-1, 3) as Sakae looks to end a bad year. Sakae began 2013 as a world ranked hopeful but a loss in a Japanese title fight with Tatsuya Fukuhara and a technical draw against Lito Dante has left him really needing to rebuild and a win over Hirai here would steady the ship leading into 2017. It looks like Hirai is a safe opponent for Sakae, with little to really test the youngster, but their will be questions about Sakae's confidence following the year he has had.
On the under-card wee see the once beaten Tetsu Araki (6-1-1) look to score a third straight win as he takes on Takuya Fujioka (7-5-1, 1) for the second time. This looks like a straight forward win for Araki, who's only loss was a razor thin set back to Tenta Kiyose in September 2015, however Fujioka did run Araki very close when the two men first fought back in July 2015.
Another notable under-card bout here will see Giraffe Kirin Kanda (7-2, 4) take on Shota Aikawa (5-6-2, 2) in an interesting looking contest. On paper Kanda will be the favoured fighter but he was stopped inside a round last December and has fought only a single round since that loss . Aikawa has lost his last 2, but will come in here looking to change that here against a possibly rusty Kanda.
Osaka, Japan
This coming Sunday sees Japanese attention turn to Osaka with the Sumiyoshi Ward Center playing host to two different shows, one after the other. The first is a Morioka card whilst the second is a Mutoh card.
To us the most interesting bout from the first show will see fast rising Japanese teenager Hinata Maruta (2-0, 1) go for his first professional title, as he faces unbeaten Filipino Wilbert Berondo (10-0, 4) for the WBC Youth Bantamweight title. The bout is, on paper, a huge step up for Berondo but the pressure will be on Maruta, who is tipped by many to be one of the next stars of Japanese boxing. Unfortunately very little is known about Berondo with even our Filipino friends admitting they know very little about him and the footage available shows a raw slugger.
Another interesting bout on this card will see Japanese based Korean fighter Teiru Atsumi (10-1, 4) battle Filipino visitor Dennis Tubieron (19-7-2, 8). Tubieron has been picking up losses recently, including a loss earlier this year to Ryosuke Iwasa. Atsumi is relatively unknown but impressed last time out when he stopped the touted Sho Nakazawa and some are suggesting he is one of the top two Korean prospects still in Asia, along with Ye Joon Kim. If he can add Tubieron to his record Atsumi really will be riding a high into the end of the year, and may well see his team try secure him a title fight in the near future.
Osaka, Japan
On the second card we have another title bout, but one that perhaps doesn't quite have the same excitement as the Maruta/Berondo bout.
This time it's the case of OPBF Light Middleweight champion Takayuki Hosokawa (28-10-4, 9) facing off against multi-time title challenger Koshinmaru Saito (23-8-1, 13). For Hosokawa this will be his first defense, following his career defining victory late last year against Dennis Laurente to claim the Oriental title. For Hosokawa a good performance here may help open the door to a world title fight, with the Japanese fighter very highly ranked by the IBF, however Saito enters this bout knowing this will be his last chance at winning a world title.
In a supporting bout fans will see former world title challenger Hirofumi Mukai (12-4-2, 2) battle against Ryotaro Kawabata (11-2-1, 5) in what is a really good, well matched contest. The bout sees two well matched men facing off in a bout that neither can really afford to lose. For Mukai the bout is his second since losing to Shohei Omori in a Japanese title fight whilst Kawabata looks to extend a 4 fight unbeaten run.
In a small step up the unbeaten Masahiro Sakamoto (7-0, 4) will be up against Il Che (7-11-5, 1). Che has lost his last 3, and only, has a single win in his last 8 but has proven to be a good test for prospects and gave Genki Hania Hanai a good run out back in March, we suspect the same will be the case here.
One fight we're not expecting to go the distance will see Japanese Middleweight puncher Koki Tyson (10-2-1, 10) face Korean Joon Yong Lee (5-4-3, 3). This will be Lee's second bout in Japan, following a loss in May to Ryosuke Maruki and although he went the distance, in a competitive bout with Maruki, we don't see him being able to take Tyson's power here.
March 2020

