I especially liked that the program is accelerated, and would allow me to enter the job market quickly. Brown attracts top-quality faculty, and the small size of the program allowed me to really get to know both my professors and classmates, and build strong relationships that continue today. Lastly, Brown has a collaborative culture that encourages study across disciplines. As a result, I was able to take an urban education policy class and doctoral-level sociology course.
I worked at Human Rights Watch, West Africa Division in Washington D.C. At Human Rights Watch, I was the first person to research human rights violations by Boko Haram in Northern Cameroon. The fact that it was an ongoing international crisis made my project all the more urgent. My consultancy combined research, international human rights, policy analysis, advocacy, and knowledge of French (I’m a native speaker, having grown up in Cameroon).
Over the course of the consultancy, I became adept at understanding international human rights law and policy. I studied the international rights charters of the United Nations, U.S., France, and Cameroon and used what I learned in my policy analysis course to distinguish what actions clearly constituted human rights violations. An important lesson I learned in the MPA program is the politics of public policy and the power of advocacy. A policy analyst can produce a well-researched, well-written report, but how do you persuade political actors to care about the issue, and act? I used what I learned about the politics of policy to create a compelling case for Human Rights Watch to take action, and my recommendations were included as part of a larger report for an international delegation sent to Cameroon.
I really feel fortunate to be able to combine my love for public policy and management. I know my work has a direct impact on the wellbeing of our troops, strengthening our national security, and protecting American lives both abroad and at home. For example, much of my time is spent verifying that federal agencies including the Department of Defense and FEMA strategize and implement policy correctly. As a I learned in the MPA program, a policy that is not well implemented is ineffective.


The world is changing, says Harvard Professor Fernando Reimers, and schools everywhere must change with it. Preparing students to become global citizens should be a priority for all educators, but how exactly should these lessons be approached?“If we are serious about preparing students to understand globalization, we should treat this the way we treat any other subject about which we are serious,” says Reimers, director of Harvard Graduate School of Education’s (HGSE) International Education Policy Program. “We should have high-quality curriculum. It should be rigorous curriculum and it should provide extended opportunities for students to engage with the subject.”With a group of HGSE doctoral students, Reimers began to consider what it would take to create such a curriculum, starting by identifying the competencies high school students should have in order to understand and, ultimately, better the world. The result is “Empowering Global Citizens: A World Course,” a book designed not only to support the educators who are already teaching with globalization in mind, but also to challenge those who are not.In this edition of the Harvard EdCast, Reimers speaks about the book and gives insight into a curriculum designed to empower all citizens of the world.The Global Classroom | Harvard Graduate School of EducationFernando Reimers, professor at HGSE, reflects on the increasingly important role global education plays in schools around the world.
The appreciation of the euro against the US dollar stifled investment returns from Portuguese occupational pension funds in the second quarter of 2017, according to Willis Towers Watson.Schemes generated a median return of 0.2% over the period. The average 12-month return to the end of June was 2.7%, compared with a 3.3% return for the 12 months to 31 March 2017. Annualised returns for the three years to 30 June rose to 3%, and reached 5.6% for the five-year period.José Marques, senior investment consultant at Willis Towers Watson, said: “The key factor affecting the returns of all assets for euro-zone investors was the euro’s appreciation against the US dollar. Although global equities performed relatively well in local currency over Q2, the strengthening of the euro versus the US dollar resulted in poor returns, -2.4%, when measured in euros.”However, in Portugal pension funds were largely invested in the euro-zone so the impact of the euro’s appreciation was only modest, he said. He said: “Euro equities outperformed most other geographical equities over the quarter. European equities have performed extremely well this year, boosted by higher company earnings compared with analysts’ estimates, and the defeat of right-wing political parties in France and the Netherlands.”Marques continued: “During the quarter, developed market equities [lost] 2.4% in euro terms, underperforming emerging market equities by 2.1%. Developed French and Italian equities returned the best performance from major regions – 2.3% and 2.2% respectively.”The worst performer in euro terms was equities in developed Asia Pacific ex-Japan, which lost 4.8%, predominantly as a result of euro appreciation against Pacific region currencies.Performance figures were submitted by so-called ‘closed’ funds, which are generally pension plans for a single employer or group of companies, and make up the vast bulk of occupational plans in Portugal.The analysis used data covering around €13bn in assets, equal to 80% of the closed pension fund market in Portugal. It incorporated more than 100 pension funds, including the five biggest pension fund managers in the country.Portuguese pension fund portfolios were still heavily dominated by debt, which made up 51.7% of portfolios (including direct and indirect holdings), according to estimates from the Portuguese Association of Investment Funds, Pension Funds and Asset Management (APFIPP). The estimates cover 88% of the Portuguese pension fund market at end-March.Equities made up 22.8%, and real estate 13.1%, of portfolios at that date.Meanwhile, Marques said that government and corporate bonds both made a small positive return in Q2 compared with the losses experienced in Q1.For example, 10-Year EMU government bonds returned 1% over the second quarter of 2017, while European corporate bonds – as measured by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch EMU Non-Sovereigns index – returned 0.2% over the quarter. French bonds delivered positive returns due to a fall in French yields following the presidential election.

Randall Peltzer, a struggling inventor, visits a Chinatown antique store in the hope of finding a Christmas present for his son Billy. In the store, Randall encounters a small, furry creature called a ‘mogwai.’ The owner, Mr. Wing, refuses to sell the creature to Randall. However, his grandson secretly sells the mogwai to Randall, warning him to remember three important rules that must never be broken—do not expose the mogwai to bright lights or sunlight which will kill it, do not let it come in contact with water, and never feed it after midnight.
Plot: A boy inadvertently breaks three important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town.
Director: Joe Dante
Aspect Ratio: 1.85.1
Runtime: 106 min
Rotten Tomatoes Consensus: Whether you choose to see it as a statement on consumer culture or simply a special effects-heavy popcorn flick, Gremlins is a minor classic.
“Keep him out of the light. Don’t give him any water — and no matter what, never feed him after midnight.”
This movie was shot on 70mm film and ultimately given a 4K digital intermediate. As per the norm with UHD releases, it was also given a HDR color grade for your viewing pleasure in HDR10. When it comes to grain, you get grain, grain and more grain — sometimes it’s light, but most of the time it’s pretty moderate. Good news is that the grain helps the movie hold a filmatic look, which looks great in its full screen ratio. As expected, there are some soft shots, but nothing that takes you out of the movie.
Gremlins on 4K UHD is the best way to watch and it’s the first true release of the film to date.
This disc is an upgrade at nearly every level — you’ll get more sharpness, great use of HDR and black levels. As you already know, this film is pretty dark, so you will notice the increased contrast and shadows during those scenes. The easiest highlights to note are not only the character close-ups, but during the few daytime moments. You’ll notice boosts in sharpness and color due to the natural lighting and great use of HDR. Something else to note is even though it’s a great upgrade, this disc won’t have eye-popping reference grade material — just know it’s a solid 80’s looking UHD transfer. Honestly, if you’ve ever watched the Blu-ray release, nearly every scene in UHD is a highlight in comparison. I’ll just leave it at that.
Gremlins has long been considered a classic of the 80’s and a film that comes into rotation every single time the holidays come around. Gremlins, at least in my opinion, goes into the category of alternative Christmas movies to watch like Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. You can’t go wrong.
Officially, the 4K UHD Combo Pack & Digital releases on October 1st, so make sure you head out to your local retailer to pick it up — it’s an easy recommendation. We need more 80’s movies getting this treatment. Moving forward, there are actually a lot of classics coming to the UHD format next month including: The Shining, Pans Labyrinth, Scarface, The Wizard of Oz and It’s A Wonderful Life — be sure to check back in for more reviews throughout October.

