The evidence suggests Imperial Wizard Christopher Eugene Barker, 37, of Yanceyville, North Carolina, is the violent, white racist equivalent of a late night television religious huckster, and his Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan as much akin to a motley, dysfunctional social club comprised of angry, disenfranchised Internet warriors as it is an organized group of domestic terrorists.

Locs do not happen overnight. The time it takes for your hair to lock depends on the type and texture of your hair. It can take as little as a few weeks for coarse hair, or as long as 2 years to fully lock straighter hair. Don't be scared, many loc in 4-8 months. This is the time for patience.
There are several ways you can start your locs. The method depends on your preference.
Some people are very detailed and exact in there sizes of locs, others are not.
Basically, there are two "types" of locs. There are the freeform locs which are allowed to grow as nature wants them to (like dreadlocks). And, there are cultivated or manipulated locs which are guided to loc in a certain manner. With the cultivated type of locs you part your hair into sections to work with. The sizes of your sections depend on the size you want your locs to be, however, do not make your sections smaller than the size of a pencil. Locs started off too small may eventually break off from the weight of the hair after they grow long.
This is the easiest method. Just wash and dry your hair then leave it alone. Yep, if you don't comb your hair, it will eventually lock.
You can read more about these methods under "Tools and Techniques", but you have a choice on which method to use.
SingleTwists. Use a product to twist your hair, such as pure aloe vera gel, or a lock and twist butter. After washing and towel drying, apply product down the length of your hair, and use your finger to twist/twirl your hair into a coil. Or, use a comb to twist into a coil. Or, palmroll your hair into a coil by placing the hair in the palm of your hands and rolling it in the same direction.
With single twists, you have to use care with washing your hair before it is fully locked. The twists will unravel, but they will unravel less and less with each washing. To keep them from unraveling, place a stocking cap over your locs when washing your hair. The stocking cap will keep the twists in place while you are washing your hair. Remove the stocking cap for the final rinse.
Two-Strand Twist. Follow single twist instructions except you take two portions of hair and twist them around one another.
These twist stay together during washing more than single twists.
Braids. Braid your hair, then leave it alone. Just retwist at the roots.
Braids will stay together when you wash your hair, they won't unravel if you have braided your hair to the ends.
You can even start your locs by getting Loc Extensions and just leaving them in.
When sectioning your hair into parts to loc you also have some choices. First, determine if you want your locs thin or thick. This will determine the size of the sections you make in your hair.
Remember, your hair will eventually get longer and heavier if you don't cut your locs. Keeping this in mind, you don't want your locs to be too thin so that the additional weight of longer hair may cause them to break. You may not want to make sections in your hair smaller than one-half inch per side. (Note: using the Sisterlock, or Brotherlock method allows for smaller locks because of the technique used to "lock" the hair).
What about the shape of your sections. Do you have to make "squares" in your hair to start your locs? No, you don't. You can part your hair into small triangles if you want. Squares are easier, but the choice is yours. Or, you can part your hair in the shape of the letter "C", it's up to you.
Or, you can make your partings randomly, in no particular pattern.
To form letter "C's" in your hair just part the hair in a C shape.
Whatever size, shape, or pattern you use is really whatever you desire. You don't have to be "locked" into just one way. Let your imagination and creativity start at the very beginning of your journey!
Although you want to give your hair a chance to lock by being undisturbed, you do need to wash your hair so please do not be afraid to wash your newly formed locs. How often you wash is determined by your hair and lifestyle. If you workout and sweat a lot, you may have to wash your hair more often than someone who doesn't. Wash your hair as often as you need to, but no more than once a week when the hair is not fully locked. Many people wash every other week in the first couple of months of locking. Once again, it depends on your hair, your activities, and personal preference. Once your hair is locked, you can wash as often as you want.
To help your newly formed locs stay in place while washing, place a stocking cap over your head and shampoo and rinse your hair with the stocking cap on. Take your stocking cap off for the final rinse.


This could cause some stuff to go down sooner rather than later.
Canada Union Local Unifor 2000 complained to the British Columbia Employment Standards Branch for unlawful overtime practices from Nitrogen Studios during the production of Sausage Party. Nitrogen Studios, which was recently acquired by CineSite, will have to pay $500 despite alleging a defense that tried to frame the animation production company as a high-tech company which some courts would maybe have seen as an exclusion. That didn't fly, and instead, CineSite has to make back pay for overtime hours worked on the hugely successful adult animated CG film starring Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill, and others.
A bunch of the American-based animation companies outsource their animation production to Canadian companies who use a lot of the similar aforementioned practices. With this win, the "let's throw everything to Canada" party may come to a screeching halt and could see production being sent to alternate countries who aren't as subject to unions and standards practices.