The History Of Life Insurance Settlements
Although the secondary market for life insurance is relatively new, the market was more than 100 years in the making. The life insurance settlement market would not have originated without a number of events, judicial rulings, and key individuals.
The U.S. Supreme Court case of Grigsby v. Russell, 222 U.S. 149 (1911) established a life insurance policy as private property, which may be assigned at the will of the owner. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes noted in his opinion that life insurance possessed all the ordinary characteristics of property, and therefore represented an asset that a policy owner may transfer without limitation. Wrote Holmes, "Life insurance has become in our days one of the best recognized forms of investment and self-compelled saving."
This opinion placed the ownership rights in a life insurance policy on the same legal footing as more traditional investment property, such as stocks and bonds. As with these other types of property, a life insurance policy could be transferred to another person at the discretion of the policy owner.
This decision established a life insurance policy as transferable property that contains specific legal rights, including the right to:
- Name the policy beneficiary
- Change the beneficiary designation (unless subject to restrictions)
- Assign the policy as collateral for a loan
- Borrow against the policy
- Sell the policy to another party
In the 1980s, the U.S. faced an AIDS epidemic. AIDS victims faced short life expectancies, and they often owned life insurance policies that they no longer needed. As a result, the viatical settlement industry emerged. A viatical settlement involves a terminally or chronically ill person, with less than two years life expectancy, who sells his or her existing life insurance policy to a third party for a lump sum. The third party becomes the new owner of the policy, pays the premiums, and receives the full death benefit when the insured dies. Because of medical advancements, people with AIDS started living longer and therefore viatical settlements became less profitable. As a result, the life settlement industry arose.
A life settlement is similar to a viatical settlement, but in a life settlement transaction, the insured is typically at least 65 years old and is not chronically or terminally ill.
In 2001, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") released the Viatical Settlements Model Act, which set forth guidelines for avoiding fraud and ensuring sound business practices. Around this time, many of the life insurance settlement providers that are prominent today began purchasing policies for their investment portfolio using institutional capital. The arrival of well-funded corporate entities transformed the settlement concept into a regulated wealth management tool for high-net-worth policy owners who no longer needed their policies.
On April 29, 2009, the United States Senate Special Committee on Aging conducted a study and came to the conclusion that life settlements, on average, yield eight times more than the cash surrender value offered by life insurance companies.
Give Global Life Settlements a call today to learn more about life insurance settlements and how you can find out how much your policy is worth.

Feedback for new CNAs has traditionally followed a tell-or-yell model. You know the old way of thinking: training doesn't get them ready for the real world. You don't have time to explain why what they are doing is wrong – they just need to do as you say – that type of thinking. To be sure, that may still happen out there, particularly when the going gets rough, but it should be the exception, rather than the rule.
The reality is that new CNAs, especially younger ones, come into our organizations expecting a feedback loop — and we owe it to them. Communication has to flow in both directions in order for relationships to flourish.
Let's think for a moment about the ramifications of continuing the tell-or-yell model in today's healthcare. We all have hard jobs – no doubt – but CNAs take on many heavy responsibilities – all to be performed for frail (and sometimes cranky) residents and in front of their families, peers, bosses, and heaven knows who else. In their first 90 days, most CNAs are scared to death at the enormity of it all. How we interact with CNAs in this early window directly impacts whether or not we build a CNA that can thrive in the fast-paced environment of long-term care.
Effective feedback loops do a variety of things you might not even realize:
- They are instrumental in enabling your new CNA to process information and learn your preferred way of doing things. They need to understand why your process is what it is so they can use their own decision-making skills for their next encounter. This, in turn, builds a more self-sufficient CNA.
- CNAs possess a unique view of your operation. Things that you don't even see, they pick up on quickly. It's a good idea to stop and consider what your CNA to say.
- QAPI requirements call for your CNAs to participate in problem-solving for the organization. They need to be taught what critical thinking means to a CNA and to be ready to apply problem-solving techniques daily.
- Healthy feedback loops break down barriers between management and staff. You need these lines of communication to be there to facilitate change of condition information flow – a high liability touchpoint.
- Healthy feedback loops foster a sense of teamwork peer to peer. If we teach our new hires good feedback practices with each other, we build a sense of community and culture that keeps our organizations going in good and bad times.
- They are one of the most effective ways to combat turnover and increase retention. We spend a third of our lives with our coworkers. Our relationships with others are a key determinant if we feel we're in the right place.
It is easy to take the path of least resistance and be directive, but harsh criticisms without explanations of why or how to do better act as a disservice to everyone.
Consider these best practices:
- Try to be private in your corrections and public in your praise. Unless life or limb is at stake, corrections across a room or down a hallway are not pretty for anyone.
- Even when providing corrective feedback, try to show rather than tell. It's more collaborative. "You didn't quite get x right. Let me show you how."
- Tone is everything. New hires are hyper aware of frustration in your voice or body language.
- Acknowledge all the steps in the process they have mastered when correcting a portion. In other words, let them know what they did well so that negative feedback is not all they hear.
- Ask for their "Do you see why it's done this way?" or "What would happen if we left x like that?" are some ways you can tie up a teaching conversation.
- Try striking up a conversation about some learning topic they have recently covered. "How would you apply what you've studied to x?" It does two things. It lets them know you are interested in what they are learning, and it sets the expectation that they might have a conversation with you at some point in the future, so remembering the training is important. Even with a simple compliance topic, you want them taking that knowledge out of the classroom onto the floor. Make that a habit and set that expectation.
- Take a deep breath before your interactions, even when you are crazy busy. Remember you are aiming to build someone who will want to work with you for the long term.
- If you do have to do a drive by correction and move on, make it a personal practice to take the time to go back and make sure they understood their mistake and talk about what happened. It lets them know you care about them and want them to do their best. It's what leaders do and managers forget.
We all want to work in organizations that respect our abilities. What we think and feel are as important as what we know and do. CNAs are no different.