Yes, robots will likely take some of our jobs as automation and artificial intelligence continue to advance. This shift is already happening in various industries, and it is expected to impact the workforce significantly in the coming years.
The integration of robots and AI technology could lead to job displacement and the need for workers to adapt to new skills and roles to remain relevant in the changing job market. While some jobs may be eliminated, new opportunities are also likely to emerge as technological advancements create new demands in the labor market.
Adapting to this evolving landscape will be crucial for both individuals and businesses to thrive in the age of automation.
Understanding Job Automation
The Evolution Of Automation In The Workforce
Automation has been a part of the workforce for decades, starting with the industrial revolution. However, recent advancements in technology have led to a rapid evolution of job automation. From robotic assembly lines to artificial intelligence, the landscape of automation in the workforce is constantly evolving.
Identifying Industries At High Risk For Automation
Several industries are at high risk for automation due to the repetitive nature of their tasks and the potential for cost savings. These industries include manufacturing, transportation, retail, and customer service. As technology continues to advance, more industries may also be at risk of automation.
Jobs That Have Already Been Replaced By Robots
Many jobs have already been replaced by robots, such as assembly line workers in factories, cashiers in retail stores, and even some roles in customer service. The impact of job automation is already evident, and it’s important to consider the potential for further job displacement as technology continues to advance.
Measuring Automation’s Impact On Employment
Analyzing Historical Trends Of Technology And Job Creation
Looking back at historical trends, technology has consistently transformed the nature of jobs. From the industrial revolution to the digital age, innovation has brought both challenges and opportunities to the workforce. While some jobs have become obsolete due to automation, new roles have emerged, creating a shift in the labor market.
Presenting Expert Predictions: More Jobs Or Fewer?
Expert opinions on the impact of automation on employment vary. Some foresee a reduction in routine tasks, potentially leading to job displacement in certain industries. However, there’s also a prevailing belief that automation will create new job categories and augment existing roles. The long-term effects of automation on job creation remain a topic of debate among specialists.
Regional Differences In Automation’s Impact On Jobs
The impact of automation on employment differs from region to region. Developed countries with advanced technological infrastructure may experience a more rapid adoption of automation, potentially affecting traditional job markets. In contrast, emerging economies may witness a different pace of automation adoption and a distinct impact on their labor force. Understanding these regional disparities is crucial in assessing the overall impact of automation on global employment.
The Paradox Of Automation
As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the question of whether robots will replace human jobs has become a topic of widespread concern. This phenomenon, often referred to as “The Paradox of Automation,” raises complex implications for the workforce. On one hand, automation has the potential to improve efficiency and streamline processes, leading to increased productivity. On the other hand, there is a valid fear of job displacement and economic instability. In this article, we’ll delve into the intricacies of this paradox and explore how automation could usher in a new era of work.
Balancing Job Loss Fear With Productivity Gains
The fear of job loss stemming from automation is a valid concern that has sparked widespread debate. As technology automates repetitive and routine tasks, there is a looming apprehension that certain job roles may become obsolete. This has undoubtedly created a sense of uncertainty among workers across various industries. However, it’s crucial to recognize the potential productivity gains that automation can offer. By delegating mundane tasks to machines, human workers can redirect their focus towards more strategic and creative endeavors, unlocking new opportunities for growth and innovation within organizations. This shift in dynamics presents a delicate balance between the apprehension of job loss and the potential for enhanced productivity and job enrichment.
Case Studies: The Unexpected Benefits Of Automation

How Automation Could Lead To More Meaningful Work For Humans
Contrary to the pervasive notion of automation displacing human workers, many experts argue that the integration of technology can pave the way for more meaningful and fulfilling work experiences. By offloading routine responsibilities to machines, humans can focus on tasks that require emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills. This shift holds the potential to foster a work environment where employees are engaged in intellectually stimulating work, fostering creativity and problem-solving capabilities. Moreover, it could prompt a reevaluation of job roles, leading to the emergence of new positions that are inherently human-centric, such as roles centered around empathy, relationship-building, and innovation.
Preparing For The Future Of Work
As we navigate the rapidly changing landscape of the modern workplace, the question of whether robots will take our jobs looms large. However, rather than fearing the inevitable technological advancements, we must focus on preparing for the future of work. This means exploring educational reforms, reskilling opportunities, and adapting government policies to ensure a smooth transition into an era of automation.
Educational Reforms To Address Future Job Markets
The traditional education system needs to evolve to equip individuals with the skills required to thrive in a tech-driven workforce. This includes promoting STEM education, developing critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and fostering creativity and adaptability. Moreover, an emphasis on lifelong learning is essential to keep pace with the ever-changing job landscape.
Reskilling: A Pathway To Coexist With Machines
Amidst technological advancements, reskilling becomes imperative for both existing and future workers. Companies and educational institutions should collaborate to provide training programs in machine learning, data analysis, and other high-demand skills. Embracing artificial intelligence and automation as complementary tools, rather than replacements, is the key to fostering a symbiotic relationship between humans and machines.
Governments And Policies Adapting To Automation
The role of governments is crucial in facilitating a smooth transition into an automated job market. This involves creating policies that support retraining programs, incentivizing companies to adopt advanced technologies responsibly, and ensuring a safety net for workers displaced by automation. By proactively addressing the impact of automation, governments can help mitigate potential job displacement and promote a more inclusive, tech-empowered workforce.
Will Robots Take Our Jobs? Navigating Uncertainty
As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the question of whether robots will take our jobs looms large. Navigating the uncertainty surrounding this issue is essential for individuals and businesses alike. Understanding the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and the strategies to ensure a human workforce remains relevant are crucial aspects in this rapidly evolving landscape.
Embracing A Future With Humans And Robots Co-working
The future workplace is likely to see humans and robots co-existing as collaborative partners, rather than being pitted against each other. This paradigm shift presents an opportunity for embracing a symbiotic relationship, where humans and robots complement each other’s strengths. By leveraging the unique capabilities of both, businesses can achieve enhanced productivity, efficiency, and innovation.
The Role Of Ai In Shaping Job Security And Career Paths
AI plays a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of job security and career paths. While certain routine tasks may be automated, AI also offers the potential for new and creative roles, enabling individuals to pivot toward high-value areas that require human ingenuity and emotional intelligence. Adapting to this shift entails embracing lifelong learning, staying agile, and developing skills that are inherently human.
Strategies For Businesses To Ensure A Human Workforce Remains Relevant