Host of Knit and Crochet Now, Deborah Norville was today's guest on the Yarn Thing podcast with Marly Bird.
If you Googled Deborah Norville, you'd read that she's an American TV Journalist, has been an anchor of Inside Edition since 1995 and previously was a known as an news anchor and correspondent. One of the earliest landmarks in her career was a live interview with Jimmy Carter in 1979. What a lot of people may be surprised to learn is her connection to the world of fiber and yarn, going back to her Grandmother Norville who made and sold chenille blankets during the depression to support her family.
It was Deborah who began today's conversation, by remembering how she first met Marly at a Craft Hobbies show, in the Premier Yarns booth (who offer Deborah's line of yarn) and was amazed to see her standing in the booth, chatting with everyone WHILE crocheting. Today, we jumped into the exciting news that Deborah is the Knit and Crochet Now's host beginning season 7, which airs in most areas next month. Others on the program this season are Robin Chachula, Ellen Gormley, Lena Skvagerson, Kristin Nicholas and Rohn Strong. Candi Jensen is the producer… these are all names well-known in the yarn industry, so we know we are going to see wonderful new project ideas, techniques and fall in love with our craft all over again.
Deborah herself loved various projects from this season, Robin Chachula created a knit or crochet Dog Sweaters, Ellen Gormley created a mosaic stitch scarf… She shared that she really wants us to know, she's not just a BIG NAME hosting this show. Deborah also tried out techniques and is intrigued with things she hasn't tried yet like tunisian crochet.
When she was about 8, her mom and grandma tried to teach her to knit but it didn't take. It doesn't seem to have stopped her though, because the next year she made her own pants! (NOT an easy project.) In Home Ec, they were supposed to crochet a potholder and Deborah made a whole afghan, for which she got an A+. Since then, she's made everyone in her family Christmas stockings and afghans… One year, she made an afghan for one of her sons, and asked him to remember, even after she was gone, the love she has for him, as if it was a hug. This compelled her other son to ask for an afghan, too!
CIRCLES is how Deborah thinks of where she came from and how she got here. That she is Third Generation in the textile business, Daddy was in the carpet business, Grandma Norville made chenille bedspreads during the depression. Deborah says her sisters are also in the carpet business…. When she began in journalism, she actually sewed a lot of her wardrobe, including a blouse that she wore in a headshot used for a long time when she did NBC News at Sunrise. Sewing kept her afloat, she says. Having her yarn line through Premier Yarns and hosting Knit and Crochet Now is a circle completed. She feels that she is a CONNECTOR to help people find more in their own lives, part of a higher purpose.
Deborah advised us to check our local PBS channel listings to find when the episodes air, but also Create TV will feature episodes on their YouTube channel. Deborah Norville has been a guest on the Yarn Thing podcast twice previously, in 2013 and in 2014. You can follow her through her website: DeborahNorville.com, she's also on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram and also has her own YouTube channel.
If you missed getting to hear this visit live, it is still available to hear as an archived episode where it aired originally at this link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/yarnthing/2016/03/29/host-of-knit-crochet-now-deborah-norville or in your favorite podcast catcher like iTunes or Stitcher Radio.
What a wonderful interview! Serenity yarn is one of my favorite yarns to use for baby and gifting items people that are not diligent about taking care of their knitwear correctly.
I loved the podcast today and was nodding my head in agreement when Deborah talked about knitting an afghan for her son and thinking of him with every stitch she made. That is exactly how I feel about knitting for the people I love. And that is serenity.
I just got through making a skull design scarf for my daughter out of the Serenity yarn. Great show as always!
Love Deborah and look forward to seeing the new K&CN shows on Create TV. I also plan to try out Serenity for a future project.
I could not agree more with Deborah!! Serenity of the Soul, is truly purpose and peace so many of us search for! Wonderful show as always Ladies.
I love Serenity yarn!! It is my favorite for knitting afghans for all the people I love.
Crocheting brings me serenity. Loved hearing Deborah on the show! Always a bright part of my day when I tune into the podcast.
I've never tried Serenity yarn, but I think I will now. Deborah is lovely. I'm looking forward to watching her shows.
It's always an interesting show when Deborah visits. I have a couple pairs of socks made with Serenity Sock Yarn.
Serenity sock yarn is a staple in my stash!
I find serenity when I watch "knit and crochet now". Look forward to seeing you on the show.
I'm not sure if knitting brings me serenity, but it certainly gets me closer!
I loved hearing Deborah's story about making hugs for her boys.
I love using Deborah's Serenity Sock yarn!
I love your shows with Deborah. The first show I heard with her some time ago had me purchasing a number of skeins of Serenity Sock yarn. It's lovely.
Thoroughly enjoyed the interview! I have a whole bag full of serenity sock yarn waiting to be knitted up into socks!
What an enjoyable podcast. I'm happy to say my local PBS station is one of the stations that jumped the gun and has already been broadcasting the new season of Knit and Crochet Now. I've really been enjoying it. Nothing gives me a sense of serenity like a crochet or knitting project and a new yarn crafting show to watch.
Really enjoyed today's podcast. We watch Deborah on Inside Edition almost every night so it was lovely to hear about her interests and life. I have used her serenity sock yarn, it is a great quality yarn. Would love to be able to watch Knit and Crochet Now on DVD, my satellite provider doesn't carry it so…PLEASE PICK ME!!! Thanks, keep up the good work girls.
I haven't used the serenity sock yarn, but it does sound lovely. I've also never seen Knit and Crochet Now, so it seems I have a lot of binge-watching and catching up to do! Great interview!
While God is the source of my serenity, I feel it expressed when I am knitting. I slow down and peace flows over me.
very inspiring podcast. The serenity that is gained from crafting was well explained by Deborah. I agree totally. Thank you Marly.
I definitely benefit from serenity when knitting. Love Deborah's enthusiasm and positive outlook.
When I think of Serenity Yarn, I think of the Seinfeld episode where George's father uses the phrase "serenity now" to relieve stress. At least we have knit and crochet for that! 🙂 I watched a few of the new episodes with Deborah online. What a wonderful host!
Great show! I both knit and crochet, and it is truly my time for serenity.
Serenity is what I experience when knitting, crocheting, or spinning. Deborah explained it perfectly. I've knit with Serenity yarns in the past and have more in my stash.
Have you ever seen those "Serenity Now!!" montages from the Seinfeld show? That used to be me. Now knitting brings me peace and I am a much better person for it.
Thanks for another great show. I loved the stories that Deborah shared with us. I really like the story of the blanket that she made for her son and that she says that it will be a hug for when she isn't around anymore. That was so touching! I can't wait to see the new season of Knit and Crochet now, it is really a great show. Knitting and Crochet is my serenity.
Thanks for another great Podcast. I will have to try some serenity yarn for my next knitting project.
I am going to have to try the serenity yarn. It sounds fabulous!!!
I enjoyed this episode! I've been able to watch a couple seasons of Knit and Crochet Now and would love to watch the new season. Serenity yarn sounds great too – I must check out their sock yarn!
I really loved this episode! I am always crocheting along as you chat and I love it! Always makes the time pass way to quickly. Serenity while crocheting or knitting or whatever craft you do is always important, otherwise as Deborah said your doing it wrong! Thank you so much for the opportunity not only to voice my opinion but to also partake in this awesome giveaway. Good luck to everyone else as well!
I get a feeling of serenity when I am knitting – so relaxing. Thanks for a great podcast.
I love the colors in your Serenity Garden yarns. They are all so beautiful. It's hard to choose a favorite. I definitely will check out the Knit and Crochet Now shows. It sounds like a lot of fun!
Yes, serenity comes when I'm crafting and thinking about the joy my giftee will have when they receive the item and the joy I gain with every stitch! Deborah's such a delightful guest! Loved the show, Marly!
Serenity is finding a few uninterrupted minutes in the day to sit, stitch, and listen to your podcast!
Unfortunately Knit and Crochet Now! doesn't air on my local PBS station, so I am interested in watching it on DVD. I was going through my stash after I listened to this episode and I realized that I had used Deborah's Serenity yarn a couple years ago to make a stuffed bear. It was soft and lovely to work with.
I'm a new listener to your podcast and have truly enjoyed what I've heard. The episode with Deborah was terrific. My PBS station starting showing Knit and Crochet this week, but it's on while I'm at work. However, my serenity was restored when Deborah mentioned we could see the program on YouTube.
Very inspirational! May God grant me the serenity to knit my socks and shawls peacefully, Courage to not harm those who try to keep me from knitting and the wisdom to know when to say when at the end of the day. Love serenity yarns.
Great interview. I enjoyed getting to know more about Deborah Norville and her life in yarn.
Looking forward trying her Serenity yarn. Knitting is definately a way to achieve serenity for me.
Loved listening to Deorah and learning how important crafting is to her. My crafting gives me serenity.
I really enjoy watch Knit and Crochet Now with Deborah and I love her yarn Serenity.
Congratulations on another great show! I love "meeting" your guests.
Like Deborah, I too knit/crochet every stitch with love and thoughts of who I'm knitting for. If it is a shawl or blanket I too always tell the person that every time they use it they are getting hugs from me!
I find such "SERENITY" when knitting/crocheting in this way.
It's amazing how many of us do this! It restores my faith in humanity for how caring we can be!

