IPA and UPS avoid impasse after 5 years of negotiations
July 1, 2016 · 267 Views
The Atlanta-based delivery giant, United Parcel Service (UPS) and the Independent Pilot's Association have reached a tentative agreement concerning a new labor contract after a five-year period of negotiation. IPA represents 2,600 flight deck crew of the airline arm of the delivery company whose contracts fall under the legislation of US labor laws. Pilots' contracts do not come to an end and are simply renegotiated, while five years is not an unusual length for contract negotiations to last.
Issues being discussed have been predominantly based on issues from pay to retirement benefits, while that the principal problem which has stalled negotiations up until now has been work rules, particularly to avoid fatigue. Oilots have been looking for more time to rest between flights, applying rules akin to those which the Federal Aviation Administration has produced for airline pilots.
UPS has made it clear that up until now it has taken great care of its pilots, offering higher pay, better benefits and fewer flying hours than others in the same industry. UPS has successfully negotiated four contracts with its union over the 25+ years it has been running an airline.
While terms have not been revealed, the tentative agreement calls for a five-year labor contract, effective September 1, 2016 through to September 1, 2021. IPA leadership will now present the proposed contract to rank-and-file pilots for a vote that will be completed by August 31, which will require a majority vote for ratification.
IPA president Robert Travis said in a statement that "This tentative agreement has been unanimously approved and endorsed by both the IPA executive board and our negotiating committee," adding that he will present it to UPS pilots "with an unqualified recommendation for ratification."
According to Brendan Canavan, UPS Airlines president, "The contract rewards our crewmembers for their outstanding contributions and contains provisions that protect UPS's ability to deliver competitive service to our global customers."
This tentative agreement comes just over eight months after pilots at FedEx Corporation's FedEx Express ratified a labor contract which will run through to 2021.

Boeing, Airbus and Embraer to collaborate on aviation biofuel commercialization
March 22, 2012 · 85 Views
Boeing, Airbus and Embraer signed a memorandum of understanding to work together on the development of drop-in, affordable aviation biofuels. The three leading airframe manufacturers agreed to seek collaborative opportunities to speak in unity to government, biofuel producers and other key stakeholders to support, promote and accelerate the availability of sustainable new jet fuel sources. Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Jim Albaugh, Airbus President and CEO Tom Enders, and Embraer Commercial Aviation President Paulo Cesar Silva, signed the agreement at the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) Aviation and Environment Summit in Geneva.
"There are times to compete and there are times to cooperate," said Jim Albaugh. "Two of the biggest threats to our industry are the price of oil and the impact of commercial air travel on our environment. By working with Airbus and Embraer on sustainable biofuels, we can accelerate their availability and reduce our industry's impacts on the planet we share."
"We've achieved a lot in the last ten years in reducing our industry's CO2 footprint – a 45% traffic growth with only 3% more fuel consumption," said Tom Enders. "The production and use of sustainable quantities of aviation biofuels is key to meeting our industry's ambitious CO2 reduction targets and we are helping to do this through Research and Technology our expanding network of worldwide value chains and supporting the EU commission towards its target of 4% of biofuel for aviation by 2020."
"We are all committed to take a leading role in the development of technology programs that will facilitate aviation biofuels development and actual application faster than if we were doing it independently," said Paulo Cesar Silva. "Few people know that Brazil's well known automotive biofuels program started within our aeronautical research community, back in the seventies, and we will keep on making history."

Operating expenses in 2011 totaled $1,764.9m, compared to $1,584.6m last year, an increase of about 11%. Gross profits for this year totaled $278.3m (a ratio of about 13.6% on turnover), compared to $387.7m last year (a ratio of about 19.7% on turnover).

This was largely the result of increased expenditure on aviation fuel, because of the increase in market prices compared to in the parallel period last year.

