Q: PHP Get text before and after a certain word or phrase I have emails coming into a mailbox and i am using the PHP function imap_open to get the emails.
every email looks like:
You have a new message from 447*** saying Thank you. :)
You may reply to this email and it will be converted into an SMS text message!
If you need replies back to your email to SMS messages then either purchase a dedicated reply number, or set your default sendername to Simple Replies (Settings->E2S)
Type ## at the end of the reply to prevent unwanted text being converted (e.g. signature, advert, disclaimers, previous reply text).
Many thanks, the Textlocal.com team.*
so i want to get the actual message. in the above example the message is:
Thank you :)

how can i get just this part of the email?

A: Assuming the prefix/suffix to each message is a constant number of characters... (as you stated in your question)
This is a q&d answer so I won't count the exact number of chars int he two strings. Let's say there are 10 chars in the first string to strip, and 150 in the second. The chars in between are your message:

$msg = 'You have a new message from 447*** saying Thank you. :) You may reply to this email and it will be converted into an SMS text message! If you need replies back to your email to SMS messages then either purchase a dedicated reply number, or set your default sendername to Simple Replies (Settings->E2S) Type ## at the end of the reply to prevent unwanted text being converted (e.g. signature, advert, disclaimers, previous reply text). Many thanks, the Textlocal.com team.*';

$msg = substr(substr($msg, 0, -150),10);

echo $msg;

If the number of chars is not constant, then you must first use strpos() to find the position where the desired part of the message begins/ends, and then use those figures in the code above.

Okay, I had to test this, so I ended up counting them. The operative line is:
$msg = substr(substr($msg, 0, -417), 42);

A: Without using regular expressions :
$message = "You have a new message..."; // this is the message you receive.

$par1 = explode("saying ", $message); // temp variable

$par2 = explode(" You may reply", $par1[1]); // another temp variable

$text = $par2[0]; // this is the text you wanted to get.

par1 and par2 aren't necessary, a single one-liner like
$text = explode(" You may reply", explode("saying ", $message)[1])[0];

works fine on my side but it looks like your text editor somehow finds a syntax error in there, so I updated my code.

A: It's possible to escape the message with double quotes(") or any other symbols. That makes parsing a bit easier. Example:
$string = 'You have a new message from 447*** saying "Thank you. :)" You may reply...';

$string = explode('"', $string);

echo $string[1];

It returns Thank you :).

A: You can use a regular expression for this:
$pattern = '~message from \d{6} saying (.*) You may~';
if(preg_match($pattern, $text, $matches)) {
    $message = $matches[1];
}

echo $message;

In the above regex, \d{6} is supposed to match the phone number. 6 needs to be changed accordingly.
Outputs:
Thank you. :)

Home Dispatches Rabbits, Endangered Rhinos, and the Dallas Safari Club
Rabbits, Endangered Rhinos, and the Dallas Safari Club
by Jim Hightower
Have you ever heard of the rabbit hunter's nightmare? A guy dreams that he and a few of his buddies have fanned out across some brushland to scare-up and shoot a few hares. They kill a couple, but then, one of the hunting buddies who'd headed down a slope into a thicket on the right suddenly comes bolting up the slope, all wild-eyed and screaming at the others: "Run, run -- the rabbits have guns!"
I thought of this recalibration of the hunting equation when I read that an outfit called the "Dallas Safari Club" had come up with a truly-novel idea for saving Namibia's rare Black Rhinoceros, which is teetering on the edge of extinction. Several hundred thousand of these unique animals existed a century ago, but only 1,800 remain in this African nation today.
So, thinking waaaay out of the box, the safari club says it will contribute to the Black Rhino conservation cause by auctioning off to one of the club's lucky members the chance to [WARNING: The following could make your head explode] go to Namibia with a really big gun, and shoot one of the magnificent, endangered creatures dead. Yes, to save the black rhino, kill it.
The safari club's chieftain says that both the Namibian government and our own Fish & Wildlife agency have okayed the kill. He claims that safari enthusiasts will bid as much as a million bucks to be the one to pull the trigger. And, yes the head of the deceased will be severed, stuffed, mounted, and shipped back to the US as a trophy for the shooter's den. To the club's credit, every dime from the auction will go to -- oh, the irony! -- Namibia's Black Rhino Conservation Fund.
Back to the rabbit scenario, wouldn't the club's big game safari be fairer if high-powered guns were barred, and the winning bidder had to try executing the rhino with a Swiss Army Knife?

The Cruel Sea (1953)
Drama, War
Charles Frend
Jack Hawkins, Donald Sinden, John Stratton, Denholm Elliott, John Warner, Stanley Baker, Bruce Seton, Virginia McKenna
Captain Jack and the Compass Rose
With the war going on veteran Commander Ericson (Jack Hawkins) is assigned to command the HMS Compass Rose, a brand new ship with a crew of inexperienced sailors and wet behind the ears officers straight out of training. As they set about the job of rescuing survivors and trying to destroy German U-Boats a bond forms between Ericson and his No. 1 Lockhart (Donald Sinden). But it is not only the U-Boats they have to fear as the stormy oceans cause just as many problems as does what waits them back on dry land as the Nazi's bomb Britain.
Post World War II there were many war movies being made and whilst the stories were often commendable it was also often the case they had similar stories with the same sorts of characters. An exception to the rule is "The Cruel Sea" because it's not your stereotypical war movie and to be honest not what you would expect from Ealing Studios either. Instead of being a story about the daring action which men went through in order to defeat the enemy "The Cruel Sea" is about the people who served and how war affected them. And as such whilst "The Cruel Sea" takes us aboard a military vessel which ventures into dangerous water and ends up fighting the Germans it is a movie built on the characters rather than the action.
Initially "The Cruel Sea" looks like it will be about the trials and tribulations which befall Cmdr. Ericson as he takes command of the HMS Compass Rose and a bunch of officers and sailors who have little experience. But it doesn't take long for you to realise that this war movie whilst embracing the troubles is not focussed on that alone but delivering a story based on characters. As such a big part of the movie revolves around the bond which forms between Ericson and his stand in No. 1 Lockhart, who becomes a loyal friend to his superior as he learns from him. It's both very real and fascinating as we watch Lockhart develop from this wet behind the ears young man into a solid leader of men.
But "The Cruel Sea" doesn't just focus on Ericson and Lockhart as we also learn how for Officer Morell war leads to marital issues between him as his show girl wife. And on top of this it also embraces the loss these men felt when they returned home to discover the terrible devastation due to the Nazi bombing campaign, which in turn led to some men to try and stay away from becoming romantically involved. All of this and much more makes "The Cruel Sea" a much more personal account of war, dealing with human emotions and friendships rather than the action which generally filled other war movies of the era.
Having said that "The Cruel Sea" is most definitely not devoid of action as not only do we see the men bombing German U-Boats but also picking up survivors of destroyed ships. But whilst the action is impressive especially with a U-Boat bombing scene which is drenched in stellar atmosphere the focus of the action is on the emotional impact. There is an amazingly powerful scene where the HMS Compass Rose is headed towards a group of survivors floating in the sea but the radar is showing that beneath them is a German submarine. The pain of the dilemma which Ericson goes through in deciding whether he should save a handful of men or try and blow up a German sub is amazing. But that is not the only scene and later on in the movie the impact which this war at sea has on both Ericson and Lockhart makes for another tense, action filled scene.
Being a movie which is more about the characters than the action it takes strong performances to get it right and in Jack Hawkins and Donald Sinden "The Cruel Sea" comes up trumps. Whilst there are plenty of impressive performances through out such as Denholm Elliott as Morell, Stanley Baker as Bennett and Virginia McKenna as Julie Hallam it is Hawkins and Sinden whose performances command the movie. Hawkins as Ericson is on stunning form especially towards the latter part of the movie as the strain of war starts to show itself, making him tense and agitated. And Donald Sinden throughout as Lockhart is his equal delivering that aspect of loyalty, respect and friendship which makes watching Ericson and Lockhart so fascinating.
What this all boils down to is that "The Cruel Sea" is a surprisingly good movie and stands out as something a bit special when it comes to the war movies which focus on World War II. It's the emotional and personal look at war which makes it so captivating as we follow the men aboard the HMS Compass Rose.