Condo Expenses -Separate Bank Accounts
Condo Corporations have two different types of expenses:
1. There are the OPERATING EXPENSES such as snow removal, general maintenance and other recurring expenses for the up-keep of the property.
2. There are the MAJOR PLANNED EXPENSES. These expenses are pre-planned, and paid for, from the Reserve Fund. Such expanses include the replacement of assets of the corporation and the updating and renovation of the common elements.
Therefore, the best accounting practice would be to have two separate bank accounts to make it easier to monitor and keep a track of all the expenses.

Ward 2 Candidate Jonathan Galgay has announced his first priority if elected to City Hall in September’s Municipal Election. “If elected I will ensure that within the first month in office I will introduce a motion to establish a Community Engagement Strategy for the City of St. John’s”.
This strategy would outline the cities obligation to engage residents on issues of public policy and development. “Council has a duty to consult with residents, and this will provide greater clarity on decision making, certainty on expectations, and adequate public engagement”.
I recognize the importance of involving residents in the development of policy, programs, and services. This is vital to the sustainability of our neighbourhoods and city. This strategy would focus on “protecting and promoting the best interests of residents”.
It is important to note that each situation demands its own approach and process. This strategy would be designed to ensure a framework is in place for residents and municipal leaders to follow as decisions are being made. This strategy would not only be developed by councillors and city staff, but would be inclusive of community groups, associations, and business leaders. We need to develop and lead issues of public policy which are reflective of local values and traditions.
I am determined to ignite a positive attitude and committed to lessen the burden on its residents. I believe that City Hall belongs to the people, and that each resident deserves the highest standard of service and commitment

KANSAS CITY -- As the Aug. 1 non-waiver Trade Deadline looms for the Royals, general manager Dayton Moore said he and his staff are preparing on both fronts -- as sellers or buyers.The defending World Series champion Royals have put Moore in that kind of limbo with a lackluster stretch
KANSAS CITY -- As the Aug. 1 non-waiver Trade Deadline looms for the Royals, general manager Dayton Moore said he and his staff are preparing on both fronts -- as sellers or buyers.
The defending World Series champion Royals have put Moore in that kind of limbo with a lackluster stretch in which they have not won back-to-back games since June 29-30.
After Monday's 6-2 loss to the Angels, the Royals (48-50) stand 8 1/2 games behind the American League Central-leading Indians and seven games out of the second Wild Card spot.
• Trade Deadline: The latest news and rumors
On one hand, Moore hasn't conceded the 2016 postseason race.
"I know we haven't played our best baseball to date," Moore said. "We're capable of doing much better. And our players know that. Our coaching staff knows that. Our fans know that. We haven't been as healthy as we've been in the past. That's certainly a factor as you evaluate how you match up with the other teams in the division, but we're constantly evaluating the landscape: what players are out there and what we can do to continue to improve our team."
Any acquisitions likely will be subtle ones that are financially feasible.
"I think right now, financially, we are where we are," Moore said. "There's not much flexibility to add payroll, nor did we expect that when we put this team together. Mr. [David] Glass has always been very generous and allowed us to do what we need to do.
"That being said, if we felt as an organization there was that one player out there that was so impactful, that was going to put us over the hump and make the absolute difference for this baseball team, Mr. Glass would have no problem adding payroll."
Then again, Moore and his staff also have to be practical. The Royals will have three pending free agents in designated hitter Kendrys Morales and pitchers Edinson Vólquez and Luke Hochevar -- all of whom have mutual options on their contracts for 2017 but all of whom could opt out.
"We're not going to just dismember our team because a player is a free agent," Moore said. "Unless I get a directive that we need to peel off dollars and so forth, which I haven't been given that directive, to make that very clear, we'll continue the course."
Volquez has heard the rumors about him possibly being dealt.
"It doesn't bother me," Volquez said. "I do know that I want to stay here. Kansas City, since we won the World Series, is like a new home for me."
• Morosi: Royals weighing offers for Davis, Volquez
Teams reportedly have approached the Royals about closer Wade Davis, who is under contract through 2017. Moore said he listens to all offers.
"I wouldn't classify or categorize any player as untouchable. Never have," Moore said. "We always evaluate somebody's level of interest and what their level of interest may mean to the improvement of our team in terms of players that they would be willing to part with, because that's what you do, especially this time of year."

Retailers, consumers and prices
Check out the latest liquidation sale in the retail world.
U.S. regional department store chain Gottschalks will be liquidated after it failed to attract a buyer willing to operate the company as a going concern, the creditors’ committee said. Going-out-of-business sales at the company’s 58 department stores and three specialty apparel stores in six western states are expected to begin around April 3.
A joint venture of liquidators won the auction for the assets of the Fresno, California-based chain, which filed for bankruptcy protection in January. The auction is subject to bankruptcy court approval.
Liquidation sales in the current environment of lower consumer spending are not unusual. In November, Circuit City Stores became the highest-profile retailer to file for bankruptcy during the recession and liquidated its assets after failing to find a buyer.

Designers React to Stores Asking for Lower prices (WWD, subscription required)
Gottschalks filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Wednesday after a tough holiday season. The company said it would pursue options including the possible sale of the company.
For those of you wondering “Got who?” — Gottschalks is a chain with 61 stores, most of them in California. Gottschalks said it had negotiated $125 million in debtor-in-possession financing from a group of lenders led by GE Capital.
Gottschalks was not alone. Goody’s LLC, a privately held clothing retailer that emerged from bankruptcy in October, filed for Chapter 11 protection again and said it plans to liquidate its remaining 282 stores.
Goody’s said it had investigated a number of alternatives, and ultimately concluded that the best way to maximize value for creditors was to conduct an orderly liquidation.
Gottschalks and Goody’s join KB Toys (shown here), Circuit City and other retailers who have filed for bankruptcy protection recently as consumers cut back on purchases amid the recession.