When you visit downtown Bend, you may notice some unusually decorated trees. "A Christmas of Change" is a friendly competition for non-profits to raise money over the holiday season: "We've had a number of trees downtown. You'll see some of them, just a handful this year, that have been sponsored by local community organizations. So, while we've decorated the trunk of every tree and the tree up on the corner of Greenwood and Wall, you will also see the sponsored trees from these different community organizations that have extra decorations on them and they just look great." Downtown Bend Business Associations' Chuck Arnold says there are little tubes attached to each tree, where you can donate to the non-profits tree and the proceeds will be donated to beautify downtown bend and other charities.

This paper describes the opportunities and costs associated with the development of monitoring approaches for national climate change public finance. It describes a leading example of climate change budget tracking, summarises five tools that can support climate change financial monitoring, and identifies key enabling conditions for its effective application.
This white paper provides summaries of the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) by partner countries in the U.S. Government's Enhancing Capacity for Low Emission Development Strategies (EC-LEDS) program, and other designated priority countries.
Closing the gap between climate change ambitions and implementation will require a structural shift. The international community must be willing to seriously consider the type of global strategy recommended here by the Coalition on Paris Agreement Capacity Building. This strategy is an evolving thought piece, and is meant to spur new levels of action and dialogue.

Jason Alexander Hit a Teen Bicyclist
Former "Seinfeld" star Jason Alexander was left shaken up after he was involved in minor car collision with a cyclist in Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 27. The actor was driving through the city when his car collided with a 14-year-old boy, who was on his way to school, reports TMZ.com.
The unnamed victim reportedly fell off of his bike and suffered only bumps and bruises. He was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. According to law enforcement sources, speed was not a factor in the collision.
Alexander was not cited for the incident. He didn't run away from responsibility and waited for authorities and an ambulance to arrive at the scene. His spokesperson says, "Jason stayed with the cyclist until the paramedics and police arrived and all indications are that the injury was minor."

A jury is still considering charges filed against a Juneau man for stealing a truck and ramming it into the front of the Alaskan Brewing Company. Deliberations on charges against Michael Rae lasted 6 1/2 hours on Friday before jurors decided to go home for the weekend. Some of the questions submitted to the court included a request to hear an investigator's testimony again and whether they could deliberate until courthouse closing hours.
Last April, employees of the Alaskan Brewing Company arrived at work to find the front door to the brewery's gift shop and tasting room smashed in and several six-packs, a case, a few kegs of beer missing. A bumper was left behind that was traced to a truck apparently stolen from the nearby Lemon Creek Breeze-in store.
Police arrested 54-year old Rae at his residence in the Switzer Village trailer park where he allegedly unloaded the beer. But evidence obtained during execution of a search warrant at Rae's trailer was declared inadmissible. Most of the prosecution's direct evidence hinges on a disgruntled former roommate who was camping in his van near the trailer on the night of the burglary.
Repairs to the truck and brewery cost over $13,000. Value of the beer was appoximately $517.
The trial started on Monday with jury selection.
During closing arguments Friday morning, defense attorney Kevin Higgins said prosecutors have evidence of a crime, but no proof that Rae did it. The prosecution provided a shaky witness – that former roommate John McGillis — who could not consistently remember details.
"And because of that, he's the weakest link in the case," said Higgins. "And because of that, this unbroken chain of events does not link to Michael Rae."
District Attorney Dave Brower on Thursday showed videotape of the Breeze-In truck going back and forth between the brewery and Rae's residence in Switzer Village. He disputed the claim that his witness provided inconsistent testimony.
"John McGillis's testimony, standing by itself, might be a hard pill to swallow," admitted Brower during closing arguements on Friday. "But standing with those videos that corroborate everything that he told Detective (Krag) Campbell, points directly to Michael Rae."
Rae's disruptive behavior in the courtroom prompted recently-installed Superior Court Judge Louis Menendez to frequently warn him that the trial could be held without his presence. But there were no disruptions from Rae as the case was sent to the jury on Friday.

