Scriplets have several major advantages over using <serverObject> to call a normal Java method.
Scriptlets put business logic right next to the relevant persistence operation instead of in a separate .java file.
Scriptlets are compiled and executed dynamically, so you don't need to recompile or redeploy server code to try out changes. Just edit your DataSource, then reload the page or retry the operation. Our framework will automatically detect the modified DataSource and uses the updated scriptlet. Note that scriplets are only recompiled when you change them, so they'll only be compiled once in the final deployment of your application.
Developers do not have to know more than one language to work with the code for your application.
Scriptlets can easily be moved into normal .java files if they are identified as reusable, become too large to manage in a .ds.xml file, or if the (small) performance boost of compiling them to .class files is desired. There is no need to translate from some other language into Java.
For these reasons we recommend using Server Scripting with Java – even for teams that would not normally consider adopting a "scripting language".
Direct Method Invocation (DMI) scriptlets are declared by adding a <script> tag to an <operationBinding> or <DataSource> tag. Like DMI logic declared via <serverObject>, DMI scriptlets can be used to add business logic by modifying the DSRequest before it is executed, modifying the default DSResponse, or taking other, unrelated actions.
Scriplet Validators are declared by adding a <serverCondition> tag to a <validator> definition. Like a validator declared via <serverObject>, a scriptlet validator defines whether data is valid by running arbitrary logic, then returning true or false.
For example, the following DMI scriptlet enforces a security constraint where all operations on the DataSource will involve the sessionId so a user can only view and modify their own records.
There is no need for a formal class or method definition even though Java is used – the context of a DMI Script is always the same, and the Server Scripting system avoids the need to add this "boilerplate code".

1031 INTER-CONNECTEDNESS OF OUR UNIVERSE: A PARALLEL TRADITION IN PURSUIT OF TRUTH
Emeritus Professor Anwar Mall, senior scholar, Department of Surgery, UCT
This course celebrates attempts by scientists, physicists and academics who have brought an understanding of scientific complexity to the world through popular writings. They bring a sense of inter-connectedness that links the disparate into unified wholes through unifying ideas: the Big-Bang Model of the Universe from a singularity to a hot and chaotic Universe which produced conscious beings with agency and purpose; the atomic nature of matter; the universality of the DNA of every living organism; the immersion of the entire Universe in space-time and the laws of special and general relativity and evolution, which explains the diversity of life from a point of unity. Connections are highlighted taking a book per lecture, exploring how ideas therein, with related works, provided a better understanding of reality.
1. A fascination for connections
2. Science and spirituality
3. The unification of knowledge
4. The brain and the mind in literature
5. Politics and culture of human origins

Professor Anwar Mall completed his schooling in Greytown, Kwazulu-Natal, and then read for a BSc at the University of Durban-Westville, majoring in Physiology and Biochemistry. He completed his BSc (Med) Hons and MSc (Surgical Sciences) in the Faculty of Health Sciences at UCT under the mentorship of Emeritus Professors Wieland Gevers and Rosemary Hickman of the Departments of Medical Biochemistry and Surgery respectively. He then read for a PhD at the University of Newcastle-Upon- Tyne, UK, which was entitled, 'Gastro-duodenal Mucus Isolation and Structure', in the laboratory of Adrian Allen, who formulated the first model of mucin structure. Mall returned to Cape Town and the Department of Surgery in which he established a mucus research laboratory, the first one on the continent. Mall was the warden of various UCT residences for more than two decades and before his retirement served as the Deputy Portfolio Manager for Student Support in the Health Sciences Faculty, the Chair of the College of Wardens and as acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Transformation for the UCT.


This starts with a flashback to when he Burnhams' laboratory was attacked by Klingons, Michael's mother donned the time travel suit to go back in time an hour and warn them of the attack. She instead arrived 950 years in the future to find all sentient life destroyed by Control.
Tethering herself to a nearby planet, Dr. Burnham made over 840 attempts to change the future, including moving humans to her planet, Terralysium, to test how she can change history.
More sprinklings of plot-oniom. Just when it seems Lyeland can be killed, he escapes.
"I like science," says Spock, stating the obvious.


I've been fortunate to live in cities that had wonderful rescue zoos. As a young child, my mom would take me to the Brownsville Porter Zoo. I remember the awe and wonder I felt observing and soaking in all the nuances of the animals - each curve and color so defining and unique. Later, I lived near the San Diego and Phoenix Zoos. I would spend hours photographing and then reviewing each individual animal. Always such a fondness for animals, I believe they hold such a vault of wisdom for the human. If you are ever near the Austin Rescue and Rehabilitation Zoo or the San Antonio Zoo you should definitely spend some time visiting. When asked what my favorite animal is, I'm always stumped. I'd have to say, my favorite is the one I visiting with at the moment.


