Dominic Cummings leaves No. 10 amid claims of conflict with ‘Live’ PM
Boris Johnson’s right-hand man Dominic Cummings left Downing Street after a power struggle that rocked the Prime Minister’s administration.
Dramatic events set a deadline of December 31 for change, ahead of key Brexit talks with Brussels.
Sky presenter Sophie Ridge said: “It is unbelievable to think that the Prime Minister has lost two of his most important things in a week – at such an important moment – one step back and could have profound consequences for the future of the UK and Europe. .
“What is clear is that this marks an important moment for Boris Johnson.
“Last week’s battle saw an old guard burn to the ground – we don’t know what will emerge from the ashes.”
Meanwhile, he said there was a “screaming” confrontation between Mr Johnson and Mr Cummings over the ousting of Mr Cain, and that a “brighter” prime minister would prefer both “sooner”.
Some reports suggest Mr Cummings resigned immediately, while others suggest he and Mr Cain will be hired until mid-December.
Many Conservative backbones have urged No. 10 to use this as an opportunity to reclaim many important values within the party.
Senior Tory MP Sir Bernard Jenkin said it was time to restore “respect, integrity and trust” to the relationship, elements that were “absent in recent months.”
The Daily Telegraph reported that tensions were high within No. 10, with Mr Cummings accused the prime minister of making “explanations”.
The newspaper told Mr Cummings colleagues that Mr Johnson was “beyond doubt” and that he and Mr Cain had relied on Cabinet Office Minister Michael Cowie for clarity.
It was also suggested that a faction led by Mr Cummings and Mr Cain “outspoken against him” and his fianc மனைவிe Gary Symonds had angered the Prime Minister.
Meanwhile, Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth noted the mobilization by the Covit-19 on the NHS and the general public, while “Downing Street is paralyzed by this self-agitating spin doctors’ soap opera”.
James Slack, the prime minister’s official spokesman to replace Mr Cain in the new year, insisted Mr Johnson had not been continuously distracted from the national crisis.
“The focus of the Prime Minister and the government is to take all possible steps to get this country through the corona virus epidemic,” he said.

Entertainment Music Adele Says George Floyd Killing 'Sent Shockwaves Around the World' "I wholeheartedly stand in solidarity with the fight for freedom, liberation and justice," the singer said By Georgia Slater Georgia Slater Twitter Georgia Slater is a writer/reporter on the Parents team at PEOPLE. People Editorial Guidelines Updated on June 2, 2020 10:35 AM Share Tweet Pin Email Adele is sharing her reaction to the tragic killing of George Floyd and the ongoing protests about systemic racism and police brutality. On Monday, the singer spoke out about Floyd's death on Instagram, expressing her support for the peaceful protests and marches around the globe and how the world needs to educate themselves to move forward. "George Floyd's murder has sent shockwaves around the world, there are countless others that haven't," the 32-year old wrote. "Protests and marches are happening all over the globe simultaneously and only gaining momentum. So be righteously angered but be focused! Keep listening, keep asking and keep learning!" Adele urged her followers. The singer explained it is "important we don't get disheartened, hijacked or manipulated right now," adding that "this is about systematic racism, this is about police violence and it’s about inequality." The artist's post comes one week after the May 25 death of Floyd, 46, who died after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for several minutes despite Floyd’s cries for help. Chauvin has since been arrested for third-degree murder. Ariana Grande, Jamie Foxx, Halsey and More Celebs Who Joined in Protests Around the U.S. This Weekend Adele. And while protests in honor of Floyd's life have erupted throughout the United States, Adele noted that the movement "isn't only about America!" "Racism is alive and well everywhere," she said. "I wholeheartedly stand in solidarity with the fight for freedom, liberation and justice ♥," the Grammy-winner wrote, adding the hashtags "black lives matter," "george floyd" and "say their names."

Each year, more than two million workers leave the labor force, at least temporarily, because of an injury or illness that prevents them from working. The absence from work takes a toll on workers and their families, their employers, and the government programs they often rely on for income and other supports.
Some research suggests that if government programs could identify and assist workers early— ideally when they are still in their jobs—the employees would be more likely to stay at work or return to work after a short absence.
On this week’s episode of On the Evidence, we take a deep dive into the topic of interventions for workers who have begun to miss work because of an injury or illness and are at risk of prolonged or even permanent exit from the labor force. Specifically, we discuss the need for providing assistance early—within the first several weeks of missing work—before the employee’s absence from work has become normalized. Our guests include the following:
- Annette Bourbonniere, a research associate at the University of Rhode Island’s department of environmental and natural resource economics, who also owns a consulting business that helps companies hire, accommodate, and retain employees with disabilities.
- Jennifer Christian, the cofounder, president, and chief medical officer of the Webility Corporation, a firm focused on speeding the recuperation of ill and injured employees and supporting the continued employability of those who are aging, chronically ill, or functionally impaired. Dr. Christian is also a physician who is board certified in occupational medicine.
- Yoni Ben-Shalom, a labor economist and senior researcher at Mathematica who specializes in policies and programs related to the employment and income of people with disabilities.
Click here to listen to the full conversation. You can also read an abridged version of the conversation in the following edited Q&A.
Why are workers who leave work because of injury or illness a priority for policymakers, and what’s at stake when people develop health problems that keep them away from work?
Ben-Shalom: The most immediate effect is for individual workers and their livelihoods. They are at risk of losing their main source of income, and if they leave their jobs around age 45 or 50, they could be losing a flow of income for themselves and their families for 20 years.
From a public perspective, if the workers end up entering a federal program, such as the Social Security Disability Insurance Program, and are on the program for 20 years, that will be quite a large expense over time. They would also receive health insurance benefits from Medicare, which obviously incurs additional costs.
Bourbonniere: Besides losing the paycheck and the economic stability that comes with employment, the person that goes out on disability loses their whole social context. All their social contacts are with their employer. All their scheduling is related to work. Their whole lives become disrupted, and it is a very serious cause of depression.
Why is it important to identify people at risk of leaving work and provide interventions as early as possible?
Christian: When they develop a medical problem that interferes with their work, people may start changing their sense of who they are and what the future looks like. We want to catch them while the situation is fluid and they are still influenceable. Once people have made a decision about how they see something, they tend to collect evidence to support that point of view, and they tend to not be interested in evidence that points the other way. Once somebody has decided, “I’m too disabled to work, I’ll never work again,” we now are working uphill. If we can get to them while they’re still trying to sort out what’s possible, then we can have a better shot at making a difference.
What have researchers found with regard to programs or services that might help those workers?
Bourbonniere: In a study of Rhode Island’s mandatory short-term disability insurance program, we found that people who received partial return-to-work benefits that allow the transition back to normal employment also were more likely to return to work and had the shortest disability durations.
Christian: The Washington State workers’ compensation system uses a form called the Activity Prescription. The doctor is paid to counsel the patient about activity and complete the form, which is much more thorough than the usual note you get back from the doctor. If the employer is not sure what the Activity Prescription means, a health care service coordinator (who serves as a translator between the doctor’s office and the workplace) can ask the doctor, who is also paid for time it takes to answer questions. Having that person in the middle to clarify what the work capacity is and clarify what kind of protections the worker might need is really very helpful.
Ben-Shalom: And, according to an evaluation, Washington State’s approach improved the number of people who were employed at the end of the year by 20 percent.
What questions do you hope future research will answer about this group of workers and programs designed to help them?
Ben-Shalom: The federal government has rolled out a program called the RETAIN demonstration. RETAIN stands for Retaining Employment and Talent after Injury/Illness Network. It is a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). DOL is providing grants to states to test their own version of the Washington model, and SSA is funding an independent evaluation of each state’s program. In full disclosure, Mathematica is the contractor for the independent evaluation, and I’m on that team.
I think we’re going to learn a lot from that program about what works from a public policy perspective. There are many challenges to overcome. Even if something worked in Washington State inside its workers’ compensation system, it’s a big question if that same approach will work in another state, on another target population, in a setting outside of workers’ compensation. So there are a lot of questions we hope to answer through the RETAIN demonstration.