Westholme School
Day Lancashire
Set in the countryside to the west of Blackburn, Lancashire, Westholme School provides a caring environment to educate boys and girls aged 3 months to 18 years. The supportive atmosphere and strong links between the sites allow each child to develop their own strengths and achieve academic success. Facilities are excellent and include a professional theatre and all weather pitch.
Charity Commission
Westholme School has a total of 791 pupils, with 71 pupils in the Sixth Form.
Day pupil fees are from £2400 to £3760, per term.
255 Day Boys
(3 months- 18 years)

About Westholme School
Westholme fees and charges are amongst the lowest in the country and we also demonstrate excellent value for money when comparing our fees/charges with GCSE and Advanced Level examination results.
Fees and charges are reviewed annually by the Board of Governors. Any annual surplus is returned to the School to finance both improvements and bursaries so that a Westholme education remains outstanding and is as widely accessible as possible.
For more information please visit - http://www.westholmeschool.com/fees-and-charges.html
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH SCHOOL FEES
One of the Governors main objectives is to make a Westholme education financially available to as many as possible. To that end the tuition fees charged by Westholme are amongst the lowest in the country. However there are still some parents whose income prevents them considering Westholme for their children and for those situations the Governors make further provision through Governors' Bursaries.
GOVERNORS' BURSARIES
These are normally available only to pupils entering Year 7. If parents' relevant income exceeds £40,000 per annum then it is most unlikely an application will be successful. The award is based on relevant family income tempered by performance at the Entrance Examination. Normally a Governors' Bursary award will not exceed 50% of fees. All applications must be supported by a financial statement completed on a proforma available from the Finance Office and coupled with documentary evidence of income. Other normal charges such as lunches and optional extras such as coach travel and indivdual music tuition, also need to be taken into consideration. Although offered on an annual basis, the expectation is that an award will run for the whole time a pupil is at Westholme, assuming little change in financial circumstances and satisfactory progress by the pupil concerned.
Each year bursaries are reassessed and parents will be required to submit an annual declaration of income and assets. A family may be eligable for bursaries for two or more children simultaneously.
If you want to apply for a bursary, you should tick the relevant box on the School Application Form. It needs to be emphasised that an application does not automatically guarantee an award. A successful application may involve a home visit to confirm domestic and financial circumstances. If you require any further information on bursaries, please do not hesitate to contact the Fees Secretary on: feessecretary@westholmeschool.com
Westholme Scholarships are available at the Principal's discretion to award excellence and potential in a variety of areas.
Entry into the Senior School (Year 7)
Academic scholarships of up to 15% of termly fees are available for award to 11+ pupils each year following the results of the Entrance Examination, interview and reference from the relevant primary school and on other talents as identified by the Principal.
Music scholarships are available for award to 11+ pupils following a music audition. The maximum award for each scholarship is 10% of termly fees. These awards are conditional upon the continued commitment of the recipient to the musical life of the School.
Entry into the Sixth Form (Year 12)
A number of scholarships are available at Year 12 entry to recognise academic excellence, or excellence in Art & Design, Drama, Music or all round ability. The amount will be at the Principal's discretion.
High standards of conduct, assumption of responsibility and a strong work ethic will be expected from all students and the scholarship could be withdrawn if such conditions are not kept. Parents who, for financial reasons, would want to seek an award in excess of 15% should their daughter or son be awarded an academic scholarship may also apply for a bursary. Further details on scholarships are available for the Principal's Secretary:principal@westholmeschool.com
Nursery & Infant School
We welcome babies from the age of 3 months and early registration is recommended due to high demand for places. We deal with applications in the order that they are received and formal offers will be sent 3 months prior to the date of admission, should a place be available. Families are encouraged to come and look around the Nursery; to arrange a visit please call Mrs Church, Nursery Manager on 01254 686596.
From the September following their third birthday children are admitted into Westholme Pre School. Informal assessments take place early in the Summer Term preceding admission so early registration is recommended.
Children are admitted into Reception in the September following their fourth birthday. Assessments take place at the end of the Spring Term preceding admission.
For further details or information, please contact the Registrar:
E-mail: registrar@westholmeschool.com
Providing there is space in the year group, children are admitted into Junior School following a successful assessment in the term preceding admission in conjunction with a positive reference from their current school. Children are assessed in Non-verbal Reasoning, Mathematics, English, Reading and Writing. The governors levy an assessment fee of £40.
Students are admitted into Year 7 in the September after their eleventh birthday subsequent to an Entrance Examination in the January preceding admission. The assessment consists of nationally standardised verbal, non-verbal and quantitative reasoning tests completed digitally on a PC and an English essay set by the school. Each child is also interviewed by a senior member of staff and we request a reference from their current school. The assessment, interview and reference are used to decide whether a place will be offered. The deadline for applications to join Year 7 in 2017 is Friday 9th December 2016.
Students seeking entry into Senior School at any other point will sit an Entrance Examination, attend an interview and submit copies of recent school reports. For all Senior School assessments the governors levy an assessment fee of £40.
All students taking up study at Westholme Sixth Form should have a minimum of 6 GCSEs at Grade C or above, including English and Mathematics, with a minimum of a B grade in any subject being studied at A-level. Applicants will also be interviewed by the Principal and Head of Sixth Form.
Whilst we accept applications at any point preceding admission, a Scholarship Examination and Sixth Form Taster Day is held in the November preceding admission so we recommend applying before the end of October. Formal offers are sent in February so subject choices of applications made after this point may not always be able to be accommodated.
Students joining us from other schools will be invited to events throughout Year 11 to ensure that they feel fully settled and familiar with Westholme, staff and students before commencing their A-level studies.