Businesses that have already surfaced to the cloud are aware of the massive efficiencies they are able to reap using web and mobile applications leveraging the latest digital hybrid technology hardware interfaces.
With the growing need for Small to Medium Enterprise Businesses (SMEs) to become more productive and versatile, there has never been a more perfect time to embrace cloud, excel in your passion and make your business SURFACE as a leader in your niche.
If you have read any of my previous articles, you probably know where I am heading to! Yes, you guessed it! I will be using SURFACE as an acronym to explain why a hybrid device and a cloud interface can push your SME business through the ladder of success?
In an era where malware, cyber-attacks and hacking is a growing concern for businesses and customers alike, is security of your enterprise data on top of your priority list?
Loss of data or breach of confidential information could cost businesses to even go bankrupt.
If you think data security is an issue for only larger enterprises to worry about, think again! Given the fact that very few small businesses realise the risk of data breach and thus are woefully unprepared, SMEs are quickly becoming the favourite target of digital attackers.
Nonetheless, it's important to note that not all cloud based platforms are secure. To protect your vital business data and keep customer trust in your service intact, make sure you are dealing with a secure cloud hosting service providers and using secure solutions provided by reputable organisations such as Microsoft and others, which are continuously improving their platforms to secure your data on the cloud.
Equally important is your personal hardware that you use to access your cloud data – ensure it is well protected from unauthorised access using encryption and personal finger and face recognition technologies.
That's exactly what AssistRx did! By moving to Microsoft Surface Pro, the US based firm was able to eliminate the need of two or three devices per employee, multi-task through the day and enhance security of vital business information. Refer to the case study below.
A US Case Study in Review: AssistRx standardises use of portable devices to enhance security and boost productivity.
In late 2013, AssistRx, a US based technology solutions firm decided to replace its mixed IT environment with a single solution provider for greater consistency and security.
It turned to Microsoft, making Surface Pro the only device all its mobile employees used. Additionally, by standardising the use of Microsoft software, hardware and cloud service, such as SharePointOnline, OneDrive for Business and OneNote, AssistRX was able to keep all documents within the Microsoft network and strengthen enterprise security.
"Windows 8.1, the Surface Pro 3 and Microsoft applications are a very secure combination," says John Prescott, Director of IT at AssistRx.
From home to office to cafes, businesses crave productivity at every step of the way.
However, with different devices offering different functionality and no single one offering it all, employees are often stuck due to the constraint of time, space and so many devices (desktop, tablet and smartphone) to deal with at the same time.
However, with a hybrid device that combines the functionality of a laptop and a tablet, businesses can enjoy the best of both worlds.
A meticulous blend offering convenience of a tablet and productivity of a laptop, the future undoubtedly belongs to highly functional hybrid devices that connects seamlessly via a secure cloud based network.
For the same reason, I have now switched to Microsoft Surface Pro as you can see from the pictures below and loving it!
Refer to the case study below on how students and teachers at East Berkshire College were able to improve engagement and facilitate better learning by adopting Microsoft Surface Pro as part of their technology overhaul.
A US Case Study in Review – East Berkshire College deploys new hardware technology for better learning experience!
With the aim to improve on quality technology resources East Berkshire College wanted to give its teachers and students flexibility and versatility to work effectively outside the classroom. The college decided to deploy Surface Pro!
By combining portability and compactness of a tablet and functionality of a laptop, Surface Pro seamlessly integrated into their existing routines.
Additionally, by incorporating Microsoft OneDrive as part of the Surface deployment, East Berkshire was able to make accessibility to resources available to all, anywhere, anytime!
The tools you use to interact with your customers and partners are just as important as how you deal with them.
An uninformed customer service representative, delay in taking corrective action and problem connecting with your office, could all mean literally pushing your customers and other stakeholders to your competitors.
Effective and efficient communication are the keys to a positive customer experience.
The cloud ensures your employees are not only always available but also able to access on-demand customer and supplier data to timely respond to queries and service requests. Hence, better collaboration on the cloud with your employees, customers, partners and suppliers means better relationships.
Microsoft's recent purchase of LinkedIn is an example of how leading brands are valuing the importance of Social Selling in a collaborative manner to strengthen the relationship(s)!
Another case study example below is from WashClub, a high-tech cleaner that was able to secure customer information, remotely access files and increase customer experience via Microsoft Surface Pro using Windows 10.
A US Case Study in Review: High-tech cleaner simplifies customer experience with Surface Pro and Windows 10!
WashClub, a US based high-tech garment clear understood the role technology plays in keeping customers happy.
To make its business more efficient and deliver better customer experience, WashClub adopted Microsoft Surface Pro with Windows 10.
For many years, WashClub had been using DocuSign service to digitise employee and customer forms and signatures. With the pen experience of Surface Pro and Windows 10, DocuSign became a more natural way to speed transactions and boosting customer confidence.
The increased efficiency with Surface Pro allowed Wash Club customers to focus more on clients during business hours and beyond!
Being on the cloud allows businesses to become more flexible in terms of accessing data from any place, any time.
The best gets even better as you manage work related queries and respond to business related social media conversations using a single platform to handle real time data.
That's not all! You can switch from work mode to personal mode in no time. A great example of this could be my Microsoft Surface that uses Windows 10 offering interface consistency and allowing me to utilise the virtual desktop functionality to swap between an office work desktop to a private one as when I require.
Thus, the level of agility a hybrid device like the Surface laptop integrated with cloud services can help companies gain a real advantage over competitors, while allowing employees the work and private life balance!
Again refer to a case study below on how a fleet management company was able to increase sales productivity and improved story-telling with the flexibility offered by Microsoft Surface Pro.
A US Case Study In Review: Fleet Management Company increases salesforce effectiveness with technologically advanced hardware!
Enterprise Fleet Management wanted to step-up its technology with portable, powerful devices for its employees. It choose to deploy a device that would fit into its existing Windows landscape.The natural answer was Microsoft Surface Pro!
This sleek portable device allowed its salespeople to deliver high impact presentations using touch screen and an amazing reading interface!
"They can hand the Surface to a customer and let him or her get a close-up look at our offering", says Tom Chelew Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing. "Or they can use MiraCase to connect to projector if there are multiple people in the room".
Time is money! Yet, in today's fast paced world, its often a resource that business people are running low on.
There has never been a more pressing need for a solution that could make working, collaborating, brainstorming, accessing information, fuelling new ideas and implementation faster.
Consumers, particularly the millennials demand information fast. As a result, more and more innovative and disruptive solutions, like Uber and AirBnB have emerged that seek to simplify the lives of consumers with all the information just a tap away.
Similarly,a cloud based platform run on a compatible technology infrastructure attempts to accelerate business activities and makes accessing information a breeze. Software solutions like Microsoft OneDrive and Microsoft OneNote, brings all business activities and information on any device you want making our daily work activities a lot simpler and faster.
Read through the Case Study below to understand how swapping old devices with Microsoft Surface Pro, Wakefield Canada, a motor oil distributer was able to boost their salesforce effectiveness and efficiency in the field by multiple folds.
A Canadian Case Study in Review: Motor Oil Distributor choose one tablet to serve its salesforce diverse needs!
Wakefield Canada, a leading motor oil distributor was in search of a more interactive way to tell brand stories to their potential clients.To better mobilise its Salesforce, Wakefield replaced the heavy laptops with lightweight tablets that would help them perform all activities with ease. Wakefield decided to give Microsoft Surface Pro a go and was amazed with the results.
For any SME that relies on connectivity to run their business, losing a single work hour to bad internet could mean delay in customer service, halt in daily activities and a possible bad word of mouth from frustrated customers.
A good internet connection is a must in order to create a culture of openness and innovation. Being connected means that your business can take your customers on board with real time video streaming, help them choose products from your website, timely respond to customer feedback, circulate time sensitive information and share ideas internally or externally.
But a business does not just need to connect with its customers. The success of today's SMBs lies in their ability to connect with all stakeholders through multiple channels and across a range of devices.
While cloud software platforms, hosting and flexible hardware like the Microsoft Surface has emerged, sadly some remote suburbs and regional areas in Australia still suffer from internet access.
I sincerely hope that Australian Federal and State Governments and Telecommunication authorities address these soon for all Australian SMBs move forward and be competitive with the rest of the world!
Learn how this Australian based organisation Sapphire Group experienced a productivity boost with new computers and cloud services resulting in decreased costs and time savings.
An Australian Case Study in Review: Fragrance manufacturer adopts new technology to gain competitive edge!
Sapphire Group, a leading manufacturer of fragrance products across Australia was struggling with its inconsistent IT structure and patchy connectivity in remote locations.
It needed a solution that would allow faster remote access to company systems, save time and boost productivity.
Moving to Microsoft software, hardware and cloud services allowed remote employees to skip the arduous login process with connectivity that was 10 times faster than it was before.
"The ability of employees to stay in touch with one another and with suppliers through email and instant messages even when out of the office has been a really great improvement for us," says Paul Hoad, Chief Financial Officer at Sapphire Group.
As businesses increasingly rely on their customer experience management system (CXMs) the importance of timely engaging with your audience cannot be over-emphasised.
Siloed marketing, sales and service interactions results in frustrating customer experience and unfulfilled expectations from each department.
However, a cloud based CXM system brings all business departments on the same page increasing customer engagement in terms of reach, acquisition, retention and loyalty. Note: This is my next article subject, which will be released in the next few weeks.
Furthermore, as more disruptive cloud based solutions such as Uber, AirBnB, NetFlix and others become a norm for other industries, timely engagement with the right information and context about our business contacts is vital for business success!
The case study below demonstrates how a US based company Westgate Resorts was able to make their sales process far more effective and enrich their customer experience by replacing their paper-based marketing efforts with a Windows based digital solution.
A US Case Study In Review: Resort company improves customer engagement with innovative digital solutions!
Westgate Resorts that sells vacation membership contacts wanted to replace its paper-heavy mortgage closing process with an innovative digital solution.
It turned to a Windows based application running on Microsoft Surface tablet.
Instead of its usual leather-bound portfolio full of printed marketing collateral, Westgate was now able to hand the buyers their tablet preloaded with a custom app featuring their services.
Users would use the tablet to manage their resort ownership, browse the catalogue and learn more about the services. The company also used Microsoft cloud platform, Azure, to push notifications about special events and packages on buyer's tablets.
That's not all, Westgate was also able to capture user's interaction patterns with the app and analyse data for marketing.
As noted earlier, despite some short coming in moving to cloud based technologies, the hybrid devices and cloud platforms are the future of Small to Medium Businesses that seek to boost productivity and take their businesses to the next level! SMBs that resist making a switch towards these technologies may find themselves lagging behind or the competition may edge them out of the business altogether!
I have been able to launch my SMB to the next level with upgraded Security, better Usability, value-added Relationships, enhanced Flexibility, insightful Activities, uninterrupted Connectivity and meaningful Engagement, using Microsoft Surface hardware and software and also relying on leading cloud hosting providers and internet service provider companies!