Look for patterns in your subject matter, no matter if they happen to be natural or artificial. Patterns add an appealing aspect to a photograph, particularly if they are repeating patterns. You can play off these patterns to get unusual angles or frame your subject relative to the background.
Keep an eye on the weather outside. Weather conditions can create many opportunities to improve or destroy a great picture. You can still get some great outdoor shots on a cloudy day. Compose your photos so that the gray sky is not actually in the frame. Don't let it stop you from taking great pictures.
Make sure the background you choose complements the subject of the photo. If you take a photo of a model against a busy background, the viewer's attention is going to be drawn to the background rather than the clothes. As a general rule, simple backgrounds with colors that contrast with those of the subject are ideal.

Sheriff Craig Webre announced the arrest of Michael Boykin (age 38) of Lockport on September 28, 2015. At around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, September 20, deputies responded to a housing unit on Bollinger Road in Lockport. They learned the man assigned to the unit was there with another man, Michael Boykin, earlier that day. Boykin asked the man to borrow $200, but the man declined. At that point, Boykin allegedly retrieved a canned food item, placed the can inside a sock, and repeatedly struck the man on the head. After the can had busted open, Boykin allegedly retrieved a fire extinguisher and began striking the man with it. At one point, the victim dropped his wallet, and Boykin picked it up and fled the scene. Several hundred dollars were reportedly inside the wallet. Deputies were unable to locate Boykin at that time, and warrants were obtained for his arrest. Then on Monday, September 28, Boykin was discovered by authorities in Calcasieu Parish, and he was taken into custody. He was transported to the Lafourche Parish Detention Center where he was booked on warrants for Armed Robbery and Aggravated Battery with a Dangerous Weapon. His bond was set at $60,000.

DC has filed a surprising new claim in the Superman case.
Source: Daniel Best
The Superman copyright case is a complex legal battle, filled with filings, counter-claims, thefts and surprises. DC didn't disappoint when it filed a new motion asking a U.S. District Court Judge to rule on whether DC holds a 50% ownership in Superman's copyright, based on a claim that it had paid Joe Shuster's heirs $600,000 over the course of several years.
The claim, which used papers from Paul Levitz's collection, is based off a 1992 agreement between DC and the Shuster heirs, in which DC paid an annual bonus to the Shuster heirs in exchange for the Shusters not attempting to reclaim the their portion of the copyright claim. Over the course of 10 years, DC claims it paid Jean Peavy, the sister of Joe Shuster, annual bonuses of between $10,000 and $25,000. In addition, DC claims that it also helped pay off Shuster's final debts and expenses.
Levitz claims that he has numerous correspondence between him and Peavy, including several in which Peavy asks for additional payments. Levitz claims that the publisher agreed to pay the additional bonuses despite "having no legal need to do so."
Should a judge rule in DC's favor, it would force the Superman copyright case into a stalemate. Marc Toberoff and the Siegel heirs would basically be forced to either work with DC to reach an agreement OR sell their 50% share to someone who could work with DC as a result. Full legal documents are provided at the source link, which also does a better job at explaining DC's latest legal maneuver.

This study aims to investigate the profile of sterols and fatty acids of four species of molluscs (rock oyster bivalve; Saccostrea cuculate, clam bivalve; Callista umbonella and cylindrical clam; Solen vagina) and one edible snail species. (Ampullaria cuprina) and determining the best mollusc species of Qeshm beach has been designed. Mollusc species (100 each) were kept in cold boxes with ice and transferred to the laboratory, and the content of fatty acids and mollusk sterols were analyzed with the help of gas chromatography. The highest amount of myristic acid (14:0), lauric acid (12:0), pentadecanoic acid (15:0), heptadecanoic acid (17:0), stearic acid (18:0) and total saturated fatty acids in snail Edible and lowest myristic acid (14:0), palmitoleic acid (16:1), pentadecanoic acid (15:0), heptadecanoic acid (17:0) and stearic acid (18:0) in rock oyster bivalves was observed. The lowest amount of cholesterol and the highest amount of 5 and 12 stigmadranol, campastonol, stigma sterol, delta 7 campestrol and delta 5 onasterol were also observed in edible snail. This study emphasized the difference in the profile of sterols and fatty acids of four selected mollusk species, and the best profile of sterols and fatty acids was observed in the edible snail, which can be suggested for the production of various health products in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

A director of Crest Energy says its tidal turbine project in Kaipara Harbour is legitimate and should go ahead despite local Maori imposing a rahui (customary ban) over the harbour in protest against the company.
The Kaipara Harbour Rahui Action Committee and local residents want to stop Crest Energy installing 200 turbines, though it was granted consent by the Environment Court in March 2011.
Crest Energy director Anthony Hopkins says the company feels wedged between the Crown and Maori, with whom it has had numerous consultation about the benefits of the venture for Northland.
He says although there is a group of people against the turbines the company has a legal right to go about its business.
Mr Hopkins says local Maori and residents know about the plan and the legal process behind it.
He hopes some sort of mutual agreement can be reached as neither iwi nor the company are happy about the current situation.