Shirin Akter Shela's journey to Miss Universe 2019
Shababa Iqbal
Photo: Courtesy
This year, Bangladesh opened a new chapter by participating in the 68th edition of the Miss Universe beauty pageant. The path to Miss Universe began in July 2019, when more than 12,000 participants vied for the coveted title of Miss Universe Bangladesh, the contest that needed to be won to have a shot at the main title. This was followed by a three-month boot camp.
It has been a marvelous few months for beauty queen Shirin Akter Shela, who won the title of Miss Universe Bangladesh at the end of October. Shirin was crowned by eminent Indian actor Sushmita Sen, who won both Miss India and Miss Universe in 1994. The contest, held in Dhaka, saw Shirin beat off competition from beauty queens Alisha Islam and Jessia Islam. Shirin is the first person from a Muslim-majority country in South Asia to compete for the title of Miss Universe. She wowed judges with her poise and intellect as a third-year physics student at University of Dhaka. Her father is a member of the Border Guard Bangladesh. During the event, Shirin, who hails from Thakurgaon, revealed that her father was a great inspiration for her. She added that she would also work for the betterment of her country, which begins with winning Miss Universe Bangladesh.
Since then, she has been making the country proud, having been declared the best female model in the Face of Bangladesh 2019 contest. In 2018, she participated in Miss World Bangladesh and was among the top ten contestants. This year, she also represented Bangladesh at Face of Asia 2019, which took place in Seoul, South Korea.
Top contestants from 130 countries took part in the final competition of the 68th edition of Miss Universe, which took place at Atlanta, Georgia, on December 8. As an ambassador for Bangladesh, Shirin did really well in the preliminary round. "Although she did not make it to the Top 20, Shirin has won the hearts of millions and made a positive impact in the global beauty pageant circuit," said Rizwan Farouq, Chairman of Miss Universe Bangladesh.
For her national costume in the beauty pageant, Shirin sported a red jamdani sari, complete with a model hood of Bangladeshi rickshaws and jewelry that imitated Bengali letters. "Shirin received the love of many people for representing the culture and heritage of Bangladesh so beautifully," added Rizwan Farouq. At the final competition, Miss South Africa Zozibini Tunzi finished first, ahead of the Puerto Rican and Mexican finalists.
Regardless of the results, it is a matter of great pride that someone as stunning and confident as Shirin from Bangladesh participated in a global platform like Miss Universe for the first time.

U.S. scientists have been inventing advanced anti-counterfeiting technologies as far back as Benjamin Franklin.
Think about the last time you held actual money in your hands – a crisp $20 fresh from the ATM, or a handful of coins jingling merrily in your pocket. Maybe you were driving on a cash-only toll road or had to pay back a friend. Although bills and coins are increasingly being replaced by cards or smartphone apps, our currency is still under attack by counterfeiters. Luckily, U.S. scientists have been continually inventing advanced anti-counterfeiting technologies as far back as Benjamin Franklin's "nature prints," which used actual leaves to create unique patterns on bills.
Security features are currently incorporated into money in several ways. First, there is the substrate – what the bills are made of. In the U.S., a blend of 75% cotton and 25% linen is used, which is just as durable as plastic substrates recently in use by other countries. The fabric can also have a watermark incorporated into it – easy to see when held up to the light. The ink and pattern printed onto the bills can also be a security feature. The more detailed the pattern, the harder to duplicate. For example, the raised printing on U.S. bills gives them a distinct texture. The ink itself can also be unique – "color shift" ink changes color as the bill is tilted. Currently, the U.S. uses all of these features.
Recently, exciting new features have been added to bills. These are things like the security strips or threads on current $5-$100 bills, which glow different colors under a black light, making it easy to confirm legitimate bills. Or the "3D ribbon" on the $100 which is embedded in the fibers of the bill and changes pattern when tilted.
This is where science has a lot to offer. Security features must be cheap, easy to mass produce, and highly durable, but also very difficult to duplicate – requirements that are somewhat at odds. But, being professional problem solvers, scientists have tons of ideas about the next big anti-counterfeiting technology.
The most promising features are also very strongly interactive. In order to validate authenticity, your sales clerk or bartender interacts with the bill in a simple way – with a black light, the touch of their finger, or the CO2 exhaled in their breath – and the bill must have an obvious response.
For example, a material called liquid crystals can be used in an ink that changes color with the heat of your finger – just like a mood ring. Using a flexible electronic circuit made of conducting polymers printed on the bill, a finger placed in the right spot can make a complete circuit, eliciting a twinkle from Benjamin Franklin's eyes. Or, by adding to the circuit a piezoelectric material that moves in response to a voltage, detectable bumps can appear with a finger's touch. A really exciting idea incorporates optical fibers into the bill itself so that when light is directed onto a specific location, bright spots appear on the bill's surface in a unique pattern, like a barcode.
With estimates in the last ten years indicating $220 million of U.S. currency in circulation is fake, and 60% of that is ink-jet printed, counterfeiters aren't going away any time soon. Counterfeiting is still a big problem that can devalue currency – no matter if that currency is in your hand or your bank account. So today, National Dollar Day, we say #ThanksScience for continuing to keep our money safe!