I found this in a bookstore,it's lightweight wood and has a nice pie-de-poule pattern & cool retro look.
I was lucky with this one,cause it allready had a nice antique clasp but if yours doesnt come with one you can buy one from your local hardware store or even better you ll find some great ones on Etsy!!!
You also gonna need a handle.Mine was a typical round bamboo one that i saw in middle and then drill two holes (see pic) with a Black and Decker.But you can easily use any handle that fits your bag.
I personaly prefer bamboo o wood for an economical solution but my favourites are made from bakelite and lucite.There is a great variety of vintage and some contemporary hones with retro touch all over the internet!!!
I then cut a copper rod and gave a shape that you see in the photo above.
Make sure you leave enough space for your handle to move around.
Afterwards i measure the top of the box and i opened two opposite holes with the drill.
I 've painted the bamboo handle with a darker gloss paint to fit the colors of the purse and im also planning to put some fabric lining on the interior!
A swell & easy way to add some glamour to your wordrobe with a small amount of money!
Hope you like it!!!!

|Accident date
|17 Dec 1995

|Cessna T210M
|Additional details:
History of Flight
On December 17, 1995, approximately 1340 Pacific standard time, N732TA, a Cessna T210M, was destroyed when it descended steeply into the ocean near Netarts, Oregon. The private pilot, who was the sole occupant, was fatally injured in the crash. The aircraft was on an instrument flight plan, and had departed Pacific City, Oregon, en route to Pearson Air Park, Vancouver, Washington. There was no fire and there was no report of an ELT actuating.
The pilot had filed an obtained a preflight weather briefing from McMinnville Flight Service Station (FSS) at 1104, for an IFR flight from Pacific City, Oregon, to Pearson Air Park. At 1255, the pilot filed an IFR flight plan with McMinnville Flight Service Station for the flight.
At 1335:35, N732TA attempted to make contact with Seattle Center air traffic control (ATC), but did not acknowledge the ATC controller's response.
At 1337:40, N732TA acknowledged Seattle Center's call. The controller issued the aircraft transponder code 4624, which was acknowledged.
At 1338:08, the controller identified N732TA by radar 11 miles north of Pacific City and requested an altitude check. N732TA's pilot replied that he was leveling off at 5000 feet above mean sea level (MSL).
At 1338:16, the controller cleared N732TA to Pearson Air Park and issued a clearance to climb to 6000 feet MSL. The clearance was read back at 1338:35. There were no further communications from N732TA.Radar data indicates that the aircraft was at 4900 feet MSL at 1338:08, 5000 feet MSL at 1338:20, 4800 feet MSL at 1338:31, 4800 feet at 1338:44, and 4300 feet MSL at 1338:55 (which was the last radar plot with a transponder readout).
Sometime between 1338:16 and 1340:19, the controller noted that he was receiving no transponder return from N732TA, and requested that the pilot reset his transponder. There was no response to the controller's repeated attempts to regain contact.
The aircraft was observed by witnesses before (and as) it descended into the ocean. The witnesses described the aircraft's maneuvers as if the pilot was performing stunts, before they saw it in a near vertical descent. The witnesses did not view the impact, as it was obscured by a sand spit between them and the impact. The crash site was in the immediate vicinity of the last radar target plots.
Personnel Information
The pilot's logbooks were not located.
Aircraft Information
The aircraft logbooks were not located.
Meteorological Information
At 1346, Newport, Oregon, weather, about 64 miles south of the accident site, was 1000 feet estimated broken, 2000 feet overcast, 7 miles visibility, with winds of 7 knots from 110 degrees.
At 1356, Astoria, Oregon, weather, about 43 miles north of the accident site, was measured 2100 feet overcast, 2 miles visibility with light rain and fog, temperature 45, dew point 44, winds 8 knots from 080 degrees.
At 1348, Hillsboro, Oregon, weather, about 50 miles east of the accident site, was measured 2400 feet overcast, 2 miles visibility with light rain and fog, 42 degrees temperature, dew point 41, winds at 6 knots from 090 degrees.
Wreckage and impact information
The wreckage was located about 100 yards offshore. The aircraft was destroyed by impact and wave and tide forces. The wreckage was pulled near shore by Tillamook County authorities, who documented the wreckage by photographs. The site was accessed the day after the accident by Safety Board and FAA personnel, who inspected the remains of the aircraft, which had been further destroyed by wave and tide action.
The engine, whose propeller had separated at the crankshaft flange, was pulled up on the beach and inspected. The vacuum pump drive coupling remained intact. The vacuum pump vanes were intact, however the rotor had a radial crack.
The left main landing gear was determined to have been in the retracted position. The left wing was found with the flap and aileron separated. The spar carrythrough remained in one piece. All recovered control cables that were separated had sustained what appeared to be tensile overload. The aircraft was equipped with a Robertson STOL conversion. The left hand elevator was missing, half of the right-hand elevator remained.
The throttle was full forward, the propeller control was 1/2 inch back of full forward, the mixture control was rich. The magneto key was found, but position was not determined.
Medical and Pathological Information
An autopsy was performed by Dr. Edward F. Wilson, Portland, Oregon. Toxicological testing was conducted by the FAA, with results determined to be negative.
Additional data/Information
The wreckage was released on the scene on December 18, 1996 to the Cape Lookout State Park manager.
a loss of control for undetermined reasons.