Seema has returned to Westholme on several occasions including as a prize presenter at our annual Prizegiving awards at King George's Hall, Blackburn in 2016
Congratulations to Seema on her incredible honour.
Camilla Ainsworth comes back to Westholme
Westholme were delighted to have a visit from alumni Camilla Ainsworth, successful business woman and finalist on the BBC programme, The Apprentice with Lord Sugar this week.
Camilla, or 'Millie', as her old teachers remembered from her school days, gave a talk at lunchtime in the Learning Resource Centre to a gathering of students who are avid fans of the infamous show. Camilla regaled the audience with stories from behind the scenes and answered questions about her new product 'M+LKPLUS.
Later in the afternoon, Camilla talked to the Year 11 and Lower Sixth students in the lecture theatre.
One of our students, Saoirse O'Neill, wrote a report of the talk:
It was inspiring to listen to the success story of an 'Old Westholmian', Camilla Ainsworth, who came to talk to Year 10 and Lower Sixth and reminisced about her days at Westholme. She shared her initial business ideas for 'M+LKPLUS' and how it has been developed over a year from cardboard cartons with a shelf life of a few days, to working on biodegradable bottles with a shelf life of five months. Camilla has produced two brand new products in just 3 months and she told us how her product is unique- there is nothing like it on the market.
For many Apprentice fans out there, she also let us in to a few of the shows secrets- ever wondered what Lord Sugar is really like? Finally, she joked about her 'Jet Pop' disaster on the show. Telling us the important message not to give up when things go wrong!
Camilla also spoke about the advantage she had against other opponents, having been to Westholme her whole school life. She highlighted the excellent public speaking skills students develop here, as Westholme facilitates so many opportunities to put them into practice. Camilla spoke enthusiastically and answered all the students' burning questions; we were very grateful for her insight into both the world of business and the apprentice!
Thank you to Camilla for returning to Westholme, we wish you every success and hope you will come back again soon!
'An incredible honour' – Blackburn student reads moving poem at D-Day service
17-year-old Saoirse O'Neill, a sixth form student at Westholme School, delivered a moving rendition of the war poem 'Little Ships' at Blackburn's D-Day memorial service
A Year 12 student from Westholme School has described the moment she read a war poem at a memorial service to mark 75 years since D-Day as an 'incredible honour'.
Saoirse O'Neill, 17, was on work experience with Blackburn with Darwen Council when she was asked to read at the service on Thursday 6th June, which was held to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy.
Mayor of the Borough Councillor Jim Shorrock chose the war poem 'Little Ships', which is author unknown, for Saoirse to read at the service outside Blackburn Town Hall.
Saoirse, who was placed with the council's social integration team for her work experience, said: "It was a massive, incredible honour on such a significant day for many people, I felt a lot of pressure to do a good job."
The reading was filmed by BBC North West Tonight and used to launch their dedicated programme later that day.
"You can see in the BBC report that people have tears in their eyes, I'm amazed I was able to keep it together," said Saoirse. "When I finished the poem, a number of veterans came up and thanked me for doing it – this made it so worthwhile.
"They were all so lovely on what is a very emotional day for them – it's an incredibly sad day because they're remembering friends they lost who couldn't be there, they were the lucky ones who came home."
It wasn't just the veterans who came forward to thank Saoirse for her fitting rendition – once the report aired on BBC North West, a number of families got in touch with her online.
"I've received a few messages on Facebook from people whose families were affected by the Second World War and especially D-Day – they thanked me for the reading and that makes me quite emotional."
Jonathan Oracz, Head of Sixth Form at Westholme, said: "Saoirse articulated herself wonderfully in her poetry recital, which was the culmination of an excellent week of work experience at Blackburn with Darwen Council. She embodied the virtues and character we instil here at Westholme Sixth Form and we are all very proud of her."
Working at the council was recommended to Saoirse after her work creating the Blackburn young people's peace charter three years ago, a project which she's still heavily involved in.
Students from schools across the borough formed a working party to create a charter which covers equality, diversity, safety and support for young people.
Saoirse presented the peace charter on behalf of all schools in the borough to the council in December 2016.
Little Ships – author unknown
It was a quarter to six on that morning in June
When the little ships took to the sea.
Loaded with men of all nations
The vanguard to set the world free.
They were guarded aloft by the Air Force
And covered each side by the fleet.
Each clad man was sure of his task
In smashing the foe he would meet.
The sea was white-crested and angry
As the little craft closed into line.
But the Royal Marines who were forming the crew
Were undaunted by wave top or brine.
Save those who were sunk by gunfire or stake
And had perished for liberty.
Any now the invasion is over
And soon will be talked of no more.
Still I know that Glenarm will never forget
That day, June the 6th, forty-four.
STEM Challenge Day - Westholme School
Westholme School hosted their annual Year 5 STEM Challenge Day with visiting schools from across Lancashire. The schools entered teams of four students to compete in the subject areas of Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Product Design and Maths.
Students and staff were welcomed by Mr Hiller, Head of Science and the teams were then given the timetable for the day which was split into four tasks.
Task 1- Chemistry – The task was based on forensic science and involved identifying clues after a body has been found.
Task 2 – Biology – The six activities tested the students by asking them to identify bones, leaves and invertebrates, as well as studying photographs of organisms and cells and working the magnification or type.
Task 3 – Bridge Building – Using nothing but wooden blocks to build a bridge, the pupils had to, through trial and error, test the theory of balancing objects on the centre of their mass.
Task 4 – Product Design –this task involved designing and constructing a boat from Styrofoam, dowels, Plasticine and card. The craft had to be buoyant and stable enough to float down a channel filled with water propelled by a fan. The speed and distance travelled was measured for each school.
Maths Challenge – During the day, alongside the others tasks, the teams also had to complete a maths based crossword which was extremely challenging.
The results were calculated and then all of the teams and staff were invited back into the Theatre to find out the winners of each category; Biology, Bridge Building, Chemistry, Maths and Product Design as well as the overall winning team.
The winners of each category were:
Chemistry – Coupe Green Primary School
Biology – Broughton CE Primary School
Product Design – Blackrod Primary School
Bridge Building –Northern Primary School
Maths – Coupe Green Primary School
The overall winners were Coupe Green Primary School, with second place going to Fulwood and Cadley primary School and third place awarded to Westholme School.
Gold Quality Mark for History
Westholme's History department received some fantastic news yesterday when they were informed they had been awarded the Gold Historical Association Quality Mark. The Quality Mark (QM) is an award that recognises the excellence of history provision in a school. The QM assesses and values the history provision of the teacher, their department and the school and what is being offered to young people.
History at Westholme is definitely a popular subject and one that interests our students a great deal. The passion they have for this subject begins with our youngest students at the Infant and Junior Schools and by the time students reach Senior School, they really do enjoy expanding their knowledge of the subject.
A wide range of topics are covered and interactive lessons and Co Curricular activities help to bring the subject alive. Our recent display in the LRC of castles and shields that our Year 7 students have designed and taking part in our Concert of Remembrance to mark the centenary of the end of WWI last term are good examples of this. Trips and visits also enhance the curriculum which is diverse and always expanding; study on China and a further development of local history are new topics for our students. Other issues the students tackle have included a comparison of the Great Fire of London and Grenfell Tower. They found this subject to be interesting, despite its controversial and sensitive nature and our final report stated, "This focus area reflects on the confidence of our History department to engage in such issues to develop historical thinking among the pupils".
Mr David Stewart, Head of History, commented, 'The history department is very pleased to have attained the Quality Mark from the Historical Association. This accreditation focuses on standards in teaching and learning, the curriculum, pupil achievement and enrichment. Our vision as a department is now to further develop best practice, continue our hard work and retain our Gold Award in the future.'
Congratulations to the history department for this amazing achievement!
Westholme School Trip to Kenya 2018 with Camps International
The summer saw 60 students and 6 staff from Westholme School, Lancashire, undertake a month long expedition to Kenya with Camps International to take part in a life changing adventure that would see everyone grow and develop. The trip took the students two years to plan and fundraise for, through various events such as half marathons, open water swims, bake sales and car washes. The aim of the trip was to take part in an ethical journey with impact and this was certainly met and exceeded.
Students seized every opportunity to fully immersed themselves in every opportunity and got well and truly stuck in to the community and environmental project work. Community work included refurbishing classrooms, beach clean ups, tree nursery generation, environmental awareness projects, football pitch creation, river bank reinforcement, building toilet blocks. The buzz around the projects was tangible and students approached the tasks with determination and purpose. The work was both physically and mentally demanding and most days students would return from their projects tired and blistered but most importantly with huge smiles on their faces and lots of stories pouring from their lips and about the people they had met, the projects they were working on and the new things they had experienced.
The mountain phase of the expedition was a real highlight for most on the trip. It involved a day trek with the aim of summiting the tallest mountain in Kenya and the second tallest mountain in Africa; Mount Kenya.
At the end of the trip, the students reflected on their shared experiences and were grateful for the opportunity to take part in such a memorable journey.
Principal of Westholme School elected as Chair of the Society of Heads
Principal of Westholme School in Lancashire, Lynne Horner has been elected as Chair of the Society of Heads for the year 2018 – 2019.
Lynne Horner, Principal of Westholme School, Lancashire