When driving in the U.S., it´s a good idea to have an international river´s license if you don´t have a state license. Each of the fifty states has its own traffic laws。 Get information when you cross the border into a state at a tourist information center.
There is a national speed limit of 55 miles per hour. Americans are generally polite about letting cars enter busy streets. They usually stopfor people who are walking to let them cross the street. In many states you may turn right after stopping at a corner, even if there is a red light. On some roads there may be a minimum speed.
If you rent a car, ask the company what to do in case your car breaksdown. Some companies will ask you to call a special number. Others will want you to have the ´car repaired. They will partly deduct the cost of the repair from your bill.

There are robots all around us, Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains。 And some do a simple job.
When an automatic washing machine is switched on,water pours in. Themachine waits until the water is hot before washing the clothes. It does this by"feedback."Information about What is happening is"feedback"into the robot to te11 it what to do next.
Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us whatis going on around us. So robots are like people in two ways,They work and they have feedback.
There are robots all around, making our lives easier. Some of them,like the pocket calculator, can work much more quick1y than human beingscan. And they rarely make mistakes.
In some ways robots are better than people. They work quick1y, but do not make mistakes, They do not get bored doing the same job over andover again。 And they never get tired.
Robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brains must be shown how the job is done. A person moves the robot´s"arm" and"hand"through each part of the job. The robot´s brain remembers each move。 When the robot is put to work on its own, its brain controls the rods, wheels and motors which move its arm.
When the robot is needed for a new job, its electronic memory is"wiped clean."Then it is taught how to do its new task.
If the robot´s hand stops working, or if something gets in the way, it cannot do the next part of the job.So it stops and signals for help,Then a human engineer repairs it.
The most"intelligent"robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their metal fingers can feel shapes and even find out how hot and cold objects are. These robots have computer brains,linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions.

In this episode we discuss whether the Church should aim to be attractive to modernity by aligning it's liturgy and evangelization with "the spirit of the age" or whether we should focus instead on offering beauty, goodness, and truth. We bemoan the past few decades of unfortunate church architecture and music (we may or may not bring up a few of our least favorite "hymns" and ugliest church sightings) but we focus on the transcendent, even unfamiliar nature of our Catholic faith and how we can really bring that to the forefront of our liturgy and evangelization. We cover a lot of ground and have a great time tossing around some weighty ideas so grab a cup of coffee and join us!