Residents held a party after their 'neighbour from hell' was evicted from a house that was left needing £25,000 worth of repairs.
Katie Bentley left her Bransholme home, which she rented from P&J Properties, needing desperate work after her landlord Phil Withnall spent months desperately trying to get her evicted.
There were holes in the walls, smashed up windows, ripped up floorboards and mounds of rubbish in multiple rooms, prompting Mr Withnall to eventually get her kicked out through the High Court.
Miss Bentley was evicted in March following a lengthy battle with her landlord and neighbours said they would throw a party if she ever left.
And on Saturday, neighbours kept their promise by getting the whole community together for a 'Getting Our Street Back Party'.
A 57-year-old woman, who helped to organise the celebrations, said: 'We're having a big barbecue, we've got a bouncy castle and we've got kids' games after collecting £85 from residents.
'It has been absolutely great [since Miss Bentley left]. It's lovely – we can sleep on a night and it's just great.Three Tube lines causing major 'concern' during coronavirus pandemic
'Everyone is so relieved and it means the kids can play out in the street with no backlash off her.'
When residents first raised concerns about Miss Bentley, she claimed her house was targeted by 'smackheads' while she was in prison in October 2018.
She said: 'I went to jail in October for a week for failing to surrender because I didn't want to hand myself in to the police.
'While I was in prison my windows got smashed by smackheads. All the loud noises the neighbours hear is me getting beaten up. It's me shouting for help.
'I've not been staying at this house. I've been staying anywhere I can because I've been too scared to go back to the house.
'People go round and let themselves in because the landlord won't secure the locks. They climb in and out and they have nicked all my baby's toys.'
She was 'upset' after finding out about the animosity on the estate and said in January 2019 that she had gone teetotal and had stopped taking drugs in order to make her life more stable.How to make a silent call to police when your life is in danger
Speaking at the time, she said: 'I'm upset [about my neighbours] because they are my friends. They don't know what is going on.
'They've got their children and they are going to be scared – I would if it were my children. I'm getting my landlord round because he is offering me to move out.
'I've been in McDonald's to use the wifi to try and find a flat somewhere because I'm not doing drugs anymore and I need somewhere I can go where I'm safe.'
The 57-year-old resident, who was one of many to complain about Miss Bentley's behaviour, said since she left the house, they had problems with break-ins until the house was boarded up.
However, she now understands that Miss Bentley is doing well for herself after moving to a different area of Hull and she wished her the best of luck for the future.
She said: 'We've had more problems since she went.
'We've had people trying to break into the house and someone smashed up all the windows again.
'Katie has turned her life around. We've heard she is doing well and wish her good luck because that is what she needs.'

Not vested. From CIMB:-
Cutting forecasts.
We are cutting our FY08-10 forecasts for Lian Beng by 11-60% to account for risks in its property development profits, which stem from projects such as Lincoln Lodge and Kovan Road, where benchmark transacted prices have fallen below breakeven costs.
In addition, we factor in cost inflation on construction materials, especially from FY09 onwards, which would erode margins. This is despite the fact that LBG has an order book of over S$700m.
Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform; target price reduced.
We previously used sum-of-the-parts analysis to arrive at a target price of S$1.32 for Lian Beng.
Now that its properly development profits are unlikely to materialise in the next two years, we have changed our valuation methodology to 8x CY09 P/E, or a 20% discount to our targets for industry peers. On our reduced EPS estimates, our new target price is S$0.38. Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform.