I’m from Enfield, Connecticut, but I don’t really remember anything about living there—I went to a boarding school outside of Boston. But all of my childhood memories are of Cape Cod, and I’ve spent all of my adult life here. Cape Cod really is home for me.
It was really my mother’s initial influence that brought my family here. She was an artist, a fiber artist, and she really wanted to be surrounded by the arts community. But she also loved to go clamming—she loved making homemade clam chowder. She was a brilliant cook who was really into what the Cape had to offer in a culinary sense, too.
We came to Harwich every summer—as a matter of fact, my father, who’s 94, still lives there. And I worked every summer, just like any kid on Cape Cod. In Harwich, everyone worked at Thompson’s Clam Bar. I went from there to the Wychmere Harbor Club. There probably isn’t a bar or restaurant from here to Provincetown that I didn’t work at during the summertime (laughs).
I’ve always had a love for the arts, but I don’t think opening a gallery was an intentional choice. There must be a gene in there somewhere—my grandfather was a sculptor, my mother was a fiber artist. But 40 years ago, I didn’t know that this was what I’d be doing today.
My father was a jeweler. The sales part of it interested me and came from my dad, the art part of it interested me and came from my mom. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I think that’s how I came to this profession after bumping around, doing other things for a number of years. Later on, after I spent a number of years working in Boston and the North Shore, I got married, moved back here, and had a son.
After my son Brewster was five years old, he was off to nursery school, and I was ready to start doing something outside of the house. My father-in-law had retired from his medical practice. He offered me his sun porch, which had been the waiting room, for whatever I wanted to do. It was right on Route 28 in Harwichport. And I thought, I’d like to have an art gallery. I never even thought of doing anything else.
I went around to all of my friends from art school, all people I knew, to collect paintings, and I hung them up. Back then, I was so naïve—I just called every artist whose work I liked and I said, “I’m opening a gallery.” But it was a success, and that’s what launched the Rowley Gallery. 2012 was my gallery’s 25th year on Cape Cod.
We were on that sun porch as a seasonal gallery for five years before I got a call about 15 years ago from an artist on the north side of Route 6A in Dennis, in the complex with the Cape Playhouse and Cape Cod Museum of Art, asking if I had any interest in moving there from Harwichport. I thought, Yeah, the time has come. Then it became a year-round operation.
Doug Johnson is an old friend of mine, and he runs a gallery on the other side of Emack and Bolio’s Ice Cream in Orleans. After my lease ran out in Dennis, he asked if I would be interested in coming to Orleans and taking a space in his gallery. I thought about it, and I decided that I’d like to get further down Cape. A lot of my time is spent going back and forth to Provincetown, where a lot of the artists I represent have their studios. Orleans feels closer to the source of the work.
I always have my eyes open for new artists. Having said that, I have no desire to be a mammoth gallery with 20 or 30 artists. I’ve known the 11 artists that I exhibit for such a long time. We’re all friends, and we all work well together.
Decorating, designing, and keeping the gallery as nice as it looks is my form of creativity.
Orleans has the bay as well as the ocean—Skaket Beach, which is absolutely beautiful for sunsets, on one side, and Nauset Beach on the other. If you have four-wheel drive and a permit, you can just drive on the beach, drive and drive all the way down to Chatham, all the way until you see nobody. It’s the most wonderful feeling to be out there all alone, or with your friends, in raw, raw nature.
There are so many nice galleries here. And there’s a variety of wonderful restaurants here, from the Orleans Inn to the Captain Linnell House, and you can pretty much walk between all of them. We have the Academy for Performing Arts, which has been wonderful for plays. And there’s a wonderful library here—the Snow Library is just fantastic.
The stretch between Orleans and Provincetown is truly loaded with a phenomenal amount of enormously creative people. And I don’t mean that just in terms of the artists—I mean the writers, the poets. It’s just a tremendously creative community.
When you go around the rotary, you know you’re on your way. That rotary signals a lot.