These Guidelines are an essential tool that complements the rules and regulations set out in the Grant Agreement and its annexes (hereafter referred to as 'the Agreement') for all projects awarded under the Call for Proposals EAC/A03/2016. They provide guidance to the beneficiaries with regards to the implementation of the activities and the use of the grant relating to Capacity Building Projects in the field of Higher Education (hereafter referred to as "CBHE") funded under the Erasmus+ programme.
Proposals as well as with the Grant Agreement.
Joint and Structural projects that were also selected for the E+ CBHE Special Mobility Strand receive financial support for mobility scholarships targeting students and staff for studying, training or teaching purposes.
Specific provisions related to the preparation, implementation and overall management of the Special Mobility Strand as well as specific financial guidelines on the use of the Special Mobility grant are reported in separated Guidelines for the Special Mobility Strand.
The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (hereafter referred to as 'the Agency') reserves the right to amend these Guidelines in case additional clarification and instruction is required without prejudice to the beneficiaries. In case an updated version of these Guidelines will be published on the website of the Agency, the coordinators of the concerned projects will be informed accordingly.
Each CBHE project will be supervised by the Agency throughout its contractual period and even beyond it.
In order to implement this supervision and to provide the necessary assistance to the projects, a Project Officer (PO) in the Agency has been assigned to each CBHE project. This PO will be the primary contact person of the project in the Agency1.
electronic messages must always be sent to the email address of the PO in charge AND to the functional mailbox (EACEA-EPLUS-CBHE-PROJECTS@ec.europa.eu). The purpose of this functional mailbox is to ensure a centralised monitoring of the project correspondence, as well as a follow-up of the message in the absence of the PO.
For more information on the Agency's project supervision and monitoring activities see below under section 4.
The institutions listed in Annex IV of the Agreement (list of beneficiaries and mandates) compose the Partnership in charge of implementing the project. Only those beneficiary2 organisations appearing in Annex IV of the Grant Agreement can benefit directly from the EU grant.
Please note that from a contractual point of view "associated partners" are not part of the beneficiaries' organisations. As a result, they cannot benefit directly from the EU grant. If necessary, their participation costs in project activities will have to be covered via the co-financing contribution provided by the beneficiary organisations or by their sponsors.
Any modification to list of institutions contained in the Annex IV such as the addition of an institution located in a programme country or in an eligible Partner Country, or the withdrawal of an institution is only possible upon prior written approval of the Agency. Further details are given below under the section 2.3 "Amendments to the Agreement".
The signed mandates submitted with the application bind all beneficiaries to the legal provisions of the Agreement and give power of attorney to the coordinator to sign and act on their behalf. The sole contact person for the Agency concerning all project matters is the coordinator.
direct audits can be carried out at the coordinator and/or any of the beneficiaries.
Details on the general obligations and roles of the beneficiaries are given in Article II.1 (Annex II - General Conditions) of the Agreement.
A Partnership Agreement is a compulsory commitment that must be agreed and signed by each beneficiary organisation (Legal representative) and should be consistent with the provisions as laid out in the Agreement (and its annexes).
A signed scanned copy of the Partnership Agreement must be provided by e-mail to the Agency within 6 months of the signature of the Agreement.
Detailed implementation modalities of the project must be agreed upon by the beneficiaries and formalised in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement can either be multilateral (i.e. single agreement signed by the coordinator and all the other beneficiary organisations) or bilateral (i.e. a different agreement signed between the coordinator and each beneficiary organisation) and should be drafted in the working communication language of the Partnership.
Provisions of the Partnership Agreement(s) may be differentiated according to the special needs/requirements of each beneficiary, provided that transparency is ensured within the partnership.
any other relevant topic for the efficient implementation of the project.
The principle of co-financing has been taken into account in the definition of the funding approach and in particular in defining the level of the unit costs used to calculate the grant of the project3.
According to the European Union Financial Regulation grants shall always involve co-financing. This means that the resources which are necessary to carry out the project shall not be provided entirely by the EU contribution.
The grant awarded to CBHE projects is based on an estimated budget combining unit costs and actual costs and corresponds to the European Union financial contribution to the project, as indicated in Art I.3 and Annex III of the Agreement. In application of the co-financing principle, this amount has to be considered as a contribution to cover part of the costs incurred by the beneficiary institutions to carry out the activities foreseen in the project, and should not be mistaken with the total costs of the project which also include co-financing from the partner institutions.
In practical terms, the implementation of the CBHE project may require other types of expenditures, not specifically foreseen and included in the budget of the grant (such as costs for dissemination, publishing, translation if not sub- contracted, overheads costs, bank fees etc.), that are supposed to be covered by co-financing. It is important to note that these expenditures covered by the co-financing will not be taken into account for the final calculation of the grant and therefore will not have any financial impact on it.
Contrary to the approach followed under previous programmes (in particular the Tempus, ALFA or Lifelong Learning programmes), the co-financing contribution provided by the partnership will not need to be justified or demonstrated at final report stage. Practically, this means that no proofs of expenditure or supporting documents will be required by the Agency. Nevertheless, at final report stage and for statistical purposes only, the partnership will be invited to provide an indication on the level and source of co-financing made available for the implementation of the project. The final financial statement will contain a dedicated section where co-financing will have to be reported.
According to Article II.4 of the Agreement the beneficiaries shall take all necessary measures to prevent any situation where the impartial and objective implementation of the Grant Agreement is compromised for reasons involving economic interest, political or national affinity, family or emotional ties or any other shared interest ("conflict of interests").
Any situation constituting or likely to lead to a conflict of interests during the implementation of the Agreement shall be notified to the Agency, in writing, without delay. The beneficiaries shall immediately take all the necessary steps to rectify this situation. The Agency reserves the right to verify that the measures taken are appropriate and may require additional measures to be taken within a specified deadline.
According to Article II.16.3.1(c) of the Agreement, the Agency may decide to terminate the Agreement if the beneficiaries fail to comply with a substantial obligation under the terms of the Agreement.
Any communication, publication or output resulting from the project, made by the beneficiaries jointly or individually, including at conferences, seminars or in any information or promotional materials (such as brochures, leaflets, posters, presentations, etc.), must indicate that the project has received European Union funding. This means that all material produced for project activities, training material, projects websites, videos and social media accounts created to promote the project, special events, posters, leaflets, press releases, CD ROMs, etc. must carry the Erasmus+ logo and mention: "Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union"
When displayed in association with another logo, the European Union emblem must have appropriate prominence.