It is not easy to resolve every problem that appears on your daredevil mountain bike ride. Most of the time is just nature and 'stuff' never stops happening! While on a trail, much can happen to you owing to poorly maintained bike. The same is why these hacks will help your riding forever!
So take a look at the following tips to do your trailside repairs efficiently and like a pro. You can even use a foliage for a handlebar in desperate conditions, with these smart ways. With a realistic cure for every biking ailment that you suffer, these tips should be carried out with attention and alert.
1. How Well Do You Pump?
Suppose your tire is off and you even repaired it with a brand new tube. Now, you're exhausted by pumping the same to ride to safety, but nothing is actually happening. The truth, there are no patches that can re-align this mistake.
In short, get a new tube or start walking!
If you pump inadequately, that is, by keeping the wheel on your thighs and pump for hours! This puts undue stress on the valves and can be an utter failure.
If you keep a block of wood or stone under the pumping area o your bike tear, you make a strong base that provides a thrust against gravity.
The ideal way is to extend the cords of your pump, loosen the tension on the valve system and pump easily.
2. Have You Booted Your Sidewalls?
A puncture is serious I the cut is more than quarter an inch. This requires a new tube or boot. Provided you fix the tube sans covering your damaged sidewalls. Sooner than later, the tube will bulge out like a hump and bang open when in the wild!
The best you can do is use the wrapper to give your tires a boot!
3. Are You a Biker Geek With Perfect Biking Paraphernalia?
Regardless of how easy anyone thinks maintaining a bike is, nothing can beat the outburst of a broken chain while uphill your favorite peak. Nevertheless, this happens only when you shift wrong and a flat tire is the foremost of things that any biker can do if he or she has the right tools at hand.
Multi-tools are multi-faceted and can indeed fix many things and commotion on your bike, at once. Furthermore, if you purchase multi-tools that comes adjacent with chain tools, it will be highly beneficial. Another geeky biking gadget to carry on you is master-link!
4. Need a Cleat Bolt?
It is not unusual to lose a cleat bolt or two at the end of an extremely adventurous trail hike. However, by the end of the ride, missing cleat bolts can make the pedaling slippery. Rest assured and use the 'back up bolts'. Use the rotor bolt to displace the same.
In fact, rotor bolts are for bikers with high adrenaline and also they are difficult to fit within the slot of the cleat. The best way is to salvage a rotor bolt from the front wheel and clip it without charring the interference.
If you're Mountain Biking Pro, you must've packed the derailleur hanger. If you have misplaced or displaced it as well as the one on the rear, the best alternative is to pedal elementary, all the way home!
If not, the repair is uber-safe as well a plain sail if you're a hardtail rider. To brief it, the best way to do it demands extended steps for efficiency of work, which is an under a full suspension.
Eliminate the remnants in the rear derailleur by unscrewing the bolts. In addition, take the derailleur and circle it on the seat stay to keep it de-tangled.
The next step is to remove the pin with your multipurpose chain tool or open the quick link.
Then, you must try to match a gear combo that is simultaneously rectilinear with the chain line. To do this, you can utilize the mid-chainring on the lone chain ring on the 1x drive train. Record the combo and splice the chains accordingly.
Regardless of your suspension, most designs are made with a negligible aft axle rates owing to the fact that wheel is that which moves throughout active transport. In fact, besides the tension in the bike's chain when repairing, it can also drastically loosen or tighten post the compression of the suspension in the rear. You must lock the suspension to resolve the aforementioned.
Another exclusive way to do it is with a shock pump. All that you need to do is inflate the suspension in the rear until it won't compress anymore while in an open mode. You must take care to maintaining the shock and air pressure simultaneously according to the labeling. This is because higher air pressure means that the locks will shrink the suspension, which can damage the chain tension furthermore!
It is not easy for a mountain biker to avoid the problems of mountain biking, which varies with every trip. In fact, the aforementioned tips are the best advice from veterans on what to do when in trouble with your wheels.
Make sure to carry your necessary tools and drive your bike appropriately to maintain your bike without problems.

Mr Hamilton, 71, said he had toasted using brandy he bought for Tobin's death
Tobin is serving several life sentences for a slew of murders of young schoolgirls
By Chay Quinn For MailOnline
The father of murdered schoolgirl Vicky Hamilton has raised a glass to toast the stroke that her killer Peter Tobin suffered in prison.
Michael Hamilton, 71, said that he had kept the brandy around for the killer's death but decided to break into it early to celebrate his stroke – which he suffered around 7.30pm on Thursday.
Tobin murdered 15-year-old Vicky in 1991 and is being treated in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after collapsing in HMP Edinburgh.
Mr Hamilton told the Sun that he hoped his daughter's killer was 'suffering like hell' and said he would like to go to the hospital to 'cheer him on' in his failing health.
Mr Hamilton told the Sun that he hoped his daughter's killer was 'suffering like hell'
Peter Tobin (pictured in 2012), 74, was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh after becoming unwell. It is not the first time he has been to hospital in recent years
Mr Hamilton, from Falkirk, said: 'We have been waiting on news like this for a long, long time.
'I couldn't ask for anything better. I hope he's suffering, to be honest.
'It's the type of news that deserves a glass of brandy. I'll have a glass tonight. I have a bottle that I have been keeping for when he goes.
'As far as I'm concerned, he needs to suffer before he does go because I've been suffering for a long time.'
'I'd like to go and visit him in hospital and cheer him on.
Tobin is is serving a life sentence for raping and murdering Polish student Angelika Kluk (pictured left), 23, and another life term for the murder of 15-year-old schoolgirl Vicky Hamilton (right), from Redding, near Falkirk, in 1991
'I'd walk into his room and say, 'Are you not dying yet, you ****? I'm here to cheer you on, Peter — and I hope you're suffering like hell'.'
Serial killer Tobin was taken to hospital from the prison where he is serving life for the murders of three young women yesterday.
Tobin is also serving life terms for the raping and murdering Polish student Angelika Kluk, 23, and hiding her body under the floor of a Glasgow church, and the murder of 18-year-old Dinah McNicol.
Tobin is also known for feigning illnesses, according to the Sun, and is supposedly suffering from serious cancer.
The killer has been behind bars since 2008.
The Scottish Prison Service said it does not comment on individual inmates.
Angelika, Dinah and Vicky: The tragic victims of Peter Tobin
Tobin (above) was handed life terms for all three murders in separate trials
Until the body of Polish student Angelika Kluk was found in 2006, under the floorboards of a Glasgow church where Tobin worked as a handyman, his most serious offence was believed to have been the 1994 rape of two young girls, for which he received a 14-year jail term.
After his arrest for Angelika's murder, police began probing Tobin's earlier life and found the bodies of Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol in a shallow grave in his former home in Margate, Kent.
Hitch-hiker Dinah had just finished her A-levels in 1991 and was hitching with a man she had befriended at a music festival.
Thrice-married Tobin, a father of two, had been visiting his son in Portsmouth and picked them up.
He dropped the man off near the M25 and no one saw Dinah again.
Tobin's looks and car matched the description provided by Miss McNicol's friend of the man who had given them a lift.
Her body was found bound and gagged a few feet from another teenage victim, Vicky Hamilton, who had been snatched in Bathgate, Lothian, as she headed home, also in 1991.
Vicky's body had been cut in half – probably to make it easier to transport from Scotland. Both bodies were wrapped in rubbish sacks which had Tobin's fingerprints.
The remains of Miss Hamilton and Miss McNicol were found to contain traces of an anti-depressant that can cause drowsiness and dizziness.
He was handed life terms for all three murders in separate trials.
Police set up Operation Anagram in 2006 to see if they could connect Tobin with hundreds of other unsolved crimes, though the investigations were wound down in 2011.