Kelly Clarkson performed ’Broken & Beautiful’ from UglyDolls live on stage to round out an (2) STX presentation at CinemaCon that included appearances by Charlie Hunnam and Henry Golding from Guy Ritchie’s newly titled crime caper The Gentlemen.
The session included news that Alicia Keys dance film Work It and Bad Moms’ Moms to star Cheryl Hines, Susan Sarandon and Christine Baranski are in development.
On-stage appearances by Diane Keaton, Dave Bautista, Chadwick Boseman, and Katie Holmes, as well as first footage from STX’s first animation UglyDolls, horror films Brahms: The Boy II, and acquisition titles The Secret Garden and The Gentlemen.
Charlie Hunnam and Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding from The Gentlemen (formerly known as Bush, and Toff Guys) turned up to discuss Ritchie’s latest crime caper. STX acquired rights from Miramax and STX chairman Adam Fogelson cued up a first look from the film, which also stars Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant, Colin Farrell and Eddie Marsden.
“It’s vintage Guy Ritchie,” said Hunnam, who starred for the British director in King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword. “I grew up on Lock Stock [And Two Smoking Barrels]. Golding described working with Ritchie as “the gift that keeps on giving.”
Diane Keaton took to the stage at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to promote cheerleaders comedy Poms and revealed the reason she never succeeded at cheerleader trials. “If I show you my legs you’ll see why,” said Keaton, remaining true to her word. “Look. The knees. They’re skinny. There’s no strength in these legs.”
Fogelson showed a sumptuous first look from family drama The Secret Garden, which STX acquired from Studiocanal and plans to open in spring 2020. The film is in post and stars Colin Firth and Julie Walters.
Dave Bautista from action comedy My Spy appeared on stage with co-star Chloe Coleman, who will next be seen in the second season of Big Little Lies. Fogelson said STX and Bautista will announce further collaborations shortly.
Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman joined Fogelson to talk up revenge thriller 21 Bridges and said he undertook the “life-changing” experience of riding along with police officers from Los Angeles and New York. “At times it was a lot of fun and at other times it was horrific what you experienced,” Boseman said. “It definitely put me in the mindset of the character.”
Katie Holmes took to the stage to talk up horror film Brahms: The Boy II and said it tapped into the universal theme of a parent’s fear for their child’s safety.
Clarkson rounded out the session with the live performance from UglyDolls after joining co-star and rapper Pitbull to talk up the film.
In his opening remarks, Fogelson said 18% of STX’s films “past and present” were directed by women, and 64% have had women in the lead role. On Friday (5) the company releases the true-life Civil Rights drama The Best Of Enemies starring Taraji P. Henson and Sam Rockwell.
Hustlers starring Jennifer Lopez has begun production in New York and is expected to be ready for the autumn. The STX pipeline includes thrillers Countdown and Horizon Line, two more films from Kevin Hart, star of STX’s recent $100m hit The Upside, and Gerard Butler disaster thriller Greenland. Awkwafina on board the crime caper Crime After Crime.

Indiana was the novel that launched the phenomenally successful career of nineteenth-century French author George Sand. In her preface, Sand explains that she wrote without any plan in mind, simply allowing her characters to lead her. Sand was hailed as a “natural” writer for this reason, but at the same time the novel was analyzed intensely at the time of publication as readers strove to establish what central meaning Sand had ensconced in her text.
Indiana is a noteworthy novel, particularly to the Anglo-American reader, in part because it presents not one but two depictions of “ruined” women who are not damned for their behavior—highly unusual in a nineteenth-century novel. At the time of its writing, this meant that the book was criticized as a potential attack on virtuous women. Especially because Sand herself did not live according to the traditional standards of her time, living with a series of lovers over the course of her life, this has also turned the book into a battleground for feminist theorists who are driven to uncover what Sand’s novel says about gender, society, and the rejection of expectations placed upon us.
Any analysis of Sand readily invites gender-based criticism for reasons that are evident. While it was not unusual for women writers to use male pen names, as George Eliot and the Brontë sisters did, Sand’s rejection of traditional femininity went far beyond her use of a masculine name for her work. Sand dressed in men’s clothing and refused to apply for the licence that was technically required for women who wished to do so. Her contemporary Victor Hugo noted, “George Sand cannot determine whether she is male or female. I entertain a high regard for all my colleagues, but it is not my place to decide whether she is my sister or my brother.” Gender being such a key question in Sand’s own life, it is perhaps natural that Indiana offers a rich foundation for discussion about gender roles and the differences between men and women, both innate and societal.
The identity of George Sand was hotly debated after the publication of Indiana, with some arguing that its focus upon female misery in a patriarchal society could only have been the product of a female pen, while others suggested that the writing was too bold and purposeful to have been that of a woman. These arguments are rather ironic in light of what Sand actually conveys in Indiana: that men come in all types and that every woman contains an element of the so-called masculine.
To the twenty-first century reader, what is remarkable about Indiana is that none of the characters is a straightforward or uncomplicated villain or hero. The titular Indiana is sympathetic, but she is also alternately headstrong and self-pitying, oblivious and wilfully blind. Because she has determined that she can never be happy with Delmare, she refuses to see the good in him. Meanwhile, Delmare, who might have been a two-dimensional tyrant in the hands of another writer, is driven more by temper than cruelty and genuinely cares for his young wife. Likewise, Raymon, while fickle and vain, is not depicted as a simplistic cad. His love for Noun and, then, Indiana is something in which he truly believes, although his actions leave much to be desired. The “insipid” Ralph is dismissed by Delmare as having no power to attract...

Jazmine Sullivan’s voice is delightfully hypnotic. So when I heard her latest song and its beat, vaguely reminiscent of a hip-hop tango, bobbing my head was inevitable. Then, I paid attention to the words:
“I bust the windows out ya car…”
Ms. Sullivan is not the first songstress to sing about destruction of property. Jill scott has a song called “Insomnia.” She’s singing about her man not calling, and not coming around – that old chestnut. She then launches into a diatribe about how her man turned her from a “woman of substance” to what adds up to a crazy ass stalker ho. She ends the song, “You reduced me from a woman of substance to this.”
Breakups are emotional times. It takes us places that we don’t want to be and brings us face to face with things we don’t really want to see. Nobody likes the rejection or feeling of failure that comes with the breakup territory. It’s hard to issue proper “protocol” for dealing with such a situation, because every person is different.
HOWEVER, what you do not do, what you must not EVER do, is lash out in violence. Breakups happen for a reason. Maybe you suck. Maybe the guy sucks. Maybe you both suck. Maybe neither of you suck, but you don’t have anything in common and no interest in compromise. But whatever the reason, if the first place you go when something doesn’t work out, is a place of destruction, humiliation or drama – then that’s not what you were driven to, that’s who you are. A petty, spiteful female, that still sees a tantrum as a viable means to get her way.
I don’t buy that “woman on the verge” shit. I’m MAD ROWDY. I don’t like being played, played with, or having my intelligence insulted. It’s not unheard of for me to be galactically pissed when a dude plays me for the herb. I may be hurt, and I will voice my hurt. I may want to know why. When all is said and done, I cut my losses and keep it moving. Truth be told, I tend to feel at odds in a girlfriend capacity. It’s really not keeping with the way of the Maverick. When it’s nice, it’s nice, and when it’s not, eh, it’s not. I don’t purport to be perfect. I’m brash, and slightly crass and cuss too much. I talk more than I should and can occasionally be something of a broke ass elitist. On top of all my other bullshit, it’ll be a hot minute before we’re fuckin, which I don’t think is in for 2008. Go figure. Despite that, I’m still a solid chick. So, I might not be a total “lady,” but I’m definitely a grown ass woman.
Oh yeah, and I don’t fuck people’s shit up, so…yeah…that’s kind of a plus.