What is the Tiny House Movement?
Put simply, it's about simple living in small homes. It's cheap, creative and better for the environment. It's been a passion of mine for a while. The movement is making strides in the USA and is building momentum here in the UK too.
Why did I live in a converted horsebox?
As usual, when met with a problem to solve, I like to choose the path less trodden. (I like a good bit of mud in my boots.) So, my best mate Remy and I converted a horsebox into a beautiful Tiny House; something that wouldn't look out of place in George Clarke's Amazing Spaces. .
Sometimes I am an actor. Regular unemployment means it's sort of like my hobby.
I am currently touring a production of Mike Leigh's, Abigail's Party.
When actors go on tour, each theatre they visit gives them a 'digs list'. A 'digs list', is a list of nearby, vetted rooms available to rent for the short term period you are employed at the theatre. First stop Derby.
Each landlord/ lady gets a few sentences to sell you their spare room. That's all well and good... until one look at Google maps shows they are miles and miles away from the theatre. After a few minutes of reading the dig blurbs for Derby and seeing stuff like "No use of the family kitchen but access to a microwave" I decided to check out the options available on airbnb.
No joke, Airbnb hasn't reached Derby... at least not for my chosen search. The nearest Airbnb is in Sheffield. 40 odd miles away. So with an obsessive addiction to cooking on a flame and only using microwaves when on a boogie board, I came up with a plan...
Plan = live in a horsebox while on tour.
To do list:
1) Get a horsebox.
2) Live in it.
Luckily my best mate, Remy has a horsebox and even luckily'er he has put a small double mattress in, above the driver's cabin.
Remy, like me, loves a bootsale and a salvage. Remy has cobbled together a basic rustic kitchen: with an old carpenters work bench, a small butler sink and a beautiful old copper tea urn. The tea urn works as a small water tank to supply water to the sink.
There is a three burner hob for all my cooking needs. This is where I will heat water for washing up etc. He's also done some really great decorating. He painted the inside of the horsebox a warm off-white and has sliced 10mm discs of wood and tacked them onto the wall.
Remy and his partner Tammy have only ever used the horsebox for a couple of nights' stay maximum and always in a campsite. Whereas I will be on the road for 2 months and won't be able to plug into campsite's electricity or water or make use of the bathrooms!
I've already lived on a boat so I've done the right rehearsal period for this project.
Next stage is to turn Remy's short-break-shelter, into a long-term-alternative-abode. Water above all else is the resource I need to pack the horsebox full of. I will also need to build a (composting) toilet. And clever storage solutions for food and clothes. My gypsy blood and boat training, means heating is way down on my list of priorities. I'm starting this adventure in fair weather and ending it in late November so heating might become a problem...
What? How does a composting loo work, I hear you cry? Basically the solids and fluids are separated by a 'urine divider' which means after a sprinkling of saw dust, there is no smell!
After a few breakages, during a couple of short trips in the horsebox to buy supplies, I realised the importance of screwing everything down or up. I want to be able to get on the road without having to put everything into boxes. I've screwed jars to the underneath of the table and realised a mere hook doesn't do the job to secure a hanging object, I've used eyelet hooks and carabina clips.
Space at an absolute premium I had to solve the: Where to put a month's worth of clothes without living out of a suitcase, riddle... This is what I came up with: individual tote bags, all labelled for the different clothes types.
(J=Jumpers, Ts=T-shirts, &=Socks and Pants, BOT=Bottoms, W=Washing)
Writing isn't my strong point, so apologise for all the mistakes, especially with tenses. I am writing this at the end of my trip in Derby and all the prep of getting the Horsebox ship shape was worth it. I have absolutely LOVED Derby and living in the horsebox. Here are a selection of pics of me enjoying it...
As you can see, I basically just cook, then eat, all day. For a few hours a day, I do have to drag myself away from the horsebox, if only to charge my devices, OH and do a bit of acting... but I've found the dressing room a great place to do work for BOOM DONE.
Anyone wondering if BOOM DONE SHOP is still open, it is. I do all the digital stuff remotely in Horsebox HQ and my amazing Mum does the post.
If you want extra information about the Tiny House Movement, take a look at this blog I wrote before.
Thank you for reading this.
Love Liam

Corporation officials carried out a major encroachment removal drive in and around the Subramaniaswamy Temple at Tirupparankundram on Wednesday.
Besides evicting few shops that had occupied the space adjacent to the temple on the Big Car Street, they removed the sunshades and temporary shelters put up by the shopkeepers and residents that encroached upon the streets.
The Corporation Commissioner, R. Nanthagopal, in a statement said, that the structures put up in front of the buildings were removed following receipt of complaints that they posed hurdle for traffic.
The Commissioner inspected the eviction drive conducted by the City Town Planning Officer, M. Rakkappan, along with engineers.
The officials also removed several shops selling flowers, garlands and other puja articles with earth movers.
Meanwhile, a group of residents and shopkeepers complained that the officials swung into action without giving any prior notice.
They were pacified by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam councillor M.L. Raj.
The residents also complained that the Corporation officials were concentrating on eviction rather than providing drinking water to the people of the locality.
An elderly woman was among many who complained to the officials that drinking water had not been supplied for the last one week.
Among those who were present were the Assistant Commissioner, A. Devadoss, Assistant Executive Engineers, Palanichamy, I. Renganathan, Narayanan and Muthukumar.
A large posse of policemen accompanied the Corporation officials during the eviction drive.

Mother's Love Welfare Centre in Daltongani serves to bring light into the dark experiences of India's disabled, disadvantaged and destitute people. The focus of their program is on helping vulnerable women and children of all creeds and races through the provision of pre- and post-natal care support for women experiencing abuse, and the care and education of orphaned and abandoned children.
A regular stream of the marginalised, incuding leprosy sufferers, widows, abused women, and children who have been orphaned or abandoned, come needing help. During a sharp cold winter 200 warm blankets were provided to those who might otherwise have died from exposure. College fees were provided for one highly intelligent girl and boy, who were too poor to afford a higher education.
'The Ruth Acadamy' (named after Ruth Skillicom, a former SA missionary) exists for desitute children, who otherwise would end up as beggars. Clothing and education is a priority for the extremely poor and opressed. Slates, books and pencils are provided along with wall charts and a blackboard. Currently only 35 boys and girls can be accommodated in the small room hired in a mud house in the village. In the future we hope to have our own school building.
Two of the children in our care include Shreya, a six year old girl with leukaemia and an eight year old boy, Dhiraj, with right-side paralysis. Shreya's chemotherapy is costly. For Dhiraj we provide physiotherapy, glasses and surgery for his crossed eyes.
Thanks to our partnership with GMP we have solved the problem of a falling subterranean water table with a deep tube-well and submersible pump. Please prayerfully remember us as our area is prone to Naxalite (Communist guerrilla) terrorism.