DirecTV (NASDAQ:DTV) will report its Q4 2013 earnings on February 20. The satellite company has so far performed better among the pay-TV operators and lost fewer subscribers in 2013. The company in the previous quarter benefited from the Time Warner Cable’s (NYSE:TWC) dispute with CBS (NYSE:CBS) over distribution fees and added 139,000 subscribers during the quarter. .
The pay-TV industry is witnessing fierce competition between cable companies, satellite operators and telcos. Moreover, the surge in demand for alternative video services such as Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) is adding to the woes of pay-TV operators. While slowing growth in the domestic pay-TV industry remains a key concern, satellite companies may benefit from the cord-switching from cable operators. We believe that DirecTV will see continued growth primarily on its strong brand, customer service and unique programming such as NFL Sunday Ticket. The company’s focus on retaining existing subscribers will aid growth in its domestic average monthly revenue per subscriber (ARPU).
In its recent dispute over fees with The Weather Channel, DirecTV has replaced the network with WeatherNation TV. Many such incidents come up every now and then, where TV content producers demand higher fees from the cable and satellite companies that carry their programming. The higher fees translate into ballooning bills for consumers and provide an incentive to switch services or even move to alternative video platforms such as Netflix. We look forward to learning more from management with earnings on the dispute with The Weather Channel.

The company’s Latin American (LatAm) operations on the other hand have been driving the growth for the company for quite some time now. However, there has been a slowdown in the recent past primarily due to the depreciation of LatAm currencies against the U.S. Dollar. As a result, the ARPU has dropped by double digits to $49 in the September ending quarter as compared to $56 in the prior year period.
We currently have $64 price estimate for DirecTV, which we will soon update based on the fourth quarter earnings announcement.
Latin America Growth And Concerns In The Near Term
DirecTV has been able to gain market share in Latin America due to the success of its middle-market focused programming packages and the growing popularity of prepaid products. Most of the region lacks a developed wireline copper and coaxial-cable infrastructure, and this is helping the satellite operators to grow. Digital TV penetration in Latin America is expected to surge from less than a third of homes at the end of 2012 to nearly 45% by end of 2013, and reach 84% by 2018, according to a report from Digital TV Research.
While there is an increased competition in the region, DirecTV has a competitive edge due to its high quality video and DirecTV Play – an online content portal with a collection of movies, TV shows, sports and channels on demand available to its subscribers. The fact is that pay-TV, although growing at a fast pace, is still largely under-penetrated in the region and offers strong growth potential for the company in the long term.
However, in the recent past things haven’t been great on LatAm front. Macroeconomic volatility in Brazil weighed on the company’s earnings in the previous two quarters. The situation still looks gloomy with Brazil’s currency recently falling to a 5-month low over widening of the trade deficit.  While we believe DirecTV will continue to add more subscribers in the LatAm markets, we are still wary of ARPU trends given the currency impact.Notes:

Q Ever since I had a baby, sex is painful for me. It’s making me dread sex. I don’t want to talk to my doctor because I’m too embarrassed.
Quite frankly I am in awe of any women who has been through pregnancy and childbirth. I can’t imagine ever wanting sex again after sex leading to the pain of giving birth! Or ever having the energy to have sex, looking after a baby!! So big thumbs up from me for even going there! (I have a gorgeous stepdaughter but I didn’t have to give birth to her!)
First up, reassurance. It’s normal for sex to hurt after childbirth.
And, of course, you’ll dread sex if it’s painful. You say don’t want to talk to your doctor but I sincerely hope you’ve spoken with your partner and aren’t just gritting your teeth and putting up with it.
One reason why you really must see your doctor is that it’s their job to help guide you through all this. They will give you the go ahead of when it’s OK to start having sex again. It’s usually around six weeks after but that depends on the person. If you had an episiotomy or a tear, you might be susceptible to a vaginal infection if you have sex too early. You should also wait for all postpartum bleeding to have stopped.
A physical examination is an absolute must before you go any further. I can’t emphasise enough how important it is for you to see your doctor. If you feel embarrassed seeing the doctor you see all the time, ask to see a different doctor. If you don’t want to talk to a male doctor, ask to see a female doctor. Tell them it’s because you want to talk about a personal female issue, and you feel more comfortable talking to a woman. This isn’t something to feel embarrassed about. It’s a physical problem that’s happened because you’ve done the most natural thing in the world – had a baby! Please don’t be embarrassed.
I can give you information here and there are plenty of chat groups you can join and tons of information online but you MUST have a physical examination before you go any further. I would stop having sex until that’s done.
It’s also usual for sex to feel different after childbirth.
Some women say they feel tender, others have shoot-through-the-roof pain. It’s normal to feel dryer than you did before – breast-feeding suppresses oestrogen – which can hinder lubrication and make sex uncomfortable. When you resume having sex, using a good quality lube is essential. I’d recommend a position where there’s shallow penetration rather than deep – maybe side by side. Or you on top where you’re in control of everything.
Stitches can also cause issues.
You need to make sure you don’t put pressure on them. Take it slow and get him to insert slowly and let you get used to him before going deeper. It can feel weird his end as well. You need to talk to each other to navigate all this. I remember talking to one couple who’d just had a baby and he said intercourse felt like ‘putting his hands in a cutlery drawer with lots of knives’. I think he was referring to feeling internal stitches. All I could think was, if it felt like that for him, imagine how it felt like for her! Sometimes using lube and the right position will fix it but if you’ve had a significant tear, it can take months to heal.
You are not alone with this.
One study showed nearly all women who’ve given birth experience pain with intercourse even six months after delivery.
You need to be kind to yourself, talk with your partner and explain that it’s hurting. Make sure you’re relaxed before sex. Have a bath. Make sure you have enough foreplay. In fact, if penetration hurts badly, avoid it for a while and have oral sex or use sex toys to get yourself back into the groove of being intimate with your partner.
Most of all, wait until you’re emotionally ready. When something has been painful, our body tenses up, expecting that pain again. This, of course, means sex will be painful because you need to be relaxed for the vagina to expand and lubricate so you find it comfortable.
If sex is still painful months after this, go back to the doctor or your gynaecologist again. There might be scar tissue at the site of the tear. Sometimes, it’s because you’ve been stitched up too tightly or an infection could be causing it.

Sharon Stone Dating 27 Year-Old Male Model Martin Mica
Sharon Stone may be 54 – but that doesn’t mean she can’t make out with a hot model! According to The Daily Mail, the actress was spotted at Venice Beach in Los Angeles yesterday…underneath 27 year-old model Martin Mica! The hottie gave her a shoulder massage before they started making out.
Later, Martin was seen doing handstands, since apparently that’s what male models do at the beach. Perhaps he was giving Sharon a gymnastic lesson; she was also spotted trying to do somersaults. Afterwards they had a romantic walk along the beach before Martin picked her up and spun her around.
Sharon and Martin were also spotted leaving a Vogue party together in Brazil last month. If she’s stressed about being sued by her nanny, you’d never know it.

