Mental Health in High School: Teach Students Link between Thinking Patterns, Emotions & Behavior
Adding a mental health component to school-based health education programs could enhance health behaviors, reduce depression and improve grades.
Researchers from The Ohio State University College of Nursing found that a program called COPE: (Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment) Healthy Lifestyles TEEN (Thinking, Emotions, Exercise, Nutrition) had a beneficial outcome for several health and behavioral factors.
The high school health classes used an intervention that emphasized building cognitive behavioral skills in addition to nutrition and physical activity.
Participants had a lower average body mass index, better social behaviors, higher health class grades and drank less alcohol than did teenagers in a class with standard health lessons.
Symptoms in teens who were severely depressed also dropped to normal levels at the end of the semester compared to the control group, whose symptoms remained elevated.
Researchers say most of the positive outcomes of the program were sustained for six months.
Experts say the intervention is welcomed as thirty-two percent of youths in the United States are overweight or obese, and suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people age 14 to 24.
Despite the fact that teens have significant mental health issues, most school-based interventions don't take on both public health problems simultaneously or measure the effects of programs on multiple outcomes, said Bernadette Melnyk, lead author of the study.
"This is what has been missing from prior healthy lifestyle programs with teens – getting to the thinking piece. We teach the adolescents that how they think directly relates to how they feel and how they behave," said Melnyk.
"This program dropped scores of severely depressed teens almost in half. Less than 25 percent of adolescents who have mental health problems get any help, and here we have an intervention that addresses that suffering and also can prevent or reduce obesity."
The study is published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
For the study, researcher's recruited 779 high-school students age 14 to 16 from the Southwestern United States. Half attended a control class that covered standard health topics such as road safety, dental care and immunizations. The others were enrolled in the COPE: Healthy Lifestyles TEEN program.
The COPE program is based on the concepts of cognitive behavioral therapy, with an emphasis on skills building.
It's not counseling in the classroom, however: The entire COPE curriculum, a blend of weekly 50-minute behavioral skills sessions, nutrition information and physical activity over the course of 15 weeks, is spelled out for instructors in manuals and PowerPoints.
This study was the first to test COPE's effectiveness when taught by trained teachers in a health classroom setting. In pilot studies, Melnyk and her team have taught the curriculum themselves.
"These are skills that I can teach a variety of professionals how to deliver, and they don't have to be certified therapists," said Melnyk.
At its core, the COPE program emphasizes the link between thinking patterns, emotions and behavior as well as the ABCs of cognitive behavioral skills building.
This training acknowledges that activator events can trigger negative thoughts, the negative beliefs teens may have about themselves based on the triggering event, and the consequences of feeling bad and engaging in negative behavior as a result.
"We teach kids how to monitor for activator events and show them that instead of embracing a negative belief, they can turn that around to a positive belief about themselves," Melnyk said.
"Schools are great at teaching math and social studies, but we aren't giving teens the life skills they need to successfully deal with stress, how to problem-solve, how to set goals, and those are key elements in this healthy lifestyle intervention."
COPE also includes nutrition lessons on such topics as portion sizes and social eating and 20 minutes of movement — dance, dodge ball, taking a walk, anything to keep the students out of their seats.
Among the participating teens, 68.3 percent self-identified as Hispanic and 51.5 percent were female. More than half began at a healthy weight, with 19 percent considered overweight and 23.4 percent in the obese category for their age. Almost 10 percent of the adolescents reported having anxiety and depression symptoms.
Immediately after the programs ended, COPE students' outcomes exceeded the control group's, on average, in several areas: 4,061 more steps per day; a significantly lower average body mass index (BMI); better scores in cooperation, assertion and academic competence — all social skills that are rated by teachers; and lower alcohol use — 12.96 percent of COPE teens compared to 19.94 percent of adolescents in the control class.
The BMI improvements in COPE teens held for six months, and a trend toward lower alcohol use among COPE teens was maintained. In addition, 97.3 percent of COPE teens who started at a healthy weight remained in that category six months later, while only 2.7 percent moved to the overweight category.
In comparison, of teens in the control group who started at a healthy weight, 91.2 percent remained in that category, with 7.3 percent progressing to overweight and 1.5 percent moving to the obese category.
Melnyk noted that it's not possible to tease out exactly which component of the program has the most profound effect on teens, but it is likely to be the combination of all of them together.
"I believe it has to be the combination," she said.
"You've got to have a nutrition piece to teach them how to eat healthier and resist unhealthy eating to make themselves feel better. And they've got to be more active. But a very key piece is the mental health and cognitive piece."

NOTE: The steps described below are based on the general principles of calculating PAYE; it is always advisable to verify with the SRA when not sure.
Deduct allowable deductions, e.g. statutory deductions (SNPF), contributions to pension fund.
Step 3 Determine which bracket it falls under of the 4 brackets provided by law and calculate accordingly. E.g. a total annual taxable income of 80 000 is classified under the 0 - 100 000 tax bracket and therefore the applicable rate would be 20% of the amount = 16 000. An annual taxable income of 180 000 would be under the 150 000 - 200 000 bracket and therefore the applicable tax rate would be 32 500 on the first 150 000 PLUS 30% on the balance of 30 000 = 9 000; total tax would therefore be 32 500 + 9 000 = 41 500.
Step 4 Apply the rebate amount; every ordinary individual is entitled to a rebate (means of reducing tax liability) amount of E8 200 per annum. E.g. if your tax liability is E41 500, the rebate will reduce it to E33 300.
Step 5 Convert annual tax liability to a monthly amount by dividing by 12. E.g. a the monthly amount on E33 300 is E2 775 which is the tax that will be deducted in that particular month.
A registered employer is required to submit a PAYE Monthly Deduction Return to the SRA no later than the 7th calendar day of the following month as well as attach the proof of payment of the employees' tax paid. Payments of employees' tax must be reflected correctly and separately on the bank slip in order to avoid the incorrect allocation of these payments and the unnecessary issue of final demands.