The Prettybads Are Pretty Damn Good!
By William Pace
The Prettybads have signed with Thumper Punk Records and are now working on recording their new full-length album, shooting for a release date of Summer 2018. The band has quite a unique sound all their own. You can definitely hear one of their biggest influences, the Ramones, in their music. They've been at it since 2012 and I think they'll be around for quite a while. I'm looking forward to what this new album next year will bring. You can find them on bandcamp.com where they have the new demo track listed below along with a track they put out last January called "Werewolf." They have an old-school punk vibe mixed with some new age grooves. Do yourself a favor and check out this up and coming band.
The Prettybads are:
Kayla Prettybad
Jordan Prettybad
Ben Bravo
Devin Smitherines
The Prettybads start from a base of Ramones-esque three-chord punk, then layers on top their own unique sci-fi, doo-wop, surf, horror, and bubblegum pop influences. Their current demo of "Maybe I'm Not The One You Wanted" is available for streaming and free download hosted by IndieVisionMusic at:

Good Tuesday to one and all. Some big time thunderstorms rumbled across the region on Monday. These bad boys put down a ton of large hail and caused some minor wind damage. We have a small break in the action the next few days, but more storms are lurking later in the week.
Highs today will top out in the upper 60s to low 70s with a mix of sun and clouds. Isolated storms will also be possible:
Wednesday looks like a decent weather day with partly sunny skies and temps in the 60s. That takes us to the end of the week and another potent storm system moving in here from the southwest.
This system is being pushed by a strong upper level low that can create strong and severe storms ahead of it:
That action shows up well on the GFS for Thursday and Friday:
This setup will continue to throw similar systems our way over the next few weeks. As I've been saying for a while now, this is a very stormy spring we are entering into.
Have a great day and take care.

INTERVIEW by ZAK SLOMAN
Hey Gigantic are a four-piece from London. They draw inspiration from an eclectic range of genres to craft an alternative/indie rock sound full of energy, which should appeal most to fans of The Dangerous Summer, Deaf Havana, and Lonely The Brave.
Having recently brought out a new single, 'Passenger', which the quartet say is the first to fully capture the loudness and fun of their live shows, I chatted with them about all of this and more.
How did the band form?
Hey Gigantic was started in South London. A few of us had been at uni together, as well as school many years before that, and when we all moved to London for work years later, we decided to start jamming some ideas. The main reason initially was to just hang out with mates, talk about music, have a laugh and drink a few beers.
We've been messing around with ideas since 2013, but we only really started to become focused on it in the last couple of years, as people started to take an interest and we realised that people were actually hearing the songs you had written in a dank old practice room, which was always awesome!
How did the name Hey Gigantic come about?
We were originally called Journals and it just didn't seem quite right, we wanted a name that was abstract and had no meaning to it, then, while listening to The Pixies, it hit us! Their two songs played back-to-back, 'Hey' and 'Gigantic'… and that was that!
What would you say was your approach to songwriting?
Each song is different, some start with a guitar idea and then it builds from there. A few have started from lyrical ideas, and we've then built the song around them, that was kind of the case for 'Passenger'.
It started with lyrics loosely built around the metaphor of travel and movement, and the instrumentation of the song mirrored that with a driving tempo and energy to match.
What inspires the band lyrically?
Lyrically, all the themes are pretty much about day-to-day stuff, emotional experiences and interactions that hopefully people can relate to or find their own interpretation of.
Perhaps not all the themes are obvious, but it's always interesting to hear people put their own spin on it.
Your new single, 'Passenger', was premiered recently on BBC Introducing from Essex. What can the band's fan base expect from it?
It's a continuation of our style for sure, still blending punk, indie and hardcore references, but I think the composition is more considered and simplified. The production is definitely better than anything we have released previously, we got to play around with tones and textures more to give it a more live sounding feel.
Thanks largely to Neil Kennedy (Milk Teeth, Creeper) at Ranch Production House in Southampton for his expert ear when it came to amps and pedals. It was an awesome experience.
And will the single lead to another EP or album at all?
We've got a few songs from the same recording session as 'Passenger' that we did back in the summer, it's just deciding how best to release them, maybe an EP or maybe just release them as singles…You'll just have to wait and see.
How is the experience, for the band, of playing live?
Live shows are the whole reason to be in a band, to play loud, and feel the energy of a crowd. So our shows are just that, loud, energetic and fun!
What have you got planned going into 2018?
To release more new music! And also, to get back to playing live shows, it's been ages! We can confirm we'll be supporting Faux and Polary at their London (Old Blue Last – 29th Jan) and Brighton (Sticky Mikes Frog Bar – 31st Jan) shows!
It's so great to be supporting upcoming UK bands like these guys, who are both awesome! We can't wait!