Mazda will bring to this year's Paris Motor Show the sedan and estate versions of the all-new Mazda6.
At the end of last month Mazda introduced the all-new Mazda6 sedan and now we have learned from the Japanese automaker that the wagon/estate version will be making its first public appearance at the Paris Motor Show which starts at the end of this month. This is perhaps one of the most attractive station wagons in the last few years and it will be showcased along with its sedan brother.
Scheduled to go on sale later on this year in Europe, the new generation of the Mazda6 will be offered with a SKYACTIV-D 2.2-liter diesel engine in Standard Power or High Power versions. Petrolheads will have the possibility of equipping the car with a SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter gasoline unit that pumps out 148 HP (110 kW) and 155 lb-ft (210 Nm). There’s also the bigger SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter engine with 189 HP (141 kW) and 189 lb-ft (256 Nm).
This is the first car wearing the Mazda badge that features the company’s own brake energy recuperation system known as i-ELOOP which will be offered for the 2.5-liter engine. The new Mazda6 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear layout, while the torsional rigidity has improved by approximately 30 percent compared to the model it replaces.
Additional info can be found in the related link and press release.

Now I have a funny to tell. I am eating a grilled chicken flat bread wrap with some baked beans for dinner. When I finish, I am going to change and go out for 8 miles. I still need to see if any kinds of food are going to make me sick at the ultra. I have seen I do well with pbj, cookies, Frito's, crackers, etc... but you will find pizza, quesadillas and assorted other goodies at some races. I want to make sure heavy duty stuff won't make me sick either. I'll let you all know how it goes.
Well, I guess nothin' makes me sick. Even Blue Cheese Dressing. Although I did get a little nauseous at about 4 miles, but it passed. So, 8 miles; 1:53:55; average pace 14:11; average HR 124 64%. Seems kind of low, especially right after eating dinner, but that is what the monitor said. Night walking with a headlamp in interesting at best.

Gwent ends its life in small steps. CD Projekt RED confirms the end of support for the card game
CD Projekt RED is preparing for the great end of Gwent development. The card game was very popular at the time, developers tried to attract players from PlayStation and Xbox consoles to the title, but the studio confirmed the last year of support.
Gwent has been in development for years and has had very good results in its time, but CD Projekt RED realizes that the card game is coming to an end. The studio just confirmed that production will be developed for the last 12 months.
CD Projekt RED wants to prepare new cards and content for Gwent by the end of 2023, and then the developers will no longer work on the game. However, this does not mean complete “death”, because the studio will provide the players with tools and they will be able to develop the position – the company has prepared “Project Gwentfinity”.
The studio has announced that it intends to bring Gwent to a state in the coming year so that the developers can then hand over the game to the community – it is the fans who will receive the tool for preparing patches and further support.
In April, July and September next year, Gwent will receive new content – a total of 72 new cards will be added to the title. The company also intends to run two Gwent Masters tournaments, which are scheduled for summer and winter.