Charity for disabled has funding slashed
A charity supporting disabled people who face discrimination and exclusion, is appalled that funding for its service has been slashed.
Disability Action, based in east Belfast, has been notified by the Planning Service that it will cease funding its ‘Access Service’ at the end of September
This specially tailored service that offers advice to disabled people finding it difficult to lead independent lives due to barriers in terms of access, also examined planning applications to ensure future public buildings continued to be accessible.
Orla McCann, Access Manager for Disability Action said: “Disability Action appreciates that the Planning Service is facing difficult times but for the Minister of the Environment, whose department has a huge annual budget to pass the impact on to direct line services for disabled people is not acceptable.
“Building Regulations require only a minimum standard of access and focus on physical and sensory disabilities .Disability Action takes a pan-disability focus and advises on access provision for all disabled people. Without our intervention, new developments will fail to meet the needs of all disabled people.”
Last year the Access Team dealt with over 1,400 enquiries and responded to over 500 planning applications.
Kym Lennon from Bangor, who had previously used the service, said: “I really enjoy painting and I love to get out and about to take photographs of wildlife, which I use to develop paintings.
“As I am a wheelchair user, it was difficult for me to get around at Castle Espie and there were no mobility scooters. Disability Action’s Access Service contacted Castle Espie to highlight the problem and they have since provided two mobility scooters. I am now able to enjoy the woodland and take photographs of the wildlife and I have Disability Action to thank for this.”
The charity feels that despite recent developments in the law, disabled people continue to experience access problems. A survey carried out by Disability Action in June, found that 81% of disabled people surveyed had experienced a problem with access and 44% said they experienced problems ‘all the time’.
Disability Action was originally told the entire budget for the service was to be cut, but recent discussions with Minister of Environment, Edwin Poots, have seen the reinstatement of 25% of the original funding.
A spokesperson from the Department of Environment said: “Planning Service has supported the Disability Action Access Unit for many years and appreciates that its work is highly valued.However much of the work carried out by the Access Unit does not relate directly to land use planning. The case for funding Disability Action has been considered carefully.
“In light of the significant resource pressures facing the Planning Service and the Department of the Environment, a reduction in the level of funding to Disability Action has been unavoidable. The Department is aware of the implications of the reduction and will keep funding under review.” Disability Action have created an petition to campaign against the planned cuts available on www.disabilityaction.org/access

NZDH Taupo BikeFest Round 4 – Jump Fest!!
Red Bull Rider: Brook MacDonald Highest and the longest Jump: Hayden Lee. Team Devinci:George Brannigan
Does it get any better??
Round 4 of the NZDH series was held in Taupo over the weekend as the opening event for Taupo’s Bike Festival.
140 competitors registered in for what turned out to be an action packed weekend of racing.
The Crank Taupo venue did not disappoint once again with the very popular forest – open farm land natural track layout.
Great spectator turnout once again at NZDH Round 4 – Taupo.
Saturday 19th November – Practice Day:
Once again, an NZDH race weekend was blessed with fine weather for practice day, mountain air chill factor not too bad for early morning set up.
The registration marquee had a contineous line of riders lining up to register for a solid 2 – 3 hours.
Quite a few of the series NZDH competitors had not ridden the new NZDH – Crank Taupo venue before, so there was a lot of anticipation amongst the riders at the first shuttle line.
The practice day went very smooth throughout, the riders were finding the open grass section of the track tricky of which resulted with a few shoulder injury crashes.
The hill jump approaching the finish arena caught a few senior riders out on hitting the approach a tad too fast, in turn, the spectators witnessing some very big air time and large crashes.
The end of the practice day came with our series sponsor “Wide Open Whip Comp” with riders being able to display their fun side of Downhill racing techniques to the crowd.
Monster Energy rider Bryn Dickinson taking out the overall spectator choice of style win with another Monster Energy team rider Louis Hamilton and Florian De Vries in 2nd and 3rd place.
Wide Open Distributors, Dean Cameron presenting product prizes
Bryn Dickinson, Louis Hamilton and Florin Devries.
Sunday 20th November – Race Day:
Morning Race day weather conditions were fine, but the wind factor was present for the most of the day.
Only one Hardtail competitor for the weekend, young 13 year old Cameron Warren from Kapati who was riding in his first ever downhill competition, a great effort from Cameron.
The women’s class consisted of 5 riders, it was a pity to see newcomer Zia Pitkethley forced out of her 1st race competition because of a fall on practice day. Great to see Kaytee Campbell looking competitive and managed to take the top podium spot again with AKDH Adrienne Hooper not too far behind, great to also see two international riders, Rosella Pellegrino and Carolin Friese from Germany competing in the NZDH series.
The Masters men class was a close affair with Liam O’Ryan taking out the weekend again with Tim Warner and Clinton Williams close behind.
The U15 class once again was highly competitive with Jack Humphries returning to the top spot and Hayden Meles very close behind, Hayden Stead gave the top two men a bit of a fright by claiming fastest time on their 1st race run. Great to see 20 riders line up for the U15 class over the weekend.
U17’s was a little light in competitors this weekend with school exams being a factor, last round’s U17 winner Nick Roydhouse is out for the rest of the NZDH rounds due to a fall in early Saturday mornings practice which resulted in a broken wrist, fix fast Nick, because Lawrence Cawte absolutely dominated this class for the weekend by a massive 8 seconds!!
The under 19 was a similar story of complete domination as Louis Hamilton put in something special over the weekend and not only won the u19 class outright, but his time was good enough to take 3rd overall in the Pro Elite class – simply outstanding!! Great to see Jake Robinson take out 2nd spot after his nasty crash two weeks ago in Napier.
Senior Mens had a good level of competition once again being the largest field of the classes with 32 riders!, Jonathan Andrews, Carl Edmondson were fighting for the top spot honours with the getting faster round by round Phil Marfell in close pursuit.
Once again, the Pro Elite class was full of action with the presence of the two International hero’s Brook McDonald and George Brannigan competing with the current series leader Matt Walker…
Matt Walker being the ex Crank Taupo event champion for two years running, was looking great all weekend, but it was Brook MacDonald’s turn to stamp authority in the class over the weekend for top spot overall with George Brannigan taking out 2nd place with Matt Walker close behind, it was also good to see Cycle Obsession’s Hayden Lee put out some very clean runs along with some big air time to click in close pursuit with the top guns of the field.
Overall, another great weekend of racing from the NZDH series and with the NZDH Taupo round being involved with the opening event of Taupo’s Bike Fest week, it was great to have the local community making an effort to come out and witness some of the best racing this series has had so far.
A big thank you to Bike Festival Taupo Manager: Steve Giles and Events Taupo Manager Nick Reader for all the help to make this event possible and we are all looking forward to being involved for 2012!
On behalf of Dave Hamilton, Dave Rose , Greg Taylor and Jamie Roberts and Tim Lawton, we would like to thank our series sponsors:
Fenwick’s, Wide Open, Kenda Tires and Hirepool Nationwide for all their help and support to make this series possible.
Next up, Dome Valley, Warkworth, Auckland on the 3rd – 4th Dec in 10 days time, the Dome Valley track has been revamped even more!
See you all there.