Last week, the kids and I traveled with my parents to our family cottage in Pennsylvania for some time in the woods. Here is a glimpse of our time there, a fish story in pictures.
Yes, we really caught one!
I want to hold it!
Yeah, Grandpa, you hold it!
Put this one in my fishing album, Mom!
Remember back on Mother's Day, when one of my gifts was a little vegetable garden?
Holy wow, I'm not even really sure what to do with this. Obviously next year I'm going to have to scale back a little, or at least not choose so many vining varieties. My mom suggesting extending the garden the length of the house. I'd love to do that, except for the fact that the utilities for the house enter about six feet down from the edge of this garden, and I'd hate to see J. dig into something shocking.
The cucumbers have kind of taken over, so much so I was worried about my green beans. But we've harvested enough to have them for two meals now, so I guess they're doing okay. I'd prune, but I'm not even sure where to start. The cucumbers are all entertwined with everything else. They're so green and healthy and amazing the way they keep sending out tendrils it makes me feel terrible to cut too much of them. I keep pulling them off and training them along the fence, and thinking of pickles. My kids LOVE pickles.
And these have me dreaming of a roasted tomato sauce and some salsa. Can't wait.
It's 8:20 and I'm lying in bed with N. this evening for the "will you snuggle with me Mommy?" time she's been requesting lately. This is no small feat, given the increasing size of my belly*, and the fact that her bed is really still a crib, with the front side taken off and the mattress lowered almost to floor level.
I complain that her bed is too little for me, and that she needs a big girl bed.
I've explain for the twenty-millionth time why New Baby will eventually need to sleep in her crib. This leads to a tangent about her wanting to keep her Strawberry Shortcake sheets. I tell her they are too small for her big girl bed, but she can use the Strawberry pillowcase if she wants.
"But what pillow New Baby dunna use?" she asks.
I remind her of the tiny one with the cow jumping over the moon that used to be O.'s that he has set aside for New Baby.
This leads her to think about the blue bib that O. also found that says Baby's 1st Birthday that is also in "New Baby's Pile."
"But Mommy, why is it blue? Because boys like things that are blue? Oh yes, and girls like things that is pink. But Mommy, why is it a boy?"
I tell her that I'm not sure, that's just the way things are in our family.
She decides she needs to go check on the pile of things for New Baby, and make sure it is all accounted for. I assure her that it is all fine, and she doesn't need to look at it right this minute, as New Baby isn't even here yet, and won't be for a while.
"But where is he? In you tummy? But why he inside?"
I remind her that he needs to keep growing bigger and stronger until the day he's ready to meet us.
"Can I talk to him in you tummy?"
I tell her that of course she can.
"Hiiiii. Hi, Baby. I have a toy for you in the car, you dunna like it. It is a baby duck and I will show it to you and you dunna laugh and laugh!"
She laughs to herself about this.
"Mommy, I should go out in the car and get that toy for New Baby right now."
I tell her that's not necessary, that it's time to go to bed, and anyway, New Baby won't be able to hold toys or play with things right away when he comes out.
"But isn't he gonna have hands like me?" she asks, incredulous.
Fifteen minutes later, I'm downstairs working on this post, and am not hearing anything on the monitor. I start to think/hope that I may just have lucked out tonight, that playing in the pool late afternoon has actually done the trick and worn her out so much that she's fallen asleep. I haven't even had to venture into the annoyed tone of voice with her yet, much less the "That is ENOUGH! IT IS TIME TO GO TO SLEEP" yelling and she falls asleep crying that so often ends the evening for us.
And then I see little blond curls peeking around the doorframe of the dining room. She has put on half of the jewelry from the jewelry box on her dresser, and is clutching a folded piece of paper in her hand.
I remind her that she can't wear necklaces to bed.
"But Mommy, princesses have to wear jewels! Ariel wears a necklace!"
Not to bed, she doesn't, and neither do you. And what is that piece of paper in your hand?
She shows me that it is her prized wallet sized photo of her cousin at age two, folded into fours. She shows me the writing on the back that details her cousin's name, the date, and age.
"This has sense (sentence) on it tells me where I can go. It says I sposed come down here. It's directions. Hey! Is that my Elmo underpants? What they doing on a floor? They sposed to be in my room with my other underpants!"
I walk her back upstairs, tuck Elmo in safely in with the other underpants, and tuck her in under her favorite blanket. She wants to know why I wasn't in O's room, and why his door is closed. I tell her he is asleep because it is late. I tell her she is supposed to be asleep. I tell her no more getting out of bed.
Two minutes later, she is back downstairs.
"Mommy, which leopard is mine? (she and O. have identical stuffed leopards and they were both lying in the upstairs hallway at bedtime tonight) This is costs money." She holds out the folded picture again for me to see. "This is my costs money that I can buy a leopard. I keep costs money right here in this book so I can get it."
I'm stern this time, and send her up to bed alone.
"Moooooom. Mooooommm-y! Moooooo-m!" comes over the monitor.
I go upstairs and stand in her doorway, asking her what is wrong, and tell her it is seriously time to GO TO SLEEP.
"I can go to grocery store in my bed? I dunna buy something. Like...an amimal. Like...a pony. I get one at nastics. (gymnastics) There not any kids there, they all ponies. I just pretending."
I ignore this discussion, tell her to go to sleep and not to call for me anymore. If she needs something, she can get out of bed and get it, but then she needs to get right back in bed.
She comes down the next time wearing her plush Hello Kitty backpack backwards so that it is covering her belly.
"Look, I have New Baby in here. Want to see?"
She produces her stuffed horse from inside the zipper.
I'm thinking that nothing about this is so very much cute anymore, especially since I started putting kids to bed at 7:38 tonight, the time they BOTH started requesting their bedtime books be read to them. It is now 9:39.
"Mommy! Moooo-m. Moooooommmmy!" The monitor again.
What, N., What! What is it you want? It is TIME TO BE SLEEPING!
"I need a pacifier for my baby. It is sick."
No. you. do. not. need. anything. from. downstairs. You need to sleeping. You are not to play, you are not to call out. You need to be in bed, and you need to be sleeping. Do you understand me? She puts her hand up over her eyes as if to shield herself.
9:57. She can still be heard talking to herself over the monitor, though it is mumbles now not animated pretend voices for stuffed animals talk. There have been a couple of yawns. I'm hoping this is it for the night. If not, I'm not sure I want you to read a transcript anyway.
*Two different people asked me today if I was about to give birth any day now. No, unless late September has decided to arrive early. Only 25 weeks here, thankyouverymuch. Even J. asked this week if I was sure about the due date. As if he had no participation in its establishment.
After a bit of an absence, it appears my Girl Fearless is back.
N., who walked at 10 months, and then basically moved right on to running after her brother, used to always be my child that I worried would get seriously hurt because she simply had no sense of what was dangerous or beyond her abilities.
Last summer, before she was two, I was constantly hauling her off of the ladder on our swing set. She got four stitches in her upper lip because she was running at top speed on a boardwalk by the lions at the zoo and tripped. As soon as we found the ladybug lifejacket for her, it was impossible to get her out of the pool, except so that she could jump in again.
Over the winter, though, my little daredevil became a bit of a shrinking flower. When we'd go to the indoor playset place, she wanted nothing to do with anything more wild than a baby swing. Wouldn't go anywhere a slide or a climbing contraption. And although she'd go into a trampoline for a few bounces, she would only do so if there were no other children anywhere nearby.
Anytime we went to friends' homes for playdates, she wouldn't leave my hip or my lap. It was as though I had acquired a new shadow. I understand this timidity -- it's certainly more my own tendency. I also get that there's probably some connection to her awareness that she won't be the baby of the family for too much longer. I have tried to be patient with this new version of my girl, hoping that it was just a phase she would move through. Or at least that it would not always involve her acting like human velcro.
We've seen some glimpses this spring. The tumbling class when she actually joined in with the "pile up on top of the tumbling mats" activity with the bigger kids. And the visit to the inflatable place when she went down a giant slide as long as her brother and ten year old cousin accompanied her.
But as of our trip to my sister-in-law's lake house over Memorial Day, Miss N. seems to have gotten her brave groove back. Not only did she spend extended periods of time out of my arms' reach and even eyesight playing with the crowd of cousins, but she also quite literally jumped back into the water.
Here she is, jumping right off the diving board on the end of the dock, into water that is over her father's head.
We couldn't get her to stop repeating "I jump off diving board??" She went down for her naps saying it, and woke right up after requesting her life jacket. After a while, J. got tired of getting dunked everytime she jumped to him. So he decided to just let her go under once, figuring she wouldn't like getting her entire head wet, and would cool it for a while. Not so much.
After that, we just started to let her jump in on her own and paddle over to the boat ladder. Hours were spent in this manner.
Oh, and she also wanted to go on the big inflatable tube behind the boat. We finally convinced her that her dad had to go with her.
Yes, I think Girl Fearless is back.
Even though O. has been finished with preschool for nearly two weeks, (on his way to kindergarten -- what??), today really felt like our first day of summer. And the weather wasn't even that warm.
We went away for an extended Memorial Day weekend, and spent the end of last week playing clean up and catch up. I had my end of Bible Study party at our house on Friday, and there was a lot of clutter to clear out before that could happen.
So, today was the day to get into full fledged summer activity mode. Nineteen years of life as a student and ten others as a teacher have trained me to still think in terms of a school calendar year, even though I stay home and my kids are not yet in school full time. So those last few days of a school year and the first few days of freedom from a schedule are particularly thrilling to me -- like that first day you can drive along with the windows down and the radio cranked up. I'm actually glad I forgot that the first session of swim lessons started at our pool today, because I'm kind of glad that we'll have some flexibility about what we want to do with our days now, rather than having to be at the pool at 11AM for the next two weeks.
Today we went to the Nature Center and it was just about the perfect day you could dream up to start your summer. Sunny, but not too hot: a puffy paint cloud in a blue sky kind of day. We took a little hike with good friends, feeding the turtles and fish and stopping to use magnifying glasses to look at daddy long legs (one with only four legs!) and red ants along the way. N. pulled off every leaf she could reach from her stroller (no poison ivy, I'm pretty sure). We ended up with a up close encounter with a corn snake in the visitor center and a snack of Jello Jigglers before we headed to the library to sign up for the summer reading club.
It was delightful to watch O. with his good friend from his preschool class, in what must have seemed like a reunion to the two of them after not seeing each other for nearly two weeks.
"Look! A clue!" he shouted looking up in to the hole in a dead tree.
"Mom, don't you think this is just the right spot for tadpoles, and that mud over there is the place for their dad to be?"
When I was teaching, one of the saddest parts of my job was working against an attitude of apathy. Trying to get my high school students (sophomores mostly) passionate about something, anything even if it wasn't a book, seemed at times nearly impossible. I determined at some point that really it wasn't really necessary for students to enter my classroom with too many skills. Teaching them to read faster or more carefully, or write more smoothly was something I could work on. What I couldn't teach, and what I really hoped they still had a glimmer leftover from childhood, was a sense of curiosity.
I see glimpses of the teenager my son will someday be in his proclamations of "That's not fair!" and "Why don't I ever get what I want?" and "This is gross!" and even, horror of horrors, "This is boring!" However, the enthusiasm my son can still show for the discoveries of a day fills me with optimism and hope that I'm doing something right as a parent.