Tokyo Paralympics 2020: Kiwi shot putter Lisa Adams joins sister Valerie as shot put gold medalist
28 Aug, 2021 11:50 AM 4 minutes to read
Adams took up shot put only three years ago and has since won the world championship and now the Paralympic gold medal. She has also set a new Paralympic and world record. Video / TVNZ
Kris Shannon
Lisa Adams has laid claim to being New Zealand's most dominant Paralympian in Tokyo - and, just as impressively, perhaps even the most dominant athlete in her own family.
Adams tonight completed a remarkable three-year rise from rookie to Paralympic champion, crushing her competition in the women's F37 shot put final.
With coach and elder sister Dame Valerie Adams offering advice and applause from the stands, Lisa Adams claimed gold by a whopping 1.43 metres at the Olympic Stadium.
The 30-year-old's first attempt of 14.36m broke the Paralympic record - and, like each of her five throws to come, would have been good enough for gold.
Adams couldn't quite approach her own world record of 15.50m but her fifth and sixth efforts of 15.12m were more than enough to complete a commanding victory.

The Kiwi burst into tears when the result was confirmed and, after shooing away the television cameras, raced across the athletics track to receive a big hug from her big sister.
The triumph took the Adams sisters' gold-medal tally to three and came four weeks after Valerie won Olympic bronze at the same venue.
It was also no less than Adamns would have expected. She came into the competition with a personal best almost two metres better than her nearest rival, China's Mi Na, who won silver with a season-best throw of 13.69m.
But Adams - who was diagnosed with left hemiplegia, a form of cerebral palsy, at an early age - could hardly have imagined what was to come when she took up the sport.
Big sister to NBA star Steven, Adams had represented Waikato in able-bodied rugby and played physical disability rugby league with the New Zealand men's nines team in 2018.

It was then she was scouted by coach Raylene Bates, who quickly discovered that Adams had shot put excellence running through her genes.
In 2019, she surpassed the world-record distance at the national championships and then, with her first throw in international competition, broke that record with a throw of 14.70m at the world championships.
Adams twice improved on that mark to claim gold in Dubai and has since proven untouchable, setting the world record of 15.50m in Hastings last September.
All that was left was for Adams to win Paralympic gold, and after her first heave from the circle tonight, that was never in doubt.

Compatriot Caitlin Dore, meanwhile, finished eighth in the final with a best effort of 9.03m.
Later in the night, Danielle Aitchison cruised into the final of the T36 200m event. Aitchison won her heat in a time of 30.12 seconds, just over a second slower than her personal best as she looked to ease off slightly in the final metres.
World record holder Yiting Shi dominated the second heat in a time of 29.37 and will take favouritsm into tomorrow's final, but Aitchison qualified second-fastest and is a good shout for a medal.
The final is at 3.10pm on Sunday.
Wheel Blacks' winless finish

The Wheel Blacks have finished their Paralympic Games campaign in eighth place, falling to a slim defeat at the hands of Denmark.
In a match that was closely contested throughout, the Danish side were able to maintain a small lead once they found the front, eventually winning 56-53.
The two sides played out a stalemate in the opening quarter of the game, ending the period at 13-13. Denmark got the better of the second period to take a four-point lead into the halftime break, before extending that gap by another point in the third.
The New Zealand side tried to fight back in the final period and were able to close the gap, however their Danish counterparts were good enough to hold them off and close out the win, leaving the Wheel Blacks winless in their four games at the event.
Denmark were buoyed by a strong performance by Sebastian Frederiksen who scored 26 of the team's 56 tries, with Barney Koneferenisi scoring 37 of the New Zealanders' 53 tries.
The match closes out the campaign for the Wheel Blacks, who were making their first appearance at the event since 2008 where they finished fifth of the eight teams.

"Hoco" goes "Loco": The Preparation for Homecoming
Mummy and Egyptian tapestry in the Cairo hallway, decorated by freshman class.

Grace Lowell, Staff Writer
Rumors about a potential theme for this year's homecoming dance circulated for the first weeks of school.
Some students were under the impression the theme would have an aquatic or fairy-tale theme. They were in for a surprise when this year's theme was announced.
This year's theme, "Under the City Lights," brings to life some of the world's major cities.
"We've had the theme pretty much picked out since finals week of last year," said sophomore student council president Ambuja Sharma.
When asked about the significance of the cities chosen, senior student council president Ashley Lombres explained that the student council wanted to include cities from every continent.
With this in mind, they chose Cairo, Egypt for the ninth grade hallway; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the 10th grade hallway; Tokyo, Japan for the 11th grade hallway and Los Angeles, California for the 12th grade hallway.
Members of the student council and student volunteers worked to decorate the hallways the weekend before homecoming.
With all of the excitement about the hallways, students have begun to anticipate the actual dance.
"The theme will definitely be more consistent than last year," said Lombres.
Last year's homecoming was themed around different types of games and delivered a mix of classic arcade games, carnival booths and some very differing opinions.
This year's dance holds some huge expectations. Lombres said the student council has obtained three photo booths to use during the dance, a first for the school's homecoming.
"Students should expect to have fun and enjoy their night. I'm excited to see everyone on the 28th," said Sharma.
The homecoming dance will be held on Saturday. Students can purchase tickets online at www.cambridgehs.org.

Jason Derulo thinks its "beautiful" to share his wealth
The 31-year-old singer marked his song 'Savage Love' reaching number one by splashing out more than $100,000 on drinks at Los Angeles nightspot Catch last month and he admitted such gestures make him far happier than spending money on himself
He explained to Hits Radio presenter Fleur East: "In life there are certain things that you do, that either make you happy or that make other people around you happy.
"And I think happiness is a very important part of life. I don't have a million cars, and there's a bunch of cars on my driveway that I don't drive, but if I could create happiness for myself and people around me, I think that's really important.
"I was celebrating a number one song right, and I was at a restaurant and it's COVID time. It's a very expensive restaurant. If I can take a second and dig deep in my pocket and have a night for the entire restaurant, I think that's a beautiful thing."
However, Jason admitted he probably footed the bill for some guests who "didn't really care" about his success.
He added: "It was just a night that we could all share and celebrate together, I mean I probably paid for some people that didn't really care at all!"
The 'Talk Dirty' hitmaker has enjoyed being in lockdown because it has given him more chance to sleep.
He said: "Spending so much time at home has allowed me to be grounded and have a sense of my own space which I didn't have for a lot of years, doing so much travelling it's just hard to get your bearings anywhere…Nobody told me that this is what it's like to be in the crib, waking up in your own bed I'm like yo, this is crazy!...I also have more time to sleep, I'm sleeping more so I feel like I'm sharper. It's a different me…It's been really refreshing."