The elephant in the courtroom: an analysis of the Ivory Act 2018, its path to enactment and potential impact on the illegal trade in ivory
Portsmouth Law School
On the 20th December 2019, Royal Assent was granted to the Ivory Act 2018. The legislation, introduced by Environment Secretary, Michael Gove on the 23 May 2018 was welcomed by politicians and conservation groups as "an extraordinary achievement" and "a landmark in our fight to protect wildlife and the environment". In passing through the Parliamentary process in only seven months, the Ivory Act was testament to the cross party commitment to tackling the illegal ivory trade, however, its path to enactment has not been plain sailing. Following Royal Assent, the Ivory Act was the subject of a judicial review, brought by a company set up for the purpose by a group of antiques dealers, The Friends of Antique Cultural Treasures Limited. While the Ivory Act is now considered amongst the strictest ivory trade legislation in the world, this paper considers its path to enactment, its likely impact on the trade in ivory artefacts in the U.K. and whether the Act can fulfil the British Government's aim to make it "one of the toughest bans on the planet".

The Paradox of Generosity: Giving We Receive, Grasping We Lose
A Design and a Model for Investigating the Heterogeneity of Context Effects in Public Opinion Surveys
Context effects on survey response, caused by the unobserved interaction between beliefs stored in personal memory and triggers generated by the structure of the survey instrument, are a pervasive challenge to survey research. The authors argue that randomized survey experiments on representative samples, when paired with facilitative primes, can enable researchers to model selection into variable context effects, revealing heterogeneity at the population level.
Field and Ecology
This article offers a theoretical comparison between field and ecology, as developed by Pierre Bourdieu and the Chicago School of sociology. While field theory and ecological theory share similar conceptualizations of actors, positions, and relations, and while they converge in their views on structural isomorphism, temporality, and social psychology, they are quite different on several other scores: power and inequality, endogeneity, heterogeneity, metaphorical sources, and abstraction.
Toward a Social Topography: Status as a Spatial Practice
Sociological theorists have long understood the central role of status distinctions in producing social inequality. Although empirical studies have demonstrated how status hierarchies are reproduced in a broad range of cultural domains, there remains little research into where legitimating cultural practices take place, where they do not, and the role of space itself in producing status differences. As a result, sociologists lack a clear understanding of how status hierarchies give shape to cities and how the structure of cities might be practiced hierarchically.
Markets, Nature, and Society: Embedding Economic & Environmental Sociology
Social scientists have drawn on theories of embeddedness to explain the different ways legal, political, and cultural frameworks shape markets. Often overlooked, however, is how the materiality of nature also structures markets. In this article, I suggest that neo-Polanyian scholars, and economic sociologists more generally, should better engage in a historical sociology of concept formation to problematize the human exemptionalist paradigm their work upholds and recognize the role of nature in shaping markets and society.

Clarify the butter: melt in a saucepan over a low heat to allow the milk solids to separate from the fat. Skim off any foam that comes to the surface and then pour the clear clarified butter into a container, leaving the milk solids in the pan.
Make the hollandaise sauce: peel and finely chop the shallot and the garlic. Place in a saucepan with the white wine and the herbs. Reduce over a medium heat and reduce until you have approximately 3 tbsps worth of liquid. Pass through a fine sieve to obtain the liquid.
Place the egg yolks in a bowl, add the white wine reduction and season with salt. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk vigorously until you have a fluffy sabayon. Cook until the mixture reaches the ribbon stage. Remove from the heat and whisk in the clarified butter a little at a time. Check the seasoning and add a couple of drops of lemon juice. Keep warm.
To poach the eggs: Bring the water and white wine vinegar to the boil. Reduce the heat so as the water is simmering. Break the eggs into cups and then pour into the simmering water. With a slotted spoon lift the egg so as it dos not sit at the bottom of the pan and cook for 3 minutes.
At the same time, bring a another large saucepan of salted water to the boil and then add the peeled asparagus. Blanch for 2-4 minutes until the asparagus is tender but still has a bit of crunch in the centre.
Season the asparagus with fleur de sel and serve the on a large plate with a poached egg on top. Coat the egg with the hollandaise sauce and finish the dish with a slice of crisp pancetta.

Le proteste in Polonia del 2020, avvenute nel periodo ottobre-dicembre e ripartite nel gennaio 2021, anche citate come "sciopero delle donne" (in polacco: Strajk Kobiet), sono le manifestazioni e le proteste antigovernative iniziate in Polonia il 22 ottobre 2020, in reazione a una sentenza della Corte costituzionale, composta principalmente da giudici nominati dal partito Diritto e Giustizia (in polacco: Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, PiS), che ha rafforzato la legge contro l'aborto in Polonia. La sentenza ha reso illegali quasi tutti i casi di aborto, compresi i casi in cui il feto presenti una disabilità grave e permanente, o una malattia incurabile e pericolosa per la vita.

La prima ondata di proteste di massa in opposizione alla sentenza è iniziata nel pomeriggio del 22 ottobre. Nella più grande protesta nel paese dalla fine della Repubblica popolare durante le rivoluzioni del 1989, i manifestanti hanno contestato l'interferenza della Chiesa cattolica romana in questioni pubbliche e si sono opposti all'estensione del controllo su tutti e tre i rami del governo da parte della coalizione del presidente Andrzej Duda. Il 28 gennaio, dopo l'entrata in vigore della legge, le proteste sono riprese e alcuni leader del movimento sono stati arrestati.

On a recent day out with children there was a weighing machine which, away from prying eyes and against my better judgement, I stepped on. It was one of those old-fashioned contraptions that inform you of your weight in both kilograms and pounds so there could be no doubt of its findings. I am now officially fatter than I've ever been. In a word, and not even being self-deprecating, enormous.
Hence, for three days now, I have since had breakfast at work – some simple cereal, rather than pulling in for, in amongst all the self-talk and inner chatter not to do so, a daily bacon and sausage sandwich, I'll now keep some fruit by my side to keep the cravings at bay and I'll go for a brisk walk at lunch.
The chances are, with just the slightest bit of self-restraint – don't shovel the children's meals into your face when pretending to clear up and don't put everything you eat between four slices of bread – I'll lose some weight. My back will creak a little less, my clothes won't stretch as much, I won't look quite as jowly and old, I'll have a bit more energy and I'll be quite pleased with myself.
At this time of year my other general self-loathing is my lack of any forward planning for my golf. The next three months will most likely consist of one bleak outing of 18 holes, maybe five visits to the range, some online pointers, a couple of swishes in front of the mirror to bed in my online rebuild and then hope to hit the ground running in April.
Other than that one round I won't have hit a single putt, most of my range visits will have entailed the same three clubs – 6-iron, 8-iron and some sort of kill-zone wedge – which, in my head, is some sort of Zach Johnson winter of 2006 boot camp where all he did was hit wedges to nail down every yardage and shot shape. A few months later he won The Masters having laid up on every par 5.
So, for the first time ever, I've booked a series of winter lessons in an effort to actually improve at golf. Actually that isn't strictly true as I've done nothing about this yet but, by just writing this, it will hasten me into taking some sort of action.
Once upon a time this would have simply consisted of bringing your 7-iron along, a check of your grip, a bit of clock watching from both parties before then trying to shorten your backswing.
Now I'm hoping for a three-month MOT by the end of which I'd like to own my swing, just like Hogan. Or, at the very least, not go bouncing from one random tip to the other in my scrambled head from the last 35 years when I'm cut adrift in the middle of some windswept course and in the middle of a run of blobs.
What better time to address those flippy hands and general power-shy swing?
Ten 45-minute lessons doesn't seem to be beyond the pale over the course of three months. One for some basic swing mechanics and a quick eye over the fundamentals, one for getting the most out of the driver, one on putting and one for short game which, after 10 minutes we would both agree that this is a waste of time and to continue battering your putter from anywhere where the clubhead can get behind the ball.
Which would then leave five spare to spit out all the insecurities that have been bubbling under since my last 'series' of lessons (two) back in 1992 and my hopes for the coming months.
This might seem to be asking quite a lot from my local PGA pro. When he was going through his training he might not have prepared for this type of mental onslaught, even Bob Rotella might throw himself in front of the adjacent bay when I get into full babble swing but it would make those winter lunchtimes fly by.
At the end of which I'd like to achieve the following, in no particular order: Hit more fades with my irons, feel freer in my swing and, most importantly, have a new best friend.