Hello Friends and Readers,
I want to thank my good friend, Ruth Hammons, for sharing this piece with me ! Salute !
There is a splendid point, and a learning moment in this article, in that we can all learn a special lesson about the "Bullies, Dictators, and Strong Men," in the world, that they are nothing new under the sun, and have always been here with us. But even if the Good Man doesn't stand up to push off the attackers, God still sees all these things, and He doesn't forget ! ! And that surely goes for the rest of us human beings, past, preset and future !
Do the wicked or even Satan really get away with their evil works ? Just read the 2 books of Ecclesiastes and Revelation, to figure that question out. Rev., says that Satan, his demons, and all the wicked will eventually be pitched into the "Lake of Fire" that burns forever. Well, that is not what I would call a "party" or a happy ending !
So, you might say that it's so hard to do the right thing, and you might even get hurt doing it. But with the help of the Holy Spirit, people can and do change. I have to ask forgiveness for my sins every night before I go to sleep, but I feel that I am growing in the Grace of the Lord, more so, every day, and I am trying to do better. And think, that those who didn't have the patience to put up with me, missed out on a good thing, as I am now happy and very generous, to a fault. I feel that I have many friends, am respected, loved and cherished by many. I know that I must continue in my walk of life --- but I also believe that something HUGE will happen in the near future -- that will change EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD ! Dear Friends, Please take the time to watch and hear this great, interesting Video:
Just grow some patience like I had to, settle down, get comfortable for some 30 minutes and LEARN something great ! but keep things in prospective.... that the man is NOT setting some DATE in time, but educating you ! ! Learn and study the good, important things in life, and I promise that you will find enrichment, wisdom and faith. Not to worry, there is time enough for all of the other mundane things in life that robs our time, like TV, radio, and Liberal stupidity ! Half of the so-called, 'News' are lies and B.S., anyway, but the Bible is a place you will get the real truth that can and will "set you free" from the bondage of men's lies and evil. So... do yourself and your friends a favor by listening to the Video and then pass it on to your friends and email buddies, please.
Warm Regards,
Tom Schuckman
"Iron sharpens Iron."
"The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church." – Tertullian
Once again, the holiest week of the Christian calendar has begun with an attack on the Body of Christ in the form of two bomb blasts at Palm Sunday events in Egypt. One of the more striking images shows the blood of the martyrs splattered across the floor of a Coptic Church.
Currently, the death toll stands at 49, according to Egyptian state media reports. 18 people were killed in a blast in Alexandria, while at least 27 were killed and 78 injured in an explosion in a church in the northern city of Tanta.
ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, issuing a statement in Arabic in its wake, saying: "The Crusaders and their apostate followers must be aware that the bill between us and them is very large, and they will be paying it like a river of blood from their sons, if God is willing."
These actions ought to fill all people of good will with sorrow and righteous anger for the souls taken from this world. The blood of the innocents has once again been spilled, and this injustice cries out to God.
This, like other attempts to attack Christians as they worship, is as quixotic as it is detestable; If there ever were a thought that could be described as being on the "wrong side of history," it is the idea that somehow martyrdom will somehow weaken the Christian faith.
Of course, this isn't happening in a vacuum. Christian persecution is on the rise on the global stage and now three quarters of the world's population lives without the fundamental human freedom to believe, according to European Union Special Envoy Jan Figel in October on the International Day of Freedom of Religion or Belief.
"Therefore, those who believe that humanity should prevail can, and should do, much more for freedom of religion," Figel told Premier Christian Radio last year. "We are witnesses of a systematic and mass murder, martyrdom and persecution on several territories."
Even a casual observer of global headlines cannot deny that these new Egyptian martyrs are not alone.
However, regardless of what engine of persecution brings torment or what form it takes, we all suffer together when the dictates of the human conscience are trod underfoot.
What's puzzling is what these oppressors plan to achieve with attacks like these. Their motivation has to be either rooted in arrogance or ignorance. Do the attackers believe that these attempts will prove more successful than the two thousand years of even worse persecution? Are these two IEDs more potent that the persecutions of Nero and Diocletian? Do they believe themselves more ferocious than the communists, fascists, and countless others that came before them in the 20th century alone?
Last year, when a similar blast in Pakistan carried out by similarly barbaric actors punctuated the news of Easter weekend, I referenced the masterful portrayal of Monsignor O'Flaherty in the 1983 film, "The Scarlet and the Black." These words seem just as poignant now as they were then – perhaps even more.
When confronting SS officer Herbert Kappler in the dead of night in the ruins of the Roman Coliseum, O'Flaherty give the Nazi operative a quick history lesson:
Kappler: There will be a new order in Europe. We are evacuating Rome now, but that means nothing. We'll be back. The Third Reich is the future.
O'Flaherty: How many murderous dictators have taught that kind of rubbish? Just look around you, Kappler. You're standing where your ancient friends used to entertain themselves, watching lions tear the Christians to pieces. But the Church is still here. A lot of broken stones like these, in a few years that's all that'll be left of your 'Third Reich.'
Time proved the good Monsignor right. Kappler's murderous ideology and all those like him now sit smoldering on the ash heap of history; in time, the same will be true for the thugs who detonated those bombs in Egypt over the weekend.
The Church, however, will be just fine – just as She always has been.