Gilberto Escamilla was sentenced to 50 years for stealing what investigators believe to have amounted to $1.2 million worth of food from the Cameron County Juvenile Justice Department.
The Texas man had been scamming the tax payers for as many as nine years before being caught. It was a doctor's appointment that set off the chain of events that would finally bring him to justice.
According to the Brownsville Herald, the Cameron County Juvenile Justice Department would receive a shipment of hundreds of pounds of fajitas on a regular basis. However, fajitas were not an item that was on the facility's menu.
After going back and looking at the books, and examining past purchases, it was learned that Escamilla had stolen $1.2 million in fajitas that were paid for by the tax payers.
The theft was discovered after Escamilla took a day off of work to attend a medical appointment.
A driver from Labatt Food Service, a vendor for the juvenile center, called the kitchen to notify them that there was an 800 pound order of fajitas ready to be delivered.
The driver was told that fajitas were not an item that the facility purchased, but the driver insisted, identifying Escamilla as the individual who would usually receive the orders.
The Cameron County Juvenile Justice Department employee immediately grew suspicious and notified their superior of the matter.
The case was then referred to the District Attorney's Office Special Investigations Unit, and a search of Escamilla's home revealed a fridge with packets of fajitas inside.
At least two purchasers that bought the stolen goods were fully cooperating with investigators.
As stated previously, 53-year-old Escamilla has been sentenced to 50 years in prison.

Cole is a name which has several sources. Most commonly, it has been used in Britain as an adoption of the surname Cole, itself a conflation of several personal names.
Most prominently, Cole likely derives from the Anglo-Saxon name Cola, originally a byname taken from the Old English col "coal." In other cases (especially in places of strong Viking influence) it may be derived from the Old Norse name Koli — a short form of names which begin with the element Kol-, itself from the Norse kolr "coal".
It is therefore no coincidence that Cole rhymes with the English word coal, as the byname would have originally have been used to denote someone who was dark (haired) or swarthy. In this sense, we can compare it to the Irish Ciaran and Welsh Gethin. In some later examples of the surname, Cole may have still been used as a descriptional byname, such as in the case of John le Cole in the Feet of Fines of Essex in 1321.
In the Middle Ages, Coll(e) came into use as a diminutive for Nicholas, which may also have become conflated with Cole.
Famously, Cole is associated with the 18th century nursery rhyme Old King Cole. This is based on the legendary King of Britain who features in several Welsh genealogies as Coel Hen (Hen = "Old"") and listed in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae. Legend has it that Coel was a Celtic ruler who lived around the turn of the fourth and fifth centuries at the time of the departure of the Roman legions from Britain. His territory extended over Northern England, and he may actually have been the last of the Roman Duces Brittanniarum with his headquarters at York.
Later, in the Middle Ages, Coel Hen became associated with Colchester (from the mistaken idea that Colchester's name meant "Cole's fortress"). It was here that Cole became linked to the Roman Empire. He became the father of one of the most significant early Christian saints: Saint Helena (whose origins, even in her own lifetime, were obscure so many countries later claimed her as their own) and therefore the grandfather of Constantine the Great which gave Britain a Roman heritage.
Coel's name could be an Anglicised form of the Latin name Caelius (from Latin caelum "sky"). However, his name is also the same as the Middle Welsh and Breton word coel meaning "omen, belief" from the Proto-Celtic *kaylo- "whole, healthy; blessed with good omen."
Alternatively, it could derive from the Proto-Celtic *koslo- "hazel" from which the River Cole in the West Midlands gets its name.
There are several instances of men named Cola in the 1066 Domesday Book, distributed across England showing that it was not an uncommon Anglo-Saxon name. It even survived into the 12th century as the record for Cola filius Lanterii, c.1145 in Stenton, Kent.
The surname Cole can be found in use from the 12th century and, as with most surnames, was adopted as a given name (usually in honour of a godparent or from the mother's maiden name) from the 17th century.
Cole was a fairly common surname, ranking 119th on the 1881 census. Data from the 1881 census shows that the (though rare) Cole was most common as given name in the areas where the surname was most prevalent.
While Cole remained rare throughout the 19th century, Coleman (the anglicised form of the Irish Colmán) was in more moderate use. Cole grew in use as a given name in the late 20th century.
In the US, Cole went from #485 in 1981 to #266 in 1982 and rose swiftly from that point, reaching #72 in 1997. It remained in the top 100 until it fell to #102 in 2012. It currently ranks #110.
In England and Wales, Cole has never broken into the top 100 nationally though from 1996 to 2005 it steadily rose in use to sit within the top 150.
In 2016, Cole ranked #145 with 396 births overall in England and Wales. However, regionally, it ranked #87 in the North East, #98 in the North West and #99 in Wales.
In Scotland, Cole has enjoyed greater popularity in recent years. From 1974 to 1990, Cole had only ranked three times: one birth in 1982, 1984 and 1988. In the year 2000, Cole moved into the top 200 and rose rapidly to its peak of #43 in 2010.
In 2017, Cole ranked #54 with 109 births in Scotland.