What I Watched Last Night: Dexter - "Remains to Be Seen"
"Dexter" has by far been one of my all time favorite shows. The concept, the actors, the story...I love it all. However, last season there seemed to be just a little something missing. Not that it wasn't great, but the first two season were just so...awesome.
So when season 4 began last week, I really had my fingers crossed...especially with a baby involved. I've been worried that this new season would be all Dexter cooing over the baby and trying to find time to kill which...well frankly just the idea bores me to death.
So I basically held my breath throughout most of the entire first episode and when it was all said and done, I exhaled and breathed a huge sight of relief. "Dexter" is back and it could be a potentially fantastic season again...especially with John Lithgow playing a serial killer. I mean c'mon, it's just too perfect.
Ok, so last night's episode was super stressful. If you saw episode one, then you remember we left off with Dex falling asleep behind the wheel and getting into a (very realistic) car accident with a dead body (Benny) in the back...or so we are lead to believe.
We picked up right where we left off with Dexter being pulled from the wreckage and slowly coming to realize there are cops swarming his car. After a trip to the hospital and another obnoxious scene with Rita (I'm sorry but her nagging is even getting on my nerves), he races back to his SUV in search of the remains.
This isn't a recap because the bottom line is, you should watch the episode if you haven't already. So I'm not going to fill you in on the nitty gritty details. Just know there's lots of angry Dexter (which is always a treat), multiple visits from his dead dad Harry, a confrontation with Debra (Dexter's sister) and Frank Lundy (her ex-lover) (and another between Masuka and Lt. Laguerta) and a shady situation between Dex and Quinn.
Oh and John Lithgow was awesome too. So so so creepy.
Least favorite part: I'm already bored with the Masuka/Lt. Laguerta relationship. They need to go somewhere interesting with this or give it a rest. Also the previously mentioned nagging from Rita and how she apparently refuses to take the late night baby feeding shift even after her husband suffers a concussion in a car wreck due to lack of sleep.

The Sun - Tabloid Lies
Analysing and exposing the many deceptions of The Sun newspaper
Batman casting is a riddle to the Sun
The Dark Knight Rises opens in cinemas today.
Some Sun readers may be slightly confused, however, by seeing Anne Hathaway playing Catwoman.
Why? Because the Sun's Gordon Smart 'revealed' in January 2011 that Megan Fox had 'signed up to play Catwoman':
Moreover, in a 'world exclusive' in December 2008 (in which they also noted Rachel Weisz was 'up for' Catwoman), Smart and Jess Rogers also 'revealed':
The story says:
FUNNYMAN EDDIE MURPHY will play The Riddler in the next Batman movie, The Sun can reveal.
The Beverly Hills Cop star, 47, has been signed up by British director CHRISTOPHER NOLAN...
A film insider said..."Eddie's a fantastic addition. Everyone's excited to see what he does as the Riddler."
'Everyone' will have to wait...

'It's a lie'
A Sun 'exclusive' by Ben Duffy reveals:
The article explains:
Comedian David Baddiel is to take Class A drugs live on telly as part of a scientific study for a new show.
The Three Lions on a Shirt star will sample the substance MDMA, often known as "Mandy", and then discuss how he is feeling.
David, 47, and other celebs are taking part in the Channel 4 series Drug Live, which aims to explore the effects MDMA has on the brain.
In response, Baddiel tweeted:

Trevor Kavanagh cries 'police state' (with backing of the Culture Secretary)
So after decades of implying if not assuming guilt on the basis of arrest if not suspicion alone (e.g. Forest Gate), The Sun have taken to defending... erm, themselves:
'Witch-hunt has put us behind ex-Soviet states on Press freedom'; The Sun's Trevor Kavanagh on the biggest police operation in British criminal history
And to prove his point, here's Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary of that supposed police state, playing lapdog for Murdoch (again) and pulling out all the stops to support this false prospectus, both in The Sun itself and in the wider media that he claims is under a threat all of a sudden now his chums at the Downing Street Echo are subject to arrest.
(Roll over. Play outraged. Good boy!)
Earlier in the 'Hackgate' scandal, The Sun had their Page 3 girl deliver a special message to police. Now it's Trevor Kavanagh's turn to be a massive tit for Murdoch. His editorial self-serving rant is repeated in full below. We post it here and invite comment because The Sun have decided to disallow comments on their version. For some reason.
Witch-hunt has put us behind ex-Soviet states on Press freedom
The Sun's Trevor Kavanagh on the biggest police operation in British criminal history
The Sun is not a "swamp" that needs draining.
Nor are those other great News International titles, The Times and The Sunday Times.
Yet in what would at any other time cause uproar in Parliament and among civil liberty and human rights campaigners, its journalists are being treated like members of an organised crime gang.
They are subjects of the biggest police operation in British criminal history — bigger even than the Pan Am Lockerbie murder probe.
Major crime investigations are on hold as 171 police are drafted in to run three separate operations.
In one raid, two officers revealed they had been pulled off an elite 11-man anti-terror squad trying to protect the Olympics from a mass suicide attack.
Instead of being called in for questioning, 30 journalists have been needlessly dragged from their beds in dawn raids, arrested and held in police cells while their homes are ransacked.
Wives and children have been humiliated as up to 20 officers at a time rip up floorboards and sift through intimate possessions, love letters and entirely private documents.
It is important that we do not jump to conclusions.
Nobody has been charged with any offence, still less tried or convicted.
Yet all are now on open-ended police bail, their lives disrupted and their careers on hold and potentially ruined.
Is it any surprise that Britain has dropped nine places to 28th, behind ex-Soviet bloc states Poland, Estonia and Slovakia, in the international Freedom of Speech league table?
So when the police get matters so far out of proportion, we are entitled to ask: Who polices the police?
Why should questions about police procedures be handled solely by the so-called Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is notoriously reluctant to rule against police?
This inquiry has even begun to disturb those of our critics who have been at least partly responsible for what many see as a "witch-hunt".
The Guardian has raised questions about freedom of the Press. Its media analyst, Steve Hewlett, says that when it comes to paying for stories, no newspaper — "tabloid or otherwise" — is exempt.
Yet in a quite extraordinary assumption of power, police are able to impose conditions not unlike those applied to suspected terrorists.
Under the draconian terms of police bail, many journalists are barred from speaking to each other. They are treated like threats to national security. And there is no end in sight to their ordeal.
Their alleged crimes? To act as journalists have acted on all newspapers through the ages, unearthing stories that shape our lives, often obstructed by those who prefer to operate behind closed doors.
These stories sometimes involve whistleblowers. Sometimes money changes hands. This has been standard procedure as long as newspapers have existed, here and abroad.
There is nothing disreputable about it. And, as far as we know at this point, nothing illegal.
Without good sources no newspaper could uncover scandals in the public interest.
Certainly, the world would never have learned about the expenses scandal that landed so many politicians in jail.
Which brings us to a sensitive domestic issue within the News International "family" which we cannot ignore.
Nabbed
It is absolutely right the company co-operates with police on inquiries ranging from phone and computer hacking to illegal payments.
We are right to hand over any evidence — emails, expense claims, memos — that might aid those inquiries.
It is right that those inquiries are carried out separately from the journalists under investigation. Nobody on The Sun was aware in advance that ten colleagues were about to be nabbed.
It is also important our parent company, News Corp, protects its reputation in the United States and the interests of its shareholders. But some of the greatest legends in Fleet Street have been held, at least on the basis of evidence so far revealed, for simply doing their jobs as journalists on behalf of the company.
Meanwhile, a huge operation driven by politicians threatens the very foundations of a free Press.
We have three separate police inquiries — Elveden, Weeting and Tuleta.
There is a Parliamentary inquiry and of course the free-ranging Leveson Inquiry into newspaper practices.
The field is open to almost anyone with a grievance to deliver their two cents' worth, even touching unrelated issues such as Page Three.
The process, costing tens of millions of pounds, threatens to roll on for at least another year and probably two.
Interestingly, nothing on this scale is envisaged for the banking industry which has brought the nation to the brink of bankruptcy.
Before it is too late, should we not be asking where all this is likely to lead? Will we have a better Press?
Or a Press that has been bullied by politicians into delivering what they, not the readers, think fit?
(Psst! In other news, that memo sent aorund by SKY News recently looks almost prescient, doesn't it?)
UPDATE - Just a quick note about The Sun comparing their situation to the uncovering of the expenses scandal (to the point where some cynics might suspect they seek to associate themselves with same in the eyes of the weak/lazy-minded...
The relevant source turned them down because they wanted to go soft on Cameron's Tories, and he did not think that appropriate. The Sun then acted in bad faith by publishing a story based on what was supposed to be a confidential authentication sample; they were clearly trying to cash in on the story before a real newspaper got to the evidence, and they did not care if their efforts derailed or undermined the publications of this evidence. With what little contact they did have with the expenses scandal, The Sun did not act in the public interest; they acted out of self-interest.