Re: Reporting on New CC's-Getti
ng my score to raise
"Keep your utilization painfully low" means never let your total balance exceed 30% of your total credit limits.
Also, at the phase of rebuilding you're in, I'd apply the same logic to each individual card just to make sure your lenders remain secure in your ability to pay. So, for example, never put more than $60 on that Slate with a $200 limit. Treat it as if the actual credit limit is 30% of what it actually is.
"Wait and be patient" means no applications, no requests for credit limit increase, none of that. Just use all 4 cards every month, and pay them like clockwork. With a payment history as cluttered with lates as you say yours is, the best way to improve your score is rack up a good 6-12 months of perfectly on-time payments.

The Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Efthimios E. Mitropoulos, has expressed his profound sadness for the loss of life in the sinking of the ro-ro ferry Spice Islander I off the coast of the United Republic of Tanzania on 10 September.
"We are shocked at the number of lives lost and have offered any help and technical assistance which may be required," Mr. Mitropoulos said, adding that IMO was willing to provide assistance in investigating the cause of the accident and, following on from that, in working with the United Republic of Tanzania to prevent further such accidents occurring.
Mr. Mitropoulos commended the work of the Dar es Salaam Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) sub-centre (which was commissioned by IMO in 2009) in coordinating the rescue. The sub-centre confirmed to IMO on Monday (12 September) that, so far, 187 bodies had been recovered and 619 people had been rescued.
While IMO regulations, such as those contained in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), do not apply to ships trading on domestic routes, IMO has worked with a number of countries and non-governmental organizations to improve safety on so-called "non-convention" vessels.
With the assistance of IMO, model safety regulations for inland waterways vessels and non-convention craft, including fishing vessels operating in Africa, were developed in 2001. Those regulations were agreed by representatives of Burundi, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The model regulations were aimed at providing a regional safety and pollution prevention standard for new vessels and barges and, as appropriate, existing vessels and convention-sized ships that trade regularly on inland waterways and at sea on non-international voyages, and for personnel serving aboard them.
Search and rescue coverage around Africa
Search and rescue coverage around Africa has been developed following the 2000 IMO Conference on Search and Rescue and the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), held in Florence, Italy. In one of the resolutions adopted by the Conference, African countries bordering the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (from Morocco to Somalia, anti-clockwise, as well as the nearby Atlantic and Indian Ocean Island States) were invited to establish, in co-operation with IMO, five sub-regional centres and 26 sub-centres to cover their entire coastline areas for search and rescue coordination purposes, in order to provide search and rescue coverage in what had previously been identified as one of the areas suffering most from a lack of adequate SAR and Global Maritime Distress and Safety System infrastructure.
This process was finalized earlier in 2011 with the signing of an agreement on the North and West African sub-regional Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC), establishing a new MRCC near Rabat, Morocco. This had been preceded by MRCCs commissioned in Mombasa, Kenya, in 2006 (its sub-centres in Dar es Salaam and Victoria, Seychelles, were both commissioned in 2009); in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2007; in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2008; and in Monrovia, Liberia, in 2009, completing the chain of sub-regional African MRCCs, each with its own network of associated sub-centres.

*As the March 31 deadline looms to sign up for health insurance without taking a penalty, President Obama took his pitch to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in today's broadcast, where talk eventually turned to her now-iconic Oscar selfie that beat his election night record for the most retweeted Twitter post ever.
"I heard about that. I thought it was a pretty cheap stunt, myself," Obama joked about the celeb-packed group shot she sent when she hosted the Academy Awards earlier this month. "Getting a bunch of celebrities in the background, you feeding them pizza."
The selfie beat Obama's 2012 election-night victory photo of him hugging wife Michelle Obama for the most retweets ever, with more than 3.4 million retweets to date.
Watch a portion of President Obama's Thursday appearance on "Ellen" below.

St. Barnabas announces the addition of a multi-sensory room to its program offerings.
St. Barnabas's multi-sensory room is state-funded by UnitedHealthcare Community and State Plan, and can be set to either relaxation mode or stimulation mode. The room can be staged to provide a multi-sensory experience or single sensory focus, simply by adapting the lighting, atmosphere, sounds, and textures to the specific needs of the individual at the time of use.
Specific therapeutic outcomes aren't expected – instead, the focus is to help users gain the maximum pleasure possible from the multi-sensory activity, officials said. Because it does not rely on verbal communication, it may be beneficial for people with dementia and those who would otherwise be almost impossible to reach. Sensory stimulation can decrease behavioral issues arising from mental health and dementia diagnoses, according to researchers.
"This modality is already being used with autistic children and the mentally ill," says Traci McKenzie, member advocate, East Tennessee, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. "Research indicates the elderly also benefit, that sensory stimulation can de-escalate behavior issues, improves mental outlook, and decreases depression."
For instance, aromatherapy improves appetite, says Ms. McKenzie, and is also indicated in the triggering of memories.
"We are pleased to be chosen to launch this important new program," said St. Barnabas President and CEO David Wildgen. "This concept aligns very well with our mission as a health care ministry."
The CHOICES program, part of TennCare, requires managed-care organizations to participate in a quality of life project, and St. Barnabas was selected to pilot Tennessee's first multi-sensory room in a health care facility.
"I wanted to do something in a facility that would promote better quality of life for residents in our community," says Ms. McKenzie, who attended St. Barnabas's dedication of its new facility in 2007. "I feel non-profits like St. Barnabas don't always get the opportunities."
St. Barnabas provides health care and rehabilitation therapy. For more information, visit www.st-barnabas.com

From: Washington, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Drought Tolerant, Privacy Screening, Shrubs, Trees
Title: Privacy screen for barn from Washington TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:We live on a large ranch and have someone now next to us that built a barn on our fence line that we want to make a tree barrier to hide it, so we need to plant trees that will grow at least 15-29 feet, big and wide/full, that are for Texas/drought resistant but safe for horses/cattle too?
Two things we want you to know: First, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center recommends only plants native not only to North America but also to the area in which those plants grow naturally; in your case, Washington Co., TX. Such plants will have a better chance of having the right soil, climate and rainfall for their particular requirements. The second thing you should know is that there is no such thing as an "instant" tree. We can certainly find some trees that will have an ultimate height of 30 feet or more, but it will be a number of years before they get that way. And before you say you want fast-growing trees, generally speaking, fast-growing trees are shorter lived and sometimes more susceptible to damage and breakage of limbs. And they still don't get tall overnight.
For this sort of a problem, we like to offer plants for a mixed screen of trees, shrubs, tall grasses and even herbaceous blooming plants. As these plants grow, they will not only start to screen your view of the barn, but the view the neighbors have of your property. Different textures and sizes, along with seasonal blooms or berries will distract the eye until you hardly notice the barn.
You need to look at the area where your new plantings will be to determine how much sunshine it will get. We consider "sun" to be 6 hours or more of sun a day, "part shade" 2 to 6 hours of sun, and "shade" 2 hours or less. Since you did not specify the amount of sunshine for your space, you will need to follow each plant link on the list we give you to our webpage on that plant to find its best growing conditions.
Many of these plants will be woody plants, trees and shrubs, which should be planted in colder weather (November to January) in Texas. If you must plant them now, do it quickly, preferably in the evening, having the necessary hole already prepared with some compost mixed into the native soil. For each woody plant, stick a hose deep in the prepared soil after planting and let it drip until the surface is damp. In the heat of a Texas summer, you should do this once or twice a week until the plant is well-established, it starts raining or it gets cooler, whichever comes first.
To find these recommended plants, we will go to our Native Plant Database, scroll down to the Combination Search and, using the right hand list, select on Texas for state, "tree" for habit, "dry" for Soil Moisture and 12 to 36 ft. for Height. After making 3 selections from that list, we will make subsequent selections with searches for "shrub," "grass/grass-like," and "herb" for Habit, without specifying heights. Before it goes on our list, we will have checked to ensure that the plant is indeed native to the Washington County area.
Cercis canadensis var. texensis (Texas redbud)
Cornus drummondii (Roughleaf dogwood)
Aristida purpurea (Purple threeawn)
Bothriochloa laguroides ssp. torreyana (Silver beard grass)
Schizachyrium scoparium (Little bluestem)
Herbaceous Blooming Plants
Aphanostephus skirrhobasis (Lazy daisy)
Asclepias tuberosa (Butterflyweed)
Centaurea americana (American star-thistle)
There are many more plants in each category in our database; this was just an exercise to help you learn to use the database and make your own selection.
On the subject of plants safe for horses and cattle, here are links to databases to search (by scientific name) for plants poisonous to animals:
The Merck Veterinary Manual
University of Arkansas
University of Illinois (common names only)
Toxic Plants of Texas
Poisonous Plants of North Carolina
Cornell University Plants Poisonous to Livestock
University of Pennsylvania Poisonous Plants
Canadian Poisonous Plants Information System
FInding the plant listed is a good indication of toxicity. However, not finding the plant listed doesn't guarantee that it is non-toxic, but it increases the probability that it is. It is a good idea to check with your veterinarian.

Can you be serious? Firstly, you're comparing two songs that sound nothing alike, and two, Billie Joe does not sing about his 'hays' and 'wows', if you were a true music fanatic, you would understand the whole concept of what the punk rock band itself is trying to say . The whole point of American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown is the message BJ and co. deliver through their politically charged lyrics. Their live shows aren't just the best 1 hour/2 hour sets that any punk rock band, or any band, have ever conducted in the last 10 years, but is a theatrical work of art. There work isn't just about the amazing sounds that come out of their guitars, but about the whole show itself. Have you ever seen them live?
So what if the media have replayed this song thousands of times on the radio and probably tried to melt it down to another 'mediocre' slot on an early morning breakfast show, but you have to understand the true background of 'Do you know your enemy?'.
For once, stop listening to the 'nice sounds' of a song, and focus on the message itself, then you might appreciate the band a little bit more. If you have done this and not succeeded, proceed in comparing rock giants to pop bands, and resume in joining the rest of society of comparing bands like Green Day, to Justin Bieber. //Rant Over//

Putting the challenge back into fishingFRANK KING & SHANE GIBBONS

Putting the challenge back into fishing
Fishing in the Bay of Plenty had been up to its usual level of awesomeness.
After yet another sunrise kayak excursion a few kilometres out off our local beach, my mate Gibbo and I were back on the beach by 8am with as many snapper as we chose to keep and a hell of a lot more released to fight another day. (It should be noted that we keep only a small portion of our catch, and give the majority away to people who can neither catch it themselves or afford to pay up to $39 a kilo for fish caught in their own backyards.)
As we dragged our 'yaks up the beach, passers-by out for their early morning beach strolls gathered and marvelled at our catches, and as we casually answered their excited questions, it hit us that we needed a bit more of a challenge in our fishing lives. Perhaps we should give the fish a bit more of a chance of beating the odds, which are usually so heavily stacked against them when up against our assorted dazzling, precision-made gear, all armed with chemically-sharpened hooks?
The following week, while at work, a small Norfolk pine caught our attention, and it was agreed that we were to each produce a rod made from a branch of said tree, along with insulation tape and wire.
Reels were to be two, almost identical, very old Japanese Olympic 98 reels purchased off good old Trade-Me for around five bucks each.
After manufacturing our rods in strict secrecy (to avoid any risk of copying), about an hour later, two very different designs emerged.
While I elected for a very traditional spin-type rod, albeit short, heavy and without any trace of flex or bend, Gibbo cunningly went for a design based on the old poacher's rod, but probably ended up with a lot more flex than he'd like. I would be praying for him to catch a large kingie, barracouta or (if my prayers were really to be answered) a nice fat bronze whaler shark!
So, armed with our vintage Japanese reels (white headbands were considered), branch rods, wire and tape, the scene was set. (We did allow ourselves the luxury of standard sinkers and hooks this time.)
Any trepidation about the performance of our equipment while paddling out under the early morning stars soon faded after good-sized snapper started filling the bins.
While our rods had their own very distinct characteristics, particularly flex traits at their extremities, they and the old Olympic 98s were very much up to the task, resulting in good-sized trevally, kahawai and snapper up to around 3.5kg being landed, plus rat kingies that were caught and released. (Where were you, Mr Bronzie, when I really needed you?)
So here we were, back on the beach with our catches around 0800 hours once more, with the same spectators, same questions and a lot of additional explanation around our fishing equipment. So we decided even more of a challenge was required.
Take two: same rules for the rods, but the reels had to be home made, while hooks were to be constructed from wire, and the 'sinkers' selected from our scrap metal bin. We would go out before work in my Mac 360 and fish for one hour.
New branches were selected - the tree needed pruning anyway - and the heart of the reels had to be discarded plastic line spools. Two similar looking combos were produced, although Gibbo's had a definite Rastafarian look about it. Both had very slow 1:1 retrieve ratios, with one turn of the handle retrieving about 10-12cm of line, so fishing in our usual 20 metres of water was going to be interesting. Also, there was no drag, anti-reverse, or other luxuries we now take for granted.
Hooks consisted of wire bent into in a variety of shapes and thicknesses (with a distinct lack of barbs); as for sinkers, they were no problem, with nuts and bolts being the obvious choices.
After a short jaunt up the river and over the bar, we motored out to sea about two kilometres under the stars, anchored up, and were fishing by around 6.45am.
'Dropping' the lines proved to be problematic, with the solution being to wind backwards all the way to the bottom.
Once there though, results were instant, with Gibbo catching and releasing the first snapper of around 32cm. However, despite my thicker-hook rigs being nailed immediately upon hitting the bottom, I was for all intents 'feeding the fish'. Then, what was clearly a larger fish took my bait, but by the time I managed to stop the handle wildly rotating, gaining a few hard whacks to my knuckles in the process, it was gone.
A change to a finer-gauged wire hook saw improved penetration and immediate success, with a solid snapper secured. This signalled the start of a fruitful hour that produced snapper, trevally and kahawai - but nothing of significant size to truly test our gear.
So with the proceeds of our catch distributed amongst our workmates later on, we were left pondering what our next challenge might be...

Having lived in Caracas for in 1967-68, when the Venezuelans were in prosperity
times and seeing the high rise apartments become dwelling places for people out
of the slums, it is interesting to see that those apartment buildings have
become crumbling apartment towers. Now food lines are sharing the same sidewalk
ironically with cheering crowds eager to say goodbye to their departed dictator
who promised them the stars and gave them nothing in return except debt.
I remember Che Guevarra living in the hills in the 1960s trying to overtake the people from outside and failed. However, their own Army General became a dictator took them to Cuban communism and socialism. It will be hard to change under the current government, led by Chavez's hand-picked successors even with elections in April.

Our government has been trying to make us socialistic in a world that has had
problems making a go in that kind of society for generations. Our government is
making our own people worry and creating stress, stress in the family, stress at
work without relaxing.
I can see with the loss of personal freedoms or civil rights, government will continue fighting with everyone and government can do everything badly without a government by the people and for the people.
It doesn't take long for a society to forget their past if they don't study the history of the country with an objective eye not force fed by people that want domination of their type of indoctrination.

Mother and daughter who BOTH beat their bullies: Student suffered cruel taunts for being pretty but then became a beauty queen and aced her exams... just like her mum
- Charlotte Peach suffered years of cruel taunts about looks and A-Grades
- Abuse was so bad, police called in after house was trashed
- Mother suffered the same 38 years ago and won beauty pageant in 1975
- Went on to ace exams and gain University place, as well as win beauty competition
A university student who was tormented by bullies at school for being a 'geek' has had the last laugh after being crowned a beauty queen champion and acing her exams - just like her mother.
Charlotte Peach, 20, suffered years of cruel taunts about her looks and straight A-Grades by bullies who teased her for being intelligent.
The abuse got so bad throughout her
teenage years that police were called after cyber-bullies targeted her
on Facebook and vandalised her parent's home.
But, in an extraordinary echo of her mother's own life, Charlotte has now been crowned 'Miss Undergraduate' in a beauty contest 38 years after her mum won a beauty pageant too.
Last laugh: Charlotte Peach was tormented by bullies at school for being a geek and pretty has had the last laugh after becoming a beauty queen champion
They also branded her 'tree-trunk legs',
a 'big-boobed bimbo' and a 'Jordan wannabe' because of her good looks
and curvy figure.
But she went on to achieve six A*s and 5 A's at GCSE, and two A's and a B at A-Level to get a place at the University of Birmingham.
Beauty and the geek: They also branded her a 'Jordan wannabe' because of her good looks and curvy figure but she defiantly went on to achieve great A-level grades
Like mother like daughter: Charlotte suffered just like her mother did exactly 38 years ago but they overcame their demons
Her glamorous mother Linda, 53, was also subjected to similar teenage anguish by jealous girls who teased her about her brains and beauty in the 70s.
Maths ace Charlotte followed in her mother's footsteps when was named Miss Undergraduate - exactly 38 years since Linda was named Miss Pelsall in her home town in the West Midlands in 1975.
Charlotte said: 'I never let the bullies get me down and luckily I've rose above it all.
'I've made some true friends for life since I joined uni - and I've finally been able to feel confident in myself.
Following her footsteps: Maths ace Charlotte followed in her mother's footsteps when she was named Miss Undergraduate - exactly 38 years since Linda was named Miss Pelsall in her home town in the West Midlands in 1975
Thankful: Charlotte is grateful that she can share her worries with her mother who helps her stay grounded
'I've got my mum to thank for it, as we've both stayed pretty grounded and to a uncanny extent mirrored each others lives.
'The bullies called me things like "tree-trunk legs" once they knew I didn't like my legs.
'They called me Jordan because I used to wear short dresses and make-up, as well as the other obvious comparison which they drew.
Tormented: Single mother-of-two Linda, a bank worker, also suffered the same fate at the hands of teenage girls during her school-life at Pelsall Comprehensive during the 70s but went on to have the last laugh
'It go to the point where they egged my mum's car and ripped up the flower bed, we had to get the police in and they asked whether we wanted to push harassment charges.
'But I just wanted them to stop.
'It was mostly online - they wouldn't say anything to my face, they just pretended I was invisible and completely ignored me. It was a living hell.'
Both mother and daughter's teenage years were tainted with anguish as they suffered cruelty at the hands of twisted bullies.
Talented: Charlotte spent her secondary school life shunned for being too intelligent and teased for taking part in public speaking debates and playing piano
Cruel: She suffered at the hands of online bullies who called her a bimbo and drew cruel pictures of her
Charlotte spent her secondary school life at Chasetown Specialist Sports College shunned for being too intelligent and teased for taking part in public speaking debates and playing piano.
Single mother-of-two Linda, a bank worker, also suffered the same fate at the hands of teenage girls during her school-life at Pelsall Comprehensive during the 70s.
She added: 'Charlotte didn't fit into the crowd of the popular girls who dated the school football team but also wasn't your traditional geeky pupil either.
'She was just in the middle and suffered for it.
Terrified: The mother and daughter duo were so scared of the bullies they didn't want to leave the house and Linda's car even got trashed
'It's easy to say as a mother they were jealous of her but it is plain to see that's what it was.
'She got a whole deluge of abuse that just broke her heart. She actually believed she was fat and ugly.
'As a family it was a horrific time for us. We got to the point we didn't want to go on holiday because we didn't want to leave the house.
'I knew how she felt to an extent, although nowhere near as badly because I was teased for winning the beauty contest.
Support: Linda supported her daughter through her ordeal as she knows exactly what it feels like. Charlotte is now celebrating her win with a free trip to Ibiza
'People said 'who do you think are?' and would be pretty cruel to me. But I only did it to make up the numbers.
'But without mobile phones and Facebook, I was quite fortunate in comparison as it always stopped when I got home.'
Charlotte, who won a holiday to Ibiza as part of her beauty pageant victory, added: 'At least we can both say now we've had the last laugh.'