20th Century Fox calls off their 2 million dollar building plan for two reasons: 1) the unsettled state of the foreign markets, and 2) the current tax situation at home. This effects plans for five new sound stages.
Republic Pictures plans to start building their own studio on a 48 acre lot next to the old Mack Sennett lot which they are currently leasing.
RKO, in trouble financially since 1933, is looking to reorganize and emerge from their 77B bankruptcy by end of summer.
Paramount has over 2000 people currently employed at the studio – a high for the past 12 months. The number of the people in the back lot and in technical positions has increased 50%.
Major and minor companies are turning away from screwball comedies in favor of outdoor, big action historical and/or biographical films.
Joan Fontaine has been selected for a part in director George Stevens' big action film "Gunga Din." Her costars will be Cary Grant and Jack Oakie. Victor McLaglen will also be aboard, the Oscar winner is on loan from Fox. [Stevens had his latest film open on this date – 'Vivacious Lady' starring James Stewart and Ginger Rogers – a screwball comedy – so it seems the director is trying to get ahead of the curve for 1939].
Ginger Rogers is guaranteed a month long vacation between pictures as part of her new RKO contract. [Could screwball comedy be more tiring than dancing with Fred Astaire]?
Stan Laurel is marrying a Russian singer, Ileanna, (Vera Ivanova Shuvalova) for the fourth time since Jan 1. [This may be popping up over and over for they were battling constantly all the way through 1939].
Joan Crawford re-upped with MGM, signing a five year contract for 1.5 million dollars. She came to Hollywood in 1925, at the height of the flapper era, and could dance the Charleston. [In her interview with Ed Sullivan at this time Crawford states that her first picture was a western with Tim McCoy, entitled 'Winners of the Wilderness,' instead of 'Pretty Ladies' from 1925. I'm not sure if her memory was playing her tricks, for 'Pretty Ladies' was her first credited role, and the McCoy film was in 1927. Perhaps she remembers the western fondly because it was a co-starring role (with no other ladies sharing the spotlight). Or maybe, being from Texas, she liked playing a cowgirl].
To make westerns more realistic the William Hays office is proposing meeting with author Will James (author of Western fiction Smokey) and Harry Carey to work on a possible code.
Gene Autry goes back to work at Republic after holding out since December on salary and other contentions (radio and in person appearances – acting for other producers and for his own company). [Things look good for Westerns, if the film execs are sensing the right direction].