Louis Walsh and the "Walter Mitty" character.
The Sun, like most of the rest of the press, today notes the conviction of a certain Leonard Watters:
A JOBLESS dance teacher has been sentenced to six months in jail for falsely accusing X Factor judge Louis Walsh of groping him in a nightclub.
Leonard Watters, 24, admitted making two false reports to police that the music mogul sexually assaulted him in Dublin nightspot Krystle.
Father-of-two Watters — described as a "Walter Mitty" character — has apologised to Walsh, 59.
Lawyer Cahir O'Higgins told Dublin District Court Watters is now a laughing stock and has been treated as a pariah in his home town Navan, Co Meath.
The court heard Watters is penniless after blowing £670,000 compensation he received for serious burns.
He was allowed bail pending an appeal against his sentence.
Strangely, the Sun doesn't feel fit to mention that this "Walter Mitty" character, now being treated as a laughing stock and a pariah had his initial version of events most prominently promoted by... the Sun. Indeed, after the investigation against him was dropped, Louis Walsh made clear that he was considering taking legal action against the paper for splashing Watters' allegations all over the front page.
His threat presumably resulted in this sort of clarification in the Sun the following day. Gordon Smart took one for the team and wrote an award winning piece of arslikhan, making clear how Walsh is variously "one of the nicest blokes in showbiz", "one of the most friendly, decent and warm characters I have met in the music industry" and also that "he hasn't got a bad bone in his body — even after a big drink". Nonetheless, "[T]he Sun's duty is to report that news. It's our role to ask the difficult questions."
This ought to have been something both Dominic Mohan and Smart could have been asked about at the Leveson inquiry, yet for some reason both were at best, very lightly grilled. Still, plenty of time left for them to be recalled.

Here's what I'm not going to do: I'm not going to spend all column arguing the rights and wrongs of the decision to disallow Sam Underhill's "try" against the All Blacks.
Some very fine British rugby writers have made themselves look silly by claiming there wasn't clear evidence that Courtney Lawes was offside at the ruck that led to him charging down TJ Perenara, an act that sent Underhill rumbling down the Cabbage Patch while discombobulating the defensive angles of Beauden Barrett.
Once Marius Jonker was asked to rule on that phase of play by Jerome Garces, a referee held in no fond regard by New Zealanders after last year's Lions series, he had little choice but to acknowledge the infringement.
Whether he should ever have been asked to look at the replay is moot, and therein lay the more logical English grievance. Even New Zealanders, the ones whose mood doesn't sit on a bell curve reflected by rugby results, could see poetic justice in the All Blacks being beaten that way after an afternoon pockmarked by wretched box kicking.
The English could also feel justifiably peeved by a non-decision even later in proceedings. As spotted by my eagle-eyed colleague Patrick McKendry, in the game's dying moments with England in possession and on attack, replacement prop Ofa Tu'ungafasi tackles an England player and makes no attempt to release him. It is, by rugby's arcane standards, a clear and obvious infringement that would have given the hosts a gilt-edged opportunity for three points.
This could be an endless game of suit and counter-suit but it is futile. What is more interesting is the idea that one of these game-defining TMO decisions or non-decisions could alter the course of next year's World Cup in Japan.
Uh, hello? Where have you been these last 30 years or so?
With a minimum of research, let's count the "clear and obvious" ways world cups have been affected by officials.
Let's start in the misty recesses of time at a little place called Concord Oval in Sydney's inner west. France won a pulsating semifinal with a sensational Serge Blanco try five minutes into injury time. It's still considered by many to be the greatest World Cup match ever played.
The try should never have stood.
French lock Alain Lorieux was a mile offside from Patrice Lagisquet's centring kick, Laurent Rodriguez knocked the ball on before making the final pass to Blanco, who was quite possibly in touch before he dotted down.
Let's skip the drudgery of 1991 and move on to South Africa where the narrative remains that rugby – a divisive sport in South Africa's troubled history – is finally united after its charismatic black leader Nelson Mandela wears the Springbok jersey of Afrikaner captain Francois Pienaar.
Whereas Bevan was never one to concede mistakes, at least Paddy O'Brien had the good grace to admit to his portfolio of poor decisions that cost Fiji any hope of victory in a 19-28 loss to France in 1999. How might that World Cup had been turned on its head is Fiji scored a deserved upset.
Four years later, Mils Muliaina was unfortunate to have an early try ruled out that could have changed the course of the All Blacks semifinal against Australia. In the final, South African Andre Watson almost single-handedly kept the Wallabies pack in the match against a much tougher England eight, though the right result probably occurred in both matches.
Remember Cardiff, 2007? Of course you do. The ludicrous yellow card against Luke McAlister; the pass from Damien Traille to Freddie Michalak that was only slightly less forward than Joe Montana's famous completion to Dwight Clark; France's "flawless" discipline for the entire second half.
The All Blacks got a measure of revenge against France in the 2011 final when Craig Joubert appeared to ignore obvious offences by Andrew Hore and Jerome Kaino as the hosts clung to a sphincter-clenching 8-7 lead.
Last time around the same ref beat a hasty retreat after gifting a late penalty in a certain Australia-Scotland quarter-final.
The point of this trip down memory lane is not to shame refs, who have a nigh-on-impossible job, or even to relitigate injustice.
It is to highlight the fact every Rugby World Cup has turned on one or two big calls. The next one will too, no doubt.
The only worthwhile debate is the mechanism you use to try to minimise the poor decisions.
Video technology is not going away. The notion that we can go back to the good old days where the referee's word is final is silly on two counts: the old days weren't that good; and every mug sitting on his couch now has access to 12 different, near instantaneous replays so why wouldn't you afford the refs the same luxury.
How you determine what warrants a replay is the conundrum.
Every wrong decision hypothetically affects the outcome of a match, whether it is a missed crooked throw to a lineout in the first minute or the wrongful award of a try in the 76th. Clearly you can't revisit every decision or point of contention or else you wouldn't be reading this right now, you'd still be watching the final minutes of the All Blacks-England test.
ut there has to be a more elegant way of combining the resources of the officials to act in real-time to the grievances of the teams.
It has been suggested that rugby adopts a NFL-type system where the coaches can challenge what they think were poor decisions. It is an interesting concept, though the fragmented nature of American football makes it easier to adopt than rugby, where you can go minutes between stoppages.
Would the challenges only apply to point-scoring plays, or would you be able to revisit decisions around yellow cards and foul play, which could ultimately have a far greater bearing on the result?
Or we could keep muddling along as is, placing the onus for decision-making and reviews on officials that are already under siege on a weekly basis.
Whatever way World Rugby chooses to go you can be pretty sure of one thing: about this time next year, there will be at least one team struggling to get over the fact their World Cup was ended by a refereeing error.
The All Blacks could use a signature performance this weekend in Dublin. Sure, they get to sign off 2018 with a flourish in Rome but Italy are so weak and absent of enterprise that the result will be meaningless beyond a pithy entry in the next edition of Men in Black.
For all intents and useful purposes, the season climaxes in Dublin on Sunday against a team the World Rugby super-computer determines to be the second best in the world.
The All Blacks record against good teams this year has been spotty. Whether the chasing pack are playing above themselves or the All Blacks have climbed down to meet them is open to personal interpretation, but these eyes still believe an in-form New Zealand should still be too good for any other team on the planet.
Those same eyes are telling me that apart from tests against whipping boys Australia, the All Blacks are underperforming.
Three times in the space of two months supposedly inferior teams have taken the All Blacks to the wire.
On two occasions there were extenuating circumstances – gifting South Africa 14 points in Wellington; the dreadful weather in London – but the fact remains you only need one thing to go wrong in World Cup and you're left with four years of torment.
An excellent 80-minute showing in Dublin will ease some creeping anxiety.