Awesome Friday! » Blog Archive Trailer: Jack the Giant Slayer - Awesome Friday!
Apologies for the lack of posting folks, real life happened a bit this week. Should be back up to speed by Saturday or so.
In the meantime, Jack the Giant Slayer got a new trailer.
Originally this was scheduled for last year. It certainly looks prettier than the original trailer but this one does a far worse job of selling me on the idea that it might actually be a good movie.

Is A Vegan Diet Safe for Children?
The short answer is yes. Meat is not essential for growth, or for a long and healthy life. The secret behind a winning vegan diet is planning, planning and planning!
Why is the vegan diet safe for children?
Just the other day, a journalist from a well-known publication asked me to comment on vegan diets and whether it was safe for children. Read the article that appeared in The Independent with my comments here.
This got me thinking, how many people think of veganism as a bizarre choice for children? Surely avoiding meat, dairy and eggs can't be sensible, right?
Like any diet, a plant-based diet can be a healthy and satisfying diet choice for a family, as long as you plan it carefully. It's a noble choice too. Did you know that veganism is not just about the diet?
It's a lifestyle choice aiming to exclude exploitation and cruelty to animals. For this reason, honey, as well as meat, fish, eggs and dairy, are avoided on a vegan diet.
Why honey? Contrary to what you may have thought, honey is made by bees for bees. It is essential for their well-being and survival. If you enjoy honey and need to switch, vegan choices include date, maple and golden syrups to list a few. The Vegan Society explains this beautifullyhere .
The vegan diet is not only safe for children but it also can be a "healthy" choice as it is low in saturated fat, particularly the fats found in processed meat linked to cancer.
Children following a balanced vegan diet could benefit from reduced heart disease risk, some types of cancer and type two diabetes as adults.
Vegan diets also present a fantastic opportunity for families to teach children about nutrition and healthy eating from an early age.
A vegan diet for children can be safe but remember that you will need to plan the diet carefully. Seek advice from a children's dietitian if you are not sure that your child is getting enough of the right nutrients.
With an individualised approach towards crucial nutrients, children can find vegan diets to be nourishing, tasty and varied.
Calories. A plant-based diet can be bulky and high in fibre so little tummies can get full very quickly. You can get around this by choosing starchy foods that are not too high in fibre. Use generous portions of fat in every meal.
Protein. Although vegetarian sources of protein are perfectly adequate, they could be high in fibre too. Protein foods that are also a source of fat are ideal as they provide calories, protein and important minerals. Useful examples to highlight this include ground nuts, seeds and nut butter.
Some plant-based milk free drinks such as soy are significantly higher in protein so do include these daily. With sensible choices, you can ensure that your child receives enough protein to grow.
Calcium. Dairy is the obvious source of calcium. Children need calcium for healthy bones and teeth. Children under the age of five also need a daily vitamin D supplement to aid absorption of calcium in the body.
Unlike adults who only need to maintain bone mass, children require calcium for on-going laying and building of bone. To meet children's high requirements for calcium, choose calcium-fortified milk free drinks and tofu.
Natural plant-based sources of calcium include dark greens, almonds, tahini, beans, dried fruit and broccoli.
Iron. Meat is undoubtedly the best source of iron, rich in a type known as haem-iron. This is readily absorbed by the body. That's not to say that plant foods are not 'good' sources. They are, but the type known as non-haem needs a little help with absorption from vitamin C.
Pair meals with vitamin C rich foods to boost absorption of plant iron.
Plant foods that are good sources of iron range from leafy green vegetables to pulses and nuts. For a free downloadable infographic on iron foods see Five Perfect Iron Rich Plant Foods.
Iron is also a key ingredient for beautiful hair. If your child suffers from ongoing hair loss, it may be worthwhile chatting to your doctor about a check for an underlying iron deficiency.
Omega-3 essential fats. These are heart healthy fats with an important role in the brain, nerve, and eye development in infants.
Vegan infants may require supplementing with DHA. Speak to your dietitian for further advice.
Our bodies can convert omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) and omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) found in plant oils, flaxseeds/linseeds, walnuts, soybeans and canola oil to AA and DHA to some extent. Cooking with canola and olive oils is one way of ensuring children receive these heart-healthy fats.
Avoid deep fried foods as the trans-fats present can slow down the absorption of omega-fats.
Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is made by micro-organisms not plants. Foods fortified with vitamin B12 or a vitamin supplement is the only reliable source.
Spriluna drinks are sadly not a proven source.
Very low B12 intakes can cause anaemia and nervous system damage, therefore, take care when choosing your vitamin B12 sources. In children, B12 deficiency may lead to loss of energy, appetite and failure to thrive.
When considering the vegan diet for children, choose vitamin B12 fortified breakfast cereals and plant milk to meet daily requirements. If your child will not take fortified foods then consider a daily multivitamin supplement consisting of vitamin B12.
Iodine. Would you be surprised if I told you that table salt is not commonly fortified with iodine in the UK? And since the iodine content of plant foods depends entirely on the amount found in the soil it was grown in, iodine content varies considerably.
A vegan diet for children will require some consideration of iodine. Some plant-based drinks are now fortified with iodine. If your child is not keen on any of the plant-based milk drinks, you may need to consider a calcium and iodine supplement.
The Vegan Society markets a daily vitamin and mineral supplement designed for vegans called VEG 1, providing reliable intakes of vitamins B12 and D, iodine and selenium.
In summary, the vegan diet for children is safe.
Plan your child's vegan diet carefully and consider a vitamin and mineral supplement to bridge any gaps between missing vitamins in your child's diet.
Offer starch/carbohydrates, fat and protein at every meal to ensure that your child gets enough calories to grow.
Snacks in-between meals with protein and fat are ideal for sneaking in additional calories.
Here's that article in The Independent again 'Benefits and risks of raising a vegan child, according to experts'. Remember, if you are keen on taking the vegan pledge, speak to a registered paediatric dietitian who can guide and support you through your journey.