MICHAEL HEARNE served as a member of the Camden Police Department for 18 years until his arrest in November of 2006 on charges of conspiring to rob drug dealers and launder the proceeds.
Although Hearne had established a strong reputation in the city for his participation in community outreach projects, he had been known to associate with one of Camden's most notorious drug dealers, Jose Rivera, and was caught on tape counseling Rivera on how to deal with investigators in 1997. How long that association had been in place before the taping, and what activities Michael Hearne was involved in between his being caught on tape with Rivera in 1997 and his arrest in 2006 can only be speculated on.
Camden Courier-Post - January 22, 2000
Tape captures Camden officer advising alleged drug dealer
FRANK KUMMER and CLINT RILEY
An FBI tape played Friday in U.S. District Court captured a Camden police officer advising alleged druglord Jose "JR" Rivera how to handle narcotics investigators who seized a boat registered in his name.
"Don't do nothing, don't do nothing," Officer Michael Hearne tells Rivera on June 4, 1997, in a conversation inside an East Camden gym owned by Rivera. "... let them (expletives) come to you. Let them come to you."
Hearne tells Rivera that police would probably notify him by letter that they wanted to speak with him.
"So I'd wait for those (expletives) to send you a letter, you know," Hearne says.
Unknown to Hearne, a 13-year department veteran, he was being tape-recorded by Rivera associate Juan Marquez as the three men talked about the recent arrest of convicted drug dealer Kenneth Waller.
The discussion centered on a boat that investigators seized at Waller's grandmother's house in Camden.
The approximately $40,000 boat was registered to Rivera, but Marquez and others have testified it was paid for by convicted drug dealer Saul Febo.
Marquez, an admitted drug dealer, was working as an FBI informant at the time. He testified Friday that Hearne was in uniform as they talked.
Marquez's testimony came during his third day on the witness stand at the drug conspiracy trial of Rivera and alleged top associate Luis "Tun Tun" Figueroa.
Hearne, 35, is the seventh law enforcement officer to be linked by name during the trial to Rivera or the drug organization he allegedly headed. So far, Hearne is the only officer captured on tape. More officers are expected to be identified as the trial continues.
"The tapes are what they are," Hearne said Friday night, while working at the North Camden police substation. "Anybody that knows me knows what type of police officer I am. Anybody that knows my character knows what type of person I am. The nature of the things on the tapes can be and are being misconstrued by whoever is reading them."
Hearne said his profanities when mentioning other police were just "gym talk." He said he regularly lifted weights at Rivera's gym and that he only knew him as a businessman.
"I can tell you unequivocally, beyond a shadow of a doubt, I have never sold any drugs, transported any drugs or taken any bribes for my cooperation or support," Hearne said. "I am a born-again Christian. I would never do anything to tarnish my reputation, my family's reputation, or the reputation of the Camden Police Department."
Camden Police Chief Robert Allenbach, who was not in court Friday, said later he will review the federal government's evidence related to city police officers and take appropriate action.
"I will not tolerate corruption," the chief said.
Hearne is on a list of 11 officers awaiting promotion to sergeant. Camden County Prosecutor Lee Solomon asked Allenbach to delay any promotions from the list, saying that reasons for the delay would become clear as the trial proceeds..
Philadelphia Inquirer - November 27, 2006
ARREST OF 'SAINT' SHOCKS CAMDEN
By Sam Wood and Dwight Ott
Good cop and bad cop? Thought to be a shining example, a born-again Camden officer is accused of allegedly helping the bad guys.
On the day Cpl. Michael Hearne was appointed to lead the faith-based efforts of the Camden Police Department, he drove to a seedy supermarket to meet an old friend.
The friend had a proposition: Lend me a gun to rob drug dealers, and I'll give you half the cash.
Hearne agreed, according to state police.
That was Monday, November 6.
The 42-year-old had just gotten a raise with his new job, organizing church leaders to help fight crime in Camden. But he was still broke. There was a six-figure tax lien against his Woodbury suburban rancher. And he was moonlighting as a security guard.
Investigators caught his entire conversation on tape. Later that week, Hearne was arrested as he thought he was about to meet with the friend to divvy up the loot.
City leaders were thunderstruck at the news of the arrest. No one believed that the born-again Christian and 18-year police veteran might be living a double life.
"He was a saint and did the work of 50 persons," said Camden Mayor Gwendolyn Faison. "I don't see how anyone could do so many good things and be accused of this."
Hearne was charged with official misconduct, conspiracy to commit robbery, money laundering, and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes. Police are investigating three robberies in connection with the case.
But this wasn't the first time Hearne had been linked to questionable circumstances. An FBI investigation in 1997 caught Hearne on tape advising drug kingpin Jose "J.R." Rivera on how to handle narcotics investigators.
"Hearne was clearly a confidant of J.R.'s," Kevin Smith, the assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted Rivera, said last week. "The only reason J.R. was able to thrive so long was because he had insiders working with him. Hearne was a perfect example."
There wasn't enough evidence to prosecute Hearne, but he was quietly suspended from the police force in 2000 for six months without pay. Police executive Arturo Venegas said last week that he had been aware of Hearne's conversation with Rivera before naming Hearne chaplain, but did not believe it had crossed the threshold into criminal conduct.
Rivera, accused of running the biggest drug gang in Camden's history, was later found guilty and sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Tainted by the link to Rivera, Hearne was never promoted to sergeant. His title of corporal is only an honorary one, said senior officers in the department.
Hearne could not be reached for comment. His attorney, Jeffrey Zucker, would not comment on details of the case Friday, but said Hearne was awaiting an arraignment date and had been released from the Mercer County jail on $175,000 bail.
Hearne's history with the department wasn't always blemished. He was president of the Brotherhood for Unity and Progress, a minority officers' watchdog organization, and a director on the board of the city's Fraternal Order of Police, Venegas said. He led the annual Mischief Night marches against crime through Camden.
At 6 feet and 300 pounds, he looked like a superhero. Children were awed by his size. Fellow patrolmen sought him out as a partner, senior officers said.
Hearne, who once considered a career as a professional football player, could press 480 pounds. In September 1991, he beat all competitors at the state's Police Bench Press Championships. He was declared the "Strongest Policeman in the State."
It was at an East Camden gym that Hearne first met Rivera.
When he testified at Rivera's trial in 2000, Hearne said he knew Rivera only as a businessman. He told reporters that as a born-again Christian, he would never do anything to tarnish the reputation of police department.
It's unclear what spurred the recent investigation into his alleged criminal activities. State officials began to target Hearne in mid-October, according to court papers. Investigators would say only that a confidential informant had tipped them off. In early November, when Hearne's friend asked for a weapon to hold up the drug dealers, Hearne offered a shotgun. He didn't realize the friend was wearing a wire.
After a bit of wrangling, Hearne gave him one of his personal revolvers, a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson registered in his own name, according to court papers.
Detectives said that on Friday, Nov. 10, Hearne drove to the Super 8 Motel in Bellmawr believing he was going to split the proceeds of at least three robberies. Hearne was expecting well over $30,000, said Sgt. Stephen Jones, spokesman for the state police.
It was 5 p.m. Hearne was still in uniform as he circled the motel slowly in his black van. He pulled into a parking spot in the back of the motel and waited. State troopers were well hidden. They let Hearne stew for 10 minutes. Then they pounced.
Suddenly, Hearne's van was surrounded. Weapons drawn, eight SWAT team officers shouted at Hearne to keep his hands in the air and get out of the van.
Hearne, shocked, gave up without offering any resistance. He was ordered held on $2 million bail. The following Monday, a week after he had been named administrative chaplain, his bail was reduced and he was released.
Later in the day, Hearne was stripped of his new job and suspended without pay. .

Ex-cop gets 7-year sentence
A 18-year Camden police officer known for his community outreach received seven years in state prison Thursday for conspiring with a second man to rob drug dealers.
Michael Hearne, 43, of Woodbury, pleaded guilty to a second-degree official misconduct charge before Superior Court Judge Stephen M. Holden. As part of the agreement, he will be barred for life from holding public office.
Hearne admitted giving another man a loaded .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun to rob a drug dealer. The other man was to give the money from the robberies to Hearne, who would launder it. The men would then split the proceeds, he admitted.
"(Hearne) took an oath to uphold the law and to protect the people of this state as a police officer," Attorney General Anne Milgram said in a statement. ". . . Nothing could be further from his sworn duty to maintain public safety."
Several charges -- including attempted robbery, money laundering and two counts of conspiracy -- were dropped. The second-degree official misconduct charge was the highest substantive charge Hearne faced.
Hearne's wife, Annie Hearne, 37, also faces third-degree charges of conspiracy to launder money and money laundering. There is an Oct. 18 deadline for her to reach a plea agreement.
Hearne's attorney, Jeffrey Zucker, said his client agreed to the scheme because of "financial pressures." He knew the second man, who has not been identified, from when the man was arrested as a juvenile.
The two met on November 10 as part of a New Jersey State Police sting operation. Hearne, who was in uniform, believed the man would be giving him about $75,000. He was suspended from the police department following his arrest.
Hearne will apply for the state's Intensive Supervision Program -- an out-of-prison program that requires community service, a curfew and a job. Zucker said he believes Hearne is working for a construction company and "should be a suitable candidate." He's eligible to join the program after 60 days.
"There's a lot of good deeds behind him," Zucker said.
Prior to his arrest in November, Hearne was appointed the Camden Police Department's chaplain. He was to rally the city's religious organizations for community policing efforts. He had also organized a Mischief Night walk in late October to discourage crime.
That work helped Hearne hold onto a strong reputation despite his allegedly advising convicted drug lord Jose Rivera on how to handle investigators.
In a 1997 wiretap, officials captured a conversation between Hearne and Rivera inside an East Camden gym. Investigators had just seized Rivera's boat. Hearne is heard on the tape telling Rivera "Don't do nothing . . . let them come to you."
No charges related to Rivera were ever filed against Hearne.