Whole numbers are divisible by 4 if the number formed by the last two individual digits is evenly divisible by 4. For example, the number formed by the last two digits of the number 3628 is 28, which is evenly divisible by 4 so the number 3628 is evenly divisible by 4.
Is the number divisible by 4?


How much influence do others have in your eating disorder recovery? Are your friends and family members supportive? Or do you find that certain loved ones tend to hinder your recovery efforts in some way?
While friends and family members can make up a strong support system, this isn't true for everyone. In fact, in some cases certain loved ones may have even had a part in causing the eating disorder. Maybe their parents were abusive, controlling or overly demanding. Perhaps a friend or teammate with an eating disorder encouraged them to start practicing food-related behaviors. It's possible that a boss or co-worker made the work environment so stressful that, along with other factors, they turned to food-related behaviors in an attempt to cope. When they recognize they have an eating disorder and choose to begin the recovery process, it only stands to reason that they wouldn't seek support from those who played a part in the onset of the eating disorder.
Even for those who feel they can go to loved ones for support, things don't always work out as expected. In some situations, they may know those around them won't be supportive, but due to circumstances, they must tell certain friends, family members or people in the workplace.
For some, husbands may not want their wives to go for inpatient treatment leaving them to take care of children and other home responsibilities. A boss or co-workers may not be flexible when it comes to a person keeping appointments or taking a leave of absence in order to get treatment.
If those around you aren't supportive, what can you do? Eating disorder recovery is challenging enough without others thwarting your efforts. There are no easy answers for dealing with the negative influence of others during eating disorder recovery, but here are some things to keep in mind.
1. Make the most of the support you DO have. You deserve more support than you're getting. Try your best, though, to focus on who IS there for you.
2. Educate those around you about eating disorders and the complicated process of eating disorder recovery. For more on this, see my article about loved ones.
3. Put your recovery first. If others don't understand and aren't supportive, that only reflects negatively on them. While their support may have meant a great deal to you, you can still move forward without it.
4. If those around you lack compassion, aren't willing to make the effort to learn about eating disorders or come alongside you, consider that these may not be the people you need to be close to right now. I'm all for healing in relationships, conflict resolution and all of those good things. However, you are only responsible for you. They make their own choices about how they're going to respond to your need of support. Therefore, sometimes it's better to distance yourself in relationships like this. Whether that's temporary or permanent is a decision you can make over time. For now, do what you need to do in order to get healthy.
5. Lean on the One whose support is available to you anytime, anywhere, for anything. God has promised He will never leave us. He can heal your heart, listen to your concerns, strengthen you in your recovery, help you grow and lead you into a healthier life on all levels.
Regardless of the influence of those around you, your recovery is important. Make the most of the support you do have and move forward. Don't let anyone stand in the way of becoming a healthier person both inside and out.

NJ Lawmaker Wants to Extend School Day, School Year to Address Learning Loss
Dino Flammia Updated: October 25, 2022
thanaphiphat/ThinkStock
Alarmed by the latest round of assessment figures for New Jersey students, a state senator is pushing legislation that would permit certain districts to extend the school day or the school year.
A bill from Sen. Shirley Turner, D-Mercer, would establish a three-year pilot program within the Department of Education that would award funds, on a competitive basis, to districts with students demonstrating a high level of need for academic support.
A school district selected for participation would utilize the funds for any costs associated with the implementation of a program to increase the length of the school day or academic calendar.
The bill was introduced on Oct. 3, according to the New Jersey Office of Legislative Services.
This past Monday, the "Nation's Report Card" was released, exposing the learning loss caused in New Jersey and elsewhere by the coronavirus pandemic.
According to this year's National Assessment of Educational Progress, New Jersey recorded its lowest math scores since 2003 and its lowest fourth-grade reading scores since 2005. Eighth grade reading scores held their own, ranking first nationally as they had in 2019.
"The NAEP confirms what we have all suspected – that our students' learning suffered greatly from being out of the classroom for more than one year during the pandemic," Turner said. "The extra instruction time that an extended school day or school year can provide to the students who need the most academic support will help them to regain academic ground and increase their chances of remaining in school and graduating."
New Jersey received $6.2 billion in American Rescue Plan funds and $2.76 billion was to be used by individual school districts to address learning loss, Turner's office noted.