Chorley is a market town in Lancashire, located approximately eight miles south of Preston and nine miles northwest of Bolton.
It is the biggest town in the Borough of Chorley, a district that encompasses settlements such as Adlington, Anderton, Astley Village, Clayton-le-Woods, Charnock Richard, Coppull, Eccleston, Euxton, Heath Charnock, Whittle-le-Woods, and Withnell. The current population of Chorley (borough) is 117,900.
Chorley – Lancashire's Market Town
Chorley has been a market town since the late 15th century. Market days for Chorley Covered Market are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It is one of the best markets in Lancashire, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to household goods. Tuesday is the busiest day, when the town's outdoor Flat Iron Market is also held.
Astley Hall is a historic country house set within the grounds of Astley Park. The Grade I listed building houses Chorley's museum and art gallery while the nearby Coach House is home to the Chorley Remembers Experience.
Astley Hall
Yarrow Valley Country Park is another park in the area worth visiting. The former industrial site is best known for its flora and wildlife but also boasts an excellent playground.

Maker's Mark Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey Bounty Hunter Private Selection No. 5
A highlight of every barrel selection trip is the unique process at Maker's Mark. The latest selection was produced by finishing Maker's elixir with 10 staves:
Baked American Pure - 2
Seared French Cuvee - 5
Maker's 46 - 1
Toasted French Spice - 1
We went heavy on the French oak this time and it give this whisky an unmistakable elegance with notes of caramel, toasted spice, a hint of vanilla and dried fruits. The signature sweet tones Maker's is known for is present and accounted for, yet well-accented by these stave additions. Crafting these whiskeys is among the most fun we have as buyers in this business. Take advantage of these one-of-a-kind releases while you can!
Add a Gift Box
Travel fewer than sixty miles from Louisville, through the gorgeous green landscape, and you'll arrive at a distillery with a reputation that dwarfs its footprint. Maker's Mark has been putting its stamp on the world of whiskey since Bill Samuels Sr. bought the old Burks Distillery in 1953, though it didn't really reach icon status until the mid-2000s. The brand's signature red-wax top and square bottle are unmistakable tractor beams that draw whiskey lovers in droves. With a reputation for quality and consistency, their small batch production has changed little over the years, with the introduction of just two new products in the last decade. Our recent visit to the distillery served as our reminder that this is one hell of a whiskey.

Pure: mental illness comedy
Channel 4 orders new mental illness comedy drama, Pure
Thursday 6th July 2017, 5:31pm
Pure, a new comedy drama about a young woman with OCD, is coming to Channel 4
The comedy drama is based on the real-life memoir of Rose Bretécher
It will be filmed and broadcast in 2018
Channel 4 has ordered a new 6-part comedy drama about a young woman with a mental illness.
Pure will follow Marnie, a 22 year-old who runs away to London to discover herself, having developed a severe - and undiagnosed - form of the mental condition obsessive compulsive disorder.
The channel explains: "22 year old Marnie is not OK. She may just seem quiet to others, but the noise inside her head is relentless. For the last 2031 days, she has been assailed by an incessant barrage of graphic x-rated thoughts that intrude, at the most inopportune of moments, on her day to day life. Whether she's sitting exams at university, waiting at a bus stop or passing strangers on a street, her life is interrupted by irrepressible sexual thoughts. Marnie has no idea what's wrong with her - Is she gay? A sex addict?? A pervert??? Why is she plagued by these mental images and what do they mean? Is that who she really is, deep down?"
The series has been written by Kirstie Swain, based on the real memoir of author, campaigner and journalist Rose Bretécher (pictured), and will begin filming early in 2018 for broadcast later in the year. No casting has yet been confirmed, and the show will be produced by Drama Republic; some of the team behind My Mad Fat Diary.
Producers add: "Now in her final year at university in Scotland, Marnie's anxiety has reached fever pitch. At breaking point, she packs a bag, jumps on the first available train and, unable to go home, ends up in London. She doesn't know a soul, not even herself. But the big city is the perfect place to reinvent yourself, right?
"Let loose in London, Marnie experiences the wonder and terror of the city unfolding itself before her; rooftop parties, impossibly crowded tubes, and midnight adventures. She soon finds out she's not the only one who's lost, however, as she meets a host of other characters who alternatively help and hinder her during her unique journey to find her real self.
"Unbeknownst to Marnie as she embarks on this journey of self-discovery, she's actually caught in the grip of an excruciating form of obsessive compulsive disorder - nicknamed 'pure O' - where her obsessions take the form of intrusive thoughts, often sexual, and the compulsions are unseen mental rituals that deeply affect her daily life and her relationships."
Channel 4 conclude: "It is a moving, warm and truthful exploration of one young woman's search for herself and her very real struggle with mental illness. It explores what it means to be a young woman today, what it means to discover a whole new world. It's about finding new friends, and most importantly, about falling in love."
Rose Bretécher says: "When I wrote my memoir, Pure, my mental health condition was virtually unheard of, and my thoughts were deeply taboo. Now, to collaborate on its adaptation with such a talented, diligent, witty team, is an extraordinary validation and privilege. As my story is reimagined on-screen, we have a unique opportunity to reach untold thousands of people who have lived for years, as I did, in secrecy and shame. To humanise their darkest experiences, to empower them to change, and to give them new hope."
Kirstie Swain, writer, says: "I've always been an obsessive-worrier and over-thinker...or maybe it's the other way round. It runs through me like a stick of rock. While I don't suffer from Rose's exact condition, Pure resonated so deeply with me because I can absolutely relate to the experience of being an outer calm and an inner cyclone. I'm so glad to be making this show with Drama Republic and Channel 4. It embodies everything I want to say as a woman and as a writer and it gives voice to the often silent issue of mental health."
Beth Willis, Head of Drama at Channel 4, says: "Kirstie's scripts truly crackle with her searingly honest portrayal of the high points and horrors of being young. They are endlessly witty, wise and wonderful. We are so thrilled that she and the brilliant producers of My Mad Fat Diary will soon be landing on Channel 4."
Roanna Benn, Executive Producer for Drama Republic, adds: "We are so thrilled that Rose has entrusted her deeply personal, brave and wonderfully candid memoir to us. And we couldn't be prouder that this will be screenwriter Kirstie Swain's first original series. Kirstie is a fearless writer: funny, idiosyncratic and deep! At Drama Republic we love bold and extraordinary female protagonists and Pure will feature one like no other. We hope that Marnie will burst onto our screens and into our audience's hearts like she has ours."
The series will be on air late in 2018.

Rose Bretécher - Pure
Rose Bretécher has OCD, but not as you know it. Pure is the true story of her life with intrusive sexual thoughts - a rampant but little-known symptom of the disorder. It tracks her farcical ten-year path to redemption, from the time she was first seized by graphic mental images to her eventual recovery through therapy, acceptance and love.
The book describes her obsessive questioning of her identity and her compulsive search for an answer: driving across the world in a double-decker bus; debating the respective erotic allure of Cherie and Tony Blair; watching Jake Gyllenhaal's face turn into a chubby vagina... Eventually, after stepping back from the iron railings of a snow-swept balcony in east London, she finds joy in the inescapable truth that when it comes to who we are, there are no neat conclusions.
At its core, Pure is about uncertainty and insecurity, and how trying to banish these things in the pursuit of happiness will paradoxically make us unhappy. It's about finding beauty in greyness, and embracing the unfathomable weirdness of the human mind.