Your scholarship application is complete. All that's left is your letter of recommendation. Your work is done, right?
Actually, no. Even though you don't write the letter, you're responsible for making sure it gets written. And there's a lot you can do to ensure it's the best letter possible.
Who Should Recommend You?
The best recommendations come from people who have worked closely with you and who understand the goals of the award for which you are applying. Teachers and professors are excellent sources, but also consider previous employers, coaches, clergy members and community leaders.
Pick someone who can address the award's special criteria or the sponsoring organization's particular interests. For example, the director of the homeless shelter you volunteer at would be a great reference for an award sponsored by a community service group.
It's also important that the letter writer can write well, and in particular, write well about you. If they are evasive when you ask them to write you a letter, or seem uncomfortable or unenthused, maybe you should ask someone else. Ask them if they can write you a good letter of recommendation, and if not, who they would suggest you should ask.
Don't ask a family member for a recommendation. Their praise won't have the credibility to impress the admissions staff.
When to Ask for a Recommendation Letter
In most cases, you'll ask for recommendations as you need them; for example, when you apply for college or scholarships. But you should also plan ahead. Start by making a list of potential letter-writers, including names, addresses, e-mail and phone numbers.
Next, compile a file of letters before you need them, especially once you've started college. Ask for letters right after you've finished a course with a professor who likes your work. If you wait until you need the letter (maybe two or three years down the line), you risk losing it because the professor doesn't remember you.
Some colleges can help by maintaining a dossier, or official letter file. When requested, letters from your dossier are sent directly and (if you waive your right to see them) can carry more weight with the judges because they know the recommender was able to express his or her true opinion.
Make It Easy
The people writing your recommendations are doing you a favor, so make it easy for them by being polite and organized. Here's how:
- Provide ample time for the letter to be written. Give at least three weeks advance notice.
- Make a formal request. Schedule an appointment to discuss the recommendation fully.
- Supply your recommender with as much information as possible, including:
- Your correct contact information (your full name as it appears on the application, address, email and phone number).
- Materials/information needed for the application, including two copies of any forms the recommender is to fill out (for a "rough draft" and a "final draft"); the full title and description of the award; the correct name, title and mailing address of the recipient; a copy of your completed scholarship application/essay; complete instructions on how the letters should be handled; and correct deadline information.
- Information about your achievements such as your transcripts, your resume, and reminders of your past work with the recommender (e.g. a description of coursework, a copy of an essay or class project, etc.).
If you're concerned that your recommender has forgotten your letter, gracefully remind them by asking if they need more information.
Once your letter's been sent, be sure to send a thank-you note to your recommender.
It's a lot to keep in mind, but all this work should produce a great letter of recommendation. Which means you can ... whew! ... breathe easier.

I noticed a line in an episode of the American drama Manifest:
"If you needed a double to get over it, I'm guessing the hearing didn't go that well."
said by a man's colleague, while he was sitting beside the bar table, drinking one glass of wine.
So what does "a double" mean here? Since what he held was just one glass of wine.

Rebecca Humphries spectacularly dumps Seann Walsh on Twitter after THAT kiss with Katya Jones
Strictly Come Dancing's Seann Walsh has been sensationally dumped on twitter by his former girlfriend Rebecca Humphries.
The actress says in a statement that she had believed "something inappropriate" was going on between Walsh and dance partner Katya Jones for three weeks.
The pair were recorded on camera "snogging like a pair of teenagers" and apologised after The Sun published the video on Monday.
But shockingly, Rebecca has revealed that the 'drunken' kiss happened on her birthday.
Speaking via her personal Twitter page (see image below), Rebecca said she was alone at home when Seann, 32, rang and told her he was going for an 'innocent' drink with the married Strictly pro dancer.
And when she raised her suspicions, he called her "psycho", "nuts" and "mental" for suggesting anything was going on.
She said: "Those pictures were taken on October 3rd. It was my birthday. I was alone at home when Sean texted at 10pm saying that the two of them were going for one innocent drink.
"We spoke and I told him, not for the first time, that his actions over the past two weeks has led me to believe something inappropriate was going on.
"He aggressively, and repeatedly, called me a psycho / nuts / mental. As he has done countless times throughout our relationship when I've questioned his inappropriate, hurtful behaviour."
Despite her heartbreak, Rebecca refuses to be a "victim".
She said: "But - this whole business has served to remind me that I am a strong, capable person who is now free: and no victim.
"I have a voice and will use it by saying this to any woman out there who deep down feels worthless and trapped with a man they love: Believe in yourself and your instincts.
"It's more than lying. It's controlling. Tell some very close friends who, if they're anything like my wonderful network, will swoop in and take care of the logistics and of you.
"It's important also to recognise that in these situations those who hold power over you are insecure and fragile and the need for control comes from a place of vulnerability. I think it certainly does in Sean's case."
She signs it off adding: "Despite everything I hope he gets what he wants from this. I'm not sorry I took the cat, though."
Walsh is odds-on at 1/2 with Coral to be the third celebrity to be eliminated from the BBC Once dancing show.