If you haven't heard of chia yet, you're about to be introduced to your new favorite superfood! These seeds pack quite the punch when it comes to healthy nutrients, and their small size means they're super easy to slip into your existing diet.
Native to South America, chia seeds have been around for a very, very long time—they were even prized by the Mayans and Aztecs for their ability to provide energy, with the word 'chia' deriving from the Mayan word for 'strength.' And if that isn't a good enough endorsement for these seeds, maybe the laundry list of nutrients they provide will sway you over to the way of the chia seed.
Chia seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and protein, and contain a large dose of your recommended daily amount (RDA) of calcium, magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus. In just one ounce (or 28 grams) of chia seeds, you get nearly 5 grams of omega-3 fatty acids, 11 grams of fibre, 4 grams of protein, 18% of the RDA for calcium, 30% for magnesium, 30% for manganese, and 27% of phosphorus. This high nutrient content is what makes chia seeds able to strengthen your teeth and bones, help regulate blood sugar and improve blood pressure (which makes it amazing for people with diabetes), increase healthy cholesterol, and help lessen belly fat. In addition to all this, chia seeds also contain tryptophan, ensuring that you get full faster, enabling you to cut back on portion size.
Because of their small size and tasteless flavor, chia seeds are very easy to add to most of the foods you most likely already enjoy. You can simply sprinkle some whole seeds on a salad or stir-fry, add to your favorite yogurt, or bake them into some muffins. It's also very simple to add milled chia seeds into any smoothie to give it an extra health-boost. One thing to avoid though is eating them dry and following it with a bit of water—chia seeds absorb water and expand (which makes them amazing for portion control when trying to lose weight), and it's important for your esophagus that they expand well before they enter your stomach, instead of on the way down.


Does the manufacturer of robotic kits for kids have a potential to enter markets overseas by offering a 50% discount on MSRP to importers? Will the importer have enough space to markup the price before CE retailers markups his own purchasing price?
The answer is unknown without direct knowledge of the margins amongst the various intermediaries (importers, distributors, retailers/resellers) involved in the sale of products in your category.
It is hard to pin down using general industry rules of thumb because margins on consumer electronic products varies quite substantially not just between categories, but within categories, between channels and retailers and possible also based on the maturity of the product in the category.
Talk directly with importers/distributors and retailers/resellers to understand their margin requirements.
Assemble your P&L for the product, including COGS and all applicable operating expenses and net income. Assume a reasonable but standard net income percentage for companies like you in your category.
The goal with this exercise is to determine if you can manufacturer and sell your product at your wholesale cost with all of your P&L variables factored in for that product, based on your industry net income average, which then rolls up to the importer/distributor price, which then then rolls up to the retailer price, factoring in their COGS.
Build this sequence into a model and you will then be able to determine what margin you can deliver on your product.


Although Education Minister (Schools) Ng Chee Meng has commented that bullying in schools is "stable and managed", it was also mentioned that about 5 per cent of students have been physically bullied (Bullying in schools 'stable and managed'; Oct 4).
This figure is substantial. One might argue that a figure closer to 1 per cent would be more acceptable.
Moreover, it is possible that 5 per cent is an underestimation, as victims may be too timid or reluctant to report an incident.
It is also noteworthy that students are not the only victims of bullying in schools. Another vulnerable but often overlooked group are teachers.
In this case, social stigma and even administrative pressure may deter teachers from reporting students who bully them, perhaps not physically but verbally and socially.
The presence of such bullies should not be tolerated, as they not only demean the teacher as a person but also undermine his or her ability to carry out lessons by their misbehaviour and by emboldening others to act likewise.
It is assumed that teachers, being adults and professionals, would be able to manage, or simply put up with, difficult students.
The reality, however, is that students may be not only more physically intimidating but also verbally disrespectful and abusive.
One can only commiserate with the teacher who has to handle them frequently and try to help them achieve a good educational outcome.
In short, it is only by considering both students and teachers as potential victims that one can derive a more complete picture of bullying in our schools.

Wolf Parade at the Fillmore Miami Beach, November 10
S. Pajot
S. Pajot | November 11, 2010 | 11:00am
With Ogre You Asshole
The Fillmore Miami Beach
Better than: A totally empty auditorium.
Too bad Montreal indie rockers Wolf Parade don't travel with a pack of thousands. The Fillmore could have used some filling last night.
The crowd was only a cluster. But like singer and keyboard player Spencer Krug said: "Obviously, there's not a shit-ton of us in here. But there's enough of us that we can still have a good time."
Going into the show, I knew nothing at all about the opening band. But here's an early impression via the Crossfade Twitter feed: "Turns out, Ogre You Asshole is four very polite Japanese fellows who play rather intricate indie pop." And yeah, the first few minutes of Ogre's set tended toward powerful, pristine stuff.
But somewhere during the second song, things twisted into darker territory. The pretty pop started to drift in noisier and more dissonant directions. And as the songs clicked past, these skinny, polite guys took on a wilder aspect. The drummer pounded away with closed eyes and an open mouth. The singer crowded the mic and sweated through his shirt. And the guitarist's ponytail came half undone.
With the second-to-last song, though, Ogre circled back to that bright, early vibe before slipping into a speedy dance punk cut, soaring and slashing to a final furious and technical freakout.
At 9:47 p.m., Wolf Parade strode out, snatched up its instruments, and scoped out the crowd. Krug sat center-stage on a stool behind twin keyboards and some kind of small musical toy. To his left, the bass player rocked back-and-forth on his heels. Off in the shadows, the drummer slumped behind his kit. And over to the right, guitarist and singer Dan Boeckner vibrated with a certain kind of hyper wiriness.
Once set, the band cut straight into "You Are a Runner and I Am My Father's Son," the lead track off its 2005 debut full-length Apologies to the Queen Mary. And right away, it was clear that this wasn't gonna be a standard show. For one thing, Wolf Parade was giving off bristling, anarchic energy spiked with howling menace. For another, there just weren't enough bodies to absorb all that noise and echoes were bouncing all around the place. And for yet another, the authorities were acting weirdly.
Almost as soon as Wolf Parade started, someone lit a spliff. (Pretty standard concert behavior, right?) Usually, you can smoke up at a show and successfully hide. But since the crowd was so fucking thin, security had no problem sniffing out the offenders. Basically, some kid and a couple of his friends were all alone in the open with giant smoke rings hanging over their heads. So the guard shoved his pocket flashlight into the center of the group. And just as those three guilty potheads were about to slink away or start begging for mercy, the cop simply asked that they extinguish their herb. No ejections. No threats. Nothing.
From there, people downed third and fourth beers. Even with the emptiness, the edge of the stage got clogged. And a few diehards started dancing (or stumbling around in a vaguely rhythmic way?) while the band alternated from Krug- to Boeckner- to Krug- penned songs: "Language City," "Cloud Shadow on the Mountain," "Palm Road."
At this point, everyone -- including the band -- could feel that shit was getting loose. During a short pause between songs, Boeckner joked: "I went swimming today and I stepped on something sharp. Is there anything sharp that lives in the ocean that isn't, say, a hypodermic needle?" The dumb responses came, and he smiled and shook his shaggy, black hair.
Unleashing themselves a bit, Krug and the rest of the crew reached back again to Apologies to the Queen Mary for a raw, rowdy version of "Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts" before dashing ahead to this year's Expo 86 with "Ghost Pressure" and "Oh You, Old Thing." And next, "This Heart's on Fire" and "I'll Believe in Anything
After that mini-eruption, the closer was meant to be "Kissing the Beehive," an indie epic that wound through ten minutes of midtempo brooding, quick downturns, throbbing buildups, and densely orchestrated breakdowns. The band put its gear away. The lights went out. And the stage smoke cleared. But this small group of rabid fans wouldn't stop howling and howling and howling. So Wolf Parade returned for a one-song encore.
"Man, we weren't planning on coming out," Krug admitted. "Here's an old one."
And Krug gave these people what some of them had been begging for all night -- a "Fancy Claps" finale.
Personal Bias: I'm half Canadian. And I've also got a shaggy, wolfish beard.
The Crowd: Lonely chillwave chicks, skinny-suited 30-something hipsters, and lots of nerdy beards.
Overheard in the Crowd: "Oh, shit. Here comes a pig," said the pothead. "Put it out. Put it out."
Wolf Parade's Setlist:
-"You Are a Runner and I Am My Father's Son"
-"Language City"
-"Cloud Shadow on the Mountain"
-"Palm Road"
-"Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts"
-"Ghost Pressure"
-"What Did My Lover Say"
-"Fine Young Cannibals"
-"Oh You, Old Thing"
-"This Heart's on Fire"
-"I'll Believe in Anything"
-"Kissing the Beehive"
-"Fancy Claps"

Home News Greater Napanee Council
Greater Napanee to develop exotic pet by-law
Currently the Town of Greater Napanee has no by-laws regarding residents owning exotic animals such as snakes.
Adam Prudhomme
Noting a lack of a by-law as it pertains to exotic animals, Town of Greater Napanee staff will look to neighbouring municipalities for guidance.
Greater Napanee councillor Ellen Johnson made a motion at the March 23 council meeting requesting town staff research the exotic pet by-laws of surrounding municipalities as a template for developing their own. Council has placed a deadline of 'by the end of the summer' for the information to come back to them.
The motion was made in response to a letter submitted by landlords Lindsay Cuthill and Duane Hunt following an incident at one of their duplexes on Newburgh Road on Feb. 5.
"We later discovered that the current tenant had multiple snakes within a small unit, including a 10 ft. boa constrictor and multiple smaller snakes," read the letter. "We contacted the by-law officer who informed us that the by-law for Napanee no longer has any restrictions on any animals other than dogs."
The letter referenced the 2013 tragedy in Campbellton, NB in which a python climbed through the ventilation and killed a five and seven year old in their own home.
In their letter, Cuthill and Hunt said Animal Welfare Services attended the duplex and not only found dogs in need of care but the boa constrictor was 'hungry and trying to escape the enclosure.' This particular unit has a family with young children living on the other side of the wall.
"The issue was not just with the animals and reptiles and so on being there," said mayor Marg Isbester. "It was certainly the safety of A. the neighbours and B. the well-being of the animals themselves and the OPP enforcement has stepped in so we'll wait for them to do what they can. It's an unfortunate incident, I don't see it as being a joke for things that have happened in other municipalities."
Councillor Terry Richardson said any by-laws the town may have had regarding exotic animals might have been lost in the shuffle with amalgamation 20 years earlier.
"We're not the only municipality that has that problem either and it appears as though the City of Toronto has had the same issues and dealt with it many years ago," said Richardson.
The town's new by-law will aim to encompass as many types of pets as possible. Noting that even cats aren't covered under their current by-law, deputy mayor Max Kaiser reminded council of an incident in Kingston some 20 years earlier when one home was found to have several hundred cats.
"If other municipalities have similar by-laws, we don't have to re-invent the wheel here," said Kaiser. "It sounds like a rare circumstance, but it's certainly one that caught this landlord off-guard."

Design and Development of Forecasting Models
DSC was set up in 1990 to provide consultancy in relation to the design, development and use of forecasting models and associated appraisal methods. During the firm's first decade, the team worked on a wide range of land-use, economic and transport models, often providing transport modelling for land-use and economic consultants and land-use/economic modelling for transport consultants. Some of those early projects were undertaken with other firms' modelling packages, including:
TRANUS (Modelistica, Venezuela)
START (MVA Consultancy, UK [now part of SYSTRA])
Models which DSC designed and developed from scratch (though drawing extensively on published research) included:
a multimodal model of travel to and from Belfast, Northern Ireland
a simple static model of the urban land-use impacts of transport change (subsequently named DSCMOD) applied to Edinburgh (Scotland), Merseyside (England), Dublin (Ireland), and Sao Paulo (Brazil)
a regional economic model of what was then the European Community (12 states).
For our work on appraisal methods please see the Research and Innovation page.
The DELTA package: introduction
Since the late 1990s, our modelling work has been concentrated on the development and use of the DELTA package, which now covers all the elements represented in our earlier work. Work on the design of DELTA started in early 1995. The overall design has proved remarkably robust, but the detail of the package has been greatly refined and extended. The package now allows a range of models to be implemented for study areas ranging from a large town to a whole country.
DELTA: design
DELTA models represent a range of processes of change operating over time, giving dynamic models which produce a time series of results. Most of the processes are studied separately in urban and regional economics, transport studies, human geography and other academic fields; much of the originality in DELTA is in bringing models of these different processes together in a coherent and practical way. The table below identifies these different components and when they were introduced.
DELTA: applications with the Regional Economic Model
The DELTA applications listed in the table below use (or used) the "full" form of DELTA including the Regional Economic Model. Where the model was developed for a particular study or appraisal, that is mentioned; other models were developed as more general tools for a range of purposes.
The table identifies the transport modelling package used. * in that column indicates that the model uses transport costs from a transport model or other analysis, but is used purely as a land-use/economic model, not returning data to the transport model.
DELTA: applications without the Regional Economic Model
The DELTA applications listed in this table are (or were) either
models of individual cities or towns, using only the DELTA components appropriate to more local modelling
models focused on particular subregions using the variable employment scenario form of DELTA rather than the full Regional Economic Model.