Glen Hutchinson—Hutch, rolled his brawny shoulders and rotated his thick, corded wrists as he gazed absently at the bright orange sun peeking above the roiling Atlantic.
Hutch enjoyed mornings here in Wilmington, North Carolina, especially when September rolled around. The seas were always tumultuous and the air often thick and damp, and surprising thunderheads would spring up seemingly out of nowhere, signaling heavy storms were on their way.
A sparkling glass wall separated Hutch from the winds and the spray of the surf and the soggy, humid air; the east-facing wall of his huge house that contained all of two bedrooms and three bathrooms, one massive training room, and a couple of needful things, such as a kitchen. That was all Hutch needed, but oh that training room!
A variety of heavy bags, focus bags, speed bags; a boxing ring; throw dummies; weights galore, treadmills, stationary bikes, rowing machine; the array of equipment was dizzying, and it was where Hutch essentially spent most of his time.
Training. Turning himself into a weapon; a fierce force of lethal destruction and his obsession was relentless.
On this fine September morning, Hutch was annoyed.
A very close, underground ‘friend’ of Hutch’s forwarded a streamed mixed-martial-arts fight to Hutch late last night with a cryptic message of, “Ya gotta see this Hutch.”
Such a message was unusual, and so Hutch opened the stream on his tablet and watched the beginning of a match between what looked to be two heavyweights. At first, Hutch was bored, even dismissive.
Two younger guys, punks really, all tatted up with stupid-looking trunks and hair poking up all over the place, and one guy had a ridiculously long beard. As if. What kind of an idiot would get into a match sporting that nonsense?
The bell rang and the two squared off, then began exchanging; first light jabs and quick snap kicks to the opponent’s legs. Nothing serious or even worthy of Hutch’s time, and Hutch vowed to lay into his friend for wasting his time with this dreck.
But then things amped up between the two combatants. The bearded guy scored cleanly with a left cross then rushed in to swing wildly at the staggered opponent.
But it looked like the guy who was staggered was sandbagging, and as the bearded guy came in whaling away, the clean-shaven warrior delivered a wicked left hook, followed with a devastating right uppercut, snapping beard-boy’s head back like it was on a rope.
Beard-boy staggered back, reeling and then the sandbagger ripped off a spinning heel-hook kick to beard-boy’s temple that was so fast that Hutch completely missed seeing it at first. One second beard-boy was reeling; an eye-blink later sandbagger’s heel was slamming into beard-boy’s temple. The crunching sound of the blow told a grim story for beard-boy. Damn!
Hutch rewound then stepped the video forward, frame-by-frame, and even there, the sandbagger’s foot was a blur.
Hutch stopped the stream and snagged his phone, an eerie gleam in his eyes.
The phone rang, incessant, demanding immediate attention; the Vincent Price laughing ringtone mocking and taunting Ben Schofield as he sat in his dumpy studio apartment with the blinds drawn on a sunny Pennsylvania morning. Ben ignored the damned phone.
The Fight replayed for the super-zillionth time in his head in slo-mo. Ben knew that he suckered his opponent in by faking a stagger, but again he chastised himself bitterly. The two punches were enough to finish the fight; the guy was out on his feet, eyes glazed, breath whistling through his open, gasping mouth. He was beaten, no doubt.
But that wasn’t good enough for Ben, no siree. He just had to follow up with that heel-hook kick, and he knew just as sure as Ben knew he’d won the fight, that he’d severely hurt the man. Hell, he felt his heel actually sink into the man’s head!
Ben was utterly shocked to discover that he’d killed the man.
His license was immediately suspended, so no more fighting, but that wasn’t the worst part of this nightmare. The worst part was that his opponent had a wife and two kids; toddlers, both boys, and Ben Schofield—in one swift and thoughtless move—wiped their daddy from the face of the living.
Depression swamped over Ben again and tears leaked silently from his burning eyes.
Vincent Price started laughing again and Ben vowed to get rid of that damned ringtone just as soon as he could get up enough energy to give a damn. He snared the phone from the coffee table in front of him and eyed the display. It read ‘Marky Mark’ and Ben thumbed ‘Decline.’
Marky Mark was his trainer and fight manager, but Ben had zero interest in talking to the smarmy asshat. The phone immediately piped to life in his hand and a nameless rage surged within Ben. He thumbed ‘Accept,’ then, “What?”
“Don’t call me that, shitball.”
“Look Ben, tough break on that fight, huh?”
“C’mon dude, crap happens!”
“Mark,” Ben paused, heaving a deep, exhausted sigh. “Mark, I killed the guy.”
Mark’s usual ebullience was subdued. “I know—”
Ben was on the verge of breaking down and Mark was the last person Ben wanted to see that. Another sigh, then, “So what the hell am I supposed to do now?”
“No worries, Ben. We can get you licensed in another state—”
“Nevada will license you.”
“No they won’t.”
“Well look, I maybe got some good news for you.”
“Do tell. The suspense is killing me.”
“Cheer up, Ben. This one’s a big payday!”
Ben paused, then, “‘One’? Another fight?”
“Listen Schofield, you take this one and you’ll be set for a few years to get up on your feet somewhere and make a life for yourself. That’s a lot more than most fighters your age.”
Ben thumbed the red icon and dropped the phone.
“Come in. You’re Ben, right?”
“Yeah, and you’re freaking gorgeous.” Ben stepped through the double doors, eyeing the tall, slender blond with the painted-on micro-dress. “I never knew a woman who dressed like you’re dressed, unless they were a pro.”
She turned and smiled at Ben, her teeth gleaming. “I’m not a pro, Ben, and I’m not sure if that’s a compliment.”
Ben looked at his feet, suddenly uncomfortable. She pushed her hand out to him. “I’m Brenda. Brenda Hutchinson.”
Ben was surprised. “Missus Hutchinson?”
She laughed. “God no. I’m his sister. I can’t imagine anyone marrying that man. Come in, I’ll show you your room. Hungry, thirsty?”
“Don’t go to any bother, please. I hadn’t planned on staying. Water is fine.”
“Nonsense. You’ll need a place to rest after your travel and to get ready. Follow me, Ben.”
Night had fallen over North Carolina, but the surf outside pounded and thundered, and jagged shards of searing light punched through the gloom. Ben could not sleep, not a wink. So he rose from his place on the floor beside the sumptuous bed, wearing sweat pants with no shoes or shirt, and stepped out into the massive training room. The owner of the place, Glen Hutchinson, still had not made his presence known.