A Closer Look at J S Stembridge #1939TheMiracleYear
In my last post for – 1939 The Miracle Year, I mentioned J. S. Stembridge who rented out weapons for use in movies. It didn't seem on point to write more about him at that time for it would have been a huge rabbit trail. So I thought – why not give him his own post.
James Sidney Stembridge was born in Milledgeville, Georgia in 1869. The town had been the capital of Georgia until displaced by Atlanta just the year before. Though it was a great place in which to grow up, its struggle to keep financially solvent, may have been the reason James wound up in Baltimore as a clerk by the 1890s. It was from that metropolis in 1893 that he landed in his calling as a soldier, the experiences from which formed the basis for his future success in his rather unique business.
By the time of the Spanish American War he was a sergeant in the US 18th Infantry and was dispatched to the Philippines where the US Army's mission was the pacification of that new territory. He reupped in Manila in August 1898 – a "Most excellent sgt.," finishing out his term a year later at the Presidio in San Francisco.
From this first encounter with the Golden State, he felt the need to return to family on the east coast after his discharge. Both parents were gone by this time, but his eldest sister and her family in Sanford FL gladly took in the ailing veteran. He had contracted malaria in the Orient and such were his doubts about his longevity that he decided to forswear ever marrying. This notion may have been reinforced when his sister's husband Herbert Munson died in 1905 from tuberculosis and as a result she descended into madness and was incarcerated in an insane hospital. (Their two daughters, his nieces, later worked for Stembridge).
By 1906, James wound up on his own in Jacksonville FL working as a salesman for a shoe retailer. The pull of family had him back in Georgia by 1910, near Waynesboro, working as a salesman in a drugstore – most likely for his younger brother Henry, who was a pharmacist there. (Henry's son James Edward, born in 1913, would later join his uncle in his gun rental business in 1933, taking over from him upon his death in 1942).
In investigating Stembridge's move back to CA from GA, the timing has proven problematic. Most credit his connection early on to Cecil B DeMille when the director was creating 'The Squaw Man' in 1914. The story goes that DeMille was exasperated over some extras playing soldiers who acted anything but soldierly. Stembridge, being a former drill sergeant, volunteered his services – to the grateful satisfaction of the director. But the LA city directory for 1914 does not list Stembridge. Neither does the one for 1915. He does show up finally as a shoe salesman in 1916 which seems appropriate, given his work history. And he did not appear in any of the LA directories with a film industry occupation until 1920. (Stembridge did have a few acting parts in the early 1920s and for such he was listed).
Loose threads sprouted as I passed down this particular rabbit trail. Just when I thought I was set to close this post, I could not, not so long as questions dangled without answers.
What I uncovered in pursuit of those answers has given me a negative proof of sorts that Stembridge was not in California in 1914 and probably not involved with film in 1915.
In looking through DeMille films that would have utilized extras as soldiers, besides The Squaw Man of 1914, I discovered two that were made back to back in 1915 – The Unafraid and The Captive. Both are stories with the Balkan War of 1912-13 as a backdrop, and called for extras to portray Montenegrin and Turkish troops.
During the filming of the second a serious tragedy occurred. An extra was accidentally shot and killed. According to DeMille's own account, he had called for live ammunition to be fired outside a house at its door before they were to rush it. In preparation for the follow up scene DeMille had ordered blanks to be loaded instead. One rifle, sadly, did not have its live round replaced.
No mention was made of a firearms expert on set. If there had been, the fault would have rested squarely with him. DeMille carried the guilt and arranged for a pension for the victim's widow.
If Stembridge had been present it is easy to imagine that the tragedy would not have occurred. (And the converse, if it had happened despite his presence, he would no longer have been employed as such).
So, to my mind, it seems all the more likely that Stembridge was not involved in the industry until late in 1916 or in 1917. DeMille remade The Squaw Man in 1918, just four years after the first version. This may align the timing better to another statement that claimed Stembridge was called on to drill studio employees facing a call up with the US entry into the World War (April 1917).
It would seem that the circumstances in the studio at this later time were more conducive to bringing the ex-soldier on board. War movies, at least patriotic ones, were being pushed into production.
What at first was a maintenance position at the studio, blossomed into a unique relationship. By 1919 it seems Stembridge convinced DeMille and Jesse Lasky (the principals of Paramount Studios) to advance the capital to set him up as a supplier for gun rentals, both for the studio itself and to rent out to other productions at other lots. They set aside space at the studio to warehouse the weapons and in which he could repair and service them and to manufacture the crucial blank ammunition.
His stock of guns was limited at first, so part of his job was to hunt down the requisite arms as needed. In 1924, he had a particularly hard time putting together enough period correct weapons for The Devil's Cargo, an adventure set in gold rush California. It seems gun collectors, then on the rise, had snapped up the readily available supply.