Q: Sencha Touch Cordova iOS app takes more than 20 seconds to load and shuts down My sencha touch cordova app which runs fine on all android devices and iPhones as well except for iPhone 6s. When I build and deploy the app on iPhone 6 and tap on it to start, I see the splash screen for 20 seconds and ios shuts it down since it takes more than 20 seconds to load. Weird thing is the same .ipa works fine on iPhone 6 which has the same ios version and built the exact same way. Any pointers on how I can debug whats going wrong with the app on this device particularly?
More details about my app :
Sencha Touch version : 2.4.2
Cordova version on my machine : 6.1.1
iOS version of iPhone 6s : 9.3.2
using Terminal on Mac to build code using following commands :
sencha app build native

cordova build ios --device

This gives me the ipa file which I then install using iTunes on to the iPhone 6s.
Also it works fine in xcode simulator - only takes more than 20 seconds to load on a real device.

A: I am not sure how this exactly worked but I converted the app from an universal app to a iphone only app in xcode build settings and archived the .ipa using xcode itself - deployed it using iTunes and it started working fine - did not do any changes to code or anywhere else.

Trial Notes, 5-22-07
I get to the Orange line a few seconds too late and miss the 8 am bus. I catch the next one about five minutes later. I finished y book over the weekend, and forgot to put another inside my purse this morning. On the transit news feed, there's an ad for FOLICARE. It's for male pattern baldness. There are a few beside me on the bus who could use this product, but they don't seem to be interested.
Passengers perk up when news of the Spector trial comes on the screen. Other news reported was about the young actor who crashed his car and a passenger was killed. He took a guilty plea. I didn't catch whether he's been sentenced yet. I see a grown man totally engrossed in a Superman Comic Book, with his girlfriend asleep, leaning on his shoulder. Even though I was late, I still make the 8:30 Red Line train. This is good. It means I should get to the rear of the Criminal Court Building by about 9:05 am. I see a woman applying her make up on the train. I make a judgment call, that she's putting on way too much blush on her face. The air is not very good on the train today. It's quite stuffy.
I finally reach the 9th floor. I see Mr. Dunne and the Dunleavy guy who was here yesterday. Michelle is sitting with Dominick. The auburn haired Dateline reporter is here. Harriet Ryan and David K. Li are chatting away. No Spector yet. DeSouza arrives with his entourage. Two hefty bodyguard like guys accompany him into the courtroom. Right afterwards, the jurors file past the hallway into the courtroom. Now the Spector entourage arrives. His purchased wife Rachelle Short on one arm, and a bodyguard on either side of them and one in front.
An inmate from the jail is brought into court 107 in a wheelchair. I notice injuries to his scalp as he passes me. Mr. Dunne smiles and says hello. John Spano (who was yawning when he arrived in the hallway) is looking around smiling going, "Okay! Here we are again!" We are finally led into the courtroom, and the reporters are all settling into their favorite viewing spots. It's 9:30 and we haven't started yet. I see the court reporter emerge from the judge's chambers.
The family arrives with their tall attorney with jet black hair. The Dateline reporter moves in to talk to the attorney, and it's just the two of them by themselves talking now. Ed arrives and it looks like he got a haircut. And he's not wearing his glasses. I wonder if he's got contacts in. The attorney's exit the judges chambers now, so they were in camera. Jackson and Dixon step off by themselves right next to the witness box to discuss something. There are five elderly gentlemen all sitting together in the row behind me. These are some new trial watchers that I haven't seen before. Rochelle is writing on some paper; looks like a notepad. It's hard to see from where I'm sitting.
The judge is on the bench and there is something, possibly about what was said in chambers. There are no improprieties on behalf of juror #6. The hearing they just had will be part of the official transcript. Private information will be redacted from the e-mails. Spector and the defense attorneys stand, everyone else gets up, and the jury files in.
DeSouza is still on redirect. The prosecution resumes playing the video tape exhibit of DeSouza's interview with detectives. The jurors have copies of the transcript of the interview. Most are not watching the video, but reading along with the transcript. Oh wait, #9 is watching the video. Looking at the thickness of the transcript the jurors are holding, it appears they are not even half way through this video.
So, I settle in to watch the jurors. Mostly the jurors are reading, and I see the judge is watching the video. It's very difficult to understand because the sound quality is terrible. The judge is looking at the transcript now. I write out this note to Steven: "CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ANYTHING?" Steven shakes his head no. Adriano DeSouza is sitting in the front row. How strange that must be for him, to watch and listen to his interview with police. I'm wondering what Rochelle is writing in that notepad, since she's still writing. One of the bodyguards is reading a book while the video plays. Judge still watching the video.
From the video:
"Why did you call the secretary first?"
I don't know. I don't know.
I note the date and time on the tape: 2-3-0 12:24:51 am
Now, DeSouza is explaining his movements after calling Michelle Baine, Spector's secretary. And then, there it is on the tape. "I think I, killed; I think I killed somebody." This is so damaging to the defense. I see Rachelle is resting her hand to her face, her fingers on her forehead; her thumb on her chin. I see juror #9 say something to juror #8. #8 looks over the gallery, almost like he's searching for a face. Michelle and Dominick exchange notes. On the video now, DeSouza is imitating for the detectives how Spector was talking and slurring his words. The detectives go through his statements again.
DeSouza: "I think I killed somebody."
Detective: "You're sure about what you heard?"
DeSouza: "Yes."
It's 10:15 am and they're almost through the tape. Maybe 10 to 15 pages more of video. The still photographer drops his camera! It lands on one of the Court TV camera operator's head! Everyone turns to look to see what happened. Juror #9 looks out at the gallery. He doesn't follow the last few pages of transcript. On the video, the detective tells DeSouza, "It's going to be a big case. Whomever he (Spector) hires, I can guarantee, he will hire investigators to look into you and try to talk to you."
It was obvious on the video that DeSouza was totally freaked out by what happened. The attorneys have a side bar at the bench at the end of the video. Jackson collects the transcripts, and DeSouza is back on the stand.
Unfortunately in my notes, I forget to document if DeSouza is under cross or direct. I believe he's under cross, and that Brunon is conducting it.
DeSouza says that Detective Pinyeta (sp?) gave him a ride to the police station. 5:10 am was the 911 call. Around 6 am, DeSouza says that was the next time that he saw Spector again. That was when the police escorted him from the house. Brunon is really trying to get DeSouza to say he could be wrong about what he heard. The prosecution objects now to several questions in a row being improper. The defense is really try to get him to focus on the fact that on the tape, after he tells them Spector's words, "I think I killed somebody," right afterwards on the tape he says, "I think, I'm not sure." DeSouza explains on the stand, "I said that to Mr. Pinyeta because I'm not sure he understood what I said."
Spectors elbows are on the table; fingers inter clasped and his hands shaking. Now the defense is going over the condition of Spector and whether or not he was drunk at the time he emerged from the house. Also re questioning DeSouza on the "shoulder shrugging." The defense is digging away at those inconsistencies. I mostly see Mr. Jackson from the back, his fingertips pressed together. His chin resting on his fingers. I'm betting he's really focused right now. Juror #9 yawns the same time I do. I watch Spector clench his hands together into a fist like clasp. I can't see totally, but it sure looks like Rachelle is taking notes still on that pad. Maybe she's writing a letter? She appears now to be looking at the jury. She looks up, then looks down for a bit, but I can't see her hands. So I'm not sure what she is doing, except looking down at her lap a lot.
Q: You said: "I want someone to direct me." What did that mean?
A: To help me to explain what I had to do.
The defense asks DeSouza more questions on the deportation issue and then Brunon finally says, no more questions.
Jackson steps up to do the redirect.
Q: Who asked Lana back to the Castle?
A: Phil
Q: Did he ask one time?
Q: Did he ask two times?
Q: Did he ask three times?
A: Around three times.
Q: You were subpoenaed?
Q: Are you mistaken about what you saw, what you heard that day?
And DeSouza is finally off the stand! The court is on break. The cameraman who was hit in the head with a camera had a set of headphones on, so maybe it didn't bump his head too hard. Another reporter leans into him and says, "The judge was concerned about you. He looks over at you a few times." The camera operator replies, "Maybe he was looking at you," (meaning, the cameraman who dropped the camera!)
Spector is standing alone at the defense table. He comes over to his wife and they both exit the courtroom. I talk for a bit to Dominick, but a man interrupts by coming up to Dominick and fawns all over him. Dominick says, "It's always nice when people say something nice to you." I reply to him, "You have a big fan club." Mr. Dunne replies, "It happened to me late in life. I still have trouble getting used to it. That was a terrible cross by Brunon from start to finish!" We then discuss Dr. Henry Lee. Dominick does not hold back on how he feels about how he feels about Dr. Lee. I say, "It will be interesting to see if they put Dr. Lee on the stand." Dominick replies, "Did you see that? him on the stand, where he got all arrogant? I've head him tell that joke so many times."
We talk about the missing evidence and I tell Dominick, "I think Dr. Lee lost it. He said on the stand it was a private case and not a state case. That procedures were not as precise. He kept claiming, no one told him what to do with the evidence. I don't believe it. I think he lost it. Dominick says, "I can't stand him. The jurors (in the past), they fawn all over him, even though there was no jury there."
Back in the courtroom, it's 11:20 am and we're back on the record.
The next witness is Sandra Hill, and Dixon will take her direct examination.
Sandra is a Public Safety Dispatch Supervisor, in charge of the sheriff's office computerized systems. She's worked for the Sheriff's Dept. seventeen years. She is also familiar with the 911 system in Los Angeles County. The witness goes into detail on how 911 calls made from cell phones were routed back in February, 2003. The system archives all calls on a DVD, and they are held for 180 days. She testifies that "We search for calls on our system for that date (2-3-07). We only found one call. The computer searches by date and by location." There is a two page document of that single call put up on the Elmo.
Rosen gets up to cross the witness.
Rosen is plodding through everything, going over the witness's testimony in detail. I think the defense strategy is to put these jurors to sleep!
Q: Can you tell (from the report) if an ambulance was sent?
A: No, I can not.
Redirect:
The witness says the training process for 911 operators is a very lengthy process. At least four weeks. After that, there is one on one training to ensure they are properly trained to handle calls.
Recross
Rosen: This will be brief.
Judge: I wouldn't believe it.
Rosen points out that the call says, "lady lying on the ground.
I see the judge rub his face.
The witness replies that the operators are trained to write what was said.
When the witness is finally done with cross, the judge jokingly says that she can discuss her testimony.
The next witness is called. Gamaliel Catalan. Unfortunately, I don't have in my notes who conducts the direct examination. I believe it's Dixon though. She is a communications Supervisor for Alhambra P.D. He supervises the communication center. Two shifts of employees. The witness says that they are the Public Safety Answering point.
It's 12 noon, and Judge Fidler says, "And although we're on the edge of our seats..."
Laughter fills the courtroom.
Updated 6-14-07 12:12am
Lunch is about over. It's about 1:18 pm, and a man comes up to court with some papers for Spector. It's a large envelope, and it gets passed to the two bodyguards there. One reporter says, "Maybe it's a fingernail." Finally, we are allowed to enter the courtroom. Cutler saunters in. Linda Deutsch and Roger Rosen are having a conversation. Steve Dunleavy, the legendary New York Post reporter who punched out Spector years ago is in the courtroom today. Rochelle has her hair up and pulled back, and it's obvious she's got a hair piece, blondish curls handing down. Steven speculates that maybe it's one of Phil's hair pieces on her head. The court is now trying to determine if the coroner has a conflict of scheduling. He's scheduled to testify in courtroom 104 regarding a child abuse case.
Direct continues of the communications supervisor, Gamaliel Catalan.
Catalan testifies that he located one call, transfer from the CHP. A search of their records revealed "no calls" to be found from that residence made from land lines. The 911 call document is put up on the screen.
Direct is over, and Rosen steps up to cross the witness.
This is unbelievably tedious. Rosen is asking what term would you use to describe the document. He's asking what all the little codes mean, and the witness explains. Rosen then asks if he can tell which words are spoken by the dispatcher, and which were spoken by the caller.
Rosen then goes on with his tone of voice, that this is a big deal, that we can't tell who said what. Rosen points out on the document that at 5:56:10 am, one subject confirmed dead. And the witness replies that just means the dispatcher documented information he received over the radio.
Q: Do you know who handled the call?
A: Bobbick.
Q: do you know which officer, CHP she spoke with?
A: I don't know.
Cross if finally finished, and redirect begins.
Q: What type of training (do the dispatchers receive)?
A: 120 hours of basic dispatch training, then they are one 24 hour training.
Q: Why is it important to be accurate?
A: To dispatch resources in an accurate manner.
There are a few more questions about the dispatchers probing the caller to get more information and then redirect is done.
Recross.
Q: Is it correct that you have found errors have occurred?
A: Human nature.
And finally, we are done with this witness. The next witness is Officer Sean Heckers. I forget to write in my notes who is performing the direct examination.
Officer Heckers is a with the City of Alhambra, and on February 3, 2003, he was assigned to patrol duty.
Q: Were you in uniform, and drove a black and white?
A: Yes sir, I did.
Q: How long at that time (were you with the Alhambra PD)?
A: Eight years.
Q: What shift (were you working)?
A: Day. I started a 6 am and went to 6 pm.
Q: How many days?
A: Three days a week.
Q: Had you ever been to 1700 Grand View before?
A: No I had not.
The witness confirms that he was just ordered to report there and assist. He was assigned to transport Spector back to the Alhambra police station. He identifies Spector as the individual he transported. The witness says his memory is not clear as to whether or not he was handcuffed while in the cruiser, but it's rare that a suspect wouldn't be handcuffed when being transported.
The witness testifies that he was told to administer a GSR residue kit. He explains the kits are uniquely numbered and what the kit consists of, and the procedures that are followed to administer the test. The witness was previously with the San Marino, PD. This was the first time he did the GSR test kit in the field. Once the test was completed, he booked it into evidence.
Q: Do you remember if an Alhambra paramedic or fireman came by?
A: To be honest, I can't recall.
Q: Did you go to another facility, to have a sex test kit done?
Q: What was the facility?
A: San Gabriel Valley Medical Center.
After this test, Officer Gullam Santan (sp?) escorted Spector back to the station. Photos of Spector were put on the screen. These are his Polaroid booking photos. He was then taken to the jail. End of direct examination.
Linda Kenney Baden is to do the cross. I can see that she's working from a large spiral notebook. "I'm not sure I've met you. You look like the Judge's brother," LKB says. And the judge makes a comment about that. The witness states that he didn't know Spector, just knew of the property. LKB now goes over the witnesses transcript of his (prior grand jury???) testimony. LKB asks him in detail about the GSR test, going over every tiny detail of the test, and asking him if he knows "why" certain procedures are followed. LKB is also trying to insinuate, through her questions, that GSR could have been in the back of the patrol car where Spector was handcuffed with his hands behind his back.
LKB asks how many suspects in that car a week before? Two weeks before? How about on the bench that Spector sat on at the jail? What type of guns do they carry in your department? All these questions to try to imply that the GSR found on Spector wasn't from the murder weapon, but from the police car or bench he sat on, at the station.
Break is finally called. Spector left the courtroom. Rachelle sits in the back row with a bodyguard. Roger Rosen comes over to Dominick to deliver a message from someone they must both know. Rosen chats a bit about his computer workstation in the house, or his daughter's workstation. It was a funny conversation. Rosen says he's not real computer literate. Steven says, "We know where this GSR stuff is going!" There are some new trial watchers in the gallery staring at Steve Dunleavy.
Break is over, and we're back on cross.
LKB continues with the GSR nightmare cross. Boring, boring questions. LKB paces when she asks questions, and her tone is a bit loud and has an accusatory tone. The prosecution just made it's second objection to a question, and the Judge calls up counsel for a side bar. Then the Judge is in his chambers, the attorneys are in front of the clerk's desk, and it's a waiting game here. Now, we're back on the record.
There are more questions about Spector being handcuffed in front verses being handcuffed in back. Baden asks if the other officers had guns, and then the type of vehicle Spector was transported in. This is all just to get these questions in the jurors mind. Now she's talking about the rape kit exam, and if Spector disrobed in front of him.
Q: Did you see the nurse (Caruso) pluck anal hairs from him?
A: I don't recall that specifically.
Q: Were you there when genital hairs were plucked?
Q: After he disrobed, and went through the sexual assault exam, did you see Nurse Caruso, swab under his nails (and use) a light source through his hair?
A: I believe so.
Now, more questions back on GSR, and if he knew the reason why it was important to fill out all the documentation. (It's basically a trick question, because if you don't give every possibility, then the attorney can come back and say, "Well, what about this? Didn't you learn this reason, too?")
Cross is finally over and redirect begins.
There are questions about the patrol cars being cleaned on a regular basis, and it's here where we learn that the back seats of patrol cars are plastic and contoured, so that you can have your hands rest more comfortably behind your back while sitting in the car. And the witness testifies that the presence of guns in the back of a patrol car is very rare.
LKB is not going to let this go, she has to recross! Groan!
Q: You can't testify to the technicality of GSR transfer can you? You can't testify as to cleaning, how often? How many suspects who could have had GSR (on them)?
Finally, she's done, and the prosecution has no more questions. We're finally onto the next witness, Michael Brown (Fireman Brown), and Patrick Dixon handles the direct examination.
He is employed by the Alhambra fire Department. At the time of the event, he had been a firefighter/paramedic for one year. Fireman Brown details his training. In Alhambra, they rotate onto a fire engine in addition to paramedic work. He testifies that he was dispatched ot Alhambra Jail at 6:16 pm on February 3, 2003, for a patient who was tazed.
Q: What does "tazed" mean?
The witness says that he just knows what the public knows, and describes what he knows of tazing. The break is finally called. I'm about to fall asleep.
Q: So, it was at Alhambra Police Station where you met Phil Spector?
A: That's correct.
Q: You went to see if he was okay?
A: Yes. It's very common that we go down there to check on a patient.
The witness saw him on a silver bench. His partner evaluated Spector, and he documented everything. They work together. They evaluate for basic human functions. A.B.C. Airway, Breathing, Conscious. The witness states that Spector, "Wasn't talking too much."
Q: Did he seem to be okay?
Q: Were there any marks on his skin from the tazer?
The witness and his partner went through the primary and secondary assessment. They asked Spector if he wanted to go to the hospital. He declined. They took a medial assessment, listed meds, etc. Anything Spector might be taking. And that's it. Direct is done.
LKB performs the cross, and starts as usual, by introducing herself. LKB gets the witness to verify that he and his partner were called at a little after 6:00 pm, and that he filled out some forms documenting the visit and treatment. LKB gets the witness to admit that they only spent about seven and a half minutes with Spector total. She now asks about the tazering of Spector.
A: I was looking over my partner's shoulder. The barbs were not attached. The witness said he looked down Spector's shirt.
Q: But you didn't see down "here" (LKB points to her waist area).
A: No, I did not.
The witness states that an EMT-Paramedic has more advanced training than just a regular EMT. LKB is now going over the report he filled out with him. On the report is written "diabetes."
Q: What are you looking for when someone is tazered?
A: Checking to see if the barbs are still in the skin. If the patient is uncomfortable; in pain.
THIS IS SO BORING! Finally! Cross is finished and redirect starts.
Dixon gets the witness to state that if there are no medical complaints, then the Paramedics give no treatment.
LKB gets up to RECROSS! Sheesh!
Q: You gave him a glaucoma score? Did not find any obvious signs of alcohol?
Court is finally over for the day. The witness is done. Finally! Steven said that he needed a tazer jolt. Tomorrow they will continue with the inquiry into the missing evidence.
I have already transcribed the judge's ruling and posted it here, but I still need to add a few notes covering where Sara Caplan was called to the stand one last time.

Newlands Cricket School
This institution is based at Sahara Park Newlands, the world renowned cricket field which is considered one of the greatest cricketing stadiums in the world. The school is housed in the Century Club on the 3rd floor at the Southern end of the field. The school also uses the facilities at Western Province Cricket Club (WPCC), a mere stone's throw away. WPCC also boasts facilities comparable with anything the world can offer, from Cricket fields, indoor nets, astro turf hockey pitches, gymnasiums, squash courts, tennis courts, bowling fields and wonderful catering facilities. A first of its kind in Cape Town, this school offers Grades 8 to 12 to its learners, starting this year by enrolling grade 8's for 2015. The school will only accept grade 8 and grade 9 learners for 2015. Applicants will be assessed by coaches on the school's staff, in terms of their cricket ability and only those players with an above average ability to play cricket will be accepted. Players who show real potential but who have as yet not developed fully, will also be considered. The school will follow the curriculum of the Western Cape Education Department(WCED) and will comply with all the curriculum requirements as set out by the WCED.
Teaching staff will be registered with the South African Council of Educators SACE, whilst cricket coaches will be at least level 2 compliant coaches. The school's core activity will be cricket development, players will be exposed to the best possible programmes, workshops and practice sessions. Added to this, players will be exposed to many, many games on weekdays and over weekdays, in all formats, 15 overs, 20 overs 35 overs, 50 overs and even 2 day cricket.
Players will be taken on many mini tours over weekends to Oustshoorn, Worcester, Paarl, longer tours to Port Elizabeth, East London, Durban, Bloemfontein, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Kimberley. There will also be an overseas tour in the South African winter. Whilst on tour, teachers will accompany the players, thereby ensuring that players are kept up to date with their schoolwork.
WPCA General Manager, Nabeal Dien said, "The new Newlands Cricket school, the initiative of forward thinking individuals and at the forefront is Shaheed Shaik who has successfully established 3 (three) private high schools around Cape Town. I have known Mr Shaik since the 1980's when he was Paarl's delegate to the Western Province Cricket Board.Shaheed is a person passionate about education and it seems more passionate about the game of cricket. He represented Boland as captain in the 1980's and was instrumental in developing junior cricket in Paarl and subsequent to that has been integrally involved with junior cricket in the Western Province structure for more than a decade. His involvement was highlighted by the success of his Under 13 Western Province Cricket Club side who won the Provincial U13 Feedem Pitseng tournament for two years (2013 and 2014) and this after the Under 13 team failed to attain this honour for three consecutive years. It is my contention that given his vast experience and passion for education as well as cricket , this initiative will provide a natural fit for ensuring a successful cricket school.
Western Province Cricket Association and its Amateur Department are excited about this initiative and its implementation as we have always subscribed to these values of education, access and opportunity – Education through cricket."

Would it be possible if a grade 11 student would be given the oppurtunity to attend this facility so that the association could help develop him into a world class cricketer and that his dream get's fulfilled , his dream of one day playing for CSA
leander van oordt
Dear Shahied
I heard you on the radio now about your cricket school. I believe that my son is huge cricket potential and that, given an opportunity can reach far. My son comes from a very rich cricket history background, his farther, grandfather and uncles. He is currently playing, when not for the school at Tigers Cricket club as his dad and his grandpa and uncles has done so.
My son, Quinn is now grade 6, but I am interested in you school and was wondering if you can provide me more information on the school and if there's a waiting list. We would also like to apply for any scholarship as Quinn is also above 80% learner. Actually, he is a very hard worker. I will go through you web page, but it would be great if you can make contact.

The Inception, The foundation Pillar
Big things often have small beginnings; that was the guiding principle and passion of Mr. Raj Mehra. After earning two undergraduate degrees from India, he came to the United States with a dream to study and work in the 1980s. Attaining a Computer Science degree from the University of Maryland. Soon enough, with his passion and skill, he started his journey by working for the aerospace giant "Grumman" in data systems, in parentheses under the New York state welfare management systems. Later he became a very accomplished consultant for the GDSI. After working there for a considerable amount of time, his childhood vision struck. Which was to change the world in the tiniest form, so he could make society a better place by finding ethical solutions to the challenges in life. He decided to take a calculative risk by leaving his secure and well-paying job at "Grumman. and putting everything at stake in 1986. Mr. Mehra always had a vision of creating and advancing; therefore. he founded Raj Technologies Inc (RTI), formerly known as Infosys International, then began his triumphal journey with anticipation and courage in his heart. He was confident in his brave endeavours. Utilizing his passion and morals as a beacon to guide him through the uncertainty of the business world. he set out to make a fortune for himself. The company operated from one of the bedrooms in Mr. Raj's home with a single computer and two floppy discs with 64k memory in the early stages. That implies we just need to work hard, honestly. with high integrity to succeed. And thus, accelerating the growth that built the foundation of RTI.

Where is Britain's Rubbish Going?
Home » Recycling » Where is Britain's Rubbish Going?
We are in times of trouble when it comes to rubbish and recyclables. You may or may not know that over the last few years, China has been cutting down on the amount and quality of waste and recyclables that they will take from Britain. In January 2018, those limits became incredibly strict, putting Britain in a very difficult position.
The problem worsens
In the past, we sent recyclables to China to be recycled, and non-recyclable waste either went to our landfills, incinerators or to export markets. According to the National Audit Office, and the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), we are no longer quite sure what is happening to our exported waste, with the presumption now being that some of it is going to foreign landfills.
In the UK, businesses which produce a large enough amount of waste must prove that a certain amount of that is being recycled. These 7,000 businesses are not being being well enough supported by DEFRA, if it appears that exported waste is in fact going to landfill. That creates a breakdown in the chain that can only lead to further mismanagement of waste.
Where is it going?
China used to take almost all of our recyclable waste, but now it's going to Turkey, Malaysia, Poland and Thailand, to name just a few. The problem is, these countries are not taking good, clean, recyclable waste, they are taking dirty, contaminated and unwanted waste, which accounts for about a third of our domestic recyclables. These poor quality materials are exported to countries who will take them, rather than countries who can properly handle and treat them. This is what increases the risk of pollution and landfill usage.
What about when it's not going to foreign landfills?
Contaminated waste is a real problem, and if we can't find export markets for it, it usually goes straight to the incinerator. In fact, the UK is sadly on the verge of becoming an incinerating nation, rather than a recycling one, as the incineration rates look set to leapfrog their counterpart.
Already, three regions in England are burning more than they recycle. These regions are London, the West Midlands and the North East. At this rate, because of all the extra waste we have (due to China shutting their doors), we are expected to burn more waste than we recycle in less than a year.
The most drastic figure you need to see is that between 2012 and 2017, recycling rates stayed essentially the same, whilst incineration rates rose by 81%.
Incinerators create energy for local communities, but they also create lethargy and repeal the hard work done over the last couple of decades in creating a recycling ethic and resourceful mentality in Britain. Councils will not work as hard to recycle if they have the option of incinerating waste, and that's a fact. The only case in which incineration should be used is as a last resort, or for contaminated and completely unrecyclable materials.
What we've now created is an incinerator industry, with machines that need to be fed, and long term material contracts for councils. The areas in Britain where incinerators have become popular are showing a deep decline in recycling.
What are ClickaSkip doing to help?
We work in the private sector, meaning our contracts, recycling routes and disposal methods are quite different to domestic waste collected by your council. We don't like using the landfill or incineration, and so we make sure they are our last resort.
The waste collected from you, our valued customers, is handled responsibly, separated, and then recycled into the many routes that we set up with sustainably-focused partners around the world.

Blog 2022 JUNO Awards
Underground dance is getting the recognition it deserves
Traditional Indigenous music encompasses the many unique vocal styles, instruments, and songs created by artists and groups from Indigenous Nations across Canada. Each song has different origins, teachings, purposes, and is rooted in Indigenous people's spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional connections to the land and cultures they belong to.
When the JUNO award for Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year was created in 1994, it was always the intention of CARAS to create a second category that focused exclusively on celebrating traditional Indigenous music. This past year that goal was finally realized when the Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year category was split into two separate categories – contemporary and traditional.

Unlike the original award category which honoured both contemporary and traditional artists, Traditional Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year aims to provide space and opportunities for Indigenous artists and groups who have historically been underrepresented within the preexisting category's nominees and winners. With the introduction of this new award, the JUNOS will promote and help preserve traditional styles of music such as pow wow songs, round dance songs, hand drum songs, and many more.
"I think it's a blessing and it was something that was a long time coming," the inaugural Traditional Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year award winner Fawn Wood told Windspeaker.com. "At one time it was illegal to sing our music. But this is the music that has been on this land forever."
But not all music that has emerged from Indigenous communities is traditional. For years, artists such as a Buffy Sainte-Marie, Snotty Nose Rez Kids, and Halluci Nation (formerly known as A Tribe Called Red) have been fusing together the contemporary and traditional by incorporating Indigenous narratives, instruments, and singing styles into various genres. The Contemporary Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year category now exists to celebrate musical contributions such as these by recognizing the work of Indigenous musicians in any genre.

"I think it's amazing," said the 2022 Contemporary Indigenous Album of the Year award winner DJ Shub whose music blends together powwow, electronic, and hip hop. "I think that breaking it up like this really helps individual artists who are mixing that contemporary with the traditional. I think this category is just going to open up a floodgate of all the amazing artists who are out there."
With the introduction of the second Indigenous music category, the JUNO Awards are also able to honour and showcase more Indigenous artists while broadening the reach and understanding of Indigenous music and culture in Canada. "The more awards and the more spotlight on Indigenous artists, the better," first-time JUNO nominee and singer-songwriter Jayli Wolf told CBC.
Submissions for the 2023 JUNO Awards Presented TD are now open until Friday, October 28th at 11:59PM ET. For more information visit junosubmissions.ca.