The floor-to-ceiling glass wall facing east over the raucous ocean drew Ben to stand before it and gaze into the pitch that was punctuated by chaotic whitecaps. It was an awesome vista and Ben drank it in, thinking about how timeless and ageless is the sea, when he gradually became aware of another presence off to his right. Ben turned to see a middle-aged man, also shirtless and shoeless, staring at the ocean. A jagged split of lightning illuminated his craggy features and long, unkempt hair. He turned to face Ben and smiled. It seemed a genuine smile with warmth, and Ben liked it.
“It’s wondrous, don’t you think?”
Ben eyed him askance. “I don’t get to see stuff like this very often.”
“That’s because you’re stuck in the Appalachians. Binnacue, right?”
Ben studied the man—Glen Hutchinson. His bare torso looked as if it were chiseled from a block of iron; rippling cords of muscle stood out in relief across the man’s thick chest. His neck appeared to be an extension of his back; the jaw, set and square; receding hairline with gray at the temples. Ben guessed him to be in his mid-forties, but he could have been in his sixties just as easily. “Yeah, Binnacue, Pennsylvania.”
Ben turned to face Hutchinson. “Why don’t we cut the crap and you tell me why you dropped one-hundred large to get me here?”
“You’re a fighter—”
“Was a fighter.”
“No. It’s in your blood. You’re a fighter.”
“Yeah. So what?”
“I saw your last fight.”
Ben said nothing, glaring bullets at the man. “I saw what you did to your opponent.”
“I killed him. What about it?” he growled.
“It isn’t that you killed him, it’s how you killed him. I’ve never seen a kick move so—”
“Fuck off!” Ben turned away from the window and away from the lunatic that wanted to dredge up all the horrible memories.
Powerful fingers clutched Ben’s shoulder. “Hold on. Let me make you a proposal.”
Ben shook himself free. “What?”
“Let’s you and I fight.”
Hutch dropped silently into a cross-legged seat on the floor. “We fight. You win, you get my estate. I win and…”
“That’s it! I win.”
Ben shook his head. “You’re out of your mind.”
“Sit with me for a minute.” Ben paused, staring at the man, shrugged, and then sat across from him. The two men stared at each other while the weather beyond the glass wall grew in intensity.
“Do you know me, Ben?”
“Why would I?”
“Exactly. Why would you? I’ve made it a point my entire life to stay out of the public eye.”
“I’m not bragging when I say this Ben: I’m the best hand-to-hand fighter in the world.”
Ben stared at Hutch for a beat, then two, then he laughed; a sharp bark of a laugh that was more derision than humor. “You really are nuts.”
Hutch stared at him. He stood abruptly, water flowing upwards. Ben stood as well. “My proposal is on the table. You have until tomorrow at this time to take it or leave. One more thing, Ben…”
“It’s to the death.”
“What do you say?”
Just then Brenda stepped into the room, clad only in a man’s dress shirt, and Ben saw her as inhumanly beautiful. “Glen, we should think about evacuating. The storm—”
“Forget the storm, Brenda.” She seemed to shrink within herself a bit at his retort, but yes, the storm outside was intensifying.
“I want her.” Brenda gasped.
Hutch stared at Ben. Then, “Okay. You win, you get Brenda and my estate. I’ll be dead anyway so who the hell cares. We go at this time tomorrow.”
“Let’s go now.” Ben began rolling his shoulders and other light stretching. Hutch immediately dropped into a left fighting stance, a gruesome smile planted on his face. He began circling Ben slowly, measuring each footstep.
“My attorney already has the proposal I made to you drafted and ready to go. You win and you get it all.”
Ben responded by lunging then backing immediately out of range. Hutch laughed. “Damn you’re quick boy.” A blast of thunder punctuated Hutch’s observation. The skies were beginning to go from pitch black to steel gray and the wind ballooned to a constant roar.
Hutch moved in, arms tucked in to his sides, hands up, palms out; classic Muay Thai, daring Ben to strike. The man’s shins were shiny with scar tissue and Ben knew to avoid those else he’d be clubbed senseless. Hutch jacked up his front knee and lunged; Ben slapped the knee and side-stepped. Hutch followed with a chop that was masked, but Ben saw it coming and ducked, sweeping his foot out to hook Hutch’s back leg.
It was like hooking a stanchion.
Hutch leaped over the hook and flashed a back-kick aimed at Ben’s head; he rolled away from it, then leapt high, whipping a spinning heel hook kick at Hutch’s head, who countered with a forearm block. That hurt Ben more than Hutch and he staggered as he landed awkwardly.
Hutch surged in throwing calculated, precise strikes that Ben was able to block, but the blows were powerful and fast. One slip and Ben would be out of it.
Which maybe wasn’t such a bad thing.
Hutch leaned left, Ben launched himself straight up with his left knee striking squarely under Hutch’s jaw. The crack drew a gasp from Brenda and left Hutch reeling backward. Ben bolted in on Hutch and slammed both elbows on either side of Hutch’s neck, dropping him to his knee, but then he rapid-fired two hard strikes into Ben’s right knee.
Searing pain erupted in Ben’s damaged knee and he fell backward. Both men hesitated, collecting themselves, when the storm exploded seemingly right over their heads.
The glass wall was blasted into shards by the thundering sea, inundating the entire training room and engulfing all three in a surging tide that hammered them first against the wall of the house and then yanked them mercilessly out to sea, their little drama dwarfed by the unimaginable fury of the storm.
Ben battled to break the surface of the raging sea, bursting through with a gasp and sputter. He struggled to tread water against the tides and his ruptured knee. But he was able to clear his vision and take stock a bit.
Perhaps one hundred feet away from him, someone was struggling to swim, and judging by the splash, it was Hutch. Ben began side-stroking toward the man who was no longer splashing. As he hove into view, Ben could see streamers of blood mingling with the whitecaps and Hutch’s head barely breaking the surface. Then his head sank and didn’t rise again.
The house was utterly demolished, debris littering the sea all around Ben, and he latched onto timber and slow-kicked himself to shore where he found Brenda, barely alive with a jagged chunk of timber sticking out of her chest and a glittering shard of glass protruding from where her eye should have been.
Ben crawled on shore, aided by waves that battered him and flattened him to the sand. He raised his head, roughly wiped hair from his eyes. “I won, you lunatic bastard. I won.”