Ordnance Survey is a much-loved institution helping hikers and bikers find their way around Great Britain since 1791. Its detailed maps of our nation's peaks, troughs, churches and phone boxes are inimitable, so we thought we'd ask what more it knew about the UK that others do not.
Read on for 27 tidbits about our green and pleasant land...
1. There are more than 1,000 streets in the UK named High Street. Imaginative.
2. The coastline of Great Britain, including islands, is 31,368km, according to OS, with the mainland making up 17,819km. Other institutions have the figure lower - the CIA Factbook says 12,429km and the World Resources Institute says 19,717km. Either way, it’s more than most but not as much as Canada (265,523km).
3. Cornwall is the county with the longest coastline (1,086km) followed by Essex (905km) and Devon (819km).
4. The lowest point in Great Britain is Holme Fen in Cambridgeshire, at nine foot below sea level, while the lowest settlements are Stowbridge, Prikwillow, Ten Mile Bank and Nordelp.
5. The furthest point from the sea is just east of Church Flatts Farm, Coton-in-the-Elms, Derbyshire.
6. But what about the centre, a question apparently most asked of OS. “The truth is, that there can be no absolute centre for a three-dimensional land mass sitting on the surface of a sphere and surround by the ebb and flow of sea water,” a spokesperson said.
But… using the gravitational method, where Great Britain and its 401 associated islands shown at a 1:625,0000 scale balance, in theory, on the head of a pin, OS reckons the centre is 7km northwest of Dunsop Bridge, Lancashire, by Whitendale Hanging Stones on Brennard Farm in the Forest of Bowland. A BT phonebox nearby has a plaque that reads: “You are calling from the BT payphone that marks the centre of Great Britain.”
7. The county with the largest perimeter is Western Isles, with a 3,726km boundary, just ahead of Argyll and Bute, with 3,593km. The City of London has the smallest perimeter, at just 9.6km, ahead of Dundee, which has a 54km border.
8. Great Britain consists of more than 500 million geographic features, according to OS. And they’re ever-changing. OS regularly makes changes to its maps. On December 17 2014, the cartographers made a record number of changes - 383,889.
9. There are 321,000 miles of motorable roads in Great Britain. Despite the number of A roads and motorways falling since 2009, the actual length of roads has increased by 174 miles to 49,674 miles. The entire length of Britain’s road network is 215,940 miles.
10. Great Britain has 401,975 miles of waterways, that’s 12 times around the world.
11. The area of the UK is 94,525 square miles.
12. Great Britain gets bigger every time the tide goes out. The OS uses the high-water line to measure the coastline but when the tide is low some more islands or features appear.
13. You can be standing on the British coast at St Paul’s. This is because the North Sea ebbs and flows up and down the Thames as far west as Teddington Lock, near Richmond. Anywhere up to that point, including Westminster or the London Eye, can reveal beaches at low tide.
14. Lincolnshire is the county with the highest number of airstrips, with 35, including Waddington, Metheringham and North Coates. Essex is second, followed by Cambridgeshire and Suffolk in joint third with 22 each. Ten counties, most in the north of England or Scotland, only have one.
15. But who has the most roadside phoneboxes, we hear you cry? It’s Devon, of course, with 50, with its neighbour Cornwall in second with 40. North Yorkshire has 30. Again, some only have a solitary phonebox, including Merseyside, East Lothian and West Midlands.
16. The UK has 37,793,171 addresses according to OS’s address database.
17. Rather unsurprisingly, the country with the largest area of building is Greater London with 23,409 hectares. That’s fives times as much as nine times as much as Buckinghamshire and nearly 23 times as much as Nairn in the Highlands.
18. Argyll and Bute boasts the most woodland in the country, with 216,739 hectares, followed by Inverness and Ross and Cromarty. Northumberland, in sixth, is the highest ranking English county. The City of London has 0.1 hectares.
19. West Sussex is the country with largest area of non-residential glasshouses (commercial greenhouses), with 215 hectares, but Kent has by far the largest area of orchards (10,898 hectares), affirming its nickname as the Garden of England. West Yorkshire has just 14 hectares of orchards, while Tyne and Wear has half a hectare.
20. Outside of London, which has 12,616 hectares of road coverage, Devon has the largest coverage, with 11,175 hectares, followed by North Yorkshire (9,653).
21. Here’s one about the OS itself. Its mapping shop has had orders for items from as far afield as Panama, Madagascar and Argentina. Good know to they’re preparing properly for their trip to the Lakes.
22. And another: the first ever Ordnance Survey map is recognised as the one-inch map of Kent published in 1801. Work began on the map in 1795, but after attempting a six inches to the mile this was deemed too complex and scrapped in favour of the inch-to-a-mile effort.
23. The UK experiences some of the largest tides in the world, with a range of up to 15 metres. The world’s highest is at the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia, where the range is 17 metres.
24. Because of our large tidal range, the UK is vulnerable to Ocean Tide Loading which moves the earth up and down each day. In Cornwall, the range is up to 10cm, one of the largest ranges in the world.
25. It is likely of no surprise that London has the most charity shops, with 832, followed by Manchester (306) and West Midlands (303), but it may surprise you that the City of London has just one. All have even more fish and chip shops - London (947), Manchester (558) and West Midlands (535).
26. Outside of London, Norfolk has the most museums in the land, with 54, including the Time and Tide Museum, Ancient House Museum and the Norfolk Tank Museum. Hampshire is second with 51. Even little Rutland has one - that’d be the Rutland County Museum.
27. Hampshire has the second most playgrounds in the UK behind London. The capital has 2,756 - that’s a lot of playing - but Hampshire has 873, just ahead of Manchester (795).