Thanks to Jen for requesting this name.
Polly welcomed a little girl in January -- a sister for Rafferty George "Raff/Raffi" & Lara Ottilie "Lulu" -- but they are still stuck on what to name her: Alice or Marnie?
We love the classic, timeless feel of Alice, but equally love the more modern vibe of Marnie.
Totally and utterly stuck with how to move forward. She doesn't 'look' like either name more than the other, and we swing from calling her one name on one day, to the other name the next day. Friends and family are utterly confused, as are we! One thing to add is that we are currently living in Dubai but are returning to the UK this year. Naming trends here are very different to back home. It doesn't really matter, but it has made the process a little harder.
Honestly not sure how we have reached this state. Our other children were named before they were born. We love both names for being slightly unusual but not too obscure.
The main issue I have with Alice is that I think it could be a little plain, dull and ubiquitous, plus if the Royal Baby is given this name, it could surge in popularity. However, we like that it is classic and a strong, not overly girly name and could be shortened to Cece (we are not keen on Ally as a nickname). It feels like the 'safe' choice.
Marnie however, is more quirky and soft, 'of the moment'. We love the idea of her having a 'unique' name, which we feel this is. We have a bit of a problem with it ending in an 'ie' (slightly twee) and feels a bit nicknamey. Would it suit an adult as much as an adorable little baby? We have considered longer versions, Margaret, Hermione, Marina, but just like the name as it stands alone. Another worry is that sometimes it sounds close to Armani..
We know the second names are rarely used so I do feel that whichever name we go for, the other one will be sort of forgotten about and I just love them both so much we can't decide. We definitely don't want to hypenate them!
I can see your predicament: you have two beautiful names to choose from, but both have different qualities that appeal. There's sweet classic Alice against spunky chic Marnie. I could easily write a page in praise of Alice as a choice and another for Marnie -- but that won't help at all in your plight. So, instead, I'll try to focus on the qualities you have mentioned.
I terms of popularity, both Alice and Marnie are on the rise, but Alice is by far more common statistically so it feels like Marnie wins this category.
Alice was #17 in 2016 in England and Wales. It returned to the top 100 once again at #83 in 1984 and rose sharply in popularity to #18 in 1994. From that point, Alice fell gradually each year until it reached #50 in 2009. However, its fortunes reversed and Alice has been rising ever since. Chances are that a royal baby named Alice will raise its profile further, but even if there is no little Princess Alice, it is still set to rise further.
Marnie was #147 in 2016 in England and Wales. It never saw much use above the top 500 up until 2012, after which it jumped 200 places from #493 to #293 in 2013. The following year it jumped further to #202. This means that Marnie's rise has been steep, but it is easier to make large jumps in rank the lower down the scale you go. Names in the top 50 are harder to shift and rank rises are smaller, even when they rise significantly in birth count. What this means is that, though Marnie may break into the top 100, it will take a few years.
I feel I should also point out that popularity is not what it once was. Fewer and fewer children are being given a top 20 name year on year. I have been teaching for a decade and never taught an Alice (but, then, I live in an area where it is among the least common, and most of the children I've taught were born when Alice was at it's nadir).
Alice is a sweet enduring classic which has been in use since the Middle Ages with many notable and royal namesakes. Marnie, on the other hand, is a relative newcomer as a name in comparison. It began in small use in the 19th century, but didn't get wider attention until the 1960s with Winston Graham's 1961 novel Marnie which Hitchcock made into a film in 1964.
So, in terms of stature, Alice is the heavyweight here.
But just because a name was uncommon before or relatively new, doesn't make it insubstantial. Ava is a modern staple which barely had any use before the turn of the 21s century. The same can be said for Poppy and Isla.
As for Marnie being nicknamey, your own experience will help here. As a Polly, do you feel that your name is too "young" and hasn't served you well in adulthood? I'm guessing the answer is no. There are so many once-nicknames-now-used-as-full-names out there now that they've almost lost their "nickname" status. Evie, Molly and Ellie are the lawyers, doctors and teachers of the future.
Now, first of all, I should say first that I am a firm believer in every child having a name that their parents love and that they can one day love themselves, regardless of how well it fits their siblings' names. We're all individuals, and it saddens me when some younger siblings end up with a compromise name that their parents only find acceptable just because it fits in with the elder siblings.
That being said, style-wise, Marnie better fits the criteria of "being slightly unusual but not too obscure" which you loved so much about Rafferty and Lara. It also shares the quirky, upbeat and slightly preppy style.
Overall, I think Alice won one round there and Marnie two. It's a close call -- and either choice is a wonderful one -- but I think you can count my vote for Marnie.
Polly is very keen for readers' thoughts and input. Please vote in the poll below or comment with your opinions to lend a helping hand.
Roman fresco of goddess Flora from Stabiae 1st century A.D.
Flora was the name of the Roman goddess of flowers, vegetation, fertility and the spring. Her worship was established early in Rome and her temple, said to have been founded by the legendary king Titus Tatius who co-ruled with Romulus, stood near the Circus Maximus. Her festival, called the Floralia — which was instituted in 238 BCE and celebrated from the 28th of April till the 1st of May — was one of merriment and frivolity where people wore brightly coloured clothing and included the Ludi Florae, the "Games of Flora" and comic theatre.
The name Flora derives from the Latin flos (accusative florem, genitive floris) "flower." Due to the similarity of the names, Flora later became identified with the Greek goddess Chloris (whose own name derived from khlōrós "green (buds), fresh, verdant") who was also goddess of flowers.
There are a few examples of Floria in use in the Middle Ages: it appears in the Pipe Rolls of London in 1192; the Subsidy Rolls of Kent in 1381 and the borders of Scotland in the 13th century* for example. In some cases, this may have been influenced by the 9th century Spanish martyr, Saint Floria (sometimes called Flora) but mostly seems to have been a Latinised form of the name Flory/Fluri, from the Latin flos "flower" via the Old French flur, which can also be found in small numbers.
Flora itself came into use in the 16th century, and took hold particularly in Scotland. E. G. Withycombe* attributes the early use to Scotland's alliance with France, while K.M. Sheard* points out that Flora was used particularly to render the Gaelic name Fionnuala/Fionnghal into English.
Flora MacDonald (1722-1790) —whose name in Gaelic was Fionnghal nic Dhòmhnaill— was a Scottish heroine who became famous for helping Bonnie Prince Charlie "The Young Pretender" escape from Scotland after the defeat of the Jacobites at the Battle of Culloden in 1746.
Even by the late 19th century, when Flora had moved up into the top 100 in England and Wales, it was still disproportionately used in Scotland in comparison, as we can see from data from the 1881 UK census (see image right).
Even by 1900, Flora ranked #32 in Scotland.
Flora increased in use over the course of the 19th century in England and Wales, ranking #111 in 1850, #86 in 1860, #67 in 1870, #70 in 1880, #98 in 1890 and #120 in 1900.
From it's peak in the 1870s, Flora steadily declined in use in England and Wales, levelling out from the 1950s. It is interesting to note that in the 1950s and 60s, many Floras in the Birth Index were born to parents with Greek surnames, particularly in London.
At the turn of the 21st century, Flora was remarkably consistent in use year on year in England and Wales. From 1998 to 2008 it had a birth count of between 77 to 91, and from 2009 to 2014 had a birth count between 100 to 116.
In 2015, Flora rose to #305 with 158 births and rose again in 2016 to #291 with 171 births.
It was most popular in England in the South West, where it ranked #185 in 2016, followed by the East (#216) and London (#223).
In Scotland, Flora fluctuated in use from 1974 to 2011 with anything from 2 to 18 births in any given year and never breaking into the the top 100.