A big break for his firm came in 1925 when director King Vidor came to him to solve some tricky problems with the automatic weapons needed for his film – The Big Parade – set against the background of the recent World War. Vidor's home studio (MGM) had given up on firing blanks from machine guns, declaring it impossible. The recoil was not strong enough with the lesser force from the smaller charges in the blanks to eject the shell casing and chamber the next round. Stembridge, with the help of his assistant Fritz Dickie solved the problem. Their success brought more work when Howard Hughes tapped them to supply weapons (a record 1200) for his war film – Hell's Angels (in production between April 1927 and July 1928; released in 1930).
By 1930, Stembridge had 6,000 weapons in his collection and he reported that the only gun he did not possess was a Chinese matchlock, an antique flintlock dating from the 1600s.
This decade saw the rise of the gangster film, which meant even more business for the Thompson sub machine guns in his collection. Warners came calling with its Public Enemy for 1931, and Hughes brought him back for Scarface, released in 1932. And RKO had him train his guns on King Kong.
Besides all the 1939 film titles listed in the prior post, the Miracle year also saw the re-release in September of 'All Quiet on the Western Front,' an anti-war film, based on the Erich Maria Remarque bestseller, which gave the flip side of the World War from the perspective of German soldiers in the trenches. Back in 1929, Universal had hired Stembridge and 800 of his guns to bring it to life.
Aside: I recently watched All Quiet on DVD. It is a stunning achievement of cinematic art. The art direction behind the staging of the scenes is particularly striking, giving the whole a reality that is palpable. The German machine guns [supplied by Stembridge] sweep the field from their positions in the trenches and add greatly to that authenticity. They are only details, passing minutia, but underpin the actions and emotions of the cast, as they "live" out before us their hopes and fears.
Stembridge Gun Rentals continued on through the 1940s under his nephew, James Edward "Ed" Stembridge. Their services rose in demand throughout the 1950s what with all those Westerns populating the TV networks. This slowed down as the 1960's advanced. Yet the Westerns were replaced by the rise of spy themed and sci-fi based TV shows and movies, calling for more exotic and at times fantastic weaponry, and Stembridge was at the forefront (e.g. Han Solo's blaster fashioned from a Mauser machine pistol).
"Ed"'s son Sydney R Stembridge took over in 1978, and the following year their stay at Paramount ended, (two years after my wife and I saw them on the lot, completely unaware of all this history- see old post).
They were "back" with more exotic weaponry for Schwarzenegger in the 80s and 90s. But by 1999, things wound down and the firm was dissolved, as the family members sought to cash in on the most valuable pieces in the collection. A private investor took over the firm with Syd managing and in this downsized form they have hung on.
Surprisingly in researching this post I glimpsed Stembridge Gun Rentals in the credits for early video games- listed under the sound credits:
EA's Agent Under Fire (James Bond) which I have enjoyed playing, and
Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon.

I realized something today. God and I, we're kind of on the outs lately. I'm feeling frustrated and maybe even a little bit mad at Him.
I know that can be a little taboo to admit, but it's the truth. There have been a few things that have happened lately that have left me questioning, "Why, God??"
The popular response to this is probably, "God's ways are not our ways. He has a plan for the future, a plan to prosper you. It will happen in His timing. Keep the faith."
And let me tell you, it's really hard not to roll my eyes right about now.
I know these things are true. I know God has a plan that is far greater than my own. But right now I'm feeling a little bit like I'm not getting what I need. I'm on edge.
I thought I was mad at certain people or situations. But the truth is, I'm mad at God. After all, He's in control, isn't He? If He wanted to sway minds or change circumstances He would, wouldn't He? But everything remains unchanged. For whatever reason I'm not getting what I think I should get. And I'm having a hard time reconciling that. And it's putting a strain on my relationship with Him.
I've realized that I need to vocalize my frustration to Him. I need to let Him know that I'm upset. That's what I do whenever I'm upset with my husband or a friend. I let them know. We hash it out and before we know it, it's squashed. My relationship with God is the most important one I have, soo I need to let Him know how I'm feeling. We need to hash it out. And then it needs to be squashed.
The Bible says that we can lay our burdens at the feet of Jesus. He will remove the heavy yolk we carry. I think God can handle it when we're mad at Him. He understands that we're human, that we don't see the big picture. He understands that we will sometimes waver in our faith and have doubts. He won't reject us or make us feel less than for having these thoughts and feelings. Instead He will meet us where we are. He will hold His arms open. He will comfort us.
It's time I sit with God and vocalize my frustrations, fears, doubts, and struggles. I need to allow Him to do His thing and quit running away from Him.
What about you? Is there anything you need to discuss with Him? Are you feeling frustrated? Are you maybe a little angry with Him? Go to Him. He won't turn you away or belittle you. He is your Heavenly Father and He will hear you out.