Glass-hybrids: your partner in routine work
Restoring carious teeth is one of the major treatments that dentist provide for their patients. Glass hybrid materials are one of promising option for restoring the teeth. The main objective of this lecture is to show clinical use and advantages of glass-hybrid material in everyday practice.
Restoring carious teeth is one of the major treatments that dentist provide for their patients. There are many treatment options choice of which depends on caries risk of the patient, location and extent of the lesion, lesion activity and, of course, special demands placed on the restoration. New restorative concept based on glass hybrid technology, which combines GIC with different sizes of filler particles and nano filled composite resin coat, is a promising option for restoring the teeth. This material offers all the benefits of GIC, like strong chemical adhesion and bioactivity, but also high aesthetics, good and improved mechanical properties. Material is very suitable for application in deep cavities in the posterior region as it can heal damaged and demineralized dentin. Besides the role of fluorides in remineralization, there is also evidence of the transfer of calcium, phosphate and strontium ions from GIC deep into the demineralized dentin and surrounding enamel. When attempting to preserve pulp vitality and remove only infected dentin, the use of a highly viscous GIC is advantageous as its micro-tensile bond strength to affected dentin is not reduced in comparison to the bond to healthy dentin, while composite resin materials show lower bond strengths to caries-affected dentin.
As life expectancy is constantly increasing, the population is aging and changes in hard dental tissues and soft tissues associated with patients age or medical status can be seen in everyday clinical practice. Over time, teeth are exposed to different physiological and even pathological conditions. In older patient, wear and tear of hard dental tissues will be clearly visible and more pronounced with age. Furthermore, there is a high chance that the older patients will suffer from various medical problems and will need medications due to one or more chronic diseases. Unfortunately, some medications may result in certain side effects like salivary hypofunction and dry mouth. One should also bear in mind the physiological state of older patients as they may lack motivation for oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Moreover, soft tissues changes include gingival recession which causes exposed root surfaces so root caries lesions are frequently observed. Older patients will most certainly have some previous restorations, fixed prosthodontics work or removable partial dentures which can all present retention sites for food and plaque. Due to all aforementioned factors, older patients are usually high risk patients so they can benefit from restorative materials which are bioactive and have remineralising potential like GIC. Another specific group of patients are children. Restoring carious teeth is one of the major treatment needs of young children. What is specific for primary dentition is that there is a limited lifespan of the teeth and lower biting forces. Furthermore, when treating young children, we are in the need of a material that requires a short time to fill cavity using bulk technique. Another problem is maintaining a dry working field in young children but GIC are moisture tolerant materials and their adhesion or mechanical properties will not deteriorate in case of a small presence of moisture from saliva.
The main objective of this lecture is to show clinical use and advantages of glass-hybrid material in everyday practice.
- Describe glass-hybrid materials.
- Explain the current state of knowledge on clinical use of glass hybrid materials
- Contextualize strategies for restoring tooth lesions in different clinical situation

Lamborghini is recalling almost 1,500 of its 2004-6 Gallardo Coupe and Spyder models. In a report (PDF) posted recently on the Web site of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Lamborghini outlined a kind of thermochemical conga line of misfortune that could potentially lead to a fire.
It begins with “power-steering thermal stress” that might cause “a chlorine release from the high-pressure pipe surface.”
Now, a few more steps.
“If water is present the chlorine could create a corrosive chemical compound that might damage the external metallic protection of the high-pressure pipe.”
That corrosive compound might produce “a little hole,” allowing power-steering fluid to leak. Should that fluid reach a hot part of the engine, a fire might occur, the automaker concluded.
Lamborghini said it discovered the problem during routine internal testing, not from reports of crisped Gallardos from owners. The automaker told the safety agency it was not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the problem.
In a separate action, Honda told the agency (PDF) it would recall about 5,200 wiring harnesses sold for use on the 2007-11 Honda Element. The automaker said a flaw in the harnesses could cause the turn signals to work when only the brake lights were illuminated.

'They're money grabbers... I'm an easy target': Dave Lee Travis hits back, but admits, 'I'm no angel'
- DJ says he knew Jimmy Savile was attracted to 'young girls' but did not know the star's targets were underage
- Insists he would have reported his BBC colleague if he had known
- Denies groping women in 1970s but says such behaviour was 'the norm'
- Claims women who accuse him of assault wanted to sell their stories
Accused: Dave Lee Travis pictured arriving at Southwark Crown Court today for his assault trial
Dave Lee Travis denounced his accusers as money-grabbers in police interviews, but also conceded he was ‘not an angel’, a court was told yesterday.
The former radio DJ and Top of the Pops presenter said he had met millions of people during his long career but had always acted professionally.
He accused those who claim he sexually assaulted them of ‘imagining’ the attacks and dismissed their allegations as ‘ridiculous’.
17 hours of police interviews, Travis, known as DLT, said he was an
easy target in a money-grabbing culture.
Southwark Crown Court was told he described the allegations as ‘complete and utter nonsense’ and ‘absolute c**p’.
He claimed that many of his accusers came forward simply to make money from the media.
from the transcripts, prosecutor Teresa Hay said Travis felt the
allegations against him were ‘degrading’ and he could barely remember
the women involved.
‘He said if he had touched someone’s breasts he would admit it as it was considered to be flirtatious at the time and no one thought much about it,’ she said.
said he did not take advantage of people. If any of it had been true he
would put his hand up and say it was the norm in that period.
'But as far as these women were concerned, he did not touch them.
didn’t mess around with young girls. He felt he was in the firing line
and people could take shots at him if they want.
'The Press had no morals and now his morals were being questioned.’
Travis, 68, appearing in court under his real name David Patrick Griffin, sat in silence as sections of the police interviews were read to the jury.
He was interviewed under caution four times over 10 months after he was
first arrested in November 2012.
Past: Travis told police he knew that Jimmy Savile 'liked young girls' and thought, 'Good luck to him'
Paedophile: Travis insisted he did not know that Savile was targeting underage girls
He is on trial accused of indecently and sexually assaulting 11 women, the youngest of whom was 15 years old, over a period of 32 years.
Speaking about the many women he met, Travis said he was a ‘tactile’ person but was sensible and knew where the line of appropriate behaviour was.
‘He said everyone got opportunities,’ Mrs Hay said. ‘But he said, “If you live in a sweet shop you don’t eat sweets”. ’
told detectives he had been happily married since 1971 but appeared to
clam up when asked if he had any affairs.
Workplace: Travis and Savile worked together at BBC Television Centre in the 1970s
Quoting his reply, Mrs Hay said: ‘His marriage was rock solid...even if he had strayed and had an affair, what did that have to do with this?’
She added: ‘Even if he thought a woman looked nice he would not “dive in” because he was married.’
Travis was asked about his relationship with Jimmy Savile, who was exposed as a prolific paedophile after his death. He said they were colleagues, not friends, and suggested Savile was an ‘oddball’.
In court: The defendant pictured listening to the evidence during an earlier hearing in the trial
Travis admitted he knew Savile liked young girls and thought ‘good luck to him’, but added he did not think they were under the legal age of sexual consent.
Mrs Hay said Travis would have reported Savile if he knew he was a paedophile and was genuinely shocked by the scandal.
During the interviews, Travis admitted that groping was seen by some as the ‘norm’ in the 1970s but insisted he did not do it.
Travis denies all the allegations. The trial continues.

ever since i went down to 6" in the back, my wheel hop is terrible. when ever i dump the clutch now all i get is massive wheel hop, its so bad that it shakes my deck out of its place cuz its not secured. the things that were changed was the leafs which i thought was supposed to help, and i went from a 3" flat block, to a 3" tapered block. the only thing i can think of is that the blocks are not torquesd down enough, i think they are 60 ft/lbs, im not sure what they are supposed to be at though. is there any thing that can fix this besides traction bars, because those will get torn off in no time. or am i stuck with massive wheel hop, i hope not then i cant do anymore smokey burnouts which i like because the ol goodyears are almost done for.