Sarah is expecting her fourth child -- a boy! -- to join Charles "Charlie", Elizabeth "Libby" and Eleanor "Nora".
Sarah writes: "I'm an American and I am reaching out to a British name blogger for a very particular reason: we have given our first three children names that are traditional and quite royal. Now we're expecting the fourth and we need a traditional name that matches in style with the siblings but that doesn't sound like we're monarchy mad!
We have twins named Charles and Elizabeth. Charles was an absolute; he's named for my late father. We chose Elizabeth for his twin because it's also a name used frequently throughout my family, and because we love that it has so many nickname options. I also like the fact that there are so many positive "role models" for these names, people throughout history named Charles and Elizabeth who did notable things.
It was only after the twins were born that we realized that, of course, Elizabeth is the queen and Charles is set to be the next king. The twins are called Charlie and Libby in daily life, so mostly the "royal theme" goes unnoticed, and of course the older they get the more separate they will become, not always together like now.
Next we had a daughter and named her Eleanor. It is in fact a royal name, but few in the US would recognize that, so we feel Eleanor helps "diffuse" our sibset. The big role model for her is Eleanor Roosevelt. We call her Nora.
Henry — it's royal, but no one of the name will likely be king in our children's lifetime, and the current prince is always called Harry, which we wouldn't use. Since all of our other children go by nicknames, and since we don't like any of the usual Henry nicknames, we've considered giving him the initials HEW and calling him Hugh. Crazy? (Our last name begins with a W).
William — a William is in line to be king in our children's lifetime. William is also a very popular name (#3 in the US), but that might almost keep it from seeming so obviously royal? The only nickname we like is Will, which, with our last name, would sound awkward.
We considered George, but it's not terribly common and so feels more connected to the little prince. And then I read something while looking at name ideas that said that Prince Charles may rule as King George. Nothing would delight me more, frankly, but all the more reason to avoid George in our sibset!
We're steering away from E names since our daughters both have them. I do quite like Edward and Edmund, though.
I love the names Theodore and Oliver, but they are unusable for us. Theodore sounds too similar to Eleanor, and they're both Roosevelts. The only nickname for Oliver is Ollie, and our dog's name is Molly, too confusing. I came up with the idea of maybe calling an Oliver by the nickname Otto, but it seems too much of a stretch.
Alexander is also unusable; as is Matthew. My husband has said no to Frederick; I like it and think Freddie is cute, but dislike Fred.
Many traditional names do nothing for me: James, Thomas, Nicholas, Robert, David, Steven/Stephen, Michael, Patrick. Most of those names also sound dated to me, as do Benjamin, Jacob and Samuel.
I like Hugo, Otto and Ezra, but I feel they'd only suit our sibset as nicknames."
I think there are two ways you can work with your unintentional royal sibset: embrace it, or re-visualise it.
1) You could choose to go for another thoroughly British "royal" name to seamlessly fit your set. The advantages to this is that all the names will feel cohesive, but they won't necessarily make you seem "royalty-mad." Most of the traditional royal names are such classics (mostly by virtue of the fact that they were used by royalty) that namesakes are numerous. Charles and Elizabeth can feel just as much a Victorian Literary Powerhouse set (think Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell -- we can also add Eleanor Porter) then as names of monarchs. Then there are the likes of Charles Darwin, Elizabeth Fry, Eleanor Roosevelt. William and Henry might bring to mind Shakespeare and Fielding/James more than royalty.
2) If another royal name doesn't feel like the right one, let's look at what your set also has in common. Beyond a literary link I've already mentioned, Charles, Elizabeth and Eleanor all have a Georgian-era vibe [you could think of this as Colonial/Revolutionary-era vibe]. Another option is to choose a name which matches this period for style.
Arthur – A legendary king, and the name of a few royal princes (one -- the elder brother of king Henry VIII -- was our would-be King Arthur). Arthur has an enduring style with a quirky vibe.
Leopold – A British prince as well as the name of Belgian kings. Leopold is a grand name which leads nicely to preppy Leo.
Lionel – An Arthurian knight and medieval prince (whose name was used to personify kingship). Leo and Lenny work as nicknames.
Augustus – A princely name which was also a staple of the 18th century. Augustus is a grand Roman name, which can be shortened to August, Augie and Gus.
Owen – A name that was borne by Welsh princes for centuries. Owen isn't easily shortened, but a 'To' middle name (Owen Thomas, Owen Tobias) could lend itself to Otto.
Magnus – A stalwart name of Scandinavian royalty, Magnus is strong and stylish name (it literally means "great, mighty"). Magnus could have Max as a nickname, or the adorably homespun Gus.
Oscar – Another Scandinavian royal name with an ancient Celtic heritage, and dapper British vibe. (Plus a literary one thanks to Oscar Wilde).
Otto – A name of European kings since the Holy Roman Emperor Otto the Great (912-973) so it fits your set in many ways. Possible longer forms could be Timothy, Elliot, Otis or an O first name (Oliver could work here) combined with Thomas, Tobias, Tobin, Toby etc.
Maximilian – A palatial name with Roman grandeur and used amongst European royalty for centuries. Max makes a friendly and easy-going shortform.
Nathaniel – A gentle and classical Biblical name which still feels cool. Nathaniel was used in sibling sets alongside Charles, Elizabeth and Eleanor in the 18th century, and also has literary heritage thanks to Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Gabriel – Throughout the 17th and 18th century, Gabriel was a top 50 staple with a gentlemanly and down-to-earth style.
Miles/Myles – In the top 50 from the late 16th century to the 18th century, and still in the top 100 by the mid-19th century, Miles is an easy-going and almost unexpected medieval gem. Milo would work as a nickname.
Leonard – Another way to get to Leo or Lenny is medieval Leonard (meaning "bold as a lion") which in good use from the 17th century.
Jonas – A debonnaire 17th and 18th century choice which was still in the top 100 by the mid-19th century. Jonas feels historic yet modern at the same time, giving it the same ageless appeal of Charles, Elizabeth and Eleanor.
Dominic – Another name which has an ageless, timeless quality. Plenty of history, but also modern appeal.
Josiah – Bringing to mind the like of Josiah Wedgwood and Josiah Bartlett, Josiah was a great 18th century staple which is now enjoying a Renaissance.
Jeremiah – Also enjoying a resurgence is equally Biblical 18th century favourite Jeremiah. Jem is my favourite nickname.

US denies airstrike killed civilians in Afghanistan
A US airstrike on two vehicles carrying alleged insurgents in northeastern Afghanistan has left as many as 22 civilians dead, according to the governor of the Nuristan province. However, the US military says those who died were militants who had earlier attacked an American base with mortars.
Speaking in hospital one of the injured said: "We were travelling in a vehicle in the Want area when the bombing took place. Some people died others were injured." According to the Americans the helicopters identified the militants firing positions, tracked them down and destroyed the vehicles they were travelling in. Independent verification is proving difficult in such a remote region.