"Don't cross your bridges before they're hatched."
When producer John Nathan-Turner and script-editor Christopher Hamilton Bidmead (as he prefers to be called) took over Doctor Who for season 18, they took a good hard look at the show and considered it to be old fashioned, overly silly and an embarrassing parody of its former self. Nathan-Turner wanted to sweep away the past and bring the show firmly into the new decade. Unfortunately, that decade was the 1980s. What was modern and stylish in 1980 often quickly became outdated and tacky by 1981.
A load of big changes were ahead. When 'The Leisure Hive' aired it featured a brand new title sequence along with a remix of theme tune, which I quite like, but don't think suits the Fourth Doctor. New special effects techniques were brought into play. Tom Baker’s previously iconic costume was ditched in favour of some ghastly burgundy horror complete with idiotic ‘?’ on the collars for added mystery. The Doctor and Romana stopped exchanging witty barbs with each other and instead spewed endless drools of incomprehensible technobabble. It was a stylish makeover, but ultimately a cold and hollow one, lacking substance and warmth.
Even without the new look, 'The Leisure Hive' would still be a very dull story. The are way too many scenes that consist of nothing but people standing around talking about tacheons or corporate takeovers. The plot seems to have been lifted wholesale from an episode of Scooby Doo. Think about it, it's set at an old amusement park where someone in disguise (in this case an alien disguised as a human rather than the other way round) is sneaking around, causing all sorts of trouble, so they can take over the park. And they would haven gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddlesome Time Lords.
There have been worse script-editors but there’s something about Chris Bidmead (which is how I’m going to call him because I know it would irritate him) that just gets on my nerves. Maybe it’s the fact he created Adric, or his arrogant assumption that his way is the best (and only) way to make Doctor Who. But I think it has to be the fact that he sucked the fun and magic out of the series, turning it into a one long boring science lecture about entropy.
Bidmead took the show too seriously. He wanted Doctor Who to be proper science fiction with the emphasis firmly on the science rather than the fiction. That’s all right if you're writing for Star Trek, but this is show about a mad man with a magic box that's bigger on the inside. Calling Doctor Who silly is a redundant accusation. Of course it’s silly. It’s meant to be silly. Silliness is an essential part of the show. It’s absurd! Bonkers even. And that’s why we love it. But the silliness should be kept firmly on a leash, not sent off to a farm in the country. Hard science has no place in the Doctor’s world. Frankly, it’s boring and no one loathes boring more than the Doctor.
It wasn’t just the fans who didn’t appreciate what the new production team were trying to do. By phasing out the humour and upping the scientific lingo, JNT and Bidmead alienated the show’s stars. Lalla Ward had already decided to leave, unhappy with the direction the show was taking since Williams and Adams' departure. And she wasn't the only one. Due to a mixture of illness and boredom, Tom Baker couldn’t be arsed to give it his all any more. He wanders through most of this season almost half asleep, eager for the director to call cut so he can nip off to the BBC bar for a quick one. Baker wasn’t happy with the material he was being provided with or that Nathan-Turner was less willing to listen to his suggestions for improvements. This would all factor into his eventual decision to leave the series.
Notes and Quotes
--John Leeson returns to provide the voice of K-9. For all of five seconds before the metal mutt is written out of story. He barely dips his wheels in the water before he explodes. So much for 51st century technology.
--Episode 1 opens with a long panning shot of the deserted Brighton beach that is nice in concept, but goes on for too long.
--The old age make up for the Doctor was a lot better than more recent efforts.
--It was rather foolish of Romana and whathisface to just run off and leave their experiment running.
--The Foamasi costume was later reused in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as the leader of the G'Gugvuntt.
Mena: "Have you ever experimented with time?"
The Doctor: "Well, yes, but in a purely academic way of no interest to anyone."
Pangol: "How did you get out?"
The Doctor: "Through a hole in the back."
Pangol: "But there isn't one."
The Doctor: "There is now."
Brock: "His scarf killed Stimson."
The Doctor: "Arrest the scarf then!"

The women in the Bible speak powerfully to us today.
The notable men in God’s drama of redemption tend to be more familiar to us. Yet biblical women play vital, exiting roles in the plan of salvation. Every Woman in the Bible gives much-needed attention to all women mentioned in the Bible, from those with major roles in God’s plan of salvation to those who are never named.
From the struggles of Rebekah and Rachel to the faithfulness of Mary and Martha, and from the ruthless to the remarkable, from the most obscure to the most well-known, this volume vividly portrays the lives and experiences of Bible women. Every Woman in the Bible combines the following features to accurately explain who these biblical women were and the times in which they lived:
